Card rating: *** 1/4 Match observations: There has probably never been a better team who managed not to get along on so many different levels as Chris Benoit and Ken Shamrock. Those two have it all: the wrestling skill, the poise, the great brawling... you name it. Really, all that is missing is a team spirit, and for that reason, the two of them will be given the chance to split up - despite being WWF World Tag Team Champions. They will be facing one another at WrestleMania. Whoever wins this encounter will be permitted to name a new tag team partner with whom he will hold the WWF World Tag Team Titles. The Acolytes continue to kick some serious butt, and as Kensuke Sasaki found out tonight, there is one sure way to tick off Bradshaw: lariat him. Nobody really knows what goes on in Cactus Jack's mind. He announced tonight that he will not be wrestling Stan Hansen at WrestleMania 2015 "for personal reasons"... whatever that may mean. He did point out, though, that he will be finding suitable replacement against Hansen. He better because nobody but the best has ever been able to defeat Hansen ! Shawn Michaels and Canadian WWF superstar Edge keep duking it out for the WWF Intercontinental Title. After last night's upset win, Shawn Michaels through his sheer determination pulled off a win over Edge which gave him the Intercontinental title once again. Way to go, Shawn and Edge ! They will be rematched at WrestleMania... in one of Shawn Michals' speciality matches, a ladder match. The Rock was the prime beneficiary of Hollywood Hogan's interference once again. Just as Chris Benoit was about to put him away, Hogan came to the rescue. However, he may have hurt his own title chances beyond repair in the process. WWF officials determined that either Hogan drop his title shot - or that he agree to a new contract which calls for the winner of the Hogan-Rock match getting the WWF World Title and the loser leaving the WWF forever !
