Attendance: 5,708

On commentary, Jim Ross told viewers of In Your House 12 that the WWF could've "sold a lot more tickets if we had a lot more room". The card took place in the modest West Palm Beach Auditorium in Florida before a crowd of 5,708 fans. That was a respectable 292 people off capacity in the 6,000-seater venue.

Not bad if you consider the size of the building, but don't be fooled by JR's bold claim. There wasn't much on the card that'd convince people to flock to West Palm Beach and plonk down their cash to be in attendance. Had the show taken place in a bigger venue, it would've looked pretty empty. Still, Ross was only doing his job by talking things up.

It's worth noting that Sycho Sid vs. Bret Hart wasn't the original main event plan either. Subtitled "It's Time", the show was supposed to be another coming out party for monster heel Vader. He didn't even appear, and focus shifted off his push onto Sid vs. Shawn Michaels at January's Royal Rumble instead.
