WWF RAW is WAR: Monday, Week 1, February 1998...Decent way to kick off WWF Monday Night RAW this week with Stone Cold Steve Austin ranting about wanting Owen Hart's WWF Championship shot at WrestleMania XIV. I see Austin beating Owen, really. Unsure about who is the heel in this storyline, is it Owen? If he loses I hope he sticks in the main event situation as I feel he'll be considered as f*cked if he drops back to the WWF European Championship area. Ken Shamrock beating Barry Windham is okay, gets Shamrock over, and Windham was never too much of a big wrestler by this time period. Legion of Doom beating Los Boricuas is fine, Los Boricuas are pretty much lost now that the faction wars of 1997 have passed over. Steve Blackman beating Flash Funk is fine, really used as a filler match really, however. The Rock beating Bob Holly is okay, lackluster of a main event for RAW in my mind, though. Maybe if Shamrock had attacked the Nation of Domination it would of been a nice closing of the first hour, though. Ah, competition for Kurrgan has arrived at last. Like I said in another post, The Jackyl is an awesome manager on the mic, he would do wonders with the Nation of Domination or D-Generation X. Hopefully Vader ends up moving up the card, however. A match with Jeff Jarrett and Mankind would be fun. Grand bout, Jarrett winning got him over big-time, looking forward to an anticipated match for No Way Out of Texas. Bradshaw beating Marc Mero is fine, just don't really like Mero jobbing so many times in my opinion. When Mero's in a storyline, he shouldn't be losing this frequently. Amazing main event though, Triple H and Shawn Michaels beating Steve Austin and Owen Hart was indeed suprising. Got to wonder if you're going to bring Mike Tyson in though. Good show overall, but RAW seemed lackluster in comparison to WarZone.

MONDAY NIGHT RAW #4! Terrific opening contest and the main event should be solid. A decent opening contest to give two stars time to shine. I like Double J being able to pick up a victory. I like Kurrgan, well really the Jackyl, issuing an opening contest. Bob Holly taking the job works out well. Kurrgan versus Vader should be a decent match and I hope Vader wins. Faarooq defeating Ken Shamrock via interference from Rocky was a good call. I hate how D.O.A are a bunch of jobbers, but they definitely are not as good as The New Age Outlaws. Steve Austin defeating Goldust was smart. Owen Hart versus Steve Austin for the title shot will be solid, if it happens. Bradshaw picking up a win was cool, but the match was filler. The Godwinns and Bradshaw…what a team. Main event was solid and I love the ending with the Undertaker.
MONDAY NIGHT RAW #5! Austin versus Owen at IYH will be great and the main event as well will be terrific. I like Shamrock rebounding from his los last week. LOD getting the win was good as it helps get them over. I like the Outlaws attacking LOD I like HBK telling HHH “You don’t wanna know.” Nice win for Blackman. Kane versus Undertaker on Raw should be solid. A decent win for Rocky but it was a little lackluster. I love that Vader won, even if it was by DQ. I hate that Double J defeated Mankind, that kind of stinks. The South = Epic Lame Name Bradshaw winning the match makes sense. The main event was amazing.

