July 28, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixChampion Needs ProtectionRaw kicks off with the music of Shawn Michaels and the WWF Champion making his way to the ring.HBK: Can somebody please explain to me what the hell is going on around here? It seems to me that everyone needs to remember who I am. I am the show stopper, I am the main event, and I am the WWF Champion, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels! And it seems people have forgotten that. I have carried the WWF on my back for years, and how do I get repaid? First I get the Undertaker hot on my tail, and then on top of that I’ve got a big red freak named Cain popping up anywhere and everywhere coming after me, coming after the Undertaker, and no one knows what’s going on and I’m caught in the middle of it. It would seem to me that it would be in the best interest of the WWF to protect its assets, and trust me when I tell you there is no bigger asset you have than Shawn Michaels. The WWF, and perhaps more importantly the new president Vince McMahon, needs to address this situation and it needs to be addressed now. (90%)Triple ThreatThe new president of the WWF, Vince McMahon then makes his way down to the ring.Vince: Shawn, I think you make some valid points. As I said last week, I plan to be a president that not only listens to the fans and has their interests at heart, but a president that can also take matters into his own hands when necessary. And I do believe it is in the best interest of the fans and the WWF to protect its champion. And you’re right, the past few weeks have been a bit uneasy, especially when it comes to the WWF Championship. We’ve got the Undertaker wanting another title shot, then Cain returns and wreaks havoc on anyone and everyone, for all we know Cain and the Undertaker might even be working together. I will admit the past few weeks have been a bit chaotic. HBK: These are all things I already know, “boss.” What I want to know is what you’re going to do about it. Vince: Here is what I’m going to do. You see, all these questions that I, and quite frankly the fans, have deserve to be answered. We’re going to find out who’s side the Undertaker is on. We’re going to find out who’s side Cain is on. And we’re going to find out just what kind of champion Shawn Michaels is. At SummerSlam, in the main event, you, Shawn Michaels, will defend the WWF Championship against the Undertaker…and Cain, in a triple threat match! Michaels is livid in the ring and complains to McMahon incessantly as the crowd roars its approval of the decision reached by our new president.(80%)Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defeated The Hardy BoyzIt was noted by our announce team that the winner of this match would get a tag team title shot at SummerSlam, though it put the members of Project Omega against each other. The feeling out process soon subsided and the match became very competitive and stiff. The New Age Outlaws appeared at ringside, taking in the action. As Cage and Jeff Hardy brawled on the outside, Billy Gunn jumped up to the apron and distracted the referee. With the diversion in place, James slid in the ring and blasted Matt Hardy in the back of the head with a tag team title belt! Copeland apparently didn’t see the interference, and took advantage by pinning Matt for the three and earning a title shot for he and Cage. The Outlaws backed up the aisle as Cage and Copeland had their hands raised. Why would the Outlaws get involved in this match, and only attack the Hardys after having a run in with Cage and Copeland last week? (77%)Heated WordsWe go to the locker room area and see Ahmed Johnson standing near his locker when suddenly the British Bulldog bursts through the door and confronts him.Bulldog: Ahmed! Who do you think you are, huh? Where do you get off saying what you said about me last week? Ahmed: Yo, it is what it is. You and I both know you didn’t have your best stuff at Armageddon. All I was trying to do was help you out. Bulldog: Who asked you for your help? Because I sure didn’t. I don’t need your help. Ahmed: Is that so? It sure looked like you needed help when you kept getting your ass handed to you by the Kliq. Bulldog: Really? Well I’ve got news for you, I’m back to a hundred percent health, and if you think I need your help, why don’t we go out to that ring and I’ll prove to you just how much I don’t need it by beating you from pillar to post. Ahmed: If that’s the way you want it, you’re on. (82%)Owen Hart defeated “Wildman” Marc Mero w/SableA back and forth match up here. Both men scored near falls during the course of the match and delivered their share of offense. In the end, Mero went for a Merosault off the top rope, but Owen sidestepped and Mero landed hard on the mat. As Mero tried to gather himself back to his feet, Hart bounced off the ropes and connected nicely with a spin wheel kick to the head and picked up the win. (80%) Marc Mero is losing overness because of his weak gimmick.ChallengeAs Owen celebrates in the ring, Chris Benoit’s music hits and he makes his way out to the aisle.Benoit: Owen, I’m out here for one reason. This issue between us has to come to an end. I want one more match with you at SummerSlam. Owen: Benoit, isn’t it about time you give it up? You want to be like me so bad that time after time you face me in the ring, and time after time I beat you. You’re never going to be Owen Hart! I’ve already beaten you over and over, Benoit, and there’s nothing left for me to prove by doing it again. Benoit: So what you’re saying is that Owen Hart is a coward? Owen: A coward? I’m not a coward! I’m not afraid of you. I’m not afraid of anything! If you want another match with me, Benoit, you got it. I have no problem beating you again one more time. In fact, just to give you a fighting chance, I’ll face you in any kind of match you want. Benoit: It’s funny you say that, Owen, because I actually had a match in mind. At SummerSlam, it wont be a regular match. It will be a submission match! (80%)Run the GauntletWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Intercontinental Champion D’Lo Brown, who retained his title at Armageddon against Sycho Sid thanks to a disqualification. But D’Lo, many people think that Sid deserves a rematch. D’Lo: A rematch? Lets get one thing straight. When you get the opportunity to get in the ring with the Intercontinental Champion and have your name on the marquee with Primetime, you have to take advantage of it brotha. Sid had his chance, and he blew it. But don’t feel bad! You’re not the first, and you certainly wont be the last. Sid doesn’t make the rules around here, I do. So here’s what I’m going to do. You know that D’Lo Brown wouldn’t miss the biggest party of the summer, SummerSlam. So Sycho Sid, if you want another shot at D’Lo Brown, you’re gonna have to get through the entire Prime Time Enterprises posse first. At SummerSlam, Sid will face my man Money Mark Henry. And if, and it’s a big if, Sid can beat Mark Henry, he will face The Rock. And then, if by some miracle he beats Rock, then and only then can he have a shot at me and the Intercontinental Title. And if it even gets to that point, after I squash the Psycho One with the Lo Down, you better recognize that Primetime and the PTE will party the rest of the night away. So Sid, if you want another shot, that’s the deal. Take it or leave it. (70%)Ahmed Johnson drew British BulldogThis match never really got going. Johnson and Bulldog met nose to nose and began mouthing off to each other and exchanged a few shoves. Ahmed threw the first punch and the two began to trade right hands when suddenly Scott Hall and Kevin Nash hit the ring! The Kliq members pounced on both Ahmed and Bulldog, ambushing them from behind. Bulldog was thrown to the floor, leaving Ahmed to be double teamed and planted to the mat with a Jacknife from Nash! Hall asked for a mic from ringside. “See you boys at SummerSlam.” (77%)No Holds BarredThe music of Bret Hart hits the arena and the Hitman makes his way out to the ring with a stern look on his face.Bret: I’ll keep this real short and simple. A few months ago I was put on the shelf with an injury I sustained at the hands of Vader. As I began to rehab and heal up, the only thing I thought about was returning to the ring