WWF Superstars October 22nd, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
After the opening titles, Shawn Michaels made his way down to the ring, with Liz on his arm, to cut a promo on Razor Ramon. Michaels, who cost Ramon the Intercontinental Title at SummerSlam by interfering in the Bad Guy's match with Scott Steiner and then got involved once again in the steel cage rematch, asked Ramon if he had learned his lesson yet. The Heartbreak Kid warned that if Ramon keeps sticking his nose where it isn't wanted, then Ramon must keep on dealing with the consequences!
The crowd exploded as Razor Ramon, who had clearly heard enough of Shawn Michaels' diatribe, ran out from the back! Michaels bailed out of the ring with Ramon hot on his heels! The Bad Guy chased Michaels around the ring a couple of times, before the Heartbreak Kid tripped up, leaving himself at Ramon's mercy! Michaels was desperately begging off and the fans were firmly behind Ramon, willing him to beat the living daylights out of Michaels! Before Razor had the chance to inflict any damage, he was attacked by Scott Steiner and Tom Billington of Fytch Wrestling Enterprises! The crowd voiced their disapproval as Steiner and Billington tossed Ramon into the ring and put the boots to him, allowing Michaels to slink off to the back unscathed. Davey Boy Smith then hit the ring to even the odds with a referee in tow. Smith demanded that the referee call for the bell and start the bout so he could get his hands on Billington legally without any repercussions from management! This evening's feature match-up was off to an impromptu start!
Fytch Wrestling Enterprises (Tom Billington and Scott Steiner) defeated Davey Boy Smith and Razor Ramon when Billington pinned Davey Boy with the Dynamite Diving Headbutt in 0:19:48. Rating: **** [Tammy Fytch interfered against Davey Boy Smith.]
The Fytch Wrestling Enterprises duo used some shady tactics to isolate Davey Boy Smith from Razor Ramon, while at the same time keeping the Bad Guy at bay. Ramon grew more and more agitated on the apron until finally he could not stand any more and cleaned house, decking Steiner and Billington with hard rights. The Bad Guy laid out Steiner with a bulldog and Billington with a fallaway slam, before signalling for the finish. Shawn Michaels then wandered back out to ringside, taunting Ramon! Razor snapped and took off after Michaels, who retreated quickly to the backstage area. Davey Boy Smith was therefore left all alone against two men and, after a brave effort, the odds ultimately proved too much for him. Steiner dropped Smith with a double underhook power bomb and Davey Boy was then easy prey for Billington's perfectly executed diving headbutt. To add insult to injury, Billington then pinned his former tag team partner with one foot on his chest to the disgust of the fans in attendance.
Duke Droese pinned JW Storm with the Trash Compactor in 0:05:19. Rating: 1/2*
In an insert promo during the match, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese once again invited challengers for his Hardcore Title.
Footage aired from this past week on Monday Night RAW, when Bam Bam Bigelow cleared the ring of WWF Champion Big Van Vader and challenged him to a title match. Vince McMahon announced that the Beast from the East will appear on Friar Ferguson's Sermon this coming week on RAW.
Jeff Jarrett pinned Matt Hardy with the Encore in 0:04:49. Rating: **
During the bout, Man Mountain Rock cut an insert promo. Rock addressed Jeff Jarrett and his cronies, claiming that he hadn't forgotten about their attack on him and promised to make his return from injury very soon!
Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler discussed Jack Tunney's decision to hold up the WWF Tag Team Titles and have them contested in the company's first ever Ladder Match between The Hollywood Blonds and The Thrillseekers at the Survivor Series. Sean Mooney then interviewed the Blonds, who were furious. Steve Austin said that the Thrillseekers hadn't beaten them last week so he and Brian Pillman should still have the gold. Pillman claimed that a Ladder Match however will suit them just fine. Pillman stated that he and Austin have been climbing the ladder of success their whole lives, and when they climb the ladder at Survivor Series they'll take their titles back!
The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly) defeated Corey Student and Mike Sharpe when Blake pinned C. Student after a diving headbutt in 0:02:54. Rating: * 1/2
It had been a successful night for Fytch Wrestling Enterprises and a beaming Tammy Fytch took the mic after this bout. Fytch claimed that instead of having a Ladder Match for the Tag Team Titles at Survivor Series, Jack Tunney should just go ahead and hand the belts over to the Beverly Brothers, because Beau and Blake will have the gold around their waists sooner or later. Fytch added that if The Hollywood Blonds or The Thrillseekers ever stepped in the ring with the Beverlys, there would be no controversial finish as the winners would be clear for everyone to see!
Backstage, Razor Ramon was on the hunt for Shawn Michaels when he bumped into Davey Boy Smith. Smith confronted Ramon and accused him of leaving him high and dry. Smith was right in Ramon's face and ended up pushing him too far as the Bad Guy tackled him into the wall! The two men traded punches on the ground and ended up having to be separated by officials and road agents as the show drew to a close!
Circuit information: Shawn Michaels has succeeded in getting under Razor Ramon's skin to the point that the Bad Guy is going crazy. Tonight, Ramon was so wound up that he lashed out at Davey Boy Smith after Smith had pulled him up over Ramon deserting him in their tag team match. Michaels showed up during the bout and Ramon lost it, forgetting where he was momentarily and chasing The Heartbreak Kid to the back. Michaels cannot run forever.
The tag team match had been outstanding up to that point. However, with the odds stacked against him, Davey Boy Smith soon fell to the duo of his great rival Tom Billington and Scott Steiner. Billington rubbed salt into the wounds by opting to pin Smith with one foot. Smith was enraged after the show, not just with Razor Ramon but at the humiliation he felt following his loss to Billington.
We're bringing you a packed show this week on Monday Night RAW, where Crush will challenge Ludvig Borga in an arm wrestling match! Plus, Scotty Flamingo takes on Bob Backlund's protege PJ Walker in a singles contest! Also scheduled to join us are Mr. Perfect, The Birdman and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers! Till then, so long everybody!!

Tom Billington is really getting on my nerves. Good job of writing him up because I hope that someday DBS beats the crap out of him.

