Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 25, 1999

Sting, without his usual facepaint and dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, is backstage looking for WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon, and throwing things around as he does.

Sting shows up, still in the white T-shirt and blue jeans. He says that his message is for WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon, as he has heard things in the back that he does not like and that Dillon will not like, either. He only agreed to a fight, and nothing more, and demands Dillon make his way to the ring before he comes back to the back after him. Dillon shows up, and Sting says that he faced Goldberg to bail WCW out of a bad situation after his match with Hulk Hogan. However, he never said anything about the WCW World Heavyweight Championship being on the line. He demands that the WCW World Heavyweight Championship be returned back to him. Dillon tells Sting he is absolutely right, and that the match was not sanctioned. Goldberg is not the World Heavyweight Champion, but neither is Sting, as Sting has been stripped of the title after attacking referee Charles Robinson last night as per the WCW Championship Committee. Dillon also announces a 32-man tournament to decide the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and that Sting is one of the 32 men. Dillon tells Sting he is only the messenger, and Sting asks him to send the committee a message by attacking him and putting him in the Scorpion Death Lock. Goldberg runs in and pushes Sting off of Dillon before both he and Sting brawl. Security eventually runs into the ring to separate both men.

Eight of the matches in the 32 man tournament are announced and are as follows: Bret "The Hit Man" Hart vs. Goldberg, Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero, Norman Smiley vs. Bam Bam Bigelow, and Kidman vs. Konnan. These four matches are part of what is called "Group 1." There is also a "Group 2" with The Total Package vs. Rick Steiner, Diamond Dallas Page vs. David Flair, a mystery opponent vs. Madusa, and Brian Knobbs vs. Sting.

It is announced that The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) are wrestling tonight, and we see footage from earlier today where The Outsiders do not have their wrestling gear with them do not care if they are wrestling tonight when told such by a production assistant as the pull a cooler full of bear out of their vehicle.

WCW Grip 'n Flip Wrestlers and WCW Electronic Thumb Wrestling are now available!

Reba Call of Leesville, Louisiana is this week's Mayhem winner.

Mike Tenay interviews Norman Smiley, who says that last week's match was amusing to him, but tonight's match is his chance to show he is a scientific, technical wrestler. Bam Bam Bigelow may be tough, but he is tougher than a two-dollar steak, and Bam Bam Bigelow will fall just like all the rest to the Big Wiggle, as he is the toughest wrestler in WCW.

Before the next match, Bam Bam Bigelow brings in a cart full of weapons, and Bigelow says that since Normal Smiley says he is a scientific, technical wrestle, he has decided to scientifically challenge him to a Hardcore Match.

In the Mayhem Match of the Week, Norman Smiley beats Bam Bam Bigelow in a hardcore match to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament after accidentally running into Bigelow and landing on his crotch while an aluminum trash can is still on his head.

Mike Tenay interviews The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall). Kevin Nash insists he is retired, and Scott Hall says that he and Nash are waiting until the top of the hour to respond and that while he has a ton of bosses, Mike Graham is not one of them.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero, Torrie Wilson) show up. Eddie takes the microphone and says that no matter how many times they are booked against each other, they will never beak up as they are family, and they are lewd, loud and The Filthy Animals. At Halloween Havoc, they came, they saw and they kicked "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's ass. Kidman says if you do not believe them, all they have to do is watch the Kid Cam footage. We see footage of The Filthy Animals taking Flair out to thhe middle of the desert and kick dirt all over him after they drove the ambulance out of the arena. Konnan throws some watter at him from a water bottle, then they leave him on the ground. Kidman then says that Ric Flair will not be coming back, and Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) are next and that they will learn just how bad The Filthy Animals are, as they have no remose or respect and they don't care. Rey Mysterio Jr. takes the microphone before Kidman can say a cuss word, and asks for a chance for The Filthy Animals, because when given the opportunity, they will hump the opposition like the dogs they are. Konnan says that when The Filthy Animals are in heat, somebody is fresh meat. Suddenly, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn show up with metal objects and attack THe Filthy Animals while Torrie Wilson slowly back her way towards the stage. All of a sudden, she backs into Shane Douglas and Asya, the latter of whom has not been seen in months. Asya grabs Torrie Wilson from behind and carries her to the back while Shane Douglas follows.

