The Nation clears the ring leaving Shamrock lying in pieces of wood. Doctors and referees run out to a knocked out Shamrock.
Vince: King, why in the hell did Jeff Jarrett do that? I know that Shamrock defeated Jarrett last week on Raw but he cant be holding a grudge?
King: Whats fair is fair McMahon. Shamrock was going to break Faarooqs ankle and all Jarrett done was prevent that from happening. It was a wrestler looking out for his work buddies
Vince: Doctors are now helping Shamrock leave the ring and Im pretty sure that even Shamrock dose not quite know what just happened a few moments ago. In any event ladies and gentleman lets take you back to last Monday night on Raw, It was Hawk from the legion of Doom taking on Owen Hart and near the finish of the match The British Bulldog would hit Hawk with a low blow giving Hart the victory but my question is where was Hawks partner, Animal? Backstage now is Jim Ross with the Legion of Doom
Backstage Interview:
Jim Ross:
Thank you Vince and I am here with Animal and Hawk of Legion of doom and indeed Animal that question has been going over in all our minds, Why didnt you assist your partner Hawk after he was double teamed by Owen Hart and The Bulldog?
Animal:
I thought he had the match won. I was watching backstage and after he hit a few nice moves I was certain he would win so I packed up and left, But Hawk knows that if I had watched the match until the finish then I would have ran out and helped by buddy
Hawk:
You see Ross, thats a perfect reply to a perfect question. I know for a fact that Animal didnt sit back there and watch me get beat down. He left because he thought I would win. Tonight though were back together and were going for our fifth Tag Team Championship so Owen Hart and British Bulldog, you better say your hail Marys because The Legion of Doom is an unstoppable force ready to kick some ass!!

Winners & Still WWF Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart & British Bulldog (18:44)
Hawk is rolling round in pain. Animal enters the ring and gets down beside him. Why did Animal just stand on the outside and watch the destruction of Hawk?
Vince: What an outstanding match but King, Why did Animal not help Hawk in the end? He just stood outside watching. If Animal had got involved in that finish we would have new Tag Team Champions. It seems to me like Animal just does not care anymore
King: Ill admit McMahon, Animal couldve stepped in and helped but my guess is, he thought Hawk had it won, just like on Raw. Obviously Hawk has let everybody down again, Its Hawk who does not care about the Tag Team Championship simple as that
Vince: I dont know King. Hawk is leaving the ring with Animal as we speak and Im pretty sure Hawk didnt realise that Animal was standing here in front of us watching but he will look back at the match at some point and realise that his tag team partner left him standing once again

Winner: The Undertaker (16:00)

Undertaker exits the ring. He looks into the coffin once more. He then begins pushing it towards the backstage area.
King: Undertaker I believe for the first time in his career is mourning. I think Paul Bearer might actually be gone. What did Ahmed Johnson do to Paul Bearer?

The only real thing that happened was The Undertaker fulfilling his promise and defeated the powerhouse Ahmed Johnson in a war

Pillman returned a few weeks back looking to ignite a tag team with Austin but Stone Cold refused and hit his former buddy with a stunner leading to this match here tonight
