WWF 1998: A Different Way

The WWF is the leader in Sport’s Entertainment with its exciting attitude era and the feud between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon drawing big time. WWF has a strong roster with plenty of talent throughout and is riding high with Steve Austin as a high drawing champion. So on to WWF Breakdown…………………………………….

WWF Breakdown In Your House

September 27th 1998

Copps Coliseum – Hamilton, Ontario

Owen Hart Vs Edge

Before Break Down Gangrel had told Edge he would come home………………

Owen Hart picked up the win after Edge was distracted by an unknown somebody, familiar to him, on the outside.

Al Snow & Too Cold Scorpio w Head Vs Too Much (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor)

Al Snow accidentally hit his own partner Scorpio with head during the match! Regardless Al Snow picked up the win when he pinned Taylor.

Darren Drosdov Vs “Marvellous” Marc Mero w Jacqueline

Mero picked up win with the Marvelosity (Shooting Star Press) after Jacqueline and her high heel nailed Drosdov in the head.

Falls Count Anywhere Match

Bradshaw Vs Vader

Justin Bradshaw laid the bad mouth on Vader throughout and nailed the victory with a modified neckbreaker.

D’lo Brown Vs Gangrel

Before the match we are shown footage of D'lo losing the European Championship to X Pac on Raw. D’lo picked up the win thanks to interference by Mark Henry. After the match Gangrel gained some revenge when he spat a red liquid in Henry’s eyes and nailed D’lo with an Impaler DDT.

Number One Contender’s Match

Steel Cage Triple Threat Match

Ken Shamrock Vs Mankind Vs The Rock

Before hand we are shown footage of a similar match (bar the Steel Cage) between the three being interrupted by Kane and Undertaker and hence setting up tonight’s match. Each man took turns in being double teamed by his opponent’s. The crowd were hot for The Rock and behind the crazy antics of Mankind but totally against Shamrock. The crazy bump of the match came from Mankind who jumped from the top of the cage only to miss his aim and crash to the mat! Later on, Mankind had the match won with a sick chair shot to Shamrock but elected to go over the top of the cage. Rock capitalised and pinned Shamrock for the win. The aftermath saw Mankind tearing his hair out and Shamrock going nuts on the outside with a steel chair.

Dustin Runnels Vs Val Venis w Terri Runnels

The motive behind this match was very strong. After attacking Val because of his adult lifestyle Dustin was made to pay a huge price. Val, seeking revenge, made an adult movie entitled “The Preacher’s Wife” for the whole world to see on Raw. The worst part was that is starred Dustin’s wife Terri! Having had marriage troubles already, this was the final nail in the coffin for Dustin and Terri’s marriage. To add insult to injury Terri accompanied her new lover during the match and her attire defiantly followed the idea of less being more! Dustin couldn’t fully concentrate due to his wife being at ringside and Val picked up the win.

Jeff Jarret & Southern Justice (Dennis Knight & Mark Canterbury) w Debra Vs The New Age Outlaws (“Bad Ass” Billy Gunn & Road Dogg) & X Pac w Chyna

Before the match footage is shown of an ambush by Jeff Jarret and Southern Justice on their opponents prior to Breakdown. Billy Gunn picked up the win but the real story was with X Pac who had Jarrett’s guitar smashed over his head during the match. X Pac had to be helped to the back by his stable mates after the match.

WWF Championship Match

Triple Threat Match (Kane cannot pin Undertaker. Undertaker cannot pin Kane)

Kane Vs “Stone Cold” Steve Austin © Vs The Undertaker

This was nothing more than a glorified handicap match set up by Vince McMahon who watched the carnage from the comfort of his skybox with Sable. Austin struck first though with a chair shot to Taker during his entrance. The match started off with Austin trying to divide and conquer but the numbers game eventually caught him up and Kane and Taker began their double team. Trouble arose however for McMahon when both men began to argue and attack each other! Austin came close to retaining but eventually succumbed to a double Chokeslam and double pin. In a state of confusion McMahon took advantage and hastily made his way to the ring to collect the gold. Austin gave chase but Breakdown ended with McMahon’s giving the finger while holding the gold from his speeding off limo.

WWF Champion’s After Breakdown

WWF Championship: Unknown

Intercontinental Champion: Triple H

European Champion: X Pac

Light Heavyweight Championship: TAKA Michinoku

Women’s Champion: Jacqueline

WWF Tag Team Champion’s: The New Age Outlaws (“Bad Ass” Billy Gunn & Road Dogg)

A New Era

So a new era was entered. Austin was no longer the champion; in fact nobody held the belt. Austin was a big drawing, safe champion who the WWF could rely on to draw in the big crowds. How would the WWF deal with the title situation and who would become the next champion? Would the gold soon be back on Austin or would somebody step forward to feud with him? So many questions and a new set of answers as we enter WWF 1998: A Different Way.

WWF Raw Is War

Live September 28th 1998

Joe Louis Arena – Detroit, Michigan

As Raw hits the air a recap of last nights main event at Breakdown between Kane, Undertaker and Steve Austin is shown. The pictures end with Vince McMahon giving the middle finger to Austin while holding the WWF Title out of a speeding off limo. The Raw opening video plays through before we are taken through a pyrotechnic display. We are then shown various signs in the crowd before we taken to our announce team, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Jim Ross “Welcome everybody to Raw is War!”

Jerry Lawler “JR, Austin is no longer WWF Champion! Haha!”

Jim Ross “What happened last night was absolutely disgusting and Vince McMahon should…………………………..”

“No Chance that’s what ‘cha got” Ross is interrupted by Vince McMahon’s new theme music. The WWF owner appears from the back to huge boo’s but crucially clutching onto the WWF Title and boasting an ear-to-ear grin.

Jerry Lawler “Watch what you say now Ross!”

Jim Ross “Speak of the devil and he shall come.”

Jerry Lawler “Hey!”

McMahon power walks to the ring before entering through the ropes and being handed a microphone. The boo’s finally die down and McMahon raises the WWF Title in one hand and a microphone to this mouth with the other.

Vince McMahon “Screw you Austin, it’s mine!”

