9/3/95

• Raw kicks off with Jim Neidhardt and Owen Hart in the ring as Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon made his way down to the ring to try and get a little vengeance on The Anvil for slipping something to Owen last week to assist Owen in pinning Ramon to win the Six man match. Ramon and Neidhardt beat each other up for most the match, Owen tries to assist Neidhardt several times. The Kid chases Owen off, Ramon hits the Razor’s Edge on Neidhardt and gets the three count to win the match. Owen tries to hit Ramon with the IC Title Belt after the match, but Ramon ducks, kicks Owen in the gut and is about to hit the Razor’s Edge, but Owen pushes off and escapes the ring. Ramon is daring Owen to get back in the ring as The Anvil and Owen back up the ramp.


• Jim Ross is in the back and interview “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Ross asks Austin about facing The Ultimate Warrior, Austin says the Warrior should have stayed away because all that’s going to happen is Austin is going to put him back in the hospital here tonight!


• “Stone Cold” Steve Austin barely defeats The Ultimate Warrior when he gets his knees up on the Warrior Splash then drops Warrior with the Stone Cold Stunner. Austin is out of breath and hurting as he limps to the back, but he beat Warrior 1-2-3 in the ring tonight!


• Vince brings in the split screen to take to the WWF Tag Team Champions The Smoking Gunns and The Nasty Boys. Vince says the match has been signed, live on Pay Per View, October 7th, In Your House: Texas Shootout, The Smoking Gunns will put the titles on the line against the Nasty Boys. The Nasty Boys say that they are ready to take the WWF Tag Titles back, Vince asks the Gunns about the manager they claimed they would be signing with, and The Gunns are happy to introduce their new manager…..SUNNY!!!! Sunny says she is going to make sure that The Smoking Gunns stay on top. The Nasty Boys say that Sunny knows allot about being on top, and on the bottom, and on her knees!!!! Sunny has a fit and The Gunns say the Nasty Boys will pay for that, Knobbs tells The Smoking Gunns to bring it on and at In Your House The Smoking Gunns will be doing something that Sunny is quite used to, GOING DOWN!!!!



• Vince apologizes for the comments made by the Nasty Boys.


• Bam Bam Bigelow w/”The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase faces Duke “The Dumpster” Drose next. As the big men brawl in the ring, Vince brings in the split screen to talk to Ahmed Johnson. Next week, Johnson faces the man who took him out of the King of the Ring and perhaps cost him the Intercontinental Championship, Bam Bam Bigelow. Ahmed says he can’t wait to beat Bigelow up. Vince asks if Ahmed will be able to get a fair fight when Bigelow will undoubtedly have the Million Dollar Corporation in his corner, Ahmed says if you are going to get in a gang fight, you better have the biggest and baddest gang with you, the camera pans out to show THE ROAD WARRIORS standing with Ahmed Johnson. Hawk and Animal say they got Ahmed’s back next week!!! Back in the ring Drose got some good shots in including a clothesline off the top rope, but it’s not enough and Bigelow defeats Drose with the Bigelow Driver.



• Vince attempts to interview The British Bulldog in the ring, the Bulldog asks where Bret “The Hitman” Hart is, and says Bret is scared of him because Bret knows Bulldog can beat him. With that the Bulldog challenges Bret to meet him at In Your House: Texas Shootout on October 7, 1995!!! Bulldog isn’t able to say much more as “Big Daddy Cool” comes out and breaks up the festivities. Diesel tells Vince he might want to take and hike and Vince wisely listens. Bulldog tells Diesel to get out of the ring, Diesel mockingly asks how Bulldog’s leg is. Diesel says that Bulldog can throw out all the challenges he wants, and he knows Bret is going to answer Bulldog, but before Bulldog faces anyone else, they have unfinished business!!! Diesel then attacks Bulldog!!! Bulldog and Diesel start brawling, Diesel connects with the big boot and is about to hit the Jack Knife Powerbomb when the Hart Foundation runs out. Diesel fights off the Anvil while Owen and Pillman pull Davey out of the ring. The Hart Foundation is about to attack together when Ramon and The Kid hit the ring. It looks like they are about to go when Bulldog calls the Hart Foundation down and they walk to the back.



