Voice Over- The World Wrestling Federation for over fifty years the revolutionary force in sports entertainment.

Wrestlemania XII opens up with a video package hyping the big main event for tonight between the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels and the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart. The video shows footage from both men's careers here in the World Wrestling Federation. Starting off with the challenger. It shows Michaels when he was in The Rockers all the way to where he is now. It shows footage of Michaels' famous moments including the famous splash off of the top of the ladder two years ago. The video then shows clips of Bret Hart's career in the WWF. It shows Hart's journey to the top and it also shows his famous moments of "The Hitman" including his WWF Championship win two years ago at Wrestlemania XII with the famous scene with WWF Superstars holding Hart up on their shoulder. We're shown footage of the confrontation between Michaels and Hart. It shows their handshake. The video ends with footage of both men celebrating wins and also both men down and out in defeat. Tonight there can only be one WWF Champion. Who will it be? The "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels or Bret "The Hitman" Hart? Once the video ends we're taken to The Arrowhead Pond where pyros go off from the rafters and the crowd is going wild. It's WRESTLEMANIA! On the screen we're shown the attendance number for tonight's huge Pay Per View event which is 17,542 on hand for Wrestlemania XII tonight! The camera pans through the huge sold out crowd tonight as Vince McMahon hypes the fact that tickets for this huge event are sold out! We get a shot of the entrance way and then the ring which has the Wrestlemania XII logo on it. We're then taken to our announce position where our announcers for Wrestlemania XII are Vince McMahon and Jim Ross! Both men are wearing suits for Wrestlemania XII as the fans continue going wild cheering.

Vince McMahon- Welcome to the biggest event in the history of the World Wrestling Federation! Welcome to the greatest sporting event! Welcome to the New WWF Generation! Welcome to WWF Wrestlemania XII! We are live from the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California! We have been sold out for weeks and now the time has finally come for Wrestlemania XII! Over 17,000 fans on hand for what will no doubt be the biggest Wrestlemania of all time! I'm Vince McMahon alongside Jim Ross. And Jim Ross what a huge event Wrestlemania XII is going to be! Nine huge matches scheduled to take place tonight! With the main event of course being Bret "The Hitman" Hart defending the World Wrestling Federation Championship against the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels! What a huge match up that one is going to be! The biggest main event in Wrestlemania history! And tonight the big question is who will walk out as the World Wrestling Federation Champion?

Jim Ross- What a great atmosphere here in Anaheim. What a electric crowd here Vince. All of them jam packed this arena to see the huge battle between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Half of the fans here came to see Shawn Michaels being crowned the new WWF Champion while the other half have come here to see Bret Hart excellently execute the "Heart Break Kid". This is Wrestlemania XII. The biggest event of all time. This is the New WWF Generation and this is Wrestlemania. This is the real biggest spectacle in sports entertainment history. And the main event is Shawn Michaels challenging Bret Hart for the WWF Championship. Vince there is nothing bigger than a Wrestlemania. What a huge, huge event this is going to be.

Vince McMahon- Tonight we also got "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel facing Undertaker in a Casket Match! Diesel versus Undertaker is truly a dream match that everyone of these fans have been wanting to see. And the question is who will come out on top? Diesel or Undertaker? These two monsters have been on a path of destruction but there can only be one giant left standing. Who will it be?

Jim Ross- Vince I have been waiting to see these two men go at it for a very long time. We have two men who are near seven feet tall and well over the three hundred pound mark. Can "The Genetic Wonder" Diesel put away the "The Phenom" Undertaker tonight in a Casket Match? This is Undertaker's type of match but if anyone can do it in my view it's Diesel. What a physical fight this one is going to be. These two bulls are going to put on a match that these people will never forget.

Vince McMahon- Also tonight Razor Ramon challenges Goldust for the WWF Intercontinental Championship in the first ever Miami Street Fight! Goldust beat Razor Ramon in January for the title thanks to help from Ramon's arch nemesis Sean Waltman. Tonight is Razor's first chance to get the gold back. And for the record Razor Ramon is a former four time Intercontinental Champion which is a record here in the World Wrestling Federation. Tonight can he beat the new aggressive Goldust?

Jim Ross- That's another fight I'm looking forward to. Because we all know it won't be a match. It'll be a Miami Street Fight. Razor Ramon is known for whipping some butt in street fights but this new aggressive side of Goldust is something to not take too lightly. I want to see what'll happen in that fight. And I suggest Marlena stay out of this one because knowing Razor Ramon's attitude towards this match he'll end up punching her lights out.

Vince McMahon- Well lets hope it doesn't get that violent. But then again anything can happen in the New WWF Generation. Fans lets start Wrestlemania XII off with a huge six men tag team match up! It'll be Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Bob Holly and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart facing Sean Waltman and Steve Austin of The Corporation. Ted DiBiase says that there will be a mystery partner for Waltman and Austin tonight who's a big impact player! Lets take you to the ring for six men tag team action!

