the following is a product of the world wrestling federation WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS: MONDAY NIGHT RAW #9! "ALL ABOARD!" - Monday, Week 2, March 1998 -
The following matches were taped for this week's edition of WWF Shotgun Saturday Night: Bradshaw (w/Jim Cornette) defeated Dave Finlay via Lariat in 4:55 [C-] Marc Mero & Mark Henry defeated The Headbangers [Mosh/Thrasher] via Shooting Star Press from Mero to Mosh in 5:36 [C]
MONDAY NIGHT RAW
The usual opening video featuring highlights from all of your favorite World Wrestling Federation superstars is shown and we get set for another great edition of Monday Night Raw in Arizona tonight! The camera pans the crowd and eventually, we are joined by the broadcast team for Raw, Jim Ross, Kevin Kelly, and Michael Cole. Ross and colleagues put over tonight's HUGE main event...literally. Tonight, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin will team up with Owen Hart, Ken Shamrock, & The Disciples of Apocalypse to face off against Degeneration X, Shawn Michaels & Triple H, who team with The Nation of Domination! This match should definitely get everyone ready for what should be a historic night six days from now! Also tonight, both Kurrgan & Vader will be in action before their encounter at Wrestlemania and Ahmed Johnson looks to get back on the winning side of things! The lights turn red and that can only mean one thing folks!
The younger brother of the Undertaker, Kane, makes his way down to the ring along side Paul Bearer. Bearer doesn't have that usual grin on his face tonight and he seems a little upset. He tells the crowd that on the Showcase Thursday, the Undertaker announced that he wants to face his brother in a 'Darkness Street Fight'. Bearer told the crowd that he didn't have any idea what that was, until someone inform him that it was just a FANCY name for a straight up brawl. Bearer warns the Undertaker that his younger brother will finally gain the revenge he has been seeking since the Undertaker tore their family apart that faithful night. At Wrestlemania XIV, the Undertaker will be the one who RESTS IN PIECES! Then, we see something appear on the tron and the Undertaker is shown in some dark alley. He tells Bearer that he can make all the threats he wants, but come Sunday, his brother is going to be turned in ash. The Undertaker then flicks a burning match onto a pile of wood. The blazing fire lights up the famous Undertaker logo as the Deadman walks away. The crowd cheers as Kane clutches the ropes, wanting to get a piece of his brother! [B+]
6-Man Tag Match; TAKA Michinoku, Devon Storm, & Flash Flanagan vs. Flash Funk, Brian Christopher, & Scott Taylor - All six of these men will be doing battle against each other at Wrestlemania, but for tonight, they are split into teams and are force to team up. - This match was extremely fast paced and the crowd seemed to enjoy it minimally, even though the only man in the ring who was remotely over was the Light Heavyweight Champion himself, TAKA. - After some good action, TAKA Michinoku was able to get his team the victory in the match, following a Springboard Kneedrop to Taylor and the pinfall. Michinoku, Flanagan, & Storm defeat Funk, Christopher, & Taylor via Springboard Kneedrop from Michinoku to Taylor in 6:36 [D]
We quickly cut to the locker room backstage following this one, as Ahmed Johnson is standing by. He tells the crowd that he has a match up next and he is ready to prove himself out there. He mentions that his comeback will now be preserved with a win on Raw NEXT! [C+]
Singles Match; Goldust vs. Ahmed Johnson - Johnson's opponent here tonight is a man we haven't seen since Vader made a joke of him at the Royal Rumble, Goldust! Goldust came down alone, without Luna Vachon. Ahmed drew a little pop from the crowd, but nothing spectacular. - This match seemed to be missing something as the action was pretty decent, but the flow might have been a tad off. The crowd seemed to enjoy it though. - The ending of the bout saw Goldust catch Johnson off guard with a Flying Lariat and get the surprising three count. The crowd was certainly stunned with the finish of this one. Goldust defeated Ahmed Johnson via Flying Lariat in 6:55 [C+]
After that last match, we took a quick sponsor break and when we returned, we saw Ahmed Johnson destroying anything he could find backstage. Johnson seems very frustrated and he needs to find his groove inside the ring before its too late. It is quickly getting ugly backstage and someone needs to calm Johnson down! [C]
We cut now to ringside, where Kurrgan is making his way down to the ring with his manager, The Jackal. Jackal starts talking about how in 6 days, Kurrgan will finally put all his critics to rest and he will beat 'old man Vader' in a body slam challenge. This win that Kurrgan will achieve will skyrocket him into superstardom, where he will eventually become WWF Champion! But, for now, Kurrgan has a match against the lowly Bob Holly! [C-]
Singles Match; Bob Holly vs. Kurrgan (w/The Jackal) - Well, this match wasn't for the weak at heart and it was mostly Kurrgan completely dominating Holly. - Kurrgan made an example of Holly by throwing him around the ring and the crowd wasn't really into this one. - The painful match finally ended after Kurrgan delivered the Claw to Holly and got the victory! Kurrgan defeated Bob Holly via The Claw in 4:50 [D]
Jim Ross, Kevin Kelly, & Michael Cole put over the fact that Commissioner Slaughter has just made a tag team match for Wrestlemania XIV, that will feature the Disciples of Apocalypse facing off against Nation of Domination's D'Lo Brown & Kama Mustafa! [C-]
Then, the commentators proceed to go over the rest of the card for Wrestlemania XIV, which will feature Owen Hart facing off against Triple H; The Legion of Doom versus The New Age Outlaws; Rocky Maivia defending his Championship against Ken Shamrock; and Steve Austin challenges Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship! All this and more...6 days from now! [B+]
Then, we see a graphic promoting the Legion of Doom in action in the main event of RAW...which is up NEXT! [C+]
Tag Team Match; The Legion of Doom [Animal/Hawk] vs. The Godwinns [Phinias/Henry] (w/The South) - The crowd was definitely hot for the Legion of Doom and really tore into the South when they made an appearance. This one had that feeling of some classic tag team wrestling. - Both members of the LOD were visibly tiring towards the end of the bout and the Godwinns ended up carrying the end of the match. - The New Age Outlaws interrupted the bout while all four men were battling outside and the NAO ended up distracting both teams with their gold, and both teams were counted out! The Legion of Doom drew The Godwinns via Double Countout in 7:34 [C+]
Even though the referee called for the bell, The Legion of Doom chased after the Tag Champions and caught them on the ramp. The two teams started exchanging blows and eventually, they disappeared backstage! That match on Sunday will certainly be filled with emotion! The Godwinns taunted the fans while walking to the back with The South! [C+]
THE WAR ZONE
We have now entered the War Zone ladies and gentleman! Jim Ross has now been joined by Jerry Lawler, as Kelly & Cole have exited. Ross & Lawler put over the fact that we will be seeing a HUGE 10 man tag match between the Degeneration X/Nation of Domination and Ken Shamrock, Steve Austin, Owen Hart & The Disciples of Apocalypse! Also, Vader will be in action and we will hear from Terry Funk!
