MONDAY WK 2 JANUARY 1995

 

Vince McMahon: Welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw! I'm Vince McMahon alongside my broadcast colleagues Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

 

Jim Ross: We have a great line up tonight, with a huge main event! Bret Hart will take on Shawn Michaels and the WWF Title will be on the line!

 

Jerry Lawler: Finally the end of Bret Hart's title reign! Shawn is going to walk out of here tonight with more gold!

==============================================

 

The music of Shawn Michaels comes on as he makes his way to the ring.

 

Shawn Michaels: You know it sems to HBK that some people in the back don't think I'm deserving of a title shot tonight. They think I've "jumped" to the head of the queue. Well Jack, I don't care what anyone else says, if I did, I wouldn't be where I am today! Shawn Michaels is the greatest wrestler, entertainer and not to mention the most handsome man in the world today. I am the Intercontinental Champion, which makes me more deserving than anyone else, because I at least am a Champion. Tonight, this magnificent waist will be boasting more gold than that grease monkey Razor Ramons neck, when I become the WWF Champion and fulfill my destiny. And if you don't like it, you can kiss my... actually, kissing any part of me would be more than any of you ugly, fat New Yorkers deserve.

Right I'm opening this to a vote because I can't decide either way myself.

 

I am retiring the womens title and closing the division down because they just can't get a decent rating. Now I need opinions on the following;

 

(a) Introduce a Television title - which would be something for my lower card wrestlers to fight for.

(b) Open up a Junior Division and introduce a Junior Heavyweight title.

© Don't have any more belts in 1995... ask again in 1996!

 

As I've said, my dynasty/diary won't be following real life happenings so which of these do you think I should introduce (will be just after Royal Rumble when a tournament starts for the winning title - if you select one).

I'd say (b), Junior Division wrestlers should put on better matches then normal lower card wrestlers

As much as I dont think we NEED another title, I like the Television/European title idea. While a lower card title would be great for b-shows and provide a few ppl w something to do, I think the Jr./LHW division can do all that, plus provide something fresh and unique, while allowing you to sign good young talent from all over the world. I'm not expecting real life WCW size rosters here, but w Malenko, Hardyz, Jannetty, and Kid; a few top international guys could make that division something special down the line. I also wouldn't mind seeing you add a tag team on both face/hell sides. But good job on nixing the Women's division. Just wasn't viable right now, just like in real life.

Don't want to choose what you should do, but would probably call it the European over TV title. WWF had Junior Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight at points in history, so either works either as a new title or bringing back an old title. My personal thought would be a TV/European title as a stepping stone to the IC and eventually World titles would be more advantageous for building younger guys with main event potential.

Right so 6 months into the game, I figured let's see some "stats" for those who are statistically minded; I may do this every 6 months.

 

Best Show Booked: WWF In Your House (July) 1994 (87 rating)

Best Match: Randy Savage drew with Shawn Michaels in October 1994 (96 rating)

Highest Attendance: 49,008 for Survivor Series 1994

Highest PPV Buy Rate: 2.78 for Summerslam 1994

Highest TV Rating: 6.94 for Raw Wk 1, January 1994

 

Top 10 Matches:

10 - Dustin Rhodes & Shawn Michaels def. Bret Hart & Razor Ramon (B+ 88)

09 - Randy Savage & Lex Luger def. Shawn Michaels & Diesel (B+ 89)

08 - Randy Savage def. Shawn Michaels (B+ 89)

07 - Bret Hart def. Owen Hart (B+ 89)

06 - Bret Hart def. Shawn Michaels (B+ 89)

05 - Bret Hart & British Bulldog def. Dustin Rhodes & Owen Hart (A 90)

04 - Shawn Michaels def. Randy Savage (A 91)

03 - Randy Savage def. Shawn Michaels (Cage Match) (A 92)

02 - Bret Hart def. Shawn Michaels (A 94)

01 - Randy Savage drew with Shawn Michaels (A* 96)

 

The fact Shawn Michaels has been involved in EIGHT of the top 10 matches shows he will eventually go on to become WWF Champion and the focus of this diary/dynasty. Bret Hart & Randy Savage involved in 5 out of 10 each.

MONDAY WK 3 JANUARY 1995

 

Vince McMahon: Welcome everybody to the last Monday Night Raw before the Royal Rumble! I'm Vince McMahon alongside my broadcast colleagues Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

 

Jim Ross: Tonight in our Main Event we will see the Man from the Darkside, The Undertaker take on Shawn Michaels! We will also hear from Randy Savage who would like to address someone.

 

Jerry Lawler: Oh and here comes Bret Hart. He's not even supposed to be here tonight, but here he is to hog the limelight.