Mike Tenay interviews Curt Hennig. Hennig says the powers that be are phasing out the older guys in favor of younger talent, and that he has been "put on the bubble" and has been told that if he gets pinned again, he will be fired. Hennig states he will hang the wrestling boots up on his own terms. All he needs to get on top is a reason, and now he has one.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) have some coffee as they talk about their match. Nash says that the censors had better have their fingers on the button when they make their way into the ring. Scott Hall complains that the coffee does not taste nearly as good as the beer in their cooler.

Lash LaRoux beats Curt Henning by disqualification after Hennig punches referee Mickey Jay as Lash LaRoux lifts Hennig on his shoulders. Disco Inferno guests on commentary during the match and compliments Lash LaRoux on giving him a better fight than he expected. After the match, Hennig attacks LaRoux with a steel chair, and when Disco checks on LaRoux, he gets smacked with it as well.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) are running backstage after Shane Douglas and Asya with metal pipes in their hands.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is seen hobbling his way into the building, while Goldberg gets ready for his match with Bret in the locker room.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund is in the ring with The Nitro Girls. We are introduced to Lauren and Danielle, the finalists from Phoenix, Arizona, who are already on the stage. Votes can pick who moves on at WCW.com. All of a sudden, Jeff Jarrett shows up with a guitar in his hand, and tells everyone to get out of the ring and grabs the microphone, threatening to "stroke" everyone if they do not get out. Jarrett says that the tournament for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship is not coincidental and that it is all a big plan, as he is the next WCW World Heavyweight Champion. He tells the fans they can bet all their stock options on that one, as he is the chosen one and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it, including Buff Bagwell and The Total Pacakage. He says that The Total Package had better be ready to apologize, as he did not take out Miss Elizabeth and does not like being acces of anything. If The Total Package has a problem with him, then he should take it up with the new powers that be.

We see Mike Tenay interview Sid Vicious after Halloween Havoc. Sid says his match with Goldberg was a battle, but the war is far from over, and he promises that when Goldberg least expects it, he will be back.

Before the next match, Perry Saturn tells The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman) that if they lay a hand on him, they can kiss Torrie Wilson goodbye. He wants his match to be just him and Eddie. Eddie attacks Saturn from behind to start their match.

Perry Saturn beats Eddie Guerrero with the Rings of Saturn to continue to the nest round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament after David Flair shows up and whacks Eddie with a crowbar. After the match, Saturn flees through the crowd and the rest of The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman) return and chase after him.

Backstage, Kevin Nash tells Scott Hall he has a plan that he calls "the Jim Morrison plan." If they shut the show down, there will be no match, and he will get naked if he has to.

WCW Tuff Talkin' Wrestlers are now available.

Backstage, Shane Douglas tells Torrie Wilson that if The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) think they can mess with The Revolution (Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko), they have another thing coming as they are messing with the wrong people. Malenko heads to the bathroom and is immediately attacked with a steel chair by "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit. Benotit locks the door from the outside so that The Revolution can't get involved as he continues to attack Malenko.

The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) show up. Scott Hall says "the new bosses we got from up north" cannot seem to have a wrestling show without them, and even though they have been partying all night in Las Vegas, they don't miss any parties, especially in Kevin Nash's hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. He then says Nash has a message for all the big shots at TNT. Nash says that nobody tells The Outsiders what to do, and that they have made the rules since they walked into WCW. Before he can go any further, Goldberg shows up in the crowd and says that if The Outsiders want to screw with him and jump him when his back is turned, then he hopes they have eyes in the back of their heads as they are both next.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage and Gorgeous George show up for the first time in months dressed in all-red sequined outfits. Savage says it has been a while, but he and Gorgeous George are in the house. As for all the vultures in the back who hoped he would hang hinmself on national television and make a fool of himself, that is not happening. However, they are right about one thing: he is well-hung. He tells the locker room not to hunt what they cannot kill as they cannot kill him or the madness. He says he cannot be punked out like Hulk Hogan or "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and that he "ain't no punk bitch." He says the yellow and the red has played itself out, and so has Space Mountain, but everybody knows he has game, he is on hit and he is definitely legit. Saage says he has been better than the best for a long period of time, and he has too much money to be punked out. He has won world titles in both WWF and WCW, and tonight is the time that he passes the torch to the next superstar who will go through the millennium and be better than even he was. That person is not only going to win world titles, but have record-breaking ratings. He says WCW needs him, not the other way around, and he and Gorgeous George are leaving the building.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr. Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) find where Torrie Wilson is held, but she and The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) are nowhere to be found.

