WWF 1993-98 - New Gen & Attitude Era - Survivor Series 98

Wrestlemania XIV



PART 3 of 3

The Main Event is up next and a video about the career of Bret "the Hitman" Hart, the WWF Champion and "leader of the New Generation" is shown from the day he first won the WWF title, to his win over Shawn Michaels and (second) heel turn. Thereafter a video of Stone Cold is shown of his career with winning the IC title to the KOTR. Another video shows Mr. McMahon and how he screwed Stone Cold and how it all led to the main event at Wrestlemania with Austin winning the Royal Rumble and beating Cactus Jack at No Way Out of Texas.



Mike Tyson is brought out first as the Special Enforcer wearing a Bret Hart hockey jersey. He's accompanied by Mr. McMahon, Brisco, Patterson, Sgt. Slaughter and a security team. The Stooges all sit near ringside.



Austin is shown in the back walking towards the entrance to a pop, glass shatters and Austin makes his way out to a MASSIVE POP. The crowd is excited for this one as the camera perfectly pans to Austin walking towards destiny.



Bret Hart is out next to a lot of heat in his regular wrestling gear. Bret teases giving his glasses to a kid, but instead gives it to Mike Tyson to much heat as JR says that Bret is the biggest suck up he's ever seen. Bret gets into the ring, kisses the WWF title, hands it over to the ref and goes face to face with Austin.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP: Bret "the Hitman" Hart (c) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin with SPECIAL ENFORCER Mike Tyson



Austin charges Bret with a double leg takedown and brawl on the mat. They start to punch each other out back and forth till they're outside the ring. Bret tosses Austin to the ring post headfirst and landing the suplex on the concrete. Bret goes for the SHARPSHOOTER on the outside! The ref starts to count but Mr. McMahon orders the ref not to count. Bret lets go and whips Austin towards the railings only for Austin to reverse it. Austin crotches Bret into the guardrail and hits a clothesline. They start to brawl into the crowd, climbing the steps til lthey go down and make it to the ring. They throw fists back and forth and not once has any one of them has had a breather. Austin whips Bret into the steel steps. Austin lands a clothesline to the apron and tosses Bret back in.



Bret gains the upperhand now, and lands a swinging neckbreaker and the elbow from the middle rope. He gets in the superplex from the top rope. Bret works on Austin's left knee and continues to work on it till Bret manages to get in the figure four around the ringpost! Austin is struggling as Vince looks like he's about to screw Austin, but Mike Tyson tells Vince not too because he wants to see where this goes. Vince sits back down nodding. Austin doesn't surrender and Bret breaks it. Bret decides to grab a chair and starts to smash Austin's knee! The ref is about to call DQ, but Vince once again demands that he'll fire the ref if he calls the DQ. Austin is hurt as Bret gets to the tope rope and jumps for a double-axe handle only for Austin to smash Bret's gut with the chair! Vince shouts at Tyson who quickly takes the chair out. After a bodyslam, Austin gets in the irish whip, only for Bret to counter and knock Austin to the outside. He slams Austin's head to the railings and starts to use the camera cables to choke out Austin!



The crowd is on their feet, everyone holding their breath. Bret lands several punches till an exhausted Austin crawls back into the ring. Bret shouts at Vince he's going to finish it off as Vince laughs. Bret gets in with another chair and starts to smash Austin's back three times! JR thinks this match should be over and the ref should call for the bell. Austin is hurt as Bret gets in the sharpshooter and it looks like its all over. However Austin just won't tap out. Austin struggles and even crawls towards the ropes, but Bret takes him back to the middle, this happens three times. Austin just won't give up till Bret gets frustrated and stops. Bret starts to work on Austin in a corner, irish whip, but Austin counters with Bret landing in the turnbuckle sternum first! Austin looks pissed and despite a bit of a limp he starts to land several kicks to Bret's chest and continues to stomp viciously! Bret rolls to the outside. Austin follows him till Bret smashes Austin with the ring bell, and falls on the referee who followed them to the outside!



