Mankind is in the boiler room, but nothing is boiling here. As a matter of fact, it is freezing, and quite possibly the coldest one he has ever been in to the point that when he enters tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match, he will shove one of his frostbitten feet down someone's front teeth. There are three things not to expect: disqualifications, count-outs and friendships, as the first two don't count and the third one has not worked out for him. He says that London Arena will soon become a national landmark, as it will be the place where Mankind conquered all.
The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) beats L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Droz) with a schoolboy pin from Mosh to Droz after Droz pushes Animal out of the ring. Animal and Droz go at it after the match, and referees have to pull both men apart.
Michael Cole interviews The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. The Undertaker asks Cole if he is a religious man, and suggests that he pray for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He tells Austin to take a long look, as he gets a chance to walk into the realm of darkness and walk out again after he tried to publicly humiliate him and Bearer. He says that asylum is still waiting on the ambulance, but it will not get there. Austin will pay for his sins tonight, and he will publicly put him on display and humiliate him before he turns him loose to the hounds of Hell that are baying for his rotting soul.
Before the next match, Val Venis says that the Tower of London and "The Big Valbowski" have a lot in common: they both go up and down and they both house the crown jewels.
Val Venis beats Goldust after pulling referee Earl Hebner in front of him to stop the Shattered Dreams and gets Goldust in a schoolboy pin. After the match, Goldust drops Venis on the back of his head, then sets him up for the Shattered Dreams and hits it.
We see footage from this past Thursday of WWF co-owner Vince McMahon speaking to the Oxford Union.
WWF co-owners Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco show up. Pat Patterson announces that the line-up of matches has been changed to please the fans. Tonight, The Rock will meet his toughest opponent tonight, and instead of "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley - who will be facing Jeff Jarrett - he will face X-Pac. Gerald Brisco says that Vince has loaded the night with great surprises for those watching at home on Sky Box Office and those in the arena, and they have one special surprise for everyone: British football player Vinnie Jones. Shane talks about Vinnie Jones, who has been dubbed a "hard man," and admits he did know what the term meant until last night when he was at a pub where George Michael's interview from last night was on the television. He comes to the conclusion that Vinnie Jones is George Michael's boyfriend, and that this is what "hard man" means. He knows that Jones is in the back, and asks "whose barrel was locked, whose was stocked, and whose barrel was smokin'." He says that Vinnie Jones is a great representative of the people of Great Britain. Vince - who is holding a cup of tea and a saucer - calls tea time "a pile of pious crap" and tosses the cup and saucer away (which can be heard breaking). He says the English have convinced themselves that they are the greatest nation on Earth, as well as the most dignified and civilized on the planet, then says the rest of the world does not agree with that and that history will prove they are the most barbaric, vile, smarmy sloths on the face of the Earth. However, he can understand why they would hold on to their ancient history "when they used to be somebody" and hold on to tea time, but the Roman Empire crumbled long ago, with the exception of the Falkland Islands that they fought so hard to keep. He then says the fans wish they were not British, because deep down "in their little black hearts," they all wish they were American. They are not, and he is, and America will do what it has always done to Great Britain: take what it wants, when it wants it, and when they're done taking, there will be something left as Americans are not greedy people. Whatever is left, however, will unquestionably be gobbled up by the French and the Germans. As for what Great Britain will be in the future, it will simply be a cesspool of decay, decadence and debauchery, and that cesspool will most likely be governed by a Prime Minister "of Pakistani extraction." The foursome then leave.
Before the next match, Tiger Ali Singh declares tonight to be "very meaningful," and dedicates the next match to all his forefathers from India who suffered under the oppression and tyranny of the British Empire. He says he will rule his opponent tonight.
Tiger Ali Singh beats Edge after using the ropes for leverage during the pinfall. After the match, Singh and Edge brawl, and Edge comes out on top.
