Austin throws Mankind over the ropes. Vince demands Austin to leave, as WWF Officials try to get him out, but can't. Austin attacks Kane, hits the ropes for a clothesline takedown to the outside. The Undertaker chokes Austin, but Austin kicks him for the Stunner! Triple H tosses the Undertaker out. Austin kicks Triple H and STUNNER! Austin throws out Triple H.

Winner: No Contest

Vince is furious and gets in the ring as Austin gets on the mic.



Austin: I have no problem opening up a can of whoop ass on any of these 20 superstars in the ring, but what I got a problem with is the fact that you've tried everything to take away my WWF title, and I just don't trust you. The bottom line is one way or another you'll either screw me whether it's having one of those jackasses with you referee a match or you'd call for the bell when someone's got me in a hold because Stone Cold doesn't play this way. I want a match with anyone fair and square. But if you won't have it dammit Vince let's go ahead, Austin vs. McMahon at Fully Loaded, who wants me to open up a can of whoop ass on Vince McMahon give me a hell ya (crowd chants hell ya), you heard'um Vince.

Vince: (gets pissed off on the outside and grabs a mic near the stage platform) You want a match, you got it!

JR: (on commentary) Vince McMahon just named himself the No. 1 Contender! Ba-god-almighty! Vince McMahon has no business being in the main event!

Hawk (w/Paul Ellering) def. Skull via pinfall

_______________________________________________

After a commercial break, Shane McMahon comes into Vince's office.



Shane: Dad this has gotten out of hand. Remember what happened the last time?



Triple H: (storms in) I was the last man standing Vince, I want a title shot.

Vince: Hold on guys look, Shane your my son, I love you, but dammit don't ever... and I mean ever tell me what to do. Triple H, you deserve a title shot there is no question about that, your time will come I promise, but I got something for you at Fully Loaded you bring out your DX Army and step in the ring with the New Nation in an eight-man tag.

Brisco: Don't worry Mr. McMahon, we've got the best trainers lined up for you.

Val Venis def. Funaki via pinfall. After the match, Taka Michinoku starts to assault Venis and he's doing it for his "sexual harrassment" of Mrs. Yamaguchi-san. Venis runs off as the Kai En Tai gang up on him and beat him down.

_______________________________________________



No MaaM (Marc Mero, Al Snow and Jacqueline) come out and get on the mic. They start talking trash about how Women don't cook these days and it's that reason that men are becoming more outta shape. They say that women are "takin our jobs", but that they'll never take a wrestlers job, because nobody wants to watch Women's wrestling. Sable makes her way out alone and says that she'll bring back women wrestling and she'll prove that she can, but it'll be her own way. She challenges Jacqueline to a "Bikini" Contest at Fully Loaded. Mero trashes Sable saying that only a skank like her would come up with a match like that, but since Jacqueline is more beautiful than Sable, "HE" will accept the challenge.



Sable starts talking about unfair treatment of women around the world, till Dustin Runnels shows up in a suit. He gets on the mic and says that Marlena is the cause of bringing down Goldust. He says that the "bible" teaches that women must serve their man and that Marc Mero is right about everything (he gets heat from the crowd). Sable tells him off and says that Marlena and her may not have seen eye to eye in the past, but she was the best thing Goldust ever had. Dustin "SLAPS" her in the face. Sable looks back and CLOTHESLINES Dustin! Jacqueline starts the assault on Sable, till Sable rips her garment revealing her Bikini! Lawler goes nuts about "puppies" as she runs off with the rest of No MaaM as RAW goes off air.

RAW is WAR
June 20th, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler



The Undertaker makes his way to RAW as Kane stands in front of him. He looks at Paul Bearer who is practically zombie that stands there with the urn in his hands and doesn't say a word at all.

Kane: (voice box) What did you do to my father?

Undertaker: You're the one who buried him....he is mine, and serves me alone.

Taker leaves as Kane looks towards them. Kevin Kelly gets to Kane and asks him how he feels about his match with Ken Shamrock tonight to determine the No. 1 contender for the WWF IC title. Kane gives him a cold stare and leaves.

The New Age Outlaws (c) def. The Quebecers via pinfall to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships

Backstage the Stooges and Shane are talking to Vince McMahon about his plans for Fully Loaded. Vince has been in the gym day in and day out working out to get ready. Shane is worried that Vince could get hurt, but Vince says he has a "Secret Weapon" that he'll bring to Fully Loaded and the world will finally see Stone Cold fall (laughs like a maniac).

