WWF In Your House: Last Stand: Sunday 27th April 1997...Hmm, good opening contest with an interesting combination used; Goldust and Sycho Sid's feud has certainly been interesting, but I hope that this is the conclusion. Marlena turning on Goldust was foreseeable, really. Hopefully Goldust disappears for a while; time for him to re-essense his character. Until then, if Marlena becomes more of a 'sl*t' style character, that'd make for good storyline advancement in a few months. Hmm, the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship match should have opened in my mind; it served as the filler, which isn't so great. Sean Waltman beating Hakushi is fine, Waltman makes for a great cocky heel champion; everybody wants some. A solid filler of a six man tag team match with the New Age Outlaws and Jeff Jarrett beating Yokozuna and Fatu with British Bulldog, as it served its' purpose. I expect Billy Gunn and Jesse James to take the WWF Tag Team Championships. Owen Hart and Chris Benoit would have an epic match, obviously. The cheap finish win for Owen is smart, and could lead to a rematch. However, I feel this was overshadowed by Mr Perfect winning the WWF Intercontinental Championship; wasn't expecting that, to be honest. D-Lo Brown, what's next for him? I'm intrigued. Next, another big match as Diesel and Stone Cold Steve Austin got it on; I'm wondering why Razor Ramon is Scott Hall whilst Diesel isn't Kevin Nash. Liked the interference. The Undertaker and Kane fighting to another no contest is odd; you need to think of more original ways to keep this rivalry going. Hunter Hearst Helmsley beating Ahmed Johnson is fine, a great win for Hunter, but hopefully this ends the rivalry. Finally, amazing main event with Shawn Michaels beating Bret Hart, but becoming new WWF Champion already is strange. Bret and Vader will feud now I presume. Overall, worked well and effectively as a pay-per-view, but was more buff and probably superior from WrestleMania 13. I didn't like the amount of star-studded matches; it was like a triple main event. The match ordering was off and got repetitive in my mind. But yeah, it was good. Just too buff. Hopefully next time you neglect some storylines from pay-per-view, possibly letting Undertaker and Kane end their rivalry in a gimmick match main event rather than ending in the midcard scene. But nine matches on an In Your House is ridiculous.

- Actually surprised that Goldust won the opener. But, that is fine with. Marlena w/ Sid could be interesting as well. - I’m sure the Lightweight title match was a damn good one, and a fine win for Waltman. - Interesting to see the Outlaws win and I’m figuring their will be a tag title feud. - I hope that Owen vs. Benoit will continue. That seems to be a good series of matches. - not surprised that Perfect won, at all. The whole career stipulation always makes it obvious in my opinion. - Fine to see Diesel win, and having Hall help him out doesn’t hurt Austin too much. - Very interesting outcome with Cain and Taker. Glad to see it continue as well. - Poor Ahmed losing. HHH seems to be a on roll and expect a decent size push for him. - Awesome to see Vader getting involved in the main event, which seemed good, and it looks like Vader is getting a main event run or something which I am in favor of completely.

*Obviously, as evidenced by his appearance at Last Stand, Scott Hall's suspension is over and has returned full time. *Skip has returned from his injury. He had his first match back this past Sunday on Superstars in a losing effort against Marc Mero. Creative actually had an idea for a small storyline involving Skip before his injury, so we will see if those plans go through now that he is back. *Two superstars have revealed drug problems to management. JC Ice of PG-13 checked himself into rehab recently, and developmental talent Steve Blackman acknowledged that he had an addiction to cocaine. Blackman was released. *Bart Gunn and Tiger Ali Singh have left the company after their contract were allowed to expire. *Independant wrestler Bill Goldberg has been signed to a developmental contract. *WCW has signed former WWF superstar Ultimate Warrior to a contract.

May 5, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossBack on TopRaw kicks off with the Kliq, including new WWF Champion Shawn Michaels, strutting to the ring in all their glory.HBK: Did I tell you or did I tell you? Everyone knows that the Heartbreak Kid talks the talk, but you can’t say that he doesn’t also walk the walk. I told everyone that I would be WWF Champion again, and now standing here in this ring, who is the man with the gold around his waist? And what a victory it was. The deck was stacked against me by the powers that be in the WWF. It was my last shot at the title. The Kliq was banned from ringside. No one wanted me to be champion again. But Shawn Michaels thrives on pressure. It didn’t matter that this was my last shot. And as much as I enjoy their company, and you guys know how much you mean to me, but I don’t need any help from the Kliq to beat Bret Hart! Never have, never will. And so, against all odds, I did what I do best. I rose to the occasion while Bret Hart did what he does best- choke. So now that the world of the WWF is back in order, and the Kliq is back on top, whether you like it or not, you’ll just have to get used to it. We are the WWF. We are wrestling! Scott Hall, the big man Diesel, and the Showstopper, the Main Event, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. It doesn’t matter who you put in front of us. You line them up, we’ll knock them down. But tonight is a night of celebration. So we’re gonna relax in the back, enjoy some beverages, watch the show, and live like rock stars like we always do. Now hit our music! (92%)Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated PsychosisGreat action from the lightweight division was the first contest. Both men displayed a fast and furious pace that is common in the lucha libre style. In the end, Mysterio went to the apron and connected with a hurricanrana off the top rope to pin Psychosis for the three. (83%)No Holding BackWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Ahmed Johnson, who despite being a bit banged up, outlasted eight other men to get to the finals of a battle royal last night on Superstars, and tonight you will go one on one with a man you’ve had your problems with lately, Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, only this time, the winner will be named the number one contender for the WWF Championship. Ahmed: Tonight, personal feuds and bad blood will be aside. Yeah, it’ll feel good to get my hands on that punk Hunter Helmsley one more time, but what will make it even sweeter is that when I pin his ass to the mat, not only will I get the satisfaction of taking him down, but I’ll finally get my shot at the WWF Championship. Injury or no injury, it would take a pack of wild dogs to keep me from that ring tonight. This opportunity has been a long time