  1. I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm having a lot of fun writing it. Work has taken me away from my hobbies for a bit but I'm really looking forward to Survivor Series and a couple things I have planned going forward. I use Inkscape for most of my graphics. It's essentially a free, open-source version of Adobe Illustrator.

You've got the near seven-footer Diesel, the giant powerhouse in Crush, the most exciting wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation Shawn Michaels, and the biggest, nastiest athlete in the world, Yokozuna!

In addition to that contest, we'll see the self-proclaimed 'King of Harts' Owen Hart take on the British Bulldog.

Welcome everyone, to Monday Night RAW! I’m Vince McMahon here with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and we’re just three weeks away from Survivor Series! Tonight we’ll see Owen Hart in action as he prepares for his Survivor Series matchup against the British Bulldog!” “That’s the ‘King of Harts’, McMahon, and it takes a King to know a king!” adds Lawler. “We’re also going to see Razor Ramon in action as he takes on a man who was responsible for his attack a few weeks ago, Crush!” “’The Bad Guy’ didn’t look so bad when he was laying on the concrete…” Tires screech as Razor Ramon’s theme music hits. “It looks like we’re not going to have to wait long. Here comes Razor Ramon!” says Vince. Razor Ramon steps out of the curtain in red ring attire with a red vest, trunks, gold chains around his neck and the Intercontinental Title belt around his waist. He glides down the aisle with his arms stretched in front and behind him before climbing in to the ring which is illuminated with a Razor Ramon spotlight logo. He does his signature taunt which gets a pop from the crowd before the lights come up and he grabs a microphone. He addresses Diesel and Shawn Michaels first before moving onto his opponent for tonight and issuing a challenge. “Heartbreak Kid, Big Daddy Cool, you know by now that The Bad Guy…is always ready for a fight, but now it looks like you want a war. But first...there's business...Razor Ramon...has to take care of. Crush, tonight…Razor Ramon is going to get a piece of you. But that’s not enough, chico. I want more and I want it at the Survivor Series. Diesel…Shawn Michaels…Crush…Yokozuna, let’s go to war. All of you on one side of the ring…and on the side of The Bad Guy…the 1-2-3 Kid…and Adam Bomb. That’s not all though, chicos. As for the fourth man… I have…a surprise…for you.” “Did you hear that, McMahon? A mystery partner! Who could it be? Razor Ramon doesn’t have friends!” shouts Lawler. “I guess we’re going to have to wait to find out!” adds Vince. “Fans don’t go anywhere!” “That’s right, up next it’s The King’s Court and I have a very special guest!” Razor tosses his toothpick at the camera lens and exits down the aisle as we go to commercial. SEGMENT RATING: 94 A We return from the commercial break as Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler stands in the middle of the ring with royal décor as his majestic theme music plays in the background. The King taunts the crowd before inviting his special guest to the ring, ‘Double J’ Jeff Jarrett. Jeff Jarrett’s Tennessee waltz hits and he struts his way down the aisle in his white ring attire, a white jacket with two big orange Js on it, and a flashing cowboy hat and glasses, looking cocky like he always does. He climbs in the ring and struts some more before taking his place next to The King. “Double J, first thing’s first, let’s go back to last week on RAW.” A video clip of Jeff Jarrett smashing Mabel over the head with the guitar is shown at the mosaic monitor screen at the entrance as Lawler gives play by play. “Wham! If only the San Diego Padres had more guys that could swing like that!” “King, you’re looking at a country music superstar and if there’s anything I know, it’s how to make a smash hit!” “Now ‘Double J’ there are some people you’re biting off more than you can chew. After all Mabel is about three times your size.” “You know King, it doesn’t matter, because at the end of the day, I am the greatest wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation