This match featured Ken Shamrock as the special guest referee and was notable for the iconic double face/heel turn moment by Austin and Hart.
It was announced that this match will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a WWE Immortal Moment for the inaugural match to receive this honor.
It was also announced that Austin and Hart will be in attendance for the induction at next month’s Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada.
