The opening six man tag team match seemed a little awkward, but it was alright aside from the Supreme Machines and Yokozuna & Fatu in there, but at least it showed Ahmed Johnson to be the definition of destruction. Good build-up for Royal Rumble's Bulldog vs. Owen match with that interview segment. Alright hype up for Scott Hall by having him defeat Duke Droese. Christian Cage coming in seems alright, a little weird though. Nice capture on Goldust's speech there. Cain beating Billy Gunn is alright, nice build for him. I'm a little bored of this Cain/Taker feud admittedly, so I hope you have something unique happen like Cain turning on Jake Roberts or having Taker injure Roberts. I hope you push Hakushi or form a lightweight division, mainly because Hakushi rocks and is too good to be jobbing to Vader, but nice build up for him. Decent Bret Hart segment. And a somewhat dissapointing main event rating-wise, but it would of been an awesome match.

Wow how did that main event get such a low rating. Thats just stupid. It seemed like a rather short match but it got the point across and it was certainly better than the rating it received.
Awesome Goldust promo. Its hard to picture him without Marlena so I'm interested in seeing what role shes going to play now. I think you could use Hakushi in the Intercontinental division personally. But that would take some building to do and its obvious thats not the direction you see for him.
Warrior wants Mabel....hes really proving just how big of a nut he is. That would be a horrible match!

