In Your House 21 : Unforgiven Unforgiven : In Your House was the 21st pay - per - view ( PPV ) under the In Your House name from the World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) . It took place on April 26 , 1998 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro , North Carolina . This was the first WWE PPV that used the new " scratch " logo for promotional work , while WrestleMania XIV had featured the logo on the ring apron , the official graphic still featured the New Generation logo . This event saw the first ever Inferno Match and WWE ' s first evening gown match . Background . Nation of Domination leader Faarooq felt his leadership compromised by the egotism of The Rock and so when Rock was tapping out to Ken Shamrock ' s anklelock at WrestleMania XIV , rather than appear to save him , Faarooq merely laughed as The Rock ostensibly lost his Intercontinental Championship ( the decision was soon reversed ) . The following night Rock promised to Faarooq that in their match against Shamrock and Steve Blackman , the Nation of Domination would find a new strength . The new strength turned to be a double cross as Rocky left the match , making it a de facto handicap match which Faarooq lost . After the match , Faarooq demanded The Rock return so they could face each other man to man but when Rock came back to the ring it turned into a coup d ' état as all the other members turned on their leader and Rock took leadership of the newly named Nation . The next week as Faarooq arrived at the arena he was met with a beating in the parking lot by all the Nation members , which they also filmed . Ken Shamrock , meanwhile , was forming an ad hoc tag team with Blackman based on their martial arts backgrounds , and still wanted his hands on the Intercontinental Champion . As the only Hart family member left after the Montreal Screwjob , Owen Hart found himself in a feud with D - Generation X and specifically Triple H . Hart wanted Helmsley ' s European Belt after Shawn Michaels laid down to give it to Triple H as a Christmas present . Hart eventually persuaded Helmsley into a match , though it turned out to be a ruse with The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust playing the part of Triple H ; Hart ' s win was upheld and he became champion anyway . Triple H would win the title back with the help of Chyna exploiting an injured ankle . Their rematch at WrestleMania XIV would see Commissioner Slaughter handcuffed to Chyna in a bid to prevent her from interfering but she managed to regardless and Hart lost the match after a low blow . The decision was then made for a rematch to be held at Unforgiven , with Chyna restrained in a small cage , suspended from the ground . Jim Cornette had long been on a campaign to return tradition to the WWF and in doing so brought in a National Wrestling Alliance faction . The NWA Tag Team Champions The Rock ' n ' Roll Express were part of this faction until two successive losses to The Headbangers saw Jim Cornette turn on them and bring in New Midnight Express who would record a success over the Headbangers and take the titles . The Rock ' n ' Roll Express , though , still wanted revenge for their assault and Cornette ' s double - cross . Marc Mero ' s jealousy over the attention his wife and valet , Sable , gained from the crowd . To mock her , he sent her from ringside and invited out to accompany him The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust , dressed up as Sable , which started a short - lived tag team between the two . The team would come undone , however , when Goldust ' s valet Luna Vachon took exception to Sable . After Sable dominated Vachon in a mixed - tag match at WrestleMania XIV , Vachon demanded a rematch with Sable between just the two of them , which was instantly accepted . The stipulation was later revealed to be an Evening Gown match , in order for Vachon to humiliate Sable , which she initially did by having Goldust dress up again as Sable and strip him as she intended to do to Sable . Sable appeared , though , and assaulted Vachon , with the latter having to flee . After a series of successive losses , Legion of Doom seemed to split up after brawling in the ring following a loss at the hands of the cheating New Age Outlaws on " Raw is War " , February 24 . They reappeared over a month later as the surprise competitors of WrestleMania ' s opening 15 tag team battle royal with a revamped image as LOD 2000 sporting new ring attire and a new manager , Sunny . By winning the match , they became the number one contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championships and would have faced the winners of the WrestleMania Dumpser Match , Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie , however a technicality saw the titles being stripped from the team and on the March 30 " Raw " , the Outlaws won the title back thanks to some interference from their new D - Generation X teammates meaning LOD 2000 would have to face their old rivals for the title . Since Kane ' s debut in the WWF , interrupting The Undertaker ' s match and ruining his chances of beating Shawn Michaels at Badd Blood , Paul Bearer ordered Kane to be constant trouble to his half - brother , who in turn had refused to fight Kane . Things changed though , during a casket match at the Royal Rumble when Kane interfered again , chokeslam ming The Undertaker into the casket then padlocking it shut before setting it ablaze , seemingly destroying The Undertaker . After he returned , just before WrestleMania , he claimed to have gone to the afterlife and spoken to his parents and could now justify fighting his brother . Despite winning the match , it took him three tombstone piledrivers to do the job , and Kane recovered afterwards and tombstoned his brother onto a chair . Paul Bearer challenged him soon after on Raw , to a match surrounded by fire where the loser would be determined by the first to be set on fire . The following week Kane and Bearer were shown at the graves of Undertaker ' s parents , smashing the headstones and setting it ablaze . The week before the event , Undertaker went to the crypt of his parents only to find their coffins gone ; they reappeared in the arena under the auspices of Kane and Bearer , who then set one of them on fire and when Undertaker tried to stop them , Kane chokeslammed him into the other coffin . On the road to WrestleMania , Vince McMahon revealed in an interview by Kevin Kelly that the thought of Stone Cold Steve Austin winning the WWF Championship would be a public relations nightmare . Following the event , McMahon had Austin incarcerated after being assaulted in the ring . He later brought out a changed Austin , formed in his own corporate imagine with a suit . This turned out to be a ruse though , with Austin quickly stripping off into his normal attire and stunning McMahon . On " Raw is War " , April 13 , Austin offered McMahon the choice of fighting him in the ring or being attacked back stage ; McMahon took the offer of the match but once in the ring called on the boast that Austin had made , that he could defeat McMahon with one hand tied behind his back . Before the match could get underway though , Mick Foley returned in his Dude Love persona and attacked McMahon and then gave the mandible claw to Austin . The week before the event , McMahon commentated the final match , Love versus Steve Blackman , and promised not only to be at ringside during Unforgiven but a catastrophic event would occur .