• The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeats The Brooklyn Brawler in a total squash. The match isn’t the story though, the story is what happens after the match. As Undertaker is posing in the ring, “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart appears on the stage and introduces his newest signing, THE GIANT!!!! Jimmy then says they want to make an impact and sends The Giant down to the ring to attack The Undertaker!!! Giant heads down to the ring but before he can climb in, officials and referees fill the ring!!!! The suits are doing everything they can to keep The Giant and Taker from fighting, Vince can’t believe the size of the Giant as he and The Undetaker are right in each other’s faces!!!



• Vince reveals that when Raw went off the air two weeks ago, Shawn Michaels felt something was wrong in his knee, he went to world renowned sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Andrews recommended surgery on Shawn’s knee to clean up some damage that will put him out of action for the next several weeks. Shawn was supposed to face Brian Pillman here tonight in a rematch for the European Title, but had to pull out due to injury. Shawn was allowed to pick his replacement and picked his good friend The Kid to take the match!!!




• European Champion Brian Pillman w/Owen Hart wrestles to a 15 minute time limit draw with The Kid who has Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon at his side! Words cannot do this match justice, these two men let it all hang out and broke out everything they had, launching themselves and their opponent all over the ring. The Kid had just hit a sit out facebuster as was making the cover when the bell rang. The Kid thought he had the win as did Ramon, Ramon brought the European Title into the ring and gave it to The Kid, but referee Earl Hebner refuses to raise the Kids arm because it is a draw. Owen has pulled Pillman out of the ring. Pillman is demanding his title belt. The Kid lays it out in the middle of the ring and he and Ramon dare Owen and Pillman to come get it. Owen and Pillman are climbing on the apron, and then into the ring!!! The four men start to brawl as Vince yells we are out of time!!! The show goes off the air as the brawl continues!!!!

9/10/95

• Ahmed Johnson meets Bam Bam Bigelow in our opening match. Bigelow comes to the ring with Yokozuna and Hakushi in tow as well as “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase while Ahmed Johnson had the Road Warriors along for back up. Vince says the HHH isn’t with the Million Dollar Corporation because he is in the back preparing for his match later tonight with Savio Vega. Total brawl from start to finish that ends in a no contest as The Road Warriors, Yokozuna and Hakushi all get involved in the brawl. Referees and officials have to come out to try and break things up.



• Vince sends us to the back to talk to “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel. After seeing footage from last week of the Bulldog-Diesel brawl, Ross asks Diesel about his match with Bulldog later tonight. Diesel sends a shout out to his buddy Shawn Michaels who is sitting at home healing up right now. Diesel says that Bulldog chickened out of their match at Summerslam, but he can’t get out of it tonight!


• In a Non Title Match The Smoking Gunns w/Sunny barely defeat the duo of Bob Holly and Jesse James Armstrong. Sunny joined Vince and Heenan on commentary, Heenan offered Sunny his lap to sit on and Sunny actually took him up on it. Holly and Armstrong had The Gunns on the ropes early, and that is when Vince brought in the Split Screen to talk to The Nasty Boys, who will challenge the Smoking Gunns for the WWF Tag Team Titles at In Your House: Texas Shootout, The Nasty Boys and Sunny insulted each other and The Nasty Boys vow to take the tag titles at In Your House. Back in the ring, The Smoking Gunns are able to pull it together and Billy pins Armstrong after a Sidewinder to get the win.


• Backstage, Jim Ross talks to The Hart Foundation. First Pillman cannot contain himself, he is pissed off about last week's match with the Kid. Pillman says he has been informed that he has to face The Kid again here on Raw in 2 weeks, Pillman says he can’t wait cause next time, The Kid won’t last 15 seconds!!! Owen and Anvil then calm Pillman down as his rant gets so out of hand, most of it has to be bleeped out. Bulldog then talks about his match with Diesel tonight and denies ducking Diesel, he says he isn’t like the WWF Champion Bret Hart who Bulldog claims is ducking him. Bulldog says he is going to show everyone he is world title material when he beats Diesel tonight. Owen finishes the interview questioning Razor Ramon’s manhood! Owen asks if Ramon has any pride? He beat Ramon two weeks ago here on Raw and he challenges Ramon to put the IC Title on the line against him at In Your House: Texas Shootot!!!


• The Million Dollar Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley w/ “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase defeats Savio Vega in back and forth battle when Savio misses a Stinger Splash and staggers into a Pedigree.


