March 22, 1998
Wresltemania XIV is the biggest pay-per-view the whole year. It's where you raise or fall. It's where you career hits the crossroads.
First and foremost, World Champion Shawn Michaels will take on Royal Rumble winner Stone Cold Steve Austin. With Austin already wanting to put his hands on HBK, on RAW fuel was added to the fire. Austin was hit backstage in a hit-and-run. Nobody knows who it is. All fingers point to Michaels, who's has problems with Austin in the recent weeks.
D-Generation X member Triple H will lay his European title on the line against former D-Generation X member Taka Michinoku. HHH is not the only person to lay his title on the line, Taka will also put his Light-Heayweight Title up for grabs in a title versus title match.
Talking about titles, Rocky Miavia will go up against Cactus Jack for the Intercontinental Title. The match is even rumored to be a hardcore match.
Also, you can't forget about the tag-team battle royal. We will see in-ring, Kane and the Undertaker. And whoever wins the battle royal, they will meet the New Age Outlaws for the Tag-Team titles. Other teams include: The Rock'N'Roll Express, Legion of Doom, Faarooq and D'Lo Brown, The New Midnight Express, Skull and 8-Ball, The Godwins, and Too Much.
--Quick card lineup
Austin vs HBK for the WWF World Title
Cactus Jack vs Rocky Miavia for the WWF Intercontinental Title
Taka Michinoku vs Triple H for the WWF European Title and WWF Light-Heavyweight Title
Tag-Team Battle Royal

Opening montages plays, fans are greeted with black and red pyros. Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome fans to RAW IS WAR and run down what's going to happen tonight.
New tag-team?
Lights darken and fog fills up the arena. The Undertaker comes out lead by manager Paul Bearer. Bearer has an urn in his hands, raises it, and walks down to the ring while the lights slowly go back on.
Paul Bearer "Fans! Wrestlemania is the stage where wrestlers go from average to a superstar! And this Wrestlemania won't be any different. You know why? Because I have set up the biggest tag-team in wrestling history. On March 22nd, Kane will team up with his brother and enter the tag-team battle royal for a chance at the WWF Tag-Team titles! That's right, Kane will put his past behind and make him and his brother a machine!"
Jim Ross "What? Didn't Kane come to the WWF to destroy his brother? Now he's teaming up with him? I don't understand this."
Bearer raises the urn, looks at the Undertaker and walks back to the backstage area.
OR: 74
And that's the bottom line
Camera quickly goes backstage. It shows somebody holding a beer can. It's Stone Cold Steve Austin with Michael Cole.
Michael Cole "Hello fans. I'm here backstage with Stone Cold Steve Austin! Now Austin, Wrestlemania XIV is going to be the biggest match in your career. What do you think are your chances in capturing the World Title?"
Austin takes a sip of beer and looks dead eye at Michael Cole.
Steve Austin "Ya' silly bastard. I'm Stone Cold Steve Autin. I've been through hell and back. I held and retained the damn Intercontinental Title with a broken neck. In January I went through 30 men to get where I am. Now I have to listen to your piece of s*** ya' giving me?"
Michael Cole "Well I just thou--"
Steve Austin "Aye shuddup! At Wrestlemania, you'll see me walk down to that ring. Kick Shawn Michaels' ass, hit the Stone Cold Stunner, and walk home with the World Title around my waist. It's as simple as that!"
Austin takes another sip of beer, throws it on the floor, and walks off camera.

