King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/19/07 at 20:00:49 Monday Night RAW January 11th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Rob Bartlett. It is January 11, 1993 - the beginning of the modern cable era for professional wrestling. Monday Night Raw will break new ground in televised professional wrestling, airing live each and every week from the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios in New York City! Remember, anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation - especially when it's uncut, uncooked...and uncensored!!! With sirens blaring in the background and the raucous New York City crowd making lots of noise, Vince McMahon welcomed viewers to the very first edition of Monday Night Raw, live on the USA Network. The intimacy of the Manhattan Center, which seats approximately 1,000, looked great on camera and also provided those in attendance with an up close view of all of the action. McMahon promised a TV show tonight like none ever before seen in the wrestling world. As Vince McMahon continued to hype the show, WWF World Tag Team Champions Money Incorporated - "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster - along with their manager "The Mouth of The South" Jimmy Hart, came down to the ring for an interview. IRS branded the crowd a bunch of tax cheats. DiBiase took the mic and offer a fan $100 to come in the ring and shine their shoes. A kid ran in and did the deed but Money Inc. only gave him $30 and told the kid to get lost! As the Tag Team Champions prepared to offer more cash for members of the crowd to do other demeaning things, they were interrupted by the debuting Steiner Brothers, who made their way to the ring through the crowd! Scott Steiner said they were sick of Money Inc. running their mouths. He said that he and his brother Rick had come to the WWF for one reason - to win the titles that were currently around the waists of DiBiase and IRS. Rick Steiner dared them to put the gold on the line right now! The fans were going crazy, but Money Inc were unwilling to do so. DiBiase handed the Steiners several wads of cash to leave the arena, come back next week and they'd put the titles on the line then. The Steiners thought about it for a few seconds while they counted the money, then suddenly threw the cash into the crowd and attacked the champions! A referee sprinted down to the ring and the very first edition of Monday Night RAW began with an impromptu Tag Team Title Match!! The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) when S. Steiner pinned I.R.S. after a gutwrench suplex in 0:18:19. Rating: *** 1/4 (The Steiner Brothers won the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The crowd were in total disbelief, having just seen the WWF World Tag Team Titles change hands. The Steiners celebrated with the fans about ringside and were congratulated at the announce desk by Vince McMahon and Randy Savage. Meanwhile, Jimmy Hart led his devastated former champions back to the dressing room, swearing revenge. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan was excited at the prospect of unveiling "The Narcissist" to the entire world at the Royal Rumble. WWF President Jack Tunney made the announcement that this year's Royal Rumble would feature the stipulation where the winner gets a WWF Championship shot at WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas. Vince McMahon sold that stipulation huge and asked Randy Savage if he would be entering the Rumble this year. Savage replied, "Oooooh Yeah!!!" Yokozuna pinned Koko B. Ware with the Banzai Drop in 0:03:55. Rating: * 1/2 After Yokozuna made short work of "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware, Mr. Fuji took the mike and proclaimed that Yokozuna would win the Royal Rumble and then defeat whomever was champion for the WWF Title at WrestleMania. Vince McMahon and Randy Savage wondered who on earth could dump the 505 lb Yokozuna over the top rope. In an edition of The King's Court, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviewed WWF Intercontinental Champion "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels regarding his title defence at the Royal Rumble against former tag team partner Marty Jannetty. Michaels said that he didn't fear Jannetty, even when Lawler put it to him that Jannetty knows him better than anyone else on the planet. HBK said he'd go into the Rumble as IC Champ...and he'd leave the Rumble the same way. Bret Hart made The Berzerker submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:10:16. Rating: * 1/2 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) In the main event of the first ever edition of Monday Night RAW, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart successfully defended his championship in an extremely hard-fought encounter against The Berzerker. After the match, the man who will challenge Hart for the gold at the Royal Rumble, "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon, came out to confront the champion. Ramon threw a toothpick in Hart's face and the two men had to be separated by officials and road agents. As RAW drew to a wild and crazy close, Vince McMahon revealed that Ramon would square off against Bret's brother Owen live next week! Circuit information: The first ever edition of Monday Night RAW was an unbelievable and extremely memorable show. Televised pro wrestling will certainly never be the same again! The show got off to a crazy start, as The Steiner Brothers made their WWF debut and challenged World Tag Team Champions Money Inc to a title match. The champs seemed reluctant, so Rick and Scott gave them no choice and attacked them! The Steiners picked up the win - and the titles - when Scott avoided a briefcase shot from IRS and planted Schyster with a devastating gutwrench suplex. Money Inc - and their irritating manager Jimmy Hart - are not happy with this situation. They are complaining that they were not prepared for a title defence tonight and are determined to regain the gold at the earliest available opportunity. More on this situation when we get it, but congratulations to the Steiner Brothers. What an incredible start to their WWF career! WWF President Jack Tunney made an astonishing announcement this evening. For the first time ever, the winner of the 30-man over the top rope Royal Rumble Match will face the WWF Champion for the title in the main event of WrestleMania IX. Interest in the match has now skyrocketted like never before and with less than three weeks to go until the event, we hope to announce more and more participants for you on our upcoming shows. Already throwing their hats in the ring this evening are "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Yokozuna. Who would bet against the 505 lb former sumo star Yokozuna winning the Rumble match?? Also at the Royal Rumble, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart defends the strap against the man that oozes machismo, Razor Ramon. The two men had a confrontation tonight after THe Hitman had defeated The Berzerker as the bad blood begins to boil between these two men. What will happen next week on Monday Night RAW as Ramon faces Bret's brother Owen? Here's the current Royal Rumble card, live on January 24th from the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California, only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty Big Boss Man vs. Bam Bam Bigelow 30-man Royal Rumble Match Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania IX!** Plus...Bobby Heenan will unveil "The Narcissist"! We hope you'll join us next week for more Monday Night RAW! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/23/07 at 20:33:27 WWF Superstars January 16th, 1993 Freeman Coliseum, San Antonio, TX Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Mr. Perfect pinned Glen Ruth with the Perfect Plex in 0:04:36. Rating: During this bout, Ric Flair cut an insert promo vowing to rid the WWF of Mr. Perfect. He also said he would repeat his previous year's feat of winning the Royal Rumble. Tatanka pinned Damien DeMento with the End of the Trail in 0:06:37. Rating: 1/4 During this bout, Tatanka cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble. Doink the Clown pinned Typhoon after an inside cradle in 0:08:07. Rating: This was Doink's in ring debut and he was able to score a win against big, bad Typhoon. Doink tried to give Typhoon a present before the match, but Typhoon was having none of it. Doink pinned Typhoon with an inside cradle after nailing Typhoon with the gift box behind the referee's back. A vignette aired for Lex Luger, hyping the greatness of "The Narcissist". Crush made Duane Gill submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:04:11. Rating: 1/4 During the bout, Crush cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble. A "Special Report" was shown focusing on the WWF World Tag Team Title change from the inaugural episode of Monday Night RAW, where the debuting Steiner Brothers upset Money Inc. Jerry Lawler said that DiBiase and IRS will be his royal guests on the King's Court this Monday on RAW. Kamala pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Ugandan Splash in 0:03:52. Rating: * 3/4 During the bout, Slick cut an insert promo about Kamala appearing in the Royal Rumble. Marty Jannetty pinned Terry Taylor after a small package in 0:09:07. Rating: 1/4 [Shawn Michaels interfered against Marty Jannetty.] During the bout, Marty Jannetty cut an insert promo about facing Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Title at the Royal Rumble. Shawn Michaels came out towards the end of the match to distract Jannetty, allowing Terry Taylor to roll Jannetty up. However, Jannetty was able to reverse the hold into a small package of his own for the victory. After the match, Jannetty dared Michaels to get in the ring and fight him right there, but the Heartbreak Kid refused and retreated to the back. Circuit information: On tonight's edition of WWF Superstars, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka, Crush and Kamala all looked very impressive as we head towards the Royal Rumble. All four of those men would love to headline WrestleMania and challenge for the WWF Championship. Doink the Clown was victorious in his debut match against Typhoon, but he used questionable tactics in order to do so. Typhoon will get his chance for revenge in Rumble match, as both men will also be a part of it. Marty Jannetty scored a big victory over "Terrific" Terry Taylor tonight, picking up momentum for his shot at the Intercontinental Title against his former tag team partner Shawn Michaels at the Royal Rumble. That was despite Michaels trying to cost Jannetty the contest and get in Marty's head. Here's the current Royal Rumble card from the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California, live on January 24th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty Big Boss Man vs. Bam Bam Bigelow 30-man Royal Rumble Match** Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania IX! Plus...Bobby Heenan will unveil "The Narcissist"! We hope you'll join us this Monday for Monday Night RAW, live from New York City! The Undertaker will be in action, as well as the 8-foot tall Giant Gonzalez! Also, less than a week away from his World Title Match against Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble, Razor Ramon will battle Bret's brother Owen! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/26/07 at 22:11:25 Monday Night RAW January 18th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Razor Ramon pinned Owen Hart with the Razor's Edge in 0:08:46. Rating: 1/4 Razor Ramon picked up an impressive victory here, but he wasn't done. He scraped Owen Hart's limp carcass off the canvas and delivered a second unnecessary Razor's Edge. The crowd jeered Razor's heinous actions while Randy Savage and Vince McMahon panned him on commentary. Ramon set up Owen for yet another Razor's Edge, which brought out Bret Hart to intervene and come to the aid of his younger sibling. Ramon bailed out and backed up the aisle, warning Bret that he had six more days and then he was taking his title. An irate Hitman tended to his injured brother. Nailz pinned Jason Knight with the Carotid Choke in 0:03:05. Rating: - Nailz continued to attack the hapless Jason Knight after the bell. When Monday Night RAW came back from commercial, Nailz was still in the ring, mike in hand, challenging anyone from the back to come out and fight him. Moments later, The Undertaker came out for his match and had an intense staredown with Nailz until Sgt. Slaughter came to the ring and ordered referee Bill Alfonso to instruct Nailz to leave ringside so the next match could take place. Nailz backed off without ever taking his eyes off The Man from the Darkside. The Undertaker pinned Chris Duffy with the Tombstone in 0:04:30. Rating: * 1/2 Another vignette aired for Lex Luger, hyping up the greatness of "The Narcissist". Money Incorporated, along with their manager "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, were Jerry "The King" Lawler's guests this week in the King's Court. IRS said that The Steiner Brothers had taken advantage of Money Inc being unprepared last week and had "stolen" the World Tag Team Titles. Ted DiBiase challenged the Steiners to put the belts on the line at the Royal Rumble. The WWF World Tag Team Champions came down to the ring and accepted the challenge. Scott Steiner said he welcomed the opportunity to beat Money Inc again, this time on pay-per-view. As the Steiners left the ring, IRS clocked Scott in the back of the head with his steel briefcase! Money Inc bailed out before Rick could get his hands on them. DiBiase, IRS and Jimmy Hart laughed at what they'd done as Rick Steiner checked on his brother and swore revenge. Handicap-Match: Giant Gonzalez defeated Louie Spicolli, Mark Thomas and Tony Roy when Gonzalez defeated L. Spicolli by countout in 0:01:21. Rating: -* The 8-foot tall Giant Gonzalez won this handicap match when all three of his opponents ran backstage. Louie Spicolli was the only opponent to enter the squared circle with Gonzalez - after being pulled in - before he escaped the ring and followed his partners to the dressing room. Harvey Wippleman claimed like just like those three nobodies, everybody fears Giant Gonzalez. Wippleman proclaimed that at the Royal Rumble, one man will stand tall - the tallest man of them all - Giant Gonzalez. Just as this week's edition of Monday Night RAW was about to go off-air, Vince McMahon received word about a mystery participant that was going to enter the Royal Rumble! Vince couldn't believe who it was. Randy Savage and Bobby Heenan begged him to tell them who it was and just as Vince was about to spill the beans, the show ended!! Circuit information: The question on everybody's lips is who is the mystery entrant in the Royal Rumble match going to be?? Vince McMahon was certainly extremely excited about who it is. The only way to find out the mystery man's identity is to tune in to this Sunday's Royal Rumble, live on pay-per-view! Bret Hart will be keen to avenge tonight's beatdown on his brother Owen perpetrated by the challenger to his WWF Title this Sunday, Razor Ramon. Ramon gave Owen quite a pasting and the Hitman plans on doing the same to The Bad Guy. The Steiners have accepted Money Inc's challenge for a Tag Team Title Match at the Royal Rumble, but what condition will Scott Steiner be in? IRS got him good with that briefcase shot tonight and Scott was lucky not to suffer a concussion. What a tense staredown we had this evening between The Undertaker and the ex-convict Nailz. You could cut the atmosphere inside the Manhatten Center with a knife as Monday Night RAW came to a temporary standstill! Will their paths cross in the Royal Rumble match this Sunday? Giant Gonzalez handed in his notice after the show. He will finish up after the Royal Rumble, and he may very well stand victorious in the Rumble match if we witness a repeat of tonight's events! Here's the current Royal Rumble card, live this Sunday (January 24th) from the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California, only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty WWF World Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. Big Boss Man vs. Bam Bam Bigelow 30-man Royal Rumble Match Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania IX!

Shawn Michaels pinned Dan Dubiel with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:05:02. Rating: * 3/4 During the bout, Shawn Michaels cut an insert promo about putting his Intercontinental Title on the line against his former tag team partner Marty Jannetty at the Royal Rumble. Michaels bragged that it was he who carried The Rockers. Footage was shown of the staredown between The Undertaker and Nailz on Monday Night RAW. The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Butch defeated Beau by disqualification in 0:11:36. Rating: DUD [The Genius interfered against Bushwhacker Butch.] The Beverly Brothers were disqualified here when The Genius hit the ring and hit Butch with his metal scroll as The Bushwhackers had Beau set up for the Battering Ram. Another vignette aired for Lex Luger, hyping up the greatness of "The Narcissist". The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated El Matador and Virgil when Fatu pinned Virgil with the Flying Bodypress in 0:06:22. Rating: * 1/4 [Afa interfered against Virgil.] During the bout, an insert promo from Virgil and Tito Santana was shown plugging the upcoming Headlock on Hunger show at Madison Square Garden. A vignette aired promoting the return of Bam Bam Bigelow to the WWF. Big Boss Man defeated Papa Shango by disqualification in 0:06:53. Rating: * 1/4 Papa Shango was disqualified here for shooting sparks out his voodoo stick in the direction of the Big Boss Man. Luckily, Boss Man managed to avoid the fire. During the bout, the Boss Man cut an insert promo about facing the returning Bam Bam Bigelow at the Royal Rumble. More participants were announced for the Royal Rumble, including El Matador, Virgil, Papa Shango, The Berzerker, Rick Martel, Jim Duggan and Earthquake. Bob Backlund made Jim Brunzell submit to a sleeperhold in 0:03:26. Rating: ** 1/2 During the bout, Bob Backlund cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble. An interview aired with WWF World Champion Bret Hart regarding his title match with Razor Ramon at the Royal Rumble. Hart condemned Ramon's actions last Monday on RAW and promised payback on Sunday night. Skinner pinned Max Moon after a shoulderbreaker in 0:04:20. Skinner suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 6 cards. Rating: * 1/2 Circuit information: We are just one day away from the WWF Royal Rumble and expectation is beginning to reach fever pitch. Bob Backlund and The Headshrinkers picked up momentum tonight on Superstars before Sunday's event. Skinner was scheduled to be in the Rumble match as well but he suffered a neck injury during his match with Max Moon this evening and has had to withdraw from the event. The Shawn Michaels-Marty Jannetty bout for the Intercontinental Title at the Royal Rumble could be the sleeper match of the card. People have been waiting for this battle of the Rockers for over a year now and it should be a tremendous spectacle. The Big Boss Man scored a hard-fought victory over Papa Shango tonight, albeit by disqualification, as he goes in to the Royal Rumble to face the returning Bam Bam Bigelow. These are two of the most agile big men the World Wrestling Federation has ever seen. What will happen when these two behemoths collide this Sunday? Here's the current Royal Rumble card, live this Sunday (January 24th) from the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California, only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret Hart vs. Razor Ramon WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty WWF World Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/04/07 at 13:18:07 WWF ROYAL RUMBLE 1993 January 24th, 1993 ARCO Arena, Sacramento, California Your commentators are Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) defeated The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) when DiBiase defeated S. Steiner by countout in 0:11:17. Rating: * 1/2 (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) Money Inc defeated WWF World Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers via count-out when IRS knocked out Scott Steiner on the floor with his briefcase while Ted DiBiase and Rick Steiner brawled in the ring. IRS had cold-cocked Scott with his Halliburton as Scott chased after Jimmy Hart at ringside. Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels battled to a double pin in 0:14:26. Rating: 3/4 (Shawn Michaels retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty battled to a draw when Jannetty used an O'Connor roll on Michaels and bridged backward. However, both men's shoulders were on the canvas as referee Mike Chioda counted to three. As Jannetty argued with the official and begged for five more minutes, Michaels swiped his championship belt and made a quick getaway. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Big Boss Man with the Diving Headbutt in 0:10:16. Rating: 1/4 Bam Bam Bigelow looked extremely impressive in his return to WWF competition, defeating the Big Boss Man with a clothesline out of the corner and the headbutt off the top. Money Inc were interviewed backstage by Gene Okerlund. They were laughing about sending Scott Steiner to the hospital. IRS said that after beating the Steiners tonight, they may not be champions but they are still number one contenders. DiBiase added that next time they beat the Steiners, it'll be for the titles. Bret Hart made Razor Ramon submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:18:18. Rating: * 3/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) WWF World Champion Bret Hart retained the title against a very determined Razor Ramon with the Sharpshooter after reversing a knuckle lock into a roll up and then into his patented submission hold. Hart's parents, Stu and Helen, were featured at ringside during the contest. The "Narcissist" Lex Luger was then unveiled by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. While Heenan narrated, Luger posed before three full-length mirrors. The crowd voiced their disapproval during this segment. After several minutes of posing, Luger called out all of the WWF wrestlers, especially Mr. Perfect. "Julius Caesar" and "Cleopatra" from Caesar's Palace gave a proclamation prior to the Royal Rumble match, inviting one and all to WrestleMania IX (which will have an Ancient Rome theme) and reminding everyone that the winner of the Royal Rumble will meet the WWF Champion at the event. The Royal Rumble got off to a slow start, with no eliminations occurring until entrant number nine entered the ring - that man was Giant Gonzalez! Gonzalez wasted no time in sending bodies flying and over the course of the next five minutes, Gonzalez had disposed of nine men!! Harvey Wippleman was overjoyed at ringside, delighted with the destruction his man was creating, as Gonzalez stood in the ring alone and awaiting his next victim. The smile was wiped from Wippleman's face very quickly when it emerged that the next participant was none other than The Phenom himself, The Undertaker!! The Undertaker took apart Giant Gonzalez and quickly eliminated him with a flying clothesline, much to the delight of the capacity crowd inside the ARCO Arena! As Taker fixed his gloves and waited patiently for the next entrant, Nailz made his way down to the ring. Undertaker and Nailz picked up where they left off last week on Monday Night RAW, going nose-to-nose and staring each other down. Nailz rocked 'Taker with several stiff blows and the brawl was on! The Deadman eventually dumped Nailz some seven minutes later, but that didn't sit well with the ex-con, who returned to the ring armed with a chair and smashed 'Taker's skull in with it! Nailz clotheslined Undertaker over the top rope, eliminating him, and then whipped him full force into the steel steps. Nailz choked out the Man from the Darkside with an electrical cable before officials and road agents demanded that he go to the back. Nailz was booed out of the building. The ring began to fill up with more and more bodies. Tatanka, who entered at number 15, impressed a lot of people with his performance as he eliminated three people and lasted almost thirty minutes. Many fans thought that Crush had a great chance of winning the Rumble, but he was dumped quickly by the nefarious Jerry "The King" Lawler, who gave him a low blow while Crush was perched on the second rope and pounding Lawler with punches in the corner. Lawler was thrown out by Bob Backlund soon after and was chased back to the dressing room by the man from Kona, Hawaii! As the Royal Rumble raged on, Mr. Perfect eliminated Ric Flair and the roof almost blew off the ARCO Arena! Flair was beside himself with anger at ringside, his hopes of headlining WrestleMania now dashed by his bitter enemy. The Nature Boy then cost Perfect a WWF Title shot by pulling down the top strand as Tatanka whipped Perfect into the ropes, sending Perfect crashing to the floor! Perfect and Flair fought all the way back to the locker room area while officials tried in vain to separate them. The 27th entrant was Yokozuna, the favourite to take it all. Big Yoko got rid of Bob Backlund, Papa Shango and Jim Duggan in quick succession and the 505 lb behemoth would go on to eliminate six other superstars, including Typhoon, Earthquake, Kamala and Randy Savage. Yokozuna was soon stood in the centre of the ring, all alone, with one more participant left. We still didn't know who the mystery participant was, but we did know that he would be the next and final entrant in the Royal Rumble. Could he be the man who could lift Yokozuna over the top rope? The crowd counted down with the clock and as the buzzer sounded, the decibel level in the building exploded as HULK HOGAN made his way down to the ring!!! Hogan, making his return to the WWF, whipped the crowd into a frenzy as he entered the squared circle! Hogan shook off Yokozuna's blows and rocked him with several right hands. He signalled that he was going for a bodyslam when Mr. Fuji jumped onto the apron and threw a handful of salt into the Hulkster's eyes, blinding him! Yokozuna methodically went to work on Hogan, taking him down with a belly-to-belly suplex and squashing him with a legdrop. Yoko dragged Hogan into the corner and crushed him with the Banzai Drop. Fuji cackled at ringside and instructed his man to dump Hogan over the top. However, when Yokozuna got to his feet, Hogan popped up off the canvas and shook off the effects of Yoko's devastating finishing move! Yokozuna's punches and chops had no effect on the Hulkster! Hogan nailed Yoko with three big rights, before knocking Fuji off the apron with another punch! Hogan sent Yokozuna into the ropes and staggered him with a big boot. The fans then popped big time as Hogan shook the ring with a bodyslam on Yokozuna!!! That was the first time Yokozuna had ever been knocked off his feet in the WWF! Yokozuna gingerly used the ropes to get back to his feet and when he did, Hogan sent him crashing over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline to win the Royal Rumble and earn a WWF Title shot in the main event of WrestleMania IX!!! 30-Man Battle Royal: Hulk Hogan won a 30-man Royal Rumble: x El Matador and Martel started out. x Terry Taylor entered at 0:02:00 x The Berzerker entered at 0:04:00 x Samu entered at 0:06:00 x Koko B.

Indeed, it was one of the most incredible nights of action in World Wrestling Federation history. When the Royal Rumble match was all said and done, it was Hulk Hogan who was left standing tall as the winner of the 30-man over the top battle royal. Hogan made his WWF return tonight after a nine month absence, entering the Rumble at number 30 to do battle with the only man left in the ring, the 505 lb monster Yokozuna. Hogan became the first man to knock Yoko off his feet and then managed to oust the sumo warrior out of the ring to set up a World Title match against the WWF Champion in the main event of WrestleMania IX. Hogan will also go down in history as the first man in WWF to win three Royal Rumble matches and also the first man to draw number 30 and win the bout.

If the Hitman can hold onto the gold until WrestleMania, then it creates an interesting match up between the superstar of the 80s - Hulk Hogan - and the man who is on course to become the superstar of the 90s - Bret Hart. It is certainly a dream match for WWF fans all over the world. At one stage during the Rumble match, it appeared that it would be The Undertaker who would emerge victorious after the Deadman eliminated the mighty Giant Gonzalez from the fray. However, after the Man from the Darkside dumped the ex-convict Nailz out, Nailz returned to the ring and did a number on 'Taker, costing him his place in the match. This situation between Nailz and The Undertaker has exploded over this past week and although Nailz doesn't seem to fear the Deadman, he may end up regretting this evening's actions somewhere down the line. Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty ended up battling to a double pin in their Intercontinental Title showdown. Although he didn't win the match outright, Michaels keeps the title because the bout was ruled a draw. Jannetty wanted to wrestle for five more minutes, but the Heartbreak Kid preferred to grab his gold and run. Apparently esteemed WWF president Jack Tunney will have an announcement regarding this situation tomorrow night on Monday Night Raw, with a rematch surely on the cards. Money Inc. certainly want a rematch against the Steiner Brothers for the WWF Tag Team Titles after defeating Rick and Scott via count-out tonight. IRS sent Scott to the hospital after hitting him with his steel briefcase, where Scott was diagnosed with a minor concussion. I'm sure the Steiners are just as eager to get back in the ring with Money Inc as the former champions are with Rick and Scott. This is a rivalry that is far from over. Bobby Heenan introduced the world to "The Narcissist" Lex Luger tonight, who took great delight in showing off his impressive physique to the crowd. Luger made some very braggadocios comments that have upset many members of the locker room. We'll see if Luger can back up what he says, starting tomorrow night live on Monday Night Raw. We hope you enjoyed the 1993 WWF Royal Rumble and that you'll join us tomorrow night, live from the Manhattan Center for Monday Night Raw! Till then, so long everybody!!
blslivewire	Posted on 08/05/07 at 02:46:57 Did you have to book anything in the Rumble or did or work out that well on it's own?
The TNM Members Champ	Posted on 08/05/07 at 06:28:20 You're doing a wonderful job in re-creating the time period of 1993. Hogan versus Hart at WrestleMania IX would've been a huge draw. Especially if the WWE used your promotion of the greatest draw of the 80's versus the present and future of pro wrestling in Bret Hart.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/06/07 at 22:24:25 Monday Night RAW January 25th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Monday Night RAW began with an opening segment in which Repo Man stole "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's 2x4. Duggan challenged Repo to a match later in the show. Doink the Clown pinned Reno Riggins with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:04:28. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, Doink threw a pie in Riggins' face. Jerry "The King" Lawler invited Crush down to the ring as his guest on this week's edition of the King's Court. The ring was decked out with palm trees and there was a table with coconuts, bananas, pineapples and a giant platter of food which included meat, seafood, rice and salad. Lawler said he wanted Crush to feel at home and apologised for eliminating Crush from the Royal Rumble. Lawler understood that Crush was mad with him (Lawler had used a low blow on Crush to dump him out of the Rumble). Crush was seething with anger at the King. Lawler tried for a handshake, but Crush picked up a pineapple and crushed it with his bare hands. Lawler attempted to shake Crush's hand again, but this time Crush squashed a coconut! Lawler gulped and tried once more to shake hands, but Crush grabbed him by the throat! Lawler grabbed a glass of pineapple juice and threw it in Crush's eyes, blinding him! Lawler then cracked the metal food platter over Crush's head and drove him into the mat with a piledriver! The King was being booed out of the building as he drilled Crush with a second piledriver. Lawler was going to go for a third piledriver when Randy Savage left the commentary position and hit the ring, running Lawler off. Savage checked on his good friend Crush while the beaming Lawler retreated to the back. Lex Luger pinned Jim Powers with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:02:54. Rating: * 3/4 Lex Luger effortlessly defeated Jim Powers with the running forearm, adding further insult to injury by pinning him with his pinky. After the bout, Luger dragged Powers in front of his full length mirror on the floor and insulted him before throwing him down. Powers was looked over by EMTs before he came to. Razor Ramon pinned Gary Scott with the Razor's Edge in 0:03:08. Rating: * 1/4 Razor Ramon succeeded in regaining some of his edge - no pun intended - in this squash over Gary Scott. Razor mercilessly pounded the hapless Scott and following the match the Bad Guy made it clear that he wants another shot at Bret Hart's title. Stills were shown of some of the highlights of last night's Royal Rumble match. It was announced that Rumble winner Hulk Hogan would appear on next week's show. Jim Duggan pinned Repo Man after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:09:45. Rating: ** 1/2 Prior to this bout, Repo Man came to the ring in possession of Duggan's 2x4 which he had stolen earlier in the show. Duggan had Repo in trouble during the match and Repo grabbed his tow rope to try and use the metal hook on Duggan. The referee prevented Repo from using it and threw it out of the ring, which allowed Hacksaw to snatch his 2x4. Duggan jabbed Repo in the gut with it and then blasted him across the back, enabling him to pick up the easy pinfall. The show closed with an announcement from WWF president Jack Tunney, in which he revealed that following the controversial finish in their match at the Royal Rumble, he had booked a rematch between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty for the Intercontinental Title on next week's show! The commentary team sold that announcement big time as Monday Night RAW went off air. Circuit information: The road to WrestleMania IX begins tonight. As we get closer to the big event, every single WWF superstar will be holding nothing back in the hope of getting a spot on the card. Razor Ramon bounced back from his loss to Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble with a convincing performance this evening. He'll have done his chances at securing a rematch with the Hitman no harm at all. Lex Luger looked impressive in his WWF debut tonight, but there'll be sterner tests ahead for "The Narcissist". We'll find out just how good he really is in the weeks and months ahead. Jerry "The King" Lawler carried out a sickening and savage beating on Kona, Hawaii's own Crush tonight in the King's Court. Crush will be anxious to get his hands on Lawler and perhaps crush him in the same manner that he demonstrated on the pineapple and the coconut. It will be interesting to hear what Hulk Hogan has to say next week regarding WrestleMania and his shot at the WWF Title. We are scheduled to hear from WWF Champion Bret Hart this coming weekend on Superstars. We hope you'll join us this Saturday night at Madison Square Garden for the Headlock on Hunger benefit show. Also, next week live on Monday Night RAW, Shawn Michaels puts his Intercontinental Title on the line against Marty Jannetty in a rematch from the Royal Rumble. Plus, Native American Tatanka will be in action and we'll have that exclusive interview with The Hulkster! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/10/07 at 21:13:26 WWF Superstars January 30th, 1993 Expo Center, Green Bay, WI Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Ross Greenberg with the Diving Headbutt in 0:02:55. Rating: * Comments aired from WWF World Champion Bret Hart where he said he would worry about facing Hulk Hogan when it got closer to WrestleMania. The Hitman almost came across as dismissive of Hogan here. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) defeated Barry Horowitz and Mike Sharpe when DiBiase defeated Iron Mike when Iron Mike passed out in the Million Dollar Dream in 0:07:52. Rating: * 1/2 During this bout, Rick Steiner cut an insert promo vowing revenge against Money Inc. for putting his brother Scott in the hospital with a concussion. Yokozuna pinned Barry Hardy with the Banzai Drop in 0:03:18. Rating: -* 3/4 After making short work of Barry Hardy, Yokozuna climbed back up to the second turnbuckle and delivered another Banzai drop to show he means business. Mr. Fuji then took the microphone and claimed that Hulk Hogan had stolen Yokozuna's spot in the main event of WrestleMania. Rick Martel defeated Glen Ruth when Glen Ruth passed out in the Boston Crab in 0:05:00. Rating: During this bout, Randy Savage phoned in and lambasted Jerry Lawler on commentary for his attack on Crush on Monday Night RAW. Lawler hung up on Savage. Ric Flair defeated Chris Duffy when Chris Duffy passed out in the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:03:34. Rating: 3/4 During this bout, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo stating that the WWF wasn't big enough for he and Ric Flair. Bob Backlund pinned The Berzerker after a fisherman suplex in 0:08:02. Rating: ** Circuit information: Money Inc are determined to secure a rematch for the WWF Tag Team Titles and from his comments tonight on Superstars, Rick Steiner is very eager to give it to them. Rick wants to get his hands on Ted DiBiase and IRS for concussing his brother Scott, while Money Inc want to reclaim the belts that they feel the Steiners stole from them. Another man who is not happy is Yokozuna. Fuji ranted this evening that Hulk Hogan took Yokozuna's spot in the main event of WrestleMania, which does not sit well with the former sumo star. The entire World Wrestling Federation better brace itself for the wrath of Yokozuna. From Mr. Perfect's comments tonight, you get the impression that the bitter feud between Perfect and Ric Flair will only end when one man is forced out of the WWF for good. Perfect will be in action on RAW this Monday night. Will Flair show up as well? Monday Night RAW is shaping up to be a big one this coming week. We'll have comments from the one and only Hulk Hogan regarding his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania - how will he feel about what Bret Hart said tonight on Superstars? Also, fresh off his impressive performance in the Royal Rumble, Tatanka will be in action plus, we'll bring you the much anticipated rematch for the Intercontinental Title between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty! Till then, so long everybody!
Memphis_Vice	Posted on 08/12/07 at 21:54:10 Chris Duffy and Barry Hardy...wow. I want your jobbers. ;D I'd forgotten all about Chris Duffy. Don't remember Ross Greenberg though.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/13/07 at 12:24:31 WWF @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden January 30th, 1993 Headlock on Hunger benefit show The show featured a 15-minute segment where WWF World Champion Bret Hart, flanked by all the heels and faces, presented the Red Cross with a giant cheque for $100,000. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated High Energy (Koko B. Ware and Owen Hart) when Fatu pinned Koko with the Flying Bodypress in 0:12:28. Rating: 1/4 [Afa interfered against Owen Hart.] [Afa interfered against Koko B. Ware.] Bob Backlund defeated Shawn Michaels by countout in 0:18:21.

Rating: Mr. Perfect defeated Razor Ramon by disqualification in 0:10:12. Rating: * [Ric Flair interfered against Mr. Perfect.] Mr. Perfect had Razor Ramon pinned with the Perfect Plex when Ric Flair came out and pulled the official out of the ring, causing the disqualification. Flair and Ramon did a number on Perfect after the match; Bret Hart made the save. The Undertaker pinned Papa Shango after a choke slam in 0:06:07. Rating: 1/4 Iron Man Match: Bret Hart beat Ric Flair 3 falls to 2: x B. Hart beat Flair via a rolling reverse cradle in 0:27:11 x Flair beat B. Hart via the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:38:10 x Flair beat B. Hart via the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:41:17 x B. Hart beat Flair via the Sharpshooter in 0:51:17 x B. Hart beat Flair via a small package in 0:59:49 x time limit expired (Flair and B. Hart) in 1:00:00 Rating: * 3/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Bobby Heenan interfered against Bret Hart.] Bobby Heenan came out of retirement to manage Ric Flair as the Nature Boy challenged for the WWF Title. Fall #1 - Hart pinned Flair with a waistlock into a roll up; Fall #2 - Flair defeated Hart via submission with the figure-four and by holding onto the top rope for leverage (during the fall, the referee ordered Heenan backstage); Fall #3 - Flair defeated Hart via submission with the figure-four and by holding onto the bottom rope for leverage; Fall #4 - Hart defeated Flair via submission with the Sharpshooter; Fall #5 - At the beginning of the fall, Heenan returned to the ring to hand Flair a pair of brass knuckles - which ended up being used on the champion - before once again being ejected from ringside. However, Mr. Perfect came out and showed the official the brass knuckles that Flair had used to knock out the champion. Flair protested his innocence to the referee, but as the official threatened to disqualify Flair, the Nature Boy was cradled by the Hitman for the three count with just over ten seconds of the match remaining. Card rating: ***
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/14/07 at 12:16:19 Monday Night RAW February 1st, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels battled to a double countout in 0:18:41. Rating: *** 1/2 (Shawn Michaels retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Former tag team partners and now bitter rivals Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty once again went to a draw in their Intercontinental Title match-up. After nearly twenty minutes of fast-paced action, the bout spilled to the floor. Ignoring the referee's ten count, Michaels and Jannetty went at it, culminating in Jannetty superkicking Michaels over the guardrail and into the crowd. Both men were counted out and the match was declared a draw, so just like at the Royal Rumble Michaels retains his title. When RAW returned from commercial, Marty Jannetty was in the ring, mike in hand. He asked the referee to restart the match so he and Shawn Michaels could settle things once and for all. The crowd voiced their approval. However, The Heartbreak Kid snatched his IC Title belt from the timekeeper and left through the crowd, clearly disinterested in continuing the bout. Jannetty chased Michaels through the crowd. Yokozuna pinned Jason Knight with the Banzai Drop in 0:03:51. Rating: -* 1/2 After Yokozuna made mincemeat out of Jason Knight, Mr. Fuji told Yoko to go up and squash Knight with another devastating Banzai drop. Yokozuna complied with his manager's wishes. Knight was stretchered to the back. Tatanka pinned Terry Taylor with the End of the Trail in 0:03:52. Terry Taylor tore his left ACL. He will be out for approximately 6 cards. Rating: * 3/4 The announcers put over the amazing roll Tatanka has been on lately, as the Native American continues to remain undefeated. Footage was shown of a pre-taped interview of Vince McMahon with Hulk Hogan, with Hogan saying everyone should believe in themselves and believe in the Hulkster. Hogan thanked the fans for their support they gave him during the Royal Rumble and asked for their support again when he faces Bret Hart at WrestleMania. Hogan put over the Hitman as the best technical wrestler in the world and said that he was facing up to the toughest match of his career at Mania, but the Hulkster added that he was confident he could capture the WWF Title for a fifth time at Caesar's Palace. Vince McMahon announced that in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW, Hulk Hogan and WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart would sign the contract for their WWF Title Match at WrestleMania IX. Mr. Perfect pinned L.A. Gore with the Perfect Plex in 0:04:47. Rating: * 3/4 After the bout, Razor Ramon assaulted Mr. Perfect on the floor, hitting him with a chair and twice throwing him into the ring post. Ric Flair then appeared and gave Ramon a high five in the aisle. Perfect had to be helped to the back. Vince McMahon revealed that Jerry "The King" Lawler had refused to present an edition of the King's Court this week as WWF officials couldn't guarantee his safety with "Macho Man" Randy Savage in the building. Savage was seething with anger at Lawler following the King's brutal attack on Crush last week. Savage begrudgingly agreed not to get involved next week when Lawler is in action. Typhoon defeated Papa Shango by disqualification in 0:08:51. Rating: * 1/4 Papa Shango was disqualified when he used his voodoo stick to spray sparks into Typhoon's face. After the bout, Shango attacked Typhoon with the stick but Typhoon eventually cleared him from the ring. As the show drew to a close, Vince McMahon plugged next week's show which will have Lex Luger and Jerry "The King" Lawler both competing in singles action. Vince received word in his ear that Jack Tunney would have two big announcements next week as Monday Night RAW went off-air! Circuit information: So what will Jack Tunney's two huge announcements be?? You'll have to tune in next week to find out! Again, there was no winner between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty tonight in the battle of the Rockers over the Intercontinental Title. Most WWF fans would love to see these two go at it one final time, but they know each other so well that you wonder if there'll ever be a clear winner between the two. Michaels has been lucky to escape with his title each time they have met and is extremely unenthusiastic to lock up with Jannetty again. Yokozuna is taking out his anger on every opponent he faces. Tonight, he sent poor Jason Knight to the hospital. Yokozuna wants a WWF Title shot sooner rather than later and will crush anything that blocks his path on the road to getting it. Tatanka has impressed many WWF officials with his recent performances, not least his 30 minute showing at the Royal Rumble, and must now be a lock for the WrestleMania card. Razor Ramon did a number on Mr. Perfect after Perfect's match tonight and the Bad Guy was greeted by an elated Ric Flair afterward. You can rest assured that Perfect won't let this one lie. "Terrific" Terry Taylor tore his left anterior cruciate ligament tonight and will very likely miss WrestleMania. This is a very serious knee injury and we wish Taylor all the best in his recovery. We'll see you next week for more Monday Night RAW! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/17/07 at 10:55:43 WWF Superstars February 6th, 1993 Expo Center, Green Bay, WI Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Doink the Clown defeated Kamala by countout in 0:06:28. Rating: * 3/4 Kamala was counted out in this match when Doink distracted the Ugandan Giant with a present on the arena floor. After opening the empty box, Kamala hit a number of chops and a splash before chasing Doink backstage. High Energy (Koko B. Ware and Owen Hart) defeated Dan Dubiel and Duane Gill when O. Hart pinned D. Gill with the Rocket Launcher in 0:10:00. Rating: ** 1/4 Footage was shown of Jerry Lawler's vicious attack on Crush on the King's Court two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. Lawler said that Randy Savage better stay out of his way when the King wrestles this Monday on RAW. Virgil defeated Brooklyn Brawler via pinfall in 0:04:19. Rating: * 1/4 Backstage, Shawn Michaels was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Michaels addressed the rumours about Jack Tunney granting Marty Jannetty one final shot at the Intercontinental Title, saying that Jannetty had failed to beat him twice and didn't deserve another crack at his title. The first WrestleMania IX Report aired in which it was announced that in addition to the WWF Title Match between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker would face Nailz at the event. Nailz pinned Tony Roy with the Carotid Choke in 0:04:43. Rating: -** 1/4 During the match, two druids left a black wreath for Nailz at ringside. Following his destruction of Tony Roy, Nailz tore up the wreath. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) defeated Barry Hardy and Glen Ruth when Sags pinned B. Hardy with the Flying Elbowdrop in 0:09:06. Rating: * 3/4 Circuit information: It was confirmed this evening that The Undertaker and Nailz will face off at WrestleMania. Nailz had a black wreath delivered to him during the course of his match tonight on Superstars, which didn't sit well with the ex-con. Nailz tore the wreath to shreds as the mind games begin. We hope you'll join us next week for Monday Night RAW, where Jerry "The King" Lawler has agreed to wrestle after being guaranteed that Randy Savage will not lay a finger on him. Savage is livid with Lawler for The King's assault on Crush two weeks ago. Also, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will be in action and we will also have those two huge announcements from WWF President Jack Tunney! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/18/07 at 22:01:32 Monday Night RAW February 8th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Jerry "The King" Lawler came out for his match to open the show. Randy Savage had promised to be on his best behaviour and not get involved in Lawler's match. However, Lawler walked out after a chant of 'Burger King' began. Lex Luger pinned Tim Horner with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:01:23. Rating: ** After the bout, Lex Luger dragged Tim Horner in front of his full length mirror on the floor and insulted him before throwing him down. Luger then cut a promo saying he had only heard 'Perfect silence' after he challenged Mr. Perfect to a match. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) and The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) battled to a double countout in 0:13:05. Rating: * 1/2 The Nasty Boys fought the Headshrinkers to a double count-out at around the 13-minute mark when all four men began brawling in the concession area and ended up having a food fight. A pre-recorded Paul Bearer promo in a graveyard was shown. Bearer warned Nailz that he will wish that he was still locked up in his prison cell when The Undertaker gets through with him. Once again, Jerry "The King" Lawler came out for his match and once again he left after the "Burger King" chant started up. Big Boss Man pinned Jim Brunzell with the Boss Man Slam in 0:02:49. Rating: * 1/2 WWF President Jack Tunney made his two huge announcements. First, he booked one final match between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty for the Intercontinental Title to take place live on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW. This time though, it will be contested under best two-out-of-three falls. Tunney then reminded everyone that the contract signing for the main event of WrestleMania IX between WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Hulk Hogan would be live on next week's show. Tunney added that he would also give Hart and Hogan the chance to "Pick Your Poison", which meant that they could select an opponent for each other in singles matches to be contested in three weeks' time! A WrestleMania IX report aired in which it was announced that Jerry "The King" Lawler would face Crush on the show. Jerry Lawler pinned Jim Powers with the Piledriver in 0:04:58. Rating: *** Lawler was finally able to compete tonight and finished off Jim Powers with a piledriver after five minutes. After the bout, Vince McMahon conducted a ringside interview with Lawler in which Lawler made several comments directed at Randy Savage. Savage responded by standing up from his commentary seat but the show ended before anything else occurred. Circuit information: After next week it will all be official - Bret "Hitman" Hart will defend his WWF Title against Royal Rumble winner and number one contender Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania IX. It certainly is a dream encounter and Jack Tunney has decided to spice up the contract signing with the special "Pick your Poison" stipulation. It means that Hart can pick any opponent of his choosing for Hogan to face in a singles match, and vice versa, in three weeks' time on Monday Night RAW. This poses some very interesting possibilities and gives an ideal opportunity for each man to soften the other up just weeks away from WrestleMania. We're scheduled to get the thoughts of the Hitman this weekend on Superstars. After their confrontation tonight, "Macho Man" Randy Savage has vowed to show up on Superstars to face Jerry "The King" Lawler. Savage promised not to lay a finger on Lawler tonight, but will make no such promises ahead of this weekend! Next week on RAW, Shawn Michaels defends the Intercontinental Title one final time against Marty Jannetty in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match. Sources tell me that Michaels is less than pleased with this announcement, while Jannetty feels this is his opportunity to finally get the job done and capture his first piece of WWF championship gold. Lex Luger is still to get a response from Mr. Perfect after his constant goading. Perfect is tied up with his issues with Ric Flair and Razor Ramon at present, but I'm sure he'll deal with The Narcissist in due course. The Nasty Boys and The Headshrinkers had a wild and crazy brawl tonight that ended up in the concession stands! I have the feeling that the situation between these two teams is not over just yet. We hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where we'll hear from WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and we'll also have comments from both participants in next week's Intercontinental Title Match. Also, Bam Bam Bigelow will be in action and Razor Ramon squares off against Typhoon! Till then, so long everybody!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/23/07 at 20:56:45 WWF Superstars February 13th, 1993 San Jose State Event Center, San Jose, CA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Razor Ramon pinned Typhoon after an elbowdrop in 0:08:19. Rating: ** Razor Ramon defeated Typhoon following several elbowdrops after Typhoon had missed a splash. During the bout, Mr. Perfect watched the match from the interview platform and afterwards, Ramon grabbed the microphone and challenged Perfect to come to ringside. As Perfect made his way towards the ring, Ric Flair attacked him from behind. Razor then gave a cheap shot to Perfect with the microphone and Flair hit him with a chair. Perfect was able to fight back and brawled backstage with his two assailants as officials tried in vain to separate them. Comments aired from Marty Jannetty regarding his 2/3 Falls Match with Shawn Michaels in two days' time on Monday Night RAW. Jannetty said that Michaels was lucky to escape with the gold on the last two occasions, but vowed that it would be third time unlucky for the Heartbreak Kid. El Matador pinned Barry Hardy with the El Paso del Muerte in 0:06:27. Rating: * 1/4 As Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Lawler's match with Crush at WrestleMania, "Macho Man" Randy Savage stormed the announcers' table and went after Lawler. Vince held Savage back as Savage challenged Lawler to a match in two weeks on Monday Night RAW, promising to make Lawler pay for his attack on Crush. Lawler begrudgingly accepted the match and then instructed security to throw Savage out of the arena. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Mike Bucci with the Diving Headbutt in 0:05:44. Rating: * An interview with Shawn Michaels was shown in which he implied that Marty Jannetty was bribing WWF President Jack Tunney in order to get so many shots at Michaels' Intercontinental Title. Michaels bragged that he would beat Jannetty in two straight falls on Monday and then Jannetty would never get another shot at the belt ever again. Earthquake pinned Tony DeVito with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:03:53. Rating: -1/2* Footage of a pre-recorded interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was shown. The Hitman said that he was looking forward to putting pen to paper on Monday night and making his title defence with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania official. Hart said that he respects Hogan, but branded him a "cartoon character" and told Hogan to get serious because he is in for the fight of his life at WrestleMania. Hart referred to himself as "the best wrestler that Hogan has ever faced" and vowed to make the Hulkster submit to the Sharpshooter, just like everybody else has. The Hitman revealed that he loved the "Pick Your Poison" stipulation but would not be drawn on who he was choosing as Hogan's opponent. Damien DeMento pinned Russ Greenberg with the Kneedrop in 0:04:04. Rating: DUD Just as the show was about to go off air, Bam Bam Bigelow and Earthquake had a confrontation backstage. Bigelow said that he was the best big man in the WWF and challenged Earthquake to a match next week in order to prove it. Earthquake gladly accepted and the two went nose-to-nose as the show finished. Circuit information: Bret "Hitman" Hart had some stern words for Hulk Hogan tonight ahead of the contract signing this Monday night. It will be interesting to see how the Hulkster responds to being branded a "cartoon character". It is true that Hogan has not met anyone who boasts the technical excellence of the Hitman before and I am intrigued as to how Hogan will combat that. Mr. Perfect was attacked again tonight by the nefarious duo of Ric Flair and Razor Ramon. My sources tell me that Mr. Perfect has had about all he can take and will have a message for Ramon and the Nature Boy this week on Monday Night RAW. Crush is currently back in Kona, Hawaii, convalescing from the attack he suffered at the hands of Jerry "The King" Lawler. But you can bet that he will enjoy it when Randy Savage takes on Lawler in a fortnight on RAW. Savage is determined to make Lawler pay for what he did to his friend Crush. This Monday night on RAW, Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty will meet for the final time for the Intercontinental Title in a two out of three falls match. If this bout is half as good as their previous two, then you're in for a treat! Don't miss it! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/26/07 at 13:31:07 Monday Night RAW February 15th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Two-out-of-three-Falls Match: Shawn Michaels beat Marty Jannetty 2 falls to 1: x Michaels beat Jannetty via pinfall in 0:08:33 x Jannetty beat Michaels via a flying fistdrop in 0:14:08 x Michaels beat Jannetty via an inside cradle in 0:23:04 Rating: *** 1/2 (Shawn Michaels retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Marty Jannetty came up just a little bit short once again in his final opportunity to take the Intercontinental Title from his former tag team partner Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid won the first fall when he pinned Jannetty with his feet on the ropes. Jannetty tied it up at one fall a piece when he connected with a fistdrop from the top rope. However, Michaels took the third and deciding fall when he rolled Jannetty up after Jannetty had collided with the steel ringpost when he missed a charge into the corner. The appreciative fans gave Jannetty a standing ovation after the match for his efforts. As Monday Night RAW returned from commercial Mr. Perfect made his way down to the ring for an interview with Vince McMahon. Perfect said it was time that his feud with Ric Flair came to an end for good. Perfect said that the only way this could be achieved was if one of them left the WWF forever. Perfect challenged Flair to a career vs. career match on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania. Ric Flair emerged from the back and said that if Perfect wanted the chance to run the Nature Boy out of the company, he'd have to earn it. Flair said that Perfect could have the match if Perfect could defeat Razor Ramon in a one-on-one encounter. As Perfect bragged that he could beat Ramon any day of the week, The Bad Guy came through the crowd and jumped Perfect from behind! Ramon and Flair put the boots to Perfect, before Ramon laid out Perfect with a Razor's Edge in the aisle. Tatanka pinned Rick Martel with the End of the Trail in 0:00:34. Rating: * Tatanka blitzed through his arch nemesis "The Model" Rick Martel with a flurry of Tomahawk chops, including one off the top, and a Samoan drop for an amazing win in just over thirty seconds. After the bout, the undefeated Native American signalled that he wants gold around his waist. Vince McMahon announced that "Macho Man" Randy Savage would face Jerry "The King" Lawler one-on-one live next week. The commentary team then conducted an interview with Crush, who was on the beach in Hawaii, during which he picked up a coconut and crushed it in his hands as an example of what he would do to Jerry Lawler at WrestleMania. WWF President Jack Tunney and "Mean" Gene Okerlund waited patiently for Bret "Hitman" Hart and Hulk Hogan, WWF Champion and challenger for the title at WrestleMania respectively, to make their entrances in order to sign the contract and make their showdown at the biggest show on earth official. The crowd were going crazy at the sight of Hogan and the Hitman in the ring at the same time, with crowd support split for the two most popular superstars on the WWF roster. Hart kissed his championship belt and laid it on the table before both men took their seats. Hogan and Hart only took their eyes off each other to sign the contract. Tunney proclaimed that we now had our WrestleMania IX main event - Bret Hart vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship - and said he hoped that the best man wins. Hulk Hogan took the mike and said that Bret Hart was in for the fight of his life when he goes up against this "cartoon character" - alluding to the phrase that the Hitman had used to describe the Hulkster. Hogan said that they are billing this match "The Superstar of the 80s vs. The Superstar of the 90s". The Hulkster added that he's already the superstar of the 80s and when he beats the Hitman for the title at Mania, he'll be well on the way to becoming the superstar of the 90s as well. The Hitman smirked as Mean Gene handed him the mike. Bret said that Hogan had never faced someone like the Excellence of Execution before and that at WrestleMania it would be Hogan who would be "excellently executed". The Hitman said that Hogan's time in the sun was over and if the Hulkster wasn't ready to pass the torch, then he'd rip it out of hands in Las Vegas. That comment brought Hulk Hogan out of his chair and the two men went nose-to-nose. The atmosphere in the building was electric. Mean Gene pleaded for cooler heads to prevail. Jack Tunney said that business was not yet concluded and asked both superstars to "Pick their Poison", which constituted choosing an opponent from anybody on the WWF roster for the other in a singles bout to be held in two weeks' time live on Monday Night RAW. Bret Hart said that after thinking long and hard about it, he was going to choose an opponent for Hulk Hogan that the Hulkster had never beaten - "Nature Boy" Ric Flair! Hogan smiled and said that his pick was the man that gave Hogan the fight of his life at the Royal Rumble - Yokozuna! The fans seemed delighted at both choices as Jack Tunney made both bouts official. In two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW, it will be Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair and Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna!!! Mean Gene asked for a handshake between both men in the spirit of good sportsmanship. Hogan and Hart seemed reluctant as they looked out into the crowd for approval. Eventually they shook hands while glaring at one another. The Hitman tried to walk away but Hogan pulled him back in and said something to him that was inaudible to the viewers at home. Then as Hogan went to leave, Hart pulled him back and gave Hogan a warning out of earshot. Both champion and challenger stared each other down as RAW went off-air. Circuit information: It's now all official. The is have been dotted and the ts crossed. Bret Hart will defend the World Wrestling Federation Championship against Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania IX in Las Vegas. It truly is the Superstar of the Eighties vs. the Superstar of the Nineties and what a match this promises to be. We saw tonight that both men are ready and I wouldn't like to try and pick a winner for that one. The "Pick Your Poison" stipulation that Jack Tunney threw in is an intriguing one and makes you wonder what kind of shape the Hitman and the Hulkster will be in come Mania. We are giving away two pay-per-view quality matches on free TV in two weeks' time when Bret Hart faces Yokozuna and Hulk Hogan squares off against Ric Flair. Cancel all your plans for Monday evening on 1st March. You will not want to miss this show! Mr. Perfect laid out the challenge to Ric Flair tonight for a career vs. career match at WrestleMania. However, Flair will only agree to the match if Perfect can defeat Flair's running buddy Razor Ramon in a singles match. Well, the bout has been signed and if Perfect wants to succeed in his quest to rid the WWF of the Nature Boy, then he must beat The Bad Guy in three weeks' time on Monday Night RAW. Marty Jannetty put in a great effort but in his third and final Intercontinental Title Match with Shawn Michaels he failed to wrest the title away from the Heartbreak Kid. It was a tremendous two out of three falls contest between two incredible athletes but in the end Michaels was one step ahead and he managed to come out on top. But who will be next to challenge Michaels for the gold? Tatanka staked his claim tonight by running through Rick Martel in just thirty four seconds - and Martel is no pushover. Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX is shaping up: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush We hope you'll join us next week for more Monday Night RAW where Ric Flair will be in action, plus "Macho Man" Randy Savage gets the chance for some retribution for his good friend Crush when Savage goes one-on-one with Jerry "The King" Lawler. Also, don't miss Superstars this weekend where Razor Ramon and Money Incorporated will be in action, plus Bam Bam Bigelow faces Earthquake! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/26/07 at 13:36:04 WWF Superstars February 20th, 1993 San Jose State Event Center, San Jose, CA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with opening comments from Earthquake and Bam Bam Bigelow regarding their match later in the show. Papa Shango pinned Rich Myers after an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle in 0:02:21. Rating: 1/2* Pre-recorded comments from Tatanka were shown in which he challenged WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels to a match. Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Lawler's upcoming match with Randy Savage this Monday on RAW. Lawler said he would squash Savage just like he did that "pineapple head" Crush. Lawler added that Savage could join Crush on the beach in Hawaii and they could recuperate together. The Berzerker defeated Skull Von Krush by countout in 0:04:58. Rating: 3/4* A Hulk Hogan interview was shown in which he expressed delight at his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania being made official this past Monday night. Hogan said he respects Bret Hart's talents and called him the best technical wrestler in the world today. Hogan added that his technical excellence will get the Hitman nowhere when he goes up against the Hulkster and seventeen thousand Hulkamaniacs at WrestleMania. Hogan said that the Hitman likes to call himself the most fighting WWF Champion of all time. The Hulkster claimed that if that is the case, then Hart should put his WWF Title on the line in his Pick Your Poison match with Yokozuna. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) defeated P.J. Walker and Tony DeVito when I.R.S. made Walker submit to the Penalty in 0:08:13. Rating: * 3/4 During this match, Money Inc cut an insert promo in which they disingenuously wished Scott Steiner a speedy recovery from his concussion and challenged the Steiners to put the WWF Tag Team Titles on the line at WrestleMania. Razor Ramon pinned Phil Apollo with the Razor's Edge in 0:04:31. Rating: * During the bout, Razor Ramon cut an insert promo vowing to beat Mr. Perfect in three weeks' time on Monday Night RAW. He dedicated the match to his good friend Ric Flair. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Earthquake with the Diving Headbutt in 0:09:04. Rating: * 1/4 Circuit information: Lots of challenges laid down tonight on Superstars. Hulk Hogan has dared Bret Hart to prove that he is in fact a fighting champion and defend the WWF Championship against Yokozuna on Monday Night RAW in two weeks. Is it possible that Hogan would rather face Yokozuna for the title at WrestleMania than Bret Hart? The Hulkster seems to be playing mind games with Hart, but how will the Hitman respond on RAW this week? Tatanka, who has been on a tremendous run of form as of late, challenged Shawn Michaels to a match tonight. We can reveal that Jack Tunney has listened and the two men will square off in a non-title match right here on Superstars next week. If Tatanka is victorious then he will surely guarantee himself an Intercontinental Title shot somewhere down the line. Money Inc also want gold and they have challenged the Steiner Brothers to put the WWF Tag Team Titles on the line at WrestleMania. The Steiners are desperate to get revenge on DiBiase and IRS for sending Scott to the hospital. Speaking of Scott Steiner, he is scheduled to return to the ring in two weeks. Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX is shaping up: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where Ric Flair will be in action, plus "Macho Man" Randy Savage get the chance for revenge for his good friend Crush when Savage goes one-on-one with Jerry "The King" Lawler. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/29/07 at 19:56:29 Monday Night RAW February 22nd, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Randy Savage defeated Jerry Lawler by countout in 0:14:21. Rating: ** 3/4 Following the bout, Randy Savage challenged Jerry Lawler to continue the fight but Lawler left the ring. However, Lawler was to be forced back into the ring by Crush, making his return after the vicious beating he suffered at the hands of Lawler. Moments thereafter, Savage dropped the flying elbow and Crush made the unofficial three count. Lex Luger pinned Duane Gill with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:03:30. Rating: * 3/4 After the bout, Lex Luger dragged Duane Gill in front of his full length mirror and insulted him before throwing him down. The commentators put over how devastating Luger's forearm is as he keeps chalking up the wins. An interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was shown in which he revealed that he had listened to Hulk Hogan's challenge and agreed to put the WWF Title on the line against Yokozuna next week. Hart added that if Hogan feels he is such a big man, then Hogan should also put something at stake against Ric Flair. The Hitman suggested that Hogan should put up his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania! Ric Flair pinned Mike Sharpe after a fisherman suplex in 0:03:46. Rating: ** 1/2 Ric Flair used the Perfect Plex to pick up the win tonight as a direct insult to Mr. Perfect. After the bout, Flair said he looked forward to watching Razor Ramon take out Mr. Perfect in two weeks. A vignette aired promoting the debut of "The Creation of Devastation" Adam Bomb. Bomb had survived the nuclear incident on Three Mile Island, but is forced to wear goggles as a result of the radiation he had absorbed. In addition, Bomb has apparently gained super-size and super-strength. Bob Backlund defeated Doink the Clown by disqualification in 0:10:47. Rating: * 3/4 Bob Backlund was victorious over Doink the Clown by disqualification when Doink attacked Backlund with his umbrella as Backlund attempted a cover. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan closed the show by building up next week's Pick Your Poison matches, which will see WWF Champion Bret Hart defend his title against Yokozuna and Hulk Hogan go one-on-one with Ric Flair on the biggest edition of Monday Night RAW to date. Circuit information: So Bret Hart has agreed to defend the WWF Title against Yokozuna with just over a month to go until WrestleMania. Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji are obviously delighted at this, as they feel that their title shot was stolen from them by Hulk Hogan at the Royal Rumble. Will it be Yokozuna who goes to Las Vegas as WWF Champion?? Also, now that the Hitman has put something at stake next week, will the Hulkster follow suit? Hart has suggested that Hogan puts his WrestleMania WWF Title shot on the line against Ric Flair. One thing is certain and that is that you do not want to miss next week's edition of Monday Night RAW. You'll get two pay-per-view calibre matches - including a WWF Title Match - for free!!! Crush made his return from injury and was able to get his hands on Jerry "The King" Lawler, hurling Lawler back in the ring so Randy Savage could finish the job. Lawler is fuming at Crush and will surely have something up his sleeve in the coming weeks for his WrestleMania opponent. Lex Luger has been awesome since his debut last month, but his string of knock out victories is concerning WWF officials. Luger had a metal plate inserted into his forearm after an horrific motorcycle accident, which seems to be causing more damage when it strikes an opponent. With more and more wrestlers reluctant to lock up with The Narcissist for fear of serious injury, WWF President Jack Tunney is said to be investigating the situation. Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX, live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 4th, 1993, is shaping up: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush Don't miss this weekend's edition of Superstars where Mr. Perfect will be in action, plus Shawn Michaels faces Tatanka in non-title action. We'll see you next week for a gigantic episode of Monday Night RAW! Till then, so long everybody!
Memphis_Vice	Posted on 08/30/07 at 01:22:37 I always thought it was a travesty for WWF to run the "metal forearm plate" angle for Luger without at least a one-off appearance from Iron Mike Sharpe...who is still on your roster as a jobber. ;) Don't remember if Sharpe was still curtain-jerking for the WWF at that time or not. But he's certainly someone who would have something to say about loaded forearms.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/01/07 at 15:26:53 WWF Superstars February 27th, 1993 Convention Center, Long Beach, CA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Shawn Michaels and Tatanka regarding their match tonight. Tatanka pinned Shawn Michaels with the End of the Trail in 0:13:12. Rating: **** 1/4 Tatanka pinned WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels with the Samoan Drop in a non-title match at around the 13-minute mark after avoiding the Teardrop Suplex. This was an incredibly heated bout and the crowd went wild for the outcome. Tatanka must now be considered for an IC Title shot in the near future. Mr. Perfect made P.J. Walker submit to a figure-four leglock in 0:03:00. Rating: * 1/4 Just as Ric Flair did last Monday night on RAW, Mr. Perfect used the finishing hold of his arch rival to secure the victory over P.J. Walker tonight. Comments were shown from Hulk Hogan in which he agreed to put his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania on the line in his "Pick Your Poison" Match against Ric Flair this Monday on RAW. Repo Man pinned Dan Dubiel after an inside cradle in 0:02:33. Rating: -1/4* An interview with Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji was shown. Fuji was positively beaming that Yokozuna was receiving a WWF Title shot this Monday night. He said that justice would be done and vowed that Yoko would defeat the Hitman for the title. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated Scott Taylor and The Kamikaze Kid when Samu pinned S. Taylor after a faceslam in 0:05:32. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, The Nasty Boys hit the ring and had a wild brawl with The Headshrinkers. It took many referees and road agents several minutes to break up the fight. Another vignette was shown for the soon-to-debut Adam Bomb. Skinner pinned Max Moon with the Gatorbreaker in 0:10:17. Rating: * Skinner was out for revenge here as it was Max Moon who put Skinner on the shelf several weeks ago and forced the Alligator Man to miss the Royal Rumble. Skinner avoided Moon's twisting splash and drilled him with the match-winning inverted DDT. Circuit information: Hulk Hogan accepted Bret Hart's bait and agreed to put his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania on the line against Ric Flair on Monday Night RAW. There is an awful lot at stake this Monday and WWF President Jack Tunney has clarified the situation. Tunney has stated that because the Hitman and the Hulkster have signed a contract, they will meet at WrestleMania no matter what. This means that if Yokozuna defeats Hart on RAW and Hogan beats Flair, then Hogan will pull double duty on the show. Alternatively, if Bret is victorious over Yoko but Hogan loses to Flair, then it will be the Hitman who wrestles twice on the card. Tunney has also stated that the Mania title shot will be treated like a WWF championship, i.e. Flair must defeat Hogan by pinfall or submission to claim the title match on the big show. Anything could happen this Monday night and you'll have to tune in to see what goes down! Tatanka won a tremendous match over Shawn Michaels tonight but unfortunately for the Native American the Intercontinental Title was not on the line. Next time these two men meet it may very well be and Tatanka could walk out the new IC Champion. A match has been signed between The Headshrinkers and The Nasty Boys for WrestleMania. These two teams cannot stand each other and I wouldn't like to have to referee that bout! Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX, live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 4th, 1993, is shaping up: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers We've gotten word that Scott Steiner will return to action next week on Superstars as The Steiners face The Beverly Brothers in a non-title match. But before that, this Monday on RAW its "Pick Your Poison". Ric Flair faces Hulk Hogan with a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania at stake. Plus, Bret Hart defends the WWF Title against Yokozuna! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/01/07 at 15:28:07 Monday Night RAW - Pick Your Poison March 1st, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. At the beginning of the show, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna cut a promo regarding the WWF Title Match with Bret Hart. Fuji said that Yokozuna would defeat the Hitman for the title tonight and then go on and successfully defend the belt against either Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair at WrestleMania. [Pick Your Poison Match:] Bret Hart defeated Yokozuna by disqualification in 0:13:55. Rating: ** 1/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bret Hart.] Yokozuna gave Bret "Hitman" Hart the fight of his life in this WWF Title Match, but towards the end the Hitman managed to drive Yoko's head into the unprotected steel turnbuckle pad and the 505 lb behemoth crashed to the mat. That enabled the Hitman to tie up Yokozuna's tree trunk-like legs and apply the Sharpshooter. However, before Yokozuna could give up, Mr. Fuji hit the ring and smashed Hart in the back of the head with the salt bucket. The official immediately disqualified Yokozuna as Hart rolled out of the ring, seemingly knocked out cold. Mr. Fuji instructed Yokozuna to drag Bret back into the ring and deliver the Banzai drop, but before anymore damage could be done, Hulk Hogan ran down to the ring! The Hulkster knocked Yoko out of the ring with three big right hands and as Yoko tried to get back in, Hogan took a swing at him with the salt bucket. Bret Hart began to come round at ringside and when he looked into the ring he saw Hulk Hogan clutching the salt bucket that had been used to knock the Hitman out. The Hitman put two and two together and got five as he came to the conclusion that Hogan had waffled him with the bucket! Hogan and Hart had a heated exchange as the Hulkster tried in vain to explain himself. Officials and road agents finally got between the two superstars as RAW cut to commercial. Backstage, Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan were continuing their argument. Hogan said that the Hitman should be thanking him, as Hogan had saved his ass. Hogan said that he wanted the Hitman at 100% for WrestleMania so he has no excuses when he takes his title. The Hitman responded by saying that he hopes Hogan beats Flair later, because he can't wait to prove to the entire world that the new generation is better than the old. Hart sarcastically wished Hogan good luck and stormed off. Nailz pinned Scott Taylor with the Carotid Choke in 0:04:46. Rating: * 1/4 Nailz gave the hapless Scott Taylor a pasting here, but once again a druid came down to the ringside area during the bout and laid a black wreath for Nailz on the ring apron. Nailz ripped the wreath apart, yelling that the Undertaker's mind games wouldn't work. Ric Flair cut a promo claiming that he would beat Hulk Hogan tonight and then defeat the WWF Champion at WrestleMania. Then, Flair said, he would take care of Mr. Perfect. [Pick Your Poison Match:] Ric Flair defeated Hulk Hogan by disqualification in 0:15:21. Rating: 1/4 [Bret Hart interfered against Ric Flair.] This battle of the icons descended into chaos when the referee was bumped. Ric Flair went into his tights and pulled out some brass knuckles, which he intended to use on Hulk Hogan. However, before he could do so, Bret Hart hit the ring and attacked Flair, disarming him. Unfortunately, the official got back up and saw Hart assaulting Flair, so he had no option but to disqualify Hogan (Hogan doesn't lose his WWF Title shot at WrestleMania as he wasn't pinned or made to submit). The Hitman put the brass knux on and intended to punch Flair in the mouth with them. Hulk Hogan then grabbed Bret Hart's shoulder and spun him around, whereupon the Hart drew back his fist and went to punch Hogan. The crowd went deathly silent as the Hitman realised who had grabbed him and stopped himself. Hogan chewed him out for costing him the match. Hart claimed he was just watching Hogan's back, just like Hogan had his earlier. The two men got into a shoving match and had to be restrained once more. The fans wanted to see the WrestleMania main event one month early as they chanted, "Let them go!". Hogan and Hart were still at each other's throats as this wild edition of Monday Night RAW went off-air. Circuit information: Relations are strained and tensions are high between challenger and champion in the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania after a series of misunderstandings tonight on Monday Night RAW. It seemed that both Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan had the right intentions when they interjected themselves into one another's matches, but each superstar misconstrued what each other had in mind. All this means is that both Hart and Hogan are more eager than ever to lock up at WrestleMania, which should make this bout a match for the ages. Nailz again received a black wreath tonight, signalling that The Undertaker is coming for him. I think that the Dead Man is starting to mess with the head of the ex-con. Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX, live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 4th, 1993, is shaping up: WWF Championship:** Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers Next week on Monday Night RAW, Mr. Perfect faces Razor Ramon in a match where if Perfect wins, then he'll be granted a career vs. career match with Ric Flair at WrestleMania. This weekend on Superstars, WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers return to action against The Beverly Brothers and Crush will be in singles competition. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/01/07 at 15:29:44 WWF Superstars March 6th, 1993 Convention Center, Long Beach, CA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with highlights of the two "Pick Your Poison" Matches from Monday Night RAW. High Energy (Koko B. Ware and Owen Hart) defeated Mike Bell and Tony DeVito when Koko pinned M. Bell after the Double Flying Dropkick in 0:07:18. Rating: ** 1/4 Sean Mooney conducted a backstage interview with Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels, in which he claimed that his loss to Tatanka last week was a fluke. Crush made Jason Knight submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:02:07. Rating: * 1/4 After the bout, Jerry "The King" Lawler confronted Crush, claiming that he had embarrassed him two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. Lawler said that he had hand-picked several opponents for Crush over the coming weeks, starting this Monday on RAW. Crush did not appear worried and told Lawler to bring them on. Jimmy Hart was backstage with a contract for a WWF Tag Team Title shot. He claimed that he would get the Steiners to sign it tonight and then Money Inc would get their title shot at WrestleMania. Jim Duggan pinned L.A. Gore with the Three Point Stance in 0:04:07. Rating: DUD A vignette promoting the debut of Adam Bomb was shown. Vince McMahon revealed that next week on Superstars, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart will face Doink the Clown in a non-title match. Marty Jannetty pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Rocker Dropper in 0:04:36. Rating: * 1/2 Footage was shown of the two briefcase shots Scott Steiner suffered at the hands of IRS, which kept him out of action for a month. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when R. Steiner pinned Beau after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:12:22. Rating: 3/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Rick Steiner.] The Steiners were in the process of destroying the Beverly Brothers when Jimmy Hart came down to ringside and distracted them, causing the advantage to swing the other way. Hart was clutching the contract in his hands. The Steiners were eventually able to pick up the win in their return match with the Top Rope Bulldog. After the bout, Jimmy Hart entered the ring and handed the contract and a pen to the WWF Tag Team Champions. The Steiners read it and mulled it over, before Scott grabbed Jimmy and planted him with a tiger driver to an enormous pop! Rick crumpled the contract up and shoved it in Hart's mouth, before calling for the mike. Rick said that they would be happy to face Money Inc at WrestleMania with the tag titles on the line, but they wouldn't do it in a regular tag team match setting - there had to be stipulations. Rick said there had to be provisions in place to keep little pipsqueaks like Jimmy Hart from getting involved and foreign objects like briefcases out of the ring. Scott took the microphone and challenged Money Inc to a Steel Cage Match at WrestleMania! The fans voiced their approval as Superstars went off-air. Circuit information: Will Money Inc accept the challenge? They are desperate to face the Steiners again and try and regain the WWF Tag Team Titles, but they certainly weren't expecting it to be contested inside a fifteen foot high steel cage. I'm sure we'll get an answer from Money Inc sooner rather than later, maybe even this week on Monday Night RAW, where Ted DiBiase faces Rick Steiner in singles action. Just who has Jerry Lawler chosen for Crush to face on RAW? You'll have to tune in this week to find out! Here's how the card for WrestleMania IX, live from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 4th, 1993, is shaping up: WWF Championship:** Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, Mr. Perfect squares off against Razor Ramon in the main event! Remember, if Perfect can defeat the Bad Guy, then he'll secure a career vs. career match with Ric Flair at WrestleMania! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/09/07 at 11:14:26 Monday Night RAW March 8th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Ted DiBiase and Jimmy Hart came out to open the show. Hart was selling his back injury suffered at the hands of Scott Steiner on Superstars. DiBiase revealed that Money Inc had accepted the Steiner Brothers' challenge for a WWF Tag Team Title Match, to be held inside a steel cage, at WrestleMania. Ted DiBiase and Rick Steiner battled to a double countout in 0:10:12. Rating: *** Both of these men's respective partners were barred from ringside for the duration of this bout. In the end, Rick Steiner and Ted DiBiase brawled to the outside and were counted out. IRS then made his way out to give Money Inc a two-on-one advantage, but Scott Steiner arrived on the scene to even the odds and Money Inc hightailed it. It was announced that Scott Steiner would meet IRS on next week's show. Crush made his way out to face one of Jerry "The King" Lawler's hand picked opponents. Lawler revealed that Crush would wrestle one of the knights from his royal court - a masked man dressed all in blue and cleverly named "The Blue Knight". Crush defeated The Blue Knight via pinfall in 0:05:40. Rating: * 3/4 Crush made short work of the Blue Knight, while Lawler seethed at ringside. Lawler fumed that Crush wouldn't have it so easy next week when the King picks another opponent for the big Hawaiian. Another vignette was shown hyping up the debut of "The Creation of Devastation" Adam Bomb. A video was shown recapping the history of the bitter feud between Mr. Perfect and the dastardly duo of Ric Flair and Razor Ramon. Remember, if Mr. Perfect defeats Razor in the main event then he will be granted a career vs. career match with the Nature Boy at WrestleMania. Mr. Perfect pinned Razor Ramon with the Perfect Plex in 0:19:04. Rating: * 1/2 Ric Flair came down to the ring towards the end of this bout and handed Razor Ramon a pair of brass knuckles to use. Ramon decked Perfect with them and made the cover, but the official was too busy ejecting Flair from ringside instead of counting the fall. When the referee eventually did count, Perfect kicked out before three and the crowd exploded. Perfect slid out of a Razor's Edge attempt and surprised the Bad Guy with the Perfect Plex for the victory! After the bout, Ric Flair had a fit of anger in the aisle. Perfect took the mike and vowed to end Flair's WWF career in front of the whole world at WrestleMania. Circuit information: Two huge matches were made official for WrestleMania this evening. First, The Steiner Brothers will battle Money Inc inside a fifteen foot high steel cage for the WWF Tag Team Titles. The animosity between these two teams is at an all-time high and a steel cage match seems like the ideal way to settle it. Also, arch rivals Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair will face off in a bout where the stakes couldn't be any higher - both men's careers are on the line! Both Flair and Perfect agree that the World Wrestling Federation isn't big enough for both of them and at WrestleMania we'll see one of those superstars for the very last time. Crush took care of Jerry Lawler's Blue Knight with relative ease tonight on RAW. Who else does Lawler have in store for Crush as we count down to Mania? Here's the current WrestleMania IX card from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, live on April 4th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan Career vs. Career: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair WWF World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match:** The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers Don't miss next week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where Scott Steiner will look to get a measure of revenge on Irwin R. Schyster in a one-on-one match! If that's not enough for you, Nailz will be in action! Plus, the main event will be a huge six man tag team match as WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels teams with The Headshrinkers to battle the trio of Tatanka and The Nasty Boys! We'll have somewhat of a preview of that six man tag match on Superstars this weekend when Brian Knobbs goes up against Fatu, plus, in a non-title match, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart squares off against Doink! Till then, so long everybody!!
MRP1985	Posted on 09/13/07 at 18:08:30 Nice circuit you have running. I used to run a WWF circuit years ago, but my PC died on me and I didn't have the circuit (500 some-odd cards) and I lost it. Hart/Hogan WM should be interesting. Do the right thing and have The Hitman put that schumck away.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/21/07 at 18:01:24 WWF Superstars March 13th, 1993 Civic Center, North Charleston, SC Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Fatu defeated Brian Knobbs by disqualification in 0:07:51. Rating: 1/2* [Samu interfered against Brian Knobbs.] [Jerry Sags interfered against Fatu.] Samu was persistently interfering in this bout against Brian Knobbs, but when Jerry Sags came out to help his partner he ended up getting Knobbs disqualified. The Headshrinkers and The Nasty Boys ended up brawling all the way to the back. Vince McMahon hyped up the big six man tag team match on this week's edition on Monday Night RAW, which will see The Nasty Boys team up with Native American Tatanka to battle The Headshrinkers and IC Champion Shawn Michaels. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Mike Bell after a splash in 0:02:46. Rating: 1/4* During the bout, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo bemoaning the lack of competition he had received since returning to the WWF. Bob Backlund made Glen Ruth submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:04:35. Rating: 1/4 Another vignette aired for Adam Bomb, who will debut next week on WWF Superstars. El Matador and Virgil defeated Barry Hardy and Duane Gill when El Matador pinned D. Gill after a German suplex in 0:04:35. Rating: WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels cut a promo backstage vowing to pin Tatanka in the six man tag team match this Monday on RAW. Typhoon pinned Tony Roy with the Big Splash in 0:02:36. Rating: * 1/4 Bret Hart cut a promo before his non-title match with Doink, promising to wipe the smile off the clown's face. Bret Hart made Doink the Clown submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:12:00. Rating: * 1/2 Doink didn't make life easy for the Hitman, but ultimately Bret Hart made the evil clown submit to the Sharpshooter. After the bout, Vince McMahon conducted a ringside interview with the WWF Champion. Hart said he had cooled off after the Pick Your Poison edition of Monday Night RAW and felt it was best that he and Hulk Hogan stay out of each other's way until WrestleMania. McMahon then suggested that the Hitman wouldn't like the news he had just received from Jack Tunney's office and revealed that the WWF President had booked a tag team match for a fortnight's time on Monday Night RAW pitting Yokozuna and Ric Flair against the team of Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan! The crowd popped for that announcement, while an angry Bret Hart stormed to the back! Circuit information: Jack Tunney's announcement has rocked the WWF to its foundations as WWF Champion Bret Hart and his challenger at WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan, will be in the ring at the same time again in two weeks on Monday Night RAW, teaming up to face Yokozuna and Ric Flair! The last time the Hitman and the Hulkster were in the ring together they were at each other's throats. Can they co-exist and team up together? You could see from Bret Hart's reaction that he is not happy about this in the slightest. Fatu was victorious over Brian Knobbs tonight when Jerry Sags came out to prevent Samu's interference, but ended up attacking Fatu and costing Knobbs the match. Next week, Samu and Sags will go one-on-one on Superstars. The paths of these two teams will cross this week on Monday Night RAW in that six man tag team match, not to mention also at WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels will also get his hands on Tatanka in the six man. The Heartbreak Kid is still smarting from his non-title loss to Tatanka two weeks ago and is eager to extract revenge on RAW. Here's the current WrestleMania IX card from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, live on April 4th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan Career vs. Career: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair WWF World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match:** The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. The Undertaker vs. Nailz Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers We hope you'll join us for Monday Night RAW, where in addition to that big six man, IRS will battle Scott Steiner in a singles bout. Also, Crush faces another of Jerry Lawler's hand-picked opponents and the ex-convict Nailz will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/22/07 at 13:33:37 Monday Night RAW March 15th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Irwin R. Schyster defeated Scott Steiner by disqualification in 0:06:33. Rating: * [Rick Steiner interfered against Irwin R. Schyster.] IRS had sent Scott Steiner to the hospital with a concussion after two shots with his briefcase in January and Scott was out for retribution. Scott was dominating Schyster here when IRS went for his briefcase. Scott disarmed him though and took a swing at IRS with the Halliburton, but Schyster dodged the blow as the referee called for the bell. Still in possession of the briefcase, Scott chased IRS to the back. The commentary team built up the mammoth tag team match next week on Monday Night RAW of Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan vs. Yokozuna and Ric Flair. Bobby Heenan doubted that the massive egos of Hart and Hogan would let them co-exist on the same team. Vince McMahon said that we'd hear comments from The Hulkster this weekend on Superstars. Jerry "The King" Lawler brought out his Red Knight to do battle with Crush. Crush pinned The Red Knight after a headbutt in 0:08:49. Rating: 1/2 The Red Knight was tougher opponent for Crush this week than the Blue version was one week ago, but the big Hawaiian managed to score the victory much the chagrin of The King. Another vignette was shown for Adam Bomb, who will debut this weekend on Superstars. Nailz came out for his match this week on Monday Night RAW, but before his opponent appeared Paul Bearer made his way down to the ring carrying a black wreath. Nailz grabbed Bearer and dragged him into the square circle. Nailz threatened to give Bearer a kicking when the lights went out in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center! When they came back on, The Undertaker was standing behind Nailz! Undertaker hadn't been seen since the Royal Rumble and the crowd was going crazy!! As Nailz turned around, the lights suddenly went out again, but for longer than before. When the lights returned, Nailz was strapped into an electric chair in the centre of the ring!! The Undertaker was nowhere to be seen as Nailz struggled and strained to free himself. Paul Bearer was now in the aisle, stood beside a giant lever. Bearer warned that at WrestleMania, Nailz was going to fry! Bearer then yanked down on the lever and the lights were killed once more. When the lights came back on, the ring was empty!! The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) and Tatanka defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) and Shawn Michaels when Tatanka pinned Michaels after a sunset flip in 0:15:15. Rating: During the course of this match, The Nasty Boys and The Headshrinkers brawled all the way through the crowd to the back, essentially making it a one-on-one bout between Shawn Michaels and Tatanka. The Heartbreak Kid seemed to have the match won, but he took an age to deliver the side suplex and the Native American reversed the attempt into a sunset flip for the pinfall! Michaels was livid as Tatanka celebrated another pinfall victory over the Intercontinental Champion! Circuit information: WWF President Jack Tunney has decided that due to his two recent pinfall victories over Shawn Michaels, Tatanka will face the Heartbreak Kid for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania. But Tunney isn't finished there. He has changed The Undertaker vs. Nailz match at Mania to an Electric Chair Match and has also decided that since The Nasty Boys and The Headshrinkers love to brawl so much, they'll now have the chance to fight all over Caesar's Palace as their match at WrestleMania will be a Falls Count Anywhere Match!! Here's the current WrestleMania IX card from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, live on April 4th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan Career vs. Career: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka WWF World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc.

Jerry Sags pinned Samu after an inside cradle in 0:06:24. Rating: * 1/4 Both Brian Knobbs and Fatu accompanied their respective tag team partners down to the ring for this bout. While the referee was distracted by a confrontation between Knobbs and Afa at ringside, Sags was able to capitalise on a miscommunication between Fatu and Samu and he rolled up Samu for the win. The Headshrinkers and The Nasty Boys brawled to the back after the match was over. Adam Bomb pinned Jim Powers with the Atom Smasher in 0:02:02. Rating: * 1/4 Adam Bomb impressed a lot of mat observers in his WWF debut, defeating Jim Powers with a slingshot clothesline into the ring and a power bomb. During the bout, Harvey Wippleman cut an insert promo saying he was going to take Adam Bomb straight to the top of the WWF. A WrestleMania IX report aired in which it was announced that "The Narcissist" Lex Luger would face El Matador at the event. This would be Tito Santana's ninth consecutive WrestleMania appearance. Prior to the following bout, Barry Horowitz briefly posed in Lex Luger's full length mirror before being clotheslined from behind. Lex Luger pinned Barry Horowitz with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:03:20. Rating: * 1/2 During the bout, Lex Luger cut an insert promo gloating that he would defeat "the bullfighter" at WrestleMania. He added that Mr. Perfect better hope that Perfect loses to Ric Flair at WrestleMania because that way Perfect will never give Luger the chance to embarrass him. After the match, Barry Horowitz was looked over by EMTs before he came to. Max Moon pinned Skull Von Krush after a backdrop in 0:05:57. Rating: ** Backstage, The Headshrinkers and The Nasty Boys had a food fight in the catering area before being ejected from the arena by security. Big Boss Man pinned Damien DeMento with the Boss Man Slam in 0:01:25. Rating: * 3/4 The show closed with comments from Hulk Hogan, who said that he and Bret Hart would be victorious over Yokozuna and Ric Flair on Monday Night RAW. He added that the next time he is in the ring with the Hitman, it will be in the main event of WrestleMania when he drops the big leg on him and wins the WWF Championship.

Ware and Owen Hart) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Koko pinned Beau after a flying forearm in 0:09:32. Rating: * 1/4 [The Genius interfered against Owen Hart.] Tatanka pinned The Berzerker after a powerslam in 0:13:39. Rating: 3/4 "Mean" Gene Okerlund conducted an in-ring interview with Money Inc. Money Inc goaded The Steiner Brothers to come out and the two teams had an impromptu brawl with the Tag Team Champions coming out on top. Crush pinned Papa Shango after a dropkick in 0:09:03. Rating: Randy Savage came out for his match with Doink the Clown, but Doink attacked Savage on the floor before the bell. As a result, the scheduled match between the two was postponed until later in the card. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Kamala with the Diving Headbutt in 0:06:54. Rating: 1/2 Jerry Lawler defeated El Matador via pinfall in 0:12:29. Rating: 1/2 Jerry Lawler was victorious when he blocked a sunset flip into the ring and held onto the ropes for leverage. After the match, El Matador battled Lawler into the crowd. Randy Savage defeated Doink the Clown by disqualification in 0:12:33. Rating: 3/4 Doink was disqualified when he sprayed Savage in the eyes with a green liquid. After the bout, Savage had to be restrained by officials in the aisle as he attempted to get at Doink. Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect defeated Razor Ramon and Ric Flair when B. Hart pinned Ramon after a small package in 0:19:19. Rating: * The team of Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect came out on top when Hart pinned Razor Ramon with a small package after both Luger and Perfect reversed the pin attempt behind the referee's back. Card rating: *
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/26/07 at 09:22:08 Monday Night RAW March 22nd, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. A video package promoting tonight's tag team main event was shown. Yokozuna and Ric Flair will team up to face the WWF Champion Bret Hart and the challenger for his title at WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan. Razor Ramon pinned Max Moon with the Razor's Edge in 0:06:52. Rating: ** 3/4 Backstage, Bret "Hitman" Hart was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Hart said that if Hulk Hogan stays out of his way tonight then everything will be fine. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Jim Brunzell with the Diving Headbutt in 0:03:14. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Hulk Hogan cut a promo vowing to be victorious tonight, with or without Bret Hart's help. Highlights were shown of Tatanka's two recent pinfall victories over Shawn Michaels. Tatanka pinned Phil Apollo with the End of the Trail in 0:03:02. Rating: * 3/4 During the bout, WWF IC Champion Shawn Michaels called in to the commentary team to comment on his match with Tatanka at WrestleMania IX. Jerry "The King" Lawler cut a promo in which he said that the opponent he has selected for Crush next week will be the toughest yet. Ric Flair and Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan when Yokozuna pinned B. Hart after a legdrop in 0:12:40. Rating: * This match featured a serious miscommunication that many people feared might happen between Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan. After the referee was bumped, Mr. Fuji threw the salt bucket to Yokozuna to use, but the Hulkster kicked Yoko in the gut and disarmed him. Hogan threw Yokozuna out of the ring and, with the fans cheering him on, lined up Ric Flair for a shot with the bucket. Hogan took a swing but the Nature Boy moved and Hogan floored the Hitman with the bucket!! Flair dragged Hogan out of the ring while Yokozuna dropped a big leg on the WWF Champion for the pinfall. After the match, Hulk Hogan returned to the ring to check on the condition of Bret Hart, who was clutching the side of his head. The Hitman kept dodging Hogan and pushing him away, clearly disinterested in his concern. Bobby Heenan theoreticised that Hogan had meant to strike Hart with the bucket. Suddenly, The Hitman snapped and he double-legged Hogan down to the canvas and pummelled him!! The crowd were going absolutely nuts! The Hulkster fired back with punches of his own and officials and road agents flooded the ring to separate the two men! Even "Macho Man" Randy Savage left the announcers' table to get in between them. The crowd were split in their support for both Hogan and The Hitman as the two superstars tried to get at each other! Everyone was still struggling to keep Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan away from each other as Monday Night RAW went off air. Circuit information: You have to say that it has been brewing for some time. The ill-feeling between Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan exploded tonight after the Hulkster erroneously hit Hart with Mr. Fuji's salt bucket. People are questioning whether or not it really was an accident, but nevertheless it was a catalyst for a wild brawl between the two men at the end of the show. Hogan and Hart had to be separated once again when they went backstage. This situation has increased interest in their match at WrestleMania, which was already at feverish levels, ten fold. Who will come out on top when the superstar of the 80s meets the superstar of the 90s at the biggest show of the year??

Rating: -1/4* [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Barry Hardy.] Rick Martel defeated Bob Backlund when Bob Backlund passed out in the Boston Crab in 0:08:21. Rating: * 1/2 Jerry "The King" Lawler again put over the opponent he has selected to face Crush this week on Monday Night RAW, claiming that if Crush even makes it to WrestleMania he'll be very surprised. Shawn Michaels pinned Louie Spicolli after a superkick in 0:04:54. Rating: 3/4 During the bout, Tatanka cut an insert promo regarding his Intercontinental Title Match with Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania IX.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/30/07 at 18:29:56 Monday Night RAW - Road to WrestleMania IX March 29th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Tatanka pinned Mike Bell with the End of the Trail in 0:04:11. Rating: * 3/4 After the bout, Shawn Michaels came to the ring but was sent to the floor by Tatanka with a chop. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Barry Horowitz and Brooklyn Brawler when R. Steiner pinned B. Brawler after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:06:41. Rating: ** 1/2 During this match, Money Inc appeared in the aisle to scout their WrestleMania opponents. After the Steiners were victorious, they invited Ted DiBiase and IRS into the ring. Money Inc declined and returned to the back, while Scott Steiner said that in the steel cage at WrestleMania, there will be nowhere to run. Kamala pinned Kim Chee with the Ugandan Splash in 0:04:34. Rating: 1/2* Jerry "The King" Lawler introduced his opponent for Crush - The Black Knight. However, The Black Knight was much larger and muscular that the previous two knights, standing 6'3" and weighing in at around 255 lbs! Crush was going to have his work cut out for him. Crush made The Black Knight submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:04:26. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, Jerry Lawler entered the ring and jumped on Crush's back, but Crush threw him down to the canvas. Crush then picked up Lawler's crown and crushed it in his hands!! Lawler was almost in tears, but then the Blue Knight and the Red Knight came through the crowd and joined The Black Knight and Lawler in giving Crush a savage four-on-one beatdown. Mr. Perfect pinned Skinner with the Perfect Plex in 0:07:09. Rating: ** 1/2 As Mr. Perfect celebrated his win, Ric Flair ran down to the ring and took Perfect down with a chop block. Flair relentlessly attacked Perfect's right knee, slamming it into the ringpost twice and smashing it with a steel chair. Randy Savage ran Flair off, but the damage had already been done. Perfect limped to the back with the assistance of Savage and a referee. At the end of the show, Vince McMahon conducted an in-ring interview with Hulk Hogan. After being questioned repeatedly on the subject, Hogan finally admitted that although it was an accident, he didn't regret hitting Bret Hart with the salt bucket last week! Hogan vowed to defeat Bret Hart for the WWF Title this Sunday at WrestleMania and cement his place not only as the superstar of the 80s, but the superstar of the 90s as well. Circuit information: Here's the finalised WrestleMania IX card from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, live on April 4th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Hulk Hogan The waiting's almost over and the bout that WWF fans around the world are waiting for is nearly here. The superstar of the 80s, the Immortal Hulk Hogan, challenges the man who is well on the way to becoming the superstar of the 90s, "The Excellence of Execution", Bret "Hitman" Hart, for the WWF Championship. Hogan earned this opportunity by winning the Royal Rumble. Ever since then, the two men have begrudgingly admitted that they respect one another, but a series of misunderstandings and miscalculations have led to a serious dislike between one another. The situation exploded last week on Monday Night RAW, when both men came to blows after Hulk Hogan accidentally clocked the Hitman with Mr. Fuji's salt bucket. What will happen when these two men face off in the main event of WrestleMania? Will we witness a passing of the torch, or will the Hulkster come out on top as he so often does at WrestleMania? Opinion amongst WWF fans is very much divided. This one is too close to call. Career vs. Career: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair The history between these two adversaries is well documented. Ever since Mr. Perfect turned his back on Ric Flair they have been at each other's throats. In the Royal Rumble this past January, Perfect eliminated his foe. However, an incensed Flair caused Perfect to be thrown out of the ring and both men effectively cost each other a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania. Feeling that the WWF wasn't big enough for both of them, Perfect challenged Flair to a loser leaves the WWF match. Flair would only accept the bout if Perfect could defeat Razor Ramon, which Perfect did a month ago on RAW. The big question over this bout is what kind of condition will Mr. Perfect show up to WrestleMania in after the Nature Boy's cowardly attack on Perfect's knee tonight. Flair has seemed extremely reluctant to put his WWF career on the line against his former executive consultant and perhaps tonight's assault will give him the advantage he feels that he needs. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka Ever since debuting in the WWF over a year ago Native American Tatanka has remained undefeated. In recent weeks he has also recorded two pinfall victories over Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels, which led to Tatanka being named number one contender to the IC Title. If Tatanka can score another pin over The Heartbreak Kid at WrestleMania, then we'll have a new Intercontinental Champion. WWF World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. The Steiners made their WWF debut on the inaugural edition of Monday Night RAW this past January and immediately dethroned Money Inc as WWF Tag Team Champions. In the return match at the Royal Rumble, Money Inc won by count-out and put Scott Steiner on the shelf with a bad concussion after a briefcase shot from IRS. The Steiners requested that this match at WrestleMania be contested in a steel cage to prevent interference from Jimmy Hart and stop Irwin R. Schyster's briefcase from being used. It will be one fall to a finish in only the second ever cage match in WrestleMania history. Electric Chair Match: The Undertaker vs. Nailz The situation between The Undertaker and Nailz started with a simple staredown. At the Royal Rumble, Taker eliminated Nailz from the fray, which didn't sit too well with the ex-con. Nailz re-entered the ring and obliterated the Dead Man with a steel chair and choked him unconscious with an electrical cable. We didn't see The Undertaker for weeks, but during that time Nailz was sent a series of mysterious black wreaths. The Undertaker returned two weeks ago on RAW, freaking out Nailz by appearing and then disappearing until finally Nailz ended up in an electric chair! That set up this Electric Chair Match at WrestleMania, where the only way to win is to strap your opponent into the chair, pull the lever and make him fry! Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush This feud began at the Royal Rumble when Jerry Lawler used a low blow to eliminate Crush. Lawler tried to apologise to Crush for his dirty tactics on an edition of the King's Court the next night, but Crush wouldn't hear it. Lawler then brutally beat down Crush, putting him out of action. Crush returned several weeks later, forcing Lawler back into the ring to let "Macho Man" Randy Savage finish him off. Crush has since run through three of Lawler's knights with relative ease, but tonight on Monday Night RAW they all ganged up to lay a severe beatdown on the big man from Kona, Hawaii. Crush may be hurting, but his pride hurts most of all and will be desperate to get Lawler in the head vice at WrestleMania. Falls Count Anywhere Match: The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers It seems that every time these two teams are in the same building, a brawl breaks out. WWF President Jack Tunney has decided that since that is the case, the two teams should meet in a falls count anywhere match at WrestleMania. A pinfall could be recorded anywhere in Caesar's Palace! Lex Luger vs. El Matador "The Narcissist" Lex Luger debuted at the Royal Rumble and has been on a tear since then, knocking out every single one of his opponents. This is thanks to the metal plate that was inserted into his forearm after a motorcycle accident. In Luger's stiffest test to date, WrestleMania veteran Tito Santana will be out to avoid that forearm and humble the Narcissist this Sunday. Don't miss WrestleMania IX, the biggest event of the year, live THIS SUNDAY only on pay-per-view!! Till then, so long everybody!!
The TNM Members Champ	Posted on 10/01/07 at 04:09:16 I really enjoy reading your circuit as it is very easy to follow along. You summarize just as effectively as someone writing an entire card out. I really like how you've built towards Hogan/Hart at WrestleMania IX. You've effectively made an intruiging face/face encounter where neither man is really playing the face or heelish role. They just want to know who is better and to me that is all you need. That is what pro wrestling should be about.

The superstar of the 80s, the Immortal Hulk Hogan, challenges the man who is well on the way to becoming the superstar of the 90s, "The Excellence of Execution", Bret "Hitman" Hart, for the WWF Championship. Hogan earned this opportunity by winning the Royal Rumble. Ever since then, the two men have begrudgingly admitted that they respect one another, but a series of misunderstandings and miscalculations have led to a serious dislike between one another. The situation exploded last week on Monday Night RAW, when both men came to blows after Hulk Hogan accidentally clocked the Hitman with Mr. Fuji's salt bucket. What will happen when these two men face off in the main event of WrestleMania? Will we witness a passing of the torch, or will the Hulkster come out on top as he so often does at WrestleMania. Opinion amongst WWF fans is very much divided. This one is too close to call. Career vs. Career: Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair The history between these two adversaries is well documented. Ever since Mr. Perfect turned his back on Ric Flair they have been at each other's throats. In the Royal Rumble this past January, Perfect eliminated his foe. However, an incensed Flair caused Perfect to be thrown out of the ring and both men effectively cost each other a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania. Feeling that the WWF wasn't big enough for both of them, Perfect challenged Flair to a loser leaves the WWF match. Flair would only accept the bout if Perfect could defeat Razor Ramon, which Perfect did a month ago on RAW. The big question over this bout is what kind of condition will Mr. Perfect show up to WrestleMania in after the Nature Boy's cowardly attack on Perfect's knee tonight. Flair has seemed extremely reluctant to put his WWF career on the line against his former executive consultant and perhaps tonight's assault will give him the advantage he feels that he needs. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka Ever since debuting in the WWF over a year ago Native American Tatanka has remained undefeated. In recent weeks he has also recorded two pinfall victories over Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels, which led to Tatanka being named number one contender to the IC Title. If Tatanka can score another pin over The Heartbreak Kid at WrestleMania, then we'll have a new Intercontinental Champion. WWF World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match: The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. The Steiners made their WWF debut on the inaugural edition of Monday Night RAW this past January and immediately dethroned Money Inc as WWF Tag Team Champions. In the return match at the Royal Rumble, Money Inc won by count-out and put Scott Steiner on the shelf with a bad concussion after a briefcase shot from IRS. The Steiners requested that this match at WrestleMania be contested in a steel cage to prevent interference from Jimmy Hart and stop Irwin R. Schyster's briefcase from being used. It will be one fall to a finish in only the second ever cage match in WrestleMania history. Electric Chair Match: The Undertaker vs. Nailz The situation between The Undertaker and Nailz started with a simple staredown. At the Royal Rumble, Taker eliminated Nailz from the fray, which didn't sit too well with the ex-con. Nailz re-entered the ring and obliterated the Dead Man with a steel chair and choked him unconscious with an electrical cable. We didn't see The Undertaker for weeks, but during that time Nailz was sent a series of mysterious black wreaths. The Undertaker returned two weeks ago on RAW, freaking out Nailz by appearing and then disappearing until finally Nailz ended up in an electric chair! That set up this Electric Chair Match at WrestleMania, where the only way to win is to strap your opponent into the chair, pull the lever and make him fry! Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Crush This feud began at the Royal Rumble when Jerry Lawler used a low blow to eliminate Crush. Lawler tried to apologise to Crush for his dirty tactics on an edition of the King's Court the next night, but Crush wouldn't hear it. Lawler then brutally beat down Crush, putting him out of action. crush returned several weeks later, forcing Lawler back into the ring to let "Macho Man" Randy Savage finish him off. Crush has since run through three of Lawler's knights with relative ease, but tonight on Monday Night RAW they all ganged up to lay a severe beatdown on the big man from Kona, Hawaii. Crush may be hurting, but his pride hurts most of all and will be desperate to get Lawler in the head vice at WrestleMania. Falls Count Anywhere Match: The Nasty Boys vs. The Headshrinkers It seems that every time these two teams are in the same building, a brawl breaks out. WWF President Jack Tunney has decided that since that is the case, the two teams should meet in a falls count anywhere match at WrestleMania. A pinfall could be recorded anywhere in Caesar's Palace! Lex Luger vs. El Matador "The Narcissist" Lex Luger debuted at the Royal Rumble and has been on a tear since then, knocking out every single one of his opponents. This is thanks to the metal plate that was inserted into his forearm after a motorcycle accident. In Luger's stiffest test to date, WrestleMania veteran Tito Santana will be out to avoid that forearm and humble the Narcissist this Sunday. Don't miss WrestleMania IX, the biggest event of the year, live TOMORROW NIGHT only on pay-per-view!! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/02/07 at 23:05:21 WRESTLEMANIA IX April 4th, 1993 Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, NV Your commentators are Jim Ross, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Gorilla Monsoon opened the broadcast before turning it over to Jim Ross, who was making his surprise WWF announcing debut. Prior to the first match, Randy Savage was carried out to ringside accompanied by festive virgins, while Bobby Heenan soon followed - riding backwards on a camel! Cage Match: The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) when R. Steiner pinned DiBiase with the Steiner Bulldog in 0:16:54. Rating: **** 1/2 (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) Highlights from this immense bout included IRS hitting a superplex on Scott Steiner from the top rope, Scott hanging IRS from the top of the cage with the taxman's own tie and a flying axhandle all the way from the top of the cage from Scott to Ted DiBiase! Unquestionably the greatest tag team match in WrestleMania history and when it was all said and done the Steiners retain the championships, ending their feud with Money Inc. Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed Nailz in which Nailz said that there was no way he was going to the chair tonight. Lex Luger pinned El Matador with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:05:51. Rating: * 1/2 "The Narcissist" Lex Luger was victorious in his WrestleMania debut when he knocked out El Matador with his running forearm in just under six minutes. During the bout Bobby Heenan referred to Luger as "more than perfect" in a slight at Mr. Perfect, Heenan's former managerial client. Backstage, The Steiner Brothers vowed to be fighting champions and defend their Tag Team Titles against all comers. Prior to the next bout, The Undertaker was carried out to the ring on a funeral chariot alongside a vulture. Electric Chair Match: The Undertaker defeated Nailz in 0:07:18. Rating: -* 1/2 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Shawn Michaels about his upcoming title defence against Tatanka. Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) when Samu pinned Knobbs with the Flying Bodypress in 0:08:48. Rating: * 1/4 Footage was shown of Tatanka's two recent pinfall victories over Shawn Michaels. Gene Okerlund then interviewed Tatanka about his Intercontinental Title match with The Heartbreak Kid. Tatanka pinned Shawn Michaels with the End of the Trail in 0:13:10. Rating: * 3/4 (Tatanka won the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Backstage, Mr. Perfect cut a promo vowing to beat Ric Flair and send him packing from the WWF for good. Perfect denied that his injured knee would be a problem tonight. In another part of the building, Gene Okerlund interviewed the Nature Boy, who promised to be around the WWF for a long time to come. As Mr. Perfect made his way down the aisle for his career match with Ric Flair, Lex Luger sprinted down and smashed him in the back of the head with a running forearm. Perfect appeared to be knocked out cold. Referees and paramedics checked on Perfect and as they helped him back to his feet, WWF President Jack Tunney came out. Tunney said that there was no way Perfect could compete and declared that the match would have to be postponed to a later date. Ric Flair wouldn't have any of this though, saying he had come to Vegas to end the career of Mr. Perfect. The Nature Boy attacked Perfect on the floor and intimidated the official into calling for the bell and starting the bout. Loser-Leaves-Town Match: Mr. Perfect pinned Ric Flair with the Perfect Plex in 0:23:16. Rating: * 1/2 Ric Flair relentlessly and mercilessly attacked Mr. Perfect's injured knee in this contest to the point where Perfect could hardly walk. Flair even decked Perfect with brass knuckles behind the referee's back at one point, but Perfect kicked out of the resulting pin attempt. Perfect scored the pin after twenty-three minutes of intense action when he hit the Perfect Plex as Flair attempted a backdrop. Due to the pre-match stipulations, Flair is forced to leave the WWF for good. Backstage, Tatanka celebrated his Intercontinental triumph. Sean Mooney conducted an interview with Bret "Hitman" Hart regarding his WWF Title defence against Hulk Hogan. Crush made Jerry Lawler submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:07:58. Rating: Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed Hulk Hogan, in which he said he would defeat Bret Hart and become a five-time WWF Champion. Bret Hart made Hulk Hogan submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:23:20. Rating: * 1/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) This WWF Title Match certainly didn't disappoint, as Hulk Hogan - the superstar of the 80s - challenged the WWF Champion and superstar of the 90s Bret "Hitman" Hart. The action went back and forth, with crowd support split between both men. About halfway through the bout, Hogan knocked The Hitman off the ring apron and Hart struck the guardrail head-first, busting himself wide open. The Hulkster went straight to work on the cut. In the end, Hogan missed his Big Leg Drop and The Hitman locked in the Sharpshooter in the centre of the ring. Hogan fought the hold as long as he could until he finally submitted. Both superstars earned a standing ovation from the huge crowd on hand. Hulk Hogan helped Bret Hart back to his feet and strapped the WWF Championship belt around his waist. Hogan and Hart shook hands and then hugged in the centre of the ring, a wonderful moment of sportsmanship and a fitting end to a tremendous WrestleMania. Card rating: *** Circuit information: WrestleMania IX will go down in the history books as one of the most memorable events in WWF history. In the main event, Bret "Hitman" Hart triumphed over his greatest challenge to date - "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan - making Hogan submit for the very first time in his career. After the match, Hogan handed the WWF Championship belt to the Hitman, endorsing him as the superstar of the 90s, in a moment to remember in a WrestleMania never to forget. It was a true passing of the torch by the Hulkster, who will now take some time off to pursue other interests. The WWF career of Ric Flair is officially over after his defeat to Mr. Perfect tonight. Perfect overcame all the odds - a vicious attack by the Nature Boy on Monday Night RAW, being knocked out by Lex Luger before his match tonight, brass knuckles - to come out on top and send his nemesis packing. You have to think that Perfect will now turn his attention to The Narcissist and make him pay for almost costing him his WWF career. Congratulations to Native American Tatanka, who defeated Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Title tonight. Tatanka has had somewhat of an "Indian sign" - no pun intended - over the Heartbreak Kid in recent weeks and in this, his third pinfall victory over Michaels, he captured the championship. Tatanka is still undefeated in the World Wrestling Federation and his career just keeps going from strength to strength. The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF Tag Team Title in a superb steel cage match against Money Inc. Now that their feud with Ted DiBiase and IRS is over, The Steiners have vowed to be fighting champions and defend the belts against all comers. The Undertaker was victorious over Nailz in their Electric Chair Match. The Deadman was able to strap Nailz into the chair and pull the lever, sending jolts of electrical current through the ex-con's body. You have to wonder if we'll ever see Nailz again after tonight. We hope you enjoyed WrestleMania IX and that you'll join us tomorrow night, live from the Manhattan Center for Monday Night Raw! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/11/07 at 20:47:03 Monday Night RAW April 5th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with stills from WrestleMania IX, including shots of The Steiners defeating Money Inc inside the steel cage, Tatanka winning the Intercontinental Title from Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker frying Nailz in the electric chair, Mr. Perfect ending Ric Flair's WWF career and Bret Hart retaining the WWF Championship over Hulk Hogan. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Mike Bell and Tony DeVito when S. Steiner pinned T. DeVito with the Frankensteiner in 0:09:33. Rating: * 1/2 Vince McMahon received word from Jack Tunney's office that next week on Monday Night RAW, there will be a 20-man over-the-top-rope battle royal to determine the number one contender to Tatanka's newly won Intercontinental Title. Papa Shango defeated Virgil via pinfall in 0:07:13. Rating: ** 1/4 An 'Update' segment hosted by Gorilla Monsoon aired in which footage was shown from WrestleMania of Lex Luger knocking out Mr. Perfect with his forearm. It emerged that Jack Tunney had finished an investigation into Luger's forearm and X-rays revealed Luger had a steel plate surgically implanted in it which was why he had been knocking out all his opponents. It was disclosed that Tunney was unable to do anything about it because the plate was part of Luger's body. However, for his cowardly sneak attack on Perfect, Luger was being fined $10,000. Doink the Clown pinned Barry Hardy after a backslide in 0:06:34. Rating: * 1/4 Vince McMahon announced that the WWF King of the Ring tournament would begin in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW. This will be a single elimination tournament featuring sixteen WWF superstars, with the quarter finals, semi finals and final taking place on Sunday, June 13th live on pay-per-view, from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio. Vince revealed that the winner of the final match will be officially crowned the King of the Ring. El Matador pinned The Berzerker after a figure-four leglock in 0:03:03. Rating: * 1/2 (Adam Bomb no-showed.) WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart came out for an in-ring interview with Vince McMahon and was given a standing ovation from the capacity crowd. Hart put over his match with Hulk Hogan as the toughest of his career - pointing to the bandage over his left eye - and added that the Hulkster was a formidable opponent. The Hitman said that WrestleMania IX will go down as the greatest night of his career thus far and hoped for many more in the future. As Hart acknowledged the fan support and left the ring, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji appeared in the aisle, blocking the Hitman's exit. Vince McMahon asked Fuji why they were out here. Fuji replied that Yokozuna had pinned Bret Hart right here on Monday Night RAW two weeks ago and so should be named number one contender to the WWF Title. Fuji challenged the Hitman to put his title on the line against Yokozuna and said they wouldn't let Hart past until he agreed to. The Hitman said that he wanted nothing more than to avenge that pinfall loss to Yokozuna as soon as possible and said that Yokozuna could have his title match. Bret Hart and Yokozuna had a staredown in the aisle as Monday Night RAW went off air. Circuit information: It's the day after WrestleMania and WWF President Jack Tunney has had a busy night. After Yokozuna's challenge to WWF Champion Bret Hart tonight, Tunney has booked a WWF Title match between the two men for the King of the Ring pay-per-view. The unstoppable Yokozuna, who has still to taste a defeat by pinfall or submission since his debut last year, still feels aggrieved that he did not challenge for the title at WrestleMania. Yoko did pin The Hitman a fortnight ago on Monday Night RAW in a tag team match, but Bret Hart's confidence is sky high after defeating Hulk Hogan and he is ready for the 505+ lb challenger on June 13th at the King of the Ring. Jack Tunney also fined Lex Luger $10,000 for attacking Mr. Perfect at WrestleMania. We are scheduled to hear from the Narcissist this weekend on WWF Superstars. Mr. Perfect will be on Monday Night RAW next week and you can bet that he will want to address this situation with Lex Luger. In my opinion, The Steiner Brothers can hold on to the WWF Tag Team Titles for as long as they want to - they're that good. Rick and Scott have vowed to be fighting champions and await the best competition that the WWF can provide. Next week on Monday Night RAW, there will be a 20-man battle royal to determine the number one contender to the Intercontinental Title currently held by Native American Tatanka. Speaking of Tatanka, Vince McMahon will conduct an interview with the new IC champion this weekend on Superstars. The World Wrestling Federation goes on tour to Europe at the end of the week, so Monday Night RAW will not be live next week. We hope you'll join us this weekend on Superstars, where aside from that Tatanka interview, Money Inc., Razor Ramon and The Headshrinkers will all be in action, plus, in the main event, Marty Jannetty battles Bam Bam Bigelow! Don't miss it! Till then, so long everybody!!
mamushi	Posted on 10/11/07 at 20:51:37 I'm looking forward to seeing who the #1 contender will be for the IC title. I think how he fairs in his first defense will be a sign of how long he can hold onto the title.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/13/07 at 14:07:36 WWF Superstars April 10th, 1993 The Centrum, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Bam Bam Bigelow and Marty Jannetty regarding their match later in the night. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated Chris Duffy and Duane Gill when Fatu pinned C. Duffy with the Flying Bodypress in 0:06:08. Rating: ** New Intercontinental Champion Tatanka arrived at the interview platform to speak with Vince McMahon. Vince congratulated Tatanka on his win over Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania and Tatanka thanked their fans for the support they have given him since he entered the WWF. McMahon asked Tatanka what was next for the new IC Champ and the Native American replied that he would defend his championship against anybody who wants a shot - all they have to do is step up to the plate. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels' music hit and the Heartbreak Kid made his way out. Michaels said he was officially invoking his rematch clause in the contract for their WrestleMania match and added that he wanted the chance to regain his title next week on Superstars. Tatanka agreed to put his newly won title on the line next week, but added that he was getting tired of beating HBK. That comment didn't sit well with Michaels, who decked Tatanka with a superkick out of nowhere. The former Intercontinental champion then picked up the title belt, admired his reflection in it, fixed his hair and then threw it down on the Native American's prone body. Crush pinned Mike Bucci after a powerslam in 0:03:27. Rating: * 1/4 During the bout it was announced that Crush would face Repo Man in just over a week on Monday Night RAW in the opening round of the King of the Ring tournament. Vince McMahon taunted Jerry Lawler, claiming that Lawler couldn't call himself "King" unless he won the King of the Ring tournament. Lawler said he didn't have to prove himself to anybody, but McMahon's goading continued throughout the rest of the show. Razor Ramon pinned Jim Powers with the Razor's Edge in 0:04:35. Rating: Prior to the next bout, Ted Dibiase offered anyone $100 to shine his shoes. After a fan did so, IRS took out 70% of the pay and gave the fan $30. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) defeated The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) when DiBiase made Luke submit to a sleeperhold in 0:06:52. Rating: 1/4 Backstage, Lex Luger laughed at the $10,000 fine Jack Tunney had given him, calling it "pocket change". Luger said that comparing himself to Mr. Perfect was like comparing ice cream to horse manure. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Marty Jannetty with the Diving Headbutt in 0:05:41. Rating: ** 3/4 Circuit information: Next week's show will be a must-see edition of Superstars, as Tatanka puts the Intercontinental Title on the line against Shawn Michaels in a WrestleMania rematch! The Heartbreak Kid used a cheap shot on Tatanka tonight to embarrass him, which has made the undefeated Native American extremely angry. Tatanka will be out for revenge next week as he seeks to retain his championship. The winner of that contest will be very interested in the outcome of the 20-man battle royal this week on Monday Night RAW, with the winner facing the Intercontinental Champion somewhere down the line. Also, Mr. Perfect and Lex Luger are both booked for the show, so expect fireworks!! Till then, so long everybody!!

Rating: * 1/4 Bob Backlund and Bam Bam Bigelow battled to a draw in 0:15:00. Rating: * Bam Bam Bigelow fought Bob Backlund to a fifteen minute time-limit draw. After the bout, Backlund challenged Bigelow to five more minutes, even leading the crowd in a "five more minutes" chant. After Bigelow seemingly accepted, he attacked Backlund from behind, threw him out of the ring and then left ringside to a chorus of boos. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when R. Steiner pinned Fatu after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:12:46. Rating: * 1/2 [Afa interfered against Rick Steiner.] [Afa interfered against Scott Steiner.] Mr. Perfect pinned Doink the Clown with the Perfect Plex in 0:13:40.

Yokozuna had attacked Duggan on the floor seconds earlier which prompted Perfect to interfere. Bret Hart made Razor Ramon submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:20:44. Rating: ** 1/2 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Card rating: 3/4
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/20/07 at 14:29:50 Monday Night RAW April 12th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Lex Luger and Terry Zeller battled to a no contest in 0:00:00. Rating: N/A Lex Luger fought Terry Zeller to a no-contest when Luger knocked Zeller out before the match began after The Narcissist caught his opponent checking himself out in Luger's full-length mirror. Mr. Perfect then stormed the ring, but Luger managed to escape as Monday Night RAW cut to commercial. Vince McMahon hyped up the King of the Ring tournament, with the first qualifying match taking place next week on Monday Night RAW when Crush squares off against Repo Man. Yokozuna pinned Louie Spicolli with the Banzai Drop in 0:04:16. Rating: 3/4* Mr. Perfect attacked Lex Luger outside the building as The Narcissist was being interviewed by Lord Alfred Hayes. Perfect threw Luger onto the hood of a car before security broke up the fight. The first vignette was shown promoting the debut of Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns. 20-Man Battle Royal: Bam Bam Bigelow won a 20-man Battle Royal: x Skinner threw out Virgil after a double-axhandle to the back in 0:00:59 x Koko threw out Martel in 0:02:09 x Shango threw out El Matador in 0:04:18 x Jannetty threw out Koko in 0:05:57 x Shango threw out Crush after a choke lift in 0:07:27 x Repo threw out Jannetty in 0:9:30 x Bigelow threw out Backlund in 0:10:17 x Bigelow threw out Kamala in 0:12:39 x Skinner threw out Typhoon in 0:13:44 x O.

