I think Bret's going to get one over Shawn. I honestly am curious though, will the screwjob happen in this world. I think they'res a lot of cool stuff that could be going down soon in the WWF. Taker is keeping the title without doubt. Love seeing Mankind and Vader go out, great way to bring in Dude Love and stuff into this. The Nation's going to live. Can't wait to see more and how this plays out on PPV.

WWF JUDGMENT DAY - May 11. 1997 Preshow Match: The Roadie and Billy Gunn's match never got started with Roadie saying that both him and Billy have both been being flat on their backs every night and told Billy he's not a loser and they could be a team together, Honky Tonk Man protested and said that Billy is Championship material, something Roadie will never be. Billy grabbed the guitar and clocked HTM in the skull with it and both men shook hands forming a team. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are your hosts with Ross filling in for Vince McMahon announcing that McMahon's mother-in-law Rose Anderson passed away and they are wishing Anderson a Happy Mother's Day in Heaven.
Match 1: Eight-Man Tag Team Match Tiger Ali Singh, Bradshaw, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Brian Christopher vs Rocky Maivia, Goldust, Terry Funk and Flash Funk What a great way to kick off Judgment Day with a huge eight man tag team match. Some old rivalries need to be settled here tonight and they will. Maivia and Bradshaw start the match off with Maivia gaining the advantage over Bradshaw. Bradshaw is able to fight back and tag in Christopher, But Maivia tags in Flash who hits Christopher with series of dropkicks and armdrags. The match goes throughout 5-10 minutes with Helmsley's team gaining advantage and wearing down Terry Funk, Funk eventually fights back and makes the tag to Goldust who comes in a house of fire in this match. Helmsley slows down Goldust's momentum and tries to hit the pedigree but Goldust counters it into an inside cradle but Helmsley kicks out at 2. The end of the match when Bradshaw attempts to nail Funk with a clothesline from hell but Terry tags in Flash and that allows Terry to hit a DDT and Flash follows it up by hitting the 450 splash on the downed Bradshaw to get the 1. 2. 3. in this big 8-Man Tag Team Match as Funk's team is victorious. Winners: Terry Funk, Flash Funk, Goldust and Rocky Maivia
Earlier Today, the cameras caught up with The Hart Foundation all arriving to the arena as they got some big matchups here tonight at Judgment Day. Lawler predicts that all the members of the Hart Foundation will be victorious at the end of the night.
A clip is shown of Faarooq and Ahmed Johnson's rivalry that started all the way back from Faarooq's debut attacking Ahmed Johnson and nearly costing him his career and also costing him the Intercontinental Championship. Then it goes to clips of their fights at the 1996 King of The Ring and the 1997 Royal Rumble, but tonight, it's all or nothing, if Ahmed wins, The Nation is gone, but if Faarooq somehow gets the win, Ahmed will join the Nation of Domination. Kevin Kelly interviews Faarooq about his match with Ahmed Johnson. Faarooq says for far too long he and Ahmed have taken each other to the limit, but tonight it's going to end one way or another because whether what happens in this match, he will always have Ahmed's number. But tonight, as for Ahmed joining the Nation of Domination, it is 100% legit happening but tonight, he's going to give Ahmed a big surprise and not only will that surprise happen, it's going to hit Ahmed right between the eyes before he knows it. Match 2: All Or Nothing Match Ahmed Johnson vs Faarooq w/The Nation Something's gotta give in this match, will Ahmed stay free or will Ahmed join the Nation?. Faarooq and Ahmed start the match by exchanging blows with one another and even rolling out to the outside of the ring, these two are having a hockey fight match. Ahmed battles back and tosses Faarooq into the steel steps. Ahmed has been waiting for this moment and he might end The Nation once and for all tonight, Ahmed tosses Faarooq back in the ring but Faarooq battles back in the ring and hits a DDT on Ahmed but Ahmed kicks out at 2. Faarooq gains the momentum but Ahmed sends him over the top rope with a clothesline. Ahmed runs off the ropes and hits a suicide dive taking out Faarooq and also the rest of The Nation. Ahmed grabs Faarooq and tosses him back in the ring but Faarooq battles back and whips Ahmed into the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Ahmed kicks him in the face and goes for the Pearl River Plunge but Faarooq backdrops out of it and whips him into the ropes nailing a huge powerslam on Ahmed. Faarooq then goes for the cover but Ahmed easily kicks out at 2. Faarooq continues to gain the momentum but Ahmed tries to battle back only for Faarooq to take him down with a clothesline. Faarooq keeps wearing down Ahmed and eventually Ahmed breaks out of a sleeper hold by hitting a back suplex on Faarooq. Ahmed heads to the top rope and nails a diving clothesline on Faarooq but Faarooq kicks out at 2. Ahmed gets more momentum in this match and hits the spinebuster on Faarooq and it could be time for the Pearl River Plunge. Crush gets on the apron but Ahmed hits him with a right hand. Ahmed goes for the pearl river plunge but Faarooq rams Ahmed into the buckle and hits a spinebuster of his own. Faarooq goes for the cover but Ahmed easily kicks out at 2.

Mabel whips Ahmed into the ropes but Ahmed reverses it and nails a spinebuster on the 500-pound Mabel, Crush gets in only for Ahmed to knock him down and here comes D' Lo. D' Lo Brown is on the top rope and goes for a cross body but Ahmed press slams him over the top rope to the floor. Ahmed is a one man wrecking crew here in this match, Slick gets in and Ahmed attempts the Pearl River Plunge on him, but there's Faarooq. Faarooq grabs Ahmed and sets up for the dominator but Ahmed counters it and surprises Faarooq with the Pearl River Plunge, that's gotta be it. But wait a minute, here comes someone and it looks like Kama, we haven't seen Kama since he was Papa Shango in December of 1996. Kama gets in the ring and nails Ahmed with a superkick, Kama then runs off the ropes and nails Ahmed with the leg drop. Kama advises Faarooq to get up, has Kama joined The Nation of Domination?. Faarooq covers Ahmed and the referee is up, 1. 2. 3. Not this way, Faarooq has beaten Ahmed and Ahmed must join The Nation of Domination. Winner: Faarooq What a highway robbery this was as Faarooq has stolen one, not only has Kama joined The Nation of Domination, but Ahmed must join The Nation of Domination, Slick steals a bottle of water from the timekeeper and wakes up Ahmed. Ahmed somehow stirs and Ahmed gets to his feet disappointed as Faarooq tells him to do the Nation Pose with them, Ahmed doesn't wanna do it but he has to. Ahmed reluctantly does the Nation Pose with them, Faarooq grabs a microphone and says for those of the fans that thought The Nation was over, think again because The Nation is stronger than ever and whether Ahmed likes it or not, Ahmed will do what Faarooq tells him to do, Faarooq then says that he is challenging the winner for the WWF Championship Match tonight, because he wants to be the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Faarooq drops the mic as he, Crush, Kama, D-Lo, Slick and reluctantly Ahmed walk away together. A clip is shown of Past King of The Rings with Yokozuna winning the 1993 King of The Ring, Bret Hart winning the 1994 King of The Ring, Hunter Hearst Helmsley winning the 1995 King of The Ring and Stone Cold recently winning Last Year's King of The Ring as an advertisement for King of The Ring is shown as it comes on live on June 7, 1997. Clips are shown of Vader's return two weeks ago when he attacked Mankind after cutting a promo of what happened in Saudi Arabia. Dok Hendrix interviews Mankind about his match with Vader, Mankind says that he thought he found a better partner and a better friend in Vader, he and Uncle Paul led him to the World Wrestling Federation Championship. But now Uncle Paul and Vader, they don't want nothing to do to him, and now that Mankind's free from Uncle Paul and Vader, he can go back to doing what he does best and that is destroying people and it starts with Vader, and Vader won't have a nice day.
Match 3: Mankind vs Vader This matchup is very personal of what happened two weeks ago on RAW with Vader attacking Mankind after the WWF Championship Match between Mankind and The Undertaker. Mankind and Vader exchange blows on the entryway and this match has never officially started. Mankind picks up a steel chair and hits Vader in the face and remember there's no disqualifaction, because this match has not happened yet. Vader fights back and tosses Mankind into the guardrail. Vader picks up the steel steps and throws them in Mankind's head. And remember this match is still not started. Vader grabs Mankind and sends him in the ring and the ref rings the bell and now this match can officially start. Vader gets momentum in this match and just beats on Mankind but Mankind battles back and throws hard punches on Vader into the buckle, Vader eventually battles back and nails Mankind with a chokeslam. Vader goes for the cover but Mankind kicks out at 2. Vader then comes back in this match and continues to beat on Mankind but Mankind fights back and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker.

Mankind is so resilent here, Vader goes to the top rope one more time and nails another Vaderbomb on Mankind, and Vader covers Mankind and finally Vader gets the victory. Vader has put away the Deranged One for good, Winner: Vader
Sunny is interviewing Sycho Sid about facing The Undertaker for the WWF Championship at Judgment Day. Sid then tells Sunny not to worry about interviewing him, because tonight is going to be the greatest moment of his life and if The Undertaker doesn't believe it, then tonight his title reign is going up in smoke because once he defeats The Undertaker, he will truly be the master and the ruler of the world and Undertaker will rest in peace.
Match 4: Six-Man Tag Team Match The Hart Foundation vs The Legion of Doom and Ken Shamrock This is an okay match, but the crowd were into the two matches that it gets silent. The LOD and Shamrock get some momentum in this match but The Hart Foundation battle back eventually with Owen wearing down Hawk, Hawk eventualy fights back by hitting a powerslam and Hawk makes the hot tag to Shamrock. Shamrock comes in a house of fire taking down everyone with Belly to Belly Suplexes and Powerslams and Shamrock is in the zone here.

A clip is shown of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels's rivalry dating all the way back to 1988 with Shawn Michaels's debut and Bret still in the WWF, After a successful tag team with both their teammates, both men moved up to their singles careers and won the Intercontinental Championship twice in 1992, culminating with Bret winning 3 WWF Championship victories from 1992 through 1996 and Shawn winning the title at WrestleMania 12, and it continues with Bret's return in 1996 blaming Shawn Michaels for everything and Bret forming The Hart Foundation as well, but tonight this match is 14 months in the making, can Bret avenge the WrestleMania 12 loss?. Or will Michaels get four steps closer to the WWF Championship?.
