Now, let me just say that I'm doing this different than before due to the nature of the scenerio. I'll be back to my normal format with the next Edition, inVasion.

This week's scenerio: It's late March of 1996, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have just commited to signing with WWF instead of leaving for WCW. Shawn Michaels is set to become WWF Champion in a few days at Wrestlemania which gives Bret Hart some much needed time off. However, just days before the big event, Shawn Michaels and other Kliq member Kevin Nash are hurt in a very bad car crash. Though not life or career threatening, both are out for a minimum of 9 months, Michaels likely not to return for a full year. Can the WWF survive?
The Job: Book the WWF main event scene from Wrestlemania 12 to Wrestlemania 13. You cannot use Bret Hart until October, Diesal until November, and Michaels, in a wrestling role, until Wrestlemania 13.
Rules: You may bring in one guy, but I don't advise it because this is all about working with what you have. No PPVs may be removed. At this point, 12 PPVs a year was a relatively new frontier, and Vince would not allow you to remove any. You can change the names though, as I will do.
Step One: Who are you building the Main Event around?
My Main Event Players:
The Undertaker
Owen Hart
Razor Ramon
British Bulldog
Vader
Diesal
HBK
Bret Hart
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two: Book Your Main Events. Wrestlemania XII
The show opens with President Gorilla Monsoon coming out and announcing the car accident and states that Shawn Michaels will be unable to compete in the event and has to, unfortunately, give up his #1 contendership spot. He stresses that though he is still alive, his career is in serious jeopardy and he may never wrestle again. He then states that the WWF has been hard at work all weekend in determining the #1 contender for Bret Hart's title and the title will still be defended. He also stresses that Bret Hart was informed of the desicion as soon as it was made, in the intrest of fairness. During the event, announcers speculate as to who it could possibly be. They constantly state that the Undertaker is without an opponent as well, due to the car crash which also involved Diesal, and he seems the most likely candidate for the title. It is also worthy to note that earlier in the night, Owen Hart walked out on Camp Cornette during their match. Now, the time for the main event has come and after Bret Hart's entrance, Monsoon makes his way out and states that in his mind, there is only one man who can give the fans the show they deserve. He hints heavily at the Undertaker, but then says that he had his chance at the Royal Rumble and he's not getting another. He says the man was close to taking the spot off Michaels at In Your House, he is a man who Bret knows very, very well, and most importantly, he is a man who has changed. That man is none other than Bret's own brother, Owen.

I chose Owen because though they have met in the ring several times before, they have great chemistry, the story is there, and Owen has the chance to work as a face against his face brother. The match is as expected. Respectfully mostly, and it goes about 30 minutes and ends when Owen hits Bret with a springboard dropkick and quick, unexpected cover.

After the match is over, Bret goes to the outside of the ring and grabs the belt. He hands the belt to his brother and the two tearfully embrace. Bret gets on the mic and he says that his time as the best Hart is over and he refers to Owen as the "heir to the Hart throne". He then hands the mic to Owen. Owen says that he didn't expect this and cuts a very emotional promo about the family and respect and honor and all that mularky. He then smirks, and says that he does agree with Bret. He IS the best Hart. And just like that, he turns back heel and whacks Bret with the title. The fans go crazy with boos and Owen leaves the ring, champion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Your House: Heir to the Throne
The night after Wrestlemania, Owen Hart comes out and says that Bret is now gone from the WWF and with "those two cripples" out, no one can even compete for the title. He says he may be in a big pond, but he's a huge fish and no one is a threat. The lights then cut out and the Undertaker emerges from the back. In Undertaker slang, he says that Owen's shot last night belonged to him and there's no way he's gonna last as champion. He demands a title shot for tonight. Owen accepts and the match is set for the ME. The match ends with Owen hitting 'Taker with the belt behind the ref's back and winning. When Owen is celebrating, walking backwards into the set up, he is attacked from behind by, the only active Kliq member which should be noted, the returning Razor Ramon. The following week, Ramon cuts a promo about how the bad guy is back and at In Your House, he's taking the title from Owen. This brings out last weeks' challenger, The Undertaker, who thinks that Ramon has done nothing to earn a shot and that if anyone's getting a shot, it's him, as he was scewed the previous week. The two go back and forth, till Owen comes to the ring and says neither one of them are getting a title shot. Razor has earned nothing and he beat Taker last week. The three bicker back and fourth, then the following week, Gorilla Monsoon announces that the #1 contender for the title will be determined at In Your House: Heir to the Throne in a match between The Undertaker and Razor Ramon. However, Owen Hart is not forgetten as he will be taking on the recently face turned British Bulldog in the WWF Title match of the night. Note: Bulldog turned face after being fed up with Jim Cornette, who has left the WWF for WCW(see my previous Rebooking History). The feuds are feulded through interviews over the next two weeks.