Bret has a smirk and tosses Austin back in. Austin is barely moving as Bret goes for the the middle rope elbow dive. Bret goes for the sharpshooter again till Vince decides to call for the bell with another screwjob...HOWEVER Mike Tyson STOPS Vince. Vince tells him to move out of the way. Tyson says let him make the call. Vince angrily sits down saying "fine". Tyson gets in and asks Austin if he gives up. Austin shakes his head and Bret starts to tell Tyson off. Bret lets go and gets in Tyson's face. Tyson gets pissed and PUNCHES BRET!!! Bret is knocked out cold as Vince is going nuts!



Austin tries to get up as Bret barely moves. Tyson is now the ref and Vince is afraid of doing anything. Austin is up and Bret slowly sits up, Austin lands a kick and STUNNER! Austin locks it in for a SUPER FAST THREE COUNT!!!



Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin via pinfall to become the NEW WWF Champion



Vince goes absolutely nuts as the crowd EXPLODES with the biggest pop in history. Tyson holds up Austin's hands in the air and presents the WWF title to him. JR and Lawler are wondering what the heck is going on. Tyson takes off his jersey and throws it on top of Bret revealing an AUSTIN 3:16 shirt!! Austin flips off Vince who is having a nervous breakdown and leaves with Tyson to the back as Wrestlemania goes off air.

- Austin wins the WWF Championship...he beats Bret The Hitman Hart and now Bret can go to WCW now especially now that in his Shoot Interview it was pretty much him leaving the WWF...hence him putting over Austin and now Stone Cold can truly take over as the face of the company

- I wonder what Vince will have to say about Mania about how Tyson screwed him or what he will have to say about Bret

RAW is WAR
March 30th, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler

Vince McMahon is in the ring with the new WWF Championship belt with the Attitude Era logo.



Vince: Tonight was supposed to be a night of glory, a night where the future of my company, where the new Attitude Era was to begin...the right way. This very WWF title belt that is bigger and better than ever, was meant to be in the hands of the model WWF Superstar, the greatest WWF Champion in history. But I guess after last night, that model WWF Champion is no longer with the WWF. It breaks my heart...it really does to say this...but I guess sometimes you got to take it in, take a deep breath dammit and accept reality. So...what the heck it's a new era, a new day, a new Championship belt so ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to bring out your NEW WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin (massive pop)

Austin makes his way out with the old Winged-Eagle title belt and gets in the ring and THROWS the old belt unto Vince's feet! Vince pouts in pain and the old belt is now gone. Austin grabs the new title belt and starts to pose with it.



Vince: Alright Mr. Austin let's get down to business. I know we haven't seen eye to eye, but it's a new era here in the World Wrestling Federation and dammit I want to start it off the right way. And Austin, as much as...(gulps)...as much as it hurts me saying this, congratulations on winning the WWF Championship last night at Wrestlemania XIV.

Austin: First of all we still don't see eye to eye. You tried to screw me over on numerous ocassions last night. I'll never forget the screwjob, I'll never forget how you wanted to ensure that this day would never come, well I got news for you Stone Cold is the new face of the World Wrestling Federation and I'll tell ya, this title belt is going nowhere except on my shoulders.

Vince: (gulps) Well Mr. Austin...I still think we should start over. A fresh start, for you and me. Austin think about it, together with your physical presence, and my mind and fortitude dammit we could take over the world of Sports Entertainment and no one can take us on Austin. We will have no rival, and heck you have the potential to become the greatest WWF Champion there has ever lived, but only...and under one condition, you agree to work with me...you know work with the system.

Austin: You want me to work with a jackass like you?

Vince: Look, I'm being nice. You have no idea how hard this is for me. You don't, so you can either take the easy way, or the hard way, it's your choice.

Austin: And what's the hard way?

Vince: Well the easy way is we work together, and the hard way well Austin we'll be back to square one and you don't want to go there especially since you're the WWF Champion now.

Austin: Let me just think about it....(looks away and STUNNER on McMahon!)



Austin poses for the fans as Vince is laying on his back, staring at the ceiling in horror.

____________________________________________________________________

Jim Ross announces that the referee's decision for the WWF Tag Team title match at Wrestlemania has been revoked due to the fact that it was the "wrong dumpster" and that the New Age Outlaws are STILL the WWF Tag Team Champions. Tonight they'll be in a Steel Cage match, giving Jack and Charlie another opportunity at the titles.

