A new generation.....a new attitude?

KLiQ - A cheap win for the Kliq puts Bret in a do or die situation for Summerslam.

Billy Gunn - Goldust gets involved, giving Billy a win.

Ahmed Johnson - He forgot to take his meds this morning, so he'll be in a REAL... BAD MOON.

Al Snow - Someone dressed as Avatar maybe? The "ultimate sacrifice" line leads me to think Warrior, but no way would that be happening for this minor story. So I'm going more on the "man in the mirror" part.

Mankind

Really good stuff on the last Raw, the promos between Bret and Shawn were amazing.

The show opens up at the announce table, where Vince McMahon, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross welcome us to the show, promising a night of night tensions.....because tonight, fresh off the heels of the KLiQ's assault of Davey Boy Smith, Bret and Owen Hart have challenged WWF Champion Shawn Michaels and WWF Intercontinental Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley, to a tag team match tonight.....Lawler is quick to point out that it might be a mistake on the part of the Hitman, stepping into the ring with the KLiQ just six days before his big Title match at Summerslam.....he says that Shawn Michaels is obsessed with holding onto the WWF Championship....and as the KLiQ have shown in recent weeks, there's no depths that they won't stoop to in order to gain an advantage, as the British Bulldog and both Steve Austin and Brian Pillman found out the hard way last week...... ..........!!GLASS SHATTERS!!.......... <img alt="LjBLTcA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LjBLTcA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="SC2jCnQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SC2jCnQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .........almost on cue (anyone would think this stuff was scripted) the sounds of breaking glass signals the arrival of one third of the big Tag Title Triple Threat booked for Sunday Night.....as the p####d off pairing of Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Loose Cannon Brian Pillman march down to the ring. Both men are in street clothes, but they are also both shirtless and you can still see the remnants of the spray painted "KLiQ" markings on their skin, courtesy of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash last week. They burst into the ring and Austin takes the microphone first....he tells Scott Steiner that he walked off last week, leaving himself and Pillman to get beaten like dogs....and that's ok, because Austin would have done the exact same thing to him.....but that isn't going to stop him and Pillman from kicking their teeth down their throats....now as far as the KLiQ and their actions last week goes..... "......if there's one thing that Stone Cold Steve Austin ain't, it's a man that makes excuses.....I ain't gonna come out here bitching and moaning about getting my ass whipped last week, it is what it is and an ass whipping is an ass whipping.....but while I ain't a man that makes excuses, I also ain't a man that TAKES an ass-whipping without handing out a receipt.....Scott Hall, Kevin Nash.....you may well have left us laying last week.....you may well have left is laying the week before that and the week before that.....but playtime is over son and it's high time that people started taking Steve Austin seriously around here.......this ain't high school.....Steve Austin ain't here for your amusement.....and this (indicating at the paint on Pillman's back) might amuse you......but it pisses me off..... .....on Sunday night, the party is coming to an end....because Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, we're fixing to run through the Steiner Brothers and the KLiQ.....and we're walking out of Summerslam as the NEW World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions....." Pillman takes a break from antagonising the live crowd to speak as well. He says that the KLiQ might think they're the coolest kids in school....going round with spray paint and acting like a bunch over overgrown teenagers...... ".......but they don't call me the Loose Cannon for nothing and the fun and games stop tonight.....there's an old saying that goes, when you play with fire, you're gonna get burnt.....well when you play with Brian F'n Pillman......Brian Pillman will take it to the extreme......I'll cut your throat and pull your tongue out the hole until you're wearing it as a neck tie......I will purge you from the face of the earth and burn any evidence of your existence to the ground......YOU CAN'T COMPETE WITH CRAZY.....AND WHEN I'M DONE.....AND YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A BLOODY PUDDLE OF VISCERA AND GORE.....I'M GONNA WHIP MY JOHNSON OUT ON LIVE PAY PER VIEW AND DESECRATE YOUR CORPSE....I'M GONNA......." I think we've heard enough from Brian Pillman.....so do the censors apparently because his live microphone is suddenly cut off, while Austin just stands there shaking his head......his mic is still working though..... ".....the bottom line is this.....Stone Cold Steve Austin is a man, surrounded by boys.....and tonight, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash....you're about to find out what happens....when a man plays a boys game.....and that's all I gotta say about that...." With that Austin drops his mic and heads to the back, dragging an out of control Brian Pillman with him.

Barry didn't take the loss well however and enlisted his Texas Long Rider tag team partner, Justin Bradshaw.....as well as Jessie James....to extract his revenge. Luckily for Ahmed, the Son's of Samoa were there to save the day.....but this week Johnson is looking to take his aggression out on Justin Bradshaw. To say this is a hard hitting affair would be an understatement.....two big thick brawlers, beating the tar out of each other. Unfortunately for Bradshaw, he suffers much the same fate as his partner last week, as Ahmed is able to put him away with the Pearl River Plunge, after ducking a Lariat attempt from the Big Texan.

Barry Windham and Jessie James make their way down the aisle, but they don't get far before the music of the Son's of Samoa brings them to a halt.....as Rikishi, Kokina and finally Rocky Maivia, walk out from the back. <img alt="9iWOj1g.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9iWOj1g.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5xwXg1I.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5xwXg1I.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VoT036M.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VoT036M.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Maivia and Rikishi jog to the ring, while Kokina takes a more leisurely pace. All three Samoan's (eventually) hit the ring and stand shoulder to shoulder beside Ahmed. The Texan's and Jessie James decide that maybe the best option here is to retreat and so head to the back, offering only threats and insults as they go. Ahmed celebrates his victory with the crowd, before speaking into a nearby camera, telling the viewers at home that he's coming for the title.

We head to a quick shot of the back, where the KLiQ are arriving in style as a long black limousine pulls up in the parking lot. All seven KLiQers climb out, laughing and joking as they do. Michaels comments on the Limo, saying something along the lines of wanting a jet plane next. Nash tells him that it's only the best for the Champ from here on out, that's why he, Hall and the rest of the group sprung for this stylish ride for the evening. Michaels drapes the World Title over his shoulder and gives it a little polish, before looking approvingly at the vehicle, telling the group to come on.....lets go see what we've missed. The group head into the building, with Hall muttering something about not missing anything......because the show doesn't start until the KLiQ arrive.

Jeff Hardy flys into the ring to help his brother, but he can't get the madman to release the hold......and soon finds himself in the clutches of Kane who has also entered the squared circle. Things look pretty bleak for the brothers Hardy.....which is when the light dim down to a dark blue glow, which coats over the arena as an eerie music begins to play. Kane and Mankind release their victims and turn to face the entrance way, where the floor has been replaced by a deep covering of smoke. Slowly but surely six men dressed in Druid cloaks come walking out from the back......pushing a large wooden casket as they come. The two monsters watch their slow advancement down the aisle, before the casket is finally level with the ring apron.....which is where the Druids leave it as they stand a few feet away with their heads bowed, leaving Kane and Mankind to look down at the vessel of man's final journey. This is usually where the trepidation sets in for the majority of the Undertakers opponents....as they spend a few minutes building up the courage to check the contents of the casket.....but Mankind and Kane are wired differently than your usual opponents....and waste no time in dropping to the floor and swinging open the lid........revealing an empty casket. The distraction gives the Hardys the chance to mount a turnbuckle each.....and for the first time since they launched these series of attacks, they actually succeed in knocking not just Mankind down, but Kane as well, as they launch themselves with force in duel crossbody splashes from the top rope to their opponents on the floor. The celebration is short lived however, as Kane and Mankind are quick to their feet....and as Mankind drives Matt Hardy into the steel steps, the Big Red Monster grasps hold of Jeff by the throat.....and impressively choke slams him into the open casket with such force that the lid snaps closed behind him. Mankind rolls Jeff into the ring, then moves to re-open the lid.....and the crowd pops in anticipation of the fact that this is usually the point that the Undertaker miraculously appears inside the casket.....not tonight though, it's just the lifeless form of Matt Hardy. Kane joins Jeff in the ring and drags him over to the apron, clearly looking to deliver another Chokeslam, this time from the ring down into the casket.....which is when one of the Druids standing behind Mankind removes his hood..... <img alt="rnLgWN8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rnLgWN8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .......and this time the crowd has reason to pop.....as the Undertaker begins to lay a beating on his Summerslam opponent. He bounces him off steel and concrete, before finally crushing the hand that Mankind uses to perform the Mandible Claw in the lid of the casket....all the while Kane stands motionless in the ring, watching his brother destroy his partner. The Undertaker continues to crash the lid against Mankind's hand, screaming at Kane to come and fight him....."stop me, or I'll crush his hand" but Kane simply backs away, flips 360 over the top to the floor, and exits the ringside area through the crowd, leaving Mankind at the mercy of the Deadman. Clearly frustrated at his brothers refusal to fight however, the Undertaker has clearly lost all interest in Mankind. He slams the lid one more time, causing Mankind to cry out in agony.....before telling the deranged one that he'll see him on Sunday......when he will Rest....In......Peace......then turning and walking to the back.

Hawk says beating up the Harris Boys and Bobby Knight is one thing....they say that Kane and Mankind are something else. They ask the Hardy's to stop their attacks before they get hurt.....offering to take the youngsters under their wings one more time....Hawk says that with their guidance they finally scored those much needed victories.....and with a little more, maybe.....MAYBE.....they'll have a chance of surviving against the Monsters.

