October 28 - Raw The New Age Outlaws defeat Too Cool but then have to run for the hills when the Barbarian and Haku show up. As they head up the aisle - here come the Godwins! We’ve got a nice brawl as officials come out. The Outlaws have to try and get free but this one is far from over. The Rock w/ The Harlem Heat defeated Duke Droese. The Rock cuts a nice promo on Steve Austin - he let’s him know that the New Nation has their eyes on him and they will soon come to make some snake skin boots and a new briefcase for the Rock’s Intercontinental Championship. Savio Vega w/ Boricuas defeated Tatanka - Just as the Boricuas start to celebrate - the lights go out and a loud bang is heard… here comes KANE! Bearer leads him down to the ring… Savio sends his troops out… Kane with a huge boot to Castillo! Kane throws Perez into the ringsteps! Kane then throws Estrada over the guardrail! Savio comes to throw hands but Kane with a huge CHOKESLAM! Bearer looks to the camera… and says this is the beginning and the Undertaker is the one who needs to answer for Kane! The moment we’ve all been waiting for… here comes Vince McMahon and he wants to bring out Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman… they come through the crowd and have an aura on them right now. There are no smiles… no special signs… they just get in the ring and they’re face to face with Vince McMahon now… The promo does the best it can to shoot from the hip while keep the show moving. The crux of the discussion is that Hall and Nash call out Vince for being the boss and how he is the one who sent them packing when they started to become real stars. They talk about how he favored Shawn and did everything he could to build Shawn up while bringing Hall and Nash and Waltman down. They talk about how their contracts weren’t worth renewing but Bret Hart’s was… so much so that they were sent packing and he was given a huge deal… only to be screwed out of it a year later. They put over how Hunter is the one who fell on the sword and someday… somehow… Vince is going to have to answer for that crime. He is going to have to answer for what he did to Hunter… but they don’t care about Bret. They don’t care about Hogan. They don’t care about Bichoff. They are here to do one thing and that is reclaim their spot at the top of the WWF! They say that they aren’t the NWO… they aren’t WCW… they don’t even consider themself the WWF… their the Wolfpac and their here to cause mass destruction because they are the bad boys of wrestling! They drop the mics and push Vince out of the way and he gets right up there… Hall tuns back around and Vince looks like he might get frisky… Patterson and Brisco are down here… they are with officials…. The Wolfpac backs off…. They exit through the fans… Rikishi defeated Bob Holly - Nothing offensive, just cooling the crowd off. William Regal defends the European Championship against Bart Gunn - Fit Finlay then comes back out and he tries to get his hands on Regal who escapes by the skin of his teeth! HBK cuts a promo on Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love… he doesn’t even know. He does let the Wolfpack know that times have changed but they’ve also stayed the same. HBK is on top and everyone is looking up to him… if they think they’ve got what it takes step in the ring! Ken Shamrock defeated Steve Blackman… Lawler comes out and chastises Shamrock who says he still couldn’t pin him 1…2…3! Shamrock asks him to come out next week and see what happens… Lawler says he’ll be here! The Main Event for Raw tonight is a falls count anywhere match between Farooq and Bradshaw. They take the fight all over the ringside area and then back into the locker room. We see officials getting involved to keep things safe but Farooq and Bradshaw once again beat the hell out of them! We then see the two of them come crashing through a door… but it is the door of the Nation… Bradshaw gets up…. He backs off and now the Harlem Heat are stomping away at Farooq… Bradshaw then turns back around and goes in there to pull them off of him! Farooq and Bradshaw are now teaming up against the Harlem Heat and here comes the Rock! The Rock comes in and he leads the way as the New Nation take Farooq and Bradshaw out into the parking lot! Bradshaw with a clothesline from hell on Stevie Ray out of nowhere and then Farooq with a huge shoulder block sending Booker flying… wait a second… the Rock turns around…. STONE COLD! STONE COLD! Steve Austin with a couple of piston like right hands and then he slams the Rock’s head on the trunk of his car…the keys fall down… Austin tosses the Rock in the trunk and then closes it! You hear Austin lock the door and then he puts the keys in his pocket and jumps in his truck and speeds off as Raw fades to black!

