Vince McMahon announces that we will not get Kama vs. Undertaker today thanks to the injury to Undertaker. 

Henry Godwinn vs. Tim Knox

Don't worry, Tim Knox isn't injured. This is your typical Godwinn squash ended with the Slop Drop. The noteworthy moment is Hunter Hearst Helmsley having someone come out and steal the slop bucket. After the match, Godwinn is upset. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

We go to Dok Hendrix for the Slam Jam. British Bulldog says that he's going to be the new WWF Champion tomorrow. Marty Jannetty then cuts a terrible promo on Goldust. He's just so happy to be back. 

Hakushi vs. Dean Douglas

It doesn't take long for Skip, Sunny and Rad Radford to come out to watch. Hakushi handles Dean in the early going, hitting the leaping splash in the corner. Dean bores us to sleep with his offense. Hakushi comes back and hits the elbow in the corner. He drags Dean into the corner and does a springboard splash, but Dean gets his knees up. Dean kicks him in the ribs and hits the Perfect Plex for the victory. This was quicker than I expected. 

Match Rating: *

Fatu vs. Terry Richards

Fatu is making a difference, that's for sure. We hear from Helmsley with his terrible fake accent. Fatu hits the top rope splash for the easy win. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

They are really milking this 6 man tag from Raw, as they show the majority of the match again here. 

It's time for the big interview with Diesel. He's taking Bulldog to obedience school. Get it? 

This Monday, it's a 20 man battle royal to take on the Intercontinental Champion. 

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Joe Deegan

Lots of Helmsley this week. He sprays Fatu with his perfume bottle backstage on his way to the ring. We get a weird commercial break where Vince is talking and it just kind of cuts out. Helmsley hits the Pedigree and that's all. You would have thought Godwinn would have made an appearance here. 

Match Rating: 1/4*

We go back to Dok one more time. Don't forget about Shawn Michaels vs. Dean Douglas. It's definitely happening. 

They run down the In Your House card one more time and we hear from Goldust again, who quotes Jaws. 

This was not a strong episode at all here today. It's the end of the cycle and it felt like it. Dean Douglas continues to flounder in his opportunity here and it's no wonder that they'll be moving on soon. This In Your House doesn't feel to have much hype to it other than them allowing Bulldog to beat Diesel in the tag match. We shall see how that turns out. 

Overall Rating: 26%