It's only when he clarifies that he meant a three way beat down of Jericho, that everyone relaxes.....well, not Jericho......he's too busy getting stomped on by a Goldust, Gunn and Perfect to relax. Fortunately for him, help is on the way...... <img alt="zEp3Eup.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zEp3Eup.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......in the form of Bart Gunn, who comes running down the aisle at full pelt, minus neck brace and clearly back to 100%. He rolls into the ring and goes straight to work on the attacking trio. The rumour going around is that Perfect is keen to get back into the ring at some point and that while his back will never be in (excuse the pun) Perfect condition, he feels that he still has enough left in the tank to be able to perform.....maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but he still has a good few months worth of rehabbing and physio to do before I even consider putting him back in that ring......although honestly, the way he bumps for Bart tonight.....a blind man could see that he's still got "it". Billy and Goldust get introduced to the floor, courtesy of clotheslines over the top rope from Bart, leaving Gunn and Perfect alone in the ring. A series of right hands backs Perfect into the corner, followed up with an Irish Whip to the opposite side which Perfect sells with a Ric Flair upside down flip, landing on the apron. Bart runs the length of the ring and nails Perfect with a dropkick which sends him crashing down on top of Billy and Goldust, who do their best to cushion his fall. Bart helps Jericho back to his feet and the two men stand, ready to fight.....but Goldust and Billy have decided that they would rather wait for Summerslam to fight.....telling their respective opponents that they will see them in six days time.

Dok says that he is outside the locker room of the Hart Foundation, where he's been trying to get some words from Bret and Owen in regards to not only tonight's big tag match, but the Summerslam encounters as well. Hendrix says that unfortunately however, the Harts aren't available for comment right now, and have requested to be left alone to prepare for their match next with the KLiQ, with Dok adding that Brets words to him were that after what happened to the Bulldog last week, anything they do have to say, wouldn't be very family friendly anyway. "What a surprise Dok......the precious Hart Brothers are too big and too important to talk to the common man....." <img alt="FOurmAt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FOurmAt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="rHR4YiB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rHR4YiB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PST0d7r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PST0d7r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yiIP524.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yiIP524.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The Nation are here, and they surround Hendrix as Faarooq complains that they have had to come here and take the Hart Foundations unwanted interview time.....He says that the Nation of Domination should be the focus of every show, instead they're back here, waiting around for someone to pass by with a camera and a microphone. He says no one has asked them about their big victory from last week, when they put the precious Hart Brothers down for the count....no one has asked him about his upcoming match with Owen at Summerslam.....hell, no one round here has so much as asked Faarooq the god damn time....because no one wants the Nation of Domination here.....everyone knows that the only reason that the Nation is still around, is because no one is tough enough to make them leave. Dok says that's not the case at all, and proceeds to ask Faarooq his thoughts on last weeks victory, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming match with Owen Hart at Summerslam? Faarooq looks Hendrix up and down for a moment, before telling him "hell no.....ask your precious Hart Foundation.....the Nation of Domination will do all their talking in the ring" With that the four men walk away, leaving Hendrix with a rather frustrated look on his face, and no one to interview.

Bret and Owen are out first for this one, with the KLiQ pairing tonight being both the WWF World and Intercontinental Champions, it's only fitting that they come out last....we should still have some respect for the titles, even if the KLiQ don't. I told the guys to take it easy in this one, take it slow, tell a story, don't take any unnecessary risks.....basically, put on a decent match that hypes Summerslam, without risking injury and jeopardising the main event of one of our biggest events of the year. We may be running a Pay Per View every month now.....and King of the Ring may have developed a following in recent years....but everybody knows that the "big four" still are (and should always be) THE events to watch. Even with the limitations that I gave them, these four still went out there and had a great match. Hunter is desperate to be seen as a main eventer.....he already sees himself as one, and tells me so on a regular basis....so he went out and put a decent showing. The commentators played up that this was a mission or revenge for the Harts, after the vicious assault that the British Bulldog was subject to last week at the hands of the KLiQ.....but with the added incentive that the winner tonight would be taking the momentum into Summerslam ahead of the huge World Title match. The end came in typical KLiQ fashion however, as after a long hard fought battle, Michaels and Helmsley both found themselves trapped in duel Sharpshooters.....obviously the last thing that the KLiQ wanted was for the world to see their Champion submitting to Bret Hart six days before Summerslam, so with HBK and HHH screaming in agony..... <img alt="7M1mABh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7M1mABh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tsQXS32.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tsQXS32.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="IYJgUWD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IYJgUWD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .........the rest of the KLiQ hit the ring to break up the submission, drawing a disqualification victory for the Harts.....who may have won the match, but now look to be in serious trouble.

Michaels tells him not to worry....."I told you that no one would lay a hand on you and they won't.....that I didn't want any excuses when I beat you on Sunday......I didn't say anything about your baby brother though....boys, get the steps....." Hall and Nash pin Owen to the mat while Waltman and Helmsley get the steel ring steps from the outside......it looks like we are going to have a repeat of the In Your House Powerbombings.

The Hitman is broke out of the handcuffs and joins the mass of muscle that's in the ring, all of whom are jeering the KLiQ, informing them that Bret is going to be bringing home the gold at Summerslam....it's obvious who the roster want to represent them as the WWF Champion.....and it ain't Shawn Michaels.

As the shot slowly zooms out Austin continues to speak, telling the KLiQ that they warned them......warned them that they are boys in a mans game.....the camera pans out further and it's clear that Austin is stood outside the building.....he continues talking trash on Hall and Nash, until the camera finally pans out to its furthest point......where we see Brian Pillman.....stood on the top off the KLiQ limousine.......emptying containers of gasoline all over the vehicle, before finally dismounting and backing up towards Austin, emptying a trail of gas as he goes. He turns to face the camera with a look of maniacal glee in his eyes, before he brings a lighter up to shot......fires it up.....and drops it onto the floor. The gas ignites instantly and a trail of fire snakes it's way over to the limousine....which goes up in seconds and is soon in a hot blaze of orange as acrid black smoke billows up into the nights sky. Pillman stands on laughing like a maniac transfixed by the flames.....but Austin hasn't even looked behind him at the scene.....in fact he has yet to take his cold stare off the camera lens, staring into the soul of the KLiQ. The show finally comes to a close with this chaotic scene....McMahon urges us to buy the Pay Per View.....while Jim Ross remarks that in just six days time, the KLiQ's reign of terror.....much like their transport......may well be going up in smoke.

My good mood at the fact that Raw once again defeated Nitro in the ratings, 16.34 to 15.71 was quickly erased this week.....and I have the KLiQ to thank for it......well mainly one Mr. Paul Levesque.....who is rapidly turning into the bad apple of a group of bad apples......not content with picking a fight with Scorpio some months back, he once again decided to antagonise and insult another of the boys.....before finally taking it upon himself to slap them around a little bit......his victim? Well that was the surprising part....because it was fringe KLiQ member Justin Credible. Now granted he's not as tight with the rest of the group as Helmsley is.....but Michaels, Hall, Nash, Waltman....not one of them came to the kids aid....and by the time the rest of the boys got there to break it up, the fight was already over. To his credit, young Justin took it on the chin (literally) and doesn't seem to garner any ill feelings towards Helmsley.....but then who's going to willingly make an enemy of one of that bunch of mercenaries?Regardless, that's strike number two....and examples have to be made.....Helmsley is lucky he has a title match scheduled for Summerslam, or he'd be looking at something more severe than the loss of a weeks wages that he was fined.....not that he agrees....the jackass had the audacity to be furious with ME for his actions......and the rest of his band of merry idiots jumped on the bandwagon, leaving me with a p####d off Michaels, Waltman and Hall as well......Nash kept his mouth shut for once, but when the focus SHOULD be on the Pay Per View that we have coming up next, instead I'm playing placate the KLiQ.....assholes......maybe the lot of them will find themselves counting the lights on Sunday......see how they like them apples. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="o4dQhGr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/o4dQhGr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> WWF Championship Match Shawn Michaels © vs. Bret Hart Comments: WWF Intercontinental Championship Match Triple H © vs. The British Bulldog Comments: WWF Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match The KLiQ (Hall & Nash) © vs The Steiner Brothers vs Steve Austin & Brian Pillman Comments: WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Match Sean Waltman © vs Rey Mysterio Comments: The Undertaker vs Mankind Comments: Owen Hart vs Faarooq Comments: Chris Jericho vs Goldust Comments: Al Snow & Bill DeMott vs The Dogs of War (Will the mystery man be revealed?

Shawn Michaels - I think Shawn retains it here, because it'll be Austin or Pillman who finally stop the KLiQ once and for all.

British Bulldog - H is becoming quite the pain, so Davey takes the belt away from him.

Austin and Pillman - New champions!

Rey Mysterio - It is due time for the KLiQ to not have a very good night, losing a lot of their gold but keeping the World belt on top.

Mankind - Kane finally makes himself known and destroys Taker to give the match to Mankind.

Faarooq - The Nation steps into the light, putting them in a higher profile as Faarooq picks up a huge win.

Goldust - Jericho is a lot younger, so give it to Goldust to cement him for now.

Snow and DeMott - By DQ or something maybe, just enough that it's a win.

Mystery Man: Yeah, and as Raven.

