(Who answers the challenge?) Someone noticably missing from the card is Bradshaw, but I don't think he'll turn up here. Snow/Candido was alluded to.

Comments: All the defences so close together is a good enough protection for the Harts to eat this loss.

Well this one was beautiful so shush I do remember one in WCW that he completely undershot and landed on the top rope....that’s more than sketchy

With a bit of luck the show should be up in the next 12 hours or so.

Scott Steiner - Hook him up a nice, long title reign.

Hart Foundation - I'm gonna say that the LOD accept the challenge.

Chris Jericho - Really he's the only one with forward momentum going on.

British Bulldog - Taker appears and costs Ahmed the title again.

Wolfpac - Nash gets involved. The 'Pac kinda have to win here or else they look pretty dead.

NAO - A nice PPV win for the new team, who I think will be the ones to take the titles from the Harts in due time.

Rude points out that all that arm is now is a target, and the Wolfpac may well have been better served to simply forfeit this match before it even starts..... ......and he might have a point too....because while they do have the customary babyface shine to start the match, it’s not long before Waltman gets caught with a falling armbreaker that stops the Kid right in his tracks.....and from there on out, McMahons Mercenary’s are in complete control. Waltman is a scrappy little S.O.B, and he does have a modicum of success attempting to break free from Pillman’s attack, but when he’s in there with Kane he would be struggling to compete with two good arms, let alone one.... ......Waltman is taking a lot of punishment, with a good deal of the offence focusing on the damaged arm, and with regular tags Kane and Pillman are ensuring that both men are staying fresh.....so fresh in fact that Rick Rude comments that once the duo have finally put Waltman out of his misery, they should have plenty left in the tank to accept the Harts open challenge should they wish to, but Jim Ross scoffs at that, claiming that fresh or not, you’re not going to defeat Bret and Owen Hart after already competing once this evening...... .......it becomes somewhat of a moot point anyway, because The Kid and The Bad Guy are former Tag champions after all, and despite it looking as though Pillman and Kane were going to steamroll their way through the Wolfpac, Waltman is finally able to capitalise on a Brian Pillman mistake, and tags in a Scott Hall who’s been desperate to get in on the action......and while The Corporate Cannon and the Big Red Monster HAD been relatively unscathed, Hall puts a stop to that as he unloads on both men..... ......he fires off a series of right hands, first to Pillman, then to Kane, rocking the big seven footer, before catching a Pillman cross body attempt and launching the Cannon across the ring with a Fall Away Slam that sends Pillman crashing into the swaying Kane.....which in turn sends Kane staggering backwards where he gets tied up in the ropes André style....Waltman is back into the action now, and as the official does his best to free the monster, the Wolfpac take great pleasure in double-teaming the Corporate Cannon, and it looks as though they might even be able to pull out the victory......at least until Kane frees himself...... .......he drops Hall with a Big Boot, before launching Waltman halfway across the ring, where he collides arm first into the turnbuckles.....and as The Big Red Monster tosses Hall to the floor, where he follows him out and sends him crashing into the ring steps, Brain Pillman again locks in that Fujiwara Armbar that he utilised on Raw.....and once again Sean Waltman has little option but to concede, before he suffers anymore damage to that already injured arm......and it’s been a bad week all around for the Wolfpac.

Mero actually starts very strong.....Jim Ross speculates as to why he is on such a bad run, because clearly he’s a decent worker.....stating that it may now be a confidence issue, stemming from one too many losses, and a victory here could be just what he needs......Rude on the other hand says it’s simple, it’s all Sable’s fault, Goldust said so..... ......The Bizarre One does manage to gain the upper hand, and then spends the entire time he is on the offence taunting Mero for the success he USED to have, before he started letting that “spotlight hogging harlot” accompany him to ringside. Eventually however, Mero has heard enough, and he’s able reverse an Irish whip before both men connect with a double Clothesline that puts them both down.....and while Goldust attempts to punch his way back into a offensive position, Mero is there to meet him blow for blow.....and as Jim Ross reminds us, Marc Mero is a former amateur boxings golden gloves winner..... .....despite the ‘incident’ on Raw, Sable is still firmly behind her man, and seems to have forgiven him for his part in Monday’s escapades, cheering him on as he edges ever closer to victory.....and clearly Marlena is not happy about this, as she stalks her way around to Sable’s side of the ring, where she tosses a bag of ‘gold dust’ into the eyes of the young valet, which has Sable screaming out in pain...... ......Mero heard her cries and turns to see her desperately rubbing at her eyes with a head full of glitter all over her....he looks like he’s about to go to the floor and help her, but he stops, clearly more interested in picking up a win, because he waves his hands dismissing the poor valet and turns his attention back to Goldust.......who has recovered enough to catch a hold of Mero and position him for the Curtain Call.....and three seconds later, Mero eats ANOTHER loss......

Cocky? You could almost be describing a younger Mr. Perfect......maybe that’s what Curt saw in these two youngsters when he first took them under his wing......it backfired on him though, because instead of moulding then in his own image, these two Outlaws decided to take their own path, one which involved kicking Perfect to the curb, and convincing Bradshaw to do the same with Barry Windham...... .......The Old Age Outlaws (as the Road Dogg has christened them) will most certainly looking to show Gunn and James that they aren’t quite as washed out as the arrogant pairing would have you believe......and in fact, that’s exactly what happens as this match gets underway. Perfect runs circles around Billy Gunn, before finally sending him scurrying back to his partner with that patented perfect high dropkick. The Road Dogg charged at Perfect, but Perfect counters that with a hip toss, before hitting the seated James with that running somersault neckbreaker, before tagging out to Windham..... .......Windham picks up where Perfect left off, almost taking James’ head off with a leaping lariat, before sending the man into the corner and following up with a turnbuckle Clothesline/Running Bulldog combination, that almost gave him the victory had Gunn not been there to make the save. The Outlaws look to be in for an embarrassing night, and even Rick Rude, who would usually be fawning all over the heel team has to admit that Perfect and Windham are getting the better of this one......but then as Jim Ross points out, he’s hardly an unbiased spectator, given the fact that he and Perfect have been tight since childhood......finally however, the Outlaws are able to take control of the match as they isolate Perfect..... ......no one sells a beating like Perfect, and he makes these two Outlaws look like absolute mega stars as they slowly start to wear him down....and these two have really found their niche as a team, with the Road Dogg giving a running commentary of what a loser Perfect is the whole time.....for a relatively new team, they utilise every trick in the book.....drawing Windham into the ring to double team Perfect as the official is restraining him......bringing the illegal man into the match the second the referee has his back turned.....stretching the five count to its very limit.....you name it, they do it.....and it looks as though it’s going to be the Outlaws night.....at least until Perfect manages to Tag out to Windham.....because the Big Texan hits the ring and begins laying the Bad Ass and the Road Dogg to waste..... .......Barry is keen to show everyone that he still has plenty left in the tank after the Outlaws recent disparaging remarks, and he soon has Gunn and James eating their words as he takes both men on at once, giving Perfect enough time to recover and get back into the action...... ......all four men are going at it now, and as Perfect and James tumble through the ropes to the outside, Windham looks to be setting up Gunn for a big DDT....... <img alt="lrss6Dn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lrss6Dn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .......which is when Bradshaw hits the ring and almost decapitates his former partner with a Clothesline from Hell.......that should have been a disqualification, but the officials attention was with Perfect and Road Dogg on the outside.....and as he turns around, all he sees is Billy Gunn making the cover.....and this one is all over.

It’s a very good match too considering the men involved....Davey Boy has been in some fantastic matches over the years, but usually with a fantastic opponent that could carry the load.....and Ahmed, well, Ahmed isn’t exactly known for his five star masterclasses....this wasn’t a five star masterclass, but it was pretty close. It obviously helped that the crowd was solidly behind the European Champion, but this was truly a back and forth encounter from start to finish..... .....neither man was able to sustain a prolonged period of offence as they punished each other both inside the ring and outside. Cornette tried to intervene at one point, stalking up behind the Bulldog with his ever present tennis racquet, but Davey Boy saw him coming and Corny stopped dead n his tracks.....before backing away from the Bulldog with his arms up, (deliberately) tripping over the ring steps, much to the crowds amusement..... .......he did manage to get his revenge though......because after hopping up onto the apron to draw the attention of the official, he tossed the tennis racquet to Ahmed, who smashes the Bulldog around the back of the head with it, before nailing the European Champion with the Pearl River Plunge........and this one is over..... .....one...... .....two....... ....::::!!!!GONG!!!!::::.... ......and the lights go out before the official can register the three........ ....::::!!!!GONG!!!!::::.... <img alt="rnLgWN8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rnLgWN8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .....and when they come back on, The Undertaker is stood bang in the middle of the ring.....Ahmed quickly gets to his feet, but walks straight into the waiting hand of the Deadman, who drives him into the mat with a big Chokeslam......leaving the official little choice but to call for the bell.

