July 7, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossThe Bottom LineRaw kicks off with the music of Steve Austin as he makes his way to the ring with a stern look on his face.Austin: I’m not gonna waste anyone’s time. Last week, Brian Pillman stuck his nose where it didn’t belong, which was in my business. And on top of that, he left me in a pool of my own blood in the middle of the ring. That’s something that doesn’t sit too well with me! So what I want is for Brian Pillman to bring his ass down here to this ring, face to face, and if he wants a piece of Steve Austin he can come and get it. After a few tense moments, Brian Pillman appears, but not in the ring but rather on the video screen in the arena.Pillman: Steve, Steve, Steve. Clearly you have underestimated me. In fact, you’ve underestimated me for years. You underestimated me when we were tag team partners all those years ago. You must have underestimated me when I told you I would make your life a living hell, because if you hadn’t, you wouldn’t seem so surprised about what I did to you last week. And you underestimated me again tonight to think I would be dumb enough to bust your head open, and then walk down the aisle into a firestorm that is a pissed off Steve Austin. No, I know you too well, Steve. I know what you’re capable of. The problem is that you don’t understand the same thing about me. You are the one who doesn’t know what I’m capable of! Last week was a tip of the iceberg. Now I apologize that I couldn’t be there in person tonight to further discuss our differences, but if you would like, Steve, I have a place where we could do so. In just a few weeks there is a pay-per-view called Armageddon. You want me so bad, Steve? You can meet me there, in the middle of the ring, one on one, and we can go to Hell and back together. What do you say? Austin: If you’re asking me for a match, you dont have to try too hard to get me to accept. But you listen to me, and you listen good. I don’t believe in much, but if theres one thing I do believe in it’s an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You left me down and bleeding, that’s fine and good. But mark my words, there will be hell to pay, and the next time I see you, I guarantee I am going to hurt you. And whatever is left of you after that, you can drag it to Armageddon and I’ll beat it from pillar to post just for fun! And that’s the bottom line, because Steve Austin said so! Austin throws down the mic as Pillman begins to laugh on the video screen. The rivalry between these two is heating up quickly.(82%) Steve Austin lost overness from this segment.Prime TimeWe go to the interview area where Todd Pettengill is with Prime Time Enterprises.Todd: I’m here with the Intercontinental Champion, D’Lo Brown, as well as Mark Henry and The Rock, and D’Lo, apparently you have a challenge to lay down tonight? D’Lo: That’s right, the challenge of all challenges. You see, the competition for a premier athlete like myself and my Intercontinental Championship has been lackluster at best. It is a travesty that the WWF allowed its Intercontinental Champion to go without a match last month at King of the Ring, and as it stands today, there is no contender for this month at Armageddon. The WWF had better recognize and realize that D’Lo Brown is their premier attraction! All I’m saying is, help me help you, people. So what I’ve decided to do is take it upon myself to find a challenger. So tonight we will have the first ever Prime Time Invitational. A match open to any and all comers who would like to get a shot at Primetime himself and this Intercontinental title. So if you think you’ve got what it takes, come on down to the Prime Time Invitational, and take your shot to get down with the brown. See you chumps later tonight. (70%)Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Shane HelmsAs the match began, the announcers made note that, due to his two wins over the current Lightweight Champion Sean Waltman the past two weeks, Mysterio would receive a Lightweight title shot at Armageddon. Mysterio continued his roll he has been on as of late with an entertaining match with Helms. Helms held a bit of a power advantage, but in the end, Rey came off the top rope from the apron and caught a dazed Helms with a flying hurricanrana for the win. As Mysterio had his hand raised, Sean Waltman suddenly appeared in the ring and blasted Rey in the back of the head with the Lightweight title! Mysterio was out cold on the mat as Waltman peered over him with a smug look on his face before raising the title over his head to boos from the crowd. (84%)My TimeWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Jeff Jarrett, and I would like to get your explanation for attacking Mr. Perfect last week on Raw. Jarrett: Mr. Perfect is just the latest example of what my movement is aimed at getting rid of here in the WWF, and that’s washed up has-beens who refuse to mozy on off into the sunset and allow the younger generation to take their place. So if they wont take a back seat gracefully, I’ll put them in their back physically and permanently. Todd: So you’re calling Mr. Perfect a has-been, but didn’t he beat you in the semi finals at King of the Ring? Jarrett glares at Todd following his comment and then blasts him with a right hand! Jarrett walks off while Todd lies on the floor holding his jaw.(81%)Chris Benoit and the Hardy Boyz defeated Owen Hart and the New Age OutlawsSix man tag team action in this one. As you might expect, soon the ring became inadequate to contain all the action. Benoit and Owen brawled on the floor, with Benoit firing knife edge chops to Owen’s chest all the way up the aisle, where the continued their battle. Inside the ring, Billy Gunn and Matt Hardy were tied up on the apron as Jeff Hardy and Jesse James locked up inside. James went to send Hardy into the ropes, but Jeff reversed it and James collided with Gunn and Matt Hardy, sending them to the floor. Taking advantage of the collision, Jeff took James over into a bridging pinning predicament and got the three! The rookie Hardys have won this match for their team by pinning one half of the tag team champions! James couldn’t believe it as Matt and Jeff celebrated in the aisle. (77%)Monsoon UpdateWe go to the announcers’ desk to get an update on WWF President Gorilla Monsoon. According to Vince McMahon, due to his injuries sustained last week, Monsoon has effectively stepped down as WWF President. A new president will be named in the coming weeks. In addition, due to his actions, Vader has been suspended indefinitely! (78%)Scott Hall defeated British BulldogBulldog apparently asked for this rematch from last week despite it being reported he was suffering concussion-like symptoms. Bulldog didn’t display any ill effects early on, taking the fight right to Hall and overwhelming him for most of the match. Hall’s distress brought Kevin Nash out to ringside, who tried to encourage his Kliq mate. The turning point of the match came when Hall had the referee distracted in the corner and Nash jumped to the apron and blasted Bulldog with a lariat to the back of the head. Whether it was the force of the blow, the apparent concussion, or both, Bulldog fell to the mat seemingly unconscious. This allowed Hall