Is this cheating? We don't think so. The word 'Cold' gives it away: this show was named after 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and it fit nicely in with The Hart Foundation's plan to ruin his chances of becoming WWF Champion against The Undertaker (it'd be 'A Cold Day In Hell' when Bret Hart let that happen, basically).

The actual match itself was solid, albeit a little slow. Austin and 'Taker have never especially gelled during their straight-up singles matches, for whatever reason, and they were blown out of the water in terms of excitement by Ken Shamrock and Vader.

Nobody could have predicted that.

Those guys worked a super-stiff sub-main event that had them punching one another full force at times, and it had a nice clean finish that made Shamrock look like the man. It wasn't terribly pretty, but it was something different.

Best Match: Ken Shamrock vs. Vader.

Worst Match: Triple H vs. Flash Funk