Speaking of Terry Funk, he is making his way down to the ring right now. He is bandaged up on his forehead, but he seems crazier than usual. He starts screaming in the microphone about how Cactus Jack is a p*ussy and how he cannot face him man-to-man. Tonight, Funk wants to face someone right now, but he doesn't want an ordinary match. He wants a hardcore match against anyone who has the guts come out here right now! Before Funk ends his promo. he breaks out a barbed wire bat and tells everyone that this will be covered in Jack's blood at Wrestlemania! Jeff Jarrett, an unlikely opponent, answers Funk's challenge and starts charging the ring. [C+]
Hardcore Singles Match; Terry Funk vs. Jeff Jarrett - This match was pretty nuts and both men ended up bleeding. Of course, Funk was cut open first after Jarrett struck him with a steel chair. - The crowd absolutely loved this one and the quality of the match was actually awesome. Surprisingly, Funk can still carry himself in the ring and gave Jarrett a run for his money. - The match came to an end after Funk drilled Jarrett in the stomach with the barbed wire bat and then gave him a Piledriver! Terry Funk defeated Jeff Jarrett via Piledriver in 6:45 [B+]
Afterward, Funk kicked Jarrett out of the ring and picked up the bat. He started nailing himself in the head with the bat and he ended up gushing blood. He grabbed a microphone and told the crowd that this is Cactus' fate at Wrestlemania! Funk then rushed to the back swinging the barbed wire bat around! Funk has definitely gone full berserk!
Jim Ross put over that up next, we will see Vader in action, just six short days before he does battle with Kurrgan at Wrestlemania XIV! [B-]
Singles Match; Mark Henry vs. Vader - These two monsters had some good chemistry in the ring and the crowd certainly enjoyed this battle. Vader, who is now majorly over, really had the crowd on his side and took it to Henry tonight. - The action of this match may have been a tad short, but it was definitely respectable. Henry wasn't a slouch either and he impressed the audience. - Vader did finish him off fairly easily though following a huge Power Bomb and pinfall! Vader defeats Mark Henry via Power Bomb in 4:10 [C+]
Vader was celebrating with his fans following his victory, when Kurrgan came down to the ring and caught him off guard. Kurrgan nailed Vader with some hard lefts and rights before putting him down with The Claw. The crowd booed as Kurrgan & The Jackal stood over the fallen Vader inside the ring! [C+]
We cut to backstage where Degeneration X, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, & Chyna, were standing by. They started talking about Wrestlemania XIV and their respective matches. Then, their attentions shift's to tonight's main event. Shawn Michaels talks about how their opponents aren't even on the same page tonight, while their team is definitely going the same way. Then, the entire Nation of Domination, lead by Rocky Maivia, enter the frame. Maivia tells their opponents that these five men are a force to be reckoned with tonight! Jim Ross tells the fans that the main event of the War Zone is up next!
Main Event - 10-Man Tag Team Match; Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock, Owen Hart, & The Disciples of Apocalypse [Skull/8-Ball] vs. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, & The Nation of Domination [Rocky Maivia/Kama Mustafa/D'Lo Brown] - Boy, this match was very intense and action packed. The crowd was totally behind the faces in this one, but they really didn't seem on the same page. First off, Austin & Owen seemed a bit bitter towards each other, while Shamrock seemed angry with the DOA for not saving him last week from an attack. While, on the other side, the heels worked together and really gelled together. - This match also had some really good action and Austin ended up getting a hot tag. He exploded when he entered the ring and so did the crowd. - It was surprising to see, but it was Triple H who really spent a nice bulk of the match in the ring for his team. It was unexpected to see him instead of someone else in there. - The ending of this chaotic match saw Shawn Michaels use his head and notice that hell was about to break loose. He got a quick tag and out of nowhere, nailed Skull with a Sweet Chin Music to get the victory! Raw ends with pretty much all 10 men brawling around the ring! Michaels, Triple H, Maivia, Mustafa, & Brown defeat Austin, Hart, Shamrock, Skull & 8-Ball via Sweet Chin Music from Michaels to Skull in 14:39

World Wrestling Federation Newswire... Written By: Johnathon Stone
Rumblings around the WWF Locker Room...
- After Wrestlemania XIV, it is expected that the Legion of Doom will be taking an extended break from wrestling. Both have requested this since they are really burnt out.
- Also after 'Mania, Terry Funk will be going back to working behind the scenes, instead of wrestling. Ron Simmons [Faarooq] has also stated that his time in the ring is about up and he wants one final feud before he goes.
- An influx of talent has been signed and placed into OVW these past couple of weeks. The likes include Scott Borders, Scotty Riggs, Mike Modest, & Super Calo.