to move in, and after connecting with a few signature moves, delivered the Razor’s Edge and picked up the win. After the match, Nash entered the ring and the Kliq looked to inflict more damage to Davey Boy. Hall held Bulldog on the mat by the legs while Nash delivered a big leg drop to the back of Bulldog’s head. As concerned fans looked on, Nash prepared to drop a second leg, but suddenly Ahmed Johnson ran to the ring, clearing it of Nash and Hall! Ahmed checked on Davey Boy as Nash and Hall backed up the aisle. (86%)Game OnHunter Hearst-Helmsley stomps out to the ring with a chair in hand, demanding a mic.HHH: Is this what you want, Cactus? Here I am! No more games, Cactus. Playing games with me will be the worst decision you’ve ever made. I am the game! So here I am, Cactus, right here in the ring. No sneak attacks, no blindsides. If you want me, come and get me. Hunter slams the chair on the canvas, imploring Cactus to come out. Cactus Jack appears in the aisle, a bit of a smile on his face. Hunter again tells Cactus to face him, and Jack obliges and sprints towards the ring! Jack rolls in the ring and Hunter attempts to hit him with the chair, but Cactus ducks and starts to pepper Hunter with right hands. Helmsley counters with a knee to the gut and tries to set Cactus up for a Pedigree, but Jack back drops Hunter to the mat. Cactus grabs the chair from off the canvas and smashes it into Hunter’s back, sending him through the ropes and out to the floor. Cactus stands in the ring with the chair as Hunter back tracks up the aisle holding his lower back. This definitely didn’t go the way Hunter had envisioned.(86%) Cactus Jack gained overness from this segment.Sycho Sid wins the Prime Time InvitationalD’Lo and his Prime Time entourage took a seat at ringside to watch this invitational, which served as a gauntlet match open to any wrestler who wanted to take up the challenge and last until the end. The match started with Marc Mero and Brian Christopher, with Mero getting the pin and advancing. Mero would continue to move on and build momentum with decisions over Savio Vega and Jerry Lawler, but was eventually eliminated by Crush after Lawler, upset at his own elimination, interfered. It appeared Crush would win the PTI and an IC title shot when familiar music hit the arena and Crush looked to the entrance to see Sycho Sid! Sid walked to the ring, along with Marlena, and entered to an immediate attack from Crush. Crush hammered away, but Sid soon turned the tide, and in an impressive display, delivered a choke slam to Crush and then finished him off with the Powerbomb to pin him for the three! No more challengers stood to take their chances against the Sycho One, and Sid was declared the winner. Sid posed in the ring as D’Lo and his cronies quickly exited ringside, none too excited at having to face a motivated and rejuvenated Sid at Armageddon. (75%)UndertakenShawn Michaels and the Kliq make their way to the ring.HBK: Did I tell you or did I tell you. I told the world last week that the Heartbreak Kid fears no man, including the Undertaker. In fact, the Undertaker should be the one who should be worried about stepping into the ring with me. And though I was speaking the truth, you would think that a man with the reputation of the Undertaker might take a bit of offense to those types of remarks. So what does the Phenom of the WWF do in response? He cues up some thunder and smoke machines and turns the arena into a high school haunted house. The Undertaker doesn’t even have the guts to show his face ever since he became the number one contender, and it’s probably best that he didn’t. Because the Undertaker knows, like I know, and the rest of the world knows, that the Undertaker cannot beat me. And once I beat the Deadman at Armageddon, he wont want to show his face in the WWF ever again. Suddenly the lights in the arena begin to flicker, and a gong is sounded as smoke begins to fill the aisle. Michaels directs Hall and Nash out into the aisleway, anticipating a possible Undertaker appearance. The lights then totally cut out, but when they come back on, there is no Undertaker.HBK: C’mon Undertaker! You’re gonna have to do better than that. If you wanna wait until Armageddon, that’s fine with me. But please, stop with the parlor tricks. As Michaels continues to rant, we notice movement on the mat behind Michaels as a gloved hand bursts through the mat! The Undertaker then rises from under the ring behind Michaels! The crowd roars as Michaels continues to rant, not noticing the Undertaker behind him. Nash and Hall try to get Michaels’s attention to look behind him. Michaels stops talking and slowly begins to turn around and is caught by the throat by the Undertaker! Taker looks Michaels in the eye before lifting him up and driving him to the mat with a choke slam! Raw comes to a close with Undertaker standing over Michaels and making a slow belt motion around his waist.(89%)

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 7th July 1997...Alright, unfortunately not quite kept up with this in recent weeks, but let's keep up from here on out. Good opening promo with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, and it seems as though Austin and Pillman's combination of a tag team is nearing the end. A great bout, but interested in how Pillman gets over. I definitely cannot see Austin losing this feud. Nice segment with the WWF Intercontinental Champion, D-Lo Brown. I am intrigued with the Prime Time Invitational; as well as your concept with In Your House: Armageddon. I like how you name In Your House events with future pay-per-view names. Rey Mysterio Jr and Shane Helms would have an amazing match; good win for Rey. I expect a good feud with Sean Waltman over the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. Chris Benoit and the Hardy Boyz beating Owen Hart and the New Age Outlaws is alright...the sudden upbringing of Jeff and Matt Hardy however I am not so sure about. A good bout however, surprising upset over the WWF Tag Team Champions, but definitely can't see the Hardy Boyz beating New Age Outlaws for the belts at all. Gorilla Monsoon dropping out of being WWF President, that's a shocker. Glad you went for Vader being a monster and being the one to take him out. Solid first-hour main event with Scott Hall overcoming British Bulldog in what was a great bout. Pretty enjoyable if you ask me, I remember them having a match in WCW. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley angry about Cactus Jack...perhaps the rivalry ends at SummerSlam. Sycho Sid winning the Prime Time Invitational is good; nice win for Sid and he should have an interesting opposition against D-Lo and his Entourage. Shawn Michaels and the Kliq's promo was great. I wish you could refer to the Kliq as D-Generation X at some point however. Perhaps it would lead to something great. Awesome promo with HBK and The Kliq about The Undertaker. And great close to a good show.

-Candido beating Funaki was a decent way to kick off Superstars. -Headbangers beating Kidman and O'Grady was expected. -Henry beating Droese was the right call obviously. -Chris Benoit, King of the Ring beating Kama was a good call. -I like the push you're giving Ahmed Johnson. Johnson over Crush is a fine call.

