Dave Schmeltzer

[quick note: I goofed, and did a couple 'segments' I just forgot to take out when putting together the card. Oh well.]

Before Raw officially goes on the air, the show opens up with a brief shot of EVERY WWF Superstar in the ring awaiting New WWF President Terry H. Hogan's first Presidential address. Even guys like Doink the Clown, Barry Horowitz etc. are there. They've spent the last YEAR in the VWF...so I guess they paid their dues, and have improved, as much as they can do so. We see a shot of Hogan walking with The Dream Team, Agent Blackman, Hillbilly Jim, and Koko B. Ware (along with Frankie). Once again Koko is wearing shades that are out of this world. Behind him, Cowboy Mike Hegstrand leads The Angry Cowboys behind the Immortals. On thier way they walk past Sean Mooney and Bruce Pritchard, on the way to the ring. Hogan tells Pritchard that he should concentrate on Managing, and not worrying about Announcing. They aren't so nice to Mooney, however. Agent Blackman gives Mooney a sudden pump kick...they then give him a wedgie, leaving him embarassed on the floor, sulking. They say that Mooney's new job is a little different then what he's used to. They then hand him a broom. And tell him to 'keep sweeping'.

**Brutus Beefcake said he had a perfect replacement for Mooney, and ran into former Manager (of Beefcake's first Dream Team w/ Greg Valentine) Lucious Johnny Valient!!! (Crowd popped nice for Valient. Hogan said, to add insult to injury, former President Joel Gertner will be the colour commentator. Johnny V. promised to 'whip Gertner into place'. A Heel lead Announcer w/ a Face Colour Commentator? Different. New. I like it.

-OPENING CREDITS-

Highlight Reel

-Collision PPV-recap of each of the five matches

-Jake The Snake 'Helping' DWB defend his SMW Title.

-Officials Jumping Hogan-

-Koko B. Ware not being remembered by Gerald Brisco-

-Koko B. Ware landing the Ghostbuster on Brisco, 3 times, causing him the match-

-Soundbite from Koko B. Ware's post interview-

-The New Regime sets the Tone for the New WWF!-

[Matchmaking Angle-Koko B. Ware challenges SMW Champion DWB]

Hogan opens the show talking from the isleway. Brutus Beefcake introduces Lucious Johnny Valient as the new announcer, and Joel Gertner as the colour man. Johnny V. says something short about being on the staff roster for months, and being told to 'sit at home', by guys like Vince Russo & Gerald Brisco. He slaps Joel Gertner around, and pushes him to their announcers booth. Next Hogan presents a New Championship Belt - The WWF North American Title - He says that the Belt costs more than the I-C title to make...which I guess is his way of telling us that this will be an Upper-Card Title. So, that Makes the 3 Major Titles, WWF World, WWF I-C, and WWF North American, with the SMW Heaveyweight soon becoming the Belt for groomed for pushes wrestlers. With their large roster that is perfect. Word is that this is part of their little 'agreement' with regional promotion, Global Wrestling Federation. According to several sources, they paid (Donated )about $1,000,000 to the GWF to make this belt for them. I think the belt will probably go to some of the UpperCarders who to prevent them from being lost in the shuffle, like Lawler, Macho King, Justice etc, or whoever 'deserves to be World Champion, but isn't even I-C Champion. Good solution.

------

**Hogan says that to determine the new Champion, a Month Long Bracket Point System type Tournament will be used to Crown The Champion. After the Time frame is over, the winners of each Bracket would face each other in a Round Ribbon Tournament, with the finals being held at 'the end' of May. I think they are unsure of how long the Tournament will last, so they are just saying 'End of May'. With three shows, I think they have plenty time until May Massacre. They should just call this the G1 Climax-WWF Style. I dunno. Anyway, Hogan is getting real Heel heat. Koko B. Ware takes the mic**

------

Koko B. Ware (Crowd Chants "Koko Sux", B. Ware responds by doing the Birdman Flap...the Crowd Boos even more)" Where are the Cheers I used to get!!! Where is it!!! My Oh My have the Tables Turned!!! Now the power is in OUR HANDS!!! (Crowd Booes!!) You know, for years, I flapped my arms--me and Frankie--FOR YOU!! THE FANS!!! And what did that get me? A tag team with Owen Hart called 'Hi Energy'. Wow. Great. So after being shoved down to the busch leagues, I get called up! I'm happy! I'm ethusiastic! Frankie is happy as ever! I say hello to Matchmaker Gerald Brisco, and what happens? HE DOESN'T REMEMBER ME!!!! He starts Buzzing around, like a damn Bumble Bee! (Crowd Laughs) Well guess what! Koko B. Ware and Frankie are back!! And My first challenge is to you--Dirty White Boy! (Dirty White Boy steps towards the front of the ring) You've been nursing that SMW Title for too long now! Hillbilly Jim was unsuccessful in getting it--he almost had ya--But, Brutha, Koko B. Ware is going to finish the job!!! PHAT TV! I WANT THAT TITLE!!! C'mon everybody!!! (He does the Birdman Flap--In an act of pure hilarity, every time he does the flap, his music plays-Then stops, as soon as he stops. Its in sync. Funny Stuff."

------

Hillbilly Jim than grabbed the mic and mumbled something to Jake Roberts. The end result of it was Hillbilly challenging Jake on PHAT TV. Coincidently, they are in the same Brackets for the North American Title Tournament.

-----

Hogan ended the segment, saying that we would see how 'former' WWF High Ranking Officials were adapting to their 'new jobs', and ended by screaming

Whatcha Gonna Do Brotha!!! Whatcha gonna do...when the Immortals and the Angry Cowboy's CONTROL YOU!!!!!!!! This is going to be some good TV in the weeks to come. Suddenly, The Executioner steps out of the WWF Crowd of Wrestlers, in the ring 78%

Terry "Hulk" Hogan lost overness from this segment.

-Rowdy Roddy Piper Has Had Enough-

Suddenly The Executioner steps forward. He takes off his mask and Reveals himself to be Rowdy Roddy Piper. Few Fans ACTUALLY remember, that Piper was stuck underneath this jobber gimmick since JJ Dillon & Russo took over. Big Pop. Johnny Valient on commentary was going nuts, saying how Piper was never supposed to remove his mask while in the WWF. He slapped Joel Gertner for applauding Pipers act. Gertner stayed silent, afterwoods. Piper went nuts.

Rowdy Roddy Piper (Crowd is chanting 'Roddy'" Ya know Hogan, I've been staying Silent while this whole crap went down, But I aint staying SILENT NO' MORE!!! (Crowd is going nuts) Week after week Hogan, you read the results..He defeated Executioner, That Guy defeated Executioner, This Guy Defeated Executioner--Yea I was a victim of the WWF Suits Too!! But you don't see me crying!! Yea..sure, I'm pissed as hell--But I ain't crying like an overgrown bald low-life like you!!! (Crowd is jumping and cheering). Hogan, I aint becoming a Cowboy, and I ain't becoming a Hogan Lackey--but what I am gonna become is an Immortal Pain in the Ass!!! And tonight, I'll find myself a Partner, I want so-called WWF Great Cowboy Bob Orton, with Stan Hansen--UM--ER I mean Cowboy Mike Hegstrand in a tag match!!!" (Crowd starts chanting 'Hansen' at Hegstrand to get him upset. Isn't Hansen in ECW now?)

Crowd is going nuts. The Wrestlers in the ring gave Piper a long ovation, as RAW went into its first commerical break with the Immortals throwing a tantrum on stage, while the crowd chanted 'Piper!' 88%

Rowdy Roddy Piper's turn was completed, and he is now a face. Rowdy Roddy Piper gained overness from this turn. .

-ADVERTS-They show in the back Gerald Brisco holding up a TV on his head, which is broadcasting RAW. Apparently his new job is 'human TV stand', for the Immortals Security, who were watching this segment on couches in the WWF back lounge--

-New Tag Team Champions are Crowned-

The Perfect Team (Tully Blanchard & Mr. Perfect) d. PHAT

Well, with Slick with The Berzerkers & Kamala, and the PHAT Meanie being sent down to the VWF, I guess this is the end of PHAT. After the match, Big Bossman tried to dance--for the first time, but Akeem, kicked his knee from underneath him. Akeem yelled Thats for hitting Slick, and loosing our Tag Team Titles! I don't need you! I'm a One Man Gang!!. Looks like that means back to OMG for Akeem, and back to Slick. Good for him. But what happens to Bossman?

verall: 61

Crowd: 63

Match: 59

The WWF Tag Team titles have gained in image.

-Jake The Snake Roberts continues the Mind Games with DWB-

Roberts (He is sitting in a corner with his Snake wrapped around his neck" Ya, know, DWB, ever since you've arrived in the WWF with your precious title, you haven't been able to sleep. You haven't been able to eat. You haven't been able to stop looking over your shoulder. Why? Because theirs always a snake close behind. You thought that by beating me, about a month ago, that that was all that you would ever see from me. Oh No. I would be around plenty more. Hell. I even helped you retain that SMW Heavyweight Title. Well next week I hear your going against Koko B. Ware. Will you be so lucky this time? " He Caresses his snake....ugh. 77%

-ADVERTS--Here, they show Vince Russo in the crowd Selling Programs. Ted Stanley is in the Bathroom. His new job is 'Bathroom Attendant'. Katy Jayne, however has been given a huge office and is just watching TV. Her personal TV Stand is Bill Busch.

-Piper & Flair first to officially enter the WWF North American Title Tournament-

Roddy Piper is walking to the ring for his match against The Cowboys. He is stopped by Ric Flair & JJ Dillon. Piper comments on how 'things never change', noting how Flair, JJ, and Blanchard are still together after all these years. Flair says that another thing that hasn't changed is that he was a WWF Champion, and Piper was not. Flair than announces that--even though he's currently trying to get the World Title off of the Mountie, he's entering himself in the WWF North American Title Tournament, because the prize is 'too good' to pass up on. Piper says that he hopes they meet in the ring....Good Segment--already showing the 'main players' in the Tournament. Great way to get piper right back where he was before this 'Executioner' thing [Over from turn 77 to 87 ]. 86%

-ADVERTS-

-Bret Hart comes to Piper's aid-

Cowboy Mike Hegstrand & Cowboy Bob Orton d. Rowdy Roddy Piper & Bret Hart

Piper was wrestling, and looked as good as usual. But It seems that his morale is still a little low, as he really wasn't 'too into it'. Word is that it will just take a few more shows before Piper puts complete trust in the writers again. Finally moments saw Bret Hart run down the isle--bad neck and all-to the ring, right into a Western Lariat by Hegstrand. Bret was clinching his neck to no end, and lost when Hegstrand pinned him with a handfull of tights. Medics swarmed the ring, as Piper was going nuts screaming for people to get out of the way, and help Bret. Very dramatic. Cowboy Bob Orton kept going after Bret while he was down, but Piper really laid the punches into him. I think their going to have a match on PHAT TV. They showed Bret being driven away in the EMS.

Overall: 68

Crowd: 72

Match: 62

Rowdy Roddy Piper was sluggish and didn't put much effort in. Cowboy Bob Orton gained overness from this match--How? I have no idea? But whatever...good for him!

-ADVERTS-The Hebners, Tony Garea, and Jack Lanza are backstage serving food on trays to The Dream Team & Agent Blackman. The Referee that officiated the Brisco-Hogan match (At Collision - Shane McMahon) is giving a bath to Hillbilly Jim's pigs. While, Howard Finkel is teaching Frankie more words. Apparently the new Ring Announcer is Gene Okerland...It must be the age thing.

The Mountie d. Sid Justice - WWF Title - Main Event

Word in the back was that Sid Justice did not want to job to the Mountie. And it was shown by Sid's constant no-selling of Mountie's punches and kicks. Well because of that, he hurt the Image of the WWF Title. Despite his bad luck (with others) Mountie has still been a respectable champion. I guess thats why their bringing in Pat Patterson to repair the now repairable damage. How will Sid be punished?

Overall: 73

Crowd: 84

Match: 48

Sid Justice basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match. The WWF World title has lost image.

-President Terry H. Hogan says Mountie isn't finished Yet!-

President Hogan comes out, after Mounties 'win' and says that as part of the new regime, they'll be introducing some of the Hard, tough, obstacles that they had to deal with as Champions; and that things won't be so easy. Looks like something simply to bring the values up on the titles, which have been lagging latley. Hogan (re) introduced the Gauntlet Match, which is where the Champion has to defeat a series of Wrestlers before he wins the match outright. Hogan says that his 'main man', Cowboy Mike Hegstrand will be choosing the next opponent. Hegstrand goes to the back and barges into Shawn Michaels' locker room. Michaels was busy talking to his 'girlfriend'. (Big 'Hansen' Chant...Hegstrand hated it..)Hegstrand told him to quit being a pretty boy, and get out there and do what he is paid for....Michaels..stunned, started heading toward the ring. 97%

Terry "Hulk" Hogan gained overness from this segment. Cowboy Mike Hegstrand gained overness from this segment.

The Mountie d. Shawn Michaels - WWF Title - 2nd Match

The idea of this match was that Michaels 'wasn't prepared'. Mountie caught Michaels with the uranage at 11:44. Gertner and Valient were great here. This broadcast team might just work.

Johnny V." Look at Mountie throw Michaels all over the ring! What a stupid young punk that Michaels is!"

Gertner" Yea but he didn't have time to prepare---"

Johnny V." A Wrestler should always be prepard, Gertner!! Shut Your Mouth before I shut it for you!"

Gertner"...."

Overall: 84

Match: 86

Match: 80

--ADVERTS--

-The Undertaker Makes an Unexpected Appearance-

King Jerry Lawler is backstage walking around looking for President Hogan. He wants to enter the WWF North American Title Tournament. Suddenlty the Power goes out in this part of the Building. What follows is Lawler screaming in and yelling in pain, as someone is choking him, but he cannot see in the Dark. After about 30 seconds the lights go on, Lawler is hurt...President Hogan hears the comotion and arrives at the scene with The Dream Team & Agent Blackman. Hogan says "What happened here, dude?

Lawler replies; I..I dont' know...his face...was....pale....i think....Undertaker.... Crowd popps. Hogan says that he has no times for crybaby's and tells Lawler to get on his feet, cos he's getting a WWF Title shot. Lawler struggles to get to the ring, while an exhasted Mountie is laughing hysterically, waiting in the ring. Lucious V & Gertner have another funny exchange here;

Johnny V." I'm suprised at Lawler, ya know!! Just laying around like that!"

Gertner" What are you talking about...he was attacked by The Undertaker!"

Johnny V." Shut up Gertner! Did you see the Undertaker? Did I see the Undertaker? And Lawler didn't see the Undertaker, he was too busy taking a nap!"

Gertner"...." 68%

The Undertaker's turn was completed, and he is now a heel. The Undertaker gained overness from this turn. Jerry Lawler lost overness from this segment. (Brian Lee came in as a Tweener)

-ADVERTS-

-The Nature Boy takes Out Jimmy Hart-

The Mountie d. Jerry Lawler - WWF Title - Final Match

Mountie spent much of this match making fun of Jerry Lawler, not being able to stand up straight, after being attacked by 'who he thinks was' The Undertaker...Mountie was hilarious here in imitating Lawler's attempts to get up. Mountie also signaled for his finisher by mocking Lawler's arm strap spot. Mountie removed his imaginary shoulder strap with intensity, then nailed Lawler with the Urange for the Victory. After the victory Advisor Pat Patterson jumped in the ring and started

to congratulate the Mountie...Jimmy Hart climbed up right after him, but was stopped with a stiff Chair Shot to the back by Ric Flair who sprinted down the isle! The crowd went nuts! Raw went off the air with Ric Flair back peddling yelling That Title's Mine, Mountie!, as he Joined the rest of the Horsemen waiting for him in front of the curtain....

WWF North American Championship Tournament!

May 2nd, 1994 - Press Conferance - Live Report by Dave ScMeltzer

The WWF North American Title - Brought to you by, President Terry H. Hogan.

Word is that their going to show parts of this taping on PHAT TV, later on this week. They had Katy-Jayne Meyers host the Press Conferance. Smart thing that they did by having a heel 'matchmaker'. It would've looked very dumb to fans to see Gerald Brisco, or Vince Mcmahon hosting this--with the idea floating around that they were 'fired'. Anyway, Katy-Jayne had the belt, that was made for them by the GWF. It looked similiar to the WCW World Title...except Smaller..you know...so that it can actually fit around most wrestlers waist. Upon furthur inspection it was clearly NOT the WCW belt.

---

Katy-Jayne" Good, Evening. Now we are here to release the Tournament Brackets for our upcoming WWF North American Title Tournament. First off, while matches will be scatterly held during our PHAT TV, and RAW telecasts, our Saturday USA show will host exclusivley Tournament matches. For this tournament, Bobby Heenan's show will be put on hiatus, and be replaced by a weekly Saturday Night's Main Event. And, As I just said, this show will feature ALL Tournament matches. Wrestlers will be divided into 9 blocks. The winners of each block (1 winner each) will then face each other in a round ribbon tournament, to determine the finalists, and eventually the winners of the Title. We are unsure as to WHEN the finals will occur, as we're simply going to take this one step at a time. This is an important Tournament to us.

---

Now, before we release the brackets...many people think that this is a shoe-in for 'top stars' such as Ric Flair, or, Sid Justice, or Macho King--but let me make this very clear: This is anyone's game!. During the next month or so, you will see matches that you never expected! Wrestlers that you never new were still with the WWF will get THEIR SHOT to make an impact. You'll see Cowboy Bob Orton go against New Jack, Macho King go against The Patriot, Jerry Lawler vs. Max Moon--The possibilities are endless! And now...without furthur ado..the rules/brackets. My best of luck to all wrestlers."

--------------

Dave SchMeltzer Notes:

Ok, so it looks like we got a tournament here. A real Tournament. Very G1 Climax-esque. Definatley Dillon Booking here. His idea no doubt. My analysis: The Earlier Brackets are a little hard for me to choose, for instance, Bracket B could go to Hegstrand who they've been pushing, but Piper just got that huge interview on RAW....I guess we'll have to wait for (what will now be a North American Tourney Match) thier match at PHAT TV. Same with Bracket D. Could be Shawn Michaels or Ric Flair, both the best wrestlers of that Bracket. Same with F. Could be Bret, or Razor Ramon...who starting on PHAT TV, will go back to his Razor gimmick. What do YOU think! (Make your bracket predictions NOW before the Tournament gets deep into it). Saturday Night's Main Event will be very entertaining to say the least.

Also Added to PHAT TV:

Tournament Matche:

-Brutus Beefcake vs. Razor Ramon-

-Lanny Poffo "The Genius" vs. Shawn Michaels- Why? I don't know.

Javert: I'm going to be editing this post as the "Weeks" progress. So check back to this post for point standings!!! Let the Games Begin!

EDIT*and yes...I know the NA belt looks like the WCW belt...but its actually really not....and plus...its just a picture. geesh.

WWF PHAT TV

May 4th, 1994 - Fox Sports

Announcers: Todd Pettengill & 'The Doctor Of Style' Slick

Attendance 10015

Terry H. Hogan is in the backstage Presidential office with Brutus Beefcake, and Jean Paul Levesque. Hogan tells Beefcake that he has to take the night off, and rest from the 'crazy weekend'. He says that, for tonight, 'Sweet Bruti' is the one's who's in charge. Brutus said that its no problem, as he'll be defending the SMW Tag Team Titles tonight against the Berzerkers & The Real Americans, and than in just two days at Saturday Night's Main Event Beefcake will defeat Razor Ramon in his first match in the WWF North American Title Tournament (NATT). So all would be 'in control and ready' for President Hogan for next Monday Night's Raw. Hogan leaves, and Brutus and Levesque Strut around the locker rooms, like they own the world...or the WWF. They bumped into Satoshi Kojima, who was preparing for his first singles match since arriving in the WWF over a year ago. Beefcake yelled for him to get ready for the ring, because he was the opening match--Kojima understood not a word. James E. Cornette, who was nearby, saw this and decided to help Kojima... 84

Brutus Beefcake gained overness from this segment.

-OPENING CREDITS-

NATT MATCH

Satosh Kojima d. Jake Roberts

Didn't see Hiroyoshi Tenzan. Looks like their splitting up the New Japan/WCW Tag Team. Roberts didn't seem like the fact that he was about to job, as he wasn't into this match at all. This really kept the crowd out of the match--as a result of the no-selling fans didn't take Kojima seriously--they popped only when Kojima gave Roberts a version of his own DDT for the victory.

Overall: 53

Crowd: 44

Match: 63

Jake Roberts lost overness from this match. Satoshi Kojima gained overness from this match. Jake Roberts didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.

Right after the ring, James E. Cornette came to the ring tennis racket in hand, applauding Kojima. At first Kojima thought that Cornette meant harm, but he then accepted him after Cornette's Promo;

James E. Cornette " Its Ok, its Ok. Ya know for years the Japanese Wrestlers have always been the butt of American Wrestling Jokes! From the Orient Express, to Mr. Fuji, to Yokozuna--it's all been a joke! They paired Mr. Fuji with Yokozuna, made Yokozuna waive a Japanese flag and the damn fat ass is Somoan! (Crowd Cheers, then turns to booes at the insult) Well this man right here, is no joke! And it's about time the WWF had a old fasioned Wrestling Tournament to separte the men from the boys! And in the North American Title Tournament, your looking at the man! You're looking at a man, who wrestled in the same promotions, as Antonio Inoki (Unemployed), The Great Muta (WCW), Kensuki Sasaki (WCW), and Tatusimi Fujimi (?), acuqired all that he needed there, and has come to the #1 Wrestling Promotion in the World Today, the WWF! And as you can see, he is no games! So, to all the other guys in our bracket, Repo Man, Hillbilly Jim, DWB, prepare to be tought a lesson! A Wrestling Lesson!" 89%

James E. Cornette gained overness from this segment. Satoshi Kojima gained overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

We go backstage with Lord Alfred Hayes, as he is with Jerry Lawler. First he comments on the NATT, by saying that he has never seen a Tournament of this magnitude since the old days in Memphis. He then goes on talking about his upcoming mach with the Mountie later tonight. He said that beginning tonight, he will be on his way to becoming the first WWF Double champion, by winning both the WWF World, and the WWF NA Title. Big 'Lawler' chant in the background. 92

The Dream Team d. The Berzerkers & Real Americans - SMW Titles

Dream Team, as usual, were surrounded by The Securtiy Guards that they are now calling 'The Guardsmen', on their way to the break. For the whole match, George Steele kept throwing chairs in the ring, while Berzerker kept freaking out the Guardsmen with his wierd screams, while Slick tried to calm them town. The idea here is that without Trainer Kim Chee, Slick is unable to control his team. Finish saw Beefcake catch Bob Backlund with the Sleeper, for the successful title defense. After the match, Backlund looked like he wanted to cry.

