Hello again!
Monday Night RAW April 3rd 1995 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
The show opened with a video package featuring the highlights of WrestleMania XI from the previous evening. Lex Luger captured the Intercontinental Championship from Scott Steiner in his first match back from a neck injury, The Ultimate Warrior returned to save Crush and Lawrence Taylor from a beating at the hands of Big Van Vader, The Thrillseekers kept the Tag Team Titles in the Triangle Elimination Match which ended with a frustrated Bob Backlund slapping his protégé PJ Walker and, after defeating Razor Ramon in their long-awaited singles bout, Shawn Michaels repeatedly interfered in and spoiled the WWF Championship Match between The Undertaker and Bret Hart in which the Deadman retained.
Comments aired from Jeff Jarrett and his manager Tennessee Lee. They agreed that it was a travesty that The World's Greatest Singer, The World's Greatest Entertainer and The World's Greatest Wrestler was bumped from the biggest show of the year. Double J vowed to show the doubters just how great he is when he defeats Tatanka later tonight.
The first segment of the show featured Vince McMahon conducting an in-ring interview with WWF Champion The Undertaker, who still looked very strange without Paul Bearer by his side. The Deadman acknowledged the interference from Shawn Michaels in the main event last night and said that Michaels had ruined the match. Undertaker said that at the next pay-per-view, In Your House, Bret Hart will get his rematch for the WWF Championship. The crowd popped for that announcement, but their reaction soon turned to boos when Shawn Michaels made his way down to the ring. Michaels was upset that The Hitman was getting another shot at the title, when instead it should be The Heartbreak Kid after he defeated Razor Ramon at WrestleMania. Michaels said he interrupted the main event because that's where he should be, every single night. Michaels gloated that the WWF Title would very soon be around his waist and there was nothing The Undertaker could do about it!
Suddenly, Bret Hart hit the ring, took Shawn Michaels down and pummelled him! Hart was clearly furious that Michaels had cost him the WWF Title Match at WrestleMania and was making The Heartbreak Kid regret ever getting involved, while The Undertaker looked on and watched. Diesel then came to Michaels' aid, dragging Hart off and attacking The Hitman. Only then did The Undertaker decide to intervene and he and Hart cleared the ring of Michaels and Diesel! Hart then lifted the mic off the mat and accepted The Deadman's offer of a title rematch at In Your House! Undertaker and Bret Hart shook hands as the fans voiced their approval.
Lord Steven Regal made Bob Holly submit to the Regal Stretch in 0:08:32. Rating: *** 1/4 [Lord Alfred Hayes interfered against Bob Holly.]
This was Lord Steven Regal's in-ring debut and his displayed his impressive technical ability in the early going, working the arm of Bob Holly, keeping him grounded and stretching him. Regal rocked Holly with some stiff forearm strikes. Holly came back into the match with a series of dropkicks and looked to hand Regal a loss in his first match with the flying cross body press. However, Lord Alfred Hayes knocked Holly off-balance by grabbing his leg and Regal sent Holly crashing to the canvas with a butterfly superplex! Regal quickly locked in his Regal Stretch submission finisher for the win.
After the match, Bobby Heenan interviewed Lord Steven Regal at ringside and gushed over Regal's performance. Regal stated that Bob Holly is supposed to be an all-American athlete, but Regal didn't even break a sweat in defeating him. Regal said that he has been sent on a mission by the Queen to win titles in the WWF, and nobody is safe when the Queen sends his lordship on a mission. Regal and Hayes then left to investigate if their crumpets were now nicely toasted.
Scotty Flamingo made an unscheduled appearance after the commercial break, heading down to the ring and taking the mic. Flamingo complained that he has been asking for opportunities for weeks, but his requests keep falling on deaf ears. Flamingo vowed that he would make an impact tonight. Flamingo then called out the Ultimate Warrior and said he would ruin the Warrior's comeback and send him packing!
The Ultimate Warrior pinned Scotty Flamingo with the Running Splash in 0:00:40. Rating: **
Scotty Flamingo jumped The Ultimate Warrior as he entered the ring, but Warrior simply shook off Flamingo's offence. The Warrior quickly finished the bout with a series of clotheslines, the shoulderblock, press slam, and splash.
Vince McMahon entered the ring for some post-match comments from The Ultimate Warrior. McMahon asked Warrior why he had decided to return at WrestleMania. The Warrior responded that he had listened to the voices - the voices of his Warriors - as the crowd popped. He continued that the spirit of the warriors has been calling him for the last two and a half years and they want to live, one more time, in the power of the Warrior.
The fans were hanging on every word from The Ultimate Warrior, but one man who was not impressed was Randy Savage. Agitated, Savage left the commentary table and jumped in the ring to confront the Warrior. Savage said that the last time he had seen the Warrior, it was right before Survivor Series 1992, but then Warrior walked out on him and left the company. Macho Man wanted to know where Warrior had gone and why he had left him in the lurch. Warrior responded that those places where men go which have any real importance are not places you would find on a map, but deep, deep, deep in the mind. Savage grew frustrated at Warrior's rambling response and slapped the taste out of his mouth, demanding a straight answer!
Before the Warrior could respond Big Van Vader had made his way down to the ring, looking for retribution. Vader entered the ring to confront the Warrior as a group of officials struggled to keep them apart. Randy Savage tried to help out but ended up getting knocked silly. Crush then showed up and got a few good shots in on Vader as a receipt for last night's lead pipe attack before the big Hawaiian was dragged to the back by agents. Order was eventually restored during commercials, but Randy Savage was not happy at being waylaid during the scuffle.
Backstage, Todd Pettengill tried to grab a few words with a dejected Scotty Flamingo. Flamingo ignored Pettengill's questions and walked out of the arena still dressed in his ring gear.
Jeff Jarrett made Tatanka submit to the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:13:57. Rating: *** 1/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Tatanka.] [The Roadie interfered against Tatanka.]
Tatanka lit up Jeff Jarrett with a series of brutal chops, turning the country music singer's chest red-raw. The Native American appeared to be heading for victory as he hoisted Jarrett up for the End of the Trail, but as Tennessee Lee took the ref, The Roadie sneaked into the ring and clipped Tatanka's leg. Tatanka was favouring his knee and in a great deal of pain. Double J wasted no time at all in locking on the figure-four for the submission.
Backstage, Shawn Michaels was beside himself with rage. His face was beginning to swell following the beating received at the hands of Bret Hart. Michaels spat that he should be next in line for a shot at the WWF Title, not the Hitman. The Heartbreak Kid said that Hart blew his chance at WrestleMania and added that he wouldn't bet against lightning striking twice at In Your House.
Circuit information: The WWF Championship picture has gotten very interesting in the aftermath of WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels clearly feels that he is deserving of a shot at The Undertaker's title, while Bret Hart has unfinished business with the Deadman. Despite The Undertaker's offer of a rematch to the Hitman at In Your House on May 14th, that title match is not yet official. Expect an announcement from WWF President Jack Tunney's office soon.
The return of The Ultimate Warrior has reverberated through the entire company. Big Van Vader is keen to get his hands on Warrior after the man from Parts Unknown cleared the Mastodon from the ring at WrestleMania, while Randy Savage is another man not happy at Warrior's return. Warrior left the company on the eve of the 1992 Survivor Series when the Ultimate Maniacs were set to face Ric Flair and Razor Ramon, a situation that has clearly irked the Macho Man ever since.
Poor old Scotty Flamingo. At least he lasted longer than Honky Tonk Man at SummerSlam '88.
Lord Steven Regal was victorious in his in-ring debut and impressed many mat observers in the process. Regal has all the scientific wrestling ability in the world and it could only be a matter of time until he realises his goal of capturing championship gold in the WWF.
More news on the PPV expansion. Besides the 5/14 and 7/23 dates for added PPVs, there will be three more in 1995 aside from the traditional SummerSlam, King of Ring and Survivor Series, 9/24, 10/22 and a mid-December date.
Make sure you tune in this weekend for Superstars where Black Friday Management, Scott Steiner and Adam Bomb will all be in action plus, the Hollywood Blonds have comments for the entire tag division! Till then, so long everybody!

WWF Superstars April 8th, 1995 Glens Falls, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Scott Steiner pinned The Berzerker with the SSD in 0:08:04. Rating: *** 1/4
During the bout, Tammy Fytch cut an insert promo regarding Scott Steiner dropping the Intercontinental Title to Lex Luger at WrestleMania. Fytch claimed the only reason Steiner lost the belt is because he was put in a two-on-one situation. She said that in his seven months as champion Steiner had beaten all challengers and had taken the belt as far as he could. She added that Steiner would not cry over losing like the British Bulldog, but instead focus on taking his career to the next level. Fytch also said that The Beverly Brothers are history and there is a place for a new tag team in Fytch Wrestling Enterprises.
Black Friday Management (Great Muta, Manuel and Victor) defeated Buck Quartermaine, Bill Payne and Mike Khoury when Muta pinned Khoury with the Moonsault Press in 0:07:05. Rating: ** 1/4 [Kimona interfered against Buck Quartermaine.]
Harvey Wippleman made his way to the interview podium to talk to Todd Pettengill. Wippleman was accompanied by Adam Bomb and the huge man who had saved his skin at WrestleMania. Wippleman introduced the man as Titan, listing him at seven-foot-four and weighing well over 400 pounds. Wippleman said that Titan is superhuman and is the biggest athlete in the world today. Wippleman continued that at WrestleMania, Titan manhandled and physically abused Bam Bam Bigelow in manner nobody has ever been able to do before. Wippleman stated that when Bigelow quit on him, he cost him millions of dollars, but Titan is the man who will get his revenge. Wippleman warned Bigelow that if he is stupid enough to face Titan again, it will be Bigelow's last match. Wippleman closed the interview by saying that Bigelow is the first in a long line of people who will be destroyed and eliminated by Titan and with the greatest manager in all of wrestling guiding his career, Titan will be unstoppable!
Adam Bomb defeated Scott Taylor via pinfall in 0:04:11. Rating: 1/2* [Titan interfered against Scott Taylor.]
As Scott Taylor attempted to take a breather at the ropes during the course of this drawn-out beating from Adam Bomb, Titan knocked him out cold with a devastating headbutt! Bomb then pinned Taylor with one foot on his chest.
Highlights were shown from last week's brutal South Philly Hood Match between The Hollywood Blonds and Public Enemy, before Steve Austin and Brian Pillman made their way out to be interviewed by Sean Mooney. Despite losing last week's battle, Austin declared that he and Pillman had won the war by breaking Johnny Grunge's arm. Pillman said they had been sidetracked by Public Enemy but were now focusing their attention back to the Tag Team Titles which they claimed are rightfully theirs. The segment was interrupted by Public Enemy, with Johnny Grunge coming out in a sling. Rocco Rock declared that this war is far from over and would only end when one of the teams is incapable of walking away.
Rocco Rock said that the last showdown between two prisoners is called a Body Count, and he proposed settling their feud in a similar way. Rocco said that they would lock Johnny Grunge in one cage and put one of the Blonds in another cage. The cages, Rocco added, would be rigged with explosives! Then, Rocco would have a singles match with the other Blond. Both cages will be set to explode after fifteen minutes, so the object of the match is to win before the time limit expires so you can grab the key, run and release your partner!
Steve Austin and Brian Pillman were horrified by the prospect, but the crowd seemed to like the sound of it! Rocco Rock gave the Blonds a week or two to think it over and either accept the match or admit that they're the gutless, spineless cowards everybody thinks they are!
Man Mountain Rock pinned Mark Starr after the Wallapalooza in 0:01:41. Rating: *
Man Mountain Rock made short work of Mark Starr tonight, but after the match he was immediately confronted by Taz. The One Man Crime Spree laid out his Hardcore Championship belt in front of Rock, folded his arms and dared Rock to challenge him. Referees were quickly on the scene to diffuse the tense situation.
Circuit information: So let's recap what Public Enemy have proposed for their feud-ender with the Hollywood Blonds because I have never heard anything like it. Rocco Rock will face one of the Blonds in a one-on-one match, while their respective partners are locked inside jail cells. Both cells will be primed to explode after 15 minutes, so you must win the match and grab the key to free your partner before both both cages go BOOM! Will the Blonds accept??
Taz responded to Man Mountain Rock's challenge tonight and it seems he is more than willing to put his Hardcore Title on the line. You can expect to see this contest very soon.
Tammy Fytch is on the lookout for a new tag team and I'm sure there'll be no shortage of applicants. After all, she did wonders for the careers of The Beverly Brothers.
Make sure to tune in next week for Monday Night RAW where Diesel, Marty Jannetty and new Intercontinental Champion Lex Luger will all be in action, plus Bob Backlund is in the King's Court and WWF President Jack Tunney is expected to make a big announcement regarding the main event of In Your House! Till then, so long everybody!

