In Your House 27 : St Valentines Day Massacre Review

In Your House 27 : St Valentines Day Massacre Review


Goldust vs Bluedust
Bluedust is also known as the Blue Meanie . I think it was pretty obvious that this one wasn't going to be a technical classic . I'm surprised the Meanie performed a moonsault . This was really short and pretty awful as Goldust picks up the win . DUD



Al Snow vs Bob Holly
This was for the vacant Hardcore title , and it wasn't the last time these two would face each other in this kind of match , as they would have another two months later at Backlash . These guys went all the way outside and even over to the Mississippi River . Both guys went right in the water . Quite unique . Entertaining match anyway . Holly picks up the win . **1/4



Big Boss Man vs Mideon
This should be fun . Ah , if only sarcasm could come across on this thing . The crowd had a 'boring' chant going on during the contest . The bout really dragged on . Ended really abruptly too , as Boss Man hits his finish to end it . Well this sucked . DUD



Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett vs Mark Henry & D-Lo Brown
Strange how it took another 14 years for Mark Henry to really reach his peak . Tag titles are on the line . The match was solid , but it was Owen that made it that way . Finish was quite hot . Henry submits to the figure four to give the champs the win . **1/4



Ken Shamrock vs Val Venis
Billy Gunn was the guest referee in this match for the IC Title . Venis had pissed off Shamrock by basically screwing his sister . Apparently no ref wanted to officiate this match , so that's why Gunn took the job . The bout started off well , but it dragged a little in the middle . Boring even . Venis rolls up Shamrock for the win . *3/4



Triple H & X-Pac vs Kane & Chyna
So after this , Chyna joined X-Pac and HHH , and then HHH and Chyna betray X-Pac , who would go on to tag with Kane . Well I guess that's the attitude era for you . This one was much more entertaining than I thought it was gonna be and the crowd was really into it . Great pace . Chyna and Kane pick up the win . ***1/2




The Rock vs Mankind : Last Man Standing
I might be mistaken , but I think this might have been the first LMS match that the WWE ever had , at least on PPV anyway . I'd probably put this as one of the better LMS matches in WWE's history , even though it does have the annoying double count out finish that most LMS's have . The DDT on the table was pretty cool . Great match . ***3/4




Stone Cold vs Vince McMahon : Steel Cage
At the time , this was a highly anticipated matchup . This was barely a cage match , but it was a fun brawl . Vince flying through the announce table was an awesome sight to see . This also had the debut of Paul Wight , also known as the Big Show . Austin managed to win as Paul threw him at the cage and it opened up . **1/2



5.5/10 . The Last Man Standing match and the mixed tag match just barely saved this show . The debut of Paul Wight and the entertaining cage match helps it as well . But there was a lot of nothing and a couple of DUDs .
