Interview
Ken Shamrock was interviewed and he issued a challenge.
JR = Jim Ross
KS = Ken Shamrock
[ Jim Ross is standing in the ring with Ken Shamrock whose right arm in in a
cast. ]
JR: Ken Shamrock... first of all let me say that all of us are very sorry for
the host of injuries you have received courtesy of the Brawl For All
matches you've been in against the Undertaker.
KS: Hey - that's what fighting is all about. If you fight, you an sustain an
injury. It's only natural. What really ticks me off, though, is that the
Undertaker capitalized on my elbow injury to score a tainted win over me
and regain the Brawl For All title.
JR: Be that as it may be... the Undertaker did regain the title, and even if he
hadn't, you likely would have had to vacate it anyway due to your injury.
KS: This is a matter of principle. Undertaker... if you're listening, get your
dead ass out here. I'm here with my arm in a cast and I challenge you to
a rematch for the title. If I lose, I'll leave the WWF forever. However,
that isn't going to happen.
JR: Ladies and gentlemen... I've just been told that the Undertaker who was
about to leave the arena in a few minutes has accepted Ken Shamrock's
challenge and will emerge to the ring as soon as he gets out of his street
clothes.

Interview
The Horsemen revealed their partner for WarGames.
RF = Ric Flair
[ After the Horsemen are introduced for their WarGames match, Ric Flair seizes
the microphone. ]
RF: It feels soooo gooood to be back in Horsemen country one final time. The
Horsemen were born in Charlotte and the Horsemen deserve to win their final
war in Charlotte. All that remains for me to do now is thank you fans for
all the support you've given us over the many years we've been in this
sport... and to thank the men who made the Horsemen what they are. The
Enforcer, Double A, Arn Anderson... you are the Horsemen. Dean Malenko...
thank you for coming back into the fold... your technical excellence is what
we need tonight when we take on the best the WWF has to offer. And yes...
thank you, Chris Benoit. Thank you for turning us down. You may not realize
it but your actions got us thinking and we realized that you never were
enough of a Horseman to ride with us tonight. There is only one other person
who deserves that honor. He has held numerous titles with us over the years.
He's held singles titles. He's held tag titles. He's been the brain behind
the brawn... the technical mastermind... may I give you... TULLY BLANCHARD !
[ Tully Blanchard comes out to the Horsemen's theme and to a deafening ovation
in Charlotte. ]
TB: Charlotte, North Carolina... Ric Flair... Arn Anderson... I'm home. Nobody
can beat us tonight - we're the Horsemen, and we stand united.

Match Observations:
What really can matter about this year's Survivor Series other than the main
event ?
In front of a hometown crowd in Charlotte, the Four Horsemen rode off into the
sunset in a very fitting and emotional manner. They displayed the teamwork the
Horsemen have always been famous for in dismantling the best the WWF had to
offer one final time.
Thank you, Ric Flair. Thank you, Arn Anderson. Both of you will be missed.
D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry certainly made an impact upon their WWF debut. Mark
Henry softened up and eventually disposed of WWF legend The Undertaker without
much effort on his part, and D-Lo Brown displayed some of the finest teamwork
seen anywhere with both Henry and Shawn Michaels. These two should be watched
in the future.
Ken Shamrock scored not only a moral victory but also a title victory in an
impromptu match against the Undertaker. Despite a bad elbow injury and a not-
yet-fully-healed shoulder, Shamrock gutted it out and KOed the Undertaker with
a well-placed uppercut which broke his jaw and gave him a severe concussion.
Ken Shamrock has been redeemed - or so it seems.
The Rock played his games on Hollywood Hogan once again. Even though they
officially faced one another tonight, they never touched. The Rock even went
so far as to voluntarily get himself counted out against Stan Hansen just to
make Hogan even madder.
Rocky Maivia has said it time and again - with his WWF career coming to a
close, he will not face Hogan, so it seems as though Hogan will have to live
with his hatred forever. Very smart move on Maivia's part because Hogan has
been easy pickings ever since he screwed Maivia out of his WWF contract prior
to the King of the Ring.
Tomorrow night Chris Benoit will face Brian Christopher for the WWF title,
and in only three weeks, the winner of that match will have to defend his title
against The Rock in the latter's final WWF match.
We'll have a great program for you tomorrow with a whole host of new faces. See
you then !
