Moments - Positives
This was another very solid In Your House PPV with some pretty good spots. Mero/Sable encounter was pretty entertaining and ended with Sable having to leave the WWF. Rock's feud with Farooq was excellent after Farooq was thrown out of the Nation and the Nation/DX feud was really heating up. It was clear to see that HHH and Rock were truly pivotal to the future of the WWF. Another fine re-match between Dude Love and Steve Austin with some classic Vince McMahon cheating moments and Austin counting the three falls with Vince's unconcious hands to retain the title. Excellent.
Moments - Negatives
The handicap match was pretty poor as was the opening contest. I also thought that the Kane/Vader match had the potential and feud to be terrific but just did not deliver. Its a shame.
Overall
The continuation of the McMahon/Austin feud was so much fun to watch that it just made the PPV events. McMahon knew how to draw heat and he was such an excellent heel. Austin's was becoming so popular that it was clear some fans were only watching to see Austin. Either way, the rest of the supporting card is good enough to make this a very good In Your House!
SCORE = 8.5