Monday Night RAW October 24th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Macho Man Randy Savage.
The arena erupted with joy as Macho Man Randy Savage made his return to the commentary table at the beginning of the show! Savage had been sidelined for four months with internal injuries following two brutal matches with WWF Champion Big Van Vader this past summer and the fans were delighted to see him again. Vince McMahon gave Savage a hearty handshake to welcome him back, while the Bobby Heenan - who was less than thrilled to be sharing announcing duties with Savage again - weaselled out of shaking the Macho Man's hand.
PJ Walker pinned Scotty Flamingo after a crucifix in 0:09:07. Rating: ** 1/4
It was obvious that Scotty Flamingo was treating PJ Walker as a joke as he slapped around the youngster to start. Backlund advised Walker to keep his cool and PJ shocked Flamingo with a series of armdrags and a dropkick! Flamingo began to get serious and dominated Walker with a dropkick, a belly-to-back suplex and a fistdrop. Walker avoided the Hang Ten flying knee and took over with a dropkick, a flying clothesline and a flying bulldog. Walker went up top and connected with a flying cross body, but Flamingo kicked out at the very last second! Walker went for another, but Flamingo countered with a dropkick. Flamingo then covered Walker in the cockiest manner possible, leaning back on the youngster and crossing his legs! However, Walker then hooked up the unsuspecting Flamingo in a crucifix and held him down for the three count!!!
PJ Walker celebrated with Bob Backlund and then with the fans at ringside as Scotty Flamingo blew a gasket! Backlund then looked at Flamingo and grinned. Macho Man Randy Savage congratulated Walker with a hug as Flamingo scuttled off to the back, attempting to shield his face from the cameras!
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated George South and Tyrone Knox when J. Rougeau pinned G. South after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:05:29. Rating: *
Gene Okerlund hosted the first Survivor Series report, in which he revealed that Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels will captain two teams to do battle in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match. Okerlund added that WWF President Jack Tunney was allowing Ramon and Michaels to recruit their own teammates for the match. This was followed by comments from Razor Ramon, who was satisfied with the announcement as it meant that Shawn Michaels couldn't run anymore and at some point during their bout, he would get his hands on the Heartbreak Kid! Shawn Michaels then cut a promo, in he had revealed that he was wasting no time and had already made the perfect pick! Michaels brought in Mr Perfect, who added that with him on the side, there could be no doubt that this is the Perfect team!
The Birdman pinned Jim Powers with the One Fell Swoop in 0:05:48. Rating: ** 1/4
Bam Bam Bigelow was Friar Ferguson's guest on this week's edition of the Sermon. Bigelow said that the comments from Harley Race last week struck a nerve with him. Bigelow claimed he was sick of hearing of how mean, how strong and how agile Big Van Vader is, when the Beast from the East is more mean, more strong and more agile. Bigelow panned his manager Harvey Wippleman for failing to secure a single title shot for him in the past six months, which is why the Beast from the East decided to take matters into his own hands last week. Harvey Wippleman then made his way out to respond. Wippleman claimed that he was waiting until the time was right to unleash Bigelow and warned that Bam Bam doesn't realise what he is getting himself into by getting in Vader's face. Bigelow disagreed and said that he would never realise his full potential if he continued to hang around with Wippleman. The Beast from the East proceeded to fire Wippleman as his manager to the delight of the crowd!
Harvey Wippleman left the ring, shaking his head in disgust. A fired up Bam Bam Bigelow promised that his future is going to burn bigger and burn brighter than it has ever burned before. Bam Bam added that next week, Big Van Vader will feel the burn and Bigelow will walk out the new WWF Champion!
Mr. Perfect pinned Austin Steele with the Perfect Plex in 0:05:48. Rating: ** 1/4
After the match, Tatanka emerged from the back and began to march towards the ring. However, a swarm of officials and road agents followed him out and blocked his path, preventing him from getting near Mr. Perfect. Perfect taunted Tatanka, knowing full well that the Native American could not get near him. Razor Ramon then appeared and attempted to calm Tatanka down. Ramon whispered something to Tatanka while pointing at Perfect. Perfect's expression turned to one of concern as Tatanka nodded at Ramon and shook the Bad Guy's hand. It certainly appears that Ramon has found his first teammate at Survivor Series, which means that Tatanka and Mr. Perfect will be on opposite sides this Thanksgiving Eve!
As the show went to commercial, Vince McMahon excitedly announced that Gene Okerlund will be standing by with the Arm Wrestling Match next!
Crush made his way down to the ring to a tremendous ovation while the entire Black Friday Management stable waited patiently in the squared circle. Crush eyed up Ludvig Borga as he entered the ring cautiously. Crush took the mic from Gene Okerlund and challenged Borga to make this man against man. Gary Hart quickly conferred with Borga and then instructed the rest of Black Friday Management to stand outside the ring. The fans were firmly in Crush's corner as the two men prepared to lock hands. There was barely any movement in the early going as each man strained for the advantage. Borga began to take control though and almost had Crush's arm at a 90 degree angle! The Original Hawaiian Punch fed off the energy from the crowd though and fought back up! Randy Savage rallied the fans behind Crush as the big Hawaiian forced Borga's arm back up! Crush was coming out on top in this epic struggle and was inches away from slamming Borga's arm down on the table when the Great Muta hit the ring and spewed a mouthful of green mist into Crush's face!
Arm Wrestling Match: Crush defeated Ludvig Borga by disqualification in an Arm Wrestling Match. Time of Match: 2 Minutes and 25 Seconds.
Blinded and defenceless, Crush hit the canvas following a vicious punch from Ludvig Borga. The Hellraiser from Helsinki then lifted up the arm wrestling table and dropped it across Crush's back! Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and the Big Boss Man ran out from the back to make the save, but they were cut off at ringside by Taz and the Arabian Butchers!! Borga picked Crush up onto his shoulders and began stretching him in the torture rack! With officials and agents unable to access the ring, Crush was totally helpless. Vince McMahon feared for the long term damage to Crush's back while Randy Savage grew ever more agitated at the commentary table. Borga revelled in the jeers of the fans as he paraded around the ring with Crush on his shoulders! Suddenly, Savage flung down his headset and climbed to the top turnbuckle! The Macho Man connected with a flying axhandle to Borga's head, breaking the torture rack and freeing Crush! Savage ducked a kick from Muta and connected with a succession of jabs, before clotheslining the Pearl of the Orient from the ring! As Borga tried to shake off the effects of the top rope axhandle, Savage struck with a high knee to the back which sent Borga through the ropes! The referees and suits tried desperately to restore order at ringside, while Savage helped Crush back to his feet. Crush was absolutely seething at Ludvig Borga and Black Friday Management as the show went off-air!
Circuit information: The Crush-Ludvig Borga arm wrestling contest was a tense affair which went back and forth several times. However, just when it appeared that Crush would slam Borga's arm down on the table, the Great Muta jumped in and blinded Crush with the green mist. That triggered an attack from Borga on the defenceless Hawaiian while the rest of Black Friday Management prevented anybody from coming to Crush's aid. Thankfully, Macho Man Randy Savage - who had returned to announcing duties following a long absence through injury - could not take any more and hit the ring, flooring the Hellraiser from Helsinki with a huge axhandle. The war between Crush and Black Friday Management has been cranked up a notch now that the big Hawaiian has found himself a group of willing allies.
The weeks of training under the tutelage of former WWF Champion Bob Backlund finally paid off for PJ Walker tonight as the young New Yorker scored his very first victory! Walker punished Scotty Flamingo for his conceitedness as he hooked Flamingo in a crucifix for the pin after Flamingo attempted an arrogant cover. The win was particularly sweet for Backlund, not just because his protege came out on top, but he gained a measure of revenge for his own defeat to Flamingo at WrestleMania X. Flamingo is thoroughly humiliated by this turn of events and has vowed not to take it lying down.
Make sure you tune in this weekend for Superstars where the Lightning Kid, Tom Billington, Owen Hart and The Berzerker are all scheduled to join us! Plus, we'll bring you more build up to the massive WWF Championship Match next week on Monday Night RAW between Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow! Till then, so long everybody!

Hmmm, Scotty Flamingo is humiliated and hiding his face from the camera? Could this be an angle that leads to the creation of Raven? :-)

Kind of figured you'd hold off on Vader/Bigelow until Survivor Series. Doesn't mean the match won't take place there too.
Like the setup for Team Razor vs. Team Michaels. Tatanka & Perfect are great picks for the teams, respectively. Survivor Series is a great chance to get a lot of feuds settled/moved forward at the same time and add new levels.
I agree that this could be the great catalyst for the birth of Raven.
Wonder if you'll do the Crush heel turn on Savage in a similar fashion that he turned on him in real life.

Great show. We all knew how the arm wrestling match would end but it still was done well. Good to see Savage back. Wasn't expecting him to get involved right away. The odds have really been evened now against Black Friday. And that pretty much gives us another Survivor Series match of Black Friday vs Savage/Crush/Owen/Janetty/Bossman.
I too look forward to seeing Flamingo's future.
Bigelow~!

WWF Superstars October 29th, 1994 Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
The show opened with comments from Repo Man and the Lightning Kid ahead of their clash in the main event of the show.
Tom Billington pinned Barry Hardy with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:04:45. Rating: ** 1/2
After putting away Barry Hardy without barely breaking a sweat, Tom Billington took the mic afterwards and bragged about pinning his former tag team partner Davey Boy Smith last week. Billington said that he had defeated Smith twice now and claimed that there was no longer any doubt about who the strongest member of the British Bulldogs team was. Davey Boy Smith had heard enough and came out to angrily confront Billington. Smith said he had thought a lot about Jack Tunney's warning. The WWF President has threatened to indefinitely suspend both of them in the event of any physical contact outside of an officially sanctioned match. Smith believed it was clear that this company isn't big enough for the both of them, so he suggested a career vs career match at Survivor Series! The crowd voiced their approval for such a high stakes match, as Smith added that at Survivor Series, whoever survives their match stays in the company!
Tammy Fytch attempted to jump in and talk to Tom Billington before her charge made any rash decisions, but Billington wanted to clarify the terms of the bout. Billington asked Davey Boy Smith to confirm that all he has to do is beat Smith one more time and he'll never have to deal with him again. Smith reiterated the stipulation but added that Billington will never defeat him again. Billington accepted the challenge, much to Tammy Fytch's displeasure. Billington told Smith to prepare the speech for his leaving ceremony as Davey Boy left the ring, satisfied that he had got his match with Billington at Survivor Series. However, Fytch was extremely upset at what is at stake and she and Billington argued as the show went to commercial.
Owen Hart pinned Ray Hudson with the Rocket Launcher in 0:04:00. Rating: ** 3/4
During the bout, Owen Hart cut an insert promo in which he talked about the events of this past Monday night where he, Randy Savage, Big Boss Man and Marty Jannetty came to the aid of Crush when the big Hawaiian was being brutalised by Black Friday Management. The Rocket said that Gary Hart's stable couldn't rely on the numbers game any more and pondered how they would cope in a fair fight.
Jerry "The King" Lawler announced that following the shocking events after the arm wrestling contest last week on Monday Night RAW, he will interview Crush and Macho Man Randy Savage this coming week on the King's Court.
Backstage, Tom Billington and Tammy Fytch were embroiled in a huge blowup. Fytch was screaming at Billington for not discussing the stipulations with her first before agreeing to put his career up against Davey Boy Smith at Survivor Series. Billington accused Fytch of having no faith in him. He vowed to get the job done at Survivor Series, with or without her by his side!
Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz made Chris Kanyon submit to the Seventh Inning Stretch in 0:06:00. Rating: **
Shawn Michaels was standing by with WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner. The Heartbreak Kid bragged that as usual, he is one step ahead of Razor Ramon. Michaels announced that Scott Steiner is the newest member of his Survivor Series team because just like HBK, Steiner knows how to beat the Bad Guy. There was some apparent tension between Liz and an already stirred-up Tammy Fytch during the course of this segment.
The Berzerker pinned Dwight Polk after a kick to the head in 0:03:00. Rating: ** 1/4
Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler previewed the WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow this coming week on Monday Night RAW. McMahon acknowledged that there are not many men walking the face of the earth that can go toe to toe with Vader, but felt that the Beast from the East might be one of them!
Lightning Kid pinned Repo Man with the Lightning Bolt in 0:11:12. Rating: ** 3/4
After the match, Razor Ramon made his way down to the ring and applauded the Lightning Kid's efforts. Ramon took the mic and described how impressed he is with the Kid. The Bad Guy added that the air of unpredictability which the Lightning Kid brings is just what he needs at the Survivor Series. Ramon offered a spot on his team to the Kid, who gratefully accepted. Ramon and the Kid shook hands on the deal as the Bad Guy's team starts to take shape!
Circuit information: Following tonight's show, Shawn Michaels and Scott Steiner were caught laughing at Razor Ramon's latest pick for his Survivor Series team. Michaels and Steiner obviously do not view the Lightning Kid as any kind of threat, but they should know better than to underestimate this young superstar. The Kid joins Tatanka on the Bad Guy's team, while The Heartbreak Kid's side currently consists of Mr. Perfect and WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner.
The stakes couldn't be higher at Survivor Series as Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington will face off in a match where the loser must leave the WWF! Tammy Fytch is certainly not happy about Billington accepting such a match without her blessing and appears to be concerned that she could lose her meal ticket.
Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow will square off for the WWF Championship this week on Monday Night RAW. There seems to be the general feeling that the newly-focused Bigelow could be the very man that is able to dethrone the Mastodon and capture the title. The Beast from the East can certainly match Vader for size and agility, but he'll have to be aware of the threat from Harley Race at ringside. Make sure you tune in this Monday night!!