October 26 - SNME Dusty Rhodes vs Jake Roberts Big time match to kick us off and these two give us a glimpse of the good stuff to come with these matches. Amazingly enough - first time we’ve seen them take on each other one on one since the beginning of their feud. The match is all psychology with Jake playing cat and mouse with Rhodes and then Rhodes playing the mind games to try and bring Roberts back into the fold. We get about 12-minutes of good action. The big moment happens when Gary Hart comes out and he speaks to Roberts. The two of them work together and we see Rhodes falling to the numbers game… wait a second… here come the Samoans and Fuji. Now things are really getting out of hand… but the tide turns when the Bushwhackers show up and even the odds. The finish sees Dusty with a couple of huge elbows and then we see Jake pull him out of the ring. The Samoans and Bushwhackers get into it… but Jake hits a DDT outside the ring on the floor and Dusty sells like crazy. Jake rolls in for the 10-count. Roberts with the win and he goes down to lay the boots into Roberts until we see Snuka come out and Roberts backs off with the Samoans. We get a special Brother Love show with Rick Rude, Haku, Barb, Warlord, and Heenan. They put over the big event of Survivor Series and how they plan to take out Warrior, Giant, and the Rockers. Nothing too big here but a lot of talk. That is until we hear Rude start running down the Giant for breaking his nose. Rude says he’s calling out andre and he wants him in the ring to even the odds! Randy Savage & Tito Santana vs The Great Muta & Terry Funk w/ Paul E Dangerously A good showcase - these four know what is going on. We finally get Funk and Savage in a one on one kind of… but the real highlight is Muta and Savage. They completly blow off the roof. Funk and Santana actually give quite the showcase and work the fans. The finish sees Muta get the green myst right into Savage’s eyes… with the beard… the visual is something. Tito is then hit with a nasty spinning heel kick… and Funk gets the PILEDRIVER on Santana for the 3-count! Elizabeth tries to help Savage and we see the imprint of his face on her dress. The British Bulldog vs Michael Rotundo w/ Slick A fun little match to show off the Bulldog who looks awesome. We hear about the injury to Curtish Hughes. Bulldog is able to make work of Rotundo after a nice 10-minute contest but then we see the Human Wrecking Machine - Zeus come out and he won’t be stopped. He hammers down on Bulldog something awful. We’ve got Martel and the Gang out here. The Enforcers are really beating down on Bulldog until Owen and Neidhart run out but nothing doing until the Bossman comes out with the Night Stick and the Enforcers back off. Steiners vs Rougeaus US Tag Titles A main event for some intents and purposes. This one goes about 17-mintues and we gets some great tag team action. Ray Rougeau seems ot have some nagging injuries or something going on here but Jacques keeps the pace. The finish sees Rick Steiner hit a twilt-a-whirl slam on Jacques and then a Frankensteiner on Raymond for the 1…2…3!! The Steiners have won the US tag titles!

Shamrock may have to come and see what is up

Havoc 1997 - what it was known for and what you've created are two different things... I can't say that Edge and Christian, in 1997 are at the level of the NAO in regard to beating the Road Warriors - but to each their own in that right - gotta crack the eggs to make dinner - Benoit getting the tv title is right and he could bring some real prestige to that title with the crew you've got - Rey gets the win and goes to a new height... I like this move and Eddy isn't hurt - Steiners win and get some antics from Doink which causes intrigue - Hart Foundation and Horsemen is a match made in heaven or hell depending - Owen Hart sets the stage though with the US title win - Luger, Savage, Hogan, & Triple H - the NWO - all strong pieces and no weak link - wonder how the Harts and Horsemen will match up