and I can beat any man back in that locker room no matter how big they are, including Mabel. They may have the brawn, but I have the brains, the athletic ability, and simply put, the greatness! As a matter of fact, I’ll prove it. I’m issuing a challenge to any big man in the back to come down here and face 'Double J' Jeff Jarrett right now! That's J-E-Double-F, J-A-Double-R-E-Double T.” Double J takes off his ring attire as the ring attendants start removing the King’s royal furniture. Just then circus music hits and the crowd pops as Doink steps out of the curtain. Jarrett and Lawler look at each other puzzled as Doink takes a few steps down the aisle before turning and pointing to the curtain. Dink steps out with his hands cocked, ready to fight. Lawler and Jarrett turn to each other and laugh! Dink pauses on the opposite sides of the aisle as Doink as the circus music cuts and a low rumble is heard as the drum-heavy theme music of the Natural Disasters begins to play. Typhoon steps out of the curtain. “Double J asked for a big man and he sure got one! It’s Typhoon!” shouts McMahon. Typhoon slowly stomps his way down to the ring, slapping the hands of Doink and Dink who make their way to the back. SEGMENT RATING: 75 B- Typhoon climbs into the ring and approaches Lawler who dives through the ropes. Jarrett holds his hand up near Typhoon’s chest, seemingly having second thoughts about his challenge but the bell rings. The two men lock up. In a decent match, Jeff Jarrett defeated Typhoon in 7:49 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Comments: Typhoons would control much of this match with his pure strength and size with Jarrett spending much of the time on the mat, begging off, and looking for any dirty edge he could find. Eventually, Jarrett would score a roll up victory on the big man, grabbing onto his tights out of the sight of the referee to steal the victory. MATCH RATING: 64 C We return from commercial as Bob “Spark Plug” Holly stands on the second rope with his arms raised, receiving cheers from the fans. Owen Hart’s music hits and he makes his way through the curtain down the ring to a chorus of boos from the fans. He has a sour look on his face, as usual. “Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Owen Hart but first we’ve got a special guest on the line who’s very familiar with the man making his way down to the ring: Bret “Hitman” Hart. Bret, thanks for joining us.” “Thank you Vince. Always a pleasure.” “Hitman next week you’ll have a chance to stand face to face with the man who will challenge you for the WWF World Heavyweight Title. Tell us your thoughts.” “That’s right, Vince. Lex Luger has been talking the talk but he’s going to need to walk the walk and the first step of that is putting pen to paper and making this official.” “Bret, you’re going to sign your World Heavyweight title away as you’ll officially have to prove you’re not a coward by inking that contract for Survivor Series.” “You know what, King, I’ve proven time and time again that I’ll take on all comers. I’ve been a fighting champion since day one and I’ve never backed down from a challenge.” “That’s absolutely right, Hitman, any final words for Lex Luger?” “Absolutely. Luger, I’ve seen you parading around with that Million Dollar Championship belt like you earned something. The belt I’m holding in my hands right now is the product of decades of hard work, dedication, and making sure that I’m the best of the best. Come Survivor Series, you’re going to find out what so many others have learned along the way, and that is that I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. You may have the raw strength advantage, but I’m the best technical wrestler in the WWF. In just a few weeks you’re going to be excellently executed and I’m going to retain this WWF World Heavyweight Title!” SEGMENT RATING: 100 A+ Owen mocks Spark Plug, pointing his hands his direction as the crowd cheers his opponent. Owen then turns and raises both fists in the air as the fans boo loudly, causing Owen to stomp in frustration. The two men circle each other and lock up to start this one. In a decent match, Owen Hart defeated Bob Holly in 10:29 by