WWF @ New York City, NY October 29th, 1994 Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY
Owen Hart pinned Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz after a flying dropkick in 0:06:15. Rating: ** 3/4
Ludvig Borga pinned Bob Holly with the Rack and Ruin in 0:05:49. Rating: *** [Gary Hart interfered against Bob Holly.]
Big Boss Man defeated Jeff Jarrett by disqualification in 0:13:08. Rating: *** 1/4 [The Roadie interfered against Big Boss Man.]
Big Boss Man was heading for victory after he connected with a huge spinebuster, but The Roadie broke the pin and Double J was disqualified. Jarrett and the Roadie then attempted to drill Boss Man with a guitar shot, but Boss Man grabbed his nightstick from the corner and the Tennessee Lee Promotions contingent fled.
Shawn Michaels pinned Lightning Kid with the Piledriver in 0:15:21. Rating: **** [Liz interfered against Lightning Kid.]
Shawn Michaels came out on top in this gripping encounter with the Lightning Kid. After the match, Michaels antagonised Razor Ramon by signalling for the Razor's Edge on the Kid. This brought the Bad Guy out from the back to a tremendous ovation! The Heartbreak Kid quickly begged off but before Ramon could get his hands on Michaels, he was attacked from behind by WWF Intercontinental Champion Scott Steiner! Steiner and Michaels put the boots to Ramon, before officials and road agents intervened and forced the Heartbreak Kid to the back.
Tammy Fytch then grabbed the house microphone and demanded that the scheduled Intercontinental Title Match between Scott Steiner and Razor Ramon start right now! The referee consulted with Ramon, who had been left battered and bruised, and advised that the bout be delayed until later in the evening. The Bad Guy defiantly instructed that the official call for the bell to begin the match, much to the delight of the crowd!
Razor Ramon defeated Scott Steiner by disqualification in 0:14:17. Rating: *** (Scott Steiner retained the WWF Intercontinental Title.) [Tammy Fytch interfered against Razor Ramon.]
Despite the pre-match beatdown, Razor Ramon brought the fight to Scott Steiner and appeared to be en route to recapture his title when he blocked a hiptoss and connected with a choke slam. With the fans in a frenzy, Ramon signalled for the Razor's Edge but unbeknownst to The Bad Guy, Tammy Fytch had slipped the Intercontinental Title belt to Steiner. Ramon tried to drag Steiner up off the canvas, but Steiner struck Ramon with the belt for the cheap DQ!
The crowd voiced their disapproval for the unsatisfying finish. Scott Steiner didn't care though and went to plant Razor Ramon with the SDD. However, Ramon escaped the hold, kicked Steiner in the gut and left him laying with the Razor's Edge! Ramon lifted up the Intercontinental Title but then dumped it on Steiner's body before glaring at Tammy Fytch and exiting the ring.
Great Muta pinned Marty Jannetty with the Moonsault Press in 0:08:04. Rating: *** 1/2 (Adam Bomb no-showed.)
Big Van Vader pinned Crush with the Vader Bomb in 0:16:05. Rating: *** 1/4 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race and Ludvig Borga interfered against Crush.]
The tide turned in this WWF Championship Match when Big Van Vader missed a moonsault and Crush took over with a dropkick and bodyslam, before laying out the champion with the Kona Crash. Crush went for the cover, but the official was tied up with Harley Race. As Crush went to investigate, Ludvig Borga appeared and attacked the challenger with vicious kidney punches! Borga quickly rolled out of the ring and Race allowed the referee to get back to the action. Vader then hit a splash followed by the Vader Bomb for the three count.
The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) and Tatanka defeated The Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) and Mr. Perfect when Jericho pinned S. Austin after the Sudden Impact in 0:33:04. Rating: ****
This was a fantastic main event to the show and the almost 10,000 strong crowd certainly did not leave Madison Square Garden disappointed. All six men put in a tremendous effort in this fast-paced, innovative and exciting contest. The trio of the Thrillseekers and Tatanka emerged victorious when Chris Jericho and Lance Storm connected with the Sudden Impact on Steve Austin.
Card rating: *** 1/2

I like Vader as the champion. I always thought WWF missed the boat on him. He could've been one of the greatest as a dominant heel champion but that never was their style. WCW used him perfectly during the early 90's.

You'd think by now Steiner/Ramon could pull off a better match than *** with each other.
A team of Austin, Pillman, and Perfect is close to as perfect a six-man team as you can get. Wow.

Monday Night RAW October 31st, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Comments from champion and challenger opened the show ahead of Big Van Vader defending his WWF Championship against Bam Bam Bigelow in the main event of the show. A tale of the tape graphic comparing Vader and Bigelow appeared on the screen from which Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan surmised that there is not a lot to choose between the two monsters.
Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Butler Stevens and Tom Stone when B. Holly pinned B. Stevens with the Fender Bender in 0:05:47. Rating: * 3/4
Scotty Flamingo cut a promo in which he said he had never been embarrassed so much in his life as he was last week by Bob Backlund and PJ Walker. Flamingo said he would have his revenge on both and challenged the duo to a tag team match next week against himself and his new best friend, Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz!
Damien DeMento pinned Scott Avery with the Schizophrenic in 0:05:40. Rating: *
Gene Okerlund presented an edition of the Survivor Series report, which featured footage from the aftermath of last week's Arm Wrestling Contest between Crush and Ludvig Borga. Okerlund announced that following the events of last week, a special ten man elimination match has been signed for the pay-per-view which will see the Black Friday Management contingent of Ludvig Borga, Great Muta, Taz and the Arabian Butchers take on the team of Crush, Macho Man Randy Savage, Big Boss Man, Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty!
Jerry Lawler's guests on this week's edition of the King's Court were scheduled to be Crush and Randy Savage, but instead Crush's entire Survivor Series team appeared which made Lawler nervous. Crush said that Gary Hart's Black Friday Management are a bunch of cowards who are only tough when they are in a gang and last week's attack proved that. Crush added that at Survivor Series, they won't have the numbers advantage any more because he has four friends backing him up and together they have strength in numbers. Randy Savage took the mic and christened their group "S.I.N.", the acronym for Strength In Numbers. Savage warned that the sins perpetrated by Black Friday Management shall not be forgotten and at Survivor Series, this S.I.N. will destroy the sinners!
Rockabilly pinned Ben Jordan with the Rockabilly Boogie in 0:05:58. Rating: 3/4* [Tennessee Lee interfered against Ben Jordan.]
During the bout, Man Mountain Rock called in to the show and announced that he would be back next week. Rock said that this meant bad news for Jeff Jarrett, Rockabilly, The Roadie and anybody else associated with Tennessee Lee Promotions!
Big Van Vader pinned Bam Bam Bigelow after a splash in 0:15:24. Rating: *** 3/4 (Big Van Vader retained the WWF World Heavyweight Title.) [Harley Race and Adam Bomb interfered against Bam Bam Bigelow.]
Both of these behemoths charged at each other to begin the contest, with neither man gaining any real advantage. Bam Bam Bigelow hit Big Van Vader with a hiptoss and the champion rolled to the outside to regroup. The Mastodon was visibly frustrated, lifting the timekeeper's table up and smashing it to the floor! Back in the ring, Bigelow and Vader went back and forth in a test of strength until Vader cut Bigelow off with a kneelift. Vader dominated the Beast from the East with a short clothesline, a belly-to-back suplex and an avalanche which earned a near fall. The WWF Champion then clotheslined Bigelow over the top rope as the show went to commercial.
Big Van Vader took down Bam Bam Bigelow with a flying lariat and then the fight then spilled to the outside. Vader missed a charge and struck the guardrail hard, appearing to injure his shoulder in the process. Bigelow worked over Vader's shoulder with a series of headbutts. Fearing that his man was in danger, Harley Race attempted to get involved but Bigelow met him with a stiff headbutt which sent Race crashing to the floor! The fans were firmly behind Bigelow as the Beast from the East floored Vader with a flying shoulder tackle which connected directly with the champion's injured shoulder! Bam Bam signalled for the finish and climbed to the top rope for the diving headbutt, when suddenly Adam Bomb appeared out of nowhere and shoved Bigelow off! Bigelow struck the canvas awkwardly and Vader quickly seized the opportunity, splashing Bigelow for the pinfall!
Bam Bam Bigelow certainly appeared to be heading for the WWF Championship until Adam Bomb got involved and Bigelow left the ring to go in search of the Creation of Devastation, while still in a state of confusion following the closing stages of the bout. A crazed Harley Race took the mic and yelled that there is nobody left to challenge Big Van Vader! Race proclaimed that nobody would ever take the WWF Championship off Vader and that the Mastodon would reign over the company until the end of time! Suddenly, a single gong sounded and the arena plunged into darkness!
The fans were in raptures as The Undertaker's music began to play. A spotlight lit up the entrance way where Paul Bearer emerged. Bearer was pushing a giant casket down the aisle. Big Van Vader and Harley Race looked at each other in disbelief, unsure what to make of the events that were unfolding. Bearer arrived at ringside and pointed a finger at Vader, warning the WWF Champion. Race told Vader to go after Bearer and the casket. Vader left the ring and went to open the casket, but suddenly the lid burst open and a familiar figure sat up!! It was the return of the Undertaker, who was wearing a ghoulish Phantom of the Opera style mask over his face!! Vader reared back at the ghastly sight in front of him and backed off, almost tripping over himself! The Undertaker stared a hole through Vader, who looked like he had seen a ghost! Vader slowly retreated in a state of utter shock, while the camera got a good shot of The Undertaker's eerie visage!!
Circuit information: What an astonishing night it was tonight on Monday Night RAW! The Undertaker chose this evening - on Hallowe'en, no less - to make his return, popping out of a casket to confront Big Van Vader at the end of the show! It was Vader who sidelined the Undertaker over two months ago when he took a steel wrench to the Phenom's face, the effects of which were there for all to see tonight. 'Taker suffered a broken orbital bone and a broken nose in the sickening assault from Vader and he appeared tonight wearing a hideous grey mask. Vader looked like he was staring death itself in the face when he caught a glimpse of The Undertaker's new look. Have we finally seen fear in the eyes of Big Van Vader??
Bam Bam Bigelow was one diving headbutt away from capturing the WWF Title, but Adam Bomb showed up to shatter Bigelow's dreams of championship glory. Bigelow and Bomb were teammates in Harvey Wippleman's stable, but after Bigelow dared to challenge Vader to a title match he and Wippleman had a very public break-up. While it is only conjecture at this stage, we must assume that Wippleman was behind Bomb's interference tonight.
Another match has been made official for Survivor Series as Black Friday Management will collide with Crush and Randy Savage's Strength In Numbers group. We'll get a preview of that battle this weekend on Superstars as Big Boss Man goes one-on-one with Manuel from the Arabian Butchers! Also on the show, Skinner, the Swiss Bobsleigh Team and "Dynamite" Tom Billington are all scheduled for action, plus we'll bring you an interview with the disgruntled former WWF Tag Team Champions, The Hollywood Blonds! Till then, so long everybody!

