In Your House 23: Fully Loaded - The Results

Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews Sable on her bikini...and Sable gives him a sneak preview.

Before the next match, Val Venis says he is about to do something he has always wanted to do. He then says "California, here I come!" and is about to take his tights off when Tennessee Lee introduces "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. As Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight, the latter being the former Phineas I. Godwinn) is ejected from ringside, Yamaguchi-san and Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki) show up. Kaientai is ejected from ringside, but Yamaguchi-san makes it to the commentary table and guests on commentary.

Val Venis beats Jeff Jarrett. During the match, Venis knocks Jarrett into referee Tim White, knocking him down. Tennessee Lee takes advantage of the situation by crotching Venis on the top rope, and Jarrett hits a superplex before Venis rolls Jarrett up in a small package for a near-fall. Venis sends Jarrett into Tennessee Lee, who is standing on the apron, and rolls Jarrett up for the pinfall. Also during the match, Yamaguchi-san says that he and Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki) will have a surprise for Venis tomorrow night on Raw. After the match, Venis tells Yamaguchi-san his wife was right and that he will never measure up to The Big Valbowski.

We see Stu Hart's home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

D'Lo Brown beats X-Pac after "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa hits X-Pac from the apron. X-Pac turns around and knocks him out, but D'Lo Brown hits X-Pac with the Sky High for the victory. Edge is seen in the crowd after the match.

Kevin Kelly and Tom Prichard report that The Undertaker still has not made it to the arena on WWF.com.

Before the next match, Terry Funk says what's on paper isn't always important, and says it is in your heart that is. Funk then announces that this is his last WWF match for the next six months, as he had a rough go with Mick Foley and wants to recharge his batter. The news does not sit well with tag team partner Bradshaw. (The match proves to be Funk's last match in the WWF.)

2 Cold Scorpio and Faarooq beat Brashaw and Terry Funk. After the match, Bradshaw berates Terry Funk, feeling Funk cost him the match, and beats him up. Scorpio gets back in the ring and trys to save Funk, but Bradshaw lays him out. Faarooq confronts Bradshaw, and Bradshaw hits Faarooq with a steel chair as he checks on Scorpio.

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry beats Vader.

We see another shot of Stu Hart's home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We then hear from Kevin Kelly and Tom Prichard, who say that The Undertaker still has yet to be spotted.

Kane, Mankind and Paul Bearer show up. Bearer states that The Undertaker does not want to wrestle his brother Kane because he wants to stay in one piece for SummerSlam. He calls The Undertaker nothing but a coward, and says "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is at the wrong place at the wrong time as Kane and Mankind will finish what they started on Raw last week, and this time, The Undertaker won't be there to help him. Suddenly, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), and Road Dogg tells them that since they're so confident tonight, they surely won't have any problem accepting a challenge from them for tomorrow night on Raw. They don't get an answer right away, and Gunn decides to speed up the process by starting a fight with Kane and Mankind. Referees and officials quickly rush in for the pull-apart as both teams brawl.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) beat L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) after Skull and 8-Ball switch places on an unsuspecting Animal.

WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up with Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter. Vince says the fans are just as upset as he is about The Undertaker not being able to perform in the ring tonight, and asks the fans not to blame him if The Undertaker does not show up, and instead to blame "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for nearly decapitating him with a chair last week. As big screen TV's are brought out to ringside, Vince reiterates what has happened recently between Austin and The Undertaker, and again tells the fans not to blame him, but to blame Austin in case The Undertaker fails to show. Vince reminds the fans that the card of every WWF program is subject to change, and that he reserves the right to order a suitable substitution. Vince then introduces that substitution: The Brooklyn Brawler, who is better known for being an enhancement talent who constantly loses than for being a bonafide star. The Brawler wildly thanks everyone in the ring for giving him the opportunity to tag with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Owen Hart beats "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock in a Dungeon Match with Dan "The Beast" Severn as special guest referee after Shamrock accidentally kicks Severn in the head, allowing Owen to hit Shamrock in the back of the head with a barbell. When Severn comes to, Owen smacks Shamrock's hand on the floor, and Severn sees this as a tap-out by Shamrock.

