Huge talent, incredibly engaging character, shocking liability. Edit to add: fantastic that he's turned his life round IRL.

Razor Ramon

Owen Hart

Jeff Jarrett

ZigZagMan · March 11, 2019

“Welcome everyone, to San Diego, California! Welcome everyone, to Monday Night RAW! I’m Vince McMahon here with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and we’re just three weeks away from Survivor Series! Tonight we’ll see Owen Hart in action as he prepares for his Survivor Series matchup against the British Bulldog!”

“That’s the ‘King of Harts’, McMahon, and it takes a King to know a king!” adds Lawler.

“We’re also going to see Razor Ramon in action as he takes on a man who was responsible for his attack a few weeks ago, Crush!”

“’The Bad Guy’ didn’t look so bad when he was laying on the concrete…”

Tires screech as Razor Ramon’s theme music hits.

“It looks like we’re not going to have to wait long. Here comes Razor Ramon!” says Vince.

Razor Ramon steps out of the curtain in red ring attire with a red vest, trunks, gold chains around his neck and the Intercontinental Title belt around his waist. He glides down the aisle with his arms stretched in front and behind him before climbing in to the ring which is illuminated with a Razor Ramon spotlight logo. He does his signature taunt which gets a pop from the crowd before the lights come up and he grabs a microphone. He addresses Diesel and Shawn Michaels first before moving onto his opponent for tonight and issuing a challenge.

“Heartbreak Kid, Big Daddy Cool, you know by now that The Bad Guy…is always ready for a fight, but now it looks like you want a war. But first...there's business...Razor Ramon...has to take care of. Crush, tonight…Razor Ramon is going to get a piece of you. But that’s not enough, chico. I want more and I want it at the Survivor Series. Diesel…Shawn Michaels…Crush…Yokozuna, let’s go to war. All of you on one side of the ring…and on the side of The Bad Guy…the 1-2-3 Kid…and Adam Bomb. That’s not all though, chicos. As for the fourth man… I have…a surprise…for you.”

“Did you hear that, McMahon? A mystery partner! Who could it be? Razor Ramon doesn’t have friends!” shouts Lawler.

“I guess we’re going to have to wait to find out!” adds Vince. “Fans don’t go anywhere!”

“That’s right, up next it’s The King’s Court and I have a very special guest!”

Razor tosses his toothpick at the camera lens and exits down the aisle as we go to commercial.

SEGMENT RATING: 94 A

We return from the commercial break as Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler stands in the middle of the ring with royal décor as his majestic theme music plays in the background. The King taunts the crowd before inviting his special guest to the ring, ‘Double J’ Jeff Jarrett.

Jeff Jarrett’s Tennessee waltz hits and he struts his way down the aisle in his white ring attire, a white jacket with two big orange Js on it, and a flashing cowboy hat and glasses, looking cocky like he always does. He climbs in the ring and struts some more before taking his place next to The King.

“Double J, first thing’s first, let’s go back to last week on RAW.”

A video clip of Jeff Jarrett smashing Mabel over the head with the guitar is shown at the mosaic monitor screen at the entrance as Lawler gives play by play.

“Wham! If only the San Diego Padres had more guys that could swing like that!”

“King, you’re looking at a country music superstar and if there’s anything I know, it’s how to make a smash hit!”

“Now ‘Double J’ there are some people you’re biting off more than you can chew. After all Mabel is about three times your size.”

“You know King, it doesn’t matter, because at the end of the day, I am the greatest wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation and I can beat any man back in that locker room no matter how big they are, including Mabel. They may have the brawn, but I have the brains, the athletic ability, and simply put, the greatness! As a matter of fact, I’ll prove it. I’m issuing a challenge to any big man in the back to come down here and face 'Double J' Jeff Jarrett right now! That's J-E-Double-F, J-A-Double-R-E-Double T.”

Double J takes off his ring attire as the ring attendants start removing the King’s royal furniture. Just then circus music hits and the crowd pops as Doink steps out of the curtain.

Jarrett and Lawler look at each other puzzled as Doink takes a few steps down the aisle before turning and pointing to the curtain. Dink steps out with his hands cocked, ready to fight.