Marc Mero def. Taka Michinoku (c) via pinfall in a non-title match. Mero calls out the real Sable and she makes it to the ring. Mero trashes Sable saying that what she's done to her body is plain wrong and that she should cover herself. Sable says Mero can't say anything to her and a woman has the right to do whatever she wants. Mero gets angry and SHOVES Sable down! He starts to talk down on her, threatening to beat her up!


Sable is almost in tears as Mero kicks her outside saying that Goldust is a better "Sable" than she is. Sable is hurt and leaves with some WWF Officials as Mero talks trash about women these days not having class and feminism itself.

Kurgan (w/Jackyl) def. Chainz via pinfall

Ken Shamrock & Steve Blackman def. Do-Lo Brown and Kama Mustafa (w/The Rock) via pinfall.

____________________________________________________________________

Triple H makes his way out with Chyna.



HHH: I know what you're all thinking. Why Triple H why! Why would I pedigree the man, the showstopper, the main event, well Shawn Michaels didn't main event anything at Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels didn't stop anything last night because let's face it I was the showstopper last night. Shawn thinks he's the leader fo the Kliq, well Shawn you're mistaken, the Kliq isn't even together and you're stuck in the past. And as far as Shawn being the man? Ever heard of in with the new Heartbreak Kid? You all heard Vince McMahon announcing the Attitude Era. It's a new Era, and the world knows that we don't need the New Generation anymore. And Shawn, you are history. You belong to a time of saying your prayers, eating your vitamins, and excellence of executions and all that nonsense. I am the future, I've embraced WWF Attitude...and as defacto leader of the D-Generation X, with Chyna and the New Age Outlaws by my side, I would like to bring out a young man who I admire to become the newest member of DX, X-Pac!

X-Pac makes his way out and talks about returning to the WWF and that if anyone doesn't like it they can "Suck it".

Vince McMahon makes his way out to much heat with his Stooges and for the first time in an official capacity, Shane McMahon is by his side.



Vince: You know last week on RAW, the new WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin chose the hard way. He made that choice when he stunned me, assaulted me the owner of the WWF! Austin, you got a lot of nerve. You got a lot of nerve to humiliate me in front of my family, in front of my son Shane, in front of the whole world the way you did and I'm sick of it. I'm so sick of it that I....(Glass Shatters)

Austin makes his way out with a SUIT AND TIE and WWF title belt. Vince looks puzzled and starts talking to his stooges. Austin was about to pose for the fans, but decides not too. The crowd doesn't look happy.



Vince: Mr. Austin, I'm a little surprised...you look different tonight.

Austin: Isn't this how I should look?

Vince: (smiles) Wait are you saying what I think your saying?

Austin: Like I said last week I had to think about it...

Vince: Well I thought...well you...well quite frankly Austin I'm out of words I mean look at that suit that didn't come cheap.

Austin: You wanted a partnership...you got it.

Vince: (talks to his goons with a smirk and turns to Austin) Alright Stone Cold you've decided that you wanted to make it work, but how can I trust you I mean when I gave you the choice last week you gave me a stunner!

Austin: It was a natural reaction, I have this thing in my arm that was annoying me that night...do you want me to apologize, is that what you want?

Vince: (gets excited) Yes I would love that, that's all I've ever wanted!

Austin: Then you'll get an apology.

The stooges are all happy with Vince as they talk.

Vince: Alright I'm waiting.

Austin: (starts taking off his tie and suit) I apologize for wearing this stupid suit that I stole from one of your jackass of a closet I'm surprised the damn thing fit (Vince is shocked) because this is the last time Stone Cold Steve Austin will ever wear this piece of trash!

Austin punches out Vince's "grapefruits"! Vince cries and falls as his stooges try to help him out.

Austin: And that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!

Paul: What is the reason of this! Stop it Kane, you wanted the Undertaker you had your chance at Wrestlemania.

Kane grabs Bearer and throws him to the outside! Vince McMahon runs out and shouts on the mic he has.

Vince: Stop it, stop it this instant!

Kane looks at Vince who is in the ring now.