The Rock'N'Roll Express vs Too Much
Tag-Team Match
Begining of the match, Rock'N'Roll Express took the young guns to school with a couple of punches, clotheslines, and body slams. Brian Christopher gained some momentium from dodging a clotheline and coming up with his own. With all the punishment Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton took, they looked unbeatable. Suplex after suplex, they seemed to stay down for a couple seconds and then get back up. The match doesn't end when Scotty Taylor hits the Flying DDT.
OR: 54 CR: 61 MQ: 41
Ricky Morton didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. Robert Gibson didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. Ricky Morton is losing overness because of his weak gimmick. Robert Gibson is losing overness because of his weak gimmick.
He's against you!
Camera is somewhere backstage in front of a locker room door. The door opens and in the room is the Nation. Faarooq, Rocky Miavia, Mark Henry, and Kama Mustafa are all hanging out backstage.
Faarooq "Dammit! It ain't fair for me not to get a title shot! I worked too damn hard in this business. In a couple more months my contract is gonna end. Who's gonna come with me to WCW?"
Rocky Miavia "Whoa whoa whoa there. . . WCW? Are your standards that low Faarooq? Their World Title is basicly our European title. If you go there you're going to rot the Nation."
Faarooq "WCW is gawd damn bet--"
The door slams open. It's D'Lo Brown panting for breath.
D'Lo Brown "Guys. . . you. . . won't believe. . . what I. . . just found out. I just heard. . . Cactus. . . Intercontinental. . . Wrestlemania."
Camera looks at Rocky Miavia's stunned face and fades out.
OR: 67
Oooh you didn't know?
Camera goes somewhere else backstage. It shows Kevin Kelly with the New Age Outlaws.
Kevin Kelly "Kevin Kelly here, and I'm with the New Age Outla--"
Road Dogg "Kevin, the audience already knows who the TAAAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOORLD. . . are. . . at Wrestlemania, Vince decided to put on a special battle royal. And whoever wins, will wrestle us, the New Age Outlaws, in a tag-team match later that night. Well. . . the only reason Vince decided to do this was because. . . the New Age Outlaws have NO competition."
Billy Gunn "Just look at us. We defeated the Road Warriors. We defeated the Rock'N'Roll Express. We defeated the Godwins. There ain't nobody else for us to fight."
Kevin Kelly "Well earlier today Paul Bearer announced the Undertaker and his brother Kane will enter the battle royal. Any thoughts on that?"
Road Dogg and Billy Gunn look straight at eachother as if they lost their breath. They then look at Kevin Kelly and walk away.

Cactus Jack vs Jeff Jarrett w/ James E. Cornette
Singles Match
A decent match between the two. Cactus Jack domminated most of it. A particular DDT almost gave him a two count. Jeff Jarrett tried to come back after hitting a fireman's carry out of nowhere, but it was no use. Cactus finished him with a Doublt Arm DDT for the win.
After the match, running down straight to the ring is WWF Interconinental Champion Rocky Miavia. Miavia comes in and hits Cactus with a couple of punches and kicks. When Cactus finally hits the ground, Miavia spits on Cactus and walks back up the ramp.
OR: 80 CR: 79 MQ: 82
Who did it?
The camera quickly goes somewhere backstage showing a crowd forming. It looks like somebody got hurt. Camera goes in for a closer look and on the ground is Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin is holding his head as if somebody threw something at him. Nobody knows who it can be, with no evidence to be found.
Jim Ross "Well fans, I don't know what to say about that. We'll keep you updated after this commercial break."
--COMMERCIALS
During the break: With refs, road crew, etc. still around Austin, coming out of no where is the D-Generation X.
Shawn Michaels "Oh my? Who coulda done this? Are you alright there buddy? Looks like somebody hurt your noggin'."
HBK gives HHH a little smirk.
Shawn Michaels "You'll be alright. Well. . . I gotta run, see you at Wrestlemania!"
HBK walks off followed by HHH and the rest of the D-Generation X. While they're walking, you can hear Austin yell, "I'll get ya' you son of a biiii. . ."
OR: 96
Steve Austin gained overness from this segment.
Jim Ross "It's the D-Generation X! They're the only people that have a grudge against Austin!"
Jerry Lawler "J.R., Austin deserves this. He calls himself the baddest S.O.B. in the WWF, but when he gets his ass kicked, he doesn't do nothing!"
Ahmed Johnson vs Triple H w/ Chyna
Non-Title Singles Match
Ahmed Johnson seemed to not care as much during the match making HHH look very weak coming into WMXIV. Even with the match being on the stale side, there was still buzz around the crowd. Maybe because of the Austin incident? Who knows. At the end, HHH won with the Pedigree.
OR: 68 CR: 72 MQ: 60
Ahmed Johnson didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.
Hyping them up
It goes somewhere backstage. Paul Bearer is with the newly formed tag-team, Undertaker and Kane.
Paul Bearer "This is it, the WWF won't ever be the same. The Undertaker and Kane, will bring darkness to this company and will start at Wrestlemania. (*Fans boo) When they capture the tag-team titles, they're will be no other team to challange them. Mark my words."
Bearer walks off camera, followed by the Undertaker. You see Kane stare at the Undertaker while camera fades.
OR: 79