October 21 - Raw Raw opens up this week with Vince and Lawler putting over a huge night of action… tonight we’ll see the showdown between Jerry Lawler and Ken Shamrock… plus the New Age Outlaws take on the Barbarian and Haku… plus who will Shawn Michaels choose to take on Cactus Jack?!? Wait just a moment… here comes STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN! Austin comes out and he cuts a promo on the Rock and the New Nation. He tells them that they are nothing but trash and he’s going to take them out one at a time! He says he has his eyes on the Intercontinental Championship and that means the Rock is in his sights and he’s closing in! This brings out the Rock and Harlem Heat… Rock says that contrary to popular belief… it isn’t Rock season but Steve Austin season and they’ve got hunting passes and they are ready to make Snakeskin boots out of his rattlesnake ass! Austin tells them that he doesn’t mind the odds and if the Rock is feeling frisky… he should bring his ass down to the ring and see what happens! European Champion, William Regal defeated Duke Droese… Fit Finlay showed up out of nowhere to attack him. Fit looks pissed about something… Regal escapes with his title in hand. The Rock & the new Nation cut a promo on Steve Austin along with Farooq. They put over how the New Nation is a stronger nation that Farooq could have ever put together and he’s going to feel the ramification of that when they get their hands on him. Bradshaw vs Farooq - Round II - went to a double DQ outside the ring. These guys beat the living shit out of one another and man did they lay into each other. Officials try to break this up but Farooq and Bradshaw end up beating the hell out of them instead. Savio Vega is shown and he’s got some buddies behind him… Castillo, Perez, & Estrada he let’s everyone know that he’s got the backup now and he’s going to show the world why Puerto Rico creates the best and toughest wrestlers in the world. The WWF is about to find that out the hard way! Ken Shamrock vs Jerry Lawler ended up being a no-contest due to Shamrock going absolutely Ape-Shit. He beat the hell out of Lawler in the corner and then we locked him up in the ankle lock and he will not let go! We even go to a commercial break and come back with Shamrock being dragged off of Lawler. Lawler is writhing in pain as Vince puts it over in a big way. So now things pick up a little bit… once again… the security is pulling Shamrock to the back… from behind Vince… Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman show up and this time Kevin Nash pulls on Vince to get his attention and Vince stands up with a look in his eyes. Kevin is heard saying “Give me a live Mic and let’s get this figured out!” Waltman “Come on Boss Man… write us a check like the old days!” Nash “Come on Mr. McMahon… you sent Bret away… see if you can send us away!” We then see officials come down and back them off… Nash yells “see us next week in the ring!” The New Age Outlaws vs The Barbarian and Haku ended up being quite the shit show with the Outlaws doing everything they could to get away from Barb and Haku. Barb and Haku finally get a hold of them and the Outlaws have got to prove themselves quickly. This one ends up in a count out victory when the Outlaws run into the crowd. Sgt. Slaughter comes out and then he makes an announcement… next week… on Raw… a 4 corners tag team match for the WWF tag team titles… the Headbangers… the Godwins… Haku and Barbarian… and the New Age Outlaws! Cactus Jack makes his way down to the ring and he looks ready for a fight… whomever Michaels picks… if Jack wins… he gets the one on one match for the title! Michaels then pops out and he looks irate. He whispers something to Rude and then to Chyna. Michaels says he wanted to send Rude but he didn’t want to get his hands dirty… he wanted to send Chyna but the WWF wouldn’t sign off… so instead… he found someone… 600 pounds… 6’8”.... A former King of the Ring… MABLE! Cactus Jack vs Mable ended up being somewhat entertaining for what its worth. Jack took some serious blows and even a ring step spot where Mable fell backwards with Jack on his back onto the steps. The finish saw Jack go up top and Mable catches him… Jack somehow breaks his grip… Mable runs for a splash in the corner but Jack moves… Jack then rears back and cracks Mable’s head on the ringpost and he comes tumbling down and then we get the 3-count! Jack has won it and he has his shot against HBK… when will he cash it in? Tune in next week to find out!