submission with a Sharpshooter. Comments: Owen Hart and Bob Holly put on an athletic back and forth contest. Both wrestlers had good momentum going into this match and it showed. Ultimately Owen's technical skills would prove to be too much for Spark Plug who would drop this one after submitting to the Sharpshooter. MATCH RATING: 81 B We return from the final commercial break. The fans boo as Crush makes his way down to the ring with Mr. Fuji. He stares intensely at the fans who boo loudly as Mr. Fuji waves the Japanese flag high. Crush enters the ring the ring where he performs some basic martial arts poses before bowing to Mr. Fuji. The crowd erupts in an instant as tires screech and Razor Ramon’s theme music hits. The aisle is dark, illuminated by gold razor blade spotlights. The Bad Guy leaves the crowd waiting in anticipation for a bit before exiting the curtain with his arms outstretched. He glides down the aisle with the Intercontinental Title around his waist, taunting Crush who looks on in the squared circle. Razor climbs into the ring and the referee holds back his opponent who approaches with a fist raised. Razor wiggles his fingers at him, mocking his fear at Crush’s attempt to intimidate. Razor points his thumbs to his chest then throws his arms out wide as the crowd continues to cheer as sparkling pyrotechnics shoot up from the mat behind him. As the lights come back up Razor removes his vest, gold chains, and the Intercontinental Title to hand to the ringside attendant, the thumping bass of Shawn Michaels’ theme music hits. “Oh, oh, Shaaaaawn!” Shawn Michaels and ‘Big Daddy Cool’ Diesel make their way down to the ring in street clothes as Razor talks to the referee who shrugs in response. “Now what in the world are they doing here?” shouts Vince. “I guess we’re going to have some special guests McMahon!” adds the King delightedly. They make their way around the ring to the announce table where Michaels sits down in an extra chair, throws a headset on and kicks his cowboy boots up on the table. Diesel stands behind him, tightening the fingerless leather glove on his fist, not breaking eye contact with Ramon who stands in the ring, taunting the two men, inviting them into the squared circle. “Shawn Michaels, what are you doing here? You have no business here tonight,” says Vince. “Au contraire, Vin man. ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ and ‘Big Daddy Cool’ have plenty of business here tonight. You heard Razor Ramon’s challenge earlier. We just came to get a closer look at one of our opponents with Survivor Series right around the corner.” SEGMENT RATING: 100 A+ The bell rings as Razor continues to glare back at his two foes at ringside. He re-focuses his attention on the big man from Kona, Hawaii who meets him in the middle of the ring. Razor taunts Crush then tosses his toothpick into his face. Crush is infuriated and Razor ducks underneath a clothesline attempt and nails Crush with some hard rights. In a decent match, Razor Ramon defeated Crush in 15:08 by pinfall with a Razor's Edge following botched interference by Diesel. Comments: Crush and Razor put on a solid, back-and-forth contest. Razor would overcome the brute strength of Crush to rally in this one but a distraction from Mr. Fuji would allow Diesel to put his mark on this contest, though it wasn't in the way he would like. With Crush holding Razor's arms behind his back, The Bad Guy would duck and Crush would take a big punch right to the face. This would give Razor the edge he needed to hit the Razor's Edge and score a pinfall victory. "Razor Ramon picks up another victory here tonight thanks to ill-advised interference from Crush's Survivor Series tag team partner Diesel!" shouts McMahon. "Stay tuned, McMahon! Razor will get what's coming to him soon enough." replies Michaels, who frustratingly drops the headset before exiting to the back with Diesel. Razor has his hand held high in the ring but pulls it away from the referee and taunts Michaels and Diesel getting another pop from the crowd. "Fans we're out of time! Tune in Saturday for WWF Superstars!" exclaims Vince to close out the show. MATCH RATING: 83 B+ MONDAY NIGHT RAW RATING: 88 B+