Fully Loaded: In Your House
July 26th, 1998
Selland Arena, Fresno, California
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler

Val Venis def. Taka Michinoku (w/Yamaguchi and Mrs. Yamaguchi-san) via pinfall with the Money Shot. A straight-forward match that ends with Kai En Tai running out to go after Val Venis, but Val leaves through the crowd. JR says that they're not yet done with Val after Val blew a kiss to Mrs. Yamaguchi-san.

The Disciples of Apocalypse def. LOD 2000 (w/Paul Ellering) via pinfall in a Tag-team Tornado Match. The match has no tags as all four competitors are in the ring at once. Despite LOD dominating a part of the match, Ellering, who was their original manager betrays the duo as he knocks down Animal with the ring bell on the outside when Animal was hanging on the ropes for 8-Ball to get in the pin and win.

"Lord of Darkness" The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) def. The Rock via DQ. Despite a fast pace match, Taker almost ended the match with a tombstone till a run in ended the match in a DQ. Mabel makes his return to the WWF and attacks the Undertaker giving the Rock time to leave. He lands the big splash with his 485-pound girth. 



Kane def. Mankind (c) via pinfall to become the NEW WWF Intercontinental Champion.



Mankind attempts to take down Kane early on, but Kane overpowers him two minutes in as the big red machine gets in the chokeslam-tombstone combo for the pin and win. After the match, Kane is in the back with the IC title meeting Vince McMahon who is preparing for his match. Vince says he's "proud" of Kane and that soon he will have his vengeance.

Jacqueline (w/No MaaM = Mero, Snow and Dustin) def. Sable (w/Marlena) in a Bikini Contest with Jerry Lawler as Judge.



Sable made a surprise by bringing in Marlena. The contest went on with Sable going barebreasted though with "painted hands". Lawler who went nuts about "puppies" has to disqualify her because she wasn't wearing a full bikini. Jacqueline shows her bikini off and celebrates with No MaaM for winning.

The DX Army (Triple H (c), X-Pac, the New Age Outlaws (c)) (w/Chyna) def. The New Nation (Faarooq, D-Lo Brown, The Godfather, and Mark Henry) (w/Scorpio) via pinfall in an Eight-Man Tag match. Triple H pedigrees Faarooq and gets in the pinfall victory. After the match, the New Nation start arguing amongst each other as Faarooq who is up again tries to calm his members down.

_____________________________________________________________________

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) vs. Vince McMahon (w/"Secret Weapon" and Stooges) for the WWF Championship



Austin makes his way out first as JR notices that the champ usually gets in last, but this must be the work of Vince. Vince makes his way out apparently with his stooges (doesn't have a theme song yet) to alot of heat. Vince is on the outside and delays the match for Austin. Austin gets annoyed as he starts "kicking the turnbuckle" and tries to run to Vince only to "fall" and "twist his ankle". Austin shouts in a lot of pain. Vince looks excited as Shane runs out to stop him, but Vince threatens that he'll fire his own son from the WWF if he tries to stop him. Austin is in a corner in a lot of pain as Vince runs in the ring and finally starts to kick Austin. Austin slowly gets up and grabs Vince's foot. Austin has him in the middle of the ring and it looks like Austin was lying about his "ankle injury". Vince begs for mercy as Austin kicks Vince in the groin!

The bell rings and Austin is on fire, getting McMahon to the corner to a big pop as the crowd is on their feet for this one. Austin won't give up as he goes to the outside and starts to chase the Stooges who RUN to the back leaving Vince behind! Vince is up and flips off Austin. Austin runs in as Vince tries to punch out Austin. Austing brawls it up and kicks him for a BIG STUNNER! Vince bounces so hard that he knocks down the ref. Vince is outcold till suddenly a hooded figure in red runs out and JR is going crazy on the mic "I can't believe it! I can't believe it what is he doing here!"



It's Dr. Death Steve Williams who runs out and gets in the ring. He spears Austin and gets to the top rope for a flying shoulderblock. He gets in three backbreakers in a row and lands a huge lariat that sends Austin flipping to the outside. Austin sells it really well. JR hypes up Dr. Death as "the Undefeated" (kayfabe, as he lost once in the last decade, but WWF here doesn't recognize that loss). Dr. Death goes to the outside and starts beating up on Austin and slamming him on the steel steps till the referee is up. Vince gets into the corner as the referee counts Austin out.



