 The main event was a singles match in which WWF Champion Steve Austin defended against the Undertaker . Originally , Shane and Vince McMahon were supposed to be the guest referees , but due to storyline purposes , Pat Patterson , an accomplice of Vince McMahon , replaced Vince , who had had his ankle broken earlier in the event , in order to prevent Shane from helping The Undertaker . Patterson , however , was unable to officiate the entire match after the Undertaker executed a chokeslam on him . The Undertaker and Austin wrestled inconclusively until Austin hit The Undertaker on the head with a folding chair . As Austin went to cover the Undertaker , Gerald Brisco , another accomplice of Vince , came down to the ring to replace Patterson and officiated the unsuccessful pinfall attempt by Austin . Like his partner Patterson , Brisco was unable to officiate the entire match after the Undertaker attacked him . Vince then came down to the ring as another referee replacement , but when Austin forcefully pulled the Undertaker 's head over his shoulders to perform a stunner , Shane prevented him from performing a three count . As Vince and Shane argued , Austin got up and confronted Vince at which point Shane shoved Vince into Austin , who fell into a roll @-@ up by The Undertaker and then performed a fast count to give him the victory and the WWF Title .