the following is a product of the world wrestling federation WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS: MONDAY NIGHT RAW #6! "A Broken Hart" - Monday, Week 2, February 1998 -
The following matches were taped for this week's edition of WWF Shotgun Saturday Night: TAKA Michinoku defeated Adam Copeland via Michinoku Driver in 3:45 (non-title) [D] The Headbangers [Mosh/Thrasher] defeated The Disciples of Apocalypse [Skull/8-Ball] via pinfall from Mosh to Skull in 7:44 [C]
MONDAY NIGHT RAW
Before we go to the RAW opening, we see highlights from last week's main event, where supposedly, Steve Austin, has joined Degeneration X after walking out on Owen Hart in their tag match against Shawn Michaels & Triple H. Will we find out what Austin's plans are? Then, the usual Raw opening airs and we are live in front of over 8,000 screaming fans on the USA/TSN networks! Jim Ross, Kevin Kelly, & Michael Cole welcome us to Monday Night Raw! Tonight, Triple H will be defending his European Championship, as ordered by Commissioner Slaughter, against Steve Blackman! Also, will we find out if Steve Austin is now apart of Degeneration X? Before Ross can continue, Degeneration X interrupts him and they make their way down to the ring. [B-]
Shawn Michaels starts going on about how Degeneration X has scored the best and brightest superstar in the WWF today, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Austin is now an official member of Degeneration X...unfortunately, he is not here yet! Not to worry, he will be here later tonight as he is in action. Michaels passes the microphone off to Triple H, who asks Slaughter if he knows what he is doing by putting him against 'Steve Blackwhocares?' Tonight, Triple H will proved Slaughter to be a fool and will prove why Degeneration X is the most powerful stable in wrestling today! Just then, Commissioner Slaughter appears on the titan tron. He told DX that he is full of surprises for them tonight and this surprise involves 'No Way Out Of Texas' and their match at the event. At No Way Out, if he wins tonight, Triple H will defend his European Championship against...SHAWN MICHAELS! Slaughter adds that if they pull a fast one on him again, they will both be stripped of their belts and suspended from the company! Triple H is fuming as Michaels just stares blankly at Slaughter.
We returned from commercial to see a video highlighting the match between Kurrgan & Vader from last week. It appears that they are in action right now against each other! [C]
Tag Team Match; Vader & Mankind vs. Jeff Jarrett & Kurrgan (w/The Jackyl) - Two current feuds going on between these four men respectively and at first, Jeff Jarrett was a little intimidated by Kurrgan. - Kurrgan did most of the work for the team and dominated Mankind for most the match. Once Vader entered the match, on the hot tag, he was on fire and he ran over both Jarrett & then Kurrgan. - Eventually, Vader dumped Kurrgan over the top rope and followed him to the outside. They traded blows and made their way up the ramp and out of sight. That left Mankind alone with Jarrett! - Mankind nailed Jarrett with a quick Double Arm DDT for the victory for his team here tonight. Mankind & Vader defeat Jeff Jarrett & Kurrgan via Double Arm DDT from Mankind to Jarrett in 8:48 [B+]
We then flash to Jim Ross, Kevin Kelly, & Michael Cole, who put over the fact that tonight, we will see both Owen Hart & Steve Austin in action! They have just received this information via Commissioner Slaughter, who seems to be on a roll tonight!
We went back to ringside where Kane & his manager Paul Bearer were making their way down to the ring. We went to break and came back with Paul Bearer cutting a promo on the Undertaker, saying his has to come down and face his brother, or he won't leave this ring. Then, music started to play, but it wasn't the Undertaker's! Terry Funk came down to answer the call. He grabbed the microphone from Bearer and that immediately set off Kane. Before he could say a word, Funk was caught with an uppercut. A referee comes running down and we have a match on our hands! [B+]
Singles Match; Kane (w/Paul Bearer) vs. Terry Funk - Funk was able to fight back with shots of his own and it appeared that Funk hasn't lost a step over the years. - The crowd really responded to Funker's appearance and it appeared that he is on his way to winning the match over the Undertaker's brother. - This was false though as Kane came back heavily and nailed a big uppercut followed by a flying clothesline. Kane then sized Funk up and nailed a big chokeslam for the victory! Kane defeats Terry Funk via Chokeslam in 6:48
We quickly cut backstage where Steve Austin has arrived in the building. He is receiving a mixed reaction from the crowd and he appears to be looking for someone. He is walking around backstage and Ross wonders who he is actually looking for as we go to a sponsor break!
We are back from break and Ken Shamrock is in the ring with microphone in hand. He told the crowd that Rocky Maivia has yet to answer his challenge for No Way Out of Texas, so tonight, he is going to destroy someone else. He wants an answer tonight from Rocky or he will start making it personal! [B-]
Singles Match; Al Snow vs. Ken Shamrock - Let's face it folks, Al Snow really had no shot in this match at all. - Shamrock really looked powerful and dominant in this match. He really wants that Intercontinental Championship and will stop at nothing to get his hands on Rocky Maivia. - Shamrock finished Snow off quickly with the Ankle Lock! Ken Shamrock defeats Al Snow via Ankle Lock in 2:43 [B-]
We go back down to Jim Ross, who announced that Commissioner Slaughter has announced two more matches for No Way Out of Texas! In addition to Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, we will see Kurrgan facing off with Vader in a no disqualification match and Mankind battling it out with Jeff Jarrett! This is shaping up to be quite a pay-per-view! We then see a graphic promoting the European Championship match between Triple H & Steve Blackman...its NEXT! [B-]
WWF European Championship - Singles Match; Triple H (c) (w/Chyna) vs. Steve Blackman - Ross put over the fact that this is the main event of Monday Night Raw and it should be good! - Blackman really looked determined in the match and he was able to get the crowd behind him since everyone dislikes Degeneration X. - Chyna tried to get involved in the match a few times, but every time it backfired on her and Triple H. - Inevitably though, Triple H caught Blackman off guard for a split second and delivered a strong pedigree for the victory. Solid action! Triple H defeats Steve Blackman via Pedigree in 5:45 to retain the European Championship
THE WAR ZONE
Jim Ross, now accompanied by Jerry Lawler on commentary, put over the fact that Owen Hart will be making an appearance in the War Zone, but Steve Austin will kick off the War Zone here tonight
Before we get any match, we are shown a video featuring Ahmed Johnson working out at a gym. This time, he is joined by Flash Funk. Johnson was showing off his work-out routine to Funk and Funk seems to be amazed. The crowd...was not! [C-]
Singles Match; Steve Austin vs. Savio Vega (w/Los Boricuas) - Austin received a mixed reaction from the crowd in California and Vega gets no reaction. - Austin seemed pretty serious here tonight and didn't waste time once the bell rung. - Vega tried to get some offense in but he fell quickly to Austin's quick Stunner. Pretty simple match here. Steve Austin defeats Savio Vega via Stunner in 4:28
We returned to Raw backstage in the Nation of Domination locker room. Rocky Maivia, with the Intercontinental Championship slung over his shoulder and the full Nation behind him, tells the crowd that he is tired of Ken Shamrock calling him a coward, even after he defeated him at the Royal Rumble. He is going to shut up Shamrock finally at No Way Out, as he is going to put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against Shamrock. Rocky promises victory at No Way Out!
Tag Team Match: The Godwinns [Henry O./Phinias I.] (w/Bradshaw) vs. Bob Holly & Bart Gunn - The South is back in action tonight against the two apparent jobbers of Raw, Bob Holly & Bart Gunn. - Bradshaw was yelling throughout the match and it was actually hard to hear the announcers at home. - The Godwinns were able to finish off this random duo following a Slop Drop on Gunn. The Godwinns defeat Bart Gunn/Bob Holly via Slop Drop on Gunn in 4:33 [C-]
Following the bout, Bradshaw raised the hands of the Godwinns as they posed in the ring. Then, we hear a voice coming from the ramp way. Jim Cornette is making his way down to the ring and he keeps saying how dominant the South seems to be. He gets to the ring and he offers his managerial services to the South. With him by their side, nobody will be able to stop them! Bradshaw shakes Cornette's hand and this signifies that Cornette will now be managing the South! [C+]
A video featuring the beatdown that the New Age Outlaws put on the Legion of Doom was shown from last week. After the video, Roaddog was in the ring getting ready for some action here tonight in the War Zone! [C+]
Singles Match; Roaddog (w/Billy Gunn) vs. Chainz (w/Skull & 8-Ball) - In the way of Jesse James tonight is Chainz from the Disciples of Apocalypse. Chainz doesn't look too happy. - Chainz started the match dominating Roaddog, but James came back with a vengeance. - James went to hit a pumphandle slam, but out of nowhere, the Road Warriors came down to the ring. Animal took out Billy Gunn and this distracted Roaddog. Chainz then locked him in a Powerbomb and stole the victory from the Outlaws! Chainz defeats Roaddog via Powerbomb in 6:38 [C+]
We are now backstage where Shawn Michaels is standing by. He tells the crowd that he has just met with the newest member of Degeneration X, Steve Austin, and he tells Owen Hart that he has no shot two weeks from now at No Way Out of Texas! Degeneration X is now the most unstoppable force and will always be the most unstoppable force in wrestling today! Then, Jim Ross acknowledges that Owen Hart is in action in the War Zone main event...NEXT!
Main Event - Singles Match; Owen Hart vs. Faarooq (w/Nation of Domination) - Owen Hart has some big muscle to deal with tonight as he faces off with the former leader of the Nation, Faarooq. - The crowd was fully behind Owen, who seemed to be on fire in the match, but Faarooq quickly put him down hard. - Faarooq went for the Dominator, but Owen squeaked out of it and eventually got Faarooq down on the mat. - To end the match, Owen locked in the Sharpshooter and Faarooq had no choice to submit! Owen gets the victory in the main event! Owen Hart defeats Faarooq via Sharpshooter in 10:39 [B+]
After the bell sounded, Owen celebrated in the ring and kept shouting at the entrance way, saying that Degeneration X cannot stop the last remaining Hart in the WWF! Owen will be taking the championship at Wrestlemania XIV! The War Zone ends with Owen shouting and celebrating with fans! [B+]