Billy Gunn

Bulldog makes his way out first and he has his ribs taped up tightly as he winces his way down the aisle way. He climbs into the ring and a replay of the beatdown he suffered at the hands of the KLiQ while we wait for the arrival of his opponent. Hunter is out next, with Sunny by his side as the duo walk arm in arm down the aisle. Helmsley stops at ringside and suddenly begins dramatically overselling back pain, before bursting out laughing and treating the Bulldog to a crotch chop.....clearly confidence is on side of the Champion. The two men lock up to start the match....and this is where the Bulldog would usually have the advantage, being the powerhouse that he is....but Helmsley is able to put a stop to any possible momentum, with a stiff knee to the injured ribs that knocks the wind out of the Challenger. Davey Boy doubles over in pain leaving his back exposed for a series of ax handle blows from the Champion, which sends Smith crashing to the mat. Hunter struts around the ring cockily, and as the Bulldog gingerly gets back to his feet, Helmsley gives him a condescending little bow.....he regrets that move about two seconds later though, because despite the obvious pain, the Bulldog runs straight through Hunter with two big clotheslines that drop the Champion to the mat.....and a third which sends him flying over the top and to the floor. The impact of those blows however clearly took something out of the Bulldog, meaning he is slow to react as Helmsley reaches under the second rope, drags him out to the floor, then drives him back first into the ring apron. Hunter uses all of the referee's count to punish Davey Boy on the floor, then rolls him back into the ring to inflict further punishment. It's a slow methodical pace, mainly focused on weakening the back and ribs of the Challenger. The slowed down, ground based offence gives the commentators chance to talk about the fact that Davey Boy Smith has held only one singles title during his WWF Career.....a lone Intercontinental Championship won almost exactly four years ago to the day at this very event, where he defeated his Brother In-Law and current Hart Foundation team mate, the Hitman Bret Hart.....only to lose it a few months later, ironically to current KLiQ leader and WWF Champion, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Jim Ross informs us that the British Bulldog would like nothing more than to take that title away from the KLiQ tonight......but in the state he's in right now, McMahon questions whether that is nothing more than a pipe dream. Pipe dream or not however, the Bulldog isn't going down without a fight.....and with Helmsley sat on his back in a Camel Clutch type hold, Davey Boy is able to power himself to his feet, before dropping backwards to the mat, crushing Helmsley as he does. The Bulldog rallies on with a flurry of offence and tries to hit that delayed vertical suplex, but he can't hold the man up, meaning that Helmsley is able to land harmlessly on his feet and delivers a big spine buster of his own, that very nearly gives him the victory. Bulldog ducks a clothesline attempt and counters it with a hard shoulder block.....then attempts to military press Hunter overhead.....again he can't hold the man up there.....this time however fortune is on his side, because as he loses grip of Helmsley, he drops him crotch first onto the top rope, which causes the Champion to cry out in pain. Finally being able to catch his breath gives the Bulldog a second wind....and even though a lot of his usual power based moves are off the table, he still has enough about him to cause H3 serious problems.....so much so that these men arrive on the scene..... <img alt="IYJgUWD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IYJgUWD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......Sean Waltman and Justin Credible, who come running down the aisle. Waltman immediately goes to work on keeping the official distracted, while Credible slides into the ring with the Intercontinental Championship in hand. McMahon says that it looks as though the Bulldogs face is about to be reacquainted with the Title Belt......but before Credible is able to inflict any damage, a hooded fan jumps the safety barrier, dives into the ring and snatches the Belt away from him.....before driving it into the face of the former Aldo Montoya. Helmsley grabs hold of the stranger and spins him round, ripping his hood down as he does so to reveal...... <img alt="pLtZNWI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pLtZNWI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .......Skip? He hasn't been seen in the WWF now for over six months.....and apparently isn't very pleased at his managers choice of company in his absence. Helmsley stares wide eyed at Skip for a moment, but before he has chance to react, the Body Donna backs up, then smashes the Champion around the head with his own Title. The force of the blow spins Hunter around.....straight into the waiting arms of Davey Boy, who manages to hoist Triple H up onto his shoulder. Skip kicks Credible to the outside, walks straight past a screaming Sunny, without even looking in her direction.....and back into the crowd, away from an oncoming Sean Waltman. Back in the ring the Bulldog takes a running start, then plants Helmsley smack bang in the middle of the ring with his patented Power Slam. He makes the cover.....and three seconds later the KLiQ are down one piece of Gold.

He's clearly on his way back to the locker rooms to celebrate, but Dok stops him quickly to ask him a few questions. He asks him how it feels to once again be the WWF Intercontinental Champion.....but more importantly, how does it feel to have gotten one up on the KLiQ? The Bulldog says that it feels amazing, to once again be leaving Summerslam as the Intercontinental Champion.....and while he didn't have 70,000 of his countrymen out there in the arena like in 1992, this win is just as satisfying, because it was taking a title away from the KLiQ.....just like Bret is going to do later......

Hunter tells Davey Boy that he never won that title fairly.....the only reason he has it is because some little bleach blonde midget came out of the crowd and attacked him with the belt......so unless the Bulldog wants a repeat performance of the last beat down they gave him, Helmsley suggests that he hands the title over....... <img alt="eLDIoSz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/eLDIoSz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kbzSPDo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kbzSPDo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9iWOj1g.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9iWOj1g.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5xwXg1I.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5xwXg1I.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VoT036M.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VoT036M.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wdkMubP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wdkMubP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ........suddenly the KLiQ don't look so confident, as Chris Jericho, the Sons of Samoa, Ahmed Johnson and Marc Mero walk into shot.

Apparently we are still trying to sell these two as brothers, because Jim Ross talks about Summerslam being the place for sibling rivalries to unfold, citing the brother vs brother Steel Cage match for the WWF Championship back at Summerslam 94, between then Champion Bret Hart and the challenger Owen Hart.....with the last match and this one, we're getting quite the history lesson in Summerslam lore tonight. McMahon questions just how healthy Bart Gunns neck really is, considering we have barely seen him for months.....and on the few occasions we have seen him, he's been in a neck brace in all but one outing. As if to answer that question for us however, Bart charges Billy before the official even has chance to ring the bell and this one is underway. The two men collide in an exchange of fists.....and while Billy may have switched to some more traditional wrestling boots, Bart is still wearing those big stiff cowboy boots....and he uses them to stomp the tar out of Billy on the mat....so much so that Mr. Perfect has to reach into the ring and drag Billy outside, away from his deranged brother. Bart isn't anywhere near done however.....and he ain't waiting around for Billy to re-enter the ring either, because he slides straight to the outside, where he slams Perfect and Billy's heads together, then rolls the blonde Gunn back into the ring. He goes to follow, but Perfect hooks onto his ankle, giving Billy enough time to gather his senses, and drop a knee across the back of Bart's exposed neck, as he lies half in the ring and half on the floor. That puts a stop to Bart's offence......and Billy clearly smells blood, because he follows that up by dragging Bart into the ring, spinning him around so that his head is under the bottom rope....and hitting a slingshot that nearly crushes his larynx. From there on out its all Billy Gunn, as he takes years of pent up frustrations out on Bart, with the majority of his offence focused on the neck and upper shoulders, be that a belly to back suplex, a swinging neck breaker, a stun gun.....or even at one point a piledriver, which would have given him the victory, had Bart not been close enough to the ropes that he was able to drape one foot over to break the count. Perfect shouts out instructions from the floor, doing his best to guide his client to victory as Billy slaps on a sleeper in the middle of the ring. Bart begins to fade, but before he goes to sleep he is able to hit a series of elbow strikes to Billy's gut that loosens the hold, then drops to the mat, using the top of his own head to connect with a jawbreaker. Both men go down but with Perfect shouting on encouragement from the floor, Billy is first to his feet. He tried to connect with a series of fists, but Bart counters each one with a pinch of his own and before long this descends into a flurry of back and forth blows....with Bart coming out on top, finally knocking Billy to the mat with a big haymaker. He whips his former partner into the ropes, connecting with a nice looking dropkick, before sending Gunn into a daze with a flurry of offence that sees Billy finally bail to the outside, where he starts to head up the aisle and to the back, seemingly having had enough for today. The official begins the ten count but Bart isn't happy to take a count out victory and follows after his brother, bouncing his head off the safety barriers before rolling him back into the ring. Bart goes to follow, but as he ducks between the middle ropes to re-enter the ring, Perfect again grabs at his ankle, giving Billy the opportunity to connect with the Famouser on a tangled up Bart. He drags his brother away from the ropes and makes the cover, picking up a rather tainted victory....but a victory none the less.

The Dogs of War make their entrance first, striding down to ringside with purpose and a permanent scowl etched on their faces. Al and Bill come out next.....Snow is hoisting Head up high in the air.....but he's obviously heard enough of her doubting, because she now has a piece of tape secured over her mouth. The match gets underway and Snow starts off with Wrath....and while Al might have a lot of heart, he's not exactly known for his strength....and when the two lock up, Wrath effortless shoves Snow halfway across the ring. He tries again and gets the same result, this time crashing against the turnbuckles. DeMott suggests that maybe his partner should try a different tactic, but Al waves him off, telling him that he's got this. For a third time they lock up....and for a third time Snow gets sent across the ring, this time tumbling through the ropes and landing out on the floor. He gathers his composure before walking over to Head, where he peels the tape off her mouth and lifts her up to his ear. Satisfied with her answer he nods....but still replaces the tape across her lips....then rolls back inside, where he shoves Wrath hard in the chest, telling him to try that again. The two men go to lock up again, this time however Snow kicks his opponent right in the leg....then again....and again, until Wrath is down on one knee. He backs up against the ropes for some momentum, then charges his opponent....but Wrath is back to his feet and catches him by the throat. Hi lifts Al for a big Chokeslam, but Snow is able to shift his momentum in mid air, landing behind his opponent and hitting an impressive German Suplex on the big man. Snow tags out to DeMott....who has plenty of power in his arsenal and uses it to full effect. Crush tags in for the first time but Bill catches him with a Powerslam. The babyfaces continue to shine, at least until Snow runs right into a big boot from Crush that knocks him down hard. From there the Dogs of War go to work....and for two men who have only teamed together a handful of times, they work well together and keep Al far away from his own corner....and waiting partner.....brutalising the confused star with big double team moved....and questionable tactics, with the illegal man often choking Snow with the tag rope (is that even still a thing?!?) while his partner distracts the official. Al won't give up though and despite the DoW's best efforts, they can't put him down for the three count.....not that Crush or Wrath are too concerned, because it means they get to beat on him some more. McMahon questions whether it would be in Al Snows best interest to stay down, but Jim Ross says that Al doesn't know the meaning of the word quit......allowing Lawler to quip that Al doesn't know the meaning of a lot of words. In the end Snow is finally able to make the tag, as he sends Wrath crashing into Crush after ducking a clothesline attempt....then scurrying quickly to his partner, who is more than eager to get into the match. DeMott unloads on Wrath with rights and lefts, then again sends him crashing into his partner as Crush attempts to enter the ring. Snow gets back into the fray and he and DeMott hit a double Suplex to Wrath.....which Al follows up with a suicide dive to the outside on Crush, as DeMott heads up top looking for that Moonsault of his. He leaps and lands, covering Wrath for the pinfall....but before the referees hand can hit the mat for the third time, Crush reaches into the ring breaks up the count, pulling DeMott to the outside. Wrath follows suit and soon all four men are fighting on the floor. The Dogs of War take great pleasure in introducing the skulls of both DeMott and Snow into the ring posts, while Al gets dropped throat first on the metal crowd barrier and Bill gets body slammed hard into the floor.....then with both men down, Crush and Wrath begin to stomp the shi....daylights....out of their hapless opponents, while the official screams at them to take the action back into the ring. The Dogs are paying no attention to him however, so he has little other option than to begin to count the men out. He reaches a count of eight before the DoW even acknowledge the fact that he's counting, with Wrath rolling the legal man Bill DeMott into the ring. He goes to follow, but in a last ditch effort Snow manages to drag the man off the ring apron and back to the floor......just as the referee reaches the count of ten....this one is over.....and it may be by count out, but Al Snow and Bill DeMott are your winners.