Oct 21 WWF Raw Jake Roberts is in the back and he’s talking to someone… he turns around… it is Gary Hart! They shake hands and we hear Hart say something along the lines of… I have got just the guy to help you out with Rhodes! We then see Mr. Fuji walk up… he shakes hands with Gary Hart and announces that the Samoans will be excited to join the team! Raw opens with Gorilla and Jesse putting over SNME this weekend and then the Survivor Series in one month’s time. This weekend, we’ll see the US tag titles on the line when the Steiners look to get the gold back from the Rougeau Brothers… plus Randy Savage and Tito Santana team up against Terry Funk and the Great Muta! Don’t forget… we’ll see Dusty Rhodes against Jake Roberts and then the British Bulldog taking on Michael Rotundo. Tonight we see the Bossman taking on Curtis Hughes… so much action… let’s go to the ring! Big Bossman vs Curtis Hughes w/ Slick -This is a fun one for the Bossman who has come into his own. He looks great. He’s getting some love from the fan. Everything is clicking. Bossman even triggers that mean streak and he rams Hughes’ arm into the ringpost… once…. Twice… and then a third time and the crowd is going wild! Slick is trying to help his man but Bossman brings him back in and hits a couple of body slams on the arm and Hughes is writhing in pain! Slick is trying to call the match off and here comes the Bossman Slam! 1….2…..3! Bossman then grabs the night stick and CRACKS Hughes in the arm! He cracks him again! Hughes runs off to the back and he’s in a bad way! Randy Savage is in the back with Tito Santana and Mean Gene… they put over the Survivor Series and this weekend’s big tag team match… Savage is asked who is last two teammates will be and Savage announces that they won’t be here tonight… but they will this weekend… in fact they are going to put the spook in a spectacular win for the Macho Men this weekend! Funk and Muta may have tricks up their sleeves but they don’t have what Macho and Tito have… Heart… and that’s what counts the most! The Skyscrapers w/ Paul E destroyed a couple of dudes…Paul E chimes in during the match to let us know that the Skyscrapers are towering over the competition and come the Survivor Series… they are going to destroy anyone that Savage brings to the fight! We get a follow up from earlier… Slick is shown sending Curtis Hughes off in the ambulance… he has his arm heavily taped up… he says the Bossman done made the biggest mistake of his whole damn life! Dino Bravo defeated Paul Blake -We get a Hacksaw promo during the contest… he’s got the Steiners and Koko already to go with their 2x4s and Flags. He says he can’t wait for the Steiners to bring home the US tag titles this weekend! We get another follow up with Slick who is arguing with Rick Martel… he tells him he has got a plan… a plan that is going to tear the heart and soul from the Bossman’s team! Mean Gene is on the other side and he’s got Terry Funk with him… Funk puts over his issue with Randy Savage and talks about the SNME this weekend and what it is going to mean to him to get rid of Savage before Survivor Series. He says he has known Tito Santana for years and he’s nothing but a yellow belly and he will show his true colors! Owen Hart & Jim Neidhart defeated the Shadows - The Rocket and the Anvil make a nice debut as a team here… but then the unthinkable happens… after the match… we see Slick walk down to the ring and he’s got the Human Wrecking Machine with him… Zeus… he tells Zeus to take them out and we see Zeus get in the ring and beat the living hell out of both of these guys. The fans are almost shocked at what is going on. Officials and agents come down and try to stop this until Slick pulls him back and walks off the the back… Slick seems to have gone an eye for an eye here! Mean Gene is with Dusty Rhodes and asks him his thoughts on Jake Roberts and Gary Hart… Rhodes brings in Snuka and the Bushwhackers… he talks about how he has got men whom he can trust and he will go to war with. IT doesn’t matter who he brings Jake Roberts is nothing but a snake in the grass and it is time he paid his dues if you will! The Ultimate Warrior vs The Barbarian w/ Bobby Heenan - Main Event time… Warrior is such a wild animal out there… even Barb is able to slam him down enough to have a decent match. Heenan is so key outside the ring… Jesse and Gorilla put it over in a big way… we then see Rude come out to try and distract Warrior by posing with the title and showing off his body but Warrior no sells it before hitting the ropes and nails Barb with a big shoulder block! Rude turns around to find ANDRE THE GIANT there… Andre with a nasty headbutt and Rude’s nose is busted wide open! Inside the ring… Warrior with a big splash and the 1….2….3!! Warrior and Andre celebrate… while Rude… bleeding profusely from the nose… is ushered to the back with Barb and Heenan… we’ll see you this weekend for SNME!

Glad I was able to get Smokey Mountain on my Satellite dish... Even at this point ... in 1997... I could see this being a big deal for the territory. This is a solid mix of old school talent and some young fresh faces... with Cornette at the helm there's a lot of the horizon for these guys. My money is on Terry Gordy coming in and being a huge deal from the get go!

As a heads up ECW and WWF has swapped first round picks.

Looks good to me.

Can I pick up Honky Tonk Man as a part time wrestler? I think I have one more open spot.

One more - drop Ernest "The Cat" Miller and pick up Rick Martel

WWF Drops: Glacier & Prince Iaukea WWF Picks up: Miguel Pérez José Estrada Jr. Jesús Castillo

Noticed I have Dave Taylor and ECW has David Taylor... so he needs to be off my list. Also - could I swap Buff Bagwell for Rikishi?

WWF makes a claim on Sean Morley - Val Venis and would like to pick him up and drop Van Hammer.

