"Stone Cold" Steve Austin get stopped by a parking lot attendant before he can park in a limousines-only VIP parking lot, and he does a donut before speeding off.
WWF owner Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco show up to start tonight's show. Vince says he has a reputation as a street fighter and has not lost a street fight, and before he locked up with his opponent, he told him what he would do to him before going out and do it. He then offers "Stone Cold" Steve Austin the same opportunity, and tells him that if he can find the employee's parking lot, he will give him 30 minutes to come into the ring and stand face-to-face with him so he can tell Austin what he will do to him at Royal Rumble. As far as Mankind is concerned, he knows that Mankind is preparing for his WWF Championship defense tonight, and to make sure there are no excuses when Mankind says "I quit," Mankind will be in a "tune-up match," and he announces that Mankind's opponent will be a mystery as Mankind watches backstage.
A black limousine pulls up at the arena. When it opens up, a very larged masked man clad all in black comes out of the limousine and follows Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco into the arena.
We see a series of figures in a dark room before the next match.
The J.O.B. Squad (Bob Holly and 2 Cold Scorpio) beats Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor). After the match, The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) and Mideon run in and attack everyone in the ring, then The Undertaker appears with Paul Bearer and two Druids after they clear the ring out, and announces that later tonight, the lambs will be led to the slaughter and he will choose his next victim. He says the choice shall be clear: accept the darkness and the everlasting life that it possesses, or subject yourself to torment and pain, for what he has to offer is nothing else. He says there are 30 men who stand waiting to fight, but you must concern yourself with only one thing. He asks if you will accept the Lord of Darkness as your savior and allow the purity of darkness to guide you.
Backstage, Mankind tells Shane McMahon that he is mistaken when he says he will be whimpering the words "I Quit," and says it will be The Rock who screams the words "I quit, I quit, I quit!"
Michael Cole interviews Sable in the ring. Sable says that Luna Vachon deserves a shot at the WWF Women's Championship, but Luna has now made it personal. She says that if Luna wanted a title shot, all she had to do was ask, and she would have given it to her. All of a sudden, Luna Vachon shows up and attacks Sable before targeting her lower back. Luna retreats are referees and officials rush into the ring to check on Sable.
Sable is checked on by an EMT backstage.
WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up again. He announces that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is not showing up as Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson join him in the ring. Soon after, a white Cadillac limousine with monster truck tires run over the cars in the VIP parking and makes its way to the arena. Austin climbs out of the driver's seat and makes his way to the ring, and Vince says he has only one thing to Austin. Austin shows up, and Vince says he has only thing to say to him before slapping him and running away. Austin then throws Patterson and Brisco out of the ring.
The Rock shows up backstage and gives the person holding his bags a hard time.
Mankind beats his mystery opponent by disqualification after The Rock and Shane McMahon interfere to attack Mankind as Mankind has the Mandible Claw on his mystery opponent, who is revealed to be none other than Mabel. As The Rock and Shane stomp Mankind, the show cuts to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco rubbing body oil on WWF owner Vince McMahon backstage to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 6, 1998
RAW
The Undertaker shows up to start tonight's show. He calls out "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, demanding a shot at the WWF Championship right now. Michael Cole is seen on the TitanTron, looking for Austin backstage to see if he will answer the challenge. Michael Cole finds him, but Austin is in no mood to talk as he makes his way to the ring. Austin gets in the ring, but WWF owner Vince McMahon angrily interrupts, and says the inmates are attempting to run the asylum. Vince says nobody named him the #1 contender, and asks Austin who the hell he thinks he is, defending the WWF Championship whenever he wants against whomever he wants. Vince tells Austin he defends the title when he says so, and against an opponent of his choosing. However, since both men are so hell-bent to get it on, he is inclined to allow that to happen at Fully Loaded, and he doesn't care if they tear each other apart. However, he takes it one step further, and says they will be a tag team instead of opponents when they face Kane and Mankind at the event. Also, since The Undertaker is so hell-bent on being #1 contender for the WWF Championship, Vince will name a #1 contender for the title, and everyone will hang on his every word. Vince then salutes Austin with the middle finger, lest anyone misunderstand how he feels about Austin being WWF Champion. This enrages Austin, who heads right up the ramp to go after Vince.
Savio Vega beats Brakkus by points to continue to the next round of the Brawl For All Tournament.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats "Double J" Jeff Jarrett by disqualification after Mabel, who has not been seen in the WWF since 1995, jumps the guardrail, gets in the ring and attacks Shamrock. Edge is seen in the crowd during the match. After the match, it is feared that Ken Shamrock has suffered rib injuries at the hands of Mabel, but even then, Shamrock is able to get up under his own power.