and getting my hands on him. Then while I’m gone, Vader gets suspended for attacking Gorilla Monsoon, a personal friend of mine. So when I was cleared to come back, I went to the new president of the WWF, Vince McMahon, and I asked him for one thing. To reinstate Vader so that I could give a little payback for myself and for Gorilla Monsoon. The rest, as they say, is history. At SummerSlam, I’m going to get my chance to do just that. Vader, I know you’re here tonight, and I want you to bring yourself out here and face me man to man. After a few moments, “Vader Time” hit and the Mastodon made his return appearance into the arena, looking as fierce as ever, and lumbered down to the ring.Vader: Hitman, the first mistake you made was walking out of that hospital after I put you there. Your second mistake was asking for the WWF to reinstate me. And your third mistake was asking for this match at SummerSlam. What I did to Gorilla Monsoon was just the tip of the iceberg. You just signed off on your own execution, because at SummerSlam, I’m going to put you out of commission for good. Bret: Take your best shot. Hitman then unloads with right hands to Vader’s face. Bret and Vader trade blows, with Vader eventually getting the best of the exchange and giving Bret a body avalanche that bounces Hart through the ropes and to the floor. Vader poses in the ring to boos from the crowd, but Hart eventually climbs back in the ring, this time carrying a steel chair. Hart moved in and cracked the chair over Vader’s back! Vader turned around slowly, holding his lower back, and is met with a second shot, this time to the face that sends him tumbling through the ropes and to the floor. Vader backs up the aisle as Hart stands in the ring with the chair and grabs a mic.Bret: Hey Vader! Theres on more thing I didn’t mention. You better get used to feeling one of these, because our match at SummerSlam is no holds barred! (79%) Bret Hart lost overness from this segment.From the DepthsWe now go to a dark area where we see the Undertaker standing by, along with Paul Bearer.Bearer: Undertaker, it seemed that the WWF Championship was so closely in our grasp, until Cain appeared in our business again. But now at SummerSlam, we can kill two birds with one stone. Undertaker: At SummerSlam, the bell will toll for two wayward souls. Shawn Michaels, you have only been able to put off the inevitable. In time, both your soul and the WWF Championship will belong to me. And Cain, in due time you will be cast back into the fiery depths from which you came. There is no force in this world that can keep me from my destiny, and that is to once again become WWF Champion, cast Cain out of the WWF for good, and reign with the creatures of the night. At SummerSlam, both Cain, and you Shawn Michaels, will rest in peace. (80%)Shawn Michaels defeated Cactus JackTwo very contrasting styles coming together here, but made for a very entertaining match. Cactus pummeled HBK early on, punishing him with stiff shots and takedowns. Michaels used his quickness advantage to offset Jack, scoring a number of near falls. Michaels attempted an irish whip into the corner, but Jack reversed it and pulled Michaels back t the near side corner, causing him to collide with the referee! Jack then connected with a double arm DDT and covered the champion, but there was no ref to make the count. With the referee down and unable to count, Jack decided to take the opportunity to dish out more punishment, rolling to the outside and throwing a steel chair into the ring. Cactus waited for Michaels to get back to his feet with the chair in hand, but suddenly Hunter Hearst-Helmsley ran down to the ring. Hunter turned Jack around and kicked him in the gut, causing him to drop the chair. Hunter picked it up himself and cracked it across Jack’s head! Helmsley then planted Jack with the Pedigree before rolling to the outside. The referee began to stir, as did Michaels. After a few moments Cactus also began to move and pulled himself up by the ropes back to his feet, but was swiftly hit with Sweet Chin Music by Michaels and pinned for the three. As the bell rang, Hunter got back into the ring, looking to continue his assault on Jack. However, before it could resume, fire erupted in the entrance way and down walked Cain! Cain lumbered to the ring with both Hunter and Michaels standing in the ring. Cain walked over the top rope, and as he entered the ring Michaels shoved Helmsley in front of him right into Cain’s grasp! Cain lifted Hunter up and planted him with a choke slam as Michaels scurried out of the ring and up the aisle. Our camera then pans to the top of the aisleway and there stands Jake Roberts! Is Roberts, Cain’s former handler, behind his recent rampage? Raw comes to a close with Cain standing in the ring staring at Michaels in the aisle, and a smile on the face of Roberts. (86%)

-can't believe this diary is still around to be honest i'm about 12 pages behind and i wish i had time to catch up. nevertheless, i'll do my best to reply. -the opening promo was gret. it did a decent job of recapping the feud briefly so i knew what was going on before setting up the main event for the next ppv which is always solid booking in my mind. -the opening match seems solid. i remember the hardys back on tv in 98 (christian too come to think of it), but not so much in 97 (outside of squashes that is). nevertheless, good choice for an opener and an interesting situation unfolding with the new age outlaws. -no idea the background on the ahmed/bulldog story so can't really comment on the promo. -owen hart vs mar mero circa 1997 would have been a pretty good contest so i'm behind that, owen going over is probably the right call. -the post match with benoit setting up the submission match with owen is a potential show stealer for summerslam. -the d'lo promo amused me. i just can't see him and sycho sid in the same ring together having a competitive match though ... call me crazy. -ahmed vs bulldog was a good followup to the segment earlier and sets up more summerslam stuff (a good recurring theme on this raw). same goes for the following vader/bret hart segment -loved the undertaker promo which continues the feudn with cain and hbk, setting up the summerslam main event which has intriguing build around it (and i've only read this show) -great finish to raw. really solid choice for a main event as hbk and foley had a weird chemistry together imo. the post match with hunter being fed to cain works very well and i love roberts as cain's handler. that just reeks of awesomeness. -really good show. total 97 vibe and some fantastic build to summerslam. really enjoyed this sir.

-HBK's promo got the point across was was solid. Taker versus. HBK and Cain in Triple Threat sounds nice. Hope you change his name to Kane. -Copeland and Cage over The Hardys is a good call since Hardys already had shots at it. -Hart over Maro is a good call. The better result by far. -Would've been a good match between Johnson and Bulldog. But it'll be a good match for SummerSlam. -Hart/Vader promo was decent. Good for hyping SummerSlam which is looking very nice right now. -HBK over Jack is a good call since he's champ. Nice post-match. -Good RAW; can't wait for SummerSlam.

*A number of wrestlers' contracts expired at the end of the month. Crush, Savio Vega, Super Crazy, and Flash Funk are now gone from the company. Crush subsequently signed with SWF, Vega with NYCW, and Super Crazy with LATMF. There was interest in re signing Flash, but officials felt he was asking for too much money at this point in time. *Barry Windham was released from his contract and then signed with NYCW. *JC Ice has returned from rehab. He will likely reform PG 13 with Wolfie D. *WWF has signed Lodi to a developmental deal.

-Waltman over Kidman is a nice result either way. I like Kidman a bit more but I'd love a feud between the two. -Cage and Copeland coming to Superstars sounds cool. Hope they get a major push. -Albert over Droese is the right call. -Hakushi over Funaki is fine. Hope you push Funaki though. -Raven over Jannett is a nice call either way there. Hope you put Jannetty a bit higher though. -Good show; looking forward to RAW.

I really hope PG 13 doesn't reunite.
Raven in the WWF is cool, but I hope you use him correctly.