- My sources tell me by the end of the year, a major star will be leaving the World Wrestling Federation. By the sounds of it, it could end up being Shawn Michaels, who is starting to become run-down.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday, Week 2, March, 1998...Alrighty, last stop before WrestleMania XIV, let's get down to it. Nice main event it appears, with a grand ten-man tag team putting three feuds into one before the big event. Nice opening promo with Kane and Paul Bearer cutting a promo to open up Monday Night RAW. Should be interesting though predictable that The Undertaker will beat Kane come WrestleMania. Fairly decent light-heavyweight match with the six men who will fight for the WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship on Sunday. Hopefully TAKA Michinoku retains, but it'd be good to see Brian Christopher have a reign with the title, aswell. Goldust beating Ahmed Johnson would of been big in 1996, but glad Goldust won either way. I bet Ahmed refused to take a Curtain Call from Goldust. Can't say it does anything more than give Ahmed and Goldust something to do, but I do think Goldust needs to be included on Sunday's show in some shape or form. Kurrgan beating Bob Holly is fine. The Body Slam Challenge with Kurrgan and Vader, as I've mentioned before I am not too fond of, personally. The low crowd reaction to Kurrgan beating Holly shows that he isn't ready for anything above the midcard scene. The Legion of Doom beating The Godwinns is fine, seemed pretty decent, though at least there was no neck-injuring Doomsday Device, like in 1997. Was a great RAW main event. Nice promo with Terry Funk, very extreme and good decision for it to open WarZone. Terry Funk beating Jeff Jarrett in a hardcore match is fine, could of possibly gone a little longer, though. Wish Jarrett, like Goldust was doing something to note. Vader beating Mark Henry is okay, nothing special, plus didn't Henry team with Marc Mero previously, on Shotgun Saturday Night? He'd be knackered by this point. Great, chaotic ten-man tag team main event, and it was a grand way to finish, leading us into WrestleMania XIV. Solid show overall, built very well.

It is about time we received an update! :]
I am interested in the use of Dave Finlay. I hope he become an active part of the main roster as I feel he could do wonderful things. I like Paul Bearer announcing that Kane will make Undertaker Rest in Pieces at Wrestlemania, but it seems like the Undertaker has something else in mind. Nonetheless, I can not wait to see what happens when these two brothers clash at Wrestlemania 14! I feel TAKA Michinoku, Devon Storm, & Flash Flanagan was the better trio compared to Flash Funk, Brian Christopher, & Scott Taylor so I am happy to see them win. The six man match at Wrestlemania will be good and this was a nice way to prepare us for that. Ahmed Johnson is really pointless nowadays and his potential is down the drain. Goldust defeating him is terrific, but no one should lose to Ahmed Johnson. I like Ahmed destroying backstage, I wonder if anyone will calm him down. I hope Kurrgan does not defeat Vader. Vader is better than Kurrgan and could be a top heel as Kurrgan could never be taken that serious. Kurrgan had to face off against some tough competition in Bob Holly. Honestly, Holly lasting that long was a shock to me. The Disciples of Apocalypse versus the Nation of Domination works for me. I was surprised the Legion of Doom drew The Godwinns, but you are obviously protecting both teams. I really hope the New Age Outlaws win at Wrestlemania. I was extremely surprised to see Jeff Jarrett accept Terry Funk’s Hardcore Challenge. Double J losing makes sense, although I dislike that. Double J could be a star and losing to Terry Funk does not help anyone. I was expecting Cactus Jack to interfere after the match, but I can deal with that not happening. I was shocked to see Vader Power Bomb Mark Henry, but it is good as it shows Vader’s power. Kurrgan taking Vader down after the match was impressive. The main event was huge and obviously a huge brawl was going to erupt. I love Shawn Michaels being sneaky to score the pinfall for his team. I hope HBK doesn't leave at the end of the year.

the following is a product of the world wrestling federation WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION PRESENTS: WWF: Wrestling Showcase #2! "The Final Stop!" - Thursday, Week 2, March 1998 -
The following match was an untelevised match that took place before the actual show: Bradshaw (w/The South) defeated Billy Gunn via Lariat in 5:51 [C]
WWF: Wrestling Showcase
The WWF: Wrestling Showcase opening plays and then we go live inside the DCU Center, where we are live for the Wrestling Showcase! Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler welcome us to the second ever edition of the Wrestling Showcase and tonight, we make our final stop before we arrive at the FleerCenter in Boston this Sunday for the fourteenth annual Wrestlemania! But, for tonight, our main event consists of Ken Shamrock tagging up with Owen Hart to face off against their respective Wrestlemania opponents, Rocky Maivia & Triple H! Also, in a few moments, Kane will do action right before he faces his brother, The Undertaker, for the first time ever, in a Darkness Street Fight! Before we get to the Kane action, Ross says to take a look at this! [B+]
The fans at home are treated to a video recap of the feud between Kane and the Undertaker. This video recaps the whole entire history of the Undertaker, including Kane debuting and attacking his brother in that Hell in a Cell match last year and also, the attacks that Kane has been handing out to people, just to get his hands on his brother! Then, it recaps what has happened this year, including the Undertaker finally giving in to Kane's demands, after Kane cost Undertaker the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble! This Sunday, these two monsters of brothers will collide in the ring and settle this family score once and for all!