Oct 14 WWF Raw Raw opens with footage from last week… we see the survivor series teams starting to come together. In the back we get a view of Dino Bravo hanging out with Earthquake and the Rougeau Brothers. They are pumping up that Colossal Canadian Team and they say the All-Americans are going to be in serious trouble! WWF Tag Team Champions, the Rockers defeated the Russians. On the way to the back, we see the Heenan Family walk into the Brother Love set. The Powers of Pain say something to them and the Rockers seem to step up… but then Rude and Haku get involved and out of the back, the crowd explodes… It is Andre the Giant. He puts his arms around the Rockers and the Heenan Family back up… The Heenan Family join Brother Love. They put over the Survivor Series and each take their own shots but it doesn’t last long. Here comes the Ultimate Warrior and he’s got Andre and the Rockers with him. They turn the tide and say they are the ones who will be taking the Family down… one member at a time… Andre then looks at Heenan and says then it will just be you! Dino Bravo & The Rougeau Brothers win a six-man tag team match. They bring the Earthquake in to squash their opponents but then we see Hacksaw come out with the 2x4 and the Steiners and Koko are with him! Dino and the Canadians back off. We get a promo from Jake the Snake who is ripe with some fury tonight. He says he is looking for animalistic instincts for his team… but the team isn’t the important part… its the survival. He has the survival instincts and when it comes to the Survivor Series… well… a team is good but being the sole survivor is the only main objective. The Bushwhackers defeated two dudes and work the fans… then we see Samu and Fatu walk out with Mr. Fuji… they look like they’re going to go to war with the Bushwhackers but nothing doing. The Samoans then beat the hell out of two jobbers. Fuji is smiling. In the back, we see Dusty Rhodes talking with Mean Gene. They put over the Survivor Series and Dusty Rhodes says he has got some boys who have survived the scars of time. He brings in Jimmy Snuka and says that they are going to wild and crazy guys looking for a bad time with some bad guys but when it is all said and done - there can only be one survivor and this is the Dream Team babay! Owen Hart makes his debut against the Night Stalker In the back, Rick Martel is standing by with the Enforcers and they talk about Bossman reaching out and trying his hand with Owen, Davey, and Neidhart. Next week we will see Curtis Hughes taking on the Bossman… and they are going to eliminate him before the Survivor Series even begins! We return to Raw and Dan Spivey is in the ring with Paul E. They are hyping up the crowd… and you know that Funk can’t be far behind… before he goes out… we see Tito Santana walk up to Savage and tell him that he’s got his back… Savage says he might have something up his sleeve but if he needs help he will appreciate it. Randy Savage defeated Dan Spivey via DQ when Paul E interfered. Mean Mark made his way down to the ring and continued to get involved. This pulled out Tito Santana who made good on his word and helped Savage out of the jam. We find out that Savage and Santana will take on Funk and Muta @ the SNME!