• Vince talks in the ring with “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart and his new client The Giant! Jimmy says the Giant walked away from WCW when they couldn’t get him any competition, walked away as their Champion, and threw their title belt in the garbage can. Jimmy says he called the Giant and told him there was only one place to get the competition he wanted and that was here in the WWF!!! When asked why The Giant attempted to attack The Undertaker last week, Jimmy says when you come into a new place, you find the biggest, baddest man there and slap him in the face to show everyone not to mess with you. Vince says that The Undertaker and The Giant have been signed to meet at In Your House: Texas Shootout on October 7th!!! Jimmy says The Giant is going to do what no one has been able to do and that’s take the Undertaker out and make a GIGANTIC statement!



• “Stone Cold” Steve Austin defeats Barry Horowitz with the Stone Cold Stunner, Austin looks to be in a bad mood the entire time he beats Horowitz from pillar to post!



• Jim Ross is backstage with IC Champion Razor Ramon and The Kid! Ramon accepts Owen’s challenge for a match at In Your House. The Kid talks about facing Pillman in two weeks, Ramon says they don’t want to wait too long to face Pillman and Owen, so next week, it’s Ramon and The Kid vs. Pillman and Owen right here on Raw!!! Ramon also says that since they know the Hart Foundation are going to be there, they are coming out to the ring to watch Diesel’s back NEXT!!!


• The British Bulldog does indeed come out to the ring with The Hart Foundation, and so Diesel follows suit with Razor Ramon and The Kid, but before anything can happen, WWF CEO Shane McMahon comes out with Security, he says he isn’t going to allow to happen here what happened at the start of the show and orders security to escort The Hart Foundation, Razor Ramon and The Kid OUT OF THE BUILDING!!!!! Shane says we are going to have a one on one match and a winner here tonight!!!



• The British Bulldog defeats Diesel by pinfall when Diesel has Bulldog in the corner and is beating the hell out of him with forearms and knees, Bulldog grabs a double leg takeover, pins Diesel and puts his feet on the corner for extra leverage!!! Bulldog doesn’t have the chance to celebrate as BRET “THE HITMAN” HART comes through the crowd and attacks Bulldog with a Steel Chair!!! Bulldog escapes the onslaught, and looks like he has seen as ghost as Bret throws the chair at Bulldog!!!! Bret is yelling at Bulldog as the show goes off the air!!!!!

9/17/95

• Raw kicks off hot and heavy as we start with the WWF Champion Bret “The Hitman” Hart in non title action against The Million Dollar Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley accompanied by Ted Dibiase!!! Hunter and Bret put on a clinic, Hunter shows he has what it takes to hang with the top stars and pretty soon he might just be, however, that is not today as Bret is able to catch him on the top rope and bring him down with a Superplex, followed by locking him into the Sharpshooter for the submission victory after almost 15 minutes of action!!!


• As soon as the bell rings and the referee hands Bret the WWF Title belt, The British Bulldog and The Hart Foundation appear in the aisle. Bulldog demands to know if Bret will accept his challenge, Bret asks for a microphone, is given one and accepts the challenge. He says that Bulldog is going to get what he deserved for what he did to Bret at Summerslam. Pillman wants to attack Bret now, but Bulldog refuses saying he wants Bret 100% with no excuses at In Your House!!!



• The Smoking Gunns and Chris Candido w/Sunny defeat The Nasty Boys and Bob Holly when Candido pins Holly with a running Lygerbomb. Holly almost had the win but Sunny jumped up on the apron to distract referee Jimmy Cordaris, allowing Candido the chance to hit Holly with a lowblow to set up the Lygerbomb. The Nasty Boys and The Smoking Gunns brawled into the crowd early in the match and were hitting with each other with everything they could get their hands on, including fans drinks and popcorn!!!!


• Jim Ross is backstage with The Hart Foundation. Bulldog is glad Bret accepted his challenge and will bring the WWF Title to the Hart Foundation at In Your House: Texas Shootout on October 7th!!! Owen says it will be a night of great celebration as he too will bring a title to the Hart Foundation when he beats Razor Ramon for the IC Strap!!! Pillman says The Kid isn’t going to have to worry about watching his friends get embarrassed on October 7th because next week he is going to put Kid out of his misery!! Pillman says that is if The Kid and Ramon get out of tonight’s match in one piece!!!!!



