WWF RAW IS WAR... AGAIN! Awesome that this is back, even though I was enjoying your WCW. Great way to kick off the show with the Corporation and the Brothers of Destruction in the ring. Great match made by Vince with Kane and 'Taker going at it for the title. Interesting segment with Vince and Undertaker, I wonder what McMahon's up to? Nice match to kick off the in ring action with Owen Hart taking on Steven Regal. Oh wow, Davey Boy! The Harts going up against the Corporation is great. Huge match for HeAT. Alright contest between D-Lo Brown and Dustin Runnels, much needed win for D-Lo. Intrigued by Terri's involvement in this. Jacqueline and Sable going at it tonight for the title is great, expecting a screwy finish however. Awesome, no pun intended, promo between Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold. Retirement angle is nice, but I hope it's just an angle, I loved that HBK was back in action in this diary. Austin and Awesome booked for a match at Judgment Day is great, classic Austin giving out the Stunners too. Fine win for Test over Val Venis, I guess. Liked the post match stuff with Lawler, King and Test next week has the potential to be good. Wow, unexpected for Terri to join the Corporation. Enjoyed the brawl between Dustin and Bossman too, even I can't imagine their matches being anything special. Great segment between DX and the Corporation, intrigued to see who attacked Chyna. The Intercontinental Championship match breaking down into utter chaos was expected, still good nonetheless. Decent match with Sabu and Jeff Jarrett, not too much to comment on besides Sabu threatening Debra with the guitar. Kane going crazy back in the locker room was great stuff. Expected for the Woman's Championship bout to go down dirty, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Enjoyed the match between Awesome and Shamrock, Awesome came out looking great. Lastly, fantastic main event to close out the show and I loved the Mankind involvement. I can see Mankind getting the title shot at Judgment Day, but I wonder where this leaves Undertaker. Overall, it was a good 1998 show, glad this is back!

THE BRIT REPORT[/color][/size] Presented by Mike Potter on Thursday 1st October 1998[/size]
-- You can see my review of Sunday Night HeAT and RAW is WAR here.
-- Kaz Hayashi of former WCW fame has officially signed with the WWF. In addition, Tori (Terri Poch) debuted at Breakdown last Sunday as Terri made her return to the company. Tori is expected to become the female representative of the Corporation in upcoming weeks, whilst Terri Runnels (the former Marlena) has formed a front on RAW to oppose her storyline ex-husband Dustin Runnels. Kaz Hayashi will probably debut at the premiere of Super Astros.
-- Speaking of WWF Super Astros, the show debuts on Saturday, October 17th 1998 at 10/11 Eastern. This is prior to Shotgun Saturday Night, and will be a sixty minute program featuring light heavyweight stars of the World Wrestling Federation and perhaps lower card wrestlers.
-- There is a rumour that D-Generation X will finally disband at the Survivor Series in November.
-- WCW Monday Nitro won the ratings war this week with a 4.5 to the WWF's RAW rating of 4.0.
-- Paul Bearer is taking time off to heal from aching pains brought on through years of managing, and after a bump at a house show in August where he fell awkwardly from the ring apron and damaged his hamstring. In this time, Kane is expected to have a speaking role, and so we can expect to hear his first words in time.
-- Vader has finally parted ways with the World Wrestling Federation. He will be written out of storylines after that attack from Mike Awesome and the Big Bossman. Vader has wanted to leave since July, but was promised to be given a push to see how satisfied he was. Still unsatisfied, Vader made the decision to leave sometime during the week before Breakdown.

Again, bear with me. A nice opening segment with the Corporation coming off of Breakdown. Didn't like Undertaker using "love" when talking about Kane, though. The WWF Championship match set for tonight is huge, and interesting with it being deemed Kane's initiation. Decent opening contest with Owen Hart gaining the disqualification victory over Steven Regal. The involvement from Jarrett was fine, coming to the aid of a fellow Corporation member, and the save from Davey Boy was certainly interesting. Another player in the war against the Corporation, it seems. A nice victory for D-Lo Brown to bounce back from his Intercontinental Championship loss last night. Aw, Shawn lost his smile again. After how dominant Mike Awesome looked like last night, I'm not liking how quickly Austin took him out. Makes him look like a bitch. Love the announcement for a math between the two at Judgement Day: In Your House, though. Excited for that. Good victory for Test here, and f*ck yeah! Lawler! I can't imagine him and Test next week having a happy ending. Loved the segment with D-X and the Nation, fantastically written in terms of comedy. I imagine Rock's bluffing when he says he knows the identity of Chyna's attacker, but it does set up the following match nicely. The no contest finish with the brawl was the best way to go, very interested in seeing where everything goes from here with the two factions. Creative finish here with the Jarrett/Sabu match, allows Van Dam and Sabu to get some revenge without making Jarrett look weak. Decent Women's Championship defense for Jacqueline against Sable. The unit of Jacqueline and Luna is interesting as we build to the eventual and inevitable title reign of Sable. Shocking victory for Ken Shamrock here, but made sense with the tease of Austin. And lastly, a decent WWF Championship match with no clear winner after Mankind's involvement. He certainly came out of this strong, standing tall over the two Brothers. A good show, maybe not the best reply though as I'm a bit rusty in this diary.

| WWF HeAT: Sunday 4th October 1998 |
[/b][/color][/font][/td][/tr][tr][td] East Lansing, Michigan - Breslin, Arena [/center][/b][/color][/td][/tr][/table] The opening video package for Sunday Night HeAT aired, and we go to the Joe Louis Arena for HeAT, Michael Cole and Shane McMahon welcoming us to the show and reviewing what happened last Sunday night at Breakdown: In Your House as well as RAW is WAR this past Monday night.
The theme of Mankind hit and out came the deranged one, the crowd cheering loudly as Mankind carried a steel chair and a garbage can, Mankind making his way to the ring and taking a microphone, then seating himself in the corner to talk about how people are talking and talking about conspiracy theories in the world today, but here in 1998 he has been the victim of a load of conspiracy in the World Wrestling Federation! Mankind tells everybody that he has been waiting and waiting for a WWF Championship opportunity, and he had one last Sunday and failed! And he cannot really blame himself for that, because of the Brothers of Destruction. He has had enough of all of this bullsh*t, because he is going to remain standing until he finally has the WWF Championship in his hands! The crowd booing however, as Mr McMahon made his way out to the East Lansing crowd to loud boos, the Chairman talking about how Mankind really wants this WWF Championship opportunity. So he has a great idea, and that idea is for tomorrow night on RAW is WAR, Mankind will take on the Undertaker, and the winner will go straight to Judgment Day in two weeks to take on the "Big Red Machine" Kane! And there MUST be a winner. The crowd cheered as McMahon then said how he will be in the corner of the "Lord of Darkness", so Mankind better bring his A-game, because Undertaker will most definitely kick what is left of Mankind's torn apart ass tomorrow on RAW! The crowd booed as McMahon left, Mankind picking up his steel chair and heading up the rampway after McMahon!
