Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 5, 2000

RAW

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews WWF chairman Vince McMahon. Vince says that had it not for Triple H's ego, there would not be three #1 contenders for the WWF Championship, and if people around here started listening to him, there would not be these kind of problems. Vince then has Gerald Brisco carry his bag.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley head to the ring to start tonight's show. Triple H tells the fans to shut up, then says that never before in the history of the WWF has the WWF Championship meant so much for so many or been so hotly contested, and that one cannot blame everybody for wanting it, as holding the WWF Championship means one has beaten the best there is, which is what it is all about, and being the undisputed best that there is. He says that there have never been so many people wanting to be the absolute best that there are three #1 contenders - Kane, The Undertaker and The Rock - to the championship, all of whom have the dream to stand in the ring and lay claim to beating him to become the champion. He says that while the competition is fierce, he thrives in it, and the hotter it gets, the more he loves it, as competition turns him on. Triple H then says that "big, huge inflated egos" turn him off, and while he has heard that he has a big ego, he says he should have the biggest ego on the planet due to how good he is, but he does not, as the claim to the biggest ego on the planet is reserved for just one man: WWF chairman Vince McMahon. Triple H says that Vince's ego is so big that it has become a problem, and that him and Stephanie entertaining taking over the company three or four months ago was not such a bad idea after all. Vince McMahon shows up, then Triple H says "Hello, Dad," only for Vince to take the microphone. Vince says he believes in the law of the jungle and that he believes that the bigger, stronger and smarter will eat the weaker and less fortunate one day, and that it is not Triple H's time, for while Triple H is "pretty damn good," the best thing he has ever done for his career is enter the World Wrestling Federation under his tutelage and guidance and marry his daughter Stephanie. He tells Triple H not to get ahead of himself, for regardless of whether his time comes, he made him and can break him. Triple H takes the microphone back and tells Vince that while he may have made the monster, the monster can take over any time he wants, and it was only a short time ago - last December at Armageddon - when he was kicking his ass all over the place. Triple H then shoves Vince McMahon, who takes his suit jacket off before Triple H takes his jacket off. As Vince and Triple H are about to square off, Shane McMahon shows up and says that both of their egos are out of control and that they need to relax. He says that both men's egos are so big that there is more than one #1 contender while Triple H wants to make his own matches and Vince wants to take Triple H in a fistfight. Shane then says Vince is not the only one with great ideas and that he should be running the company, which Vince and Triple H take offense to, and Shane responds by saying he is a giant killer and will kill their giant egos. Shane gets clotheslined by Vince and Triple H, and both of them get slapped by Stephanie in turn. The Rock then shows up and says that instead of a family feud, the owner of a multi-million dollar company or even the WWF Champion, he sees three of the biggest steaming, stinking, smoldering pieces of monkey crap being slapped around by "a walking two dollar slut." The Rock then says he realizes there are two other #1 contenders for the WWF Championship, but he is also a #1 contender, too, and he wants his title shot tonight. He says that he has two options: sit in the back and wait until Triple H is ready to face him, or get in the middle of the ring and whip Triple H's ass all over Rochester, New York. Kane shows up and tells The Rock that he has it all wrong, for he is the #1 contender and he wants his title shot tonight. The Undertaker then shows up and says that in all of his years in WWF, he has never seen so many assholes gathered in one place, and that with allies like the ones he has, Triple H does not need enemies. He says that while everyone else has issues, he does not give a damn, and he wants a title shot even if that means everyone faces Triple H at the same time. Vince proposes that Kane, The Rock and The Undertaker have a shot at Triple H and the WWF Championship in a Triple Threat Match to decide an undisputed #1 contender for the title, with the winner facing Triple H for the WWF Championship tonight.

Val Venis and T&A (Test and Albert) beats Too Cool (Grandmasta Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi). During the match, referee Teddy Long is distracted on the outside. Trish Stratus gets on the apron with one of her boots, but Grandmaster Sexay catches her. When Test charges at Grandmasta Sexay, Sexay hits him with a back elbow and then hits him with the boot. As the referee is still distracted, Val Venis hits Grandmasta Sexay with one of the tag team title belts. After the match, both teams brawl, and Too Cool comes out on top with Val Venis almost getting the Stinkface when Trish Stratus confronts him. Trish slaps Rikishi after Venis rolls out of the ring, and she ends up getting the Stinkface instead. Too Cool then celebrate in the ring.