Pictures will come with Free time - which isn't in abundance. October 14 - Raw - Newark RAW VIDEO Raw opens this week with footage of Stone Cold Steve Austin taking it to the Rock last week to end the show and announcing that he is back and ready to step into the ring! We head down to Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler ringside as they put over a huge night of action. Tonight we’ll see Stone Cold Steve Austin in this very ring against Stevie Ray. We’ll also see the Tag Team Championship on the line when the Headbangers take on the Barbarian and Haku! Plus… the new European Champion was crowned this weekend… he is here… wait just a moment… here comes Shawn Michaels, Chyna, and Rick Rude! HBK comes out with his entourage and he is once again as ignorant and arrogant as ever. He starts by talking about how the WWF is rotting away with the useless talent who can’t even lace his boots. He says guys like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin couldn’t last 10-minutes in the ring with him. He says he destroyed the Undertaker and we’ll never see him again. Then he turns his attention to Mankind and says he should do all of Mankind a favor and jump off the Brooklyn Bridge… that brings him out… Mankind comes out and says that he wants to challenge Michaels for the title but HBK say he doesn’t deserve the chance…. He’s beaten him before and he’ll do it again… Mankind says yes… Shawn Michaels has beat Mankind… and he’s beat Dude Love… he goes behind the curtain and comes back out… BUT YOU HAVEN’T BEAT CACTUS JACK! BANG BANG! The crowd goes wild! Michaels is shaking his head no… no… no! Could Michaels be due to face the one and only Cactus Jack!?!? WWF Tag Team Championship The Barbarian and Haku defeated The Headbangers via DQ when the Godwins got involved and it was a 3-way tag team brawl! We get a fun little promo from the New Age Outlaws… they are laughing at the brawl in the ring. Commissioner Slaughter walks up behind them… they continue to giggle… but Sarge then announces that next week… the Outlaws will face the Barbarian and Haku! The Patriot defeated Savio Vega - well - wasn’t much. Don’t know how long the Patriot is going to last. Vince gets serious for a moment and talks about what we saw last week… those men are not associated with the WWF and we apologize for their disturbance! We then cut to a special video of William Regal… he won the vacant European Championship over the weekend at a special WWF joint event in London. Regal won the finals against Fit Finlay. We saw Dave Taylor work with Regal to secure the victory. We’re told that Regal is having trouble getting to the building… but we’ll hopefully see him next week! Ken Shamrock defeated Van Hammer via Ankle Lock submission - Lawler was running him down the entire time. Shamrock walked over to him and Lawler told him to go back to fighting in alleys and bingo halls… Shamrock got closer and Lawler smacked him in the face! Shamrock looked like he was about to snap and went after him before security had to come out. They escorted Shamrock to the back. He was screaming for Lawler! Security is escorting Shamrock to the back… Michael Cole gets him for a moment… Shamrock says he is sick and tired of Jerry Lawlers BS. He wants to challenge him in that ring next week and we’ll see if he has what it takes to back up his mouth! The New Age Outlaws defeated Duke Droese & Steve Blackman - once again… the Outlaws are looking great as a team… Shawn Michaels is in the back with Chyna and Rude… they are arguing with Patterson, Brisco, and Sarge. Michaels is saying that there is no way he will be in the ring with Cactus Jack. He’s a menace… he’s crazy… Sarge says he is making all kinds of matches and perhaps this will be his next one… but he tells Michaels that Cactus can be the number one contender but he will have to pick his opponent next week… if Cactus Jack wins… then he gets the title shot… Farooq vs Bradshaw went to a double count out - both men beat the living shit out of one another in the ring but then the match went outside the ring and the referee called for the 10-count as both men refused to re-enter the ring. Amidst the chaos… Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are interrupted but this time… it is Sean Waltman and Scott Hall! They are messing with JR and wearing his cowboy hat. JR is asking them what they want…. What is it…. Hall says he wants to see Razor Ramon…. Diesel… 123 Kid… he wants Vince McMahon! Security escorts them away from the camera… Ross and Lawler try to compose themselves. Buff Bagwell makes his debut with a nice win over Al Snow - Buff works the crowd with his muscles and looks they don’t seem to care too much. The Rock and Harlem Heat - the New Nation are in the back with Michael Cole. They put over the issue with Steve Austin and the Rock says that Austin is climbing up a mountain he just can’t reach. The Intercontinental Championship is out of his grasp and will always be as long as the Rock has it! Rock says Austin is all about himself but the Nation is a unit… together we stand and we will never fall! Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Stevie Ray in a lopsided match but the crowd was white hot. We see the Rock and Booker T come out. Austin gets the Stunner victory before the Rock and Booker pounce but Austin is able to hold them off for a moment until Farooq runs back down and helps clean house. The New Nation is backing up but they have got smiles on their faces…more next week!

Simple yet effective - I could somehow see Mongo doing well here. Rock N Roll are always here to stay and do some good stuff. This should be a fun promotion to keep an eye on.

Memphis is back in the fold with all the pieces to make it a complete puzzle of what will happen next.