Match 8: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels This is it, this matchup has been 14 months in the making and it's time that these two settle the score. Michaels and Hart start it off with a lockup with Michaels gaining the advantage and these two are exchanging blows with one another with Michaels gaining the momentum. Michaels charges at Bret and Bret goes to toss him over the top rope but Michaels skins the cat and sends Hart over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline and Michaels hits a pescado taking down Bret on the outside. Michaels has waited a long time for this trying to get Bret back in the ring. Bret fights back and tosses Shawn in the ring and tries to go for the leg in which he does so. But Michaels makes a comeback with one bad leg hitting Bret with a cross body but Bret kicks out at 2. Bret fights back and hits him with the enziguri. Bret then takes Michaels into the buckle and nails him with hard right hands and tries to go for the leg of Michaels but Michaels counters it and throws right hands at Bret to try to stop him from going for the ankle. Michaels throws right hands on Bret but Bret dropkicks the leg and that has to hurt Michaels even more, Michaels had trouble with his leg last February when he announced that he lost his smile. Bret then grabs Michaels and tries a suplex but Michaels fights out of it and hits a suplex of his own. Michaels heads to the top rope and goes for a double axe handle but Bret punches him in the gut and Bret continues to gain the momentum by going for the legs of Michaels. Bret almost gets the win by hitting a Russian Leg Sweep but Michaels kicks out at 2. Bret tries to go straight for the legs of Michaels by using a figure-four leg lock on the outside and Michaels does not want to surrender and Bret eventually lets go. Bret continues to destroy Shawn even further but Shawn battles back and eventually nails a DDT on Bret Hart. Michaels gets to his feet and goes for the legs of Bret and Michaels is showing some poetic justice on Bret Hart here. Bret battles back and pokes the eye of Michaels and goes for a piledriver but Michaels backdrops out of it and surprises Bret with a clothesline. Michaels and Bret both go down and the two men exchange blows in the center of the ring. Bret whips Shawn into the ropes and Shawn hits a flying forearm followed by a kipup. Shawn hits Bret with an Atomic Drop and nails him with a right hand. Shawn picks up Bret and goes for a bodyslam but Bret counters with a Victory Roll and Shawn eventually kicks out at 2. Bret picks up Shawn and goes for a fisherman's suplex but Shawn counters it and Shawn hits a surprise hurracarana taking down the former WWF Champion. Shawn goes for the cover again but Bret kicks out, and what a back and forth matchup this has been. Bret and Shawn get to their feet and Bret kicks Shawn in the gut and goes for a piledriver and connects with it. Bret could get this match out of the way here. Bret grabs Shawn and nails a backbreaker as well, these two are taking the fight to one another. Bret heads to the top rope and goes for a move but Michaels sees it and crotches the ropes and heads to the top rope to go for a superplex in which it connects. Michaels goes for the cover but Bret kicks out at 2. Michaels and Bret get to their feet and both men exchange blows and chops and Bret has Shawn rocked in the buckle and rocks him with ten punches but Michaels flapjacks him into the ringpost and hits a bodyslam on Bret, Michaels heads to the top rope and connects with the elbow drop on Bret. That could put Bret away here and we all know what's next. Michaels sets up for the Sweet Chin Music but Bret rolls out of the way and takes down Shawn and goes for the sharpshooter and Bret has the hold synched in for a minute but Shawn counters it into a sharpshooter of his own, Michaels reverses the sharpshooter into one of his own but he turns Bret over and uses a figure-four leglock on Bret. Michaels has it locked in, both men are pulling out of the stops. Bret eventualy uses the ropes and the hold must be broken. Michaels goes to the top rope while Bret is on the outside and look at Shawn, Shawn hits a standing moonsault on The Hitman. And both men are down on the outside, both men do not want to get counted out, both men get back in the ring at the count of 9. And what a physical match this has been similar to WrestleMania 12. Shawn and Bret both get on their feet and Bret is now in control of this match, Bret charges at Shawn only for Shawn to nail him with Sweet Chin Music, the fans are on their feet. Shawn nailed Sweet Chin Music to The Hitman and Shawn gets back to his feet and goes for another Sweet Chin Music similar to WrestleMania 12 and he hits him with it again, Shawn goes for the cover, is it going to be like WrestleMania 12?. No, Bret kicks out at 2. Bret may have avoided the WrestleMania 12 disaster, but will it be enough?. Shawn may have one more Sweet Chin Music in him. Shawn tries to go for it again but Bret counters it with a sharpshooter and Shawn's got nowhere to go. Bret locks in that hold and Shawn tries to go for the ropes but Bret will not allow him to. Bret has the hold locked in and Shawn looks like he may have no choice here. Shawn tries to fight out of it but he can't. Shawn tries one last desperate attempt but eventually he taps out and Bret has avenged his WrestleMania 12 defeat and he has advanced to the 1997 King of The Ring. But what a matchup between the two. Winner and Advancing to the 1997 King of The Ring: Bret Hart
The rest of The Hart Foundation come in to celebrate with Bret, Bret Hart is the first man to advance in the 1997 King of The Ring, but who will he face?. Will Bret attempt to become a 2-time King of The Ring Winner similar to 1994 in where Bret won the King of The Ring. But will he attempt to win it twice in his career?. The Hart Foundation continue to celebrate but Shawn grabs a steel chair and nails Neidhart in the back with it and The Hart Foundation begin to scatter, It looks like Bret may have won this match, but the war between Shawn and Bret is far from over. Shawn stands in the ring while The Hart Foundation celebrate outside of the ring, Shawn stares Bret and The Hart Foundation down as Judgment Day goes off the air.

Interesting to see Bret Hart in the KOTR tournament in 1997. He won in 1991 and 1993, so could he go for it in 97? Even at the very height of his prime? Taker winning is what was definitely needed.
Surprised to see Vader win over Mankind!

WWF RAW IS WAR - May 12. 1997
Clips are shown of what happened at Judgment Day with The Undertaker retaining his title over Sycho Sid, 2 new members of the Nation of Domination and Bret Hart becoming the first man to advance to the 1997 King of The Ring.
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are your hosts for Monday Night RAW, they announce that Vince McMahon will not be on RAW commentating tonight, but he will return next week, They talk about all the matches that are happening with the King of The Ring Tournament continuing and also The Undertaker taking on Mabel in a Non-Title Match. And Plus, Paul Bearer will make his return because he has a shocking confession.
The Hart Foundation are already in the ring as they have smiles on their faces. Bret says that last night, he finally beat Shawn Michaels and he did it fair and square, And now he is in the 1997 King of The Ring. Bret says that it was a tough battle, but he went through it so now The Heartbreak Kid is now the has been Kid and Bret is now the greatest wrestler of the World Wrestling Federation forever and now, let's move on to the King of The Ring, he doesn't care who he beats as a matter of fact, he doesn't care if he beats tough fighters, queers or masked monsters or a masked man with one ear or a crazy hardcore old man, the bottom line is he is going to become a 2-time King of The Ring Winner, he won the 1994 King of The Ring and unfortunately, two of his family members was who he had to beat and he apologizes to Bulldog and Owen for that. They accept his apology saying off mic that Bret was the better man that night. Bret says that he knows that Owen is in the tournament and if Owen and Bret do make it to the finals again, then he promises may the best brother win and there's nothing in the world he would love to do to fight his own brother, But 1994 was his year, the fans supported him in winning his first King of The Ring and then after WrestleMania 12, everyone stabbed him in the back and that's why the americans are scum, they're too justified and too blind to the truth. But at the end of the day at the 1997 King of The Ring, he is going in there and win the entire competition and he knows that whoever becomes the 1997 King of The Ring earns a title match at Summerslam against The Undertaker, Bret says that Undertaker better be keeping his belt warm and nice for him because after he wins King of The Ring, he is going to Summerslam and become the second man to be a four-time WWF Champion and will cement his legacy as the greatest World Wrestling Federation Superstar of all time. Then suddenly a voice interrupts Bret, It's Shawn's voice. Shawn comes to the stage and says that last night Bret was the better man at Judgment Day, for once Bret didn't use his Canadian Gangs to come out and help them and now Shawn's not going to be The Heartbreak King. Although it's a nice ring to it. Shawn says that at WrestleMania 12, he beat Bret, but at Judgment Day, Bret proved to be the better man, Shawn says that for Bret's sake. He really hopes that Bret survives to win the King of The Ring and he would wish Bret luck, but he's going to need it because although Bret's had some sunny days, he still cannot get the job done, The Hart Foundation begin to hold Bret back. Shawn says that he doesn't care if he wins the King of The Ring, all he cares about tonight is getting one of Owen or Bulldog's championships, Bret says that first of all Owen has a lot on his plate, next week he is taking on Flash Funk, and Bulldog, he's not up to defending the European Championship tonight, then suddenly Stone Cold's music plays as he comes out. Austin says that he's been sitting in the back and with all the damn commotion that's been going on, he heard someone say a title match. Austin says that he knows he's not a part of the 1997 King of The Ring, because last year he already won the damn thing and he says that like Shawn Michaels, he would wish Bret Hart all the luck in the world. But there's a quote that says "Luck is for Damn Losers". Austin says that unlike Shawn he wants a title match here tonight, he wants to face either Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Championship or he wants to take the European Title from the British Bulldog. Bret says that both Michaels and Austin don't get the memo, Owen wants to train for his match with Terry Funk and Bulldog is not up to defending the European Championship, Jesse Ventura then comes out and tells Bret that Bret does not make the orders around here, Jesse does, as far as Owen and Bulldog defending their titles, He thinks one of them should defend their titles and he's got the perfect person in mind, next week, Owen does have a match with Flash Funk, but tonight, it should be Owen Hart taking on Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship, but that does not leave Stone Cold empty handed, next week, he will take on The British Bulldog for the European Championship. Ventura says that he wishes both Michaels and Owen luck tonight. The Hart Foundation are furious that Owen has to defend the Intercontinental Championship against Shawn Michaels tonight in the main event. (break) Match 1: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Ken Shamrock vs Bradshaw The winner of this match will face Bret Hart at the King of The Ring, And this is a good hard hitting match between these two with Bradshaw getting the