Vince: Look Kane, look at me. When you want to get things done, you go through me. You demanded the Undertaker dammit I can deliver him to you, however and wherever you want (Kane nods) good you understand. Kane think about your life, think about what he did to your mother, think about how he burned you, I need that rage damn it. I can make things happen for you, I can make you the next WWF Champion dammit, I can fulfill your destiny to bury the Undertaker the way out want! (Kane nods) Good good...then I want you to face Stone Cold Steve Austin this Sunday...(Kane shakes his head) Dammit, look at me, you feel like burning yourself to send a message to your brother, for all the pain you've had dammit, why do you want him to get away with it? Why give him a good life. The Undertaker is a former two time WWF Champion, think about it Kane. You could surpass him heck if you feel like you need a bit of fire then not only will you face Steve Austin for the WWF title, you'll do it in the first ever...Inferno Match! That's right the first man who is set on fire loses the match. If you win Kane, I'll make your wildest dreams come true. Join me (Kane nods) Good! (Vince laughs)

The Rock (c) def. Too Cold Scorpio via pinfall to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship. After the match the Rock gets on the mic.



The Rock: After beating up the jabroni Faarooq who I know for a fact that Kama Mustafa will defeat later tonight, I've felt like it's time for me to climb the ladder all the way to the top. Earlier tonight we almost saw a man burn himself to death because his jabroni brother the Undertaker couldn't show up. The Undertaker went through hell to defeat Kane, and I know he's been weakened. No one could withstand that much punishment so I know for a fact this is my opportunity, the opportunity for the Rock to open up a challenge to the Undertaker because can you smell what the Rock is cooking?

LOD 2000 (w/Sunny) def. The Headbangers via pinfall. During the match, The New Age Outlaws steel LOD's helmet gear and piss on it in the back laughing. After a commercial break a fight breaks out in the back between LOD and DX.

Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way out.



Austin: So Vince McMahon chickened out last week and I still came out on top with one hand tied behind my back. Now he's allied himself with the big red machine, well I got news for you I ain't afraid of no inferno match. You'd think a guy whose been burnt before would be afraid of the fire, but I ain't because at Unforgiven, I'll be more ready for Kane. I know what you're all thinking, how can Stone Cold defeat a guy who took three tombstone piledrivers to take down, well it's become Stone Cold says so!

Steve Blackman def. Road Dogg (w/DX) via submission till Triple H gets in the pedigree to close off RAW.

After the match Owen Hart was in the back making his way out of the parking lot for his tag match later in the night till he was viciously attacked by the Nation! Ken Shamrock runs out and starts attacking the Nation on his own. Shamrock joins the Tag match.

Mankind def. Chainsaw Charlie via Decision. The match began with Mankind getting in the ring with a Cactus Jack t-shirt. JR wonders if he has completely transformed, or if a bit of Cactus Jack is still "in there". Despite being a singles match, the match became a hardcore match as both men knock down the referee for a whole ten minutes. Chairs and tables are used. Finally Charlie gets out his chainsaw to go after Mankind, but Mankind gets in the mandible claw as Charlie passes out. Mankind grabs a trash can from the outside and tosses it in the ring.

Slaughter (who came out around this time) and a security guard at the same time. There was a pop for that bump.

Vince: Last night at Unforgiven, I've never felt more dizzy, more nauseous in my life.

I just did what was necessary for the ship to survive. It was needed. The Undertaker I realize is no flash in the pan, but the Rock is ready to beat his candy ass if I have too...(the arena goes dark, the Rock gets frightened, but no Taker) O no! What do I do o no the Undertaker o no Blaaahhhhh screw the Undertaker ha, he ain't coming in tonight because the Rock has made sure that he wouldn't show up to this stupid town called Hampton, look at all you fat asses out here they should've called it ham-town...and how did I stop the Undertaker you ask? I stole his plane ticket last night and I didn't have to because he's afraid of the Rock!

The lights go dim again and the Rock looks around.

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) vs. 8-Ball vs. Skull in a Triple Threat for the WWF Championship



Gerald Brisco makes his way out in a referee outfit as he gets in the ring. The DoA come out first along with Chainz who will be on the outside. Austin makes his way out next to a big pop. As Austin is posing for the fans in the corner, Vince McMahon makes his way out and replaces the timekeeper! Austin looks pissed and the match begins.