Singles Match: Chainz (w/The Disciples of Apocalypse) vs. Kane (w/Paul Bearer) - These two monsters lock up here tonight for a pretty decent match with a few big spots. - The crowd was able to get behind Chainz since he was facing Kane, one of the most hated men in the WWF. Kane dominated most of the match, but Chainz did get a few flurries of offense in that made Kane looks semi-human. - Kane ended the match pretty abruptly though as he caught one of the big men in the DOA off guard and nailed a huge Choke Slam and got the three count! Kane defeats Chainz via Choke Slam in 7:32 [B-]
Leif Cassidy is hanging out backstage with a few other workers when Cactus Jack comes walking in. Jack passes this group of people and Cassidy makes a comment to fellow WWF developmental superstar, Mike Spillane, about how crazy Jack is. Cactus overhears this comment and gets in Cassidy's face. Jack tells him that if he really wants to see crazy, he should meet him in the ring next! Jack adds that he wasn't asking him, but he was demanding him to meet him in the ring next or he'll come find him! Cactus walks away and the group of development superstars laugh at Cassidy. [C]
A video is shown to promote the new WWF superstar, 'Mr. Technician' David Finley! This 'new' superstar will be arriving on the scene very shortly! [F]
We rejoined ringside and making his way down to the ring was Cactus Jack. He quickly took a microphone and told the fans that come Sunday, Terry Funk will finally be put out of his misery. But, for tonight, Jack will prove why you don't disrespect someone you don't know! He is going to make an example out of his 'unknown' opponent right now! Cassidy made his way down to the ring for this encounter!
Singles Match; Cactus Jack vs. Leif Cassidy - This match was between two off-screen friends and even though it was geared towards more of a squash match, it was pretty good. - Jack really took care of business pretty quickly and made this one as painful as possible without using any kinds of weapons. - Eventually, Cassidy suffered a brutal Double Arm DDT in the center of the ring and Jack got himself a win going into Wrestlemania! Cactus Jack defeats Leif Cassidy via Double Arm DDT in 5:50 [C+]
Following this bout, Jim Ross & The King recap what a card Wrestlemania XIV is! The likes of the Darkness Street Fight, a Body Slam Challenge, and all Championships on the line makes this one of the most classic Wrestlemania cards ever! What a night it will be this Sunday, only on Pay-Per-View!
We quickly rush to the back when we came back from the break and Cactus Jack is in the middle of attacking Terry Funk! These two are brawling all around the backstage area and Jack gets the upper hand. He knocks Funk out with a fire extinguisher and then drills him with a Double Arm DDT on the concrete floor! Officials are finally able to restrain the two men, but the damage is already done to Funk! [C+]
Main Event - Tag Team Match; Owen Hart & Ken Shamrock vs. Triple H & Rocky Maivia - Two feuds collide in this match and all four of these men took part in that huge 10 man match last week. It was a shame, because Hart really never got his hands on Triple H in this one. - Shamrock was doubled teamed a lot by his opponents and he was kept isolated in their corner almost the entire match. - It was strange to see nobody come out with these men, as we thought we'd see another huge brawl at this end of this match. - Turns out, at the end of the match, Ken Shamrock, the man who was dominated for most of the match, actually scored the win on the European Champion, after Hart had him locked in the sharpshooter. Maivia cleared Owen out of the ring and that allowed the legal man, Shamrock, to nail a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and get the three count! Ken Shamrock & Owen Hart defeat Triple H & Rocky Maivia via Belly-to-Belly Suplex from Shamrock to Triple H in 11:51
Shamrock started to celebrate his victory, but the WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels, cut that short as he attacked Ken from behind with a chair. Michaels started to pummel Shamrock with shots to the back, but Steve Austin came running out to chase Michaels off and make the save! Michaels grabbed Triple H and they walked to the back as Austin stared them down. Shamrock made his way to his feet, but just fell back down after a Stunner out of the blue from Austin! Stone Cold is friends with nobody and he has proved that tonight! The Showcase ends with Austin standing tall as DX hightailed it to the back!

I like the video recapping Kane and Undertaker’s feud and I love that Kane had a match following the video. I do like that Chainz got some offense in, but obviously Kane was not going to lose. I love this crazy Cactus Jack gimmick, it is immense. David Finley! OH MY GOD! I LOVE ME! PUSH HIM TO THE MOON! The great Leif Cassidy losing to Cactus Jack was expected. Shit! Funk should be dead after that attack. Ken Shamrock and Owen Hart over Triple H and Rocky Maivia was terrific. I like Shawn Michaels attacking Shamrock with a chair and Austin making the save. I love Austin giving Shamrock a Stunner!

WWF Wrestling Showcase: Thursday, Week 2, March, 1998...Decent way to kick off Wrestling Showcase with Kane overcoming Chainz in what was a simple way to get Kane prepared for his upcoming battle with The Undertaker at WrestleMania XIV, by having Kane beat 'Taker old nemesis from SummerSlam 1994, Brain Lee, the Fake Undertaker! Sweet that David Finley is arriving, but thing is, he doesn't seem to be well over, I think maybe he should take time off and stick to developmental for a little while, then work him up. 'Mr Technician' sounds like a dodgy name in my opinion, too, but that's just me. Cactus Jack beating Leif Cassidy is fine, good win for Jack. Hopefully Cassidy transforms into Al Snow in the near future. Great tag team main event to elevate the WWF Intercontinental Championship and WWF European Championship rivalries heading into 'Mania with Ken Shamrock and Owen Hart beating Triple H and The Rock. Good show overall.
Please reply to WWF 1997?

- Simple win for Kane heading into a huge match at Mania. Doubt he will win against Taker. - Alright segment with Jack and Cassidy. - Interested to see Finley coming into the WWF. - Jack gets a good win before his Mania match. Like that he is Cactus and not Mankind and I hope you keep it that way for a little while. - Jack attacking Funk seemed to come out of nowhere considering their wasn’t any mention of Funk heading to the ring or anything. But, it helps Jack get over more in the feud. - Glad to see a clean finish in the main event. Was expecting a DQ or something. Good way to end the show with Austin stunning Shamrock.