The crowd give a psyched up McMahon hell.

Vince McMahon “Screw you Austin! You refused to play the game. You refused to do business! You thought you could screw Vince McMahon and look where it got you Austin. It got you on the end of an ass whooping by two monsters and it left you without the WWF Championship!”

The crowd boo and start to chant “Austin”. McMahon starts to calm down.

Vince McMahon “You people can chant his name all you want. You people can do what ever the hell you want! It doesn’t matter if you chant for Stone Cold, it doesn’t matter if you wish really hard. You can get down on your knees and pray to God almighty and it wouldn’t matter! Steve Austin will not get this Title ever again and that’s a guaran-damn-tee!”

The crowd continue to boo as McMahon regains his composure again.

Vince McMahon “You see Austin. You could of done it the easy way. You could have been a successful champion. You could still of been champion! All you had to do was do business. I offered you opportunities to do negotiate and I lay out that provable olive branch Austin. But what did you do? You hit me with a Stone Cold Stunner!”

The crowd go nuts at this, as McMahon looks sick before regaining his composure.

Vince McMahon “And why Austin? Why? Was it for the support of these idiots? (The crowd boo.) Was it because you wanted to be that badass rebel that nobody could tame? Was it because you wanted to stamp your authority over Vince McMahon? Well it doesn’t matter now Austin! You didn’t stamp your authority over anyone and sure as hell got tamed. These fans may still love you. (The crowd cheer.) But what does that give you Austin? Nothing! And what do I have? I have the WWF Title!”

Asshole chants start up and McMahon waits for them to die down.

Vince McMahon “Chant whatever the hell you want! I don’t care. Because Steve Austin is no longer the WWF Champion and as long as I’m owner of this company, hell as long as I’m alive, he will never get another Title Shot! And that’s a McMahon guaran-damn-………………………………………..”

Out of nowhere and cutting McMahon off mid sentence Steve Austin’s music starts up and the crowd go nuts as McMahon looks like he wants to do a runner!

Jim Ross “It’s the rattlesnake! The rattlesnake is here! Good god the rattlesnake is here!”

Jerry Lawler “Oh no!”

Austin appears from the back looking very pissed off and doesn’t take his eye’s off McMahon as he enters the ring. McMahon gulps, as Austin approach’s him. Austin snatches the microphone off McMahon.

Steve Austin “So you’re not gonna give me another title shot? You’re not gonna give Stone Cold another title shot? Well I’m not gonna give you a choice McMahon. That title there in your possession is mind! And I’ll kick any ass that gets in my damn way!”

The crowd go nuts and Austin stares at McMahon before leaning in to him.

Steve Austin “Starting with you, you son of a bitch!”

The crowd go nuts as McMahon backs off and Austin stalks him. Suddenly the lights go out and when they appear back on McMahon is on the outside with Austin in the ring alone with Kane and Undertaker!

Jim Ross “Austin’s all alone!”

Jerry Lawler “No where to run JR!”

Jim Ross “Austin won’t run King. I promise you that!”

The crowd get behind Austin as he attacks both men with right hands and shakes both men but eventually gets nailed with an Undertaker uppercut knocking him down. Kane and Taker picks up Austin and both men drill Austin with a double Chokeslam to the disgust of the crowd and delight of Mr McMahon. McMahon enters the ring and starts to laugh and slaps Kane on the chest and then Undertaker. Out of nowhere and to the delight of the crowd Kane grabs McMahon by the throat as Undertaker grabs a microphone.

Jerry Lawler “Ah! What is Undertaker doing?”

McMahon looks scared to death as Taker begins to speak.

The Undertaker “You’re Title? You’re Title? McMahon you screwed us. And now you’ll pay the price.”

The crowd go wild as McMahon pleads for his life before finally getting his words across.

Vince McMahon “No. No. The real champion. The real champion.”

McMahon can’t get his words out so Taker releases him and McMahon catches his breath before being handed another microphone.

Vince McMahon “I’m not champion.”

The Undertaker “Who is the champion?”

Vince gulps knowing Taker won’t like his response.

Vince McMahon “I don’t know.”

Taker starts to approach Vince again while Kane just looks on.

Vince McMahon “Look Taker. Taker. I promise you that once business is taken care of then I will tell you who the champion is. I promise you that. Please believe me.”

Taker stops his approach.

The Undertaker “You better not be screwing us.”

Vince looks somewhat relieved at this withdrawal from Taker and gets his cocky tone once again.

Vince McMahon “I guarantee it! And to prove to you my intentions, tonight I’m going to make a match. Tonight it’s going to be Kane and The Undertaker Vs “Stone Cold” Steve Austin!”

McMahon smiles before leaving the ring looking a very relieved yet cocky man.

Jim Ross “McMahon! That son of a bitch! Just screwed Austin again!”

Jerry Lawler “Watch your potty-mouth JR! Vince McMahon is a very fair man!”

Jim Ross “You know you make me sick!”

Jerry Lawler “Huh?”

Jim Ross “This whole situation makes me sick!”

Commercial Break

Bradshaw Vs Vader

Both men clash in a rematch from last night’s pay-per-view but this time under normal rules. Both men tie up and Vader gains control when he runs through Bradshaw. The momentum goes to Bradshaw when he avoids a Vader splash in the corner. Bradshaw keeps control with basic brawling until Vader nails a powerslam for a near fall. Vader drags Bradshaw to the corner and climbs the ropes looking for the Vader Bomb. Bradshaw gets his knees up and runs off the ropes to nail the Clothesline From Hell. Bradshaw covers for the three.

Jim Ross “Well at least Bradshaw kept his mouth clean tonight King!”

Jerry Lawler “Yeh, any of what we had last night and we might have got cancelled JR!”

Action switches to the back and Michael Cole standing by with Ken Shamrock.

Michael Cole “Shamrock. You requested this time?”

Ken Shamrock “I didn’t request this time! I demanded it!”

Michael Cole “Ok. What would you like to get off your chest?”

Ken Shamrock “I want to make it clear to you! The people in this arena! And everybody sitting at home! That last night I did not lose at Breakdown! I didn’t lose!”

