Good episode of Raw. The main event was nice, I remember Austin and Shamrock having a solid match in ral life and hoped this was comparable. Mike Awesome and Mankind getting involved wasn't totally unexpected and I sense a tag team match coming up. The Corporation/Ministy feud is progressing nicely and you're doing a good job setting up the Survivor Series match between them. I can also see a DX/Nation Survivor Series match added to the card as well after what went down between the two gropus. Still not sure about where you're taking Owen Hart, I just hope it doesn't involve the Blue Blazer. Overall a good job this time around.

WWF RAW is WAR I'm looking forward to tonight's show after last week's episode with Austin holding McMahon hostage. Nice opening contest with Jeff Jarrett picking up the win over the British Bulldog. Liking Owen's downward spiral with Bulldog in the mix, honestly. Enjoyed the promo between Stone Cold and the Corporation, Shamrock and Austin tonight should be good, but a loss would hurt either man. Good interviews from the Outlaws and Mankind, hopefully the Brood retain the title though. Solid win for Test, liked the aftermath with the Ministry. Suspecting the two cloaked members to be the Acolytes. Hey! I was right! Just to note, really loving the Ministry so far, keep it up. Glad the Brood retained the titles with a distraction from the Nation, really hoping to see DX versus the Nation at Survivor Series. They locked DX out! Those sneaky bastards! Really intrigued to who will be the last man for both the Corporation and the Ministry. Now they got Chyna! Obvious win for Rock over Al Snow; DX saving Chyna from a beat down followed by a brawl was great. Almost as great as "the fans got ready to explode just like Chyna's fake breasts." Fantastic. Sable and the Headbangers getting the win was alright, giving Sable some momentum for Survivor Series. Terri is still whoring herself out to take out Goldust, but will the job ever be done? Simple yet effective win for the Acolytes. Shane McMahon being a little hesitant to join the Corporate Team, interesting. Christian working two matches in a night? Surely that's a typo. Still a good victory for Sabu, I can dig The Brood versus RVD and Sabu down the road. Finally, a chaotic (yet awesome) way to close out the show. Shamrock and Awesome getting the better of their rivals put them over well, and I like that you're playing up on the fact they were rivals only two weeks ago. Another great show this week, Dan. The Ministry and the Corporation seemed to take up a big chunk of the show, but it's understandable.

I'm a bit behind last time, I gave a quick glance over the stuff from the last PPV Judgment Day and just as a general note I want to say I'm loving the unique direction you're taking this. Mankind and Shamrock as headliners is something different and should create for a fun feud and match. Onto Raw.
Solid opening contest with Jarrett picking up the victory over Bulldog, I don't necessarily know what to make of the Owen Hart stuff right now, I'll hold on and wait to see what you're going to do with him though. I liked the Austin/Shamrock segment. I like what you're doing with the corporation, the Acolytes returning is great. Survivor series match between the corporation and the ministry should be really fun. The Nation segment was fun, though I'm kind of hopping you move The Rock and Triple H onto bigger things as the stables are just holding them back at this point. Why is Christian wrestling twice on one show in a title match and then a seemingly random singles match with Sabu, though I imagine you're going with a Sabu and RVD team to challenge Christian and Gangrel, just seems like an oversight or something. A great way to close out the show with Shamrock and Austin and the pier 6 brawl.
Overall a good show, a couple of minor things but it pushed forward to main rivalries and storylines really well. You've got a good thing going here and I'm looking forward to more.

WWF Sunday Night HeAT: Sunday 1st November 1998 Austin, Texas - Frank Erwin Arena
The opening video package for WWF Sunday Night HeAT aired, and we cut to the live Frank Erwin Arena for the first ever episode of Sunday Night HeAT LIVE on the air. Shane McMahon alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler kick off the show and preview that tonight we will be hearing from the Chairman, Mr McMahon as well as what last Monday night between Shane and Vince could have been about.
The theme of Mankind hit to kick us off, and out limped the WWF Champion, Mankind, the fans cheering 'Foley' as he made his way to the ring, Mankind crawling into the ring and beginning to talk about how 1998 has definitely been the Year of Foley. No other can compare to the bumps, scratches, cuts, gashes and bruises he has sacrificed to keep the World Wrestling Federation alive and well. He pioneered the Hardcore match, revolutionized Hell in a Cell, and he's been in so many Steel Cage matches he's just about lost count. But he's now the WWF Champion! And in that role, he'd like to say that he stands up for something every common man out there has wanted to do but never had the spirit to. He is the example. Mankind talks about how in two weeks he will be in this very ring defending his title against Ken Shamrock, and he wanted to talk about what happened last Monday night. Mankind did not take too kindly to what happened with Mike Awesome and Shawn Michaels getting in the way of a fantastic match up. And at that, evening triple teaming Stone Cold Steve Austin! He tells us that he was not happy with how that event turned out, and that is why tonight, he wants to issue a challenge to the so-called "Gladiator", Mike Awesome! The fans cheered as Shawn Michaels' theme hit, the Commissioner strutting his way out onto the rampway. The "Heartbreak Kid" says that he knows how Mick feels because he's not exactly a student of the game anymore. Shawn reminds Mankind of their historic match two years ago on pay-per-view, and how they both proved how chaotic a WWF Championship defense can be. And on behalf of Mike Awesome, Shawn would like to accept Mankind's challenge, and it will happen in the main event tonight on HeAT! Shawn then tells Mankind that he can consider it a passing...from the "Showstopper"...to the "Gladiator"!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
A replay of last Monday night on RAW is WAR aired, as the ex-wife of Goldust, Terri Runnels was found roaming through the men's shower room, and hopping into a stall with a superstar, which turned out to be two superstars, Brian Christopher AND Scott Taylor of Too Much!
1) Too Much (w/Terri Runnels) def. Goldust & Dan Severn by disqualification - With Terri Runnels having showered with Too Much last Monday night on RAW is WAR, Goldust had now made targets out of "Too Sexay" Brian Christopher and "Too Hott" Scott Taylor. Too Much hugged a lot in this match, and it gave a lot to thought about why Too Much were showering together in one stall last Monday night. Dan Severn has had a past with Too Much, "The Beast" having been on Shotgun Saturday Night recently, demolishing various enhancement talent. Severn tossed Taylor around the ring, as the father of Brian Christopher, Jerry Lawler talked about how Monday night was an embarrassment for him as Christopher's Dad. Severn made quick work of Taylor, the Beast Choker putting Taylor to sleep outside of the ring whilst Goldust decided to play dirty and give Too Much a win, giving Christopher the Shattered Dreams! (3:26, **)
Brian Christopher scrambled around the ring holding his genitalia as Goldust had just kicked another flirtatious young WWF superstar right in the unmentionable area! Goldust gave Christopher the Curtain Call as Dan Severn released the Beast Choker from Scott Taylor at that moment. The "Beast" and the "Bizarre One" celebrated their dominant loss whilst Terri Runnels stormed off without Too Much.
The Godfather was standing by with Kevin Kelly backstage as Godfather was asked about his current relationship with the Nation after they walked out last Sunday night on HeAT. Godfather told Kelly that all was well in the Nation now, especially after what happened on Monday night. They showed that bitch Chyna exactly who not to mess with, and he thinks that D-Generation X better check who they're messing with before they try face the Nation again! Godfather talks about how he could have the WWF Intercontinental Championship won tonight, and he'll be doing it to knock off DX and expose them as the phonies everyone always knew they were! He laughed as two of his Hos appeared, escorting him to the entrance way.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
An advertisement aired, promoting WWF Survivor Series, live on pay-per-view on Sunday, November 15th 1998 from St Louis, Missouri.
2) Triple H def. The Godfather (w/Hos) to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship - There didn't seem to be a sign of any other D-Generation X or Nation members attending in the Frank Erwin Arena here tonight live on HeAT, and thus this was the Godfather's big opportunity to claim the WWF Intercontinental Championship from Triple H, the leader of DX. Hunter didn't seem to be in a laughing mood tonight, more of a serious one, especially after the number in which the Nation did on DX's Chyna this past Monday night on RAW. Triple H nailed a spinebuster and quickly tried the Pedigree, but the size of the Godfather caused him to dominate more. Godfather set up the Ho Train and missed, Triple H with the Pedigree for the win! (4:47, **1/4)
Triple H celebrated his win and picked up the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Hunter taking a microphone and inviting the Godfather's Hos to join him in the ring and feel his... biceps. Hunter talked about how the Nation took it one step too far last Monday night on RAW, and so D-Generation X plan to even things up tomorrow night live, and if these Hos don't like it, he's got two words for them to do, and that's 'SUCK IT'!
