/></p><p> </p><p> We are just six nights away from the hottest event of the summer......we are just six nights away from a landscape changing event.....we are just six nights away.....from Summerslam....and TONIGHT, we're opening the show to a cacophony of boos......because The Hart Foundation are making their way down to the ring, along with their regular running mates Chris Jericho, and the bodyguard Test.....and Bret Hart does not look happy.....in fact to quote Jim Ross, he looks even more of a sourpuss than usual.....</p><p> </p><p> ....the four men soak up the boo's, with Jericho seemingly oblivious to them as he jumps up and down posing for his less than adoring public, before the Hitman takes a microphone, telling everyone to sit down and shut up if they want to hear what he has to say......obviously they don't....because the jeers come even louder, coupled with a loud USA chant that makes Bret scowl even harder, before he finally just decides to talk over them.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>"......you know, I've never been much of a braggart.....and I'm certainly not not to say I told you so......but for months now I've been telling you morons that EVERYONE in the World Wrestling Federation is out to screw me over, ESPECIALLY all your little heroes......the Kevin Nash's, the Scott Hall's.....the Scott Steiner's......but the worst of the bunch.....the biggest lowlife here in the WWF, is Stone Cold Steve Austin.....and he proved it again last week......"</em></p><p> </p><p> .....that comment invokes a loud "Austin" chant from the crowd, which Bret says just proves his point......</p><p> </p><p> <em>"......you people......you American jack-off's, you're nothing but hypocrites.....oh you're quick to jump down MY throat.....down Owens throat, the second we so much as look at somebody.....but Stone Cold Steve Austin can come out here and cost ME a win over the WWF Champion, and you all practically wet your pants in excitement.....last week, Steve Austin SCREWED me out of the chance to become the man around here.......I was going to take that non-title win, throw it in Vince McMahon's face and DEMAND a WWF Title shot.....but yet again, it's the same thing that's been happening since Wrestlemania XII, I get screwed....and nobody does a damn thing about it......."</em></p><p> </p><p> ......Bret says that's fine, because Summerslam is this Sunday, and it's set to be a great night for Canadians everywhere.....Owen Hart is going to walk out with the Intercontinental Championship.....Chris Jericho is going to walk out the LAST Light Heavyweight Champion......</p><p> </p><p> <em>"......and as for me, I'm going to beat the living hell out of Stone Cold Steve Austin at his own game, in a no holds barred, anything goes match.....but that's Sunday night......THIS is tonight.....and if Steve Austin has any guts at all, he'll walk down that aisle right now and face me like a man......"</em></p><p> </p><p> ......Jim Ross says that Bret is a real brave man, calling out Austin when its four on one, Austin would have to have a death wish to answer this challenge.....Rude however simply says that Owen, Jericho and Test are there for moral support, to cheer the Hitman on.....not that it will matter, because Stone Cold is too much of a coward to answer that challenge.......</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Steve Austin ISN'T it's a coward.......he might be slightly stupid however, because there are four men in that ring.....and if you believe Rick Rudes claims that Owen, Jericho and Test are just there for moral support then you'll believe anything.....</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="LjBLTcA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LjBLTcA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> .......he marches down to ringside and grabs a microphone from the commentary table....he doesn't get in the ring just yet however, instead telling the Hitman that at Summerslam, he's gonna take his little pink and black ass and beat him like the jackass he is.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>"......see what you need to know son, is that when it comes to whipping your ass, enough is never going to be enough.......I'm gonna whip your ass at Summerslam.....stomp a mudhole in you on Raw......put this boot right between your beady little eyes on Superstars.....you name the time and the place, and I'll be there whipping your ass.......just like I'm gonna do right now......"</em></p><p> </p><p> ......with that Austin tosses the microphone to one side, picks up a steel chair and slides into the ring.....where he's descended upon before he can even get to his feet, as the four men already in the ring begin to stomp him into the mat.....Rude says that this was just a stupid decision by Austin, proving what a dumb redneck he really is......Jericho drags Austin to his feet, but showing why they call him the toughest S.o.B in the WWF, Austin shoves him off before kicking the advancing Test in the gut and dropping him with the Stone Cold Stunner......Jericho charges but gets backdropped over the top rope to the floor, followed in swift fashion by Owen Hart, who Stone Cold sidesteps before tossing him to the outside....Bret looks to make a move, but Austin quickly picks up the steel chair and the Hitman decides to beat a hasty retreat, joining his compadres on the outside......</p><p> </p><p> .....Austin is egging all four men to get back in the ring, but the sight of a chair wielding Stone Cold is enough for them to decide to head to the back, with Bret telling Austin that if he wants a fight so bad, he's got one.......later.......when he can go one on one.....with Test.....before the group turn and head to the back, leaving Austin to toast the crowd with a few Steveweisers as we await our first match.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rating:</strong> A*</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p></div><div

