Raw looks awesome, especially since Warrior is facing Diesel, it wouldn't be a good match in reality but it'd be decent to say the least. I hate how HBK and Hart are fighting each other on In Your House. I would of built that feud up more, maybe given Hart a shot at Hall just to be screwed by HBK leading into a match at Survivor Series but it'll be grand

October 6, 1996 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossReady For SundayRaw opens up with Bret “Hitman” Hart making his way down to the ring.Hart: Back after WrestleMania, when I decided to take a break away from the ring, there were a lot of things that motivated me to come back. But the one thing that motivated me most was the fact that I believe that I am still the best at what I do. That I am still the best wrestler in the WWF. And knowing that in my heart, I knew that I had to come back with one goal in mind, and that was to once again be the WWF Champion. So now, here I stand, almost seven months later, with an opportunity to take the first step towards that goal. Next Sunday will be a stepping stone to becoming the WWF Champion again, and once I take that first step, I will continue on until I have proven that I am still the best. I will win next Sunday at In Your House, I will become the next WWF Champion, and I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! The music of Shawn Michaels then hits the arena and the Heartbreak Kid makes his way down to the ring and stands across from the Hitman.HBK: Excuse me if I’m interrupting, but I have to admit that with all this talk about being the best, I felt like I should put myself into the conversation. With all due respect, Hitman, you’re looking at the best there is. Now you know how much I respect you, and I think deep down inside you respect me, and you and I both know that when it comes to competitors like us it’s only natural to feel like you’re the best. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t have had the success that we have both had so far in our careers. And just like you, Bret, the yearning to be the best, and the yearning to be the WWF Champion, is what drives me. Me and you were the last two WWF Champions. When you lost the WWF Title to me, we went at it for over sixty minutes, but even you have to admit that I beat you fair and square. On the other hand, I had the WWF Title stolen from me by what you like to call an accident. That doesn’t sit too well with a guy like me, because up until that point, when I controlled things with my own two hands, accidents didn’t happen. And that’s what I’m going to do next Sunday at Ground Zero. I’m going to take matters into my own hands once again and begin my climb back to what is rightfully mine, and that’s the WWF Championship. Hitman, I have all the respect in the world for you, but come next Sunday, I have no choice but to beat you again. Michaels and Hart stare at each other tensely from across the ring until HBK exits the ring first.(86%)Owen Hart defeated Fatu and Kama w/Clarence Mason in a Triple Threat after interference from British BulldogThis was a preview for the triple threat tag team match at In Your House for the tag team titles. Owen was cut out of the match early by the combined power advantage of Kama and Fatu. The match had many near falls, with the third man always breaking up the pins. In the end, Clarence Mason got up on the apron distracting the referee, but it didn’t work in his client’s favor. With the ref distracted, British Bulldog ran down the aisle and slid in the ring. Bulldog threw Fatu out of the ring from behind and then grabbed Kama and planted him with the Running Powerslam. Bulldog left the ring and Owen covered Kama as the ref turned around and got the three count. Owen posed in the ring, motioning for the tag team titles, but Bulldog didn’t stay around to celebrate. (70%)Warrior is ReadyWe now go to the backstage area where Ultimate Warrior stands in front of a black screen.Warrior: The time quickly ticks by. Days become hours, hours become minutes, minutes becomes seconds! The present is soon the past, and soon you, Scott Hall, will have to come face to face with your future. And your future, your destiny, is the ultimate confrontation with the Warrior. The battle lines have been drawn, and battle field has been prepared, and in just six days you and I will reach ground zero. You must understand, Scott Hall, that I have been to war before. I have prepared for the ultimate battle, I have made the sacrifices necessary, and I have earned the spoils that go to the victor in times past. And next Sunday, I crave the spoils of one more confrontation, the ultimate prize, the WWF Championship! The Warrior has been to the peak of the mountain, I’ve seen the view from the top, and I have made my journey back up that mountain. Scott Hall, at Ground Zero, by the power of the Warriors, I will reach my summit once more! (76%)Sycho Sid defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification after interference from VaderThis was a better match than you might expect. Jarrett put up a good showing, but soon Sid’s power advantage started to become too much. Sid connected with a boot to the face and set Jarrett up for a Powerbomb, when suddenly Vader hit the ring and attacked Sid from behind, causing the DQ. Vader pelted Sid with shots to the head and body and then whipped him off the ropes, but Sid ducked a clothesline and caught Vader around the throat as he turned around and delivered a choke slam! Down on his back, Vader slowly rolled out of the ring and chose to fight another day as Sid stared him down in the ring. (80%)Biting Off More Than He Can Chew?We now go to the interview area where Todd