Overall: 56

Crowd: 56

Match:57

-ADVERTS-

[stable Attack]

The Million Dollar Man is backstage in the 'Million Dollar Locker Room' with the Million Dollar Alliance. Macho King is pacing back and forth saying that he is in the same NATT bracket as Sid Justice, and needs him weakened up for thier upcoming match on Saturday NIght's Main Event. So Dibiase starts to plan an attack, but as he starts to plan, footage is shown of Sid Jusice walking by the office, and overhears Dibiase planning the attack. Justice walks in, and is right behind an unsuspecting Dibiase, listening to the whole plan. The Genius, Razor, and Dibiase try to tell Ted, but Ted keeps on talking. Finally, Sid grabs Dibiase and throws him into the wall. Everyone scatters out of the office except for The Genius and Dibiase. He gives them choke slams on the desk, each. 79

Ted DiBiase lost overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

Koko B. Ware d. DWB Tony Anthony

First a heel matchmaker. Now it looks like the Immortals have hired a heel ref. Ref Joey Marella was completly biased here in favour of Koko. Crowd actually popped, and acknowledged B. Ware's ghostbuster finisher, which is something that they really haven't before. Match came to a close when Jake Roberts walked down the isle, and walked directly in front of the ref and attack DWB. Instead of try to break it up, referee Marella started playing with Frankie, and kept doing the Birdman flap! This allowed Koko & Jake to go into the double team, with Koko landing his Ghostbuster at 7:55. After the 3 count, Marella made the quick 3 count, as Koko B. Ware has defeated DWB Tony Anthony for the SMW Heavyweight Title!

Overall:60

Crowd: 65

Match:50

-ADVERTS-

NATT MATCH - Hardcore

Rowdy Roddy Piper d. Cowboy Mike Hegstrand

Well, whoever got the win here was beleived to have acquired the biggest advantage in their bracket. Good match filled with lots of Brawling. Piper didn't work that hard-but the crowd was into it anyway. Finall moments of the match saw Piper nail Hegstrand with 3 consecutive chair shots finally knocking him unconcious for the victory...After the match, Bret Hart came down to a nice pop-Neckbrack and all-and put Hegstrand in a 3 minute Sharpshooter. The ring filled with officials to get Bret off of Hegstrand.

Overall: 74

Crowd: 80

Match: 61

Rowdy Roddy Piper was sluggish and didn't put much effort in.

-ADVERTS-

Ted Dibiase d. Native American Tatanka - Intercontinental Title

Midway into the match, Jerry Lawler came down the isle with a microphone and showed the footage of the very beginning of the Show where Ted Dibiase orchestrated a plan, but was manhandled by Sid. Lawler left, laughing. The announcers commented on 'how long' Lawler must've have been waiting 'a long time to avenge' his I-C Title loss. this just made Dibiase furious, and he took it out on Tatanka.

Overall: 80

Crowd: 85

Match: 69

The WWF Intercontinental title has gained in image.

Lord Alfred Hayes was backstage with WWF Champion, Mountie with the Canadian Foundation and Pat Patterson. Hayes asked Patterson where Jimmy Hart was--Patterson said that he went on a 'little vacation' and said that he--'A WWF Hall Of Famer', will be leading the way for the Mountie & The Canadian Foundation from now on. He said that from now on everyone would have to abide by the 'Mountie Code Of Law', as Mountie fired up his Cattle Prod. Patterson and Mountie, then made thier way down to the ring. 91

Pat Patterson gained overness from this segment.

The Mountie d. Jerry Lalwer - WWF World Title

The Announcers stated that Katy Jayne granted Lawler a rematch, since, earlier this week on RAW..he was brutally attacked, and did not have a fair shot. Mountie was distracted for the whole match 'looking over his shoulder' for Ric Flair, who took out his former manager Jimmy Hart, just earlier this week on RAW. Crowd was into this one big time. This was mostly a old-school type brawling match, which saw the Mountie catch Lawler with a uranage off the top rope at 12:55, to escape the cage. Great Match. It made the Mountie look like a real Champion. Smackdown went off the air with Pat Patterson holding up The Mountie's hand in victory, with the WWF Title.

Announcers: Gene Okerland & Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan

By

Dave Schmeltzer

Gene Okerland and Bobby Heenan opened the show saying that 'If you came for Wrestling Action, then you've come to the right place. Heenan said something about getting tired of running maniacs 'anyway'. I think that was a knock at WCW's Ultimate Warrior. All matches are North American Title Tournament matches.

-OPENING CREDITS-

Pat Patterson is shown enterting the building with 'Good Citizen' Ray Rougeau. Rougeau has a new Good Citizen trophy that he says was given to him by his 'loads' of fans in North American. He said because of this, he will be the one getting winning the North American title. These scene was great, because it showed Ray smiling and waiving to the fans, but they were all booing him. Funny Stuff. Pat Patterson kept yelling 'He's not the Mountie! But he's a Good Citizen!!. 88%

----

The Dark Patriot d. New Jack

Fans really didn't care about this match much, since New Jack was a virtual unknown. Announcers spent most of this match basically just running down the rest of the card. Alot of faces that we havn't seen were back. Great to see that the WWF actually kept their promise to these wrestlers, by giving them camera time. Dark Patriot won by DQ when New Jack kept using weapons. New Jack kept yelling My country, Dammit!Followed by an inaudible. 1 point for The Dark Patriot. On Dark Patriots cape, read 'THE CARTEL'.

Overall 42

Crowd: 26

Match: 69

---

The Taylor Made Man d. Giant Gonzalez

Bad match. But the crowd was responding nicely. Taylor was having trouble getting Gonzalez off his feet, as Gonzales just kept countering with moves close to punches. Finally the lights went out and the only light was on the Titan Tron...it displayed a message that read;

The Boss of the CARTEL is....

The lights went back on, and Giant Gonzales was knocked out. No one knew what happened...except for Taylor and Alexandria Yorke. Taylor got the easy pin. Gene Okerland kept yelling to Pritchard "Hey! Who is the Boss! Who are you guys working for!

This is getting wierd. Anyway, 2 points for Taylor, as he pulls the upset. Annoucners stressed that little wins like this, could mean the difference between winning and loosing a bracket.

Overall 46

Crowd: 65

Match: 24

Giant Gonzalez lost overness from this match. Taylor Made Man gained overness from this match. Giant Gonzalez basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

-ADVERTS-

The Dynamite Kid d. Lex Luger

Power vs. Speed. The announcers stressed that this was what the NATT was all about. Great (odd) match-ups like this. And they were right. This match was way better than it looked on paper. Kid was all over the ring, while Luger was doing his pose thing, which got the crowd into it. Kid won with an elbow drop at 13:22. 2 points for Kid.

Lex Luger was sluggish and didn't put much effort in.

-ADVERTS-

Agent Steve Blackman d. 'Mean Mark Callous'

Crowd popped nicely for Callous. Match started with Callous no-selling everything that Blackman threw at him...who does he think he is? The Undertaker? Blackman however suprised him at 4:22 with his chest pump kick. Callous started having spasms on the mat, selling the pump kick. Blackman looked great here, despite Callous' no-selling. 2 points for the Secret Agent.

Overall 52

Crowd:60

Match:54

Mean Mark Callous lost overness from this match. Agent Steve Blackman gained overness from this match. Mean Mark Callous basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

We go to the back. Big pop for Papa Shango, who makes his first TV Apperance since being called back up from the VWF...and first appearance since under the Dillon, Russo team. Shango was in this dark room with tons of candels and he started doing a wierd chant. When it was all over he ended with "Thank you, Boss..."

Gene Okerland on Commentary" Wait a second! Is he working for this 'Boss' Too!?" 79% ( Shango's new Charisma is 88 as a result of the year of the VWF.)

Papa Shango gained overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

'Good Citizen' Ray Rougeau d. Shawn Michaels

If there has to be any upset in the tournament, this has to be it. Ray, before the match announced he would be putting his Trophy on the line against. Anyway, this match was alot better in the ring than it looked on Paper. Rougeau showed why he is one of the solid veteran mat technicians today, despite being 45. The two had a great match, and the crowd started to get into it slowly. Final moments of the match saw Shawn nail Rougeau with the Rocker-Dropper! But instead of pinning him, he started to dance. This allowed Rougeau to debut his new finisher, the 'Good Citizen Drop'...which is just a well executed German Suplex. Rougeau, after the match, started doing the Shawn Michaels dance. The annoucners blamed the loss on Michaels being 'Young And Cocky'. 2 points for Ray.

Overall: 70

Crowd: 79

Match: 77

Shawn Michaels lost overness from this match. Raymond Rougeau gained overness from this match. The Good Citizens title has gained in image.

-ADVERTS-

We return to the show with WWF President Terry H. Hogan on his way into the Building. He has returned from his little 'break'. He said that he wanted to watch the NATT unfold right before his eyes. Hogan kept droning on and on about how valuable the belt was, until a figure was seen creeping behind him. It was the Undertaker! Hogan thought that the cheers were for him. After Hogan talking, Undertaker picked up a bar nearby, and cracked it over the head of Hogan.

"Tell Mark, I'll be looking for him. Rest....in......peeeeeeeeaccceee." Bruce Pritchard was waiting on the other side, and strutted with the Undertaker out of the Building. 79%

Terry "Hulk" Hogan lost overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

Koko B. Ware d. Tatanka

Koko B. Ware stressed that his newly won SMW title was not on the line in this NATT match. Funny stuff, as Koko put the belt next to Frankie, Heenan commented; "Now what happens if the parrot is a victim of a Stable beat down?"

After a ref bump, Koko gave Tatanka the Ghostbuster on the SMW title, for the victory. Good Heat on Koko. 2 points for Koko.

Overall: 58

Crowd: 71

Match: 52

Koko B. Ware gained overness from this match.

Brutus Beefcake d. Razor Ramon

Razor 'drove' down the isle in a long pink cadillac. He was wearing ten times more gold than usual. He did his "Something happen to my gold...somethings gonna happen to you...", routine to the ring attendant. Beefcake used this opportunity to hit Razor from behind with his giant sheers. It was ruled 'legal' since the match had not officially begun yet. The bell then, rang, and Beefcake went to work on Razor, who was already badly hurt. Ramon tried to fight back...but to no avail. Good match. Tough brake, for the bad guy. 2 points for Bruti.

Overall: 65

Crowd: 76

Match: 68

Razor Ramon lost overness from this match. Brutus Beefcake gained overness from this match.

-ADVERTS-

Sid Justice d. Macho King Randy Savage

Not a bad match. Crowd was totally into this Main Event, with tons of Sid Chants. King almost came to blows with many fans. Final moments of the match saw Macho King go up for his finishing elbow drop...but at this point, Gerland Brisco, human TV Stand, came running down the isle, and knocked over Macho King, off the Turnbuckle! With that, Sid got the power bomb for the pin! Brisco celebrated with Sid in the Ring, as Saturday Night's Main Event went off the air. Revenge on RAW for the Immortals? 2 points for Sid.

Announcers: Lucious Johnny Valient & Joel Gertner

by

Dave Schmeltzer

I had just come out of my closed door meeting with, The Mountie, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Macho King, and Jerry Lawler. Wrestlers like Bret Hart and Mark Callous lost soo much heat over the last year, that fans see them as barely uppercarders now. Which is fine. Both Bret and Mark need a rest. Their condition is diminishing, so a brake out of the spotlight would be good for them both. I know that, with their charisma, the fans will be ready to accept them back into the Main Storylines later on....This is where guys like Rowdy Piper, Hotstuff Eddie Gilbert, and British Bulldog fill the void. Its a good thing that we have talent deph. Well, yea..I had just come out of that meeting when JJ Dillon came up with an idea for a big ratings night, and something that will end our 7 consecutive months of loosing the ratings war to WCW and the Ultimate Warrior. A Night of Champions on PHAT TV. Dillon said that this is exactly what we need to get our belt values up. Sure, the fans saw the Mountie, Ted Dibiase, The Perfect Team, etc. all as credible Champions, but the belts just weren't as highly thought of as they were about a year ago. Starting this Thursday, we were going to change that....Because of the change to PHAT TV'S card, we have decided to change tonight's RAW...for the better.

Raw opened up with Superstar Paul Bearer walking around the back, he saw Downtown Bruno playing chess with Yokozuna & Tatanka and told them to watch their TV sets..because 'The Fat Man' had something to say. Paul Bearer led his men of 'Superstars' to the ring, Sid Justice, Johnny Smith, Giant Gonzales, and The Real Americans....

-OPENING CREDITS-

-Superstar Paul Bearer introduces the Newest memeber of the Superstars-

Superstar Paul" You know for months the FAT MAN has been quiet about this whole Immortals taking over the WWF Thing! Well now that FAT man is singing because this is the end of that bull!!! (Crowd Cheers) And it's going to start when either one of our four entrees win, the North American Title Tournament! (NATT) First, you have Johnny Smith! Pound for Pound, I believe that this man is the most technically apt wrestler in the promotion! He can brawl! He can wipe the mat with most wrestlers wrestling wise! He can do it all! Then we have the Giant Gonzales! The biggest man in pro-wrestling! Plus we have the man! The man that is destined to lead the WWF into the future and beyond...yes Sid Justice!!!!. Ohh..But who is the 4th member you ask? (Rowdy Roddy Piper's music hits). Thats right! The Hot Rod, Rowdy Roddy Piper!!! " (Bearer starts bopping his head back and forth to Piper's backpipe music. Piper enters the ring, to a nice ovation...again.

Rowdy Roddy Piper (Screaming) " Thats right the Hot-Rod is with the Superstars!! Former World Champion for 6 years, Bob Backlund! And former tag team Champion Mike Rotunda!! Now this is where the real Superstars of the WWF are! Not in that run down cesspool of Has-beens in the Immortals! Now let me tell ya something. Ya know, this whole mess would've never started if it wasn't for one person! And one person only! And i'm talking about...'ohhhh-yeaaaaaa', the Macho King Randy Savage (Crowd ohhhs and ahhhs). That ah-right! If it wasn't for that walking throat cancer, and his bickering to get his 'buddy', Terry Hogan back in the WWF this would've never happened! And so, I tell you this Macho King, you had alot to do with me become the great Executioner, for the last year! And ya know what I'm going to do to you! I'm going to do what I wanted to do for the last year. Take that Crown of yours...shine it up real nice...turn that son-of-a-bitch sidewise, and crap on it! (Crowd is laughing, and cheering). Macho King! You got a hot rod on your tail, and yes...HE BITES!!!" The Crowd is cheering Piper, until Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen are on the interview podium, located by the announcers booth. 74% [stable Induction]

-Ric Flair Challenges the Mountie, at PHAT TV'S Night of Champions-

Ric Flair stands on the podium, side by side with, Tully Blanchard & Mr. Perfect, the new WWF Tag Team Champions. JJ Dillon is to their direct back with Steve Corino. Corino tells Rowdy Piper to 'Shut Up, because the Nature Boy has something to say'.

Ric Flair" Wooooo!!!!!!! Now Piper, I don't care if you like to crap on things for your own sexual gratification, (Crowd laughs & boos), but let me tell you guys are wrong! You see...that NA Title? It's coming to the Horsemen!! You see, in just a few short weeks, the Horsemen will be, a stable of Champions! Mr. Perfect and Tully Blanchard, will hold on to thier Tag Team Belts, Steve Corino--our top prospect--will win the NATT. And Woooooo!!!!!!! The Nature Boy (Ric Flair does a twirl), will win, The WWF World Title, for a 3rd Time!!! That's right Rougeau!! Mountie!! I'm challenging you, at Night of The Champions! And This time, NO INTERFERANCE! No one allowed at ringside! Just an old fashioned Wrestling Match, to see who is the better man!!! You see, Mountie! You've been pampered as Champion! You fought in a gauntlet match a little while ago...and what happened? 2 out of the 3 people that you faced were already badly injured! When Jim Crockett signed the Nature Boy up for Gauntlet Matches, it was match after match of a fatigued Nature Boy, against a brand new Champion! Mountie! Woooo! You've been getting all the breaks! You've been getting all the good calls!!! Well, This Thursday Night! The only call that you'll have to worry about....is calling...(He's starting to strut...Crowd is going nuts) The Nature Boy....(Flair rips the microphone from the microphone stand and starts 'beating' on the stand)....3 time, WWF WORLD CHAMPION!!! Woooooooo!!!!! Now Bearer! Get your stable of inferiors out of the ring, The Horsemen have a match! Woooo!" 88% [Flair interview vs. Mountie]

-ADVERTS-

Steve Corino d. Lex LugerNATT Match

This was a little current Horsemen vs. Former Horsemen match. Luger continued his new status as jobber loosing to Corino in 5:55. Luger looked horrible. 2 points for Corino.

Overall: 63

Crowd: 70

Match: 48

Lex Luger was sluggish and didn't put much effort in. Lex Luger basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

-Razor Ramon & Ted Dibiase Ambush Shawn Michaels-

We goto the back where Shawn Michaels is talking to Katy-Jayne Meyers. He's trying to convince her to give him an Intercontinental Title shot against Ted Dibiase; as he sees that he is not quite ready for a World Title reign yet. Old friend Razor Ramon shows up with current I-C Champion, The Million Dollar Man w/ Virgil, and they start making fun of Michaels. They imitate him 'crying' to Katy Jayne. Michaels gets upset and shoves Razor down to the ground. Razor yells "My Gold!!! You touched My Gold!". With that he and Jannetty go into a full fledged attack onto Michaels! The Crowd's jeers soon turn to cheers when King Jerry Lawler comes to Michaels rescue. He yells at a fleeing Razor and Jannetty," Oh you 'bad guys' are so tough!! Why don't you two get ready for a match against me and Michaels later tonight!" Big 'Jerry' Chant. 87%

-ADVERTS-

HillBilly Jim d. Jake 'The Snake' RobertsNATT Match

Hillbilly Jim came to the ring with his slew of pigs. This sparked another interesting exchange between lead heel announcer Johnny V. and Gertner...very strange combination, once again. But funny.

Lucious Johnny V" Hey Gertner! Who wins in a fight between a pig and a snake?"

Gertner(Annoyed)"...I don't know 'oh Lucious one. Please...entertain me...Who wins in the epic battle between Pig and Snake?"

Lucious Johnny V (After a long pause. Kind of shocked by Gertner snapping back at him.)"I don't know either. I was too busy beating up an stupid colour commentator when someone told me the answer...."

Gertner"..."

Hillbilly Jim won this match when DWB Tony Anthony kidnapped Jake Robert's Snake. Crowd cheer DWB big time. Jake was livid to see his snake being carried away. Here, we were just told that President Terry H. Hogan was making his way into the arena.

Overall: 65

Crowd: 68

Match: 59

Jake Roberts lost overness from this match. Hillbilly Jim gained overness from this match.

-ADVERTS-

-President Terry H. Hogan Fires back at the Horsemen-

Hogan strolls down the ring with 20 guardsman, the Dream Team, Agent Steve Blackman, Cowboy Mike Hegstrand and Koko B. Ware.

Lucious Johnny V" You know, Gertner, I wish that Bird came over here and plucked some fat out of your body."

Gertner(Annoyed)"...Yea, well I wish he plucked the Lucious out of your V."

Lucious Johnny V (After a long pause. Trying to Understand the Joke...He doesn't Understand it, so he just slaps Gertner upside the head)

Gertner"..."

President Hogan" Ric Flair!!! You think that you can come out and call the shots!!! Well ya cant! Because teh Immortals are in control!! You want a title shot at PHAT TV Night Of Champions! Well! You can get it! Thats if your 'Perfect Team', of Tully Blanchard and Mr. Perfect can defend those WWF Tag Team Titles against the Smokey Mountain Tag Team Champions, My Dream Team!!! So, Blanchard! Mr. Imperfect! (phony laugh from the other Immortals members), get your sorry tails out here right now!!! And let the Dream Team, take you on a Nightmarish ride, Brother!!!" 91% [Hogan Interview for Dream Team]

The Perfect Team d. The Dream Team - WWF Tag Team Titles

Not a bad match here. Final moments saw Bob Backlund run down the isle and jawjack with Jean Paul Levesque. Levesque had already nailed Tully Blanchard with his pedigree, and was 'daring' Bob Backlund to hit him. Backlund refused to do it, so that he wouldn't cost the Perfect Team the match, and plus--he didn't want to cheat. Finally Levesque spit on him, Backlund jumped in the ring but was stopped by referee Joey Marella. From the other side of the ring came Mike Rotunda, who nailed Levesque with a cranium kick, allowing for the Perfect Team victory. All three teams brawled after the match. Looks Like Flair will be getting his title shot.

Overall: 63

Crowd: 64

Match: 64

-ADVERTS-

-The Macho King Introduces, the Not-So-Lovely Miss Elizabeth-

Macho King came out with Professor Marty Jannetty and The Genius. I guess the Million Dollar Alliance is over, and they're just like a brother connection here, or something. Macho King said that he had a huge suprise, and introduced his former manager, the Lovely Miss Elizabeth! Crowd popped huge...until they saw here. This was a new Elizabeth. She was wearing leather, and she carried with her whip to the ring. This was...Dominatrix Elizabeth!!! Everyone was shocked...so shocked that it took some heat off of the Macho King. Genius, Jannetty, and Macho King were drooling over her like she was a diva. Which...i guess she is now. She looked awfully uncomfortable in that leather, though. King said that he needed protection against wacko's like Rowdy Piper who wanted to deficate on his Crown. I agree.

75Macho King lost overness from this segment.

Bret Hart d. Johnny SmithNATT Match

So Far, the best damn match of the Tournament. Many people were suprised to see the WWF actually doing face vs. face matches to a clean finish. Johnny Smith put on his All Japan working shoes here, going toe-to-toe with Bret Hart for the entire match. At first, the crowd didn't react much, since Smith isn't that over with the fans. But once the match started going, they were actually popping when they were expected to react. Final moments saw Smith go up to the top rop for a knee drop, but Bret rolled over, caught his leg, swept him, and sinched in the Sharpshooter for the win at 23:34. A great NATT, match, and one that put Johhnny Smith, in the eyes of the WWF fans, as...a contender. After the match, both wrestlers shook hands.

Overall: 75

Crowd: 62

Match: 89

-ADVERTS-

They showed Bruce Pritchard writing a letter to Mark Callous. Why we had to watch him actually handwrite the entire letter, i dont' know. The Letter stated that Mark Callous had exactly one week to respond to the Undertakers challenge, of a casket match...if he doesn't except...then 'carnage' would soon follow. Whatever that meant. Pritchard's handwriting is god awful, too. 78

-ADVERTS-

-Shawn Michaels wins a shot at the I-C Title at PHAT TV!-

King Jerry Lawler & Shawn Michaels d. The Million Dollar Man & Razor Ramon

They start off in the back with Lawler telling Shawn that any enemy of the Million Dollar Man, is a friend of his. Shawn told Lawler the same about Razor Ramon. There little bonding episode was interupted by President Hogan. Hogan said that if Lawler's team can pull a victory, then either one of them could get a shot at Dibiase's title. Lawler said he would give that honour to Micheals, since Lawler had his chances already. Great match here, as the crowd was completely into this match, unlike any other match on the crowd. Actually, overall...the crowd heat was really high tonight. Finally moments of the match occured at 14:33. The Million Dollar man, with help from Razor had snitched in the Million Dollar Dream on Michaels. Michaels' swaying arm knocked out Referee Tim White...so they were without a ref here. At this point, Dibiase asked Virgil for his Million Dollar Belt...Dibiase than pulled out a wad of cash, handed the Belt over to Lawler and ordered him to hit Micheal's with it...who was already knocked out. Lawler walked in the ring, and teased a heel turn as he was 'thinking' about taking the money! Dibiase kept shouting for Lawler to hit Michaels with the Belt...Lawler was looking to the fans for advice...Finally Lawler took the money, put it in his tights, and hit Dibiase with the Title for a Huge pop!! Razor jumped in the ring, as did Virgil--as both were leveled with the belt! Finally, Lawler gave the stump piledriver to Dibiase, put Michaels on Dibiase for the lethargic ref 3 count! Crowd went insane! Raw went off the air, with Shawn Michaels making that 'I wanna wearing that belt' gesture around his waist, with Lawler celebrating. Great way to end Raw; with the Emphasis on the Titles.