Semi-Main Event: Razor Ramon vs. The Undertaker for the #1 contendership.
In the Ramon/Taker match, the two go all out. Each reverse eachother's finisher, several near falls, both men are extremely tired when Ramon uses all his strength to muster out a Razor's Edge. However, he sends 'Taker to the outside of the ring and falls flat on his face himself. The ref counts 'Taker out and Razor is awarded the #1 contender's spot. Moving to the Main Event, after an extremely hard fought battle by the Bulldog, he can't quite over come Hart and he is forced to tap when Owen locks in the Sharpshooter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Your House: Camp Explosion!
The night after Heir to the Throne, Razor Ramon opens the show in the ring. He says that he's the #1 contender, but when he beats Owen Hart or whoever the champion is, he wants to know that he is the best man who could take it from him. He then calls out the Undertaker and challenges him to a rematch. 'Taker obviously accepts and the match is made for the next In Your House. Later on in the show, Bulldog and Owen are having another confrontation. Bulldog says that Owen got lucky when he locked in the Sharpshooter. Bulldog then says he wants another match, but just as Owen is about the respond, they are interupted by Vader! He runs out and attacks Bulldog intially and as he goes after Owen, Owen gets out of the way and scoots out of the ring. The following week, Vader debuts his new manager, Ted Dibiasi. Dibiasi states that he has the monster under control and that he's next in line for a shot at the Title. He talks about Bulldog as well and a triple threat match is hinted at. That Triple Match is booked for the next In Your House in what's being called the explosion of Camp Cornette. The three men face off in singles matches against each other over the next weeks, and 'Taker and Ramon, though they respect eachother, take eachother out on consecutive nights, until, the week before the PPV, Monsoon informs them that if they touch eachother before the bell rings on their match, they will both never get a shot while Owen is champion.
Main Event: Owen Hart (c) vs. Vader vs. British Buldog for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship
Semi-Main Event: Razor Ramon vs. the Undertaker II for the #1 contendership.
The Ramon/'Taker match goes back and fourth nearly the entire time. The match is better than their first, this time both kick out of eachother's finishers, though both semi-early in the match so the moves don't look weak. After Taker's irish whips Ramon into the ropes, about 20 minutes in, Razor counters and hits a closeline on 'Taker, sending him outside the ring. Because of the wear and tear, Ramon is down as well. History looks to be repeating itself when the ref gets to 9, until Ramon uses all his strength and flings himself outside the ring, breaking the count. Once they got in the ring, after fightong for a couple minutes, 'Taker hit a tombstone piledriver, finishing the match and giving Taker a title shot. In the main event, all three men go at it with eachother, most of the time, with all three fighting, not just different 1 one 1 fights. However, about 15 minutes in, Owen is tossed to the outside and it leaves just Bulldog and Vader. After a minutes or so, Vader gains the advantage and sets up a Vaderbomb to finish him off. He hits the huge Powerbomb and Hart rushes back into the ring. He runs, and springboards back off the ropes and hits the dropkick that he beat his brother with at Wrestlemania. This makes Vader fall to the floor outside the ring and Owen quickly covers Bulldog, who's still down from the Vaderbomb.

