The main event of the evening, alongside Steve Austin vs. Jeff Jarrett, will 
now be a tag match featuring Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart vs. Scott Hall and Triple
H.


Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko and Jamie Noble defeated
Brian Kendrick, Tajiri and Maven when D. Malenko made Maven submit to
a figure-four leglock in 0:15:52.
Rating: ** 3/4

Not as amazing as the Cruiserweight match on Smackdown, but still a solid match
to open up the show.  Malenko will surely be in line for a shot at Kendrick's
title very soon.


Chris Benoit made Chris Jericho submit to the Crippler Crossface in 0:10:52.
Rating: ****

Another excellent match from these two Canadians.  Further performances like
this will see them headlining Pay Per Views in the very near future.

Instead of Ted DiBiase facing the Hurricane, as was previously scheduled, the
Million Dollar Man's new bodyguard, the Big Show will take his place.


The Big Show pinned Hurricane Helms with the Showstopper in 0:03:43.
Rating: ** 1/2

An easy victory by the Big Show, following which, Ted DiBiase removed a dollar
bill from his jacket and shoved it in The Hurricane's mouth.


Number-One-Contenders-Match:
Eddie Guerrero and Lance Storm defeated The Dudley Boys when E. Guerrero pinned
Bubba after a Northern Lights suplex in 0:22:50.
Rating: ** 1/2
(Chavo Guerrero Jr. no-showed.)

Eddie and Storm win the match, despite the no-show from Chavo.  Will Storm 
remain in Chavo's place for the tag title match at the Royal Rumble?

Jarrett did exactly what he said, and he beat Austin.  The Chosen One looked
incrediby pleased with himself as he left the ring.


The Kliq (Triple H and Scott Hall) defeated Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart when Hall
 pinned The Hulkster with the Outsider Edge in 0:16:16.
Rating: ** 1/4

Scott Hall pinned the World Champion.  This should give him a major advantage
over Hogan going into the Rumble.



Card rating: ** 1/2


Match observations: 

A big win for Scott Hall, cementing his position as the Number 1 Contender.
Benoit and Jericho put on the match of the night, in an unforgettable contest.
