It's Time

In Your House 11: Buried Alive was the 11th In Your House professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on October 20, 1996, at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event comprised five matches shown on pay-per-view as well as three dark matches.

The main event was a Buried Alive match between The Undertaker and Mankind, which was the first-ever Buried Alive match held by the WWF. On the undercard, Sid faced Vader in a match to determine the #1 contender for the WWF Championship, and Marc Mero defended the Intercontinental Championship against Goldust. This was the first WWF pay-per-view in which the reigning world champion did not compete on-air on the show.

With the launch of the WWE Network in 2014, this show became available on demand, but did not include the three dark matches. However, the Shawn Michaels vs. Goldust match was included in the Attitude Era Unreleased DVD and Blu-ray release in 2017.