-- Commercial Break --
1) Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart vs Steven Regal and Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] This all started this past Monday night on RAW is WAR when the "Black Hart" took on the "Lord of Lords" Steven Regal and Jeff Jarrett got himself involved, Davey Boy Smith then making his return for the first time in eleven months, Davey hell bent on getting revenge for Owen Hart. Owen and Jarrett started, these two having many encounters dating back to the summer, as "Double J" was wrestled in circles by the WWF European Champion. Jarrett soon got in a cheap shot and started taking control, Jarrett and Regal working over the WWF European Champion. Davey Boy finally got the hot tag and he ran in, Smith powering through both Corporation members. Smith picked up Regal and gave him the Running Powerslam, covering for the three! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winners: Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith @ 5:04 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] The crowd cheered as Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith celebrated their victory side by side, and Davey handed his brother-in-law the WWF European Championship, raising his hand high. -- Commercial Break --We see Al Snow in the backstage area as he was shown talking to Tori about how her debut was so good last Sunday night at Breakdown, and how she should have won the WWF Womens Championship. Tori thanked him, but looked disgusted. Snow then said he wanted to ask her something, stuttering. He asked Tori if she liked Head! Snow yelled it and he held up Head as Tori looked disgusted, slapping Snow and running away! Snow grinned hilariously. 2) WWF Tag Team Championships: Mark Henry and The Godfather vs The Headbangers |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Actually more competitive than expected as this crowd expected that "Sexual Chocolate" and the Godfather would simply annihilate the two Headbangers, Mosh and Thrasher. But that was not the case as Mosh and Thrasher used their agility to pick up speed and they managed to catch Godfather off-guard, several stereo dropkicks to send Godfather down. But when Mosh tried a Stage Dive, Godfather caught him with an almighty powerbomb and Mark Henry then got the tag, stomping away at Mosh. The two Nation members continued to work over Mosh and kept him isolated from Thrasher as this crowd were really getting into Thrasher. Thrasher soon cheated to help Mosh gain momentum, missile dropkick sending Henry down illegally! Mosh reached and tagged in Thrasher as he ran in and came off the top with a top rope legdrop, connecting just for Edge, Christian and Gangrel to come through the crowd, Gangrel distracting the referee as Christian came in and dropped Thrasher with the Unprettier! Edge speared Mosh down outside of the ring, and Mark Henry got back up and hit the Big Splash on Thrasher, securing the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner and STILL WWF Tag Team Champions: Mark Henry and The Godfather @ 4:22 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Mark Henry and the Godfather celebrated their win as the Nation had successfully defended their WWF Tag Team Championships here tonight on HeAT. The Headbangers remained down as Edge, Gangrel and Christian stood in the ring, looking towards the rafters and suddenly the lights flickered, when returning the Headbangers had suffered a bloodbath! The trio had disappeared. -- Commercial Break --We return to HeAT as Christian, Gangrel and Edge were shown standing by with Kevin Kelly, Kelly asking Gangrel the leader for why they have formed to attack the Headbangers. Gangrel told Kelly that it is simple. They are three spirits that are superior to all others, but have been given little opportunity! Gangrel says how the Brood formed for dominance. And there is a bigger picture, that bigger picture will be revealed once all has been destroyed! The trio leave silently. 3) Steve Blackman vs Tiger Ali Singh |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] An interesting match as these two had an incident on Monday night during RAW is WAR in which the "Lethal Weapon" interrupted an interview with Tiger Ali Singh. These two had their match set up for tonight, and here we are. The "Lethal Weapon" did whatever it took to outrun the larger Ali Singh, Singh with several power moves to take Blackman down, belly-to-back suplees here and there. Singh went for the Hangman's Neckbreaker but Blackman slipped out, then taking Singh down with a legsweep. Blackman used his athletic feet to stun Singh, as Blackman nailed Singh with the Martial Arts Kick, securing a near fall. Blackman was angry as he went for the dragon sleeper guillotine choke, Singh managing to break out to the surprise of everyone. Singh got back up and went for another Hangman's Neckbreaker, but Blackman slipped out again and clocked Singh with another martial arts kick, getting the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Steve Blackman @ 4:13 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Steve Blackman celebrated his win to loud cheers, the "Lethal Weapon" beginning to leave before the Jackyl came from the backstage area, meeting Blackman on the rampway, and Blackman left with Jackyl! What was this all about? We see Ken Shamrock making his way down a corridor, and in our main event, the "World's Most Dangerous Man" will go one-on-one with the WWF Champion, Kane in non-title action! -- Commercial Break --4) Non-Title Match: Kane vs Ken Shamrock |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A heavy handed main event as the "World's Most Dangerous Man" came up with the win last Monday night against Mike Awesome, but this was a whole different story as the "Big Red Machine" took him on with his enormous size. Shamrock was quick on his feet, hard kicks to Kane, but once the WWF Champion got a grip on Shamrock, he started throwing him around the ring like a ragged doll. Kane seemed invulnerable as the "World's Most Dangerous Man" tried to regain momentum, cutting Kane off of his feet and working away at the ankles, the Ankle Lock was applied and Kane continued to struggle in the hold, but the Undertaker then powered to the ring, coming to help his brother Kane, just for Mankind to come through the crowd with that steel chair, giving the "Lord of Darkness" a shot over the skull! Shamrock had Kane stuck in the hold but Kane stood up and grabbed Shamrock by the throat. Kane gave Shamrock a Chokeslam to secure the victory. [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Kane @ 5:53 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Kane celebrated his win as the crowd booed, the "Big Red Machine" limping off his ankle and taking the WWF Championship, and Kane entered a brawl with Undertaker and Mankind! Mr McMahon came to ringside to try and get involved, as HeAT went off the air![/font][/center]

This is another diary that I've been following for a while and only now have been able to comment on. And you've got some really good stuff here and I'm glad you're finally updating it. Some things:
- I'm glad Kane's getting a real run with the WWF Championship, and not that meaningless 24-hour title reign resulting from the bookers painting themselves into a corner.
- I'm surprised by all the ECW guys you've brought in (RVD, Sabu, Mike Awesome) but it looks like they're getting some nice puches so it's all good.
- Austin vs. Awesome should be a great match. Looking forward to it.

| WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 5th October 1998 |
[/b][/color][/font][/td][/tr][tr][td] East Lansing, Michigan - Breslin Arena [/center][/b][/color][/td][/tr][/table] A replay from last Monday night on RAW is WAR was shown as the Undertaker and Kane fought in the main event for Kane's WWF Championship, a lot of respect between the Brothers of Destruction, but Mr McMahon wanted 'Taker to turn on Kane for the Corporation. Kane won after interference from Mankind, and on HeAT it was shown after a match between Ken Shamrock and Kane that Mankind was ready for another title shot! McMahon signed 'Taker vs Mankind one more time for tonight. The opening video package to RAW is WAR aired, and we cut to the Bresline Arena in East Lansing, where Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcomed us to the show.
1) WWF Intercontinental Championship - Steel Cage Match: Triple H (c) vs D-Lo Brown |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A hard-hitting rematch from Breakdown eight days ago on pay-per-view, as the new WWF Intercontinental Champion Triple H defended against the man cashing in on his rematch clause, D-Lo Brown. And Brown was content on making this work, Triple H and D-Lo fighting in a no-interference situation in the confounds of the fifteen foot high steel cage. Brown worked over the leg of Triple H, managing to catch him in the tree of woe at one point, Hunter then firing back and giving Brown a spinebuster from the top rope! Hunter tried to make the escape but Rikishi Phatu was at ringside, and he slammed the door shut on Hunter's head! The D-Generation X leader was outmatched two-on-one by the Nation in this escape only environment, and Brown continued to hammer away at Hunter, managing to drop him with the Sky High! D-Lo went to climb the cage, but X-Pac ran to the ring, scaling the cage wall and knocking Brown back down into the ring! X-Pac and Phatu exchanged blows as Hunter nailed D-Lo with a Pedigree, escaping successfully! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner and STILL WWF Intercontinental Champion: Triple H @ 8:24 [**1/2] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Triple H celebrated his win as he picked up the WWF Intercontinental Championship and started to walk up the rampway, then getting jumped by the Rock with a steel chair! The crowd booed as the leader of the Nation had just clocked the leader of D-Generation X! Rock gave Hunter the Rock Bottom on the rampway before X-Pac managed to run him off, aiding to his best friend. -- Commercial Break --We return to RAW is WAR as Mr McMahon was shown walking through a corridor, the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation still to make some comments later tonight. The crowd roared as Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme hit, and the "Texas Rattlesnake" made his way out to the ring, Austin climbing into the ring and telling everybody that he was not out here for a joke, this week he's decided that while Mike Awesome is in his way, there is no chance in hell of Stone Cold getting his hands back on the WWF Championship! Austin tells us that he would really appreciate it if Shawn Michaels get his ass out here, because he has something to say that he could really appreciate saying without his dumbass puppet pal, Mike Awesome with him. With that, Mr McMahon made his way out to the ring to loud boos, Austin telling McMahon that this doesn't concern him. The Chairman begs to differ, telling Austin to remind himself who he is talking to. Austin laughs, asking McMahon who he thinks he is. Austin can kick McMahon's ass right here and now and get a kick out of it. So if McMahon wants to get involved in his business, then how about Austin prove to Mike Awesome and everybody out here that he will kick Vince's ass exactly like he will Mike Awesome's. McMahon tells Austin to repeat that joke, because he didn't understand it. Vince told Austin that he may not have beaten him before, but if Stone Cold is so attention seeking, he'd be happy to show him a thing or two in that ring tonight. Austin tells Vince that he will see him out here in forty five minutes, and if McMahon isn't ready, then he's going right to the back and dragging his ass out by his silly ass collar! We go to the backstage area as Al Snow was shown standing with Michael Cole, and Cole asks Snow about his bizarre behavior in recent weeks on WWF television. Snow talks about how he has been trying to get Head a girlfriend, but nobody wants Head, and it makes him oh so angry! And now he hears that this trio of the Brood really want Head to be baptized in blood? He ain't having it! He calls the three a bunch of freak weirdos, and that tonight, someone would get Head...in the head! -- Commercial Break --We go to the backstage area as Triple H was helped back to the locker room by X-Pac and Road Dogg, Billy Gunn talking about how he was angry about how the Nation is really trying to hunt down and deteriorate D-Generation X with injuries; he isn't allowing it. Tonight he's going out there to face the Rock, and after that, the New Age Outlaws are going to bring back home the WWF Tag Team Championships! 2) Al Snow vs Christian (w/Edge and Gangrel) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] It seemed very likely that Al Snow would be at odds during this match, what with Edge and Gangrel also being at ringside. Sure enough, Gangrel distracted the official at two points in this match. It was revealed that Shotgun Saturday Night's main event this weekend would feature Edge and Gangrel taking on the Headbangers, two men that were given a bloodbath by the Brood last night on HeAT. Snow managed to still gain the upper hand of Christian though, Christian continuously pounded on and Snow managed to drop Christian with an outstanding hurricanrana. Christian used his athleticism and agility as well however, Christian soon setting up for the Unprettier, but the mysterious one was given a backdrop instead! Snow prepared the Snowplow just for Gangrel to distract the official, and Edge came in with a spear to Snow! Christian dropped a half senton and covered for the win. [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Christian @ 4:48 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Christian celebrated his win to loud boos, Gangrel and Edge standing in the ring, Gangrel holding Head, and he slammed Head into the head of Al Snow! The Brood stood over Snow and Head before setting up the bloodbath, and it covered Snow and Head! The Brood stood, satisfied before the Headbangers hit the ring, and the Brood disappeared into the sea of the crowd in East Mansing! In the backstage area, Owen Hart was shown with Davey Boy Smith as he was warming up, and he does battle with the Big Bossman next! Davey Boy left his locker room to head to the ring, we cut to a commercial. -- Commercial Break --We cut to the backstage area where the Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation was shown talking to the "Gladiator" Mike Awesome, Shawn telling Mike that on October 18th, the entire Corporation is depending on him to take out the "Texas Rattlesnake". Awesome screams to HBK, telling him that he has had enough of hearing about what Stone Cold Steve Austin was doing! No matter what Awesome did, Stone Cold would always be the superior. Mike Awesome isn't here to let people overshadow him. Mike Awesome IS the show. And he will destroy Austin. And one day he will happily represent the Corporation as the WWF Champion! 3) The Big Bossman (w/Terri Runnels) vs Davey Boy Smith |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A hard-hitting match expected here as you had to think about what Dustin Runnels was thinking as his ex-wife Terri paraded around in almost bra and panties with the Big Bossman and the Corporation. Davey Boy Smith set out to oppose the Corporation for all that Mr McMahon and his goons did to Bret Hart, but also to get retribution after all of the hell McMahon put Davey Boy through legally to allow release to Smith. Smith tossed Bossman around despite the Bossman being larger than him to the surprise of many, and Bossman seemed intimidated. Bossman got in some cheap shots however, and he started to stomp right away at Davey Boy. Bossman finally prepared the Bossman Slam but Davey Boy blocked it off, Smith giving Bossman the Running Powerslam, but Bossman rolled out of the ring! Bossman got himself counted out. [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Davey Boy Smith by count-out @ 4:21 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] The Big Bossman hugged Terri Runnels as the duo began to back up the rampway when suddenly the theme of Goldust hit, and the lights went out! Goldust was heard and golden tickertape fell from the rafters here in the Breslin Arena! Goldust told us he was coming back at Judgment Day, and October 18th would be Bossman and Terri's Judgment Day. The "Lord of Darkness" was shown in the backstage area with Mr McMahon as the Undertaker told Vince that he's not doing the smart thing taking on Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight. Vince tells the Undertaker that he's not doing the smart thing still being on good terms with the "Big Red Machine" Kane. Undertaker laughs, telling McMahon that he can't decide yet which he wants more, but when it comes to the WWF Championship, he will murder ANYONE, and he means anyone, to get what he deserves. -- Commercial Break --4) X-Pac (w/Road Dogg) vs The Godfather (w/Mark Henry) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Road Dogg managed X-Pac this week after suffering a minor injury at Breakdown eight days ago. X-Pac was out here to take on one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions, but Jesse James accompanied X-Pac to the ring to even things up as Godfather had "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry and the Nation's Hos with them at ringside. X-Pac caught Godfather off-guard with plenty of armdrags and kicks, Godfather trying to speed up just for X-Pac to get quicker. The Godfather soon caught X-Pac off-guard and Godfather prepared a running splash in the corner known as the 'Ho Train', Godfather connecting and then giving X-Pac a pumphandle slam for a near fall. X-Pac was set up for the Pimp Drop but X-Pac slipped out and Road Dogg slammed a steel chair into the head of Mark Henry at ringside! X-Pac gave Godfather the X-Factor for the win. [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: X-Pac @ 5:10 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] X-Pac celebrated his win to loud cheers, as Road Dogg climbed into the ring, slamming the steel chair over the skull of The Godfather as well! Road Dogg talked about how he never really got that rematch with Bad Ass Billy Gunn, and the last thing he wants is for the Nation to ride off into that sweet sunset with the WWF Tag Team Championships intact. Road Dogg reveals that we will see the New Age Outlaws face Mark Henry and The Godfather at Judgment Day for the belts, and if they're not down with that, they've got two words for them! In the backstage area we see Val Venis walking down a corridor until he noticed Tori. The "Big Valbowski" told her that she has a pretty nice set, but how about Val Venis lets her take a ride on his total package. Tori seems quite excited by him, as Val convinces Tori to come...out to his hotel room later tonight. Tori giggles and accepts. The "Texas Rattlesnake" was shown making his way down a corridor, and in just a few minutes, Stone Cold Steve Austin would take on the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr McMahon! And it's all up next! -- Commercial Break --We return to the backstage area as Mankind was shown in the boiler room, Mankind confronted by Ken Shamrock, as the "World's Most Dangerous Man" came to wish Mankind luck in the main event, then asking him for the first WWF Championship shot once Mankind became champ. He also promised Mankind that if any other member of the Corporation got involved, he would take them out no sweat. Mankind thanked him, Shamrock reminding Mankind of their agreement. 5) Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] You had to believe that Mr McMahon was intimidated of Stone Cold Steve Austin, but felt that pride drove him into this match. The "Texas Rattlesnake" laid McMahon out in one punch, then dove at McMahon with a Lou Thesz press, Austin continuing to pound on McMahon until he started bleeding! Austin wrapped her legs around the ring post and swung them into the ring post several times before the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation found himself cowering, pleading for Austin to put down a steel chair as Austin threatened to sandwich McMahon's leg between the chair and ring post! But Austin slammed the chair right into the leg anyway! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Vince McMahon @ 2:47 by disqualification [N/A] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Mr McMahon rived in pain, blood trickling from his face as Stone Cold Steve Austin swung several more times into the leg, the "Texas Rattlesnake" sadistic and Austin suddenly laid out a referee with a clothesline! Austin wanted revenge for all McMahon had done to him in the past, and Austin yelled, wanting Mike Awesome out here right now! The "Gladiator" came out onto the rampway, ready to battle but the Commissioner, Shawn Michaels blocked his route! Awesome yelled, telling the son of a bitch Austin that he'd see him at Judgment Day in two weeks. -- Commercial Break --We see a replay of the tragic Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr McMahon match we saw just moments ago, and went to live footage of EMTs and members of the Corporation helping the Chairman onto a stretcher and watching as he was placed into an ambulance and driven away to a nearby hospital. We were told we would get updates as the announcers received them. 6) Test (w/Shane McMahon) vs Jerry Lawler |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A back and forth match, as the "King" finally got in the right with the hired gun of the Corporation, and you could not imagine what was going through the mind of both Test and Shane McMahon after the Chairman of this company had been wheeled out on a stretcher thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Jerry wanted revenge for Jim Ross after weeks of insulting his physical appearance, and Lawler gave Test a good whooping, clotheslines and flying clotheslines out of every possible angle. Test however managed to in return work over Jerry. Lawler fought back though, preparing the Piledriver but Shane McMahon was shown at ringside grabbing the lonesome commentator J.R. by the head and yelling for Jerry to sacrifice himself for his so-called best friend! Jerry went after Shane but Test turned him around and dropped him with the pumphandle slam for the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Test @ 3:53 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Test celebrated his win as Jerry Lawler was laid out on the canvas, and Shane McMahon rammed the microphone into Jim Ross's head! The crowd booed as Shane spoke about how it looks like him and Test are obviously plenty better than good old J.R. and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Shane offered J.R. a wager, and that was a tag team match with "Shane O'Mac" and Test taking on our 'lovely' RAW announce team at Judgment Day with the spot of Jim Ross's "Play by Play announcer" role up for grabs! J.R. stood back up, shoving Shane on his ass and accepting! -- Commercial Break --Mike Awesome was suddenly shown in the parking lot trading blows with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels also in the crowd as they were surrounded by the entire staff roster in the World Wrestling Federation trying to seperate the "Texas Rattlesnake" and the "Gladiator"! 7) The Rock vs Billy Gunn (w/Road Dogg) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] With Road Dogg accompanying Billy Gunn, it seemed quite unlikely that the "Brahma Bull" stood too much a chance, especially when the "Bad Ass" blonde proved Rock wrong, and it was revealed that the Rock had underestimated the New Age Outlaw. Billy and Jesse James wanted the WWF Tag Team Championships back, and they were damned if they weren't going to get their rematch, as Gunn proved himself as a credible force, trading blows with Rock. He outsmarted Rock several times too, Gunn wanting to near in on the Fame Asser just for Rock to pull out. Triple H came out to have a look as Rock took his eye off of the ball for a moment to glare at the WWF Intercontinental Champion standing on the stage, and out of nowhere Gunn connected with the Fame Asser for the three! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Billy Gunn @ 4:43 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Billy Gunn celebrated his win as the crowd cheered loudly, the New Age Outlaws celebrating, and suddenly Triple H came sprinting down to the ring, slamming the steel chair right into the skull of the Rock! The WWF Intercontinental Champion picked up a microphone and let Rock know that he knew it was Rock that attacked Chyna at Breakdown, and that is why in two weeks, Rock better watch his back when he gets in the ring with "The Game"! Hunter just called out the Nation leader, and D-Generation X had had a pretty clean sweep against the Nation tonight. We were updated on the status of Mr McMahon, and it was revealed that he suffered a broken leg at the hands of the multiple chair shots from Stone Cold Steve Austin. McMahon will be on live satellite on RAW is WAR next week to discuss this situation. -- Commercial Break --Mike Awesome was shown yelling and kicking off a storm in the locker room backstage, Shawn Michaels trying to calm him down, motivating him for the match against Stone Cold Steve Austin at Judgment Day. The "Gladiator" told Michaels that Austin needs to be taught a lesson, it's Awesome's time, not Michaels'! Suddenly, Ken Shamrock intervened himself in the discussion, telling Awesome to quit his bitching and get back in the ring with the "World's Most Dangerous Man"! Awesome agreed to it, telling Shamrock that he'd happily sprain his spine on that canvas with an Awesome Bomb next week. Kane was shown standing by with Kevin Kelly, as Kelly asked Kane where he stood in between Mankind and the Undertaker. Kane just continued to watch the television monitor, as Mankind and the "Phenom" fight for the WWF Championship opportunity, next! An advertisement aired, promoting the next WWF pay-per-view, Judgment Day: In Your House, live on Sunday, October 18th 1998 from Chicago, Illinois. 8) #1 Contenders Match: Mankind vs The Undertaker |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Another addition to their almighty war for the better man. Mankind still hasn't learnt from past mistakes, but neither has the "Lord of Darkness", as him and Mankind went at it like two delusional bulls right before our eyes. The winner of this match would meet Kane live on pay-per-view in two weeks at Judgment Day for the WWF Championship, but neither man wanted to back down, Mankind didn't even plan on risking disqualification. The "Deadman" applied a triangle choke at one point and Mankind started drifting for once, Mankind finally breaking free and sending 'Taker down and out with a double-arm DDT. The fans cheered Mankind as the "Corporate Phenom" continued to get back up and fight, Undertaker finally giving Mankind a ferocious Chokeslam! Kane's pyrotechnics went off and Kane came out to the ring, and Undertaker looked confused as to why the "Big Red Machine" was out here. Mankind then took 'Taker from behind with the rollup and had a hold of the tights, the referee counting it! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Mankind @ 8:44 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Mankind celebrated his win before Kane got into the ring, going right at it with Mankind! Kane and Mankind, two men set to go at it at Judgment Day in two weeks for the WWF Championship were going at it now, and as the Undertaker stood at ringside, watching and praying that Kane would lose the WWF title on October 18th for his future with the Corporation! Suddenly though, Steven Regal, Jeff Jarrett, Big Bossman and Test all headed to the ring, beating up on both the "Big Red Machine" but also Mankind! The Undertaker watched from the rampway before deciding to side with his brother, heading into the ring and clearing house of his own supposed teammates! Double Chokeslam for Regal and Jarrett, Bossman given a Tombstone and Test clotheslined over the top! 'Taker then gave Mankind the Tombstone, Undertaker standing tall with his brother Kane; 'Taker going to have to choose between the Brothers of Destruction and the Corporation one day soon! RAW is WAR went off the air.[/font][/center]

My thoughts on the 10/5 Raw:
- Good cage match between Triple H and D'Lo that should wrap up their feud, and now Triple H has to deal with The Rock himself. That should be a good match once they meet.
- I see you brought the Biritsh Bulldog back to the WWF. Hopefully he gets a decent run here. Goldust is back and feuding with the Big Bossman? That makes more sense than the Goldust/Val feud in the real world, since we can tell who the face and heel is.
- You're doing a good job setting up the Austin/Awesome match for the pay-per-view with all the heated confrontations between the two sides on the show. Once the match arrives it should be an intesne war. I guess Austin beating Vince down is going to result in him being in the wheelchair.
- I'm not so sold about the JR/Lawler vs. Test/Shane match, since we saw what happened when JR and Lawler went against Coachman and Snow. Just have to see how it plays out, I suppose.
- The Rock jobs to Billy Gunn? We'll at least it wasn't 100% clean so I guess that gets a pass.
- Nice main event and we should get a good match between Mankind and Kane at the -pay-per-view, though I can see The Undertaker getting involved somehow.
- Justin Credible coming to the WWF? Interesting.
Overall a good show and I'm looking forward to Judgment Day.

I never do this diary justice when I reply, same with Penguin's. So instead of running through and saying how wonderful every match is, I'll just do quick replies from now on so you know I'm reading. Just not extremely clued up when it comes to the Attitude Era, beyond anything important that happened.
I think it's obvious that Triple H would retain the Intercontinental Championship here, but the D-Generation X/Nation of Domination feud intrigues me. Stone Cold versus Mr. McMahon in the middle of Raw? I trust your booking, but that seems crazy. Mike Awesome's involvement in this diary has been fantastic, loving this rivalry with Austin. Expected that DX would get their revenge on the Nation later on with Triple H assaulting The Rock. The finish was good, although I somehow can't envision Manking rolling up The Undertaker, lmao. I hope Undertaker chooses Kane, because the Brothers of Destruction are always fun to watch, especially during this time period. They'd rip it up like crazy. Enjoyable RAW for sure, I'll be keeping up with this from now on.

| WWF HeAT: Sunday 11th October 1998 |
[/b][/color][/font][/td][/tr][tr][td] East Lansing, Michigan - Breslin Arena [/center][/b][/color][/td][/tr][/table] The opening video package aired, and we cut to the Breslin Arena for Sunday Night HeAT! Kevin Kelly and Shane McMahon welcomed us to the show and reviewed what happened last Monday night on RAW is WAR before hyping up our main event, under orders of Mr McMahon, who we will also hear from tonight, Stone Cold Steve Austin takes on Jeff Jarrett tonight, no disqualification rules!
The crowd booed as the theme of the Commissioner hit, and out came the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Michaels accompanied by Mike Awesome who is scheduled to take on Ken Shamrock tomorrow night on RAW is WAR. Michaels climbed into the ring to 'bunghole' chants, as Shawn tells the fans to shut their mouths, because none of these fans ever helped him get where he was this time last year! HBK states how he is out here under orders of the Chairman, the crippled Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation. And who is it that injured him? Stone Cold Steve Austin: the same man that made the "Heartbreak Kid" retire! Shawn talked about how this is mere ammunition for why Mike Awesome must destroy the "Texas Rattlesnake". Before all is lost and this company resorts to Stone Cold being its leader! But the real leader of the World Wrestling Federation headed into the new millenium is really Mike Awesome! Mike Awesome then took the microphone, talking about how far he has come, he got signed by the WWF for his raw animal ability, and they loved it. Vince loved it. Shawn loved it. And he told them that he was here to support the Corporation from all adversaries, and he's had his eyes on Austin for a long time! Stone Cold is a mere flash in the pan bunghole that needs an Awesome Bomb. Awesome vows that in seven days, he will get the Awesome Bomb. Awesome will destroy him. The crowd booed, Awesome and Michaels leaving.