• “Stone Cold” Steve Austin defeats Adam Bomb with the Stone Cold Stunner, at least that’s what happened when the first bell rang. Austin went out of the ring after the match and grabbed a steel chair and started beating on Adam Bomb after the match, referee Tim White ordered him to stop, but Austin refused and kept going, forcing Tim White to reverse the decision and declare Adam Bomb the winner by DQ. Austin didn’t seem to care and just walked off jaw jacking with the fans at ringside.


• Vince McMahon brings out The Undertaker and Paul Bearer to talk to them about Jimmy Hart and The Giant! Paul Bearer says that Jimmy Hart has made a grave mistake!!! Undertaker says the Giant isn’t the first man to come to the WWF and try and make a name for themselves by putting down the Undertaker, and they have all failed. Taker says the graveyard of the WWF is littered with the souls of men who thought they had what it took, only to find that they were lacking, and at In Your House: Texas Shootout, The Giant will join them, and will REST IN PEACE!!!!


• Ahmed Johnson defeats Waylon Mercy with the Pearl River Plunge in a hard hitting match Vince pulls in the split screen with some words from “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase and The Million Dollar Corporation, Dibiase is irate that HHH lost the opening match but says they will address that later, first he talks about The Road Warriors match at In Your House with Hakushi and Yokozuna, Dibiase says that the Road Warriors are yesterdays news and at In Your House they will be sent out to pasture, as for Bigelow’s match with Ahmed Johnson, Bigelow is going to finish what he started months ago. Dibiase says it is only a matter of time before The Million Dollar Corporation conquers the WWF.


• Jim Ross is backstage with IC Champion Razor Ramon and The Kid, in a few moments they will be battling Owen Hart and Brian Pillman. Ramon and The Kid heard all that The Hart Foundation had to say and it was all smoke!!! Ramon says they are going to show the Hart Foundation they aren’t as bad as they think they are in a few minutes, and they are bringing their friends with them, as he says that Diesel and WWF Champion Bret Hart step into the picture. Bret says that if The Hart Foundation want a gang war, THEN THEY GOT ONE!!!!


• Intercontinental Champion Razor Ramon and The Kid w/Diesel and WWF Champion Bret “The Hitman” Hart defeat Owen Hart and European Champion Brian Pillman w/The British Bulldog and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhardt when The Kid pins Pillman with a sit out facebuster!!!! Wild, hairy and crazy war to cap off Raw with the extras at ringside getting into the action as well. Tons of nearfalls, and hot tags, false finishes, everything you would expect here. Pillman has a huge tantrum after the match as The Kid celebrated.

9/24/95

• Raw kicks off with a RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!! The Legion of Doom battles The Godwinns!!! A brawl if there ever was one, both teams beat the snot out of each other throughout the match. Vince brings in the quick split screen to talk to the “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase, next week Bam Bam Bigelow, Hakushi and Yokozuna will team in 6 man action against the Road Warriors and Ahmed Johnson here on Raw, just days before they meet in their respective matches at In Your House: Texas Shootout!!! Dibiase says that the Million Dollar Corporation has had to deal with too many distractions as of late and at In Your House: Texas Shoot Out they will deal with those distractions. Next week, they’ll get a head start here on Raw!!!!! Back in the ring, The Road Warriors defeat the Godwinns after hitting Phineas with the Doomsday Device. Henry is up and shoving both Road Warriors after the match and Vince thinks we may see these two teams mix it up again in the future.



• Jim Ross is backstage with the Hart Foundation, and boy are they out of sorts!!! Ross show a clip of last week and The Kid pinning Brian Pillman to win tag match last week, this week, The Kid and Pillman meet one on one for the European Title. Ross says last time they met here on Raw, the match went to a 15 minute time limit draw, 5 more minutes have been added to tonight’s match. Pillman says they can add an hour to the match, it won’t matter, he is going to teach that punk a lesson, Pillman is about to launch into a Pillman tirade when Owen stops him. Owen says The Kid won’t win the European Title tonight, and then tells Razor Ramon to shine the Intercontinental Title up, don’t get any of that oil from his hair on it, because in two weeks at In Your House: Texas Shootout, he is taking the title away. Bulldog talks about beating Diesel two weeks ago, which Ross says that is under dubious circumstances, Bulldog says none of that matters, all that matters is he got his hand raised in the end, just like he’ll get his hand raised in two weeks when he faces Bret for the WWF Title at In Your House. Bulldog then asks if it is true that Bret will be talking to Vince later tonight, Ross says it is and Bulldog says he will interested to see what Bret has to say, and he may have to get a front row seat for it.



