WWF Free For All before In Your House "No Escape"

We're taken inside the sold out Louisville Gardens arena for the WWF Free For All here in the Preview Channel! The crowd looks hot and ready for WWF In Your House "No Escape" tonight! We're taken over to the announce position where Jim Ross and Vince McMahon are standing by both men wearing suits.

Vince McMahon- Hello and welcome to the WWF Free For All! We are live in the sold out Louisville Gardens arena! And we're just about thirty minutes away from WWF In Your House "No Escape"! And fans tonight live on the Preview Channel what a match the WWF is going to give you. Bob Holly takes on five hundred pounds of Mabel! If you remember Mabel is last year's King Of The Ring award winner! Can Bob Holly get the huge win over Mabel?

Jim Ross- It could happen Vince, Bob Holly is a legit stud in my view and if anyone can beat Mabel then it is Bob Holly. What a great match it should be between these two hoses in my opinion. No one has studs like Mabel and Bob Holly except the World Wrestling Federation.

Vince McMahon- Bob Holly and Mabel are two of the best WWF Superstars and they will give you a match like no one can.

Jim Ross- Yeah the WWF Superstars won't be slacking off tonight. This is the final Pay Per View before next months huge Wrestlemania XII event which is also sold out.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take you to the ring for some great Free For All action!

Mabel Vs. Bob Holly

Mabel and Bob Holly don't seem to be too over with the crowd for some reason even though Mabel did win the King Of The Ring last year. Match starts off with Holly nailing the King Of The Ring winner with right hands to the face rocking down the big man. Holly backs up into the ropes and clotheslines Mabel but the big man doesn't come off his feet. Holly hits another clothesline but again Mabel doesn't come off his feet! Holly again backs up into the ropes but this time he hits Mabel with a flying clothesline which takes the five hundred pounder off of his feet! Holly stomps down on Mabel as Mabel is down on the canvas! Holly drags Mabel up by his head and attempts to slam Mabel but he can't do it! Holly tries again but he can't do it! Holly goes for a third attempt but Mabel clubs Holly in the back! Mabel hits Holly with a stiff clothesline putting Bob Holly down to the canvas! Mabel covers! 1.....2..... Holly kicks out. Mabel drags Holly up and sends Holly for the ride. Holly comes bouncing off the ropes right into a body splash from Mabel putting Holly back down. Mabel bounces off the ropes and attempts a legdrop but Bob Holly moves out of the way and Mabel crashes into the canvas! Holly backs up into the corner and calls for something as Mabel gets up.... Holly comes running out of the corner charging at Mabel but Mabel ends up delivering a bossman slam to Holly! Mabel hooks the leg! 1...2... Holly gets the shoulder up! Mabel lifts Holly up and sends Holly for the ride. Holly ends up walking right into another bossman slam from Mabel! Mabel comes off the ropes with a huge legdrop to Holly! Mabel covers! 1...2.. no! Holly somehow kicked out! Mabel can't believe it! Mabel lifts Holly up and slams Holly down to the canvas. Mabel then points to the turnbuckle! Mabel slowly climbs up onto the second turnbuckle! Mabel goes for a Big Splash off the second turnbuckle but Bob Holly rolls out of the way and Mabel goes down! Referee Mike Sparks begins to count both men down! 1....2....3....4....5...6......7.....8...... no! Bob Holly slowly gets up to his feet as well as Mabel breaking the count! Mabel goes for a right hand but it's blocked by Holly! Holly nails Mabel with big right hands to the face! Holly rocks down Mabel with right hands before coming off the ropes with a huge flying clothesline putting down the King Of The Ring! Holly waits for Mabel to get up to his feet and connects with a high drop kick putting Mabel back down! Holly hooks the leg! 1...2... kick out by Mabel! Holly lifts Mabel back up and connects with a big bulldog! Holly covers! 1....2..... Mabel has his foot on the ropes! Holly waits for Mabel to get up, Once Mabel is up Holly charges at Mabel but Mabel catches Holly and drives him down to the canvas with a powerslam! Mabel follows up with the Big Splash to Holly! Mabel hooks the leg! 1,2,3! Mabel's music hits the arena to boos as Mabel's hand is raised high in the air by referee Mike Sparks. Mabel heads to the back as Mike Sparks checks on Bob Holly.

Winner by Pin Fall: Mabel

60, 69, 65 *

Booker Thoughts- Mabel and Bob Holly aren't too over with the fans and it showed here. The crowd wasn't interested in either one of these men. Bob Holly isn't so bad himself when it comes to talent but he's not the man to put in the ring with Mabel. Mabel on the other hand just plain sucks in the ring but it's rumored that he'll get a huge push this year again..... Maybe with a new gimmick or something Bob Holly will shine this year.

Vince McMahon- What a big victory for Mabel! Mabel picks up quite a big win tonight on the Free For All over Bob Holly who's one of the most accomplished WWF Superstars.

Jim Ross- Mabel picks up a huge win tonight Vince. Mabel is also last year's King Of The Ring award winner and in my view he should be next in line for a shot at the WWF Championship. He's a hoss Vince. A one hundred percent all American hoss.

Vince McMahon- Mabel continues his impressive ways in the World Wrestling Federation. He's picked up wins over the likes of Undertaker, Razor Ramon and tonight add Bob Holly to the list of huge WWF Superstars Mabel has beaten.

Jim Ross- Can anyone beat this mountain of a man? Only time will tell Vince.

Vince McMahon- Fans the Free For All is coming to an end but don't forget to join us up next for WWF In Your House "No Escape"! Can Bret Hart beat Sycho Sid in a Cage match for the WWF Championship? Who'll walk out victorious? Find out only on Pay Per View!

NO ESCAPE

Date: February 18th, 1996

Announcers: Jim Ross and Vince McMahon

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

In Your House "No Escape" opens up with a video package showing highlights from past cage matches in the World Wrestling Federation. It shows Bret Hart's brutal cage match with Owen Hart and some other cage match highlights. It then shows Sycho Sid since returning to the World Wrestling Federation. It shows Sycho Sid defeating Goldust last week with the Powerbomb and it shows Sid telling Bret Hart that he'd be the next World Wrestling Federation Champion. It shows the confrontation between Sid and Bret Hart two weeks ago on Monday Night Raw. The video comes to an end and we're taken inside The Louisville Gardens where pyros shoot off. The crowd seems ready for a big night of World Wrestling Federation action! We get shown the attendance number for tonight's show which is 16,416 on hand for In Your House "No Escape"! We get a shot of the crowd again before been taken over to a shot of the entrance stage and then a shot of the ring. We're then taken to the announce position where our announcers for In Your House "No Escape" are Vince McMahon and Jim Ross who are both wearing suits.

Vince McMahon- Welcome to WWF In Your House "No Escape"! We are live in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky from The Louisville Gardens! I'm Vince McMahon and alongside me is the one and the only Jim Ross! And Jim Ross what a huge night this is going to be! Bret "The Hitman" Hart defends the World Wrestling Federation Championship against Sycho Sid in a steel cage match! We have been sold out for weeks in anticipation for this huge match up!