Nice return by the Undertaker there, especially the mask.
The faces calling themselves "S.I.N." is pretty silly. Then again, probably the kind of thing Hogan and Savage were doing around this time IRL vs the Dungeon in WCW.

WWF Superstars November 5th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
The Big Boss Man vs Manuel match was scheduled to go on first but the former corrections officer was jumped from behind by the entire Black Friday Management stable as he made his way down the aisle! The Boss Man was pummelled relentlessly by Ludvig Borga, Great Muta, Taz and the Arabian Butchers, who laid in with kicks and punches. Officials came out to gain control of the situation as the show abruptly cut to commercial.
When the show returned from the break, Vince McMahon recapped the events from before the commercials and announced that the Big Boss Man vs Manuel has been postponed until later in the show.
Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca) defeated Mark Thomas and Scott Taylor when Lars pinned M. Thomas with the Kreisel in 0:04:35. Rating: * 3/4 [Alundra interfered against Scott Taylor.] [Alundra interfered against Mark Thomas.]
Backstage, the Big Boss Man was being checked over by medical staff. He was joined by his Strength In Numbers teammates, who were apologetic at allowing Black Friday Management to jump him. Crush admitted that they had taken their eye off the ball, but vowed that from now on they would travel in a pack.
Gene Okerlund presented another Survivor Series report. It featured a special announcement from WWF President Jack Tunney's office regarding the Davey Boy Smith vs Dynamite Kid Career Match at the pay-per-view on Thanksgiving Eve. Tunney was disappointed that the company is destined to lose a great athlete at Survivor Series, but agreed that neither superstar is able to reach their full potential so long as the other is still around. Tunney claimed that there is too much at stake in the match between Smith and Billington to risk any outside interference, so Tunney decreed that the bout will be contested inside a steel cage! The WWF President stated that the match can only end by cage escape only, therefore the man that is left in the cage at Survivor Series must leave the company for good!
Tom Billington pinned Typhoon with the Diving Dynamite Headbutt in 0:08:31. Rating: * 3/4 [Tammy Fytch interfered against Typhoon.]
It appeared that Typhoon would leave with an unlikely win here tonight as Tom Billington failed to get it together against his larger opponent. Tammy Fytch grew more and more frustrated with Billington's performance as Typhoon thwarted Billington with brute strength. Typhoon picked up a couple of near falls off a belly-to-belly suplex and a corner avalanche. Typhoon went for the Tidal Wave but was tripped by Fytch as he bounced off the ropes. Billington quickly capitalised with a dropkick to the knee and then drilled Typhoon with a short DDT. Billington connected with the diving headbutt for the pin, but Fytch was not happy to say the least.
Following a commercial break, Tammy Fytch was shown giving Tom Billington a tongue-lashing for what she branded a mediocre performance. Fytch warned that Billington will have to improve his performance significantly if he still wants a WWF career post-Survivor Series! Billington had heard about all he could take and walked off, leaving his bratty manager to get even angrier!
Skinner pinned Sid Garrison with the Gatorbreaker in 0:05:41. Rating: DUD
Backstage, Shawn Michaels was on another recruitment drive. This time, he was deep in conversation with Jeff Jarrett and Tennessee Lee. The three men all began laughing as a deal appeared to have been struck. Michaels then took exception to the camera getting too close and swatted it away.
Sean Mooney was in the ring waiting to conduct an interview. There was a ladder set up in the centre of the ring and the WWF Tag Team Championship belts were hanging above. The Hollywood Blonds made their way out to a negative reaction. Steve Austin talked trash about the Thrillseekers, before offering to give everybody a preview of what is going to happen at Survivor Series. With that, he and Brian Pillman climbed up either side of the ladder and unhooked the championship belts. Austin and Pillman posed at the top of the ladder with the gold while the crowd booed them out of the building! Suddenly, the Thrillseekers sprinted down to the ring and Chris Jericho and Lance Storm each grabbed a side of the ladder, threatening to tip it over! Austin and Pillman begged desperately to the Thrillseekers, but their pleas fell on deaf ears as Storm and Jericho shoved the ladder over, much to the delight of the crowd! The Hollywood Blonds clotheslined themselves on the top rope and rolled out to the floor! The Thrillseekers recovered the Tag Team Title belts from the mat, ascended the turnbuckles and held the gold aloft triumphantly, while the embarrassed Blonds returned to the locker room to lick their wounds!
With his Survivor Series teammates following him to the squared circle, the Big Boss Man sprinted down the aisle and wasted no time in going after Manuel! The Boss Man was keen for retribution for the attack her suffered earlier in the show.
Big Boss Man pinned Manuel after a powerslam in 0:10:17. Rating: ** 1/2 [Victor, Great Muta and Kimona interfered against Big Boss Man.]
With both Strength In Numbers and Black Friday Management surrounding the ring for this singles encounter, we had a highly combustible situation on our hands. Manuel hit a spinebuster and went for a flying legdrop, but the Big Boss Man rolled out of the way! Boss Man connected with a kick to the head and looked on course for the win. Kimona then took the referee while Great Muta leapt onto the apron and struck Boss Man with a kick to the back of the head! SIN took exception to the interference and became involved in a shoving match with the rest of Black Friday Management at ringside! As the official desperately attempted to diffuse this situation, Victor joined his brother in the ring. Manuel held Boss Man in place for a clothesline from Victor, but at the last second Boss Man escaped Manuel's grip and Victor levelled his brother! Boss Man dumped Victor out of the ring and then struck Manuel with a powerslam for the pinfall!
Big Boss Man was immediately jumped after the match by Ludvig Borga, which brought Crush into the ring. Soon enough, all ten men had filled the ring and were brawling! The show went off the air with the chaotic scene of both groups fighting!
Circuit information: The Big Boss Man vs Manuel match, which was scheduled to open the show, had to be postponed after Black Friday Management jumped the former corrections officer before he made it to the ring. When the bout finally got underway, the Boss Man capitalised on a miscommunication between the Arabian Butchers to draw first blood for SIN ahead of the Survivor Series. The show closed with a wild brawl between the two warring groups which required an army of referees, road agents and other wrestlers to bring to a halt. I fear we can expect similar scenes on next week's show when Marty Jannetty and the Great Muta are scheduled for one-on-one action.
Relations between Tom Billington and his manager Tammy Fytch are strained heading into the Survivor Series. Fytch panned Billington's efforts in his match with Typhoon tonight and was not hesitant in instructing Billington to raise his game significantly when he puts his career on the line against Davey Boy Smith in a steel cage match. Billington is well aware of what is at stake on Thanksgiving Eve and is growing tired of Fytch's constant nagging.
We hope you'll join us this week for Monday Night RAW where we will bring you two must-see tag team bouts! In the first real test for the Supermodels, Rick Martel and Rafael will square off against Afa's New Headshrinkers, Samu and Sionne! Then from there, fresh off his very first win, young PJ Walker teams with his teacher Bob Backlund to battle the man he defeated, Scotty Flamingo, who pairs with Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz! Plus, Man Mountain Rock will make his return as he appears in Friar Ferguson's Sermon! Till then, so long everybody!!

I might be totally clueless, but I think Rafael is Don Callis aka The Jackyl, Cyrus.

Good to see a new card. I miss this circuit when it's not around.
I liked the segment with the Thrillseekers and the Hollywood Blondes. Classic stuff that would help set up the idea of the ladder match.
Interesting to see Billington and Fytch argue. I don't see any way that Billington doesn't go over, but I'm still holding out hope for the British Bulldog.

