JR is very clear on the call that Shamrock is going to have the advantage on the mat, but Taker is going to be stronger with a vertical base (Man, Taker would not go for that just a few years later when he wanted to be the MMA machine). It’s kind of refreshing to see a babyface take such a clear advantage in a match, and keep going back to that weakness he created.
One of the hidden gems on the Attitude era in terms of bell-to-bell stuff.

Tbf, the Ministry wasn't bad until it became the Corporate Ministry and it got nonsensical