The opening segment was great and I love how Slaughter is so hard on DX. Vader & Mankind vs. Jeff Jarrett & Kurrgan is a solid opening contest and I a great want to kill two birds with one stone. I love the fact that Vader and Mankind were able to pull through for the victory. I love Terry Funk appearing instead of the Undertaker, I love little twists like that. I am surprised to see Terry Funk lasted almost seven minutes against Kane. I like Ken Shamrock wanting Rocky to answer his challenge for No Way Out of Texas and taking his aggression out on Al Snow. I am pleased to see Triple H defeat Steve Blackman to retain his European Championship. I love Steve Austin destroying Savio Vega. I am happy to see Rocky accept Ken Shamrock challenge for the strap at No Way Out of Texas. I appreciate the push of The South, but I do not see much of a point of doing so. Bob Holly has proven that he is WWF’s greatest jobber and that makes me happy. Jim Cornette joining The South has instantly made them the great stable ever. I was shocked that Chainz defeated Roaddog; however, I LOVE IT! Long live D.O.A! I like Steve Austin joining DX, but I feel that is going to lead to a major feud between Austin and DX. I love seeing Owen Hart in the main event, but I wish Faarooq was not his opponent. Owen Hart winning was good and made sense.

Austin in DX is interesting, though I dont see him as a legit member for long. Good way to build the Owen/HBK feud though. I like Cornette with the South too. NWO has some interesting matches.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday, Week 2, February, 1998…Decent way to kick off WWF Monday Night RAW with D-Generation X in the ring, by the way before I forget, might wanna alter the title to show that RAW #6 is posted. I’m just not too sure about Stone Cold Steve Austin in the main event, personally. Hopefully Triple H wins but won’t face Shawn Michaels at No Way Out of Texas for the WWF European Championship. That’d be a lacklustre match in my opinion. Solid way to kick off RAW in the ring, with Vader and Mankind returning as a team, beating Jeff Jarrett and Kurrgan. Surprisingly high grading for this match, too. Wow, Terry Funk coming out to face Kane was nice, liked Terry Funk getting out there just too really get his ass pounded in by the ‘Big Red Machine’. It furthers his domination. Al Snow wasn’t really a member of the WWF roster by this point, he was in ECW, as there he was developing the ‘Head’ maniacal freak gimmick. In WWF he was known as ‘Leif Cassidy’. Nice squash for Ken Shamrock to gain domination in however, gets him ready for his but with The Rock. Triple H was obviously going to win the match with Steve Blackman, like I said, I hope we don’t see Triple H and Shawn Michaels fight at No Way Out of Texas for an under card title. Savio Vega being murdered by Steve Austin was foreseeable. One too many squashes here on WarZone AND RAW in my opinion. The Godwinns getting a push is okay I suppose, just don’t give them the WWF Tag Team Championships again. Also, please change their name to ‘Southern Justice’ too, Henry and Phineous were not over with this countrymen gimmick. Jim Cornette is leading a strong alliance, though. Chainz beating Road Dogg I am unsure about. Hate the spelling ‘Roaddog’ by the way. I guess the Disciples of the Apocalypse push is on the way, then. Glad to see other superstars getting a chance to get a push, hopefully TAKA Michinoku is among them! Haha. Slightly lacklustre main event win for Owen Hart over Faarooq, really not worthy as a WarZone main event in my mind. Good show overall, quite a bit lacking though, in terms of appealing matches.

World Wrestling Federation Newswire... Written By: Johnathon Stone
Rumblings around the WWF Locker Room...
- World Wrestling Federation has officially announced that they will be airing a brand new show, that will be taped on the same day Raw airs and will be shown on Thursday @ 9 on the Sports Network. Rumor has it that the show will be titled "WWF: Wrestling Showcase" and will be used as a B show for the WWF. We should be getting more updates on the next episode of Raw!
- WWF are pleased to announce that they've signed Dave Finlay, former WCW property who has been recently released from the company.
- From the looks of it, Steve Austin will be officially announced as a Degeneration X member this week on RAW. It's baffling to see the major face star make a sudden heel turn.
- The South looks to be gaining some steam backstage and could be headed towards a major push following Wrestlemania XIV!