Pettengill is with Steve Austin and Ted Dibiase.Todd: I’m here with Steve Austin, along with his manager Ted Dibiase, and Steve I have to ask you, why in the world would you attack The Undertaker, of all people, last week here on Raw? Austin: Of all people? If you haven’t learned it by now, let me spell it out to you. I am the best wrestler in the WWF today, and I can and will do what I want when I want! If I feel like going out and cracking someone over the head with a steel chair, I will. Who it is makes no difference to me. Why would it matter if it was the Undertaker as opposed to anyone else? Am I supposed to be scared of the Undertaker? The fact of the matter is that no matter who it is, when Steve Austin dents a steel chair over your cranium, you’re going to bleed and suffer, even if you’re the supposed Phenom. But, to answer your question as far as to why I picked out the Undertaker, that answer is simple. Steve Austin isn’t afraid on anyone! They say that here in the WWF you have to go out and take what you want, you have to go out and make a name for yourself on your own, and I think that’s exactly what I did. I went out, took out one of the biggest names in wrestling, and left him bleeding in the middle of the ring. I am the best wrestler in the world, the hottest star in the WWF, and if people won’t move out of my way on their own, then I’ll just start mowing them down myself! (80%)Goldust w/Marlena and Sable defeated Billy Gunn with the Curtain CallA pretty standard match. Gunn got a bit of offense in, but for the most part it was all Goldust. The Bizarre One hit Gunn with a few power moves and soon finished Billy off with the Curtain Call for the win. As the bell sounded, Marc Mero suddenly hit the ring and immediately began to hit Goldust with rights and lefts. Mero was getting the best of Goldust, but as the action was going on in the ring, Marlena pulled Sable back down the aisle and to the backstage area. Mero clotheslined Goldust out of the ring and to the floor, but was soon frustrated after realizing that Sable had already been taken away from ringside. (79%)Tough EnoughWe now go to the interview area with Todd Pettengill and Crush.Todd: I’m standing by with the man who will challenge Ahmed Johnson for the Intercontinental Championship at Ground Zero in a Street Fight, Crush. Crush: You know Todd, Ground Zero is an appropriate name for next Sunday’s pay-per-view, because the ring will look like a war zone when I’m through with Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed, you want to try and challenge my toughness? You have no idea who you’re messing with, boy! A street fight is just my kind of environment. That means I can do whatever I want to you, by whatever means I want to. And trust me, I will do whatever is necessary to decimate you until you can’t take anymore and are begging me to stop. By challenging me to a street fight, no rules, anything goes, you just signed your own death wish. At Ground Zero, I’m going to cripple you and end your career! And the fact that I’ll be leaving as the new Intercontinental Champion is nothing but an added bonus. See you on Sunday, punk. (62%)Snake Among UsOur cameras cut to the crowd and we see Jake Roberts, clad in black dress shirt and pants, sitting in the upper level of the arena. This is the second time we’ve seen Roberts in such a way in the past few weeks. (80%)Steve Austin w/Ted Dibiase defeated Marty Jannetty with the StunnerAustin was in his typical no nonsense mood, and that didn’t bode well for Jannetty. Austin kept the pressure on Marty all match. Jannetty did make a small come back, but he went high risk too early and Austin caught him with a blow to the gut as he came off the top rope with an axe handle. Austin then caught Jannetty with a kick to the gut and connected with the Stunner for the win. (76%)From BeyondAs the match came to a close, the lights in the arena cut out. Then, the familiar gong of the Undertaker was heard as a purple glow illuminated the ring, leaving Austin and Dibiase looking around the ring for the Deadman. A second gong sounded, and then the voice of the Undertaker was then heard in the arena.Undertaker: Austin, you have come into the dragon’s lair. You have chosen to tempt death himself, and that is a wager that no man ever wins. The path of darkness is one you have never traveled, but now you have placed yourself squarely on the highway to hell. At Ground Zero, you will reap what you sow. You must look into the eyes of the Deadman and accept your ultimate fate. You will be punished for your sins, and you will regret the day you decided to cross paths with the Undertaker. Next Sunday, Steve Austin, you will rest in peace! (88%)Ahmed Johnson defeated Skip w/Sunny with the Pearl River PlungeThis was a non-title match. Skip used his quickness to gain the edge early, striking with quick attacks. Skip bounced off the ropes and went for a cross body, but Ahmed caught him in mid air and hit him with a fall away slam. This began Ahmed’s comeback, as the powerhouse took control of the match and never let go of it. Ahmed connected with a spine buster, then set Skip up and drilled him with the Pearl River Plunge for the win. As Ahmed posed for the crowd, Crush hit the ring carrying a steel chair. Crush swung at Ahmed, but Johnson ducked the blow and tackled Crush to the mat, pelting him with rights. Ahmed picked up the chair himself and held it high over his head, but Crush caught him a kick to the “lower region.” Ahmed dropped the chair and fell to his knees in pain. Crush retrieved the weapon off the canvas and then cracked it over the head of Johnson! Ahmed slumped to the mat as Crush stood over him with the dented