The New WWF Generation: Don't schedule any surgery during Monday Night RAW. WWF Monday Night RAW, coming to you from the Beeghly Center at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, OH 8.8.94 (but taped 1.8) and broadcast on the USA Network. Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Randy Savage. The Undertaker v. Butch Banks - Vince all but gives the entire angle away, if you're paying attention. However he does promise that "you'll only see [Undertaker vs. Undertaker] one time..." There's a lot to talk about what with all the preliminaries. Ted DiBiase has just rocked the WWF since he came back, you know. This can't be the real Undertaker, 'cause he doesn't use the tombstone piledriver! The finisher, in case you were wondering, is a simple throat slam. Leslie Nielsen spans the globe. You know, "Police Squad" was a hell of a lot funnier. Remember when he met that informant in the Japanese gardens? Hahahahahaha.... The WWF Sunday Night Slam, which you might have thought was the SummerSlam Spectacular, will take place on 21 August. The ad features Typhoon and Lex Luger (huh?) Let us take you back to last weekend's Luger visit to the Heartbreak Hotel, where Luger denies having any association with Ted DiBiase. Shawn Michaels grills him, and Luger admits to meeting with DiBiase, hearing a lucrative offer, but you know he hasn't sold out... Lex Luger v. Chad Miller- Just to confuse you, Ted DiBiase comes out and makes some hand motions, waves some cash, then leaves. Promos: ICOPRO (Ramon), GI Joe, Super Street Fighter 2 "USA...USA" The camera's caught up with DiBiase, who gives another vague interview. Vince won't shut up, but stops short of saying he's turned (although he does say "I'm not saying it's gonna happen" which always lends credence to the opposite). Oh yeah, there's a match in here too. Luger wins with the forearm shiver (would a good guy use that elbow?). Todd Pettengill with *your* SSR, delivered to you by Domino's Pizza. The entire card has been announced! That huge main event, of course consists of Undertaker/Undertaker and Hart/Hart in a steel cage. In an intercontinental title match, Diesel takes on Razor Ramon. Let us take you back one week, where Diesel interferes in Ramon's matchup with Shawn Michaels, resulting in Michaels winning by pinfall. Ramon seems to have figured out that he needs someone to watch his back. And he got....yes, Walter Payton. Lex Luger takes on Tatanka in a Land of Confusion match. The last three matches are: Alundra Blayze vs. Bull Nakano in a Women's Title match, Mabel vs. Jeff Jarrett, and in a Tag Team Title match, the Head Shrinkers take on Bam Bam Bigelow & Irwin R. Schyster. Speaking of which... Bam Bam Bigelow & Irwin R. Schyster v. Doink & Tatanka - Irwin tells the crowd that Money, Incorporated is alive and well, and the Corporation is still growing... let's take an ad break. As is often the case, the heels come out united, but the faces egos can only be gratified when they enter separately. Tatanka's got the war paint on! Irwin and Tatanka start. Lockup, Irwin takes charge and quickly gets a 2 count. Tatanka pback up, but Irwin with a whkip into the corner. He misses a charge and Tatanka chops for a while. Whip hard into the turnbuckle. Tatanka grabs IRS by the tie and whips him over. 2 count. Arm bar by Tatanka. Tag to Doink. Resume arm bar. Whip, dueling hip tosses, Irwin wins. Kick out by Doink, some more seesaw action, and in comes Bigelow. Drop toe hold by Doink. To the ropes, and Doink catches Bigelow, then is smart enough to duck the ghetto blaster. Doink puts on a Paynekiller (says Joe) but Bigelow holds fast. Tag to Tatanka who comes in with a chop to the arm. Dropped leg on the arm. Arm bar. Bigelow finally gets out, whips and shoulderblocks Tatanka. Bigelow with a missed clothesline. Tatanka with a high cross body for 2. Tatanka with a clothesline, and another. Bigelow is down to one knee. Tatanka goes for another, IRS pulls the rope, Tatanka doesn't notice and hits the clothesline for 2. Bigelow throws Tatanka out (that's where he was supposed to go anyway) and we take an ad break. When we come back, Tatanka has come back. IRS punches Doink, bringing him in, distracting the ref and bringing in Bigelow to cheat. When all is said and done, IRS has Tatanka in a chinlock...but his leg is quivering... Elbow out, but Bigelow is tagged in. Whip, shoulderblock by Bigelow. Both men attempt a flying body press and they collide. Who will tag first? Bigelow tags, and Tatanka tags. Doink is a house o' fire! Down goes IRS! Big powerslam! 1, 2, nope, Bigelow saves him. Tatanka comes in and distracts the ref. Bigelow gives a huge kick from behind and Doink is out. One Writeoff later, the heels have a cheap win over the clown. Doink is quickly disposed of, making room for the angle. After doing some general pounding on Tatanka, who should come out but Lex Luger. The ring is cleared, but before Tatanka can wake up and thank him, Ted DiBiase walks into the ring and forces a stack of bills into Luger's hand. Meanwhile, Bigelow makes a move for Tatanka, who backs into Luger. He turns around, and sees Luger with a stack of bills...can you see where this is going? To make it look even more incriminating, Bigelow places himself in such a way to suggest that he is holding Luger back. Let's welcome in that semi full of WWF officials. Hype for next week's big match: The 1-2-3 Kid vs. Owen Hart II. The King's Court with the King of Harts, who comes out with (shock!) Jim Neidhart. He does some ranting and raving like you'd expect. Clips of the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring chronicle Owen's rise to the top. Owen announces that the Hart family has jumped on that Owen bandwagon. The King is slightly skeptical about one particular Hart, though, and brings out Bruce Hart. TWELVE children in the Hart family, ok? Out comes Bruce, his big quote is "That's a bunch of CRAP!" Hell, he's a better interview than Owen! Jim starts to say something, but Bruce interrupts him too. That Bruce, man, he's come a long way from "not even being a real Hart" two years ago (after siding with the British Bulldog at SummerSlam '92). Promos: Spiderman Maximum Carnage, Zenith Audio, Mortal Kombat II As we go to commerical, we get that picture of Bob Backlund staring at his hands. Joe suggests his new nickname could be Bob "I've-got- ten-fingers!" Backlund. The Old, The New. The New WWF Generation! Bob Backlund v. Kevin Krueger - "There's a new generaation in the WWF, and this man is not part of it!" Bob seems to have some scorn for the fans who aren't too happy with him. Bob offers the hand but Krueger won't shake it. Backlund seems a little more animated with his Opie shuffle this week...anyway, this is a pretty boring match (no change), with the addition of a "We want Bret" chant which *Krueger* leads, like it would mean anything to him. Backlund climbs the ropes, faces the crowd and does a big "NOOOOOOOO!" Krueger fails to jump him from behind. Finally, Backlund has had it with this crowd. He puts the chickenwing on Krueger and it's over. Of course, he doesn't hear the bell, and when he *does* break the hold, he looks at his hands again. Joe does an imitation of Backlund counting his fingers...ok, it's funny. Next week: Kid/Hart, the King's Court with Ted DiBiase and Paul Bearer. Our cameras have caught up with Luger, who is making his way into DiBiase's dressing room. Nikolai Volkoff gives him the buddy treatment, but Luger is angry. He wants to speak to DiBiase now. Of course, Tatanka just happens to barge in and see Luger with Volkoff. As he cries "Turncoat!" we fade out.