Summerslam clash with Nation leader Faarooq and Owen Hart, where Davey will be looking to claim the Intercontinental Championship for a third time.....speaking of Faarooq, he's out to accompany his Nation brother for this one, although he spends a good portion of the match on the commentary table, where he hypes up all of the Nation's Summerslam matches, while being sure to mention the unfairness of the stipulations involved in both the Rock and Scorpios Title defences, as well as the attempt by "the man" to get that Intercontinental Championship away from him, by forcing him to defend his title against two men......</p><p> </p><p> ......Davey Boy will be looking to pick up a victory here, giving him some momentum heading into Sunday night....and he looks as though he's going to pick up the win too.....especially when he throws Kama up onto his shoulder, looking for that Running Powerslam.....which is when Faarooq flys off the commentary table and hooks the Bulldogs ankle, allowing Kama to wriggle free.....The Bulldog and the official both turn to tell Faarooq to get the hell away from ringside.....which is why they don't notice Kama picking up the Intercontinental Championship that Faarooq had slid into the ring.......he nails the Bulldog right in the back of the head with the gold belt, before tossing the title to the outside and making the cover, just as the official turns around to register the three count.....not a good night for the Bulldog, who's going to have to have eyes in the back of his head if he wants to pick up the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner:</strong> Kama</p><p> <strong>Rating:</strong> B-</p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote

the match that was the most surprising, because not only did Daniels directly disobey his masters orders (by refusing to attack Sid post match) he also delivered a second cardinal sin, when he actually offered Sid a handshake as a show of respect....</p><p> </p><p> ......Sid will be facing the master of the macabre, Raven at Summerslam.....and has put his WWF career on the line in the process......Raven on the other hand has agreed to disband the Flock should Sid manage to defeat him, with Jake Roberts desperate to atone for his previous sins, he will be in the corner of the big man, claiming that the Flock are an albatross around Raven's neck, not only preventing THEM from fulfilling their full potential, but Raven too......and it's two members of that Flock that Jake and Sid will be going up against tonight, when they face the Dogs of War, Wrath and Crush.....although much like Christopher Daniels, these two seem to be starting to see that Raven perhaps doesn't have their best interests at heart after all.....and in fact, appear to be wondering if a life AWAY from the Flock might be more beneficial to their careers......</p><p> </p><p> .....much like last week, Raven accompanies his two men to the ring....although unlike last week, he's not alone....because he's bought Daniels and DeMott out with him too.....although truth be told, Raven at ring side tonight (much like in Daniels match against Sid) is more of a hindrance than a help, because he's so focused on the Dogs picking up a victory here, that he actually ends up COSTING them the win, because when Wrath takes his eye off his opponent to tell Raven to quit barking orders, Sid is able to catch him and stick him with a Powerbomb that is enough to grant him (and Jake) the victory.</p><p> </p><p>

telling them to unleash hell.....Crush checks on his partner, who nods that he's ok, before picking up the steel chair.....and tossing it back towards Raven.....who looks on in horror as much like

