Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 4, 1999

RAW

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), the team of Hardcore and Crash Holly and the team of Kane and X-Pac in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Tag Team Match. The New Age Outlaws and the team of Hardcore and Crash Holly are both eliminated by double count-out when the legal men from both teams brawl at ringside and fail to get back in the ring before the ten-count. At the end of the match, Kane - who refuses to tag in - pins Faarooq, but he is not the legal man; X-Pac is. Bradshaw pins X-Pac after a Clothesline From Hell to get the win.

The British Bulldog is seen heading towards the ring, then we see some crowd footage from WWF Rebellion as well as The British Bulldog's actions at the event from last Saturday night. It is announced that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon was flown out of the United Kingdom late Saturday night and has been receiving medical treatment for severe head trauma since.

The British Bulldog shows up. He says WWF Chairman Vince McMahon must be shocked about what happened to WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, and says it is unfortunate that Vince would put her in a position where she would get injured, as he would never put his daughter in a locker room with wrestlers. He says there are too many women in the World Wrestling Federation today, and they do not belong here and that this is a fact. He then says he has come out to apologize to Vince about what happened to Stephanie, since he put her in that position, not him, and Vince screwed him out of a WWF Championship match in the United Kingdom. He calls it a big gesture on his part, considering he turned his own country against him. He then says Vince screwed up, because he doesn't give a damn about the United Kingdom, the United States or American fans; all he cares about is the WWF Championship. At the next pay-per-view, No Mercy, he will step in the ring with The Rock and he is going to give him no mercy. After he is done kicking The Rock's ass up and down the ring and wins, all he will have left is his title shot. Suddenly, Chyna shows up and mocks The Bulldog, and since he has a problem with the women in the WWF, she has a problem with him and wants to know if his bite is as bad as his bark. The British Bulldog takes this as a challenge, and Chyna confirms this as a challenge, telling him she will see him tonight.

Stevie Richards (dressed as Dude Love) tells Mankind where The Rock is.

Mankind enters The Rock's locker room. Unbeknownst to Mankind, The Rock is on the phone. Unbeknownst to The Rock, Mankind is sitting next to him. Mankind says they should call it quits. The Rock says "Sure, sure." The Rock asks if he sure if he wants to do that. Mankind says that there are so many kids who need his help and guidance, and The Rock is almost there. The Rock says he feels the exact same way, too. Mankind tells The Rock he will make it on his own, and that he will be somebody. Suddenly, The Rock gets off the phone and asks Mankind who he is talking to, and Mankind tells The Rock he's going to be alright and if he needs him, he'll be there. The Rock get back on the phone and says "Oh, that's Mankind; he's half-retarded, you know that."

Michael Hayes is at a medical center in Stamford, Connecticut, where he interviews Test. All the doctors have told him that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is suffering from post-concussion syndrome with severe head trauma, and that she did nothing to deserve it. When asked if this will affect the wedding in any way, Test says that Stephanie does not even recognize him.

Backstage, Mae Young and Fabulous Moolah attack Ivory in the locker room bathroom and attempt to disrobe her. Referees and officlas ahve to restore order.

Mankind tells Stevie Richards says that he saw the pain in The Rock's eyes and that it hurt him. Mankind then says he has an idea.

Terri Runnels guests on commentary for the next match.

Edge and Christian beat The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in Round 2 of the Terri Runnels Invitational and go 2-0 in the best-of-five series.

Triple H is seen heading to the ring.

Michael Cole interviews Kane and X-Pac. X-Pac says he did not tag Kane in as it was time to take his stand. He challenges The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) to a Four Corners Elimination Match so they can see who is left standing when the smoke clears. Once and for all, he will prove to everyone and himself that he still belongs in the land of the giants.

Triple H shows up. In thirteen days, he and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will stand face-to-face and eye-to-eye in the middle of the ring one more time, and Austin will see the fire in his eyes that he saw when he laid him out and took him out of the business. At No Mercy, Austin will be lucky to escape. He says Austin didn't have the guts to be in the same building as him tonight, be he does understand that there was an exclusive interview. He may not have the guts, but he has somebody who has as much guts to get in the ring with him: Jim Ross, whom he asks to hold an interview in the ring. He apologizes to Jim Ross about breaking his arm, and now that he is WWF Champion, he is not the angry young man he was before and says nothing will happen to him. Triple H even grabs a steel chair at ringside and brings it into the ring for Jim Ross to sit on. Jim Ross gets up from the commentary table and and gets in the ring, then sits him in the chair, which is facing the TitanTron as Triple H stands next to him. We see interview footage from last Friday where it is revealed that Austin is not cleared to compete in the ring. Austin says he will show up at No Mercy to kick Triple H's ass regardless whether he is medically cleared or not. If he was pissed off before the injury happened, Triple H will have hell to pay when he returns. Austin says he stayed motivated at rehabbing his injury by watching the footage of Triple H laying him out with a steel chair at SummerSlam, saying it is all the motivation he needs. At No Mercy, Triple H will get his payback and nobody does payback better than him. Triple H says those are pretty bad words from a crippled man who is not even in the building. After asking Jim Ross if he is friends with Austin, he asks him what Austin thinks of him. Jim Ross says he would rather not say. Triple H says he understands, but then asks him again. Jim Ross tells Triple H that Austin thinks he's an asshole. Triple H says he figured he would say that, then asks Jim Ross what he personally thinks of him. Jim Ross calls him "a sorry, lowdown S.O.B." Triple H clotheslines Jim Ross out of the chair and kicks him in the gut, then mocks Jim Ross' voice before taking the boots to him. Referees try to restore order, and have to take a steel chair away from him so he does not injure Jim Ross like he did Austin.