Intercontinental Championship.....Rey Mysterio, who says he’s pretty beat up from the attack by Ahmed Johnson six days ago on Raw, and he may be the littlest dog in the fight tonight, but he’s got the biggest heart, and tonight he’s going home with the Intercontinental Championship..... ......Psycho Sid is up next, and frankly he looks and sounds more unhinged than usual, snapping his head back and forth throughout the brief promo, almost as if he’s on the lookout for Raven and his Flock.....before finishing up by saying he’s the master and ruler of the world.....and the next Intercontinental Champion...... ......Faarooq and the Nation follow Sid, with Faarooq saying that tonight is the first step on the Nation’s path to glory....no more will they be held back.....held down.....hidden away.....he says that at Wrestlemania XII he became the first (and still the only) African American to win the Intercontinental Championship......and tonight he will become a two time Intercontinental Champion, when he takes back the title that HE never lost in the first place...... ......and last but not least.....Chris Jericho.....Jericho tells all his great fans all around the world not to worry....he’s worked out the sudden knee injury that plagued him on Raw (there was nothing wrong with your knee Chris) and he’s here tonight, in front of his countrymen, to show why all the fans in the great white north consider him the Greatest Canadian ever to have lived......greater than Pierre Trudeau, greater than Wayne Gretzky.....greater even that the entire Hart Family....... ”.....not

from hero to zero in the space of one brief promo as far as these fans are concerned.....not that it stops them giving the cheap pop when he’s announced from Winnipeg, Canada.....but what should have been a Bulldog-esq reception was actually somewhat of a mixed bag......Sid on the other hand gets a great pop.....as does Mysterio......there’s nothing mixed about Faarooq’s reception either....he is positively booed out of the building...... ......the referee announces the rules for the match......fatal four way rules, where all four men will be competing at once with eliminations coming via pinfall or submission, until only one man remains....and that man, will be the new WWF Intercontinental Champion.....there’s no count outs of disqualifications in this one, but the official still orders the rest of the Nation of Domination away from the ring area, much to the chagrin of Faarooq.....not that he has time to complain for long, because Psycho Sid nails him with a right hand, and this one is underway..... .......the four men soon pair off into re-hashes of their respective Monday Night matches, with Sid and Faarooq taking it to the outside, while Mysterio and Jericho to at it in the ring.....neither of those matches had a real conclusive winner, with Faarooq having to rely on the distraction of the Flock AND the help of the Nation to defeat Sid, while Ahmed Johnson bought Jericho and Mysterio’s match to a premature conclusion.....the aftermath of which, Rey Mysterio is clearly unimpressed with, as Chris Jericho left him high and dry with an angry Ahmed...... ......there’s definitely two completely different matches going on here, as Sid and Faarooq do their best to overpower each other with big hard hitting moves, while Jericho and Mysterio are having an aerial duel in the ring.....at least until Mysterio is able to counter the charging Jericho with a back body drop, that sends the arrogant Canadian flying over the top rope where he crashes down onto both Faarooq and Sid.....seeing his chance, Mysterio scrambles to the top rope and dives at his three opponents, but Psycho Sid plucks him out of mid air, catches him.....and drives his spine hard into the steel ring-post.....Jericho is up but eats a Big Boot.....while Faarooq gets launched into the steel ring steps......and as Sid asks the crowd ”Who’s the man?” Jim Ross concedes that we may well be looking at our next Intercontinental Champion right there..... .....Sid climbs back into the ring and raises his arms to the crowd....... <img alt="GDTWVB2.jpg"

gang style beat down of the big seven footer, eventually driving him down to one knee.......the Dogs of War pull him back to a standing position, and deliver a hell of an impressive double Chokeslam considering Sid’s size.......before the man himself enters the ring...... <img alt="oJqc7jC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oJqc7jC.jpg"

position.......before laying him out with an Evenflow DDT...... .....Chris Jericho slithers under the bottom rope to assess the situation, and Raven simply steps to one side, holding an outstretched arm out as an invitation to Jericho, as he and the Flock slowly disappear into the crowd......and as Jericho quickly covers Sid.....surprisingly, the largest man in the match, is the first to be eliminated........ Eliminated: Psycho Sid ......we are down to three.....and after eliminating the giant that is Psycho Sid, Chris Jericho’s confidence is through the roof.....that is to say he’s even more arrogant than before......and actually joins forces with Faarooq to double team Rey Mysterio.....the crowd seems to be turning on their countryman more and more as the match goes on, but Jericho doesn’t seem to care, he’s got gold to win baby..... .......poor Mysterio is really going through the ringers here as Jericho and Faarooq put the boots to him, before Jericho finally launches Rey at Faarooq, who slams the little luchador hard to the mat with the Dominator......Faarooq makes the cover......but Jericho inexplicably pulls him off. The Nation member asks Jericho what he’s doing, telling him it doesn’t matter who gets the pinfall, it’s elimination rules......Jericho wants the glory of eliminating Mysterio though.....he wants to make the cover.....Faarooq could care less either way, telling Jericho to go ahead. Strutting around the ring briefly first, Jericho does a little two step shuffle, before arrogantly placing one foot on the chest of Rey Mysterio........that Dominator was some time ago now though, and as the official counts two, Mysterio reaches up and pulls Jericho down for a surprise roll up......and three seconds later, Chris Jericho’s arrogance has got him eliminated...... Eliminated: Chris Jericho .......Jericho is furious.....furious and embarrassed as he rolls onto the outside, where he proceeds to throw a tantrum so big it would make Shawn Michaels blush.....meanwhile back in the ring, Rey Mysterio has got a renewed energy since eliminating the self professed Ayatollah of RocknRolla, and goes on a tear on Faarooq, who looks as though at this rate is going to be embarrassed by the former Light Heavyweight Champion himself..... ......Rey is flying around the ring, hitting Faarooq with moves that the bigger man simply doesn’t see coming....Faarooq may have all the strength, but all the strength in the world means nothing of you can’t catch hold of your opponent to begin with....finally little Rey drops Faarooq with a dropkick to his knees, before climbing up to the top rope, looking to finish the man off....... ........which is when Chris Jericho wraps a steel chair around the back of his head...... ......Mysterio crashes down near the centre of the ring, and is easy pickings for Faarooq to drag him back to his feet.....and crush him into the mat with a devastating Dominator, before making the cover......and finally bringing some gold back to the Nation.....