August 4, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixJeff Jarrett and Owen Hart defeated Mr. Perfect and Chris BenoitA solid tag match to open the show with SummerSlam preview implications. Perfect was still a bit hobbled by his bum knee, but was able to keep pace. The action and momentum went back and forth. In the end, Perfect was setting Owen up for the Perfect Plex when Jarrett slid into the ring from the floor and took out Perfect’s exposed knee with a chop block. This allowed Owen to roll Perfect up in a pinning predicament and get the three count. (79%)Up To The TaskWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Sycho Sid, along with Marlena, who will challenge for the Intercontinental Title at Summerslam, but must do so in a Gauntlet Match against D’Lo Brown and his Prime Time Enterprises. Marlena: What D’Lo Brown doesn’t realize is that no number of his associates can match the unbridled aggression of a motivated man. And if the Intercontinental Title isn’t enough for Sid, you can be sure that I can supply my own brand of motivation if I need to. Sid: The matter is simple. What D’Lo Brown sees as an advantage in his favor is only an opportunity for me to inflict more punishment and three victims instead of just one. Tonight will be just a taste of what is in store for him at SummerSlam. So D’Lo Brown, I hope that you’re watching tonight, because at SummerSlam, you will have an up close and personal view of what the master and ruler of the world can do. And when it’s all said and done, the Intercontinental Title will be mine! (78%)Forceful AcceptanceSteve Austin makes his way to the ring, and he looks to be in a usual fowl mood.Austin: The last few weeks, Brian Pillman has been running like a scalded dog trying to stay away from Steve Austin because he knows what kinds of ass beating is coming his way. I was supposed to get a match with him last month, that didn’t happen. I tried to get him to face me like a man, that didn’t happen. So what I want right now is for Brian Pillman to walk, crawl, or hop his ass out here and finally give me what I want, and that’s a match one on one at SummerSlam. After a few moments, Brian Pillman makes his way down the aisle and to the ring, still with the use of crutches and his ankle in a soft boot. Pillman and Austin stand face to face.Pillman: Steve, Steve, Steve. As much as I would love to come to SummerSlam and give you the beating you deserve, the beating you and I both know I’m capable of administering, as you can see I’m still on the injured list. My ankle still isn’t completely healed, all thanks to you, so as much as I would like to accept, I unable to. Austin: Well that’s a damn shame, Brian. It’s a shame that your injured. It’s a shame that, even though you might feel froggy enough to attack my from behind with a crutch, you’re unable to give me a mach. And above all else, it’s a shame that I think you’re full of crap! Austin then kicks away one of Pillman’s crutches, leaving Pillman hobbling on one leg. Pillman tries to beg off, but Austin blasts him with a clothesline! Austin jumps on top of Pillman and peppers him with right hands. Austin slides to the outside of the ring and throws off the top tier and ring steps in the corner. Austin then drags Pillman, who is screaming, to the floor, gives him a few more stomps and kicks, and then drags Pillman by his “bad” ankle and places it on the bottom tier of ring steps. Austin picks up the other tier and holds it above his head, ready to slam it down on Pillman’s ankle while Pillman yells for him to stop. Austin sits the steps down and grabs the mic.Austin: Now I’m only going to say this once. You’ve got two choices. You can either face me at SummerSlam, or I will crush your ankle with these steps over and over until I’m sure that you’ll never walk without crutches again! So what’s it going to be? Pillman is pleading with Austin as he shoves the mic in his face.Pillman: Yes! Yes! I accept. The crowd cheers as Austin gets a bit of a smile on his face. Pillman seems a bit relieved, but then Austin takes his foot and slams it down onto the steps! Pillman is writhing in pain on the floor!Austin: Good choice. (84%)Sycho Sid w/Marlena defeated Wolfie D, Kama, and Henry Godwinn in a Gauntlet MatchWolfie D was first out, and was soon disposed of with a choke slam. Kama was the next combatant, and though he proved to be a bigger threat than Wolfie D, was soon taken out by a choke slam as well. The final man to try his luck was Godwinn. The redneck farmer held his own, but in the end was a recipient of a powerbomb and was pinned for three to end the gauntlet. Sid stood in the ring, along with Marlena, arms raised after a very impressive showing here tonight. Obviously Sid is up to the task of a gauntlet match at SummerSlam against Prime Time Enterprises. (71%)Controlled No MoreJake “The Snake” Roberts makes his way out to the ring in his black suit and asks for a mic.Jake: What a glorious couple of weeks it has been. I few months ago, I was in the depths of the valley, distraught and disappointed at the loss of my creation, Cain, at the hands of the Undertaker. When Cain was placed in that casket I thought I had failed him and lost him forever. But behold, my son has risen! Cain has returned to me and brought hellfire and brimstone upon the WWF in the likes never seen before. He has returned with a burning, destructing rage that I have never even seen before. All he needs is direction. Direction that I can provide. And with that direction we can continue our crusade against the forces of the WWF. So Cain, I ask of you, return to me. Fire erupts in the aisle and Cain makes his way to the ring, Roberts smiling the entire time.Jake: Cain, we have been brought back together for a reason. You are on the cusp of realizing your purpose. In two weeks, your destiny will come at SummerSlam, because you will not only destroy the Undertaker, but you will become the WWF Champion! With my guidance, you can realize your destiny, Cain, and we can control the WWF until we see fit, just like we always talked about. So how about it Cain? Come back to the Ministry, come back to me, the man who made you, and let’s fulfill your purpose together. Trust me. Roberts opens his arms, perhaps looking for an embrace. Cain takes a step towards Roberts and puts a hand on his shoulder. Roberts begins to smile, but Cain suddenly grabs Roberts around the throat with his other hand. Cain lifts Roberts up and plants him with a choke slam! Cain raises his arms and then thrusts them down, calling forth fire from the tops of the turnbuckles. It appears that Cain prefers to walk his road of destruction alone. (80%)Outlaw Alliance?We go to the locker room area and see Adam Copeland and Christian Cage hanging out in their locker room when the New Age Outlaws walk in, and Cage and Copeland stand up.James: Whoa, hold on fellas. We just wanted to come in here and let you all know how much we’re looking forward to facing you guys at SummerSlam for these tag team titles. That’s why last week we made sure we would be facing you two and not the Hardy Boys, because we respect you. Gunn: I mean face it, you two and two of the brightest up and coming stars in the WWF right now. The Hardy Boys are nothing but posers, with their hair all greased down, and who knows from one day to the next what color it’ll even be. You guys should get smart and quit letting them ride on your coattails. It was a shame they got a tag team title match before you did in the first place. James: Yeah, but hey, that’s all forgotten now. At SummerSlam, the world is gonna be talking about the New Age Outlaws and Cage and Copeland tearing the house down. Am I right? Gunn and James both extend their hands to Cage and Copeland, who look at each other and then perhaps reluctantly shake their hands.James: See you at SummerSlam. The Outlaws walk off as Cage and Copeland begin to talk about what had juts happened when Matt and Jeff Hardy storm in the room.Matt: What was that all about, huh? Copeland: What are you talking about? Jeff: So did you four set us up last week? Cage: C’mon, don’t be ridiculous. All four men start to yell over the top of one another and it looks like the two teams might even come to blows as they are all nose to nose when the camera pans away.