Booker Thoughts- A pretty good six men tag team match up here. The crowd wasn't into it that much until the ending but the match served it's purpose. Al Snow who is a member of The Corporation was suppose to be in this match instead of Albert but Snow went down with a tricep injury last month. The WWF had many people lined up for the mystery man but they didn't see them fitting into The Corporation as well as Albert. Some of the people the WWF had in mind were Justin Hawk Bradshaw, Brian Lee, Steve Blackman and the newly hired Simon Diamond even Chris Kanyon was considered for the role. The WWF went with Albert because putting him with a group might get him more over with the fans and The Corporation also needed some muscle behind it. There where rumors of Ted DiBiase returning to action here but they were fake. DiBiase can't wrestle another match since suffering a neck injury in 1993.

Vince McMahon- What a big win for The Corporation! I would have never guessed that Albert would be their newest member. What a pick up by Ted DiBiase! Albert is a monster!

Jim Ross- Ted DiBiase picked up a real stud in my view Vince, Albert just destroyed Jake "The Snake" Roberts with the A-Bomb. I have never seen a maneuver as devastating as that A-Bomb. Albert is only twenty three years of age and he has already made a huge impact on the World Wrestling Federation. Hell of a match too.

Vince McMahon- Ted DiBiase's Corporation seem to be unbeatable. And next month we understand Al Snow will return to action that's another big member of The Corporation right there.

Jim Ross- Yeah when Al Snow returns The Corporation will be alot stronger. They already have Albert, Sean Waltman, Steve Austin, Crush, Chris Chavis and Kama. Add the returning Al Snow and Ted DiBiase and you got yourself a huge group.

Vince McMahon- Fans in any event coming up next it'll be Vader taking on Yokozuna. This is a match that everyone has been waiting to see. Who will win? The 458 pound Vader or the 600 pound Yokozuna?

Jim Ross- Oh what a match that one is going to be. Two huge monsters fighting it out. Can Yokozuna beat Vader here tonight? I think it'll happen Vince. These two monsters will pound the heck out of each other and there can only be one winner.

Vince McMahon- If you remember Yokozuna turned on Vader after the Royal Rumble when Vader eliminated his fellow Camp Cornette member. Since then these two men have been on a collision path. Will James E. Cornette play a role in this one?

Jim Ross- Well Cornette better not try to get involved in this one or knowing Yokozuna we could be seeing the last of James E. Cornette tonight at Wrestlemania XII.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take a look at how this one came about!

::::::::::::::::::::: A video highlight is shown over the Yokozuna and Vader feud. At the Royal Rumble Vader eliminated his fellow Camp Cornette member. The next night on Monday Night Raw Vader cost Yokozuna their match against Smoking Gunns for the WWF Tag Team Championship when he wouldn't let Yokozuna tag him into the match. Afterwards Yokozuna shoved Cornette on his behind and he and the man they call Vader went to blows! Since then these two monsters have been going at it all over the place. Tonight which one of these two men will dominate the WWF? ::::::::::::::::::::::::

Yokozuna Vs. Vader with James E. Cornette

Both men were very over with the crowd here tonight. When Vader's music hit the arena and James E. Cornette lead the man they call Vader down to the ring the fans gave Vader the biggest heat of the night thus far. Yokozuna came down to the ring looking ready for a fight to a big pop from the fans in the sold out Arrowhead Pond. Referee Chad Patton quickly called for the bell and both men right after each other slugging it out! Yokozuna and Vader hammered away on each other with huge right hands! Yokozuna got the best of Vader and backed Vader into the corner! Yokozuna nailed Vader in the face with huge right hands as the fans wend wild! Chad Patton tried to pull Yokozuna off of Vader but Yokozuna shoved Patton down to the canvas! Patton instead of disqualifying Yokozuna warned Yokozuna. This allowed Vader to nail Yokozuna from behind! Vader backed Yokozuna into the corner and nailed Yokozuna with stiff right hands to the face! Patton counted to four and Vader stopped beating down Yokozuna. Vader sent Yokozuna to the opposite corner and came charging at Yokozuna, But Yokozuna moved out of the way and Vader crashed into the turnbuckle chest first! Vader came out of the corner right into a big body avalanche from Yokozuna putting Vader down! Yokozuna lifted Vader up and hammered Vader in the midsection with right hands. Yokozuna connected with a big oriental chop to the chest of Vader! Yokozuna followed up with a big headbutt putting Vader down on the canvas! Yokozuna called for the Banzai Drop to a huge ovation from the fans! But Vader quickly rolled out to the floor to boos from the sold out crowd. Referee Chad Patton began to count Vader out as Yokozuna stood in the ring. 1--------2----------3--------4----------5-----6------ Vader got back on the apron with James E. Cornette cheering him on. Vader came back into the ring and taunted Yokozuna flexing his "muscles". Both men locked up and Yokozuna threw Vader right down to the canvas! Yokozuna went after Vader and hammered away on Vader back in the corner! Yokozuna pounded away on Vader before sending Vader to the opposite corner. Yokozuna came charging at Vader and connected with a avalanche! Yokozuna lifted Vader up to his feet and locked Vader into a bearhug! Yokozuna squeezed the life out of Vader while Cornette screamed at Vader to get out of the bearhug! Vader did just that too as he bit Yokozuna in the forehead making Yokozuna break the bearhug! Vader followed up by nailing Yokozuna with a stiff clothesline that rocked the 600 pounder but did not take him off of his feet! Vader connected with another clothesline that again rocked Yokozuna but did not take him off of his feet! Vader this time came off of the ropes with a clothesline that took the 600 pound Yokozuna off of his feet! Vader covered Yokozuna but Yokozuna easily kicked out. Vader dragged Yokozuna up by his hair and nailed Yokozuna in the face with a stiff right hand! Vader send Yokozuna for the ride and caught Yokozuna coming off of the ropes with a huge body avalanche sending Yokozuna down! Vader covered the large Yokozuna but Yokozuna easily kicked out again. Vader distracted referee Chad Patton which allowed James E. Cornette to nail Yokozuna with the tennis racket! Vader again covered Yokozuna but somehow Yokozuna kicked out. Vader lifted Yokozuna up and nailed Yokozuna with right hands to the midsection, Yokozuna went down to one knee after a big right hand to the ribs! Vader backed up into the ropes as Yokozuna was getting up, Vader came charging at Yokozuna but Yokozuna somehow took Vader down with a huge samoan drop! Both men laid down on the canvas as Chad Patton began to count both men out while Cornette screamed for Vader to get up. 1------------2------------3----------4-------------5--------------6--------------------7-----------8------- no! The count is broken as both men crawl up to their feet! Vader goes for a right hand but it's blocked! Yokozuna nails Vader with a big right hand! Yokozuna follows up by connecting with two more right hands to Vader's face! Yokozuna chops Vader and Vader goes down! Yokozuna pounds his chest and lets out a scream to cheers from the crowd! Vader gets up and Yokozuna hammers Vader with right hands! Yokozuna grabs Vader by the waist and delivers a huge belly to belly suplex! Vader slowly gets up and Yokozuna connects with a oriental kick to Vader's chest knocking Vader down! The fans cheer as Yokozuna yells out "Banzai"! Cornette gets up on the apron with his racket! Yokozuna goes over to Cornette and decks Cornette with a right hand! Yokozuna grabs Cornette's racket and nails Cornette with it!

