Well done Hewey, I haven't been on recently because of being to busy but I caught up and you made a very good start to the diary. I think for sure that HBK will win and go to WM and beat Bret.

WWF Free For All before Royal Rumble '96

We're taken inside the sold out Selland Arena for the WWF Free For All on the preview channel! The crowd looks hot and ready for the WWF Royal Rumble tonight! We're taken over to the announce position where Jim Ross and Vince McMahon are standing by both men wearing suits.

Vince McMahon- Welcome to the WWF Free For All! We're just minutes away from the 1996 Royal Rumble! We're in Fresno, California in the beautiful Selland Arena. And Jim Ross what a match we have for the fans here on the preview channel. President Gorilla Monsoon made this big match up which will be Marty Jannetty going up against Hunter Hearst Helmsley! And the winner will enter tonight's Royal Rumble match at number thirty!

Jim Ross- Vince that certainly is a big match up. The winner of this match would have to be one of the favorites for tonight's Royal Rumble match. You know those two are going to fight it to the death to win this one.

Vince McMahon- They certainly will. Two of the bright young stars here in the new WWF Generation. You want action and you're going to get it here with just minutes away from the 1996 Royal Rumble extravaganza. The WWF superstars won't be slacking off in the ring.

Jim Ross- The WWF Superstars won't be slacking off in there like superstars from a certain competitor. The WWF has the best wrestlers in the world and tonight they're going to give it one hundred and ten percent out there.

Vince McMahon- Fans we're going to get the action going with a match to determine who will enter the Royal Rumble at number thirty! Hunter Hearst Helmsley faces Marty Jannetty.

Winner gets #30 spot in the Royal Rumble

Hunter Hearst Helmsley Vs. Marty Jannetty

Helmsley gets some great heat from the crowd. Lots of "Helmsley sucks" chants were heard which gave Vince and JR the opportunity to hype Helmsley up as a real blue blooded snob. Jannetty didn't really get a good ovation from the crowd or a pop at all....... Match starts off with both men circling the ring. Helmsley and Jannetty lock up and Helmsley takes Jannetty down to the canvas. Helmsley then does his taunt to Jannetty which the crowd responds to with boos. Jannetty got up to his feet looking a bit frustrated as Helmsley taunted him. Jannetty and Helmsley locked up again and this time Marty got Helmsley into a side headlock. Helmsley though sent Marty off the ropes and as Marty bounced back at Helmsley, Helmsley tried a clothesline but it was ducked by Jannetty. Jannetty then hit a quick cross body block taking Helmsley down! 1...2... Helmsley kicks out. Marty lifts Helmsley up by his hair and nails Helmsley with right hands. Jannetty then sends Helmsley to the corner and Helmsley's back hit the turnbuckles hard. Jannetty charges at Helmsley but Helmsley raises his foot in the way right into Jannetty's face! Helmsley follows up and hits a quick DDT! Helmsley covers 1..2.... but Jannetty kicks out. Helmsley drags Jannetty up and suplexes Jannetty down. Helmsley backs up in the corner and then comes running out of the corner with a knee drop to Jannetty's face! Helmsley hooks the legs 1....2... no once again Marty Jannetty kicks out. Helmsley drags Jannetty up and sends Jannetty for the ride. Helmsley goes for a clothesline but Jannetty ducks. Jannetty then charges at Helmsley but Helmsley uses a high knee to the face to take Jannetty back down. Helmsley again covers but again Jannetty kicks out. Helmsley sends Jannetty out to the floor through the middle rope. Helmsley goes out onto the apron and jumps off it looking to hit Jannetty but Jannetty moves out of the way and Helmsley goes crashing onto the steel guardrail! Jannetty then rolls back inside the ring as the referee begins to count Helmsley out. 1....2....3....4....5.... Jannetty though breaks the count and rolls out to the floor. Jannetty lifts Helmsley up and goes to send Helmsley to the steel ring steps but Helmsley reverses it and Jannetty goes crashing right into the steel ring steps! Helmsley rolls Jannetty back inside the ring and heads up top. Jannetty crawls up to his knees and Helmsley comes flying off the top with a double ax handle! Helmsley covers! 1....2... Jannetty kicks out. Helmsley lifts Jannetty back up and connects with a knee breaker driving Jannetty's knee right onto Helmsley's knee! Helmsley follows it up with a stiff clothesline for 2. Helmsley lifts Jannetty back up and hits a side suplex for another 2 count. Helmsley drops his knee across Jannetty's knee three times! Helmsley then goes for a figure four but Jannetty boots him on the ass sending Helmsley to the steel ring post shoulder first! Helmsley then walks right into a crescent from Jannetty hitting Helmsley right in the jaw! Jannetty though can't make the cover and both men are down on the canvas. The referee begins to count both men down.... 1....2.....3....4.....5....6.....7.... Jannetty and Helmsley both get up at the same time. Helmsley's right hands are block by Jannetty who nails Helmsley with big right hands to the face! Jannetty sends Helmsley for the ride and Helmsley runs right into a back body drop! Jannetty then followed up with a huge hip toss to Helmsley! Helmsley staggered up to his feet and Jannetty drop kicked Helmsley! Jannetty then lifts the large nosed blue blooded aristocrat and slams Helmsley down! Jannetty then heads up top as the fans begin to get into the match. Jannetty came flying off the top turnbuckle and hit the fist drop right to Helmsley's face! Jannetty covers and hooks the legs! 1....2.... no! Helmsley has his foot on the rope! Jannetty seems a bit frustrated as he lifts Helmsley back up to his feet... Jannetty kicks Helmsley in the gut and goes for the Rocker Dropper but Helmsley counters and sends Jannetty to the ropes. Jannetty comes bouncing off the ropes right into a kick to the gut by Helmsley! Helmsley drives Jannetty into the canvas with the Pedigree! Helmsley covers! 1...2...3 Helmsley's music hits the arena to boos as the referee raises Helmsley's arm in the air. Helmsley poses over Jannetty saying he's number thirty! Hunter Hearst Helmsley heads to the back as the referee checks on Jannetty.