Jim Ross- Vince what a huge match this one is going to be! Sycho Sid and Bret Hart in a steel cage match for the WWF Championship! Who will win this one? Will Sycho Sid become the World Wrestling Federation Champion right here tonight? This ain't gonna be no cage match like the competition gave you this is going to be two men fighting for the richest prize in the game and that is the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Tonight I think we'll see Sycho Sid walk out as the new World Wrestling Federation Champion.

Vince McMahon- It could happen because anything can happen in the NEW WWF Generation that's for sure and tonight fans we'll get to see a match that's all about revenge. The "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels takes on "The King Of Harts" Owen Hart. And Jim Ross both these men have been looking forward to this one since November when Owen Hart put Michaels on the shelf with that devastating enziguri kick to the back of the head. Michaels wants revenge and tonight is his chance. Michaels is already set to go to Wrestlemania XII and challenge Bret "The Hitman" Hart for the WWF Championship. All though Sycho Sid might be the one walking out as champion tonight.

Jim Ross- Vince I'm fearing for the safety of Shawn Michaels here tonight. We both know what Owen Hart is capable of. We all know that Owen Hart wants to knock Michaels out here tonight and out HBK back on the shelf. Owen Hart's a very sick man and he seems intent on putting Michaels out once and for all tonight. Shawn Michaels has to avoid the enziguri kick at all costs in my view.

Vince McMahon- Fans tonight we also got Sean Waltman taking on Razor Ramon with the winner going to Wrestlemania XII to face Goldust for the Intercontinental Championship. And this one is personal. It doesn't get anymore personal than this Jim Ross.

Jim Ross- It certainly does not Vince, Sean Waltman cost Razor Ramon the Intercontinental Championship and not only that but he turned on Razor last year. He's no longer the 1-2-3 Kid we all knew and loved. He's Ted DiBiase's hired gun and with the new attitude he could be beating Razor Ramon tonight. It could happen.

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take you to the ring for some great WWF six men tag team action!

Ahmed Johnson and Godwinns with Hillybilly Jim Vs. Al Snow, Crush and Steve Austin with Ted DiBiase

Johnson gets a huge ovation from the crowd here tonight as the announcers shill the fact that Ahmed Johnson has never been pinned and he has never submitted. The Corporation continue to get better heat each and every time they're out there..... Hillbilly Jim and Godwinns brought a goat out to the ring with them! But Ted DiBiase forced ringside security to take the goat to back saying that his team wouldn't be out there with a goat! Al Snow and Henry start things off here. Hillbilly Jim gets the crowd going by clapping to which Snow responds by telling the fans to shut their mouths. Snow and Henry lock up and the bigger Henry gets the best of Snow and throws Snow right down to the canvas! Al Snow gets up while Henry taunts him calling him a chicken. Snow gets angry and slaps Henry right across the face! Henry responds by nailing Snow with a right hand to the face! Henry nails Snow with a big right hand to the face and knocks Snow down! Henry drags Snow up by his hair and sends Snow into the turnbuckle head first! Henry starts ramming Snow's head onto the turnbuckle which makes the crowd count along! 1........2............3...........4.........5............6..........7........8..........9.......10!

Austin drags Phineous up and sends Phineous to the corner. Austin taunts both Johnson and Henry which results in both Henry and Johnson trying to get inside the ring but referee Teddy Long prevented them from doing so which allows Crush, Snow and Austin to triple team Phineous in the corner behind Long's back! When Long turned around all he saw was Austin nailing Phineous with chops to the chest because Snow and Crush quickly stopped beating down Phineous! Austin follows up by stomping away on Phineous! Austin stomps a mud hole on Phineous and walks it dry so to speak. Austin lifts Phineous up and suplexes the pig farmer. Austin tags the convict Crush in. Crush comes into the ring and takes Phineous down with a stiff clothesline as Phineous was getting up to his feet. Crush lifts Phineous up and easily slams Phineous down. Crush comes off the ropes and delivers a big legdrop to Phineous! Crush hooks the legs but Phineous kicks out before the three count. Crush chokes away Phineous to the approval of Ted DiBiase.

Phineous then connects with the Slop Drop and both men are down!

Winners by Pin Fall: Al Snow, Crush and Steve Austin

65, 69, 78 **1/4

Booker Thoughts- Good match thanks to Al Snow and Steve Austin. Crush and Ahmed Johnson's feud continue to develop here all though neither man scored the fall...... The Corporation picks up the obvious win to continue what will be a good push for them this year.

Vince McMahon- No! Come on referee! They weren't even the legal men in the match! The Corporation picks up a win here thanks to their cheating ways.

Jim Ross- That no good Ted DiBiase cost Henry the match in my view. He had Austin down if it wasn't for DiBiase's distractions and Al Snow. Ahmed Johnson got some of Crush though! I can't wait to see Crush and Johnson go at it Vince. Those are two big horses prime time players. I can't wait for that war.

Vince McMahon- Ahmed Johnson and Crush could go at it tomorrow night on Monday Night Raw. And what a match those two men should put out. Both men are two big strong physical men who like to fight. Fans up next it's a match for the WWF Tag Team Championship. Smoking Gunns put the gold on the line against the unlikely tag team of Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley! Helmsley and Mero have only been together as a team for a couple of weeks. And during those weeks Mero has done all the wrestling for the tag team!

Jim Ross- Helmsley has some hidden agenda here Vince, You know Helmsley and you know what kind of human being he is. He doesn't have the character to want to team up with someone. He's as disingenuous and self absorbed as anyone I have ever met. And all of a sudden he wants to be in a tag team?

Vince McMahon- Well people can change Jim Ross and maybe just maybe we've seen the change of one Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Hey it could happen because anything can happen in the NEW WWF Generation. The big question is can Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Marc Mero work together to beat the current tag team champions Billy and Bart Gunn the Smoking Gunns?

75, 84, 85 ***1\2

Marc Mero's turn was completed, and he is now a face. Marc Mero gained overness from this turn.

The WWF Tag Team titles have gained in image.

Booker Thoughts- A great tag team match put on by these four men. Smoking Gunns aren't usually too good but tonight they turned it up a notch. Helmsley and Mero's split worked well and hopefully a future match between Helmsley and Mero will elevate both men to the top of the card.

Vince McMahon- What about that? Marc Mero looks like he's had enough of Hunter Hearst Helmsley! He knocked Helmsley right on his behind!

Jim Ross- Mero gave that no good disingenuous blue blooded aristocrat what he deserved! Helmsley tried to be a tough guy talking down to Mero like he was trash and he got knocked right on his behind! Mero snapped McMahon!

Vince McMahon- Marc Mero had to do most of the work in the other matches with Helmsley just laying back. It looks like it won't happen anymore. I think it's save to say that this team is done! But the question is will Marc Mero go after Helmsley? To me it looks like Hunter Hearst Helmsley is a bit scared of Marc Mero.

Jim Ross- I think Helmsley is scared of Mero, Helmsley tried to be a tough guy tonight and talk down to Mero like he was trash but that ain't gonna work Helmsley.