Sid.....who instantly drops him with a big boot.....before dragging him to his feet and tossing him to the Snake, who delivers that Short Arm Clothesline that has always been the set up for the

in a fatal four way match this Sunday against the teams of Edge and Christian and the New Age Outlaws......the winners walk out as Champions.....while the losing team walks out of the WWF altogether, because they will be fired......Dok says that's Sunday though......tonight it will be Booker T teaming up with Al Snow, to face off against the combination of the Road Dogg Jesse James and his partner for the evening, Edge......Booker T goes to speak, but Al Snow cuts him off, telling Dok that......</p><p> </p><p> <em>".....that's right Betty.....and tonight, I just can't wait to be a member of Harlem Heat, ya dig Sucka?............what?...........I can say Sucka.......I'm very 'street' I'll have you know.......</em>(Al stops and gives Head a cold stare, obviously not liking whatever it is she has to say)<em>.......you take that back........I'm hip...........I AM........I'm cool........I AM!!........I'm cooler than you.........no.......no, you're not wearing it..........you're embarrassing me.........no........NO........fine, fine, you want to embarrass yourself then go right ahead......"</em></p><p> </p><p> .......Al ducks out of shot for a moment before standing back up.......and now Head is wearing a black Harlem Heat bandana, complete with flame motif.......</p><p> </p><p> <em>".......are you happy now, you look ridiculous.......you look ridiculous.......Booker tell her she looks ridiculous......."</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> ".......hey, she looks good to me dog......"</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> ".....don't encourage her.......her ego is big enough as it is.......Chris, tell her how stupid she looks......."</em></p><p> </p><p> .......Candido pauses for a moment as Booker and Stevie chuckle away in the background, before telling Al that nothing 'Head' could ever do could embarrass him any more than Al Snow embarrasses him on a daily basis......in fact, the ONLY thing Al Snow could do to not embarrass Chris Candido, would be to pick up the win tonight, and walk out of Summerslam as one half of the NEW tag team champions.......</p><p> </p><p> <em>".....so can we maybe focus on that?....."</em></p><p> </p><p> ......Dok tells the men that they are allied tonight, but in six days it's going to be every team for themself.....and after Billy Gunns victory last week, the advantage is surely in the camp of the New Age Outlaws?......Booker T doesn't agree, he says the Outlaws.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>".....haven't been teaming up but five minutes, and no offence to this crazy cracker right here and his partner, but neither have they.....Edge and Christian, they just a pair of wannabe's.....me and my brother, we been a team our whole damn life.....and we been winning tag team Gold our whole career.....forget about your Steiner Brothers, your Hart Foundations....your Legion of Dooms....what you looking at right here is the greatest team in the history of tag team Wrestling.....and it's just like Biggie said....cuz if you don't know, now you know.....sucka....."</em></p><p> </p><p> ....Chris Candido takes exception to that, telling Booker that he and his brother may have worn tag team gold elsewhere......but they've never worn tag team gold where it matters, and that's here in the WWF.....and while he and Al Snow haven't been teaming all that long, they've racked up some pretty impressive wins along the way......and Sunday night will be the biggest win so far, when they take home those tag team titles.....the absolute BEST result that the Heat can hope for, is that it's neither one of THEM that Candido pins to finish that match.....because they've only been in the WWF <em>"but five minutes"</em> and it would be a shame for their careers to be ended, before they even began.....</p><p> </p><p> .....the interview then soon descends into an argument, with Dok doing his best to remind these men that they still have to co-operate this evening, before Booker, Stevie and Candido finally storm off before they come to blows, leaving an flustered looking Al Snow behind....who looks down at Head......and up at Dok.....before letting out a sigh.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>".....can't we all just get along Betty?....."</em></p><p> </p><p> .....Al just stands there, as if he's waiting for an answer to that rhetorical question....before Dok reminds him that his match