The storyline between Steve Austin and Brian Pillman is amazing and it becoming the highlight of this diary. I also love how you are relying on the mystery of the Undertaker character as he feuds with Shawn Michaels. I hope this leads to a Hell in the Cell match.

July 14, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossMatt Hardy defeats Billy Gunn w/Jesse JamesOur announce team mentioned that, heated about the loss last week, the New Age Outlaws agreed that if Hardy could beat Gunn one on one tonight they would give them a tag team title shot at Armageddon this Sunday. Gunn controlled the majority of the match, fending off a few offensive flurries and dominating Hardy. Gunn had Hardy in the corner, and after some gloating and showing off between he and James, charged in for a splash but Hardy moved out of the way. It appeared that Gunn hit his head on the top of the ring post, and as he walked out of the buckle dazed, Hardy connected with a modified face buster he calls the “Twist of Fate.” 1..2..3! Matt Hardy has earned a tag title shot for he and his brother. James couldn’t believe what happened as he checked on Gunn in the ring while Jeff joined Matt in the aisle in celebration. (74%) Matt Hardy gained overness from this match.Let Me Handle ThisWe go to the locker room area and see Ahmed Johnson preparing for tonight when British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith walks in.Bulldog: Ahmed- Ahmed: Whats up man? Bulldog: Look, I appreciate what you did last week, coming out and helping me out against Hall and Nash. Ahmed: No problem man. I mean everyone has heard about your head injury, and I know you’re trying to fight through it but- Bulldog: Hold on, hold on. While I appreciate what you did last week, the fact is I’m fine. My head is fine, I’m fine, and I can handle myself out there. I know we have a six man tag match at Armageddon, but tonight we both have one on one matches, and I would appreciate if you stayed out of my business tonight. I won’t interfere in your match, and you don’t interfere in mine. Ahmed: Look man, all I’m saying is I got your back. I respect what you’re saying, but sometimes you gotta check yourself and make sure you’re not letting toughness take the place of brains. Know what I’m saying? Bulldog: Thanks for the advice, but I don’t need your help. I’m not hurt, I’m not injured, and I can do it on my own. OK? Ahmed: OK man. Bulldog leaves the locker room as Ahmed looks on after him.(79%)Sean Waltman defeated Super CrazyThis was a non-title match. Crazy always puts on an entertaining match, as he did here, but in the end, missing a moonsault attempt cost him. After crashing to the mat, Waltman quickly moved in with the Buzz Kill and picked up the win. As Waltman collected his title, Rey Mysterio hit the ring, attacking Waltman. Waltman bailed out of the ring, leaving behind his title belt in the ring. Mysterio picked up the title and held it over his head as Waltman seethed in the aisle. Could this be an omen for Armegeddon? (80%)Perfect Challenges JarrettWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Mr. Perfect, and I would like to get your thoughts on Jeff Jarrett’s remarks here last week. Perfect: You know, Jeff Jarrett is a detriment to his own cause. He’s a fine young wrestler, but instead of working his way up the ladder the right way, he’s more inclined to attack people from behind with a weapon and then whine and complain about not getting any respect. Jarrett, to get respect you have to earn it. Now as far as calling me a has-been? You must not know who you’re talking about. I am Mr. Perfect! I’m a three time Intercontinental Champion. I have more wrestling ability in my pinky than you do in your entire body. And if my memory serves me right, which it does, the last time you and I got in the ring together at King of the Ring, I pinned your shoulder to the mat. Now if you wanna try your luck one more time Jarrett, you can meet me like a man in the ring at Armageddon. Jeff Jarrett then enters the picture, confronting Perfect.Jarrett: Like a man, huh? I am a man. I am the man! Perfect: Is that right? Jarrett: That’s right. And I’ve got no problem putting you out to pasture at Armageddon. Perfect: I cant wait to see you try. Jarrett walks off, and Perfect turns back to continue his interview, but is suddenly hit from behind by a returning Jarrett! Jarrett lays a few boots into Perfect on the floor.Jarrett: See you on Sunday! (83%)Kevin Nash defeated British BulldogAs alluded to earlier, our commentators hype a six man tag team match at Armageddon between Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson, and Cactus Jack against Nash, Hall, and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley. This was a competitive match that went back and forth. Nash tried to dictate the tempo, but Bulldog powered himself back into it. Bulldog did take a hard shot to the back of the head in the match, and Nash smashed his head into the turnbuckle, playing off his apparent head injuries the past few weeks. Bulldog was able to regroup and battle back, but at one point in the match Bulldog tried to go to the top rope, an uncommon move for him. As he got to the top, he appeared to lose his balance, perhaps due to equilibrium problems, and fell to the mat. As he tried to collect himself, Nash moved in with a boot to the gut and then planted Davey Boy with the Jacknife and got the three. As Nash posed in the ring, Ahmed Johnson appeared at the top of the aisle, looking a bit frustrated and concerned for Bulldog lying in the ring, though he kept his word not to interfere in the match. (83%)Proving HimselfWe go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with the King of the Ring, Chris Benoit, who will go one on one with Owen Hart this Sunday at Armageddon. Benoit: For weeks Owen Hart has been harping that I am a Hart wannabe. No doubt I have a lot of respect for the Hart family. I trained with the Harts and have looked up to them for years. They are the reason I got into wrestling. But the fact of the matter is that I am my own man. When you talk about Owen Hart, we both may have won the King of the Ring tournament, but that is where the similarities end. I don’t claim to be better than the Hart family, but one thing I do know is that I am better than Owen Hart! And this Sunday at Armageddon, if Owen Hart has a problem with that, he can take his best shot to prove me wrong! (73%)Ahmed Johnson defeated Hunter Hearst-Helmsley by DQThese two have a history together, and the crowd was ready to see them go at it one more time. The match was very competitive and went back and forth throughout. As Ahmed began to build momentum and looked to take the final advantage with a Pearl River Plunge, Scott Hall suddenly hit the ring and attacked Ahmed from behind, causing the referee to call for the bell. Hall and Helmsley double teamed Ahmed on the mat before Cactus Jack came down the aisle wielding a steel chair! Jack slid in the ring, swinging the chair wildly, but both Hunter and Hall bailed from the ring before being hit. Cactus held the two at bay with the chair as Ahmed regrouped, and then Cactus and Ahmed locked eyes in an uncertain stare. How will these two, along with British Bulldog, work as a team at Armageddon? (87%)Steve Austin defeated CrushAustin was back in the ring after his steel cage match two weeks ago. Crush is always a