On a downturn after the Hulkamania Boom and Ted Turner and WCW becoming a legitimate challenger for the #1 Company - The WWF Moved into the New Generation lacking in star power and the state of the industry bad; here's the roster.

Main Event:

Bret Hart - The World Heavyweight Champion and leader of the New Generation

Lex Luger - On the comedown from his failed year at trying to capture the Title

The Undertaker - Ascended after defeat at the Rumble - Set for his big comeback at Summerslam

Randy Savage - Being pushed out of active competition but still the biggest star on the roster and one of the few holdovers from the Hulkamania Era.

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

Tatanka - The former undefeated Native American - Never really did anything with his big push and now floating around - Has simmering tension with Lex Luger and the Million Dollar Corp.

Yokozuna - His lengthy title reign was ended at Wrestlemania X - but has done little since - teamed with Crush at the King of the Ring - in an attempt to win the tag belts - shows how far he has slipped.

Owen Hart - Has caught fire defeating brother Bret at Mania, Winning the King of the Ring, and is set for a chance of the Title at SummerSlam

Jerry Lawler - The ageing Lawler was chosen to headline the first PPV of the New Generation against fellow 80's Star Roddy Piper - In a quest for Star Power.

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.

Jim Neidhart - Past his best - but his two super talented Brother-in-Laws are feuding - Main Event Payday!

Upper Midcard:

Bob Backlund, Typhoon, 123 Kid, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Billy Gunn, Bart Gunn, Koko B Ware, Mo

Crush, Irwin R Schyster, Rick Martel, Nikolai Volkoff, The Barbarian

-An eclectic bunch of mostly past it performers, Crush and 123 Kid pehaps the only two worth a push.

Midcard:

Mabel, Fatu, Samu, Jacques, Adam Bomb, Thurman Sparky Plugg, Doink, Duke Droese, Bushwhacker Luke, Bushwhacker Butch, Virgil

Pierre, Kwang, The Underfaker, Jimmy Del Ray, Tom Pritchard, Johnny Polo, Bastion Booger, Timothy Well, Steven Dunn, The Black Phantom

- A few younger guys could be useful to build going forward - Mabel, The Headshrinkers, Pierre, and Adam Bomb. And who doesn't love the Heavenly Bodies?

Lower Midcard, Openers and Enhancement Talent;

Barry Horrowitz, Aldo Montoya, Jim Powers, Mike Maraldo, Rich Myers, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Scott Taylor

Feuds:

Bret v Owen:

http://i.imgur.com/AiVNvXW.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OUkE8El.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/oSQmn7K.jpg

Owen Hart tired off living in his brother, Bret's shadow, turned and attacked his brother at the 1994 Royal Rumble, before then defeating Bret and Wrestlemania X. 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.

Champions;

WWF Heavyweight Championship / WWF Intercontinental Championship / WWF Tag Team Championship / WWF Women's Championship

This was I though Neidhart and 123 Kid were both by far the weakest wrestlers in there matches. The Tag and women's matches were both just making up the numbers - really need to find solutions to these divisions. 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. Piper returns for the star power to try and turn the national battle tide - he continues his bad feud with Lawler from KOTR. <div style="text-align:center;">Champions; WWF Heavyweight Championship / WWF Intercontinental Championship / WWF Tag Team Championship / WWF Women's Championship http://i.imgur.com/EitODU7.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/izdV63O.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GQBT2JT.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sUo9fzm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AiVNvXW.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GlCkvyb.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/naJARLx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/pDoNcgr.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sjXeZhu.jpg Bret Hart / Diesel / The Headhsrinkers (Fatu & Samu) / Alundra Blayze </div> WWF Heavyweight Champion: Bret Hart (Second Reign - Won Wrestlmania X - 20/3/94) WWF Intercontinental Champion: Diesel (First Reign - Won Superstars - 13/4/94) WWF Tag Team Champions : The Headshrinkers (First Reign - Won RAW 26/4/94) WWF Women's Champions: Alundra Blayze (First Reign - Won 13/12/93) No Title Changes at the PPV.

