December 27th, 1993 -Monday Night Raw -
Channel: USA Network
Venue: Manhattan Centre, New York
Attendance: 6,010
Announcers: Vince McMahon & Steve Corino
Paul Bearer opened up Raw in the lockeroom, with Giant Gonzales, holding pictures of 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert, and Ludvig Borga. He says they're wild antics spoil the fun of others, and they have to be stopped. Gonzales started clapping. Open Raw Credits.
-'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert Fires at Gonzalez-
Gilbert was at ringside with McMahon & Corino. Corino asked him all sorts of questions. Basically, Gilbert made it clear that he would continue his pyro antics....and tonight he'll use them on Giant Gonzalez. 76%
-Piper, once again, in no condition to perform-
Rowdy Piper, bloodshot eyes & complete with a 'smoke' odor-- goes stumbling around, and ends up in Brother Love & Hiroyoshi Tenzan's locker room. Piper, who apparently can't see to well, feels on Tenzan's Horns (from his headgear, of course), and thinks that it is the Crown of Jerry Lawler's. Eager to fight 'Lawler' Piper grabs Tenzan and drags him to the ring to wrestle. Somehow, he doesn't hear Brother Love's screaming and yelling. 73%
Hiroyoshi Tenzan d. Rowdy Roddy Piper
Tenzan ended piper with a moonsault of the top rope. Two heels here, not that much crowd interaction.

-Jerry Lawler is the first to enter himself in the Royal Rumble
Gene Okerland "Well, Jerry--I must say that here lately, you've been the ideal hero for wrestling fans of the WWF.
Lawler "That's right, Gene. You had the Macho Man running around here calling himself the King of the WWF. I took care of that--now ya got Piper running around---What does he think this is--woodstock? (Crowd Laughs). But now Gene...I want to go one step higher....I've won titles, in the NWA, AWA, and in the USWA over ten times! But ya know Gene, I never won WWF Gold! (crowd cheers). So, I'm going to be the first to enter myself into the WWF Royal Rumble, live from the Pepsi Arena, on January 29, 1994!
Lawler leaves to a nice "Jerry" chant.
-Slick and the WWF Tag Team Champions-
Vince McMahon " Well, Steve Corino, this next peice of footage comes to use from you, doesn't it? Tells us about it! "
Corino: " That's right Vince. You see before the show, I wanted to sit down and chat with The 'Doctor of Style' Slick, and his team, WWF Champions - The Colossal Connection. But when we were looking for a hotel room, things weren't as easy as Slick Thought they would be. Take a look....... "
Steve Corino has a micropohne and is following, the manager of the WWF Tag Team Champions (Big Bossman & Akeem), 'Doctor of Style' Slick, around town looking for a hotel room to sit in. Slick insists that his 'new connections', ever since his team won the titles, would grant him whatever he wanted. Slick walks into to Hotel 1.
Slick " Weaaahhhlll, Exuussseee meee! (to the secretary) It's Me, the Dr. Of Style!!! (The secretary has no idea who he is - He leaves dissappointed and goes to Hotel #2.
----(The bell person of the second hotel is a young woman, maybe mid 20s. Style starts with the girls, flashing the WWF Tag Team Titles)
Slick "Well helloo my sista! I most certainly do remember seeing you at all of those VIP parties! You know mah men, Akeem - Soul Brotha, and the Law and Order of the WWF The Big Boss--(She slaps Slick before he can even finish--The crowd is laughing watching this from the arena--Slick, dissapointed, goes to Hotel#3
(The bellboy of Hotel #3, is short, fat, and oddly dressed. He is wearing a shirt that says I love Children , and his nametag reads Mufffy )
Slick "Mah Brutha! Mah Brutha, Mufffy! You do realize that the three men before you are very powerful men? Yas, that's right brutha! We own the WWF Tag Team Titles!
(At first the bellboy 'Mufff' is confused....but then he looks at the Big Bossman, as if he suddenly remembers his face...)
Mufffy: "John Candy? Is that You! Oh My gosh! (He starts screaming - looking for 'kids' in particular) Hey kids! Hey everyone, it's John Candy!! Oh I'd like to see John's Candy! . Segment Ends with Vince Mcmahon and Steve Corino laughing on the air. Maybe it got a low rating because....it ended unexpectedly.

Steve Corino left the announcers booth, telling Vince that he was going to try to get a word with Bret Hart before his big championship match. The Camera followed Steve Corino all the way to the Canadian Foundation's Lockeroom. When Corino walked in, he was suprised to see Jimmy Hart, Bret Hart, and The Mountie, talking to....Brother Love!! ...They kick Corino out of the dressing room.