advantage punching away at Shamrock but Shamrock battles back in the match and Bradshaw attempts to put the match away by hitting him with a clothesline from hell but Shamrock counters by hitting the Belly to Belly Suplex on Bradshaw and nails the anklelock on him to make Bradshaw tap out and Shamrock will face Bret Hart in the quarterfinal matchup and that should be an interesting match, the Sharpshooter vs the Anklelock. Winner: Ken Shamrock (break) Back in the ring, Sable and Sunny are in the ring wearing Austin 3:16 and Undertaker T-Shirts selling them to the crowd. The Commentators go to a video clip of what happened at Backlash with The Undertaker throwing a fireball in Paul Bearer's face. Tonight, Paul Bearer is here to drop a bombshell on The Undertaker. Match 2: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Goldust w/Marlena vs Tiger Ali Singh w/Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund Goldust entered the 1996 King of The Ring and was eliminated in the elite eight, but he's got some momentum going as he takes on Tiger Ali Singh. Goldust starts the match off by getting some advantage on Singh, Singh battles back against Goldust and tries to get the victory here by using the camel clutch but Marlena gets in the ring while the referee is distracting Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund, and look Marlena just unzipped her dress, she just flashed Tiger Ali Singh. Singh is in shock. Goldust gets up and hits the Curtain Call to get the win and he will advance to the King of The Ring, and Goldust will face the winner of Terry Funk and Crush. Winner: Goldust Backstage in Shawn Michaels's locker room, Michaels is getting warmed up for the Intercontinental Title Match when Stone Cold Steve Austin comes in and Austin tells Michaels that he's not happy that Michaels is first in line for the Intercontinental Championship, as a matter of fact, he can whip Owen Hart's ass anyday of the week, Michaels says that he's not happy either that Austin is going to face The British Bulldog for the European Title when he can take on both guys this week and the week later. Austin says that he doesn't trust Michaels one bit, if Michaels's obsession with Bret Hart is going to cost Austin the European Championship next week, then Austin will whip Michaels's ass. Michaels says that if Austin's obsession with Bret Hart costs him the Intercontinental Championship tonight, then they're going to get it on and someone's ass will be whipped. (break) Undertaker's old theme hits in the arena as Paul Bearer is at the stage with a bandage on his face, Bearer says that the fire that synched his face and put him in the hospital at Backlash, the pain, the sacred bond that they had for seven years, that bond has been seared at the head, Bearer threatens the cameraman to put that camera close to his eye because Undertaker knows the eyes and he knows when he's speaking the truth, Bearer says that Undertaker remembers, he is going to give Undertaker one more chance to get back together and that he has to do this, one more chance, he can help Undertaker become the greatest WWF Champion ever, just like he did when Undertaker won the title twice. Bearer says that if Undertaker does not accept his final request, he will do something that only The Undertaker knows, a secret that he wanted to reveal after The Undertaker won the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 13, but did not want to. But he will reveal it, a secret he made when he stood at the gravesites of The Undertaker's mother and father, Bearer says that The Undertaker hurt him and if Undertaker doesn't come back to him, he will hurt him. And who will be the one to rest in peace?. Bearer leaves the stage as the commentators wonder what secret Bearer has on The Undertaker. (break) Hour 2 of RAW kicks off with Faarooq and the rest of the Nation of Domination making their way to the ring with the two newest members, Kama and Ahmed Johnson. Faarooq says that it feels great to become the #1 Contender for the WWF Championship and that Ahmed couldn't get the job done that's why Ahmed is in the Nation. Faarooq says that it's time for Faarooq to win the WWF Championship, and now that he has Ahmed Johnson is in the nation, he wants Ahmed to learn something, just like he told Ahmed at Judgment Day. He does whatever Faarooq tells him to do if he wants Ahmed to hop, skip and jump, then he will. If he wants Ahmed to wash his clothes, then Ahmed's going to, if he wants Ahmed to park Faarooq's car, then he'll do as he says. Because he owns Ahmed, Ahmed's got nowhere to go, he will listen to Faarooq. Faarooq asks the fans a question, when was the last time that the WWF had a black man win the WWF Championship. Faarooq says no one has won the WWF Title, Ahmed Johnson won the Intercontinental Championship, Bobo Brazil won the United States Championship, Faarooq wants Ahmed to ask the fans a question, when was the last time Ahmed won the WWF Championship?. Faarooq says never, Ahmed takes the mic away from Faarooq and says the reason why he never won the WWF Championship is because he hates Faarooq's guts, but for once he agrees with Faarooq, the white men have always held the black men back to the top of the food chain, Ahmed says that all the fans didn't care about his story as a childhood, he was beaten by his father, all the wounds he suffered before he got into wrestling, he did everything to please the fans but where did that get him?. Nowhere, And that's why Faarooq won't have to worry about Ahmed doing what he tells him because his first order of business is cut right to the chase, he doesn't need the fans telling him what to do and when to do it, he did all of his best to please the fans and when he got injured, the fans didn't care and they don't care now, Ahmed says that he's going to make sure that Faarooq gets the WWF Championship and he will make sure to himself that he wins the King of The Ring, because next week he's got Vader one on one, A man that didn't deserve to win the WWF Championship twice and a man that shouldn't be in the company because of what he did in Kuwait. Ahmed says that he may not like Faarooq, but he's got a point, The Nation are stronger than ever and there is not anyone including The Undertaker that can stop The Nation of Domination. Faarooq says that Ahmed is right, a black man isn't worthy of winning the WWF Championship, but no longer are they calling radio stations, they are no longer of being humiliated. No longer are they laughed at or marching up and down the streets, this is a different era and they are taking matters into their own hands. Faarooq says that Ahmed is finally learning the ropes on his first day and he's proud of him for that so that he can shake his hand. Faarooq and Ahmed shake hands. Faarooq says that their white savior The Undertaker will be a deadman after King of The Ring and Ahmed will become the 1997 King of The Ring after he beats that masked fat ass bully Vader next week. King Faarooq will rule again. And tonight, Mabel's going to start picking The Undertaker limb from limb. And after King of The Ring, The Nation are going to take matters into their own hands, by any means necessary.
Match 3: Non-Title Match The Undertaker vs Mabel w/The Nation of Domination The Undertaker who had a grueling match with Sycho Sid just 24 hours ago takes on Big Mabel in this non-title affair. Taker wastes no time going right after Mabel, the men who attacked him last night and Mabel was one of them. Undertaker has a hard time knocking down Mabel but finally brings him down with a clothesline and goes for the ropewalk but Faarooq distracts Undertaker allowing Mabel to take down Undertaker with a powerslam countering old school. Mabel continues to dominate the match but Undertaker is eventually able to fight back by hitting a jumping DDT and follows it up with a leg drop. D' Lo gets in the ring but Undertaker nails him with a hard right hand and sends him over the top rope to the floor and that allows Mabel to get back to the momentum and hit a bodyslam on Undertaker and goes to the top rope and attempts to hit a splash on Undertaker off the top but Undertaker does his situp and rolls out of the way. Taker gets to his feet and hits the 500-pounder with a big-time chokeslam. Undertaker goes for the cover and gets the victory in this non-title match. Winner: The Undertaker After The Match, The Nation all come in and goes right after The Undertaker but Taker spots them and throws hard right hands at Crush, Kama and D' Lo but Faarooq catches him with a clothesline and now the numbers game is too much, Faarooq, Crush, Kama, Ahmed, Mabel and D' Lo all gang up on Undertaker. Taker attempts to fight the six off but just like Judgment Day the numbers are too much. Faarooq grabs the World Title Belt with Mabel and D' Lo holding Undertaker up so that Faarooq can hit Undertaker with it. And Faarooq catches Undertaker right between the eyes with the title. Undertaker is down and the Nation all celebrate but what has gotten into Ahmed?. Ahmed at first refused to join the Nation of Domination but now he's going along with their plans?. The Nation all leave and Undertaker sits up staring the rest of the Nation down as they leave the ringside area. (break) Match 4: The Legion of Doom vs Public Enemy Even though The Public Enemy are done with The Nation of Domination, they still have some unfinished business with The Legion of Doom, But Hawk and Animal are not playing around as they squash The Public Enemy in a matter of seconds with Animal and Hawk hitting Rocco with the Doomsday Device to get the victory. What a win for Hawk and Animal and hopefully this puts them in Tag Team Title contention. Winners: The Legion of Doom
The Commentators take us to the Part 2 Interview of Dustin Rhodes and Marlena with Jim Ross, Goldust says that he wants to have fun with the character and take care of his family and when it's time to work, work, but when it's time for family, give them the attention they need, all Goldust does when he wants to wrestle is to turn it on and to put on a show and entertain them, but when the show's over, Goldust really is something, that's what he wants, he wants to be a champion so that the fans can scream and yell his name. Goldust says in any relationship, family should come first, things that happened at the past, he can't change and he can't let them be but he can make sure for Dakota's sake it won't happen, when he's 70 years old watching TV. The greatest thing came when his daughter did the Goldust thing, when he used to do that with his dad, he looked up to him so much and Goldust's daughter is doing that. Goldust says that if his father's watching all these years, he looked up to him and be just like him, he's bigger than life, he wants to be just like him, that's why he loves him, he became a professional wrestler the hardest damn thing in life to do to pull it off, but he did. Nobody takes it away from him, and he was Dustin Rhodes, no one can do Goldust like he does, so he hopes that his dad proud of him and that he loves him. (break) Before the next match starts, the lights go out in the arena as Undertaker's music plays as he's backstage as JR asks Undertaker a question about two things, Paul Bearer's secret and the attack by The Nation. Taker first addresses Paul Bearer that there are certain events occurred at the darkside that have never been seen the light of day, his mother and father like Paul Bearer said are dead and Bearer promised not to reveal that secret, what happens in the dark stays in the darkside. But as far as Faarooq is concerned, whether he's brainwashed a new Nation of Domination, or whether he wants to blame the human race of the World Wrestling Federation, or blame America, or blame the Darkside, he's never won a match with his physical condition, it's always been his state of mind, and now he must do what he thought he never could, he