Michael Cole interviews "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, who tells Cole he doesn't need his sympathy and challenges Mabel to a match tonight if he is any kind of a man.
Cader vs. Bradshaw comes to an end after Kane and Mankind attack both men. Before the match, it is announced that The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) will be defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against Kane and Mankind next week on Raw.
Paul Ellering is seen riding a motorcycle along with Skull and 8-Ball as they make their way to the ring before the next match, then guests on commentary to say that is time to write the final chapter of L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk), as they are prisoners of their own memories.
The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh).
D'Lo Brown, now wearing the chest protector to protect his torn pectoral muscles during the match - yet is also perceived to be giving D'Lo an edge during matches by being used as a weapon - beats Terry Funk after "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa punches Terry Funk in the back with a fist with his gold necklace wrapped around it in response for being knocked off the apron by Funk. After the match, The Undertaker shows up and fights off both D'Lo Brown and Kama Mustafa before choke slamming both men. Terry Funk grabs onto The Undertaker to pull himself up, but The Undertaker choke slams him, too.
WAR ZONE
WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up. Before he names a #1 contender for the WWF Championship, he asks for a few individuals to come to the ring: Mankind, Kane, and The Undertaker. All three of them head to the ring. Vince says that Mankind risked life and limb at King of the Ring, and that he feels his pain and his hurt before publicly thanking him for all he's done for the World Wrestling Federation. He then addresses Kane, saying he is one of the stupidest men he has ever seen in his life for his actions last week, which causes Kane to nearly attack him, but Vince tells him that a lot of people are forgiven for a lot of things around here, and admires the fact that Kane risked setting himself on fire if he lost at King of the Ring. Vince then addresses The Undertaker, whom he calls "an evil, diabolical excuse for a human being" for almost taking Mankind's life and setting Kane on fire in an Inferno Match at Unforgiven, but questions if The Undertaker knows he is better than "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and wants to be champion again more than than life itself. He then announces that the three of them will compete in a Triple Threat Match to see who the next #1 contender for the WWF Championship is.
Road Warrior Hawk and Darren Drozdov fight to a draw in the Brawl For All Tournament, with neither man advancing. During the match, Road Warrior Hawk loses his mouthpiece in the first round and Brawl For All referee Danny Hodge has to put it back in. It happens again in the third round, but Droz spits his mouthguard out and they go the rest of the round without their mouthguards.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero and Jacqueline show up, and Jacqueline speaks for the first time in the WWF. Jacqueline says she's been quiet long enough, and says she takes full responsibility for Mero losing last week. She knows Mero is the greatest boxer in the world, and blames their two-month anniversary where "they went 12 rounds" until "his tank was empty." Jacqueline goes on to say that Mero was deprived for a very long time before she met him, and says "Sable wasn't able" to fulfill his needs. Jacqueline says that Sable looks good, but that there's no motor under the hood, and couldn't shift into gear when Mero was ready to steer. Sable shows up, and tells Jacqueline she's got the story all wrong, and that she's always got the pedal to the metal but "Mark's tire was flat," and that Viagra wasn't around to keep his tank full. Jacqueline tells Sable the difference between them is that she's "100% woman" and knows what a man wants because she's got the goods, and that her body is prime real estate. Sable retorts by saying that the real question is "How many times have you rented it out?" Jacqueline calls Sable a skank, and tells her to prove it by challenging her to a bikini contest. Sable tells Jacqueline "Don't just blow it, show it" and that her bikini will be fully loaded and ready to drop the bomb on her.
Before the next match, Val Venis tells the crowd they are looking at the only man who has scored more times in Beaver Stadium than Joe Paterno.
Val Venis beats Dustin Runnels by disqualification after he is attacked from behind by Kaientai (DIck Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki). During the match, Edge is seen in the crowd again. After the match, Yamaguchi-san shows up with is wife, then Kaientai pick Val Venis up after attacking him and Yamaguchi-san tells Venis he is only have the man he is before slapping and mocking him.