Michael Cole “With all due respect. You were the one who was pinned.”

Shamrock stares at Cole who takes a step back.

Ken Shamrock “Only because I was hit over the head with a damn chair! Mankind is the one who hit me with a chair and let Rock pin me. It was he fault! Not mine! Mankind lost the match! And tonight I’m gonna prove it, tonight I’m gonna get some revenge. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Shamrock walks off looking pumped up.

Jim Ross “Well I don’t like the sound of that King!”

Jerry Lawler “ I tell you what I don’t like! I don’t like Michael Cole’s attitude towards Shamrock! He should watch his mouth JR!”

Commercial Break

Darren Drosdov Vs Mankind

Two losers from their respective matches last night tie up to start. Mankind takes control with a knee to the gut and keeps control with vicious brawling. Mankind takes the action to the outside and throws Drosdov into the steps and bounces his head of the announce table. Droz does get some offence in when he reverses a whip and sends Mankind into the security barrier. Droz throws Mankind into the ring and covers but only gets a two. Droz pounds away at Mankind until Mankind reverses in the corner and pounds away at Droz mercilessly before choking him on the bottom rope. Mankind picks up the win when he locks in the Mandible Claw and forces a submission. After the match Shamrock appears from the back and attacks Mankind from behind. Shamrock nails a belly-to-belly suplex and goes outside for a chair. Shamrock nails Mankind with the chair and continues to attack Mankind in the midsection with the chair until officials finally drag an intense Shamrock off. Shamrock starts to regain control of himself as the crowd boo’s ring around the arena.

Jim Ross “That was totally uncalled for by Shamrock!”

Jerry Lawler “Mankind’s idiocy cost Shamrock a shot at the WWF Championship JR!”

Jim Ross “Yeh right! Let me ask you who brought the steel chair into the cage in the first place last night?”

Jerry Lawler “I don’t remember that JR!”

Jim Ross “Well that’s funny because it was your buddy Ken Shamrock!”

Jerry Lawler “Well that’s irrelevant anyway.”

Jim Ross “Yeh King, course it is.”

Commercial Break

As we come back Edge is in the back and wants some answers from Gangrel. Edge manages to catch up with Gangrel.

Edge “What is my brother doing here?”

Gangrel smiles before answering

Gangrel “Your brother came home and so shall you.”

Gangrel walks off leaving a confused Edge.

Jim Ross “Come home? What does that mean?”

Jerry Lawler “Brother?”

Action switches to The Rock to huge cheers and the rest of The Nation are with him.

The Rock “The Rock is glad you are in his locker room. The Rock wanted you to hear what he had to say face to face!”

The crowd cheer as Owen, Mark and D’lo looked confused.

The Rock “Last night The Rock became the number one contender to the WWF Title in front of the millions (AND MILLIONS) of The Rock’s fans. The Rock did what he said would do……………………”

D’lo Brown “Look will you just get to the point.”

Rock makes an over exaggerated shocked expression.

The Rock “I’m sorry D’lo? Is The Rock keeping you from something? Is The Rock taking up your precious time?”

D’lo Brown “Well actually…………..”

The Rock “Shut up!”

The crowd go nuts, as D’lo looks pissed off.

The Rock “The Rock says that now he is the number one contender and the people’s champ, he no longer wants to associate with ruddy poo candy ass jabronis like you and that tub of lard next to you!”

The crowd cheer as D’lo restrains Henry.

Owen Hart “What are you saying Rock?”

The Rock “The Rock is saying that as of this moment, The Nation and The Rock are done, finished, caput. Over!”

The crowd cheer as D’lo smiles.

D’lo Brown “You think we’re gonna just let you leave? You think it’s that easy? When you leave The Nation it’ll be because we don’t want you, not because you want to leave!”

D’lo slaps the chops of The Rock and Rock starts to lay down some smack to the delight of the crowd. Henry steps in though and D’lo and Henry beat down Rock with Owen not sure what to do. The crowd are giving real heat until Owen steps in to even the odds and the crowd go nuts. Owen and The Rock beat the hell out of D’lo and Mark Henry bouncing heads off tables and walls. Then they throw them out the dressing room. Rock looks at Owen and Owen looks at Rock before both men shake heads to each other in respect as the crowd cheer.

Jim Ross “The Rock and Owen showing mutual respect in a way words cannot express!”

Jerry Lawler “But JR if I know D’lo and Mark Henry then I know there’s going to be hell to pay!”

Jim Ross “Sadly I think you’re right!”

The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) Vs The New Age Outlaws (“Bad Ass” Billy Gunn & Road Dogg)

Road Dogg came out and did his usual opening along with Billy Gunn. The Outlaws squash The Headbangers with little to no offence from their opponents. Billy Gunn picks up the win with the Fame Asser.

Commercial Break

Steve Blackman Vs Val Venis w Terri Runnels

Val brought his new bit of skirt with him to ringside and was coming off the back of a huge win at Breakdown. Val controlled the early going with basic brawling and some speed and power too. Blackman got into the match with a stiff martial arts kick but Val was too much and regained control with a spinebuster and hit the Money Shot for the win. Val and Terri celebrate in the ring with some tonsil hockey until the lights go out and a voice can be heard. The voice proclaims, “Val would be judge for his sins. Judgement Day would be soon……………..” Val and Terri stopped kissing and looking worried head to the back.

Jim Ross “Was that Dustin Runnels?”

Jerry Lawler “Who else could it be?”

Commercial Break

Jeff Jarrett’s music plays and Jarret appears from the back with brand new guitar and accompanied by the lovely Debra. The crowd give Jarrett some boo’s but the males sure like Debra.

Jim Ross “Well here comes Jeff Jarrett King and ever since losing his long hair Jarrett has a new attitude.”

Jerry Lawler “And a new lovely assistant! Woo-ho! Come balance my books Debra!”

Jim Ross “Yeh she’ll change your finance situation in a hurry.”

Jerry Lawler “Oh JR! Haha.”

Jarrett makes his way to the ring and Debra holds the middle rope open for him as he enters. Debra then grabs Jarrett a microphone.

Jeff Jarrett “Will you people shut the hell up!”

