Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling presented by PRO Shingle recap for August 10, 2019

The show starts with a tribute to Harley Race.

David Marquez introduces Eli Drake to the ring. Eli Drake talks about his history in Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, how he was the first ever Heritage Championship and how he was managed by Percy Pringle III, then says he has come home. He says he heard "The Cowboy" James Storm mention him after being in NWA for a short while, then tells Storm that he doesn't need to bark up his tree and that Storm is like a Roomba: he keeps going until he hits a wall, and the rest of the time, he sucks. He them mentions that he has one mission since entering NWA, his one goal is to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and then tells everyone not to blink on him as he will eventually win the title.

Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend) beat Ray Rosas and Jordan Clearwater following some miscommunication between Rosas and Clearwater. After the match, Reno Scum accept The Rocknes Monsters' (YUMA and BHK) challenge to a steel cage match.

Robert Baines beats Aguila.

Backstage, John Roberts interviews Howdy Price, who looks forward to having Rogelio win gold from whoever he can get it from.

Ty Matthews beats Caleb Perez. After the match, Kathy Campanelli interviews Ty Matthews, who says the person he has his eye on as a protege is not only in the building, but is sitting nearby, and all he has to do is take in the teachings of Hyperoptimism and be well.

Adrian Quest vs. "Uptown" Andy Brown for the CWFH Heritage Championship is suddenly postponed by Nikko Marquez, who suddenly shows up as the match gets going. Nikko Marquez says he does not like Andy Brown and Adrian Quest - even though he likes the CWFH Heritage Championship - and that he has a very special guest and a very special match right after the commercial break. During the break, Andy Brown almost takes his frustrations out on Nikko Marquez on his way to the back, but he is stopped by two referees before he can do so.

"The Cowboy" James Storm shows up. He has noticed that Eli Drake, Nick Aldis and some of the very best have been here, and he had to see Championship Wrestling From Hollywood for himself. Storm says he has looked up and down the roster for anyone who could headline anywhere, and he has hand-picked an opponent for a title defense that he sees as one of the very best up-and-comers in pro wrestling right now: Piranacanrana (formerly Pirana).

"The Cowboy" James Storm retains the NWA National Heavyweight Championship against Piranacanrana. After the match, Storm tells everyone to take notice, for he is back in the game.

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling presented by PRO Shingle recap for July 20, 2019

Jordan Clearwater beats Hypr with a jackknife pin. Both men shake hands and show respect after the match.

Kathy Campanelli interviews Robert Baines, who says that Royce Isaacs was a decent champion, but if Isaac's "good streak" continues, then he is sure of his own chances. He states that Isaacs cannot beat him by himself, for he is a force of science and Isaacs will need all the help he can get.

The Friendship Farm (Gentleman Jervis and "Sweet" Robin Shaw) beat Jayme Beachler and Vinny Wasco.

Watts beats Aguila. After the match, John Roberts interviews Watts at ringside. Watts says every single person in the Red Carpet Rumble is next, and that no one is safe.

Backstage, John Roberts interviews Jamie Iovine and Royce Isaacs. Iovine says the fans are so fickle that they boo Isaacs no matter what they do, but they are here to take back the Television title, not to win a popularity contest. He says that they must go through Robert Baines to get to Scorpio Sky. Isaacs says he wants Scorpio Sky, whom he considers an unwanted guest, at his best so talent can sort out who is better.

Bateman beats Rogelio.

Next week: Adrian Quest and "Uptown" Andy Brown vs. The Rocknes Monsters (YUMA and BHK)! The Rocknes Monsters speak about their attack at the hands of Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend)!

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling Presented By PRO Shingle recap for July 13, 2019

Gentleman Jervis and "Sweet" Robin Shaw beats LJ Ramos and Aguila. (It is later revealed that Super Beetle is injured and was unable to compete in this match.)

Ty Matthews beats Pirana. After the match, Matthews says that time cannot be stopped, and after what he's done for Watts and Dicky Mayer, he has his eyes on somebody new who is here in the building right now and is wanting his guidance after being unsatisfied with their position in life.

Before the next match, Halston Boddy and Heather Monroe host the first episode of "The Boddy Shop." Monroe is the guest for the inaugural edition. Boddy says he could go on forever about how talented and dominant Heather Monroe is in CWFH, but he lets her do the honors. Heather Monroe says she asked Christy Janes to come back for a rematch, but she was too scared and couldn't come, so Simone Sherie gets a second chance. The next match then begins.