Michael Hayes was shown standing by with the "Gladiator" Mike Awesome, as Awesome was asked about his match with Mankind tonight. Awesome talked about how big an opportunity it was, to break this Federation's WWF Champion in half! Awesome says that he's watched Mankind since he was in ECW himself. Ever since he was in Japan and he'd hear about Cactus Jack in another deathmatch. Tonight is Mankind's deathmatch, and he hoped that Stone Cold Steve Austin was watching, because in two weeks, after an Awesome Bomb and a pinfall, the "Texas Rattlesnake"s time in the World Wrestling Federation, would be over.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK === 3) TAKA Michinoku def. Yoshihiro Tajiri to gain contention to the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship - This was a special experience for those watching HeAT live, because they were about to see the light heavyweight division at their very best. Though mainly featured on their own show on the USA Network every Saturday night from 11 Eastern called 'Super Astros', this match was to determine who was to go on to face Abismo Negro for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship at the Survivor Series in two weeks time. TAKA Michinoku managed to defeat Savio Vega last week on Super Astros in a semi-final match of this four man contenders tournament, whereas Yoshihiro Tajiri was able to knock off a victory against Mr Aguila last night. Michinoku and Tajiri had a feud dating back to the Kai En Tai invasion last Spring, and Michinoku almost had the win various times just for Yamaguchi to get involved. Tajiri at Michinoku stunned with his athletic feet, but when going for the Buzzsaw Kick, TAKA dodged it barely, Michinoku caught Tajiri on his shoulders, and the Michinoku Driver finished it perfectly! (7:11, **3/4)
TAKA Michinoku celebrated his win as the crowd cheered, Yoshihiro Tajiri being aided to by Yamaguchi. Michinoku was going to be facing Abismo Negro on November 15th live on pay-per-view for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship!
The Undertaker was shown in the backstage area, as he was standing with Paul Bearer, the "Lord of Darkness" and Bearer discussing the scenario in which Vince McMahon will pass on to the afterlife, and all of his Corporation will crumble in the midst of his decease. Bearer laughed with joy, telling 'Taker that he knows that the "Deadman" can make this happen. Undertaker talks about how once the Ministry of Darkness destroy Vince's infertile Corporation at the Survivor Series, all evil will reign supreme over the World Wrestling Federation! He laughs evilly as we cut away.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
An advertisement aired, promoting WWF RAW is WAR, tomorrow night live on USA Network from 9PM Easten. It promoted D-Generation X 'matching up' that the Nation started last week; the Ministry of Darkness members and the Corporation members facing off as the Undertaker takes on the Big Bossman and the Acolytes take on Steven Regal and Jeff Jarrett; But also, we will catch a word with Owen Hart about what his decision is on his future with the World Wrestling Federation!
4) WWF Champion Mankind vs Mike Awesome (w/Shawn Michaels) ended in a double count-out - A brutal main event, as we anticipated a war, and this is exactly what we got. The WWF Champion took on the "Gladiator", and it was like the young lion trying to take out the King of the Jungle. Mankind wouldn't give in though, as he stunned Awesome with many hard-hitting blows to the head. It was standard match ruling, so there were so many restrictions on this match. Awesome worked over the shoulder of Mankind as Awesome still seemingly had problems with Ken Shamrock, the newest addition to the Corporation. Mankind tried the Mandible Claw on Awesome but Mr Socko wasn't sunk in completely, and Awesome just went right to work on Mankind's shoulder again! Awesome picked Mankind up with the Awesome Bomb as the "Gladiator" tried to throw him out of the ring with it! Mankind dragged Awesome out too, and applied the Mandible Claw, Mankind losing it and he got both of them counted out! (6:17, **1/4)
Mankind refused to let Mr Socko out of the mouth of Mike Awesome, the WWF Champion teaching the "Gladiator" the hard way! Mankind then clotheslined Shawn Michaels down, as he was getting vicious! Mankind delivered a knee to the skull of Awesome, sandwiching his head between the knee and the steel steps, as Mankind had just flat out lost it! Mr McMahon suddenly wheeled out onto the rampway, telling Mankind to calm it, because tomorrow night on RAW he'd be having fun because Mike Awesome will be giving him an Awesome Bomb right from the tiers of the Compaq Center when Awesome faces Mankind again in a Falls Count Anywhere match! Vince then also revealed that tomorrow, he will have a big announcement for all to hear. HeAT went off the air as Mankind stood aggressively panting at Vince.

Pretty solid episode of Heat. The main event was nice, though the double-countout wasn't totally unexpected since you couldn't job either man at this point. I do have a concern about Mankind taking Awesome out the way he did, since IMO Awesome should look stronger going into his match with Austin. Still a decent show and I'm interested to see what you got for Raw, including Vince's big announcement.

Ver solid promo from WWF Champion Mankind to kick off HeAT, addressing the occurrences at the end of RAW is WAR. Sounds like a good main event in the works between Mankind and Mike Awesome. Too Much are gay? Goldust just rampantly kicking people in the balls is way too entertaining. Good Intercontinental Championship defense for Triple H against the Godfather. Still, both factions imploding is inevitable, and could happen as soon as Survivor Series, me thinks. Seemed like a nice Light Heavyweight bout here. TAKA going on to face Abismo Negro at Survivor Series, I can dig. Lastly, great main event between World Wrestling Federation Champion Mankind and Mike Awesome. The double count out finish worked well with Mankind going ape sh*t. Ooh, a Falls Count Anywhere match. Should be very exciting. A fairly good live edition of HeAT overall.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 2nd November 1998 Houston, Texas - Compaq Center A replay from last night on a live episode of Sunday Night HeAT aired, showing the match that Mike Awesome and Mankind had in the main event, both men fighting valiantly until both men got into a brawl at ringside, both men getting themselves counted out. Mr McMahon would then come out and make a rematch for tonight, where Mankind and Awesome will fight in a Falls Count Anywhere match! The opening video package for RAW is WAR aired, and we cut to the live Compaq Center, pyrotechnics going off, and Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler introduced us to the show.
1) Mankind vs Mike Awesome (w/Shawn Michaels) ended in no-contest in a Falls Count Anywhere match - A hard-hitting match it was last night on HeAT, but this was a lot more physical, as the "Gladiator" showed off his determination to be a future WWF Champion. Mike Awesome and Mankind went at it on the rampway before the bell even rang. Mankind fired back, Mankind sending Awesome into the steel steps and keeping a firm distance away from the Commissioner, Shawn Michaels. Awesome started hammering away at Mankind, sending him right into the barricade before finally getting into the ring and officially starting the match. These two went at it furiously, Mankind's own WWF Championship used against him as Awesome struck Mankind in the head with it. Mankind used a steel chair in his defence, laying out the "Gladiator", and even striking Michaels in the head with the chair! Awesome and Mankind brawled back and forth up the rampway, Mike setting up for the Awesome Bomb off of the stage just for Mankind to reverse it into a backslide, Mankind clotheslined! Awesome taunted for the booing crowd before suddenly Stone Cold Steve Austin came from the back, steel chair to the skull of Awesome! Austin fired away at Awesome, and the official threw the match out. (8:37, **1/4)
Mike Awesome tried to escape Stone Cold as Austin clotheslined Shawn Michaels as the Commissioner ran at him, the "Gladiator" then kicking Austin in the gut and trying to Awesome Bomb him off the stage! Austin escaped it though, when suddenly Mankind got up and ran at Awesome with a clothesline! Ken Shamrock appeared behind Austin and gave him a belly-to-back suplex right out on the rampway, and as the four man brawl continued, officials rushed out to break the herd up!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
We see Mike Awesome and Shawn Michaels stumbling through the backstage area as we return to RAW is WAR, the Commissioner telling the "Gladiator" that Stone Cold Steve Austin is a man that will stab you in the back if you turn his back to him. Awesome then sees Ken Shamrock, as the "World's Most Dangerous Man" notes that he saw some hesitation out there, Shamrock asking Awesome if he's man enough to take Austin out of the World Wrestling Federation. Awesome tells Shamrock to shut his trap, and Michaels makes up the main event for tonight, Austin and Mankind against Awesome and Shamrock! Shamrock laughs, telling Awesome that he'll see him out there. Awesome didn't seem pleased.