The crowd boo.

Jeff Jarrett “I didn’t come out here to listen to you idiots. I came out here so you idiots could listen to me!”

Debra claps as the crowd boo some more.

Jeff Jarrett “As you people may have noticed, last night me and Southern Justice took on DX to devastating consequences for one of them. Take a look at the footage!”

Jarrett points to the Titantron, which shows footage of Jarrett blasting his guitar over the head of X Pac at Breakdown last night.

Jeff Jarrett “Now X Pac couldn’t be here tonight due to that shot right there. X Pac is in hospital having his eye seen to by specialists. And that’s all because of me, Jeff Jarrett!”

The crowd boo as Jarrett smiles and Debra claps.

Jeff Jarrett “Now let that be a warning to anybody else in the back. You don’t mess with Jeff Jarrett and you sure as hell don’t piss me of…………………..”

“Are you ready?” DX’s theme starts up to the delight of the crowd and Triple H appears from the back with Chyna in his shadow.

Jim Ross “Well Jeff Jarrett is scheduled to take on Triple H here tonight and you know Triple H will be looking for revenge for that guitar shot!”

Jerry Lawler “Yeh? Well he can keep looking.”

The entrance for Triple H switches between his entrance video and Triple H’s entrance until Triple H stands in the middle of the ring and does the crotch chop as fireworks go off behind and then taunts to the crowd on the ropes. Triple H then grabs a microphone.

Triple H “Jarrett. Why don’t you just shut the hell up!”

The crowd cheer. Jarrett looks pissed off and advances on Triple H.

Triple H “Wait one second Jarrett. I have business to take care of.”

Jarrett takes a step back looking ticked off.

Triple H “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and to the millions watching at home. Lets get ready to suc……………………………”

Jarrett punches Triple H knocking him down and starting the match much to the disgust of the crowd.

Jeff Jarrett w Debra Vs Triple H w Chyna

Jarrett stomps away at Triple H on the floor and backs Triple H into a corner where Jarrett stomps away some more. Jarrett keeps the upper hand and doesn’t give Triple H time to breath with a merciless none stop bump and grind attack. Triple H finally gets some breathing space with an inverted atomic drop and clothesline. Triple H keeps control until Debra jumps on the apron to provide a distraction. Chyna soon pulls her down but Jarrett takes advantage with a club from behind. Jarrett has control and starts to work the legs. Triple H regains control when Jarrett goes for the Figure Four but gets kicked against the turnbuckle. Jarrett stumbles around and is kneed in the gut and pedigreed. Triple H covers for the three.

Commercial Break

Taker enters the ring and Austin stomps away at him and then hammers away at him. A so far absent Kane then nails Austin from behind and the crowd sense a beatdown. Kane and Taker start to mercilessly double-team Austin with hard-hitting offence and power moves. McMahon cheers on both men from the outside and the action spills to the outside again when Kane and Taker both throw Austin into the steel steps and take him up the ramp way with merciless kicks, punches and throws into the guard rail.

Jim Ross “This is just merciless! Stop this damn it!”

[botchedpiledriver]

The dialogue in the promos is very wooden. Thats the only problem I can see thus far really, your match writing isn't bad, but your promo's and interviews are really letting you down. Plenty of room for improvement.

[NobBe Nobbs]

The promos aren't particularly good, I agree, but the commentary is excellent. Lawler and Ross have always been my favourite partnership and you more or less have the essence of them down. Keep them coming.

WWF Raw Is War Preview

October 5th 1998

Breslin Center – East Lansing, Michigan

At the end of Raw last week The Rock stood tall with the WWF Championship in his grasp, what will Raw have in store for us this week as we come to you live from the Breslin Center?

The Rock may have been holding the title but he is not the champion, that is still a question that needs to be answered by Vince McMahon tonight. What will Vince’s decision be? Will we have a new champion named tonight? One thing is for sure and that is The Rock and Steve Austin teaming up to take on Kane and The Undertaker!

At Breakdown Jeff Jarrett took out X Pac with a vicious guitar shot to the head. At Judgement Day these two men will face off for the European Championship! Tonight however a still injured X Pac will have to rely on his stable mates in DX to get the job done as the New Age Outlaws and Triple H take on Jeff Jarrett and Southern Justice three on three!

With a world title situation to sort out, massive six-man tag action and so much more Raw is unmissable this week!

Live October 5th 1998

Breslin Center – East Lansing, Michigan

Raw hits the air with a recap of last weeks ending and Rock standing tall with the WWF Title. The Raw opening video plays through before we are taken through a pyrotechnic display. We are then shown various signs in the crowd before we taken to our announce team, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Jim Ross “Welcome everybody to Raw is War and King last week, The Rock sent a clear message to Mr McMahon”

Jerry Lawler “Rock had no business coming out here last week, and this week Mr McMahon will make sure he gets his!”

Gangrel Vs Steven Regal

A basic squash. Gangrel picks up the win with the Impaler after little opponent offence.

Jim Ross “That was an impressive win for Gangrel!”

The cameras switch to backstage and Val Venis’s dressing room. Val and Terri have just realised from a kissing clutch.

Terri “What the matter Val? You seem tense.”

Val Venis “It’s this whole business with your husband last week. It’s freaking me out.”

Terri starts to run her fingers up and down Val.

Terri “Don’t worry Val, Dustin is all talk. You’re the bigger man.”

Val starts to laugh

Val Venis “In every sense of the word.”

Val starts to kiss Terri and lies her down on the sofa before the cameras switch back ringside.

Jim Ross “Good god! This is disgusting!”

Jerry Lawler “Why do the cameras always go black at the best part.”

Jim Ross “Come on King, that women’s got a husband and child.”

Jerry Lawler “Shut up JR! You’re ruining the mood!”

Jim Ross “Good grief.”

Commercial Break

D’lo Brown & Mark Henry Vs The Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy)

Just a squash match for both Nation members here. Matt and Jeff do get some offence in with a hot tag and Jeff taking both men down with right hands. Matt and Jeff whip Henry off the ropes but he rebounds with a double clothesline and follows up with a big splash on Jeff for the win. D’lo and Henry celebrate in the ring until Owen Hart interrupts on the stage.

