Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 6, 1996

Tonight's Raw is dedicated to the late Ray Stevens.

Another ex-wife of a former professional wrestler (whose identity is concealed) comes forward saying that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels has ruined her marriage and her life.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley guests on commentary for the next match.

Despite Hunter Hearst Helmsley knocking him off the top rope to help out The 1-2-3 Kid, Marc Mero beats The 1-2-3 Kid after reversing a top rope superplex into a cross body.

We hear from an ex-wife of a former professional wrestler (whose identity is concealed), who says that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels has ruined her marriage and her life. Her husband was on the road when Shawn called, wanting to discuss a problem that he had with her husband. Instead, the discussion was soon about her and him, and she eventually fell for him and ended up in bed with him. As a result, her husband lost his match against Shawn, and Shawn never called her again. She says Shawn got what he wanted and threw her out like an old shoe. Now that Shawn is allegedly doing this to someone else, she cannot let this happen.

The British Bulldog - now with Diana Hart Smith joining him at ringside along with Jim Cornette - beats Fatu. During the match, two men in black suits and sunglasses, rumored to be members of Fatu's family, watch the match from the aisle. After the match, Fatu and the two men have a verbal confrontation in which Fatu tells them that the WWF fans are his family, not then. Fatu then walks off.

Next week on Raw: "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley! Duke "The Dumpster" Droese vs. Vader! A special interview with The Undertaker.

The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) aren't nervous about their upcoming tag team title match against The Bodydonnas (Zip and Skip).

The Bodydonnas (Zip and Skip) beat Tekno Team 2000 (Travis and Troy) in the latter's first televised match in month. During the match, Harvey Wippleman takes note of the officiating of the match for a report for WWF President Gorilla Monsoon.

Jim Ross interviews Jim Cornette and Vader. Cornette says that Yokozuna is a 650 lb. man with one bad wheel, and he'll never be 100% against Vader, who has the quickness Yokozuna doesn't have and the heart that Yokozuna lacks. As for next week, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese won't last against Vader.

Goldust and Marlena guest on commentary for the next match, and Goldust wears a golden headset for the occasion.

It is announced that Goldust will take on The Undertaker next week in a Casket Match. Goldust and Marlena, upset with the new stipulation, try to leave, but return to commentary when The Undertaker makes his entrance. Goldust is very noticeably shaken.

The Undertaker beats Owen Hart. During the match, Goldust gets up and plays mind games with Paul Bearer by unbuttoning his shirt and loosening his tie, causing Paul Bearer to run to the back. Goldust also grabs Owen Hart's butt before The Undertaker pulls him back in the ring for the Tombstone Piledriver. After the match, Goldust approaches the ring, but Paul Bearer comes back with a gold-plated casket. Goldust heads to the back with Marlena, but when he runs back-first into the gold-plated casket, he and Marlena run for the hills.