Yeah not so much....but then we shouldn’t be surprised.....Vince McMahon is just trying to screw all you great Canadian fans, the same way he’s been screwing us for over a year now.....” ......Bret says that he and Owen have had to take it upon themselves to make sure that they got to compete here tonight, in front of the greatest fans in the world.....fans who appreciate wholesome family values....fans who don’t celebrate the anti-hero.....fans who understand the importance of providing your children with good role-models.....hero’s..... ......which is why tonight, they’re out her to issue yet another open challenge..... ”.....and it doesn’t matter who.....the Son’s of Samoa, the Hardy Boys.....Edge and Christian? It doesn’t matter who walks down that aisle, because there are not two people competing in wrestling today that we can’t beat.....we are, the best there is......the best there was......and the best there ever will be.....and if you don’t think so, then prove us wrong......” ......Bret lowers the microphone and stands back, waiting to see who parts the curtain.....that’s the biggest problem with these open challenges declares Jim Ross, you have zero time to prepare for your opponents......while your opponents may well have been preparing for you all week.....except it doesn’t look as though anyone has been preparing for the Harts.....because nobody comes out.......and a good 30 seconds to a minute goes by.....until suddenly...... ....::::!!!!Wooooooooooooo!!!!::::.... <img alt="wnBGIqa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wnBGIqa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dYYCE2v.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dYYCE2v.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ........the crowd erupts as the 1991 WWF version of “Also Sprach Zarathustra” (my personal favourite variation of Flairs music) plays throughout the arena......and the man who hasn’t step foot inside a World Wrestling Federation ring for over four years now, The Nature Boy himself, Ric Flair, steps through the curtains....and he’s not alone.....because his longtime friend, The Enforcer Arn Anderson, is right there by his side...... .......the pair come to a halt at the top of the ramp....before slowly making their way down the aisle.

frankly shocked Bret and Owen Hart......before Flair let’s out a loud ‘Woooooo’ straight in The Hitman’s face, before taking the microphone from him......he tells the Hart Foundation and the crowd that it’s ok, their eyes aren’t playing tricks on them......because the Nature Boy and The Enforcer are here in the World Wrestling...... ”........and I don’t know if you realise it or not, but the landscape has just changed around here pal......because THE gold standard in professional wrestling has just walked right in through your front door.......” ......Bret asks Flair what he’s doing here, he said the last he heard of THE gold standard, he was dropping the WCW World Title to Bam Bam Bigelow of all people..... ”.......you don’t need to worry about where I WAS.....you need to worry about where I AM......and where I am, is stood right in front of you alongside The Enforcer......and I’ve got just one question for you.......can you really, in your heart of hearts.....look the Nature Boy in the eye, and proclaim yourself the best there is.....the best there was......and the best there ever will be?......” ......Bret smirks at that, telling Flair that yes, without a moments hesitation he can say just that......after all, the last time he and Ric Flair were in the ring together.....in Canada finally enough......it was The Hitman defeating the Nature Boy to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion, just before Flair tucked his tail between his legs and ran off back to WCW...... ......Flair flashes that big toothy grin at that, telling the Hitman that one win, does not a legend make....... ”.......twelve times the man......twelve time World Champion......THAT’S what makes a legend......THAT’S what makes you the best......because ANYONE can have a good day.....and anyone can have a bad day......but only the very best in the business can get to the top of that mountain twelve times......and believe me, the only reason you were EVER the man around here.....is because The Nature Boy left......” ......Flair says that while The Hitman defended that Championship against the likes of Papa Shango, Skinner, and I.R.S, the Nature Boy defended against REAL opponents.......Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes.....Ricky Steamboat......Flair is twelve times the man, competing against genuine legends.....not genuine nobodies.....and the one time you had a credible opponent, a man that Flair see’s a lot of himself in, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.....Bret choked, lost the belt.....and NEVER got it back..... ”.......so look me in the eye and say it again.....tell me that you’re the best there is, the best there was......and the best there ever will be......” .......Bret doesn’t even pause a beat, telling Flair that he is exactly what he says he

were expecting was to be wrestling Ric Flair and Arn Anderson......but as Jim Ross pointed out earlier, that is exactly the danger with issuing an open challenge, you never know who’s going to answer the call...... .....this isn’t the new generation.....far from it in fact, because apart from Owen Hart, who’s a sprightly 31 years of age, these aren’t spring chickens.....even the Hitman is only a few months shy of his 40th Birthday.....but what it is, is seasoned veterans prolific in the art of storytelling.....what it is, is two of the biggest names of the 80’s against two of the biggest names of the 90’s......and what it is, is a very, very good match...... .....it’s safe to say that both Flair and Anderson are past their primes.....both men are banged up.....and both men are most certainly in the twilight of their careers.....but my god you wouldn’t know it tonight.....the former Horseman have both been utilised terribly by WCW in recent times, emphasised by the fact that (as Bret pointed out) the Nature Boy had to do the job for Bam Bam Bigelow, while Anderson, who really should be reserved for the bigger matches due to his declining abilities, was relegated to wrestling Duke Droese on free tv a regular basis.....clearly these two have something to prove, and that’s exactly what they did...... ......it helped that the crowd was positively electric from the moment the Harts parted the curtain, and they stayed white hot for the entire duration of the match, especially while Flair and Anderson used every Horsemen trick in the book to cut the ring in half, isolate Owen Hart, and work over one limb (in this case the right leg of the King of Harts) as the crowd work themselves into a frenzy..... ......Owen finally manages to make the hot Tag to his brother, and Bret hits the ring, taking on both Flair and Anderson at the same time......and what started out life as a somewhat friendly test of who the ‘best’ really was, soon descends into an all out war, as Owen soon rejoins the battle, going toe to toe with Arn Anderson, while The Nature Boy and The Hitman go at it on the opposite side of the ring..... .....the official is rapidly loosing control of this one, because the tag rules appear to have gone out of the window as an out and out brawls breaks out.....so much so that all four men wind up on the outside of the ring.....and they stay outside the ring, with Owen and Anderson finding themselves exchanging right hands in the crowd......and after Bret Hart clothesline’s Ric Flair over the safety barrier, they too join their respective partners amongst the fans, who are still going crazy........and while the official has granted plenty of leeway in this, he finally has no choice but to perform the mandatory ten count......which neither team even attempts to break, as they continue to battle in the crowd......this match is over......the action however, is not......

He doesn’t go all the way out however, catching himself on the apron and pulling himself back to his feet, but Michaels launches a flying forearm smash that sends Scotty flying off the apron and crashing into the safety barrier on the floor. Michaels follows him out and bounces Steiner’s head off that same steel structure, before Sunny hops up onto the apron to distract the official, while Shawn takes a steel chair and dents it over the head of Big Poppa Pump, who collapses in a heap...... .......Shawn rolls Steiner back into the ring, and now the cocky attitude is back as he begins trash talking the Champion, telling him that he’s gonna send him back to the Tag Team division where he belongs.....he works his opponent over on the mat, before attempting to whip Steiner into the corner.....Scott reversed it however and it’s Michaels that takes the ride, with Steiner charging in after looking for a corner Clothesline.....Michaels gets the hell out of the way however, and Steiner hits nothing but turnbuckle, and almost loses the match as Shawn rolls him up from behind for a long two count......Steiner just gets his shoulder up in time and struggles to his feet, where he receives a little bit of a taste of his own medicine, as Shawn Michaels hops up onto his shoulders and flips him over with a standing hurricanrana, before unloading with a series of blows from a mounted position on the mat..... ......Michaels heads up top and comes flying off with an elbow drop, but only scores a two count.....he backs off and climbs to the second rope, waiting for Steiner to waste some more energy by forcing himself into a standing position, only to drop him straight back to the mat with a flying Bulldog, before rolling up to his knees and hitting a Scott Steiner double biceps pose, before flipping off this Canadian crowd for booing him.....he goes back up to the second rope, looking for another Bulldog, but that was going to the well one too many times, because this time Steiner is expecting it, spinning round and catching hold of Michaels before tossing him halfway across the ring with a big belly to belly suplex that finally draws him a breather...... ......the two men take the mandatory standing ten count to its limit, both rising at 9 to come together in the middle of the ring where they exchange rights and lefts......Steiner gets the better of it, but Shawn again goes to the eyes, backing Steiner into the corner and attempting an Irish Whip.....Scotty reverses it and this time the Heartbreak Kid goes inside out in the corner, landing on the apron....Scotty charges but receives a shoulder block to the gut that doubles him over, allowing Shawn to slingshot himself into a sunset flip pinfall attempt which Steiner powers out of at two and a half..... ......with both men back in the ring Michaels runs the ropes, but Steiner leapfrogs over him, before catching him out of nowhere with a Frankensteiner.....Big Poppa Pump makes the cover, but Shawn is too close to the ropes and Sunny reaches into the ring to place Michaels foot on the bottom rope, breaking up the pin.....Steiner turns to scream at Sunny.....who screams herself....in terror......as she runs as far away from Steiner as possible....... ......Sunny has a Shawn Michaels style tantrum on the floor, (leaving Jim Ross to proclaim that he can see why the pair get on so well) and manages to draw the attention of the official just long enough for the Heartbreak Kid to hit a low blow on Steiner as Big Poppa Pump is pulling him to his feet......Steiner drops like a sack of s*it, and Michaels staggers back into the corner, where he begins to tune up the band......Steiner can only force himself up to a kneeling position, but that’s all Shawn needs to let fly with the Sweet Chin Music......from his kneeling position however Steiner ducks it as Michaels foot goes sailing over the top of him, before reaching up and pulling Shawn back and down, rolling him up in a tight pinning position for a one.....a two.....and despite Shawn Michaels desperate attempt to escape......a three.....this one is over, and what a match it was.

