WWF In Your House 5: Season's Beatings - December 1995


WWF In Your House 5: Season's Beatings - December 17th 1995 - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Matches
Razor Ramon and Marty Janetty defeated 1-2-3 Kid and Sycho Sid (7/10)
Ahmed Johnson defeated Buddy Landel (5/10)
 
Henry Godwin defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley {Arkansas Hog Pen Match} (8/10)
Owen Hart defeated Diesel by DQ (6/10)
The Undertaker defeated King Mabel {Casket Match} (6/10)
Bret Hart defeated British Bulldog {WWF World Heavyweight Title} (8/10)

Moments - Positives
The main event was very good, well built up and a rematch of the Summerslam 1992 main event but this time for the World Title. The opening tag match was also very good and there was a segment with Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler leading to Jarrett attacking Ahmed Johnson which was very well worked and fun. Finally, the Hog Pen match between Godwin and HHH was really good and for that match and the main event, this show is worth a watch!

Moments - Negatives
An average Casket match and an average Diesel/Hart match lower the standard of the event which was very weird as both matches were really well built up and had a great storyline but just did not deliver on the day in my opinion.

Overall Summary
This show was quite up and down with some great moments and great matches as well as some dissapointments. Having said that, this was one of the more solid In Your House PPVs and it truly showed that by the end of 1995, WWF had enough talent and enough ideas to run monthly PPV events! 

SCORE = 7.5
