Nice little Superstars besides that I'm excited to see what you do with Razor Ramon! Defect to WCW, or stay? If, get that son of a bitch in the title scene.

World Wrestling Federation News/Notes (January 30, 1996)-The rating for Sunday’s WWF Superstars was 2.59. WWF has seen a nice increase in ratings of all its programs as of late. -WWF has officially begun contract negotiations with independent worker Cactus Jack. Cactus Jack, who has wrestled in WCW and ECW, has expressed great interest in joining the WWF. More details as soon as they are available. -Psycho Sid’s return may be sooner then expected. In fact, a return before Wrestlemania is a decent possibility. However, the WWF medical staff does not wish to rush him into the ring.

WWF Monday Night Raw – January 29, 1996As usual, the show begins with the Monday Night Raw opening video, featuring top stars like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and many more. Immediately following the video, we go to the arena where the camera pans over the screaming fans, waiting anxiously for tonight’s event. As the crowd shots continue, Vince McMahon and Jerry “The King” Lawler welcome us to another week of Monday Night Raw! Following a quick clip of Shawn Michaels being ambushed by Vader last week, McMahon informs the fans that Shawn Michaels will speak about the savage act. Tonight’s action gets started with a tag team match featuring the champions, the Smoking Gunns!
The Smoking Gunns def. the Godwinns with the Sidewinder This was a decent opener, as the Smoking Gunns and the Godwinns wrestled a very friendly, competitive match. At first, it looked as if the tag team champions, the Smoking Gunns, were overwhelmed with the Godwinns, but this match went into the hands of the Smoking Gunns very quickly. After a few minutes of solid action, the Smoking Gunns picked up the win with the Sidewinder. The two teams shook hands following the match. ***
Shortly after the match, we go backstage where Todd Pettengill is standing with Ahmed Johnson, who suffered a devastating last at the hands of Goldust last week on Monday Night Raw. As the clip of Goldust low blowing Johnson, thus leading to the loss, rolled, Johnson unleashed his feelings about it. He stated, “What you did was a cowardly act, and I will exact revenge!” To end the interview, he challenged Goldust to a non-title match at In Your House #6!
Before the next match, it was announced that Hakushi accepted the Ringmaster’s challenge from last night’s WWF Superstars.
The Ringmaster def. Hakushi with the Million-Dollar Dream Nothing much to write home about, as this was really just a filler match. The action in the ring was decent, but never really got the crowd off their butts. However, the Ringmaster did taunt numerous times, which got the crowd riled up. There has definitely been an increase of heat towards the Ringmaster, which shows how his character has developed. The Ringmaster would pick up the win after he forced Hakushi to submit to the Million-Dollar Dream. ***
The Ringmaster, along with his manager Ted DiBiase, stayed in the ring following his match. As the crowd booed, Ted DiBiase announced that his protégé would be hosting a weekly challenge, dubbed the Million Dollar Challenge. DiBiase stated, “The challenge will continue every week until my man loses, therefore it’ll never end!” The crowd continued to boo as the two walked off.
We return from a short commercial to find Shawn Michaels standing in the ring with a microphone in hand. As his theme music dies down, he begins, “As many of you witnessed last week, Vader blatantly assaulted me, and that is exactly why I am out here.” Once again, the video of Vader’s ambush airs. Michaels continues, “Vader, you may be a monster, a huge human being, but I am Shawn Michaels. I am a two-time Royal Rumble winner and a holder of the Intercontinental title multiple times. What I’m saying is…you messed with the wrong guy. Vader, I want you and I, one on one at In Your House! Quit being a coward and come face to face!” Michaels walks off as we go to a commercial.
Razor Ramon def. Tatanka with the Razor’s Edge Surprisingly, this was not a complete squash. The first part of the match was mainly back and forth with Tatanka looking in control. However, after Ramon threw Tatanka out of the ring the tides began to turn. Quickly, Ramon began to dominate Tatanka. Finally, Ramon hit the Razor’s Edge, which put Tatanka down for the pin. ***
Backstage we find Todd Pettengill standing with Owen Hart and Jim Cornette. Pettengill begins the interview announcing that Hart will be taking on Shawn Michaels in tonight’s main event. Owen Hart seems to be jumping up in down, getting pumped for his match later tonight. Pettengill asks Owen Hart about his thoughts, to which he replies, “This match tonight, while it may not seem like it, is really huge. If I get the win, I will finally…finally get the respect I deserve! I have busted by butt trying to become a top performer, but everyone in this promotion disrespects me. That all ends tonight when I defeat one of the top players here, Shawn Michaels!” Owen Hart and Cornette walk off following the interview.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley def. Duke Droese with the Pedigree It appears that this was the weekly squash match for Monday Night Raw, as HHH just dominated his opponent early on. Helmsley began by weakening his opponent with e Sleeper Hold, and then just manhandled poor Duke Droese. However, about halfway through the match, it appeared Droese had a sudden burst of momentum. However, it was short lived as Helmsley locked in yet another Sleeper Hold. Finally, HHH pick up the win with the Pedigree. ***
Backstage with Todd Pettengill is Diesel, the number one contender for the WWF Championship. As footage of last week’s finish of Diesel’s match with the Undertaker rolls, Pettengill asks Diesel, “What are your thoughts about last week’s controversial finish?” Diesel stands silently for a few seconds before saying, “Well, first of all, I certainly do not condone Shawn Michaels’ actions. Shawn and I may be friends, but what he did was unnecessary. Without his interference, the outcome would have been the same. But, Bret, I’m making the most of the opportunity, and you better hold on to that belt, because I’m coming for it at In Your House!” Diesel walks off as Todd Pettengill says, “Back to you Vince!”
Shawn Michaels def. Owen Hart with the Sweet Chin Music This match was somewhat of a let down as Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart just did not seem to click as they have done in the past. The chemistry was there, it just was not executed to the fullest. However, there were quite a few exciting parts, and the crowd was definitely involved throughout the match, cheering loudly and proudly for Shawn Michaels. Towards the end of the match, the quality increased dramatically, and the finish was pulled off nicely. Michaels would pick up a close win as he hit the Sweet Chin Music. ***
As Shawn Michaels post match celebration got under way, Vader ran out from the stage in an attempt to attack Michaels from behind once again. However, Michaels seemed prepared and got in a fighting stance, encouraging Vader to get in the ring. Instead, Vader backed off with Jim Cornette at his side. Monday Night Raw ended with the crowd going in frenzy. [/font][/left]

WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 22nd January 1996...A nice way to start off the show with the showcase of Vader after his debut at the Royal Rumble last night, obvious win against Aldo Montoya, the three star rating isn't really realistic for a squash match at all, though. I don't even get why they'd have chemistry. Hmm, sort've a big match with the Headshrinkers beating the Bodydonnas, in this time period there would be two credible back-and-forth matches and two squash matches or filler material. The Headshrinkers were good WWF Tag Team Champions but can't see them taking the titles honestly. The Ringmaster in action with Savio Vega was cool, but again, it's a big match that ended up taking place at WrestleMania XII: it's too big at this stage in the show. Obvious Ringmaster win here. Nice segment with Shawn Michaels and Diesel, interested with what's happening, don't understand why Diesel and HBK have an alliance though, Diesel had long turned his back on Shawn, especially after HBK eliminated Diesel last night. In this time period if Goldust and Ahmed Johnson had a match, it'd main event. Nice win for Goldust, as Goldust needed the win. Liked the cheap finish too, the match didn't do much for either men, though. Made Ahmed look weak especially. Bret Hart's promo was good. And lastly, again, massive match: Diesel and Undertaker fought at WrestleMania XII. And also, we've already seem a contenders match tonight, too much. RAW was a one-hour show too, two matches with midcard/upper midcard talent, maybe even main eventers and two filler matches. Diesel with the win was best, looking interested with In Your House coming up, Vader's attack of Shawn Michaels was nice but I'm annoyed that Owen Hart didn't play a role, or Camp Cornette at all. Is Jim Cornette not associated with Vader? Meh, alright start I suppose, really poor beginning though.
WWF Superstars of Wrestling: Sunday 28th January 1996...Savio Vega beating Brooklyn Brawler is fine, not bad. Jeff Jarrett beating Bob Holly was fine, glad to see Jarrett get somewhere here. I hope to see him more often with a nice push. Nice interview with the Ringmaster, and then the idea of promoting the Smoking Gunns too. The Headshrinkers weren't about to lose to the Bushwackers on route to the WWF Tag Team Championships. Bushwackers were on their way out, too. Razor Ramon needs to feud with Goldust again soon, nice win against Kama, and Kama should stay credible, I liked him. Better than RAW, this show.
WWF Monday Night RAW: Monday 29th January 1996...The Smoking Gunns and the Godwinns had a nice match, pretty solid and made Billy and Bart look credible against the Headshrinkers. Only complaint is that both teams are faces, and this match should have been built a little bit. You're a little too generous with the star ratings. Ahmed Johnson and Goldust should have a terrible match at In Your House, but I suppose you are building for WrestleMania XII for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. I just wish you had followed the storyline after Royal Rumble and not just forgotten it. The Ringmaster beating Hakushi was obvious, you are really building him. I wonder what the motivation is about. Hakushi is a man that should still be doing good things. Shawn Michaels' promo was nice, looking forward to what we have with Vader and Shawn at In Your House. Razor Ramon and Tatanka was a big match. 'Surprisingly, this was not a complete squash'. Well duh, Tatanka is a credible wrestler and representative of the Million Dollar Corporation. Ramon feuding with them is a good idea though, as Razor was stabbed in the back by 1-2-3 Kid turning on him to join Ted Dibiase's faction. Nice segment with Camp Cornette, another big main event it seems. Hunter Hearst Helmsley beating Duke Droese is fine, a bit big still though. Nice interview with Diesel at Bret Hart. Shawn Michaels beating Owen Hart is a big main event, liked the finish but you're making Vader look maybe too relentless on getting his hands on HBK. Overall, this week was an improvement, but you're not using half of your roster to a good standard, and that's what is hurting things. Also, the massive RAW main events isn't too good, you should also keep the big matches down to a minimal honestly. Keep in mind RAW was an hour long show, too, and five matches is too much, hell, four matches is risky.