Medusa is seen backstage saying "I'm sick of this crap" before heading out to the ring.

In a dressing room Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn try to calm Dean Malenko dwon. Doulgas says Benoit will pay and that tonight is the night for Benoit, but Malenko feels differently.

Madusa finds out that her opponent is Meng.

Meng beats Madusa by pinfall with the Tongan Death Grip to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship despite Madusa's best efforts. After the match, Evan Karagias runs in and checks on Madusa, then helps her up and helps her to the back. Suddenly, Dean Malenko shows up with a microphone and calls out "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit, saying that if he thinks he has his attention and wants to even the score from last night, then he is ready. He makes it a little more interesting by challenging Benoit to a Last Man Standing Match, and hopes he accepts.

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) talk about Goldberg, saying they are not afraid of him, and say that whoever they send against them are going to get licked.

Curt Hennig is seen talking to Brad Armstrong in the locker room, and Armstrong tells him he has been told not to come back until he has found a personality.

Backstage, a member of WCW medical checks on Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's foot, which is indeed injured.

The Total Package beats Rick Steiner by count-out to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. Shortly after the match begins, Jeff Jarrett shows up with a guitar in his hand and guests on commentary for the next match, demanding a total apology from The Total Package, saying he has no reason to hit a woman. Tony Schiavone asks Jarrett if he thinks he ell off the turnip truck and mentioned his misogynist gimmick from the WWF. Jarrett responds by saying this is not the WWF, and proceeds to try to apologize to Miss Elizabeth. Both Rick Steiner and The Total Package approach Jarrett, and Jarrett swings his guitar trying to hit The Total Package only for Jarrett to nail Rick Steiner with the guitar. Rick Steiner heads to the back while The Total Package checks on Miss Elizabeth. When he realizes that the ten-count is almost over, he runs into the ring to get the win by count-out, much to the irritation of Miss Elizabeth.

Mike Tenay interviews Kidman and Konnan. Konnan takes the microphone and says he is no mood to talk about anything else after what happened to Torrie Wilson. He then goes to say that it is strictly business between him and Kidman tonight. Kidman tells Tenay that if The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) touches one hair on the head of Torrie Wilson, he will personally end all of their careers.

Buff Bagwell is seen making his way into the building.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit is seen taping his fists up for his Last Man Standing Match with Dean Malenko in the locker room.

Kidman beats Konnan to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament. During the match, Kidman runs into referee Billy Silverman, then Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) run in and beat both Kidman and Konnan up. Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio Jr. run in as Harlem Heat try to leave, and they brawl with Harlem Heat. Kidman rolls over to Konnan and pins him. After the match, Kidman and Konnan have to be separated by Rey and Eddie, and Eddie has to tell them that the fight is out there, not within The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey, Kidman, Eddie). Konnan gets his priorities straight and tells Kidman that they have to find Torrie and tells Harlem Heat that they have to be crazy to run up on them. He dares Harlem Heat to put the WCW World Tag Team Championshpis on the line tonight.

Buff Bagwell is seen heading towards the ring.

Backstage, The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) try to ponder who they will be up against in their match tonight.

Buff Bagwell shows up. He says the reason he is here tonight is to break all the rules. Buff says he will take every little thing that has been sacred in the business and relieve himself all over it, and that he will not do a "job" for anybody ever again. Buff says he lays down for anyone, and if you mess with Buff, you get the stuff. Nobody is telling him what to do ever again, especially "the two idiots in the back writing this crap." ALl of a sudden, two bald men in black suits wearing sunglasses show up, and they are more or less identical twins. They say they represent "the two idiots in the back writing this crap," then proceed to assault Buff.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit barely beats Dean Malenko in a Last Man Standing Match. After the match, The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) run into the ring, and Benoit steps out of their way so they can attack Malenko. Shane Douglas shows up with Perry Saturn, Torrie Wilson and Asya, asking The Filthy Animals if they are looking for somebody, then they had better take stand their ground and not take another step. Douglas tells them to take a step back and lay off Malenko or else Asya will take Torrie out. Malenko is allowed to head back to the stage where The Revolution (Douglas, Malenko, Saturn) is, and Douglas tells them to stay where they are if they want Torrie back. The Filthy Animals start to chase after them, but Douglas tells them to stay there. Neverthleess, they cahse after them anyway.

