Jim Ross introduces Bart Gunn to the ring as part of a celebratory award presentation. Jim Ross gives him giant golden boxing gloves for his Brawl For All win, then Bart Gunn says that his victory was no fluke. He says that he had waited eight long months for an opportunity to come to his door, and he realized that he had to do the knocking. He did just that and knocked out three men to get to this point, and he tells WWF owner Vince McMahon that he will have to start taking notice of him. If there is anything that he needs to do to prove himself to anyone in the back, he will issue an open challenge to anybody who wants to face him in a Brawl For All-style match, and this challenge is not only for the locker room, but for the rest of the world.

We hear from The Rock, who says that he did what he set out to do: climb "The People's Ladder" rung by rung and grab. He then says if it weren't for Chyna, he would have won it. He says "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley can enjoy his reign and he hopes that it is a great one, but there is only one People's Champion. As time goes on, he proves day in and day out that he is The People's Champion, The People's Choice and the best damn champion there ever was. We then hear from Triple H and Chyna. Triple H says that the obvious symbolism here is that D-Generation X (Triple H, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are on top of the world. Triple H says that Sunday night was an all-time classic and that The Rock gave him all that he had, but when all was said and done, he took the WWF Intercontinental Championship and placed it back around his waist. There is just one thing he wants to know from The Rock after that: "Who's your daddy, big man?"

Dustin Runnels beats Lance Diamond. After the match, Runnels helps Lance Diamond up, but Diamond is surprised by this and gets out of the ring.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 24, 1998

RAW

The Undertaker is in the building. So is Kane, who is right behind him.

The Undertaker and Kane show up to start tonight's show. It is noted by the commentary teams that the cell from the Hell in a Cell matches is hanging high above the ring. WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up with a smile on his face, proclaiming that The Undertaker and Kane have "come out of the coffin" and that this is the best moment since United States President Bill Clinton's mea culpa from last week. Vince tells the crowd "I told you so," and that Kane and The Undertaker together are the most destructive force in the WWF, and that with Kane at his side, The Undertaker will not need his help to win the WWF Championship at SummerSlam, though he will need him again in the future for his wisdom, his brilliant strategy and his friendship. He then asks The Undertaker if he is friend or foe to him, and tells him to think about it before giving him an answer before the end of the night. Paul Bearer shows up, and tells Kane to tell him it is not true, as he has always been the one to be there for him and love him, as his mother - who he calls "that sleazy whore" - did not do. Kane gently keeps The Undertaker back upon that comment, and Bearer tells Kane to look in his eyes as his blood runs through Kane's veins and that he knows who has been honest to him and who has been deceitful to him. He then tells Kane that if he never does anything else for him again, to destroy The Undertaker for him as one last request. Kane turns his back on Bearer, and The Undertaker attacks Paul Bearer. Mankind shows up, and Kane and The Undertaker beat him down. Mankind fails to even fight back as Kane and The Undertaker hit him with a spike Tombstone Piledriver. Vince McMahon then tells The Undertaker that there is only one man left standing between him and the WWF Championship: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin shows up immediately upon the utterance of his name, and his boots are not quaking as Vince has just said. A ball of fire shoots out from the stage, and nearly roasts Austin. Austin says he knew along they were together, and that he nearly got choked up by the family reunion because he was happy about it. He is not happy, however, about being nearly set on fire, and says it will take an effort on his part to beat The Undertaker at SummerSlam. With Kane at The Undertaker's side however, he may not have much of a chance, but he nevertheless tells The Undertaker to grow eyes in the back of his eyes as he will take somebody out tonight, and that he will burn The Undertaker's ass if he wants to play with fire and believe he is in Austin's head.

We see footage of Mankind being taken away on a stretcher from the commercial break, then we see Mankind being placed in an ambulance.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats Dan "The Beast" Severn by disqualification after Owen Hart gets in the ring and tries to choke Shamrock out. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman gets in the ring and hits a running front kick on Severn. After the match, Blackman tries to keep Shamrock back, but gets hit with a German suplex. Blackman responds with a belly-to-belly suplex, then referees and officials have to restore order. Shamrock then snaps and scares everyone else in the ring out as Blackman leaves, then he butts his head on the steel steps.

Mankind is out of the ambulance, pushing a stretcher around while two people are knocked down.

Mankind makes his way down the entrance ramp on the stretcher, and enters the ring with a bag of tacks. He says he was warned by Vince McMahon that Kane was no good, and he tried not to believe it. Now that it is true, Vince McMahon has offered him his chance in redemption, and redemption lies above his head. Vince knows that when Kane and Mankind are locked in the Cell, he will get his ass kicked. He asks what kind of an idiot whould get in the same match that nearly cost him his life, and says that idiot is him. He has a plan, and it does not involve getting in the ring, but instead, walking up to the top of the cage. If he can get Kane up there, he has a surprise for him: 7,000 thumbtacks that will turn him into the world's largest pincushion. If this all goes his way, history will be made, and if they take a turn for the worse, it wouldn't be the first time he got his ass kicked in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Either way, he doesn't give a damn, and he will see Kane in Hell.

We revisit the Hell in a Cell Match between The Undertaker and Mankind from King of the Ring.

Sable shows up and introduces Kurrgan before the next match before dancing with The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Kurrgan, Golga, Giant Silva). "Marvelous" Marc Mero shows up without Jacqueline, and if Kurrgan has any guts, he'll fight him without the rest of The Oddities at ringside. The Oddities leave, while Sable stays behind.

Kurrgan beats "Marvelous" Marc Mero by disqualification. During the match, Sable is attacked by Jacqueline, who is wearing a hat with fake dreadlocks. Mero hits Kurrgan with a low blow, but the referee sees it and disqualifies Mero, who flees through the crowd with Jacqueline.

X-Pac leads a camera crew to the locker room, where he urinates on a pair of cowboy boots.