Bigelow, who has been dominant since returning to the WWF this past January, threw out four men before battling the Big Boss Man in a rematch from the Royal Rumble and ousting him from the ring to win the match. The performance of the Beast from the East wasn't the only story of this match though. There could be a situation brewing between The Undertaker and "The Creation of Devastation" Adam Bomb, as both men eliminated each other from the contest. 'Taker then stalked Bomb all the way to the back while Paul Bearer and Harvey Wippleman, their respective managers, tried to keep them apart. Bam Bam Bigelow taunted the fans after the match, claiming that he would be the next Intercontinental Champion, as this week's edition of Monday Night RAW drew to a close. Circuit information: Moments after Monday Night RAW went off-air, WWF President Jack Tunney announced that Bam Bam Bigelow will challenge for the Intercontinental Title at the King of the Ring in June. Bigelow will be watching the IC Title match between Tatanka and Shawn Michaels this weekend on Superstars very closely indeed. Adam Bomb and The Undertaker had to be separated backstage after they eliminated one another from the battle royal. These two big men feel that they have a score to settle with each other. Mr. Perfect finally got his hands on Lex Luger tonight, attacking The Narcissist in the parking lot. Perfect has demanded a match with Luger as soon as possible, but after all his bragging I doubt Luger is as keen to face Perfect. The King of the Ring tournament starts next week on RAW and expectation is high. Crush and Repo Man will meet in the first qualifying match for a spot in the quarter finals. Speaking of the tournament, apparently Jerry "The King" Lawler will be making some sort of announcement regarding the King of the Ring this weekend on Superstars. Plus, High Energy will face the Beverly Brothers in a match that should have happened several weeks ago but Koko B. Ware missed his flight, plus Tatanka defends the Intercontinental Title against Shawn Michaels in a WrestleMania rematch. Don't miss it! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/23/07 at 22:03:43 WWF Superstars April 17th, 1993 The Centrum, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. This week's edition of Superstars opened with comments from WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka and Shawn Michaels regarding their title match later in the show. Earthquake pinned Jim Brunzell with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:05:11. Rating: Backstage, Owen Hart spoke to his tag team partner Koko B. Ware. Koko apologised to Owen for letting him down several weeks ago by missing the show. Owen told Koko he needed to focus more and said he was thankful to Marty Jannetty for filling in. That comment seemed to irk Koko, miffed that Jannetty had thrown him out of the battle royal on Monday Night RAW. Owen said that he and Koko had to work together to take High Energy to the very top of the WWF, starting tonight against The Beverly Brothers. Prior to the next bout, Jerry "The King" Lawler announced that he would be entering the King of the Ring tournament. Max Moon pinned The Berzerker after a dropkick in 0:04:00. Rating: 3/4 This upset victory for Max Moon did not sit well with The Berzerker, who attacked Moon after the match. The Berzerker drilled the man from Outer Space with a piledriver and then threw him over the top rope to the floor. Koko B. Ware did not appear for this tag team match with The Beverly Brothers, leaving Owen Hart all by himself. However, there was no Marty Jannetty this week to step in and The Beverlys attacked Owen, making this bout a handicap match. Handicap-Match: The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated Owen Hart when Blake pinned O. Hart after the Beverly Bomb in 0:03:43. Rating: (Koko B. Ware no-showed.) With the crowd completely behind him, the courageous Owen Hart battled as hard as he could as he took it to the Beverly Brothers. The odds were too much for him and Beau and Blake eventually put him out of his misery with the Beverly Bomb. A vignette was shown promoting the debut of Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns. Tatanka pinned Shawn Michaels after a backslide in 0:25:10. Rating: * 3/4 (Tatanka retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Tatanka was victorious and preserved his undefeated streak when he ducked under Shawn Michaels' superkick and pinned him with a backslide out of nowhere. This was an incredibly competitive bout, with both men taking it to one another for over twenty-five minutes. During the bout, Bam Bam Bigelow was shown watching the contest on a monitor in his dressing room. Circuit information: There is apparently no stopping Native American Tatanka, who again convincingly defeated Shawn Michaels and retained his Intercontinental Title. He will now turn his attentions to Bam Bam Bigelow, who earned an Intercontinental Title shot by winning a 20-man battle royal this past week on Monday Night RAW. Koko B. Ware certainly has a lot to answer for. Two weeks ago, he failed to show up at the arena for High Energy's match with the Beverly Brothers. Luckily, Marty Jannetty was there to fill in for him that night. The match was rescheduled for tonight and Koko was definitely at the Centrum at the start of the show, but once again he didn't turn up for the bout, forcing Owen Hart to go it alone against both Beverlys. Owen Hart was irate backstage after the match and is demanding an explanation from Koko B. Ware - provided he can find him. The Berzerker's attack on Max Moon after their match tonight was totally uncalled for. The Berzerker is out of control at the best of times, but he totally lost it after Moon upset him this evening on Superstars. This week on Monday Night RAW, the King of the Ring finally begins after weeks of expectation. In the first qualifying match, Repo Man will battle Crush for a spot in the quarter finals. And who will Jerry Lawler face after The King eventually decided to be a part of the tournament? Till then, so long everybody!
Some ARSEHOLE Stole My Gimmick	Posted on 10/26/07 at 01:44:13 Make the IC title match with Tatanka and Bigelow a little more interesting, and build it up until the PPV, where you would use a special stip. match (cage match, ladder match, best two of three falls match, etc) to make it a little more interesting.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/30/07 at 18:30:25 Monday Night RAW April 19th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Crush made Repo Man submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:08:37. Rating: 3/4 Crush made it through to the quarter finals of the King of the Ring pay-per-view in June by forcing the Repo Man to yell "uncle". The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated El Matador and Virgil when Fatu pinned Virgil with the Flying Bodypress in 0:11:28. Rating: 3/4 "The Narcissist" Lex Luger was interviewed backstage by Sean Mooney. Luger was accompanied by his attorney, Clarence Mason. Luger said that in light of Mr. Perfect's brutal assault on himself last week, Mason had written up an 100-yard restraining order on behalf of Luger preventing Perfect from coming anywhere near him. The Narcissist added that WWF President Jack Tunney had seen the order and had agreed that it was a valid document. Luger closed this segment by promising to defeat Marty Jannetty this weekend in their King of the Ring qualifying match and then go all the way in the tournament. Typhoon pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Big Splash in 0:02:35. Rating: 1/2* Another vignette was shown promoting the debut of Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns. Jerry "The King" Lawler hosted another edition of the King's Court, in which he panned the entire WWF roster. He said that he was the only WWF superstar worthy of being called "king" and said he would prove it by winning the King of the Ring tournament. To Lawler's chagrin, Randy Savage entered the ring and interrupted him, gleefully informing Lawler that his qualifying match in the tournament would be against...The Undertaker!!! Lawler almost had a heart attack as RAW went to commercial. Adam Bomb pinned Barry Horowitz with the Atom Smasher in 0:01:09. Rating: ** After the match, Harvey Wippleman cut a promo on The Undertaker, saying that Adam Bomb was coming after the Deadman. Circuit information: The big news coming out of tonight's show is that Crush is the first man through in the King of the Ring tournament as he defeated Repo Man by submission. The tournament continues this weekend on Superstars as Lex Luger squares off against Marty Jannetty. Speaking of The Narcissist, we are starting to get an idea of how cowardly this man really is. First he attacked Mr. Perfect from behind at WrestleMania and now he has taken out a restraining order against Perfect to avoid having any physical contact with him! Perfect and Luger are both booked on Superstars this week and it will be interesting to see what happens there. Jerry Lawler finally decided to enter the King of the Ring this evening and prove that he is the true king of professional wrestling. However, when Randy Savage told him that his first round opponent will be The Undertaker, Lawler looked like he had seen a ghost. You'll see that match next week on Monday Night RAW. However, one man who is eager to lock up with the Deadman is Adam Bomb, as Harvey Wippleman informed all of us tonight. We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars, where the King of the Ring tournament continues, plus The Undertaker and WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 11/02/07 at 23:24:13 WWF Superstars April 24th, 1993 The Centrum, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Gary Scott and Tony Roy when R. Steiner pinned T. Roy after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:07:43. Rating: * 1/4 During the bout, it was announced that next week on WWF Superstars, WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers will team up with WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka to face the team of Shawn Michaels and Money Inc in a 2/3 Falls Match! Backstage, Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware had a confrontation. Owen said he was sick and tired of Koko letting him down. Koko tried to apologise, but Owen didn't want to hear any of his excuses. Owen said that after Koko couldn't be bothered to turn up for their last two matches, he couldn't trust Koko anymore and decided that it was time for High Energy to go their separate ways. Koko pleaded for Owen to give him one more chance when Marty Jannetty showed up. Jannetty thought that it would be best for Koko to just leave, which angered The Birdman. Koko told Jannetty it was none of his business and the two men got into a shoving match which took Owen Hart and several road agents to break up. Another vignette was shown promoting the debut of Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns. The Undertaker pinned Glen Ruth with the Tombstone in 0:04:12. Rating: ** 1/2 Throughout the match, Vince McMahon goaded Jerry Lawler about his King of the Ring qualifying match against The Undertaker this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Mr. Perfect pinned P.J. Walker with the Perfect Plex in 0:04:20. Rating: * 1/4 During the bout, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo on Lex Luger, branding The Narcissist a coward for taking out a restraining order against him. Perfect then had a regular-sized man pose for him, saying he was just like Lex Luger. Perfect then chopped the man in the chest and said the blow was for Luger. After the match, Lex Luger appeared on the video wall and demanded that Mr. Perfect leave the ringside area so that Luger could come out for his King of the Ring qualifying match with Marty Jannetty, or else Perfect would be violating the terms of the restraining order and would face arrest. Perfect refused to budge at first, but when several police officers made their way out Perfect decided to leave. Prior to the bout, Lex Luger was forced to wear a protective pad across his forearm for the duration of the bout by referee Mike Chioda. Chioda said that Luger had to comply or WWF President Jack Tunney would fine Luger $25,000 and suspend him for 6 months. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Lex Luger defeated Marty Jannetty by countout in 0:09:52. Rating: ** 1/4 [Koko B. Ware interfered against Marty Jannetty.] Koko B. Ware made his way down to ringside during this match, accusing Marty Jannetty of breaking up Koko's tag team with Owen Hart. Jannetty stepped out onto the ring apron to confront him, whereupon Lex Luger took his forearm pad off behind the referee's back and smashed Jannetty in the back of the head with his steel plated forearm, knocking Jannetty out onto the floor. Jannetty was then counted out, so Luger advances in the tournament. Circuit information: Tonight Marty Jannetty got caught up in the developing situation between former High Energy tag team partners Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware and it cost Jannetty a place in the King of the Ring. Earlier in the show, Owen dissolved the High Energy team as he couldn't rely on his undependable partner Koko B. Ware any longer after Koko had persistently let Owen down in recent weeks. When Marty Jannetty attempted to diffuse the situation, Koko took offence and the two men got into a scuffle. Then Koko distracted Jannetty in the latter's King of the Ring qualifying match with Lex Luger, allowing the Narcissist to knock out Jannetty with his steel plated forearm and cause Jannetty to get counted out. Jannetty is livid with Koko and is desperate to get his hands on him. Lex Luger cowardice continued tonight as he refused to enter the arena until Mr. Perfect had left, hiding behind the restraining order that he produced last Monday on RAW. WWF President Jack Tunney must surely do something about this, as Perfect vs. Luger is a match that many WWF fans are dying to see. At least Tunney did do something about Luger's steel plated forearm which he has been using to knock out all of his opponents with, forcing The Narcissist to wear a protective pad or face being heavily fined and suspended. Despite all that, the nefarious Luger still managed to use his illegal forearm to pick up the win tonight and advance in the tournament. This week on Monday Night RAW, Jerry "The King" Lawler faces his gravest challenge when he goes up against The Undertaker in a King of the Ring tournament qualifying match! Also, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart will be in non-title action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 11/04/07 at 14:37:32 Monday Night RAW April 26th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Jerry Lawler defeated The Undertaker by countout in 0:09:05. Rating: ** 1/4 [Adam Bomb interfered against The Undertaker.] The Undertaker completely and utterly dominated Jerry Lawler throughout the course of this match. 'Taker planted Lawler with a choke slam and then signalled for the Tombstone when Adam Bomb made his way out from the back. Paul Bearer tried to warn Bomb off, but the Creation of Devastation grabbed Bearer and threatened to punch his lights out. Seeing that his manager was in danger, The Undertaker left the ring and confronted Bomb, totally forgetting about the match in hand. Bomb backed off down the aisle, daring 'Taker to follow and fight him. The Undertaker was then counted out, so Jerry "The King" Lawler scores an unexpected victory and advances to the quarter finals! Razor Ramon pinned Reno Riggins with the Razor's Edge in 0:04:58. Rating: * 1/2 Another vignette was shown promoting the debut of Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns. They will make their first WWF appearance next week on Monday Night RAW! Rick Martel pinned The Kamikaze Kid after a dropkick in 0:03:23. Rating: * 1/4 It was announced during the course of this match that "The Model" Rick Martel would face Mr. Perfect next week on Monday Night RAW in a King of the Ring qualifier. Bret Hart made Damien DeMento submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:09:22. Rating: ** 1/2 During the bout, Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji made their way out to scout WWF Champion Bret Hart. The Hitman easily picked up the win here with the Sharpshooter in over nine minutes. After the match, Bret Hart acknowledged the fans for their support, while Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji left, clearly unimpressed. Circuit information: The Adam Bomb-Undertaker dispute escalated tonight when The Creation of Devastation cost the Phenom his match when Bomb threatened Paul Bearer. 'Taker came to the aid of his manager and was counted out of the ring as a result, giving Jerry "The King" Lawler the unlikeliest of victories. The Undertaker wants Adam Bomb in the worst possible way, but Bomb doesn't seem intimidated by the Dead Man. Has Harvey Wippleman finally found the man to get rid of the Undertaker for good? Bret Hart rolled over Damien DeMento with little trouble tonight, but Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji did not seem impressed by the WWF Champion's performance. We are scheduled to hear from Yokozuna and Fuji next week in the King's Court regarding Yoko's WWF Championship match at the King of the Ring. Don't miss this weekend's edition of WWF Superstars, which features a colossal main event! WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka teams up with WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers to face Shawn Michaels and Money Inc in a two out of three falls match! Also on the show, Bob Backlund squares off against Skinner in a King of the Ring qualifying match and we will have comments from Koko B. Ware regarding his recent change of attitude. Till then, so long everybody!!
Vertigo	Posted on 11/08/07 at 21:38:35 Wow! I really should be working but I started reading and couldn't stop. This circuit is very enjoyable for me. I like how you're mixing things up and retelling the story. The buildup to Wrestlemania was unbelievable. I was pumped when it was time for the show. I honestly didn't think you could come out of 'mania with momentum to continue because so many good fueds had ended. You did, though. I really wish there more cards for me to read so please keep posting. Some current events to note, I like the Koko angle. I'm assuming his no-show was unplanned and you're rolling with that to create a good storyline for Superstars. I could see Koko leading the charge as a regular jobbing heel on Superstars, but how knows, maybe this will take Koko to new heights? Razor Ramon seems lost now. I'm hoping you get him involved in something compelling. The buildup for Hogan/Hart was so good that I'm having trouble getting behind the Hart/Yoko story and find myself more intrigued Luger/Perfect and even the IC Title scene. Perhaps that will change, though.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 11/23/07 at 12:14:30 Thanks a lot for your comments. Yeah, the first Koko no-show was completely unplanned, so I decided to turn it into an angle. It will result in Koko being repackaged with a bizarre new character which will hopefully get over. I have written all of the cards up to the KOTR, so I hope you find that the Yoko-Bret rivalry picks up. I have plans for Razor post-SummerSlam, as well as a huge push for Shawn Michaels planned for 1994. Thanks again for reading!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/03/07 at 15:38:07 WWF Superstars May 1st, 1993 Metro Center, Halifax, Nova Scotia Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Koko B. Ware. Koko said that any problems he had with Owen Hart were between him and Owen only and accused Marty Janetty of sticking his nose in where it wasn't wanted. It was because of that, Koko explained, that he stuck his nose into Jannetty's business and cost him his King of the Ring qualifying match with Lex Luger. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Bob Backlund made Skinner submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:06:44. Rating: ** Bob Backlund advanced in the King of the Ring tournament when he avoided Skinner swinging his crocodile claw and made the Alligator Man submit to the chicken wing. Backstage, Owen Hart thanked Marty Jannetty for teaming up with him when Koko B. Ware didn't show up and for generally being a good friend. Owen apologised to Jannetty for Koko costing Jannetty a place in the King of the Ring and said that he felt responsible. Owen said he had a lot of respect for Jannetty and all the success he had had as part of The Rockers. Owen asked Jannetty to be his new tag team partner and Jannetty said that he would be delighted to accept the offer. Koko B. Ware could be seen listening in to the conversation. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Mike Bell with the Diving Headbutt in 0:04:23. Rating: * 1/2 During the bout, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo and vowed that Tatanka would go "down in flames" at the King of the Ring. Backstage, Koko B. Ware jumped Marty Jannetty from behind and threw him into a steel door. Koko accused Jannetty of trying to steal everything he has and ruining his life. Koko challenged Jannetty to a match next week before being dragged away by officials. Two-out-of-three-Falls Match: The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) and Tatanka beat Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Shawn Michaels 2 falls to 1: x R. Steiner beat DiBiase via pinfall in 0:00:31 x DiBiase beat R. Steiner via a piledriver in 0:06:41 x R. Steiner beat DiBiase via the Steiner Bulldog in 0:17:25 Rating: ** 3/4 Fall #1: Rick Steiner pinned Ted Dibiase at the 31-second mark following a clothesline from the middle turnbuckle by Scott; Fall #2: Dibiase pinned Rick with a piledriver at around the 6-minute mark; Fall #3: Rick pinned Dibiase after the Steiner Bulldog at around 17:30. After the match, dissention was evident between the two members of Money Inc as Ted DiBiase and IRS got into a very heated argument. Jimmy Hart attempted to calm them down, but they began shoving each other. IRS then pushed Jimmy Hart to the mat and stormed off, leaving the Million Dollar Man in the ring. Circuit information: Their frustration at not recapturing the WWF Tag Team Titles seemed to boil over for Money Inc tonight. After coming out on the losing end of tonight's six man tag team main event, IRS and Ted DiBiase almost came to blows before Schyster shoved manager Jimmy Hart down and left. Jimmy Hart has his work cut out to get his men back on the same page, or the days of the Money Inc tag team may be numbered. A singles match has been booked for next week on Superstars between Marty Jannetty and Koko B. Ware. This personal situation escalated this evening as a bitter Koko attacked Jannetty backstage, feeling that the former Rocker has stolen his former tag team partner Owen Hart. Jannetty is eager to get his hands on Koko, so next week's bout should be a good one. We hope you'll join us this coming week for Monday Night RAW, where Mr. Perfect squares off against "The Model" Rick Martel in a King of the Ring qualifier, plus The Smoking Gunns make their much-awaited debut! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/03/07 at 15:39:24 Monday Night RAW May 3rd, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. As the show began, "The Model" Rick Martel appeared at ringside and told the RAW girls to leave. Martel took their sign and then walked around the ring with it himself. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Mr. Perfect pinned Rick Martel with the Perfect Plex in 0:10:58. Rating: After the bout, Mr. Perfect brought back out the two RAW girls Rick Martel had sent backstage earlier in the show. Perfect told Lex Luger that he was using his restraining order as an excuse and that he couldn't hide behind it forever. Perfect then left with the two ladies. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Casey Cleric and The Intruder when Bart Gunn pinned C. Cleric after the Sidewinder in 0:05:21. Rating: 3/4 Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns, were victorious in their WWF debut and won the fans' approval with their tremendous innovative tag team wrestling. The future looks bright for these two youngsters from the Great State of Texas! Jerry "The King" Lawler spent several minutes insulting the New York crowd before introducing this week's guests on the King's Court, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna. Fuji cut a promo on Yoko facing WWF World Champion Bret Hart at the King of the Ring and revealed that Yokozuna had now ballooned up to 550 pounds! Big Boss Man pinned Buddy Wayne after a splash in 0:01:22. Rating: 1/2* After the match, Lord Alfred Hayes interviewed Razor Ramon backstage. The Bad Guy said that next week on Monday Night RAW, he would defeat the Big Boss Man in their King of the Ring qualifier and then go on and win the whole tournament. A King of the Ring report aired, in which it was announced that The Undertaker would face Adam Bomb on the show. Papa Shango pinned Lance Cassidy after a legdrop in 0:03:06. Rating: DUD As the show drew to a close, the commentators built up next week's much anticipated King of the Ring qualifier between Razor Ramon and The Big Boss Man. Vince McMahon added that also next week, Yokozuna would be in action as Monday Night RAW went off air. Circuit information: Don't miss this weekend's edition of WWF Superstars, where Shawn Michaels will face Virgil in a King of the Ring Qualifying Match! Also on the show, Marty Jannetty will battle Koko B. Ware in a grudge match! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/03/07 at 15:41:04 WWF Superstars May 8th, 1993 Metro Center, Halifax, Nova Scotia Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Shawn Michaels and Virgil regarding their King of the Ring Qualifying Match on the show. The Heartbreak Kid promised to win the tournament and become "the prettiest king in history". [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Shawn Michaels pinned Virgil with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:08:11. Rating: ** Comments from WWF World Champion Bret Hart were shown, in which he revealed that he was unconcerned about Yokozuna's growing weight, saying that the bigger Yokozuna is, then the harder he'll fall. Adam Bomb pinned Rudy Gonzalez after a flying lariat in 0:00:36. Rating: 3/4* During the bout, an insert promo from Paul Bearer was shown in which he warned that Adam Bomb would Rest In Peace at the King of the Ring. Footage was shown of Max Moon's surprise win over The Berzerker three weeks ago, followed by The Berzerker's post match assault. Moon demanded tonight's rematch between the two men. Max Moon pinned The Berzerker after a sunset flip in 0:06:54. Rating: 1/2 Again, Max Moon managed to pull off something of an upset here, pinning The Berzerker with a sunset flip. The result didn't sit well with The Berzerker once again, but this time Moon fought off his attack and dropkicked him over the top rope. A video package was shown documenting the break up of High Energy and Marty Jannetty agreeing to be Owen Hart's new tag team partner. Koko B. Ware's beatdown of Jannetty from last week aired, followed by Koko's challenge which set up the following bout. Marty Jannetty pinned Koko B. Ware with the Rocker Dropper in 0:09:03. Rating: 3/4 The crowd had certainly turned on Koko B. Ware following his recent actions and Koko used some shady tactics throughout the course of the bout to swing the match-up in his favour. After a ref bump, Koko seized possession of the ring bell and went to use it on Marty Jannetty, but Owen Hart ran out from the back and snatched the bell off Koko. As Koko and Owen argued, Jannetty surprised The Birdman with the Rocker Dropper and picked up the win. After the match, Owen Hart threw Koko B. Ware over the top rope and out of the ring. Owen and Marty Jannetty celebrated together as Superstars went off air. Circuit information: Shawn Michaels defeated an extremely determined Virgil this evening in their King of the Ring qualifying match to join the five other men in the quarter finals of the tournament. The field looks extremely tough, with Crush, Lex Luger, Jerry Lawler, Bob Backlund and Mr. Perfect all advancing. The final two qualifying matches will take place next week, with Razor Ramon facing the Big Boss Man on Monday Night RAW and Doink the Clown battling "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on Superstars. Marty Jannetty defeated Koko B. Ware tonight and finally ended their dispute. Jannetty and Owen Hart are now looking forward to kick-starting their career as a tag team. We hope you'll join us this coming week for Monday Night RAW, where in addition to the Ramon-Boss Man King of the Ring Qualifier, both WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka and the mammoth 550 lb Yokozuna will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/15/07 at 22:25:43 Monday Night RAW May 10th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with build-up for the Big Boss Man vs. Razor Ramon King of the Ring Qualifying Match. Footage was shown of The Bad Guy's quick pre-WrestleMania victory over Boss Man six weeks ago on Superstars and also Boss Man's elimination of Ramon from the twenty man battle royal a month ago on RAW. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Razor Ramon pinned Big Boss Man after a belly-to-back superplex in 0:06:46. Rating: ** 3/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Jimmy Hart, along with Money Inc. All three men agreed that Money Inc had put their problems behind them and that they were back on the same page. Jimmy Hart said that Money Inc were ready to launch another assault on the WWF Tag Team Titles, starting tonight! Tatanka pinned Rich Myers with the End of the Trail in 0:03:46. Rating: * 1/2 During the bout, Bam Bam Bigelow came out to scout his opponent at the King of the Ring, Tatanka. When the match was over, Bigelow shot fire at Tatanka's sacred Lumbee tribe Chief Headdress, setting it ablaze! The ring crew set about putting the fire out while Tatanka and Bigelow brawled in the aisle. Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) defeated Mike Bell and Tony DeVito when DiBiase made M. Bell submit to the Million Dollar Dream in 0:05:29. Rating: ** 1/4 After the match, IRS took the mike and thanked the Steiner Brothers for keeping their belts warm for them, but warned that Money Inc were now more determined than ever to win them back. Yokozuna pinned Virgil with the Banzai Drop in 0:03:38. Rating: * 1/4 After the bout, Vince McMahon interviewed Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna in the ring. McMahon said that with all due respect, Virgil was no Bret Hart and that it was all about respect. This angered Fuji, who made Yoko attack Virgil and hit a belly-to-belly suplex and a second Banzai Drop. Fuji instructed Yokozuna to deliver a third Banzai Drop, but Bret Hart hit the ring to make the save. The Hitman and Yokozuna had a staredown as Monday Night RAW drew to a close. Circuit information: Yokozuna seems more focussed than ever to capture the WWF World Title from Bret Hart at the King of the Ring. Yokozuna has never been pinned or made to submit since debuting in the WWF six months ago and he holds two recent victories over The Hitman. But Bret Hart is in the form of his life, with victories over Ric Flair, Razor Ramon and Hulk Hogan in recent months, even making The Hulkster submit for the first time in his career. Something's gotta give next month in Dayton! Razor Ramon defeated the Big Boss Man in their King of the Ring qualifier tonight, which means there is one more qualifying match left and that will take place this weekend on Superstars with Jim Duggan taking on Doink the Clown. The first round line-up for the King of the Ring is almost complete! Bam Bam Bigelow torched Tatanka's sacred Lumbee tribe Chief Headdress tonight, making their bout for the Intercontinental Title at the King of the Ring personal. Tatanka is absolutely livid at Bigelow and had to be restrained from tearing the Beast From The East apart backstage. If Bigelow's plan was to throw Tatanka off his game, then he succeeded in doing so this evening. Money Inc seem to have put their recent problems behind them and looked resolute tonight, which could spell bad news for the Steiner Brothers and the rest of the tag teams in the WWF. We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars for that Jim Duggan-Doink KOTR qualifier, plus the new team of Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/15/07 at 22:27:49 WWF Superstars May 15th, 1993 Metro Center, Halifax, Nova Scotia Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. [King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Jim Duggan pinned Doink the Clown with the Three Point Stance in 0:09:09. Rating: 3/4 Jim Duggan completed the quarter final line up for the King of the Ring when he defeated Doink the Clown after avoiding the Whoopie Cushion and flooring the evil clown with the Three Point Stance. Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty defeated The Executioners (Executioner #1 and Executioner #2) when O. Hart pinned Executioner #2 with the Rocket Launcher in 0:06:22. Rating: 1/4 Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty impressed a lot of mat observers with their first victory as a new tag team. Thankfully, Owen had ditched his awful over-sized pyjama style tights for ring attire similar to Jannetty's. Some of their offence was reminiscent of The Rockers' old double team manoeuvres and this new duo could be a force to be reckoned with in the tag team division. Crush pinned Chris Duffy after a powerslam in 0:03:15. Rating: 1/4* During the bout, Jerry Lawler scoffed at Vince McMahon's claims that Crush was one of the favourites to win the King of the Ring tournament. Lawler revealed that he will be in action this coming week and invited McMahon to watch the real favourite for the tournament. Typhoon pinned The Cuban Terrorist with the Big Splash in 0:4:00. Rating: DUD The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated Timmy Turtle and Tommy Turtle when Samu pinned Timmy with the Flying Bodypress in 0:06:16. Rating: * 1/4 [Afa interfered against Timmy Turtle.] Vince McMahon announced at the end of the show that the quarter final brackets for the King of the Ring, to take place live on pay-per-view, would be revealed live on Monday Night RAW this week. Circuit information: After four weeks, the eight King of the Ring qualifying matches are finished and the field of competitors for the first round of the King of the Ring is now complete. The brackets for the tournament will be announced this coming week on Monday Night RAW, so don't you dare miss it! Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty displayed superb tag team continuity as they won their official debut match as a team. These two talented young grapplers looked like they had been teaming for years. We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where The Undertaker, Bam Bam Bigelow and Jerry "The King" Lawler will all be in singles competition, plus the King of the Ring tournament brackets will be revealed. Till then, so long everybody!
Vertigo	Posted on 12/16/07 at 21:32:33 Still going strong. You made me much more interested in the Tatanka/Bigelow match. I think they'll put on a good one. Owen/Jannetty is going to be good. I think they may one day make it to RAW, ha ha, but I can see Jannetty's fate. The same will happen to him as did with Micheals... Owen will take the spotlight and run, and Jannetty will be reduced to jobbing on Superstars again :)
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/21/07 at 18:21:31 Monday Night RAW May 17th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Jason Knight by disqualification in 0:04:07. Rating: 3/4* [Tatanka interfered against Bam Bam Bigelow.] Tatanka made his way down to the ring as Bam Bam Bigelow had Jason Knight set up for the diving headbutt and the Intercontinental champion shoved Bigelow off the top rope, causing the disqualification. Bigelow and Tatanka had a wild brawl which took several officials and road agents to break up. Bob Backlund made The White Shadow submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:05:27. Rating: 3/4 Former WWF Champion Bob Backlund completely outwrestled the mysterious White Shadow in this bout. Backlund has put in several impressive performances as of late. Could he be the next King of the Ring? Before the next match, Jerry "The King" Lawler once again insulted the New York crowd and vowed to make an example out of Louie Spicolli tonight. Jerry Lawler pinned Louie Spicolli with the Piledriver in 0:03:59. Rating: 1/2 Jerry Lawler wrestled this match microphone-in-hand, enabling him to commentate on his own match as he took Louie Spicolli apart. After the match, Lawler said that he would win the King of the Ring tournament and prove that he is the one and only king in the wrestling world. The Undertaker pinned Skinner with the Tombstone in 0:05:32. Rating: * 3/4 After the match, Adam Bomb hit the ring and cracked The Undertaker across the back with a steel chair. Undertaker completely no-sold the blow and disarmed Bomb, before the two men came to blows. Taker clotheslined Bomb over the top rope and both men crashed to the floor, whereupon they fought all the way to the back. WWF President Jack Tunney revealed the brackets for the King of the Ring tournament before Monday Night RAW went off the air. They are as follows: King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan Circuit information: The tournament brackets have been revealed and the WWF King of the Ring promises to be quite a night. Bob Backlund and Jerry Lawler showed tonight that they have the credentials to win it all, but I wouldn't like to pick a winner as absolutely anybody could emerge victorious. Tatanka has been on the warpath ever since Bam Bam Bigelow burned his sacred headdress last week and he attacked the Beast from the East tonight. Tatanka should be careful that his anger doesn't get the better of him, as he could lose focus...and also his Intercontinental Championship. The feud between Adam Bomb and The Undertaker rages on. Hopefully they can settle the score at the King of the Ring. Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars, where Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon will both be in singles action, plus the fledgling team of Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart will complete. Also, in a non-title match, Bret Hart faces "The Model" Rick Martel! Till then, so long everybody!

Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart defeated Damien DeMento and Repo Man when O. Hart pinned Repo with the Rocket Launcher in 0:10:29. Rating: * 1/4 Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart chalked up another victory tonight with a tremendous performance against the nefarious tandem of Repo Man and Damien DeMento. During the bout, the refocused Money Inc. cut an insert promo challenging Hart and Jannetty to match this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Shawn Michaels pinned Barry Horowitz with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:05:12. Rating: 3/4 During the bout, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo, promising to defeat Shawn Michaels in the quarter finals of the King of the Ring. Razor Ramon pinned Mark Thomas with the Razor's Edge in 0:04:46. Rating: * During the bout, Jim Duggan cut an insert promo. Hacksaw said that he had been king of the World Wrestling Federation before and vowed to become king again. Duggan said that beating Razor Ramon would be the next step on the road to achieving that feat. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Duane Gill and Tony DeVito when Billy Gunn pinned T. DeVito with the Flying Legdrop in 0:02:54. Rating: Vince McMahon revealed that WWF President Jack Tunney had another announcement to make regarding the King of the Ring tournament, and he would reveal all this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Bret Hart made Rick Martel submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:12:46. Rating: * 3/4 Bret Hart was made to work hard for this victory over Rick Martel this evening, but in the end The Model succumbed to the Sharpshooter. The Hitman was distracted during this bout by the presence of Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji, who once again appeared in the aisle to scout the WWF Champion. After the bout, Bret Hart invited Yokozuna into the ring. Yoko was happy to accept the invitation, but Mr. Fuji held his man back and ordered him to return the dressing room, much to the chagrin of the crowd. Circuit information: We can exclusively reveal that Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty have accepted the challenge from Money Inc and the two teams will face off this week on Monday Night RAW. This promises to be a great match, with both teams having strong aspirations of dethroning the Steiner Brothers as WWF Tag Team Champions. Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where in addition to the Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart vs. Money Inc tag team match, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will be action and WWF President Jack Tunney makes another King of the Ring announcement! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/26/07 at 10:45:10 Monday Night RAW May 24th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty defeated Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) when O. Hart pinned I.R.S. after a flying sunset flip in 0:13:18. Rating: * Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty scored somewhat of an upset here as Owen pinned IRS with a flying sunset flip to defeat former WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc. The roof almost blew off the Manhattan Center when Owen rolled up Schyster for the pin as Owen and Marty's wave of momentum continues. Money Inc's problems resurfaced after the match as their anger and frustration over this shock loss bubbled over. Ted DiBiase slapped IRS across the face, whereupon IRS tackled DiBiase to the mat and the two men traded punches as Money Inc disintegrated before the eyes of the wrestling world! Jimmy Hart tried to separate his charges, but DiBiase and IRS grabbed the Mouth of the South and threw him over the top rope! DiBiase and Schyster continued to brawl until they were eventually separated by referees and several wrestlers. Lex Luger defeated Casey Cleric by disqualification in 0:04:11. Rating: The cocky Lex Luger toyed with Casey Cleric throughout this bout, only concerned of embarrassing the youngster with no intention of pinning him. That brought out Mr. Perfect, who could not tolerate Luger's treatment of Cleric any longer. By coming to ringside, Perfect was violating the terms of Luger's restraining order against him. Luger reminded Perfect of this, but Perfect didn't care. Luger spat at Perfect, which brought Perfect into the ring and he attacked the Narcissist to the joy of the crowd! The referee called for the bell as several police officers dragged Perfect off Luger and handcuffed him! Luger managed to get in a few cheap shots on the defenceless Perfect as the cops hauled Perfect away. Backstage, Sean Mooney grabbed a few words with an irate Ted DiBiase. DiBiase said that the Money Inc tag team was officially over and claimed that he was sick of carrying IRS, who he branded the weak link of the team, as it was Schyster who was pinned when they lost the Tag Team Titles to the Steiners. Doink the Clown pinned El Matador with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:10:42. Rating: * 1/2 WWF President Jack Tunney made the earth-shattering announcement that the winner of the King of the Ring tournament would get a WWF Championship shot in the main event of SummerSlam on August 30th!! Max Moon pinned Repo Man with the Flying Back Bodypress in 0:08:22. Rating: * In the parking lot, Irwin R. Schyster was leaving the arena when Lord Alfred Hayes caught up with him. IRS confirmed that Money Inc were finished and said he was glad that he didn't have to carry the "Million Dollar Loser" any more! Circuit information: So Money Inc are history. Their loss tonight to Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back and both Ted DiBiase and IRS have agreed to dissolve the team. Problems were evident between the two several weeks ago and Jimmy Hart had apparently got DiBiase and IRS back on the same page. The harmony was not to last though and Owen and Jannetty took advantage to beat Money Inc and keep their superb run going. Lex Luger proved once again what a coward he is by attacking a handcuffed Mr. Perfect, who was arrested for violating The Narcissist's restraining order against him. WWF President Jack Tunney must surely step in and do something about this situation and quickly. However, Tunney tonight upped the stakes for the King of the Ring by naming the winner of the tournament the number one contender to the WWF Championship and rewarding them with a title shot in the main event of SummerSlam. That gives the eight superstars involved in the tourney an even greater incentive to win it all in just under four weeks' time. Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars, where WWF Tag Team Champions the Steiner Brothers will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/31/07 at 19:56:38 WWF Superstars May 29th, 1993 Civic Center, Huntington, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Double Trouble (Val Puccio and Tony Puccio) when S. Steiner pinned Tony after a sunset flip in 0:06:27. Rating: 3/4 After the match, Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty came out and congratulated The Steiner Brothers on their win and respectfully asked for a WWF Tag Team Title shot. The Steiners said that they had been impressed with Owen and Jannetty, especially after their victory over Money Inc on Monday Night Raw, and agreed to give them a title shot at the King of the Ring. The two teams shook hands as the fans cheered all four men. Earthquake pinned The Berzerker with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:06:40. Rating: Jerry "The King" Lawler said that the locker room was buzzing regarding the King of the Ring tournament, especially now that the winner of the tourney would receive a WWF World Title shot at SummerSlam. Jim Duggan pinned Skinner with the Three Point Stance in 0:05:35. Rating: * 3/4 During the match, Razor Ramon cut an insert promo, proclaiming that this "Razor" would cut Jim Duggan up at the King of the Ring. Mr. Perfect pinned Damien DeMento with the Perfect Plex in 0:02:32. Rating: 1/4 (Scott Taylor no-showed.) After the bout, Mr. Perfect challenged Lex Luger to show some guts and drop the restraining order against him, because all the WWF fans wanted to see them lock up. The crowd voiced their approval at the prospect of a Mr. Perfect vs. Lex Luger singles encounter. Big Boss Man pinned Tim Horner with the Boss Man Slam in 0:04:42. Rating: 1/4 Circuit information: WWF President Jack Tunney wasted no time in making the Steiner Brothers vs. Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty WWF Tag Team Title Match official for the King of the Ring. Tunney, like many WWF fans, has been very impressed with Owen and Jannetty's recent performances. But Tunney's decision has irked more than one established WWF tag team, who feel that Owen and Marty have snuck in the back door and bagged a title shot that they do not deserve. My sources tell me that Jack Tunney has ordered a meeting with Lex Luger regarding the restraining order that The Narcissist has out against Mr. Perfect. Surely Luger cannot hide behind it forever. Mr. Perfect destroyed Damien DeMento this evening and Jim Duggan ran through Skinner as both victors tuned up for the King of the Ring. Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty vs. The Steiner Brothers Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, as we continue to count down to the King of the Ring. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/02/08 at 12:48:16 Monday Night RAW May 31st, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Adam Bomb pinned Barry Horowitz with the Atom Smasher in 0:02:48. Rating: ** 1/2 After Adam Bomb made short work of Barry Horowitz, The Creation of Devastation took the microphone and called out The Undertaker! The lights in the Manhattan Center suddenly went out and when they came back on, The Man from The Darkside was standing behind Bomb. The crowd was going crazy as Bomb turned around to face 'Taker. Undertaker and Bomb traded punches, which Bomb got the better of. Bomb sent 'Taker into the ropes, but Undertaker ducked a clothesline and came back with a flying clothesline on Bomb. Bomb rolled out to ringside and 'Taker dived onto him with an incredible running tope!! An army of officials and road agents then separated the two men and sent them to the back. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) when Samu pinned Butch with the Flying Bodypress in 0:10:00. Rating: DUD Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed The Beverly Brothers, along with The Genius. They explained that they thought that Jack Tunney's decision to grant Marty Janetty and Owen Hart a tag team title shot absolutely stinks. The Genius said that there was a plethora of more deserving teams in the WWF locker room and the Beverlys were at the top of that list. The Headshrinkers then interrupted the segment, clearly in disagreement with the Beverlys' claim that Beau and Blake should be the number one contenders. Highlights aired from last week's show of Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty defeating Money Inc and then the subsequent disintegration of the Money Inc team. Lord Alfred Hayes then interviewed Irwin R. Schyster backstage. IRS said that despite the heated scenes last week, his split with Ted DiBiase was in fact amicable. Schyster wished DiBiase the best of luck for the future and IRS said he was concentrating on his own singles career. Schyster said that there would be nowhere to hide for all the tax cheats on the WWF roster. At the conclusion of the interview, Vince McMahon revealed that Ted DiBiase would be in singles action next week on Monday Night RAW. Typhoon pinned The Intruder with the Big Splash in 0:04:30. Rating: -1/4* Footage was shown of a meeting earlier today between WWF President Jack Tunney and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, along with Luger's attorney Clarence Mason. Tunney said that because there was a chance that Luger could end up facing Mr. Perfect in the King of the Ring tournament, he was asking Luger to lift the restraining order he has against Perfect or else Tunney would have no choice but to exclude Luger from the tourney. Clarence Mason was beside himself with rage at Tunney's warning, but The Narcissist begrudgingly agreed with Tunney's wishes. Papa Shango pinned Kamala after a small package in 0:07:01. Rating: 1/2* Vince McMahon began closing the show by plugging next week's edition of Monday Night RAW when he was interrupted by Papa Shango, who was descending into a voodoo trance in the centre of the ring. The lights in the Manhattan Center flickered and suddenly the whole arena was plunged into darkness. The ring ropes then dramatically burst into flames, casting an eerie glow on Papa Shango. Shango warned that for the sin of excluding him from the King of the Ring tournament, the practitioner of voodoo was placing a curse on the entire World Wrestling Federation!! Still surrounded by flames, Shango laughed evilly as Monday Night RAW went off air! Circuit information: Kudos to Jack Tunney for forcing Lex Luger to drop his restraining order against Mr. Perfect. Luger really had no choice, despite Clarence Mason's protestations, as The Narcissist is desperate to win the King of the Ring, just like the seven other superstars involved in the tournament. Perfect has been determined to get his hands on Luger for months and he could possibly get that chance in the near future. As a matter of fact, Mr. Perfect might even get that chance next week on Monday Night RAW, as Jack Tunney has booked a huge eight man tag team match featuring all eight participants in the King of the Ring tournament! It will be Crush, Jim Duggan, Bob Backlund and Mr. Perfect vs. Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon and Jerry "The King" Lawler in a one fall match!! It gives a huge opportunity for one man to gain a massive psychological advantage over the other seven participants going into the King of the Ring. Who will step up to the plate?? Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty will face The Beverly Brothers next week on Monday Night RAW. The Beverlys feel that Owen and Jannetty have received a tag team title shot without earning it, so Owen and Jannetty have the chance to prove their title credentials first hand to Beau and Blake next Monday night. Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty vs. The Steiner Brothers Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars, where Yokozuna will be in action, plus "Macho Man" Randy Savage will make a rare in-ring Superstars appearance!

Yokozuna pinned Mike Bucci with the Banzai Drop in 0:03:53. Rating: 1/2* After the match, Vince McMahon revealed that "Mean" Gene Okerlund would host a special interview this week on Monday Night RAW with Yokozuna and WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart in the ring at the same time. Virgil pinned Glen Ruth after a flying sunset flip in 0:05:47. Rating: * 3/4 Rick Martel made Reno Riggins submit to an abdominal stretch in 0:06:09. Rating: 1/2 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Luger said that he had actually taken out the restraining order against Mr. Perfect for Perfect's own good, to save Perfect from the beating of his life. The Narcissist said that he hoped they would meet during the course of the King of the Ring tournament so he could show Perfect just how "perfect" Luger really is. Max Moon pinned Skull Von Krush with the Flying Back Bodypress in 0:04:59. Rating: Backstage, WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka cut a promo on Bam Bam Bigelow, vowing to make the Beast From The East pay for the disrespect and embarrassment Bigelow caused to him and his people by burning the Native American's sacred headdress. Randy Savage pinned The Berzerker with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:07:49. Rating: ** 3/4 "Macho Man" Randy Savage was victorious here in a rare appearance on Superstars, defeating The Berzerker with the flying elbowdrop. Vince McMahon closed the show by plugging the huge eight man tag team match this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Jerry Lawler promised to pick up the winning fall on Monday and then go on to win the King of the Ring tournament as the show went off air. Circuit information: Here's the current King of the Ring card from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio, live on June 13th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty vs. The Steiner Brothers Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan We're all set for our main event on Monday Night RAW this coming week - a huge eight man tag team match featuring all of the participants in the King of the Ring tournament. It will be Crush, Jim Duggan, Bob Backlund and Mr. Perfect vs. Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon and Jerry "The King" Lawler! In addition to that, you will see a Yokozuna- Bret Hart face-to-face interview, making this - the last edition of Monday Night RAW before the King of the Ring - a must-see show! Till then, so long everybody!
Vertigo	Posted on 01/08/08 at 20:16:01 RAW should be good. I'm looking forward to see how Luger interacts (or doesn't) with Mr. Perfect. The buildup for these two is tremendous. I'm hoping it doesn't culminate during the KOTR because I think they deserve a huge blow-off match. I'm expecting fireworks during the Hart/Yoko segment.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/09/08 at 18:42:12 Monday Night RAW June 7th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Before the opening eight man tag team match, Vince McMahon declared that the King of the Ring hotline was now open, where callers could vote for who they think will win the King of the Ring tournament. Jerry Lawler, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels defeated Bob Backlund, Crush, Mr. Perfect and Jim Duggan when Lawler pinned Duggan after an inside cradle in 0:23:04. Rating: * Jerry Lawler scored the winning fall for his team when he avoided Jim Duggan's Three Point Stance clothesline and rolled Duggan up with a handful of tights. The big story of the match was the gutless Lex Luger avoiding Mr. Perfect at every opportunity - in fact, Perfect was never able to get his hands on The Narcissist. Lawler was not allowed to bask in the glory of his victory however as Duggan chased him to the back with his 2x4. Ted DiBiase defeated Buddy Wayne when Buddy Wayne passed out in an armbar submission in 0:04:20. Rating: "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase was victorious in his return to singles competition tonight. The match was also notable for an appearance by Sensational Sherri, who came out to scout DiBiase during the contest. Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when O. Hart pinned Blake after a Thesz press in 0:11:36. Rating: ** 3/4 [The Genius interfered against Owen Hart.] [The Genius interfered against Marty Jannetty.] Vince McMahon revealed the results of the King of the Ring hotline poll, which had Mr. Perfect as the winner with 32% of the vote, just ahead of Crush who polled 29%. "Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted an interview segment featuring champion and challenger in the WWF Title Match at the King of the Ring, Bret Hart and Yokozuna, respectively. Yoko was accompanied as ever by Mr. Fuji. Fuji reminded The Hitman that Yokozuna has defeated Bret Hart twice this year, while Yokozuna is still undefeated in his WWF career. Fuji added that Yokozuna is bigger and better than ever and told Bret Hart that he was looking at the next WWF Champion. The Hitman responded with the old saying - "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" - and vowed to make Yokozuna fall the hardest at the King of the Ring. Hart said he would inflict the first defeat of his WWF career on Yokozuna when he ties up his big tree trunk legs in the Sharpshooter and forces him to submit! Fuji looked like he was going into his pocket for some salt to blind the Hitman with, but Hart stopped him in his tracks. Yokozuna then jabbed Hart in the throat with the Japanese flagpole! Yoko dropped the Hitman with a savate kick and then squashed him with a Banzai Drop! Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji left the ring to a chorus of boos and were escorted to the back by officials. Moments later, Hart struggled to his feet under his own power and raised the title belt in the air. Circuit information: The King of the Ring is live this Sunday night, June 13th, only on pay-per-view. Let's preview the card. WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Yokozuna Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji demanded a WWF Title shot from Bret "Hitman" Hart, citing two victories over the champion earlier this year as the reason to be named number one contender. The Hitman agreed to give Yokozuna the title match and ever since then, Yokozuna has been bulking up - Fuji claims that Yoko now tips the scales at 550 lbs! Yokozuna is still undefeated in the World Wrestling Federation, but tonight when Bret Hart vowed to beat Yokozuna at the King of the Ring, Yoko snapped and attacked the Hitman. Hart was shaken up by the Banzai drop he suffered, but was able to leave the ring under his own power and is now determined more than ever to hand Yokozuna his first defeat in a WWF ring. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Tatanka captured the Intercontinental Title from Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania IX as the Native American kept his undefeated streak alive. Bam Bam Bigelow then earned a shot at the IC Title as a result of winning a 20-man battle royal on Monday Night RAW back in April, setting up this match at the King of the Ring. However, Bigelow made this situation personal when he set fire to Tatanka's sacred Lumbee tribe Chief headdress. Tatanka has promised to extract revenge from the Beast from the East this Sunday for the shame and embarrassment Bigelow has brought on Tatanka's people. But has Bigelow done enough to get in Tatanka's head and thrown him off his game? WWF Tag Team Championship: Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty vs. The Steiner Brothers Ever since Owen Hart dumped the unreliable Koko B. Ware as his tag team partner and hooked up with Marty Jannetty, this new team have got off to a flier. They have yet to taste defeat in the tag team division and in their biggest win to date, they effectively ended the team of Money Inc when they defeated DiBiase and IRS on Monday Night RAW last month. Owen and Jannetty respectfully asked WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers for a title shot at the King of the Ring and the champions gladly accepted. However, this is not a situation that has sat well with other teams in the WWF, who feel they are more deserving of a shot at the gold. Grudge Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb The dispute between these two behemoths kicked off during a battle royal to determine the number one contender to the Intercontinental Title, when both men eliminated each other from the fray. Since then, Undertaker and Adam Bomb have clashed in a series of brawls and the Creation of Devastation has never backed down from the Deadman during any of them. Bomb's manager Harvey Wippleman claims that Bomb does not fear the Phenom, but does Bomb have enough to defeat the 'Taker at the King of the Ring? King of the Ring Quarter Finals: Crush vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect Razor Ramon vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan These four quarter final matches will all have a fifteen minute time limit, the semi finals will be contested under a thirty minute time limit and the final match will have a sixty minute time limit. The winner of this single elimination tournament will have to show incredible heart and endurance and the stakes have been raised even higher with Jack Tunney proclaiming that the winner will receive a WWF Title shot in the main event of SummerSlam! We hope you'll join us live this Sunday night on pay-per-view for the King of the Ring! Till then, so long everybody!!

Schyster pinned The Lightning Kid after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:08:01. Rating: ** 1/4 The plucky Lightning Kid put in a great showing here, almost upsetting IRS on several occasions. However, the unscrupulous Schyster ultimately came out on top when he knocked out the youngster with his briefcase. After the match, IRS decided to teach the young Lightning Kid a lesson as he slapped on the Penalty and refused to release the hold.

Rating: * 1/2 Lex Luger pinned Big Boss Man with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:10:44. Rating: * 1/4 Tatanka defeated Razor Ramon by disqualification in 0:10:16. Rating: * 3/4 (Tatanka retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Bam Bam Bigelow interfered against Tatanka.] Razor Ramon was disqualified when Bam Bam Bigelow came down to ringside and shoved Tatanka off the top rope when the Native American was going for a flying Tomahawk chop. After the bout, Ramon and Bigelow double teamed Tatanka. However, Tatanka moved as Razor held him in place for a Bigelow clothesline and Bam Bam knocked the Bad Guy out of the ring. Tatanka then clotheslined the Beast from the East over the top rope to the floor. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when S. Steiner pinned Samu with the Frankensteiner in 0:17:05. Rating: * (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [Afa interfered against Scott Steiner.] [Afa interfered against Rick Steiner.] The Undertaker defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by disqualification in 0:09:21. Rating: 3/4 [Adam Bomb interfered against The Undertaker.] The Undertaker seemed to have victory in the bag when he choke slammed Bam Bam Bigelow, but as he went for the cover, Adam Bomb made his way out and pulled the referee out of the ring, forcing the DQ. Bigelow joined Bomb in beating 'Taker down, but Tatanka ran out to even the odds and soon Tatanka and the Man from the Darkside fought off their assailants. Bret Hart pinned Bob Backlund after a rollover in 0:33:17. Rating: ** 1/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Bret Hart inflicted a very first pinfall loss in Madison Square Garden on Bob Backlund after a tremendous contest that lasted over thirty minutes. After the bout, the two men shook hands and Backlund raised Hart's arm in a showing of respect. Card rating: * 3/4
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/12/08 at 23:39:13 KING OF THE RING '93 June 13th, 1993 Nutter Center, Dayton, Ohio Your commentators are Jim Ross, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. [King of the Ring Tournament Quarter Final]: Crush made Jerry Lawler submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:08:08. Rating: Crush was victorious over Jerry "The King" Lawler with the head vice in this WrestleMania rematch, so the big man from Hawaii advances to the semi finals of the tournament. [King of the Ring Tournament Quarter Final]: Lex Luger pinned Bob Backlund with a rolling cradle in 0:04:25. Rating: * Lex Luger was the next man to reach the semi finals when he rolled up Bob Backlund, but placed his feet on the ropes to secure the pinfall over the former WWF champion. But do we expect anything else out of the nefarious Narcissist? During the bout, Crush cut an insert promo boasting that it didn't matter to him who he faces in the semi final, because he lives for competition and vowed that nobody would stop him winning the tournament. [King of the Ring Tournament Quarter Final]: Mr. Perfect pinned Shawn Michaels with the Perfect Plex in 0:12:58. Rating: * 3/4 In the match of the night so far, Mr. Perfect defeated Shawn Michaels with the Perfect Plex to proceed in the King of the Ring. The Heartbreak Kid was frustrated with himself afterward as he had blown several good opportunities to put Perfect away. Michaels refused a handshake with Perfect afterward. [King of the Ring Tournament Quarter Final]: Razor Ramon pinned Jim Duggan after a bulldog in 0:12:11. Rating: 3/4 Razor Ramon eliminated Hacksaw Jim Duggan from the tournament when he avoided Duggan's Three Point Stance charge into the corner and put him away with a bulldog. During the match, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo wishing Lex Luger the best of luck in the tournament and added that he looking forward to beating Luger in the final. Tatanka defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by countout in 0:11:14. Rating: 1/4 (Tatanka retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) This Intercontinental Title Match was an all-out brawl from bell to bell. The fight spilled to the floor, where Bam Bam Bigelow threatened to throw the steel steps at Tatanka. The referee stepped in to stop it from happening, so Bigelow charged at Tatanka but the Intercontinental Champion moved and the Beast from the East collided with the ringpost! Tatanka then dropped Bigelow with a Samoan Drop on the floor and the challenger was counted out. As Tatanka celebrated the win, Bam Bam Bigelow laid out the champion from behind and destroyed him with two flying headbutts off the top rope. Bigelow held the championship belt aloft and was booed out of the building. Adam Bomb and The Undertaker battled to a double countout in 0:07:43. Rating: Adam Bomb and The Undertaker threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other during the course of this melee. 'Taker clotheslined Bomb over the top rope and both men crashed down to the ringside area, where the brawl continued. The Deadman sent Bomb flying over the guardrail and dived onto him with an incredible leaping clothesline over the railing! Both men were ultimately counted out, but Bomb and 'Taker couldn't care less - they continued to fight through the crowd and into the backstage area of the Nutter Center. Backstage, Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna were interviewed by Sean Mooney. Fuji reiterated his claim that Yokozuna would capture the WWF Title tonight and proclaimed that as the biggest WWF champion in history, he would dominate the promotion for years to come. Lex Luger made his way out for the first King of the Ring semi final against Crush. Luger was given the usual hostile reception from the Ohio crowd. Ring announcer Howard Finkel then introduced Crush, but the big Hawaiian didn't appear. Crush's music played for a second time, but there was still no sign of Luger's opponent. Footage was then shown on the video wall of an unconscious Crush lying on the floor of a backstage corridor of the arena. Crush was surrounded by officials, who were calling for paramedics and requesting an ambulance. Since there was no way Crush was able to compete, referee Earl Hebner proclaimed that Lex Luger was the victor by forfeit. The Narcissist is in the final of the King of the Ring! Injury: Crush was attacked backstage. Crush received an injury and will be out for 12 cards. [King of the Ring Tournament Semi Final]: Mr. Perfect pinned Razor Ramon with the Perfect Plex in 0:12:38. Rating: 1/4 The incentive of facing Lex Luger in the King of the Ring final was seemingly all Mr. Perfect needed to secure the win over Razor Ramon here. Perfect wriggled free from the Razor's Edge and dropped the Bad Guy with the Perfect Plex for the three count. In the parking lot, Crush was shown being carefully loaded into a waiting ambulance and taken to a local medical facility. Backstage, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviewed WWF Champion Bret Hart. The Hitman said that it didn't matter to him what size Yokozuna is, he doesn't fear him. Hart said that despite Yokozuna's sneak attack last Monday night, the WWF Champion revealed that he was feeling great and determined to retain his title tonight. Bret Hart pinned Yokozuna via pinfall in 0:10:31. Rating: 1/2 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Bret Hart pinned Yokozuna to retain the gold after Yokozuna lost balance and fell from the middle rope, stunned after hitting his head on the canvas. This was Yokozuna's first loss in the WWF. After the match, Mr. Fuji lambasted Yokozuna for losing and slapped him across the face. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart when S. Steiner pinned Jannetty after a powerslam in 0:12:41. Rating: * 3/4 (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The Steiners may have ended up on the winning side in this tag team title match, but Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty pushed them all the way in this hotly contested encounter. During the match, Koko B. Ware was shown in the crowd sporting a new look. He was wearing sinister white facepaint and a bizarre long coat made from feathers. Both teams shook hands after the match and the champions left Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty alone in the ring while the crowd cheered them for their efforts. A crow then flew into the ring and landed on the top rope, distracting the unsuccessful challengers. The crow took flight once again and then landed on Koko B. Ware's shoulder. Koko stared at Owen and Jannetty momentarily before leaving. Backstage, Mr. Perfect was interviewed by "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Perfect said that although he had come through two hard-fought battles and Lex Luger had only wrestled once, he would not use it as an excuse. Perfect said that defeating the Narcissist would be the "perfect" way to become the King of the Ring. As preparations began for the King of the Ring final, the lights in the arena went out. Fire then suddenly shot out of the ringposts and Papa Shango appeared on the video wall, cackling wickedly. Vince McMahon recalled Papa Shango's threat to cast a spell on the entire WWF for not including him in the King of the Ring tournament. [King of the Ring Tournament Final]: Lex Luger pinned Mr. Perfect via pinfall in 0:16:50. Lex Luger suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 10 cards. Rating: 1/2 Lex Luger stalled for several minutes at the beginning of this King of the Ring final, before WWF fans finally got to see Luger lock up with Mr. Perfect, a match that has been in the making since Luger debuted in January. During the course of this bout, Luger seemed to hurt himself when he landed badly on a backdrop. Perfect appeared at times to be running out of steam, exhausted after wrestling twice already this evening. In the end, Luger came out triumphant when he shifted his weight on a Perfect superplex attempt and landed on top of Perfect, pinning his shoulders to the mat for the win. The arena was in a stunned silence at The Narcissist's clean victory over Mr. Perfect. Luger, who will be crowned WWF King of the Ring tomorrow night on Monday Night RAW and will now challenge for the WWF Title at SummerSlam, revelled in the jeers and boos of the capacity crowd as the pay-per-view drew to a close. Card rating: * Match observations: The King of the Ring tournament is in the history books and it was "The Narcissist" Lex Luger who emerged as the extremely unpopular winner. Luger was victorious over an exhausted Mr. Perfect - who had come through two gruelling matches earlier in the evening compared to Luger's tainted five minute win over Bob Backlund - to win the tourney and claim the crown. In doing so, Luger has secured himself a WWF Title shot in the main event of the SummerSlam pay-per-view. However, the night was not without cost for The Narcissist, as he picked up a back injury in his eagerly anticipated match-up with Mr. Perfect. Luger will go for scans tomorrow to determine the extent of the injury. The reason Lex Luger didn't wrestle in the semi finals is because his opponent, Crush, was taken out backstage. Crush was found unconscious in a backstage corridor and was taken to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with a serious concussion - his second this year. Crush will be out of action for an undetermined amount of time in order to recuperate properly. Meanwhile, WWF President Jack Tunney has requested security tapes from staff at the Nutter Center in order to get to the bottom of this situation and clarify who attacked Crush and cost him his opportunity at the King of the Ring. Bret Hart defeated Yokozuna and retained his WWF Championship tonight in a hard-fought encounter. Yokozuna, who had been bulking up for this battle, lost his balance on the turnbuckles and struck his head on the canvas, knocking himself silly and enabling The Hitman to score the pin. Mr. Fuji is irate at Yoko for his incompetence and his failure to take the title from Hart. Nothing seems to have been settled in the feud between Adam Bomb and The Undertaker as both men were counted out of the ring during their match tonight. Both of these behemoths are eager to lock up again in the near future. Similarly, Bam Bam Bigelow is upset that he couldn't capture the Intercontinental Title from Tatanka after he was counted out when the Native American dropped him with the End of the Trail on the ringside floor. Bigelow attacked Tatanka after the match and laid him out, so Tatanka wants a piece of the Beast from the East again just as much as Bigelow wants the Intercontinental Champion. The Steiner Brothers and Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty put on a tremendous match for the Tag Team Titles, but in the end the Steiners' experience as a team shone through and they held on to the gold. However, Owen and Jannetty certainly earned Rick and Scott's respect tonight. This match-up was notable for the return of sorts of Koko B. Ware, clad in bizarre feathered garb and his face decorated with white facepaint. Thanks to all of you for joining us for the King of the Ring this evening. We hope you'll join us again tomorrow night for Monday Night RAW, which features the coronation ceremony of the WWF King of the Ring - "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Till then, so long everybody!!
Vertigo	Posted on 01/14/08 at 15:51:43 This was a good PPV and a good read. The new Koko is interesting. No more Frankie. Does the crow have a name? I wonder if Papa Shango has anything to do with Koko's transformation. Koko is quite bitter... Luger winning isn't a surprise, but winning cleanly is. I thought Perfect would have to have been killed to lose a match against Luger. Looking forward to the buildup for Luger/Hart. How about Yoko getting pwned by the ropes? Then Fuji rubbing it in his face. I hope 'taker gets a better role soon. I mean, it's cool what he's doing with Adam Bomb, but he just seems to be getting lost. I'm hoping a future program with Papa Shango will be good, or eventually a top contendors spot. At least more TV time!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/16/08 at 22:28:31 Monday Night RAW June 14th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with stills from last night's King of the Ring pay-per-view, where Lex Luger was crowned King of the Ring and Bret Hart retained the WWF Title over Yokozuna. Big Boss Man defeated Bam Bam Bigelow by countout in 0:07:48. Rating: 1/2 Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW began with this rematch from the Royal Rumble. Bam Bam Bigelow ended up being counted out when he took off after WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka, who had showed up in the aisle. Tatanka and Bigelow traded blows before eventually being separated by officials, road agents and the Big Boss Man. Ted DiBiase made Kamala submit to the Million Dollar Dream in 0:06:35. Rating: * [Sensational Sherri interfered against Kamala.] Ted DiBiase scored the win here after interference from his former manager Sensational Sherri, who tripped Kamala as the Ugandan Giant bounced off the ropes. That allowed DiBiase to set up the Million Dollar Dream. After the match, Ted DiBiase and Sensational Sherri reunited with a hug. Papa Shango pinned Mike Bell with the Shoulderbreaker in 0:04:08. Rating: DUD After disposing of Mike Bell, Papa Shango cast a menacing stare at the commentary team and began going into a voodoo trance. Bobby Heenan was about to wet himself out of sheer terror, while Vince McMahon and Randy Savage braced themselves for what might happen. Suddenly, all the monitors on the announcers' desk blew up, sending sparks flying everywhere! Shango laughed evilly in the ring and then exited, while Heenan crept out from underneath the table to make sure that the coast was clear. When RAW returned from commercial, the ring was decked out with a red carpet, a grand throne, a crown, a sceptre and a robe, in preparation for the coronation of the King of the Ring. Jerry "The King" Lawler was ready to do the honours, accompanied by two of his masked knights. Lawler said that it takes a king to know a king and with great pleasure introduced the winner of the King of the Ring tournament - "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! Luger made his way out to a chorus of boos from the hostile New York City crowd. The Narcissist entered the ring and the two knights placed the robe over his shoulders. Lawler handed him the sceptre while the knights knelt before him. Luger took the mic and put over his efforts last night, describing it as the toughest and most gruelling night of his life (but neglecting to mention that he only wrestled twice, unlike the other finalist Mr. Perfect who was in action three times). The Narcissist revealed that he suffered both a herniated and bulged disc in his lower back during his victory in the final over Mr. Perfect, but added that no amount of pain or injury would have stopped him becoming the King of the Ring. Bobby Heenan then jumped into the ring and begged Lawler for the chance to crown Luger himself. The crowd chanted "Weasel!" as Lawler gladly stepped aside and Heenan took the crown. Heenan said that this was going to be the greatest honour of his life and as he prepared to crown Luger, Jack Tunney suddenly appeared in the aisle and called a halt to the proceedings!! WWF President Jack Tunney said that he had just reviewed the CCTV footage from the Nutter Center and it showed very clearly who Crush's attacker was! The viewers at home were then shown footage of Lex Luger blasting Crush from behind with his steel plated forearm in a backstage corridor, knocking Crush out cold!! Tunney revealed to the fans in attendance that The Narcissist was the mystery assailant and because of this, he was stripping Luger of his King of the Ring title and fining him $30,000! The crowd erupted in cheers as Luger almost had a fit in the ring. However, Tunney added that we needed to determine a King of the Ring for the World Wrestling Federation and a number one contender to the WWF Title for SummerSlam. Tunney then booked a rematch of the King of the Ring final - Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect - for next week on Monday Night RAW!! Luger interrupted and tried to have the match delayed as he was under doctor's orders to rest his injured back, because surgery would just aggravate his herniated discs and make the damage irreparable. Tunney said that Luger had no right to complain about anything and doubted the severity of Luger's injury. The WWF President added that if Luger does not participate next week, then he will be suspended indefinitely!! The Narcissist was beside himself with anger and as if his night couldn't get any worse, one of the knights in the ring unmasked to reveal - Mr. Perfect!! Perfect bounced Luger all over the ring and then clotheslined Luger out of the throne! Luger bailed out of the squared circle favouring his injured back, while Perfect placed the crown on his head to a huge pop! The crowd chanted Perfect's name while Luger scurried off to the back as RAW drew to a hectic close! Circuit information: So it turns out that Lex Luger assaulted Crush before their scheduled King of the Ring semi-final, knocking the big Hawaiian out with his steel plated forearm and putting Crush out for the foreseeable future. This is Crush's second severe concussion this year and doctors have advised him to rest up and heal properly, as an early return to the ring could be career threatening. As for The Narcissist, I am very surprised that Jack Tunney is giving him another shot at the King of the Ring. Tunney fined Luger heavily - Luger's second big fine in three months - and many WWF fans will agree that Luger is totally undeserving to wear the crown. This is a big opportunity for Mr. Perfect, who can go into the match fresh against an injured Luger - The Narcissist was actually telling the truth about his injured back. Don't miss next week's huge edition of Monday Night RAW, where Perfect and Luger will clash for the King of the Ring and a WWF Title shot at SummerSlam! After failing to win the WWF Intercontinental Title from Tatanka last night, Bam Bam Bigelow has demanded a meeting with Jack Tunney to book a rematch. Tatanka will be eager to get Bigelow in the ring again after The Beast from the East's attack on him after their bout at the King of the Ring. Ted DiBiase and Sensational Sherri were reunited again tonight after Sherri helped DiBiase defeat Kamala. Sherri and DiBiase were a formidable duo throughout 1991 and DiBiase will look to rise through the singles ranks with Sherri once again by his side. Papa Shango is striking fear into the hearts of everybody associated with the WWF after threatening to curse the entire company. We got a taste of what Shango is capable of this evening - who will be his next target? We hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where IRS will face off against Max Moon and we'll hear from WWF Champion Bret Hart. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/19/08 at 14:11:56 WWF Superstars June 19th, 1993 Metro Center, Halifax, Nova Scotia Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) defeated The Executioners (Executioner #1 and Executioner #2) when Sags pinned Executioner #1 after a flying elbowdrop in 0:05:06. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, Jimmy Hart made his way down to the ring and congratulated the Nasty Boys on their victory, acting like they were all the best of friends. Hart then tried to recruit his former charges as his new managerial clients. Knobbs and Sags responded by giving the Mouth of the South a Pit Stop! That'll be a "no", then. Footage was shown of last week's post match assault on the Lightning Kid by IRS and the resulting save from Max Moon. Max Moon pinned Irwin R. Schyster after an inside cradle in 0:06:20. Rating: *** 3/4 Max Moon picked up the unlikely victory here, thanks to his new ally The Lighting Kid. Moon was beginning to gather some momentum during the match when IRS went for his briefcase, but The Kid came down to ringside and swiped the Haliburton away! As Schyster yelled at The Kid, Moon rolled up the taxman for the three count! After the bout, The Lighting Kid celebrated with Max Moon and held his arm aloft in triumph. However, IRS nailed The Kid from behind with his briefcase and then used it to knock out Moon with a straight shot to the head! Schyster fixed his tie and then left the ring to the obvious disdain of the crowd in attendance. El Matador pinned Casey Cleric with the El Paso del Muerte in 0:03:02. Rating: * 1/4 Outside, a silhouette of a man was displayed on a wall, accompanied by upsetting noises of screeching, flapping sounds and bird cries. The man cut a promo about imprisoning birds in their cages and how birds have always been caged, eaten, shot and abused throughout human history. The man pondered what chaos would be unleashed upon the orderly world if all birds were released. We were then shown a close-up of the man's face, which belonged to the artist formerly known as Koko B. Ware. Vince McMahon revealed that Koko B. Ware now wishes to be known simply as "The Birdman", and he'll be in action on Superstars next week. Rick Martel made Barry Horowitz submit to the Boston Crab in 0:04:37. Rating: ** Footage was shown from Monday Night RAW of the aborted coronation ceremony for the King of the Ring winner Lex Luger. The rematch of the King of the Ring final between Luger and Mr. Perfect this coming Monday night was plugged, with the winner of that match being crowned the undisputed King of the Ring and earning a WWF Title shot at SummerSlam. Jerry Lawler felt that the match was the sham, as Luger had already won the tournament and was carrying a severe back injury. Vince McMahon countered by saying that Luger hadn't proven anything, apart from what a coward he is. Skinner pinned Ross Greenberg with the Gatorbreaker in 0:03:49. Rating: -1/4* Vince McMahon conducted an in-ring interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Hart thanked the fans for their support in his war with Yokozuna and revealed that he was still feeling the effects of his match with the 550 lb sumo warrior. Hart said he was looking forward to defending the title against either Lex Luger or Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam and said he would be watching their match with great interest this Monday night. The Hitman did admit though that he would relish a rematch with Perfect after their classic battle over the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam '91, which undoubtedly established Hart as a singles competitor. Circuit information: There appears to be a developing situation between IRS and the young duo of Max Moon and The Lightning Kid. Moon scored an upset win over Schyster after he was distracted by the Kid, but then IRS beat up both men afterwards with the aid of his briefcase. We saw Koko B. Ware's alter-ego, The Birdman, show up at the King of the Ring. Koko has undergone a significant transformation into this evil, sadistic, sinister character. We'll see The Birdman in action next week. WWF Champion Bret Hart is certainly interested in the outcome of the Mr. Perfect vs. Lex Luger match this Monday night on RAW, as there is a good chance that he'll be facing the winner in the main event of SummerSlam. This week's edition of RAW is a show you do not want to miss! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/20/08 at 13:44:28 Monday Night RAW June 21st, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The Undertaker pinned Skinner with the Tombstone in 0:05:01. Rating: ** After the match, Adam Bomb hit the ring and he and The Undertaker brawled all over ringside. Bomb bashed 'Taker's head off the announcers' desk, but it had no effect on the Dead Man! Bomb then decked 'Taker with a wicked chair shot to the skull and began stripping off some of the protective mats from the ringside floor. Officials tried to intervene, but Bomb shoved them away. The Creation of Devastation hoisted The Undertaker up and drove him down onto the hard, unprotected floor with an Atom Smasher!! As referees and road agents dragged Bomb back to the locker room, Paul Bearer tried in vain to get The Undertaker to sit up. The lights in the arena then went out and when they returned, The Undertaker was gone! Bob Backlund pinned Tony DeVito after a bodyslam in 0:04:28. Rating: * Vince McMahon was about to interview "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan backstage about his upcoming match, but when the cameras cut to the back, Duggan was laid out and surrounded by officials and road agents. There was black goo seeping out of Duggan's forehead, leaving us in no doubt as to who was responsible. Papa Shango's music played in the background and the evil laugh of the voodoo practitioner could be heard emanating from somewhere in the arena. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Timmy Turtle and Tommy Turtle when R. Steiner pinned Timmy with the Steiner Bulldog in 0:02:52. Rating: 3/4 During this match-up, Vince McMahon announced that The Steiner Brothers would defend the WWF Tag Team Titles against The Beverly Brothers on next week's show. Prior to this rerun of the King of the Ring final, Lex Luger made his way down to the ring accompanied by his attorney, Clarence Mason. Mason took the mic and claimed that the WWF and its president Jack Tunney could not force an injured man to wrestle. Mason added that if Luger is made to compete tonight, then he will file a lawsuit against the company and sue it for every penny its worth. Mason produced a stack of papers from his jacket pocket and waved them in the air, only for Mr. Perfect to interrupt, snatch the papers away and tear them to shreds. As the crowd cheered, Perfect grabbed Mason and threw him over the top rope! That gave the Narcissist the opportunity to attack Perfect from behind and once the official made Luger put on the protective forearm pad the match was on! Lex Luger pinned Mr. Perfect with a small package in 0:19:29. Rating: ** Mr. Perfect focused his attack predominantly on the injured back of Lex Luger, but it was Perfect who also wound up with a hurt back after Luger reversed a whip into the guardrail and backdropped him on the floor. The Narcissist rammed Perfect back-first into the ring apron and the ringpost several times, but when he tried to punish Perfect with the torture rack his own back gave out on him and he was unable to complete the move. The finish came when Luger removed his forearm pad behind the referee's back and charged at Perfect with his steel plated forearm, but Perfect moved and The Narcissist collided hard with the turnbuckles. Perfect attempted to capitalise with the Perfect Plex, but Luger rolled Perfect up in a small package for the three count out of nowhere! The crowd jeered the outcome of the bout as an elated Bobby Heenan jumped into the ring to celebrate with Lex Luger, the undisputed WWF King of the Ring. The Narcissist basked in the glory of his victory as RAW drew to a close. Circuit information: We can dispute it no longer - "The Narcissist" Lex Luger is the WWF King of the Ring. Despite all of his skulduggery and cowardice since his debut in January, you have to give Luger credit - he gave it his all tonight, battling through a serious back injury to defeat Mr. Perfect cleanly and earn a WWF Title shot in the main event of SummerSlam. Luger will now take time off to recuperate from his herniated disc so that he is fresh and ready to challenge for the WWF Title at the biggest party of the summer. Adam Bomb carried out a sickening attack on The Undertaker tonight, denting a steel chair over the head of the Deadman and drilling him with the Atom Smasher on the exposed concrete floor. Bomb and the 'Taker have been at each other's throats for weeks now, but the Creation of Devastation and his manager Harvey Wippleman are convinced that they have put the Phenom out of action - permanently. Papa Shango's shenanigans continued tonight as the practitioner of voodoo carries on terrorising the WWF. Is someone going to step up and confront Shango and put an end to his tricks? We hope you'll join us this weekend for Superstars, which features the much anticipated debut of The Birdman! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/24/08 at 22:17:58 WWF Superstars June 26th, 1993 Metro Center, Halifax, Nova Scotia Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with sounds of bird calls and screeching in the arena, which turned into rock music as the strange Birdman made his entrance. The Birdman appeared above the entrance way, clad in a long coat made out of bird feathers. There was a huge pair of wings sewn into the arms and back which opened up when The Birdman spread his arms apart. The Birdman descended down into the aisle and made his way to the ring. The Birdman pinned Casey Cleric with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:22. Rating: * 1/4 After disposing of Casey Cleric with a springboard headbutt, The Birdman tilted his head to the side, spread his arms apart and called out. Suddenly, a flock of crows descended from the rafters and abruptly swept down on Casey Cleric, pecking at him and chasing him out of the ring! The Birdman called out again and all of the birds flew over to him and landed on various parts of his body. This Birdman is certainly one of the most bizarre characters we have ever seen in the World Wrestling Federation. Footage was shown of last week's shock defeat of Irwin R. Schyster by Max Moon, and the subsequent beatdown of Moon and the Lighting Kid by IRS and his briefcase afterwards. The Lighting Kid cut a promo on the taxman, challenging him to a match next week. Typhoon pinned Duane Gill with the Big Splash in 0:05:27. Rating: * 1/4 Bam Bam Bigelow was interviewed by Sean Mooney, in which he revealed that he was petitioning Jack Tunney's office for another shot at WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka. Doink the Clown pinned P.J. Walker with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:04:10. Rating: Backstage, Jimmy Hart approached The Beverly Brothers about taking them on as his new managerial clients. Hart knew that they had a big WWF Tag Team Title shot coming up this Monday Night against The Steiners and tried to convince them to let him manage them, as he had taken a whole host of teams to the titles. Just then, The Genius - who is The Beverlys' manager, entered the room, realised what was going on and chased Hart away! El Matador pinned The Berzerker after a waistlock suplex in 0:06:54. Rating: * (Virgil no-showed.) Irwin R. Schyster cut a promo backstage, gladly accepting The Lightning Kid's challenge for next week. He said that although the Kid probably isn't old enough to pay taxes, he would still make him pay dearly on next week's show. Vince McMahon closed the show by hyping up the big WWF Tag Team Title Match on Monday Night RAW between The Steiner Brothers and The Beverly Brothers. Circuit information: A busy night on Superstars, in which we witnessed the in-ring debut of The Birdman, an extremely peculiar individual who appears to be able to control birds. The Birdman certainly appears to be on course to be one of the most extraordinary and talked-about superstars in WWF history. Next week on Superstars, IRS goes up against The Lightning Kid in singles action. Schyster is still smarting from that defeat to Max Moon last week, while the Kid is bitter about the post match attack perpetrated by IRS on the Kid and Moon. IRS is looking to take care of the youngster once and for all, whereas a win for the Lightning Kid would certainly be the biggest of his short career so far. Bam Bam Bigelow made it crystal career tonight that he is still after Tatanka and the Intercontinental Title. We are scheduled to hear from the Intercontinental Champion and get his thoughts on next week's show. Jimmy Hart is very determined in his search to recruit a new tag team to manage, even cheekily attempting to steal away teams that already have managers. He tried to poach The Beverly Brothers this week, but The Genius was having none of it! Speaking of the Beverlys, they face the Steiner Brothers this coming week on Monday Night RAW for the Tag Team Titles in a bout you do not want to miss!! Also on the show, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase will be in action, as well as the sinister and disturbing Papa Shango! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/26/08 at 23:13:35 Monday Night RAW June 28th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when R. Steiner pinned Blake after a backslide in 0:21:43. Rating: * (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [The Genius interfered against Rick Steiner.] [The Genius interfered against Scott Steiner.] The Steiner Brothers retained the titles in the opening match of Monday Night RAW when Rick Steiner pinned Blake Beverly after the Beverlys switched places in the ring. During the match, The Headshrinkers and Afa appeared in the aisle, seemingly to get a closer look at the action. After the match, The Steiners invited Fatu and Samu into the ring, but the savages from Samoa thought better of it and backed off. Papa Shango and Buddy Wayne battled to a no contest in 0:00:00. Rating: N/A Papa Shango fought Buddy Wayne to a no contest when Shango cursed Wayne, causing his hand to catch fire, and Wayne ran backstage. This "bout" also featured the debut of Madusa, Shango's "voodoo queen". Randy Savage was growing frustrated with Shango, complaining that his tricks were growing tiresome. Pre-recorded comments aired from Ted DiBiase and Sensational Sherri, where Sherri thanked DiBiase for welcoming her back after she had gone to manage Shawn Michaels. Sherri promised to take The Million Dollar man to the very top of the World Wrestling Federation. Ted DiBiase pinned Louie Spicolli after a flying axhandle in 0:05:21. Rating: 1/2 Mr. Fuji cut a promo on WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, cursing the Hitman for embarrassing him after defeating Yokozuna at the King of the Ring. Fuji warned that he wasn't interested in Hart's championship anymore and vowed to end the Hitman's career instead! Footage was shown of Lex Luger's victory over Mr. Perfect last week, in which The Narcissist secured the King of the Ring. Vince McMahon confirmed that Luger will be out of action until SummerSlam in order to rest his damaged lower back and revealed that Luger's coronation ceremony would take place next week live on Monday Night RAW. Bobby Heenan was very excited about this. Big Boss Man pinned L.A. Gore with the Boss Man Slam in 0:01:08. Rating: * 1/4 Circuit information: The Steiner Brothers kept possession of the WWF Tag Team Titles with a hard-fought victory over the Beverly Brothers tonight as Rick and Scott approach six months as champions. The Headshrinkers signalled their interest in a title shot by appearing midway through the contest - could Fatu and Samu be next in line to challenge the Steiners? As Papa Shango continued to wreak havoc around the WWF, he now appears to be refusing to wrestle and instead take out his opponents with a curse before matches. Shango set poor Buddy Wayne's hand on fire this evening, rendering Wayne incapable of competing. Also, we don't know much about Shango's new accomplice - the voodoo queen, Madusa - except the fact that she seems to be every bit as bizarre as Shango is! Ted DiBiase continues on his roll after hooking up with Sensational Sherri again. The Million Dollar Man is well on his way to becoming a force to be reckoned with in the singles ranks of the WWF once more. Mr. Fuji sent a chilling warning to WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart tonight - he doesn't want Hart's championship, but instead is hellbent on ending the Hitman's career! Next week live on Monday Night RAW, we will attempt - once again - to crown WWF King of the Ring Lex Luger! But before that we hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where IRS battles the Lightning Kid, Adam Bomb will be in action and the exciting tag team of Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty will compete! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/31/08 at 21:32:35 WWF Superstars July 3rd, 1993 Civic Center, Huntington, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty defeated Skinner and The Berzerker when Jannetty pinned Berzerker after a superkick in 0:08:04. Rating: 3/4 After the match, as Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty celebrated their victory, they were attacked by a flock of gulls! Hart and Jannetty retreated to the back while the gulls returned to their perch in the roof of the Civic Center. Earthquake pinned Jim Brunzell with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:05:05. Rating: Earthquake was congratulated by a beaming Jimmy Hart after this bout. Earthquake was clearly confused as the Mouth of the South took the microphone. Hart said that Earthquake knew as well as he did that Earthquake's career - as well as Typhoon's - were going nowhere ever since they stopped teaming up. Hart suggested that The Natural Disasters reform, with Hart himself guiding them. Earthquake blew Jimmy Hart off and left the ring, obviously uninterested in the ever more desperate Hart's suggestion. Footage was shown from last week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where Adam Bomb drilled The Undertaker with a steel chair and power bombed him on the concrete floor. Adam Bomb pinned Ross Greenberg with the Atom Smasher in 0:01:18. Rating: 1/2* After the match, a gleeful Harvey Wippleman took the mic and proclaimed that we would never see The Undertaker ever again, because Adam Bomb had killed The Deadman! Backstage, Owen Hart cut a promo on The Birdman, promising to put an end to the mind games from "bird brain"! Razor Ramon pinned Mike Bucci with the Razor's Edge in 0:01:12. Rating: Tatanka cut a promo on Bam Bam Bigelow, saying that he would be happy to grant the Beast from the East a rematch if WWF President Jack Tunney gives it the green light. Tatanka warned that he has unfinished business with Bigelow. The Lightning Kid defeated Irwin R. Schyster by countout in 0:08:57. Rating: * 1/2 IRS slapped the Lightning Kid around for the majority of this contest, but in the end it was the taxman's cockiness that would come back to haunt him. The match spilled to ringside, where the Kid side stepped Schyster's charge and IRS collided with the ringpost. The clever Kid then tied IRS to the ringpost by his tie and Schyster was counted out!! After the match, The Lighting Kid hotfooted it to the back as IRS eventually freed himself from his predicament. Schyster had a fit of anger in the ring as Superstars drew to a close! Circuit information: What an incredible victory for The Lightning Kid tonight, as he outsmarted IRS and got one over on the taxman. IRS is irate about what happened and has vowed to end the Kid's career before it even properly begins! Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty recorded another win this evening, but after the bell they were attacked by a flock of gulls! It doesn't take an idiot to realise that this was The Birdman's doing as he sent a chilling message to Owen and Jannetty. Jimmy Hart is relentless in his pursuit of a new tag team to manage. Tonight, he attempted to reunite the Natural Disasters, but Earthquake wasn't interested. We were told that Hart received a similar response from Typhoon when he approached him earlier that day. We hope that you'll tune in to Monday Night RAW this week, where the coronation ceremony of King of the Ring Lex Luger will take place. Till then, so long everybody!

Lots of stuff and people to keep track of.
Vertigo	Posted on 02/01/08 at 16:12:40 The Birdman gimmick just feels so appropriate. Excellent work building him up. I wonder where this gimmick might take him. Maybe to superstardom, or maybe to another chapter for wrestlecrap. I'm also interested in where Jimmy Hart is heading. No one wants his services. Who will be the the poor guy to accept... maybe The Birdman!!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/01/08 at 20:22:41 Monday Night RAW July 5th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Shawn Michaels pinned Glen Ruth with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:05:30. Rating: ** 1/2 Backstage, preparations were well under way for the coronation ceremony of Lex Luger later in the show. Jerry "The King" Lawler said that this time he had heightened security so there would be no interruptions of this tremendous moment. Damien DeMento pinned Skull Von Krush after a gutwrench suplex in 0:04:42. Damien DeMento suffered a torn ligament in his left knee. He will be out for approximately 5 cards. Rating: * 1/2 Footage was shown of the WWF Intercontinental Title Match at the King of the Ring, where champion Tatanka dropped Bam Bam Bigelow with a Samoan Drop on the floor and Bigelow was subsequently counted out. Bigelow attacked Tatanka after the match and laid him out with a couple of diving headbutts. Bigelow has been clamouring for a rematch ever since, with the unhappy Native American willing to give it to him. The scene then cut to WWF President Jack Tunney's office, where Tunney booked an Intercontinental Title rematch between Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow for the SummerSlam pay-per-view. The commentary team discussed that announcement from Jack Tunney, when black goo began to ooze from "Macho Man" Randy Savage's forehead - evidence of a curse from none other than Papa Shango! Savage completely lost it when he noticed the goo, smashing up the ringside area and storming backstage!! The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) when Fatu pinned Luke with the Flying Bodypress in 0:07:57. Rating: * 1/4 After the match, The Headshrinkers signalled that they want the WWF Tag Team Titles around their waists. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan spoke with Irwin R. Schyster on the telephone about his loss over the weekend on Superstars to the Lightning Kid. IRS hung up when McMahon said they were going to review footage from the match. Backstage, an irate Randy Savage was tearing apart the backstage area, looking for Papa Shango. Back from commercial and much like three weeks ago, the ring was decked out with a red carpet, a grand throne, a crown, a sceptre and a robe. Jerry "The King" Lawler and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan waited patiently to crown the undisputed King of the Ring, "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Luger made his entrance to boos and jeers from the crowd. Luger winced as he entered the ring, still feeling the effects of his injured back. The Narcissist hugged Heenan and Lawler, before donning his robe. Heenan placed the crown on Luger's head and bowed down before him as The Narcissist took the microphone. Luger put himself over and noted all of his achievements, including remaining undefeated since his debut in January and fighting on with a career threatening back injury to win the King of the Ring. Luger noted that his greatest achievement was still to come - winning the WWF Title at SummerSlam! Lex Luger ordered the fans in attendance to bow down and show some respect to their new king, when suddenly Bret Hart's music hit and the WWF Champion made his way down to the ring. The Hitman received a standing ovation from the New York crowd, while The Narcissist looked disgusted with the interruption. Hart said he wasn't out to cause trouble, but to congratulate Lex Luger on winning the King of the Ring. Hart shook hands with the confused Luger and put over The Narcissist, saying that despite some of the questionable tactics Luger lowers himself to, The Narcissist is still one hell of a wrestler. The Hitman added that notwithstanding that, if Luger thinks that he is going to become the new WWF Champion at SummerSlam, he can think again. The fans cheered as Hart showed off his WWF Title to the crowd, turning his back on the new king. Luger then struck the Hitman in the back of the head with his steel plated forearm, knocking the champion out cold! The crowd booed Luger out of the building as the King of the Ring took the mic and demanded that Bret Hart show the proper respect to the new king - and kiss his feet! Bobby Heenan and Jerry Lawler hoisted the unconscious Hitman up and dragged him over to Luger, who was sitting in his throne. Lawler and Heenan pushed Hart's face into Luger's feet, while The Narcissist laughed and taunted the Hitman. Luger once again ordered the crowd to bow down to him - the King of the Ring and next WWF Champion - as RAW went off-air. Circuit information: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was left angry and embarrassed after the attack from King of the Ring Lex Luger tonight. Luger's yellow streak continued as he beat down the Hitman from behind and forced him to kiss his feet. Hart and Luger will clash over the WWF Title at SummerSlam at the end of August in a match eagerly anticipated by WWF fans. Now, after tonight's cowardly attack, Bret Hart is counting the days until he can get his hands on Luger and beat some respect out of The Narcissist. It became very evident that Papa Shango is targeting "Macho Man" Randy Savage as he seeks retribution on the World Wrestling Federation after he was omitted from the King of the Ring tournament. Shango placed a curse on Savage tonight, causing black goo to ooze from Savage's head, which didn't sit well with the Macho Man. Shango is scheduled for action next week on Monday Night RAW - can Savage keep his cool? Bam Bam Bigelow's constant badgering of WWF President Jack Tunney has finally paid off as Tunney granted him his WWF Intercontinental Title rematch with Tatanka at SummerSlam. We hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where The Smoking Gunns and The Birdman will be in action, plus The Lightning Kid, fresh off his huge win over IRS, will battle Rick Martel. Till then, so long everybody!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/03/08 at 22:17:09 WWF Superstars July 10th, 1993 Civic Center, Huntington, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Barry Horowitz and Mike Sharpe when Bart Gunn pinned B. Horowitz with the Revolver in 0:04:09. Rating: 1/2 After another successful outing, The Smoking Gunns made it clear that they are after the WWF Tag Team Titles, currently around the waists of the Steiner Brothers. Virgil pinned The Cuban Terrorist with a crucifix in 0:05:27. Rating: As The Lightning Kid made his entrance for his one-on-one encounter with "The Model" Rick Martel, he was attacked in the aisle by Irwin R. Schyster. Schyster threw the Kid into the ring steps and clotheslined him down hard on the floor. IRS then dumped the Lightning Kid into the ring into the awaiting clutches of The Model. Rick Martel made The Lightning Kid submit to the Boston Crab in 0:00:09. Rating: * The Lightning Kid was easy pickings for The Model after the pre-match beatdown from IRS. After Rick Martel picked up an easy win, Irwin R. Schyster entered the ring and continued his assault on the Kid. Max Moon quickly made his way out to make the save for his friend, but the damage had been done. Repo Man made Duane Gill submit to the Crowbar in 0:04:18. Rating: ** 3/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed the Smoking Gunns. As Bart Gunn revealed that the Gunns want a shot at the Tag Team Titles, the interview was interrupted by Jimmy Hart. Hart felt that the Gunns had the potential to become tag champs, but were missing one piece of the puzzle - an experienced head to guide them to the top. The Mouth of the South suggested himself to be their manager. Billy Gunn responded with a "thanks, but no thanks" and said they would rather work their way to the pinnacle of the tag team division by themselves. Yet another disappointment for Jimmy Hart. The Birdman pinned Mark Thomas with the One Fell Swoop in 0:06:56. Rating: * 1/4 After The Birdman collected another win here tonight on Superstars, Owen Hart made his way down to the ring to confront him about last week's bird attack. However, before Owen could get in the ring, The Birdman called out at the ceiling and a murder of crows flocked down from the rafters and landed on the ring ropes. Owen was prevented from entering the squared circle as The Birdman laughed maniacally at his former tag team partner. Circuit information: Irwin R. Schyster's frustration over his embarrassing loss to The Lightning Kid last week boiled over tonight, as he destroyed the youngster before his bout with Rick Martel. Max Moon was irate with the taxman over his actions towards Moon's friend and was searching high and low for IRS backstage after the show. Owen Hart is desperate to get his hands on The Birdman and put an end to his former tag team partner's mind games. Jimmy Hart got knocked back again in his search for a new tag team to manage - tonight, it was The Smoking Gunns who spurned The Mouth of the South's advances. Speaking of the Gunns, they are eager to secure a Tag Team Title shot in the near future. However, so are several other teams in the WWF. Expect Jack Tunney to make an announcement regarding this situation very soon. We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where we are scheduled to hear from Bret Hart, fresh off that cowardly attack from Lex Luger. Also, Ted DiBiase, Adam Bomb and Papa Shango will all be in singles action. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/09/08 at 13:40:16 Monday Night RAW July 12th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with the Manhattan Center filling with smoke as Papa Shango made his eerie entrance, accompanied by the Voodoo Queen, Madusa. Randy Savage was chomping at the bit to get his hands on Shango, after black goo began to ooze from Savage's forehead on last week's show. Vince McMahon reminded Savage that he has an announcers contract which prohibits him from laying a finger on any wrestler while he is carrying out his broadcasting duties. Papa Shango and Jason Knight battled to a no-contest in 0:00:00. Rating: N/A Papa Shango fought Jason Knight to a no contest when Knight's face began dripping black goo before the match, causing him to run backstage. By this stage, Randy Savage had had enough and despite Vince McMahon's earlier warning, the Macho Man left the commentary table and jumped in the ring to confront Shango. Shango began to go into convulsions and he appeared to curse Savage, as the Macho Man fell to the mat, clutching his stomach! Randy Savage rolled around the ring in agony favouring his guts as Papa Shango stood over him in a trance. During the commercial break, Randy Savage was helped to the back by several road agents. Ted DiBiase defeated P.J. Walker via pinfall in 0:04:31. Rating: * 1/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney entered the medical room to check on the condition of Randy Savage. Savage was shown being helped by medical staff, where he began throwing up violently. Virgil defeated Doink the Clown by disqualification in 0:08:36. Rating: ** 1/2 Footage was shown from last week's edition of Monday Night RAW of Lex Luger attacking WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and forcing Hart to kiss his feet after The Hitman interrupted The Narcissist's King of the Ring coronation ceremony. Backstage, Bret Hart was interviewed by "Mean" Gene Okerlund. The WWF Champion said he received no injuries in last week's attack by Lex Luger - in fact, the only thing that was hurt was his pride. The Hitman said that Luger's cowardly beatdown left him humiliated, but that he should have expected nothing less from a coward like Luger. Hart claimed that he would be patient and wait until SummerSlam to get his payback on Luger, but added that Luger wasn't the only perpetrator last week - Jerry "The King" Lawler helped as well. The Hitman then challenged Lawler to a match. Adam Bomb pinned Typhoon after a powerslam in 0:04:47. Rating: * 1/4 After the match, Harvey Wippleman took the mic and again proclaimed that The Undertaker was dead, never to return. Bomb then choke slammed Typhoon in a further slight to the Deadman. Circuit information: Papa Shango put a more horrific curse on Randy Savage tonight than the one last week, which resulted in Savage being confined to a hospital bed suffering from severe stomach pains. Savage is beside himself with rage at the voodoo practitioner and even in his bedridden state, the Macho Man is eager to get a piece of Shango at the earliest available opportunity. We haven't received an answer from Jerry Lawler regarding Bret Hart's challenge. Perhaps we will do this week on Superstars, where The Headshrinkers, Razor Ramon and WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka will all be in action. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/09/08 at 13:44:32 WWF Superstars July 17th, 1993 Civic Center, Huntington, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated Jim Duggan and Kamala when Fatu pinned Kamala after the Flying Bodypress in 0:08:36. Rating: * 1/4 [Afa interfered against Kamala.] [Afa interfered against Jim Duggan.] After the match, Vince McMahon revealed that he had received word from Jack Tunney's office that a massive tag team match had been signed for next week's show! It will be The Headshrinkers vs. The Smoking Gunns, with the winning team receiving a WWF Tag Team Title shot at SummerSlam!! Backstage, Tatanka was preparing for his upcoming match when he bumped into Bam Bam Bigelow. Tatanka and Bigelow went nose-to-nose and Bigelow said he hoped Tatanka hadn't grown too attached to the Intercontinental Title, as any hopes he has of retaining at SummerSlam will go up in smoke, just like the headdress Bigelow had burned! Tatanka slapped Bigelow across the face, but as The Beast From The East came back at Tatanka, the two men were separated by officials and road agents. Tatanka pinned TNT with the End of the Trail in 0:03:21. Rating: * 3/4 After the match, Bam Bam Bigelow came down to ringside, swiped the Intercontinental Title belt and knocked out Tatanka with it! As Tatanka lay unconscious, Bigelow produced a pair of scissors and began hacking away at the red stripe dyed in the middle of Tatanka's hair! It was another disgusting show of disrespect by the Beast From The East. Max Moon pinned The Predator with the Flying Back Bodypress in 0:03:53. Rating: * After the match, Max Moon took the mic and addressed IRS, saying that the situation between Schyster and himself and the Lightning Kid had to end. Moon challenged IRS to a match to finish things once and for all. Marty Jannetty pinned Skinner after a backslide in 0:06:43. Rating: ** 1/4 Backstage, Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart's pursuit of new managerial clients continued as he caught up with the Headshrinkers. Hart did his best to communicate with Fatu and Samu, proclaiming that he has the know-how to lead them to victory against the Smoking Gunns in their number one contenders match next week on Superstars. The Headshrinkers' current manager Afa then arrived on the scene and scared Hart away! Razor Ramon pinned Who with the Razor's Edge in 0:03:47. Rating: 3/4* Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler discussed Bret Hart's challenge to Lawler last week on Monday Night RAW. Lawler said that he had thought about it long and hard and had decided to accept the challenge...but only if the Hitman put the WWF Title on the line! Lawler said he was looking forward to Hart's answer as Superstars went off air. Circuit information: It appears that Bam Bam Bigelow has really crossed the line this time. Tonight, Bigelow committed the ultimate indignity upon Tatanka - cutting off several locks of his prized red hair - a symbol that honours the blood and bravery of all Native Americans. Tatanka is angry beyond comprehension, but perhaps his spirit has suffered even more from the humiliation of practically being scalped by Bigelow. Week after week we have watched Jimmy Hart try and fail to recruit a new tag team. Tonight was no different as his attempts to steal the Headshrinkers were foiled by Afa. Despite all this, Hart has stated that he has a big announcement to make on next week's show. We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW. Till then, so long everybody!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 02/09/08 at 16:30:24 Very nice cards as Tatanka and Bigelow feud heats up. Looking forward to it and next cards! Keep up the good work.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/13/08 at 22:33:52 Monday Night RAW July 19th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers as guests on Jerry Lawler's King's Court. Lawler surprisingly put the brothers over strongly as being dominant champions. Lawler brought up the big number one contenders bout this coming week on Superstars between The Headshrinkers and The Smoking Gunns and asked Rick and Scott who they would prefer to face at SummerSlam. Scott said it didn't matter to them who they wrestle, because they'll leave SummerSlam with the titles anyway. That comment brought out The Smoking Gunns. Billy Gunn took the mic and said that when the Gunns beat The Headshrinkers this weekend, The Steiners shouldn't be so sure that they'll keep the gold at SummerSlam. The Headshrinkers then made their way down to the ring and got in the faces of Billy and Bart. They two teams got into a shoving match and then began brawling around the ring! Rick and Scott Steiner attempted to intervene and get between the two teams, but both men were floored by errant punches and kicks. That was enough to get the Steiners involved in the melee and it took an army of officials and road agents to separate all three teams. A beaming Jerry Lawler returned to the ring and claimed that this was one of the greatest ever editions of the King's Court. Suddenly, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart made his way through the crowd to a tremendous ovation. The Hitman confronted Lawler and backed him into a corner. Hart addressed Lawler's comments this past week on Superstars and said that he would gladly put his WWF Championship on the line if it meant that he could get Lawler in the ring, one-on-one. The Hitman said that he would see Lawler next week, leaving The King trembling in the ring. Earthquake pinned Tahitian Savage with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:05:19. Rating: * 3/4 Footage was shown from last week of Randy Savage trying to confront Papa Shango, but Shango put a curse on Savage, causing the Macho Man to fall violently ill. Bobby Heenan quipped that Savage probably felt sick because of some of Liz's home cooking, not a curse from Shango. Vince McMahon warned Savage that he had violated the terms of his announcers contract by attempting to put his hands on Shango last week and cautioned him over his future conduct. Savage seemed unconcerned at what McMahon was saying. Doink the Clown pinned Virgil with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:07:46. Rating: *** This was a rematch from last week when Doink was disqualified for spraying green paint in Virgil's eyes. Doink picked up the win after pushing the referee into the ropes, knocking Virgil off the top rope. Doink then executed the Whoopie Cushion for the victory. Bob Backlund defeated L.A. Gore when L.A. Gore passed out in the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:02:52. Rating: * 3/4 Comments were shown from Papa Shango, accompanied by Madusa, in which he said that he now owned Randy Savage's soul. The Macho Man was seething at ringside, saying that he isn't scared of Papa Shango or his "curses". Rick Martel made Jeff Gaylord submit to the Boston Crab in 0:04:01. Rating: ** 1/2 Vince McMahon closed the show by plugging the number one contenders match between The Headshrinkers and The Smoking Gunns this weekend on Superstars. Circuit information: The tag team division in the World Wrestling Federation is really starting to heat up. This coming weekend on Superstars, we'll find out who will challenge the Steiner Brothers for the Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam as The Smoking Gunns battle The Headshrinkers. The Smoking Gunns have been on a roll since debuting several months ago, while The Headshrinkers are unpredictable to say the least. This will be a bout you do not want to miss! Papa Shango continued his mind games with Randy Savage tonight, claiming that he owns Savage's soul. WWF President Jack Tunney has given the Macho Man one more chance to adhere to the terms of his announcers contract and that will be tested to the limit as Shango is scheduled for action next week! We hope you'll join us this weekend for a bumper edition of Superstars! Till then, so long everybody!!

Rick and Scott Steiner attempted to intervene and get between the two teams, but both men were floored by errant punches and kicks. That was enough to get the Steiners involved in the melee and it took an army of officials and road agents to separate all three teams. A beaming Jerry Lawler returned to the ring and claimed that this was one of the greatest ever editions of the King's Court. Suddenly, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart made his way through the crowd to a tremendous ovation. The Hitman confronted Lawler and backed him into a corner. Hart addressed Lawler's comments this past week on Superstars and said that he would gladly put his WWF Championship on the line if it meant that he could get Lawler in the ring, one-on-one. The Hitman said that he would see Lawler next week, leaving The King trembling in the ring. Earthquake pinned Tahitian Savage with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:05:19. Rating: * 3/4 Footage was shown from last week of Randy Savage trying to confront Papa Shango, but Shango put a curse on Savage, causing the Macho Man to fall violently ill. Bobby Heenan quipped that Savage probably felt sick because of some of Liz's home cooking, not a curse from Shango. Vince McMahon warned Savage that he had violated the terms of his announcers contract by attempting to put his hands on Shango last week and cautioned him over his future conduct. Savage seemed unconcerned at what McMahon was saying. Doink the Clown pinned Virgil with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:07:46. Rating: *** This was a rematch from last week when Doink was disqualified for spraying green paint in Virgil's eyes. Doink picked up the win after pushing the referee into the ropes, knocking Virgil off the top rope. Doink then executed the Whoopie Cushion for the victory. Bob Backlund defeated L.A. Gore when L.A. Gore passed out in the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:02:52. Rating: * 3/4 Comments were shown from Papa Shango, accompanied by Madusa, in which he said that he now owned Randy Savage's soul. The Macho Man was seething at ringside, saying that he isn't scared of Papa Shango or his "curses". Rick Martel made Jeff Gaylord submit to the Boston Crab in 0:04:01. Rating: ** 1/2 Vince McMahon closed the show by plugging the number one contenders match between The Headshrinkers and The Smoking Gunns this weekend on Superstars. Circuit information: The tag team division in the World Wrestling Federation is really starting to heat up. This coming weekend on Superstars, we'll find out who will challenge the Steiner Brothers for the Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam as The Smoking Gunns battle The Headshrinkers. The Smoking Gunns have been on a roll since debuting several months ago, while The Headshrinkers are unpredictable to say the least. This will be a bout you do not want to miss! Papa Shango continued his mind games with Randy Savage tonight, claiming that he owns Savage's soul. WWF President Jack Tunney has given the Macho Man one more chance to adhere to the terms of his announcers contract and that will be tested to the limit as Shango is scheduled for action next week! We hope you'll join us this weekend for a bumper edition of Superstars! Till then, so long everybody!! No way can Savage be trusted to retain professional integrity as an announcer! Papa Shango might not own his soul per se, but he definitely owns the Macho Man's head! I can see a title reign in the near future for Bart & Billy Gunn.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/14/08 at 20:46:21 WWF Superstars July 24th, 1993 Wilkes University Marts Center, Wilkes-Barre, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Number-One-Contenders-Match: The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) when Fatu pinned Bart Gunn after the Flying Bodypress in 0:20:25. Rating: *** 1/2 [Afa interfered against Billy Gunn.] Throughout this contest, WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers were shown watching events unfold on a backstage monitor. The Smoking Gunns appeared to have the bout won as they set Samu up for the Sidewinder. However, as Fatu distracted the referee, Afa crotched Billy Gunn on the top rope! The Headshrinkers then hit Bart with the Flying Bodypress and secured a Tag Team Title match with the Steiners at SummerSlam. Footage was shown of last week's brutal attack on WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka, perpetrated by Bam Bam Bigelow, in which the Beast from the East committed the ultimate indignity upon Tatanka by cutting off several locks of his prized red hair. Before the next match, Vince McMahon revealed that Tatanka had gone into seclusion to strengthen his spirit for his upcoming SummerSlam confrontation with the massive, brutal Bam Bam Bigelow. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Tony DeVito with the Diving Headbutt in 0:05:44. Rating: * 1/4 Bigelow came to the ring for this match carrying a small plastic bag with a lock of Tatanka's cut hair inside. Backstage, Jimmy Hart cut a promo in which he announced that he was putting an end to his unsuccessful search for a new tag team. Instead, he was bringing back someone he had managed in the past in the World Wrestling Federation. Hart revealed that he was bringing back...The Mountie! Big Boss Man pinned The Intruder with the Boss Man Slam in 0:01:01. Rating: DUD After the match, The Big Boss Man claimed that if The Mountie was returning to the WWF, then he could expect to serve hard time. Irwin R. Schyster cut a promo, saying that he was tired of The Lightning Kid and Max Moon wasting his time. IRS accepted Moon's challenge from last week and added that when he beats Moon, he wants the Kid in a singles match immediately afterwards! IRS said that once he beats both Moon and the Kid in separate bouts, he never wants to hear from either of those two punks again. Repo Man made Duane Gill submit to the Crowbar in 0:03:14. Rating: * 1/2 Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler closed the show by building up the Bret Hart-Jerry Lawler WWF Title Match this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Lawler promised to give the Hitman the beating of his life and said he would become the new WWF Champion! Circuit information: The Smoking Gunns and The Headshrinkers battled each other for over twenty minutes tonight, but when it was all said and done it was Fatu and Samu who earned the chance to face The Steiner Brothers for the WWF Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam. The Headshrinkers used some shady tactics to get the job done and The Steiners will have to be extremely well prepared when they square off against the Samoan savages. Jimmy Hart has given up on searching for a new tag team and will instead bring back former WWF Intercontinental Champion The Mountie. WWF fans remember The Mountie as a corrupt, taser-wielding member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Will he "always get his man" this time around? We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where you can find out if Jerry Lawler is successful in his attempt to win the WWF Title from Bret Hart! Till then, so long everybody!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 02/14/08 at 21:05:08 Another entertaining card. Looking forward to The King taking the title!

JeepGuy	Posted on 02/15/08 at 18:13:54 Of course, he probably won't win but stranger things have been known to happen. This is wrestling, afterall.
markod1967	Posted on 02/16/08 at 10:24:53 Not happy with this discussion. >:( I'm a Hitman guy, all the way!! Let's go Bret!! :P ;D
Thnikkaman	Posted on 02/16/08 at 17:27:33 I think with the budding feud between Lex and Bret, Hitman retains the belt. Would be nice to see The King get some gold in the future.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/17/08 at 13:43:44 Monday Night RAW July 26th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. This week's edition of Monday Night RAW began with comments from WWF Champion Bret Hart and Jerry "The King" Lawler regarding their title match in the main event of the show. Papa Shango pinned Scott Taylor with the Shoulderbreaker in 0:04:03. Rating: * 3/4 After Papa Shango had easily defeated Scott Taylor with the reverse shoulderbreaker, the voodoo master continued to attack his opponent, breaking his voodoo stick in half over Taylor's back and attacking several referees. Randy Savage couldn't take anymore and hit the ring to make the save. Savage pounded away on Shango and clotheslined him over the top rope, but Madusa crept up from behind the Macho Man and spat green mist into his face! Shango then beat on the blinded Savage until they were separated by referees and road agents. Ted DiBiase pinned Rich Myers with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:04:43. Rating: 1/2 [Sensational Sherri interfered against Rich Myers.] Ted DiBiase's amazing roll continued tonight as he defeated Rich Myers with his new finisher, The Million Dollar Buster, which is the Million Dollar Dream turned into a Russian legsweep. Adam Bomb pinned P.J. Walker with the Tombstone in 0:01:47. Rating: Adam Bomb destroyed the luckless P.J. Walker and finished him off with the Tombstone, sending another message to The Undertaker. After the match, Harvey Wippleman took the mic and said that he would hold a funeral for The Undertaker next week on Monday Night RAW! As Bret Hart and Jerry Lawler prepared to lock up, The Hitman's opponent at SummerSlam and WWF King of the Ring Lex Luger made an appearance. Luger, who is currently sidelined with a serious back injury, was carried out to ringside on his throne by four masked knights. The Narcissist proceeded to sit in his throne and watch the WWF Championship match. Bret Hart defeated Jerry Lawler by disqualification in 0:14:17. Rating: *** (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Lex Luger interfered against Bret Hart.] During the course of this contest, the bout spilled to ringside where Lex Luger got in Bret Hart's face. The Hitman then proceeded to shove Luger over his throne to the floor as the crowd cheered! The Narcissist winced in pain, favouring his injured back. The WWF Champion seemed to have the match won when he trapped Jerry Lawler in the Sharpshooter, but Luger stormed the ring and smashed his sceptre over the Hitman's head! The referee immediately called for the bell as Hart slumped to the mat, unconscious. After the match, Lex Luger took the WWF Championship belt, placed a foot on the Hitman's chest and held the title aloft. Jerry Lawler raised Luger's hand in the air in triumph as the fans jeered them out of the building. Circuit information: Once again, Lex Luger attacked Bret Hart from behind this evening, interfering in the WWF Champion's match with Jerry Lawler and breaking his sceptre to smithereens over the Hitman's head. Hart was shaken up after the vicious blow to the head but knowing The Hitman, he will recover quickly. Randy Savage violated the terms of his announcers contract tonight as he came to the aid of Scott Taylor, who was being destroyed by Papa Shango. Shango and Savage then got into a brawl as their feud begins to escalate. My sources tell me that WWF President Jack Tunney will have an announcement to make regarding this situation very soon. It will be interesting to see what Adam Bomb and Harvey Wippleman have planned for next week's show. Wippleman claims that they will hold a funeral for The Undertaker, who we haven't seen since The Creation of Devastation power bombed him on the concrete floor five weeks ago. This weekend on Superstars, WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers will be in action, plus IRS will face Max Moon and The Lightning Kid in separate singles encounters! Till then, so long everybody!
markod1967	Posted on 02/17/08 at 14:57:17 I can't wait for Bret's revenge, I really can't! Good move with Dibiase; the Million Dollar Buster will likely get over as a finisher much more than The Million Dollar Dream.

