In Your House XII: It's Time Results
December 15, 1996
West Palm Beach, FL
- Flash Funk def. Leif Cassidy
-
Two former ECW stars opened the IYH PPV when Leif Cassidy went up
against Flash Funk. Cassidy showed that he can work well without Marty
performing not one but two planchas, one over the top rope and another
from the top of the turnbuckle. Funk performed the usual aerial tactics
and also went for his signature 2 Cold maneuver (Shooting Star Press)
from the top rope and got the win.
- Rocky Maivia def. Salvatore Sincere - Free-For-All Match
-
Rocky Maivia won with a shoulderbreaker. Once again Jim Cornette
comes up short in his quest to get back at Rocky for refusing to let him
manage his career.
- Owen Hart & British Bulldog (ch) def. "Razor Ramon" & "Diesel"
- Tag Team Championship Match:
-
It seemed that Davey Boy didn't have his mind set during their
title match against Razor/Diesel. Davey Boy had his mind on Stone Cold
Steve Austin. The Champions were distracted by not only Cibernetico and
Pierroth from AAA but also when Stone Cold came out to ringside and was
met by the Bulldog. They started slugging it out until Austin was led
back to the dressing room by the officials.
Owen and the British Bulldog won, then Davey Boy was clipped by Steve
Austin when he came back into the ring and Owen Hart didn't do anything
to help his partner.
Vince McMahon then announced the return of Ahmed Johnson who said
that Ahmed will meet Farooq in January at the Royal Rumble. Ahmed said
on account of what happened between him and Farooq that he lost
everything that was dear to him. Then all of a sudden Farooq and the NOD
made a surprise appearance and Farooq called his enemy an "Uncle Tom."
He finished by saying he was going to make an example of Johnson "by any
means necessary."
- Hunter Hearst Helmsley (ch) def. "Wildman" Marc Mero
- Intercontinental Championship Match:
-
Most of the action would have been appreciated if the satellite
signal wasn't as screwed up as it was during the match. It seemed that
Hunter was doing his best to get himself disqualified, but the ref was
having no part of it whatsoever. Prior to the match there was some kind
of confrontation between Hunter and Marlena, and that brought out
Goldust who accidentally knocked out Wildman Marc Mero while attempting to
knock out Hunter. Wildman won by a countout.
- Undertaker def. Executioner - Armageddon Rules
-
The Armageddon Rules match literally turned into a handicapped
bout that almost brought the house down when Mankind interfered. The
match went from the ring to the house built on the set. Then all of a
sudden, security came to ringside and maced Mankind and put him in a
strait jacket. Then Undertaker and the Executioner fought outside the
arena and UT made his way back and systematically attacked Mankind. He
beat him back to the dressing room, and then got the Executioner in the
Tombstone inside the squared circle and pinned him for the win.
- Sycho Sid (ch) def. Bret "Hit Man" Hart
- WWF Championship Match:
-
From the ringing of the bell, Bret tried to fight Sid's fight by
slugging the champ from behind. Bret made a mistake by trying to fight
Sid style instead of wrestling him. Shawn Michaels was doing
co-commentary and was making references to how much of a role model Bret
was claiming to be.
It was classic with Bret Hart working on Sid like a textbook wrestler.
Out came Stone Cold Steve Austin who knee clipped the Hit Man and that
brought out Davey Boy Smith and the WWF officials. Then throughout the
melee, both individuals wound up in front of Shawn Michaels at the
announcing table and in similar fashion to when Diesel fought Shawn
Michaels and Bret was at ringside, Sid shoved Shawn to provoke him. Then
Shawn got on top of the ring apron as Sid whipped Bret into the rope,
and Shawn went flying off the ring onto the ground, costing Bret the
match. Sid got Bret in the Powerbomb and won the opportunity to face
Shawn Michaels in January at the Royal Rumble. Hart then took out his
frustration on HBK, kicking him to the ground.
