It looks like the bookers have acknowledged they were tooi hasty in moving him to the commentary desk. The match itself was Savage working around <strong>Sid's</strong> shortcomings - but with an electric crowd - the match really came alive.<p> </p><p> The match of the night leaves audiences split - as it did last year between the <strong>Hart Brothers</strong> and <strong>Shawn Michaels</strong>. Bret won decisively ending his feud with Owen - while Shawn defeated Piper in a seemingly passing of the torch match. Fans were praising both these matches - with discussion between fans over who would be the biggest star going into the new Millennium - Bret, Owen or Shawn.</p><p> </p><p> In the other featured feud - The Undertaker defeated Lex Luger - the match was OK - but completely overshadowed by other bouts. - Although Luger's heel run seems to be running on fumes - failing yet again to get the big win. Hard to say his run at the top of WWF hasn't been a flop - I wonder if he'd rather be back in Atlanta.</p><p> </p><p> The tradition of Wreslemania continues with the babyfaces coming out on top - with Shawn Michaels being the only bad guy to pick up a win. - This means that <strong>123 Kid</strong>, <strong>Alundra Blayze</strong>, <strong>Razor Ramon</strong> and the <strong>Steiner Brothers</strong> joining Randy Savage in holding gold. - How long can the faces hold the belts? </p><p> </p><p> Diesel and Mabel also picked up singles wins - suggesting that those two big men are set to be featured players in 1995. </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/AtOEyaK.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Bapwlqu.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/1Bv7apL.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/A1NIeU3.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/CvAIdqA.jpg</span><p> <img alt="QjBQK0q.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QjBQK0q.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span>http://i.imgur.com/r1R5UZG.jpg</span><img alt="raNu2IF.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/raNu2IF.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="sjDEEKQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sjDEEKQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wXQYfCV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wXQYfCV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span>http://i.imgur.com/rjHzcl0.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>WWF World Heavyweight / Intercontinental Championship / WWF Tag Team Championship / WWF Women's Championship / WWF Light Heavyweight Championship</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> WWF Heavyweight Champion: Randy Savage (Third Reign - Won Wrestlemania XI - 2/4/95)</p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Razor Ramon (Second Reign - Won Summerslam 94 - 28/8/94)</p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions : The Steiner Brothers (Rick & Scott Steiner) (Third Reign - Won Wrestlemania XI 2/4/95)</p><p> WWF Women's Champion: Alundra Blayze (Second Reign - Won Wrestlemania XI - 2/4/95)</p><p> WWF Light Heavyweight Champion: 123 Kid (First Reign - Won In Your House IV - 18/12/94)</p>

Owen hits a huge northern lights suplex and heads to the top - but misses with a moonsault. - Bret then takes over control - hitting a russian legsweep, forearm from the middle rope, backbreaker and Sharpshooter.
