Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 8, 1999

RAW

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up to start tonight's show. Last week on SmackDown, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon hit him in the face with the WWF Championship, and he does not like to get hit in the face with the WWF Championship. We see the footage of what happened on SmackDown again, then Austin calls Vince out. Vince shows up, saying it was a mistake, and Austin tells Vince to think really about what he is going to say about him as the fans in the arena are calling him an asshole, and he wants to know if he is a lying asshole or an honest asshole. Vince says everybody makes mistakes as the microphone cuts in and out, and Vince has to change his microphone. Austin hands him another microphone, then takes the one cutting in and out into the fans. Vince screams at Austin that that was a $10,000 microphone, and Austin tells Vince that if he raises his voice at him again, he'll toss him into the crowd just like that. Vince says that he does not appreciate being called an asshole, regardless of whether he is honest or not, and tells Austin that this was indeed an accident and that lightning can strike twice. Austin asks the crowd to give him a hell yeah if they want to see him beat Vince's ass, as he does not believe him, but Vince says he will prove that was not a mistake by making himself the special guest referee for the Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series. Suddenly, The Rock shows up, and tells Vince that if he wants to be the special guest referee, then he smells what he is cooking and that it smells like the biggest pile of bullcrap he has ever seen. He admits he and Austin do not agree on much, but they do agree on never, ever trusting a roody poo candy ass. Vince's microphone starts acting up again, and Austin tosses it into the crowd before handing his mike to Vince. Vince says that if they do not believe that was an accident, then The Rock costing Austin the WWF Championship must be an accident and that it is an accident that Triple H is champion, too. Triple H shows up, and he says everyone is in agreement that all three men in the ring are a bunch of screw-ups who have made mistakes, but the only one who does not make mistakes is him, as he has beaten every one of them and there have been no mistakes or accidents about it, as he is that damn good. At Survivor Series, it will not make a difference if Vince is the special guest referee or if it is a Triple Threat Match, as he will walk out as WWF Champion. Triple H then tells Vince that if he gets in his face tonight, it will be the biggest mistake of his life. Austin says the only mistake being made is Triple H entering the ring at Survivor Series, as he is going to get his ass whipped.

Al Snow and Mankind are confronted backstage by The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) make fun of the Al Snow action figure controversy by saying that Head is a decapitated woman's head and that Al Snow is a serial killer. Referees and officlas have to separate both teams before it can get violent.

Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James says that it is said that Al Snow beats women and decapitates them, and that his action figure has been removed from Wal-Mart store shelves like they will remove the tag team titles from his and Mankind's waists.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Al Snow and Mankind to win the WWF Tag Team Championships for the fifth time. During the match, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is both seen and heard backstage telling someone that if D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) get involved in anything else tonight, "it will be their ass." Later on in the match, Val Venis attacks Mankind at ringside, distracting referee Earl Hebner as Snow hits Road Dogg with the Snow Plow. Billy Gunn hits Snow with a steel chair and rolls Road Dogg on top of Snow, giving them the tag team titles once again.

Michael Cole interviews The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), who take the microphone away from Cole so that X-Pac can brag that he will beat The Rock's ass tonight while Triple H tells WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to stick his head in his ass as he moons him, and says that D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn) does what they want when they want. He says that if Vince has a problem with that, he can kiss his ass.

Kevin Kelly interviews Mankind and Al Snow. Snow says his mind is somewhere due to the action figure controversy, and says his mother gets calls about him all the time to the point that she is worried about him.

Before the next match, The Godfather offers his hos to Val Venis, saying they will toss his salad, pack his fudge, puff his fatty and call him daddy. Val Venis takes the hos, then turns around and gets a cheap shot on The Godfather.

The Godfather beats Val Venis by count-out after Mankind shows up and brawls with Val Venis into the crowd. After the match, the hos celebrate with referee Tim White.

Michael Hayes interviews Test and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, as well as WWF co-owners Shane and Linda McMahon. Linda is so happy and proud for both Test and Stephanie, and she welcomes Test into their family with open arms. Shane says that this marriage has his total blessing.

Lilian Garcia regretfully announces that Big Show's father, Paul Wight Sr., has passed away after a valiant battle with cancer over the weekend. Private services will be held this weekend, and the bell is tolled ten times in his memory. As everyone stands up, The Big Boss Man suddenly shows up after the sixth toll, and says they should not start the grieving process without him, as he has feelings too. It pains him that Big Show's father has passed away, and he reads a sympathy card. "With the deepest regrets and tears that are soaked, I'm sorry to hear your dad finally croaked. He lived a full life on his own terms, soon he'll be buried and eaten by worms. But if I can have a son as stupid as you, I'd wish for cancer so I could die, too. So be brave and be strong, get your life back on track, 'cause the old bastard's dead and he ain't never coming back."

Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle is coming to the World Wrestling Federation!

Edge, Christian and The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) beat The British Bulldog and The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs). The Mean Street Posse are seen wearing Minnesota Golden Gophers jerseys and ballcaps, as the Golden Gophers have gotten an upset win over the Penn State Nittany Lions with a last-minute field goal over the weekend. After the match, all eight men continue to brawl, and referees and officials have to restore order.