coming. And I got news for Shawn Michaels. You’re officially put on notice, boy, because after I’m done with Hunter Helmsley tonight, you’re next. (80%)Yokozuna and Fatu versus the New Age Outlaws was a No ContestThe Outlaws were getting a shot at the tag titles after getting a pinfall victory, however controversial, over the champs at Last Stand. Yoko and Fatu didn’t seem as concerned with the titles as they did about just dishing out punishment to the Outlaws, and the match soon broke down into a four man brawl. As the referee tried to restore order, he was shoved out of the way and down to the mat by Fatu and immediately called for the bell, throwing the match out. The champs and the Outlaws continued to brawl. James was able to bail out of the ring, but Gunn was left alone in the ring. With Gunn surrounded, Fatu planted him in the mat with a Fatu-Driver, before Yokozuna then delivered a huge leg drop across Gunn’s face. Yoko and Fatu dared James to come into the ring himself, but all he could do was stress in the aisle over his flattened partner. (78%) The tag team titles gained in imageCain w/Jake Roberts defeated Flash FunkCain wasted no time in this one, obviously on a mission of destruction after being piledriven on the stage by Undertaker at Last Stand. Flash was valiant in his effort, but was punished with power moves before being planted with a chokeslam to seal the deal. Cain prepared to leave the ring after the win, but Roberts stopped him and pointed to Flash, mouthing some type of orders. It appeared Cain wasn’t interested and turned to leave the ring again, but Roberts grabbed him from behind by the hair, bring him face to face and again barking his orders! Cain stood stoic in Robert’s face for a moment, but as Flash stirred to try and get to his feet, Cain grabbed him and gave him another chokeslam! This brought a smile to Roberts face, shaking his head and then leading Cain away. (72%)Easy PickingsWe now go again to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, who will be the other man in the number one contenders match later on tonight against a man you know well, Ahmed Johnson. HHH: Yea, I know that piece of street trash very well. In case anyone forgot, I’m the man who has beaten him twice in a row, including at WrestleMania, and I’m the reason that he cant move his arm without wincing in pain. Ahmed Johnson is a sitting duck tonight. Not only is he injured, but he knows like I know that he lacks the skills to ever beat me. And with a shot at the WWF Championship at stake? That’s what this game is all about, and I play the game better than anyone else. In fact, I am the game! I am the best at what I do, and what I do is win. Tonight will be no different. (94%) Hunter Helmsley gained overness from this segmentVader defeated Savio VegaThe Mastodon returned at Last Stand, and looked dominant again here tonight against Vega. The street fighter pulled no punches with the big man, but Vader was too much and eventually overwhelmed Vega, ending the match after a Vader Bomb. Vader is back, but the question still remains, why did he target the Hitman as his first victim? (74%)Mr. Perfect and Chris Benoit defeated D’Lo Brown and Owen HartFour rivals continued their story in tag team action. Both teams showed good teamwork, and the tension was palpable. Benoit seemed to take the brunt of the match when he attempted a head butt from the top rope onto Hart, but when Owen moved out of the way and Benoit crashed into the mat, he received a heavily bloody nose. In the end, Hart and Perfect were the legal men, and Owen went to the top rope. But Benoit, who had been brawling with Brown on the outside, jumped up on the apron and shoved Owen off the turnbuckle as he attempted a cross body, sending him hard to the mat. As Owen staggered to his feet, clutching his gut, Perfect snatched him into the Perfect Plex and pinned him for the victory. (81%)Ahmed Johnson defeated Hunter Hearst-Helmsley to become the Number One Contender for the WWF TitleAhmed entered the match with padding and bandages around his injured arm and shoulder he sustained at Last Stand, and Hunter focused on the area most of the match. Ahmed was still able to muster the strength to hit a series of power moves that got him near falls. Hunter dodged a charge in the corner and after Ahmed collided with the turnbuckle, connected with a Pedigree. 1..2..Ahmed kicks out at the last second! Bad arm and all! Hunter was beside himself that his finisher didn’t score him the win. Perhaps out of frustration, Hunter uncharacteristically went out to the top rope. Hunter attempted a double axe handle from the buckle, but was caught in mid air and planted with a spine buster! Gathering up all the fortitude in his body and fighting through pain, Ahmed set Helmsley up and drove him to the canvas with the Pearl River Plunge. 1..2..3! Ahmed Johnson has persevered and become the number one contender. (88%) Hunter Helmsley lost overness from this match Ahmed Johnson gained overness from this match Hunter Helmsley gained overness from this feud ending Ahmed Johnson gained overness from this feud endingRun InsAhmed’s moment in the sun didn’t last long, as all three members of the Kliq hit the ring and ambushed Johnson from behind. Ahmed tried to fend them off, but the combination of a three on one attack, plus the grueling match he just endured, was too much. Diesel and Hall held Ahmed up and stretched out his already injured arm for Michaels to land a swift superkick right to the injured shoulder/arm of Johnson. As the Kliq gloated in the ring, the crowd was brought to its feet as Steve Austin hit the ring! Michaels bailed through the ropes as Austin slid into the ring, but Hall and Diesel were both met with right hands. Hall charged Austin in the ring, but was quickly back dropped out to the floor. Austin then ducked a big boot attempt from Diesel and deposited him to the floor as well with a clothesline over the top rope. Raw came to a roaring end as Austin taunted the Kliq from the ring as the WWF Champion and his compadres backtracked up the aisle. (82%) Steve Austin, Diesel, and Shawn Michaels lost overness from this segment