chair, motioning that he would be taking the IC title at Ground Zero. (80%)Ultimate Warrior defeated Diesel after botched interference from Scott HallThe crowd was treated to this pay-per-view worthy main event, and as expected it was a strength brawl. Diesel was able to slow Warrior down and had control of the match in the early goings, blasting Warrior was elbows in the corner and a side walk slam. Warrior began to make a comeback and rocked Big Daddy Cool with a few shoulder blocks and actually slammed the seven footer. As Warrior gained momentum, Scott Hall made his way down to the ring. Hall jumped up to the apron with his WWF Title and motioned for Diesel. Diesel began to whip Warrior towards Hall, but Warrior reversed it and Diesel’s head smacked into the title belt and sent him to the mat! The impact sent Hall off the apron, and Warrior took the opportunity to bounce off the ropes and connect with a body splash onto Diesel for the win. There wasn’t long to celebrate as Hall got in the ring and attacked Warrior from behind. Hall put the boots to Warrior and then grabbed his title belt and started to size Warrior up, waiting for him to reach his feet. Warrior got up and Hall swung with the title, but Warrior ducked it and clotheslined Hall to the canvas. Warrior then picked up the WWF Title off the mat and blasted Hall in the head with it! Hall’s plan has backfired, and Raw came to a close with Warrior posing on the turnbuckle with the WWF Title. Is this what we will see at Ground Zero? (82%) Ultimate Warrior gained overness from this match

Good RAW, which I enjoyed. The promos were great with the opening with Bret/Shawn being my personal favourite out of them all. Cant wait for them to go one on one again sure that they will have a awesome match. The Austin/Taker match also sounds great. I hope that Owen/Bulldog win the tag titles. Cant wait for IYH, keep up the work

October 13, 1996 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossAhmed Johnson defeated Crush in a Street Fight to RETAIN the Intercontinental ChampionshipThis was a good, hard hitting brawl to open the pay-per-view. Crush and Ahned went right after each other at the bell, and it wasn’t long before various weapons were introduced. Crush took Johnson to the outside and whipped him into the ring steps before strangling him with a cable. Crush went for the Full Nelson Bomb, but Ahmed fought out of it and hit a spine buster. Ahmed then dished out a bit of punishment, getting a trash can from under the ring and hitting Crush over the head with it. Crush was able to recover the match become pretty even. Crush put Ahmed down with a boot to the face and then retrieved a steel chair from the outside. Crush waited for Ahmed to get to his feet and then charged with the weapon, but Ahmed ducked the chair shot before kicking Crush in the gut, causing him to drop the chair. Ahmed then picked up the chair, and with the crowd on its feet, waited for Crush to stagger up before blasting him in the face with the chair! Crush’s skull even put a dent in the chair! With Crush basically out on his feet, Johnson set him up and then planted him with the Pearl River Plunge for the win and retained his IC title. (80%) Ahmed Johnson gained overness from this feud ending Crush gained overness from this feud endingGoldust w/Marlena and Sable defeated “Wildman” Marc Mero with the Curtain CallThis was a back and forth match and very competitive. Mero came out hot and tackled Goldust before the bell even rang, unleashing his anger and frustration through a flurry or rights and lefts to Goldust’s head. Mero held control of the match, but his emotions got the best of him and caused him to make a mistake when he charged Goldust in the corner, but the Bizarre One moved out of the way and Mero hit hard, chest first, on the turnbuckle. Goldust took control of the match, grounding Mero with stiff shots to the back and a few power moves, scoring a near fall after a powerslam off the ropes. Goldust went for the Curtain Call, but Mero flipped out of Goldust’s grip and hit him with a reverse DDT. Mero went to the top rope and connected with the Merosault, but only got a two count. Mero hit a samoan drop and looked like he might go for the Wildthing when Marlena jumped up onto the apron. Marlena tried to distract the ref and Mero, but Sable came over and grabbed Marlena by the arm, trying to pull her to the floor! With the referee distracted by the two ladies, Goldust snuck up behind Mero and hit him with a low blow! Mero fell to the mat in pain, and Goldust took the opportunity to set him up and drop him with the Curtain Call. Goldust covered the Wildman and got the three count. Sable tried to get into the ring to check on Marc, but Goldust restrained her and drug her back down the aisle as Mero lay in the ring unable to help her. (86%)Vader w/Jim Cornette defeated Sycho Sid with the Vader BombAnother match up of power versus power. Neither man wanted to budge in the early goings, and it was Vader who knocked Sid off his feet first with a hard clothesline off the ropes. Vader controlled the match with a methodical pace, going to the body of Sid with rights and lefts and avalanching him in the corner. Vader set Sid up for a powerbomb, but Sid blocked it and back dropped Vader to the mat. Sid then began a comeback, blasting Vader with rights of his own and taking the Mastodon down to the canvas with a big boot to the face. Vader was able recover and get Sid into the corner, but as Vader charged in for a splash, Sid moved out of the way and Vader crashed into the turnbuckle. Vader staggered out and Sid slapped his hand around his neck and planted him with a choke slam! Sid went for