(72%) Christian Cage and Adam Copeland both gained overness from this segment.Bret Hart defeated Scott TaylorThis was the Hitman’s first match since returning from injury, and he didn’t look like he had much ring rust at all. The Hitman still looked like the Excellence of Execution as he dismantled Taylor methodically. Hart caught Taylor coming off the top rope with a drop kick attempt, grabbing his legs, and turning him over into the Sharpshooter to pick up the submission victory. As Hart celebrated on the turnbuckle, suddenly Vader hit the ring and slammed Hart to the mat off of the middle rope. Vader began to pound on Hart on the mat. Hitman tried to fight back, but Vader’s power overwhelmed him. Vader avalanched Hart in the corner, causing him to drift to the floor holding his ribs, perhaps signs that the Hitman is not one hundred percent. Vader then went to the middle rope and connected with the Vader Bomb! Vader posed in the ring to boos with Hart curled up on the mat. (85%)Caged AnimalsWe go to what looks to be the bowels of the arena and see Cactus Jack standing by.Cactus: It appears that my run ins with Hunter Hearst- Helmsley have started to have the desired effect. I’ve started to see that fire in your eye, Hunter, that rage from the pit of your stomach that you didn’t even know you had. But I’m still not satisfied. I haven’t seen quite enough. This is my play time, Hunter, and I’m having just too much fun to quit now! So let’s see if we can take you to the next level, Hunter. They say that there’s nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal, and judging by the large lump on the back of my head, I would say that is what you have on your hands, Hunter. And when you put two rabid animals together, only one can walk away. So let’s see what happens, Hunter, when you’re put into the situation of fighting for your life! Because at SummerSlam, these two animals, Hunter and I, will be locked inside a steel cage like the animals we are! There can only be one winner, but I guarantee neither one of us will be walking out of that cage, and Hunter, if you’re only left with a permanent limp for the rest of your life, you should consider yourself lucky! At SummerSlam, as in nature, it will be survival of the fittest. Bang bang! (79%)The Undertaker, Ahmed Johnson, and British Bulldog defeated The Kliq by DQA star studded main event to this week’s Raw. Ahmed and Bulldog controlled the match early for their team, but soon the Kliq turned the tide and cut Bulldog off from his corner. The match went back and forth until a hot tag as made to the Undertaker, who began to clean house of all three members of the Kliq. Taker was clearly gunning for Michaels, and it looked like he might get him to himself after Ahmed and Bulldog cut Nash and Hall off from the ring and brawled with them to the backstage area. During the melee, Michaels snuck to the outside and grabbed a chair. He then slid into the ring and cracked the chair over Taker’s back, causing the referee to call for the bell. The official tried to get HBK to drop the weapon, but Michaels simply shoved him out of the way. As Taker staggered to his feet, Michaels connected with a big shot to his head! Taker slumped to the canvas as Michaels gloated, but amazingly began to get back to his feet. HBK began to size Taker up for a second shot when… (86%)Reaching OutFire erupts from the entranceway and out walks Cain! Cain lumbers to the ring and steps over the top rope. Immediately Michaels charges with the chair, but Cain catches him with a boot to the face. Cain then snatches HBK by the throat and plants him with a choke slam! Cain turns his head to Undertaker, who was staggering back to his feet, and after a brief lock of eyes turned and left the ring. Cain walked back up the aisle as Taker looked quizzically at Michaels laid out in the middle of the ring and then up at Cain. Cain turned around as he reached the top of the aisle, staring at Taker, and then extended out his hand towards Taker in a gesture similar to the Undertaker’s trademark pose. Is this Cain’s way of calling for a truce or partnership? The Undertaker stares back at the red monster as Raw comes to an auspicious close. (94%) Cain gained overness from this segment.

Jarrett and Hart over Perfect and Benoit is great either way. I love the team of Benoit and Perfect. -Oh god yes! I want more of that Pillman/Austin feud. SummerSlam looks awesome right now. -Sid winning was the best call considering he's a bigger star than them. -Good hype for the Copeland and Christian/ Hardys feud as well as the Cain/Undertaker feud. Hope that Kane and Hardys win respectively. -Hart winning his return match was expected. -Undertaker, Dog, and Johnson over The Kliq is great to end the show. -Great show; can't wait for SummerSlam.

August 11, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixSean Waltman defeated Hakushi to RETAIN the Lightweight ChampionshipA Lightweight title match kicks things off tonight. Waltman and Hakushi are no strangers to each other, and put on a very entertaining match. Hakushi nearly won the title on a few occasions, but Waltman was able to kick out. In the end, Hakushi misplayed a plancha from the top rope and caught a spinning kick to his face. Waltman then connected with the Buzz Kill to retain the title. (85%) The Lightweight title gained in imageReady To GoWe cut to the locker room area and see British Bulldog getting ready. In walks Ahmed Johnson.Ahmed: Davey… Bulldog: Ahmed, before you even say anything. I just want you to know that everything that has happened in the past few weeks, forget about it. We’ve had our disagreements, but come SummerSlam, we are gonna take down the Kliq. Ahmed: I’m glad to hear you say that, man. Bulldog: Good. Because I tell ya something, I’m one hundred percent, and tonight I’m going to finally get this monkey off my back and take down Kevin Nash. And then we’ll have all the momentum going into this Sunday. Ahmed: Sounds like a plan. I’ll see you out there. (70%) Ahmed Johnson lost overness from this segment.Sycho Sid w/Marlena defeated “Money” Mark HenrySid will potentially meet all three members of PTE at SummerSlam, but tonight it was Henry one on one. Both men exchanged powerful blows and neither seemed to be easily rocked or moved. Sid was able to finally take the big man off his feet with a big boot and was building momentum when D’Lo Brown and The Rock appeared at ringside. Brown and Rock jumped on the apron to distract Sid when Sid grabbed Brown by the throat! Rock tried to make the save, but was deposited to the floor with a right hand, though allowing Brown to escape Sid’s grasp. Henry tried to capitalize from behind, but Sid quickly turned around and caught Henry by the throat and delivered an impressive choke slam to the near four hundred pounder! Sid pinned Henry and got the three count. Sid stood tall in the ring as Brown and Rock back tracked up the aisle with Brown pointing to his IC title and talking smack, though Sid is obviously built a good deal of momentum heading into SummerSlam. Will we see a new Intercontinental Champion? (73%)Bring on the CageWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, and I wanted to get your thoughts on this Sunday at SummerSlam when you face Cactus Jack inside a fifteen foot high steel cage. HHH: Cactus Jack is his own worst enemy. He made it his own personal crusade to bring the animal out in me. To try to take me out of what he perceived to be my comfort zone and put me in positions I’ve never had to face before. Street fights, no holds barred matches, I’ve been through it all. And now he wants to put me in a cage? He wants to see the animal in me? Well I have news for Cactus Jack, provoking me will be the worst decision of your life! You want a caged animal, Cactus? You’ve got one. I’ve already done things that you, and the rest of the WWF, might have thought I was incapable of doing. But at SummerSlam, I might do things even I didn’t think I was capable of! And Cactus Jack will have brought it all on himself. You wanna play games, Cactus? I am the Game! And when you try to play with the game, Hunter Hearst-Helmlsey, the result is always the same. You lose. (94%)British Bulldog defeated Kevin NashA good back and forth match with both men putting their power on display. Nash paced most of the match, trying to wear Davey Boy down. A turning point in the match came when Nash attempted a big boot with Bulldog in the corner, but Smith moved and Nash ended up crotched on the turnbuckle. Bulldog then started to gain momentum, running Nash over with a series of clotheslines. Scott Hall suddenly ran down to ringside, jumping on the apron. Hall tried to distract Bulldog, but as Nash tried to ambush him from behind, Bulldog side stepped him and threw him into Hall, causing them to crack heads. Ahmed Johnson now sprints to ringside and begins to brawl with Hall, keeping him incapacitated as Bulldog lifted a groggy Nash and planted him with the Running Powerslam. 