The package ends and Jericho makes his way out first.....shirtless obviously since the KLiQ vandalised his entrance gear. Goldust makes his grand appearance next, a long red carpet rolled out for him to walk as gold dust rains from the sky. Chris Jericho might have one eye on the future and KLiQ, but his other is firmly focused on finally getting his hands on his most recent tormentor, standing across the ring from him right now. These two men are two of the most reliable and consistent workers on the roster. Jericho, who in the last six months has risen from virtual unknown to knocking on the door of main event status....(in fact a good showing here might even tip him over the edge).....has rarely put on a poor display.....while Goldust, despite a brief setback with injury, has solidified his main event status through hard work and determination alone....so much so that he was recently at the centre of a bidding war between the WWF and the competition WCW.....and even though we couldn't match WCW's offer financially, we did offer a slightly longer term and Goldust showed his loyalty by choosing to remain here in the World Wrestling Federation. The crowd were really hot for this one....although considering the build for the match I would have been slightly disappointed if they weren't. Jericho and Goldust trade blows to open, there's no lock up here, these two men just want to hammer each other. Jericho gets the better of the brawl, much to the delight of the crowd, and backs Goldust into the corner, where he unleashes a stiff, stiff chop to the chest of Goldust....who furiously rubs the area in pain, before slowing down and seductively caressing his nipple area. I'm not sure what he thought this would accomplish, because Jericho exploded, showing a much more aggressive side as he hammered punches and kicks on the cornered Goldust, until the official finally had to drag him away with threats of disqualification. Goldust retreats through the ropes to the apron, looking to catch his breath, but Jericho hits a springboard dropkick from the turnbuckles that sends him crashing to the outside, then follows that up with another springboard move, this time a splash over the top rope. On the outside Lionheart looks to continue his attack, but Goldust pulls Marlena in front of him to protect himself....and in the shuffle to move her to one side, manages to hit Jericho with a thumb to the eye that slows his momentum. He knocks Jericho down with a clothesline, then hits a series of stomps on the floor, before driving his opponent into the corner post and rolling him back into the ring. Back on the inside Goldust stands over Jericho and hits a pose, running his hands slowly up his own body with a hint of heavy breathing thrown in for good measure. Jericho fights back to his feet and whips Goldust into the ropes, but the Bizarre One is able to counter a clothesline attempt into an Abdominal Stretch. Jericho tries to wriggle free but he's caught and can't escape.....that's when Goldust takes advantage of his opponents vulnerable state, slowly tracing a finger along the waist and rib cage area of the youngster.....which seems to give Jericho a boost of adrenaline, because he is able to hiptoss out of the hold and floor Goldust with a running one handed bulldog. Jericho whips Goldust hard into the corner, but Goldie gets his boot up on the follow up that spins Lionheart around. A waist lock on Jericho is a little to close for comfort, so he counters with a go behind, ducks a spinning clothesline attempt and then plants Goldust with a Northern lights suplex. A Lionsault gives Jericho the nearest fall of the match, but Goldust manages to just get a shoulder up at the last split second. Sensing the end is near Jericho takes a hold of his opponents ankles, presumably in perpetration for the Lion Tamer....but we'll never know..... <img alt="bFSpyYx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bFSpyYx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IYJgUWD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IYJgUWD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......because we have guests.....as Triple H, Sean Waltman and Justin Credible make their way out from the back, all sporting that brand new (get it at the merchandise stands now) Chris Jericho shirts.....although you won't be able to buy this particular version, because much like the one earlier, these shirts have been customised with a fetching "KLiQ" paint job. Lawler remarks that "that idiot Waltman has spent all evening running around with Helmsley and Credible, when he SHOULD be in the back, preparing for his Light Heavyweight Title defence." The trio don't actually physically interfere in the match, but their presence at ringside is enough to draw Jericho's attention away from his opponent....big mistake, because there's nothing Goldust likes more than to take advantage of a man from the rear......he catches Jericho with the Curtain Call and just like that, this one is over.

Mankind makes his way out first, he has Jim Cornette by his side but there is no sign of Kane.....he also has, instead of his usual brown leather covering over his hand, a heavy amount of tape protecting the damage that the Deadman inflicted by repeatedly slamming Mankind's Mandible Claw hand inside the lid of a casket on Raw. McMahon claims that The Undertaker has negated the use of that deadly Mandible Claw here tonight, but Jim Ross assures us that Mankind is more than a one trick pony, and is sure to have something else up his sleeve. The Undertaker is next out, with Portly Paul Bearer ever present by his side. It's quite the entrance, because following closely behind him are the same Druids from Raw, pushing the same casket from Raw down to the ring. Lawler asks what the Deadman is doing, telling everyone that this isn't a casket match, but Jim Ross claims its out there as a symbolisation of what's to come. The bell rings and these two men instantly dive into action. Both the Undertaker and Mankind will be especially keen to pick up a victory here, since their last encounter back in April ended inconclusively in a no contest. The Undertaker hits a series of strikes and throat thrusts, Mankind is seemingly willing to take five hits just for the opportunity to deliver one of his own. He breaks up the onslaught with a back elbow, then delivers a clothesline over the top rope, the momentum of which carries both men down to the floor. The Deadman gets sent into the barricade and Mankind turns his attention to the floor mats, pulling them up to expose the concrete beneath. He turns around straight into a big boot however and it's his own skull that tastes the hard floor first. After a series of kicks The Undertaker takes the outstretched and bandaged hand of Mankind and stomps on it repeatedly on the concrete. Mankind kicks him away and gets back to his feet, but the Undertaker grabs a handful of hair and drives the back of his opponents head into the floor. Mankind is rolled back into the ring and the Deadman follows, by the time he's made in through the ropes though Mankind is back on his feet and jumps on the back of The Undertaker. He attempts to reach around to apply the Mandible Claw, but the damaged hand won't let him. Taker breaks free with a series of elbows but as he charges at his opponent Mankind sidesteps him and hits a drop toe hold that sends the Undertaker's face crashing into the middle turnbuckle pad. Taker groggily gets back to his feet but gets clipped from behind with a chop block. Mankind then unleashes a flurry of stops to the limb and doesn't look like he wants to stop, in fact he only comes to a halt when the official physically pushes him away. Back on their feet Mankind blocks a kick attempt, countering it with a leg whip that causes even more damage to the knee. Mankind tosses the Undertaker through the ropes and is finally able to utilise that concrete floor with a body slam, then climbs up onto the ring apron, flying off with that patented elbow drop to the fallen Deadman. That hurt both competitors but Mankind is up first and he drags him over towards the casket, driving his head repeatedly into the wooden lid. Back inside the ring and The Undertaker gets whipped hard into the turnbuckle and Mankind kicks at him until he's down into a seated position, then backs up to give himself a running start and drives his knee straight into the skull of his opponent. Mankind goes again for the Mandible Claw, but again his mangled fingers won't co-operate, so he tears the bandaging off in frustration and proceeds to throttle the Undertaker with it, until the official forces him to relinquish it under threat of disqualification. McMahon remarks that's it's been a long time since we have seen the Undertaker brutalised like this. The Deadman rolls to the outside to escape the onslaught and Mankind follows him. He attempts to Irish whip the Undertaker into the steel steps but it gets reversed and it's Mankind himself that crashes into the steel. Again he charges the Undertaker, who counters again by side stepping the oncoming Mankind and driving him into the casket. Paul Bearer tries to harness the power of the urn, and the Undertaker responds by fighting back to an offensive position....and now it's Mankinds time to suffer. The Deadman goes on a tear as his second wind hits full effect, punishing his opponent in the floor, before rolling him back inside to continue the attack. He hangs Mankind up in the corner in a tree of woe position and repeatedly stamps on the exposed face of his opponent, until Mankind finally crumples to the mat. He whips Mankind hard into the opposite corner, then charges....but Mankind gets out of the way and the Deadman hits the turnbuckles and staggers back. Quickly Mankind mounts the second rope and comes flying off, again landing on the back of the standing Undertaker, reaching round again to attempt the Mandible Claw, this time however, with the bandages removed, he is finally able to lock it in. The force of the hold, plus the additional weight of Mankind on his back means that the Deadman buckles, dropping down to one knee.....but the hand of Mankind is still injured, bandage or no bandage, so the Claw doesn't have the effect it usually does. The Undertaker fights back to his feet and reaches behind him, pulling Mankind up and over his shoulder, until he finally has him positioned for a Tombstone Piledriver. He takes one step to steady himself, then drives Mankind's skull into the mat and makes the cover....Mankind is done.

The Undertaker releases Jim Cornette, who goes scurrying to the outside and positions himself in relative safety behind Kane, who hasn't moved from behind the casket yet. The Undertaker motions for Kane to enter the ring, but the monster slowly shakes his head, before turning and walking to the back with the cowardly Cornette in tow. Taker screams at Lane to come and fight....or Mankind will pay the price, but Kane isn't listening, as he parts the curtains and returns to wherever it is he came from. The Undertaker looks down at Mankind furiously....looks like he is going to pay after all.....and three more Tombstones later the masked man is finished completely. Paul Bearer opens the lid of the casket and the Deadman rolls Mankind inside, then drops to one knee and poses for the crowd, while the Druids return to wheel Mankind and the Casket away.