must go to the vault of souls to unleash a demon to help him do battle with the Nation of Domination, and at the King of The Ring, Faarooq and the rest of the Nation will all Rest In Peace. Match 5: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Terry Funk vs Crush What a night it's been for The Nation of Domination, but tonight Crush could advance to the King of The Ring if he beats Terry Funk. Funk shows off his stuff by taking down the big man Crush to his legs but Crush fights back and tries to hit Funk with the Heart Punch but Funk battles back and hits a DDT on Crush and follows it up with a big moonsault to get the victory, and Funk will take on Goldust at the King of The Ring. Winner: Terry Funk Backstage on a split-screen, both Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart are walking backstage as their match for the Intercontinental Championship is up next. (break) Match 6: WWF Intercontinental Championship Match Shawn Michaels vs Owen Hart The two have gone at it before and it was in 1995 that Owen Hart injured Shawn Michaels but Shawn returned to win the 1996 Royal Rumble. And both men start the match by exchanging with a lockup center in the ring. Shawn gets the lockup advantage and takes down Owen with a hiptoss. Michaels sends Owen over the top rope with a clothesline and Michaels heads to the top rope and hits a diving crossbody on Owen. Michaels would love to become a 3-time Intercontinental Champion, he captured the Intercontinental Title twice in his career. Owen fights back and hits a spinning heel kick on Shawn. Owen continues the momentum and almost gets the win by hitting a DDT but Shawn kicks out at 2. Owen tries wearing down Shawn by hitting a sleeper hold but Shawn fights back and Owen brings him down again, Owen goes to the top rope and hits a cross body but Shawn rolls through and makes a comeback in the match hitting his signature flying forearm on Owen followed by a bodyslam and Shawn heads to the top rope and this the elbow drop and will we see a 3-time Intercontinental Champion here tonight. Shawn sets up for Sweet Chin Music and Shawn attempts it but Owen grabs Shawn by the leg and goes for the sharpshooter and tries it, but Shawn gets out of the way. Owen then tries a kick but Shawn catches him and Owen goes for the enziguri but Shawn counters it and throws Owen down. Shawn goes to the top rope and hits a standing moonsault on Owen. Shawn goes for the cover again but Owen kicks out. Shawn whips Owen into the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Owen hits a neckbreaker and what a back and forth matchup this has been. Owen heads to the top rope and goes for a splash but Michaels gets to his feet and Michaels and Owen are both on the top rope and Michaels hits a superplex on Owen and Michaels could be looking for Sweet Chin Music but Owen counters it again and goes for a piledriver but Michaels counters it and hits the Sweet Chin Music, he got it. Michaels got it, but wait a minute here comes The Hart Foundation just as Shawn can go for the cover. Winner by DQ: Shawn Michaels After the Match, Shawn tries fighting The Hart Foundation off, but the numbers game is too much, it's a four on one and Bret Hart enters the ring to try to get him a few shots, but Stone Cold Steve Austin appears through the crowd and Owen goes to meet him but Austin nails him with a clothesline on the outside. Austin is aiding Michaels in the fight against The Hart Foundation, all hell has broken loose here on RAW. But the numbers are just too much for Austin and Michaels, then suddenly Mankind and Ken Shamrock show up and it looks like they are here to help, it's now four on four here, we got ourselves a brawl here, The Hart Foundation begin to retreat, but Shawn and Austin begin to eye each other as they go face to face, Shawn said that he didn't need Austin to help him tonight, Shawn gets in the face of Austin and Shawn begins to scream at Austin and Austin screams back and both men begin to exchange blows with one another, Austin and Shawn are going at it, these two can't stand each other, Mankind and Shamrock try to stop Austin and Shawn from fighting, but it's no use. Officials and referees come in to stop this madness, RAW ends with both Austin and Michaels being restrained as they stare down one another.

I wish the WCW shows were more laid out like WWF; regardless, I think you've got a lot of interesting things going on here with a lot of dynamics in both companies. I'm intrigued by what you are going to do with the King of the Ring tournament especially because, of course, that is a big cornerstone as to what is going to happen this summer. I'll be watching.

WWF RAW IS WAR - May 19. 1997
Clips are shown of what happened last week between Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Hart Foundation and also what happened with Paul Bearer revealing a secret to The Undertaker and Faarooq attacking The Undertaker.
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are your hosts for Monday Night RAW as Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way to the ring for an interview, Vince McMahon is in the ring ready to interview him. McMahon asks that from his understanding, Austin's here to address his actions when he saved Shawn Michaels last week, Austin says that he wants to make it clear, he doesn't give a damn about saving Shawn Michaels, he doesn't give a damn about Shawn Michaels anyway, he doesn't care if he's the boytoy, Austin says that The Hart Foundation took the cheap shot on Shawn and he will say this, he can thank his lucky stars that Stone Cold was there because he was getting ready to take an ass whooping and ready to win back the Intercontinental Championship, The Hart Foundation all runs in a pack, but he's weeding his way through that pack with Shawn Michaels, without him he doesn't give a damn and the fact is The Hart Foundation is the common denominator, Austin then sees something and it's Shawn Michaels appearing on the entryway, Austin says that he ain't his friend, but he's got no problem with him. Michaels tells Austin that it wasn't too long that Michaels did the same for him, Michaels says that he's been in the World Wrestling Federation for nine years, Michaels says that he didn't do it to save Austin's ass because he hates The Hart Foundation as much as the other guy in the WWF. Michaels wants to make another thing clear, he has fallen off ladders, he has been tossed off the top of 15 foot high steel cages long before he got here, and he could've got his head kicked in twice last week, but it would've hurt but Michaels would've gotten himself back in the game again and Austin did not do him any favors, Austin's saying that Michaels isn't tough, what he's saying is he would kick his ass unless he wants to go backstage, Michaels tells Austin that he may just stun him whether he likes it or not and that is the bottom line, and both men start to exchange blows with one another and it's a hockey match between the two. Then suddenly a voice is heard, it's Bret Hart's voice as he appears with The Hart Foundation. Bret tells Austin and Michaels that they both are idiots fighting amongst themselves. These are the same two Texans and the same two hillbillies that he's both beaten at the same time and this is why he's advanced to the 1997 King of The Ring. Bret says that he is going to win the King of The Ring what are Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels going to do, fight and fight they will, but they're both fighting for the same cause, they want the Whole Hart Foundation, but they want to issue a challenge to Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels like Austin and Michaels did when Michaels challenged him last week for the Intercontinental Championship and Austin is challenging The Bulldog tonight for the European Championship, they can step in the ring next week with Owen and Bulldog again for the Tag Team Titles if they can get their crap together, Michaels says that those two nimrods can't figure out that he and Austin can't co exist and he'd be more than happy to find a better partner than Austin cause they can't go along, it ain't going to be him and Stone Cold, he will go back there tonight backstage and find a partner. Austin says that he can't clean a toilet, he doesn't need his sorry ass, what he will do because Jesse Ventura wants him do, he'll find a partner that weighs 75 pounds or 75 years old, it ain't going to be him in his corner becausehe doesn't need nobody. Austin says that he doesn't need Michaels to help him win the European Championship tonight. Michaels gets offended by the toilet comment and begins to fight Austin again, both officials and refs get in there to break it up, but who will be Austin's partner or Michaels's partner?. The Commentators talk about Tonight, The King of The Ring Tournament will continue with Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Tajiri kicking it off in the first match of the night and also The Undertaker is here tonight, he will address the secret of Paul Bearer and also address his King of The Ring Challenger, Faarooq.
div align="center"] (break)[/div] Match 1: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Hunter Hearst Helmsley w/Chyna vs Tajiri In 1995, Hunter Hearst Helmsley won the King of The Ring, Last Year he failed to advance in the tournament but tonight he faces Tajiri to see if he can advance to the King of The Ring. Tajiri starts off the match by hitting some punches and kicks on Helmsley but Helmsley shoves him down and does his curtsy on Tajiri and remember the winner of this match will face either Brian Christopher or Mankind. Helmsley wears down Tajiri in the middle of the match but Tajiri fights back and almost wins the match by hitting his handspring elbow but only gets a two count. Tajiri almost wins the match by hitting the buzzsaw kick, but The Blueblood counters it and nails Tajiri with the pedigree and gets the victory to advance to the 1997 King of The Ring, And Helmsley has made history, he could be one of the two men to win the King of The Ring twice. Bret won in 1994, Helmsley won in 1995, but can one of them win in 1997. Winner: Hunter Hearst Helmsley JR and The King take us to Mankind in the backstage area, Mankind says for all his life he's been made fun of, he's sat in that dark basement of hell, he's wrestled with a missing ear, he's put his body through thumbtacks and skewers and barbedwire and C4 Explosions, all his life, he was called the King of Hardcore, But he would love to be called King, he's going to show Brian Christopher no mercy right now and then only then, He goes through Hunter Hearst Helmsley and all of the other competitors, then he will march right to the World Wrestling Federation Championship and he will have a nice day when he wins the championship. (break) Match 2: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Mankind vs Brian Christopher As soon as Christopher finishes up with his entrance, Mankind surprises Christopher with the Mandible Claw and just like that, the match ends in a record of 15 seconds, Mankind has defeated Brian Christopher and will face Hunter Hearst Helmsley at the King of The Ring in the Quarterfinals. Winner: Mankind
Backstage, JR and The King take us to Shawn Michaels and it seems like he has found Ken Shamrock as his partner, Shawn says that this is a dangerous situation so what does he do, there's one guy important, the World's Most Dangerous Man Ken Shamrock, a man he can count on and a man he can trust. Shamrock says that this is a honor to team with Shawn and if Shawn takes care of Owen, Shamrock will take care of The British Bulldog. And then after, he hasn't forgotten of what Bret Hart did at WrestleMania 13, he will have to make Bret tap out and his goal will win the entire King of The Ring and become the World Wrestling Federation Champion and when it's time to knuckle up, he will do just that.
