WWF Monday Night Raw, coming to you "live" 29.11.93 from the Westchester
County Center in White Plains, New York.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan.  Heenan puts down
Gorilla Monsoon and Vince hypes tonight's matches.

The Steiners v. Mike Khoury & Reno Riggins - The High Roller has a new robe,
just in case you cared.  Vince fails to feed Heenan straight lines, but does
mention that the WWF Women's World Championship title tournament has started
tonight in Memphis (USWA?) and will continue for three weeks.
Frankensteiner (by Scott) on Khoury for the pin.

Ad for Survivor Series encore...no wonder they haven't said anything about
it yet.

Jeff Jarrett.  Yawn.

Diesel v. rRazor rRamon in a non-title match - Ad break before the Champ
enters.  Hey, let's get those promos out of the way too.

Promos:  ICOPRO (Luger),  "New" WWF Figures, Electronic Talking Battleship
("Yeah!")

Heenan mentions that this weekend on Superstars, Shawn Michaels is the guest
on Reo's Roundup.  Guess we're not rid of him yet.  Lockup, Diesel pushes
Ramon to the ground.  Dueling wristlocks and Ramon loses.  Headlock by
Diesel.  Ramon out with forarms, but Dieseld shoulderblocks him to the
ground.  Razor with a hold, but Diesel gets the upperhand as the "Razor"
chant starts up.  Diesel sits on Ramon, who seems to be wrapped up in the
ropes.  Diesel drops the elbow for 2.  He hits a backbreaker for 2.  He
executes a sidewalk slam for 2.  Since he can't pin him, Diesel goes to the
bearhug.  Ramon headbutts out, but runs into a big boot.  Diesel gets
ANOTHER 2 count, then goes back to that bearhug.  Lots of talk about
injuring Ramon's lower back...oh, that's *strategy* everyone.  The arm falls
but twice.  Ramon with a Stooge eyepoke.  Diesel runs into a boot.  Ramon
with reverse bulldog for 2.  Series of punches, bodyslam by the Champ.  As
Ramon gets set for that Razor's Edge, who should come out but Michaels, who
jumps Ramon.  He grabs Ramon's belt from the Fink and prepares to piledrive
the Champ on top of it.  Who should make the save, but the 1-2-3 Kid.  So
anyway, Ramon wins by DQ.

Bam Bam Bigelow v. John Crystal - Amazingly, Luna Tunes is in this building
and not in Memphis, at that tournament...guess she gets a bye, 'cause she's
acutally IN the WWF.  The commentators jaw about the Doinks.  Heenan
continues to jaw about Monsoon...oh no, I've figured it out again.  See the
end of this report for all of this to make sense.  So anyway, Bigelow wins.
Like you expected a man named "Crystal" to win.

Let us take you back to last weekend's "Challenge," as Ray Rougeau
interviews Doink and Santa Claus.  Santa presents Doink with a midget.  The
Doinkito is names Dink, because WWF President Jack "Solomon" Tunney hath
decreed that there will only be one Doink from now on.  Does anyone notice
that by pairing him with a midget, no one will notice that suddenly the
Clown is a LOT shorter?  Well, at least, we won't see Tiger Jackson
gallavanting around dressed up like the Macho Man.  Or Hulk Hogan.  Or Tiger
Jackson, for that matter.  One can only smile as they look forward to the
impending Dink/Li'l Louie matchups.

Presentation of the WWF Superstar of the Year Award - Vince stands alone in
the ring with the trophy.  He announces that two individuals were so close
in the balloting that the runner-up will come out too.  Out comes the
Narcissist.  He has no sour grapes , though, and introduces the winner:
Bret Hart.  Geez, that's probably the same trophy Fred Blassie gave him two
years ago on PrimeTime.  Heenan is shocked to learn that he did not win, and
suspects that the ballot box was stuffed.  Bret thanks the fans and says
he'll do whatever he can to win back the WWF Title.  He dedicates the trophy
to his fans, his friend, his family...cue Owen?  Nope, we go to commercial.

Let us take you back to the Survivor Series (!) and see some 'highlights' of
the family feud (McMahon, Heenan, Ray Combs commentary - Combs is a TREAT,
btw) Owen is eliminated, Michaels gets pinned to end the match, Owen comes
out, shouts, shoves, Stu, Helen, Keef and Bruce generall mug.

SS encore ad, again.

Owen 'Coincidence' Hart v. Chris Duffy - Owen comes out in Hitman tights and
Hitman glasses, which he doles out in Hitman fashion.  Vince tells us that
Michaels has challenged the Kid 'next week.'    And, the Rocket will be on
Radio WWF this Saturday.  Owen finishes with a Hitman-like
Sharpshooter...hmm...Heenan gets up to talk to Owen.  He asks questions, and
Hart stands mute.  Finally, he just walks off.  I guess they're going to
draw this one out.

The WWF:  Unbelievable!  Yeah, I'd rather watch RAW than have sex, yeah,
yeah, sure.

Ludvig B0rga v. Scott Taylor - Human Torture Rack.

The commentators interview the Kid and Ramon from the locker room.  Ramon
gives a vote of confidence for the Kid, and the Kid accepts Michaels'
challenge for 'next week.'

Promos:  GI Joe, Electronic Hot Shot Basketball, WWF Royal Rumble carts
(It's Perfect!)

Next week:  Doink (Dink?  Oh, I HOPE), Crush, Kid/Michaels

We close with Heenan putting Monsoon down, AGAIN.  Well, I'm sad to say I've
figured this out.  I figure Heenan is going to put Monsoon down right up
until his contract runs out...see if you can figure out the rest.  <sigh>
How many days does Heenan have left?  Tick, tick, tick...

There's no H in Dink