Before the next match, Road Warrior Hawk guests on commentary. Hawk's speech is notably slurred as he keeps asking questions and saying strange things.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight). During the match, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett rips the headset off the head of a sloshed-looking Road Warrior Hawk and demands X-Pac show up, wanting a piece of him after X-Pac urinated on his cowboy boots and declaring that he will give him a beating and a shaving of the head at SummerSlam. Mark Canterbury is distracted by what's going on with Jarrett, and Gunn hits Knight with a piledriver before Road Dog makes the pin. Jarrett and Southern Justice beat up a cameraman and shave his headafter being warned one too many times not to shoot him from the waist down.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, Mankind beats up several referees as they try to stop him from climbing to the top of the Cell. Kane goes after Mankind, who then tries to get on top of the cage again, only to be pulled off the top and into a commentary table by The Undertaker. After a beating by Kane, Mankind is finally in the ring and the match begins.

Kane vs. Mankind in a Hell in a Cell Match ends after "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes out from underneath the ring and stomps a mudhole in Kane. The Undertaker tries to get in the Cell by stomping a hole in the top as Austin hits Kane with a Stone Cold Stunner, and is about to make his way in when the Cell suddenly rises up. It is revealed that WWF owner Vince McMahon is the one at the controls for the Cell, raising it up. Austin hits Kane with another Stunner, then takes a stretcher located near the ring.

After the commercial break, The Undertaker tells "Stone Cold" Steve Austin he has given far too much respect, as he has just come out and proved that he is nothing more than a coward after jumping Kane from behind with no provocation. Is is noted that Kane is bleeding from the head, and The Undertaker tells Austin he just sealed his fate. Before the night ends, Austin will come face-to-face with his destiny, and that this is personal.

Chyna shows up alone, followed by "The Rock" Rocky Maivia, with The Nation (Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) not far behind as they carry a ladder to the ring. The Rock tells Chyna that if she wants to be a big shot and call him out, here he is. Before he goes any further, he tells Chyna that he knows this is a set-up and that he is one step ahead. He then tells Chyna to look at the TitanTron. We see D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) trapped in their locker room backstage by a forklift by a door. The Rock then tells Chyna to tell Triple H to face him in New York City one-on-one at SummerSlam for the WWF Intercontinental Championship in a Ladder Match, where he will climb "The People's Ladder" "rung by damn rung" and prove why he is The People's Champion. The Rock then tries to hit on Chyna, who tries to dump the ladder that The Rock is standing on only to be held down by Owen and D'Lo. The Rock tells Owen and D'Lo Brown to get her on her knees, then implies that Chyna is a whore before threatening to kiss her in the most uncomfortable matter, which he then ultimately decides against as there is no way he would kiss "a piece of trash like [Chyna]." He then tells Mark Henry to "give her the thrill of her life," making the kiss even more uncomfortable than before. He is about to do it when "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels - of all people - suddenly shows up and hits Mark Henry with a steel chair to the back of the head. Shawn then tosses the Intercontinental title to The Rock, then hands the steel chair to Chyna before dancing on the commentary table.

"D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are seen outside of the arena looking for The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry). "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels guests on commentary from this point forward.

Before the next match, Val Venis says the ladies can forget past cheese steaks and try The Big Valbowski's, as his has "more meat than your buns can handle."

Val Venis beats Taka Michinoku by disqualification when an enraged "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley smashes a steel chair into Venis' back before hitting Taka in the head with it. Triple H then says "The Rock" Rocky Maivia has just crossed a line, and that at SummerSlam, The Rock's role will become real clear, as The Rock will become his bitch.

X-Pac beats Gangrel by disqualification after "Double J" Jeff Jarrett shows up and hits X-Pac in the head with a guitar. Edge is seen in the crowd during the match. After the match, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley chases Jarrett out of the ring, and he and Chyna check on X-Pac As Triple H and Chyna help X-Pac to the back, Edge suddenly rushes into the ring and assaults Gangrel, and referees have to pull them apart. Gangrel is seen laughing during the pull-apart, and Edge leaves through the crowd.

The Undertaker is seen dragging a casket backstage.

An interview with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is promises of Code Red on WWF.com.

Bart Gunn beats Bradshaw by knockdown with 20 seconds left in the first round to win the Brawl For All Tournament and the cash prize of $75,000. (Bradshaw wins $25,000 for being runner-up.)

Michael Cole interviews WWF owner Vince McMahon, who says he will get his answer as to whether he will be friend or foe to The Undertaker, and that he will get the answer he wants.

Chants are heard, and druids bring a casket to ringside. After the druids leave, The Undertaker arrives and states that he will take what is rightfully is at SummerSlam - the WWF Championship - and do it like a man. He will not jump "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and that Austin need not worry about kane as Kane has his own agenda at SummerSlam. The Undertaker says he has been up front from beeginning, and at SummerSlam, it will be him, Austin and the WWF Championship. Tonight, however, Austin made it personal, and tells Austin that when he jumped on Kane, he jumped on him. He dares Austin to take a ride on the highway to Hell tonight, but as The Undertaker continues to speak, WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up. He takes the microphone and tells The Undertaker to forget about Austin, and asks if he is friend or foe. Vince extends his hand, but The Undertaker choke slams him. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin climbs out of the coffin, mouths off at Vince, then Kane also comes out of the casket and attacks Austin from behind before Austin can attack The Undertaker. Austin wisely gets out of the ring and tries to re-enter the ring with a steel chair, but the referee stationed nearby does not let him. Austin leaves, and as he does, a line of fire travels up the entrance ramp. The show ends.

