Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for August 9, 1998

Paul Bearer, Kane and Mankind show up to start tonight's show. Mankind says that on the day before King of the Ring, knowing full well his life would never be the same, he went out and took his two little children to Santa's Village, and as he sat on the roller coaster, his four-year-old daughter reached up and kissed him on the cheek, and when he asked why, she said "Because, Daddy, you're a good man." He says it was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard, and the very next day, The Undertaker tried to take all of that away from him. He tells the crowd they are scum that don't deserve to be in the same arena as him, and then talks about how The Undertaker pushed him off the top of the cell into the announce table before choke slamming him through the cell ceiling, all the while unable to keep him down. With his arm hanging by a thread, his tongue poking through a hole below his lip and one of his teeth stuck in his nose, he finished the match because he could, and Jim Ross sat there and said that if ever a man deserved a standing ovation, it would have to be him. He then says that out of a crowd of 20,000 people, 200 people cheered as the rest saw the WWF's "toughest son-of-a-bitch" and were too stupid to know. Mankind says two things became very clear: he cannot and will wrestle ever again except for the acceptance of the fans, and his career will never end in a blaze of glory and he will slowly lose all of his bodily functions while nobody gives a damn. He then tells The Undertaker to somewhere and somehow find the courage to face him man-to-man, as he will not give the satisfaction of putting the final nail in the coffin of Mankind. He then says that if he does, then he will tear him apart.

Vader beats "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry by disqualification after Mark Henry hits Vader with repeated body splashes after Vader busts his mouth open.

Backstage, Michael Cole reports that he has been able to speak with The Undertaker and confirms The Undertaker has heard what Mankind had to say at the top of the show. He also reports that The Undertaker was in no mood to conduct an interview with him, but The Undertaker did say that he has a statement later tonight and that he will be waiting by The Undertaker's locker room.

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) vs. Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) ends in a double disqualification after "Double J" Jeff Jarrett and Darren "Puke" Drozdov get involved and the match gets out of control.

X-Pac beats Taka Michinoku. During the match, a joint press conference between Val Venis and John Wayne Bobbitt is announced for tomorrow night on Raw. After the match, the rest of Kaientai (Sho Funaki, Dick Togo, Men's Teioh) run in and attack X-Pac, then the rest of D-Generation X (Triple H, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) run into fight Kaientai. As Yamaguchi-San backs away into the ring, he accidentally backs into Chyna, who hits him with a forearm that causes him to roll down the ramp and into Taka.

Backstage, Michael Cole reports that he was invited into The Undertaker's locker room concerning his statement towards Mankind; however, when The Undertaker noticed the cameraman following him, the cameraman was pushed away.

Bradshaw beats Dustin Runnels. During the match, it is announced that Triple H will be guesting on Pacific Blue, coming up after Sunday Night Heat. It is then announced that Darren "Puke" Drozdov has recently challenged "Double J" Jeff Jarrett to a match, and that the challenge has been accepted on Jarrett's behalf by Tennessee Lee and will take place later tonight.

We see another edition of Droz's World where Darren "Puke" Drozdov talks about other people's reactions to his tattoos.

Darren "Puke" Drozdov beats "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. During the match, Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) show up, briefly distracting Drozdov. They are later met by The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh), who distract the referee as Tennessee Lee tosses one of his cowboy boots to Jarrett. Droz grabs the boot instead, and hits Jarrett with the boot to get the win. After the match, Jarrett argues with Tennessee Lee, and the argument gets physical as Jarrett pushes Tennessee Lee only for Lee to push back. Tennessee Lee tells Jarrett that he is the problem, but when he sics Southern Justice on Jarrett, Southern Justice turn on Tennessee Lee, beating him up along with Jarrett. Jarrett then tells the crowd that if they don't like him and Southern Justice, they can kiss his ass.

Paul Bearer, Kane and Mankind show up again. Mankind is seen carrying an ice scraper to the ring, and says that tonight, he will tear The Undertaker apart. All of a sudden, Kane grabs Mankind by the throat and tosses him off the apron and into a commentary table before punching Paul Bearer out. After hitting Mankind with the steel steps and stomping Paul Bearer, he hits Mankind with the Tombstone Piledriver before removing his mask and revealing himself to be The Undertaker in disguise the whole time to end the show.