formidable opponent, as he was here, but in the end Austin was able to avoid a Full Nelson Bomb and begin to start taking the fight right to Crush. Austin set Crush up and connected with the Stunner to pick up the win. (83%)Pillman HurtAs Austin had his hand raised in the ring, suddenly Brian Pillman appeared, again from out of the crowd, and slid into the ring and ambushed Austin from behind. Pillman started to hit Austin with right hands, but Austin soon fought back and took control of the brawl, peppering Pillman with right hands and then connecting with a Stunner! The fight may have ended there, but Austin got in Pillman’s face with some trash talk and then went to the floor and grabbed a steel chair. Austin got in the ring, but instead of hitting Pillman with the chair, he placed Pillman’s ankle inside it. With Pillman’s ankle wedged in the chair, Austin went to the middle rope, gave Pillman the finger, and then jumped down on top of the chair! Pillman screamed in pain, reaching at his ankle. Austin talked some more smack in Pillman’s face as medical staff rushed to the ring, getting the chair off Pillman’s ankle and backing Austin up. Austin walked off down the aisle to surprising cheers. Austin told Pillman last week that the next time he saw him he was going to hurt him, and it appears he has kept his word. (87%) Brian Pillman gained overness from this segment.The Master is BackWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Sycho Sid, along with Malrlena, who will get an Intercontinental title shot against D’Lo Brown this Sunday at Armageddon. I want to get your thoughts on this title match, and if you could, explain your budding relationship with Marlena. Marlena: Todd, don’t be so presumptive. Our relationship is a mutual, businesslike one. Sid has all the power and brawn a girl could ask for. All he needs is a focus and a direction in which to take his rage. And that is where I come in. Under my direction, the WWF will see a fire lit inside of Sid they’ve never seen before. My desires, for him and myself, are now his focus. And last week, when I told Sid that I desired the Intercontinental Championship, he took care of business. Sid: Last week, when D’Lo Brown opened up his Prime Time Invitational to any individual willing, I can assure you the last person he expected to see was me! But you see, when you put blood in the water, you have to expect that the sharks will come. And you what you have in front of you this Sunday, D’Lo Brown, is a great white. You will face the master and the ruler of the world, and when the smoke has cleared, there will be a new Intercontinental Champion (80%)Face to FaceThe lights go out in the arena and the gong of the Undertaker is heard as the Phenom makes his way to the ring.Undertaker: This Sunday, it will truly be Armageddon for one Shawn Michaels. Michaels is unwise to tempt the power and the force of the darkness, and to underestimate the power of the Undertaker. Not only has Shawn Michaels disrespected that power, but he has also has something that I covet. If there is one thing, besides the creatures of the night, that feuls the spirit of the Undertaker, it is the WWF Championship. This Sunday will be the first meeting between the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, but it will also be the last! Now, Shawn Michaels, the past few weeks you have requested a face to face meeting with me. Well right now, there is no smoke, no mind games, just the Deadman waiting to reap your soul. If you want me, Shawn Michaels, here I am. The music of HBK hits the arena and the WWF Championb slowly makes his way to the ring, surprisingly answering the Undertaker’s challenge.HBK: Undertaker, I said it before and I’ll say it again, you do not scare me. I have made a living of proving people wrong, and this Sunday at Armageddon, I’m going to prove them all wrong again when I take you down. Undertaker: Your bravery is admirable, yet foolhardy. This Sunday, both your soul and your WWF Championship will be mine. Sunday, you will rest in p- Michaels hits Taker with Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere! Taker is flat on his back after taking the kick. Michaels stands over the Undertaker, posing with a wide grin on his face, when Taker suddenly raises up and grabs Michaels by the throat! Taker gets to his feet, with Michaels in his grasp, and makes a throat slashing gesture. Undertaker begins to pick Michaels up for a Tombstone when Nash and Hall hit the ring, ambushing the Deadman. Michaels quickly bails out of the ring as Nash and Hall beat on the Undertaker, but Taker begins to fight back and starts to hold both men at bay. Undertaker gives Nash a big boot that sends him over the top rope and to the floor and then catches Hall by the throat and plants him with a choke slam! Taker stares down HBK and Nash in the aisle before going to one knee and striking his signature pose. Raw comes to a close with the ring engulfed in purple light as Taker’s music hits while Michaels looks concerned in the aisle, clutching his WWF Title. (87%)

-Hardy beating Gunn should help his career as it is just beginning. -Waltman beating Crazy is predictable good call. -Nash beating Bulldog was expected as Bulldog was still a bit injured. -Ahmed/HHH sounds awesome. I'd love to see them have another feud. Could happen because of the DQ feud. -HBK/Taker this Sunday is awesome! I love it. -Great show. Loving where things are going. Just really can't wait for HBK/Taker

July 20, 1997 Commentators: Vince McMahon and Jim RossSean Waltman defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. to RETAIN the Lightweight ChampionshipLightweight action kicked the PPV off. Waltman began the match with a deliberate pace, trying to ground the high flying Mysterio, but the action soon picked up and we saw some of those familiar lucha libre maneuvers from Mysterio, but only got a series of near falls. Mysterio went to the apron, looking to put the match away with a hurricanrana, but as Rey jumped off the top rope, Waltman was able to counter by grabbing him out of mid air and planted him to the mat with the Buzz Kill! 1..2..3! Waltman retains the title in this competitive opening contest. (85%) The Lightweight title gained in imageMr. Perfect defeated Jeff JarrettJarrett’s emotions got the best of him early on as he tried to attack Perfect at the bell, but the veteran dodged his ambush and controlled the match early on. Jarrett tried to get on track, but was constantly countered, infuriating him. Jarrett resorted to a dangerously low kick to turn the momentum of the match. Jarrett worked over the legs of Perfect, which proved to be a useful strategy. Perfect attempted the Perfect Plex, but couldn’t get enough lift from his legs to execute it, allowing Jarrett to escape the hold and take him to the mat with a double leg takedown. Jarrett went for the figure four leg lock, but as he spun around Perfect’s leg, Perfect caught him quickly with a small package for the 1..2..3! Jarrett looked shocked with the sudden pinfall as Perfect had his hand raised. Enraged, Jarrett attacked Perfect from behind with a clip to the back of his knee. Perfect crumbled to the mat as Jarrett began to put his boots to Perfect’s knee. Jarrett then wrapped Perfect in the figure four, putting pressure on the knee, and refused to release the hold despite demands from the referee. After a few more