Bret Hart & Chris Benoit
Vs
Owen Hart & British Bulldog

First Wrestlers in the ring: Christian, Chris Benoit, The British Bulldog, and Rob Van Dam
No one had an early advantage in this match. Rob Van Dam was hit early on with the Impaler by Christian, then a Power Bomb to Face Smash and then another Impaler. Somehow he was able to kick out and make a comeback. Christian was also hit with a Pump Handle Suplex Special by The British Bulldog but was also able to kick out. Finally Christian was pinned by The British Bulldog after a patented Bulldog Powerslam (10:59). As soon as Edge hit the ring he went after Chris Benoit. An exausted Chris Benoit was pinned after a Double Suplex by Edge and Bulldog (11:29). Edge made the pin. As soon as Bret Hart hit the ring he went right after The British Bulldog. After a suplex, Hart put him in the Sleeper. Bulldog submitted at the 13:16 mark. Now in the ring: Owen Hart, Bret Hart, RVD, and Edge. Edge hit the Downward spiral on Bret, while RVD got the 5 Star Frog Splash on Owen. Somehow both wrestlers kicked out. RVD however kept going after Owen and got the pin fall at the 15:41 mark with a German Suplex. The Owen/Bulldog team is the first team eliminated, with Triple H still waiting in the back. It looked like RVD was going to go down when Hart and Edge double teamed him constantly, but the double teaming soon turned against Hart, and then Edge, and would continue to go back and forth. A lot of close calls in the next 10 minutes of action with Owen Hart constantly interfering and going after mainly RVD and Bret Hart. Finally at the 28:40 mark Bret Hart was pinned after a Downward Spiral by Edge. The Bret Hart/Chris Benoit team is the second to be eliminated. Bret and Owen went after each other pretty violently while Edge dominated an exhausted RVD in the ring. Rob was finally pinned after a slingshot elbow off the middle rope (31:01). Triple H finally came in the ring and Edge put up an incredible fight. Edge busted Triple H open after giving him 2 consecutive Downward Spirals on the outside of the ring. Finally they came back in the ring and somehow a bloodied Triple H got the advantage again. Edge came back however using mostly high risk moves off the ropes. When the action spilled out on the outside again, Hunter would then again gain the advantage. Back in the ring and back and forth again. Finally Edge is busted open by a Triple H Pedigree in the middle of the ring. 1... 2....3!!