Backstage, Vince McMahon praises Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley for making everything look believable, and Triple H apologizes to Vince. Vince says that if Triple H is sorry, then he is sorry. Shane McMahon then says "families gotta hug," then everyone hugs. Crash Holly then tries to run into the proceedings with a chair, but Gerald Brisco slams the nearby door on him without so much as looking back.

Chris Benoit beats Road Dogg with a German suplex bridge pin to qualify for the King of the Ring Tournament after The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) rush in and distract Road Dogg. After the match, Bubba Ray grabs Tori from behind as Tori checks on Road Dogg, and D-Von takes out Road Dogg before setting up a table on the outside. Bubba Ray is about to powerbomb Tori through the table when X-Pac hits him with a blow, and X-Pac and Tori flee with Road Dogg.

Crash Holly heads to the ring. He calls Gerald Brisco and tells him to get to the ring and wrestle him after saying he promised his mother he would not get upset. Pat Patterson shows up and says that if he wants the WWF Hardcore Champion, he will give him to him. Patterson then introduces Brisco, who heads to the ring for an impromptu match but runs away from Crash when Crash runs after him.

Gerald Brisco retains the WWF Hardcore Championship against Crash Holly despite Pat Patterson running in to bring a pair of poop-stained underwater into the ring only for Crash to use it as a weapon against Brisco. Brisco gets the pinfall after kicking a stop sign into Crash's face from the corner while the underwear is still around his head, and Pat Patterson gets on top of Gerald Brisco to ensure Brisco retains the title.

Backstage, Kurt Angle apologizes to Edge and Christian for how they lost the WWF Tag Team Championships last week, then says he has good word that if they beat The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley), they will have defended the honor of Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and that Stephanie may be in just a good enough mood to give Edge and Christian another tag team title shot.

Before the next match, Christian says that Rochester, New York is known for three things: the best chili dog in New York three years in a row, the home of a sports team that Christian is unable to identify, and being the home of Kodak. Kurt Angle says he finds it very ironic that "the Kodak moment" originated in a town with very unattractive people, then Edge leads into the five second pose "for the benefit of those with teeth."

Edge, Christian and Kurt Angle beat Chris Jericho and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) in a six-man tag match following an Angle Slam to Bubba Ray Dudley. After the match, Jericho and the Dudley Boyz attack Edge, Christian and Angle, then Jericho puts Angle in the Walls of Jericho and make him tap out while Bubba Ray frantically looks for - and finds - a table undeneath the ring. Bubba Ray and D-Von set it up, then put Angle through the table with a Dudley Death Drop.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Triple H, who says that he does not say anything he does not need, and that there is no need for the Faction and that he will prove he is "that damn good" and that he can beat The Rock on his own. When Michael Cole tells Triple H that the referee for the match is Earl Hebner, Triple H says that it will not matter who the referee is, as all the referee needs to do is make the three-count. Michael then interviews Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and mentions that she has yet to defend the WWF Women's Championship. Stephanie asks Michael Cole who he is to say who she defends the title again and when, as she has no number one contender, unlike Triple H. This leads Ivory and Jacqueline to show up and confront her over a title shot, and Stephanie announces that on SmackDown, there will be a women's battle royal and that she will successfully defend the championship against whoever wins it because she is "that damn good."

Triple H retains the WWF Championship against The Rock.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 8, 2000

RAW

Edge and Christian are accompanied by The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) before the next match. Christian announces that they are issuing another open challenge and that they have hired The Acolytes in case any other team tries to run in and cost them the tag team titles. Edge then takes the microphone and says that Long Island, New York does not exactly have the best looking people in the nation, and makes concessions for that with a six-second pose for the benefits of those with flash photography instead of the usual five-second pose. He then says that if The Acolytes can stay sober long enough to fulfill their obligation, then the open challenge will begin. Bradshaw takes the microphone and says he and Faarooq aren't even sober right now, but out of the kindness of their heart, they will give them a 100% refund. Faarooq says it is so they won't have any remorse when they kick their asses, and The Acolytes accept the open challenge...physically.

