RAW opens with "Highway to Hell" playing and a hearse making it to the arena. The Undertaker breaks out a giant casket for Mabel (it's engraved) and "burns it".

Mabel starts to crawl and starts to leave as Taker brings the whole arena lights down and in a loud voice plays throughout the arena "You're soul is mine"... Mabel looks back and runs off.

After a commercial break, the Rock laughs as he talks trash about screwing with Taker by using Mabel. Suddenly Mankind jumps the Rock! He gets in the mandible claw as the Rock struggles with WWF Officials stopping them.



Ken Shamrock def. Steve Blackman & Dan Severn in a Triple Threat Match after Blackman gets on an armbar on Dan, and Shamrock has the ankle lock at the same time, but since Shamrock started it first, Shamrock gets the win. In a post-match promo, Shamrock says he'll be ready for Kane at SummerSlam as he believes he knows how to take him down.

"Mr. Countout" D-Lo Brown (c) def. Scott Taylor via Countout to retain the WWF European Champion. JR says it's a joke that D-Lo could be proud of countouts. Lawler says that its the best way to retain any title.

Sable agrees and says that they're opening up a challenge to No MaaM for a match at SummerSlam. They confront Mero who just lost his match and demand a match. Mero laughs at the idea and agrees that they can bring whoever they want because No MaaM will prove once again that women can't do squat especially when their together.



Vince McMahon is out with his Stooges to recieve the "Humanitarian of the Year" award. He gets a lot of heat till Austin makes his way out to a massive pop. Vince is pissed and demands that Austin better not do anything. Austin says he is the face of the WWF and should be here. Vince is surprised by hearing this and allows him to stay. Vince gets the award and Austin thereafter STEALS Vince's wallet and throws away some of his platinum credit cards.

Austin: Look at all this money, why do you carry $1200 in your pocket you know someone can steal it off ya, well I think this is a great cause and giving this award to this piece of trash is worth $1200 so here take it (gives it away)

Vince: That's my money dammit...I mean...I'm happy to donate this...dammit!

Austin steals the framed (glass-encased) award. Vince gets furious demanding it back till Austin "accidentally" drops it and it breaks.

Austin: Ooo I'm so sorry for that Vince, I mean it was a nice award...

Austin kicks Vince in the gut and knocks down the stooges! Dr. Death runs out to attack Austin, Austin grabs what's left of the award and smashes it over Dr. Death! Triple H is in the back watching and he says "let these two waste each other" to Chyna. Austin lands a Stone Cold Stunner on Dr. Death as RAW goes off air!

Sunday Night Heat
August 23rd, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Shane McMahon

Heat starts off with a statement from Sgt. Slaughter that due to the "choppy choppy" incident, Kai En Tai (with the exception of Taka) will be barred from ringside and suspended until further notice. However Yamaguchi will be fined, but continue on as a manager.

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) def. The New Age Outlaws (c) via DQ in a Non-title Handicap match.



The match was set up by Austin himself who wanted to take on the Outlaws. Despite the Outlaws gaining the upperhand during the match, Austin manages to stun both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn only for Chyna and X-Pac to appear to attack Austin for the DQ as Heat goes off air.

There were two RAW episodes in 98 that used the cell including this one so it's not unbelievable. 

I don't have any plans for another HIAC match, anyway I wanted Kane to get clean win over Austin as I have plans for Kane in the future.

That of course is fair and Kane ever since he came on to the scene he has been a monster I mean in your diary already has been WWF Champion and now is WWF Intercontinental Champion

SummerSlam 98



PART 2 of 2

"Lord of Darkness" The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) vs. Mabel in Singles competition



Taker enters the ring with his new theme music ("Dark Side"). The match has Taker knocking Mabel down quickly in the first minute. Mabel reverses an irish whip and bumps into Taker who falls. Mabel works on Taker's back, but Taker manages to choke Mabel into a corner and go for the old school smash. Mabel counters a chokehold and lands a big belly-to-belly suplex. He goes for a botched camel-clutch, but Taker manages the rope break. Taker dodges a clothesline spot and hits the ropes for a huge flying clothesline for Mabel to fall hard. Taker irish whips Mabel into a corner and goes for the clothesline, but Mabel hits an elbow and rams Takers head to the turnbuckle. Mabel bodyslams Taker and goes for the big legdrop only to miss. Taker is up and goes for the chokeslam for the pin and win.

Winner: The Undertaker via pinfall

After the match as Mabel lays motionless, Taker places his right hand over Mabel's face as the lights in the arena flicker and turn dark. The lights come back on as Mabel "sits up" like the Undertaker and you could see his eyes turn pale (ie. contacts) like he was now a "zombie" like deadman. The Undertaker shouts "rise" as Mabel is up. Mabel holds the ropes for Taker to leave. Mabel follows Taker with him and Paul Bearer.

Kane (c) def. Ken Shamrock via pinfall to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship.



Shamrock was ruthless early on, trying everything to bring down Kane and wear him out. Each time he knocks him down, Kane sits up and counters his moves. Near the end, Shamrock gets in a big spear from the top rope and goes for the ankle lock. Kane can't speak without his voice box, but shakes his head to signal he doesn't give up. Kane drags himself for the rope break. Shamrock tries to get him back in the middle, but only to be choked by Kane for the chokeslam. Kane goes for the tombstone for the pin and win.

