WWF In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies - April 1996


WWF In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies - April 28th 1996 - Omaha, Nebraska

Matches
Owen Hart and British Bulldog defeated Jake Roberts and Ahmed Johnson (6/10)
Ultimate Warrior defeated Goldust by count-out (3/10)
Vader defeated Razor Ramon (6/10)

Bodydonnas defeated The Godwinns {WWF Tag Team Titles} (6/10)
Shawn Michaels defeated Diesel {WWF World Heavyweight Title No Holds Barred Match} (8/10)

Moments - Positives
The main event was certainly the highlight of this In Your House as it featured the last ever Diesel match in the WWF. It was a terrific encounter between two best friends both off screen and on screen. Check out the powerbomb through the announcers table - excellent. The other highlights was an entertaining opener and even though very poor as a "match" - an entertaining showdown between the Warrior and Goldust.


Moments - Negatives
One thing that was very clear is that The Ultimate Warrior had no place in the new WWF generation and he looked very out of place. The showdown with Goldust was entertaining but not good enough for the now generation. It wasnt even a match and you feel quite cheated - especially after Warriors match at Mania 12.

Overall Summary
A pretty good show, solid is a strong word. Razor jobbed to Vader because of his drug issues and its a shame that this was the last PPV before Nash and Hall both moved to WCW. I think they had a lot more to give to the WWF. This show was a landmark and was a kind of an end of an era to some extend. A good PPV to see if you want to see something which contains a bit of history.

SCORE = 7