Raw opens with a video package from Badd Blood… we see the Godwins winning the WWF tag titles from the Head Bangers. We see The Rock defeat Farooq to not only win the IC title but also put an end to the Nation of Domination. Then things slow down for the epic HELL IN A CELL MATCH! We see the blood pouring from Shawn Michaels… then the debut that no one was prepared for… KANE! Kane tombstoned the Undertaker to the depths of HELL and walked out with Paul Bearer. Michaels got the win and Chyna carried him to the back…a bloody mess! The Raw video hits and here we go with Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, ringside for Monday Night Raw! The crowd is going wild as Vince and Lawler put over Badd Blood… and then talk about how we will hear from Stone Cold Steve Austin… The Rock… and of course (Music hits) SHAWN MICHAELS! HBK comes out to the ring with a huge bandage on his head and Chyna by his side…Rude is also behind them as they get to the ring… HBK cuts a scathing promo putting himself over for single handedly beating the Undertaker last night. He says there is a little less baggage in the ring tonight… he had to trim the fat and this is a revolutionary move named D-Generation X! Michaels is the talent… Chyna is the muscle… and Rude is the insurance policy! They have one thing left to do and that is the lay it all on the line… Shawn Michaels has beat everyone… He has headlined the last two main events… he is the rightful WWF Championship and he’s ready for any and all comers… Then we see Mankind come out to a lil pop from the crowd and he says that he wants to be the next one to challenge Shawn Michaels… HBK, Rude, and Chyna are all laughing up a storm. Mankind says that it isn’t nice to pick on people… he says that maybe he needs to teach Shawn some humility… Shawn lets his know that he doesn’t have time for him… he’s got more important things and women to do! Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg win a tag team match against Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor- Vince puts over how they are getting a lot of momentum and gelling at a team. (For the purpose of our game - Todd Pettengill’s character will be used for Michael Cole… he has a very difficult figure to acquire…) Michael Cole interviews Farooq who says he is no longer running around with a bunch of hoods who call themselves a Nation… there is no Nation… it is the dictatorship of Farooq… tonight he’s going to show the world why they need to take him seriously! Ken Shamrock defeated Bob Holly. Jerry Lawler talks with Shamrock outside the ring… says he is starting to finally get some skill in the ring but to be honest… there is a lot left to be desired… Shamrock gets in his face but Lawler backs up and says that he was just kidding Mr. Personality… Shamrock asks him what his problem is… Lawler say it is his lack of humor and wrestling ability… Shamrock says he will show him what it is all about… anytime! Haku & The Barbarian defeated The Godwins via DQ in their return to the WWF. The Faces of Fear with Jimmy Hart are back in the WWF and they prove to be out of control. The Godwins seem to be in a rough spot since losing the tag titles last night. We’re in the back and we see The Rock and he is standing with his New Nation members… Booker T and Stevie Ray. They put over the movement here in the WWF and how things are going to get a lot better for them before too long. Rock says that he had to put Farooq out to pasture… and anyone else in his path will end up the same way… In what can only be described as shocking… Raw returns with Vince giving Lawler the 4th degree but out of nowhere… someone comes up and flips Vince’s headset off. McMahon gets up and turns around and OMG… KEVIN NASH AND SCOTT HALL are here on RAW! Nothing is clear… in is inaudible… but just enough… “Why haven’t you returned our calls Vinnie… huh?” “Figured since you can’t pick up the phone, we’ll come here and see what’s good…” Security is very heavy now and we see them being flanked and pushed back. Hall and Nash just accosted McMahon… we then cut to black… and here comes KANE! Kane walks out with Paul Bearer and Bearer runs down the Undertaker something awful and says we have seen the end of him once and for all! He says that the Undertaker knew about Kane the whole time… and he’s the one responsible for the burns on his body and the mental scars that it caused. Undertaker will feel the fire of Kane before too long… if not here… then they will be on the hunt to find him! Raw is back… McMahon has been replaced by Jim Ross. They don’t mention the Hall and Nash thing… they put over Badd Blood and then pumps us up for our main event that has been pushed back… tonight we’ll see the Farooq taking on Booker T! WWF Tag Team Champions - The Head Bangers defeat Al Snow & Bart Gunn - a good first showing for the Head Bangers who are hoping this is a successful run with the gold! In the back, Michael Cole is joined by Mankind who says that he doesn’t think he can beat Shawn Michaels… but he knows just who can! The Rock defeated Savio Vega and retained the WWF intercontinental championship… Everyone is cheering for Stone Cold here… it was deafening! Shawn Michaels, Rick Rude, and Chyna are shown in the back… Jim Ross tries to talk with them but Michaels says that his time in the WWF is ticking and he’s going to take his ball and go home just like the Shitman did a year ago… he says that Vince McMahon better pay up because there are quite a few people looking at him for answers! Once again, Ross asks Michaels if he will face Mankind and HBK says there’s not a chance in hell we’ll see Shawn Michaels and Mankind in the ring, one on one! In our Main Event… we saw Farooq defeat Booker T via DQ when the Rock and Stevie Ray got involved. They started to work him over and then GLASS SHATTERS! Here comes Stone Cold Steve Austin! Austin comes down and clotheslines Stevie Ray in the aisleway… steps inside to throw Booker T over the top to the floor… Rock runs for a clothesline but Austin ducks… Rock gets up and STONE COLD STUNNER sending Rock out of the ring to the floor! Austin gets on the microphone to announce that in his pocket… he has a paper clearing him for action in the WWF and he’s coming after The Rock’s ass!

