Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 16, 1995

Diamond Dallas Page knocks out Johnny B. Badd with the World Television title before their match can even begin, then fires the Badd Gun into the audience as he lays on top of Badd. Johnny B. Badd ends up winning the match by disqualification as the Diamond Doll watches with disgust.

Chris Benoit beats Eddie Guerrero in his WCW debut.

It is announced that - according to rumor - the WCW International Committee is considering establishing a cruiserweight division after adding the likes of Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko to World Championship Wrestling.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund says that one of the top officials in WWF is allegedly out of the company over the weekend, and that one of their Superstars was in a fight with a fan in a parking lot, but it can only be mentioned further on the WCW Hotline. He then introduces The Giant and The Taskmaster. The Taskmaster says that he has warned everyone that he was evil for months, and that Hulk Hogan created him. He says that Hulk Hogan has an evil side, and the difference between him and Hulk Hogan is that he knew he was the personification of evil and that Hulk still has a pocket of goodness left in him. He had Hulk's mustache shaved off in order to destroy his dignity, and after Halloween Havoc, all of the Hulkamaniacs who have "bought in" will become children of evil. The Giant plans to push him all over the rooftop and push him off, then drag him into the ring and take the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He asks Okerlund if he wants to see the hands that will destroy Hulk Hogan, and Okerlund gets a very close-up look of one of those hands.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: VK Wallstreet vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Disco Inferno vs. "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright! "Macho Man" Randy Savage takes on one of the most bizarre newcomers WCW has ever seen! Hulk Hogan makes an appearance!

Disco Inferno dances at the entrance ramp again before Meng shows up.

Meng beats "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan with the Spike.

Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart say they watched the whole world stand still when they showed up in all black, and that the evil within Hulk Hogan is real. Hulk says it's time to take care of family business, and that The Giant has yet to look him in the eyes and feel the power of Hulkamania. Jimmy Hart says he's worried as Hulk Hogan says he's going to beat The Giant.

Ric Flair shows up alone before the next match, with Sting never making an entrance until later on in the match.

Sting and Ric Flair beat Arn Anderson and Flyin' Brian by count-out after the latter team retreats.

After the commercial break, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Ric Flair and Sting. Sting sat backstage and watched the match from there to see what Ric Flair would do, and after noticing how much guts Flair had, he jumped in and has decided Flair is walking the straight and narrow. Sting then says he wants to team up against Arn Anderson and Flyin' Brian again at Halloween Havoc. Ric Flair says he's in.

Next week: Sting and Lex Luger vs. Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray)! Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko vs. "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright and Eddie Guerrero! Hulk Hogan makes an appearance!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 16, 1995

Dr. Isaac Yankem plans to ply the biggest set of braces on Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's teeth. But Hart calls Yankem and Jerry "The King" Lawler the tartar and abscess of the WWF, and plans on playin personal hygienist. Lawler says that Yankem will cure his gingivitis and overbite, and that "he'll soon look like his trenchmouth mother" as Yankem's victory is under lock and key.

It is announced that King Mabel and Dean Douglas have both been fined $7,500 for their roles in last week's vicious attacks in the six-man tag team match last week. Also, interim WWF President Gorilla Monsoon will announce who King Mabel will face off against on Sunday, as The Undertaker has recently suffered a crushed face last week after King Mabel and Yokozuna repeatedly came down on his face.

Triple H beats Doink.

Barry Horowitz quizzes Hakushi on American culture...and Hakushi knows that Hank Aaron is the home run king, not Babe Ruth.

The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D). Before the match, interim WWF President Gorilla Monsoon declares that Yokozuna will be the one to face off against King Mabel on Sunday. During the match, it is announced that The Smoking Gunns will be chatting live on America On-Line tomorrow night.

Bertha Faye defends the WWF Women's Championship against Alundra Blayze next week on Raw!

Last week on the WWF World Tour de Force, Dok Hendrix interviewed The British Bulldog and Jim Cornette. Cornette tells Diesel that last week was all part of a plan to get a shot of the WWF Championship, in which he turned his back on all his friends in WWE so that nobody could get in his way. Cornette then says that The Bulldog will take the WWF Championship from Diesel on Sunday. When Dok Hendrix says that rumor is going around that The British Bulldog couldn't beat Diesel without help, Bulldog is incensed and insists that he's beaten Diesel once and that will beat Diesel again.

We get a look at Ahmed Johnson, who talks about what honor really is.

Dean Douglas beats Joe Dorgan. It is announced that Shawn Michaels was beat up in an unprovoked attack in Syracuse, New York by ten individuals and battered in the face even after he lost consciousness, in which case he was rammed face-first into a parked car. His eyes are now swollen shut. (In reality, Shawn Michaels was beaten up by three Marines.) Vince McMahon interviews Shawn Michaels, who says that he's not looking good, but he will still be at In Your House somehow.

Dok Hendrix advertises the Two Dudes With Attitudes shirt with Diesel and Shawn Michaels on it. One size fits most, and it's only $20 with $3.95 shipping and handling and comes with a free classic WWF video cassette.

The WWF Tag Team Championships will be on the line at In Your House when The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) defend the titles against Razor Ramon and The 1-2-3 Kid. Also, Fatu takes on Hunter Hearst Helmsley on Sunday.

We hear from Goldust, who tells Marty Jannetty he's about to get a major makeover courtesy of Goldust.

Paul Bearer says The Undertaker may never look or be the same again after the attack from King Mabel and Yokozuna, but says The Undertaker will return soon and crush them both.

Next week: a 20-man over-the-top battle royal, where the winner gets a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship!

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Isaac Yankem, DDS in a steel cage. During the match, it is revealed that Jerry "The King" Lawler has switched the cage door lock with a fake one when the referee can't unlock it. It is also mentioned that Option 6 has more information on the Shawn Michaels situation. Jerry "The King" Lawler tries to interfere by climbing up the cage wall and attacking Hart when Hart tries to climb out after putting Yankem in the Sharpshooter, and as promised, he is placed in his own cage that is then suspended high above the ring. Lawler hands Yankem the key to his lock, but Hart rolls Yankem up and hits him in the jaw before throwing the King's lock and key away, allowing the ref to apply the real lock. Nevertheless, he climbs out of the ring over the steel cage wall.





Jerry "The King" Lawler is still in the shark cage high above the ring as the show comes to an end.