The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearervs Goldust w/ Luna Vachon
Singles Match
This was basicly a jobfest. Undertaker came out to prove to everybody that teaming up with Paul Bearer was the right choice. Goldust had no offensive moves the whole match. Undertaker hit the Tombstone Piledriver for the win.
OR: 79 CR: 76 MQ: 82
Come out here and tell me who did it
After the match, people start to leave since that was the main event. Out of nowhere, Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme music hits. Fans rush back to their seats to see the tapped up battered up Austin walk out on stage. Austin looks serious and walks down to the ring.
Jim Ross "Well folks, we're suppose to be offair right now but we got you guys covered the whole night."
Steve Austin "Now earlier tonight, I was walking backstage, drinkin' a lil' beer, and out of nowhere, sum bitch came up to me and hit me in the head. Now I know if ya' want a piece of Austin, you can just ask for it. I'll glady whoop yer ass. But if ya' do it from behind, I'm going to hunt you down like a rattlesnake, rip your head off your body, and beat the sh--"
Are you ready?. . . D-Generation X's music plays and comming out on stage is HBK with buddy HHH, Chyna, and Rick Rude.
Shawn Michaels "Austin. . . I already know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I hit you from behind. You know me. . . come on! I would never. . . EV-ER do that to my opponent I'm going to face at Wrestlemania. I don't want the match to be unfair. If I wanted to face you, I'd do it right now. Face to face."
Steve Austin "Right now? Face to face?"
Austin drops the mic and forwards HBK to get into the ring. HBK looks at HHH and then Chyna and walks down. Before HBK can make it, running down to the ring is about a dozen of police officers to get in between the World Champ and the Rattlesnake. Both men try to fight their way to eachother but stop as the show ends.

Vince turns around, smiles, and heads back.

Rob Van Dam vs. Skull w/ Paul Ellering
Singles Match
RVD and Skull have very different styles of wrestling. Both tried to use it to their advantage. RVD tried to make Skull run around the ring, but Skull was smart enough to not play cat and mouse. The match didn't start rolling when Skull caught RVD and hit a clothesline. Skull starts taking over the match with various slams, punches, and suplexes. RVD looked worn and dead. With the help of the crowd cheering and ranting, RVD slowly gets back into the match. RVD hits a string of kicks to the mid-section and a spinning heel kick to finally bring Skull off his feet. Skull tries to get up but gets kicked back down by RVD. RVD climbs the turnbuckle and goes for the Five Star Frog Splash until he's stopped in mid-air. Skull goes for his finisher, the Powerbomb! This match should be over, but RVD was able to kick out at the last second. Skull can't believe it, same with Paul Ellering. Both argue with the ref, giving RVD time to recover. Skull goes back to RVD, who's already on both feet. RVD punches Skull in the face and then hits a powerbomb of his own! RVD climbs the turnbuckle and hits the Five Star Frog Splash for the win.

Interpreter "Taka says. . . I thought they were my friends. I trusted them. . . they made me feel important. I will never forget what they did to me. Leaving me to rot, is the lowest of lows. But I will have to forget about this and move on, continue my career."
Kevin Kelly "Where do you go from here?"

Faarooq vs. Cactus Jack
Singles Match
Like their match before, both men seem they couldn't find eachother's weakness. Both had no clean-cut edge. Cactus was able to link a couple DDTs and bodyslams together but that's it. Faarooq was able to get the advantage with a particular powerbomb. Faarooq takes it from there. Punches, kicks, slaps, everything he has in his short move list. Faarooq goes for the Dominator but Cactus wormed his way out of it and out of nowhere hit the Double Arm DDT. Both men are on the canvus. The ref begins to count to ten. Cactus didn't move until seven or eight and pins Faarooq for a two count. Cactus picks up Faarooq and hits a Clothesline. Cactus then climbs the turnbuckle and hits an elbow drop.