Monday Night RAW April 10th 1995 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
The show began with footage from last week of the altercation featuring WWF Champion The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Vince McMahon said that WWF President Jack Tunney is expected to make an announcement regarding the WWF Title Match at In Your House before the end of the show.
Diesel pinned Friar Ferguson after a kick to the head in 0:05:27. Rating: -1/4*
WWF President Jack Tunney addressed Shawn Michaels' claims that The Heartbreak Kid should be the number one contender to the WWF Title. Tunney acknowledged that Michaels was a fantastic competitor with a great win-loss record and will be considered for a title shot very soon, but there is still unfinished business between The Undertaker and Bret Hart. Tunney said that the fans want to see a winner between The Undertaker and The Hitman and he made their rematch for the WWF Championship official for In Your House. However, Tunney admitted that Michaels' comments on last week show concerned him and he believed that The Heartbreak Kid may try to disrupt the title match once again. As such, Tunney was adding Shawn Michaels to the main event - the spot where the Heartbreak Kid believes he belongs - in the capacity of special guest referee! Tunney added that if Michaels does not referee the bout fairly, then he'll be suspended and will never be considered for a WWF Title shot as long as Tunney remains in office!
In addition, Tunney also announced that in three weeks on Monday Night RAW, Shawn Michaels will team with Diesel to face Bret Hart and WWF Champion The Undertaker in a star-studded tag team battle.
Marty Jannetty pinned Mike Bell with the Rock-a-Bye in 0:03:55. Rating: * 3/4
Todd Pettengill presented the first In Your House report, in which he confirmed that Bret Hart will challenge The Undertaker for the WWF Championship at the pay-per-view and Shawn Michaels will act as guest referee. Pettengill also recapped Public Enemy's Body Count challenge to the Hollywood Blonds from Superstars. Pettengill revealed that WWF President Jack Tunney has reservations surrounding the danger of such a match, but has stated that if both teams were willing to sign on for the bout it will be a fantastic spectacle for the fans. Tunney said that should the Blonds agree to participate, it speaks volumes for the determination and desire of both teams to put it all on the line and as such he will reward the winning (or should that be surviving??) team with a Tag Team Title shot.
Backstage, PJ Walker was interviewed by Sean Mooney. Walker revealed that he had not spoken to Bob Backlund since WrestleMania, and Backlund was refusing to answer his phone calls. Walker said he would be watching Backlund's appearance on the King's Court tonight with interest and added that he had some important news for his mentor.
The Birdman pinned Nick Barberri with the One Fell Swoop in 0:03:59. Rating: DUD
Bob Backlund was this week's guest on the King's Court. Backlund acknowledged the unfavourable reaction he was receiving from the crowd for his actions after the Tag Team Title Match at WrestleMania. Backlund said that he had not held a championship in the company for over a decade, but at WrestleMania the Tag team Titles were almost in his grasp. However, he decided to let his heart rule his head and allow PJ Walker to take the glory, and he screwed it all up. What was he supposed to do? Jump for joy about it?!
PJ Walker made his way out while Jerry Lawler encouraged Bob Backlund to make Walker pay for what happened at WrestleMania. Walker was apologetic and said he felt terrible for letting Backlund down so badly after all he had done for him. He was determined to make it up to Backlund and informed his mentor that Jack Tunney has agreed to give them a title shot against The Thrillseekers at In Your House. Walker vowed to do everything he can to help Backlund become a champion again. Lawler quipped that Backlund might want to find a different partner to challenge The Thrillseekers. Backlund responded by locking the chicken-wing on Lawler, before pushing The King into the path of Walker who hooked Lawler and drilled him with the Underdog! Backlund nodded at Walker and left the ring, while PJ was delighted that the former WWF Champion still has some confidence in him.
Lex Luger made Mike Khoury submit to the Rebel Rack in 0:03:40. Lex Luger suffered a sprained ankle. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: * 1/2
During the match, Vince McMahon took a call from Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett reeled off the list of former Intercontinental Champions he has beaten since joining the company - Tito Santana, Bret Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow and most recently Tatanka just last week, yet he has never received a title shot. McMahon agreed that Double J has a very good case for a title match in the future.
Footage was shown of the brawl from last week's show which involved Big Van Vader, The Ultimate Warrior and Crush. Vince McMahon closed the show by excitedly announcing that a tag team match has been booked for next week, pitting Crush and the Warrior against Vader and a partner of his choosing!
Circuit information: WWF President Jack Tunney certainly has been earning his money. The main event for the first In Your House pay-per-view is now official and it couldn't be any bigger, as The Undertaker defends the WWF Championship against Bret Hart in a rematch from WrestleMania. However, to negate the possibility of Shawn Michaels ruining the bout, Tunney has named The Heartbreak Kid as special guest referee and warned Michaels to officiate the contest fairly. This is not what Michaels had in mind when he demanded to be involved in the WWF Title Match. He'll get the chance to vent next week on the King's Court.
The Tag Titles will also be defended at In Your House as PJ Walker and Bob Backlund challenge The Thrillseekers. After Walker's sloppiness cost them the belts at WrestleMania, he and Backlund appear to have smoothed out their differences and are more determined than ever to capture the titles.
We are still waiting on an answer from the Hollywood Blonds regarding the Body Count Match. Perhaps the fact that Jack Tunney has guaranteed the winners a Tag Team Title shot will force their hand.
We're bringing you a big six man tag team match this weekend on Superstars as Savio Vega teams with the New Headshrinkers to battle Mr Perfect and The Supermodels! In addition, Rocco Rock and the British Bulldog will be in singles action. Till then, so long everybody!

WWF Superstars April 15th, 1995 Glens Falls, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
The show began with hype for tonight's six man tag main event which pits Savio Vega and the New Headshrinkers against Mr Perfect and The Supermodels. Rick Martel and Raphael were shown preparing for the bout in their locker room when the Hollywood Blonds interrupted. Steve Austin told the cameraman to get out as Vince McMahon pondered what this meeting was about.
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated Buck Quartermaine and Bill Payne when J. Rougeau pinned B. Payne after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:03:50. Rating: * 1/2
During the bout, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers cut an insert promo. They said that if Tammy Fytch is looking for a new team to manage, then she need look no further than them.
British Bulldog pinned Duane Gill with the Running Powerslam in 0:04:11. Rating: * 3/4
During the match, Lord Steven Regal cut an insert promo in which he described himself as an aristocrat and a true blue blood, unlike that "British Bulldog". Regal spat out Bulldog's name with complete disdain. Regal continued by claiming that Britain is the leading force in Europe and basically rules the continent, yet who do they have to represent them in the World Wrestling Federation?? The British Bulldog, a man whose blatant abuse of everything British is so horrendous it makes Regal's skin crawl.
A recap of Public Enemy's challenge last week to the Hollywood Blonds for a Body Count Match at In Your House was shown before Rocco Rock made his way out for singles action.
Rocco Rock pinned Mark Starr with the Drive By in 0:03:12. Rating: -1/4*
During the match, Public Enemy cut an insert promo on The Hollywood Blonds. Johnny Grunge said it was a big mistake to leave air in their lungs and blood pumping through their veins two weeks ago. Rocco Rock dared the Blonds to accept the Body Count Match so he could beat one of those worms silly, then sit back and watch that cage explode and destroy them forever!
The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) and Mr. Perfect defeated The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu) and Savio Vega when Martel pinned Sionne via pinfall in 0:16:48. Rating: *** 3/4
The six man tag team match broke down as it passed the quarter-hour mark and fearsome foes Mr Perfect and Savio Vega began brawling around ringside, effectively making it a straight tag team match between The Supermodels and The Headshrinkers, who have their own history. Sionne climbed to the top rope in order to finish off Rick Martel, but Raphael loaded his mask and headbutted Sionne behind the official's back. Sionne crashed down into the ring where he was easily pinned by Martel.
Rick Martel and Raphael made a quick getaway after stealing this victory, just as Samu seized possession of Afa's staff and started swinging for them. Meanwhile, officials and road agents struggled to separate Mr Perfect and Savio Vega outside the ring.
Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler closed proceedings by previewing the tag team match coming up this week on Monday Night RAW, in which the pairing of The Ultimate Warrior and Crush will battle Big Van Vader and a partner of the Mastodon's choosing. Footage was then shown from backstage at RAW where a conversation had been captured between Harley Race and Tennessee Lee. McMahon surmised that Race was trying to cut a deal with Lee which would see Jeff Jarrett team with Vader this coming Monday.
Circuit information: So who will partner Big Van Vader this week on Monday Night RAW to do battle with The Ultimate Warrior and Crush in a huge tag team bout? All the signs are pointing to Double J Jeff Jarrett after Harley Race was seen negotiating with Tennessee Lee after RAW went off air last Monday. Make sure you tune in to find out, where in addition Shawn Michaels will be the guest on the King's Court and Sabu will be in action! Till then, so long everybody!