WWF PHAT TV

May 12th, 1994 - Fox Sports

Announcers: Todd Pettengill & 'The Doctor Of Style' Slick

Everyone was super happy at the news that we finally beat WCW in the ratings war. Whether or not that was the ONLY week that we beat them, it was clear that our 'Angle' was a success. The whole invasion thing turned out to be a success. So I told the boys to go out there and generally 'have fun'. Tonight, we weren't worried about the approval rating (Card Quality), instead we just wanted to entertain our fans...All, at the same time adding importance to our titles, our current situation at hand...

PHAT TV opened up with highlights from Monday Night Raw, of the matches leaded to the Title Matches that will be held tonight....

-OPENING CREDITS-

Todd Pettengill" Hello everyone I'm Todd Pettengill and welcome to another action packed edition of PHAT TV!!! Tonight is the first ever PHAT TV night of Champions! All WWF Titles will be on the line!! And Slick, loads of happenings from Monday Night Raw, how about the return of Miss Elizabeth!"

Slick" Yeaaaaasss Todd mah bruthaaah!!!! Tonight izzzz a nigghhhhtttt of Champions mah bruthaa!!! All tha title could change hands!!!! Anything can happen!!!!"

Todd Pettengill" That's right Slick! Lets get to the ring for our first match, which is a North American Title Tournament match!! Here comes Max Moon!!"

Max Moon d. Black Tiger NATT MATCH

Another great NATT match here. These two worked very hard and got the crowd as much into it as they every could, despite both not being over with the fans yet. Final moments saw Max Moon win with a running Liger bomb. After the match, George 'The Animal' Steele came running out with a chair and brutally attacked both men! Kim Chee came running out about two minutes later to regain controle of STeele. Apparently, Kim Chee 'lost' Steele, from the back. Steele took turns giving chair shots to both Tiger, and Moon. Everytime he landed a chair shot...members of the crowd yelled 'YOU!'. Crazy. 2 points for Moon.

Gene Okerland was backstage with Jerry Lawler. Lawler said that he was glad to help Shawn Michaels win a shot at the WWF I-C Title later tonight, and was looking forward to his NATT match against Koko B. Ware, next. He than dared Koko B. Ware to put his SMW on the line, also. Koko B. Ware who was on his way to the ring, stopped by the interview area, and said he would be glad to. He then, said that he would meet the King in the ring, and started doing the BirdMan Flap all the way to the ring. 'Koko Sux' chant started here. 84%

Koko B. Ware w/ Terry H. Hogan d. Jerry Lawler - SMW Heavyweight Championship NATT MATCH

A god-awful match. But luckily Lawler, and now, ALSO Koko B. Ware had the heat to make the match entertaining. Everytime Lawler got an offensive move, he did the birdman flap which had the crowd rolling. Koko kept throwing temper tantrums, each time. Final moments of the match saw Ted Dibiase and Virgil run down the isle, and jump on the apron, teasing interference. They got just enough of Lawler's attention for Koko B. Ware to roll him up from behind with a handfull of tights for the upset!! Koko did the birdman flap to a very very hostile crowd! Koko pulls the upset! 2 points for Koko.

Overall: 63

Crowd: 79

Match: 54

Jerry Lawler lost overness from this match. Koko B. Ware gained overness from this match. The SMW Heavyweight title has gained in image.

-ADVERTS-

PHAT TV opens up with Alexandria Yorke and The Taylor Made Man in an office setting. Once again, we witness a onesided conversation that Yorke is having with 'The Boss' of The Cartel. She tells him that everything is going according to plan, and thanks him (or her) for thier help during the Taylor Made Man's match last week on Saturday Night's Main Event. I still have no idea who the Boss is, and still have no clue where their going with this angle. First Repo Man, than them, then Papa Shango? All part of 'THE CARTEL'? Wierd. 70%

Sid Justice vs. Virgil - NATT MATCH

Pure Squash match. Actually pretty funny. First Sid ripped Virgil's Suit off. Then he threw him into each turnbuckle. After that he gave him 3 power bombs for the win. 2 Points for Sid Justice.

Overall: 55

Crowd: 72

Match: 42

-ADVERTS-

We goto the back with The not-so-lovely Miss Elizabeth, praticing her Dominatrix whipping skills. Once again, she looks incredibly uncomfortable in that tight leather. And awful, too. Suddenly, Rowdy Roddy Piper appears in the locker room. The crowd pops nicely for the Hot-Rod. Great to see him back on WWF Television. Piper started doing a 'hump dance' next to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, in playing her Dominatrix roll (poorly), curled in the corner in fright. The crowd was cheering this big time, laughing at Elizabeth. "Hump! Hump! Hump me Liz! Let Hot-Rod into your Biz!", yelled Piper at Liz. Did the writers say 'go nuts', to all of the wrestlers today? Well it was damn funny. Finally, Macho King came out of nowhere and caught Piper all over Elizabeth. He attacked Piper, as officials quicklly flooded the area to break the two up. A rather stupid segment, but it was obviously done to advance the feud, and definately the funniest I have every seen since the Dillon/Russo era. 'Hump, Hump, Hump me Liz, Let Hot-Rod into your Biz.'. Funny stuff. But Liz keeps taking away Heat from the Macho King. 68%

Macho King lost overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

Doink The Clown d. Ray Rougeau - NATT MATCH

Purely a Comedy match here, for at least the first 5 minutes. After that the two started to really get technically sound all over the mat. Crowd wasn't into it much though. Finally moments of the match saw, the lights go out...and once again these words appeared on the Titan Tron; "The Boss of the Cartel Is....." With that, the lights came back on, and Ray Rougeau was layed out, in the centre of the ring....Doink went on the top rope, and nailed Rougeau with the Whoopie Cooshin at 7:54. Now this is starting to bother me. Now Doink's in THE CARTEL, too? 2 points for Doink.

Overall: 51

Crowd: 45

Match: 69

Dream Team w/ Terry H. Hogan DCOR Real Americans w/ Superstar Paul Bearer - SMW Tag Team Titles

Good match here, as these two teams always have. The match actually got 'so out of hand' that the two teams brawled all the way to the back at 10:11. Ref Tim White had no choice but to count both teams out.

Overall: 58

Crowd: 60

Match: 71

Shawn Michaels d. The Million Dollar man to win the WWF I-C Title

Good solid match here. The Crowd was really into it, as the Million Dollar Man, with the help of Virgil was able to dominate most of the match. At 11:22, Jerry Lawler came down to Michaels' corner to even up the odds a bit...then we really had a match. At 14:12, Virgil tried to hop into the ring, but, Lawler pulled him down off the apron and gave him a stump piledriver right on the outside. The crowd popped huge for this. Dibiase saw this and started to yell at Lawler...when he turned around...he turned right into a savatte kick by Michaels, which sent Dibiase crashing down onto the ring. Michaels than land the 3 count, and won the Intercontinental Title, for the second time in his career! Shawn got really emotional in the ring, and started to cry...Hmmm. I guess this frees up Dibiase and allows his feud with Jerry Lawler to carry into the Main Event...where they belong. After the match, The Mountie, WWF Champion, accompanied by Ray Rougeau & manager Pat Patterson appeared on the interview podium.

The Mountie" Hey Boy Toy!! Quit your crying and listen to the Law of The WWF! You know, part of my career goal, here in the WWF, is to win every title that the WWF has! Thats right, I want to become the first grand slam champion of the WWF! So Michaels! Lets see what kind of Champion that you are! I challenge you for that Intercontinental Title this coming week on Saturday Night's Main Event! Champion vs. Champion. The winner will be a double champion!! That's right Michaels; WWF World Champion vs. WWF Intercontintal Champion. Lets make history! Whattaya say?"

Michaels" Mr. Jacques Rougeau, The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels will see YOU at Saturday Night's Main Event!! Shine that belt up baby, becasue it's my time! [shawn Michaels does his Dance, as his music plays]"

The Mountie" Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, wait a minute! I'm the WWF Champion!! So we'll end with my music! And hey Shawn! Look at a new dance my brother came up with! It's going to help him legitamize himself as a 'complete moron', haahahaha! [With that cue, the Mountie's music hits, and Ray Rougeau does his version of 'The Shawn Michaels Dance'. Ray is straddling an imaginary horse all the way to the back...he straddles directly into...Ric Flair....."

Crowd: 92

Match: 78

The WWF Intercontinental title has gained in image.

Ric Flair" (After being straddled into...) You know, Ray. For a 45 year old man, you sure to act like a 12 year old kid. And you too, Mountie. I think you've got an identity crises that we need to sit down and talk about."

The Mountie (Laughing)" Ohh that's right...'Nature Boy'. And you...a Nature Boy? When was the last time you were a boy, and what the hell does Nature Have to deal with it. Hahahaha!(Patterson and Ray are laughing.)"

Ric Flair (Screaming)" Mountie!! I've had enough of your games!! You go out there talking about being a double champion! You forgot! You still have a match with the Wheel Deelin, Kiss Steeling, Jet Flyin', Limosine Ridin' son-of-a-gun!!! Woooo!!!"

*With that, from behind, Ray Rougeau hits Flair with his Good Citizen's trophy, as the Mountie and Pat Patterson puts the boots to Ric Flair. Mountie was about to give Flair a uranage, but fled as soon as the rest of the Horsemen hit the ring. 86% [Mountie attacks Flair]

Ric Flair d. The Mountie to win the WWF World Title

Mountie stood in the ring for about five minutes doing jumping jacks, waiting for Ric Flair to recover from the attack. Finally Ric Flair came running down the isle, with a look of determination on his face like seen never before. The match began with Flair getting the upper hand--5 minutes later, thanks to a low blow, Mountie regained the upper hand. Mountie was hilarious in impersonating Flair as always. Once again he did his strut, and 'fell', accompanied by a 'Whoaa!! Whoaa! (I'm falling)'. Crowd was really digging into the Mountie here. Finally at 14:14, Mountie landed the uranage on Ric Flair for the 3 count!!! Mountie has successfully defended the WWF Title! However, for some reason the bell didn't ring. Mountie held up his hand, but referee Tim White kept pulling it back down. Mountie must've done this about 6 times before he pushed Tim White to the ground in anger. At this point Ric Flair clipped Mountie's knees from underneath him, and locked on the Figure Four! Mountie had no choice but to give up!!!! Why did the referee award the match to Flair? Whats going on! Hopefully, these questions would be answered on Monday Night Raw! And no, Tim White is not a heel ref.

DWB stood in the ring, during Repo Man's music...until finally Repo Man appeared from underneath the ring, and attacked DWB with a crowbar. After his victory, the Repo Man yelled 'What's yours is yours--whats yours is mine--and whats ours, is THE CARTEL'S, too!'

Overall: 54

Crowd: 68

Match: 23

Kamala didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.

Overall: 64

Crowd: 65

Match: 63

Macho King d. Barry Horowitz

King wiped the floor with Horowitz. After the match, the not-so-lovley Miss Elizabeth began whipping Horowitz w/ her whip. Wow, Liz plays rough. Fans were chanting 'Hump Me Liz', ala Rowdy Roddy Piper.

-ADVERTS-

We goto the back, Sean Mooney is trying to get a word with The Mountie, so he walks into the Canadian Foundation Locker room. Everyone is glum. No one is signing. Ray Rougeau and The Mountie are watching the tape of Ric Flair, 'apparentley' pinning Ric Flair 1...2...3, only to have the count later ignored by referee Tim White. Mountie starts shouting at Mooney.

The Mountie " You listen to me Mooney!!! I had Ric Flair pinned one-two-three!!! It's right there! You saw it! My brother saw it! Pat Patterson saw it! Test Martin saw it! Carl Pierre saw it! Adam Copeland saw it! Christian Cage saw it! [Each Canadian Foundation Member nod in agreement], and most of all referee Tim White saw it! I don't know whats going on around here, but I want my title back! And this Monday Night on Raw, I'm going to confront that President Hogan fellow, and I'm going to let him have a peace of my mind! Last Thursday night, an injustice occured, and once again--The Mountie has to lay down the Law!!! Michaels!! Later Tonight!!! That I-C Belt is mine! I will become a double champion!!!"

**Suddenly Ric Flair is walking around with his new WWF Title, along with the Tag Team Champions Tully Blanchard & Mr. Perfect, and Steve Corino, along with manager JJ Dillon.**

JJ Dillon" Hey, Patterson...It looks like unlike the Four Horsemen (Ric Flair gives a 'whoooo!' in the Background, while the Perfect Team pat thier tag team belts), the Canadian Foundation, is a Title-Less Foundation! Hahaha!"

*A brief scuffled followed, broken up by random officials* 83%

Overall: 74

Match: 77

Crowd: 68

Cowboy Mike Hegstrand d. Owen Hart

Nice match here. Hegstrand worked extremely stiff here. Word is that Owen even complained about it to the writers. Finish saw Bret Hart run down the isle, to serve as a distraction to Hegstrand. Finally, at 14:22, Bret Hart got on the apron to nail Hegstrand with a shot from the ring bell, but Hegstrand reversed Owen into the ropes, and Bret accidently nailed Owen!! Hegstrand then took Owen's head off with a Western Lariat for the 3 count. After the match, Bret came to Owen's aid, and apologised for causing him a loss in the tournament. Good match. 2 points for Hegstrand.

Match: 78

Crowd: 77

-ADVERTS-

Tatanka d. Jerry Lawler by Count Out

The announcers did a good job of stressing that even the 'good guys' have to fight each other for the prize of the brand new NA Title. Tatanka and Jerry had a good time here, both playing to the crowd for most of the match. Finally, at 9:45 Lawler fell out of the ring, and could not get back in. Someone was holding Lawler's foot from underneath the ring. After Lawler was counted out, it was revealed that the person holding his ankles from underneath the ring; was Virgil! Virgil ran to the back, where The Million Dollar Man congratulated him, and laughed at Lawler.

Overall: 77

Crowd: 81

Match: 68

Tatanka gained overness from this match.

-ADVERTS-

The Mountie d. Shawn Michaels to win the WWF I-C Title

Great match here. Mountie was infuriated that he had lost the WWF World Title 'unfairly' to Ric Flair, and it showed in his aggressivness, on Shawn Michaels. Michaels was on dream street--at 14:22 Shawn started to Mount a comeback but was quickly stopped short by Ray Rougeau on the outside, tripping Michaels as he bounced off the ropes. Mountie then, followed up with an elbow to the back of the head, for a near fall. Finally, at 22:33, Mountie ducked a savatte kick, and was setting up Michaels for the uranage, but Michaels elbowed out of it, only to be caught into the Mountie Slam, a move brought back from the dead (A week chokeslam by the Mountie). That was enough to win the Mountie the WWF InterContintenal Title!. Great match, that lagged a bit, but the crowd was awake for every step of it.

May 15th, 1994 -Monday Night Raw -

Channel: USA Network

Venue: Manhattan Centre, New York

Attendance: 10015

Announcers: Lucious Johnny Valient & Joel Gertner

by

Dave Schmeltzer

Highlights are shown of the events of the last week, where both the WWF World Title, and the WWF I-C title change hands--The I-C title on two occasions. The last clip showed the Mountie 'pinning' Ric Flair, only to have the count 'ignored', then loosing the match, thus loosing the WWF Title. Referee Tim White's big bearded Mug is now on the TV screen.

Tim White said that even though Mountie had Ric Flair pinned, Ric Flair's left leg was underneath the ropes...and therefore the pin was 'immediatley nullified', once he saw that. He said that he tried to tell Mountie, numerous times, but Mountie Kept raising his hand in 'victory'. He showed the tape when this happened. Tim White sent his apologisies, but then congratulated the Mountie on winning the I-C title. He said to make up for the confusion, he would be granting Mountie, a CAGE rematch against Ric Fliar, for the WWF Title, TONIGHT!

-OPENING CREDITS-

-Hart blasts Hegstrand, and Makes an Ultimatum to President Terry H. Hogan-

Raw opens up. Bret Hart is in the ring, with the rest of the Hart Foundation. He looks pissed.

Bret Hart" Ya know, allotta things have gone down over the last few months. I've been turned on by the WWF Suits! I lost my World Title, thanks to a double crossing Mountie! And now, I've been victim to a series of attacks by Cowboy Mike Hegstrand! (Hawk) Well Hegstrand, you wanna play dirty! Well I challenge you and one of your 'good ol' Hillbillies to a War Games Match, at WWF Arsenal, in Newcastle England!! Thats right!! This is WAR!!! But...you know...I got something else to say. Standing behind me, is British Bulldog, and The Dynamite Kid. Combined, these two have seen a total of 3 matches during thier WWF stay! THREE MATCHES?!? Do you know what the problem is? And Hogan, this is to you! Because, as President, you have to fix this! THE WWF IS TOO [beep](damned) OVERCROWDED!!!! You got guys like the British Bulldog who can dominate half of the roster, and who are just sitting in the back week in and week out, forced to twidle their thumbs like scrubs!!! Hogan, if you don't do anything to solve this...then...us...The Hart Foundation...me, Owen, Bulldog, Dynamite...we're just going to have make time for US!!!"

Bret throws down his mic. Big pop and applause from the crowd. 88% [Hart continues feud with Hegstrand]

Mean Mark Callous d. Giant Gonzales NATT MATCH

Yup. When Mark Callous is in your opener, than you know that the WWF has too many workers...Then again, Callous at this point (over=78) actually fits into this mold of the card. Rumour has it that Dillon & Russo purposefully went on a hiring spree for the sole purposes of this Tournament. I think thats giving them too much credit. Callous won after 3 clotheslines. They actually just did the same match, spot-for-spot, that they had last year at Wrestlemania 9. 2 Points.

Overall: 57

Crowd: 70

Match: 29

Giant Gonzalez basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

-ADVERTS-

-The Million Dollar Man Promises a 'life changing suprise' for Jerry Lawler-

The Million Dollar Man is backstage with Sean Mooney.

Mooney Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, what do you have in store for King Jerry Lawler tonight?

Dibiase" Hahahahaaha!!! Well you see Mooney!! Since Day one! I told everyone that everyone has a price, for the Million Dollar Man!!! And that includes everyone! And Tonight, I'm going to show the world, the Ultimate Purchase!! A purchase that shows why Jerry Lawler and his (does accent) Memphis Tennessee (done with the accent) thinking is inferior to me! The Million Dollar Man!! hahahaah!!

Mooney " Well, Ted, I don't care what you bought today, NOT EVERYONE can be bought!"

Dibiase " Really? Ok Mooney. (Pulls out 4 hundred dollar bills) Mooney!!! LICK VIRGIL'S HEAD!!!

**After much deliberation, after Dibiase flashes the bills, Mooney licks the circumferance of Virgil's Head--Twice...for 10 more dollars. Ugh...Dibiase laughs his way off camera** 94% [Dibiase Interview vs. Lawler]

Ted DiBiase gained overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

Kojima Satoshi w/ James E. Cornette d. Hillbilly Jim NATT MATCH

Kojima worked EXTREMELY stiff here. Hillbilly was really getting clobered with some lariats, but didn't sell them too well. Instead of falling over the top rop, onto the floor, during one spot, Jim kinda just like bounced into the ropes and tumbled down onto the apron. Then, just threw himself down to the mat. Yuck. Anyway, the crowd popped only once, when Kojima nailed Hillbilly with his 'Kojima Cutter'. Guess their not afraid of being sued by WCW. After the match, James E. Cornette, Kojima's new Manager, kept yelling at him to nail Hillbilly Jim with another Kojima-Cutter. 2 points for Kojima.

Overall: 55

Crowd: 58

Match: 51

Hillbilly Jim lost overness from this match. Satoshi Kojima gained overness from this match. Hillbilly Jim didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.

-Terry H. Hogan Announces, Sudden Death Matches!!!-

The British Bulldog is seen with Bret Hart. Bulldog excuses himself from the Hart Foundation, and says that theirs something he has to do for the 'Bret Harts' & British Bulldogs' of the WWF...Bulldog looks pissed. He marches to Terry H. Hogan's office, grabs him by his tie & suit, and starts screaming at him;

Davey Boy Smith" Hey Terry!! In just two bloody weeks, the WWF is having Arsenal II...thats the English Only PPV...and guess what!! Once again, as it's been for most of the cards since I've been here, I'M NOT ON THE BLOODY CARD!!! Now, as Bret said earlier, I don't care how long you have!!! You MAKE time for the Hart Foundation, or we'll force time!!!"

**The Guardsmen rush to President Hogan's aid, and hold back British Bulldog. Agent Blackmen, lead the rest of the agents in to hold back Bulldog. Terry, fixes himself up, then proceeds to talk to the British Bulldog, and WWF Fans.

President Hogan" You listen to me brother!!! I know we have an oversized roster! I don't need you and Bret Hart whining to me about it! Do you think that I became the world's greatest wrestler just because I look good? No! Not only did I have the wrestling skill to become the best that this sport has, but I also have the experience, to be the greatest President Ever!!! Now, brother, do you think that the NATT is just here to crown a NA Champion? No way, dude! Brother, I President Hogan, Am Pleased To Announce the Addition of SUDDEN DEATH matches, to the NATT!!!!!!. What that means, brother...is that at any time...during any NATT match that I see fit...There will be a 20 foot high steel cage descending down for the ceiling on the unsuspecting foes, and that will be labeled, a Sudden Death Match!!! Looser not only looses the match...but he looses his job, here in the WWF!!! And brother! That bring's me to announce our next PPV....June 28th, 1994...just about only 1 month away......

**President Hogan walks over to a chalk board where the lay out for June's PPV; King Of The Ring's layout is written. He takes an eraser and erases the words King of The Ring....he flips over the board and it reads; SUDDEN DEATH '94: THE PAY PER VIEW..... Crowd pops big time. The announcers make it clear that details about this 'industry-changing PPV' will be made as we veer closer to the PPV. Wow! Still, this doesn't get the Bulldog a slot at Arsenal. 84% [bulldog attacks Commissioner]

-ADVERTS-

Jeff Jarret v. Ludvig Borga NATT MATCH

Fans kept looking up at the ceiling, waiting for the CAGE to go down, ever since President Hogan's latest comments. Jeff Jarret debuted here and looked great. Jerry Lawler accompanied Jarrett to ringside. Looks like we've got a little USWA contingent here...2 points for Jeff, replacing Shawn Michaels in Block E.

Overall: 72

Crowd: 76

Match: 65

-Brutus Beefcake Announces the return of the Barber Shop-

Terry Hogan was backstage with Brutus Beefcake, when Ted Dibiase walked in. Dibiase requested that he bring out the 'big suprise' he had for Lawler, live, right there in Hogan's office. Beefcake, however jumped in, and asked Hogan if he can host this historic announcement later tonight on his show....The Barber Shop. Hogan approved, as they all laughed into commercial break. Lawler, and new friend Jeff Jarret were watching them, from ringside...on the Titan Tron. 88%

Brutus Beefcake gained overness from this segment.

-ADVERTS-

Cowboy Mike Hegstrand d. Rob Van Dam NATT MATCH

Good action packed match here. RVD tried to use his speed an agility to win his first match ever, but Hegstrand just kept catching him, and throwing him around like a rag doll. Final moments of the match came with 3 Western Lariats from Hegstrand. After the match Hegstrand hung

RVD with his bullwhip, and promised to the camera man that he would win the WWF NA title. 2 points for Hegstrand. This Tournament is getting to it's climax.