January 19, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossYokozuna and Fatu defeated 1-2-3 Kid and Albert w/Ted Dibiase by DQThis was a non-title match. Fatu and Yoko powered Kid around for most of the match. An interesting moment occurred when Albert went toe to toe with Fatu, matching him blow for blow and showcasing Albert’s comparable strength to the tag champs. However, in the end Yoko had Kid cornered and was looking to hit the Banzai Drop when the Supreme Machines hit the ring with steel chairs. Tatanka cracked Fatu over the head while Kama nailed Yoko in the back, knocking him off the middle rope. Tatanka continued to wail on Fatu on the canvas as Yoko struggled to his knees. Kama reached back and smacked Yoko across the face with the chair, knocking him unconscious. Kama and Tatanka posed in the ring with their dented chairs, having left the tag champs down and Yoko bloodied just one week before meeting them in a street fight for the titles. (72%)It’s PersonalWe now go to the interview area with Todd Pettengill.Todd: I’m standing here with Steve Austin, along with his manager Ted Dibiase, who will challenge Bret “Hitman” Hart at the Royal Rumble next Sunday for the WWF Championship. And Steve, I want to get your thoughts on what Bret Hart said last week when we said that you have now taken this championship match and made it personal. Austin: Personal? Bret Hart thinks that because I beat his brother-in-law almost senseless a few weeks ago that I’ve made this personal? I’ve got news for Bret Hart. It was personal the day I signed on the dotted line for this title shot! It was personal after I rammed Bret Hart’s head into a steel barricade over and over and over. Bret Hart, I don’t need to beat up your family to make this a personal issue. It’s personal to me because you have what I want most, and that’s the WWF Championship. This is personal because you like to run around and call yourself the Excellence of Execution when we both know that you are looking at the real Excellence of Execution. You’re looking at the best wrestler in the world today, and I deserve to have that title around my waist. And at the Royal Rumble I’m going to get what I deserve. I’m going to get what’s coming to me, and that is the WWF Championship. You think this is personal now? Bret Hart, you just wait until next Sunday. When I get you in the middle of that ring, we’re going to get real up close and personal, and nothing will stop me from getting what I want. Dibiase: You’re looking at the next WWF Champion, Todd. And you and the rest of the WWF fans, whether they like it or not, can take that to the bank. Hahahaha! (88%)The Kliq defeated Bob Holly and the Smoking GunnsThis match was basically a showcase for the dominance of the Kliq. Diesel, Hall, and Michaels took turns taking out each member of their opponents’ team. Diesel hit the Jacknife on Billy, while Hall planted Bart with the Razor’s Edge and Michaels took Holly out with Sweet Chin Music. All three men then pinned their adversaries at the same time. The Kliq celebrated their win together before then taking the Gunns and Holly and throwing them each over the top rope to the floor. Is this a preview of what we will see at the Royal Rumble? (80%)PrimetimeWe now go to the interview area with Todd Pettengill.Todd: I’m standing by with one of the thirty men who will take part in the Royal Rumble next Sunday, D-Lo Brown. D-Lo: I think you better recognize and address me in the proper way. That’s Primetime D-Lo Brown! And I am the hottest thing going in the WWF today. I am a diaper dandy, a prime time player, and most definitely the rookie of the year all rolled into one. And you better believe that my stock is going to rise even higher after I win the Royal Rumble. I mean, can you imagine it? The biggest event of them all, my name up in lights, and getting a shot at the WWF Championship. It’s what I was born to do! So if you knew what was good for you, you’d jump on the band wagon now, and get down with the brown! (72%) D-Lo Brown gained overness from this segment.A GiftWe go to the locker room area and see Marlena sauntering down the hallway. She reaches her dressing room and enters, and finds what looks to be a present wrapped in gold paper. Marlena reads the tag. Marlena: To you, from you know who. Marlena starts to unwrap the box. As she begins to open it up, a jack in the box suddenly pops out that is painted up similar to Goldust, startling her. Marlena looks oddly at the “gift.” Obviously spooked, Malrena leaves the box there and quickly scampers out of the room. (71%)Ahmed Johnson won a 10-Man Battle RoyalThis was a preview of the action we’ll see at the Royal Rumble. The participants for this battle royal included Johnson, Sycho Sid, Marc Mero, Rocky Maivia, Savio Vega, Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, Jeff Jarrett, Crush, Skip, and Mabel. At the start of the match, the other nine superstars ganged up together to eliminate the 400-plus pound Mabel. The match raged on for a while until it was down to a final four of Ahmed, Sid, Hunter, and Crush. Crush and Ahmed squared off, with Crush rattling Ahmed with right hands and a big boot to the face that put Ahmed on the ropes. Crush came at Johnson with a clothesline, but the IC champion was able to duck under and back drop Crush over the top rope and eliminate him. Then, as Sid and Helmsley were tangled up trying to eliminate each other, Ahmed came over from behind and lifted both Sid and Hunter up and out over the top rope, winning the battle royal. (75%)WaitingCain, along with Jake Roberts, makes his way down to the ring. As the monster waits apparently for his next opponent, or victim, the lights cut out in the arena and a bell gongs. A purple light fills the ring and we see smoke begin to billow out from under the ring and surround the feet of Cain and Roberts. We then hear the voice of the Undertaker.Undertaker: Cain…the sands of the hourglass have begun to flow more swiftly. Next Sunday at the Royal Rumble, you will stare into the eyes of the Reaper. You will experience a power that you have never felt before. A beast that cannot be tamed, a fire that cannot be extinguished. Cain, Jake Roberts, if you wanted to awake a sleeping giant, you have accomplished your goal. The Undertaker you wanted to see will be waiting for you at the Royal Rumble, and it will be a night of darkness and destruction! You have brought this on yourselves, and next Sunday you must reap what you have sewn. I am the task master, and the time has come for you to pay the debt that is owed. I will be waiting for you. At The Royal Rumble, you will rest in peace. (84%)Project OmegaWe see a video package featuring two long haired men, one with black hair and the other with hair streaked with blonde and red, with the words “Hardy Boyz” flashing in the background. At the end of the package, the words “Project Omega” flash on the screen, followed by the Royal Rumble logo. (62%) Jeff Hardy gained overness from this segment.Steve Austin w/Ted Dibiase and Owen Hart defeated Bret Hart and British BulldogThese four men will meet in singles matches at the Rumble, but here tonight they faced off in tag team action. Bulldog started the match and was isolated early on by Owen and Austin, keeping him on their side of the ring. Owen went for a cross body off the top rope, but Davey Boy caught him in mid air and turned it into a powerslam. Bulldog then made his way over and tagged in the Hitman, who began to break Owen down with a series of perfectly executed moves. Bret went to put Owen in the Sharpshooter, but just as he turned him over, Austin entered the ring and blasted Bret with a clothesline. This brought in Bulldog, and we then had a four man brawl on our hands. The referee has lost all control if this one. As the melee went on, Austin came from behind Bret and threw him between the ropes and to the floor. Austin then snuck up behind Bulldog as he brawled with Owen, spun him around, and connected with the Stunner. Owen then made the cover, and though Bulldog wasn’t the legal man, the ref made the three count and awarded the match to Owen and Austin. As Austin stood in the ring posing, Bret Hart got back in the ring and tackled Austin to the mat! Bret and Austin began to roll around the canvas trading punches. WWF officials hit the ring, trying to pry Hart and Austin away from each other. The two were finally separated, but both men traded words and finger pointing as they tried to fight through the crowd of security to continue their fight. This served as just a preview of what we will see at the Royal Rumble next Sunday as Raw came to a close. (84%)

Pretty good overall show. It was kind of weird seeing A-Train/Albert in there at this time. Main event was good and closed out the show well. Overall good job

