WWF.com Superstars Results.

Jim Ross and ‘The Hotrod’ Rowdy Roddy Piper Were the announcers for Superstars. If you missed it why? [PWNews.com Comments - Because it was poop, and I had better things to do like watch WCW!]

Tatanka defeated long time journeyman “Hardwork” Bobby Walker with his flying elbow from the top rope in a good match. Also “The Knight” Barry Windham used his power and experience to defeat Adam Copeland. Goldust defeated Steve Armstrong and in the Main Event Marc Mero and Savio Vega were on the losing end to The Royal Team when Brian Pillman came down and proved a distraction to Vega!

Also during the show the New Rockers had words to say about The Smoking Gunns ahead of their big Tag Team Title match upcoming at In Your House 9. Also Marc Mero and Sable shared a passionate Kiss after Mero admitted he has really fallen for the lovely Sable.

So Yeah, I watched WCW! And guess what it sucked too. WCW featured all Squash matches and nothing worth talking about. The state of Sunday Night Wrestling is dreadful! I mean if their isn’t a PPV Wrestling just plain Sucks on Sunday Nights. Anyway onto some interesting news about Superstars.

Vince = Pissed off!

Vince McMahon was literally livid about what happened on Superstars. The Overall quality of the show was just dreadful and even he knew it. The man in Charge of Booking Superstars, is Paul Bearer. He was installed with the job on the quiet a few weeks ago and has already lost confidents in his job from Vince and everyone! Wrestlers were turning down the pay to appear on the show, they’d rather have no air time and less pay then appear on Superstars which used to be one of the flagship shows for the WWF. Even with the brilliant Jim Ross and Rowdy Piper on Commentatory (Which is worth watching the shity show) Vince is almost begging the USA network to pull it! it’s the first time I’ve ever since a Promoter ask for his TV show to get pulled.

A Insider side “Vince knows that Superstars will never get better, Plus he can’t Fired Percy (Paul Bearer) as he just signed a one year booking deal on Superstars.” The WWF is looking for a new show on another Network as we speak. However the twist in the road for the WWF is that the USA network really like the ratings the show provides. It lost to WCW however (which is equally as bad) this past week by getting a 2.84 were WCW Worldwide got a 2.90.

Oh and a quick note on Superstars, it could have been the last show, as next weeks is a preview to the PPV.

Piper finally signs and other various notes

Roddy Piper has finally re-signed with the WWF, this comes as Piper is scheduled to be on WWF a lot over the next few months. The angle between Mero and Sable on Superstars wasn’t Paul Bearer’s idea. In fact Mero pitched the idea to Bearer to have a exclusive Superstars angle to help the show. Bearer declined, so Mero went to McMahon who liked the lay out so went ahead with it. Also “Hardwork” Bobby Walker is said to be getting a lot of praise within the WWF for making others look really good. Pat Patterson is reporting begging him to join the USWA for some tuning but Bearer wants him to job out! (As you can probably tell Bearer is featuring a lot in the WWF at this minute!) And Speaking of Bearer his return to TV is set for the PPV. Canadian worker Adam Copeland is also being praised of his putting over of Barry Windham. Windham said after the match that Copeland helped shake some of the ring rust off out their. And finally a Raw Spoiler

Dutch Mantell has been reported to have been telling friends that he will be in Atlanta on Monday for the Monday Night Raw Mid-Day Tapings!

[Note: I decided not to write up Raw and Superstars results in the form of PWNews.com. Instead I’ll just write about it.]

Jim Ross and Vince McMahon welcomes us to the show as Monday Night Raw kicked of with the Portuguese man of War, Aldo Montoya hopping to the ring. He would be facing… Skip!

Aldo Montoya V Skip

Skip took control of Aldo from the out set. Skip worked over Aldo’s neck with a tight Neck vice. He pulled away on Aldo’s Arms too. Aldo couldn’t mount any real comeback during the match. The end finally came after when Skip nailed a vicious Piledriver on Aldo Montoya and got the 3 count. As Skip was walking to the back, from the crowd came a Man in a mask. He climbed the top rope, He positioned himself! (Montoya was still down from the Piledriver!) This man in the mask just launched himself doing reverse flip on the Portuguese man of war! That was damn impressive, but who was he? He took off his jacket and revealed a AJPW T-Shirt! Is this a Invasion? He then quickly climbed back over the security wall and high tailed it out of the arena.

