Owen Hart was desperately in need of a win since turning babyface and losing the support of his entire family in storylines in the process the prior November.

D-Generation X were the architects of his on-screen collapse following November's Montreal Screwjob, but the "nugget" tag they'd given him had stuck worse than a winnet itself, and Triple H gleefully took on the programme as if Owen was Shawn Michaels' sloppy seconds.

Sgt Slaughter was just another fallen hero in the face of far smarter heels Hunter and Chyna - his presence as ringside enforcer was undone by the 'Ninth Wonder Of The World' chucking powder in his face. Hart was no match for the nutshot that followed as DX won yet another battle in something that could barely be considered a war.