HISS! Lawler was ripped off and shame on Hart for attacking an injured man. What's next? Hart going to attack some little old ladies crossing the street? Don't ask me why but I've been enjoying this feud. Here's to Moon and the Kid putting a double beating on IRS. So long!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/19/08 at 18:03:16 WWF Superstars July 31st, 1993 Wilkes University Marts Center, Wilkes-Barre, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. IRS opened the show with a promo regarding his two singles matches tonight, vowing to bring Max Moon crashing down to earth and then slap the acne off the Lightning Kid's face! The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Intruder and Casey Cleric when S. Steiner pinned Intruder after a gutwrench suplex in 0:05:43. Rating: 1/2 During the bout, Afa cut an insert promo which was subtitled in English where he said the difference between his team and the Steiner Brothers was that the Steiners will come to wrestle and the Headshrinkers will come to tear their heads off at SummerSlam. Vince McMahon announced after the bout that Rick Steiner will go one-on-one with Samu this coming week on Monday Night RAW. El Matador pinned David Heath after a small package in 0:05:54. Rating: 1/2 A video was shown featuring highlights of The Mountie's previous stint in the WWF, set to his awful heel marching theme sung by the man himself. The Mountie returns to World Wrestling Federation action next week on Superstars! Irwin R. Schyster pinned Max Moon with the Write Off in 0:08:20. Rating: ** 1/4 IRS attacked Max Moon after the bell and attempted to remove Moon's mask. However, The Lightning Kid entered the ring and rolled up the distracted Schyster... The Lightning Kid pinned Irwin R. Schyster after an inside cradle in 0:00:03. Rating: * IRS had a fit of rage in the centre of the ring, while The Lightning Kid and Max Moon celebrated getting one over on the taxman yet again! Vince McMahon revealed that rumours were rife in the WWF that in order to prepare for his Intercontinental Title defence against Bam Bam Bigelow at SummerSlam, Tatanka had performed the sacred Sun Dance to build courage and spiritual strength and to overcome his enemies in combat. Shawn Michaels pinned TNT with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:03:34. Rating: * 1/2 Owen Hart closed the show by cutting a promo on The Birdman. Owen dared to face him one-on-one in the ring, rather than hide behind his disease-ridden birds! Circuit information: Irwin R. Schyster has been distracted by Max Moon and The Lightning Kid for weeks now, which has frustrated the taxman as he feels that his time is being wasted by these two youngsters when he should be concentrating on challenging for championship gold. In his attempt to deal with them once and for all tonight, he was outsmarted yet again as The Lightning Kid rolled him up quickly to earn his second victory over Schyster. IRS is apoplectic over this latest setback. This week on Monday Night RAW, we will have somewhat of a preview of SummerSlam when Rick Steiner faces Samu in a singles bout, plus Harvey Wippleman and Adam Bomb will hold a funeral for The Undertaker! Till then, so long everybody!
JeepGuy	Posted on 02/19/08 at 18:31:13 TLK for the win! Good stuff. Maybe Moon and the The Lightning Kid need to move on and stop wasting THEIR time with IRS. ;)
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/21/08 at 20:59:32 Monday Night RAW August 2nd, 1993 Castle Recreation Center, Alexandria Bay, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. This week's edition of Monday Night RAW opened with WWF President Jack Tunney in his office at Titan Towers. Tunney said that after "Macho Man" Randy Savage had violated the terms of his announcing contract twice in recent weeks, he was left with no option but to suspend Savage from his announcing duties for the foreseeable future. However, Tunney stated that Savage still has a contract as a WWF wrestler and because of that he was booking a match between Randy Savage and Papa Shango for SummerSlam! Smoke then began to billow from underneath Tunney's desk and black goo streamed down the WWF President's face as the screen went to white noise! Vince McMahon put over that huge announcement, while Bobby Heenan was delighted that Randy Savage would not be commentating on Monday Night RAW anymore! Rick Steiner defeated Samu by disqualification in 0:07:26. Rating: ** 1/2 [Fatu interfered against Rick Steiner.] Samu was disqualified in this bout when his tag team partner Fatu floored Rick Steiner with a savate kick after the Dogfaced Gremlin had drilled Samu with a flying bulldog. Scott Steiner hit the ring to even the odds and the WWF Tag Team Champions ran the Headshrinkers to the back. The Berzerker pinned Gary Scott with the Piledriver in 0:03:45. Rating: 1/2* A video package building up The Mountie's return to the WWF was shown. The Mountie will be in action this weekend on Superstars. Razor Ramon pinned The Predator with the Razor's Edge in 0:04:08. Rating: 3/4* A royal proclamation from King of the Ring Lex Luger aired, in which he once again stated that he will beat Bret Hart at SummerSlam to become the new WWF Champion. Luger announced that he would appear on Monday Night RAW next week to address his subjects. Virgil pinned Doink the Clown after a flying cross body press in 0:08:54. Rating: ** 3/4 Virgil and Doink squared off for the final time tonight and it was Virgil who emerged victorious, pinning the evil clown with a flying cross body press. Harvey Wippleman, dressed in a cheap black suit, made his way down to the ring accompanied by "The Creation of Devastation" Adam Bomb. Wippleman laid a black wreath down in the ring and read an extremely disparaging eulogy about The Undertaker. The crowd began to cheer as Paul Bearer appeared in the aisle and rolled a casket down the aisle to the ringside area. Wippleman was annoyed with the interruption and told Bomb to check out the casket. Bomb opened the lid and suddenly the casket exploded, sending a huge mushroom cloud high into the air!! Bomb reeled back from the impact of the blast and as he and Wippleman peered into the remnants of the casket, they could see an Undertaker symbol burning inside! Bomb and Wippleman looked at each other in shock and disbelief, while Paul Bearer cackled wickedly in the aisle! Circuit information: It appears that The Undertaker is not dead after all! Paul Bearer interrupted Adam Bomb and Harvey Wippleman's mock funeral for the Deadman and sent a chilling message to the duo with an exploding casket. You can bet that The Man from The Darkside will return determined to make Bomb and his puny manager regret their recent actions. Although Jack Tunney has suspended Randy Savage from his announcing duties, the Macho Man will not be too displeased as he has secured a singles encounter with Papa Shango at SummerSlam. Savage has been the victim of a series of spells from Shango in recent weeks and he is eager to put an end to the voodoo practitioner's black magic. The Steiner Brothers and The Headshrinkers will clash over the WWF Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam and we had a preview of that showdown tonight as Rick Steiner defeated Samu via disqualification. Next week, Scott Steiner goes one-on-one with Fatu. Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where Bam Bam Bigelow and Owen Hart will be in action, plus we'll bring you the return of The Mountie! Till then, so long everybody!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 02/21/08 at 21:50:14 Another good card. Looking forward to the Tatanka/Bigelow match and Savage/Shango at SummerSlam as well as SuperStars this weekend.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/24/08 at 17:27:52 WWF Superstars August 7th, 1993 Wilkes University Marts Center, Wilkes-Barre, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with a promo from The Mountie, along with a very excited Jimmy Hart. The Mountie said that tonight Marty Jannetty will find out the hard way that The Mountie always gets his man! Owen Hart pinned Russ Greenberg with the Rocket Launcher in 0:02:55. Rating: *** 1/4 After the match, Owen Hart grabbed the mic and called out The Birdman so he could knock him off his perch! The Birdman made his way down the aisle and when he reached ringside, Owen took him out with a plancha to the floor! Owen and The Birdman traded punches and kicks on the floor. The Birdman sent Owen into the ring steps hard and then struck him across the back with a steel chair. The Birdman rolled Owen into the ring and drilled him with a brain buster. The Birdman dragged Owen's limp body off the mat and tied him up in the ropes. A silence descended over the crowd as The Birdman called out to the ceiling and a flock of birds swooped down and attacked the defenceless Owen. The birds dove, scratched and pecked at Owen Hart, who was soon cut all over his face and arms. Marty Jannetty and several officials came out to intervene, but they too were attacked and struggled to fight off the aggressive birds which repeatedly came at them. The Birdman made another bird call and the birds instantly flew back to arena ceiling. During the commercial break, a scratched and bleeding Owen Hart was helped to the back by referees and his friend Marty Jannetty for medical treatment. Jim Duggan and Kamala defeated Double Trouble (Val Puccio and Tony Puccio) when Duggan pinned Val after a kneedrop in 0:07:30. Rating: 1/2* Footage aired of WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka being initiated into the Lakota tribe, which is considered a huge honour. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Tony DeVito with the Diving Headbutt in 0:04:32. Rating: * During the bout, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo warning Tatanka that no amount of whooping, drum pounding and smoking peace pipes would prevent Bigelow from taking the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam. Vince McMahon revealed that next week, "Mean" Gene Okerlund would conduct an interview with Mr. Perfect, whom nobody had seen since he was defeated in the King of the Ring final by Lex Luger. The Mountie pinned Marty Jannetty after a double-arm choke slam in 0:07:41. Rating: *** 1/2 After the match, The Mountie handcuffed Marty Jannetty's arms around his back and tried to assault him with his shock stick. However, Max Moon made his way down to the ring for the save and he fought off The Mountie to the delight of the crowd! Then, a large man dressed in a red and black uniform similar to The Mountie's emerged from the crowd and hit the ring, attacking Max Moon! The stranger almost decapitated Moon with a stiff clothesline and then he and The Mountie teamed up to crush Moon with an assisted senton from the top rope!! The Lightning Kid sprinted out from the back, but he was cut off with the Write Off from IRS, who had been laying in wait at the entrance way! The Mountie and this newcomer blasted Moon with another assisted senton, while Jimmy Hart jumped for joy! It was evident that Moon was in excruciating pain as he clutched his ribs in agony. Jimmy Hart celebrated with The Mountie and this mystery man as the crowd voiced their disapproval. Circuit information: After tonight's crazy edition of WWF Superstars, "Mean" Gene Okerlund caught up with Jimmy Hart, who revealed that The Mountie would not answer to that moniker any longer. Hart introduced his two men as Jacques and Pierre - The Quebecers - and promised to lead them straight to the top of the tag team division! Well, The Quebecers, as they are now known, certainly did a number on Marty Jannetty and Max Moon tonight. In fact, Moon will be out for several weeks after he suffered cracked ribs during tonight's assault. IRS also took out The Lightning Kid when he tried to come to the aid of his friends, which must make you wonder if this was all premeditated. Owen Hart was on the receiving end of a savage beating from The Birdman this evening. He was attacked by a flock of birds at the command of The Birdman after Owen had been tied up in the ring ropes, rendering him helpless. Owen was taken to a local hospital and checked out for salmonella and several other infections that he could have received in the attack, but he checked out fine. Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where Fatu faces Scott Steiner and WWF King of the Ring "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will be there to address his subjects! See you then!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 02/24/08 at 18:46:02 Boo! Hiss! Damn those Canadians and the IRS! Another nice show as we head into SummerSlam.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/26/08 at 22:14:52 Monday Night RAW August 9th, 1993 Castle Recreation Center, Alexandria Bay, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated Timmy Turtle and Tommy Turtle when Beau pinned Timmy after a flying lariat in 0:04:36. Rating: * 1/4 [The Genius interfered against Tommy Turtle.] Footage was shown of Crush training in the gym, preparing to make his return to WWF competition. Crush has been out injured since the King of the Ring, where he was knocked unconscious by Lex Luger and his steel plated forearm. Crush was shown working out on a punchbag, which had a picture of Lex Luger's face on it! Skinner pinned The White Shadow with the Gatorbreaker in 0:03:16. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Gene Okerlund conducted an interview with Papa Shango, in which Shango chillingly warned that he would execute a voodoo sacrifice next week! Shango then caused black goo to begin dripping from Okerlund's jacket sleeve. Typhoon pinned Dan Dubiel after a gutwrench suplex in 0:02:59. Rating: -1/2* It was now time for a royal proclamation, courtesy of the WWF King of the Ring Lex Luger. The Narcissist was carried out to the ring on his throne by four masked nights. Suddenly, Bret Hart appeared in the aisle and attacked Luger's knights, causing Luger to fall from his throne and crash to the arena floor! After taking care of Luger's knights, the WWF Champion turned his attention to The Narcissist, who was trying to escape through the crowd. The Hitman dragged Luger back over the guardrail and hammered away with a barrage of punches! Referees and road agents were eventually able to haul Bret Hart off Luger and take him to the back. Scott Steiner defeated Fatu by disqualification in 0:08:13. Rating: *** [Samu interfered against Scott Steiner.] Fatu was disqualified in this singles match when Afa tripped up Scott Steiner as Steiner bounced off the ring ropes. After the bell, Samu came out and The Headshrinkers double teamed Scott, until his brother Rick made the save. Afa hit Rick in the back with a steel chair and The Headshrinkers dumped the Dogfaced Gremlin out of the ring. Afa and Samu then stretched Scott out, leaving him prone for Fatu to deliver two flying bodypresses from the top rope! A groggy Rick attempted to return to the ring to help his brother, but Samu smashed Afa's pineapple over Rick's head. The Headshrinkers left WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers laying as the crowd booed and jeered. Backstage, Sean Mooney caught up with Bret Hart. The Hitman said it felt good punching Lex Luger's head in and asked the Narcissist how it felt to get a taste of his own medicine when someone carries out a sneak attack on him. Hart promised that it would be much worse for the King of the Ring at SummerSlam! Circuit information: Bret Hart managed to extract a modicum of revenge from Lex Luger this evening, jumping The Narcissist as he was carried to the ring on his throne. The Hitman has endured two sneak attacks from Luger since Luger was crowned King of the Ring and tonight Hart's rage boiled over. Luger has complained that his back was reinjured in the assault, but those complaints fell on deaf ears. If The Narcissist is looking for sympathy from WWF officials, then he's looking in the wrong place. Scott Steiner was taken to a local medical facility after the show and was diagnosed with bruised ribs, following the brutal beatdown by The Headshrinkers. You have to believe that this attack was masterminded by Afa in order to gain an advantage over the Steiners going into their WWF Tag Team Title showdown at SummerSlam. Papa Shango sent out a petrifying admonition to the World Wrestling Federation when he warned of a voodoo sacrifice going down next week! Who knows what the voodoo practitioner has conjured up in his sick mind. We saw tonight that Crush is preparing for a return to WWF action - which is very bad news for Lex Luger! Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango We hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where the Quebecers will make their debut. Also, Adam Bomb is in action and Gene Okerlund will interview Mr. Perfect, who is making his return to WWF screens since coming up short in the final of the King of the Ring.
Larry Mondello	Posted on 02/27/08 at 07:19:34 Good card. I like your little news summary at the end. Sums it up very nicely.

Adam Bomb pinned Mike Bell with the Atom Smasher in 0:04:13. Rating: 1/4* During the bout, Paul Bearer cut an insert promo in which he challenged Adam Bomb to face The Undertaker in a Casket Match at SummerSlam! The Birdman pinned El Matador with the One Fell Swoop in 0:11:28. Rating: ** 1/2 A SummerSlam report aired, in which it was announced that a match between Owen Hart and The Birdman had been signed for SummerSlam. Footage aired from last week's show of the debut of the Quebecers, who teamed up to destroy Marty Jannetty and Max Moon after Jacques had defeated Jannetty in singles action. Moon will be on the shelf for several weeks as a result of the attack. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Mark Thomas and Tony Roy when Jacques pinned T. Roy after a flying elbowdrop in 0:07:11. Rating: * 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Mark Thomas.] During the match, Marty Jannetty and The Lightning Kid cut an insert promo challenging The Quebecers to a match next week. A Tatanka promo was shown in which he warned Bam Bam Bigelow that he would return better than ever and that a new warrior would soon be forged in Tatanka. Doink the Clown made Rudy Gonzalez submit to the STF in 0:04:40. Rating: * 1/2 "Mean" Gene Okerlund conducted an interview with Mr. Perfect at the podium. Mr. Perfect - who has not been seen since he was defeated in the King of the Ring final almost two months ago - appeared for this interview unshaven and dressed in street clothes. Perfect confessed that his loss to Lex Luger had hit him pretty hard, to the point where he is doubting whether or not if he is deserving of the name "Mr. Perfect" anymore. Perfect said that after his recent performances, he certainly didn't feel so perfect. Ted DiBiase's music then hit and The Million Dollar Man made his way out, accompanied by Sensational Sherri. DiBiase was unsympathetic and told Perfect to pull himself together. The Million Dollar Man told Perfect that of course he is perfect, before adding that he would be the perfect person to shine his shoes and take out his garbage! The crowd jeered as DiBiase blasted Perfect, telling him that his career is over and then, out of the goodness of his heart, offered Perfect a job as his custodian! Perfect asked if he could have a second or two to consider the offer...and then slapped DiBiase across the face, to a huge pop! However, Sherri sneaked up from behind and hit Perfect with a low blow! DiBiase and Sherri put the boots to Perfect and did some real damage until officials and road agents came out to intervene! Circuit information: It has been almost two months since Mr. Perfect was defeated in the final of the King of the Ring by Lex Luger and he has not been seen in the WWF...until tonight. It is obvious that Perfect is short of self-confidence and is seriously doubting his own abilities. Perfect's state of mind was not helped by the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, who tore into Mr. Perfect and offered him a job as his custodian! Perfect was insulted by the offer and slapped the taste out of DiBiase's mouth, but Perfect then ended up on the receiving end of an assault by DiBiase and Sensational Sherri. Now, Mr. Perfect is determined that this time it is DiBiase that will be the one to pay. We can exclusively reveal that Paul Bearer's challenge for SummerSlam was accepted, albeit reluctantly, by Adam Bomb and his manager, Harvey Wippleman. This will be only the second ever casket match in WWF history and it seems like a fitting way to end this bitter feud between Bomb and the Man from the Darkside. Another match signed for SummerSlam is Owen Hart squaring off against The Birdman. This one has been coming for some time and after Owen Hart was brutally attacked by The Birdman and his feathered friends last week, Jack Tunney acted quickly and gave The Rocket what he wanted. The Birdman scored a big win tonight over veteran El Matador, but will he come out on top at SummerSlam? Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango Casket Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb Owen Hart vs. The Birdman

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/09/08 at 15:50:04 Monday Night RAW August 16th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened in a darkened area backstage in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. The only light was from the flames of torches which adorned the walls. There were a series of religious icons scattered around the area. Vince McMahon could only guess that this would be the setting for Papa Shango's voodoo sacrifice, which the voodoo practitioner had warned would take place tonight! The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Double Trouble (Val Puccio and Tony Puccio) when Billy Gunn pinned Val after the Sidewinder in 0:06:13. Rating: 3/4 Another video was shown of Crush training hard and getting back to full fitness. Crush warned Lex Luger that he was coming after him and there would be nowhere for The Narcissist to hide. Friar Ferguson pinned Louie Spicolli with the Sitdown Splash in 0:04:26. Rating: 1/2 Tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW featured the debut of the bizarre "mad monk", Friar Ferguson! The big 385-lb Ferguson took several swigs of holy water as he beat on poor Louie Spicolli and at one point even shoved Spicolli's head under his robe! Gene Okerlund hosted a SummerSlam report, in which it was announced that WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart had suffered a concussion over the weekend at a card at Madison Square Garden. Okerlund revealed that the Hitman would be out of action until SummerSlam, so he could return to 100% for his title defence against Lex Luger. Jim Duggan pinned Who with the Three Point Stance in 0:01:30. Rating: 3/4* Back at the site of the pending voodoo sacrifice, Madusa, apparently possessed, minced across broken glass in a cloud of silk scarves to the sound of drums. The drummer's eyes rolled back into his head and an old man began harassing a cage full of chickens. Bobby Heenan said it was the most strange and peculiar sight he had ever witnessed in his life. Vince McMahon pondered were Papa Shango was and just who this voodoo sacrifice was meant for! Razor Ramon pinned David Heath with the Razor's Edge in 0:03:43. Rating: ** 1/2 After the match, Razor Ramon took the mic and bemoaned the lack of competition he was receiving in the WWF. He was interrupted by "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who came out to a standing ovation. Savage gave Ramon a stern warning that it would be better for him to leave. The Bad Guy could see the seriousness in Savage's eyes and decided to just back off. The Macho Man took the mic and informed Papa Shango that all of the spells and the curses were going to end at SummerSlam. Suddenly, on the video wall, the cameras cut to the backstage area and the setting for the voodoo sacrifice! Papa Shango rose up from a coffin full of snakes and said that it was now time. Muffled screams of distress could be heard and then Randy Savage's wife Elizabeth was shown gagged and tied to the wall, her hands and feet bound!! As soon as Savage caught sight of his wife, he bolted out of the ring and to the back. Shango sent chills down the spine of every single person that was watching on as he produced a machete. Shango claimed that Elizabeth was possessed with the spirit of Macho Madness and must be cleansed! Shango went into a trance and started to advance on Elizabeth as Monday Night RAW cut to commercial! RAW returned from commercials with footage from during the adverts of Randy Savage breaking up the voodoo ritual with the aid of an iron bar he had found backstage. Savage attacked Papa Shango before he could harm Elizabeth and referees and road agents soon arrived on the scene to restore order. Randy Savage freed his wife and helped her down from the wall. The Macho Man embraced his trembling wife, all the while screaming that he was going to kill Papa Shango!! Circuit information: One can only imagine the ordeal that Randy Savage's wife Elizabeth went through tonight, as Papa Shango set out to sacrifice her on live television in a bizarre voodoo ritual! Lucky, The Macho Man was able to halt proceedings before his wife could be harmed. Shango crossed the line tonight and has made things even more personal between these two men. Don't expect their bout at SummerSlam to resemble anything like a wrestling match, but rather a full scale war! Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango Casket Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb Owen Hart vs. The Birdman Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where Bam Bam Bigelow and The Birdman will both be in singles action, plus The Quebecers battle Marty Jannetty and the Lightning Kid in our feature bout! Till then, so long everybody!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 03/10/08 at 00:18:56 Ah ... the memories. I used to ice skate at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, the home of the Duchess Blues, our local semi-pro hockey team. SummerSlam, from top to bottom is shaping up to be an all out war. Good stuff!
Thnikkaman	Posted on 03/10/08 at 04:08:45 loved the Shango/Savage bit I agree JG, Summerslam is shaping up to be one helluva show ... keep it coming King, you truly are a master
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/10/08 at 20:05:35 WWF Superstars August 21st, 1993 War Memorial, Ultica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Marty Jannetty and The Lightning Kid when Jacques defeated Kid by countout in 0:05:57. Rating: 1/2 [Jimmy Hart interfered against The Lightning Kid.] The Quebecers were victorious here when Jimmy Hart pulled down the top rope, causing the Lightning Kid to crash to the ringside floor. Pierre then knocked out the Kid with a shot from The Mouth of the South's megaphone and the Kid was subsequently counted out. Jacques and Pierre were not finished though. The doubled up on a gutsy Marty Jannetty, who tried to fight them off but the numbers were two great for him. As Jimmy Hart backed the referee into the corner and held him there, Jacques put Jannetty in a Boston crab while Pierre delivered three flying legdrops onto the back of the defenceless Jannetty's head! The Quebecers celebrated their heinous actions in front of the riled up crowd, before they were chased away by a chair-wielding Lightning Kid. Jannetty was helped to the back by The Lightning Kid and a couple of officials. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Barry Horowitz with the Diving Headbutt in 0:03:57. Rating: 1/4 After the match, several Lumbee Indians came out and danced around the ring. Bam Bam Bigelow was clearly confused, when suddenly Tatanka sprinted out from the back and the roof almost came off the War Memorial! Tatanka rolled into the squared circle, ducked under Bigelow's clothesline and fired away with a barrage of chops! Tatanka scored with two dropkicks and a flying Tomahawk off the top rope which floored the Beast from the East! Bigelow rolled under the bottom rope and when he attempted to return to the ring, Tatanka knocked him off the apron with another chop, bloodying Bigelow's nose! The Intercontinental Champion is back and he looks better than ever! Shawn Michaels pinned P.J. Walker after a flying elbowdrop in 0:04:10. Rating: * 1/4 Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed the WWF Title Match between Bret Hart and Lex Luger at SummerSlam. Lawler took full credit for concussing the Hitman and softening him up for The Narcissist. Gene Okerlund hosted another SummerSlam report in which footage was shown of Ted DiBiase's attack on Mr. Perfect from last week on Superstars. Afterwards, Okerlund announced that Perfect would face DiBiase at SummerSlam. The Birdman pinned Virgil with the One Fell Swoop in 0:10:15. Rating: *** During the bout, Owen Hart cut an insert promo regarding his match with The Birdman at SummerSlam. Owen was still sporting the scratches from that vicious bird attack from a couple of weeks ago. Circuit information: Marty Jannetty suffered severe back and neck trauma at the hands of The Quebecers, but thankfully no more serious injury than that. Jacques and Pierre have put Max Moon and now Marty Jannetty on the injured list since Jimmy Hart brought them to the WWF. Hart's promise that The Quebecers will dominate the tag team division looks to be coming to fruition. Tatanka appears to have returned from his initiation into the Lakota tribe every bit the warrior he said he would be. The Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Tatanka match at SummerSlam is one of the most eagerly anticipated Intercontinential Championship matches in recent memory. The mysterious Birdman is on a roll as he picked up his second huge win over an established star in as many weeks this evening on Superstars. Owen Hart must be wary of The Birdman, as he truly is capable of anything! Here's the current SummerSlam card from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan, live on August 30th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango Casket Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb Mr. Perfect vs. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Owen Hart vs. The Birdman Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where Ted DiBiase will be in singles action, plus we'll hear from both champion and challenger in the WWF Title Match at SummerSlam, Bret "Hitman" Hart and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/11/08 at 19:50:58 Monday Night RAW August 23rd, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Ted DiBiase pinned Scott Taylor with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:05:51. Rating: ** 3/4 After the match, Ted DiBiase choked out Scott Taylor with the Million Dollar Dream. Sensational Sherri handed DiBiase a $100 bill but before the Million Dollar Man could shove the cash down Taylor's throat, Mr. Perfect hit the ring to a huge pop! Perfect hammered DiBiase in the corner of the ring, but Sherri tried to intervene by jumping on Perfect's back! Perfect threw Sherri down to the mat and then hurled her out of the ring. Perfect continued his assault on DiBiase, when suddenly a man dressed in a brown leather jacket, black jeans, cowboy boots and wearing a single black glove made his way through the crowd and entered the ring! This man grabbed Perfect and floored him with a vicious lariat that almost decapitated Mr. Perfect! Beaming, DiBiase took the mic and introduced Perfect to the best bodyguard money can buy - "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham!! Lex Luger cut a promo regarding his WWF Title Match with Bret Hart at SummerSlam. Luger said that it was destiny that he would become King of the Ring and he achieved it. Now, Luger said it his destiny to become WWF Championship and promised that the whole world will witness him fulfil his destiny this Sunday on pay-per-view!! Duane Gill defeated Samu by disqualification in 0:01:50. Rating: -1/4* [Fatu interfered against Duane Gill.] Fatu wasted little time in getting involved in this match, tripping the hapless Duane Gill as he came off the ropes. Afa instructed his men to put a beating on Gill and they happily went to work. Thankfully, The Steiner Brothers made the save before any serious damage could be done. Scott Steiner had his ribs taped up, which could be a telling factor in the WWF Tag Team Title Match at SummerSlam. Gene Okerlund hosted a special SummerSlam report, in which the Lightning Kid challenged IRS and The Quebecers to a six man tag team match at SummerSlam. The rebuttal from IRS and The Quebecers was shown in which they laughed at the Kid, with Schyster mocking him and claiming that he doesn't have any friends to team with. Adam Bomb pinned Mike Bucci with the Tombstone in 0:04:56. Rating: 1/2* Adam Bomb again used The Undertaker's finishing hold to defeat Mike Bucci, but the bout was notable for the lights flickering on and off throughout. After the match, Harvey Wippleman took the mic and ranted that Adam Bomb is not scared of caskets or The Undertaker. The mic cut out several times during Wippleman's promo as the Deadman's mind games continue. Big Boss Man pinned The Berzerker with the Boss Man Slam in 0:07:23. Rating: 1/4 Papa Shango came out for the final bout of the evening, when he was jumped from behind by "Macho Man" Randy Savage! Savage bounced Shango's head off the ring steps and threw him into the guardrail repeatedly! Madusa attempted to get involved, but Savage ducked her mist and threw her down by the hair. Savage pushed down several officials and road agents, before smacking Shango in the back with a steel chair. The Macho Man went for a flying axhandle off the ring apron, but Shango grabbed his voodoo stick and shot a fireball into Savage's face!! Savage rolled around at ringside clutching his face, while Shango went into a voodoo trance! The commentary team fell silent as officials took Shango and Madusa away. The paramedics were quickly on the scene to attend to Savage's burnt face. The show closed with a promo from Bret "Hitman" Hart. Hart said that it would be a miscarriage of justice is someone as unscrupulous and crooked as Lex Luger ever held the WWF Championship. Hart promised to do everything in his power to prevent that from happening at SummerSlam. Circuit information: We have no information on the status of "Macho Man" Randy Savage, other than the doctors were very concerned about the condition of his left eye. Ted DiBiase violently introduced Mr. Perfect to his new bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham. The 6'6", 275 pound Widowmaker is the son of legendary wrestler Blackjack Mulligan and is apparently the best bodyguard money can buy. This year's edition of SummerSlam is live this Sunday on pay-per-view from The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Let's run down the card for you. WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Lex Luger "The Narcissist" Lex Luger secured this WWF Title shot against Bret "Hitman" Hart by emerging victorious in the King of the Ring tournament, a win that was undoubtedly shrouded in controversy. The dangerous Luger will stoop to unspeakable depths in order to achieve success in the WWF, which makes him a very unpredictable opponent for Bret Hart. Luger has brutalised the Hitman on two separate occasions in the past months, even going so far as to force the Hitman to kiss his feet in the ultimate show of disrespect. But the Hitman, who has successfully defended the championship against such challengers as Ric Flair, Razor Ramon, Hulk Hogan and Yokozuna en route to becoming the most fighting champion in WWF history, will be no pushover for Luger. Both these men come into the bout not at 100%, as The Narcissist is still recovering from a serious back injury and The Hitman suffered a mild concussion several weeks ago. However, I doubt that will stop these two men contesting a tremendous WWF championship match worthy of any pay-per-view. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Bam Bam Bigelow lost to WWF Intercontinental Champion Tatanka via count out in their title match at the King of the Ring, a defeat which did not sit will with the Beast of the East. Bigelow petitioned WWF President Jack Tunney's office until he was granted a rematch, before targeting Tatanka and cutting off several locks of his prized red hair - a symbol that honours the blood and bravery of all Native Americans - in a savage attack. Tatanka took some time to forge a new warrior inside himself and was inducted into the Lakota tribe. A fired-up Tatanka returned to our screens last week on Superstars, tearing into Bigelow and sending him out of the ring. Bigelow seems to have inadvertently lit a fire under Tatanka, but the Beast from the East will stop at nothing to inflict the first defeat of his WWF career on Tatanka and take his Intercontinental Title. WWF Tag Team Championship: The Steiner Brothers vs. The Headshrinkers The Steiner Brothers have dominated the tag team division since their debut on the premier edition of Monday Night RAW when they captured the titles from Money Inc. The Headshrinkers will offer a different kind of challenge to the All Americans from Michigan State as they are savage, barbaric brawlers with no respect for the rules. Under the guidance of the ruthless Afa, Fatu and Samu destroyed the Steiners two weeks ago, an assault which left Scott Steiner with bruised ribs. The Headshrinkers will come to fight at SummerSlam, but the Steiners can brawl with the best of them. "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Papa Shango An angry Papa Shango vowed to curse the entire World Wrestling Federation when he was omitted from the King of the Ring tournament and it soon became evident that he was targeting "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Shango's hexes on Savage resulted in the Macho Man falling violently ill and black goo streaming from his forehead. Savage looked for retribution on Shango but his constant attempts to attack the voodoo practitioner resulted in his announcers licence being suspended. Shango then tried to sacrifice Savage's lovely wife Elizabeth in a bizarre voodoo ritual, but the Macho Man fortunately arrived on the scene before any harm could come to her. Savage, out of his mind at this point, went after Shango this past week on Monday Night RAW, but Shango shot fire from his voodoo stick into Savage's face, blinding the Macho Man. We do not know the severity of Savage's injuries at this point, but we do know it will take a great deal from preventing him showing up at SummerSlam to tear Papa Shango's head off. Casket Match: The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb Harvey Wippleman has made it his main goal to rid the World Wrestling Federation of The Undertaker. After his previous attempts to do this with Kamala and Giant Gonzalez failed, Wippleman brought in Adam Bomb this past spring and soon afterward The Creation of Devastation and the Phenom were at each others' throats. Their brawl at King of the Ring did not solve anything, as both men were counted out. Two weeks later, Bomb power bombed 'Taker on the unprotected concrete floor at ringside and we have not seen The Undertaker since. Bomb and Wippleman have taken credit for killing The Undertaker, but Paul Bearer sent the duo a chilling message that the Deadman would return at SummerSlam and challenged Bomb to a Casket Match! There has only ever been one Casket Match in WWF history - where the object of the match is to trap the opposing wrestler in the casket and shut the lid - and it seems an appropriate way to end this feud. Mr. Perfect vs. "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Mr. Perfect began to doubt his own abilities after he was defeated by Lex Luger on two separate occasions in the King of the Ring tournament. As Perfect confessed this to Gene Okerlund, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase interrupted the interview segment and mocked Mr. Perfect, even offering a job as his custodian! That remark didn't sit well with Perfect, who responded with a hard slap. With the help of Sensational Sherri, DiBiase beat down Perfect. Perfect came out for revenge this past week on Monday Night RAW, but he was attacked by DiBiase's new bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham. DiBiase has been on a roll since re-entering the singles ranks of the WWF, but he will face his sternest test yet against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam. However, Perfect will have to be wary of the presence of Sherri and The Widowmaker at ringside. The Birdman vs. Owen Hart The former Koko B. Ware unleashed his dark alter-ego, The Birdman, on the world at the King of the Ring and since then he has targeted his former tag team partner Owen Hart. The Birdman, one of the most bizarre and creepy characters in WWF history, possesses control over birds and can command them to attack at will. Owen has been the victim of several of these bird attacks; the most violent of which left The Rocket with many deep lacerations. Owen is determined to knock The Birdman off his perch once and for all at SummerSlam. Quebecers and IRS vs. Lightning Kid and ???** Ever since the team of Money Inc broke up, Jimmy Hart searched high and low for a new tag team to manage - without success. The Mouth of the South then decided to bring back one of his former charges - The Mountie - but he would not come alone and The Quebecers made their WWF debut. Jacques and Pierre have taken no prisoners since arriving in the World Wrestling Federation, putting both Max Moon and Marty Jannetty out of action. Meanwhile, IRS has had his problems with the Lightning Kid as of late, suffering two embarrassing defeats to the rookie. This bout encompasses two feuds, with the Lightning Kid, upset at the attacks on his friends Moon and Jannetty, challenging IRS and the Quebecers to this six man tag team match. But with Moon and Jannetty on the shelf, who will the Kid call upon to team with him? Find out this Sunday!! We'll see you live this Sunday night for SummerSlam!! Till then, so long everybody!!

The show began with a vignette for T.L. Hopper, the wrestling plumber, showing him at work. Hopper will make his WWF debut tonight on Superstars!! The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) and Jim Duggan defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) and Repo Man when Duggan pinned Blake with the Three Point Stance in 0:16:20. Rating: * 3/4 [The Genius interfered against Bushwhacker Luke.] Tito Santana has dumped the El Matador Spanish bullfighter gimmick, choosing rather to revert to his previous persona of Tito Santana. Santana, a former WWF Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion, is now looking to make an impact in the singles ranks once again. Tito Santana pinned The Predator after a figure-four leglock in 0:04:51. Rating: * The sounds of a flushing toilet meant that it was time for the debut of T.L. Hopper, who came out wearing jeans that hung low and a stained undershirt. He carried his plunger, named "Betsy", to the ring with him. T.L. Hopper pinned P.J. Walker with the Down the Drain in 0:05:57. Rating: -3/4* After the match, T.L. Hopper shoved his plunger into P.J. Walker's face. Kamala pinned Skinner with the Ugandan Splash in 0:03:44. Rating: DUD Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler previewed the card for SummerSlam. Lawler predicted that Lex Luger would become the new WWF Champion - because it takes a king to know a king - as the show went off air.

Two weeks later, Bomb power bombed 'Taker on the unprotected concrete floor at ringside and we have not seen The Undertaker since. Bomb and Wippleman have taken credit for killing The Undertaker, but Paul Bearer sent the duo a chilling message that the Deadman would return at SummerSlam and challenged Bomb to a Casket Match! There has only ever been one Casket Match in WWF history - where the object of the match is to trap the opposing wrestler in the casket and shut the lid - and it seems an appropriate way to end this feud. Mr. Perfect vs. "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase Mr. Perfect began to doubt his own abilities after he was defeated by Lex Luger on two separate occasions in the King of the Ring tournament. As Perfect confessed this to Gene Okerlund, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase interrupted the interview segment and mocked Mr. Perfect, even offering a job as his custodian! That remark didn't sit well with Perfect, who responded with a hard slap. With the help of Sensational Sherri, DiBiase beat down Perfect. Perfect came out for revenge this past week on Monday Night RAW, but he was attacked by DiBiase's new bodyguard, "The widowmaker" Barry Windham. DiBiase has been on a roll since re-entering the singles ranks of the WWF, but he will face his sternest test yet against Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam. However, Perfect will have to be wary of the presence of Sherri and The Widowmaker at ringside. The Birdman vs. Owen Hart The former Koko B. Ware unleashed his dark alter-ego, The Birdman, on the world at the King of the Ring and since then he has targeted his former tag team partner Owen Hart. The Birdman, one of the most bizarre and creepy characters in WWF history, possesses control over birds and can command them to attack at will. Owen has been the victim of several of these bird attacks; the most violent of which left The Rocket with many deep lacerations. Owen is determined to knock The Birdman off his perch once and for all at SummerSlam. Quebecers and IRS vs. Lightning Kid and ??? Ever since the team of Money Inc broke up, Jimmy Hart searched high and low for a new tag team to manage - without success. The Mouth of the South then decided to bring back one of his former charges - The Mountie - but he would not come alone and The Quebecers made their WWF debut. Jacques and Pierre have taken no prisoners since arriving in the World Wrestling Federation, putting both Max Moon and Marty Jannetty out of action. Meanwhile, IRS has had his problems with the Lightning Kid as of late, suffering two embarrassing defeats to the rookie. This bout encompasses two feuds, with the Lightning Kid, upset at the attacks on his friends Moon and Jannetty, challenging IRS and the Quebecers to this six man tag team match. But with Moon and Jannetty on the shelf, who will the Kid call upon to team with him? Find out this Sunday!! We'll see you live tomorrow night for SummerSlam!! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/14/08 at 19:19:54 WWF SUMMERSLAM '93 August 29th, 1993 The Palace, Auburn Hills, Michigan Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Prior to the opening bout, The Lightning Kid revealed during an interview with Gene Okerlund that his tag team partners would be The Smoking Gunns. Billy and Bart vowed to shoot down The Quebecers so that the Kid could take care of IRS. Meanwhile, in the ring, Irwin R. Schyster, Jimmy Hart and The Quebecers pretended to be scared of their three opponents. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) and Irwin R. Schyster defeated The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) and The Lightning Kid when Jacques pinned Billy Gunn after a flying elbowdrop in 0:15:46. Rating: * 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against The Lightning Kid.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Billy Gunn.] Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Macho Man Randy Savage. Savage had a bandage over his left eye, obviously a result of Shango's fireball last week on Monday Night RAW. The Macho Man cut an intense promo on Papa Shango, promising to get his dignity back tonight. Savage said that his wife Elizabeth was still suffering from terrible nightmares brought on after Shango abducted her three weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. Ted DiBiase pinned Mr. Perfect via pinfall in 0:10:21. Rating: * 1/4 [Sensational Sherri and Barry Windham interfered against Mr. Perfect.] The constant interference from Sensational Sherri and "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham was too much for Mr. Perfect in this one. Perfect appeared to have the match won with a Perfect Plex on Ted DiBiase, but as Sherri distracted the referee, Windham dragged Perfect out of the ring and floored him with a short lariat! The Widowmaker then rolled Perfect back in where he was easily pinned by DiBiase. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Tatanka with the Bigelowsault in 0:16:33. Rating: * 1/4 (Bam Bam Bigelow won the WWF Intercontinental Title.) This Intercontinental Title Match was a superb brawl between two men who had yet to be pinned in the WWF. The finish came when Bam Bam Bigelow crotched Tatanka on the top rope as the Native American went for a flying Tomahawk chop. Bigelow took Tatanka down with a Samoan Drop and then the huge 360 pounder showed incredible agility by delivering an awesome moonsault for the pinfall and the title! This was Tatanka's first defeat in his WWF career. Backstage, Gene Okerlund tried to conduct an interview with Papa Shango, but Randy Savage attacked the voodoo practitioner from behind! Savage pounded Shango throughout the backstage area and out into the arena. When the two men eventually made it to the ring, the official called for the bell. Randy Savage pinned Papa Shango with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:08:19. Rating: * 1/2 [Madusa interfered against Randy Savage.] They didn't stay in the squared circle long though, as Macho Man Randy Savage and Papa Shango brawled around ringside. Savage ran Shango into the ringpost and bounced his head off the announcers table. Savage tried to use the ring bell, but as the referee disarmed him, Madusa spewed mist into Savage's face, turning the tide of the bout. Shango went after Savage's injured eye, ripping the patch off and tearing away at it. Savage fought back though and scored with two flying elbows to Shango. The Macho Man wasn't finished though and went for a third, but Madusa crawled into the ring and covered Shango in order to protect him. Savage didn't care though and hit the third elbow anyway for the victory. Randy Savage wanted to inflict further damage to Papa Shango after the match, but officials and road agents were able to drag Shango away in time. The Birdman pinned Owen Hart via pinfall in 0:12:07. Rating: * 3/4 Owen Hart appeared to have this match in the bag when he blasted The Birdman with a spinning heel kick and went up top for the Rocket Launcher. However, a flock of birds flew down from the rafters and flapped in Owen's face, causing him to lose his balance! Owen crashed down to the mat and was pinned by the Birdman. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when R. Steiner pinned Fatu with the Steiner Bulldog in 0:19:08. Rating: * 1/2 (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [Afa interfered against Scott Steiner.] [Afa interfered against Rick Steiner.] The Steiner Brothers were the audience favourites in this WWF Tag Team Championship match, as they were defending the belts in their hometown. The bandages around Scott Steiner's ribs were like a red rag to a bull for Fatu and Samu, who assaulted Scott mercilessly. Rick and Scott Steiner eventually came out on top in this hard-fought battle, in which they were taken right to the limit by the Headshrinkers. Casket Match: The Undertaker defeated Adam Bomb in 0:13:59. Rating: * 1/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against The Undertaker.] [Paul Bearer interfered against Adam Bomb.] The Undertaker made his return to WWF competition here to a tremendous reception from the huge crowd in attendance. The two wrestlers brawled, using the ring steps and steel chairs. Adam Bomb went for another power bomb on the unprotected concrete floor, but Undertaker backdropped his way out of danger. When The Undertaker first attempted to go for the win, a murder of crows flew out of the casket when 'Taker opened the lid! Harvey Wippleman attempted to get involved in the contest, but Paul Bearer tripped him and he fell off the apron. The Deadman was victorious when he Tombstoned Adam Bomb and rolled him into the casket, shutting the lid. Bret Hart made Lex Luger submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:22:12. Rating: * (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) This WWF World Title match between Bret Hart and Lex Luger was an awesome spectacle and began with a series of wrestling holds. Throughout the contest, Luger ruthlessly attacked the recently-concussed Hitman's head, while Hart focussed his assault on Luger's injured back. Late in the contest, referee Earl Hebner was bumped. Typically, The Narcissist took advantage and removed the protective padding from his forearm. Luger knocked Hart out with the running forearm and covered the Hitman. The groggy Hebner then crawled over and counted the three count to the disgust of the crowd! However, as Lex Luger celebrated with the WWF Championship, Crush made his way out from the back! We hadn't seen Crush since the King of the Ring, when Luger had knocked Crush out in a backstage hallway, putting the big Hawaiian out with a severe concussion! Crush explained to the referee what had happened and then told him to view the footage on Jim Ross' monitor! Luger was livid as Earl Hebner reviewed the footage and snatched the title belt from The Narcissist's hands! Hebner wanted to disqualify Luger, but Bret Hart begged him not to, preferring to beat him decisively. The match was restarted and The Hitman managed to make Luger submit to the Sharpshooter, retaining his title. The crowd was overjoyed with the outcome of the match and relieved that Lex Luger hadn't robbed Bret Hart of the WWF Championship. Crush celebrated with Bret Hart and held his arm aloft in triumph as the show went off-air. Card rating: * 3/4 Circuit information: Justice was done in the main event of SummerSlam as Bret "Hitman" Hart retained the WWF Championship over "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Luger looked to have stolen the title as he knocked out The Hitman with his steel plated forearm when the referee went down and he covered Hart for the three count. However, Crush returned from a serious concussion and informed the official of what went down, resulting in the bout being restarted and Hart came out on top. It was Luger who attacked Crush at the King of the Ring, forcing him out of the tournament and costing him a possible shot at the WWF Title. Tonight, Crush got a morsel of revenge on The Narcissist and most WWF fans are very glad that he made an appearance this evening. Bam Bam Bigelow finally snared the Intercontinental Championship from Tatanka in a gruelling brawl. It was Tatanka's first ever defeat in a WWF ring and what a jaw-dropping manoeuvre it took to get the job done...Bigelow's moonsault was just incredible!! The Randy Savage-Papa Shango confrontation loosely resembled a wrestling match as both men pummelled each other for just over eight minutes. Shango will be feeling the effects of this beating from the Macho Man for a long time, while Savage's emotional scars from Shango's curses will also take time to heal. The Undertaker sealed Adam Bomb in the casket and shut the lid on his lengthy feud with the Creation of Devastation. But what was the deal with the crows inside the casket?? The Steiner Brothers retained the Tag Team Titles in a gripping brawl with The Headshrinkers. The Steiners don't look like they'll be giving up the straps any time soon. Mr. Perfect was screwed out of a win over Ted DiBiase by the Million Dollar Man's new bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham. Perfect feels that nothing has been settled in his dispute with DiBiase, but he'll need eyes in the back of his head with the Widowmaker around. In news away from SummerSlam, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan has given notice. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Thanks for joining us tonight for SummerSlam, but the action does not end there! We hope you'll join us tomorrow night live for Monday Night RAW for all the fallout from SummerSlam, plus we are told that Crush will be making his in-ring return on the show! Till then, so long everybody!

After a big win over Mr. Perfect, he is primed for a WWF title run.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/18/08 at 10:51:34 Monday Night RAW August 30th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with stills from last night's SummerSlam pay-per-view, where Bret "Hitman" Hart retained the WWF Championship over "The Narcissist" Lex Luger after Crush returned and informed the official of Luger's cheating, forcing the referee to overturn his original decision. Also, Bam Bam Bigelow captured the Intercontinental Title from Tatanka, ending the Native American's undefeated streak. Vince McMahon welcomed "Macho Man" Randy Savage back to the announcers table after Savage had vanquished Papa Shango at SummerSlam. The Macho Man said he felt reinvigorated by his win last night as Bret Hart came out to defend the WWF Title against IRS. Bret Hart made Irwin R. Schyster submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:13:53. Rating: **** 1/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Bret Hart was given a standing ovation by Vince McMahon, Randy Savage and the fans in attendance after another successful title defence in which he forced IRS to submit to the Sharpshooter. The Macho Man asked Vince McMahon several times during the contest if McMahon thought that the Hitman might give Savage a shot at the championship some time in the future. Crush pinned Dan Dubiel after a dropkick in 0:07:06. Rating: 1/2* Crush returned to in-ring competition tonight after his long injury lay-off with a convincing win. After the contest, Crush took the mic and challenged Lex Luger to a match. Crush added that the thought of getting his hands on Luger motivated him to train harder and return to the ring quicker than expected. Doink the Clown made Friar Ferguson submit to a stump puller in 0:07:32. Rating: * 1/2 Mr. Perfect was interviewed backstage by Sean Mooney. Perfect stated that after what happened at SummerSlam, he was determined to get another piece of Ted DiBiase. Perfect said that if it meant going through The Widowmaker to get to The Million Dollar Man, then so be it. Big Boss Man pinned The Predator with the Boss Man Slam in 0:04:03. Rating: * 1/2 As the show drew to a close, Vince McMahon announced that Saturday Night's Main Event would return on Saturday, September 25th, live from Madison Square Garden, on NBC! Circuit information: Bret "Hitman" Hart continues to turn back all comers who try and take his WWF Championship from him. Hart defeated Lex Luger last night at SummerSlam and tonight he was victorious over Irwin R. Schyster in another gripping bout. Who will be the next man to step up to the plate and challenge the Hitman? Certainly from his comments tonight, "Macho Man" Randy Savage feels that he should be considered. Crush is back and he wants Lex Luger. We haven't received any response from The Narcissist as of yet, but he is scheduled for some interview time this coming weekend on Superstars, so hopefully he will answer the challenge made by Crush. Also on Superstars, The Birdman will be in action, Shawn Michaels faces Virgil and Adam Bomb battles "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! We hope you'll join us then!
JeepGuy	Posted on 03/18/08 at 14:23:41 Another nice card as a follow-up to SummerSlam. One question ... didn't Duggan give notice? That didn't last long.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/18/08 at 16:20:49 Superstars is his last show in.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/19/08 at 21:10:22 WWF Superstars September 4th, 1993 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Adam Bomb pinned Jim Duggan after a flying lariat in 0:07:30. Rating: * 3/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Jim Duggan.] Adam Bomb's frustration at his loss to The Undertaker in their casket match at SummerSlam boiled over after the bell. Bomb drilled Duggan with two Atom Smasher power bombs, before several officials stopped him from causing any more damage. Duggan was stretchered out of the arena. Before the Shawn Michaels vs. Virgil match-up, footage was shown from their King of the Ring qualifying match this past May where The Heartbreak Kid came out on top. Virgil will be out to avenge that defeat tonight. Shawn Michaels pinned Virgil with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:08:58. Rating: * 3/4 "The Narcissist" Lex Luger was interviewed backstage by Gene Okerlund. Luger lambasted Crush for sticking his nose in where it wasn't wanted at SummerSlam and claimed that he would be WWF Champion right now if it wasn't for Crush. The Narcissist accepted Crush's challenge from this past week on Monday Night RAW, vowing to send Crush back to Hawaii on the coconut boat he came in on! Jerry "The King" Lawler then announced that Crush would be his guest on the King's Court this Monday night on RAW. Tito Santana pinned T.L. Hopper with the Mexican Hammer in 0:09:19. Rating: 3/4 Vince McMahon revealed that a huge six man tag team match had been signed for next week on Superstars, pitting the trio of The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty against the team of The Quebecers and IRS! Footage was shown from The Undertaker vs. Adam Bomb match at SummerSlam, where The Undertaker opened the casket and a flock of birds flew out and began flapping around him. The Birdman then made his bizarre entrance for his match tonight. The Birdman pinned Lance Cassidy with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:36. Rating: DUD After the Birdman chalked up another win, a bell tolled and the crowd rose to their feet as The Undertaker made his way out! The Undertaker slowly walked down the aisle and entered the ring, where he and The Birdman stared each other down! The Birdman displayed absolutely no intimidation as he got right in the Deadman's face as Superstars went off air! Circuit information: Superstars ended this evening with an electric confrontation between The Undertaker and The Birdman. The Undertaker was apparently quite miffed that The Birdman sent his crows to attack him at SummerSlam. The Birdman showed he isn't scared of The Undertaker this evening, but why would The Birdman want to pick a fight with the Deadman? Lex Luger accepted Crush's challenge tonight, but a date for the match has yet to be determined. However, Crush will appear on the King's Court this week on Monday Night RAW. But don't forget that the last time Crush appeared on that show last January, it ended very badly for the big Hawaiian. Adam Bomb is back in business as he destroyed "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on Duggan's last night in, forcing him to leave the arena on a stretcher. Bomb will take some stopping when he is in this kind of mood! Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where Razor Ramon will be in action, Vince McMahon will conduct a special in-ring interview with WWF Champion Bret Hart, plus Crush will appear in the King's Court! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/20/08 at 17:05:39 Monday Night RAW September 6th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with Jerry "The King" Lawler hosting an edition of the King's Court. Lawler's guest this week was Crush, who came out to a tremendous ovation from the fans inside the Manhattan Center. Footage was shown of Crush's previous appearance on the King's Court, where he was brutalised and put on the shelf by Lawler on the post-Royal Rumble edition of the show. Crush warily entered the ring, but before Lawler asked any questions, he introduced his second's guest on tonight's show - in Lawler's words, the man who was screwed out of the WWF Title by Crush at SummerSlam - "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! The reigning King of the Ring made his way out to the ring to a chorus of boos. Crush snatched the mic from Jerry Lawler and demanded that he and Lex Luger have their match right here tonight on Monday Night RAW! The crowd voiced their approval, but Luger started to complain about his back injury. Lawler interrupted and asked Crush why he would even want to face Luger. Lawler understood that Crush was mad about Luger attacking him at the King of the Ring and putting him in the hospital, but added that if they had had their match, the result would have been the same and Crush would still have woken up in a hospital bed! With Crush distracted by Lawler's remarks, The Narcissist grabbed a sceptre and sized Crush up with it! Just as Luger was about to strike, Crush turned around and chased Luger off! The trap that Luger and Lawler had concocted for Crush tonight ultimately failed. Razor Ramon pinned Barry Horowitz with the Razor's Edge in 0:02:42. Rating: After Razor Ramon had made short work of Barry Horowitz, The Bad Guy left the ring and berated Vince McMahon at the commentary desk! Ramon hoisted McMahon up out of his chair by his lapels, complaining of being overlooked and demanding better competition! The show quickly cut to commercial. When the show returned from the break, Vince McMahon was trying to regain his composure. He once again plugged Saturday Night's Main Event which returns on Saturday, September 25th from Madison Square Garden, live on NBC! Ted DiBiase pinned David Heath with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:05:39. Rating: 1/2 After the bout, Mr. Perfect ran out and attacked "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham at ringside! The two men brawled on the floor, with officials and road agents trying desperately to separate them. Ted DiBiase managed to get a few shots in on Perfect before the melee was finally broken up. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated P.J. Walker and Phil Apollo when Billy Gunn pinned P. Apollo with the Flying Legdrop in 0:07:53. Rating: * 1/2 Vince McMahon introduced WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart for an in-ring interview. Bret Hart was given a standing ovation by the white-hot New York crowd. McMahon congratulated the Hitman on his recent accomplishments, most recently turning back a tough challenge from Lex Luger at SummerSlam. Hart said that he had almost held the WWF Title for one year and had no plans to relinquish it any time soon! Just then, "Macho Man" Randy Savage entered the ring. Savage revealed that he was extremely impressed with Bret Hart's performances and put him over as a WWF Champion that everyone can be proud of. The Macho Man said that his recent feud with Papa Shango had lit a fire under him and he felt more alive than any other time in his career! Savage then respectfully asked the Hitman for a shot at the WWF Title! The crowd were going crazy as Bret Hart divulged the mutual respect he holds for Savage, saying that the Macho Man was always somebody that he looked up to when he debuted in the WWF. Hart said it would be his pleasure to defend the WWF Championship against a sure-fire WWF Hall of Famer like the Macho Man Randy Savage. Hart and Savage agreed to have the match next week on Monday Night RAW to the joy of the crowd and they shook hands on it as the show drew to a close. Circuit information: Next week's edition of Monday Night RAW is a show that no self-respecting wrestling fan would dream of missing! "Macho Man" Randy Savage will challenge Bret "Hitman" Hart for the WWF Championship in a dream match that by all rights should be on pay-per-view. The only way you can witness this guaranteed match of the year candidate is by tuning in next week. Lex Luger and Jerry Lawler hatched a plan to attack Crush in the King's Court, but Crush was wise to it and foiled their plans. Rumour has it that WWF President Jack Tunney has a date in mind for this eagerly-awaited singles bout between Crush and the Narcissist. Mr. Perfect and "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham had a wild brawl tonight after Perfect jumped the Widowmaker at the end of Ted DiBiase's bout tonight. The Widowmaker cost Perfect his match against The Million Dollar Man at SummerSlam and Perfect is not happy about it to say the least. There's a big six man tag team main event this weekend on Superstars which sees the team of The Quebecers and IRS clash with the trio of Max Moon, Marty Jannetty and The Lightning Kid. We hope to see you there, so until then, so long everybody!!
JeepGuy	Posted on 03/20/08 at 17:24:55 Back to back cards of wrestling goodness! I like how it all flows smoothly from feud to feud, card to card. Great work.
The TNM Members Champ	Posted on 03/21/08 at 00:52:19 I'm glad to see such a long term circuit like this continuing on. I've incorporated your type of writeups into my ECW circuit and it's a tremendous benefit to producing more cards and making it more fun rather than a chore. Savage/Hart for next week is too good to be true. I wonder if there will be some shenanigans.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/21/08 at 10:24:21 WWF Superstars September 11th, 1993 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with a video package documenting the destructive first few weeks of The Quebecers' WWF career, during which they injured Max Moon and Marty Jannetty. That has set up this big six man tag team match for tonight, where Jacques and Pierre team up with IRS to battle the threesome of Jannetty, Moon and the Lightning Kid. Comments from both teams were then shown to build up the match. Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and The Lightning Kid defeated The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) and Irwin R. Schyster when Kid pinned I.R.S. with an inside cradle in 0:17:12. Quebecer Pierre injured his left knee. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: *** 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Max Moon.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against The Lightning Kid.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Marty Jannetty.] The Lightning Kid was able to roll up IRS for the three count in this solid encounter, picking up the win for his team and ending his feud with the taxman. The Undertaker pinned Duane Gill with the Tombstone in 0:00:54. Rating: * 3/4 As The Undertaker squashed Duane Gill in less than a minute, The Birdman was shown in the crowd with a vulture on his arm. Bob Backlund made Jim Powers submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:06:33. Rating: * A pre-recorded interview with "Macho Man" Randy Savage was shown. Savage said that he couldn't wait to face Bret Hart for the WWF Title this Monday Night RAW. Savage revealed that he had a burning desire inside of him to become WWF Champion for a third time and he dedicated the match to his wife Elizabeth, who is still convalescing at home after her harrowing ordeal at the hands of Papa Shango. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Friar Ferguson after a splash in 0:08:14. Rating: During the bout, Tatanka cut an insert promo saying that he had no excuses for losing the Intercontinental Title to Bam Bam Bigelow at SummerSlam and added that he would work harder than ever to get himself back into title contention. Vince McMahon closed the show by plugging the Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage WWF Title Match this coming week on Monday Night RAW! The hype was accompanied by video footage of Savage and Hart training hard for this gigantic bout. Circuit information: Max Moon, Marty Jannetty and The Lightning Kid finally got revenge on The Quebecers and IRS tonight and settled their dispute. Aside from the win, it also appears that Quebecer Pierre picked up some sort of knee injury during the bout. We are still waiting to hear the severity of the injury. The Birdman showed up in the crowd during the Undertaker's match tonight with a vulture on his arm. Vultures are generally associated with death and even used as a metaphor for those who prey on the weak or dying, so is The Birdman indulging in some sort of psychological warfare with the Man From The Darkside? You don't need me to tell you what the main event of Monday Night RAW this week is because everybody knows and everybody is talking about it! Don't you dare miss it!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/24/08 at 11:39:22 Monday Night RAW September 13th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with comments from WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and "Macho Man" Randy Savage regarding their championship match in the main event of the show. Throughout the show, comments were shown from various WWF superstars where they shared their thoughts on which way the match would go. Big Boss Man pinned Beau Beverly after hitting him with the scroll in 0:09:08. Rating: 1/2 [The Genius interfered against Big Boss Man.] The Big Boss Man picked up the win here after The Genius got involved. Boss Man disarmed the Genius of his metal scroll and clocked Beau Beverly with it for the three count. The Berzerker pinned Glen Ruth after a flying shoulderblock in 0:05:21. Rating: 3/4 WWF President Jack Tunney announced that the first match signed for the special edition of Saturday Night's Main Event on September 25th is the long-awaited grudge match between Crush and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger! Bret Hart and Randy Savage battled to a no-contest in 0:24:01. Rating: **** 1/2 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Yokozuna interfered against Randy Savage.] [Yokozuna interfered against Bret Hart.] This tremendous battle between Bret Hart and Randy Savage was shaping up to be the greatest match in the nine-month history of Monday Night RAW, when it was ruined by two extremely bitter and underhanded men. Savage and the Hitman went back and forth for almost twenty five minutes with the WWF Championship at stake. Hart trapped the Macho Man in the Sharpshooter late on in the contest, but Savage refused to quit and made the ropes. Savage connected with his flying elbow, but the Hitman stretched a leg over the bottom rope, preventing the three count from going down. The Hitman blasted The Macho Man with a vicious backbreaker in the middle of the ring and signalled that he was going for the Sharpshooter one more time, when Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji made an appearance. We hadn't seen these two despicable individuals since the King of the Ring, when Bret Hart retained the championship against the mammoth Yokozuna. Yokozuna entered the ring and attacked Hart, laying out the fatigued Hitman with a belly-to-belly suplex and a massive legdrop! The Macho Man dragged himself up to the top rope and went to drop an axhandle on Yokozuna, when suddenly a man dressed in samurai gear leapt the railing and shoved Savage off his perch! Savage crashed sternum-first into the guardrail and was in a world of hurt. Referee Earl Hebner had no option but to throw the match out. This evil trio's work was not done though. Mr. Fuji knocked out the referee, while Yokozuna whipped Bret Hart into the turnbuckle and the man in samurai garb connected with a handspring elbow. After the samurai floored Hart with a kick to the chest, Yokozuna climbed up and delivered two earth-shattering Banzai drops to the WWF Champion! Yokozuna stared into the camera and yelled, "BANZAI!!", while Vince McMahon frantically called for help as the show drew to a close! Circuit information: The WWF Championship Match between Bret Hart and Randy Savage was living up to all expectations until it was spoiled by the return of Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji, who interjected themselves in the match and caused it to be ruled a no contest. Back in July, after Yokozuna failed to take the title from The Hitman, an irate Mr. Fuji vowed to end the career of Hart. That mission has apparently started tonight and Fuji and Yokozuna are not alone - they have a mysterious samurai with them to help carry out their dirty work. We have no idea about the identity of this newcomer and Mr. Fuji is keeping his lips sealed at present time. Bret Hart and Randy Savage were both thoroughly examined by WWF medical staff after the show and we do not have an update on their condition just yet. Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Adam Bomb will all be in action this weekend on Superstars, plus we have been told that more matches will be announced for Saturday Night's Main Event!

Rating: * 1/4 During the match, Ted DiBiase cut an insert promo saying that the result of their match on SNME would be the same as at SummerSlam - The Million Dollar Man would be victorious. The Widowmaker looked on menacingly in the background, punching his black gloved fist into his palm. Adam Bomb pinned Chris Duffy after a powerslam in 0:05:15. Rating: 3/4* [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Chris Duffy.] Vince McMahon revealed that a special tag team match had been signed for Saturday Night's Main Event which will see WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow teaming up with Razor Ramon to battle the duo of Tatanka and the Big Boss Man. McMahon added that esteemed WWF President Jack Tunney has stipulated that if Bam Bam Bigelow is pinned, then whomever claims the fall will be granted an Intercontinental Title shot.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/27/08 at 18:59:37 Monday Night RAW September 20th, 1993 Manhattan Center, New York City, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with highlights from the gripping battle between Bret Hart and Randy Savage last week on Monday Night RAW, followed by the return of Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna and the vicious attack on the Hitman and The Macho Man. Fuji and Yokozuna were helped in the beatdown by a mysterious man clad in samurai gear. Tonight, Mr. Fuji will be in the King's Court and has promised to reveal the identity of his new wrestler! Shawn Michaels pinned Typhoon after a superkick in 0:03:51. Rating: 3/4 Shawn Michaels chalked up a big win here tonight when he avoided Typhoon's charge into the corner and dropped him with a crescent kick to the back of the head. Friar Ferguson pinned David Heath with the Sitdown Splash in 0:06:36. Rating: 1/2 Jerry "The King" Lawler presented another edition of the King's Court. His guests this week were Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji, along with the man dressed in samurai gear who debuted last week. Fuji said that his new charge is the son of Japanese wrestler the Great Kabuki and claimed that he is the most feared man in all of Japan. Fuji said that his new wrestler would tear the WWF apart and help him destroy WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Fuji revealed that his name is the Great Muta! Muta removed his mask and sprayed green mist into the camera to bring the segment to a close. Marty Jannetty pinned T.L. Hopper with the Rocker Dropper in 0:06:34. Rating: ** Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan discussed the interesting tag team match booked for this weekend's edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, which will see Tatanka and the Big Boss Man team to face WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon. This contest carries the stipulation that if the Beast from the East is pinned, then the winner of the fall will receive an Intercontinental Title shot. Sean Mooney then conduct an interview with Razor Ramon, in which the Bad Guy revealed his frustration at being booked in this match as he wants gold around his waist to match the gold around his neck. Bob Backlund defeated Dan Dubiel via pinfall in 0:05:18. Rating: 3/4* Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan closed the show by previewing the card for Saturday Night's Main Event.

Thnikkaman	Posted on 03/28/08 at 01:38:24 nice to see the good Friar getting a win on Raw ;) looking forward to more (of this circuit that is)
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/29/08 at 13:41:48 Saturday Night's Main Event September 25th, 1993 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a highlights package documenting the feud between Crush and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Luger knocked out Crush backstage at the King of the Ring, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament. However, Crush returned at SummerSlam and exposed Luger's cheating during The Narcissist's WWF Title match with Bret Hart, just when Luger thought he had captured the championship. Crush defeated Lex Luger when Lex Luger passed out in the Cranium Crunch in 0:09:41. Rating: *** 1/4 Crush finally extracted revenge on The Narcissist, forcing him to pass out in the head vice. Crush refused to release the hold after the bell, but eventually let go of Luger after several officials entered the ring. Crush threw Luger over the top rope as the crowd gave him a standing ovation. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Tatanka about the big tag team main event tonight where the Native American will team with the Big Boss Man to face Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon. Suddenly, Tatanka was jumped from behind by the returning "Terrific" Terry Taylor, who went after Tatanka's left knee. Taylor took out Tatanka's knee by ramming an equipment box into it and drove his knee repeatedly into a metal door. The crazed Taylor was finally dragged away by officials and road agents, but the damage had been done. When the show returned from commercial, Tatanka was shown being checked over by medical staff. One doctor ruled Tatanka out from competing tonight, as the damage done to his knee was too severe. "Mean" Gene Okerlund conducted an in-ring interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Hart addressed the evil trio of Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna and the Great Muta, saying that any attempts to end his career will fail as he's going to be around for a long time to come! Savage then challenged Yokozuna and Muta to face him and the Hitman in a tag team match. Jim Ross revealed that WWF President Jack Tunney was searching desperately for a suitable replacement for Tatanka in the tag team main event. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated Barry Hardy and Duane Gill when Fatu pinned B. Hardy with the Flying Bodypress in 0:02:50. Fatu suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 4 months. Rating: * A video package was shown relaying the history between Mr. Perfect and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. After a string of spirit-crushing defeats, Mr. Perfect rejected DiBiase's insulting offer to work for him as a custodian. Perfect and DiBiase clashed at SummerSlam, with DiBiase's new bodyguard "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham costing Perfect the bout. Mr. Perfect made his way out for the match, but The Headshrinkers were still in the ring and refused to leave. Perfect got in their faces, but Fatu and Samu attacked him and laid him out with the flying bodypress! Ted DiBiase then made his entrance and handed a wad of cash over to Afa for the Headshrinkers' dirty work, with Afa eating the money thinking it was food. DiBiase demanded that the bell sound to start his match with the beaten down Perfect. The Widowmaker intimidated referee Joey Marella into starting the contest. Mr. Perfect pinned Ted DiBiase with the Perfect Plex in 0:10:02. Rating: * 3/4 Despite the Headshrinkers' vicious pre-match attack, Mr. Perfect showed incredible heart to fight back and hold his own in this encounter. The fight spilled to the floor, but when The Widowmaker tried to get involved, referee Joey Marella sent him to the back!! Perfect took the win by escaping the Million Dollar Dream and pinning DiBiase with the Perfect Plex. Jim Ross announced that WrestleMania X will take place right here in Madison Square Garden on March 20th, 1994 - an event that is ten years in the making!! Backstage, Sean Mooney tried to grab a word with Mr. Perfect regarding his win over Ted DiBiase. However, Perfect was blindsided by The Widowmaker and laid out with a stiff lariat! Tito Santana was announced as Tatanka's replacement in the main event. It's Santana and Big Boss Man vs. Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon and remember, if the Beast from the East is pinned, then the winner of the fall gets a shot at Bigelow's Intercontinental Title! Big Boss Man and Tito Santana defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon when Boss Man defeated Ramon by disqualification in 0:12:28. Rating: * 1/2 This was a great feature bout, worthy of top billing on the return of Saturday Night's Main Event, but was marred by a cheap finish. After the Big Boss Man nailed Bam Bam Bigelow with the Boss Man Slam and sent him out of the ring, Razor Ramon beat the Boss Man down and set him up for the Razor's Edge. However, an embarrassed and frustrated Beast from the East returned to the ring with his title belt and nailed Boss Man with it! The referee had no option to call for the bell, while a miffed Bad Guy looked on in disbelief! Tito Santana helped the woozy Big Boss Man to the back, while Bam Bam Bigelow worked the crowd. Razor Ramon got in Bigelow's face about the finish of the match, but Bigelow was dismissive of Ramon and pie-faced him!! The Beast from the East climbed the turnbuckles and showed off his title, but Ramon took him down with the Razor's Edge to a massive crowd pop!! Ramon saw the championship belt on the mat and then went for a cover on Bigelow. The Bad Guy demanded that the official count. Earl Hebner did as he was told and recorded a three count! Ramon picked up the Intercontinental Title as the fans chanted, "Razor!" Ramon threw the belt down on Bigelow's fallen carcass and said that he'd see him real soon as the show drew to a close. Circuit information: What a wild and crazy night on Saturday Night's Main Event!!! In the main event of the show, the team of Big Boss Man and Tito Santana were victorious, albeit by disqualification, over the team of Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon. However, that doesn't tell half the story of the events surrounding this match-up. First of all, Tatanka, who was originally scheduled to be part of the bout, was taken out and injured backstage by the returning "Terrific" Terry Taylor. Taylor tore his left ACL in a match with Tatanka back on the February 1st edition of Monday Night RAW, forcing the Terrific One to miss WrestleMania and also the entire summer during his rehabilitation. Taylor targeted Tatanka's knee in his vicious attack, ruling Tatanka out of this evening's feature bout and costing him the chance at another crack at the Intercontinental Title. Bam Bam Bigelow caused himself and Razor Ramon to be disqualified when he attacked the Big Boss Man with the IC Title belt, just when Ramon had the Boss Man set up for the Razor's Edge. Ramon was upset with Bigelow's actions as the Bad Guy appeared to have the match in control. The Beast from the East shoved Ramon away after the contest, so Razor responded by taking Bigelow down with a Razor's Edge off the ropes to the joy of the crowd! Ramon then made the official count a three count on Bigelow afterwards, but what does this mean? The stipulation of the match stated that if Bigelow was pinned, then the winner of the fall gets a shot at Bigelow's Intercontinental Title. Surely Ramon's pin on Bigelow wasn't an official one?? Mr. Perfect gained a measure of revenge on Ted DiBiase tonight and avenged his SummerSlam loss with a win in an outstanding match this evening, despite a brutal pre-match beating from The Headshrinkers. However, Perfect was floored after the contest by that other thorn in his side, the intimidating Widowmaker! Crush sent the fans home happy tonight when he defeated King of the Ring Lex Luger. The Narcissist stopped responding to the official after Crush applied the Cranium Crunch. This defeat caps off a miserable few weeks for Luger, who was unsuccessful in dethroning WWF Champion Bret Hart at SummerSlam. Speaking of The Hitman, he and Macho Man Randy Savage have challenged Mr. Fuji's devious duo of Yokozuna and the Great Muta. We await their response, but in the time being Muta will make his WWF debut this week on Monday Night RAW.
Snabbit888	Posted on 03/30/08 at 01:11:01 I really like what you're doing with this circuit. I often want to start a circuit around this time frame (starting with the beginning of RAW seems to be a popular place to begin) but I don't have the patience. Your storylines are simple but effective, and they have all been progressing nicely. Though shouldn't Luger be bodyslamming Yokozuna on an aircraft carrier by now?
SolomattGrundy	Posted on 03/30/08 at 17:31:50 I've been reading this circuit for quite some time but haven't had a chance to set aside a bit of time to give some feedback, until now: Matt's Random Thoughts: Okay, I marked out for the Cranium Crunch and that puts Luger out! The Narcissist was one of the only two times I was entertained by Luger(the other time was his WCW run from 1995-1997, up until he lost the title to Hogan five days after winning it and never recovered). So much better than "Born In the USA" Lex Luger. Tatanka gets jumped by that hooligan Terry Taylor. The bastard! I hope Tatanka scalps him. Muta and Yokozuna, thats a good tag team, especially under the management of Mr. Fuji. Savage and Hart are also a good team but I'm hoping for a Savage heel turn and him being the one to beat Hart for the title, but that's just me. SQUASH! Bad injury for Fatu though. And DiBiase buys the services of the Headshrinkers so they can punk Perfect. I snickered at Afa eating the money. Woo, despite being pummeled by the Headshrinkers, Mr. Perfect shows why he is Perfect, putting down DiBiase with the Perfect Plex. Good job on that and I'm hoping for a Perfect title program down the line, eventually. Oh wait, poor Perfect, not a good night for him at all, he gets punked out by the Widowmaker. Tito Santana is the mystery partner. That's just excellent, I might be the only one, but I was hoping for Tito to score the pin and go on to become the three time Intercontinental Champion. Sadly was not to be as Boss Man gets hammered by the title belt for the DQ and Bam Bam saves the title. Razor is not too happy and he attacks Bigelow. Mark out moment, as Razor hits his move and scores an unofficial pin. Could that be a sign of things to come? We'll find out all too soon. An excellent show, especially the main event.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/31/08 at 18:37:43 Monday Night RAW September 27th, 1993 Coliseum, New Haven, CT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with highlights from this past weekend's Saturday Night's Main Event television spectacular. Footage was then shown of the Great Muta's shocking first appearance in the WWF, where he helped Yokozuna beat down Bret Hart and Randy Savage two weeks ago. Muta makes his in ring appearance tonight! Great Muta pinned Mike Bucci after the Moonsault Press in 0:05:22. Rating: The Great Muta destroyed Mike Bucci with some unique offence, much to the delight of his manager Mr. Fuji. Muta unloaded with stiff kicks, a handspring elbow, a dragon suplex and then he pinned Bucci with a perfect moonsault. After the match, Mr. Fuji took the mic and on behalf of the Great Muta and Yokozuna, accepted the challenge from WWF Champion Bret Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage. Fuji said that next week on Monday Night RAW, Hart and Savage would be crushed. Adam Bomb pinned Skull Von Krush after a flying lariat in 0:04:57. Rating: 3/4 Sean Mooney had an update on Tatanka's condition after the Native American was brutalised by Terry Taylor on Saturday Night's Main Event. Mooney revealed that Tatanka's left was knee was badly swollen and he would be out of action for several weeks. Mr. Perfect was interviewed backstage by Lord Alfred Hayes. Perfect was favouring his neck, selling the lariat he suffered from the Widowmaker at the weekend. Perfect challenged the Widowmaker to a match as soon as possible. Kamala pinned Who with the Ugandan Splash in 0:03:07. Rating: -3/4* Highlights from the Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon vs. Tito Santana and Big Boss Man match on Saturday Night's Main Event were shown, followed by Ramon pinning Bigelow after the bout after hitting the Razor's Edge. Bobby Heenan was adamant that there was no way that Ramon could be named number one contender to the Intercontinental Title, as the pinfall did not occur during the match. Playing devil's advocate, Vince McMahon stated that the stipulation was that if Bigelow was pinned, then whomever scored the pinfall would get a title shot - there was no requirement that the fall had to be recorded during the bout. Max Moon pinned Skinner after a gutwrench suplex in 0:08:09. Rating: * 1/2 (TNT no-showed.) Vince McMahon closed the show by hyping up next week's tag team match pitting WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage against Yokozuna and the Great Muta, managed by Mr. Fuji. McMahon added that this coming weekend on Superstars, The Undertaker will be in action against IRS.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/06/08 at 16:05:57 WWF Superstars October 2nd, 1993 Grand Rapids, Michigan Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Lightning Kid pinned L.A. Gore with the Lightning Bolt in 0:05:08. Rating: 1/2* Gene Okerlund conducted an in-ring interview with WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow. Okerlund brought up Razor Ramon's pinfall on Bigelow last weekend, which angered Bigelow. The Beast from the East said that the pin didn't count as it wasn't recorded in an official match. Bigelow added that Ramon was a coward for attacking him from behind and vehemently stated that the Bad Guy would never receive a shot at the Intercontinental Title. That brought Razor Ramon out to the ring, who received a nice ovation from the crowd. Ramon challenged Bigelow to a non-title match next week on Superstars, so he could have the chance to pin Bigelow "officially" and earn a title shot. Bigelow was hesitant, but quickly accepted when Okerlund asked him if he was scared. Ramon said he'd see him next week and went to leave, but then the Beast from the East took a swing at Ramon with his title belt! Ramon managed to duck the blow and took Bigelow down in a small package! Gene Okerlund hit the deck and slapped the mat three times as the crowd went crazy!! Ramon left the ring laughing, claiming that the same thing would happen next week, as an angry Bigelow confronted Mean Gene. Okerlund quickly scurried out of the ring as a seething Bigelow just about had a fit in the ring! Irwin R. Schyster defeated The Undertaker by countout in 0:09:54. Rating: * 1/2 [Paul Bearer interfered against Irwin R. Schyster.] Once again, The Birdman made an appearance during an Undertaker match as he continues to stalk the Deadman. The Birdman walked to the ringside area for a closer look, but when IRS clotheslined 'Taker over the top rope, the Phenom landed on his feet, turned and grabbed the Birdman by the throat!! The Undertaker backed The Birdman up the aisle, all the while keeping a tight grip around the Birdman's neck. 'Taker was subsequently counted out, but the Deadman didn't seem to care. Just then, a flock of birds flew down from the arena roof and attacked The Undertaker, enabling the Birdman to escape. Papa Shango pinned Phil Apollo with the Voodoo Slam in 0:05:16. Phil Apollo suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: 1/2* [Madusa interfered against Phil Apollo.] Before the match, Jacques took the mike and declared that he was dedicating his match against Billy Gunn to his partner Pierre, who is currently out injured with a back injury. Jacques wished Pierre a speedy recovery. Quebecer Jacques defeated Billy Gunn when Billy Gunn passed out in the Quebec Crab in 0:12:33. Rating: *** [Jimmy Hart interfered against Billy Gunn.] The finish of this match came when Bart Gunn argued with the official about Jimmy Hart's constant interference. This gave Hart the opportunity to slide his megaphone in to Jacques, who drilled Billy Gunn with it and locked the Quebec Crab on the unconscious Billy. Bart Gunn checked on his tag team partner after the contest, while Jacques celebrated his tainted win with Jimmy Hart. Circuit information: The stage is set for next week's show - Bam Bam Bigelow will go one on one with Razor Ramon in a non-title match and if Ramon can win, he will surely be considered the number one contender to the Beast from the East's Intercontinental Title. The psychological advantage rests with the Bad Guy, as he has recorded two unofficial pinfalls over Bigelow inside the past week. The Birdman continues to pursue The Undertaker, but nobody really understands why The Birdman is doing this. The Undertaker is growing ever more frustrated with The Birdman's presence at his matches. This coming week's edition of Monday Night RAW promises to be a big one as WWF Champion Bret Hart teams with Macho Man Randy Savage to battle the Great Muta and Yokozuna. Hart and Savage are hoping to avenge the brutal beating they suffered at the hands of the Japanese duo three weeks ago on RAW.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/10/08 at 21:44:07 Monday Night RAW October 4th, 1993 Coliseum, New Haven, CT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The commentary team opened the show by hyping tonight's massive tag team main event, which sees Mr. Fuji's evil henchmen Yokozuna and the Great Muta battle the duo of Macho Man Randy Savage and Bret "Hitman" Hart. Big Boss Man pinned Blake Beverly after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:07:18. Rating: Blake Beverly was out to avenge his brother Beau's loss to the Big Boss Man three weeks ago. However, the Boss Man came out on top again when he intercepted The Genius' attempt at sliding the nightstick to Blake. Boss Man cracked Blake over the head with his nightstick and the three count was academic. Crush made Tahitian Savage submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:04:37. Rating: 3/4 "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase cut a promo in which he addressed Mr. Perfect's challenge to his bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham. DiBiase said that he pays The Widowmaker to watch his back - not to wrestle - so Perfect could forget meeting him one-on-one in the ring. Bret Hart and Randy Savage defeated Great Muta and Yokozuna when Savage defeated Yokozuna by disqualification in 0:17:40. Bret Hart suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: *** [Two mystery assailants interfered against Bret Hart.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bret Hart.] The team of Bret Hart and Randy Savage seemed to have this match-up firmly in control, as Savage dropped Yokozuna after a third flying axhandle while the Hitman tussled with the Great Muta at ringside. The Macho Man signalled for the flying elbow and climbed to the top rope, but just then two burly men dressed in Arab gear made their way down to ringside and attacked Bret Hart. The two men appeared to be twins and each looked to weigh well over 300 pounds. As the official threw the match out, Savage flew off the top rope and dropped an axhandle on one of the twins at ringside. The four-on-two odds were too great for the Hitman and Randy Savage though and they were eventually beaten down. Yokozuna flattened Bret Hart with a gargantuan legdrop while Muta floored Savage with a nasty spinning kick to the head. Vince McMahon implored somebody to get down to the ring and help. Mr. Fuji, who seemed to be giving out orders to the twins, instructed each man to climb the ropes. One of the twins connected with a moonsault on the Hitman, while the other crushed the back of Savage's head with a diving legdrop. The crowd cheered as the Big Boss Man and Crush hit the ring, armed with a nightstick and a steel chair respectively. Boss Man and Crush cleared the ring of Fuji and his stable, before checking on the condition of Hart and Savage. Paramedics came out to treat the Hitman and the Macho Man, while Fuji laughed evilly at the damage he and his charges had done as the show went off air. Circuit information: Mr. Fuji continues to bring in his hired guns in his quest to end the career of WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. After the show, Fuji revealed that his newest henchmen are identical twins known as The Arabian Butchers, Manuel and Victor. Fuji chillingly described their reputation as two of the most sadistic and bloodthirsty hardcore wrestlers in history. We have no reason to dispute Fuji's claims after the brutal attack they helped carry out on Bret Hart and Randy Savage this evening. Fuji also warned that Crush and the Big Boss Man made a big mistake sticking their noses in Fuji's business tonight and said they would pay dearly for their foolish actions. Bret Hart and Randy Savage were checked over by doctors backstage after the show. The Hitman was diagnosed with a badly bruised back and will be out of action for several weeks. Savage is seriously shaken up after the beating but will not miss significant ring time. We are thankful that Crush and Big Boss Man came out when they did, otherwise the damage could have been much, much worse. We hope you'll join us this weekend for another action-packed hour of WWF Superstars, where Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers will be in action, plus Bam Bam Bigelow faces Razor Ramon in a bout where if Ramon wins, he'll get a shot at Bigelow's Intercontinental Title! Till then, so long everybody!!
Snabbit888	Posted on 04/11/08 at 03:10:39 Arabian Butchers = Headhunters?
Thnikkaman	Posted on 04/11/08 at 03:44:10 good call Snabbs ... I was thinking a re-worked Public Enemy myself, but the Headhunters are way more likely at least it wasn't Muhammad Hassan and Daivari ... although I would have marked out for that ;)

rey619	Posted on 04/11/08 at 12:47:20 I'm not usually into classic promotions, but this one is an exception. Mostly because it's more than just results (there are enough of these circuits lying around), and because it's easy to read and to follow. I also like that you repackage someone (the Arabian Butchers), so that history doesn't mimick itself 100%.
Vertigo	Posted on 04/11/08 at 18:10:16 :) My favorite! Never liked the Head Hunters much... but could be just because they've never been anywhere very long for me to like them. Maybe you can make them interesting for me... Still loving The Birdman stuff.
rey619	Posted on 04/12/08 at 10:28:54 Yeah, the Birdman angle is great. I wonder where you're going with it. Probably a match at Survivor Series. I wonder how they got the birds to attack Undertaker, though I'm not debating realism in a fantasy fed ;D
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/12/08 at 18:53:50 WWF Superstars October 9th, 1993 Grand Rapids, Michigan Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with footage of Owen Hart's victory over Doink three weeks ago. Comments aired from Doink in which he branded that defeat a "fluke" and vowed to defeat Owen tonight. Doink the Clown pinned Owen Hart via pinfall in 0:08:12. Rating: *** 1/2 Doink scored a cheap victory over Owen Hart here when he went for a pin and put his feet on the ropes, preventing Owen from kicking out. The evil clown had a good laugh about it afterward, before being chased to the back by Owen. Shawn Michaels pinned Mike Bell after a small package in 0:04:53. Rating: * 3/4 After the match, Shawn Michaels added insult to injury by decking Mike Bell with a superkick. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Mark Thomas and Tony Roy when S. Steiner pinned T. Roy after a belly-to-back suplex in 0:02:19. Rating: * 1/2 As The Steiners quickly squashed their opponents, The Quebecers and Jimmy Hart were shown watching proceedings on a backstage monitor. Pierre's left knee was heavily strapped. Footage was shown of Razor Ramon's two "unofficial" pinfall victories over Bam Bam Bigelow in recent weeks. Comments were shown from both men, in which Bigelow said that Ramon can't beat him in a straight-up wrestling match while The Bad Guy said that when he pins Bigelow tonight, it will be official. Razor Ramon pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a backslide in 0:13:30. Rating: *** 1/2 This was a tremendous back-and-forth encounter and the fans were firmly in the corner of the Bad Guy. The finish came when Razor Ramon trapped Bam Bam Bigelow in a backslide and he scored the three count. After the match, Razor Ramon, the new number one contender to the Intercontinental Title, celebrated his victory, while Bam Bam Bigelow swiped his title belt and stormed to the back. Circuit information: Congratulations to Razor Ramon, who defeated Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow tonight in a non-title match to earn a shot at the Beast from the East's championship. Ramon has been complaining about a lack of competition for months and is in a rich vein of form, so you can be sure that he is determined to capture the Intercontinental Title from Bigelow. I wouldn't bet against it happening. Next week on Monday Night RAW, we'll bring you a very special interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. In addition to that, "Terrific" Terry Taylor, fresh off his shocking return at Saturday Night's Main Event, will wrestle for the first time since February. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/13/08 at 13:06:47 Monday Night RAW October 11th, 1993 Coliseum, New Haven, CT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with footage from Saturday Night's Main Event just over two weeks ago, where "Terrific" Terry Taylor returned from a severe knee injury and attacked Tatanka backstage, ruling Tatanka out of his scheduled bout that night. Taylor makes his in-ring return tonight on Monday Night RAW. Terry Taylor pinned Rich Myers after a German suplex in 0:05:27. Rating: 1/4* Terry Taylor looked better than ever this evening and displayed a ruthless streak as he took poor Rich Myers apart. After the match, Bobby Heenan interviewed Taylor, who was still seething about the torn ACL he suffered in a bout with Tatanka at the start of February. Taylor bitterly lambasted the Native American for forcing him to miss eight months of action, including a spot on the card at WrestleMania. As Taylor's tirade continued, Tatanka made his way out and attacked Taylor! The two men brawled around ringside, until Taylor kicked Tatanka in the same knee he attacked on Saturday Night's Main Event. Tatanka collapsed to the floor in agony and Taylor put the boots to him until the Terrific One was dragged away by officials! Virgil pinned Repo Man after a belly-to-belly suplex in 0:06:41. Rating: 1/4 Gene Okerlund conducted a sit-down interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Okerlund said that Hart had won the WWF Championship from Ric Flair in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on October 12th of last year, meaning that the Hitman had held the title for one year. Okerlund congratulated the Hitman on his lengthy reign, but Hart was in no mood to celebrate. Hart addressed the horrific beating he and Macho Man Randy Savage endured last week on Monday Night RAW at the hands of Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers, while footage rolled of the incident. Hart suffered an injured back in the attack. The Hitman said that Mr. Fuji could bring in all the cronies he wants, but he'll never be successful in ending the Hitman's career. Hart said that when he returns to full fitness, there will be hell to pay for Fuji and his lackeys! Vince McMahon announced that the Arabian Butchers would make their WWF in-ring debut this weekend on WWF Superstars. Marty Jannetty pinned Duane Gill after a superkick in 0:03:49. Rating: 1/4 Footage was shown from Saturday Night's Main Event, where Mr. Perfect was beaten up by The Headshrinkers prior to his one-on-one bout with Ted DiBiase. Perfect is out for revenge this evening as he faces Samu in a singles match. Mr. Perfect pinned Samu with the Perfect Plex in 0:08:01. Rating: ** 1/2 [Afa interfered against Mr. Perfect.] After the match, Fatu tried to attack Mr. Perfect, but Perfect threw Fatu into Afa and both men went crashing to the arena floor. Perfect then took the mic and said that he found it very amusing that "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham hides behind the Million Dollar Man, but demanded that Windham find some guts and face him in the ring. An incensed Widowmaker emerged from the back, with Ted DiBiase and Sensational Sherri struggling to hold him back. Perfect threw down the mic and challenged Windham to get in the ring as Monday Night RAW drew to a close! Circuit information: The bitterness between Mr. Perfect and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham, has been brewing for weeks, born out of the feud between Perfect and DiBiase. Windham cost Perfect his match with DiBiase at SummerSlam and then Windham floored Perfect with a vicious lariat backstage at Saturday Night's Main Event. Two weeks ago, Perfect challenged Windham to a match, but DiBiase vetoed this, claiming that he doesn't pay The Widowmaker to wrestle. However, it is clear from tonight's events that Windham is more than happy to face off with Perfect. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks. "Terrific" Terry Taylor returned to the ring tonight after an eight month absence, a lay-off Taylor blames Tatanka for and he is determined to make the Native American pay. Join us this weekend for Superstars where in addition to the debut of Manuel and Victor, The Arabian Butchers, The Undertaker will be in singles action and Quebecers Jacques will square off against Bart Gunn in a one-on-one encounter! Till then, so long everybody!
Thnikkaman	Posted on 04/14/08 at 02:35:11 as much as I love this circuit (and I LOVE this circuit), I do miss the Owen Hart/Marty Jannetty tag team. I was hoping for some title contention for them. Ah well ... carry on King, you are doing a great job
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/14/08 at 20:46:10 WWF Superstars October 16th, 1993 Memorial Auditorium, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with footage from two weeks ago where Quebecer Jacques defeated Billy Gunn thanks to a big assist from Jimmy Hart. Jacques faces Billy's tag team partner Bart tonight on Superstars. Before the match, Jacques once again dedicated this match to his injured tag team partner Pierre, who is still recuperating from a back injury. Quebecer Jacques defeated Bart Gunn by disqualification in 0:09:13. Rating: ** 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Bart Gunn.] Jimmy Hart slid his megaphone into the ring for Jacques to use, but Bart Gunn intercepted it and clocked Jacques. The referee disqualified Bart immediately. Quebecer Pierre ran down to the ring and jumped Bart and The Quebecers went to work. Billy Gunn then sprinted down to the ring and swiped the megaphone, running the Quebecers off. Bob Backlund made Chris Duffy submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:03:18. Rating: * (Tito Santana no-showed.) It was announced that on next week's edition of WWF Superstars, Owen Hart and Doink the Clown would meet in a best two out of three falls match. Each man has scored a victory over the other in recent weeks, so this will be the rubber match between the two. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Friar Ferguson and Bushwhacker Butch when Manuel pinned Butch after the Arabian Meat Cleaver in 0:04:07. Rating: ** 1/4 (Bushwhacker Luke no-showed.) The Arabian Butchers scored the win in their WWF in-ring debut when one of the twins dropped an elbow off the middle rope as the other held Butch over his knee. During the match, Crush and the Big Boss Man cut an insert promo in which they challenged the Butchers to a tag team match for this week on Monday Night RAW. Vince McMahon said that he had received word from WWF President Jack Tunney's office that as a result of his win over Bam Bam Bigelow last week, Razor Ramon had been named the number one contender to the Intercontinental Title. McMahon added that he would receive his title match in two weeks' time on Superstars! The Undertaker pinned The Predator with the Tombstone in 0:03:18. Rating: * 1/4 Just after The Undertaker put the Predator away with the Tombstone, several birds swooped down from the arena ceiling and attacked Paul Bearer, striking at his head and shoulders with their wings and beaks. The birds tore at Bearer's flesh with their sharp beaks as The Undertaker left the ring to come to his manager's aid. Suddenly, a bird call was heard somewhere in the arena. The birds instantly stopped attacking and flew into the crowd, landing on the person of The Birdman. As the show ended, The Birdman laughed evilly at The Undertaker, who was caught in two minds - go after the Birdman, or tend to his manager who lay on the floor bleeding from the scratches on his face. Circuit information: The situation between The Undertaker and The Birdman escalated tonight as The Birdman sent his birds to attack the Deadman's manager, Paul Bearer. We are still none the wiser as to why on earth The Birdman is targeting the Man from the Darkside, but you can be sure that The Undertaker is keen to make the bizarre Birdman rest in peace. We can exclusively reveal that Mr. Fuji has accepted the challenge from Crush and the Big Boss Man on behalf of the Arabian Butchers. You will see this match live on Monday Night RAW this coming week from the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. Make sure you tune in!
The TNM Members Champ	Posted on 04/14/08 at 23:18:33 Got to give you some major props on the handling of Koko B. Ware and his transformation to The Birdman. It fits in perfectly with that timeframe. It also makes use of the roster you started with instead of needing to get a free agent to fill the role. If Koko B. Ware is a reader of this forum, I'm sure he wishes you were the booker back then. :-)
Grappler	Posted on 04/15/08 at 05:14:33 I love, love, LOVE this circuit. ;D I check in just about every day to see if something has been added. I have noticed the lack of a couple of workers that were around in 1993. Shawn Michaels has been in a few matches and Diesel hasn't been around at all. Unless I'm mistaken, didn't the "Dudes with Attitudes" have a tag team title run during the summer of '93? I'd love to see what you can do with this controversial pair. Anyway, keep up the awesome work.

Grappler	Posted on 04/16/08 at 02:47:18 After consulting my trusty Pro Wrestling Illustrated Almanac I see that I was one year off on Dudes title run. That was the Summer of 1994. My bad. Good news about the HBK singles push, I can't wait to see what you have in store.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/18/08 at 21:59:29 Monday Night RAW October 18th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Big Boss Man and Crush defeated The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when Boss Man defeated Victor by disqualification in 0:11:41. Rating: [Mr. Fuji interfered against Crush.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Big Boss Man.] Mr. Fuji's Arabian Butchers were disqualified in this bout when Fuji cracked the Big Boss Man across the back with the Japanese flagpole as the former corrections officer was bouncing off the ropes. Yokozuna and Great Muta came out to get involved, but Randy Savage and Bret Hart arrived on the scene in a flash and a huge eight man brawl ensued! Somewhere in the melee, Muta spewed green mist into the Boss Man's eyes, blinding him. It took an army of officials and road agents almost the entire duration of the commercial break to restore order. Tito Santana pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Mexican Hammer in 0:06:16. Rating: 3/4 Backstage, the Big Boss Man was in agony as doctors attempted to wash the green mist out of his eyes. He was surrounded by Bret Hart, Randy Savage and Crush, who were all swearing to get revenge on Mr. Fuji and his evil henchmen. Adam Bomb pinned Bushwhacker Luke after a lariat in 0:01:15. Rating: * 1/2 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Bushwhacker Luke.] "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase cut a promo on Mr. Perfect, saying that he talked to "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and has agreed to let him wrestle. DiBiase said that he knows that Perfect wants to get his hands on the Widowmaker, but what Perfect doesn't know is that Windham is just as eager to tear Perfect limb from limb. DiBiase added that he has arranged a warm-up match for The Widowmaker on next week's show, just so Perfect can see what he is getting himself in to. Skinner pinned Glen Ruth with the Gatorbreaker in 0:02:26. Rating: ** 1/2 Circuit information: Breaking news from Titan Towers - WWF President Jack Tunney has a huge announcement to make next week on Monday Night RAW! Rumour has it that it will have something to do with the main event of Survivor Series, which is comin' atcha on Thanksgiving Eve, live on pay-per-view from the Boston Garden! Tune in this week to WWF Superstars, where Owen Hart faces Doink the Clown in a 2/3 Falls Match, The Birdman will be in action and in a tag team match, the exciting duo of Max Moon and the Lightning Kid will face The Beverly Brothers!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/20/08 at 20:59:13 WWF Superstars October 23rd, 1993 Memorial Auditorium, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with highlights of Owen Hart and Doink's previous two singles encounters. Owen won the first with a small package, while Doink snatched a sneaky victory in the following match with his feet on the ropes. Comments aired from the two competitors before their 2/3 Falls decider. Doink put Owen Hart off guard before the match even started by tripping Owen with trip wire as he made his entrance! Doink took advantage, attacking Owen from behind, as the official signalled the start of the contest! Two-out-of-three-Falls Match: Owen Hart beat Doink the Clown 2 falls to 0: x O. Hart beat Doink via the Rocket Launcher in 0:06:50 x O. Hart beat Doink via the Sharpshooter in 0:10:22 Rating: *** 1/2 A determined Owen Hart swept past Doink the Clown with an irresistible display, winning the first fall with the Rocket Launcher and then making the evil clown submit to his brother's favourite hold, the Sharpshooter. After the match, Shawn Michaels appeared on the video wall and offered mock applause for Owen Hart's performance. The Heartbreak Kid then challenged Owen to a match. Needless to say, Owen accepted. Footage was shown from last week's show where The Birdman sent his avian friends to attack Paul Bearer. WWF President Jack Tunney then made an announcement banning The Birdman from bringing any more of his birds to the arena. Tunney said that if Birdman broke this rule then he would have no option but to suspend the Birdman indefinitely. Vince McMahon revealed that The Undertaker was not here tonight as he was tending to his injured manager. The Birdman pinned Kamala after a reverse neckbreaker in 0:07:19. Rating: * The Quebecers, along with Jimmy Hart, made their way out to the interview podium where they were met by Gene Okerlund. Jacques and Pierre made it crystal clear that they were targeting the Steiner Brothers and the WWF Tag Team Titles. Okerlund asked them if they were getting ahead of themselves just a little bit, as they had only been in the WWF for five minutes! Jimmy Hart returned fire, challenging the Steiners to a non-title match when Pierre is fully healed from his knee injury, so that his Quebecers can prove who the best team around is. Comments aired from WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon, hyping up next week's title match on Superstars. Earthquake pinned T.L. Hopper with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:06:20. Rating: * 1/2 This defeat did not sit well with T.L. Hopper, who floored Earthquake after the match with a chop block. The wrestling plumber then drove his plunger repeatedly into Earthquake's throat! Earthquake was helped to the back by the referee and was bleeding from the mouth. Max Moon and The Lightning Kid defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Kid defeated Blake by disqualification in 0:08:22. Rating: ** [The Genius interfered against Max Moon.] [The Genius interfered against The Lightning Kid.] The Beverly Brothers were disqualified here when The Genius knocked the Lightning Kid off the top rope when he hit him with his scroll. Beau and Blake beat down the Kid and Max Moon afterwards and left to a chorus of boos. Circuit information: It was the night of sore losers here tonight on Superstars, as The Beverly Brothers destroyed The Lightning Kid and Max Moon after their tag team match. Also, T.L. Hopper attacked Earthquake and injured the big 450 pounder's throat with his plunger, Betsy. You can bet there will be repercussions from these events that went down tonight. Kudos to WWF President Jack Tunney for deciding to ban The Birdman's birds from WWF arenas from now on. Shawn Michaels challenged Owen Hart to a match after Owen had defeated Doink in two straight falls tonight. The thought of the former Intercontinental Champion locking horns with the Rocket is a mouth-watering prospect for WWF fans everywhere. The Quebecers have set their sights on the Tag Team Titles, currently in the possession of the Steiner Brothers. We await the Steiners' thoughts on this. Next week on Superstars, Bam Bam Bigelow will defend the Intercontinental Title against Razor Ramon. But this coming week on Monday Night RAW, Jack Tunney will make a huge announcement regarding the Survivor Series and "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham makes his WWF in-ring debut! See you then!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/21/08 at 21:33:07 Monday Night RAW October 25th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a shot of esteemed WWF President Jack Tunney seated at his desk in his office. Tunney said that with just under a month to go until the Survivor Series, he was going to announce the main event of the pay-per-view tonight. It will be Mr. Fuji's Foreign Fanatics - Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers - squaring off against the team of WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and the Big Boss Man in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match! Tunney added that after last week's brawl between these two warring factions in which the Boss Man was misted by Muta, the WWF President was booking a match between Muta and Boss Man for next week's show! Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan discussed that monster announcement from Jack Tunney. Heenan predicted that Bret Hart and his buddies would be eliminated permanently at the Survivor Series. Irwin R. Schyster made Jason Knight submit to the Penalty in 0:03:45. Rating: * 1/4 Before the next match, Vince McMahon revealed that a week on Saturday on WWF Superstars, Shawn Michaels will go one on one with Owen Hart. Heenan said that the Haertbreak Kid was out to make an impact at the expense of one of the most promising and exciting grapplers on the roster. Shawn Michaels pinned P.J. Walker after a flying elbowdrop in 0:04:56. Rating: ** 1/4 A video package was shown hyping up the WWF Intercontinental Title Match between champion Bam Bam Bigelow and challenger Razor Ramon coming up this weekend on Superstars. Barry Windham made The White Shadow submit to the Iron Claw in 0:03:10. Rating: * 1/2 "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham destroyed the White Shadow in his WWF in-ring debut, much to the delight of Ted DiBiase and Sensational Sherri who watched on at ringside. Windham drilled the Shadow with a superplex, floored him with a vicious lariat and then applied that devastating clawhold with his black gloved hand, forcing the submission. After that match, Ted DiBiase took the mic and wondered whether Mr. Perfect still wanted to lock up with the Widowmaker after witnessing this complete annihilation! Friar Ferguson defeated The Berzerker by countout in 0:06:07. The Berzerker suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 7 months. Rating: * The main event of tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW ended abruptly after The Berzerker took an avalanche in the corner from Friar Ferguson. The Berzerker was evidently hurt and he immediately rolled to the floor, allowing himself to be counted out. Ferguson looked on concerned as the Berzerker was helped to the back. Circuit information: A sad end to tonight's show as The Berzerker suffered a severe neck injury. The Berzerker was taken to a local medical facility after the show, where he underwent a CAT scan and it was revealed that he had suffered three cracks in his vertebrae, necessitating surgery. Berzerker will undergo neck surgery within the next week and is expected to be out of action until mid-1994. The main event of the 1993 Survivor Series is official - WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and the Big Boss Man vs. Mr. Fuji's mercenaries of Yokozuna, Great Muta and Manuel and Victor, the Arabian Butchers. There are a lot of combustible elements in this contest and it will undoubtedly be a war of attrition. We'll get a preview of this battle on next week's show as the Boss Man takes on the Great Muta. The Widowmaker made his WWF in-ring debut tonight and looked awesome. Mr. Perfect will have his work cut out for him when these two men inevitably meet. Join us this weekend on WWF Superstars, when Razor Ramon finally gets his shot at Bam Bam Bigelow's Intercontinental Title! See you on Saturday night!!
Grappler	Posted on 04/22/08 at 03:27:30 Three big matches coming up that I can't wait to see. Razor and Bam Bam for the IC strap should be a hard hitting match. Hope the Bad Guy comes out on top. Windham and Hennig should have some serious old school mojo working for it, though you know DiBiase and Sherri won't keep their noses out...unless you made it a cage match! There's an idea! And HBK and the Rocket could deliver the show stealing match of the night with their high octane moves. Gonna be good.
Thnikkaman	Posted on 04/22/08 at 03:31:50 I think this circuit should be considered for its own thread. It has a great following and is a great circuit that everyone seems to enjoy.
rey619	Posted on 04/22/08 at 08:09:49 It already has its own thread. Did you mean board? In that case, I wholeheartedly concur.
Matteus	Posted on 04/22/08 at 16:12:29 Absolutely! This is one of the most enjoyable circuits in recent memory! Keep it up!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/22/08 at 19:31:36 WWF Superstars October 30th, 1993 Memorial Auditorium, Worcester, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with comments from both champion and challenger in tonight's Intercontinental Title Match main event between Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Casey Cleric and Dan Dubiel when R. Steiner pinned D. Dubiel after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:07:27. Rating: 1/2 After the match, Scott Steiner took the mic and addressed the Quebecers' challenge on last week's show. Scott accepted the challenge of a non-title match with the stipulation that if Jacques and Pierre win, they'll receive a Tag Team Title shot. Rick said that would never happen and vowed to send the Quebecers running back north of the border. Typhoon pinned Louie Spicolli with the Big Splash in 0:03:35. Rating: 1/4 The Birdman was shown in a darkened location with a vulture perched on his shoulder. The Birdman cut a promo on the Undertaker, in which he said that the vultures were beginning to circle around the Deadman. He added that he would be there to pick the bones out of the Undertaker's career. Vince McMahon pondered that with Hallowe'en tomorrow, was there anybody in the WWF creepier than the Birdman?? Repo Man defeated Mike Bucci via pinfall in 0:02:46. Rating: 1/2 Sean Mooney conducted an interview with Mr. Perfect. Perfect said that he had seen The Widowmaker's debut on Monday Night RAW and added that while it was impressive, it wasn't perfect. Afterwards, Vince McMahon revealed that Ted DiBiase had set up a match between Barry Windham and Virgil for next week's show in an intriguing battle between his current and former bodyguards. Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon battled to a draw in 0:15:00. Rating: ** (Bam Bam Bigelow retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) After the time limit expired, a frustrated Razor Ramon begged the referee to continue the bout for five more minutes. The crowd even began chanting, "five more minutes!". Bam Bam Bigelow didn't want to hear it though, as he took his Intercontinental Title from the timekeeper's table and walked off to the back. Bigelow was booed out of the building, leaving the Bad Guy devastated. Circuit information: Bam Bam Bigelow is the luckiest man in the World Wrestling Federation tonight as he left the Memorial Auditorium still in possession of his Intercontinental Title by the skin of his teeth! The Bad Guy had the Beast from the East on the back foot for the majority of their encounter and looked a certainty to bag the championship when the time limit expired. Bigelow knew he had been in the fight of his life and wouldn't even entertain the idea of continuing the bout. It is a sense of "so near, yet so far" for Ramon, who is determined not to let this situation lie. The Steiners have accepted the challenge of the Quebecers to a non-title match when Pierre returns to full fitness. If The Quebecers can inflict the first defeat of the Steiner Brothers' WWF career, then they'll earn a tag team title shot. Easier said than done though, but Jimmy Hart will have them ready. Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where the main event will see the Great Muta battle the Big Boss Man! Also, the Smoking Gunns and "Terrific" Terry Taylor will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/23/08 at 19:42:37 Monday Night RAW November 1st, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with footage of the pier-six brawl two weeks ago involving Mr. Fuji's foreign legion and WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and the Big Boss Man. Great Muta blinded the Boss Man with that potent green mist during the melee, which lead to WWF President Jack Tunney booking a bout between the two for tonight on Monday Night RAW. Big Boss Man defeated Great Muta by disqualification in 0:10:03. Rating: ** 1/2 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Big Boss Man.] Big Boss Man looked to have this contest in control when he avoided Great Muta's moonsault, but as he signalled for the finish Mr. Fuji jumped onto the apron to cause a distraction. Boss Man took care of Fuji, but turned around just as Muta spat another mouthful of mist in his direction. Boss Man avoided the mist and the referee disqualified Muta. After the match, Mr. Fuji signalled to the back and the Arabian Butchers lumbered down to the ring, followed by Yokozuna. They started to do a number on the Boss Man until Randy Savage, Crush and Bret Hart hit the ring armed with steel chairs and ran the aggressors off. You can be sure that when these two teams meet at Survivor Series, all hell will break loose! Terry Taylor pinned Lance Cassidy with the Flying Forearm Smash in 0:03:57. Rating: 3/4* During the match, an insert promo from Terry Taylor aired in which he said that every day that he spent recovering from his torn ACL, he was thinking about doing damage to Tatanka. Doink the Clown pinned Duane Gill with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:04:57. Rating: ** 1/4 Vince McMahon announced that he had received word from Jack Tunney's office about another match signed for Survivor Series. It will see WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers teaming up with the Smoking Gunns to face The Quebecers and the Headshrinkers! Tunney, who knew about Fatu's back injury, added that if Fatu could not recover in time, then Jimmy Hart and Afa could find a suitable replacement. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated P.J. Walker and Tony DeVito when Bart Gunn pinned T. DeVito with the Revolver in 0:05:07. Rating: * 1/2 The show closed with a fired up Randy Savage challenging Yokozuna to a match on next week's show! Circuit information: Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna have accepted the challenge from "Macho Man" Randy Savage and that match will take place next week on Monday Night RAW! The feud between Fuji's mercenaries and Savage, Bret Hart, Crush and the Big Boss Man gets more and more violent with each passing week. It has already claimed one casualty in the Hitman, who is still suffering from a back injury. I feel that there could be more injuries on the horizon before the Thanksgiving Eve showdown! It will be a jam-packed show this weekend on Superstars as Owen Hart faces Shawn Michaels in a mouth-watering contest, the Lightning Kid and Max Moon face the Beverly Brothers in a return bout from three weeks ago and in addition to that, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham squares off against Virgil! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/25/08 at 19:23:13 WWF @ Indianapolis, IN - Market Square Arena November 5th, 1993 The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) when Victor pinned Butch after a power bomb in 0:08:30. Rating: Terry Taylor pinned Tito Santana after the Doctor Bomb in 0:10:55. Rating: * The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) and Samu defeated The Lightning Kid, Marty Jannetty and Max Moon when Blake pinned M. Moon after the Shaker Heights Spike in 0:14:09. Rating: * 1/2 [The Genius and Afa interfered against The Lightning Kid.] Adam Bomb pinned Bob Backlund with the Atom Smasher in 0:09:02. Adam Bomb suffered an elbow injury. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: 3/4 Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Ted DiBiase when Ramon pinned Bigelow after a small package in 0:17:10. Rating: * 3/4 [Sensational Sherri interfered against Razor Ramon.] Big Boss Man pinned Irwin R. Schyster with the Boss Man Slam in 0:09:38. Rating: 3/4 Crush and Randy Savage defeated Great Muta and Yokozuna when Savage defeated Yokozuna by disqualification in 0:18:23. Rating: * 1/2 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Randy Savage.] Card rating: ** 3/4 Match observations: Mr. Fuji's team were disqualified after Fuji broke the pin following Randy Savage's flying elbow on Yokozuna. Savage and Crush cornered Fuji afterward and threatened to do a number on him, but The Arabian Butchers made the save. The Big Boss Man sprinted down to the squared circle wielding his nightstick and the faces cleared the ring of the heels to send the crowd home happy. One other noteworthy event was that Razor Ramon scored yet another pinfall over Bam Bam Bigelow. Ramon tied up Bigelow in a tight small package to earn the victory for himself and Mr. Perfect over the tandem of the Beast from the East and Ted DiBiase.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/25/08 at 19:28:53 WWF Superstars November 6th, 1993 Civic Center, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with comments from "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase regarding his bodyguard, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham, and his match-up with his former bodyguard, Virgil. DiBiase claimed that Virgil was not only inept as a bodyguard, but also inept as a wrestler and the Widowmaker would prove that he is in a different league tonight. Barry Windham defeated Virgil when Virgil passed out in the Iron Claw in 0:06:53. Rating: * 1/4 Virgil gave it his all tonight, but The Widowmaker overwhelmed him with a succession of power moves. Windham crushed Virgil with a lariat and a superplex, before locking on that painful nerve hold. Virgil stopped responding and the official called for the bell. After the contest, The Widowmaker reapplied the hold on the helpless Virgil, much to the delight of Ted DiBiase at ringside. The official attempted to intervene, but Windham shoved him to the mat. Mr. Perfect then sprinted out from the back with a steel chair and cleared the ring of the Widowmaker. The crowd cheered for Perfect as DiBiase held Windham back. Perfect checked on Virgil as the Million Dollar Man told the Widowmaker to bide his time. Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels battled to a double countout in 0:13:40. Rating: Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels had the classic encounter that everybody was expecting, but the finish was a letdown. Owen went for a suplex on Michaels, but the Heartbreak Kid reversed and both men crashed over the top rope to the floor. As the official's count edged closer to ten, the Rocket hoisted himself onto the ring apron, but Michaels grabbed his foot and stopped him from crawling in! Both men were counted out as a result. Jimmy Hart cut a promo on the Steiner Brothers, saying that Pierre's knee injury was healing quicker than expected. The Mouth of the South added that the Quebecers want their non-title match with the Steiners in two weeks' time. Marty Jannetty pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Rocker Dropper in 0:05:38. Rating: 3/4 Razor Ramon was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Ramon said that last week, everybody watching at home saw that he was the better man in the Intercontinental Title Match against Bam Bam Bigelow and would have left with the title if the time limit hadn't expired. The Bad Guy claimed that Bigelow knows it too and challenged the Beast from the East for another shot at the gold. Footage was shown from two weeks ago when The Beverly Brothers were disqualified in their match against the Lightning Kid and Max Moon when The Genius knocked the Lightning Kid off the top rope after he hit him with his scroll. The Beverlys did a number on the youngsters afterward, leading to tonight's rematch. Max Moon and The Lightning Kid defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Kid pinned Beau after an inside cradle in 0:10:30. Rating: ** [The Genius interfered against The Lightning Kid.] The Lightning Kid scored the surprise win for his team when he rolled up Beau Beverly out of nowhere. Once again, defeat did not sit well with the Beverly Brothers, who attacked the Kid and Max Moon after the bell with the Genius' metal scroll and laid out both men with the Shaker Heights Spike. Circuit information: "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham was fined for his assault on Virgil and also for putting his hands on a WWF referee, but the fine was simply pocket change for Ted DiBiase. Despite Windham's impressive showings in his WWF career thus far, Mr. Perfect is still determined to lock up with the Widowmaker at the earliest available opportunity. After the Beverly Brothers' attack on the Lightning Kid and Max Moon and Owen Hart's non-finish with Shawn Michaels tonight, WWF President Jack Tunney has decided to incorporate these rivalries into the Survivor Series card. Tunney has booked a match pitting Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty against the quartet of Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers, to be fought under traditional elimination rules. Given the talent of all eight men involved, this contest could potentially steal the show! Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers and The Headshrinkers Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where The Steiners will be in action, plus, in the main event, "Macho Man" Randy Savage goes one-on-one with Yokozuna! See you then!
91	Posted on 04/25/08 at 21:33:09 It's a really interesting circuit this because it's a totally throwback and completely unlike the other circuits in that it's very faithful to the 1993 WWF style (lack of "crash TV" and a lot more of the VERY slow build to the PPV's since they had 2-3 months at a time). By the way, in reading through, what happened to Luger? He has his big match with Crush and then disappears, no mention of him leaving or anything. Are you still considering him injured and just had him work those two matches against Hart and Crush or is he gone? Final question - should this thing keep going and going (and it's obviously a popular circuit and you're getting through the cards at a nice pace) would you carry it on all the way up to the present day, hypothetically, with changes in style as necessary?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/25/08 at 22:50:14 The Narcissist will be back in action soon. I'm just giving the poor guy a break after what has been a hectic year for him. I'm trying to keep the style as close to the timeframe as much as possible, but may implement some more recent innovations (such as gimmick matches that weren't around then) soon. Cheers for reading.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/27/08 at 11:49:57 Monday Night RAW November 8th, 1993 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with an announcement from WWF President Jack Tunney that he was barring all members from Randy Savage's and Yokozuna's Survivor Series teams from ringside for their forthcoming one-on-one encounter. Randy Savage defeated Yokozuna by disqualification in 0:10:23. Rating: * 1/2 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Randy Savage.] Team mates may have been barred but Mr. Fuji was still allowed out there, and it was he who cost Randy Savage a pinfall victory here. Savage had the fall won after connecting with the flying elbow, but Fuji entered the ring and cracked the Macho Man across the back with the Japanese flag! Randy Savage cornered Mr. Fuji and aimed a punch at him, when the Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers made their way out from the back. Suddenly, out through the crowd came WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, Crush and the Big Boss Man! The faces cut the heels off at the pass as an army of officials and road agents got between the warring factions. Meanwhile, in the ring, Savage seized the opportunity to unload with several right hands on Fuji, before throwing him over the top rope! When RAW returned from commercial, an angry and battered Mr. Fuji challenged any two of Bret Hart's team to face his Arabian Butchers next week on Monday Night RAW! The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated Corey Student and Steve Smith when R. Steiner pinned S. Smith after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:08:32. Rating: ** 1/4 During this contest, Jimmy Hart led his Quebecers out to ringside. Jacques and Pierre made their way over to the timekeeper's table and began checking out the WWF Tag Team Title belts, distracting the Steiners. Jacques and Pierre even tried the belts on for size! After the match, The Steiner Brothers chased the Quebecers to the back and reclaimed possession of their gold. Sean Mooney interviewed Bret Hart and his Survivor Series team mates backstage. Crush was eager to accept the challenge from Fuji and the Arabian Butchers. Bret Hart said that his back was close to 100% again and he would team up with the big Hawaiian next week. Bob Backlund pinned Mike Moraldo after a small package in 0:03:39. Rating: DUD A special Survivor Series report, hosted by "Mean" Gene Okerlund, was shown in which another match for the pay-per-view was announced. It will see the team of WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and "Terrific" Terry Taylor do battle with Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana! Okerlund added that Tatanka was very close to a return to the squared circle. Mean Gene had one other huge announcement - the long-awaited bout between The Widowmaker and Mr. Perfect would take place next week on Monday Night RAW! A Mr. Perfect promo aired in which he expressed his delight at finally being able to get his hands on the Widowmaker. Kamala pinned Gus Kentaroccus with the Ugandan Splash in 0:06:14. Rating: -* After the match, Kamala was attacked by a man who was bare footed with long straggly hair and sporting a caveman type leotard! Kim Chee was also out there and he appeared to be instructing this wild brawler with the caveman look. The caveman took Kamala down surprisingly easily and pummelled him with a succession of punches. The referees appeared to be intimidated by this madman, who hoisted the Ugandan Giant up and suplexed him from one side of the ring to the other! The fans looked on in awe as Kim Chee dragged the caveman off Kamala by the hair. Kim Chee seemed to be having a hard time controlling this man, who was desperate for another piece of Kamala! Circuit information: Next week's edition of Monday Night RAW is shaping up to be a cracker! Not only will Mr. Perfect finally go one-on-one with "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham, but also WWF Champion Bret Hart teams up with Crush to battle the Arabian Butchers! The mind games have started from Jimmy Hart and The Quebecers, as they look to get the psychological advantage over WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers ahead of their non-title match in a fortnight. Remember, if Jacques and Pierre win, then they'll be named the number one contenders to the Steiners' gold. It has been revealed that this uncontrollable madman who debuted tonight and attacked Kamala is known as The Tazmaniac. Kim Chee has apparently brought this savage in to destroy Kamala. Kim Chee was beside himself with anger when Kamala left him and Harvey Wippleman late last year and sided with Reverend Slick instead. Now, Kim Chee wants revenge and The Tazmaniac may just be the man to get it for him. Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and "Terrific" Terry Taylor vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers and The Headshrinkers We hope you'll join us this weekend on Superstars, where Tito Santana and Repo Man will be in action, plus the Headshrinkers square off against the Smoking Gunns!
91	Posted on 04/27/08 at 12:43:07 Tazz eh? And here's me thinking it'd be Ed Leslie doing his fur face gimmick again. And it was just a matter of time before Ramon and Bigelow were put in a Survivor Series match.
Matteus	Posted on 04/28/08 at 20:08:31 VERY interesting putting The Tazmaniac in there... I wasn't sure exactly who it was, but this ought to be very interesting. I love that you're putting little things like this in there to change history ever so slightly. Just a question: how far ahead do you generally or currently have planned for this circuit?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/28/08 at 21:55:39 I wrote the 1994 Royal Rumble yesterday. I have plans up until the King of the Ring, provided key guys don't quit on me.
Grappler	Posted on 04/29/08 at 05:39:19 So you're running your circuit with wrestlers under contract? How many wrestlers do you have, and how long of contracts do you sign your main eventers to?
rey619	Posted on 04/29/08 at 07:35:18 I thought the wild man was Ultimate Warrior, actually, but I must be lost in time or something. Taz makes an interesting experiment: how would Taz fare in WWE?

How many wrestlers do you have, and how long of contracts do you sign your main eventers to? Currently (Rumble '94) I have 27 faces, 29 heels and one tweener. When I started the circuit I signed everybody I could to 52 card deals, which works out to be approximately one year in my circuit (I run Monday Night RAW and Superstars as one card each week). Most re-signed when their deals expired at the turn of the year - you'll find out who did and did not in due course. Again, thanks a lot to everybody who reads this circuit.

Unless you actually want the challenge of dealing with a large chunk of your roster leaving, I always think this is a bad idea. Ignoring the fact that I'm a dirty cheat who hires and fires when I want, whenever I've abided by wrestlers quitting and what-have-you, I always hire my top guy for 52 cards, the next best for 51, etc etc. That way you never have to deal with more than a couple of leavers at a time.

MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH	Posted on 04/30/08 at 09:53:02 I always just one "card' as one month and only turn on hiring/firing on the last card of the month--or the big show/PPV of the month. I suppose it is "cheating," but then again it doesn't make much sense to hiring guys for only 52 cards (barring running one card a month.) I usually sign the top guys for 4 years (48 cards) and others depending on who they are, how important they'll be, etc.
Thnikkaman	Posted on 04/30/08 at 16:50:39 since I use tweakcirc, for me 1 card is actually 10 cards. This way I can get a full month in before I lose time off contracts. I usually sign for 6 months (that's 60 cards with card multiplier) to start off with, and then another 6 if I renew. If the worker has gotten over or is a champion, or near the top of the card I will sign for 12 months.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/04/08 at 22:18:28 WWF Superstars November 13th, 1993 Civic Center, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with comments from Jimmy Hart, who was standing by with the Quebecers, the Headshrinkers, Afa and Irwin R. Schyster. Hart said that unfortunately Fatu's back injury was worse than first thought and he would not be fit for the Steiners/Smoking Gunns vs. Quebecers/Headshrinkers bout at the Survivor Series. However, Hart had called upon IRS to fill the slot and the evil taxman had graciously accepted. IRS said that he and Samu will work like a well-oiled machine and added that the Smoking Gunns would find that out first hand tonight. Footage was shown from the previous encounter between Earthquake and T.L. Hopper, when afterwards the wrestling plumber attacked Earthquake's throat with his plunger, leaving Earthquake nursing a damaged trachea. Earthquake pinned T.L. Hopper with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:04:15. Rating: * 3/4 Earthquake squashed T.L. Hopper in their return bout and then afterwards 'Quake broke Betsy the plunger over his knee. Tito Santana pinned Pat Tanaka with the Mexican Hammer in 0:05:30. Rating: ** A video package was shown building up the return of Tatanka, who will be in action next week on Superstars. Repo Man made John Paul submit to an armbar submission in 0:04:00. Rating: * 3/4 Another Survivor Series report aired, in which "Mean" Gene Okerlund announced that the team of The Undertaker, Kamala, Virgil and Bob Backlund will face The Birdman, Adam Bomb, Skinner and Repo Man on the show. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Irwin R. Schyster and Samu when Bart Gunn pinned I.R.S. with the Revolver in 0:08:11. Rating: *** 3/4 [Afa interfered against Billy Gunn.] Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler promoted the non-title match between The Steiner Brothers and The Quebecers on next week's show as this week's edition of Superstars drew to a close. Circuit information: Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and "Terrific" Terry Taylor vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana The Undertaker, Virgil, Kamala and Bob Backlund vs. The Birdman, Adam Bomb, Skinner and Repo Man Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers, Samu and Irwin R.