the following is a product of the world wrestling federation World Wrestling Federation Presents: WRESTLEMANIA XIV Sunday - Week 2 - March 1998 [/b] The following match was shown on WWF Free-For-All before the event started:The South [Bradshaw/Phinias/Henry] (w/Jim Cornette) defeated The Headbangers [Mosh/Thrasher] & Bart Gunn via PowerBomb from Bradshaw to Mosh [C+] - Following the match, Bart Gunn turned on the Headbangers back attacking both and drilling them with big Lariats. The South announced that Bart Gunn has officially joined their unstoppable force tonight! [C]Wrestlemania XIVWrestlemania XIV comes the air, live on pay-per-view, with a video highlighting tonight's major feuds! This video lasts a long time, since we have 9 spectacular matches for you this evening including Shawn Michaels defending his WWF Championship against Steve Austin! Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler welcomes us to the fourteenth annual Wrestlemania, live from the FleetCenter in Boston! The crowd is packed out here tonight and boy, do they have a reason to be! Ross & The King really put over tonight's card including the WWF Championship match, the Darkness Street Fight, and SO MUCH MORE! [A*]Ross then talks about the heated feud between two hardcore legends in Terry Funk and Cactus Jack. This should come to an end tonight, as these due battle in a hardcore match! This one could get very brutal and it is not for all ages! Then a video beings to play hyping up tonight's opening contest, which should be a treat for the Boston crowd! [C+]Hardcore Singles Match; Terry Funk vs. Cactus Jack- This one started off pretty early as Funk came down to the ring with some insurance in his hand, a barbed-wire bat! Funk has bandages around his head from Jack's attack this past Thursday on the Showcase! Jack also brought himself some help with a few steel chairs and got some boos from the fans! - The match got real ugly...real fast. On his arrival to the ring, Jack was met with a shot to the stomach from the barbed-wire bat. Both men ended up busted open during the match also and it got seriously ugly when Terry Funk pulled out a Barbed-wire plank. He nailed Jack in the skull with the plank and the match appeared to be over. - Funk couldn't make the cover though as he was slowly losing blood himself and he became weak. This allowed Jack to get himself back in the match. - The match ended when Cactus Jack caught Funk off-guard and drilled him with a Double Armed DDT on the barbed-wire baseball bat and got the victory in a brutal match! Cactus Jack defeats Terry Funk via Double Armed DDT on a Barbed-Wire Bat in 11:58 Following the match, the ring was cleaned up and we went to the back were The Jackal and his client, Kurrgan, were standing by. Kurrgan received some boos when he appeared on the screen, but nothing really major. The Jackal droned on about how Kurrgan will shatter Vader's career later on tonight and how Kurrgan will move up in the wrestling world and challenge the WWF Champion at next month's pay-per-view! The crowd surely doesn't like this announcement and they boo as the duo leave the screen. [C-]Tag Team Match; Disciples of Apocalypse [Skull/8-Ball] vs. The Nation of Domination [Kama Mustafa/D'Lo Brown] (w/Faarooq)- Well, from my assumption, Rocky was too good to come out here with his stable tonight and it was only Faarooq accompanying the Nation tonight. The Disciples got a pretty decent reaction from the crowd also. - We saw this match a few weeks ago on Raw, but tonight was definitely better. The action was pretty slow since there were four bigger guys in the ring, but that doesn't mean it was bad! The crowd mostly enjoyed the match and it was a good follow up. - The Disciples got the victory after Skull caught D'Lo Brown with a huge Powerbomb! Nice tag action here at Wrestlemania! The Disciples of Apocalypse defeat The Nation of Domination via Powerbomb from Skull to D'Lo Brown in 9:27 [C]A video was shown to promote all the light heavyweights in tonight's six-pack mayhem for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Devon Storm, Flash Flanagan, Flash Funk, Brian Christopher, Scott Taylor and of course, TAKA Michinoku, were all highlighted and this match will be coming up next! [C-]WWF Light Heavyweight Championship - 6 Pack Mayhem: TAKA Michinoku (c) vs. Devon Storm vs. Flash Flanagan vs. Flash Funk vs. Scott Taylor vs. Brian Christopher- This match was exactly how it was described...MAYHEM! The action was all over the ring and it was hard to follow. Many high risk maneuvers were attempted during this one and the crowd enjoyed that. - No one really in this match is over with the crowd except Michinoku, but he isn't majorly over. The crowd really didn't know who to cheer for, but they definitely enjoyed the fast pace action! - The match came to an abrupt end after Flash Flanagan took out Flash Funk & Scott Taylor with a Suicide Dive and Michinoku drilled Storm with a Michinoku Driver for the three count. Very risky move by Flanagan and it didn't pay off for him in the end! TAKA Michinoku defeated Devon Storm, Scott Taylor, Flash Funk, Flash Flanagan, & Brian Christopher via Michinoku Driver on Storm in 12:58 to retain the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship [C-]We quickly cut to the back where Vader is standing by. He is starting to scream about how Kurrgan will not be ending any careers tonight since tonight, Vader will be giving new life to his career, as he is going to destroy what Kurrgan has built! Vader tells the fans that he is ready for some ACTION! [C+]Body Slam Challenge - Singles Match; Vader vs. Kurrgan (w/The Jackal)- Kurrgan got himself a little heat when he appeared, but it was more directed towards the Jackal. But, when Vader walked through the curtain, the crowd definitely gave its biggest pop so far! - These two giants put on another decent match like the one they did at No Way Out, but they really didn't sell to much. Vader finally took Kurrgan off his feet mid-match with a clothesline. - Finally, by the 12 minute mark, the crowd was getting a bit restless and it was Vader who picked his opponent up and SLAMMED him down to the mat to get the victory! Vader has slammed the giant known as Kurrgan! Vader defeated Kurrgan via Body Slam in 12:58 [C+]Following the slam, Vader celebrated with the crowd as the Jackal looked disappointed at Kurrgan. We then cut to a video hyping up the feud between the Tag Team Champions, The