Winner by Pin Fall: Vader

83, 89, 72 **1/4

Yokozuna gained overness from this feud ending.

Vader gained overness from this feud ending.

Booker Thoughts- A decent match up. It was alot better than most people were expecting considering both men aren't that good. The reason Yokozuna got beat down afterwards is because there's a rumor going around that the big man will take time off in the spring to lose weight. The WWF wants Yokozuna to get back to the weight he was when he first came to the WWF which was around the 500 pound mark. Right now Yokozuna's a 600 pounder. This match was also put on the show to make Vader seem like a true monster by beating Yokozuna and then beating the hell out of Yokozuna after the match was over. The match wasn't anything special but the crowd was into it and that's what counts.

Vince McMahon- Yokozuna has been destroyed! I have never seen anyone give Yokozuna a fight like that! It took two Vader bombs to put Yokozuna away! And then after the match Vader connected with two more Vader Bombs to Yokozuna! I have never seen Yokozuna left laid out in the ring like that. What a great match here at Wrestlemania XII!

Jim Ross- Never in my life have I seen Yokozuna left down in the center of the ring like that. I have never seen anyone take the fight to Yokozuna like the man they call Vader has. Vader destroyed Yokozuna tonight and afterwards he might have put Yokozuna out once and for all. I would have liked to see what would have happened if that sorry momma's boy Cornette hadn't gotten involved though.

Vince McMahon- Camp Cornette has started the night off pretty hot. But the question is can they continue it? Because later on in the night Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart defend the WWF Tag Team Championship.

Jim Ross- It could be a very good night for Camp Cornette. Cornette has already got one win for his team and later on Owen Hart and British Bulldog could walk out still the champions. But tonight Camp Cornette started off hot with Vader destroying Yokozuna.

Vince McMahon- Fans up next it'll be two men making their Wrestlemania debut. Marc Mero "The Wildman" takes on Hunter Hearst Helmsley! Hunter Hearst Helmsley chose Marc Mero to be his tag team partner and when they lose their match for the titles Helmsley got angry at Mero and slapped him! "The Wildman" returned the favor by beating Helmsley down. Since then these two men have been going at it like crazy!

Jim Ross- Well that disingenuous aristocrat blue blood snob Hunter Hearst Helmsley basically used Mero to try to get some gold. When it didn't work he tried to treat Mero like garbage. Mero responded by knocking Helmsley on his ass. I want to see Hunter Hearst Helmsley get the hell beat out of him tonight.

Vince McMahon- Most of the fans of the World Wrestling Federation do hate Hunter Hearst Helmsley. But like him or hate him you have to admit that he is one of the best wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation.

Jim Ross- He is one hell of a athlete Vince, But Hunter Hearst Helmsley is so over confident so cocky. He really does think that everyone in the WWF is trash.

Vince McMahon- We'll have to wait and see if Marc Mero can prove him wrong. Fans lets take a look at how this match came about.

::::::::::::::::: We're shown a video package highlighting the feud between Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Marc Mero narrated by Todd Pettengill. It shows all of the events leading up to Wrestlemania XII and the big question is has Hunter Hearst Helmsley angered the wrong man? :::::::::::::::::

Winner by Pin Fall: Marc Mero

88, 90, 85 ***1\2

Booker Thoughts- Match of the night thus far. Marc Mero sold the shoulder injury quite well and Hunter Hearst Helmsley played the heel character very well as well. The fans were into the match up and into Marc Mero. The ending got a big pop from the fans in attendance. Hunter Hearst Helmsley was scheduled to go over tonight but the WWF didn't want to job Marc Mero out too soon. There will be a rematch more than likely and I wouldn't be surprised if both men top this match. As far as a Wrestlemania debuts goes both Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley put on a great showing.

