I was up wayyyy too early this morning and decided to watch an old tape of the Over the Edge: In Your House pay-per-view from May 31st, 1998.
Remember, this was the first OTE and not the one (a year later) where Owen fell to his death.
So, the highlight of this event is the main event WWF title match with Stone Cold and Dude Love fighting under no DQ, falls count anywhere rules with Vince McMahon as the special guest referee.
Wiki is always useful, for those that haven't seen it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Edge:_In_Your_House
Austin/Dude has tremendous heat throughout and leading up to the finish of the match, which is a miracle in and of itself since the crowd was mildly sedated for the rest of the show.
Second best match would either be DX vs. The Nation or, in my personal opinion, Kaientai vs. Taka and Bradshaw. The undercard isn't very impressive and offers only decent matches between LOD 2000 vs. DOA, Jarrett vs. Blackman, The Rock (who gets kayfabe injured earlier in the night) vs. Farooq for the IC title, and Kane vs. Vader (Mask vs. Mask).
Oh, and Mero rolls up Sable for the cheap pin after pretending to lay down for her in a 21-second masterpiece.
Actually, forget Austin/Dude for the highlight of the night, as clearly that award should go to Vader for referring to himself as a "big fat piece of shit" following his match with Kane lol.