Heather Monroe beats Simone Sherie with a roll-up. After the match, Halston Boddy says that he and Heather Monroe have decided to have a third match right now.

Simone Sherie beats Heather Monroe after Monroe goes for a Michinoku Driver only for Simone Sherie to reverse it into an inside cradle for the surprise victory. Halston Boddy gets upset and calls the first two matches "practice matches" and makes it best two-out-of-three while guaranteeing that Simone Sherie will lose.

Simone Sherie beats Heather Monroe a second time with a top rope frog splash.

Backstage, Bateman says Rogelio can have whoever he wants at ringside, then admits that his real focus is on Scorpio Sky. He also states that Sarah Wolfe has been indefinitely suspended by Nikko Marquez after Bateman's threats to thumb his eye out and Sarah Wolfe's escape from The Upper Class at Coastline Clash.

Backstage, Howdy Price says he has a tiny violin ready for Bateman, then says he is no stranger to losing things and having to charge onward, as he and Rogelio will send Bateman packing.

R-Three beats Ray Rosas.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 9, 1998

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman beat Faarooq and "The Rock" Rocky Maivia by disqualification when the rest of The Nation of Domination (D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) interfere. After the match, The Rock tells the rest of The Nation he wants a piece of Shamock, and Faarooq lets The Rock have him. Shamrock starts fighting back, however, and even when Shamrock has The Rock in the ankle lock, the rest of The Nation refuse to intervene as Faarooq refuses to let them do so. Referees and officials eventually have to restore order. (During the match, technical difficulties in the form of static in the feed occasionally pop up, and continue to do so at intermittent periods during the show.)

A camera crew is trained at the back of the arena for the arrival of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna) - without "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels - shows up and welcomes the crowd to another episode of their "pre-WrestleMania showdown." Triple H talks about how Chyna got into Owen Hart's head, and this week, she might just take it to a physical level if she wants to. Triple H says Shawn cannot make it tonight, and shows footage of last week's attack on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. We then see Shawn Michaels on the TitanTron, and see that he is in a restaurant due to prior commitment. He brags about getting "Iron" Mike Tyson on their side, and said he did what he told the world he was going to do when he attacked Austin last week. He says that Austin is like everyone else, having failed to show him anything new and is nothing more than a fad while he will continue to be WWF Champion. Triple H then says he has two words for everybody: "Suck it." He and Chyna then make guest on commentary, with Kevin Kelly making way for Triple H on the table.

Before the next match, Owen Hart confronts "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

Barry Windham beats Owen Hart by count-out after Jim Cornette distracts the referee and Chyna hits Owen Hart with a low blow. After the match, Bradshaw goes after Barry Windham while "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna run to the back. During the match, Owen Hart accidentally rolls his right ankle while stepping off the second rope.

"Marvelous" Marc Mero handcuffs himself to Sable as Sable asks the referee if he will be the only one with the key.

Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews Paul Bearer, who is in the back with Kane. Bearer is in no mood to talk about The Undertaker; instead, he wants to talk about how Kane manhandled Vader last month. As he continues to talk to Bearer, boxes near Kane, Bearer and Lawler continue to open and close on their own. Bearer and Lalwer run away, while Kane just stares at the boxes.

Kevin Kelly, now back on commentary, says he has talked to the people in the production truck, and reveals that they have told him that tonight's techinical difficulties are not on their end and cannot explain what is going on.

Aguila - who is mentioned on commentary as suffering from dehydration - beats "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher after Jerry "The King" Lawler is caught pushing Aguila off the top rope by the referee, after having a brawl with Taka Michinoku, who confronts him for trying to distract the referee. During the match, the lights dim in and out and sounds of what seem like thunder can be heard, briefly spooking Jerry "The King" Lawler. Taka Michinoku drop kicks Lawler out of the ring, and when Lawler and Christopher make their way, the thunder can be heard and the light dim in and out again, and the two of them run to the back.