-- Commercial Break --
An advertisement aired, showcasing the next WWE pay-per-view event, Judgment Day: In Your House live next week from Chicago, Illinois.
A recap of last night's great Super Astros debut aired on USA Network, as it showed the sort of outstanding action we saw on that program, Sabu defeating Tom Brandi in a great surprise, Yoshihiro Tajiri challenging Abismo Negro in a losing effort, plus we even saw Sable and Luna battle in an arm wrestling challenge. We are told to tune in every week from 11PM every Saturday.
1) Prince Albert (w/Darren Drozdov) vs Val Venis (w/Tori) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Prince Albert took on the "Big Valbowski" as the Oddities were here tonight without the Jackyl, conspicuous for his absence. The "Big Valbowski" picked up the delicious Tori last week on RAW is WAR, Val sleeping with Tori it seems now. Venis got in several heavy hitting shots, but Albert showed a lot more power, Albert tossing Venis around and choking him out in the corner. Albert soon prepared for the torture rack slam just for Venis to slip out and fight against Albert once again. Venis set up for the Flytrap out of nowhere but Droz got on the apron. Venis took out Darren Drozdov and Tori then got in the ring, low blowing Val! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Val Venis @ 4:14 by disqualification [*3/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Val Venis fell to the canvas as Tori hugged Prince Albert, the crowd booing and Albert and Darren Drozdov had just picked up this Jezebel, Tori, the "Big Valbowski" then given the Droz Driver! The Oddities left with their new manager. The Rock was shown standing by with Michael Hayes, and Hayes asked the leader of the Nation what his intentions are for the Nation in the near future. Rock talks about how last Monday night he was beaten by Bad Ass Billy Gunn, but wouldn't it be so much better for Bad Ass to wind up with the Rock's foot up his candy ass! Rock mentions that Mark Henry is scheduled to take on Road Dogg tomorrow night on RAW, the "Brahma Bull" then telling us that since D-Lo Brown definitely failed to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship back from Triple H, the Rock will face Hunter for the belt next Sunday at Judgment Day! Rock then tells Hayes that he is not however, responsible for the attack of Triple H on Chyna. That manly bitch is too repulsive for Rock to lay a finger on. We see a clip of Mr McMahon in his hospital bed in Greenwich, and he is hooked up to a machine, his leg in a cast, and we will hear from the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation via live satellite later tonight. -- Commercial Break --Jeff Jarrett was shown standing around in the backstage area with Debra as Michael Cole was standing by, Cole asking "Double J" for some thoughts about Jarrett facing Stone Cold Steve Austin later tonight. Jarrett talks about how he's pretty damn pissed off by the "Texas Rattlesnake", but another couple of people he's been pissed off by includes Sabu and Rob Van Dam! Jarrett talks about how RVD and Sabu are two people that need to be shown their place, and Jarrett will use tonight as an example for what he is capable of towards everybody in the World Wrestling Federation. Cole asks Debra what she thought, but Jarett warned Cole, "Don't Piss Me Off". 2) Edge and Gangrel (w/Christian) vs Southern Justice |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Souther Justice started off with the power advantage, as well as the size advantage as well. Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight overpowered Edge and Gangrel, the two members of the Brood taken down repeatedly by the two dominant members of Southern Justice. Canterbury was then worked over as Gangrel used some very powerful lefts and rights to stun Canterbury. He was kept away from Knight as Knight reared the fans on in this match. Edge tried the spear but Canterbury dodged out of the way, Knight getting the tag! Knight went in and dropped Gangrel with a sidewalk slam, then dropping Edge as well with a big back body drop. Southern Justice even took out Christian! The Headbangers then arrived at ringside, attacking Christian! Gangrel was distracted by this, and he walked right into Justice Served, giving the Southern Justice the three! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Southern Justice @ 4:53 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Southern Justice celebrated their win as the Brood remained down, Edge left aiding to Christian and Gangrel. The Headbangers then entered the ring, the Stage Dive to Edge! Al Snow also ran down to the ring, giving the groggy Gangrel Head! Snow and the Headbangers had gotten revenge for their bloodbaths in recent weeks, the crowd pleased. The Big Bossman was shown with Terri Runnels, and Bossman was talking with Terri about Dustin Runnels and how he's getting pretty bored of these antics. "He's Coming"? To Bossman, that means nothing. Runnels like an evil witch tells Bossman to club him with a knightstick until there's nothing left of her ex-husband! -- Commercial Break --Mr McMahon was in his hospital bed via live satellite as we returned to Sunday Night HeAT, McMahon welcoming us to his McMahon Cam. Vince talked about how tomorrow on RAW is WAR he will also be here in the Greenwich Medical Facility, and he has an announcement for all that they will find quite shocking, regarding what happened last Monday night. McMahon then mentions something else about last Monday night. He noted how Corporation member the Undertaker showed allegiance for his brother Kane, attacking his own teammates of the Corporation. On Sunday night, October 18th at Judgment Day, Mankind challenges Kane for the WWF Championship, and he has decided that the Undertaker will be the official special referee for that match, and the "Lord of Darkness" BETTER make the right call and give us a new WWF Champion. The crowd booed as Mick Foley then popped up from the side of the bed, Mankind laughing and telling McMahon that he was being silly, letting McMahon meet "Mr Socko"! Mick Foley's sock puppet did nothing to please Vince, but it did please the fans. 3) Rob Van Dam vs Steven Regal |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A hard-hitting match for the "Lord of Lords" as he took on the "Whole F'N Show", Rob Van Dam and Steven Regal a part of a tag team rivalry that started just after SummerSlam. Van Dam got in several hard-striking kicks, Regal using his technical power to keep RVD under his control. The fans chanted 'RVD' loudly as Regal had Van Dam stuck in an STF, Regal not quite ready to prepare the Regal Stretch. Van Dam started to fight back against the "Lord of Lords", the unique monkey flip and then the Rolling Thunder giving RVD offence. Van Dam went for a split-legged moonsault but Regal dodged it, then giving RVD the bridging German suplex for the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Steven Regal @ 5:35 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Steven Regal celebrated his win to loud boos, the "Lord of Lords" pleased with what had just occurred, beating the extremist, Rob Van Dam. Regal spoke out about how it wasn't over yet though, Regal going to apply the Regal Stretch just for Van Dam to roll Regal away, then superkicking Regal in the face! Van Dam stood tall, the crowd cheering. Tiger Ali Singh was shown speaking to Starla Saxton, Singh telling Saxton that she was an amazing athlete, she must admit. She thanks him, telling him that he will be a WWF Champion one day. Starla left and Singh smiled, then turning to see the "Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. Blackman told Singh that win last night by Singh was a fluke. Tiger laughed, telling Blackman that he beat him fair and square on Shotgun Saturday Night. Blackman challenged Singh to a rubber match next Sunday night on HeAT, Singh gladly agreeing. -- Commercial Break --4) No Disqualification Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] A back and forth main event as "Double J" started off by swinging his guitar in aim of the "Texas Rattlesnake", but Stone Cold Steve Austin was too agile, snatcing the guitar from Jarrett and slamming it over the head of Jarrett! Austin tossed Jarrett out of the ring, stomping a mudhole in him at ringside, but that "Texas Rattlesnake" wasn't completely dominant as Jarrett got in a low blow and the Corporation member wasn't about to let Austin get away easy. Austin tried to fire back with lefts and rights but Jarrett had another guitar and clouted Austin over the skull with it. "Double J" and Austin continued their brawl onto the rampway as Jarrett nailed the Stroke right on the rampway, Jarrett stalling and starting to drag Austin back to the ring to get the win, but Sabu and Rob Van Dam came out, taking out Jarrett! Van Dam and Jarrett traded blows down into the pit beside the stage as Sabu suddenly came right off with a moonsault! RVD and Sabu had proved that the feud with the Corporation was not yet over! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: No Contest @ 6:52 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Stone Cold Steve Austin crawled through the curtain to the backstage area, the "Texas Rattlesnake" headed into the broadcast section through a corridor of black curtain. Austin grabbed a broadcasting engineer by the shirt and demanded to know where Mr McMahon's live satellite stream was coming from. He tossed the employee out of a door and followed him, the employee showing Austin the cable, and Austin chopped it with an axe! The fans cheered, Stone Cold heading back for the arena whilst Sunday Night HeAT went off the air.[/font][/center]

Decent episode of Heat. I had a feeling you'd still use the 'Austin chopping off Vince's satellite feed' bit from the real world and you've also combined the introduction of Mr. Socko as well. Nice job!

| WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 12th October 1998 |
[/b][/color][/font][/td][/tr][tr][td] Long Island, New York - Nassau Coliseum [/center][/b][/color][/td][/tr][/table] A replay from last Monday night on RAW is WAR aired, as it was Stone Cold Steve Austin getting into the ring to take on Mr McMahon in their third encounter. McMahon was brutalized by Austin, and Stone Cold managed to break the leg of the Chairman with the aid of a steel chair. Meanwhile, Mankind did battle with the Undertaker with Mankind gaining contention to Kane's WWF Championship at Judgment Day. However last night on HeAT, Mr McMahon via live satellite revealed that the Undertaker will officiate the match and 'will make the right decision' after 'Taker helped Kane fight off the Corporation. The opening video package for RAW is WAR aired, and we cut to the live Nassau Coliseum, six days away from Judgment Day! Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler introduce us to the show.
The crowd booed as the gong of the "Lord of Darkness" hit and out came the Undertaker. Undertaker climbed into the ring before the pyrotechnics of Kane hit, and out came the WWF Champion as well, the "Big Red Machine" and the "Deadman", the two Brothers of Destruction standing tall in the ring. The "Phenom" had a microphone and began to talk about how this Sunday at Judgment Day, he is meant to be making the right decision and that is counting Kane down and giving Mankind the win. However, as special referee this allows him to make the match any stipulation he wants. The "Phenom" says how this reflects real life, as he does what he pleases. The Corporation are enemies, they always will be. The only man that the "Deadman" respects...Vince McMahon. But that respect is running out. Kane and Undertaker stand face to face, as the "Deadman" tells Kane that he will NOT turn his back on the "Big Red Machine" this Sunday, and he swears this vow on what is left of the goodness in his heart and soul. Suddenly, the theme of D-Generation X hit and out came Triple H and X-Pac. Hunter and X-Pac did their crotch chops on the rampway before asking Kane and Undertaker what their drama was all about. Triple H talks about how Kane may be the WWF Champion, and Undertaker may be vowing against the Corporation in a complicated storyline, but the key factor is that DX are here to have fun, and tonight, they'd love it if they switch perspectives and take on these two fools in the ring! The "Deadman" laughed, telling Hunter that his own request is his own downfall!
-- Commercial Break --
The crowd cheered as the New Age Outlaws made their way to the ring, and Bad Ass Billy Gunn accompanied Road Dogg to the ring for Jesse James' match with Mark Henry tonight. They introduced themselves to the WWF fans and then told opposers of D-Generation X to suck it, Road Dogg then asking the Nation if they've got balls, and if they have balls, they will put the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line this Sunday at Judgment Day!
1) Road Dogg (w/Billy Gunn) vs Mark Henry (w/The Godfather) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] This was a hard task for the New Age Outlaw as Road Dogg Jesse James did battle with "Sexual Chocolate", and if Road Dogg was to beat Mark Henry tonight, the New Age Outlaws would be going to Judgment Day this Sunday to face the Nation for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Road Dogg used his unorthodox lefts and rights, hard-hitting ringstyle on hand but Mark Henry used his power and tossed James around the ring, splashing him in the corner and working away at the rings, "Sexual Chocolate" easing the ribs of Jesse James up ready for the Big Splash. But The Godfather and Billy Gunn then started brawling at ringside, Godfather's Hos standing to one side until one handed the Godfather a cane and he slammed it into the gut of Bad Ass Billy! Mark Henry missed the Splash and Road Dogg then went upstairs and came off with a flying elbow drop for the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Road Dogg @ 4:15 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Road Dogg celebrated his win to loud cheers until Rikishi Phatu and D-Lo Brown headed for the ring, and the entire Nation excluding the Rock had entered the ring, outnumbering the New Age Outlaws and beating up on them, Phatu preparing a Banzai Drop on Road Dogg's already weakened chest, but out came Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith as they made the save, Davey Boy with a Running Powerslam to D-Lo, Owen with an enziguri to Rikishi! The D-Generation X members shook hands with Owen and Davey Boy, a good union formed against the Nation! We see Mr McMahon live via satellite in his hospital bed still after last night's airing of Sunday Night HeAT, and tonight we will hear what his big announcement is regarding last week's episode of RAW is WAR. In the backstage area we see Jeff Jarrett and Debra meet up with Steven Regal, and the three Corporation members discussed what was going to happen tonight with Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Regal told Jarrett that they've got a match against Southern Justice, but they need to keep an eye out for RVD and Sabu. Jarrett told Regal that he can easily handle those two fat idiots, but it's RVD and Sabu that really piss him off. "Double J" will have his guitar in hand ready to swing later tonight. -- Commercial Break --2) Val Venis and Kurrgan vs The Oddities (w/Tori) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] The Oddities have previously had problems with Kurrgan, and this feud developed last night on Sunday Night HeAT when Val Venis took on Prince Albert, and Tori, Venis' swinging boyfriend turned on the "Big Valbowski" to side with the Oddities. Tori was dressed a lot more sl*ttish, and there was a suspicion that the Oddities were drugs addicts going around in the backstage area. Kurrgan tossed around Droz with ease but had some difficulty with Albert, Prince Albert with a scoop slam on Kurrgan impressing everybody in attendance. Venis gave Droz the back suplex bomb before going up top for the Money Shot, just for Tori to get on the apron trying to shove Val off, and Venis fell onto the canvas foot first, Venis dragging Tori in by the hair. He grabbed her and tore off her tank top, then thinking of ripping off her mini skirt just for Albert to come from behind, torture rack slam for the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winners: The Oddities @ 4:36 [*3/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] The Oddities celebrated their win to loud boos as Kurrgan climbed into the ring, Droz and Albert fleeing the ring in time. They then grabbed Val Venis and dragged him out of the ring, Tori putting her tank top back on and demanding that the "Big Valbowski"s "Weiner be terminated", the Oddities stealing Val from Kurrgan! In the backstage area we see Triple H standing with X-Pac, and Michael Cole is standing by as Cole asks the two D-Generation X members what their motive is when taking on the Brothers of Destruction later tonight. Hunter talks about how he is taking on the Rock for the WWF Intercontinental Championship on Sunday at Judgment Day, and he wants to personally prove to the "Brahma Bull" that his ego is so big, he can get girls and beat people up that are bigger than him. Cole then went to ask X-Pac when all of a sudden D-Lo Brown slammed X-Pac right in the spine with a steel chair! D-Lo and Hunter went at it before Rikishi attacked Triple H! The Nation had attacked DX once again, and the Rock took over on the microphone, telling Hunter that he wants to inform him that their match on Sunday will be a two out of three falls match, and D-Lo Brown wants to beat down X-Pac for costing him the WWF Intercontinental Championship and he will recognise the name 'D-Lo Brown, if you smell what the Rock is cookin'! -- Commercial Break --3) Non-Title Match: Owen Hart vs D-Lo Brown |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] This was a back and forth match brought on by the Nation's attack on the New Age Outlaws earlier tonight. Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith made the save for Billy Gunn and Road Dogg Jesse James, and the WWF European Champion took on D-Lo right here and now. Hart traded blows with Brown before Hart started mat-wrestling with Brown, working the spine of D-Lo as well as his leg. The former WWF Intercontinental Champion was given several elbow drops to the calf of the leg, D-Lo fighting back with an eye rake as well as several lefts and rights, Brown then connecting with a backbreaker followed up with a powerbomb. Brown started getting overconfident as he kicked Owen in the spine whilst groggy, Owen managing to get back into it and lay D-Lo out with an enziguri, and Hart followed up soon after with the reverse tombstone piledriver for the win! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Owen Hart @ 6:26 [**1/2] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Owen Hart celebrated his win as the WWF European Champion began to celebrate with Davey Boy Smith, whom made his way out to the ring. X-Pac then suddenly darted through the crowd, giving D-Lo a spinning heel kick and Brown scurried out of the ring! X-Pac stood tall with Hart and Smith. Mankind was shown walking through the backstage area, Mr Socko on his hand for some reason still, after 'debuting' last night on HeAT at the bedside of Mr McMahon, and Mankind was wearing a sign on his shirt that read 'future WWF Champion', staff members passing him by, and the Big Bossman confronted him with Terri Runnels, Bossman asking Mankind if he was seriously thinking he was a future WWF Champion. Mankind giggled, asking Bossman if he was a real cop, Mankind telling Bossman that he'd step in the ring later tonight to see if he was truly serious! -- Commercial Break --The glass shattered, and out came the "Texas Rattlesnake", Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold got a loud ovation as he stood in the ring before the fans in attendance and began to talk about how he's out here tonight because he's heard that Mr McMahon has an announcement about how Stone Cold broke his damn leg last week and how much of a little, whiny son of a bitch he truly is, but also to address the fans about the so-called "Gladiator", Mike Awesome. Awesome has nothing on the name of Stone Cold, and he says that he's come in here to kiss the asses of the higher ups so that he's guaranteed a shove to the WWF Championship, and also to destroy Austin. Austin says he's tougher than Awesome believes. Stone Cold has injured Shawn Michaels accidentally, he kicked his ass too much because HBK damn well pissed him off. He injured Vince McMahon accidentally, but that was because McMahon pissed him off! Mike Awesome better not piss him off, or he'll go after him and take him out as well! Suddenly, Mr McMahon interrupted Austin, telling Austin that it's a surprise to see him, but he's not here to have fun. McMahon talks about how last week Stone Cold broke his leg. Well Vince's announcement is that he, the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation will be in the Rosemont