-The not-so-lovely Miss Elizabeth helps The Madness score on over the Superstars-

Macho King Randy Savage & Professor Marty Jannetty d. Rowdy Roddy Piper & Sid Justice

Rowdy Roddy Piper came out with Sid Justice and Paul Bearer...Sid Justice kept trying to say something, but once Piper got started he wouldn't stop. Piper kept saying 'Hump Me, Hump Me, Liz! Let Hot Rod Into Yo' Biz!!' Crowd loved this. At this point, Miss Elabeth, dressed up in her uncomfortable leather came storming out with Macho King, Professor Jannetty & The Genius. She ordered Macho King & Jannetty to take care of those two 'Clown Acts', and so we had an impromtu tag team match. Rowdy Roddy Piper was in for most of the match, and was taking most of the spotlight from the man who was thought of to be the 'next Hulk Hogan', Sid Justice. Justice did NOT look happy. Piper was doing all sorts of silly dances and mannerisms, mocking Savage and Liz, which had the crowd going. Finallly moments of the match saw Piper, over exhaust himself, to the point of Jannetty nailing him with a suprise Rocker Dropper, for the victory at 14:33. After the match however, Sid finally came in the ring, and cleaned house, giving his Power Bomb to both Jannetty and Savage. He almost got his hands on Genius and Liz, but they got away, just in time....Hmmmm. Maybe this is the completion of the WWF's whole reshifting of the Main Eventers and Uppercarders of the fed. Well, its about time. It's been nearly a year in the making....

-The British Bulldogs 'Makes' Time for The Hart Foudnation-

Ric Flair d. The Mountie - WWF TITLE MATCH -CAGE

Here, Mountie had a chance to become a double champion. But it looks like his goal would be unsuccessful once more. Though this match was really bland, the crowd was into this match all the way. Big pop for a near Mountie win, as Mountie nailed Ric Flair with the uranage, and went to climb the cage. But Mountie slipped walking up, and tumbled down to the ring. Match went back and forth with Flair actually cutting the Mountie open. Final moments of the match came at about 13:34, when the Mountie not only nailed the Nature Boy with 2 Uranage's, but also a 'Mountie Slam', and a 2 minute Boston Crab spot. At this point, Mountie climbed, ever so slowly up to the top of the cage. Then, out of the Back came, THE BRITISH BULLDOG!!! Bulldog raced to the top of the cage, and met the Mountie at the top. He started pounded the Mountie to a huge pop, until Mountie fell, hanging upside on the top of the cage. Crowd cheered big-time for Bulldog, forcing and impact on Monday Night Raw! With that, Ric Flair, literally crawled out the door, for a very tough title defense, against I-C Champion The Mountie. After Ric Flair exited, Mountie, infuriated gave two Uranages to the referee, who, suprisingly was Tim White. Mountie was pissed, and yelled into the camera 'at' Bulldog.

The Mountie:" Bulldog!!! You want my attention! You cost me a match against Ric Flair!!! Well you got my attention!! You want a 'big match' in your Hometown of England!! Well you got it!! You and Me! And I'll put my newly won Intercontinental Title On The Line, against you British Mutt!!!! And Flair!!! This isn't over between me and you!! This isn't over!!!! THIS ISN'T OVER!!!!! THIS ISN'T OVER!!!" Mountie continues to scream this all the way to the back, as he's being ushered to the back by manager Pat Patterson, brother, Ray Rougeau.

-Ted Dibiase Introduces, the Million Dollar Kid!-

We are on the set of the Barber shop. Brutus Beefcake is surrounded, as always by Agent Steve Blackman, and a host of other unamed 'Agents' of the Immortals. He introduces Million Dollar Man. Dibiase is accompanied by Virgil, and Razor Ramon, who, thanks to Dibiase now has more gold than ever. Dibiase is getting incredible heel heat here. (Over=97)...Both he and Beefcake have to nearly shout over the booes of the crowd.

Beefcake" Now, Dibiase, the World is watching! What suprise do you have instore, for that uneducated Memphis boy, Jerry Lawler?"

Dibiase" Well, for the last few months I've been telling everyone what makes me a better champion than Lawler. Two Words; I'm Richer!! Hahahahaha! And I always said that 'EVERYONE has a price for the Million Dollar Man'! I've proved it time and time again! And, Beefcake, tonight I proved that yet again, when Sean Mooney, licked the germs off of Virgil's bald head!! Hahahaha! And you see, Lawler thinks that he has gained an advantage over me, by costing me the I-C Title! Well Lawler, once again, I'm going to have the last Laugh, and I'm going to show the world..that yes...EVERYONE Has a price, for the Million Dollar Man. Hahahhahaha!"

Beefcake" Well, what is it? What is the suprise? We all want to know brotha!"

Dibiase" Ladies and gentleman!! Without Further Ado!! I would like to introduce to you...The person who will be teaming up with me at WWF Arsenal, to battle Lawler, and his partner....Please give a big Million Dollar Welcome to...The Million Dollar Kid, Brian Christopher!!!"

The crowd pops! They remember Christophers last short on camera appearance where he helped his father in an attack on Dibiase and Virgil....Christopher is doing his laugh, and is wearing an expensive glittery suit, much like that of Virgl and Dibiase...The announcers are having a fit.

Lucious Johhnny V." Hahaha! Wow! That Dibiase never ceases to suprise me!! He has purchased the services of The Million Dollar Kid!!"

Joel Gertner" Oh, C'mon Valiant! Thats Jerry Lawlers damn son out there! He's joined forces with his father's arch rival!! How could he! This is horrible!"

Valiant" Shut up Gertner!" Valiant gets up and walks over to the set of his former Client, Brutus Beefcake...he shakes the hand of both Beefcake, Dibiase, and The Million Dollar Kid...he returns back to the booth.

Joel" What's wrong with you?"

Valiant" I know...I shouldn't had left you here alone. Look Gertner! It's Dibiase partner for Arsenal! The Million Dollar Kid!!! Wooo!!! Yea!!"

Gertner" .... "

He then goes into a grand announcement for Ric Flair, and announces him as "3 time WWF World Champion!." Flair gets booed, but has his fair share of 'Woo's' from the crowd...

Hayes" Now, Nature Boy. You are the WWF Champion. But it is clear, that you have one person to thank...and that is The British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith. If he didn't climb in the ring, and go after the Intercontinental Champion, Mountie--"

Flair " Woooooooo!!! Listen to me British boy!!! There's only one reason why I'm the World Champion!!! Wooo!! And thats because I'm the best Wrestler that this sport has to offer!! Woooo!!! I've walked the line!!! I've crossed the line!!! And I've beat the line!!! Woooo!!"

Hayes" Well, at WWF Arsenal, you battle Sid Justice for the WWF Title. Many feel, that with The Mountie at the same event, he may cause you trouble. What do you say to that?"

Ric Flair" Ya know, The Mountie doesn't threaten me one bit! All he has behind him are all those little College boys, that make up the Canadian Foundation! The Horsemen? Woooooo!!! Now, the Horsemen!! Lets break it down!! The Mountie, behind him, he has Carl Pierre!"*JJ Dillon Chimes in*

Dillon" I haven't seen him wrestle one match yet!"*They all Laugh*

Ric Flair" Then, ya got the Hart Fountation II. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage...I've got socks older than you two! (Everyone laughs). And then you've got Pat Patterson...He's older than all socks. (Everyone laughs again). And, than ya got..Wooooooo!!!!! (Flair Imitates Mountie pounding his chest with the Cattleprod), The Mountie Jacques Rougeau!!!! Well, Rougeau--you maybe be a very fomiddable wrestler! You may be the current Intercontinental Champion...(Ric Flair runs into the ropes, and starts to dance, followed by his screams)..But you're not, a Wheel Dealin', Kiss Stealin', Limousine Ridin', Jet Flyin, son-of-a-gun...Like The Nature Boy!!! Woooooo!!!!!

*Flair's music plays, they exit, to Flair's music* Great interview, Flair was intense. Great to see Flair, with gold. 92%

-ADVERTS-

We return to the back where Gene Okerland is backstage with The Mountie - I-C Champion, Pat Patterson, and the rest of the Canadian Foundation.

Gene Okerland" Mountie...well, you heard the comments from the WWF World Champion. My question to you, is why can't you be happy with your Intercontinental Championship belt? Why must you be obsessed with Ric Flair. Last week on RAW, you had to be practically carried out of here! You turned into a psycho!"

The Mountie(He is very serious here)" Listen to me, baldie! I am the Mountie!! I am the law and order of the WWF! And to have injustices brought up ME, is a tradegy!! Bulldog!! If it wasn't for you, I would've had been the first ever WWF Double Champion! And you wanted to make an impact? You wanted to 'force' some time for you! Well ya got my attention, 'MATEY!!'. At WWF Aresenal, I will put the I-C Championship on the line...and...(Mountie Pauses...) Yes...I want this match to be...A SUDDEN DEATH MATCH!!!!"*Big 'Ohhhh' From the crowd*

Okerland" Wait just a minute, Mountie! You do realise that if you loose, you not only loose that belt...but you loose YOUR JOB!!! In just 2 weeks...are you sure you want to do this!"

The Mountie (Goes back to his usual screaming self)" That's right, Baldie!! If there is no room for the LAW, in the WWF, then thier is no room for the Mountie!! Bulldog, say goodbye to the WWF, and hellooooo to obscurity!!! I hear their's a Warrior running around who would love a tag team partner!" Obvious knock at WCW, and The Ultimate Warrior.

*First Patterson screams something in French, then they leave*

We go back to the ring, where The Genius is in the ring, ready for his match against Barry Horowitz. However, Jerry Lawler comes down to the ring, to a big ovation, and asks the Genius to hold on for a little bit, as he has something important to do.

Jerry Lawler is in the ring with, what looks like a picture album. In it are pictures from his son, Brian Christopher's childhood. He shows everyone a picture of Lawler holding Christopher when he was just 3 months old. He then shows another picture of Christopher learning how to ride a bike. He then shows him bringing up

Christopher into the World Of Wrestling. Finally, The Million Dollar Man's Music hits the system....Million Dollar Man & Virgil stop right in front of the curtain, while the Million Dollar Kid continues to walk down the isle, into the ring, to confront his Father, Jerry Lawler...Christopher does all the talking here.

The Million Dollar Kid" Ya know 'Dad', I've heard what ya had to say! I've seen ya out here with these stupid pictures! [He knocks the photo album out of Jerry's hand] And it makes me sick! It's over Dad! Ya see, every since I was little, all I would here about was, Dad's Wrestling! Dad won this, Dad won that...What about B.C!!! What about your son! What about your son playing on the Memphis football team! Why didn't BC be the allstar Quaterback on his little league team! Why didn't BC take any girls out to the prom!![ Slick On Commentary "Because he's Gay?] Well I'll tell ya'll why? Because Dad was too busy preparing BC to be a damn wrassler! All I would here, is 'uh..Brian, wanna come with me to one of my shows!' Blah!!! Well I'm sick of it! And I'm sick of you! And now, I'm exactly what you wanted me to be...A WRESTLER!!! JUST NOT YOUR WRESTLER!!!! That's right! Your not getting credit for this kid of yours! Because he's yours no more! Now I've got the money! I don't need to hang around you anymore! I am now, The Million Dollar Kid, Brian Christopher! Hahahaha " 86%

**The music hits again. Lawler pleads for The Million Dollar Kid to come back...but he ignores him, laughing, to the booing crowd.**

Million Dollar Kid's turn was completed, and he is now a heel.

-ADVERT Break-

The British Bulldog d. The Genius Lenny Poffo

Clothesline, Clothesline, Powerslam. Crowd popped nicely for the Bulldog. Bulldog, after his match, grabbed the mic and yelled, "Mountie!! Your title is mine!! You've got a match!!! Sudden Death Style!!! The rest of the Hart Foundation ran out in confusion. They couldn't believe that Bulldog would put himself in a match of this magnitude.

Overall: 64

Crowd: 68

Match: 55

-ADVERTS-

Bret Hart comes back out with the British Bulldog, and says that Bulldog has his full support at WWF Arsenal. In addition to that, to embarrasment Cowboy Mike Hegstrand, Hart showed tapes of Hegstrand running around screaming with paint on his face, from when he used to be Hawk. 'Looks like a real Warrior, to me...', said Hart, mockingly of Hegstrand. Obviously another Warrior referance. 79%

Rowdy Roddy Piper d. Razor RamonNATT Match

Really good match here. Another match that I'm sure they'll be showing highlights of, as one of the best/most exciting NATT Matches. Big Piper chant here, as Piper 'got really Rowdy' on Razor Ramon. 2 Points for Hot-Rod

Overall: 77

Crowd: 79

Match: 75

Razor Ramon lost overness from this match.

Bruce Pritchard was backstage, with Sean Mooney. Pritchard's face with peach red within seconds, as a result of his yelling. He announced that he will have the Undertaker live at WWF Asenal, and it is there, where he will make his WWF Debut! The crowd popped Huge for this. Pritchard told the fans to 'shut up', as he didn't their approval. We then saw a clip of The Undertaker walking around in a graveyard. He had a specially made tomb for Mark Callous. 90%

Bruce Pritchard gained overness from this segment. The Undertaker gained overness from this segment.

The Mountie & Carl Pierre Oulette d. Nature Boy Ric Flair & Steve Corino

Really good match here. This match while continuing the rivalry between The Mountie, I-C Champion, and Ric Flair WWF World Champion, also showcased Carl Peirre, a wrestler the WWF sees as a solid mainstay in the WWF...Finally moments of the match saw The Mountie & Ric Flair, as illegal men, brawl on the outside. While this was going on, Pat Patterson, at ringside tossed the cattle prod to Carl Pierre, allowing him to use it on Steve Corino, while the ref was trying to stop the Mountie-Flair brawl. Peirre debuted his finisher, which was basically three consecutive uranage's. Those Mountie's and thier uranages....

Overall: 77

Crowd: 73

Match: 81

Ric Flair lost overness from this match. Carl Pierre gained overness from this match.

After the match Sid Justice came down the isle to a huge pop, and attacked...RIC FLAIR!!! The story here was that Sid was upset about loosing his heat to Rowdy Piper as part of the Superstars stable with Paul Bearer. Justice, would also be getting a title shot against Flair at Arsenal...so I guess this was his way of turning heel. Since Flair is a tweener [i forgot .. But I dont' cheat...I just move on ], fans really didn't know if this was Sid turning Heel, or just attacking his opponent. Finally it was made clear, when the Mountie got in the ring, and started jumping for Joy as Sid gave Ric Flair 3 power bombs, while Carl Pierre took care of Dillon and Steve Corino. Finally, The rest of the Horsemen came to Flairs rescue...With such bad heel turn, could Sid be getting a new gimmick for his title push? 51

The fans didn't understand why Sid Justice was trying to become a heel by turning on Ric Flair. Sid Justice's turn was completed, and he is now a heel. Sid Justice gained overness from this turn. Sid Justice lost overness from this segment. Ric Flair lost overness from this segment.

Channel: USA Network

Attendance: 10016

Announcers: Vince Mcmahon & Sgt. Slaughter

By

Dave Schmeltzer

Saturday's Night's Main Event opened with the broadcast team of Vince McMahon & Sgt. Slaughter. They are joined with Slick, who says he has a new announcment. They always start this show off so wierd. Also in the ring are Slick's Men, Kamala, George 'The Animal' Steele, & The Berzerker all running around in the ring, trying to be contained by Kim Chee.

Vince McMahon"What the heck do you want, Slick! We've got to get started with tonight's NATT Matches!!

Slick( After spinning around and doing a jive' dance, amongst the raging animals ) " Weeellll Vinnnnn Mannnnn!!!! I have requested this opportunity with yaaa to make a veryyyy speessshhaaalllll announcement!! If you thought I had animals, before, wellI would like to introduce everryone to the biggest animal of 'em all!!! The Ulimate Bezerker! Ladies and gentlemaaaahhnnnnn Sid BerZerkA! "

**Out came Sid, wearing his regular vest..but this time he was where a

"Jason" Mask. Hmmm. Looks basically like an upgraded more realistic version of Sid's early career gimmick; 'Lord' Humoungous. Now what followed was one of the oddest segments, but suprisingly shows a character link between these wrestlers. Slick Continues...As Sid BerZerKA steps over the top rope into the ring.

Slick " Datss rigghhhtttt mah bruthaas and Sisttaaaasssss!! Gone are the days where Sid's true psyco animal insticts have to be supressed, by Paul Bearer and Rowdy Piper! Now are the days where Sid BerZerkA can be himself! No holds barred!! Where he can join Animals like himself!! Say hellooooo To Sid BerKerkA!!"

**Sid BerZerkA is yelling and screaming at the Bezerkers in the background a Kamala is running around in the background still screaming. This is all heard in the background, right before Slick and his Animals leave the ring.

The Berzerker (Berzerker playfully yet menacingly pushing Sid)" Huss!! Huss! Huss!! "

Sid (Berzerker playfully yet menacingly pushing Sid)" Huss!! Huss! Huss!! "

But before they leave, Sid BerZerkA grabs the mic from McMahon and screams at top of his lungs;

"I am the master, and the ruler of the World! Ric Flair! That Title belongs to me! 2 weeks away! That Title's Sid BerZerkA's!!!!" 77%

HillBilly Jim d. DWB Tony Anthony

DWB Tony Anthony came to the ring with Damien, which he stole from Jake Roberts about a month ago. Midway into the match, Agent STeve Blackman came out with Jake Roberts, and prompted Jake Roberts to go and get his Snake. At that point, one of the agents held a microphone up to Blackman's mouth, as Blackman, coldly yelled;

Bring Down the Cage! Seconds later, the Cage started to come down. Both Wrestlers looked at each other with great concern. This was now, a Sudden Death Match.

Final moments saw Hillbilly Jim knock DWB into the four corners of the Cage. He then walked out at 8:56. 2 points for Hillbilly.

Overall: 59

Crowd: 62

Match: 52

Dynamite Kid d. Carl Pierre

Both guys worked their arses off, to make this one of the top five, of what has been a strong tournament so far. The crowd popped nicely for a Dymaite Kid moonsault and victory.

Overall: 77

Crowd: 57

Match: 84

-ADVERTS-

Papa Shango d. Rob Van Dam

Papa Shango was accompanied by The Taylor Made Man, Alexandria York, Doink The Clown (injured), and Repo Man--all of which were oddly all linked to THE CARTEL. Alexandria Yorke who was on commentary with the Sarge and McMahon, said that the boss, the person whom they are working for, will be revealed, at the England Only PPV, WWF Arsenal! What and odd Mix. Interersting to see where this 2 month developement leads to.

Overall: 65

Crowd: 65

Match: 74

-ADVERTS-(We saw the Million Dollar Kid, with Virgil walking to the ring. He has replaced Proffessor Marty Jannetty, who was suspended by Vince Russo for reportley get caught with drugs last week during a taping of PHAT TV. What a big break for the Million Dollar Kid. Luckily for him, he's been paired with the most over heel in the company, The Million Dollar Man. In fact, Debiase and Lawler, who are feuding are the top two men in the company now. The writers can officially end this soon at any time now, with both wrestlers benefiting. Then who knows what classic feuds these two men could start off, individually. These two have unintentially became the foundation of the WWF. Wherever the Average fan would hear 'WWF', he would immediately think 'That KinG Guy', or 'Jerry Lawler'. And kids accross America impersonated Million Dollar Man's evil laugh constantly...)

Million Dollar Kid d. Lex Luger

Million Dollar Kid looked great here. He was wearing a suite basically just like Ted Dibiase. Luger looked horrible here. And the crowd realised this. At 5:33 into the match, Agent STeve Blackman came out with yet again with his Guardsmen. At that point, one of the agents held a microphone up to Blackman's mouth, as Blackman, coldly yelled;

Bring Down the Cage! Seconds later, the Cage started to come down. Both Wrestlers looked at each other with great concern. This was now, a Sudden Death Match.

Million Dollar Man and Virgil were screaming orders at Christopher to ensure that Kid remained employed. Luger was just throwing Christopher around; which looked kinda bad, but the crowd was still into it. Finallly, The MIllion Dollar Man sent Virgil into the cage with a wad of cash in his hand. Once in the cage, Virgil Offered Luger, bill after bill, until finally, Lex Luger took the cash, and allowd The Million Dollar Kid to win the match. 2 Points for BC, and looks like Lex joins DWB on the unemployment list.

Overall: 62

Crowd: 71

Match: 43

Lex Luger was sluggish and didn't put much effort in. Lex Luger basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

-ADVERTS-

Gerald Brisco is in the back, where he is showing off his new role, as 'Lowly Announcer', a title made by President Hogan. He was with Alexandria Yorke, and the rest of the odd group of THE CARTEL. Papa Shango was in the background shouting loud rituals. Before the interview started Brisco announced that he was challanging Macho King to a match at Arsenal, for a chance at his job back! At this point, Alexandria Yorke appeared to be very upset. Did you just take up some of THE CARTEL'S time, With your petty Announcement? Ohhh, The Boss is not going to be happy about that!

**With that she walks off camera and A 3 on 1 occurs. Repo Man, The Taylor Made Man, & Papa Shango put the boots to Gerald Brisco, while Doink laughs evilishly in the backround. Well, I hope the 'boss' is happy. 51

Gerald Brisco lost overness from this segment.

Jerry Lawler d. Black Tiger (Eddy Guerro)

Wow. These guys really put on a show here. Of course, Crowd is into anything Lawler does. Lawlerl was especially 'aggressive' here, because of what recently transpired with his son. Lawler won after his stump piledriver of 11:33 of a top notch match.

Overall: 79

Crowd: 77

Match: 81

Lawler, then, had something to say.

Jerry Lawler" Ya, know Dibiase we got this Pay Per View coming up. You and me in some sort of little Tag Team Match. But, I got something better in mind. Ya, see, we need something that's going to put this Pay Per View over the top. We don't need no' tag match! We need a one on one match between me and you to settle the score once and for all! Now, Dibiase, I've got the guts to put up my Crown....against YOUR MILLION DOLLAR BELT!!! (Crowd Cheers)...And not only That Dibiase. I want this to be a good ol' 'Memphis Brawl'. We Wrestle until one of us CAN'T STAND UP!!!!" Lawler throws down his mic and gives a big thumbs up to the capacity crowd, all chanting 'Jerry'. 95

Johnny Smith d. Yokozuna

Another strong match. Smith and Yoko, despites Yoko's limitations work well together. 2 points for Johnny. After the match recently fired GWF manager Skandar Akbar starting running toward the ring. For those who don't know Skandar, He is best described as an arabian Sir Oliver Humperdink or Paul Bearer,` who also wears an eyepiece that (Dino Bravo's Manager) Frankie wore - Except half the charisma of most workers mentioned above. Must be brought in as a result of Gilbert or Pritchard suggestions. He was throwing salt into the crowd and took Yokozuna back for him. Word is that their giving Yokozuna a really Intersting Gimmick. I would say, but I don't want to spoil the suprise. Think they'll debut it this week in Raw.

Overall: 72

Crowd: 66

Match: 78

Yokozuna was sluggish and didn't put much effort in. Yokozuna lost overness from this match. Johnny Smith gained overness from this match.

