You might be shocked to learn that Steve Austin vs. Triple H was a snore of an opener at In Your House: Buried Alive. The show, named after one of The Undertaker's trademark matches and thus belonging to him, was surely relying on that match setting the tone. Aside from a decent finishing stretch, it didn't.

In fact, the pay-per-view never really got going until 'Taker and Mick Foley rolled around in the dirt and battered one another with shovels, so why is it here? Simply put, they had probably the greatest 'Buried Alive' match ever, and managed to top their prior excellence at King Of The Ring and SummerSlam.

This, on a card missing WWF Champ Shawn Michaels, was an absolute cracker.

There's a little enjoyment to be derived from Marc Mero vs. Goldust, and Owen Hart & The Bulldog vs. The Smoking Gunns. Other than that, concentrate on the main event. It's one of the best in 1996, and one of the finest brawls of the decade.

Best Match: The Undertaker vs. Mankind.

Worst Match: Triple H vs. Steve Austin.