After the show goes off the air, Austin goes back down the ramp without the steel chair, takes his shirt off and heads towards the ring. Kane leaves the ring and The Undertaker gets near the ropes. Austin backs away and leaves, then Kane gets back in the ring and stares towards the stage along with The Undertaker. WWF owner Vince McMahon leaves as the fire on the ramp is put out, but then Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco show up. Vince then heads towards the ring, but Austin returns and pushes the threesome towards the ring while beating them pu. Patterson is choke slammed by The Undertaker, while Briscoe is rammed into the casket. Austin then leaves again.

He then mentions "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley's challenge to a Ladder Match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam, and accepts it, saying "You bet your pretty ass." The Rock then says he will both enter and leave SummerSlam as WWF Intercontinental Champion after beating Triple H from pillar to post all over the ring before hitting him with the Rock Bottom and climbing up the ladder to take back the title, and says that he will look into Triple H's eyes and Triple H will realize that there is nobody who can beat him.

It is announced that Chyna will call out The Rock tomorrow night on Raw.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin tries to force his way into WWF owner Vince McMahon's office backstage.

The show starts with a hearse backing up into the arena. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes out of the driver's seat, and gets in the ring to tell WWF owner Vince McMahon to either get in the ring or he'll sit there and drink about 23 more beers until he does. Pat Patterson shows up, followed by Gerald Brisco, followed by WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter. It is then and only then after Austin asks someone to fetch him another beer than Vince shows up. As Vince heads to the ring, it is announced that Vince McMahon will be live on America On-Line this Thursday night at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central (Keyword: WWF). Austin tells Vince he must be happy that he and The Undertaker are no longer tag team champs, but Vince says "not really." Austin says Vince is so full of crap it's unreal, but that is okay with him because he and The Undertaker are no longer "bound together" due to tag team gold, as he does not trust or depend on anybody. As for The Undertaker saying he pissed him off, Austin says he was "born pissed off." As for "having one foot in the grave," he plans to pull the foot out of the grave and put it in The Undertaker's ass to let him know how SummerSlam will be like before he beats him and stuffs him in the hearse. Austin threatens to stuff Vince in the hearse if he gets in his way, and chauffeur the three of them down the highway to Hell that is SummerSlam.

The rest of The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) are ejected from ringside before the next match.

Severn then chokes out Blackman from behind, and Owen then attacks Blackman. Referees and officials have to rush in to restore order. Severn the does a double high-five with Owen Hart before leaving.

Slaughter after he says something to him.

Bart Gunn beats "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa by knockout in the third round to continue to the finals of the Brawl For All Tournament. Before the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler calls President Bill Clinton (or in this case, an impersonator), who says that he "likes it Raw" and that "even Monica knows that." The Godfather considers giving Bart Gunn a choice to either fight him or spend a night with his hoes, but then decides against it and says he's going to kick his ass. After the match, Gunn from Jim Ross, to which Jim Ross replies "Nothing's given; you've earned it."

"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock are seen tearing things up backstage while looking for Owen Hart and Dan "The Beast" Severn, while Gangrel - a man with a gothic, vampiric gimmick - is seen backstage waiting for his debut, which is next.

Michael Cole announces that Owen Hart's trainer for his Lion's Den Match against "The World's Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock is none other than Dan "The Beast" Severn. Owen and Severn have already left the building, but Shamorck and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman will make a statement concerning this later tonight.

Gangrel beats "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher in his Raw debut. Edge is seen in the crowd, paying close attention to Gangrel as he makes his entrance, which involved Gangrel coming out through a ring of fire in the stage and drinking blood from a goblet before spitting it out.

Michael Cole interviews "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, who says that there had better be two hospital beds for Owen Hart and Dan "The Beast" Severn, as he will pop every bone in their bodies. He then threatens to do the same to Michael Cole if he does not leave, before he and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman trash the backstage set.

Cameras are trained on the entrance to the arena as commentary waits on The Undertaker to arrive.

Michael Cole interviews D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) concerning their Street Fight with The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry). Before they can say anything, The Nation shows up and both sides brawl backstage. Referees and officials are quickly in place to try to stop the carnage.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) beat Faarooq and Scorpio. During the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews "President Bill Clinton," who says that despite all the scandals, his job is getting done. Also during the match, the brawl between D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) and The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) continues backstage, and the brouhaha quickly spills into the arena. The brawl between DX and The Nation distracts the referee, allowing Skull and 8-Ball to switch places after Scorpio hits the 450 Splash.

Triple H is ganged up on by The Nation and even has his mouth busted open.

Tiger Ali Singh and Abu show up. Singh makes fun of America again, saying that the people of India are in way better condition than the people of America. We see footage of Abu training heavily, and we see that Abu is still caked in sweat from being unable to bathe himself afterward. Tiger Ali Singh then offers $500 cash to anyone who is willing to lock Abu's unwashed feet. Abu picks a person out of the audience, and Abu removes one of his socks so that he will lick the toe jam between Abu's toes, which the young man is all too eager to do. He gets his $500 and quickly leaves after showing it off on camera.

The arm wrestling contest between Sable and Jacqueline ends in controversy. Before the contest, Sable shows up with Jacqueline's bikini contest trophy and says that if she wants it back, to come and get it. During the arm wrestling contest, Jacqueline pushes the table onto Sable, and smashes the bikini contest trophy on Sable's back. "Marvelous" Marc Mero shows up, but The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Golga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva) rush in and both Mero and Jacqueline flee. The Oddities check on Sable and help her up and to the back.

Michael Cole interviews Val Venis, who wants to run the gauntlet against Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki, Taka Michinoku, Yamaguchi-san) as he has been conditioned to run all night along, and if he wins, he gets five minutes with Yamaguchi-san during which he will show him what it's like to be severed at the head.

He suggest that instead of watching the next segment, one should curl up with a good book like Oliver Twist, Ivanhoe, or his personal favorite, the New Testament. He says the viewer will be glad they did, and that He is coming back. We then see the "The preceding was sponsored by the Evangelists Against Television, Movies & Entertainment" message.