-ADVERTS-

British Bulldog d. One Mang Gang

They kept teasing spots where Bulldog tried to power slam One Mang Gang, but couldn't quite do it. Another visit emerged from Agent Steve Blackman and his Guardsmen. Finally, one of the agents held a microphone up to Blackman's mouth, as Blackman, coldly yelled;

Bring Down the Cage! Seconds later, the Cage started to come down. Both Wrestlers looked at each other with great concern. This was now, a Sudden Death Match.. Horrible match, but the crowd was now into it, probably because of the Bulldog and the fact that a Cage was now thrown in. Finlly at 7:33, Bulldog got the running powerslam on One Man Gang, to win the match, as One Mang Gang couldn't get up. 2 Points for Davey Boy. Goodbye to OMG.

Overall: 65

Crowd: 72

Match: 52

One Man Gang didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating

Macho King d. The Patriot

Before the match even started, Macho King requested that the Sudden Death Cage be brought down for this match...King ripped apart Patriot, in sending a message to Rowdy Roddy Piper. Savage yelled into the camera "No one messes with my wife, Piper!! No one! Ohhh yeaaaaaaah!!! Dig That!"

Finally at 14:22, Savage won this squash with the elbow midway from the cage. After the match, Brisco, bruised and better demanded to know Macho King's responce to his challange. Macho King said that he accepts!!

Overall: 69

Crowd: 77

Match: 53

The Patriot didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.

-OPENING CREDITS-

-Rowdy Roddy Piper gets 'Berzerked'-

Raw opened up with Rowdy Roddy Piper in the ring to a nice little Piper chant. He is joined with his Manager, Superstar Paul Bearer. Johnny Smith is also in the ring, as he has a NATT match with Brutus Beefcake later on tonight.

HotRod" So guess what!!! Our new hero..'Or So We Thought', Sid BerZerkA has joined forces with people like him; Complete Morons. (Crowd Laughs). So you're now under the guidance of Slick with his Animals, so that you can--as you say--'be yourself'. Well Sid, We never said you couldnt' become a complete moron? (Crowd Laughs Again)"

**Suddenly Sid & The Animals, along with their manager, Slick appear on the interview stoop.**

Sid BerZerkA (Screaming from underneath the 'Jason' Mask." Piper!!! Do you think that this is some sort of a joke!!! Do you think that this is a game!! I am no moron!!! I am the Master, And The Ruler, Of the World!!!!! And Piper!!! It's time for you to be Berzerked!!!!"

**With that Sid sends the Berzerker running towards the ring (with Kim Chee) attacking Hot-Rod. Paul Bearer and Johnny Smith flee the ring, as it seems as though we have an impromptu match here. Piper being blindsided by the Berzerker...damn, thats got to be embarrassing. 50%

Rowdy Roddy Piper lost overness from this segment.

The Berzerker d. Rowdy Roddy Piper

Fans were confused as it was never made clear that this was now an actual match. Berzker went in there and just pounded Piper with blind punches and kicks. At 4:43, Piper started to mount a comeback, but at this point, Miss Elizabeth with the Macho King ran down the isle. Savage distracted the ref, while Liz sprayed mace into Piper's eye. Berzerker then gave Piper his running shoulder block, which was enough for the upset! Berzerker continued to attack Piper after the bell, as did Savage. On the interview podium, Sid BerZerkA laughed, while George 'The Animal' Steele screamed 'YOU!', Kamala kept patting his belly, screaming, and Slick Danced in celebration, as we went into our first commercial break.

Overall: 52

Match: 47

Rowdy Roddy Piper lost overness from this match. The Berzerker gained overness from this match.

-Mike Rotunda gives Brutus Beefcake a Trim up-

Johnny Smith d. Brutus Beefcake NATT Match

Beefcake gets better in his heel roll as the months go by. Kept the crowd into the match, by constantly having verbal battles with ringside fans. This also made the match better to watch. Johnny Smith was great here, boggling Beefcake more and more with his constant countering of Beefcakes moves. Once again, Smith seems to be gaining the respect of WWF fans. At 12:33 into the match, Mike Rotunda, of the Real Americans, came down with 'Real American Clippers', that he wanted to use on Beefcake. Beefcake saw this and starting yelling at Rotunda from inside the ring. This allowed Smith to sneak up behind Beefcake and nail him with a stiff German Suplex, that knocked Beefcake out...After the match, Johnny Smith held Beefcake, while Rotunda cut his hair, to a nice pop. Rotunda clipped off just enough to give Beefcake a nasty looking Mullet!. 2 Points for Smith.

Rotunda" Hey Beefcake! I guess, now, everyone can call you, Brutus 'The Mullet' Beefcake! Ha!"

Cheesey '94 jokes.

Johnny Smith gained overness from this match.

After the ring was cleared, the Hart Foundation's music hit the PA system. Lord Alfred Hayes was in the ring, it was clear that when we come back, he would have some words, with Bret Hart, and The Hart Foundation. They've been making alot of noise lately...

-ADVERTS-

We return to RAW where, Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, & Dynamite Kid are in the ring with Lord Alfred Hayes.

Hayes" ...Well first of all, Bret...I'm sure everyone wants to know, next week, in Newcastle England, you will Team, with Brother Owen, to go against arch rival Cowboy Mike Hestrand and--"

**With that Cowboy Mike Hegstrand's music hits, which is just him going 'Heeee-Haaawww!' in his rough coarse voice., about every 7 seconds...He is joined with Cowboy Bob Orton, as he steps directly into Bret's Face. The two have a short start down, before, Hegstrand, in his Western Accent, yells; "WELL!!!!!!!"

Hegstrand" I got a little story tell 'ya!!! There was once a little boy who wore pink all the time! He had little pink glasses! And he put women's gell in his hair!! (Crowd is booing as they see this is an obvious mocking of Bret) Now, one day, he messed with a Cowboy! And then had to wear a cute little neck-brace as a result of it! (Bret is still selling Hegstrand's lariat by still wearing the neck brace) Now, in just about a week, that little fairy boy that wears pink all the time, is going to team with his little fairy brother--against the two, meanest, leanest, roughest, toughest men of them all! Cowboy Mike Hegstrand, and Cowboy Bob Orton!"

**Owen's heard enough. He lunges at Hegstrand, only to be restrained by, brother, Bret, and The British Bulldog.

Bret Hart" Hold on...Ok Ok. That was pretty funny. Well I got a challenge for those two mean, lean, tough & rough men. How bout you go against the Exellence of Execution, and one tough Bulldog, tonight!! Just to give you a taste of what us Harts are all about!!!"

Hayes" What do you say, Hegstrand! Bret Hart has made the challenge---"

Hegstrand" SHUT UP! You've got yourself a match...PINK-MAN Hahaha!"

Hayes"Wow! What a match we have schedule for later tonight!! Let me go now to my new broadcast collegeau, Gerald Brisco!!! Gerry?" 87% [bret Hart continue feud interview]

-Gerald Brisco's first assignment as An Announcer-

Gerald Brisco has the microphone in his hand, and seems very bitter about his 'new position', in the WWF.

Brisco" Ok, folks. Tonight, live on WWF RAW, I was just handed a note, by Ray Rouguea. He says that 'Because he is in a giving mood', he will be putting his Good Citizen's Trophy up against anyone, tonight."

Brisco seems very uneasy about something. Almost like he feels he has to 'do something'

Brisco" Ya know what...something's been bothering me for a long time. Next week, I go against the Macho Looser Randy Savage for a chance at my Job back. Its time I let the Macho King know how I feel, face to face."

With that, Mr. Brisco marches to Macho King's lockerroom. He knocks...there is no answer. He knocks again. Still...no answer.

Brisco" Oh...No answer, eh? Ok...I guess I'll just have to give my message to the closest thing to a Savage that I can..."

The announcers have no idea where Brisco is going. Finally he stops at the dressing room that reads 'The Genius'. Lucious Johnny V. on commentary starts to yell and scream about how Brisco should not be harrassing Savage's family memembers. Brisco knocks at the door. AFter no answer, Brisco walks in. What is inside is, oddley another hallway. Brisco opens that door...to find suprisingly enough, Stairs, leading to a lower level. Wow, this man is really a Genius. Downstairs is what looks like a Library setting. Books everywhere. The Genius is reading the 'L' section Encyclopidia Brittanica He is startled by Brisco's entrance.

The Genius" How did you get down here!! Oh...Your an announcer now. (Snickers). How may I help you?"

Brisco" What the hell is this place?"

Genius" It's my locker room. Of course. Do you think I would stay up there with the 'normal' people?"

Brisco" Ok...Well, I came here to let you pass a little message onto that brother of yours...Tell him--"

Genius" NO! You see silly goose, that you tell to an announcer! I am no announcer! I am The Genius!!! And so, let me share with you a new poem I'm did. Inspiration is from the Letter 'L'. I've been spending alot of time with it from the encyclopedia."

Brisco" Humour me."

Genius

" L is for the loser that you have become

A shell of your past, now metaphorically a slum

The cheers you once heard from state to state

Now lowers you to the sense, of feeling self hate.

Sure you were the best, But now Gerry Brisco,

You face the fate, of an ingloo-less Eskimo!"

Poffo, then wacks Brisco with intensity accross the face with his clipboard thingy, knocking him unconcious. Genius draggs Brisco up the stairs and throws him outside his locker room. Rowdy Roddy Piper, who just happens to be walking by, sees this...Genius runs back inside his locker room, slamming the door, as Brisco is attended to by Piper.

Piper" Who did this to you....? Genius...? We'll get them tonight...we'll gett'em...." 69%

The Genius gained overness from this segment.

-'Good Citizen' Ray Rougeau repremands Ric Flair-

We goto the back where Ray Rougeau on his way from the bathroom, back to the Canadian Foundation locker room. He is carrying his 'Good Citizen's' Trophy with him. He passes by the Four Horsemen locker room and hears 'partying' going on. He barges in, to see the WWF Champion Ric Flair holding a champagne bottle in her hand.

Ric Flair (greeting Rougeau by putting his arm around him" Welcome Rougeau!!! Woooooo!!!! Wheres that no-good brother of yours!!! Woooooo!"

Rougeau" Get your hands off of me you drunkard!! Don't you realise what this trophy means! This means that, as Good Citizen champion, I am a role model to all! I cannot be seen drinking Champagne, let alone seen drinking with a man, who calls himself 'The Dirtiest Player in the Game'!"

JJ Dillon" Hey Rougeau! You really believe that crap! Ok, well put that Trophy the line, against Ric Flair, tonight! And lets see just how much you really beleive in what you say!"

Rougeau (Suprised, startled, and intimidated) " Ok...! Ok!! You got it! You got a match! Tonight! The Good Citizen versus the Dirtiest Player in the Game!! [aside] I need a plan....

Good match here, as it was all about the brawling with these four. Bret Hart used Hegstrand's own bullwhip to knock him off of his feet, for the quick cover, seconds before Orton could run in to make the save. While Bulldog and Bret were celebrating, Orton and Hegstrand tried to attack them from behind with their whips, but the Hart Foudnation escaped unscathed.

Brisco was wearing an eye patch, selling the knock that he got from The Genius' clipboard earlier tonigth. Genius and Brisco were horrible in the ring, too, but they had the crowd going with their silly antics, and thats what matters. Final moments of the match saw, after a ref bump, Brisco going for the Genius's Clipboard, but Geinus saw him...and the two started Wrestling for it. At one point, the clipboard flew out of both of thier hands and into the hands of Savage. Savage assaulted Piper with the clipboard, and got the quick pinfall as soon as the ref got up! After the match, Brisco and Piper fired back, cornering the Genius, while Savage ran away in frieght. They took turns giving him jabs..then finally, Brisco nailed him with the 'Legendary Tomahawk' Chop, sending him flying outside the ring...

-The Mountie Ambushes Ric Flair-

Ray Rougeau d. Ric Flair - Good Citizen's Title

Johnny V. on commentary mentioned how tonight has been a night of unusuals and warned the fans 'not to pee in thier pants', when Ray Rougeau 'cracks the trophy upside Flairs head'. Mountie & Pat Patterson accompanied Rougeau, while JJ Dillon & Steve Corino accompanied Flair. Flair spat on the Good Citizen's trophy while Rougeau was holding it up, and thats what started the match. Ray Rougeau has proved himself to be a solid WWF worker (much like Lawler and Dibiase) who can always be counted on to put on a good enough performance. Great match, full of technical wrestling from two great veterans.

Final moments of the match saw Mountie climb up on the apron. This prompted the ref to go running to him--when he cleverly tossed his cattle prod in the ring. THAT caused both Corino and Dillon to hop on the apron in protest--now getting the referee's full attention. At this point, Mountie, came in the ring and was pummelled by a ready-and-waiting Ric Flair, but this allowed Ray to crawl to the cattle prod, and bash Flair over the head with it! At this point, the Mountie simply walked over the the ref, and told him that his brother had the cover on Flair...and the ref counted to 3! With the help of the Mountie, Raymond Rougeau has defeated The Nature Boy!. Retaliation must be on Ric Flair's mind.

-OPENING CREDITS-

-Rowdy Roddy Piper gets 'Berzerked'-

Raw opened up with Rowdy Roddy Piper in the ring to a nice little Piper chant. He is joined with his Manager, Superstar Paul Bearer. Johnny Smith is also in the ring, as he has a NATT match with Brutus Beefcake later on tonight.

HotRod" So guess what!!! Our new hero..'Or So We Thought', Sid BerZerkA has joined forces with people like him; Complete Morons. (Crowd Laughs). So you're now under the guidance of Slick with his Animals, so that you can--as you say--'be yourself'. Well Sid, We never said you couldnt' become a complete moron? (Crowd Laughs Again)"

**Suddenly Sid & The Animals, along with their manager, Slick appear on the interview stoop.**

Sid BerZerkA (Screaming from underneath the 'Jason' Mask." Piper!!! Do you think that this is some sort of a joke!!! Do you think that this is a game!! I am no moron!!! I am the Master, And The Ruler, Of the World!!!!! And Piper!!! It's time for you to be Berzerked!!!!"

**With that Sid sends the Berzerker running towards the ring (with Kim Chee) attacking Hot-Rod. Paul Bearer and Johnny Smith flee the ring, as it seems as though we have an impromptu match here. Piper being blindsided by the Berzerker...damn, thats got to be embarrassing. 50%

Rowdy Roddy Piper lost overness from this segment.

The Berzerker d. Rowdy Roddy Piper

Fans were confused as it was never made clear that this was now an actual match. Berzker went in there and just pounded Piper with blind punches and kicks. At 4:43, Piper started to mount a comeback, but at this point, Miss Elizabeth with the Macho King ran down the isle. Savage distracted the ref, while Liz sprayed mace into Piper's eye. Berzerker then gave Piper his running shoulder block, which was enough for the upset! Berzerker continued to attack Piper after the bell, as did Savage. On the interview podium, Sid BerZerkA laughed, while George 'The Animal' Steele screamed 'YOU!', Kamala kept patting his belly, screaming, and Slick Danced in celebration, as we went into our first commercial break.

-Mike Rotunda gives Brutus Beefcake a Trim up-

Johnny Smith d. Brutus Beefcake NATT Match

Beefcake gets better in his heel roll as the months go by. Kept the crowd into the match, by constantly having verbal battles with ringside fans. This also made the match better to watch. Johnny Smith was great here, boggling Beefcake more and more with his constant countering of Beefcakes moves. Once again, Smith seems to be gaining the respect of WWF fans. At 12:33 into the match, Mike Rotunda, of the Real Americans, came down with 'Real American Clippers', that he wanted to use on Beefcake. Beefcake saw this and starting yelling at Rotunda from inside the ring. This allowed Smith to sneak up behind Beefcake and nail him with a stiff German Suplex, that knocked Beefcake out...After the match, Johnny Smith held Beefcake, while Rotunda cut his hair, to a nice pop. Rotunda clipped off just enough to give Beefcake a nasty looking Mullet!. 2 Points for Smith.

Rotunda" Hey Beefcake! I guess, now, everyone can call you, Brutus 'The Mullet' Beefcake! Ha!"

Cheesey '94 jokes.

After the ring was cleared, the Hart Foundation's music hit the PA system. Lord Alfred Hayes was in the ring, it was clear that when we come back, he would have some words, with Bret Hart, and The Hart Foundation. They've been making alot of noise lately...

-ADVERTS-

We return to RAW where, Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, & Dynamite Kid are in the ring with Lord Alfred Hayes.

Hayes" ...Well first of all, Bret...I'm sure everyone wants to know, next week, in Newcastle England, you will Team, with Brother Owen, to go against arch rival Cowboy Mike Hestrand and--"

**With that Cowboy Mike Hegstrand's music hits, which is just him going 'Heeee-Haaawww!' in his rough coarse voice., about every 7 seconds...He is joined with Cowboy Bob Orton, as he steps directly into Bret's Face. The two have a short start down, before, Hegstrand, in his Western Accent, yells; "WELL!!!!!!!"

Hegstrand" I got a little story tell 'ya!!! There was once a little boy who wore pink all the time! He had little pink glasses! And he put women's gell in his hair!! (Crowd is booing as they see this is an obvious mocking of Bret) Now, one day, he messed with a Cowboy! And then had to wear a cute little neck-brace as a result of it! (Bret is still selling Hegstrand's lariat by still wearing the neck brace) Now, in just about a week, that little fairy boy that wears pink all the time, is going to team with his little fairy brother--against the two, meanest, leanest, roughest, toughest men of them all! Cowboy Mike Hegstrand, and Cowboy Bob Orton!"

**Owen's heard enough. He lunges at Hegstrand, only to be restrained by, brother, Bret, and The British Bulldog.

Bret Hart" Hold on...Ok Ok. That was pretty funny. Well I got a challenge for those two mean, lean, tough & rough men. How bout you go against the Exellence of Execution, and one tough Bulldog, tonight!! Just to give you a taste of what us Harts are all about!!!"

Hayes" What do you say, Hegstrand! Bret Hart has made the challenge---"

Hegstrand" SHUT UP! You've got yourself a match...PINK-MAN Hahaha!"

Hayes"Wow! What a match we have schedule for later tonight!! Let me go now to my new broadcast collegeau, Gerald Brisco!!! Gerry?" 87% [bret Hart continue feud interview]

-Gerald Brisco's first assignment as An Announcer-

Gerald Brisco has the microphone in his hand, and seems very bitter about his 'new position', in the WWF.

Brisco" Ok, folks. Tonight, live on WWF RAW, I was just handed a note, by Ray Rouguea. He says that 'Because he is in a giving mood', he will be putting his Good Citizen's Trophy up against anyone, tonight."

Brisco seems very uneasy about something. Almost like he feels he has to 'do something'

Brisco" Ya know what...something's been bothering me for a long time. Next week, I go against the Macho Looser Randy Savage for a chance at my Job back. Its time I let the Macho King know how I feel, face to face."

With that, Mr. Brisco marches to Macho King's lockerroom. He knocks...there is no answer. He knocks again. Still...no answer.

Brisco" Oh...No answer, eh? Ok...I guess I'll just have to give my message to the closest thing to a Savage that I can..."

The announcers have no idea where Brisco is going. Finally he stops at the dressing room that reads 'The Genius'. Lucious Johnny V. on commentary starts to yell and scream about how Brisco should not be harrassing Savage's family memembers. Brisco knocks at the door. AFter no answer, Brisco walks in. What is inside is, oddley another hallway. Brisco opens that door...to find suprisingly enough, Stairs, leading to a lower level. Wow, this man is really a Genius. Downstairs is what looks like a Library setting. Books everywhere. The Genius is reading the 'L' section Encyclopidia Brittanica He is startled by Brisco's entrance.

The Genius" How did you get down here!! Oh...Your an announcer now. (Snickers). How may I help you?"

Brisco" What the hell is this place?"

Genius" It's my locker room. Of course. Do you think I would stay up there with the 'normal' people?"

Brisco" Ok...Well, I came here to let you pass a little message onto that brother of yours...Tell him--"

Genius" NO! You see silly goose, that you tell to an announcer! I am no announcer! I am The Genius!!! And so, let me share with you a new poem I'm did. Inspiration is from the Letter 'L'. I've been spending alot of time with it from the encyclopedia."

Brisco" Humour me."

Genius

" L is for the loser that you have become

A shell of your past, now metaphorically a slum

The cheers you once heard from state to state

Now lowers you to the sense, of feeling self hate.

Sure you were the best, But now Gerry Brisco,

You face the fate, of an ingloo-less Eskimo!"

Poffo, then wacks Brisco with intensity accross the face with his clipboard thingy, knocking him unconcious. Genius draggs Brisco up the stairs and throws him outside his locker room. Rowdy Roddy Piper, who just happens to be walking by, sees this...Genius runs back inside his locker room, slamming the door, as Brisco is attended to by Piper.

Piper" Who did this to you....? Genius...? We'll get them tonight...we'll gett'em...." 69%

The Genius gained overness from this segment.

We goto the back where Ray Rougeau on his way from the bathroom, back to the Canadian Foundation locker room. He is carrying his 'Good Citizen's' Trophy with him. He passes by the Four Horsemen locker room and hears 'partying' going on. He barges in, to see the WWF Champion Ric Flair holding a champagne bottle in her hand.

Ric Flair (greeting Rougeau by putting his arm around him" Welcome Rougeau!!! Woooooo!!!! Wheres that no-good brother of yours!!! Woooooo!"

Rougeau" Get your hands off of me you drunkard!! Don't you realise what this trophy means! This means that, as Good Citizen champion, I am a role model to all! I cannot be seen drinking Champagne, let alone seen drinking with a man, who calls himself 'The Dirtiest Player in the Game'!"

JJ Dillon" Hey Rougeau! You really believe that crap! Ok, well put that Trophy the line, against Ric Flair, tonight! And lets see just how much you really beleive in what you say!"

Rougeau (Suprised, startled, and intimidated) " Ok...! Ok!! You got it! You got a match! Tonight! The Good Citizen versus the Dirtiest Player in the Game!! [aside] I need a plan.... [/aside]" Ray Rougeau ran to the Mountie to tell him what just happened. Mountie told him to tell him on the way to the ring. The Mountie's match was next...86%

24th, May 1994

Shawn Michaels Assumes WWF Leadership-

Vince McMahon and Bobby The Brain Heenan are standing up in the middle of the ring, as thousands of fans scream and cheer for the beginning of PHAT TV.

Vince McMahon" Hello everyone I'm Vince McMahon, with Bobby Heenan, and I can't believe it Brain! It's you and me again!! Live from the Manchester Evening News Arena!!"

Heenan" Ok first, of all, I'm Bobby The Brain Heenan!! What...do you think this Brain thing is just a gimmick? And Vince, I've got some big news about Arsenal II, this weekend live from the Telecast Arena, in Newcastle!"

McMahon" Just what do you know, Brain!"

Heenan" Well, check this out! Being the savy broadcast journalist that I am...I found out that the Main Event has been changed!!That's right...President Terry H. Hogan has ordered, that this war between the Mountie and Ric Flair has got to stop! And he ordered them to do it in the Cage! For the WWF Intercontinental Championship!!"

McMahon" That's unbelievable, Brain! I guess the immortals are your kinda guys, eh?"

Heenan" Shut up McMahon, I was talking! Now...I know what you're wondering! 'This isn't Fair to The Mountie!'....'He's defending his championship at Arsenal II, and Ric Flair isn't!! Isn't that what you were wondering, McMahon?"