Edge and Christian retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) by disqualification after Bradshaw hits Christian with the ring bell, even though Christian was the one to introduce the ring bell as a weapon in the ring against Faarooq. After the match, The Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan show up and attack The Acolytes.

D-Generation X (Triple H, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, X-Pac), Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, Tori, Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon and WWF Chairman Vince McMahon show up. Triple H apologizes to the fans for the actions of referee Earl Hebner, and says that when the WWF has something like what happened to Hebner, WWF is inundated with letters and phone calls, and Hebner has been unable to respond. He states that Hebner has not been able to respond to everyone's well-wishes like a true WWF Superstar should, and says that is is not Earl's fault because Hebner's jaw is wired shut, his eyes are so swollen shut that he cannot read the paper in front of him and that his arm is so broken he cannot write back. He calls this a tragedy, and says the whole thing could have been avoided if Hebner had just kept his nose out of their business. Triple H then states Hebner has to be the hero and that he got what he deserved for it, and shows what happens when anyone crosses the McMahon-Helmsley regime with a replay of the beating given to Hebner last Thursday on SmackDown. Triple H then warns anyone who wants to get in his way of becoming WWF Champion again that they will get a similar beating, then addresses The Rock, telling him that Judgment Day is coming and that old truths will be told. He says it will all come to a head and that everyone will know the truth, and challenges him to a one-on-one match with the WWF Championship on the line at Judgement Day, where a few things will be different: there will be no "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, no WWF co-owner Linda McMahon and no Hebner sticking his nose where it belongs; it will be just him and The Rock. He proposes upping the ante and separating the men from the boys by going in the one place where very few people in the business ever dream of going and most are scared to death of doing: a 60-minute Iron Man Match. He asks The Rock if he can go the distance, and proclaims that the one with the most falls will become the WWF Champion, then tells The Rock to look deep down inside and see if he can hang, as he knows that he can, and asks if he can accept that the truth will be told when he is on his back one hour later and looking into his eyes knowing that he can't hang with him. Vince then takes the microphone, but he is almost immediately interrupted by Chris Jericho. Jericho apologizes to Vince for being impulsive, following his heart and punching him in the face last week, saying it was instinct much like how the fans call Shane a "pussy", how Stephanie is a "filthy, dirty, disgusting, skanky, brutal bottom-feeding trash bag ho" or Vince is a multi-billionaire to make up for the fact that he has a very small penis. Vince says there is nothing stopping him and everyone else in the ring from coming up the ramp and kicking Jericho's ass, but Rikishi, Big Show and The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up, and everyone backs up. Vince tells Jericho he is misinformed, as he has "a set of grapefruits down there" and grapefruits grow on trees. He says that every tree has a trunk and that Jericho will be wishing he was dangling from the end of his trunk by the end of the night before making him defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Kurt Angle before guaranteeing that Jericho will not be leaving the arena with the title. Shane asks Big Show what he is doing on the stage following his actions from last week, and says he is acting like a fool by pretending to be different characters before proclaiming that they will settle the score once and for all. Vince then puts The Dudley Boyz in a Tables Match against Gerald Brisco and puts Rikishi in a match against Pat Patterson. He then says there is a fine line between insanity and genius, and that the fans will be reminded of his "superior mental acumen" before the night is over.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle says he is honored that the McMahon-Helmsley has picked him to take the WWF Intercontinental Championship from Chris Jericho tonight, and that he is privileged to defend the honor of Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, as Stephanie possesses something that nobody in Long Island, New York never could: class. He also says that when Jericho insults Stephanie, he insults everything that is good and pure about society today.

Chris Jericho retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Kurt Angle with the Walls of Jericho. After the match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon - who is irritated with Jericho's title victory - is confronted by Big Show, and Shane tells Big Show that he did not want to take him on himself, and that he wanted him to be angry and focused so he can become a champion again - especially with him in his corner - as he tells him that he has a match with Jericho for the Intercontinental title while taking a call from his stockbroker.

Before the next match, it is announced that Chyna will be on Good Morning America tomorrow morning. Also before the match, The Godfather says that when Lita ripped Chyna's clothes off at Backlash, she was "smokin'," and that she impressed The Godfather so much that he is willing to let go of all of his hos if Chyna joins the ho train. Chyna entertains the idea before telling him to take his women to the back as she smacks him with the roses in her hands.