New Age Outlaws and the Legion of Doom. This feud has been going on for many months and tonight, it will finally come to an end. Will the LOD finally get their revenge on the weasel's known as the Outlaws? Jim Ross commented that this match should be a slobberknocker! [C+]WWF Tag Team Championships - Tag Team Match; The New Age Outlaws [Billy Gunn/Roaddog] (c) vs. The Legion of Doom [Animal/Hawk]- The Outlaws were out first and even in their entrance, they were trash-talking their opponents. The crowd really hate these guys, but when the LOD came out, they went nuts. Finally, the Legion of Doom get their hands on the LOD! - The match itself was pretty decent but short due to the Legion of Doom. They really cannot work a long match any longer and the Outlaws were carrying them by the end of the match. - Speaking of the end, it was a little dusty as it wasn't as clean as peopled hoped it would be. Roaddog broke up a pin by Hawk to save the match and he wouldn't leave. The referee tried to make him leave, but he wouldn't budge. This allowed Gunn to sneak out and grab a title belt. Hawk was also watching the Roaddog scene and when he turned around, he was clocked with the belt! Billy Gunn then hit Animal also and Roaddog finally ended his argument. Gunn delivered a Fameasser to Hawk and got the cheap three count to steal the victory! The New Age Outlaws defeat The Legion of Doom via Fameasser from Gunn to Hawk in 7:36 to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships [B-]Following the three count, the Outlaws quickly got out of the ring before Animal could do anything about it. Once again, they stole a victory from the Legion of Doom and the fans aren't happy about it! The crowd booed as the Outlaws taunted the LOD up the ramp with the belts and we cut away to another segment. [C+]The segment we cut to is a video hyping our next match, Triple H defending his European Championship against Owen Hart. This feud dates back to November 1997, where Owen's brother was screwed out of the World Championship by Triple H's buddy Shawn Michaels. Hart has been on a vendetta since then, trying to get some payback for his family. At the Royal Rumble, Triple H cheated his way out of losing his belt to Owen, but later that night Owen won the Royal Rumble! But, Owen then lost his shot to Steve Austin at No Way Out, but he also gained something...another shot at Triple H, tonight! WWF European Championship - Singles Match; Triple H (w/ Chyna) (c) vs. Owen Hart- The crowd absolutely booed Triple H & Chyna out of the arena, but they really didn't care. They strutted down to the ring like usual, well at least Triple H, and he seemed pretty confident. Owen Hart, on the other hand, didn't waste time with any entrance, as he ran out to the ring to start the match very quickly! - The action was pretty good and the crowd was into what they were watching. Neither man saw themselves getting a ton of action and the pace was very back and fourth. - Eventually, Triple H had Owen Hart set up for the Pedigree, but Owen reversed it into a Sharpshooter. Triple H then reversed the Sharpshooter into an inverted figure four, but then let go of the hold. When both men got to their feet, Owen QUICKLY put Triple H in a small package and got the three count out of nowhere! The crowd went wild as Owen is the new European Champion! Owen Hart defeats Triple H via Small Package in 14:38 to become WWF European Champion [B+]Afterward, Owen grabbed his belt and got out of dodge before he was attacked. Instead, Triple H grabbed the referee and started to scream in his face how this was unfair, as Owen celebrated up the ramp! Triple H threw the referee to the ground and screamed this wasn't over to Owen! The crowd absolutely loved this one! [B+]As the Triple H scene faded out, Jim Ross told the fans that this next match is full of emotion. The Undertaker will finally face off against his little brother, Kane, who has been reeking havoc all over the WWF for almost a year. Kane has wanted to get his hands on the Undertaker, after the Undertaker tried to kill him all those years ago. These two have been at each other's throats with Kane costing the Undertaker the World Championship on several occasions including the Royal Rumble! Tonight, these two face off in a 'Darkness' Street Fight, where the two creatures of the night due battle at Wrestlemania! Darkness Street Fight - Singles Match; Kane (w/Paul Bearer) vs. The Undertaker- Boy, both of these entrances were very eerie, but the crowd absolutely loves the Undertaker. Kane received some major heat and you could sense the tension in the air. These two had a massive staredown before they got underway. When the match began, the crowd exploded. - It began as a slug fest between two brothers and the action was just so good. These two really have some great chemistry and the match became very heated. In the early goings, The Undertaker was able to nail a quick chokeslam to his brother, but Kane just sat right back up. These two then found themselves on the outside at one time and this would lead to the end of the match. - The two monsters were battling on the entrance ramp and they are moving towards the edge of the stage. Below the stage, a few tables are set up for the sound crew and these two are inching towards it. Eventually, Kane got the advantage and picked up the Undertaker for the Tombstone. Paul Bearer started shouting something at Kane and the monster walked over the edge of the stage. KANE THEN TOMBSTONED THE UNDERTAKER OFF THE STAGE THROUGH A FEW TABLES! Both men are now out cold and nothing can revive them. The referee called for the bell and the crowd was stunned. The Undertaker drew Kane via double knockout following a tombstone off the stage in 16:09 A few moments after the match was called, the lights went out as workers tried to help these monsters up. When the lights came back on, both men were gone and the crowd was baffled! This match was out of this world! [A*]Luckily, a baffled Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler started to talk about our next bout, the Intercontinental Championship match between Ken Shamrock & Rocky Maivia. These two have done battle over the last three months and each time, Maivia has stolen the victory from Shamrock. Tonight's encounter will not only be for the Championship, it will not only be a no disqualification match, but it will also be Shamrock's final chance at the Intercontinental Championship!