In the PPV Postshow, Gorilla Monsoon announces that The Undertaker is the #1 contender and will get his shot at the title, but it will be at King of the Ring, not In Your House, because a match of that magnitude must be at one of their grandest stages. However, the two will have a chance to get their hands on eachother next month, when they will have their choice for tag team partners and will face eachother in a Tag Team main event.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In Your House: Tag Warfare
The RAW following Camp Explosion, the show opens with Owen Hart talking about how no matter what the Undertaker tries, he's not afraid. He's beaten bigger and badder and the Undertaker means nothing to him. And he certainly not afraid of whoever he wants to tag with. Just as Owen is about to say something else, the lights in the arena begin to flicker and Owen looks shook. He sets the mic down and begins to walk back up the ramp. Mind games like this take place throughout the night whenever Owen's around. 'Taker never makes an apperence though. Then, at the end of the night, Owen is in the ring and says he's tired of playing games and calls out 'Taker. The lights go out and when they come back on, 'Taker is in the ring and takes Owen down with a quick right hand, but before it gets and worse, Owen scoots out of the ring. The show fades with Taker rolling his eyes in the back of his head. The next week, Owen is in the ring again and says that he's still not afraid. This brings out the Undertaker yet again. He walks slowly down to the ring and Owen gets in his face. Owen claims he has his partner and 'Taker'll find out by the end of the night who it is. The end of the night comes and the main event is The Undertaker vs. Mankind. The match is barely underway when from the back comes the Million Dollar Man and his monster, Vader. Vader decimates 'Taker, which brings out Owen Hart who shakes hands with Ted Dibiasi, and says he's bought the best tag team partner money can buy. Owen orders Vader to hit a Vaderbomb but before he can, Razor Ramon comes from the back with a chair and clears the ring. Next week, Razor says that he may not be #1 contender, but he still wants the belt off Owen and 'Taker wants to get it, he needs back up. He says he wants to be 'Taker's partner. Taker comes out and gets on one knee and does that Taker kneel thing he always does, accepting.
Main Event: Undertaker and Razor Ramon vs. Owen Hart and Vader
First, let me say that I know that both teams faced eachother at the last PPV, but Vader is like a hired gun, controlled by his manager, and Razor and 'Taker have mutual respect. Anyway, in this match, Owen doesn't get in the ring much. He mainly just let's Vader do all the work. That is, until Owen get frustrated with Vader for getting somewhat hurt. He goes to the outside of the ring and yells at Dibiasi and the two get in a confrontation, with Owen slapping Ted across the face. Ted instructs Vader to leave the ring, which he does, but not before getting in a few more shots on the Undertaker, including a huge lariet. Razor manages to tag himself in and it's him and Owen in the ring, both pretty fresh. They wrestle back and fourth, then Razor gets a pretty big advantage. He goes for a Razor's Edge, but Owen slides off his back and takes him out at the legs. He locks in the Sharpshooter. Razor is close to tapping until 'Taker runs in and boots Owen in the head. This stuns Owen, giving 'Taker time to drag Razor over and get the tag in. He looks down at Owen and the two go fist to fist. After awhile, Owen runs and goes for a crossbody but Taker catches and turns it into a Tombstone. He covers and wins the match.

King of the Ring
Over the following weeks, Owen claims that 'Taker's victory over him was a fluke. This feud is mainly just built up through promos and Taker mind games. Also, Razor Ramon announces that he will enter the KOTR tournament. He tears his way all the way to the finals, where he will face Intercontinental Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin. Nothing else really happens worth note, just building mostly.

Tourney Finals: Razor Ramon vs. Steve Austin, winner recieves title shot at Summerslam.
In the Tourney Final, throughout most of the match, Austin seems the sure winner, but he surprised with a Fall Away slam in the late goings of the match. This sets up a Razor's Edge followed up by pin and win. Razor Ramon will face whoever the champion happens to be at Summerslam. In the Main Event, the two are pretty evenly matched, with 'Taker often overpoweing Owen and Owen often being able to use his speed to an advantage. However, about 18 minutes in, Owen makes a near-fatal mistake when he goes for a crossbody. 'Taker, again, catches him, but Owen uses his momemtum against him and turns 'Taker's tombstone into one of his own. He drills 'Taker down to the mat and covers for a two count. Owen can't beleive it and is even more shocked when 'Taker sits up. 'Taker gets up and grabs the stunned Hart by the throat and lifts him up for a chokeslam. Owen, however, manages to reverse it into a Crucifix and rolls 'Taker up for the 3 count.