Monday Night RAW November 7th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
This week's edition of Monday Night RAW began with footage from last week's WWF Championship Match between Big Van Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow. Vader retained his title after Adam Bomb's interference cost Bigelow the match and then The Undertaker made his shocking return to confront the Mastodon at the end of the show. Vince McMahon promised an announcement regarding the WWF Title and the Survivor Series on tonight's show.
Friar Ferguson and The Berzerker defeated Mark Thomas and Scott Taylor when Berzerker pinned S. Taylor with the Piledriver in 0:04:26. Rating: * 3/4
This week's Survivor Series report began with a video recap of the feud between The Undertaker and WWF Champion Big Van Vader. Gene Okerlund then broke the news that The Undertaker has been named number one contender to the WWF Championship and will face Vader for the title at Survivor Series in a Casket Match!
Footage rolled of the closing moments of last week's WWF Championship Match on Monday Night RAW, where Adam Bomb shoved Bam Bam Bigelow off the top rope as the Beast from the East prepared to deliver the diving headbutt to Big Van Vader. Gene Okerlund then interviewed Harvey Wippleman and asked him if he had anything to do with Bomb interjecting himself in Bigelow's title match. Before he could respond, Bam Bam Bigelow arrived on the scene! Bigelow grabbed the petrified Wippleman around the neck and threatened to rearrange his face for costing him the WWF Title! Adam Bomb and The Warlord were quickly on the scene to make the save for their manager, beating Bam Bam to the ground and putting the boots to him! At Wippleman's behest, Bomb and Warlord dragged Bigelow to his knees so Harvey could talk trash to him. Wippleman spat that nobody fires him and said that Bigelow would pay dearly for embarrassing him! Wippleman then slapped Bam Bam across the face, before he, Bomb and Warlord left Bigelow laying on the concrete.
Tatanka pinned Mike Salitto with the End of the Trail in 0:03:22. Rating: * 1/2
During the match, Tatanka cut an insert promo in which he said he would repay the faith Razor Ramon has shown in him by helping their team win at Survivor Series. The Native American also vowed to eliminate his bitter rival Mr. Perfect from the bout.
The Birdman pinned Ron Cumberledge with the One Fell Swoop in 0:03:34. Rating: *
When Monday Night RAW returned from commercial the New Headshrinkers were already in the ring, set to lock up with the Supermodels in one of the feature matches on tonight's show. Rick Martel and Raphael's music the began to play but when the Supermodels emerged from the back, they were not dressed to wrestle. Instead, they were wearing custom made Armani suits. Sean Mooney ran out to get an explanation. Rick Martel said that he and Raphael are two of the best looking men in the world, who dress in the finest clothes and hang out with beautiful people. Martel stated that there was no way on this earth that they would lock up with those two savages in the ring, men who eat raw fish and refuse to wash. Instead, they were going to catch the first flight out of this cesspool and head to a fashion show in New York City. The Supermodels turned and headed backstage, leaving the official no option but to award this "match" to the bewildered Headshrinkers.
Bob Backlund and PJ Walker defeated Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz and Scotty Flamingo when Walker pinned Schwartz with the Underdog in 0:10:17. Rating: ** 3/4
Scotty Flamingo was left humiliated once again as he and his tag team partner Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz came up short against Bob Backlund and PJ Walker. It was the rookie Walker who scored the pin on Schwartz with his swinging bulldog finisher, which has rather fittingly been labelled the "Underdog".
Man Mountain Rock was the guest on the Sermon with Friar Ferguson. Rock made a plea for Razor Ramon to add him to the Bad Guy's Survivor Series team, so he could get a piece of Jeff Jarrett. That brought Ramon down to the ring, who said he could think of nobody better to have on his side for taking care of Double J. Jeff Jarrett and Tennessee Lee then emerged from the back. They laughed at Ramon's decision and said that he had just handicapped his team by having that cripple as a teammate. Rock said that his knee was almost 100% and challenged Jarrett to try and test him out in a singles match next week! Double J was reluctant to take the bout, but after much goading from Ramon and Rock he accepted. The defiant Jarrett vowed to break Rock's leg and take him out of Survivor Series, while Man Mountain Rock retorted that he would show his team captain Razor Ramon that he had made right decision when he destroys Double J next week!
Circuit information: The countdown is on to the Survivor Series! We are just two and a half weeks away from the Thanksgiving Eve spectacular and we learned tonight that WWF Champion Big Van Vader will defend the title on the show against the returning Undertaker in a Casket Match! This announcement will undoubtedly not sit will with Vader and his manager Harley Race, who we are sure to hear from in due course.
With "Double J" Jeff Jarrett joining Shawn Michaels' team at Survivor Series, Man Mountain Rock was desperate to be a part of Razor Ramon's squad so he could get his hands on the country music singer. Well tonight, the Bad Guy granted Rock his wish. But Rock will get the chance to square off with Double J sooner than expected when the two superstars go one-on-one on next week's show!
Bam Bam Bigelow is determined to gain revenge on Harvey Wippleman for preventing him from capturing the WWF Championship last week. However, tonight Bigelow was left laying by Wippleman's henchmen Adam Bomb and the Warlord, who made the save for their puny manager when Bigelow looked set to bash his brains in.
PJ Walker waited so long for his first victory and tonight he notched another at the expense of Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz, leaving Scotty Flamingo with egg on his face once again!
Here's how the card is shaping up for the Survivor Series, which we'll bring to you live on pay-per-view from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, on Thanksgiving Eve!!
WWF Championship Casket Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker
[TEAM RAZOR] Razor Ramon, Tatanka, Lightning Kid, Man Mountain Rock and ??? vs [TEAM HEARTBREAK] Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect, Jeff Jarrett and ???
Career vs Career - Steel Cage Match - Cage Escapes Only Davey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington
WWF Tag Team Championship Ladder Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Thrillseekers
[BLACK FRIDAY MANAGEMENT] Great Muta, Ludvig Borga, Taz and The Arabian Butchers vs [STRENGTH IN NUMBERS] Crush, Randy Savage, Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and Big Boss Man
Make sure you tune in to Superstars this weekend where Marty Jannetty will square off with the Great Muta! Will we see the same chaotic scenes as last week when Strength In Numbers and Black Friday Management battled each other? Also, Repo Man, the Rougeaus and Davey Boy Smith are all set for action! Till then, so long everybody!!

WWF Superstars November 12th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Tonight's edition of Superstars opened with footage from the aftermath of last week's main event, where a pier-six brawl erupted between the groups of Strength In Numbers and Black Friday Management. Vince McMahon feared that we could see a repeat tonight when the Great Muta of Black Friday Management faces Marty Jannetty of SIN!
Davey Boy Smith pinned Warlord with the Running Powerslam in 0:01:07. Rating: *
Davey Boy Smith was jumped by The Warlord as soon as he entered the ring. Warlord hammered away with forearms and whipped Smith hard into the corner. The Warlord charged in, but Smith countered with a boot to the face and then rocked the Warlord with a succession of hard clotheslines! Davey Boy stunned The Warlord with a dropkick, before hoisting his old rival up and planting him with the running powerslam for an impressive victory in just over one minute!
Tammy Fytch then sent the Beverly Brothers down to the ring. Beau and Blake attacked Davey Boy Smith, kicking and punching him to the mat. Fytch slid a chair into the ring, which Beau cracked across Smith's back. Blake turned Smith onto his back and Beau drove the chair twice into Davey Boy's gut! The Beverlys used the chair to threaten any official or road agent who dared come near the ring, while Smith rolled around on the canvas in agony. Tom Billington then made his way out with a confused look on his face. Billington, who seemed to be completely unaware of this pre-meditated attack, angrily confronted Fytch at ringside. Billington demanded to know why Fytch had ordered Beau and Blake out to beat down Smith, while Fytch screamed at Billington that he should be thanking her!
The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) defeated Sonny Rogers and Butch Banks when J. Rougeau pinned B. Banks after the Bombe de Rougeau in 0:06:33. Rating: * 1/4
During the match, The Rougeaus cut an insert promo in which they challenged the winners of the Tag Team Title Ladder Match at Survivor Series.
To the surprise of the announcers, Bad News Brown called in to the show. Brown complained that "the man" is trying to keep him off WWF TV because of his recent comments. Bad News reiterated his thoughts that he can beat any white boy that the man sends out here. Vince McMahon quickly ended the call before Brown could spout any more racist bile.
Repo Man defeated Dan Dubiel when Dan Dubiel passed out in the Crowbar in 0:05:02. Rating: 1/4*
In the parking lot, a garbage truck pulled up with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese riding on the back. The WWF Hardcore Title was strapped to the radiator grille of the truck. The grappling garbage man said he fears no-one and will continue to defend his Hardcore Title against all challengers. Suddenly, Droese was knocked off the truck by a clubbing blow from none other than Taz! Duke slowly dragged himself off the cold concrete, but he was then struck in the head with a vicious trash can shot by The One Man Crime Spree!
Rockabilly pinned Barry Horowitz with the Rockabilly Boogie in 0:04:04. Rating: * 3/4
During the bout, Tennessee Lee Promotions cut an insert promo in which they threatened to destroy Man Mountain Rock once and for all this coming week on Monday Night RAW.
Great Muta and Marty Jannetty battled to a double disqualification in 0:12:23. Rating: *** 1/4 [Gary Hart interfered against Marty Jannetty.]
Both Strength In Numbers and Black Friday Management remained at ringside for the duration of this exciting bout, which led to a potentially volatile situation. Indeed, with both groups surrounding the ring it looked more like a lumberjack match than a straight singles contest. Marty Jannetty climbed to the top rope, but Great Muta dropkicked him off and Jannetty crashed to the floor. Black Friday Management prepared to attack, but they had second thoughts when they were confronted by SIN as the tension between the two groups escalated! Jannetty avoided Muta's moonsault and connected with a superkick. Jannetty then scored with a flying fistdrop, but one of the Arabian Butchers clambered into the ring. Jannetty cut him off with a boot to the gut and then threw the Butcher into his twin brother, who had also climbed onto the ring apron! The blue touch paper had well and truly been lit as the remaining members of each group piled into the squared circle! The referee quickly threw the match out before running for cover!
It was deja vu all over again as the show ended with Vince McMahon's fears being realised - both Black Friday Management and Strength In Numbers going at it tooth and nail!
Circuit information: For the second week in a row, Superstars ended with a ten man brawl raging in the squared circle! The hatred between the groups of Black Friday Management and Strength In Numbers is palpable and is set to come to a head in just eleven days at the Survivor Series!
Davey Boy Smith made short work of his old foe The Warlord here tonight but he wasn't given the chance to enjoy the impressive victory. Davey Boy was bludgeoned with a steel chair by the Beverly Brothers and doctors reports after the show revealed that Smith has suffered badly bruised ribs. However, despite the beating, Davey Boy has vowed to be ready for the biggest match of his career at the Survivor Series.
Bizarrely, Smith's opponent at the Survivor Series, Tom Billington, didn't seem to be clued in on the planned attack. Billington and his manager Tammy Fytch had a heated exchange backstage after the show and he left the arena without the rest of his stable. Just what is going on with Fytch Wrestling Enterprises?!
Taz made a painful statement at the expense of Duke Droese tonight - he wants his Hardcore Championship! The burly garbage man has spent the past month inviting challengers for his title, but he may live to regret his actions when he locks up with the One Man Crime Spree.
Here's how the card is shaping up for the Survivor Series, which we'll bring to you live on pay-per-view from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, on Thanksgiving Eve!!
WWF Championship Casket Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker
[TEAM RAZOR] Razor Ramon, Tatanka, Lightning Kid, Man Mountain Rock and ??? vs [TEAM HEARTBREAK] Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect, Jeff Jarrett and ???

