The two wrestlers brawled into the arena and into the ring where Goldust was stripped down to his, ummm, panties..

IRON MAN MATCH FOR THE WWF CHAMPIONSHIP
“The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels defeated Bret “Hitman” Hart in OVER-TIME to capture the WWF Heavyweight title!: After 60-minutes of action, neither man had scored a pinfall, so they went into sudden death over-time!
