Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 18, 1996

Jim Ross is on commentary this week, now as a neutral commentator, as his heel turn is suddenly dropped without explanation.

Mankind attacks "Stone Cold" Steve Austin before their match even starts, and officials have to get both men in the ring so that it can finally begin.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Mankind by disqualification after The Executioner interferes. The Undertaker shows up to make the save, but Austin clotheslines The Undertaker only for 'Taker to land on his feet. When 'Taker gets back in the ring, Austin retreats to the back.

The encore of Survivor Series is tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central on pay-per-view!

Ahmed Johnson is seen walking down the stairs in the crowd, and he sits high atop the crowd to watch the next match from afar as Sunny arrives to introduce someone who is a dear friend of hers: Faarooq Asaad. Faarooq, Clarence Mason and the hip-hoppers show up, and Faarooq is seen carrying a 2x4 in his hands. The hip-hoppers kneel and raise their fist while Faarooq faces them and raises his. Sunny guests on commentary for the next match

Faarooq Asaad - now known as just Faarooq - beats Savio Vega after his hip-hop entourage attacks Vega with the 2x4 as Faarooq distracts the referee. After the match, Ahmed Johnson charges into ringside and attacks the hip-hoppers before chasing Faarooq out of the ring. Ahmed Johnson then calls out Faarooq, telling him that he will pay for putting him on the shelf for several months before starting a "You're going down!" chant.

Sunny beats Bob Baclund to continue to the next round of the Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament.

It is announced that Jose Lothario refused medical attention after the events of last night, as Vince McMahon states that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels may be hated, but is a man's man for showing enough compassion to check on Lothario than worry about the championship.

Captain Lou Albano shows up for the next match to guest on commentary at the Spanish commentary table.

Clarence Mason, The British Bulldog and Owen Hart say that they are impressed with Doug Furnas and Philip LaFon, but tell them that they won't win next time and that they'll have to work to get a title shot against them.

Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon beat Leif Cassidy and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly. It is announced that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will take on his brother Owen Hart next week.

Pieces of the top rope from the ring from Survivor Series 1996 is available as the Survivor Series Top Rope Plaques. Each plaque is individually numbered to ensure authenticity, and features a photo of Sycho Sid and an actual piece of the ring rope from the main event. Each plaque is worth $59 plus $8 shipping and handling.

In Your House: It's About Time is live December 15th on pay-per-view!

Jim Ross interviews Sycho Sid in the ring. He has no remorse about what he did last night, as Jose Lothario got on the apron and "became part of the game," and says only misery can come from that. He gives "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michael his rematch, saying he's beaten him once and can beat him again, as he is the man and the master and the ruler of the world. Sid says he will become a fighting champion. He tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart he will end his comeback at In Your House.