Eddie Guerrero beats The Godfather. During the match, D'Lo Brown gets in the ring and hits The Godfather with a Sky High as Chyna distracts referee Tim White to give Eddie the win.

After the match, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James and Tori show up to stop Gerald Brisco from being attacked further. Brisco grabs a table and puts Buh Buh Ray through it with a splash from the top rope.

We see another "judgment day" vignette.

Chris Jericho retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship by count-out. During the match, footage of Shane telling his stockbroker that he has Big Show "wrapped around [his] finger" is played on the TitanTron, which turns Big Show against WWF co-owner Shane McMahon to the point that he chases him to the back, giving Jericho the count-out win. After teh match, Shane runs into a limousine to get away from Big Show. Afterwards, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon tells WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley that he will keep his promise and guarantee that Jericho will not walk out of the arena as a champion by putting him in his third title defense of the night against Chris Benoit.

Too Cool (Grandmasta Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) beat The Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan. After the match, Boss Man and Buchanan continue to attack Too Cool until The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) go after them. Too Cool then dances afterwards.

In the locker room, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko have an argument, and Chris Benoit steps between them to tell them top stop. Eddie Guerrero shows up and says that Saturn is just as talented as everyone else in the room and will get a title shot eventually before saying that Chyna might be able to introduce someone to Malenko, but Malenko and Saturn brush him off.

The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The Radicalz (Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn) after Saturn inadvertently superkicks Malenko. After the match, Malenko and Saturn argue again, and Eddie Guerrero and Chyna show up in time to get attacked by Malenko and Saturn. Referees have to get involved before everything gets even more physical.

After the match, Pat Patterson strips down to his underwear - complete with a brown stain on the back - and puts the Stinkface on Rikishi. Patterson and DX are then chased out of the ring by Grandmasta Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty.

Triple H introduces himself as "the self-appointed special troubleshooting referee who will be on the outside" for the next match.

Chris Benoit beats Chris Jericho to become the WWF Intercontinental Champion! During the match, Benoit gets in an argument with the referee, and special troubleshooter Triple H gets in the ring to confront Benoit only to punch out the referee and take his place. Later on in the match, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley shows up, and Triple H focuses on her while Benoit taps out to the Walls of Jericho. Jericho stomps Triple H for not paying attention, and Triple H attacks Jericho from behind before calling for the bell as soon as Benoit locks in the Crippler Crossface despite Jericho never tapping out. After the match, the McMahon-Helmsley regime shows up, and X-Pac and "Road Dogg" Jesse James joins Triple H in a post-match attack on Jericho that ends in a Pedigree. Stephanie also slaps Jericho in the face, and WWF Chairman Vince McMahon is about to hit Jericoh with a steel chair when Big Show, Too Cool (Grandmasta Sexay, Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikishi Fatu) and The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) chase the McMahon-Helmsley regime out of the ring to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for December 16, 1999

In footage from earlier today, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon announce that WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon are not here tonight. Triple H says there was concern over last Monday night, but he and Stephanie had to assert themselves. From now on, things will be handled a little bit differently and more fairly. Some people have felt that they have been held down in the past; those people will be given a chance to shine. There are others who have had everything handed to them on a silver platter; tonight, that platter gets taken away. From top to bottom, everybody will be treated fairly. Tonight, Mankind will face Al Snow one-on-one following their problems. Also, The Rock will face Big Show for the WWF Championship. Triple H announces that tonight marks the dawn of a new era: the McMahon-Helmsley Era.

Before the next match, The Big Boss Man says that if people think what he did to Al Snow was bad and what he did to Big Show was cruel, then they should just wait until he deals with everyone else in the World Wrestling Federation. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up and tells Boss Man he must be sure his mother once told him not to say anything at all if he can't say anything nice. He then tells Boss Man that if he cannot say something entertainment, then he should shut the hell up, as while he is boring all the Jerichoholics, he is standing in the back waiting to show off his new and improved "Inter-Chris-tinental" belt. Since Boss Man is in the ring with Prince Albert, he might as well destroy them both Ayatollah-style. Shortly after the match starts, however, Chyna and Miss Kitty show up to watch the match from ringside. We then see Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon wining and dining backstage while watching the show, and we find out that neither of them booked the current match.