  7. I’ve checked in with Jake, who is in Smokey Mountain Wrestling but with the drug issues in the WWF locker room currently, a contract to put him on the roster is probably out of the question.
  8. THE HARDY BOYS VS. YOKOZUNA & CRUSH In a terrible match, Yokozuna and Crush defeated The Hardy Boys in 6:46 when Yokozuna defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall with a Bonzai Drop. MATCH RATING: 53 C- FOLLOWING THE MATCH... Yokozuna and Crush continue their assault on the Hardy Boys with Yokozuna delivering another Bonzai Drop to the fallen Matt Hardy. The crowd would erupt as Adam Bomb and Razor Ramon would hit the ring and clear Yokozuna and Crush out of the squared circle in impressive fashion! SEGMENT RATING: 94 A MONDAY NIGHT RAW RECAP Jim Ross and Vince McMahon recap the happenings on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW including Jeff Jarrett smashing a guitar over the head of Mabel, Crush being revealed as Razor Ramon's attacker, and Bret 'Hitman' Hart defeating Irwin R. Schyster in the main event. SEGMENT RATING: 89 A MIKE MARALDO VS. NIKOLAI VOLKOFF In a terrible match, Nikolai Volkoff defeated Mike Maraldo in 5:06 by pinfall with a Russian Sickle. MATCH RATING: 48 D+ LEX LUGER JOINS 'THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL' Shawn Michaels, with Diesel by his side, invites special guest 'The Million Dollar Champion' Lex Luger to The Heartbreak Hotel where Luger issues a warning to Bret 'Hitman' Hart. "Bret, in just three weeks, you and I will go toe to toe and everyone in the WWF universe will finally see that I, Lex Luger, am the deserving champion." SEGMENT RATING: 99 A+ DOINK VS. DUANE GILL In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Doink The Clown defeated Duane Gill in 6:03 by pinfall with a Whoopie Cushion. During the match we also had Dink distract Gill. MATCH RATING: 41 D SURVIVOR SERIES PREVIEW In a backstage segment, Todd Pettengill recaps the latest developments as we get closer to Survivor Series. "Fans, we are just three week's away from the most exciting event of the fall, Survivor Series. Here's what we know. As you heard from Lex Luger, himself, we'll see 'The Million Dollar Champion' challenge Bret 'Hitman' Hart for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Title. In addition, the self-proclaimed 'King of Harts' Owen Hart will look for retribution against the British Bulldog. And in a match that has just been passed along to me, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry 'The King' Lawler, and the Heavenly Bodies, will face off in a Survivor Series match against The Smoking Gunns who will team up with Mabel and Mo, the Men on the Mission who could very well be WWF Tag Team Champions after tonight. Fans, contact your local cable provider and tell them you want to order Survivor Series on pay-per-view! It's shaping up to be a night you don't want to miss!" SEGMENT RATING: 83 B+ TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: MEN ON A MISSION VS. I.R.S. & BAM BAM BIGELOW In a decent match, Irwin R. Schyster and Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Men on a Mission in 15:07 when Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Mo by pinfall. During the match we also had Jeff Jarrett distract Mabel. Irwin R. Schyster and Bam Bam Bigelow make defence number 2 of their WWF World Tag Team Championship titles. MATCH RATING: 76 B- WWF SUPERSTARS RATING: 79 B

