Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 15, 1997

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats Faarooq to continue to the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Championship tournament despite being in a bad way after a spinebuster from Faarooq and coughing up blood. The Nation of Domination (D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) show up after the match and attack Shamrock, but The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) make the save.

It is announced that Goldust is barred from the arena tonight.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin says he does what he wants, when he wants. As for Owen Hart's "big surprise," he says there's no way he can hurt him any more than he already has and that payback is coming to him.

Taka Michinoku beats El Pantera in a Light Heavyweight Division match. It is announced that Scott Putski now has to have surgery after what happened at Ground Zero in his match against "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher.

The Truth Commission (The Commandant, Recon, Sniper, The Interrogator) says the WWF has seen fit to offer them some worthy opponents, and will prove to The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) the superiority of pure military discipline and show them that in war, second place doesn't count.

The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) beat The Truth Commission (Recon and Sniper) by disqualification after The Interrogator interferes. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, now in better condition, makes the save, then The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) shows up and attacks Shamrock and The Legion. Officials and referees break up the massive brawl.

Sunny is special guest ring announcer for the next match, and Max Mini tries to get a peek underneath Sunny's dress.

Max Mini and Mr. Lucky beat El Torito and Piratita Morgan.

Dude Love is on the cover of the newest WWF Magazine available tomorrow.

Marlena is seen in a short black dress with slits at the sides at the bottom, black leggings and black heels. She also happens to have a gold arm band, a nose ring and dark red lipstick, a completely different look from her usual long gold dress.

Brian Pillman beats Dude Love by disqualification to continue to the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Championship tournament after Goldust, who is barred from the building, shows up without make-up on and comes out from the crowd to attack Pillman. Referees and officials pin Goldust down quickly. At one point in the match, Marlena tries to head to the back, but Brian Pillman catches her and takes her back to ringside.

The intro to the show plays to signal the start of War Zone.

"Jerry" The King Lawler interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the ring. Lawler says the way Austin has been treated is a shame and laughs about the Stone Cold Stunner that Jim Ross received at Ground Zero and the Stunner he gave WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter last week, and he hopes that Vince McMahon gets a Stunner as well. Austin tells Jim Ross that he was at the wrong place and at the wrong time, and tells him to stay at commentary so it doesn't happen again. He also says that he won't be bossed around as he does what he wants when he wants, and nobody can stop him. He also says it's a good thing Vince isn't here, as he will dump him on his head. He also tells Owen Hart that he has hell to play, as he can take him right out with a snap of his fingers. As he says that The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog) has Hell to play, they show up. Bret says he has a name for people like him: hosers. He knows the WWF can't stop what Austin is doing every night, but they have had enough. He then brings out a lawyer who has showed up with the Foundation, and sends him to the ring to issue a temporary restraining order which keeps Austin from coming within 100 feet of Owen, and if he breaks the restraining order, he's going to jail. As Jerry "The King" Lawler looks over Austin's shoulder, Austin gives him the Stone Cold Stunner before kicking his crown out of the ring.

Jim Cornette replaces Jerry "The King" Lawler on commentary. Lawler is seen with a neck brace in the physician's room.

The Patriot beats Owen Hart. During he match, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up, but so do the police, and Austin heads to the back during the commercial break. Austin is then seen coming out of the crowd, distracting Owen and tearing up the restraining order to give The Patriot the opportunity to get Owen with a schoolboy for the win. Austin heads back into the crowd, and the police follow suit.

The police are seen looking for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin backstage.

Jim Ross interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the ring. Shawn says he has done everything that there is to do in the World Wrestling Federation except for one thing: be the European Champion. He decided to take it upon himself and be the first man in WWF history to ever hold all four titles. As for his Hell In A Cell Match against The Undertaker, desperate times call for desperate measures, and though he may be a desperate man, he feels the powers to be in the WWF are the cause of all this, saying he did a good job as a referee at SummerSlam, only to get placed in a match against The Undertaker. When he had a good match with The Undertaker, he was rewarded with a Hell In A Cell Match. As for whether or not it will be his demise, if he goes down, he's bringing everybody with him and he's going out in a blaze of glory. The Undertaker appears on the TitanTron behind a chain link fence, welcoming Shawn to his own personal hell. He says he can still taste the blood, and says there is no escape as two men enter and only he leaves with Shawn's soul. He says Shawn will pay dearly and that the match will be his final resting place. Shawn tells 'Taker he made him taste his blood once, and he will make him taste it again.

On the WWF Superstar Line: The top 10 names "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wants to put in the Stone Cold Stunner!

This past Saturday at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mosh of The Headbangers body slammed the Philly Phanatic before the game.

The British Bulldog and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh)...almost. Bulldog gets the pin, but Thrasher was the legal man, not Mosh. Suddenly, The British Bulldog pulls an American flag away from a fan and rips the flag off the pole. The detached flag is used to choke out Mosh, but The Patriot and Vader show up and attack Hart and Bulldog to end the show.