1..2..3! Bulldog had his hand raised by the referee, obviously energized by finally getting the monkey off his back and getting a one on one victory over the Kliq. (83%) British Bulldog gained overness from this match.RespectThe New Age Outlaws come out to the ring. Jesse James grabs a mic and asks for Cage and Copeland to come out and join them. After a few moments, the Project Omega members make their way out to the ring as well and face the champions.James: Now guys, its just six days away from the biggest night of your lives. At SummerSlam, you step in the ring with the tag team champions of the world! What a night it will be. But the one thing we don’t like to do is stir up trouble. And it seems that last week we might have stirred up a bit of trouble between you and the Hardy Boys. Gunn: Cage and Copeland, you know how much we respect you. But it seems to us that the Hardys don’t share that same respect. So what we want to offer to you is an alliance. No matter what happens at SummerSlam, when its all over, you guys can have a spot alongside Jesse James and I and be associated with people who respect you for who you are. Forget about the Hardy Boys. What have they ever accomplished? Come take a stand and take a place behind the tag team champions, watch our backs, and your careers will take off like you’ve never imagined. James: What do you say? Cage and Copeland ponder this offer as James and Gunn extend their hands. After a few moments, Cage and Copeland accept and shake the Outlaws’ hands! All four men are smiling and shaking hands when suddenly Jeff and Matt Hardy appear from out of the crowd and slid in the ring behind the Outlaws. Cage and Copeland’s smiles soon fade to stern stares. James and Gunn’s smiles then fade as well as they slowly turn around to see themselves surrounded. Cage and Copeland each kick the Outlaws in the gut and then all four members of Project Omega pounce on the champions! James and Gunn are overwhelmed as Copeland delivers in Implant DDT to James while Cage drops Gunn with a reverse DDT! The Outlaws roll out of the ring and limp back up the aisle as Project Omega stand united in the ring. It appears the Outlaws’ plans to cause a divide between the two teams have failed and Cage and Copeland head into SummerSlam with their stable mates full support.(75%)You Will TapWe go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with Chris Benoit, who this Sunday at SummerSlam will see his issues with Owen Hart come to a head in a submission match. Benoit: You know, Owen, one thing I’ve learned about you is that you really like to run your mouth. You like the sound of your own voice. So when you told me I could pick any kind of match I wanted at SummerSlam, I knew immediately what kind of match I wanted, and that was a submission match. The question is why? Why a submission match? Well Owen, I have a question for you. Have you seen the way I apply the Crossface? At SummerSlam, when I clasp my hands around your face, you wont be able to say the words “I quit.” You wont be able to say anything at all. The only way you’ll escape is to tap the mat and tap out for all the world to see. At SummerSlam, I will shut you up permanently! (75%)Vader defeated Steve AustinThe first of our double main events tonight. Vader had the power advantage, but both men also displayed a good deal of brawling back and forth. Austin stood up well to the Mastadon, but was rocked by a body avalanche and a belly to belly suplex. Vader set Austin up for a powerbomb, but as he did Austin, perhaps intentionally, threw the ref to the mat. With the official down temporarily, Austin slid to his knees and nailed Vader with a low blow! Austin then connected with the Stunner, but there was no ref to count the pin. Brian Pillman appeared at ringside, carrying a crutch. Pillman caught Austin’s attention from the floor, and with his back turned, Vader shoved Austin from behind right into a shot to the head from Pillman’s crutch! Austin stumbled back and fell to the mat. Vader took the opportunity to drag him to the corner and connected with the Vader Bomb! The referee crawled into position and counted the three, giving Vader the win. Vader posed in the ring until Bret Hart ran out to the ring with a steel chair! Hart slid into the ring, but Vader bailed before the Hitman could inflict any damage. Hart stared at Vader, clutching the chair, as the Mastodon backtracked up the aisle. (86%) Vader gained overness from this match.France’s Greatest ExportWe see a video package hyping the soon to debut team of Douglas Furnas and Phillipe Lafon. They are billed as pure athletes and “France’s Greatest Export” to the US. The video ends with the tag line “Next Week.” (69%) Douglas Furnas gained overness from this segment.The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Scott HallA solid main event here. Hall tried to stay arms length from Taker most of the match, sticking and moving and connecting with offense when he could take the opportunity. Taker soon began to take over, dominating Hall as he looked to put the match away. Shawn Michaels appeared in the aisle and tried to distract Taker as he had Hall by the throat, but instead of falling for the ploy, Taker made a cut throat gesture towards Michaels before planting Hall to the mat with a choke slam. The Phenom then put Hall away with the Tombstone for the three. Michaels inched towards the ring as Undertaker dared him to enter. Suddenly, Kevin Nash appeared from out of the crowd and slid in the ring, attacking Taker from behind. Taker and Nash traded right hands until Michaels took his opportunity to join the fray, hitting Taker in the face with the WWF Title belt! Michaels, Nash, and a now recovered Hall joined in a three on one beatdown. (88%)Fire and BrimstoneAn explosion sounds from the entrance way and Cain makes his way out! Cain steps over the top rope and immediately comes after the Kliq. Hall is first to eat a boot to the face, followed by Nash taking a few upper cuts before being clotheslined from the ring. Cain turned around and was caught with Sweet Chin Music from Michaels! Michaels gloated in the ring to the crowd as Cain sat up behind him. Michaels went for a second SCM, but Cain caught him by the boot before grabbing him by the throat and delivering a choke slam! With all three members of the Kliq down, Cain lumbered back up the aisle as Undertaker was making his way back to his feet. Similar to last week, as Cain got to the top of the aisle, he slowly turned around, facing Taker, and extended his hand. Undertaker stared back for a few moments, before dropping to one knee and striking his signature pose! Raw came to an eerie close with Jim Ross proclaiming, “Cain apparently extending his hand in some sort of bond or friendship to the Undertaker, and Undertaker is returning it! What a moment!”(91%)

Summerslam is looking good. Cant wait for the triple threat and especially excited for Hart/Benoit. RAW was very solid. Good Main Event and great ending that i remember taking place in real life as well. Good stuff.