  11. <p>Interesting theories on Razor’s attacker. ‘The King’ may have spoilered a 1-2-3 Kid heel turn on the previous episode of RAW. Tune in to find out!</p><p> </p><p> I loved heel Doink. Matt Borne was awesome in that role. The man under the paint in this dynasty is Ray Apollo. I haven’t really thought of a way to utilize face Doink and a heel turn just wouldn’t be the same without Borne. I did entertain bringing Borne back but I was worried his substance abuse issues may affect a locker room that’s already had some worrisome problems in that department.</p>

One outspoken main eventer says that Gunn has little upside because he lacks an ability to connect with the fans.<br /> <br /> <br /></li><li>Look for a new face, <strong>Aldo Montoya</strong>, to debut in the coming weeks. WWF officials have been impressed with the youngster as a developmental talent and have decided to see what he can bring to the table in a more prominent role on the roster. <br /> <br /> <br /></li><li><strong>Monday Night RAW</strong> continued to score well, posting a 3.63 TV rating for this past Monday's show. WWF Superstars remained consistent with a 0.34 rating. The WWF continues to build momentum heading into November's Survivor Series pay-per-view event.<br /></li></ul><p></p>

Ted DiBiase laughs as he counts a wad of cash in his hands as he leads ‘The Million Dollar Champion’ Lex Luger down to the ring. Luger has a cocky grin on his face as he sports the Million Dollar Championship belt around his waist underneath an open black jacket. Gold dollar signs adorn his black trunks as he steps into the ring, then bounces between the ropes before stopping in the middle, pulling off his jacket, and flexing for the fans who jeer the once proud All-American star.</p><p> </p><p> With the lights still dimmed, the aisle lights turn to blue as The Headshrinkers theme hits. Captain Lou Albano leads Fatu down to the ring. Fatu sticks out his tongue to the camera and shouts in Samoan before climbing in the ring. As the lights come back on and the bell rings, he and Luger circle each other before locking up.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>In a decent match, Lex Luger defeated Fatu in 7:36 by pinfall.</strong></p><p> </p><p> <em>Comments: This match got the show off to a strong start.

There’s 32 teeth in an adult mouth and I think it’d be generous of me to say there’s that many in the whole front row!”</p><p> </p><p> The crowd boos loudly.</p><p> </p><p> “I know, I know. Boo all you want but in a few minutes you’re going to be thanking me because I have a gift for you! Please welcome, ‘Double J’ Jeff Jarrett!”</p><p> </p><p> ‘Double J’s’ country waltz hits. The lights are dim and the illuminated rims on Jarrett’s sunglasses flash as he slowly struts his way down to the ring telling the fans in the front row to take a look at greatness. Jarrett climbs in the ring and struts some more then throws his hands in the air as the fans boo more before the lights come on.</p><p> </p><p> Lawler and Jarrett take a moment to fluff each other before Lawler expresses his disapproval of Mabel’s actions last week as the big man smashed Jeff Jarrett’s guitar.</p><p> </p><p> “’Double J’ I want you to know that I believe it was an absolute travesty what happened to your beloved guitar, Gladys. But, I happen to have some Nashville connections myself. I want you to have this.”</p><p> </p><p> Lawler hands the large package to Jarrett who unties the big red ribbon, slides the lid off the box and pulls out a beautiful reproduction of Jarrett’s guitar. Jarrett is taken aback.</p><p> </p><p> “King, I don’t know what to say. It’s absolutely beautiful.”</p><p> </p><p> Jarrett strums the new guitar and thanks ‘The King’.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:10px;"><span style="font-family:'Arial Black';">“It’s nice to know that somebody here in the WWF that appreciates good taste.

Michaels struts down the aisle posing for the fans and the camera, pulling his round shades down to make eye contact as he verbally boasts. Diesel has a smug look on his face as well as he slowly walks behind ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ adjusting the leather glove on his fist.</p><p> </p><p> “Diesel looks ready for a fight, McMahon! Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid are in trouble!”</p><p> </p><p> The flamboyant Michaels climbs into the ring while Diesel steps over the top rope.

The 1-2-3 Kid steps out of the curtain first and jogs down the aisle slapping the hands of the fans while ‘The Bad Guy’ builds the anticipation. Or does he...?</p><p> </p><p> The 1-2-3 Kid hops over the top rope and bounces around in the ring but Razor is still nowhere to be found. The Kid eventually stops and looks on at the entrance with a confused look on his face.</p><p> </p><p> “Fans I’m not sure what’s going on here but I believe there’s some commotion in the back.” Explains Vince.</p><p> </p><p> We’re taken to a camera shot in the back where Razor Ramon is laying on the ground receiving medical attention.