(break) Match 3: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Owen Hart vs Flash Funk Owen's had a real problem with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels tonight and he's taking on Flash Funk, Flash and Owen get into a good slugfest with Flash getting the advantage but Owen battles back in the match and almost tries to get the win by using Bret's Sharpshooter, but suddenly he sees Shawn Michaels on the entryway staring down Owen. Michaels stares down Owen and that allows Flash to surprise Owen with a cross body off the top rope. Flash heads to the top rope and hits his signature 450 splash on Owen to get the upset victory and Flash has advanced to the King of The Ring, but he will face either Vader or Ahmed Johnson as this is the last qualifying match tonight. Winner: Flash Funk
Backstage, The Hart Foundation are throwing a fit backstage throwing chairs and all accessories around that Shawn Michaels has screwed over The Hart Foundation again, they go back to the arena in where the commentators say that The Undertaker is coming up next. (break) A clip is shown of last week of where Paul Bearer demanded The Undertaker come back to him or he will reveal the secret, and another clip is shown of The Nation attacking The Undertaker, The Undertaker is here tonight and he is going to address the situation up next. Hour 2 kicks off with The Undertaker making his way to the ring as Vince McMahon introduces him and what a crazy seven days The Undertaker has had, The Undertaker will meet Faarooq for the WWF Championship at the King of The Ring, but what secret does Paul Bearer have on The Undertaker?. McMahon asks Undertaker that he will be defending the WWF Title against Faarooq at the King of The Ring after that savage beatdown he suffered last week, now he has Ahmed Johnson on his side and the rest of the Nation, but before Faarooq is talked about, he would like to get Undertaker's comments on the secret that Paul Bearer was going to reveal and if he could enlighten the fans and Vince for that matter. Taker says that before he does, he would like to take this time to talk about Faarooq. Taker says that he's been watching Faarooq real closely since he formed the Nation of Domination, last week, Faarooq and his henchmen decided to play the race card, Taker tells Faarooq that he needs to understand that he is not the white savior because he doesn't recognize the color of the skin or the content of anyone's character because everyone in America is free to have the color of the skin because he ain't a racist, he ain't white or black, what he is though is the reaper of wayward souls and he's always been the reaper of wayward souls and he always will, he's fought people black and white since the beginning of his time in the World Wrestling Federation, and Faarooq won't be no obstacle, And when it is all said and done when King of The Ring is over and when Faarooq is sitting in the dressing room and he's wondering why he ain't the WWF Champion, well it's not because Faarooq's black, it is because he couldn't beat The Undertaker, Taker goes to leave but McMahon goes to ask him about Paul Bearer's secret last week. Taker says that out of respect for the fans and McMahon, this is not the time to talk about it, like he said last week what happens in the dark should always stay in the dark. Then a voice is heard, it's Paul Bearer's voice. Bearer says that it's the time right now and he suggests that Undertaker listen, remember that dark, cloudy, rainy drizzling morning when they lowered The Undertaker's mother and father's casket into the dark, wormy earth?. When he stood there that he would never let that secret out, The Undertaker knows what Paul Bearer's talking out, the fire has opened up some old wounds, Undertaker burned Paul Bearer and now it's time he burns him. Taker tells Paul to wait, Bearer says that he doesn't owe The Undertaker anything and he's going to tell the whole world what the secret is just like he should've done when The Undertaker won the title at WrestleMania 13. He was going to open up Pandora's box. Taker tells Paul to shut his mouth and listen, Paul then tells Undertaker to come back to him now or he will tell it all. Taker says that he needs more time to think about it. Bearer says that he does owe him a little bit, how does next week sound, he will give Undertaker seven sunsets and if he's not back or subservient to him, he will open Pandora's box and he will have the secret and it will be all over but the crying, so The Undertaker has to make a decision either join Paul Bearer or will he reveal that secret?. Backstage, Stone Cold is in a locker room as he knocks on somebody's door, somebody says "in a minute" and it turns out it's Sable's door. Austin goes to Sable who is half naked and having an Austin 3:16 T-Shirt covered, Sable tells Austin just a minute. Austin apologizes and tells Sable that he's looking for a partner and that he's sorry he's bothered. Sable tells Austin to close the door behind him, Austin tells Sable that she doesn't need to holler about it.
(break) Backstage again, Stone Cold is still looking for a partner and tells the guy that all he's got to do is stand on the apron and be his partner because Jesse Ventura won't let him do it by himself, the guy says he's scared and the guy turns out to be Harvey Whippleman, we haven't seen Whippleman since WrestleMania 10 when he was buried alive by The Undertaker, then suddenly The Brooklyn Brawler shows up and tells Austin that he would love to be his partner and he would do great with him, Austin tells Brawler that he thinks he can do the job. Austin thinks about it, but then decides to beat on The Brawler and tosses him on the RAW Set telling Brawler that he sucks and he's a bigger piece of trash than he is and then he threatens Whippleman telling him that Whippleman will be Austin's partner and he's going to sit his stupid ass on the corner and watch him kick Owen and Bulldog's ass. It looks like an odd couple there?.
Match 4: King of The Ring Qualifying Match Vader vs Ahmed Johnson w/The Nation This is the final King of The Ring Qualifying Match as Vader takes on the Newest Member of the Nation of Domination, Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed has been aggressive since he's joined the Nation of Domination and he's showing it right now by going after the former WWF Champion Vader. Vader however makes a comeback in this match as the fans are cheering for Vader rather than Ahmed despite knowing that both men are heels. The end of the match comes when Ahmed holds Vader up for a clothesline by Mabel, but Vader rolls out of the way and Mabel accidentally gets Ahmed. Vader sees Mabel and hits him with a clothesline. Vader sees Ahmed down and gets set to hit the Vaderbomb and he connects with it in a big way, but before he goes for the cover, Crush, Faarooq and Kama all run in to attack Vader and Vader has advanced to the King of The Ring by winning the match. Winner By DQ: Vader Vader does his best to fight the Nation off and he does a pretty good job of doing so, but the numbers game are too much as Faarooq hits Vader with a bodyslam. But then The Undertaker suddenly makes the save and look at The Undertaker go right for the Nation. The Nation then get the numbers game however but Vader gets to his feet and look at Vader, he's helping The Undertaker fight off The Nation, eventually The Nation retreat. Then Vader and Undertaker stare each other down, Vader begins to scream at The Undertaker telling Undertaker to join Paul Bearer next week or he will tell the secret because he knows Paul Bearer better. He then gets in Undertaker's face, but Undertaker grabs Vader by the throat and chokeslams him to the mat, The Undertaker has not forgotten about his arch nemesis Vader. But Undertaker has one week to join Paul Bearer, he's on a collision course with Faarooq, but he's got more agendas than fighting Faarooq. (break) Match 5: The New Age Outlaws vs Bob Holly and Bart Gunn There apparently is a new tag team in town as The Roadie who will now be called The Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have now teamed up together and they waste no time taking it to Holly & Gunn. Gunn & Holly try to fight back and they do a good job of doing so, but Billy wins the match by hitting his brother Bart with the rocker dropper to get the victory and what a win for The New Age Outlaws. Winners: The New Age Outlaws Backstage, JR and The King take us to The Hart Foundation in where Bret says that he doesn't care if Owen and Bulldog have to wrestle twice next week against Shawn Michaels and his partner or Steve Austin and his partner as well, they are going to remain the Tag Team Champions like always, but tonight Bulldog is going to give Stone Cold a sample of what is going to happen next week and they wish The Bulldog luck. (break) Match 6: WWF European Championship Match Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The British Bulldog Will Stone Cold win his first singles championship here in the WWF tonight?. It might happen, Austin and Bulldog get into a fist fight with Austin gaining the upper hand on The Bulldog, both of these men will face off next week in a tag team match for The Tag Team Titles, Bulldog battles back and hits Austin with a big clothesline and takes him over the top rope. Bulldog tries to toss Austin into the steel steps but Austin counters and shoves The Bulldog into the steel steps. Bulldog eventually fights back back in the ring and almost wears down Austin but Austin fights back and throws right hands at the British Bulldog. Austin tries to go for the Stunner but Bulldog tries to hit him with a running powerslam and tries to do it, but Austin ducks it and nails the Stone Cold Stunner, we could have a new European Champion. Austin's going to win the European Title, but he doesn't go for the cover, why?. Is because The Hart Foundation have begun to run out to attack Austin. Winner By DQ: Stone Cold Steve Austin They begin to beat Austin down like a pack of wolves, The Hart Foundation are, but suddenly Shawn Michaels shows up with a steel chair in hand and chases all the members of the Hart Foundation away, then suddenly Jim Ross gets in the ring and has a microphone in his hand, Ross says that according to President Ventura, both Austin and Michaels will not have their partners next week, because next week it will be Austin and Michaels taking on Owen and Bulldog for the WWF Tag Team Titles, both men look shocked and angry by that decision, Michaels screams at Austin saying that he can't trust Austin as far as he can throw him, then both men begin to exchange blows just like at the beginning of the show and they're going at it at the end of the show, officials, referees and superstars all come down but Austin and Michaels begin to fight them off, when is this animosity between Austin and Michaels going to stop as they go at it again, it is no use for these officials, refs and superstars to stop these two, RAW goes off the air with Michaels and Austin continuing to go at it.

WWF RAW IS WAR - May 26. 1997
Clips are shown of last week of the fight between Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels and the announcement that they would be facing Owen Hart and British Bulldog for the WWF Tag Team Titles, followed by Paul Bearer announcing his secret to The Undertaker.
Vince McMahon and Jim Ross are your hosts for Monday Night RAW as they say that RAW will be an epic night with the Tag Team Championship on the line and also will The Undertaker join Paul Bearer or will Paul Bearer give it up?