May 12, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossPeople Like YouRaw kicks off with the WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels strutting out to the ring with the WWF title over his shoulder. As he makes his entrance, we learn that Michaels will defend the WWF Title against the new number one contender, Ahmed Johnson, at the upcoming In Your House: Over the Edge pay-per-view.HBK: Can you feel it? Can you feel the electricity that’s going on around the WWF? Now usually when words like electricity and buzz are being thrown around, they are connected to the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. But it seems lately that the buzz around the wrestling world is about Ahmed Johnson. The Pearl River Powerhouse who will, apparently, end the reign of Shawn Michaels as WWF Champion just as soon as it began. He’s too big, he’s too strong, Shawn Michaels doesn’t stand a chance. Well I got news for you folks. I’ve made a living out of proving people wrong. I’ve made a living out of taking down the so called “big men” in our sport and cutting them down to size. And I’ve made a living of stepping up to the plate and being the showstopper, the main event, the one and only Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels! And if anyone thinks Ahmed Johnson will be any different, you’re sadly mistaken. Now Ahmed, I know you have dreams and aspirations of becoming the WWF Champion at Over the Edge, but lets get one thing straight. Ahmed, take a good long look in the mirror. What do you see? You don’t see the WWF Champion. You don’t see a main event. You definitely don’t see Shawn Michaels. You are not even on my level, boy! People like you never quite reach the top. People like you can only get so far in life. It’s been that way for years my man. You are what you are. People like you don’t beat people like me. And people like you don’t become champion! So dream your dreams, Ahmed, like many people like you have dreamt before. But at Over the Edge, your dreams come crashing down into reality. And the reality is, you cannot, and will not, beat me. Now hit the champs’ music! (95%)Mr. Perfect defeated Rocky MaiviaThis was a non-title match, as Mr. Perfect had accepted the challenge laid down on Superstars to defend his title at Over the Edge against D’Lo Brown. The youngster Maivia put his best effort forward against the vet, but in the end missed on a cross body block from the top rope, which allowed Perfect to slap him in the Perfect Plex for the pin. Maivia looked very disappointed and upset, but eventually accepted a handshake from the IC champion before leaving the ring. As Perfect celebrated in the ring, he was suddenly attacked from behind by D’Lo Brown! Brown put the boots to Perfect on the mat before grabbing the IC title belt and knocking Perfect out with it. Brown then went to the top rope and delivered the Lo Down frog splash! D’Lo stood over Perfect talking trash, signaling that the IC title would be his again before strutting away from the ring. (84%)Me, Myself, and IWe go to the interview area.Todd: I’m with Steve Austin, and I’m here to get his reaction to Scott Hall and Diesel issuing a challenge on Superstars for a tag team match at Over The Edge; Hall and Diesel against you, Steve Austin, and a partner of your choice. Austin: If Scott Hall and Diesel wanted another go with Steve Austin, asking was all they had to do. I owe both of those bastards some payback and retribution, and that’s exactly what I’ll get at Over the Edge. As far as a tag team match, why don’t we go ahead and make it a six man match? Because the only partners I need are me, myself, and I! You two bring both your asses down to that ring at Over the Edge, and I guarantee I’ll whip both of them by myself. Handicap match, street fight, no holds barred, it doesn’t matter what stipulation you wanna throw out there, Steve Austin will be there with bells on! Hall and Diesel are in for a beating of their life, and that’s the bottom line. As a matter of fact, I hope the Kliq is watching their little monitors in their big, expensive locker room and pays real close attention, because what happens to Scott Hall in that ring later on tonight will be just a preview of what will be in store for both of them at Over the Edge. Now why don’t you take your scrawny self out of here so I can get ready for my match? (100%) Steve Austin gained overness from this segment.Billy Gunn defeated Yokozuna after interference from Jesse JamesGunn seemed reluctant to take on Yoko himself, and for good reason, as the sumo champion dominated most of the match with his power and size. As Yoko looked to drag Gunn to the corner for the Bonzai Splash, Jesse James came running down to the ring and jumped on the apron, distracting the referee. As the ref confronted James, he slyly tossed what looked to be a chain into the ring. Yoko seemed a bit distracted by James as well, which allowed Gunn to recover and hit Yoko with a low blow as he was perched on the middle rope, sending the big man backwards onto his back on the canvas. With Yoko down, Gunn grabbed the chain that had been thrown into the ring, wrapped it around his fist, and then delivered a fist drop from the top rope with the loaded fist to Yoko’s head. Gunn threw the evidence away and covered Yoko. The ref turned back around and slid into position and counted the three, giving Gunn the surprising upset. As the Outlaws gloated and looked like they might commence with a two on one attack, Fatu lumbered to the ring, causing Gunn and James to clear the ring. Fatu checked on his partner as the New Age Outlaws celebrated up the aisle. (75%) Billy Gunn gained overness from this match.Jack AttackThe music of Hunter Hearst-Helmsley hits the arena as Hunter starts to make his way down the aisle for his match, his first since losing the number one contenders match last week. However, before he even makes his halfway to the ring, he’s ambushed in the aisle from behind. It’s Cactus Jack! What’s this all about? Cactus pins Hunter against the guard rail and peppers him with right hands, slumping Hunter into s seated position against the railing. Cactus steps back, and then smashes into Hunter’s face with a running knee, sandwhiching his cranium between Jack’s knee and the rail! Helmsley slumps over into the aisle while Cactus looks quite pleased with himself. Jack gives off a “Bang, Bang” before disappearing behind the curtain, leaving Hunter laying. (81%) Hunter Hearst-Helmsley lost overness from this segment. A Real HartWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Owen Hart, who at Over the Edge was originally scheduled to face Chris Benoit, but Benoit has apparently suffered a broken nose from his tag team match last week here on Raw and will be unable to compete until the end of the month. And it’s a broken nose that you had a hand in delivering, Owen. Owen: Are you kidding me, Todd? Chris Benoit doesn’t have a broken nose. I was in the match last week, I saw the blood coming from Benoit’s face, and all I saw was a tiny scratch. The truth is that Chris Benoit is intimidated. He’s intimidated of a real Hart. I beat him at Last Stand and showed him that, no matter how much he fantasized and tried to convince himself, he is not, and never will be, a Hart. He’s not from our family, his last name isn’t Hart, and he doesn’t measure up to me, the greatest Hart of them all, in any way. I was going to be generous enough to give him another shot at me at Over the Edge just so I could humble him some more, but obviously he lacks the intestinal fortitude to face me again. And that just goes to show you, Todd, yet another reason why Benoit isn’t a Hart. I wear pink and black, and the only color Chris Benoit really is, is yellow. (91%) Owen Hart gained overness from this segment.Sean Waltman defeated Billy Kidman with the