Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 18, 1996

It is revealed that last weekend at Madison Square Garden, Diesel lost his cool when he faced The Undertaker and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and hit both 'Taker and Hart - and his tag team partner, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels - with a steel chair.

The British Bulldog beats Jake "The Snake" Roberts by count-out when Jim Cornette grabs Roberts by the leg and pulls him out of a pinfall attempt only for Roberts to chase after Cornette with Revelations.

We see footage of both "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart training.

Goldust beats Fatu. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews Acting WWF President "Rowdy" Roddy Piper via telephone, who tells Goldust that he's the last person he'd want to meet on the street.

We look back at The Ultimate Warrior's victory against "Macho Man" Randy Savage at WrestleMania 7.

Vince McMahon interviews Camp Cornette (Jim Cornette, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Vader). Cornette tells Yokozuna, Ahmed Johnson and Jake "The Snake" Roberts that if they want a six-man tag match at WrestleMania, they've got it, but they'll need five more men on their side if they hope to stand a chance against Camp Cornette. Owen Hart tells Roberts that he'll choke the life out of him, tells Yokozuna that he carried him to WrestleMania and Ahmed Johnson that he has no brains to go along with his brawn. The British Bulldog tells Ahmed Johnson that The Bulldog is the WWF's strongest athlete, not Johnson. Cornette calls Yokozuna "a blithering idiot" and that he took him to the top, but he kept listening to Mr. Fuji. He also says that Vader is twice the man and twice the champion he ever will be. We then hear from Yokozuna, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Ahmed Johnson on the video wall, who tell Cornette to read the fine print next time because if Camp Cornette loses, Yokozuna gets five minutes in the ring with Cornette...and those five minutes are not going to be pretty.

We see footage of Diesel hitting "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the back with a steel chair at last weekend's show in Madison Square Garden. Shawn Michaels is then seen and heard saying "I'm gonna kick his seven foot ass."

On The Ross Report on Option 6 of the WWF Superstar Line: Why didn't Bret "The Hit Man" Hart come to the aid of "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels yesterday at Madison Square Garden? Also, an injury update!

During Diesel vs. Barry Horowitz, Paul Bearer shows up with a casket, which he pushes to the side of the ring.

Diesel beats Barry Horowitz. After the match, Diesel grabs a wrench from the timekeeper's area and opens the casket only to find a dead body that looks just like him. Diesel is spooked.

We get a look at "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, The 1-2-3 Kid and Tatanka in the locker room...and not much else.

Diesel is seen looking for The Undertaker at the other end of the aisle.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels battles Leif Cassidy and Ahmed Johnson faces Owen Hart next week on Raw.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Tatanka when "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and The 1-2-3 Kid's interference attempt backfires.

We see the "Federal Turner Commission Hearing," which is eerily similar to Col. Jessep's memorable speech from A Few Good Men. WWF then asks people to write letters to Federal Trade Commission Chairman Mr. Robert Pitofsky, asking him not to approve the merger of Turner Broadcasting and Time-Warner as it would bring 50% of cable outlets into Ted Turner's control.