Vince McMahon- Fans up next it's the match to decide the number one contender for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Sean Waltman of The Corporation takes on "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon. Fans this one is as personal as it gets. Sean Waltman turned on Razor last year and earlier this year he cost Razor the Intercontinental Championship. This one is going to be a war.

Jim Ross- Sean Waltman turned on Razor Ramon last year and joined The Corporation. Since then he had been avoiding Ramon until he cost Razor the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw a few weeks ago. Sean Waltman and Razor Ramon are no longer friends and this one is going to a fight.

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

::::::::::::::::::::::::A video is shown highlighting the feud between Sean Waltman and Razor Ramon. It shows how Waltman turned on Razor last year and how Waltman attacked Razor Ramon with a steel chair costing Razor the Intercontinental Championship. It shows how on Monday Night Raw last week Ted DiBiase and Sean Waltman set up Razor Ramon and Waltman once again stood tall over Ramon. Tonight who'll stand tall when the winner gets a first class ticket to Wrestlemania XII to face Goldust for the Intercontinental Championship?:::::::::::::::::::::::

Winner by Pin Fall: Razor Ramon

77, 87, 86 ***1\2

Booker Thoughts- What a great match by both men. Waltman and Razor put on a great match considering that their styles are different. Razor's a brawler who can mix it up with technical wrestling while Waltman's a high flier who can do some technical wrestling. These two put a great match and hopefully this match will get the fans behind Waltman more as a heel.

Vince McMahon- What a great match up we just saw! Razor Ramon picks up the big victory over Sean Waltman! I have never seen Razor's Edge performed from the top turnbuckle before! Sean Waltman isn't going to be able to move for days!

Jim Ross- What a hellacious maneuver by Razor Ramon. I have never even in my whole entire life seen Razor's Edge performed like that. Sean Waltman might not be able to wrestle ever again after that beating he took.

Vince McMahon- Well you gotta give Sean Waltman credit, He fought as hard as I have ever seen anyone fight. Waltman took it to Razor Ramon as much as Razor took it to Waltman.

Jim Ross- That is true Vince, Sean Waltman gave it one hell of a effort like only the WWF Superstars give it one hundred and ten percent out there. But tonight it was Razor Ramon's night. Great match. Razor Ramon now gets his rematch for the title against Goldust at Wrestlemania XII.

Vince McMahon- Wait a minute fans, We understand that Todd Pettengill is standing by backstage with Jeff Jarrett! Jarrett has demanded this interview time! Lets take you to the back!

It's time for Double J's era to begin!

We're taken to the interview area backstage where we see Todd Pettengill standing by with Jeff Jarrett who does not look too pleased.

Todd Pettengill- Jeff Jarrett you have requested this interview time what's on your mind?

Jeff Jarrett- What's on my mind? I'll tell you and every other moron in this arena what the hell is on my mind! The WWF seems to think that I'm just going to sit around and let them screw me over!

Todd Pettengill- What do you mean Jeff?

Jeff Jarrett- What do I mean? Ever since my return to the World Wrestling Federation that no good moron Gorilla Monsoon has been going after me! First he doesn't allow me to enter the Royal Rumble and puts me in there against a man who can't even speak the English language! I have worked all my life to come to the WWF and I've always been screwed. Well I'm not going to sit back here and let them screw me around! I'm telling everyone right now that I'm going to be going out there later tonight and someone will pay! Everyone knows that I'm the best wrestler in the whole damn company. I'm better than Bret Hart, I'm better than Shawn Michaels. I'm better than Undertaker. I should be the WWF Champion right now! Someone is going to pay tonight! It's my time now! I will make my mark on the World Wrestling Federation one way or another!

Todd Pettengill- Thanks for the comments Jeff Jarrett. Vince and JR back to you guys!

82

Booker Thoughts- A good interview by Double J here. Jarrett showed some good intensity and it'll be interesting to see what Jarrett's character will be like with this new found intensity and anger.

Vince McMahon- Jeff Jarrett does not appear to be in a good mood here. But you have to wonder what he means when he says someone is going to pay?

Jim Ross- I don't know Vince but Jeff Jarrett better not try to come out and wreck the show later on.

Vince McMahon- Maybe Jeff Jarrett won't come out here, He could wait until tomorrow night on Monday Night Raw. Jarrett feels that he has been screwed by the WWF and I have no idea why he would think that. Fans coming up next it's a big tag team match up. Jake Roberts teams up with Yokozuna to face British Bulldog and Vader! What a great tag team match this one should be.

Winners by Pin Fall: British Buldog and Vader

70, 80, 75 **1/4

Booker Thoughts- I thought this one would bomb but it was actually decent. It was kept short because none of these guys can really go any longer except British Bulldog. The crowd did get into the Vader/Yokozuna slug fest so some good came out of it.

Vince McMahon- No! Come on! Yokozuna had Vader beat if it wasn't for Bulldog using the ring bell to Yokozuna! James E. Cornette must be happy with this outcome!

Jim Ross- Yokozuna had Vader beat in my view. I don't think Vader can take on Yokozuna one on one. We all saw that Yokozuna had Vader beat if it wasn't for Cornette's distraction allowing Bulldog to use the ring bell on Yokozuna.

Vince McMahon- I can't wait to see Vader and Yokozuna go at it one on one. Without James E. Cornette's shenanigans. I think Yokozuna would destroy Vader. I can't two see those two monsters go at it.

Jim Ross- I think Yokozuna would also beat Vader in a straight up fight Vince. Yokozuna is a former two time WWF Champion and a former two time WWF Tag Team Champion. He has the advantage in my opinion.

Vince McMahon- Fans up next it's a match for revenge. This one is the match that everyone has come to see. It'll be Owen Hart facing the 1996 Royal Rumble winner the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels. In November Owen Hart knocked Shawn Michaels out with a kick to the back of the head putting Michaels out of action. Michaels won the Royal Rumble and Owen Hart has laid out the challenge. Who'll win this one?

Jim Ross- Vince this one is as personal as it gets. Owen Hart says he wants to put Michaels back on the shelf and that's sick. Shawn Michaels better be careful tonight and watch out for the enziguri kick because you know Owen Hart's looking to knock Shawn Michaels out of action one more time.

Vince McMahon- You have got to be wondering what'll happen if Owen Hart scores with the enziguri kick. Will Michaels be put out of action again? Who'll win this match?

Jim Ross- Michaels is at a huge disadvantage, Owen Hart is as vicious as they come and you know he'd love to put Shawn Michaels out of action and out of the Wrestlemania XII main event. If Owen Hart is able to put Shawn Michaels out of action then will Owen Hart be the one going to Wrestlemania XII to challenge for the WWF Championship?

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

:::::::::::::::::::: A video is shown hyping the Owen Hart versus Shawn Michaels match up. It shows how Owen Hart put Shawn Michaels out of action back in November with a enziguri kick to the back of Michaels' head. It shows footage of Michaels' come back at the Royal Rumble with Shawn Michaels winning the Royal Rumble match up. It shows Owen Hart's challenge to Michaels and how Owen Hart said that he'll put Michaels out once and for all. This one isn't for a title but it's personal. Can Owen Hart put Shawn Michaels out? If Michaels is put out of action what'll become of the "Heart Break Kid" then?::::::::::::::::::::::

Winner by Pin Fall: Shawn Michaels

79, 85, 92 ****

Booker Thoughts- A great match up here. Match of the year candidate for sure along with Bret Hart/Undertaker from the Royal Rumble this year. The only thing bad here was that the crowd wasn't as hot as it was expected to be. A big win for Shawn Michaels leading to Wrestlemania XII though. Owen Hart continues to impress management and I wouldn't be surprised to see another Hart/Michaels showdown this year.