So that was In Your House.....and what an In Your House it was, with a number of really good matches......a great match from Ahmed and Davey Boy......an amazing tag team match between the Hart Foundation and newest arrivals Ric Flair and Arn Anderson......and then there was the match of the year candidate.....the main event between Scotty and Shawn, that blew even their Wrestlemania match out of the water.....Scott has grown so much as a performer over the past 6 to 8 months, really coming into his own as a singles competitor....and while working week in and week out with some of the biggest names in the business has seen his popularity soar, it’s his improvement in psychology as a singles wrestler that has really impressed me......Shawn, well Shawn is Shawn......incapable of putting on a bad performance.....although he wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of putting Steiner over for the third time in a row, but even that was only a slight grumble, and when I explained how the finish was going to go down he was fine with it...... .......by now everyone has heard the word that the Nature Boy and the Enforcer have arrived in the WWF.....I’ve got to be honest, there was some trepidation on my as to how well the pair would perform in our new style of product, but I shouldn’t have been worried.....sure both men are past their best.....but then even past their best they will still run rings around some of our guys.....i wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the two more traditional wrestlers in today’s WWF, but then I figured that The Harts were as good a place to start as anywhere, especially since Bret and Ric never really had a programme, even when Bret won the World Title from him......and what better combination to face off, than the man who claims to be the best there ever was, against the man who perhaps IS the best there ever was...... ......Al Snow and Chris Candido our out another great segment, Perfect and Windham put the red hot New Age Outlaws over.....and Faarooq FINALLY won that gold that he’d been promising......I know a lot of people were expecting Chris Jericho to walk out with the gold, but that was never going to happen.......Chris needed to lose tonight to fully embrace his heel turn.......and it went exceptionally well......if you can turn a Canadian heel in Canada, then you know you’re on to a winner...... ......all in all, that was truly one of the best shows we have produced.....now we just have to carry that momentum into Monday Night..... <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 WWF Raw is War, Week 1, May 1997 Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair Comments: Cactus Jack vs. Ahmed Johnson Comments: Barry Windham vs. Bradshaw Comments: The British Bulldog & Billy Kidman vs. The Rock & Scorpio Comments: Marty Jannetty vs. Justin Credible Comments: The Hardy Boys vs. Southern Justice Comments: </div></div></blockquote>

Congrats on the hundo! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In my 8 years with the series, I still have yet to land one. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Really good IYH, I had completely forgotten about Ric and Arn coming in! That's the sign of a good storyteller I guess, that a huge bombshell is happening but you get so engrossed in everything else happening that you barely even hear it.

Ric Flair - New challenger needs establishing, as this feud looks like it should be red hot!

Ahmed Johnson - Jack has midcard things to do while Ahmed has main event things to do.

Bradshaw

Rock and Scorpio - Again, this should establish new challengers.

Justin Credible - He needs to look credible. Ba dum tiss.

Week 1, May 1997

America West Arena (Phoenix, Arizona)

ATT: 18,000

TV: 29.15

Before the title sequence even rolls tonight, we are treated to a shot of the parking lot from earlier today, which sees Owen rocking up to the building for tonight's show. He brings his car to a halt in the parking lot, before exiting the vehicle and heading round to the back to collect his bags.....suddenly the World Wrestling Federations newest arrivals, The Nature Boy Ric Flair and the Enforcer Arn Anderson come bursting into shot and begin to lay a double team beating on Hart....

.....Owen does his best to fight back, but it's two on one and he's already been taken by surprise, so it's no shock that he is quickly overwhelmed and beaten down to the concrete floor.....Flair asks where Bret is, before asking Owen who the best is now......The Nature Boy tells Owen that they aren't finished, not by a long shot, saying that the way he and Arn see it, last night proved nothing......speaking of Arn, he's reaching into the open trunk of Owen's car, pulling out a tyre iron.....and as Owen pulls himself to his feet, swinging a wild right hand that misses Flair by a mile, the Enforcer cracks the metal weapon across the back of Hart's knee, and Owen screams out in pain as he crumbles back down to the hard concrete......

......Flair reaches into the passenger side of the car, and plucks Owens WWF Tag Team Title belt off the seat.....he looks at it for a moment, before tossing it down on top of the writhing Champion, telling him that he might want to inform the Hitman to start turning up on time to these shows, and as a number of medical personnel come running into shot, Flair tells Owen that once he's settled in his hospital bed, he should give his brother a call, and tell him that the REAL best there is, will be standing in the ring later tonight waiting for him, as the shows intro finally begins to play.

Rating: A

Following that chaotic start we are greeted by still images from last night (courtesy of WWF Magazine) compete with voice over from Jim Ross and Rick Rude, as they talk over the trials and tribulations from In Your House.....The Undertakers first on screen appearance since Wrestlemania, the debut of Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, as well as the epic no contest brawl that they had with the Hart Foundation.....The New Age Outlaws defeating Mr. Perfect and Barry Windham (which Rick Rude surprisingly is not pleased with, given his penchant usually for the heel contingents).....Brian Pillman and Kane's victory over the Wolfpac, as well as their destruction at the hands of Big Sexy Kevin Nash....before finally, Scott Steiner and Shawn Michaels match of the year clash, which saw Big Poppa Pump pin The Showstopper clean in the middle of the ring, no questions asked......not to mention the post match assault on the Heartbreak Kid by Kevin Nash, driving the former WWF Champion through the ringside announce table with a Jacknife Powerbomb......

......before the owner of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon himself makes his way down to the ring.....and he clearly has a problem.....because his personal problem solver, Kane is by his side.....he says that there are three major pieces of the puzzle missing from by his side tonight.....Brian Pillman, Shawn Michaels.....and the WWF Championship.....and all three are missing.....because of Kevin Nash.....

"......obviously Brian and Shawn are both home recuperating tonight, following their vicious and unprovoked attacks by Kevin Nash at In Your House......and the World Wrestling Federation Championship is not around the waist of the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, simply due to the fact that Mr. Nash has been emotionally and physically stalking Shawn Michaels for the last few weeks....how can Mr. Michaels be expected to prepare for Scott Steiner and a WWF Title match, when he has to spend every waking moment worrying about the frankly cowardly actions of a man, who's no longer even employed by the WWF......."

.....well according to Vince, enough is enough.....he says that Shawn Michaels may not be the WWF Champion, but that doesn't mean Scott Steiner is getting off lightly.....because if Vince's memory serves him correctly, Brian Pillman STILL has a guaranteed WWF Title opportunity, courtesy of eliminating Stone Cold Steve Austin from this years Royal Rumble.....so if Scott Steiner thought he was going to have an easy ride from here on out, he can think again.....because in just a few short weeks, at the May edition of In Your House, it's going to be Big Poppa Pump vs. The Corporate Cannon.....for the WWF Championship.....

.....and if Kevin Nash wants to go around putting his hands on World Wrestling Federation employees, then maybe it's time that those employees get to fight back.....and Kane.....Kane is most certainly looking for the opportunity to get his hands on Big Sexy.......so at In Your House, performing in a WWF ring for the first time since the Royal Rumble......it's going to be the Big Red Machine Kane.......vs. Big Sexy Kevin Nash........

".......woah, woah, woah.....hold on there Vinny......"

......the crowd goes nuts as they realise that Kevin Nash is here.....and he's not alone.....as the Bag Guy Scott Hall is with him, as well as Sean Waltman, who has his plaster cast arm now in a sling......

".......now I don't know if you're getting senile in your old age, but like you've just said, I don't work for you.....I don't work for the WWF......and while I'm more than happy to kick your Big Red bitch's ass up and down the back there, you want me to do that in front of your paying audience? Well, it's like I always said, this is show BUSINESS.....and in business, Kevin Nash has gots to get paid......"

.....McMahon flusters for a moment, obviously wrongly assuming that Kevin Nash would be happy to fight for pride....(I've been in the negotiating room with Kevin Nash.....he doesn't fight for pride).....before telling Nash that he's sure they can come to some sort of one night only Pay Per appearance agreement.....to which all three Wolfpac men start laughing.....

