Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 11, 1996

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin says all Vince McMahon does is apologize...something he won't do as he turns the heat higher and higher. He knows Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is in the building, after he's through with Bob "Spark Plug" Holly, he'll put Bret in the Sharpshooter as they don't have to wait six days until their match at Madison Square Garden.

Owen Hart and The British Bulldog retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels after Shawn accidentally hits Sid with Sweet Chin Music. Shawn is knocked out cold next to Sid by Owen and Bulldog after the match.

On the Ross Report on Option 6 of the WWF Superstar Line: Who is the mystery partner at Survivor Series?

Kevin Kelly announces that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Sycho Sid fought each other in the back. Both men are in separate locker rooms, but Kevin Kelly is staying backstage to get interviews from both men.

Confirmed for Survivor Series is a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series match: the team of Faarooq, Vader, "Diesel," "Razor Ramon) vs. the team of Savio Vega, Yokozuna, the debuting Flash Funk and a mystery partner, who is rumored to be a big-time superstar. There is also another 4-on-4 match in that vein: The team of The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn), Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon vs the team of Owen Hart, The British Bulldog and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy).

Kevin Kelly says that Sycho Sid is very intense, but he told him he has a lot of things to say.

Mankind beats Freddie Joe Floyd with the Mandible Claw. The Undertaker's theme plays as the cage with the upside-down effigy of Paul Bearer descends from the ceiling. The Undertaker decrees that a new era of darkness begins Sunday, and all that there to expect is the unexpected. He tells Paul Bearer this is only the beginning of his torture and torment, and that he, Mankind and The Executioner will never rest in peace.

Killer Kowalski and The Valiant Brothers ("Handsome" Jimmy and "Luscious" Johnny Valiant) are official inductees into the 1996 WWE Hall of Fame Class.

We get our first look at the soon-to-debut Rocky Maivia, the WWF's first-ever third-generation Superstar. We also see him induct his father Rocky Johnson into the Cauliflower Alley Club. The Rock says he wants to make his own name in the WWF by getting by on his wrestling style and ability, not his family name. Five years from now, we wants to tell himself he gave 110% effort at everything he did and became the best at it.

Kevin Kelly says that Sycho Sid is out of his locker room...and he's not happy...

The WWF Big Bang Boom tour heads to New York City, New York; New Haven, Connecticut; Springfield, Massachusetts; White Plains, New York; Hull, Quebec, Canada and Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

Kevin Kelly interviews Sycho Sid backstage. Sid doesn't care if "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels made a mistake in the tag team title match tonight. He says there will be no mistake at Survivor Series, as that will be the end of the reign of Shawn Michaels. He says Shawn will step off the mountain while he will step above, and no man will cast a stone to knock him down for he is the master and the ruler of the world.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin tells Vince McMahon that all he does is run his mouth. He tells Bob "Spark Plug" Holly he's going to get a wrestling lesson, and it won't last long. He tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart that he'd better be watching and that he'd better be prepared for Survivior Series, because it is the most important match of his life. He tells Hart that pleasing so many people will get him in trouble. He tells Bret he'd better keep watching, as he'll eventually find him and that they won't have to wait until Survivior Series.

Sable beats Dok Hendrix in the Karate Fights Holiday Tournament to go on to to the next round.

Kevin Kelly interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. He says he and Sycho Sid have always had conflicting personalities, and this is truer than ever. Everyone wants to knock him down off his perch, but he's kicked them in their teeth so far. He says tonight was a mistake, but he still knocked him out colder than a block of ice. He asks Sid what he's going to do at Survivor Series when he hits Sweet Chin Music for real from anywhere. He doesn't care if anybody likes him or not now. He wants Sid's respect, and if he has to beat it out of him, he'll do it.

Jim Ross guests on commentary for the next match.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Bob "Spark Plug" Holly. During the match, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is observed watching the match from backstage. It is also announced that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will take on Vader next week. Also, Bret Hart will be live and in person at C&M Variety in Brooklyn, New York from 6 to 9 PM this Thursday night. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin then approaches Bret Hart's locker room only to say that he's not going to beat Hart up for free, before saying that someone is stealing his lines and that this is indeed the match of the decade (a shot at WCW for calling "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper" the match of the decade). He tells Hart it wil be the end of his legend in one week.