The match continues till the DOA get Austin to the outside and with Chainz they start to beat down on Austin. Austin is back in the ring as 8-Ball goes for the pin with a SUPERFAST COUNT to two! JR says this is completely unfair. Austin gets the upperhand and STUNNER on Skull! One...two...Brisco says theres something in his eye. Austin is up and gets close enough to Brisco. Brisco shouts he'll be fired. 8-Ball attacks Austin, but Austin gets in the STUNNER and goes for the pin...One...Two...Brisco's hand hurts from the second count and he runs to the outside to get it checked by Vince. Austin gets pissed that he goes to the outside and grabs a chair and smashes Chainz with it. He comes back in the ring as "paramedics" arrive to check up on Brisco's hand. Austin smashes both DoA members with the chair and throws it away. Austin sits in the corner waiting on Brisco. Vince calls out Patt Patterson as "backup referee". Patterson takes his "time" to get to the ring. Patterson is in the ring as Austin decides wth STUNNER on Patterson!

Vince looks pissed and rings the bell.

Winner: 8-Ball and Skull via DQ.

Vince: (gets on the mic) Austin I told you if you lay one hand...

Austin: (gets a mic) You listen to me here you sob there is nothing wrong with that sob's hand because you said if I lay one hand on Brisco I'd be fired, you didn't say anything about anyone else, so that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!

8-Ball and Skull are back up as Austin stuns them both! RAW goes off air with Vince getting pissed off.

Paul: My son Kane has been obsessed ever since Wrestlemania in destroying the Undertaker. I want my son back, I want him to stop his obsession! But Vince McMahon has somehow taken control of my Kane! Vince McMahon has his ear, and this has to stop!

Vince makes his way out to a strut.



Vince: What you need to understand Paul Bearer, is that I'm the boss. I'm giving Kane a future you could never give. I promise Kane that he'll get his revenge on the Undertaker and he will. But first he must accomplish the task at hand, he must destroy Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Kane makes his way out with his bandaged arm.



Paul: Kane, listen to reason, I'm your father! I delivered the Undertaker to you twice! The first time you defeated him in this very ring, the second he could barely finish you off! McMahon allowed you to be burned! Look at that arm! That was not my doing, that was Mr. McMahon's doing!

Vince: Don't listen to him because I have the best doctors that are treating that arm in fact I can give you more than an arm Kane. I can give you something you could never imagine! (Kane looks back and forth at Paul and Vince)

Paul: I'm your father Kane! Come back to me!

Vince: I can restore that burnt face of yours behind that mask! I have the money dammit!

Paul: You know that's not possible!

Vince: It is! There is a doctor I know who can do it. Dammit I will deliver the Undertaker and you will have your vengeance!

Paul: Please Kane!

Kane looks back and forth till he gets closer to Vince! Vince gulps and backs away to a corner. Till suddenly Kane turns around and chokes Paul Bearer! He lands a choke slam on his own father!



Vince: (laughs) Yes Kane dammit I need that rage! Destroy him (JR is sickened by this), he's made false promises to you dammit destroy him!

Kane lifts Paul Bearer and lands the Tombstone Piledriver!

Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out of the parking lot and looks angry. Kevin Kelly tries to interview him. Austin gives a cold stare and Kelly backs away.

Steve Blackman (c) def. Justin Bradshaw via pinfall to retain the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. The Kai En Tai make their RAW stable debut (Togo, Teioh and Funkai) and run in after the match with Taka Michinoku leading them. They attack both men, but target Blackman as revenge for Taka losing the title with Taka turning heel here.

A promo of Ken Shamrock training Sable in the gym is shown.

Faarooq def. Jeff Jarrett (w/Lee) via pinfall after X-Pac and Chyna run in and knock down Jeff for Faarooq to get the pin. After the match, Kama, Henry and D-Lo get in the ring. They start to apologize to Faarooq for choosing the Rock over Faarooq. They start to BEG for forgiveness and want Faarooq back. They said the Undertaker attacking them was the last straw especially since the Rock abandoned them at Unforgiven. D-Lo hands over Faarooq's original Beret. Faarooq wears it as they all salute towards Faarooq.