 

RATING: 84 (B+)

 

==============================================

 

Bret Hart: 2 weeks ago I stood here in this ring and told each and every one of you that I was here to stay. There is no truth to the rumours that I am going to walk out of here as WWF Champion. Now at the Royal Rumble, I still don't have an opponent! So here's what I am going to do, to anyone in the world of wrestling, whether it is a current WWF wrestler, or not, I invite you to show up at the Royal Rumble and take on the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

 

The music of Shawn Michaels comes on as he makes his way to the ring alongside Alundra Blayze & Luna Vachon

 

Shawn Michaels: I'm not out here for you Hitman so you can relax. Tonight I have the Undertaker in a match. Right before I have to defend my Intercontinental Championship at the Royal Rumble, now that just isn't cool with the Heartbreak Kid. Especially... especially as my opponent at the Rumble, Razor Ramon doesn't have a match tonight - he's not even at the arena! So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to beat the Undertaker tonight, beat Razor Ramon at the Rumble and then I'm going to not only become the greatest looking Intercontinental Champion, but I'm going to become the greatest Intercontinental Champion... period. Oh and Bret now I come to think of it I do have something to give you, kind of in memory of last week...

 

SUPERKICK!

 

Jim Ross: Michaels just superkicked the Champion! What in the hell!?

Raven: Royal Rumble 1995 will see the demise of the Undertaker at my hands. Since coming to the WWF, it has been my mission to prove once and for all that the Undertaker is only a man, like many of you. His tricks and tomfoolery do not hold water with me, and I am going to bury his legacy once and for all. This casket symbolises the Undertakers career... lifeless and hollow. Undertaker in 6 days, you are going to wish you had never crossed swords with me, so take notice, you better start doing all those things you wanted to do in life, because Sunday, your time in the WWF ends.

Randy Savage: Well Alfred. Yeah. It is no secret that me and Shane Douglas don't see eye to eye. He comes out every week and makes comments on how I'm passed my prime, how I should move over and let someone take my place. Yeah. Well Douglas, I'm not passed anything! At the Royal Rumble, I am going to prove that by winning the 30 man Rumble and going on to headline Wrestlemania XI! And if you stand in my way, I will take you out like yesterdays garbage.

Jim Ross: What the? Did you know about this Vince?

 

Vince McMahon: I'm as shocked as you JR! Jerry Lawler has accepted the open challenge by Bret Hart!

been following this for a while now anyway lets give this a try see if I can get anything right Xp

 

Bart Gunn vs. Rick Martel

 

Fresh of a tag team championship victory expect him to keep the moment going against Rick Martell.

 

Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin

 

50/50 but for the moment I think Owen Hart will edge this one.

 

The Undertaker vs. The Barbarian

 

Undertaker beat raven last night expect him to keep things going tonight with a win over the Barbarian.

 

British Bulldog vs. Yokozuna

 

Yokozuna is a nice upper midcard heel that dosnt need many wins. He could lose this week against the bulldog then challenge Bret Hart and still be seemed like he could win the championship. For that reason I'm going to go with Bulldog going over clean. Need the win more than Yokozuna if he is to move up the card.

 

Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels

 

Shawn Michaels is in no doubt the future of this diary but Bret Hart is the current champion now with Dustin Rhodes win at the Royal Rumble I expect they will fude up until Wrestlemaina. Bret Hart as champion will need to stay strong so Michaels losing seem the best choice. The lose wont hurt Shawn as much as it would hurt Bret as the moment.

MONDAY WK 4 JANUARY 1995

 

Vince McMahon: Welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw. Hot on the heels of a tremendous Royal Rumble! I'm Vince McMahon alongside my broadcast colleagues Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler.

 

Jim Ross: Last night we witnessed history Vince. The King lost a World Title match! It was truly a spectacular event.

 

Jerry Lawler: HEY! You watch yourself JR or I'll punch your Oklahoma teeth into the back of your red neck!

 

Vince McMahon Ok you two keep it civil. Wait... here comes "The Bad Guy"!

 

RATING: 88 (B+)

 

==============================================

 

Razor Ramon: Hey yo. Listen up, cos I got something I need to get off my chest. Last night at the Royal Rumble, I lost to the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, meaning I don't get another shot at the Intercontinental title for as long as he is holding it. Well man, that aint gonna be for too much longer. But last night was a double blow for The Bad Guy, as I came so close to winning the Royal Rumble, but again I let not only myself down, but each of the fans who showed faith in me and all my friends and family...