Monday Night RAW April 17th 1995 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
This week's edition of Monday Night RAW began with a pay-per-view calibre tag team match pitting the team of Crush and The Ultimate Warrior against Big Van Vader and a partner of his choosing. However, Vader and his manager Harley Race emerged from the back along with Tennessee Lee. Race gleefully revealed that he had cut a deal with Lee to secure not one but two partners for Vader - Rockabilly and The Roadie! Race said that the trio would face Crush and Warrior in a Handicap Match!
Handicap-Match: The Ultimate Warrior and Crush defeated Tennessee Lee Promotions (Rockabilly and The Roadie) and Big Van Vader when Crush defeated Rockabilly by disqualification in 0:12:37. Rating: ** [Harley Race interfered against Crush.]
Vince McMahon attempted to encourage Randy Savage to leave the broadcast table and team up with Crush and The Ultimate Warrior to even the odds, but the Macho Man refused. Savage admitted that Crush was his friend, but why should he help Warrior after he left him high and dry?
Big Van Vader and The Ultimate Warrior ended up brawling to the back, leaving Crush on his own against both Rockabilly and The Roadie. The big Hawaiian was coping pretty well until the Tennessee Lee Promotions duo tied up Crush in the ropes. Rockabilly and The Roadie double-teamed the helpless Crush and refused to let him out of the ropes, so the referee called for the disqualification.
The assault continued after the bell, so Randy Savage left the announcers' table and came to Crush's aid. Savage knocked down Tennessee Lee's men and freed Crush from his predicament so that he and the Macho Man could go to work. Crush and Savage clotheslined Rockabilly and The Roadie over the top rope to the floor, before Crush pressed the Macho Man above his head and launched him onto the two men at ringside! As the crowd cheered that move, Jeff Jarrett crept unnoticed into the ring and blasted the big Hawaiian with a wicked guitar shot to the head! Savage quickly returned to the ring and Jarrett took off back to the dressing room! Double J made sure to gloat at his actions to incite the crowd before leaving with Tennessee Lee.
The guests this week on the King's Court were Shawn Michaels and Diesel, along with Liz. Michaels was incensed that Jack Tunney had made him special guest referee for the WWF Title Match at In Your House between The Undertaker and Bret Hart, but said that he will go along with Tunney's little game if it means getting a title shot in the near future. Michaels addressed the tag team match pitting him and Diesel against The Undertaker and The Hitman in two weeks and said that he would prove he is WWF Champion material by capturing the winning pinfall in that match.
After the break Sabu made his way down to the ring for a singles match with Samu from the New Headshrinkers. Vince McMahon put over Sabu's performance at WrestleMania and couldn't believe he is back in the ring just two weeks after the war with Randy Savage. The Macho Man admitted that it had been the toughest match of his career.
Sabu pinned Samu with a slingshot somersault legdrop in 0:05:48. Rating: ** [Afa interfered against Sabu.]
Sabu came out on top of this hard-hitting battle when he landed a ropeflip legdrop after Samu missed a charge into the corner.
After the bout, Sabu tried to put Samu through a table but he was run off by the latter's tag team partner Sionne.
Backstage, WWF Tag Team Champions The Thrillseekers were interviewed backstage by Todd Pettengill. Chris Jericho welcomed the chance to face Bob Backlund and PJ Walker at In Your House, as he felt he and Lance Storm have something to prove. Storm said that everybody believes that Walker and Backlund had them beat before Backlund tagged out at WrestleMania and that tag was the only reason The Thrillseekers avoided defeat. Storm added that at In Your House, they would set the record straight. Jericho closed the interview by challenging Backlund to a singles match.
Sean Waltman pinned Raymond Roy after a flying cross body press in 0:04:11. Rating: 1/2*
In the medical room, Crush was being checked out by doctors for a possible concussion. Crush was seething about the attack by Jeff Jarrett and demanded a match against Double J.
Before the show went off-air, Rockabilly challenged Randy Savage to a match next week. Savage accepted and the two superstars got into a shouting match as Monday Night RAW drew to a close.
Circuit information: Big Van Vader and The Ultimate Warrior had to be separated several times backstage during tonight's show and order was only restored once Harley Race convinced The Mastodon to leave the arena.
Crush was also furious following Jeff Jarrett's sneak attack and wants a piece of the country music superstar. I would not want to be in Jarrett's shoes at the moment!
It appears that Shawn Michaels is willing to tow the company line in order to keep Jack Tunney sweet. The WWF Title Match at In Your House is a must-see bout, as is the tag team match we'll be bringing to you in two weeks as champion The Undertaker and challenger Bret Hart pair up to battle Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel.
Before all that, we've got Superstars this weekend where Big Daddy Cool Diesel himself will be in action, as will Bam Bam Bigelow who has some comments for Harvey Wippleman and Titan. Till then, so long everybody!

WWF Superstars April 22nd, 1995 Glens Falls, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Diesel pinned Tony Roy after a lariat in 0:03:33. Rating: -* 1/2
During the bout, Bret Hart cut an insert promo ahead of the huge tag team match in two weeks on RAW which will see The Hitman team up with The Undertaker to square off against Shawn Michaels and Diesel. Hart said he would team up with The Undertaker to take out a common enemy, but promised to leave just enough of Michaels in order for The Heartbreak Kid to make the three count when Hart defeats The Undertaker for the WWF Title at In Your House.
Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Mark Starr with the Diving Headbutt in 0:05:40. Rating: ** 1/4
During the match, Bam Bam Bigelow cut an insert promo in which he said that he doesn't fear any man walking the face of the earth, especially not Titan. Bigelow challenged Titan to a match at In Your House and claimed that things would turn out differently from WrestleMania when Titan jumped him from behind.
Repo Man made John Crystal submit to the Crowbar in 0:03:23. Rating: *
Jeff Jarrett and Tennessee Lee came out to the podium for an interview with Sean Mooney. Double J blew off the challenge from Crush, claiming that the big Hawaiian is beneath him. Jarrett says he is focused on winning the Intercontinental Title and wanted an answer from Jack Tunney on when he was receiving his title shot.
Marty Jannetty pinned Leroy Howard with the Rock-A-Bye in 0:05:48. Rating: * 1/4
Man Mountain Rock cut a backstage promo ahead of his match with Taz next week, when he will challenge the One Man Crime Spree for the Hardcore Championship. Rock said that he was willing to pay any price in order to claim his first title in the WWF.
Bob Holly pinned Skinner after a flying cross body press in 0:08:46. Rating: ** 1/4
Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Taz regarding next week's Hardcore Title Match with Man Mountain Rock. Taz said that Rock's guitar playing days will be over once he breaks both his arms!
The show closed with an announcement from WWF President Jack Tunney's office. Tunney addressed Jeff Jarrett's claims that he deserves a shot at the Intercontinental Title. Tunney agreed that Double J's recent performances do merit a title opportunity, but there is somebody else that is due another title shot and that man is Crush. Tunney said that Crush is worthy of a title match following his impressive victory over Big Van Vader at WrestleMania and also acknowledged that Crush was screwed over in his previous title shot.
Tunney decided that because Jeff Jarrett is desperate for a title shot, and because Crush is desperate to get Jarrett in the ring, he booked a match between Crush and Double J with a shot at Lex Luger's Intercontinental Title at In Your House the reward for the winner!
Circuit information: Following tonight's huge announcement from Jack Tunney, we can confirm that the Crush vs Jeff Jarrett number one contenders match will take place on the May 1st edition of Monday Night RAW. That same show will feature the The Undertaker and Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels and Diesel tag team match so cancel all your plans, this could be one of the biggest editions in the show's history!
But before all that, on this coming week's episode of Monday Night RAW you will see WWF Tag Team Champions The Thrillseekers in action. Plus, Big Van Vader will compete and Rockabilly squares off with Randy Savage in the show's feature bout. Till then, so long everybody!

Monday Night RAW April 24th 1995 Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Randy Savage pinned Rockabilly with the Macho Elbowdrop in 0:12:02. Rating: ** 1/2 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Randy Savage.] Todd Pettengill presented another In Your House report, in which recapped recent challenges from Public Enemy to the Hollywood Blonds for a Body Count Match and from Bam Bam Bigelow to Titan for a singles match on the pay-per-view. Pettengill revealed that these challenges will be answered this weekend on Superstars. Pettengill closed by shilling for next week's huge tag team match featuring WWF Champion The Undertaker and Bret Hart against Shawn Michaels and his 7 foot bodyguard Diesel. The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) defeated Adam Kroomes and Raven Clark when Martel pinned Clark after the Fashion Victim in 0:02:21. Rating: * 1/2 Vince McMahon conducted an in-ring interview with Crush and asked for his thoughts on his match with Jeff Jarrett next week. The big Hawaiian welcomed Jack Tunney's announcement and vowed to destroy Double J in order to earn a crack at the Intercontinental Championship. McMahon pressed Crush for his opinion on current champion Lex Luger, with whom Crush had a heated feud back in 1993. Crush said that there is no love lost between him and Luger and admitted that he doesn't like nor respect the Intercontinental Champion. Crush said he would get past Jarrett and then promised to beat Luger once again, just like he did two years ago. Jeff Jarrett appeared on the video wall. Double J lambasted Crush for treating their match next week as a formality and told the big Hawaiian not to dare look past him. Jarrett claimed that he had been overlooked by this company for too long and wasn't going to let Crush overlook him as well. Jarrett said he would go through Crush and earn the title shot that he whole world knows he rightfully deserves. The distraction opened up Crush to an ambush from Rockabilly and The Roadie, who sneaked in through the crowd. Crush was beaten down initially but had started to make a comeback until Lex Luger ran down and helped Crush clear the ring. Crush shoved Luger for getting involved before leaving the ring. Before Crush could disappear back to the dressing room, The Total Package picked up the mic and told Crush that if he faces Crush at In Your House he will make him respect him. Big Van Vader pinned Tony Roy with the Vader Bomb in 0:01:20. Rating: * After the match, Big Van Vader grabbed an Ultimate Warrior "grapple-me" soft toy out of the hands of a young ringside fan and tore the head off the doll! The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Barry Horowitz and Brooklyn Brawler when L. Storm pinned Brawler after the Sudden Impact in 0:03:45. Rating: ** 1/4 As the referee handed the Tag Team Championship belts back to The Thrillseekers, Bob Backlund hit the ring and ambushed Chris Jericho and Lance Storm. Jericho took a bad spill through the ropes to the floor. Backlund grabbed Storm and threw him shoulder-first into the ring post repeatedly. Backlund tried to apply the chicken-wing to Storm but PJ Walker sprinted down to intervene. Walker dragged Backlund off and attempted to calm him down, while Bob looked down at his hands with a crazed look in his eyes! Circuit information: Failure to capture the Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania has really affected Bob Backlund. He and PJ Walker have another shot at the belts at In Your House, but Backlund took the opportunity tonight to gain an advantage and carry out a frenzied attack on Lance Storm's shoulder. These are not the actions of somebody who carried the WWF Championship with such distinction for in the early '80s. Bob Backlund has also accepted Chris Jericho's challenge to a singles match which was made last week. This match will take place on the last Monday Night RAW before In Your House and is bound to carry a bit more needle following tonight's events. Crush battles Jeff Jarrett next week to determine who faces Lex Luger for the Intercontinental Title at In Your House. A Crush-Luger title bout would be very intriguing due to the recent history between the two men, while you can bet Jarrett is willing to pull out all the stops to secure the title shot he feels he deserves more than anybody. Undertaker and Bret Hart are set to square off with Shawn Michaels and Diesel as well on next week's show, which is now being billed as "Super Monday".
Before that however is this weekend's edition of Superstars, where Taz will defend the Hardcore Title against Man Mountain Rock. In addition, the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, Adam Bomb and Mr Perfect will all be in action. Till then, so long everybody!