Oct 7 WWF Raw Raw has a cold open with Rick Martel surrounded by Michael Rotundo, Curtis Hughes, Slick, The One Man Gang, and Zeus. They talk about being the Enforcers of the WWF and they are going to put the Bossman down, where he belongs! Tonight the One Man Gang is going to clash a 747 right through his chest! Zeus then pops in to say he’s going to DESTROY THE BOSSMAN! Raw opens with Gorilla and Jesse pumping up the big night including the Bossman vs the One Man Gang… Andre the Giant is here… the Survivor Series is on the Horizon and good golly here comes the American Dream Dusty Rhodes! Dusty Rhodes defeated Mark Sommers with the Bionic Elbow… Dusty then goes on to cut a nice promo on Jake Roberts… he lets him know that he ain’t hard to find and he is going to be at Saturday Night’s Main Event on October the 26th… if Jake is lucky he will hide behind a mask because because it is going to be some Halloween Havoc when Dusty Rhodes gets his hands on you! We get a promo from Bobby Heenan who is in the back with the WWF Champ, The King, and the Powers of Pain. They put over what happened last week with Andre and how it was Rick Rude who single handedly pinned the Giant 1…2…3 in the middle of the ring. Rick Rude states that this World Title is rightfully his and there is not one challenger who can step up to him in the middle of that ring. Mean Gene then points out how it is the Ultimate Warrior who has put out the challenge for Rick Rude but Rude says he hasn’t earned it. The Powers of Pain let everyone know that the Rockers were lucky last time but next time there will be no luck… just pain! This is the Heenan Family Survivor Series team and there is no one who the Warrior can get that will be able to put them down! The Rougeaus defeat Mike Howard & Sammy Simpson… We hear from the Steiners who let us know that they will get their shot at the US tag titles come Saturday October the 26th. They can’t wait to wipe the floor with the Rougeaus and bring those titles back where they belong in the US of A! Hacksaw Jim Duggan is in the back with Mean Gene. He puts over how his team of All-Americans is going to destroy whomever Bravo gets. It is going to be the most one-sided survivor series match of all time. It is going to be good for the OL USA Tough Guy! He then welcomes in his crew… Koko B Ware and the Steiner Brothers. They put over their union and talk about representing the Red, White, and Blue and turning Bravo and his crew BLACK AND BLUE! Davey Boy Smith defeated Johnny Wilcox via the Powerslam! Once Davey gets done he goes out of the ring and… what’s this… he shakes hands with two guys ringside… Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart! What is going on with these three? They shake hands as Davey Boy goes to the back… they smile at the camera. We’re in the back with Terry Funk and he’s got his buddies… his team… the Dangerous Alliance behind him. Funk and Dangerously discuss how Muta, Spivey, and Mean Mark will be joining Terry Funk to rid the WWF of that no-good Macho Maniac. Terry Funk says he is a mild mannered, sophisticated, role model for all these kids out here… but if Savage continues… then he’s going to show him the Funk side that people have talked about for a decade. He is going to give Savage more than he can handle… and he doesn’t think Savage will even be able to get people to be team members! The Ultimate Warrior defeated Kenny Spears! Warrior with a beatdown and a true showcase of power. We then see Andre come out and shake his hand… it appears as though these two have an agreement. Warrior then says they are survivors! We’re back on Raw and here is Randy Savage… he stands out there for the crowd… he puts over the Survivor Series. He says that he has some calls in… and he wants to let the cat out of the bag but it isn’t the right time… next week… Savage is one on one with Spivey… if his team needs to show up - they will! The Big Bossman defeated the One Man Gang w/ Slick via disqualification - Here comes the crew though… Zeus… Rotundo… Hughes… Martel… and Bossman is in trouble… they pounce but wait a second… here comes the British Bulldog! Bulldog runs back down and he is trying to break things up but nothing doing… WAIT A MINUTE… OWEN AND NEIDHART JUMP THE RAIL AND JOIN IN ON THE FIGHT! Owen, Neidhart, Davey Boy, and Bossman clear the ring! The crowd is going nuts! Has Bossman found his team? Will they be able to stop Martel’s team with Slick? We’ll find out more next week… plus Savage vs Spivey… see you then!
