Gunn desperatly wanted this match, after defeating Shamrock in a non-title clash several weeks earlier. Shamrock was just as zealous for combat, as a result of an incident in which his sister was "mooned" by Gunn.
To no mans surprise, this one was an all-out brawl. Gunn took command of the contest with a vicious clothesline and masterful vertical suplex. Shamrock responded by propping up his foe in a sitting position and kicking him in the face and neck. Gunn draped a knee over the back of Shamrock's neck and drove his face into the canvas. On the arena floor, Shamrock cracked his opponent's face into the ring post, ring steps, and a metal folding chair. Gunn dove off the ring apron, holding the back off his opponent's head as it plummented into the announcers table.
As the pair tussled between the ropes, The Worlds Most Dangerous Man inadvertantly clotheslined the referee. While the arbiter was indisposed, Val Venis injected himself into the action, DDTing Shamrock, but it wasn't enough to put Shamrock away. When Gunn tried an axe-handle from the top-rope, he twisted his ankle on the way down, allowing The Intercontental Champion to get behind his foe and force him to "tap-out" with an ankle-lock.