the cover, but Vader kicked out at two and a half! Sid couldn’t believe it, but stayed on Vader and set him up for a power bomb. Sid lifted Vader up and actually got the big man almost all the way up, but Vader’s weight was a bit too much and Sid fell backwards to the mat with Vader, and all his weight, falling straight down onto Sid’s chest. With the wind knocked out of him, and possibly even a few broken ribs, Vader drug Sid over to the corner before going to the middle rope and connecting with a Vader Bomb to pick up the win. (89%) Vader gained overness from this feud ending Sycho Sid gained overness from this feud endingYokozuna and Fatu defeated Owen Hart and British Bulldog and The Supreme Machines w/Clarence Mason to RETAIN the Tag Team ChampionshipThis was an elimination match. The match progressed as you would expect, with different members of each team squaring off at different times. The Machines were the first to be eliminated after Fatu and Bulldog actually worked together. As Bulldog and Kama squared off in the ring, Fatu slid in the ring and blasted Kama with a side kick to the jaw. Kama staggered back into Bulldog’s grasp and was planted with a Running Powerslam, and Davey Boy scored the elimination. It was down to the champs and Bulldog and Owen. The match went back and forth, but after a hot tag to Yokozuna, the champions began to take control. Yoko fought off both Bulldog and Owen, and then Fatu recovered back into the match and it became a four man brawl. During the melee, Fatu had Owen set up in the corner for a splash, but Owen pulled the referee in front of him and the oncoming Fatu, causing the official to be squashed between the two and fall to the mat. Owen dropkicked Fatu out of the ring and then began to double team Yoko with Bulldog. Owen went to the outside and grabbed one of the tag team titles belts and ordered Bulldog to hold Yoko. Owen took the belt and charged, but Yoko escaped Bulldog’s grip and Owen blasted Davey Boy in the face with the belt! Yoko threw Owen to the outside, then bounced off the ropes and dropped a huge leg drop across Bulldog’s chest. Yoko covered and the referee groggily got into position and counted the three, allowing the champs to retain their titles. (76%)A Bite Worse Than His BarkAfter the match, as Fatu and Yoko celebrated up the aisle, Owen stood in the ring obviously defected as Bulldog staggered back to his feet. Owen confronted Bulldog and seemed to be asking him what had happened, and he and Bulldog traded words. Owen took a deep breath as he hung his head, then hauled off and slapped Bulldog across the face! Bulldog’s eyes burned with fire as Owen immediately tried to apologize, but it was no use. Bulldog immediately scooped Owen up onto his shoulders and then planted him down to the canvas with a Running Powerslam! The crowd roared their approval as Bulldog pointed to Owen on the mat and gave a few final verbal jabs before leaving the ring and making his way up the aisle. (87%) British Bulldog gained overness from this turn, and he is now a faceThe Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Steve Austin w/Ted Dibiase with the TombstoneThis was a great match, and Austin put on a great showing, taking it to Taker and proving that he meant it when he said he deserved to be running with the top stars of the WWF. The match went back and forth with each man trading control of the match. Austin got in a lot of offense and scored a few near falls, but couldn’t seem to keep the Phenom down. Austin kicked Taker in the gut and went for the Stunner, but Undertaker shoved him off and then grabbed him around the neck before taking him out with a choke slam! It appeared Taker had control and was on his way to victory when Jake Roberts appeared at ringside. Everyone seemed a bit confused at what Roberts was doing here, including Undertaker. Roberts stalked around the ring until he snuck up behind Paul Bearer and, while looking dead into the eyes of Taker, spun him around and dropped him with a DDT on the floor! What was that about? Roberts began to walk back up the aisle, and Undertaker followed him. Taker stalked Roberts as the Snake back tracked up the aisle, but soon he was ambushed from behind by Austin. Austin put the boots to Taker in the aisle and beat on him with rights and lefts as Roberts continued up the aisle and disappeared behind the curtain with a smirk on his face. Austin took Undertaker and pulled him back down the aisle and threw him into the ring. Austin waited for Taker to get up from his beat down on the outside, and when he did he again went for the Stunner, but Taker again countered and this time scooped Austin up and dropped him with the Tombstone. Undertaker crossed Austin’s arms and kept him down for the three count. The Undertaker helped Bearer away from the ring after the match was over, but like everyone else, was left with questions as to why Jake Roberts attacked Paul Bearer here tonight. (89%)Bret Hart defeated Shawn Michaels to become the Number One ContenderThis was the first time since WrestleMania that these two men went one on one, and they didn’t disappoint. The momentum of the match went back and forth, with Hart using mat wrestling to control the pace and HBK trying to use his quickness, as well as some mat wrestling himself, to swing the match in his favor. At one point in the match, Michaels hit the elbow drop off the top rope and began to tune up the band for Sweet Chin Music. HBK went for the super kick, but the Hitman ducked it and took HBK down with a double leg takedown and was able to lock in the Sharpshooter! Hart had the submission cinched in, but Michaels would not give up. HBK was in obvious pain as Hart sat back, but continued to inch his way across the ring until finally reaching the bottom rope, forcing Hart to release the hold. Michaels was hobbled as Hart scooped him up and appeared to set him up for a shoulder breaker, but HBK slipped out the back and caught Hart with Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere! Michaels drug himself over to Hart and draped an arm over him. 1..2..Bret got a foot on the rope! By this point, each man was wondering what it would take to put the other away. At the climax of the match, Hart set HBK up on the top rope, looking for a superplex, but Michaels hit Bret with a few shots to the gut and shoved him off the turnbuckle. Michaels set himself on Bret’s shoulders and went for a victory roll off the buckle, but Hart sat back as HBK tried to roll through and caught him in a pinning predicament. 