Even then, it shows how unconcerned Waltman is with his Challenger, by the fact that while Michaels, Hall and Nash have all remained in the back, preparing for THEIR up coming title matches, Waltman has spent most of the evening running around with Helmsley and Credible. Waltman's cockiness shows the moment the bell rings, as he goes from the lock up position into a wrist lock.....that cockiness is almost his undoing immediately however, as Rey performs a little flip to escape, arm drags Waltman, and then connects with a springboard hurracanrana into a pin, that very nearly gives him the title. Waltman rolls to the outside to catch his breath, but he doesn't get to rest for long, as Mysterio immediately comes flying off the top turnbuckle to the floor with a flying body press. Waltman pulls himself up onto the apron....but Rey is way ahead of him, and hits a springboard dropkick that again sends Waltman to the floor. Waltman re-enters the ring and attempts an Irish Whip, but Mysterio reverses it, sending the Champion crashing into the turnbuckles. Rey mounts the second rope and hits Waltman with the ten punch combo that he crowd counts along with. Waltman is able to hook the little luchador up on his shoulders though, and appears to be going for a running Powerbomb, but again Mysterio counters, this time with a head scissors that he transitions into a roll up for another close two count. Waltman is clearly flustered from the ongoing onslaught....not prepared at all for what Mysterio has bought to the table, and he furiously motions to the back...... <img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......as Justin Credible comes running down the aisle.

Waltman realises he's on his own and turns back towards his opponent.....who's standing on the ring apron. Mysterio leaps to the top rope and jumps with a hurracanrana, hooking Waltman's legs on the landing for the pinning combination.....and three seconds later.....and in a major upset..... Rey Mysterio has embarrassed Sean Waltman with a very one sided victory....and to the victor goes the spoils.....because we have a new Light Heavyweight Champion.

Owen Hart couldn't have a bad match if he tried....and while the same can't be said about Faarooq, if you put him in there with the right opponent, he can give you gold.....turns out that tonight, Owen was the right opponent.....because these two put on a hell of a match. Owen is out to shut the mouth of the leader of the Nation, while the leader of the Nation is looking to put his group on the map. The Nation of Domination were once the number one group here in the WWF.....hell they were the ONLY group here in the WWF. But with the emergence of the KLiQ, the Hart Foundation, even the relatively now faction of the Son's of Samoa, they have found themselves slipping slowly but surely down the ladder....tonight Faarooq wants to put a stop to that, re establishing the Nation as a force to be reckoned with. Speaking of the Nation, they are out in force tonight for this one. Kama, Nelson and Scorpio have got little else to do tonight, so accompany their leader to the ring....while Owen flys solo. The match begins and the pair lock up. Faarooq is easily the stronger of the two men and is able to over power the smaller Hart....but he's also surprisingly agile for his size, as demonstrated a few minutes into the match when he surprises Owen by charging at him and clotheslining him over the top rope. In a move straight out of the Shawn Michaels handbook however, Hart is able to skin the cat and pull Faarooq down to the floor with a head scissors.....followed by an impressive flying clothesline off the apron. Back in the ring Faarooq catches Hart in a side headlock, but Owen leans back into the ropes to push him off. Owen attempts a leap frog on the rebound but Faarooq catches him in mid air and slams him to the mat with a big spinebuster. Faarooq picks the man up and whips him hard into the turnbuckles, then repeats the move in the opposite corner, this time however Owen takes the sternum first bump and staggers back to the middle of the ring, where he is met by a military press from his opponent. Faarooq lands a piledriver that scores him a near fall, then heads to the top rope. He waits for Owen to get to his feet, then leaps with what looks to be a flying shoulder tackle, but Hart moves at the last second and Faarooq eats nothing but mat. Hart decides to fly now, and heads up top.....but with Scorpio distracting the official, Kama knocks his legs out from under him and Owen finds himself crotched on the top rope. Faarooq follows him up and scores another near fall off a Superplex. Owen tries to lock in an armbar from the grounded position, but Faarooq is able to dead lift Hart up from the mat and drop him with a one armed Powerbomb type manoeuvre. Faarooq needs a breather, so we have a brief rest hold spot where Faarooq has Owen trapped in a side headlock on the mat. Which Owen finally breaks by rolling his opponent over into a pinning position. Faarooq whips Hart into the ropes but Owen ducks a clothesline attempt and levels Faarooq with a spinning heel kick that sends the big man through the ropes and to the floor. Owen looks to hit a springboard splash over the top, but Kama, Nelson and Scorpio position themselves in front of their leader. Hart assessed the situation for a second, then backs up and comes running, soaring over the top with a flying plancha, laying out all four Nation members. He tosses Faarooq back into the ring and goes to apply the Sharshooter, but Scorpio jumps up onto the apron and Owen releases it to run across the ring and sends him flying down onto Kama and Nelson, causing the three men to hit the floor again. Owen turns his attention back to his opponent, but Faarooq is waiting and lifts Hart up, slamming him into the mat with the Dominator....three seconds later and the Nation have another victory over the Hart Foundation, bringing to an end a very good match.

It was pre recorded comments from each of the three teams in tonight Triple Threat Tag Team Title match. First up were the KLiQ, the reigning and defending Tag Team Champions. Hall and Nash weren't their usual wisecracking selves here tonight, claiming that people around here don't seem to be taking the KLiQ seriously.....so tonight, things are about to get very serious for their opponents. They say that Austin, Pillman and the Steiner's have been trying to make a name for themselves on the back of the KLiQ for too long....tonight, that all comes to an end. The Steiner's words are short and to the point, they're going out there tonight and taking the tag titles away from the KLiQ, then if Sid still wants to stick his big stupid nose in the Steiner's business again, they'll be more than happy to cave his head in. Pillman and Austin don't really say anything, they spend more time pushing and bullying the camera guy for having the nerve to bother them, before finally telling him that the next time he comes to their locker room for a pointless interview, they'll be shoving their brand new WWF Tag Team Titles straight up his ass....and that's the bottom line.

Unlike last months triple threat match however, tag rules are in effect and there can only be two men legal at any one time. The match starts and it seems as though Hall and Nash are happy for Scott Steiner and Steve Austin to be those two legal men, because neither man makes any effort to interject themselves into the match, instead they stand on the apron, waving at the pair to go ahead and fight.....not that either man needs any encouragement....they dislike each other just as much as they dislike Hall and Nash. The two men come face to face, and instantly begin trash talking one another....at least until Austin throws a punch, and then this one is on. There's unfinished business between these two men and they beat the holy hell out of each other, with Steiner driving Austin back into the corner, where he continues to hammer him with blows. Pillman runs the length of the apron looking to break up the attack, but gets knocked to the floor with one swift punch the moment he arrives. Steiner goes to whip Stone Cold across the ring to the opposite corner....Austin counters it, but Scott counters the counter and slams Steve back into the same corner he started in, where he kicks him down to the mat and stomps the s##t out of him. The official finally comes to the rescue, breaking up the attack and Austin stumbles to the nearest corner looking for a tag, unfortunately it's the Steiner's corner and Rick hits him with a big haymaker that drops him on his ass. Austin shuffles back to the next corner....wrong again, because Hall and Nash are there, who both drop to the floor, refusing to make the tag. A desperate Stone Cold gets to his feet and Scott runs through him with a Steinerline before Austin finally makes it to his corner to tag in Pillman. Pillman charges into the ring but runs right into a belly to belly Suplex from Scott. Irish whip into the corner, but Pillman is able to get both boots up into the air, connecting with the face of an oncoming Scott Steiner. Scott staggers backwards, using the ropes to keep him on his feet, but Pillman sends him out to the floor with a clothesline. Pillman attempts a slingshot pescado, but Steiner catches him in mid air and slams him hard back first into the ring post. He picks up Pillman and looks to be about to drive his head into the post, but Austin comes of the apron with an ax handle, which stuns Scotty, but only for a moment as he turns and throws Stone Cold with an overhead belly to belly on the floor. He rolls Pillman back into the ring and heads in after him, but Scott Hall makes the blind tag, slapping Steiner on the back to bring himself into the match. With Pillman still down, Hall taunts Steiner for a moment, indicating for him to get out of the ring, then turns his attention to the Loose Cannon, arrogantly slapping the man about the head before sending him into the corner, where he tags in the big man. Nash steps over the top rope to enter the match, and immediately begins choking Pillman with the heel of his boot. He backs up and the Loose Cannon charges Nash, but gets backdropped out of his boots, catching so much air that Lawler says they'll have to contact the local airport to warn any low flying planes to look out for Air Pillman. Brian rolls over to the nearest corner, where Rick Steiner is waiting for a tag. Rick comes in and runs around the ring barking, before locking up with Nash who powers him back into the corner. Nash tries to connect with an elbow strike but Steiner ducks it and hits an impressive spinning belly to belly, then connects with a flying bulldog from the second rope. Steiner makes the cover but Austin is quickly in to make the save. Steiner turns and attacks Stone Cold, which gives Nash chance to make it to his corner and tag in Hall, who blindsided Rick to regain the advantage for the Champions. Hall spends some time working over Rick, tagging in and out with his partner. Hall tries to send Rick into the ropes, but Steiner reverses it hits a Steinerline and then begins to crawl over to his corner. He gets cut off by Austin however, who had made the blind tag on the back of Hall as he came off the ropes. He drags Steiner over to his corner and props him up in a seated position, before proceeding to stomp a mud hole in him. Before tagging out to Pillman who enters the action to inflict more damage on Rick. The commentators spend some time talking about the fact that Rick Steiner has now been worked over by all four members of the opposing teams....and could really do with making a tag to his brother, who is currently pacing the apron, desperate to get back into the match. Pillman heads up top and crushes Rick with a splash. He makes the cover, but Hall is there to break it up. Pillman turns to brawl with Hall, which brings Nash and Austin into the ring. The four men proceed to fight amongst themselves, which gives Rick the opportunity to crawl towards his corner and make the tag to the restless Scott Steiner. Scott and Pillman are legal as Steiner rushes into the ring...Hall, Nash and Austin are still in there though, and Steiner goes mad with suplexes, giving a belly to belly to everyone, before hitting a Bridging German on Pillman for a near fall. Rick decides that he may as well re-enter the ring since everyone else is in there, and soon we have absolute chaos, as all six men battle. Scott and Pillman are still legal, while Austin, Hall, Rick and Nash, all find themselves brawling around on the floor. Stone Cold is bouncing the Bad Guy's head off the announce table, while Rick sends Nash flying over the safety barrier and into the crowd. In the mean time Scott has taken control of Pillman in the ring and has locked on the Camel Clutch type move that he's been utilising as of late, which Jim Ross has informed us has been christened the Steiner Recliner.....and just when it looks like we may have new tag team champions, a new arrival proves to be the difference maker....... <img alt="tTABVbX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tTABVbX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ........because Psycho Sid makes his way menacingly down to the ring, where he clubs Rick Steiner in the back of the head and proceeds to drag him back towards the locker rooms. Scott sees this and releases his grip on Pillman, turning to go and help his brother....unfortunately he turns right into Steve Austin, who has left Hall laying on the floor outside. Austin kicks Scott in the stomach and then drops him with the Stone Cold Stunner, drags Pillman on top of Scott.....and after a count of three, the KLiQ's night gets a whole lot worse.....because we have new Tag Team Champions of the World.