"......no, that's not what we're going to do......what we're going to do is this......I'll fight your little golem there.........in fact I'll go one better.........I'll fight your little golem for free........but when I've done kicking his ass.....and that bell rings and my hand is raised.......you strut your way down that aisle, paper and pen in hand......two pieces of paper in hand actually......the first being the restraining order that keeps me from getting within 50 feet of Shawn Michaels, which you are personally going to tear up........and the second.......the second is my sweet new World Wrestling Federation contract.......and do you wanna know why that contract is going to be so sweet? Because of the clause that's gonna be right there underneath my big fat salary.....and that clause is going to say, no matter how much Shawn Michaels gets paid.......no matter how many pay rises you give him........Kevin Nash's salary will ALWAYS......be one Dollar more......."

......Vince again is flustered by this, but he soon regains his composure to scoff at the suggestion.....after all, what's in it for him to possibly risk putting that kind of contract offer on the table? Well, Kevin Nash is very glad he asked......and is happy to answer too......

"........because if I don't beat your big dumb Frankenstein's Monster there.....then I'm done, finished.......you will never see me around here again......but more importantly, you will never see me ANYWHERE again.........see don't think for one second that I couldn't walk my sexy seven foot ass down south to the good old boys.....I could click my fingers and they'd have a contract in my hand faster than you say seven figure deal, after all, that is where the big boys play......and I'm the biggest boy there is......not to mention the fact that I'm sure Hunter would give me a nice warm welcome......"

.....Nash says that if Vince wants to risk Big Sexy walking out on Monday Nights for a different brand.....knowing full well that as soon as people hear the Big Sexy is in the house....down south......then maybe, just maybe, those Tuesday morning ratings won't make for quite such pleasant reading......

......obviously that wasn't something that Vince had considered, and slowly starts to realise that this might not such a bad wager to make.....after all, Kane is virtually indestructible.....and Kevin Nash has got to be rusty after a near four month lay off.....and finally accepts, telling Nash that he hopes he likes golf....because he's going to have plenty of time to play once his retirement kicks in at In Your House.......when Kane tears him to pieces.....

".......so we have a deal?......."

"........we have a deal, contract vs career.......and when Kane has finished destroying you, then you Kevin Nash, will have neither contract nor career......."

"........hey, that's a risk I'm willing to take......because after Kane, I'm moving on to Brian Pillman......and then Shawn.......you're next little buddy.......I'll be seeing you real soon.....and remember, when you're flat on your back counting the lights.....I'll be IN the back, counting my money......and I'll be getting paid one dollar more than you, for kicking your ass night in and night out........"

Our first match of the night sees Marty Jannetty back in the ring against former KLiQ member Justin Credible. These two have faced off before back in January, on that night it was Marty Jannetty who picked up the victory, so you’ve got to assume that Credible will be looking to even the score tonight.....Marty has something to prove as well however, managing to stay clean and sober since his last stint in rehab, he put on a hell of a showing against Shawn Michaels in his unsuccessful attempt to wrench the WWF Title away from the then Champion at February’s In Your House, reminding a lot of people along the way, why the former Rocker was such a crowd favourite a few years back......

......obviously this match was never going to be off the calibre of that match with the Heartbreak Kid, but it was still a decent opener....there was a lot of back and forth action but in the end Marty proved, that just like the Sweet Chin Music utilised by his former partner, his Into The Void Superkick can come absolutely out of nowhere, as he took Credible‘s head off, before covering him for the three and a solid victory.

Winner: Marty Jannetty

Last night at In Your House, Chris Candido assured Al Snow that tonight, they were going to get Head back from Edge and Christian one way or another.....not that Candido care what happens to Head one way or another, bit the sooner all this nonsense is settled, the sooner they can concentrate on important things, like getting a shot at the WWF Tag Team Titles.....both men make their way down to the ring now.....and while they are both dressed to compete, Snow also has an FBI cap on his head, along with a Jimmy Hart style megaphone in his hand.....

.....the duo enter the ring, where Candido looks his “partner” up and down for a moment, before shaking his head and picking up a microphone. He begins by quickly letting Snow know that (as usual) he looks ridiculous, before addressing Edge and Christian, telling the young Canadians that’s its bad enough that he has to team with Al Snow to begin with, but since they stole his toy head he’s been utterly unbearable......so do everyone a favour, bring the stupid head out and put an end to this stupidity......

.......thankfully for everyone’s sanity, the two heartless Headnappers do indeed make their way out from the back......but it seems as though Al Snow’s penchant for fancy dress is catching, because both men are wearing matching balaclava’s......and so is Head, who is currently tucked under Christian’s arm......well, probably Christian, it’s hard to tell considering both men have their faces covered.......

.......Snow immediately brings the megaphone to his mouth, shouting to Head to let him know that she’s ok......before there is a loud burst of feedback from the megaphone......both Edge and Christian cover their ears, before pulling a microphone out each, with Edge letting Snow know that.....

”.......dude, just use a microphone like everyone else.......”

......through bursts of static Snow lets the two Canadians know that, no......if they are doin this then they are doing it right......before asking what their demands are for the safe release of Head? Edge and Christian both pull their balaclavas up, revealing their faces, where they just kind of stare at each other for a moment......Snow let’s them know that he’s secured their safe passage out of here, telling them that there’s a chopper on the roof ready to take them anywhere.....and it’s filled with Maple Syrup topped pizza and root beer......all they have to do is put Head down unharmed, and it’s all theirs.......

.......Edge and Christian continue to glance at each other, before Edge finally addresses Chris Candido, telling him that he’s sorry, this was just supposed to be a bit of fun.....a joke......a prank.......but clearly Al Snow is not playing with a full deck.......he places Head down on the entrance way, saying that

”.......we’re just going to put this down here.....and then we’re going to go ok, because this is just.......weird......”

......Edge and Christian slowly back away, just as Snow channels his best Arnold Schwarzenegger, screaming at the pair to ”....GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!....”

.....the duo disappear to the back, as Al tosses the megaphone down in success and charges up the aisle to Head. Candido finally joins him as Snow holds her high in the air, before asking his partner if they can finally focus on the WWF Tag Team Titles now? Al says that they can, and he pulls the balaclava off Head.........to reveal a generic male mannequin head......Snow stares at the object in shock, asking it ”what have they done to you?”......just as Edge and Christian come flying out from the entrance way, nailing Snow in the back of his skull with the REAL Head, before turning their attention to Candido, who is soon overwhelmed in a two on one situation....before he too in on the receiving end of a little Head, as Edge brains him too with the mannequin, before the conniving pair burst out in laughter, pick faux head up off the ramp, and head to the back with both plastic craniums......as Jim Ross sends us to commercial.

Rating: B+

We are back from commercial and we are instantly welcomed by the sounds of the Nation of Donination’s music, as all five members make their way to the ring, lead proudly by the brand new, two time Intercontinental Champion Faarooq. The Nation members enter the ring and all raise their fists in salute, before Faarooq takes a microphone, and lets everyone around the world know that he is a man of his word......

”.......I said that all the Nation needed to do to bring home the gold, is have ONE fair shot......and looky what we have here, the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship......”

......Faarooq says that it’s been a long time coming, but the first piece of the puzzle is in place.....step one was to show whitey that when you’re not holding a brother down, there’s no end to what he can accomplish......and now they are going to keep the ball rolling, when Brother Rock and Brother Scorpio FINALLY get their shots at Gold......because at In Your House, for the British Bulldog and Billy Kidman......

”......it ain’t gonna be alright on the night.....and it ain’t gonna be all white on the night......because the Nation is bringing some colour into the event.......and after getting just ONE fair shot......they’ll be taking some colour OUT of the event as well......and that colour......will be gold......because you’re looking at the next European and Light Heavyweight Champions right here......”

......Scorpio takes the microphone, saying that last night, that young pretender to the throne, Billy Kidman....got just a little taste of what’s in store for him......because Scorpio was the FIRST Light Heavyweight Champion......Scorpio was the BEST Light Heavyweight Champion.......and at In Your House, the King is taking back his crown to become the first TWO TIME Light Heavyweight Champion......