Winner by Pin Fall: Hunter Hearst Helmsley

75, 70, 81 **3/4

Vince McMahon- What a win for Hunter Hearst Helmsley! He will now be entering the Royal Rumble at number thirty! He could win the Royal Rumble!

Jim Ross- It could happen Vince but then again anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation. We could see Hunter Hearst Helmsley win the Royal Rumble here tonight in Fresno. This kid has come a long way.

Vince McMahon- You gotta give credit to Marty Jannetty who tried but in the end Hunter Hearst Helmsley was just too much for him. Hunter Hearst Helmsley continues to develop into one of the top superstars here in the new WWF generation.

Jim Ross- Hunter Hearst Helmsley has all the tools it takes to become a superstar here in the WWF. He's going to be a big, big star someday Vince. I promise everyone that Hunter Hearst Helmsley will be the WWF Champion sometime in the future.

Vince McMahon- I can certainly see it happen because after all anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation. Fans thank you for joining us on the Free For All and be sure to order the Royal Rumble live on Pay Per View! You don't wanna miss it!

We go off the air with a shot of the live crowd here in Fresno. Make sure to join the World Wrestling Federation for the 1996 Royal Rumble!

Announcers: Jim Ross and Vince McMahon

"The World Wrestling Federation for over fifty years the revolutionary force in sports entertainment."

Is heard from the mysterious voice.... Then the Royal Rumble opens up with a video package highlighting the careers of Undertaker and Bret "The Hitman" Hart. It shows footage of Undertaker hitting the Choke Slam on several opponents followed up by Undertaker delivering the Tombstone on other men as well. It then shows Bret Hart applying the Sharpshooter to several opponents and Bret Hart posing with the World Wrestling Federation Championship. The video ends with a shot of Undertaker and Bret Hart staring each other down with the words "First time ever" showing up on the screen. When the video package ends we're taken inside The Selland Arena where pyro shoots off! The crowd seems hot tonight ready for action like only the World Wrestling Federation can give them. We get the attendance number for tonight's show which is 16,978 people on hand for the WWF Royal Rumble! We then get a shot of the live crowd who's jam packed! We follow up with a shot of the entry way and then we're taken over to the announce position at ringside where our announcers for the evening are Jim Ross and Vince McMahon! Both Jim Ross and Vince McMahon are wearing suits for the first Pay Per View of 1996.

Vince McMahon- Welcome to the 1996 WWF Royal Rumble! We are live in The Selland Arena here in Fresno, California! We are live in the new WWF Generation! We have been sold out for weeks in anticipation for the first Pay Per View event of the new year. I'm Vince McMahon and alongside me is Jim Ross. And Jim Ross tonight we have got a huge night for the fans. For the first time ever Undertaker faces Bret "The Hitman" Hart and the World Wrestling Federation Championship is on the line!