 

[The music of 1-2-3 Kid comes on as he makes his way down]

 

1-2-3 Kid: Razor, Razor. You didn't let me down bro. You put up one hell of a fight - and don't forget you pulled double duty too so that in itself deserves... absolutely nothing. I meant it when I said you didn't let me down, but you sure as hell embarrassed me! I've been playing second fiddle to you since coming here, as Razors "little" friend and I'm sick of it. You Razor are a loser - and I do not associate with losers!

 

[Razor has heard enough and kicks Kid to the stomach before hitting him with the Razors Edge! The crowd go nuts as the Kid lays motionless in the ring]

 

Jim Ross: I can't believe what I just heard from that ungrateful little runt the 1-2-3 Kid! Razor Ramon stood by him. It's disgusting.

 

Jerry lawler: No what's disgusting is that Razor just hit his own friend with a Razors Edge after the Kid tried to motivate him.

 

Jim Ross: Are you for real King?

==============================================

 

Vince McMahon: Lets go backstage to our colleague Lord Alfred Hayes who is there with Lex Luger

 

Alfred Hayes: Thank you Vince. Lex I have to ask...

 

Lex Luger: Lord Alfred, I know what you are going to ask, what is it that Jeff Jarrett has against me? Well is it not obvious? Jeff Jarretts sudden attacks on me can be put down to one thing, jealousy. He's jealous of Lex Luger, he's jealous of what I have achieved and he is jealous because he is a no talent, wannabe musician who isn't even mediocre at anything he does. He's a terrible singer, a worse wrestler (if that's possible) and a disgrace as a human being. Now Jarrett you can continue this crusade against me if you so wish, but let me make one thing perfectly clear to you. I am "Made in the USA" Lex Luger, and I am everything this country values, and everything this country stands for. You go against Lex Luger, and you're going against America. Which brings me onto Camp Cornette, you had better not think I've finished with you yet either. One by one, every single one of you are going to fall.

Jim Ross: What is going on tonight? First 1-2-3 Kid turns on Razor Ramon and now Barry Windham has turned on Lex Luger!

[The music of Mr. Perfect comes on as he makes his return to the WWF!]

 

Mr Perfect: Shawn. I'm not going to allow that to happen. You see last night the board of directors sent Mr Jack Tunney on "gardening" leave, and appointed me the temporary top dog here in the World Wrestling Federation! What that means for you is this, Dustin Rhodes has a match tonight, in fact as you're aware, he's involved in the main event. You Shawn have the night off and so I'd like you to leave the arena because I have omething I need to say.

 

Shawn Michaels: I'm going nowhere! I've got an issue I...

 

Mr Perfect: MICHAELS! I wasn't asking. You have 30 seconds before I strip you of that Intercontinental title you care so much for! [Michaels Leaves - but he is angry!] Right, now that's taken care of I'd like to welcome you all here this evening for what is going to be the first of many, Perfect Raws! I'm here to bring around change, I'm here because Mr Tunney had lost the asylum to the inmates. I know what you're thinking...

Now "Franchise" you have been coming out here telling me I'm past my best, and telling me to retire, telling me you're the future. It may have escaped your notice, but I beat you a couple of months ago - and I'll beat you again if you keep getting in my face. You show no respect to anyone in the back, walking around like you're the big dog, well I've got news for you... you're nothing more than a puppy compared to everyone else in that locker room!

Bret Hart: Dustin Rhodes - you finally step back in the ring with the "Excellence of Execution" and this time, it'll be face to face! Last week you put your nose into some unfinished business and that just ticked me off. I am going to make sure that tonight, you won't be interfering in matters that don't concern you for good!

 

Steve Austin: Well look at this, "Stone Cold" standing next to the WWF Champion. Now Bret, I don't like you, and I don't trust ya so if you get in my way in this match, you'll be going down the same road as your brother. Talking of you Owen, you yellow coward, you may have beaten me last week, but you needed the ropes to do it. This week I won't make the same mistake. I'm going to kick your ass all over the damn arena, and theres but two things you can do about it... like it and deal with it! Now that's the bottom line 'cos Stone Cold says so!

I am slowly losing interest in this, so chances are I will continue it to Wrestlemania, but after that if I still haven't gained any interest it will end there. I just really have no desire for it any more as there are things I've done that I wish I'd done differently and feel overall this is mediocre at best. The Triple Threat bombed, My tag division is a complete mess, the Junior division already looks set to end up like the womens division aaaand Lex Luger is slowly getting worse the more angles/matches I put him in - no IC Title run for him now. Which is another stumbling block, who the hell to put michaels in with (Tatanka? Steve Austin? Doink? Aldo Montoya? Who knows or even cares). Overall the standards of some of my ideas are slipping and due to not enjoying it I've become lazy (I could probably get a job on the real creative department). I knew where I wanted this to go, however I've focussed too much on the rubbish feuds that the main event one is generic and - to be completely honest, is boring the hell out of me, a real lost cause. Like I say, if by Wrestlemania I come up with a great storyline, or find that I've pulled the diary out of it's mediocre decline I will continue past that event.