WWF Superstars April 29th, 1995 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, Des Moines, IA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated John Crystal and Leroy Howard when J. Rougeau pinned L. Howard after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:04:44. Rating: * 3/4 During the match, Scott Steiner and Tammy Fytch were shown backstage watching the bout on a monitor. They were deep in discussion. After the match, Jacques took the mic and said that he hoped Tammy Fytch had been watching. He added that he and Raymond were the only sensible choice for her new tag team. Brian Pillman pinned Gary Scott with the Air Pillman in 0:03:25. Rating: * 1/4 After the match, Todd Pettengill pressed The Hollywood Blonds for an answer regarding Public Enemy's challenge to a Body Count Match. Brian Pillman announced that he will take the match against Rocco Rock, with Steve Austin being confined to the cage. Austin said that he trusts Pillman with his life and knows that Pillman would not let any harm come to him whereas at In Your House, not only will Johnny Grunge's hands be in the air, but all the rest of his body parts will be as well! Pillman added that their hood is the wrestling ring and they're going to be the ones that survive. The Blonds were both brimming with confidence here. Adam Bomb pinned Butch Long with the Atom Smasher in 0:03:54. Rating: 1/4* [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Butch Long.] During the match, Harvey Wippleman cut an insert promo in which he gleefully accepted Bam Bam Bigelow's challenge on behalf of Titan. Wippleman advised Bigelow not to allow his friends and family to order In Your House, as Titan is going to tear him limb from limb live on pay-per-view. Wippleman added that he and the Warlord have now parted ways, with Wippleman claiming that he no longer needs Warlord now that he has Titan by his side. Mr. Perfect pinned Sonny Rogers with the Perfect Plex in 0:03:10. Rating: * 1/2 During the match Mr Perfect cut an insert promo in which he addressed his fight with Savio Vega two weeks ago. Perfect suggested that the two superstars have one more match so that Perfect can prove once and for all that the so-called new generation just can't cut it. However, Perfect added that if Vega can do the unthinkable and beat him, then he'll raise Vega's hand after the match and admit that the Caribbean superstar is the better man! No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Taz made Man Mountain Rock submit to the Tazmission in 0:10:26. Man Mountain Roc k tore his left rotator cuff. He will be out for approximately 5 months. Rating: *** (Taz retained the WWF Hardcore Title.) [Gary Hart interfered against Man Mountain Rock.] Man Mountain Rock was perceived as the biggest threat to Taz's Hardcore Title reign to date due to his amateur wrestling background and propensity for brawling. Rock's strategy was to soften up the arm of Taz for the Whammy Bar. It was working well until Taz caught Rock with a suplex out of nowhere and the challenger landed awkwardly on his shoulder. The One Man Crime Spree smelled blood and went in for the kill. Following another dangerous suplex through a table, Taz applied the Tazmission and it was curtains for Man Mountain Rock. After the match, Gary Hart handed Man Mountain Rock's custom-made WWF logo guitar to Taz, who prompty smashed it to pieces on the ring canvas. Can anybody take the Hardcore Title away from the One Man Crime Spree?? Circuit information: Man Mountain Rock suffered a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder after landing badly on a suplex from Taz during their Hardcore Title Match. Rock is expected to be out of action until the fall. Meanwhile, Taz's path of rage shows no sign of ending any time soon. The Hollywood Blonds' attitude sure has changed since the initial challenge from Public Enemy for what is most definitely the most dangerous bout in WWF history, the Body Count Match. Perhaps they have been swayed by the fact that Jack Tunney has guaranteed a Tag Team Title shot to the winners and former champions the Blonds are desperate to regain the belts that they lost back at Survivor Series. We are bringing you two pay-per-view calibre matches on free TV this week on Monday Night RAW! The Undertaker and Bret Hart will face each other for the WWF Title at In Your House, but they will be partners this Monday as they team up to battle Shawn Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel! Plus, Crush will square off against Jeff Jarrett to determine who gets a shot at Lex Luger's Intercontinental Title at In Your House! Make sure you don't miss Super Monday!!

Monday Night RAW - Super Monday! May 1st 1995 Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
The announcers previewed tonight's feature match pitting the team of WWF Champion The Undertaker and number one contender Bret Hart against Shawn Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel. Bobby Heenan said that the last time Undertaker and Hart teamed up it didn't turn out so well, as footage was shown of their count-out loss to the team of Jeff Jarrett and Rockabilly on the February 6th edition of Monday Night RAW. The Brain predicted that tonight they will be defeated once again. Bret Hart and The Undertaker defeated Diesel and Shawn Michaels when Undertaker defeated Diesel by disqualification in 0:17:09. Rating: ** 3/4
Tons of heat for this one, just as you'd expect for such a huge tag team contest. The Undertaker and Diesel spent most of the time brawling outside the ring while Bret Hart took it to Shawn Michaels between the ropes, dishing out some retribution for WrestleMania. Michaels laid out the Hitman outside the ring by sending him into the ringpost. The Undertaker had Diesel in position for the Tombstone when Michaels intervened, clobbering The WWF Champion in the back with a steel chair for the DQ.
Shawn Michaels unloaded with a series of vicious chair shots to The Undertaker's back and then drove the chair into Bret Hart's gut when The Hitman tried to make the save. Michaels then wore out the chair on Hart. Diesel held The Undertaker in place for Michaels to deliver a superkick and then Big Daddy Cool dropped The Deadman with the Jackknife. The Hitman received the same treatment. Michaels then covered both men at the same time and counted a visual pinfall himself.
Todd Pettengill appeared for another In Your House report. With two weeks to go until the pay-per-view, the card is now starting to take shape, with Bam Bam Bigelow vs Titan and the Body Count Match between Brian Pillman and Rocco Rock now official. Pettengill announced that the first qualifying match for this year's King of the Ring tournament will take place at In Your House and will feature Marty Jannetty squaring off against the Great Muta. The winner of the King of the Ring on June 25 at the CoreStates Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania will challenge the WWF Champion at SummerSlam.
Lex Luger made his way down to the commentary table to get a closer look at the match between Crush and Jeff Jarrett. Bobby Heenan said that he couldn't stomach being seated at the same table as Luger and left.
Number-One-Contenders-Match: Jeff Jarrett pinned Crush after a rolling reverse cradle in 0:12:57. Rating: *** 3/4 [Tennessee Lee interfered against Crush.]
After a ref bump, Jeff Jarrett seized the opportunity to go for the guitar. Lex Luger was not about to let this go down and he swiped the guitar before Double J could grab it. Jarrett confronted Luger on the ring apron and demanded he hand over the acoustic equaliser. Crush jumped to the conclusion that Luger, a man he does not trust, was handing Jarrett the guitar to use. Crush and Luger got into a heated argument, with Luger in disbelief that Crush would think he would help Jarrett and told the big Hawaiian to get serious. Jarrett fully capitalised on the misunderstanding, sending Crush into Luger and rolling Crush up for the three count!
Lex Luger recovered from the bad fall he had taken from the apron and Crush confronted him at ringside. The two men got into a shoving match and officials were quickly on the scene to prevent them coming to blows. Suddenly, Jeff Jarrett struck Luger with a chop-block to the back of the knee, leaving the Intercontinental Champion in a heap on the floor! Crush ran Jarrett off to the back as the show went off-air! Circuit information: After the events of tonight's show, one has to question Jack Tunney's decision to name Shawn Michaels as guest referee for the WWF Championship Match at In Your House. Michaels and Diesel destroyed Bret Hart and WWF Champion The Undertaker after their tag team match tonight, so how will champion and challenger be expected to focus on each other when the Heartbreak Kid is in the ring with them?
Master opportunist Jeff Jarrett secured a shot at the Intercontinental Title at In Your House by defeating Crush tonight and then weakened champion Lex Luger's knee after the bout. The Total Package was being checked out by doctors after the show and we'll bring you an update on his condition as soon as we can.
We are two weeks away from In Your House, which will be live on pay-per-view from the Onondaga War Memorial in Syracuse, New York on May 14th. Here is how the card is shaping up:
WWF Championship - Special Guest Referee Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs Bret "Hitman" Hart
WWF Intercontinental Championship Lex Luger vs Jeff Jarrett
WWF Tag Team Championship The Thrillseekers vs Bob Backlund and PJ Walker
Body Count Match Rocco Rock vs Brian Pillman
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Titan
King of the Ring Qualifying Match Great Muta vs Marty Jannetty
This weekend on Superstars, the British Bulldog will be in action, as well as Bam Bam Bigelow, Savio Vega and the Arabian Butchers. Plus, make sure you tune in for the debut of a superstar you'll just have to see to believe! Till then, so long everybody!!

WWF Superstars May 6th, 1995 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, Des Moines, IA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. British Bulldog pinned Rock Werner with the Running Powerslam in 0:02:45. Rating: * 1/4
During the match, Lord Steven Regal cut an insert promo and had more disparaging comments for the British Bulldog. Regal claimed that when the Bulldog speaks he sounds like he has a mouthful full of billiard balls. Regal also expressed his disgust at having to wrestle that "appalling garbageman" Duke Droese next week on Superstars.
Gary Hart was in the ring with the Great Muta. Hart confirmed that Muta will be Black Friday Management's representative in the King of the Ring and backed the Pearl of the Orient to go all the way in the tournament. Hart claimed that there isn't a WWF superstar in the back that is capable of stopping Muta winning the whole thing, and challenged anybody who disagreed to come out here because Muta is not going anywhere.
The challenge was answered by the Great Muta's opponent in the King of the Ring qualifying match at In Your House, Marty Jannetty, who received a nice ovation from the crowd. Jannetty was distracted by some trash-talking from Gary Hart, which allowed Muta to go for the mist. However, Jannetty ducked and Gary Hart took the mist in the face! Muta pounded Jannetty with chops and kicks, but Jannetty was able to counter Muta's flapjack attempt with a dropkick, sending the Japanese superstar to the floor. Jannetty followed with a diving crossbody to the outside on Muta which brought the crowd to their feet! Referees and road agents then arrived to separate the two men.
The Arabian Butchers (Manuel and Victor) defeated Buck Zumhoff and Tommy Ferrera when Victor pinned T. Ferrera with the Moonsault in 0:03:45. Rating: **
Backstage, Sean Mooney interviewed Tammy Fytch regarding her search for a new tag team. Before Fytch had the chance to update him, they were interrupted by a stagehand clutching a huge bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. He said they had arrived for Tammy. Fytch took the flowers and checked the note, revealing they had been sent by the Rougeau Brothers. Fytch smelled the flowers and smiled, saying she liked the Rougeaus' style, before adding that she will announce her new team next week.
Savio Vega pinned Dave Sigfrid with the Caribbean Kick in 0:03:55. Rating: * 1/2
During the match Savio Vega cut an insert promo in which he accepted Mr Perfect's challenge and the match will take place next week on Superstars. Vega said that it is time for Perfect to step aside and make way for the new generation of talent in the WWF.
Next up was the debut of magician wrestler, Phantasio, who turned a candle into a walking stick as he walked down the aisle. Phantasio wore a black and white mime mask (which he handed to a young fan sitting at ringside) that revealed matching facepaint when removed. After blowing smoke out of his top hat, he prepared to lock up with his opponent Tony DeVito.
Phantasio pinned Tony DeVito with the Magic Wedgie in 0:02:08. Rating: -1/2*
The magic did not stop when the bell rang, as Phantasio bewildered Tony DeVito by shooting streamers at him as DeVito bounced off the ropes. DeVito ate a flying shoulderblock before Phantasio hit two bodyslams and an atomic drop. Phantasio then reached into DeVito's trunks and magically pulled out his stunned opponent's underwear! This led to a schoolboy rollup for the win.
After the match, Phantasio went into referee Earl Hebner's pants and removed a black and white striped pair of boxers!
Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Max Moon with the Diving Headbutt in 0:07:32. Rating: ** 3/4 After the match, Harvey Wippleman and Titan appeared in the aisle to distract Bam Bam Bigelow. A posse of officials and road agents quickly flooded the ringside area to block the path between Bigelow and his antagonists. Suddenly, from the other side of the ring entered Adam Bomb who jumped Bigelow from behind! Bomb went to work on the Beast from the East, but Bigelow quickly turned the tables on the Creation of Devastation and sent Bomb packing from the ring with a gamengiri. Wippleman was not amused.
Circuit information: One word. PHANTASIO~!
It's the go-home show for In Your House this week on Monday Night RAW and fresh off his attack on Bret Hart and The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels will be there for comments ahead of his special referee duties at the pay-per-view. Plus, Big Van Vader will be in action and Chris Jericho squares off with Bob Backlund one-on-one. Till then, so long everybody!