Triple H "Give me some DAMN respect! I'm the European Champion! (*Raises title) And with me being the European Champion, I can whatever the hell I want! And tonight. . . I want to challange ANYBODY in the back! It can be Austin, the Undertaker, ANYBODY! So whoever wants a shot against me. . . and my title at Wrestlemania XIV come out here now!"
Triple H throws his title on the ground and begins jumping up and down, waiting for who will come out.
Some music we've heard before, but not in a while. Fans begin to cheer when coming out is the Light-Heavyweight Champ Taka Michinoku! Taka walks around the stage before speaking.
Taka Michinoku "Me. . . you. . . Wrestle-Mania!"
HHH isn't sure if he's suppose to laugh or be in shock.
Triple H "You? Want to challange me? You couldn't even beat Austin! I'm better then Austin! (*Fans boo) Doesn't matter with me. . . it's a D-Generation X automatic win! (*Fans boo even louder) And speaking of D-Gneration X. . . you don't deserve to wear that shirt!"

The shot started off with Nation of Domination leader Faarooq coming down to the ring to issue a challange to anyone in the back to show that he's Championship material. Out to accept Faarooq's challange is no other then Cactus Jack!
Marc Mero with the sultry Sable defeated the Honky Tonk Man with the Marvelocity.
Goldust with Luna Vachon almost scratched out the win against Ahmed Johnson. Johnson was able to win the match with the Pear River Plunge.
In the main event, Cactus Jack and Faarooq both looked like they were both Championship material. Both never had a clean cut advantage. Tides turned when Nation of Domination member and WWF Intercontinental Champion Rocky Miavia walked down to the ring and distracted Cactus by spitting in his face! Since Miavia didn't physicly touch Cactus Jack, the ref allowed the match to continue. Faarooq hit the Dominator for the win.

I don't know about the swerve with Undertaker joining Kane, I guess we'll have to wait for Undertaker versus Kane a little bit longer. It doesn't really make sense for him to join Kane since Kane was hell bent on destroying Undertaker since he came to the WWF, Hopefully you'll give a good explanation as to why Undertaker turned.

Lets just start right now
Shawn Michaels "I'm just going to make this short. . . and simple. On Sunday Night Heat, Stone Cold had to get in between D-Generation X plans. . . again! What do you want Austin? I'm going to give you your title shot at Wrestlemania XIV! Now you want to face me and Taka Michinoku against you and a HBK wannabe?"
HBK folds his arms and thinks for a moment.
Shawn Michael "I say. . . lets get it on right now!"
Fans cheer.
Jerry Lawler "Are you kidding me JR? This is the first time ever I've seen a main event match be the first!"
Stone Cold theme music hits. Stone Cold comes running down to the ring, Rob Van Dam right behind him. Stone Cold and RVD slide in the ring and at the same time, D-Generation X slide out of it.

Vader vs. Faarooq
This match is better then expected. It's one of the best brawls we've seen all year. Both men put their hearts in this match. Both were evenly matched throughout the whole match. Vader was able to get the upperhand when hitting a piledriver. He for sure had the victory, but it slip right out of his hands. While going for the Vader Bomb, Faarooq rolled out and hit the Dominator for the win.

Jim Ross "Ken Shamrock isn't suppose to be here tonight. He's suppose to be in the hospital resting his body!"
Jerry Lawler "Ken Shamrock has balls to get beat up by Faarooq again."
Shamrock starts punching Faarooq, but it's no use. Faarooq pushes Shamrock to the canvus and starts kicking him. Faarooq pulls Shamrock up and hits the Dominator! Shamrock is holding his back as if it's broken. Faarooq leaves the ring with the medics running down to the ring. . . again.

I'm down for anywhere and anytime!
After the commercial break, we see Kevin Kelly backstage with Bradshaw.
Kevin Kelly "Bradshaw, the past couple of weeks you've had a little grudge against Barry Windham and the NWA. What caused this?"
Bradshaw "Kevin. To tell you the truth, I don't know what's Barry or the NWA's problem. I've done nothing that coulda got their cowboy hats on too tight. I'm just here to do my job and win."
Kevin Kelly "What about Dan Severn? What is between you two?"
Bradshaw "Dan just so happened to dislike his former partners. If he wants to join me, I'm fine. If not, g'luck to him."
OR: 68
Bradshaw gained overness from this segment.
Dan Severn vs Bart Gunn
The match was pretty decent, but the fans just couldn't get into it. Gunn went straight at Severn for leaving the NWA. He hit him with a lot of punches to the face and to the stomach as if it was a boxing match. Severn was able to bounce back with his UFC-fighting style, taking Gunn to the ground and hitting him with a punches to the head of his own. Severn had some steam behind him and hit three body slams in a row! Severn looks like a snake waiting to strike. . . and he locks in the Beast Choker. Before Bart Gunn can tap out, running down the ring is Barry Windham! Barry slides in and hits Dan Severn over the head with his cowbell. This is it, the match is over. Dan Severn wins by DQ. The ref tries to stop Windham from destroying Severn but all he gets is a shove in the face. Gunn and Windham are beating on their former partner. When they're done, they walk back up the ramp smiling at what just happened.