Then, WWF Champion Bret Hart returns from injury, teaming with Crush to battle the Arabian Butchers! See you then!!
Matteus	Posted on 05/05/08 at 16:43:13 Another fantastic card, King! I love how this circuit unfolds and how everything feels so natural. I can't give you enough kudos for this circuit :)
Thnikkaman	Posted on 05/05/08 at 17:01:39 I am wondering though why the Tasmaniac is not in the match against Kamala?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/05/08 at 20:06:09 Monday Night RAW November 15th, 1993 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with a video highlights package documenting the feud between Ted DiBiase's bodyguard "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and Mr. Perfect. The Widowmaker cost Perfect his match with DiBiase at SummerSlam and then after Perfect won the return match on this past September's edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Windham attacked Perfect backstage. Perfect has wanted Windham in a match for months and tonight, he finally gets his wish. Barry Windham defeated Mr. Perfect by disqualification in 0:05:12. Barry Windham injured his right knee. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: * 1/2 This was an all-out brawl from bell to bell. Mr. Perfect dropkicked The Widowmaker over the top rope and Barry Windham landed on top of the Million Dollar Man at ringside! The two men fought outside the ring and when Windham went for a big boot, Perfect dodged the blow at the last second and Windham's leg became wedged between the ringpost and the turnbuckles! The Widowmaker was trapped and in agony as Perfect punched away at his knee! Sensational Sherri tried to get involved, but Perfect shoved her away. Perfect then picked up a chair and smashed Windham's right knee, leaving the referee with no option but to call for the bell. Mr. Perfect struck Barry Windham's knee twice more with the chair before being dragged away by officials. Ted DiBiase tried to help his bodyguard after the attack and The Widowmaker was eventually helped to the back by officials. Sean Mooney interviewed WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Crush backstage. They vowed to take care of the Arabian Butchers tonight. Owen Hart pinned Sid Garrison with the Rocket Launcher in 0:04:27. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Kim Chee was having a heated argument with Skinner, while the Tazmaniac looked on menacingly. Lord Alfred Hayes was frightened of getting too close, but surmised that the gist of the disagreement was that Kim Chee wanted Skinner to give up his place at the Survivor Series to the Tazmaniac, so that the Tazmaniac could get his hands on Kamala again. Skinner was unwilling to comply to Kim Chee's wishes, so the Tazmaniac's handler challenged the Alligator Man to put up his spot in a match with the Tazmaniac tonight. Skinner accepted and spat tobacco juice at Kim Chee. Tazmaniac pinned Skinner with the Tazplex in 0:05:48. Rating: * 3/4 The stocky Tazmaniac took Skinner apart with his unorthodox offence, which consisted primarily of a wide variety of suplexes. The most devastating of all, christened the Tazplex, was enough for the three count. This means that the Tazmaniac replaces Skinner and will now team with The Birdman, Adam Bomb and Repo Man to battle The Undertaker, Kamala, Virgil and Bob Backlund at Survivor Series. As Crush made his entrance for tonight's main event, the camera cut to the backstage area where Bret Hart was laid out, unconscious. Crush saw this on the video wall and showed immediate concern for his tag team partner. He knew that Mr. Fuji had something to do with it, but the Arabian Butchers immediately attacked the big Hawaiian to start what was now effectively a handicap match! Handicap-Match: The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) and Crush battled to a no-contest in 0:06:47. Rating: ** Crush showed brief flurries of offence, but he was soon overpowered and beaten down each time by Manuel and Victor. After several minutes of action, Bret Hart hobbled down the aisle, favouring his injured back. The Arabian Butchers left the ring and destroyed the Hitman. When the official attempted to restore order, one of the twins punched him out. Yokozuna and the Great Muta made their way down to the ring to dish out more punishment to Bret Hart and Crush. Yokozuna squashed Crush with the Banzai drop, while the Arabian Butchers dropped a succession of elbowdrops onto Hart's injured lower back. The camera cut once more to the backstage area, where Vince McMahon informed viewers that the Big Boss Man and Randy Savage had been barricaded in their dressing room! The camera showed a door being pounded from the inside, with equipment boxes wedged up against it! Great Muta then applied his devastating Muta lock to the Hitman, while Mr. Fuji got in Hart's face and insulted him. Fuji slapped Hart across the face and spat on him until officials and road agents hit the ring and managed to restore order. The damage had been done though, particularly to the WWF Champion. Circuit information: Mr. Fuji perpetrated his most calculated and pre-meditated attack on Bret "Hitman" Hart and Crush tonight and with just a matter of days remaining until the Survivor Series, you have to worry about the condition of these two athletes. The Hitman has missed recent action due to an injury to his lower back and was all set to return to the ring tonight, but he was laid out backstage, forcing Crush into a handicap match against the sadistic Arabian Butchers. Under instruction from the merciless Fuji, the Butchers focused their assault on Crush's head, as the big Hawaiian has suffered two serious concussions during the past year. When the Hitman finally did make it out to the ring, he was beaten down and his back further punished by the Great Muta's excruciating Muta lock. While all this violence was going down, Hart and Crush's team mates at Survivor Series, Randy Savage and the Big Boss Man, were unable to help as they had been barricaded in their locker room! There are bound to be casualties when these two teams meet in the main event of the Survivor Series on Thanksgiving Eve. Mr. Perfect's anger at Barry Windham boiled over tonight, as he was disqualified only a matter of minutes into their long-awaited grudge match. The Widowmaker wrapped his leg around the ringpost after a big boot attempt went awry and Perfect destroyed Windham's right knee with a chair! The Widowmaker now faces a race against time to be fit for the Survivor Series. The Tazmaniac defeated Skinner tonight and as a result will replace the Alligator Man in the Survivor Series. Kim Chee has sent the barbaric madman after his former charge Kamala, after the Ugandan Giant left him to follow the Reverend Slick. Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham and "Terrific" Terry Taylor vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana The Undertaker, Virgil, Kamala and Bob Backlund vs. The Birdman, Adam Bomb, Repo Man and The Tazmaniac Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers, Samu and Irwin R. Schyster This weekend on WWF Superstars, The Quebecers challenge the Steiner Brothers in a non-title match, with the stipulation that if Jacques and Pierre are victorious, then they'll receive a shot at the Tag Team Titles. See you this weekend!
djmasterscooter	Posted on 05/06/08 at 03:13:23 You know a circuit is awesome when you look forward to it every day. I like how it isn't terribly obvious who will challenge the Hitman after Survivor Series. Any chance of ever making exports for the time frame?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/06/08 at 23:21:12 WWF Superstars November 20th, 1993 Civic Center, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Promos aired from WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Quebecers to open the show, in which they built-up their non-title match in tonight's main event and each team guaranteed the win for themselves. Tatanka pinned Tim Horner with the End of the Trail in 0:04:42. Rating: ** 3/4 During the bout, Tatanka cut an insert promo saying that Terry Taylor's attempts to put him out of action would fail and that he would take out the self-proclaimed Terrific One at the Survivor Series. Virgil defeated Barry Hardy when Barry Hardy passed out in the Cobra Clutch in 0:05:04. Rating: * Gene Okerlund hosted a special edition of Survivor Series report, in which it was announced that "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham has been ruled out of Survivor Series after the attack by Mr. Perfect on Monday Night RAW. "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase then cut a promo on Perfect, vowing to splash the cash in order to find a replacement for The Widowmaker for his Survivor Series team. DiBiase promised that it would be someone who would take care of Perfect. Shawn Michaels pinned Reno Riggins after a superkick in 0:02:48. Rating: 3/4 During the bout, Shawn Michaels cut an insert promo promising victory for his team at Survivor Series over Owen Hart and his band of chumps. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) when Pierre pinned R. Steiner after the Quebec Crash in 0:15:18. Rating: * 3/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Scott Steiner.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Rick Steiner.] The finish in this non-title match came when Scott Steiner had Pierre up on his shoulders, reading for Rick Steiner to deliver the flying bulldog. However, as Jimmy Hart distracted the official, Jacques clocked Rick with Hart's megaphone, knocking the Dog Faced Gremlin off the turnbuckles. The Quebecers threw Scott out of the ring and then nailed Rick with their assisted senton to score the win and inflict a first pinfall loss to the Steiners in the WWF. After the match, The Quebecers signalled that they would soon have the WWF Tag Team Titles around their waists while the crowd booed them out of the building. Circuit information: The Quebecers shocked the wrestling world tonight by defeating the Steiner Brothers - the first team to do so in the WWF - and earn a shot at the Tag Team Titles. The victory was a controversial one as Jacques used Jimmy Hart's megaphone on Rick Steiner which lead to the pinfall, but nevertheless The Quebecers have seized a psychological advantage over the champions heading into the Survivor Series. As a result of Mr. Perfect injuring "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham's right knee this past week on Monday Night RAW, Windham has been ruled out of the Survivor Series. However, Ted DiBiase has promised a fitting replacement for his team. With all that money behind him, who on earth will the Million Dollar Man find? Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "Terrific" Terry Taylor and ??? vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana The Undertaker, Virgil, Kamala and Bob Backlund vs. The Birdman, Adam Bomb, Repo Man and The Tazmaniac Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers, Samu and Irwin R. Schyster Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, the last stop on the road to the Survivor Series! We'll bring you a special interview with Bret Hart's Survivor Series team, plus the mysterious Birdman will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/08/08 at 22:22:16 Monday Night RAW - Survivor Series Showdown November 22nd, 1993 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Before the opening match on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, Friar Ferguson led the crowd in a prayer for the Berzerker, who is recovering from neck fusion surgery. Friar Ferguson pinned John Crystal with the Sitdown Splash in 0:05:32. Rating: -1/4* Jerry "The King" Lawler hosted a special edition of the King's Court, featuring Bam Bam Bigelow, Ted DiBiase and Terry Taylor. The three men argued over who should be the captain of their Survivor Series team. Lawler interrupted asked whether or not the bigger issue was finding a partner to replace the injured Widowmaker. DiBiase said that they could all relax, as he had spent big bucks securing an adequate replacement. The Million Dollar Man guaranteed victory for his team at the Survivor Series! Typhoon pinned Jim Massenger with the Big Splash in 0:05:50. Rating: -1/4* Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed the team of Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and the Big Boss Man. The Hitman said that he and his team had survived ever single one of the beatdowns and sneak attacks from Mr. Fuji and his cronies. Hart warned that at the Survivor Series, Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers would not survive! The Birdman pinned JW Storm with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:45. Rating: 3/4* After the match, the lights began to flicker and went out. A bell tolled and The Undertaker appeared on the video wall, to a loud pop from the crowd! The Undertaker cut a promo on The Birdman, warning that he and his partners will rest in peace at the Survivor Series! Circuit information: Here's the current Survivor Series card from Boston Garden, live on Thanksgiving Eve only on pay-per-view: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Crush and Big Boss Man vs. Yokozuna, Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers Ever since Yokozuna came up short in his quest to take the WWF Championship, Mr. Fuji has made it his mission to end the career of Bret "Hitman" Hart. Fuji brought in the Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers to the WWF in his quest to put the Hitman out of commission. Over the past couple of months, Randy Savage, Crush and the Big Boss Man have been dragged into this feud, resulting in a series of brawls and beatdowns. At the Survivor Series, these two teams will clash in one final showdown, and you can bet that after this war all eight men will never be the same again. WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "Terrific" Terry Taylor and ??? vs. Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham was originally scheduled to be part of this match, but he was taken out last week by Mr. Perfect, who injured Windham's knee. This was the latest event in the bitter feud between Ted Dibiase and his bodyguard and Mr. Perfect. However, DiBiase has spent a lot of money in order to draft in a suitable replacement, the identity of whom he is keeping under wraps until Survivor Series. Razor Ramon and Bam Bam Bigelow, two men who have been battling over the Intercontinental Title recently, are on opposite sides in this one, as well as "Terrific" Terry Taylor and Tatanka. Taylor has been bitter at the Native American after he suffered a torn ACL in a match with Tatanka last February, forcing the Terrific One out of action for months. Now, Taylor is hell-bent on making Tatanka pay and will be looking to do so on Thanksgiving Eve. The Undertaker, Virgil, Kamala and Bob Backlund vs. The Birdman, Adam Bomb, Repo Man and The Tazmaniac The Birdman has been targeting The Undertaker ever since SummerSlam, when he sent a murder of crows after the Deadman. Paul Bearer also suffered a vicious bird attack last month, an assault that was so severe that it encouraged WWF President Jack Tunney to prohibit The Birdman bringing any more of his birds to WWF arenas. The Undertaker will be out for revenge at the Survivor Series. This match also features the pay-per-view debut of the wild Tazmaniac, an uncontrollable caveman character who Kim Chee brought to the WWF to take out his former charge, the Ugandan Giant Kamala. Owen Hart, The Lightning Kid, Max Moon and Marty Jannetty vs. Shawn Michaels, Doink the Clown and the Beverly Brothers This bout, potentially the sleeper match of the show, showcases much of the young talent we have in the World Wrestling Federation. The Lightning Kid and Max Moon have endured two sneak attacks from the Beverly Brothers in recent weeks, while Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels took each other to the limit in a gripping match that ended in an unsatisfying double count out at the beginning of the month, so there are certainly scores to be settled in this one. WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The Smoking Gunns vs. The Quebecers, Samu and Irwin R. Schyster This match-up was originally set to feature four of the premier tag teams in the WWF, but Fatu was ruled out through injury and IRS replaces him. The Steiner Brothers will be eager to avenge their non-title defeat to the Quebecers last week on Superstars, whereas if The Quebecers could defeat the Steiners again at the Survivor Series, then the possibility that Jacques and Pierre could be the men to end the Steiner Brothers' ten month reign as Tag Team Champions would not be so distant. We'll see you live on Thanksgiving Eve for the Survivor Series!! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/10/08 at 15:47:01 WWF SURVIVOR SERIES 1993 Thanksgiving Eve, November 24th, 1993 Boston Garden, Boston, MA Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Elimination Match: The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly), Doink the Clown and Shawn Michaels beat Marty Jannetty, Max Moon, The Lightning Kid and Owen Hart 4 falls to 3: x M. Moon beat Beau via a German suplex in 0:05:54 x Kid beat Blake via a Northern Lights suplex in 0:08:41 x Michaels beat Kid via a German suplex in 0:10:16 x Michaels beat M. Moon via a reverse neckbreaker in 0:14:51 x Doink beat O. Hart via countout in 0:18:52 x Jannetty beat Doink via a sunset flip in 0:19:03 x Michaels beat Jannetty via a superkick in 0:22:36 Survivors: Shawn Michaels Rating: * The Beverly Brothers were eliminated quickly from the opening contest, leaving Shawn Michaels and Doink at a four-on-two disadvantage. The Heartbreak Kid was on song tonight though and he soon evened the odds after a German suplex on the Lightning Kid and a hangman's neckbreaker on Max Moon. Owen Hart was then counted out after Michaels superkicked him in the back of the head behind the official's back, knocking Owen off the ring apron to the floor. Marty Jannetty pinned Doink with a sunset flip, setting up a one-on-one encounter between the former Rockers. Michaels got his foot on the bottom rope after Jannetty's Rocker Dropper, before drilling his ex-tag team partner with a superkick to become the sole survivor. Elimination Match: Samu, Irwin R. Schyster and The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) beat The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) 2 falls to 1: x Bart Gunn beat Samu (partner: Irwin R. Schyster) via a bulldog in 0:09:31 x Jacques beat Billy Gunn (partner: Bart Gunn) via a piledriver in 0:13:00 x Pierre beat S. Steiner (partner: Rick Steiner) via a lariat in 0:19:03 Survivors: Quebecer Jacques, Quebecer Pierre Rating: 3/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Scott Steiner.] In this Survivor Series match, tag team partners were eliminated together and it was the makeshift pairing of IRS and Samu who were first to go when Bart Gunn pinned Samu with a bulldog after Samu missed a charge into the corner. The Quebecers restored parity when Jacques planted Billy Gunn with a piledriver. That meant it was down to WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and number one contenders The Quebecers, with Rick and Scott keen to avenge last week's non-title loss to Jimmy Hart's men. However, as Scott Steiner chased an interfering Jimmy Hart, he walked straight into a vicious lariat from Pierre and was pinned. "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase shocked the world when he introduced "The Narcissist" Lex Luger as the replacement for "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham on his team. Elimination Match: Razor Ramon, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and Tito Santana beat Bam Bam Bigelow, Ted DiBiase, Terry Taylor and Lex Luger 4 falls to 3: x Luger beat Santana via an elbowdrop in 0:07:54 x Tatanka beat Taylor via a powerslam in 0:10:59 x Luger beat Tatanka via a back elbow in 0:11:52 x Perfect beat DiBiase via the Perfect Plex in 0:16:03 x Bigelow beat Perfect via a half Boston in 0:19:03 x Ramon beat Luger via a belly-to-back superplex in 0:21:25 x Ramon beat Bigelow via an Oklahoma side roll in 0:25:07 Survivors: Razor Ramon Rating: 3/4 [Terry Taylor interfered against Tatanka.] [Ted DiBiase interfered against Mr. Perfect.] The returning Lex Luger justified the amount of cash that Ted DiBiase spent to convince him to join the Million Dollar Man's team when he eliminated Tito Santana in just under eight minutes. Tatanka pinned Terry Taylor with a powerslam, which didn't sit well with the Terrific One who is embroiled in a bitter dispute with the Native American. Taylor refused to leave quietly and as DiBiase distracted the official, Taylor smashed Tatanka in the back with a steel chair as he bounced off the ropes. Tatanka was then easy pickings for the Narcissist. Mr. Perfect used the Perfect Plex to get rid of Ted DiBiase, but DiBiase took a leaf out of Terry Taylor's book by showing what a sore loser he is. DiBiase attacked Perfect from behind and dragged him to the corner of the ring, where he proceeded to smash Perfect's knee into the ringpost! WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow used a half crab on Perfect's injured leg and Mr. Perfect had no option but to submit. That left Razor Ramon with a two-on-one disadvantage against Luger and Bigelow. Razor dropped Luger with a belly-to-back suplex off the ropes for the three count as The Narcissist took too much time working the crowd, before Ramon scored yet another pin over the Intercontinental Champion with a roll up. A vignette aired promoting the debut of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, a country music singer who intends to elevate his singing career through his exposure as a wrestler. Double J ended the promo by distinctly spelling out his name ("That's J-E-Double-F, J-A Double-R, E Double-T!"). Elimination Match: Repo Man, Tazmaniac, The Birdman and Adam Bomb beat Bob Backlund, Kamala, The Undertaker and Virgil 4 falls to 3: x Undertaker beat Repo via the Tombstone in 0:02:27 x Tazmaniac beat Kamala via the Tazplex in 0:06:34 x Backlund beat Tazmaniac via countout in 0:07:22 x double countout (Undertaker and Birdman) in 0:13:11 x A. Bomb beat Backlund via the Atom Smasher in 0:16:47 x A. Bomb beat Virgil via the Atom Smasher in 0:19:10 Survivors: Adam Bomb Rating: 3/4 The Undertaker made short work of Repo Man to kick this bout off, before the Tazmaniac threw Kamala around the ring with a series of suplexes, finishing the Ugandan Giant off with the Tazplex. The Tazmaniac wasn't finished though and continued to pummel Kamala, which resulted in him getting himself counted out. The Birdman and The Undertaker battled each other before their brawl spilled to the floor. Both men fought around ringside and up the aisle and referee Mike Chioda counted both combatants out. Adam Bomb, returning from a minor elbow injury, then seized the moment to take apart both Bob Backlund and Virgil in impressive fashion en route to emerging as the soul survivor. The camera crew picked up The Undertaker and the Birdman fighting backstage and out of the arena. They battled around a big casket which was ominously stationed in the parking lot. The Birdman grabbed a lead pipe and jammed it into the Deadman's gut. The Birdman then opened the casket and smashed The Undertaker in the face with the pipe! 'Taker toppled backwards into the casket and the Birdman made one of those creepy bird calls. Suddenly, a flock of birds descended down and flew into the casket with The Undertaker! The Birdman slammed the lid down and locket the casket, before laughing evilly! Road agents and officials were quickly on the scene and managed to force open the casket lit, but all they discovered was a scattering of feathers! The Undertaker was nowhere to be found! Elimination Match: Bret Hart, Big Boss Man, Crush and Randy Savage beat The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor), Yokozuna and Great Muta 4 falls to 2: x Yokozuna beat Boss Man via the Banzai Drop in 0:09:37 x Crush beat Manuel via the Hawaiian Smasher in 0:11:07 x Muta beat Crush via the Moonsault Press in 0:14:29 x Savage beat Victor via an inside cradle in 0:19:19 x Savage beat Yokozuna via countout in 0:27:52 x B. Hart beat Muta via the Sharpshooter in 0:32:35 Survivors: Bret Hart, Randy Savage Rating: * [Mr. Fuji interfered against Crush.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bret Hart.] The bad blood between both these teams was evident from the start as a huge eight man brawl broke out. The officials were finally able to restore order and it was the Big Boss Man who was first to hit the showers after Yokozuna's Banzai Drop. Crush sent Arabian Butcher Manuel packing with the Hawaiian Smasher, before the Great Muta nailed Crush with his gorgeous moonsault for the three count. Macho Man Randy Savage rolled up Victor for the pinfall after Muta missed Savage with the green mist and blinded Victor instead. That meant we were down to what was effectively a tag team match pitting WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Randy Savage against Yokozuna and the Great Muta. Savage dropped a flying axhandle off the top rope onto Yokozuna at ringside. Yokozuna failed to return to the ring by the referee's ten count and was subsequently eliminated! As Savage celebrated, Yokozuna dragged him out of the ring and planted him with a belly-to-belly suplex onto the ringside floor! Yokozuna added an exclamation point by dropping a big legdrop on the back of Savage's head, in effect taking the Macho Man out of the rest of the match. Bret Hart and Great Muta then clashed in somewhat of a dream bout for wrestling fans all over the world. Muta targeted the Hitman's injured back mercilessly, but the Hitman refused to give up to the Muta lock. Hart avoided another moonsault from Muta and tied him up in the Sharpshooter, forcing the submission. Mr. Fuji was beside himself with rage after the match, as Bret Hart helped Randy Savage back into the ring. The Hitman and the Macho Man celebrated the victory as the 1993 Survivor Series drew to a close. Card rating: 3/4 Circuit information: WWF Champion Bret Hart's team were ultimately victorious over Mr. Fuji and his foreign mercenaries in our main event tonight as the Hitman and Macho Man Randy Savage emerged as sole survivors. This latest setback has not sat well with Fuji, who issued one final challenge to Bret Hart after Survivor Series went off air. Fuji has questioned whether or not the Hitman has the guts to meet Yokozuna in a steel cage match this coming week on Monday Night RAW! The Hitman, eager to draw a line under this feud, unsurprisingly accepted Fuji's challenge quickly. Razor Ramon scored another pinfall over WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow on the way to becoming the soul survivor for his team. Bigelow has been reluctant to defend the gold against the Bad Guy again after he was taken to a fifteen minute time limit draw by Ramon several weeks ago, but surely after this evening Razor will not be denied another crack at the title. Also during that Survivor Series match, the Terry Taylor-Tatanka and Ted DiBiase-Mr. Perfect feuds rumbled on as Taylor and DiBiase did not take their eliminations well. The Undertaker and the Birdman were both counted out as they brawled outside the arena, where the Birdman locked the Deadman in a casket along with a flock of birds! When the casket was opened, The Undertaker was gone and we have no idea about the condition or whereabouts of the Phenom. As Undertaker and the Birdman fought, Adam Bomb took centre stage and made short work of Bob Backlund and Virgil to win the match. Bomb certainly means business and it will take a brave man to stand in the way of the Creation of Devastation's path of destruction. The Quebecers defeated The Steiner Brothers once again tonight and it certainly appears that the number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles have the champions' number. Shawn Michaels put in an awe-inspiring performance in the opening bout of the evening and rumour has it that the Heartbreak Kid's recent showings have impressed the WWF championship committee. Expect Michaels to earn a shot at a singles title in the near future. T.L. Hopper has given notice. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars for more on that huge steel cage match coming up this Monday night! Till then, so long everybody!!
Murphy42782	Posted on 05/12/08 at 02:58:21 Oh no, Hopper got the dreaded "Future Endeavors" retoric. That feud with Earthquake was short lived and couldn't propel the plumber man to stardom. Great card! Love the circuit!
Dr_Awesome	Posted on 05/12/08 at 19:55:49 Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Grappler	Posted on 05/13/08 at 03:49:13 I hate to admit I don't know who Hopper is. Was he better known under another name? It wasn't another failed Kevin Nash gimmick I hope.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/13/08 at 20:31:47 WWF Superstars November 27th, 1993 Farrell Hall, Delhi, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Crush made T.L. Hopper submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:02:11. Rating: *** A vignette aired promoting the debut of country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Razor Ramon was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Ramon stated that after he pinned Bam Bam Bigelow yet again at the Survivor Series, there was no way that the Beast from the East could deny him another shot at the Intercontinental Title. Lex Luger pinned Jim Massenger with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:05:10. Rating: 1/2* Vince McMahon announced that the winner of the WWF Wrestler of the Year award would be revealed this week on Monday Night RAW! The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Barry Hardy and Duane Gill when Victor pinned D. Gill after the Arabian Meat Cleaver in 0:08:45. Rating: * 1/2 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Duane Gill.] "Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted a special report in which he built up this coming Monday night's steel cage match between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Yokozuna from Kansas City. Comments aired from the Hitman and Mr. Fuji, before Okerlund revealed that a special guest referee had been signed to officiate this grudge match - former WWF superstar and Kansas native, the legendary Harley Race! Vince McMahon commended WWF President Jack Tunney on bringing in Harley Race to referee the cage match between Bret Hart and Yokozuna. McMahon put over Race as a legitimate tough guy and said he would be the ideal man to handle the chaos in the cage. Irwin R. Schyster made Bert Centeno submit to the Penalty in 0:04:32. Rating: * 1/4 The show closed with a promo from The Quebecers, who said they were still waiting to hear from WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers regarding when they were receiving their title shot. Jacques said that he and Pierre would become the new champs and added that the Steiners could only postpone the inevitable for so long. Circuit information: Jack Tunney felt that an experienced and no-nonsense character was required to referee the steel cage match between Bret Hart and Yokozuna this coming week on Monday Night RAW and with the show emanating from Kansas City, Tunney signed up hometown hero Harley Race to do the job. Race's raw-boned and rugged style was infamous during the 70s and early 80s and we expect a similar style of bout on Monday Night RAW when the Hitman and Yokozuna lock horns in wrestling's most brutal and unforgiving speciality match. After scoring two successive victories over The Steiner Brothers, The Quebecers are full of confidence and are eager for their Tag Team Title shot. We'll hear from the Steiners next week. Another man who wants a title match is Razor Ramon, who is desperate for another crack at Bam Bam Bigelow's Intercontinental Title. Ramon has had Bigelow's number in recent weeks, but when he challenged the Beast from the East for the gold, the contest ended in a time limit draw. Jack Tunney has news on this situation this Monday night.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/14/08 at 19:48:59 Monday Night RAW November 29th, 1993 Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, MO Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. WWF President Jack Tunney opened the show, announcing that Bam Bam Bigelow would defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Razor Ramon on next week's show. This time however, the time limit would be extended to twenty minutes. Great Muta pinned Gus Kentaroccus with the Moonsault Press in 0:05:19. Rating: * Before the next match, Vince McMahon announced that Tatanka would face "Terrific" Terry Taylor in two weeks' time on Superstars. Tatanka pinned John Crystal after a powerslam in 0:05:41. Rating: 3/4* During the match, Terry Taylor phoned in to the show and vowed to end the Indian's career in two weeks. Another vignette aired hyping the debut of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. As the ring crew built the steel cage, a video package documenting the bitter feud between WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Yokozuna was shown. Special guest referee Harley Race was then introduced and he received a nice ovation from his hometown crowd. Cage Match with Special Referee Harley Race: Bret Hart made Yokozuna submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:17:41. Rating: *** 1/4 (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bret Hart.] This steel cage match, who could only end by pinfall or submission, was a war from bell to bell. Both men used the cage as a weapon to brutalise each other. The Hitman drove Yokozuna's head repeatedly into the cage and then called for the Sharpshooter. Feeling the match slipping away, Mr. Fuji signalled to the back and The Great Muta sprinted out to the ringside area. Muta began climbing the cage, when suddenly Bret's brother Owen ran out from the back and yanked Muta off the blue bars! Owen and Muta brawled to the back, while The Hitman tied Yokozuna up in the Sharpshooter! Yokozuna had nowhere to go and finally gave up, handing the victory to the WWF Champion! Bret Hart acknowledged the cheers from the crowd as Yokozuna left the cage and was berated by Mr. Fuji all the way to the back! Harley Race raised the Hitman's arm aloft in triumph and called for the mic. Race put over the Hitman as a tremendous champion and said that he was pleased to present Bret Hart with the WWF Wrestler of the Year Award! As Hart began to thank the fans for all their support through the year, Race snatched the mic off him and said that IT'S TIME...IT'S TIME to introduce Bret Hart and the entire world to the man that will be the Wrestler of the Year...next year! Suddenly, a huge and intimidating man dressed in a red and black jumpsuit and wearing an elephant mask burst through the entrance curtain! Harley Race introduced everybody to BIG VAN VADER - an indestructible force in the world of professional wrestling!! Vince McMahon screamed that "he doesn't work here!!" as Big Van Vader removed his elephant mask, revealing a smaller leather mask, before pulling the cage door off its hinges and entering the ring! Vader rushed Bret Hart and cornered him, pummelling with series of stiff body shots! The crowd jeered as Vader lifted the Hitman up and rammed him repeatedly against the unforgiving steel bars. Vader crushed the WWF Champion in the corner with an avalanche as Harley Race kept the officials and road agents at bay. Vader planted Hart with a sickening power bomb and then destroyed him with two splashes off the middle rope! Vader picked up the Hitman's plaque commemorating his Wrestler of the Year Award and smashed it against the steel cage. Harley Race taunted the crowd and put over Big Van Vader while the fans booed them mercilessly! Injury: Bret Hart received an injury and will be out for 1 month. Circuit information: WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart suffered two cracked ribs as a result of the assault by Big Van Vader tonight. Vader, who has now apparently signed a WWF contract, comes to the company with a reputation as an impressive super-heavyweight wrestler capable of significant aerial manoeuvres. Harley Race has brought Vader to the World Wrestling Federation with the sole purpose of capturing the World Title and he introduced Vader to the current champion in the most violent manner possible tonight. After the disturbing post-match destruction of Bret Hart, it is easy to forget that The Hitman triumphed over Yokozuna tonight in their steel cage showdown to end their feud. We can exclusively reveal that following the show, Mr. Fuji fired Yokozuna from his stable after yet another failure from the former sumo champion.
Thnikkaman	Posted on 05/14/08 at 20:37:16 VADER TIME! Well done indeed. Great transition from the Yoko feud to Vader. I knew Harley had something up his sleeve. And a potential Muta/Owen showdown is just as good as the Bret Hart/Randy Savage showdown. It just keeps getting better and better.
MONEY, MONEY, YEAH, YEAH	Posted on 05/15/08 at 07:11:35 Mr. Fuji is a jerk. :(
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/19/08 at 22:48:37 WWF Superstars December 4th, 1993 Farrell Hall, Delhi, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Before the opening contest, footage rolled from the previous two meetings between The Beverly Brothers and the young team of the Lightning Kid and Max Moon. Both of these matches ended in a beatdown for the Kid and Moon, resulting in this final outing this evening. Max Moon and The Lightning Kid defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Kid pinned Blake after a flying cross body press in 0:11:33. Rating: * 1/2 Max Moon and The Lightning Kid put to rest their bitter dispute with The Beverly Brothers tonight on Superstars when the Kid pinned Blake with a cross body from the top rope. Shawn Michaels pinned Owen Hart with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:08:55. Rating: * 1/2 The previous match between these two talented young grapplers ended in a double count-out, but tonight Shawn Michaels scored the win when he got his knees up on Owen Hart's Rocket Launcher and drilled him with the side suplex. Adam Bomb defeated JW Storm via pinfall in 0:01:57. Rating: 1/2* Footage was shown from Monday Night RAW of the sickening assault on Bret Hart by the debuting mastodon, Big Van Vader. Vader destroyed the Hitman with two devastating Vader Bombs in the attack and the WWF Champion cracked a pair of ribs. Hart will be out of action until early next year while he recuperates. Jerry Lawler then exclusively revealed that he would conduct the very first interview with Harley Race and Big Van Vader this Monday on the King's Court! Backstage, Shawn Michaels was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Mooney asked Michaels what was behind his recent superb performances and impressive string of wins. The Heartbreak Kid alluded to a special person in his life that was serving as his inspiration, but would not be drawn on this mystery person's identity. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Corey Student and Tony DeVito when Jacques pinned T. DeVito after the Quebec Crash in 0:06:58. Rating: * 1/4 During the bout, WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers cut an insert promo, in which they said that Jack Tunney just had to name the time and place for their Tag Title Match with The Quebecers and they'd be ready.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/19/08 at 22:52:28 WWF @ Anaheim, CA December 4th, 1993 Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, CA Max Moon and The Lightning Kid defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Kid pinned Blake with the Lightning Bolt in 0:12:24. Rating: * 1/4 [The Genius interfered against Max Moon.] Tatanka pinned Terry Taylor after a cross-body block in 0:08:52. Rating: * Tatanka scored the win over his bitter rival here when The Native American countered Terry Taylor's back suplex attempt and got the pin. After the match, Taylor took out Tatanka's knee with a chop block and stomped it until he was dragged away by officials. Big Van Vader pinned Jim Brunzell with the Vader Bomb in 0:01:36. Jim Brunzell suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: * 3/4 As Jim Brunzell was stretchered out of the arena after his savage beating at the hands of Big Van Vader, Harley Race took the microphone and warned that he and Big Van Vader would stalk WWF Champion Bret Hart until they are granted a title shot. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty when Manuel pinned Jannetty after a splash in 0:12:31. Rating: * 1/4 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Marty Jannetty.] Razor Ramon defeated Shawn Michaels by countout in 0:18:01. Rating: * 1/4 Shawn Michaels walked out for the count out when it appeared that Razor Ramon had the contest firmly in control. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Big Boss Man with the Diving Headbutt in 0:11:32. Rating: * 3/4 (Bam Bam Bigelow retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) and The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) battled to a no contest in 0:12:40. Rating: [Jimmy Hart interfered against Rick Steiner.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Scott Steiner.] Referee Jack Doan threw this bout out when both teams continued to brawl and ignored the official's warnings. The match broke down when Jimmy Hart threw his megaphone to Pierre, but Rick Steiner was able to disarm him. Randy Savage defeated Great Muta by disqualification in 0:19:10. Rating: * 3/4 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Randy Savage.] Great Muta was disqualified when Mr. Fuji broke a Randy Savage pinfall attempt by breaking his Japanese flag over the Macho Man's back. After the match, Fuji held Savage for Muta to spit mist in his face, but Savage ducked and Fuji took the hit. The Macho Man then quickly cleared the ring of Muta and the blinded Fuji. Card rating: * 1/2**
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/23/08 at 22:32:29 Monday Night RAW December 6th, 1993 Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, MO Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with footage from last week's show of the sickening assault on Bret Hart by the debuting mastodon, Big Van Vader. Vince McMahon hyped up the appearance of Big Van Vader, along with his manager Harley Race, on the King's Court later in the show. Ted DiBiase pinned John Paul with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:05:35. Rating: ** After the match, Bobby Heenan interviewed Ted DiBiase at ringside. DiBiase informed everybody that "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham was healing very quickly from his knee injury - which is very bad news for Mr. Perfect. The interview segment was cut short abruptly by the Tazmaniac, who was dragging a dishevelled Reverend Slick out to the ring! Slick had obviously been roughed up backstage and the maniacal Tazmaniac threw him into the ring. Tazmaniac locked Slick in a chokehold, while Kim Chee berated Slick and slapped him repeatedly. This shocking turn of events had the desired effect as Kamala came out to the ring. The Tazmaniac and Kamala traded blows before officials and road agents came out to pull the two men apart. Skinner pinned Corey Student after a back elbow in 0:03:58. Rating: -3/4* We saw a more ruthless and aggressive side to Skinner after this bout, as The Alligator Man drilled the unfortunate Corey Student with two Gatorbreakers. Comments aired from WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon, who will battle it out for the title for a second time in the main event of tonight's show. Bob Backlund pinned Spike Gray after a small package in 0:06:24. Rating: * 1/2 Jerry "The King" Lawler brought out Big Van Vader and Harley Race to the squared circle for an edition of the King's Court. Vader and Race were greeted with a torrent of boos from the angry crowd. Lawler commended Vader for breaking Bret Hart's ribs and putting him in the hospital, saying that he had never witnessed a beating like it! Race put over Vader as an indestructible force and someone who has torn through the wrestling ranks overseas in Europe and Japan. Race said that if he chose to, Vader could simply squash you like a bug. If he chose to, Vader could throw you around with a very impressive arsenal of grappling manoeuvres. If he chose to, Vader could climb the ropes and fly through the air. Race chillingly warned that Big Van Vader feels no pain, he fears no man and that every opponent that he has been in the ring with has been left battered, bloodied, and broken - just like Bret Hart was last week. Race stated that you are looking at the next WWF Champion and closed the segment by adding that Vader's path of destruction continues next week when he'll make his Monday Night RAW in-ring debut! Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon battled to a draw in 0:20:00. Rating: *** 1/2 (Bam Bam Bigelow retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Razor Ramon was left frustrated once again in his pursuit of the Intercontinental Title as he went to another time limit draw with Bam Bam Bigelow. The time limit had been extended by five minutes for tonight's bout and as ring announcer Howard Finkel informed everybody that there were two minutes remaining, Ramon set The Beast from the East up for the Razor's Edge. However, Bigelow scrambled out of the ring before the Bad Guy could try and hoist him up! Bigelow wandered around the ring, only rolling in periodically to break the referee's count, as the time limit slowly ran out! Bigelow managed to dodge Ramon enough until the twenty minutes finally elapsed, so Bam Bam escapes once again with his championship! Razor Ramon demanded more time, but Bam Bam Bigelow had already left the ringside area with his title belt. With the show drawing to a close, Ramon took off after Bigelow and both men disappeared to the back. Circuit information: Sean Mooney tried to grab a word with Razor Ramon after the show, but he was much too angry and frustrated to grant an interview. Ramon has pinned Bam Bam Bigelow several times in the past two months, but never when it counts - when the championship has been on the line. This is why the Bad Guy is so demoralised and also why Bigelow is such a smart champion - he'll do whatever it takes to hold on to the strap! Big Van Vader will make his debut next week on Monday Night RAW. This sadistic, physically intimidating mastodon is known for his brutality, agility and strength and as his path of destruction continues, it is a path that he and Harley Race hope will lead him to the WWF Championship. Also on next week's show, The Tazmaniac will clash with Kamala in a one-on-one encounter.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/25/08 at 17:09:20 WWF Superstars December 11th, 1993 Farrell Hall, Delhi, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Marty Jannetty and The Lightning Kid defeated Mike Khoury and Steve Smith when Jannetty pinned S. Smith with the Rocker Dropper in 0:05:47. Rating: * 3/4 (Owen Hart no-showed.) WWF President Jack Tunney announced that on the New Year's Day edition of Superstars, The Steiner Brothers will defend the WWF Tag Team Titles against The Quebecers. Reaction from The Quebecers and Jimmy Hart was then shown, in which a delighted Jacques said that they would kick off the new year in style - with new Tag Team Champions! Jimmy Hart told the Steiners to spend the next twenty one days keeping the belts warm for Jacques and Pierre! The Birdman pinned Reno Riggins with the One Fell Swoop in 0:02:51. Rating: ** After the match, The Undertaker cut a promo in a graveyard challenging The Birdman to a Casket Match. The Man from the Darkside then revealed a tombstone with the Birdman's name on it.

Rating: 1/2* Before the match, Terry Taylor cut a promo on Tatanka, claiming that the Native American missed his flight on purpose to avoid wrestling him tonight. He added that what he does to Tito Santana tonight will be nothing compared to what he has in store for Tatanka. Terry Taylor pinned Tito Santana after the Doctor Bomb in 0:06:06. Rating: *** 1/4 (Tatanka no-showed.) Circuit information: Bad weather wreaked havoc on tonight's card, as many flights were cancelled forcing several WWF superstars to miss the show. Tonight's scheduled main event of Tatanka vs. Terry Taylor has been rearranged for next week's edition of Superstars.
Grappler	Posted on 05/25/08 at 19:53:48 Loved the touch of working in the "bad weather" plug to explain the multiple no-shows. It's the little things like that that make this circuit such a fun read. Keep up the great work. P.S. - I follow this circuit more faithfully than I do the real WWE at the moment. Though I am digging the Batista-Jericho-HBK storyline right now, it's very "old-school."
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/30/08 at 22:26:10 Monday Night RAW December 13th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Tazmaniac pinned Kamala after hitting him with a hard hat in 0:08:37. Rating: [Kim Chee interfered against Kamala.] Kamala appeared to have this match-up in the bag, but as he went to deliver the big splash he was distracted by Kim Chee on the apron. Kim Chee tossed his hard hat to the Tazmaniac, who clocked Kamala with it as the official told Kim Chee to get back down to ringside. Mr. Perfect pinned Rudy Gonzalez with the Perfect Plex in 0:03:02. Rating: After the match, Mr. Perfect took the mic and insincerely wished Barry Windham a speedy recovery from his knee injury. A vignette was shown for "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who introduced his manager, Tennessee Lee. Big Van Vader pinned Russ Greenberg with the Vader Bomb in 0:04:48. Russ Greenberg suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: * 1/4 Big Van Vader, in his Monday Night Raw debut, completely annihilated poor Russ Greenberg in a five minute beating that was difficult to watch at times. Vader planted Greenberg with a power bomb and pinned him easily after a Vader Bomb. The looks on the faces of the fans showed complete fear and trepidation as Big Van Vader crushed Russ Greenberg with another bruising Vader Bomb. Greenberg was stretchered out of the arena while Vader intimadated some of the fans around ringside. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Samu and Tahitian Savage when Billy Gunn pinned Tahitian Savage after the Sidewinder in 0:09:04. Rating: *** 3/4 [Afa interfered against Bart Gunn.] Circuit information: Big Van Vader continues to dominate all competition put in his path in the World Wrestling Federation. This unstoppable monster is after the WWF Title and when Bret Hart returns from injury he is surely set for his toughest challenge yet. Make sure you tune in this weekend for Superstars, where Crush and Adam Bomb will be in singles action, plus Tatanka and "Terrific" Terry Taylor will finally settle their feud!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/03/08 at 20:21:00 WWF Superstars December 18th, 1993 War Memorial, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Tatanka pinned Terry Taylor with the End of the Trail in 0:12:33. Rating: *** 1/2 Tatanka finally drew a close to his bitter feud with "Terrific" Terry Taylor tonight by picking up the win with the Samoan Drop, even after Taylor relentlessly assaulted Tatanka's knee throughout the contest. Adam Bomb pinned Todd Mata with the Atom Smasher in 0:02:40. Rating: * It was announced that ahead of the WWF Tag Team Title Match between The Steiner Brothers and The Quebecers in two weeks' time, next week the two teams will clash in singles competition, as Scott Steiner faces Jacques on Monday Night RAW and Rick squares off against Pierre right here on Superstars. Before the match, Friar Ferguson once again led the crowd in a prayer for the injured Berzerker. Friar Ferguson pinned Tim McNeany with the Missionary Position in 0:03:14. Rating: -3/4* Another vignette was shown for "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and his manager, Tennessee Lee. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Razor Ramon. Ramon called Bam Bam Bigelow the luckiest man alive for escaping another title match with the Bad Guy, still in possession of the Intercontinental Championship. Ramon said that everybody in the back, all the fans in the arena and everyone watching at home want to see him and Bigelow go at it one more time for the title. The Bad Guy added that if he fails to get the job done this time, then he'll never ask Bigelow for another title shot. Crush made Repo Man submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:11:52. Rating: ** 3/4 After defeating Repo Man in this SummerSlam 1992 rematch, Crush took the mic and said that he was officially naming himself as the very first participant in the 1994 Royal Rumble. Crush vowed to win the Rumble and wrestle the WWF Champion in the main event of WrestleMania X. Circuit information: Tatanka was victorious in a hard-fought battle with "Terrific" Terry Taylor in the opening bout tonight on Superstars, ending a grudge between the two that has been bubbling away since September. In an interview with Sean Mooney after the show, Tatanka said that after seeing off Taylor, he could now get back on track and focus on returning to title contention in the WWF. Tonight Crush became the first man to throw his name in the hat and enter the 1994 Royal Rumble. Remember, the stakes in the Rumble are high as the winner gets to challenge for the WWF Title in the main event of WrestleMania. This week on an action-packed edition of Monday Night RAW, Quebecer Jacques takes on one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions Scott Steiner, the Great Muta battles Virgil and Big Van Vader will go up against not one man, but two! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/06/08 at 20:28:37 Monday Night RAW December 20th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Skinner pinned Buddy Wayne with the Gatorbreaker in 0:01:57. Rating: -1/4* After the match, Skinner's recent mean streak continued as he drilled Buddy Wayne with a further two Gatorbreakers. The Alligator Man was jeered out of the building by the disgusted fans in attendance. Great Muta pinned Virgil with the Moonsault Press in 0:07:47. Rating: * Another vignette promoting the debut of country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett was shown. The Lightning Kid pinned Barry Horowitz with the Lightning Bolt in 0:03:05. Rating: 1/2 A video package recapping the feud between The Undertaker and The Birdman aired. They'll settle their grudge next week on Monday Night RAW in a Casket Match. Handicap-Match: Big Van Vader defeated Dan Dubiel and Gary Scott when Vader pinned D. Dubiel with the Vader Bomb in 0:03:15. Rating: 3/4* [Harley Race interfered against Dan Dubiel.] Big Van Vader made mincemeat out of his two hapless opponents here tonight, finally putting them out of their misery with a Vader Bomb on Dan Dubiel. After the match, as Dan Dubiel was loaded onto a stretcher, Big Van Vader attacked the medical staff. Vader then power bombed Gary Scott onto Dubiel, who was laid out on the gurney. Harley Race yelled into the camera that Bret Hart had to return some time, and when he does the Hitman will have to face his indestructible mastodon! Quebecer Jacques defeated Scott Steiner by disqualification in 0:07:11. Rating: ** 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Scott Steiner.] Quebecer Jacques was victorious in this one-on-one encounter when Jimmy Hart threw his megaphone to him. However, Scott Steiner intercepted the throw and clocked Jacques with the megaphone, getting himself disqualified. After the match, Scott Steiner took a wild swing at Jimmy Hart with the megaphone, before smashing it into pieces on the canvas in sheer frustration as the show went off-air. Circuit information: Quebecer Jacques emerged as in the winner in our main event tonight when Scott Steiner lost control and decked him with Jimmy Hart's megaphone, leaving the official with no option but to disqualify Scott. Scott was angry with himself after the bout as The Quebecers continue to mess with the minds of the champions heading in to their Tag Team Title showdown next week. Can Rick Steiner gain a measure of payback when he goes one-on-one with Pierre this weekend on Superstars? Big Van Vader showed tonight that not even two men are enough to stop him as he annihilated Dan Dubiel and Gary Scott in a handicap squash. Harley Race has accused Bret "Hitman" Hart of pretending that his rib injury is worse than it actually is so Hart doesn't have to defend the WWF Championship against Vader. You know as well as I do that the very idea of the Hitman feigning injury is proposterous and Hart is eager to return to action as soon as possible so he can earn some retribution for Vader cracking two of his ribs.
Grappler	Posted on 06/14/08 at 20:26:47 We've slowed down considerably here, I hope that doesn't mean that this circuit has stalled. :o
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/17/08 at 19:41:14 WWF Superstars December 25th, 1993 War Memorial, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Vince McMahon opened the show wishing all WWF fans throughout the world a very Happy Christmas. Quebecer Pierre defeated Rick Steiner by countout in 0:07:47. Rating: * 3/4 [Quebecer Jacques interfered against Rick Steiner.] Quebecer Pierre stole one when this match-up spilled to the floor. Rick Steiner gave chase to Pierre around the ring, but when Pierre rolled back in his tag team partner Jacques emerged from underneath the ring and shoved the Dogfaced Gremlin into the ringpost! Rick was subsequently counted out, as Jimmy Hart's men go two for two in singles competition against the Tag Team Champions with just one week to go until their title match. Shawn Michaels pinned Mike Moraldo with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:02:44. Rating: 1/2 Another vignette promoting the debut of country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett was shown. Lex Luger pinned Pat Tanaka with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:03:13. Rating: During the match, Lex Luger cut an insert promo vowing to mark a year of being in the WWF by winning the Royal Rumble. A video package was shown documenting the feud between The Undertaker and The Birdman. The Birdman then cut a promo, vowing to bury The Undertaker in their Casket Match this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Max Moon pinned Who with the Flying Back Bodypress in 0:04:20. Rating: DUD Bam Bam Bigelow cut a promo, responding to Razor Ramon's challenge from last week. Bigelow asked the Bad Guy that as Ramon has failed to beat him on two occasions already for the title, why does Ramon think that he'll get lucky this time? The Beast from the East decided to grant Razor his wish, provided that once Bigelow beats him, Ramon stays true to his word and never asks for another Intercontinental Title match ever again. Tito Santana pinned Blake Beverly after a German suplex in 0:08:51. Rating: ** 3/4 [The Genius interfered against Tito Santana.] Backstage, the irate Steiner Brothers cut an intense promo on The Quebecers, saying that their luck will run out next week. Scott Steiner vowed to avenge every single one of the cheap losses that Jacques and Pierre had inflicted on them, while Rick added that the Quebecers have absolutely no chance of taking their titles. Circuit information: The Quebecers were not in the World Wrestling Federation long when they challenged Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers to a shot at the titles. Since then, Jacques and Pierre have defeated the Steiners in a non-title match, eliminated them from their Survivor Series match and beat them in singles competition. Sure, they have used questionable tactics to get the job done at times, but we have never seen the Steiners dominated like this. The Steiners have obviously been completely taken off their game by The Quebecers and if they don't focus then by this time next week they'll be ex-champions. Bam Bam Bigelow has apparently agreed to give Razor Ramon one final crack at the Intercontinental Championship. The time limit has ran out on Ramon in their previous two encounters, but perhaps Bigelow needs this match to prove to himself that he can defeat the Bad Guy decisively. Make sure you tune in to Monday Night RAW this week, where for the first time in WWF history we'll bring you a Casket Match on television as The Undertaker battles the Birdman in the final chapter to their feud! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/17/08 at 19:45:08 Monday Night RAW December 27th, 1993 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a video building up tonight's main event - a Casket Match between The Undertaker and The Birdman! The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) when Victor pinned Billy Gunn with the Moonsault in 0:11:07. Rating: * [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bart Gunn.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Billy Gunn.] A highlights package aired hyping up the long-awaited WWF Tag Team Title Match this weekend on Superstars between the Steiner Brothers and The Quebecers. The final vignette promoting the debut of Jeff Jarrett, showing Jarrett at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, was shown. Jarrett will be on Monday Night RAW next week! Before the next contest, Friar Ferguson once again led the crowd in a prayer for the injured Berzerker. However, while he was praying, Ferguson was attacked from behind by Irwin R. Schyster and their bout was underway! Irwin R. Schyster pinned Friar Ferguson after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:06:58. Rating: 1/2 IRS was victorious when he smashed the mad monk in the face with his briefcase after the referee took a bump. Schyster was booed mercilessly after the match. It was announced that Razor Ramon will meet Bam Bam Bigelow for the Intercontinental Title next week on the first edition of Monday Night RAW of 1994. WWF President Jack Tunney has added a 30 minute time limit to this match, as the previous two encounters have failed to determine a clear winner in the alloted time. The Bushwhackers made their way out for their match to a nice ovation, but they were blindsided by Big Van Vader! Vader completely destroyed Luke and Butch, planting both men with power bombs. Vader then placed Luke on top of Butch and drilled both with a Vader Bomb! Harley Race took the mic and said that every man that Vader puts in the hospital is because of Bret Hart. Race warned that this path of destruction will continue until the Hitman gives Vader a shot at the WWF Title. Casket Match: The Undertaker defeated The Birdman in 0:12:31. Rating: ** 3/4 [Paul Bearer interfered against The Birdman.] This was a good brawl between two of the most sinister men on the roster. During the match, The Undertaker and The Birdman took the fight up the aisle to the entrance way. As Paul Bearer looked on from ringside, he was jumped by Papa Shango and Madusa! Shango floored Bearer with a punch and stole his urn, before he and Madusa escaped through the crowd! This didn't make much difference to the outcome of the battle, as 'Taker Tombstoned the Birdman and rolled him into the casket to end their feud. The Undertaker helped his manager back to his feet and went looking for Papa Shango immediately after the match. As Vince McMahon recapped the events of tonight's show, he was interrupted by his broadcast colleague "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Savage said that he had had a tough year, but not as tough as that of his wife Elizabeth, who had suffered a terrible ordeal at the hands of Papa Shango this past summer. Savage said that he and Elizabeth had come through a difficult period which had put a strain on their relationship. Savage added that he wanted to reaffirm his love for his wife and revealed that in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW - on the one year anniversary of the show - he and Elizabeth will renew their wedding vows! Bobby Heenan thought that he was going to throw up and he and Savage got into an argument while Vince McMahon tried to play peacemaker as RAW went off-air! Circuit information: The Undertaker closed the lid on The Birdman - and the ugly feud between the two superstars - when he won tonight's Casket Match. However, the bout was marred by Papa Shango, along with his voodoo queen Madusa, attacking Paul Bearer from behind and stealing the sacred urn. The urn has been the source of The Undertaker's power since he debuted in the WWF three years ago and he will want it back desperately. But what could the voodoo priest Papa Shango want with it?! We are very much looking forward to marking the milestone first anniversary of Monday Night RAW on January 10th and it is certain to be a very special occassion as Randy Savage and Elizabeth will renew their vows on the show! But before that, on next week's show Bam Bam Bigelow defends the Intercontinental Title against Razor Ramon. Twice these two men have battled over the title and no winner was determined after fifteen or twenty minutes. This time, WWF President Jack Tunney has extended the time limit to thirty minutes - surely this will be long enough to separate these two superstars?! Irwin R. Schyster has given notice. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Don't miss this weekend's edition of WWF Superstars, where The Steiner Brothers defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Jimmy Hart's Quebecers!
Grappler	Posted on 06/20/08 at 03:33:12 Congratulations on making it through one year of a most excellent circuit! Too bad about IRS leaving, but I suppose his role has really been usurped by Barry Windham anyway. It would be interesting to see DiBiase and Windham combining to make the all-new Money Inc. Also looking forward to how you handle Jeff Jarrett as well. He never really got a decent shot to break through that glass ceiling in the Federation. I could easily see him wearing the World Title by 1995, and a feud between JJ and the Hitman could be really intriguing. Thanks again, and the best of luck in 1994.

I have been thinking the same thing. We never got a Double J/Hitman feud (at least a proper one anyway), and I know the King can deliver on this, if that is his wish. Congrats all around, believe it or not, I am way more interested in this WWF than the real WWE. Makes me remember why I am a fan of the business.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/22/08 at 12:56:15 WWF Superstars January 1st, 1994 War Memorial, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with promos from The Quebecers and The Steiner Brothers ahead of their huge WWF Tag Team Title Match on tonight's show. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) when R. Steiner pinned Jacques after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:17:12. Rating: *** 1/2 (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [Jimmy Hart interfered against Rick Steiner.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Scott Steiner.] The Steiner Brothers turned back a tough challenge from the unscrupulous Quebecers tonight on Superstars as the brothers from Michigan retained their titles once again. The Quebecers had seemed to have the number of the Steiners in recent weeks, but when the gold is on the line Rick and Scott look unbeatable. Is there a better tag team in the world today? The final vignette promoting the debut of Jeff Jarrett, showing Jarrett at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, was shown. Jarrett will be on Monday Night RAW this coming week! Typhoon pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Big Splash in 0:04:36. Rating: * 1/2 A vignette was shown for a new tag team coming to the World Wrestling Federation - The Hollywood Blonds - "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman. Pillman and Austin were in a movie theatre, dressed in matching silver waistcoats with giant stars emblazoned on them. The duo were acting like movie directors - complete with clapperboards - and talked about "brushing with greatness". Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty defeated Double Trouble (Val Puccio and Tony Puccio) when Jannetty pinned Val with the Rocker Dropper in 0:07:52. Rating: ** 3/4 Vince McMahon closed the show by previewing this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where Razor Ramon gets his final shot at the Intercontinental Title when he faces Bam Bam Bigelow! Circuit information: The Steiner Brothers have held the WWF Tag Team Championships for almost a year and after destroying the Quebecers tonight, they are well on their way to establishing themselves as the most dominant tag team in WWF history. Many people were predicting a title switch tonight, but the Steiners were all business, wreaking havoc on Jacques and Pierre with their amazing arsenal of suplexes and devastating wrestling moves. The Quebecers may have gotten in the heads of the Steiners in recent weeks, but they were in the wrong place at the wrong time tonight. Who will be next to step up to the plate and challenge the Steiners? It's Razor Ramon's last chance this week on Monday Night RAW as he battles Bam Bam Bigelow for the Intercontinental Championship! Remember, if Ramon fails to win the gold then he'll never ask for another title shot again! Don't miss it!
Grappler	Posted on 06/22/08 at 19:27:31 Why do I have a feeling the Hollywood Blondes might be wanting those belts around the Steiners' waists?
DJ Unright	Posted on 06/24/08 at 18:42:49 I'm intrigued by the possibility of a Friar Ferguson/Bezerker tag team...
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/24/08 at 20:00:30 Monday Night RAW January 3rd, 1994 Coliseum, Richmond, VA Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a video package building up Ramon-Bigelow III. Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon battled to a draw in 0:30:00. Rating: **** 1/4 (Bam Bam Bigelow retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon battled each other for thirty gripping minutes here tonight on Monday Night RAW, but for the third occasion the time limit expired and we were still unable to separate the two. As the time ticked away, Ramon trapped Bigelow in a succession of pinning combinations, but the Beast from the East managed to roll a shoulder each time. With seconds remaining, the Bad Guy set Bigelow up for the Razor's Edge, but Bigelow backdropped Ramon over the top rope to the floor. Bigelow collapsed to the mat exhausted as the bell sounded, signalling the end of the contest. Knowing that he had blown his final shot at the Intercontinental Title, Razor Ramon went into a fit of rage at ringside. He shoved the timekeeper out of his chair and smashed the chair against the ringpost repeatedly. Ramon then kicked the steel steps over and stormed off to the back. Back from commercial and Jerry "The King" Lawler was in the ring, ready to host another edition of the King's Court. Lawler introduced tonight's guest on the show - "The Model" Rick Martel. Martel - who has been sidelined since July with a torn left quadriceps - came out dressed in street clothes and received a mixed reception from the crowd. Martel said that his recovery was going well and he hoped to fit for the Royal Rumble. Just then, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett - making his debut - strutted to the ring wearing a flashing "Double J" hat and ring attire! Jarrett was accompanied by his manager, Tennessee Lee. Jarrett took the mic and said that nobody cared about Martel or his little injury; the WWF was now all about Jeff Jarrett. Tennessee Lee had one question for Rick Martel - "ain't he great?" Annoyed by the interruption, Martel confronted Lee, demanding that he teach his boy how to show some respect, or else the Model would have to do it for him. Jarrett seized the opportunity to kick Martel in his injured quad as the fans booed him out of the building! Jerry Lawler was in stitches as Double J locked Martel in a figure-four leglock, further punishing Martel's injured leg! Tennessee Lee got in Rick Martel's face as the Model writhed around on the canvas in agony. Suddenly, Tito Santana ran out from the back to make the unlikely save for his former tag team partner and great rival! Santana cleared the ring of Jarrett and Lee, before helping Rick Martel back to his feet and out of the ring. A vignette was shown promoting the debut of "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, The Hollywood Blonds. Skinner pinned Scott Taylor with his special move in 0:03:14. Rating: * 3/4 After pinning Scott Taylor by spitting a mouthful of tobacco juice in his face, Skinner drilled him with a Gatorbreaker. Skinner set Wayne up for another, when Nailz ran out from the back and ran the Alligator Man out of the ring! Nailz then ripped off his orange prison garb - revealing black wrestling tights and boots - and called for the mic. Nailz said he wanted to be known by his real name - Kevin Kelly - and said that he had done his time and was now a reformed criminal! Kelly said that in his rehabilitation period, he learned all about self-discipline and teaching others with respect. Kelly said that he could tell by the looks on the fans' faces that they didn't believe him, but he vowed to prove himself to them and show that he is truly a changed man. Big Van Vader and Harley Race cut a promo on WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, challenging him to a title match at the Royal Rumble. Vince McMahon hyped up next week's edition of Monday Night RAW, which is the one year anniversary of the show! McMahon revealed that The Steiner Brothers will defend the WWF Tag Team Titles against the Arabian Butchers on the show, plus Randy Savage and his wife Elizabeth will renew their wedding vows! The Macho Man said that he couldn't wait to tell the world how much he loves his wife and he would do just that next week. Meanwhile, Bobby Heenan made vomiting noises. Friar Ferguson pinned Irwin R. Schyster with the Missionary Position in 0:04:42. Rating: ** Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow gloated in Razor Ramon's failure to take the Intercontinental Title. Bigelow said that Ramon had had three shots at the title, but now tonight's was his last and he'd never get another crack at the championship again! The Beast from the East claimed that the title was staying with him for a long time to come. Circuit information: When a dejected Razor Ramon left the building tonight, he refused all requests for an interview. Ramon has challenged Bam Bam Bigelow on three separate occasions for the Intercontinental Title over the past few months, but each time the time limit expired and the Bad Guy failed to get the job done. Ramon has recorded several pinfalls over Bigelow recently, but never when it has really mattered - when the gold has been on the line - and this is exactly why the Bad Guy is so crestfallen. What next for Razor Ramon? "Double J" Jeff Jarrett finally made his WWF debut tonight after months of vignettes and it is a first appearance that Rick Martel will certainly never forget. Jarrett attacked Martel's injured quadriceps muscle, locking him in a figure-four and doing more damage. Martel, who was hoping to return to action at the Royal Rumble, has now been ruled out of that event. Who would have predicted that Tito Santana would make the save for his long time adversary Martel? That event was shocking in itself. Kevin Kelly - the former Nailz - seems to have turned over a new leaf as he came to the aid of poor Scott Taylor, who was on the receiving end of Skinner's bullying tactics. Many people within the WWF are sceptical at Kelly's new attitude, as Nailz was one of the most vicious and uncaring superstars we have ever seen in the World Wrestling Federation. Friar Ferguson gained a measure of revenge on IRS tonight after Schyster pinned him on last week's show after hitting him with his briefcase. This was the taxman's last night with the company.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/28/08 at 14:43:45 WWF Superstars January 8th, 1994 Auditorium, Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Footage was shown from two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, when Papa Shango and Madusa attacked Paul Bearer during Undertaker's Casket Match with the Birdman and stole the sacred urn. The Undertaker pinned TNT with the Tombstone in 0:03:57. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, The Undertaker called out Papa Shango and demanded that he return the urn. Shango's music hit and he and Madusa appeared at the interview podium in a cloud of smoke! Shango said that he wouldn't give the urn back, as the urn was not required any longer. Shango put over The Undertaker as the most powerful, physically intimidating "zombie" that the world had ever seen. Shango said that as a voodoo priest, he creates "zombies". Papa Shango then dropped a bombshell, claiming that he was the man who resurrected The Undertaker and it was him who holds all control over the Man from the Darkside!! Paul Bearer refuted Shango's claims and pleaded with the Undertaker not to listen to Papa Shango! Shango went into one of his voodoo trances, causing the lights in the arena to cut out!! When they came back on, The Undertaker had his hand clasped around Paul Bearer's throat! As the crowd looked on in disbelief, 'Taker drilled his manager with a choke slam! Papa Shango laughed evilly at the podium and shot fire into the air! The Undertaker walked over to the podium, dropped to one knee and did the urn pose as Shango continued to cackle! Big Boss Man pinned Jason Knight with the Boss Man Slam in 0:03:04. Rating: 3/4* During the bout, Big Boss Man cut an insert promo, saying that Kevin Kelly would never be a changed man and would always be the scourge of society. Boss Man closed by announcing that he was entering the Royal Rumble match. Great Muta pinned John Crystal after a bodyslam in 0:03:25. Great Muta tore his right quadricep muscle. He will be out for approximately 6 months. Rating: 1/2* Mr. Fuji cut a promo along with his Arabian Butchers, vowing to lead them to Tag Team Title glory this coming week on the first anniversary of Monday Night RAW. Vince McMahon hyped up the one year anniversary of RAW this Monday night, where not only will The Steiner Brothers defend the Tag Team Titles against the Arabian Butchers, but "Macho Man" Randy Savage will renew his wedding vows with the first lady of wrestling, the lovely Elizabeth! Doink the Clown pinned Bert Centeno with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:04:33. Rating: * A vignette was shown promoting the debut of "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, The Hollywood Blonds. Tazmaniac pinned Steve Smith after a German suplex in 0:04:24. Rating: 1/2* [Kim Chee interfered against Steve Smith.] Circuit information: The shocking news coming out of tonight's show is that the voodoo priest Papa Shango appears to have control of The Undertaker, completely negating the power of the urn! Shango appeared to place a hex on the Undertaker and the Deadman proceeded to choke slam his longtime manager Paul Bearer! If Shango is indeed in charge of the Man from the Darkside, then this does not bode well for the World Wrestling Federation! During his match tonight, The Great Muta suffered a torn right quadricep muscle. Muta managed to finish the bout, but is now expected to be out of action for a minimum of six months. Many WWF superstars' contracts expired this weekend. Most talent signed new contracts; however, Terry Taylor, Yokozuna, Kamala and The Bushwhackers have opted not to re-sign with the company. We wish all the very best in their future endeavours. We'll be in a party mood this week on Monday Night RAW as we celebrate the first anniversary of the show! "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Elizabeth will renew their wedding vows on the show, plus the Steiner Brothers defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against Mr. Fuji's dangerous and sadistic Arabian Butchers! I'm sure there'll be plenty of shocks and surprises in store - don't you dare miss it!!
Unright	Posted on 07/01/08 at 02:48:26 Muta injured and Yokozuna gone? Mr. Fuji's stable has shrunk considerably. Love the Papa Shango/Undertaker angle. Keep up the good work.

The one year anniversary show of Monday Night Raw began with a touching video package documenting the romance between Macho Man Randy Savage and his wife Elizabeth, all set to the song "Together" which was performed at their wedding at SummerSlam '91. After enduring a difficult year, Savage and Elizabeth will renew their wedding vows on tonight's show. Vince McMahon hyped up tonight's WWF Tag Team Title Match between champions The Steiner Brothers and the Arabian Butchers, which starts the show. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when R. Steiner pinned Victor with the Steiner Bulldog in 0:18:55. Rating: * (The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [Mr. Fuji interfered against Rick Steiner.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Scott Steiner.] The Steiner Brothers retained the WWF Tag Team Titles in an extremely tough encounter with the dangerous Arabian Butchers. After some chicanery from Mr. Fuji, Manuel and Victor appeared as though they might snare the gold, but the Steiners emerged victorious after drilling Victor with the Steiner Bulldog. As the Steiners celebrated their victory, Vince McMahon climbed into the ring to conduct an interview with the champs. McMahon congratulated Rick and Scott on holding the belts for a year, as they captured the titles on the very first edition of Monday Night RAW one year ago to the day. Only two other tag teams in history have every achieved this feat and the Steiner Brothers are now just six days short of Jimmy and Johnny Valiant's record of 370. Scott Steiner said that he and his brother would continue to rewrite the history books and cement their rightful place as the greatest tag team in professional wrestling history. Rick took the mic and vowed that the Steiners would never lose the Tag Team Titles and would maintain accepting the challenge of all comers - any time, any place, any where! "Prove it!", a voice spoke from somewhere in the arena. As the Steiner Brothers looked around, the roof almost came off the Coliseum as The British Bulldogs - Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid - made their way out from the back!! Dynamite Kid put the Steiners over as one hell of a team, but added that he and Davey Boy like to think of themselves as one of the top tag teams in history. Dynamite challenged Rick and Scott to establish themselves as the very best by putting the gold on the line against the Bulldogs right here tonight! The crowd were going crazy as The Steiners, who didn't need to be challenged twice, laid the tag team title belts on the mat and told the Bulldogs to get in the ring! The official called for the bell, signalling the start of this impromptu second WWF Tag Team Title match of the evening!! The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) when Dynamite Kid pinned R. Steiner with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:05:36. Rating: 1/2 (The British Bulldogs won the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) Unbelievable!! The British Bulldogs returned to the World Wrestling Federation tonight after a five year absence and on their first night back, they steamrollered the Steiner Brothers in just over five minutes to capture the WWF Tag Team Titles!! Davey Boy Smith countered Scott's Frankensteiner attempt with a power bomb, before blasting Rick with a running powerslam. Dynamite Kid then connected with his beautiful flying headbutt and we have new tag team champions!! The British Bulldogs basked in the glory of their title win and the fans gave them a standing ovation. Another vignette was shown promoting the debut of "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, The Hollywood Blonds. Randy Savage was shown backstage getting ready for the service of renewal of wedding vows. Big Van Vader pinned Kamala after a short lariat in 0:03:45. Rating: 1/4 [Harley Race interfered against Kamala.] Big Van Vader methodically took Kamala apart and scored the win in under four minutes with a short lariat. After the match, Vader continued to assault the Ugandan Giant, punishing him with a Vader Bomb. Harley Race told Vader to go back up again, when suddenly Bret Hart made his way through the crowd and into the ring! The Hitman tackled Vader down to the mat and pasted him with a flurry of punches! Big van Vader, who had his nose bloodied, fired back with body shots of his own as the two men brawled around the ring! It took an army of referees and road agents to separate the two men, as the fans - who wanted to see Hart and Vader fight - voiced their disapproval. While the ring crew decorated the square circle in preparation for the service, Friar Ferguson appeared in the aisleway for the first edition of his new segment, the Sermon. After the ringing of several bells, Ferguson stood behind a pulpit, produced a prayer book and blessed Randy Savage and Elizabeth, wishing them every happiness together. Ferguson added that we have something else to celebrate tonight and brought out a giant birthday cake! The mad monk was about to wish Monday Night RAW a happy birthday when he was interrupted by Jerry "The King" Lawler, who objected to somebody else having an interview segment on the show. Ferguson ended the segment by throwing the cake into Lawler's face! It was now time for Randy Savage and Elizabeth to renew their wedding vows. The ring was bedecked in pink and other wedding accoutrements as the WWF superstars took their seats in the aisle. Macho Man Randy Savage made his way out to cheers from the crowd, dressed in a black suit with a cowboy hat which had a feather that was over a foot long! Elizabeth then walked the aisle, looking absolutely stunning in her beautiful wedding dress. The priest kicked off the ceremony and with a tear in his eye, Randy Savage completed his vows. When it was time for Elizabeth to say her vows, she appeared hesitant and nervous. Savage told her to relax, but Elizabeth said she couldn't do this!! Savage told her it was just nerves and to take her time, but Elizabeth was adamant! Elizabeth shocked the world by conceding that she doesn't love Randy any more...and that she's met somebody else!! Wedding: Randy Savage and Elizabeth's wedding was cancelled when Elizabeth bailed out in 0:10:06. Stunned and dismayed, Randy Savage grabbed his wife's hands and demanded to know who Elizabeth was seeing. In tears, Elizabeth begged Savage not to do this now. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels popped out of his seat and rolled into the ring! He spun Savage around and decked the Macho Man with a vicious superkick! Elizabeth and Michaels looked at each other, before Elizabeth ran into his arms and the two shared a passionate kiss! The fans were booing this mercilessly and trash was being thrown into the ring! The Heartbreak Kid picked Elizabeth up and carried her up the aisle, before stopping at the entrance way and locking lips again! Everyone in the arena was in total and complete disbelief as Randy Savage lay despondent and disconsolate on the canvas, a broken man. Circuit information: The one year anniversary show of Monday Night RAW will go down in history as one of the most shocking and unpredictable nights ever in sports entertainment! It all began with a WWF Tag Team Title defence from the Steiner Brothers, who successfully held on to the straps in a brutal encounter with the Arabian Butchers. As the Steiners proclaimed themselves to be the greatest team in wrestling history, they were interrupted by former tag team champions the British Bulldogs, who made their unexpected return to the World Wrestling Federation tonight. Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith then challenged the Steiners to a title match and just under six minutes later, new champions were crowned! The Bulldogs snared the gold for a second time, ending Rick and Scott Steiner's phenomenal one year reign as champs. The Steiners are determined to secure a rematch and reclaim the tag team titles at the earliest available opportunity. WWF Champion Bret Hart returned to our screens tonight, attacking Big Van Vader after the mastodon had destroyed Kamala in the Ugandan Giant's last match with the company. Vader had put the Hitman on the shelf with a couple of cracked ribs this past November and the WWF Champion was determined to beat some revenge out of Vader tonight. We can exclusively reveal that Big Van Vader and Harley Race have got what they wanted, as WWF President Jack Tunney has announced that Vader will challenge Bret Hart for the WWF Title at the Royal Rumble! Then, in perhaps one of the most astonishing and unthinkable events in WWF history, Macho Man Randy Savage's wife Elizabeth revealed that she had been having an affair when the couple should have been renewing their wedding vows! When Savage pressed his wife about who she was cheating on him with, Shawn Michaels unveiled himself to be that man with a superkick to the Macho Man's jaw! Michaels and Elizabeth then shared an embrace and left together, appalling the entire wrestling world!! We are certain to be feeling the effects of this momentous evening for a long time to come. Here's the current card for the Royal Rumble, which is live on pay-per-view from the Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island on January 22nd, 1994: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader 30-man Royal Rumble Match** Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania X! Participants announced so far: Crush, Lex Luger, Big Boss Man, Papa Shango and The Undertaker Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
Thnikkaman	Posted on 07/03/08 at 02:17:07 Everything about the one year celebration was a win. Had a feeling someone was bailing on the wedding, but was completely surprised it was Liz and for her to be with Shawn is gold. Glad to see something for the good Friar as well. Bret v. Vader for the Royal Rumble seems to be rolling along at a good pace, and the shock value of the Bulldogs was huge. Keep it up King.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/05/08 at 17:00:32 WWF Superstars January 15th, 1994 Auditorium, Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. This week's edition of WWF Superstars began with the Smoking Gunns coming out for a tag team match. When Billy and Bart entered the ring, the lights suddenly went out, casting the arena into darkness! Papa Shango's music hit and when the lights came back on, The Undertaker was in the ring with each hand wrapped around the throat of the Gunns! Shango laughed evilly in the corner of the ring and sent flames into the air as the Deadman planted Billy and Bart with a double choke slam! Shango took the mic and said with him controlling The Undertaker, they would wreak havoc in the Royal Rumble match! Mr. Perfect pinned Corey Student with the Perfect Plex in 0:05:51. Rating: During the bout, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble. A sitdown interview aired with The British Bulldogs, conducted by "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith discussed the problems that had arose between the two after leaving the WWF at the end of 1988, which resulted in Davey Boy pulling out of a tag team tournament in Japan and returning to the Federation. Dynamite passionately despised Smith for a long time afterward. Dynamite talked about his severe back injury that had forced him to temporarily retire from the ring in 1991. Dynamite and Davey Boy insisted that all their problems were behind them and they are back and better than ever. Footage was shown from last week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where the Bulldogs made their shocking return to the WWF and they dethroned the Steiner Brothers to capture the WWF Tag Team Titles for the second time. The Bulldogs said that they have all the respect in the world for the Steiners and offered them a rematch for the titles at the earliest available opportunity. Tatanka pinned Jeff Gaylord with the End of the Trail in 0:03:17. Rating: * 1/4 During this bout, Tatanka cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble. Before the next match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Bam Bam Bigelow took the mic and reiterated the fact that on three occasions, Razor Ramon had failed to take the title from him. Bigelow added that the Bad Guy had blown his chance and would receive no further shots at the gold. The Beast from the East then attacked his masked opponent from Mexico, El Chico Malo. El Chico Malo pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after an inside cradle in 0:05:30. Rating: 1/2 Bam Bam Bigelow toyed with his opponent here and dragged out the beating for longer than was necessary. However, Bigelow missed his flying headbutt when El Chico Malo rolled out of harm's way and then the masked man rolled up Bigelow for the three count!! The crowd exploded with laugher as Bam Bam Bigelow suffered the most embarrassing loss of his career to date! El Chico Malo bailed out of the ring and ran up the aisle, before stopping and pulling off his mask to reveal...RAZOR RAMON!!! Ramon had pinned Bigelow yet again!!! Bigelow was apoplectic with rage while the fans chanted, "One more match!" The Lightning Kid pinned Pat Tanaka with the Lightning Bolt in 0:06:12. Rating: 1/4 During this bout, the Lighting Kid cut an insert promo about appearing in the Royal Rumble, saying he would cause the greatest upset in history by winning the event and challenging for the WWF Title at WrestleMania X. Backstage, Sean Mooney caught up with an irate Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow expressed the humiliation he had suffered in recent weeks, culminating in tonight's embarrassment at the hands of Razor Ramon. Bigelow said that although Ramon has failed to take the Beast from the East's title, Bigelow had been reminded by the fans time and time again that he was yet to conclusively defeat the Bad Guy - every title match had ended in a time limit draw. Bigelow said that was going to demand one final match with Razor Ramon from Jack Tunney, so he can get that decisive victory over Ramon that he craves so badly. Circuit information: Bam Bam Bigelow thought he had been defeated tonight by a rookie masked Mexican wrestler named El Chico Malo, but it actually turned out to be Razor Ramon in disguise, who pinned Bigelow yet again! Bigelow should have known it was a ruse, as "El Chico Malo" is Spanish for "The Bad Guy"! Bigelow is desperate to conclusively defeat Razor Ramon once and for all, while Ramon would love nothing more than to get another opportunity at Bigelow's Intercontinental Championship. Jack Tunney is expected to make an announcement sometime early next week. There will be a rematch for the WWF Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble, as new champions The British Bulldogs defend against the Steiner Brothers. This bout will certainly be eagerly anticipated. How will the Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith contend with Rick and Scott, who unlike last time will be fresh and raring to go? Since stealing him away from Paul Bearer and seizing control of The Undertaker, Papa Shango is leading the Deadman on a path of destruction through the World Wrestling Federation. The Smoking Gunns felt the wrath of the 'Taker tonight; in the Royal Rumble match, you can bet that many more will at the hands of the Man from the Darkside! Here's the current card for the Royal Rumble, which is live on pay-per-view from the Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island on January 22nd, 1994: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader WWF Tag Team Championship: The British Bulldogs vs. The Steiner Brothers 30-man Royal Rumble Match Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania X! Participants announced so far: Crush, Lex Luger, Big Boss Man, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka, Lightning Kid, Papa Shango and The Undertaker

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/07/08 at 18:15:01 Monday Night RAW January 17th, 1994 Coliseum, Richmond, VA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a recap of events from last Monday night's ceremony, where Randy Savage and Elizabeth were supposed to renew their wedding vows. However, Elizabeth refused to say her vows and instead shocked everyone in attendance and watching around the world when she revealed that she was having an affair! Shawn Michaels turned out to be Elizabeth's lover and he decked the Macho Man with a superkick! Vince McMahon announced that Randy Savage was in the building tonight. McMahon said that the Macho Man wants his wife Elizabeth to explain herself and he wants her to do so tonight on Monday Night RAW! Kevin Kelly pinned Skinner with the Going Straight in 0:06:25. Rating: * 1/4 Kevin Kelly - the reformed convict formerly known as Nailz - scored his first win tonight since finishing his rehabilitation process, pinning Skinner with a reverse Russian legsweep. The fans are still uncertain about Kelly. A Hollywood Blonds vignette was shown, with Brian Pillman and "Stunning" Steve Austin critiquing several WWF tag teams as if they were reviewing a movie. Vince McMahon then announced that the Blonds will make their debut at the Royal Rumble against the team of Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart. Footage was shown from two weeks ago where "Double J" Jeff Jarrett made his debut, interrupting an interview segment with Rick Martel and attacking him, further injuring Martel's left leg and forcing him out of the Royal Rumble. Jarrett makes his in-ring debut tonight on Monday Night RAW. Jeff Jarrett made Glen Ruth submit to the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:03:00. Rating: * 1/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Glen Ruth.] After the match, Tennessee Lee took the mic and announced that Jeff Jarrett was going to enter - and win - the Royal Rumble this Saturday. WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was interviewed by Sean Mooney. The Hitman said that he had lost all respect for Harley Race after Race had set him up this past November, resulting in Big Van Vader debuting and doing a number on the champion, an assault in which Hart cracked a pair of ribs. Hart said that he was facing his toughest challenge as WWF Champion this Saturday at the Royal Rumble, as Vader has shown in recent weeks that he is indeed an unstoppable beast. However, the Hitman vowed to tame the beast, chop him down and tie Vader up in the Sharpshooter, en route to retaining the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Adam Bomb pinned Gus Kentaroccus with the Atom Smasher in 0:01:10. Rating: 3/4* Harvey Wippleman made his way over to the announcers' table after the bout and put over the roll that Adam Bomb has been on as of late. Wippleman claimed that his Creation of Devastation would be victorious in the Royal Rumble match. Gene Okerlund hosted a special Royal Rumble report, in which he revealed that WWF President Jack Tunney had booked an Intercontinental Title Match between Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon at the Royal Rumble. Tunney has added a special stipulation to this contest - there will be no time limit and there must be a winner! Lex Luger pinned Earthquake with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:08:56. Rating: * 1/4 Big Van Vader and Harley Race cut a promo. Race said that since he had debuted in the World Wrestling Federation, Vader has crushed everything in his path...including Bret Hart. Race added that whatever Vader wants, he takes - and he wants the WWF Championship. Race said that there is nothing the Hitman can do about it, while Vader filled up the screen and yelled that at the Royal Rumble, it will be Vader Time!! "Macho Man" Randy Savage made his way out to the ring in street clothes and took the mic. He was given a nice ovation by the capacity crowd on hand. Savage said that Elizabeth wasn't returning any of his calls, so he had showed up tonight to demand answers from his wife. Savage said that he wants to know why Elizabeth has left him and why she is turning her back on two and half years of marriage. The Macho Man added that he wants an explanation, because his wife owes him that much. A tearful Elizabeth then walked down the aisle and entered the ring. Elizabeth said that for the last two and half years, their marriage was always about one person - Randy Savage. The crowd booed as Elizabeth claimed that Savage had gone back on every promise he had ever made to her. She said that Savage told her he had retired from wrestling, but he was reinstated as an active wrestler a few months later. She said that Savage said he would always look after her, yet Papa Shango had managed to abduct her. When Savage should have been at home looking after her following that terrible event, Elizabeth said that he was only interested on getting back at Shango. Elizabeth claimed that now, she has found a man who worships the very ground she walks on. That man is Shawn Michaels, and Elizabeth revealed that they were in love! The fans jeered as Savage looked completely devastated. Elizabeth claimed that she was tired of hearing what Randy Savage wants all the time, so now she was going to tell him what she wants...a divorce!! Elizabeth threw the mic down and left the ring to a chorus of boos, while Savage dropped to his knees, heartbroken. The show went off air with the commentary team in stunned silence. Circuit information: The marriage of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Elizabeth is certainly over as tonight Elizabeth requested a divorce from her husband. Randy Savage is utterly disconsolate and I cannot even comprehend the state of mind he is in just now. Here's the current card for the Royal Rumble, which is live on pay-per-view from the Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island this Saturday, January 22nd, 1994: WWF Championship Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader Big Van Vader made an impact when he arrived on the scene this past November, sidelining WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart by cracking two of his ribs. A sadistic, physically intimidating mastodon known for his brutality, agility and strength, Vader has dominated everywhere he has been. Under the tutelage of Harley Race, Vader has stalked the Hitman and demanded a title opportunity. Vader will get that chance at the Royal Rumble this Saturday, in what will unquestionably be the biggest threat to Hart's reign as champion. Vader has crushed all competition in his WWF tenure thus far, sending scores of opponents to the hospital in the process. Will Bret Hart suffer the same fate? WWF Intercontinental Championship No Time Limit Match Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Razor Ramon The history between these two men is well documented. After a slew of pinfalls over the Intercontinental Champion, Razor Ramon earned three title shots against Bam Bam Bigelow, but on each occasion the time limit expired and Ramon came up short. Bigelow was satisfied with this until Ramon disguised himself as a masked Mexican enhancement talent and rolled Bigelow up, dealing an embarrassing loss to the Beast from the East. Bigelow needs to prove to himself that he can defeat Ramon, as the Bad Guy has had his number for months. Meanwhile, Ramon has been totally dedicated to snaring the Intercontinental Championship. One thing is for certain - there WILL be a decisive winner this Saturday at the Royal Rumble! WWF Tag Team Championship The British Bulldogs vs. The Steiner Brothers The British Bulldogs stunned the world - and the Steiners - when they made their WWF return two weeks ago after a five year absence. Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith challenged Rick and Scott to a Tag Team Title Match there and then, right after the Steiners had successfully defended their gold against the Arabian Butchers. The Bulldogs captured the belts and in the process looked better than ever, ending the Steiners' year long reign in just over five minutes. The Bulldogs claim that all their personal problems are now behind them and they are ready to take on all comers, starting with a rematch against the Steiner Brothers at the Royal Rumble. Unlike the last time they met, the Steiners will be at 100% when the two teams clash on Saturday - how will that affect the outcome of this one? Hollywood Blonds vs. Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty When Brian Pillman and "Stunning" Steve Austin make their WWF debut at the Royal Rumble, they'll be out to make a good first impression. But they won't have it easy when they take on the exciting young team of Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty. Pillman and Austin are brash and arrogant, but surely they won't underestimate their opponents on Saturday. 30-man Royal Rumble Match Winner gets a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania X! Participants announced so far: Crush, Lex Luger, Big Boss Man, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka, Lightning Kid, Jeff Jarrett, Adam Bomb, Papa Shango and The Undertaker It really is the most open Royal Rumble match in a long time and I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to who will win the event. Will it be Crush, who missed a large portion of last year with two severe concussions and is now eager to cement his position as a top contender? Will it be Adam Bomb, who has bounced back from losing his feud to The Undertaker last summer in impressive fashion and now looks to make it to the next level? How about Lex Luger, who had a highly successful debut year in the WWF but has lost steam recently? What about The Undertaker, who has been more dominating than ever since falling under the spell of Papa Shango? Jeff Jarrett has just arrived in the company and what better way to make an impact than by winning the Rumble match? Or can The Lightning Kid cause the biggest upset in WWF history? We'll all find out this Saturday night!! Join us live this Saturday night on pay-per-view for the Royal Rumble!! Till then, so long everybody!!
JoshiQ	Posted on 07/07/08 at 21:28:42 Let's see here, judging by the card and the build up I have to go with Vader winning the Title, Ramon winning the IC Title, the Bulldogs retaining...turning heel?, and the Hollywood Blondes going over Jannetty and Owen. The Undertaker might just win the Rumble leaving us with a WM X with Taker vs Vader. Just my guesses.
JoshiQ	Posted on 07/07/08 at 22:04:32 By the way, I think this definitely deserves it's own forum. I know I'm new to the forums, but have been around with TNM since...when did the TNM list start? '97? Anyways, Niemiller or Garrard, you guys should work on this. :) (Since you are the only two that still come here and probably know me.)
Snabbit888	Posted on 07/08/08 at 00:23:46 Shut up, Josh! I mean, hey buddy. :) Unfortunately, I don't have the power to create forums or anything like that. I can only move/delete/edit posts and that sort of thing.

Rating: * 1/2 [The Genius interfered against Duane Gill.] Circuit information: Here's the current card for the Royal Rumble, which is live on pay-per-view from the Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island tonight, Saturday, January 22nd, 1994: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader Big Van Vader made an impact when he arrived on the scene this past November, sidelining WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart by cracking two of his ribs. A sadistic, physically intimidating mastodon known for his brutality, agility and strength, Vader has dominated everywhere he has been. Under the tutelage of Harley Race, Vader has stalked the Hitman and demanded a title opportunity. Vader will get that chance at the Royal Rumble tonight, win what will unquestionably be the biggest threat to Hart's reign as champion. Vader has crushed all competition in his WWF tenure thus far, sending scores of opponents to the hospital in the process. Will Bret Hart suffer the same fate? WWF Intercontinental Championship No Time Limit Match: Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Razor Ramon The history between these two men is well documented. After a slew of pinfalls over the Intercontinental Champion, Razor Ramon earned three title shots against Bam Bam Bigelow, but on each occasion the time limit expired and Ramon came up short. Bigelow was satisfied with this until Ramon disguised himself as a masked Mexican enhancement talent and rolled Bigelow up, dealing an embarrassing loss to the Beast from the East. Bigelow needs to prove to himself that he can defeat Ramon, as the Bad Guy has had his number for months. Meanwhile, Ramon has been totally dedicated to snaring the Intercontinental Championship. One thing is for certain - there WILL be a decisive winner tonight at the Royal Rumble! WWF Tag Team Championship: The British Bulldogs vs. The Steiner Brothers The British Bulldogs stunned the world - and the Steiners - when they made their WWF return two weeks ago after a five year absence.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/11/08 at 18:22:17 WWF ROYAL RUMBLE 1994 January 22nd, 1994 Civic Center, Providence, Rhode Island Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart when S. Austin pinned Jannetty after the Atomic Blonds in 0:17:41. Rating: * 1/2 The 1994 Royal Rumble began with a thrilling battle between two young and hungry teams featuring four superstars with great futures ahead of them. The Hollywood Blonds were making their WWF debut and they managed to score the win, albeit in controversial circumstances. As Marty Jannetty climbed to the top rope and prepared to deliver a flying fistdrop, Brian Pillman knocked him off his perch with one of the clapperboards that he and Steve Austin had brought to ringside. Meanwhile, Austin blasted Owen Hart with the Stun Gun and then he and Pillman executed their beautiful simultaneous flying splash finisher - the Atomic Blonds - on each of their opponents for the three count. Todd Pettengill interviewed the Hollywood Blonds in the aisle after the bout. Austin and Pillman cut a cocky promo, proclaiming that Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty's brush with greatness was now over and that they were heading straight to the top of the tag team ranks in the World Wrestling Federation. No-Time-Limit-Match: Razor Ramon pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Razor's Edge in 0:10:06. Rating: * (Razor Ramon won the WWF Intercontinental Title.) After a chase for the Intercontinental Championship that has spanned several months, Razor Ramon finally snared the gold tonight. Bam Bam Bigelow appeared to have the match in control as he went up top to deliver a moonsault, the very manoeuvre that he had used to win the title. However, Ramon crotched Bigelow on the top rope and then sent the Beast from the East crashing down to the canvas with the Razor's Edge! The Bad Guy covered Bigelow for the pinfall and the title as the crowd expressed their unbridled delight. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) when R. Steiner pinned Davey Boy after the Top Rope Bulldog in 0:13:03. Rating: * 3/4 (The Steiner Brothers won the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The Steiner Brothers dethroned the British Bulldogs to regain the WWF Tag Team Titles here tonight at the Royal Rumble, a mere 13 days after losing them on the one year anniversary edition of Monday Night RAW. This was a gripping contest between two of the most talented teams ever to set foot in a WWF ring. It was Rick Steiner who scored the pin for his team and kicked off the Steiner's second reign as champions when he drilled Davey Boy Smith with a flying bulldog from the top rope. After the contest, the two teams shook hands, but the British Bulldogs refused to release their grip. Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith made sure the Steiners knew that this isn't over and would be coming after the belts again. Bret Hart defeated Big Van Vader by disqualification in 0:12:11. Rating: * (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race interfered against Bret Hart.] Big Van Vader's tactics in this WWF Title Match were quite simple - go after the already injured ribs of Bret "Hitman" Hart. The end of this bout came when Vader had the Hitman cornered and was pummelling Hart's ribcage relentlessly. Referee Earl Hebner tried his best to intervene and get the Hitman out of the corner, but Vader kept pushing him away. Finally, Vader snapped and decked Hebner, before continuing his assault on the champion. The groggy Hebner then called for the bell, disqualifying the Mastodon. Big Van Vader subsequently lost it completely. He crushed Earl Hebner in the corner with an avalanche and then blasted him with the Vader Bomb. Vader went after Bret Hart again, planting him with a shattering power bomb. Vader then began tearing apart the ringside area as his fit of rage continued, before throwing the steel steps into the ring in order to do further damage to the WWF Champion. However, before any more carnage could take place, Vader was surrounded by an army of officials and road agents. Harley Race was able to intervene, calm his man down and lead Vader to the back. The Hitman was helped back to his feet and he raised his championship belt in the air in triumph, but he was clearly in a bad way. Big Van Vader had blown his chance! Prior to the Royal Rumble match, comments were shown from several of the favourites to win, such as Crush, Mr. Perfect, Lex Luger, Ted DiBiase, Adam Bomb, Tatanka and also the bizarre pairing of Papa Shango and The Undertaker. "The Narcissist" Lex Luger appeared to be the unluckiest man in Rhode Island, as not only did he draw number one in the Royal Rumble, but the next two men out were two superstars that he was embroiled in bitter feuds with in 1993 - Crush and Mr. Perfect!! Crush and Perfect enjoyed bouncing Luger around until the big Hawaiian dumped The Narcissist out. The first shock of the bout was the Lightning Kid's elimination of Ted DiBiase, something that did not sit well with the Million Dollar Man at all! The ring was starting to fill up until The Undertaker made his way down to the ring, having drawn unlucky number 13! The Man from the Darkside received a mixed response from the fans, who have not approved of the actions of the Phenom since he fell under the spell of Papa Shango. It just so happened that Shango was already out there when 'Taker entered the fray and Shango dealt out the instructions as the Undertaker tossed out Mr. Perfect, Fatu and Friar Ferguson in quick succession. The Undertaker and Papa Shango teamed up to assault each superstar in the match, before focussing their attack on Crush. Shango and 'Taker tried to eliminate Crush, but Crush ducked under their clothesline and sent both men over the top rope to the floor with a double clothesline of his own! The crowd popped and really started to get behind Crush, who was on a roll! This year's Royal Rumble also featured the debut of Scotty Flamingo, a young surfer dude from Palm Beach, Florida. Flamingo put in a great effort, lasting nearly twenty minutes before being eliminated by veteran Bob Backlund. Quebecer Jacques also lasted a long time - well over half an hour - and even managed to throw out his great rival the Big Boss Man but was later dumped out by reformed convict Kevin Kelly. Tito Santana entered the bout looking to get revenge on Jeff Jarrett for Double J's cowardly attack on former tag team partner Rick Martel, but it was Jarrett that threw Santana out. Shawn Michaels was the 21st entrant in this year's Royal Rumble, but he ended up eliminating himself when Randy Savage sprinted down to the ring to get a piece of Elizabeth's new lover!! The crowd exploded as the Macho Man - who was not a participant in the Rumble - hit the ring and the Heartbreak Kid immediately jumped over the top rope and hotfooted it through the crowd with Savage in hot pursuit! The Birdman was the 28th man in as we started to approach the business end of the match. Suddenly, the camera cut to the Gorilla position backstage, where Big Van Vader was assaulting Virgil! Vader unloaded with punches and kicks, before hurling Virgil into a concrete wall! Then, as the buzzer sounded signalling that it was time for another participant to enter the Rumble, Vader emerged from behind the entrance curtain! It soon became evident that Vader - infuriated that he had been unsuccessful in taking the WWF Championship earlier in the evening - had now ramrodded his way into the Royal Rumble match by stealing the unfortunate Virgil's place! After Tatanka threw out Samu and Vader chucked out Pierre, we were down to the final four - Crush (who had been in for over an hour), Tatanka, Big Van Vader and Adam Bomb! At almost exactly the same time, Vader pressed the Native American over his head and over the top rope to the floor, while Crush backdropped the Creation of Devastation out of the Rumble. Adam Bomb was completely devastated, his chance of wrestling for the WWF Title gone. It was down to Crush and Vader, with the fans firmly in the corner of the big Hawaiian. Crush was absolutely exhausted though and Vader broke him down. Crush could barely defend himself and Vader easily threw him over the top rope to controversially win the 1994 Royal Rumble. 30-Man Battle Royal: Big Van Vader won a 30-man Royal Rumble: x Luger and Crush started out. x Mr. Perfect entered at 0:02:00 x Fatu entered at 0:04:00 x Doink the Clown entered at 0:06:00 x Friar Ferguson entered at 0:08:00 x Ted DiBiase entered at 0:10:00 x DiBiase threw out Doink after a backbreaker in 0:10:59 x Crush threw out Luger in 0:11:23 x Lightning Kid entered at 0:12:00 x Quebecer Jacques entered at 0:14:00 x Kid threw out DiBiase in 0:15:34 x Papa Shango entered at 0:16:00 x Shango threw out Kid in 0:17:45 x Bob Backlund entered at 0:18:00 x The Undertaker entered at 0:20:00 x Undertaker threw out Perfect in 0:20:59 x Undertaker threw out Fatu in 0:21:23 x Undertaker threw out Ferguson in 0:21:43 x Repo Man entered at 0:22:00 x Max Moon entered at 0:24:00 x Manuel entered at 0:26:00 x Crush threw out The Undertaker and Papa Shango after a double clothesline in 0:27:00 x Victor entered at 0:28:00 x Quebecer Pierre entered at 0:30:00 x Jeff Jarrett entered at 0:32:00 x Crush threw out Manuel in 0:33:59 x Scotty Flamingo entered at 0:34:00 x M.

Vader was booed out of the building as the Mastodon signalled that he wants the WWF Championship around his waist! Card rating: * 1/4 Circuit information: When the 1994 Royal Rumble was all said and done, it was Big Van Vader - a man who wasn't even supposed to be an official participant in the contest - who stole Virgil's place and ended up being the last man standing. Vader had been disqualified earlier in the night in his WWF Championship match with Bret "Hitman" Hart when he decked the referee, blowing his opportunity in the process. But now that he has "won" the Royal Rumble, he has earned another shot at the title in the main event of WrestleMania X. It was without question the most controversial Royal Rumble match in history. Will WWF President Jack Tunney let the result stand though? You'll have to tune in tomorrow night to Monday Night RAW to find out! Number Entrant Eliminated by 1 Lex Luger Crush 2 Crush Big Van Vader 3 Mr. Perfect The Undertaker 4 Fatu The Undertaker 5 Doink the Clown Ted DiBiase 6 Friar Ferguson The Undertaker 7 Ted DiBiase Lightning Kid 8 Lightning Kid Papa Shango 9 Quebecer Jacques Kevin Kelly 10 Papa Shango Crush 11 Bob Backlund Big Van Vader 12 The Undertaker Crush 13 Repo Man Quebecer Jacques 14 Max Moon Shawn Michaels 15 Manuel Crush 16 Victor Max Moon 17 Quebecer Pierre Big Van Vader 18 Jeff Jarrett Max Moon 19 Scotty Flamingo Bob Backlund 20 Tito Santana Jeff Jarrett 21 Shawn Michaels (eliminated himself) 22 Kevin Kelly Tazmaniac 23 Samu Tatanka 24 Jerry Lawler Kevin Kelly 25 Big Boss Man Quebecer Jacques 26 The Tazmaniac Tatanka 27 Tatanka Big Van Vader 28 The Birdman Tatanka 29 Big Van Vader (Virgil)- 30 Adam Bomb Crush The outcome was heartbreaking for Crush, who had entered the contest at number two and lasted well over an hour, eliminating five men in the process including the demonic duo of The Undertaker and Papa Shango. Crush is one of a number of superstars who will be livid if the outcome of the Rumble is allowed to stand. Razor Ramon failed to capture the WWF Intercontinental Champion on three separate occasions, when the time limit expired at 15, 20, and 30 minutes. Tonight, it only took just over ten minutes for the Bad Guy to finally realise his dream and capture the title from Bam Bam Bigelow. Congratulations to Razor Ramon. Congratulations are also in order for the Steiner Brothers, who recaptured the WWF Tag Team Titles from the British Bulldogs tonight. However, the Bulldogs have made it clear to the Steiners that they are not finished with them and will want a rematch for the titles very soon. The debuting Hollywood Blonds - the brash and arrogant "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman - were victorious against Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty in the opening bout of the show. Although Pillman and Austin used questionable tactics to sneak out the win, they have impressed several mat observers enough to tip them as future Tag Team Champions. Join us tomorrow night for what should be an intriguing edition of Monday Night RAW. Embarrassed by his Rumble elimination at the hands of the Lightning Kid, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase has challenged the plucky youngster to a match on the show. Also, "Macho Man" Randy Savage responds to his estranged wife Elizabeth's request for a divorce and we expect to hear from Jack Tunney regarding the contentious finish to the Royal Rumble! Till then, so long everybody!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/13/08 at 13:42:35 Booked to the max!
JoshiQ	Posted on 07/16/08 at 02:32:08 I'm not a huge fan of Vader and Bret Hart being continued on. I think Vader should have won the title and had somebody else win the Rumble. It seemed weird to have the title match at the Rumble being continued on until Wrestlemania. Regardless, awesome PPV and can't wait until the next card.

Thanks for reading.
Grappler	Posted on 07/20/08 at 04:05:19 I'm personally fine with Vader and Hart continuing. My only slight complaint with their feud so far is a lack of face to face conflict between the two. I can only assume their interactions will increase in the coming shows. I think a Savage-HBK feud could be brilliant.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/20/08 at 22:22:33 Monday Night RAW January 24th, 1994 Coliseum, Richmond, VA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Stills were shown from this past weekend's controversial Royal Rumble event, where Big Van Vader was disqualified in his challenge for the WWF Title against Bret Hart when he struck referee Earl Hebner. Vader then stole a spot in the Rumble match by attacking Virgil backstage, before going on to win the 30-man over-the-top battle royal. An angry Crush was shown arriving at the Coliseum, where he was approached by Sean Mooney. Crush, who was the last man eliminated by Big Van Vader, was adamant that Vader's Rumble win should not be allowed to stand. He said he was going straight to Jack Tunney's office to demand that the WWF president sort this mess out quickly. After Crush stormed into the arena, Papa Shango and The Undertaker were shown lurking in the shadows. Big Boss Man pinned Black Phantom after a clothesline in 0:06:09. Rating: ** 3/4 Gene Okerlund interviewed the duo of Big Van Vader and Harley Race backstage. A raging Race accused Earl Hebner of saving Bret Hart's title for him at the Royal Rumble, but added that justice was done when they decided to take matters into their own hands and Vader triumphed in the Rumble. Race warned that if Jack Tunney even thinks about overturning Vader's win, then he'll be making the biggest mistake of his life. Lex Luger made Mike Walsh submit to the torture rack in 0:02:06. Rating: 1/4* Stills where shown from the Intercontinental Title Match at the Royal Rumble, where Razor Ramon finally dethroned Bam Bam Bigelow as champion. Afterwards, the Beast from the East cut a promo in which he said he was invoking his rematch clause at the earliest available opportunity. Bigelow revealed that the rematch with Ramon would take place next week on Monday Night RAW...inside a steel cage!! The announcers put over debutant Scotty Flamingo's performance in the Royal Rumble before his first ever match on Monday Night RAW. Scotty Flamingo pinned Chris Hamrick with the Piledriver in 0:05:34. Rating: 1/4 A resolute and steadfast Randy Savage cut a promo on his estranged wife Elizabeth, claiming that he would never sign the divorce papers. Ted DiBiase defeated Lightning Kid by countout in 0:08:57. Rating: * 1/4 [Sensational Sherri interfered against Lightning Kid.] The finish to this contest came when The Lightning Kid missed a dive to the floor and had a nasty landing. The referee could see that the Kid was hurt and quickly counted him out so the paramedics could attend to the youngster. However, Ted DiBiase wasn't done - he was still smarting about his elimination at the hands of the Lightning Kid at the Royal Rumble and was determined to make him pay. DiBiase dragged the Lightning Kid up off the floor and applied the Million Dollar Dream to the visibly unconscious Kid. Mr. Perfect came out to make the save and he stalked the Million Dollar Man to the back. Suddenly, Perfect was decked by a punch and Barry Windham was revealed to be hiding behind the curtain! Windham stood over Perfect's crumpled body while DiBiase cackled evilly. WWF President Jack Tunney closed the show by acknowledging the controversy surrounding this year's Royal Rumble match. Tunney admitted that he couldn't simply book another Royal Rumble match, but he could book a match between Crush and Big Van Vader to determine who will challenge the champion for the WWF Title at WrestleMania X. Tunney announced that this match will take place in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW!! Circuit information: Jack Tunney has acted and acted quickly. Big Van Vader caused uproar when he destroyed Virgil backstage and robbed him of a spot in the Royal Rumble, taking it for himself and going on to win the match. This obviously did not sit well with Crush, who had been in the match from the outset and was the last man eliminated. Tunney has signed a match between Vader and Crush to happen in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW, the winner of which will face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania X. "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham returned tonight having fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered at the hands of Mr. Perfect back in November. Windham knocked out Perfect with a nasty looking punch. The bitter feud between these two men has resumed!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/27/08 at 21:52:37 WWF Superstars January 29th, 1994 Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium, Fayetteville, NC Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with an interview with the Hollywood Blonds, conducted by Sean Mooney. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin were beaming about their successful debut against the team of Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart at the Royal Rumble, with Austin bragging that he will beat Jannetty just as easily tonight on Superstars. Steve Austin pinned Marty Jannetty after an inside cradle in 0:08:12. Rating: ** 1/2 "Stunning" Steve Austin picked up a cheap victory over Marty Jannetty when he avoided Jannetty's knee in the corner and rolled Jannetty up, grabbing a handful of tights to secure the three count. The manner of the loss didn't sit well with Marty Jannetty, who confronted Steve Austin after the match. Jannetty and Austin soon came to blows, before Brian Pillman ran down to the ring and attacked Jannetty. Austin and Pillman pounded Jannetty, before Austin lifted him up and Pillman went for a springboard clothesline. Before they could complete the move, Owen Hart arrived on the scene and ran the Hollywood Blonds off. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Corey Student and Mike Khoury when Bart Gunn pinned M. Khoury after the Sidewinder in 0:06:40. Rating: * 1/2 Paul Bearer made his way down to the ring to confront The Undertaker. Bearer called out 'Taker and the Man from the Darkside entered the ring, along with Papa Shango and Madusa. Bearer ran down Papa Shango and pleaded with The Undertaker to come back to him, recounting their history together. The Deadman looked reflective as Bearer continued to beg him to see the light. Suddenly, The Undertaker grabbed Shango around the throat! The crowd popped big time as 'Taker backed Shango into the corner. Shango's eyes then rolled back into his head and he began chanting, going into a voodoo trance. 'Taker then released his grip, before throwing his hair back and marching over to Paul Bearer. Undertaker decked Bearer with a hard right and then Tombstoned his manager in the centre of the ring! 'Taker then dropped to one knee and did the urn pose to Papa Shango, while the voodoo priest cackled triumphantly. Jeff Jarrett pinned Tony Roy after a DDT in 0:05:34. Rating: 1/2* Vince McMahon revealed that there would be a Saturday Night's Main Event TV special live on February 26th from the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California. The Birdman cut a promo on Tatanka, vowing to make him pay for eliminating him from the Royal Rumble. Tatanka pinned The Birdman with the End of the Trail in 0:06:00. Rating: *** 1/2 Backstage, Papa Shango cut a promo, with The Undertaker and Madusa lurking behind him. Shango said that after taking care of Paul Bearer, they now had other business to attend to. Flames ignited in Shango's hands as he laughed wickedly, while The Undertaker rolled his eyes into the back of his head. Circuit information: The Undertaker appears to have turned his back on his former manager Paul Bearer once and for all tonight and it is all down to the mind manipulation that Papa Shango is using on the Deadman. Bearer seemed to be making some headway with 'Taker tonight as he tried to convince the Man from the Darkside that Shango is lying, but Shango used his black magic to strengthen this hold that he has over the Deadman. If Paul Bearer cannot make The Undertaker see the light, then surely nobody can. What is the business that Papa Shango alluded to at the end of the show? Who will he send The Undertaker after next??
JoshiQ	Posted on 07/28/08 at 00:50:45 Man, the Birdman sure has fallen. From feuding with the Undertaker to losing in the main event of Superstars. I am really interested to see where you are going with the Undertaker.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/28/08 at 21:22:44 Monday Night RAW January 31st, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Comments were shown from WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon and Bam Bam Bigelow ahead of their steel cage match in the main event of tonight's show. Doink the Clown pinned Jim Massenger with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:04:01. Rating: * 1/2 Footage was shown from the two classic encounters between The Steiner Brothers and The British Bulldogs in which they have traded the World Tag Team Titles. WWF President Jack Tunney has decreed that the teams will meet for a third time at Saturday Night's Main Event on February 24th with the belts on the line. Over the next couple of weeks, the members of each team will face each other in singles competition, starting tonight with Scott Steiner locking up with the Dynamite Kid. Scott Steiner pinned Dynamite Kid with the Frankensteiner in 0:11:48. Rating: **** After this phenomenal encounter which earned both men a standing ovation, Scott Steiner celebrated with his brother Rick as the Steiners go one up in the series. Meanwhile, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith looked on, seething. Vince McMahon revealed that next week on Monday Night RAW, Shawn Michaels will compete in his first match with Elizabeth as his new manager! Lex Luger defeated Max Moon when Max Moon passed out in the torture rack in 0:00:28. Rating: * Lex Luger was all business here tonight. He floored Max Moon with a running forearm before the official even called for the bell and then he hoisted the KO'ed Moon up in the torture rack for the win in under thirty seconds. While the ring crew went to work erecting the steel cage, Big Van Vader and Harley Race came out for an interview with Vince McMahon. Race claimed that Vader's bout with Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble should have been stopped regardless whether Vader laid a hand on the referee or not, because Vader had the champion beat and there was no way that the Hitman could defend himself. Race vowed that Vader would defeat Crush next week and then become the new WWF Champion at WrestleMania X. As Vader and Race made their exit, the mastodon snatched a pair of replica Bret Hart sunglasses from a fan in the front row and tore them up. An extensive video package rolled documenting the history of the Razor Ramon-Bam Bam Bigelow feud. Cage Match: Razor Ramon pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Razor's Edge in 0:16:43. Rating: *** 3/4 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Razor Ramon ultimately came out on top in his feud with Bam Bam Bigelow with a victory in this brutal and barbaric steel cage war. Bigelow tried to climb out of the cage, but Razor brought him crashing down to the mat with a Razor's Edge off the bars to score the pin and retain the Intercontinental Title. Circuit information: Razor Ramon retained his newly won Intercontinental Title against former champion Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event of the show in a fierce steel cage match. The feud between these two men is finally over and Ramon can now think about challengers to his title. One such challenger may be "The Narcissist" Lex Luger, who destroyed Max Moon in no time this evening. The gripping rivalry between WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers and The British Bulldogs will continue over the coming weeks as the members of each team square off against one another in singles competition. If tonight's match-up between Scott Steiner and Dynamite Kid - one of the best matches in Monday Night RAW history - is any indication of how good this series will be, then we are surely in for a treat! The series continues this coming weekend on Superstars in a battle of the powerhouses when Rick Steiner goes up against Davey Boy Smith. Big Van Vader and Crush will clash next week in a battle to determine who will face the WWF Champion in the main event of WrestleMania X. We can confirm that WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart will be at ringside to provide guest colour commentary for this match.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/29/08 at 20:22:47 WWF Superstars February 5th, 1994 Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium, Fayetteville, NC Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with footage from last week's show, where Steve Austin stole a win over Marty Jannetty by grabbing a handful of tights. Tonight, Austin and Jannetty's tag team partners, Brian Pillman and Owen Hart, meet one-on-one. Brian Pillman defeated Owen Hart by countout in 0:10:18. Rating: 1/2 Brian Pillman and Owen Hart were both accompanied to the ring tonight by their respective tag team partners, Steve Austin and Marty Jannetty. Austin persistently got involved in the match to turn the tide in favour for Pillman, which raised the ire of Jannetty. Jannetty went after Austin, but the official prevented him from getting into a fight and warned him about his behaviour. Meanwhile, Pillman knocked Owen out of the ring and with the referee's back turned, Austin drilled Owen with a Stun Gun on the steel guardrail! Owen was subsequently counted out. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Barry Horowitz and Chris Duffy when Victor pinned C. Duffy after hitting him with Mr. Fuji's cane in 0:06:58 . Rating: 1/4 Footage was shown of Tito Santana in the gym with Rick Martel. These former tag team partners and bitter rivals have now rekindled their friendship as Santana helps Martel back to full fitness. The Tazmaniac pinned Typhoon after a release tiger suplex in 0:03:03. Rating: * 1/4 [Kim Chee interfered against Typhoon.] Enraged and exasperated by their consecutive singles losses to the Hollywood Blonds, Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty challenged Steve Austin and Brian Pillman to any match of their choosing in order to settle the score. Terra Ryzing defeated Adam Bomb by disqualification in 0:03:49. Rating: Big-nosed Ric Flair wannabee Terra Ryzing had a WWF debut he won't soon forget against Adam Bomb and even though he came out with a win, he sure didn't look like a winner at the end of this match. Bomb destroyed Ryzing, planting him with three Atom Smasher power bombs. However, Bomb refused to make the pin each time. When the official called him up on this, Bomb pie-faced him to the mat, earning a DQ. Adam Bomb's rage at failing to win the Royal Rumble was clearly getting the better of him. When Harvey Wippleman attempted to calm his man down, Bomb shoved him to the ground and marched to the back in a fury. Footage rolled of Barry Windham decking Mr. Perfect from behind the entrance curtain two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. Vince McMahon excitedly announced that next week on Superstars, Ted DiBiase and The Widowmaker will team up to face the duo of Mr. Perfect and the Big Boss Man. Davey Boy Smith pinned Rick Steiner with the Running Powerslam in 0:09:26. Rating: ** 3/4 Davey Boy Smith side-stepped Rick Steiner's flying bulldog and then planted him with a running powerslam to tie the Steiners-Bulldogs series at one apiece. Circuit information: The Hollywood Blonds got one over on Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart again tonight when Brian Pillman scored a count out victory over Owen when Steve Austin dropped Owen across the steel guardrail. Jannetty and Owen are tired of the Blonds' shenanigans and have challenged Austin and Pillman to any match they like. We expect to hear the Blonds' reply next week. Adam Bomb completely lost it in his bout this evening and displayed a complete lack of respect for his opponent, the official and the rules. An angry Adam Bomb can only mean trouble for the WWF locker room. Davey Boy Smith evened up the Steiners-Bulldogs singles series by defeating Rick Steiner tonight. In two weeks' time, Davey Boy goes up against Scott Steiner while Rick Steiner will battle the Dynamite Kid. Don't forget to tune in to Monday Night RAW this coming week as Crush faces Big Van Vader for a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania! Plus, Shawn Michaels, along with Liz, squares off against Kevin Kelly! All that plus so much more...don't you dare miss it!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/31/08 at 11:22:13 Monday Night RAW February 7th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan hyped up the opening match between Big Van Vader and Crush, where the winner of the contest will earn the right to challenge the WWF Champion in the main event of WrestleMania X. Before the number one contenders match started, WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart made his way down to ringside to provide guest colour commentary on proceedings. Number-One-Contenders-Match: Big Van Vader pinned Crush after a power bomb in 0:09:38. Rating: *** 1/2 Crush had Big Van Vader in trouble for the first time in his WWF career, drilling the mastodon with three consecutive bodyslams. With the crowd firmly behind him, Crush called for the finish. Suddenly, the big Hawaiian appeared to fall ill, clutching his stomach in agony. Black goo then began to pour out of Crush's forehead and stream down his face! Vader seized his opportunity and nailed Crush with a power bomb for the three count. After the match, Crush, who was clearly in a bad way, was helped from the ring by officials and stretchered to the back. Meanwhile, Big Van Vader left the ring and confronted Bret Hart at the announcers' table. Vader and the Hitman stared each other down while referees tried to restore order as the show went to commercial. The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Dan Dubiel and Spike Gray when Pierre pinned D. Dubiel after a flying legdrop in 0:01:53. Rating: 1/2* Vince McMahon hyped up the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event show, which returns on February 26th. Vince announced that just signed for the show is a WWF Tag Team Title rematch between champions the Steiner Brothers and the British Bulldogs! Bob Backlund pinned Scotty Flamingo after an abdominal stretch cradle in 0:07:18. Rating: 1/2 The veteran Bob Backlund rolled up the plucky youngster Scotty Flamingo for the victory here, but Flamingo more than held his own against the former WWF Champion. Afterwards, both men shook hands in a show of respect. Shawn Michaels pinned Kevin Kelly after a flying elbowdrop in 0:06:22. Rating: * In an obvious slight to Macho Man Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels used a flying elbow to put away the reformed ex-con Kevin Kelly, while Liz looked on with delight. The crowd jumped to their feet after the match as Randy Savage hit the ring, desperate to get his hands on Shawn Michaels. However, Liz blocked her estranged husband's path and thrust a bunch of papers in Savage's face. She then handed the Macho Man a pen and demand he sign them - these must have been the divorce papers that Liz's lawyer had drawn up. Savage refused to put pen to paper, but this distraction by Liz allowed the Heartbreak Kid to sneak up from behind and deliver a superkick to the back of Savage's head! Liz took the opportunity to put the pen in Savage's limp hand and make him sign the papers herself!! Liz and Michaels shared a passionate embrace over Savage's unconscious body, before Liz held the divorce papers jubilantly over her head as she was booed out of the building. Circuit information: Big Van Vader secured another shot at the Bret "Hitman" Hart's WWF Championship in the main event of WrestleMania X when he defeated Crush in their number one contenders match tonight on Monday Night RAW. Crush seemed to have victory in his grasp when black goo began to drip down his face and he fell ill. Vader then power bombed Crush for the pinfall. The black goo is the calling card of Papa Shango and his curses, so we must assume that he is to blame for Crush's defeat tonight. My sources tell me that Papa Shango and The Undertaker were irate after Crush eliminated both of them from the Royal Rumble, so they may have set out to wreak their revenge this evening. More details on this developing situation when we get it. Liz got what she wanted tonight - Randy Savage's signature is finally on the divorce papers, but only after Shawn Michaels knocked him out with a superkick to the back of the head and Liz used Savage's limp hand to sign. Liz is fast becoming the most hated female in the WWF. How will the Macho Man react to this latest crushing blow from his estranged wife and her lover? Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, which features a marquee tag team match as Ted DiBiase and Barry Windham battle Mr. Perfect and the Big Boss Man!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/31/08 at 11:26:05 WWF Superstars February 12th, 1994 Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium, Fayetteville, NC Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Big Boss Man and Mr. Perfect defeated Barry Windham and Ted DiBiase when Perfect pinned DiBiase after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:11:10. Rating: *** The finish to this tag team bout came when the official was distracted by the Big Boss Man and Barry Windham brawling at ringside. Sensational Sherri threw her high-heeled boot to Ted DiBiase for him to use, but Mr. Perfect disarmed him and laid the Million Dollar Man out with the boot instead! Perfect then discarded the evidence and covered DiBiase for the pin! As Mr. Perfect and the Big Boss Man celebrated their victory, an irate Ted DiBiase got on the mic and challenged Perfect to face "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham on the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event show. DiBiase added the stipulation that if Perfect loses, he has to be their personal slave up until WrestleMania X! DiBiase questioned whether Perfect had the guts to accept. Perfect quickly agreed to the bout, but only if he could add a stip of his own - if he wins, then Sherri has to be his personal slave till 'Mania! Sherri looked horrified at that prospect while DiBiase tried to calm her down. Suddenly, Windham grabbed the mic and accepted the stipulation and the match! Perfect beamed and made his way to the back, while Sherri went ballistic in the ring! Repo Man pinned John Paul after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:04:17. Rating: 1/2* Repo Man tried to bring a hubcap into play, but the referee snatched it off him. While the official dumped the hubcap out of the ring, Repo grabbed his tow rope and clocked John Paul with the steel hook. The three count was academic. After the match, Repo Man tied his opponent's feet together and hooked them around the ring ropes. Repo then continued to attack John Paul and only stopped when the referee threatened to overturn his decision. Friar Ferguson pinned Mike Sharpe with the Missionary Position in 0:03:28. Rating: DUD Another video was shown of Tito Santana training with Rick Martel. This time they were lifting weights in the gym. Footage was shown from this past week's edition of Monday Night RAW of Shawn Michaels beating down Randy Savage, followed by Liz using Savage's limp hand to sign the divorce papers. Vince McMahon revealed that he would interview the Macho Man on next week's show. Lex Luger pinned Scott Putski with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:04:15. Rating: *** During the match, Lex Luger cut an insert promo vowing to win championship gold in the near future. The Birdman pinned Sid Garrison with the One Fell Swoop in 0:03:31. Rating: * 1/4 The show closed with a promo from the Hollywood Blonds. Steve Austin and Brian Pillman accepted the challenge from Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart, before adding that the bout they had chosen is a "Fifteen Minutes of Fame Match"! Circuit information: Our Saturday Night's Main Event show in two weeks is shaping up to be a superb event! In addition to a WWF Tag Team Title Match between the Steiner Brothers and the British Bulldogs, Mr. Perfect will square off against Barry Windham in a match where the stakes are extremely high! If Mr. Perfect loses the bout, he must work as Ted DiBiase's slave until WrestleMania! However, if the Widowmaker is defeated, then it is Sensational Sherri who will work as Perfect's slave! Windham is desperate to exact revenge from Perfect for putting him out of action with a knee injury, which we can only surmise is the reason that he accepted the bout so eagerly without consulting DiBiase and Sherri. Repo Man's post-match assault was unnecessary and uncalled for. Who knows what that was all about?! We are unsure of the details regarding what a "Fifteen Minutes of Fame" Match consists of, but you will see that bout between Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart and the Hollywood Blonds next week on Superstars! But before that on Monday Night RAW, the Steiners-Bulldogs singles series continues as Davey Boy Smith meets Scott Steiner, plus The Undertaker faces off against Tatanka!