A solid Raw show. Loved the Austin interview write up. Hate Johnson winning the Rumble preview, wish he would just go away Main Event looked pretty good, especially during this era. Royal Rumble card looks pretty good and the build up on Raw was good. Austin/Hart should be amazing. Cain/Taker i'm not interested at all in tbh. The Rumble match looks pretty good but missing a few big names... Can't wait to see more of this

Seemed like a decent opening tag team contest, I liked 123 Kid and Albert failing in winning. Repackage 123 Kid please. This Austin/Hart feud sounds great up to now, but obviously we won't be seeing that match at WM. Good build up for The Kliq's stable, though it was a ltitle rare to have six man tag team matches around this time period, I think. Nice that D'Lo is being built up properly. The Marlena angle was weird. I wish Jeff Jarrett or Hunter Hearst Helmsley run the battle royal tbh. I'd of loved to see HHH win preferably. Ahmed winning is alright though. More hype to Cain/Taker...I think you should of held this until WM. Interesting Project OMEGA stable, I love that idea. Great main event, sounded very realistic. This show was good but for some reason it looked pretty short. The RR graphics are great, as the card will be, that eight man tag will be fun, though will probably get a low rating.

- Great Austin Promo. Nothing else to say about that.
- The Kliq getting the win like that was nice. I have a feeling its going to come down to one of those men in the Rumble. I'll predict Shawn.
- Marlena segment with the Goldust in a Box was pretty funny. Creativity is a great thing to have. Helps makes this stand out from most.
- Ahmed during this time was really popular and I often have mixed feelings for him. But a win here is good...it just makes sense.
- Lovely Taker Promo. Glad he was able to get in the last word just before the ppv. Again, thank you for not doing the "lights go out, out pops Taker" bit.
- Project Omega. Umm. Well I'm not quite sure what to say or think at the moment. So I'll just hold off until I see something.
- Austin and Owen going over in a tag match with their foes is just smart booking. Loved the heated brawl between Austin and Hart. You just have to love this feud at this stage in their careers.