When the event is over, Gorillia Monsoon announces that the Main Event for the next In Your House PPV will be a double one, in which Razor Ramon and Owen Hart will handpick eachother's oppenents.
In Your House: Pick Your Poison
At RAW, Ramon and Owen are at eachother's throats. Nearly coming to blows, until Gorilla Monsoon emerges and tells them that if they touch eachother before Summerslam, Owen will be stripped of the title and Razor will not get another shot for 2 years. This leads to verbal attacks over the next week. Then, on the third week, Monsoon says they must announce who they have chosen for eachother to face at In Your House. As soon as this is made, Razor Ramon comes out and says that he made is decision and Owen Hart will face the British Bulldog at In Your House. The whole show goes by and Owen still has yet to reveal who he's chosen. Then finally at the end of the show, he calls out Razor and says that though he may have bulldog on his side, Owen Hart has requested the services of a psycho. He says that after Pick Your Poison, he won't even make it to Summerslam. Razor says that with all his talk, he still hasn't said who it is, but he can't finish when he's attacked from behind by his oppenent at In Your House, Sycho Sid!(I know he wasn't mentioned, but what's booking without some surprises.) With the two Main Events set, the main event on the last RAW is Sid vs. British Bulldog. The two can go blow for blow, but in the end Sid hits the powerbomb and pins Bulldog for the three count. He continues the attack and when Razor comes out, he gets a Big Boot and powerbomb as well. Owen comes out and the two raise hands over the fallen offense.
Co-Main Event: Owen Hart vs. British Bulldog
Co-Main Event: Razor Ramon vs. Sycho Sid
In the first of the two, Razor takes a pretty bad beating. After about 10 minutes, he is busted open and it looks bad. It appears over when 12 minutes in, Sid hits a Powerbomb. But at the last milisecond, Razor manages to get his shoulder up. Sid just gives a sick smile and picks Razor up for another Powerbomb, however, this backfires when Razor reverses it into a face buster. After this, Razor mounts a huge comeback and ends up getting Sid up for a Razor's Edge for the victory. Then, in the final match, after a very evenly matched contest, with Bulldog clearly realizing the mistakes he made in their previous meetings, he goes for a running powerslam, but Owen slips back and pushes Bulldog into the ref. This buys Owen enough time to run out and grab the title belt. With the ref blatantly looking, he whacks Davey Boy with it and is disqualified.

Summerslam
The next night, Owen says that he's smart and that he got out of his match as soon as he could, and even though Razor managed a win, he still got the beating of his life and would be no competition at Summerslam. On the undercard, Austin has been complaining about not getting a chance to shine and demands a high profile match and receieves one against Owen Hart. The two are both playing heels, and the match ends with Owen using his belt to get him DQed again. The next week, Gorilla Monsoon announces two things. Number one being that after the Summerslam PPV, he will stepping down as President of WWF. However, for his final act, he says that Owen Hart will not be allowed to DQ himself at Summerslam to retain the title. Not because it'll lose him the title, but because it'll hanging 30 feet in the air, because the title match at Summerslam will be a Ladder Match!!! This is meant with praise from Ladder Match pioneer Razor Ramon, but with distain from Owen Hart.
Main Event: Razor Ramon vs. Owen Hart(c) in a ladder match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship
This match is a classic. It includes some great spots, but is also a great wrestling match. At different points in the match, both men would have lost in a regular match, with Razor tapping to the Sharpshooter and Owen falling victim to a Razor's Edge. After 20 minutes, Razor can't get Owen up for another Razor's Edge because his legs have been worked on so much, so instead throws Owen to the outside of the ring with a Fall Away Slam. He slowly then climbs the ladder, barely making it because of his legs, as he had fallen off several times already because of the injuries, and retrieves the belt, becoming the NEW WWF World Heavyweight Champion!