1..2..3! He got him! Bret Hart is the number one contender for the WWF Title. Hart posed on the turnbuckle as Michaels stood on the opposite side of the ring, visibly frustrated and upset. Hart got down off the ropes and stood across from Michaels. The two men had an uneasy stare down, until HBK extended his hand to the Hitman. Bret thought about it for a few moments, and then returned the gesture. The crowd cheered as Hart and Michaels shared a handshake in the middle of the ring, a fitting end to this great match. (83%)Scott Hall defeated Ultimate Warrior to RETAIN the WWF Championship after interference from Hunter Hearst-HelmsleyWarrior took control of the match early, overwhelming Hall with his power and a flurry of offense. Hall was able to slow the pace of the match down and hit a few if his signature moves, including a fallaway slam that got him a near fall. Hall continued to try and wear Warrior down and set him up for the Razor’s Edge, but Warrior powered out of it and back dropped Hall to the mat. Warrior then connected with a series of clotheslines and a flying shoulder block. Sensing the momentum shifting, Diesel suddenly came running down to ringside. In the ring, Warrior picked Hall up in a gorilla press and then dropped him over the top rope and onto his buddy Diesel on the floor! Warrior went to the outside and threw Hall back into the ring. Warrior was about to set up for a body splash, but Diesel entered the ring and tried to attack Warrior from behind. Warrior saw it coming, however, and cut Diesel off, blasting him with right hands and a shoulder block. Warrior then scooped Diesel up and slammed him to the canvas. As all this was happening, the crowd noticed Hunter Hearst-Helmsley coming down the aisle on crutches. Hunter hasn’t been seen since suffering an apparent knee injury about two months ago. The referee in the tried to clear the ring of Diesel as Warrior and Hall hit each other with double clotheslines. Warrior grabbed hold of the ropes to try and help himself up, but as he did Helmsley jumped up onto the ring apron and cracked Warrior over the head with one of his crutches! Warrior fell to the mat as Hunter jumped back down to the floor. His knee looks just fine! Hunter made his way back up the aisle as the referee finally was able to roll Diesel out of the ring. With Warrior incapacitated, Hall seized the moment and connected with the Razor’s Edge before covering Warrior for the three and retaining his title. Ground Zero came to an end with Hall posing with the WWF Title, along with Diesel, as Hunter Hearst-Helmsley has perhaps cost Warrior the title. (85%) The WWF Title gained in image

Missed a few shows man, but I am picking back up with Ground Zero.
Banner is meh, lol. Lots of detail and very easy to read. Even though Ahmed was extremely over at this time, he needs the belt off him. I hated his original IC title run. Kinda missing alot of backstage type segmants and interviews, it would have made this a little better.
HBK/Hart can't have a bad match. Wasn't expecting much in the main event, but sure glad as hell Hall retained. Even though Hall is a good worker but Warrior is pretty bad, I like the feud and it is original.
Overall another solid PPV man, keep them coming.

Really impressive stuff man! Ground Zero was off the hook, lots of detail and its easy to read which is always a good thing. I am glad Ahmed Johnson retained his title in what seemed to be an all out brawl really. Surprised it got such a high rating though! Goldust/Mero feud with Sable really seems to be hotting up, and I think the idea is really good with Sable trying to help Mero but she can't because Goldust has her against her will. Good match though, and I'm sure Mero will recover and get his revenge. I was shocked that Sid lost, I was sure we was gonna see him put away Vader with a powerbomb! But this is a good way to put Vader over, by giving him a victory over one of the top stars in the company. Nice booking here. I really liked the ending to the tag title match with Owen accidently hitting Bulldog! Well thought out, and a great way to split the partners up. I hope Bulldog gets a push on his own. O wow! Jake Roberts heel turn! I thought that was great, I could easily picture it in my mind. The match was really well written as well, Austin just wasn't gonna hit that Stunner was he? Great match with HBK/Hart, very nicely written but I think it should of got a higher rating! Sounded like a great match though, the ending was good, the way Bret won the match. Hunter screws the Warrior! wow! Great main event, looks as though The Clique is starting up here. REally good ending, glad Hall retained his belt. Overall man really solid PPV, if I could change one thing, it would be to have more interviews backstage just to build matches up. Apart from that though, really good stuff.

