Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The
Undertaker vs. Vader
Final Four Match for the vacant WWF Championship
This is a mini-Royal-Rumble, but pinfalls and submissions
also count. Vader's eye was cut open in this match. About 18
minutes into the match, Bret Hart threw Stone Cold over the top
rope, eliminating him. A few minutes later, The Undertaker
eliminates a bloody Vader. As Undertaker sets up for the
tombstone on Bret Hart, Steve Austin comes back down. With Austin
distracting the Undertaker, Bret Hart pushes the Taker over the
top and claims the WWF Championship.
