Over The Edge: in Your House - Event

Event

The first match that aired was the tag team encounter of L.O.D. 2000 and the Disciples of Apocalypse (D.O.A). Control of the match went back and forth between the two teams throughout, until 8-Ball attempted to switch places with Skull. Droz, who was at ringside in L.O.D's corner, interfered by clotheslining 8-Ball, leaving Skull to receive a powerslam and be pinned by Animal, thus L.O.D 2000 won the match. After that match, The Rock came out to insult the Milwaukee audience, but Faarooq came out and attacked The Rock with a steel chair, and finished off the attack with a piledriver onto the chair. Commissioner Slaughter then announced that The Rock had to compete in his match later in the event, despite any injury he may have suffered.

The next match was the encounter of Steve Blackman and Jeff Jarrett. The two superstars fought back and forth exchanging control of the match, however, Jarrett would grab one of Blackman's arnis sticks and attempted to hit Blackman with it, however, Blackman countered and retrieved the stick and hit Jarrett with it. Blackman then went to the top rope to attempt an aerial technique, but Jarrett retaliated by hitting him with the arnis stick, leading to Jarrett pinning Blackman for the win. The third match was the encounter of Marc Mero against a mystery opponent chosen by Sable, where if Sable's representative lost, she would have to leave the WWF. After Mero was introduced, Sable came out and told Mero that she did not need a man to fight for her, insisting she would fight Mero. Mero then allowed Sable to pin him, however he broke the pin at a two count and rolled Sable into a Small package, winning the match via pinfall. This forced Sable to leave the WWF.

The fourth match was a Handicap match between the team of Bradshaw and Taka Michinoku against Kaientai members Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, and Sho Funaki. This match was a "bonus" match for the event, as it was previously unannounced. Bradshaw dominated the match by squashing all Kaientai members, however Michinoku was chokeslammed and pinned by Togo, which meant that Kaientai won. The next match was an Intercontinental Championship match between Faarooq and the champion, The Rock. After Faarooq made his entrance, Howard Finkel announced The Rock's entrance; however, he did not come out and after a second announcement, Commissioner Slaughter came out and gave The Rock ten seconds to come out. If The Rock failed to come out, he would be stripped of the championship. After Slaughter counted to two, The Rock came out wearing a neck brace, from the earlier attack, and before he was able to get into the ring, Faarooq attacked The Rock in the aisle. After they entered the ring, the two wrestlers fought back and forth until Faarooq Spinebustered The Rock, and attempted to pin him, but The Rock broke the pin at a two count after he placed his foot on the bottom ring rope. As Faarooq argued with the referee, The Rock retaliated by rolling up Faarooq into a pinfall to retain the Intercontinental Championship.

The sixth match was a Mask vs. Mask match between Kane and Vader, where the loser would have to be unmasked. The two wrestlers fought back and forth throughout the match until Vader gained control after he hit Kane with a wrench; however, Kane retaliated by countering a moonsault attempt into a Tombstone Piledriver. Kane would then gain the pinfall to win the match and was able keep his mask. After the match, Kane pulled Vader's mask off, revealing his face. The next match, and final match on the undercard, was a Six-man tag team match between D-Generation X members, Triple H, Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg and Nation members, Owen Hart, Kama Mustafa, and D'Lo Brown. After back and forth action with frequent tags, DX gained control after Chyna and Mark Henry, who were at ringside and respectively were in DX and The Nation's corner, attacked one another. This caused the referee to become distracted, allowing Triple H and Gunn to deliver a Spike piledriver on Brown; however, Hart came into the ring and attacked Gunn and Triple H. Hart performed a Pedigree on Triple H, and covered him for a successful pinfall.

The main event was a WWF Championship match between Dude Love and the champion, Steve Austin, with Vince McMahon as the special guest referee. The two wrestlers fought back and forth into the beginning of the match, and took the fight to ringside, where Pat Patterson announced that the match would be contested under No Disqualification rules. The two wrestlers continue to brawl at ringside, where they took the fight into the aisle, where Patterson then announced that the match would be contested under Falls Count Anywhere rules, where afterwards Austin and Love continued to brawl all over the arena. As the fight returned to the ring, Patterson handed Love a steel chair, which Love and Austin used to attack each other, however, Dude Love accidentally hit McMahon with the steel chair. Austin then delivered a Stone Cold Stunner on Love, and a second referee attempted to count Austin's pin attempt. Patterson attacked the second referee, however, allowing Love to perform the Mandible claw on Austin. Both Patterson and Gerald Brisco attempted to count the pinfall, but The Undertaker, who was at ringside, chokeslammed them both through the announcer's tables. Austin then miraculously delivered another Stone Cold Stunner on Love, which proceeded to Austin dragging McMahon to where Austin would pin Love, by using McMahon's hand to count the pinfall.
