COMMENTS: BEST SHOW EVER SINCE TYSON WENT DX from March 1998. Marlena's angle with her pregnancy is stupid. I wonder if Shawn is ok.On Nitro they alerady said that Mankind won the title during Nitro and spoiled it for everybody who watched that part and Shivane said to stick around and watch Nitro's main event whic lasted about 5 seconds. Anyways this show is still awesome and gets an A+ and is eemed like a live RAW.