Wrestling Observer News

WWF Officials are said to be happy with the inaugural In Your House PPV - and are set to continue the build to Bret v Owen and Razor v Diesel as two biggest feuds for the upcoming month leading into SummerSlam

Vince McMahon was said to have personally changed the Lex Luger angle - reports are he feels a heel turn is the last roll of the dice on his main event run. - If all goes well he's likely to be the number one heel in the company this autumn / winter.

Randy Savage's surprise appearance in the main event this weekend is no one off. He's set to return to wrestling full time. Savage has constantly lobbied to get back in the ring - and it's said McMahon has conceded - in part due to Hulk Hogan debuting at WCW.

A number of offers have went out to tag teams to revitalize the division. I've been told a returning team and a debuting team have agreed terms - and are finishing dates abroad. As well as Vince likely to pair up existing members of the roster.

Although one man who won't be joining WWF is Ron Simmons - he's agreed an extension at WCW. It's thought neither WWF or WCW have any real plans for him- but both sides wanted to show they were number one and threw generous pay packages at him. Simmons was said to be unimpressed with the WWF plans for him - An apparent 'gladiator gimmick' or a potential tag team return of Doom with Butch Reed.

WWF are however more confident of signing Cactus Jack - who is very unhappy with WCW and the British Bulldog who is expected to make his return shortly.

http://i.imgur.com/EEhylrh.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/j6GvL7B.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/yBs5aaH.jpg

Will Cactus Jack, The British Bulldog and Ron Simmons join the WWF?

Arriba Arriving

WCW have also made some new signings - with Tito Santana, Tony Atlas and Barry Darsow (Demolition Smash) joining the company - with WCW evidently not following the WWF's lead in pushing the 'New Generation'. - Wrestler Konnan has also joined WCW

Bash at the Beach was a big success for the company; - full results

WCW Worlh Heavyweight Championship Ric Flair © Def. Ricky Steamboat
Vader Def The Guardian Angel
Steve Austin Def. Brian Armstrong by countout
WCW Television Championship Lord Steven Regal © Def. Brian Pillman
Bobby Eaton Def. Alex Wright
Steve Keirn Def. Brad Armstrong
Tex Slazenger Def. Big Bad John
Joey Maggs Def. Rip Rogers
Sgt Craig Pittman Def. Terry Taylor
Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan Def. Pretty Wonderful by countout to retain the WCW Tag Team Championship

The show has been well received (89) beating out the WWF's In Your House in our straw poll. - although definitely a top heavy card with only Flair / Steamboat (96) and Vader / Angel (79) being must see matches.

The big talking point will however be the confrontation between Hogan and Sting. With Hogan seemingly playing the heel in this feud. It certainly is a bold and brave move for WCW to use their top star in this way.

July Recap / Month in Review

Here I will track changes in feuds over the months, as well as new signings, departures, and changes in Prestige and National Battles.

Championship Prestige;

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/EitODU7.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/izdV63O.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GQBT2JT.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sUo9fzm.jpg

WWF World Heavyweight 95 / Intercontinental 79 / WWF Tag Team 55 / WWF Womens 20</div>

National Battle

<div style="text-align:center;">WCW 3891 / Hulk Hogan (940) / Ric Flair (861) / Sting (775) / Vader (694) / Steve Austin (621)

WWF 3799 / Randy Savage (838) / Bret Hart (764) / Roddy Piper (752) / The Undertaker (725) / Shawn Michaels (720)</div>

In second place - but its close - hopefully the return of the Undertaker and strong booking of Shawn Michaels could see the gap close.

Feuds

Bret v Owen (+ Neidhart) 93 - The main feud - and will continue to be heading into SummerSlam

Razor v Diesel & HBK 74 - Also continuing on into SummerSlam - I don't think Razor, Diesel or HBK are ready to challenge for the WWF title - but I think either of these three can carry the IC and add prestige to the belt

Piper v Lawler 73 - The only new feud I've started - and a continuation of their woeful 94 feud - will likely be a one shot match at SummerSlam

Luger (w. Ted DiBiase) v Tatanka 70 - Luger's heel turn and joining with DiBiase will hopefully get this feud hotter.