.....next the Rock takes the mic, and shows why he’s the real talker in the group, claiming that at In Your House, the Rock is going to be the toast of Europe, when he FINALLY becomes the European People’s Champion......a European peoples Champion that they can finally be proud of......but then that’s not hard, because Europe, and everybody in it......absolutely sucks.......but don’t worry, because with the Rock as YOUR Champion, all of your dull little lives will be just that little bit better.......

........Faarooq rounds the promo off, saying that people had better get used to seeing the Nation with all the gold.....and if they DON’T like it, then all they’ve got to do is step up......because the Nation will put them down.

Rating: B+

It’s time for Tag Team action now, as the unlikely pairing of European Champion the British Bulldog, teams up with Light Heavyweight Champion Billy Kidman, to face off against their respective In Your House opponents, The Rock and Scorpio......and while Davey Boy and Kidman may be champions, you’ve got to think the edge tonight goes to their adversary’s, as both men are members of the Nation of Domination, as opposed to virtual strangers......

......the match goes pretty much as you would expect, with the Bulldog and Kidman starting off strong, only for the Nation to cut them off.....but not without some help from Faarooq who has remained at ringside, who pulls the middle rope down as Kidman is whipped into them, sending the Light Heavyweight Champion crashing to the floor......

.......the Nation isolate they young newcomer, with the Rock overpowering him, while Scorpio dances around the fallen Champion. Scorpio laid a pretty good beating on Kidman last night following a successful title defence against Christopher Daniels.....couple that with the fact that neither the Rock nor Scorpio actually competed last night, means that the Nation are fresh as daisy’s for this one, and despite the fact that the Bulldog was able to make the hot Tag to get back into this one, it’s the Nation of Domination that pick up the win, after Faarooq once again interferes, tripping a running Billy Kidman, who walks straight into a Rock Bottom that gives the Nation the win.

Winner(s): The Rock & Scorpio
Rating: B

Not content with simply picking up a victory over their In Your House opponents however, the Nation continue the assault, with Scorpion putting the boots to Kidman much as he did last night, while Faarooq and the Rock team up to give the Bulldog a lesson in what “by any means necessary” actually means......in fact things look pretty bleak for the Champions........

......at least until Marty Jannetty of all people, makes his way out to make the save, almost taking Scorpio’s head off with a Superkick, before fending off both Faarooq and the Rock just long enough for the Bulldog to get back into the fight, and eventually the two men fight off the remaining Nation members, who hightail it to the back......

......Jim Ross remarks that Faarooq said not so long ago, that if anybody wanted to try and take the gold away from the Nation, then all they had to do was step up.....well it looks like Marty Jannetty is doing exactly that.....Rick Rude however counters that he’s forgetting the second half of that statement, because Rude is fairly confident that Marty Jannetty.......is going to be put down.

Rating: B+

We come back from commercial, and Jim Ross informs us that we are going to the back now to receive some words from Barry Windham and Mr. Perfect following their defeat at the hands of the New Age Outlaws last night........we don’t get there however......because Ross is suddenly interrupted by the screeching guitar that signals the arrival of the Hitman Bret Hart, who strides down to the ring with purpose.....

......Bret snatches up a microphone, declaring that he’s just watched his brother laying in a hospital bed, getting his knee strapped up because Ric Flair and Arn Anderson went and showed the world their true colours, when they jumped him from behind in the parking lot and wrapped a tyre iron around his leg....

.......Bret says that week in and week out, he and his brother have been coming out here like men, and facing every challenge to walk out of the back there head on......they haven’t had to hide in the shadows attacking people when their backs are turned.....

”.......because we are, exactly what we say we are......the best there is, the best there was......and the best there EVER will be......”

......Bret continues, saying that clearly, Ric Flair isn’t as good as he thinks he is, or he wouldn’t have to resort to cheap shots.....but then Bret shouldn’t be surprised, because it’s just another case of someone trying to screw over the Hart Foundation.....another knife in the back......from Vince McMahon, to Shawn Michaels......everybody's sudden favourites the Wolfpac.....Stone Cold Steve Austin.....Brian Pillman......name anyone back in that locker room that HASN'T tried to screw that Harts over......Bret says that enough is enough.......Ric Flair said he’d be waiting in the ring for the Hitman, well where is he? Hiding under the ring waiting to jump me? Dressed up like a camera man ready to attack? Bret hops out of the ring and picks up a steel chair, saying that if Ric Flair has something to say, then the Hitman is all ears......

....::::!!!!Wooooooooooooo!!!!::::....

........Bret doesn’t have to wait for long......because here comes the Nature Boy......and here comes the Enforcer......they march down the aisle and climb right inside the ring, as the somewhat (rightfully) paranoid Hitman raises the steel chair in defence......Flair simply chuckles, telling Bret that they aren’t here to fight.....The Nature Boy is going to be doing that in the main event.....for now, they’re just going to talk......

”........and since you’re so quick to come out here and complain that you’re always getting screwed.....let me give you a little history lesson pal.......NO ONE......gets to the very top of this great sport......without screwing SOMEBODY over......”

......Flair says that you don’t get to be twelve times the man, without stepping on a few toes along the way.....Bret is out here week in and week out, complaining that nothing’s the same, (before putting on a mocking voice and continuing) everyone is mean, the mean boy sticks his middle finger up at me.....the bully’s pick on me and pull my hair......everyone’s got an attitude......

”.......well here’s a heads up Mr. Best there Is.....absolutely nothing has changed......the only difference now, is that WE never needed to do this.....(Flair sticks a middle finger right in the Hitman’s face).....because all we had to do, was this......(before raising four fingers).....THIS was all you needed to see, to know that you were about to be in a world of pain.......”

........Anderson chips in next, asking Bret if he honestly thinks people getting jumped in the back is a “new attitude”? He says to ask Dusty Rhodes.......ask Ricky Steamboat......Magnum TA.....he says that people have been getting their butts kicked in the back for decades......and nine times out of ten it was Ric Flair and Arn Anderson doing it......

”......absolutely NOTHING has changed Hitman.....except perhaps you......maybe it’s just that YOU......can’t handle it anymore......

.......Ric says that he can complain about being screwed all he wants, because at the end of the day, it’s not about IF you were screwed......it’s about who you screw over next to get back to the top......and right now, in Tag Team Wrestling, the Hart Foundation are at the very top......

”......but I’m going to tell you now.....and I’m going to tell you to YOUR face, with a smile on MY face.......Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, we’re taking those titles one way or another......and if we have to screw you to do it......then that’s exactly what we’re going to do.........I’ll see you tonight pal.....”

Rating: A*

VS.

Back to the action now, and it’s two men with plenty of bad blood between them, as the former Texas Long Riders collide. Truth be told, Windham hasn’t had a whole lot off success since Bradshaw turned his back on him.....sure he’s won the odd match here and there, but he’s been jumped and beaten down more times that he can count, not to mention coming up short last night, as the New Age Outlaws picked up a huge upset victory over Windham and Mr. Perfect.....thanks in part to Bradshaw.....who almost turned Windham inside out with a huge Clothesline from Hell......

......tonight it’s one on one action however, and these two big Texans beat the holy hell out of each other. Windham looked like he may well even pick up the victory here, when he hoists Bradshaw up onto the top rope looking for that patented Superplex........

.......which is when the New Age Outlaws come running down the aisle, clearly looking to repay the favour from last night as each man grabs a hold of one of Windham’s ankles each.....buying Bradshaw enough time to shove his opponent hard to the mat.....Windham climbs back to his feet, just long enough for Bradshaw to run right through him with a Clothesline from Hell.....and just like that, this one is over.

Winner: Bradshaw
Rating: B-

And it looks as though things are about to go from bad to worse for Barry......as the Outlaws enter the ring, looking to lay a few boots of their own in on Windham, who’s got to be sick to death of Gunn and James by now.....and probably just as sick of his former partner, because Bradshaw has taken up residence in one of the corners, and he’s winding up his arm looking to deliver another Clothesline straight from Hell.......