No way in any country or organisation in the world would this be considered a valid signature... except maybe a mid 90's WWF so I guess it's fitting.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/03/08 at 23:27:26 Monday Night RAW February 14th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with highlights of the first two matches from the Steiners-Bulldogs singles series, where Scott Steiner defeated the Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith bested Rick Steiner. As a result, the series now stands at 1-1 and it continues tonight. Davey Boy Smith pinned Scott Steiner after a rolling reverse cradle into a bridge in 0:07:28. Rating: * 3/4 Sean Mooney conducted an interview with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Hart discussed his match with Big Van Vader at WrestleMania X and said that he welcomed the opportunity to face Vader again, as nothing was settled at the Royal Rumble. Vince McMahon said that Bret Hart would be in non-title action next week against Damien DeMento. Tito Santana pinned Crash the Terminator after a sunset flip in 0:05:35. Rating: 1/2 After the match, Tito Santana took the mic and lambasted Jeff Jarrett for his cowardly attack on Rick Martel. Santana then challenged Jarrett to a match on Saturday Night's Main Event. Scotty Flamingo cut a promo, saying that he went within an eyelash of defeating Bob Backlund last week. Flamingo challenged the veteran to another bout next week. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) and The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) battled to a double countout in 0:08:13. Manuel suffered an elbow injury. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: * 3/4 Renowned brawlers the Nasty Boys and the Arabian Butchers continued to fight around the ringside area even after the official had counted both teams out of the ring. Knobbs clocked one of the Butchers with the ring bell, while Sags strangled the other with a camera cable. The two teams then toppled over the guardrail and brawled into the crowd! It took an army of officials and road agents to separate the warring duos. The Undertaker pinned Tatanka with the Tombstone in 0:09:27. Rating: *** [Papa Shango interfered against Tatanka.] Tatanka had things firmly in control when he dropped The Undertaker with a flying Tomahawk chop off the top rope. However, Papa Shango jumped onto the ring apron to distract the Native American. Tatanka knocked him off with another chop, but walked straight into a Tombstone from the Deadman. After the match, The Undertaker and Papa Shango were joined by Madusa in putting the boots to Tatanka. Crush sprinted down to the ring and cleaned house on the wicked trio, before checking on the condition of his friend. Crush helped Tatanka back to his feet and they challenged Undertaker and Shango to come back and fight. 'Taker wanted to return to the ring, but Shango pulled him back by the hair as the show went off air. Circuit information: Crush wants his revenge on Papa Shango and The Undertaker for costing him a shot at the WWF Title and with Tatanka by his side he hopes to get it sooner rather than later. WWF President Jack Tunney has acted quickly and booked a match between these two duos for Saturday Night's Main Event! This will surely be a knock-down drag-out affair and you will not want to miss this intriguing contest! The British Bulldogs go 2-1 up in the singles series with WWF Tag Team Champions the Steiner Brothers after Davey Boy Smith's roll up victory over Scott Steiner tonight. If Dynamite Kid can defeat Rick Steiner on Superstars this weekend, not only will the Bulldogs win this series but they will also gain a significant psychological advantage heading into their Tag Team Title Match on Saturday Night's Main Event. Jeff Jarrett is in action on Superstars this weekend, where we expect him to respond to Tito Santana's challenge. Also on the show, Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty battle the Hollywood Blonds in a Fifteen Minutes of Fame Match, plus Vince McMahon will conduct an in-ring interview with "Macho Man" Randy Savage!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/05/08 at 21:48:14 WWF Superstars February 19th, 1994 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from the Hollywood Blonds and the team of Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart ahead of their Fifteen Minutes of Fame Match. The rules to this match are simple - the team that can gain the most decisions inside the fifteen minute time limit will be victorious. [Fifteen Minutes of Fame Match]: Iron Man Match: The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) beat Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart 2 falls to 1: x O. Hart beat Pillman via a small package in 0:03:32 x S. Austin beat Jannetty via the Stun Gun in 0:06:41 x Pillman beat O. Hart via an inside cradle in 0:14:43 x time limit expired (Pillman and O. Hart) in 0:15:00 Rating: *** 1/4 For fifteen minutes, these two talented young teams went hell for leather. First blood to Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty when Owen cradled Brian Pillman. Steve Austin evened the score when he used a Hotshot on Marty Jannetty. Finally, with literally seconds remaining, Owen missed a dropkick and Pillman rolled him up, placing his feet on the ropes for extra leverage, to score the pin and give the match to the Blonds two falls to one. Jeff Jarrett pinned Mike Bell with the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:03:57. Rating: * 1/2 Jeff Jarrett took the mic after this match and accepted Tito Santana's challenge for Saturday Night's Main Event. Jarrett vowed to snap Santana's leg just like he did Rick Martel's. Backstage, The Hollywood Blonds revelled in their victory earlier tonight. Austin and Pillman said that they were turning their attention to the Tag Team Titles. Earthquake pinned Corey Student after a powerslam in 0:01:30. Rating: DUD A vignette aired hyping up the WWF return of Bad News Brown! Bad News made his name in the 80s as a tough loner who stood on his own and fought to his last breath. Bad News was reclusive; as such, he respected nobody - as he showed when he abandoned his teammates at the Survivor Series of 1988 and 1989. Rick Steiner pinned Dynamite Kid after a Hotshot in 0:08:21. Rating: *** 1/4 The show returned with Vince McMahon in the ring. McMahon introduced Randy Savage for an interview. The Macho Man - dressed in street clothes - came out to a standing ovation. A dejected Savage admitted that Shawn Michaels and Elizabeth have ruined his life. He said that he had lost everything - his marriage, his wife, his dignity and his self-respect. Savage said that he hated himself for loving Elizabeth and added that a life without Elizabeth is a life he doesn't want to live. Vince McMahon cut him off and said that Randy Savage is wrong - he hasn't lost everything! McMahon said that Savage still has the support of the fans!! The crowd stood on their feet and a deafening "Randy!" chant started up. McMahon said that Savage still has the support of his peers and the ring surrounded with all the babyfaces, who joined in with the chant. Savage appeared genuinely moved by the reaction he was receiving and then suddenly seized the mic. Savage said that he does have something to live for - making Shawn Michaels and Elizabeth's lives a living hell and ending the Heartbreak Kid's career!! Circuit information: The reaction from the WWF fans and the WWF lockerroom appeared to pull Macho Man Randy Savage back from the brink. Savage is now refocused and determined to pay Shawn Michaels and Elizabeth back for their deceit and what they have done to him over the past month. Rumour has it that Savage will ask Jack Tunney for a match with Michaels as soon as possible, but I believe that Tunney will be reluctant to book a match between the two as this issue has become so personal. There is nothing to choose between The Steiner Brothers and The British Bulldogs as their singles series ends at 2-2. They will meet for the Tag Team Titles in seven days on Saturday Night's Main Event as this gripping competitive rivalry continues. Meanwhile, the Hollywood Blonds are eager to join the championship chase after defeating Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty, albeit in shady circumstances. Join us this coming week for Monday Night RAW, where Bret Hart faces Damien DeMento in a non-title match, Razor Ramon puts the Intercontinental Title on the line against Skinner, plus Ted DiBiase will be in action!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/08/08 at 21:50:01 Monday Night RAW February 21st, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with breaking news from Titan Towers - WWF President Jack Tunney has agreed to sanction a match between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X! Vince McMahon revealed that Tunney only signed the match after Randy Savage agreed not to enter any arena at which a WWF card was scheduled. Tunney made this stipulation as fans are desperate to see these two clash and with such a volatile and personal situation between the two men, Tunney wants to make sure the match is delivered at Mania. Razor Ramon pinned Skinner with the Razor's Edge in 0:09:22. Rating: 1/2 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Razor Ramon was successful in his second defence of the Intercontinental Title with a hard fought win over the Alligator Man, Skinner. Ramon suffered a busted lip in the encounter. Another vignette aired building up the return of Bad News Brown. Bad News claimed he would deliver on his promise to become the company's first black champion. WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers cut a promo on the British Bulldogs. Rick and Scott said that they hold the belts because they are the best tag team in the world and that at Saturday Night's Main Event, they will enter with the belts and leave the same way. Ted DiBiase pinned Spike Gray with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:02:27. Rating: 1/4 After the match, Ted DiBiase took the mic and said he knew that Sensational Sherri was distraught about the prospect of working as Mr. Perfect's slave if Barry Windham loses the High Stakes match with Perfect at Saturday Night's Main Event. DiBiase assured her that would never happen. Sherri glared at the Widowmaker and warned him that it better not. Crush and Tatanka cut a promo on the demonic duo of Papa Shango and the Undertaker ahead of their showdown at Saturday Night's Main Event. They claimed that Shango's black magic would be useless against them and vowed to beat some sense back into the Deadman. Bob Backlund pinned Scotty Flamingo after a backslide in 0:08:43. Rating: * Once again, Scotty Flamingo took Bob Backlund to the limit and once again, the inexperienced Flamingo came up a little short. Flamingo kicked the ropes in frustration after the match - he had even managed to escape the cross-face chicken wing on two occasions! Backlund asked for a handshake after the contest, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, Flamingo refused and left the ring to a smattering of boos. Bret Hart made Damien DeMento submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:09:37. Rating: * 1/4 Seconds after Damien DeMento submitted to the Sharpshooter, Big Van Vader and Harley Race arrived on the scene. Vader attacked the Hitman from behind, threw him into the corner and pummelled him. Vader shoved Hart down to the canvas and held him in place for Race to go up top and deliver a diving headbutt. However, the Hitman moved at the last second and Race tasted nothing but mat! Hart connected with a barrage of punches on Vader and then dropkicked him out of the ring. The WWF Champion grabbed Race by the legs and looked out to the crowd for approval, before twisting Race into the Sharpshooter! The fans were going absolutely crazy as Race yelled out in agony!! Big Van Vader returned to the ring wielding a steel chair and cracked the Hitman in the back of the head with it, knocking the champion out cold! The fans booed Vader out of the building as he held the WWF Championship belt over his head. Circuit information: The latest shot in the feud between WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Big Van Vader has been fired. Vader knocked out the Hitman with a stiff chair shot as Hart was defenceless, having Vader's manager Harley Race trapped in the Sharpshooter. Vader held the Hitman's championship belt aloft in triumph after the attack - could this be a preview of what may happen after the main event of WrestleMania X?? A second match has been signed for WrestleMania and it is a match that WWF fans all around the globe are begging for - "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels! Savage's wife Elizabeth left the Macho Man for Shawn Michaels and ever since then the Heartbreak Kid and Liz have been making Savage's life as miserable as possible. Savage has vowed to end Michaels' career, which is exactly why WWF President Jack Tunney only agreed to the match if Savage does not attend any WWF event that HBK is booked on. This is to prevent any physical contact between the two men until Mania, as Savage would undoubtedly attempt to beat Michaels to within an inch of his life given half a chance! This weekend sees the return of Saturday Night's Main Event, live from the Arrowhead Pond in beautiful Anaheim, California. Let's preview the card... Crush and Tatanka vs. The Undertaker and Papa Shango Papa Shango claims to be the man who resurrected The Undertaker and has put a demonic spell on the Deadman, forcing 'Taker to turn his back on Paul Bearer. Undertaker is now forced to do whatever Shango wants, but Shango's plan to have the Undertaker help him win the Royal Rumble went awry when Crush eliminated both men with a double clothesline. Shango got his revenge when he placed a curse on the big Hawaiian midway through Crush's number one contenders match with Big Van Vader, costing Crush the match and a shot at the WWF Title. Crush drafted in his friend Tatanka to help him in his battle with the evil pair, setting up this hellacious tag team war! High Stakes Mr. Perfect vs. "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham Mr. Perfect's rivalry with "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, which stretches back to last summer, is well documented. However, when DiBiase brought in Barry Windham as his new bodyguard, Perfect's focus began to shift to the Widowmaker and the two men began to feud. Perfect put Windham out of action for three months with a knee injury after he repeatedly smashed Windhams' leg into the ringpost. The Widowmaker is back now and a frustrated DiBiase set up a match between his bodyguard and Perfect designed to cause the most embarrassing humiliation possible - if Perfect loses, he must work as DiBiase's slave until WrestleMania! Perfect only agreed to the bout with the stipulation that if he wins, Sensational Sherri must be his slave for the same time. Before DiBiase could consider this outcome, Windham quickly accepted, much to the chagrin of Sherri! The Widowmaker wants to make Perfect pay for putting him on the shelf - and Sherri better pray he delivers! There is a lot on the line in this one! WWF Tag Team Title Match The Steiner Brothers vs. The British Bulldogs The Bulldogs returned to the WWF last month and on their first night back they ended the year long Tag Team Title reign of the Steiners. Rick and Scott quickly won the belts back at the Royal Rumble and a subsequent singles series between the two teams ended in a draw. There is nothing to choose between these two talented and exciting teams and it is one of the most thrilling wrestling rivalries we have seen in some time. It continues on Saturday Night's Main Event with the belts on the line, but how this one will go is anyone's guess - just sit back and enjoy it! Jeff Jarrett vs. Tito Santana Cocky, brash, country music star "Double J" Jeff Jarrett's short WWF career has not been without controversy. In Jarrett's debut, he attacked the already injured Rick Martel's leg, forcing him to miss the Royal Rumble and any chance of a shot at the WWF Title. Martel had been hoping to return at that event, but after Jarrett's assault Martel has been ruled out for an undetermined length of time. This attack did not sit well with Tito Santana, who came to his former partner's aid. Santana and Martel had their problems in the past, but have since buried the hatchet and rekindled their friendship, with Santana doing his best to help Martel return to full fitness. Santana challenged Jarrett to this singles contest in order to get a measure of revenge for his injured friend. Join us this weekend for Saturday Night's Main Event! We can promise you a show that you do not want to miss!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/12/08 at 20:22:28 Saturday Night's Main Event February 26th, 1994 Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, CA Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Saturday Night's Main Event began with a video package featuring comments from all of tonight's participants. Sean Mooney interviewed WWF Tag Team Champions The Steiner Brothers backstage ahead of their title defence with the British Bulldogs. They were interrupted by Brian Pillman and "Stunning" Steve Austin, the Hollywood Blonds. The Blonds asked the Steiners for the next shot at the titles if they retain the gold tonight. Rick and Scott Steiner were annoyed with the interruption. Scott said that the Blonds had only been in the WWF for five minutes and didn't deserve a title opportunity. Rick told them not to call us, we'll call you. The Steiners left to make their way to the ring, leaving the Blonds livid. As The Steiner Brothers made their way down the aisle for their match, they were attacked from behind by the Hollywood Blonds! Austin and Pillman did quite the number on the champions, as Pillman slammed Rick onto the concrete floor and Austin dropped Scott throat-first across the guardrail! The British Bulldogs left the ring and ran the Blonds off, but the damage had been done. When the show returned from commercial, The Steiners and the Bulldogs were in the ring. After the Blonds' attack, The Bulldogs offered to postpone the match and do this another time. The Steiners were obviously in no condition to compete, but refused to swallow their pride and demanded that the referee ring the bell! The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) when Dynamite Kid pinned R. Steiner after a gutwrench suplex in 0:08:01. Rating: * 1/2 (The British Bulldogs won the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The celebrations from the new WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs were restrained, as they seemed preoccupied with helping the Steiners. Rick and Scott were still feeling the effects of the beating before the bout at the hands of the Hollywood Blonds. Jeff Jarrett pinned Tito Santana after a DDT in 0:06:10. Rating: * 1/2 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Tito Santana.] Jeff Jarrett came out on top when Tennessee Lee distracted Tito Santana and Double J spiked him with a DDT. After the match, Jeff Jarrett stomped away at Tito Santana's knee and locked him in the figure-four! Suddenly, Rick Martel sprinted out from the back and ran Jarrett off! Martel made it clear to Jarrett that his leg had healed and he was coming for Double J! In an interview before the next match, Sensational Sherri reiterated to "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham that defeat is not an option. Mr. Perfect pinned Barry Windham after a cross-body block in 0:11:47. Rating: * 1/2 The Arrowhead Pond came unglued when Mr. Perfect countered Barry Windham's superplex in mid-air and landed on top of him for the three count! As a result, Sensational Sherri must work as Perfect's slave until WrestleMania! Sherri looked on in complete disbelief after the match. As the reality of the situation set in, she made a run for it, trying to escape over the guardrail and through the crowd. However, Mr. Perfect cut her off and carried her over his shoulder to the back as the crowd cheered wildly!! Crush and Tatanka defeated Papa Shango and The Undertaker when Crush pinned Shango after the Hawaiian Smasher in 0:10:15. Rating: 1/2 [Madusa interfered against Crush.] The evil and demonic duo of Papa Shango and The Undertaker had this contest in complete control when the Deadman dropped Crush and Tatanka with a double choke slam! Then, Paul Bearer made his return, emerging from the back carrying a giant urn! The Undertaker appeared to be drawn to the urn and he left the ring, heading towards Bearer! Shango could sense something was wrong and he began chanting, whereupon 'Taker turned back towards him! The Deadman was clearly conflicted, but when Bearer raised the urn aloft, The Deadman walked over to him, dropped down and struck the urn pose!! The crowd was going crazy as Shango looked on in disbelief, feeling his clutches on The Undertaker slipping away. With his concentration on the match in hand nonexistent, Shango walked into Crush's Hawaiian Smasher for the three count! With The Undertaker by his side once again, Paul Bearer sent the Man from the Darkside into the ring. 'Taker placed a hand around Papa Shango's throat, but Madusa jumped on his back and clawed at his eyes! Undertaker threw her down hard to the mat, before picking her back up and drilling her with the Tombstone to a tremendous pop! The Undertaker then dropped Papa Shango with another Tombstone, but before he could do any further damage, Paul Bearer grabbed him by the air! As Bearer held the new and improved urn up in triumph, The Undertaker dropped down to one knee and did the urn pose to close the show. Circuit information: The Undertaker has been reunited with manager Paul Bearer tonight after Bearer used a new magical urn to break the spell that Papa Shango had over the Deadman. Bearer and 'Taker are out for payback on the voodoo master for his manipulation. The upcoming 'Taker-Shango tussle is sure to be a titanic battle. The British Bulldogs recaptured the WWF Tag Team Titles from the Steiner Brothers this evening, but only after The Hollywood Blonds had assaulted the Steiners before the match began. The Bulldogs offered to delay the match, but the Steiners' fighting spirit got the better of them and they demanded that the match go ahead. The Steiners had their brief flurries of offence, but in the end Davey Boy Smith destroyed Rick Steiner with a succession of European uppercuts and then Dynamite planted Rick with a gutwrench suplex for the three count and the tag straps. Our cameras caught up with the Blonds after the show, where they revealed that they carried out their attack because they felt that the Steiners disrespected them after Austin and Pillman requested a shot at the titles. You can bet that there will be serious repercussions for the Hollywood Blonds, courtesy of the Steiners. Sensational Sherri will spend the next three weeks working as Mr. Perfect's slave after Barry Windham dropped his high stakes bout to Perfect tonight! This is the ultimate humiliation for Sherri, who is used to the high life as the Million Dollar Man's manager. Who knows what menial tasks Mr. Perfect has in store for Sherri?! Rick Martel returned tonight after a long layoff with a quadriceps injury that had been exacerbated by Jeff Jarrett in early January. Martel revealed that his leg is now 100% and he wants a piece of Double J as soon as possible! We hope you enjoyed tonight's show and that you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, which will feature all the fallout from Saturday Night's Main Event! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/16/08 at 15:24:07 Monday Night RAW February 28th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. A video package aired featuring the happenings from this past weekend's Saturday Night's Main Event show, where the British Bulldogs defeated the Steiner Brothers to capture the WWF Tag Team Titles for a third time, Mr. Perfect defeated Barry Windham so Sensational Sherri must work as Perfect's slave until WrestleMania and Papa Shango's spell over The Undertaker was broken thanks to Paul Bearer. Monday Night RAW got off to a wild start as The Steiner Brothers dragged The Hollywood Blonds out from the back and beat the crap out of them. The Blonds had attacked the Steiners before Rick and Scott's Tag Team Title defence at Saturday Night's Main Event and the Steiners ended up dropping the straps. Officials and road agents were having a hard time restraining the Steiners, which brought out the British Bulldogs to attempt to diffuse the situation. Tempers soon flared and the Bulldogs were dragged into a three way tag team brawl! WWF officials tried to gain control of the situation as RAW went to commercial. Doink the Clown pinned Lightning Kid with the Whoopie Cushion in 0:07:04. Rating: *** 1/2 Vince McMahon entered the ring and announced that this weekend on WWF Superstars, Bret "Hitman" Hart and Big Van Vader would sign the contract for their WWF Title Match at WrestleMania X. McMahon was interrupted by Virgil of all people, who claimed that everyone seemed to have forgotten that it was Vader who stole his spot in the Royal Rumble and robbed him of a chance of wrestling for the WWF Championship. Virgil said that the contract signing could wait and challenged Vader to put his title shot on the line against him...tonight! Back from the break and Vince McMahon said that he had received word that Virgil's challenge had been accepted by Big Van Vader and Harley Race. Another vignette aired for Bad News Brown. This one was shot on the streets of Harlem. Bad News will return to the WWF this weekend on Superstars! Kevin Kelly pinned Tommy Morrison with the Going Straight in 0:03:40. Rating: -1/2* "Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted a WrestleMania report, in which he announced that The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango and Rick Martel vs. Jeff Jarrett had been signed for the show. An interview with Rick Martel was shown, in which he thanked Tito Santana for his friendship and his assistance in helping him get back to full fitness. Martel promised that he would make Jarrett pay in the most painful manner possible at WrestleMania. A video was shown of Sensational Sherri working as Mr. Perfect's slave. Perfect was making Sherri scrub his oven, do all his washing and then told her to clean his wrestling boots, before telling her that he had deliberately walked through a field and they were covered in horse manure! The Tazmaniac pinned Derek Domino after a tiger suplex in 0:05:28. Rating: 3/4* Backstage, Scott Flamingo entered Bob Backlund's dressing room and apologised for his behaviour last week after their match. Backlund and Flamingo shook hands and then Flamingo asked him for one more match in order to prove himself. Backlund accepted the match for next week's show. Number-One-Contenders-Match: Big Van Vader pinned Virgil after a short lariat in 0:03:09. Rating: ** Big Van Vader wasted no time in completely annihilating Virgil, putting him out of his misery with a lariat that almost decapitated him. Vader continued to punish Virgil after the bout was over. Vader hammered Virgil in the corner with a series of body shots, before slamming him on the canvas and flattening him with a Vader Bomb as Harley Race directed traffic. Vader went up again in order to deliver another, but Bret Hart hit the ring with a steel chair in hand! Hart sent Vader from the squared circle with two hard shots to the back with the chair, before drilling Race with a chair shot for good measure! The Hitman stood in the ring triumphant, while Race, who was in a world of hurt, did his best to restrain the Mastodon! Circuit information: Big Van Vader assaulted Bret Hart with a chair last week; tonight, the WWF Champion returned the favour. This weekend on Superstars, these two men will sign the contract for their WWF Championship match at WrestleMania X in what has the potential to be a very volatile situation. If this passes without incident I shall be very surprised. Speaking of volatile situations, The Steiner Brothers wasted no time in going after the Hollywood Blonds this evening. WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs came out to separate the two teams, but after Davey Boy and Dynamite caught a few stray punches, they soon became embroiled in the brawl. After what went down on Saturday Night's Main Event, WWF President Jack Tunney feels that the Steiners deserve a shot at the titles and they'll get that opportunity in two weeks on Superstars. Here's how the card is shaping up for WrestleMania X from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live on March 20th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Rick Martel
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/19/08 at 21:46:06 WWF Superstars March 5th, 1994 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Comments aired from champion and challenger in the WWF Championship Match at WrestleMania X, Bret "Hitman" Hart and Big Van Vader. They'll sign the contract for their title match on tonight's show. Bad News Brown pinned Brian Walsh with the Ghetto Blaster in 0:03:46. Rating: * 3/4 Mean and sullen as ever, Bad News Brown returned to the World Wrestling Federation with a quick win thanks to his devastating Ghetto Blaster. The referee tried to raise Bad News' hand after the bout, but Bad News lifted him up in a choke lift! Brown warned the official to never touch him again, before throwing him down to the mat hard! The Birdman pinned Jerry Seavy with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:28. Rating: * An interview with Shawn Michaels and Liz was shown, in which they claimed that the real reason that Jack Tunney is prohibiting Randy Savage from attending WWF events is actually for Savage's own safety. Michaels added that he would give Savage the beating of his life the next time he sees him. Next week on Superstars, The Heartbreak Kid goes one-on-one with Max Moon. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Ralph Mosca with the Diving Headbutt in 0:02:37. Rating: * 1/2 During the match, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo saying that losing the Intercontinental Title was a blessing in disguise, because now he could move on to bigger and better things. Friar Ferguson pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the Missionary Position in 0:02:55. Rating: Papa Shango cut a promo on The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Shango vowed to send the Deadman down to the depths of hell at WrestleMania for turning his back on him, before setting a casket on fire that contained an effigy of The Undertaker. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) and The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn a nd Bart Gunn) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) and The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when Bart Gunn defeated Manuel via pinfall in 0:10:26. Rating: * 1/4 The finish to this one came when Manuel held Bart Gunn in place so Afa could blast him with a coconut. However, Bart moved at the last split second and Afa busted the coconut over Manuel's head! Bart then rolled up Manuel for the three count. After the match, The Arabian Butchers confronted Afa over his mistake. Manuel and Victor were seething and threatened Afa with physical violence, but Fatu and Samu came to their manager's aid. The Headshrinkers and the Butchers soon began brawling, with Fatu and Samu coming out on top. The Headshrinkers were cheered throughout all of this. It was time for the contract signing for the WWF Championship Match at WrestleMania X. "Mean" Gene Okerlund and WWF President Jack Tunney stood patiently by a table inside the ring, waiting for champion and challenger to make their entrance. Big Van Vader and Harley Race came out to loud jeers from the capacity crowd, while WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart was given a standing ovation from the fans. Vader and the Hitman had an intense staredown in the centre of the ring, while Okerlund implored them to be seated and show some decorum. Hart and Vader eventually took their seats, while Tunney handed each of them a copy of the contract and explained the rules of the contest. Hart and Vader signed the contracts without ever taking their eyes off one another - you could cut the atmosphere between the two men with a knife! Harley Race grabbed the mic and claimed that Bret Hart had just signed his career away! Race said that not only would the Hitman's title reign end at WrestleMania, but so too would his career, because there is a 458 lb Rocky Mountain monster gunning for him! Race added that the referee wouldn't save Hart's title for him this time. Undeterred, the Hitman took the mic and asked Race if he remembers when he locked him in the Sharpshooter last week. Hart said that he remembers how Race screamed and begged while the Hitman had him locked in the hold. Hart said that the same thing would happen in the centre of the ring at WrestleMania, when the Hitman ties up Vader in the Sharpshooter and Vader is begging for mercy! That comment did not go down well with the Mastodon, who rammed the table into the stomach of Bret Hart, who was seated at the other end! Tunney and Okerlund bailed, while Race told Vader to take care of the Hitman. Vader dragged Bret Hart up by the hair and then power bombed him through the table, sending the contracts flying up into the air! Vader seized the WWF Championship belt and slapped the Hitman, while Race got in Hart's face and yelled that Hart was looking at the next WWF Champion!! Circuit information: Contract signings in professional wrestling traditionally do not end well and tonight's was no exception. Big Van Vader ended up power bombing Bret Hart through the table as the war between these two men continues with just two weeks to go before they clash over the WWF Title in the main event of WrestleMania. Jack Tunney is reviewing this situation and is said to be concerned with the lack of discipline and respect for the rules as of late in the World Wrestling Federation. Expect an announcement from our esteemed president this coming week on Monday Night RAW. Bad News Brown obviously hasn't changed much during his hiatus from the WWF. Bad News destroyed the unfortunate Brian Walsh in his first match back tonight and then choked out the official for good measure. Brown can expect a hefty fine in the near future but make no mistake, Bad News Brown is back and he means business. The Headshrinkers turned face tonight after The Arabian Butchers blamed Afa for a miscommunication that cost them their eight man tag team match tonight. The Butchers wanted to teach Afa a painful lesson, but Fatu and Samu made the save. Here's how the card is shaping up for WrestleMania X from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live on March 20th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Rick Martel Join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where Razor Ramon puts the Intercontinental Championship on the line against Repo Man, plus Scotty Flamingo and Bob Backlund continue their sporting rivalry as they meet one more time. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/30/08 at 19:08:29 Monday Night RAW March 7th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with a shot of WWF President Jack Tunney in his office. As footage rolled of the contract signing between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Big Van Vader this past weekend on Superstars which quickly spiralled out of control, Tunney revealed his concerns that the WWF Championship Match at WrestleMania X could potentially break down very quickly due to the hatred between the two men. It was for this reason that Tunney was appointing a special troubleshooting guest referee for the bout - someone he is certain can handle things should the match start to fall apart. Tunney announced that the guest referee for the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania will be none other than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!! Jack Tunney then addressed the recent instances of WWF superstars ignoring the rules in recent matches and showing no respect for the officials. Tunney sternly warned the wrestlers about their future conduct, when he was interrupted by an attractive young blonde businesswoman. This woman introduced herself to Tunney as Tamara Murphy Fytch, claiming that she had recently graduated from Wellesley College. She said her dream was to be just like Hillary Clinton and inquired about taking up a job within the World Wrestling Federation. Tunney said that now wasn't a good time with WrestleMania coming up. Fytch tried to give Tunney a copy of her CV, but Tunney brushed her off, saying he had a lot of work to be getting on with. Owen Hart pinned Mike Williams with the Rocket Launcher in 0:03:39. Rating: ** 1/4 The Undertaker and Paul Bearer cut a promo on Papa Shango ahead of their showdown at WrestleMania. 'Taker was constructing a special tombstone for the voodoo master. Jerry Lawler pinned Bobby Perez with the Piledriver in 0:05:07. Rating: * 1/4 The Steiner Brothers cut a promo on The British Bulldogs ahead of their Tag Team Title Match on Superstars. Rick and Scott vowed to win back the belts this weekend, and then they said they would take care of The Hollywood Blonds. Razor Ramon pinned Repo Man with the Razor's Edge in 0:10:29. Rating: * 3/4 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) "Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted another WrestleMania report, in which he announced that a 20-man battle royal would be the opening match on the show, with the winner getting an Intercontinental Title shot later on the event! Jack Tunney has also decreed that after he assaulted an official this past weekend on Superstars, Bad News Brown will not be a part of this match. Promos aired from several of the superstars booked in the battle royal, such as Crush, Adam Bomb, Lex Luger, Tatanka and The Quebecers. Skinner pinned Bobby East with the Gatorbreaker in 0:02:54. Rating: DUD Skinner helped his young opponent to his feet after the match, before spitting tobacco juice in his face! Another video of Mr. Perfect and Sensational Sherri was shown. A furious Sherri was busy cleaning Perfect's car. Perfect picked up a bucket and offered to help Sherri wash off the soap, before dousing her with the water! Perfect laughed and walked off, leaving an apoplectic Sherri to throw a tantrum! An irate Ted DiBiase and Barry Windham had watched the segment on a monitor backstage. The Widowmaker challenged Mr. Perfect to a match at WrestleMania and claimed he would put things right for DiBiase and Sherri. Vince McMahon then announced that Perfect will be in action on Monday Night RAW next week - with Sherri in his corner! Scotty Flamingo pinned Bob Backlund with the Piledriver in 0:08:18. Rating: 1/2 The competitive wrestling rivalry between youngster Scotty Flamingo and veteran Bob Backlund turned nasty tonight. During the course of this encounter, Flamingo knocked the referee down with an errant elbow. As Backlund checked on the official, Flamingo swung him round and smashed him over the head with his surfboard, the force of which broke the board and busted Backlund open from ear to ear! Backlund was bleeding buckets as Flamingo picked him up and piledrove him on the remnants of the surfboard! Flamingo then covered Backlund and finally secured a win over the former WWF Champion. Scotty Flamingo's conduct earned him the jeers of the fans, but this arrogant and disrespectful young man didn't seem to care one bit. He left the ring and revelled in the win that he had wanted so badly, leaving Bob Backlund down and bleeding like a stuck pig. Circuit information: Scotty Flamingo is such a scumbag. He has been obsessed with defeating Bob Backlund for weeks to no avail, but tonight he made sure he got the job done by breaking the rules. Flamingo destroyed his surfboard over Backlund's head, opening a massive gash that needed fifteen stitches to close. Flamingo's actions tonight were reprehensible and will not go unpunished. We can reveal that Mr. Perfect has accepted Barry Windham's challenge for WrestleMania. I, for one, am looking forward to these two meeting one more time. Windham will be out to make Perfect pay dearly for the way Perfect is treating Sherri. What a stroke of genius by Jack Tunney in appointing "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as the special guest troubleshooting referee for the WWF Title Match between Bret Hart and Big Van Vader at WrestleMania! I can't think of a better candidate to assume control of what will undoubtedly be a brutal and unforgiving encounter at Madison Square Garden. Here's how the card is shaping up for WrestleMania X from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live on March 20th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship with Special Guest Referee "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango 20 Man Battle Royal with the winner facing Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship later in the show Mr. Perfect vs. Barry Windham "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Rick Martel We have a loaded show for you this weekend on Superstars, where The British Bulldogs defend the Tag Team Titles against The Steiner Brothers, Adam Bomb battles Crush and Shawn Michaels squares off against Max Moon! Don't you dare miss it!
piperfan18	Posted on 08/31/08 at 03:41:03 I am predicting a Vader win at Mania or Bret pulls an upset. Also where is IRS is my FAVORITE gimmick EVER.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/31/08 at 10:54:03 IRS quit in late '93.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/06/08 at 16:37:41 WWF Superstars March 12th, 1994 Stabler Arena, Bethlehem, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Before the WWF Tag Team Title Match began, The Hollywood Blonds brought a couple of director's chairs out and took a seat at ringside, watching the action from there. The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) and The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) battled to a no contest in 0:16:34. Rating: *** 1/4 (The British Bulldogs retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) [The Hollywood Blonds interfered against Rick Steiner.] [The Hollywood Blonds interfered against Davey Boy Smith.] The presence of "Stunning" Steve Austin and Brian Pillman proved to be a distraction to both teams, but The Bulldogs and The Steiners still put on a decent match. In the end, the Blonds ruined the contest when Davey Boy Smith and Rick Steiner fell out of the ring. Austin and Pillman each grabbed a title belt and clocked Rick and Davey Boy with the gold, knocking them out. The Blonds then attacked Scott and Dynamite, laying them out and drilling each man with their finisher, the Atomic Blonds. Austin and Pillman posed with the championships while the fans booed them out of the building. Marty Jannetty pinned Rudy Flores after a flying cross body press in 0:03:54. Rating: 1/2* A WrestleMania X report aired, hosted by Gene Okerlund. Okerlund announced that after the events of this past week on Monday Night RAW, a match had been signed for WrestleMania between Scotty Flamingo and Bob Backlund. A bandaged up Backlund then cut a promo on Flamingo, promising to teach him a lesson in respect at Mania. Crush defeated Adam Bomb by disqualification in 0:08:14. Rating: * 1/2 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Crush.] This match between two powerhouses ended when Adam Bomb threw Crush over the top rope, but Crush got his arm caught and was tangled up in the ropes. The referee tried to free Crush, but Bomb continued to unload on the defenceless Hawaiian with punches and kicks. The official disqualified Bomb for his assault and the Creation of Devastation responded by tossing the referee out of the ring! Bomb continued to get a few more shots in on Crush before officials and road agents hit the ring and forced Bomb to leave. Max Moon pinned Shawn Michaels after an inside cradle in 0:10:29. Rating: * 3/4 [Liz interfered against Max Moon.] Max Moon brought the fight to Shawn Michaels tonight, but the Heartbreak Kid took control after Moon missed his twisting bodypress from the top rope. The match was then interrupted by the appearance of "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the video wall! The crowd was going crazy and Michaels was clearly distracted by Savage, forgetting all about Moon. Savage said that he was in the parking lot and because of the promise he made to Jack Tunney, Savage couldn't come into the arena - but Michaels could come outside! Savage said that he couldn't wait until WrestleMania and dared Michaels to come and fight him in the parking lot right then and there!! Michaels looked flustered by this turn of events as Savage questioned whether or not he had the guts! Suddenly, Moon rolled up Michaels from behind, scoring the three count! Feeling humiliated, Shawn Michaels left the ring and stormed up the aisle, with Liz in hot pursuit. The cameras followed them all the way through the backstage area, with Liz begging the Heartbreak Kid not to do this and claiming that it was a trap! Michaels kicked the door open to the parking lot, but Savage was nowhere to be seen. Michaels picked up a lead pipe and challenged Savage to show himself! Suddenly, there was a flash of headlights and a screech of tyres! Savage was then shown speeding towards Michaels in his car!! Liz screamed as Michaels jumped out of the way in the nick of time, while Savage crashed into the side of one of the WWF trucks! Liz helped HBK back to his feet and the two of them ran over to Michaels' car. They got in and sped off quickly, while the Macho Man got out of his now severely damaged car and ran after them briefly, cursing them all the way. Circuit information: What an incredible end to tonight's edition of WWF Superstars!! "Macho Man" Randy Savage attempted to run Shawn Michaels down in his car after his distraction resulted in an embarrassing loss for Michaels against Max Moon! Savage claims that by stealing his wife Liz away from him, Michaels ruined his life; tonight, Savage tried to end Shawn Michaels' career. You can guarantee that when these two men collide at Madison Square Garden next week at WrestleMania, it will not be for the weak of heart! The Hollywood Blonds ruined another potentially classic WWF Tag Team Title Match between the British Bulldogs and The Steiner Brothers tonight. The Steiners and the Bulldogs both want to get their hands on the Blonds and the Blonds want a crack at the titles, so Jack Tunney has decided to kill two birds with one stone. He has booked an intriguing Triple Threat Elimination Match for WrestleMania, a first for the World Wrestling Federation, with the Tag Team Titles on the line. The way the match will work is that the first fall eliminates one team, reducing the match to a standard one-fall tag team match with the winners being crowned WWF Tag Team Champions. So much for Jack Tunney's appeal for WWF superstars to respect the rules and the officials. On the past two shows, we have seen multiple instances of referees being attacked, wrestlers continue to beat on their opponents after the match is over and foreign object use. How will Tunney respond now? Here's how the card is shaping up for WrestleMania X from Madison Square Garden in New York City, live on March 20th only on pay-per-view: WWF Championship with Special Guest Referee "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango WWF Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Elimination Match** The British Bulldogs vs. The Steiner Brothers vs. The Hollywood Blonds 20 Man Battle Royal with the winner facing Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship later in the show Mr. Perfect vs. Barry Windham "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Rick Martel Bob Backlund vs. Scotty Flamingo Coming up this week on Monday Night RAW, Bret "Hitman" Hart warms up for Big Van Vader by taking on former Intercontinental Champion "The Beast from the East" Bam Bam Bigelow, plus Mr. Perfect will be in action (with his slave Sensational Sherri in his corner) and we'll bring you a very special interview with the troubleshooting guest referee for the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania X, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/15/08 at 22:02:00 Monday Night RAW March 14th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with Bam Bam Bigelow making his way to the ring for his non-title match with WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. The Hitman entered the ring to a thunderous response from the crowd and wasn't showing any ill-effects from the contract signing attack by Big Van Vader just over a week ago. The Beast from the East took the mic and said that he knew that Hart was just using him as a warm up for Vader at WrestleMania, but Bigelow dared the Hitman to make things more interesting and put the WWF Title on the line right here tonight!! Hart looked down at his championship belt and then over at Bigelow, before nodding in agreement! Vince McMahon questioned the Hitman's decision in agreeing to defend the title against such a formidable opponent just six days away from WrestleMania as RAW cut to commercial. Bret Hart pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a Victory Roll in 0:16:04. Rating: ** (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Bret Hart scored the win here in a tremendous bout when he perched on Bam Bam Bigelow's shoulders and rolled him up for the pinfall. Big Van Vader and Harley Race appeared in the aisle to confront the Hitman, but officials and road agents swarmed to get between the two men. Hart stood on the second rope and held his title in the air, while Race yelled that after WrestleMania, the title would belong to Vader. Vince McMahon said that he would interview the special guest referee for the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania X, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, later in the show. Footage rolled from a couple of weeks ago on Superstars when The Headshrinkers turned face after a miscommunication with the Arabian Butchers during an eight man tag team match. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) and The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) battled to a double countout in 0:10:58. Rating: 1/2 Nothing was settled between these two teams tonight and they continued to fight after the bell. Even Afa and Mr. Fuji became involved in the melee as they all brawled to the back. WWF President Jack Tunney was seated at the desk in his office at the WWF headquarters. Tunney revealed his disappointment that his warning about showing respect to the rules and the officials was not heeded during the past week. Tunney stated that if his wrestlers did not want to play by the rules, then he was going to create a division that doesn't have any rules! Tunney announced the formation of the WWF Hardcore Title and was booking a match at WrestleMania X to crown the very first champion! Tunney invited all the Federation's brawlers to enter the Hardcore Invitational Match at 'Mania, where there would be no rules and the man who scores the first fall will become the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion! Tunney was then interrupted once again by Tammy Fytch, who was sucking up to the WWF President big time and commending him on his latest decision. Tammy asked if he had had a chance to think about offering her a position within the company. Tunney said that he hadn't; he was simply too busy and then asked her to leave. Frustrated, Tammy stormed out of the office. Mr. Perfect pinned Bert Centeno with the Perfect Plex in 0:03:13. Rating: ** During the match, Ted DiBiase and Barry Windham came out, wanting Sensational Sherri back. As soon as Mr. Perfect picked up the quick win with the Perfect Plex, DiBiase and Windham hit the ring and attacked Perfect. They beat him down and then began whipping him with belts as Sherri cheered them on! Windham choked out Perfect with his belt and held him in place so Sherri could slap him across the face! The vicious assault was soon broken up by referees. Gene Okerlund hosted the final WrestleMania X report, in which he announced that Marty Jannetty, Owen Hart, the Lightning Kid, the Beverly Brothers, Doink the Clown and Jerry "The King" Lawler would all be participating in the battle royal on the event, with the winner facing the Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon later in the show. Okerlund said that all of the participants in the battle royal will meet in a gigantic twenty man tag team match this weekend on Superstars! An interview with Ramon was then shown, in which he said he would remain champion regardless of who is victorious in the battle royal. Vince McMahon stood in the centre of the ring and introduced "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to the crowd. Piper was given a standing ovation as he came out for his interview. McMahon asked him how he was going to officiate such an important and volatile WWF Championship Match between Bret Hart and Big Van Vader in the main event of the biggest show of the year. Piper said that he would allow some leeway with the rules, because he wanted to determine a clear winner as the fans deserve it. Big Van Vader and Harley Race then came out to interrupt the segment and intimidate Piper. Race said that the last time Vader and Bret Hart clashed over the championship, the Mastodon was screwed out of the title by the referee. Race warned Piper that this better not happen again. Piper said that if Vader strikes him, then Piper will have no problem hitting him back! The crowd popped as Piper and Vader went nose-to-nose to end the show! Circuit information! We are just six days away from WrestleMania X, live from Madison Square Garden in New York City only on pay-per-view! It's an event that is ten years in the making and the card has now been finalised!! WWF Championship with Special Guest Referee "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Big Van Vader Since his debut in November of last year, Big Van Vader has been on the warpath in a relentless pursuit of the WWF Championship. Led by the nefarious Harley Race, Vader secured a title shot with the Hitman at the Royal Rumble, but Vader's intensity proved to be his undoing and he was disqualified for striking the official. Later that night, Vader stole a spot in the Rumble match and ended up winning it in controversial fashion. Vader then defeated Crush in a number one contenders match, setting up this showdown with Bret Hart at WrestleMania with the title on the line. There is a real hatred between these two men and because this match has so much potential to implode, WWF President Jack Tunney assigned a special troubleshooting referee for the bout - "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! Piper has guaranteed a decisive winner at WrestleMania and with Vader yet to taste a pinfall or submission defeat in the WWF, Bret Hart will have to be on top of his game if he wants to remain champion. "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels After a turbulent year for Randy Savage and his wife Elizabeth, Savage wanted to renew his wedding vows to show how much Elizabeth means to him. The ceremony didn't go off without a hitch, as Elizabeth revealed that she was sleeping with Shawn Michaels and she demanded a divorce! Randy Savage was at his nadir, until he realised that he still very much had the support of the fans and his peers. Savage is now determined to end the career of The Heartbreak Kid and we were given an indication of the measures he will go to last week on Superstars when he attempted to mow down Michaels with his car! Since Elizabeth blew the lid on her affair with Michaels, Savage has yet to get his hands on the Heartbreak Kid. He will do at WrestleMania and who knows what Savage is capable of in his current mindset?! The Undertaker vs. Papa Shango Papa Shango's claims that it was he who resurrected The Undertaker appeared to be true when he placed a spell on the Man from the Darkside. 'Taker subsequently turned his back on longtime manager Paul Bearer, which totally negated the power of the urn. For weeks, Shango used the Undertaker to carry out his dirty work, attacking superstars left, right and centre. This went on until Paul Bearer returned at Saturday Night's Main Event, when he brought out a larger urn and managed to break Shango's spell. The Undertaker is out for revenge after Shango's mind manipulation and is determined to make the voodoo master rest in piece at WrestleMania. WWF Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Elimination Match The British Bulldogs vs. The Steiner Brothers vs. The Hollywood Blonds The undefeated Hollywood Blonds rudely interjected themselves into the rivalry between WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs and The Steiner Brothers, which has seen the two latter teams trade the straps. The Blonds attacked the Steiners before their title defence with the Bulldogs at Saturday Night's Main Event, leading to Rick and Scott dropping the gold. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin also ruined the rematch last week on Superstars, putting a beating on both teams. The Steiners and the Bulldogs both want to get their hands on the Blonds and the Blonds want a crack at the titles, so Jack Tunney has decided to give everybody what they want. He has booked an intriguing Triple Threat Elimination Match for WrestleMania, a first for the World Wrestling Federation, with the Tag Team Titles on the line. The way the match will work is that the first fall eliminates one team, reducing the match to a standard one-fall tag team match with the winners being crowned WWF Tag Team Champions. 20 Man Battle Royal with the winner facing Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship later in the show This contest will open the show and the list of participants includes the Big Boss Man, the Smoking Gunns, Crush, the Lightning Kid, Marty Jannetty, Max Moon, Owen Hart, Tatanka, Virgil, Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, Doink the Clown, Lex Luger, The Quebecers, Ted DiBiase, Jerry "The King" Lawler and the Beverly Brothers! These superstars will clash in an enormous tag team bout this weekend on Superstars. Meanwhile, a confident Razor Ramon has admitted that he doesn't care who emerges as his opponent at WrestleMania. There are a lot of hungry superstars in this battle royal and this is a great opportunity for them - Razor better not be taking this situation lightly. Strap Match Mr. Perfect vs. Barry Windham The bitter feud between these two men has been well documented. "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham returned in January from a knee injury he suffered at the hands of Mr. Perfect, attacking Perfect after he had come to the aid of the Lightning Kid. Windham dropped a match at Saturday Night's Main Event to Perfect and as a result, Sensational Sherri had to work as Perfect's slave. Windham extended the challenge to Perfect for WrestleMania to get back in the good graces of Ted DiBiase and Sherri and to get payback for the degrading and humiliating tasks that Perfect has ordered Sherri to do. After tonight's assault by Windham and DiBiase, Perfect has asked for his match with Windham at 'Mania to be changed to a Strap Match and WWF officials have complied. This Strap Match at WrestleMania is guaranteed to be extremely physical and brutal. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs. Rick Martel Cocky, brash, country music star "Double J" Jeff Jarrett's short WWF career has not been without controversy. In Jarrett's debut, he attacked the already injured Rick Martel's leg, forcing him to miss the Royal Rumble and any chance of a shot at the WWF Title. Martel had been hoping to return at that event, but after Jarrett's assault Martel has been ruled out for an undetermined length of time. This attack did not sit well with Tito Santana, who came to his former partner's aid. Santana and Martel have had their problems in the past, but have since buried the hatchet and rekindled their friendship, with Santana doing his best to help Martel return to full fitness. Jarrett defeated Santana at Saturday Night's Main Event and then tried to injure him with the figure four, but Martel returned the favour and made the save. Rick Martel has since guaranteed painful payback for Double J at WrestleMania. Bob Backlund vs. Scotty Flamingo Youngster Scotty Flamingo and veteran Bob Backlund engaged in a friendly wrestling rivalry, with Flamingo coming up short each time in their encounters. This competition turned sour last week on Monday Night RAW, when Flamingo finally scored that elusive victory over Backlund by breaking his surfboard over Bob's head and busting him wide open. At WrestleMania, Backlund has vowed to teach the arrogant Flamingo a few lessons in respect that Flamingo will never forget! Hardcore Invitational to crown the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion Sick and tired of the spate of rulebreaking in the WWF, Jack Tunney decided to create a special division where there are no rules. Tunney has invited all of the brawlers on the roster to compete in this wild and crazy one fall match, where weapons aren't just permitted - they are encouraged! In this no holds barred brawl, the referee will allow anything and pinfalls or submissions can occur anywhere, not just in the ring! The battleground of Madison Square Garden seems to be the only appropriate place for this war!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/28/08 at 17:14:09 WWF Superstars March 19th, 1994 Stabler Arena, Bethlehem, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with the debut of a very unique individual, Mantaur, who is Kim Chee's latest acquisition. From the Isle of Crete, the 400 lb Mantaur appears to be half-man, half-bull, as he came to the ring scraping his feet on the ground and mooing. Mantaur pinned Buddy Wayne with the Stampede in 0:05:16. Rating: -1/4* Mantaur was victorious in debut match, which he spent most of charging and mauling poor Buddy Wayne before putting him away with an avalanche. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly), The Quebecers (Quebecer J acques and Quebecer Pierre), Adam Bomb, Doink the Clown, Jerry Lawler, Lex Luger, Ted DiBiase and Bam Bam Bigelow and The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn), Big Boss Man, Crush, Lightning Kid, Marty Jannetty, Max Moon, Owen Hart, Tatanka and Virgil battled to a no contest in 0:38:13. Rating: *** 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Bart Gunn.] After close to forty minutes of action, the match completely broke down and the referee lost all control. Superstars were soon being tossed from the ring until just Adam Bomb and Crush were left between the ropes. Picking up where they left off on last week's show, these two behemoths took the fight to one another. Bomb went for an Atom Smasher, but Crush backdropped his way out of it. Showing incredible strength, Crush pressed the 300 lb Creation of Devastation over his head and threw him onto the mass of bodies who were brawling around ringside! Crush, who has the momentum going into WrestleMania, whipped the crowd into a frenzy as the show went off air! Circuit information: The waiting is almost over! WrestleMania X is live tomorrow night from Madison Square Garden in New York City, only on pay-per-view! It's an event that is ten years in the making and the card has now been finalised!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/28/08 at 17:23:41 WRESTLEMANIA X March 20th, 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The ring began to fill up with bodies as the opening match was a 20 Man Battle Royal to determine who will challenge Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship later in the night. 20-Man Battle Royal: Lex Luger won a 20-man Battle Royal: x Kid threw out M. Moon in 0:00:34 x DiBiase threw out Boss Man in 0:02:18 x Crush threw out Bigelow after a belly-to-back suplex in 0:03:59 x Doink threw out O. Hart in 0:04:00 x Doink threw out Kid in 0:05:46 x A. Bomb threw out Tatanka after a forearm to the back in 0:07:06 x DiBiase threw out Billy Gunn in 0:08:03 x Lawler threw out Jannetty in 0:08:35 x Luger threw out Bart Gunn after a clothesline in 0:09:18 x A. Bomb threw out Virgil in 0:10:54 x Crush threw out Lawler in 0:11:41 x A. Bomb threw out DiBiase after a duck-down move in 0:12:27 x Jacques threw out Blake after a flying back elbow in 0:13:53 x Luger threw out Jacques in 0:14:45 x Crush threw out Pierre after a Hotshot in 0:15:14 x Beau threw out Doink in 0:16:09 x Luger threw out Beau in 0:17:37 x Crush threw out A. Bomb in 0:19:25 x Luger threw out Crush after a clothesline in 0:19:35 Rating: * 1/2 [The Genius interfered against Marty Jannetty.] [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Tatanka.] [Jimmy Hart and The Genius interfered against Virgil.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Adam Bomb.] [The Genius and Jimmy Hart interfered against Doink the Clown.] [Jimmy Hart and The Genius interfered against Lex Luger.] [Adam Bomb interfered against Crush.] The battle royal eventually came down to three of the favourites to win it - Crush, Adam Bomb and Lex Luger. Crush and Bomb have had issues with each other going into the show and when Crush eliminated Bomb, this did not sit well with the Creation of Devastation. Bomb hooked Crush's leg, distracting him, which allowed Luger to clothesline the big Hawaiian over the top rope and win the bout! Crush and Adam Bomb brawled all the way to the back after the match, while Lex Luger celebrated his victory and prepared to challenge Razor Ramon later on. Scotty Flamingo pinned Bob Backlund after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:07:23. Rating: * 1/4 Bob Backlund came to WrestleMania with the sole purpose of gaining a measure of revenge on Scotty Flamingo for busting him open with his surfboard two weeks ago. Tonight, Flamingo went right after Backlund's bandaged head and attempted to open up the cut. The finish came when Flamingo reached into his tights and pulled out a pair of brass knuckles, which he used to KO Backlund for the win. The Undertaker pinned Papa Shango with the Tombstone in 0:12:06. Rating: 1/2 [Madusa interfered against The Undertaker.] Papa Shango appeared to have this bout in the bag when he drilled The Undertaker with the shoulderbreaker and then planted him with the Voodoo Slam on the floor! Instead of going for the pin, Shango went after Paul Bearer and his new giant urn, but The Undertaker sat up and cut Shango off with a choke slam on the floor! 'Taker then spiked the voodoo priest with a Tombstone in the centre of the ring to blow off their feud. [Hardcore Invitational]: 15-Man Battle Royal for the vacant WWF Hardcore Title: Bad News Brown won a 15-man Battle Royal: x Bad News defeated Friar Ferguson after the Ghetto Blaster in 0:10:49 Rating: 1/4 (Bad News Brown won the WWF Hardcore Title.) [Kim Chee interfered against Earthquake.] [Afa and Kim Chee interfered against Victor.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Samu.] [Kim Chee interfered against Manuel.] [Mr. Fuji interfered against Bad News Brown.] This contest was a wild and crazy brawl which could only end when somebody scored a pinfall or submission anywhere in the building. The list of participants included Bad News Brown, Earthquake, The Headshrinkers, Friar Ferguson, The Nasty Boys, The Arabian Butchers, The Birdman, Kevin Kelly, Repo Man, Skinner, Damien DeMento and The Tazmaniac. Several weapons were used, such as steel chairs, cookie sheets, a keyboard, a broom and a fire extinguisher - even a kitchen sink came into play. Bad News ended up victorious when he repeatedly bashed Friar Ferguson over the head with a trash can, before placing it over the mad monk's head and striking him with the Ghetto Blaster! As a result, Bad News becomes the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion, the very first title he has held in the World Wrestling Federation. Strap Match: Barry Windham defeated Mr. Perfect in 0:10:19. Rating: * [Sensational Sherri interfered against Mr. Perfect.] The brutality levels in this Strap Match were off the charts as Barry Windham and Mr. Perfect used the heavy leather strap to whip and choke each other. The fight spilled out to ringside, where Perfect used the strap to drive Windham into the ringpost, busting him open. Perfect had things in control as he dragged The Widowmaker around the ring, touching each turnbuckle pad. However, Perfect did not realise that Windham was also touching each pad behind his back. Before Perfect could touch the last buckle, Windham tripped the official with the strap! Sensational Sherri then nailed Perfect with her loaded purse and Windham levelled Perfect with a nasty lariat, before he touched the last turnbuckle pad and won the bout. Triangle Match: The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) and The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid): x S. Austin beat Davey Boy via an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle in 0:12:46 x Pillman beat S. Steiner after the Brush with Greatness in 0:17:18 Rating: ** (The Hollywood Blonds won the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs were, perhaps surprisingly, the first team eliminated from this match when Brian Pillman hit Davey Boy Smith with a springboard dropkick to the back of the head and Steve Austin followed up with an elbowsmash for the pin. This guaranteed new Tag Team Champions being crowned in what was essentially now a regular tag team bout between The Steiner Brothers and The Hollywood Blonds. It was the Blonds that came out on top when Austin took out Scott Steiner's knee with a chop block as the Steiners were setting up the Steiner Bulldog. Austin then shoved Rick Steiner off the top rope to the floor, before the Blonds put Scott away with the Brush with Greatness. Gene Okerlund interviewed Lex Luger backstage. The Narcissist vowed to keep his undefeated streak at WrestleMania alive and capture the Intercontinental Title tonight. Jeff Jarrett pinned Rick Martel after a DDT in 0:09:27. Rating: * Rick Martel was unsuccessful in his quest to make Jeff Jarrett pay for exacerbating his serious quad injury. Martel missed a charge into the corner and tasted a Double J DDT. Jarrett made the cover, putting his feet on the ropes for good measure, for the three count. The jubilant Hollywood Blonds celebrated their Tag Team Title win backstage, claiming they were heading to Hollywood to party with other A-listers. Razor Ramon pinned Lex Luger with the Razor's Edge in 0:11:11. Rating: ** (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Lex Luger came into this Intercontinental Title back with a gameplan - go after Razor Ramon's back. Luger's assault was relentless, driving Ramon back-first into the ringpost and the ring apron and slamming him on the floor. The Narcissist was eventually able to hoist the Bad Guy into place for the torture rack, but Ramon slid out of the hold and then took Luger down in the Razor's Edge to retain his title. Randy Savage pinned Shawn Michaels with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:18:14. Rating: 1/4 [Liz interfered against Randy Savage.] There weren't many wrestling holds exchanged in this one as Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels fought each other all over Madison Square Garden. Liz cut off her ex-husband's momentum when she tripped Savage and the Heartbreak Kid put a hurting on the Macho Man. With the capacity crowd firmly behind him, Savage turned the tables on Michaels and was able to set him up for the flying elbow. However, Liz entered the ring and stood in front of her lover, preventing Savage from completing the move. Savage dropped down to the mat and argued with Liz, giving Michaels the opportunity to recover. Michaels lined up the superkick, but Savage sidestepped at the last second and the Heartbreak Kid decked Liz!! The roof almost came off the Garden as Savage pasted Michaels and ultimately finished him off with the flying elbow. Match with Special Referee Roddy Piper: Bret Hart pinned Big Van Vader after a Victory Roll in 0:23:58. Rating: * (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race interfered against Bret Hart.] Bret Hart and Big Van Vader did battle for almost twenty five minutes in Madison Square Garden in what will surely go down as the greatest WWF Championship match in the history of WrestleMania. It was a tremendous back and forth encounter from bell to bell, with great wrestling and superb brawling from either man. The Hitman saved his title by draping a foot over the bottom rope after the Vader Bomb, which raised the ire of Vader who argued with special referee Roddy Piper. An angry Vader shoved Piper, but Piper wasn't going to put up with any of Vader's crap and shoved him right back, straight into an inside cradle from Hart for a near fall! Vader used the Hitman's own Sharpshooter against him, but Hart was able to reverse the hold and the Mastodon made the ropes. Harley Race attempted to hand his man a steel chair, but Piper's decked Race before he had the chance! In the end, the Hitman utilised the same hold that defeated Bam Bam Bigelow on Monday Night RAW - the Victory roll - to keep Vader's shoulders down for three and the WWF Championship around his waist! The ring filled up with babyfaces, who joined Bret Hart in celebrating his triumph over Big Van Vader. They raised Hart up on their shoulders as the Garden was illuminated with fireworks. The Undertaker then appeared in the aisle and stared at the Hitman, before rolling his eyes into the back of his head, as WrestleMania X drew to a close! Card rating: ** Circuit information: WrestleMania X - a landmark event for the World Wrestling Federation - will certainly live long in the memory. It was an action packed show featuring some incredible in-ring action, capped off with a gripping main event which saw WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart defy the odds and defeat the 458 lb Rocky Mountain Monster, Big Van Vader. At the end of the show, it seemed as if The Undertaker was putting himself forward as the next challenger to the Hitman's title. 'Taker defeated Papa Shango tonight to end their war and now it appears that he is turning his attention to the WWF Championship. It is a title he has held before and would apparently like to again. A Bret Hart vs. Undertaker match is a mouth-watering prospect for WWF fans all round the globe! In other events on the show, Randy Savage picked up an emotional victory over Shawn Michaels. It was not a good night for Liz, who was knocked out by an errant Shawn Michaels superkick, much to the delight of the capacity crowd. Razor Ramon successfully defended his Intercontinental Title over Lex Luger, who had impressively won a battle royal earlier in the night to earn that opportunity. "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham survived a brutal Strap Match with Mr. Perfect, although it took interference from Sensational Sherri to ensure Windham emerged victorious. History was made in Madison Square Garden this evening as Bad News Brown outlasted fourteen other men to become the very first WWF Hardcore Champion in an out-of-control Hardcore Invitational. Also, The Hollywood Blonds captured the WWF Tag Team Titles for the very first time, coming out on top in the first ever Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team Match which also featured The Steiner Brothers and the British Bulldogs. In perhaps the only sour note of the show, Rick Steiner quit the company after the event. Where this leaves Scott Steiner right now is anyone' guess. Thanks for joining us this evening for WrestleMania X and being part of something extremely special! So long, everybody!

The show began with still shots from last night's momentous and historic WrestleMania X pay-per-view. In highlights from the event, The Hollywood Blonds captured the WWF Tag Team Titles in the first triple threat match in company history, Randy Savage defeated Shawn Michaels in a bitter, personal brawl and Bret Hart retained his WWF Championship in a long and hard-fought battle with Big Van Vader. Vince McMahon revealed that he would conduct an in-ring interview with Bret "Hitman" Hart later in the show. Vince put over strongly that Hart has held the WWF Title for 497 days now. Bad News Brown then made his way out to defend his newly-won WWF Hardcore Championship. Brown became the inaugural champion last night at WrestleMania when he outlasted fourteen other men in a wild and crazy Hardcore Invitational. No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Bad News Brown pinned Typhoon with the Ghetto Blaster in 0:07:04. Rating: 1/4* (Bad News Brown retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) Bad News Brown was able to score the win over Typhoon with two stiff chair shots to the back, followed by the Ghetto Blaster. After the match, Brown took the mike and called out Bret Hart. Brown said he already had one championship, but he was keen to add another and was setting his sights on the WWF Title! Outside the arena, Tammy Fytch was kicking up a fuss. Gene Okerlund caught up with her and asked her what the problem was. Fytch said that security was refusing to let her into the building. Fytch claimed she had tried to be nice to WWF President Jack Tunney, yet he continued to give her the brush off. The pretentious Fytch said she was done being nice. She claimed that the WWF did not have many women in prominent positions within the company and when she tried to get a job, Tunney wasn't interested. It was for these reasons that Fytch was now threatening to file a sexual discrimination suit!! The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Emilio Ulcia and Phil Apollo when Bart Gunn pinned E. Ulcia with the Revolver in 0:03:36. Rating: 1/4 Vince McMahon announced that on next week's show a 1-800 voteline will be set up to determine who will face Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title the following week; the options are Adam Bomb, Doink the Clown and Marty Jannetty. Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed Friar Ferguson. The mad monk announced that he would soon be travelling to Norway in order to visit the Berzerker and nurse him back to health! Jeff Jarrett defeated Crush by countout in 0:08:49. Rating: 1/2 [Adam Bomb interfered against Crush.] Crush dominated the country music superstar throughout much of this bout, tossing Jeff Jarrett around the squared circle with ease. However, Adam Bomb and Harvey Wippleman then came out to cause a distraction. At WrestleMania last night, Crush had eliminated Bomb from the battle royal to decide who would challenge for the Intercontinental Title later that night. The elimination did not sit well with Bomb, who then caused Crush to be tossed out and the two men brawled backstage. Crush forgot about Jarrett and began arguing with the Creation of Devastation and his manager, allowing Jarrett to strike with a knee to the back of Crush's head! The big Hawaiian fell through the ropes and struck the guardrail hard! Crush could not beat the referee's ten count and Double J scored a cheap victory. After the bout, Crush and Adam Bomb traded blows again. Officials tried in vain to separate them as the two behemoths fought to the backstage area. The Undertaker pinned Mantaur after a choke slam in 0:03:05. Rating: ** [Kim Chee interfered against The Undertaker.] The unorthodox Mantaur took the fight to The Undertaker right from the opening bell. However, after putting his feud with Papa Shango to bed last night at WrestleMania, The Undertaker is on a roll and he quickly took care of Mantaur. Mantaur missed the Stampede in the corner and 'Taker dropped him with a kick to the head, before drilling him with the match-winning choke slam. After the match, The Undertaker motioned that he wants the WWF Championship belt around his waist! Following the commercial break, Vince McMahon introduced the WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Hart was giving a standing ovation by the crowd on hand in the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. McMahon talked about Hart's bout with Big Van Vader last night. Hart put over Vader as the toughest challenge he'd ever faced during his reign as champion, but said he never doubted that he would defeat the Mastodon. McMahon said that as the Hitman's title reign approaches 500 days, the line of challengers determined to knock him off his perch grows ever longer. McMahon brought up The Undertaker's name as a potential challenger. Hart smiled and asked the fans if they'd like to see him and Taker go at it. The thunderous cheers that followed suggested that they would! The Hitman began praising the Undertaker and talking about how much respect he had for him, when he was rudely interrupted by Bad News Brown! Bad News brought up the past history between himself and Bret Hart and claimed that there is unfinished business. The Hardcore Champion told the Hitman to forget about other challengers and defend the title against him on next week's show! Brown dared the Hitman to prove to the fans that he's not a spineless cockroach and accept the challenge!! Despite Vince McMahon's attempts to persuade the Hitman to exercise caution, Hart took about half a second to agree to the match! The crowd was going wild as Bret Hart and Bad News Brown went nose-to-nose to close out the show! Circuit information: We returned from WrestleMania X with a bang here tonight on Monday Night RAW! WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart is not being given a second to reflect on last night's titanic duel with Big Van Vader as the line of challengers to his title continues to grow. The Undertaker has made it clear that he is coming for the championship, while Bad News Brown interrupted Hart's interview at the end of the show and confronted the champion, challenging him to a match next week. We can confirm that the bout has been signed for next week's show, as the Hitman displayed that characteristic fighting spirit. Can Bad News spring an upset and add the WWF Championship to the Hardcore Title he already owns? The grudge between Adam Bomb and Crush which started last night at WrestleMania continued this evening, as a distraction from Bomb caused Crush to lose his match with Jeff Jarrett. For the second night in a row, these two superstars fought all the way to the back. WWF fans are keen to see these two men square off in a one-on-one match very soon. Tammy Fytch has threatened an affirmative action lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation. In an effort to appease Fytch, Jack Tunney has hastily arranged a meeting with her. That encounter is scheduled to take place on next week's show. Join us this weekend for Superstars, where new WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds will be in action, plus, one of the contenders to face Razor Ramon - Doink the Clown - will face Tito Santana! Till then, so long everybody!!
JustinPossible	Posted on 01/30/10 at 00:53:40 great to see this one back.. it was always one of my fav reads.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/31/10 at 11:59:37 WWF Superstars March 26th, 1994 Stabler Arena, Bethlehem, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated Black Phantom and Joey Stallings when Pillman pinned Phantom after a small package in 0:03:30. Rating: ** 3/4 During the match, new WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds cut an insert promo, bragging about all the partying they had done in New York City after their title win at WrestleMania. The Blonds beamed that the Steiners were no more, gloating that the Steiners would rather break up than face the Blonds again. Big Boss Man pinned Mike Freeman with the Boss Man Slam in 0:03:23. Rating: 3/4* During the match, Harvey Wippleman cut an insert promo on the fans watching at home and threatened to send Adam Bomb after each and every one of him if they don't vote for the Creation of Devastation this coming week on Monday Night RAW! Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon. Ramon stated that whoever comes out on top in Monday's phone vote - whether it be Marty Jannetty, Adam Bomb or Doink the Clown - will give him a tough challenge. However, the Bad Guy stated that he is not ready to part with the Intercontinental strap any time soon. Lightning Kid pinned Eric Cody with the Lightning Bolt in 0:04:57. Rating: 3/4* During the match, Marty Jannetty cut an insert promo canvassing for votes ahead of the phone poll on Monday Night RAW to determine who will face Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Duane Gill with the Diving Headbutt in 0:02:58. Rating: * 1/2 Backstage, Randy Savage cut a promo. Savage declared that his emotional victory over Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania had breathed new life into his career. A confident Savage claimed that he was turning his attention to championship gold. Doink played a villainous prank on Tito Santana before their match even began, tripping Santana with tripwire as the former Intercontinental Champion jogged down to the ring! Santana took a hard fall and appeared to blow out his knee. Doink the Clown defeated Tito Santana when Tito Santana passed out in a half Boston in 0:11:18. Rating: *** 3/4 Doink's pre-match hi-jinx handed him a serious advantage over Tito Santana, who favoured his right knee throughout this contest. Santana had some brief flurries of offence, but after targeting Santana's injury for the duration of the bout, Doink finally made Santana submit with a half crab on the damaged knee. Doink laughed menacingly into the camera to close the show, as Vince McMahon pondered the possibility of the evil clown winning the phone vote on RAW and going on to become the new Intercontinental Champion! Circuit information: Be sure you tune in this week for Monday Night RAW and get dialling for who you think should face Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title!! Your choices are Marty Jannetty, Adam Bomb and Doink the Clown - make sure your favourite gets their shot at the gold! Also coming up this Monday night, Bret Hart - who this week passed 500 days as reigning WWF Championship - defends the title against the dangerous Bad News Brown. Can the Hitman defeat his old rival, or will Brown become a double champion? Find out this week on Monday Night RAW!!
ntnrerun	Posted on 02/01/10 at 05:52:15 Welcome back. This circuit is fantastic!
LillaThrilla	Posted on 02/02/10 at 16:55:51 I just became aware of this circuit yesterday. And WOW I've missed lot! Mad props to you, Peter: this is one of the best circuits I've ever read. Is it just me or do you have alot of injuries? I find it amusing seeing the parade of jobbers, especially the guys who went on to be more noteworthy later like Mike Bucci (Nova), Louie Spicolli, and Duane Gill. I was rather surprised early in the circuit when you pushed Tatanka hard and even put him over HBK repeatedly. But you did a pretty good job with him. Typhoon and Earthquake seem to do nothing more than randomly squash (literally) jobbers. I'm surprised you haven't put The Natural Disasters together... (together again? I'm not sure on the real world time frame). The Birdman gimmick for Koko B Ware was pretty cool. When Owen and Marty were teaming for awhile I was figuring we'd get some kind of New Rockers thing. They never have gotten a team name. Taz showing up was an interesting surprise. Nice introduction of Vader there. More thoughts coming as I continue to read through the cards... EDIT: Further thoughts and such... What is Lightning Kid's Lightning Bolt finisher? Wondering how long the returned British Bulldogs will last before Dynamite's back fails. Really liked the Shango-Undertaker angle. Savage-HBK was good too. Rather surprised to see a Hardcore Title introduced to 1994 WWF. Regarding the 5-star Vader-Bret Wrestlemania main event: did you book anything besides the finish?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/03/10 at 22:59:50 Monday Night RAW March 28th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with comments from WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart and Bad News Brown ahead of their title match in the main event of the show. Vince McMahon excitedly announced that the phone lines were now open for viewers to call in and vote for who they wanted to see challenge Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title on next week's show. The choices were Marty Jannetty, Doink the Clown and Adam Bomb. Promos were shown from each man in which they argued why they were deserving of a title shot. Scotty Flamingo pinned Virgil after a low blow in 0:05:03. Rating: 1/4 Chicanery from young upstart Scotty Flamingo allowed him to steal a win here against Virgil. Flamingo complained that he had been struck in the eye and as the official checked on the supposed injury, a frustrated Virgil went to see what was going on. However, as Virgil approached, Flamingo connected with a backward kick that landed between Virgil's legs and Flamingo quickly pinned him. Footage was shown from a Norwegian monastery, where Friar Ferguson was with the injured Berzerker. The Berzerker was wearing a neck brace. Ferguson is currently on a mission to help nurse The Berzerker back to health. The mad monk convinced the Berzerker to kneel, clasp his hands and close his eyes in preparation for prayer. As the Friar began to pray, snoring noises could be heard emanating from the Berzerker! It soon transpired that he had fallen asleep, much to the dismay of Friar Ferguson!! The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Barry Horowitz and Reno Riggins when Pierre pinned Riggins after a powerslam in 0:01:47. Rating: Back from the commercials and Jerry "The King" Lawler was in the ring, ready to present another edition of the King's Court. Lawler's guest tonight was Tammy Fytch, the feminist businesswoman and diehard advocate of the first lady, Hillary Clinton. Last week, Fytch threatened to file a sexual discrimination lawsuit against the WWF after she claimed that the company did not offer prominent positions to females. Fytch repeated her allegations and warned she would take WWF President Jack Tunney down. The fans grew tired of the spoiled Fytch and booed her out of the building. Jack Tunney came down to the ring and attempted to pacify Fytch. Tunney said he wanted to avoid legal action and tried to appease Fytch by offering her a manager's license. The pretentious Fytch seemed to be happy with this offer and accepted as the fans voiced their disapproval. Fytch left the ring and flounced to the back, looking very happy with herself. Lex Luger pinned Sid Garrison with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:01:22. Rating: DUD As Bad News Brown made his way out for the WWF Title match, Vince McMahon announced that Marty Jannetty had won the phone vote and will square off with Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW! The show returned from commercial with Bret Hart and Bad News Brown ready to lock up. The Undertaker was shown watching proceedings in a darkened part of the arena. Bad News Brown defeated Bret Hart by countout in 0:14:49. Rating: *** (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) Current reigning Hardcore Champion Bad News Brown really took the fight to Bret Hart in this one, determined to win the WWF Title and become a double champion. But The Hitman has proved throughout his lengthy title reign that he is extremely resilient and will not be beaten easily. The fight spilled to the floor and down the aisle, where the two men traded fierce punches and kicks. As the official's count went on, Hart decked Brown and made his way back to the ring. However, Bad News got back to his feet and struck the Hitman with the Ghetto Blaster just as Hart had made it back to ringside! Brown rolled back into the ring and beat the count, while the Hitman was counted out. Bad News Brown wins the match, but the gold remains with Bret Hart. This verdict did not sit well with Bad News Brown. He threw the referee out of the ring, before heading to ringside. While a groggy Bret Hart gingerly returned to his feet, Brown pulled a trash can out from under the ring and decked the Hitman with it! Bad News took the microphone and demanded another shot at the WWF Title, only this time it would be under his terms - in a Harlem Streetfight!! Circuit information: It wasn't the most technically sound WWF Championship Match in recent memory but it was certainly one of the most physical as Bret Hart and Bad News Brown knocked lumps out of each other for almost fifteen minutes. Bad News scored the count out victory when he laid out the Hitman with a vicious Ghetto Blaster outside the ring, but it wasn't enough to land him the championship. However, Brown did defeat the champion here tonight and is surely deserving of a rematch for the title. Next time, Bad News wants it to be contested in his domain - a Harlem Streetfight - where anything goes! More on this situation when news becomes available. The conniving and manipulative Tammy Fytch got her own way tonight, as WWF President Jack Tunney took her lawsuit threats very seriously and granted her a managerial license. Fytch's snivelling performance in the King's Court tonight did not win her many fans as she continues to get under the crowd's skin. The divinely decadent Fytch will certainly be one to watch in the WWF - just who will be her first managerial client? Next week, Razor Ramon will defend the Intercontinental Title against Marty Jannetty in what has the potential to be a true classic! But before that, tune into WWF Superstars this weekend, where The British Bulldogs will make their first appearance since losing the Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania. Plus, Ted DiBiase and Tatanka will also be in action. Till then, so long everybody!!

Interesting idea for reforming the Natural Disasters. I think the world needs to see a Disasters vs. Arabian Butchers showdown! The Lightning Bolt is a moonsault bodyblock. Brought in the Hardcore Title to give the lower card guys something to fight over. Kind of regret it now though! The finish was the only spot booked for the Hitman-Vader Mania main event.

Kind of regret it now though! Storyline-wise it did make sense ("if you guys are gonna break the rules so damn much we're just going to create a division with no rules") but perhaps an early debut of the European Title may have been better towards the end you sought? How do you decide what guys you can bring in? Are you working solely off when someone joined WWF in real life (or left WCW)?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/07/10 at 11:28:02 There's no rhyme or reason to who I bring in. I'm just hiring guys I'm a fan of, based loosely around the time period. I loved Bad News Brown for example - I think he was way before his time and had a real Stone Cold Steve Austin element to his character. I have a storyline in mind that would require bringing in someone from a more recent era, so we'll see how that goes. Yes, I do seem to get a lot of injuries. In the last card I ran I got a very serious one to a major star, which has forced me to re-book the rest of 1994! Booking headache!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/13/10 at 16:24:53 WWF Superstars April 2nd, 1994 Stabler Arena, Bethlehem, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with a promo from former WWF Tag Team Champions the British Bulldogs. The Bulldogs were upset at being first team eliminated from the Triple Threat match at WrestleMania in which they lost their titles and were determined to get back on track against the Beverly Brothers on tonight's show. Kevin Kelly pinned Repo Man with the Going Straight in 0:07:51. Rating: 1/2 Marty Jannetty cut a promo about facing Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship this week on Monday Night RAW. Jannetty talked about coming within an eyelash of taking the gold from his former tag team partner Shawn Michaels last year and was confident he could go one better against the Bad Guy. Ted DiBiase pinned Joey Stallings with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:03:09. Rating: [Sensational Sherri interfered against Joey Stallings.] Sean Mooney conducted an interview with Scott Steiner, in which Steiner announced he would be returning to action soon as a singles star. Steiner put over his accomplished amateur wrestling background and vowed that this experience would take him to the WWF Championship. The Tazmaniac defeated P.J. Walker via pinfall in 0:05:28. Rating: * During the match, Shawn Michaels cut an insert promo. Michaels showed off the bruise on the side of Liz's face (the result of an errant superkick from the Heartbreak Kid at WrestleMania) and blamed Randy Savage for it. Michaels warned that the situation between them is not over and promised to make a mess of Savage's face - and he'd be doing it for Liz. Tatanka pinned Brooklyn Brawler with the End of the Trail in 0:04:35. Rating: Sean Mooney interviewed the newest member of the managerial roster, Tammy Fytch. Fytch claimed that she had been doing some scouting and had her eye on several potential clients. The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) when Dynamite Kid pinned Beau after a flying headbutt in 0:10:56. Rating: * 3/4 [The Genius interfered against Dynamite Kid.] [The Genius interfered against Davey Boy Smith.] The main event of Superstars was a thrilling contest in which the British Bulldogs returned to winning ways over the Beverly Brothers. The finish came when Davey Boy Smith bashed Beau Beverly and the interfering Genius' heads together and then planted Beau with a running powerslam, setting him up for Dynamite Kid's diving headbutt. The British Bulldogs celebrated their win after the bout, but they were interrupted by the Genius who struck them both with weak scroll shots to the back. The Bulldogs cornered the cowering Genius, but were then jumped from behind by the Beverly Brothers! Beau and Blake dumped Davey Boy out of the ring, before blasting Dynamite with the Shaker Heights Spike onto the Genius' metal scroll! Blood streamed from Dynamite's nose as The Beverly Brothers, along with the Genius, revelled in the jeers of the crowd as the show went off air! Circuit information: Shocking scenes at the end of tonight's edition of Superstars as the Beverly Brothers carried out a sickening attack on The British Bulldogs, which resulted in a badly broken nose for Dynamite Kid. The Bulldogs are harbouring a serious amount of frustration and aggression after this assault and have demanded that the Beverlys - and the Genius as well - face them again in the near future. Make sure you don't miss this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where we'll bring you an Intercontinental Title Match as Razor Ramon puts his title on the line against Marty Jannetty! Can Jannetty dethrone the Bad Guy? Or can Ramon hang on to the gold? Plus, Mr. Perfect and The Birdman will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/16/10 at 21:27:03 Monday Night RAW April 4th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with comments from WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon and challenger Marty Jannetty, hyping up their title match in the tonight's main event. The Birdman pinned Dan Dubiel with the One Fell Swoop in 0:02:56. Rating: DUD Another video was shown from Friar Ferguson's visit to a monastery in Norway, where he has travelled to help heal the Berzerker's injured neck. Ferguson was attempting to cure the Berzerker through prayer, but the Berzerker was more interested in swigging the communion wine. A Big Van Vader video package, designed to put him over as an unstoppable monster, was shown. Vader returns to Monday Night RAW on next week's show. Mr. Perfect defeated John Crystal via pinfall in 0:02:35. Rating: * Mr. Perfect made short work of John Crystal here. After dropping Crystal with a beautiful standing dropkick, Perfect set his opponent up for the Perfect Plex. However, Perfect opted to let Crystal slump to the canvas and he pinned him with a foot on Crystal's chest. Gene Okerlund conducted an interview with Crush. The Hawaiian powerhouse addressed his recent problems with Adam Bomb and challenged the Creation of Devastation to a one-on-one match. A vignette aired promoting the debut of the wrestling garbageman, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Rick Martel made Mike Moraldo submit to the Boston Crab in 0:04:00. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Tammy Fytch approached Mr. Perfect in his dressing room. Fytch described how much she had enjoyed watching Perfect's performance tonight and suggested that she manage him. Fytch insinuated that Perfect's career had been in a slump recently and she promised to take him straight to the top. In no uncertain terms, Perfect rebuffed Fytch's advances and left. Fytch stormed off in a huff. Razor Ramon pinned Marty Jannetty with the Razor's Edge in 0:15:40. Rating: *** 1/2 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) This gripping contest really could have gone either way, but in the end it was Razor Ramon who squeaked out a win with the Razor's Edge. Marty Jannetty really pushed Ramon all the way and he came within an eyelash of capturing the Intercontinental Title on several occasions during this encounter, scoring near falls with a superkick, a diving cross body and a missile dropkick. The two men shook hands and hugged after the bout as Vince McMahon put over the display of sportsmanship. Marty Jannetty raised Ramon's hand and left the Bad Guy to enjoy his victory. As Marty Jannetty entered the backstage area, Gene Okerlund attempted to grab a word with him. Jannetty was clearly feeling dejected and expressed his disappointment at failing to land the title. A beaming Scotty Flamingo interrupted and made fun of Jannetty choking in yet another big match. Jannetty decked Flamingo with a hard punch to the face, leaving Flamingo splayed on the floor clutching his mouth! The show closed with the announcement that on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW, Bret "Hitman" Hart will defend the WWF Championship against Bad News Brown in a Harlem Streetfight! Bobby Heenan confidently predicted that next week Brown would be crowned the new champion, as the Hitman was stepping in to Bad News' domain and Hart had no idea what he was letting himself in for!! Circuit information: So it's official - the WWF Championship will be on the line next week live on Monday Night RAW in a Harlem Streetfight! Bad News Brown defeated Bret Hart last week via count out, but there are no count outs in a streetfight - the match can only win by pinfall or submission so we will have a decisive winner. Hart is determined to avenge last week's defeat, but he is going up against one of the greatest street fighters of all time in Bad News. You'd be crazy to miss this intriguing bout next week on Monday Night RAW!! Marty Jannetty was absolutely devastated with this evening's loss. Tonight just wasn't his night and he came up short in his quest to capture the Intercontinental Title from Razor Ramon. WWF matchmakers were very impressed with Jannetty's effort tonight and a rematch could be on the cards. The Bad Guy stated after the show that he would be happy to put his title up against Jannetty again anytime. Marty Jannetty did get some degree of satisfaction tonight, punching out Scotty Flamingo after the latter ridiculed him following his defeat. That was great! Tammy Fytch was left frustrated this evening as Mr. Perfect turned down her offer to manage him. Who will Fytch target next? Superstars this weekend will see the man that Crush wants - Adam Bomb - in action. Also competing will be Shawn Michaels, Barry Windham and Owen Hart. See you then everybody!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/21/10 at 00:33:34 WWF Superstars April 9th, 1994 Auditorium, Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with a video package documenting the finish of last week's edition of Superstars, where the Beverly Brothers dished out a vicious post-match beating to the British Bulldogs. A promo from the Bulldogs then aired. Dynamite Kid's nose - which was broken in last week's attack - was badly swollen and covered in dark bruises. He and Davey Boy Smith challenged Beau and Blake to a match on next week's show and vowed to go after the Genius when they are done dismantling the Beverlys. Barry Windham pinned Bob Backlund with the Superplex in 0:08:25. Rating: *** 1/2 A Jimmy Hart promo rolled, in which he attempted to recruit Scott Steiner. The Mouth of the South revealed that he had been impressed with Steiner during the Steiner Brothers' wars with Money Inc last year and offered to guide Steiner through the singles ranks in the WWF. WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart cut a promo on Bad News Brown. Hart was determined to avenge his count-out loss from two weeks ago in this Monday's Harlem Streetfight. Hart said that while he is known as the Excellence of Execution, he can brawl with the best of them. The Hitman vowed to batter Bad News into submission. Shawn Michaels pinned Eric Cody with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:06:53. Rating: * 3/4 Bad News Brown cut a promo on Bret Hart ahead of their Harlem Streetfight on Monday Night RAW. Brown threatened to beat up the Hitman - just like he had done two weeks ago - but this time he would take his title. The Hardcore Champion said he was going to hurt the Hitman and he was going to hit Bret Hart with anything that isn't tied down. Bad News warned Hart that he better have his insurance paid and his will made out! The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated The Executioners (Executioner #1 and Executioner #2) when Fatu pinned Executioner #2 with the Flying Bodypress in 0:02:37. Rating: 1/2 [Afa interfered against Executioner #2.] Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler previewed the Harlem Streetfight between Bret Hart and Bad News Brown on Monday Night RAW, where the Hitman's WWF Title will be on the line. RAW is live from New York on Monday and Lawler claimed that with the show in Bad News' hometown, the Hardcore Champion was destined to capture another title. Owen Hart pinned Chris Hamrick with the Rocket Launcher in 0:03:52. Rating: 1/4 The Beverly Brothers and the Genius made their way out to the interview podium where Gene Okerlund was waiting for them. Beau Beverly revealed that last week's attack on the British Bulldogs signalled a change in attitude for the team. Blake Beverly claimed that it was time that they were taken seriously in the WWF and welcomed a rematch with the Bulldogs. The Genius then butted in and said that if the Bulldogs wanted to get their hands on him so much, why not make it a handicap match? Beau and Blake looked at each other with some confusion as the Genius said that they'd see Dynamite and Davey Boy next week! Adam Bomb pinned Bert Centeno with the Atom Smasher in 0:05:09. Rating: * Adam Bomb took his time in decimating his opponent, much to the glee of his repulsive manager Harvey Wippleman. Bomb finally put poor Bert Centeno out of his misery with a power bomb. Harvey Wippleman was not satisfied to let the destruction end there. He instructed Adam Bomb to hit Bert Centeno with another Atom Smasher and Bomb complied with his boss' wishes. Bomb went for a third, but when the referee protested Bomb took him out with a clothesline! Two more officials hit the ring, but Bomb decked both of them! Crush then came out to a tumultuous ovation and Bomb and Wippleman quickly bailed out of the ring! Bomb and Crush have had their problems recently, but Wippleman has been procrastinating over signing his charge up to the bout. Crush checked on the condition of Centeno, when suddenly Big Bully Busick made his return to the World Wrestling Federation, entering through the crowd and attacking Crush from behind! Bomb returned to the ring and he and Busick did a number on the big Hawaiian! Busick locked Crush in the stump puller while Wippleman blew cigar smoke in Crush's face! Bomb then slapped the helpless Crush across the face as the show drew to a close!! Circuit information: Three years ago, Big Bully Busick was reviled by WWF fans up and down the country as he antagonised them week in and week out. Tonight, Harvey Wippleman brought Busick back to the company and Busick wasted no time in going after Crush, the man that Wippleman's other client Adam Bomb is currently embroiled in a feud with. As if Crush did not have enough problems with Bomb and Wippleman - he now has to keep an eye out for the bully as well. A handicap match has been signed for next week's show pitting the British Bulldogs against the trio of the Beverly Brothers and their manager, The Genius. The Beverlys, who are determined to be taken seriously in the WWF, seemed a bit miffed when The Genius interjected himself into this contest. The Genius is crafty and underhanded though and the Bulldogs will have to be wary of his presence next week. Scott Steiner has become a very hot commodity since he announced he was entering the singles ranks of the World Wrestling Federation. Our sources state that Jimmy Hart is not the only manager interested in the former tag team champion. We are just 48 hours away from the much-awaited WWF Championship Harlem Streetfight between Bret Hart and Bad News Brown. It will be no holds barred and in that environment, anything can happen! Will the title change hands for the first time in 18 months? Tune in live this Monday night to find out!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/27/10 at 20:02:55 Monday Night RAW April 11th, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with a video package hyping up tonight's Harlem Streetfight for the WWF Title between Bret "Hitman" Hart and Bad News Brown. Handicap-Match: Big Van Vader defeated Barry Hardy, Mike Khoury and P.J. Walker when Vader pinned B. Hardy with the Vader Bomb in 0:02:07. Rating: -1/2* [Harley Race interfered against Barry Hardy.] After Big Van Vader's destruction of three men, Harley Race took the mic and addressed what he claimed is a conspiracy by the powers that be in the WWF to stop Vader winning the WWF Championship. Race said that this just made Vader angrier and meaner. Race was putting everybody in the WWF on notice - Big Van Vader will destroy everyone in his path until he wins the title! Lex Luger was accompanied to the ring for his match by two stunning swimsuit models. The girls held up mirrors for The Narcissist to admire himself in before his bout. Lex Luger pinned Duane Gill with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:02:46. Rating: * 1/2 (Papa Shango no-showed.) As the official tended to the barely conscious Duane Gill, Lex Luger left arm-in-arm with the two beautiful women. We received another update from the Norwegian monastery where Friar Ferguson is on a mission to cure The Berzerker's neck injury. Ferguson convinced the Berzerker to relax while he placed his healing hands on Berzerker's injured neck. The mad monk claimed that divine energy would pass through his hands and absorb into Berzerker's neck, curing it. Ferguson laid his hands on the Berzerker's neck, but the Berzerker leapt up and yelled out in pain! The considerable ruckus resulted in several candles being knocked over, starting a small fire in the monastery! The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated John Paul and Miguel Rosado when Manuel pinned J. Paul after the Arabian Meat Cleaver in 0:02:15. Rating: 1/2 [Mr. Fuji interfered against John Paul.] Mr. Fuji's twin brawlers continued to punish their opponents after the bell, connecting with a moonsault on each man. One of the twins then tossed the official out of the ring, while the other crushed Miguel Rosado with a splash. Typhoon made his way down to the ring for the save, but he was quickly beaten down as Fuji cackled. Earthquake then arrived on the scene to even the odds and he and Typhoon clotheslined the Butchers out of the ring to a nice ovation! Former tag team partners Earthquake and Typhoon then shook hands. Another vignette aired to promote the debut of the wrestling garbageman, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Bad News Brown and WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart were both dressed in street clothes for their Harlem Streetfight. The only job that referee Earl Hebner has in this contest is to count the fall. As the Hitman handed over his WWF Championship belt to Hebner, Bad News snatched the title out of the official's hands and decked Hart with it! The street fight was on, Harlem style!! [Harlem Streetfight]: No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Bret Hart pinned Bad News Brown after a backslide in 0:09:12. Bret Hart tore his left ACL. He will be out for approximately 6 months. Rating: * (Bret Hart retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) This street fight was every bit as gruelling and physically demanding as we expected. Bad News Brown used a steel chair on Bret Hart, driving it into Hart's ribs and then choking him with it. Brown removed the belt from his jeans and whipped the Hitman with it, causing several welts to appear on the champion's back! Through the contest, The Undertaker was again shown looking on from a darkened region of the arena. Bad News set up a table in the corner and attempted to whip Hart into it, but the Hitman reversed and both Brown and referee Earl Hebner went crashing through the table! Brown recovered however and connected with the Ghetto Blaster, but there was no official to count the fall! While Bad News angrily demanded that another referee come down, Hart seized the opportunity to take him down in a backslide, just as Mike Chioda came running down to the ring! The Hitman scored the three count and retains the championship! The frustrated Bad News Brown completely lost it after the decision, beating up several referees! Bad News took the steel chair and measured the Hitman with it, who was favouring his left knee and was struggling to get back to his feet. Brown reared back with the chair and prepared to connect with Bret Hart's skull, when The Undertaker appeared and grabbed the chair out of Brown's hands!! The sight of the Deadman caused Brown to quickly bail out of the ring. Hart used the ring ropes to pull himself back to his feet and he stared at The Undertaker, who was still clutching the chair. It certainly appeared that The Undertaker was contemplating striking the WWF Champion with the chair as the show went off air!! Circuit information: Tonight's Harlem Streetfight was not for the weak of heart and in the end WWF Champion Bret Hart once again retained his title. Bad News Brown can certainly feel aggrieved as he appeared to have the bout won, but referee Earl Hebner had been taken out and nobody was there to count the fall after he hit the Ghetto Blaster. However, nobody can excuse his actions after the match, as he took his frustrations out on several WWF officials! If The Undertaker hadn't shown up when he did, Brown could have inflicted serious damage on the Hitman. But what happened between The Undertaker and Bret Hart when the show ended?? Our cameras kept rolling after the show went off-air and we'll bring you the footage on Superstars this weekend!! Bret Hart did not come out of the match unscathed though, suffering an injury to his left knee. Hart, who left the arena on crutches, is currently undergoing an examination to diagnose the severity of his injury and we hope to bring you the results as soon as possible. Papa Shango has been fired as result of his no-show this evening. Not sure where this leaves Madusa now. It's a big weekend coming up on WWF Superstars, featuring a huge eight man tag team match pitting The Smoking Gunns, Lighting Kid and Max Moon against The Quebecers and WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds. Also on the show, The British Bulldogs are determined to exact some revenge when they face The Beverly Brothers and The Genius in a handicap match! Till then, so long everybody!
LillaThrilla	Posted on 02/28/10 at 03:22:25 Yay for a Natural Disasters reunion! The Friar-Berserker promos are amusing. Bret blew out his knee and will be out for half a year? Bummer. I guess the answer of "who will finally take the belt off him" is going to be nobody and the title will have to vacated. :-

In the last card I ran I got a very serious one to a major star, which has forced me to re-book the rest of 1994! Booking headache! I was curious who it would be before reading the most recent card. That sucks. May I ask, how long did you plan on keeping Bret as Champion?

Hart would probably have dropped the title then. This would seem a good opportunity to get many members of the WWF involved in the title chase. Perhaps a tournament, maybe even someone involving the King of the Ring tournament. Maybe even pushing it back until SummerSlam for the finals. Anyway, good stuff as always.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/03/10 at 22:13:36 WWF Superstars April 16th, 1994 Auditorium, Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. This week's edition of WWF Superstars began with a video highlights package of the brutal Harlem Streetfight between Bret Hart and Bad News Brown, in which the Hitman retained his WWF Championship. Brown went on the rampage afterwards, attacking referees and threatening to hit Bret Hart with a steel chair. However, The Undertaker came to the Hitman's aid and disarmed Brown. Footage then rolled of what happened when RAW went off the air, in which the Deadman threw the chair down and pointed to the WWF Championship belt. The Undertaker made it crystal clear that he is coming for Hart's title! Vince McMahon opened the show with an injury update on Bret Hart, who damaged his left knee in that Streetfight with Bad News Brown. McMahon revealed that the Hitman had torn his ACL and could be out for from three to five months, although it is too soon to tell how long exactly Hart will be sidelined. McMahon added that Hart is awaiting the results of an MRI undergone yesterday before choosing a course of action. Vince said that an announcement regarding this situation from WWF President Jack Tunney is imminent. Footage was shown from two weeks ago on Superstars when The Beverly Brothers viciously attacked the British Bulldogs after dropping a match to the former tag team champions. The Bulldogs go for revenge next when they face the Beverlys and the Genius in a handicap match. Handicap-Match: The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) and The Genius when Davey Boy pinned Genius with the Running Powerslam in 0:11:06. Rating: ** 1/2 The Beverly Brothers appeared to have this match in the bag when they hit the Shaker Heights Spike on Davey Boy Smith, but The Genius tagged himself in! The Genius went for a moonsault, but Davey Boy rolled out of the way and he and Dynamite Kid proceeded to clean house on the Beverlys. Davey Boy then planted the Genius with a running powerslam for the very popular three count! After the match, The Genius attempted to make peace with The Beverly Brothers. Beau and Blake were fed up though and gave the Genius a pasting, tearing off his robe and taking him out with the Shaker Heights Spike! Big Bully Busick returned to WWF competition in the next bout. Before Busick entered the ring though, he and manager Harvey Wippleman bullied a young fan wearing a Crush T-shirt at ringside. Busick snatched the fan's popcorn and dumped it over the youngster's head to loud boos from the crowd in attendance! Big Bully Busick defeated Rich Myers when Rich Myers passed out in the Stump Puller in 0:03:24. Rating: -1/2* After the match, Harvey Wippleman took the mic and had comments for the hottest free agent in the WWF, Scott Steiner. Wippleman attempted to recruit Steiner into his stable, which includes Adam Bomb and Big Bully Busick. Wippleman claimed he was taking over the Federation and invited Steiner along for the ride. Damien DeMento pinned Mike Bell after a gutwrench suplex in 0:03:16. Rating: 3/4* Vince McMahon announced that Marty Jannetty will square off with Doink the Clown this coming week on Monday Night RAW, with the winner being named the number one contender to Razor Ramon's Intercontinental Title. This is Jannetty's chance to earn another shot at the championship he came so close to winning just under two weeks ago. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn), Max Moon and Lightning Kid defeated The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) and The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) when Kid pinned Pillman after a small package in 0:15:26. Rating: *** 1/2 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Bart Gunn.] The main event of Superstars was an action packed eight man tag team match that featured an unexpected finish. The team of WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds and The Quebecers had the bout in control until Brian Pillman missed a springboard clothesline on the Lightning Kid and he connected with Pierre instead! This miscue did not sit well with the Quebecers, who argued with the Blonds and then walked out on them! While Pillman and Steve Austin protested with the Quebecers from the ring, Lightning Kid and Max Moon capitalised on the distraction and they rolled up the Blonds simultaneously for a double pinfall! Kid and Moon pinned the Tag Team Champions!! The Smoking Gunns congratulated Lightning Kid and Max Moon after the match, while the enraged Hollywood Blonds took off after The Quebecers to confront them! Kid and Moon celebrated with the fans to close out the show. Circuit information: As a result of tonight's pinfall victory over WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds, Jack Tunney has granted Lightning Kid and Max Moon a title shot - and it will take place next week on Superstars!! It does not give the Blonds long to prepare for their challengers, who are still feeling aggrieved at the Quebecers leaving them in the lurch tonight. The relationship between The Beverly Brothers and The Genius came to a bitter and painful end tonight. After the trio lost a handicap match to the British Bulldogs, Beau and Blake gave the World's Smartest Man a severe kicking. The Beverly Brothers are determined to be taken seriously and decided that the next step was to drop the effeminate academic. We'll bring you more breaking news regarding WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart's injury and the status of the title on this coming week's edition of Monday Night RAW. Also, Marty Jannetty faces Doink the Clown with the winner facing Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title, plus Randy Savage will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/07/10 at 21:15:00 Monday Night RAW April 18th, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW began with highlights from last week's Harlem Streetfight between Bret Hart and Bad News Brown, in which the Hitman successfully retained his WWF Championship. Hart twisted his left knee during the bout, resulting in a torn knee ligament. Vince McMahon then announced that an MRI exam conducted last week confirmed a torn ACL. McMahon said that the Hitman is scheduled to have surgery once the inflammation in his knee subsides, which could be in a week or two. McMahon added that Bret Hart is expected to be out for between six to nine months while he rehabs from the surgery. The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) defeated Mantaur and The Tazmaniac when Earthquake pinned Mantaur with the Earthquake Vertical Splash in 0:06:30. Rating: 1/4 [Kim Chee interfered against Typhoon.] The Natural Disasters returned to the tag team ranks tonight with a win over Kim Chee's charges, Mantaur and The Tazmaniac. Earthquake scored the win for his team with a sitdown splash on Mantaur. After the match, The Tazmaniac was clearly upset with the efforts of Mantaur. Gene Okerlund interviewed Marty Jannetty backstage ahead of his number one contenders match with Doink later tonight. A focussed Jannetty promised no more clowning around - he would defeat Doink and go on to take the Intercontinental Title from Razor Ramon like he felt he should have done two weeks ago. Randy Savage pinned Skinner with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:10:52. Rating: * 1/2 Macho Man Randy Savage came out on top in a well-received encounter with the Alligator Man. Skinner did look impressive in defeat though. After the contest, Savage took the mic and wished Bret Hart a speedy recovery. Big Boss Man pinned Mike Walsh with the Boss Man Slam in 0:02:09. Rating: 1/4* An excited Friar Ferguson was still in a monastery in Norway, tending to the injured Berzerker. Ferguson and the Berzerker were seated with their eyes closed while the mad monk attempted some spiritual healing. Ferguson claimed that the Berzerker would soon be healed, as once Berzerker had harmonised his mind and soul then his injury would be gone. Suddenly, the Berzerker leapt up, ripped off his neck brace, sprinted across the room and decked a monk with a kick to the head!! Ferguson raised his hands in the air and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!!". Another vignette aired promoting the debut of the wrestling garbageman, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Number-One-Contenders-Match: Doink the Clown pinned Marty Jannetty after a single arm DDT in 0:09:44. Rating: *** 3/4 [Scotty Flamingo interfered against Marty Jannetty.] With a shot at the Intercontinental Title at stake, both superstars held nothing back. Doink viciously attacked Marty Jannetty's right arm, hoping to force a submission. Jannetty scored a couple of near falls with a superkick and flying dropkick, before executing a flying fistdrop. Jannetty went for the pin, but Scotty Flamingo ran out and pulled the referee out of the ring before he could count the fall! Jannetty slid out of the ring and decked Flamingo with a hard right, but when he returned to the squared circle Doink drilled him with a divorce court on his injury arm for the pin! Scotty Flamingo looked up from the floor and cackled at Marty Jannetty, delighted that he had cost Jannetty the match. Jannetty chased Flamingo to the back, while Doink laughed sadistically into the camera. Just before the show ended, Vince McMahon announced that WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart would be on the show next week!! Bobby Heenan claimed that he would be showing up to hand over the WWF Title to the man that deserves it...Bad News Brown?! Circuit information: With Bret Hart scheduled to appear on Monday Night RAW next week, rumours abound regarding the WWF Championship. Whispers in the corridors of Titan Tower suggest that the Hitman will drop the belt on next week's show, but we cannot confirm this. The only way to find out is to tune in next Monday night!! Scotty Flamingo cost Marty Jannetty another shot at the Intercontinental Championship, interfering in Jannetty's match with Doink. Jannetty had punched out Flamingo two weeks ago after the obnoxious youngster had made fun of Jannetty following his loss to Razor Ramon. Flamingo decided to get back at Jannetty tonight as this feud develops. Friar Ferguson's mission of mercy was a roaring success! The Berzerker has made a full recovery from his serious neck injury and will return to action very soon. Don't miss this weekend's edition of WWF Superstars where we'll bring you a WWF Tag Team Title Match, as The Hollywood Blonds defend against the young and hungry duo of the Lightning Kid and Max Moon! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/09/10 at 22:04:36 WWF Superstars April 23rd, 1994 Auditorium, Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with highlights from last week's eight man tag team main event, where a miscue lead to The Quebecers walking out on their partners, The Hollywood Blonds. Lightning Kid and Max Moon ended up scoring simultaneous pinfalls on the abandoned Tag Team Champions, which resulted in tonight's championship match. The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated Moon Lightning (Max Moon and Lightning Kid) when Pillman pinned Kid after the Brush with Greatness in 0:13:55. Rating: * 1/4 (The Hollywood Blonds retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) This WWF Tag Team Title match was very fast paced with the teams exchanging quick moves and quick tags. The Hollywood Blonds' greater experience was telling in the end though as they managed to isolate Lightning Kid and pin him after the Brush with Greatness. Backstage, the Hollywood Blonds celebrations were curtailed as they ran into The Quebecers. The Blonds confronted Jacques and Pierre about leaving them high and dry last week. Jacques responded that if the Blonds hadn't have messed up, they wouldn't have walked. The argument grew more and more heated and before long the two teams were trading blows! Officials and road agents were quick to arrive on the scene and break up the brawl. Rick Martel defeated Bert Centeno when Bert Centeno passed out in a sleeperhold in 0:04:44. Rating: As the official raised Rick Martel's arm in victory, Lex Luger strolled down the aisle with a mic. Luger arrogantly mocked Martel's "Model" nickname, claiming that at Martel's age, he should be modelling bifocals and slippers! The Narcissist boasted that he was the only superstar good-looking enough to be a model and proclaimed himself to be the face of the World Wrestling Federation!! Martel had heard enough and angrily left the ring to confront Luger, but officials and road agents got in between the two men before things could get physical. Ted DiBiase pinned Barry Horowitz with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:04:00. Rating: Vince McMahon announced that WWF President Jack Tunney will be appearing this week on Monday Night RAW. Don't forget that the injured WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart is also scheduled to appear on the show. Due to the severity of Hart's injury, will Tunney strip the Hitman of the title?? Tatanka pinned Who with the End of the Trail in 0:02:48. Rating: Sean Mooney interviewed the British Bulldogs. After successfully dealing with the Beverly Brothers on last week's show, the former Tag Team Champions are now setting their sights on regaining the titles they lost at WrestleMania. The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Jim Massenger and Jeff Gaylord when Manuel pinned J. Massenger with the Moonsault in 0:03:57. Rating: ** 3/4 [Mr. Fuji interfered against Jeff Gaylord.] During the bout, the newly reunited Natural Disasters cut an insert promo. Earthquake and Typhoon warned the Arabian Butchers that it is inevitable that their paths will cross very soon. After the match, Mr. Fuji took the mic and attempted to recruit Scott Steiner into his stable. Vince McMahon wrapped up the show by announcing Crush vs Big Bully Busick on next week's show. McMahon also hyped up Jack Tunney and Bret Hart's appearances on Monday Night RAW and pondered the possibility of Jack Tunney stripping The Hitman of the championship he has held for the past eighteen months. Circuit information: The young team of Moon Lightning - Max Moon and Lightning Kid - impressed a lot of mat observers with their performance tonight as they pushed WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds right to the limit. Although they came up short, Moon Lightning will surely challenge for the gold again some time in the future. In the meantime, there is no shortage of challengers lining up to try and take the gold away from the Blonds. The Quebecers already have an issue with Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, while the British Bulldogs are keen to win the belts back. Don't miss this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, which is sure to be a very newsworthy show. Both WWF Champion Bret Hart and WWF President Jack Tunney will be there and hopefully we will get some clarification regarding the title situation. Also, Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/13/10 at 23:39:08 Monday Night RAW April 25th, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with Gene Okerlund standing in the ring alongside WWF President Jack Tunney. Okerlund introduced WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart to the crowd, who hobbled down to the ring on crutches. The Hitman was given a tremendous ovation as he entered the ring. Hart took the microphone and talked about how he had completely torn his ACL during the Harlem Streetfight with Bad News Brown. He confirmed that he is scheduled to enter surgery for the injury next week and is expected to make a full recovery. The Hitman said he expects to be out for about six to nine months while he rehabs from the surgery and expressed extreme disappointment at not being able to compete during this time. Hart said that this all meant that he would not be able to defend the WWF Title and as of tonight he was vacating the championship. The crowd voiced their disapproval as Bret Hart unstrapped the title belt from around his waist and handed it over to Jack Tunney. Hart thanked the fans for all the support they had given him since he suffered the knee injury and vowed to come back fitter, stronger and better than ever. The Hitman warned that whoever claims the championship will have the fight of their life to hold on to the title when Hart returns to WWF competition! A dejected Bret Hart shook hands with Jack Tunney and Gene Okerlund, before exiting the ring. Hart acknowledged the fans around ringside as Tunney announced that the WWF World Heavyweight Championship was now officially vacant. Tunney added that he would return with a major announcement at the end of the show. Another vignette aired hyping up the debut of the wrestling garbageman, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Razor Ramon pinned Tony DeVito with the Razor's Edge in 0:05:45. Rating: * As WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon took care of business inside the squared circle, Doink the Clown wandered out to the ringside area, amusing himself by playing tricks on the fans. The Bad Guy was clearly distracted by this appearance from the new number one contender to his Intercontinental Title. Towards the end of the match, Doink took a shine to Ramon's IC Title belt. While Ramon drilled Tony DeVito with the Razor's Edge, Doink swiped the title belt and sneaked off to the back! Ramon demanded his championship from the timekeeper after the match and when the Bad Guy discovered what had happened, he sprinted off in pursuit of the evil clown!! Scotty Flamingo pinned Todd Mata with the Piledriver in 0:05:48. Rating: * 1/4 Scotty Flamingo did not have a second to enjoy his victory as Marty Jannetty sprinted out from the back after him! Jannetty chased Flamingo through the crowd and out of the arena. Backstage, Razor Ramon's search for Doink the Clown and his Intercontinental Championship belt continued. Ramon ran in to Tammy Fytch, who offered to manage the Bad Guy. Fytch claimed that under her management, she could turn Ramon from the Intercontinental Champion into the WWF Champion. Ramon angrily stated that he was busy and blew Fytch off. Fytch threw a hissy fit at her managerial services being rejected once again. Vince McMahon announced that after being healed back to full health by Friar Ferguson, The Berzerker will return to action in two weeks. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Terra Ryzing with the Diving Headbutt in 0:05:15. Rating: * 1/4 The camera cut to a corridor somewhere in the backstage area, where Razor Ramon had finally caught up with Doink. Doink dared Ramon to come and get his title back, but the Bad Guy stopped short when he saw that the evil clown was dangling the strap over an open pot of green paint! Ramon edged closer to Doink, warning him not to let go of the title! Doink chortled at the peril Ramon was in and pretended to let go several times. The Bad Guy made a grab for the strap, but Doink dropped the belt into the paint before Ramon could seize hold of it!! Doink cackled and exclaimed, "Oops...butter fingers!!". Ramon flew into a rage, but as he went for the clown, Doink bashed him over the head with another paint can! Doink lifted the Intercontinental Title belt, now splattered in bright green paint, and laughed diabolically. WWF President Jack Tunney made his way out to the ring holding the WWF Championship belt. Tunney took the mic and announced that at the King of the Ring pay-per-view, there will be a sixteen man tournament with the winner being crowned not only the new King of the Ring, but also the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion!! Tunney said he would reveal the identity of the sixteen WWF superstars competing in the tournament over the coming weeks. Tunney was then interrupted by a pissed off Bad News Brown. Brown confronted the WWF President, claiming to have spent the past week sending letters, making calls and leaving messages at Tunney's private country club, but had received no response. Brown demanded to know why, since he was the one that put Bret Hart on the shelf, he wasn't being handed the WWF Championship. Tunney began to splutter out a response, but Brown accused him of protecting the Hitman. Tunney denied he was protecting anybody. Brown grabbed Tunney by his jacket lapels and yelled that he didn't care what Tunney was president of! Bad News ordered that Tunney hand the title over to him and threatened to beat the ugliness off him if he didn't! Security then entered the ring. Brown smirked, shoved Tunney to the mat and left the ring before security started getting heavy-handed. Leaving Tunney shaken in the squared circle, Brown headed to the back, yelling into the camera that he is the real champion and he wants his belt! Circuit information: It was one year, six months and thirteen days ago when Bret Hart defeated Ric Flair for the WWF Championship in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Tonight, the Hitman's 560 day reign came to an end as Hart was forced to vacate the title through injury. Bret Hart has certainly been a fighting champion, defending the strap countless times against such luminaries as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Yokozuna and Big Van Vader. Hart has vowed to return better than ever and we hope to see him return to the ring as soon as possible. Bret Hart's momentous WWF Title reign puts him into seventh place in the all-time list of WWF Championship reigns by length. Bad News Brown confronted WWF President Jack Tunney at the end of the show and demanded that Tunney hand the WWF Title over to him. Bad News is taking credit for putting the Hitman on the shelf and believes he should be rewarded with the gold. Tunney disagreed though, which resulted in Brown crossing the line and manhandling Tunney. There will be repercussions for Bad News, you can be sure of that. The new WWF Champion will be determined by a sixteen man single elimination tournament to take place at the King of the Ring in Baltimore, Maryland on June 19th. Interest has reached fever pitch in the locker room as the WWF superstars eagerly await the tournament brackets. If there is one thing Razor Ramon loves, it's gold. As he warns the ring attendant when he hands over his large gold necklaces, "Something happens to this, something gonna happen to you." Doink obviously did not heed this warning, as he dropped Ramon's Intercontinental Championship belt into a can of green paint on tonight's show! The Bad Guy did not appreciate the paint job on his championship belt and cannot wait to terpentine Doink next week when the two men meet for the Intercontinental Title. Don't miss WWF Superstars this week, where Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett will be in action, plus Crush squares off with Big Bully Busick in the main event! Till then, so long everybody!
LillaThrilla	Posted on 03/15/10 at 03:32:44 Good way to handle the injury and the title. Doink's hijinks were funny. LOL jobbing ol' Triple H under his old WCW gimmick of Tera Ryzin.
rey619	Posted on 03/15/10 at 14:20:50 Yeah, the injury situation was handled extremely well here. Especially with Bad News Brown demanding the belt and all. Looking forward to KOTR :)
Matteus	Posted on 03/15/10 at 18:55:15 I love Bad News Brown. You've done a tremendous job making him the Stone Cold Steve Austin of the mid-90s. I'm not-so-secretly hoping that he takes the belt at KotR. That was going to be the only comment I made, but I love what Doink did to Razor and your commentary on it (regarding how he loves gold). Little things like this make this the best circuit going.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/15/10 at 20:19:48 WWF Superstars April 30th, 1994 War Memorial Auditorium, Rochester, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with footage of Big Bully Busick's surprise return to the World Wrestling Federation three weeks ago, in which he assisted Adam Bomb in an attack on Crush. Crush meets Busick one-on-one in the main event of the show. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) defeated Mike Khoury and P.J. Walker when Sags pinned M. Khoury after a bodyslam in 0:01:59. Rating: -1/4* WWF President Jack Tunney addressed the WWF World Tag Team Title situation, claiming that every team at the company feels they should be named the top contenders to the Hollywood Blonds' belts. In order to sort out the confusion, Tunney announced that the four teams that he viewed had the most reason to challenge for the gold - The British Bulldogs, The Smoking Gunns, The Arabian Butchers and The Quebecers - would compete in a tournament over the coming weeks to determine who will face Steve Austin and Brian Pillman for the straps at the King of the Ring. Jeff Jarrett pinned Gus Kentaroccus with the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:04:19. Rating: * After the match, Tennessee Lee took the mic and made a play for Scott Steiner. Lee said that he, Jeff Jarrett and Steiner could all be "great" together. Owen Hart pinned Louie Spicolli with the Rocket Launcher in 0:05:23. Rating: *** Promos aired from Razor Ramon and Doink the Clown, hyping up their Intercontinental Title Match this week on Monday Night RAW. Ramon vowed to make the evil clown pay for defacing his championship belt. The Birdman pinned Rich Myers with the One Fell Swoop in 0:3:55. Rating: DUD A touching video tribute was shown for former WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart. Vince McMahon revealed that the Hitman has been flooded with messages of support from fans all around the world ahead of his knee surgery. Jerry Lawler was not so sympathetic. Crush defeated Big Bully Busick by disqualification in 0:06:08. Rating: 3/4* [Harvey Wippleman and Adam Bomb interfered against Crush.] Crush signalled for the Cranium Crunch, but before he could complete the move Harvey Wippleman grabbed a hold of his ankle! Crush dragged Wippleman into the ring and went for the head squeeze on Harvey, but Adam Bomb hit the ring and attacked Crush from behind!! The referee called for the disqualification as Bomb and Busick went to work on the big Hawaiian! Busick held Crush's arms behind his back as Bomb punched him repeatedly in the stomach. The Creation of Devastation then set up Crush for the Atom Smasher, but Tatanka sprinted down for the save! Tatanka cleared the ring of Bomb and Busick, much to the joy of the crowd! Circuit information: The issue between Crush and Adam Bomb continues to rumble on and it now appears that Crush's friend Tatanka has been dragged into the dispute. Tatanka came to his friend's aid when Bomb and Big Bully Busick carried out a two-on-one attack on the big Hawaiian. The Arabian Butchers will face the British Bulldogs on next week's show in the first match of the four team tournament to determine the next challengers to the Hollywood Blonds' Tag Team Titles. Jack Tunney is set to appear this week on Monday Night RAW and is expected to confront Bad News Brown after their altercation last week. Also on the show, Razor Ramon defends the Intercontinental Title against Doink the Clown. All in all it is expected to be a must-see show, so make sure you tune in! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/19/10 at 12:23:27 Monday Night RAW May 2nd, 1994 Green Mountain State, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with a highlights package promoting tonight's WWF Intercontinental Title Match between Razor Ramon and Doink the Clown. After Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan opened the show, the scene cut to WWF President Jack Tunney standing in the centre of the ring. Tunney looked like he meant business and wasted no time in calling out Bad News Brown. Brown stormed down to the ring and got in Tunney's face. Tunney refused to back down and announced that as a result of Bad News Brown's actions on the previous week's show, he was fining Brown $7500 and suspending him for 60 days!! Brown almost threw a fit and his mood did not improve as Tunney confirmed that this would rule Bad News out of the King of the Ring and an opportunity to become the new WWF Champion! Brown snapped, grabbing Tunney by the throat and rearing back his fist. Before he could connect, Tunney interrupted to inform him that he wasn't finished! Tunney said that Bad News would have to defend his WWF Hardcore Title right now!! Brown released Tunney, dropping him to the mat, and turned to face the entrance way as Duke "The Dumpster" Droese made his way out for his WWF debut! No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Duke Droese pinned Bad News Brown with the Trash Compactor in 0:04:22. Rating: 3/4* (Duke Droese won the WWF Hardcore Title.) What a debut for Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, who captures a title on his very first night with the company! Droese managed to duck Bad News Brown's Ghetto Blaster attempt and he hit Brown with the Trash Compactor - a tilt-a-whirl powerslam - onto a STOP sign for the three count! Congratulations go out to the wrestling garbageman!! Handicap-Match: Big Van Vader defeated Steve King and Paul Vandale when Vader pinned P. Vandale with the Vader Bomb in 0:03:40. Rating: 1/2* [Harley Race interfered against Paul Vandale.] After the match, Big Van Vader dragged the lifeless body of Paul Vandale into the centre of the ring and power bombed Steve King onto it! Vader tossed his two opponents out of the ring while Harley Race took the mic. Race put the entire World Wrestling Federation on notice that Big Van Vader means business and will walk out of the King of the Ring as the new WWF Champion! A furious Bad News Brown was tearing apart the backstage area looking for Jack Tunney. Brown grabbed a frightened stagehand and demanded to know where Tunney is, but a group of police officers arrived on the scene and escorted Brown out of the building! Bad News Brown is gone from the World Wrestling Federation for sixty days!! Shawn Michaels pinned Tim McNeany with the Teardrop Suplex in 0:05:01. Rating: * 1/2 [Liz interfered against Tim McNeany.] After the match, Liz walked over Tim McNeany to join her man Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid took the mic and boasted that after the King of the Ring, he'd have the hottest babe in the WWF on his arm and the WWF Championship around his waist. Vince McMahon updated WWF fans on the condition of Bret "Hitman" Hart. McMahon said that Hart's surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee went "exceptionally well". He added that following the procedure, doctors had described the surgery as a success. Doink the Clown made his way out with the stolen Intercontinental Title belt around his waist. The belt was daubed in bright green paint after Doink's prank last week. Suddenly, an irate Razor Ramon burst out from the back and attacked Doink in the aisle!! Ramon ripped the title belt from around Doink's waist and threw it to the ground, before sending the evil clown into the ring steps hard! The Bad Guy whipped Doink into the guardrail and then sent him flying over the timekeeper's table! Ramon then posted Doink and rolled him into the ring so the match could begin officially. Razor Ramon pinned Doink the Clown with the Razor's Edge in 0:02:07. Rating: ** (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Razor Ramon continued his assault between the ropes, barely giving Doink a chance to breathe. Doink tried to come back with a high cross body, but Ramon caught him and executed a fallaway slam. The Bad Guy then connected with the Razor's Edge for the win in just over two minutes. Doink never even got his jacket off. Razor Ramon threw Doink over the top rope, before being handed his Intercontinental Title belt. Ramon looked at the vandalised strap with disgust and left the ring. Circuit information: It was a very bad night for Bad News Brown, who was fined and suspended by WWF President Jack Tunney, but not before he lost the Hardcore Title to the debuting Duke "The Dumpster" Droese! Brown, who will miss the King of the Ring pay-per-view and can therefore forget about any chance of capturing the vacant WWF Title, now has 60 days to stew over the events of this evening. When Bad News returns from his suspension, you can rest assured he will be in even more of a foul mood that usual! Doink the Clown, who was destroyed by Razor Ramon in the main event of the show, gave notice last week and this was his last night with the company. Virgil has also quit effective immediately. We wish the both the best in their future endeavours. We hope you'll join us this weekend for WWF Superstars, where Lex Luger, Mr Perfect and Tatanka will all be in action! Plus, the British Bulldogs will battle the Arabian Butchers in the first match of the four team number one contenders tournament! Till then, so long everybody!
Grappler	Posted on 03/19/10 at 16:01:59 See what happens when you give notice right before you get a title shot....you get jobbed in two minutes. ;D
LillaThrilla	Posted on 03/19/10 at 22:38:31 A 60 day suspension for Brown? Did not see that coming. When he gets back he's gonna be even more pissed than he already is. I wonder if Brown will end up being a harbinger of earlier arrival of the Attitude era? Especially if for some reason he fueds with the Hollywood Blonds and shaves Austin's head... Putting the Hardcore Title on Duke Droese was a great idea. What's a garbageman/wrestler best at? Garbage wrestling!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/26/10 at 22:54:52 WWF Superstars May 7th, 1994 War Memorial Auditorium, Rochester, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when Dynamite Kid pinned Victor after a crucifix in 0:14:32. Rating: * In the four team tournament to determine the new number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles, The British Bulldogs advanced to the finals with an impressive victory over Mr. Fuji's Arabian Butchers. However, that was not the whole story to this encounter. The referee was bumped, giving Mr. Fuji the opportunity to toss his cane to one of the twins to use. The Natural Disasters then made their way out to foil Fuji's plan. Earthquake caused a distraction, allowing Typhoon to swipe the cane out of the Butcher's hands! Earthquake and Typhoon hung about at ringside for the rest of the match to make sure no other shenanigans went down. The finish came when Davey Boy Smith dropkicked one of the twins out of the ring, while Dynamite Kid tied up the other in a crucifix for the three count. After the match, The Natural Disasters and The Arabian Butchers had a confrontation. Officials and road agents arrived on the scene quickly to diffuse the situation. Tatanka pinned Corey Student with the End of the Trail in 0:01:09. Rating: Standing in front of Adam Bomb and Big Bully Busick, Harvey Wippleman cut a promo on Tatanka, warning him to stay out of their business with Crush. Lex Luger pinned Scott Taylor with the Running Forearm Smash in 0:04:53. Rating: "The Model" Rick Martel, looking dapper in a suit and shades, made his way down to ringside during the course of this bout. Martel began chatting up Lex Luger's ring girls, much to the chagrin of the Narcissist! The girls were evidently in to The Model and left arm in arm with Martel!! Embarrassed, Luger viciously finished off the jobber with a running forearm and left the ring in a fury! Mr. Perfect pinned Phil Apollo with the Perfect Plex in 0:05:35. Rating: Gene Okerlund reported that this coming week on Monday Night RAW, the first matches in the WWF World Title Tournament at the King of the Ring will be announced. Big Boss Man pinned Repo Man with the Boss Man Slam in 0:08:28. Rating: ** 1/4 Repo Man did not take this defeat well and he attacked the Big Boss Man afterwards. Repo drilled Boss Man with the hook on his toe rope and choked him with the rope. Kevin Kelly then hit the ring and ran off Repo Man. Kelly helped Boss Man back to his feet, but Boss Man shoved him off, clearly untrusting of the former prisoner. Circuit information: The Arabian Butchers and Mr Fuji were furious with the Natural Disasters after the show. Earthquake and Typhoon interjected themselves in the Butchers' match with the British Bulldogs to prevent Fuji's henchmen from cheating, but Fuji doesn't see it that way and blames the Disasters for costing his men the bout. Fuji has demanded that a match be signed between the Butchers and the Disasters as soon as possible. Kevin Kelly - the ex-convict formerly known as Nailz - claims to be changed man after his time in prison. Judging by tonight's events, the Big Boss Man still does not trust Kelly and wants nothing at all to do with him. The WWF embarked on a four-night tour of Japan today (this show, as well as next week's edition of Monday Night RAW and Superstars, were taped earlier in the week). Look out for the results appearing here over the next few days. Coming up this week on Monday Night RAW, Marty Jannetty goes for revenge when he meets Scotty Flamingo in a singles bout. Also, the Berzerker returns to action, plus Gene Okerlund presents the first King of the Ring report in which he'll reveal the first matches in the WWF Title Tournament! Till then, so long everybody!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/05/10 at 11:10:04 Monday Night RAW May 9th, 1994 Green Mountain State, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a video package documenting the rivalry between Marty Jannetty and Scotty Flamingo. These two men will square off in the main event of tonight's show. The returning Berzerker received a tremendous ovation as he and Friar Ferguson, the man that healed his neck injury, prepared to lock up with Kim Chee's team of Mantaur and the Tazmaniac. Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated The Tazmaniac and Mantaur when Ferguson pinned Mantaur after a splash from the second rope in 0:04:58. Rating: * 1/4 [Kim Chee interfered against The Berzerker.] [Kim Chee interfered against Friar Ferguson.] The Tazmaniac appeared to have things in control for his team during this tag team bout, but as soon as he tagged out to Mantaur each time, the match swung back in the favour of Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker. After this series of events had occurred for a third time, The Tazmanic grew fed up with his partner's ineptitude and walked off to the back, leaving Mantaur to face their opponents two-on-one! Ferguson and Berzerker soon laid waste to Mantaur, with Berzerker dropping Mantaur with a kick to the head and the mad monk following up with a big splash for the three count. Bob Backlund defeated Mike Bell when Mike Bell passed out in the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:04:22. Rating: * 1/4 Footage was shown from last week's show of newcomer Duke "The Dumpster" Droese shocking Bad News Brown and capturing the WWF Hardcore Title in his very first match. The new WWF Hardcore Champion then cut a promo, vowing to defend his title against all-comers. The Dumpster said that there is a lot of cleaning up to do in the World Wrestling Federation and he's ready to get to work. Barry Windham pinned Jim Massenger with the Superplex in 0:03:36. Rating: * 3/4 Gene Okerlund presented the King of the Ring report, in which the first matches in the WWF Championship tournament were announced. These bouts will see Tatanka renew his rivalry with Bam Bam Bigelow and former tag team champions clash once again as Shawn Michaels faces Marty Jannetty! Tatanka then cut a promo, proclaiming himself to be the greatest warrior in the tournament and said that when the dust settles on the battlefield at King of the Ring, the Native American will be standing tall as the new WWF Champion! Marty Jannetty pinned Scotty Flamingo with the Rocker Dropper in 0:10:12. Rating: *** 1/2 Scotty Flamingo used trademark underhanded tactics to try and steal this bout, grabbing the tights and the ring ropes for extra leverage during pin attempts, but the referee caught Flamingo in the act on each occasion. We witnessed a much more determined Marty Jannetty tonight, who backdropped his way out of Flamingo's piledriver attempt and hit the Rocker Dropper to capture a big win ahead of the King of the Ring. After the match, Marty Jannetty sent Scotty Flamingo flying over the top rope with a dropkick. Liz then sashayed out from the back and got in the ring. She began putting the moves on Jannetty, playing with his hair and putting her hand on his chest. Jannetty wasn't buying it though and pushed Liz away, only to turn around into a superkick from Shawn Michaels, who had come from under the ring!! Michaels peppered the grounded Jannetty with a barrage of punches, before warning his former tag team partner that nothing or nobody was stopping him from becoming the new WWF Champion at the King of the Ring! The Heartbreak Kid and Liz then posed over Jannetty's body to close the show! Circuit information: We are six weeks away from the eagerly anticipated King of the Ring pay-per-view and tonight two of the first round matches were announced for the sixteen man single elimination tournament to crown a new WWF Champion. These matches will reignite two of the fiercest rivalries from last year, as Tatanka battles Bam Bam Bigelow and Shawn Michaels clashes with Marty Jannetty. The psychological warfare has already started ahead of the King of the Ring, as tonight Michaels jumped Jannetty after Liz caused a distraction and laid him out with a superkick. The Tazmaniac walked out on his partner Mantaur tonight after becoming frustrated with Mantaur's performance. Where does this leave Kim Chee's men now? Coming up this weekend on Superstars, the man set to face Tatanka at the King of the Ring - Bam Bam Bigelow - will go one-on-one with Owen Hart, while the tag team tournament continues as the Smoking Gunns battle the Quebecers! The winners of that one will go on to meet The British Bulldogs with a shot at the Hollywood Blonds' Tag Team Titles at the King of the Ring on the line. Till then, so long everybody!