Underetakers 73 - Now we're getting close to SummerSlam - The Undertaker can return on screen and start to feud properly with Brian Lee's Undertaker.

Adam Bomb v Kwang (w. Harvey Whippleman) 48 - On the backburner - will face off at SummerSlam - probably on the free-for-all preshow

Jacques v Pierre (w.Johnny Polo) 48 - Also on the backburner - and will faceoff at SummerSlam.

Roster changes:

Roddy Piper joined

Angle - Alundra Blayze (63) - She retained he title at IYH - and issues an open challenge for any women out there. Crush Def Duke Droese (49) - Another basic squash as the Dumster got little offence in Video Owen Hart+ Bret Hart (79) - A video package highlighting the feud building over the previous nine months - set to come to a boiling point at SummerSlam. Angle King's Court w Ted DiBiase and Lex Luger (78) - A massive shake up as Lex Luger enters not in his usual America themed attire, but instead in a full suit. Fresh from his heel turn and alignment with the Million Dollar Man last night. He tells Jerry Lawler that for the past year, he's been trying to be an American Hero, but Ted DiBiase has reminded him what being American is really about; Money. He insults the fans calling them losers and that he's sick of paying for there welfare. Lex goes on to insult Tatanka saying the guy has a loser mentality, and has been holding Lex down, but not any more. Lex Luger, only cares about Lex Luger and that's the bottom line. Randy Savage Def Abe Schwartz (70) - Back to the wrestling with another quick squash as Savage starts his full time comeback with an easy win. Hype Diesel (78) - And a shot video showing how big and string the Intercontinental Champion is.</div></blockquote> Overall a story bases Raw - with Lex and the King's Court taking up a large portion of the air time. The actual wrestling was really just squash matches. I think Lex works better as a heel and just didn't connect with the WWF audiences - so a heel turn makes sense here in my opinion. Opens up potentially decent feuds with Bret, Savage and Taker as well.

The 'Real American' Lex Luger who only cares about himself and the money and not about the WWF fans? Vince McMahon's attempt at art imitating life. A few releases this week at the WWF. The Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) and Koko B. Ware who have went to Smoky Mountain Wrestling. WWF officials are keen to reduce roster numbers and feel that all three men are past their best and don't connect with WWF audiences. Double Trouble the tag team who formerly wrestled on the indies as 'The Undertakers' have also been released. - Vince McMahon negotiated usage of The Undertaker name in exchange for short contracts that have now expired. There has been a few signings as well with three new non-wrestling females signed. Trisa Hayes who formally dated WCW Superstar Brian Pillman, and was a valet in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary. Tammy Sytch who has been a valet in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and most interestingly of all Terri Runnels aka formally Alexandra York in WCW and the current wife of Dustin Rhodes who is still under contract at WCW. A sure hint that the Son of Dusty Rhodes is looking to jump ship to WWF as soon as his contract is up. WWF source has confirmed neither of these females are expected to wrestle - and the WWF is still looking for female competitors to revitalise the Womens division Finally Al Snow has also agreed a written contract at the WWF - he has previous worked as an enhancement talent but is expected to re-debut as a featured competitor <div style="text-align:center;">Incoming; Al Snow, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Trisa Hayes and Terri Runnels http://i.imgur.com/4HQbHnd.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/9TQ1MMU.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/u90uSXM.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/dsBO7eE.jpg</div> </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42660" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/7UgGnAn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5MiYgT0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MaBF5OC.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/bAm9gXI.jpg</div> Meanwhile Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) have won the vacant WCW Tag Team Championship - defeating Shanghai Pearce and Tex Slazenger on an edition of WCW Saturday Night.

SUMMERSLAM

</div>

Jim Ross and Vince McMahon welcome us to SummerSlam - and run down the card - during this Well Dunn make there way down to the ring.