McMahon" Well, actually...I--"

Heenan" Quit interrupting me, McMahon! Ok, well as I was saying, Ric Flair is not going to get off so easily! Because tonight...Ric Flair defends WWF Gold! Getting a shot, is 'The Bad Guy', Razor Ramon!!"

McMahon" Wow! Razor Ramon against 'The Nature Boy', right here in Manchester, England! *McMahon pauses, it seems like someone is telling him something in his earpiece*"

Vince McMahon" Yes...I've just been told, that Sean Mooney is in the backstage area, where Shawn Michaels as put together some sort of, 'Meeting'....."

**Sean Mooney is in a meeting room, where Shawn Michaels is talking to all of the faces of the company**

Shawn Michaels" Alright, guys. Now if ya look back at the last few months, this Immortals regime in the WWF has not been very favourable to most of us in this room. Now RAzor Ramon's got a title shot tonight...Now, some may say I'm just bringing this up just because I'm 'Jealous'. But I think I speak for everyone here, when I say, WHY RAZOR!! What has he done to get that title shot? He lost his NATT Match against Brutus Beefcake. He lost his match before that. So what has he done! Ohh that's right...he's friends with the Macho King. Who started this whole mess, by making a big stink about Hogan leaving in the first place! Ya, see, I don't like the way that goes. So someone's gonna have to step up to even up the odds! And...now...as my first act, to show that I am willing to accept the leadership role for all of you! I would like to nominate...to go against President Terry Hogan for the WWF Presidency......MR. FUJI!!!"

**After a considerably long moment of complete silence, everyone started cracking up in the locker room. Everyone...except for Mr. Fuji that is. Mr. Fuji was waddling up to to the podium with a big smile on his face shaking Shawn Michael's hands, and waiving to all of the other wrestlers....Are they serious? 89% [shawn Michaels self promotion interview]

-SGT. Slaughter Supports HBK-

**Everyone's laughter was abruptly ended as Sgt. Slaughter got up, and started to applaud Mr. Fuji. Everyone stopped and looked at Slaughter in confusion...then joined him in applauding the 48 year-old Legendary WWF Figure. Suddenly JJ Dillon, Manager of the Horsemen bursts into the meeting room, with 1/2 of the WWF Tag Team Champions-Tully Blanchard, both laughing.

JJ Dillon" Hahaha!! I just saw your 'great idea' for WWF President! Well guess what! If you guys think you can just 'name' someone, then I got another name for you!! James J. Dillon!! That's right! It's about we get a President that knows what he's doing! By someone whose success with the Four Horsemen, who is known As the Greatest Mind in The Game! Me!! I'm not some balded headed ego maniac, or some nutty wrestler-turned unsuccesfful manager--I'm James J. Dillon!!! The Mastermind!!"

**Suddennly Sgt. Slaughter snaps back at JJ Dillon**

Sgt. Slaughter(Yelling like a Drill Sargeant) "James J. Dillon you filthy scum!! I never liked you in the first place!!! We all know what you and your dirty Horsemen are all about! And we know you would love to keep that WWF Title around Ric Flair's waiste forever! Well, we're not going to let that happen! (Everyone in the background screams 'YEA!') Mr. Fuji stands for good! He stands for making this sport a better place for everyone! Not by selfish standards as yourself Dillon!!! Get out of My Lockeroom Maggot!!! "

With the elimination portion of the Tournament coming up, it'll be interesting to see how far Blackman makes it, if he even wins his bracket, which he is now. Blackman nailed Kamala with the chest pump kick in 19.43 seconds. They are doing a new gimmick where Manager, Terry H. Hogan, brings a stopwatch with him to the ring, to time Blackman's matches.

Shawn Michaels is in the back and bumps into Tully Blanchard, who is holding his WWF Tag Team Belt. Crowd pops for Blanchard, as once again, they respect him.

Shawn Michaels" Yo!!! Yo!! Tully, man! Whats up man! Hey, whats gotten into JJ."

Blanchard" ARe you serious? Don't you see whats happening to this promotion! We have to stop it from falling into the controle of young punks like you! And from egotistical people like President Hogan!" (Crowd now starts to boo Blanchard.) Suddenly, Michaels' fervor turned into anger.

Michaels" Ya Know! Tully-Man! I see that Belt on the Shoulder, and can't decide which is older-It's Owner, or The Belt! How bout I get a partner from around here, and you and Mr. Perfect put those titles on the line."

**Tully, after a blank stare at Michaels, made a really nasty noise with hist throat, and pelted Michaels on the nose with a huge wad of spit. He walked off, seemingly legitimately angry. JJ Dillon Had to scream, You're on Michaels!, on his way to chasing Blanchard. Seems like Blanchard really didn't like Michaels' little age joke, and he let Michaels have it. This took alot of heat off of Shawn, as he looked, 'as the leader of the WWF', like a moron cleaning spit off of his nose. 74%

Tully Blanchard's turn was completed, and he is now a heel. Tully Blanchard gained overness from this segment. Shawn Michaels lost overness from this segment.

Dark Patriot d. The British BulldogNATT Match

Bulldog got a nice responce in his native land. Too bad he had to loose. At 12:00 of a solid match, New Jack came running out of the back with a baseball bat. The idea with New Jacks infactuation with the Dark Patriot, is that he demands that Dark Patriot change his 'image' to show respect for 'his country'. When New Jack ran to the ring, he was quickly stopped by referee Joey Marella. He dropped the bat in the ring, where Dark Patriot saw it first, and used it on the British Bulldog behind the refs back. After New Jack was tripped up, fellow CARTEL MEMBER, Repo Man, at ringside, the referee returned to the match, and counted the 3 count on a knocked out British Bulldog. Repo Man's and Dark Patriot' ring outfit looks almost identical. Except, Dark Patriot has more of a mask. 2 Points for the Dark Patriot.

I saw the leader, Sarge!! Shawn, you've given me the boost I needed to go out there, and fight for whats right! Tonight, may our WWF Tag Team Title win, be the first, of many successful paths, that we will cross together!!"

Michaels" Ya, know, Sarge. I used to watch ya' as a Kid, I've seen all your classic matches, and man, to have you by my side is a huge inspiration to me..."

Slaughter" There's just one thing that I ask, soldier!! No more dancing!!"

The Million Dollar Kid d. The Dynamite KidNATT Match

Great match here. These two really dazzled the crowd with some of thier hi flying moves. At 15:32 into the match, after a ref bump, Lawler came running down the isle, and started arguing with Christopher, right there in the middle of the winner. Christopher got upset and handed Lawler brass knux, and was daring him to hit him. Lawler kept teasing hitting Christphor. 90 seconds later, Dynamite Kid tapped Lawler on the shoulder--but Lawler's reflexes caused him to respond by strikiing Dynamite kid with the knux. At this point, the ref woke up, and Christopher literrally jumped on top of Dynamite for the cheap victory! At this point, Ted Dibiase ran down the isle and ordered for Lawler to 'get out of here'.

President Hogan was about to announce that a Sudden Death List would be released at the WWF PPV, Arsenal II, this weekend, siting those who were immediately fired from the WWF. The Crowd booed, as the announcers played this off as Hogan 'abusing' his power, yet again. At this point there was a nutty strike at the door. Everyone looked over. Nothing. Hogan started to talk again, until this time A giant Sword was plunged through his door! It was the Berzerker's. At that point George 'The Animal' Steele plunged himself thought the door, allowing Kamala to run a rampage right into the Guardsmen. Berzerker joined in the attack of the Guardsman. Agent Blackman ushers Hogan away as they escape by running through the door, admist the mayem. Slick jumps on the desk and starts tap dancing on President Hogan's desk and announces Sid.

Slick" Ladiesssssss And gentlemennnn!!! Put yo' hands together for The Ultimate Berzerker!....Put yo' hands together To tha Man that rulzz da world!!!, Sid The Berzerker!!"

**Now they are calling him Sid the Berzerker. In strolled Sid The Berzerker without his Jason Mask. Instead he was wearing a red cape , which made him look, kinda like 'He-Man'. I guess they're actually giving Sid a Viking gimmick, too. Sid was also holding, just like the Berzerker, a Sword and a Sheild .

Sid The Berzerker (Screaming - He is standing directly in front of Slick The Doctor Of Style, who's still tap dancing on top of the desk)" I am The Master and The Ruler of the World!!!

Heenan had some pretty stuff about the last segment. He told McMahon that his wife would fit right in with that group...Anyway, good match here crowd was totally into the combination of Slaughter. Announcers are trying to build this as a veteran like Slaughter taking Michaels 'under his wing'. Final moments saw Razor Ramon stroll down the isle. Right when Razor came down the isle, Mr. Perfect got Shawn Michaels in the Perfect Plex. But the ref jumped out to the ring, to usher Razor away. At this point, Slaughter jumped in the ring and struck Perfect in the ribs with his baton! Crowd popped big for this. He then struck, Blanchard with it, and put Perfect in the Camel Clutch. By this time Razor was already near the curtain. Shawn Michaels, then recovered, and nailed Perfect with the rocker dropper to win the WWF Tag Team Titles!!! Razor was by the curtain, having a temper tantrum, upset that he actually helped Michaels win the Tag Team Gold. Michaels jumped up continuously in celebration, leaping into Slaughters arms with his hands held high. Michaels started to dance, but each time he did--Slaughter smacked him, and got him to stop. Shawn Michaels and Sgt. Slaughter are the new Tag Team Champions.

Ric Flair d. Razor Ramon - WWF World Championship

Great match all around here. Great heat. Awesome action. At 12:33, when Flair had the upperhand, he went to the outside, and put on Razor Ramon's gold whilst doing a strut around the ring. This got the English crowd pumped up. Finally at Razor through Ric Flair into the turnbuckle and was about to nail him with a clothesline, at 16:42 into the match. But Flair, pulled the referee in the way, causing the ref to get bumped to the outside. Shawn Michaels hopped in the ring with his WWF Tag Team Title, and was aiming on wacking Razor with the Belt. Flair just watched, sitting on top of the turnbuckle. Finally, when Razor got up Michaels nailed him, to a big pop from the crowd. After Michaels left, Flair administered the Figure Four, for the submission Victory. Mountie ran down the isle, to tell him what happened, but was quickly stopped by a right jab from Ric Flair. This prompted a brawl, taking England's PHAT TV, off the air.

WWF Saturday Night's Main Event

- The Arsenal II Tour -

Royal Albert Hall - 29th May

Announcers: Vince McMahon & Bruce Pritchard

by Dave Schmeltzer

Well it looks like McMahon took all of the announcing duties for this

England tour. McMahon announced that after the England Tour, the WWF would then have a France Tour. Broadcasting the first week of June's, RAW, PHAT TV, and Saturday Night's Main Event! Wow!!! And Yes!!! We will be covering those shows!!! Uh..anyway Bruce Pritchard starting yelling about us being '1 day away', from the debut of the Undertaker! Vince said he wanted to know who the boss of THE CARTEL was. Pritchard said 'You're just going to have to wait and see, just like all of these Stupid People!!. Ouch. It's always fun watching Pritchards face get beat red after just 2 minutes of talking....

The Dream Team d. The Perfect Team by DQ - SMW Tag Team Tournament

Good match here. At 8:45 we saw Tully Blanchard and Jean Paul go at it in a brawl like no other. Tully showed why he's almost 50, and can still hang with the big boys. Levesque showed that he can work with almost anyone in the ring. Crowd was really into it because basically of the two heels going at it. Final moments of the match saw Bob Backlund run down the isle, and laugh at Beefcae for having a Mullet, thanks to Mike Rotunda! The ref disqualified The Perfect Team right away for Backlund's interferance.

Overall: 64

Crowd: 65

Match: 63

Tully Blanchard gained overness from this match. Jean Paul Levesque gained overness from this match.

We go to the back where Slick is with the Berzerker & Sid The Conquerer, and now apparently The Warlord, whose roll in this stable will just be jobber. It looks like they made the decision to pair Slick with this 'Viking' stable, while Kim Chee will handle George The Animal Steel and Kamala. That seems just about right. The Berzerker is standing up yelling 'Huss' as Slick cuts a promo for him. OH...and yes, Sid The Conquerer is wearing a cape...and now Also has some sort of metallic chest protecter. I think they ARE trying to make Sid look more and more like HE-MAN.

" Ladiieeeeeessss anndddddd Gentttlllllllmeaaaan!!! The man that stands right next to me yeaaaarrns to be heard!!!! He comes from the world of Vikings', where Survival is the nameee of the gaaaammmmmeeeee!!!!!! The Berzerker!!! And Tommorow Night! At the Telecase Arena!! My Man the Berzerker challenges, YOU, KOKO B. Ware!!! We Want that SMW Title!!! The Berzerker wants that SMW Title!!!"

*They walk out with the Berzerker yelling 'Huss', and with Sid The Conquerer laughing in the background. They keep changing Sid's name by the second. Word is that they've decided on Sid The Conquerer. *

Tatanka d. Black Tiger NATT MATCH

After Tatanka got the victory, in what was a very solid match, the lights went out. For about 30 seconds their was silence. Until we heard....*GONG*....*GONG*....*GONG*. Witht that the lights came back on, and The Undertaker Brian Lee was directly behind Tatanka. Tatanka had no idea, until The Undertaker grabbed Tatanka by the throat and choked without letting go. Officials tried to get the Undertaker off, but it was no use. Finally, McMahon kept yelling at Pritchard to 'do something', and Pritchard left the announcers booth...as he was the only one that could 'controle', the Undertaker....Pritchard grabbed the microphone, as The Undertaker stood, placid, with his eyes rolled in back of his head.

Overall: 71

Crowd: 64

Match: 78

Bruce Pritchard (His face is red already)" Well, I told you the day would come, when the Undertaker would be here!!! I warned everyone that he was coming!! I warned everyone that The Prince of Prime Time, The Lord Of Darkness would once again Rise!!!! (Hmmmm. Looks like Brian Lee wanted to at least keep his 'Prime Time' nickname)

Tatanka!!! That was just a taste of what you'll get tommorow night, Live on PPV at Arsenal!!! If...if you make it to Arsenal!!! HAHAAHAAHAHAA!!!! Ladies and gentleman!!! I give you! The Undertaker -- Where it's Prime Time all day long!!!!" (He holds up the microphone to The Undertaker)

The Undertaker" Rest......innn......Peaaacccccccccceeeeee" The Gongs start, and Bruce Pritchard leads the Undertaker to the back.

We return to the Royal Albert Hall, where there is a space set up from Piper's Pit. However, Macho King comes out with Elizabeth, upset that Piper has his own show. King proceeds to destroying the set, which isn't hard to do. Anywhoooo, this angers Piper who comes out throwing the biggest temper tantrum I have ever seen. Piper finishes the job on the Pipers pit, by attacking Savage and throwing him constantly into the walls!!! King was thrown around so much that his head was busted open from going into one of the polls. Vince McMahon kept playing this up as the 'real' Rowdy Roddy Piper, saying that you 'don't want to get on his bad side'. Good Segment here. Savage was brutally beaten as Liz cried for help. 71%

Macho King lost overness from this segment.

Cowboy Mike Hegstrand d. Papa ShangoNATT MATCH

This is my pick to win the WWF North American Title. Definately Cowboy Mike Hegstrand. The man is well on his way to becoming a Main Eventer, due to his instant heat with the fans under the Stan Hansen gimmick. He mutilated Papa Shango with a western lariat at 8:33. Bret Hart was 'watching' from the isleway. Robert Fuller accompanied Mike Hegstrand to the ring...Right after his victory, Hegstrand ran to the back to find Bret Hart.

The Berzerker d. Robert Fuller

Robert Fuller was on the way to the back, simply walking out of the ring, when all of a sudden, The Berzerker came running down the isle with Slick! He cracked Fuller in the head with his sheild, and throw Fuller back in the ring. I guess this was now a match. After 5 minutes of, I guess what you would consider wrestler, Agent Steve Blackman came out, surrounded by other Agents, and announced that this match, has become a SUDDEN DEATH MATCH! With that, the Berzerker really put on the Wrestling---Er...Brawling---um...the Viking-like fighting that he does. He kept bashing Fullers head into the cage, until Slick opened the CAGE door for Berzerker, allowing him to win. Crowd wasn't into this match very much, but they were intrigued by the Berzerkers insanity.

Overall: 48

Crowd: 49

Match: 47

Robert Fuller lost overness from this match. The Berzerker gained overness from this match.

The Genius was backstage in his lockeroom, when Sean Mooney walked in. He entered the 'secret passage' and saw The Genius reading the Encylopedia again. This time he was on the Letter "M". Genius blamed Presdent H. Hogan for the attack on his Brother, by Rowdy Roddy Piper! He said that Macho King did everything to get Hogan that title as President and he has done nothing to show his grattitude....Genius was so upset, that he closed the Encyclopedia. I wonder where THIS is going? 74%

The Genius gained overness from this segment.

They throw us to another section of the back where Shawn Michaels & Sgt. Slaughter with Lord Alfred Hayes. Big ovation for the WWF Tag Team Champions. Slaughter said that it feels great to have a WWF Title, but that he really yearned for a singles title. He pointed to a picture of the WWF Intercontintal Title. The crowd popped. Slaughter, then told Michaels, his little protege, that he was going to 'show him how it was done.' They then walked off, with Slaugter leading Michaels away. Slaugher's always screaming. Geez. 73%

-ADVERTS-

Sid the Conquerer d. Jerry Lawler

Well they headlined the Royal Albert Hall with a great match here. Sid, even though he has to walk to the ring with a Cape, Sword, and Shield looked great here. Crowd was digging into him as much as I've ever seen. HUGE Lawler chants (over=97). Fans couldn't wait for him to get his hands on Ted Dibiase. At 12:30 into the match, Ted Dibiase appeared on the Titan Tron...and had some final words for Jerry Lawler.

Dibiase: Hey Lawler!!! I wish you the best of luck tommorw!! I hope you put that Crown of yours on the Line!! Because I'm sure you're whole family will be watching....as will mine!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

**The camera widens, and not only do we see The Million Dollar Man laughing, but we also see The Million Dollar Kid laughing as well....OUCH. The two body guards of thiers Virgil & The Big Bossman are chuckling in the background.**

Lawler turns right into a kick to the gut, leading to a massive powerbomb from Sid The Conquerer for the victory.

Ric Flair d. The British Bulldog -WWF World Title

Ric Flair came out and said that he loved defending the WWF Title in England. He then said "Who better to defend the title against, then The British Bulldog!!!!. WOW. With that the Bulldog came out to a huge ovation....The best match of the night. Once the match started, Flair played the heel, while Bulldog had the crowd going for him in every instance. Final moments of the match came when Flair started to goto work on Bulldog's knee. Minutes later, he sinched on the Figure Four for the victory. At that point...The Mountie came down the isle, and stood face to face with Ric Flair....With the most serious voice as Rougeau can put on, he screamed;

"Tommorow night, Ric Flair! I make the step from Star, To Superstar!!!!! At your expense--'Nature Boy!' Wooooo!"

With that, Arsenal went off the air, with the Mountie walking to the back with Pat Patterson, keeping one I on Ric Flair. Flair stared him down the whole way back.....Hmmm. Good show...Glad that thier not revolving everything around the Immortals, yet still keeping them as an important part of the show.

ARSENAL II; THE PAY PER VIEW

- May 28th, 1994 - Live on PPV - Attendance 20,231

Announcers: Vince McMahon & Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan & Clive Anderson

Well, tonight was the night. Today was the night that we were going to scratch off the feuds that have been going on for the last year or so, and break into the new exciting 94-95 era of the WWF. I walked with head writers JJ Dillon & Vince Russo throught the lockeroom, just to say hello, and get a 'feel' for the locker room. Dillon warned that we were probably going to be constantely stopped by Wrestlers, but, I thought it was OK. As long as we stayed away from Yokozuna, who wants to leave, Shawn Michaels, who always has a problem, and Rowdy Roddy Piper, who's slowly starting to open back up with us. Sid The Conquerer caught up with us right away. He was already wearing his cape, and had his sword and sheild in hand...

Sid" Ya Know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you guys were trying to make me look like 'He-Man'."

Russo" (After an uneasy laugh) Haha. No way Sid...this goes along with your gimmick. You and the Berzerker with the whole Viking thing! You guys are in it for the long haul man. Carry that sword with pride! Hey...who knows? That cape and sword makes you MORE of a monster!"

We walk away...Sid's a bit upset....But nothing to worry about now. We'll have to make sure that he is one of our top heels going into the next era. Oh man...Up ahead was the man...Vince McMahon. He was talking to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco...we tried to walk away...but he saw us, and prompted us to join him and the road agents.

McMahon" Hey, I wanted to talk to you three. I wanted to commend you on the amazing job that you guys have done."

Brisco" That's right, Mountie is just about over with 95% of the fans (95 over-after tonights show). Lawler is over with 97%, and Dibiase is the top heel in the country now (100 over). We've tried with all three. We never thought Lawler's face character would get over...."

Brisco" Exactly! And the Immortals invasion angle was the greatest angle to date. Comedy, intrigue, and realism, all in one! Great job!"

McMahon" Ok...but there's something I wanted to talk to you guys about. We need a monster for Suvivor Series '94. (He starts screaming) I want this to be along the lines of Hogan - Warrior; Hogan - Andre! Sheik - Hogan!! Backlund - Sheik! My challenge is this...Berzerker - Lawler!!! "

Javert" Whoaaa...wait a second...The Berzerker can't wrestle a lick!" (damn...McMahon wasn't done...he was in a trance...still yelling...staring into the sky. People were starting to look at him.)

McMahon" WHO WILL SURVIVE, JAVERT!!!!!?????"

McMahon"uh...I dunno. Lawler?"

McMahon"I SAID WHO WILL SURVIVE!!!?? IN THE FIRST EVER VIKING MATCH!!!!! BERZERKER - LAWLER!! THE VIKING MATCH!!! THE MOST VIOLENT MATCH IN WWF HISTORY!!!!!!"

Dillon"uh...Vince...Mr. McMahon...what about Mountie - Lawler?"

McMahon"James...we need a monster! Andre The Giant couldn't wrestle a lick....he was uncharasmatic blah blah blah....but..he was a monster in the fans eyes. Berzerker is a 'Viking'. You have alot to work with.]"

Russo"Yea...but what about Dibiase? Or Sid! Yea..Sid's a viking!"

McMahon"Yea but Sid has a rep. He's already over with the fans. He can be used as a tool. Much like the alliance of Hogan and Andre....this Berzerker & Sid thing can be just as great. And Dibiase's already established..."

McMahon"WHO WILL SURVIVE, JAVERT!!!!!?????"

Javert" What about Agent Steve Blackman & The Undertaker?"

McMahon" Their both young characters. We don't want to rush into things. Berzerker's been around since 1992. Lets take advatage of his unique style. Consider it a challenge!!!! WHO WILL SURVIVE???!!!!!"

Wow. What a challenge. Russo, Dillon, and I stood in amazement, as Vince walked toward the curtain..4 months to make the Berzerker a monster...but not time to worry about that now..It was time for the Pay Per View.

McMahon, Heenan, And Clive Anderson--ARSENAL II's broadcasting team.