BuzzkillThis was a non-title match for the Lightweight Champion. Youngster Kidman’s ability was evident, but the cunning and experience of Waltman was too much. After ducking a clothesline, Waltman caught Kidman with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head, and followed it up with the Buzzkill facebuster for the win. (80%)It EndsThe arena is engulfed in red light as Jake Roberts leads Raven and Cain down to the ring.Roberts: Many words have been said, and many actions taken in the conflict between my Ministry and the Undertaker. My monster, Cain, has stood toe to toe with the Undertaker unlike any man has before, though as of yet a complete victory has yet to be attained. But this war will soon meets its end of all ends. At Over the Edge, Cain will meet the Undertaker in a Casket Match! And Undertaker, Cain will finally put an end to this conflict by burying your body, soul, and spirit. He will do it, or else. Cain looks over at Roberts, and though shrouded by a mask, looks upset at Roberts apparent threat, or perhaps being put into a Casket Match with Taker. Roberts looks his charge in the face and begins to shout and point his finger in his face. Cain then grabs Roberts by the throat! Jake appears to be pleading for his life when Raven grabs Cain by the hair and tries to pry Cain off of Roberts. Is the Ministry imploding in its quest to destroy the Undertaker? Suddenly the lights go out, and a gong is heard. When the lights come back on, the Undertaker himself is standing in the ring! Cain turns towards Taker and lets Roberts go in order to attack Taker. Cain and the Phenom go blow for blow, trading right hands until Taker gets the upper hand and gives Cain a boot to the face that sends him over the top rope, though Cain lands on his feet. Taker stands in the ring and gives Cain the throat slash as he rolls his eyes in the back of his head. Cain turns slowly and begins to walk up the aisle, bypassing both Roberts and Raven as he walks behind the curtain.(93%) Cain gained overness from this segment.Vader defeated “Wildman” Marc Mero w/SableThe Mastodon continued his recent rampage, and this time the victim was a valiant competitor in the Wildman. Mero’s quickness took Vader off his game early, but in just the few seconds it took for Vader to connect with a belly to belly suplex, the tide was turned. In the end, Vader powerslammed Mero after he attempted a cross body from the top and then connected with the Vader Bomb for the win. As Vader posed in the ring, a roar was heard from the crowd. Running down the aisle was Bret Hart! And he was bringing a chair with him! Hart slid in the ring behind Vader and blasted him in the back with the chair. Through Hart’s cut off t-shirt you could see that his ribs were heavily taped, injuries from Vader’s attack at Last Stand, but they didn’t seem to bother Hart at this moment. Hart hit Vader with the chair in the back again, and then a shot to the head sent the big man falling through the ropes to the floor. Hart stood at the ready in the ring with the chair as the crowd cheered and Vader backtracked up the aisle, looking a bit surprised. (79%)Steve Austin defeated Scott Hall by DQ after interference from DieselThe feud between Austin and the Kliq is heated already, and this was the first one on one meeting between Hall and Austin after Austin initially attacked Hall in the locker room area with a chair a few weeks ago, and then Hall cost Austin his match against Diesel at Last Stand. Both men have similar hard hitting styles and the match reflected that. Hall set up for the Razor’s Edge, but Austin slipped out and went for the Stunner, but Hall shoved Austin off of him. Hall looked for a clothesline, but Austin ducked it and then connected with the Stunner! 1..2..kick to the back of the head! Diesel has entered the ring! The referee calls for the bell as Diesel begins to attack Austin on the mat, with Hall soon joining in. Is this what awaits Austin at Over the Edge? As the two on one attack continued, Ahmed Johnson came running down to the ring! Ahmed slid in the ring and began to go toe to toe with Diesel. Ahmed ducked a big boot and then planted Diesel with a spine buster! Diesel rolled to the floor as Austin clotheslined Hall over the top rope on the other side of the ring. Austin and Ahmed then bumped into each other back to back. The two men turned around and squared off, but Ahmed simply nodded his head to Austin. Hall and Diesel backtracked up the aisle, vowing to get Austin and Ahmed back as Raw came to a close. (90%)

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 5th April 1997...Solid promo to start things off, with the new WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels in the ring. Not a bad promo here, and I liked his mention of all of the Kliq. I do wonder what will happen to Bret Hart now, though; I expect he'd disappear again for a few months. Amazing opening contest, glad to see these light-heavyweights from around the world being showcased on RAW, definitely a way to reverse Monday Nitro's stronghold on their cruiserweights. Rey Mysterio Jr beating Psychosis is acceptable, a fine opener. Ahmed Johnson becoming contender to the WWF Championship would be a pretty decent filler feud going into May's In Your House; but hopefully he won't main event too much. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley I expect will soon become a part of the Kliq; which would be a very fine move to make Helmsley's career more meaningful. Yokozuna and Fatu feuding with the New Age Outlaws still is good; liked the brawl as it even more developed us on the road to the Attitude Era; like it. Cain beating Flash Funk was predictable; fine and dandy since it didn't damage Flash too much. Vader beating Savio Vega is fine; it gets him leverage after returning at Last Stand: In Your House. Mr Perfect and Chris Benoit facing D-Lo Brown and Owen Hart combined feds, but should have definitely first-hour main evented, rather than gone before the main event. Lastly, amazing feud ending battle, and I predicted Hunter Hearst-Helmsley would lose, since Ahmed Johnson is the face here. I hope Ahmed Johnson is able to get momentum by taking out Kliq members in the upcoming weeks though: the factor of Shawn Michaels having Kliq backing him up whilst WWF Champion can only be entertaining for so long. A good fallout from Last Stand.

*The final card for Over the Edge will come into focus this week on Raw. We can already confirm Shawn Michaels vs Ahmed Johnson, Steve Austin vs Scott Hall and Diesel in a handicap match, Undertaker vs Cain in a Casket Match, and Mr. Perfect defending the IC Title against D'Lo Brown. *A newly signed star is expected to make his debut at Over the Edge. *A possible heel turn for a young superstar is in the works. The word is that it has been given the go-ahead and should take place in the coming weeks, if not sooner. *There will be a King of the Ring tournaement this year. The 1997 edition should begin its opening round after the PPV.