Steven Dunn and Timothy Well grab a mic each and start complaining about how they've been left of the biggest event of the Summer, insisting that they're the greatest tag team in the World - when;

The Natural Disasters' music hits and Earthquake and Typhoon make their return to the World Wrestling Federation - They challenge Well Done to the match - and immediately start brawling. Earthquake finished off Steven Dunn with the splash. (60)

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/dydz795.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jplCHIe.jpg

The Natural Disasters have returned</div>

Jacques and Pierre with (Johnny Polo) come down to the ring for the next match - the Quebecers have been feuding mostly on Superstars for the past couple of months. - The match has ends when an attempted double team from Polo and Pierre goes wrong - and Jacques picks up the win. (65) - Afterwards Jacques thanks the crowd.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/uaWDFQ0.jpg

Jacques bids farewell</div>

Next in is Adam Bomb and Kwang - another 'superstars feud' - the match went on for around six minutes before Adam Bomb hit the Atom Smasher to win the feud. Harvey Whippleman and Kwang get in an argument after the match when Whippleman slaps Kwang for losing the match, Kwang shoves Whippleman and walks off.

Tatanka is out next and aiming to takedown Lex Luger for joining the Million Dollar Corporation, - Lex Luger however has other ideas. During the match Ted DiBiase trips Tatanka up whilst he runs the ropes, he turns around into the Million Dollar Forearm Smash. And Lex picks up his second consecutive PPV win over Tatanka. (72)

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/TDg9jQ1.jpg

A big win for Lex</div>

'JR' Jim Ross - has made his way into the ring to introduce the next Tag Team Champions of the World - Steve Williams and Terry Gordy - 'The Miracle Violence Connection - (60)

The Headshrinkers follow them down to the ring and a wild brawl ensues - although a traditional tag match - the brawling spills out to ringside - for several minutes until Steve Williams hits the Oklahoma Stampede on Samu, for the win and the WWF Tag Team Championship - NEW WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS - THE MIRACLE VIOLENCE CONNECTION

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/uHF1yfJ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ROkUsEx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/x1kFg9Y.jpg</div>

Next we have a video recap of the Jerry Lawler and Roddy Piper feud (72)

The match is a much better one than the Main Event of the King of the Ring - although it has the same outcome as Roddy Piper puts away Lawler with the Sleep Hold (80)

Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji accompany the Japanese duo - Yokozuna and Bull Nakano down to the ring - Pomp and Circumstance then hits and Alundra Blayze and the 'Macho Man' Randy Savage come out to a huge pop both dressed in American flag attire. After an entertaining match - Savage and Yokozuna brawl up the aisle and Blayze puts away Nakano with a German Suplex. (80)

Recap of the Razor Ramon, Diesel and Shawn Michaels feud (80)

Razor Ramon enters first before the Intercontinental Champion Diesel and Shawn Michaels - Shawn Michaels is ejected half way through the match for attempting to interfere - After 15 minutes the referee is however knocked down by a stray Diesel elbow, Shawn Michaels then returns and helps with a two on one bear down of Razor Ramon. This however backfires when HBK mistakenly Sweet Chin Music's Diesel, and Razor makes the cover while the referee recovers to count the pinfall (79) - NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION - RAZOR RAMON

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/KEW1sb0.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/8sS5Mig.jpg

Razor's a two time Intercontinental Champion</div>

Ted DiBiase and His Undertaker - make there way down to the ring, before the Arena goes dark, a gong sounds and Paul Bearer and his Undertaker arrive at the top of the ramp, The Undertaker says that after tonight the imposter will rest. in. peace. (76)

Paul Bearer's Undertaker wins in convincing fashion ending the feud. (74)

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/XKYx2yt.jpg

The Undertaker has returned and vanquished the imposter</div>

A short recap of the Hart Family Feud - Where Owen kicked YouBret's leg from out under his leg and the WrestleMania X match.

Owen Hart is accompanied by his Brother-in-Law Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart, where as Bret Hart is accompanied by the British Bulldog. - A fantastic technical match between the brothers, The Bulldog and Neidhart brawl to the back mid way through the match. - Bret however retains after reversing Owen's Sharpshooter before locking in one of his own.

RockyII · November 9, 2016

Wrestling Observer News

August Week 4

Both SummerSlam and Clash of the Champions were this week, both were good, SummerSlam was better as you'd expect being a PPV rather a TV Special.