WWF Arsenal II began right away. They did not have thier 'Action Zone' free preview this time. Instead, they showed Footage of what's been going on the last few months in the WWF, along with announcing, Clive Anderson, host of popular Channel 4 Production 'Who's Line is It Anyway', as their special guest commentator for the show. According to serveral sources, Anderson, got paid about $400,000 for his appearance, and gets to plug his show as often as he wants. He was also to be the Special Guest Ring Announcer for the Million Dollar Man-Jerry Lawler Match. As soon as the preview was over Vince McMahon was seen standing up at the announcers table in the back, with Bobby Heenan on one side, and Clive Anderson on the other. Vince started screaming like a maniac, as always. Bobby Heenan is humourously wearing a crown, waiving to the fans who are chanting 'Weasel'.

McMahon" Welcome everyone!!!! To Newcastle, England!!! Welcome everyone WWF Arsenal II!!! I'm Vince McMahon, joined with our very special guest--You can see him host 'Who's Line is It Anyway?', on Channel 4,'--Clive Anderson!! And--Brain! Why are you wearing that rediculous crown!"

Heenan" McMahon! You don't know?! I am an icon in this place! I'm more than an Icon! I am a King! Listen to them? Thats my 'Royal Call'. They are saying 'WISE ZEL'. ZEL is my British name!!!"

Anderson" I think thier saying 'Weasal', Bobby!"

Heenan (after staring at Clive for about 5 seconds)" Um....Who are you? McMahon, how did he get in the building!"

Anderson" Clive Anderson....host of 'Who's Line is it Anway?', a show that you don't get there in America."

Heenan" Don't we have enough Bald People in this federation? Does your show have anything to do with the OJ case going on, in America now?"

Anderson" There's a case going on about Orange Juice? Wow. Yanks do take thing seriously."

**The Berzerker is being lead down the isle by Slick.**

McMahon" Well, we've got our first match on the way--It's a SMW title match, The Viking is being lead to the ring!!!"

Didn't they stop calling Berzerker 'The Viking' since 1992? Oh well. McMahon slip-up #1.

1.The Berzerker vs. Koko B. Ware - SMW Heavyweight Title

Why this match was even on the card, I don't know. Berzerker must've paid McMahon big money, because not only is he being paired with Slick and Sid The Conquerer, but he actually has yet to loose a match. The announcers made this point over and over again during the match. This must be a Pat Patterson idea.(Also on a side note, someone told me that this whole He-Man/Viking thing with Sid is punishment for no-selling an important match in the past. Ah well. It's actually working to Sid's Advantage though.) Match was worst than it should've been..But funny. Berzerker kept 'Hussing' at Frankie, again...and gave the parrot a blank stare when it did not respond. While on offense, Berzerker kept doing the Birdman flap...or the closest thing to it, anway. Final moments came at 8:32 when the Berzerker nailed Koko B. Ware with his shouldertackle for the upset! McMahon and Heenan called this the 'biggest upset in WWF History!' The Berzerker is the New SMW Champion!! Are they serious? *1/4

Overall: 34

Crowd: 34

Match: 29

The Berzerker gained overness from this match. Koko B. Ware didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. The SMW Heavyweight title has lost image.

2.New Jack v. Dark Patriot w/Bruce Pritchard - Ghetto Brawl

The rules to a 'Ghetto Brawl' were very unclear. New Jack came to the ring with a shopping cart. Inside of the shopping cart was a sink, a ladder, a frying pan, a baseball bat, a kendo stick, and a guitar. Brutus Beefcake ran down the isle, on behalf of President Hogan, and warned New Jack that he couldn't use any of those weapons that he brought with him. The crowd started to chant 'Mullet' at Beefcake for the whole match, as he decided to stick around and enforce the rules. Match was actually really good, since Gilbert can brawl as well as technically wrestle. Crowd was really dead for this match, as instead they were busy watching a fight break out in the crowd. Apparently an 'Arsenal' Football fan, got in a fight with a Man U. fan, which started a small fan fight. Final moments of the match saw New Jack go for the guitar. Referee Ronnie Garvin jumped in front of Dark Patriot so that New Jack would not use the guitar. After a few minutes of arguing, New Jack broke the guitar over the ref's head...allowing The Dark Patriot to get the victory via disqualification. McMahon mentioned here that Ronnie Garvin will be retiring next month. He was known to most WWF fans as 'Rugged Ronnie Garvin'.**1/2

Overall: 48

Crowd: 27

Match: 70

3.The Undertaker vs. Tatanka

Bruce Prtichard came joined the Dark Patriot, who was still in the ring from just having his match with New Jack. Bruce Pritchard came out with the microphone, to introduce The Undertaker in his debut.

Pritchard"

2 Years ago, I brought to the WWF-What I thought was the most indestructable force in Professional Wrestling!!! I brought the Prince of Darkness, the Undertaker, to the WWF! But little did I know, that it was all a facade! It was an act! The man underneath the hat, Mark Callous, was nothing more than a yellow coward! A man frightened by his fears!! But now!!! Now!!! Now I have brought the Reeeallll Undertaker!!! I have brought to you the man That knows only the values of evil!! I give you, the Prince of Prime Time!! The Lord of Darkness!! Ladies and Gentleman...He is the Boss of THE CARTEL!!! The Undertaker!!! "

**With that, first down the isle came Alexandria Yorke & The Taylor Made Man. They were followed by the Repo Man, who snooped around right behind them. After that, Vampire Warrior (Gangrel), and Papa Shango appeared at each side of the curtain. Each holding a huge Flame Torch. And, finally, out came The Undertaker.. I think Undertaker's entrance took longer than the match...Bruce Pritchard & The Dark Patriot, stood with Alexandria Yorke & The Taylor Made Man, politley applauding The Undertaker as he slowly walked down the isle with Papa Shango and Vampire Warrior by his side. Repo man continued to buzz around the outsirts of the ring.

McMahon" My oh My! The Boss of the Cartel is, The Undertaker...The Prince of Prime Time!!"

Heenan" Look at these men, McMahon!! It's like their zombies! They all see The Undertaker as a leader! Look at Shango! Look at The Vampire Warrior! (recently called up from VWF) And I think that this little business partnership between Alexandria Yorke and Bruce Pritchard is amazing--and spells trouble for the World Wrestling Federation!!"**

---Once in the ring, Undertaker handed his hat and garb to Bruce Pritchard and Alexandria Yorke, respectively. All other CARTEL memebers

surrounded the ring, as Undertaker pounded on Tatanka. Tatanka tried to fight using clotheslines, but could not get the slow moving Undertaker off of his feet. Finally, at 6:66, Undertaker landed a jumping tombstone for the victory

The Undertaker gained overness from this match.

After the match, what followed was pure insanity. Bruce Pritchard grabbed the mic, and started screaming...again;

"Well, I told you!!! This is real! Now....Minions of the Undertaker...MEMBERS OF THE CARTEL!!! Find Mark Callous!!!

With that the Dark Patriot lead, Repo Man, Papa Shango, and Ganrel to the back, while Bruce Pritchard, Alexandria Yorke, and The Taylor Made Man simply shadowed them, slowly. They paraded through the lockeroom like nothing. Koko B. Ware was walking by...Gangrel grabbed the bird and started to put it in his mouth. That would've been disgusting. Luckily Dark Patriot stopped Gangrel. This chase went all the way to the car park of the Telecast Arena...Fans crowded the area. Suddenly, Mark Callous came out of no where, punching members of THE CARTEL, like it was nobodies business. At first, Callous was kicking tail...but the odds finally overcame him. The 4 on 1 was too much for Callous to handle. Finally The Leaders of THE CARTEL showed up...Bruce Pritchard yelled, THERE HE IS!!!! With that, Terry Taylor joined in the attack, sealing the fate for Callous.

As the members of THE CARTEL continued to beat up Callous, The Undertaker grabbed Repo Man, and said, Get...the....car.....

Vince McMahon, Bobby Heenan, and Clyve Anderson made the call

McMahon" Get the car? What does he mean get the car! What the heck is going on here!"

**Suddenley Repo Man appears in a 1994 Dodge Viper**

Anderson" Hey. Where in the bloody hell did he get that car from!"

Heenan" That's the Repo Man, Anderson!!! And that car is probably from his collection of repossesed cars!!"

McMahon" What is he doing....wait...wait just a second!!! He's driving straight for Mean Mark Callous!!! He's--Katey!! Katey...Cut away from this!"

77% [sTABLE ATTACK]

They quickly cut to highlights of Sid The Conquerer turning heel, and joining Slick, along with his recent actions on RAW. After the segment their was no mention of what just transpired. They made absolutley NO referance to the graphic footage that was just shown. I like it....

4.Sid The Conquerer vs. The British Bulldog

British Bulldog came out first to a huge pop. Sid The Conquerer, came out, complete with his red cape, sword and sheild--still screaming like a f-cking lunatic; "I rule the World!!! I am the MASTER! AND THE RULER!! OF THE WORLD!!" Match was as solid as it will ever be. Bulldog did a good job here of carrying Sid. Final moments of the match came when Berzerker came running down the isle, whilst Slick distracting the ref. At 13:22 Berzerker started whipping Bulldog over and over again with the SMW Heavyweight Title! Great heel heat here. Finally Berzerker tossed himself over the top rope. This left Bulldog hurt and down, as Sid nailed him with the Power Bomb for the victory. After the match, Sid The Conquerer did his usual screaming and yelling on the microphone...Solid match. Crowd was chanting 'He-Man'...to get on Sid. Sid grabbed the mic and told said; "I have the power!!! I am the ruler of the World!!!" Hmm. That can't help, Sid. What a moron.**3/4

Crowd: 86

Match: 72

5.Shawn Michaels d. Razor Ramon

Definatley one of the best matches quality-wise of the PPV. The crowd was totally into this, especially seeing Sgt. Slaughter at ring side with his tag team partner. Funny spot at 8:45, where Slaughter put on Razor's gold, and started impersonating Razor outside the ring. Razor saw this and went for Slaughter right away, giving him a cheap shot, which sent 1/2 of the Tag Team champions tumbling down. Final moments at 23:45 of a classic match; After a ref bump, both men double clotheslined each other! Fans were chant for 'The Sarge' to go in there and make a differance. After, deliberation Slaughter locked the Cobra Clutch on Razor, to a huge pop!! When the ref got up, Ramon was out cold, and lost the match after a rocker dropper, from Shawn Michaels. Small 'Slaugther' chant, which then molded into a Michaels Chant. The WWF Tag Team Champions celebrated for a short while, before leaving. ****

Overall: 88

Crowd: 90

Match: 84

Shawn Michaels gained overness from this feud ending. Razor Ramon gained overness from this feud ending.

6.The Genius & Macho King Randy Savage d. Rowdy Roddy Piper & Gerald Brisco

What an awful match. Brisco didn't have Hogan to carry him this time. This match was also marred by loud 'Slaughter' and 'Michaels' chants. Final moments saw The Genius use his clipboard across the face of Gerald Brisco. For an easy 3 count. Word is that the WWF was so impressed with the Genius over the last comple of weeks, that they are going to send him down to the VWF, and return him with Marty Jannetty is off of his Suspension, in 3 months.After the Match, Gerald Brisco was crying--he didn't get his job back. Macho King Randy Savage looked on to Brisco with simpathy. The announcers also made a big deal about it. Hmmmm. Interested to see where this goes. *3/4

Overall: 53

Crowd: 57

Match: 47

]This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.

7.The Mountie vs. Ric Flair - WWF I-C Title - Closed Cage

I can't believe I'm writing this..but THIS was the match that people wanted to see. Mountie - Flair; the Final Encounter. Mountie's heel heat is AMAZING, right now. Unfortunately, he may loose some of that heat over the next week, since the next week of TV is part of the special France Tour...where Rougeau will probably be cheered. Flair offered a handshake to start the match, but then pulled his hand away from the Mountie when Mountie was going to extend his hand. Big Pop from the crowd. Crowd was super into this match...Flair played the face here..obviously. First few minutes were stalling...at about 10 minutes into the match, the two really got into it. Mountie busted Flair open with brass knux that he hid in his uniform. I guess Mountie is the 'dirtiest player in the game', now. Flair however fought back, punching Mountie into the corner, and then nailing him with a low blow. Crowd burst into a huge 'Flair Chant'. Flair dominated for the next 10 minutes mostly working on Mountie's leg...At 18:34 of a grueling match, Pat Patterson started to attempt to cut a hole in the cage with Brutus Beefcake's giant Shears, so that he could throw in the Cattleprod. JJ Dillon saw this and ran over to Patterson knocking him down...But Patterson was able to get the cattle prod in there as he was tumbling down. Referee Ronnie Garvin yanked the cattle prod, from the floor before Mountie could get. Mountie and Garven argued for a while, as Ric Flair stood behind Garvin..just watching. And then...suddenley, Garvin turned around and decked Flair in the eye with the base of the cattle prod!!!!!!! The crowd was in a state of shock! The referee!! 40 year old Ronnie Garvin decked Flair!!! Heenan was going nuts about how he 'saw these two battle in the NWA years ago', and how he saw this coming.... Flair was clutching his eye right away, as he was clearly in pain. Mountie, exhausted, battered and bleeding, nailed Flair with the Uranage. 1....2.....3!!! No!!!! Flair got up!!! The crowd was going nuts!! JJ Dillon was livid! as there was no way for him to get in to help out Flair...Mountie continued to put the boots to Flair, while Ronnie Garvin used the Cattleprod to break holes into the Cage....Ohh! He cut out a small peice of the cage..placed the piece on the floor--And then the Mountie landed ANOTHER uranage onto Ric Flair--this time right on top of the metallic cage piece. That was all the Mountie needed to win. The Mountie has beaten Ric Flair!!!!!! Ronnie Garvin is actually retiring from the ring next month. So maybe thier going to get some last minute work out of him--or, are planning on giving him a job as staff--if he's capable. Mountie got a huge heel reaction after his Victory!! Flair went after Garvin, but Garvin ran to the back before Flair could get revenge.

Heenan" McMahon, I told you!! Ronnie Garvin hates Ric Flair! These two have had heated battles over Titles in the past! Plus!! All Canadian's stick together!!! I knew it!!!"

McMahon" Quite frankly, I'm suprised!!! What an injustice!!!!"

8.Jerry Lawler vs. Ted Dibiase - WWF Crown - Memphis Brawl

Ronnie Garvin was, ironically, the referee in this match, too. These two got started right away, Lawler went straight after Dibiase and started pounding him endlessly. Crowd was going BONKERS. This might've been the hottest crowd in the WWF all year. Dibiase was great here, in getting the crowd heated, when he was on offense. This match didn't take to long to get rowdy. Lawler threw Dibiase into the crowd, causing an giant rush toward the wrestlers, resulting in pure anarchy. People were tossing things; food, merchandise, hats, spit...anything...at Dibiase. Security had to really push people around here. Lawler brought Dibiase all the way up to the '100' section..here, The Big Bossman was waiting and attacked Lawler with his nightstick. This allowed Dibiase to get the upperhand. He threw Lawler head first into the stall doors in the Bathroom before brining a bloodied Lawler down to the ring. Loud 'Jerry' chant at this point. Jerry started to answer the chants by mounting a comeback against Dibiase.At 22:56, Dibiase started to nail Lawler in his busted open spot on his head...But Lawler no sold those punches to huge pops. After the 5th no-sell, Lawler did his patented should strap spot, which had the crowd literally jumping and screaming for Lawler. Dibiase saw what was going on right away and slipped out of the way, leading Lawler to chase him. He lead Lawler right into a chair shot by, The Million Dollar Kid!!! Finally on the outside of the ring, Million Dollar Man, clinched in the Million Dollar Dream! As this was happening, the crowd popped for a running Ric Flair! Ric Flair? Yes, Ric Flair!!! He had a chair in his hand, and dented it right over the head of Ronnie Garvin who was inside of the ring, trying to get the Wrestlers back in the ring. Crowd popped huge for this.Flair got his revenge on Referee Ronnie Garvin!!!! This angered Dibiase, however who had the match won! Dibiase jumped in the ring and started screaming to Flair; What the hell are you doing! This is my match! Don't you know who I am!

He then started to push Flair with each word. The crowd was getting hotter and hotter for Flair to hit Dibiase with the very same chair he dented over Garvins head. Finally..these words pushed the WWF Champion over the edge.

"You may be a 'Nature Boy', Flair--But I'm a Million Dollar Man, you punk!

With that, Flair nailed Dibiase with a chair shot that echoed throughout the Telecast Arena! Crowd was going insane. Flair has knocked out Dibiase!!!. Christopher, Bossman, and Virgil, each jumped in the ring, but were all met with equally intense chair shots. Flair left to a huge ovation from this Newcastle crowd, laying out the whole Million Dollar clan..

At this point, Lawler, recovering from the Christopher chair shot, got back in the ring, to see Dibiase, Virgil, Bossman, and his son laid out. Torn between 'helping' his son and making the pin, Lawler, after great deliberation, nailed Dibiase with the stump Piledriver, for the 1....2.....3!! Jerry The King Lawler has defeated The Million Dollar man!!!! And Ric Flair gets the assist!!!

Everyone knows that tonight, we put on one of the best shows in years. Maybe even the PPV of the year. Lawler-Dibiase was amazing....and Mountie-Flair was amazing. This meant that the meeting on June 15th was going to be insanley positive. Dillon went over to talk to Flair.

Dillon" Great job out there...you didn't mind putting over the Mountie did you?"

Flair" No way, brother. Rougeau's a great guy. I'm glad to see him on the upper echolean of the card. "

Dillon" Now the only problem, is that now that in the wrestling world, This title is once again not as valueable as the I-C belt."

Dillon" That's why the belt is around your waist, Ric!!! Because we have confidence in you!!!"

ARSENAL II; THE PAY PER VIEW

- May 28th, 1994 - Live on PPV - Attendance 20,231

Announcers: Vince McMahon & Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan & Clive Anderson

Well, tonight was the night. Today was the night that we were going to scratch off the feuds that have been going on for the last year or so, and break into the new exciting 94-95 era of the WWF. I walked with head writers JJ Dillon & Vince Russo throught the lockeroom, just to say hello, and get a 'feel' for the locker room. Dillon warned that we were probably going to be constantely stopped by Wrestlers, but, I thought it was OK. As long as we stayed away from Yokozuna, who wants to leave, Shawn Michaels, who always has a problem, and Rowdy Roddy Piper, who's slowly starting to open back up with us. Sid The Conquerer caught up with us right away. He was already wearing his cape, and had his sword and sheild in hand...

Sid" Ya Know, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you guys were trying to make me look like 'He-Man'."

Russo" (After an uneasy laugh) Haha. No way Sid...this goes along with your gimmick. You and the Berzerker with the whole Viking thing! You guys are in it for the long haul man. Carry that sword with pride! Hey...who knows? That cape and sword makes you MORE of a monster!"

We walk away...Sid's a bit upset....But nothing to worry about now. We'll have to make sure that he is one of our top heels going into the next era. Oh man...Up ahead was the man...Vince McMahon. He was talking to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco...we tried to walk away...but he saw us, and prompted us to join him and the road agents.

McMahon" Hey, I wanted to talk to you three. I wanted to commend you on the amazing job that you guys have done."

Brisco" That's right, Mountie is just about over with 95% of the fans (95 over-after tonights show). Lawler is over with 97%, and Dibiase is the top heel in the country now (100 over). We've tried with all three. We never thought Lawler's face character would get over...."

Brisco" Exactly! And the Immortals invasion angle was the greatest angle to date. Comedy, intrigue, and realism, all in one! Great job!"

McMahon" Ok...but there's something I wanted to talk to you guys about. We need a monster for Suvivor Series '94. (He starts screaming) I want this to be along the lines of Hogan - Warrior; Hogan - Andre! Sheik - Hogan!! Backlund - Sheik! My challenge is this...Berzerker - Lawler!!! "

Javert" Whoaaa...wait a second...The Berzerker can't wrestle a lick!" (damn...McMahon wasn't done...he was in a trance...still yelling...staring into the sky. People were starting to look at him.)

McMahon" WHO WILL SURVIVE, JAVERT!!!!!?????"

McMahon"uh...I dunno. Lawler?"

McMahon"I SAID WHO WILL SURVIVE!!!?? IN THE FIRST EVER VIKING MATCH!!!!! BERZERKER - LAWLER!! THE VIKING MATCH!!! THE MOST VIOLENT MATCH IN WWF HISTORY!!!!!!"

Dillon"uh...Vince...Mr. McMahon...what about Mountie - Lawler?"

McMahon"James...we need a monster! Andre The Giant couldn't wrestle a lick....he was uncharasmatic blah blah blah....but..he was a monster in the fans eyes. Berzerker is a 'Viking'. You have alot to work with.]"

Russo"Yea...but what about Dibiase? Or Sid! Yea..Sid's a viking!"

McMahon"Yea but Sid has a rep. He's already over with the fans. He can be used as a tool. Much like the alliance of Hogan and Andre....this Berzerker & Sid thing can be just as great. And Dibiase's already established..."

McMahon"WHO WILL SURVIVE, JAVERT!!!!!?????"

Javert" What about Agent Steve Blackman & The Undertaker?"

McMahon" Their both young characters. We don't want to rush into things. Berzerker's been around since 1992. Lets take advatage of his unique style. Consider it a challenge!!!! WHO WILL SURVIVE???!!!!!"

Wow. What a challenge. Russo, Dillon, and I stood in amazement, as Vince walked toward the curtain..4 months to make the Berzerker a monster...but not time to worry about that now..It was time for the Pay Per View.

McMahon, Heenan, And Clive Anderson--ARSENAL II's broadcasting team.

WWF Arsenal II began right away. They did not have thier 'Action Zone' free preview this time. Instead, they showed Footage of what's been going on the last few months in the WWF, along with announcing, Clive Anderson, host of popular Channel 4 Production 'Who's Line is It Anyway', as their special guest commentator for the show. According to serveral sources, Anderson, got paid about $400,000 for his appearance, and gets to plug his show as often as he wants. He was also to be the Special Guest Ring Announcer for the Million Dollar Man-Jerry Lawler Match. As soon as the preview was over Vince McMahon was seen standing up at the announcers table in the back, with Bobby Heenan on one side, and Clive Anderson on the other. Vince started screaming like a maniac, as always. Bobby Heenan is humourously wearing a crown, waiving to the fans who are chanting 'Weasel'.

McMahon" Welcome everyone!!!! To Newcastle, England!!! Welcome everyone WWF Arsenal II!!! I'm Vince McMahon, joined with our very special guest--You can see him host 'Who's Line is It Anyway?', on Channel 4,'--Clive Anderson!! And--Brain! Why are you wearing that rediculous crown!"

Heenan" McMahon! You don't know?! I am an icon in this place! I'm more than an Icon! I am a King! Listen to them? Thats my 'Royal Call'. They are saying 'WISE ZEL'. ZEL is my British name!!!"

Anderson" I think thier saying 'Weasal', Bobby!"

Heenan (after staring at Clive for about 5 seconds)" Um....Who are you? McMahon, how did he get in the building!"

Anderson" Clive Anderson....host of 'Who's Line is it Anway?', a show that you don't get there in America."

Heenan" Don't we have enough Bald People in this federation? Does your show have anything to do with the OJ case going on, in America now?"

Anderson" There's a case going on about Orange Juice? Wow. Yanks do take thing seriously."

**The Berzerker is being lead down the isle by Slick.**

McMahon" Well, we've got our first match on the way--It's a SMW title match, The Viking is being lead to the ring!!!"

Didn't they stop calling Berzerker 'The Viking' since 1992? Oh well. McMahon slip-up #1.

