Show notes
Hunter Hearst-Helmsley is finally crowned the King of the Ring! He defeated Mankind in a classic Finals match..this is shortly after Mankind's "Mrs Foleys Little Boy" series of tell-all interviews with Jim Ross.
Mankind starts his night with a very entertaining match against Jerry Lawler.
HHH starts his night with Ahmed Johnson, in a serviceable match that starts Ahmed's descent.
Steve Austin faces his tag partner  (and fellow tag champion) Shawn Michaels in a classic - right before Michaels walks out on the company and abandons a championship for the 2nd time of 1997.
Bret Hart challenges any 5 Americans to the next PPV in Calgary.
Farooq battles Undertaker in the Main Event for the Championship.
Great PPV!