January 26, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossYokozuna and Fatu defeated The Supreme Machines w/Clarence Mason in a No Disqualification Match to RETAIN the Tag Team TitlesThis was a hard-hitting contest to open the event. The match started off in the ring, but soon the competitors took advantage of the no DQ stipulation and some plunder came out. Trash cans and chairs were a few of the weapons of choice, with Yoko blasting Tatanka over the head with a trash can and Kama nearly nabbing the titles after hitting Fatu, who was holding a chair, with a side kick that sent the steel chair into Fatu’s face, busting him open. As the match reached its climax, Clarence Mason on the outside tossed a chain to Kama, who wrapped it around his fist. He loaded up for a right hand to Fatu, but Fatu ducked the blow and Kama was caught in a belly to belly suplex from Yoko. Fatu took Tatanka out of the equation with a side kick of his own, and then he and Yoko drug Kama over to a corner. Fatu placed a chair over Kama’s sternum, and Yoko came down from the middle rope with the Bonzai Drop to get the three count and retain the tag titles. (73%) The Supreme Machines gained overness from this feud ending. Yokozuna and Fatu gained overness from this feud ending. The tag team titles gained in image.Ready To GoWe now go to the interview area and Todd Pettengill.Todd: I am here with the WWF Champion Bret “Hitman” Hart, who later tonight will defend that championship against Steve Austin. Bret: The time for talking is over. Everything that has gone on in the past few weeks between Austin and myself will come to a head tonight. And it’s a good thing, because I don’t know if I could have waited one more day. Austin can talk a good game and he’s pretty good when he’s attacking someone from behind, but tonight Austin, we’re gonna find out just what you’re made of. The time is here. Royal Rumble, WWF Title on the line, and you have to face the Excellence of Execution in the middle of the ring. Make no mistake about it, this has gotten personal and tonight I will do whatever it takes to retain this belt. Tonight, I’m walking in the same way I’m walking out, and that’s as the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and still the WWF Champion. (90%)Brititsh Bulldog defeated Owen Hart with the Running PowerslamThis feud had been brewing for almost four months and came to a head at the Rumble. Owen used his quickness and conniving intellect to keep Bulldog off base and tried to stay away from going toe to toe with the powerhouse. Owen focused early on on Bulldog’s knee, dropping elbows and slamming it against the steel ring post. Bulldog attempted his signature suplex, but his kness gave way, causing him to drop Owen. Owen then bounced off the ropes and connected with a spin wheel kick, but only got a near fall. Owen went for the Sharpshooter, but Bulldog kicked him off into the corner and began to make a comeback. Bulldog hit a few power moves and connected with a suplex, but only got a near fall. Owen again resorted to underhanded tactics, raking the eyes of Davey Boy and hitting a DDT. Instead of going for the cover, Owen went up to the top rope. As Bulldog staggered to his feet, Owen attempted a flying cross body, but Bulldog caught him in mid air, and in an incredible feat of strength, hoisted him up onto his shoulder and drove him to the mat with the Running Powerslam to pick up the win. Bulldog had his hand raised in the ring as the winner of this bout, but both men will also compete later on tonight in the Rumble match. (83%) British Bulldog gained overness from this feud ending. Owen Hart gained overness from this feud endingThe Next WWF Champion?We now go back to the interview area with Todd Pettengill.Todd: I’m standing by with the challenger for tonight’s WWF Championship match, Steve Austin, along with Ted Dibiase. Steve, can I get some final thoughts before your match? Austin: There is only one thought on my mind, and that is Bret Hart and the WWF Title. The only thought on my mind is tearing the Hitman limb from limb, taking him apart piece by piece, and taking what I deserve, and that’s the WWF Championship. Bret Hart, you may be the best there was, and when all the history of the WWF has been written, you might even be the best there ever will be. But the fact of the matter is that you’re looking at the best there is. I am the best wrestler going today, and the only thing missing is that title belt to prove it. Well after tonight, that problem will be rectified, and Bret Hart will be nothing but a cliff note to the career of Steve Austin. (93%)Project Omega defeated The Godwinns and PG-13After weeks of hype, this was the debut of Adam Copeland, Christian Cage, Matt and Jeff Hardy, collectively known as Project Omega. The rookies were welcomed to the WWF by the two brute hog farmers, Henry and Phineas, and PG-13, and were a bit overwhelmed early on in the match. However, the four blue chippers showed incredible athleticism and aerial abilty, and made a ferocious comeback. The four men worked well together, with the Hardy brothers hitting a few tandem moves and Copeland and Cage taking care of business themselves. In the end, all four men ended up in the ring. Copeland hit HOG with an implant DDT while Cage connected with a falling reverse DDT on PIG. Matt dropped Wolfie D face first on the mat, allowing Jeff to go to the top rope and perform a beautiful Swanton Bomb before covering Wolfie and picking up an impressive win in their debut match. (61%) This match suffered because the crowd was still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.The Undertaker defeated Cain w/Jake “The Snake” Roberts by DQThe crowd was in to this match between to phenoms, and we saw the Undertaker come out much more aggressive than we’ve seen him lately. Taker and Cain went toe to toe, exchanging blows that staggered each man but did not put them down. We saw Cain display a bit more of his skills, tagging Taker with a big boot to the face, hitting a sidewalk slam, and even catching the Undertaker with a clothesline from the top rope. But none of it would keep the Deadman down. Undertaker fought back, pounding Cain in the corner with hard right hands and walking the top rope before crashing down on Cain’s shoulder. Cain went for another boot to the face, but Taker ducked and caught Cain by the throat before lifting him up and choke slamming him to the canvas. Undertaker covered, but Cain kicked out at two! Undertaker then signaled for the Tombstone, performing his throat slashing gesture, when the lights cut out in the arena. When the came back on, Undertaker was met with a steel chair to the back of the head. It was Raven! The referee called for the bell, but it wasn’t about the match anymore. Raven belted the Undertaker with the chair over and over in the back. Raven then lifted Taker up and dropped him with an Evenflow DDT onto the steel chair! Jake Roberts was now in the ring directing traffic, ordering both Raven and Cain to continue to beat down the Deadman. Undertaker had a trickled of blood dripping down his face as he tried to reach his feet, but couldn’t. Cain then picked the Deadman up and delivered a Tombstone piledriver onto the steel chair, finally laying the Undertaker out. Drops of the Undertaker’s blood fell onto the chair as Roberts let out an evil laugh. Thunder was then heard in the arena as darkness fell over the crowd. Soon a purple light filled the ring, leading Roberts to direct his charges out of the ring, leaving Undertaker motionless in it. Thunder continued to roll in the arena as four druids made their way out to the ring. The druids took the Undertaker’s limp body, hoisted it up on their shoulders, and began to carry him away from the ring and down the aisle. Could this signify the end of the Undertaker? It was a very eerie sight as the druids disappeared with the body of the Phenom. (91%)Bret "Hitman" Hart (c) vs Steve AustinBret Hart defeated Steve Austin w/Ted Dibiase to RETAIN the WWF ChampionshipThis match had become personal, and emotions were on display in this contest with the WWF Title on the line. The two men came face to face in the ring, and it was Austin who delivered the first blow to the face. From there it was a back and forth match, with both men taking control at points. Both men seemed to have counters for each other’s moves, and it made you wonder if either man would keep the other down for a three count. Hart went for the Sharpshooter and locked it in, but Austin would not submit. Austin scratched and clawed and finally made it to the bottom rope, forcing Hart to release the hold. Hart pulled Austin back to the middle of the rign and went for the move again, but Austin kicked out of hit, shoving Hart chest first into the turnbuckle. Hart turned around right into a waiting Austin Stunner! Hart was down, but Austin’s legs prevented him from making an immediate cover. Austin pulled himself over to Bret and covered him. 1..2..Bret kicks out! Both men staggered to their feet. Austin kicked Bret in the gut and went for the Stunner again, but Bret shoved him off. Austin turned around looking for a clothesline, but Hart ducked and Austin clobbered the referee instead. Hart then took Austin down by the legs and locked on the Sharpshooter again! It looked like Austin may have had to submit, but there was no referee anyway. Suddenly, Diesel, the Kliq’s enforcer, came down to the ring. Diesel stepped over the top rope and blasted Hart with a boot to the face, sending him to the mat. Diesel then went to the outside and grabbed the WWF Title from the time keeper’s table. Diesel waited for Hart to get to his feet and came at him, but Bret moved out of the way and Diesel clocked Austin in the head with the title belt! Hart sent Diesel to the outside with a dropkick, then went to the mat and covered Austin. The referee slowly rolled into position and counted 1..2..3! It might not have been the way he wanted to do it, but the Hitman retains the WWF Title. (87%) Shawn Michaels won the 1997 Royal Rumble, last eliminating Ahmed Johnson

