SURVIVOR SERIES CONTINUED

Bret Hart (WWF Champion) vs. Ric Flair vs. Mean Mark Callous

Bret Hart, was the first to be eliminated, signifying that there would be a World title switch--but it came at 26 minutes into the match-- Hart's elimination came after a ref bump, when Tully Blanchard, of the Horsemen came in and decked both Mark Callous and Bret Hart with deadly brass knux. Flair rolled on Hart first as referee Dave Hebner counted the 3! Flair then, fell on another unconcious, Mark Callous. Hebner counted the 3! Ric Flair is the new WWF Champion!! After the match, Luger, Tully, and Ric Flair celebrated in the ring. WWF Writer JJ Dillon also came out to congratulate Flair. Is JJ Dillon writing his way back into Horsemen storylines?

Coming off the Break, Steve Corino announced that he just got word that Jack Tunney is recovering at home from the attack of the Hart Foundation, a couple of months ago on RAW, according to a letter he recieved from the President. During Corino's entire time, Piper kept talking about how they should legalize marijuana. "Marijuana" was censored off television, and replaced by an unconvincing voice that subsituted "Wheat Bread", for the word Marijuana.... Also, the President has appointed Yokozuna the new 'watchdog' of the WWF. But as he was trying finish the announcment,

Vince yelled to a rambling Piper, " Piper, would you please shut the hell up!! " Corino, then told Vince not to worry, and that he'll handle this in the ring.

-Flair Calls for A Fourth Horsemen

The Four Horsemen, led by JJ Dillon, came down the isle. Fresh off of loosing his WWF Title, Flair was furious and got straight to the point.

" Bret!!!! Bret!!!! You, Jimmy Hart, Mountie, that whole Canadian Foundation of yours are going down I promise you that much!! First Brother Love, bring your Japanese buddy Tenzan down here right now! You cost me my WWF Title last week on RAW!!

Brother Love appears on the 'RAW Tron', with Hiroyoshi Tenzan working in the background. He is practicing his moonsault, the same Moonsault that he landed on Ric Flair, during his title match w/ Bret Hart last week. It doesn't take us too long to figure out that this is a pre-recorded interview from Love.

Eyyyyyyyeee Looooovvvvveeee Youuuuuuu!!!! Ric Flair, I apologize, but my man Hiroyoshi Tenzan is busy working out.....you know....preparing to become a Champion--something you're not. (Crowd booes) But he'll be glad to face you next week on RAW....or better yet....this weekend...on 'Saturday Night's Main Event'!!! See you there, Flair. A close up on Tenzan reveals that he his practicing his Moonsault...on a Ric Flair Wrestling Buddy. 79%

Hiroyoshi Tenzan's overness went up

Flair continues...smiling now that he got his match.

Wooo!!! Now to Horsemen business! As you can see, we're 4 strong, but only 3 wide! Luger, Myself, and Blanchard handle what we gotta do in the ring, and the greatest mind in pro wrestling; James J. Dillon, back where he belongs; with the Horsemen!!! Woooooo!! (JJ mumbles an inaudible). But we need a 4th! We need that 4th Elite wrestler!!! And that spot is open to ANYONE! ANYONE, can be a Horsemen---just as long as they got the, guts, determination, drive, and will it takes to be a Horseman!

-Yokozuna's first 'mission' as 'WWF Watchdog' is too put out the 'fire' of Eddie Gilbert-

Ludvig Borga & Hotstuff Eddie Gilbert d. WWF King Jerry Lawler & The Blue Blazer

Gilbert pinned Blue Blazer after a Piledriver. After the match, Yokozuna walked down the isle...and since he can't speak English, he handed a note to Eddie Gilbert. It read "You have an Appointment with Yokozuna The WWF Watchdog at Saturday Night's Main Event. Yokozuna smiled, patted Gilbert on the head, and waddled away, smiling - to a huge pop. So if Yokozuna is the WWF Watchdog, what does that make the Mountie?

-The Horsemen meet the new WWF Champion at the door-

A long pink limousine pulled up to the Arena. Out came, in this order, Jimmy Hart, The Mountie, WWF Champion Bret Hart, Ray Rougeau (Now wearing a 'France's #1 Hero' T-shirt), Jim Neidhart and Rick Martel - The Canadian Foundation. Suddenly JJ Dillon appears, and offers to show Bret Hart to his locker room, while Gerald Brisco shows the rest to their locker room, as it is 'New WWF Policy that the WWF Champion have a seperate locker room from everyone else Realizing that both JJ Dillon and Brisco are part of the WWF booking team, Bret accepts, as long as his manager 'The Mouth of the South' Jimmy Hart can come with him. The camera follows Bret.

