Hosts: Vince McMahon and Jim Cornette

Vince: It's my sad announcement that Randy Savage will not be at the commentary desk this evening, and well it will be so indefinitely. We have yet to hear from the Macho Man as to whether or not he has actually left the WWF for good.

Cornette: I bet he has quit the WWF, I bet he has realized after being beaten by the likes of Jeff Jarrett that he's all burnt out.

Randy Savage has been so humiliated, I mean this two time World Champion, this two time Intercontinental Champion, one of the all time greats, just couldn't handle a loss...(Vince shouts he was a countout by the way)...and because I beat Savage, I deserve a title shot that's right I'm looking at you Razor Ramon, put up the Intercontinental title, and (laughs) I bet I can keep that strap longer than that has been Macho Man (laughs)

Gorilla says that Vince was hurt after that vicious attack last and that he has taken his spot for RAW for tonight.

King's Court has Jerry Lawler says he's liking the new side of the Macho Man and makes fun of Rowdy Roddy Piper. He still mentions Piper's Bottom Line show on All American Wrestling which recently debuted, and calls him out as his special guest.



Lawler: Now...put aside your hatred for me because I know you hate my guts, but everyone wants to know what is it that you have to say.



Piper: Ya know for years I've seen this guy going around the country doing great things man ya I've seen him going to the charities ha I've seen him helping them small kids ya know after all he's a role model ha but last week as I was watching Monday Night RAW at home I saw a man that wasn't the same, I saw a changed man ya know, a man who like myself excelled here in the WWF, but a man who is going down a dark path to hell and I've seen it in his eyes before I tell ya he's been down this dark path and I want to say Macho Man, you need to cool it bud...

Lawler: You know I would've agreed with you but I kinda liked seeing Vince McMahon on the mat (laughs)

Piper: O you would would ya now? Here is the thing Macho Man, I'm here to help you out man. I'm here to help you through whatever this is, you're lucky you ain't suspended because ha I feel like you're in a midlife crisis already man and you're so young you are, young in mind, heart, and soul man and I'm here to ask you if you're willing to take my help. I'm here.

Lawler: What is this Oprah or something ha, maybe the Macho Man is in a midlife crisis I mean think about it Piper. He went through a divorce and the WWF threw him in broadcasting like he's a senior citizen (laughs)

Piper: All I've gotta say is Macho, if you don't want to come out here right now and talk, let me in and ha I'll help ya out ya know I will.

May 30th, 1994
Hosts: Vince McMahon and Jim Cornette

A new clip from Roddy Piper's Bottom Line show from All-American Wrestling is shown and Piper is backstage at an arena. Vince is outraged about it and says watch carefully.



Piper (with Randy Savage): Don't worry Randy, he'll be here as he promised and I can't wait for the answer he has for you it's going to be great ha great thing are going to happen for you ha I can feel it...

Jack Tunney enters the room.

Randy: So Mr. Tunney ya do you have an answer for me? Will I face Bret "the Hitman" Hart at the King of the Ring for the title ya because I can feel it ya I can feel a threepeet! 

Tunney: I'm sorry Mr. Savage, but after careful consideration, Diesel is the number one contender.

Randy: (looks at Piper) Is this what you meant by surprise huh?

Piper: Ah gosh Mr. Tunney...

Tunney: We thank you for your service after all these years Mr. Savage, and I wanted to say that after discussions with WWF officials we wish you would consider your old position on the commentary desk and I do believe this is the best fit for our relationship between you and the WWF going forward...

Randy suddenly assaults Tunney! Piper tries to hold him back. Randy shoves Piper, Piper fights back!



Vince: I can't believe what we have seen Randy Savage has assaulted the President of the WWF in such an inhumane way, thankfully Piper was there to save him in time before Savage had done more damage.

Cornette: Savage has become a deranged man, but face it Vince he's got a lot more to offer than becoming a commentator or announcer.

Vince: We'll see if he even has a future after that and to be honest I don't want him working beside me after that.

