Last few minutes. Mankind wins the match by DQ when Big Show won't stop using a chair, making him special referee for Austin vs Rock. Vince comes out pretty angry about this one and gets in his face. Show is about to chokeslam him but stops himself. Vince continues berating him and Show KOs him with a punch. This debut has not been handled well at all.

This show pretty much gave birth to the term WSEF, though it had been well on its way really since December of '97. Vince is mic'd, for some reason (making movies!) but is really good here. Can't say the same for the other performances or the booking.

The winner of this goes onto referee the main event. Paul Wight really had a disastrous first year with the WWE. He's used as an enforcer to the Corporation and he's made to look like a complete idiot who can't get the job done. Mankind is way too beaten-up to get anything good out of Show. After some soulless brawling, the best part of this match was when Show gets out of a Mandible Claw by jumping backwards and squashing Foley like a bug. Even though Show uses a steel chair twice in front of the referee, he's finally disqualified when Show chokeslams Mankind onto two standing chairs in a gruesome spot.