Owen Hart “Hey, hey. Cut the music!”

Henry and D’lo look at Owen with some contempt.

Owen Hart “You wondering why I’m out here? Well let me tell you why. I’m here to lay down a challenge. A challenge for Judgement Day. Owen Hart Vs D’lo Brown and Mark Henry in a handicap match!”

D’lo and Henry look somewhat bemused but shout to Owen he’s on and nod their heads.

Owen Hart “Oh don’t be too confused! This is a new chapter in Owen Hart’s book. You see I’m sick of playing second best! Whether it be to my brother or to you! I’m sick of being in somebody’s shadow! So at Judgement Day I assert my independence!”

Owen throws the microphone down to the cheers of some of the crowd.

Jim Ross “Owen Hart gets his match King but how wise it is, I don’t know.”

Jerry Lawler “Right. Why in the hell would anybody want to face both D’lo and Mark Henry in a handicap match?”

Commercial Break

“No Chance that’s what ‘cha got” Vince McMahon’s music hits the arena as we come back to Raw and the capacity crowd let the world know their contempt for the owner of the WWF.

Jim Ross “Well here comes Mr McMahon.”

Jerry Lawler “Stand up JR!”

Jim Ross “Yeh, just give me a minute there King.”

A pissed off McMahon appears from the back to the disgust of the crowd and he has the WWF Title in his grasp. McMahon powerwalks to the ring before entering and being handed a microphone.

Vince McMahon “Just who in the hell do you think you are Rock!”

The crowd continue to give McMahon hell.

Vince McMahon “Who do you think you are to lay your hands on Vincent Kennedy McMahon? Who the hell do you think you are to Rock Bottom me in the middle of this ring………………………………..”

The cheers of the crowd interrupt McMahon.

Vince McMahon “Oh you people like that don’t ya? Well Rock acts such as yours cannot go unpunished. You will learn that you don’t cross the boss and you sure as hell don’t lay your hands on a McMahon dammit!”

The crowd start to chant for Rock.

Vince McMahon “Now onto business! I have a vacant World Title and that means I don’t have a champion. Now that isn’t good for business. I also have a number one contender whose contendership is in question.”

McMahon pauses, as JR sounds somewhat bemused on commentary.

Vince McMahon “You see it’s true that The Rock did win a number one contender’s match at Breakdown against Mankind and Shamrock. However the circumstances in which he won that match are somewhat suspect. You see Rock pinned Shamrock after Mankind had hit the decisive blow and was climbing over the top and to me this just doesn’t seem right. Now we all know I’m a very fair man and therefore, therefore in the interest of fairness I have set up a new match at Judgement Day. At Judgement Day it will be The Rock Vs Kane Vs The Undertaker in a triple threat match to determine a new number one contender!”

The crowd boo as McMahon smiles.

Vince McMahon “Now onto my other order of business. That of naming a new champion. You see I have decided to award the title to somebody who truly deserves it. A top athlete in this business and a beer drinking, finger gesturing son of a bitch!”

The crowd go nuts in anticipation of Stone Cold’s name.

Vince McMahon “That’s right. Our new WWF Champion “Stone Cold” Vince McMahon!”

The crowd boo loudly as McMahon starts to motion for some beers. He is thrown some but he drops them and has to pick them up from the canvas. McMahon climbs the turnbuckle and toasts the crowd who are giving real heat. McMahon drops the beers and gives the finger to the crowd before posing some more and holding the Title above his head.

Jim Ross “What the hell! Is Vince McMahon crazy?”

Jerry Lawler “That’s our new WWF Champion JR!”

Michael Cole “No I…………………………”

The Rock “Shut your skinny as up!”

The crowd go nuts as Rock grabs the microphone from Cole.

The Rock “Now The Rock heard you McMahon. The Rock heard you talking smack to The Rock, saying The Rock didn’t win fair, saying The Rock wasn’t the number one contender. The Rock saw the little match you made at Judgement Day and The Rock saw you give yourself the WWF Title. Well The Rock says you can throw two more jabronis in my way and it doesn’t matter. The Rock says you can give yourself the title and it doesn’t matter. The Rock says he’s won a triple threat before and goddamn it he’ll win a triple threat again for the millions (AND MILLIONS) of The Rock’s fans and The Rock says you can throw whatever obstacle in his path. The Rock says you can summon the great ghost of Cesar and it won’t stop him because The Rock is, and will forever be the People’s Champ!”

Terri enters the ring and both her and Val start to swap spit in the middle of the ring. Suddenly Val’s music stops and a voice is heard. “Judgement Day, Val Venis will repent for his sins.” Val and Terri look shell shocked in the middle of the ring.

Jim Ross “What the hell, I guess this means at Judgement Day it will be Val Venis Vs Dustin Runnels?”

Jerry Lawler “Or Goldust JR?”

The action switches to the back and Undertaker and Kane to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

The Undertaker “McMahon thinks he can screw with us. McMahon thinks he use as pawns in his game of chess.”

Kane just looks at Undertaker.

The Undertaker “We will play McMahon’s game for now. We will be his pawns for as long as is needed. But when the time comes McMahon will face his Judgement Day and we will extract our bloody revenge.”

Kane starts to look more intense.

The Undertaker “Stone Cold fell to us. Rock will fall to us. And McMahon will be out final target. We will fulfil our destiny and take what is rightfully ours.”

Kane just stares at Undertaker as the crowd seem somewhat excited by Taker’s words.

Jerry Lawler “Is it a full moon JR?”

There has been a vast improvement in your writing of promo's since I raised the point. I like the length of your writing, it's straight to the point and effective. But remember, people have different tastes, and you may not always be aplauded for the length of your writing.

Hopefully you will continue this diary, and continue to improve. ^_^

[Guest Jules]

Didn't have that much hope for this when I saw the first couple of events, with the matches about 4-5 lines long. However, your recent Sunday Night Heat I enjoyed reading, and match writing has improved. Hopefully you'll continue in this way, and I'll still be reading.

Keep up the good work man.