moments, Jarrett finally released the hold to boos from the crowd. Jarrett posed as he walked up the aisle while Perfect lay in the ring clutching his knee. (82%)Owen Hart defeated Chris BenoitA great wrestling match here, as both men are sound technically and have been building a heated rivalry. The pace of the match went back and forth between grounded mat wrestling and flurries of quick offense and near falls. Owen went for the Sharpshooter, but Benoit powered out of it, kicking Owen into the turnbuckle. As Owen stumbled back out, Benoit locked in the Crossface! Owen tried to wriggle free as Benoit applied more pressure. Benoit cinched in the hold for a few more moments before Owen finally was able to reach the bottom rope, forcing Benoit to release the hold. The referee separated the two men, but Benoit looked to continue the action, Owen grabbed the ref complaining about and clutching his shoulder. The referee held off Benoit as he checked on Owen, asking if he could continue. Owen appeared to have suffered a shoulder injury during the Crossface, telling the referee he was hurt with an anguished look on his face. The referee asked Owen if he wanted to forfeit, but Benoit was tired of waiting and approached Owen, but was suddenly caught in a roll up from Owen! With a handful of tights, Owen pinned Benoit for the three count and then quickly bailed out of the ring! Owen posed in the aisle with both arms raised as Benoit was steaming in the ring. Owen Hart, as underhanded as it was, has outsmarted Benoit here tonight. (89%)New Age Outlaws defeated The Hardy Boyz to RETAIN the Tag Team ChampionshipThe Hardyz had earned this match by getting two wins in a row over the champs in various matches on RAW. The brothers were pumped for the match and took it to the Outlaws early on. Control of the match went back and forth, but the sense of a title change was in the air. The Hardys began to build momentum, and Matt delivered a neck breaker to Gunn in the ring before tagging in Jeff. Jeff went to the top rope, perhaps looking for the Swanton Bomb, but as he tried to steady himself, James ran around the apron and shoved Jeff off the turnbuckle, and Jeff landed sternum first onto the guard rail at ringside. Matt then began to brawl with James on the outside as Jeff looked hurt. The referee began his ten count, and at the count of nine Jeff willed himself off the ground and rolled into the ring, breaking the count and getting a nice applause from the crowd. However, clearly hurt from the fall on the guard rail, Jeff was easy pickings for Gunn to deliver a Rocker Dropper and pin the youngster to retain the titles for the Outlaws. (71%) This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.Steve Austin vs Brian PillanAfter Austin was introduced to a raucous ovation, Pillman was announced to the ring, but made his entrance in street clothes and hobbling on crutches. Pillman then asked for a mic.Pillman: Tonight was supposed to be a monumental night. A few weeks ago I challenged you, Steve, like the man that I am, eye to eye, to a match here tonight. However, you took it upon yourself this past Monday to take the coward’s way out and attack me and my ankle with a steel chair. And despite rigorous treatment throughout the week, unfortunately, due to the injury to my ankle, I am unable to compete tonight. So thanks to your cowardly actions, Steve, you have not only robbed these people of a clash of the titans, but you have robbed me of the opportunity to administer the beating that you so rightfully deserve. However, I can assure you, Steve, that my injury will heal and sooner or later this issue between you and I will be resolved. Now as far as tonight is concerned, as disappointed as I am that I cannot compete tonight, don’t think that you’re going to get the night off, Steve, because I’ve found someone to take my place. A man who, like me, has had the responsibility of watching your back in the past, and like me, felt slighted and disrespected by your selfish and unappreciative actions against he and your former associates. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Steve Austin’s opponent tonight, Albert! The big man Albert walked down the aisle with a smirk as he passed Pillman while the announce team recounted how Albert was once a stable mate of Austin’s while in the Million Dollar Corporation until Austin severed his relationship with Ted Dibiase, courtesy of a Stunner. Albert may be looking for retribution after Austin physically eliminated his former manager.Steve Austin defeated AlbertAustin attacked Albert right at the bell, peppering him with right hands, but Albert’s power soon put him in control of the match. Albert stayed on top of Austin and got a few near falls with power moves, but Austin battled back. Austin set up for the Stunner, but Albert shoved him away. Albert then grasped Austin around the neck for the Baldo Bomb, but Austin countered with a kick to the gut and then connected with the Stunner to surprise the big man with the three count. Pillman, who had stayed to watch the match, looked upset in the aisle as Austin had his hand raised. A few words were exchanged between the two and Austin exited the ring and came after Pillman. Pillman admonished Austin not to attack him, using his injury as reason, but Austin laid a right hand into Pillman anyway! Austin took Pillman to the ground and started to pepper him with rights, but then was attacked from behind by Albert. Albert took Austin and threw him into the guard rail in the aisle before taking his exit to the locker room. With Austin dazed on the ground, Pillman hobbled up to his feet on his crutches, but then a smirk appeared across his face as he threw one crutch to the ground and grabbed the other with both hands and cracked it across Austin’s back! Pillman laid a second strike with the crutch to Austin’s back, bending the crutch in half. With Austin on the ground, Pillman put all his weight on his “injured” ankle and shrugged his shoulders, mouthing to the crowd “I feel better.” It doesn’t appear that Pillman’s ankle was injured at all, and he has left Austin down in the aisleway. (84%)Sycho Sid w/Marlena defeated D’Lo Brown by DQ; D’Lo RETAINS the Intercontinental ChampionshipD’Lo seemed a bit hesitant to get in the ring with Sid, and rightfully so, as Sid dominated the action early on. D’Lo tried to build some steam and get on track, but most of his offense was countered by Sid’s power and came close to losing the IC title on various occasions. A well placed thumb to the eye turned the tide in D’Lo’s favor, and a flying leg lariat put Sid to the mat. D’Lo then decided to go to the top rope, but as he jumped off, Sid caught him by the throat and chokeslammed him to the mat. It appeared elementary as Sid set D’Lo up for the Powerbomb when he was suddenly ambushed from behind by Mark Henry and The Rock running to the ring. The referee called for the bell and a disqualification as Henry and Rock double teamed Sid while D’Lo collected his title from the time keeper and headed up the aisle. In the ring, Sid began to fight back against the Prime Time Enterprises members, delivering a big boot to the face of the Rock. Sid then rocked the mammoth Henry with a few right hands, staggering him back, before depositing him to the floor with a clothesline. Sid stood tall in the ring and was awarded the victory, but D’Lo retained his