Monday Night RAW May 8th 1995 Civic Auditorium, Omaha, NE Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
The show began with footage from last week's show of Shawn Michaels and Diesel's brutal assault of The Undertaker and Bret Hart following their marquee tag team match. Bobby Heenan gleefully revealed that we will hear from The Heartbreak Kid later in the show, but his expression changed when Vince McMahon announced that both the Hitman and the Deadman are in the building tonight!
Chris Jericho pinned Bob Backlund after an inside cradle in 0:08:34. Rating: ** 1/2 [Lance Storm interfered against Bob Backlund.]
Chris Jericho tore into Bob Backlund for his vicious assault on Lance Storm two weeks ago, but Backlund managed to slow him down with his scientific brilliance. Storm managed to throw a few punches at Backlund with his good arm behind the referee's back, which PJ Walker took exception to. Walker protested with the referee, while inside the ring Backlund drilled Jericho with a nasty jumping piledriver and went for the pin. However, the official was still tied up with Walker. Backlund demanded that Walker get down, allowing Jericho to shove Backlund into his protege and roll Bob up for the three count!
Bob Backlund was pissed at what had happened. PJ Walker attempted to explain, but Backlund stopped him in his tracks with another hard slap across the face! Backlund walked out on his protege to boos and jeers.
Adam Bomb pinned Sonny Rogers with the Atom Smasher in 0:02:54. Rating: * [Harvey Wippleman interfered against Sonny Rogers.]
Todd Pettengill was on In Your House shill duty for the final time. After providing a quick run down of the card, Pettengill brought us an exclusive with Lex Luger's doctor. The diagnosis of Luger's knee injury, suffered after an attack from Jeff Jarrett last week, was a Grade II knee sprain. The doctor stated that Luger should not be wrestling for at least a month.
Big Van Vader pinned Jeff Hardy with the Vader Bomb in 0:01:12. Rating: **
After the match, Harley Race produced some facepaint and proceeded to make up the face of poor Jeff Hardy to look like The Ultimate Warrior. Big Van Vader climbed up the ropes and delivered another Vader Bomb to Hardy. The Mastodon went for a third, but before he could complete the move The Ultimate Warrior hit the ring and unloaded on Vader! Warrior sent Vader out of the ring with a clothesline as the crowd went berserk! Vader had to be restrained in the aisle by officials and road agents as the Warrior shook the ring ropes.
Great Muta pinned Gary Scott with the Moonsault Press in 0:03:35. Rating: 3/4*
During this match, Marty Jannetty came out to scout the Great Muta, whom he meets at In Your House this Sunday in the first King of the Ring qualifier.
Shawn Michaels came down to the ring dressed in a referee's shirt. Footage was shown on the video wall of him pinning both The Undertaker and Bret Hart after last week's tag team match. Michaels said that he was ready to count down one of those two chumps again on Sunday at In Your House. The Heartbreak Kid said last week, the whole world witnessed him pin both WWF Champion The Undertaker and challenger Bret Hart, so by all rights he should be the new WWF Champion! Michaels then demanded The Undertaker come out and hand over the WWF Title to him! Vince McMahon couldn't believe what he was hearing, while Bobby Heenan admitted it was hard to argue with Michaels' logic!
The Undertaker made his way down the aisle to a phenomenal reception, but before he could enter the ring he was jumped by Diesel! Big Daddy Cool rolled The Undertaker in and he and Michaels put the boots to the WWF Champion. Bret Hart quickly arrived on the scene to even the odds and a brawl erupted! Hart and The Undertaker managed to clear the ring of their foes with a pair of clotheslines and a whole host of referees and agents showed up to hold Michaels and Diesel back. Somewhere in the melee, The Undertaker had dumped his championship belt on the canvas. The Hitman went to retrieve it, but when The Deadman caught Hart with his belt he tried to snatch it from him. However, Hart would not let go and the two superstars became embroiled in a tug-of-war over the WWF Championship! Some of the officials entered the ring to quell the situation as Monday Night RAW drew to a close! Circuit information: This Sunday we will be live In Your House, from the Onondaga War Memorial in Syracuse, New York. Here's a run down of the final card:
WWF Championship - Special Guest Referee Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs Bret "Hitman" Hart
These two superstars collided in the main event of WrestleMania XI, with Bret Hart on a mission to regain the title he was forced to vacate through injury. However, their match was constantly interrupted by Shawn Michaels, who ended up costing The Hitman the bout. The Heartbreak Kid had defeated his arch nemesis Razor Ramon and felt that he should be next in line for a shot at the WWF Championship. Michaels has now successfully hijacked the WWF Title picture and demanded to be part of the first ever In Your House main event. Jack Tunney agreed to add Michaels to the match, albeit in the capacity of special guest referee, and warned the Heartbreak Kid to call it right down the middle. We are now left with a powder keg of a situation, especially after Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel laid a severe beating on Hart and The Undertaker last week on Monday Night RAW. All hell could break loose in this one, but who will leave Syracuse as WWF Champion?
WWF Intercontinental Championship Lex Luger vs Jeff Jarrett
Lex Luger returned from a serious neck injury at WrestleMania to dethrone Scott Steiner as Intercontinental Champion. Meanwhile, Jeff Jarrett has recorded a string of wins over former IC champs and worked his way up to the top of the contender rankings. Jarrett defeated Crush last week on Monday Night RAW to secure this title shot and took out guest commentator Luger's knee after the match, softening him up for In Your House. Rumours abound that The Total Package's knee injury is more severe than first thought and this match could be in doubt. You can be almost certain of the fact that if Double J can slap the figure four on Luger's injured leg this Sunday, we'll be crowning a new Intercontinental Champion.
WWF Tag Team Championship The Thrillseekers vs Bob Backlund and PJ Walker
It was Bob Backlund's dream to win championship gold at WrestleMania. At this year's showcase event it appeared that this dream was about to become reality, as he and his protege PJ Walker were heading to Tag Team Title glory against The Thrillseekers. However, Walker's inexperience came into play as he attempted a cocky cover and ended up getting pinned himself. Walker secured this rematch at In Your House in order to make amends with his mentor, who had reprimanded Walker for his mistake with a hard slap to the face. Backlund has displayed a more ugly, aggressive side since WrestleMania, evidenced by his brutal attack on Lance Storm two weeks ago which damaged the Canadian's shoulder. Storm has been cleared to wrestle at In Your House, while Backlund is very much on edge as shown by tonight's events. He is certainly not about to pass up another opportunity at becoming a champion again in the WWF and PJ Walker needs to be on top of his game this Sunday.
Body Count Match Rocco Rock vs Brian Pillman
The feud between Public Enemy and the Hollywood Blonds has rumbled on since Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge first set foot in the WWF. The two teams clashed in a streetfight before WrestleMania and although Public Enemy came out on top, the Blonds put Grunge through a table afterwards and broke his arm. That has led to this, the Body Count Match, brought to you for the first time ever…anywhere. Rocco Rock and Brian Pillman will have a singles match, while their respective partners are locked inside jail cells. One of these superstars better win, because after fifteen minutes the cells will explode! Whoever captures the fall must grab the key, then run and release their partner before the explosion. The winners will become the number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles. Who knows if we will ever see the losing team again?
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Titan
Bam Bam Bigelow's feud with Harvey Wippleman came to a head at WrestleMania when he faced Adam Bomb in a bout where the Beast from the East would get five minutes alone with his former manager if he won. Bigelow duly obliged but as he prepared to humiliate Harv, Wippleman's back-up plan was revealed in the form of the 440 pound, 7'4" giant Titan. Bigelow was destroyed by Wippleman's monster at 'Mania, but that has not stopped the courageous Bigelow challenging Titan to a singles match at In Your House. This is Titan's first match in the WWF - will it result in his first defeat?
King of the Ring Qualifying Match Great Muta vs Marty Jannetty
This year's King of the Ring tournament gets underway on Sunday with the first qualifying match as Marty Jannetty squares off with the Great Muta. The winner of the tournament is guaranteed a WWF Title shot in the main event of SummerSlam, so you can expect both of these superstars to throw the shackles off in what could be the sleeper match of the show.
Before that we have an episode of Superstars to bring you this weekend, on which Tammy Fytch is expected to confirm The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers as the newest members of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. Also, Lord Steven Regal will be in action and in the feature bout, Savio Vega battles Mr Perfect. These two men have each recorded a win over the other in recent weeks so this is the decider, and Mr Perfect has stipulated that should the Caribbean Superstar be victorious, he will raise Vega's hand after the match and admit he is the better man! See you then everybody!