Terry Taylor interviews Jeff Jarrett, Miss Kitty and Ivory. Jarrett says they accept Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah's challenge, saying he would be happy to send them packing back to the old folks' home. He then tells Ivory that when he is done, he will let Ivory "slap the osteoporosis out of them."

Mankind is seen playing dominoes with GvsE stars Clayton Rohner and Richard Brooks. G vs E airs Sundays on USA Network at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central. Michael Cole replaces Jim Ross on commentary.

Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah beat Jeff Jarrett and Ivory. When the match begins, Jeff Jarrett suddenly replaces himself in the match with Miss Kitty while joining in on commentary, which ends up costimg Jarrett and Ivory the match when she wants no part of it. After the match, Ivory attacks Mae Young, then Jarrett gets in the ring and chews Miss Kitty out before putting her in the Figure Four Leg Lock. Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah run into the ring as quickly as they can, and Jarrett rolls out as soon as he sees them.

Mankind is at the make-up booth with with GvsE stars Clayton Rohner and Richard Brooks.

We see GTV footage of Droz looking into D'Lo Brown bag...and puking in it.

Mankind shows up with with GvsE stars Clayton Rohner and Richard Brooks (credited as Chandler Smythe and Henry McNeil on the nameplate). He says he had a hell of a lot of fun guest starring on the show with Mr. Socko, and then says he does not like having his testicles grabbed by another man. He says he did not like it when he was an altar boy, and he did not like it last week. He tells Val Venis he got one free squeeze, but he can now consider himself warned. He then tells Rohner and Brooks to get a special front row seat, since Thr Rock is about to fill the arena with electricity and he doesn't want any anybody to get hurt. The Rock's music plays, then The Rock shows up. The Rock says that last week, he brought out him, his coach, his teacher and his girlfriend who cut him off at second base, and now he has lost Mr. Rocko and his jacket, and wants to break up The Rock 'n Sock Connection. The Rock says he never wanted to be part of the Rock 'n Sock connection, but Mankind says The Rock never wanted it to break up, and says he did some serious soul searching after last week and has decided to dedicate his life and career to the ongoing success and legendary status of their tag team. After 15 years in the business, he does not want to go down in history as a three-time WWF Champion or a hardcore legend, or as the guy who flew off the cell in the Hell In A Cell Match, or as the guy who wrestled in barbed wire. He wants to be known from here on in as one-half of the greatest tag team in WWF history, "The Rock 'n Sock Connection." Mankind then says it is a great day, for even though we asw the postponement of Test and Stephanie McMahon's wedding, it felt like a wedding took place right here. The Rock stops Mankind, and asks Mankind if he is implying that he is asking for his hand in marriage, but Mankind says it is a figure of speech. The Rock says he is not "cum-si-cum-sa," and he does not care less if he wanted to offer him some "poontang pie." Mankind says he is not a biology major, but says he does not have any poontang to offer him. He says he does not want The Rock 'n Sock Connection to end "like all those other tag teams," and that he wants them to be like The Three Musketeers. The Rock asks Mankind if he likes swords. Mankind says yes. The Rock then says that he could take him, Mr. Rocko, Mr. Socko, The Three Musketeers, "Jabroni, Mahoney, Baloney," then line them all up, take just one sword, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it straight up their candy asses. Before he can finish however, Chris Jericho and Curtis Hughes show up. Jericho says he was backstage listening to this "ridiculously unfunny, un-entertaining display" between Mankind and The Rock, and came to the conclusion that The Rock should accept Mankind's marriage proposal as he would be perfect as the woman in a male-male relationship...not that there's anything wrong with that. He says The Rock's ridiculous effeminate hairstyle, his flashy yet oh-so-sassy Versace wardrobe collection and his excessive fixation with sticking inanimate objects up other males' anuses make it obvious that The Rock is "cum-si-cum-sa." He tells Mankind and The Rock to unite themselves so they can ride their horse and carriage into the sunset so they can never waste the time of him or his Jerichoholics again. Suddenly, a fan with a Jericho haircut and a glittery jacket jumps the guardrail and gets in the ring, and Jericho says "Case in point" as Mankind tries to get his hands on him. The Rock then asks Jericho if he could keep "his jerkoff dad" out of his ring. He then says after two boring minutes, Jericho should know his role and shut his mouth, as he does not impress him, even after he unmasked Juventud Guerrera in World Championship Wrestling and after he came on his show and interrupted him for the second time to call it "Raw is Jericho." He says Jericho pissed him off, and tonight - on a night when he was not planning to do anything - he has a gift for him: a match against him. The Rock then tells Jericho he is exactly 20 minutes away from him whipping his monkey ass, interruptions from Mankind aside.