Michael Cole interviews Vinnie Jones in the ring. Jones says he will knock WWF co-owner Vince McMahon out when he returns backstage. When asked if he will mix it up if provoked later tonight, Jones says the British will mix it up with anybody. He simply says "bring it on" when asked if he ready for the Fatal 4-Way Match later tonight, and says the British will sling people like Vince out of England. He then says tonight will be emotional.
Before the next match, Jacqueline - wanting nothing to do with "Marvelous" Marc Mero - tries to beat up Mero before the match begins.
Christian and Sable beat "Marvelous" Marc Mero and Jacqueline after Christian and Mero brawl to the back and Mero and Jacqueline fail to get along due to Mero dropping Jacqueline as a valet. After the match, Jacqueline gets on top of referee Tim White and proceeds to pummel him, but Sable rips off Jacqueline's shirt to reveal that she has absolutely nothing underneath on, much to the pleasure of the crowd.
Kane is seen backstage.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman with the ankle lock after The Big Boss Man smacks his nightstick into the knee of Blackman in response to being hit with a baseball slide. The Big Boss Man attacks Blackman after the match.
Michael Cole interviews The Rock, who says that there was no reason "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley was taking him on for the WWF Championship after reading his corporate e-mail, and tonight, he will beat X-Pac again. He then quotes Hollywood Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart before pulling out his own "If you smell what The Rock is cookin'" line.
"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Jeff Jarrett. During the match, Debra McMichael tries to distract Triple H so that Jarrett can hit him in the back of the head with a steel chair, but Chyna takes the chair away from Jarrett and Triple H is able to hit the Pedigree for the win.
Michael Cole interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who doesn't care what surprises are in store for the Fatal 4-Way Match as three men will get their asses whipped. He says that him teaming with Kane last week does not mean anything, and that it is every man for himself. As for The Undertaker and Paul Bearer trying to find revenge, they're going to find an ass whupping.
We see footage from earlier this weekend of D'Lo Brown in London.
The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Nation (D'Lo Brown and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry).
The Rock retains the WWF Championship against X-Pac by disqualification. During the match, The Rock tries to get out of the match, but "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna show up and keep him from heading to the back, and X-Pac brings The Rock back into the ring. Later on, Chyna hits The Rock with a low blow as Triple H distracts referee Earl Hebner, but The Rock kicks out. Later still, The Rock whips X-Pac into Hebner, and The Rock tries to hit X-Pac with the WWF Championship only for Triple H to hit The Rock with the European Championship. The Rock kicks out even after this, and The Rock gets X-Pac disqualified by shoving Chyna, causing Triple H to hit him from disqualification. After the match, Triple H and X-Pac beat the crap out of The Rock as he declares that he is still WWF Champion. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock gets in the ring as referees try to restore order, but Triple H knocks him out of the ring.
Before the next match, it is announced that WWF co-owner Shane McMahon is special guest ring announcer. Shane then announces that Pat Patterson is special guest timekeeper, that Gerald Brisco is the special guest referee, that WWF co-owner and chairman Vince McMahon is special guest commentator, and that The Big Boss Man is "special corporate enforcer." Vinnie Jones shows up as another special guest enforcer. He and The Big Boss Man stare down, then Vinnie Jones pushes him out of the ring. Gerald Brisco then pulls a red card on Vinnie Jones, and ejects him from the match.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats The Undertaker, Kane and Mankind in a Fatal 4-Way Match. Special guest referee Gerald Brisco is taken out by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after Austin hits Kane with a Stone Cold Stunner only to not count the pinfall. Referee Earl Hebner rushes in and makes the winning pinfall after Austin hits Kane with another Stunner. After the match, The Big Boss Man checks on Brisco, then Vinnie shows up and kicks Boss Man in the gut to allow for a Stone Cold Stunner on The Big Boss Man, then Earl Hebner kicks The Big Boss Man out of the ring and flips him off Steve Austin-style. Jones, Austin and Hebner then drink a beer together and celebrate to end the show, then Austin heads back to the ring to celebrate some more.