After the Superstars opening titles rolled, Crush was shown outside in the parking lot taping up his fists. Sean Mooney arrived to ask Crush what was going on. Crush sternly told Mooney to go find Adam Bomb and tell him that he'll be right here waiting for him. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Owen Hart with the Diving Headbutt in 0:11:25. Rating: *** 1/2 During the match, Tatanka was shown watching proceedings on a backstage monitor. The Native American was busy scouting his King of the Ring opponent Bam Bam Bigelow and he won't have helped but been impressed by the Beast from the East tonight. The beginning of the end for Owen Hart came when he missed a spinwheel kick and crashed out of the ring. Bigelow rammed the Rocket back-first into the ring post and ruthlessly worked over Owen's back. Bigelow put the Rocket away with a headbutt off the top rope. Kevin Kelly pinned Raymond Roy with the Word of Honor in 0:04:53. Rating: -1/4* During the bout, Kevin Kelly cut an insert promo echoing the fact that he is a changed man and a reformed character. Kelly said that his "Nailz" days are in the past and vowed to make the Big Boss Man a believer. The camera cut to outside the arena where Crush was beating up Big Bully Busick. Adam Bomb then jumped Crush from behind and they started fighting, with the fight heading into the building! Crush went for a punch on Bomb, but the Creation of Devastation pulled the timekeeper in the way and he got clocked! The show came back from commercial with the brawl still raging on. Big Bully Busick had joined Adam Bomb in the ring, where they laid two chairs on the canvas and slammed Crush onto them! Tatanka then came down and made the save as officials desperately attempted to restore order. Tito Santana pinned Damien DeMento with the Mexican Hammer in 0:07:48. Rating: 3/4 After the match, Lex Luger hit the ring and attacked Tito Santana from behind! Luger undid the top turnbuckle pad and whipped Santana into the unprotected steel, before lifting him up in the torture rack!! Rick Martel then ran out to make the save for his friend and Luger made a hasty exit. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed the British Bulldogs. The Bulldogs have advanced to the tournament final after defeating the Arabian Butchers last week and will go on to face the winners of tonight's bout between the Smoking Gunns and the Quebecers. Dynamite Kid said it didn't matter who they faced in the final, they would be in for a tough match with either team. Davey Boy claimed that they were focused on regaining the Tag Team Titles and wouldn't let the Gunns or the Quebecers block their path to the gold! The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) when Jacques pinned Bart Gunn after a flying elbowdrop in 0:16:48. Rating: * 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Billy Gunn.] The Smoking Gunns appeared as though they were heading for a showdown with the British Bulldogs as they set up Jacques for the Sidewinder. However, as Pierre distracted the official, Jimmy Hart grabbed the ankle of Billy Gunn, who was perched on the turnbuckle. Pierre then knocked Billy to the arena floor with an axhandle and dropped Bart with a choke bomb. Jacques followed up with a flying elbow for the pinfall, setting up a match with the British Bulldogs! Circuit information: The British Bulldogs will battle the Quebecers in two weeks' time in Albany, New York, with the winners securing a Tag Team Titles shot at the King of the Ring. Both teams have had their problems with current champions the Hollywood Blonds and it is sure to be an intriguing WWF Tag Team Title Match whoever emerges victorious in the tournament final. In an attempt to deal with the Crush-Adam Bomb situation, Jack Tunney has booked a tag team match for next week featuring Crush and Tatanka against Bomb and Big Bully Busick. Lex Luger was embarrassed by "The Model" Rick Martel when Martel stole his ring girls on last week's show. Tonight, Luger targeted Martel's friend Tito Santana in a revenge mission. These two pretty boys are certain to clash sooner rather than later. This coming week on Monday Night RAW, two more first round matches in the WWF Title Tournament at the King of the Ring will be announced. Also on the show, Duke Droese will make his first defence of the Hardcore Title against Repo Man. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/11/10 at 12:22:46 Monday Night RAW May 16th, 1994 Green Mountain State, Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with WWF Hardcore Champion Duke "The Dumpster" Droese making his way down the aisle for a title defence. He was jumped from behind by his opponent, the sneaky Repo Man, who began choking Droese with his tow rope! This Hardcore Title Match got off to a wild and crazy start! No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Duke Droese pinned Repo Man after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:07:14. Rating: ** 1/2 (Duke Droese retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) Repo Man came close to winning his first singles title in the WWF in this bout, but it was not to be. Repo ascended the turnbuckles and measured Duke Droese for a shot with a hubcap as the garbageman lay prone on the mat. However, when Repo launched himself off the top rope, Droese raised a boot and kicked the hubcap into Repo's face! Droese then smashed Repo over the head with his trash can for the three count! The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated P.J. Walker and Tony DeVito when Samu pinned Walker after a savate kick in 0:04:21. Rating: -1/2* A video package documenting the recent dispute between "The Narcissist" Lex Luger and Rick "The Model" Martel was shown. Vince McMahon announced that the two men will meet in a singles bout next week on Monday Night RAW. Comments from the two egotistical individuals followed hyping up next week's encounter. Jerry Lawler pinned Corey Student with the Piledriver in 0:06:51. Rating: 1/4 Gene Okerlund presented a King of the Ring report, in which two more first round matches were announced - "Double J" Jeff Jarrett vs Big Boss Man and The Undertaker vs Big Van Vader!! Okerlund also announced that The Undertaker will face Jeff Jarrett on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW. Jarrett cut a promo, claiming that the new "Ain't I Great" tour begins next week with victory over the Deadman and will culminate at the King of the Ring with him capturing the WWF Championship. Vince McMahon revealed that NFL Hall of Famer Art Donovan will appear at the King of the Ring pay-per-view as a guest commentator. Ted DiBiase pinned Reno Riggins with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:04:04. Rating: 1/4 [Sensational Sherri interfered against Reno Riggins.] Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase quickly put away Reno Riggins with the cobra clutch legsweep, before sending in Barry Windham to give Riggins a further beating. The Widowmaker threw Riggins out of the ring, while DiBiase took the mic and cut a promo regarding the King of the Ring. DiBiase demanded entry into the WWF Title Tournament, because last time there was a tourney for the WWF Championship, he went all the way to the finals before being screwed out of the gold. DiBiase claimed that this turn of events had been eating away at him for years and was determined to put things right at the King of the Ring! The show closed with Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan plugging next week's big singles matches. The Undertaker and Paul Bearer then cut a promo, with the Deadman vowing to put the final nail in the coffin of Jeff Jarrett's country music career on next week's show! Circuit information: Shocking news coming out of Titan Tower tonight as The Undertaker and Big Van Vader are set to clash in the first round of the WWF World Title tournament at the King of the Ring. This means that we are guaranteed to lose one of the major favourites to win the tournament at the very first hurdle! The stakes could not be any higher when these two superstars collide.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/17/10 at 17:52:34 WWF @ New York City, NY May 20th, 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY Annual Mayor's Benefit Show - tickets were free and the card was held for handicapped children. Max Moon pinned Repo Man with the Moon Landing in 0:07:51. Rating: * Barry Windham pinned Lightning Kid with the Superplex in 0:09:23. Rating: * 1/4 Crush defeated Big Van Vader by disqualification in 0:10:07. Rating: 1/2 [Harley Race interfered against Crush.] Big Van Vader was disqualified in this match when his manager Harley Race broke Crush's head squeeze with a chair shot to the big Hawaiian's back. Vader and Race attacked Crush after the bell, beating him down in the corner. Race placed the chair on Crush's chest and Vader ascended the turnbuckles in order to execute a Vader Bomb. However, Tatanka ran down to the ring and made the save, nailing Race and Vader with a series of Tomahawk chops and sending them out of the squared circle. Razor Ramon and Jeff Jarrett battled to a double countout in 0:14:52. Rating: * (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Ted DiBiase pinned Tatanka with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:11:36. Rating: * [Big Van Vader interfered against Tatanka.] Big Van Vader got his revenge on Tatanka during the course of this bout. Tatanka fell out of the ring after a Ted DiBiase kneelift and as Sensational Sherri distracted the official, Vader ran down and crushed Tatanka against the ring apron. Vader suplexed Tatanka on the floor and then rolled him back in, where DiBiase scored the pinfall with the Million Dollar Buster. After the match, Big Van Vader and Ted DiBiase continued to punish Tatanka. Thankfully, Crush ran out wielding a steel chair and sent the heels packing. The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) and Owen Hart defeated The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) and Shawn Michaels when Davey Boy pinned S. Austin with the Running Powerslam in 0:22:55. Rating: [Liz interfered against Davey Boy Smith.] [Liz interfered against Dynamite Kid.] The Undertaker pinned Lex Luger with the Tombstone in 0:09:51. Rating: 3/4 [Paul Bearer interfered against Lex Luger.] Randy Savage pinned Adam Bomb with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:13:56. Rating: * [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Randy Savage.] Card rating: * 1/4 Circuit information: A noteworthy show tonight at Madison Square Garden which saw a situation begin to develop between Big Van Vader and Tatanka. Tatanka thwarted Vader's attempts to seriously injure Crush earlier in the show and later on Vader interjected himself into Tatanka's bout with Ted DiBiase, costing the Native American the match. This is something we need to keep an eye on. Jeff Jarrett was telling anybody who would listen after the show that he deserves a rematch with Razor Ramon after nothing was settled in their Intercontinental Title Match. The Hollywood Blonds were furious that the British Bulldogs scored a pinfall victory over the Tag Team Champions in a superlative six man tag team match that also featured Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart. The Bulldogs will be in line for a title shot if they can defeat The Quebecers in just over one week on Superstars. WWF Superstars May 21st, 1994 Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with the shocking news that Big Bully Busick had not arrived at the arena yet! Busick was scheduled to be in action in the main event for a huge tag team match pitting himself and Adam Bomb against Crush and Tatanka. Harvey Wippleman was frantically making phone calls backstage, desperately trying to get in touch with Busick. As WWF World Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds made their way out for a non-title match, Vince McMahon hyped up next week's contest between The British Bulldogs and the Quebecers. The winners of that match will challenge the Blonds for the tag titles at the King of the Ring. The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated Barry Hardy and Joey Stallings when S. Austin pinned J. Stallings with the Stun Gun in 0:04:07. Rating: * 1/4 Following this match, Steve Austin and Brian Pillman attacked their opponents with the Tag Team Title belts and left them laying. The Blonds said that the same fate awaits either the Bulldogs or the Quebecers at the King of the Ring. Backstage, Harvey Wippleman was in Jack Tunney's office, begging the WWF President to postpone tonight's bout due to Busick's absence. Tunney refused and warned that Adam Bomb will have to face Crush and Tatanka two-on-one if Wippleman cannot find a partner to team with the Creation of Devastation! Skinner pinned Gus Kentaroccus with the Gatorbreaker in 0:04:43. Rating: -3/4* After the match, Skinner demanded a shot at the Hardcore Title in his own inimitable style. The Alligator Man then spat tobacco juice into Gus Kentaroccus' face. Gene Okerlund invited Tammy Fytch out to the podium for an interview. Okerlund quipped that Fytch's search for a superstar to manage had gone very quiet recently and cheekily asked Fytch if she was finding rejection hard to take. Fytch laughed it off and retorted that she had in fact found a man to manage! Fytch went on to say that she will shock the world when she reveals who it is! Okerlund urged Fytch to tell all, but Fytch insulted him and said he would have to wait just like everybody else. Lightning Kid defeated The Birdman via pinfall in 0:06:56. Rating: 1/2 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Harvey Wippleman, who was looking very pleased with himself. Wippleman revealed that Bam Bam Bigelow had agreed to take Big Bully Busick's place and team with Adam Bomb tonight. The Beast from the East came into shot and said he jumped at the chance to get his hands on Tatanka ahead of the King of the Ring. Bigelow threatened to bust up the Indian tonight and finish the job at the pay-per-view. Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Crush and Tatanka when Bigelow pinned Tatanka after a slingshot splash in 0:14:27. Rating: * [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Tatanka.] [Big Bully Busick interfered against Crush.] (Big Bully Busick no-showed.) It soon transpired that Big Bully Busick's absence was all a ruse concocted by Harvey Wippleman. Crush looked set to secure the win for his team as he signalled for the Cranium Crunch on Adam Bomb. However, Big Bully Busick then ran down the aisle and grabbed a hold of Crush's ankle! Busick dragged Crush out of the ring and hurled him into the ring steps, but then Tatanka took out Busick at ringside with a plancha! As Tatanka returned to the ring, Harvey Wippleman tripped him. Tatanka went after Wippleman, but Bigelow struck the Native American with a vicious lariat and then pinned him with a slingshot splash. Harvey Wippleman gloated as he and Bam Bam Bigelow, Adam Bomb and Big Bully Busick stood over their foes' broken bodies. The boos rained down from the crowd as the show went off air. Circuit notes: Bam Bam Bigelow is certainly on a roll. He defeated Owen Hart last week and tonight he pinned his opponent in the first round of the upcoming WWF Championship tournament, Tatanka, after replacing Big Bully Busick in the tag team main event. This victory was the culmination of a plan by Harvey Wippleman in order to get the upper hand on Crush for his man Adam Bomb. Wippleman's chicanery impressed the Beast from the East and the two men were caught deep in conversation after the show was over. Speculation is mounting over just which WWF superstar Tammy Fytch has signed up. However, Fytch remains tight-lipped and won't give us any clues regarding their identity. Join us this week for an unmissable edition of Monday Night RAW, in which we will bring you two huge singles bouts! First, Lex Luger and Rick Martel will finally settle their feud and then from there, The Undertaker squares off with country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett! Both of these men will be keen to avoid defeat with the King of the Ring just four short weeks away. Till then, so long everybody!
JoshiQ	Posted on 04/17/10 at 21:27:38 Yay! It always makes my day to see a new card posted in this thread. Looking forward to seeing who Fytch's new wrestler is.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/20/10 at 20:08:17 Monday Night RAW May 23rd, 1994 Struthers Fieldhouse, Youngstown, OH Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. This week's edition of Monday Night RAW began with comments from Jeff Jarrett and the Undertaker ahead of their singles match in the main event of the show. Gene Okerlund presented another King of the Ring report, in which Mr. Perfect vs. Adam Bomb and Randy Savage vs. Lex Luger were announced for the first round of the WWF World Title tournament. "Macho Man" Randy Savage made his way out to a rapturous ovation from the capacity crowd. Savage joined Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan at the commentary table for the opening contest and said he was out to get a closer look at Lex Luger ahead of the King of the Ring. Savage and Luger then had a staredown prior to the Narcissist's match with "The Model" Rick Martel. Lex Luger made Rick Martel submit to the torture rack in 0:11:54. Rating: *** Two of the vainest members of the WWF roster battered each other in this surprisingly hard-hitting battle. Each man's intention was to soften up the other's back in preparation for their respective submission finishers. Lex Luger attempted a suplex on the unprotected ringside floor, but Rick Martel was able to reverse the move and punish the Narcissist's back. Luger ended up removing the top turnbuckle pad behind the official's back and, much like he had done to Martel's friend Tito Santana on Superstars, whipped the Model back-first into the unprotected steel buckle. The Narcissist then hoisted Martel up into the torture rack for the submission win. Lex Luger went over to the commentary table after the match and claimed that the same fate which had befell Rick Martel awaited Randy Savage at the King of the Ring! Savage blew off The Narcissist's comments as Luger left, but the sneaky Narcissist then removed his protective forearm pad and blasted the Macho Man in the head from behind!! The crowd booed Luger out of the building as Vince McMahon frantically called for help! Bobby Heenan and Lex Luger shared a high five as the show went to commercial. Randy Savage was knocked out in the attack by Lex Luger and had to be helped out of the arena during the commercial break. Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated Austin Steele and Reno Riggins when Ferguson pinned A. Steele after a splash from the second rope in 0:04:00. Rating: * 1/4 In an interview backstage, Duke Droese accepted Skinner's challenge and said he would defend the Hardcore Title against him on next week's show. Backstage, the doctors were tending to Randy Savage. While a bit woozy, the Macho Man was still coherent enough to cut a promo on Lex Luger and vowed to make him pay at the King of the Ring! The Undertaker defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification in 0:14:07. Rating: ** 1/4 [Big Van Vader interfered against The Undertaker.] [Tennessee Lee interfered against The Undertaker.] The Undertaker bounced Jeff Jarrett around easily in the early-going of this match. Double J realised quickly that he was in over his head and decided to take a cowardly count out loss. However, the Big Boss Man, Jarrett's opponent in the first round of the WWF Title Tournament at the King of the Ring, showed up in the aisle and blocked Jarrett's exit out of the arena! Jarrett had no option but to return to the squared circle and face the Undertaker as Monday Night RAW went to commercial! Back from the break and the match had swung in Jeff Jarrett's favour, thanks to some timely interference from Tennessee Lee. Jarrett worked over the Deadman's left leg in order to set up the figure-four leglock. When Jarrett went for the move though, Undertaker grabbed him by the throat and planted him with a devastating choke slam! The crowd were in raptures as the Phenom signalled for the finish, but suddenly Big Van Vader hit the ring and assaulted The Undertaker!! The referee immediately called for a disqualification! Big Van Vader cornered The Undertaker and hammered away with a succession of stinging punches to the body. Vader connected with several more fists before setting up for an avalanche in the corner! However, The Undertaker moved out of the way at the last split second and Vader connected hard with the turnbuckles! 'Taker then struck the winded Vader with a kick to the head, sending Vader crashing through the ropes and out of the ring!! The Undertaker started to leave the ring to go after Vader, but Paul Bearer intervened and held him back by the hair. Vader went crazy at ringside, throwing around chairs and the steel steps. Harley Race was struggling to hold Vader back as the show went off-air! Circuit information: Big Van Vader fired the first shot tonight ahead of his King of the Ring first round match with The Undertaker, attacking the Deadman during the course of 'Taker's bout with Jeff Jarrett. The Undertaker took the fight right back to Vader and the two superstars had to be separated as the show went off the air. The incentives are huge for both Vader and Undertaker at King of the Ring, as if one can eliminate the other from the tournament, then they'll give themselves a great chance of taking the vacant WWF Title after removing one of the top contenders in the first round. Lex Luger defeated Rick Martel tonight to end their feud, and then turned his attention to his King of the Ring first round opponent, Randy Savage. In a cowardly act, Luger knocked out Savage from behind with his steel plated forearm. Savage is determined to make Luger pay for his actions, but have the Narcissist's devious acts thrown the Macho Man off his game? Here's how the tournament for the vacant WWF Championship is shaping up for the King of the Ring, live from Baltimore, Maryland, on June 19th only on pay-per-view: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty The Undertaker vs. Big Van Vader Big Boss Man vs. Jeff Jarrett Adam Bomb vs. Mr. Perfect Randy Savage vs. Lex Luger After the show, Rick Martel announced that he was taking an undefined amount of time off in order to regroup his thoughts and get his career into perspective. Tonight's loss to Lex Luger has really hurt the Model and we hope to see him back sooner rather than later. This weekend on Superstars, The Quebecers square off against The British Bulldogs with a WWF Tag Team Title shot against the Hollywood Blonds at the King of the Ring on the line! Make sure you do not miss it! Till then, so long everybody!!
JoshiQ	Posted on 04/20/10 at 20:42:37 I'm really looking forward to the King of the Ring. I love one night tournaments. I'm going to guess you don't go the route of having the Undertaker win the title here, and you hold off until SummerSlam or Survivor Series, so maybe Vader takes the Title. The build-up to the tournament has been done very well as I could see about half the guys in it winning the strap.
LillaThrilla	Posted on 04/21/10 at 04:05:37 Poor Martel. He should be glad Lex sent him back-first into the exposed turnbuckle instead of face-first. Otherwise Martel's might not have the looks of a model anymore. (He quit on you, didn't he?) :P Looking forward very much to KotR!

Rick Martel is going to be repackaged and come back with a new gimmick soon. By the way, thanks to everybody for your pleasant comments on this circuit. They are very much welcomed and I appreciate you taking the time to do so. It inspires me to work hard on this circuit and I hope I can deliver with the King of the Ring. Rest assured I try and keep up with all the circuits on this board as much as possible and I will endeavour to pass along my comments too.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/25/10 at 23:20:11 WWF Superstars May 28th, 1994 Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from The British Bulldogs and The Quebecers ahead of their tournament final showdown in the main event of the show. The winners will earn a WWF World Tag Team Title shot against The Hollywood Blonds at King of the Ring. Mr. Perfect pinned Mantaur after an inside cradle in 0:08:09. Rating: * 1/2 [Kim Chee interfered against Mr. Perfect.] During the bout, Mr. Perfect cut an insert promo on Adam Bomb ahead of their first round match in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. Perfect said he had won tournaments for vacant titles before and would rely on that experience to ensure that June 19th is a "perfect" night. It was also announced during the course of this contest that Kim Chee - or anybody else for that matter - has not had any contact with the Tazmaniac since he walked out on Mantaur in the middle of their tag team match on Monday Night RAW nearly three weeks ago. Mr. Perfect had to rely on his speed and quickness to get past the more powerful and intimidating Mantaur. Mantaur went for his Stampede in the corner, but Perfect avoided the blow and then rolled up Mantaur for the three count! Scotty Flamingo pinned Matt Hardy with the Beach Break in 0:05:29. Rating: 1/2 The scene opened in what appeared to be a bobsleigh track. Two men in a Swiss bobsleigh were finishing up a run. As they emerged from the sleigh, a woman walked up to greet them. The woman introduced herself as Alundra and explained that she coaches Lars and Luca, the finest bobsleigh team in the entire world. Unfortunately, she said, in between Olympics it can be hard to stay in shape. Alundra stated that this is why Lars and Luca are coming to the World Wrestling Federation and have their sights set on the WWF World Tag Team Titles. Alundra said they'll be sure to see everyone soon, as they will be champions in the ring, just like they are on the ice. Gene Okerlund brought Bam Bam Bigelow out onto the interview podium and put over the Beast from the East's recent run of victories. Okerlund said that Bigelow had to be considered one of the favourites for the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. Bigelow claimed that was the smartest thing Okerlund had ever said. Bigelow said that he had it all - size, agility and now the smartest man in the WWF by his side! Okerlund asked what he meant, when Harvey Wippleman made his way out and joined them on stage! Bigelow said that he had been impressed with Wippleman's plan last week which led to him pinning Tatanka. Bigelow then revealed that Wippleman approached him after the show and said that he would have been a fool to turn down Wippleman's offer of management. Bigelow and Wippleman's mutual appreciation society was then rudely interrupted by Tatanka, who was still smarting from last week's defeat. Tatanka attacked Bigelow with chops, knocking the Beast from the East off the interview podium! The Native American then leapt onto his old rival with a flying chop to the skull, knocking Bigelow off his feet! Officials and road agents quickly swarmed between the two men in an attempt to restore order. Razor Ramon pinned Barry Horowitz after a powerslam in 0:03:27. Rating: 1/4 During the bout, Razor Ramon cut an insert promo. The Intercontinental Champion said he intended to add more gold to his collection by capturing the vacant WWF Championship at the King of the Ring. The Bad Guy will discover who he will face in the tournament this week on Monday Night RAW when the final two first round matches are announced. WWF World Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds made their way down to ringside for a better view of the tournament final. They sat in their custom-made directors chairs and traded words with both the Quebecers and the British Bulldogs before the match began. The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) defeated The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) when Dynamite Kid pinned Jacques after a flying headbutt in 0:16:23. Rating: *** 1/4 [Jimmy Hart interfered against Davey Boy Smith.] [Jimmy Hart interfered against Dynamite Kid.] The British Bulldogs secured a tag team title shot at the King of the Ring as they emerged victorious over the Quebecers in a solid bout. The Quebecers appeared on course to come out on top when Jacques struck Dynamite Kid with Jimmy Hart's megaphone. However, Davey Boy Smith pulled his partner out of the way of the Quebecers' assisted senton, a manoeuvre which would have surely killed off the Bulldogs' challenge. Smith planted Jacques with a running powerslam and Dynamite followed up with a headbutt off the top for the pin. The Bulldogs and the Hollywood Blonds had a confrontation after the match as Vince McMahon closed the show by announcing that the WWF Tag Team Title Match at the King of the Ring was now official! Circuit information: The Hollywood Blonds will defend the WWF World Tag Team Titles against the British Bulldogs at the King of the Ring after the Bulldogs defeated the Quebecers on tonight's show. Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid are determined to capture the straps for a record fourth time on June 19th and avenge their WrestleMania pinfall loss to Steve Austin and Brian Pillman. Bam Bam Bigelow announced this evening that Harvey Wippleman is his new manager. With the unscrupulous Wippleman now by his side, Bigelow must surely be considered one of the favourites for the King of the Ring tournament. Tatanka already had his work cut out for him with having to contend with a rejuventated Beast from the East, but now he'll have to keep an eye out for Wippleman as well. Next week on Monday Night RAW, Gene Okerlund returns with another King of the Ring report in which the final two first round matches in the WWF Title tournament will be revealed. Also on the show, wrestling garbageman Duke "The Dumpster" Droese defends his Hardcore Title against the Alligator Man, Skinner - do not expect a catch-as-catch-can classic! We hope you'll join us on Monday night!

Is this your alternate take on The Bodydonnas, using a bobsled gimmick instead of a fitness gimmick? Or is this another terrible mid-90s WWF gimmick I just wasn't aware of? It's certainly not out of place... Though really if you're going to do a bobsledder gimmick in 1994 shouldn't they be Jamaicans instead of Swiss? :P

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/02/10 at 12:03:28 Monday Night RAW May 30th, 1994 Struthers Fieldhouse, Youngstown, OH Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan opened the show by hyping up tonight's show, which features a Hardcore Title Match and the final two first round matches of the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring will be announced. Moon Lightning (Max Moon and Lightning Kid) defeated Matt Gardener and Kenny Hendrix when Kid pinned K. Hendrix after the Lightning Strikes Twice in 0:05:42. Rating: * 3/4 Gene Okerlund presented another King of the Ring report, in which he announced that Ted DiBiase will meet Crush and Razor Ramon will face a mystery opponent in the first round of the WWF Championship tournament. For clarification on the identity of Ramon's opponent, Okerlund threw it over to WWF President Jack Tunney. Tunney said that the Bad Guy's opponent was originally scheduled to be Bad News Brown, but since Brown is currently serving a sixty day suspension, he was offering the winner of a battle royal the opportunity to fill the final slot in the tournament! Tunney announced that the battle royal will take place in two weeks on Monday Night RAW. Barry Windham pinned AC Connor with the Superplex in 0:03:59. Rating: * 1/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon. Mooney asked Ramon if he felt he was at a disadvantage going into the King of the Ring as he did not yet know the identity of his first round opponent. Razor said that the only man at a disadvantage would be the superstar unlucky enough to win the battle royal and then go out in the first round of the King of the Ring, courtesy of the Bad Guy. Vince McMahon announced that Crush and Adam Bomb would finally meet in a singles encounter on next week's show in an attempt to resolve their feud. Jerry Lawler pinned John Paul with the Piledriver in 0:06:43. Rating: * 1/2 After Jerry "The King" Lawler dragged out his beating of John Paul for as long as possible, Friar Ferguson made his way out to present another edition of the Sermon. However, as Lawler was leaving the arena, he looked the mad monk up-and-down with a look of complete disdain. Friar Ferguson's guest on the Sermon was Mr. Perfect, who received a nice ovation. At his pulpit, Ferguson asked Perfect about his chances of winning the tournament and capturing the vacant WWF Championship at the King of the Ring. Perfect said that there are all kinds of superstars in the tourney - mastodons, phenoms, millionaires - but only one man is "perfect". Perfect was then interrupted by an unwelcome appearance from his King of the Ring first round opponent, Adam Bomb, along with his weasel of a manager Harvey Wippleman. Perfect and Bomb faced off, but then Crush made his way out and he and Adam Bomb began trading blows! Referees and road agents spilled out from the back to separate the two men ahead of their singles match on next week's show! No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Duke Droese pinned Skinner with the Trash Compactor in 0:08:43. Rating: * 1/2 (Duke Droese retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) Skinner spat tobacco juice into Duke Droese's eyes as the garbageman entered the ring and seized the early advantage. Skinner picked up a near fall when he decked Droese with his alligator claw. Droese blocked Skinner's Gatorbreaker attempt by hooking the top rope with his arm, causing Skinner to take a hard spill onto a trash can lid! Droese then followed up with the Trash Compactor for the three count. Circuit information: WWF President Jack Tunney has presented a huge opportunity for somebody in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW.

Who will step up to the plate and earn the chance to become the new WWF Champion? Here's how the tournament for the vacant WWF Championship is shaping up for the King of the Ring, live from Baltimore, Maryland, on June 19th only on pay-per-view: Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty The Undertaker vs. Big Van Vader Big Boss Man vs. Jeff Jarrett Adam Bomb vs. Mr. Perfect Randy Savage vs. Lex Luger Ted DiBiase vs. Crush Razor Ramon vs. Winner of a battle royal on 13th June We have also been informed that the bracketing for the tournament will be revealed on next week's show.

ntnrerun	Posted on 05/02/10 at 16:49:37 Solid matches for KOTR. I'll predict Mr. Perfect and Bigelow in the finals, with Bigelow winning the title.
JoshiQ	Posted on 05/02/10 at 22:20:19 Kind of a little lackluster Raw, but interested to see if you go somewhere with Lawler-Ferguson. Could be a fun, little side angle. Really looking forward to KOTR. I keep changing my mind on who I think will walk out with the Title.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/03/10 at 20:09:36 WWF Superstars June 4th, 1994 Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with Vince McMahon in the ring, ready to conduct a special face-to-face interview. McMahon introduced the British Bulldogs and then brought out the WWF World Tag Team Champions, the Hollywood Blonds. McMahon warned both teams to show a degree of decorum and not to let things get physical. The Blonds put themselves over as the tag team of the future and branded the Bulldogs as yesterday's news. Steve Austin reminded everybody that they were the team that had ended the Bulldogs' most recent title reign at WrestleMania and bragged that they had done so easily. Dynamite Kid fired back, saying that he and Davey Boy would make history at the King of the Ring by winning the tag titles for a record fourth time. Pillman retorted that the Bulldogs couldn't beat them and said that as long as they held the belts, the Bulldogs never would. Davey Boy claimed that at the King of the Ring, the Blonds would discover that their bite is a lot worse than their bark! Austin smirked and claimed that it is time for the Bulldogs to be put down. He and Pillman said that these two puppy dogs would go out with a whimper at King of the Ring! Austin and Pillman then pushed their title belts into the Bulldogs' faces and claimed that this was as close as they would ever get to the WWF Tag Team Titles again. Dynamite and Davey Boy shoved the Blonds away and then a full scale brawl broke out as the crowd came alive! All four men were rolling around on the mat trading punches as Vince McMahon yelled to the back for some help! A posse of officials hit the ring and tried to restore order as the show went to commercial! The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) defeated Gary Scott and Glen Ruth when Earthquake pinned G. Scott after a sitdown splash in 0:05:41. Rating: * 1/2 It was announced during the bout that the Natural Disasters will collide with the Arabian Butchers in two weeks on Monday Night RAW. The scene opened inside the training facility of Lars and Luca - The Swiss Bobsleigh Team. They were, with the help of some computerized program, running a wheeled bobsleigh across the gym floor. Alundra then came into view and faced the camera. She warned not to let her men's dedication to the bobsleigh fool you, they are wrestling machines. Even with focusing their training on the bobsleigh, they should have no equals in the WWF tag team division. Marty Jannetty pinned Damien DeMento with the Rocker Dropper in 0:07:26. Rating: * 3/4 During the match, Marty Jannetty cut an insert promo, addressing Shawn Michaels sneak attack on him several weeks ago. Jannetty said that Michaels is a big man when the other person's back is turned. Jannetty promised it would be a different story when the former tag team partners square off face-to-face at the King of the Ring. Owen Hart pinned Tim McNeany with the Rocket Launcher in 0:05:22. Rating: 1/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Harvey Wippleman, who was accompanied by his stable of Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and Big Bully Busick. Wippleman said that this Monday night on RAW, Adam Bomb would lay a beating on Crush so bad that the Hawaiian's slot in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring would be in doubt. Mooney broached the possibility of two of Wippleman's men, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow, meeting each other in the tournament. Wippleman condemned Mooney's line of questioning and accused him of trying to stir up dissension in his ranks. Wippleman claimed that his men are a unit and said that either Bomb or Bigelow would bring home the gold at the King of the Ring. Wippleman added that more gold would be coming to the group, as Big Bully Busick will be going after Duke Droese and the Hardcore Title! Big Van Vader pinned Tito Santana with the Vader Bomb in 0:08:37. Rating: * 1/4 Tito Santana showed some brief flurries of offence in a bout which was dominated by Big Van Vader from bell to bell. Vader crushed Santana with an avalanche in the corner, before power bombing him and scoring the pinfall with the Vader Bomb. After the match, Big Van Vader punished Tito Santana further with another Vader Bomb. Vader climbed the turnbuckles, ready to deliver a third when suddenly all the lights in the arena went out! When they came back on, The Undertaker was standing in the middle of the ring! The crowd was going absolutely crazy!! Vader clambered back down and went to confront the Deadman! The Undertaker and Vader went nose-to-nose in the centre of the ring! The fans were on their feet while the tense staredown continued, just as Superstars ran out of time! Circuit information: Big Van Vader put in an impressive performance tonight on Superstars, crushing the veteran Tito Santana and continuing to assault the former Intercontinental Champion after the bell. However, The Undertaker put in an appearance and he and Vader squared up to each other as the show went off-air. We can reveal that there was no physical altercation after the show, as Harley Race and Paul Bearer led their respective men away. The Undertaker vs Vader bout is unquestionably the most eagerly anticipated first round match in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. The face-to-face interview between the Hollywood Blonds and the British Bulldogs - who will clash over the WWF Tag Team Titles at the King of the Ring - rather predictably descended into chaos. There is no love lost between these two talented teams and the Bulldogs are keen to regain the titles when they are let off their leashes on June 19th! After weeks of build-up, Crush and Adam Bomb will finally meet one-on-one this coming week on Monday Night RAW! Also on the show, Ted DiBiase will appear on the King's Court and the bracketing for the WWF World Title tournament will be revealed! Till then, so long everybody!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/18/10 at 22:30:50 Monday Night RAW June 6th, 1994 Struthers Fieldhouse, Youngstown, OH Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a highlights package documenting the bitter feud between Crush and Adam Bomb. These two men will settle their differences in tonight's main event on Monday Night RAW! Big Boss Man pinned Big Bully Busick with the Boss Man Slam in 0:07:34. Rating: ** 1/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Big Boss Man.] This hard-hitting contest got off to a wild start as Big Bully Busick avoided a charge from the Big Boss Man and the former corrections officers took a nasty looking spill to the outside. Harvey Wippleman took this opportunity to put the boots to the fallen Boss Man, much to the chagrin of the crowd. Kevin Kelly - the man who is determined to prove to the Big Boss Man that he has changed his ways - made his way out to protect the Boss Man. Busick left the ring and got into a shoving match with Kelly. The referee with subsequently ejected Kelly from ringside. As the bout went on, Big Boss Man had things going his way, executing a powerslam and a spinebuster on Big Bully Busick. However, as Harvey Wippleman distracted the official, Busick struck Boss Man with a low blow. Busick then caught sight of Boss Man's nightstick in the corner of the ring and he crawled over towards it. That brought out Duke Droese, who pulled the nightstick out of Busick's reach! The irate Busick yelled at Droese, before turning around into the Boss Man Slam and a pinfall loss! Backstage, Jeff Jarrett had been watching the previous match on a monitor in his locker room. Double J cockily claimed that he had absolutely nothing to worry about when he goes up against the Big Boss Man at the King of the Ring. Gene Okerlund presented another King of the Ring report, in which the bracketing for the WWF World Title tournament was revealed. Details can be found at the bottom of the page. The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) defeated Bert Centeno and Barry Hardy when Sags pinned B. Centeno after a flying elbowdrop in 0:04:50. Rating: * An excited Tammy Fytch cut a promo in which she announced that she will reveal her new client on next week's show. Fytch added that the identity of this superstar will shock the wrestling world and that under her guidance, her new charge is headed straight to the top of the World Wrestling Federation!! Backstage, Sean Mooney caught up with "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. Oozing confidence, Luger brought up his winning of last year's King of the Ring tournament. The Narcissist claimed that history would repeat itself this year, only this time he'd also be crowned the new WWF Champion. Suddenly, Randy Savage burst onto the scene and tackled Luger into a backstage wall! Savage unloaded with a barrage of punches on the Narcissist until several officials managed to drag the Macho Man away! Repo Man made L.A. Gore submit to the Crowbar in 0:02:31. Rating: 1/2* Jerry "The King" Lawler presented an edition of the King's Court. Lawler took several shots at Friar Ferguson and claimed that the King's Court was the best interview segment on Monday Night RAW. Lawler's guest this week was Ted DiBiase. DiBiase wanted to address his first round opponent at the King of the Ring - Crush - and invited him down to the ring. The Million Dollar Man stated that he had an offer for Crush that the big Hawaiian couldn't refuse. Crush looked sceptical as DiBiase's bodyguard Barry Windham produced two giant wads of cash from his leather jacket! Windham waved the cash in Crush's face while DiBiase claimed that this money - and a whole lot more - could be Crush's. All Crush would have to do is pull out of the King of the Ring tournament, effectively giving DiBiase a bye into the quarter finals!! The crowd voiced their disapproval and urged Crush to turn down DiBiase's bribe! Crush took the money and began counting it out, while DiBiase cackled and said that Crush could buy all the coconuts he wants with that cash. Suddenly, Crush threw the cash into the crowd and told DiBiase he could stick his money! The fans popped as DiBiase looked on in disbelief!! Crush demanded that DiBiase get out of the ring, because he had some business to attend to in the shape of Adam Bomb. Barry Windham was ready to go after Crush, but The Million Dollar Man held him back and the two men left the ring quietly. Crush warmed up as the ring crew removed the King's Court paraphernalia in preparation for the main event. The camera cut backstage, where a livid Ted DiBiase said that he had given Crush the offer of a lifetime. DiBiase warned that Crush had made a giant mistake in turning him down and vowed to make Crush pay dearly for his stupidity!! Crush made Adam Bomb submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:15:26. Rating: *** [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Crush.] This grudge match had been months in the making and the two powerhouses went after each other from the opening bell. The crowd were firmly behind Crush and he appeared to be heading for victory when he hoisted Adam Bomb up for the Hawaiian Smasher. However, as he swung Bomb around, Bomb's legs connected with the referee and knocked him down! Crush drilled Bomb with the Hawaiian Smasher and went for the cover, but there was no referee to count. Harvey Wippleman signalled to the back and Bam Bam Bigelow ran down to the ring! Bigelow jumped Crush, squashing him with an avalanche and landing a succession of falling headbutts. Tatanka then hit the ring for the save and he and Bigelow brawled to the back. Bomb crawled over and covered Crush while Wippleman revived the official, but Crush kicked out at two to the joy of the crowd!! Frustrated, the Creation of Devastation went for the Atom Smasher, but Crush backdropped his way out of danger!! Crush then signalled for the Cranium Crunch and applied his painful submission hold for the win! Crush celebrated his win with the fans as the show drew to a close. Before RAW went off-air, Vince McMahon confidently predicted that with all this momentum on his side, Crush will walk out of the King of the Ring as the new WWF Champion!! Circuit information: Crush certainly has the impetus behind him heading into the King of the Ring, defeating his bitter rival Adam Bomb and winning their feud. Crush also rejected Ted DiBiase's substantial cash offer to drop out of the WWF Title tournament. However, the Million Dollar Man is not about to let this situation rest and directed a chilling warning to the big Hawaiian that Crush would pay dearly for turning him down. Emotions are running high in the locker room ahead of the tournament. Randy Savage attacked his first round opponent Lex Luger, gaining a measure of revenge for Luger knocking him out with a cheap shot two weeks ago. Also, Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow ended up fighting backstage and had to be separated after both men got involved in tonight's main event. The bracketing for the WWF World Title tournament has been revealed and here is how it shapes up: The Undertaker vs. Big Van Vader Big Boss Man vs. Jeff Jarrett Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow Adam Bomb vs. Mr. Perfect Ted DiBiase vs. Crush Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty Randy Savage vs. Lex Luger Razor Ramon vs. Winner of a battle royal on 13th June The tournament throws up some intriguing possibilities, such as Bam Bam Bigelow and Adam Bomb - two of Harvey Wippleman's charges - meeting in the quarter finals. It is extremely difficult to predict the winner of this one and with so much on the line, which WWF superstar will have enough on the night to become the next WWF Champion? Next week's edition of Monday Night RAW will be HUGE! With just one week to go until the King of the Ring, one superstar will secure the chance of a lifetime and take the final spot in the WWF Title tournament as we bring you a 20 Man Battle Royal! Also on the show, a massive six man tag team main event has been signed pitting Macho Man Randy Savage, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty against the team of their respective King of the Ring opponents, Lex Luger, Bam Bam Bigelow and Shawn Michaels!! Before all that though, join us this weekend for Superstars as both Ted DiBiase and Shawn Michaels will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!!
LillaThrilla	Posted on 05/18/10 at 23:40:07 Ah, Kronik fueding years before teaming! I was actually a fan of Wrath and Adam Bomb - not so much Brian Adams. I look forward to the day Harvey Wippleman faces his wrath. :) KotR is looking really good!
JoshiQ	Posted on 05/19/10 at 01:03:50 Hey, King, I don't know how often you visit the TNM 3:16 boards, but since new people aren't allowed to register here for the time being, somebody by the name of "gentleman jeff" started a thread up there about your circuit with some really nice things being said. Thought I'd give you the heads up. Anyways, another great card the waiting for KOTR is definitely getting hard to do. Looking at the brackets it looks like the Undertaker should have it easy if he can get past Vader, but I don't know if that's who you want to take the title now that he can't beat Hart to win it. Vader, Michaels, Undertaker, and Savage (as a dark horse) seem to be good possibilities. Oh, and I'm still enjoying the heck out of the way you write up DiBiase. You have him down pat.

JoshiQ	Posted on 05/19/10 at 15:44:39 Yeah, since Oliver is down with the flu maybe he'll make an appearance here and fix some stuff on the forum....or not. One can hope. :)
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/22/10 at 13:46:34 WWF Superstars June 11th, 1994 Erie, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) defeated David Heath and JW Storm when Fatu pinned D. Heath with the Flying Bodypress in 0:04:29. Rating: 3/4* [Afa interfered against JW Storm.] The Swiss Bobsleigh Team were shown training once more. Alundra announced that the next WWF Tag Team Champions, Lars and Luca, will debut on next week's edition of Superstars. Alundra then cut the promo short as her team had to work on their push starts. Vince McMahon revealed that in addition to the debut of the Swiss Bobsleigh Team, Duke Droese will defend the Hardcore Title against Big Bully Busick next week on Superstars. Busick then cut a promo on Droese, blaming the wrestling garbageman for his loss to the Big Boss Man on Monday Night RAW. Busick vowed to get his own back by taking Droese's belt. Sean Mooney interviewed Bob Backlund backstage. Backlund said that as a former WWF Champion, he was disappointed not to be included in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. Backlund vowed to prove to WWF officials that he deserved to be in it by defeating Ted DiBiase tonight and then go on to win the battle royal on Monday Night RAW. Ted DiBiase pinned Bob Backlund with the Million Dollar Buster in 0:08:28. Rating: * 1/2 [Sensational Sherri interfered against Bob Backlund.] [Barry Windham interfered against Bob Backlund.] During the bout, Ted DiBiase cut an insert promo on Crush. DiBiase warned that he'd take Crush out of the WWF Title tournament - one way or another. The Million Dollar Man also announced that Barry Windham will not be participating in Monday night's battle royal, as he requires the Widowmaker to be completely focused on watching his back. Ted DiBiase appeared to be heading for defeat as Bob Backlund locked in the cross-face chicken wing. However, as Sensational Sherri took the referee, Barry Windham entered the ring and connected with a big boot to Backlund's head! DiBiase then drilled Backlund with the Million Dollar Buster for the pin. After the match, Jerry Lawler announced that his guest on the King's Court - the best interview show in the WWF - would be none other than Ted DiBiase's first round opponent at the King of the Ring, Crush! Vince McMahon brought up the past history between Lawler and Crush, noting that Crush had been brutally attacked by the King when he last appeared on Lawler's show. McMahon warned Lawler to be on his best behaviour this Monday night! The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Gary Scott and Brooklyn Brawler when Billy Gunn pinned B. Brawler after the Sidewinder in 0:04:38. Rating: 1/2 During the bout, The Smoking Gunns cut an insert promo noting that they will be competing in the 20 man battle royal on Monday Night RAW. Macho Man Randy Savage cut a promo regarding the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. Savage acknowledged that the last time there was a tournament to crown a new WWF Champion, he won it. The Macho Man claimed that he felt better now than he did then and said that the King of the Ring would be his night. Shawn Michaels pinned The Berzerker after a superkick in 0:10:18. Rating: *** The Berzerker blasted Shawn Michaels with a nasty kick to the head, sending the Heartbreak Kid over the top rope to the floor. Berzerker wanted to take the count out win, but Liz helped her man back into the ring. As Berzerker protested with the official, Michaels recovered enough to strike the Berzerker with a vicious superkick to the back of the head to claim victory. The show concluded with comments from such luminaries as Owen Hart, Max Moon, Scotty Flamingo, The Birdman and The Quebecers, who were all confident of winning the battle royal on Monday Night RAW and taking the final spot in the WWF World Title tournament at the King of the Ring! Circuit information: It is the opportunity of a lifetime for somebody, but which of the twenty superstars will emerge victorious in the battle royal this coming week on Monday Night RAW and claim the final first round spot in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring? One man ruled out of the running is Tito Santana, who is still nursing injuries as a result of Big Van Vader's assault on last week's show and cannot compete. Also on Monday Night RAW, rest assured that the ring will be specially reinforced as The Natural Disasters clash with the Arabian Butchers. Plus, in a giant six man tag team bout, Macho Man Randy Savage, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty square off against the team of their King of the Ring opponents, Lex Luger, Bam Bam Bigelow and Shawn Michaels!! Not only that, but Tammy Fytch's weeks-long search for a superstar has come to an end and she will reveal their identity this Monday night! This is a show you do not want to miss, so join us on RAW for the Countdown to the Crowning!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/26/10 at 22:50:46 Monday Night RAW - Countdown to the Crowning June 13th, 1994 Erie, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with some breaking news from Sean Mooney who was outside the arena. Mooney revealed that Macho Man Randy Savage - who was scheduled to compete in the six man tag team match in the main event of the show - was yet to arrive! Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan hyped up the importance of the 20 man battle royal which would open the show. The winner will secure the final spot in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring and face Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon in the first round. As superstars began to fill up the ring for the battle royal, Tammy Fytch strode out from the back and called a halt to proceedings. Fytch was greeted with a chorus of boos. Fytch said that there was still one more participant to enter the match - her new client and the next WWF Champion - Scott Steiner!! The fans looked on in disbelief as Scott Steiner walked out, shook hands with Fytch and entered the ring!! 20-Man Battle Royal: Scott Steiner won a 20-man Battle Royal: x DeMento threw out Jacques after a jawbreaker in 0:01:12 x Kid threw out Skinner after a thrust kick to the head in 0:01:35 x Busick threw out Droese in 0:02:18 x K.

Steiner threw out Backlund after a forearm to the back in 0:17:00 Rating: * 1/2 [Kim Chee and Tammy Fytch interfered against Kevin Kelly.] [Tammy Fytch interfered against The Berzerker.] [Tammy Fytch interfered against Bob Backlund.] Scott Steiner celebrated his victory with Tammy Fytch after the match, hugging her and lifting her in the air. As a result of this win, Steiner earns a place in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring, facing Razor Ramon in the first round. Fytch yelled into the camera that with her by his side, Scott Steiner's career would be covered in golden glory. Backstage, Razor Ramon - who had been watching the battle royal on a monitor in his locker room - was interviewed by Gene Okerlund. Ramon congratulated Scott Steiner on his win, but questioned the former tag team champion getting involved with "that chica". Razor vowed to defeat Steiner at the King of the Ring and it wouldn't matter who his manager is. While the Natural Disasters made their way out for their grudge match with the Arabian Butchers, Randy Savage phoned in to the show. Savage claimed that he had not made it to Monday Night RAW yet because his car battery had been stolen! Bobby Heenan interrupted and poured scorn on the Macho Man's story, suggesting Savage had invented this tale to avoid getting knocked out by Lex Luger again. Savage vowed to be there by the end of the show and hung up! The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated The Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) when Manuel pinned Typhoon with the Moonsault in 0:04:55. Earthquake injured his right knee. He will be out for approximately 4 months. Rating: * [Mr. Fuji interfered against Earthquake.] The Natural Disasters and the Arabian Butchers began this bout by brawling around the ringside area. During the donnybrook, one of the Butchers broke Mr. Fuji's cane against the back of Earthquake's knee. Earthquake lay in agony at ringside for the remainder of the bout, essentially making it a handicap bout. The odds were too great for Typhoon who, despite some brief flurries of offence, eventually succumbed to the double teaming by the ruthless Butchers. Fuji's men dropped Typhoon with a devastating double spinebuster, before one of the Butchers dropped a leg on Typhoon's head and the other followed up with a moonsault for the pinfall. Jerry Lawler made his way down to the ring for this week's edition of the King's Court. Lawler took a few cheap shots at Friar Ferguson and his Sermon interview segment, claiming that viewers were turning off in droves when the mad monk was on the screen. The King's guest this week was Crush, who made his entrance to a tremendous ovation. Lawler acknowledged the previous bad blood between the two men and warned Crush to keep his distance. Just then, the Arabian Butchers - who had not yet left ringside after the previous bout - entered the ring and jumped Crush from behind! Manuel and Victor put the boots to Crush, while Lawler laughed hysterically and got some licks in himself. The Butchers squashed Crush in the corner and hit a succession of splashes on the big Hawaiian. The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase then came out and entered the ring. Cackling evilly, DiBiase took out two wads of cash from his custom-made suit and handed one each to Manuel and Victor. Lawler then handed the mic to DiBiase, who said that Crush had just experienced what happens when you refuse an offer from the Million Dollar Man! During the break, Crush was helped to the back by referees and was experiencing considerable discomfort in his ribs. Backstage, Sean Mooney conducted an interview with Big Van Vader and Harley Race. Race claimed that nobody in the WWF Title tournament is hungrier than Big Van Vader and nobody is willing to go as far as Vader is to take it all. The segment was interrupted when a stagehand delivered a wreath to Vader. This sent the mastodon into a rage! Vader punched out the hapless youngster, before tearing the wreath apart and throwing it against the wall! Vader began smashing everything in his path as Harley Race tried desperately to calm him down! Lex Luger entered the arena and joined his tag team partners in the ring to the usual frosty reception. The Narcissist carried a large object down to the square circle with him, which soon transpired to be a car battery! Luger took the mic, held up the car battery and slyly said he had heard that Randy Savage had experienced some problems getting to the show tonight! Luger claimed that with Savage out of the picture, Tatanka and Marty Jannetty would have to come out and face the three of them! WWF President Jack Tunney then appeared to ruin Luger's plans. Tunney said he had found a replacement for Randy Savage - none other than Luger's old rival, Mr. Perfect! The trio of Perfect, Jannetty and Tatanka all then ran down to the ring and the six man tag was on!! Bam Bam Bigelow, Lex Luger and Shawn Michaels defeated Marty Jannetty, Mr. Perfect and Tatanka when L. Luger defeated M. Jannetty by disqualification in 0:13:57. Rating: * 1/2 [Randy Savage interfered against Lex Luger.] (Randy Savage no-showed.) This tag team match soon broke down and the official lost all control as all six men began brawling. In the midst of the melee, Lex Luger crotched Marty Jannetty on the top rope and lifted him off the turnbuckles into the torture rack!! As Luger began to wrench Jannetty's back, the crowd exploded as Randy Savage sprinted down the aisle!! The Macho Man swiped the car battery from ringside, rolled into the ring and jammed the battery into Luger's midsection!! The referee immediately called for the bell as Savage attacked Luger with a succession of kicks and punches! Shawn Michaels and Bam Bam Bigelow dragged Randy Savage off Lex Luger and began to beat him down, which drew Mr. Perfect and Tatanka back into the ring and the brawl continued. Adam Bomb then made his way out to help his stablemate Bigelow and also get some shots in on his King of the Ring first round opponent, Mr. Perfect. Big Boss Man joined the fray in an attempt to restore order, but he was jumped by his opponent on Sunday, Jeff Jarrett! The crowd were loving the action as the timekeeper rang the bell hopelessly. Then, Big Van Vader - still ballistic after being sent a wreath by the Undertaker - made his way out to cause further destruction. Vader began decimating any superstar that got in his path until suddenly the mastodon stopped dead in his tracks as a solitary gong rang out around the arena! That signalled an appearance from the Undertaker, who marched methodically out towards the ring. The brawl soon broke out again until only The Undertaker and Big Van Vader were left in the squared circle. While Vince McMahon frantically called for more help to restore order, The Undertaker dropped Vader with a giant choke slam to close out the show!! Circuit information: This final edition of Monday Night RAW before Sunday's King of the Ring ended in absolute chaos! The show closed with an out of control, ten man brawl featuring participants in the WWF Title tournament. Tensions are running high with so much up for grabs this Sunday and it all came to a head in the ring after our main event tonight! Crush should be ready to go this Sunday after he was checked out by doctors following the brutal attack by the Arabian Butchers. Ted DiBiase paid off the twins to do a number on Crush tonight. The Million Dollar Man is used to splashing the cash to get whatever he wants and he seems to be willing to do the same to land the WWF Championship, a title that has eluded him for years. Scott Steiner shocked everybody watching tonight as he returned to competition with Tammy Fytch as his manager. Steiner ended up victorious in the 20 man battle royal and earns the final spot in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. But why would Steiner put his promising career in the hands of somebody as unproven as Tammy Fytch? Steiner certainly had no shortage of suitors willing to take him on but it was the company's rookie manager who was able to seal the deal. Fytch had called a press conference for this weekend on Superstars to officially announce the signing of Scott Steiner. Duke Droese will defend his Hardcore Title this weekend on Superstars against Big Bully Busick. Tonight, Busick got the upper hand on the garbageman when he eliminated Droese from the battle royal. This was the Natural Disasters last night with the company. We wish Earthquake and Typhoon the best in their future endeavours. As mentioned, the WWF King of the Ring is this Sunday night, live on pay-per-view from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland! Let's run down the finalised card. King of the Ring tournament - winner becomes the new WWF Champion! Two months ago, Bret "Hitman" Hart vacated the WWF Championship due to a serious knee injury suffered in a match with Bad News Brown. This Sunday at the King of the Ring, a one-night single-elimination tournament will be held to determine the new WWF Champion. This tournament features the best of the best, the cream of the crop in the World Wrestling Federation, but which WWF Superstar will walk out of Baltimore with the title? Here is the line up for the tournament: WWF World Tag Team Championship** The British Bulldogs dropped the titles at WrestleMania X in the company's first ever triple threat match, a bout which the Hollywood Blonds ended up walking out of as the new champions. Since then, the Bulldogs won a four team tournament to earn this shot at the gold. The animosity between these two teams has grown after the Bulldogs were named the top contenders and quite a rivalry has developed. Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid are out to capture the titles for a record fourth time and prove they are the top dogs in the tag team division, but Steve Austin and Brian Pillman are not about to let their time as champions end just yet.
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/30/10 at 14:53:29 WWF Superstars June 18th, 1994 Erie, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Superstars began with the arena going pitch black. Suddenly, a spotlight shone in the centre of the ring, illuminating the newest member of the WWF roster, grungy heavy metal guitarist Man Mountain Rock! Rock proceeded to rock the house, playing his entrance music on a large electric guitar shaped like the WWF logo while pyro burst off in the background. Man Mountain Rock pinned Corey Student after the Wallapalooza in 0:04:15. Rating: DUD Man Mountain Rock demonstrated some accomplished amateur wrestling skills during his WWF debut, as well as some devastating power manoeuvres. Rock scored a debut win when he put away Corey Student with a gourdbuster. Moon Lightning (Max Moon and Lightning Kid) defeated The Executioners (Executioner #1 and Executioner #2) when Kid pinned Executioner #2 after the Lightning Strikes Twice in 0:06:17. Rating: *** WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds cut a promo on the British Bulldogs ahead of their title match at the King of the Ring. Steve Austin said they would show the Dynamite "Kid" and Davey "Boy" Smith who the real men are in the tag team division, while Brian Pillman vowed to send the Bulldogs home with their tails between their legs. Gene Okerlund was on location in Massachusetts, outside the mansion of Tammy Fytch. Okerlund revealed that he was there for the press conference and knocked on the door. Fytch answered, dressed in a robe, and chastised Okerlund for being late. Fytch said that they were having the press conference by the pool and hurried Okerlund into the house. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Emilio Ulcia and John Paul when Luca pinned J. Paul after the Podium Finish in 0:05:54. Rating: 1/2* The Swiss Bobsleigh Team were victorious in their very first outing in a WWF ring. During the bout, Lars sat behind his Emilio Ulcia on the mat, locked in a bodyscissors and swung Ulcia from side to side, mimicking turning corners on a bobsleigh track! Lars and Luca picked up the win with their double team finisher, an elevated running hip attack, termed the Podium Finish. After the bout, Lars and Luca - along with Alundra - celebrated their win with a lap of honour around the ring. Back in Massachusetts, Gene Okerlund was poolside with Tammy Fytch. Fytch complained that ever since she joined the World Wrestling Federation, bad things had been said about her and people have been knocking her. Fytch noted that Hillary Clinton's first 100 days were like that too. Fytch said that nobody could knock her anymore as she had signed the hottest free agent in the industry. Fytch then brought out Scott Steiner. Steiner stated that he had been a great tag team wrestler, but now he was sick of carrying other people and wants all the glory for himself. Steiner proclaimed himself to be the top dog in the WWF and, while Fytch massaged his neck, Steiner said that the WWF Title is coming to the "Superstar". Okerlund asked Steiner why he would sign with somebody like Tammy Fytch and Steiner replied that it was because Fytch knows exactly how to take care of a man. Scott Steiner departed the scene, while Tammy Fytch remarked how cute he is and said that she can't wait to show him off to the girls at Wellesley. Fytch added that when you do a few favours for a man, they'll do anything you tell them to do. Fytch promised more new faces in Fytch Wrestling Enterprises over the coming weeks. Gene Okerlund put over Scott Steiner as an incredible athelete, a man in his physical prime, and wondered how Fytch could control him. Fytch removed her robe - flaunting her toned body in a bikini - and claimed that she doesn't have problems controlling any man. No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Duke Droese pinned Big Bully Busick with the Trash Compactor in 0:09:16. Rating: * 1/4 (Duke Droese retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Duke Droese.] Duke Droese retained his Hardcore Title against Big Bully Busick in a brutal match, but the championship did seem to be slipping away from the garbageman on a number of occasions. Busick went after Droese's knee, hitting him with several wicked kendo stick shots. Busick also used a belly-to-back suplex in the aisle for a near fall. In the end, Harvey Wippleman ordered Busick to hold Droese in place while Wippleman tried to strike the garbageman with his own trash can. However, Droese dodged the blow and Wippleman knocked Busick silly with the trash can! Wippleman could only look on as Droese drilled Busick with the Trash Compactor for the victory! While Duke Droese celebrated, Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler previewed the King of the Ring card one final time. Lawler confidently predicted that Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase would take the vacant WWF Championship, while McMahon said he had a feeling that Macho Man Randy Savage would shock the world and capture his third WWF Title!! Circuit information: Some new faces debuted tonight on WWF Superstars and we have been reliably informed that we can expect to see several more additions to the roster over the coming weeks. Heavy metal powerhouse Man Mountain Rock was victorious in his WWF introduction, as were the athletically gifted Swiss Bobsleigh Team, Lars and Luca. The tag team division is set to undergo a major overhaul soon and the Swiss Bobsleighers could play an important part. Their over-the-top celebrations after winning tonight were comical though - it was as if they had won a gold medal! In her poolside press conference today, Tammy Fytch promised new acquisitions for her stable which she has christened Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Fytch shocked WWF fans all around the world by signing Scott Steiner - who else is set to fall under her charm? The waiting is almost over - the WWF King of the Ring is live tomorrow night on pay-per-view from the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland!! Let's run down the finalised card. King of the Ring tournament - winner becomes the new WWF Champion!

JoshiQ	Posted on 06/01/10 at 22:34:06 You're doing a good job of bringing in some of my favorites. I use to be a huge fan of Maxx Payne (Man Mountain Rock). Hopefully he ends up doing something worthwhile. The Swiss team had me cracking up, and I love the body scissors into a pretending to set a bobsleigh up to go down the chute. And Fytch and Steiner are definitely a great match. Great booking, and I am dying for the KOTR.
Grappler	Posted on 06/02/10 at 15:58:00 I'm with Jerry Lawler on this one....my money is on the Million Dollar Man emerging as the champ (and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bad News Brown involved somehow in the tourney as a spoiler.) Anyway, I cannot wait to see how it all plays out. ;D
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/06/10 at 22:00:36 WWF KING OF THE RING 1994 June 19th, 1994 Baltimore Arena, Baltimore, MD Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The pay-per-view began with a video package hyping up tonight's sixteen man King of the Ring tournament which will determine a new WWF Champion. Howard Finkel started the show by introducing retired football player Art Donovan to the 12,000 capacity crowd. Donovan was set to be one of the commentators for the evening but as he waved to the fans from the ring, Big Van Vader made his entrance for the opening match. Donovan offered a handshake to Vader, but the mastodon attacked Donovan with a barrage of hard slaps! With Donovan cornered, Vader squashed him with an avalanche in the corner and then drilled him with a Vader Bomb! Harley Race kicked Art Donovan's lifeless body to the outside while Big Van Vader waited for the Undertaker! [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Big Van Vader defeated The Undertaker by countout in 0:07:14. Rating: [Harley Race interfered against The Undertaker.] This was an extremely heated battle between two of the top contenders to win the whole tournament. The Undertaker scored with a beautiful flying clothesline which sent Big Van Vader to the outside for some respite. 'Taker followed him outside though and the two men brawled on the floor while their respective managers bickered. Vader dropped the Deadman with a belly-to-belly suplex on the floor and then crushed Undertaker against the ringpost with two avalanches. The mastodon went for a third but 'Taker moved and Vader ate the post, knocking himself silly. It was now a race to beat the referee's count back in as Harley Race suddenly sneaked under the ring. As the official's count reached eight, Vader dragged himself back under the bottom rope. Undertaker was just about back in the ring as well as the fans implored him to get a move on. However, Harley Race reached out from under the ring apron and grabbed hold of 'Taker's foot, preventing him from returning to the squared circle!! The referee then counted Undertaker out - Harley Race had robbed the Deadman of his chance of becoming the next WWF Champion!! After the match, the devious Harley Race celebrated at ringside. The Undertaker reached down, grabbed Race by the back of his jacket and dragged him into the ring! 'Taker choked out Race in the corner but Vader made the save for his manager, striking the Deadman across the back with a steel chair! Vader laid out The Undertaker with two more hard chair shots and left with Harley Race in tow. Paul Bearer used the power of the urn to get The Undertaker back to his feet and they exited the arena to a standing ovation. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Jeff Jarrett and Big Boss Man battled to a double disqualification in 0:07:00. Rating: 3/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Big Boss Man.] Jeff Jarrett wore Big Boss Man down by repeatedly going back to a sleeperhold, but Boss Man finally managed to break it with a jawbreaker. Boss Man hit a desperation spinebuster out of nowhere and both men were sprawled out on the canvas as the official made his count. Jarrett slowly crawled over to his corner and took possession of his acoustic guitar. Boss Man saw that Double J had a weapon and quickly rolled over and took his nightstick! The two superstars squared off in the centre of the ring armed with their weapons, but before anything could occur the referee controversially disqualified both men! Jeff Jarrett quickly dropped his guitar and protested his innocence to the official, but he wasn't interested. Big Boss Man then tried to plead his case, but Jarrett then decided to take his frustrations out on the former corrections officer and clipped him in the back of the knee! Tennessee Lee joined Double J in doing a number on the Boss Man. Jarrett instructed Lee to hold the Boss Man in place for a guitar shot but Kevin Kelly quickly sprinted in, shoved Boss Man out of the way and absorbed the blow himself!! Boss Man ran off Jarrett and Tennessee Lee with the nightstick, before turning his attention to Kelly. Boss Man dragged Kelly up out of the remnants of the guitar and helped him to the back. As a result of this draw, Jeff Jarrett and the Big Boss Man are both eliminated from the tournament and Big Van Vader receives a bye to the semi finals. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Tatanka pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a flying cross body press in 0:09:14. Rating: * [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Tatanka.] These old foes know each other so well and were able to counter each other's big moves. Bam Bam Bigelow used his strength to hoist up Tatanka in a painful torture rack, while later Tatanka scored with a DDT. The finish came when Tatanka rolled out of the way of Bigelow's flying headbutt, then connected with a beautiful flying cross body press to book his place in the quarter finals. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Mr. Perfect pinned Adam Bomb after a sunset flip in 0:06:45. Rating: * 1/4 After a brawl outside the ring, Adam Bomb took over with a beautiful powerslam on Mr. Perfect. Bomb worked over Perfect's back with a backbreaker and a sidewalk slam, setting up eventually for the Atom Smasher. When Bomb finally went for his trademark move, Perfect countered with a sunset flip and managed to keep Bomb's shoulders down for the three count! Crush came out for his first round match with Ted DiBiase in some discomfort, clearly showing the effects of the beatdown he suffered at the hands of the Arabian Butchers on Monday Night RAW. This was an attack bought and paid for by the Million Dollar Man. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Crush pinned Ted DiBiase after the Hawaiian Smasher in 0:07:52. Rating: * 1/2 [Barry Windham interfered against Crush.] Ted DiBiase focused his assault squarely on Crush's injured stomach, making it difficult for the big Hawaiian to breathe. Crush appeared to be fading fast when DiBiase locked on the Million Dollar Dream but with the crowd firmly behind him, Crush broke the hold by backing the Million Dollar Man repeatedly into the turnbuckles! Crush blocked the Million Dollar Buster and then planted DiBiase with the Hawaiian Smasher for the very popular three count! Howard Finkel barely got a chance to announce Crush as the winner because Barry Windham hit the ring and jumped Crush from behind! The Widowmaker put a real beating on Crush, kneeing him repeatedly in his injured midsection and then applying the clawhold. DiBiase stuffed a $100 bill in Crush's mouth and left with Windham. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Shawn Michaels pinned Marty Jannetty after the Piledriver in 0:08:28. Rating: 1/4 The finish in this clash of former tag team partners - the pick of the first round matches - came when Marty Jannetty ascended the turnbuckles and went for a flying fistdrop on Shawn Michaels. However, before Jannetty could deliver the blow, Liz climbed up onto the apron and grabbed Jannetty's leg! Jannetty managed to kick her back down to the floor but this gave Michaels enough time to recover and sprint up to the top turnbuckle with Jannetty! Michaels sent Jannetty crashing down to the mat with an armdrag off the top rope and then put Jannetty away with a piledriver. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Randy Savage pinned Lex Luger with an inside cradle in 0:06:24. Lex Luger suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 9 months. Rating: * 1/4 The treacherous Lex Luger tried to take a shortcut to the win by removing the top turnbuckle pad, but it was all a plan designed to distract the official. As the referee replaced the turnbuckle, The Narcissist removed his protective padding from his forearm and measured Randy Savage for a clubbing blow. Luger charged at Savage in the corner, but the Macho Man ducked out of the way and rolled up Luger for the three count! Before the next match, Tammy Fytch took the mic and goaded Razor Ramon to put his Intercontinental Title on the line in this first round match with Scott Steiner. Fytch thought Ramon was yellow and claimed that this was the reason that she refused to manage the Bad Guy! Ramon handed his Intercontinental Title belt over to the official and told him to ring the bell. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round]: Scott Steiner defeated Razor Ramon by countout in 0:08:30. Rating: * (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] This extremely intense battle ended up spilling out to the floor, where Razor Ramon was able to reverse an Irish whip into the steel steps. Ramon went for the Razor's Edge on the floor but as Tammy Fytch distracted the referee, Scott Steiner countered with a low blow! Steiner then drilled Ramon with a vicious tiger driver at ringside! Steiner rolled back into the ring as the referee counted the Bad Guy out. Tammy Fytch snatched the Intercontinental Title belt out of the official's hands and gave it to Scott Steiner, who was overjoyed with his victory. Howard Finkel announced Steiner as the winner, but also noted that titles cannot change hands on a count out so Ramon remains the champion. Steiner and Fytch were livid! A groggy Ramon pulled himself up onto the ring apron, but Steiner then knocked him back to the floor with a nasty looking belt shot!! Steiner left the ring and threw the title belt at Ramon, before leaving with Fytch to a chorus of boos. After the end of the first round, here's how the quarter final line-up looks: Big Van Vader gets a bye to the semi finals Tatanka vs Mr. Perfect Crush vs Shawn Michaels Randy Savage vs Scott Steiner [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Quarter Final]: Tatanka pinned Mr. Perfect after a small package in 0:10:03. Rating: 3/4 The crowd was split down the middle in their support for each of these popular fan favourites. Tatanka missed a charge into the corner and Mr. Perfect took the disorientated Native American down with a leaping neckbreaker. Perfect covered while the referee counted to three but as Perfect celebrated, the official noticed that Tatanka's foot was draped over the bottom rope! The referee acknowledged his error and order the bout to continue, leaving Perfect in disbelief. As Perfect went after Tatanka, the Native American surprised him with a small package for the pin! Tatanka briefly celebrated his victory and then left to prepare for his semi final showdown with Big Van Vader. A heated Mr. Perfect argued with the official, before decking the referee and leaving to a mixed reception. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Quarter Final]: Shawn Michaels pinned Crush after a superkick in 0:09:55. Rating: ** 1/4 [Liz interfered against Crush.] Crush shook off the effects of the beating he suffered at the hands of Barry Windham to dominate this quarter final with Shawn Michaels. Crush had things in control, dropping the Heartbreak Kid with three consecutive clotheslines and signalling for the Cranium Crunch. That's when Liz decided to interject herself into the contest. As she entered the ring, Liz appeared to go over on her ankle. Crush was distracted as the official helped Liz back to her feet. Michaels then connected with a superkick to the back of Crush's skull, just as Liz made a miraculous recovery from her "injury". The referee recorded the three count, sending Michaels into the semi finals. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Quarter Final]: Randy Savage pinned Scott Steiner after a rolling reverse cradle in 0:08:10. Rating: * 1/2 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Randy Savage.] Scott Steiner used his awesome strength to throw around Randy Savage with little effort. Steiner's performances tonight were forcing a lot of mat observers to sit up and take note - he was certainly making the transition to the singles division with ease. Steiner rolled up Savage and grabbed the rope for extra leverage. The official counted two but noticed Steiner cheating and forced him to break the pin. Steiner and Fytch argued with the official, but as Steiner turned his attention back to Savage he was caught in a roll up for the three count! Ironically, the Macho Man grabbed a handful of tights to assist in keeping Steiner's shoulders down!! This result did not sit well with Scott Steiner or Tammy Fytch. While Fytch lambasted the official for his poor call, Steiner dropped Randy Savage with a vicious Steinerline. Fytch handed Steiner a steel chair and prepared to bash the Macho Man's brains in. However, Razor Ramon then ran in, brandishing a chair of his own! Steiner thought better of the situation, throwing his own chair down and rolling out of the ring. Fytch and Steiner retreated to the back, cursing the Bad Guy all the way. Ramon raised Savage's hand in triumph to a nice ovation. The semi final line up looks like this: Big Van Vader vs Tatanka Shawn Michaels vs Randy Savage Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed Tatanka ahead of his semi final showdown with a rested Big Van Vader. Mr. Perfect wandered by, causing Tatanka to stop the interview and talk to Perfect. Tatanka acknowledged the bad call by the referee in their match and expressed his sorrow that their contest ended sourly. The Native American hoped there was no hard feelings and extended his hand. Perfect stared a hole through Tatanka and walked off. Okerlund called after Perfect, shocked that he wasn't even going to wish Tatanka luck in his match with Vader. Perfect wasn't listening and left the arena. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Semi Final]: Big Van Vader pinned Tatanka after a power bomb in 0:07:10. Rating: * 1/4 Tatanka came out like a house of fire, overwhelming Big Van Vader with running clotheslines, chops and punches. The Native American even managed to get Vader up for a Samoan drop! Tatanka missed a flying splash in the corner and hit the ringpost, allowing Vader to finish the job with a power bomb. Big Van Vader is in the final, leaving Tatanka to rue that miscalculation which cost him dearly. [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Semi Final]: Randy Savage pinned Shawn Michaels with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:14:58. Rating: [Liz interfered against Randy Savage.] These two bitter rivals picked up where they left off at WrestleMania, pulling out all the stops in this gripping battle. Randy Savage appeared to suffer an injury when he missed a flying axhandle onto Shawn Michaels at ringside after Liz had pulled her man out of harm's way. Savage collided hard with the steel guardrail and immediately began favouring his chest. While the referee admonished Liz, Michaels pulled the ringsteps away from the corner of the ring and dropped Savage chest-first onto them! The Heartbreak Kid worked over the Macho Man's ribs but couldn't put Savage away. Liz climbed up onto the ring apron to remonstrate with the official but Savage ran Michaels into Liz - knocking her to the floor - and rolled HBK up! However, the referee attended to Liz, while Michaels gouged Savage in the eyes and brought a steel chair into the ring. Michaels tried to cave Savage's head in with the chair but Savage dodged the blow. Michaels connected with the top rope, the impact of which brought the chair back into Michaels' face! With the Heartbreak Kid knocked out, the Macho Man scaled the turnbuckles and connected with the flying elbow to advance to the final! The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) when Pillman pinned Davey Boy after a faceslam in 0:12:03. Rating: * 1/2 (The Hollywood Blonds retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The Hollywood Blonds got the heat on Davey Boy Smith during this Tag Team Title Match, working over his left arm. Steve Austin and Brian Pillman attempted to put the challengers away with the Air Blonds, but the Bulldogs got their knees up. The British Bulldogs then began to take control. Dynamite Kid laid out Austin with a snap suplex and went to deliver the Diving Dynamite Headbutt. However, as Dynamite Kid balanced himself on the top turnbuckle, Davey Boy Smith clotheslined Pillman out of which, the impact of which caused Dynamite to crotch himself on the top rope! Davey Boy Smith went to help his partner, but Austin clotheslined him from behind and then knocked Dynamite down to ringside. With the official distracted, Brian Pillman sneaked back into the ring armed with one of the Tag Team Title belts. Pillman drove Davey Boy headfirst into the belt and then covered for the three count. After the match, The British Bulldogs had words over the outcome of the bout. Dynamite Kid appeared to be laying the blame at Davey Boy Smith's door and walked out on his partner. Backstage, the doctors were taping up Randy Savage's ribs following his punishing win over Shawn Michaels. Jim Ross conducted an interview via satellite with former WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart, who was convalescing at home in Calgary. Hart said that either Big Van Vader or Randy Savage would be a worthy WWF Champion and said he was looking forward to a great final. The Hitman added that whoever wins the title shouldn't get too comfortable with it, because he would return soon to take it back! [WWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament Final]: Match for the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Title: Big Van Vader pinned Randy Savage after the Vader Bomb in 0:08:14. Rating: * 1/4 (Big Van Vader won the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race interfered against Randy Savage.] Randy Savage did a good job sticking and moving in the opening exchanges of this tournament final, keeping Big Van Vader away from his injured ribs. The Macho Man led Vader on a footrace outside the ring, where the mastodon missed a charge into the railing. Interference from Harley Race turned the tide and began to quiet the rabid crowd. Vader slowly and methodically went to work on Savage's ribs with his super-stiff offence. Vader got a two count off a powerslam but missed a splash, allowing Savage to retaliate with punches. Vader shrugged off the blows and almost knocked the Macho Man's head off with a lariat. Savage's eye swelled up from hard strikes in the corner. Vader continued the beating with a superplex and crushed Savage with an avalanche. Vader missed a moonsault however and with the crowd firmly behind him, the Macho Man began to get his second wind. Savage pushed himself through the pain barrier to deliver three flying axhandles, the third of which took Vader off his feet! The fans were at fever pitch as Savage connected with the flying elbow, but Vader kicked out at two with authority!! Undeterred, Savage went for a high cross body, but Vader caught him and flattened the Macho Man with a front slam. One Vader Bomb later and we had a new WWF Champion!! While Randy Savage rolled around on the mat clutching his ribs in agony, the official handed the WWF Championship to Big Van Vader. Vader snatched the title belt from the referee and then pie-faced him to the mat. With Harley Race looking on with delight, Vader raised the WWF Title aloft in victory while Jim Ross feared for the future of the company with Big Van Vader as WWF Champion! Card rating: * 3/4 Circuit information: The smoke has cleared and the dust has settled at the 1994 King of the Ring and the last man left standing is your new WWF Champion - Big Van Vader. Vader, who overcame an injured Randy Savage in the final, controversially defeated the Undertaker in round one and enjoyed a bye to the semi finals, where he rolled over Tatanka. Vader's route to the final was comparatively straightforward compared to the run Macho Man had to endure. Savage got past Lex Luger in the first round, edged past the impressive Scott Steiner in the quarters and defeated hated rival Shawn Michaels in a stunning semi final encounter. How would a fresh Randy Savage have fared against Vader in the final? Hopefully that question will be answered soon. Big Van Vader's coronation as new King of the Ring will take place tomorrow night on Monday Night RAW. One of the stories of the night was the showing by Scott Steiner, under the guidance of Tammy Fytch. Steiner defeated the Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon - albeit by count out - before suffering a narrow loss to former WWF Champion Randy Savage. Many fans were questioning Steiner's decision to hook up with Fytch, but if these are the sort of performances the vivacious vixen can get out of Steiner they'll be forced to eat their words. After Mr. Perfect had time to cool off after the event, he was apologetic for his actions following his bout with Tatanka. Perfect punched out referee Mike Chioda after what Perfect was on the receiving end of what he perceived to be the wrong decision. Perfect will be fined for his assault on the official. There is a situation developing between Crush and the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, along with his bodyguard Barry Windham. Windham attacked Crush following the Hawaiian's victory over DiBiase and Crush is keen to exact retribution. The British Bulldogs sat down after the show and straightened out whatever problems they had during tonight's bout. They immediately asked WWF President Jack Tunney for a rematch with the Hollywood Blonds for the titles and we can exclusively reveal that their requested was granted. This match will take place this coming week on WWF Superstars. The Blonds only agreed to put the titles on the line again with the proviso that this will be the last shot the Bulldogs get at the straps as long as Brian Pillman and Steve Austin hold the gold. Lex Luger suffered a severely sprained neck during his first round match with Macho Man Randy Savage. Luger will undergo an examination on Monday and if surgery is deemed necessary, he will spend the rest of 1994 on the sidelines. Sensational Sherri was released from her contract this morning. We wish her the best in all future endeavours. Thanks for joining us tonight for the King of the Ring! We hope you'll tune in again tomorrow night for Monday Night RAW, where we'll crown WWF Champion Big Van Vader as the new King of the Ring! So long everybody!
LillaThrilla	Posted on 06/06/10 at 22:16:58 Woohoo! Awesome KotR! HBK wins with "the Piledriver" instead of "a piledriver"? Que? I think the Bulldogs are done for. I suspect their rematch with the Blondes will involve the end of the team and Dynamite's departure from WWF. Didn't Luger get seriously hurt around this time last year? Nice job setting up more fueds for the future. Steiner-Razor over the IC title should be good and I suspect we haven't seen the last of Vader-Undertaker. Vader will be a good monster heel champion for you.

Yes, Luger injured his back in last year's tournament final. How creepy is that?! Not Luger's luckiest event.

If he's the Heart Break Kid it could be the Head Break Driver...but while logical that sounds really stupid now that I type it. Might just call it the Texas Piledriver; it's another name for a regular piledriver and Michaels is from Texas.

Grappler	Posted on 06/08/10 at 16:49:42 Awesome card but did Art Donovan get to ask how much Vader weighed before they carted him off? ;D It seems that some of your top tag teams are breaking up (The Steiners, British Bulldogs) and the division is getting thin. How about reuniting the Rockers as a heel team with some of the attitude that DX had. Just a thought.... As for a name for the Shawn's piledriver....how about just calling it the Heartbreaker? (Even though its more of a headbreaker.)
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/21/10 at 23:33:04 Monday Night RAW June 20th, 1994 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with stills featuring action from last night's long awaited King of the Ring pay-per-view, where Big Van Vader captured the vacant WWF Championship by winning the sixteen man tournament. Vader will be crowned the new King of the Ring on tonight's show. Owen Hart pinned Terra Ryzing with the Rocket Launcher in 0:04:08. Rating: * 1/2 Owen Hart picked up a quick win with the Rocket Launcher, but he was given no chance to enjoy his victory. Great Muta, in his first appearance since being sidelined with a quadricep injury, hit the scene and sprayed green mist into Owen's face! Muta decked the blinded Rocket with a sidekick, before picking him up and sending Owen shoulder-first into the ringpost. Muta hit a backbreaker and then connected with his picture-perfect moonsault! The fans' attention turned to the entrance way, where a man dressed in a mob style business suit was walking down the aisle. The man - identified by Vince McMahon as Gary Hart - was accompanied by an Asian woman and also the Arabian Butchers, Manuel and Victor. Gary Hart entered the ring with his entourage and took the mic. The Butchers lifted up Owen's limp carcass and dumped him over the top rope. Hart presented himself to the audience as a recruiter of international talent for the World Wrestling Federation and introduced his new stable of Great Muta, the Arabian Butchers and the mysterious Korean woman Kimona as Black Friday Management. The show went to a commercial break with Mr. Fuji walking down the aisle demanding an explanation from his former charges! Monday Night RAW returned with the shocking scenes of Mr. Fuji being stretchered out of the arena! Footage aired from during the commercials of Fuji confronting Gary Hart, before he was attacked by the Arabian Butchers! The Butchers laid him out with a double spinebuster, followed by the Meat Cleaver!! With Fuji now departed, Gary Hart continued his monologue. Hart said that Black Friday Management manages and promotes the highest quality professional championship wrestling grapplers worldwide - and they do it their way on their terms. Hart coldly warned that if Black Friday Management wants in your promotion, there's no stopping them - they'll be making money and running the game within the company before those who oppose have a chance to counter. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Big Boss Man and Kevin Kelly. Boss Man said that he was willing to accept that Kevin Kelly is a changed man after Kelly took a bullet for him last night when he shoved Boss Man out of the way of Jeff Jarrett's guitar shot. Kelly vowed to make Double J pay tonight when they face Jarrett and Repo Man. Vince McMahon revealed that Repo Man stepped up and volunteered to be Jeff Jarrett's partner tonight in the upcoming tag team match. Repo is out to avenge recent losses in singles competition to Big Boss Man and Kevin Kelly. Jeff Jarrett and Repo Man defeated Big Boss Man and Kevin Kelly when J. Jarrett pinned K. Kelly after a DDT in 0:06:55. Rating: ** 1/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Kevin Kelly.] Big Boss Man and Kevin Kelly worked quite well together in their first outing as a unit. Kelly tried to put away Jeff Jarrett with a sleeper, but Tennessee Lee got up on the apron to distract him. Kelly released Double J and dragged Lee into the ring. Kelly set up Lee for the Word of Honor, but Jarrett grabbed his own partner Repo Man and threw him into Kelly, saving his manager. Jarrett then capitalised with a DDT on Kelly for the three count! Promos hyping the WWF World Tag Team match on Superstars between the Hollywood Blonds and the British Bulldogs were shown. If the Bulldogs fail to win the titles, they will not receive another shot at the gold as long as the Blonds are champions. The Bulldogs claimed that they were more focused than ever on regaining the gold and would put the disappointment of the King of the Ring behind them. Steve Austin and Brian Pillman cockily stated that it was boring beating the Bulldogs over and over again. The champions implied that they may get themselves intentionally disqualified or counted out in order to save their titles. Scott Steiner pinned Nick Barberri with the SSD in 0:03:32. Rating: * 3/4 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Nick Barberri.] Scott Steiner decimated poor Nick Barberri in another strong showing, picking up where he left off at the King of the Ring. Steiner dropped Barberri right on his head with the Steiner Screwdriver, which resulted in Barberri being helped to the back after the match. After the bout, Tammy Fytch took the mic and claimed that Scott Steiner should have the Intercontinental Championship around his waist right now. Fytch correctly stated that Steiner defeated champion Razor Ramon last night (albeit by count-out) and alleged that the Bad Guy was running scared of her man Steiner. A truck was shown pulling up and down the highway. The voiceover talked about spending enough time on the roads that you get to know them. You know the other drivers, know how tough they are, know that you are the baddest trucker the world has ever seen. So you think to yourself, where is the place where a mean, vicious trucker like myself can do the most damage? The WWF. I'm coming, in just a few weeks. Mack McCall is going to show you just what a trucker can do. Gene Okerlund introduced new WWF Champion Big Van Vader, along with his manager Harley Race, for the coronation ceremony. There was a throne in the ring, along with a crown, a sceptre and a robe. The crowd was booing Vader hard as he entered the ring. Vader threw the throne out of the ring and tore the robe to shreds, before intimidating Okerlund. Race snatched the mic, looked at his watch and said that it was officially Vader Time! Race said that Vader will be the most dominant champion in WWF history and there is nobody in the locker room that can do anything about it. Just then, Randy Savage emerged gingerly from the back, still favouring his ribs from the beating he took during the course of the King of the Ring tournament. Savage said that he and Vader were on the road to disaster. Savage admitted that Vader got the better of him last night, but said that the next time they meet things would be different and he would unleash the madness on Big Van Vader! Harley Race cut in and said that if the Macho Man wants a shot at Vader's title, then let's do it next week!! The crowd voiced their approval, but Okerlund was concerned about Savage's injured ribs and said they should postpone this bout until the Macho Man is fully healed. Race laughed and said that if Savage was any kind of a man, he wouldn't let a sore rib stand in his way of a chance of capturing the WWF Championship! To Okerlund's chagrin, Savage took the mic and quickly accepted Race's challenge for next week! Savage vowed to be Vader's worst nightmare! As Savage acknowledged the cheers of the fans, Big Van Vader took the sceptre and jammed it into the Macho Man's injured ribcage! Vader and Race left Savage a crumpled heap in the centre of the ring, while Race gloated that he was looking forward to seeing the Macho Man next week. Circuit information: It is feared that Macho Man Randy Savage suffered cracked ribs last night at the King of the Ring, but this is just speculation at this juncture. Savage has refused medical attention since last night's event ended for fear of being sidelined. The Macho Man is determined to capture the WWF Championship for a third time and will get that opportunity when he faces the Mastodon Big Van Vader on next week's show. WWF President Jack Tunney was reluctant to sign the bout due to Savage's condition, but the Macho Man is desperate for the match and has really given Tunney no choice. You can bet that Vader will go after Savage's injury like a shark that smells blood, just like he did last night. But if anybody can defy the odds, it's Randy Savage. Savage would love to be the one to bring Vader's WWF Championship run to a premature end, while Vader would relish the opportunity of ending the Macho Man's glittering career. Gary Hart has brought Black Friday Management to the World Wrestling Federation and this mysterious entity claimed two victims tonight in Owen Hart and Mr. Fuji. Little is known about Black Friday Management, but we do understand that Gary Hart has been granted promoting and managerial licenses for activity in the WWF. Hart is an ice cold cerebral businessman who ruthlessly stole Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers from under the nose of Mr. Fuji and if you can outfox the sneaky Fuji, then you have got to be a dangerous guy. What have Hart and Black Friday got planned next? On the subject of the Great Muta, he returned to action tonight after a six-month long layoff with a torn right quadricep. Quite why he targeted Owen Hart is unclear, but the two men do have some history dating back to late 1993 when the Rocket prevented Muta from interfering in a steel cage match between Bret Hart and Yokozuna. Mr. Fuji has been released from his contract. We wish Fuji the best in all future endeavours. An MRI exam and further testing determined the full extent of the damage to Lex Luger's neck suffered at the King of the Ring. It was found that Luger will need surgery to repair two broken vertebrae and the recovery time will be at least nine months before The Narcissist can return to the ring. This week on WWF Superstars, the WWF Tag Team Titles are on the line as The Hollywood Blonds defend against the British Bulldogs in a rematch from the King of the Ring. Remember, if Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith fail to capture the straps, they won't receive a shot at the titles so long as the Blonds are champs. Make sure you tune in this weekend! Till then, so long everybody!!
JoshiQ	Posted on 06/22/10 at 00:24:30 As much I want Savage to take the title, I doubt it happens this quickly. It should be interesting seeing you book a heel champion. You have some good challengers in Savage, Undertaker, and Crush. Mack McCall? I'll take a wild guess and say Henry Godwinn? I hope Scott Steiner gets the push he deserves. He'd make a great IC Champ at this point. Good stuff, especially the Gary Hart stuff, looking forward to seeing how all this plays out. Bad News Brown should be returning soon too. Oh, if you're using Kimona Wanalaya wouldn't she be like 15-16 in 1994? :)

I thought there was a pretty big deal back in the day when she did a strip tease in the ECW in '95-'96 that she wasn't 18 yet, but it was later revealed she had just turned 18 a couple months before. Guess that was just typical wrestling rumor crap.

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/29/10 at 21:28:24 WWF Superstars June 25th, 1994 Erie, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler building up tonight's main event, in which The Hollywood Blonds defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against the British Bulldogs. This match-up comes with the stipulation that if the Bulldogs fail to win the gold, they won't receive another title shot for the duration of the Blonds tag title reign. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Jim Powers and Ross Greenberg when Luca pinned Powers after the Podium Finish in 0:05:58. Rating: * 1/4 [Alundra interfered against Jim Powers.] The alluring Alundra's Swiss Bobsleigh Team chalked up another win tonight on Superstars and celebrated it in their own unique style. Lars and Luca are sure to face a sterner test next week when they square off against the Nasty Boys. Adam Bomb pinned Mike Moraldo with the Atom Smasher in 0:03:17. Rating: 3/4* The British Bulldogs were shown going through some last minute preparations backstage. Dynamite Kid told Davey Boy Smith to stop stretching so he could talk to him. Dynamite apologised to Smith for blowing up at him after their match with the Hollywood Blonds at the King of the Ring. Dynamite told Davey Boy that he was his partner and he would always have his back. Davey Boy thanked him and the two men shook hands. Davey Boy encouraged Dynamite Kid to make this a night to remember and capture the Tag Team Titles for a record fourth time. Dynamite promised his partner that this would be a night he'd never forget. Man Mountain Rock pinned Charlie Hunter after the Wallapalooza in 0:02:16. Rating: DUD This was another powerful performance from newcomer Man Mountain Rock, who steamrollered through young Charlie Hunter. Hunter succumbed to the Wallapalooza. Footage was shown from Monday Night RAW of the shocking debut of the newest faction in the World Wrestling Federation, Gary Hart's Black Friday Management. Vince McMahon announced that this coming week on RAW, the Great Muta - representing Black Friday Management - will have his first match since being sidelined with a quadricep injury. Barry Windham pinned P.J. Walker with the Superplex in 0:04:11. Barry Windham suffered an elbow injury. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: * 1/2 During the bout, Crush cut an insert promo on Barry Windham, addressing The Widowmaker's attack on him following Crush's win over Ted DiBiase at the King of the Ring. Crush said that when his abdominal injury heals he will be gunning for Windham. A vignette aired for the newest addition to the tag team ranks of the World Wrestling Federation, Lance Storm and Chris Jericho, better known as The Thrillseekers. The video showed the young Canadians having fun, staying up all night and painting the town red, all set to the soundtrack of Bon Jovi's "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid) when S. Austin pinned Davey Boy after the Brush with Greatness in 0:02:38. Rating: ** 1/2 (The Hollywood Blonds retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The turn of events in this World Tag Team Match were simply astounding. As soon as the referee called for the bell to start the match, Dynamite Kid immediately struck his partner Davey Boy Smith with a stiff clothesline to the back of the head! Smith rolled into the corner, where Dynamite destroyed him with a barrage of vicious kicks and stomps! Dynamite then bailed out of the ring and walked to the back, leaving Davey Boy at the mercy of the Hollywood Blonds! Steve Austin and Brian Pillman couldn't quite believe their luck and after hesitating for a few seconds, they put Davey Boy away with their finisher for the easiest title defence they will ever have. The fans were stunned at the actions of Dynamite Kid as Davey Boy Smith lay spread out in the middle of the ring. The camera cut quickly backstage, where Sean Mooney was chasing after Dynamite Kid, hoping to get an explanation. Dynamite simply ignored Mooney's questions and did not utter a word. He left the arena and walked out into the parking lot, where a limousine appeared to be waiting for him. None other than Tammy Lynn Fytch got out of the car, applauding Dynamite Kid!! Dynamite got into the limo and Fytch joined him in the back seat, before slamming the car door in Mooney's face! The limo then sped off, leaving Mooney is disbelief at what he had just witnessed! Circuit information: Tonight's edition of Superstars featured an astonishing turn of events. In the main event, Dynamite Kid turned on his longtime tag team partner Davey Boy Smith and joined up with Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. WWF fans live in the arena and watching on at home were left in a state of shock at these bewildering developments. Why would Dynamite Kid stab Davey Boy Smith in the back? Why would he join forces with Tammy Fytch?? Hopefully we will get some answers from Dynamite Kid in due course. Don't miss this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, where Macho Man Randy Savage will risk it all as he challenges Big Van Vader for the WWF Title. Savage, who has serious internal injuries, was goaded into facing Vader for the gold without allowing time to heal. Knowing how ruthless and sadistic the Mastodon is, this could be the last time the Macho Man sets foot in a WWF ring for a very lone time. But can Savage upset the champion and capture the WWF Championship for a third time? Also on RAW, Black Friday Management are back in the house as the Great Muta will be in action, plus Scott Steiner goes one-on-one with the Lightning Kid! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/18/10 at 13:06:40 Monday Night RAW June 27th, 1994 Westchester County Civic Center, White Plains, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a video package hyping up tonight's main event, where an injured Macho Man Randy Savage is putting his career in jeopardy for the chance to capture the WWF Championship from the unstoppable Mastodon, Big Van Vader. Vader was then shown going through an intense warm-up in his locker room. Harley Race fired his man up and claimed he couldn't see anybody taking the title from the Rocky Mountain Monster. Race said we were moments away from Randy Savage's final match as Vader was set to Vader Bomb the Macho Man into oblivion! Scott Steiner, along with his manager Tammy Fytch, made their way out for the opening match of Monday Night RAW. Sean Mooney rushed out after Fytch, hoping to ask her questions about the acquisition of Dynamite Kid to Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Fytch said he would have to wait, just like everybody else. Scott Steiner pinned Lightning Kid with the SSD in 0:08:05. Rating: *** Scott Steiner took over in this match when he crotched the Lightning Kid on the top rope when Kid went for a moonsault bodyblock. Steiner then launched Kid off the top rope with a vicious belly-to-back superplex. Steiner rolled through Lightning Kid with a twisting double underhook power bomb and a Steinerline, much to Tammy Fytch's delight. Scott Steiner then spiked Kid on his neck with the Screwdriver for the three count. Lightning Kid was clutching his neck in severe pain as a result of Scott Steiner's dangerous finishing manoeuvre. While the official tended to Kid, Tammy Fytch grabbed the mic and warned Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon that he could expect exactly the same fate if he ever has the guts to step in the ring again with Steiner. Hoping to send a message to the Bad Guy, Steiner dragged Lightning Kid's limp body off the mat and went to execute another Steiner Screwdriver. The crowd popped as Ramon himself ran out to make the save, sending Steiner packing! Razor Ramon helped Lightning Kid to the back during the break and warned Scott Steiner that he was playing with fire. Backstage, Randy Savage was warming up for his WWF Title Match with Big Van Vader. The Macho Man, whose ribs were taped heavily, winced every so often as he went through his preparations. Savage was clearly in a lot of discomfort. Crush, who is Randy Savage's good friend and is recovering from an abdominal injury himself, entered the dressing room and attempted to talk some sense into the Macho Man. Crush tried to convince Savage to put off the bout with Vader until he was fully healed and then come back and win the WWF Title at a later date. Savage ignored Crush's advice and described how it wasn't an option to let Big Van Vader and Harley Race punk him out. The Macho Man said that the fire still burns inside him and he is eager for the spotlight...one more time. Crush, who understood, shook Savage's hand and wished him luck. Mack McCall narrated another vignette hyping up his WWF debut. He described that driving up and down a road, 365 days a year, sleeping in the cab, eating when you can, makes you the king of that road. McCall said that compared to driving, the WWF would be a snap. McCall claimed that the company had never seen someone as tough as a truck driver and he would show how tough a trucker is very soon. Mack McCall is coming to the WWF - and he debuts next week! Black Friday Management entered the arena as the Great Muta limbered up for action next. Gary Hart, flanked by the Arabian Butchers and Kimona, joined Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan at the commentary table. Great Muta pinned Rich Myers with the Moonsault Press in 0:02:39. Rating: * While Great Muta systematically decimated his opponent, on commentary Gary Hart put over the phenomenal wrestling machine from the Orient. Hart admitted that he has a great deal of respect for people from the Land of the Rising Sun and claimed that the most honourable, the best trained and the greatest athletes in the world come from Japan. Hart - who is well connected in the wrestling business - revealed that he had been trying for years to get Muta and now he had the power to do it. Hart branded Muta a very dangerous weapon and that together they will conquer the bigoted and prejudiced World Wrestling Federation. In the ring, Great Muta nailed Rich Myers with a handspring elbow and used a backbreaker. After working over Myers with a nerve hold, Muta hit an enzuigiri and then caught his opponent with a fantastic looking moonsault to score the pinfall win. Footage aired of Dynamite Kid's betrayal of Davey Boy Smith from last weekend's edition of Superstars. Smith then cut a promo where he vowed to be at Superstars this weekend and he is coming for answers!! Big Van Vader defeated Randy Savage via referee stoppage in 0:08:31. Rating: ** 1/2 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race interfered against Randy Savage.] Randy Savage went straight on the offensive at the start of this bout, figuring that the best way to protect his injury was to stop Big Van Vader getting on the attack. The Macho Man sent Vader out of the ring with a clothesline and then drove the Mastodon into the ringpost with a high knee to the back! Savage then had the crowd on the edge of their seats, hitting a double ax handle from the top rope onto Vader who was draped against the guard rail. Back between the ropes, Savage went for another flying axhandle but Harley Race grabbed a hold of his foot. While the Macho Man tried to regain his balance, Vader capitalised on the distraction by punching Savage in the ribs. Vader climbed up on the turnbuckles and lifted the hurt challenger onto his shoulders, before dumping Savage ribs-first onto the top turnbuckle!! Savage slumped to the ringside floor, where Vader punished Savage's ribs further by ramming the Macho Man into the ringpost. Savage was writhing around in agony, but the Mastodon refused to show any mercy and threw the Macho Man's broken body back into the ring. Savage got a foot over the bottom rope to prevent the pinfall after a sick power bomb, much to the joy of the crowd. Savage tried to get some respite in the corner, but the ruthless WWF Champion kept coming after him, pummelling Savage with a succession of nasty body shots. The Macho Man began to cough up blood as Vader continued the merciless assault. With blood streaming from Savage's mouth, the referee - possibly fearing that Savage would suffer permanent internal damage - called for the bell and awarded the match to Big Van Vader. The fans jeered the result and Big Van Vader was not happy either - he wanted to end the Macho Man Randy Savage's career. At Harley Race's request, Vader slammed Savage down and set him up for a Vader Bomb. The official tried to intervene but he was punched out by Race. Vader connected with a devastating Vader Bomb as the Macho Man spat out more mouthfuls of claret. Race signalled for another and Vader brutalised every road agent and official that dared to enter the ring. Big Van Vader ascended the ropes in preparation for a second Vader Bomb when suddenly the arena plunged into darkness!! A gong rang out through the arena as The Undertaker slowly walked down the aisle! Vader got ready to confront the Deadman as the fans went wild for the Undertaker. 'Taker and Vader went nose-to-nose in the centre of the ring, prepared to go at it! However, Harley Race convinced his man to save it for another day and the two men left the ring with the WWF Championship in tow. The crowd jeered the retreating Vader and Race, while The Undertaker pointed to the WWF Title. The Phenom then looked at Vader and ran his thumb across his throat as the show drew to a close!! Circuit information: Macho Man Randy Savage was beaten from pillar to post by Big Van Vader in their WWF Championship Match this evening, but through it all Savage never gave up. Savage gave everything he had until his internal injuries took their toll. When the Macho Man began coughing up blood, the official was left with no option but to make a judgement call and stop the match. Regardless of the result, Hall of Fame bound Macho Man Randy Savage is a champion in the eyes of WWF fans all over the world. It could have ended much worse for Randy Savage though, had Big Van Vader and Harley Race gotten their way. Race and Vader were determined to end Savage's career tonight, but it was an appearance from the Undertaker that brought their assault of the Macho Man to a screeching halt. Undertaker has not forgotten how his chance of becoming WWF Champion for the second time was robbed from him by Race and Vader at the King of the Ring and made his objective of capturing the title from Big Van Vader very clear. There were some chilling words from Gary Hart on commentary this evening as he laid out his agenda for Black Friday Management - dominate and reign over the World Wrestling Federation. Great Muta looks even more focused and destructive under the guidance of Hart and with the Arabian Butchers and Kimona in the mix as well, Gart Hart has assembled a very formidable army. Bad News Brown was suspended for 60 days by WWF President Jack Tunney this past May. His suspension expires this week and you have to wonder whether or not he will he show up on Superstars. Speaking of that show, Davey Boy Smith has vowed be there and demand an explanation from the Dynamite Kid in what promises to be a very volatile situation! We hope you'll join us this weekend - till then, so long everybody!!

[Harley Race interfered against Razor Ramon.] Card rating: *** Match observations: Tonight's show featured the debut of NASCAR driver turned wrestler Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. The fans took to Holly, who was victorious over the Brooklyn Brawler with a flying cross body press. The Hollywood Blonds faced a stern test from the unconventional combination of Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin were lucky to escape with their titles after Austin used a clapperboard behind the referee's back. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett continues to build momentum, scoring a huge win over former Intercontinental Champion Tatanka. It was not without controversy though - Jarrett smashed his acoustic guitar over Tatanka's head to score the pin. Razor Ramon challenged Big Van Vader for the WWF Title in the main event. The crowd was solidly behind Ramon, who had the Mastodon reeling. Vader was shaken enough to get himself disqualified after he drilled the Bad Guy with the championship belt. Vader continued to assault Ramon after the match, but the Big Boss Man, Duke Droese, Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker made the save and ran Vader off.