- I like the opening segment and the whole thing with DX and Slaughter, espcially how Slaughter said if HBK and HHH pulled a fast one again in the title match that they would be suspended and stripped of their belts. - Kurrgan dominating most of the match, and then Jarrett getting pinned was cool. Also, I liked how Jarrett was intimidated by Kurrgan, even though they were parters. - Terry Funk coming out instead of 'Taker was weird, but cool. I could actually see Funk doing something like that, since he's all crazy and shit. - Shamrock pretty much destroying Snow is awesome. - Good that Triple H retained, espically since I can't see Blackman holding really any title ever, other than the Hardcore belt, but this is before that time, so no titles for Blackman. Wooo!!! - Rocky getting fed up and actually agreeing to put the title on the line against Shamrock is cool. I'm hoping Shamrock wins the belt. - Austin winning a quick match with Savio is fine. - Cornette managing the South should be great. - I liked the DOA, so I'm glad to see Chainz get the win. - Owen winning was good, and it made since. I like that he won with the Sharpshooter as well. - I'm not so sure on the whole Austin in DX thing. Maybe just cause it seems so unlikely, I don't know. I can see it leading to a big Austin Vs. Michaels fued though, so it's all good.

the following is a product of the world wrestling federation WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS: MONDAY NIGHT RAW #7! "A New Addition?" - Monday, Week 3, February 1998 -
The following matches were taped for this week's edition of WWF Shotgun Saturday Night: Billy Gunn defeated Mark Henry via handful of tights in 3:39 [C] The Headbangers [Mosh/Thrasher] defeated Bob Holly/Bart Gunn via pinfall in 6:51 [C] Mankind defeated Savio Vega via Mandible Claw in 3:01 [B+]
MONDAY NIGHT RAW
The usual Raw opening package airs and we are live in front of 8,000+ screaming fans, who are ready for some action on Monday Night Raw! Jim Ross, who is joined by just Michael Cole this week, announces that tonight's Raw should be a night to remember, because we have a huge 6-man tag match in the main event, which features Owen Hart teaming with the Legion of Doom to face off against Steve Austin & the New Age Outlaws! But that is certainly not all as we have TWO JAMMED PACKED HOURS FOR YOU TONIGHT! What will happen right before No Way Out of Texas?
Ross is interrupted by the familiar music of The Jackyl & his client...Kurrgan. Kurrgan will have a test this sunday as he must go toe-to-toe with Vader, the man who eliminated him from the Royal Rumble last month. The Jackyl grabbed a microphone and introduced his client and told the fans that this is the man who will defeat the 'Man They Call' Vader this Sunday on pay-per-view. Jackyl then address that tonight, Kurrgan has some other plans. He wants a warm-up match and he wants it against anyone in the back. For the second week in a row, Terry Funk appears to accept the challenge of a big man, this time its Kurrgan. Funk must really be off his rocker. [E]
Singles Match: Terry Funk vs. Kurrgan (w/The Jackyl) - The crowd was surprised to see Funk accept another challenge for the second week in a row and they were fully behind him. - Kurrgan was just too much for the old school Funker. This monster was able to dominant pretty much the entire match, giving Funk no time for offense. - Kurrgan finished off Funk quickly with the Claw and a pinfall. Kurrgan defeats Terry Funk via The Claw in 3:40 [C+]
Kurrgan & The Jackyl began to celebrate in the ring, before Vader's music started to play. Vader walked down to the ring and got right in Kurrgan's face. These two giants stood each other down and the Jackyl finally convinced his client to walk away and to save it for Sunday. The Jackyl told Vader that in 6 days, his career would be over. Vader posed for the crowd as Kurrgan walked away. [C]
A video was shown to hype the WWF Light Heavyweight Champion, TAKA Michinoku, who is going to be in action next! [F]
Singles Match (Non-Title): TAKA Michinoku vs. Flash Funk - Some Light Heavyweight action as we came back to Raw between Funk & TAKA. The crowd didn't really seem to care much about the match. - Funk looked very good in the ring and was on his game tonight as he wants to hold some gold. TAKA seemed a bit off tonight and the crowd noticed this. - Flash Funk was able to get the victory following a 450 Splash, which the crowd loved seeing. Flash Funk defeats TAKA Michinoku via 450 Splash in 7:02 [D]
We then were joined by the newest stable in the WWF, 'The South', which was led by Jim Cornette now. Cornette put over the fact that the fans were looking at the greatest, young stable in the WWF today and nothing or nobody will be able to stop them on their way to WWF gold! Cornette put over the fact that we will be seeing Bradshaw in action against Steve Blackman when we return! [C+]
Singles Match: Bradshaw (w/The South) vs. Steve Blackman - Blackman, who is coming off a loss to Triple H last week, got the crowd behind him to start the match and he was able to catch Bradshaw with those brutal martial arts skills. - Bradshaw came out strong in this match though and these did wrestle a pretty decent match, as the crowd responded well to it. - The ending saw Blackman go for a Thrust Kick, but miss, and Bradshaw catch him with a Big Lariat for the victory. Bradshaw defeats Steve Blackman via Lariat in 8:02 [C+]
Following the bout, Bradshaw didn't stop beating on Blackman and now the Godwinns have joined in on the punishment. Cornette was screaming at Blackman as these three wolves stomped him into the match. The crowd booed as The South posed in the middle of the ring over Steve Blackman's body. [C-]
We took a quick commercial break and when we returned, 'The World's Most Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock was making his way down to the ring. He told the crowd that he was happy to hear that the Rocky accepted his challenge for Sunday and he needs a warm up match. He challenged two members of the Nation to come face him right now in a handicap match! If Shamrock wins, the NOD is banned from ringside at No Way Out. The Nation make their way down to the ring and they agree to these terms. D'Lo Brown & Kama Mustafa make their way to the ring and we have ourselves a handicap match for the Raw main event! [C]