The Camera cut to Vince McMahon who announced that due to Health conditions WWF President Gorilla Monsoon has had to step down. This comes just 24 hours after Monsoon was rushed to Hospital. McMahon also said that tonight the substitute WWF President will be announced later on in the show.

Stone Cold Steve Austin who will face Jake Roberts at In Your House 9: International Incident, in a Texas Death Match where the loser must leave the WWF made his way to the ring. He berated Jake Roberts, calling him a drunk, a loser and other nasty things until Jake Roberts came down. Austin attacked the Snakeman before he could get to his feet. As Austin pounded away on Roberts! From the back came the 1-2-3 Kid with a Chair chasing off Stone Cold!

We see a Man in a cowboy hat walking down the corridor. He keeps looking around like his lost. He stops and asks someone! It turns out to be Rowdy Roddy Piper who he asks. This man in the Cowboy hat asks if he has seen Vince McMahon? Piper belittles him calling him a dumbass and whatnot! Piper then walks off leaving the man less than happy!

Goldust and Marlena was at the Interview booth with Doc Hendrik’s. Goldust stated that Ahmed hasn’t been on WFF TV since Goldust took him out, and he proved that he was more than a pretty face by taking out the badass Ahmed Johnson. He said that At In Your House he, Kama and Mankind would defeat The Undertaker’s team because their like a B-Rate movie! Crap! Then from the other Side came Brian Pillman into shot. Pillman and Goldust looked at each other in a weird way which was kind of funny. Pillman then directed his attention to the camera, all the while Goldust was looking at Pillman. Pillman said Savio was in for it at In Your House, and he was going to get the Pillman ball rolling! At the end of the interview Goldust said “We should be partners one time?” Pillman responded with “Freak!” And that was that.

Bob Holly V Mankind

Bob Holly was in the ring awaiting his opponent Mankind. Vince McMahon and Jim Ross showed us what was in store for In Your House 9. Mankind came out he wasn’t in the mood to mess about. He destroyed Bob Holly in seconds with punch after punch. He finished off Holly with the Manibal Claw. Mankind rocked backwards and forwards as he screamed the name UNDERTAKER! UNDERTAKER!

Marc Mero V Kama

After came back after a commercial Break with the Supreme Fighting Machine Kama. He was set to face Marc Mero. Both men traded hands at the start of the match. Mero used his speed to wear out Kama. Mero hit some big impact moves like A Suplex, A German Suplex, A Flying Dropkick from the top rope and flying cross body, but still couldn’t put Kama down for the 3 count. Kama rolled to the outside and grabbed a chair, he had enough of the Mero! As Kama could into the ring, Sable got the apron to tell the ref! Mero knocked the chair out of Kama’s hands, He had a glare in his eyes! He swings for Kama! NO! He missed and hit Sable! Sable crumbled to the ground! Mero was heartbroken. Kama nailed him from behind! Pump Handle Slam! 1-2-3! Paramedics came down to attend to Sable as Mero was in pieces.

He saw Shawn Statisk in a locker with the lights dimmed. He said that at In Your House, a Ravishing Unveiling with happen. His Manager will debut in a special body Pose down! He also went on to say that he deserves a shot at a title and that he fed up about that!

We came back to Monday Night Raw with Vince McMahon. He was about to announce who was going to take over from Gorilla Monsoon as WWF President on a Part-Time basis! But He was cut off From Rowdy Roddy Piper who got a huge pop! Piper said that he did the job before, so why should someone get the job? Vince said that the board of Directors made the choice not him! Vince said it could be Piper, he has yet to open the paper! He read the piece of Paper out:

“The man who takes over from Gorilla Monsoon as the WWF President on a Part-Time basis is Old-School to the bone. His held titles around the world, His faced the best and beat the best.”