storied history between Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels, with snippets of comments from each man spliced in throughout.....it starts with Michaels smashing Marty Jannette through the Barber Shop Window, followed up by a shot of him capturing his first Intercontinental Championship from the British Bulldog, with a Michaels voice over telling us that he always had a knack for knowing when friends had outlived their usefulness.....he says that he always knew he was destined for greatness.....and he did it all on his own....</p><p> </p><p> .....that's followed up with a shot of Jannetty defeating Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship.....before we see Kevin Nash's WWF debut as Diesel, helping the Heartbreak Kid regain the championship at a house show event, with a Nash voice over telling us that he's been carrying Shawn Michaels since the day he arrived here in the WWF.....followed by shot after shot of Diesel's interference helping Michaels regain the gold.....</p><p> </p><p> .....from there we have a clip of Diesel eliminating seven men from the 1994 Royal Rumble, emphasising the reaction from the crowd that night as they embraced the (then still heel) big man.....as Michaels tells us that he dragged Nash from nothing and made him a star.....before we see Nash's parting shot in the Rumble, where Shawn Michaels appeared to help eliminate him....with Nash telling us that Shawn Michaels has been stabbing him in the back from day one, he should have seen all this coming.....</p><p> </p><p> .....next we see Diesel capture the Intercontinental Championship from Razor Ramon (with an assist from Shawn Michaels) as well as the pairs Tag Team Title victory over the Headshrinkers, making Big Kev a double champion....as Shawn tells us that he's the ONLY reason that Kevin won ANYTHING around here.....before we see Michaels accidentally Superkicking Diesel in the jaw, inadvertently cost Nash the Intercontinental Title at Summerslam 94.....before we see him Superkick him again at Survivor Series 94, before running out on him and tossing the tag team championship down in the process, as Nash tells us that Shawn Michaels is the ONLY reason that he lost ANYTHING around here......</p><p> </p><p> .....there's a shot of Michaels going coast to coast in the 1995 Royal Rumble....telling us that he showed the world how good he was when he finally ditched that seven foot loser.....followed by Diesels squashing of Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden to capture the WWF Title, with Nash saying that when he was finally free from babysitting Shawn, HE showed the world how good he was.....before we see the pairs only Pay Per View match, when Diesel defeated the Heartbreak Kid at Wrestlemania XI, with Nash telling us that he's defeated Michaels before, he can damn sure do it again.....</p><p> </p><p> .....from there we have flashes of Diesel's WWF Title reign....defeating the likes of Mabel, Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow and Psycho Sid in real snore fests, before being defeated for the belt by Bret Hart....as Shawn tells us that Nash held that World Wrestling Federation Championship for a year....and drove the business into the toilet......before we see Michaels WWF Title victory over Bret Hart at Wrestlemania XII (without a shot of the KLiQ's interference that helped him win) as well as victories over the likes of Bret Hart (again), Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, Steve Austin, Chris Jericho etc....as Shawn tells us that HE held the World Wrestling Federation Championship for a year, defeating the man that Nash couldn't......and he took the business to highs it had never seen before.....and he did it all by himself.....</p><p> </p><p> ......that's followed up by a repeat shot of Shawn winning the WWF Championship again, as well as all his subsequent title defences....except this time all of the KLiQs interference is included....especially highlighting the fact that it was Nash that helped Michaels win the WWF Title in the first place.....as Nash tells us that Shawn Michaels held the World Wrestling Federation for a year because of HIM.....and it was the KLiQ that revolutionised this business and turned the WWF into a ratings machine.....ALL of the KLiQ....NOT just Shawn Michaels.....but Michaels just couldn't share the spotlight.....he had to let his ego get the best of him.....</p><p> </p><p> ....from there we see the deterioration of the KLiQ.....Michaels constantly ripping into and talking down to his friends.....Michaels accidentally Superkicking each and every member at some point or other.....Michaels doing more to COST his so called friends victories than earn them.....with Nash telling us that it was the Wolfpac that carried Shawn Michaels to the top....and all they got for it was to be sh!t on week in and week out.....he says that Shawn Michaels killed the KLiQ.....Shawn Michaels killed the best thing to ever happen to his career.....Shawn Michaels pushed and pushed and pushed.....until Kevin Nash finally pushed back.....</p><p> </p><p> .....that's followed by Kevin Nash's destruction of the Heartbreak Kid.....Powerbombing him through the announce table at the Royal Rumble......ensuring that no one interferes in the Wrestlemania match that saw Scott Steiner become the WWF Champion.....as well as Kevin Nash's vicious assault from In Your House in Canada, which again saw Michaels Jackknifed through the commentary table.....Nash tells us that this has gone on long enough....the WWF just isn't big enough for both of their

greatest prize in professional wrestling, the WCW Championship.....and after last night, Sting...bro....that's a prize that you'll never be competing for again.....because as long as that belt is around Hollywood's waist, no one....not me.....not Bischoff.....not the old farts on the Championship committee......no one....will be granting you a title shot again......and believe me when I tell