WWF Raw Is War Preview

October 12th 1998

Nassau Coliseum – Uniondale, Long Island, New York

At the end of Raw last week we heard that at Judgement Day Steve Austin and Vince McMahon would go one on one for the WWF Championship! How will the WWF owner respond as we come to you live from the Nassau Coliseum?

Last week X Pac made his return much to the chagrin of Jeff Jarrett and Southern Justice. This week before their match at Judgement Day, Jeff Jarrett faces stable mate Triple H in a non-title match. Can Jarrett gain the momentum he needs for Judgement Day?

With this and so much more, you can’t afford to miss Raw this week!

Gangrel begins to laugh.

Gangrel “Impatience is deadly. If you can beat me at Judgement Day, I will give you the answer’s you seek.”

The Raw opening video plays through before we are taken through a pyrotechnic display. We are then shown various signs in the crowd before we taken to our announce team, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Jim Ross “Welcome everybody to Raw! And it seems we have a new match for Judgement Day!”

Mankind this Sunday. Remember JR, at Judgement Day there will be no disqualifications!”

Commercial Break

As we come back to Raw Vince McMahon is in his office talking to Commissioner Sergeant Slaughter.

Vince McMahon “What am I going to do? Austin’s a maniac and at Judgement Day I’m locked into a match with him!”

Sergeant Slaughter “There’s no way out of the match?”

McMahon gets agitated

Vince McMahon “Damn it! Don’t you listen? I’m locked into the match! I’m the champion and Austin has reactivated his rematch clause. I’m screwed!”

Sergeant Slaughter “Then what if Austin couldn’t make it to Judgement Day?”

Vince McMahon “What are you getting at?”

Sergeant Slaughter “Tonight “Stone Cold” Steve Austin takes on the WWF Tag Team Champions in a handicap match!”

McMahon beings to smile.

Vince McMahon “And Austin Vs The New Age Outlaws is only the start! Tonight I guaran-damn-tee that “Stone Cold” will not reach Illinois!”

McMahon and Slaughter laugh.

Jim Ross “What in the hell does McMahon have in store for “Stone Cold”? Is a handicap match not enough for this man?”

Jerry Lawler “It’s all apart of his master plan JR!”

Mankind Vs Steve Blackman

Mankind takes control with a clothesline and starts to bump and grind Blackman to oblivion. Blackman hits back with a spinning heel kick and locks Mankind into a front face lock. Mankind escapes and throws Blackman off the ropes before nailing him with a knee to the gut. Mankind goes outside and grabs a chair. The referee pleads with Mankind but he still nails Blackman with the chair. The ref calls for the bell and runs out the ring when Mankind turns his attention to him.

Jim Ross “First Shamrock and now Mankind! This Sunday is going to be a war!”

Mankind grabs a microphone.

Mankind “Kenny boy. Kenny. Uncle Mankind saw what you did earlier to a poor defenceless man. And I, I loved it! I want you to bring that this Sunday Kenny boy! I want to see my own blood; I want to hear my own screams. I want you to look into my eyes and see my joy as you crash that chair over my head! I want to feel your rage as you pound away at me again and again and again! I want you to give me everything you have and see if it’s enough to beat me! I don’t care about winning or losing, I just want to feel, and inflict, pain!”

Mankind drops the microphone and manically walks to the back.

Jerry Lawler “Don’t worry Mankind you idiot! Shamrock will make you feel pain, I can promise you that!”

Commercial Break

As we come back to Raw Terri Runnels is making her way down to the ring wearing very skin generous clothing to the delight of the male crowd.

Jerry Lawler “Puppies! Puppies JR!”

Jim Ross “Would you calm down King?”

Jerry Lawler “But JR! Puppies!”

Terri continues to the ring and enters under the bottom rope.

Terri Runnels “I’ve come out here for one reason. Dustin. You and me have some issues to sort out. I think everybody would agree that our marriage is in trouble and Dustin I want to sort it out. So baby would you please come out?”

Goldusts music hits and Dustin Runnels appears from the back in full Goldust attire to some cheers. He walks to the ring in a golden haze and takes his wig and robe off before entering the ring. Goldust grabs a microphone.

Goldust “So you want to sort things out? After sleeping with another man and making a fool out of me you want to sort things out? I don’t want anything to do with a common gutter slut like you!”

The crowd cheer this statement as Terri gets pissed off.

Terri Runnels “Oh and I suppose you’re perfect? I suppose you’re blameless? Where were you when your wife and kid needed you last year? When I needed my husband and you daughter needed her daddy? Where were you?”

Goldust starts to come around when from nowhere Val Venis attacks. Val boots Goldust on the floor and drops some elbows. Val throws Goldust off the ropes and nails a spinebuster.

Terri Runnels “Screw you Dustin! Screw you!”

Val Venis “No Terri. More like, screw you.”

Val and Terri start to make out in the ring as Goldust lies on the floor recovering.

Jerry Lawler “Yeh right.”

“Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?” The Rock’s music hits and Kane and Taker look to the entranceway as the crowd cheer. Rock outsmarts them when he comes through the crowd to their delight. Rock nails both men with a chair and continues to hammer away at both on the floor. Rock backs up and as Taker struggles up knocks him down with a running chairshot. Kane gets up and Rock drops the chair before nailing a Rock Bottom. Rock stands over as the crowd go nuts.

Jerry Lawler “Ah!”

Jim Ross “The Rock just sent a message King and that message was that he is gonna become number one contender this Sunday!”

Rock leaves but turns around to see first Undertaker and then Kane sit up and looks a bit shocked.

Jerry Lawler “Haha. Nothing can keep the brothers down JR! This Sunday Rock is history!”

We are taken to the back and Kevin Kelly is with Owen Hart.

Kevin Kelly “Owen this Sunday you challenged D’lo Brown and Mark Henry to a handicap match. What everybody wants to know is, why? Why would anybody in their right mind request a match of this type?”