Lawler and Jarrett turn to each other and laugh! Dink pauses on the opposite sides of the aisle as Doink as the circus music cuts and a low rumble is heard as the drum-heavy theme music of the Natural Disasters begins to play.

Typhoon steps out of the curtain.

“Double J asked for a big man and he sure got one! It’s Typhoon!” shouts McMahon.

Typhoon slowly stomps his way down to the ring, slapping the hands of Doink and Dink who make their way to the back.

SEGMENT RATING: 75 B-

Typhoon climbs into the ring and approaches Lawler who dives through the ropes. Jarrett holds his hand up near Typhoon’s chest, seemingly having second thoughts about his challenge but the bell rings. The two men lock up.

In a decent match, Jeff Jarrett defeated Typhoon in 7:49 by pinfall with a handful of tights.

Comments: Typhoons would control much of this match with his pure strength and size with Jarrett spending much of the time on the mat, begging off, and looking for any dirty edge he could find. Eventually, Jarrett would score a roll up victory on the big man, grabbing onto his tights out of the sight of the referee to steal the victory.

MATCH RATING: 64 C

We return from commercial as Bob “Spark Plug” Holly stands on the second rope with his arms raised, receiving cheers from the fans.

Owen Hart’s music hits and he makes his way through the curtain down the ring to a chorus of boos from the fans. He has a sour look on his face, as usual.

“Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Owen Hart but first we’ve got a special guest on the line who’s very familiar with the man making his way down to the ring: Bret “Hitman” Hart. Bret, thanks for joining us.”

“Thank you Vince. Always a pleasure.”

“Hitman next week you’ll have a chance to stand face to face with the man who will challenge you for the WWF World Heavyweight Title. Tell us your thoughts.”

“That’s right, Vince. Lex Luger has been talking the talk but he’s going to need to walk the walk and the first step of that is putting pen to paper and making this official.”

“Bret, you’re going to sign your World Heavyweight title away as you’ll officially have to prove you’re not a coward by inking that contract for Survivor Series.”

“You know what, King, I’ve proven time and time again that I’ll take on all comers. I’ve been a fighting champion since day one and I’ve never backed down from a challenge.”

“That’s absolutely right, Hitman, any final words for Lex Luger?”

“Absolutely. Luger, I’ve seen you parading around with that Million Dollar Championship belt like you earned something. The belt I’m holding in my hands right now is the product of decades of hard work, dedication, and making sure that I’m the best of the best. Come Survivor Series, you’re going to find out what so many others have learned along the way, and that is that I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. You may have the raw strength advantage, but I’m the best technical wrestler in the WWF. In just a few weeks you’re going to be excellently executed and I’m going to retain this WWF World Heavyweight Title!”

SEGMENT RATING: 100 A+

Owen mocks Spark Plug, pointing his hands his direction as the crowd cheers his opponent. Owen then turns and raises both fists in the air as the fans boo loudly, causing Owen to stomp in frustration. The two men circle each other and lock up to start this one.

In a decent match, Owen Hart defeated Bob Holly in 10:29 by submission with a Sharpshooter.

Comments: Owen Hart and Bob Holly put on an athletic back and forth contest. Both wrestlers had good momentum going into this match and it showed. Ultimately Owen's technical skills would prove to be too much for Spark Plug who would drop this one after submitting to the Sharpshooter.

MATCH RATING: 81 B

We return from the final commercial break. The fans boo as Crush makes his way down to the ring with Mr. Fuji. He stares intensely at the fans who boo loudly as Mr. Fuji waves the Japanese flag high. Crush enters the ring the ring where he performs some basic martial arts poses before bowing to Mr. Fuji.

The crowd erupts in an instant as tires screech and Razor Ramon’s theme music hits. The aisle is dark, illuminated by gold razor blade spotlights. The Bad Guy leaves the crowd waiting in anticipation for a bit before exiting the curtain with his arms outstretched. He glides down the aisle with the Intercontinental Title around his waist, taunting Crush who looks on in the squared circle. Razor climbs into the ring and the referee holds back his opponent who approaches with a fist raised. Razor wiggles his fingers at him, mocking his fear at Crush’s attempt to intimidate. Razor points his thumbs to his chest then throws his arms out wide as the crowd continues to cheer as sparkling pyrotechnics shoot up from the mat behind him.