The Glass Breaks as Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way to the ring as Jim Ross is about ready to interview him, but the question on everyone's mind will Austin and Michaels co-exist tonight?. Then Shawn Michaels's music plays in the arena as he makes his way out, JR is ready to interview the two. Ross says that if Austin and Michaels can put aside their personal differences in an attempt to win the Tag Team Championship. Austin goes to speak and says that as far as he's the captain, he can co-exist with anyone if he can take the Tag Team Championships away from The Hart Foundation. Austin says that he still does not like Michaels. Michaels responds by saying that no one likes him and says that they are both mean Two SOB's that were born from Texas and these Texans are going to do what they do best and that's whip Canadian Ass and take the WWF Tag Team Championship. Austin says that he accepts the fact that he and Michaels can co-exist, But he wants Michaels to know something, he never likes Shawn Michaels, he never has and he never will. They won't be exchanging Christmas cards or Thanksgiving Dinner or anything else like that, but the only common denominator is they can win the WWF Tag Team Titles together, then suddenly The Legion of Doom's music plays in the arena as they come out, The Legion of Doom are supposed to be in action after this interview as they take on The Headbangers. The Legion of Doom begin to say something as Hawk and Animal tell Austin and Michaels if they can beat Owen and Bulldog for the titles tonight, give them their shot next week. Michaels and Austin both agree reluctantly as they both leave the ring. A clip is shown of Brother Love introducing The Undertaker to Paul Bearer as assumingly we're going to see clips of the history between The Undertaker and Paul Bearer tonight. (break) Match 1: Tag Team Match The Legion of Doom vs The Headbangers The Legion of Doom have asked for their title match next week, but tonight they take on The Headbangers in this awesome Tag Team Match. Hawk and Animal start off the match with amazing offense, but the Headbangers are able to fight the seasoned veterans off and battle back in this contest, and many think The Headbangers are close to knocking The Legion of Doom off, but they battle back and hit the Doomsday Device on Thrasher to get the victory. Winners: The Legion of Doom The Commentators take us to Faarooq and The Nation. Faarooq talks about the blackmail Paul Bearer is putting on The Undertaker, But he really doesn't care about The Undertaker's past, all he cares about is winning the World Wrestling Federation Championship and finally everyone will be proud of Faarooq because a black man will win the WWF Championship, and if Undertaker's really nervous about losing everything including that title at the King of The Ring, then Undertaker does not have the guts to be a champion, at the King of The Ring, he's going to tuck his tail and run with the ass whooping Faarooq is going to give him. Faarooq says that later tonight, D' Lo Brown is going to make his in-ring debut, he's trained him and he's more dominant and focused than ever. And when King of The Ring is over, The Nation will be stronger than ever. And one more thing if Austin and Michaels do win the Tag Team Championship, then he'll pick either Ahmed, Mabel, Crush or Kama to pick the bones, and with Faarooq as WWF Champion, and the Nation as Tag Team Champions, no one can stop The Nation of Domination. (break) Another clip is shown of Paul Bearer leading The Undertaker to the WWF Championship two times, first at the 1991 Survivor Series and at WrestleMania 9. And Speaking of Paul Bearer, he is backstage with McMahon asking him the question of spilling the beans tonight, is he concerned of any harm, Bearer asks McMahon how stupid does McMahon think that Bearer is, he has all the bases covered, the secret is safe with his attorney in his safe deposit box and he has the key, so if anything happens, the secret will be revealed and the clock is ticking for The Undertaker. He doesn't give a damn anymore, if Undertaker doesn't come back to him, the secret will be revealed finally. Match 2: Goldust w/Marlena vs Brian Christopher w/Jerry Lawler Should be an impressive matchup here as Goldust goes one on one with Brian Christopher, Goldust also has a date at the King of The Ring as he takes on Terry Funk in the quarterfinals. And speaking of Terry Funk, he will team with Mankind tonight to take on Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Vader. Christopher gets some momentum against Goldust but Goldust is able to battle back and hits Christopher with the Curtain Call. Winner: Goldust Backstage, The Undertaker is in a dark room with McMahon asking him about the comments made by Faarooq. Undertaker says that he has two weeks time to worry about Faarooq, he doesn't give a damn about the comments he's made, he's not worried about the ass whooping Faarooq will put on him. But in less than one hour's time, he's got to make a decision, a decision that can affect the rest of his life, and then after that decision is revealed, whether he likes it or not, he's going to turn his attention to Faarooq, because Faarooq says that Undertaker's really nervous of losing everything, well Faarooq should be nervous when he puts him down at the King of The Ring. (break) Match 3: The New Age Outlaws vs Doug Furnas and Phillip Lafon The New Age Outlaws were very impressive last week as they won their first match as a Tag Team, they may look very impressive again tonight, Furnas and Lafon get some offense in against The New Age Outlaws, but somehow The Outlaws make a comeback and get the victory with Dogg hitting Furnas with the Pumphandle Slam to get the victory. Winners: The New Age Outlaws Backstage, Stone Cold Steve Austin is being interviewed and before he does, he gets jumped by Brian Pillman, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart and Bret Hart. The Hart Foundation have jumped The Rattlesnake apparently. (break) Back from break, Stone Cold is looking for Shawn Michaels but it looks like he got jumped too, Michaels gets up and Austin and Michaels begin to argue with officials and referees getting in the way. Match 4: D' Lo Brown w/The Nation vs Bart Gunn This is D' Lo's first Match as he takes on Bart Gunn in this scientific match, Bart has not really gained momentum at all recently and it shows as he gets a little offense, but D' Lo is able to get the win by hitting a modified spinebuster powerbomb to get the victory in his first match. Winner: D' Lo Brown (break) Back from Break, Vince McMahon is ready to interview Bret Hart who makes his way to the ring, it looks as if Bret is the odds on favorite to win the 1997 King of The Ring. McMahon picks up a mic and says that Bret's really been proud of himself recently since he was the first man to qualify for the King of The Ring. Bret says that he proved everyone wrong at Judgment Day when he beat the greatest wrestler of all time, well he takes that back, not the greatest wrestler of all time, Shawn Michaels. Bret says that now that he beat Shawn Michaels, he can focus his attention to the King of The Ring, Bret downplays all the people in the tournament, Bret says that Flash Funk is the first guy he wants to talk about, Flash Funk likes to prance around and dance to the people, Flash got a cheap victory over his brother Owen, what does Flash think he can lace up to Owen Hart's boots, If Flash somehow gets through Vader and all the others and should Bret go on to the finals, well Flash may not even have a prayer, Bret then moves on to Vader and says that last year Vader was the cause for his downward spiral, just because Vader wears a mask and likes to destroy everyone for his pleasure, it's just because he's like all those Americans, likes to hide behind comedic masks, it's something that the Kids see nowadays. Then, he moves onto Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Bret says that even though he respects Helmsley, they've both won the King of The Ring, he just sees Helmsley as a worthless blueblood scum. Bret then goes on to talk about Goldust, Bret says that Goldust is just a freak that needs physical help, the last time he did a movie, he didn't know where Hollywood was. Bret then talks about Terry Funk, a guy who cripples himself all the time and the fans cheer for garbage like that, that's the blood thirsty americans way. He then talks about Mankind who says that Mankind is just like all those idiots who don't even have a brain, what has Mankind done for the past few years in wrestling?, set himself on fire, get blown through barbedwire and got sent on thumbtacks and also had somebody rip his ear out in Japan. Bret then talks about his first opponent for the King of The Ring, Ken Shamrock, Bret says that the last time he and Shamrock were in the ring was WrestleMania 13 when Shamrock had to restrain Bret for trying to stop him from hurting and crippling Stone Cold Steve Austin even more. Bret says that Shamrock has come a long way since he's joined the World Wrestling Federation but at the King of The Ring, he's going to stop Shamrock's momentum and then when he eliminates Shamrock, he's going to eliminate the others, and then after, he's going to make history by becoming a two-time King of The Ring and after he will go to Summerslam to win the WWF Championship so if Vince or JR doesn't mind. He would like to sit on the commentary table to watch the Tag Team Match. (break) Match 5: Tag Team Match Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Vader w/Chyna vs Mankind and Terry Funk All four of these men will both be in the King of The Ring Tournament, but Mankind and Funk may not be able to co-exist because of their history at WrestleMania 13. Mankind and Funk are able to team up to get offense against Helmsley and Vader, but Helmsley and Vader fight back in the match and they do a good job of wearing down Funk while Bret continues to blast the four on commentary. Bret says that all four of them could not lace up to his boots. Funk tries to fight back but Helmsley plants him with a DDT. Helmsley goes for the cover but Mankind breaks up the count. Funk is able to fight back by hitting Helmsley with a German Suplex and makes the hot tag to Mankind. Mankind and Vader are both in the ring and these two men are exchanging blows with Mankind getting the momentum. Mankind brings the former WWF Champion down with a big clothesline. Helmsley gets in only for Mankind to nail him with an atomic drop and Mankind hits a running bulldog taking Helmsley down. Vader gets to his feet and grabs Mankind by the throat and tries a chokeslam but Funk stops the chokeslam attempt and Funk and Mankind both team up against Vader, they're working together against the big guy but Vader hits a double clothesline taking both Mankind and Funk down. Vader grabs Funk and tosses him over the top rope to the floor. Mankind gets to his feet and kicks Vader in the gut and nails a Double Arm DDT on Vader. Mankind goes for the cover but Helmsley gets in the ring and hits Mankind with a spinebuster. Funk gets back in the ring and hits Helmsley with a diving cross body. Funk and Helmsley are out of the ring and Mankind and Vader are up to their feet. Mankind gets Vader with the Mandible Claw, but wait a minute here comes Bret Hart with a steel chair and Bret hits Mankind in the head with the chair and that's a Disqualifaction win for Mankind and Terry Funk. Winners By DQ: Mankind and Terry Funk
Vader then begins to yell at Bret telling him what's his deal. Bret tells him to back off, Vader turns to leave the ring but Bret nails him in the back with the chair as well. Funk gets in and Bret hits him in the ribs. Bret then beats on Funk sadistically with the chair, then suddenly Ken Shamrock gets in the ring and hits Helmsley with a clothesline on the way to the ring. Shamrock gets in the ring and Bret drops the chair and charges at Shamrock only for Shamrock to hit him with a belly to belly suplex and Shamrock is in the zone and look at Shamrock punching away at the former WWF Champion. Shamrock grabs Bret's ankle and tries to go for the anklelock but Bret rolls out of the ring. Shamrock may have tried to attempt the anklelock on Bret Hart, but could he do it at the King of The Ring?.
(break)
A clip is shown of The Undertaker and Paul Bearer's history of what happened at Summerslam 1996 with Paul Bearer turning his back on The Undertaker and joining forces with Mankind. Backstage, Paul Bearer is being interviewed again and says that the sands in the hourglass are the days of The Undertaker's life, the secret is burning inside him, he's got to let it come out, that it's been burning in his mind for so long. Bearer remembers when he was in The Undertaker's corner, every monster, giant and even every WWF Superstar has tried to put The Undertaker down on his knees, but in just a few moments, he's going to do what no giant, warrior or immortal could do, he was going to bring The Undertaker to his knees and it wouldn't take long. Match 6: Tiger Ali Singh w/Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund vs Flash Funk w/The Funkettes Flash Funk defeated Owen Hart last week to advance to the King of The Ring and he's got a bit of momentum to show for it as he takes on Tiger Ali Singh. The match nearly doesn't take long at all as Funk gets the win by hitting the 450 splash on Singh. Winner: Flash Funk Backstage, The Undertaker is secluded in a dark room, has he made the decision?. Taker says that sometimes in life there are decisions that are forced to make that they don't want to make, but they have to, so yes he's made his decision and he's going to do it in the ring, but he warns Paul Bearer to do what he has to do and in the end, The Undertaker will do what he has to do. Backstage in the Hart Foundation's locker room, The Hart Foundation begin to pump Owen and Bulldog up as their Tag Team Title Matchup against Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels is up next, also backstage is Shawn Michaels walking and Stone Cold is walking on the other side backstage, can these two get along next?. (break) A pre-taped promo is shown with a man introducing himself saying that his name is Don Callis, Callis says for far too long the WWF has been more edgy, a little more raunchy, but now it's about to get a whole lot bigger and badder, Callis says that he's searched around the block trying to find a superstar to make his debut, he's looked high and low but he failed until one day he found this great huge monster that he believes will lead this man to such great heights and even the World Wrestling Federation Championship someday, then it's revealed to be a large man standing with Callis, he must be 7 feet or 6'11, Callis says that this man fears nobody and he's not afraid of anyone, he's from Ontario, just like The Hart Foundation, and this guy is a monster, his name is Kurrgan. Callis says that Kurrgan is going to destroy the World Wrestling Federation like never before, and everyone better watch out.