1.The Berzerker vs. Koko B. Ware - SMW Heavyweight Title

Why this match was even on the card, I don't know. Berzerker must've paid McMahon big money, because not only is he being paired with Slick and Sid The Conquerer, but he actually has yet to loose a match. The announcers made this point over and over again during the match. This must be a Pat Patterson idea.(Also on a side note, someone told me that this whole He-Man/Viking thing with Sid is punishment for no-selling an important match in the past. Ah well. It's actually working to Sid's Advantage though.) Match was worst than it should've been..But funny. Berzerker kept 'Hussing' at Frankie, again...and gave the parrot a blank stare when it did not respond. While on offense, Berzerker kept doing the Birdman flap...or the closest thing to it, anway. Final moments came at 8:32 when the Berzerker nailed Koko B. Ware with his shouldertackle for the upset! McMahon and Heenan called this the 'biggest upset in WWF History!' The Berzerker is the New SMW Champion!! Are they serious? *1/4

Overall: 34

Crowd: 34

Match: 29

The Berzerker gained overness from this match. Koko B. Ware didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. The SMW Heavyweight title has lost image.

2.New Jack v. Dark Patriot w/Bruce Pritchard - Ghetto Brawl

The rules to a 'Ghetto Brawl' were very unclear. New Jack came to the ring with a shopping cart. Inside of the shopping cart was a sink, a ladder, a frying pan, a baseball bat, a kendo stick, and a guitar. Brutus Beefcake ran down the isle, on behalf of President Hogan, and warned New Jack that he couldn't use any of those weapons that he brought with him. The crowd started to chant 'Mullet' at Beefcake for the whole match, as he decided to stick around and enforce the rules. Match was actually really good, since Gilbert can brawl as well as technically wrestle. Crowd was really dead for this match, as instead they were busy watching a fight break out in the crowd. Apparently an 'Arsenal' Football fan, got in a fight with a Man U. fan, which started a small fan fight. Final moments of the match saw New Jack go for the guitar. Referee Ronnie Garvin jumped in front of Dark Patriot so that New Jack would not use the guitar. After a few minutes of arguing, New Jack broke the guitar over the ref's head...allowing The Dark Patriot to get the victory via disqualification. McMahon mentioned here that Ronnie Garvin will be retiring next month. He was known to most WWF fans as 'Rugged Ronnie Garvin'.**1/2

Overall: 48

Crowd: 27

Match: 70

-----------------------------------------------------------------

3.The Undertaker vs. Tatanka

Bruce Prtichard came joined the Dark Patriot, who was still in the ring from just having his match with New Jack. Bruce Pritchard came out with the microphone, to introduce The Undertaker in his debut.

Pritchard"

2 Years ago, I brought to the WWF-What I thought was the most indestructable force in Professional Wrestling!!! I brought the Prince of Darkness, the Undertaker, to the WWF! But little did I know, that it was all a facade! It was an act! The man underneath the hat, Mark Callous, was nothing more than a yellow coward! A man frightened by his fears!! But now!!! Now!!! Now I have brought the Reeeallll Undertaker!!! I have brought to you the man That knows only the values of evil!! I give you, the Prince of Prime Time!! The Lord of Darkness!! Ladies and Gentleman...He is the Boss of THE CARTEL!!! The Undertaker!!! "

**With that, first down the isle came Alexandria Yorke & The Taylor Made Man. They were followed by the Repo Man, who snooped around right behind them. After that, Vampire Warrior (Gangrel), and Papa Shango appeared at each side of the curtain. Each holding a huge Flame Torch. And, finally, out came The Undertaker.. I think Undertaker's entrance took longer than the match...Bruce Pritchard & The Dark Patriot, stood with Alexandria Yorke & The Taylor Made Man, politley applauding The Undertaker as he slowly walked down the isle with Papa Shango and Vampire Warrior by his side. Repo man continued to buzz around the outsirts of the ring.

McMahon" My oh My! The Boss of the Cartel is, The Undertaker...The Prince of Prime Time!!"

Heenan" Look at these men, McMahon!! It's like their zombies! They all see The Undertaker as a leader! Look at Shango! Look at The Vampire Warrior! (recently called up from VWF) And I think that this little business partnership between Alexandria Yorke and Bruce Pritchard is amazing--and spells trouble for the World Wrestling Federation!!"**

---Once in the ring, Undertaker handed his hat and garb to Bruce Pritchard and Alexandria Yorke, respectively. All other CARTEL memebers

surrounded the ring, as Undertaker pounded on Tatanka. Tatanka tried to fight using clotheslines, but could not get the slow moving Undertaker off of his feet. Finally, at 6:66, Undertaker landed a jumping tombstone for the victory

The Undertaker gained overness from this match.

---------------------------------------------------------

After the match, what followed was pure insanity. Bruce Pritchard grabbed the mic, and started screaming...again;

"Well, I told you!!! This is real! Now....Minions of the Undertaker...MEMBERS OF THE CARTEL!!! Find Mark Callous!!!

With that the Dark Patriot lead, Repo Man, Papa Shango, and Ganrel to the back, while Bruce Pritchard, Alexandria Yorke, and The Taylor Made Man simply shadowed them, slowly. They paraded through the lockeroom like nothing. Koko B. Ware was walking by...Gangrel grabbed the bird and started to put it in his mouth. That would've been disgusting. Luckily Dark Patriot stopped Gangrel. This chase went all the way to the car park of the Telecast Arena...Fans crowded the area. Suddenly, Mark Callous came out of no where, punching members of THE CARTEL, like it was nobodies business. At first, Callous was kicking tail...but the odds finally overcame him. The 4 on 1 was too much for Callous to handle. Finally The Leaders of THE CARTEL showed up...Bruce Pritchard yelled, THERE HE IS!!!! With that, Terry Taylor joined in the attack, sealing the fate for Callous.

As the members of THE CARTEL continued to beat up Callous, The Undertaker grabbed Repo Man, and said, Get...the....car.....

Vince McMahon, Bobby Heenan, and Clyve Anderson made the call

McMahon" Get the car? What does he mean get the car! What the heck is going on here!"

**Suddenley Repo Man appears in a 1994 Dodge Viper**

Anderson" Hey. Where in the bloody hell did he get that car from!"

Heenan" That's the Repo Man, Anderson!!! And that car is probably from his collection of repossesed cars!!"

McMahon" What is he doing....wait...wait just a second!!! He's driving straight for Mean Mark Callous!!! He's--Katey!! Katey...Cut away from this!"

77% [sTABLE ATTACK]

They quickly cut to highlights of Sid The Conquerer turning heel, and joining Slick, along with his recent actions on RAW. After the segment their was no mention of what just transpired. They made absolutley NO referance to the graphic footage that was just shown. I like it....

4.Sid The Conquerer vs. The British Bulldog

British Bulldog came out first to a huge pop. Sid The Conquerer, came out, complete with his red cape, sword and sheild--still screaming like a f-cking lunatic; "I rule the World!!! I am the MASTER! AND THE RULER!! OF THE WORLD!!" Match was as solid as it will ever be. Bulldog did a good job here of carrying Sid. Final moments of the match came when Berzerker came running down the isle, whilst Slick distracting the ref. At 13:22 Berzerker started whipping Bulldog over and over again with the SMW Heavyweight Title! Great heel heat here. Finally Berzerker tossed himself over the top rope. This left Bulldog hurt and down, as Sid nailed him with the Power Bomb for the victory. After the match, Sid The Conquerer did his usual screaming and yelling on the microphone...Solid match. Crowd was chanting 'He-Man'...to get on Sid. Sid grabbed the mic and told said; "I have the power!!! I am the ruler of the World!!!" Hmm. That can't help, Sid. What a moron.**3/4

Overall: 81

Crowd: 86

Match: 72

5.Shawn Michaels d. Razor Ramon

Definatley one of the best matches quality-wise of the PPV. The crowd was totally into this, especially seeing Sgt. Slaughter at ring side with his tag team partner. Funny spot at 8:45, where Slaughter put on Razor's gold, and started impersonating Razor outside the ring. Razor saw this and went for Slaughter right away, giving him a cheap shot, which sent 1/2 of the Tag Team champions tumbling down. Final moments at 23:45 of a classic match; After a ref bump, both men double clotheslined each other! Fans were chant for 'The Sarge' to go in there and make a differance. After, deliberation Slaughter locked the Cobra Clutch on Razor, to a huge pop!! When the ref got up, Ramon was out cold, and lost the match after a rocker dropper, from Shawn Michaels. Small 'Slaugther' chant, which then molded into a Michaels Chant. The WWF Tag Team Champions celebrated for a short while, before leaving. ****

Overall: 88

Crowd: 90

Match: 84

Shawn Michaels gained overness from this feud ending. Razor Ramon gained overness from this feud ending.

6.The Genius & Macho King Randy Savage d. Rowdy Roddy Piper & Gerald Brisco

What an awful match. Brisco didn't have Hogan to carry him this time. This match was also marred by loud 'Slaughter' and 'Michaels' chants. Final moments saw The Genius use his clipboard across the face of Gerald Brisco. For an easy 3 count. Word is that the WWF was so impressed with the Genius over the last comple of weeks, that they are going to send him down to the VWF, and return him with Marty Jannetty is off of his Suspension, in 3 months.After the Match, Gerald Brisco was crying--he didn't get his job back. Macho King Randy Savage looked on to Brisco with simpathy. The announcers also made a big deal about it. Hmmmm. Interested to see where this goes. *3/4

Overall: 53

Crowd: 57

Match: 47

]This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.

7.The Mountie vs. Ric Flair - WWF I-C Title - Closed Cage

I can't believe I'm writing this..but THIS was the match that people wanted to see. Mountie - Flair; the Final Encounter. Mountie's heel heat is AMAZING, right now. Unfortunately, he may loose some of that heat over the next week, since the next week of TV is part of the special France Tour...where Rougeau will probably be cheered. Flair offered a handshake to start the match, but then pulled his hand away from the Mountie when Mountie was going to extend his hand. Big Pop from the crowd. Crowd was super into this match...Flair played the face here..obviously. First few minutes were stalling...at about 10 minutes into the match, the two really got into it. Mountie busted Flair open with brass knux that he hid in his uniform. I guess Mountie is the 'dirtiest player in the game', now. Flair however fought back, punching Mountie into the corner, and then nailing him with a low blow. Crowd burst into a huge 'Flair Chant'. Flair dominated for the next 10 minutes mostly working on Mountie's leg...At 18:34 of a grueling match, Pat Patterson started to attempt to cut a hole in the cage with Brutus Beefcake's giant Shears, so that he could throw in the Cattleprod. JJ Dillon saw this and ran over to Patterson knocking him down...But Patterson was able to get the cattle prod in there as he was tumbling down. Referee Ronnie Garvin yanked the cattle prod, from the floor before Mountie could get. Mountie and Garven argued for a while, as Ric Flair stood behind Garvin..just watching. And then...suddenley, Garvin turned around and decked Flair in the eye with the base of the cattle prod!!!!!!! The crowd was in a state of shock! The referee!! 40 year old Ronnie Garvin decked Flair!!! Heenan was going nuts about how he 'saw these two battle in the NWA years ago', and how he saw this coming.... Flair was clutching his eye right away, as he was clearly in pain. Mountie, exhausted, battered and bleeding, nailed Flair with the Uranage. 1....2.....3!!! No!!!! Flair got up!!! The crowd was going nuts!! JJ Dillon was livid! as there was no way for him to get in to help out Flair...Mountie continued to put the boots to Flair, while Ronnie Garvin used the Cattleprod to break holes into the Cage....Ohh! He cut out a small peice of the cage..placed the piece on the floor--And then the Mountie landed ANOTHER uranage onto Ric Flair--this time right on top of the metallic cage piece. That was all the Mountie needed to win. The Mountie has beaten Ric Flair!!!!!! Ronnie Garvin is actually retiring from the ring next month. So maybe thier going to get some last minute work out of him--or, are planning on giving him a job as staff--if he's capable. Mountie got a huge heel reaction after his Victory!! Flair went after Garvin, but Garvin ran to the back before Flair could get revenge.

Overall: 86

Crowd: 89

Match: 80

The Mountie gained overness from this feud ending. Ric Flair gained overness from this feud ending. The WWF Intercontinental title has gained in image.

Heenan" McMahon, I told you!! Ronnie Garvin hates Ric Flair! These two have had heated battles over Titles in the past! Plus!! All Canadian's stick together!!! I knew it!!!"

McMahon" Quite frankly, I'm suprised!!! What an injustice!!!!"

8.Jerry Lawler vs. Ted Dibiase - WWF Crown - Memphis Brawl

Ronnie Garvin was, ironically, the referee in this match, too. These two got started right away, Lawler went straight after Dibiase and started pounding him endlessly. Crowd was going BONKERS. This might've been the hottest crowd in the WWF all year. Dibiase was great here, in getting the crowd heated, when he was on offense. This match didn't take to long to get rowdy. Lawler threw Dibiase into the crowd, causing an giant rush toward the wrestlers, resulting in pure anarchy. People were tossing things; food, merchandise, hats, spit...anything...at Dibiase. Security had to really push people around here. Lawler brought Dibiase all the way up to the '100' section..here, The Big Bossman was waiting and attacked Lawler with his nightstick. This allowed Dibiase to get the upperhand. He threw Lawler head first into the stall doors in the Bathroom before brining a bloodied Lawler down to the ring. Loud 'Jerry' chant at this point. Jerry started to answer the chants by mounting a comeback against Dibiase.At 22:56, Dibiase started to nail Lawler in his busted open spot on his head...But Lawler no sold those punches to huge pops. After the 5th no-sell, Lawler did his patented should strap spot, which had the crowd literally jumping and screaming for Lawler. Dibiase saw what was going on right away and slipped out of the way, leading Lawler to chase him. He lead Lawler right into a chair shot by, The Million Dollar Kid!!! Finally on the outside of the ring, Million Dollar Man, clinched in the Million Dollar Dream! As this was happening, the crowd popped for a running Ric Flair! Ric Flair? Yes, Ric Flair!!! He had a chair in his hand, and dented it right over the head of Ronnie Garvin who was inside of the ring, trying to get the Wrestlers back in the ring. Crowd popped huge for this.Flair got his revenge on Referee Ronnie Garvin!!!! This angered Dibiase, however who had the match won!

Christopher, Bossman, and Virgil, each jumped in the ring, but were all met with equally intense chair shots. Flair left to a huge ovation from this Newcastle crowd, laying out the whole Million Dollar clan..

At this point, Lawler, recovering from the Christopher chair shot, got back in the ring, to see Dibiase, Virgil, Bossman, and his son laid out. Torn between 'helping' his son and making the pin, Lawler, after great deliberation, nailed Dibiase with the stump Piledriver, for the 1....2.....3!!

June 3rd, 1994 -Monday Night Raw -

Channel: USA Network

Venue: Stade De France, Saint-Denis - France

Attendance: 11019

Announcers: Vince McMahon & Ray Rougeau.

by

Dave Schmeltzer

WWF Presented their first nationally Televised show from France in...I don't know how long. But the crowd was HOT for nearly every match. Vince McMahon and Ray Rougeau were the hosts...crowd went nuts for both Rougeaus, which isn't good for the Mountie who was coming off some nice heel heat. Oh well. McMahon ran down the program, with the feature match being Cowboy Mike Hegstrand vs. Bret Hart in a Western Rules Match and the Main Event was Ric Flair vs. Jerry Lawler for the WWF Championship...

-The Sargeant meets the Mountie-

The show opens up with The Mountie and Pat Patterson appearing on Camera to a HUGE pop. They led the Canadian Foundation around the locker room. Once again, as when Mountie was the World Champion, everyone was singing 'The Mountie Song'. Mountie TRIED to be a heel, but the crowd was cheering everything he did. He even told a woman locker room attendant to 'shave her pits', the crowd just laughed hysterically....As The Canadian Foundation walked around they bumped into SGT. SLAUGHTER! Slaughter--the face--got a heel reaction from the French crowd. Slaughter told Mountie that he should see what a REAL SOLDIER is all about. He then handed him a the new "WWF-The Sarges Way", a new VHS on Colliseum Home Video. Sarge then walked off, tapping the I-C belt, that was on The Mountie's shoulder. Wow...looks like they are pushing SARGE as a top face...or trying to. 72% [face2face]

The Mountie lost overness from this segment.

-President Terry Hogan, sets The Immortals Back on Track-

We go to the ring, where Lord Alfred Hayes is in the ring with President Terry H. Hogan and former SMW Heavyweight Champion, Koko B. Ware. Hogan was holding the North American Championship Belt....

Hayes" Now President, we see that belt in your hand. Everyone wants to know, where we stand and when this tournament is going to continue....Who are the winners of the brackets...do we even have winners? Whats going on? How is--"

Hogan" SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!!!!! (crowd booes) Lemmme tell ya something brutha!!!! We have tallied up the points...And here are your winners of each Bracket!!

-Rotunda aids, but angers Backlund-

Bob Backlund d. Brutus Beefcake

Funny match here, as Backlund kept getting the fans to chant 'Mullet' at Beefcake. Finals of the match came when Rotunda came down the isle with a 'Mullet Wig', this angered Beefcake...Backlund rolled up Beefcake from behind for the victory. After the match, Backlund started yelling to Rotunda 'This isn't a tag match! Why are you here!. Hmmmm. Could this lead to a split up?

Overall: 63

Match: 62

Bob Backlund gained overness from this match.

As we go to break we see Jerry Lawler with his bags headed into the Stade De France. To say the pop was deafening would be an understatement. Lawler saw a billboard that read -Flair vs. Lawler For The WWF Title Tonight!-, and got really pumped. 100%

Jerry Lawler gained overness from this segment.

-World Class Superstar Jeff Jarret meets World Class Berzerker-

They show Jeff Jarret on camera sitting in his locker room just working out. His locker room is next door to The Berzerker and Sid The Conquerer's. All he heres over and over again is Berzerker yelling Huss!!, over and over again, with Slick's rap music playing. He's had enough, and knocks on the door and asks if they can stop. When he opens the door, he shouts over the music but Slick keeps jiving aroudn while Berzerker keeps yelling Huss! at Jarrett complains that the Berzerker isn't even an athlethe...Suddenly Berzerker stops, and says Huss?, with a cold look in his face, slowling lifting his sword... Slick jumps in fron of Berzerker and challenges Jarret to fight Berzerker and Sid The Conquerer. Jarrett at first declined saying that he was afraid of injury...but then Slick said that Berzerker (Who was still staring at Jarrett) would give Jarrett a shot at the SMW Title on PHAT TV, right here in FRANCE!!! Jarrett accepted..and awkwardley left the locker room, as Berzerker continued to stare at Jarret. Why did they make Jarrett look like such a pussy? 77%

Jeff Jarrett lost overness from this segment.

-Bruce Pritchard Introduces THE CARTEL-

Bruce Pritchard & The Dark Patriot was in the ring with Alexandria Yorke & The Taylor Made Man right beside them. Also in the ring was Repo Man, Dark Patriot, Gangrel, and Vampire Warrior, the other members of THE CARTEL. Bruce Pritchard did all the talking an basically stated that he and Alexandria Yorke have struck the 'business' deal of a lifetime. Pritchard stated How they brought together the sickest, most sadistic, and cunning, wrestlers in the WWF...and brought them under the guidance of The Real Undertaker.... It'll be interesting to see who they give a push, out of this roster, besides Brian Lee. My guess is that it'll be Taylor. Word is that thier teaming Taylor up with Dark Patriot. Which would make for a wierd ass tag team...that oddly...with the skill of the two...would put on good matchs. But then again, thats what thier going for with this group. FUCKING WIERD. Solid interview. This is a very dark group, and Pritchard is just the man to get them over. 87%

[Pritchard Interview]

Rowdy Roddy Piper (82) & DWB Tony Anthony (69) d. Jake Roberts (82) & Macho King (84)

I have to hand it to Savage. The man goes from #1 heel, to midcarder in the span of 3 months, and still, he's completley happy with management. Word is that he's getting a face turn once they return back to the states, which probably explains why he 'felt sad' at the PPV about causing Brisco his job. Wow...this could make the IMMORTALS-WWF feud VERY interesting...not that it isn't already...

We goto the back where Bruce Pritchard, Dark Patriot, Alexandria Yorke, and Taylor are leading the rest of THE CARTEL around the locker room area. They bump into Lawler...Lawler tries to go by, but the members of THE CARTEL, oddly form a straight line--a barricade, preventing Lawler from moving on. Suddenly Lawler, ONCE AGAIN felt a crowbar bash against his head. Poor Lawler. Second time being attacked by the Undertaker. Prime Time had these parting words as he strangled Lawler...".....Callous....this is the first deadly sin....you will be the 7th.......rest....in.....peeeeeaccccceeeeee..As Undertaker was saying this, the footage of Repo Man running over Mark Callous was flashed on the TV screen... 79% [face2face confrontation]

Jerry Lawler lost overness from this segment.

Bret Hart d. Cowboy Mike Hegstrand

I cant believe I'm saying this, but the WWF has created a new star. Hegstrand had the crowd into him for the whole match. And, this match, put Bret BACK on the board as a Main Eventer/Upper Carder, and not a mid-carder. These two went everywhere in the building. Because it was an outside arena they were actually wrestling on grass for a little bit, since the Stade De France is a football Stadium. Final moments came when Dutch Mantell ran down the isle to help Hegstrand, but accidently BRANDED Hegstrand when Bret ducked out of the way! Bret celebrated by running away into the crowd...big pop for Bret. After the match Hegstrand argued with Mantell, then gave him a western lariat for good measure. Now does this mean, Hegstrand is on his own now? Or is Mantell out of the Cowboys? Or is the Cowboy's even any more since Robert Fuller lost a Sudden Death Match? I guess we'll find out on PHAT TV.

The Berzerker & Sid The Conquerer d. World Class Wrestler Jeff Jarret & Johnny Smith

Just when I put my faith into Russo and Dillon, they confuse me. They put a new Wrestler, Jeff Jarret, and pair him with another new wrestler, against another team, where one of the wrestlers are still developing...This match consisted of Sid, contuing to yell, at the camera, but directed at Jarret.."I'm not a wrassler??? I'm not a Wrassler!! heheheh...No! I'm a conquerer!!!"...Okeee, if ya say so Sid.

Ric Flair w/ JJ Dillon d. Jerry Lawler

Amazing match here. The heat here was amazing. Crowd popped for everything Lawler did. It seems that everywhere Lawler goes, is just like he's in Memphis. The WWF has taken his popularity to new heights. At 12:11, and angry Ted Dibiase came down the isle with Virgil and The Big Bossman, with a chair! The announcers speculated as to who he would 'go after', as he now had a reason to go after both. As Virgil and Bossman distracted the ref, Dibiase got on the apron and threw the chair in the ring. Flair collapsed to the floor causing the chair to hit Lawler. Flair quickly covered Lawler for the victory! After the match Dibiase got in the ring and attacked Ric Flair, but as soon as Lawler got up, he saved Ric Flair, and started putting the boots to Dibiase!!! Flair got up, and joined Lawler in the attack!!! The Stade de France' roof was nearly blown off by the pop that this got! When it was over, Lawler left the ring, telling Flair, that the title, still wasn't safe around his waist. Something tells me we're looking at the Main Event for King Of The Ring right here....a 3 way Dance for the WWF Title. Dibiase - Flair - Lawler.

Overall: 90

Crowd: 96

Match: 79 -both attacked Dibiase