The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn) and Asya escape with Torrie Wilson in a Cadillac. The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio Jr., Kidman, Eddie Guerrero) try to chase after them, but they are too fast. Eddie tells Kidman and Konnan to get the WCW World Tag Team Championships from Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) while he and Rey get Torrie back. Rey and Eddie get in a Cadillac of their own and chase after The Revolution.

Sting beats Brian Knobbs in mere seconds by hitting him with his baseball bat behind referee Nick Patrick's back to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the short match, it is announced that Sting has been fined $10,000 for his attack on referee Charles Robinson at Halloween Havoc.

Mike Tenay interviews Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who has a hairline fracture on his ankle. Bret says if it were not for bad luck, he would not have luck at all, and while he is frustrated with his injury, he is not a quitter, and even though he has a small ray of hope, he will take any chance he gets to become WCW World Heavyweight Champion, even if he has to face Goldberg and suffer the consequences for it tonight. He plans to give Goldberg a fight he will never forget, and hope that he can get from one match to the next to become World champion like he has always wanted.

The Filthy Animals (Konnan and Kidman) beat Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) to become the WCW World Tag Team Championships just 24 hours after Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. lost the belts to them, ending Harlem Heat's record-setting tenth tag title reign after one day. This happens after Kidman and Stevie Ray have their shoulders down and Kidman bridged his shoulders up at the last second.

Mike Tenay interviews Goldberg. Goldberg says rage and brutality has always been inside him, but it took a man like Sid Vicious to bring it out. As far as Bret "The Hit Man" Hart goes, he has all the respect in the world for him, but he does not fear him. He knows he is going into their match at less than 100%, but in his eyes, that makes him a little more dangerous. As for The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) he doesn't make threats, he makes promises, and they are next.

Kimberly introduces Diamond Dallas Page before the next match. DDP then tells David Flair to get his "rat bastard booty" out to the ring so he can beat him like he did "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. When David Flair shows up, DDP kisses him, then David takes off his robe and pulls out a crowbar from behind his pants and attacks DDP, knocking him into Kimberly who in turn knocks down referee Charles Robinson. After a few more strikes with the crowbar, David Flair leaves. EMTs have to come to the ring and put DDP on a stretcher and take him to the back. Neither DDP or David Flair continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament.

The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) are in the ring with two female wrestlers. The match ends up being a complete farce, with one of the women shoving Hall's face in her breasts and spanking him before tagging the other woman in. The other woman is not even dressed for a wrestling match, and Hall tags Nash in before a third woman with giant breasts shows up and tells him to lay down so that the two women can make the pin. Kevin lays down in the middle of the ring, as does Hall, and the women win. The woman with the huge bust teases exposing her breasts, but Goldberg runs in to the ring before that can happen and he hits Hall with a Spear before doing the same to Nash.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Goldberg to continue to the next round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament and become the WCW United States Heavyweight Champion for the fourth time. During the match, Goldberg sends Bret into referee Mickey Jay with a snap mare takeover, then The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and Sid Vicious attack Goldberg after Goldberg tosses Bret out of the ring. The beatdown ends with Sid Vicious powerbombing Goldberg, and Hart slowly rolls back into the ring to pin Goldberg, giving Goldberg his second loss, continue in the tournament and win the United States title.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 25, 1999

RAW

The show starts with The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) demanding WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to put them in a match against The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Vince tells them that Edge and Christian have a title shot tonight, but they want them out of the match and want in tonight's title match. Nevertheless, they ask for two other opponents tonight. Mankind and The Rock are out due to Mankind challenging Triple H for the WWF Championship tonight. Triple H storms in and confronts Vince over tonight's title match, and The New Age Outlaws say Triple H is scared. Triple H tells them to shut up, and in an attempt to make them shut up after Road Dogg says he isn't shutting up, Triple H proposes that The New Age Outlaws face The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, since Austin is nowhere on tonight's show. The New Age Outlaws are up to the challenge, and Vince tells them they've got it.

The Godfather looks for his hos backstage, thinking they are with "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. He finds Mark, telling him it time to go to work, and has to kick the door open to get him and the hos to come to the ring, telling Henry he can't have the hos 24/7.

