WWE In Your House 14: Revenge of the Taker Reviews
- OKAY WRESTLING CARDby on 7 May 20023 out of 3 people found the following review useful:The In Your House events were never in the same league as say, WrestleMania but they did produce some good matches from time to time.Up until late 1997 In Your House events were no more than two hours and some of the undercard matches were nothing spectacular. It was usually the main events that helped the In Your House series get a good PPV buy rate.There are only really two matches which stand out. The Undertaker has a brutal battle with Mankind in this match (those two must have loved pain) and Bret Hart had a wild brawl with Stone Cold Steve Austin.I wouldn't recommend anyone buy this video but at least rent it for the Undertaker VS Mankind match.
- Revenge of the Takerby on 19 July 20091 out of 1 people found the following review useful:Well, WWE Champion Undertaker had yet another PPV match with Mankind, Austin and Bret Hart got a main event match and the New Hart Foundation made their presence felt at this satisfying Two hour PPV event.The night started off with two of Bret's Hart Foundation cronies, Owen Hart and the British Bulldog defending the World Tag Team Championship against the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal). The LOD looked to have the match won after pinning the Bulldog following a doomsday device, but the referee ruled that Owen hart was the legal man, so the match continued. Bret Hart ran out and decked the referee for a DQ. LOd got the win, but the Hart Foundation kept their Tag Titles. Entertaining match in its own way, but the LOD were well past their best in this match.Next saw another title match as Intercontinental Champion Rocky Maivia put the title on the line against Savio Vega, a member of the evil Nation of Domination. The Rock retained his title after being counted out following interference from Nation members Farooq and Crush. Ahmed Johnson, who'd been in a long and heated rivalry with the Nation, came out and chased them off. Within a few months Rocky Maivia would change his name to the Rock and join the Nation. Even Johnson ended up a Nation member in the end.Next match was what wrestling fans affectionately call the toilet break match as Double J Jesse James (later and better known as Road Dogg) defeated Rockabilly (Billy Gunn) with a small package in a real nothing match. The two would later have a very similar match at TNA Lockdown in 2008, but that was after they formed arguably the most commercially successful tag team in WWE history, the New Age Outlaws.Next saw the continuation of a very long rivalry as the Undertaker defeated Mankidn to retain the WWE Championship. This was a good match, but not the best in their series. Also happening around the match was an interesting story with Undertaker's former manager Paul Bearer, who'd betrayed the Undertaker and allied himself with Mankind, seemingly wanting to go back to managing the Undertaker now he was the champion. Undertaker shot a fireball into his face as a reply.This brings us to the main event, which saw Steve Austin finally get a PPV win over Bret Hart at his third attempt, albeit only by disqualification. They had a nice little brawl before the British Bulldog came into the ring and smashed Austin with a steel chair to draw the DQ. Owen Hart and the Bulldog then laid into Austin. Bret went for the ring bell, but Austin was able to clock him with it, and then smash him in the knee with a chair before applying the sharpshooter. They were finally separated and Hart walked back to the sheds for some ice while Austin celebrated his first ever PPV win over Hart.Decent show.
