Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 29, 1996

It is revealed at the beginning of the show that the reason The British Bulldog wanted to confront "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels last night was because of rumors that Michaels slept with his wife, Diana Hart Smith. When Michaels won his match last night, The British Bulldog headed down the aisles after In Your House went off the air.

Mankind beats Bart Gunn with the two fingers to the esophagus. We find out that the music that plays when Mankind wins has a calming effect on him.

Jim Ross interviews Bart Gunn, who says that Mankind's submission move was so devastating he couldn't move. As he speaks, Mankind shows up and sticks his fingers down Bart Gunn's esophagus again.

Savio Vega guests on commentary for the next match, and shows up with a leather strap, and immediately challenges "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to a Carribean Strap Match at the next In Your House.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Scott Taylor with the Million Dollar Dream. During the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler almost gets whipped by Savio Vega. After the match, Savio Vega challenges Steve Austin to the Carribean Strap Match. Austin and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase reject the challenge. DiBiase leaves the ring, but Austin does not, and Vega smacks Austin from ebhind with the leather strap.

Vince McMahon interviews The British Bulldog and his wife Diana Hart Smith in the ring. He then introduces "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Michaels says that one month ago, nobody thought his wrestling style would last sixty minutes against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, but he adapated to Hart's style, danced for 63 minutes, and came out on top. Last night, nobody thought his wrestling style would hold up against Diesel, but he held his own and gave Diesel an ass-whipping of his own. Michaels then says he can adapt to any style and that he is ready for the best the WWF has to offer. Jim Cornette confronts The Heartbreak Kid for sleeping with Diana Hart Smith. It is shown through last night's footage that a production assistant asked Diana to come with him to the back, as Jim Cornette was in trouble. She goes to the back. Cornette was not waiting there, but Michaels supposedly was. Cornette says that Michaels put his arm around her, took her to a dark corner and propositioned her. Cornette wants to know what kind of person what do this, and calls Michaels a sleazebag (among other things). Cornette then forces Michaels to face Diana, and accuses Michaels of being a fornicator. Diana tells Michaels he knows he wants her, but Michaels tells her with all due respect not to flatter herself. Diana slaps Michaels in the face, then Michaels says "I guess we all know who wears the pants in the Smith family." Bulldog then attacks Michaels, starting a brawl before the break.

During the break, officials broke up the brawl between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and The British Bulldog.

Next week on Raw: "Wildman" Marc Mero vs. The 1-2-3 Kid! The Undertaker vs Owen Hart! Goldust!

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) come to the ring with their own pet pigs before the next match as it is announced that the winner of the match will get a title shot against The Bodydonnas (Zip and Skip).

We hear from Sunny, who says she needs to get "a little closer look" to see which team she prefers to have The Bodydonnas' (Zip and Skip) tag team title match against.

Yhe Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) fight to a double count-out when both legal men are out of the ring and Hillbilly Jim chases after Sunny for trying to get Phineas' attention.

Jim Ross interviews Mankind in a backstage stairwell. He asks Mankind about his submission holds. Mankind says there are over 740 pressure points in the human body, and "during the course of an isolated adolescence, [he] explored them all and searched for the weapon from which there would be no escape." He says "It was a wonderful nerve, underneath the eye socket, but underneath the tongue where the flesh is weak and the nerves run deep, when enough force is exhibited, there is no escape. Temporary paralysis overcomes the body and the only hope for Mankind's love for humanity" - and he assures he is thine. He is surprised not only of the fact that he was able to beat Undertaker with the hold, and tells 'Taker to show some courage of he will destroy him whenever and wherever he chooses, as he is tired of 'Taker's weakness.

The Ultimate Warrior beats Isaac Yankem D.D.S.

It is announced that as per WWF President Gorilla Monsoon that there will be a rematch between The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Garrett) on this week's Superstars.