August 17, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixMr. Perfect defeated Jeff JarrettA solid opening contest for the show. Jarrett controlled most of the match, as Perfect’s bum knee seemed to slow him down a bit. At one point in the match, Jarrett locked in the Figure Four and looked to have the win, but Perfect was able to reach the ropes and break the hold after being locked in for a period of time. Jarrett had Perfect in the corner, and after a bit of gloating, charged at him, but Perfect moved out of the way and Jarrett slammed chest first into the buckle. Perfect then locked Jarrett into a crucifix and took him down on his shoulders and got the three count! For the second month in a row Perfect has shocked Jarrett with a quick pin. As Perfect had his hand raised, a furious Jarrett took him out from behind with a chop block to his injured knee. Jarret went to work on the knee as the ref called for the bell to be sounded, but to avail. Jarrett took Perfect over the corner, crotching him around the ring post on his back, before moving to the floor and put on a Figure Four around the ring post! Perfect was yelling in pain as the pressure on his knee had to be unbearable. Jarrett continued to hold the move in as officials and referees rushed to the ring and tried to pry him off of Perfect. After a few more moments, Jarrett finally let loose. Officials escorted Jarrett to the back, who looked on approvingly as refs and a medical team checked on Perfect in the ring. (84%)Hunter Hearst-Helmsley defeated Cactus Jack in a Steel Cage MatchThe only was to win was to escape the cage. This was all the hard hitting brawl we thought it would be. Helmsley seemed to abandon his usual pristine and technical strategy and simply tried to maul Jack. Jack took a few throws into the cage and a hard spine buster, but each time he prevented Hunter from escaping. Jack began to roar back, taking Hunter from one side of the ring to the other, bashing his head into the steel cage. After taking a sling shot straight on into the steel, Hunter was busted open and bleeding from the head. As the match peaked, both men began trading right hands until Hunter kicked Jack in the gut and set him up for a Pedigree, but Jack escaped the move and instead planted Hunter with a double arm DDT! Helmsley looked out for good, face down on the mat, as Cactus began to scale up the cage. However, as he reached the top, he paused for a moment, looking down at Hunter. After a moment of contemplation, instead of escaping the cage, Jack positioned himself on the top and leaped off with a flying elbow drop! Cactus was looking to put Hunter away, perhaps permanently, but Hunter moved out of the way at the last moment and Jack crashed into the canvas instead! What impact that was! Jack was crumpled on the mat as Hunter pulled him to his feet and connected with the Pedigree. With the strength he had left, Hunter inched towards the cage door and then crawled out of the ring, falling to the floor as the bell sounded and awarded him the match. His hand raised, Hunter stumbled to the back, face full of crimson, as Cactus lay motionless in the ring. (88%) Hunter Hearst-Helmsley gained overness from this feud ending. Cactus Jack gained overness from this feud ending.New Age Outlaws defeated Cage and Copeland to RETAIN the Tag Team TitlesCage and Copeland, like their stable mates the Hardys, probably opened some people’s eyes with their competitiveness in this match, as numerous times it looked like we may have new champions. The Outlaws showed why they were the current champs, controlling the match by cutting Cage off from his partner. However, after floating over a back drop attempt and connecting with a reverse DDT, Cage made the hot tag to Copeland. Copeland came in hot, blasting James with a right hand and knocking Gunn off the apron with a dropkick. Copeland hit a number of moves that earned him near falls, but not a three. Gunn rushed in to break up the last pin attempt, which brought in Cage. However, as the ref was trying to get Cage back in his corner, Copeland set James up for an Impaler DDT, but was caught with a running boot to the face from Gunn. James then flipped over as Copeland fell to the mat and the referee turned around in time to count the three. The Outlaws have again escaped with their titles intact. (83%) The Tag Team Titles gained image.Chris Benoit defeated Owen Hart in a Submission MatchPerhaps the second best match of the night, and the best from a pure wrestling standpoint. The two men squared off initially in a battle of technical skill, but soon the emotion began to pour and it the tide turned into a hard hitting fight. Both men connected with signature moves, but were then unsuccessful in locking in a submission. Owen worked over the legs of Benoit with a variety of leg locks, setting up for the Sharpshooter no doubt. Owen attempted a drop kick from the top rope, but Benoit caught him by the legs and applied his own version of the Sharpshooter! Benoit was looking to win with the Harts’ own move, but as he cinched it in, Owen was able to reach the ropes. Benoit continued on the attack and went for a head butt from the top, but Owen moved out of the way. After Benoit crashed and burned, Owen put on the Sharpshooter himself! Owen had Benoit in the middle of the ring, and it looked to be over, but Benoit sucked it up and after a grueling sequence finally inched his way to the bottom rope. Frustrated, Owen drug Benoit back to the middle of the ring and went for the Sharpshooter again, but Benoit wrapped Owen up in what looked to be a small package before floating over and applying the Crossface! The move was cinched in in the middle of the ring, and though Owen struggled to get free, he soon realized he had nowhere to go and was forced to tap out on the map and signal his submission. Benoit had his hand raised as the crowd came to its feet in a standing ovation. (89%) Chris Benoit gained overness from this match and this feud ending. Owen Hart gained overness from this feud ending.Scott Hall and Kevin Nash defeated Ahmed Johnson and British BulldogA solid tag match here with the Kliq against two long running rivals. Your basic tag match for most of the duration. Ahmed controlled the early goings, dominating Hall with power moves, but soon the Kliq cut the ring in half and regained control. Bulldog then tagged in and started to turn the tide. During a scuffle in the ring, Nash reversed an irish whip by Bulldog and sent him into the nearside ropes, causing him to collide with Johnsn who had his back turned on the apron. Ahmed was sent to the floor as Bulldog ate a boot to the face. Nash then began to set Bulldog up for the Jacknife as Ahmed recovered on the outside. It appeared Ahmed had ample opportunity to break up the powerbomb-Nash even hesitated expecting Ahmed to enter the ring-but instead Ahmed simply looked on from the floor as Nash planted Bulldog to the mat with the Jacknife! Nash the covered Davey Boy and got the three. As Hall and Nash had their hands raised, even they were a bit puzzled as Ahmed turned his back and walked back up the aisle, leaving Smith in the ring. (84%)Brian Pillman defeated Steve AustinAfter weeks of build up, this was the first time these two have been in the ring in a match against each other, and it was clear Austin was the aggressor. Pillman was sans cast or crutches, though did have a bit of a limp. Austin controlled a majority of the match, consistently overwhelming Pillman with offense and take downs. Austin attempted few pinfalls as he seemed more concerned with punishing Pillman. Austin went for a clothesline, but Pillman ducked and Austin nearly hit the referee. However, a drop kick to the back from Pillman caused Austin to collide with the official and out him on the mat. As Austin tried to regain composure, Pillman knelt down in the corner and pulled a chain from his tights and wrapped it around his fist. As Austin moved in, Pillman opened him up and blasted him with the loaded right hand! Pillman slipped the chain back in his tights and then covered Austin as the referee rolled into position and counted the three. (84%) Brian Pillman gained overness from this match.D’Lo Brown defeated Sycho Sid w/Marlena in a Gauntlet Match to RETAIN the Intercontinental TitleThis was a Gauntlet match for the IC title, featuring all members of Prime Time Enterprises. Mark Henry was the first opponent for Sid. The mammoth was able to match power with Sid, but Sid was able to build momentum after trying to be worn down by the big man and caught Henry with an impressive choke slam to eliminate him. Out next was the Rock. Rock was more speed and finesse than Henry, rocking Sid with quick strikes. Perhaps fatigued by Henry, Rock seemed in control of the match and seemed confident in putting Sid away. However, his cockiness got the best of him, as Sid escaped an attempt at the Rock Bottom, kicked Rock in the gut, and planted him with the Powerbomb to get the fall. Finally it was D’Lo Brown’s turn, and Sid was one win away from becoming IC champ. Brown started off with control, getting near falls on Sid, by the Sycho One would not give in and continually kicked out. Sid then began one