The show opened with footage of last week's treacherous betrayal of Davey Boy Smith by longtime partner Dynamite Kid. Dynamite Kid then joined up with Tammy Fytch and Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Davey Boy Smith is at the arena tonight and is determined to confront Dynamite on tonight's show! Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) when Luca pinned Knobbs with the G-Force in 0:09:41. Rating: * 1/2 [Alundra interfered against Jerry Sags.] The Swiss Bobsleigh Team were given the sternest test of their WWF careers so far as they went up against former Tag Team Champions the Nasty Boys. Knobbs and Sags were in control for most of the bout, but their momentum was interrupted when Alundra tripped Sags. Knobbs tried to punish her for her interference by giving her the Pit Stop! As a horrified Alundra tried to squirm out of Knobbs' grasp, Luca capitalised on the distraction by blasting Knobbs with a running knee to the back of the head! Knobbs collapsed to the mat in a heap and Luca pinned him easily! There was no time for the Swiss Bobsleighers to complete their trademark celebration as Sags chased them to the back with a steel chair. Scotty Flamingo pinned Reno Riggins with the Point Break in 0:06:10. Rating: 3/4 Highlights were shown of the WWF title match from Monday Night RAW between Randy Savage and Big Van Vader.

Following the video, Vince McMahon revealed that this coming week on RAW, Jack Tunney will announce who will challenge Vader for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam! Another vignette aired ahead of the debut of the Thrillseekers, Chris Jericho and Lance Storm.

Rating: DUD This match never got started as Bad News Brown, returning tonight from a sixty day suspension, hit the ring and attacked both men. Bad News destroyed Backlund with kicks and punches, before throwing him out of the ring. Brown then attacked Todd Mata and sent him packing with the Ghetto Blaster. Bad News Brown said that WWF President Jack Tunney's decision to send him home to stew and fester was the worst thing Tunney could have ever done. Bad News said that he had returned meaner and nastier than ever and he was going to take out his frustrations on the WWF locker room, starting with these two spineless cockroaches tonight! Brown warned that he was taking no prisoners. Marty Jannetty pinned Big Bully Busick with the Rocker Dropper in 0:06:04.

The winner of that particular bout will earn an Intercontinental Title Match against Razor Ramon. When the show returned from commercial, Gene Okerlund was in the ring ready to interview Dynamite Kid and his new manager, Tammy Fytch. Dynamite Kid was greeted with boos and jeers, while Fytch looked disgusted at the reception her new charge was getting. Okerlund asked Dynamite the question that was on the lips of every WWF fan - why did he turn his back on his longtime tag team partner Davey Boy Smith? Dynamite took the mic and cut a promo on Davey Boy. Dynamite claimed that he was a better wrestler than Davey Boy and had carried him the whole time that they had been teaming as the British Bulldogs. Dynamite said that he had made Smith and took credit for starting Smith's career. Dynamite said that he was the one that convinced the Harts to bring Davey Boy over from England to train him. Dynamite turned to Fytch and thanked her for showing him the light, while the beaming Fytch applauded. Dynamite proclaimed himself to be, pound for pound, the greatest wrestler of all time! That final comment brought out Davey Boy Smith to a rapturous response!! Smith tried to get at Dynamite, but Dynamite cowardly hid behind Tammy Fytch! Dynamite told Smith to hold back, as he had some things to say to him that he had been waiting a long time to say. Dynamite branded Davey a "boy" and said that Smith isn't fit to carry his jock! Dynamite called Davey Boy the weak link of their team, pointing out that on each occasion that they had dropped the Tag Team Titles since returning, it was Smith who dropped the fall! Dynamite said that it felt great to finally have this monkey off his back! Dynamite then spat in Smith's face!! Incensed, Smith shoved Fytch aside and attacked Dynamite!! Davey Boy hammered Dynamite down to the canvas and began choking him, when suddenly The Beverly Brothers made an unexpected return!! Beau and Blake came to Dynamite's aid, helping him take out Davey Boy! The Beverlys dropped Davey Boy throat-first over the top rope with their leapfrog body guillotine, before holding Smith in place for two diving headbutts from Dynamite Kid! Dynamite stood over Smith, slapped him and blew snot on him, while the Beverly Brothers hugged Tammy! As the show drew to a close, The Beverlys held up Dynamite Kid's arms in triumph while Fytch looked on, extremely proud of herself. Circuit information: An explosive ending to this week's edition of Superstars, where Dynamite Kid had some choice words for his former partner Davey Boy Smith. Dynamite tore Smith apart on the microphone, branding him the weak link of the British Bulldogs and taking credit for making his career. Dynamite spat in Smith's face and a full scale brawl broke out, which brought out the newest members of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, The Beverly Brothers! Beau, Blake and Dynamite did a number on Smith and left him lying. Tammy Fytch is building up quite a stable of superstars and this cunning, intelligent woman should not be underestimated. She was the brains behind this set-up of Davey Boy Smith and she is determined to reach the top of the WWF by any means necessary. Harvey Wippleman blew a gasket after the show and in the midst of his rage, Wippleman fired Big Bully Busick. Wippleman was incensed after he was decked by Marty Jannetty. An injury update on Randy Savage. He was diagnosed with a pair of cracked ribs and a ruptured spleen after Monday Night RAW. No word on when he will return to action.

Rating: ** 1/2 Footage was shown from the King of the Ring of Barry Windham destroying Crush after the big Hawaiian had defeated the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.

Rating: 3/4* The crowd were delighted to see Crush back in action as he made short work of Iron Mike Sharpe. Crush put away the veteran with a big powerslam. After the match, Crush was distracted by Ted DiBiase making an appearance. DiBiase jumped up onto the ring apron, but Crush was blindsided by The Widowmaker Barry Windham! Windham threw Crush into the corner and began to assault Crush's midsection. The Widowmaker went for a shoulderblock to the gut, but Crush moved and Windham struck the ringpost hard! Crush then went after DiBiase, clotheslining him out of the ring and then tossing him into the steel steps! Crush was a man possessed as he turned his attention back to the prone Windham. He grabbed Windham's arm and rammed it into the ringpost repeatedly, while The Widowmaker yelled out in agony! Crush then snatched a steel chair and smashed it into Windham's arm!! Officials and road agents managed to disarm Crush and drag him away before any further damage could be done. Windham favoured his injured arm and feared that he had broken it while Ted DiBiase threatened to make Crush pay dearly for doing this to his bodyguard!! Tito Santana pinned Mike Bell after a short lariat in 0:05:46. Mike Bell suffered a larynx injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: ** Jerry "The King" Lawler hosted an edition of the King's Court. His guests this week were Scott Steiner and Tammy Fytch, who were not happy about the Golden Dream Tag Team Match set for two weeks' time on Superstars. This bout, featuring all former Intercontinental Champions, will see Bam Bam Bigelow and Shawn Michaels square off with Mr. Perfect and Tatanka. The winning team will then face off in a singles match the following week with a shot at Razor Ramon's Intercontinental Title at stake. Fytch was disgusted that Scott Steiner was not next in line for a shot at Ramon's title. Fytch asked if WWF officials had forgotten about Steiner's "crushing defeat" of the Bad Guy at the King of the Ring. She said that Steiner's victory over Ramon should have automatically made him the number one contender. Fytch accused WWF management of plotting to hold Steiner down and warned that she was assembling her legal team. Mack McCall pinned Gary Scott with the Breaker Breaker in 0:04:08. Rating: * 1/4 This was the official WWF debut of "The Toughest Trucker on the Road" Mack McCall and he did not disappoint. McCall simply took Gary Scott apart and finished him with a stalled neckbreaker that he calls the "Breaker Breaker". The show returned from commercial with WWF President Jack Tunney in the ring. Tunney announced that SummerSlam was all set for Monday night, August 29th, from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Tunney said that at the hottest event of the summer, you need a hot main event. He was about to reveal the identity of WWF Champion Big Van Vader's opponent when he was interrupted by Bad News Brown. The crowd booed Bad News out of the building, but Brown told the fans that he didn't care what these "beer-bellied sharecroppers" thought of him! Tunney warned Bad News that if he laid a finger on him, he would suspend him again - but this time it would be indefinitely. Brown laughed and told Tunney to relax. Bad News claimed that Tunney had made a mistake when he hit him with a suspension, but Tunney could make up for it by giving Bad News what he deserved - a shot at the WWF Title at SummerSlam! Tunney said he saw things a little differently to Bad News and was instead awarding the title shot to...The Undertaker!! The crowd popped as The Undertaker made his entrance. Bad News Brown paced up and down the ring in anger. Bad News confronted The Undertaker as the Deadman entered the ring. Brown said that he never had a problem with the Deadman before, but if The Undertaker was standing in the way of him becoming WWF Champion, then there was a huge problem. The Undertaker rolled his eyes back into his head, while Paul Bearer held up the urn. Brown mocked the Undertaker, claiming that he wasn't scared of him or his 80-year old punk sidekick. Jack Tunney then interjected with an idea. He suggested that Bad News Brown face The Undertaker one-on-one next week on Monday Night RAW, with the winner facing Big Van Vader for the WWF Title at SummerSlam! The crowd voiced their approval. Bad News accepted this idea and warned that next week The Undertaker would not get a chance to play any mind games or apply the Tombstone, because he would put his foot so far up 'Taker's backside that his breath would smell like shoe polish!! Brown then turned to Paul Bearer and said that he had something for him too if he tried to get involved! Suddenly, The Undertaker grabbed Bad News Brown by the throat and said that next week, he would have to face the Reaper! Bad News shoved him off and the two men faced off nose-to-nose as the show drew to a close!! Circuit information: It is now official - The Undertaker will battle Bad News Brown next week on Monday Night RAW, with a shot at the WWF Championship in the main event of SummerSlam at stake!! Brown feels he should be the rightful champion after former champion Bret Hart suffered an injury in a match with him and was forced to vacate the title. The Undertaker feels aggrieved after Harley Race cost him his first round match with Big Van Vader in the WWF Title tournament at the King of the Ring. One of these men will get what they feel they deserve after next week's bout, which is sure to be a knock-down drag-out slugfest! Barry Windham suffered a partial tear in a ligament in his right elbow during the vicious attack by Crush tonight and will be out of action for a month. Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase is not happy that his bodyguard has been sidelined and has sworn vengeance. This weekend on Superstars, Gene Okerlund will conduct a sitdown interview with Dynamite Kid, which will surely make interesting viewing. Also, the newest members of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, the Beverly Brothers, will be in action in their first bout under the tutelage of Tammy Fytch. Till then, so long everybody!!

Rating: ** 1/4 The Arabian Butchers, representing Gary Hart's Black Friday Management, recorded an emphatic win tonight on Superstars. The ice cold cerebral businessman Hart looked on approvingly at ringside while the Butchers hammered their opponents. After squashing John Paul, the physically imposing twins roughed up Gary Sabaugh. Manuel and Victor held Sabaugh in place for Kimona to enter the ring and unleash a succession of martial arts kicks to the youngster. Gary Hart took the mic and said that with him now guiding the careers of these remorseless creatures, it was about to get a whole lot scarier in the World Wrestling Federation. Bam Bam Bigelow was accompanied to the ring for the next match by his manager Harvey Wippleman, who was wearing a ridiculously oversized nose guard. Wippleman suffered a broken nose as a result of being punched in the face by Marty Jannetty on last week's show. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned George South with the Diving Headbutt in 0:02:31. Rating: * 3/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against George South.] During the match, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo regarding next week's Golden Dream Tag Team Match, claiming to be fully prepared and concentrated on recapturing the Intercontinental Title. After the match, Sean Mooney came down to ringside to interview Harvey Wippleman. Wippleman ripped into Big Bully Busick, claiming to have fired him for being a useless buffoon. He said that he needed to surround himself with people he could trust so nothing bad - like what happened last week - could ever happen to him again. The Warlord, in his first WWF appearance for two years, wandered out to the ring as Wippleman revealed he had convinced him to return and watch his back. Wippleman warned Marty Jannetty that he would make him pay for the physical disfigurement he had endured! Harley Race cut a promo ahead of The Undertaker vs Bad News Brown number one contenders match on Monday Night RAW. Race said it doesn't matter who goes on to face Big Van Vader for the WWF Title at SummerSlam, because the Mastodon feels no pain and fears no man!!

Rating: ** 1/4 During the bout, Max Moon cut an insert promo sending well wishes to the Lightning Kid, who had recently injured his neck at the hands of Scott Steiner and the devastating SSD. Another Thrillseekers vignette was shown. Chris Jericho and Lance Storm were working out at the gym ahead of their debut in the WWF. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Mr. Perfect and Tatanka. The two men will be on the same side in next week's Golden Dream Tag Team Match. Perfect acknowledged their controversial match at the King of the Ring and apologised to Tatanka for being a hot-head. Tatanka said things were fine between them and they were 100% focussed on defeating Shawn Michaels and Bam Bam Bigelow next week. Then, Tatanka said, they would leave it in the hands of the Gods as to who goes on to challenge for the Intercontinental Title. Perfect and Tatanka then shook hands. Big Boss Man pinned Chris Canyon with the Boss Man Slam in 0:02:16. Rating: * 1/2 Gene Okerlund conducted a sitdown interview with Dynamite Kid and Tammy Fytch. Dynamite Kid calmly explained his reasons for turning on Davey Boy Smith and joining Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Dynamite called Davey Boy Smith an ungrateful leech who was holding him back. He again branded Smith as the weak link of the British Bulldogs team, as footage aired of Smith losing the fall in title losses to the Steiner Brothers and in the Triple Threat match at WrestleMania. Dynamite claimed that he was continually being held back by tagging with Davey Boy. Dynamite panned Davey Boy for returning to the WWF without him in 1990, leaving Dynamite high and dry in Japan. Tammy Fytch confidently predicted that Smith would be a zero without Dynamite to carry him anymore. Okerlund questioned how they could call Davey Boy the weak link and a zero when Smith is a former Intercontinental Champion. That comment sent Dynamite into a rage and he stormed off-set! Fytch called Okerlund an idiot and rushed after Dynamite to calm him down. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when Beau pinned Fatu after the Shaker Heights Spike in 0:07:49. Samu suffered a sprained ankle. He will be out for approximately 1 month. Rating: ** [Tammy Fytch interfered against Fatu.] [Afa interfered against Blake Beverly.] During the bout, The Beverly Brothers cut an insert promo, claiming that Tammy Fytch was the best manager that they had ever had. They took a few shots at former manager The Genius, calling him a clown. Vince McMahon suggested that Fytch was a perfect match for Beau and Blake as they were all spoiled brats. Jerry Lawler predicted tag team gold for the Beverlys within six months! The Beverly Brothers displayed a focus and determination they had never shown before in WWF rings here tonight against the Headshrinkers. They isolated Fatu after taking out Samu on the floor, viciously attacking Samu's ankle. Fatu was left in a two-on-one situation with the despicable Beverlys and he eventually succumbed to the Shaker Heights Spike. A convincing win for Beau and Blake! Tammy Fytch celebrated with her new team after the match. Vince McMahon was forced to acknowleged that Jerry Lawler's prediction did not seem all that far-fetched now. The show closed with the announcers hyping up the Undertaker vs Bad News Brown match-up on Monday Night RAW. Circuit information: Tammy Fytch has already worked wonders with the Beverly Brothers as Fytch Wrestling Enterprises continues to grow stronger. Fytch looked on with delight as Beau and Blake destroyed the Headshrinkers tonight. The cunning Fytch has brought out a new aggressive attitude in the Beverlys which may lead them to championship gold. Harvey Wippleman has also added to the ranks of his stable, bringing the Warlord back to the WWF. Wippleman has sent the Warlord after Marty Jannetty in order to exact revenge for the broken nose he suffered at the hands of the former Rocker. This coming week on Monday Night RAW, our SummerSlam main event will be confirmed. In order to determine who will challenge Big Van Vader for the WWF Title at the hottest event of the summer, The Undertaker goes one-on-one with Bad News Brown! Who will come out on top? Join us this Monday night to find out!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/10/10 at 21:41:15 Monday Night RAW July 11th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. This week's show opened with promos from Bad News Brown and The Undertaker ahead of their showdown in the main event. Bad News Brown said that the company had thought they had got rid of him when they hit him with a sixty day suspension, but all it did was make him come back that much meaner and that much tougher. He suggested that the Undertaker get back in his casket and hide because Bad News is back in town. The Undertaker said that when Bad News threatened Paul Bearer last week, in one single moment he had sealed his fate. 'Taker vowed to crush Brown and throw his soul into eternal darkness! Backstage, the Lightning Kid was preparing for his singles bout with Shawn Michaels. Max Moon, who was worried about his tag team partner, tried to talk him out of taking the match. Moon feared that the Kid had still not fully recovered after taking Scott Steiner's SSD two weeks ago. Kid assured Moon that he was fine and headed for the ring. Before the opening match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon came down to ringside to provide colour commentary. Ramon said he was out to scout Shawn Michaels, one quarter of the big Golden Dream Tag Team Match which is taking place this weekend on Superstars. Lightning Kid and Shawn Michaels battled to a no-contest in 0:12:58. Rating: *** 1/2 [Liz interfered against Lightning Kid.] The Lightning Kid and Shawn Michaels had one of the best matches so far this year on Monday Night RAW. Kid send the Heartbreak Kid out to ringside with a spin kick to the jaw and attempted to follow up with a flip dive, but Liz pulled HBK out of the way and Kid hit the floor hard! As Liz distracted the official, Michaels pulled the steel steps away from the ring and dumped the Kid gut-first on top of them! At the commentary table, Razor Ramon was growing more and more agitated with the Heartbreak Kid's tactics. Michaels then exposed the bottom section of the steps and drilled the Lightning Kid with a piledriver!! The Kid was out cold and, fearing for the youngster's career, Ramon left the commentary table and went to confront HBK! Michaels wanted no part of the Bad Guy and bailed as the referee threw the match out. Razor Ramon returned to ringside to assist medical staff in helping the Lightning Kid onto a stretcher. Ramon stayed by the Kid's side as he was wheeled away from ringside. Suddenly, Scott Steiner appeared at ringside and swiped Ramon's Intercontinental Title belt! Steiner chased up the aisle after Ramon and clocked him in the back of the head with the belt!! Steiner put the boots to Ramon and yelled at the Bad Guy to stop dodging him, before the maniacal Steiner was dragged off by road agents! Man Mountain Rock made Mark Thomas submit to the Whammy Bar in 0:02:02. Rating: * 1/4 Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase was the guest on this week's edition of the King's Court. DiBiase addressed the attack conducted on his bodyguard Barry Windham at the hands of Crush last week, which resulted in Windham being ruled out for several weeks with an elbow injury. The Million Dollar Man warned that the consequences would be severe for Crush. DiBiase then announced that he has put a $50,000 bounty on the head of the Hawaiian superstar! DiBiase clarified that the goal of the bounty is not to pin Crush, but to cripple him. Backstage, Shawn Michaels was shown shaking hands with both Tammy Fytch and Scott Steiner. Fytch then noticed the camera on them and yelled at the cameraman to leave! Number-One-Contenders-Match: The Undertaker pinned Bad News Brown with the Tombstone in 0:08:03. Rating: * 1/4 Bad News Brown jumped The Undertaker before he could even get his robe off and they brawled to the floor. 'Taker floored Bad News with a flying clothesline, but Brown came back and clipped the Deadman's knee. 'Taker fought off Bad News with punches and went for the ropewalk forearm, but Brown crotched him on the top rope. Brown went after the knee again. Bad News missed the Ghetto Blaster and Undertaker landed a choke slam. 'Taker signalled for the Tombstone, but just then Harley Race made his way out, distracting the Deadman. Bad News seized the opportunity to go low on The Undertaker. Bad News then tried to put away The Undertaker with 'Taker's own finishing hold, the Tombstone, but Undertaker reversed into a Tombstone of his own for the three count! Harley Race was furious at the result and WWF Champion Big Van Vader joined his manager in the aisle. The Undertaker pointed at Vader - the man he will now face for the championship at SummerSlam - and slashed his own throat with his right hand, taunting the WWF Champion! Harley Race desperately tried to hold the Mastodon back from entering the ring! The locker room emptied with officials and road agents, blocking Vader's route to the ring. The Undertaker signalled that the title would soon be around his waist, which only further infuriated Vader, as the show went off-air!! Circuit information: The stage is set for SummerSlam on August 29th - Big Van Vader will defend the WWF Championship against The Undertaker in Chicago!! It is a mouth-watering prospect for WWF fans and it gives the Deadman the chance to get his hands on the Mastodon, an opportunity he has been waiting for since the screwjob at the King of the Ring. Shawn Michaels and the Lightning Kid went to an unsatisfying non-finish in a tremendous bout tonight. Michaels attacked Kid after the match, further injuring the youngster's weakened neck with a piledriver on the steel steps! This was all Razor Ramon could take, who then went after Michaels. However, Ramon was then jumped by Scott Steiner, the man that is hell-bent on taking the Bad Guy's Intercontinental Championship! Are Michaels and Steiner in cahoots?? Scott Steiner is furious that he has not been considered for the Golden Dream Tag Team Match this weekend on Superstars, which will see Bam Bam Bigelow team up with Shawn Michaels to face the team of Mr. Perfect and Tatanka. The winning team will then face off in a singles match the following week. The winner of that particular bout will earn an Intercontinental Title Match against Razor Ramon. You have to feel that Ramon, who is a marked man at present, will be crossing his fingers that HBK comes out on top so he can dish out some retribution for what Michaels did to the Lightning Kid tonight. After the show, The Lightning Kid was diagnosed with a stinger as a result of Shawn Michaels' piledriver. Kid is expected to make a full recovery after several weeks' rest. Enraged at the injury suffered by his bodyguard Barry Windham, Ted DiBiase has put a bounty on the head of Crush. Who will step up and try to take out the big Hawaiian? Mack McCall has quit, effective immediately. Hope you didn't blink and miss his WWF career. Join us this weekend for Superstars, where in addition to the Golden Dream Tag Team Match, we have been told to expect a big announcement regarding the Tag Team Title picture! Till then, so long everybody!!

Rating: * 3/4 During the match, Marty Jannetty cut an insert promo in which he poked fun at the goofy mask that Harvey Wippleman is now sporting to protect his broken nose. Gene Okerlund conducted an interview with the newest members of the WWF's tag team ranks, The Thrillseekers, Chris Jericho and Lance Storm. Storm said that they were looking forward to proving themselves against the best and proving that they are the team of the future. Jericho claimed that they will go at 100 mph, non-stop. He added that they like to live life to the edge and said they were going to rock the WWF and rock America! Duke Droese pinned Nick Barberri with the Trash Compactor in 0:05:09. Rating: -1/2* Vince McMahon announced that on next week's edition of Superstars, the top contenders to the WWF Tag Team Titles would be determined by the first ever Tag Team Turmoil Match. This match will consist of a series of one-fall tag team bouts, featuring the top six ranked tandems in the company. Two teams will begin the match and are replaced whenever one is eliminated, with the last team standing being named the winner. The Hollywood Blonds then cut a promo. Steve Austin predicted that whomever wins the Tag Team Turmoil match will be sweating bullets and won't be able to sleep at night at thought of having to step in the ring with the WWF Tag Team Champions. Brian Pillman said that everybody had seen what they'd done to the Steiners and the Bulldogs and added that they don't fear anybody. He invited any team to step up to the plate and have a brush with greatness. Duke Droese was interviewed backstage by Sean Mooney. Droese addressed the growing list of challengers to his Hardcore Title, but said that their dreams of taking the title from him would end up in the trash! Droese took the lid off his trash can to emphasise his point with a visual, but he was suddenly attacked by a flock of birds which flew out of the trash can!! Droese managed to flee the bird attack, while the Birdman's evil laugh was heard in the background. Jeff Jarrett pinned Derrick Stone after a DDT in 0:05:13. Rating: 1/2 After the match, an excited Tennessee Lee cut a promo and proclaimed that Jeff Jarrett is the greatest wrestler, the greatest singer and greatest entertainer of all time. He added that the Ain't I Great Tour was in full swing. Jarrett took the mic and revealed that the greatest night of the tour would happen very soon, when he performs his brand new single - "With My Baby Tonight" - live on WWF television! Shawn Michaels made his way out for the main event of the show, accompanied by the seductive Liz. The announcers noted that Michaels was not wearing his ring gear. The Heartbreak Kid took the mic and announced that he was pulling out of the Golden Dream Tag Team Match. Michaels said that as far as the Intercontinental Championship was concerned, he had climbed that particular mountain before. HBK felt he had bigger fish to fry and was going to move on to bigger and better things. However, Michaels revealed that he had found someone to take his place. Michaels said that his replacement tonight would be the man that beat that greaseball Razor Ramon at the King of the Ring, Scott Steiner!! Scott Steiner entered the ring, along with a beaming Tammy Fytch. Steiner shook hands with Michaels before the Heartbreak Kid made his exit. Vince McMahon realised that this plan was apparently what Michaels and Steiner were caught discussing last Monday night and pondered whether Jack Tunney would allow this development to stand. [Golden Dream Tag Team Match]: Mr. Perfect and Tatanka defeated Bam Bam Bigelow and Scott Steiner when Perfect pinned Bigelow after an inside cradle in 0:14:52. Rating: * 1/4 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Tatanka.] Scott Steiner was handed a golden opportunity for a shot at the Intercontinental Title by Shawn Michaels tonight, but ultimately his hopes were to be dashed. As Steiner tussled with Tatanka at ringside, Bam Bam Bigelow laid out Mr. Perfect in the ring. Bigelow climbed to the top rope in preparation to deliver a moonsault, but Perfect kicked the official into the ropes! Bigelow lost his balance and crotched himself on the top turnbuckle. Perfect then sent the stunned Bigelow crashing to the mat with an inside cradle for the three count, setting up a Perfect vs Tatanka singles match on next week's show. Scott Steiner had a fit at ringside when he realised that Bam Bam Bigelow had been pinned. He stormed to the back in a rage while Tammy Fytch attempted to pacify him. Tatanka entered the ring and celebrated the win with Mr. Perfect as the fans cheered. Suddenly, Perfect kicked Tatanka in the gut and planted him with a Perfect Plex!! Perfect received a mixed ovation from the crowd while the announcers were left stunned by his actions! Circuit information: After the show, Mr. Perfect explained his reasons for laying out Tatanka with a Perfect Plex after their match. Perfect said he was simply displaying that he is willing to do whatever it takes to earn a shot at championship gold - even stab a friend in the back. Perfect asked Tatanka not to take it personally. When asked about the incident, the Native American accepted that he had let his guard down, but vowed that it wouldn't be so easy for Perfect next week. Tatanka added that if they need to put their friendship aside until after next week's match, then so be it. The mind games have officially started ahead of next week's crucial bout! It is Tag Team Turmoil on next week's edition of Superstars, a unique guantlet-style match that will determine the number one contenders to the WWF Tag Team Titles. The tag team division is extremely competitive in the WWF and next week one lucky team will earn the opportunity to challenge for the straps. Although we cannot confirm the six teams involved next week, we do know that the Headshrinkers have been ruled out of Tag Team Turmoil due to Samu's ankle injury. The Birdman made his intentions clear to Duke Droese tonight - he wants a shot at the Hardcore Title. Droese was treated after the show for several cuts and scratches as a result of the bird attack. The Thrillseekers are set to debut in two weeks on Superstars. Many mat observers are describing Chris Jericho and Lance Storm as the hottest team to come down the pike in many years and we are very excited to finally see them in action. WWF Champion Big Van Vader is in action this coming week on Monday Night RAW, as are the Dynamite Kid and the Great Muta. Also, after Ted DiBiase put a bounty on his head, Crush will give his thoughts on the Sermon. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 08/24/10 at 21:08:41 Monday Night RAW July 18th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. As Black Friday Management made their way out for the opening contest, Vince McMahon announced that WWF Champion Big Van Vader would be in action later. Bobby Heenan pondered how Vader would react now that his SummerSlam match with The Undertaker is now official. Great Muta pinned Jim Powers with the Moonsault Press in 0:04:10. Rating: ** The Great Muta looked very impressive again here tonight on Monday Night RAW. Muta scored with a mule kick in the corner, a missile dropkick and an enzuigiri which sent Jim Powers to the floor. Muta followed up with a pescado and a nice handspring elbow on the outside! The moonsault finished things at just over four minutes. During the match, Owen Hart called in and said that he had not forgotten about the unprovoked assault he had suffered at the hands of the Great Muta and Black Friday Management. The Rocket promised to return very soon and settle the score. A vignette aired hyping up the debut of NASCAR driver turned wrestler Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. Holly said that when he comes to the WWF, he'll be going wide open, pedal to the metal! Footage was shown from two weeks ago on Superstars of the Beverly Brothers defeating the Headshrinkers. Samu suffered an injured ankle during the course of the bout; tonight Fatu is out for revenge on behalf of his tag team partner as he takes on Blake Beverly. Before this singles bout could even begin, Beau Beverly took out Fatu's knee from behind with a chopblock! Beau was promptly ejected from ringside by the official, but the damage had been done. Blake Beverly made Fatu submit to a figure-four leglock in 0:05:16. Rating: 3/4* Fatu was easy pickings for Blake Beverly following Beau's pre-match attack. Blake relentlessly worked over Fatu's knee and finally made him submit to a figure-four leglock. Beau returned to the ring after the match and joined his brother in putting the boots to Fatu, while Tammy Fytch looked on with glee. The Beverly Brothers put an exclamation point on their beatdown by drilling Fatu with the Shaker Heights Spike. Fytch took the mic and said that this ruthless aggression shown by the Beverlys will make them Tag Team Champions very soon! Crush was this week's guest on Friar Ferguson's Sermon interview show. Crush addressed the bounty placed on his head by Ted DiBiase and admitted that he didn't know who he could trust anymore. The big Hawaiian couldn't be sure who his friends are or who his enemies are, but refused to be intimidated by the Million Dollar Man. Suddenly, the Quebecers - led by Jimmy Hart - entered the arena and attacked Crush! The Mouth of the South was evidently after the cash that DiBiase is offering. Jacques and Pierre threw Crush into the ring and continued to do a number on him. They went for a double clothesline, but Crush ducked out of the way and floored the Quebecers with a double dropkick!! Crush clotheslined Pierre out of the ring and then press slammed Jacques over the top rope onto his partner at ringside!! Jimmy Hart and the Quebecers scurried to the back to lick their wounds, while Crush whipped the crowd into a frenzy!! Dynamite Kid pinned Tito Santana with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:06:59. Rating: 1/2 This was an uptempo, intense, hard-hitting performance from the Dynamite Kid, in his first outing as a singles performer. He completely outclassed former Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana in this contest. Dynamite avoided Santana's Mexican Hammer and almost decapitated Tito with a vicious hook clothesline! Dynamite then executed a superplex on Santana and put him away with a diving headbutt. While his new manager Tammy Fytch applauded his victory, Dynamite Kid took the mic after the match. He proclaimed that the Dynamite Kid was dead and from here on in wanted to be known by his real name, Tom Billington. Billington said he was on a mission to win singles gold and prove that he was the real talent in the British Bulldogs. Billington vowed to become the very first English WWF Champion. Razor Ramon was interviewed backstage by Gene Okerlund. The Intercontinental Champion addressed Scott Steiner's accusations that the Bad Guy has been dodging him. Ramon said that he can only defend the title against whomever the matchmakers put in front of him. However, the Bad Guy warned Steiner that when the two men do meet again, the Razor will cut him up!! Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan previewed the intriguing Tag Team Turmoil match, due to take place this weekend on Superstars, which will determine the number one contenders to the Tag Team Championship. The announcers deliberated over which six teams would feature in the contest. Just then, McMahon received word from Jack Tunney's office that the Beverly Brothers have been thrown out of Tag Team Turmoil as a consequence of their vicious attacks on the Headshrinkers in recent weeks!! Heenan thought he could heard Tammy Fytch screaming already! Handicap-Match: Big Van Vader defeated Duane Gill and Barry Dougherty when Vader pinned B. Dougherty with the Vader Bomb in 0:03:12. Rating: 3/4 After the match, Harley Race dragged out a bodybag from underneath the ring and Big Van Vader stuffed Barry Dougherty into it! Vader and Race were sending out a clear message to the Undertaker as the Mastodon nailed the helpless Dougherty with another Vader Bomb! Harley Race took the mic and proclaimed Vader to be the greatest athlete on the face of God's green earth! He claimed that the myth of the Deadman will be destroyed at SummerSlam. Big Van Vader yelled that The Undertaker has a date with destiny. Vader invited the Phenom to his White Castle of Fear at SummerSlam, where he promised to teach the pain game to The Undertaker! Circuit information: It is sure to be a legendary battle at SummerSlam when The Undertaker and Big Van Vader collide over the WWF Championship. The Undertaker made his title intentions clear at WrestleMania, while Vader finally realised his dream of becoming WWF Champion at the King of the Ring and isn't about to give up the title without a fight! Tammy Fytch has brought out a more vicious and diabolical side to the Beverly Brothers since they joined up with Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, but it has come at a price. The Beverlys have been kicked out of Tag Team Turmoil this weekend on Superstars due to their recent assaults on the Headshrinkers. The Headshrinkers themselves are unable to compete in Tag Team Turmoil thanks to Samu's ankle injury which was suffered at the hands of Beau and Blake. WWF President Jack Tunney decided to apply reciprocal justice in this situation. The Quebecers were unsuccessful at claiming Ted DiBiase's $50,000 bounty tonight, but from what we can gather there is no shortage of superstars queuing up to try and take out Crush. It is a momentous edition of WWF Superstars this weekend as the number one contenders to both the Tag Team Titles and the Intercontinental Title will be determined. The winners of the first ever Tag Team Turmoil match will earn the right to challenge the Hollywood Blonds for their gold, while Mr. Perfect and Tatanka will put their friendship aside to battle it out for a crack at Razor Ramon's Intercontinental strap!! Make sure you do not miss this action-packed show! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 09/18/10 at 16:41:23 WWF Superstars July 23rd, 1994 Ocean City, MD Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with footage from last week's main event, where Mr. Perfect and Tatanka defeated Scott Steiner and Bam Bam Bigelow in the Golden Dream Tag Team Match. Perfect, who had used questionable tactics to secure the win, then planted Tatanka with the Perfect Plex after the match. Perfect and Tatanka will square off in a singles contest tonight on Superstars, with the winner going on to challenge Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title next week. Before that though, the number one contenders to the WWF Tag Team Championship would be determined in the first-ever Tag Team Turmoil Match. Vince McMahon recapped the rules of this contest which will be contested gauntlet-style. Two teams start the match off, with a new team replacing whoever is eliminated; rinse and repeat until you've gone through six teams. [Tag Team Turmoil Match 1:] Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) when Luca pinned Sags after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:06:26. Rating: * 1/2 [Alundra interfered against Jerry Sags.] The Swiss Bobsleigh Team recorded their second straight victory over the Nasty Boys, but once again it was down to shady tactics. Sags had Luca set up for a pumphandle slam, but Alundra grabbed a hold of Sags' ankle to prevent the move from happening. With Sags distracted, Lars struck him in the back of the head with one of their bobsleigh helmets! Luca then fell on top of Sags for the three count. The Nasty Boys protested with the officials after the decision, but they were ultimately sent to the back. Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker entered the ring as Tag Team Turmoil continued. [Tag Team Turmoil Match 2:] Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) when Ferguson pinned Luca after an inside cradle in 0:04:23. Rating: 3/4* The Swiss Bobsleigh Team were on course for another win when The Nasty Boys came back out to ringside. Knobbs and Sags grabbed one of the bobsledders' helmets and blew snot into it, sending Lars and Luca into a rage! Friar Ferguson capitalised on the distraction, rolling up Luca for a popular three count!! Gary Hart then led out his Arabian Butchers for the third match in Tag Team Turmoil, while road agents prevented the Nasty Boys and the Swiss Bobsleigh Team from killing each other. [Tag Team Turmoil Match 3:] Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when Berzerker defeated Victor by countout in 0:03:44. Rating: 1/4 [Kimona interfered against The Berzerker.] [Owen Hart interfered against Manuel.] [Owen Hart interfered against Victor.] The Arabian Butchers wasted no time in taking Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker apart here, flattening them with avalanches in the corners. While Kimona took the referee, the Butchers threw the Berzerker to the outside and peeled back the ringside mats! Manuel and Victor set up the Berzerker for an assisted power bomb but before they could complete the sickening manoeuvre, Owen Hart arrived on the scene swinging a steel chair!! Owen struck the Butchers with a succession of chair shots until the Great Muta made the save for his stablemates! Owen and Muta fought all the way to the back, while the Berzerker rolled back into the ring. The official then counted the Butchers out, giving the Berzerker and Friar Ferguson their second win!! The result did not sit well with Gary Hart and the Arabian Butchers. Hart sent his henchmen back into the ring, where they assaulted Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker. The Butchers laid out the mad monk with a double spinebuster and then one of the twins connected with a diving legdrop. Manuel and Victor then power bombed the Berzerker and a twin scored with a moonsault from the top rope. Officials and road agents eventually managed to get the Butchers out of the ring, while the Quebecers emerged from the back for the fourth bout. Jacques and Pierre couldn't believe their luck as their opponents lay flat out on the canvas! [Tag Team Turmoil Match 4:] The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) defeated Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker when Pierre pinned Berzerker with the Cannonball in 0:01:05. Rating: As Jimmy Hart jumped around in delight at ringside, Jacques and Pierre quickly got rid of Friar Ferguson and turned their attention to the Berzerker. Jacques launched Pierre off the top rope onto the Berzerker with the Cannonball for the quick pin. The Quebecers threw The Berzerker out of the ring and readied themselves for the final participants in Tag Team Turmoil. The Smoking Gunns ran out from the back to an incredible ovation and the Quebecers attacked as soon as Billy and Bart hit the ring. The winners of this tag team match will be next in line for a Tag Team Title shot against the Hollywood Blonds!! [Tag Team Turmoil Match 5:] Number-One-Contenders-Match: The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated The Quebecers (Quebecer Jacques and Quebecer Pierre) when Bart Gunn pinned Pierre after the Sidewinder in 0:10:53. Rating: ** [Jimmy Hart interfered against Bart Gunn.] The Hollywood Blonds were watching on in the back as the Quebecers and the Smoking Gunns took it to each other for ten blistering minutes. Jimmy Hart's interference turned the tide on behalf of the Quebecers and Jacques and Pierre went after Bart Gunn's back. Billy pulled his brother Bart out of harm's way when the Quebecers went for the Cannonball and Pierre ended up winding himself. The Gunns quickly followed up with the Sidewinder and secured a Tag Team Title shot. While the Smoking Gunns revelled in their victory, the Quebecers had a serious verbal disagreement outside the ring. Pierre got in Jacques' face about the messed-up Cannonball and shoved him to the floor, before storming to the back. Jimmy Hart was doing his level best to diffuse the situation. Mr. Perfect and Tatanka were shown completing their final preparations in their locker rooms. Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Perfect's post-match attack on Tatanka following last week's bout. McMahon deemed it unnecessary, while Lawler thought it showed that Perfect is ready to stoop to any depths to get what he wants. Footage was shown of Shawn Michaels' assault on the Lightning Kid from last week's edition of Monday Night RAW. Michaels dropped the Kid chest-first on the steel steps and then piledrove him on the staircase. The Lightning Kid suffered a stinger as a result of this attack. WWF President Jack Tunney then announced that due to these reprehensible actions by the Heartbreak Kid, and in addition to Michaels pulling out of the Golden Dream Tag Team Match last week, Tunney was keeping HBK off the SummerSlam card. Michaels' recent controversial behaviour has cost him a big payday. Number-One-Contenders-Match: Mr. Perfect pinned Tatanka with a backslide in 0:14:38. Rating: ** Early on in this encounter, Mr. Perfect accidentally hiptossed Tatanka out of the ring to ringside. Perfect was chivalrous and opened the ropes for Tatanka to climb back into the ring, garnering a smattering of fans' applause. The two locked up again and seconds later Perfect took a tumble to the outside, this time a deliberate act on the part of Tatanka, who opened the ropes for Perfect to climb back in. An angry Perfect shoved Tatanka and punched him. From this point forward, Tatanka was the face and Perfect the heel in the eyes of the crowd. Tatanka and Perfect proceeded to have a phenomenal bout, with both superstars coming within an eyelash of the victory. Perfect scored near falls off a missile dropkick and a bridging back suplex, while the Native American fired back with a Tomahawk chop off the top rope and a flying cross body press. Tatanka attempted a neckbreaker, but Perfect countered with a backslide. Perfect hooked the rope with his foot for extra leverage and it was enough to keep Tatanka's shoulders down for the three count! The fans had completely turned on Mr. Perfect after he had blatantly cheated to defeat Tatanka. Tatanka protested with the official afterwards, while Perfect headed back to his dressing room looking extremely pleased with himself. Perfect will now face Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title on next week's edition of Superstars! Circuit information: Razor Ramon will have to be extremely wary next week when he defends his Intercontinental Title against Mr. Perfect, who appears to have returned to his "salty" past. Perfect has had no qualms bending the rules over the last two weeks in order to succeed, even if that has meant screwing over his friend Tatanka in the process. Tatanka was furious with the outcome of his match with Perfect this evening, devastated that he was cheated out of the chance to reclaim the Intercontinental Championship. Perfect, on the other hand, is focused on capturing the title for a third time. Congratulations to the Smoking Gunns who were victorious tonight in the first ever Tag Team Turmoil Match and earned a Tag Team Title shot against the Hollywood Blonds. We can exclusively confirm that this bout will take place in five weeks at SummerSlam. The Turmoil bout was a tumultuous affair, in which the issue between the Swiss Bobsleigh Team and the Nasty Boys continued and Owen Hart returned, costing the Arabian Butchers their contest with Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker. Following the show, Quebecer Pierre gave notice. We wish him the best in his future endeavours. Join us this coming week for Monday Night RAW, where Scott Steiner, Marty Jannetty and Man Mountain Rock are all set for action! Plus, ahead of their WWF Title showdown at SummerSlam, The Undertaker has some words for Big Van Vader! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/03/10 at 23:23:46 Monday Night RAW July 25th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Vince McMahon welcomed viewers to the show with the news that The Undertaker would have comments later in the broadcast directed at WWF Champion Big Van Vader regarding their title match at SummerSlam. McMahon also revealed that KimChee was going after Ted DiBiase's bounty when he sends in his man Mantaur to take out Crush tonight! Scott Steiner pinned Tony DeVito with the SSD in 0:03:06. Rating: * 1/4 Scott Steiner took apart Tony DeVito with ease and put him away with the dangerous Steiner Screwdriver. As DeVito was helped to the back, Tammy Fytch took the mic and addressed Jack Tunney's decision to remove the Beverly Brothers from Tag Team Turmoil last week. Fytch promised that the World Wrestling Federation's conspiracy against Fytch Wrestling Enterprises would fail and soon all her men would hold championship gold! Marty Jannetty pinned Brian Walsh with the Rocker Dropper in 0:03:51. Rating: ** 1/4 Harvey Wippleman - still sporting the oversized noseguard - wandered out to ringside during Marty Jannetty's match-up. After Jannetty emerged victorious with the Rocker Dropper, Wippleman jumped up onto the apron and got in Jannetty's face. Jannetty began laughing at Wippleman's nose protection, which provoked the puny manager into slapping him! Wippleman sprinted to the back and Jannetty took off after him! However, as Jannetty approached the entrance curtain, he was floored by a huge clothesline from The Warlord! The Warlord dragged the dazed Jannetty back to the ring, while Wippleman's other charges, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow, joined proceedings. Warlord, Bomb and Bigelow did a number on Jannetty, before Warlord locked Jannetty in the full nelson. Wippleman talked trash to Jannetty, who was helpless, trapped in the painful submission hold. Warlord effortlessly tossed Jannetty to the mat as Wippleman led his men to the back, pleased with their evening's work. Another vignette aired promoting the debut of Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly, in which Holly vowed that nobody in the WWF is going to stop Sparky Plugg! Holly will make his debut next week on Monday Night RAW. Crush pinned Mantaur after a powerslam in 0:03:14. Rating: 1/4* KimChee's dreams of becoming $50,000 richer were dashed by Crush, who made short work of Mantaur. Crush overwhelmed the man from Crete with a succession of bodyslams and then pinned Mantaur with a powerslam. The Pennsylvania crowd absolutely love the big Hawaiian. Ted DiBiase, who had watched the previous contest in his private locker room, was shown shaking his head in disgust. Man Mountain Rock made Phil Apollo submit to the Whammy Bar in 0:02:56. Rating: 1/2* Man Mountain Rock chalked up another victory this evening as he made Phil Apollo give up to the Whammy Bar. However, as he prepared to celebrate his win by playing his electric guitar, he was interrupted by "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett objected to Rock's music talents and said his guitar playing sounded like cats screeching! Jarrett revealed that on Monday Night RAW in two weeks' time, he will be performing his brand new single, "With My Baby Tonight", live! Jarrett invited Man Mountain Rock along so he could listen to some proper music for a change, as Rock looked on in disbelief! Mr. Perfect cut a promo ahead of his Intercontinental Championship Match with champion Razor Ramon this weekend on Superstars. Perfect addressed the complaints regarding his recent change of attitude. Perfect claimed that he had tried to be a nice guy, but it had gotten him nowhere. He stated that he received no title shots in the last 18 months and it had been time for a change. Perfect admitted that it felt good to bend the rules again and it will feel even better when he becomes Intercontinental Champion for the third time this weekend. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan discussed the Intercontinental Title Match between Razor Ramon and Mr. Perfect. Heenan said that he was starting to remember why he used to like Perfect! Great Muta pinned Kevin Kelly with the Moonsault Press in 0:05:45. Rating: ** Kevin Kelly was not intimidated by the rest of Black Friday Management surrounding the ring as he took the fight to the Great Muta. However, Muta has been on a roll as of late and Kelly had no answer to Muta's explosive execution. Muta sent Kelly to the floor with an enzuigiri and then nailed him with a plancha. Back in the ring, Muta scored with a handspring elbow and finished Kelly with the moonsault. Owen Hart made his way out after the match, microphone in hand. The Arabian Butchers, still mad that Owen had cost them their spot in Tag Team Turmoil this past weekend on Superstars, started to go after him, but Gary Hart held them back. Hart was intrigued as to what the Rocket had to say. Owen was infuriated that Black Friday Management had made a statement at his expense when they first appeared in the WWF and as payback, he wanted at match with the Great Muta at SummerSlam. Gary Hart warned Owen to be careful what he wishes for. Owen smiled and said he would consider that to be a "yes". The show closed with footage of The Undertaker and Paul Bearer in a graveyard. The Deadman said that the reckoning will soon be upon us and darkness will seize the land. 'Taker vowed to strip Big Van Vader of what he holds dear and devour his soul. He said that he is the reaper of men, the chaser of souls, the weaver of nightmares and the heart of darkness. The Undertaker warned Vader that for the Mastodon, there is no mercy, no hope and no escape! Circuit information: Mr. Perfect has been a frustrated man as of late. His loss to Barry Windham at WrestleMania and his failure to progress beyond the quarter finals in the WWF Title Tournament at the King of the Ring have hit him hard, the consequences of which have seen him revert to the rule-breaking Perfect from the early 90s. Perfect feels that this new demeanour will help his career reach the heights of several years ago, starting with capturing the Intercontinental Championship from Razor Ramon on Superstars. Find out if he is successful by tuning in this weekend! Another embittered personality is Tammy Fytch, who is protesting to anybody who will listen that WWF management is trying to hold back her stable, Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Fytch feels aggrieved that Scott Steiner was not named the number one contender to the Intercontinental Title despite defeating champion Razor Ramon at the King of the Ring and she was angered further when WWF President Jack Tunney pulled the Beverly Brothers from Tag Team Turmoil as punishment for two brutal attacks on the Headshrinkers. Mantaur was unsuccessful in claiming the bounty placed on the head of Crush by the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. DiBiase has been left exasperated by the efforts of the superstars who have tried to take Crush out so far. Who will be next to try and make themselves $50,000 richer? Jeff Jarrett interrupted Man Mountain Rock's post-match celebrations in order to excitedly announce that his live singing debut is set to take place in two weeks on Monday Night RAW. Tennessee Lee claims that Double J is the world's greatest singer and with the Ain't I Great Tour in full swing, Jarrett will have the chance to display his singing talents to the world. Harvey Wippleman gained a measure of revenge on Marty Jannetty this evening as he led his stable in a three-on-one beatdown on the former Rocker. Wippleman blames Jannetty for disfiguring him and breaking his nose and Bam Bam Bigelow, Adam Bomb and the Warlord really put a hurting on Jannetty as payback. Jannetty was checked out by doctors after the show and thankfully no long term damage was done. Speaking of Harvey Wippleman's group, Adam Bomb has viewed the Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly vignettes with interest and has challenged the newcomer for next week. We can confirm that the match is now official and Holly will have his work cut out as he faces the Creation of Devastation in his debut match. Bomb has vowed to ensure that Sparky Plugg's career hits the skids on the very first corner! Owen Hart is proving to be a thorn in the side of Black Friday Management and has challenged Great Muta to a match at SummerSlam. Sources close to Black Friday suggest that Gary Hart considers the Rocket to be a "minor irritation". However, this match-up - which has the potential to be a show stealer - is yet to be confirmed for the hottest night of the summer. Don't miss Superstars this weekend where, in addition to the Intercontinental Title Match between Razor Ramon and Mr. Perfect, exciting young Canadians The Thrillseekers will make their long-awaited debut! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/10/10 at 21:09:11 WWF Superstars July 30th, 1994 Ocean City, MD Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with a promo from Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon, ahead of his title defence against Mr. Perfect in the main event of the show. Ramon talked about Perfect's recent attitude change, in which Perfect has showed that he is willing to stab friends in the back and stoop to any level to get what he wants. Razor remarked that while this makes Perfect very dangerous, there is only one Bad Guy in the WWF. Ramon closed by warning Perfect that if he wants the gold, then he's got a fight tonight! The Birdman pinned Tim McNeany with the One Fell Swoop in 0:04:26. Rating: 3/4* The bizarre Birdman dominated his opponent with headbutts and a flying dropkick, before laying him out with a brain buster. That was the setup for his One Feel Swoop springboard diving headbutt, which was enough for the count of three. After the contest, WWF Hardcore Champion Duke "The Dumpster" Droese marched out to ringside. Droese was the victim of a bird attack two weeks ago on Superstars and cuts and scratches were still clearly visible on The Dumpster's face and arms. Droese attacked the Birdman as he left the ring and the two men fought to the back! Big Boss Man pinned Larry Croy with the Boss Man Slam in 0:03:15. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Duke Droese and The Birdman were still fighting! The Birdman side-stepped a charge from Droese and the garbageman collided hard with a garage door!! The Birdman then lifted Droese over his shoulder and hoisted him into a giant dumpster! The Birdman called out and almost instantly a flock of birds flew into the dumpster, attacking Droese!! The Birdman cackled as Droese dragged himself out of the dumpster and fled from the bloodthirsty flock! Footage was shown of the Nasty Boys' two recent defeats to the Swiss Bobsleigh Team. Knobbs and Sags challenged Lars and Luca to one more match next week with the stipulation that if the Nasties lose, they will leave the World Wrestling Federation!! Knobbs threatened to whoop Lars and Luca's Swiss cheese butts all the way back to Switzerland. The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Reno Riggins and Chris Duffy when L. Storm pinned C. Duffy after the Sudden Impact in 0:05:35. Rating: 1/4 The charismatic, exciting young team of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm, The Thrillseekers, were on fire tonight in their WWF debut. Their opponents had no answer to Storm and Jericho's high-flying, high-risk manoeuvres and went down to a picture-perfect top-rope double dropkick. The fans were going wild for the Thrillseekers! Gene Okerlund presented the first SummerSlam report ahead of the pay-per-view on August 29th. Okerlund introduced footage of the Smoking Gunns' victory in Tag Team Turmoil last week on Superstars, which has earned them a Tag Team Title shot at SummerSlam. WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds then cut a promo, claiming that they were not worried about the challenge of the Gunns. Steve Austin said that defeating the cowboys would be the next step to immortality for the tag team of the 90s! Razor Ramon pinned Mr. Perfect after an inside cradle in 0:13:16. Rating: * 1/4 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) Razor Ramon controlled this encounter in the early going, but Mr. Perfect turned the tide by raking The Bad Guy's eyes. Perfect worked over Ramon's neck, but Ramon managed to fight out of a neck vice and punished Perfect with a fallaway slam. Ramon tried to put Perfect away with the Razor's Edge, but Perfect slid out of the hold and shoved Ramon into the referee! Ramon appeared to strike heads with the official and with the Intercontinental Champion dazed, Perfect rolled outside and grabbed a steel chair! Perfect measured up the Bad Guy and prepared to take a swing, but Tatanka ran out from the back and snatched the chair out of Perfect's hands!! Perfect and Tatanka argued on the ring apron as Ramon began to stir. Perfect punched Tatanka off the ring apron, but was then rolled up by Ramon as the referee recovered in time to count the fall! Razor Ramon retains the Intercontinental Championship!! As Razor Ramon celebrated another successful title defence, a furious Mr. Perfect went after Tatanka. Tatanka was waiting for him though and grabbed a hold of Perfect's legs, dragging him out of the ring! Perfect and Tatanka traded blows on the outside as the locker room emptied in an attempt to separate the two men. Tatanka and Perfect were embroiled in a frenetic pull-apart brawl as Superstars went off-air! Circuit information: The feud between former friends Mr. Perfect and Tatanka has been getting more and more heated with each passing week. At the climax of tonight's show, the dispute boiled over and the two men had to be separated by a group of wrestlers, road agents and officials. Tatanka decided to interject himself in Perfect's Intercontinental Championship Match with Razor Ramon when Perfect tried to use a steel chair on the champion. Perfect had taken several shortcuts at the expense of the Native American in order to secure this title shot, but Tatanka wasn't about to sit back and let Perfect screw the Bad Guy out of the gold. However, Perfect now blames Tatanka for his failure to land a third Intercontinental Championship. WWF President Jack Tunney needs to act quickly in order to settle this conflict before somebody gets seriously hurt. Duke Droese had to be treated for lacerations after the show as he suffered his second bird attack at the hands of The Birdman. The Birdman has made it clear that he wants Droese's Hardcore Title and he certainly has the Dumpster's undivided attention now. The Thrillseekers exploded into the tag team division of the WWF this evening with an action-packed debut full of jaw-dropping aerial moves. Chris Jericho and Lance Storm remind a lot of fans of the magic that the Rockers once had and there is no reason why they cannot go on to be just as successful. While one team's WWF career is just beginning, another may be drawing to a close. If the Nasty Boys lose next week against the Swiss Bobsleigh Team, they are done with the company! Lars and Luca would love nothing more to send the Nasties packing and the stakes couldn't be higher on next week's show! Before that though, tune in to Monday Night RAW this week where the number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles, the Smoking Gunns, will be in action. Billy and Bart will be keen to continue their momentum heading into SummerSlam. Also, two sport superstar Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly makes his debut and he couldn't have a tougher opponent as he goes one-on-one with the Creation of Devastation, Adam Bomb! If that's not enough, we'll find out which superstar will be next to try and claim Ted DiBiase's bounty by taking out Crush! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 10/14/10 at 22:59:25 Monday Night RAW August 1st, 1994 Beeghly Center, Youngstown, OH Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with Scotty Flamingo standing in the centre of the ring with a mic. Flamingo called out Crush so that he could attempt to claim Ted DiBiase's $50,000 bounty by taking out the big Hawaiian. Flamingo was planning to organise the world's biggest pool party with the cash! Crush was only too happy to oblige. Crush pinned Scotty Flamingo after the Hawaiian Smasher in 0:03:38. Rating: * 3/4 Crush cut through Scotty Flamingo quickly here tonight and in truth Flamingo never looked like he had a prayer of going home $50,000 richer. Crush nailed Flamingo with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, then hoisted him up onto his shoulders and drilled him with the match-winning Hawaiian Smasher. An exasperated Ted DiBiase threw his hands up in disgust backstage and headed out to the arena as the show cut to commercial! When Monday Night RAW returned, Ted DiBiase was at ringside, ready to confront Crush. DiBiase said that he was sick and tired of watching people fail to take out the big Hawaiian. The Million Dollar Man said that next week he was sending someone to take out Crush who he knows will get the job done - himself!! Crush told DiBiase to bring it, but the Million Dollar Man stormed off to the back! Backstage, Gene Okerlund interviewed Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly, who makes his debut tonight. Holly acknowledged that he has his work cut out against Adam Bomb later in the show, but said he was up to the challenge and would go full throttle to ensure he kicked off his WWF career with a win! The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn) defeated Mike Bell and Derek Domino when Bart Gunn pinned D. Domino after the Sidewinder in 0:05:27. Bart Gunn injured his right knee. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: ** After the match, The Smoking Gunns were attacked by their SummerSlam opponents, WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds! Steve Austin and Brian Pillman laid out the Gunns and then destroyed their cowboy hats to add further insult to injury. Friar Ferguson was out ready to present another edition of his interview segment, The Sermon. However, before he had the chance to introduce his guest, Black Friday Management made their way out. Gary Hart threatened the mad monk if he didn't leave and with Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers as back up, Ferguson thought better of it and blessed the group before he left. Gary Hart addressed Owen Hart's challenge to the Great Muta and accepted on behalf of Muta, saying that the bout would take place at SummerSlam and adding that a great general knows when to choose his battles. Hart chillingly warned the Rocket that every war has its casualties. Before Gary Hart could continue, the crowd rose to their feet as Friar Ferguson returned to the ring, but this time he had Owen Hart and the Berzerker by his side. The trio sent Black Friday Management packing, much to the delight of the fans! Gary Hart convinced his men to retreat and warned that they will strike down the three men in the ring when the time is right! Jeff Jarrett pinned P.J. Walker after a DDT in 0:06:35. Rating: * 3/4 The story of this match-up was that young P.J. Walker came close to scoring a huge upset win over Jeff Jarrett on several occasions. Walker picked up near falls with a Frankensteiner, a flying bulldog and a twisting bodypress. Despite putting in a wonderful gutsy effort, Walker fell to a vicious DDT from Double J. After the bout, Vince McMahon put over the tremendous performance from P.J. Walker. Bobby Heenan surmised that the only reason Walker looked good tonight was because Jeff Jarrett has his mind on other things, namely his live singing debut next week on Monday Night RAW. The show returned with footage from three weeks ago when Shawn Michaels injured the Lightning Kid with a piledriver on the steel steps. It was partly due to this sickening assault that WWF President Jack Tunney punished Michaels by keeping him off the SummerSlam card. The Heartbreak Kid then made his way out to the ring wearing a suit and accompanied by Liz, who had a bag in her hand. Michaels took the mic and invited the Lightning Kid out to the ring, as he had something to say to him. Lightning Kid, who is still feeling the effects of the piledriver, cautiously walked down to the ring. The Kid rubbed his neck as Michaels humbly apologised for his actions. HBK said that he had got caught up in the moment and it was unacceptable. To show how sincere he was, Michaels said that he had gotten the Kid a gift. Michaels took the bag from Liz and presented it to the Lightning Kid. The Kid opened the bag and looked disgusted when he pulled out a packet of twinkles!! Michaels and Liz burst out laughing and HBK started cracking jokes regarding the Kid's youthful appearance! The Kid threw the twinkles down and went after Michaels, but he and Liz bailed out, still cackling. Michaels' expression changed quickly though when Razor Ramon emerged from the back! Ramon forced Michaels back into the ring, where the Lightning Kid unloaded with a barrage of kicks in the corner! The crowd exploded as the Kid took the twinkies and shoved them in Michaels' face!! Razor and the Kid celebrated while a humiliated Shawn Michaels stumbled to the back, wiping delicious vanilla cream from his face! Bob Holly pinned Adam Bomb after an inside cradle in 0:06:12. Rating: NASCAR driver turned wrestler Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly used his speed to get the better of Adam Bomb in the early-going of his WWF debut, but Bomb managed to cut him off and dominate with power moves. Holly came back with a beautiful dropkick, but missed a diving kneedrop off the top rope that he calls the Fender Bender. Bomb set Holly up for the Atom Smasher, but was distracted by Marty Jannetty coming down to ringside and getting involved with the Warlord. The Creation of Devastation was about to interject himself as Jannetty and the Warlord fought outside the ring, but he was caught in a roll-up by Holly for the three count!! Bob Holly defeats Adam Bomb in his WWF debut!! The crowd came unglued at the shock win, but their delight turned to disgust as Adam Bomb floored Bob Holly with a lariat. Bam Bam Bigelow then hit the ring and he joined his stablemates Bomb and the Warlord in beating down Holly and Marty Jannetty, while Harvey Wippleman directed traffic. Bomb laid out Holly with the Atom Smasher, while Bigelow and Warlord launched Jannetty out of the ring with a double military press slam!! The show closed with Harvey Wippleman standing triumphant alongside his men in the centre of the ring. Circuit information: I don't think anybody thought for a second that Shawn Michaels' apology to the Lightning Kid tonight was anything other than disingenuous. Michaels was clearly only out to embarrass the Kid, but one man who wasn't about to let this happen to his friend was Razor Ramon. Thanks to the Bad Guy it was the Heartbreak Kid who ended up embarrassed, much to the joy of the fans in attendance! On the subject of the Lightning Kid, he is scheduled to return to action following his neck injury shortly. Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly pulled off an upset when he defeated Adam Bomb in his debut match, but it was a brawl on the outside of the ring between Marty Jannetty and the Warlord that caused the Creation of Devastation to take his eye off the ball. Jannetty had been beaten down by Harvey Wippleman's stable last week and was out to get some retribution. However, it was Wippleman who had the last laugh as Bomb, Warlord and Bam Bam Bigelow laid out Jannetty and Holly. We can exclusively reveal that a tag team match has been set up for next week on Monday Night RAW, which will see Jannetty and Holly team up to do battle with the formidable team of Bomb and Bigelow! Scotty Flamingo was the latest in a growing line of unsuccessful bounty hunters tonight as Crush brushed him aside with ease, much to the chagrin of Ted DiBiase. The Million Dollar Man has decided to do his own dirty work as he faces Crush one-on-one on next week's show! Great Muta vs Owen Hart is official for SummerSlam. This could be the sleeper match of the show. The Hollywood Blonds sent a message to the challengers for their Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam, the Smoking Gunns, by assaulting Billy and Bart after their match tonight and stomping on their cowboy hats. There are unconfirmed reports that Bart Gunn suffered a knee injury in the attack - stay tuned for more information. Here's how the card is shaping up so far for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!! WWF Championship Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker WWF World Tag Team Championship Match** The Hollywood Blonds vs The Smoking Gunns Owen Hart vs Great Muta Make sure you tune in to Superstars this weekend, where "Dynamite" Tom Billington will be in action and in a huge singles encounter, Tatanka will battle Scott Steiner! Plus, in a tag team attraction, the Nasty Boys square off against the Swiss Bobsleigh Team and remember, if the Nasties are defeated, they will leave the World Wrestling Federation! Till then, so long everybody!!
Unright	Posted on 10/16/10 at 20:28:38 I'm going to start campaigning for a Bob Holly & Mack McCall tag team. It's meant to be, y'know..
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 11/06/10 at 23:13:45 WWF Superstars August 6th, 1994 Ocean City, MD Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with promos from Tatanka and Scott Steiner ahead of their bout in the main event of tonight's edition of Superstars. Tom Billington pinned David Thornberg with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:03:18 . Rating: * 3/4 After the match, Tom Billington took the mic and said that after running Davey Boy Smith out of the WWF, he had still one other objective he wanted to achieve. Billingham complained that he was sick and tired of hearing about how Smith was a former Intercontinental Champion and claimed that he was more than capable of holding singles gold in the company. Billington challenged Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon to put the title on the line against him. Dynamite promised that when he wins the title, he will defend the strap against his stablemate Scott Steiner, unlike Ramon who Billington claimed was ducking Steiner. Billington said that he and Steiner would treat the world to a mat classic. Bob Backlund was going out for revenge tonight against Bad News Brown. Footage was shown of Bad News' return from suspension several weeks ago, where Brown interrupted Backlund's match and attacked the former WWF Champion. Bad News Brown pinned Bob Backlund with the Ghetto Blaster in 0:04:14. Rating: ** 1/4 After the match, Bad News Brown hurled Bob Backlund out of the ring and then rolled out, grabbed the timekeeper's chair and returned to the squared circle with it. Brown sat down and refused to leave until Jack Tunney came out to speak with him! Brown said that there would be no more matches tonight until the WWF President explained why he had overlooked Bad News as of late. The fans were jeering Bad News incessantly, upset that he had in effect taken the show hostage. Big Boss Man's music hit and the law man from Cobb County, Georgia, who had a match scheduled up next, made his entrance. Boss Man sprinted down to the ring swinging his nightstick, which forced Bad News to flee! Boss Man gave Brown a warning as Bad News stormed to the back! Big Boss Man pinned The Intruder with the Boss Man Slam in 0:01:16. Rating: * 1/4 After the Big Boss Man chalked up a quick victory, Bad News Brown returned to ringside and seized possession of the Boss Man's nightstick! Brown clobbered Boss Man from behind as the former corrections officer read the poor Intruder his rights! Bad News began choking Boss Man out with his own nightstick and talked trash while Boss Man coughed and spluttered. Referees and road agents tried to enter the ring, but Bad News threatened them with the stick. Bad News Brown then left the squared circle, still in a foul mood but also still in control of the nightstick. Footage aired of the Swiss Bobsleigh Team's previous two controversial victories over The Nasty Boys. If Lars and Luca can secure another win over the Nasties tonight, then Knobbs and Sags are done with the WWF. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) when Luca pinned Sags in 0:06:14. Rating: * 1/2 The Nasty Boys had victory in their sights when they drilled Luca with the Trip to Nastyville. However, while Lars distracted the official, Alundra entered the ring and scratched at Sags' eyes, who was covering the prone Luca. Knobbs grabbed Alundra by the hair and much to the fans' delight, Alundra was subjected to the Pit Stop!! As the referee attempted to eject the hysterical Alundra from the ring, Lars nailed Knobbs and Sags with a couple of stiff shots from the bobsleigh helmet! Lars then dragged the legal man Luca on top of Sags for the three count!! Lars and Luca celebrated with their trademark gusto after the match, while Alundra seemed more concerned with washing her face! Scott Steiner defeated Tatanka with a belly-to-belly superplex in 0:09:58. Rating: *** 1/4 [Mr. Perfect interfered against Tatanka.] Tatanka ascended the turnbuckles in order to finish off Scott Steiner when Mr. Perfect decided to wander out from the back. Tatanka pointed at him and warned him to stay back, but as soon as Tammy Fytch distracted the official Perfect threw his towel in the Native American's face!! Tatanka lost his balance on the top rope and Scott Steiner took full advantage, sending the Native American crashing to the mat with an incredible overhead belly-to-belly suplex off the top turnbuckle! Steiner then covered for the three count and secured a huge victory for himself. After the match, Mr. Perfect spat his gum in Tatanka's face. The show closed with a gloating Mr. Perfect standing triumphant over the Native American. Circuit information: Scott Steiner scored a gigantic win tonight on Superstars over the former Intercontinental Champion Tatanka. Steiner may have had some assistance from Mr. Perfect to get the job done, but nobody can deny that Steiner has been on fire since entering the Federation's singles ranks and hooking up with Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. WWF officials are quick to reward good work and the title shot that Steiner craves so much could be just around the corner. Mr. Perfect felt that Tatanka cost him his chance of winning the Intercontinental Title last week and tonight he decided to cost the Native American his match with Scott Steiner. The feud between these former friends hots up with each passing week and with each superstar now getting involved in the other's matches, this situation needs to be resolved as soon as possible. After the show, Tom Billington moved quickly to dispel murmurs of dissention within Fytch Wrestling Enterprises by awarding the first Intercontinental Title shot to his stablemate, Scott Steiner. Billington has promised to treat the world to a mat classic when he and Steiner lock up. But hang on a second - isn't Dynamite getting a bit ahead of himself? Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon hasn't even accepted Billington's challenge yet!! The comical Swiss Bobsleigh Team proved tonight that they are not to be taken lightly as they ended the WWF careers of former Tag Team Champions The Nasty Boys by recording their third straight victory over Knobbs and Sags. Bad News Brown decided to hold up tonight's show in order to vent his frustrations with the company, but normal service was resumed when the Big Boss Man showed up and sent Brown on his way. An angered Bad News returned later in the show and assaulted the Boss Man with the former corrections officer's own nightstick. Luckily, the Boss Man was not seriously injured in the attack and when questioned after the show, Boss Man promised to bring Bad News to justice. Make sure you tune in to Monday Night RAW this coming week, which will feature the live singing debut of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett!! Jarrett will perform his new hit single, "With My Baby Tonight", live on the show and we will all have the chance to judge if he really is as good a singer and entertainer as he brags he is! Also on the show, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow face Marty Jannetty and Bob Holly in tag team action, WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds will be the guests on the King's Court, plus Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase has vowed to take out Crush! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 11/28/10 at 20:45:52 Monday Night RAW August 8th, 1994 Beeghly Center, Youngstown, OH Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with a determined Crush standing in the centre of the ring. Crush called out the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, saying that it was time to finish things between them. Crush added that all the nonsense with the bounty ends tonight and he demanded that DiBiase come out and face him one-on-one, man to man! The Million Dollar Man's music hit and DiBiase made his way down the aisle. DiBiase began slowly removing his gold-studded suit outside the ring while Crush fired himself up, ready for war. DiBiase then began cackling that trademark evil laugh. A confused Crush turned around straight into a big boot from the returning Barry Windham, Ted DiBiase's bodyguard! Windham had been sidelined as a result of an elbow injury suffered at the hands of Crush just over a month ago and he was back for revenge tonight! DiBiase dragged Crush back to his feet and held him in place for a vicious lariat by The Widowmaker! Windham then removed some of the protective padding at ringside and drove Crush down onto the concrete with a gutwrench suplex! Officials and road agents managed to get Windham and DiBiase away from the scene. Crush required assistance in returning to the backstage area. Backstage, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett was preparing for his live singing debut. Jarrett was gargling water and making sure that his throat was in good condition. Gene Okerlund presented another SummerSlam report in which he revealed that a singles match between Tatanka and Mr. Perfect had been signed for the pay-per-view. This was followed by a promo from Tatanka in which the Native American admitted that he had made a mistake when he underestimated the depths Perfect was willing to go to win a match. Tatanka vowed to not make the same mistake at SummerSlam. Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Bob Holly and Marty Jannetty when A. Bomb pinned Jannetty with the Atom Smasher in 0:11:17. Rating: * 1/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Marty Jannetty.] The team of Bob Holly and Marty Jannetty used their superior speed and quickness to frustrate their larger, much powerful opponents. However, Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow managed to isolate Holly from his partner and punish him. Bomb was particularly vicious towards Sparky Plugg after his embarrassing defeat last week. Holly and Jannetty fought back though, with Sparky Plugg taking out Bigelow at ringside with a plancha. Jannetty went to the top rope to finish off Bomb, but Harvey Wippleman interfered and grabbed his foot. Jannetty kicked him off but the delay was to prove costly as he missed the subsequent flying fistdrop. Bomb then planted Jannetty with the Atom Smasher for the three count. After the match, Adam Bomb demanded that The Warlord and Bam Bam Bigelow bring Bob Holly back into the ring for more punishment. Bomb gave Holly the Atom Smasher and then dragged him back up for another. However, a chair-swinging Max Moon brought the beatdown to an end and sent Harvey Wippleman's men packing! In the back, Jeff Jarrett was chatting to his backing singers, reassuring them and telling them not to be nervous. Footage was shown of Tom Billington's challenge to Razor Ramon from this past weekend on Superstars. Razor Ramon then cut a promo on Billington in which he accepted the challenge and said he would defend the Intercontinental Title against him this weekend on Superstars. Ramon promised that Scott Steiner will think twice about challenging The Bad Guy again when he sees what he does to his stablemate! WWF Tag Team Champions the Hollywood Blonds were the guests this week on the King's Court. With Jerry Lawler relaxing on his throne and Steve Austin and Brian Pillman sat in their custom-made director's chairs, the three men gloated over the Blonds' attack on the Smoking Gunns last week where they destroyed Billy and Bart's cowboy hats. The Gunns came out to interrupt proceedings and addressed the Blonds' claims that the aren't scared of the Gunns. Billy Gunn said that if this is the case, then why attack them from behind last week? Billy added that Austin and Pillman are the ones that should be scared, as the Gunns are going to take their titles at SummerSlam! Billy and Bart then hit the ring and brawl broke out, in which the Gunns sent the Tag Team Champions out of the ring. The Gunns turned their attention to the director's chairs and smashed them into pieces, leaving the Blonds horrified! In the arena, Jeff Jarrett's roadie did a final mic check before Double J's live singing debut, which was scheduled after the break. Tennessee Lee introduced Jeff Jarrett onto the stage for the live performance of his hit single, "With My Baby Tonight". Jarrett was greeted by a chorus of boos as he strutted up to the mic. Double J said he would show why he is considered to be the world's greatest singer and the world's greatest entertainer. Jarrett said he proved everyone wrong who said he couldn't make it as a country music star. Double J checked with his roadie that everything was in place before preparing to sing. Jarrett started to grow frustrated with the negative reaction he was getting and demanded for quiet so that he could begin singing. The boos grew louder, while Jarrett again ordered silence! Vince McMahon thought that Double J was stalling. Finally, the band started to play, but before Jarrett had the chance to sing his first note, he was cut off by the strains of an electric guitar! Man Mountain Rock had appeared in the arena and he was rocking the house!! Jarrett and Tennessee Lee were apoplectic with rage!! Jarrett stormed off the stage in fury while Rock continued to thrill the crowd with his guitar playing!! Circuit information: "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham returned tonight on Monday Night RAW, jumping Crush before the big Hawaiian's match with Ted DiBiase could get underway. It was Crush who had put Windham on the shelf with an elbow injury over a month ago and ever since then the Million Dollar Man had offered up $50,000 to anyone who could take out Crush as revenge for DiBiase's bodyguard getting injured. Frustrated with watching superstar after superstar fail to collect, DiBiase decided to get the job done himself and challenged Crush to a match. However, it all a set-up for the return of The Widowmaker, and he and Windham brutally assaulted Crush on this evening's show. Crush suffered some nasty bruising to his hip but thankfully there was no internal damage done. Another man in the wars is Bart Gunn. Bart injured his knee on last week's show and he aggravated the injury in the Smokin' Gunns' scuffle with the Hollywood Blonds tonight. Bart is confident that he will be ready to go when the Gunns challenge the Blonds for the Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam. Interference from Harvey Wippleman helped his men Adam Bomb and Bam Bam Bigelow chalk up a victory tonight over Marty Jannetty and Bob Holly. However, as The Warlord joined Bomb and Bigelow in inflicting more damage after the bell, Max Moon hit the ring to make the save. It was supposed to be the greatest night of Jeff Jarrett's life, but tonight his long-awaited live singing debut was ruined by Man Mountain Rock. It is well known in the locker room that Jarrett's comments about Rock's style of music did not go down well with the man who hails from the State of Euphoria and this evening Man Mountain Rock decided to give Double J a special performance up-close! Here's how the card is shaping up so far for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!! WWF Championship Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker WWF World Tag Team Championship Match** The Hollywood Blonds vs The Smoking Gunns Mr. Perfect vs Tatanka Owen Hart vs Great Muta This weekend's edition of WWF Superstars promises a big night of action. The trio of Great Muta and the Arabian Butchers from Black Friday Management battle the team of Owen Hart, Friar Ferguson and the Berzerker in six man action, plus Razor Ramon will defend the Intercontinental Championship against "Dynamite" Tom Billington! Make sure you don't miss it!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/01/10 at 22:41:24 WWF Superstars August 13th, 1994 Civic Center, Wheeling, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon and "Dynamite" Tom Billington, along with Tammy Fytch. The Intercontinental Title is on the line in our main event tonight! Black Friday Management (Great Muta, Manuel and Victor) defeated Friar Ferguson, Owen Hart and The Berzerker when Manuel pinned Berzerker after a spinebuster slam in 0:08:35. Rating: * 1/4 [Gary Hart and Kimona interfered against Owen Hart.] This week's edition of Superstars got off to a wild start with this six man tag team contest. Late in the bout, Owen Hart and the Great Muta - who are set to face off at SummerSlam in just over two weeks - brawled down the aisle, which distracted the official from events going on inside the ring. The Berzerker knocked legal man Victor out of the squared circle with a boot to the head, but the Arabian Butchers pulled a switcheroo and Manuel rocked the Berzerker with a spinebuster for the pin. Owen Hart and the Great Muta had to be separated backstage. Gene Okerlund presented a SummerSlam report in which he announced that Crush will battle Barry Windham in a Stretcher Match at the pay-per-view. In this particular match type, there are no disqualifications, pinfalls, count-outs or submissions. The only way to win is to beat your opponent until the other man can no longer fight back. The wrestler must then place their opponent onto an ambulance gurney and push the gurney out of the arena. The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Duane Gill and Tom Alton when L. Storm pinned Cleric after the Sudden Impact in 0:04:12. Rating: 1/2 The fans in attendance - especially the teenage girls - went wild for the Thrillseekers tonight as they chalked up another victory. Lance Storm and Chris Jericho were on fire and scored the pin with their beautiful double dropkick. Alundra cut a backstage promo on behalf of her men, the Swiss Bobsleigh Team. She said that Lars and Luca were focussing on capturing championship gold now that they had gotten rid of the Nasty Boys. Alundra said that her men are used to having gold around their necks and now they want it around their waists! Footage was shown of Man Mountain Rock's surprise appearance on Monday Night RAW, in which he interrupted Jeff Jarrett's live singing debut with an unannounced electric guitar solo! Tennessee Lee then cut a promo on Rock, accusing him of humiliating Double J and ruining the biggest night of Jarrett's life! Lee warned that Jarrett would make Rock pay dearly. Razor Ramon defeated Tom Billington via pinfall in 0:14:46. Rating: * 3/4 (Razor Ramon retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] [Davey Boy Smith interfered against Tom Bil[/b]lington.] This was a cracking contest in which a determined Tom Billington threw everything at Razor Ramon in the hope of winning his first singles title in the WWF. Dynamite earned near falls with a missile dropkick, a flying kneedrop and a superplex while Ramon came back with a bulldog and a fallaway slam. After a ref bump, Ramon set Billington up for the Razor's Edge but before he could complete the move, Tammy Fytch blinded the Bad Guy with hair spray! Billington took advantage, decking Ramon with a headbutt and ascending the turnbuckles in preparation for the Diving Dynamite Headbutt. However, Davey Boy Smith chose this moment to make his return, punching Billington in the gut and powerslamming him off the top rope! Tammy Fytch was having a fit at ringside as Ramon slowly crawled over and covered Dynamite for the win! After the match, Tom Billington attempted to go after Davey Boy Smith in the aisle, but the former Tag Team Champions were separated by a posse of officials. Back in the ring, Razor Ramon was still struggling with his eyesight as he slowly clambered back to his feet. Scott Steiner then sneaked into the ring out of nowhere and clobbered Ramon with a stiff Steinerline!! Steiner stood over the Bad Guy and insulted him to close the show! Circuit information: Razor Ramon can perhaps count himself fortunate that he was still in possession of the Intercontinental Title at the end of tonight's edition of Superstars. The conniving Tammy Fytch sprayed Ramon in the eyes with hairspray, leaving him open for Tom Billington to set up for the diving headbutt. However, Davey Boy Smith returned to throw a spanner in the works and laid out Billington with a running powerslam! We hadn't seen Smith since he was betrayed by his former partner back at the end of June and ever since that day Billington has been bragging to everyone about how he had rid the WWF of Davey Boy Smith. Smith has proven Billington wrong and is keen to settle the score with his ex-best friend. Razor Ramon didn't have a chance to take stock of what had happened during the main event as he was laid out once again by Tom Billington's stable mate, Scott Steiner. Steiner has been clamouring for an Intercontinental Title shot for weeks now and we are expecting an update on this situation from WWF President Jack Tunney very soon. The opening six man tag team bout settled nothing between Owen Hart and the Great Muta. WWF fans worldwide are licking their lips at the prospect of these two men locking horns at SummerSlam. WWF officials have decided that the answer to ending the intense feud between Crush and Barry Windham is with a Stretcher Match. Each superstar has received medical attention as a consequence of an attack from the other in recent weeks and the only way to win this bout is to incapacitate your opponent enough so that he leaves the arena on a stretcher! This match will not be one for the faint-hearted and neither man can possibly the same again after this brutal contest! Here's how the card is shaping up so far for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!! WWF Championship Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker WWF World Tag Team Championship Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Smoking Gunns Stretcher Match** Barry Windham vs Crush Mr. Perfect vs Tatanka Owen Hart vs Great Muta Make sure you join us this week for Monday Night RAW where Mr. Perfect and Man Mountain Rock will be joining us for singles action, plus Harvey Wippleman's entire stable will be making an appearance too. Also, in a special tag team attraction, The Headshrinkers face off against the Beverly Brothers! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/04/10 at 18:54:34 Monday Night RAW August 15th, 1994 Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with the arena in pitch darkness. Howard Finkel introduced Man Mountain Rock to the crowd and Rock was lit up by a spotlight in the centre of the ring, ready for his customary entrance. However, before Rock could begin playing his ax, Jeff Jarrett - who had appeared out of nowhere - smashed an acoustic guitar over Rock's head!! As Rock lay sprawled out in the ring amongst the remnants of the guitar, Double J cussed him out for embarrassing him on last week's show. Jarrett was booed out of the building as he strutted around the ring while Man Mountain Rock received medical attention. In Gene Okerlund's SummerSlam report, it was announced that Harvey Wippleman's group of Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and The Warlord will take on the team of Marty Jannetty, Bob Holly and Max Moon in a six man tag team encounter at the pay-per-view. Okerlund revealed that Wippleman's men will be in action next on Monday Night RAW. Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and Warlord defeated Paul Jones, Chaz Ware and Tony Webb when A. Bomb pinned P. Jones after a powerslam in 0:06:10. Rating: 1/2* After the match, Harvey Wippleman claimed that it will be just as easy at SummerSlam when his men destroy Bob Holly, Max Moon and especially Marty Jannetty. Ted DiBiase and Barry Windham cut a promo on Crush ahead of the Stretcher Match between Crush and The Widowmaker at SummerSlam. The Million Dollar Man claimed that he had used his substantial resources to reserve a bed for Crush at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago! The Birdman pinned Ralph Mosca with the One Fell Swoop in 0:04:49. Rating: * 1/2 During this match, it was announced that Duke "The Dumpster" Droese will defend the Hardcore Title against the Birdman on next week's show. The Birdman cut an insert promo in which he vowed to become the new Hardcore Champion in seven days. Footage was shown of the attacks that the Beverly Brothers conducted on the Headshrinkers a month ago which resulted in Samu and Fatu missing ring time. The Headshrinkers make their return tonight though and are out for revenge against Beau and Blake! The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when Beau pinned Fatu after the Shaker Heights Spike in 0:09:03. Rating: ** 3/4 [Afa interfered against Beau Beverly.] [Tammy Fytch interfered against Fatu.] The Headshrinkers dominated the Beverlys in the early going with headbutts and power manoeuvres, but the tide turned when Tammy Fytch tripped Fatu coming off the ropes and Beau and Blake went to work trying to reinjure Fatu's ankle. A miscue on the Beverlys part let Fatu make the hot tag to Samu, who then proceeded to clean house! Fytch tried to use her hair spray on Samu, but Afa used his kendo stick to sweep Fytch's legs away and she fell off the ring apron! However, Blake dropped Afa with a hard clothesline at ringside and then he and Blake tied Samu up in the ropes neck-first! As the referee frantically tried to free Samu from his dangerous predicament, The Beverlys made the most of their two-on-one advantage. They punished the isolated Fatu with a series of axhandles off the top rope and finished him with the Shaker Heights Spike. After the match, Beau and Blake Beverly helped Tammy Fytch regain her composure. She angrily stomped the fallen Afa and then joined in on the celebrations with her victorious team. Mr. Perfect pinned P.J. Walker with the Perfect Plex in 0:05:44. Rating: * 1/4 This contest was notable for another strong showing by the young rookie P.J. Walker. Walker almost scored a huge upset win on two occasions when he trapped Mr. Perfect in a small package and a backslide! P.J. missed a flying cross body off the top rope though and Perfect capitalised with the Perfect Plex for the three count. P.J. Walker was applauded for his efforts after the match, which didn't sit well with Mr. Perfect. Perfect attacked the youngster after the bell, which evoked loud jeers from the crowd. Perfect went for another Perfect Plex, but Tatanka appeared in the aisle to confront his SummerSlam opponent! Perfect cast P.J. Walker aside and turned his attention to Tatanka. Perfect taunted Tatanka from the ring as the Native American was held back in the aisle by officials. Walker then dropkicked Perfect in the back, sending Perfect over the top rope to the floor!! Tatanka laughed at the humiliated Perfect, while Walker celebrated in the ring as the fans cheered! Perfect then went after Walker, who took off through the crowd. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan closed this week's edition of RAW by hyping up the WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and The Undertaker at SummerSlam. McMahon announced that the Phenom will be in action on next week's show! Circuit information: Jeff Jarrett gained a measure of retribution on Man Mountain Rock as he obliterated a guitar over Rock's head at the outset of the show. Double J was left humiliated after Rock interrupted his concert last week and tonight Jarrett left Rock laying before he even had a chance to start performing on his ax. Young P.J. Walker continues to impress mat observers with his recent performances. One man not blown away was Mr. Perfect, who was almost defeated by Walker a number of times tonight. Perfect attacked Walker after their bout, which did not sit well with Tatanka. As Tatanka confronted Perfect, Walker sent Perfect out of the ring with a well-placed dropkick! The mind games between Perfect and Tatanka continue heading into SummerSlam. The Beverly Brothers have long been seen as comedy figures in the WWF but since joining Fytch Wrestling Enterprises they have become real players in the tag team division. Tonight they recorded their second straight victory over the Headshrinkers and if they continue in this vein they could soon catapult themselves into title contention. Harvey Wippleman has his troops ready for SummerSlam. He is clearly relishing the chance of dishing out a beating to the trio of Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and Bob Holly in two weeks. Here's how the card is shaping up so far for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 12/05/10 at 12:00:24 WWF Superstars August 20th, 1994 Civic Center, Wheeling, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Sean Mooney opened the show by inviting The Thrillseekers out to the interview podium to cheers from the crowd. Chris Jericho put over the support they had received from the WWF fans and Lance Storm added that they would continue to entertain the fans night after night. The segment was interrupted by WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds. Steve Austin and Brian Pillman were typically condescending towards the Thrillseekers, calling them a couple of greenhorns. Austin said that he and Pillman needed a tune-up before SummerSlam and were going to offer the Thrillseekers the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to step in the ring with the Tag Team of the Nineties! Jericho warned that the Blonds would regret underestimating them, but Austin playfully slapped him in the face! Jericho swatted his hand away, but the Blonds simply laughed at him! Storm said they'd see them in the ring later. Bob Holly, Marty Jannetty and Max Moon defeated Tony DeVito, Mike Sharpe and Mike Bell when Jannetty pinned M. Sharpe after a superkick in 0:07:12. Rating: ** During the bout, Harvey Wippleman's stable of Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and The Warlord were shown watching on backstage. Bob Backlund defeated Duane Gill when Duane Gill passed out in the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:05:40. Rating: * 1/4 The Smoking Gunns met with The Thrillseekers backstage. Billy and Bart warned the youngsters that the Hollywood Blonds know every dirty trick in the book and advised them to never led their guards down. The Gunns wished Chris Jericho and Lance Storm the best of luck and left them to continue their warm-up. Tito Santana pinned Reno Riggins with the Mexican Hammer in 0:05:42. Rating: * 1/4 In another SummerSlam report, Gene Okerlund excitedly announced that two more huge matches have been signed for the pay-per-view. First, in a battle of former Tag Team Champions, Davey Boy Smith will go one-on-one with "Dynamite" Tom Billington! Also, the Intercontinental Title will be on the line as champion Razor Ramon defends against the new number one contender, Scott Steiner!! Comments then aired from Fytch Wrestling Enterprises members Steiner and Billington, who were joined by Tammy Fytch. Billington was delighted that he had the chance to rid the company of Davey Boy Smith once and for all and added that it was an opportunity he would not waste. Steiner was beaming that he was finally getting the Intercontinental Title shot he feels that he has deserved for a long time. He warned Razor Ramon that nobody gets up from the Steiner Screwdriver and when he drops Ramon on his greasy head with the SSD at SummerSlam, there's going to be a new Intercontinental Champion! Okerlund then returned to reveal that on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW, Davey Boy Smith will meet Scott Steiner in singles action! The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) when Jericho pinned Pillman after a rolling reverse cradle in 0:10:09. Rating: 1/2 The Thrillseekers shocked the WWF Tag Team Champions and sent the fans into raptures as they knocked Steve Austin and Brian Pillman out of the ring with a couple of dropkicks at the outset of this contest. Lance Storm and Chris Jericho then followed up with a pair of stereo dives onto their opponents at ringside! Back inside the ring, the Blonds took over and their greater experience showed as they isolated Jericho from his partner. Pillman and Austin repeatedly distracted the official while the other bent the rules at the expense of Jericho, as Lance Storm grew ever more frustrated on the apron. Jericho fired back with an enzuigiri on Austin, but when he tried to follow up with a missile dropkick, Austin side stepped the move and Jericho hit the mat hard! Austin then hit the Stun Gun on Jericho, but refused to go for the cover. Instead, Austin tagged in Pillman and the champions hit Jericho with the Brush with Greatness. However, despite the protestations from the official, the Blonds once again decided not to pin Jericho. They wanted to extend the beating as long as possible. Lance Storm attempted to enter the ring, but the referee prevented him from doing so. The Blonds dragged the barely-conscious Jericho off the mat and went for the Brush with Greatness again, but they were distracted by an appearance from the Smoking Gunns! The Gunns - who will challenge Pillman and Austin for the titles at SummerSlam - disapproved of the Blonds' treatment of Chris Jericho and had come out to do something about it! The Blonds got into a heated argument with Billy and Bart and told them to get lost! With their opponents' backs turned, Lance Storm and Chris Jericho surprised Pillman and Austin with a couple of roll ups and the official made the three count!! The roof almost exploded off the arena as The Hollywood Blonds went down to their very first defeat in the WWF at the hands of the two young Canadians, Lance Storm and Chris Jericho!! The Thrillseekers celebrated in the aisle with the Smoking Gunns, while the Blonds went beserk in the ring!! Circuit information: The Thrillseekers scored the biggest win of their fledging careers as they upset WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds, albeit with an assist from the Smoking Gunns. The Blonds were furious that they had suffered their first loss in WWF rings this close to an important title defence at SummerSlam and are laying the blame squarely at the door of the Gunns. But perhaps Steve Austin and Brian Pillman should take a look at themselves, as their own arrogance in the match came back to bite them. They had numerous opportunities to put Chris Jericho away and win the match, but they chose instead to further punish Jericho and humiliate the youngster further. With two more huge match-ups announced tonight, the line-up for SummerSlam is just about complete. Scott Steiner is confident that he can defeat Razor Ramon and capture the Intercontinental title when he gets the opportunity at SummerSlam, one he feels is long overdue. And former WWF Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs will wage war on one another as Tom Billington clashes with Davey Boy Smith in the next chapter of their bitter rivalry. Let's run down the current card for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!! WWF Championship Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker WWF Intercontinental Championship Match Razor Ramon vs Scott Steiner WWF World Tag Team Championship Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Smoking Gunns Stretcher Match** Barry Windham vs Crush Davey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington Mr. Perfect vs Tatanka Owen Hart vs Great Muta Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and The Warlord vs Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and Bob Holly We've got a big show in store for you this coming week on Monday Night RAW, which is the go-home show for SummerSlam. Number one contender to the WWF Championship The Undertaker will be in action and in a very intriguing singles contest, Scott Steiner will battle Davey Boy Smith. You can be sure that Razor Ramon and Tom Billington will be keeping an eye on that match-up. Plus, the Hardcore Title is on the line as Duke "The Dumpster" Droese defends against The Birdman! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/23/11 at 16:16:50 Monday Night RAW August 22nd, 1994 Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with the introductions for the Hardcore Title Match, which sees Duke "The Dumpster" Droese defend against The Birdman. No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Duke Droese pinned The Birdman with the Trash Compactor in 0:07:06. Rating: 3/4 (Duke Droese retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) Duke Droese took control in this title match early with a series of shots with a road sign and a cookie sheet. The Dumpster even smashed a wooden birdhouse over the Birdman's skull! Droese missed a charge and went head-first into an ironing board and The Birdman seized the upper hand. Birdman destroyed Droese with a kendo stick and then placed a trash can over Droese's head, who was laid out on the canvas. Birdman went for the One Fell Swoop, but Droese slid out of the trash can and the Birdman flattened it with a springboard splash! Droese then drilled the Birdman with the Trash Compactor onto the squashed garbage can to retain the title. In the final SummerSlam report, Gene Okerlund revealed that "Double J" Jeff Jarrett will square off with Man Mountain Rock at the pay-per-view. Footage was then shown of the sneak attack on Man Mountain Rock by Jeff Jarrett from last week, in which Double J smashed an acoustic guitar over Rock's head. A furious Man Mountain Rock then cut a promo, warning that SummerSlam will be the day the music dies for Jeff Jarrett! Owen Hart pinned JW Storm after a spinwheel kick in 0:06:19. Rating: 3/4 During the match, the Great Muta made his way out to watch proceedings. The Rocket was momentarily distracted by the Pearl of the Orient, but quickly finished JW Storm with a kick to the head. Following the contest, Owen Hart challenged the Great Muta to get in the ring and fight. Muta simply turned and walked to the back. Scott Steiner and Davey Boy Smith battled to a no-contest in 0:08:42. Rating: * 1/4 This match-up evoked memories of the rivalry between the British Bulldogs and the Steiners from earlier in the year. The two men traded power moves, with Davey Boy Smith using a Gorilla press and a hanging vertical suplex and Scott Steiner returning fire with a belly-to-belly suplex and a tilt-a-whirl slam. Steiner went for the Frankensteiner, but Smith countered with a wicked power bomb! Fearing that her man was staring defeat in the face, Tammy Fytch climbed onto the apron and began fishing around in her handbag for hair spray. That brought out Razor Ramon, who pulled Fytch back down in order to confront her! Tom Billington then arrived on the scene and clobbered Ramon from behind! The bout completely broke down as Davey Boy Smith left the ring to get a piece of Billington and Steiner soon followed to become embroiled in the brawl at ringside!! The referee had lost all control and he threw the match out as all four men continued to fight!! Road agents and officials attempted to restore order as the show went to commercial. Shawn Michaels cut a promo backstage. The Heartbreak Kid acknowledged that Jack Tunney had kicked him off the SummerSlam card, but Michaels vowed that he would still make an impact at the pay-per-view. The Undertaker pinned Scotty Flamingo with the Tombstone in 0:05:07. Rating: * The Undertaker was making mincemeat out of Scotty Flamingo in this bout but as he prepared to deliver his trademark rope walk chop, Big Van Vader and Harley Race wandered down to ringside. Undertaker adjusted mid-move and took out Vader and Race with an amazing plancha! 'Taker then finished off poor Flamingo with a flying clothesline and the Tombstone. No sooner had the official counted the fall than Big Van Vader attacked The Undertaker. Vader dropped several elbows on the Deadman and then dumped him outside the ring, where he bashed 'Taker in the head with the steel steps! With Undertaker laid out, the WWF Champion and his manager Harley Race turned their attention to Paul Bearer. Race threw Bearer into a hard lariat from Vader. Vader then climbed the turnbuckles and prepared to deliver a Vader Bomb to Bearer. Thankfully, The Undertaker returned to the ring just in time and struck Vader with a low blow, sending the Mastodon crashing over the top rope down to ringside!! The atmosphere inside the arena was electric! The Undertaker then grabbed Harley Race around the throat as the show went off air!! Circuit information: Big Van Vader pulled his manager Harley Race to safety before The Undertaker could exact a measure of revenge for Paul Bearer, who was brutalised at the hands of the WWF Champion. The situation between Undertaker and Vader has now escalated rapidly with just one week to go before their championship showdown at SummerSlam. It was Vader and Race's intention to weaken the challenger, but they may have only succeeded in signing their own death warrant. Let's run down the card for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view on August 29th!! WWF Championship Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker The Undertaker signalled his intention of once again becoming WWF Champion when he appeared at the end of the main event at WrestleMania to confront title holder Bret Hart. However, when the Hitman was forced to relinquish the title through injury, it was Big Van Vader who claimed the vacant strap by winning the King of the Ring tournament. Vader actually eliminated The Undertaker from that tournament via count out in controversial circumstances, when Harley Race held on to the Deadman's foot and prevented him from reentering the ring. Since that day, The Undertaker has made it his mission to defeat Vader for the title. These two superstars have crossed paths several times in recent weeks, most notably tonight on Monday Night RAW, and on each occasion chaos and destruction has been the result. We expect things to be no different at SummerSlam, but when the dust settles, who will be standing tall as WWF Champion? WWF Intercontinental Championship Match Razor Ramon vs Scott Steiner Scott Steiner has been clamouring for an Intercontinental Title shot ever since he defeated Razor Ramon by count out at the King of the Ring this past June. Following that event, Steiner has ploughed his way through the singles ranks of the promotion, finishing opponent after opponent with what very well may be the most dangerous hold in wrestling today, the Steiner Screwdriver. Steiner certainly appears to have the Bad Guy's number, thanks in no small part to the conniving Tammy Fytch. Fytch is desperate to bring home some gold to Fytch Wrestling Enterprises and Scott Steiner may be the man to do it. WWF World Tag Team Championship Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Smoking Gunns The Smoking Gunns earned a WWF Tag Team Title shot by winning the inaugural Tag Team Turmoil match earlier this summer, in which they outlasted five other of the company's top teams. They'll be going up against current champions The Hollywood Blonds, who until last weekend had been undefeated in the WWF since debuting in January. The Blonds fell to young Canadians The Thrillseekers, who capitalised on a distraction caused by Billy and Bart Gunn. How will that embarrassing defeat affect the mindset of the champions heading into SummerSlam? And what is the status of Bart Gunn's knee injury, suffered during a fracas with the Blonds on Monday Night RAW? It won't be long until we have answers. Stretcher Match Barry Windham vs Crush The situation between Crush and Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase began before the King of the Ring when they were drawn to meet in the first round of the WWF Title tournament. Crush defeated DiBiase at the June pay-per-view, but was attacked by DiBiase's bodyguard Barry Windham following the contest. Crush went on to lose in the quarter final to Shawn Michaels, a loss that was partly due to the beatdown he had received at the hands of DiBiase and Windham. The Original Hawaiian Punch got his own back on The Widowmaker two weeks later and put Windham on the shelf with an elbow injury. As Windham convalesced, DiBiase put a bounty on the head of Crush, but the big Hawaiian fought off all comers until The Widowmaker returned to action and laid out Crush with a sickening suplex on the unprotected concrete floor. WWF matchmakers decided that a simple singles contest between these two men would not be enough to settle things, which is why this bout will be a Stretcher Match! One of these superstars will suffer the ignominy of being stretchered out of the arena, unable to continue, and each man is determined not to let it be them! Davey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington Tom Billington feels that Davey Boy Smith was the weak link of the British Bulldogs tandem and this team exploded in June when Dynamite brutally turned on his partner. Billington, now a card carrying member of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, wants all the glory for himself and is determined to win titles in the singles ranks. But as long as Davey Boy Smith is around, he won't let that happen. This is the most personal match on the card at SummerSlam and perhaps we'll find out once and for all who really was top dog in the British Bulldogs. Mr. Perfect vs Tatanka Mr Perfect isn't in the WWF to be the good guy, he's here to win titles. And since the King of the Ring, he's made it clear that he is prepared to do anything - including stepping over his friends - to advance his career. This has not gone down well with his former friend Tatanka, who has been the victim of Perfect's shady tactics as of late. Tatanka is out to humble Perfect at SummerSlam and inflict a demoralising loss, but since Perfect has reverted back to the darkside he has proven very difficult to beat. Owen Hart vs Great Muta Gary Hart introduced his Black Friday Management stable to the world this past June and it was done at the expense of Owen Hart, who was jumped and beaten up at the hands of the Great Muta, the Arabian Butchers and Kimona. Owen has a history with Muta dating to the back end of 1993 and there is unfinished business there, which is why Owen singled out the Pearl of the Orient out as the man to gain retribution from. WWF fans worldwide are expecting big things from this bout, which will surely be up there when the Match of the Year candidates are announced. Jeff Jarrett vs Man Mountain Rock It's country vs rock at SummerSlam as country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett squares off with heavy metal guitarist Man Mountain Rock. Jarrett's plans of using the WWF as a stepping stone to launch his music career are well documented, so when Rock decided to interrupt Jarrett's live singing debut with a guitar solo, it did not sit well with Double J. Jarrett returned fire the following week, smashing an acoustic guitar over Rock's head before Rock could make his trademark entrance. This grudge will come to a head in one week at SummerSlam! Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and The Warlord vs Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and Bob Holly This rivalry began when Marty Jannetty broke Harvey Wippleman's nose and ever since more and more superstars have been caught up in the dispute. Wippleman brought back the Warlord to help watch his back and prevent him from being assaulted again. Wippleman's expanded crew then attacked Jannetty as payback, but the next week Jannetty caused Adam Bomb to suffer an embarrassing loss to newcomer Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. Max Moon later joined forces with Jannetty and Holly to make it a fair fight, which led to this six man tag team encounter at SummerSlam. It's the chance for Bob Holly and Max Moon to be taken seriously and capture a huge victory on pay-per-view, but the huge trio of Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and the Warlord are no pushovers. We are one week away from the hottest night of the summer!! Make sure you don't miss it!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/24/11 at 19:48:56 WWF @ New York City, NY August 25th, 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY Bob Holly pinned Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz with the Fender Bender in 0:06:34. Rating: * 3/4 This show saw the first appearance of Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz, a baseball player with his face painted like a baseball and wearing a 00 on his jersey. Schwartz put in a good showing in his debut, at one point sliding out of the ring and dragging Bob Holly with him by the ankles and then bodyslamming Holly on the floor. Holly blocked a superplex attempt and finished Schwartz with the Fender Bender flying kneedrop. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) when Luca pinned Samu after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:20:45. Rating: 3/4 [Alundra interfered against Samu.] [Alundra interfered against Fatu.] [Afa interfered against Lars.] [Afa interfered against Luca.] Lars and Luca, the Swiss Bobsleigh Team, came out on top in a long match with the Headshrinkers. However, it took a bobsleigh helmet to the back of Samu's head to get the job done. The Headshrinkers were furious after the match and chased Lars and Luca to the back. Great Muta pinned The Berzerker with the Moonsault Press in 0:08:01. Rating: 3/4 Shawn Michaels defeated Crush by countout in 0:14:04. Rating: ** [Liz interfered against Crush.] [Barry Windham interfered against Crush.] Crush was distracted in this match-up when Barry Windham rolled a stretcher out to ringside. Shawn Michaels struck Crush in the back of the skull with a superkick which sent the big Hawaiian crashing to ringside, where he was subsequently counted out. Barry Windham then got in several cheap shots on Crush until he was dragged away by officials. Jeff Jarrett defeated Owen Hart via pinfall in 0:09:11. Rating: * 1/2 [Great Muta interfered against Owen Hart.] Owen Hart was all set to put Jeff Jarrett away with the Rocket Launcher when the Great Muta sprinted out and spewed mist in Owen's eyes. The Rocket lose his balance and collapsed down to the mat where he was easy prey for Double J. The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Barry Windham and Ted DiBiase when C. Jericho pinned DiBiase after a sunset flip in 0:10:04. Rating: * [Crush interfered against Barry Windham.] The Thrillseekers filled in for the Smoking Gunns in this contest and went on to secure another huge victory in their fledgling WWF careers. Lance Storm and Chris Jericho capitalised on a fracas at ringside between Crush and Barry Windham, which diverted the attention of Ted DiBiase. Jericho went on to pin the Million Dollar Man with a sunset flip for a very popular win! Ted DiBiase went after Crush following the bout, but the Thrillseekers intervened and assisted Crush in sending DiBiase and Barry Windham packing to the dressing room. Razor Ramon and Tatanka and Mr. Perfect and Scott Steiner battled to a draw in 0:30:00. Rating: * 3/4 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] This was a tremendous battle which served as a preview for two of the feature singles bouts at SummerSlam. The team of Mr. Perfect and Scott Steiner worked over Tatanka for a large period of the bout, but the tide turned when the Native American finally made the hot tag to Razor Ramon. Tatanka and Perfect both went over the top rope and fought at ringside while Ramon drove Steiner down to the canvas with a belly-to-back superplex. The Bad Guy called for the Razor's Edge but before he could execute the move, the bell sounded to signal that the time limit had expired. The fans voiced their disapproval at the unsatisfactory finish. Razor Ramon and Tatanka challenged their opponents to five more minutes, but Mr. Perfect was already halfway back to the dressing room area. The Undertaker pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with a choke slam in 0:12:07. Rating: 3/4 [Paul Bearer interfered against Bam Bam Bigelow.] [Harvey Wippleman interfered against The Undertaker.] The Undertaker warmed up for his WWF Title Match against Big Van Vader at SummerSlam by facing a superstar of similar size and girth, Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow missed his flying headbutt and The Undertaker pounced, finishing the Beast From The East with a flying clothesline and a choke slam. As the crowd gave The Undertaker a standing ovation, the Deadman motioned that he wants the WWF Championship around his waist. There can be no doubt that the Phenom is ready for Vader at SummerSlam!! Card rating: * 1/2
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/29/11 at 00:20:57 WWF Superstars August 27th, 1994 Civic Center, Wheeling, WV Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. This week's edition of Superstars began with Bad News Brown making his way down to the ring for a singles contest with the Big Boss Man. Bad News had gained possession of the Boss Man's nightstick several weeks ago and he tried to attack the former corrections officer with it before the bell. However, Boss Man disarmed Brown after he planted him with a spinebuster and Bad News bailed out as the show went to commercial. Bad News Brown pinned Big Boss Man with the Ghetto Blaster in 0:10:44. Rating: ** 1/4 This match-up finally got started during the commercial break. Big Boss Man appeared to be heading for victory but Bad News Brown countered the Boss Man Slam by kicking the Boss Man in the head. Bad News followed up with the Ghetto Blaster for the three count. Sean Mooney interviewed Bad News Brown in the aisle following the match. Bad News challenged the winner of the WWF Title Match at SummerSlam. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Bert Centeno and Barry Hardy when Lars pinned B. Hardy with the Kreisel in 0:06:26. Rating: 1/2* Sean Mooney conducted an interview with Quebecer Jacques at the podium. Mooney remarked that Jacques had been looking a little lost since the Quebecers team split after Pierre left the company. Jacques acknowledged that to be fact, but shocked Mooney when he revealed that he had found another tag team partner! Jacques said that he now had a partner he could rely on and a partner who would never let him down. Jacques proceeded to bring out the only man he could ever trust - his brother Raymond!! Jacques and Raymond hugged and Jacques said it was great to have his brother back by his side, in fact, it's "Fabulous"!!! The Rougeaus hugged again as the strains of "All-American Boys" filled the arena. Mantaur and Kevin Kelly battled to a no-contest in 0:03:59. Rating: -3/4* The crowd certainly did not take to this plodding encounter, but they sat up and paid attention when Gary Hart emerged from the entrance way. Hart was leading someone out from the back, but the mystery man's head was covered by a black towel. When the two men arrived at ringside, the leader of Black Friday Management removed the towel from the man's head, revealing The Tazmaniac! However, it was much changed look for the Tazmaniac, who was clad in a black singlet and had his head shaved. The Tazmaniac appeared to be totally fired up as Hart sent him into the ring! Tazmaniac immediately went after Kevin Kelly, destroying him with two vicious suplexes! Mantaur then decided to go after him, but the Tazmaniac beat the 400-pounder down. In an awesome feat of strength, the Tazmaniac launched Mantaur across the ring with a T-Bone suplex!! KimChee, the current manager of Mantaur and the former manager of the Tazmaniac, confronted his former charge but the Tazmaniac floored him with a lariat. The Tazmaniac then laid out KimChee with yet another sick suplex as Gary Hart entered the ring holding a microphone. While the Tazmaniac stood menacingly with his arms folded in the centre of the ring, Gary Hart addressed the crowd. Hart acknowledged that as the leader of Black Friday Management, he has become notorious for scouting and developing talent from all over the world. However, Hart said that sometimes you find incredible talent right under your nose, somebody who is a little rough around the edges and in need of a little polish. Hart revealed that he saw something in the man to his left - the man formerly known as the Tazmaniac - and said that he was not an animalistic wildman, but a mean and nasty street thug from Brooklyn! Hart added that from this point on The Tazmaniac would be known simply as Taz - one man, three letters and a dangerous new attitude! Taz then took the mic and said it doesn't matter if they are 200, 300 or 400 lbs, no matter how many men get in his way, they will become just another victim! Tito Santana pinned Repo Man with the Mexican Hammer in 0:06:01. Rating: * 1/4 Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler closed out the show by offering their SummerSlam predictions. Lawler confidently proclaimed that Scott Steiner will capture the Intercontinental Title from Razor Ramon and Big Van Vader will bury The Undertaker, while McMahon felt that The Undertaker could very well capture the WWF Championship for a second time in Chicago! Circuit information: Tonight on what proved to be a newsworthy edition of WWF Superstars, we witnessed the metamorphosis of the neanderthal Tazmaniac into dangerous Brooklyn street thug Taz. With the devious Gary Hart behind him, Taz is determined to suplex his way through the singles ranks of the World Wrestling Federation. Perhaps more disconcerting is the fact that Hart has promised more additions to the ranks of Black Friday Management over the coming weeks! Also on this evening's show, charismatic French Canadian tag team the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers reformed. Raymond Rougeau hasn't competed in a WWF ring since 1990, but he returned tonight by his brother Jacques' side, who had been at a loss since his last tag team partner left the company. The Rougeaus will certainly be a creditable addition to the ultra-competitive tag team division. Conspicuous by his absence from the Rougeaus' reunion was Jimmy Hart. Hart left the company this weekend. Kevin Kelly is also done. We wish both the very best in their future endeavours. Let's run down the card for SummerSlam, which we'll be bringing to you from the brand new United Center in Chicago, Illinois, live on pay-per-view in just TWO DAYS!!