Should have known Crazy!Backlund was inevitable.
OMINOUS~! FORESHADOWING~!
Jannetty is so dead.
Can I get a memory refresher on why Heenan hates Luger?
Oh Phantasio I had forgotten about that wrestlecrap. Will he stick around for more than one match this time?
My IYH picks...
Undertaker vs Hart: Well, obvious answer is we got pretty much as IRL with Michaels accidentally giving Hart the win to set up a program with the Undertaker which leads to Kane's debut. But it seems pretty obvious we'll be transitioning into a Michaels-Hart feud so maybe we get a Kane debut in this match? Michaels counts the pin and hands Bret the title then superkicks the title in his face. Then again this is just an IYH so we probably get a screwy DQ ending or something.
Luger vs Jarrett: Jarrett via Figure Four on the bad knee after Crush gets involved somehow.
Thrillseekers vs Backlund/Walker: Thrillseekers after Backlund snaps and puts Walker in the Crossface Chickenwing.
Body Count Match: TPE wins under screwy circumstances that begin a Pillman-Austin split.
Bigelow vs Titan: no way Titan loses his debut.
Muta vs Jannetty: Muta, in this universe and all the others. Sorry, Marty.

Heenan brought Luger to the WWF initially, but had an issue with Luger's challenge of Scott Steiner and subsequent face turn upon returning from his neck injury. He confronted him on the March 27th edition of RAW.

WWF Superstars May 13th, 1995 Veterans Memorial Auditorium, Des Moines, IA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. The show opened with Vince McMahon hyping tonight's matches. Jerry Lawler was not happy because his crown was missing and McMahon teased him by asking what kind of king doesn't have a crown? Lawler claimed that it has been stolen and vowed to put a royal beating on whomever is responsible.
Lord Steven Regal made Duke Droese submit to the Regal Stretch in 0:07:55. Rating: ** 1/2
Lord Steven Regal's facial expressions were a sight to behold as he grappled with Duke Droese. It seemed that the odour emanating from the Dumpster's ring gear was offending Regal's sense of smell. Regal was able to hold his breath long enough to stretch former Hardcore Champion Droese for the win.
After the match, Regal told Lord Alfred Hayes that he needed a bath immediately to clean up after being that close to Droese.
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated Buck Zumhoff and Tommy Ferrera when J. Rougeau pinned T. Ferrera after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:05:26. Rating: * 3/4
After the match, Tammy Fytch appeared in the aisle with a microphone, much to the excitement of the Rougeaus. Fytch said that she has had her eye on Jacques and Rougeau over the past few weeks and is very impressed. As Fytch prepared to announce her newest tag team, the Rougeaus jumped the gun and began celebrating. Suddenly, The Heavenly Bodies, Jimmy Del Ray and Tom Prichard, hit the ring and attacked the Rougeaus from behind! The Bodies laid out Jacques with a double flapjack, before Prichard held Raymond in place for Del Ray to deliver a top rope moonsault! Fytch then finished her announcement that her newest tag team is The Heavenly Bodies! Del Ray and Prichard stepped over the Rougeau Brothers and left with Fytch.
A video package aired documenting the history between Mr Perfect and Savio Vega. Each superstar has recorded a win over the other in recent weeks and the rubber match is up next.
Before the match, Savio Vega asked the referee to conduct a thorough search of Mr Perfect for foreign objects. Sure enough, the referee found brass knuckles in Perfect's boot, a weapon that has come into play in the previous two matches between these two superstars. Perfect was furious and viciously attacked Vega to start the bout.
Mr. Perfect pinned Savio Vega with the Perfect Plex in 0:08:09. Rating: ** 1/2 [Barry Windham interfered against Savio Vega.]
During the match Barry Windham wandered down the aisle and began watching the bout from ringside. Both participants were unnerved by the presence of The Widowmaker, particularly Perfect who feuded with Windham a year ago. Another match between Savio Vega and Mr Perfect and another ref bump. With the official down, Vega hit the Caribbean Kick on Perfect but there was nobody to count the fall. Vega tried to shake the referee back into consciousness, allowing Perfect to strike with a desperation low blow and dump Vega out of the ring. As Vega slowly got back to his feet he was blindsided at ringside by Barry Windham, who drilled the Caribbean Superstar with a brass knuckles assisted punch! Windham rolled Vega back in, where Perfect planted the dead-weight of Vega with the Perfect Plex for the three count. It quickly transpired that Mr Perfect and Barry Windham were in cahoots all along as they viciously put the boots to Savio Vega after the bell. Windham applied the claw to Vega until officials came to his aid. As the Caribbean Superstar was being checked over, Windham held Perfect's arm aloft in celebration.
The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu) defeated Bob Cook and Mike Khoury when Sionne pinned B. Cook with the Flying Lariat in 0:04:18. Rating: * 3/4
Before the show went off-air, a camera crew had located Repo Man backstage and he had Jerry Lawler's crown! Repo said that Lawler has been late with the payments on his crown, so it had been seized! Lawler hit back by saying that he's a king and he doesn't need to pay for a crown. He called Repo a thief and demanded he return the crown, whereas Repo claimed he's a nice guy and he ain't no thief! The two men continued to argue as Vince McMahon closed the show.
Circuit information: This was a very newsworthy edition of Superstars as we gear up for In Your House tomorrow night.
It seems that Tammy Fytch was simply stringing the Rougeaus along for weeks before announcing the team she had in place all along - The Heavenly Bodies. What a conniving piece of work that woman is.
What is the story behind the alliance between Mr Perfect and Barry Windham? These two superstars were at each other's throats last year, yet tonight Windham helps Perfect defeat Savio Vega in their rubber match. We hope to get to the bottom of this situation very soon.
Repo Man has possession of Jerry Lawler's crown and the King is not happy to say the least! Who ever heard of a king without a crown?!
This was the last night in for Duke Droese and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers. We wish them all the best with their future endeavours.
Let's preview the In Your House card one final time, ahead of tomorrow night's event from the Onondaga War Memorial in Syracuse, New York:
WWF Championship - Special Guest Referee Shawn Michaels The Undertaker vs Bret "Hitman" Hart
These two superstars collided in the main event of WrestleMania XI, with Bret Hart on a mission to regain the title he was forced to vacate through injury. However, their match was constantly interrupted by Shawn Michaels, who ended up costing The Hitman the bout. The Heartbreak Kid had defeated his arch nemesis Razor Ramon and felt that he should be next in line for a shot at the WWF Championship. Michaels has now successfully hijacked the WWF Title picture and demanded to be part of the first ever In Your House main event. Jack Tunney agreed to add Michaels to the match, albeit in the capacity of special guest referee, and warned the Heartbreak Kid to call it right down the middle. We are now left with a powder keg of a situation, especially after Michaels and his bodyguard Diesel laid a severe beating on Hart and The Undertaker last week on Monday Night RAW. All hell could break loose in this one, but who will leave Syracuse as WWF Champion?
WWF Intercontinental Championship Lex Luger vs Jeff Jarrett
Lex Luger returned from a serious neck injury at WrestleMania to dethrone Scott Steiner as Intercontinental Champion. Meanwhile, Jeff Jarrett has recorded a string of wins over former IC champs and worked his way up to the top of the contender rankings. Jarrett defeated Crush last week on Monday Night RAW to secure this title shot and took out guest commentator Luger's knee after the match, softening him up for In Your House. Rumours abound that The Total Package's knee injury is more severe than first thought and this match could be in doubt. You can be almost certain of the fact that if Double J can slap the figure four on Luger's injured leg this Sunday, we'll be crowning a new Intercontinental Champion.
WWF Tag Team Championship The Thrillseekers vs Bob Backlund and PJ Walker
It was Bob Backlund's dream to win championship gold at WrestleMania. At this year's showcase event it appeared that this dream was about to become reality, as he and his protege PJ Walker were heading to Tag Team Title glory against The Thrillseekers. However, Walker's inexperience came into play as he attempted a cocky cover and ended up getting pinned himself. Walker secured this rematch at In Your House in order to make amends with his mentor, who had reprimanded Walker for his mistake with a hard slap to the face. Backlund has displayed a more ugly, aggressive side since WrestleMania, evidenced by his brutal attack on Lance Storm two weeks ago which damaged the Canadian's shoulder. Storm has been cleared to wrestle at In Your House, while Backlund is very much on edge as shown by tonight's events. He is certainly not about to pass up another opportunity at becoming a champion again in the WWF and PJ Walker needs to be on top of his game this Sunday.
Body Count Match Rocco Rock vs Brian Pillman
The feud between Public Enemy and the Hollywood Blonds has rumbled on since Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge first set foot in the WWF. The two teams clashed in a streetfight before WrestleMania and although Public Enemy came out on top, the Blonds put Grunge through a table afterwards and broke his arm. That has led to this, the Body Count Match, brought to you for the first time ever…anywhere. Rocco Rock and Brian Pillman will have a singles match, while their respective partners are locked inside jail cells. One of these superstars better win, because after fifteen minutes the cells will explode! Whoever captures the fall must grab the key, then run and release their partner before the explosion. The winners will become the number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles. Who knows if we will ever see the losing team again?
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Titan
Bam Bam Bigelow's feud with Harvey Wippleman came to a head at WrestleMania when he faced Adam Bomb in a bout where the Beast from the East would get five minutes alone with his former manager if he won. Bigelow duly obliged but as he prepared to humiliate Harv, Wippleman's back-up plan was revealed in the form of the 440 pound, 7'4" giant Titan. Bigelow was destroyed by Wippleman's monster at 'Mania, but that has not stopped the courageous Bigelow challenging Titan to a singles match at In Your House. This is Titan's first match in the WWF - will it result in his first defeat?
King of the Ring Qualifying Match Great Muta vs Marty Jannetty
This year's King of the Ring tournament gets underway on Sunday with the first qualifying match as Marty Jannetty squares off with the Great Muta. The winner of the tournament is guaranteed a WWF Title shot in the main event of SummerSlam, so you can expect both of these superstars to throw the shackles off in what could be the sleeper match of the show.

