This was I though Neidhart and 123 Kid were both by far the weakest wrestlers in there matches.</p><p> </p><p> The Tag and women's matches were both just making up the numbers - really need to find solutions to these divisions.</p><p> </p><p> Meanwhile happy with the Lex / Million Dollar Man stuff - where as in real life Tatanka was the one to turn and get the win - I think this makes little sense - As the one who 'turns' will get the heat and will also need to get the win to cement the turn. - And I think Luger has more upside as a main event heel than Tatanka. Also with Bret, Savage and the soon to be returning Undertaker - I feel I have 3 good main event faces - but Yokozuna is losing momentum and Owen isn't yet cemented so Luger has more of a chance as a heel.</p><p> </p><p> Piper returns for the star power to try and turn the national battle tide - he continues his bad feud with Lawler from KOTR.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Champions;</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>WWF Heavyweight Championship / WWF Intercontinental Championship / WWF Tag Team Championship / WWF Women's Championship</strong></p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/EitODU7.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/izdV63O.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/GQBT2JT.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/sUo9fzm.jpg</span></p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/AiVNvXW.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/GlCkvyb.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/naJARLx.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/pDoNcgr.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/sjXeZhu.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Bret Hart / Diesel / The Headhsrinkers (Fatu & Samu) / Alundra Blayze</strong> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> WWF Heavyweight Champion: Bret Hart (Second Reign - Won Wrestlmania X - 20/3/94)</p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Diesel (First Reign - Won Superstars - 13/4/94)</p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions : The Headshrinkers (First Reign - Won RAW 26/4/94)</p><p> WWF Women's Champions: Alundra Blayze (First Reign - Won 13/12/93)</p><p> No Title Changes at the PPV.</p>

Doink (41): Angle: The Underfaker, Ted Dibiase; The Undertaker, Pauk Bearer (84): Opening up RAW where Ted DiBiase claims that he has bought the Undertaker, Paul Bearer comes out and says that it is not the real Undertaker. Angle: Alundra Blayze (63) The Women's Champion is here Angle; Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart; Bret (81) - Owen is sick and tired of living in Bret's shadow, Neidhart stands menacingly. Vince and JR on commentary wonder how Bret will respond. Owen Hart Def. Aldo Montoya (65): Owen then defeats the newly repacked PJ Walker via the sharpshooter. Angle: Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon (80): Diesel and Shawn mock Razor, insisting that Big Daddy Cool is the Intercontinental champion and always will be. Diesel & Shawn Michaels Def. The Smoking Gunns (74): A dominant performance from Diesel and Shawn before Diesel puts Bart away with a Jackknife. Overall a good RAW with the priority in advancing the three big storylines heading into SummerSlam

Bret's former tag team partner and brother in law Jim Neidhart returned at the King of the Ring and aligned himself with Owen. Battle of the Undertakers http://i.imgur.com/bSCrizy.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/85iUi7k.jpg After losing in a casket match at the Royal Rumble to Yokozuna, The Undertaker ascended and hasn't been seen since. Although now Ted Dibiase claims he has brought the Undertaker back to the WWF, something which Paul Bearer disagrees with. Razor Ramon v Diesel & Shawn Michaels: http://i.imgur.com/WQ8KSNN.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GlCkvyb.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/HRQIt8G.jpg Shawn Michaels briefly left the company in the Summer of 1993 and vacated the Intercontinental Championship in the process. Razor then won the title leading to an amazing 'unification' ladder match at Wrestlemania X. The feud has however bubbled on, with Shawn's mate Diesel recently defeating Razor for the title on Superstars. Lex Luger v Tatanka: http://i.imgur.com/5R9EWEB.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Y2MKBbT.jpg Ted DiBiase has been claiming Lex Luger is going to sell out and join the Million Dollar Club, and Tatanka doesn't like that one bit. Kwang v Adam Bomb: http://i.imgur.com/yPrQaPY.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/oJ9IYgx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/qIDV00q.jpg Harvey Whippleman's two clients can't get on and function as a tag team. Leading to an Adam Bomb face turn, after a failed interference from Kwang. I can't remember this feud actually featuring on RAW. As a rule of thumb it's not a good sign if the manager seems to be the key aspect of the feud, especially if the manager is Harvey Whippleman. Breakup of the Quebecers: http://i.imgur.com/jmegYtI.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kCOQJOw.jpg I think this feud was mostly for the Montreal House Show crowd. - Johnny Polo and Pierre have turned on Jacques, leading to a retirement match. A real shame as Quebeccers and Polo were some of the best of RAW in 93 and 94.f the best of RAW in 93 and 94.

Razor Ramon - Former Intercontinental Champion feuding with Diesel and Shawn Michaels - transforming the midcard.

Shawn Michaels - A fantastic in ring talent and outstanding on the mic - let's hope he doesn't have an attitude problem - or worse goes to the DubyaCeeDubya Diesel - An uneven 1994 as he had a monster Rumble, but was left off the Mania card - seems back on track with the IC Title and a World Title shot at the King of the Ring. Bam Bam Bigelow - Just sort of there - A good in ring worker and could be utilised as a top heel Jeff Jarrett - Hasn't done anything interesting in his time in the WWF - Last seen feuding with Doink - a good worker who should be useful going forward.