Owen Hart “Why? Why? Let me explain something to you. All my life I’ve been a lackey, a shadow, second best. When I first got into the business it was to my brother. While I sat back and did my thing he was out there winning WWF Title’s and having everybody talk about him. Then after he left people still talked about him until finally a joined The Nation but then, but then it was always The Rock this and D’lo this and Mark Henry this. Nobody cared about Owen Hart. Nobody gave a crap about me and nobody gave me any chances. Throughout my life I’ve never been given a fair chance, so starting this Sunday. I’ll make them!”

Commercial Break

As we come back come back to Raw Austin is walking in the back to the cheers of the fans and he bump into The New Age Outlaws who also get some cheers.

Road Dogg “Look Bad Ass and I want you to know we’re not cool with this whole handicap thing man. We respect you Austin and thing this is whack but need you to understand that tonight, we’re still gonna kick your ass.”

The crowd anticipate a bad response from Austin.

Steve Austin “And you boys need to understand I don’t give a flying shit what you have to say.”

Billy Gunn “You should watch your mouth considering your situation.”

Steve Austin “You guys may be loved by the fans but that won’t stop Stone Cold beating the living heel outta you boys. So why don’t you do yourselves a favour and get the hell outta my sight!”

Austin walks off as Road Dogg keeps Gunn back.

Jerry Lawler “Austin needs to learn that allies are useful JR.”

Jim Ross “Austin trust’s no one King.”

Jim Ross “Welcome everybody to the sold out Rosemont Horizon and Judgment Day!”

The cameras focus on our announce team Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Jim Ross “And tonight King should prove to be a historic night in our business!”

Jerry Lawler “That’s right JR! Tonight, for the first time in WWF history we are going to have to cancel a main event!”

Jim Ross “What? Are you kidding me King?”

Jerry Lawler “Steve Austin is in no condition to wrestle JR. I can tell you that first hand. He suffered severe internal injuries on Monday and there is no chance in hell that Austin will even be here tonight!”

Jim Ross “I disagree King, I know the rattlesnake won’t let us down!”

Jim Ross “Oh come on! What the hell is this?”

Jerry Lawler “Love it or hate it JR. It’s smart tag team wrestling.”

The figure enters the ring and both men square off in the middle with Edge’s face one of total shock.

Michael Cole “Tonight you two take on The Rock in a triple threat match. The question on everybody’s mind is will you two work together?”

Kane and Taker take a look at each other before Taker speaks.

The Undertaker “Kane and I have reached an understanding. The only thing I guarantee is that the soul of The Rock will be tainted with his blood and not the glory he seeks.”

Michael Cole “So ultimately who will take the fall and allow his brother to win?”

Both men again look at each other.

The Undertaker “Not only is that not the business of you or anybody else here, it is not the important issue. The issue here the extracting of the soul of The Rock and what we leave will be a shell of a man.”

Michael Cole “With all due respect. At Breakdown an agreement was pledge by yourself and yet neither man ended up with the title.”

The Undertaker advances at Cole looking pissed off. Cole steps back.

The Undertaker “Michael Cole I would watch your mouth and realise what stands in front of you.”

Taker takes a step back and looks into the camera as it zooms in.

The Undertaker “Rock. Tonight you come here with dreams of gold and glory. You come here to beat the reaper and the devil and become a savoir. But tonight the only thing you’ll be doing, is sacrificing you soul to the reaper, and your heart to the devil. Rest In Peace.”

Jim Ross “The two remaining members of The Nation take on former member Owen Hart in a handicap match.”

Jerry Lawler “Yeh JR. How smart is Owen though? I mean why would anyone ask to take on two men, particularly when those two men are D’lo and Mark Henry?”

Jim Ross “Owen Hart has something to prove King.”

Jerry Lawler “Well if it’s that he’s an idiot then he’s done it.”

Jim Ross “Seems D’lo doesn’t want any of Owen.”

Jerry Lawler “It’s not that JR, why not use a man the size of Mark Henry when you can?”

Owen bounces off the ropes and jumps at Henry but he catches Owen and slams him before covering for a two count. Henry picks Owen up and starts to hammer away at him and backs him into the corner. Henry continues to pound away at Owen in the corner and then starts to choke him with his huge hands. The referee calls for the break and Owen is clearly gasping for air. Henry backs off and charges at Owen but Owen moves and Henry hits nothing but turnbuckle.

Jim Ross “This is Owen’s opportunity to ground the big man.”

Owen hammers away at Henry and throws him off the ropes before nailing a dropkick. Owen covers but Henry powers out. Henry charges at Owen but is taken down with a drop toehold and locks on to perform a leg lock.

D’lo drops down and locks a chinlock onto Owen.

Jim Ross “D’lo slowing the pace here.”

Jerry Lawler “That’s good strategy JR. If the pace is fast then Owen has the advantage. This way D’lo gets a rest and keeps the pressure on Owen.”

Owen with the crowd behind him starts to get to his feet and elbows D’lo in the gut before throwing him off the ropes. Owen jumps onto D’lo’s shoulders looking for a hurricanarana but D’lo catches the legs and delivers a big sit down powerbomb. Owen barely escapes on 2! D’lo stomps away angrily at Owen and drops a few elbows before covering again for a 2. D’lo starts to get frustrated and shouts at the referee again.

Jerry Lawler “Don’t get frustrated D’lo! Owen hasn’t got much left just put him away with another powerbomb!”

D’lo picks up Owen and synchs him between his leg signalling for a running powerbomb much to King’s joy on commentary. D’lo gets Owen up but Owen slips down and nails D’lo in the gut before hitting a suplex. Both men need a tag and D’lo crawls over to tag Henry and Owen instinctively crawls to his corner.

Jim Ross “Owen has no one to tag King!”

Jerry Lawler “He’s an idiot! Haha!”

Jim Ross “I don’t think so King, it’s just instinctive.”

Owen gets to his corner realises he has no one tag and with a look of grimace gets up as D’lo tags in Henry. Henry charges at and nails a fatigued Owen in the corner with a huge splash. Owen drops to the floor and Henry drags him back up and slaps him in the corner. Henry pounds away at Owen who can no longer defend himself. Henry whips Owen to the opposing corner and charges but Owen manoeuvres around to trap Henry in a schoolboy and uses the ropes but the referee sees and stops the count.