Handicap Match: Ken Shamrock vs. D'Lo Brown & Kama Mustafa - Shamrock seemed ready for both competitors and once they hit the ring, Shamrock didn't leave anything back. He came at them with everything and he was able to take the match advantage. - Things didn't go smoothly the whole match though, Kama & D'Lo were able to battle back and beat Ken down pretty badly. - Kama was sizing Shamrock up for a big powerslam, when he reversed it and gave him a huge German Suplex. Kama fell out of the ring. - This was a big opening for Shamrock, as he was able to lock the Ankle Lock on D'Lo and he had no choice but to submit! Shamrock got his wish and Rocky is fuming! Ken Shamrock defeats D'Lo Brown & Kama Mustafa via Ankle Lock on Brown in 6:41 [C]
THE WAR ZONE
We returned for the War Zone, live in Indiana, and Jim Ross, who was now joined by Jerry Lawler, put over the fact that Commission Slaughter has just announced that The Legion of Doom will get their hands on the Outlaws again at Wrestlemania XIV, in a no disqualification match, for the WWF Tag Team Championships! Also tonight, in the War Zone, the Undertaker will be in action against Marc Mero! Will Kane show up and ruin the Undertaker's party?
Shawn Michaels, Triple H, & Chyna, Degeneration X, strutted down to the ring as we are now in the War Zone! Michaels told the crowd that tonight's main event should be one for the ages and we will finally see the true side of Steve Austin! Austin would've came out with Degeneration X, but he is too busy getting ready for his match, and DX doesn't mind. Triple H then address the No Way Out European Championship, where he has to face Shawn Michaels. Triple H turned to Michaels and told him that he does like his job, so why don't they put on one for the ages. Michaels said that's fine, he has no problem walking into Wrestlemania XIV with two belts around his waist. Triple H took offense to this, but Michaels told him he was just kidding and DX walked out. We get set for some action next!
Tag Team Match: Los Boricuas [Savio Vega/Miguel Perez Jr.] vs. The Disciples of Apocalypse [Skull/8-Ball] (w/Chainz) - Some solid tag action to open up the War Zone and the Disciples were still hot coming off the big singles win by Chainz last week. - Los Boricuas couldn't get heat at all and the crowd just doesn't care about them. The match was basically dominated by the DOA. - Skull was able to get the victory for DOA following a BIG Powerslam on Savio Vega and then the pinfall. Disciples of Apocalypse defeat Los Boricuas via Powerslam by Skull to Vega in 8:51 [C]
Another one of those hype videos for Ahmed Johnson was shown. It showed him working out in a gym and how he should be back in a few weeks to show the world what he is made of. Johnson looks even bigger than he did and the crowd seemed to respond. [C+]
Singles Match: Marc Mero vs. The Undertaker - It was time for some Deadman action and his victim tonight is Marc Mero, who came down without Sable yet again. - 'Taker gave him no room for offense and he seemed extremely pissed off here tonight. Undertaker didn't play the crowd either, just went out there and destroyed Mero. - The ending saw 'Taker nail a HUGE Tombstone and the easy three count. Crowd loved this one. The Undertaker defeats Marc Mero via Tombstone in 4:52
The Undertaker was able to walk out of the ring when the lights went down and turn to red. Paul Bearer & Kane stepped out on the entrance way and Undertaker just stared at them. Bearer wanted to know why the Undertaker is so afraid of his little brother. Taker didn't give any response and Bearer told 'Taker that maybe he would finally get over his fear and face off with Kane on the grandest stage of them all....WRESTLEMANIA XIV! The crowd cheered for this while the Undertaker grabbed a microphone. The Undertaker told Bearer that he doesn't fight family, but over the past few months, Kane has turned from family to enemy. The Undertaker will gladly accept this challenge for 'Mania, but it will be a special match. The Undertaker assures Kane to prepare well because he will experience an Undertaker like never before. [B+]
We go backstage where Steve Austin is standing by. He tells the whole world that next Monday night, on Raw, he will finally introduce himself as a member of Degeneration X, after he shows his true colors at No Way Out. Degeneration X asked him a favor and he shall deliver. After he beats Owen, he will hand over his title shot at Wrestlemania XIV, since being in Degeneration X is a much greater opportunity. The crowd boos heavily as Austin leaves for the ring....the main event is up next!
Main Event - 6 Man Tag Match: Owen Hart, Road Warrior Animal, & Road Warrior Hawk vs. Steve Austin, Roaddog, & Billy Gunn - This match was definitely explosive and lived up to the expectations everyone had for it. The crowd HEAVILY booed Austin when he made his entrance and he just gave them the finger. - Animal saw the ring the most in the match, due to the triple team the New Age Outlaws & Austin put on him. Once Hart got the hot tag though, all hell broke loose. - Owen started throwing Outlaws over the top rope and he finally stood face to face with Steve Austin. The two started to slug it out and their brawl continued on the outside. - Animal then dragged Billy Gunn into the ring, as hell was breaking loose, and gave him a big running powerslam for the victory! The LOD & Hart get the win here! Owen Hart, Animal & Hawk defeat Steve Austin, Billy Gunn, & Roaddog via Powerslam on Gunn from Animal in 12:24 [B+]
The bell had sounded, but that didn't stop the madness around the ring. Roaddog has now attacked Hawk with a chair and Owen & Austin are really going at in on the entrance way. What is going to happen next week following No Way Out of Texas?! [C+]