The Nation of Domination shows up, but it is really D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) with impersonator Jason Sensation. Triple H is "The Crock" (a parody of "The Rock" Rocky Maivia, with "IC" in black tape stuck to the European Championship), Jason Sensation is Owen Hart, X-Pac is "Mizark Henry" (a parody of "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry complete with blackface and a fat suit), "Road Dog" Jesse James is "B-Lo" (a parody of D'Lo Brown with an umpire's vest with white tape in the center with the words "B-Lo" written on it in black), and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn is The Gunnfather (a parody of "The Godfather" Kama Mustafa). Chyna shows up as Chyna. Triple H makes a bathroom joke, then Road Dogg makes fun of D-Lo's top rope mannerisms before laying down face up in the center of the ring so that Triple H can make fun of The People's Elbow. Triple H then stops before elbow (with Road Dogg getting up) and says it when it comes to "The Crock" and the ladies, when he hits rock bottom, he has no choice but "to lay the smack down on himself." Road Dogg repeats the masturbation reference, then gets on the top rope and makes fun of D'Lo again. Jason Sensation says enough is enough and it's time for a chance, but nobody listens to him or cares what he thinks. He then asks what he is doing wearing his ridiculous outfit, as he looks like "a damn road sign" before asking if he is a school crossing. He then goes on to say he tried being a tough guy, but he just couldn't grow his damn beard in. He also says he is not a nugget, and that he is a black Hart, a winner and a soul survivor. He then says that if anyone smells what The Rock is cooking, it's him, and tells the crowd "Look how big my damn nose is!" he then asks if he is an aardvark. Road Dogg repeats the last question, then X-Pac gets on the microphone and says what The Rock is cooking "smells like shit" but he'll eat some anyway. Triple H says "Mizark" is "The World's Strongest Man," but asks how his pecs go all the way to his back. Road Dogg tries to repeat the last statement, but is told to shut up. He mocks D'Lo again anyway. DX then tells The Nation to suck it.
"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats Mabel after catching Mabel on the way down from the top rope, putting him in a Fujiwara arm bar and then floating over to the ankle lock. Shamrock snaps and refuses to let go of the hold after the match is over, and when WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter and referees try to calm him down, Shamrock lets go only to punch Mabel in the face a few times before scaring everyone off again. WWF owner Vince McMahon and Paul Bearer show up as everyone is on the way, and Vince congratulates Shamrock on the way to the commentary table to be special guest commentary for the next match.
No sooner does WWF owner Vince McMahon sit at the table does "Stone Cold" Steve Austin show up. Vince accuses Austin of stealing the spotlight from The Undertaker, Kane and Mankind, then Austin flips him off and also guests on commentary, wanting to know first-hand who the #1 contender to the WWF Championship. The Undertaker, however, fails to show up, and Vince leaves the table, sensing something is wrong. Vince McMahon tells ring announcer Tony Chimel to announce that The Undertaker is not here due to being "chickenshit," and that Vince has determined that the match to determine a #1 contender for the WWF Championship will be a one-on-one match between Kane and Mankind. Not only that, but it is a no-holds-barred and falls count anywhere in the building. Mankind sits near the stairs, saying he has given enough and will not give any more, as he will not fight his friend Kane. Vince rings the bell and tells Kane to fight Mankind. Kane gets out of the ring, grabs a steel chair, then smacks it into Mankind's head, driving it into the steel steps. Kane then rolls Mankind into the ring, drags him to the center of the ring, and pins Mankind with the Tombstone Piledriver cover. Kane then unmasks...and it's The Undertaker. The show immediately ends.

Vince McMahon interview Bam Bam Bigelow, who was disoriented and had to get 14 stitches in his upper lip after Royal Rumble. He is not angry about The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly beating him and Tatanka that night, saying "every dog has his day." It comes to light that he took exception to Lawrence "L.T." Taylor laughing at him due to the fact that L.T. is a retired professional athlete, and took offense to L.T. offering to shake his hand after laughing at him as Bam Bam Bigelow took it as an attack on his dignity. Bam Bam refuses to apologize, saying he doesn't care about his 30-day suspension, and challenges Lawrence "L.T." Taylor to a wrestling match anytime, anywhere.
Hakushi beats Ricky Santana.
"The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya beats David Sierra.
Ken Norton, Jr. of the San Francisco 49ers says he's going to WrestleMania 11 to celebrate his third consecutive Super Bowl win.

He also claims that he can put it on anybody, and that nobody is exempt from the policy, including himself. "The King" Jerry Lawler claims Backlund can't do it on him, but Backlund goes berserk and puts him in the Crossface Chicken Wing, and Lawler immediately says the magic words. Backlund then walks away, but Lawler says he only said he would quit the interview if Backlund didn't conduct himself properly. Backlund gets back into the ring ready to put Lawler in it again, but Lawler tricks Backlund by saying that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is approaching the ring. He isn't, of course, but it distracts Backlund just the same and just enough to allow Lawler his escape.