--JJ opens the door--Bret is met with a low blow from Dillon, a club to the head from Tully Blanchard, and a chair crack by Lex Luger. Bret is laying unconcious. Dillon KO's a shocked Jimmy Hart.

JJ Dillon (Laughing, to Ric Flair)" Do you think Hart's Horsemen material? "

Flair " No way, JJ! The crowd is solidly behind the Horsemen here, as 'Woooos' are heard from every side of the arena. They both laugh, as Flair 'crosses Bret's name' off of the Horseman scouting list. 95%

Ric Flair's overness went up

Chris 'Tatanka' Chavis d. Macho King Randy Savage - IC Title

Good to see that Savage doesn't mind putting over younger talent. After the match the announcers thanked everyone for joining them this week on RAW...but just as the show was going off the air...Mark Callous came down the isle, with a mic in his hand.

The Image of the I-C title has gone up.

-Mean Mark Callous wants to join the Horsemen - By Force-

Callous " Ya know...I just heard there's an opening in the Horsemen! (Callous is pacing all over the ring. Fans are going nuts) Hey Flair! C'mon out here....Ya don't gotta wait for the Royal Rumble, Mean Mark Callous is Your Fourth Horseman!!! (Crowd's going wild)

JJ Dillon comes running out with Lex Luger and Tully Blanchard.

Dillon " Hey, Hey wait a minute!! No, No, No!!! (Crowd booes Dillon--Ahh...gotta love the accidental yet convenient tweenerism of Luger, Flair, & Dillon) You are not in the Horsmen!! You have no class! (crowd Boos Dillon.) You're loud! You curse! (looks closely at Callous. He is chewing tobacco.) You chew Tobacco!!

Callous " Dillon! I'm joining the Horsemen whether you like it or not!! (Dillon doesn't change his mind) Oh yea....Well how bout this! If I beat that pretty boy Lex Luger in a match, I get a spot in the Horsemen! If I don't win, everyone goes home happy. have

Dillon (After conversing with Tully and Lex) "Ok fine 'Mean' Mark. When do you want this match?)"

Callous " NOW!! "

Mean Mark Callous DDQ Lex Luger - Impromptu Match

The two wrestled in this unannounced match for about 5 minutes before Ric Flair hit the ring, attacking Callous. The referee threw out the match, finally, after continuous interferance from Dillon, Blanchard, & Flair. Raw went off the air, with Flair yelling "Callous! You will never, ever be a Horsemen!! " Callous laughed, as he watched the Horsemen back peddle to the back.....to a loud "Callous' chant.

[ChuBalso]

Once again, I typed out results to The Main Event, only to have it erased by the random incorrect effect that the backspace button has on this board.

So in my next RAW, during the raw, I'll post 'Highlights' of The Main Event...

But here's a quick recap.

The Horsemen continued their search...

---JJ Dillon interview Perfect...Perfect said he would only join the Horsemen if the Genius can come along with him. Dillon said no way.

---George the Animal Steele chased JJ Dillon around for the whole night. Looks like Dillon is NOT accepting the man-beast into the Horsman

---Flair defeated Tenzan, in a match that had 81 quality! But the crowd didn't care because of the Eddie Gilbert promo right before this match. That had the crowd buzzing

Jerry Lawler & Macho King had another great match, this time a grudge match. These two are having a great old-skool type feud: More matches, less angles.

Ahh. thats actually about it....lots of squash matches....getting people over...69 Quality, 6.04 rating. Well...I feel a little better now

Hope everyone's enjoying the storylines...feedback!

In my next update (which will be later tonight), the complete card for the PPV just over 2 weeks way, The Royal Rumble! Plus the complete listing of everyone on the roster, along with their overness....!

Janurary 9th, 1994

Vince Russo walked in with JJ Dillon, Ed Ferrera, and some new guy, with a stern look on his face.

Russo "WCW's got a new Monday Night show...and check out their ratings for the first week....6.45 against our 6.04!"

Dillon" It's Ok, we are still getting more people in the arena! Everything is fine, boss!"