Before the next match, members of The Nation (D'Lo Brown, "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) and D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are ejected from ringside by referees and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter.

"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and "The Rock" Rocky Maivia wrestle to a 30-minute time limit draw in a two-out-of-three falls match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Before the first fall, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry hits Triple H with a splash, and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn rushes in to attack Mark Henry in retaliation. (Both men are re-ejected by referees after this.) Chyna also distracts the referee, allowing The Rock to hit Triple H with the Intercontinental title, which Triple H is able to kick out of. At another point before the first fall, "The Godfather' Kama Mustafa tries to get involved, but The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) catch up to him and force him to slowly retreat to the back. D'Lo Brown then gets in the ring, but Triple H crotches D'Lo Brown on the top rope and hits him with the European Championship. This distraction allows The Rock - whom the referee is holding back - to hit Triple H with the Rock Bottom and get the first fall. Triple H almost scores the second fall after X-Pac runs through the crowd and into the ring as Chyna distracts the referee. After this, Chyna continues to distract the referee, allowing Triple H to grab a steel chair, but when he swings for The Rock, The Rock sees it coming and manages to get the chair into his hands, but when he swings the chair, he accidentally hits the referee in the back instead of Triple H. Chyna then gets in the ring and hits The Rock with a low blow before nailing The Rock with a DDT on the steel chair, which she then proceeds to remove for the ring, allowing Triple H to get the second fall. Triple H almost gets the third fall, but fails to get it when the referee is replaced at that point by Earl Hebner. Neither man gets a fall in the last two minutes of the match, even though Triple H hits the Pedigree in the final moments of the match, and The Rock retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship. After the amtch, D'Lo, The Godfather and Mark Henry attack Triple H, but X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws run back into the ring to fight them off.

It is announced that The Undertaker has arrived to the arena during the previous match.

We see exclusive footage of "The Rock" Rocky Maivia and D'Lo Brown on their way out to the arena. The Rock brags about hitting Triple H with the Rock Bottom and retaining the WWF Intercontinental Championship. He tells Triple H that if he wants to go for the Intercontinental Championship one more time, he can scratch that itch, because he will make him famous.

Dustin Runnels is seen in the ring, asking everyone to bow their heads in prayer with hi. Dustin Runnels asks the Lord to forgive them for witnessing the bikini contest between Sable and Jacqueline, and turn them away from sin. Dustin also goes on to say that the Messiah is coming very soon and that everyone should be getting ready for him.

Sable, Jacqueline and "Marvelous" Marc Mero show up for the bikini contest, hosted by Jerry "The King" Lawler. Jacqueline is seen wearing a boxer's robe, and is about to take it off when Sable shows up in a slightly torn, oversized "Sable Bomb" T-shirt. Jacqueline removes the robe to reveal a very revealing once piece, and one of her nipples pops out (which Jacqueline quickly and casually covers up). Before shows her bikini, but is seen wearing the same top she took off for Lawler in the dressing room at the beginning of the show. She says that WWF owner Vince McMahon called her into his office concerning the bikini contest, and asked that she wear something a little more conservative. The She then goes to say that while this is Vince's idea of "conservative," it's not hers, and says the fans are not tuned in to see something "conservative." Sable says that after hear what ideas Vince had, she had ideas of her own, and says that this is a WWF pay-per-view and live television and that there isn't a thing Vince can do about "this." "This" ends up being Sable removing her top to show her bare breasts with two black hands painted on top of them. Lawler is amazed, and Mero wants Sable to cover it up. Mero even goes so far as to try to do it himself, but ends up getting slapped by Sable. Sable ends up winning the bikini contest by popular vote, but Vince shows up and takes off his coat. He makes Sable put it on, and they both leave the ring.

We see exclusive footage of Jacqueline confronting Sable in her dressing room. Officials have to make Jacqueline leave.

Before the next match, The Undertaker leaves the ring and stares down with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, but this draws Kane and Mankind out of the ring and starts the match early.

Despite apprehension from both men, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Undertaker beat Kane and Mankind to become the WWF Tag Team Champions! After the match, The Undertaker leaves with both belts.