• Chris Candido w/Sunny and The Smoking Gunns defeat Bob Holly is a high flying back and forth battle after Candido hits Holly with the Lygerbomb! The Smoking Gunns and Sunny join the commentary team, The Gunns and Sunny make fun of the Nasty Boys, they keep bashing them and don’t notice The Nasty Boys come through the crowd!!! As soon as the match ends, The Nasty Boys jump the railing and attack the Smoking Gunns at ringside!!! The Nasty Boys get the upper hand at first but Chris Candido turns the tide with a chair shot on Saggs, then one on Knobbs!! The Gunns take the Nasty Boys apart before they help Candido powerbomb Saggs through the Spanish Announce table!!!!! The Gunns, Candido and Sunny celebrate in the carnage!!



• Jim Ross calls what just happened a tragedy! Ross says he is sure the Nasty Boys are going to answer that attack at In Your House in two weeks. Speaking of In Your House, another big match on that card will see the Undertaker take on the man who is with Ross, The Giant!!! Ross asks the Giant’s manager “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart why they were out watching the Undertaker last week. Jimmy says they were doing a little scouting baby, and playing some mind games with the so called master of the mind games as well. Jimmy says the era of the Undertaker in professional wrestling is ending, and the era of The Giant has begun!!! Jimmy says that people will get a preview, next week here on Raw when The Giant makes his in ring debut here in the WWF!!!!



• Back at ringside, they have cleaned things up, “Dangerous” Devon Storm is waiting in the ring when THE GLASS BREAKS!!! Out comes “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, he doesn’t even wait for the bell to ring and simply attacks Storm as soon as he climbs through the ropes!!! Storm tries to put up a fight, but Austin beats him all over the ring before putting him away with the Stone Cold Stunner, only Austin doesn’t pin Storm and simply tosses him in the corner and stomps a mudhole in him!!! Austin hits a second Stunner, but still refuses to pin Storm, pounding on him on the mat. Referee Tim White then calls for the bell and DQs Austin!!! Austin chases after White who quickly runs out of the ring. Austin then LAUNCHES Storm over the top rope and out of the ring. Vince says Austin has lost it!!!!




• Vince interviews WWF Champion Bret “The Hitman” Hart in the ring, and asks Bret the question everyone wants to know, why was Bret gone for 2 weeks after Summerslam? Before Bret can answer, The British Bulldog’s music hits and he walks out with the Hart Foundation, they all have chairs which they set up in the aisle, and then have a seat?!! Vince says it seems Bret has another audience. Bret answers the question while never taking his eyes off the Hart Foundation. Bret says he was beat up from the Iron Man Match and from all the matches that came before and was shocked by the Bulldog’s betrayal. Bret says he almost expected it from Owen, Owen never was content and was always looking to prove himself, but Bulldog, he thought Bulldog was the closest to him in the family. Bret says all Bulldog had to do if he wanted a shot at the title was ask, Bulldog mouths YEAH RIGHT as Bret is talking. But instead Bulldog decided to attack Bret, and Bret says it ripped his heart out. Bret says that is where Bulldog made a mistake, because now Bret just doesn’t care what he does to The Bulldog, he isn’t going to hold back, he isn’t going to play nice, it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy. Bret says that The Hitman is back, and he is going to put the Hit on Bulldog at In Your House: Texas Shootout. Bulldog and Owen laugh at Bret saying he isn’t going to be a nice guy anymore. Bret says they can yuck it up, they can laugh all they want, but the laughing will be over at In Your House.

• European Champion Brian Pillman battles The Kid to a 20 minute time limit draw!!! It was a straight one on one match as everyone was banned from ringside, Vince thanked the USA Network as the match took Raw into a 15 minute overrun!!! Pillman and The Kid pulled out all the stops, throwing caution to the wind, and both men crashed and burned several times, the match ended with both men on their knees trading chops. The two men collapsed on the mat as Raw went off the air!!!
