WWF In Your House 6: Rage in the Cage - February 1996


WWF In Your House 6: Rage in the Cage - February 18th 1996 - Louisville, Kentucky

Matches
Razor Ramon defeated 1-2-3 Kid {Cry Baby Match} (7/10)
Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Duke Droese (6/10)
 
Yokozuna defeated British Bulldog (6/10)
Shawn Michaels defeated Owen Hart {Wrestlemania Title Shot Match} (7/10)
Bret Hart defeated Diesel {WWF World Heavyweight Title Cage Match} (8/10)

Moments - Positives
Afew great highlights on this one like a classic promo by Roddy Piper, Yokozuna going into the match against the Bulldog as a face which included the first promo by Yokozuna himself (slightly dissapointing that he had a full blown US accent), a great match between HBK and Hart for the Mania title shot and a truly classic ending to the Cage Match for the World title as Undertaker comes from underneath the ring to cost Diesel the match. A great set up for a Wrestlemania match.

Moments - Negatives
HHH match was a bit slow and some of the Cage Match main event could have been better. I was also slightly dissapointed with the Hart/HBK match - I was expecting a true classic and instead got an average HBK bout. 

Overall Summary
Nowhere near as good as the Rumble but then all this show needed to do is set up some good feuds for Wrestlemania 12. It did that very well with the Yokozuna face turn, the Diesel/Taker showdown and reiterating the fact that HBK was due his World title shot. Overall, a very solid event!

SCORE = 7.5
