WWF In Your House 5

We are live from Hershey, PA for In Your House 5 with our hosts Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. WWF Tag Team Champions The Smoking Gunns are not wrestling tonight so they are in attendance hanging out with Santa Claus.

The opening match is Razor Ramon and Marty Jannetty taking on 1-2-3 Kid and Sycho Sid. Razor and Jannetty are wearing matching leather jackets to the ring. Goldust is shown watching from the stands as he is interested in Razor.

Todd Pettengill interviews Goldust as he is obsessed with Razor. Goldust hands him an envelope to give to Razor. Razor gives the Kid a Fallaway Slam to the floor. Sid runs in and clotheslines Razor. Sid throws Razor into the corner, but Razor catches him with a boot to the face. Razor gives Sid a flying bulldog off the middle rope for the 1-2-3.

Jerry Lawler is in the ring and promises us a surprise and it's the returning Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett explains his departure and absence on being on a "world tour" and Lawler hands Jarrett a "gold record." Jarrett announces he will be in the 1996 Royal Rumble match. Jarrett then joins Lawler and Vince McMahon for commentary for the next match.

It's supposed to be Ahmed Johnson against Dean Douglas, but Douglas did not show due to a back injury. In his place is "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell. Johnson no-sells Landell's chops and hits him with a Spinebuster and the Pearl River Plunge for the easy win.

After the match, Lawler and Jarrett interview Johnson, more like insult him. Johnson goes after both, but Jarrett hits Johnson in the head with the gold record and continues to attack him until Johnson gets back up and chases after him with a steel chair.

Razor Ramon is shown reading the letter given to him by Goldust and is disgusted by it.  I don't want to know what is said in the letter.

It't time for the Arkansas Hog Pen match between Henry O. Godwinn and Hunter Hearst Helmsley where you have to put your opponent in the hog pen to win the match. Hillbilly Jim is the special guest referee.

The match eventually goes to the hog pen where Godwinn gives Helmsley the Slop Drop. Godwinn charges at Helmsley at the pen, but Helmsley ducks and backdrops Godwinn into the pen for the win. After the match, Godwinn picked up Helmsley and press slammed him into the hog pen anyway and Helmsley was all dirty much to the blue bloods dismay.

Diesel takes on Owen Hart and gets an early advantage by attacking Owen. Owen soon hits Diesel with a spinning heel kick and missile dropkick. He works on Diesel's leg and then gives Diesel the enziguri kick that took out his best friend Shawn Michaels.

Diesel soon gets the advantage and gives Owen Snake Eyes and the lunge onto Hart's back when he was resting on the middle rope. Diesel gives Owen the big boot and gives him the Jackknife. Diesel puts his foot on his chest for the 1-2- but wait, he picks up Owen again to give him another Jackknife.

The ref tries to stop him, but Diesel pushes him out of the way for the disqualification and gives Owen a second Jackknife in revenge for his buddy Michaels. Diesel then makes the "I want the belt" sign before celebrating.

Ted DiBiase is in the ring as Santa Claus and Savio Vega make their way down to the ring handing out t-shirts to the crowd. DiBiase asks Vega if he believes in Santa and he says he believes in the magic of Santa as DiBiase laughs. Suddenly, Santa attacks Vega with the sack of t-shirts as DiBiase paid off Santa. Vega tries to go after both, but is held back by officials.

Next up is the Casket Match between The Undertaker wearing his Phantom of the Opera mask taking on King Mabel. Mabel tries to hit Undertaker with a splash off the second rope, but Undertaker sits up and Mabel crashes to the canvas. Mabel then gives Undertaker a belly-to-belly suplex followed by a leg drop and a splash as Undertaker does not get up.

They put Undertaker into the casket. However, instead of closing the lid shut, Mabel grabs his crown and wastes time before going over to close the casket, only to be stopped by Undertaker who got up and hit Mabel with clotheslines, the Chokeslam, and then booted Mabel into the Casket.

As Undertaker was about to close the casket, Mo attacks him from behind but it has no effect as Undertaker Chokeslams him into the casket with Mabel. Before he closes the lid, he grabs the gold chain around Mo's neck that used to be the urn and shuts the casket to win the match. Undertaker hands the chain back to Paul Bearer as Undertaker does the "I want the belt" sign to celebrate.

Now it's time for the main event between WWF Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart against his brother-in-law The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith in a rematch from their thrilling SummerSlam 92 match.

Smith reminds us all how he beat Hart that night for the Intercontinental Title and will do the same tonight for the WWF Title. Davey Boy is even wearing the same tights he wore that night for good luck. His wife and Bret's sister Diana Smith is sitting at ringside concerned for both her husband and brother.

Both were trading moves in a thrilling wrestling match. Hart tries to Superplex Smith, but Smith throws him off the top and onto the floor, where Hart crashes into the ring steps. Hart's head is busted open from the fall and he bleeds profusely. Smith rams Hart's back into the ring post and throws him back into the ring for a piledriver and a standing vertical suplex, but only for two.

Smith puts Hart into a bow-and-arrow, but Hart escapes and puts Smith in the Sharpshooter, but Smiths kicks him to the floor. Smith tries to suplex Hart back into the ring, but Hart counters that into a German Suplex for a two-count.

Hart backdrops Smith out of the ring. Hart tries to dive out of the ring onto Smith, but Smith catches him and gives him the Running Powerslam onto the floor. He pulls off the ring mats and tries to suplex Hart onto the concrete, but Hart blocks and puts Davey crotch first onto the guard rail. Back in the ring, Bret gives him the backbreaker for two and the superplex also for only two.

Davey throws Bret into the corner, but Bret kicks him in the face. Bret twists his arm and rolls Davey Boy into a pin for the 1-2-3 to retain the title in a thrilling match that was equally as exciting as their SummerSlam match but more bloody and rougher.

Before the PPV is over, Todd Pettingill talks to The Undertaker as he will take on Bret Hart for the WWF Title at Royal Rumble. Paul Bearer is happy The Undertaker is getting the title shot as he is finally getting the push he deserves going into 1996 much like the one Bret's received and deserved after a miserable 1995 full of awful feuds and storylines.

Diesel comes in and confronts Undertaker as he is not happy he is getting the title shot at Royal Rumble just because he beat King Mabel and he should get it. He puts his hands on Bearer as Undertaker interjects and the two are face-to-face as the PPV goes off the air.