After the event is over, Gorilla Monsoon comes out and congradulates Ramon on his victory. He then says that he lied about that match being his final act. He then says that immediatly following this announcement, he will step down as President. He says that he can't simply leave the WWF without a President. The new president of the WWF is
Shawn Michaels!! HBK comes out, confined to a wheel chair and Ramon walks up the ramp and the two hug and walk to the back, celebrating his victory.
In Your House: New Set of Laws
Following the shocking announcement of his return as president, The Heartbreak Kid opens the following night's show in the ring. He says that after his car crash in March, he may never be able to wrestle again. He said waking up every day and realizing that he may not be able to be in the business he loves anymore was the hardest thing in the world for him. But, there's always a silver lining and when Gorilla Monsoon approached him about the President's job, he jumped, while not actually because of his present condition, but he took it as quick as possible. He says he doesn't know if he can ever wrestle again, but you can be sure to see him on your TV screen every week. Then, Owen Hart and his new bodyguard Sid come out, he complains about Gorilla's mistakes and says that he deserves another match, because there's no way Razor can beat him one on one. Michaels said that he doesn't deserve anything and with him in charge, no one does, but as far as he can see it, there's two men who aren't tied up at the moment who are next in line for a title shot. One is infact, Owen Hart. The other, however, is his bodyguard Sid. He says that the two will face eachother in the Main Event tonight and the winner will get their title shot at In Your House. And if he feels either one didn't put up a good enough fight, they're both suspended. The two are very angry at this, but have no choice. The Main Event ends with Sid going for a chokeslam, but getting kicked in the gut by Owen, who then hits the Springboard Dropkick on Sid and then covers for the win. With the no touching rule being lifted after Monsoon stepped down, over the next weeks, Owen does everything he can to get an unfair advantage on Razor, but they are faltered by friends of Ramon, Bulldog and 'Taker, and at a later point, Razor himself. However, at one point, he does manage to make Razor tap to the sharpshooter. Going into the PPV, the two are ready to tear eachother apart, and to make things fair, President Michaels bans 'Taker, Bulldog, and Sid from the ring. He also claims he has an announcement to make after the show concludes.
Main Event: Razor Ramon(c) vs. Owen Hart for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship
This is a very technical match, with lots of mat wrestling. However, about midway through, Owen begins using fists and brawling, causing Ramon to do the same. Then, realizing that he can't out wrestle or out strike the Bad Guy, he uses his speed to an advantage and begins to pull out ahead. Owen looks ready to put Razor away when he hits a tombstone piledriver, however, instead of going for the pin, he waits for Razor to get up and goes for a springboard crossbody, but instead dives right into a desperation Fall Away slam. Razor covers, but only gets a two count, but he has taken the momentum away from Owen. The two slowly get up, and again begin to trade blows. Owen hits him a couple more punches, then runs to the ropes and springboards off looking for the dropkick, but Razor moves, Owen lands in his feet, but is kneed in the stomach by Razor, who lifts him up into a crucifix on his shoulders and falls completing the Razor's Edge and then covers, for the three count.

In the post show, Shawn Michaels says that after officially working out the details, returning to the WWF tommorow night on RAW is none other than
Bret "The Hitman" Hart!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Your House: The Best There Is...
The night following New Set of Laws, President Michaels announces that before the night is over, Bret Hart will speak for the first time since losing his title at Wrestlemania 12. He also announces that over the next three weeks, a new #1 contender will be announced made after a series of matches. The wrestler who he personally thinks performed the best in his matches will be granted a title shot. He says the first of these matches will take place tonight when The Undertaker takes on Vader, and Sid will take on British Bulldog. In the first ME, Taker pins Vader after a hard fought battle on both sides. Vader nearly won the match, but his momentum was lost when he missed the Vadersault. Vader went apeshit after the match was over, destroying everything in his path, 'Taker narrowly escapes. In the other ME, Bulldog pins Sid after a running powerslam that Sid fell into. Owen Hart comes out after that match is over. He screams about not being in the series of matches or being in contention for the #1 contendership. He calls out Shawn Michaels. Instead of Shawn Michaels, he gets his brother, Bret Hart! The crowd goes crazy for the Hitman and he grabs a mic as soon as he gets in the ring. He says that he will never forgive Owen for what he did at Wrestlemania and that after that PPV, he contemplated retiring for a long time. But then something happened that changed his mind. Owen thought he was the best around. He claims that he was now back to prove to his younger brother that Bret Hart is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! And he's gonna prove it to him at In Your House, when he faces his brother one on one. He also says that Razor Ramon or whoever the champion may be come Survivor Series better watch out, cause the Hitman is coming. Before Owen can talk, Bret walks out, and the show ends. Over the next weeks, Owen and Bret go back and fourth, and Vader is named #1 contender after winning two more matches, and costing Taker one of his. Vader then lays Ramon out and says he's the next WWF Champion, well, Ted Dibiasi says that at least.

Semi Main Event: Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
In the Hart match, Owen works the flying style he has over Bret when Bret edges him out technically, but the match ends in draw when the 20 minutes time limit runs out. Bret almost finished the match, but time just ran out. In the ME, Vader looks to be the next Champion and is ready to hit the Vader bomb, but is distracted when the ring fills with smoke. This allows Ramon to gain some momentum and after trying several times, and failing, to execute the Razor's Edge, he finally hits it from the corner, letting Vader fall with him to the ground and pins to secure the victory.