WWF Tag Team Championship Ladder Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Thrillseekers
[BLACK FRIDAY MANAGEMENT] Great Muta, Ludvig Borga, Taz and The Arabian Butchers vs [STRENGTH IN NUMBERS] Crush, Randy Savage, Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and Big Boss Man
Make sure you tune in this week for Monday Night RAW, where we shall bring you a rematch from SummerSlam as Man Mountain Rock battles Jeff Jarrett! Also on the show, Tatanka and Crush will be in action, plus we'll bring you comments from The Undertaker who will speak for the first time following his shocking return!

Surprised Davey Boy went over on the Warlord so quickly, but I'm glad DBS is piling up some wins before his Survivor Series match. I'm also interested in the DBS/Billington feud for the first time. I haven't been a huge fan of their feud, but Billington's disagreements with Fytch have really opened up the possibilities for this feud. Can't wait to see how it continues.
Happy to see you posting so often as of late.

Monday Night RAW November 14th, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.This week's edition of Monday Night RAW began with Vince McMahon hyping the huge rematch from SummerSlam which is the main event of the show, as Man Mountain Rock faces Jeff Jarrett in the latest phase of the battle between rock and country! McMahon also revealed that in order to avoid a repeat of the wild scenes between Black Friday Management and Strength In Numbers over the past couple of weeks on Superstars, WWF President Jack Tunney has barred Rock and Jarrett's respective Survivor Series teammates from ringside! Crush made Terra Ryzing submit to the Cranium Crunch in 0:03:00. Rating: **Crush was flanked by his Strength In Numbers teammates for this contest, which he won easily. After the bout, Black Friday Management emerged from the back. Strength In Numbers met them in the aisle, but the warring factions were quickly separated by a wall of officials and road agents. The show cut to commercial as the officials attempted to diffuse the explosive situation! Gene Okerlund presented this week's Survivor Series report, in which he recapped the current card. Okerlund plugged the WWF Championship Casket Match between champion Big Van Vader and The Undertaker and said that we would hear from the Deadman later on the show. He then revealed that he would interview Vader next week and promised to get to the bottom of whether or not the WWF Champion is actually scared of The Undertaker! Okerlund also announced that a special eight team Survivor Series match has been signed for next week's edition of Monday Night RAW which will serve as a taster for the pay-per-view. This bout will see the Beverly Brothers, the Supermodels, the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers and the Swiss Bobsleigh Team combine to battle The Headshrinkers, Friar Ferguson, The Berzerker, Bob Backlund, PJ Walker and Space Race! And speaking of Max Moon and Bob Holly, they were set for action next. Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon) defeated Barry Hardy and Mike Bell when B. Holly pinned M. Bell after the Apollo 11 in 0:05:08. Rating: ** 1/4Bam Bam Bigelow was the guest on this week's edition of the King's Court. Jerry Lawler goaded Bigelow by endlessly talking about how close Bigelow came to becoming the new WWF Champion, only to have it snatched away from him by Adam Bomb and Harvey Wippleman! Bigelow had soon heard enough and grabbed Lawler by the throat, threatening to do to The King exactly what he wanted to do to Wippleman! Razor Ramon then made his way down to the ring and convinced the Beast from the East not to waste this aggression on a cockroach like Lawler. Ramon said he knew first hand how tough Bigelow is from their battles over the Intercontinental Title one year ago. The Bad Guy said that a guy with the size, strength and power of Bam Bam would round off his unit at Survivor Series perfectly and offered Bigelow the final spot on his team. Bigelow accepted with a handshake as the crowd roared their approval. As Razor Ramon and Bam Bam Bigelow left together they met Tatanka in the aisle, who was scheduled for the next bout. The Native American - who was embroiled in a bitter feud with Bigelow last year - appeared wary of the Beast from the East. However, Tatanka also shook hands with Bam Bam and continued on his way to the squared circle. Tatanka pinned Gary Sabough with the End of the Trail in 0:04:25. Rating: 3/4*In a remote, darkened cemetery, The Undertaker was digging a grave for Big Van Vader. Paul Bearer cryptically warned that at some stage, the bout at Survivor Series will reach deadlock and that will spell the end for Vader! The Undertaker threw his hair back out of his face, revealing his gruesome and intimidating mask. 'Taker said that revenge is what motivates him right now. He vowed to come searching for Vader and that the WWF Championship is coming back to the darkside. Undertaker said that at Survivor Series, Vader will fail to escape the deadlock. He added that Vader will come face to face with the evil he released and that vengeance will be the Deadman's! The camera then zoomed in on a headstone which had Vader's name engraved on it! Backstage, Man Mountain Rock was being fired up by the rest of his Survivor Series team ahead of his match with Jeff Jarrett. Man Mountain Rock pinned Jeff Jarrett after a small package in 0:14:00. Rating: ** 1/2 [Tennessee Lee, Rockabilly and The Roadie interfered against Man Mountain Rock.]Man Mountain Rock was a man possessed here tonight, seemingly impervious to Jeff Jarrett's offence and overpowering him at every turn. Rock assaulted Jarrett with a hiptoss, headbutts, a back elbow and an elbowdrop. However, Rock missed an avalanche in the corner and Jarrett targeted Rock's bad knee. Double J worked the leg, but with the fans firmly in his corner Rock came back with clotheslines and a hard bodyslam. The man from the State of Euphoria signalled for the Whammy Bar but The Roadie grabbed his leg, so Rock dragged Roadie into the ring and laid him out with the Wallapalooza! Tennessee Lee took the ref as Rockabilly sprinted down to the ring. Rockabilly snatched Double J's acoustic guitar and tried to waffle Rock with it, but Rock was ready for him and backdropped Rockabilly over the top rope to the floor! Man Mountain Rock dropped Tennessee Lee with a punch for good measure, but Jarrett had recovered enough to attack Rock from behind. Double J attempted to lock in the figure-four leglock, but Rock caught him in a small package for the three count!! Man Mountain Rock's teammates at Survivor Series - Razor Ramon, Tatanka, the Lightning Kid and Bam Bam Bigelow - had been watching proceedings backstage and were celebrating the victory. However, they were jumped out of nowhere by Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect and Adam Bomb, while Shawn Michaels directed traffic. Meanwhile, back in the ring the official raised Man Mountain Rock's hand, but Rockabilly immediately ambushed Rock. Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie joined in to make it a three on one attack. The trio from Tennessee Lee Promotions dragged Rock over to the corner of the ring, where they drove Rock's knee repeatedly into the ringpost! Rockabilly then took the acoustic guitar and smashed it over Rock's knee, which was being held up against the post by Jarrett and the Roadie! The announcers feared for the long term damage to Man Mountain Rock as Tennessee Lee Promotions skulked to the back. Injury: Rockabilly hit Man Mountain Rock in the knee with a guitar. Man Mountain Rock received a knee injury and will be out for 2 months. Circuit information: Man Mountain Rock was checked over by medical staff after tonight's show and the diagnosis on his injured knee was not good. It appears extremely likely that Rock will be forced to miss the Survivor Series following the assault by Jeff Jarrett and Tennessee Lee Promotions. They were successful in re-injuring Rock's bad knee and Razor Ramon now finds his team at a serious disadvantage with just nine days to go until the pay-per-view. Man Mountain Rock was left isolated throughout the attack as his teammates were being destroyed backstage by Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Mr Perfect and the man who was confirmed after the show as the final member of Michaels' team, Adam Bomb.