2) Prince Albert & Darren Drozdov (w/Tori) def. The Hardy Boys - This was the Hardy Boys' tag team debut on RAW is WAR, Jeff and Matt having proved themselves very well on Shotgun Saturday Night as well as Super Astros in recent months. Prince Albert and Jeff started, an obvious size difference being noted. Albert dominated with ease, as Jeff tried to get in several drop kicks and even had a small package synced in at one point. Matt got the tag and him and Droz went at it, Tori watching on, looking more trampishly dressed than before she made this alliance with Droz and Albert. Droz gave Matt the Droz Driver for an easy victory. (2:48, **)
Darren Drozdov celebrated his win as Tori and Prince Albert joined Droz in the ring. The Hardy Boys were laid out, as this trio had impressed many with this quick destruction tonight on RAW.
Mr McMahon's limousine pulled up outside the arena, as the crowd booed, Vince stepping out on his feet, his knee definitely repaired it seemed. McMahon was with his son, Shane as Shane continued to ask Vince if he wanted to go ahead with this announcement. Vince told Shane that he was in a wheelchair for a month, but that doesn't mean he was intellectually- disabled. Vince walked into the Compaq Center as Shane remained reluctant.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
An advertisement aired, promoting a live episode of Sunday Night HeAT coming up on Sunday, November 29th 1998, and at this show, the first tickets can be reserved for WrestleMania XV, all from the First Union Center in Philadelphia!
Rob Van Dam and Sabu were shown standing in the backstage area as the "Whole F'N Show" complimented the "Arabian Nightmare" on his win against Christian last week, as it definitely could have propelled them into the chase for a WWF Tag Team Championship shot. RVD tells Sabu that this time, they will be higher than ever! Sabu nodded, when Al Snow, Bart Gunn and Bob Holly suddenly appeared from across the locker room. Al said that Head was just in the neighbourhood, and he heard something about how they deserve a WWF Tag Team Championship opportunity. Snow begs to differ. Bart and Bob tell RVD and Sabu that they probably couldn't even wrestle out of a paper bag against them. Al told Van Dam and Sabu that the JOB Squad WILL get the job done and beat them tonight.
3) The Acolytes (w/Paul Bearer) def. Steven Regal & Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) - This proved to be a difficult match for the Corporation to get their heads around, as Steven Regal and "Double J" Jeff Jarrett tried to brawl with the Acolytes just for Bradshaw and Faarooq's new heartless characters to show no forgiveness on their bodies. Bradshaw tossed Jarrett around, whilst at ringside Paul Bearer was ominously following Debra. The "Lord of Lords" made a difference as he took Bradshaw down with a stiff knee to the face, Regal working over the neck of Bradshaw and continuing to brutalize him with several forearms. Regal gave Bradshaw a neckbreaker and continued to ground him, Jarrett getting in the odd cheap shot as well. Jarrett applied the Figure-Four Leglock on Bradshaw, but Bradshaw was able to reach the ropes, Bradshaw then giving Jarrett a big back body drop! Faarooq got the tag, and he ran in, taking out Jarrett AND Regal in one swing. Faarooq connected with the Dominator on Jarrett for the win. (5:12, **1/4)
The Acolytes celebrated their win as Paul Bearer suddenly freaked Debra out with a malicious glare! Bradshaw and Faarooq left the ring and grabbed Debra, the Acolytes and Bearer leaving with the girlfriend of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett!
Owen Hart was shown sitting down in the studios at Stamford, Connecticut, and the WWF European Champion will speak his mind regarding what the future of the "Black Hart" has in store. He continued to look unsatisfied, as several WWF employees appeared to discuss what was going on.
We see D-Generation X on their way to the ring, and up next we will hear from the boys and how they plan to strike back at the Nation!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
An advertisement aired, promoting the Survivor Series, live on pay-per-view on Sunday, November 15th 1998 from St. Louis, Missouri.
The theme of D-Generation X hit and the crowd screamed, Triple H leading the way accompanied by X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws. The WWF Intercontinental Champion climbed into the ring and started the proceedings by hyping up this capacity crowd! X-Pac continued to ask the fans in Houston if they were ready, as the Outlaws introduced themselves to the World Wrestling Federation. Road Dogg talked about how it was time to think fast, speak fast and get gone, because D-Generation X was about to bust a bad ass move on their asses! "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn took the microphone and talked about how the Nation have tried to get underneath the skin of DX. X-Pac talks about how they are here to even something up, and X-Pac introduces Chyna! The fans cheer as the "Ninth Wonder of the World" makes her way out to the ring, Chyna with a grin on her face as she didn't appear to have a scratch on her! Chyna got into the ring and talked about how her alliance with DX was seemingly reaching the end, but after last week, and how the Nation TRIED to kick her ass, they failed, they may as well have just licked it! The fans cheer as Triple H talks about how they weren't done though, introducing someone the Rock will very well know. Out came Rocky Johnson as the crowd cheered, Rocky Johnson a former WWF Tag Team Champion here in this company. Triple H asked Rocky who is favourite WWF superstar was, Johnson mentioning that it was Triple H, but he loved DX! Hunter laughed, telling Rocky that he has good taste. Hunter asked for his thoughts on his son, the Rock. Rocky mentioned that he was not a fan of him whatsoever, and that ever since he joined the Nation, he has annoyed the Johnson family. X-Pac asked Rocky if he would ever give the Nation a chance. Johnson calls it a racist organisation of degenerates! But DX, they are the TRUE degenerates, amazing talent at that. Road Dogg then asked for his thoughts on Rocky and Tony Atlas' team being a skidmark of greatness compared to the New Age Outlaws. Johnson just laughed, when suddenly the theme of the Nation hit!
The crowd booed as the Nation stood in union on the rampway. The Rock fronted them, Rock asking why in the Hell this bent up, old piece of garbage was in the ring with a bunch of idiots. Rock talked about how his Dad was always one for the 'unfly', but he never knew he could go as low as D-Generation X. Rock tells Triple H that it comes to his attention that these two factions are just going going at it and trying to better each other. So how about this, in two weeks time at the Survivor Series, it's the Nation and DX. Ten person tag team elimination match, and the winning team of that match will for all that's holy remain as a faction. The losing team, which will probably be DX because they're so roodypoo on the stick, will disband forever! The fans cheer as Triple H smirked, Hunter telling Rock that this is all true, for once he agrees on something the Rock says! Rock says it doesn't matter what Triple H thinks, because without a shadow of a doubt, Rock, D-Lo Brown, Mark Henry, Phatso and that god damn Pimp will all walk into the Kiel Center and whoop some candyasses! Triple H laughs at Rock's charisma, Road Dogg telling the Nation that they're on! The Nation begin to leave when suddenly X-Pac yells for them to suck it, and the whole of DX and Rocky Johnson do the crotch chop! Triple H then suddenly plants Rock's father with the Pedigree, these degenerates having just knocked out their biggest fan in the Rock's Dad!
The Undertaker was shown with Paul Bearer, both of them taking a menacing walk down a corridor, and up next, the "Lord of Darkness" goes face to face with the Big Bossman!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
We return to RAW is WAR as Jeff Jarrett was shown yelling at Test, "Double J" in a stress over how the Ministry of Darkness kidnapped his girlfriend, Debra earlier tonight! Jarrett tells the Corporation that they MUST find her.
4) The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) def. The Big Bossman - The Big Bossman was hell bent on showing the Undertaker no mercy, as this was our second confrontation between the Corporation and the Ministry of Darkness, both factions scheduled to go at it in two weeks time at the Survivor Series. The Bossman got in some cheap shots, pounding away at the lower abdomen of the "Lord of Darkness". Undertaker quickly fired back though as Bossman whipped 'Taker off the ropes and the "Phenom" came right back with a diving clothesline! Undertaker went Old School on Bossman before he anticipated the final Chokeslam just for Bossman to get out of it and turn it into a DDT! Bossman worked over the neck of the "Deadman" stomping away at it relentlessly. Bossman also taunted the Compaq Center, the "Deadman" soon mounting an uprising, and Undertaker grabbed Bossman by the throat and dropped him with a Chokeslam, just for Jeff Jarrett to rush for the ring and plant 'Taker with an acoustic guitar! (4:33, **1/4)
The Undertaker didn't seem to feel any damage from the guitar shot from Jeff Jarrett, and instead "Double J" punched the "Lord of Darkness and yelled at him for Debra back! Undertaker grinned evilly and dropped Jarrett with a big Tombstone Piledriver! 'Taker soon left with Paul Bearer.