Chris Jericho beats Big Boss Man and Prince Albert in a 2-on-1 handicap match. During the match, Big Boss Man tosses his nightstick to Prince Albert, then Chyna gets in the ring and hits Albert with a low blow. Jericho hits Albert with the nightstick, then hits the Lionsault to get the win. After the match, Triple H says that he can never get into what women are into. When WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon asks what that means, Triple H says it's just an expression, Stephanie decides to head to ringside to check somebody out. That somebody ends up being Kurt Angle (whom Triple H calls "an ostrich jerky salesman," a reference to Angle being a spokesperson for Ostrim, a beef jerky product made out of ostrich meat), who is facing Test. When Triple H hears Test's name, Triple H tries to stop her.

Triple H tells WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon that she is not going anywhere, and that is final. He does not trust Test for a second and he does not know what is capable of. Stephanie says she knows Test, but Triple H says she knows Test too well, and they are going to drink champagne and have a good time. Stephanie says she's going anyway, and Triple H can go drink by himself.

WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon guests on commentary for the next match. She now prefers to go by the name Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley at this point.

Kurt Angle beats Test by disqualification. During the match, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley calls for the bell and has Test disqualified for using a closed fist on Kurt Angle.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 3, 1999

RAW

The show starts with the entrance of The Corporate Ministry. Shane calls them the most omnipotent force in the WWF, and says he will not be held responsible for anything that happens to anybody who gets in their faces. He knows that people are calling him ruthless and saying he has a black heart, and that he has no compassion He draws a line there, because he knows and understands what compassion is for the fans, and that he does not expect the fans to show any for him as none of them can walk in his shoes. He says he has compassion and knows what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck, then drawn one's sorrows in the cheapest vodka from the liquor store every Friday night, hate one's boss, and hate one's wife He says there is a word that compassionate people like him call those people: losers. Shane says he has the looks, money and brainpower, and asks who in the crowd could fathom the power he possesses. Whether it be WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin or The Rock, it feels good to seize the power and crush the opposition at any time. He asks who in the crowd who would have "balls the size of grapefruits" to slap their maker in the face, and says not a single person would be able to do it. "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley takes the microphone and addresses The Rock, whom he calls "a crock" and "a big farce," saying The Rock's fate is in his hands at Over The Edge. He says the people call him "The People's Champ," and says it speaks volumes about how the people worship "a piece of crap" just because he can raise an eyebrow, drop an elbow and think of catchphrases and marketing ploys for everybody. He says The Rock keeps singing his songs and doing his comedy routines, but at Over The Edge, there will be nothing funny about how he ends The Rock's career. The Undertaker then takes the microphone and says it is really simple: he hates everyone, but Austin's name is on the top of the list, asking who he thinks he is by trying to be everyone's savior. The Undertaker says he let Austin go his own way and co-exist, but now, he will be the judge, jury and executioner. At Over The Edge, he will take Austin's title, beat Austin like he has never been beaten before, and then carry his carcass over the shoulder and take him to Raw where he will be the ultimate sacrifice to a power even greater than he. He says that Austin will now he is the Lord of Darkness, and there is nothing Austin or anybody else can do about it. Shane tells Austin to remember that he will witness the pinfall first-hand, as he will be the special guest referee for that match and The Undertaker will be WWF Champion. Shane then address WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, telling him he has two hours to get here, because he has his master plan and the last piece of the puzzle. Suddenly, Mankind, Test, Big Show and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock are on the stage with 2x4s. Mankind says that they worked for The Corporation at one time, and that Shane might as well call them "disgruntled former employees." He then tells Shane that the four of them have banded together to form a union. They may not have a fancy name, but there are a "union of people you oughta respect, son." Mankind then makes initials out of that, and decides to call the group "U.P.Y.O.U.R.S." (The Union of People You OUghta Respect, Son, which is known henceforth as "The Union.") Big Show walks down the ramp, Mankind stops him, and says that while Vince may have been an asshole, but when Vince was running the show, they were at least compensated for their work, and since Shane took over, their paychecks suck. Shane may think he may have their financial future in his hands, but if he messes with them, his testicles will be in theirs. Mankind then leads the charge, and all four men surround the ring. The Union lays waste to The Corporate Ministry. Shane escapes along with The Undertaker and tells The Union they have not seen the last of them, and that they are going down tonight.