WWF Superstars November 19th, 1994 Burlington, VT Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
The show opened with comments from Taz, who challenges Duke "The Dumpster" Droese for the Hardcore Title on tonight's edition of Superstars. Taz warned that he wasn't just going to choke Droese out, he was going to make him bleed and was going to beat him up!
No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Taz made Duke Droese submit to the Tazmission in 0:06:37. Duke Droese suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 2 months. Rating: *** (Taz won the WWF Hardcore Title.)
Taz didn't even wait for Duke Droese to enter the ring, attacking him on the floor and hurling him head first into the guardrail! The garbage man fought back, assaulting Taz with a broom and laying him out with a trash can lid. Duke whipped Taz into the ropes, but The One Man Crime Spree blocked the Trash Compactor and countered with a head and arm Tazplex onto a trash can! Taz hit an overhead belly-to-belly Tazplex from the second turnbuckle and then Gary Hart brought a table into the ring. Taz propped the table in the corner and drove Droese through it with a hardway Tazplex! The match was now essentially over as a contest, but Taz applied that chokehold which is illegal in judo - now branded the "Tazmission" - to the decimated Dumpster and Duke quickly submitted.
After the match, Taz ran Duke Droese face first through the remnants of the table for good measure. The official tried to present the Hardcore Title to the new champion, but Taz snatched the belt off him. Taz had one simple message for all potential challengers to his championship - "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you!"
Backstage, the Big Boss Man had been watching proceedings with disdain.
Gene Okerlund brought out "Dynamite" Tom Billington to the interview podium. Billington addressed last week's attack by the Beverly Brothers on Davey Boy Smith, which resulted in Smith suffering bruised ribs. Billington thought that Tammy Fytch orchestrated the assault because she has no confidence in him getting the job done at Survivor Series. Billington said that he had wanted Smith at 100% for their cage match so he could prove once and for all who the better man is. Billington promised to defeat Davey Boy, injured ribs or not, at Survivor Series and rid the WWF of him for good. Then, Billington added, he would accept an apology from Fytch for ever doubting him.
Bob Backlund made Brooklyn Brawler submit to the Cross-Face Chicken Wing in 0:06:16. Rating: * 1/2
PJ Walker accompanied Bob Backlund to the ring for this contest, as the youngster continues to watch and learn from his mentor. Vince McMahon predicted a big future in the business for PJ Walker and reminded fans that Walker and Backlund will be one of the teams involved in the huge eight team Survivor Series preview match this week on Monday Night RAW.
Ludvig Borga pinned Mike Bell with the Rack and Ruin in 0:02:58. Rating: -1/2* [Kimona interfered against Mike Bell.]
Bad News Brown once again called in to the show, much to the displeasure of Vince McMahon. Bad News complained about not being booked for Survivor Series. McMahon asked Brown who in their right mind would select him to be on their team at Survivor Series with Brown's track record of walking out on teammates at that event? Bad News suggested that the reason no WWF superstar selects him to be on their team is because of the colour of his skin. Brown started a tirade of how the everybody in the locker room is racist, but McMahon had heard enough and cut him off!
Adam Bomb pinned Ben Jordan with the Atom Smasher in 0:01:02. Rating: * 1/4
During the match, Shawn Michaels cut an insert promo in which he officially confirmed Adam Bomb as the final member of his team at Survivor Series. Michaels was joined by Harvey Wippleman, who promised the Heartbreak Kid that at Survivor Series, Adam Bomb would take care of Bam Bam Bigelow.
The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) defeated The Executioners (Executioner #1 and Executioner #2) when L. Storm pinned Executioner #1 after the Sudden Impact in 0:05:54. Rating: ** 1/2
The Thrillseekers claimed another victory heading into the Tag Team Title Ladder Match at Survivor Series, but they were immediately blindsided and laid out by the Hollywood Blonds! Steve Austin struck Lance Storm with the Stun Gun and kicked him out of the ring. The Blonds then drilled Chris Jericho with the Brush with Greatness, before heading to ringside and pulling out a giant ladder from underneath the ring! Storm used the guardrail to help himself back to his feet, but the Blonds then smashed him in the face with the ladder! Returning to the ring, Pillman and Austin set the ladder up in the corner and sent Jericho into it, who flipped and landed painfully on the rungs back-first! The Hollywood Blonds showed their delight with their dirty work while their Survivor Series opponents lay battered and broken!
Circuit information: The Thrillseekers were left pretty banged up following the ambush by the Hollywood Blonds here tonight. There is no way that Chris Jericho and Lance Storm can be at 100% going into Survivor Series with the event less than a week away and you have to wonder how this will affect their performance. The attack by Steve Austin and Brian Pillman gave us an example just how brutal and devastating the Ladder Match could get when the cold steel ladders are used as weapons. This has the potential to be a career shortening match for everybody involved!
Another man suffering tonight is Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. The grappling garbage man was taken apart by Taz tonight and lost his Hardcore Championship to the One Man Crime Spree in the process. Droese injured his neck during the bout and is now set to undergo a procedure to repair a damaged nerve. Droese is expected to miss two months of action.
It was a surprise that Tom Billington was interviewed tonight without his manager Tammy Fytch anywhere to be seen. Billington also shocked a lot of people with his claims that he was unaware of the plan to beat down Davey Boy Smith last week. Billington would rather have a straight-up athletic competition with a healthy Smith at Survivor Series in order to determine who the better man really is and wants Smith to have no excuses should Dynamite come out on top.
Here's how the card is shaping up for the Survivor Series, which we'll bring to you live on pay-per-view from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, on Thanksgiving Eve!!
WWF Championship Casket Match Big Van Vader vs The Undertaker
[TEAM RAZOR] Razor Ramon, Tatanka, Lightning Kid, Man Mountain Rock and Bam Bam Bigelow vs [TEAM HEARTBREAK] Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect, Jeff Jarrett and Adam Bomb
Career vs Career - Steel Cage Match - Cage Escapes Only Davey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington
WWF Tag Team Championship Ladder Match The Hollywood Blonds vs The Thrillseekers
[BLACK FRIDAY MANAGEMENT] Great Muta, Ludvig Borga, Taz and The Arabian Butchers vs [STRENGTH IN NUMBERS] Crush, Randy Savage, Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and Big Boss Man

Also, Team Razor will be on hand to discuss their injured teammate Man Mountain Rock, plus Gene Okerlund interviews WWF Champion Big Van Vader just two days away from his Casket Match with The Undertaker!

Glad to see Taz take the Hardcore Title. He can probably give it a little bit more of an edge than Droese was capable of.
Survivor Series is building up to be a great PPV. It's always been one of my favorite themed PPV's, and you have some fun elimination matches set up.