Some highlights of the Rumble included a group of five men eliminating Mabel, Barry Horowitz lasting a whole five seconds, and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley lasting the longest in the match, coming in at number one and lasting until the final five. The mad man who we have seen the past few weeks on Raw attack Vader, who was not entered in the Rumble, made his presence felt as well, running into the match and eliminating Vader with the help of a steel chair. The Kliq managed to stay in the match as a unit, being a part of the final six men left along with Hunter, Warrior, and Ahmed. The Kliq and Hunter worked together, working over Warrior and Ahmed. Hall held Warrior in place for Hunter, but Warrior escaped his grasp and Helmsley drilled Hall with a clothesline, sending him over the top rope. Hunter was then caught from behind by Warrior as he tried to eliminate him, but Hall, from the outside, reached up and pulled Warrior out over the rope as well, eliminating both Hunter and Warrior. Soon a brawl broke out between Warrior and Hunter and Hall on the outside, and the referee at ringside rushed to the aisle to help break it up. As this went on, inside the ring Ahmed ducked a Sweet Chin Music from Michaels and turned him almost inside out as he sent him over the top rope and to the floor with a clothesline! Diesel and Ahmed began to go at it. Ahmed ducked a big boot from Diesel, and the big man crotched himself on the top rope. Ahmed clobbered Diesel, sending him over to the outside, but just as he did, suddenly Michaels entered the picture again from behind and dumped Ahmed over the top rope! The bell sounded and Shawn Michaels is declared the winner of the Royal Rumble. Apparently, with the referees distracted by the brawl in the aisle, they didn’t see HBK be eliminated, allowing him to reenter the ring and then take both Diesel and Ahmed out. A referee saw Michaels in the ring alone and called for the bell, awarding the match to him. Hall and Diesel get back in the ring and celebrate with Michaels as Ahmed seethes on the outside and yells at the referees about what happened. It might not be right, but Shawn Michaels is going to WrestleMania. (74%)

Oh yes, the wait is finally over. Good opening tag team championship match, I found it fairly interesting to be honest. Although it'd be a little sloppy in reality. I hope Supreme Machines eventually win the belts, however. It seemed like a very intense interview with Bret Hart. I hope you make this diary more Attitude Era based in the near future, also. Since it is 1997 now. I expected that Bulldog and Owen would have a good match, and I was correct. I enjoyed the match very much, I love how you write up your Steve Austin promos, your dialogue is spot on. Yeah, I felt that Project OMEGA and Godwins/PG-13 should of gone on in the opener, to be honest. It would of been a good match though. Despite Project OMEGA not being too over. Undertaker and 'Cain's' match was fantastic if you ask me. Though I felt it should of gone on after the WWF Championship match. The DQ finish could bring on the first Hell in a Cell match, maybe? Bret Hart beating Steve Austin is great, good that Hart is still champion. Hope he drops it at WM though. The Royal Rumble was decent, but of course, EWR likes to make those matches have a toned down rating. Unsure about HBK winning the Rumble three years in a row, to be honest. But I hope Steve Austin gets involved in the main event scene at WM13 too. Good job as always.