have to continue to prove that you deserve to be rubbing shoulders with the greatest of the great.......</p><p> </p><p> <em>".......and last night.....not everybody did that......Ray Traylor.....I wanted the head of Curt Hennig last night.....the man embarrassed me.....he embarrassed Hollywood.....he embarrassed all of us, when he double crossed us like the snake he is and aligned himself with Eric Bischoff and WCW........I wanted his head and you went and lost to him.......fortunately for you you're the Enforcer.....and as such get a little leeway around here.....which is why you get to make amends tonight.......because after you did what you do best during his match with Mr. Levesque here last night, Chris Benoit apparently wants YOU tonight.......you take care of that little problem.....you show me.....show US.....exactly why you're the Enforcer.....and you'll be good to go bro......</em></p><p> </p><p> ......Russo then turns to the Nasty Boys.....telling them that Traylor wasn't the only one to fail last night.......they were supposed to be bringing the WCW Tag Team Titles home to the Titans.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>".......but I sure as sh!t don't see no titles around your waists.....I told you what would happen if you didn't home the gold.......I told you.....EVERYONE is replaceable......and if you're not pulling your weight, then what use are you?......"</em></p><p> </p><p> .....with that the rest of the Titans surround the now nervous looking Nasty Boys......who quickly begin trying to talk themselves out of this little hole that they've dug.....they tell Russo to wait a minute.....saying that the only reason the lost last night, was because they were doing Titan business.....they were in the back with Traylor, showing Luger and the Giant what happens when you badmouth Hollywood......and the Road Warriors jumped them from behind.....Knobbs says that he was smashed in the face with a motorcycle helmet before the match even started.....it wasn't their fault.......</p><p> </p><p> <em>"......wasn't your fault? Bro if there's one thing we don't have room for here in the Titans of Wrestling......it's losers......but a whiner is even worse than a loser.......I'll tell you what though....since tonight is a night of celebration for us.....and since I'm in a particularly generous mood......I'm gonna give you two bozo's ONE more chance......next week, live on Monday Nitro.....it's gonna be the Road Warriors, putting the WCW Tag Team Titles on the line against the Nasty Boys.......and since you DID get your skull bashed in with a motorcycle helmet last night, let's make it interesting......let's make it.....a Street Fight.....anything goes.....winner takes all......but I promise you now bro.....you don't deliver the Tag Team Titles next week, then the Road Warriors will be the LEAST of your problems......"</em></p><p> </p><p> .....now that the unpleasant business is taken care of, Russo says it's onto more pleasant matters.....and that is the arrival of the NEWEST Titan.....and the man that made sure Sting would never be granted a shot at Hollywoods title again.....</p><p> </p><p> <em>".....ladies and gentlemen, the Titans of Wrestling proudly bring to you.......the man......the

seeing......gone is the colourful face paint, replaced with a more simplified black and white design.....gone are the colourful airbrushed trunks and knee pads......instead he has a pair of long black tights on (similar to Hollywood's) with the word "Warrior" written in white down each leg.....he still has the arm and boot tassels, but again, it's a black and white theme.......but that's not the biggest difference.....the biggest difference is his entrance in general......because he's not bursting out of the back at a thousand miles an hour.......he's not tearing down the aisle and shaking the ropes like a mad man......he simply walks out onto the entrance way, surrounded by an explosion of pyros......before slowly and methodically walking down the aisle, completely ignoring the jeering fans either side of him.......before climbing into the ring where he shakes hands with Russo.....before embracing Hogan and Savage......and taking the microphone from Russo......he still has some of the Warrior ramblings about him, but he's far less "out there" than usual......</p><p> </p><p> .......he tells Sting that in this human game of chess that is professional wrestling, he was nothing more than a Pawn who thought he was a King......he says that once.....long, long ago.....he and Sting were equals.....but while The Warrior went on to reign supreme in the land of the giants, Sting was happy to settle for mediocrity, thinking himself a big fish in a very little pond.......which was fine......until the Megalodon's of Professional Wrestling arrived.....</p><p> </p><p> .......he asks Sting if he truly believed a star of the Warriors size would be happy to represent a second rate, inferior promotion like WCW for the sake of pride?......Warrior is here for one reason and one reason only.......Money.......and Vince Russo and the Titans of Wrestling is where the money is.......he is a Warrior......and Warriors should surround themselves with greatness, not mediocrity.....and this in the ring right here.....this is greatness......Warrior says that last night alone he heard many men claiming that they were coming for the Titans of Wrestling......well let them come.....come one....come all.....because all will bow down.....at the feet of the Titans of Wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rating:</strong> A*</p><p> </p><p>