Ground Zero was another great show from top to bottom, everything is written out & booked phenomenal.
Crush/Ahmed was a great way to start things off and sounded like an awesome brawl, I love the little things you put in like a dent in the chair, it just comes off so good. I have enjoyed Ahmed's reign although I hope the IC Title goes to someone else soon. I like the whole Goldust/Mero/Sable saga and Goldust needs a push asap. Vader/Sid sounded like a great big man brawl and that Vader bomb would've been huge. Glad you've finally pulled the trigger on the Bulldog/Owen stuff and it was very effectively done with Bulldog snapping and pulling the trigger great stuff right there. I don't know about a Roberts heel turn or feud with Taker in 96 although Im interested to see how it turns out. First off Ramon/Hart great stuff right there and the Hart/Michaels match was well written and the handshake was a nice touch. The main event was good, Helmsley returning is cool and I hope he goes over in the feud ender with warrior. Nice way to have Razor win taking advantage as well and a possible Razor/Diesel/Helmsley alliance could be cool.
Anyway great stuff keep it up.

Good stuff right there.
Vader vs Sid seemed pretty entertaining but I'm really surprised that Sid lost to the big man. Bulldog turning face is awesome! Hoping that leads to a possible push while he perhaps feuds with Owen for a bit. Taker over Austin isn't shocking here but I'm really glad that you continue to make Austin look strong even when he looses. Hes building pretty nicely.
Michaels and Hart was a great bout. Kinda odd reading that they shook hands but I like it. So its Hart vs Hall, that sounds great man. I felt that Warrior wouldn't walk away champion but part of me still wanted it to happen. Would've been pretty neat. Ah well.

IYH was a great show man. So happy Hall retained, and im really glad you have kept the belt on him. Bret vs. HBK sounded great, and i was split between who i wanted to win, and you made a good choice with Bret. I think Bret vs. Hall is going to be a great match. Glad to see Taker beat Austin. Im interested to see where you go with Jake the Snake and Taker from here. Nice to see Ahmed retain, and awesome face turn for Bulldog! Overall, a great show man.
Drop a reply to my WWE '07 - '08 please.

Ah, In Your House... Here we go. The opener was good, very interesting stipulation also. Glad to see you're pushing Crush [especially in his biker badass gimmick] Goldust and Marc had a good match, I also like that Sable turned heel on Mero. Good stuff, and of course, grand to see Goldust pick up the win. Vader and Sid wouldn't have a good match in real life but this match made me think the opposite. These two seemed to have great chemistry. Also good to see a three way tag match, these matches were rare back then, I remember. Fatu and Yokozuna make a good team. The push of Austin should of been like this back in '96. Taker wins, but I wish Raven was back in the WWF. Woah, the same match that happened at WrestleMania XII is on not in the main event and on an average In Your House? Then again the rating was a tiny bit below standards. Thank god, Warrior didn't pick up the WWF title. I'm glad Hall retained but how is a heel vs. heel feud gonna work out? I also liked that HHH cost Warrior the match. I want a Diesel vs. Hall match tbh, that'd be extremely interesting. Reply to WWF 2001? RAW is WAR 23/04/01 is up

Just to be clear, Sable didnt turn heel on Mero (she was trying to help) and Bret Hart isnt a heel either.

*Officials were happy with the way Ground Zero came off. It appears that a few feuds will continue on into the next few months, while new feuds were started. *Backstage officials have reported that Scott Hall's attitude is becoming a problem at times. With Hall being the WWF Champion and preparing to begin a high profile fued with Bret Hart, the issue was ignored for now. *In somewhat of a freak occurence, Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, injured her neck and will be recovering for 8 months. *Expect Raven to return to the WWF sometime this winter. Raven hasnt been seen since his feud with Undertaker concluded, but he has not been released. Also expect a few other new superstars to debut in the coming months. *Survivor Series is expected to remain centered around 4-on-4 elimination matches, along with a WWF Title match.