WWF Intercontinental Championship; No Disqualification - Singles Match: Rocky Maivia (c) (w/The Nation of Domination) vs. Ken Shamrock (w/The Disciples of Apocalypse) - Before the bout began, after both men made their entrances, the referee dismissed all parties at ringside. They aren't banned from the match, he just wants a good clean fight. The crowd loves this motion and Shamrock does also! - Shamrock exploded onto Maivia at the beginning of the match, but eventually Maivia slowed Shamrock down and used his speed to take advantage. The match was extremely open and neither man was going to give anything. - The ending of the match came when Shamrock went for a big clothesline on Maivia, but Rocky ducked and Shamrock nailed the referee. Maivia then called for Faarooq to make his way down to the ring. Faarooq grabbed the Intercontinental Championship and went to hit Shamrock as Maivia was holding him...but SHAMROCK MOVED! Faarooq clocked Maivia and then was met with a belly-to-belly. Shamrock then locked in the ankle lock and Maivia had no choice but to submit! SHAMROCK FINALLY GETS THE BELT! Shamrock finally over comes the odds here tonight at Wrestlemania XIV! Ken Shamrock defeats Rocky Maivia via Ankle Lock in 12:57 to become the WWF Intercontinental Championship
Afterward, once Shamrock went to the back, Maivia left without acknowledging Faarooq and you can cut the tension with a knife. This lead to a video hyping up tonight's main event between Shawn Michaels & Steve Austin! Austin tricked Degeneration X into this match, as he was supposed to win the title shot, but then turn it over to DX. Instead, he kept the shot for himself and used it tonight, against Shawn Michaels. This one should be amazing and one for the ages!
Main Event; WWF Championship - Singles Match; Shawn Michaels (c) (w/ Degeneration X) vs. Steve Austin - So far tonight, this hasn't been a good night for Degeneration X and Michaels is looking to turn the luck around by retaining over Austin here. When Austin arrived for his entrance, the crowd went absolutely insane and gave one of the biggest pops in WWF history. Michaels received some extreme heat and these two seem deadlocked. - The match itself was absolutely awesome and the two shared some great chemistry. There were moments when the crowd thought it was all over, but the battled raged on. - Austin seemed to try and pull out all the stops to reach the top of the mountain tonight, but Michaels was very relentless. These two wouldn't stop at all and Austin started to take advantage. - Triple H tried to get involved and he got inside the ring. The referee told him to leave, but Austin did the referee a favor by giving Triple H a Stunner! Austin turned around and DUCKED THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC! He then nailed Michaels with a HUGE STUNNER and got the three count to become the new WWF Champion! OH MY GOD AUSTIN HAS DONE IT! Steve Austin defeats Shawn Michaels via Stunner in 23:22 to become WWF Champion [A*]
After the bell, Austin took the belt and raised it high for his fans. Wrestlemania XIV comes to a close as Austin celebrates with his newly won WWF Championship as confetti comes raining down on him! What a night...GOODNIGHT EVERYONE! [A*][/font][/center]

It is about time! I was surprised to see Cactus Jack and Terry Funk to open up the card as I figured the Disciples of Apocalypse versus The Nation of Domination would open the show. I like the use of barbwire in Terry Funk versus Cactus Jack and the end was nice. I can see Terry Funk doing very little in the coming months and I am really interested to see what happens to Cactus Jack, Mick Foley. I like D.O.A defeating the Nation of Domination as this feud needed to end. I can see the Nation splitting in the near future, especially considering Rocky is nowhere to be found. TAKA Michinoku retaining the Light Heavyweight Championship was the best decision. TAKA is the best Light-Heavyweight you have, so taking the title off of him would have been poor. Vader versus Kurrgan was higher up the card than I thought it would be. I love how over Vader is and that he won; however, a nearly 13 minutes Body Slam Contest is surreal! I wonder what will happen with Kurrgan now after this humiliating lose at the grandest stage of them all. I was shocked to see the Legion of Doom so exhausted towards the end of their match. I do like the New Age Outlaws retaining nonetheless, as they are an amazing tag team at this period. Owen Hart winning the WWF European Championship is great: HOWEVER, I still feel Wrestlemania 14 should have been Owen Hart defeating Shawn Michaels to win the WWF Championship. Owen Hart needs a main event push, please make that happen! I can see Triple H and Owen Hart moving on up to the main event by the end of this year, to be honest. I never would have imagined the Undertaker drawing Kane at this event. The Tombstone off the stage through tables is crazy. I wonder what will happen with these two brothers now. The aftermath was cool, I wonder where they went together! Ken Shamrock defeating Rocky to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship is great. Shamrock will prove to be an outstanding performer. Steve Austin defeating Shawn Michaels was expected, but that was the smartest move on your part. I wonder who Austin will feud with now. Overall, a great show.

-Great booking as I see the Hardcore match got an A. Dunno about it opening, but glad Jack got the victory. Always liked him more -Not a fan of the tag match, it got too much time as well. Sucks that the NOD lost though -Light Heavyweight Title match sounded exciting, surprised to see TAKA retain, but kind of glad he did -Figured Vader would win, Kurrgan was just terrible. Hope to see a Vader push come out of this -Don't like that the Tag Team Titles got less time than the earlier tag match. Figured NAO would win since I remember reading that LOD was taking time off -European Title match was my favorite of the night so far. I love you for putting the belt on Owen. Singles Title win and he Royal Rumble victory are big for Owen -HOLY CRAP! The Tombstone off the stage through tables sounded sick and incredible. Surprised to see this one end in a draw though. I feel like 'Mania should be where feuds end and are blown off but I can see Kane/'Taker resuming since this was their first match -Liked the post match touch of the bodies disappearing -Not a fan of Shamrock winning the IC Title, as I never liked him, but he needed it here. Nice to him finally beat Rocky and hopefully Rocky can move on to bigger things -Fantastic main event, very well written. I like how you say things like Austin wanting to reach the top of the mountain and that HBK was relentless. It really adds to the drama. Obvious Austin would win, but to be honest, that's how most 'Manias are
Great show, very well booked. It will be interesting to see who Austin feuds with now (please not Dude Love) and I hope to see Michaels stick around.