Vince McMahon- Marc Mero picks up the win! What a amazing showing by Marc Mero. His shoulder has got to be seriously hurt but he fought back and won the match. I have never seen a maneuver like Mero used to finish off Helmsley. What a maneuver that was! I can't believe my eyes!

Jim Ross- I never seen a sunset flip performed from the top turnbuckle like that. Marc Mero wrestled this match with a injured shoulder and somehow won. I have to give credit for Hunter Hearst Helmsley who put on a great showing but in the end tonight was Marc Mero's night. Big win and one hell of a Wrestlemania debut for "The Wildman".

Vince McMahon- Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley are two big stars in the New WWF Generation and you're not going to see talented wrestlers like Hunter Hearst Helmsley or Marc Mero anywhere else except for the World Wrestling Federation.

Jim Ross- Yeah the other federations can claim that they have the most talented stars in the world or they can claim their federation is the place where the big boys play but we all know the World Wrestling Federation is number one.

Vince McMahon- The WWF is certainly number one and it'll be number one for a very long time. Fans in any event up next it'll be a four corners tag team elimination match for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This is a first ever for the World Wrestling Federation. The teams involved are The Godwinns, Smoking Gunns, Chris Chavis and Kama and the WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart and British Bulldog. The rules are when one member of a team is eliminated the team must go to the back. The final team standing will be the tag team champions.

Jim Ross- I'm looking forward to this tag team match. All eight of these men are amazing athletes. Tonight I think that The Godwinns will be the new tag team champions. They're such a big team that no one in this match has a chance in my view.

Vince McMahon- Managers will be at ringside also. Cornette with the champions. Hillbilly Jim with The Godwinns and Ted DiBiase with Kama and Chavis. Smoking Gunns are the only ones by themselves.

Jim Ross- And that is what's going to be a big factor in this match. DiBiase and Cornette had a big night thus far and Hillbilly Jim is another excellent manager. Who will win this match?

Vince McMahon- We'll find out in just a moment. But fans next month the WWF comes to you live from Omaha, Nebraska for In Your House "Pride And Violence". And the event is sold out and you can only watch it on Pay Per View.

::::::::::::::::::::: We're shown an advertisement for next month's Pay Per View extravaganza. It'll be In Your House "Pride And Violence" live April 21st from Omaha, Nebraska. Thus far no matches have been announced but you can expect a great Pay Per View event from the World Wrestling Federation following Wrestlemania XII ::::::::::::::::::::

Owen shouted that the goat smelled worse than the hillbillies! Owen and Bulldog then refused to give the titles over to the time keeper! The Godwinns had to threaten Owen and Bulldog with their slop buckets which made Owen and Bulldog fork the belts over. Billy Gunn and Chris Chavis started this one off.

The Smoking Gunns double suplexed Chavis and Bart covered for a 2 count.

Referee Jack Doan began to count both men out as their partners asked for tags. 1----------2-----------------3----------4--------------5-----------6-------------7 Bart tags Billy Gunn in and Phineous tags Owen Hart in who doesn't look happy! Hart comes into the ring and gets run down by a big right hand from Billy Gunn. Bulldog argues with the referee and Billy Gunn decks him off the apron for good measure! Billy turns around and Owen comes charging at him, But Billy ends up delivering a huge powerslam to Owen! Billy hooks the legs but Owen kicks out at 2 to the relieve of James E. Cornette.

Winners by Pin Fall and STILL World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart and British Bulldog

76, 73, 80 **3/4

The WWF Tag Team titles have gained in image.

Booker Thoughts- A decent match up thanks to Owen Hart and British Bulldog who are easily the best tag team in the World Wrestling Federation right now. The titles were suggested to go to Chavis and Kama or even Smoking Gunns but the WWF feels neither one of those teams or any over to be the champions right now. Plus it seems like the WWF doesn't want to give single pushes to British Bulldog and Owen Hart just yet so keeping the titles on them will keep them happy for now.

Vince McMahon- Owen Hart and British Bulldog retain the titles here. Those two are certainly to sneak individuals.

Jim Ross- The Smoking Gunns had the match won except Davey Boy Smith was not the legal man in the ring. I find it hideous that Owen Hart and British Bulldog retain the titles when Owen and Bulldog didn't even want to get into the ring at times.

Vince McMahon- Well some would find it hideous but others would find it to be smart. Owen Hart and British Bulldog did what they had to do to retain the titles and I wouldn't be surprised to see any of those teams back in the tag title hunt. No one has great tag teams like the World Wrestling Federation that's for sure and Owen Hart and British Bulldog could get anyone to challenge them.

Jim Ross- I'm sure President Monsoon was watching this one and I'm sure one of those three teams will get a rematch down the line.

Vince McMahon- Up next though it's not about titles. It's about revenge and a score to settle. It'll be Crush taking on Ahmed Johnson. These two men have had a ugly brutal feud with one another that they're looking to settle here tonight. Crush has been on a rampage since returning to the World Wrestling Federation from being jailed and he took his aggressions out on Ahmed Johnson. This feud has been violent and now they're looking to settle the score. Who will win?