The bells toll as we stare at the darkness until purple lighting illuminates the aisle and fog rolls in from the entrance. The organ music of The Undertaker’s funeral march echoes through the arena as Paul Bearer leads him down the aisle holding the urn high. The Undertaker climbs up the ring steps in his long black cloak and raises his arms as the lights come back on. He climbs in the ring as Bam Bam gets words of encouragement from DiBiase. </p><p> </p><p> The Undertaker glares at his opponent through his long dark hair and removes his hat. He takes a few steps toward DiBiase who dives through the ropes to escape. Before the timekeeper even has a chance to ring the bell, Bam Bam sees a window of opportunity and immediately jolts across the ring and attacks The Undertaker.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, The Undertaker defeated Bam Bam Bigelow in 15:47 by pinfall with a Tombstone.

Ultimately, The Undertaker would turn the tables on the Beast From The East. With The Undertaker in control, DiBiase would hop onto the apron to distract him.

He slides into the ring and dances in a circle causing Michaels to hit the deck and slide out of the ring before Tatanka does his native salute in the middle of the ring. With Tatanka performing his pre-match ritual Michaels slides in the ring behind him and attacks him from behind.

The lights dim and the aisle is illuminated by yellow razor blades as ‘The Bad Guy’ sidesteps out of the curtain with his arms extended. The lights reflect off his gold chains and Intercontinental Title belt as he glides down the aisle with a toothpick in his mouth, telling the fans to “Take a look at The Bad Guy.”</p><p> </p><p> He climbs into the ring and hypes the crowd with his signature pose, pointing his thumbs to his chest before extending his arms out wide as sparkling pyrotechnics shoot up from the ring apron behind him. The ring lights come on and he begins to remove his chains and his belt as he talks to the referee with a puzzled look on his face.</p><p> </p><p> “Fans I apologize for the confusion but apparently there’s been an accident in the back,” says a concerned Vince. </p><p> </p><p> Cameras show Pierre receiving medical attention as he lies on the concrete floor in one of the hallways in the arena.

The 1-2-3 Kid had other plans as he'd sprint down to the ring in a flash, toss the belt to Diesel and then deliver an impressive martial arts kick, kicking the belt right into the face of the challenger, pull Razor's arm on top of Diesel as the referee came too then hit a flying senton on the outside of the ring on Shawn Michaels as the referee counted 1..2..3!</em></p><p> </p><p> "Fans we're out of time!

Jarrett carries an unlikely accessory with him, Men on a Mission's boombox. <strong>"With all do respect, Michaels, I know you like the Sweet Chin Music. But to me there's nothing sweeter than the heart and soul in country music and 'Double J' is flying up the charts."</strong> Jarrett tosses the boombox off the side of the stage where it smashes on the concrete below! <strong>"Mabel, that was the best sound that boombox has ever made. Consider it another smash hit by the greatest wrestler in the WWF, 'Double J' Jeff Jarrett.

World Championship Wrestling has been hot after any WWF star with name recognition that hits the market, but Luger must feel pretty strongly about his status after a very effective heel turn at SummerSlam.<br /> <br /> <br /></li><li>The WWF set a ratings record for <strong>Monday Night RAW</strong> on Monday after earning a 3.68 rating last week. This spells good news for <strong>'Big Daddy Cool' Diesel</strong> as he was featured on the show and it appears the fans are really buying into the big man. Last week's taping of <strong>WWF Superstars</strong> also saw a ratings boost earning a 0.35 rating.<br /> <br /> <br /></li><li><strong>Rick 'The Model' Martel</strong> is struggling to physically keep up with a WWF roster that continues to get younger as his body has been really feeling the affects of a grueling schedule. Look for him to be used less in the coming months.<br /> <br /> <br /></li><li><strong>Paul Bearer</strong> drew the ire of WWF management last week after showing up late to a pre-show media appearance. It's highly unlikely this will develop into anything notable as Bearer's place in the company is extremely secure as The Undertaker's manager.<br /> <br /> <br /></li><li>Former WWF Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion <strong>Jacques Rougeau</strong> has inked a pay-per-appearance deal with Ontario-based Border City Wrestling. The veteran left the WWF as he was no longer interested in full-time work and travel.<br /></li></ul><p></p>