- Odd pairing of the Bangers/Bart in mind, so the heel turn wasn’t that surprising. But, it still is a great move in my mind. - Good way to start the show with Jack/Funk. Glad to see Jack get the win over Funk as I’m sure there are more things to do with Jack then there is with Funk. - Not a fan of the DOA going for the NOD. - TAKA going over makes sense considering neither of the men are “over” as you said. - 12 minutes for a body slam match? That seems a bit too long. Happy to see Vader going over, though. - First line of the tag match you messed up by saying the LOD was getting their hands on themselves. Just thought I’d point that out. Solid win for the Outlaws. - Owen winning the European Championship makes sense. Considering he was in the running for the top title, makes sense he would be able to win a under-card title. - Crazy finish to Taker/Kane. Suspect this will go on for a while. - Good match between Shamrock/Rock. Shamrock winning the strap cleanly is great. - Austin winning figured to happen. Wonder if Austin will feud with Rocky now that he lost the strap. - Entertaining, good show.

Nicely done show. Everything was booked logically and had good pay offs. Good to see Owen win some gold, and for Shamrock to finally get the IC Title. Hope Rock gets pushed to the main event now. Youre doing a good job of rebuilding Vader back up as a force. Taker/Kane was awesome. The spot at the end would be crazy and was a logical way to end the match and continue the feud. Austin winning made sense. Im interested to see what you do with HBK now, assuming he is sticking around.

The pre-show match was interesting, it seems like something WWF would do. The South is getting quite big, I hope to see them rise up to the upper-card and maybe feud with the NOD.
Jack and Funk had a really good match, as they usually do. The finish was good, but I can see old man Funk taking that like an ass, haha. Sad to see the Nation lose their match the DOA, but the match seemed pretty decent. The lightheavyweight bout seemed great, glad TAKA is holding the belt. I've always loved that dude. Vader picking up the win is fantastic. I think it would be really interesting to see Vader thrown in the mix with the main event during this period. Owen won the European Title! HE DID IT! WOO! Lol, keep it on him for a while. Undertaker and Kane was great. You really did good with making it feel like such a big, anticipated match. Did Wrestlemania have an elevated ramp though? Hmm. Shamrock/Rock was good too. Glad Austin won, like how the match was switched up a bit.
Great show, man.

WWF WrestleMania XIV: Sunday, Week 2, March, 1998...Shame that The South didn't manage to fit onto the main show, but nevermind as it still got Justin Hawk Bradshaw and The Godwinns over in the shadows. Not too sure of the idea of a brutal match like a Hardcore bout between Cactus Jack and Terry Funk opening up. Maybe a different match would of been better, to be honest. Would of been too brutal in my opinion for this when it'd of started at about seven o'clock eastern. The Disciples of the Apocalypse beating the Nation of Domination is bad, but I guess you got Skull and 8-Ball over well. Just didn't think this was all that WrestleMania calibre. Would of been a nice international scramble with TAKA Michinoku overcoming Devon Storm, Scott Taylor, Flash Funk, Flash Flanagan and Brian Christopher to retain the WWF Light-Heavyweight Championship, just hoping you capitalize on getting a working agreement with a Japanese or Mexican promotion, that would assist your light-heavyweight division ever so well. Again with Vader and Kurrgan, I think this was like DOA/NOD. It wasn't exactly worthy for WrestleMania XIV, but Vader winning is acceptable. The New Age Outlaws beating Legion of Doom was expected as Hawk and Animal are a bit old and tired to win the WWF Tag Team Championships personally. Great win for Owen Hart, winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship from Triple H, just feel he could of won with something more dominant than a small package. Owen wanted this because D-Generation X screwed Bret Hart, his brother. A small package I'm sure wasn't the revenge anybody had in mind. Great street fight, was really a fantastic match, but erm...The Undertaker NOT winning at WrestleMania? Wow. Like Kane's dominance and resiliance. Nobody recognized Taker's streak yet anyway. See this feud continuing then. Good stuff. Hmm, the WWF Intercontinental Championship match I feel sorry for as it'd be stuck between Kane/Taker and Steve Austin/Shawn Michaels, both of which are alot more heated than Ken Shamrock vs The Rock. Saw Shamrock winning it and hopefully we see him get a lengthy run. Austin winning was best, to win the WWF Championship and hopefully we see DX/Austin's feud continue, while the buildup of Vince McMahon's evil boss character is created. That'd be good. So many directions to go in, grand show overall.

World Wrestling Federation Newswire... Written By: Johnathon Stone
- Word from WWF officials is that Wrestlemania XIV was a definite success for the World Wrestling Federation. Many workers are still raving about the show Michaels & Austin put on in the main event.
- Expect the Legion of Doom to be written off for a few months this upcoming week on both television programs.
- An Austin/Michaels rematch is scheduled for the next In Your House event. This idea is that Triple H will be costing Michaels the title here which will set up a program between the two.
- Terry Funk will be also taking time off and we aren't expected to see him for quite sometime. Cactus Jack will be changing personas in the upcoming weeks back to Mankind and is in line for some kind of main event push.
- A rumor, which I can now confirm to be true, that the WWF will be trimming some fat on the roster in the upcoming weeks. Who will be cut from the roster?
- The big feud going into Summerslam 1998 appears to be Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels. Where does this leave the WWF Champion? Since the Undertaker is tied in a feud with Kane, Rocky Maivia & Faarooq are about to start a program and Owen Hart/Ken Shamrock holding respective titles, Mankind or Vader look to be the frontrunners to challenge Austin. Vader could turn heel in the coming weeks and if he does, you can expect him to be in the title hunt in August!