As the lights come back up Razor removes his vest, gold chains, and the Intercontinental Title to hand to the ringside attendant, the thumping bass of Shawn Michaels’ theme music hits. “Oh, oh, Shaaaaawn!”

Shawn Michaels and ‘Big Daddy Cool’ Diesel make their way down to the ring in street clothes as Razor talks to the referee who shrugs in response.

“Now what in the world are they doing here?” shouts Vince.

“I guess we’re going to have some special guests McMahon!” adds the King delightedly.

They make their way around the ring to the announce table where Michaels sits down in an extra chair, throws a headset on and kicks his cowboy boots up on the table. Diesel stands behind him, tightening the fingerless leather glove on his fist, not breaking eye contact with Ramon who stands in the ring, taunting the two men, inviting them into the squared circle.

“Shawn Michaels, what are you doing here? You have no business here tonight,” says Vince.

“Au contraire, Vin man. ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ and ‘Big Daddy Cool’ have plenty of business here tonight. You heard Razor Ramon’s challenge earlier. We just came to get a closer look at one of our opponents with Survivor Series right around the corner.”

SEGMENT RATING: 100 A+

The bell rings as Razor continues to glare back at his two foes at ringside. He re-focuses his attention on the big man from Kona, Hawaii who meets him in the middle of the ring. Razor taunts Crush then tosses his toothpick into his face. Crush is infuriated and Razor ducks underneath a clothesline attempt and nails Crush with some hard rights.

In a decent match, Razor Ramon defeated Crush in 15:08 by pinfall with a Razor's Edge following botched interference by Diesel.

Comments: Crush and Razor put on a solid, back-and-forth contest. Razor would overcome the brute strength of Crush to rally in this one but a distraction from Mr. Fuji would allow Diesel to put his mark on this contest, though it wasn't in the way he would like. With Crush holding Razor's arms behind his back, The Bad Guy would duck and Crush would take a big punch right to the face. This would give Razor the edge he needed to hit the Razor's Edge and score a pinfall victory.

"Razor Ramon picks up another victory here tonight thanks to ill-advised interference from Crush's Survivor Series tag team partner Diesel!" shouts McMahon.

"Stay tuned, McMahon! Razor will get what's coming to him soon enough." replies Michaels, who frustratingly drops the headset before exiting to the back with Diesel. Razor has his hand held high in the ring but pulls it away from the referee and taunts Michaels and Diesel getting another pop from the crowd.

"Fans we're out of time! Tune in Saturday for WWF Superstars!" exclaims Vince to close out the show.

WRESTLING OBSERVER NEWSLETTER

------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>

Here are some interesting tidbit's from Dave Meltzer in his 'Wrestling Observer Newsletter'...

<ul><li>In an effort to keep one of their top stars happy, the World Wrestling Federation has given Shawn Michaels a pay raise. Michaels will be a hot free agent if he becomes available in nine months so the WWF will be working hard to make sure he's pleased with his status in the promotion. </li><li>Rumors have been swirling after it was revealed on RAW that the team of Razor Ramon, Adam Bomb, and the 1-2-3 Kid will be joined by a mystery teammate in their Survivor Series matchup against Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Yokozuna, and Crush. One name that has been floated around is none other than Mr. Perfect, but I can confirm those rumors to be false as Mr. Perfect continues to recover from a serious back injury. </li><li>Nikolai Volkoff is in the final weeks of his contract agreement with the World Wrestling Federation. It remains to be seen if the veteran will remain in their plans after Survivor Series. </li><li>A prominent member of the WWF locker room raised concerns this week with Bob 'Spark Plug' Holly's ability to connect with the fans. Holly is a solid in-ring competitor but his upside may be limited. </li><li>Monday Night RAW was well received once again this week with a strong 3.69 TV rating as the WWF continues to carry momentum into their big fall pay-per-view. WWF Superstars remained steady this week posting a 0.34 rating.</li></ul>

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm having a lot of fun writing it.

Work has taken me away from my hobbies for a bit but I'm really looking forward to Survivor Series and a couple things I have planned going forward.

I use Inkscape for most of my graphics. It's essentially a free, open-source version of Adobe Illustrator.