Crush went on to lose in the quarter final to Shawn Michaels, a loss that was partly due to the beatdown he had received at the hands of DiBiase and Windham. The Original Hawaiian Punch got his own back on The Widowmaker two weeks later and put Windham on the shelf with an elbow injury. As Windham convalesced, DiBiase put a bounty on the head of Crush, but the big Hawaiian fought off all comers until The Widowmaker returned to action and laid out Crush with a sickening suplex on the unprotected concrete floor. WWF matchmakers decided that a simple singles contest between these two men would not be enough to settle things, which is why this bout will be a Stretcher Match! One of these superstars will suffer the ignominy of being stretchered out of the arena, unable to continue, and each man is determined not to let it be them! Davey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington Tom Billington feels that Davey Boy Smith was the weak link of the British Bulldogs tandem and this team exploded in June when Dynamite brutally turned on his partner. Billington, now a card carrying member of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, wants all the glory for himself and is determined to win titles in the singles ranks. But as long as Davey Boy Smith is around, he won't let that happen. This is the most personal match on the card at SummerSlam and perhaps we'll find out once and for all who really was top dog in the British Bulldogs. Mr. Perfect vs Tatanka Mr Perfect isn't in the WWF to be the good guy, he's here to win titles. And since the King of the Ring, he's made it clear that he is prepared to do anything - including stepping over his friends - to advance his career. This has not gone down well with his former friend Tatanka, who has been the victim of Perfect's shady tactics as of late. Tatanka is out to humble Perfect at SummerSlam and inflict a demoralising loss, but since Perfect has reverted back to the darkside he has proven very difficult to beat. Owen Hart vs Great Muta Gary Hart introduced his Black Friday Management stable to the world this past June and it was done at the expense of Owen Hart, who was jumped and beaten up at the hands of the Great Muta, the Arabian Butchers and Kimona. Owen has a history with Muta dating to the back end of 1993 and there is unfinished business there, which is why Owen singled out the Pearl of the Orient out as the man to gain retribution from. WWF fans worldwide are expecting big things from this bout, which will surely be up there when the Match of the Year candidates are announced. Jeff Jarrett vs Man Mountain Rock It's country vs rock at SummerSlam as country music superstar "Double J" Jeff Jarrett squares off with heavy metal guitarist Man Mountain Rock. Jarrett's plans of using the WWF as a stepping stone to launch his music career are well documented, so when Rock decided to interrupt Jarrett's live singing debut with a guitar solo, it did not sit well with Double J. Jarrett returned fire the following week, smashing an acoustic guitar over Rock's head before Rock could make his trademark entrance. This grudge will come to a head in one week at SummerSlam! Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and The Warlord vs Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and Bob Holly This rivalry began when Marty Jannetty broke Harvey Wippleman's nose and ever since more and more superstars have been caught up in the dispute. Wippleman brought back the Warlord to help watch his back and prevent him from being assaulted again. Wippleman's expanded crew then attacked Jannetty as payback, but the next week Jannetty caused Adam Bomb to suffer an embarrassing loss to newcomer Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. Max Moon later joined forces with Jannetty and Holly to make it a fair fight, which led to this six man tag team encounter at SummerSlam. It's the chance for Bob Holly and Max Moon to be taken seriously and capture a huge victory on pay-per-view, but the huge trio of Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and the Warlord are no pushovers. We hope you will join us for the hottest night of the summer, WWF SummerSlam!! It's live, this Monday night on pay-per-view!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 01/31/11 at 22:25:19 WWF SUMMERSLAM '94 August 29th, 1994 United Center, Chicago, Illinois Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan welcomed viewers tuning in live on pay-per-view and then sent it up to Howard Finkel for the introductions to the opening six man tag team contest. Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow and Warlord defeated Marty Jannetty, Max Moon and Bob Holly when Bigelow pinned Jannetty after a slingshot splash in 0:10:03. Rating: 3/4 [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Marty Jannetty.] The seventh annual SummerSlam got off to an entertaining start with this six man tag team match. Harvey Wippleman's crew used their size advantage to dominate their smaller opponents, isolating Bob Holly and doubling and tripling up on him. Holly rolled out of the way from Bam Bam Bigelow's diving headbutt and made a desperation tag to Marty Jannetty. The match soon broke down and all six men began fighting. Warlord missed an avalanche in the corner and Jannetty floored him with a superkick. Jannetty went up top ready to deliver a flying fistdrop, but Harvey Wippleman grabbed Jannetty's ankle! Jannetty dragged Wippleman into the ring, grabbed his nose guard and snapped it back into Wippleman's face! While Wippleman rolled around clutching his face, Adam Bomb attacked Jannetty from behind and planted him with the Atom Smasher! Bigelow followed up with a splash, chalking up the win for his team. After the match, the Warlord helped Harvey Wippleman to the back, who was complaining that his nose was broken again. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed the Smoking Gunns ahead of their Tag Team Title match with the Hollywood Blonds later in the show. Suddenly, Brian Pillman and Steve Austin arrived on the scene and drove a heavy wheeled equipment box into Bart Gunn's recently injured knee! Billy Gunn tried to fight off the champions, but Austin and Pillman whipped him repeatedly into a concrete wall. The Thrillseekers quickly showed up and ran off the Blonds, but the damage had already been done. Bart was rolling around on the ground in agony clutching his knee, while a dazed Billy checked on his partner. Tom Billington defeated Davey Boy Smith by disqualification in 0:06:57. Rating: 3/4 There was not much wrestling on show as these former tag team partners pounded each other in this super-heated battle. Both men took turns bashing each other's heads off the steel steps and whipping each other into the guardrail. Back in the ring, Davey Boy Smith wailed away on Tom Billington in the corner. The official tried to get in between Davey Boy and Billington, so Smith shoved the referee to the mat. The official had no option but to call for the bell and disqualify Smith. As Davey Boy Smith complained to the referee, Tom Billington floored him with a vicious clothesline to the back of the head! Billington continued to hammer away with forearm after forearm to the back of Smith's head as Tammy Fytch egged him on. Billington had to be dragged off his former tag team partner by a number of officials. Backstage, Sean Mooney was standing by with WWF President Jack Tunney. Tunney talked about the match between Mr. Perfect and Tatanka later on the card and said that he had warned the official in the bout to be extra vigilant to Perfect's rulebreaking. He then brought up the sneak attack conducted by the Hollywood Blonds on the Smoking Gunns. Tunney said he had spoken with the doctors and there was no possible way that Bart Gunn could compete tonight. However, before the Blonds could get too smug, Tunney vowed that there will be a Tag Team Title Match tonight. Great Muta pinned Owen Hart with the Shining Wizard in 0:11:59. Rating: ** 1/4 [Kimona interfered against Owen Hart.] This match started back and forth until the Great Muta performed an eye rake and then targeted Owen Hart's left leg, attempting to ground the Rocket. Muta applied a single leg Boston crab and the Muta Lock, but Owen refused to quit. Muta tried to end it early and went for the moonsault. The Rocket avoided it, but the cat-like Muta landed on his feet and scored with a spin kick. Muta went for the handspring elbow, but Owen caught him in mid-air and planted him with a German suplex! The Rocket got a near fall with a belly-to-belly and then went for a rana, but Muta countered with a power bomb. Muta again attempted the moonsault, but Owen raised his knees. Owen followed up with a spinwheel kick and called for the Rocket Launcher. With the fans firmly behind him, The Rocket climbed to the top rope but Kimona took the ref. Owen leapt off the top turnbuckle, but Muta spat mist into his eyes on the way down! Muta then connected with a vicious kick to the head on the blinded Rocket and it was all over. The Pearl of the Orient comes out on top in this ultra-athletic scorcher. Sean Mooney interviewed WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds in their locker room. Steve Austin said that when you try and embarrass the tag team of the 90s, bad things happen, and what happened to Bart Gunn is the perfect example of that. Brian Pillman claimed that they weren't worried who Jack Tunney pulls out of his hat to face them tonight, because they are the WWF Tag Team Champions and will be for a long time to come. Scott Steiner defeated Razor Ramon via pinfall in 0:13:22. Rating: * 1/4 (Scott Steiner won the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] [Shawn Michaels interfered against Razor Ramon.] Razor Ramon flicked his toothpick at Tammy Fytch, prompting Scott Steiner to attack him to kick this match off. Steiner targeted Ramon's lower back, punishing the Bad Guy with a bearhug and a rope-assisted abdominal stretch. Razor blocked a hiptoss and chokeslammed Steiner for two. Steiner came back with a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex and a twisting double underhook power bomb. Ramon floated over a Steiner Screwdriver attempt and bulldogged Steiner. The Bad Guy hit an atomic drop, which sent Steiner bouncing off the ropes and into a boot to gut, setting him up for the Razor's Edge. Sensing her man was in danger, Tammy Fytch got onto the apron and Razor confronted her. The official told Fytch to get back down as Steiner hit Ramon from behind. Steiner went for the SSD but Ramon countered with small package. Steiner's shoulders were down for longer than three but the official was still tied up with Tammy. Ramon angrily got back to his feet and went to find the referee, when suddenly Shawn Michaels hit the ring and dropped Ramon with a superkick!! Michaels made a swift exit as Steiner covered Ramon for the three count and the Intercontinental Championship! Tammy Fytch was overjoyed, grabbing the Intercontinental Championship belt and jumping into new champion Scott Steiner's arms! Meanwhile, Razor Ramon took off down the aisle, on the hunt for Shawn Michaels. Gene Okerlund conducted a pre-match interview with the Native American, Tatanka. Tatanka drew parallels between his own career and his opponent Mr. Perfect's. They both went on long undefeated streaks at the beginning of their WWF careers. They are both former Intercontinental Champions. But there is one important difference between the two men. Tatanka said he is a proud Native American, who can hold his head high and be proud of all his accomplishments. Mr. Perfect on the other hand has never achieved anything without breaking the rules and playing dirty - distinctly imperfect. Tatanka said that SummerSlam would be anything but a perfect night for Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect pinned Tatanka with the Perfect Plex in 0:11:28. Rating: * 1/2 Tatanka blindsided Mr. Perfect to start this match early, a case of turnabout being fair play. They fought to the floor where Perfect shoved Tatanka into the post. Perfect went on offence with a dropkick, a neck snap and grabbed a chinlock. The Native American fought out and came back with near falls off a DDT, a flying chop and a powerslam. Perfect went to the eyes out of desperation and then removed one of the turnbuckle pads, but the official admonished him. As Perfect argued with the referee, Tatanka capitalised on the situation and lifted Perfect onto his shoulders for the End of the Trail. Perfect slid down though and with the referee preoccupied with reattaching the turnbuckle pad, Perfect kicked Tatanka low! The nefarious Mr. Perfect followed up with the Perfect Plex as the official quickly abandoned the turnbuckle and counted Tatanka's shoulders down for three! A dysphoric Tatanka argued with the official as Mr. Perfect celebrated the victory. The Native American snapped and went after Perfect, destroying him with chops and then whipping him into the unprotected turnbuckle! As Perfect recoiled in agony, Tatanka laid him out with the Wykea as the fans cheered! The cocky and charismatic World Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds messed with the crowd as WWF President Jack Tunney made his way out. Tunney informed the live crowd that due to injuries to Bart Gunn suffered in an ambush by the Blonds, the Smoking Gunns would not be able to compete tonight. However, Tunney had found a suitable team to take the Gunns' place and challenge Brian Pillman and Steve Austin for the titles tonight. Tunney sent out The Thrillseekers to a favourable response from the capacity crowd! The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) defeated The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) when S. Austin pinned L. Storm after a rolling reverse cradle in 0:12:41. Rating: * 3/4 (The Hollywood Blonds retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) Despite their victory over the Hollywood Blonds on Superstars, The Thrillseekers were decided underdogs heading into what was undoubtedly the biggest match of their careers. The young Canadians overwhelmed the Blonds at the outset of this contest, sending the Tag Team Champions to the floor before they even had a chance to remove their belts and robes! Chris Jericho and Lance Storm then wiped out Steve Austin and Brian Pillman with a pair of stereo planchas. The Thrillseekers rolled back in and lifted up the Tag Team Title belts to a huge ovation. When the bout finally got underway officially, Storm and Jericho scored a series of near falls and came within an eyelash of capturing the titles. Austin asked for a handshake on one knee from Storm. Storm obliged, but then kicked Austin in the gut! The Thrillseekers lost their momentum when Jericho missed a cross body. The Blonds went to work on Jericho as Storm desperately tried to make the tag - Austin and Pillman certainly weren't taking the youngsters lightly after the events of just over a week ago on Superstars. Jericho made the hot tag after a double clothesline spot and the Thrillseekers dominated the champions with their high-flying manoeuvres. The challengers connected with the Sudden Impact on Austin, but Pillman just barely made the save and prevented a second title change this evening. Stormed rolled up Austin - the same way the Thrillseekers defeated the Blonds before - but while the ref was with Jericho, Pillman blasted Storm with a clothesline. Austin then rolled through and grabbed a handful of tights for the 1-2-3. Backstage, Tom Billington and Davey Boy Smith were fighting again. Stretcher Match: Crush defeated Barry Windham in 0:15:01. Rating: * 1/4 [Ted DiBiase interfered against Crush.] This Stretcher Match was every bit as physical and brutal as we predicted, in which the only way to win is to inflict enough punishment on your opponent so they are forced to leave on a stretcher. Crush sent Barry Windham crashing into the steel steps at ringside and then suplexed him on the lower portion of the steps. The Widowmaker struck Crush with the ring bell and dropped him onto the guardrail. Crush had Windham trapped in the Cranium Crunch, but Ted DiBiase broke the hold by striking Crush in the back with a steel chair! Referee Mike Chioda then ejected the Million Dollar Man from ringside! Windham used the chair on Crush's ribs. The Widowmaker wedged the chair between the turnbuckles and attempted to whip Crush into it, but the big Hawaiian reversed and sent Windham head-first into the chair! With the fans solidly behind him, Crush planted Windham with the Kona Crush onto the chair and the unconscious Windham was stretchered out of the arena! Before the next match began, baseball player Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz was shown on strike in the stands. Jeff Jarrett defeated Man Mountain Rock when Man Mountain Rock passed out in a figure-four leglock in 0:05:51. Rating: 1/2 [The Roadie interfered against Man Mountain Rock.] Man Mountain Rock, still seething after Jeff Jarrett's attack two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, attacked Double J as the country music star made his entrance. Rock destroyed Jarrett with power moves and sent him flying out of the ring. Rock effortlessly bounced Double J around ringside and then threw him back inside for further punishment. However, as Jarrett begged the official for a timeout, his roadie snuck up behind Rock and clipped his knee! Smelling blood, Jarrett went right after Man Mountain Rock's weakened knee and was eventually able to lock in the figure-four leglock. Rock was in the hold an awfully long time, but refused to quit or be pinned. When Rock stopped answering, the official stopped the match and awarded the win to Double J. Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Crush in the doctor's room. The Original Hawaiian Punch was holding an ice pack to his ribs and in obvious discomfort following the brutal stretcher match. Crush said that Barry Windham got everything that was coming to him tonight. He then warned that he had a hit list and threatened to start working through it soon. The Undertaker defeated Big Van Vader by disqualification in 0:10:08. Rating: 1/2 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race interfered against The Undertaker.] [Paul Bearer interfered against Big Van Vader.] Paul Bearer was still feeling the effects of the beating he received from Big Van Vader and Harley Race last week, but he accompanied The Undertaker out for this WWF Championship Match. It began as a slugfest, but Vader's blows appeared to have little or no effect on The Undertaker. Vader managed to put 'Taker down a few times with clotheslines, but the Deadman kept sitting up. Undertaker used a slam and a legdrop for a near fall. Vader countered the ropewalk with leverage and hit a low blow. The WWF Champion wore down the Undertaker with a bearhug. Vader's second rope splash was countered into a powerslam by 'Taker. Vader power bombed Undertaker for two. The challenger came back with the ropewalk and a choke slam. The Undertaker signalled for the Tombstone, but Harley Race entered the ring and waffled him from behind, forcing the disqualification. The fans hated that call from the referee, but Big Van Vader and Harley Race didn't care. They doubled up on The Undertaker, beating him down with kicks and punches. Paul Bearer tried to make the save but Race drilled him with a headbutt! Vader threw the timekeeper to the ground and brought his chair into the ring. Vader struck Undertaker twice across the back, before whipping him into the corner and crushing him with an avalanche. The Mastodon then charged at the Deadman with the steel chair, but Undertaker kicked it back into Vader's face! 'Taker knocked down Harley Race with a boot to the face, before sending Vader out of the ring with a wicked chair shot! Big Van Vader wanted to get back in and fight, but he was prevented from doing so by an army of officials and road agents! While the officials struggled to restrain the WWF Champion, the show drew to a close with a shot of The Undertaker leaping onto Vader and the suits at ringside with a phenomenal running suicide dive over the top rope!! Card rating: * 1/4 Circuit information: SummerSlam 1994 will go down in the history books as a show that largely delivered in the ring, but finished on a flat note as The Undertaker failed to capture the WWF Championship from Big Van Vader. Harley Race forced a cheap disqualification when he attacked the Deadman as 'Taker prepared to put away the Mastodon. However, this feud is far from over, as The Undertaker and Vader brawled after the decision and we were left with the incredible sight of the Phenom diving over the top rope onto Vader at ringside! The Undertaker is deathly serious about becoming WWF Champion once again and surely he will get another shot after tonight's unsatisfactory finish. Scott Steiner is your new Intercontinental Champion after he defeated Razor Ramon this evening, but he owes a huge debt of gratitude to Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid vowed to make an impact on tonight's show after Jack Tunney refused to book him on the card, and he certainly made his presence felt. Quite what Michaels' motivation was for costing Ramon the title is unclear and the Heartbreak Kid wasn't hanging around to answer questions after the bout. The Hollywood Blonds brutally assaulted Bart Gunn backstage and reinsured his knee, ruling the Smoking Gunns out of tonight's Tag Team Title Match. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin thought they had the night off, but Jack Tunney threw a spanner in the works by sending the Thrillseekers out to face the champions. Chris Jericho and Lance Storm, the only team to defeat the Blonds in the WWF, couldn't have come any closer of snatching the titles. However, the Blonds escaped with their belts thanks to underhanded tactics. Tatanka's rotten luck at SummerSlam continues. Last year, he dropped the Intercontinental Title to Bam Bam Bigelow. Tonight, he lost to Mr. Perfect after Perfect low blowed him and then put him away with the Perfect Plex. Tatanka gained a measure of revenge after the match though, planting Perfect with the Wykea. Crush came out on top in his feud with Barry Windham by emerging victorious in a heated and savage Stretcher Match. The big Hawaiian is now ready to set his sights on other WWF superstars who are on what he has termed his "hit list". We have no idea who Crush has targeted, but we definitely wouldn't want to be in their shoes! Absolutely nothing was settled in the battle between cousins and former tag team partners Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington. The two men had to be separated several times backstage during the show. This bitter personal rivalry began with Billington blaming Davey Boy for throwing him overboard when Smith went on his singles career and I fear it will not end until one of these men destroys the other. Match of the night honours go to Owen Hart and the Great Muta for their fast-paced classic, which was won by Muta after his misted the Rocket and KOed him with a sickening kick to the head. A furious Owen has challenged Muta to an immediate rematch, which is something that every WWF fan would love to see. Bart Gunn finished up with the company tonight. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours. We hope you enjoyed SummerSlam, but there's no time to rest because we're back this weekend with WWF Superstars! So long, everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/05/11 at 13:54:24 WWF Superstars September 3rd, 1994 Civic Center, Portland, ME Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. [Dark match]: The Headshrinkers (Fatu and Samu) and Double Trouble (Val Puccio and Tony Puccio) battled to a no contest in 0:00:20. Fatu injured his left knee. He will be out for approximately 6 months. Rating: 1/4* Before the opening match, Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz - who was making his television debut - cut a promo in which he gave his own distorted reasons behind the current Major League Baseball strike. Schwartz said that you can't blame the owners or the ball players, as they are just being good businessmen. He added that if you have to cast blame on anyone, then blame the fans! Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz made AC Connor submit to the Seventh Inning Stretch in 0:06:47. Rating: ** 1/4 Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz teased and frustrated AC Connor to start, baseball sliding between Connor's legs and declaring himself safe. Connor walked into a bodyslam and Schwartz celebrated by performing jumping jacks. During the bout, Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler tried to figure out who Schwartz really is - their best guess being Pete Rose. Abe used a stomp to the gut and followed with a suplex, before arguing with the referee and kicking imaginary dirt on him. Schwartz acted like he was going to pitch and then slugged Connor with a big right hand. Schwartz pointed to the lights like Babe Ruth and finished with a seated arm hook sleeper dubbed the "Seventh Inning Stretch". Vince McMahon attempted to court disgruntled baseball fans after the contest by pushing WWE superstars as the real boys of summer and added that they will never go on strike. Friar Ferguson pinned Terra Ryzing with the Bible Belt in 0:04:37. Rating: * 1/4 Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler put over the outstanding battle between the Great Muta and Owen Hart at SummerSlam. McMahon excitedly announced that the two men will meet in a rematch this coming week on Monday Night RAW, this time contested under best two out of three falls rules! Vince said that this will be one of the most eagerly anticipated match-ups in RAW history! Comments from Owen Hart were then shown in which he expressed his anger with himself for letting his guard down once at SummerSlam, which allowed Muta to spit mist in his eyes and pick up the win. The Rocket vowed to beat Muta by two straight falls this Monday night!! Bob Backlund made Matt Hardy submit to an abdominal stretch in 0:06:23. Rating: ** 1/4 Video stills from SummerSlam were shown depicting how Shawn Michaels struck Razor Ramon with a superkick, which resulted in Ramon dropping the Intercontinental Title to Scott Steiner. Pre-recorded comments from Shawn Michaels rolled in which he explained that because the Bad Guy stuck his nose in Michaels' business with the Lightning Kid, Michaels decided to poke his nose in Ramon's business at SummerSlam. The Heartbreak Kid said that Ramon would think twice the next time he wants to get involved in matters that don't concern him. Michaels then turned his attention to the Kid and warned that next week on Superstars, that snot-nosed little punk will pay for embarrassing him on Monday Night RAW several weeks ago. Scotty Flamingo pinned Mike Freeman with the Point Break in 0:04:32. Rating: * 1/2 Vince McMahon conducted an in-ring interview with the Thrillseekers. McMahon put over Chris Jericho and Lance Storm's tremendous effort at SummerSlam in their Tag Team Title Match against the Hollywood Blonds, which earned the young Canadians a standing ovation. Storm said that they appreciated the fans' applause, but they are more determined than ever to win the titles. Jericho said that they came pretty close to capturing the belts at SummerSlam and promised that next time they'll win the gold. Jericho then challenged the Hollywood Blonds to a rematch for the titles! Before the next match, Jerry Lawler revealed that he had a very special guest scheduled to appear on the King's Court this Monday night. When pressed by Vince McMahon, Lawler refused to say who it was and said he would have to wait to find out just like everybody else! Taz pinned Scott Taylor with the Tazplex in 0:02:52. Scott Taylor suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 5 months. Rating: ** Before the match, Gary Hart slapped Scott Taylor in the face - because he knows Taz has his back. Taylor went after Hart and, sure enough, Taz jumped him and clubbed him with crossfaces. Taz dropped Taylor on his neck with the Tazplex for the quick win. During the match, Gary Hart cut an insert promo in which he referred to Taz as a "One Man Crime Spree" who would dump people on their heads until he had gold around his waist. Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler closed the show by discussing the WWF Title Match from this past Monday at SummerSlam, which ended in a cheap disqualification finish when Harley Race attacked The Undertaker. McMahon announced that WWF Champion Big Van Vader will be in the house this week on Monday Night Raw and wondered if the Reaper will be there to greet him. Circuit information: We don't know much about Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz's ball playing skills, but on the evidence of tonight's showing he is a very capable grappler. We do know however that during his career in the baseball leagues he earned the moniker "MVP" - that's "Most Violent Player" - for his actions on the field. WWF Superstars should take note. Gary Hart wants everyone to believe that Taz is the scariest, most dangerous man on the planet. Scott Taylor will never forget his clash with the One Man Crime Spree tonight as he came away with a seriously messed up neck following a series of vicious suplexes. No word yet from WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds following the challenge thrown out by the Thrillseekers tonight for a title rematch. Fatu of the Headshrinkers suffered a very serious injury to his left knee sustained in an untelevised dark match. Early estimates suggest that Fatu will be out of action for up to six months. We hope you'll join us live for Monday Night RAW this coming week for a packed show. We'll bring you the best two out of three falls bout between Owen Hart and Great Muta. If this contest is even half as good as their classic at SummerSlam then we are in for a treat! Also, Jeff Jarrett will be in action and Jerry Lawler presents an edition of the King's Court in which he has promised a surprise guest. Plus, with WWF Champion Big Van Vader scheduled to appear, surely The Undertaker will not be too far behind?
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/06/11 at 22:18:55 Monday Night RAW September 5th, 1994 Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW started with a highlights package from SummerSlam, featuring Scott Steiner capturing the Intercontinental Championship from Razor Ramon (thanks to Shawn Michaels), Crush outlasting Barry Windham in an intense Stretcher Match, Owen Hart and Gret Muta tearing the house down in a scorching battle and Big Van Vader retaining the WWF Championship with a cheap disqualification loss to The Undertaker. Vader and his manager Harley Race were then shown arriving at the arena, with Vince McMahon informing viewers that he will interview the WWF Champion later on the show. Two-out-of-three-Falls Match: Owen Hart beat Great Muta 2 falls to 1: x Muta beat O. Hart via an Oklahoma side roll in 0:07:41 x O. Hart beat Muta via a rolling reverse cradle into a bridge in 0:11:53 x O. Hart beat Muta via disqualification in 0:18:18 Rating: * 1/4 [Victor and Manuel interfered against Owen Hart.] These two men picked up where they left off at SummerSlam, wrestling at breakneck pace. Owen Hart was unsuccessful with a missile dropkick and Great Muta capitalised with a spinning kick straight to the jaw, following up with a roll-up for the first fall of the match. The Rocket was on level terms four minutes later after Muta missed a dropkick and Owen rolled him up, bridging back to secure the three count. As both men caught their breath in the thirty second rest period before the third and deciding fall, The Arabian Butchers made their way down to ringside. Owen looked concerned as the show went to commercial. Both superstars pulled out all the stops to try and win the final fall, but the presence of the Arabian Butchers at ringside was throwing Owen Hart off his game. Owen went up top for the Rocket Launcher, but became distracted as the Butchers began to advance. Muta made him pay for his hesitation by taking him down with a superplex, but the Rocket rolled out of the way of The Pearl of the Orient's moonsault. Owen and Muta traded more near falls before The Rocket caught Muta coming off the ropes and planted him with a brutal sitout Tombstone! The match was certainly over but before the official could record the three count, The Arabian Butchers hit the ring and attacked Owen Hart! The referee had disqualified Great Muta but the action was not finished there. The Arabian Butchers laid out Owen Hart with a double press slam and crushed him with their splash and legdrop combination. With Gary Hart looking on approvingly, the Butchers scraped Owen off the mat and held him in place for a succession of kicks by Muta. Suddenly, Crush came bounding down the aisle with a steel chair! Crush cracked the chair across the backs of Manuel and Victor as Gary Hart and Great Muta bailed out of the ring!! The Butchers tried to enter the ring again but Crush fought them off with the chair. Gary Hart convinced his men to retreat while the Original Hawaiian Punch challenged them to get back in for more! Jeff Jarrett pinned Barry Horowitz with the Encore in 0:04:14. Rating: [Tennessee Lee interfered against Barry Horowitz.] Jeff Jarrett effortlessly defeated Barry Horowitz tonight with his running DDT. However, just as the contest was drawing to a close, Man Mountain Rock hobbled down to the ring and went after The Roadie! Rock threw the Roadie around ringside until Double J snuck up behind him and kicked him in the back of the knee - the same knee that the Roadie had clipped at SummerSlam. Jarrett and Roadie proceeded to lay a vicious beating on Rock, focussed on Rock's injured knee. Jarrett and Roadie positioned Rock so that they could smash his leg into the ringpost, but before they could complete the dastardly act Tito Santana made the save. Santana, who has had problems with Jarrett in the past, sent Double J and the Roadie packing. Tito Santana helped Man Mountain Rock to the back during the commercial break. An excited Jerry "The King" Lawler presented another edition of the King's Court. Familiar music started to play and Rick "The Model" Martel made his way down to the ring! Martel explained that he had taken a sabbatical in Milan in order to live the high life, attend fashion shows and remind the world that he is one of the sexiest men alive. Martel explained that on his time off, he became friends with an Italian model who has the body of an adonis. Martel decided to train this man in the art of professional wrestling and expressed his disbelief at how quickly his new student picked things up. The Model said that this man is now ready to debut as his new tag team partner and then introduced the world to Raphael! This new superstar came down to the ring carrying something in his hand. Martel presented the Federation's newest tag team - The Supermodels - and claimed they would be tag team champions soon! Backstage, Crush was with Owen Hart as the latter received medical attention. Sean Mooney asked Crush why he had gone after the Arabian Butchers earlier. Crush said that he hadn't forgotten how the Butchers had jumped him prior to the King of the Ring, which resulted in him going into the WWF Title tournament at less than 100%. Crush said that Manuel and Victor are the first names on his hit list and he warned the rest of Black Friday Management to stay out of his way! Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Joey Stallings and Barry Hardy when Luca pinned B. Hardy after the Podium Finish in 0:06:40. Rating: * 1/4 Vince McMahon introduced WWF Champion Big Van Vader, along with Harley Race, for an in-ring interview. Vader threatened several fans who held up pro-Undertaker posters on his way to the ring. McMahon asked the two men that following the events of SummerSlam, did they seriously believe that they had seen the last of The Undertaker? Before Race or Vader managed to utter a word, the lights went out and the bell tolled! The roof almost came off the arena as The Undertaker methodically walked down the aisle. Vader came out to meet him and the two superstars brawled on the floor. Vader laid in some rabbit punches and posted the Phenom. The WWF Champion threw the Man from the Darkside back into the ring and went for the Vader Bomb, but 'Taker rolled out of the way. Undertaker came back with a flying clothesline which sent the Mastodon to the outside. It looked like The Undertaker was lining up another dive onto Vader, but Harley Race scuppered those plans with a chair shot to the back. Undertaker no-sold the blow and then decked Race! As the crowd voiced their approval, Undertaker signalled the end for Harley Race! On the outside, Big Van Vader pulled out a toolbox from under the ring and found a large wrench. The Undertaker grabbed Harley Race around the throat and went for the choke slam, but Vader took out Undertaker's knee with the wrench! With the Deadman down on one knee, the WWF Champion smashed him square in the face with the wrench, silencing the crowd! Race dragged the lifeless body of the Undertaker into position and Vader proceeded to deliver three consecutive Vader Bombs which impacted directly on The Undertaker's face!! Vader was eventually dragged away by officials and road agents as The Undertaker lay motionless on the canvas. Paul Bearer implored The Undertaker to sit up as he raised the urn aloft, but there was no movement from the Deadman. Bearer clutched the urn close to his chest and wailed as the show drew to a close. Circuit information: We witnessed a scene of complete and utter carnage here tonight on Monday Night RAW as WWF Champion Big Van Vader attempted to crush the face of The Undertaker. Vader struck the Deadman in the face with a heavy metal wrench and then followed up with three Vader Bombs, bringing his 450-pound frame down repeatedly on the Undertaker's damaged body part. We have no update on The Undertaker's condition for you yet, but we can only imagine the unbelievable damage that the Deadman suffered in this inhumane assault. Crush made it clear that he is coming after the Arabian Butchers, remembering the beating he suffered at their hands back in June. However, surely Crush is risking the wrath of the other members of Black Friday Management by targeting two of their card carrying members? Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie were intent on shortening Man Mountain Rock's career as they went after the same knee that was injured at SummerSlam. The consequences do not bear thinking about had Jarrett and the Roadie managed to drive Rock's knee into the steel ringpost. Thankfully, Tito Santana was on hand to prevent Rock suffering any further injury - Santana may just have saved Man Mountain Rock's career tonight. The Supermodels - Rick Martel and the mysterious newcomer Raphael - are the latest team to join the company's swelling tag team ranks. Their first outing as a team will be in two weeks. Don't missed a jam-packed episode of Superstars this weekend, where Shawn Michaels and the Lightning Kid will finally square off one-on-one! In addition, we'll bring you an interview with "Dynamite" Tom Billington, plus Bam Bam Bigelow, Bad News Brown, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers and The Thrillseekers will all be in action! We'll hopefully be able to bring you an update on the condition of The Undertaker as well. Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 02/18/11 at 22:55:43 WWF Superstars September 10th, 1994 Civic Center, Portland, ME Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with footage documenting the recent history between The Lightning Kid and Shawn Michaels. Michaels sidelined the Lightning Kid with a neck injury when he piledrove him on the steel steps during the course of their singles match on Monday Night RAW on July 11th. The Heartbreak Kid offered up a bag of twinkies as part of a disingenuous apology three weeks later but with help from Razor Ramon, the Kid ended up doing a number on Michaels and shoved the twinkies in his face! Tonight, Michaels and the Lightning Kid get the opportunity to settle the score! The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated Tony DeVito and Paul Van Dale when J. Rougeau pinned P. Van Dale after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:04:53. Rating: * 1/4 During the match, the Rougeaus cut an insert promo in which they stated their desire to right a few wrongs now that they were back as a team, the first of which being that they have never held the WWF Tag Team Titles. Raymond Rougeau took a shot at the British Bulldogs, adding that you would never see this particular family falling apart. Bad News Brown pinned Tim McNeany with the Ghetto Blaster in 0:03:38. Rating: * 1/4 (Todd Mata no-showed.) During the bout, Bad News Brown cut an insert promo in which he questioned whether WWF officials had the guts to book a WWF Championship Match between himself and Big Van Vader. "Dynamite" Tom Billington came out to the podium for an interview with Gene Okerlund. Billington, who was accompanied as ever by Tammy Fytch, claimed that he was fixed to give Davey Boy Smith the beating of his miserable life at SummerSlam. His version of events were that Smith attacked the referee, thereby saving himself any further punishment from Billington. Billington reacted angrily when Okerlund suggested that it was Billington that was on the receiving end of the beating when Davey Boy snapped and shoved down the ref. Billington yelled that if Smith ever wants another shot at him, Davey Boy will be left broken both mentally and physically! With that remark, Davey Boy Smith exploded out from the entranceway and tackled Tom Billington on the interview podium. Smith smashed the back of Billington's head repeatedly off the ground until Tammy Fytch got involved and raked Smith's eyes! Davey Boy threw Fytch off but then walked into a stiff forearm from Billington which sent him flying off the podium onto the concrete floor below. Billington jumped onto Smith and the two men traded stiff punches before a ton of referees and suits came out to split up the pair. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Duane Gill with the Diving Headbutt in 0:04:04. Rating: * Gary Hart, who is on location in Europe negotiating a deal with the newest member of Black Friday Management, cut a promo on Crush. Hart warned Crush that you cannot simply single out one or two members of Black Friday Management. If you want to fight one of us, Hart said, then you have to fight all of us! The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Butch Banks and Chad Miller when Jericho pinned C. Miller after the Sudden Impact in 0:05:20. Rating: 1/2 After the match, Vince McMahon grabbed a few words with The Thrillseekers at ringside. Lance Storm revealed that they hadn't heard anything from the Hollywood Blonds and again challenged Brian Pillman and Steve Austin to a Tag Team Title Match. Chris Jericho reiterated his and Storm's desire to one day become WWF Tag Team Champions. Following the commercial break, Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Big Van Vader's violent attack on The Undertaker this past week on Monday Night RAW. McMahon said that they were prohibited from showing any footage of the assault as it has been deemed too graphic for TV. Lawler thought that Vader had succeeded in burying The Undertaker six feet under permanently! Shawn Michaels defeated Lightning Kid by disqualification in 0:14:20. Rating: 3/4 [Razor Ramon interfered against Shawn Michaels.] The action in this match-up was lightning quick - pardon the pun - in the early going. The Lightning Kid began to dominate, punishing Shawn Michaels with kicks and an incredible springboard plancha. The Kid nearly won it with a German suplex which earned a near fall. Outside the squared circle, the Kid sent Michaels into the ringpost and went for a dive off the apron, but the Heartbreak Kid countered with a powerslam on the floor! Michaels began to mount an offence with backbreakers and a superplex. The Lightning Kid fired back with a spinning leg lariat but missed with a flying somersault sexton and Michaels connected with a superkick. The match was seemingly in the bag for Michaels as he drilled the Kid with a piledriver. However, the Heartbreak Kid refused to cover and instead piledrove the Kid again. Michaels was obviously only out to damage the Kid's neck again instead of winning the contest. HBK ignored the warnings from the official and hit a third piledriver. Michaels set up for yet another when suddenly Razor Ramon ran out from the back to an enormous ovation! As the Bad Guy hit the ring, Michaels cast the Kid aside and bailed out of the ring! Michaels hightailed it through the crowd with Ramon in hot pursuit while the official checked on the condition of the Lightning Kid. Out in the parking lot, Shawn Michaels got in his rental car and sped off before Razor Ramon could catch him. Ramon punched several dents into a nearby dumpster out of sheer frustration as the show went off air! Circuit information: The bitter and violent feud between Tom Billington and Davey Boy Smith exploded once again tonight on Superstars. Nothing was settled between the warring cousins at SummerSlam and tonight they had to be separated as emotions ran high. With so much ill-feeling between the two men, it is hard to see an end in sight for this grudge. Razor Ramon is desperate to get his hands on Shawn Michaels after the Heartbreak Kid cost him the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam. The slippery Michaels managed to evade the Bad Guy tonight and sped off into the night in his getaway car. We're scheduled to hear from the fiery Ramon this week on Monday Night RAW. It's extremely rude to keep people waiting and the Hollywood Blonds are not renowned for their manners. It has been nearly two weeks since SummerSlam and we are yet to get a response from the Tag Team Champions regarding the Thrillseekers' challenge to a rematch for the titles. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers were victorious on their return to the WWF tag team ranks tonight. The Rougeaus' mission statement this time around is clear - win the Tag Team Titles which they failed to capture during their first run. We are hoping to bring you an update on the condition of The Undertaker this coming week on Monday Night RAW. In addition, Tatanka, The Birdman and the Big Boss Man are all set for action plus, in a singles attraction, Adam Bomb battles Marty Jannetty! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/08/11 at 23:10:10 Monday Night RAW September 12th, 1994 Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with comments from Marty Jannetty and Adam Bomb ahead of their feature bout on tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW. Jannetty vowed to diffuse Adam Bomb this evening, while Bomb said he would be a towering inferno tonight and promised to destroy Jannetty on behalf of his manager, Harvey Wippleman. Adam Bomb pinned Marty Jannetty with the Atom Smasher in 0:09:02. Rating: *** [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Marty Jannetty.] [The Warlord interfered against Marty Jannetty.] Adam Bomb pinned Marty Jannetty for the second straight time tonight, thanks to interference from The Warlord. The victory was particularly sweet for Wippleman who had his nose broken by Jannetty several months ago. Jannetty avoided a slingshot clothesline and connected with a superkick. Wippleman attempted to distract Jannetty, but Jannetty hit the Rocker Dropper and went for the cover. Bomb got his foot on the rope and then as Wippleman took the ref, The Warlord snapped Jannetty's neck on the top rope. Bomb then followed up with a power bomb and that was all she wrote. Stills were shown of Big Van Vader's brutal attack on The Undertaker on last week's show. Vince McMahon then revealed that the Deadman suffered a broken orbital bone and a serious concussion following Vader's assault. McMahon couldn't provide any timescale for when The Undertaker would return to action, but said he would interview the WWF Champion Big Van Vader later on the show. Big Boss Man pinned Who with the Boss Man Slam in 0:03:44. Rating: * Friar Ferguson hosted another edition of the Sermon. His guest this week was former Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon, who lost the gold to Scott Steiner at SummerSlam thanks to interference from Shawn Michaels. Ramon announced that he was invoking his rematch clause and he would face Steiner soon. When Ferguson brought up the subject of the Heartbreak Kid, Ramon responded by saying, "First, I'm gonna get my gold back, then Boy Toy, I'm gonna get YOU back!" Tatanka pinned Terra Ryzing with the End of the Trail in 0:03:57. Rating: * 1/2 Gary Hart cut a promo from Finland, where he was busy completing a deal for Black Friday Management's latest acquisition, Ludvig Borga. Hart put over Borga as one of the toughest men in Europe with a career in show-fighting and boxing. Hart claimed that Borga had left a string of bodies in his wake after Borga defended himself in bar brawls. Hart was confident that Borga could not be defeated and said he would be coming to the WWF very soon. The Birdman pinned PJ Walker with the One Fell Swoop in 0:06:53. Rating: * It appeared that on several occasions during this contest that PJ Walker would finally pick up his first victory in the WWF. Walker scored near falls with a backslide, a small package and a sunset flip, but when he went for a flying cross body The Birdman side-stepped. The Birdman made Walker pay for his rookie mistake and put him away with the One Fell Swoop. After the match, Bob Backlund emerged from the back and applauded the effort of young PJ Walker. The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated Tom Stone and Rock Warner when Beau pinned T. Stone after the Shaker Heights Spike in 0:04:31. Rating: * 1/2 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Tom Stone.] After another impressive showing by the Beverly Brothers, Tammy Fytch took the mic and addressed the crowd. Fytch acknowledged that there had been several new additions to the WWF tag team roster recently, but the fact remains that the Beverly Brothers are still the best team around. WWF Champion Big Van Vader and his manager Harley Race came out to the ring for an interview with Vince McMahon. McMahon scolded the duo for their reprehensible actions on last week's show, but Race simply laughed at his face. Race said that last week, they broke the myth of The Undertaker. Big Van Vader disgusted McMahon by claiming that last week he heard The Deadman's bones break and face shatter when he caved The Undertaker's face in! Race screamed into the camera that The Undertaker was now finished and will be gone forever as Vader intimidated the fans around ringside! Circuit information: Big Van Vader and Harley Race are confident that they have rid the WWF of The Undertaker following last week's sickening assault. But who will be next to step up to the plate and challenge the Mastodon for the WWF Championship? We await a decision on the number one contender to the WWF Title from Jack Tunney's office. Razor Ramon is determined to recapture the Intercontinental Championship from Scott Steiner and from there The Bad Guy will deal with Shawn Michaels. We can confirm that Jack Tunney has agreed to book this SummerSlam rematch at a date to be announced. Scott Steiner, along with Tammy Fytch, will give their thoughts on next week's show. Join us this weekend for Superstars, where Taz, Duke Droese and Davey Boy Smith will be in action! Also, The Hollywood Blonds are confirmed to be at the show - will they finally give an answer to The Thrillseekers' challenge of a Tag Team Title rematch? Plus, in our feature contest, Mr Perfect squares off with the mad monk himself, Friar Ferguson! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/16/11 at 19:49:51 WWF Superstars September 17th, 1994 Civic Center, Portland, ME Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with Max Moon and Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly making their way down to the ring. McMahon revealed that Moon and Holly had enjoyed teaming together so much at SummerSlam that they were going to form a semi-regular team called Space Race. Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Todd Baker and Butler Stevens when M. Moon pinned B. Stevens with the Moon Landing in 0:07:22. Rating: ** The new team of Space Race chalked up their first victory tonight on Superstars, using fast paced, high flying manoeuvres to dazzle their opponents. Vince McMahon invited the WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds down to the ring for an interview. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin explained that they had spent the past few weeks in Hollywood auditioning for various TV and movie roles. McMahon brought up their closely fought match with the Thrillseekers at SummerSlam, but Austin brushed off the effort of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm and said that once again the Blonds had proved that they are the best team in the sport today. McMahon pressed the champions on the Thrillseekers' challenge to a rematch and said that Jericho and Storm deserve one. Pillman rejected the offer, citing the fact that they had beaten them already. The Thrillseekers then came down to the ring to confront the champions. Chris Jericho suggested that either he or Storm face one of the Blonds next week in a singles match, with the Thrillseekers getting their rematch if they are victorious. Pillman and Austin conferred briefly and then Austin said that they would accept on the condition that they get to choose who wrestles who. McMahon was delighted that they had a deal and whipped the crowd into a frenzy about the pending singles bout. Suddenly, the Hollywood Blonds jumped the Thrillseekers from behind, knocking Storm out of the ring! Pillman took the mic and said that next week it will be Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho, before Austin drilled Jericho in the head with one of the championship belts!! Jericho was busted wide open as a result of the belt shot. The Blonds left the ring pleased with their dirty work while McMahon tended to the bloody Jericho. Duke Droese pinned Red Tyler with the Trash Compactor in 0:03:47. Rating: DUD During this contest, Duke Droese invited more WWF superstars to challenge for his Hardcore Championship. Gary Hart cut another promo from Helsinki in Finland. There was a shadow of a large man working out with a punching bag in the background. Hart said that the deal to bring Ludvig Borga to Black Friday Management was signed and sealed. Hart again referenced Borga's amateur boxing prowess, noting that he has never lost an amateur fight. Hart added that Borga wields a super punch of almost 2,000psi and when it connects with any of the superstars of the World Wrestling Federation, they'll never get back up! Taz pinned Billy Joe Eaton with the Tazplex in 0:02:15. Rating: * 1/2 Another annihilation here tonight from Taz, as the man from Red Hook easily dominated his opponent with some mat wrestling before unloading with some sick suplexes. During the bout, the Big Boss Man cut an insert promo in which he referred to Taz's "One Man Crime Spree" moniker. Boss Man warned that in the WWF, he's here to stop crime. Poor Billy Joe Eaton had to be helped from the ring following the beating from Taz. Back from the break and Afa led his New Headshrinkers to the ring. Vince McMahon revealed that Afa had recruited another family member - Sionne - to replace Fatu in the team. Sionne, who competed in wrestling boots, appeared to be more civilised than any other Samoan we had ever seen in the WWF. The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu) defeated Tom O'Sullivan and Richie Rich when Sionne pinned T. O'Sullivan after a kick to the head in 0:05:04. Rating: 3/4* The big powerhouse Sionne certainly made an impression on his first night in, scoring the win for his team by almost decapitating Tom O'Sullivan with a vicious kick to the face! Davey Boy Smith, set for singles competition tonight, made his entrance to a tremendous ovation from the crowd. All of a sudden, Smith was ambushed by Tom Billington in the aisle, who ran him into the steel steps! Billington mounted Smith and peppered him with a succession of stiff punches. Smith managed to throw Billington off and tackled him into the guardrail. Security were quickly on the scene to break up the fight, but the crowd wanted to see them go! Smith and Billington continued to try and get a shot in on each other, when WWF President Jack Tunney appeared and demanded that the two men stop fighting. Tunney said that this situation between the two cannot go on and warned that if there is any physicality outside of a sanctioned match, they will both be suspended indefinitely!! Billington and Smith glared at each other as the show went to commercial. Mr. Perfect pinned Friar Ferguson after an inside cradle in 0:07:56. Rating: ** Mr. Perfect walked into a hiptoss and a couple of bodyslams from Friar Ferguson in the early going, sending Perfect outside to regroup. Perfect took over on the mad monk with a sleeperhold and then foolishly went for a bodyslam which nearly resulted in a win for Ferguson! Ferguson missed an avalanche in the corner and Perfect rolled him up, grabbing a handful of the monk's robe for the three count! Circuit information: The stage is set for next week on Superstars. If Steve Austin loses to Chris Jericho, that guarantees a return match for The Thrillseekers to challenge for the Tag Team Titles. However, the Hollywood Blonds gained the upper hand this evening as Austin struck Jericho with a wicked belt shot leaving the young Canadian a bloody mess. WWF President Jack Tunney took drastic action here tonight to deal with the situation between Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington, and not before time. If either man lays a finger on the other outside of a legally sanctioned match, their contract will be terminated! Afa has recruited Sionne to fill in for the injured Fatu in the Headshrinkers team and Sionne is quite different compared to Fatu and Samu. You might even say that Sionne is more "barbaric" than the other family members. Gary Hart is excited at the prospect of "The Hellraiser from Helsinki" Ludvig Borga debuting in the WWF. Rumour has it that Borga's punch is like getting hit with a sledgehammer! We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW, where we'll bring you a huge tag team match in which Man Mountain Rock and Jeff Jarrett will continue their grudge as Rock teams with Tito Santana to face the duo of Jarrett and The Roadie! Also, the Supermodels will debut as a team and we'll bring you an interview with Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/20/11 at 21:37:15 Monday Night RAW September 19th, 1994 Lowell, MA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. This week's edition of Monday Night Raw opened with a promo from Man Mountain Rock, who expressed his thanks to Tito Santana for coming to his aid two weeks ago during a mugging by Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie. Rock vowed to squeeze Jarrett by the throat so hard that he will never be able to sing another note! Man Mountain Rock and Tito Santana waited in the ring for their opponents as Tennessee Lee and The Roadie appeared sans Jeff Jarrett. Lee explained that Double J is not here tonight, but in Memphis doing the media rounds promoting his latest hit single! Rock was furious. Tennessee Lee continued that he had a replacement - the roughest, toughest, meanest man in the WWF - Billy Gunn! As Gunn came out from the back doing what could loosely be described as dancing, Lee said that he had made Gunn an offer he couldn't refuse to join Tennessee Lee Promotions. The fans were upset at Billy Gunn's change of attitude. Billy Gunn and The Roadie defeated Man Mountain Rock and Tito Santana when Billy Gunn pinned Santana with the Flying Legdrop in 0:10:48. Rating: ** 3/4 (Jeff Jarrett no-showed.) Man Mountain Rock was livid at the no-show by Jeff Jarrett and it was Billy Gunn and The Roadie who bore the brunt of his frustration. However, Tennessee Lee Promotions would emerge victorious and it was Billy Gunn who scored the fall. The Roadie tackled Tito Santana by the legs and held him down as Gunn delivered a flying legdrop to the back of the head for the pinfall! Vince McMahon announced that Tatanka will face Bad News Brown next week in a singles contest to determine the number one contender to the WWF Championship, currently in the possession of Big Van Vader. The Berzerker pinned Barry Hardy after a kick to the head in 0:01:42. Rating: -1/4* The Berzerker displayed signs tonight that he is learning from his association with Friar Ferguson. The Berzerker sent Barry Hardy over the top rope with a big boot but instead of settling for the count out win, the Berzerker threw Hardy back in and pinned him. Backstage, Bob Backlund approached PJ Walker in the dressing room. Backlund said he had studied the youngster's recent performances and been impressed with what he had seen. Backlund offered to take Walker under his wing and mentor him, suggesting that with his help Walker could become one of the all-time greats in the WWF. Backlund left Walker daydreaming of one day becoming WWF Champion. Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz made Jason Knight submit to the Seventh Inning Stretch in 0:04:46. Rating: * 1/4 Paul Bearer cut a promo on Big Van Vader and Harley Race regarding the injuries suffered by The Undertaker. Bearer warned that their souls will be spend an eternity in hell! The Supermodels - Rick Martel and Raphael - strutted out from the back where they were greeted by the paparazzi. Martel and Raphael struck poses for the photographers as they made their way down the aisle. Raphael had the same object in his hand that was remarked on two weeks ago. The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) defeated Steve King and Mark Marachio when Martel pinned M. Marachio after the Catwalk Slam in 0:06:53. Rating: * The object Raphael had in his hand was a mask which he donned before the match started. He then would work around not trying to get hit in the face, making it apparent that the mask was not some attempt to conceal his identity but rather to prevent his face from taking any possible damage. This was a squash that ended with the two Supermodels hitting the "Catwalk Slam" onto Mark Marachio, an impressive double suplex slam. Lightning Kid pinned Tony Roy with the Lightning Bolt in 0:03:25. Rating: * The Lightning Kid was victorious here tonight but was still showing the effects of his recent neck injury after the bout. Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan hyped up the singles match this coming week on Superstars between Chris Jericho and Steve Austin. If Jericho wins, he and Lance Storm will get another shot at The Hollywood Blonds' Tag Team Titles. The announcers were interrupted by Mr. Perfect phoning in to the show. Perfect was irate that Tatanka was booked in a number one contenders match and not him. Perfect vowed to show up to Superstars to make his feelings known in person before hanging up! WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner made his way down to the ring for an interview with Gene Okerlund. Steiner was accompanied as always by Tammy Fytch, who was looking extremely pleased with herself. Fytch fawned over the new Intercontinental Champion, before turning on everybody who dismissed her as a silly little girl. Fytch put herself over as a talented and ruthless businesswoman who had guided Steiner to a singles championship. She said that Fytch Wrestling Enterprises would become the most powerful group in the WWF. Okerlund brought up Steiner's pending rematch with former champion Razor Ramon. Steiner said that he wasn't worried - he'd beaten Ramon at the King of the Ring and again at SummerSlam, so it won't be a problem to drop him directly on his greasy head with the SSD and beat him again! Okerlund suggested that it may be a different story this time as the rematch between Steiner and Ramon, which will take place in two weeks, will be contested inside the confines of a 15-foot high steel cage!! Steiner and Fytch exploded with rage at the shocking news, which was greeted with approval from the crowd! Okerlund revealed that WWF President Jack Tunney made this decision in order to prevent interference from outside forces!! Fytch screeched about another conspiracy as Monday Night RAW due to a close! Circuit information: Normally, steel cage matches are necessary to keep two competitors inside. However, WWF President Jack Tunney has decreed that the Intercontinental Title rematch between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon should take place inside the blue bars to prevent anyone from outside getting involved. Tunney is obviously concerned at the prospect of Shawn Michaels interfering again in a match between these two men after he cost the Bad Guy the title at SummerSlam. Steiner and Fytch are not happy about this development to say the least, but it is the chance for Steiner to really make a statement if he can defeat Ramon by himself. Tennessee Lee has recruited another man to his stable, none other than Billy Gunn. Lee has stated that from this point forward, he wants Gunn to be referred only by his new moniker, Rockabilly. It was a timely move by Lee after Jeff Jarrett decided not to show up to Monday Night RAW tonight. We have been assured that Double J will be fined heavily for missing the show but it is doubtful that this will appease Man Mountain Rock, who is desperate to get his hands on Jarrett again. The Supermodels picked up an easy win in their tag team debut tonight and the big Italian Raphael certainly appears to have all the tools to go far in the WWF. But what an obsessively narcissistic attitude this guy has. He wears a mask when he competes not to conceal his face or identity, but rather to protect his face from scarring or bruising during matches. It's going to be a massive weekend on Superstars as Chris Jericho and Steve Austin will do battle in a singles match, with the stipulation that if Jericho is victorious the Thrillseekers will get a rematch with the Hollywood Blonds for the Tag Team Titles! Plus, Crush, Bam Bam Bigelow and Owen Hart are all set for action in a jam-packed show! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 03/24/11 at 20:15:41 WWF Superstars September 24th, 1994 Green Bay, WI Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show began with a video package documenting the recent history between WWF Tag Team Champions The Hollywood Blonds and The Thrillseekers. The young Canadians Lance Storm and Chris Jericho came within an eyelash of capturing the gold at SummerSlam. If Jericho can defeat "Stunning" Steve Austin in tonight's main event, he'll earn another shot at the titles for his team. Crush made Ben Jordan submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:02:17. Rating: * 1/2 (Black Phantom no-showed.) After finishing off his opponent with ease, Crush took the mic and challenged the Arabian Butchers to a match. Crush said it didn't matter if it was two-on-one and vowed to take them down. Vince McMahon revealed that the much ballyhooed debut of Ludvig Borga will take place next week on Superstars. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Bill Mata and Nick Barberry when Lars pinned N. Barberry after the Podium Finish in 0:04:44. Rating: 3/4* [Alundra interfered against Bill Mata.] Footage was shown of Tennessee Lee introducing Rockabilly as the newest member of his stable on Monday Night RAW. Rockabilly replaced the absent Jeff Jarrett as tag team partner of The Roadie for a match with Man Mountain Rock and Tito Santana, which Tennessee Lee Promotions won. Man Mountain Rock then cut a promo, criticising Jarrett for being too gutless to show up last Monday night. Rock vowed to walk all the way to Nashville if that's what it takes to get his hands on Double J. Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Scott Avery after a slingshot splash in 0:06:04. Rating: * Mr. Perfect made his way out to the interview podium where he was greeted by Gene Okerlund. Perfect did not look happy and the unfavourable reaction from the crowd did not help his mood. Okerlund started to ask a question but Perfect cut him off. Perfect discussed the match this coming week on Monday Night RAW between Tatanka and Bad News Brown which will determine who gets the next title shot against WWF Champion Big Van Vader. Perfect was furious that Tatanka - a man he had beaten countless times - was being considered for a title shot and not him. Perfect bragged about his recent winning streak, but Okerlund interrupted and suggested that WWF officials hadn't been impressed with the manner that Perfect wins most of his bouts! Perfect glared at Okerlund and appeared that he was going to deck the interviewer, before storming off. Owen Hart pinned Sid Garrison with the Rocket Launcher in 0:05:10. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, Owen Hart took the mic and, noting his own problems with Black Friday Management, offered to be Crush's partner to face the Arabian Bucthers. Crush made his way down to the ring and shook hands with the Rocket as a sign of acceptance. Chris Jericho pinned Steve Austin after a small package in 0:12:01. Rating: *** 1/4 [Brian Pillman interfered against Chris Jericho.] Both Steve Austin and Chris Jericho's respective tag team partners, Brian Pillman and Lance Storm, seconded their men for the match. It did not take long for Austin to focus his attack on Jericho's bandaged head, tearing off the dressing and scratching at the cut underneath. Pillman and Storm got into it at ringside, with Pillman sending Storm crashing into the ringsteps. As the official checked on Storm, Pillman got on the apron and grabbed hold of Jericho so Austin could line up an elbowsmash. Austin charged, but Jericho ducked out of the way and Pillman took the blow, sending him down hard to the floor! Jericho then small packaged the distracted Austin for the three count, almost blowing the roof off the arena! Lance Storm superkicked Brian Pillman outside the ring for good measure before joining his partner. The Thrillseekers celebrated this huge win which guarantees them another shot at the Tag Team Titles. Embarrassed and humiliated, Steve Austin helped Pillman back to the dressing room while Storm and Jericho basked in the adulation of the crowd! Circuit information: A malfunction at the junction proved costly for the Hollywood Blonds tonight as it led to Chris Jericho defeating Steve Austin, thereby earning the Thrillseekers a rematch for the Tag Team Titles. Chris Jericho and Lance Storm were unlucky not to leave SummerSlam with the gold. Can they go one better the next time they face the Blonds for the titles? Crush has agreed to team up with Owen Hart to take on the Arabian Butchers in two weeks on Superstars. There are a lot of scores to be settled in this bout! Despite Mr Perfect's objections, Tatanka will square off with Bad News Brown this week on Monday Night RAW to determine the number one contender to Big Van Vader's WWF Championship. Also scheduled for action are the Big Boss Man and the Great Muta plus, can PJ Walker - now under the tutelage of Bob Backlund - record his first victory when he collides with Skinner? Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/03/11 at 20:32:04 Monday Night RAW September 26th, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show began with comments from both Tatanka and Bad News Brown ahead of their number one contenders match tonight. Tatanka said that with the power of his people and the spirit above, he will defeat Brown and go on to become WWF Champion. Bad News threatened to pluck the feathers off the Native American like a turkey and added that there will be only good news when the match is over as he'll finally get his WWF title shot! Number-One-Contenders-Match: Tatanka pinned Bad News Brown after a belly-to-back suplex in 0:09:08. Rating: ** 1/4 Tatanka took control early on with several overhand chops and right hands. The brawl spilled to the floor with Tatanka sending Bad News Brown head-first into the ring post. The Native American scored with a flying cross body press which earned a near fall. Tatanka ate Bad News' boot on a corner charge and Brown's street fighting style came to the fore. Bad News viciously chopped away at Tatanka and rammed the Native American's head repeatedly into the turnbuckle. Bad News missed the Ghetto Blaster though and Tatanka capitalised with a back suplex near the ropes. Tatanka then draped his arm over Brown for the three count out of nowhere! Bad News Brown was furious at the result. He confronted referee Mike Chioda after the match and yelled that his foot had been under the bottom rope, so Tatanka's victory should not stand. Chioda explained that he hadn't seen it and there was nothing he could do, so Brown grabbed him and slung him out of the ring! Brown was on his way to confront Vince McMahon at the announcers' table as the show went to commercial! When the show returned from the break, Vince McMahon revealed that WWF officials and road agents had finally succeeded in convincing an irate Bad News Brown to return to the dressing room and cool off. Footage of the finish to the previous match was then shown and it clearly showed that Brown's foot had been under the bottom rope. McMahon acknowledged the bad call from the referee, while Bobby Heenan said that Tatanka can consider himself to be the luckiest man in New York tonight. Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Reno Riggins and Chris Kanyon when M. Moon pinned Kanyon after a Frankensteiner in 0:05:48. Rating: * 3/4 Razor Ramon cut a promo on Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner ahead of their steel cage match for the title on next week's show. Ramon was pleased with the fact that it will be one on one - mano e mano - when they get inside the steel cage. The Bad Guy warned that there will be nowhere for Steiner to run and nowhere to hide. Ramon vowed to bring the Intercontinental Championship back to where it rightfully belongs. Backstage, Bob Backlund was going through some last minute preparation with PJ Walker ahead of the youngster's bout with Skinner later in the show. Vince McMahon remarked that Backlund has spent hours upon hours this week coaching Walker as he sees serious potential in the young man. Big Boss Man pinned Terra Ryzing with the Boss Man Slam in 0:03:32. Rating: * 1/2 After the match, as the Big Boss Man left to return to the dressing room, he had a confrontation with the Black Friday Management trio of Gary Hart, Kimona and the Great Muta in the aisle. Hart entered the ring, took the microphone and addressed the Big Boss Man. Hart informed the Boss Man that Taz had heard Boss Man's remarks about him. Hart warned Boss Man that the former corrections officer had now stepped into the path of rage, and any man who stands in Taz's path of rage will be mowed down. Great Muta pinned Ben Jordan with the Moonsault Press in 0:03:53. Rating: * 1/4 [Kimona interfered against Ben Jordan.] The Great Muta sent Ben Jordan to the outside with a spinning heel kick, where Kimona then dropped him with a martial arts kick. The Pearl of the Orient followed up with a beautiful plancha and celebrated by spitting green mist into the air. Muta leapt to the top rope in one motion and connected with a flying dropkick. A backbreaker then set up the match-winning moonsault. The Great Muta is a phenomenal athlete! Skinner pinned PJ Walker with the Gatorbreaker in 0:06:09. Rating: 3/4* PJ Walker started at a fast pace, taking Skinner down with armdrags, a bodyslam and a dropkick. Skinner went to the outside, where Walker showed that he is not afraid to take a chance as he caught the Alligator Man with a dropkick off the apron! Skinner fought back with kicks and punches, but Walker leapfrogged a charge into the corner and took Skinner down with a springboard forearm! Walker went for a flying cross body, but Skinner avoided the move and drilled Walker with the Gatorbreaker for the three count. Despite the result, Bob Backlund entered the ring and applauded PJ Walker for his gutsy performance. Backlund helped Walker to his feet, but Skinner then spat a mouthful of tobacco juice into Backlund's face! Walker came to his mentor's aid, unloading with punches and then clotheslining the Alligator Man out of the ring! Backstage, Sean Mooney cautiously approached Bad News Brown, who was still seething about the outcome of his match with Tatanka earlier. Bad News said that he had finally realised why things aren't going his way in the World Wrestling Federation. Brown revealed it is because all the officials are prejudice against him, because he's black! Bad News claimed that the referee counted three for Tatanka tonight because of the colour of Tatanka's skin! Brown then shoved the shocked Mooney away from him and stormed off. Scott Steiner provided comments ahead of the Intercontinental Title steel cage match on next week's edition of Monday Night RAW. Steiner mocked the idea that Razor Ramon is delighted that the match will be held in a cage. Steiner said it was the biggest mistake of Ramon's life when he signed up for this cage match and promised to beat the Bad Guy within an inch of his life. Steiner closed by saying that when he defeats Ramon next week - for the third straight time - Razor will have no excuses left. Circuit information: Much like at the King of the Ring earlier in the year, Tatanka again benefitted from a dodgy call by an official. The Native American will now square off with WWF Champion Big Van Vader in two weeks on Monday Night RAW. We aren't going to dignify the remarks made by Bad News Brown tonight with any kind of rebuttal. Suffice to say the WWF is as equal opportunity as you can get. Make sure you tune in this weekend for WWF Superstars, where we will finally get to see the in-ring debut of Black Friday Management's newest acquisition, "The Hellraiser from Helsinki" Ludvig Borga. Also, Jeff Jarrett will hopefully offer us an explanation as to why he missed last week's edition of Monday Night RAW and in the feature bout, Davey Boy Smith battles Repo Man! Till then, so long everybody!

King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 04/28/11 at 21:06:08 WWF Superstars October 1st, 1994 Green Bay, WI Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Vince McMahon welcomed viewers to this week's edition of Superstars and announced that Davey Boy Smith will take on Repo Man in the main event, plus Ludvig Borga will make his debut! The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu) defeated Phil Apollo and Todd Mata when Sionne pinned Apollo after a powerslam in 0:03:46. Rating: * 1/2 Sionne is certainly proving to be a more than capable replacement for Fatu in the Headshrinkers team. He again looked very impressive tonight as he picked up the win with a vicious powerslam. The sound of the Finnish national anthem signalled the first appearance of the Hellraiser from Helsinki, Ludvig Borga. Gary Hart led his monstrous acquisition down to the ring. A split-screen showed Crush watching events backstage. Borga did not even wait for the introductions to finish as he went straight to work with clubbing blows and knees to the midsection of poor Barry Hardy. Ludvig Borga pinned Barry Hardy with the Rack and Ruin in 0:05:24. Rating: 1/4* During the bout, Vince McMahon put over Ludvig Borga's amateur boxing career, revealing that he was a former European light-heavyweight champion as a teenager with a record of 47 fights, 47 wins. Borga completely dominated Barry Hardy with a side suplex and a spinebuster, before throwing Hardy to the floor and clotheslining him. Borga used a delayed suplex and a powerslam on Hardy, before picking him up onto his shoulders like he weighed nothing and driving him down with a rack bomb for the pinfall. After the match, Ludvig Borga struck Barry Hardy with a kidney punch and then laid him out with a right hook. Gary Hart joined his man in the ring as Borga took the mic. The Hellraiser from Helsinki insulted the crowd and vowed to destroy their American so-called athletes! Backstage, Sean Mooney asked for Crush's thoughts after watching Ludvig Borga's debut. Crush gave Borga credit for taking the victory, but said that Borga had made a big mistake hooking up with Gary Hart and Black Friday Management. Crush closed by warning that next week the Arabian Butchers will go down to he and Owen Hart! Mantaur pinned Richie Rich with the Stampede in 0:04:00. Rating: -3/4* Gene Okerlund conducted an in-ring interview with "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, who was accompanied as ever by Tennessee Lee. Okerlund accused Jarrett of running scared of Man Mountain Rock, which is why he no-showed his scheduled tag team match two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW. Jarrett assured that wasn't the case and stated that if Rock were here tonight he wouldn't think twice about beating his brains in. With that bold statement, who else but Man Mountain Rock emerged from the back and the place became unglued! Jarrett began to backtrack as Tennessee Lee complained that Okerlund had set them up! As Man Mountain Rock marched down the aisle, The Roadie tried a sneak attack from behind, but Rock spun around and dropped the Road Dogg with a clothesline! Rock entered the ring, decked Tennessee Lee and cornered Jeff Jarrett while Gene Okerlund made himself scarce. Rock grabbed Jarrett around the throat but before any real damage could be done, Rock was distracted by Rockabilly appearing on the big screen! Rockabilly had gained possession of Rock's custom-made electric guitar! While Rock turned his attention to the screen, Jarrett struck with a chop block and applied the figure-four while The Roadie helped him apply extra leverage!! Officials and road agents hit the ring to drag Jarrett off, leaving Rock favouring his injured knee. The Birdman pinned Aaron Ferguson with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:07. Rating: 1/4* In what is set to be one of the most controversial interview segments the WWF has ever produced, Jerry Lawler announced that his guest in the King's Court this week on Monday Night RAW will be Bad News Brown! Davey Boy Smith was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Smith revealed that the only reason he decided to reform the British Bulldogs team earlier this year was because he felt sorry for Tom Billington. He said that he could see Billington's career was going nowhere and decided to help him achieve another shot at glory. Smith spoke of his regret of making that decision and felt that his career had gone backwards because of his association with Billington. Davey Boy vowed to make an impact and capture championship gold in the singles ranks once again, something that the bitter Billington will never achieve! Davey Boy Smith pinned Repo Man with the Running Powerslam in 0:08:33. Rating: ** 3/4 The show closed with Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler promoting the steel cage match for the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night RAW between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon. With the blue bars preventing anybody from getting involved, what will happen when it is truly one on one between these two superstars?? Circuit information: Make no mistake about it, Ludvig Borga made an impact tonight in his WWF debut. Borga overwhelmed his opponent with vicious strikes and power manoeuvres and afterwards made a point of calling out the American superstars in the dressing room. With Crush's current issue with Black Friday Management, could a match-up with the Hellraiser from Helsinki be on the cards? It's definitely an encounter that WWF fans around the world would love to see! Tito Santana has quit the promotion effective immediately. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Next week's edition of Monday Night RAW is unquestionably a must-see show! Taz and the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers will be in action, plus, fresh off his accusations of racism by the WWF, Bad News Brown will be the guest in the King's Court. And in the main event of the show, Razor Ramon challenges Scott Steiner for the Intercontinental Championship inside the confines of a steel cage!! Make sure you tune in this Monday night!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/04/11 at 20:46:37 Monday Night RAW October 3rd, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. An excited Vince McMahon welcomed viewers to the show as the camera panned around the ring which was ominously surrounded by the trademark bright blue steel cage of the WWF! McMahon announced that the opening contest will be the much anticipated rematch from SummerSlam for the Intercontinental Championship between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon. This time though, the bout will be contested inside a steel cage and the only ways to win are by pinfall or submission! Cage Match: Scott Steiner pinned Razor Ramon via pinfall in 0:16:52. Rating: * 1/2 (Scott Steiner retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] [Shawn Michaels interfered against Razor Ramon.] Scott Steiner went on the attack as soon as Razor Ramon entered the cage, but the tide soon turned and Ramon sent Steiner head-first into the steel repeatedly. The champion came back into it and focussed his assault on the Bad Guy's back. Ramon countered a Frankensteiner attempt by driving Steiner back-first into the cage wall. Both men were groggy, but Steiner decided to take a walk and started to climb the cage! Ramon followed Steiner to the top rope and brought him crashing down to the mat with a belly-to-back superplex! The Bad Guy signalled for the Razor's Edge, but Tammy Fytch reached in through the bars and grabbed his ankle! Ramon snatched Fytch by the hair and as she screamed and wailed, Steiner attacked from behind. As referee Mike Chioda checked on Fytch, the Intercontinental Champion tried to end it with the SSD but Ramon slid down and shoved Steiner into the ropes. Steiner came back with a cross body, but Ramon caught him and went for the fallaway slam into the cage! However, the official was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up absorbing the impact between the cage and Steiner's body! Undeterred, Ramon hit the Razor's Edge on the champion and went for the cover, but there was no referee to record the certain pinfall! The Bad Guy signalled to the back as senior official Earl Hebner came running out, followed by EMTs. Hebner unlocked the cage door and allowed the EMTs to enter the ring and attend to the injured Mike Chioda. Ramon was distracted as Hebner and the EMTs stretchered Chioda out of the cage. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels appeared out of nowhere and scrambled over the steel cage! The Heartbreak Kid measured up Ramon, who turned straight into a superkick from Michaels!! Michaels left the cage as quickly as he entered, just as Scott Steiner dragged himself over to Ramon's prone body and draped an arm over the Bad Guy's chest. Earl Hebner, who had now taken on the refereeing duties following the injury to Mike Chioda, saw the cover and counted to three. Steiner retains the Intercontinental Championship and the fans were enraged! Bad News Brown was the guest on this week's edition of the King's Court. Brown said that he shouldn't have been surprised at the controversial manner in which he lost to Tatanka last week, because this kind of thing happens to him all the time. Bad News accused WWF management of not wanting a man with the colour of skin he has to be WWF Champion. Brown said that when Bret Hart was injured and had to vacate the title, it should have been handed to him. When the company scheduled the WWF Championship tournament at the King of the Ring, Brown was hit with a suspension which prevented him from competing in it. And even when Brown did hold championship gold - the Hardcore Title - the company couldn't wait to take it off him and when he lost the title it was in an unscheduled bout that he had no chance to prepare for! Brown said that all of these points proved that the World Wrestling Federation is a racist company! Bad News Brown continued that when he enters the locker room, all he sees are white faces. All the referees are white, all the management are white, and as Bad News glared at Jerry Lawler, he added that all of the announcers are white as well. Brown then broached the subject of Martin Luther King Jr. Bad News noted that he wasn't one of Dr King's supporters as King was a man of passiveness and an advocate of non-aggression. Where did it get him? Brown asserted that only way a black man can get ahead in this world is by taking matters into his own hands. Bad News said that he was starting on a new crusade - to stick it to the man and send a message to whitey! The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated Matt Gardener and Kenny Hendrix when R. Rougeau pinned K. Hendrix with the Rougeau Bomb in 0:05:44. Rating: 1/4 Backstage, Razor Ramon was interrogating several staff members regarding the whereabouts of Shawn Michaels. Ramon threatened to tear apart the entire state until he found where that little rat was hiding! Tatanka was interviewed backstage by Gene Okerlund regarding his WWF Title Match with Big Van Vader next week. Tatanka discussed his loss to Vader in the semi-final of the WWF Championship tournament at the King of the Ring. The Native American said that on that night, he made one mistake and it cost him dearly. Tatanka vowed that there will be no mistakes next week and he will become the new WWF Champion! Scotty Flamingo pinned Miguel Rosado after the Hang Ten in 0:04:07. Rating: * The next contest featured "The One Man Crime Spree" Taz in singles action. Before the bout, Taz's manager Gary Hart joined Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan at the announcers' table. Taz pinned Duane Gill with the Tazplex in 0:02:23. Rating: ** 1/4 During the course of this bout, Vince McMahon put over Taz as a living breathing suplex machine. Gary Hart berated McMahon for using the term "suplex" and explained that what Taz does to human beings - when he locks his hands around their body and drives their stinking heads right through the mat - is not a suplex. Hart said that it cannot be compared to a normal wrestling manoeuvre, because it is far superior. It's a TAZplex! After the match, Taz took the mic and branded Duane Gill just another victim. Medical staff came out to tend to Gill, but Taz took exception to this and dumped Gill off the stretcher board! Matt Gardener and Kenny Hendrix - enhancement talent who had worked earlier - tried to come to Gill's aid but they took a release German suplex each from Taz for their trouble! The Big Boss Man then hit the ring, striking Taz in the gut and across the back with his nightstick! The Boss Man then assisted in helping Duane Gill from the ring, but Taz ambushed the former corrections officer from behind. Taz hooked Boss Man in a version of a sleeper, but it appeared that he was choking out the Boss Man! Taz brought Boss Man down to the mat in the hold and locked in a bodyscissors so the Boss Man could not escape! Soon the Boss Man had stopped coughing and spluttering and was now turning purple!! It took several officials and road agents to prise Taz off the Big Boss Man, but the damage was already done. The Big Boss Man was completely out cold, choked into unconsciousness by the One Man Crime Spree!! Circuit information: Taz has evolved into a very dangerous man since joining Gary Hart's Black Friday Management. Tonight, the Big Boss Man got caught in the path of rage and ended up getting the life choked out of him. Taz is on a roll at the moment and the Boss Man has his work cut out if he is to stop the One Man Crime Spree. A fifteen foot high steel cage couldn't prevent Shawn Michaels once again getting involved in an Intercontinental Title match between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon. Just like at SummerSlam, a superkick from the Heartbreak Kid cost the Bad Guy the match as Ramon was on the verge of victory. Needless to say, Ramon is furious at having the chance of recapturing the title cruelly snatched away from him and is desperate to make Michaels pay dearly for his actions. Razor Ramon took his aggression out on the wall of his dressing room after the show, causing significant damage. We are told that WWF officials will take action over this outburst, which will not help Ramon's current mood. WWF President Jack Tunney is yet to dignify the controversial accusations from Bad News Brown with a response. The Rougeaus have looked good since reforming their team and if they continue to perform like this, their aspirations of finally capturing the Tag Team Titles will not seem so implausible. Join us this weekend for WWF Superstars which will feature a huge tag team main event pitting the pairing of Crush and Owen Hart against the Arabian Butchers! Also on a packed show, Mr Perfect, Marty Jannetty, Adam Bomb, Tom Billington and the Supermodels will all be in action! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/17/11 at 21:15:30 WWF Superstars October 8th, 1994 Green Bay, WI Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. This weekend's edition of Superstars opened with comments from Black Friday Management's Gary Hart and the team of Crush and Owen Hart ahead of the latter's clash with the Arabian Butchers in the main event of the show. The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) defeated Steve King and Paul Vandale when Raphael pinned P. Vandale with the Full Nelson Slam in 0:04:57. Rating: Vince McMahon put over another convincing performance by the Supermodels and added that there is currently more depth in the WWF's tag team division than there has been in many years. That segued into McMahon hyping up next week's Tag Team Title rematch from SummerSlam between the Hollywood Blonds and the Thrillseekers. Marty Jannetty pinned Tony DeVito after a flying cross body press in 0:04:17. Rating: Mr. Perfect pinned Corey Student with the Perfect Plex in 0:06:36. Rating: * 1/2 Mr. Perfect was clearly still seething that Tatanka is getting the WWF Title shot this Monday night against Big Van Vader and not him. Perfect aggressively took all his frustration out on young Corey Student, slapping him around at the outset of this bout and then punishing him with extra stiff chops. Perfect took the opportunity to give Student a tongue-lashing in between moves. Perfect floored Student with a kneelift and then savagely went after Student's leg. The official admonished Perfect for drawing out the beating and vowed to throw the match out for Perfect using unnecessary force. Perfect soon put Student out of his misery with the Perfect Plex. After the match, Mr. Perfect took the mic and took a shot at Tatanka, saying that he didn't need to dress in feathers and paint his face to impress people. Perfect claimed that he is the perfect athlete and vowed to one day soon become the perfect WWF Champion. Adam Bomb pinned Jim Powers with the Atom Smasher in 0:05:07. Rating: 1/2* WWF Champion Big Van Vader and his manager Harley Race cut a promo ahead of the title bout with Tatanka this coming week on Monday Night RAW. They warned the Native American that bad things happen when you step in the ring with Vader and questioned whether Tatanka is ready to play the pain game! Tom Billington pinned Matt Hardy with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:04:33. Rating: 1/4 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Matt Hardy.] Tom Billington cut a promo after the match, in which he admitted that he had watched Davey Boy Smith's comments last week and laughed. Billington noted that without him, there would have been no tag team titles and no one would have heard of Davey Boy Smith. Crush and Owen Hart defeated The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) when Crush defeated Manuel by disqualification in 0:11:13. Rating: * 1/2 [Kimona interfered against Crush.] Crush and Owen Hart used their superior quickness to stay one step ahead of the Arabian Butchers, sending the twins to the outside with a dropkick and an enzuigiri. Manuel and Victor were soon able to isolate the Rocket from his partner when one of the twins caught Owen on a high cross body attempt and powerslammed him to the mat. The Rocket endured the onslaught from the Butchers but was able to roll out of dodge when the twins went for their splash/legdrop combination. Crush made the tag and cleaned house with a bodyslam on each Butcher. The twins tried to regroup at ringside, but as Owen went for a dive to the outside they avoided the blow and the Rocket landed hard. The Butchers then returned to the ring to double up on Crush. One of the twins held Crush in the corner for the other to deliver an avalanche, but at the last second Crush pulled the Butcher into harm's way and he ended up getting squashed by his brother! Crush dropkicked one of the twins out of the ring and drilled the other with a powerslam. With the crowd firmly behind him, Crush signalled for the Cranium Crunch. Suddenly, Kimona hit the ring and jumped on Crush's back, forcing the disqualification. Crush shrugged Kimona off and cornered her, set to make her pay for getting involved. Kimona struck Crush with several kicks to the body, which only served to anger the Original Hawaiian Punch even further. Ludvig Borga then strode down to the ring, which diverted Crush's attention and allowed Kimona to escape. Borga and Crush went nose-to-nose in the centre of the ring and the atmosphere inside the arena was electric! The ring promptly filled up with officials and road agents who got between the two men before the first blow could land! Circuit information: Our reporter caught up with Mr Perfect after the show tonight and Perfect promised to show up this Monday night to get a closer look at Tatanka's WWF Title Match with Big Van Vader. With the Native American preparing for the biggest bout of his career, the last thing he needs is to worry about the presence of his great rival. Ludvig Borga - who was involved in a tense staredown with Crush at the end of tonight's show - will be in action this coming week on Monday Night RAW. We have been reliably informed that the Hellraiser from Helsinki will have some choice comments for the Original Hawaiian Punch as well! It is shaping up to be a huge week in the World Wrestling Federation as we will be bringing you two massive title matches! Next week on Superstars, the Thrillseekers finally get another opportunity at the Tag Team Titles as they challenge the Hollywood Blonds for the gold. But before that, on Monday Night RAW Big Van Vader defends the WWF Championship against the number one contender, Tatanka! Make sure you do not miss any of it!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/22/11 at 15:08:04 Monday Night RAW October 10th, 1994 Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with Vince McMahon doing a professional hype job for the WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and Tatanka which would open the show. The atmosphere inside the arena was electric as Tatanka prepared to lock up with Big Van Vader. The official finished his instructions but before he could signal for the bell, the strains of "Perfection" were heard as Mr. Perfect emerged from the back! Perfect swaggered out, cockily chewing gum and smirking at Tatanka. Perfect made his way over to the announcers' desk, where he took the spare headset and joined Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan on commentary! If Mr. Perfect's plan was to get inside the head of the Native American, then it was working - perfectly. Big Van Vader pinned Tatanka with the Vader Bomb in 0:11:09. Rating: *** (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Mr. Perfect interfered against Tatanka.] Tatanka had some words for Mr. Perfect at the announcers' table before the bell. Big Van Vader tried to capitalise on the distraction, but Tatanka avoided a charge and hit a crossbody before going to work on the arm. Tatanka used a DDT, but Vader side stepped a flying cross body to take over. Vader splashed Tatanka in the corner and sat down on a flying sunset flip attempt, crushing the Native American. The Mastodon won a slugfest with a short lariat and grabbed a bearhug. With the crowd behind him, Tatanka escaped the hold and executed a powerslam for a near fall. Vader began to hammer Tatanka with fists, but the Native American no-sold a headsmash into the turnbuckle and started the war dance! Perfect began to grow concerned and stood up at the commentary table. However, Vader cut short Tatanka's rally with a spinning back fist, much to the Perfect One's delight. Big Van Vader attempted to finish the challenger off with a moonsault, but Tatanka moved out of the way! Tatanka found the mark with three flying Tomahawks, leaving the WWF Champion laid out on the canvas! Mr. Perfect jumped onto the apron, but Tatanka sent him flying with another chop! The distraction would prove critical though as Tatanka walked into a choke slam from the Mastodon and the Vader Bomb led to Vader retaining the title. Mr. Perfect quickly got over the embarrassment of being knocked to the floor when he realised that he had done enough to prevent Tatanka capturing the title. He laughed at Tatanka, who was still feeling the effects of the Vader Bomb, before making his exit. Ludvig Borga pinned Mark Thomas with the Rack and Ruin in 0:05:55. Rating: 1/4* [Kimona and Gary Hart interfered against Mark Thomas.] Ludvig Borga marched straight towards Mark Thomas and assaulted him without even waiting for the opening bell. Gary Hart appeared to be thoroughly enjoying watching Borga beat up his unfortunate opponent throughout this bout and Thomas ended up going to Rack and Ruin. The official helped Mark Thomas back to his feet following this match-up, but Ludvig Borga struck his opponent with a series of stiff body shots and then floored him with an uppercut! Gary Hart joined his charge in the ring and said that ever since Crush and Borga had that staredown last weekend on Superstars, everybody has been wanting to see them square off. However, Hart stated that the bout will not happen until Crush proves to Borga that he is a worthy opponent! Hart challenged Crush to face Borga in an arm wrestling contest! Borga doubted that Crush would accept the challenge as he is weak and spineless - just like all American athletes! Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Emilio Ulcia and Mike Sharpe when M. Moon pinned E. Ulcia after the Lift Off in 0:07:04. Rating: * 1/2 Backstage, Bob Backlund was preparing PJ Walker for his bout tonight. Walker interrupted his mentor and said that he had a really good idea for a finishing move. Backlund admonished Walker for getting carried away and told him to focus on picking up his first victory before worrying about a finisher. Backlund said he was confident that Walker could get his first win tonight. Damien DeMento pinned PJ Walker with the Schizophrenic in 0:06:02. Rating: ** 1/2 The teachings of Bob Backlund are now very much evident in PJ Walker's ring style as he used a huge atomic drop and a double underhook suplex. Damien DeMento stopped Walker in his tracks with a reverse neckbreaker, but Walker came back with a dropkick and a flying back elbow. PJ went for a flying cross body, but DeMento side stepped the move and hit a jumping kneedrop for the pinfall. Bob Backlund joined PJ Walker in the ring and offered his commiserations for the disheartening loss. They were interrupted by a glowing Scotty Flamingo, who was taking great pleasure in the duo's sorrow. Flamingo told Walker to expect to get beat in every match if he let himself be trained by a washed-up loser like Backlund! Flamingo advised Walker to ditch the has-been and let Flamingo be his new mentor, so one day Walker could become a huge superstar just like Flamingo! Backlund cut Flamingo's spiel short and told him to back up his words with some actions. Backlund challenged Flamingo to face Walker in a one-on-one match! Flamingo thought the idea was hilarious and claimed he would beat Walker easily, just like he defeated Backlund easily at WrestleMania! Circuit information: Mr Perfect and Tatanka have had a bitter rivalry that has lasted all summer. When Tatanka earned a shot at the WWF Championship, this did not sit well with Perfect who feels he is more deserving of a title opportunity. Perfect decided to show up tonight before Tatanka's match with Big Van Vader and the presence of Perfect at ringside certainly knocked Tatanka out of his stride. However, Tatanka refocussed and appeared to be on the verge of capturing the WWF Title after he had Vader reeling following three consecutive flying Tomahawks. Perfect then decided to interject himself into the match but after the Native American sent him packing, Tatanka then fell to a choke slam and the Vader Bomb. Tatanka is understandably furious at this evening's events, while Perfect is delighted that his rival failed to dethrone Vader. Following his bout tonight, Ludvig Borga issued a challenge to Crush for an arm wrestling match. Borga is apparently challenging Crush's manhood but this plan could backfire spectacularly as Crush is one of the strongest and most powerful men in the WWF. This arm wrestling match - should the challenge be accepted - is too close to call, as the Hellraiser from Helsinki could deadlift over 700 lbs as a teenager! Since Bob Backlund was installed as his mentor, PJ Walker has continued to improve with each and every match. However, he came up just a little short against Damien DeMento this evening and Scotty Flamingo found this hilarious. There is already bad blood between Backlund and Flamingo from earlier in the year and Backlund challenged Flamingo to put his money where his mouth is, inviting Flamingo to face his student PJ Walker. The cocky Flamingo gleefully accepted the challenge and it will take place in two weeks' time on Monday Night RAW! This weekend on Superstars, the WWF Tag Team Titles are on the line as the Hollywood Blonds defend against The Thrillseekers! Lance Storm and Chris Jericho couldn't have gone any closer to capturing the gold at SummerSlam - can they go one better this weekend? Also on Superstars, Bam Bam Bigelow, Rockabilly and Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz are all scheduled for action! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 05/23/11 at 21:51:17 WWF Superstars October 15th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Tonight's edition of Superstars began with a promo from The Thrillseekers. Lance Storm said they have been waiting for tonight's Tag Team Title opportunity since SummerSlam and were not about to blow it. Chris Jericho confidently predicted that history will be made tonight and new Tag Team Champions will be crowned! Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated Derek Domino and Mike Moraldo when Berzerker pinned D. Domino with the Piledriver in 0:06:12. Rating: * 3/4 Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Crush. The Original Hawaiian Punch accepted Ludvig Borga's arm wrestling match challenge which was issued last Monday. Crush vowed to draw upon the strength of every proud American to smash Borga's arm through the table and embarrass the Hellraiser from Helsinki! Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Tony DeVito with the Diving Headbutt in 0:03:31. Rating: 1/2* [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Tony DeVito.] Pre-taped comments from Bad News Brown were shown in which he lamented the fact that there are no black superheroes. Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz made Reno Riggins submit to the Seventh Inning Stretch in 0:05:16. Rating: * 3/4 Footage was shown from the closing moments of the Intercontinental Title steel cage match two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW, where Shawn Michaels' interference prevented Razor Ramon from regaining the gold from Scott Steiner. The Bad Guy then cut a promo in which he intensely described the hurting he is going to put on Shawn Michaels the next time he sees him. Rockabilly pinned Duane Gill with the Rockabilly Boogie in 0:04:46. Rating: * 3/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Duane Gill.] During the bout, Rockabilly and Tennessee Lee cut an insert promo in which they gloated over Tennessee Lee Promotions' contrived attack on Man Mountain Rock two weeks ago. A huge tag team match was announced for next week in which Fytch Wrestling Enterprises' Tom Billington and Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner will battle the duo of Davey Boy Smith and Razor Ramon. Billington then cut a promo in which he said he was relishing the prospect of tagging up with Steiner, describing him as the "best tag team partner he ever had" - an obvious insult to Davey Boy. The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) and The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) battled to a double pin in 0:14:25. Rating: *** 1/4 (The Hollywood Blonds retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.) The Thrillseekers were quick out of the blocks, striking the Hollywood Blonds with savate kicks and clotheslining them out of the ring! Lance Storm then followed up with a flying cross body off the top onto the champions at ringside! Chris Jericho scored with chops and backdrops while Storm kept the momentum going with spin kicks and inverted atomic drops. Steve Austin caught Jericho in the gut on a leapfrog attempt and the Blonds took over. Pillman grabbed a handful of trunks and sent Jericho to the outside, where Austin dropped the young Canadian throat-first on the guardrail! The Blonds ruthlessly attacked Jericho's throat and appeared to have the match won when Austin made a blind tag and hit the Stun Gun, but Jericho circumvented defeat when he placed his foot on the rope. Jericho managed to make the hot tag to Storm and the place came unglued. The match eventually broke down with all four men in the ring at the same time. Austin when for a suplex, but Jericho slipped out of it and hit a bridging German suplex. Referee Mike Chioda's hand slapped the mat three times and he called for the bell!! The fans erupted...until Mike Chioda raised the hand of Steve Austin! Both Austin and Chris Jericho were claiming that each other's shoulders were down, but Chioda looked to be awarding the bout to the Hollywood Blonds. Senior official Earl Hebner then came down to the ring and reversed the decision, declaring that the Thrillseekers are the winners! Chioda was insistent that the Blonds had won, while Hebner was sticking with the Thrillseekers. Replays appeared to show that both men's shoulders were down as Chioda counted three. The show went off the air with everybody in a state of confusion and a clear winner yet to be announced! Circuit information: The finish of tonight's show was shrouded in controversy as we failed to get a decisive winner in the Tag Team Title Match. Both The Hollywood Blonds and The Thrillseekers feel that they won the bout, but TV replays appeared to show that the match ended in a double pin. WWF President Jack Tunney will review the finish of the match-up and has promised to make a decision on Monday Night RAW. We have got a massive tag team match in store for you next week on Superstars as WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner teams up with his stablemate in Fytch Wrestling Enterprises, Tom Billington, to battle the pairing of Razor Ramon and Davey Boy Smith. This bout has many combustible elements, as Billington and Smith meet in an officially sanctioned match for the first time since their war at SummerSlam, plus Ramon gets the chance for revenge against the man who took his title, Scott Steiner. Mantaur has given notice. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Make sure you tune in this week for Monday Night RAW, where WWF Champion Big Van Vader and Harley Race will be the guests on the King's Court! Also, Marty Jannetty, the Great Muta, the Swiss Bobsleigh Team and Adam Bomb are all scheduled for action. Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/05/11 at 22:32:14 Monday Night RAW October 17th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The show opened with WWF President Jack Tunney seated in his office. The WWF Tag Team Title belts were displayed on his desk. Tunney said that he had reviewed the footage of last week's championship match between the Hollywood Blonds and the Thrillseekers and stated that there was no clear winner. As a result, Tunney declared that the WWF Tag Team Championship was being held up! Tunney then announced that at the Survivor Series on Thanksgiving Eve, November 23, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, the Hollywood Blonds and the Thrillseekers will meet again for the titles. However, this time the gold will be up for grabs - quite literally - in a Ladder Match! Tunney revealed that the only way to win this contest - a first for pay-per-view - is to climb the ladder and capture the titles which will be hanging from the ceiling! Great Muta pinned Virgil with the Moonsault Press in 0:08:16. Rating: 1/4 [Kimona interfered against Virgil.] Great Muta bled profusely from the nose in this match-up after Virgil caught him flush in the face with a dropkick. Virgil appeared to be on course to cause a shock upset but Kimona distracted the official, allowing Muta to spit mist in the eyes of Virgil. Muta then pinned Virgil following a moonsault. Footage was shown from two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW when Taz choked out the Big Boss Man. The Boss Man then cut a promo, proclaiming himself to be the meanest lawman in the world. He warned that Taz was now the number one man on his most wanted list and he vowed to make the One Man Crime Spree serve hard time. Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) when Lars pinned Butch after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:10:39. Rating: [Alundra interfered against Bushwhacker Luke.[/b]] Alundra attempted to get involved in this contest but she received a bite to the backside from Butch for her efforts! The distraction proved costly though as Lars levelled Butch in the back of the head with a bobsleigh helmet for the pinfall. Ludvig Borga was shown doing dumbbell hammer curls, building his biceps ahead of his arm wrestling contest with Crush next week. Borga vowed to embarrass Crush, thus proving that he is superior to all weak American athletes. Adam Bomb pinned Curtis Hairston after a flying lariat in 0:00:56. Rating: * Adam Bomb wasted little time putting away young Curtis Hairston tonight. The Creation of Devastation drilled his opponent with the Atom Smasher after the bout for good measure. Footage aired from last week's WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and Tatanka, in which interference from Mr. Perfect led to the Mastodon retaining the title. Tatanka then cut a promo, stating that Perfect will feel his sorrow and his hurt - but more than that, Mr. Perfect will feel his pain! Vince McMahon reminded viewers that Big Van Vader and Harley Race will be the guests on the King's Court in the final segment of tonight's show. Marty Jannetty pinned Mantaur after a superkick in 0:07:00. Rating: * 3/4 [Kim Chee interfered against Marty Jannetty.] Marty Jannetty was made to work hard for this win over Mantaur and even had to withstand interference from Kim Chee. The end was nigh for Mantaur when he missed the Stampede and hit the corner hard, leaving him wide open for a superkick from Jannetty. Bob Backlund cut a promo ahead of his protege PJ Walker's match-up with Scotty Flamingo next week. Backlund revealed that Walker has been training harder than ever since the bout was announced and added that Walker is determined to make the cocky Flamingo eat his words on next week's show. Jerry "The King" Lawler introduced WWF Champion Big Van Vader and Harley Race to an unfavourable response from the fans in attendance. Vader paced around the ring and worked the crowd as Harley Race addressed the audience. Race proclaimed Vader to be the most dominant champion in World Wrestling Federation history and if you doubt that statement, then just look at the evidence. He destroyed and buried the myth of The Undertaker. He beat up Randy Savage so bad that he hasn't been seen since. Even former champion Bret Hart is milking his knee injury for all its worth so he doesn't have to come back and face Vader! Race continued to put over Vader's incredible power and tremendous agility, despite weighing over 450 lbs. Race added that Vader is unquestionably the most feared big man not only in the WWF, but in the entire wrestling world! That last statement brought out none other than "The Beast from the East" Bam Bam Bigelow, who was ready to take exception! As Bigelow marched down the aisle, Harvey Wippleman scurried out after him and attempted to talk his charge out of a showdown with Big Van Vader. Bigelow refused to listen and shoved Wippleman to the ground, before getting in the ring! Bigelow snatched the microphone out of Harley Race's hands and got right in Vader's face! Bigelow said that Vader was yet to prove anything to him and challenged him to prove that he is the best big man in the company right now!! The crowd roared their approval for this confrontation! Suddenly, Vader rocked Bigelow with a headbutt and then followed up with a barrage of punches. Vader missed a splash in the corner and Bigelow then knocked the Mastodon down repeatedly with a succession of clotheslines! Bigelow sent Vader crashing out of the ring with a dropkick much to the joy of the crowd!! Vader attempted to climb back in, but each time Bigelow knocked him off the apron with a well-placed headbutt! Race managed to convince Big Van Vader that discretion is the better part of valour as Bam Bam Bigelow stood in the ring, triumphant! Circuit information: After clearing the ring of WWF Champion Big Van Vader tonight, Bam Bam Bigelow challenged the Mastodon to a title match. Bigelow is out to show that he is the best big man in the company and what better way to do that than dethroning Vader? Quite where this leaves Bigelow's relationship with Harvey Wippleman is unclear at this time, but the fans have certainly taken to the Beast from the East's show of guts and fortitude. The WWF Tag Team Titles have been held up, if you pardon the pun. Following last weekend's controversial finish to the title match between the Hollywood Blonds and the Thrillseekers, WWF President Jack Tunney has ordered that the championships be decided in a ladder match at the Survivor Series. Brian Pillman and Steve Austin are fuming at this turn of events and are expected to sound off on Superstars. Also this weekend on Superstars, our feature bout will see Davey Boy Smith and Razor Ramon join forces to battle "Dynamite" Tom Billington and WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner from Fytch Wrestling Enterprises! Tammy Fytch's other clients the Beverly Brothers are set for action too, with Jeff Jarrett, Duke Droese and Shawn Michaels also all scheduled to appear! That's right - the Heartbreak Kid and the Bad Guy will be in the same building for the first time since Michaels cost Ramon his Intercontinental Title steel cage rematch with Scott Steiner, so expect fireworks! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/12/11 at 14:12:56 WWF Superstars October 22nd, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. After the opening titles, Shawn Michaels made his way down to the ring, with Liz on his arm, to cut a promo on Razor Ramon. Michaels, who cost Ramon the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam by interfering in the Bad Guy's match with Scott Steiner and then got involved once again in the steel cage rematch, asked Ramon if he had learned his lesson yet. The Heartbreak Kid warned that if Ramon keeps sticking his nose where it isn't wanted, then Ramon must keep on dealing with the consequences! The crowd exploded as Razor Ramon, who had clearly heard enough of Shawn Michaels' diatribe, ran out from the back! Michaels bailed out of the ring with Ramon hot on his heels! The Bad Guy chased Michaels around the ring a couple of times, before the Heartbreak Kid tripped up, leaving himself at Ramon's mercy! Michaels was desperately begging off and the fans were firmly behind Ramon, willing him to beat the living daylights out of Michaels! Before Razor had the chance to inflict any damage, he was attacked by Scott Steiner and Tom Billington of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises! The crowd voiced their disapproval as Steiner and Billington tossed Ramon into the ring and put the boots to him, allowing Michaels to slink off to the back unscathed. Davey Boy Smith then hit the ring to even the odds with a referee in tow. Smith demanded that the referee call for the bell and start the bout so he could get his hands on Billington legally without any repercussions from management! This evening's feature match-up was off to an impromptu start! Fytch Wrestling Enterprises (Tom Billington and Scott Steiner) defeated Davey Boy Smith and Razor Ramon when Billington pinned Davey Boy with the Dynamite Diving Headbutt in 0:19:48. Rating: **** [Tammy Fytch interfered against Davey Boy Smith.] The Fytch Wrestling Enterprises duo used some shady tactics to isolate Davey Boy Smith from Razor Ramon, while at the same time keeping the Bad Guy at bay. Ramon grew more and more agitated on the apron until finally he could not stand any more and cleaned house, decking Steiner and Billington with hard rights. The Bad Guy laid out Steiner with a bulldog and Billington with a fallaway slam, before signalling for the finish. Shawn Michaels then wandered back out to ringside, taunting Ramon! Razor snapped and took off after Michaels, who retreated quickly to the backstage area. Davey Boy Smith was therefore left all alone against two men and, after a brave effort, the odds ultimately proved too much for him. Steiner dropped Smith with a double underhook power bomb and Davey Boy was then easy prey for Billington's perfectly executed diving headbutt. To add insult to injury, Billington then pinned his former tag team partner with one foot on his chest to the disgust of the fans in attendance. Duke Droese pinned JW Storm with the Trash Compactor in 0:05:19. Rating: 1/2* In an insert promo during the match, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese once again invited challengers for his Hardcore Title. Footage aired from this past week on Monday Night RAW, when Bam Bam Bigelow cleared the ring of WWF Champion Big Van Vader and challenged him to a title match. Vince McMahon announced that the Beast from the East will appear on Friar Ferguson's Sermon this coming week on RAW. Jeff Jarrett pinned Matt Hardy with the Encore in 0:04:49. Rating: ** During the bout, Man Mountain Rock cut an insert promo. Rock addressed Jeff Jarrett and his cronies, claiming that he hadn't forgotten about their attack on him and promised to make his return from injury very soon! Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Jack Tunney's decision to hold up the WWF Tag Team Titles and have them contested in the company's first ever Ladder Match between The Hollywood Blonds and The Thrillseekers at the Survivor Series. Sean Mooney then interviewed the Blonds, who were furious. Steve Austin said that the Thrillseekers hadn't beaten them last week so he and Brian Pillman should still have the gold. Pillman claimed that a Ladder Match however will suit them just fine. Pillman stated that he and Austin have been climbing the ladder of success their whole lives, and when they climb the ladder at Survivor Series they'll take their titles back! The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated Corey Student and Mike Sharpe when Blake pinned C. Student after a diving headbutt in 0:02:54. Rating: * 1/2 It had been a successful night for Fytch Wrestling Enterprises and a beaming Tammy Fytch took the mic after this bout. Fytch claimed that instead of having a Ladder Match for the Tag Team Titles at Survivor Series, Jack Tunney should just go ahead and hand the belts over to the Beverly Brothers, because Beau and Blake will have the gold around their waists sooner or later. Fytch added that if The Hollywood Blonds or The Thrillseekers ever stepped in the ring with the Beverlys, there would be no controversial finish as the winners would be clear for everyone to see! Backstage, Razor Ramon was on the hunt for Shawn Michaels when he bumped into Davey Boy Smith. Smith confronted Ramon and accused him of leaving him high and dry. Smith was right in Ramon's face and ended up pushing him too far as the Bad Guy tackled him into the wall! The two men traded punches on the ground and ended up having to be separated by officials and road agents as the show drew to a close! Circuit information: Shawn Michaels has succeeded in getting under Razor Ramon's skin to the point that the Bad Guy is going crazy. Tonight, Ramon was so wound up that he lashed out at Davey Boy Smith after Smith had pulled him up over Ramon deserting him in their tag team match. Michaels showed up during the bout and Ramon lost it, forgetting where he was momentarily and chasing The Heartbreak Kid to the back. Michaels cannot run forever. The tag team match had been outstanding up to that point. However, with the odds stacked against him, Davey Boy Smith soon fell to the duo of his great rival Tom Billington and Scott Steiner. Billington rubbed salt into the wounds by opting to pin Smith with one foot. Smith was enraged after the show, not just with Razor Ramon but at the humiliation he felt following his loss to Billington. We're bringing you a packed show this week on Monday Night RAW, where Crush will challenge Ludvig Borga in an arm wrestling match! Plus, Scotty Flamingo takes on Bob Backlund's protege PJ Walker in a singles contest! Also scheduled to join us are Mr. Perfect, The Birdman and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers! Till then, so long everybody!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 06/20/11 at 20:27:34 Monday Night RAW October 24th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Macho Man Randy Savage. The arena erupted with joy as Macho Man Randy Savage made his return to the commentary table at the beginning of the show! Savage had been sidelined for four months with internal injuries following two brutal matches with WWF Champion Big Van Vader this past summer and the fans were delighted to see him again. Vince McMahon gave Savage a hearty handshake to welcome him back, while the Bobby Heenan - who was less than thrilled to be sharing announcing duties with Savage again - weaselled out of shaking the Macho Man's hand. PJ Walker pinned Scotty Flamingo after a crucifix in 0:09:07. Rating: ** 1/4 It was obvious that Scotty Flamingo was treating PJ Walker as a joke as he slapped around the youngster to start. Backlund advised Walker to keep his cool and PJ shocked Flamingo with a series of armdrags and a dropkick! Flamingo began to get serious and dominated Walker with a dropkick, a belly-to-back suplex and a fistdrop. Walker avoided the Hang Ten flying knee and took over with a dropkick, a flying clothesline and a flying bulldog. Walker went up top and connected with a flying cross body, but Flamingo kicked out at the very last second! Walker went for another, but Flamingo countered with a dropkick. Flamingo then covered Walker in the cockiest manner possible, leaning back on the youngster and crossing his legs! However, Walker then hooked up the unsuspecting Flamingo in a crucifix and held him down for the three count!!! PJ Walker celebrated with Bob Backlund and then with the fans at ringside as Scotty Flamingo blew a gasket! Backlund then looked at Flamingo and grinned. Macho Man Randy Savage congratulated Walker with a hug as Flamingo scuttled off to the back, attempting to shield his face from the cameras! The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated George South and Tyrone Knox when J. Rougeau pinned G. South after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:05:29. Rating: * Gene Okerlund hosted the first Survivor Series report, in which he revealed that Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels will captain two teams to do battle in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match. Okerlund added that WWF President Jack Tunney was allowing Ramon and Michaels to recruit their own teammates for the match. This was followed by comments from Razor Ramon, who was satisfied with the announcement as it meant that Shawn Michaels couldn't run anymore and at some point during their bout, he would get his hands on the Heartbreak Kid! Shawn Michaels then cut a promo, in he had revealed that he was wasting no time and had already made the perfect pick! Michaels brought in Mr Perfect, who added that with him on the side, there could be no doubt that this is the Perfect team! The Birdman pinned Jim Powers with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:48. Rating: 1/4 Bam Bam Bigelow was Friar Ferguson's guest on this week's edition of the Sermon. Bigelow said that the comments from Harley Race last week struck a nerve with him. Bigelow claimed he was sick of hearing of how mean, how strong and how agile Big Van Vader is, when the Beast from the East is more mean, more strong and more agile. Bigelow panned his manager Harvey Wippleman for failing to secure a single title shot for him in the past six months, which is why the Beast from the East decided to take matters into his own hands last week. Harvey Wippleman then made his way out to respond. Wippleman claimed that he was waiting until the time was right to unleash Bigelow and warned that Bam Bam doesn't realise what he is getting himself into by getting in Vader's face. Bigelow disagreed and said that he would never realise his full potential if he continued to hang around with Wippleman. The Beast from the East proceeded to fire Wippleman as his manager to the delight of the crowd! Harvey Wippleman left the ring, shaking his head in disgust. A fired up Bam Bam Bigelow promised that his future is going to burn bigger and burn brighter than it has ever burned before. Bam Bam added that next week, Big Van Vader will feel the burn and Bigelow will walk out the new WWF Champion! Mr. Perfect pinned Austin Steele with the Perfect Plex in 0:05:48. Rating: 1/4 After the match, Tatanka emerged from the back and began to march towards the ring. However, a swarm of officials and road agents followed him out and blocked his path, preventing him from getting near Mr. Perfect. Perfect taunted Tatanka, knowing full well that the Native American could not get near him. Razor Ramon then appeared and attempted to calm Tatanka down. Ramon whispered something to Tatanka while pointing at Perfect. Perfect's expression turned to one of concern as Tatanka nodded at Ramon and shook the Bad Guy's hand. It certainly appears that Ramon has found his first teammate at Survivor Series, which means that Tatanka and Mr. Perfect will be on opposite sides this Thanksgiving Eve! As the show went to commercial, Vince McMahon excitedly announced that Gene Okerlund will be standing by with the Arm Wrestling Match next! Crush made his way down to the ring to a tremendous ovation while the entire Black Friday Management stable waited patiently in the squared circle. Crush eyed up Ludvig Borga as he entered the ring cautiously. Crush took the mic from Gene Okerlund and challenged Borga to make this man against man. Gary Hart quickly conferred with Borga and then instructed the rest of Black Friday Management to stand outside the ring. The fans were firmly in Crush's corner as the two men prepared to lock hands. There was barely any movement in the early going as each man strained for the advantage. Borga began to take control though and almost had Crush's arm at a 90 degree angle! The Original Hawaiian Punch fed off the energy from the crowd though and fought back up! Randy Savage rallied the fans behind Crush as the big Hawaiian forced Borga's arm back up! Crush was coming out on top in this epic struggle and was inches away from slamming Borga's arm down on the table when the Great Muta hit the ring and spewed a mouthful of green mist into Crush's face! Arm Wrestling Match: Crush defeated Ludvig Borga by disqualification in an Arm Wrestling Match. Time of Match: 2 Minutes and 25 Seconds. Blinded and defenceless, Crush hit the canvas following a vicious punch from Ludvig Borga. The Hellraiser from Helsinki then lifted up the arm wrestling table and dropped it across Crush's back! Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and the Big Boss Man ran out from the back to make the save, but they were cut off at ringside by Taz and the Arabian Butchers!! Borga picked Crush up onto his shoulders and began stretching him in the torture rack! With officials and agents unable to access the ring, Crush was totally helpless. Vince McMahon feared for the long term damage to Crush's back while Randy Savage grew ever more agitated at the commentary table. Borga revelled in the jeers of the fans as he paraded around the ring with Crush on his shoulders! Suddenly, Savage flung down his headset and climbed to the top turnbuckle! The Macho Man connected with a flying axhandle to Borga's head, breaking the torture rack and freeing Crush! Savage ducked a kick from Muta and connected with a succession of jabs, before clotheslining the Pearl of the Orient from the ring! As Borga tried to shake off the effects of the top rope axhandle, Savage struck with a high knee to the back which sent Borga through the ropes! The referees and suits tried desperately to restore order at ringside, while Savage helped Crush back to his feet. Crush was absolutely seething at Ludvig Borga and Black Friday Management as the show went off-air! Circuit information: The Crush-Ludvig Borga arm wrestling contest was a tense affair which went back and forth several times. However, just when it appeared that Crush would slam Borga's arm down on the table, the Great Muta jumped in and blinded Crush with the green mist. That triggered an attack from Borga on the defenceless Hawaiian while the rest of Black Friday Management prevented anybody from coming to Crush's aid. Thankfully, Macho Man Randy Savage - who had returned to announcing duties following a long absence through injury - could not take any more and hit the ring, flooring the Hellraiser from Helsinki with a huge axhandle. The war between Crush and Black Friday Management has been cranked up a notch now that the big Hawaiian has found himself a group of willing allies. The weeks of training under the tutelage of former WWF Champion Bob Backlund finally paid off for PJ Walker tonight as the young New Yorker scored his very first victory! Walker punished Scotty Flamingo for his conceitedness as he hooked Flamingo in a crucifix for the pin after Flamingo attempted an arrogant cover. The win was particularly sweet for Backlund, not just because his protege came out on top, but he gained a measure of revenge for his own defeat to Flamingo at WrestleMania X. Flamingo is thoroughly humiliated by this turn of events and has vowed not to take it lying down. Make sure you tune in this weekend for Superstars where the Lightning Kid, Tom Billington, Owen Hart and The Berzerker are all scheduled to join us! Plus, we'll bring you more build up to the massive WWF Championship Match next week on Monday Night RAW between Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow! Till then, so long everybody!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/03/11 at 11:31:52 WWF Superstars October 29th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with comments from Repo Man and the Lightning Kid ahead of their clash in the main event of the show. Tom Billington pinned Barry Hardy with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:04:45. Rating: 1/2 After putting away Barry Hardy without barely breaking a sweat, Tom Billington took the mic afterwards and bragged about pinning his former tag team partner Davey Boy Smith last week. Billington said that he had defeated Smith twice now and claimed that there was no longer any doubt about who the strongest member of the British Bulldogs team was. Davey Boy Smith had heard enough and came out to angrily confront Billington. Smith said he had thought a lot about Jack Tunney's warning. The WWF President has threatened to indefinitely suspend both of them in the event of any physical contact outside of an officially sanctioned match. Smith believed it was clear that this company isn't big enough for the both of them, so he suggested a career vs career match at Survivor Series! The crowd voiced their approval for such a high stakes match, as Smith added that at Survivor Series, whoever survives their match stays in the company! Tammy Fytch attempted to jump in and talk to Tom Billington before her charge made any rash decisions, but Billington wanted to clarify the terms of the bout. Billington asked Davey Boy Smith to confirm that all he has to do is beat Smith one more time and he'll never have to deal with him again. Smith reiterated the stipulation but added that Billington will never defeat him again. Billington accepted the challenge, much to Tammy Fytch's displeasure. Billington told Smith to prepare the speech for his leaving ceremony as Davey Boy left the ring, satisfied that he had got his match with Billington at Survivor Series. However, Fytch was extremely upset at what is at stake and she and Billington argued as the show went to commercial. Owen Hart pinned Ray Hudson with the Rocket Launcher in 0:04:00. Rating: 3/4 During the bout, Owen Hart cut an insert promo in which he talked about the events of this past Monday night where he, Randy Savage, Big Boss Man and Marty Jannetty came to the aid of Crush when the big Hawaiian was being brutalised by Black Friday Management. The Rocket said that Gary Hart's stable couldn't rely on the numbers game any more and pondered how they would cope in a fair fight. Jerry "The King" Lawler announced that following the shocking events after the arm wrestling contest last week on Monday Night RAW, he will interview Crush and Macho Man Randy Savage this coming week on the King's Court. Backstage, Tom Billington and Tammy Fytch were embroiled in a huge blowup. Fytch was screaming at Billington for not discussing the stipulations with her first before agreeing to put his career up against Davey Boy Smith at Survivor Series. Billington accused Fytch of having no faith in him. He vowed to get the job done at Survivor Series, with or without her by his side! Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz made Chris Kanyon submit to the Seventh Inning Stretch in 0:06:00. Rating: Shawn Michaels was standing by with WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner. The Heartbreak Kid bragged that as usual, he is one step ahead of Razor Ramon. Michaels announced that Scott Steiner is the newest member of his Survivor Series team because just like HBK, Steiner knows how to beat the Bad Guy. There was some apparent tension between Liz and an already stirred-up Tammy Fytch during the course of this segment. The Berzerker pinned Dwight Polk after a kick to the head in 0:03:00. Rating: 1/4 Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler previewed the WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow this coming week on Monday Night RAW. McMahon acknowledged that there are not many men walking the face of the earth that can go toe to toe with Vader, but felt that the Beast from the East might be one of them! Lightning Kid pinned Repo Man with the Lightning Bolt in 0:11:12. Rating: ** 3/4 After the match, Razor Ramon made his way down to the ring and applauded the Lightning Kid's efforts. Ramon took the mic and described how impressed he is with the Kid. The Bad Guy added that the air of unpredictability which the Lightning Kid brings is just what he needs at the Survivor Series. Ramon offered a spot on his team to the Kid, who gratefully accepted. Ramon and the Kid shook hands on the deal as the Bad Guy's team starts to take shape! Circuit information: Following tonight's show, Shawn Michaels and Scott Steiner were caught laughing at Razor Ramon's latest pick for his Survivor Series team. Michaels and Steiner obviously do not view the Lightning Kid as any kind of threat, but they should know better than to underestimate this young superstar. The Kid joins Tatanka on the Bad Guy's team, while The Heartbreak Kid's side currently consists of Mr. Perfect and WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner. The stakes couldn't be higher at Survivor Series as Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington will face off in a match where the loser must leave the WWF! Tammy Fytch is certainly not happy about Billington accepting such a match without her blessing and appears to be concerned that she could lose her meal ticket. Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow will square off for the WWF Championship this week on Monday Night RAW. There seems to be the general feeling that the newly-focused Bigelow could be the very man that is able to dethrone the Mastodon and capture the title. The Beast from the East can certainly match Vader for size and agility, but he'll have to be aware of the threat from Harley Race at ringside. Make sure you tune in this Monday night!!
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/08/11 at 22:12:08 WWF @ New York City, NY October 29th, 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY Owen Hart pinned Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz after a flying dropkick in 0:06:15. Rating: 3/4 Ludvig Borga pinned Bob Holly with the Rack and Ruin in 0:05:49. Rating: * [Gary Hart interfered against Bob Holly.] Big Boss Man defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification in 0:13:08. Rating: * 1/4 [The Roadie interfered against Big Boss Man.] Big Boss Man was heading for victory after he connected with a huge spinebuster, but The Roadie broke the pin and Double J was disqualified. Jarrett and the Roadie then attempted to drill Boss Man with a guitar shot, but Boss Man grabbed his nightstick from the corner and the Tennessee Lee Promotions contingent fled. Shawn Michaels pinned Lightning Kid with the Piledriver in 0:15:21. Rating: [Liz interfered against Lightning Kid.] Shawn Michaels came out on top in this gripping encounter with the Lightning Kid. After the match, Michaels antagonised Razor Ramon by signalling for the Razor's Edge on the Kid. This brought the Bad Guy out from the back to a tremendous ovation! The Heartbreak Kid quickly begged off but before Ramon could get his hands on Michaels, he was attacked from behind by WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner! Steiner and Michaels put the boots to Ramon, before officials and road agents intervened and forced the Heartbreak Kid to the back. Tammy Fytch then grabbed the house microphone and demanded that the scheduled Intercontinental Title Match between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon start right now! The referee consulted with Ramon, who had been left battered and bruised, and advised that the bout be delayed until later in the evening. The Bad Guy defiantly instructed that the official call for the bell to begin the match, much to the delight of the crowd! Razor Ramon defeated Scott Steiner by disqualification in 0:14:17. Rating: * (Scott Steiner retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.] Despite the pre-match beatdown, Razor Ramon brought the fight to Scott Steiner and appeared to be en route to recapture his title when he blocked a hiptoss and connected with a choke slam. With the fans in a frenzy, Ramon signalled for the Razor's Edge but unbeknownst to The Bad Guy, Tammy Fytch had slipped the Intercontinental Title belt to Steiner. Ramon tried to drag Steiner up off the canvas, but Steiner struck Ramon with the belt for the cheap DQ! The crowd voiced their disapproval for the unsatisfying finish. Scott Steiner didn't care though and went to plant Razor Ramon with the SDD. However, Ramon escaped the hold, kicked Steiner in the gut and left him laying with the Razor's Edge! Ramon lifted up the Intercontinental Title but then dumped it on Steiner's body before glaring at Tammy Fytch and exiting the ring. Great Muta pinned Marty Jannetty with the Moonsault Press in 0:08:04. Rating: * 1/2 (Adam Bomb no-showed.) Big Van Vader pinned Crush with the Vader Bomb in 0:16:05. Rating: * 1/4 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race and Ludvig Borga interfered against Crush.] The tide turned in this WWF Championship Match when Big Van Vader missed a moonsault and Crush took over with a dropkick and bodyslam, before laying out the champion with the Kona Crash. Crush went for the cover, but the official was tied up with Harley Race. As Crush went to investigate, Ludvig Borga appeared and attacked the challenger with vicious kidney punches! Borga quickly rolled out of the ring and Race allowed the referee to get back to the action. Vader then hit a splash followed by the Vader Bomb for the three count. The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) and Tatanka defeated The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) and Mr. Perfect when Jericho pinned S. Austin after the Sudden Impact in 0:33:04. Rating: ** This was a fantastic main event to the show and the almost 10,000 strong crowd certainly did not leave Madison Square Garden disappointed. All six men put in a tremendous effort in this fast-paced, innovative and exciting contest. The trio of the Thrillseekers and Tatanka emerged victorious when Chris Jericho and Lance Storm connected with the Sudden Impact on Steve Austin. Card rating: * 1/2
King_Of_Old_School	Posted on 07/25/11 at 22:43:20 Monday Night RAW October 31st, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Comments from champion and challenger opened the show ahead of Big Van Vader defending his WWF Championship against Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event of the show. A tale of the tape graphic comparing Vader and Bigelow appeared on the screen from which Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan surmised that there is not a lot to choose between the two monsters. Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Butler Stevens and Tom Stone when B. Holly pinned B. Stevens with the Fender Bender in 0:05:47. Rating: * 3/4 Scotty Flamingo cut a promo in which he said he had never been embarrassed so much in his life as he was last week by Bob Backlund and PJ Walker. Flamingo said he would have his revenge on both and challenged the duo to a tag team match next week against himself and his new best friend, Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz! Damien DeMento pinned Scott Avery with the Schizophrenic in 0:05:40. Rating: * Gene Okerlund presented an edition of the Survivor Series report, which featured footage from the aftermath of last week's Arm Wrestling Contest between Crush and Ludvig Borga. Okerlund announced that following the events of last week, a special ten man elimination match has been signed for the pay-per-view which will see the Black Friday Management contingent of Ludvig Borga, Great Muta, Taz and the Arabian Butchers take on the team of Crush, Macho Man Randy Savage, Big Boss Man, Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty! Jerry Lawler's guests on this week's edition of the King's Court were scheduled to be Crush and Randy Savage, but instead Crush's entire Survivor Series team appeared which made Lawler nervous. Crush said that Gary Hart's Black Friday Management are a bunch of cowards who are only tough when they are in a gang and last week's attack proved that. Crush added that at Survivor Series, they won't have the numbers advantage any more because he has four friends backing him up and together they have strength in numbers. Randy Savage took the mic and christened their group "S.I.N.", the acronym for Strength In Numbers. Savage warned that the sins perpetrated by Black Friday Management shall not be forgotten and at Survivor Series, this S.I.N. will destroy the sinners! Rockabilly pinned Ben Jordan with the Rockabilly Boogie in 0:05:58. Rating: 3/4* [Tennessee Lee interfered against Ben Jordan.] During the bout, Man Mountain Rock called in to the show and announced that he would be back next week. Rock said that this meant bad news for Jeff Jarrett, Rockabilly, The Roadie and anybody else associated with Tennessee Lee Promotions! Big Van Vader pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a splash in 0:15:24. Rating: *** 3/4 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race and Adam Bomb interfered against Bam Bam Bigelow.] Both of these behemoths charged at each other to begin the contest, with neither man gaining any real advantage. Bam Bam Bigelow hit Big Van Vader with a hiptoss and the champion rolled to the outside to regroup. The Mastodon was visibly frustrated, lifting the timekeeper's table up and smashing it to the floor! Back in the ring, Bigelow and Vader went back and forth in a test of strength until Vader cut Bigelow off with a kneelift. Vader dominated the Beast from the East with a short clothesline, a belly-to-back suplex and an avalanche which earned a near fall. The WWF Champion then clotheslined Bigelow over the top rope as the show went to commercial. Big Van Vader took down Bam Bam Bigelow with a flying lariat and then the fight then spilled to the outside. Vader missed a charge and struck the guardrail hard, appearing to injure his shoulder in the process. Bigelow worked over Vader's shoulder with a series of headbutts. Fearing that his man was in danger, Harley Race attempted to get involved but Bigelow met him with a stiff headbutt which sent Race crashing to the floor! The fans were firmly behind Bigelow as the Beast from the East floored Vader with a flying shoulder tackle which connected directly with the champion's injured shoulder! Bam Bam signalled for the finish and climbed to the top rope for the diving headbutt, when suddenly Adam Bomb appeared out of nowhere and shoved Bigelow off! Bigelow struck the canvas awkwardly and Vader quickly seized the opportunity, splashing Bigelow for the pinfall! Bam Bam Bigelow certainly appeared to be heading for the WWF Championship until Adam Bomb got involved and Bigelow left the ring to go in search of the Creation of Devastation, while still in a state of confusion following the closing stages of the bout. A crazed Harley Race took the mic and yelled that there is nobody left to challenge Big Van Vader! Race proclaimed that nobody would ever take the WWF Championship off Vader and that the Mastodon would reign over the company until the end of time! Suddenly, a single gong sounded and the arena plunged into darkness! The fans were in raptures as The Undertaker's music began to play. A spotlight lit up the entrance way where Paul Bearer emerged. Bearer was pushing a giant casket down the aisle. Big Van Vader and Harley Race looked at each other in disbelief, unsure what to make of the events that were unfolding. Bearer arrived at ringside and pointed a finger at Vader, warning the WWF Champion. Race told Vader to go after Bearer and the casket. Vader left the ring and went to open the casket, but suddenly the lid burst open and a familiar figure sat up!! It was the return of the Undertaker, who was wearing a ghoulish Phantom of the Opera style mask over his face!! Vader reared back at the ghastly sight in front of him and backed off, almost tripping over himself! The Undertaker stared a hole through Vader, who looked like he had seen a ghost! Vader slowly retreated in a state of utter shock, while the camera got a good shot of The Undertaker's eerie visage!! Circuit information: What an astonishing night it was tonight on Monday Night RAW! The Undertaker chose this evening - on Hallowe'en, no less - to make his return, popping out of a casket to confront Big Van Vader at the end of the show! It was Vader who sidelined the Undertaker over two months ago when he took a steel wrench to the Phenom's face, the effects of which were there for all to see tonight. 'Taker suffered a broken orbital bone and a broken nose in the sickening assault from Vader and he appeared tonight wearing a hideous grey mask. Vader looked like he was staring death itself in the face when he caught a glimpse of The Undertaker's new look. Have we finally seen fear in the eyes of Big Van Vader?? Bam Bam Bigelow was one diving headbutt away from capturing the WWF Title, but Adam Bomb showed up to shatter Bigelow's dreams of championship glory. Bigelow and Bomb were teammates in Harvey Wippleman's stable, but after Bigelow dared to challenge Vader to a title match he and Wippleman had a very public break-up. While it is only conjecture at this stage, we must assume that Wippleman was behind Bomb's interference tonight. Another match has been made official for Survivor Series as Black Friday Management will collide with Crush and Randy Savage's Strength In Numbers group. We'll get a preview of that battle this weekend on Superstars as Big Boss Man goes one-on-one with Manuel from the Arabian Butchers! Also on the show, Skinner, the Swiss Bobsleigh Team and "Dynamite" Tom Billington are all scheduled for action, plus we'll bring you an interview with the disgruntled former WWF Tag Team Champions, The Hollywood Blonds! Till then, so long everybody!