We see Andre The Giant win a battle royal at WrestleMania 2 as part of the M&Ms Millenium Moment.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is finally in the building, and he makes his way to the ring. Austin says he's seen the footage of WWF owner Vince McMahon calling "Iron" Mike Tyson "unquestionably the baddest man on the planet" last week and it's gotten him a little pissed off. After replaying the footage, he calls that a slap in his face, and asks the audience to give him a "hell yeah" if they think it's an insult. Austin threatens to sit in the ring for the rest of the show until Vince McMahon shows up and they straighten out the matter. Austin asks for a cold beer, and says he's not gong anywhere. Instead of Vince, he gets Jack Lanza and Gerald Brisco, and Austin dares them to get in the ring. When they refuse, he tells them to bring out Vince McMahon. Austin continues to wait for Vince, then WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up. Austin tells Slaughter to bring Vince out, and we see Vince backstage. He then gives Vince 30 seconds before he beats Slaughter's ass before doing the same to Vince. We see Vince backstage, with Gerald Briscoe telling him to get in the ring as he is the only person Austin will listen to.

After the commerical break, Pat Patterson shows up with security. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is unimpressed with Patterson's efforts to reason with him, and Austin dares Patterson to get in the ring. The security men play it smart and leave, while Patterson asks them what is wrong with them while he reluctantly follows them. Vince finally shows up with numerous WWF officials. Austin calls Vince out for insulting him and following "Iron" Mike Tyson around. When Vince tries to get in the ring, Austin dares him to get in. He says that Vince has jerked the carpet out from under him and insulted him for the last time, and tells Vince to call him the world's toughest S.O.B. before accusing Vince of trying to provoke him. Vince says it was a figure of speech, but Austin says he has one for him: the middle finger. Austin says Vince doesn't want to see him as the WWF Champion, and tells him to give him a "hell yeah" if he does. Vince refuses to do so, and Austin gives Vince the first shot at him because if he had it, he'd lay him out on the ring. Vince refuses to hit him, and even after he rips his suit jacket, he still refuses. Austin gives him ten seconds to either hit him or leave, and asks for a "hell yeah" if the crowd wants to see him lay Vince out. Vince leaves along with the officials, and Austin says that he will lay "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley out in the middle of the ring. He knows that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels isn't here tonight, but the next time he sees him, he will kick him down until he takes the WWF Championship.

Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie beat The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre). During the match, it is announced that the NWA Tag Team title match will not happen tonight due to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin holding the show hostage, and that the match will take place this weekend on Superstars. After the match, "Road Dog" Jesse James - now with his arm in a cast - shows up and says that if the dumpster ride was fun, they should wait until WrestleMania. He says he could fight them if he was healthy, but he's not at 100% and can't swing a chair at 90 miles per hour. He says Chainsaw Charlie isn't at 100% either, and dares him to come at him to "get some of what he can't." As Cactus Jack slowly chases Jesse James to the back, "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn comes out of the crowd and hits Terry Funk in the back with a chair. James and Gunn make fun of them, and Gunn tells Cactus Jack not to leave Chainsaw Charlie's side again.

Kane and Paul Bearer show up. Bearer says The Undertaker made a mistake coming back, and the more he thinks about it, the madder he gets. Bearer says he and Kane did The Undertaker a favor by sending him back to the dark side alongside with his parents, but now that The Undertaker is back, Kane has only just begun and The Undertaker has stepped back into an inferno. Suddenly, the lights dim in and out. The Undertaker appears, then the lights go out again. When they come back on, he disappears. Bearer then says that at WrestleMania, The Undertaker will face Kane in the eyes and be sent back to the dark side, never to return.

Raw airs next Tuesday night as a special St. Patrick's Day edition!

Luna Vachon and Sable are handcuffed to separate ring posts before the next match.

"Marvelous" Marc Mero vs. The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust ends in a no-decision. During the match, it is confirmed that "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley will be allowed security on the way to the ring for his match. Also during the match, Goldust sends Mero into referee Mike Chioda. After a Curtain Call to Mero, he hits Mike Chioda with the leg drop before taking the handcuff key from his pocket. He teases freeing Sable from the handcuffs, but frees Luna Vachon instead and sics her on Sable. Luna then forces make-up onto Sable's face, and referees have to get Luna off Sable as Luna splashes a cup of water into Sable's face. Sable is then freed from the handcuffs, and referees - and Mero - have to hold Sable back to keep her from going after Luna.

The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust is tired of holding Luna Vachon back, and says it's time for Luna to get a piece of Sable's ass. He challenges "Marvelous" Marc Mero and Sable to a mixed tag match. Luna says she would turn Sable's face in her canvas, and she did. She then says Mero and Sable can have the whole enchilada, and that she and Goldust will soon be the vandals on their mind.