IN YOUR HOUSE May 14th, 1995 Onondaga War Memorial, Syracuse, New York Your commentators are Jim Ross and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
[Dark Match]: The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) defeated The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu) when Martel pinned Sionne after the Fashion Victim in 0:10:18. Rating: ** 1/4 [Afa interfered against Rick Martel.] [Afa interfered against Raphael.]
Crush made Rockabilly submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:08:53. Rating: ** 1/4
British Bulldog pinned Adam Bomb with the Running Powerslam in 0:10:11. Rating: ** 1/2
The first ever In Your House pay-per-view began with the first ever Body Count Match. The rules are as follows: Johnny Grunge and Steve Austin will be locked inside two small jail cells rigged with explosives. Meanwhile their respective tag team partners, Rocco Rock and Brian Pillman, will contest a singles match. The cells are primed to explode after fifteen minutes, so you must win the match and grab the key to free your partner before both both cages detonate!
[Body Count Match]: Brian Pillman defeated Rocco Rock via pinfall in 0:13:10. Rating: ** 1/2 [The Supermodels interfered against Rocco Rock.]
The two men brawled all around ringside and towards the two cells, where Rocco Rock bashed Brian Pillman's head off the bars of Johnny Grunge's cage while Grunge yelled abuse. Pillman took over with an eye gouge and a vertical suplex, but when he went for Air Pillman Rocco countered with a dropkick to the gut! Rocco blasted Pillman with a power bomb and signalled for the moonsault, while Steve Austin was going crazy behind the bars imploring Pillman to get up! Rocco prepared to deliver his finish when suddenly the Supermodels ran down to the ring! Martel took the ref while Raphael dragged Rocco down hard to the mat and then hit the Dolce Vita. Raphael put Pillman on top of Rocco, Martel dropped down to ringside and the referee then counted the fall! Johnny Grunge was seething, rattling the bars for all he was worth and screaming at the Supermodels and the referee. Meanwhile, Brian Pillman retrieved the key and released Steve Austin, who hugged his partner with delight. The Blonds and the Supermodels made a quick exit as the clock ticked down to fifteen minutes. Explosions went off all around the cages and when the smoke cleared Grunge was slumped in the corner of the cage. Paramedics were quickly on the scene to stretcher Grunge away as Rocco accompanied his partner to the back.
Backstage, PJ Walker attempted to make peace with Bob Backlund ahead of their title match with Tag Team Champions The Thrillseekers. Walker apologised for costing Backlund his singles match with Chris Jericho on Monday Night RAW. Backlund told him to forget about it and the two men shook hands. However, before Backlund let go he warned Walker: no more screw-ups.
[King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Great Muta defeated Marty Jannetty with the Moonsault in 0:08:53. Rating: **** [Gary Hart and Kimona interfered against Marty Jannetty.]
Marty Jannetty had things in control when he hit the Rocker Dropper, but he missed a fistdrop off the top and Great Muta drilled Jannetty with a facebuster. One moonsault later and Muta had advanced in the King of the Ring.
Backstage, Sean Mooney caught up with the Supermodels, who were trying to leave the building as quickly as possible. Mooney wanted to understand their motivation for interfering against Rocco Rock in the Body Count Match. Rick Martel said it was payback for Public Enemy causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to their wardrobe during the South Philly Hood Match with the Hollywood Blonds. Mooney doubted that was their sole reason to get involved and asked if they were in cahoots with the Blonds. Martel said he didn't have to answer any more questions and left the arena with Rafael, slamming the door in Mooney's face.
WWF Intercontinental Championship Lex Luger vs Jeff Jarrett
As "Double J" Jeff Jarrett made his entrance for the Intercontinental Title Match, WWF President Jack Tunney marched down to the squared circle. Todd Pettengill arrived on the scene to investigate. Tunney said that he had reviewed the doctor's reports on the injury to Lex Luger's knee and announced there is no way he could allow The Total Package to defend his Intercontinental Title here tonight. Tennessee Lee exploded, yelling that this was outrageous, as Luger limped down to the ring. Jarrett butted in and said that if Luger can't compete, then he should hand the belt over. Tunney ruled that out immediately because it was Jarrett himself who had caused the injury, but agreed to postpone the title match until Luger has made a full recovery.
Lex Luger took the mike and said that he might not be allowed to wrestle tonight, but that was ok because he had come here to fight! The crowd roared as Luger decked Jarrett and The Roadie, before laying out Tennessee Lee for good measure. Luger clotheslined Roadie over the top rope before turning his attention to Double J, signalling that he was going to rack him! Suddenly Rockabilly hit the ring and drilled Luger in the back of his injured knee. Luger screamed in agony as Jarrett and Rockabilly combined to put a hurting on the knee. They posted Luger's leg twice, before Jarrett went for the guitar while Rockabilly and The Roadie held Luger in position. Jarrett wound up to smash Luger's knee with the guitar, but Crush steamed onto the scene wielding a steel chair! Tennessee Lee Promotions took off as Crush blasted the guitar into smithereens on the ring canvas.
Lex Luger was helped to the back by referees to receive medical attention while a video package rolled to hype the next match.
The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated Bob Backlund and PJ Walker when L. Storm pinned Walker after a bridging back suplex in 0:15:43. Rating: *** 1/4 (The Thrillseekers retained the WWF World Tag Team Titles.)
It appeared that we were set for a title change here this evening when PJ Walker made the hot tag and tore through the champions like a house on fire. Walker overwhelmed Storm with a series of high-flying manoeuvres. Jericho tried to get involved, but Walker dropkicked him to the floor. Walker took Storm down repeatedly with a clothesline, a back body drop and a springboard bulldog, while Backlund kept Jericho at bay in the chicken-wing on the floor. Walker looked for the Underdog, but Storm surprised Walker by countering into a back suplex with a bridge for the three count!
Bob Backlund could not believe what he had just seen. Lance Storm helped Chris Jericho to the back as Backlund climbed into the ring to confront PJ Walker. Backlund berated Walker for being so stupid as Walker used the ropes to get back to his feet. Backlund slapped Walker around the head and continued to insult him, before Walker pushed him away. That got a great reaction from the crowd, but all it did was incense Backlund further. The crowd were delighted that Walker had stood up to Backlund, who appeared on the verge of snapping. The Thrillseekers returned to prevent the two men tearing each other apart, whereupon Backlund decided to leave and was met with boos and jeers.
Titan pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Choke Slam in 0:03:05. Rating: **
Bam Bam Bigelow brought the fight to Titan here this evening but he could not knock the giant off his feet. Bigelow unloaded with punches, headbutts and clotheslines, before staggering Titan with a dropkick. As the Beast from the East bounced off the ropes, Titan surprised him with a dropkick of his own. Titan effortlessly took Bigelow apart with a backbreaker, an elbowdrop and a back suplex before putting him down with a huge choke slam. Harvey Wippleman thought that Bam Bam Bigelow had got off lightly and demanded that Titan continue the punishment. Titan locked his massive hands around Bigelow's neck and started choking him. The 350-pound Bigelow looked small compared to the giant Titan and was helpless as Titan choked the life out of him. Referees and road agents couldn't break Titan's grip, so Bob Holly and Marty Jannetty hit the ring to help. Titan laid them both out quickly with a double choke slam and went back to the choke. The Headshrinkers came out and were also taken out by Titan, disposed like two bags of garbage. Finally, the Big Boss Man, making his return from injury, arrived on the scene and threatened Titan with his nightstick. Titan released Bigelow, who slumped to the canvas, and seemed ready to get into it with Boss Man until Wippleman convinced him to back down. Boss Man checked on Bigelow while Titan stared a hole through the former corrections officer.
Match with Special Referee Shawn Michaels: The Undertaker and Bret Hart battled to a no-contest in 0:18:08. Rating: **** (The Undertaker retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.)
Lots of punching and choking to start. The match spilled to ringside, where The Undertaker bashed Bret Hart's head into the ringsteps twice, but when Shawn Michaels tried to admonish him the Deadman simply glared at him. 'Taker twisted Hart's arm and began walking the top rope, but when Michaels again tried to gain control it distracted the champion long enough for Bret to fling him down to the mat. Hart began working the knee. Hart wrapped Undertaker up in the ringpost figure-four, but when the Hitman refused to break the hold Michaels took matters into his own hands and broke the hold himself. Furious, Hart shoved Michaels, but then turned into a big boot from The Undertaker. The Undertaker went for the flying clothesline, but Hart side-stepped and the Deadman instead wiped out Shawn Michaels! Michaels tried to pull himself up by the ropes, but Undertaker whipped the Hitman into him and Michaels went flying into the guardrail!
Bret Hart locked The Undertaker in the Sharpshooter and cranked back, but Shawn Michaels was still out on the floor. The Heartbreak Kid dragged himself back in, but then drilled Hart with a superkick and then collapsed to the mat! The crowd were in disbelief! Undertaker shook off the effects of the Sharpshooter and hauled Hart up for the Tombstone, but Michaels recovered and struck again, dropping the Deadman with another superkick to the jaw! With champion and challenger both laid out, a furious Michaels left the ring and grabbed the WWF Championship belt from the timekeeper's table. Michaels marched to the back with the title, leaving the main event and the end of the pay-per-view in total disarray!
Card rating: *** 1/2
Circuit information: Shawn Michaels was raging after the show, claiming that both The Undertaker and Bret Hart had carried out unprovoked attacks on him, so he had taken matters into his own hands. In truth, Michaels absorbed two accidental blows, but the Heartbreak Kid saw things differently and laid out the main event participants with superkicks. Michaels is now in possession of the WWF Championship belt, which does not sit well with The Undertaker (who is still the champion by the way) nor Bret Hart, who has had another opportunity at the title spoiled by Michaels.
Jeff Jarrett may have robbed himself of an Intercontinental Title Match tonight after his sneak attack on Lex Luger, but that wasn't about to stop him inflicting further damage on the Total Package. Thankfully Crush showed up when he did to prevent Jarrett shattering Luger's kneecap with his guitar. The Intercontinental Title Match between Luger and Jarrett will be rescheduled for a later date once Luger is back to full fitness, but quite where Crush fits into the equation is unclear. PJ Walker and Bob Backlund looked set to claim the Tag Team Titles this evening, but then Lance Storm countered the Underdog with a pinning combination that Walker could not escape from. Unlike at WrestleMania it was not complacency that cost Walker the match, he was outwrestled, but Backlund was furious with his protege and slapped Walker for a third time. That is all Walker could take and the fired up youngster was all set to fight his mentor. The relationship between these two men appears to be beyond repair. The next challengers for the Tag Team Titles will be the Hollywood Blonds after Brian Pillman was victorious over Rocco Rock in the Body Count Match. However, Pillman was only able to earn the win after the Supermodels got involved and took out Rocco. But why on earth did Rick Martel and Raphael feel the need to interfere? Martel blamed the attack on Public Enemy destroying their expensive wardrobe, but I believe that there is more to this than meets the eye.
Titan completely dominated Bam Bam Bigelow in his first WWF match and then after the match choked his opponent out relentlessly with his massive bear claw-like hands. Bob Holly, Marty Jannetty and The Headshrinkers could not do a thing to stop Titan's choke job on Bigelow and the assault only ended when the nightstick-wielding Big Boss Man made his return. In all, it took five WWF superstars to get Bigelow out of Titan's clutches. No wonder Harvey Wippleman is beaming. Great Muta is the first man to advance in the King of the Ring and Gary Hart has been talking up Muta's chances to anyone who will listen. The qualifiers will get into full swing over the next few weeks. continuing tomorrow night on Monday Night RAW when Crush squares off with Max Moon.
Many thanks for inviting us In Your House tonight, we'll be back with all the fallout tomorrow evening on Monday Night RAW! Till then, so long everybody!!

A triangle PPV KotR main event with Michaels, Hart, and Undertaker wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Curious to hear what has Perfect and Windham in cahoots.