RR was a good show. I like the team of Fatu & Yoko although like the e-mail thing at the end said, it has probably run its course. I feel like the Hardyz match probably wouldn't be worthy of being on a PPV card at this time- especially RR. I flipped out when I saw Undertaker beat Cain, but then I realized it was only by DQ which is fine. I'm guessing a blowoff match at Mania is brewing. I agree with Bret beating Austin as 1997 was too early to put the title on Austin. HBK winning the RR match 3 years in a row? Not sure about that. Maybe an HBK-Ahmed match to determine who gets the title shot? I'm thinking maybe Austin vs. Diesel at WM could happen which would be good. Hart/HBK, Austin/Diesel, and Undertaker/Cain would be great at WM. Please drop a reply to ECW 2007 when you get a chance.

*The backstage reaction to the Royal Rumble was a positive one. There was some reservation about Shawn Michaels winning the Rumble for a third time, but the plan was always to have one final match between he and Bret Hart at WrestleMania. Seeds have been planted for another feud between the two for months, ever since Hart returned to the WWF. *WWF have signed a star away from WCW. This grappler should debut soon, and may even be immediately put into a high-profile match at the February pay-per-view. *Speaking of signings, WCW haven signed former WWF wrestler Zip (Tom Pritchard) to a contract.

This could possibly be my favorite diary on the board. Im ok with Cain losing by DQ, and im hoping you make this match at Mania. Hart vs Austin was reallly good. Glad Hart came out the winner. Although noone wants him to win at Mania I hope he does. Michaels winning the Rumble is allright. I guess he would be the best opponent for Bret though. Anyway i hope you drop a reply in my Raw diary.

I'm not too familiar with this era but have heard of most who competed in RR Yoko and Fatu winning is good, I haven't heard of there opponents actually. Bulldog vs Hart looks like it would have been a great match, I'm a fan of what both of these did in the business. Project Omega eh, seems like a good way to get these guys in Edge and Hardy's and I reckon in real life these 3 would work well together. Glad after all the hype they got the win at Royal Rumble Hmm, Taker beating Canin via DQ... well I understand why you did that and all I guess. but hey I'd of preferred a clean win either way Hart defeating Austin= good for me, I'm quite a fan of what both of these did in wrestling but hey Hart > Austin in my eyes RR itself looks good, good people in it and all, Michaels winngi was umm... perhaps slightly predictable, I'd of preffered to see Ultimate Warrior or somebody get there arm raised but still... Great RR There mate Reply WWE 2004 if you could ;D

