Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for September 20, 1998

Mankind beats a less-than-focused Dustin Runnels with the Mandible Claw with The Rock and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock at ringside in case Kane and The Undertaker show up. During the match, WWF owner Vince McMahon is seen talking to Kane and The Undertaker backstage. After the match, Dustin Runnels is still in the ring when Val Venis shows up. Venis says life must have gotten Dustin a little down recently, and says that his wife Terri Runnels has been down as well. Venis then says he is a kind and charitable man who likes to spread his good cheer wherever possible, and decides to raise Dustin's emotions to brand new heights by playing his latest video, How Terri Got Her Groove. In the film, Terri is seen in bed with Venis, who says he understands how tough it must be to see his wife in bed with another man, and that he can only thing that harder. Terri says it is "The Big Valbowski." Dustin is inconsolable, and Venis says that if anybody knows how hard "The Big Valbowski" is, it is his wife.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Kane and The Undertaker. The Undertaker asks why everyone feels it is necessary to anger him and Kane, and when Cole has no answer, The Undertaker says his business deal is just business. He says he has no love lost for WWF owner Vince McMahon, and if he were on fire, he would not pour scalding hot water on him. As far as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin goes, it is neither his nor Kane's fault that Vince is angered, and that he should be focused on their match for the WWF Championship so that the only thing Austin loses is the WWF title. When Cole says that their plan could be flawed with Mankind, The Rock and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock waiting for them, The Undertaker tells Cole he is starting to push his luck and says that as far as they go, they need to understand that if they get in his and Kane's way, they will be hurt badly. He says that they should think long and hard before sticking their noses in their business, for they take no prisoners and show no mercy. As for The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball), DOA stands for "dead on arrival," which is what happens with their careers when they get in the ring tonight, as they stand between them and something they want very badly. While the D.O.A. cannot be the first victims, they can be the next. Kane then takes the microphone and talks through his autolarynx, and tells Austin that his and The Undertaker's destiny will be Austin's demise. All of a sudden, Mankind rushes towards them, and The Rock and Shamrock join in on the assault. Vince McMahon tries to break the brawl up to no avail, and referees and officials have to pull everyone apart. The brawl ends with The Undertaker and Kane brandishing sledgehammers.

Backstage, WWF owner Vince McMahon tries to talk to Mankind, and tells him to leave along with The Rock and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock out of the arena for their collective protection.

Jacqueline beats Luna Vachon with a Figure Four Leg Lock. After the match, Sable tells Jacqueline to get back in the ring. Jacqueline returns and tells Sable she doesn't tell her what to do and that she has something for her that isn't a bikini or arm wrestling contest. Tomorrow night on Raw, she is challenging her to a wrestling match, and dares her to pin her if she is woman enough. Sable says pinning Jacqueline should be easy enough, since she gets nailed enough. She then accepts the challenge.

Mankind, The Rock and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock are seen being escorted out of the arena.

Before the next match, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn tries to do "Road Dogg" Jesse James' part of the intro due to Road Dogg's throat issues, but he messes up and skips ahead to his usual part.

"Double J" Jeff Jarrett and The Nation (D'Lo Brown and Owen Hart) beat D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). During the match, a few production botches involving a circular wipe to black, a Sunday Night Heat logo suddenly showing up, the "double feature" replay showing the exact same thing and a few color bar test patterns occur, much to the bemusement of the announce team. Later in the match, Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) brawl at ringside along with "Road Dogg" Jesse James, and Mark Canterbury hits X-Pac with a pump handle slam before D'Lo hits the Lo-Down for the win. After the match, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry attacks Triple H on the ramp.

When the next match featuring Edge is announced, the color test bar pattern appears again.

Cameras are seen inside the production truck with Al Snow messing with things. The production staff call security on Al Snow.

Edge quickly beats Taka Michinoku. During the match, head of WWF security Jim Dotson and two police officers are seen heading to the production truck. After the match, the rest of Kaientai (Sho Funaki, Men's Teioh, Dick Togo). Suddenly, Gangrel shows up and slams Yamaguchi-san, causing Kaientai to run. Gangrel then tells Edge that he will come home.

Al Snow is seen being handcuffed by local law enforcement in the production truck.

Al Snow is seen being led in handcuffs to the ring, where WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter waits for him. After Slaughter berates Snow and tells him that he is not wanted in the World Wrestling Federation. Al Snow then laughs because Head sneezed up his butt and he cannot stick a Tic-Tac up there. Slaughter says Snow needs discipline and that enough is enough, and if Snow wants to keep showing up, then he had better be at Raw tomorrow night, as he will challenge him to a Boot Camp Match. Snow wants to know what is in it for him and Head if they win, and Slaughter says that if they can somehow win, he will reinstate him. After he dismisses Snow, he then attacks Snow - who is still handcuffed - from behind and gets him in a Cobra Clutch. Head of WWF security Jim Dotson has to pull Slaughter off Snow. Slaughter then tells Snow to beware of the Cobra Clutch.

WWF owner Vince McMahon guests on commentary for the next match.

The Undertaker and Kane beat The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball).