Horizon this Sunday for Judgment Day. Stone Cold Steve Austin on the other hand, McMahon resists the right to say that the "Texas Rattlesnake is FIRED! The crowd boo as Austin glared at the TitanTron in disbelief, McMahon telling security to come out and escort Austin from the Nassau Coliseum. The crowd booed, Austin still glaring at McMahon's smile on the TitanTron, Security came out but Austin instead climbed out of the ring and left through the crowd before security could escort Austin! The fans chanted his name as the announcers remained shocked. Mike Awesome's theme then hit as the crowd booed as the "Gladiator" started making his way to the ring, not wasting any time, and Awesome looked ticked off. Awesome picked up a microphone and asked who his opponent this Sunday was now. Awesome talks about how he was so hyped up to kick Stone Cold Steve Austin's sorry ass but if Austin is just gonna get fired, then he supposes that Awesome is the tougher man! He calls Austin a p*ssy, then telling Steve that he did the right thing, because this Sunday at Judgment Day, Mike Awesome now has no opponent! The theme of Ken Shamrock then hit, and out came pacing the "World's Most Dangerous Man" ready for battle! -- Commercial Break --4) Ken Shamrock vs Mike Awesome |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] We returned from the commercial break to find the "Gladiator" Mike Awesome pounding away at the chest of Ken Shamrock, Awesome with an armbar applied, arm beating into the heart of the "World's Most Dangerous Man". Shamrock started firing back though, belly-to-belly overhead suplex surprising everybody in the ring and impressing also. Ken Shamrock pounded at Awesome several times, then applying a cross armbreaker, Awesome locked in the hold for several moments until the "Gladiator" made a comeback, powerbomb to Shamrock but deciding to nail a second one just for Shamrock to reverse it into a hurricanrana! Shamrock gave Awesome the belly-to-back suplex and prepared the Ankle Lock, Awesome reaching the ropes, but Shamrock refused to let go! The "World's Most Dangerous Man" kept the hold applied as Awesome had hold of the ropes, Shamrock's rage setting in getting him disqualified! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Mike Awesome @ 7:02 by disqualification [**1/2] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Mike Awesome rolled out of the ring, limping on his one good foot, and Ken Shamrock pointed at the "Gladiator"< telling him that he was definitely the coward in this company! Awesome picked up a microphone, asking Shamrock if he wanted to go for another match, he's got nothing to do this Sunday at Judgment Day! Shamrock told Awesome that he will still snap Awesome's ankle like a damn twig! In the backstage area we see Shane McMahon and Test, and they seemed to be doing something in the backstage area to do with broadcasting, headed into the black curtain hallways near the Gorilla position and into the room full of television monitors filled with staff. McMahon told Test that he had a great idea. An advertisement aired, promoting WWF Judgment Day: In Your House, live on pay-per-view this Sunday from Chicago, Illinois. -- Commercial Break --Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler looked over the official line-up for Judgment Day this Sunday, consisting of Mankind vs Kane for the WWF Championship, and with the Undertaker as the special guest referee; Mike Awesome vs Ken Shamrock; Triple H vs The Rock in a Two out of Three Falls match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship; for the Voice of RAW is WAR position, Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross take on Shane McMahon and Test; Marilyn Manson is scheduled to perform for the live audience; plus two more matches just announced, Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs Jeff Jarrett and Steven Regal in a Hardcore tag team match; And lastly, the New Age Outlaws AND Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart all challenge for Mark Henry and the Godfather's WWF Tag Team Championships! Suddenly, their mics were cut out and audio was given to Shane McMahon and Test! 5) Steven Regal and Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) vs Southern Justice |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Steven Regal and Jeff Jarrett of the Corporation really wanted that rematch with Sabu and Rob Van Dam and they just got it. Southern Justice were no easy ticket to get through however, as "Double J" took on his native Tennessee tough guys, Jarrett trading blows with Mark Canterbury in the opening moments of this match. The "Lord of Lords" managed to get Canterbury down on the floor, Jarrett being the rough house of the team and Regal providing the spot as the agile and technical worker. The submission artist from Blackpool, England gave Canterbury an impressive double underhook suplex, Dennis Knight trying to reach for the tag when suddenly Jarrett caught him off guard and applied the figure-four leglock, Knight breaking it up and dropping Jarrett with a big back body drop! Regal and Knight exchanged blows until suddenly the Disciples of the Apocalypse came to ringside. Canterbury rolled out of the ring and tried taking on Skull and 8-Ball, the DOA and Southern Justice's feud having picked up in recent weeks. RVD then slipped in the ring, knocking Regal out with a super kick! The official declared the match a no contest. [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winners: No Contest @ 4:42 [**] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] The crowd cheered as Rob Van Dam and Sabu took out Steven Regal with a double dive from opposite turnbuckles, as Southern Justice and the Disciples of the Apocalypse brawled at ringside up the rampway. The "Whole F'N Show" and the "Arabian Nightmare" picked up the guitar of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and went to slam it over Jarrett's head just for Debra to get on the apron! RVD was distracted by Debra revealing her breasts to him and Sabu, as the "Lord of Lords" handed Jarrett a second guitar from ringside and Jarrett slammed it over the skull of RVD! Sabu swung and missed Regal, Jarrett with the Stroke on Sabu right on the guitar! These antics we can definitely expect this Sunday on pay-per-view! -- Commercial Break --Jacqueline made her way out to the ring with Luna Vachon, as these two were associated with Terri Runnels in the past, particularly at Breakdown. Jackie, the WWF Womens Champion spoke out about how Terri needs to remind herself, once a PMS always a PMS. And this stands for a Pretty Mean Sister. Luna talks about how they dominate the womens division, and there's not a damn thing Sable, Sunny, Starla, or anybody else in the World Wrestling Federation can do! Sable's theme hit at that moment, as she came out to the ring and told the Pretty Mean Sisters that the one thing they don't dominate, is good looks! Sable told the Pretty Mean Sisters group that she could find two hotter women than them and challenge them to a bikini contest live here next week on RAW is WAR! Jacqueline told Sable that she was on. 6) Mankind vs Big Bossman (w/Terri Runnels) |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Mankind and the Big Bossman traded blows as this all started earlier tonight when the Bossman said that he couldn't buy Mankind's hype as being a future WWF Champion. Mankind caught Bossman off-guard with his punches, some body shots involved, Mankind also dropping Bossman with a gutwrench suplex as well as a piledriver, Mankind running at Bossman with a furious knee to the face. Bossman fired back with several body shots of his own, the SWAT cop member of the Corporation trying to put a hurting on the number one contender to the WWF Championship. Terri continued to watch at ringside as Bossman prepared for his sidewalk slam, Mankind breaking free and clotheslining Bossman down to the canvas! Mankind pulled out Mr Socko and applied the Mandible Claw, Bossman getting counted down! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winner: Mankind @ 5:04 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] Mankind celebrated his win to loud cheers, Mankind holding Mr Socko high, but Mankind will not be able to win the WWF Championship with Socko nor the Mandible Claw this Sunday at Judgment Day when he faces the masked Kane! Mankind started to leave before Goldust's video package aired on the TitanTron a second time! The Brothers of Destruction were shown walking the corridor in the backstage area, as Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler regained audio commentary privileges. Kane and the Undertaker were up next, facing Triple H and X-Pac! -- Commercial Break -- 7) Triple H and X-Pac vs The Brothers of Destruction |
[/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Triple H and X-Pac had a massive opportunity here as the Brothers of Destruction did battle with the two main leaders of D-Generation X. Kane and Triple H went at it, the WWF Intercontinental Champion meeting the WWF Champion for the first time. Kane powered Triple H around at freedom whilst the "Lord of Darkness" watched on the apron, the Brothers of Destruction having the size advantage for definite. X-Pac waited for the fresh tag to be made, but the WWF Intercontinental Champion continued to be tortured, locked in a choke hold by the "Big Red Machine". Kane refused to loosen the hold, as the "Game" continued to be manhandled. Kane decided that enough was enough and he prepared the Chokeslam, Hunter breaking out and X-Pac got the tag! X-Pac got in plenty of kicks, outrunning Kane with his agility very well. The Undertaker got several kicks as well, as X-Pac refused to stop throwing stuff from all angles at the two dominant brothers. Triple H and Kane got involved, all four men in the ring, and Hunter low blowed the legal man the "Lord of Darkness" behind the official's back, X-Pac with the X-Factor on the Undertaker! D-Lo Brown then ran to ringside though, Brown with the Lo Down on X-Pac whilst he was covering 'Taker, and Kane came in, Tombstone to X-Pac again! The Rock attacked Triple H at ringside, and the "Deadman" got a slow three count from the semi-conscious referee on X-Pac! [/center][/td][/tr] [tr][td] Winners: The Brothers of Destruction @ 9:26 [**1/4] [/color][/center][/font][/td][/tr][/table] The crowd booed as Kane and the Undertaker celebrated their win, the "Lord of Darkness" standing tall. The "Big Red Machine" held the WWF Championship in his grasp as the Nation retreated from the scene, X-Pac and Triple H laid out at ringside. Mankind then suddenly came from under the ring, much like the "Lord of Darkness", Mankind attacking the man he faces on Sunday for the WWF Championship, Kane! Mankind sent Kane out to the floor before running at Kane with a knee to the face, Kane's head sandwiched between the barricade and Mankind's knee! Undertaker watched from the ring, a preview of Judgment Day perhaps! RAW is WAR went off the air.[/font][/center]

THE BRIT REPORT[/color][/size] Presented by Mike Potter on Thursday 15th October 1998[/size]
-- You can see my review of Sunday Night HeAT and RAW is WAR here.