Russo "It's Not OK! More bad news -- because of that segment that we had a few weeks ago, where Slick was talking with that bellboy named "Mufffy", had a negative effect on our PI--turns out "Mufffy" is some sort of child violator."

Dillon "Oh don't worry about it! Their PI is 51% ours is at 49%!! We are getting more people in the seats! The people are spending money on merch! We made $5 mil last month! Don't you remember? It's a small setback! We have the hottest feuds going on right now, we'll reclaim our top spot, definatley before the Royal Rumble. And once the Rumble comes around, it's an upward hill from there!"

Javert: (I had to put an end to this bickering), "Um...have we decided on a Fourth Horsemen yet?"

Dillon "Yes....Yes we have."

OPENING RAW CREDITS

-The Mountie takes a Stand-

Raw opened up with the Mountie & Jimmy Hart leading the Canadian Foundation to the ring. Gene Okerland is waiting for them in the ring.

Gene " Mountie...I want to have a word with you....but first--are you worried that a member of your very Foundation is joining the Horsemen! Hey! Where's Bret? It must be Bret Hart! Bret Hart has joined----

Mountie ( Jimmy Hart snatches the microphone from Gene's hand and hands it over to the Mountie). Get out of the ring baldie! First of all, Bret Hart, your WWF Champion is not here tonight! (Crowd cheers the fact that Bret isn't here). Because of the attack of the Horsemen last week on RAW, Bret has refused to come to WWF Raw, because of the unsafe conditions. And he will remain at home until President Jack Tunney takes appropriate messures! And thats an order, Jack! Secondly, all this Horsemen crap! We've had enough of it! (Martel, Rougeau, Niedhart, Martel, and Jimmy Hart all agree). We don't care if Mark Callous joins the Horsmen or not! As a matter a fact, if I had things my way; I would send Callous back to the graveyard, and Flair back to Charolette! Flair, you just remember one thing! Remember who has the WWF Title---us; and who's part of a championship-less stable...which isn't even at 100%! YOU!! HAHAHAHA!!! They all leave and follow Mountie and Jimmy to the back. 78%

Slick "Helloooo mah brutha!!! What is yo' First Name, Mr. Stone??"

Mr. STone " My first name is Brim. Now, how may I help you?"

Akeem" YO! BRO! I'M hea to meet wit Mah Homeboy Dr. Dre! Dis iz Interscope Records, 'aint it.

Mr. STone (after laughing) "Um...No sir...Dr. Dre is actually on tour right now--He's in New York Now. If you knew him you would know that.

Big Bossman (Bossman jumps in front off of his associates) Dammit 'boy! You let us up there! We are the WWF Tag Team Champions!" At this point, a group of tourists, being led on a tour of the record label notices the trio. One person yells out; pointing to the Bossman, "Is That John Candy!!

Bossman chases them away....he trips while running...but nevertheless gets back up and continues the chase. It must've been the fall. 57 %

-'Mean' Mark Prepares For His Match against a Horseman-

We go to the back where Mean Mark Callous is preparing for his match. While the camera is there, he shows them around his lockeroom. He seems to have placed Four Horseman pictures, posters, and memoribillia all over his locker room. He brings the camera to his most prized 4 Horseman item. It's a 1989 picture of, JJ Dillon, Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger---and a superimposed picture of Mark Callous, with his 'arm around Flair'.. Oh the trickery of photography. The crowd cheers Callous' little stunt. 89%

Eddie Gilbert/Mr. Perfect/Randy d. Yokozuna, I-C Champion Chris Chavis, Jerry Lawler

Gilbert got the pin on Jerry Lawler, in what seem to be a match to get Gilbert over. Many fans in the arena popped loud for the short Lawler-Gilbert brawl, as they seem to remember the classic bouts the two had down in Memphis. After the match, Gilbert said a few short words....

" Jack Tunney! You sent that fat a** Yokozuna after me! Why don't you be a man, and stop me yourself!! The challenge has been made Tunnballs! Gilbert - Tunney, The Royal Rumble! Because I'm everyone girls dream, Every Woman's fantasy, and Every Man's Nightmare!!"

At that point, The Mountie came running down the isle and helped Flair pound Callous. However, after thier double team, Mountie turned on Flair, hitting him in the eye with his cattleprod. Luger and Dillon attended to Flair who was outside the ring in agonizing pain.