"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beats X-Pac with a low blow to counter the Bronco Buster prior to the Fameasser. After the match, Billy Gunn grabs a steel chair, but "Road Dogg" Jesse James stops Billy Gunn. Gunn and Road Dogg then start brawling, and Road Dogg comes out on top. As Road Dogg checks on X-Pac, Gunn hits Road Dogg with the steel chair. Kane shows up, and Billy Gunn gets out of the ring and Kane gets in. Kane then helps X-Pac to the back.

We hear WWF co-owner Shane McMahon screaming from behind his dressing room, saying that there will be repercussions and that The Union is going down tonight.

The Corporate Ministry shows up again. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon says he has made a few changes to tonight's show, and tells everyone to throw away their show programs and formats. We then go backstage, where WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up with Stephanie McMahon and his wife, Linda McMahon. Two police officers flank them. Shane announces that The Big Boss, Viscera and Mideon will face Test in a 3-on-1 handicap match, and also puts Mankind in a hardcore match against The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw). "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley gets a match against "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, and Chyna is made the special guest referee after Tripe H whispers in his here. He then tells The Mean Street Posse (Rodney and Pete Gas) that he saw Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco backstage, and puts them in a match against Patterson and Brisco. Shane then announces that Big Show will be in a match against The Undertaker. He also makes an Evening Gown Match between Debra and Sable, with the loser being stripped to their bra and anties. As Vince's party watches from backstage, Triple H gives Shane more ideas. Shane then makes a match between The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H says that they should give credit where credit is due, and that they should up the ante on that match. Triple H whispers into his ear again, and Shane makes the match a special Lumberjack Match where the lumberjacks are none other than The Corporate Ministry. Shane then says he has one more slot open, but before he can mention it, Vince McMahon shows up. Stephanie, Linda and the two police officers follow, and Shane is surprised that his mother Linda is here. Vince tells Shane to stop now before he goes too far, but Shane says he has not even begun to go far enough as this is his time and he is running the show. Vince tells Shane that he is about to make a big mistake, and that he should think long and hard before he does. He tells Shane to get his stuff together, as his family is standing behind him. Shane tells Vince that if he wants to bring it, they can have a match, as he has taken his company out from under him and all he has to left to take is his ass. He tells Vince to think about the box office dollars he could be earning with such a match, but Vince is not interested. Vince says that if Shane won't listen to him or Stephanie, maybe he will listen to Linda. Linda doesn't say much before Shane tells her to shut up. Vince grabs Shane by the collar, and Shane dares Vince to have a go at him. Linda and Stephanie leave the ring, as does Vince, but Shane says "I can have him do it again." Shane then reveals he was the mastermind behind Stephanie's kidnapping, and that he did it so that Vince would leave the business and he could pick up the pieces. He even let The Undertaker into their house, which allowed for the pictures to be taken as well as the teddy bear to be taken. He also says he picked out the black dress that Stephanie was forced to wear. Vince runs into the ring, be he is attacked by The Corporate Ministry. After the Ministry leaves, Shane says he takes Vince running into the ring as a "yes." Vince screams back at him "You're damn right!"

Backstage, Linda McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco try to talk WWF co-owner Vince McMahon out of fighting his son, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon. Vince says he will kick Shane's ass, and he asks the policeman to take Linda and Stephanie to a hotel.

Before the next match, Rodney tells Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco to put down the Geritol and come down to the ring and face the music Mean Street style, as they are in the house and they will put them back in the old folks' home.

The Corporate Ministry is seen backstage leaving WWF co-owner Vince McMahon's office, assaulting him on their way out.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon dares his father, WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, not to keep him waiting. He says he knew Vince didn't have the guts to take him on, as he knew he could take him. He says that Vince took his daughter Stephanie McMahon and his wife Linda McMahon and skedaddled, and that Vince could not take him and face the facts that he runs the show now. He says it would please him so much to make his way to the ring, as he wants to annihilate him for the entire world to witness, but unfortunately, that will not happen now. Shane then asks the referee to raise his hand and declare him the winner, but Vince McMahon shows up, grabbing his left rib and obviously in no shape to fight. Vince falls halfway down the ramp, and Shane takes advantage by clothesline him before attacking him while he is down.