Jim Ross- Vince tonight is going to be the biggest Royal Rumble in the history of the WWF. Bret Hart defends the World Wrestling Federation Championship against Undertaker in what should be a great match. This ain't going to be some tired old main event like the competition likes to put on Pay Per View. This will be a classic! For the first time ever Bret Hart faces Undertaker! Who will come out as the World Wrestling Federation Champion?

Vince McMahon- The "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels also makes his return to the ring as he'll be apart of the Royal Rumble match! Shawn Michaels hasn't been in action since last November and it'll be interesting to see Michaels return.

Jim Ross- I have been looking forward to seeing the return of Shawn Michaels for quite sometime now Vince. Can Shawn Michaels perform a miracle and win his second straight Royal Rumble? Can the "Kliq" do it tonight?

Vince McMahon- Well Jim Ross if anyone can pull out a miracle it's Shawn Michaels. Also in the Royal Rumble is Camp Cornette, Diesel, Five mystery entrants, The returning Crush and Sycho Sid!

Jim Ross- I can't wait to see who the five mystery entrants will be. Plus Crush and Sid's returns should be amazing. What a great Royal Rumble match this should be. My pick tonight is on "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel. Diesel has been a rampage as of late and tonight will be his night.

Vince McMahon- It could happen. It could go down to Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Then what'll happen when the Dudes With Attitude go at it? Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation that much is certain. Fans lets go to the ring because we're starting the night off hot! Ahmed Johnson takes on Jeff Jarrett!

Jeff Jarrett Vs. Ahmed Johnson

Jarrett gets some great heat tonight. The crowd didn't even wait for the match to begin as they started numerous "Jarrett sucks" chants. Ahmed Johnson on the other hand gets a great ovation from the fans. Jarrett starts off taunting Johnson which results in Johnson nailing Jarrett with right hands to the face knocking down Double J! Johnson lifted Jarrett up by his golden hair and took Jarrett to the turnbuckle where Johnson rammed Jarrett's head onto the turnbuckle ten times as the crowd counted along! Johnson then sent Jarrett to the opposite corner and charged but Jarrett got a boot in the way sending it right into Johnson's face! Jarrett runs at Johnson attempting a clothesline but Johnson counters and back drops Jarrett! Johnson lifts Jarrett up and sends Jarrett for the ride. Jarrett ducks a clothesline attempt from Johnson but Jarrett ends up running right into a stiff clothesline from Johnson putting Jarrett back down to the canvas! Johnson puts the boots to Jarrett as the crowd goes wild! Johnson lifts Jarrett up but Jarrett eye rakes Johnson and the crowd boos. Jarrett then kicks Johnson in the midsection and attempts to suplex Johnson but Johnson counters and hangs Jarrett across the ropes!

Both men slowly get up and Jarrett quickly takes Johnson down to the canvas with a DDT! Jarrett hooks the leg! 1....2.. no! Ahmed Johnson kicks out! Jarrett waits for Johnson to get up before hitting a chop block taking Johnson's leg out from under him. Jarrett stomps away on Johnson's leg and then drops down on Johnson's leg butt first!

Vince McMahon- Ted DiBiase made a smart investment bringing Al Snow into the Corporation. Al Snow could go right to the top of the WWF after beating a superstar like Savio Vega. Fans you're only going to get talented stars like Al Snow in the New WWF Generation that's for sure.

Jim Ross- Ted DiBiase's Corporation had a rough year last year but it looks like he's trying to rebuild that group. And Al Snow will be a great addition to The Corporation. Al Snow is quite the talent Vince. He'll have a bright future.

Vince McMahon- It could happen anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation that's for sure. But what a huge main event we could have for Wrestlemania XII. Either Undertaker or Bret Hart will go up against Shawn Michaels! Can the "Kliq" capture the title at Wrestlemania XII?

Jim Ross- It could happen Vince. But it'll be a tough until Wrestlemania XII for Michaels.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take a look at how this huge main event came about!

Great PPV Hewey man! it brings back some great memories when HBK Superkicked Diesel over the top the way he did. It was awsome. I love how you keep some of most historic events in your diary whilst keeping it fresh and original.