May 19, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossMotivatedRaw kicks off with Ahmed Johnson coming down to the ring to a nice ovation from the crowd.Ahmed: This Sunday at Over the Edge, I’m getting an opportunity that has long been due my way, and that’s a shot at the WWF Championship. I’ve come a long way from living in the streets to the world of the WWF, and on Sunday, I’ll finish my walk to the top by giving that punk Shawn Michaels the beating of a lifetime! It seems that there are some people, like Shawn Michaels, who don’t think I deserve to be champion. I think the term he used was “people like me.” Well I’ve got news for Shawn Michaels. People like me are the ones you need to be the most worried about. People like me have fought and scratched and clawed their way to where they are. People like me know what its like to come from nothing and make something out of yourself. And most importantly, people like me know how to fight. And on Sunday, that’s exactly what I’m coming to do. Someone once said that they had a dream. I have a dream too. And on Sunday, my dream becomes a reality! And for Shawn Michaels, boy, your reality becomes a nightmare. (87%)Jesse James defeated Fatu with help from Billy GunnLast week Gunn defeated Yokozuna, now Fatu looked for some revenge heading into Over the Edge. Similar to last week, Fatu seemed to dictate most of the match, but soon enough Gunn came to ringside to try to cause a distraction. As he tried to get the referee’s attention, Yoko came down the aisle to neutralize the situation. Attempting to flee from the sumo, Gunn slid into the ring in the middle of the match, but as Yoko tried to give chase, it was he who was restrained by the ref. With the official’s attention diverted, Gunn and James took Fatu and delivered a double-DDT onto one of the tag team title belts that Gunn brought into the ring. Gunn then scampered off with the belt as James covered Fatu for the win. The Outlaws celebrated up the aisle, as they are now 2-0 in singles competition against the tag champs heading into Over the Edge. (77%)Inner Workings?We go to the apparent locker room of the Kliq, where we see all three members lounging around.Hall: Hey Kev, I tell you what mang, I cannot wait for tonight when we see the return of the two dudes with attitudes, Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Diesel: Hey, what I wanna know is why am I the only guy who still has to go by a lame nickname? Doesn’t Diesel sound kind of uncool now? Why cant I just be Kevin Nash? You and Shawn get to use your real names now. HBK: Big man, as long as you got my back, you can be called whatever you want. Diesel: That’s right, we do make the rules, don’t we? Hall: You got that right. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Vader. Hall and Nash get up from their seats and get between him and Shawn.Vader: I need to talk to you. HBK: Take it easy guys. What can I do for you, big guy? Vader: I want what you promised me. I took care of Bret Hart for you, now you take care of me. I want my title shot! HBK: First of all, big man, if you haven’t noticed, I already have my hands full with Ahmed Johnson. The office says he’s the number one contender. Now as much as I would love to give you that title shot, even I don’t make the matches. So for now it looks like you’ll have to wait in line a little longer than we might have expected. Second of all, after seeing Bret Hart bash you with a chair last week, I don’t think you took enough care of him. You said you could take him OUT, and I haven’t seen it yet. So before you come barging in to our locker room demanding things from me, you need to take care of your business first. When that happens, then we’ll talk. Vader doesn’t look happy as he stares at Michaels, then at Hall and Nash before barging out of the room, slamming the door behind him.(67%)Cactus Jack defeated Henry Godwinn with a Double Arm DDTJack was very aggressive here and made short work of the hog farmer, overwhelming him with hard hitting offense. Godwinn was able to get a few licks in himself, but in the end Cactus took control and planted him with a Double-Arm DDT for the win. (73%)Cactus’ WorldAfter the match, Jack grabs a mic from ringside.Cactus: Last week, an invitation was extended the way of one Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. An invitation into the real world. An invitation in the world of Cactus Jack! It’s a world that is far away from what Hunter Helmsley is used to. There are no silver spoons, there are no leather bound books, and bottles of fine wine are only used to bash over the heads of your enemy! You see I do not live in a world where classic wrestling holds and sheer cunning are prized, but it’s a world where only the strong survive. Where your worth is determined by the amount of punishment you can take, and being sure you can dish out just a bit more to someone else! Abd if you enter this world, you will have to put your very self on the line to escape. So I offered this invitation to Hunter Helmsley, and whether he wants to or not, I will make sure he accepts with an RSVP signed in his own blood! You wanted to play games, Hunter? You want to be the game? Well lets find out how good a player you really are! Bang bang! (76%)Hart and SoulWe go to the interview area where Todd Pettengil is with Bret Hart, with his ribs still taped like we saw last week.Todd: I’m here with the Hitman, Bret Hart, who made a surprising appearance last week here on Raw and attacked Vader, the man who cost you the WWF Championship. And now I’ve been told that you personally went to Gorilla Monsoon and demanded a match against Vader this Sunday at Over the Edge. But Bret, I have to ask, you obviously don’t seem to be a hundred percent. Was asking for this match a smart move? Bret: Let me tell you something, if anyone made a move that was not so smart, it was Vader. I don’t know what kind of deal he and Shawn Michaels made, but the bottom line is he cost me the WWF Championship. Over the years in my career, it hasn’t mattered how much bigger or stronger someone was than me, I still stood toe to toe with them and in the end they went down. Vader is no different. Injured ribs or no injured ribs, it doesn’t matter. At Over the Edge, I’m coming at Vader with everything I’ve got and I guarantee he will pay for what he cost me. The fact is, I don’t need a belt to prove that I’m the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and this Sunday Vader will be in for a rude awakening when he gets excellently ex….. Suddenly Vader ambushes Hart from behind, taking him down to the floor. Vader pelts Hitman with right and left hands. Vader then grabs a light stand from the interview area and smashes it down over the back of Hart! Officials rush to the scene and get in between Vader and Bret. Vader walks off, the damage done, as Bret writhes in pain on the ground holding his ribs. (77%) Bret Hart lost overness from this segment.Mr. Perfect defeated CrushThis was a non-title match, but Crush is a hardnosed competitor and you wouldn’t have known it watching him work over Perfect. However, the IC champ was up to the challenge, and after ducking a boot to the face, was able to lock Crush in the Perfect Plex for the victory. As Perfect was having his hand