Jim Ross- Vince this one is going to be a straight up slobber knocker. I have waited for this one for a very long time. Who will win? This has been a violent feud and there can only be one winner.

Vince McMahon- Lets remind everyone watching that Ahmed Johnson is still undefeated. If Crush can end Ahmed Johnson's undefeated streak then Crush will no doubt become a major player here in the World Wrestling Federation that's for sure.

Jim Ross- Well I wouldn't could Ahmed Johnson out. Ahmed Johnson is the kind of man that you would not want to meet in a dark alley. He's a stud and tonight his mission is to take out Crush.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take a look at the dangerous convict known as Crush!

::::::::::::::: We're shown a video highlight of Crush's dominance in the WWF. Since Crush returned in January he has been on a war path. Crush went after Ahmed Johnson for no reason and took Ahmed Johnson out with the Heart Punch one of the most dangerous moves in the history of the WWF. Since then Crush and Ahmed Johnson have had a violent feud. Tonight it's time to settle the score. Who will win? Ahmed Johnson or the dangerous convict known as Crush? ::::::::::::::::::::::::

Crush Vs. Ahmed Johnson

Crush headed to the outside and picked up a steel chair! The crowd booed as Crush came back into the ring with the steel chair in his hand!

Johnson dropped the chair down and sent Crush for the ride....... Crush came off the ropes right into a huge spinebuster from Ahmed Johnson sending Crush right into the steel chair back first!

The fans booed as the theme of Crush played. Korderas raised Crush's hand high in the air as Ahmed Johnson is left down on the canvas. Crush exits the ring as Korderas checks on Ahmed Johnson who's not moving.

Winner by Pin Fall: Crush

82, 84, 78 **3/4

Ahmed Johnson gained overness from this match.

Crush gained overness from this match.

Ahmed Johnson gained overness from this feud ending.

Crush gained overness from this feud ending.

Booker Thoughts- Short match but then again these two can't go for too long. Ahmed Johnson did not want Crush going over cleanly so it was changed to Crush cheating. Johnson also got pissed at the feud ending because in his view Crush isn't in his league. Ahmed Johnson is scheduled to take time off until May so look for an injury angle to keep Johnson off of television. Crush on the other hand is still scheduled to get a huge push this year.

Edited September 9, 2004 by Baby Hewey

[Hewey]

Vince McMahon- No what a rotten way to end Ahmed Johnson's undefeated streak! It took a steel chair and three heart punches to get the job done not to mention that devastating version of the sleeper hold!

Jim Ross- What a sad ending to Ahmed Johnson's undefeated streak! He had Crush beaten in his own game! Crush did not deserve to beat the pearl river power house here tonight. Crush has robbed Ahmed Johnson tonight at Wrestlemania XII!

Vince McMahon- Ahmed Johnson looks seriously hurt here and I don't think he'll be in action for a couple of weeks if not months!Three heart punches could kill a man!

Jim Ross- Vince that heart punch has got to be the most dangerous move in all of professional wrestling. Three to the heart of Ahmed Johnson could have put Johnson in a emergency room. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ahmed Johnson stay out of action for a few weeks. This one was a true war.

Vince McMahon- Fans coming up next it'll be a Miami Street Fight for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Razor Ramon challenges Goldust for the title. And these two have been feuding since the beginning of the year. Goldust won the title off of Razor when Sean Waltman attacked Ramon before his match. Ramon wasn't in good condition and Goldust beat him for the belt. Tonight it's anything goes!

Jim Ross- This one is going to be a down and dirty fight. Razor Ramon wants to top his record for most Intercontinental title reigns and I think it could happen. But this new side of Goldust this new aggressive mean streak of him could be too much for Razor Ramon to handle.

Vince McMahon- If anyone can beat Goldust it's "The Bad Guy". Fans this one will not be pretty. It's a Miami Street Fight it's Ramon's specialty. Fans lets take a look at this feud and how these two men came together for Wrestlemania XII!

::::::::::::::::::::: We're shown a video package over the Goldust and Razor Ramon feud. It all started when Goldust seemed to be infatuated with "The Bad Guy". Razor didn't take it too kindly and challenged Goldust to a title match at the Royal Rumble. Ramon won by DQ when Sean Waltman got involved. The next week there was a rematch and thanks to Sean Waltman Goldust became the new Intercontinental Champion. Since then these two men have been going at it with Goldust displaying a new found mean streak. Tonight who will win the first ever Miami Street Fight? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Winner by Pin Fall and NEW World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion: Razor Ramon

93, 95, 90 ****

Goldust gained overness from this feud ending.

The WWF Intercontinental title has gained in image.

Booker Thoughts- A great match up here but their match at the Royal Rumble and on Monday Night Raw in January were better. This one was suppose to be a squash but in the end it was pretty even. The WWF didn't really want Goldust to hold onto the titles because rumors are going around that the sponsors have been worried but the "Goldust" gimmick saying it's too controversial. That's one of the reasons why Marlena was brought to the WWF and that is to tune down the character. There has been rumors going around that Goldust will get his own talk show segment in the WWF like Piper's Pit and the Heart Break Hotel.

Vince McMahon- Razor Ramon has won! What a victory for Razor! He is now a five time WWF Intercontinental Champion!