We see a video package of the events between "Iron" Mike Tyson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna). Jim Ross interviews "Iron" Mike Tyson says being at Royal Rumble was like a dream come true, but never showed up on WWF programming as he was skeptical as to how he would be treated. During his first meeting with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he says that Austin disrespected and that he will not take that from anybody. He doesn't care about being a fair, impartial enforcer at WrestleMania 14, and the only thing that is "fair" to him is winning.

"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley makes his way to the ring, flanked by Chyna and three referees. The referees are positioned at the bottom of the entrance ramp to watch for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Other officials including WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, as well as Miguel Perez, Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada Jr. also position themselves around the ring. It isn't long before Austin shows up as Triple H faces Savio Vega, and as Austin hits everyone with Stone Cold Stunners, "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels comes out through the crowd and hits Austin with Sweet Chin Music. The show cuts off just before he tries to injure Austin's knee with a steel chair.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 1, 1997

"Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn dedicate their victory and the next interview to The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk), who they say aren't in the building tonight as they are at home licking their wounds from being whipped like unruly children. Road Dog says the Smithsonian Institute has contacted him about obtaining a piece of wrestling history, and has shipped them a pair of Road Warrior shoulder pads as they are indeed wrestling history. This Sunday, he and Bad Ass have a rematch with The Legion of Doom, but say that Animal and Hawk won't get the gold back as they are here to stay with them. Billy Gunn then announces that tonight, he and Road Dog will have a non-title match, and the only thing that they are afraid of is actually breaking a sweat. All of a sudden, The Legion of Doom, in street clothes sans make-up, come out of the crowd and attack Road Dog and Billy Gunn, forcing them to retreat and making it known that Road Dog and Billy Gunn can't beat them, and that they will be lucky to make it through tonight as they will make sure they don't leave the building tonight with the tag team titles.

Sable is guest ring announcer for the next match.

Taka Michinoku beats Aguila to continue to the finals of the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament.

Before the next match, Luna Vachon drags Goldust to the stage. Goldust now has red hair, yellow and black face paint, a ball gag in his mouth, a green sleeveless bodysuit, a steel grey bikini top with spikes on the cups, black spikes on the shoulders and no shoes of any kind. Luna says she is "the original bitch" and that the bitch is back. She says that Goldust was a prisoner of his life since he was a child, first to Dusty Rhodes (whom she calls "an overbearing, overweight father") and then to Marlena (a petite, scum-sucking gold digger.") She has brought the key to set him free from his living hell, and declares him "The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust" before He says he will never be the same again. There will be no rules and no boundaries, but there will be whips and chains. As , Luna Vachon says that Vader will learn that pain and pleasure go together and that before the torture is over on Sunday, Vader will drag Goldust's chain. Luna then removes the ball gag on Goldust before making out in the ring.

Jerry "The King" Lawler beats "El Matador" Tito Santata to continue on to next week's championship match of the 1998 Karate Fighters Tournament, where he will take on Sunny.

A Four Corners match between Recon, D'Lo Brown, Chainz and Miguel Perez ends when The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball), Los Boricuas (Savio Vega, Jesus Castillo, Jose Estrada Jr.), The Truth Commission (Sniper and The Interrogator) and The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) all jump in and turn the match into an all-out war. The Jackyl briefly guests on commentary during the brawl to scout for new recruits for The Truth Commission as well as to stay out of the brawl.

D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna) show up. Triple H wheels Shawn to the stage, and Shawn says that DX shows the world that no matter how many millions of dollars people want to throw around, they are always one step ahead of the pack. They showed Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart that they can play anyone for a sucker, and tonight, Triple H gets to finish the job. Triple H says that in the back, Neidhart is known as "The White Rhino" and he knows rhinos are stupid, but he can't believe Neidhart is the biggest idiot he's ever seen. He gives Neidhart advice: don't think about what he'll do without his family, as nothing good can come of it. In just a little while, he will take all his decision-making ability away from him, and make the decision for him. He then tells WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to make the match against him next Sunday any kind of match he wants, because he will bring all the heavy artillery he has and will take him out for good. He is, however, saving something for his wife: the big bazooka. Shawn then says that he is in a wheelchair because of the rigorous training Chyna has been putting him through, and says that the leg exercises come with a positive. He knows that "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock lives and dies by the ankle lock, and his pain tolerance is now at an all-time high. Without the ankle lock, Shamrock doesn't have a chance, and he then asks Triple H to show the pain tolerance that he has now. Triple H then twists Shawn's left ankle, and twists it 900 degrees, and the foot rotates in ways it shouldn't as he does. Shawn then says that DX always has a leg up on the competition, then Triple H moves the leg upwards. Strangely enough, the leg stays in that position.