Sable shows up, and calls Jacqueline out so they can fight. Jacqueline is on the TitanTron, saying she wasn't born yesterday and that if they want to fight, they'll do it at SummerSlam in a mixed tag team match. The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Golga, Kurrgan, Giant Silvan) then storm "Marvelous" Marc Mero's locker room and go after Mero and Jacqueline.

Michael Cole announces that The Undertaker has made it to the arena, and that it will not take long for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to find him. In case the two men go at it, cameras will be backstage to capture the action.

Before the next match, Val Venis shows up with a pink Super Soaker. It is announced that Val Venis will show up on Code Red at WWF.com. Val Venis then tells the ladies that they can forget about trying to blackmail him, because even though he is not a screamer -unlike Bill Clinton - after he leaves his mark, he always "Shouts it out" before imitating the act of squirting a spray bottle. When Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki, Taka Michinoku, Yamaguchi-san) shows up, WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up and says only one man can be in or around the ring at any one time.

Venis then pulls out his pink Super Soaker and soaks everyone in the ring, including Mrs. Yamaguchi-san.

The Undertaker and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin confront each other in the ring. It is then revealed that Kane is in the ring with Austin, not The Undertaker, and is wearing The Undertaker's robe and clothes. Kane attacks Austin, and both men brawl in and out of the ring and into the crowd until Austin tosses Kane into the hearse and closes the back door. Austin tries to get in the hearse, but finds out that the door is locked and that the real Undertaker is in the driver's seat. The Undertaker drives away with Kane in the back to end the show.

Before the match, Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler make a slight dig at Bash at the Beach, saying "The Mailman [Karl Malone] didn't deliver." At this point, the unofficial results just shows the score and do not show the points breakdown. Also, WWF referees are used for matches from this point forward. After the match, Bob Holly swipes at Bart Gunn, and both men have to be pulled apart.

The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) are backstage, unhappy about D-Generation X's ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) parody of them from last week.

Backstage, The Rock says he's flattered, but says nobody can ever be The People's Champ. The Godfather tells "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn that if he wants to be a pimp, he'll show him that "pimpin' ain't easy." (Author's note: that sounds familiar.) Mark Henry tells X-Pac he should be worried about his hands around his neck. D'Lo Brown tells "Road Dog" Jesse James he's not the one to mess with, and Owen Hart says that if Jason Sensation thinks he's funny, he'll slap the piss out of him. Jason Sensation continues to imitate Owen Hart to the point that he runs into the arena and slaps Jason Sensation before tossing him into the ring and putting him in the Sharpshooter. The rest of The Nation has to calm owen down, and D-Generation X's ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) to fight off The Nation.

We see footage from during the break where D-Generation X's ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) helps Jason Sensation to the back.

Sable guests on commentary for the next match. She says that the bathing suit she will be wearing at Fully Loaded will make the suit she wore at the Slammy Awards look like an evening gown. Sable also she is not at liberty to discuss her professional relationship with WWF owner Vince McMahon which allowed her to return to the World Wrestling Federation.

"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman beats "Marvelous" Marc Mero. At one point in the match, Jacqueline confronts Sable at commentary, allowing Mero to hit Blackman with a low blow as referee Jimmy Korderas is trying to keep them apart.

Kane and Mankind beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) to become the WWF Tag Team Champions. "The Rock" Rocky Maivia and Owen Hart show up during the match and watch from the entrance ramp, but "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and X-Pac show up and attack them from behind. The ensuing brouhaha distracts referee Tim White, allowing D'Lo Brown to show up from out of the crowd and hit Road Dog with a frog splash from the top as "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry also shows up, allowing Kane to hit Road Dog with a Tombstone Piledriver for the win as referees and officials try to break up the ringside brawls.

"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley asks WWF owner Vince McMahon for a tag team title re-match and even makes the case for Vince being special guest referee.

Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki) beat Taka Michinoku and Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and "Too Hot" Scott Taylor) after some miscommunication between Taka and Taylor. After the match, Christopher attacks Taka and tosses him out of the ring. Val Venis then shows up and tells Yamaguchi-san last week, while Kaientai came out and attacked him from behind and he slapped him across the face, he realized two things: he was wrong and that no man should ever mess with another man's wife. With that in mind, he offers him his most deepest, sincere apologies, and to show exactly how sincere he is, he offers him a special viewing of his latest video entitled "Land of the Rising Venis." The sexual acts are mosaic blurred, and then it is revealed that he slept with Yamaguchi-san's wife. Venis tells him that when they get a taste of "The Big Valbowski," they never, ever come back. Yamaguchi-san is distraught.

WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up. He introduces "the most demonic, twisted soul in the history of the WWF," The Undertaker. Vince asks what The Undertaker won't do to become WWF Champion, mentioning what he did to Mankind at King of the Ring and choke slamming nearly every WWF Superstar into oblivion before disguising himself as Kane and fooling everyone, including himself. Vince says that The Undertaker had to have had some help from his brother Kane, and refuses to answer everyone who has asked about. Vince says that he won't refuse to answer him, however, and asks The Undertaker if he is in cahoots with his brother Kane. The Undertaker tells Vince that if he wants an answer, he can go to Hell. Vince asks The Undertaker who he thinks he is, then "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. Austin tells Vince that The Undertaker told him to go to Hell, and to spin around so he can kick him in the ass and give him a head-start. As far as The Undertaker goes, at least he had the decency to challenge him face-to-face like a man, and that he can respect that, but the problem is that they are tag team partners at Fully Loaded against Kane and Mankind. He wants to know if it's the two of them against two opponents, or if it will be him against three opponents, and he wants to know where The Undertaker is coming from. The Undertaker tells Austin to go to Hell with him. Suddenly, D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) shows up. Triple H says everyone is looking for answers, then calls Austin and The Undertaker "the two toughest S.O.B.s in the business today," before saying that Road Dog and Billy Gunn will get their rematch and that Vince will find out if The Undertaker and Kane are in cahoots. Triple H then demands three referees for the tag team title rematch: one on the inside, and two special guest enforcers on the outside: Austin and The Undertaker. Vince gives them the tag team rematch without hesitation, then DX tells Vince to suck it.