Sorry to hear that bruh, but I can relate. You gotta do what makes you happy. I appreciate that you're at least trying to get to WM. I can tell in your writing that you're not as into it. But you gotta do what feels right. No point in wasting time with mediocrity. Good luck,hope u can turn it around. If not-I'll keep an eye out for something new. Cheers

Show Introduction

 

Vince McMahon: Welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw! As you can see we're filled to the rafters here, with a brand new set and brand new logo! We have an action packed Raw for you tonight with the Intercontinental AND the Tag Team Titles both on the line!

 

Jim Ross: That's right Vince. New interim president, Mr. Perfect really putting his mark on things tonight as Shawn Michaels will defend his title against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin!

 

Jerry Lawler: Oh but how about this McMahon... The Smoking Gunns will defend their titles against Barry Windham & Jeff Jarrett! I think I can hear those titles change hands already!

 

Vince McMahon: Wait here comes Bret Hart!

 

Bret Hart/Dustin Rhodes Segment

 

Bret Hart: You know I'm not out here to bad mouth anyone, I'm not out here to throw accusations and threats around. I'm out here to call Dustin Rhodes out! I'm not going to wait until Wrestlemania Rhodes so get out here so we can finish this once and for all! Come on Rhodes, where are you? You say you can beat me, well come down here and prove it. Man to man! [Hart waits... no Rhodes] Well I guess if you're not going to... [Rhodes appears on the Titan tron]

 

Dustin Rhodes: Hey Hitman. Bet you're wondering where I am huh? Well... I'm in Calgary! Now that house looks familiar. Why if I'm not mistaken that looks a lot like the Hart residence! Shall we go and see if Papa Stu and Mama Helen are home?

 

Bret Hart: RHODES! You stay away from my family!

 

Dustin Rhodes: Bret, you don't seem to be taking me very seriously so I'm afraid I'm going to have to show you just what it is I am capable of doing! Just remember Hart, what happens here is on your head. Your nightmare to Wrestlemania, is about ready to begin! [Rhodes knocks on the door... but shuts the camera off. Bret Hart rolls out of the ring and runs to the back]

Walking around claiming to be the Franchise of the company and I want to put the record straight and show everyone once again that he is just a punk! Oooh Yeah!

 

Mr. Perfect: I tell you what Savage. In Your House, you got your match! BUT, you cannot lay a finger on Douglas until then. The same goes for him, if he so much as brushes up against you, he'll be out of the WWF quicker than a Hulk Hogan movie to the bargain bin after release!

Dustin Rhodes Video

 

Dustin is sat in the Harts house with a terrified Helen Hart and 2 of her grandchildren. He tells her what he is going to do to her "baby boy". He see's how scared she is and begins laughing. Rhodes then says she should fear him, because an American Nightmare has just entered Canada - just then Bruce Hart walks through the door and demands to know what the hell Rhodes is doing in the house. Rhodes apologises and looks to back away but as Bruce turns to his mother, Rhodes blindsides him and beats him up, all the while screaming in his face.

Lex Luger/British Bulldog Segment

 

Lex Luger: Next Sunday at In Your House, we have Windham & Jarrett. Now I know what you're thinking boys, can you beat us? Can you beat the Allied Powers of the "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith and "Made in the USA" Lex Luger. Aimple answer is... no. You see boys, you need to resort to cowardly tactics such as attacking me when my back is turned, or pretending to be my friend, all the while plotting to stab me in the back. You too are nothing more than a couple of cowards. So take notice Jarrett, Windham. There are 13 days until we beat your asses in this ring, 13 days until I break your spine in the torture rack, 13 days until Davey breaks the rest of you with his Running Powerslam.

 

British Bulldog: One more thing, enjoy what's left of your careers.

Shawn Michaels/Steve Austin Aftermath

 

Shawn Michaels: Mr. Perfect, you tried to catch me off guard by placing me in this match, but I beat your man! The Heartbreak Kid is to damn good at what he does to let some trashy redneck get his hands on my belt. If this is the best you can do... [Austin turns Michaels around and hits a Stunner on him! Austin picks the mic up]

 

Steve Austin: Your mouth keeps writing cheques your ass can't cash! You stupid sonofabitch - don't ever turn your back on Stone Cold because I will whip your ass until the sun goes down! As for that title, it will be around my waist so you better not get too attached son. That's the bottom line, 'cos Stone Cold says so!