-- There is word of a minor issue between World Championship Wrestling and one of its main stars, The Giant. Real name, Paul Wight, Paul has expressed no interest in renewing his contract that expires at the end of 1998.
-- The second episode of WWF Super Astros drew a pretty decent 1.3 rating. This is a drop from last week's premiere (1.7), but is still impressive for the timeslot and the focus of the programme on USA Network, but we will have to see how this rating holds up.
-- Marilyn Manson have agreed to officially sing the Headbangers to the ring on Sunday at Judgment Day. Ironically, the Headbangers aren't even currently listed as competed at the show.
-- A few major heel turns are expected to take place on WWF television over the next few weeks, all setting up storylines for the long road to WrestleMania XV.
-- Vader has resurfaced in New Japan Pro Wrestling officially.
-- WWF RAW bested WCW Nitro this week with a 4.8 rating to 4.7. The competition is so sharp.
-- It has been revealed that WWF's December pay-per-view known as In Your House shall in fact be titled "Final Four II: In Your House". The original Final Four pay-per-view under the IYH banner featured a four-way elimination match for the vacant WWF Championship and was held in February 1997. It should be interesting to see how things build up on the road to said event, from Vancouver, British Columbia on December 13th 1998.
-- WWF has Judgment Day: In Your House on Sunday, the current card appears as: - Kane vs Mankind for the WWF Championship - Mike Awesome vs Ken Shamrock - Triple H vs The Rock in a Two Out of Three Falls match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship - Mark Henry & the Godfather vs the New Age Outlaws vs Davey Boy Smith & Owen Hart for the WWF Tag Team Championships - Goldust vs The Big Bossman - Steven Regal & Jeff Jarrett vs Rob Van Dam & Sabu in a Hardcore match - D-Lo Brown vs X-Pac

Great opening segment with the Undertaker discussing his role in the World Wrestling Federation Championship match on Sunday. Though 'Taker saying he will not turn on Kane leads me to believe that he will turn on Kane. D-X getting involved was lovely, and I look forward to the tag team match later on tonight. Nice win in the opening bout for Road Dogg to set up the WWF Tag Team Championship match for Judgment Day: In Your House. Liked the aftermath with Owen Hart and Davey Boy making save for D-Generation X. Sounded like a faun tag bout here, and a good victory for the Oddities. Save the Big Valboski's Big Valboski! Good to see a win for European Champion Owen Hart here. Haha, loved the segment with Mankind and Big Bossman. Aw man, I was looking forward to Austin/Awesome at Judgment Day. Damn Vince. I'm curious to see where this firing goes next as it can't possibly stand. Shamrock! Great match here, and the DQ finish nicely sets up a rematch for Judgment Day. Chaotic finish to the tag team match here. Damn those puppies! Expecting Van Dam and Sabu to get a nice measure of revenge on Sunday. Mankind going over Bossman was expected, but still the right result with him heading into the WWF Championship match on Sunday. Lastly, a great main event victory for the Brothers of Destruction over D-Generation X. Cool aftermath with Mankind attacking Kane, and Undertaker simply watching is certainly interesting. I can't wait to see exactly what goes down with all three men in the championship match on Sunday. A good show overall, ready for Judgement Day.

RAW: - Interesting segment to kick off the show, I'm split on whether Taker is going to turn, which feels too obvious, or if he'll stick it out and actually give Kane the victory. Either way I'm fully expecting us to get the Undertaker / Kane match at WrestleMania. - Road Dogg has to go over to set up the WWF Tag Team Championship match, though the finish seemed kind of weak to me. Regardless, New Age Outlaws for the titles! - Solid win for Albert, the Venis / Oddities feud is Attitude crazy booking at it's finest. 'Weiner be terminated' may be the weirdest thing I've seen on this board, and that's saying something. Still, we must unite to rescue the Big Valbowski's money maker! - Triple H and The Rock in a two out of three falls match should be pretty good, really enjoying the DX / Nation feud as well. - As much as I like Owen I really think a win here could have done wonders for D-Lo, especially since he could have used the momentum ahead of his match with X-Pac. A cheap victory here could have helped both men while as it is D-Lo came off looking weak. - I've lost count of the number of times Austin has been fired over the years. He'll be back. - I imagine that an Awesome / Shamrock match could be awesome (pun intended) especially if given the proper amount of time. Looking forward to it. - Typical all over the place finish for this tag match but it isn't really a problem, nobody looks weak and it builds up two separate feud. - Oh a good old bikini contest, the T&A staple. - Mankind was obviously going over here, not even in the attitude era would it ever have made sense for it to go the other way. - Big main event here, don't know whether you needed the interference though, just felt like you did it for the sake of having it, it really wouldn't have hurt Trips and Pac lose this one cleanly. It was also weird to see Taker just watch as Mankind took Kane out considering he's meant to be playing the Kane's ally role right now. - A decent show though there was some up and down booking that didn't seem to make a lot of sense. Still you built up Judgment Day pretty well and it's got a very solid card, so I'm looking forward to that.

Opening promo was strange, mostly because of what 'Taker said. It doesn't fit his persona, unless it's going to lead off on a completely different route. I suspect it will. He shouldn't be talking about respecting anyone, let alone Vince. DX intrusion was fine.
Road Dogg winning was the right call, leading straight to a championship match at JD. Hmm, Owen and Davey with DX? Doesn't seem right at all. I think that's one boundary that can't really be crossed and made to seem realistic.
Nice segment to announce the 2-out-of-3 Falls match. That should be epic. NOD seem to be running the show.
Owen over D'Lo was fine, but X-Pac running in afterwards? Sneak-attack overkill.
I thought the segment with Mankind and the Boss Man was funny. Nice to set up a future match and get the ball rolling.
Austin fired? Sure, happened all the time. Interested to see where this goes now and how Awesome fares at JD. Would liked to have seen Austin rebel here and at least nail a few Stunners.
Awesome's DQ win only proves further that Shamrock is a maniac. Good booking. A rematch at JD sounds cool, though I smell some sort of screwy finish or Austin involvement.
Good win for Mankind. I like how you're highlighting his hurdles regarding Kane and how to defeat him. It only adds to the anticipation to see whether Foley can win the belt. I think we'll see Undertaker turn on Kane and allow Foley to win.
NOD completing their attack on DX by costing Triple H and X-Pac their match, good booking. However, I think here your main focus should be the relationship between the Undertaker and Kane. 'Taker vows not to abandon his brother, they work well, but he then watches him get beat down by Foley? I think there should have been more visible dissension between the Brothers of Destruction in the match, probably even losing to DX as a result.
Overall, a good RAW. You're setting up JD very nicely.