raised, D’Lo Brown snuck down to the ring and attempted to ambush Perfect from behind for the second time in two weeks, but Perfect was ready this time. Perfect averted the attack and landed some right hands to Brown’s face. Perfect went for a Perfect Plex, but Brown escaped out of the hold and bailed from the ring. Perfect had a smile on his face as he let Brown know he was just “this close” from being put on the mat, but Brown backtracked up the aisle vowing that he would never be caught in that move again, which was a move that helped end his undefeated streak and IC title reign. (76%)Cain defeated RavenJake Roberts makes his way out to the ring, followed by his Ministry of Cain and Raven.Roberts: In six short days, the Ministry’s mission in the WWF will be complete. The Undertaker will meet his demise, and at the hands of his own specialty, the casket match. And it will come at the hands of the true phenom of the WWF, Cain. But there is something that is troubling me. And that trouble is with you, my friend (looks at Cain). This Sunday at Over the Edge, it will take a power that I have failed to see from you to defeat the Undertaker. Take it from me, my friend, you will need to reach into a dark depth that you have yet to delve into in order to put the Undertaker away. There is a power in you, Cain, that the world has yet to see. You must unleash it. Unleash the rage, unleash the hatred. Let the darkness out! Embrace it as you never have before. Because if you don’t, you will be left lying in your own resting place. Look at me! (Roberts grabs Cain by the hair) There comes a time when a parent who loves their child must make a choice and decide that no matter how much they may care for their child, the only way to get through to them is with tough love. Maybe that’s what you need. Maybe in order for you to release the power you need to defeat the Undertaker, the power you need to fight for your very soul, you need to be put in that exact situation. Maybe you need a warm up, a precursor, before you face the Undertaker. Someone who knows what the darkness is about, someone who has embraced it. If that is the lesson you need, I may not be able to give it to you, but I have someone who can. Suddenly, Raven attacks Cain! Raven begins to pound away at Cain and apparently we have our match. Raven doesn’t look intimidated by Cain and continues his assault. Raven ducks a big boot and connects with the Evenflow DDT! However, after only a brief moment, Cain sits up on the mat to the surprise of Raven and even Roberts. Cain then begins a rampage, taking apart Raven with stiff uppercuts and slams to the mat. Cain catches Raven by the throat and plants him with a chokeslam. Roberts has a smile on his face as he instructs Cain to end it, and Cain obliges by taking Raven and driving him down with a Tombstone before crossing his arms and pinning him for the three. Roberts gets in the ring and is pleased with Cain’s work, but Cain doesn’t seem happy about being ambushed by his own clan, and starts to stalk Roberts around the ring. Roberts is trying to calm Cain down when the lights go out in the arena. After a few moments, when they come back on a casket is sitting next to the ring. Roberts is caught between Cain and the casket, and as he turns back towards the casket to try and leave the ring peacefully, the lid flies open and the hand of the Undertaker grabs him by the neck! Taker has Roberts in a goozle, but releases his hold when Cain intervenes. Cain and Taker begin to trade right hands, with neither man gaining a clear advantage. Then Raven joins in, attacking Taker from behind. Taker fights him off for a moment, but soon the two on one attack begins to take its toll. Cain then actually shoves Raven out of the way and starts to handle Taker himself, pelting him with rights. The two monsters fought out onto the ring apron, when Cain took Taker by the throat and chokeslammed him down into the casket! Cain slammed the lid shut and stood on top of the casket, before raising his arms and then thrusting them back down, causing fire to shoot out from the top of each turnbuckle! Roberts stood by with an evil smile on his face, basking in the power of Cain. Maybe this “tough love” approach has worked and awakened an even fiercer monster inside Cain. If this happens at Over the Edge, we may have seen the end of the Undertaker. (76%)Ahmed Johnson and Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels and Diesel (Kevin Nash)The crowd was very hot for this main event. Johnson and Austin were uneasy partners at best, exchanging some stiff tags early on, but each knew it was worth it in order to get their hands on the Kliq prior to Over the Edge. At the climax of the match, Austin and Diesel spilled to the outside, brawling on the floor, leaving HBK and Ahmed in the ring. With the referee distracted by Austin and Diesel, Scott Hall made his way to the ring to assist Michaels. Hall grabbed Ahmed from behind and held him for some Sweet Chin Music, but Johnson escaped Hall’s grasp and Michaels hit Hall with the kick. As Michaels turned back around, Johnson kicked him in the gut and quickly turned him over onto the mat with the Pearl River Plunge! 1..2..3! Ahmed stood in the ring with his arm raised as Raw came to a close. If Ahmed Johnson can repeat his performance tonight at Over the Edge, we will crown a new WWF Champion. (93%)

- Decent promo by Ahmed Johnson to start the show. I don’t see him winning the title at all, but he is a fine choice to be given a title shot on what I would assume to be a second level pay per view program. - Fine opener, but I see the champions retaining the championships as this was a way to get the challengers over. - I really liked the promo with Vader and the Kliq. That came across very well in my mind. - Another good promo with Cactus Jack on HHH. The promos, for the most part are very well written. - Good way to build up Hart/Vader heading into the PPV some more. - Perfect/Brown segment was fine. I’m surprised that feud hasn’t ended yet. Seems like it has run its course. - Wow, that segment with Roberts, Raven, Cain and Taker was just epic. AWESOME job on that. - With Ahmed pinning HBK its booking 101 for Michaels to retain the title at the PPV. - Very good show.

Monday Night RAW: May 19th, 1997 - Ahmed opening the show is fine.. but I really don't remember rhim being that good of a mic worker, could be mistaken, but just seem silk it would be an okay promo. - A solid opening contest with Jesse James beating Fatu with help. - Wow, the Kliq promo with Vader was fantastic imo. Came off veery well. - An alright match with Cactus/Henry Godwinn but yet another fantastically written promo with Cactus. - I feel like I'm saying the same thing over and over again.. but you captured Bret Hart very well. I liked Vader attacking Hart, very Vader like. - Perfect/Crush seems like an okay match. Just kind of comes off as "filler" to me, but that might be because I haven't read the entire diary. - Wow, yet another fantastic segment with Raven/Cain/Taker. You're great at writing great segments. - Ahmed & Austin vs. Michaels/Nash was a good way to close the show. Ahmed pinning Michaels is a pretty bold move. I still say he has no chance of winning the strap but maybe you'll surprise me.