Kevin Kelly is in the back with Mr. McMahon who is on his way to his office. Kelly asks about Kane and Vince says no comment. Kelly asks what he has planned for Austin tonight and he says that Austin will be taking on Goldust tonight and he's bringing in the best there is, the best there was as Special Guest Referee (the crowd wonder what the heck as Bret is in WCW) to make sure things go "smoothly".

Chainsaw Charlie & Scorpio def. The Headbangers via pinfall

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) vs. Goldust for the WWF Championship with a Special Guest Referee.

Vince McMahon comes out and talks trash about Austin. He says he's bringing out the "best there is and the best there was" out here right now to be a Special Guest Referee. And he is none other than...Pat Patterson! Patterson makes his way in the ring and shakes Vince's hand as he goes to the outside. Goldust and Austin are in the ring and they go at it. Austin beats the living daylights out of Goldust till they are on the outside. Austin smashes Goldust into the steelsteps and railings till Patterson stops Austin. Austin flips him off. The match ends as Vince McMahon grabs a ringbell and tries to knock down Austin till he accidentally knocks down Goldust!

Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin via Countout to retain the WWF Championship



Vince gets on the mic and shouts for Kane. Kane makes his way out and Austin is ready for him. They start to land several punches back and forth till Austin gets in the Stunner! Austin grabs the WWF title belt and poses in a corner till Kane sits up and stands up. Austin smashes the WWF title over Kane's head as RAW goes off air!

RAW is WAR
May 25th, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Michael Cole



RAW opens with Vince McMahon leaving prison on bail and will be here for RAW tonight. Meanwhile Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson have been running the WWF.  Before the first match, Faarooq offers Two Cold Scorpio to join his cause and he rejects it.

Terry Funk & Two Cold Scorpio def. The Rock n'Roll Express via DQ. The Nation of Domination run out during the match and attack Funk and Scorpio as they lay on the floor!



Faarooq: No one can reject us. No Rock, we made you and we don't need you. Look at you Scorpio, you need a devil (ie. Funk) to give you a push in the WWF. Even then you'll never be successful brother. Now that I have returned as the elected leader, this is a New Nation. We are the New Nation. There won't be anymore mistakes. You can call this the second coming. We will re-surge and triumph by ANY MEANS NECESSARY! (they salute)

Earthquake (WWF Return) def. Thrasher (w/Mosh) via pinfall. Earthquake (instead of the Golga gimmick) makes his return, although he's lost a lot of weight he still lands his finisher for the win.

Vader def. Jeff Jarrett (w/Lee) via Countout. Vader makes his return since Wrestlemania XIV.

Brisco and Patterson are out on the parking lot and Vince is out with a lawyer with him. Vince looks upset as they get in the ring after a commercial break.



Vince: Last week, I must admit things got carried away. Stone Cold Steve Austin will continue to be in the WWF and as a merciful man, because I am, he will have his match at Over the Edge in the first ever First Blood match. But Austin, if you think that I've been humbled away by the police, or that I won't get my revenge, dammit you will pay for everything you've done to me. Kane is off tonight, but Austin, tonight you'll be facing his brother...the Undertaker!

Taka Michinoku (w/Kai En Tai) def. Aguila via pinfall

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) vs. The Undertaker for the WWF Championship



JR says we could hace a new champion and the Undertaker could face the Rock, title for title at Over the Edge. Taker is out first followed by Austin. The match starts and they brawl in the ring till they go brawl up the ramp. Suddenly out comes the Rock who lands the Rock Bottom on Austin! Taker sees the Rock and he starts to fight him off! He throws the Rock into the ring and starts landing several punches and elbows on the Rock who rolls out of the ring till Austin gets in the ring for the STUNNER! The Rock drags Austin out. Austin fights the Rock as they go back and forth on the outside till the Undertaker hits the ropes for a SUICIDE DIVE on both of them! The Rock crawls as Taker goes after him. Austin rolls in the ring for the win.

Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin via Countout

Austin celebrates as the Rock tries to run off and Taker goes after him backstage as RAW goes off air.