Suddenly, Skull and 8-Ball show up and says they beat Road Dogg and Billy Gunn before L.O.D. 2000 did, and says they should be the ones with the title shot. DX have a brief huddle, and tells both teams to suck it since they can't fight all four of them at once. Suddenly, WWF Commissioner Sgt.

We then see The Undertaker attack WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter backstage as he demands to know where WWF owner Vince McMahon is.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) and L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) when both men are made the legal participants and Billy Gunn pins Road Dog. During the match, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and X-Pac are seen sitting on steel chairs and watching the match from the stage, showing signs such as "Where's Rocco?"

RAW

WWF owner Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson and three police officers show up. Vince McMahon says last Monday night was a glorious night, as not only did Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson come out of retirement to beat up "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (which he congratulates them for), but WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter also tamed him. Vince says that he himself "drained the venom from that rattlesnake's poisonous head," and brags about disguising himself so he could nail Austin from behind with a steel chair. He says he assaulted "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and got away with it. He then says that last Monday night will pale in comparison to Over The Edge, when Dude Love takes the WWF Championship from Steve Austin, and dawn a new era in the World Wrestling Federation. Suddenly, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up, and asks Vince if he's proud of himself as he proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the world's dumbest son-of-a-bitch for outright telling the world that he assaulted him. Since he was assaulted, he tells Vince's security detail to arrest Vince. Vince says it's a figure of speech, but the officers aren't buying it and Vince is immediately cuffed. Patterson and Brisco get handcuffed for pushing the cops after Austin asks if their actions could be considered obstruction of justice, and Austin says he's pressing charges before telling the cops he wants them all in the back of the squad car. He then kicks Vince in the gut and pours beer on him.

Before the next match, L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) introduce their tag team partner: former Maryland Terrapin and Denver Bronco player Darren "Puke" Drozdov, who nearly pukes on one of the bikes of The Disciples of Apocalypse (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball).

After The Jackyl mentions that Hank was mockingly voted "Most Beautiful Human Beings," an angry Hank says that people are talking about him online and that they have screwed up the lives of two of his best friends. Crackhead Bob says he is mad as hell and that he will not take it anymore at the behest of The Jackyl. The Jackyl then introduces more "human oddities": "Princess" Luna Vachon, a masked man named Golga and a seven-foot-tall whose name is not mentioned. Everyone in the ring then hugs The Jackyl.

WAR ZONE

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

WWF owner Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson show up. Vince says he hopes "Stone Cold" Steve Austin had fun and is proud of himself after tonight, and shows his anger for Austin having him arrested like a common criminal before pouring beer down his neck and placing conditions on his release in the form of an apology he did not mean as well as having someone voluntee to stand guard while he officiates the WWF Championship match between Dude Love and Austin to ensure he calls it down the middle. He has no problem with the latter condition, as he says there is not one Superstar on the roster who can intimidate him or stop him from what he is going to do in that match. Vince then tells Austin his fun will come to an end, not at Over The Edge, but tonight, as he is ordering him to compete one-on-one tonight against The Undertaker.

In footage from earlier today, D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) continues Operation DX. Only one man can do the next mission: Triple H, and he has to fly to do it.

We see "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley flying over the Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville, Indiana - the site of tonight's WCW Monday Nitro - to send a few messages to WCW before "dropping a bomb on WCW."

Before the next match, "The Rock" Rocky Maivia expresses his opinions on Viagra. Since he has no need for Viagra, he has no comment on it. What he can and will comment on is Faarooq, telling him he will enter and leave this Sunday as the WWF Intercontinental Champion. As for "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he is tired of D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) entertaining "all these pieces of trailer park trash" and their "fetish with their anatomy." The Rock says he has something hard for Triple H in the form of the Rock Bottom, and tells him to bring it.

"The Rock" Rocky Maivia and "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley wrestle to a double count-out. After the match, Triple H sits in a steel chair in the center of the ring and dares The Rock to get some more, and as The Rock leaves with his back towards the backstage entrance, he is suddenly attacked from behind and piledriven into the stage by Faarooq.

Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco check on Vince McMahon, but "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up to give Stone Cold Stunners to Brisco and Patterson before tying Vince up in the ropes. He is about to hit Vince with a steel chair, but Dude Love shows up from behind with a steel chair of his own. Austin sees him coming, and smacks his chair into Dude Love's, sending Dude Love's chair into Dude Love's forehead and knocking him out. Brisco and Patterson free Vince from the ring ropes, then Austin leaves to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 20, 1998

Kevin Kelly is outside the cemetery where Kane and The Undertaker's parents are buried and where Kane and The Undertaker will meet. It is reported that Kane and Paul Bearer have been seen here, and that The Undertaker will be here shortly.

Dude Love shows up, and welcomes everyone to The Love Shack. Vince McMahon shows up, and says that he had an opportunity to humiliate and embarrass "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last week, and that Dude Love prevented that with his interference. He fines Dude Love $5,000 for his actions last week and tells him not to interfere in his business again before leaving. Dude Love admits the last week has been emotional, and says letters have been pouring in asking one question: "Why, Dude, why?" He explains that when he made his way to the ring, he wanted to create a little bit of peace, love and understanding. When he stepped up to Vince, he was victim to an attack from behind by Austin. Now Dude Love is wondering why Austin would do such a thing, and says the answer is simple: the root of all evil - the chicks. When he and Austin were tag champs, all the women followed them around, and while he was a chick magnet, Austin got all the uglier women while he got all the beautiful ones. Dude Love says he has a match with "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman tonight, but he and Austin don't have to wait until Unforgiven as Austin can be forgiven tonight. He is willing to forget about the #1 contender's match as long as Austin comes out and grovels on his knees before the end of the night. Otherwise, Unforgiven will be a long night. Dude finishes by claiming he knew he would take him, but never thought it would be that easy.