Vince McMahon beats Shane McMahon after he is able to fight back and hit Shane with a Stone Cold Stunner. The crowd calls Shane a loser after the match, and Shane tells Vince that this is far from over.

As soon as he gets Big Show in a sleeper, Big Show nearly goes unconscious. Bearer hands The Undertaker a baseball bat, and smashes it into the head of a dazed Big Show. After the match, The Undertaker continues to beat up Big Show, telling him that this is his show.

Before the next match, Sable is on the TitanTron. She says she would love to take Shane up on her offer of an Evening Gown Match, but she is at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion preparing for the photo shoot for her second Playboy cover. She says that she has a stunt double who will fill in for her, as she does not want to bruise her body. She also tells Debra not to rip her dress. The stunt double ends up being Nicole Bass. Debra wants none of her, and she immediately throws in the towel and takes her dress off. Nicole grabs Debra, but Jeff Jarrett saves the day by smashing a guitar into Nicole Bass' head. Val Venis runs in and sends Jarrett out of the ring, then walks out with Debra as Jarrett gives chase.

We see footage of Jeff Jarrett and Val Venis brawling backstage during the commercial break.

The Lumberjack Match between The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ends before it begins when The Corporate Ministry - who make up all the lumberjacks in this match - get in the ring only for Austin and The Rock to clean house. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up before the numbers game catches up to The Rock and Austin, but WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up and sends the entire locker room after The Corporate Ministry. The WWF locker room overwhelms The Corporate Ministry, but The Undertaker, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna end up getting their hands on The Rock. Austin almost saves the day after he comes out from underneath the stage - where he hid moments ago - and through the elevator shaft, but The Undertaker and Austin fight on the shaft as it comes down and smoke comes out. This leaves Triple H and Chyna alone with The Rock, and The Rock ends up fighting back. Austin comes back to get a piece of Triple H, but The Rock is knocked off the stage and into a table below while The Undertaker comes back and fights Austin again. The show ends with The Undertaker tosses Austin off the stage and into another table below.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 18, 1998

RAW

WWF owner Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson show up. As a result of Vince's devastating clothesline delivered to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last week on Raw, Austin has supposedly suffered a mild concussion. Vince calls Austin "a spirited individual," and says he might try to get revenge on him, Brisco or Patterson. He then says that revenge would be nothing compared to the injury he might suffer at their hands, and that therefore, for Austin's protection, has barred Austin from the arena tonight. We then see footage from earlier tonight of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin not being allowed into the building by a security guard whom Austin allows five minutes to reconsider as only Austin himself would allow, telling him they can do this the easy way or the hard way. Vince then introduces Dude Love to the ring as the next WWF Champion. Dude Love finds it ironic that as Austin's reign comes to an end that the Dude only becomes stronger as he looks younger, handsomer and more well-educated every day. He says that May 31st will be a night where dreams come true for everyone, especially for Brisco, Patterson and McMahon when Austin's reign is finally ended, and also especially for himself when he becomes a hardcore legend, the toughest S.O.B. in the WWF and the new WWF Champion. Vince then calls out Dustin Runnels for the burning of his Goldust attire last week, and Runnels shows up. Runnels' right knee is bandaged due to recent surgery. Vince confronts Runnels for blaming everything on him and tells him to take some accountability for his own life and that he gave him an opportunity as Goldust. Vince thinks Runnels wants to prove himself, and gives him an opportunity to prove himself tonight. If Runnels can beat Dude Love in the ring tonight despite having a recently worked-on right knee, he will be the #1 contender for the WWF Championship, but if he loses, he will be working without pay for 30 days. Runnels accepts, saying the sooner the better, and attacks Dude Love. The numbers game quickly catches up to runnels when Brisco and Patterson stomp on him, and referees and officials have to get Dustin Runnels out of the ring.

Jerry "The King" Lawler lets someone cloaked in a blue cloth out of a mini-van. It is not "Stone Cold" Steve Auustin, but reather someone who is sent to take care of Austin. Security checks the man out and lets him in.

After the commercial break, Jerry "The King" Lawler loses the guy in the blue cloak and finds him on a payphone on the WWF Superstar Line.

