was brilliant wasn't it? First PPV I ever saw, and it works on so many levels, without even mentioning The Rock/Mankind

- the commentary is spot on. I still think The King is hilarious when he had the heel persona as he plays it so well, and his constant sucking up to Mr McMahon and changing of picks to win are great
- the crowd are electric. When number 3, Golga, comes in literally the entire audience on show dance along to the music, something which wouldn't be seen again
- Mr McMahon's efforts to weasel out of it, from the backstage beating to just sitting at commentary, as well as the intersplicing of the match and whats happening backstage; especially when Vis is being loaded into a truck, an ambulance with SCSA speeds past
- the 'abduction' of Viscera is fantastically done, there's something very eerie when Undertaker is whispering to Vis and he's jsut confused and looks bewildered
-the asylum workers and Kane
- the entrants, ranging from Kurrgan/The Blue Meanie/Tiger Ali Singh to Owen Hart/Chyna/Jeff Jarrett etc, great roster