WWF World Championship
Ric Flair (Champion) vs. Bret Hart
Jack Tunney came out first an announced that if anyone from the Canadian Foundation or the Four Horsemen intefered, then their entire regime will be indefentley suspended!
The first 10 minutes of the match was all Flair, the next ten minutes Bret, then it went back and forth from there. The crowd was solidly behind Flair for the entire portion of the match. During the entire match, each member of the Canadian Foundation tried coming down to the ring.
When Jimmy Hart was denied by the referee he argued "But I'm the Mouth of the South!!"
When Rick Martel got denied, he argued, "I'm a model, dammit!"
When The Mountie got denied, he protested, "I'm the Law of the WWF!"
When Jim the Anvil Neidhart got denied, he argued that he was an Anvil. The referee had no idea what an Anvil was, and neither do I.
Final Call by Vince McMahon & Steve Corino
McMahon " ....and now...it look's like Flair has Bret right where he wants him, WAIT A MINUTE!!! WHO'S THAT---IT'S BROTHER LOVE! What the hell is he doing down here!!? "
Corino: (Brother Love Falls down, clinching his ankle...screaming 'Ahhh Lorrd!!! Heellppp!! My ankle! My ankle!') "Oh my!! Vince it looks like Brother Love hurt his ankle....referee Dave Hebner is going to his attention.....
(As Ric is watching the crazyness outside the ring, Bret Hart reaches down into his trunks, finds brass knuxxx, and clonks Flair in the face with it.)
McMahon " And now...Hart has the pin...Ric Flair is down....1........2.......3.....!!! Yes!! No!!! Two! Flair Kicked out!! Where did he get that energy from??! (Brother Love starts screaming again...Hebner goes back out to help him)

I'll make the match write ups more detailed for Raw, I usually don't do recaps like I did for Heat, in my old WCW diary I wrote them up as if I was watching the match and called the action as I saw it, so ill do that for Raw but in more detail.
-
They begin by showing Undertaker chokeslaming some of his many victims and then the video cuts to Undertaker throwing Mankind of the Hell in a cell and then to when he put Mankind through the top of the cell, the video ends with the crucifixion of Stone Cold and an evil laugh from the Undertaker, as the video fades to black we can here Undertaker say Rest In Peace.

Was/Is Mike Gibbons (Head writer of Kiborn) hosting the show at all. I saw him talking during an advert last night, but fell asleep before the show.

What I am about to say can only be argued against by a Yankees fan, or someone who is insane. And if someone does try, let me say before you even start: You're full of shit.
The Yankees are NOT great. If you've got a team who can easily afford to spend more money than even two or three teams combined on quality players that other teams can't afford, of course you're going to win championships

ICHIRO BREAKS THE RECORD!!!!!!!
258 slappy grounders, choppy hits, bloop singles, and infield hits!!! Yay!

We're gonna be watching the Cubs/Braves here instead of the Western Games. Mike and the Maddog (#1 ranked Sports radio show here in the NY/NJ Area) are trying to get a phone in drive going trying to convince Fox to show the Angels game tomorrow.

For some reason, Callous got a HUGE ovation. Maybe it's because he's ditched the stupid costume, and the wierd looking fat man.
" You know what I ate! I hate people that think that the world owes something to them! Flair, how in the heck, do you think YOU deserve a title shot against Bret next week at Survivor Series. If anyone does, it's me! I'm the one that came here busting everyone's a--, day in and day out! I'm not walking around here claiming to be "The Great Ric Flair!". Flair, your time is done, 'boy.

After the match, Jack Tunney came out, and decided that, to solve the WWF Main Event Title Shot problem....at Survivor Series, that "Both Ric Flair and Mark Callous will get a title shot at WWF Survivor Series, in a 3 way Elimination Match!