This one features the storied history of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart, stretching all the way back to the days of the Rockers and the original incarnation of the Hart Foundation, and showcasing their paths crossing on every level. Singles runs, Intercontinental battles, they even show clips of the rarely seen ladder match between the pair, all the way through to Wrestlemania and the birth of the KLiQ. It finishes off with some pre recorded comments from both men, who say pretty much the same thing.....that they NEED to win this match. Michaels promises that there will be no interference from the KLiQ, citing a desire to finally shut the mouth of the Hitman once and for all. While Bret says that it's time for someone to put an end to the KLiQs reign, and that someone is going to be him, because they day Shawn Michaels is the better man of the two, is the day that Bret should hang his boots up once and for all.....it's time to see who the better man really is.

Both of these men put on a hell of a performance against their respective opponents at last months In Your House event, the question was could they do that again here tonight? Of course they could......this was a fantastic match which drew a fantastic reaction from the live crowd. Bret comes out first.....alone......then the champion, who after claiming that there would be no interference from the KLiQ, lives up to his word by also coming out alone. There's a real big match feel for this one, as the two men square up before the bell and the introductions aren't made until both men are in the ring and the official has the WWF Title held high in the air, before handing the Gold to the time keeper and signalling for the bell to start the match. We have some basic wrestling holds to open this one as the two men feel each other out, counter after counter in a show of real chain wrestling as these pair try and one up each other. The wrestling ends in a stale mate however, with both men back to their feet.....so Michaels just slaps Hart right across the face. The Hitman isn't happy with that, and drops Shawn to the mat with a takedown, before the chain wrestling descends into a brawl fest as these two roll around on the mat, nailing each other with rights and lefts. The official finally separates them and they get back to their feet, where Bret returns the favour from earlier with a big openhand slap of his own. Shawn charges Bret, who takes him down with a drop toe hold that transitions into a hammerlock. Counter by Shawn who sends Bret into the ropes, but Hart is able to drop him with a shoulder block. The two men wrestle into a corner, where Michaels shoves Bret away and then slaps him AGAIN. The intensity level of the match is kicked up another gear as Bret once again answers the strike with a slap of his own, followed by an upper cut that Shawn sells by propelling himself up and over the top rope, down to the floor. Hart hits a baseball slide, then follows Michaels to the outside, only to bounce his face off the ring apron and roll him back inside again. The opponents again wrestle themselves into a corner, this time though they trade punches until the official has to finally break it up. Another side headlock by Hart is countered again by Michaels sending the Hitman into the ropes, Bret counters a clothesline attempt into a crucifix pin and scores the first near fall of the match. The commentators sell us on the face that it might take just that to win this one, a surprise pinning combination out of nowhere. Bret sends Shawn into the corner and follows him in, Michaels is able to use the ropes to leap over Hart however, sending him halfway across the ring with an arm drag, a dropkick, and finally a hurracanrana that gives The Champion his first near fall. The two stars are evenly matched so far, with neither man gaining a clear advantage. Shawn ducks behind a punch attempt, and drops Bret down with his old teardrop suplex finishing move, but the Hitman is able to get a shoulder up at the last second.....so Shawn covers him again......and again.....and again, with the Hitman kicking out each time. Jim Ross says that this shows how much Shawn wants to win, but it also serves as a wearing down move, because the Hitman is having to expend energy with each kick out. The two men are back to their feet and Bret swings a right hand, which Michaels ducks under to apply a backslide, forcing another kick-out from the Challenger. Irish whip into the corner from Shawn is reversed and it's Michaels that hits the corner, flipping upside down and then staggering back to the middle of the ring, where Bret takes his legs out from under him and attempts to lock on the Sharpshooter....Shawn kicks him away however, sending Bret back into the ropes, but Hart answers that by hitting a sunset flip for a two count. Lawler remarks that it's not very often that you'll hear him cheering for Bret Hart, but if the Hitman wins tonight, and takes that WWF Championship away from the KLiQ, then Lawler will cheer him on until he's horse. Bret lays Michaels out with a running clothesline, then hits an elbow and a leg drop for another two count. Backbreaker from the Hitman, followed up with that driving elbow from the second rope. Bret goes to apply the Sharpshooter, but Michaels kicks him away, straight into the official, who gets hit hard and tumbles to the floor. Michaels tries for the Sweet Chin Music, but Bret catches the foot, sweeps the opposing leg.....and finally is able to lock in the Sharpshooter. He leans back until The Champion is screaming in agony, smacking the mat in submission, but there's no official to make the call. Bret finally releases the hold when he realises that the bell isn't coming and heads out to check on the official. He shakes him enough to slowly make him come back around then climbs back into the ring to continue the attack....and walks straight into Sweet Chin Music. Bret collapses to the mat and Shawn crawls over to make the cover.......but the official is still on the outside of the ring. Michaels pounds the mat in frustration, and slowly....ever so slowly the referee reaches into the ring and counts, one.............two...........thr......no, Hart gets a shoulder up. The Champion can't believe it.....and apparently neither can the KLiQ, because....... <img alt="7M1mABh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7M1mABh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tsQXS32.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tsQXS32.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="bFSpyYx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bFSpyYx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MC3cI3I.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MC3cI3I.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IYJgUWD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IYJgUWD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .......here they come.....every single one of them down the aisle. Lawler screams that he knew there was no way in hell that Shawn Michaels wouldn't resort to using the KLiQ......but Michaels proves everyone wrong. He stops the group in their tracks and screams at them to get back....back in the locker room.....he told them not to interfere, he's going to beat Bret Hart on his own and no one will be able to question it. The group don't look happy about it, but they comply with the orders of their leader, and slowly head back to the locker room. Hart is back to his feet and the two men come together again in the middle of the ring and just start beating each other with rights and lefts. Bret finally backs Shawn up into the corner and lifts him up onto the top rope where he attempts a Superplex....Shawn shifts his weight in mid air however and crashes down on top of Hart for a very near pinfall. Irish whip sends Bret Hart sternum first into the turnbuckles, followed by a school boy from Shawn for another near fall. Sweet Chin Music attempt is ducked, but as Bret drops his head Shawn catches him with a DDT, then heads up top to deliver that patented flying elbow drop. Michaels backs up and starts stomping the mat, warming up the band. This time Bret sidesteps the kick and drops Shawn with a clothesline. Back to their feet there's a Russian Leg Sweep and Backbreaker by Bret. He lifts the legs up to apply the Sharpshooter, but Shawn is able to counter into a small package for two, Bret counters into a small package of his own for two, before Michaels reverses it a second time, cinches it in tight......and Bret is unable to escape before the referees hand it's the mat for three.....this one is over.....an excellent match, an excellent victory.....and the excellence of execution has been executed clean, by the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels......where oh where does Bret Hart go from here?

So that was Summerslam.....an excellent event, headlined by three excellent matches at the tail end....but for as well as it went, I wasn't overly happy with it.....there was nothing I could place my finger on but there was something missing....not that the fans agreed, they loved the show from top to bottom.....even the Light Heavyweight match, which I had my doubts about because Rey Mysterio was still a relative unknown.....not anymore though, he's a household name after that performance....although if you think I had a p####d off KLiQ before, they were even more irate come the end of the show. The only one with the professionalism not to complain about putting someone over (believe it or not) was Kevin Nash. Hall wasn't happy, Helmsley wasn't happy......and Waltman? He was downright furious at putting over Rey, saying he wasn't on his level......yeah, 1993 called Sean, remember Scott Hall putting over a relative unknown and turning him into a household name? We even tried to tell the story of an cocky Champion not being prepared for his Challenger, and it was overconfidence that eventually beat him.....but no, still an attitude from half the KLiQ.....well f##k em.....they want to keep causing me headaches, I can give them a headache right back. Shawn was obviously not annoyed with the finish of his match.....although he was surprised when I told him that he was going over clean. With the rest of the KLiQ losing their gold I needed to still keep my meal ticket strong.....a cheap victory wouldn't do that, I needed a KLiQ figurehead to go out there and show why the group is so strong, even without cheating....as for Bret, another total professional who did the job without hesitation. A true class act surrounded by scum bags. To the surprise of no one apparently (given the signs in the crowd) Al Snows masked tormentor was finally revealed to be Raven. Raven has actually been under contract since I first got the book, but he wasn't "well" and had a little stint in rehab on the WWF's dime.....speaking of rehab, Skip made his return to the Federation, costing Hunter the Intercontinental Championship....although I wouldn't put to much faith in him retaining the Body Donna gimmick.....I'm sure he will reemerge in the coming weeks of Monday Night Raw. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> Preview for Monday Night Raw, Week 4, August 1996 Bret Hart vs. Brian Pillman Comments: WWF Intercontinental Championship Match The British Bulldog vs. Kama Comments: Ahmed Johnson vs. Goldust Comments: The Son's of Samoa (Rikishi/Kokina/Maivia) vs The KLiQ (HHH/Waltman/Credible) Comments: Savio Vega vs Kane Comments: </div></div></blockquote>

Summerslam was awesome! Had you posted it a day earlier, I'd have had a hard time just now deciding who to give a DOTM nomination to for event of the month. There's always the next DOTM coming around though! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I'm not surprised to see that a lot of the KLiQ were unhappy, but at a certain point, the heel stable needs to look vulnerable. That was one of the problems that the nWo suffered from eventually, they never got their comeuppance. Now, I feel we will be seeing a much different ball game, as most of the titles have spread out from their grasp and we will see how they react to that. It could get violent.

