Ultimate Warrior hits a flying shoulder tackle. The Gorilla press
drop and running splash finish the match.
WINNER: THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR
This was a squash match to re-establish Warrior for
Ihis return to PPV after 3 ½ years.– [SQUASH] match but personally
3/10 for the reaction from the crowd. It also lasted longer than I
remembered, even if most of it was crowd work and entrances for the
match. The post match added a bit to just swing the score up for a
squash match.
After the match, Todd Pettingel introduces Marc Mero to
the WWF fans. Hunter Hearst Helmsley attacks Mero during the
interview and they brawl on the floor.