Before the next match, Viscera says that while Mideon likes farm animals, he likes - and wants - The Godfather's hos, and proposes a "winner takes all" match. Viscera then tells "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry that when he wins the match with him, he can have them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Viscera beats The Godfather to get all the hos after "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry drags The Godfather to the floor from behind in the corner. Mideon gets ejected from the match early on by referee Tim White for getting on the apron and choking The Godfather from behind in the corner. After the match, Mark Henry hits The Godfather with a splash. Viscera and Mark Henry then command the hos to go to the back. Meanwhile, a few hos are still in the ring checking on The Godfather, and Viscera commands them to go to the back. When they refuse, one of them gets kicked to the mat and splashed along with The Godfather, then the other one leaps on Viscera to put him in a sleeper hold only to be pushed off and slammed into the canvas. EMTs have to check on the two remaining hos

Michael Cole interviews The Rock. For the last two weeks, he and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin have been playing oneupsmanship, and that he has sent chill bumps up Austin's arms. At Survivor Series, they will both face Triple H in a Triple Threat Match one more time for the WWF Championship. Tonight, however, Austin is his tag team partner, and they have to put everything outside and face The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). He has no problem with this, but since he is in "The People's Ring," he will be surrounded by the millions of his fans as they will let The Rock know he will forever be The People's Champ.

As The Godfather and his two loyal hos are in the ambulance, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) laugh about it, but Buh Buh Ray says it will not be as funny as what he will do to Kane tonight.

The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) vs Edge and Christian for the WWF Tag Team Championships ends when two men dressed like rappers show up and attack Edge and Christian. The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Terri Runnels are seen watching the match on a monitor backstage. The two "rappers" are identified as Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) after The Hardy Boyz show up and attack Too Much, helping Edge and Christian get them out of the ring.

Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah are seen making up with each other backstage.

A steel cage can be seen hanging above the ring. Michael Cole interviews Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah in the ring. Mae Young thanks Moolah for being the oldest person she has ever wrestled, and says that this is not a slight against her. Moolah thanks all the fans who have supported her; however, at her age, she cannot defend the WWF Women's Championship as it should be defended. She will give the WWF Women's Championship back and officially retire. Suddenly, Ivory shows up with a broom in her room, and says there are two witches in the room before telling Moolah she found her ride in the handicapped spot and proceeds to raise the broom up. Ivory reminds Moolah that she has a rematch clause, and Mae Young confronts Ivory only to be kicked in the gut before having the broom broken on her back. Moolah fights Ivory, and this starts a match.

Ivory beats The Fabulous Moolah to become the WWF Women's Champion. After the match, Ivory pushes Mae Young off the apron and stomps her a few times.

Prince Albert is seen talking to Big Show, and challenges him to a match to see how bad he really is, and reminds him that he is not The Big Boss Man.

WWF 3-D Attitude...coming November 23rd! (The advertisement is for a 3D edition of WWF Magazine.)

Survivor Series will be live on pay-per-view on November 14th!

Big Show vs. Prince Albert ends in a no-contest. During the match, The Big Boss Man shows up and tells Big Show that he has something that belongs to him, his father and his father's father. Last night, he made a trip to the hospital to see how badly his father was doing, and says the stench of death was in the air. All he saw in the bed was a puny old man waiting to die, and he pulled the plug on him. Before he left, he saw him clutching a pocket watch in his hand, and he took it. As he talks, he threatens to destroy the watch if Big Show ges any closer. Prince Albert attacks Big Show from behind, then Big Boss Man hits Big Show in the head with a hammer. He then proceeds to destory the pocket watch with a hammer on an anvil brought in by two stage hands.

Chris Jericho says he feels horrible for Big Show, but he feels worse for Chyna as he will expose her as a cowardly disgrace of a champion who has no more right to be in the ring with him than a common fan. He tells Chyna to bring D'Lo Brown out as her tag team partner, and he will bring a common fan into the ring, and they will embarrass her and prove she will never be in the same league as him.

Backstage, Big Show hunts down The Big Boss Man.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho picks a female fan out of the audience, but this person looks suspiciously like a man in woman's clothing.

Chyna and D-Lo Brown beats Chris Jericho and the random female fan, who is revealed to be none other than Stevie Richards dressed as a woman as Chyna beats him up. After the match, Jericho beats up Stevie Richards with two powerbombs followed by the Walls of Jericho.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is reading Mankind's autobiography when Mankind shows up and thanks him for the shot at the WWF Championship. When Vince asks him about his facial expressions - save for "the bobbing Adam's apple at the time of fear" - being the best in the business, Mankind tells Vince that he makes it happen, as his own face is covered up most of the time.