Val Venis beats 2 Cold Scorpio in his WWF debut with his dive from the top rope known as the Money Shot.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin approaches the security guard and deals with him the hard way, beating him up for not letting him in. He then makes his way into the arena.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin makes his way to the ring. He tells the crowd to give him a "hell Yeah," then says he'll crash the party any time he wants to, because if there's a Monday Night Raw, he's going to be there. He says that WWF owner Vince McMahon can pull the strings all he wants, but he's getting more and more pissed off with him every single day. Austin calls out McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson out so they can settle this once and for all, and if they don't show in 30 seconds, he'll tear up every camera they have. McMahon asks Austin who he thinks he is, breaking into "his" arena. Austin says he's the one looking at three jackasses dressed up in suits, and warns Patterson he will stomp a mudhole in his ass and walk it dry if he heads past the stage. He says he wants to talk to all three of them like men and does not want to fight them, and tells them to get in the ring. Vince still wants to fight Austin, and Austin watns them them not to take a step as they don't want a piece of him. Vince says he doesn't go a street fight in a suit like the one he, Brisco and Patterson are weraing, and asks Austin if he wants a street fight against the three of them. Austin then asks the crowd to give him a "Hell Yeah" if they want to see one. Patterson says he wants to take him on, saying Austin is an idiot and that he does not suck as Austin said on commentary two weeks. Brisco also wants a piece of Austin while showing immense loyalty for McMahon. McMahon allows Austin two out of the three of them, to allow for some fairness, but Austin says he'll put knots on all three of them before the night is over. Vince tells Austin he's looking at three musketeers, but Austin tells them they can all screw themselves and that two of them will get their asses whipped regardless of who shows up, and that's the bottom line.

We see another vignette for Edge.

Jerry "The King" Lawler catches his mystery man at the make-up booth.

Sable shows up before the next match, and asks "Marvelous" Marc Mero to come to the ring. She tells him she has been looking back on their relationship lately, and is allowing to let bygones be bygones, and if he can be an adult about it, they can have an amicable split and they can go their separate ways. Mero asks Sable if she wants to leave him, and Sable says yes. Mero tells Sable she forgot one detail. Two years ago, she signed a contract with him, which basically states that she is still his property and tells her to get in his corner "like a good little girl." Sable realizes he won't be an adult and will hold her hostage, and Mero warns her that she will sue her for everything she has and for every cent she's made under him.

Terry Funk beats "Marvelous" Marc Mero. After Terry Funk pushes referee Jack Doan to the ground, Mero hits a low blow followed by a TKO, but Sable distracts the referee, calling Mero out for his low blow and allowing Terry Funk to hit Mero with a DDT to get the win.

WAR ZONE

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

Jerry "The King" Lawler heads to the ring with the person in the blue blanket when he comes to the commentary table, and says he has the man in the blanket with him to protect him in case he is jumped at the commentary table.

Before the next match, X-Pac says there are a lot of WWF Superstars looking at the monitor, and says D-Generation X ("Triple H" HUnter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) "got game." Triple H says he's a hell of a hummer, as he can bang the skin. He tells the ladies that if he's not too enthralled with the show, they can swing around to the back and twirl his stick while he's beating the tom-tom. Road Dogg tells "The Rock" Rocky Maivia and Owen Hart that if he and Billy Gunn are just going to let them have the tag titles, they've got another thing coming, as law around here is DX law, and he who breaks the law goes back to the house of pain. Triple H tells "The Rock" that if he messes with them, it won't be "know your role," instead, it will be "shut your hole." When The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) show up, they all go after D-Generation X, and referees and officials have to restore order.

He announces that he can say without a doubt that Paul Bearer is the biological father of Kane. Kane and Paul Bearer show up, and says he's the fat man who tells the truth and not the little boy who cried wolf. He tells The Undertaker that he was telling the truth about Kane being alive and Kane being his son, and then tells The Undertaker that his mother was "nothing but a damn two-bit whore, and that's the truth." The Undertaker comes out from the back, beats up Paul Bearer, then choke slams Kane before beating up Paul Bearer some more. Kane gets back up, and he and Paul Bearer attack The Undertaker until Vader runs in and goes at it with Kane. The Undertaker leaves the ring and goes after Paul Bearer, who runs to the back.

Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco show up for the main event Street Fight, while WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter is announced as the special guest referee for the match.