SummerSlam was very good in fact, possibly even better than WrestleMania X.

Results were pretty much as expected with Bret Hart retaining in an excellent match which will probably end the feud with his brother Owen.

Razor Ramon regained the Intercontinental Championship from Diesel - Unclear if this feud will continue or perhaps Diesel or Michaels may feud with Bret for the WWF Championship.

Miracle Violence Connection also won the Tag belts - they've been pushed extremely strongly since joining the WWF. The Natural Disasters made a surprise return and are likely to feud with Jim Ross' Hosses. It's though management were never high on the Headshrinkers and were scrambling for a tag team to carry the division, after the Steiners and Jacques Rougeau quit the company.

Randy Savage and the Undertaker also made successful in-ring comebacks boosting the star power and name value at the top of the card - which will be vital for the WWF to compete with WCW.

Although spare a though for Yokozuna - Champion at the start of the year, tagging with Crush at King of the Ring and now being jobbed out to the Macho Man on his return. His main event career looks dead in the water.

WCW 3891 (3908) +17 / Hulk Hogan 940 (939) -1 / Ric Flair 862 (861) +1 / Sting 780 (775) +5 / Vader 700 (694) +6 / Steve Austin 627 (621) +6

WWF 3799 - 3837 (+38)

Randy Savage (838) - 844 (+6)

Bret Hart (764) - 769 (+5)

Roddy Piper (752) - 759 (+7)

The Undertaker (725) - 744 (+19)

Shawn Michaels (720) - 721 (+1)

Still second in the National Battle but closing the gap at least. - THe return of the Undertaker has boosted this considerably.

Feuds

Bret (+ Davey) v Owen (+ Neidhart) 93 - 89 - A slight drop in momentum but still good numbers

Razor v Diesel & HBK 74 - 81 - A good match at SummerSlam has boosted this feud

Piper v Lawler 73 - 80 - Likewise this one was boosted by a good match at SummerSlam - Piper's return a success so far.

Luger (w. Ted DiBiase) v Tatanka 70 - 75 - Feud getting hotter as I hope Luger will break through and get over as a genuine main eventer.

Battle of the Underetakers 73 - 78 (OVER) - Pleased this feud is over and The Undertaker can get into juicier feuds.

Adam Bomb v Kwang (w. Harvey Whippleman) 48 - 50 (OVER) - Another feud I'm pleased is over

Jacques v Pierre (w.Johnny Polo) 48 - 62 (OVER) - Goodbye Jacques - one of my irl faves. - I'm also a huge fan of Pierre and Polo and will be looking to book both well in the future.

Japan vs USA NEW FEUD 80 - Randy Savage and Alundra Blayze taking on Yokozuna and Bull Nakano - Inserting two stars into the feud in an attempt to get the two women over. Thankfully everything Savage touches turns to gold.

Tag NEW FEUD - 62 - The Miracle Violence Connection wins the belts - no one really cares but its better than the Headshrinkers - Hopefully Natural Disasters will make good challengers.

But now he needs to focus on his match against Shawn Michaels (77) Shawn Michaels (w. Diesel) arrives to take on Bret Hart in a non-title match. A fantastic technical match which ended in a disqualification when Diesel attacked Bret Hart, when he attempted to lock in the Sharpshooter. (86) After the bell the beat down continues, with Davey Boy Smith coming to the aid of his brother in law, however Owen Hart then comes down to brawl with Bret and Davey, before finally Razor Ramon enters the ring.