The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) come out through the crowd for their next match, a Long Island Street Fight. Mark Henry is seen carrying a beer keg with one hand.

As the rest of The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) are sent to the back by WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman, both armed with weapons of their own, are kept in the back by WWF officials.

Faarooq beats Kama Mustafa in a Long Island Street Fighter after using one of his own cowboy boots as a weapon.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) have a laugh at the footage of themselves urinating on The Disciples of Apocalypse's (Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) motorcycles, then Billy Gunn says he, Jesse James and X-Pac had all the fun while Triple H stayed to the side. He dares Triple H to not only "show us the bazooka," but to also "show [the crowd] a shower of some kind." Triple H accepts Billy Gunn's challenge.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up, with Triple H wearing a long, black trenchcoat. X-Pac gets the crowd fired up before handing the microphone to Triple H, who says that last week, The Disciples of Apocalypse's (Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) "talked some trash, rode up in here on some brass, and left here with their heads shoved up their ass." James and Gunn introduces themselves as The New Age Outlaws, who says that at Unforgiven, L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) will learn that you can polish a turd all day and it'll still be doo-doo. Triple H makes fun of their valet Sunny, saying he doesn't like being called "skanky," which he says repeatedly. He then says you can put Chyna inside of a steel cage and haul her up over the ceiling, but if she rips open the bars, she'll rip off your head and do something down it that you don't want her to do. He then tells Owen Hart that at Unforgiven that he owns him, regardless of whether Chyna is inside a cage or not, then tells the ladies not to worry about taking a Sunday drive to a Montague lighthouse, as he has the tower "that's brick-thick and made for a chick." Billy Gunn then reminds Triple H of the dare, then Triple H teases it. He finally pulls out a super soaker from the trenchcoat and shoots water into the crowd. L.O.D 2000 and Owen Hart show up on the stage, and Hawk says they are DX are a lot alike, except they do what they say they're going to do. Tonight, instead of talking the talk, they're going to walk the walk. Triple H says "Don't sing it, bring it!" as the five of them head down the stage only to be stopped by WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, who says that there is a time and place for what they are about to do, and that this is indeed the time and place and as WWF Commissioner, he is making a six-man tag team match between D-Generation X and the team of Owen Hart and L.O.D. 2000. Triple H accepts the challenge. As DX shoots the crowd with the super soaker, WWF owner Vince McMahon is backstage when a woman hands him a coffee. The woman's arm is noticeably shaking.

Kevin Kelly is a few moments away from the cemetery, and when he shows up, we will see what happens between Kane and The Undertaker.

Not long after, it is announced that something has happened there.

Dan "The Beast' Severn beats Mosh with an arm bar.

Kevin Kelly reports that The Undertaker left the cemetery as quickly as he arrived and that the sound of a blood-curdling scream was just heard. As Kevin Kelly says that camera crew have entered the cemetary to see what's going on, The Undertaker grabs Kevin Kelly, demanding to know where Kane and Paul Bearer are at and what happened to them, if anything.

After the commercial break, Kevin Kelly, now seated on the ground, reports in a low voice that he can only speculate on what happened in the cemetary, and that The Undertaker may be heading back to the arena.

Before the next match, Luna Vachon says that this Sunday at Unforgiven, Sable will be reborn and that she will be the woman to strip her of her soul, her mind and all of her clothes. After that, she will leave her naked and alone in the center of the room like the pathetic wench that she is.

Bradshaw beats The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust by disqualification when Bradshaw is suddenly attacked by Club Kamikaze.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen backstage...

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

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. Last week, he asked WWF owner Vince McMahon who his opponent for Unforgiven was only to be told that Vince was still deliberating on it. Austin feels that Vince is lying, but it doesn't bother him as he says he's lied to him in the past. He also mentions Dude Love's interference and attack on him during his match with Vince last week, and says that there is a conspiracy between Vince and Dude Love. He asks the fans to give him a "hell yeah" if they feel that way, too, which they do. He says Dude can beat him if he has one arm tied behind his back any day of the week, but he can bet his last dollar that he will pick himself back up and beat his sorry ass. He says that Unforgiven is too long, and promises that before the show is over, he will get his hands on both Vince and Dude Love as he has some ass to kick tonight. Austin then accosts a photographer as well as ring announcer Tony Chimel, then flips the crowd off, accosts a cameraman on the stage and leaves.

Before the next match, a hearse appears outside of the arena. Also, Jim Cornette guests on commentary for the next match.

2 Cold Scorpio and Terry Funk beat The New Midnight Express ("Bombastic" Bob Holly and "Bodacious" Bart Gunn). After the match, Dan "The Beast" Severn hits Scorpio with a belly-to-belly suplex, but Funk throws a chair in the ring, forcing Severn and Jim Cornette to flee before Severn can do more damage with a submission hold.

We see Val Venis in the shower with a woman. He says there is nothing like a hot shower after a hot day's night, and when he comes, there will be no stopping him.

Sable is interviewed in the ring by Michael Cole. She says her body is far from humiliating, and the naked truth is that she could care less if Luna Vachon stripped her naked, and as long as she gets her hands on her, she doesn't care what she's wearing.

Kane and a ragged Paul Bearer are seen coming out of the hearse, pulling a coffin out from the trunk.

Michael Cole interviews WWF owner Vince McMahon backstage about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's claims of a conspiracy between him and Dude Love. Vince says Austin has watched too many Oliver Stone movies and does not want to dignify the question with a response. As for Austin's threats to get his hands on him, he was ready for him last week and he is ready for him this week.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Helmsley, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Owen Hart and L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) when the referee is distracted by Owen Hart and Triple H on the outside while Chyna grabs Sunny, distracting Hawk. Gunn hits a piledriver on Animal, ending the match.