.....which is when Mr. Perfect comes tearing down the aisle......and if nothing else it’s a gutsy thing to do......stupid......because it’s three against one, and he soon joins Windham on the mat......but gutsy none the less.......The Bad Ass and The Road Dogg drag Perfect to his feet, and hold him in position while Bradshaw runs the ropes.......before absolutely nailing Perfect with that Clothesline......and once again, the two veterans have been completely overwhelmed by this brash trio.....Bradshaw and The New Age Outlaws pose for a moment, before heading up the aisle and to the back......before the wheezing sound of Perfects voice stops them.......

”.....hey.....HEY......hold on.......”

.......he and Windham somehow both drag themselves to their feet.....and although they are both relying on the ropes to stay standing, clearly they have something to say....

.....Perfect says that they’ve put up with this crap for too long now.....

”......and if you three morons haven’t got an inch of respect for us.....and since you’re so determined to fight in threes.....then how about another match......In Your House......the three of you against us........”

.......predictably the Outlaws find this hilarious....and even Bradshaw cracks a smile, as The Road Dogg tells them that they must have hit them in the head one to many times if they think they have ANY chance of competing against them in a handicap match......

”......In fact I’ll tell you what, since your age is already a pretty big handicap, we’ll even let you pick another partner and even up the odds a little bit......that’s if you can find anyone stupid enough to team with you.....”

......Perfect and Windham look at each other for a moment, and the Road Dogg cracks up laughing, saying there’s no one is there.....not a single damn person they can think of to team with them......

”.......looks like it’s gonna be a handicap match after all boys.......”

“.......no, it won’t be.........”

.......and there is the audible sound of a headset being slammed down......

.......as Ravishing Rick Rude shockingly stands to his feet, microphone in hand......

”.......you know, usually I’d be sat behind this desk applauding three guys like you.....young, cocky, confident......you get things done, however you have to do it......but you picked a fight with the wrong guy.......”

......Rude says that if there’s ONE thing he’s always been able to rely on, it’s that Curt Hennig has ALWAYS had his back......just like Rude has ALWAYS had his......so no......it won’t be a handicap match at In Your House.....

.......if The Road Dogg wasn’t laughing before, he certainly is now......saying that Rude is in even worse condition than those two has-beens in the ring......even Perfect looks unsure, asking Rude what he’s doing, telling him that his back won’t hold out.......but Rude tells Perfect not to worry about that....he says that his back might not be 100%.......

”......but even at 50% I’m still more of a man than all three of you punks put together......”

.......Bradshaw snatches the microphone and tells Rude it’s fine, bring his crippled old ass into the match, because he can snap three old b*stards in half just as easily as he can snap two, while Rude simply smiles, telling the Outlaws and Bradshaw that In Your House.......

”......will be Simply Ravishing......”

........with that a stunned Jim Ross sends us to commercial, as Rick Rude joins Perfect and Windham in the ring to gyrate those hips.

We come back from commercial, and Rude has rejoined Jim Ross on commentary, where Ross questions him on the condition of his back, considering the fact that Rude has not stepped foot inside the ring for close to three years now, but he gets the same reply that Perfect got, that Jim Ross doesn’t need to worry about Rick Rude.....

........Ross accepts Rude at his word, saying that he hopes that his broadcast partner isn’t putting himself at risk of permanent injury, as the two return to concentrating on our next match, which sees the Hardy Boys facing off against Ted DiBiase’s Southern Justice.....and it’s a pretty decent match too.....

.....after coming up short last week in the Hart Foundations open challenge, Southern Justice will be looking to pick up a victory here.....especially against the smaller Hardy Boys.....but Matt and Jeff have come a long way from their days of being utilised purely as enhancement talents.....and after defeating rivals Edge & Christian at Wrestlemania, they are looking to climb further up the ranks.....which is exactly what they do here, when much to the despair of DeBiase, Jeff nailed Dennis Knight with the Swanton Bomb for the one, two, three.

Winner(s): The Hardy Boys
Rating: B

DiBiase is clearly hugely embarrassed that his contingent have racked up another loss, and he quickly calls to the back for reinforcements......reinforcements which appears to be in the guise of Jeff Jarrett and Rich Steiner, who both come running down the aisle......they can run as quick as they like though, they’re still never going to catch the Brothers Hardy, who slide out of the ring......and if DiBiase is embarrassed by his teams defeat, he’s even more embarrassed by the debacle that follows.......as Jarrett, Steiner and Southern Justice all chase their tails trying to catch Matt and Jeff, who dart in and out of the ring, always just out of their reach, before finally diving into the crowd......

......the Corporation feel foolish enough for one day, and wave off the Hardys who are stood front row, stating that this isn’t over......Rich Steiner is furious however, and looks as though he is about to climb the barrier and go after the Hardy’s alone......at least until a member of the audience puts himself between Steiner and the Hardys.....Rude says that he would suggest that fan got the hell out of Rich Steiner’s way before he gets seriously hurt.......but Jim Ross says that’s no ordinary fan........

.......Ross says that’s former Ultimate Fighter, the inaugural UFC Superfight Champion.....and the man named by ABC as “The World’s Most Dangerous Man”, Ken Shamrock......and while Rude has no idea who Shamrock is, stating that he doesn’t look so tough, Rich Steiner definitely has an idea about who it is......because he stops dead in his tracks as he comes face to face with Shamrock, before the two have words, that ends with Ken Shamrock shoving Rich back......and the rest of the Corporation having to drag the seething Steiner away before an all out brawl breaks out.....leaving Matt and Jeff to fully celebrate their victory beside the smiling fighter.

It’s time for a good old fashioned brawl next, as Ahmed Johnson takes on the deranged Cactus Jack......both of these men have had their attention on others recently, with Cactus embroiled in a war with Goldust, while Ahmed Johnson has spent weeks antagonising and insulting the Undertaker, only to tuck his tail and run when the Deadman turned up ready to fight.....tonight though it’s not about Goldust, and it’s not about the Undertaker......or at least it shouldn’t be......

......these two men put on a decent showing, although with neither man being known for their technical prowess it was somewhat of a punch, punch, kick, kick affair......an exciting punch, kick affair, but still little more than a brawl.....if there’s one thing Cactus does well, it’s take a believable ass kicking......and Ahmed’s newfound mean streak means he’s more than happy to provide the kick.....it takes a lot to keep Cactus down however, and Ahmed learns the same thing here that Raven learnt at Wrestlemania.....putting Jack down is one thing.....keeping him there is an entirely different matter.....in fact by the end of this he actually has the big man rocking......and in serious trouble.......

.......at least until the Bizarre One, Goldust comes slithering down the aisle way......and while Ahmed Johnson is clearly as disturbed by the antics of Goldust as the rest of us regularly are, he doesn’t complain when Goldie provides enough of a distraction that the big man is able to finish Cactus off with a Pearl River Plunge.

Winner: Ahmed Johnson
Rating: B

Ahmed has the victory.....and celebrates the fact.....as Goldust slides under the bottom rope, where he takes up a squatted position beside Cactus......he cocks his head at Ahmed, biting down on his gloved finger before suggesting that maybe Cactus needs a little more punishment......Ahmed does not look pleased to be sharing the ring with the androgynous one, but he’s turned into quite the bully as of late, and is hardly going to turn down the opportunity to kick a man while he’s down......so it should come as no surprise when he begins lambasting Cactus with blows once more, before finally laying him out flat with a second Pearl River Plunge........

........and that’s when the beautiful Sable comes walking out from the back, dragging a very reluctant looking Marc Mero by the arm........it looks as though she is looking for Mero to put a stop to the beat down being inflicted upon Cactus, and can in fact be heard telling Mero that he owes her this after the way he’s been behaving recently.......Mero still looks unconvinced however, and looks even less convinced when he climbs into the ring and comes face to face with an angry Ahmed Johnson.......who wastes no time in running through him with a big Clothesline.......before hitting his third Pearl River Plunge of the night as he flattens Mero into the mat, before simply leaving and heading to the back........

”........’Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into’......Sons of the Desert: 1933......”

......it appears Goldust has something to say to Mr. Mero.....telling him that yet again he’s been lead down the wrong path by the harlot Sable......he tells Mero that she has dulled his sparkle......he was a star once......

”......’You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am’........On the Waterfront: 1954......because that’s exactly what she’s made you Marc.......a bum......why won’t you let me make you sparkle again......why won’t you let me make you a star........”