Vince McMahon- What a match! Shawn Michaels wins this match up. And what a victory for Shawn Michaels. Michaels now has momentum leading into Wrestlemania XII when he'll meet the World Wrestling Federation Champion for the title.

Jim Ross- Shawn Michaels picked up a much needed win but I have never seen anyone give Michaels a fight like Owen Hart did tonight. Owen Hart nailed Michaels in the back of the head with the enziguri kick and I honestly thought that was the end. But Shawn Michaels came back and got the win. Hell of a match. You won't see this kind of action except in the World Wrestling Federation.

Vince McMahon- You certainly won't see athletes like Owen Hart and Shawn Michaels anywhere except in the new WWF Generation. They're two of the best athletes in all of the world today.

Jim Ross- Now who will Shawn Michaels meet at Wrestlemania XII? Bret Hart or Sycho Sid? Who'll come out of the cage match as the World Wrestling Federation Champion?

Vince McMahon- Fans lets take you to the ring where we understand we'll be hearing from "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel!

Diesel and Undertaker go at it!

"Diesel Blues" hits the arena to a mixed ovation from the crowd as Diesel makes his way down to the ring in street clothing. Diesel steps over the top rope and gets inside the ring. Diesel raises his arm high in the air as pyros goes off from the turnbuckles....... Diesel is handed a microphone as the crowd chants "Diesel".

Diesel- Now I'm sure all of you people would like to have "Big Daddy Cool" out here wrestling instead of talking. But that moron Gorilla Monsoon said the "genetic wonder" couldn't grace all you fans with my skills tonight because apparently Diesel is too much of a bad ass. See I should be the one locked in a steel cage with Bret Hart fighting for the title. Not Sid "scissor hands". Gorilla Monsoon knows that I could whip Bret Hart's ass all over this arena! Bret Hart knows that I'm a better athlete than he could ever dream of being! Bret Hart I owned the WWF Championship for almost one year. I carried this company on my back pal! And you're not man enough to face me for the title? And then Gorilla Monsoon says that due to my bad behavior I have to sit out the Pay Per View. Well that ain't happening. See there's a man back there named Undertaker and well he thinks he can come out here and scare me just because I "screwed" him out of the title. Well Undertaker let me tell you something pal. Diesel ain't scared of no one! I'm just as big and bad as you are. Undertaker you might have everyone scared but not me. Undertaker I achieved in one year more than you achieved in your whole career! Undertaker you didn't deserve the shot at Bret Hart and you know it. I had to do what I had to do big man. Undertaker I know you're back there and the fans want to see the big "confrontation" between us. So if you're man enough come down here and face me. Proof to everyone that you're not scared of me..... Come on Taker! Lets see how big and bad you truly are.

Diesel stands in the ring as the crowd chants for Undertaker..... The lights go off to a huge ovation as Undertaker's music hits the arena. Undertaker walks down to the ring looking ready for a fight as Diesel stands in the ring..... The lights come back on and both men are in the ring! Diesel makes the first move and attacks Undertaker! Diesel hammers Undertaker with right hands but it has no affect on Undertaker! Undertaker responds by nailing Diesel in the ribs with right hands! Undertaker kicks Diesel in the gut and follows up with a uppercut! Undertaker grabs Diesel by the arm and tries a irish whip but Diesel counters and hits a short arm clothesline to Undertaker! Diesel sends Undertaker to the corner and comes charging at Undertaker with a running clothesline! Diesel follows up by hammering Undertaker in the ribs with knee shots! Diesel then nails Undertaker in the face with back elbow shots! Diesel chokes Undertaker down with his big boot! Diesel sends Undertaker to the opposite corner and comes charging at Undertaker with a avalanche! Diesel follows up with a big sidewalk slam to Undertaker! Diesel rolls to the outside and grabs a steel chair as Undertaker is down in the ring. Diesel comes back into the ring with the steel chair. Undertaker gets up and Diesel goes to hit him with the chair but Undertaker kicks Diesel in the face sending the chair right into Diesel's face! Undertaker grabs the chair off of Diesel and nails Diesel in the ribs with it! Undertaker follows up by nailing Diesel in the back with the steel chair! Undertaker drops the chair down and calls for the Tombstone as Diesel pulls himself up! Undertaker grabs Diesel and goes for the Tombstone but Diesel low blows Undertaker! Diesel then boots Undertaker right in the face! Diesel grabs the steel chair! Undertaker is up and Diesel drills him right over the head with the chair! Undertaker's out of it! Diesel raises the chair high in the air to a mixed reaction from the crowd! Wait! Undertaker sits up! Diesel nails Undertaker again with a chair shot right to the head this time Undertaker's down and out! "Diesel Blues" hits the arena as Diesel stands over Undertaker....... Diesel drops the chair down on Undertaker and heads to the back........ After a few seconds Undertaker gets up not looking happy! Undertaker grabs the chair and heads to the back with it!

96

Undertaker gained overness from this segment.

Booker Thoughts- Great segment here. The crowd was very into it. This should help hype the Diesel/Undertaker feud even more.

Vince McMahon- Undertaker does not seem happy! I'm not too sure Diesel knows what has just happened. Undertaker is heading to the back with that steel chair and when he finds Diesel there'll be hell to pay.

Jim Ross- Diesel nailed Undertaker twice over the head with that steel chair and Undertaker sat right back up. But Diesel didn't show any fear tonight. I can't wait to see those two horses go at it. What a dream match that one is going to be Vince.

Vince McMahon- Diesel and Undertaker are two strong power houses and what a gigantic battle that one is going to be. A big physical battle between two big strong monsters.

Jim Ross- I can't wait to see that match. Many fans have dreamed about seeing Diesel and Undertaker go at it and we might get to see it very, very soon.

Vince McMahon- Fans up next it's the main event for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Bret "The Hitman" Hart defends the title against Sycho Sid in a Cage Match. Who'll walk out as the champion? Who will go on to Wrestlemania XII and defend the title against the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels?

Jim Ross- I think it'll be Sid, He's just too big and strong for Bret Hart. I think if Sid hits the Powerbomb tonight then Bret Hart's title reign will be over.

Vince McMahon- I think it could happen, But then again Bret Hart is undefeated in cage matches. His record in cage matches are good but perhaps Sycho Sid is just too big and strong for him.... Fans lets take a look at how this one came about!

:::::::::::::::: The same opening video from the beginning of the Pay Per View is shown. Tonight the big question who'll be the champion after the cage match is over? Who will go to Wrestlemania XII and face the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels?:::::::::::::::::

[Guest meripu1]

Excellent event Hewey. I enjoyed all of the matches, especially the major ones and i liked the Taker-Diesel confrontation to build up to WrestleMania.