This means McMahon has now formally ended his WWF's working relationships with SMW (Smoky Mountain Wrestling) and USWA (United States Wrestling Association). Although Jerry Lawler and Jim Cornette will still be allowed some leeway to manage the territories all other talent will be expected to be fully committed to McMahon and the WWF. This has seen several talent sign new exclusive contracts with the WWF including Well Dunn, The Heavenly Bodies, the Fake Undertaker and Harvey Whippleman. In addition to this Typhoon, Barry Horrowitz, and Typhoon have all signed extensions to there deal with the Federation. While surprisingly 'Dangerous' Dan Spivey is thought to have been offered a contract at the WWF. It's surprising that the 41 is being brought in as part of the 'New Generation'. Maybe Spivey and the Fake Undertaker can form the 'New Skyscrapers'? </div></blockquote>

RAW 81 - September Week 2

Opening the show Crush Defeats Barry Horrowitz in a basic squash match (57)

We then cut to the back where Alundra Blayze is telling Randy Savage about how she can't wait to get her hands on Bull Nakano in a one on one match. Savage says that's not a bad idea and he wants Yokozuna in a one on one match as well. Yokozuna and Bull Nakano then enter the area with Mr Fuji who accepts the challenge. BONZAI! (68)

After commercial Irwin R Schyster is making his way down to the ring and calling the people of Alabama tax cheats. He then gets in the ring to take on Al Snow. After around 7 minutes of a meandering match with IRS on offence, the arena lights go dark, and the Undertaker attacks the taxman (who is awarded the match by DQ) (63)

The Undertaker then insists that what is the eternal flame of light can not be extinguished, but IRS must reap what he has sowed. (100)

The Undertaker wants revenge on IRS?

Jim Ross and Vince McMahon speculate on what this may mean, with McMahon insisting that the Undertaker has vowed revenge on IRS for attacking him during the casket match at the Royal Rumble!

And finally in a terrific main event Razor Ramon and Bret Hart teamed up in a double disqualification match with Diesel and Shawn Michaels (84). It was evident that all four men were more preoccupied with hurting there rivals than with winning this tag match. The referee threw the match out when it descended into an outside the ring brawl and the referee had no hope of regaining control of the match - RAW closes with all four men still brawling.

Superstars 58
Al Snow Drew with the Black Phantom (54)
Backstage argument between Bull Nakano and Alundra Blayze (59)
Headshrinkers Def. Well Dunn (55)
Thurman Sparky Pluff Def. George South (43)

(88) After that to cool down the crowd - Thurman Sparky Plugg defeated Steven Dunn in basic match. (53) Vince McMahon and Jim Ross spent the match talking about the Undertaker and whether he will have his revenge. McMahon thinks justice will be served, where as Ross thinks the tax man will pick up the 123. A video package next of Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano - hyping the Womens Title Match that will take place at In Your House. (60) Next up is Vince McMahon in the ring - Vince invites Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Razor Ramon, Owen Hart, Shawn Michaels and Diesel to the ring. Highlights are shown of the previous weeks brawls. Vince McMahon informs them that the WWF Board have found the recent actions of all 6 men unacceptable, and that is why the Board have commissioned a six man tag team match, where Bret Hart, Razor Ramon and Davey Boy Smith will take on Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Owen Hart this Saturday at In Your House.

Cornette insults America and says Yokozuna will destroy Savage at In Your House. - But first he will destroy Tatanka. (93) In a really box office main event for Monday Night Raw Yokozuna picked up the win over Tatanka and gains some momentum heading into the PPV. Tatanka certainly got in some offence, but Yokozuna was on offence for most of the match (73).</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42660" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Superstars (56) Lex Luger defeated Virgil (66) - after the match Luger cuts a promo insulting the fans and praising the dollar. - Therman Sparky Plugg - comes out and says he used to respect Lex and he wants a match at the PPV (65) Headshrinkers Def The Executioners (47) Abe Schwartz Def Matt Hardy (24)</div></blockquote>

WWF official are still said to be confused at how to book the 'B' - PPV's. They don't want to give away too many big matches, but are committed to getting the In Your House brand off to a good start. The card looks like this; <div style="text-align:center;">Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith & Razor Ramon vs Diesel, Shawn Michaels & Owen Hart WWF Women' Championship Alundra Blayze © vs Bull Nakano Yokozuna vs Randy Savage Lex Luger vs Thurman Sparky Plugg Undertaker vs Irwin R.

WWF are competing with WCW who will air Fall Brawl the following night with Ric Flair defending the WCW Heavyweight Title against Tito Santana.</div></blockquote>