.......Goldust reaches down and traces a finger down the chest of Mero, just stopping (thankfully) before he reaches the waistband of his tights.....before letting out a long sigh, telling Marc that if he would only let him, he would guarantee that he will NEVER forget the name........Goldusttttt.

Last night The Hart Foundation faces Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, in what turned out to be a fantastic match, despite the fact that The Nature Boy and The Enforcer are clearly a good five years past their best......tonight, it was Flair and the Hitman going one on one.....and again The Nature Boy showed us that his best days are not necessarily behind him, as he and Bret had a fantastic singles match in the main event......

......Bret was looking for revenge after Flair and Anderson assaulted his baby brother before Raw even went on the air, while the Nature Boy has his eye on the Hart Foundation’s Tag Team Titles......and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get those belts from around the waist of the Harts......

......while everybody knows that Bret Hart defeated Ric Flair to capture his first World Wrestling Federation Championship back in the tail end of 1992, very few people have actually seen that contest, as it one of a few World Title Changes not to happen on Pay Per View, so for a lot of people, this is somewhat of a dream match.....especially considering that Bret has cemented his place as one of the greats now, where as his victory five years ago was somewhat of a shock to say the least......

.......unfortunately, a great match here is marred slightly by the ending......in fact you could say that the Hitman got screwed out of a victory......because after Bret sent Flair inside out in the corner in that classic Ric Flair spot, he dropped the Nature Boy on the apron with a Clothesline.....before picking the twelve time World Champion up and attempting to suplex him back into the ring.....that’s when Arn Anderson clipped Harts ankle, before holding onto it for dear life, as Flair crashed down on top of Bret.....and with Anderson holding down the leg, Bret was unable to kick out of the pinning predicament.....meaning that Ric Flair just stole a victory, on his first Monday Night Raw match in four years.

Winner: Ric Flair
Rating: A

Bret is rightfully furious at the decision, and is quick to let the official know what a bogus call it was......unfortunately that means his attention is not on Flair......and certainly not on Anderson, who reaches under the ring to bring out that same Tyre Iron that he assaulted Owen Hart with earlier this evening.......and Bret is still arguing his case when the Enforce cracks that metal weapon across the back of The Hitman’s knee, who collapses to the mat in pain.......and when someone has a bum knee, you know what the Nature Boy is thinking.......

.......Flair lets out a loud ”Woooooooo”, before grabbing the Hitman by the bad leg, and locking in the Figure Four Leg Lock, reaching back and using the ring ropes for leverage.....and as Hart cries out in pain, the show comes to a close on the image of Bret helpless in the Figure Four.....just as the Enforcer begins to lay some stomps in for good measure......it’s been an eventful night.....but a very BAD night for the WWF Tag Team Champions.

Another greatly received show this week, largely down to the show long story arc involving the Hart Foundation and the former Horsemen, which was the open of the show, the middle of the show, and the end of the show......fortunately the angles surrounding the main event were fantastic, not to mention the main event itself, because the rest of the show was lacking in places, but that’s partly down to some shorter than usual match lengths, thanks to the amount of time that the Hart/Horsemen story took to tell........and yes, I know I’m calling them the Horsemen......and no, we can’t call them the Horsemen on TV for legal reasons, but to me, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson are the Horsemen, and no one can sue me for writing it here, so get used to hearing it.......

........without a doubt the biggest shock of the night was Rick Rude announcing that he will be returning to the ring at In Your House, to join long time friend Mr. Perfect, along with Barry Windham to take on the trio of Bradshaw and the New Age Outlaws......no one was expecting Rude to step between those ropes again, at least not in a wrestling role, but truth be told, Rick has been badgering me for months now......and I do mean months.....to get back into the ring. He says he’s been training for an in ring return for the best part of a year now and his back, while not at 100% (nor will it ever be) he assures me that he’s still got a few matches left in the tank, and while I was, and still am somewhat hesitant, hopefully putting him in the six man will greatly reduce the toll the match is bound to have on his body......

......he picked a good show to announce his comeback too.....because we scored a whopping rating of 29.15.......almost a full 12 points clear of WCW’s 17.62.....and to think, there was a time we were a good four points BEHIND them in the ratings......I’m sure they’d love to only be four points behind us right now.......to be fair, Nitro this week was pretty poor......the departure of the Horsemen has hit them pretty hard, especially Flair, who was one of their bigger names.....it’s obviously left them with a gap in the main event, because they have elevated both Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko to the top of the card......in fact, Guerrero even went over Luger in the main event of Nitro......that that it’s a bad thing in theory, most of my top guys now have all been promoted to the top of the card since my arrival.....Steiner, Austin, Pillman......Kane, Cactus Jack, Raven.......Chris Jericho......all main event players now that were midcard and below 18 months ago.....but not one of them was elevated too quickly......that’s a good twelve months of hard work to get them where they are today......and while Guerrero and Malenko are fantastic workers, and no doubt (especially Guerrero) future main event stars, I can honestly say that Jeff Hardy, a man I would put currently as a midcarder at BEST (possibly even a step below) is more over than both Guerrero and Malenko......so while I salute the idea of elevating the younger faces, I just hope it’s not too much too soon for the sake of Dean and Eddie.......

......in a little bit of contract news.....and what could be another nail in the coffin of WCW, I am actually currently negotiating with another two of their guys, and I’m fairly confident I’m going to get them, but I’m keeping everything under wraps for now......in news from our end, Jake “The Snake” Roberts contract is up........”Jake “The Snake” Roberts? I didn’t know you had him under contract” I hear you cry.......no, that’s because he got sent to rehab the day I arrived......got out of rehab nine months later......was out a whole day and did a Marty Jannetty, turning up blasted out of his mind the very first show after his stint......and spent the next nine months back in the clinic.......he’s been out about a month and a half now, and so far has been clean and sober ever since......and while I’d love a man with Jakes mind on the books, I can’t in good conscious offer him a written extension......I have offered him a Pay Per Appearance deal however, so if he stays clean we may well see the Snake again......it won’t be this week though......

One of these matches does NOT take place, and is instead replaced with Bret Hart vs. Brian Pillman......which match and why?

OOC: So you may have noticed that Ravishing Rick Rude is set to make a comeback at In Your House.......in reality Rude has been able to wrestle for some time now.....at least 8 months.....but I didn’t want to put him in the ring because, well, he wasn’t wrestling around this time (nor did he ever again) I do however keep getting news stories about Rude’s frustration at not being in the ring, I’m guessing because he was only under a PPA deal with me, and a deal that stated he never wrestled.......now I COULD have gone into the editor I suppose and set him to “never wrestles” since his current roles are Colour Commentator, Personality and Occasional Wrestler......but then I figured you know what, I’ve yet to edit anything in this game.....(and if I was going to edit something it would have been keeping hold of Helmsley).....so I’m not going to start now.....and I’ve read that Rude was actually training for an in ring return before his untimely death, so much with the Helmsley departure I thought f*ck it, Rude can have another match and I signed him to a written “whatever is needed” deal, which means he can still be my commentator, he can just have the odd match as well......in the interest of keeping it SOMEWHAT realistic however, don’t expect to see him wrestling every week, or even every month......in fact he may only wrestle once or twice a year because his back is legit still in pretty bad shape.....but yeah, anyway......that’s why Rick Rude shall be gyrating those hips at least one more time.

Congrats on the hundo! In my 8 years with the series, I still have yet to land one.
Hahah, loved the Kidman stuff this time around too. I'll concede. Tis a beautiful mess. That angle rating is beyond bizarre. Must be a good sign.

Ha thanks, I’ve had untold 100 rated segments, but that’s my first 100 match and I’ve had every version of the game from TEW 2005 onwards lol.....I’m yet to have a 100 rated show/event so that’s my next goal and I still have no idea how Kidman and Scorpio dragged out an A grade good for Kidman and his sketchy Shooting Star Press lol

Really good IYH, I had completely forgotten about Ric and Arn coming in! That's the sign of a good storyteller I guess, that a huge bombshell is happening but you get so engrossed in everything else happening that you barely even hear it.

I was banking on people forgetting that Arn and Flair has signed to be fair, so job done there lol......although a few people got it.

Main Event is replacing with Bret/Pillman, with Bret going over via DQ. I'm guessing a brawl erupts out in the opening segment that changes the main