May 25, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossYokozuna and Fatu defeated New Age Outlaws to RETAIN the Tag Team TitlesThese two teams’ rivalry had really been heating up lately. The Outlaws tried to cut Fatu off from his partner for most of the match. After a few near falls, Fatu finally made the hot tag to Yoko, who began to clean house. At the climax of the match, with Yoko and James in the ring, Gunn distracted the referee while he tossed and chain into the ring, reminiscent of how the Outlaws stole a singles win a few weeks ago on Raw. James wrapped the chain around his fist and attempted to strike Yoko, but the sumo blocked the right hand and gave James a thrust to the throat causing him to drop the chain. Yoko picked up the chain himself, and with the ref still distracted, blasted James with a right hand of his own. With James out on the mat, Yoko stood over his body before dropping his massive weight onto his chest to pick up the three count and retain the titles. (76%) The tag team titles gained in imageD’Lo Brown defeated Mr. Perfect to become the NEW Intercontinental ChampionThe match was fairly even throughout, with each man getting near falls on the other. D’Lo was aggressive in avoiding the Perfect Plex, escaping a few early attempts. Near a high point in the match, a large man made his way to the ring, someone we hadn’t seen before. The man got on the apron, distracting the referee and Mr. Perfect. Brown tried to attack Perfect from behind, but Perfect side stepped him, crushing the referee between Brown and the large human being on the apron. With the referee down, Perfect grabbed Brown and locked him position for the Perfect Plex, but the large man entered the ring and ambushed Perfect from behind! (82%) Mr. Perfect lost overness from this match D’Lo Brown gained overness from this matchHunter Hearst-Helmsley defeated Cactus Jack by DQIt seemed Cactus was determined to teach Hunter a bit of a lesson, attacking him before he could even get his entrance attire off. Jack connected with hard hitting offense that rock Hunter early on, but Helmsley did fight back, taking Jack down with a few more technical moves and holds and a staggering knee to the face. In the end, Hunter went for the Pedigree, but Cactus escaped the hold before quickly giving Hunter a kick to the gut and connecting with a Double Arm DDT. It appeared that that might have been enough to put Helmsley away, but instead of going for the cover, Cactus thought about it and went to the outside instead, grabbing a steel chair. Jack slid back in the ring where the referee warned him not to use the chair as Hunter struggled to his knees. Cactus looked at the chair, then at Hunter, and then cracked the chair over Helmsley’s head! The referee immediately called for the bell, but Jack shoved him out of the way before picking Hunter back up to his feet and hitting him again with the chair! Cactus dropped the weapon and gave a “bang bang” before exiting the ring. It appeared Cactus had no intention of winning the match, but accomplished his real goal. (82%) Cactus Jack was sluggish in this matchSteve Austin defeated Scott Hall and Kevin NashAustin showed no hesitation about the 2 on 1 stipulation, attacking both Hall and Nash and fending them both off early on. It was inevitable that the numbers advantage would catch up. Austin took a beating from the Kliq members, but would not give in and be pinned. Austin began to make a comeback, hitting both men with right hands and a Lou Thesz press. However, his momentum was again cut off. Towards the end of the match, an unfamiliar individual made his way down to ringside. It was Brian Pillman! Pillan stood at ringside while at appeared the Kliq had control of the match. Pillan caught Hall’s attention, who came over by the ropes and started to trash talk him. Hall then took a toothpick from behind his ear and flung it into the face of Pillman. This didn’t sit well, and Pillan reached into the ring and pulled Hall out to ringside and slapped him across the face! Hall and Pillman began to brawl on the outside, trading right hands to the delight of the crowd. Nash seemed distracted by the brawl, and allowed Austin to recover and then walked straight into a Stunner! Austin covered Nash and got the three count as Hall was late with a save. Austin had his hand raised while Hall and Nash stood fuming on the outside, and Pillman stood at the top of the ramp, silently clapping in Austin’s direction. (90%) Kevin Nash lost overness from this matchVader defeated Bret HartHart’s ribs were still taped up, and provided a bull’s eye for Vader to focus on. Hart controlled the early goings with his speed advantage, trying to bring Vader down to size by attacking his knees. Vader turned the tide with his power, constantly going for the ribs any time Hart appeared to be building momentum. Hart seemed to have nothing left after writhing in pain following a powerslam and standing splash from Vader, but somehow kicked out each time. Vader tried to end the match with the Vader Bomb, but Hart mustered the strength to roll out of the way. With Vader down on the mat, the Hitman attempted the Sharpshooter, but Vader kicked Hart away with his legs, pushing him hard into the turnbuckle where, again, Hart clutched his injured ribs. Vader pounced and planted Hart with a huge powerbomb. With Hart down, Vader again went to the ropes, and this time connected with the Vader Bomb. There would be no kick out from Hart this time. Vader had his hand raised, but the Mastodon wasn’t finished. Vader continued his assault on the Hitman after the bell, punishing him with right hands on the mat. Hart tried to pull himself up by Vader’s tights, but Vader continually hammered him back down. Vader picked Hart up and planted him with another powerbomb. Vader then rolled to the outside and pulled Hart out. With Hart in his arms, Vader drove Hart back and ribs first into the steel ring post once, twice, three times, four times! Vader then dropped Hart’s body to the floor as officials and medics rushed to ringside. Satisifed, Vader backed away as medics checked on Hart, who could be seen with blood beginning to come from his mouth, perhaps the effects of internal injuries. (84%) Vader gained overness from this match Bret Hart lost overness from this matchShawn Michaels defeated Ahmed Johnson to RETAIN the WWF ChampionshipMichaels used his speed to use quick strikes against Johnson, but when Ahmed was able to take hold of Michaels, HBK was bounced around the ring like a rag doll. Johnson took control and looked like we may have a new champ in the works when Hall and Nash appeared. With Ahmed in control, Hall jumped up on the apron, distracting the referee, while Nash went to the time keeper’s table and grabbed the WWF Title belt. With the referee distracted, as well as Ahmed, Nash slid the belt into the ring to Michaels. Michaels took the title and as Ahmed turned his attention back around tried to hit him in the face with it, but Ahmed ducked! Ahmed kicked Michaels in the gut, grabbed the title belt himself, and blasted Shawn in the head with it himself! Johnson tossed the belt to the canvas and covered Michaels as the ref turned back around and slid into position. 