Comments: as you can tell this match slot is/was a lot of entertaining fun, they went with if you were or had been watching wrestling from this time in history this will make perfect sense and if you weren't you just have to go with it. They went with the outlay of a flight/wrestling style as this feud in a nutshell Michaels turned on Jannetty and now Jannetty wants revenge. I know Jannetty takes a dive through the ring ropes and probably doesn't appear his feet off the ring as he dives through, we as the viewing audience can't see this as his feet are out of the screenshot, but we can hear something, but because this was back in time where they didn't have a lot of space to do this kind of wrestling I am not going to be too harsh here. Obviously these two commentators do a fantastic job bringing us the action and everything else. But and yet again if you are not from this time of history you will have to take my word for it. Monsoon as an ex-professional wrestler has always been wrestling as a professional sport which it is; so when he became a commentator he just carried on legitimising it as a sport before anything else, which I am not criticising that in the slightest in fact it is legendary. But consequently you do get moments of real gems from time to time; where he does point out and I am paraphrasing here; but you will get the gist of it. Heman put over on commentary that Michaels is smart for working on a body part of the left shoulder, which Monsoon points out Jannetty basically to the best of his knowledge is not a southpaw would Heenan essentially confirms he is.

Basic Results: "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship here.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Sensational Sherri running off to the back, with  Monsoon [and at some point Heenan] talking about this incident on commentary, with Sherri being far from happy with what is just taking place, with "Mean" Gene Okerlund trying to calm down the situation, with Michaels' theme music playing "Sexy Boy featuring Sensational Sherri" with competitor and champion still in the ring but eventually heading to the back quickly followed by Jannetty and referee Joey Marella as Michaels wants a word with Sherri with  Okerlund and his microphone still there, but even before anything of substance is heard here comes Jannetty to continue the fight where referees and officials had to break up this once tag team partner now enemies.

* Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": Commentary on-screen talking about this turn of events.

* Howard Finkel/The Finkel: Ring announcer saying the stipulation and the competitors