I would be lying if I didn’t confess that this is my favorite diary on the board, currently. I like The Jackyl and Kurrgan opening tonight’s program off with an open challenge that is accepted by Terry Funk. Obviously, Terry Funk losing in the short contest makes sense for the idea of a warm up match. I love Vader coming down and getting in Kurrgan’s face as the Jackyl tells him to save the fight for Sunday at No Way Out of Texas. I love the change of pace and the light-heavyweights taking the stage was smart booking. I was surprised to see Flash Funk go over the more talented Taka Michinoku. I love Jim Cornette cutting a quick promo hyping The South and Bradshaw’s match after the commercial break against the dangerous Steve Blackman. I am pleased to see Steve Blackman not job out completely, although expecting him to win would have made me an idiot. I love Bradshaw getting a push during his earlier years when he was more talented. I love The South performing a beat down after the match on Steve Blackman, it really helps get the stable over. I like the idea of Ken Shamrock challenging two members of the Nation of Domination to a handicap match, although the idea of calling it a warm up match was a bit of a stretch. Ken Shamrock winning was smart and believable especially since the match was not a squash. The DX segment was pretty good and it got them in some air time to promote the main event and their match this Sunday. I am more than thrilled to see the Disciples of Apocalypse pull through in their match and get the win over Los Boricuas. A decent match for the Undertaker to make him come off more dominate against poor Marc Mero. I am extremely pleased to see the Undertaker accept Kane’s challenge for Wrestlemania! I wonder what type of match it will be and I am sure it will be brutal. I loved the Steve Austin promo and the crowd booing him is great. Owen Hart and L.O.D winning was the right decision and I am very pleased that Austin did not take the pin.

NWO is shaping to be very interesting. Austin in DX is really a cool angle, and I see a swerve coming next week. I can see Austin beating Owen at NWO, and then saying the only reason he joined DX was to get a title shot and we'll see Austin v HBK at Mania. Wonder what will happen with Owen though. Im guessing Owen vs HHH. Interested to see how you play out HBK vs HHH at No Way Out too. Very good so far!

- Nice little "warm-up" match for Kurrgan. I love how Funk faced Kane on the last show, and gets Kurrgan this week. Jackyl pulling Kurrgan away was cool, and it was a good heel move, making the fans wait to see Vader get his hands on Kurrgan. - Flash getting the win was great. Hope to see him and TAKA have a series of matches for the belt. - Good way to have The South make an impact with the attack on Blackman after his match with Bradshaw. - Shamrock winning the Handicap match was a great way to give him even more momentum going in to No Way Out, and with the NOD banned from ringside at No Way Out now, I'm cerious to see how the match will go, although I can see Rocky somehow escaping with the win. - Another win for the DOA. Woooooo! - 'Taker beating Mero was obvious. Nice set-up for 'Taker Vs. Kane at 'Mania. I loved the "family into enemy" line. - Good segment with Austin. I think No Way Out could really go either way as far Austin Vs. Owen goes. - Makes sence to have the faces go over right before a PPV, good match, and Austin not being the one pinned was good.
I'm really looking forward to No Way Out. Should be a great show!

Really good work so far duaner, Austin in DX has to be one massive swerve especially after he didn't go in the ring with them. Nice build up with the Kane/Taker storyline. HHH vs. HBK is an interesting one, don't know how that's going to play out. Hoping Austin and Rocky win their matches at NWO.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday, Week 3, February, 1998...Hmm, Mankind on Shotgun Saturday Night? Please give him something good to do for WrestleMania XIV. Insane Tery Funk indeed, just don't like Funk being murdered by Kurrgan. Kurrgan's push is okay I suppose, hopefully Vader can put him in his place at No Way Out of Texas. Please put TAKA Michinoku up the card rather than feeding him to stars like Flash Funk. He is of course the WWF Light-Heavyweight Champion. Heel Funk and Michinoku for WrestleMania XIV would be a good one. Bradshaw beating Steve Blackman came as no suprise, good match actually. Push for Bradshaw is good. Haha, Ken Shamrock beating the Nation is okay, but slightly demotes D'Lo Brown and Kama Mustafa. Wish it had been a disqualification or something. Good main event to Monday Night RAW, however. Hmm, dissension in D-Generation X? Hmm. Interesting. Disciples of the Apocalypse beating Los Boricuas is fine, please end this random faction war. Worst thing to drop out of 1997. Poor Marc Mero, push him please. The Undertaker getting a win is okay though. Interesting build for Kane and Taker still. Great six-man tag team main event, and No Way Out of Texas is looking good. Good show overall.