Goldust was shown walking through the backstage area when suddenly he came face to face with Terri Runnels! Goldust asked Terri if he sl*ttish ways were over with in any way. Terri laughed, telling Goldust that she's her own woman now. She does what she wants. She's taken half of Goldust's life in their divorce, and now she's going to continue to break his spirit until he's half the man he was!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
We go back to the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut as Michael Cole was sat down with Owen Hart, Cole reminding the "Black Hart" of what happened two weeks ago on RAW is WAR where Owen dropped Val Venis on his head with a tombstone piledriver, perhaps endangering the career of the "Big Valbowski". Owen told Michael that it's still a ringing his ear. He recalls it all, the referee yelling for help. He honoured Val's tenacity, and if he's ended a fellow great Canadian wrestler's career, he is so apologetic. But in his two week absence, he has observed that there are better deeds for him to do, and he will accomplish them. He's the one that remained strong throughout the hardest of Hart Family times, and as WWF European Champion, he will keep fighting. Him and Davey Boy Smith are two peas in a pod, they stick together. And he'll be back in action this Sunday night on HeAT. Cole thanks Hart for his time and looks forward to seeing him return to the ring.
Sable's theme hit, and she made her way to the ring, the beautiful blonde climbing into the ring and taking a microphone, Sable talking about how her and Jacqueline's rivalry has gone on long enough. It started with a guy involved, and now she just plain wants to spite her. And she's getting pretty sick and tired of it! Sable wants to settle the score once and for all in a final encounter. The theme of Jacqueline hit, and she made her way out to the ring as well, the WWF Womens Champion asking Sable what it is she despises about her. It's just jealousy, Jackie's sure. Sable asks Jacqueline if she honestly believes that she is better than Sable, because she can prove her otherwise! They're scheduled to fight for the title at the Survivor Series, and that works good enough for her, but this needs to be THE last time they fight. No rematch clause, no bogus interference, the final opportunity. Jacqueline accepts, stating that if Sable loses, she will never have another opportunity at the title again as long as she's holding the WWF Womens Championship!
== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
5) Rob Van Dam & Sabu def. The JOB Squad (w/Al Snow) - A back and forth match here, as the JOB Squad represented by Bart Gunn and Bob Holly teamed up against the "Whole F'N Show" and the "Arabian Nightmare". Rob Van Dam and Bart Gunn started, both men exchanging high-flying moves, Bart soon trying to knock Van Dam silly, just for Sabu to get the tag, and Sabu took Bart out with a springboard moonsault from the middle rope! Sabu set up for the Arabian Facebuster early but Bob Holly kneed Sabu in the spine as he bounced off the ropes, Holly getting the tag and both men worked away at Sabu! The nephew of the great Sheik was in a bad way as RVD finally managed to get the tag, Van Dam kicking Bob's lights out, and RVD then connecting with a the Van Daminator to Bart, Rolling Thunder to Bob getting the win! (4:45, **1/4)
Rob Van Dam and Sabu celebrated their win to loud cheers, the "Whole F'N Show" and the "Arabian Nightmare" then suddenly getting a bloodbath! It was evident that the Brood were behind this, as RVD and Sabu might be targeting the WWF Tag Team Championships in recent weeks.
Kevin Kelly is standing by with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Austin was asked about his thoughts about what could be his second to last appearance on RAW is WAR before the Survivor Series. The "Texas Rattlesnake" laughs at the fact that Kelly is convinced by Survivor Series being his last appearance. If anything, while Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels are cuddling up to Mike Awesome for this, they fail to realize that it will be Mike Awesome that gets an ass kicking! Austin says that the "Gladiator" may be impressive, but in the Street Fight at the Survivor Series, Mike Awesome will leave a bloody mess, as will anybody else that decides to get involved!
We cut to the parking lot, where Test and Steven Regal were shown searching for Debra, Debra having been kidnapped by the Acolytes earlier tonight. Suddenly, they heard her screaming, as Regal and Test made a run after a hearse, but the hearse made a getaway from the Compaq Center!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
Vince McMahon made his way to the ring with his son, Shane as the crowd booed loudly, Mr McMahon climbing into the ring and saying that he knows that Shane McMahon will be intimidated by what may go on in this ring in a few moments, but Vince has good faith. He says that he is in desperate measures and a desperate need for a fifth member for the Corporation at the Survivor Series. And he has to be the most ruthless son of a bitch the World Wrestling Federation has ever seen! McMahon tells Shane not to be concerned, because he's a convincing businessman. Vince introduces us to the fifth member of the Corporation that the Ministry of Darkness will most likely never ever be able to overcome...Kane! The crowd cheer as the "Big Red Machine"s pyrotechnics went off, Kane making his way out to the ring to loud cheers, the former WWF Champion obviously very popular in his absence. Kane made his first appearance since Judgment Day with a massive Chokeslam to the Chairman! Kane then followed up by grabbing Shane and planting him with the Tombstone Piledriver, Kane seemingly still wanting revenge for the Undertaker and Paul Bearer's betrayal.
A 'Don't Try This At Home' vignette aired. 6) Goldust & Tiger Ali Singh def. Kaz Hayashi & Shoichi Funaki (w/Yamaguchi & Terri Runnels) - Well, Terri Runnels has certainly shown us how to get around the WWF locker room in recent weeks, taking on the likes of the Big Bossman, the JOB Squad, Too Much and now Kai En Tai. Shoichi Funaki and Kaz Hayashi impressed many in this match, as Hayashi flew around the ring, hurricanranas to Goldust any opportunity he could. Funaki worked away at the leg of Tiger Ali Singh, Singh almost twice the size of the tiny Hayashi. Singh gave Funaki a big back body drop with ease though, and Singh had seemingly prepared the Hangman's Neckbreaker, Singh attempting it just for Hayashi to dive in with a chop block. Singh was double-teamed by the exciting Kai En Tai as Terri watched on, making a move on Yamaguchi in the process. Goldust soon got the tag though, and Goldust came in with the Curtain Call on Funaki! Singh covered for the win. (4:07, **)
Goldust climbed out of the ring and gave Yamaguchi the Shattered Dreams, Goldust continuing with a big clothesline to Kaz Hayashi as he flew at him from the apron! Goldust climbed into the ring and gave Tiger Ali Singh the Shattered Dreams as well, Goldust not trusting anything that walked in the World Wrestling Federation!
Ken Shamrock was shown on his way through the corridors to the ring, as he was talking to himself as a method to hype himself, started to grow louder and louder as he was motivated to snap Mankind's ankle! The tag team main event is next!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
7) Mike Awesome & Ken Shamrock def. Stone Cold Steve Austin & Mankind - An extension of our main event to RAW is WAR and Sunday Night HeAT throughout last week, as well as the opening contest to RAW is WAR tonight. Stone Cold Steve Austin went in there against Ken Shamrock and tore his head off, Lou Thesz presses flying everywhere as well as a spinebuster or two. Mike Awesome then got the tag and the "Gladiator" evened the odds, spinebuster to the "Texas Rattlesnake" which very well put Austin in his place. Mankind tried to get the tag, but Austin was brutalized, Shamrock going right after the ankle of Austin whilst Awesome just tried to torture Stone Cold. Shawn Michaels would get involved every time Austin mounted a comeback, leaving it up to Mankind to make the save. Mankind finally got the tag, and the deranged WWF Champion ran in, firing lefts and rights everywhere! Mankind applied the Mandible Claw to Shamrock when suddenly Awesome got in the ring, the Awesome Bomb connecting on Mankind! Shamrock got in and applied the Ankle Lock on Mankind, but Austin got in and gave Shamrock the Stunner! Austin was suddenly given the Awesome Bomb, and Awesome stole a massive upset on Steve Austin! (8:59, **1/2)
Mike Awesome celebrated his win over the carcass of Stone Cold, and if this happens in two weeks, we may never see the "Texas Rattlesnake" ever again! Ken Shamrock applied the Ankle Lock to Mankind meanwhile as Shawn Michaels climbed into the ring to celebrate, the Corporation dominant once again over the WWF Champion and Stone Cold! RAW is WAR went off the air.

Good episode of Raw. After what happened the previous shows I expected a tag team match with Austin & Mankind against Shamrock & Awesome and once we got it, it was pretty good, with Awesome getting a win over Austin to establish him as a real threat. Pretty unusual segment with DX and the Nation but their Survivor Series match should be a good one. It's good that Owen's returning to action, I almost feared that you were going to bring back the Blue Blazer. I'm sensing he'll be feuding with The British Bulldog very soon. Some nice build with the Corporation/Ministry feud, though I'm curious what's going to happen to Debra. I'm also wondering if Kane is still going to be on Team Corporate or is there some retribution coming his way. Overall a good episode and I'm getting more and more interested in the pay-per-view.