We see the closing of Survivor Series as it is announced that it will be revealed what happened.

The introduction for War Zone plays to signal the start of the second hour.

Before the next match, Rocky Maivia makes it clear that the next match is a non-title match. When the match begins, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin drives his black "Austin 3:16" pick-up truck into the arena and starts drinking beer on the roof as AC/DC's "Back in Black" and "You Shook Me (All Night Long)" is blaring out of the stereo. Rocky Maivia runs away, but Kama Mustafa, Faarooq and D'Lo Brown get him back in the ring for his match against Vader.

Rocy Maivia beats Vader by count-out after the rest of The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa) distracts the referee and Goldust attacks Vader outside of the ring. Vader chases after Goldust and Luna Vachon, leaving "The Rock" to focus on Austin, who flips the Nation off from the top of the truck.

We see a video package of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.

Scott Taylor is in the ring for this WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament semi-finals match against "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher when Kane and Paul Bearer show up. Taylor fights Kane off, but Kane hits him with the choke slam and the Tombstone Piledriver. Paul Bearer tells The Undertaker that he hopes he is happy as all the carnage at Kane's hands is his fault, and that it will continue until he does what he has to do. He tells The Undertaker that his life is already a living hell. "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher continues to the finals of the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament by default and will face Taka Michinoku this Sunday at In Your House: D-Generation X.

Before the next match, it is announced that Ahmed Johnson's rental car rolled over in Hampton, Virginia eight days ago and that Ahmed Johnson is not seriously hurt. Jeff Jarrett says that his wrestling debut will not happen tonight, saying that WWF is continuing to drop the ball by not knowing how to promote him, and if they can't do it right, he will have to take matters into his own hands. Last week, not one stipulation considering his dressing room was met. This week, Ahmed Johnson - one of the reasons he left two years ago - is in the ring, and he refuses to face him, saying Ahmed is not even on his level and that he would submit to the Figure Four Leg Lock in minutes. He says he is not wrestling tonight, and Ahmed can tell Vince McMahon that. Ahmed tells Jarrett "I guess you are chicken shit," and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up to take the microphone from Jarrett and tells him that he does not have to wrestle tonight after a review of his contract. He will, however, have to wrestle at In Your House: D-Generation X, as Slaughter has found a top-level talent for him that night, and that he must wrestle or else he will be suspended indefinitely. Jarrett's opponent will be none other than The Undertaker, and Jarrett does not like the sound of that.

Before the next match, "Road Dog" Jesse James tells The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) that the last time they met, they wore a boombox as a hat. This time, they're just going to slap them around.

"Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) by disqualification after being attacked by The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk). They run out of the arena with the tag team titles, and The Headbangers almost go at it with The Legion of Doom.

Jim Cornette interviews Marc Mero and Sable in the ring. When told that Sable is getting more of a fan response than he is, Mero asks Sable if he has done anything than he has, and says that the fans have failed to realize his athletic ability and see his rugged good looks and chiseled body because they were chanting for Sable. The chants for Sable grow louder as Mero says he's the star and that Sable would be nothing without him and will be nothing when he kicks her to the curb. He says that Sable belongs to him and is his property. At In Your House: D-Generation X, he will make quick work of "Butterbean" Eric Esch. He then asks Sable to disrobe him so he can show a little exhibition, which she does. She then holds up the handmitts, which feature the side and back of Butterbean's head. She holds them up, and Mero punches them until one of them falls off her hands, and Mero tells her to pick it up. Mero says that for seven months, he sat in rehab wile Sable used the WWF ramp as her personal catwalk to model shirts such as the "Austin 3:16" shirt, and says "Stone Cold" Steve Austin owes him some money for that. He says that Sable should have been modeling Marc Mero wares, and that she has abandoned him. Mero calls Sable useless, and says he's sick of looking at her. He then tells her to get out of the ring, which she reluctantly does. Mero then tells Butterbean that he hasn't been in the ring with a real boxer yet, and that he is the greatest wrestler-boxer in the world. Mero plans to knock Butterbean out just like he will to anyone who stares at "his property."