Novemember, 20th 1993 - Staff Meeting
I gave everyone the heads up that Terry Hogan had walked out of the WWF. Everyone was fine by it. We got Hogan to do two jobs to the Mountie, and we got rid of him without costing us anything. Our next plan is to get rid of Yokozuna. While he is one of the most over wrestlers in the company now, I really don't want that kind of guy at the top. There's only a certain amount of time before everyone realizes he can't wrestle. Plus, he's going to hurt our card ratings. I want the WWF to be where it once was about 10 years ago...the TRUE leader in sports entertainment.
My assistant, Sophia had some news about other wrestlers. Here are some of the best out there:
Jeff Jarret (USWA), Jake Robersts (Free), Sgt. Slaughter (Free), Tammy Sytch (SMW), British Bulldog (Free).
Blah. No one there interests me.....I need a Fourth Horsemen. Maybe we'll debut, whoever they are at the Survivor Series--I don't know just a thought. Right now we have 3 of former four horsemen (Flair, Luger, Blanchard), and not in a rush. Despite Hogan leaving, we're still going to base everything around thier power struggle with the 'Canadian Foundation'
I have decided to put Roddy Piper with Harvey Wipplemen. Something tells me that we could be onto something here. Piper's charisma isn't as high as it used to be, but he's still over with the fans. But he needs a manager to help him stay over. Speaking of managers, I also want to give Slick a nice push. He's one of the most underated, AND colorful managers to date.
But, onto serious things. We have our card set for Survivor Series. Despite Hogan's "ankle injury" we were able to put together a PPV which doesn't look too bad at all! So lets take a look at our current feuds along with my staff that attended this meeting!!

Terry "Hulk" Hogan gets released!!!
Novemember 16th, 1993
I sat down at my desk, and awaited the final card for Survivor Series....our big staff meeting was scheduled for tommorw....
One of My writers, JJ Dillon walked into my office, he looked upset.
JJ Dillon "Hey how's it going. Remember that Bret Hart - Terry "Hulk" Hogan Main Event Match...well it can't happen. Hogan hurt his ankle, two weeks ago against the Mountie.
Javert "Shit! I got Mean Mark set to go against Flair, and all of my other Main Eventers & Uppercards are already booked up! What are we going to do about our Main Event?"
JJ Dillon " I dont' know, yet. We'll figure something out by tommorow's meeting, I promise. By all means, if you have a better idea.....
Javert: "Lets get rid of Hogan. He's also giving the Horsemen a bad name".
JJ Dillon " Hehehe, well good luck! It's going to cost alot to fire him. See if you can get him released....but here---" Hogan walk's in.
I think quickly. What can I tell him that will make him want to leave, even those he's already pissed about jobbing to Mountie, twice.
"Um...Hogan...You've done a great Job in the Horsemen....things are going well...Tell me...how long will it take your ankle to heal?"
Hogan: : "About two months, brother."
Javert : (TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!???--at $300,000? No way!) "Oh. Um...thats fine. When you come back, your new gimmick will be a 'College Professor'. You will be called Professor Terry Hogan, and we'll have you in a great feud against, the Genius....Lanny Poffo...you know, Randy's Brother...Or...if you want, while your ankle is healing, I'll be glad to offer you a release....
With that, Hogan gave me a look of disgust, then left my office, forever.....

Once Gonzales was gone, Flair and Luger jumped the celebrating Studd and Callous! The Diamond Studd fled the ring right away, saying '"That ain't my business chico!". This allowed for Luger to get Callous with his running forearm, that knocked Callous out. Flair then followed by putting on his figure four, to a nice pop. And thats how Raw went off the air.

Jame J. Dillon for the first time, is shown on camera, befoe Raw officially goes on the air. He announces that he would like to thank various officials from "another rival promotion", for allowing the WWF to purchase various Character rights (Diamond Studd, Mean Mark, etc.). He then makes the four horsemen sign, leading us into the next screen. Self gratifying....

Ric Flair: "Why???? (Screaming). Woooooo!!!! Can you smell it Gene? (Gene looks around, confused). Wooooooooo!!! I smell victory!!! Last week on Raw, when the Rougeau's and the Harts decided that they were running the show, I knew that it was time for the four Elite wrestlers that this sport has known to come together!! Wooooo!!!

" Ya know something, brother! (big pop) Everybody's been asking me, dude 'What are you gonna do about Bret Hart?' or 'Did ya hear what Bret Hart said'. Well of course, brother, I was there! Bret, dude, all you talk about is how I don't want to leave the top, and I'm getting old, BLAH BLAH BLAH. (Hogan, pretending to be an infant Baby starts crying--crowd is laughing). WAAAA!!! WAAAA!!! I'm Bret Hart, and I'm a crybaby! WAAA! WAAA!! (crowd is laughing hysterically at this point). Bret, dude, you want to prove yourself? You say that you're the man that should lead the WWF into the rest of the 90's? I say NO! I say it's my new group of friends. Just as this man right here said (patting Flair on the back), it's the Four Horsemen era!!!!
----Oh and one more thing dude! Hey Mountie! If ya got the guts, I want you in the Main Event tonight! Last week was a fluke, this week I'll show you what hulka---what the Four Horsemen are all about!