Jim Ross- What a butt kicking he gave Goldust! He nearly decapitated Goldust with that steel chair! What an awesome match up here at Wrestlemania XII. Razor Ramon has made history by becoming the only five time WWF Intercontinental Champion in history.

Vince McMahon- You have to give credit to Goldust who fought a tough battle but in the end it was not his night.

Jim Ross- The new aggressive side of Goldust did come into play but tonight was Razor's night. All of Goldust's mind games and what not didn't work tonight. But you have to give Goldust credit for fighting one hell of a fight.

Vince McMahon- Fans up next it's the Casket Match. Undertaker faces "Big Daddy Cool"! This one will not be pretty! These two monsters are meeting for the first time ever in the World Wrestling Federation. This is a dream match for many fans and the question is who will win?

Jim Ross- This is one of the matches all these people came to see. What a war it's going to be. A big physical battle between two men who are the best big men in the history of this business. The question is who will come out on top?

Vince McMahon- Diesel has gotten the best of Undertaker lately but if there's anyone that can put down "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel it's Undertaker. The winner will no doubt be one of the favorites to become the number one contender for the WWF Championship.

Jim Ross- Yeah President Monsoon is watching this one from the back and I can promise the fans that one of these men will be getting a World Wrestling Federation Championship match down the line.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take a look at these two monsters!

::::::::::::::::::: A video is shown hyping the upcoming Casket Match. It shows both Undertaker and Diesel's dominance in the World Wrestling Federation. This is the first time that these two monsters will be going at it and the question is who will come out on top as the winner? ::::::::::::::::::::::::

Diesel gained overness from this feud ending.

Booker Thoughts- This one was a great match. It was above anything that Diesel and Undertaker did last year and these two men put on a great match. Many people were expecting a * or maybe a ** match but these two put on a great match up. Both men were motivated here and the end result was a great match up. The crowd was into everything these two men did and the end result was a very good match. If Diesel is motivated for future big matches then the WWF keeping him is a good thing. Undertaker continues to shine this year and he will not go unnoticed.

Vince McMahon- Diesel put on a great effort and I thought he had Undertaker beat a couple times but in the end Undertaker came out on top. Never in my life have I seen a fight like this one. What a great match up.

Jim Ross- When the WWF talks about big stars going at it this ain't no half assed cage match effort like a certain company would give you.

Vince McMahon- Nope, The WWF is all about action and entertainment and these two men have entertained over 17,000 fans on hand for Wrestlemania XII. Fans up next it's Sycho Sid taking on Jeff Jarrett! This one goes back to last month's In Your House event where Jeff Jarrett cost Sycho Sid the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Tonight it's Sid's time for revenge.

Jim Ross- Jeff Jarrett claims that he's going to get rid of all the bad wrestlers in the company and what not but Sid ain't a bad wrestler. Sid is a stud. He's a horse and tonight I hope he whips Jarrett's butt.

Vince McMahon- Jeff Jarrett says that he's been screwed over by the World Wrestling Federation time and time again and he was clearly upset when Sycho Sid got the title shot instead of him. Jeff Jarrett says he's going to take out everyone in the WWF on his way to the top and he says tonight he's starting with Sycho Sid. Fans lets take a look at this feud and how it came to be!

The WWF World title has gained in image.

Booker Thoughts- Match of the year thus far. Michaels and Hart put on a tremendous match up. Both these men have totally stolen the show at Pay Per Views this year. First it was Hart and Undertaker at the Royal Rumble then Michaels and Owen Hart at In Your House "No Escape" last month. And then tonight at Wrestlemania XII these two men top their previous performances. The crowd was 50/50 here with at times booing both men and cheering both men. What a way for Shawn Michaels to win his first WWF Championship. Beating one of the best performers of the 90's at the biggest event of the year. Bret Hart put Shawn Michaels over big time here. However we understand that Bret Hart has been promised that when the time comes for a rematch with Michaels that Michaels will do the job. Reports indicate that both men talked it out and Michaels said he would return the favor to Bret Hart. Now the question is when is the big rematch going to happen? Right now there are no better performers than Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. The question is will Shawn Michaels be able to carry the ball as the champion?

Vince McMahon- Shawn Michaels has done it! Michaels has finally become the World Wrestling Federation Champion! The dream has come true for Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XII!

Jim Ross- HBK did it! He did at Wrestlemania XII! What a match! What a war! In the end Shawn Michaels overcame the odds and did it!

Vince McMahon- You have to give credit for Bret Hart for doing the ring thing and that was handing the title over to Michaels.

Jim Ross- Bret Hart will no doubt get a rematch in the future what a great match up this was. Tonight the better man won and the Shawn Michaels era is upon us.

Vince McMahon- Fans for all of us here at the World Wrestling Federation we thank you for joining us at Wrestlemania XII and we'll see you next month for In Your House!

Wrestlemania XII goes off the air with Shawn Michaels inside the ring posing with the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

Great PPV, even though Bret lost but at least it was a credible loss and losing to HBK ain't bad.

[Guest ryan_the_canuck]

Yokozuna vs. Mabel? *shudder*

Bret/HBK was well written, as was everything else...would have been almost a classic in real life, but not entirely.

[Guest Da-One-Da-Franchise]

Crap, Bret Hart lost

Other then that..Dude...You rock

[cactusguy]

I loved it. Way to pass the torch to Shawn. (Hopefully he'll return the favor later...) Anyway, great job. I wouldn't have booked it any differently.