Why Undertaker why?
It's dark, gloomy, and raining. It looks like it's in a cemetary. The camera zooms out and shows two tombstones clearly owned by the parents of the Undertaker and Kane. On camera now is Paul Bearer with the Undertaker holding a umbrella.
Paul Bearer "Why Undertaker why? Why did you have to turn on everyone around you? You turned on your fans, and you turned on your parents! Because of you, we're here now morming their death. If you weren't a bad child and set your parents' funeral parlor on fire, they would be here! And not only that, but you're little brother Kane wouldn't have to wear a mask to cover up his burnt face. Now what do you have to say to yourself?!"
The Undertaker tips his hat to cover his face.
Paul Bearer "You deserve to be there. Not your parents! And that's where you'll be at Wrestlemania!"
Jim Ross "What does that mean?"
Jerry Lawler "I don't know, but Paul Bearer is too creepy to look at."

Michael Cole "Hello fans. I'm backstage with Rob-Van-Dam. RVD, you made your debut on Sunday Night Heat. How is it so far in the World Wrestling Federation?"
Rob Van Dam "Aww man. . . you don't know how stoked I am to be here! It's just great man. But you know, teaming up with Austin later tonight against Taka Michinoku and Shawn Michaels, that's even better! I'm pumped."

Cactus Jack vs. Rocky Miavia
Youngster Rocky Miavia had the edge on Cactus Jack in the begining of the match. With his agility and speed, Miavia seemed to lead for the win. But going on cruise control, Miavia forgot Cactus Jack is a veteren in the ring. Cactus reversed a DDT, same with the match. Miavia receives a couple punches and then Snap Suplex which give Cactus a two count. Instead of focusing on Miavia, Cactus argues with the ref. This buys Miavia some time to gain some energy. Cactus finally realizes he can't win the argument and goes back to the match. Miavia, watching him like a wolf goes in for the kill and goes for the Rock Bottom! But Cactus saw it coming and came with a Rock Bottom of his own! Cactus pins Miavia for the win.

Taka is still nodding his head and smiling.
Shawn Michaels "Now lets go!"
HBK points to the door and Taka heads out the door. HBK walks towards the door, peaks his head outside of it and closes it.

Taka Michinoku vs. Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam
Taka comes out to the crowd and suprised his partner is no where to be found. He watches the Rattlesnake and RVD come down to the ring and finally realizes he's going to be in a handicap match when the bell rings.
The first couple of minutes, instead of fighting, Taka was trying to get away from Austin as far as possible. Austin was finally able to catch Taka and gave him a dozen to the head. Austin threw Taka in the corner and did that ten punch count thingy. Taka was basicly a sitting duck for the second week in a row. RVD came in and excited the croud with his fast-shoot style wrestling skills. RVD hit the Five-Star Frog Splash. Suprisingly, Taka kicked out of it for some reason. RVD tagged in Austin and Austin finished the match with the Stone Cold Stunner.
After the match, Austin and RVD stay in the ring to celebrate their victory. Austin grabs a couple beers and hands one to RVD to show they can build a friendship. . . wrong. After RVD took his first sip, Austin kicked him in the stomach and hit the Stone Cold Stunner. He picked him and Taka up and threw them out of the ring as the show ends.

I bought Young Gunz's "Brother From Another" album off iTunes when it came out.

You made it sound funny as hell. Thought it was stupid.

I didn't know Keyshawn Johnson was still with the Jets.

Made this for a friend, I think it's pretty decent.

JerryLynn420 - Are all those real releases or just DJ mixes?
They're real releases, most off the new G-Unit Radio 7.
The 50 and Cam'ron verses are from two different tracks over the O.C. beat. The 50 verse is HOT.Yea it is. It's verse is off South Side. Don't know where the Cam verse is from.
And yeah don't worry, there won't be a Faarooq/Ahmed Johnson feud.