title. (76%)Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hunter Hearst-Helmsley defeated British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson, and Cactus JackThe big question mark coming into the match was the actual physical condition of British Bulldog, and the opposing team made note of that and kept Bulldog away from his corner for most of the match. Hall, Nash, and Hunter made quick tags and successfully cut the ring in half. With Hall and Bulldog in the ring, a double clothesline took both men down and had them reaching for their corner. Hall tagged in Nash, and after taking quite a beating, Davey Boy finally made a hot tag to Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed took down Nash, and then blasted Hall off the apron. Helmsley tried to interject himself, but was cut off by Cactus Jack. Jack and Hunter began to brawl all around ringside and eventually took their slugfest all the way up the aisleway. In the ring, Ahmed connected with a spine buster to Nash and began to build momentum. Ahmed set Nash up for the Pearl River Plunge, but Bulldog made a blind tag into the match. Ahmed looked perplexed by this, but Bulldog motioned him out of the ring, wanting to end the match himself. Davey Boy lifted Nash up for the Powerslam, but collapsed under Nash’s weight before he could deliver the move and fell hard on the back of his head. Nash took the opportunity to take the groggy Bulldog and plant him with a Jacknife. Nash made the cover, and without any resistance from Ahmed on the apron, got the three count. Nash and Hall posed in the ring while Johnson left the ring area with a confused and upset look on his face. (84%)Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker NO CONTESTThis was the first ever one on one encounter between these two, and they didn’t disappoint. Michaels, to his credit, held his own after initially trying to duck and dodge Taker, but Taker controlled the pace with his bruising style, pounding Michaels all over the ring. Undertaker connected with a choke slam, but after the last moment Michaels got his foot on the bottom rope, breaking the count. Taker set up for the Tombstone, but Michaels slipped out of his grasp and landed Sweet Chin Music! 1..2..Undertaker kicks out! Both men were physically spent when Hall and Nash came down to ringside. Hall jumped on the apron, distracting the referee, while Nash ran to the time keeper’s table and grabbed the WWF title belt and slid it into the ring to Michaels. HBK and Taker slowly gathered themselves to their feet, and with the ref still distracted by Hall, Michaels blasted Undertaker in the face with the belt! Michaels then tossed the belt to the outside. The referee gathered Hall and Nash and ejected them from ringside, forcing them to the back lest the cause Michaels to be DQed. The Kliq left ringside, but the damage had been done. Michaels draped an arm over the Undertaker’s chest as the ref slid into position. 1..2..the lights in the arena go out! After a few confusing moments, an explosion of fire sets off in the entranceway and eerily familiar music hits. It’s Cain! Cain has returned! Cain lumbered towards the ring while both Michaels and Undertaker staggered to their feet, Undertaker using the ropes for help. Cain stepped into the ring, coming face to face with Undertaker. Taker and Cain stared at each other for a few moments before the inevitable as the two monsters began to exchange blows. Taker went for a clothesline, but Cain ducked and delivered a boot to the face, taking Taker down. The Undertaker, after all he’d been through so far, valiantly sat up, but Cain took him by the throat, pulling him up from the mat, and delivered a choke slam. With Taker down on the canvas, Michaels walked over and stood over his body, talking trash. Suddenly, Cain grabbed Michaels by the throat! Cain lifted the WWF Champion and planted him to the mat with a choke slam as well! What is going on? Cain looked around at the carnage he had caused, with Taker down on one side of him and Michaels down on the other, before raising his arms and then thrusting them downward as fire shoots from each turnbuckle! The show comes to an auspicious close as Cain has returned and left chaos in his wake. (85%)

-Solid open to the show. Thought that Mysterio had it but happy that Waltman retained since it seemed a bit early. -Perfect over Jarrett is a good call. I like Perfect slightly better so it's a good call. -Classic between Hart and Benoit. Figured that Benoit would lose since he's already KOTR. -Really wanted to see a shocker and see Hardys pull it off. But NAO is a more expirienced team. -Stone Cold over Albert was the right call. -Sid over D'Lo was the right call as well. Don't see D'Lo winning it but if he does, it should be decent. -Hall, Nash, and Hearst over Johnson, Jack, and Bulldog was good. Johnson did great. Hope to see a Johnson/HHH feud. -Yes! I love Kane's interference! HBK's reign was so saved as it looked like all Taker. -Great PPV; should set up some awesome feuds too.

WWF In Your House: Armageddon; Sunday 20th July 1997...Alright, solid starting match to open up Armageddon as it would be a great bout; good win for Sean Waltman and I honestly thought you would have had the audacity to put the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship on Rey Mysterio Jr already. Way too soon for him, if I'm honest. Loved how Waltman almost lost the belt though. Great match, I love the lightweight division, but could do a lot more with good storylines as well as good matches, to be honest. Mr Perfect and Jeff Jarrett's match I wish was more up the card, honestly. Good match though, was quite interesting and I liked the description of how the knee was worked over in the match. Owen Hart and Chris Benoit; definitely a match worth putting later on in the show. Owen with the win was nice and I love how dirty the finish was. The New Age Outlaws and The Hardy Boyz match was alright, but did absolutely little for either team. Easy win for Billy Gunn and Road Dogg in my mind; too big a push for Jeff and Matt too soon. Successful and forgettable WWF Tag Team Championship defense. Stone Cold Steve Austin having to face Albert was weird, but I like how Brian Pillman was hurt. It will be interesting to see if you follow real life's events and kill him off, or keep him around. The backstory with the Million Dollar Corporation mention was genius I must say. Sycho Sid and D-Lo Brown lacked hype in my mind; should have switched this match in the ordering with either Owen/Benoit or Jarrett/Perfect. Alright match, but the disqualification finish shows this feud isn't so over. Sid doesn't need the WWF Intercontinental Championship, but would look pathetic if he lost here. Solid six-man tag battle probably setting up for matches into SummerSlam; good win for the Kliq against British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson and Cactus Jack. To seperate from Shawn Michaels, I would have put this match nearer the opening of the show. Awesome main event with Shawn and Undertaker; can't wait to see them again at SummerSlam as I guarantee that will happen then as well. It will probably end in Hell in a Cell too; all good. A solid show, my only complaints are the ordering of the matches, as well as the fact you have too many stars in the main event and too little room. These pay-per-views are overclustered at times.

