Bret Hart Vs Hakushi (W/Shinja)

Bret wins with a victory roll. This was an outstanding opener! Bret and Hakushi just went out there and wrestled with no BS, aside from a lot of interference from Shinja. Hakushi's offense was very impressive at the time because a lot of people hadn't seen it at that juncture. The only thing keeping this from four stars is the slow beginning.

***3/4

Bret Hart hurts his knee jumping over the top rope after the match. Jerry Lawler is ecstatic, because he has to face Bret Hart later on.

Handicapped Match

Razor Ramon Vs Jeff Jarrett & The Roadie

Ramon wins by pinning Jarrett with the Razor's Edge. Jarrett and The Roadie assault Razor after the match. Aldo Montoya tries to make the save but he fails. Savio Vega makes his debut and saves Razor. We're starting off with some quality wrestling! This is another good match. Razor and Jarrett have always had good chemistry, and I was surprised at how well The Roadie did. (better known as Road Dog) Razor overcoming the implausible odds didn't bother me.

***1/4

Jerry Lawler wants his match with Bret Hart to take place now. He argues with president, Jack Tunney about it. We also get a highlight package of Sycho Sid.

King of the Ring Qualifying March

Mabel (W/Mo) Vs Adam Bomb

Mabel wins pretty quickly with the world's strongest slam. This was during the big push that Mabel got in 1995 where Vince inexplicably made him King of the Ring. I loathe 1995! LOATHE IT.

3/4*

Jerry Lawler comes out during the Smoking Gunn's entrance, trying to get his match with Bret started now. As much as I dislike him on commentary, Lawler was brilliant at times as a heel.

Tag Team Championship

Owen Hart & Yokozuna (C) (W/Mr. Fuji & Jim Cornette) Vs The Smoking Gunns

Owen and Yokozuna retain after Yokozuna hits a legdrop on Bart Gunn. This seemed awfully short. That being said, it was a decent match. Yokozuna was wisely kept out of the match for most of it.

**1/4

Jerry Lawler brings out a gorgeous woman, who looks to be in her 20's. He claims it's his mother. This was just creepy. Also, Bret Hart isn't injured after all. Bret fooled Lawler with his knee.

Jerry Lawler Vs Bret Hart

Lawler wins after interference from Hakushi. If you've seen matches between Bret and Lawler, then you know not to expect much. Lawler's antics usually make the matches, not the wrestling. This match falls under that category.

**

WWF gives away a house to some guy named Matt Henderson. I believe this was the only time they did this.

WWF Championship

Diesel (C) Vs Sycho Sid (W/Ted Dibiase)

Sycho Sid has the match won with a powerbomb, but Sid decides to bask in his own glory, and takes too long to cover. Diesel ends up kicking out at two. Diesel has the match won with a jackknife, but Tatanka runs in to cause the DQ. They double team Diesel until Bam Bam Bigelow runs in to make the save. I rank this as one of the worst main events in history. It's nothing but punching, kicking, brawling, and a lengthy Camel Clutch by Sid. As bad as this match was, they'd have a rematch.

*

The PPV kinda goes downhill after a very good start. Bret and Hakushi is well worth a watch, and Razor's handicapped match is surprisingly good as well. But after that, there isn't much to recommend on this PPV. The main event is horrible and not worth your time. Overall, I'd say this is worth a watch, but that's about it.

5.5/10 overall.

Great Start To The In Your House Series

[Big Movie Fan · 31 May 2002]

In Your House which took place in May 1995 was a great start to the In Your House series.

When it made it's debut in 1995 most people-including myself-were skeptical as to whether WWF fans would cough up more money to purchase yet another PPV event on the WWF calendar. Over time the In Your House series has certainly provided us with some exciting and memorable matches.

The matches on this card are decent enough. WWF Champion Diesel faced Psycho Sid in the main event; it wasn't a great great match but it wasn't a bad match either. The undercard matches certainly provided enough entertainment for everyone.

I strongly recommend In Your House. It has something for everyone.

