I was at this show in Hamilton Ontario Canada. They would do PPVs here all the time now they don't even to live events in Hamilton just Toronto.

First WWF VHS I ever bought from the local video rental store. Solid opener with a young Edge taking on N.O.D. version of Owen Hart, coming out for the heat wearing a Toronto Argonauts jersey. Also features the debut of Christian who ran in for the distraction roll-up.