RAW - Good fun brawl to open up the show between Awesome and Mankind and later Austin and Shamrock in order to set up the main event, I really love the main event picture you've got going on here. Jarrett is someone who I feel makes a good character in this time period, I hope he breaks out on his own for at least an IC title push sometime in this diary, liked The Acolytes picking up the victory though as momentum for the ministry. I liked what you tried to do with DX and Rocky Johnson but it felt a bit strange reading that he and his son basically hate each other, I don't think the reasoning for this was explained well, it seemed a bit forced and unnatural written segment. Oh well still enjoying the nation feud with DX and glad the match was made. Undertaker/Bossman was fun build for the Coporation/ministry feud, nice to see Jarrett interfere and a feud with Taker and Jarrett would be all sorts of fun. Well written promo with Owen Hart, nice to see him returning to action and looking forward to the direction you take his character. Nice little win for RVD & Sabu, should be a fun tag title match-up. I like what you've done with the corporation/ministry feud. Wondering what you are going to do with Kane though in regards to the feud. Finally the main event was a good way to wrap up the show. Nice to see Awesome pick up a victory over Austin, though I'm hoping Austin beats Awesome in the PPV match. Overall enjoyed this show a bunch, looking forward to SurSer, keep it up.

WWF RAW is WAR Hot start to the show with Mankind and Mike Awesome going at it in a Falls Count Anywhere bout. Exciting brawl with Austin and Shamrock getting involved, big start for the show this week. Saw the tag match coming, should be fun. Still liking how Awesome and Shamrock's egos keep clashing. Glad to finally see the Hardy Boys on RAW is WAR, but Albert and Droz needed the win over them. Intrigued by Vince's announcement for tonight. Solid win for Faarooq and Bradshaw over the Corporation. They got Debra! Great promo from D-Generation X and the Nation, setting up the ten man tag as expected. Hopefully the Nation loses this one and they all go their separate ways. Oh, poor Rocky taking the Pedigree. Undertaker versus Bossman up next, alright. The guitar shot not phasing 'Taker at all reminds me of a similar segment with Kane, love it. Owen Hart returning to action this week on HeAT is some good news, but I don't think the conflict within the Hart family is settled yet. Sable versus Jacqueline for the final time at Survivor Series is fine, wonder who'll be the next challenger seeing as it's likely Sable will win. Good win for Rob Van Dam and Sabu, looking forward to their match with the Brood. Kane as the fifth man for the Corporate Team is exciting, loved the attack on the McMahons though.Great segment. Obvious victory for Goldust and Tiger Ali Singh, Goldust attacking everybody after the match was a nice touch too. Finally, fantastic win for Mike Awesome, getting the upset pin on Stone Cold. Corporation stands tall again, looking forward to Survivor Series. A lot is on the line for sure.

WWF Sunday Night HeAT: Sunday 8th November 1998 Austin, Texas - Frank Erwin Arena
The opening video package for Sunday Night HeAT aired, and we cut to the Compaq Center, as Shane McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler were standing by, reviewing what happened last Monday night on RAW is WAR, but also what we are in store for tonight, one week away from the Survivor Series!
The crowd exploded with cheers as the "Big Red Machine" began to make his way out to the arena, pyrotechnics also going off as the former WWF Champion, Kane stood in the middle of the ring and picked up a microphone, the fans and announcers shocked at the thought that the silent Kane will actually be speaking for the first time here tonight! Kane said that it was the first time he's ever been able to speak on television. He's been silent for over a year whenever anybody saw him. But now, without a manager like his father, Paul Bearer at ringside, he's finally able to speak. He couldn't speak for over two years following that house fire. He suffered from intense pain from the third degree burns he suffered, and those scars will last for the rest of his existence. Kane told us that he took time off to recover from Judgment Day, and how his own brother stabbed him in the spine just like the house fire, but not only the Undertaker, but his father as well! Kane states that is NOT joining the Corporation, nor does he appreciate any of them. He is only here to face the Ministry of Darkness, and with that, he will get revenge on his family! The Undertaker is a marked man, he's set him on fire and settled the score before; but he wants to do it again! Mr McMahon then made his way out to the rampway, accompanied by Test as McMahon asked Kane if he really had to take the hard way last Monday night, and attack the Corporation. Vince would gladly sue Kane at an instance, but he needs him at the Survivor Series. Vince tells Kane to send the Undertaker and Paul Bearer straight back to Hell, but first to make up for what happened last Monday night, Kane will face Test here, right here and now!
1) Kane def. Test - Shane McMahon was routing for his friend in recent weeks, Test, as Test traded blows with the "Big Red Machine" in this big battle of the titans, and this was only the opening contest tonight on HeAT! Mr McMahon observed from the rampway as Test had Kane right where he wanted him, the big Canadian kid having weakened Kane significently. Test soon set up for the Pumphandle Slam though, and Kane just sat up after it! Kane fired back, the fans cheering as Kane grabbed Test by the throat and planted him with a Chokeslam! Kane got a two count, as Test fired back again, the "Hired Gun" with a big elbow into the heart of Kane. Test continued as he decided to go upstairs, preparing a diving elbow drop just for Kane to move out of the way! Kane sat up and delivered a big Tombstone Piledriver, the "Big Red Machine" scoring the win! (4:35, **)
Kane celebrated his win to loud cheers, as he set off his pyrotechnics and then stared at Mr McMahon on the rampway, Kane shaking his head, Vince surprisingly pleased with the "Big Red Machine"s work! Shane McMahon questioned his father's logic, feeding his own faction member, Test to this vile beast!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
We cut to the backstage area as Michael Cole was standing by with the "Black Hart" Owen Hart and the "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith as tonight they were scheduled to go up against the Brood in our tag team match, and this was Owen's return to the ring. The WWF European Champion spoke in character, telling Michael that he did some time thinking, but he's back tonight, and him and Davey are gonna do what they did last year in the tag team division and take the tag team division by storm, the WWF Tag Team Championships will soon be theirs!
2) Starla Saxton def. Luna Vachon (w/Jacqueline) - Starla has certainly been lighting up the womens division as of late, but not like the Sable and Jacqueline rivalry. Saxton has shown an agile variety of moves in her matches against other women on Shotgun Saturday Night and Super Astros in recent weeks, but tonight she did battle with Luna, a WWF womens veteran. Vachon caught Saxton off guard as Starla came from the top rope with a crossbody, dropkick to the ribs. Luna worked over Starla before Vachon started to get slyer in the ring, using the WWF Womens Champion's help to keep control over Starla. Vachon let her guard down though, and Starla cradled Vachon and stole the three! (3:38, *1/2)
Starla Saxton celebrated her win as the crowd cheered, Jacqueline then jumping Starla! Jackie dropped Saxton with a big DDT as the WWF Womens Champion and Luna continued to work over Saxton, when suddenly Sable appeared, Sable dashing down to the ring and taking out Jackie, the fans cheering as Luna seemingly had the two on one advantage, Starla recovering and also helping Sable take out the Pretty Mean Sisters! Sable and Starla stood tall as Jackie and Luna were outraged.
We go to the Ministry of Darkness in the backstage area, as the Undertaker and Paul Bearer led the Brood and the Acolytes with them, Michael Hayes catching a word. Hayes asked the Brood on their thoughts going into this match with Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith, but the "Lord of Darkness" told Hayes that this interview should be focused on more important matters. The Ministry are not scared of the "Black Hart" and the "British Bulldog". And the Brood will walk out tonight with a victory under their belts. Paul Bearer took the microphone and said that they may be lacking in a member for the Survivor Series match next Sunday, and they know that they could have used another member of the Brood. But, they are going to morph a new WWF superstar onto the scene to take that final spot. This final spot will happen tomorrow night on RAW is WAR. The Undertaker also notes that the Ministry kidnapped Debra from the Corporation last Monday night. He convinces Jeff Jarrett that she is in good hands...for now. 'Taker laughs as Hayes asks what this means, the Ministry leaving without giving a reason!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
3) Edge & Christian (w/Gangrel) def. Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith in a non-title match by count-out - This was not going to be as predictable as the Undertaker had just stated before the commercial break, as Edge and Christian may be WWF Tag Team Champions, but they were getting in the ring with two multi-time WWF Intercontinental and Tag Team Champions. Owen Hart was back in the game, starting off with Christian and managing to take advantage of him, the enziguiri connecting from the "Black Hart", and when Davey Boy Smith got the tag, he tossed Christian around like a ragged doll! Edge got the tag, and whilst Davey still had the power advantage, Davey was cut off at the knee, as Edge worked over the knee and chop blocked it after escaping a gorilla press slam. Edge applied a Boston crab and the Brood tried to keep the "British Bulldog" as far away from Owen as possible. Smith managed to power out at last though, and he got the tag to Owen as he took out both members of the Brood before suddenly Owen planted Davey Boy with a tombstone piledriver! The fans booed loudly as Owen returned to the uncharacteristic, unlively state he had in past weeks. Owen walked out on Davey, and the Brood got a count out victory! (5:15, **1/4)
The Brood celebrated their win as they left with the WWF Tag Team Championships just as the Undertaker predicted. Owen Hart had left the premises, heading straight to his car in the parking lot with the WWF European Championship in hand. Owen had betrayed his brother-in-law a second time!