Piper was glowing, he knew that that description sounds like him!

“This man is…….. Dutch Mantell!”

Piper looked confused as to who he was, much like the crowd! This man stepped thought the curtain, it was the guy in the Cowboy hat that Piper ran down! Piper’s jaw dropped! Mantell gave Piper a look as Vince left the ring! Mantell said that he was going to make WWF run like a Old-School well oiled machine! He said that Loud mouth Scottish Punks are not welcome! Piper was ready to deck him! Mantell left the ring with these words

“Just when you think you know the answer, I change the questions!” Piper was Livid!

We came back form a Commercial break with Ross and McMahon telling and showing us what happened this evening so far. Plus what we had in store! They also announced that HHH has accepted a Worldwide open challenge from Sid at the PPV. Shawn Michaels Music played.

“It’s been a long time since I spoke to you all!” Said HBK as the crowd popped!

“Now Jerry Lawler creeped his way into the 10 Man Battle Royal a few weeks ago, for the chance to face me. I’m cool with that, but what I’m not cool with is having your boys come out and beat me up like they did last week! Now I understand your old Jerry Lawler, and that your “Queen” Is a two bit slut! [Crowd Popped] But You come out here and fight like a man!”

The sound of the King’s music played as he appeared from the back with Queen Sunny.

“Shawn, You don’t the half of what I have in store off you at In Your House. I could have debut a new member of my court, or have the crowd at ringside? I could have your best friend turn on you? Or I could beat you the old fashion way with Technical Ability. But for now HBK! I’ll prefer to let you sweat it out a little! Boys Get him!”

Then from the crowd came Barry Windham, Brian Christopher, and The Royal Team who all pouched on HBK. They bust him up, and held him for Lawler to leave the finishing mark! PILEDRIVER! Jerry Lawler along with Queen Sunny held up the belt while standing Over HBK’s Bloody body!

8 Man Tag Match

Up Next was the 8 Man Tag match! We came back from a break to see Ron Simmons who was the final match on his team to come out! HHH, Yokozuna and Owen Hart where already there. Vader was next to come out! He and James E. Cornette proceeded to come out when the British Bulldog came out. He looked at Cornette with a look of “What about me?” Cornette was having none of it! Diesel came out next. He got huge heat, Razor Ramon didn’t even wait for his music, he came flying out and started a fight with Diesel. As Officials came to try to separate them, Diesel levelled Razor with a strong right hand that knocked him off a loop! Razor was cut above his right eye and left to the back for treatemtn as the match began!

HHH was the whipping boy for the whole match. As Yokozuna finally tagged in, Owen Hart came from behind and nailed him! Vader and Bulldog then joined the fight, taking out the big man! Owen then went to ringside with James Cornette as Yoko was worked on! Ron Simmons saw Razor back, and tried to get to him, But Razor fought him off and went for Diesel again. The fought all the way to the back! Yoko managed to tag HHH, but HHH was caught they a strong clothesline from Bulldog! Power slam! 1-2... Owen pulled Bulldog off! He said he wanted his team to win! As they argued Vader splashed HHH and got the 3 count! Vader was standing tall as the show went off the air but will that be the case come Sunday?

WWF News and Notes

Dutch Mantell who debuted last night, is set to be the Colour commentator along side Jim Ross on Superstars instead of Rowdy Roddy Piper a few weeks back. One thing led to another and Gorilla Monsoon got ill so Mantell was bought in to do that. It is seen as though Mantell is set to do the job for a little while but it's long term thing.

Barry Windham is set to break away from the King's court. He doesn't wear anything that looks like a knight or royal, plus he has said he doesn't enjoy being in a stable to much. Vince is said to be very high on Windham and sees him as someone the WWF can use for a long time.

Bobby Eaton who we reported a few months ago, asked for his release from WCW but was denied has re-asked again. This time WCW said he could buy his contract out. Eaton who is friends with Jim Ross and Jim Cornette who are high up in the WWF is said to be trying to get Vince to sign Eaton.