Mankind says he is teaming up with Stevie Richards. As he talks about how he told The Rock that "The Rock 'n Sock Connection" is back, they are suddenly ambushed by The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley). D-Von says that if they want a piece of them, they will be in the ring. Two EMTs check on Mankind.

WAR ZONE

Chyna beats The British Bulldog by disqualification after Jeff Jarrett gets into the ring and bashes a coffee urn into Chyna's head. The British Bulldog grabs a microphone and tells Chyna there is no room in the World Wrestling Federation, and taht he said he would kick her ass and that it is exactly what he did. He picks up Chyna to prepare for a running powerslam, and threatens Triple H to get in the ring and give him a shot at the WWF Championship within 10 seconds or he will slam Chyna into the center of the mat. After three, he says he lied, and hits Chyna with the running powerslam.

Terry Taylor interviews The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley). Buh Buh Ray says Mankind and Stevie Richard broke the first commandment: thou shalt not steal. He says that they found The Rock's jacket in the trash, and that nobody steals from The Dudley Boyz. D-Von tells Mankind and Stevie Richards that they also messed with them.

Mankind is seen sweeping the coffee grinds on the mat with a broom and dustpan for the next match. Stevie Richards shows up to Dude Love's entrance theme, and Jim Ross shows up to replace Michael Cole on commentary. When the match begins, Val Venis shows up and pull Mr. Rocko out of the fly of his jeans and lets Mr. Rocko hang out as he distracts Mankind, daring him to get on the stage and brawl with him. D-Von joins in on the brawl, as does Buh Buh Ray Dudley. Val Venis then leaves the stage and guests on commentary, but it isn't long before Buh Buh Ray and Mankind run right into him, and Val Venis takes the boots to Mankind a few times before tossing Mankind back into the ring. Val Venis then gets back on commentary, saying he lost all respect for Mankind and that he did not come to the WWF to be pushed around by someone like Foley. Venis then gets off commentary and get son the apron. Manknd gets Venis in the Mandible Claw, but The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) hit Stevie Richards with the Dudley Death Drop. The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat Mankind and Stevie Richards. After the match, The Dudley Boyz continue to fight Mankind, who proceeds to plow them into the mat with a DDT at the same time. Mankind then goes after Val Venis.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is seen entering the building...

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up, and says he will not ask The British Bulldog to his family, the fans or even the people of America or the United Kingdom. He wants him to apologize to WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon for bashing her head in with a trash can; as a matter of fact, he is demanding he do this right now. The British Bulldog shows up, stands on the stage, and says he is sick and tired of apologies and says he will not apologize for something that was his fault. Vince says he has no choice but to invite him into the ring so he can beat an apology out of him. The British Bulldog says nobody can beat him, and lucky for him he is taking the rest of the night off.

Before the next match, The Rock tells Chris Jericho that if he wants to make a big deal of his fixation with turning things sideways and sticking them up candy asses, then he can come out to the ring with Curtis Hughes so he can take the entirety of Curtis Hughes' body, turn him sideways, and stick him straight up Jericho's candy ass. When Jericho shows up, The Rock is attacked from behind by Curtis Hughes, who has come out from the crowd.

The Rock beats Chris Jericho. During the match, the lights gradually dim until the arena goes completely dark, then Jericho hits The Rock with the ring bell as Curtis Hughes keeps referee Earl Hebner distracted on the apron. When the lights come back on, Curtis Hughes grabs Eearl Hebner during a pinfall and drags out of the ring, knocking out Hebner so he can throw a steel chair into the ring. The Rock manages to hit Chris Jericho with the Rock Bottom into the chair that Curtis Hughes brought into the ring. Hebner comes to, even though his left knee hurts, and The Roch hits The People's Elbow to get the win. After the match, The British Bulldog runs into the ring and brawls with The Rock while Chris Jericho and Curtis Hughes argue on their way out. Referees have to run into the ring and restore order, but The British Bulldog is still able to get his hands on The Rock and hit him some more. The Bulldog is eventually outside of the ring, and referees keep The Bulldog from getting back in. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon runs out, kicks The Bulldog in the gut, tosses him back into the ring and tells The Rock to beat him up - which he does - to end the show.

After the show goes off the air, Triple H shows up and attacks The Rock as soon as The British Bulldog is out of the ring again. The British Bulldog gets back in the ring and hits The Rock with the WWF Championship. As Bulldog and Triple H take the boots to The Rock in the corner, Mankind shows up. He fights off Triple H, then fights The British Bulldog. The Rock hits Triple H with a Rock Bottom as Mankind sends The Bulldog out of the ring, then The Rock hits Triple H with The People's Elbow. After The Rock's music hits, Mankind locks the Mandible Claw on Triple H before pushing Triple H into another Rock Bottom. Mankind and The Rock then hit Triple H with a double People's Elbow to send the fans home happy.