An advertisement aired, promoting the Survivor Series, live on pay-per-view next Sunday night from St Louis, Missouri.
D-Generation X were shown standing by, as Triple H was talking to X-Pac, Hunter encouraging X-Pac that he knew he could do this for DX, because this could be one of DX's last ventures as a faction against the Nation. X-Pac laughed, telling Triple H that he loved his sarcastic side. X-Pac guarantees victory against the Rock tonight, and notes that it will be the Nation that is no more after next week's pay-per-view. X-Pac faces the "People's Champ" next!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK === 4) X-Pac def. The Rock - This was a high impact main event to Sunday Night HeAT tonight, as the winner of this could very well have some effect on what goes on momentum-wise going into the faction ending Survivor Series match next week live on pay-per-view. X-Pac has never defeated the Rock in singles action before, and so it seemed very important for X-Pac to get the victory in this battle. The "People's Champion" oddly came out without anybody accompanying him, uncharacteristic for the "Brahma Bull" to do. X-Pac got in many high-angle kicks, taking Rock down repeatedly with his agility, but X-Pac tried the Bronco Buster perhaps too early, and Rock got his foot right in the ribs of X-Pac! Rock worked over the spine of X-Pac, then applying a Sharpshooter, very interesting for the "Great One" to use, as X-Pac attempted to reach the ropes just for X-Pac to be able to pull away. The match went on as Rock worked the spine, Rock preparing the Rock Bottom when suddenly Chyna came to ringside, the "Ninth Wonder of the World" getting on the apron! Mark Henry came to ringside after her, but Chyna dove off of the apron with a clothesline! Chyna traded blows with D-Lo Brown who also interfered, and suddenly the New Age Outlaws made the save! X-Pac managed to catch Rock off-guard with the X-Factor, and secured the win! (6:48, **1/4)
X-Pac celebrated his win as the crowd cheered, the Nation suddenly hitting the ring as X-Pac tried to fight off D-Lo Brown, Mark Henry being too much for X-Pac to take! "Sexual Chocolate" splashed X-Pac as the Rock directed traffic, Rikishi Phatu and the Godfather also joining on the beatdown of X-Pac, Chyna and the New Age Outlaws! But where was Triple H? The Nation stood tall as HeAT went off the air.

- Decent promo from Kane; Really explains his actions against the Ministry of Darkness and the Corporation - Decent win by Kane; Proves how much of a monster he is. - I see a little tension between Shane and Vince; Possible feud in the future? - Nice little return promo by Owen. Interested in what Owen and Davey can do in the tag divison. - Nice victory for Starla. I can see a tag match between the four women in the future. - Nice promo by the Ministry of Darkness, I'm interested in finding out who the last member is; I have a feeling that it will be Jarrett. - Owen bailed on Davey! What a despicable thing! I could possibly see Owen being the last member for the Survivor Series match. - Nice win for X-Pac. The Nation's beat down seemed intense. - Overall a nice show leading into Monday Night RAW. Excited for the show and Survivor Series.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 9th November 1998 Dallas, Texas - Reunion Arena A replay from last Monday night aired, as it was Mike Awesome and Mankind going at it in a Falls Count Anywhere match, the bout ending in a dramatic non-finish after Stone Cold Steve Austin got involved, and so did Ken Shamrock. A tag team match was set up for later in the show, as Austin and Mankind went at it with Shamrock and Awesome. And Awesome stole a pinfall victory over Stone Cold! With Austin's job on the line in thirteen days, Austin can't afford a loss to Awesome! The opening video package for RAW is WAR aired, and we cut to the Reunion Arena in Dallas, where Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler were standing by, six days away from the Survivor Series!
The theme of Mike Awesome hit as the crowd booed, and out came the "Gladiator" alongside the Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, Shawn Michaels. Awesome made his way to the ring with Michaels, six days away from the "Gladiator"s career-changing match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Survivor Series! Awesome got on the microphone, talking about how the clock was ticking, and as three seconds go by, that's all it would take for Awesome to bring the career of the "Texas Rattlesnake" to an untimely end! Awesome told the fans to shut up, because in the short time in the World Wrestling Federation, he has dominated the majority of the locker room, and on Sunday night in the Street Fight, he will end Austin's career. Not just his career in the WWF, but in sports entertainment! Awesome says that he will break Austin's neck with an Awesome Bomb, he will dive on him over the top rope, he will tackle him through a table, and he will annihilate him until he's a bloody bag of bones! Shawn talks about how pleased he is with the evolution of Awesome, saying how he is the new baddest man on the planet! Austin may have kicked the "Heartbreak Kid"s ass, he may have knocked out "Iron" Mike Tyson, but the thing he is yet to do is defeat the "Gladiator"!
The crowd suddenly cheer loudly as a gong was heard, and out stepped Paul Bearer, no Undertaker in sight! Bearer grinned as he asked Mike Awesome what he meant by saying that he's beaten ALMOST the entire locker room. Bearer tells Awesome that he is in fact a powerful force, but what the "Gladiator" has never done before, is defeat the "Lord of Darkness" himself! The Undertaker is said to be preparing his final addition to the Ministry, but he is always willing to kick some Corporate sellout's ass, and he'll gladly do it in that ring tonight! Michaels seemed reluctant, but Awesome told Paul that he was on! Awesome and 'Taker get it on tonight!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
An advertisement aired, promoting the WWF Survivor Series, live on pay-per-view this Sunday from St. Louis, Missouri.
We see Mankind arrive here at the Reunion Arena, hitchhiker backpack and all, the WWF Champion left his Beatle in the parking lot and started heading for the arena, and we will hear from the WWF Champion later tonight!
1) Steven Regal, the Big Bossman & Test vs the JOB Squad ended in a no-contest - This was quite a big match to kick off the show in the rin, as three members of the Corporation competing against the Ministry of Darkness this Sunday prepared themselves by taking on...the JOB Squad. Al Snow led Bart Gunn and Bob Holly to the ring, as accompanied by Scorpio, but a man in a low-cut shirt and shorts with black facepaint and blue hair followed them. This chunky man also sported the JOB Squad shirt. The announcers noted him as the Blue Meanie throughout. Steven Regal grounded Al Snow with ease, the "Lord of Lords" working over Snow's arm before Test went in there and further manipulated it. The Big Bossman then worked over Snow, and just as Snow gave Bossman the enziguiri, the lights went out! Kane's pyrotechnics went off and the "Big Red Machine" hit the ring, Kane big booting Snow down, as well as a clothesline to Bossman! (3:52, **)
Kane stood in the centre of the ring as the "Big Red Machine" awaited someone to step in, and suddenly Bart Gunn, Bob Holly and Scorpio ran at Kane, the "Big Red Machine" easily disposing of them, a two-for-one Chokeslam on Gunn and Holly! Kane then gave Scorpio the Tombstone Piledriver as the Blue Meanie stood at ringside, frightened. The Corporation evacuated the ring as their supposed teammate for this Sunday remained in the ring, Kane picking up a microphone and yelling that he wanted his brother, the Undertaker tonight!
We go to the backstage area as the "Black Hart" was shown standing by with Kevin Kelly, Kelly asking what everybody had been wanting to ask the WWF European Champion in the past twenty four hours, why he turned on Davey Boy Smith a second time last night on Sunday Night HeAT. Owen simply laughed, telling Kelly that he never knows what to expect. Owen tells Kelly that he can either explain here, or he can wait like every other brown nosing fan out there until he goes out there to address the audience in a few minutes. Owen leaves, Kelly left baffled.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
Jeff Jarrett was shown pacing up and down the corridors, "Double J" having been without Debra for the last week, and Jarrett was on edge about getting her back from the Ministry of Darkness.