WWF Royal Rumble arena notes

The Selland Arena was packed tonight and the crowd was hot during most of the night. Howard Finkel started off the night thanking us for coming out to see the WWF. Howard then introduced Vince McMahon and Jim Ross who came down to the ring and took their place at the announce table. We were still like thirty minutes away from the Pay Per View so God himself Todd Pettengill came down to the ring and took a survey and asked the fans on who would win the Royal Rumble. Pettengill asked if we wanted HBK, Diesel, Vader, Bob Holly(WTF?), And other men to win. Sycho Sid and HBK ended up getting the most pops. Todd then asked who we wanted to win in the title match and Undertaker ended up getting a bigger pop than Bret Hart. 

We got Hunter Hearst Helmsley taking on Marty Jannetty in the Free For All. Crowd was dead for this one but Helmsley is improving every day. Jannetty though continues to suck. Helmsley won which surprised no one. Hunter Hearst Helmsley will have a very good 1996 in my view if he keeps up the good work.

Todd then took another survey asking us if we wanted the WWF back in town. Todd then left as Howard told us the Pay Per View was about to begin.

The opening video was pretty well done and the pyros were loud as hell. The first match was Ahmed Johnson taking on Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett got some of the best heat of the night while Johnson got a great ovation. This one was a decent match thanks to Jarrett's bumping around for Johnson. Johnson's spinebuster looked pretty good as well as his Pearl River Plunge. Looks like Ahmed Johnson is in line for a big push since he's still undefeated and just defeated a former three time Intercontinental Championship.

Savio Vega and Al Snow had a pretty boring match. Al Snow was a surprise to say the least since most people were expecting Steve Austin to be the one facing Vega. Snow wins with Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Dream submission hold. Savio Vega then got stomped on.... Seriously does anyone care about Savio Vega?

Razor Ramon and Goldust put on a great match. It was a little slow at first but then the action picked up. Goldust has been a great character in the WWF. Razor Ramon stepped it up a notch as well tonight putting a hurting on the bizarre one. The whole arena seriously wanted Goldust to get his ass kicked. When Razor hit the Razor's Edge it got one of the biggest ovations of the night but then 1-2-3 Kid came in and screwed things up with a DQ ending. Kid got mad heat on that one. But it was fun seeing Razor then kick the Kid's ass and Goldust's ass. Oh well crappy ending aside it was still a great match.

Bret Hart's interview was pretty good. But many people thought he was going to get his ass kicked later in in the main event.

The tag match was decent but no one cared. Sunny did look good though. I'm glad the Gunns retained the title since no one cares about The Bodydonnas. I say put Sunny with another team.

Undertaker's interview was another good one and the fans seemed more interested in Undertaker than Bret Hart. Again everyone thought we'd have a new champion for sure.

Royal Rumble match was all right. The first couple of entrants didn't get us going until Sgt. Slaughter came down. Jean Pierre Lafitte was a surprise too but no one gave a damn about him last year why would we care now? When Vader came down from the ring and cleaned house I thought he'd make it to the final four but Diesel then ran right over his ass. Marc Mero, Steve Austin and Ron Simmons debuting were pretty cool and the crowd seemed to be behind the returning Sid. Crush has a new look too. When HBK came out the roof nearly went off the damn place. The crowd went nuts when Michaels won the Royal Rumble. HBK in the Wrestlemania XII is a good thing.

The WWF Championship match was the match of the night period. Both men got huge reactions from the crowd with the biggest ovation of the night going to Undertaker. The beginning of the match was great with Undertaker tossing Hart around. The crowd gave Bret some mad heat when he was working over Undertaker's leg. When Undertaker fought back the fans went wild especially when he broke out of the Sharpshooter. Also Undertaker's stupid looking mask came off and he had no scars on his face..... When Diesel came down to the ringside area everyone knew what was coming. Diesel got huge heat when he cost Undertaker the match. But the ending was even better with Undertaker Choke Slamming Hart and then staring down Diesel as the PPV came to an end.

Afterwards Diesel just went to the back and Undertaker stayed in the ring for awhile before heading to the back. Bret Hart then got up and posed for a bit with the title before heading to the back. Howard Finkel thanked us for coming.

Overall it was a great show, The Intercontinental title match, The Royal Rumble and WWF title match were all great. The rest was good. Undertaker/Hart is a easy match of the year candidate for sure.