Monday Night RAW May 15th 1995 Broome County Arena, Binghamton, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
The show began with stills from the main event of last night's In Your House pay-per-view, where The Undertaker defended the WWF Title against Bret Hart with Shawn Michaels as guest referee. Michaels suffered accidental collisions with both champion and challenger which The Heartbreak Kid perceived to be deliberate. Michaels then dropped both men with superkicks and left with the WWF Championship belt, which still officially belongs to the Man from the Darkside.
[King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: Crush made The Birdman submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:07:10. Rating: ** 3/4 (Max Moon no-showed.)
After the match, Sean Mooney caught up with Crush at ringside and congratulated him on his win. Intercontinental Champion Lex Luger limped out and offered a handshake to thank Crush for coming to his aid last night at In Your House. Crush brushed him off and walked backstage to a smattering of boos.
Stills were shown from In Your House of the Big Boss Man returning and preventing Titan from doing any more damage to Bam Bam Bigelow. This is the Boss Man's first match back since tearing his groin in January.
Big Boss Man pinned Mike Sharpe with the Boss Man Slam in 0:02:36. Rating: 3/4*
A crown-less Jerry "The King" Lawler was preparing to present another edition of the King's Court when PJ Walker marched out to the ring. Lawler complained that Walker was not his scheduled guest, but Walker ignored him and snatched the mic off The King. Walker addressed the events at In Your House and said that he had lost all respect for Bob Backlund. Walker said he was refusing to let Backlund push him around any more and challenged Backlund to a match!
Bob Backlund made his way down to the ring. He seemed pleased at the prospect of wrestling his protégé. Backlund accepted the challenge and said he was proud to see that PJ had finally become a man. Backlund then offered a handshake to seal the deal and when Walker returned it, that's when Backlund struck! Backlund whipped Walker by the arm into the corner and Walker's shoulder connected with the ringpost! Backlund bent Walker's arm around the ringpost before applying the chicken-wing! Walker's face was contorted in pain as Backlund applied more and more pressure. There was no escape for Walker as Backlund continued to wrench back on the hold. Even Jerry Lawler began to show concern for PJ Walker and attempted to convince Backlund that Walker had had enough, before calling for help. Referees and road agents filled the ring, but Backlund refused to loosen his grip. Walker had been in the hold for what seemed like an eternity as the officials finally succeeded in breaking the hold. A wild-eyed Backlund once again looked down at his hands as Walker was helped from the ring.
Injury: PJ Walker was attacked by Bob Backlund PJ Walker received a shoulder injury and will be out for 2 months.
Footage was shown from during the commercial break of Bob Backlund attacking PJ Walker as PJ was helped to the medical room by officials. The maniacal Backlund slapped the chicken-wing on once again.
Highlights aired from the April 1st South Philly Hood Match between the Hollywood Blonds and Public Enemy. During the course of the bout, the fight spilled backstage and into the Supermodels' dressing room. where Public Enemy used items of designer clothing to put a hurting on the Blonds and ended up causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Video was then shown of a backstage discussion between the Supermodels and the Blonds which was captured on the April 15th edition of Superstars. Vince McMahon believed that the two teams had thrashed out some sort of deal which resulted in the Supermodels costing Rocco Rock the Body Count Match at In Your House. Bobby Heenan said the only collusion was in McMahon's head.
The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) defeated Nick Barberry and Bill Weaver when Martel pinned B. Weaver after the Fashion Victim in 0:04:01. Rating: * 3/4
After the match, Vince McMahon tackled the Supermodels for answers on why they interfered last night. Rick Martel said they had already explained themselves. McMahon put it to them that they had a cut a deal with the Hollywood Blonds and asked what they were getting out of it. Martel again refused to confirm or deny this.
Back from commercial and Shawn Michaels was strutting to the ring with the WWF Championship belt around his waist! Vince McMahon could not believe the audacity of The Heartbreak Kid. Michaels snatched the microphone from ring announcer Howard Finkel and stated that he was finally in possession of the title which for all intents and purposes should have been handed over to him already. Michaels said his hand was forced at In Your House and he was left with no choice but to leave The Undertaker and Bret Hart laying once again. The Heartbreak Kid called The Fink back in and demanded that Finkel announce him as the new WWF Champion! Finkel was hesitant and Michaels began to threaten him, when suddenly all the lights in the arena went out!
A bell tolled and when the lights came back on, The Undertaker was in the ring with a hand around Shawn Michaels' throat! The Undertaker wanted his WWF Title back and he did not mind choking Shawn Michaels out to do so! Diesel hit the ring to do what he is paid to do, but The Undertaker released his grip on Michaels and cut Diesel off. The Undertaker unloaded with lefts and rights in the corner and then took Diesel down with a flying clothesline! Diesel returned to his feet and walked straight into a choke slam from The Deadman, while Michaels seized the opportunity to sneak out of the ring with the WWF Championship belt! Michaels started running down the aisle, only to be met by Bret Hart at the entrance way! The Hitman forced Shawn Michaels back into the ring to face the music.
Bret Hart and The Undertaker each took a turn to rock The Heartbreak Kid with a haymaker, bouncing Shawn Michaels around like a pinball. 'Taker then goozled Michaels and drilled him with a choke slam, before stripping the WWF Championship belt from the helpless Michaels' waist and reclaiming it as his own. Bret Hart pointed at the title and made it clear that this situation was not over between he and The Undertaker. Circuit information: Bob Backlund's vicious attack on PJ Walker tonight was sickening, using his dreaded cross-face chicken wing armlock to trap his former protege for several minutes until some help finally came to the ring. Backlund completely snapped, apparently out of sheer frustration at an inability to capture the Tag Team Titles, something he blames Walker for. PJ Walker suffered a serious shoulder injury and is expected to be out of action for most of the summer.
The Undertaker regained possession of his WWF Championship belt from Shawn Michaels tonight, thanks in no small part to Bret Hart. But the Hitman would love nothing more to wear the title around his waist again, having had his last two opportunities to do so disrupted by the Heartbreak Kid.
Crush joins the already qualified Great Muta in the next round of the King of the Ring tournament following his win over The Birdman tonight. However, Crush was not interested in anything Lex Luger had to say after the match and rejected the offering of an olive branch from the Intercontinental Champion.
You can find out who joins Crush and Muta this weekend on Superstars when Mr Perfect squares off against The British Bulldog in another King of the Ring qualifying match. Plus, the Heavenly Bodies make their in-ring debut and Repo Man and Hardcore Champion Taz will be in action. Till then, so long everybody!

WWF Superstars May 20th, 1995 O'Neil Center, Danbury, CT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Taz defeated John Chrystal when John Chrystal passed out in a choke sleeper in 0:03:52. Rating: ** 1/4
Harvey Wippleman led his clients Adam Bomb and Titan out for an interview at the podium with Sean Mooney. Wippleman said that he was tired of people touching him and pushing him around. Now that he has the seven-foot Titan by his side, Wippleman said that we was going to rule professional wrestling. Wippleman warned that every so-called tough guy who thinks they can make some kind of a reputation, or make their name at his expense, should watch what happened to Bam Bam Bigelow at In Your House and then think again. Wippleman then proudly announced that Titan will represent him in the King of the Ring tournament.
Uh-oh - that announcement did not sit well with Adam Bomb. Bomb confronted Wippleman, stating that he'd been managed by Wippleman for two years, unlike Titan who'd been in the company for two minutes, and therefore he should be in the King of the Ring. Wippleman got aggressive, reminding Bomb that he'd entered the King of the Ring last year but lost in the first round, so he blew it. Wippleman continued that he had put his trust in Bomb to get the job done against Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania and protect him, but he blew it again. In fact, Wippleman had come to the end of his tether with Bomb screwing up so much, so he fired him! The Creation of Devastation burst into anger at his now ex-manager and grabbed him by the lapels of his cheap suit, but Titan struck with a headbutt that floored Bomb! Titan then choked out Adam Bomb and then laid him out on the interview podium with a choke slam!! Wippleman straightened his jacket and then spat abuse at his former client before leaving with Titan.
The Heavenly Bodies (Jimmy Del Ray and Tom Prichard) defeated The Spiders (Spider #1 and Spider #2) when J. Del Ray pinned Spider #1 with the Moonsault Bodyblock in 0:04:21. Rating: ** 1/4
During the match, The Heavenly Bodies cut an insert promo alongside their manager Tammy Fytch. Tom Prichard said he believes they have some fish in this company called The Thrillseekers. He said that they may be the World Tag Team Champions, but they are not the best tag team in the world.
The Heavenly Bodies displayed some nice double team manoeuvres, with Jimmy Del Ray superkicking one of The Spiders into a DDT from Tom Prichard. Del Ray drilled the other Spider with a hurricane DDT and following a double suplex, Del Ray finished with a moonsault press.
Repo Man made Gary Scott submit to the Crowbar in 0:04:07. Gary Scott suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: 1/4*
During the match, Jerry Lawler left the announcers booth and went to retrieve his crown from ringside. As Repo had his opponent tied up in the Crowbar, Lawler swiped the crown from the corner of the ring and put it on his head. Lawler was positively beaming at having his crown back again...until Repo Man struck with baseball slide which sent Lawler into the guardrail! Repo picked up the crown and ran off to the back, leaving Lawler clutching his face.
After the match, Jerry Lawler took his frustration out on poor Gary Scott, laying him out with a piledriver.
Footage was shown of Barry Windham interfering in last week's match between Mr Perfect and Savio Vega, where he cost the Caribbean Superstar the match and joined forces with Perfect. Windham and Perfect then made their way down to the ring and The Widowmaker took the mic. Windham admitted that he and Perfect have had their issues in the past, but they can agree on one thing and that is their total and utter disgust for the so-called New Generation. Windham said that he and Perfect were not going to stand idly by and watch these newcomers come in and think they can hang with established superstars such as them without earning their spots. Perfect ripped into the New Generation with their "cocky hair-dos" and added that their fathers had not paved the way in this business for young punks like Savio Vega to run amok.
Mr Perfect then demanded that his King of the Ring Qualifier opponent the British Bulldog get down to the ring so Perfect can begin his quest to win the crown.
[King of the Ring Qualifying Match]: British Bulldog pinned Mr. Perfect with the Running Powerslam in 0:12:51. Rating: ** 3/4
During the match, Savio Vega made his way down to ringside and brawled with Barry Windham. This distracted Mr Perfect, who was then powerslammed and eliminated from the King of the Ring tournament.
After the match, Barry Windham threw Savio Vega into the ring and he and Mr Perfect laid a beatdown on the Caribbean Superstar. Windham held Vega for Perfect to take a number of free shots until the British Bulldog returned to make the save.
Circuit information: Mr Perfect and Barry Windham have declared war on the New Generation and their determination will only have strengthened after Savio Vega went after Windham during tonight's King of the Ring Qualifier, which led to Perfect dropping the bout to the British Bulldog. Vega will be in King of the Ring Qualifying action against Scott Steiner this coming week on Monday Night RAW and I would not bet against Perfect or Windham making an appearance.
Harvey Wippleman clearly believes he's untouchable now that he has Titan by his side. Tonight he fired Adam Bomb after the Creation of Devastation took exception that Wippleman had named Titan as his representative in the King of the Ring and not him. Six superstars struggled to stop Titan at In Your House, so who would bet against Titan going all the way on June 25th? As luck would have it, the very man who stepped up and confronted Titan at In Your House, the Big Boss Man, will be Titan's opponent in the King of the Ring qualifier and you'll see that match next week on Superstars.
Make sure you join us this week for Monday Night RAW where in addition to the aforementioned King of the Ring Qualifying Match the Ultimate Warrior will be in action, as will the deranged Bob Backlund! Till then, so long everybody!