the following is a product of the world wrestling federation World Wrestling Federation Presents: IN YOUR HOUSE: 'NO WAY OUT OF TEXAS' Sunday - Week 3 - February 1998 [/b] The following match was shown on WWF Free-For-All before the event started:Bradshaw (w/The South) defeated Mark Henry via Lariat in 5:36 [C-]In Your House: No Way Out of TexasWe come live with a 'Don't Try This At Home' ad and then a video highlighting what to expect tonight. The video ends with a staredown with Austin & Owen. We then go live into Houston, Texas,where almost 15,000 fans are standing by for 'In Your House: No Way Out of Texas'! Jim Ross & Jerry 'The King' Lawler welcome us to the event and tell the fans at home, incase they missed the announcement, that two more matches have been added to the pay-per-view, including a Light Heavyweight Championship match and some Tag Team Warfare! But, of course, that's not all! Owen Hart puts his Wrestlemania XIV World Championship title shot on the line against 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Triple H MUST defend his European Championship against fellow Degeneration X member Shawn Michaels, and MUCH MUCH MORE! We open up the show with some Tag Team Warfare ladies and gentleman!
Tag Team Warfare: The Disciples of Apocalypse [Skull/8-Ball] (w/Chainz) vs. The Headbangers [Mosh/Thrasher] vs. Los Boricuas [Miguel Perez Jr/Savio Vega] vs. The Godwinns [Phinias/Henry] (w/The South) - The crowd is pretty hot to open up the evening and you'd have to think that whoever wins this match will receive a future WWF Tag Team Championship shot. Hopefully, this also ends all this stable warfare! - Most of the match saw the big men, Skull, 8-Ball & The Godwinns, beating down on the two smaller teams in the match. The crowd wanted to see the DOA pull out another victory here. - That wasn't the case though, as after some moments of chaos, Phinias Godwinn was able to catch Thrasher with the Slop Drop and the South gets the win here. The Godwinns defeat The Disciples of Apocalypse, The Headbangers, & Los Boricuas via Slop Drop from Phinias to Thrasher om 14:45 [C]
Following the bout, Jim Cornette & Bradshaw joined the Godwinns in the ring to celebrate their big victory. Cornette put over the factor that this is now the Godwinns time to shine in the tag team division and how the South is the most dominate stable in all of professional wrestling! [C+]
Some highlights of the Flash Funk/TAKA Michinoku match from this past week on Monday Night Raw were shown. Ross & Lawler put over the fact that their match was up next! [F]
WWF Light Heavyweight Championship - Singles Match: TAKA Michinoku (c) vs. Flash Funk - Funk is coming in with more momentum than TAKA, as he was the one who defeated him this past week on RAW! The crowd seemed pretty dead for the match though. - These two did put on a pretty entertaining match, but the crowd doesn't seem to like the Light Heavyweights too much. This match seemed to be the bore of the night to most. - TAKA was able to gain some revenge on Funk following a Michinoku Driver in a match that was filled with action, but the crowd disliked it. TAKA Michinoku defeats Flash Funk via Michinoku Driver in 12:20 to retain the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship [D]
When we return from a quick advertisement for Wrestlemania XIV, with Paul Bearer and Kane coming down to the ring. Bearer has a microphone in hand and he tells the fans that whatever stipulation the Undertaker has lined up, its not going to matter since it will be finally time for Kane to get his hands on his older brother. Bearer goes on about how the Undertaker abandon his ONLY LITTLE BROTHER and now he wants some revenge. We see something on the titan tron that catches our attention and its the Undertaker. It appears that he is in a corridor and he tells Bearer & Kane that he has had enough and he wants some of Kane RIGHT NOW! Kane starts to leave the ring and walk to the back, leaving Bearer in the dust. After sometime following this monster, we get up to where the Undertaker was in the building and he is nowhere in sight. Then, out of nowhere, The Undertaker comes at Kane with a lead pipe. He takes his little brother down and then proceeds to throw him into the wall a few times before leaving Kane down. 'Taker then mumbles something that we cannot understand and walks away. A few moments later, Kane sits up and boy, he is angry! [B+]
Ross tells us that we are going to see another video hyping up the return of Ahmed Johnson. Turns out that Ahmed Johnson will be back in action tomorrow night on Raw! Don't miss this! [C+]
Singles Match: Jeff Jarrett vs. Mankind - These two definitely have a score to settle with each-other, as this is the rubber match in their series. Jarrett was looking for competition and it appears he had found some. - Mankind had the crowd really behind him and these two guys had an even better match than a few weeks ago. The chemistry between the two was amazing and it really showed in the match. - While fighting on the outside, Jeff Jarrett nailed a brutal piledriver on the concrete on Mankind and both men where knocked out. Jarrett was barely able to get to his feet and get to the ring before the 10 count. Jarrett gets the cheap win, in the crowd's opinion, with the count-out. Jeff Jarrett defeat Mankind via Count-Out in 17:33 [A*]
A video hyping the Kurrgan/Vader feud, that all started last month at the Royal Rumble, when Vader eliminated Kurrgan, was shown for the fans. Looks like this match is up next folks! [C]
Singles Match: Vader vs. Kurrgan (w/The Jackyl) - These two men are absolutely gigantic and to begin the match, they had themselves an epic stare-down. Kurrgan was the man who threw the first fist and we were on from there. - Vader really looked great in the match and the fans were really digging his character. Kurrgan got some solid heel heat and the men actually found some chemistry, if you could imagine. - To end the match though, it was Vader who caught Kurrgan with a big slam, which pretty much shook the arena and Vader kicked the Jackyl off the apron and nailed a big Vadersault from the top for the win! Kurrgan's undefeated streak is over! Vader defeats Kurrgan via Vadersault in 9:03 [C+]
Following the win for Vader, while he was celebrating, we faded into a nice video package that highlights the events that has been going on with Ken Shamrock & Rocky Maivia. Tonight, The Nation of Domination is barred for this match, can Shamrock FINALLY win the Intercontinental Championship? [B-]
WWF Intercontinental Championship - Singles Match: Rocky Maivia (c) vs. Ken Shamrock - This one should be good and it definitely lived up to the hype. Shamrock finally had Rocky all by himself and it definitely was excellent for him. - Shamrock almost had the match won following a belly-to-belly, but Maivia was just able to kick out and it set off Shamrock even more. - To end the bout, we saw Ken Shamrock go for the Ankle Lock, but Maivia battle out of it. Maivia rolled out of the ring, grabbed the Intercontinental Championship and proceeded to walk out. Shamrock went to grab him and Rocky turned around to nail him in the face with the belt! The referee called for the bell and this one is over! Shamrock was screwed again by Rocky! Ken Shamrock defeats Rocky Maivia via Disqualification in 12:52; Rocky Maivia retains his Championship
Following the match, Shamrock was livid and wanted Rocky back in the ring. Maivia was just about to get in when the whole Nation of Domination attacked Shamrock from behind and they were beating down on him. Not before long, the Disciples of Apocalypse, Skull, 8-Ball, & Chainz ran out to save Shamrock. The Nation scurried out of the ring, lead by Rocky Maivia. Shamrock grabbed a microphone and told Rocky that he knew that he'd screw him again, so Shamrock went out and got himself some back-up, just in case! Shamrock & The DOA celebrate in the ring while the Nation walk to the back with their tails between their legs. [B-]
WWF European Championship - Singles Match: Triple H (c) vs. Shawn Michaels [Both men with Chyna] - The two members of Degeneration X MUST battle here tonight or they are both stripped of their belts and fire from the WWF. At first, they wanted no part of each other and just messed around. Slaughter came out to remind them that they HAVE to fight here or they are fired. The real match had begun. - Michaels had control for most of the match, but it seemed that these two weren't really putting their all into the match. Chyna ended up torn between both men and the crowd was having a laugh at the match. - Michaels shipped Triple H to the outside and followed him. After a few punch exchanges, both men stopped as the referee had a count of 8 and just started walking to the back. After what was a pretty decent match, they both are counted out! This was the plan all along and Degeneration X escapes with another one! Triple H draws Shawn Michaels via Double Countout in 15:59; Triple H retains his Championship
A video played hyping up the recent events between Steve Austin & Owen Hart. The video included Steve Austin apparently joining Degeneration X and if Austin wins tonight, he will be giving up his World Championship shot at Wrestlemania! Will Owen be able to prevail and keep his shot?
Winner Faces Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XIV for the WWF Championship; Main Event - Singles Match: Steve Austin vs. Owen Hart - Owen got himself a nice big pop from the Houston crowd and even in his home state, Austin was booed to high hell. Austin has garnered some real heat since he has apparently joined Degeneration X. - The match itself was incredible and definitely main event worthy as both men can REALLY work. - The match advantage was split pretty evenly down the middle and neither man had a big chunk of advantage! - The ending saw Owen Hart locking in the sharpshooter, but Austin reversing the pressure and breaking the hold. Both men got to their feet and lightning quick, Austin nailed a huge Stunner on Hart and got the victory! Excellent bout and way to end the match! Steve Austin defeats Owen Hart via Stunner in 22:55
Following his victory, Austin celebrated over Owen's body! It appears that Degeneration X has stolen ANOTHER one here tonight folks! See you tomorrow on Monday Night Raw! [B+][/font][/center]