again......although THIS Savage and Warrior are very different to their 1992 counterparts.....as the Warrior takes his first steps into the land of the heels.....and step he does.....because much like earlier this evening there is no running down the aisle.....there is no shaking the ropes for the excitement of the fans.....if anything the Warrior completely ignores the crowd, almost as if he sees them so beneath him, that they don't even warrant his attention.....</p><p> </p><p> ......Lex Luger made it perfectly clear last night that he has his sights firmly set on the Titans of Wrestling.....and more precisely, Hollywood Hogan.....surely a victory here would take him one step closer to making his dream a reality......and considering the men involved, this is a damn good match.....clearly the crowd are hot to see the turncoat Warrior get his comeuppance......unfortunately, they are going to have to keep waiting.....because obviously keen to show everyone his brand new mean (i.e cheating) streak, and with the help of another Buff Bagwell distraction at ringside.....he almost knocks Luger out cold with a steel chair shot, leaving him easy pickings for a Macho Man Flying Elbow, giving the Titans of Wrestling an important victory here tonight.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner(s):</strong> Randy Savage & The Warrior</p><p> <strong>Rating:</strong> B+</p><p> </p><p>

Nitro had Chris Benoit (PUSH HIM, DAMMIT! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ), Regal and Hennig, and that would likely be the only reason I would watch it. So probably RAW.</p>

<p>Ahmed Johnson - <em>If there is ever a time for Ahmed to pick up the gold, this is it right here. I called him out as a future champion quite a few times during the previous year, but with Cornette to talk for him and this huge wave of momentum he's riding, it's now or never.</em></p><p>

Shawn Michaels - <em>I can't see the WWF without Shawn Michaels. He's still young, he's still far and away your most well rounded wrestler, and he would immediately be lost in the shuffle in WCW. However, Kevin Nash in WCW interests me because for one I think he would still manage to stand out by jumping ship and for two I think it would finally let Hall get a chance to shine in this new WWF.</em></p><p>

Bret Hart - <em>Hart picks up the win but it's going to put Austin over huge in the end anyways.</em></p><p>

Owen Hart - <em>The Harts are honestly one of my favorite part of the show right now.</em></p><p>

The Rock - <em>And the loser will be Jeff Jarrett.</em></p><p>

NAO - <em>The only ones I can see leaving are E&C here. Harlem Heat are too fresh to the WWF and Snow/Candido are really entertaining, while E&C I don't feel have fit in very well. But that's more my failing at seeing them fit in without going through the buildup that they did IRL than anything you've done.</em></p><p>

Chris Jericho - <em>I don't know what you plan on replacing the title with, but the LHW title can go now.</em></p><p>

Flair and Anderson - <em>Getting Hall away from Waltman would maybe do good for him. He's been just playing passenger for so long now that I almost look forward to seeing Nash gone so that Scott can get a glimpse toward the top.</em></p><p>

Brian Pillman - <em>This one isn't going to be over in one match, I think.</em></p><p>

Sid - <em>You've let the Flock run it's course, now let's see where Raven goes without them.</em></p><p>

Kane</p><p> </p><p>

Raw or Nitro: I would have flipped back and forth between them but probably ended up catching a little more of Nitro. I'm pretty excited to see War Games going on at Fall Brawl, and right now they do have a serious "Who's showing up next?" vibe going on that is a little bit exciting.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, I love the whole "Keep your hands off my frickin' Giant!" discussion that keeps happening <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p><em>Just wanna say before I get into it - love this card. Tons on the line in every match. Let's begin:</em></p><p> </p><p>