The Rock vs Mankind for the Inaugral WWF Hardcore Championship



The WWF Hardcore Championship belt is presented by the referee. Mankind makes his way out followed by the Rock and the match begins. The match goes back and forth till they reach the outside. The Rock uses cables to choke out Mankind, Mankind uses a chair and smashes it over the Rock. Moments later they end up in the aisle as Mankind rams the Rock into the railings. The Rock strikes back with punches and they end up backstage. They continue to fight where other WWF Superstars can be seen. The Rock clotheslines Mankind on top of a crate. The fight enters somewhere in the arena where there is a "banquet" of food and it becomes a food fight.



The Rock smashes a cake over Mankind's head and they end up going further backstage to the parking lot. Mankind smashes the Rock into a car. Mankind even gets into a car to find its keys and starts the car up. He drives it in reverse and tries to run over the Rock, but the Rock gets out of the way only for Mankind to crash the car into another car. Mankind is whiplashed as the Rock tries to go for the Rock Bottom, but Mankind whacks the Rock in the GLASS window (aka salt) of the car for the Rock to be completely out of it and cut open. Mankind pins the Rock on the concrete to win.



Winner: Mankind via pinfall to become the FIRST WWF Hardcore Champion

RAW is WAR
Saturday Edition
September 5th, 1998
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler

This was a taped show from Monday and was aired Saturday due to the Tennis Tournament.



RAW opens with Sgt. Slaughter who argues with Vince McMahon that he doesn't want to "do this". Vince says he knows how he hates the DX, but he has too. Slaughter refuses and Vince fires him as WWF Commissioner on the spot.

Vince walks out with Brisco and Patterson to the ring with the WWF title encased and red carpeting for the ring.



Vince: About a month ago, I defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin in this very ring and I couldn't have been more happier. And at SummerSlam, Stone Cold Steve Austin lost the WWF Championship and I was thrilled beyond belief. No one could've ever dreamed that Triple H could be the one to do the job heck some of us had our doubts, but dammit he walked out the new WWF Champion and defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin for the one two three! So what we are doing right now is presenting Triple H with the WWF Championship belt as an official ceremony. Say goodbye to the Stone Cold Era and let's welcome your WWF Champion, Triple H!

Triple H (using the new "My Time" theme) and the whole DX walk out. He's in the ring and Vince hands over the WWF title belt to him and Hunter gets on the mic as Vince and the stooges step back.



Triple H: You know as I hold unto Stone Cold Steve Austin's most precious thing in the world, as it hangs over my shoulder, let me tell you a story. Everyone knows that in the WWF I was part of the Kliq. I was seen as the guy who they just wanted around. Then the Kliq broke up because two guys decided to split. Then the infamous curtain call happens and guess who gets punished? Not these two guys and not even the boy toy, but I did. I was punished for that. Fast forward about a year ago, Shawn Michaels formed the D-Generation X and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to join him. You know why? Because the Kliq was a thing of the past, the Kliq was bullshit. They never saw potential in me and nor did Shawn Michaels. Michaels saw me as a guy he could just drag around and use whenever he wanted so at Wrestlemania I did the right thing. I found the perfect moment to stop the showstopper and I did just that and took over the DX. At the King of the Ring, I overcame the odds and won it all. I've been an Intercontinental and European Champion. I've done much here in the WWF and last night, I did what they all thought was impossible, I became the WWF Champion defeating the face of the World Wrestling Federation, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Vince and his Stooges are nodding in excitement.

Triple H: So Stone Cold is probably sitting home at Texas wondering what went wrong. Just how could he lose the WWF Championship. I guess I'll need to explain it to your pea-sized brain of yours ha. There is a reason why I'm the Game. I knew Mr. McMahon would do anything to stop you. So I came up with the idea of a Hell in a Cell match to wear you down Austin so that Kane could beat you bloody and he did just that. And what did you have to do after? Face Dr. Death last night and how did that go for you? Sure you won, but I didn't care. All I cared about was getting you into the ring and beating you at whatever the cost, even if I had to go to hell to beat you I would've done it and I did right....(GLASS SHATTERS)



Austin: (is in the ring and flips off the Stooges as the DX surround Triple H) I don't give a damn rats ass about your history son, the bottom line is your jackasses jumped me countless times last night, because you know you couldn't beat my ass if you were at your best.

Vince: Now now this is enough...

Austin: Shut up! (crowd cheers) I want a rematch I'm asking for it right now you sob give me my title shot right here tonight.

Vince: (gets angry) There is no way in hell I'm going to give you a shot at the title...

Austin: I think you forgot about a thing called a rematch clause and I know you don't want to go to court and all that litigation crap so give me my damn rematch...

Vince: It's up to Triple H dammit...

Triple H: Austin, what makes you think you could beat me.

Austin: You know well that I can...

Triple H: Fine, but it won't be tonight.

Vince: That's right dammit, the rematch will happen on September 27th, at Breakdown: In Your House.



Austin flips off Vince and STUNS Triple H infront of DX! DX try to jump Austin as Austin runs off laughing.