Winner: Vince McMahon via Countout. Stone Cold retains the WWF Championship



Vince has a huge smirk as he celebrates big time in the ring. Austin is still unconscious on the outside as Dr. Death runs to the back. The Stooges make it back out with Shane with a "baloons/graffiti" falling from the ceiling and pyros exploding throughout the arenea as though it's the greatest WWF victory in history. The Stooges lift Vince up in the air as he celebrates as the PPV goes off air.

Dr. Death was originally supposed to feud with Austin, but the stupid "Brawl for All" injured him. It's one of the worst concepts ever and I'm glad I didn't include it in the diary. Since there is no Brawl for All, this is a better way to introduce him.

The Rock uses people just as he used Mankind, now he's using Mabel as he said weeks back that he has "allies" and doesn't need the Nation.

Since the next PPV is WWF SummerSlam 1998 I wonder if Austin will be defending the WWF Championship and if he does just who his opponent will be at the PPV...it can't be Dr Death because he just got here and Triple H after all he did win the 1998 King of the Ring so that at least guarantees him a WWF Championship match at SummerSlam against the champion but then again Triple H is also the WWF European Champion so he would essentially have to compete twice so who does that really leave?

RAW is WAR
August 3rd, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler

Champion Roll Call:

WWF Champion: Stone Cold Steve Austin
WWF Intercontinental Champion: Kane
WWF Tag Team Champions: The New Age Outlaws
WWF European Champion: VACANT
WWF Light Heavyweight Champion: Marc Mero

Triple H is in the ring with Chyna.



Triple H: On Sunday Night Heat, I gave up the WWF European Championship and now that title has been declared Vacant. On the next Sunday Night Heat my man X-Pac is getting his chance for the Vacant title. But I'm out here, without the whole DX army, because this is personal. Vince McMahon, I've been in your company for over three years in fact I debuted before Stone Cold. I've been a former Intercontinental Champion. I took over the D-Generation X from Shawn Michaels in the greatest coup in WWF history and at the King of the Ring, I won that tournament clean. I've given up the European Championship on Sunday Night Heat so that you could take notice and I've got one mission in my life and that is to become the next WWF Champion. So Mr. McMahon, will you or will you not give me a shot at the WWF title at SummerSlam? Come on out and answer me.

Triple H gets anxious and talks to Chyna till Vince finally makes his way out.



Vince: Hunter, look I've been watching you closely and yes you do deserve a title shot. In fact there are many in the WWF. The Rock is one of those deserving of the title and with Dr. Death Steve Williams here in the WWF now, I can't say for a fact as to whether or not your the No. 1 contender because I just don't think you can do it, but to be fair I haven't made up my mind.

Triple H: Tell me what I have to do to prove myself? Tell me what I have to do to be in the main event at SummerSlam.

Vince: If you could beat my man Dr. Death Steve Williams tonight, dammit Hunter, you got yourself a deal.

Marc Mero (c) (w/No MaaM) def. Scorpio via pinfall to retain the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship.



After the match Dustin, Al Snow and Jacqueline celebrate with Mero's win. They start handing out No MaaM t-shirts to some of the fans at ringside till a few "feminists" in the front row start a protest about No MaaM's actions. Dustin starts reading from a "book" and tells the feminists that they should keep their mouth shut.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is making his way out, but Triple H stops him. They're face to face and Austin says he wants to whoop Dr. Death's ass. Triple H says he wants the WWF title and warns Austin not to interfere. Austin turns around and shoves Chyna for the STUNNER on Hunter!

Triple H (w/Chyna) vs. Dr. Death Steve Williams (w/Stooges) for the No. 1 Contender spot for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam.



Dr. Death is out first as Stone Cold makes his way out. Austin starts firing fists left and right, though Williams takes him down and spears Austin. He won't stop punching him on the mat, till Triple H makes his way out angry. Triple H gets in the ring and wants to go for Austin, but instead kicks Dr. Death in the gut and pedigrees him! Triple H starts kicking down Austin, but Austin fires back as WWF Officials and security are out and stop Austin. Triple H looks pissed as the bell finally rings. Dr. Death is up now and hits the ropes for a diving shoulderblock. He starts to dominate the match till both men are on the outside. Triple H counters the irish whip and slams Dr. Death on the steel steps on PEDIGREE on the concrete! Triple H gets in on time for the 10 count.

Winner: Triple H via Countout and No. 1 Contender for the WWF Championship