Triple H and WWF CHairman Vince McMahon are seen getting in each others' face backstage, with .

We see footage from earlier today where Chris Jericho is at Beaver Stadium at Penn State University, and says Penn State has not embarrassed themselves in the same way that WWF has done so by making a woman the Intercontinental Champion. He tells Chyna that if she has the balls - "and judging by how [she ]looks, [she] has two huge ones" - she will hand the Intercontinental Championship over to him and save herself a beating at his hands.

WAR ZONE

We see some footage of The Rock's photo shoot for People Magazine.

Before the next match, The Rock tells X-Pac that if he wants to come down the aisle with a can of Hansen's Energy Drink, he will take the can, dump out the contents and replace it with monkey piss, then turn it sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass.

The Rock beats X-Pac. During the match, The Rock inadvertently hop tosses X-Pac over the guardrail and into referee Earl Hebner during a brawl in the crowd. X-Pac hits The Rock with a low blow and steel chair shot, but The Rock kics out as it takes a while for Hebner to get back into the ring. X-Pac goes for the X Factor, but The Rock hits a Rock Bottom to win the match. After the match, the rest of D-Generation X (Triple H, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) attack The Rock, and WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up after Triple H hits The Rock with a Pedigree. Vince tells Triple H that this is between the two of them and that he does not need Road Dogg, Billy Gunn and X-Pac. The rest of D-Generation X leaves the ring, and Vince says that Tripel H did not like it when he made himself the special guest referee for the WWF Championship Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series, and says he won't like what he has in store ronight. Tonight, Triple H will be defending the WWF Championship against Test, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon will be special guest referee while he will be special guest timekeeper. Also, if D-Generation X comes within 50 feet of the ring, Triple H will be stripped of the WWF Championship and Test will win the title. An angry Triple H is about to fight Vince when The Rock gets back in the ring, hits Triple H with the Rock Buttom and hits him with The People's Elbow.

Backstage, D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are frustrated with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, and Road Dogg tells Triple H that if he is to beat Vince, he will have to outthink him.

Chyna and Miss Kitty show up. Chyna tells Chris Jericho that the worst thing he could do at Survivor Series is look across the ring and see him as just a woman. Suddenly, Stevie Richards shows up dressed like Elvis Presley trying to hit on her by singing horribly. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up and kicks Stevie Richards in the groin before tossing him out of the ring and shoving Miss Kitty. Chyna and Jericho go at it, and referees have to pull of them apart. Both Chyna and Jericho manages to escape their corners while being held back to go at it a few more times.

At a nearby bar, The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) are seen watching the show when they get some female companionship.

Al Snow is seen calling him mom in the locker room, telling him what is going on considering the action figure comentary, and says he was unable to buy his action figure at Wal-Mart, but was able to buy a shotgun and live ammo. Mankind shows up, bearing gifts in the form of WWF The Music, Volume 4 as well as Head, who has not been seen in months.

Kane beats The Big Boss Man by disqualification after Prince Albert interferes as Tori watches the match on a monitor from backstage. Albert gets choke slammed, then The Big Boss mNa attacks Kane with his nightstick.

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) are still at the bar with the woman from earlier. The woman's boyfriend shows up and tells them to keep his hands off his girlfriend, then yanks her away.

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) plot a way to outsmart Vince, saying that Vince cannot outsmart all of them at once.

Before the next match, Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) start speaking in trendy language, saying that they will beat The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly).

The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) beats Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) when Grandmaster Sexay distracts referee Teddy Long.

Faarooq and Bradshaw (The Acolytes) watch the friends of the guy from earlier call them "fake wrasslers" and say they pretend to be tough. After the commercial break, they threaten to beat The Acolytes' asses, which does not fare very well for them at all as they and the guy from earlier all get destroyed. The girl they met follows them out of the bar, and Bradshaw says "No wonder Minnesota beat your ass!"

Triple H retains the WWF Championship by count-out. At the beginning of the match, special guest referee Shane McMahon makes two fast counts in an attempt to screw Triple H out of the WWF Championship, and special guest timekeeper Vince McMahon tosses Triple H back into the ring as soon as he comes out. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen watching the match on a monitor from backstage, as is The Rock. Later on in the match, Shane asks Vince how much time is left in the match as Triple H pins Test following a Pedigree, and Triple H attacks both of them mercilessly. Vince grabs the WWF Championship and smacks Triple H in the face with the WWF Championship before placing Test on top of Triple H and getting Shane to make the count. Triple H kicks out after all of this, and as Test goes up for a top rope elbow drop, "Road Dogg" Jesse James is on the TitanTron. He opens a door, where "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn and X-Pac are seen doing something to WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon. Vince, Shane and Test run to the back, and Triple H wins by count-out. After the match, Vince makes it to D-Generation X's (Triple H, X-Pac, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn) locker room, but the room is empty.