Randy "Macho Man" Savage vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper in a CAREER ENDING MATCH



Savage is out to much heat. Bagpipes are played and Piper is out and dedicates the match to the Piper Impersonator who was attacked by Savage on RAW. Piper in a pre-match promo said he was going to give all the money he was making from this match to charity. Gorilla talks about how Savage has been in a similar match before at Wrestlemania 7.



Randy is on the offensive, Piper strikes back with several punches and knocks down the Macho Man. Piper goes for an early sleeper, but Randy manages to counter and stunners Piper on the ropes as Randy lands on the outside. Randy goes to the top rope for a double axe handle, but Piper punches his gut. Piper works a few holds, Randy reverses a headlock and locks it in. Piper gets frustrated and backs Randy to a corner and starts punching him. Piper grabs Randy's hair and does a ten count headbutt on the turnbuckle. Randy falls and Piper signals for the sleeper. Randy is up and as Piper goes for it, Randy counters with a german suplex. Randy rolls Piper to the outside and goes to the tope rope. Piper is up and Randy lands the double axe handle. Randy slams Piper's head to the apron.



Piper fights back and whips Randy unto the railings. Piper breaks the count, but Randy smashes his head to the steel steps. Randy lifts the steps looking to smash Piper till the referee stops Randy. Randy shoves him aside as the ref falls down hard and Piper with brass knuckles that were underneath his tights knocks out Randy cold. Randy is out as Piper is in the ring. Piper goes back out and lifts the referee to bring him back to the ring. Ref starts to count, Piper shakes his head and doesn't think it should end this way. He goes out and grabs Randy, but Randy finds the brass knuckles that Piper used and knocks down Piper without the ref noticing. Randy tosses him back in.

Randy lands a bodyslam and goes to the top rope for the elbow drop finisher. Piper gets out of the way and both men are being counted out. Piper makes it back on his feet all cut open. Randy is up, Piper lands a few fists, he rakes the eyes, scratches his back and locks in the sleeper! Randy is almost out of it but manages to get a rope break. Piper breaks free as Randy spears Piper down and starts beating on him bloody. Randy starts to work on the neck with the ropes with blood furiously dropping down. Piper finally fights back and swings left and right, however he is losing consciousness. Randy moves away as Piper tries to land fists and misses till Piper is on his knees.



Piper tries to give it one more chance as he gets on his legs, but Randy hits the ropes for a big high knee kick and the elbow drop finisher for the pin to three.

Winner: Randy Savage via pinfall. Roddy Piper's Career is over.

Savage grabs a fans Hod Rod shirt and gets on the mic as Piper is being taken to the back by WWF Officials.



Savage: Look at you Piper, your days in the WWF are over once and for all ya, I told you I'd beat you and I ended your career ya (tears apart the Hot Rod shirt) let this New Generation be known as the era of the Macho Man ya let the old be gone ya this is my time and I'm coming for you Bret Hart ooo ya!

Monday Night RAW
July 18th, 1994
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jim Cornette

Jack Tunney makes an announcement:



"As we enter a new era in sports entertainment with the New Generation, the World Wrestling Federation recognizes what the fans want, out with the old, in with the new. As we promote younger and brighter WWF superstars to new heights and opportunities, at the King of the Ring we had seen one of these younger superstars, Owen Hart, become the new King and deservedly so. However last week on Monday Night RAW, Owen Hart was forced to surrender his crown and a shot at the WWF Championship.

After WWF officials gone through a thorough investigation, we have discovered that it was in fact Randy Macho Man Savage who ensured that Owen Hart would not be able to participate in the match. As a referee's decision is final, I have accepted that the Macho Man is the new King of the WWF. However, due to his actions and his past actions that are quite evident, I have therefore stripped the Macho Man of the contendership and have automatically given Owen Hart a title shot at SummerSlam to face Bret "the Hitman" Hart the current WWF Champion. Thank you."
