In the main event, Shawn Michaels challenges The British Bulldog for the European Championship in front of a passionate hometown crowd that expected to witness Bulldog's crowning moment. Instead, the WWF delivers one of the most debated booking decisions of the era, creating a memorable and emotional conclusion that would have lasting ramifications for the Hart Foundation and the road to Survivor Series.
Elsewhere on the card, Bret Hart battles Undertaker, Owen Hart clashes with Vader, and Dude Love takes on Hunter Hearst-Helmsley as the WWF continues its rapid evolution toward the Attitude Era. JT & Chad discuss the unique atmosphere of a major WWF event held overseas, the crowd reactions throughout the night, and how the company balanced its international audience with its ongoing storylines.
JT & Chad break down:
• Shawn Michaels vs The British Bulldog for the European Championship• The controversial finish and its long-term impact• Bret Hart vs Undertaker• Dude Love vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley• The Hart Foundation's future• The event's place in the build toward Survivor Series 1997• Whether One Night Only deserves more recognition among WWF's 1997 pay-per-views