[cjt4ever]

Woah, the main event was really well written. I think thsi has been your best work to date IMO, and that si saying something. Lets hope when these two have a rematch that these two can better this lol.

We're twenty four hours removed from Wrestlemania XII the biggest event in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. And last night the Kliq finally got what they wanted and that is Shawn Michaels as the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Last night Michaels defeated Bret "The Hitman" Hart in one of the greatest title matches in the history of the WWF to become the new champion. Tonight we're going to hear from the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels. What does Michaels have to say about being the new WWF Champion? Tonight we're going to get to hear it all from the new WWF Champion.

Speaking of Bret Hart, "The Hitman" won't be here tonight or this Friday night. We understand that Bret Hart has been giving this week off to nurse some injuries suffered awhile back. But next week Bret Hart will be in attendance and we'll hear Bret Hart's thoughts on his future in the World Wrestling Federation.

Ron Simmons will be returning to the WWF after making his debut at the Royal Rumble. Simmons was injured at the Rumble and tonight he's making his return in the main event of the evening! Tonight Ron Simmons goes one on one with Undertaker! If Simmons wins this one it'll be a huge win for the former Florida State football player. What kind of condition is Undertaker in after a brutal battle with Diesel last night?

Matches for Monday Night Raw

Goldust Vs. Marc Mero

Vader Vs. Marty Jannetty

Owen Hart and British Bulldog defend the WWF Tag Team Championship against Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

The Thrillseekers Vs. The Headbangers

The Thrillseekers are the young tag team of Lance Storm and "Lion Heart" Chris Jericho both who were trained in the dungeon in Calgary. Vince and Jim Ross spent most of the match talking about last night's Wrestlemania XII event and how Bret Hart isn't here tonight but he is scheduled to return next week to address the fans. McMahon also said that both Yokozuna and Ahmed Johnson had sustained injuries and that neither man would be in action for the month of April. This one was a pretty good match with The Thrillseekers looking very good in the ring but sadly the crowd didn't seem too interested in the match except for the high spots. The ending came when Lance Storm got the hot tag and threw Mosh out to the floor. Storm connected with a release german suplex to Thrasher and Chris Jericho followed up with a asai moonsault named the "Lion Sault" by Jim Ross. Storm covered Thrasher to score the pin fall. Afterwards Jericho and Storm celebrated their wins with the announcers hyping tonight's big main event.

Good Friends, Better Enemies!

Vince McMahon stands inside the ring with a microphone in his hand as Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break.

Vince McMahon- Ladies and gentlemen last night at Wrestlemania XII history was made. Last night we witnessed the dream come true for Shawn Michaels as he defeated Bret "The Hitman" Hart in one of the greatest battles to ever take place at Wrestlemania. In the end Shawn Michaels overcame the odds and became the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Tonight we're going to hear from the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Ladies and gentlemen it is my great pleasure and honor to introduce to you the new World Wrestling Federation Champion the one and the only "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels!

The fans go wild as Shawn Michaels' music hits plays. The new World Wrestling Federation Champion makes his way down to the ring in street clothing with the WWF Championship over his shoulder. Michaels gets inside the ring and poses as his pyro goes off behind him. Michaels then shakes McMahon's hand as the fans start chanting "HBK".

Vince McMahon- Shawn Michaels first of all congratulations on becoming the World Wrestling Federation champion. Last night it was a truly brutal battle between you and Bret Hart. In the end you overcame the odds and came out as the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Shawn Michaels how do you feel after a brutal battle like last night's war with "The Hitman"?

Shawn Michaels- Well Vin Man I do feel pretty banged up. Last night it was the biggest match of my life. I took a beating like never before. But it was worth it. Because today I stand as the World Wrestling Federation Champion. I'm on top of the WWF mountain Vin Man and there's no greater feeling than being the WWF Champion.

Vince McMahon- Bret Hart won't be here tonight or this Friday night as a result on injuries he's been dealing with. But Shawn Michaels after last night's war with "The Hitman" has your thoughts on him changed at all?

Shawn Michaels- Some of my thoughts on Bret Hart have changed. On one hand I still don't like him. But I have alot more respect for him after last night then I ever did. Bret Hart gave it everything he had and he beat old HBK down. But in the end "The Hitman" could not get the job done. I respect Bret Hart for a tough battle but like I said it before, Bret Hart might have been the best there was but right now I'm the best there is! I beat you last night for this title right here. You said to be the man you have to have the title and Bret Hart I'm the champion. I do appreciate your efforts in beating the hell out of me but sadly it didn't work.

Vince McMahon- Shawn Michaels the title is finally around your waist and now everyone will be going after you. Who do you want to face first?

Shawn Michaels- Anyone who wants a shot can have a shot at the gold. I been in this company for years now and I have waited for a very long time to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion. I will get the job done as champion. Undertaker, Owen Hart, Vader, British Bulldog, Bret Hart anyone who wants a title shot will get one. The WWF is all about competition and all about being the best. I will be the very best World Wrestling Federation Champion in the history of the WWF. I'll be handing title shots out to whoever wants it.

Vince McMahon- And of course there will be..............

Vince is interrupted by Diesel's music to huge heat from the crowd. Michaels and McMahon turn their attention over to the RAW entry way where "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel is standing with a microphone in his hand.