Owen then surprises Shawn with a spinning heel kick and whips him into the buckle and goes for a move but Michaels gets out of the way and Owen makes the tag to Bulldog and here comes Austin. Austin comes in a house on fire. Austin stomps away at The Bulldog and goes for the Stunner but Owen kicks him and as the referee tries to maintain control. Shawn sneaks up from behind and nails Bulldog with the Sweet Chin Music and Austin hits the Stone Cold Stunner on Bulldog, 1. 2. 3. And we have new WWF Tag Team Champions!!!!. Winners and New WWF Tag Team Champions: Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels After The Match, The Hart Foundation begin to put a beatdown on Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold, they take Austin out of the ring and begin to do the damage to Shawn Michaels but as they do so, The Legion of Doom, Ken Shamrock, Terry Funk and Mankind all run out to help. It's a 7 on 5. The Hart Foundation are able to retreat. Austin gets back in the ring and stares down Shawn and Shawn and Austin are the Tag Team Champions, Austin gives Shawn his half of the belt, these two may not like each other, but they are going to be an odd duo as the WWF Tag Team Champions. A final clip is shown of the events leading up to WrestleMania 13 with The Undertaker winning the WWF Championship and the events of Backlash in where Paul Bearer tried to take The Undertaker back, but Undertaker would set Paul Bearer on fire, will The Undertaker join Paul Bearer or will the secret be revealed?. It's Moment of Truth time next!. (break) Backstage, The Hart Foundation are frustrated and angry. Bret then screams at the camera saying that tonight's been a bad night all around, so Jesse Ventura needs to clean this mess up, Bret demands that Jesse Ventura give Owen and Bulldog their rightful rematch at the King of The Ring so they can win back the WWF Tag Team Championship. Michaels and Austin could not get their acts together, and that's why people like the United States of America are cheaters. Have no common class what so ever. In the ring, The Undertaker's old music hits as we all know who's making their way down to the ring, Paul Bearer, what will the secret be?. What will The Undertaker do?. We know that next week, The Legion of Doom will battle Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels for the Tag Team Titles and also Bret Hart returns to the ring on RAW to take on Flash Funk with Flash Funk making the challenge. McMahon is in the ring with Bearer. Bearer says that he's been more than fair in this situation, the allotted time he gave The Undertaker is now over. He gave Undertaker the 7 sunsets, the seventh sunset has gone down, it's been burning inside him for years when Brother Love brought him to the WWF, he didn't bring him to the streets or bring him to the metro or bring him to the motel, he's known The Undertaker long enough, he's known his family for years and he knows that, and Undertaker knows the secret he will reveal to the entire world, he knows what it is, Bearer says on that Cold, Drizzly Rainy Morning, the burial vaults were in the ground, the worms were crawling around, a little mist was coming off the tree, tears were rolling down The Undertaker's face cause he was standing on the gravesite of his mother and father, he was the mortician and the funeral director, there was not two graves, not two, but three graves in the cemetery that day, the ones of his mother and his father, but then The Undertaker's music plays as he makes a beeline to the ring with frustration on his face. Taker takes the mic and tells Paul that he hates Paul with all that he is, he loathes and despises him for what he's done and what he's forcing him to do tonight. Taker says that although the hounds of hell may bay at the secret that his attorney will reveal because he won't be able to, because he won't be able to live to tell it, he hopes that the ones that love him, the ones that love him in the past, and the ones that cared for him will be able to forgive for what he's going to do tonight. Taker grabs Paul by the Throat and it's over for Paul, it could be all over. Bearer wags a finger in his face telling Undertaker to do it. Taker then lets go, it seems like Bearer is controlling The Undertaker. Taker then gets down on one knee and kneels down to Paul Bearer. The fans begin to boo not at The Undertaker but at Paul Bearer, it looks like Paul Bearer is in control of the Deadman again. And that does not spell good news for everyone, RAW goes off the air with Undertaker continuing to kneel down to Paul Bearer.

Very nice opening dialogue between Michaels and Austin. And really am hoping to see how this effects everything in the WWF, and what will be WrestleMania 14's fate. Bearer's secret and The Undertaker gimmick is building nicely and it's being replicated very nice here. Very nice to see Shamrock hunt Bret and add good edge to the 97 King Of The Ring. As well as fantastic to see Michaels and Austin do it and united front form against the Harts. The seeds are starting to form for Canadian Stampede as well here. Bearer is building to the debut of Kane, and Bearer's control over The Deadman is reinforced. Fantastic stuff building to 97 King Of The Ring I look forward to Austin and Michaels going far.

More or less waiting for the 1997 King of the Ring but as for whoever wins the 1997 King of The Ring...I wonder if the winner will get a WWF Championship match at SummerSlam 1997?

WWF RAW IS WAR - June 2. 1997
RAW kicks off with clips of last week of Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels winning the WWF Tag Team Titles, followed by The Undertaker rejoining Paul Bearer. Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are of course the commentators tonight as The WWF Champion's music plays in the arena as he comes out to a standing ovation despite joining up with Paul Bearer reluctantly. Vince McMahon is in the ring waiting for The Undertaker. McMahon asks about the explanation of what happened last week between him and Paul Bearer. Taker says that it's very simple, but it's more complicated, it's all about blackmail and last week, he did what he had to do, not to protect myself, but to protect the Creatures of The Night. He must admit when he had Paul Bearer by his fat neck, it would have felt great to break his neck like a twig, but still, that would not have helped the circumstances that surround him and the secret now. He knows when he passes on to the darkside, that he won't be going to hell because he is already in hell right now, Last week, Innocent People were on the verge of being hurt and destroyed, so he's gotta take the path with Paul Bearer as his manager once again, it's not going to be easy, but nobody will understand why and he knows full well that he will face the persecution and the ridicule of all the Creatures of The Night, the ones he cares about the most, but the one thing that will always surround Paul Bearer, when Bearer's world comes to the end and he's sitting in the basement of hell, he will make a deal with the devil inside that Paul burns an eternity forever more, but that was last week, next week is King of The Ring, He wants to move on to Faarooq, Taker says that he's heard of Faarooq's athletic career, a good sports career to be exact. But The Undertaker has heard the talk and now let's see if Faarooq can walk the walk. Undertaker says that at King of The Ring, whether he's in his mental state of mind or not, he's going to do whatever he will do to retain the WWF Championship. McMahon talks to Taker about the King of The Ring Tournament and who Taker is likely looking forward to wrestle at Summerslam. The Deadman says that to the eight gladiators that are going to vye for the King of The Ring Trophy, let's make one thing perfectly clear, he's the King of Darkness, If that person wins the King of The Ring and goes to Summerslam, they may try to take that title from him, but it will be a long road for that person to try to take that title from him. Then suddenly Paul Bearer walks to ringside and responds to the remarks, Bearer says that Undertaker talks a little bit too much, maybe he should do a bit of the talking too?. Bearer says that The Undertaker is his personal instrument of destruction, Undertaker's always been his personal instrument of destruction for six years, he's led him to the WWF Title two times, He and Undertaker put many souls to rest, but how dare The Undertaker sneak down to ringside with McMahon and talk behind his back, Undertaker will do what Paul Bearer says whether he likes it or not, and together, one by one, they are going to destroy the WWF Roster, whether bad guy or good guy. And one by one, when the WWF Superstars are destroyed, he will be the happiest man on earth. Then suddenly The Nation of Domination's music hits as they come out. Faarooq says that the two can stand there and argue about who is the personal instrument of destruction, but this time next week, Faarooq will become the WWF Champion after he beats The Undertaker at the King of The Ring and if anyone sells out to blackmail does not deserve to be champion. Faarooq says that tonight he's going to soften up The Undertaker before King of The Ring, because The Undertaker will be taking on Ahmed Johnson in a non-title match. Faarooq tells Ahmed to teach The Undertaker a lesson and destroy him like he's going to do at the King of The Ring. Undertaker grabs the microphone and snatches it away from Paul Bearer. Taker says that if one of Faarooq's cronies want a match with him so bad, then he's got no problem taking care of Ahmed Johnson just like he will Faarooq. Undertaker throws the microphone down and stares down the Nation one by one as RAW takes a commercial break.
(break) Match 1: Faarooq w/The Nation of Domination vs Goldust w/Marlena Faarooq is already in the ring as he goes one on one with one of the participants for the 1997 King of The Ring, Goldust. This is a good scientific contest between these two athletes. Faarooq and Goldust start the match off by exchanging blows with Goldust gaining the momentum on the challenger for the WWF Title this Sunday Night. Faarooq somehow battles back by hitting a DDT on Goldust but Goldust is able to kick out at two. Goldust makes a comeback in this match and attempts to nail the curtain call on Faarooq but Faarooq counters it into a spinebuster and gets the win in this match. And what a victory for the #1 Contender. Winner: Faarooq (break) Back from Break, McMahon introduces both Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels on a split screen. Michaels is the first to speak saying that he will captain the team for his good old buddy and his tag team partner Stone Cold Steve Austin, but the fact is, they won't be having BBQs or Beer or fight for the human race, the fact is at King of The Ring, they must work as a cohesive unit. Austin speaks telling Michaels that he will be the captain tonight to whip The Legion of Doom's ass. First of all, he doesn't trust Shawn Michaels nor anyone. They've got a match to take care against the greatest tag team of all time, but at the King of The Ring, They each share a common bond and that's the Canadian team of Owen Hart and British Bulldog. Austin says as much as he likes the country of United States, he couldn't care less about Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart's problems. The fact is he wants to kick Bret Hart's ass and that's the bottom line because he still hasn't forgotten about WrestleMania 13. Austin says that he and Shawn can put their differences aside or they could beat the hell out of each other. Michaels says that Austin has a point, they are going to put their differences aside tonight and at King of The Ring, they may not be the best tag team champions, but they each have a common bond, they will send The Hart Foundation back to Canada. Austin says that's all fine and dandy and that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so. Match 2: Vader vs Bart Gunn One of the 1997 King of The Ring Qualifiers, Vader gets way lot of momentum in this match against Bart. Bart does get a little bit of offense by hitting the right hands on the former 2-time WWF Champion but Vader fights back and hits him with a powerbomb and follows it up with the VaderBomb and could that be Flash Funk's fate at the King of The Ring?. Vader gets the victory, and if Vader scores with the Vader Bomb on one of the three men and wins the King of The Ring, then Vader could indeed get his rematch for the WWF Title, the title that was taken from him at WrestleMania 13 and he could win it back at Summerslam. Winner: Vader
Backstage, The Nation are talking strategy for Ahmed's match against The Undertaker, What a contest this is going to be later on tonight and also still to come Bret Hart will take on Flash Funk in his first match back on RAW.