final comeback, blasting Brown with a boot to the face. Sensing trouble, Henry and Rock came back down to ringside. Henry gained the attention of the referee by chasing after Marlena on the floor. Sid set Brown up for the Powerbomb, but Rock slid in the ring with a chair and blasted Sid in the back. Sid stumbled, but did not fall, but a second chair shot, this one to the head, took him down. Rock fled the ring as D’Lo went to the top rope and connected with the Lo Down to earn the three and retain his title. (82%)Bret Hart defeated Vader in a No Holds Barred MatchThis one was aggressive and hard hitting, and the fan saw a side of Bret Hart they might not have seen before. Vader controlled the early goings with his size, but Bret soon introduced a variety of weapons to neutralize the Mastodon. Hart focused on the knees of Vader, trying to cut him down to size, and at one point connected with a chair shot to the face that busted Vader open! Hart went for the Sharpshooter, but Vader powered out and took control again. Vader landed crushing body blows to Hart and at one point began choking him out on the outside with cables from ringside. Blood still oozing from under his mask, Vader set up a table inside the ring, placing Bret on it and went to the middle rope. Vader was looking for the Vader Bomb, but Bret moved out of the way at the last moment and Vader crashed through the table himself! Hart crawled over and placed an arm over Vader and got the 1..2..3. Hart stumbled to his feet and had his hand raised as Vader lay among the shattered wood with a mask of crimson on his face. (83%)The Undertaker and Cain defeated Shawn Michaels; NEW WWF Champion?The build up to this match and crowd reaction was certainly worth the main event of the night. Taker and Cain stalked HBK at the start, but the champ showed why he had the belt as he used his quickness to avoid both men, and eventually took Cain to the outside after the monster rushed him while on the apron and Michaels pulled down the top rope, spilling Cain over and to the floor. This left Taker and HBK to go at it in the ring for a few moments, with Taker getting the upper hand. Alliances began to divide, however, when Taker went for a pin only to have it broken up by Cain. Taker and Cain came nose to nose, with Cain motioning that he wanted the belt, and soon the two phenoms began to trade right hands. Michaels took advantage, attacking Taker himself as well and depositing him to the floor. As the match climaxed, Michaels tuned up for SCM, but Cain caught him by the throat! Taker slid back in the ring, but Cain grabbed him by the neck as well. Cain stood for a moment, then shoved Taker away and planted Michaels with a choke slam! However, instead of going for the pin, Cain picked Michaels up to his feet and threw him into the arms of Undertaker. Undertaker looked at Cain, and then picked HBK up and dropped him with the Tombstone! Both and Taker and Cain dropped to their knees, and each man pinned an arm of Michaels’ to the mat as the referee counted three and called for the bell. Undertaker took the WWF Title belt from the referee and held it in his hands. He then draped it out onto the mat between he and Cain before rocking his head back and rolling his eyes in the back of his head in his signature manner. Cain then raised his hands and thrust them down as fire erupts from the ring posts before the ring is engulfed in purple light. What has gone on here tonight? Who is the WWF Champion? And what is truly the relationship between The Undertaker and Cain? (92%)

Raw - August 4th - Good choice for the opener, mixing the Summerslam Feuds and contests. Good finsih with Jarrett taking out the knee. I liked this a lot. - Good Promo with Sid, setting up his Summerslam match. - Great segment with Austin and Pillman. Loved Pillman and this feud in real life. Love the idea of Austin threatening to destory the ankle unless Pillman accepts. Really nice, creative stuff here. - Good Summerslam Preview with Sid taking out Wolfie D, Kama & Godwinn. - Interesting segment with Roberts and Cain. Roberts plays the master manipultor well and I liked the Choke slam by Cain, turning Roberts offer down. - The Outlaws/Cage & Copeland Segment was interesting. It plays nicely off of last week's match and I enjoy follow up booking like that. - Hart's match with Taylor allowed for Bret to make his in-ring return and the Vader beat down works nicely in building the feud between them. - Really enjoyed the Cactus Jack promo, fitted Foley nicely imo. - Awesome main event and the DQ finish probably was the best way to go. - The ending segment with Cain and Taker worked nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Raw - August 11th - Waltman retaining his Lightheavyweight Title is fine. Loved Waltman during this period so can't fault him being a strong champion. - Good segment between Ahmed and Bulldog building towards Summerslam. - Liked the Sid/Henry match. Again great build towards summerslam, solid booking. - The HHH promo was agood follow up to Cactus Jack's last week. I like that these two haven't been overtly physicial, makes the anticpation to the match that much greater. - Bulldog getting the win over Nash is fine, again solid build to the match at Summerslam. - Project Omega getting on the same page ahead of the tag title match at Summerslam was good boooking. I was interested in seeing where this "respect" story was going between the Outlaws and Cage & Copeland. This was a good turn on the go home show to Summerslam. - I've really been enjoying the feud between Benoit and Hart and Benoit's promo here helped establish the stipulation and put over the match as something to watch at Summerslam. Good stuff. - Vader and Austin seems like a solid outing. Pillman costing austin the victory helps further that feud and I like it. I didn't like the Hart run in afterwards, kind of took the heat off of Austin/Pillman. - Video for Lafon and Furnas was good. Nice way to put them over before their debut. - Undertaker over Hall is fine. The post match beat down works nicely leading into the closing segment. - Cain coming to Taker's aid works nicely and leaves a lot of questions leading into Summerslam.
SummerSlam - August 17th - Good choice for an opener. Perfect going over works fine and Jarrett snapping post match and letting loose on Perfect's leg gets him some solid heel heat. All around good segment. - The Cage Match going on this early in the night surprises me a little. HHH going over is the right call and the way he did it doesn't damage Cactus in any way as it was his own recklesness that lead to the finish. - The Tag Title match was good, put Cage & Copeland over. The Outlaws retaining is probably the right call in the long run. Good stuff. - Good feud ender with Benoit and Hart. Sounded like a hell of a match. - Hall and Nash I expected when Bulldog went over Nash on Raw. So I'm fine with that. - Pillman over Austin works nicely as Austin has been dominant in the feud so far and probably needed the win more. The cheap finish doesn't damage Austin to much, everyone's a winner. - The gauntlet match was well executed with Sid getting to D'Lo only to be screwed out of the belt. The fact we had two cheap finishes in a row irks me a little but for the most part this worked. I'd have prehaps switched this with the Cage Match in the Match order. - Hart over Vader, much like Cactus/HHH works and the finish doesn't damage either one of them. - Finish to the main event was interesting and this relationship with Cain and Taker raises even more questions. Interesting stuff and a cool finish to the PPV.

-Pumped for this. Perfect over Jarrett is a perfect way to start the show (pun intended). -Helmsley over Jack in a Steel Cage is good for his career. Wonder where he goes now. -NAO over Cage and Copeland was good since Cage and Copeland haven't been around long enough. -Benoit over Hart is really gaining him overness to for both men. Classic bout. -Hall and Nash over Johnson and Bulldog is a good call either way. Though wished Johnson and Bulldog won. -Pillman cheating to steal the victory is classic. This could make him a villain push. -D'Lo Brown retaining the gold was realistic to not make this ground look weak. Hope Sid takes the gold. -Bret Hart over Vader was the match I've been waiting for. Hart winning was great. -The Undertaker and Cain both winning the gold in the same match? Interesting. Hope this sets up Undertaker vs. Kane with the winner facing HBK at the next PPV. -Great PPV; So much to look forward to now.

Summerslam had an all around solid card. Perfect and Jarrett sounded good, glad Perfect won. Helmsley and Jack is good, Helmsley winning is a good way to get him over. Glad outlaws beat E and C to retain. Benoit and Owen sounded awesome. Glad to see Benoit go over, though I wouldnt have minded Owen either. Glad Hall and Nash beat Ahmed and Bulldog. Very shocked you had Pillman go over Austin, but it was a cheap win afterall. Im sure that rivalry will continue. D'Lo over Sid was another surprise, but im so glad you put him over. Bret beating Vader was what I expected. Fantastic end to the main event. I expected Cain to turn on Taker but i guess I was wrong.