October 20, 1996 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossNumber One ContenderRaw kicks off with the new number one contender, Bret Hart, making his way out to the ring to a standing ovation.Bret: You know they say that the more things change, the more they stay the same. After last Sunday at Ground Zero, I’m glad to say that even after being gone for five months, one thing hasn’t changed. I am still the Excellence of Execution, and after proving that last Sunday, I’m now one step away from once again becoming the WWF Champion. Scott Hall, we’ve had our run-ins with each other before. Some people might even have the opinion that if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be WWF Champion in the first place. But regardless of the circumstances, the fact is that you have what I want, and that’s the WWF Title. Come Survivor Series, you will find out first hand exactly why I am the Excellence of Execution, and after I become a 4-time WWF Champion, why I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be! (99%) Bret Hart gained overness from this segmentIn His SightsAs Hart’s promo came to a close, Scott Hall’s music hit the arena and the WWF Champion strutted out to the middle of the aisle with a mic.Hall: Hey yo! Say hello to your reigning WWF Champion, Scott Hall! Hitmane, you think you accomplished something last Sunday at Ground Zero? All you did was put yourself in the middle of the Bad Guy’s sights, and that’s not good place to be, chico. You wanna be WWF Champion again? You gotta go through me! And I got news for ya, chico, this gold ain’t going no where any time soon. Your time has passed, Hitman. This is Scott Hall’s time. You call yourself the Excellence of Execution? Come Survivor Series, it’ll be your dreams of becoming champion again that will be executed! You might be the best there was, but this belt right here says I’m the best there is, and after Survivor Series, everyone will know that I am the best there ever will be. Come the Series, the Bad Guy is gonna carve you up! (87%)Steve Austin w/Ted Dibiase defeated Duke “Dumpster” Droese with the StunnerAustin was not in a good mood after his loss to Undertaker last Sunday, and he took out his frustration on Droese. Austin dominated the match from beginning to end, and finished Droese off with the Stunner before getting the three count and leaving the ring in a huff. (79%)Up For GrabsWe now go to the interview area where Todd Pettengill is with Goldust.Todd: I’m standing here with the Bizarre One, Goldust. Goldust, last Sunday at Ground Zero you went one on one with the Wildman Mar… Before Todd can finish, Marc Mero comes into the picture and confronts Goldust.Mero: At Ground Zero, what happened was that you picked up a cheap win. But I’m not concerned with wins and losses. You’ve made this personal, Goldust, and the only thing I want is Sable. This charade has gone on long enough! I want you, in the ring, tonight! Goldust: Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Mero. This production that you call a charade is nothing more than a tale of a fallen hero. A man who time after time fails to come to the rescue of his damsel in distress. But I tell you what, Wildman. I will give you one more shot at redemption. You and myself one on one tonight, but under one condition. If you win, you can have your victorious crescendo and ride off in the sunset with your lady. But if I win….when I win….I get full control of the lovely Sable’s contract. Do we have a deal? Mero contemplates this for a moment, and doesn’t look quite like he likes this arrangement.Mero: You’re on. See you later tonight, chump. (82%)Black HartWe now go to the backstage area and we see a camera shot of Owen Hart.Owen: Davey Boy, last Sunday I proved without a shadow of a doubt who the better man was. For months I carried our tag team, and at Ground Zero I single handedly had the tag team titles won. I had them in my grasp! But you had to screw up the plan. I asked you to do one simple task and you couldn’t even get that right! I’ve known, and all the fans of the WWF have known, that I’m the better wrestler and that I’m better off on my own. You’re nothing without me! Last Sunday I woke up and decided that I was tired of carrying you. I was tired of letting you hold me back. From now on, I’m looking out for number one, and that’s me! And Bulldog, I’m going to enjoy watching you slowly fall apart and slide down to the bottom of the WWF now that I’m not there to watch your back and cover up for lack of skill. And tonight I’m going to watch you start that slide, because I have helped personally hand pick your opponent for tonight. Vader then comes intro frame and stands beside Owen, who gives him a slap on the chest.Owen: Good luck, Davey. You’re gonna need it. (83%)1-2-3 Kid and Albert w/Ted Dibiase defeated The BushwhackersThe Million Dollar Team was on display in this match, and their combination of speed and brute strength was too much for the Bushwhackers. Kid took out Luke with a spin kick to the face, before tagging in the big man to finish him off with the Baldo Bomb for the win. (59%) Luke basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match. Butch didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match ratingEvolution We now go to the interview area where Todd Pettengill is with Hunter Hearst-Helmsley.Todd: I’m standing here with the man who may have cost the Ultimate Warrior the WWF Title last Sunday at Ground Zero, Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. Hunter: I have told everyone all along that I am the best wrestler going today. And I lay claim to that title because I am the complete package. I possess every skill, every trait, that personifies greatness. And last Sunday at Ground Zero I used the trait that I am most blessed with, and that’s smarts. I took one of the biggest names in the WWF, a man who has time after time tried to embarrass me and bury my name, the Ultimate Warrior, and I cost him the WWF Title without barely having to lift a finger. You see, it might have been a crutch to the head that did the damage, but going in to his match with Scott Hall, I was the last thing on his mind. Why? Because the Warrior saw me “carried out” of the arena two months ago with an apparent knee injury that he supposedly caused. I got