February 2, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossI Hate To Say I Told You So…Raw kicks off with the Kliq strutting their way out into the arena. Hall, Diesel, and the winner of the Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels, stand in the middle of the ring to a chorus of boos.HBK: Well, well, well. Does anyone else have a feeling of déjà vu? It almost seems like I was here oh, I don’t know, a year ago. In fact, it seems like I was here even two years ago. But in fact, what you’re experiencing isn’t déjà vu, this is reality. And reality is that you can change the numbers in the year, but the result stays the same, and that is the Heartbreak Kid winning the Royal Rumble. And I hate to be the one to say I told you so, but I told you so! I told you that I would do what no one else has ever done before, and that was win the Royal Rumble not once, not twice, but three years in a row. And how, you might ask, is that possible? Because I am unlike anyone else before in the history of the WWF, and quite frankly I am that damn good! No one can be the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels! I am one of a kind. I am the showstopper, I am the main event! And the main event is exactly what I will be once again at WrestleMania when I take back what is rightfully mine, and that is the WWF Championship. And you know, as the three time winner of the Rumble, I have to give credit where credit is due. None of this would be possible without a strong support system, and I have to give thanks to the Kliq for all you have done for me over the years. No, not you idiots in the stands, I’m talking about the true Kliq, Scott Hall and Diesel. Take a good look ladies and gentlemen. You are looking at the biggest force in wrestling today. And after WrestleMania, not only will the WWF Title belong to the Kliq, but so will the entire wrestling world! (96%)Not So FastAs the Kliq prepare to leave, WWF President Gorilla Monsoon makes his way out to the aisle to a nice ovation.Gorilla: Shawn Michaels, I hate to rain on your parade, but I have an announcement to make that regards yourself and WrestleMania. Last night, you did in fact win the Royal Rumble. The referees’ decisions is final and I cannot take that away from you. Congratulations. Michaels mouths the words “Thank you” as he plays to the crowd, while Hall and Diesel clap for him.However, I think it goes without saying that you won the Royal Rumble in highly controversial fashion. Michaels simply shrugs his shouldersSo while I cant take away your right, as the Rumble winner, to a WWF Title match at WrestleMania, I can force you to defend it. Therefore, right here tonight, you will go one on one with man you last eliminated from the Royal Rumble last night, Ahmed Johnson! And the winner of that match will officially receive a WWF Title shot at WrestleMania Thirteen. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of the night. Michaels and the rest of the Kliq are irate at this ruling, but it is official that Michaels and Ahmed will go one on one tonight for the right to face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania.(78%)Jesse James and Bob Holly defeated The Smoking GunnsThe Gunns seemed like a likely favorite against the pairing of James and Holly, but Billy seemed uninterested in the match early on, leading to a few miscommunications between he and Bart. After Bart looked for a tag while Billy was distracted, Bart grabbed Billy by the arm and spun him around. After a bit of arging, Bart pushed Billy, which caused the two brothers to go face to face. Cooler heads seemed to prevail as Billy calmed down and offered his hand. The two men shook hands, but Billy then pulled Bart back towards him, kicked him in the gut, and hit him with a Rocker Dropper! James looked on at this a bit confused, bit took advantage of the situation and pinned Bart for the win. Bob Holly came into the ring and asked Billy what he was thinking, when suddenly Jesse James drilled Holly with a clothesline! What’s going on? James then grabbed Holly and planted him with a pump handle slam. James and Billy Gunn looked at each other, and then gave each other a high five. The crowd was stunned at what just happened as James and Gunn walked up the aisle together. (80%) Bill Gunn gained overness from his heel turnAngry AustinWe now go to the interview area where Todd Pettengill is standing by.Todd: I am here with Steve Austin, along with his manager Ted Dibiase, who came so close to winning the WWF Title last Sunday at the Royal Rumble. Steve, I want to get your thoughts on that match and the sentiment that perhaps, had it not been for the interference of Diesel, you would be the WWF Champion. Austin: Are you kidding me? After all this time of fighting and clawing my way to the top, I finally get what I deserve at the Royal Rumble, a WWF Title shot, only to have it ruined by some pip squeak’s oversized bodyguard? You’re damn right I should be the WWF Champion! I had it all wrapped up. I had the Hitman right where I wanted him! And then that big oaf Diesel had to stick his nose in my business where it doesn’t belong. I could care less about the issues Diesel, or Scott Hall, or Shawn Michaels for that matter have with Bret Hart. If you all want to beat his brains in, that’s fine by me. But you do it on your own time! Not on my time. What I want to know is why you saw fit to interfere in my match and stick your nose in my business. It doesn’t sit well with me. You see what happened at the Royal Rumble was a travesty. I consider myself the uncrowned WWF Champion. I should be standing here with the WWF Title around my waist. I know it, the WWF knows it, and most importantly Bret Hart knows it. But the fact of the matter is that my moment was ruined by someone who had business being there in the first place. Bret Hart, you’re time will come, and it will come soon. There is no more denying Steve Austin! And as for the Kliq, it might be tonight, it might be tomorrow, it might be next week, but I want answers. And until that time comes, if I were you gentlemen, I’d watch my back. (99%) Steve Austin gained overness from this segmentThe Hardy Boyz defeated PG-13Matt and Jeff, who made their debut as part of Project Omega at the Royal Rumble, made their tag team debut here on Raw taking on PG-13. Wolfie D and JC Ice were upset after being defeated at the Rumble, and took control of the match early on. PG-13 tried to isolate Matt in their corner, but the Hardy brother fought back and eventually made a hot tag to his brother Jeff. Jeff delivered dropkicks to both