I got all of my predictions correct except for HBK-Owen. I picked Owen because i thought it was too obvious for a HBK win and though maybe Bret would have turned or something, but there you go.

Keep up the good work.

WWF In Your House "No Escape" arena notes........

The arena was about 90% sold out here. We started off with Vince McMahon and Jim Ross coming down to ringside and taking their seats at the announce position. Todd Pettengill then came down to the ring and asked the crowd a couple of questions including who'd we want to see walk out as the champion. Bret Hart ended up getting a bigger pop than Sid. Afterwards Todd left as we got ready for the Free For All.

Mabel took on Bob Holly in a pretty decent match, Mabel is a very large man in person and I don't mean tall..... Holly looked decent out there but maybe with a new gimmick and some better opponents Bob Holly will shine in the ring. Mabel picks up the win with the powerslam followed up by the Big Splash. The crowd was pretty dead for this one except some pops when Holly was fighting back.

The Pay Per View opened up with a great video package and loud pyros. The first match of the evening was the six men tag match. It was pretty good whenever Al Snow and Steve Austin were in there. Those two are going to be something big in the future in my opinion. Godwinns need to be sent to USWA and take Hillbilly Jim with them. The ending was pretty good even though most people thought Crush or Ahmed Johnson would get a pin fall.

The WWF Tag Team Championship match was good. Helmsley and Mero seemed to work well together and everyone thought they would walk out as the champions. Smoking Gunns looked good out there for the second PPV in a row. The ending was a shocker with Smoking Gunns retaining the titles. Afterwards Helmsley got pissed and slapped Mero across the face which resulted in a big ass kicking from Mero to Helmsley. Mero/Helmsley could be a good feud.

Razor Ramon and Sean Waltman put on a great match. The crowd was all over Waltman here while Razor Ramon got a huge ovation from the crowd. Waltman looked great out there and he's making a great heel. Many of us thought Goldust would interfere during the match but it didn't happen. Still many thought that Waltman was going to win but in the end Razor won with a huge top turnbuckle Razor's Edge. No one will take risks like Sean Waltman. Razor/Goldust at Wrestlemania XII for the Intercontinental Championship looksa good to me.

Jeff Jarrett's interview was pretty good though no one cared. Looks like Jeff Jarrett will be getting a new attitude?

The tag match was decent. It was fun seeing Vader and Yokozuna pound the living hell out of each other. Jake was all right in there but Bulldog's the best out of the bunch. Vader picked up the cheap win over Yokozuna and now I'm looking forward to seeing them fight it out.

Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart put on a great match as well, The crowd was all over Owen Hart during his entrance. Michaels received the biggest ovation of the night thus far. Match was pretty good and I hope the WWF plans on pushing Owen because in my opinion he's one of the top five wrestlers in the company. Michaels wins this match cleanly which should put him in the right place come Wrestlemania XII when he challenges the WWF Champion.

The Diesel/Undertaker segment was pretty good and the crowd was into it the most out of anything on the Pay Per View.

The cage match was all right but nothing we haven't seen before. The crowd was 50/50 here booing Hart whenever he worked over Sid's leg. Sid did get booed a couple times too but nothing too loud. Bret Hart carried Sid pretty well here though most fans were expecting more. Bret Hart won thanks to interference from Jeff Jarrett who smasked the guitar over Sid's head as escape was going to make his way out through the door. Sid/Jarrett could work out nicely. Afterwards Sid stayed in the cage as Hart headed to the back. Jeff Jarrett came into the ring and taunted Sid and posed over Sid. Jarrett though ended up getting a Choke Slam and Powerbomb from Sid when Sid got up to his feet. Sid posed for a bit before heading to the back.

We were then thanked for coming. A good Pay Per View from the WWF tonight.

Announcers: Jim Ross and Vince McMahon

Monday Night Raw opens up with it's regular video package and then we're taken inside the arena where pyro shoots off. We're taken to the announce position where Jim Ross and Vince McMahon are standing by. They hype up tonight's main event of Shawn Michaels taking on Sean Waltman! The countdown to Wrestlemania XII is on!

Razor Ramon Vs. Isaac Yankem DDS

A good way to open up tonight's show. Yankem looked determined out there and controlled most of the match up. Vince and JR kept hyping the rematch at Wrestlemania XII between Goldust and Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Championship. Razor fought back later in the match but Goldust came down to the ringside area and distracted Ramon which allowed Yankem to nail "The Bad Guy" from behind! Yankem continued to beat down Razor and at times Yankem would distract the referee which allowed Goldust to get some cheap shots in on the challenger for his title. Yankem set Razor up for the DDS but Razor got out of it and made the come back hitting Yankem with right hands and following up with his signature maneuvers. Razor connected with the fallaway slam to Yankem and called for the Razor's Edge. Razor lifted Yankem up and then dropped him down with Razor's Edge! Razor covered but before the referee could count to three Goldust pulled him out of the ring! The referee then called for the bell awarding the match to Razor Ramon by disqualification! Razor didn't look too happy as Goldust headed to the back taunting "The Bad Guy".

82, 81, 84 ***3/4

Vince and JR couldn't understand why Goldust didn't let Razor just pin Yankem. Vince and JR didn't know why Goldust would attack Razor through out the match and then just got Yankem disqualified. JR said it could be mind games that Goldust is playing with Razor Ramon. Monday Night Raw went to it's first commercial break with Vince and JR hyping a special interview with "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase coming up next!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Ted DiBiase wants Ahmed Johnson!

The music of The Corporation hits the arena to boos as Ted DiBiase comes out with a evil grin on his face. DiBiase gets inside the ring and is handed a microphone to boos from the crowd.

Ted DiBiase- Last night was a big night for The Corporation. First off we won the big six men tag match and later on we all saw Sean Waltman destroy Razor Ramon. Razor you got lucky last night and everyone knows it. But tonight we're all going to see Sean Waltman destroy Shawn Michaels and I'll be at ringside for it. Now then there's another thing I want to talk about and that is Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed Johnson I have to admit that last night you impressed me. You looked great out there and after much talking with The Corporation we decided to offer you a spot in the group! Ahmed Johnson before you come storming out here just think about it. Look at The Corporation. We got Sean Waltman, Al Snow, Steve Austin, Crush, Kama, Chris Chavis and myself. Ahmed Johnson you're undefeated and you're going to be something big in this company. You just need someone to back you up. And I'm the man to do it. I'll take you straight to the top of the WWF! So Ahmed Johnson come on down here and give me an answer. Think about it! You'll be the World Wrestling Federation Champion with me by your side!

The crowd boos as Ted DiBiase stands in the ring grinning. "Pearl River Plunge" hits the arena to a great ovation from the crowd and out comes Ahmed Johnson to the ring in street clothing. Johnson gets inside the ring and stares down Ted DiBiase.

Ted DiBiase- Ahmed Johnson ignore these ignorant fans who are booing "The Million Dollar Man". They just don't know any better. Ahmed Johnson I see something in you that no one else in the WWF sees. And that is a potential break out star. Ahmed Johnson you're going to be huge. But it'll take sometime for that to happen... Well unless you join The Corporation.

