Rating: 3/4* Vader defeated Arn Anderson by countout in 0:25:59. Rating: *** (Arn Anderson retained the WWF World Title.) Card rating: *** 1/4 Match observations: The Giant ripped into Dave Finlay like a man possessed... and paid for it. In his fury he didn't pick up Finlay correctly when performing his Choke Slam and proceeded to tear his own biceps. Just when you thought he was on a run... The Head Hunters, Toshiaki Kawada and Yokozuna, Cactus Jack and Sabu and the new WWF World Tag Team Champions Rick Steiner and Steve Williams will square off against one another in a four-way elimination match to determine who really is the top team in the WWF today. With all due respect to Steiner and Williams, their victory over Cactus and Sabu was a lucky one. Only Williams' tenacity secured them the straps when they were on the verge of dropping the match. Due to the inconclusive finishes tonight, WWF officials have ordered Bret Hart and the Great Muta, Steve Austin and Diamond Dallas Page and Vader and Arn Anderson to wrestle one another in rematches. The winner of the Great Muta vs Bret Hart match will face the Intercontinental Champion at the King of the Ring. The winner of Steve Austin vs DDP will face the Vader/Anderson winner for the WWF Title. Justin Bradshaw really did a number on Sting tonight. Nobody gave him a snowball's chance in hell against the former WWF World Champion but the wily Texan proved everyone wrong. The two will meet again in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring. After the classic they put on tonight, Rick Steamboat and Dean Malenko will face one another for the Intercontinental Title in a two-out-of-three falls match on Friday night in MSG. Stay tuned !