We cut to the Reunion Arena as the crowd booed loudly, the "Black Hart" Owen making his way out to the hostile audience, the WWF European Champion stepping into the ring and picking up a microphone. Owen laughed, telling everybody that they never saw it coming. For the fans that have kissed his ass ever since his beloved brother left last year, they only did it because Owen was the only damn Hart in this company that stood a chance at getting back the WWF Championship from that 'evil' McMahon empire! Owen tells the fans that he doesn't give a damn whether it was Mr McMahon who turned his back on brother Bret, or how many people were pissed off with McMahon after that match twelve months ago. It's a done deal! But what isn't done is Owen's association with the Hart Family. It's finished! Owen tells Davey Boy Smith that he decided what was best, and that was what made him happy. Owen says that he doesn't need family holding him back now. He does what he wants. He travels where he pleases! To Owen, Davey no longer means a thing! Owen tells his opponent tonight, X-Pac to get out here already.
2) Owen Hart def. X-Pac - The "Black Hart" showed a lot more of a different attitude in this match, especially compared to what we've seen from him in the past twelve months. X-Pac went into this one as perhaps the final D-Generation X member to compete before the Survivor Series, and perhaps the final appearance of DX this Sunday when DX fight the Nation. Owen was taken down by X-Pac various times, X-Pac trying to prove himself as a threat to Owen's WWF European Championship perhaps. Owen soon fired back, a sly enziguiri and a cocky grin causing Owen to get more boos. The "Black Hart" kicked X-Pac in the spine and mocked the crotch chop, and it was D-Generation X who screwed his now nameless brother twelve months ago. The "Black Hart" set up the dangerous tombstone piledriver that injured Val Venis several weeks ago, but X-Pac slipped out and tried the X-Factor, just for Owen to roll X-Pac up with the tights for the win! (5:34, **1/4)
Owen Hart celebrated his win as the crowd booed, X-Pac rolling out of the ring in outrage. The "Black Hart" taunted the Dallas fans with the WWF European Championship, talking about how there was no better, and suddenly Davey Boy Smith hit the ring, the "British Bulldog" jumping Owen, and the two brother in laws traded blows, rolling over until they were outside of the ring! Davey Boy Smith picked Owen up and attempted the Running Powerslam on the floor, just for Owen to slip out and run around ringside to safety. The crowd booed, but the British Bulldog had gotten his revenge tonight.
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
Mr McMahon was shown sat in Ken Shamrock's locker room, as the "World's Most Dangerous Man" was advised not to get anywhere near Mankind tonight. He told Shamrock that to torture this idiot, Mankind, he must torture himself. And that is by not laying a finger on his Survivor Series opponent tonight. Vince tells Shamrock that at the Survivor Series, he has great faith that Shamrock will bring the WWF Championship's prestige back to the Corporation, and there's no doubt about it. Shamrock tells McMahon that he appreciates the help, but it is Shamrock that will be snapping Mankind's ankle this Sunday. And as far as Mankind goes tonight, he may not go near him...maybe.
Jeff Jarrett's theme hit, and out paced "Double J" himself, out of wrestling attire, as Jarrett wore jeans and walked with a purpose. He wasn't wearing shades, and he meant business. Jarrett got on the microphone and told the fans that last Monday night, his girlfriend Debra was the victim of a kidnapping. It was a mugging to Jarrett, and he's so pissed off that the Undertaker kidnapped Debra from him! Jarrett demands the "Lord of Darkness" to look him in the eyes and tell him the location of his girlfriend.
3) Christian def. Jeff Jarrett by count-out - It was uncharacteristic for Christian to not be accompanied by his Brood companions, but it did make some sense, as the Brood will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships later on tonight against Nation members, Mark Henry and The Godfather. Christian was worked over by Jarrett, and "Double J" was not dressed to compete, stomping away at Christian and constantly yelling at Paul Bearer at ringside for the location of his girlfriend, Debra. Jarrett worked the knee, and wanted this match over and done with as soon as possible. Christian soon fought back, a diving crossbody almost getting a quick win against Jarrett. Christian soon tried the Unprettier but Jarrett planted Christian with the Stroke, when the lights went out! The Undertaker's symbol appeared hovering over the TitanTron from the rafters, and Debra was crucified upon it! Jarrett freaked and ran for Debra, Christian getting the win! (3:30, **)
Christian celebrated his win as Paul Bearer grabbed a microphone, the lights dimming, and Bearer laughed in his high-pitched voice. Jarrett tried to get Debra from the Undertaker's floating symbol as Debra screamed in the crucified position, Bearer telling Jarrett that Debra symbolizes the hypocrisy of the Corporation! Bearer tells "Double J" that to get her back, he will have to get down on his knees and beg for mercy, the mercy he will then not receive this Sunday when the Ministry annihilate the Corporation! Jarrett yells at Bearer before getting on his knees, praying for Debra to levitate to the rampway. Bearer laughs however, as Debra and the symbol starts rising higher and higher! Bearer tells Jarrett that she'll be in the rafters waiting for him...if the Acolytes aren't there of course! Jarrett runs for the back, Paul playing mind games tonight!
Jeff Jarrett was shown up in the rafters, as "Double J" paced for Debra, finally getting up the last steps and rushing into a hug with the terrified Debra on her hands and knees! Suddenly, the Acolytes jumped Jarrett, Debra screaming as Bradshaw gave Jarrett the Clothesline From Hell! The Acolytes glared a hole in Debra before leaving.
Triple H was shown walking through the corridor, as X-Pac confronted him with a serious look on his face, Triple H trying to get a laugh out of his best friend. Hunter then asked what was wrong, as X-Pac mentions to Hunter that he wasn't there last night on Sunday Night HeAT. X-Pac told Triple H that they cannot be doing with this with their faction at risk this Sunday. Triple H told X-Pac to keep faith in him. Know why? Because Hunter will not let those killjoys kill their fun! The Nation has never EVER reached the cool that DX has reached in a single WEEK. And if Triple H has to really make it up to X-Pac, he damn will do tonight.
The crowd cheers loudly as the gong of the Undertaker was heard, druids walking out with someone under a veil chained to them, a table of sorts positioned on the rampway. The "Lord of Darkness" finally came out on his own, Undertaker nodding for the druids to place the man on the table. The "Lord of Darkness" mentions that Survivor Series will be the beginning of the end for Vince McMahon's precious Corporation. He finds it cute how Vince denies the Ministry's fear. It makes him...feisty. His Corporation meanwhile are terrified of him. And on Sunday night, we will all see who has the control over the World Wrestling Federation. The "Deadman" then mentions his brother Kane. People say that he's stronger than the "Phenom". But the "Big Red Machine" deep down is a broken down form of what he once was. The "Deadman" talks about this man under the veil as being a man he has encountered before. He had a certain royalty about him. But what we're all about to find out is that this man has gone under a massive makeover courtesy of the Ministry. He unveils the man to be the 500 pound Mabel, the man that Undertaker sealed in a casket in 1995! Mabel looked terrified, dressed in a bodysuit, and Undertaker started talking in Latvian. The druids held Mabel down, as the "Deadman" told the fans that this was the official initiation of the Ministry members. Undertaker pulled out a blade and cut his wrist, blood spilling out. 'Taker then placed it in the shape of the Undertaker's symbol right on Mabel's forehead. He laughed and talked more Latvian before finally revealing that this man was the gargantuan embalmer of the Ministry. His name? Viscera!
The crowd were in awe as Viscera remained on the table in a blank state. Suddenly, the theme of the "Big Red Machine" hit, and Undertaker's little brother Kane walked out to the rampway, Kane and the Undertaker trading blows, head to head on the rampway! Kane kicked the "Deadman" downstairs, and Kane set up the Chokeslam off the stage on his own brother! But suddenly, Viscera transformed and Viscera attacked Kane! Viscera gave Kane a clothesline sending Kane rolling down the rampway, as Undertaker recovered and told Viscera to get Kane.
4) Kane def. Viscera by disqualification - This was an impromptu match as the Undertaker summoned a referee, the "Big Red Machine" this Sunday teaming with the reluctant Corporation to take on the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness, the Ministry now complete with the newly regenerated Viscera. Viscera showed himself to be as powerful as Kane, several heavy clotheslines, lefts and rights exchanged. Viscera gave Kane a scoop slam before dropping all 500 pounds over the chest of Kane with a big legdrop! Kane tried to fight back, but Viscera dove off the ropes and came back with a very agile spinning heel kick! Viscera continued to pound on Kane as the "Big Red Machine" suddenly went for the Chokeslam on Viscera, but the 500 pounder managed to lock in a choke hold, the official calling for the bell after a five count! (3:36, *3/4)
Kane celebrated his win before the Acolytes suddenly hit the ring! Kane tried to fight the Acolytes, but the "Big Red Machine" couldn't handle it! Bradshaw gave Kane the Clothesline From Hell before Viscera got up and laid Kane out with a big splash! Viscera and the Acolytes stood in dominance as the Undertaker laughed over the microphone, where are the Corporation!?