Ahmed Johnson is handed a microphone to cheers from the crowd. Ted DiBiase looks on at Johnson who gets ready to talk.

Ahmed Johnson- Ted DiBiase you come out here and talk about me joining The Corporation. Well if I was to join your little group what would you do about Crush? Cause that man has been going after me and if he gets in my face one more time I'm gonna kick his jail bird ass!

Ted DiBiase- You have to understand that Crush was in jail. You know how he is. He's a little hot headed. But I can calm him down. Ahmed Johnson this is the opportunity of a lifetime. You have a chance to become something! You will become one of the best WWF Superstars! All you have to do is turn on the people! I mean look at all these fans! They're nothing! You'll be so much more with Ted DiBiase by your side!

Ahmed Johnson- You want Ahmed Johnson to turn on the people?

Ted DiBiase- Yes! Come on Ahmed Johnson! What has the people ever done for you?

Ahmed Johnson- What has the people done for me? They've made me into who I am. I'm the peoples champion Ted DiBiase. And the people is what I fight for!

Ted DiBiase- Ahmed Johnson forget these morons. What are they going to do for you? They're not going to make you into a star I am! You have to realize that!

Ahmed Johnson- Ted DiBiase don't ever diss the people! The people is what I fight for! And I won't betray them! My answer is hell no!

Ted DiBiase- You just made the biggest mistake of your life!

Ted DiBiase slaps the taste right out of Ahmed Johnson's mouth! Ahmed Johnson though responds by nailing DiBiase with a right hand! Johnson positions Ted DiBiase up for the Pearl River Plunge as the fans go wild! But wait! Crush comes running down from the back with a steel chair! Crush comes into the ring but Ahmed Johnson sees the dangerous convict and knocks Crush down! Johnson takes the chair off of Crush's hand and prepares to nail Crush with it! But Ted DiBiase sneaks a low blow in on Ahmed Johnson! Johnson drops the chair down and Crush delivers the HEART PUNCH to Ahmed Johnson! Ted DiBiase tells Crush to finish him off! Crush grabs the steel chair as Ted DiBiase lifts Johnson up..... Crush drills Ahmed Johnson right over the head with the steel chair! Crush drags Johnson back up and Ted DiBiase tells him to hurt Johnson! Crush positions Ahmed Johnson and delivers a piledriver right on top of the steel chair! The crowd boos as Crush and Ted DiBiase stand over Ahmed Johnson. Referees and Road Agents come running down from the back. They check on Ahmed Johnson as Crush and Ted DiBiase head to the back.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Jim Neidhart Vs. Jeff Jarrett

Jim Neidhart is making his return to the World Wrestling Federation here. Last time we saw Neidhart was early last year when he was teaming with his brother in law Owen Hart. The crowd cheered for Neidhart here as he took on Jeff Jarrett who screwed Sycho Sid out of the WWF Championship last night. Jarrett started off by strutting in the ring but Neidhart responded by beating the hell out of Jarrett. Neidhart beat Jarrett down in the corner and used his strength over the second generation star. Jarrett though had a few dirty tricks up his sleeve to counteract Neidhart. Jarrett worked over Neidhart's leg through out the match. Neidhart ended up fighting back. Neidhart went for a clothesline but Jarrett ducked it and Neidhart took out the referee by accident! Jarrett used a low blow on Neidhart and went to the outside and grabbed a steel chair! Jarrett came back into the ring and waited for Neidhart to get up, Before Jarrett could use the chair Sycho Sid came running down from the back. Jarrett swung the chair at Sid but Sid kicked the chair right into Jarrett's face! Sid then headed to the back as Neidhart crawled over Jarrett and covered! The referee came to and counted the 1,2,3 awarding the win to the returning Neidhart! Afterwards Neidhart headed to the back as Sycho Sid came back into the ring! Sycho Sid grabbed the steel chair but Jarrett quickly fled the ring! Jarrett headed out through the crowd and Sid followed him with the chair in hand! Monday Night Raw went to a commercial break with Sid chasing Jarrett through the crowd.

Dudes With Attitude strike!

Shawn Michaels' music hits the arena when Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break to a huge ovation from the crowd. Shawn Michaels makes his way down to the ring slapping hands with the fans at ringside. Michaels gets inside the ring and does his traditional pose while pyro shoots off behind the "Heart Break Kid". Michaels is then handed a microphone as the crowd chants "HBK".

Shawn Michaels- Last night the whole world saw HBK do exactly what he promised to do and that is knock Owen Hart's teeth right down his throat with Sweet Chin Music! Owen Hart you gave HBK a tough fight the toughest fight I've ever had. But in the end I won. I am now set to go on to Wrestlemania XII and challenge "The Hitman" for the WWF Championship. And at Wrestlemania XII the boyhood dream will come true for "The Kliq". But before HBK gets ahead of himself tonight I

m taking on a man who I've been in the ring before and let tell you. He's a real tough guy one of the best the WWF has to offer. Sean Waltman. Waltman you've changed since I've been in the ring with you but I know you're still one of the toughest guys in the back. And tonight you might have Ted DiBiase with you but I will beat you. HBK's on a roll and ain't nobody gonna stop HBK this year. I said it before and I'll say it again. 1996 will be my year. And now I'm sure everyone wants to know my thoughts about my opponent for Wrestlemania XII the one and the only Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Bret let tell you......

Shawn Michaels' is interrupted by the theme of Owen Hart too boos from the fans. Owen Hart and British Bulldog make their way down to the ring as Shawn Michaels looks on ready for a fight. Bulldog and Owen Hart are both handed microphones as Shawn Michaels looks on.

Owen Hart- Shawn Michaels you got alot of nerve coming out here and talking about my good name. Last night you pinned me one, two, three. So what? You beat me one time! Big deal! You won one match Shawn Michaels! I gave you the fight of your life! I had you beat plenty of times and everyone knows it. I almost put you back on the shelf when I drilled you with the enziguri kick. Shawn Michaels I should be going to Wrestlemania XII and not you! I am the real "Hitman" of the Hart Family and everyone of these people know it! Shawn Michaels there will be a rematch between us someday and when that match goes down I will put you back on the shelf again! But I'm not interested in fighting you tonight. See tonight me and my brother in law have a big title match and after we win the titles we want you in the ring!

British Bulldog- Shawn Michaels last night you might have beaten Owen Hart but show what a kind of a man you truly are. Step into the ring with the both of us! Lets see if you can beat the best tag team in the World Wrestling Federation. Shawn Michaels you think you can take on both of us at the same time?

Shawn Michaels- I guess since Owen couldn't get the job done himself he has to bring out his brother in law and maybe just maybe you two can take me down? Owen Hart there's a reason why you didn't beat me last night. Bulldog there's a reason why you've never been able to beat me too...... See the fact of the matter is Shawn Michaels is better than the both of you! Hell if you two want a handicap match bring it on! Because HBK and the Kliq will run right over you two boys!

