Advantages: Great Main events, The British Bulldog on home territory

Disadvantages: Ordinary undercard on the whole

Remember the days of the WWF rather than the boring WWE? This mega event was one of the leading pay per view events of the WWF era. Held at Wembley stadium, England - this was the first time a major televised major WWF event was held this side of the ocean.

Whilst the undercard was largely un-eventful and pretty routine, the stand out matches were the headline bouts. The most memorable undercard moment came with appearance of the Legion of Doom, Animal and the late Hawk, riding down the long entrance ramp in their Harley Davidsons on their way to their match. The Undertaker proved extremely popular with the fans as soon as the gong started chiming, aided with the presence of a funeral hearse at ringside, However, his match with Kamala was sub standard due to the limitationsof Kamala and a cheap disqualification finish.

The Macho Man Randy Savage proved he still had it in his match with the Ulitmate Warrior. For some reason these two headliners always brought the best out of each other - surprising considering Jim Helwig's poor wrestling ability. The bout was a true masterpiece in terms of how to tell a story in the ring. With Ric Flair and Mr Perfect at ringside suggesting that one of the two faces had sold out for their services in winning the match, the tension was high and the crowd kept in suspense throughout.

The main event of the late British Bulldog against Bret Hart was possibly the greatest bout in WWF history. Fought over the intercontinental championship, the match was 30 minutes of fast paced technical wrestling at its greatest. Lennox Lewis accompanied the Bulldog to ringside and ensured a great reception for the British native. The crowd left happy as Davey Boy Smith pinned Bret Hart for the title in what sadly marked the high point of his career. The British Bulldog passed away in 2001.

A must see event for any wrestling fan - it shows Vince McMahon used to be able to put on a great show and tell captivating storylines, seriously lacking in today's WWE.

Summary: A fantastic pay per view event - a must see