JC and Wolfie D, and he and Matt performed a short flurry of double team moves. Matt grabbed JC Ice and dropped him face first to the mat in a move he calls the Twist of Fate as Jeff went to the top turnbuckle. The referee ushered Matt out of the ring as Jeff came off the top rope with a beautiful Swanton Bomb and connected. Jeff covered Ice and got the three count, giving the Hardy Boyz a successful Raw debut. (69%)Gold-Stalked?We go to the locker room area where we see Marlena putting the final touches on her look for the night. Marlena walks away from the mirror to take something out of her bag. When she returns to the mirror, there is a blonde wig lying on the table with a note written on gold paper. Marlena lets out a short gasp before picking up the note and reading it aloud. “See you soon.” (76%)D-Lo Brown defeated Savio Vega with the Lo DownD-Lo made an impressive showing at the Rumble, being there at the end, but came up a bit short. However, he looked to keep his singles undefeated streak going here against Vega. Savio came out hot and took Brown down with a few impact moves, scoring a near fall after a power slam off the ropes. However, a high flying leg drop to the face killed Vega’s momentum. D-Lo then took control, keeping Savio off balance with a combination and speed and power. Savio went for a roundhouse kick, but D-Lo ducked and caught Vega with the Sky High. Brown then went to the top rope and connected with the Lo Down frog splash to pick up the win and keep his undefeated streak alive. (70%) D-Lo Brown gained overness from this match Savio Vega lost overness from this matchEnter Cactus JackWe now go to a dark room and see a man sitting in a chair with a lone light bulb shining down on him.Cactus: I know all of you and probably wondering who I am and what I’m doing here in the WWF. Well my name is Cactus Jack, but my reason for being here is not as simple. You see I have put my body on the line is this sport we call wrestling for many years. I have traveled the world, broken a few bones, earned a few scars, and been a part of matches that would make your stomach turn! But there is one match that was particularly gruesome that stands out above the rest. It took place on a cold night in Germany when I stepped into the ring with the man known as Vader. Vader and I went toe to toe, trying to inflict as much damage as possible to one another, and there were many pain filled moments. But there was one moment that stands out. One moment that changed my life forever. And that was the moment when Vader assaulted me and literally tore my ear off of my skull! (Cactus pulls back his hair, revealing what is left of his right ear). Flesh ripped apart from flesh and blood began to pour from where my ear used to be. And what did Vader do? He proceeded to power bomb me almost straight through the mat! There was no mercy, there was no inhibition, and I would expect nothing less. This collection of cartilage is all I have left of that night. It is a constant reminder of how much…fun I had that night. You see, the pain of a flesh wound has never bothered me. I like it! But what does bother me, Vader, is that you took more that my ear that night. You took a piece of my soul. You took a piece of my pride. You’re not the first man to leave Cactus Jack permanently disfigured, but you are the first man that I have yet to return the favor to. So now I have come to the WWF to do just that. Vader, I hope you’re looking over your shoulder, because what you have coming to you has been years in the making. And when I’m through with you, you will wish that a severed ear was the worst of your injuries! Bang, bang! (82%)Shawn Michaels defeated Ahmed JohnsonJohnson was obviously fired up for this match, and used his extra motivation to overwhelm Michaels early on. Ahmed delivered a flurry of power moves, but Michaels continued to kick out. HBK was able to turn the tide after taking advantage of Johnson’s eagerness, dodging an avalanche in the corner, causing Ahmed to strike shoulder first into the steel ring post. Michaels focused on the injured shoulder throughout the match, slowing the powerhouse down. Michaels connected with a top rope elbow drop, but Ahmed kicked out at two. Michaels started to tune up the band and went for Sweet Chin Music, but Johnson ducked and then planted Michaels with a spine buster! It looked like Ahmed might claim a title shot as he set Michaels up for the Pearl River Plunge, but out ran Scott Hall and Diesel. Both men got up on the apron, but Ahmed blasted Hall with a right hand that sent him to the floor. Diesel tried to enter the ring over the top rope, but Ahmed cut him off and sent him back to the outside with a clothesline. The referee was letting this one go, but was then knocked out after Ahmed charged HBK and Michaels moved out of the way, causing Johnson to collide with the official. Ahmed dodged an attack from Michaels and set him up again for the Pearl River Plunge, but was suddenly attacked from behind with a chair shot to the back! It’s Hunter Hearst-Helmsley! What’s he doing out here? Helmsley turned Ahmed around and locked him in place for the Pedigree before driving his head to the canvas. Hunter then left the ring as Michaels covered Johnson. The referee sluggishly got into position and slowly counted the three, giving Michaels the win. Hall and Diesel helped HBK to his feet and celebrated in the ring as Helmsley stood on the outside, a smirk on his face as Raw came to a close. (87%)

Nice to see you put up another show. It's interesting that you call them Hall/Diesel and not Hall/Nash. I liked Michaels' mannerisms in that segment with Monsoon. I assume that HBK will still pick up the win though. I like the idea of putting the NAO together. Maybe have them against Holly & Bart next week? I liked what happened with Austin. Maybe Hart/HBK/Austin at Mania? Or maybe Austin beating Diesel at Mania would be better. Not much to say on the Hardyz match- just don't give them too big of a push. Marlena segment was pretty good, and it'll be interesting to see what happens with her and Goldust. D'Lo over Vega was fine, and hopefully D'Lo gains some personality along the way. Cactus segment was cool and very realistic; good job capturing him. HHH interfering is fine, and it made sense for HBK to win. I'm guessing maybe Ahmed/HHH at Mania? You're doing a good job of building up feuds and what not, and it was a really good show to read. Hope you continue posting shows somewhat frequently as I can't wait to see how Mania plays out. Please drop a reply to ECW 2007 when you get a chance.