Owen Hart doesn't too happy and jumps Michaels! Bulldog joins Owen Hart and both men take the "Heart Break Kid" down! Owen Hart and British Bulldog stomp down Shawn Michaels! The crowd boos as Hart and Bulldog do a number on HBK.... But wait! Diesel comes running down from the back with a steel chair in hand! Diesel comes into the ring and Bulldog and Owen Hart quickly leave! Diesel stares down Bulldog and Hart holding the chair...... Michaels gets up as the fans cheer. Owen Hart and British Bulldog head to the back with Diesel and Shawn Michaels standing in the ring.

Shawn Michaels- Hey you two want a match? How about next week? You two girls against the Dudes With Attitude?

Diesel's music hits the arena Diesel questions Michaels about making the challenge for next week but Michaels says it's cool. Diesel and Michaels pose as Monday Night Raw goes to a commercial break.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley explains his actions

Hunter Hearst Helmsley's music hits the arena to boos from the crowd as Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break. Hunter Hearst Helmsley heads to the ring looking at the crowd with disgust. Helmsley gets inside the ring and does his traditional pose. Helmsley is handed a microphone as the crowd boos the arrogant blue blood snob.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Last night everyone of you people saw what happened. I had the tag team titles won if that moron Marc Mero didn't screw. And afterwards I try to teach him a lesson and he responds by beating me up? Marc Mero if you had stuck with me you would have been something. You would have been more than everyone of these people. Marc Mero you want to know why I asked you to be my tag tam partner? I'll give you the answer. See in the WWF there's three titles. The WWF Championship, Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championship. Mero I want all three of those titles. I want to be a triple crown winner here in the WWF. And Marc Mero I can't become tag team champion by myself. Why did I pick you? Well I saw your win over Bulldog and that's why I picked you. I only picked you because you looked impressive out there and you'd make a decent partner. But last night you showed to the whole world who bad you truly are. I carried you Mero and what do you do? You blow the match! You blow my chance to become tag team champion! Now I'll have to wait to get my shot at the belts. Marc Mero you ruined my chance. Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart the top guys have all been triple crown winners. And I was going to do it last night if it wasn't for you screwing up! Marc Mero my name was going to go in the record book last night. This year was going to start off hot for me but you screwed it up. Now Mero you can either walk away or you can end up fighting me and getting your butt kicked. And you wouldn't want to fight me trust Mero. Mero you're not in my league and pal you can't even hold my jock! Marc Mero I suggest you walk away and not try to fight me. Because Marc Mero if you get in my face I will destroy you! Hunter Hearst Helmsley will go over you if you try to fight me. Marc Mero you're nothing but trash! I was going to make you into something but you screwed it up! I am...........

Before Hunter Hearst Helmsley can finish he is interrupted by "Wild Thing" to cheers from the crowd. Marc Mero stands on the entrance way wearing street clothing staring down Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Mero you better stay there. Don't even try to come out to this ring. If you try to come down to this ring the result will be alot different than what happened last night. You won't get the upper hand pal. I will beat you all over this arena.

Marc Mero starts walking down to the ring as the fans cheer. Hunter Hearst Helmsley doesn't seem too worried as Mero gets inside the ring.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Hey you better not try anything.............

Before Helmsley could finish his sentence Mero jumps him and tackles him down to the canvas! Mero nails Helmsley with right hands as the crowd cheers. Helmsley though rolls over on top of Mero and nails Mero with right hands. Mero ends up rolling back over on top of Helmsley and nailing Helmsley with more right hands. Road agents and referees come running down from the back. They pull Hunter Hearst Helmsley out to the floor while some try to restrain Marc Mero..... Mero though connects with a big plancha to Hunter Hearst Helmsley and some officials out on the floor! The officials now try to restrain Mero as Helmsley flees through the crowd! Mero shoves down the officials and chases Helmsley out through the crowd.... The cameras cut to the back where we see Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the parking area. Helmsley gets inside a car and starts it up as Mero is right behind him! Helmsley leaves the parking area in his car as Mero looks on. Mero shouts out that he's not done with Helmsley yet as Monday Night Raw takes a commercial break.

Undertaker strikes on "Big Daddy Cool"!

Right after Yokozuna's match we were taken to the interview area backstage where Dok Hendrix is shown standing by with "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel.

Dok Hendrix- Diesel earlier tonight you came down to the ring to save your friend the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels from a attack at the hands of Owen Hart and British Bulldog. Michaels laid down the challenge for Owen and Bulldog for next week but Diesel you did not seem too happy about HBK's challenge.... Your thoughts?

Diesel- I didn't seem too happy? Well you know Shawn is Shawn. Shawn's always been the kind of person to lay down a challenge regardless of what his partner thinks. I wasn't really looking forward to putting on the tights next week but if Shawn Michaels needs anything from me then he can count on "Big Daddy Cool".

Dok Hendrix- There's been some talk of you and Shawn Michaels having some tension due to what happened at the Royal Rumble. Shawn Michaels did eliminate you to win the Royal Rumble. The bottom line is he's going to Wrestlemania XII and you're not.

Diesel- There's no tension between us. Shawn Michaels did what he had to do to win the Royal Rumble. I'm not angry at him for doing what he had to do. He did what he had to do to win the Royal Rumble. Hell I would have done the same thing. People like to talk and talk about our problems but there's no problems. I just wish Shawn Michaels would have asked me if I felt like going next week or not. But like I said if Shawn Michaels ever needs anything from me he's got it. It's that simple Dok Hendrix. There's no bitterness. I'm sure when HBK becomes the champion he'll give me the first shot.

Dok Hendrix- Diesel last night you and Undertaker went at it in a violent confrontation and the end result was you nailing him twice with chairs shots right over the head. But Undertaker sat right up! Diesel fans have been wanting to see you and Undertaker go at it for years. Will there be a match?

Diesel- Hey if Undertaker wants to settle the score in the ring that's fine with me. But can he beat me? Hell no. Undertaker you might have survived a couple chair shots but lets see what happens when I drill you with the Jackknife deadman. Lets see you sit up from that.

Dok Hendrix- Many people think that you won't be able to put Undertaker out. What are your thoughts on their comments?

Diesel- Well Dok Hendrix most people are morons. You know first they talk about the tension with me and HBK and now they want to trash the good name of "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel? Come on..... Undertaker you're a tough guy I know that. But you're not tougher than me. I'm bigger and badder than you are. When we do go at it only one man is going to come out on top and that will be me. I promise you Undertaker that when it's all said and done I will be standing right over you. And then I'm going right back after the World Wrestling Federation Championship.

Dok Hendrix- Diesel if the WWF Champion is Shawn Michaels when you get your shot will you go after him? I mean what's going to happen?

Diesel- It doesn't matter to me. Shawn Michaels knows it's all about the title. He's getting his shot now. Whether it's HBK or Bret Hart it doesn't matter. I will be the champion. I've held that belt for almost one year and I liked it. It's time for the belt to go back around my waist.

Dok Hendrix- Diesel thank you for the interview.......

Diesel- No problem.....

Diesel prepares to leave when a delivery man comes up to him with a package.

Diesel- What's this?

Delivery Man- It was addressed for you sir. Sign here......