We see footage from Survivor Series after the WWF Championship match between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. We see Bret spit in Vince McMahon's face, and the footage of Bret never tapping is also shown.

"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart after Chyna distracts the referee and "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels grabs Neidhart, allowing Triple H to hit Neidhart in the back with a steel chair. After the match, Shawn and Triple H attack Neidhart, and after a Pedigree to Neidhart on a steel chair, they pull down the upper half of his wrestling gear so Shawn can take a can of black spray paint and spray paint the letters "WCW" on Neidhart's back. Neidhart gets back up and clotheslines Shawn and Triple H, but Chyna forearms Neidhart and the Chyna, Shawn and Triple H handcuff Neidhart to the top rope. Neidhart tries to fight back with only one arm, and when WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter tries to stop this, he gets knocked down. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" then shows up and goes to town, putting Shawn in the ankle lock while Sgt. Slaughter comes back to and puts the Cobra Clutch on Triple H and Neidhart holds Chyna back with one hand.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 3, 1997

The show starts with Vince McMahon interviewing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the ring. When you do to Austin what Owen Hart did, it really pisses him off, and his match against Owen will not be a wrestling match; instead, it will be payback, as when he gets dropped on head and paralyzed, somebody's getting their ass whipped. On the subject of ticking everyone in the WWF off, everyone's pissed him off, as he wants not only the Intercontinental Championship but also Owen's ass, and says The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) and Ahmed Johnson were both at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that when somebody sticks their head in the ring with him - or when he sticks his head in the ring with somebody - somebody's getting their ass whipped, plain and simple. Ahmed Johnson shows up, surrounded by referees who try to keep him from getting in the ring with Austin. Ahmed says that he respected Austin up until last week, but after that, he crossed his end zone. He promises to kick Austin's ass if it's the last thing he does, and challenges him to a match tonight. Steve Austin asks the crowd to give him a "Hell Yeah" if they want to see Ahmed get his ass kicked, then says he'll be happy to beat the hell out of him on live television.

Sunny is special guest ring announcer for the next match, and "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher guests on commentary.

Aguila beats Super Crazy ton continue to the semi-finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament. During the match, it is announced that WWF President Gorilla Monsoon is feeling better after his stay in the hospital.

During the weekend, Jim Ross interviewed Dustin (Goldust) and Terri Runnels (Marlena). Terri says it was very hard being with Brian Pillman, with the hardest part being away from her two daughters and Goldust, and says it's great to have a relationship with her husband and be part of a family again. Life throws out so much ugly things, and family is always the first thing she runs to. She mentions that Dakota is in pre-school, and while she isn't a big fan of it, she loves being with her mom and is glad to have her home, and Terri has to tell her she went on a long vacation as that is the only way she can explain to Dakota what happened to her. Dustin suddenly says "I can't do this anymore," and says that everything coming out of her mouth sickens him. For so long, he has lived for his father and for her, and when he was interviewed about his father Dusty Rhodes, it made him cry because Dusty made his life a miserable wreck. He then says that for the last seven years he has spent with Terri, he has been treated like a puppy dog and that she scorns him when he doesn't do anything to her liking. He is sick of Terri disciplining him and keeping him from being himself, and says Terri knows nothing about his life. He says he is tired of living for her and her father, and when Terri was away, he reached out and found something that allowed him to be himself because Terri hasn't done it, and that he watched her occasionally and wonders what she could have been doing. He says that he has now found someone who understands him and allows him to be himself. He then tells Terri he loved her for a long time, but no more. Terri breaks down, and asks why. Dustin says he's done all he can for her, and that he is starting his life over and doing it for himself, and refuses to live for her or Dusty anymore. He tells Terri to take his ring, their marriage and Marlena and shove it up her ass because he's had it with "[her] and [her] shit."

We take a look back at what led to the match between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WWF Championship.

