Moments - Positives
Kane's first ever match is very good as he faces Mankind. At this stage Kane's matches had red ring lights throughout and there was something truly eerie about it all. Austin finally recaptured the IC title in a solid match against Owen Hart - rematch from Summerslam. And of course this is the last Hart match in the WWF, the Montreal screwjob can be witnessed in full glory.
Moments - Negatives
The Survivor Series matches were very average (though the Team Canada vs Team USA match was ok). The screwjob is a positive and negative, as from another perspective it really ruined the main event through its abrupt ending.
Overall Summary
What can one say, everyone should watch this PPV so they can not only witness the end of an era and the end of Hart's 10+ year career with the WWF but also to witness the birth of Mr McMahon's character, the famous screwjob which is still talked about today and HBK recapturing the WWF title. The rest of the card to some extent is very irrelevant!
SCORE = 8.5