Monday Night RAW - Survivor Series Showdown November 21st, 1994 Fernwood Resort, Bushkill, PA Your commentators are Vince McMahon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.This week's edition of Monday Night RAW - the last before the Survivor Series pay-per-view - began with comments from some of the teams involved in the huge eight team Survivor Series style bout later in the show. Gene Okerlund interviewed WWF Champion Big Van Vader and Harley Race in the ring ahead of the Mastodon's Casket Match with The Undertaker at Survivor Series. Race stated that Vader was the first man to put Undertaker out of action and in two nights will become the first man to put Undertaker in his own casket! Okerlund said that after the astonishing events of three weeks ago when The Undertaker made his return, there is one question on the lips of every WWF fan around the globe - is Big Van Vader afraid of The Undertaker? Harley Race took exception to Okerlund's line of questioning and snatched the microphone away from him. Race yelled that Vader is a fearless man. He continued that Vader is not afraid of any man walking the face of this earth, least of all the Undertaker. Race backed Okerlund into the corner and informed the announcer that he found his tone insulting. Race warned that when you insult Big Van Vader, you'll regret it for the rest of your life... With that statement, Big Van Vader charged at Gene Okerlund and crushed him with an avalanche against the turnbuckles!! Okerlund crumpled to the mat as a hushed silence washed over the arena. The fans were speechless at Vader's actions, but unfortunately the WWF Champion was not finished. Race dragged Okerlund out of the corner and into position for the Mastodon to deliver a devastating Vader Bomb! Referees and road agents tried to get involved, but Race and Vader threatened them as they attempted to enter the ring! The crowd slowly began chanting for the Undertaker, which only served to incense Vader even more. Angered, Vader then struck the defenceless Okerlund with a second Vader Bomb! The crowd popped as Razor Ramon, Lightning Kid, Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow hit the ring to stop the rampage and Vader and Race took off unscathed. Medical staff were quickly on the scene to tend to Okerlund and Ramon and Tatanka assisted in carefully placing Mean Gene onto a stretcher. Okerlund was wheeled to the back and received a nice ovation from the crowd, while Vince McMahon furiously lambasted Big Van Vader on commentary for his actions. Following the commercial break, Vince McMahon had managed to compose himself and was ready to interview Team Razor, who were still at ringside. The team sent their best wishes to Gene Okerlund, before addressing their absent team mate Man Mountain Rock. Ramon confirmed that Rock had been ruled out of the Survivor Series following the assault by Jeff Jarrett and Tennessee Lee Promotions on last week's show and was convalescing at home. However, The Bad Guy guaranteed that they will have a replacement in two days at the Survivor Series! Ramon refused to be drawn on the identity of the mystery partner and said that everybody - Shawn Michaels included - will have to wait to find out! The Bad Guy noted that the team captained by himself won at last year's event and said that history will repeat itself in two nights. A vignette aired for the Hippest Tag Team in Professional Wrestling, Public Enemy. "Flyboy" Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge are two tough customers from South Philly and will be bringing their unique brand of hardcore tag team wrestling to Federation rings very soon! Before the main event Vince McMahon explained that in this 8-on-8 match which features a variation of tag teams, if a wrestler from a tag team is eliminated then his partner is also eliminated. Elimination Match: The Beverly Brothers (Beau Beverly and Blake Beverly), Swiss Bobsleigh Team (Lars and Luca), The Supermodels (Rick Martel and Raphael) and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Rougeau and Raymond Rougeau) beat The New Headshrinkers (Sionne and Samu), Space Race (Bob Holly and Max Moon), Friar Ferguson, The Berzerker, Bob Backlund and PJ Walker 4 falls to 3: x Lars beat Walker (partner: Bob Backlund) via a jumping front kick in 0:05:46 x B. Holly beat R. Rougeau (partner: Jacques Rougeau) via a flying cross body press in 0:08:37 x Luca beat Ferguson (partner: The Berzerker) via a spinning leg lariat in 0:11:55 x Samu beat Lars (partner: Luca) via disqualification in 0:15:34 x Raphael beat Samu (partner: Sionne) via the Fashion Victim in 0:17:09 x B. Holly beat Raphael (partner: Rick Martel) via countout in 0:18:39 x Beau beat B. Holly (partner: Max Moon) via the Shaker Heights Spike in 0:26:21 Survivors: Beau Beverly, Blake Beverly Rating: ** 1/2 [Tammy Fytch and Alundra interfered against Samu.] [Tammy Fytch interfered against Bob Holly.]Sionne was ready to start this contest by locking up with Rick Martel, but once again the Model refused to lock up with the Headshrinker and tagged out immediately! PJ Walker and Bob Backlund were the first team to hit the showers when Lars from the Swiss Bobsleigh Team pinned the inexperienced Walker with a bicycle kick. The contest was soon evened up though when Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly used a flying cross body to hold Raymond Rougeau down for a three count, eliminating the Rougeau Brothers. Lars tripped Friar Ferguson coming off the ropes and Luca caught the distracted monk with a leg lariat to eliminate Ferguson and the Berzerker. The Headshrinkers and the Swiss Bobsleigh Team then went at it. Samu and Sionne laid out Lars with a double savate kick and Samu went for the pin, but Alundra entered the ring and broke the pin by smashing Samu in the back with a bobsleigh helmet! The Swiss Bobsleigh Team were disqualified for Alundra's interference and she was taught a painful lesson as Afa blasted her with a Samoan drop! While this melee was going on, Raphael went unnoticed in loading up his mask with something and headbutting Samu in the gut! The Supermodels then drilled Samu with the Fashion Victim for the pinfall. The crowd voiced their disapproval as Raphael dumped Samu unceremoniously out of the ring. Martel sprayed the ring with Arrogance to freshen it up following the departure of the Headshrinkers! The team of Space Race were now left alone to battle the Supermodels and The Beverly Brothers. However, The Headshrinkers, furious at the manner of their elimination, returned to the squared circle and chased Martel and Raphael to the back! The Supermodels were subsequently counted out, leaving us with a straight up tag team match pitting Tammy Fytch's Beverly Brothers against Space Race. The exchange between Space Race and the Beverly Brothers was excellent, with Bob Holly and Max Moon dazzling Beau and Blake with quick manoeuvres. The Beverlys took control when Tammy Fytch got involved, distracting Bob Holly so Beau could crotch him on the top rope. Beau and Blake then executed the Shaker Heights Spike on Holly to win the match and thus become sole survivors. Circuit information: Everyone in the company is still shaken following the disturbing events at the beginning of tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW. Gene Okerlund sustained multiple injuries to the neck, chest and back following the attack by WWF Champion Big Van Vader and was taken to a local medical facility for treatment. It was unquestionably the single most audacious act of any performer in the history of the World Wrestling Federation and an incident which demonstrated the uncontrollable savagery of Big Van Vader. This was the first time in the WWF that a wrestler has dared lay their hands on an announcer. But this wasn't just any announcer that was brutally assaulted. This was "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Okerlund has been the voice of the WWF for many years and few men in the promotion are as beloved as him. Vader received rabid hatred for his actions tonight, not only from the fans in attendance but also from the millions watching on at home. They want Vader's blood. But you can't help but wonder - if Vader will do this to the loveable Okerlund, what in God's name is he willing to do to defeat the Undertaker in their Casket Match at Survivor Series?! For what it's worth, Tammy Fytch was going around telling everybody within earshot that following tonight's match, the Beverly Brothers should be named the new number one contenders to the Tag Team Titles. Here's how the card is shaping up for the Survivor Series, which we'll bring to you live on pay-per-view from the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, on Thanksgiving Eve!! WWF Championship Casket MatchBig Van Vader vs The Undertaker The Undertaker has made it his mission this year to win the WWF Championship once again, but on his path to the title he has repeatedly come up against one giant road block - Big Van Vader. Vader controversially eliminated the Deadman from the WWF Title Tournament at the King of the Ring, an event in which the Mastodon emerged triumphant. Vader went on to defend his newly won championship against the Undertaker at SummerSlam, but 'Taker's quest to capture the gold was unsuccessful when the Mastodon was disqualified following Harley Race's interference. The following night on Monday Night RAW, 'Taker and Vader had a fierce brawl in which Vader used a metal wrench to smash The Undertaker's face. The Phenom was sidelined for two months, but returned on Hallowe'en when he burst out of a casket and gave Vader a good look at his new gruesome face mask! When Vader caught a glimpse of the ghoulish Undertaker, he quickly retreated and for the first time in his WWF career we may have seen fear in Vader's eyes. How will Big Van Vader cope when he is forced to compete in The Undertaker's speciality match? The Survivor Series has been an important event for the Deadman over the years - he made his debut and won his first WWF Championship in previous versions of this show. If The Undertaker can dethrone the fearsome Vader at this year's Survivor Series, it will surely go down as his greatest accomplishment. [TEAM RAZOR]Razor Ramon, Lightning Kid, Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow and ??? vs [TEAM HEARTBREAK]Shawn Michaels, Scott Steiner, Mr. Perfect, Adam Bomb and Jeff Jarrett Razor Ramon has been waiting since SummerSlam to get his hands on Shawn Michaels. It was Michaels who cost Ramon the Intercontinental Title against Scott Steiner at that event, and also the subsequent rematch in a steel cage. Ramon has been unsuccessful in hunting down Michaels so far, but seemed to be appeased when WWF President Jack Tunney booked them on opposite sides at Survivor Series and allowed each man to select their teammates. This contest will be interesting as it brings several rivalries together. Tatanka and Mr Perfect have had a heated feud since the middle of the year. Bam Bam Bigelow turned his back on Harvey Wippleman and Adam Bomb in order to pursue the WWF Championship, but Bomb ended up interfering against Bigelow in the resulting title match and the two men have been at odds ever since. Jeff Jarrett has been warring with Man Mountain Rock and on last week's edition of Monday Night RAW Double J and his cronies destroyed Rock's knee. Rock is now sidelined for two months, but tonight Ramon has confirmed that he will have a suitable replacement in place for the Survivor Series. Career vs Career - Steel Cage Match - Cage Escapes OnlyDavey Boy Smith vs Tom Billington Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington were tag team partners for years. They travelled the world together and won titles everywhere they went, until insecurity and jealousy tore them apart. Billington turned on his partner this past summer and hooked up with Tammy Fytch and Fytch Wrestling Enterprises. In the angry clashes between Smith and Billington, the two men ending up almost half killing each other. Both Smith and Billington agreed that the best solution was for one of them to leave the company for ever, which leads to this career vs career match at Survivor Series. Jack Tunney added the steel cage stipulation so that the match can be brought to a decisive conclusion without any outside interference. The stakes could not be higher when Billington and Smith enter the steel cage in two days, where it is guaranteed that it will be one of these superstars' final night with the company. WWF Tag Team Championship Ladder MatchThe Hollywood Blonds vs The Thrillseekers The Hollywood Blonds and the Thrillseekers have clashed several times in the latter part of 1994, with each match-up a closely contested affair. This past October, the two teams met for the Tag Team Titles on Superstars and the battle ended in a controversial double pin. Each team felt that they were the rightful winners and when video replays failed to reveal a conclusive victor, Jack Tunney decided to hold up the belts and have them contested in the company's first ever ladder match! There will be no pinfalls or submissions; instead the participants must use the ladder to climb and retrieve the title belts which will be suspended from the ceiling. Both of these teams are considered to be the team of the 90s and this bout could be the highlight of the entire card. [BLACK FRIDAY MANAGEMENT]Great Muta, Ludvig Borga, Taz and The Arabian Butchers vs [STRENGTH IN NUMBERS]Crush, Randy Savage, Owen Hart, Marty Jannetty and Big Boss Man Gary Hart made his WWF debut the night after WrestleMania and since then he has been methodically putting together his Black Friday Management stable. They have run roughshod through the promotion, firstly targeting Owen Hart, then Crush, and others have since been sucked into the war. Randy Savage came to Crush's aid when the big Hawaiian was brutalised following an arm wrestling contest with Finnish strong man Ludvig Borga. The Big Boss Man has targeted new WWF Hardcore Champion Taz, riled by Taz's One Man Crime Spree moniker. Marty Jannetty was more than ready to help out his friend and former tag team partner Owen Hart, which made him fair game for Gary Hart's men. Black Friday Management's main antagonists have now banded together, christening themselves Strength In Numbers (SIN), and are ready to wage war at Survivor Series.