-Brother Love's Japanese Sensation wins the Battle Royal-

Hiroyoshi Tenzan wins the 20 Man Battle Royal, to earn #30 in the Rumble

This match, while not one of the overly 'skillful' Battle Royals saw some interesting things during the bout. For one, once again, the crowd popped big time for Lawler-Gilbert going at it again. Looks like this will be quite the feud in the WWF's future. The final 3 combatants were Tenzan, Eddie Gilbert, and Yokozuna. Gilbert and Tenzan double teamed the 'WWF Watchdog' until he tumbled through the second rope, and couldnt' get back in. Tenzan then gave Gilbert a cranium kick over the top rope for the victory, while Gilbert was laughing at Yoko. To help Yoko get up, longtime friend Mr. Fuji ran down to the ring to his aid. Awwww.

Tonights match with Yokozuna will be A CAGE MATCH! That way, you can't escape!!! Crowd pops big, and starts a big 'Tunney' chant. I guess Tunney thinks that Yokozuna learned how to climb a cage, since he became 'WWF Watchdog'. 73%

-The Canadian Foundation reign supreme over the Real Americans-

The Canadian Foundation (Ray Rougeau & Jim Neidhart) d. Real Americans

Ray Rougea grabbed the mic and announced that this match would be the final match between the two team, because 'all of his fans in England and France were tired of seeing him lowered to fighting men like Bob Backlund and Mike Rotunda.

During the entire match, while Callous wrestled, Flair refused to tag in. Callous kept making the Horsmen sign, along with imitating Ric Flair's "Woooos". To further add to his 'Horsemen by Force' application, he even came out to Ric Flair's music. The end of the match came, when Lex Luger stole the Mountie's cattle prod, using it on Bret and The Mountie. Finally, Flair tagged in, for the easy pin. The show ended with Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger, and JJ Dillon, all holding thier hands up making the Horsemen sign. Callous held his hands up, too, but JJ Dillon kept pulling it down, telling him to leave the ring.....McMahon's last words on commentary were; " Going into the Royal Rumble, could we be looking at the New Four Horsemen!!??

Monday Night Raw this weeks opens up with Announcer Steve Corino standing in the ring, welcoming the English Fans to Monday Night Raw. He runs down the show, and promises to get to the bottom of the identity of the Fourth Horsemen! He is getting cheers, up until he shows what he did the Shawn Michaels last week on RAW. He then points out popular footballer, Eric Cole...then proceeds to make fun of him. He then joins Vince, at the broadcast table. 75%

We goto the back, where Diamond Studd is talking to himself in the mirror. He is suddenly frightened to see the man standing behind him, it's the 'Gentle' Giant Gonzales. Paul Bearer, Gonzales manager says that if Gonzales looses, he's ready to take on Studd the next night on RAW. But Gonzales insures Paul that he won't loose. Long staredown. 76%

-Corino's first Fourth Horseman 'suspect'-

The Announcer leaves the broadcast booth and goes snooping around the back. He sees Pat Patterson & Gerald Briscoe..but immediatley rules them out. He then, sees The Doctor Of Style Slick....and decides to ask him what P.H.A.T is.....Slick tells him that he'll get a glimpse of P.H.A.T, in just a few moments...Corino moves on and sees Hiroyoshi Tenzan. He asks Tenzan if he's going to join the Horsemen. Tenzan, w/o his manager, Brother Love, has nothing to say...since he doesn't understand English....Corino goes back to the announcers booth, with Vince...unsuccessful. 84%

Steve Corino's overness went up

The Colossal Connection d. The Rockers

Just went it seemed as though the Rockers were going to end the match, Earthquake came running down the isle and pushed Michaels and Jannetty off the top turnbuckles! After the match, Earthquake declared himself; GrandMasta Earthquake! , and started dancing around with Akeem & Slick, while the Bossman continued to beat on the rockers. Slick then grabbed the mic and said, " Pra-pare, next week, Becoz' P.H.A.T makes it's debut!! What the hell was he jiving about?

