- WWF Tag Titles

Legion of Doom and New Age Outlaws put on a fairly solid match.

The LOD then nailed Billy with a Doomsday Device to a big pop before leaving the ring, saying they would get their rightful rematch.(80%, 81%, 79%)

- WWF IC Title(DX barred from ringside)

Triple H and Owen battled in an awesome match with many moves being showcased. Owen thought he had the match won when he nailed the Enziguiri however Triple H barely got his shoulder up. As the match wore on, both men were becoming more fatigued. The match seemed to change direction when Triple H managed to slingshot Owen into the corner, inadvertantly taking the referee out as well. Triple H grabbed a steel chair and threw it in. Triple H swung for the fences but Owen ducked and dropkicked it back into Triple H's face. Owen made the cover however the referee was still out. Owen went over to revive the ref when Triple H low blowed Owen Hart and proceeded to nail the Pedigree onto the steel chair. The ref crawled over...1..........2.........2 and 3/4ths as Owen kicks out, HHH can't believe it! HHH is now arguing with the ref and Owen rolls him up! 1.......2......2 and 1/2 there. Owen managed to duck a Triple H clothesline and takes HHH down with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Owen now locks in the Sharpshooter and the bell rings at 20:00! Owen raises both arms, thinking he's won the Title however the referee waves no as the ring announcers says that the time limit expired before Triple H tapped. Owen is mega pissed and locks the Sharpshooter back on Triple H when Chyna comes in from behind and KO's Owen with a lead pipe shot to the back of the head.(89%, 90%, 89%)

- WWF Title

Another awesome match as Shawn and Steve bought the goods in this match. The match looked to be over when HBK nailed the Flying Elbow however that only got a 2 and 1/2 count. Later on as the match wore down, both men began battling in a slugfest. Austin caught Michaels' Sweet Chin Music and spun Shawn around, hitting the Stunner! The cover, 1........2.......2 and 3/4ths. Austin is irate and can't believe it. Suddenly the gongs hit and the Undertaker appears. Undertaker slowly makes his way down the ramp as Austin and Taker have a staredown. Shawn slowly gets up as Austin turns around, only to eat Sweet Chin Music! Shawn however can't make the cover due to the fatigue. Finally, he drapes an arm over Austin's chest. 1......2.......2.99999! Shawn pounds the mat in frustration as he finally spots Undertaker and begins jarring with him. Undertaker walks up onto the apron and grabs Shawn by the throat! Austin nails Shawn from behind with a double axehandle before flipping off Undertaker! Austin waits for Shawn to get up and goes for the Stunner but Shawn shoves Austin towards Taker who Chokeslams him! The referee calls for the DQ at 18.27 as Undertaker climbs into the ring and stands over a down and out Austin. Shawn grabs a chair and slides in, creeping towards Taker. Shawn begins to swing but Taker glares at HBK, causing HBK to pause and beg off. Undertaker grabs Shawn around the throat and delivers a Chokeslam as well! Undertaker stands over both bodies and grabs the World Title, raising it in the air while Cactus Jack looks on from the ramp as the show fades to black.(92%, 91%, 94%)

Armageddon presented to you by the World Wrestling Federation, LIVE at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on December 28th. It's a blockbuster show with tons of matches confirmed and scores to settle.

 

Main Event

WWF Champion Shawn Michaels will defend his Title against Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kane however it won't be an ordinary Triple Threat match as all three men will be inside the confines of a Steel Cage and the only way to win is to have both feet touch the floor first.

 

D'Lo Brown will be defending his European Title up against Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam who has had his hands full with Shane Douglas on the side. To add to the deck, Shane Douglas has been announced as the official Ringside Enforcer! What will this entail for Mr. Pay Per View? Tune in on December 28th to find out.

 

Also the #1 Contendor for the Intercontinental Title will be up for grabs as Owen Hart and The Rock BUTT heads. However the champion, Triple H will be the guest referee and he has made his feelings known that he hates both men. Will Triple H call it down the middle or will he decide his own #1 Contendor?

 

Also the historic feud between The Undertaker and Cactus Jack will resume with a passion. After their countless classics such as their Boiler Room Brawl at Summerslam 1997 and the infamous Hell In A Cell at this year's King of the Ring, both men will go toe to toe in a Tables match! Cactus Jack and Undertaker have both been put through tables countless times in their career and this match could only add to the storied past.

 

The Tag Team Titles will also be on the line as the New Age Outlaws put them up against the Legion of Doom. At Survivor Series, the Outlaws and Road Dogg in particular, out smarted the LOD however this time both Hawk & Animal are looking for revenge and no doubt they have all the bases covered.

 

Also the bizarre one, Goldust will take on the new upcomer Al Snow. Rumors backstage have been that Goldust has taken offense to the way Al Snow has gotten attention from the upper management and is looking to make his own mark at Armageddon. Will Goldust shine or will Al Snow add another victim to his Head count?

Update: The Al Snow vs Goldust and Euro Title matches are done. As of this moment, the results will no longer have the EWR ratings attached as it allows for me to be free in terms of what goes on.