*Last Sunday, IYH: Armageddon went head to head with WCW's Bash at the Beach, and officials were happy to report that the WWF PPV sold more buys and generated more revenue than WCW. *Officials also seem pleased with the "Monday Night War." Though WCW Nitro has pulled higher ratings in a close contest, RAW consistently pulls higher attendance and higher ticket sales. *Headbanger Mosh has told people backstage he has found religion. *Expect Sean Morely and/or Andrew Martin to be the next wrestlers called up from development. Many ideas are being tossed around for the two, including bringing them in as a team. Martin is also being considered for a "bodyguard" role to a current superstar. *NYCW has signed Koko B. Ware and Bad News Brown to contracts.

I love that Shawn Michaels versus the Undertaker went to a no contest as it allows the feud to really develop more - I really hope they still meet in the Hell in a Cell later in the year. I was really happy to see the Kliq win their match and they could really be a dominant stable in you let them. I like the way D’Lo was able to retain his title without Sid looking weak. I was extremely disappointed with Albert being the replacement for Austin; however, I do love the way you are selling Pillman's injuries. I was rather surprised to see Owen Hart defeat Chris Benoit, but I like the decision. These two men could put on a godly feud.

I love the fact that your pay per views are loaded. They are big events, so they should really be stacked. The first thing I noticed was that you are pushing the Hardy Boyz in 1997. Which to me is really too early to start doing. I know they would get somewhat of a push in 1999, but in 1997 they were really nowhere near that level of wrestling ability or size for that matter to be pushed onto a PPV.
Pillman not being able to wrestle is fine, as it drags this out to Summer Slam I would assume. I have always been a Albert fan so having him actually get the chance to wrestle Austin was cool to see.
Enjoyed the main event as well. A good way to bring Cain back and can see them finishing their feud at Summer Slam as well. Summer Slam is shaping up to be one hell of a card.
Good show man.

July 21, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixNew PresidentRAW opens with commentator Jim Ross in the ring with a microphone.Ross: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. A couple weeks ago, former WWF President Gorilla Monsoon was forced to step down from his position. Since then a committee was formed to search for and decide upon a new president of the World Wrestling Federation. That choice has now been made. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new President of the WWF…Vince McMahon. (84%)President McMahonVince McMahon, Ross’ commentary partner for Raw, makes his way to the ring, shakes Ross’ hand, and takes the mic.Vince: Thank you, Jim, for that introduction. As many of you might know, I have worked here in the WWF for many years. Twelve years to be exact. What many of you may not know is that my father, Vince McMahon, senior, founded and started what we now know as the World Wrestling Federation. I worked for my father, saw him create his vision of what he wanted a wrestling promotion to be, and now, after years of hard work, I am honored to have earned this opportunity to become WWF President and carry on the tradition and the vision that my father began. And as president, I will conduct myself with one thing in mind, and that is you, the WWF fans! Now having said that, there is a bit of business I must address tonight. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the reason that I stand here today as WWF President, and that is because our former president, Gorilla Monsoon, was attacked and injured by the man they call Vader. Vader was subsequently suspended until further notice. Tonight, I am announcing that as of next Monday, Vader’s suspension is lifted. Now some of you may find that questionable, but you see I think that suspending Vader for his actions is giving him the easy way out. The fact is that Vader is still under a WWF contract, and therefore he is going to earn his money. In three weeks, Vader will be involved in a match at SummerSlam. In addition, I am demanding that Vader appear at Raw next Monday night, because I want him to meet his opponent at SummerSlam eye to eye. Next week, Vader must confront this man… The music then hits of Bret Hart! The crowd comes to its feet as the Hitman returns to Raw and walks down the aisle. Hart enters the ring, shakes the hand of McMahon, and poses for the crowd. In his first action as new president, Vince McMahon has made a match for SummerSlam between Vader and the man he put out of action three months ago, Bret Hart.(76%)The Hardy Boyz defeated New Age Outlaws by DQThis was a non-title match. The Hardys put up a good effort, just as they did last night at Armageddon, but they seemed a bit worse for wear and the Outlaws took full advantage. After Matt was taken out on the apron but a forearm from James, both James and Gunn cornered Jeff in the turnbuckle and double teamed him. The referee tried to regain order, but Gunn simply shoved him out of the way as the Outlaws continued to pound on Jeff. The referee called for the bell due to Gunn’s shove, but it did little to deter the champions. As they continued to double team Jeff in the ring, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, the other two members of Project Omega, stormed to the ring to help their stable mates. With the help of Matt Hardy, Cage and Copeland cleared the ring of the Outalws and then checked on Jeff as Gunn and James walked back up the aisle with the tag titles in hand and smiles on their faces. (76%) Matt Hardy gained overness from this match. Jeff Hardy gained overness from this match.Giving a Bad NameWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with King of the Ring, Chris Benoit, who suffered a disappointing loss last night at Armageddon. Benoit: The only person who should be disappointed is Owen Hart. He should be disappointed in himself. I might not be a Hart, but I know that the way Owen won that match last night is not the way he was raised. The Hart family instills honor and respect for the sport of wrestling, and Owen Hart displayed none of that last night. His actions give the Harts a bad name, and I have too much respect for the Hart family to let that stand. The issues between us have quickly become personal. And sooner or later, Owen, you will get what you deserve…a severe beating! (83%)Steve Austin defeated Jerry “The King” LawlerThe crowd was anxious to see Austin beat up The King. In the middle of the match, Brian Pillman hobbled down to the ring, still on crutches. Lawler went to throw Austin into the far side ropes near Pillman, where he prepared to use one of his crutches as a weapon, but Austin reversed it and Pillman inadvertently hit Lawler in the back with it! Austin then delivered a boot to the gut and the Stunner on Lawler to pick up the win. Austin then turned his attention to Pillman. After a few words were exchanged, Austin began to leave the ring to go after Pillman. Pillman tried to quickly hop away on his crutches and so-called