When the match is over, backstage, President Michaels announces that the Main Event for Surivivor Series will not feature a World Title Match, but will instead see Razor Ramon and Bret Hart captain a team of 4 to take on an Owen Hart team of 4 in an elimination match.
Survivior Series
The following night, the show opens with Shawn Michaels saying that Bret and Razor must find 2 more members or their team and Owen must find three before the PPV. Owen comes out and says that the first member of his team is his bodyguard, Sid. Michaels says that if there's two members of each team, why not have a tag match. The main event is set t be Bret Hart and Razor Ramon vs. Owen Hart and Sid. When the match gets under way, Razor takes most of the punishment and can't get Bret in. That is, until after being tired of being isolated, Bret snaps and grabs a chair from the outside of the ring. He nails the ref first and the bell is immediatly rung. He then clears the ring of Sid and Owen. Once Ramon gets up, he turns and helps him up, which is only followed by a chair shot to him. The show then cuts with Bret standing over a fallen Ramon with his head hung looking down at him. The show next week with Bret in the ring with a mic. He says he's gonna explain his actions from last week. He says that he's not gonna be pushed around any more. He says there's a group of guys backstage who are only looking out for themselves and their friends, he says it's Razor Ramon and the newly crowned face IC Champion, Hunter Hearst Helmsley. he then says that the worst of them all if the President of the WWF Shawn Michaels and he won't stand for it anymore. He calls out his brother Owen. He tells Owen that he may not agree with everything he's done in the past, but he knows that Owen has fell victim to the Kliq too. He then says that come Survivor Series, he won't be teaming with Razor Ramon, he's teaming with his brother, Owen, and the Kliq can find their owen team. Later on in the show, HBK and Razor say that the Harts don't know what their messing with when they rattle the Kliq's cage. Michaels says he will back whatever team Razor brings into Survivior Series down to the ring. Razor announces his first teammate as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. The next week, Bret, Owen, and Sid said they have their final member. This brings out Chris Candido(Note: I realize this may seem like some strange booking, but everything that isn't explained during this will be explained at the end, I promise. I'll just say that Chris Candido had real life problems with the Kliq and is using a no gimmick needed type gimmick since splitting with Zip.) Candido claims he's been the #1 contender for the IC Title for months, but because of the Kliq's power in the President's office, Hunter caught the title shot first. He then says that the Kliq can't dodge him anymore now that he has his time to shine in the Main Event. That same night, Razor Ramon recruits the Undertaker for his team. The week before Survivor Series, the two teams meet in the ring. Team Hart, Bret, Owen, Sid, and Candido, and Team Ramom, Ramon, Hunter, 'Taker, and Shawn Michaels. Bret makes a comment about how he doesn't know how they plan on winning with only three guys on their team, cause he doesn't know how Michaels is gonna wrestle while in a wheelchair. Michaels smiles at Bret and says that he never planned on wrestling at Survivor Series. He tells him he should have never messed with the Kliq and now he's gonna pay the price. He tells Bret to turn around and he gets nailed in the face by a big boot when the final member of Razor Ramon's team if s revealed as none other than
Diesal! Hunter, 'Taker, Ramon, and Diesal clear the ring of Team Hart and raise their hands in the middle of the ring.
Main Event: Team Hart (Bret and Owen Hart, Sid, and Chris Candido) vs. Team Kliq (Razor Ramon, Undertaker ,Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Diesal, accompanied by Shawn Michaels)
The match starts off quick, lots of brawling, truely capturing the hate the two factions have against each other. The first person eliminated is Hunter, when Candido pins him. After that, sides are made even when Sid is eliminated by Diesal. Razor hits a Razor's Edge on a battered Candido to eliminate him. So it's down to the Hart Brothers vs. 'Taker, Diesal and Razor. With Razor in the ring against Owen, 'Taker is standing on the apron when he is attacked by Vader! Vader beats the hell out of 'Taker, ramming him into the corner post before being taken out by security. 'Taker, however, is hurt bad and forced out of the match. Owen is then eliminated, but not before he scores a Piledriver on Diesal that allows him to be eliminated by Bret. The final two are Bret and Razor and after a pretty long fight, Bret ends up hitting Razor with a closed fist and scores a roll up and a victory for Team Hart.