Bret Hart - As I said before, Loose Cannon Pillman is the type of character who can lose a match and still come out better for it. He does so here to help repay Bret for being a pro at Summerslam.

Bulldog - Maybe someone from the Nation will be picking up the IC belt from Davey,

but it won't be one night after.

Ahmed Johnson - Ahmed could be a real heavy hitter if he keeps himself in line.

KLiQ - Sons just aren't on the Kliq's level, even the Kliq B-squad.

Kane - Someone's having squash for dinner.

Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of weeks, but trying to get reacquainted with GDS scene and this is my first stop. Fantastic Summerslam to4sty! Loved the show from bell to bell (and will second Beejus that I immediately checked the date for a DOTM nomination). I like that the KliQ took it on the chin here...but I was hoping for a clean sweep of them...

Poor Bret...I really want to see him have a breakout at some point. I worry that he will get forced down the card with the increasingly crowded main event scene. With Steiner, Pillman, Austin all trending up, and guys like HBK and Taker firmly entrenched, (plus now Sid), I want to see how Bret rebounds from this loss.

Some other guys that have me interested is Faarooq and Mankind. I was shocked that Faarooq got the W and even more surprised by the grade (although I assume that was more a function of Owen than Simmons). As for Mankind, now that's totally buried by Taker, I hope he spins off into a Dude Love/Cactus Jack lovable babyface.

The Intercontinental Title means that you're the best of all the rest.....but when you are the World Wrestling Federation Champion, it means that you're at the very top of the mountain.....THE best that the business has to offer.....when you're the World Wrestling Federation Champion, you can truly say without a shadow of a doubt, that you...are....the MAN.

".....to take this title from me, you're going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands, and believe me, there's not a wrestler in the back that can do it....." Shawn turns to the rest of the KLiQ, telling them that last night, they all let the group down, but more importantly, they let Shawn Michaels down....and tonight, they need to make amends for their failures..... "......because people seem to be forgetting who holds the power around here. We've been pushing folks around for so long, that we seem to have forgotten what it was like when they pushed back....we got complacent....we got soft.....the KLiQ was formed to become the most elite group in professional wrestling history....(Shawn picks the World Title up and drapes it over his shoulder)....as you can see, I'm living up to my end of the bargain....it's time that you did the same.....it's time to show EVERYONE.....why the KLiQ.....OWNS this business Michaels hands the microphone to Nash, who....along with the rest of the group.....have a fired up look of determination on his face....clearly the pep talk worked.

And it is quite the beating. A five on one assault, while the Heartbreak Kid looks on in the background, working his way through a bowl of chicken wings as the action unfolds. Once Mero has taken as much as he can take, Nash delivers the killing blow, picking Marc up with a Jacknife and Powerbombing him through a table loaded with pastry's. Michaels places the bowl of chicken down and uses a napkin to clean up his hands, making sure to dab at his mouth, before walking over to Mero and picking his head up off the floor by the hair.

The pair look down at Mero for a moment before bursting out laughing. Gunn tells Sable to stop wasting her time on a scrub like Mero....if she wants a real man, she knows where to find him. Gunn swats her on her ass and Sable instantly slaps him across the face. Perfect finds that hilarious, telling her "that's ok honey, he likes a woman that plays hard to get" as the pair leave....although Gunns cheek is decisively redder than it was when he arrived.

He tells the Undertaker that last night, he had the audacity to place his cold dead hands on the Louisville Lip.....and he's lucky that Jim Cornette isn't suing him for every casket and every bite of embalming fluid that he owns.....instead, what he's going to do is give The Undertaker a gift.......and it's the gift he's been waiting for....... ".......because it's a very specific gift, tailored especially for you....the gift is a date in 1976.....November the fifteenth 1976 to be precise.....because that was the date, that life as Kane knew it ended.....that was the date that you murdered his parents and left him to burn alive in the fire that YOU started.....obviously you know this....you were there after all....." Cornette says that he told the Deadman that Kane would fight him in his own on his own terms....and when he saw fit.....and they can think of no better time, than the twenty year anniversary of his parents death.....and no better event to do it, than at Survivor Series......"because that's what Kane has been doing his whole life......Surviving" Mankind has been sat on the mat rocking for the entirety of the promo so far, clearly worse for wear at the punishment inflicted on him just 24 hours prior. It's at this point however that he gets to his feet with a microphone of his own. He tries to lift the mic to his mouth, but his damaged hand won't allow him to grip it properly, meaning he has to quickly put it in his other hand. He tells Uncle Jimmy that it's all well and good setting up a match between the brothers for Survivor Series....."but that's nearly three months away....and every time the Undertaker comes down to this ring to get his paws on Kane....its poor old Mankind that has to suffer.....now a little bit of pain never hurt anyone, but this is a lot of pain Jimmy.....an awful lot of pain.....and three months is an awful long time to be suffering an awful lot of pain....." Cornette tells him to quit his snivelling....he tells Mankind that he's nothing more than a sideshow geek...a mule to take the punishment for the amusement of these morons in the crowd, hell, seventy years ago he'd be out here biting the heads off chickens just to make a dime. He tells Mankind to have a little more respect for the brains behind the brawn....because if he thinks three months of pain from the Undertaker would be bad, imagine what three months worth of pain from Kane would feel like. Mankind reluctantly backs down, looking like a scolded dog in the process as Kane raises and drops his arms, sending the flames high in the air from the corner posts.

Dok asks Jericho about his loss, his subsequent involvement with the KLiQ....and where he plans to go from here. Lionheart responds that he and Goldust aren't finished by a long shot, they'll be meeting again somewhere down the line..... ".......as for the KLiQ and my involvement with them, it's pretty simple Dok. The KLiQ has had free reign to do whatever they want around here for too long. They go around and bully and intimidate one guy at a time, two guys at a time.....but what happens when the bully gets a taste of his own medicine? I just saw the replay of Marc Mero getting jumped earlier tonight....and in typical KLiQ fashion it was six against one, because why fight fair right Dok? So here's what I'm going to do....I have come here tonight to officially challenge Sean Waltman to a rematch for the WWF Light Heavyweight title......" Dok:".....uhm, Chris.....he lost the Light Heavyweight Title last night.....Rey Mysterio is the Champion now......" ".......really? Huh, imagine that.....I'd have liked to have seen that.....Ok well what about if I call out old Happy Harry Hard-on himself, Triple H.....for a shot at that prestigious Intercontinental Championship?" Dok:".....well, again.....he lost the Intercontinental Championship last night.....The British Bulldog has the belt......" ".......oh.....damn, ok.......ok.........I got it......Dok do you know anything about Tag Team wrestling? Because if I can just get a partner..........." Dok cuts Jericho off there, telling him that he thinks he knows where he's going with this.....and yes, Dok Hendrix knows a thing or two about tag team wrestling....but Hall and Nash are no longer the Tag Team Champions....they lost the belts to Steve Austin and Brian Pillman last night. ".......man, the KLiQ really had a bad night eh? Well I guess there's only one thing left to do....since the horses asses have all lost their belts, I'm just gonna have to challenge the horses head......and that would be you Shawn Michaels......I heard you earlier tonight, saying that there wasn't a wrestler in the back who can take that title from you? In that case you'll have no problem putting it on the line against me?" Dok asks Jericho if he heard him right....is he actually challenging WWF Champion Shawn Michaels to a WWF Title match? Jericho says that's exactly what he's doing.....the KLiQ have obviously put him on their hit list.....this is just a preemptive strike.

For now however the KLiQ find themselves in a fair fight....although quite how any fight where one of the combatants is a near 600lb Island Boy could be classed as fair is anyone's guess.....and Kokina does spend a good portion of the match throwing his ample weight around, much to the despair of the KLiQ....particularly Credible, who is on the receiving end of a brutal looking leg drop from the big men. With Kokina's sheer weight, Rikishi's experience and Maivia's youthful enthusiasm and speed, the Son's of Samoa almost pick up a big victory tonight.....but almost doesn't pay the bills.....doesn't win wrestling matches either....because after the KLiQ triple team Kokina to send him to the floor, then Waltman and Credible drag Rocky to the outside where they double team him, it's left to old foes Rikishi and Triple H.....they've faced each other a number of times.....and this time ends just like those ones did, with Rikishi counting the lights after a Pedigree.

The five men make short work out of beating the snot out of Maivia and Rikishi, with a Powerbomb to the youngster and a second Pedigree to the veteran.....before the group turn their attention to Kokina, who has pulled himself up onto the apron, looking to help his family. 'kina manages to hold his own for a moment against the onslaught, swinging meaty fists and rock hard headbutts....but finally he's overwhelmed, and while still stood on the apron, Nash climbs to the outside, leans back and ducks through Kokina's legs......surely he can't be looking to Powebomb almost 600lbs? He is looking to......he can't do it though.....can't even get the big man a millimetre off the apron. So instead he re-enters the ring, uses his hands to take aim at the Samoan mammoth.....then charges (for Kevin Nash) across the ring and nails Kokina square in the face with a hard Big Boot. Kokina lets go of the ropes and waves his arm in an effort to keep his balance.....it's a losing battle however, and like a falling redwood the huge man topples backwards, where he explodes through the Spanish Announce table with a huge thud, that sends splintered wood flying everywhere......put a fork in the big man, because he is done.