Good opener, I figured The Godwins would win due to their push, but I pulling for the DOA. Nice that you added TAKA Vs. Funk to the show, and thank you for keeping the belt on TAKA, but I wouldn't mind another couple matches between them. Nice 'Taker/Kane segment, I like how 'Taker will actually fight him now and not waiting til WrestleMania. I like Jarrett getting a cheap win by count out. Kind of was expecting Kurrgan to get the win and just destroy Vader, but Vader getting the win is cool too. I had a feeling Rocky was going to escape with the title some how. Nice way for DX to pull a fast one on Slaughter. Austin winning is great, because I really wanna see how it plays out between him and Michaels leading in to 'Mania, but I was kind of wanting Owen to win. But either way, great show.

WWF In Your House- No Way Out of Texas: Sunday, Week 3, February, 1998...A weak way to kick off this pay-per-view spectacular with the four-team warfare match with a shot at the WWF Tag Team Championships at stake. Could of gone on second, in the spot I usually call the filler match. The Godwinns winning is interesting yet bizarre. Hopefully you rename Phineous and Henry to their real names like in real life. TAKA Michinoku retaining the WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship is good, wish you'd of built Flash Funk up more as a heel, that could of made the crowd more anticipated. Please bring in some Japanese stars and maybe some Mexican stars aswell. Great promo with Kane and The Undertaker to further their rivalry into WrestleMania XIV. Should be a grand match. Great match between Mankind and Jeff Jarrett, nice to see Jarrett get a win, hopefully he can get a big push in this diary. Vader beating Kurrgan in battle of the titans is fine, glad he won really. The Jackyl and Kurrgan will live to fight another day. Nice that Ken Shamrock once again failed to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The Rock. Shamrock should win it at WrestleMania XIV. Great WWF European Championship match between D-Generation X members, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Liked the double countout finish, but will it be good for HBK as he needs to prepare for WrestleMania XIV's WWF Championship match? Hmm. Great main event, glad Stone Cold Steve Austin beat Owen Hart, hopefully he turns face again and beats Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV to win the WWF Championship. Good show overall, but mainly a hype for WrestleMania next month.

A nicely booked show heading into Mania. I like Shamrock continually getting screwed by Rocky. I see one final match between them at Mania with Shamrock finally taking the title. The only thing I didnt really like was Vader beating Kurrgan. I thought Kurrgan should have went over since he's getting a push and Vader was kind of a non factor at this time. HBK/HHH outcome made sense, though it seemed a little forced to have it at a PPV is they werent going to really fight. Austin over Owen made sense. I still smell a swerve. This diary is really entertaining!

The Tag Team Warfare seemed to be a better contest than I thought it would be. The Godwinns winning makes the most sense; however, I do not like the decision. I wonder what The South stable will lead too and if all men will receive pushes. I am extremely pleased to see TAKA Michinoku retain his title over Flash Funk. The Undertaker and Kane segment was great and it helps build towards their Wrestlemania. Double J defeating Mankind was the right decision and I hope to see both men move on to bigger and better things. I love that Vader defeated Kurrgan as he is the better big man. I would mark for Vader to receive a push. Ken Shamrock retaining the IC championship was logical as he just won it. I wonder what Rocky Maivia will move on to. I like D.O.A as Ken Shamrock’s backup against The Nation. The Triple H versus Shawn Michaels match ending in a draw was smart and the way they found a loophole in the stipulation was great. I strongly hate that Steve Austin defeated Owen Hart. I am hoping you have something amazing in store as Owen Hart deserved that title shot!