news for you, my knee is just fine. There never was an injury. What there was, was an opportunity. An opportunity to put a plan in motion to catch Warrior off guard at his most vulnerable and unexpected time, and that time was last Sunday. Warrior, make no mistake about it, you will never make a reputation off of my name ever again. You are looking at the total package. You are looking at the evolution of the next great wrestler, the next level of performance that others will be measured by. The future of wrestling is three letters- H H H! Hunter Hearst-Helmsley! (82%)British Bulldog defeated Vader w/Jim Cornette by DQ after interference from Owen HartThis was the match of the night. Vader and Bulldog’s styles of power and strength made for a great match up and the fans were really into it. Vader controlled the beginnings of the match, hitting a few power moves on Davey Boy, but Bulldog started to make a come back. Bulldog rocked Vader with a few clotheslines and brought the crowd to their feet by slamming the Mastodon! Sensing the momentum in Bulldog’s favor, Jim Cornette jumped up onto the apron, distracting the referee. As Bulldog looked like he might actually try to finish Vader off with the Running Powerslam, Owen Hart came sprinting down the aisle. Owen slide in the ring, and as Bulldog turned around, caught him with a spin wheel kick straight to the face. Owen exited the ring as quickly as he had entered, and the interference allowed Vader to recover and plant Bulldog with a big powerbomb. Vader then drug Davey Boy over to the corner and connected with the Vader Bomb to pick up the victory. (90%) British Bulldog gained overness from this matchTrust Me?Jake “The Snake” Roberts makes his way out to the ring, dressed in black dress shirt and black slacks. He then takes a mic.Jake: There are many questions that surround me at this moment in time. Where have you been the past few months? Why haven’t we heard from you? And why did you attack Paul Bearer last Sunday at Ground Zero? Well my friends, all these questions will be answered in time. In fact, right now I would like to address one of those questions, but first I would need the Undertaker to come out here to the ring. The crowd rises to its feet, surprised Roberts would call out the Phenom. Soon the lights cut out in the arena, we hear the gong, and the Undertaker makes his way out to the ring and confronts the Snake.Jake: Hold on a second big man. Let me explain. You see Undertaker, you and me are a lot alike. We have both traveled on that dark path before. We both know what it’s like to deal in the dark arts. In fact, those similarities have brought us together before and caused our paths to cross in the past. Well now here we are again. And the reason is because you need me. Something big is happening soon. There is a force coming to the WWF the likes of which has never been seen before. An evil incarnate that can not be equaled, even by you, Undertaker. At least not yet. You see Undertaker, you’ve gone soft. You’ve lost touch with that which gives you your power, that which had made you the Phenom of the WWF. Paul Bearer was one reason for that and became a needed casualty. I did you a favor. I’ve cleared the path for you to get back in touch with your roots, to reacquaint you with the true darkness, the depth of which you haven’t even begun to tap. And that’s why you need me. I can take you to that place. It is a place not many men dare to go, and I can assure you that only I know the way. Follow me there, and you will be able to confront this new force, this new entity. Without me, you will not have the tools necessary to combat it, and without you the WWF will go down in flames! And if you reject me, you will go down with it. Think about it, Undertaker. You need me. Trust me. Roberts drops the mic and exits the ring, leaving Undertaker standing in the ring looking after him. What force could Roberts have been talking about?(81%) Undertaker lost overness from this matchGoldust w/Marlena and Sable defeated “Wildman” Marc Mero after botched interference from SableThis match was heated and picked up right where it left off at Ground Zero. Goldust got in some offense, but it seemed Mero’s intensity was going to be too much and was well on his way to victory. However, Goldust reversed an irish whip attempt and Mero accidentally collided with the referee, sending him to the canvas. With the ref incapacitated, Marlena jumped into the ring clutching her purse. It looked as if she was about to hit Mero with the hand bag, which we assume was loaded, but Sable got in the ring and took it from Marlena! The two ladies engaged in a shouting match before Goldust walked over to break them up. As he did, Sable hauled off with the purse in Goldust’s direction, but Goldust ducked and Sable hit Mero in the head! Sable couldn’t believe what she had done, and Goldust took the opening to cover the Wildman. With Sable almost in tears in the corner, the ref crawled into position and counted the three. Goldust now has full control and possession over Sable! Goldust drug Sable by the arm down the aisle as she cried out for Marc, who was yet to regain consciousness in the ring. (85%)Bret Hart defeated Jeff Jarrett with the SharpshooterThis was a good match up of styles as both men were good technical wrestlers. Jarrett put up a good showing and had Bret reeling a bit. Jarrett went for a Figure Four leg lock, but Hart shoved Jarrett into the turnbuckle with his foot and that began the swing in momentum. Hart connected with a series of his signature moves for near falls. Jarrett reversed a whip into the ropes and went for a drop kick, but Hart held on to the ropes and Jarrett crashed to the mat. The Hitman capitalized and locked Jarrett in the Sharpshooter, forcing him to submit after a few moments. As Hart celebrated in the ring, Scott Hall appeared in the aisle. The fans expected him to make a run in, as did the Hitman who turned his attention towards him ready to go at it, but Hall simply smiled and gave Bret a sarcastic applause as the two men locked eyes and brought Raw to a close.

Hart vs. Jarrett would of been classic back here. Nice ending to RAW also. Blech, rid WWF of the Bushwackers, they suck Vader and Bulldog had a good match. Overall, a good show, Reply to WWF '97 or WWF '01?