WAR ZONE

Mankind beats Triple H by disqualification. The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin are seen watching the match on a monitor backstage in separate areas. Later on in the match, Triple H grabs a steel chair, but Mankind kicks into his face as he runs towards him in the corner. As Triple H and referee Mike Chioda play tug-of-war with the chair, Mankind grabs the WWF Championship. Chioda takes the steel chair away, but Mankind hits Triple H with the WWF Championship behind Chioda's back. After a near-fall, Mankind locks in the Mandible Claw, but Val Venis runs in with a steelc chair and hits Mankind in the back with it, ending the match. Al Snow runs in, and he and Mankind take Venis down. Triple H retains the WWF Championship.

Michael Cole interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin says nobody sends chill bumps down his arms, and that he and The Rock will be facing Triple H for the WWF Championship in a Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series. As far as tonight goes, he has no problems, but he is not friends with The Rock and he will slap The People's Eyebrow off of him if he does not do his part.

Michael Hayes interviews WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon, who announces that she is nearly 100% and is starting to get a lot of her memories and feelings for Test back. She hopes that Test beats an apology out of The British Bulldog as Test is seen talking with WWF co-owner Shane McMahon.

Kevin Kelly interviews Kane and X-Pac. Kane says that Tori told him not to make fun of Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and as he almost mocks Buh Buh Ray's speech impediment before reaching for his autolarynx, he tells X-Pac to promise him he will stay out of the match no matter what. X-Pac tells him that if he wants to do this himself, he understands more than anybody. All of a sudden, Kane and X-Pac are assaulted by The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley).

Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up with Kane's autolarynx. Buh Buh Ray proceeds to mock how Kane's speech patterns before bragging about stealing the autolarynx. D-Von Dudley says Kane should have learned not to mess with them early on.

Kane beats Buh Buh Ray Dudley by disqualification after D-Von Dudley interferes. X-Pac is seen watching the match on a monitor backstage. After the match, X-Pac stands by as Kane is double-teamed, and Tori tells him to get out there and help Kane, as he is his best friend. Tori also tells him that if he does not get out there, she will. X-Pac runs to the ring after a double team.

Kevin Kelly interviews The British Bulldog. Bulldog finds it funny that WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is regaining her memory, as Test won't be able to remember anything after he gets through smashing his head into the steel cage over and over again.

The British Bulldog vs. Test in a Steel Cage Match ends in a no-contest. As Test climbs to the top of the cage, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) climb over the guardrail and cut the lock to the cage door with bolt cutters. After Test hits Bulldog with an elbow from the top of the cage, The Posse go on the attack, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon fights The Posse off single-handedly. Bulldog gets out of the cage as Test lays in the corner and The Posse continue to attack Shane. Rodney and Pete Gas are able to leave the cage, but Test grabs Joey Cage and boots him in the face before tossing him out. The Posse then slam the cage dooro nthe skull of Test, then limp away to the back. Afterwards, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon shows up and checks on Shane.

Triple H and The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) argue with each other at the locker room entrance. Meanwhile, The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) head to "The Friendly Tap" for a beer. All of a sudden, two men recognize them and offer to buy them a drink, but they refuse to take no for an answer and one of them challenges them to an arm wrestling match. After some money is laid on the table, the challenge is accepted and Bradshaw wins immediately. The other guy accuses them of cheating, and calls Faarooq a "darkie," saying he can't count right and that "he's a good boy." The two locals continue to be racist towards Faarooq, and this starts a nasty bar room brawl where The Acolytes come out on top after they annihilate not only the two locals but anyone else who wants to step up. The Acolytes leave as the manager calls 911. (The Friendly Tap is a bar owned by referee Tim White, who is proprietor of the bar at the time and would be for years.)

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. During the match, Triple H runs in, but Austin notices him and keeps him out of the ring, and brawls with him to the stage, leaving The Rock without a tag team partner. As The Rock fights off The Outlaws on his own, X-Pac runs into the ring and hits The Rock with a spinning heel kick and allowing The New Age Outlaws the win. After the match, Austin runs back into the ring, and Triple H goes in after him. Triple H, X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws then outnumber Austin and The Rock and take the boots to them. All four men then put on D-Generation X jerseys and celebrate, as D-Generation X has now gotten back together.