The first and most successful In Your House PPV

[bh_tafe3 · 7/10 · 9 March 2009]

Well a lot had changed since the last WWE PPV, Wrestlemania XI. On that night Diesel had defeated his former friend Shawn Micheals, with bodyguard Psycho Sid in his corner, to retain the WWE Championship. In the interim Sid had turned on Shawn, injuring him and costing him a rematch for the title. Diesel stepped in on behalf of his former friend and challenged Sid to a match at In Your House, a successful title defense against Bam Bam Bigelow on RAW made it a title match. In that match Sid had revealed he had joined the Million Dollar Corporation, after they turned on Bigelow.

The night started off with the rivalry between Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler was renewed. Hart would face Lawler later in the night, but only after he wrestled Hakushi in the opener. This is one outstanding match. Hart wins it with a victory roll to take the match. Lawler was happy with what he saw after the match, Bret had used a lot of energy in the match, he then appeared to injured his knee leaving the ring.

This was followed by a handicap match with Razor Ramon taking on Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie. Jarrett had beaten Ramon to win the IC Title at the Royal Rumble four months before thanks to the Roadie, and had retained at Wrestlemania, again with the Roadie's help. Eazor got some revenge this night winning a passable match with his Razor's Edge Powerbomb. Ramon was then beaten down by Jarrett and Roadie before Aldo Montoya and then Savio Vega (making his WWE Debut) came out and made the save.

Next up came a match which appeared of little consequence as evil monster Mabel destroyed Adam Bomb in a couple of minutes to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament.

Next up was the big match between Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler. Lawler had won his only previous PPV match against Hart thanks to a reverse decision. Here he would have Hakushi to thank after he dove head first into Hart to cost him the match. This was a nice little match and Lawler was now 2 for 2 against Hart on PPV.

This brings us to the main event, in which Diesel retained his WWE Championship by disqualification against Psycho Sid, who was led to the ring by his new boss, Ted DiBiase. This was a passable big man match, with the Million Dollar Corp's Tatanka interfering following a Diesel powerbomb to score the DQ. The MDC then got stuck into Diesel until Bigelow came in and made the save.

This did a good buyrate and was a good show, ensuring that In Your House was here to stay. A new era had started. And the storyline was interesting as well, with Diesel taking on the whole MDC, Hart losing to Lawler and Michaels soon to return.

Home Alone starring Vince

[paudieconnolly · 3/10 · 9 May 2021]

Some kind of weird shopping channel wrestling cross bad commentary worst back stage interviews . Trying to sell phone calls and t shirts live Giving away a house adding nothing. If this is in your house I would rather stay in the Garden.

The first In Your House PPV

[Spawn Devil · 1 July 2002]

1. Bret Hart scored a pinfall victory over Hakushi to open the show.

2. Razor Ramon defeated Jeff Jarrett & the Roadie in a Handicap Match. Jarrett was pinned for the finish. As a sidenote, the 1-2-3 Kid was scheduled to be Ramon's partner, though a broken neck kept from competition.

3. Mabel defeated Adam Bomb via pinfall, in under two minutes.

4. Owen Hart & Yokozuna defeated The Smoking Gunns (Bart/Billy Gunn) to retain the Tag Team Championship. Owen pinned Bart for the victory.

5. Jerry "The King" Lawler pinned Bret Hart. Hart came out to silence Lawler, who'd been making jokes about Bret's mother, Helen - on Mother's Day, of all days. Hakushi would interfere during the match, helping the King to get the win.

6. Diesel defeated Sid via disqualification to retain the World Championship. He'd landed his 'Jackknife' powerbomb, but Tatanka ran-in to stop the count, causing the DQ.

Overall Mark: B

Well...AWESOME!

At the time In Your House Pay Per Views we're 2 hours long and only 15 dollars. For the price of 15 dollars this was a very decent card to start off the In Your House Pay Per Views. Some of the better matches we're Hart-Hakushi and was Ramon -JJ & the Roadie. . Diesel-Sid was was so/so it wasn't the best match, but it was a decent main event for the first ever IN YOUR HOUSE! Check it out!