August 18, 1997 Commentators: Jim Ross and Dok HendrixConspiracy TheoryRaw kicks of with the Kliq- Michaels, Hall, and Nash- making their way out to the ring. They do not look to be in a good mood.HBK: You know, it’s pretty apparent that most people in the WWF, and most of you fans, don’t really like me. And the fact is, that’s just fine with me. Because despite how people may feel about me, the one thing they cant deny is that time after I time I get the job done. But what I failed to understand was the lengths that the WWF and its powers that be would go to try and bring me down. Not only was I forced into a triple threat match for my WWF Title, but I was forced into that match with the Undertaker and Cain. Two men who’s alliance came to the forefront last night with a single purpose in mind; to steal the WWF Championship away from me. Last night, I was a victim! I was a victim of the system! It was conspiracy from the very beginning, because the fact of the matter is that it makes you people sick to see me on top and know that I am the best in this business. Undertaker, Cain, Vince McMahon, they were all in on it. Last night wasn’t a triple threat match, it was a handicap match. Two on one. And it took both the Undertaker and Cain to beat me. There’s no denying what happened last night was an obvious case of injustice, and I deserve better! So I want to know what the WWF plans to do about it. (92%)Clearing the AirWWF President Vince McMahon appears from the curtain and makes his way to the ring.Vince: Shawn, I can understand your frustrations, and I can understand that you, like these fans, wants answers. So I’m here to give them to you. Last night at SummerSlam, we were faced with a situation like none we’ve ever seen in the WWF. A triple threat match for the WWF Championship in which the champion was pinned simultaneously by two men, leaving the question as to who was actually the WWF Champion. What I can tell you is that, as of this moment, neither Cain nor the Undertaker is the WWF Champion. What I can also tell you is that, for certain, Shawn Michaels is not the WWF Champion. Shawn Michaels, your shoulders were pinned to that mat for a three count, and therefore you did indeed lose the WWF Championship last night at SummerSlam. The question is to whom? As of right now, the WWF Championship is officially held up and vacant. However, I wont allow the WWF and its fans to have to wait long for a champion. In fact, we will have a champion by this time next month. In three weeks, on the first Sunday in September on pay-per-view, The Undertaker will go one on one with Cain, with the winner becoming the new WWF Champion! Thank you and enjoy the rest of the evening. Michaels is livid at this announcement, and has to be restrained by Hall and Nash as Vince leaves the ring. (79%)Douglas Furnas and Phillipe LaFon defeated Billy Kidman and Erin O’GradyAfter weeks of hype, this was the debut of the self proclaimed “Greatest French Export” Furnas and Lafon. The two men showed great athleticism and pulled off a variety of innovative offense. In the end, a combination of a spine buster from Furnas followed by a top rope leg drop from LaFon out Kidman away for the three. An impressive and successful debut for Lafon and Furnas. (76%)Venting FrustrationWe now go to the interview area.Todd: I’m here with the man they call Vader, who last night at SummerSlam was battered and bloodied and came out on the losing end of a No Holds Barred match with Bret “Hitman” Hart. Vader, your thought on what happened last night? Vader: Last night I took everything Bret Hart had to dish out. Chairs, tables, it didn’t matter. Even as blood gushed from my head, the only reason Bret Hart was able to survive was because he was able to get out of the way of my Vader Bomb at the last second. I beat myself last night! Bret Hart didn’t beat me! The good news for the Hitman is that we didn’t have a rematch clause in our contract. The bad news for the rest of the WWF is that now I’m pissed! And I promise you, before the night is over, someone is going to pay for what happened at SummerSlam. Tonight it’s Vader Time! (74%)Biggest FanWe see the aforementioned Bret Hart in his locker room, getting dressed. As he walks in there is a bouqet of flowers sitting in his locker. Bret picks up a card next to them and reads it aloud. “From your number one fan.” Hart smiles sheepishly and continues about his routine. (82%)New Age Outlaws defeated Ahmed Johnson and British BulldogThis was a non-title match. Bulldog began the match and carried most of the load. James and Gunn cut the ring off and wore down Davey Boy. Bulldog started to pull through and build momentum, rocking both Outlaws with clotheslines. Ahmed stood in the corner, extending his hands for the much needed tag, but as Smith reached the corner, Ahmed dropped off the apron! Bulldog looked shocked, and Ahmed simply watched from the floor with a cold stare as Gunn snuck up behind Bulldog and connected with a Rocker Dropper to pick up the win. As the Outlaws made their way up the aisle, Ahmed got in the ring and stood over Bulldog. “Do you want my help now? You need my help now, huh?” Ahmed then took Bulldog and planted him with a Pearl River Plunge! Ahmed left the ring with a look of disdain on his fave to a chorus of boos from shocked fans. (84%) Ahmed Johnson is now a heel. Ahmed gained overness from his turn.Can’t Be ContainedOur cameras quickly cut to the backstage area where we see a brawl going on in the back, and its between Brian Pillman and Steve Austin! Both men are trading punches and almost scratching and clawing just to get at one another. The brawl moves up the hallways as the two men fall over tables and knock down light stands and other equipment, busting glass and bulbs all over the floor. Officials rush to the site, trying to break the two apart. Austin even has Pillman by the hair as officials try to separate them! A few officials even get tossed out of the way before the two are finally separated for good. A few choice words are exchanged before Pillman is escorted off, laughing, and Austin is kept at bay by a slew of officials. (90%)Chris Benoit defeated Jeff Jarrett by DQA solid match put on here by two men with a bit of momentum coming out of SummerSlam. Jarrett controlled the early goings, but Benoit began to make his comeback. Benoit connected with a German suplex tha put Jarrett on his back, and it looked like Benoit might have the match in hand. Suddenly, Vader hit the ring and ambushed Benoit from behind! The referee called for the bell as Vader began to pound away at Benoit’s head on the mat. Vader whipped Benoit off the ropes and smacked him with a body avalanche, then followed up with a huge powerbomb that bent Benoit in half! Vader then drug Benoit to the corner, stepped to the middle rope, and flattened Benoit with the Vader Bomb! Vader said that someone would feel the brunt of this angry Mastodon, and Benoit, a graduate of Bret Hart’s father’s Dungeon, has become that victim, as he is left decimated in the ring. (85%)LonerWe cut to a dark area of the arena and see Raven sitting in a corner, his long hair obscuring part of his face.Raven: Most little children are afraid to be left alone in the dark. I wasn’t like most children. I welcome the dark. I embrace it. It was my only true friend. People have come and gone in my life, using me for their personal gains, and then casting me aside. Jake Roberts was one of these people. In him I thought I had found a kindred soul, a man similar to myself. But as his grasp on his pet, Cain, began to loosen, in the other hand, he willingly allowed me to slip through his fingers, unconcerned with my fate. But as I returned to the black abyss, I returned home. Home sweet home. And just as I found my way back home, I will take what I have learned, and help others who have lost their way, to find their way…home. Quote the Raven, nevermore. (79%)The Undertaker and Cain defeated Kevin Nash and Scott HallA stacked tag match to main event tonight. Undertaker and Cain made separate entrances, making it still unclear what exactly their current relationship is. A typical back and forth tag match. The Kliq seemed to want to keep Undertaker in the ring and avoid Cain. However, once the big monster was unelashed, he cleared the ring of both Hall and Nash. Shawn Michaels appeared in the aisle and tried to provide a distraction, but as Nash tried to attack from behind, Cain turned around and grabbed him by the throat! Hall tried to make a save, but the Undertaker cut him off by taking him by the throat as well. Undertaker and Cain then delivered simultaneous choke slams to Hall and Nash! Cain covered Nash, the legal men, and got the three count. HBK was not happy on the outside, but chose to fight another day than to take his chances alone against Taker and Cain. As Raw came to a close, Taker and Cain now came face to face in a cold stare, calling to memory that these two will face one on one in three weeks for the WWF Championship. (89%)