1..2..3! Ahmed Johnson has done it! Ahmed has won the WWF Championship! As Ahmed is pumped up and celebrating in the ring, Hall and Nash frantically try to get the referee’s attention, pointing to the title belt in the ring and the large lump on Michaels’ head. The referee sees the title and looks perplexed. Now a second referee comes down the aisle, talking to the match referee about what had happened. As Ahmed is posing with the title, the ref rips it away from him and goes over to the ring announcer. The announcer makes the announcement to the crowd that, due to using the title belt as a weapon, Ahmed Johnson has been disqualified and Shawn Michaels is announced as the winner! Hall and Nash gather Michaels and the title, helping him back up the aisle and taunting the crowd and Johnson. Incensed at what had happened, Ahmed grabs the match referee and gives him a Pearl River Plunge! Johnson grabs the second referee who came to the ring and plants him to the mat as well! Neither Ahmed or the crowd is happy with what has happened here, and you can bet Ahmed’s pursuit of the WWF Championship is not over. (90%)The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Cain w/Jake Roberts in a Casket MatchThis heated rivalry headlined the event for the night, as these two phenoms tried to put an end to their feud. Cain looked very focused and aggressive, going toe to toe with Taker and even overmatching him at some points like we’ve never seen before. Cain came close to putting Taker in the casket, but Taker blocked the lid from being shut. In a high point of the match, Cain chokeslammed Taker off the apron into the casket! But as he as about to close the lid, Taker’s hand shot out of the casket, grabbing Cain by the arm and preventing the lid from being closed. Taker then began to make a comeback, peppering Cain with rights and lefts and a big boot. Undertaker attempted the Tombstone, but Cain shifted his weight and reversed the move. However, Taker then pulled the same reversal on Cain and drove him to the mat with his signature move! Taker asked for the lid on the casket to be opened. Taker began to roll Cain over to the casket, but Jake Roberts jumped to the apron and tried to interfere, but was quickly grabbed knocked to the floor with a right hand. Just as Taker rolled Cain to the edge of the apron, Cain grabbed Taker by the throat, preventing himself from being put in. Cain got to his feet, still holding Taker by the throat, and then shoved him to the canvas. Cain turned around and sternly slammed the casket lid shut, implying he would not be placed in. However, Taker quickly closed in as Cain turned back around, goozling him, and then chokelsamming him through the casket lid! Wood splintered everywhere, and though there was a hole in it, the lid was technically closed on the casket with Cain inside, so the referees called for the bell and awarded the match to the Undertaker. Purple light engulfed the arena as the Undertaker’s music hit, and the Deadman struck his signature pose in the ring, signifying his victory, as Cain lay motionless inside the casket amongst broken shards of wood.

It was smart for the Outlaws to try and stop Yoko from entering the ring, but ultimately the champions retaining makes the most sense. I am personally not a fan of D-Lo but he was red hot at this time, so giving him the strap makes sense. Hopefully, this leaves room for Perfect to move up the ladder. Triple H winning by disqualifcation makes a ton of sense because it allows the feud to grow a lot more, and eventually lead to a hardcore match. I LOVE the reunion of the Hollywood Blondes! I really hope you do something special with Pillman because he is something special. I am a huge fan of Vader, so hopefully this win over Bret will help him get to the main event level. Thank god Shawn retains over Johnson because Johnson could never carry the federation. I love the main event and the chokeslam through the casket was sick! I always loved the Jake Roberts involvement because he just fits in so well. Ultimately, this remains to be a great diary and this was a great show.

-Yokozuna and Fatu is an original, interesting tag team and I'm glad they retained -I'm gonna guess that the large man is Mark Henry. Was pulling for Perfect but this is okay also -Cactus Jack just wanting to hurt HHH is a good call for his crazy persona -Austin winning is a good idea, I like Pillman getting involved -Vader over Hart is huge for the Mastadon, love it. Push him please. 4 shots into the turnbuckle make him look like a monster -HBK retaining by DQ is an interesting call, I guess Johnson gets another shot at the next PPV but I pray he doesn't win -Chokeslam through the casket is an amazing idea that I completely love. 'Taker winning was good as well
Great PPV from a great winner in a great diary. Keep this up.

I'm looking forward to the King of the Ring, I'm hoping Skip does well as I've always thought that Chris Candido was a pretty underrated wrestler and didn't really get to shine in the WWF, mostly because of backstage politics.
I would like to see Owen Hart and HHH meeting in the final, I think you'd be able to come up with a great fued between those two branching off from the KOTR.

WWF Over the Edge: Sunday 25th May 1997...Alright, pretty decent opening contest with Fatu and Yokozuna taking on the New Age Outlaws for the WWF Tag Team Championships; I like this feud, but am not so fond of Billy Gunn and Road Dogg being built up so well just to fall in this match. I really feel like they deserve a run with the belts sooner or later. Plus, their feud has been brewing since about before WrestleMania 13. D-Lo Brown beating Mr Perfect to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship was appropriate. I think it's almost right for Perfect to stop competing now, with little left to do. He did a good job putting over D-Lo in this feud, though. I think this should have opened, though. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley beating Cactus Jack serves as a massive shot; but the disqualification finish made it obvious. Seems like there's more to this feud and I look forward to it. I am just not sure of it being before a big handicap match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Nash and Scott Hall of the Kliq. Decent match and all, but Austin winning and dominating this handicap match...not so sure about. Great feud between Bret Hart and Vader picking up to this point; just hoping that Vader and Bret continue their feud; it was pretty good, but pretty odd that Vader demolished Hitman and injured him, Maybe Bret's off for another break. Next, obvious retaining of the WWF Championship by Shawn Michaels against Ahmed Johnson; wouldn't have been a bad match, but obvious win for HBK. The true spotlight on the pay-per-view, however was rightfully made main event; The Undertaker facing Kane. Great show overall, but I feel while the show had good flow; you have too much uppercard talent to showcase. And this was a downside, as outside of the first two or three matches, there was mainly main showcase feuds. Lack of a midcard on pay-per-view can't be good for the future, but looking forward to King of the Ring's bracket anyways.
