Much like the darker, more violent tones of the Boiler Room Brawl, the main event of In Your House: Final Four was a departure from regular WWF fare of 1996-97. Ramping up the violence and letting Undertaker, Vader, Steve Austin, and Bret Hart go all out, the four-way elimination match was a revelation for a company seeking direction.

This was yet another coming out party for Austin, who was rapidly proving his worth as a main event star. By the same token, The Undertaker proved that a decision to increase the tempo of his matches was paying dividends. It'd be a challenge to find a better multi-man match than this in '97, because it even topped the Royal Rumble.

Using blood, weapons and a frenzied pace, the quartet produced big time right before WrestleMania 13 and introduced a new brawling style to WWF main events which would later become the norm. Undertaker was very much a part of this change, brawling like a champ and putting in quite the shift.
