COMMENTS:Looks like there's gonna be a feud between Al Snow and Ken Shamrock.This is the first time a DX guy has been in a main event for a while. Should the Light Heavyweight belt be a fluke belt or a rookie belt? I mean at first the belt started out with a great champ who held the belt for 10 months(the last guy to at least hold the belt for that long was Diesel when Bret Hart ended his one year reign in November 1995.Then after holding the belt for 10 months against other great superstars like Pantera,Aguila and Kaeintai guys he loses the belt to Christian in his firs match and instead of the WWF giving Christian a reasonable reign he loses the belt in a month in a fluke(Or upset) to the worst jobber ever in his second match! Well, Gill will probably lose the belt within a month if the Job Squad doesn't interfere.I can't believe Steve Austin went through with that.Oh No, Shawn souled Out, and I hope he makes his return to wrestling soon.The show was awesome and gets an A. C ya next week.
