In Your House 8: Beware of Dog is infamous for being split across two nights. A severe thunderstorm knocked out power during the live pay-per-view broadcast on May 26 in Florence, South Carolina. The WWF had to re-run the unaired matches on May 28 in North Charleston. The event featured a grueling Caribbean Strap Match between Steve Austin and Savio Vega, which forced Ted DiBiase to leave the WWF.