Jerry Lawler “Did you see that JR? Did you see that? Owen Hart’s a cheat!”

Jim Ross “I have to believe Owen Hart is just trying to survive King.”

Owen throws D’lo off the ropes and takes him over the top with a clothesline. Owen picks up Henry and jumps up on his shoulders to nail a hurricanarana! Owen looks for the Sharpshooter on Henry but Henry legs are too strong and he kicks Owen away D’lo tries to come into the ring with a chair and the referee stops him but with this distraction Owen nails a low blow to some cheers. Owen takes D’lo out with a baseball slide and the chair nails him in the face. Owen locks the Sharpshooter onto Henry in the middle of the ring.

Jim Ross “Sharpshooter! Sharpshooter!”

Jerry Lawler “Oh no! Hold on Mark! D’lo where are you?”

Henry pushes himself up but the pain becomes unbearable as Hart synchs back up. Henry is screaming in agony. Henry taps out!

Jerry Lawler “Oh no! What is he doing?”

Jim Ross “Owen Hart has done it King. He beat two top superstars all by himself!”

Owen gets out the ring quickly as D’lo re enters with a chair and the referee raises Owen’s hand on the outside before Owen exits. D’lo looks at Henry withering in pain on the floor and looks disgusted. Henry struggles to his feet and D’lo shouts at him and Henry apologises. D’lo backs off looking satisfied with the apology before nailing Henry with a chair from nowhere to some pops!

Jim Ross “What the hell? D’lo just nailed his own partner!”

Jerry Lawler “Good, Henry just cost them a match and humiliated them by tapping out JR.”

Jim Ross “It was the Sharpshooter King! Many in our business have tapped out to it. It’s a deadly move, there’s no shame.”

Jerry Lawler “Mark Henry just gave up. No excuses JR.”

Jim Ross “And I suppose you’ve never tapped out to the Sharpshooter?”

Jerry Lawler “Shut up JR, that’s not the point.”

Jim Ross “Yes it is King!”

Jerry Lawler “A big win for Owen Hart here tonight!”

Jim Ross “King!”

Jerry Lawler “ A big big win.”

Austin is seen walking backstage to a big pop. He knocks on a dressing room door and enters. Earl Hebner is on the other side.

Steve Austin “I need a word with you.”

Earl Hebner “Can it wait? I’m kinda busy.”

Earl goes to walk past Stone Cold but Stone Cold puts his arm out to stop him.

Steve Austin “No! It can’t wait!”

Earl sighs before speaking.

Earl Hebner “What is it Steve?”

Steve Austin “You’re busy so I’ll get straight to the point. Tonight that son of a bitch McMahon’s gonna try and screw me in our match, it doesn’t take a rocket scientists to figure that out.”

Earl Hebner “Oh. Don’t worry Steve I’ll be on guard, don’t worry.”

Austin begins to laugh.

Steve Austin “Well as reassuring as that is I actually am here for a different reason. I want you to promise me that tonight you won’t let Vince get himself DQed in order to stop me winning the title.”

Earl Hebner “I can’t promise that Steve, I don’t make the rules. You know that.”

Steve Austin “Let me put it a different way. If you DQ McMahon tonight and cost me the WWF title. I will open a can of whoop ass on your sorry ass!”

Austin stares with his snake eyes right into Hebner’s soul. Earl is clearly shaken.

Earl Hebner “F-f-fine. I promise that tonight Vince McMahon can’t be DQed.”

Austin smiles

Steve Austin “I’m glad you see it that way.”

Austin walks off.

Jim Ross “Austin negotiating with referee Earl Hebner to ensure McMahon can’t take the easy way out!”

Jerry Lawler “Negotiating? You call that negotiating?”

Jim Ross “Austin only wanted to make sure McMahon can’t weasel out of this one, that’s all King.”

Jerry Lawler “Well Earl better remember who pays his wages!”

Jim Ross “Val Venis is gonna find out that paybacks a bitch!”

Goldust slides into the ring and ducks a Venis clothesline and rebounds with a flying clothesline of his own right off the bat.

Val uses the time to recover and take the turnbuckle pad off, unbeknown to Goldust or the referee.

Jim Ross “What the hell is this? What is Val doing? I thought he was a big man but he can’t fight fair?”

Jerry Lawler “He is just looking to survive JR. Goldust is a maniac! Tell me this JR, why hasn’t he been disqualified yet?”

Jerry Lawler “Huh?”

Val picks up Goldust and places him in the corner and hammers away at the bleeding head. The referee looks bemused as to why the padding is off and tries to move Val out the way in order to place it back on. Val doesn’t move though and continues his assault until he whips Goldust to the opposing buckle and the referee uses this to place the turnbuckle pad back on.

Jim Ross “Good god! What the hell is this?”

Jerry Lawler “Never trust a women JR. They always hit you where it hurts.”

Val gets to his feet and stomps away at Goldust on the floor. Val then grabs the chair and stares manically at Goldust on the floor.

Suddenly Pat Patterson appears on the rampway and the music dies down.

Pat Patterson “Austin. There have been some changes made to tonight’s match. First, let me introduce to you, the special guest referee, Gerald Briscoe!”

Jerry Lawler “Haha! Slaughter getting the job done!”

Slaughter helps a groggy McMahon to his feet and both men drag Austin to the to the rampway. Slaughter throws Austin on the floor and stomps away at him before throwing him into the guardrail. A still groggy McMahon sends a reluctant Slaughter to the back and gets a sick smile on his face.

WWF Raw Is War Preview

October 19th 1998

Bradley Center – Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Last night was a dramatic night for the WWF and tonight we have the fallout, live from Milwaukee.

The new WWF Champion, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will be in the house tonight and so will the new number on contender, The Rock! Fireworks are sure to fly with these two huge fan favourites egos, but The Rock has to keep his mind on business when he takes on Mankind.

The Rock beat Kane and The Undertaker due to a lack of cooperation between the two brothers last night. Tonight there is sure to be huge tensions as both men are here, in the Bradley Center!

With all this, an Intercontinental Title match and all the rest of the fallout from Judgment Day, tonight is sure to be an unforgettable night!