Diesel signs the papers and the delivery man hands him the package. The delivery man leaves as Diesel and Dok Hendrix look at the mysterious package. Diesel opens up the package and inside it is a urn! There's a card attached to it and Diesel reads it....... Diesel opens up the urn and sees what's inside of it. Ashes! Diesel seems a bit shaken up as he tosses the urn aside.

Diesel- I gotta go........

Diesel heads off as Dok Hendrix looks on! We get a close up of the note and it says your ashes will be in this urn soon enough. Rest in peace! Monday Night Raw goes to a commercial break.

World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship

Owen Hart and British Bulldog with James E. Cornette Vs. Smoking Gunns©

Cornette accompanied Owen Hart and British Bulldog to ring for the first time in weeks. Cornette as of late has been busy with Vader. Smoking Gunns started off hot with the champions dominating Owen Hart and British Bulldog. But Owen Hart soon turned the tide for his team after some dirty tactics. Owen Hart and Bulldog isolated Bart Gunn and double teamed the tough cowboy. Owen Hart and Bulldog took turns beating down Bart Gunn while Billy Gunn rallied the crowd trying to get them to cheer for Bart. It worked as Bart was able to take both Owen and Bulldog down with a pair of clotheslines and tag in Billy Gunn. Billy came into the ring like a man on fire taking down both Bulldog and Owen Hart. Smoking Gunns hit a couple double team moves on both Hart and Bulldog but they couldn't get the win just yet. Bulldog ended up fighting Bart out on the floor leaving Billy Gunn alone with Owen Hart. Owen went for the enziguri kick but Billy blocked it and connected with the Rocker Dropper to Owen. Billy covered but Cornette got up on the apron distracting the referee..... This allowed Bulldog to come into the ring and nail Billy in the back of the head with one of the titles! Bulldog rolled Owen on top of Billy as Cornette got off the apron! Referee Tim White counted the 1,2,3 and we've got new champions! Afterwards Cornette, Owen and Bulldog headed to the back with the gold as Bart Gunn checked on Billy Gunn.

Interview with Bret Hart

Right after the match we're taken to the back where Dok Hendrix is standing by with the World Wrestling Federation Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

Dok Hendrix- Bret Hart tonight has been a explosive night to say the very least. But last night it was you and Sycho Sid in a steel cage match. When it was all said and over it was you walking out as the World Wrestling Federation Champion thanks to a little unwanted help from Jeff Jarrett. I know you're banged up from last night but what are your thoughts on the match with Sycho Sid?

Bret Hart- Sycho Sid gave me everything he had. Everyone feels that if it wasn't for Jeff Jarrett then Sid would be the champion right now. I don't agree with that. Sid you did beat me up but I gave it to you as much as you gave me. Jeff Jarrett did get involved but who's to say you would have beaten me? Sid you're a worthy opponent and anytime you want a rematch for the title all you got to do is ask.

Dok Hendrix- Bret Hart in two weeks time you and Shawn Michaels will go face to face in the big contract signing for Wrestlemania XII. What are your thoughts on the big contract signing between you and the "Heart Break Kid"?

Bret Hart- I'm looking forward to it. I'm waiting for two weeks from tonight. I'll be there and sign the contract. Wrestlemania XII everyone is going to see the top two wrestlers in all the World Wrestling Federation go at it. And two weeks from tonight the contract will be signed.

Dok Hendrix- Bret Hart your thoughts on Wrestlemania XII?

Bret Hart- I'm looking forward to it alot. I've been going up against giants like Sycho Sid, Undertaker and Diesel as of late but I'm looking forward to wrestling someone my size. One way or another at Wrestlemania XII people will find out why I'm the best there is, The best there was and the best that there ever will be.

Dok Hendrix- Fans two weeks from tonight the contract will be signed! Stay tuned because up next we'll hear from Sean Waltman!

Interview with Sean Waltman and Ted DiBiase

Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break and we're taken to the interview area backstage where Kevin Kelly is standing by with Sean Waltman and his manager Ted DiBiase.

Kevin Kelly- Sean Waltman tonight you're going to be going one on one against Shawn Michaels. But last night you went toe to toe with Razor Ramon in what many feel was one of the best matches in your career. In the end it was Razor Ramon coming out on top but tonight you have a chance to get a huge win over the number one contender for the WWF Championship the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels.

Ted DiBiase- Sean Waltman might have lost last night but last night is last night. It's history. Tonight's the night where Sean Waltman makes a huge name for himself. The night where he defeats Shawn Michaels! Michaels you're a huge star and this win for Sean tonight will make him the automatic number one contender. Tonight is going to be Sean Waltman's night!

Sean Waltman- Razor Ramon last night you got lucky. Don't think for a second that we're done. You might have beaten me last night but I gave you the butt kicking of a lifetime. Next time we step into the ring the results will be alot different chico! And Shawn Michaels tonight you and I are going to go at it and tonight I will beat you! 1996 will not be your year....... It'll be MY year!

Kevin Kelly- Fans don't go anywhere because up next Sean Waltman goes one on one with Shawn Michaels!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Sean Waltman with Ted DiBiase Vs. Shawn Michaels

Waltman and Michaels put on a better match here than their matches from last night. And the crowd was very into it. Both men started off out wrestling each other and then taunting each other. The tide turned in Waltman's favor when he drilled Michaels with his spinning heel kick. Waltman controlled the rest of match using suplexes and his speed over the "Heart Break Kid". Waltman ended up dumping Michaels out on the floor which allowed Ted DiBiase to get a few shots in on Michaels while Waltman distracted referee Earl Hebner. Waltman continued getting a couple near falls over Michaels and almost won the match after drilling Michaels with a spinning back heel kick. Waltman ended up going up top but he took too long and went for a frog splash which allowed Michaels to move out of the way! Michaels fought back on Waltman hitting his signature maneuvers. Michaels came off the top with the flying elbow drop on Waltman and went to the corner to tune up the band. Ted DiBiase though grabbed Michaels' feet which prevented him from drilling Waltman with Sweet Chin Music. This allowed Waltman to use his educated feet on Michaels in the corner. Waltman lifted Michaels up and send Michaels for the ride...... Waltman went for a backdrop but HBK landed on his feet! Waltman then turned around right into Sweet Chin Music! Michaels hooked the legs and got the 1,2,3. Afterwards Shawn Michaels posed as Sean Waltman was helped to the back by Ted DiBiase. Monday Night Raw went off the air with Shawn Michaels celebrating his big victory.

Shawn Stasiak is making his debut here in the WWF. Austin didn't show this kid any kindness as he beat the living hell out of the second generation star. Stasiak looked pretty decent out there but he has no gimmick or anything so the crowd wasn't into him. Austin finished Stasiak off with the Stone Cold Stunner for the 1,2,3. Austin though wasn't done yet as he dragged Stasiak back up to his feet and hit another Stone Cold Stunner to the approval of Ted DiBiase.

Sycho Sid you haven't done a damn thing in this company. Sid let me make myself perfectly clear to you big ape. If you want a fight I'll give you one anytime, anywhere! Things are going to be a hell of alot different from now on! It's my era now and I will go right to the top of the World Wrestling Federation!

A pretty good back and fourth type match up here. Godwinns and Hillbilly Jim brought a goat out to the ringside area with them for some reason.....