(break) Match 3: Tag Team Match The New Age Outlaws vs The Public Enemy Should be a good tag team match between the reformed Billy Gunn and The Roadie who is now known as The Road Dogg. Their careers have gotten back on track ever since they joined forces, The Public Enemy get offense in against The New Age Outlaws but the newly reformed team are able to fight back and get the win with Billy hitting the famouser on Rocco to get the victory. Winners: The New Age Outlaws Backstage, The Undertaker is reluctantly walking with Paul Bearer, his match with Ahmed Johnson is next. Match 4: Non-Title Match The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer vs Ahmed Johnson w/The Nation of Domination Undertaker and Ahmed have not wrestled for the first time together but now this is the first match between these two. Ahmed gets some offense in against The Undertaker and he just overpowers him but Undertaker comes back and throws the hard right hands at Ahmed. Taker clotheslines Ahmed over the top rope and Ahmed gets to his feet in where The Nation tell Ahmed to battle back. Ahmed fights back in the match and hits a diving shoulder block on the Phenom but Undertaker kicks out at 2. Undertaker makes a comeback in the match and hits the signature ropewalk on Ahmed. Taker whips Ahmed into the ropes and nails a big boot but misses the leg drop. Ahmed nails Undertaker with a spinebuster and goes for the cover but Undertaker kicks out at 2. Ahmed whips Undertaker into the buckle but Undertaker knees him in the face and tries to hit him with the chokeslam but Ahmed breaks it and goes for a suplex but Taker counters it and finally connects with the chokeslam. Undertaker sets up for the tombstone piledriver but wait a minute here comes Faarooq. Faarooq hits Undertaker with a clothesline and that's a disqualifaction. Winner By DQ: The Undertaker
After the Match. Faarooq and The Nation begin to stomp on The Undertaker, Undertaker does his best however to fight back and he does a good job at it but the numbers are just too much and Undertaker is finally knocked down. D' Lo and Crush hold The Phenom up so Mabel can hit the big splash on The Undertaker, then suddenly Sycho Sid who makes his return comes out with the Legion of Doom. Sid and The LOD begin to save Undertaker from the Nation that the fight spills outside. Sid gets D' Lo with a chokeslam inside the ring. Meanwhile, Paul Bearer gets to the ring and begs Undertaker to get to his feet. Undertaker eventually sits up and Bearer loud mouths at him telling Undertaker that he should've destroyed all the members of the Nation, it looks like there's trouble in paradise on the first night of managerialship with The Undertaker and Paul Bearer.
(break)
A clip is shown of last week with Kurrgan and Don Callis. Callis says that his monster Kurrgan is ready to destroy anyone in the World Wrestling Federation, he wants the world to notice this 350-pound monster, no one in the WWF can stop this monster of a man, because Kurrgan is ready to take out anyone and he doesn't care who the first person is to step up to the plate.
Match 5: Bradshaw vs Jeff Hardy Bradshaw will not be participating in the 1997 King of The Ring, but he is back in action, it seems like Bradshaw has gained some new confidence as he just dominates Hardy and just beats him down unmercifully. Bradshaw gets the win and hits the clothesline from hell to get the victory. Winner: Bradshaw
Backstage, Hawk and Animal speak up about their Tag Team Title Match. Animal says that earlier tonight they did what they had to do to help The Undertaker in the fight against The Nation of Domination, but there is no way in hell that they wouldn't be focused on the Tag Team Title Match. Animal says that in the WWF they have been 3 time WWF Tag Team Champions, but they are looking to win the titles for a fourth consecutive time and that Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold have been having problems as an odd couple, well with all due respect. The Legion of Doom both respect them, but they are going to take the titles away. But Theirselves and Sid have got an approval to face The Nation of Domination at the King of The Ring, It will be 3 on 3. Hawk says that before King of The Ring starts, their party will begin when they become the Tag Team Champions and then after that they will have what's left of the Nation of Domination because it's going to be the end for them, What a Rush.
Backstage, Bret Hart is getting set for his return match as he takes on Flash Funk here on RAW.
(break)
Match 6: Bret Hart w/The Hart Foundation vs Flash Funk Bret Hart has not wrestled on RAW since March 31, 1997 and he takes on Flash Funk in this rare RAW Matchup. Flash and Bret start the match off with Bret doing a lockup on Flash only for Flash to return the favor by hitting a few dropkicks and a few armdrags but Bret fights back and anhiliates Flash, Flash somehow makes a comeback and almost wins with a moonsault but Bret kicks out at 2. Bret battles back but Flash goes for a small package and Bret still kicks out. Flash goes for a move off the top rope but Bret catches him by the legs and hits the sharpshooter on Funk and Funk has no choice but to tap out and Bret has won the match. Winner: Bret Hart
After the Match. The Hart Foundation begin to beat on Funk for a bit but then Ken Shamrock comes out with a steel chair chasing the rest of the Hart Foundation off, This Sunday though there will be no running as Ken Shamrock takes on Bret Hart in the Quarterfinals.
(break)
Before the main event begins, Sable comes down to plug the inflatable King of The Ring Chair, it's $11.99, she gets in the chair and does a lap dance in it, she sure looks hot sitting in that chair folks.
Match 7: WWF Tag Team Championship Match Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Legion of Doom Can Michaels and Austin get on the same page in their first title defense here tonight against The Legion of Doom?, and by the way, the commissioner has stated that without the tag team titles or with the Tag Team Titles, Michaels and Austin will still take on Owen Hart and The British Bulldog at the King of The Ring. Michaels and Hawk start off the match with Hawk hitting Michaels with a shoulder block. Shawn runs off the ropes and charges at Hawk only for Hawk to hit him with a press slam and a fistdrop. Hawk heads off the top rope and goes for a splash but Michaels rolls out of the way and hits a dropkick on Hawk and goes for the cover but Animal breaks up the count. Hawk nails Michaels with a clothesline and here comes Stone Cold, And look at this all four men are brawling in the ring with the Legion of Doom getting the advantage and sending Michaels and Austin over the top rope to the floor, but wait a minute here comes the entire Hart Foundation. The LOD get their momentum again by wearing down Austin and Michaels. Animal hits a diving shoulder block on Austin and goes for the cover but Austin kicks out at 2. Austin and HBK get their momentum back with Austin nailing a clothesline on Animal, The Hart Foundation are still watching this match. The Legion of Doom still continue their momentum, Michaels gets the tag and hits a cross body on Animal and Michaels and Austin now get momentum back in their favor wearing down Hawk. Hawk powers out of a Michaels headlock and hits a clothesline and both men are down and Hawk makes the hot tag to Animal. Animal gets in and hits dropkicks on both men. But Austin and Michaels wear him down and whip Animal off the ropes only for Animal to hit a double clothesline on both men. Animal whips Austin into the ropes and hits a powerslam. Animal goes for the cover but Michaels breaks the count. Hawk gets in the ring and charges at Michaels only for Michaels to nail him with a flying forearm. Michaels nips up only for Animal to hit him with a right hand. Austin gets to the top rope and nails a flying clothesline on Animal and both these teams want to survive here. Austin gets to his feet and goes for the Stunner but Animal grabs him in an electric chair drop and it could be Doomsday Device time. Hawk is on the top rope and it connects, Doomsday Device but wait here comes Michaels and Michaels nails Animal with Sweet Chin Music and Hawk gets in only to get a Sweet Chin Music as well but here comes The Hart Foundation and Bret, they all swarm on Michaels, Austin and The Legion of Doom. Winner: Draw
It's a 5 on 4 a mugging here, but The Legion of Doom begin to help out and try to even the odds, but here comes The Nation of Domination, they have issues with The Legion of Doom, The Hart Foundation and The Nation of Domination are teaming up here. Then suddenly, Terry Funk, Flash Funk, Mankind, Ken Shamrock, Goldust and Sycho Sid all run in and this is chaos. The Ring is filling up, we got a pier sixer here on Monday Night RAW. Vader and Hunter Hearst Helmsley also come out as well and this is all about the King of The Ring, everybody who's having issues with one another are brawling here in the ring, The Hart Foundation and The Nation of Domination begin to brawl with each other as well, then suddenly, The Undertaker runs to the ring and begins to clean house on everyone. Taker first chokeslams Helmsley and does the same thing to Goldust. And then he kicks Vader out of the ring. Kama also gets tossed out of the ring with a back body drop. Terry Funk tries his luck against The Phenom but Undertaker throws a right hand at him. Mankind then gets leveled with a kick to the face. The Undertaker is cleaning house here, Mabel and Crush charge at Undertaker but Undertaker fights them off one by one, Fights are spilling outside of the ring and The Undertaker is the only man standing and look at this The Undertaker runs off the ropes and hits a suicide dive taking out all of the superstars, Undertaker gets in the ring and there's Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer is smiling but look The Undertaker has Paul by the throat just like last week. Paul is begging The Undertaker to do it, or else he will reveal the secret. He will reveal it. Taker lets go of Paul Bearer and kneels down to him similar to last week, is this what Paul Bearer meant when he said take out each WWF Superstar cause it looks like The Undertaker just did?. Look at the bodies The Undertaker has taken out, but what will it be like this sunday at the King of The Ring?. Undertaker stares down Paul Bearer as RAW goes off the air.