Diesel- Wait a minute Shawn. Hang on just a second. You're going to be handing out title shots. And you named those losers and didn't even bother to name me? Shawn if I'm not mistaken I beat you at last year's Wrestlemania. And when I turned on you I left and lying flat on your back with the Jackknife! So Shawn Michaels if anyone deserves a title shot it's me! And Shawn Michaels I will get my shot! I have yet to get my rematch for the WWF Championship. I have been without that title around my waist since November! It's now time for the title to come back around my waist. Hey Shawn you and I never settled our little issue when I turned on you. And you know now that you have the title we're both free. I'm done with Taker and you're done with Hart. How about you give me the title shot? Unless you're running scared of "The Genetic Wonder" that is.........

Shawn Michaels- You bet your ass I want to get even with you big man! You got your shot! Anytime, anywhere! Just name the place!

Diesel- Well I would like it tonight but I'm in no condition after giving Undertaker the beating of his life last night. But then again I don't feel like wrestling in this filthy state. So I'll tell you what Shawn. Sunday, April 21st you and I. In Your House "Pride And Violence". Put the World Wrestling Federation Championship on the line against a real man. Shawn it's all about the belt and I want it. What do you say?

Shawn Michaels- You got it! You and I In Your House "Pride And Violence" for the title! Diesel come April 21st the Kliq and I are going to be dancing all over your face big man!

Diesel- We'll see about that Shawn. Right now you only have a few days with that belt left because it's going to be coming around my waist April 21st!

Diesel's music played to boos as Shawn Michaels and Diesel stared each other down. Vince told us that Dok Hendrix is standing by with Razor Ramon!

Interview with Razor Ramon

Our cameras take us to the interview area backstage where Dok Hendrix is standing by with the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon!

Dok Hendrix- Vince and JR I'm standing by with the new Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon. And Razor Ramon last night you and Goldust were in a true fight. It was a Miami Street Fight with you coming out on top in the end when it was all said done. Razor Ramon now you are a give time Intercontinental Champion. Your thoughts on last night's huge Wrestlemania XII event?

Razor Ramon- Dok Hendrix man last night I did what I told everyone I was going to do and that is kick that freak Goldust's butt all over the Arrowhead Pond to become the first ever five time Intercontinental Champion. I gotta give that freak credit though he did give me a good fight but in the end the better man won. This Intercontinental Championship ain't leaving my waist anytime soon either.

Dok Hendrix- Razor Ramon what are your thoughts on what the future for "The Bad Guy" is going to be like?

Razor Ramon- What the future is going to be like chico? Quite simple actually. This year will be the year where "The Bad Guy" goes right to the top. This year I will get that World Wrestling Federation Championship around my waist chico. It will happen. All of these people want to see me as the WWF Champion and it will happen. Right now I'm the Intercontinental Champion but when I get a shot at the big gold I'm making my dreams come true!

Dok Hendrix- Thank you for your comments Razor Ramon. Fans don't go away because when Monday Night Raw returns we got our huge main event coming up!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Undertaker with Paul Bearer Vs. Ron Simmons

The crowd was into this battle. Simmons hasn't been on TV since the Royal Rumble where he was "injured" when in reality the WWF had nothing to do with him and were even considering letting him go. Simmons got good heat here as he attacked Undertaker from behind! Simmons worked over Undertaker's back and ribs here which were "injured" in his casket match with Diesel last night. Simmons dominated Undertaker in the beginning nailing Undertaker with right hands to his back and ribs. They brawled out on the floor where Simmons rammed Undertaker into the steel ring post and then he sent the man from the dark side to the steel steps! They went back inside the ring where Simmons continued giving Undertaker a vicious beating. Undertaker looked like he'd make a come back when the sold out crowd started chanting "rest in peace" but Simmons took him down with a stiff clothesline! Simmons came very close to winning after delivering a big spinebuster to Undertaker but somehow the phenom kicked out! Undertaker ended up making his big come back and hit Simmons with his signature maneuvers. Undertaker quickly delivered a Choke Slam to Ron Simmons and called for the Tombstone! Simmons staggered up to his feet and walked right into the Tombstone from Undertaker! Undertaker pinned Simmons scoring another win! Afterwards Paul Bearer came into the ring with the urn as Undertaker posed with the lights going off and then the purple lights coming on through out the arena in Los Angeles.

Not so fast Diesel!

Right after the match we're taken to the office of President Gorilla Monsoon where the President of the World Wrestling Federation is shown at his desk.

Gorilla Monsoon- Earlier tonight we had a match made for the next big Pay Per View which will be In Your House "Pride And Violence" live April 21st. We saw Shawn Michaels the new World Wrestling Federation Champion accept the challenge of one "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel. Well that match isn't going to happen. Well it could happen or it could not happen. As many you might remember I promised both Diesel and Undertaker the chance to become the number one contender in February. And I will keep my word. Because this Friday night a rematch from Wrestlemania will happen. Diesel takes on Undertaker in a singles match. A straight up one on one match up. And the winner will be the number one contender and the winner will meet Shawn Michaels at In Your House "Pride And Violence" for the WWF Championship. I thank you and wish you a good night.

Monday Night Raw goes off the air with the announcers in shock over Gorilla Monsoon's announcement. Who will it be? Undertaker or Diesel? Find out Friday night!