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
Mr McMahon was shown in his office, the Chairman seemingly quite confident as Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco were at his sides, Vince being asked by his Stooges if he was intimidated in any way by the Ministry of Darkness. McMahon chuckled, telling Patterson that the Corporation and Kane will dominate them easily! They have Kane as their leash. He's confident that if they let the "Big Red Machine" do all the work, the Ministry will be done just like that. Suddenly, the entire of his Corporation appeared, Jeff Jarrett and Debra freaked out after what they'd been through this past week! Jarrett told McMahon that he better have a game plan, because if there's not, he's not showing up on Sunday! McMahon told the cameraman to turn the camera off, as he seemed to be setting up a game plan with his Corporation for Sunday.
5) Mankind def. Prince Albert (w/Darren Drozdov & Tori) - The WWF Champion was ready for a fight before stepping in the ring with Ken Shamrock this Sunday night, as Mankind did battle with Prince Albert. Albert was larger than Mankind, and seemingly powered over the WWF Champion with ease. But the tenacity on the deranged one enabled Mankind to keep in the game, against all odds as Mankind took out Darren Drozdov and ignored Tori's interference, as Albert tried to keep fighting back just for Mankind to take him down once again. Mankind then decided to pull out Mr Socko, and within seconds, the Mandible Claw was applied! But Albert reversed it, morphing it into a Torture Rack position, attempting the slam part of the move, but Mr Socko was still in the jaw of Albert! Albert dropped to his knees, and Albert soon fell to the canvas, Mankind with the win! (4:45, **1/4)
Mankind celebrated his win as the crowd cheered, the WWF Champion's attention suddenly brought to the TitanTron, as Ken Shamrock was out in the parking lot. The "World's Most Dangerous Man" asked Mankind how he was doing, before asking if he was a person that will sacrifice truly everything? Shamrock asks Mankind what he'd say if he did something like vandalize his beloved car of trash! Shamrock had a steel pipe in hand, and the number one contender started dinting, smashing and destroying the Beatle of Mankind's! Mankind looked on with an annoyed look on his face, and Mankind left the ring, climbing through the crowd and he started heading for Shamrock!
Out in the parking lot, Mankind was making his way out there when suddenly Ken Shamrock came out of the shadows, the "World's Most Dangerous Man" slamming the WWF Champion in the skull with the steel pipe! Shamrock yelled at Mankind, asking what sort of man he truly was, before applying the Ankle Lock! Mankind rived in pain as Shamrock refused to let go!
== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler discussed the card for the Survivor Series this Sunday night on pay-per-view, noting the card as being: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Mike Awesome in a Street Fight for Austin's contract with the WWF; Kane and the Corporate team of Jeff Jarrett, Big Bossman, Steven Regal and Test vs The Ministry's Undertaker, Gangrel, the Acolytes and Viscera; D-Generation X vs The Nation to determine which faction must disband; just announced, Owen Hart vs Davey Boy Smith for the WWF European Championship; Abismo Negro vs TAKA Michinoku for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship; Sable vs Jacqueline in a Final Encounter match for the WWF Womens Championship; And of course, Mankind vs Ken Shamrock for the WWF Championship!
6) Mark Henry & The Godfather def. The Brood by disqualification; the Brood retains the WWF Tag Team Championships - The Brood have had problems as of late with Rob Van Dam and Sabu, but tonight it was all about the Brood retaining the WWF Tag Team Championships from the men that they defeated for the titles last month on RAW, Mark Henry and the Godfather. The Nation's final RAW match potentially, if they were to lose this Sunday at the Survivor Series to D-Generation X. Gangrel managed to fend off the Godfather, as Godfather tried to keep on top of the vampire, Gangrel continuing to pound away at Godfather, big gutbuster and him and Edge worked right over Godfather. The fans cheered the Brood on in this, as suddenly Godfather tagged in "Sexual Chocolate", Mark Henry working over Edge. Mark Henry gave Edge the Big Splash when suddenly Triple H headed for the ring, Hunter with a sledgehammer in hand, attacking the Nation! (4:14, **)
Triple H planted the sledgehammer into the skull of the Godfather before giving Mark Henry the Pedigree, Hunter then becoming a victim of Rikishi Phatu, who blindsighted him! No other D-Generation X member was found, that is until the New Age Outlaws and Chyna rushed to the ring, the fans roaring as Billy Gunn and Road Dogg defended Triple H, a four on three war, and this Sunday, it'll be five on the five, the losing five disbanding forever!
Stone Cold Steve Austin was shown making his way to the Reunion Arena, and the "Texas Rattlesnake" is here!
=== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===
We see a training video for Sable, showing her strong style workout for this Sunday at the Survivor Series, as Sunday is her last chance to face Jacqueline for the WWF Womens Championship!
The Rock and D-Lo Brown was shown backstage, as Michael Cole asked them why they did not make the save for the Godfather, Rikishi Phatu and Mark Henry moments ago. Rock tells Cole to shut his mouth and know his role, because what they did was intensify their teammates for Sunday night. They wanted them to fight there without a leader, and this Sunday, they will know what to expect, and boom! Just like that, Triple H will wind up with a bunch of black monkeys up his ass! D-Lo Brown told Michael that they really need to strengthen up, because there is no chance in hell of them banding together had Rock gone out there. J.R. claims that this makes no sense, calling Rock a coward, as Cole sends us back to the ring.
Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme hit, and the fans screamed as the "Texas Rattlesnake" made his way to the ring, but decided to head to the announce table, joining Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler on commentary for our main event! 7) Mike Awesome def. The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) - An unstable main event, as these two were so harsh in the ring, Mike Awesome showing how he could face up to the "Lord of Darkness", but the "Deadman" proved to the "Gladiator" that he was not a walk in the park to defeat! Awesome worked over Undertaker's shoulder, as 'Taker continued to fight back, 'Taker soon sending Awesome out of the ring! Undertaker continued to beat up on Awesome at ringside, as the "Phenom" refused to allow Awesome any oxygen! 'Taker stalked Awesome around ringside as 'Taker glared at the Commissioner, before Awesome blindsighted 'Taker! Awesome gave 'Taker the Awesome Bomb right through the announce table, and Stone Cold Steve Austin stood up, getting right in Awesome's face! 'Taker then took Awesome into the ring and gained control, the Chokeslam connecting! 'Taker covered, but Awesome found the might to kick out! Awesome kept in there as 'Taker was shocked, a cut above his eyebrow forming. Awesome was worked over more, as the "Deadman" nailed Old School on Awesome! Undertaker then set up the Tombstone Piledriver, but Mr McMahon came to ringside, a massive smile on the Chairman's face! 'Taker glared at him before Awesome flipped it over and gave 'Taker the Awesome Bomb! Mike got the cover, and the "Gladiator" has pinned the "Lord of Darkness"! (9:13, **3/4)
Mike Awesome celebrated his win as Mr McMahon began to leave, but Stone Cold Steve Austin suddenly got in the ring, the Stunner to the "Gladiator"! The "Texas Rattlesnake" climbed to the turnbuckle and got the fans' ovation, a Stevewiser in hand, and Austin was toasting himself, but so was Vince McMahon! Sunday night might be the last time we see Stone Cold Steve Austin in the World Wrestling Federation! RAW is WAR went off the air.

Pretty solid episode of Raw to take this into Survivos Series. Kane cut a good promo on Heat, showing that he's only teaming with the Corporation to get at Undertaker and wasn't joining their stable and he certainly showed it in the six-man tag. Of course Kane would pay for it later in the program. I expected a feud between Owen Hart and the British Bulldog, I just didn't expect Owen to suddenly turn heel like that. Wow, it seems you are going all in on the Undertaker's minstry, with Debra being crucified and Mabel being initiated into the group as Viscera. Not sure I liked you including it, when sitting through it in real life was a challenge, but whatever. Mankind got a nice win to give him some momentum, while Shamrock got one up on him with the post-match beatdown. So whoever loses the DX/Nation match has to disband forever? I'm guyessing DX wins, but with the tension between Triple H and X-Pac, I wouldn't be surprised if Triple H swereved his teammates and cost them the match. Wow, Mike Awesome beat Undertaker a week after he pinned Austin? You've definitely given him some real momentum going into his showdown with Ausitn, though I'm doubting Austin is jobbing in the match.
You've really done a good job building up Survivor Series and I'm really looking forward to seeing it posted soon.