Paul Bearer and Kane have pulled a wooden casket out of the hearse. Bearer says The Undertaker will be so surprised, as they have exhumed the coffins of The Undertaker and Kane's parents.

Kane and Paul Bearer show up with the two wooden coffins. Bearer says he is here for The Undertaker as Kane pulls out a gasoline can, as The Undertaker was not able to attend his parents' funeral. Bearer says he has exhumed The Undertaker's parents so he can have a funeral for them, and brags about picking the cheap wooden caskets that he buried his and Kane's parents in, saying they were the cheapest pine boxes he could find. He says they have been in the ground for 20 years and that their coffins are rotten and worm-ridden, then The Undertaker shows up from out of the crowd. Bearer commands Kane to pour the gas on the coffins, and Bearer commands The Undertaker to stop. The Undertaker tells Bearer he will die a thousand deaths if he sets the caskets on fire. Bearer does it anyway, then Bearer sets one casket in fire while Kane choke slams The Undertaker into the other when 'Taker goes after him. It is then noted that the casket set on fire is that of his father's and that The Undertaker was choke slammed into his mother's casket when Bearer tells The Undertaker to "rest in piece with [his] dead mama."

Michael Cole reports that Kane and Paul Bearer have left the arena and that the remains of Kane and The Undertaker's parents are in a more secure area, with The Undertaker with the remains in vigilence. Cole says that The Undertaker passed by a few moments ago, and that he will never forget the look on The Undertaker's face.

WWF owner Vince McMahon guests on commentary for the next match. He announces that he will be at ringside for part of Unforgiven, and guarantees that something catastrophic will happen Sunday night.

The bell rings during Dude Love vs. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman as Dude Love has Blackman in an abdominal stretch, and Dude Love is given the victory. Blackman confronts timekeeper Mark Yeaton, and throws him to the floor when he can't explain why the bell was rung. As WWF owner Vince McMahon checks on Mark Yeaton, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up, tosse Dude Love out of the ring, then beats up Vince McMahon before brawling with Dude Love. Vince gets in the ring and takes his jacket off, then Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe join Vince in the ring only to eat Stone Cold Stunners. Dude Love and Austin brawl again as Vince leaves and the show ends.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 6, 1998

WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up. He says having "Stone Cold" Steve Austin arrested was the toughest decision of his professional life, and that he had second thoughts. As a result of his benevolence, he released Austin from jail that very night. Nevertheless, Austin has learned his lesson and learned it the hard way, according to Vince. He says that Austin will no longer be considered a beer-swilling, finger-gesturing, trash-talking blue collar WWF Champion, because tonight could be the proudest moment in his own professional career as the fans will see a "new and improved" Austin later this evening "or your money back."

We see a video package of Dan "The Beast" Severn as Jim Cornette - who brings the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and three of his UFC championship belts along - guests on commentary for the next match.

Dan "The Beast" Severn beats Flash Funk with an arm bar in his WWF debut.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac (formerly Syxx), "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are seen backstage knocking on the ladies' backstage door, topping steel chairs and yelling in a stairwell.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up. Jim Ross acknowledges on commentary during their entrance that X-Pac formerly went by the name of The 1-2-3 Kid. It is also announced that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is recuperating at home from various injuries and has no comment on the restructuring of D-Generation X. Triple H talks about how he promised the world a revolution, a change and an army last week, and that he lives up to all of his promises. Road Dog introduces himself and Billy Gunn as The New Age Outlaws, but says that D-Generation X, not the World Wrestling Federation, brings the Outlaws to the fans. He says the marriage of the Outlaws of D-Generation - the youngest and most capable athletes in the business today - is made in heaven. X-Pac tells the crowd that if they came to see "the grumpy old men stinkin' the joint up," they came to the wrong place as what DX is is young and hungry. Triple H tells the fans that if they wanted a revolution, they got it. He tells the WWF if they want a war, they got it. He says DX is the army, and his bazooka is locked, cocked and ready to unload.

Backstage, D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) mess with a stagehand and spray paint the backstage set.

"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman beats "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher with an arm bar. Tennessee Lee shows up shortly after the match begins to briefly guest on commentary, leave, and return after the match to bring out "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Unbeknownst to Blackman, Jarrett is behind him, and the introduction proves to be a distraction so that Jarrett can smash a guitar into his head. Jarrett calls his attack "a smash hit."

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) come across The Disciples of Apocalypse's (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball). Triple H dares Gunn, James and X-Pac to urinate on their bikes....which they do.

Cactus Jack shows up with a neck brace and a steel chair, and sits in the center of the ring. He says he has always taken a lot of chances in the ring and some very bad things have happened to him over the years, but he always had the comfort of knowing that when he looked at his dreams, career and accomplishments that it was always worth the pain. When people ask him how his neck is doing, Jack says he'll be damned if he lets a group of scum like D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac (formerly Syxx), "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) put him away. He says that Chainsaw Charlie aka Terry Funk isn't here and he hasn't talked to him, but he says Charlie and Funk do not miss wrestling matches, and if Funk is hurt enough to fly home, it must be bad. He wishes people could know Funk more than what they see in the ring, as they always debate on who the greatest wrestler ever is, but if they were to talk to everyone in the locker room, they'd learn that Funk is one of "the gutsiest, old bastards they'd ever seen in their lives." Jack talks about the bruise on his back and says that he was proud of their match at WrestleMania 14, and how Funk told him he would be all right as he considered it the last match of his career, as Funk always wanted to retire a WWF champion. Funk told him that it was all worth it, but they don't have the tag team belts anymore. As he was laying - barely conscious and barely able to move - he heard something in his ears that made him sick: an announcement thanking the fans for coming and an annoucement concerning "Stone Cold" Steve Austin followed by the crowd cheering. When he showed up in the WWF two years ago as Mankind, there were people who wanted him to be Cactus Jack, even when he was Dude Love. He says he gave the fans Cactus Jack as well as every bit of energy he had, and when he laid down helpless, they chanted someone else's name. He rips off the neck brace and tosses away the chair. He says this is not a knock on Austin and that he is happy that Austin is champion, and that they've known each other for a long time, and he's been his friend. However, what the fans did to him and Funk in the middle of the ring was not only distasteful and disrespectful, it was "goddamn disgusting" and that he will give them a chance to make it up to him as he will accept a group apology right now. Jack says that for the first time in years, it's not worth it anymore, and it will be a long time before the fans see Cactus Jack in the ring again. He then thanks the fans who got even a little bit out of a Cactus Jack match before heading to the back.