WWF Championship Match</p><p>

Scott Steiner © vs. <strong>Ahmed Johnson</strong></p><p>

Comments: <em>Incredibly tough choice, but Ahmed's hotter than hot, and Steiner still doesn't seem like "the guy" to me as champ (looking at you, stone cold). Could see Taker costing Ahmed here, but I think you'll save that feud for down the line (Survivor Series?). As much as I wnat Steiner vs Bret, I think this is it. </em></p><p> </p><p>

Loser Leaves the WWF</p><p>

<strong>Kevin Nash</strong> vs. Shawn Michaels</p><p>

Comments: <em>I think you've hinted at this so far in WCW, with JPL not exactly winning over the hearts of Hogan and Russo. Let DX do their anti-authority stuff in WCW, and the Wolfpac feuds with the Harts.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Anything Goes: Street Fight</p><p>

Steve Austin vs. <strong>Bret Hart</strong></p><p>

Comments: <em>Let's keep austin on the chase, even if it is for a little bit longer</em></p><p> </p><p>

Who Loses?: <em>J-A-Double-R-E-Double-T is F-I-R-E-D *vince voice* FIRED</em></p><p>

Comments: <em>Eh, why not with Ken? With Jeff gone and the MDC as the lowest heel stable on the block, let him fight with NOD</em></p><p> </p><p>

The New Age Outlaws © vs. Al Snow & Chris Candido vs. Edge & Christian vs. <strong>Harlem Heat</strong></p><p>

Who Loses?: <em>This is really tough - going for the home run in NAO</em></p><p>

Comments: <em>Everyone losing except for HH make sense here. I'm guessing this is the "shock" firing of the night, and lets DX really become DX down south</em></p><p> </p><p>

WWF Championship Match

Scott Steiner © vs. Ahmed Johnson

Comments: I know I never dug Johnson in real life, but he's got real momentum here, and Steiner has a ready-made reason for defeat as I assume that Goldust will get involved. Shenanigans!

 

Loser Leaves the WWF

Kevin Nash vs. Shawn Michaels

Comments: Nash would fit fantastically in WCW as a rogue agent - neither WCW loyalist due to his time away from the company nor willing to bow to Hogan as he'd see himself as bigger, stronger and better. Michaels, for all his talent, would be just another Titan in Russo's WCW.

 

Anything Goes: Street Fight

Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart

Comments: I love Bret, but Austin will benefit more from a victory here.

 

WWF Intercontinental Championship: Triple Threat Match

Faarooq © vs. The British Bulldog vs. Owen Hart

Comments: The Nation need to stay strong overall.

 

WCW European Championship: Fatal Four Way Match

The Loser of the Match will be Fired

The Rock © vs. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Ken Shamrock

Who Loses?: Jeff Jarrett

Comments: Jarrett is a born WCW guy.

 

WCW Tag Team Championship: Fatal Four Way Match

The Losing Team will be Fired

The New Age Outlaws © vs. Al Snow & Chris Candido vs. Edge & Christian vs. Harlem Heat

Who Loses?: The Outlaws

Comments: Strengthen the Titans with the Nastys probably on their way out, and give the rub to a team with a lot of entertainment value.

 

WCW Light Heavyweight Championship: Fatal Four Way Match

If Chris Jericho wins, the Light Heavyweight Division is retired....if Chris Jericho loses, he leaves the WWF

Scorpio © vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho vs. Dean Malenko

Comments: Tempting to promote Jericho, but I feel like he'd have huge milage in WCW as competition for Buff Bagwell as an aspiring Titan.

 

The Wolfpac (Hall & Waltman) vs. Ric Flair & Arn Anderson

Comments: Assuming Nash loses, the Wolfpac need some momentum.

 

Dude Love vs. Brian Pillman

Comments: I don't think Pillman will get Love to revert to Cactus Jack... but this story probably has more to go.

 

Flock vs. Career

Psycho Sid vs. Raven

Comments: I think the Flock are done.

 

Bradshaw vs. Kane

Comments: Bradshaw isn't on Kane's level, but a strong showing here could help.

 

Bonus Question For My Own Curiosity:

Obviously Raw and Nitro go head to head....which show would you have been watching this week.....the post Road Wild Nitro? Or the pre Summerslam Raw?

Comments: Post-turn Warrior would get my vote this week.