injured ankle, but Austin caught up to him in the aisle and took him down with a forearm to the back of the head! Austin began to stomp away on Pillman on the floor and was about to use a crutch on Pillman when a group of officials raced to the site and separated the two men. Pillman slid away on his butt through the curtain to the backstage area while the group of officials tried to control Austin. (84%)Blood FeudOur cameras quickly go to the backstage area where something has broken out. As the camera focuses, we see Hunter Hearst-Helmsley pounding away with vicious punches on the head of Cactus Jack, who was slumped to his knees on the floor. It appears the two had been engaged in a brawl or perhaps a backstage attack from Hunter. Jack was busted open and bleeding from the forehead as Helmsley finally relinquished his onslaught and Cactus slumped to the floor. “How’s that for you” Hunter asked as he walked off, leaving Cactus down and bleeding. (80%)Mr. Perfect defeated Brian ChristopherPerfect had his left knee taped due to the punishment it took during his match at Armageddon, and Christopher tried to exploit it. The youngster put on a good showing, but Perfect was able to take advantage of his opportunities. After Christopher missed a top rope leg drop, Perfect took him over in the Perfect Plex to pick up the win. As Perfect had his hand raised, Jeff Jarrett suddenly hit the ring and attacked Perfect from behind. Jarrett grabbed Perfect by the leg and locked in the Figure Four! Perfect slapped the mat in pain as Jarrett cinched in the hold, grabbing hold of the ropes for added leverage. The referee tried to make Jarrett break the hold, but to no avail. After a few more excruciating moments, Jarrett finally released the hold. Jarrett posed and strutted in the ring as Perfect clutched his knee and the referee tried to help him out of the ring. (82%)Not HappyWe now go to the backstage area where Todd Pettengill has caught up with Ahmed Johnson.Todd: Ahmed, if you could, can you give us some thoughts on your match last night and the condition of the British Bulldog? Ahmed: My thoughts are that I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed not only that we lost the match, but the way we lost it. We had the momentum, I had the match under control, and Davey Boy made a bad call. I know he’s got some unfinished business with the Kliq, but he’s not the only one. I’ve tried to help the Bulldog out and have his back, but it seems to me he doesn’t want that. Now if you ask me, he’s needed to get that head of his checked out for weeks. I don’t think he’s a hundred percent physically or mentally. And to be honest with you, I hope that the reason Davey has been so stubborn and selfish the past few weeks is because of a head injury, because if not, he’s got some explaining to do. (79%)The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Kevin Nash w/Scott HallA star studded main event to close the show tonight. The match went back and forth between these two big men, with Nash unable to put the Phenom away. As Taker began to battle back, Hall tried to intervene in the match but was quickly dropped to the floor by an uppercut from Undertaker. Nash tried an ambush from behind, but Taker saw it coming and caught Nash by the throat and planted him with an impressive choke slam. Undertaker signaled for the Tombstone when Shawn Michaels came to the ring with his WWF title belt. Michaels jumped to the apron and looked to be loading up to hit Taker with the title, just as he did last night at Armageddon, but Taker grabbed him by the throat, almost popping HBK’s eyes out of his sockets! However, Michaels broke free of Taker’s grasp and swung with the belt, but Taker side stepped the blow and Michael’s inadvertently connected to the head of a stumbling Nash! The Undertaker gave Michaels a boot to the face that sent him flying to the floor before delivering a huge leg drop across Nash’s throat and pinned him for the three. (82%)From HellAs the bell rang, the Kliq soon swarmed into the ring, attacking Undertaker. Hall and Michaels, and then soon Nash as well, pummeled Taker with a three on one attack. Suddenly, an explosion of fire bursts in the entrance and down to the ring walks Cain! Cain steps over the top rope into the ring and is met by Hall, but he disposes of him with a right hand. Nash is next, but he is met with a boot to the face. Michaels is left alone in the ring as Cain approaches. Michaels attempts to take the monster down with a cross body block, but Cain catches him in mid air before positioning him on his shoulder and then driving him to the canvas with the Tombstone! Cain looks around him and then picks up the WWF title belt, looking at it almost quizzically. The Undertaker then sits up in the ring! Raw comes to a close with Cain, holding the WWF title, and the Undertaker in a tense stare down, both standing over the body of Shawn Michaels. (91%) Cain gained overness from this segment.

-Good promo to kick off the show. Vader/Hart at SummerSlam is exciting. -Hardys over NAO is a good call since they lost at the PPV. -Steve Austin over Lawler is nice since it was like payback. -Perfect over Christopher is good since Perfect was awesome back then. Maybe my favorite wrestler back then. -Undertaker over Nash is good since Taker lost at the PPV. -Good show; SS looks good already.

WWF RAW is WAR: Monday 21st July 1997...Decent opening promo from Jim Ross, however for the announce team, I think you need to introduce Jerry Lawler to the commentary position, as well as Michael Cole perhaps. I like Dok Hendrix but his voice eventually got on my nerves. Vince McMahon as President seemed likely as he wasn't on commentary, but good to see you're finally being realistic and wise and revealing for the first time his ownership. Bret Hart and Vader for SummerSlam sounds good, but hoping it gets slightly violent from an Attitude Era-style perspective. Eurgh, not fond of how The Hardy Boyz are going to continue the feud with The New Age Outlaws. Unless you plan to give them the WWF Tag Team Championships, a feud extension would be meaningless if the Outlaws won again. It would just hurt Jeff and Matt who you are trying to build up. Give them a different storyline to go with. Chris Benoit's segment was decent, and I liked how he ran down Owen Hart in a respectful manner. Stone Cold Steve Austin beating Jerry Lawler is good, would have been fun to watch and Brian Pillman's interference is fine. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley and Cactus Jack's rivalry needs to end at SummerSlam. Good win for Mr Perfect and a decent opportunity for Brian Christopher. Christopher has got connection with Jeff Jarrett; hopefully it isn't the end of Christopher's chance. Perfect and Jarrett's feud continuing is fine. Ahmed Johnson and British Bulldog's feud will hopefully end next week or at some point prior to SummerSlam: there is too many matches that occured at In Your House: Armageddon that are being reused to be promoted for SummerSlam which I dislike. The Undertaker and Kevin Nash was a decent main event, with the attack from The Kliq as predicted. But wow, Kane returns? Great move. A good show as a whole.