We see a video made earlier today by The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strong Man" Mark Henry) attacking Faarooq outside of the arena.

Owen Hart beats "The Rock" Rocky Maivia by disqualification after Chyna hits Owen in the back with a baseball bat while the rest of D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) have a laugh at the stage. The Rock retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship. The Nation of Domination (D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strong Man" Mark Henry) is sent to the back during the match after Kama Mustafa stands on the apron and argues with the referee.

The intro to War Zone plays to signify the start of the second hour.

WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up with two police officers, and presents the "new and improved" "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin shows up in a suit, tie and baseball cap but retains his trademark strut. When he goes to the corners of the ring, he does not climb to the second rope and simply stands in each corner, raising one fist. Vince says that tonight is the first step in Austin becoming the best WWF Champion of all time, calling it one small step for Austin and one giant leap for the World Wrestling Federation. Vince says he knows this has not been easy, and it will take a lot of hard work. He thanks Austin, saying this is a step in the right direction, but gives Austin a hard time for wearing his wrestling boots instead of dress shoes and wearing a hat that doesn't go with the suit. Vince then asks what the moment was that allowed Austin to accept reality, and Austin says that when the jail cells close in on you and the guards don't bring the bread and water, he started thinking to himself what kind of chance he had competing against someone like Vince McMahon. He said to himself, "Steve, if you think you can beat Vince McMahon, give me a hell yeah," but then he remembered he was in a jail cell and said "hell no." He says that you have to understand the power and control a Vince McMahon has, and asks one of the officers to take a picture of the two of them together as he pulls a camera out of his suit pocket. The picture is taken, and then Austin tells Vince that the old Steve Austin would tell him to take the camera and stick it up his ass, and that the new Steve Austin would tell him to take the camera and get the film developed, because this is the absolute last time you will see him wearing a ridiculous suit. He takes the suit jacket and shirt off and reveals a Stone Cold tanktop underneath before taking off his pants and telling Vince he changes for nobody. He then tells Vince "D.T.A., Don't Trust Anybody" before telling him to bow down for him before smacking him in the groin and taking a picture of Vince doubled down in pain. Austin then leaves, followed by Vince McMahon, who slowly heads to the back with the two police officers.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) call out D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), saying that this isn't some sort of high school game and that if they have the balls to urinate on their motorcycles, they have the balls to face them in the ring.

Luna Vachon beats Mark Knowles in an inter-gender match - the first of its kind in WWF history - thanks to The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust attacking Knowles before the bell rings. (Mark Knowles is the real name of independent wrestler HC Loc.)

We see another vignette for Val Venis, who says Jack Nicholson has nothing on him. In his latest film, "As Hard As It Gets," he rises to the occasion. When he gets up for a role, he never comes down. It's all work and a little bit of play, but somebody's gotta do it. When he enters the World Wrestling Federation, it'll be a scream.

"Marvelous" Marc Mero vs. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock is thrown out. Before the match, it is announced that D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) have accepted The Disciples of Apocalypse's (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) challenge for later tonight. Mero then tells Sable he allowed her to be in the spotlight at WrestleMania 14, then tells her to get out of his face. Sable heads to the back with a smile on his face this time around. During the match, The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strong Man" Mark Henry) shows up, but Shamrock sees them coming and grabs a steel chair to fend them off. Henry then manages to sneak up on Shamrock and hit him with a belly-to-belly suplex before hitting Shamrock with a big splash and allowing D'Lo Brown to hit Shamrock with a frog splash from the top rope. The Rock tells Shamrock this is the dawn of a new Nation and a new domination, and stomps Shamrock as he is down while officials and referees tell The nation to leave the ring.

Kevin Kelly interviews The Undertaker in the ring. The Undertaker says that Kane found out that he's not just his brother, but also the lord of darkness. He tells Kane that he has given a beating that nobody else ever has, but the soul powers the body and Kane's soul is unpure, allowing Kane to be defeated. As for Paul Bearer's challenge from last week, he calls it "desperate men resorting to desperate actions," and tells Kane that he beat him at well, and regardless of where the fire is, Kane will realize it will be the beginning of his eternal damnation. Paul Bearer and Kane appear on the TitanTron near his parents' graves, telling The Undertaker he will make sure he dies a slow, agonizing death at Unforgiven. He says Kane will beat him senseless and pound his body into the cold, hard ground as Kane destroys his parents' tombstones. Bearer then tells The Undertaker that the inferno will set him ablaze as Kane pours gasoline on the graves. Bearer then says he and Kane will send The Undertaker straight to Hell as Bearer lights a match and Kane drops it on the graves, desecrating them.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) rush at D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) while X-Pac guests on commentary for the match.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The Disciples of Apocalypse (Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball). After the match, X-Pac grabs a steel chair, and DX go to town on the D.O.A., incapacitating Skull and 8-Ball before tying Chainz to the top rope. Suddenly, L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal, Road Warrior Hawk, Sunny) show up and fight DX, helping out Skull and 8-Ball as the show ends.