The commentary team point out that this is a night when the KLiQ should have been at their most vulnerable, and if the WWF locker room had banded together, their reign of terror could possibly have been bought to an end, but with Billy Gunn taking advantage of a fallen Mero earlier, and now these three looking to do the same to the Sons of Samoa, the KLiQ's actions are inadvertently being justified. Windham, Bradshaw and James could care less though, all they see is a chance to get one over on the Son's.....and after Maivia takes a Pumphandle Slam from James, and Rikishi eats a huge Lariat that turns him inside out, that's exactly what happens.

Neither man has a smile on his face however, in fact if anything they look quite somber as they climb inside the squared circle. Bret pauses for a moment to acknowledge the ovation from the crowd, before holding his hand up to quieten them down and beginning to speak. He starts off by saying that he would like to apologise.....apologise to the fans in attendance, everyone watching at home....and especially to the boys in the back....for not completing a clean sweet last night and snatching the WWF Championship away from Shawn Michaels and the KLiQ. He says that he has no excuses, no complaints....Michaels came down to this ring, fought him man to man, one on one.....and as much as it pains him to say so, last night the better man won.....and right now, he doesn't know how to process that..... "......you know, I've always said that I'm the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.....and to me, that's more than just a catchphrase....it's something I've always believed. There aren't many men that can say they stepped between these ropes with Bret Hart and pinned his shoulders to the mat cleanly with no questions asked.....Owen is one, Davey is another.....and now, as much as it pains me to say it....you can add Shawn Michaels to that list...." Bret goes on to say that right now he's at a crossroads, and he's not entirely sure what the future holds for him. He says that wrestling has changed over the years....he says that people used to cheer the Heroes and boo the Villains, but lately it seems like the Villains are being cheered more than they're being booed, along with the bad language and obscene gestures that they bring with it. Bret says that the World Wrestling Federation used to be a family friendly show that he was proud to show to his children......"now, I can't even let them watch in case someone flips them the bird....or tells them to suck it......'suck it'....try explaining that to an eight year old...." He says that tonight he has a match with Brian Pillman booked in the main event.....and he'll honour that commitment....but after that.....(Bret hesitates to finish the sentence, he looks to be quite conflicted).....after that, maybe it's time for this old sentimental to hang up his boots for good. The crowd don't like the sound of that, and let Bret know that they don't want to see him go.....that's when...... ..........!!!GLASS SHATTERS!!!.......... <img alt="LjBLTcA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LjBLTcA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="SC2jCnQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SC2jCnQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ......the new WWF Tag Team Champions, Steve Austin and Brian Pillman make their way to the ring. They climb into the squared circle with the Harts and each lay their title over their shoulders before Austin begins to speak.....He tells Hart to quit his bellyaching about losing to Shawn Michaels..... "......what, you're gonna lose one match, take your ball and go home? Is that it? Well maybe that's for the best son, because you clearly ain't got it anymore......you can make all the excuses in the world about obscene gestures and bad language, but the fact of the matter is that none of that matters....you're running back home to Calgary and your momma's apron strings, because you know, I know, and everyone else knows, that Bret Hart is a shadow of his former self.....and here's some obscene gestures for ya....." Austin flips Hart the double bird while Pillman hops up and down, wide eyes and frothing at the mouth with mad glee. "......so it goes like this son, you go back there, put on your pretty pink tights and your girly pink vest.......and at the back of those tights where it says the word 'Hitman'.....go ahead and paint a big letter S in front of that, and you've got my exact opinion of you.....then when you've done all that, limp your broken old ass down that aisle, climb into this ring.....get your ass whipped by Brian Pillman, then you can go back to Canada and start a Moose S##t collection for all I care, because that's all you'll be good for......" Bret goes to respond, but Owen stops him, taking the microphone for himself. He says that Bret might be doubting himself right now, but Owen doesn't doubt him for a second.....he knows that whether Bret won, lost, or drew last night, that he's still the best there is.....the best there was......and the best there ever will be.....I know that the Hitman still has plenty of gas left in the tank.....and because of that, when Bret comes out here later tonight.....and makes Brian Pillman submit to the Sharpshooter.......it would be Owens honour and dream, to team up with his brother......and take those tag team titles away from you two idiots. Apparently Bret likes the sound of that too, telling Owen that he would be privileged to hold those Tag Team Titles with him. Austin tells them to quit the sentimental crap, because there's no way in hell that Bret Hart is beating Brian Pillman......but if he does, then they can have their shot, because Austin would love to whip Brets ass one last time.

Ahmed Johnson and Goldust were slap bang in the middle of a war over the then Intercontinental Champion, Goldust's Title, when the Bizarre One was struck down with injury that cut the rivalry short. It's a shame that these two never managed to mix it up at Wrestlemania as planned, because they put on a hell of a match here (mainly thanks to Goldust's excellent showing) and could have pulled four and a half to five stars out of the bag had they had five minutes or so longer. As it was they had a fifteen minute battle that blew the roof off the place. Ahmed has been on a bit of a roll recently, and Goldust is fresh off a victory over Chris Jericho last night, so both men are hot.

These two actually have plenty of unresolved issues to work through here, will Pillman being the one to cost Bret Hart the King of the Ring Title this year, turning on the former World Champion to side with Stone Cold Steve Austin....and Bret hasn't forgotten that.....and after 20 minutes of gruelling back and forth action, the Hitman was able to put away the Loose Cannon.....who submitted to the Sharpshooter a mere second after it was applied......not because he couldn't take the pain, but because he was saving himself to fight another day. Winner: Bret Hart Rating: A </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"></div> <img alt="eLDIoSz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/eLDIoSz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bN15JFv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bN15JFv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="7M1mABh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7M1mABh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tsQXS32.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tsQXS32.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bFSpyYx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bFSpyYx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IYJgUWD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IYJgUWD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pzXetTl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzXetTl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Vince McMahon cuts Bret Harts celebration short, telling us to send some camera men to the back, because he's getting word that the KLiQ are in the process of dismantling another victim. We finally cut to a shot of the parking lot, where the KLiQ are stood around a battered Chris Jericho, who is slumped against the side of a car with blood covering most of his face. Michaels is screaming at him that he should have kept his head down and his mouth shut....."you bought this on yourself......send him for a ride Kev...."With that drags the bloody youngster around to the front of the car....positions him for the Jacknife.....and Powerbombs the helpless Lionheart onto the hood of the car, leaving a Chris Jericho shaped dent in the metal. The KLiQ turn and walk away, with Michaels shouting over his shoulder that if Jericho wants a shot at the Gold.....he's got a shot at the Gold. Rating: B+ Final Rating: A </div></blockquote> </div>

Another week, another ratings win for the good guys in the so called Monday Night Wars. This week we were up 16.55 to Bischoff's 15.61....not that it's surprising when the only thing of any worth on the whole show, was the main event....which saw Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow team up to beat the combination of Sting, and the WCW World Champion, Ric Flair.....One Man Gang successfully defended his Television Title against Duke Droese, who in fairness to himself, has had significantly more screen time in WCW than he ever had with us. Brad Armstrong was able to pick up a victory over Public Enemies, Johnny Grunge....although for some reason, Armstrong has been saddled again with the Arachniman/Spider-Man gimmick that he was saddled with in the early 90's....don't ask me why. Shawn Michaels was loudly informing the locker room that Rocky Maivia has no idea of how to put a cohesive match together, with the psychology of a brick wall.....the kids green, I'll agree with Shawn on that one, but he's definitely improved since his arrival here in the WWF....I might have even been wrong in my first assumptions of the lad....time will tell but I think in a year or so, Shawn will be begging to be climbing into the ring with old 'No Pschology Maivia'. There were a few retirements this month, most notably Superfly Jimmy Snuka, and the former Masked Superstar Bill Eadie......ironically I had tentative plans to bring both men in for one shot deals this year.....Snuka as a possible Survivor Series mystery teammate for the Sons of Samoa.....and Eadie's name, along with Demolition team mate Barry Darsow, were being considered for a one shot Surprise Challenge for the Hardy Boys, as part of the Legion of Dooms training plan, which would have seen Matt and Jeff facing off against former LoD opponents.....typical really......Leilani Kai also announced her retirement, and then opened a training dojo the very same day....someone was busy. Anyway, onwards to September..... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> Preview for Monday Night Raw, Week 1, September 1996 Owen Hart vs. Steve Austin Comments: Ahmed Johnson & Chris Jericho vs. The KLiQ (Hall & Nash) Comments: Rocky Maivia vs. Justin Credible Comments: The Steiner Brothers vs The Dogs of War Comments: Bart Gunn vs Triple H Comments: WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Rey Mysterio vs Jerry Lynn Comments: </div></div></blockquote>

Thanks for the kind words surrounding Summerslam, I'm glad people enjoyed it because I wasn't too sure about it myself, something felt off about it, but obviously not lol <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Crossface" data-cite="Crossface" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43289" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of weeks, but trying to get reacquainted with GDS scene and this is my first stop. Fantastic Summerslam to4sty! Loved the show from bell to bell (and will second Beejus that I immediately checked the date for a DOTM nomination). I like that the KliQ took it on the chin here...but I was hoping for a clean sweep of them... Poor Bret...I really want to see him have a breakout at some point. I worry that he will get forced down the card with the increasingly crowded main event scene. With Steiner, Pillman, Austin all trending up, and guys like HBK and Taker firmly entrenched, (plus now Sid), I want to see how Bret rebounds from this loss. Some other guys that have me interested is Faarooq and Mankind. I was shocked that Faarooq got the W and even more surprised by the grade (although I assume that was more a function of Owen than Simmons). As for Mankind, now that's totally buried by Taker, I hope he spins off into a Dude Love/Cactus Jack lovable babyface.</div></blockquote> Glad to have you back, I wondered where you were, I've been waiting patiently for World War 3 to be posted <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Funny you should mention the Faarooq/Owen match. I actually had to re-run the show before I reached the Main Event, because I'd accidently booked Scott Steiner to win the Tag match instead of Steve Austin.....up until then Faarooq/Owen had graded in at a B+ and the triple threat tag match turned out being graded at an A. Quit the game there and reloaded the save and changed Steve Austin to the winner, second run through and the grades were reversed....obviously the crowd wanted to see the Steiner's take the belts lol
