Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 13, 1995

This morning, WWF Interim President Gorilla Monsoon declares Razor Ramon vs. Sycho Sid with special guest referee The 1-2-3 Kid to be a non-title match after some unfortunate confrontations between Razor and The Kid led him to question the impartiality of THe Kid as special guest referee.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Henry Godwinn - the later now known as Henry O. Godwinn - ends in a rather ingenious way: Godwinn dumps the bucket of slop all over himself, causing Helmsley to retreat due to the smell, only to slip and fall twice on the puddle of slop outside of the ring. The referee almost slips and falls once before Godwinn chases Helmsley to the back.

We see a video package of "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

Vince McMahon conducts a special interview with both Diesel and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart via satellite. Diesel has respect for Hart, but he's confident of his abilities and knows he has to defend the WWF Championship. Hart, on the other hand, still can't sit well with how he lost the WWF Championship last time, as well as the fact that neither of them have beaten each other yet and the fact that he never got a rematch for the title. Hart says he also has the utmost respect for Diesel and thinks he's a great wrestler, especially given the fact that he has held the WWF Championship for over a year, buy says that faster guys with technical wrestling skills give Diesel more of a run for his money compared to other big men his size, and thinks that he's picking bigger guys on purpose so guys like him can't get title shot. Diesel says Hart was the first person he challenged, and says that if he wanted to duck a technical guy, Hart would be the last he would duck. Diesel says he'll survive Survivor Series by playing to his strengths and knocking Hart out. Hart is concerned with what a bigger man can do to him, but Hart is still up for the challenge even though Diesel has him well scouted, and plans to outlast Diesel for the title. Diesel says that he's bigger, better and smarter than he was in January. Hart says that dreams still push him to drive for the WWF Championship.