-Announcer Steve Corino does more investigating-

Corino saw, on the Raw Tron, Mr. Perfect! He ran to the back....guessing that Mr. Perfect was probably the best bet for the person that would be joining the Horsemen! When interviewing him, Perfect yelled at Corino;

" Listen, little man! The only way I'm joining the HOrsemen is if, this man right here (points to his manager, the Genius) can come with me! And, a couple of weeks ago when I was approached by Flair, they were against it! So you won't be seeing Mr. Perfect joining the Horsmen next week, or any week, for that matter! But what you will see is Mr. Perfect winning the WWF Royal Rumble!!! Now That's Perfect!!! 84%

Dissappointed, Corino continued on, this time, running into 'Mean' Mark Callous. He was determined to get to the bottom of this.

Corino "Mark Callous! After what happened last week on Monday Night Raw, the big question is....Are you going to be the one that is introduced as the newest member of the Four Horsmen next week? I know it's going to be you! I know it!

Callous "Hell yea, I am! It's me! I'm joining the Horsemen! Ya see Corino, it's like this....what Mark Callous wants...Mark Callous gets....And I know what the Horsmen are about...I know about the history...the legacy...the pain.....the destruction. And like I said before, This Sunday Night, on Pay Per View...I WILL be officially announced as the Fourth Member of the Four Horsemen....whether Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Tully Blanchard, or JJ Dillon like it or not....Ya know....Steve....Sometimes...with acceptance....comes along a little pain! He punches Steve. Crowd cheers. 73%

Steve Corino gained overness

ADVERTS***Slick Presents P.H.A.T!!! Next week at the Royal Rumble!!***

Jerry Lawler & Yokozuna d. Eddie Gilbert & Randy Savage

Both President Jack Tunney & Mr. Fuji were at ringside...fans were solidly behind Lawler & Yokozuna. Many 'Yoko' and 'Jerry' chants from the English fans. The end of the match came when President Jack Tunney climbed in the ring and gave Gilbert a very weak chair shot, giving Lawler & Yokozuna the victory.

Crowd: 86

-Corino Interviews Bret-

Corino asks Bret Hart if he's the person that The Four Horsemen are going to announce. Bret, holds his WWF Title up to Corino's face.

Hart: " Ya know Corino...how old are you? 23? You know...when you got this title, you don't need 'Four Horse Men' lurking around with you! I am part of the greatest regime ever assembled! The Canadian Foundation! All I'm thinking about is defending the title up against the new WWF Watchdog Yokozuna! Who the hell does Jack Tunney think he is? Granting Yokozuna a title match? I don't know what those two have going on, but if he thinks he going to take away MY TITLE, then he is sadly mistaken! Yokocrapo! You're going to be excellently executed! 81%

Steve Corino gained overness

-Mountie, Callous, and Flair duke it out-

Mountie d. Lex Luger

Mountie nailed Lex Luger with the uranage, at 9:55 into the match, but then Mark Callous ran into the ring saving Lex Luger ....he was quickly followed by Ric Flair which prompted a fist fight between Flair and Callous.....While Luger and the Referee tried to break it up, Jimmy Hart (Mountie's manager) jumped in the ring and cracked Luger over the head with his megaphone! Mountie then got Luger with another Urange for the victory. After his victory, Mountie screamed, "Nobodies interferes in The Mountie's Matches. Not even if their Horsemen! ...With that, The Mountie attacked Flair, prompting a 3 way brawl between himself, Flair, and Callous!!! This week's Raw went off the air, with Tully Blanchard, & JJ Dillon attending to a hurt Luger, while Flair, Mountie, and Callous brawled through the Portsmouth crowd!

Though, I'll be missing some updates (lost in time), I have decided to officially end this diary, with it's conclusion being Wrestlemania '98, a show, that is now, only partially written.

So I will be reposting the diary (for the first time) in it's entirety (barring those misc missing months, missing all of part II, the Berzerker dominated years -- etc....THANKS NOAH!!!!!!!! FUCKFACE!!!

Sorry, had to get that out.

[BlackFlagg]

A nice blast from the past, good to read this stuff again, some classic moments

[Hewey]

Good past updates Javert, Sucks that there's not going to be any part two since I never got to read it but oh well. Looking forward to the Royal Rumble and the Gentle Giant/Hall match up. Callous with Horsemen stuff in his lockeroom and a picture of himself with Flair is fucking classic

[ChuBalso]

Yea, it's because of that prick Noah. Tried to take over our board, and in the process created a clusterfuck, loosing all of the board's data (EWB2/EWF).

Grrrrrr, there's just something about old middle aged computer/board putzs that get to me...