Ahmed Johnson shows up, wanting to take on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin right now, but instead of getting Austin, he gets Paul Bearer and Kane. Even Ahmed cannot bring Kane down, and he is next to fall victim to both a choke slam and Tombstone Piledriver from Kane. After a second Tombstone to Ahmed, Mankind shows up with a metal object and puts Paul Bearer in the Mandible Claw before hitting Kane with the metal object. As Mankind grabs a steel chair outside of the ring to protect Ahmed, Kane gets right back up, and referees have to keep Mankind and Kane apart.

After the break, it is announced that Ahmed Johnson is receiving medical attention. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin then shows up and says Ahmed Johnson was going to get his ass whipped, and that's what happened. He then says that Ahmed got off light, as he would have opened a real can of whoop-ass and fed it to him with a spoon. He then says that if Ahmed can still get in the ring, he'll take him on. If not, he'll face anybody else in the locker room. As he waits, he tells someone to get him a hot dog and a beer. He finally get a challenge in the form of The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia), and Kama Mustafa is the one to step up. Suddenly, Austin gives Kama a stunner while The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) attack the rest of The Nation. As referees try to get The Nation and The Legion of Doom apart, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin heads to the back with a smile on his face.

The introduction to the show replays to signal the start of War Zone.

Michael Cole interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the ring. Instead of Shawn, everyone gets "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who tells all "the fat, out-of-shape Pennsylvania pissants" to button their lips and open their eyes as he introduces D-Generation X (Shawn, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, Rude). Shawn kisses both Triple H and Chyna on the lips, then then Triple H takes the microphone and says they've come out here week after week giving everyone a hard time, and shakes Michael Cole's hands for sticking it out that long before pushing him back, causing him to fall over Chyna. Cole leaves the ring, then Shawn takes the microphone, puts himself a pedestal, and then decides to take it one level higher and says he will always be known as the wrestling god, but Triple H stops him before he can finish that statement and Shawn makes fun of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. Triple H says Shawn that to be a god, you have to be as old as god. He also takes potshots at the Halloween Havoc cage match, calling it "Age in the Cage." Shawn says Triple H has made his point, then says he will show Bret "The Hit Man" Hart he is the man. He says showing his bare bottom is nothing compared to what he will do next week: walk out to the ring naked and take "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and show him "The World's Most Dangerous...Man." Triple H says D-Generation X calls the shots, and tells WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to come out to the ring and make the match official. As Sgt. Slaughter asks Shawn if he wants the mask, Triple H and Shawn run to a pair of paper bags and pull out riot helmets and put them. He asks again, then they run to the bag again and place windshield wipers on the face masks of the riot helmets. Sgt. Slaughter says that they had ways of straightening guys like them out in boot camp, then gives Shawn the match, then adds a stipulation: it's taking place tonight, not next week. When Shawn and Triple H pull the face guards on the riot helmets up, Sgt. Slaughter finally spits at them. Shawn says that boot camp may have ways of straightening guys like him out, but this is the World Wrestling Federation and he'll straighten him out. As soon as Shawn says this is the WWF, Vince says "It sure is," and the crowd suddenly cheers, causing Shawn to stop talking and say "I'm Shawn Michaels! You can't talk to me that way!"

Before the next match, it is announced that The Patriot is out with a torn tricep, and a decision will be made over the weekend on who will take his place. Also, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon accompany The British Bulldog to the ring along with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, and Jim Ross notes the irony of Doug Furnas being in The Bulldog's corner on commentary, stating that Furnas is an American and from Commerce, Oklahoma while LaFon is Canadian and from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

During the next match, Michael Cole interviews Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon, asking why they are part of Team Canada for Survivor Series. LaFon says he is from Canada, while Furnas says that the American fans didn't care when they were in an auto accident five years ago and didn't write any letters to him, yet other fans around the world did. He implies that America can kiss his ass.

Vader beats The British Bulldog in a Dog Collar Match. After the match, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon. All of a sudden, a man in a white tanktop, black slacks and black sneakers jumps the barrier, gets in the ring and fights off the three of them with competent martial arts ability. Vader has to place himself on top of him to keep Neidhart, Furnas and LaFon from attacking this man. Referees, officials and police officers get in the ring, and after order is restored, this man is escorted out of the arena. Vince McMahon reminds the viewers at home that while WWF encourages fan participation, they do not recommend doing what that man just did.

Slaughter.

The referee then turns around to see D-Generation X (Shawn, Triple H, Chyna, Rude) attacking Shamrock, then Triple H pedigrees Shamrock into the steel Halliburton briefcase to end the show.