The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly after The Kid accidentally lands on his shoulder during a somersault senton and seemingly legitimately injures himself. Amazingly, it is announced after the commercial break that The Kid is able to get up and leave under his own power.
Kama beats Jumbo Beretta by submission in his Raw debut.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 14, 1994
Note: This episode is shown in its most complete form on the WWE Network due to original production technical difficulties. You can get some extra details on the matches not shown on the Network here and here.
"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase guests on commentary this week.
Bob Backlund beats The 1-2-3 Kid with the Crossface Chicken Wing, and refuses to let go. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up to go after Backlund to force the hold off of The Kid, and officials have to keep the two men from having a pre-Survivor Series brawl. Backlund gets the Crossface Chicken Wing ready on Hart, but can't lock it in and has to escape. Backlund tells Hart that he let the hold go just to remind Hart of what he will feel at Survivor Series, then leaves. Hart goes after Backlund, attacks him from behind, briefly puts him in the Sharpshooter, then tells Backlund he did that to him for the exact same reason and that he won't let out of it at Survivor Series. (The match was marred by original production technical difficulties, and the show starts with The Kid in the Crossface Chicken Wing on the WWE Network.)
Mabel beats The Black Phantom (who is called "The Blue Phantom" during the match).
Chuck Norris of Walker, Texas Ranger says he's ready to make sure history doesn't repeat itself when Yokozuna and The Undertaker have their second casket match. He tells Yokozuna not to get out of line, as he's watching his every move.

Irwin R. Schyster says he was fair in repossessing The Undertaker's headstone, and says that if 'Taker's beneficiaries paid the burial tax, he wouldn't have had to do what he did. He tells 'Taker that six feet under is not a tax shelter.
It's time for The King's Court. This week's guest is another king: "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, who is conspicuously without Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Owen is excited for Bob Backlund to fight his brother, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and says nobody knows Bret more than he does. He promises to Backlund that he will not throw the towel in at Survivor Series, and that Bret's side will be the one surrendering. Both Owen and "The King" Jerry Lawler come to the conclusion that Bob Backlund is technically still the WWF Champion. They then call out The British Bulldog, who shows up with the pink and black towel. Bulldog says that Hart is the champion, not Backlund, and will still be champion after Survivor Series. Owen tells Bulldog there's no chance for Bret to break out of the Crossface Chicken Wing, and that the Sharpshooter, while an excellent hold, is nothing compared to it. Owen then tells Bulldog to let Bret suffer and make him cry, then throw in the towel so Backlund can become the rightful champion again. Bulldog says that he will never throw in the towel no matter what, and tells Owen to dare Backlund to put Bret Hart in the Crossface Chicken Wing.
"The Portugese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya beats The Brooklyn Brawler in his Raw debut.
This Sunday night on USA Network is Sunday Night Slam, with "The King of Harts" Owen Hart vs. The British Bulldog and The Heavenly Bodies (Dr. Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Rey) vs. The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). (This announcement and the previous match are not on WWE Network.)

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for August 27, 1994
The show starts with Vince McMahon interviewing Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the ring. Bret says he never thought it would come to this, and that he remembers growing up in the Hart Dungeon with the rest of his brothers. He never thought he would be getting in the ring with his brother "The King of Harts" Owen Hart in a steel cage match, and while he admits Owen has come a long way, this is not the Hart Dungeon, this is no longer fun and this will be an ugly fight with a lot at stake. Bret knows that Owen wants the WWF Championship, but he says there is a lot of emotion, not just with them, but with the entire Hart family, and that this has to be done and this has to be settled once and for all. Bret then tells Owen that the best thing about a fifteen-foot-high steel cage is that Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart cannot get involved and neither can his family, as this match cannot be stopped. Bret then says it will be revealed who will become the WWF Champion, the true "King of Harts" and the best there is, was and ever will be.
When Bret "The Hit Man" Hart leaves, he is confronted by "The King of Harts" Owen Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Vince McMahon and numerous referees have to hold everyone back as Bret heads to the back.
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart beats Frank Stalletto with the Camel Clutch. After the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews "The King of Harts" Owen Hart and Neidhart, and Owen tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart that he knows that he is terrified and that it will all come to an end between them at SummerSlam when he hurts, humiliates and beats Bret to become the WWF Champion. He says that Bret was right when he says this is no longer fun, and that there will be a new WWF Champion this Monday night.
Mabel beats Barry Horowitz.
On the SummerSlam Report, Tatanka says that everyone will learn that Lex Luger has sold out to "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and that Luger's match last Sunday against Crush on Sunday Night Slam is proof of that. Lex Luger says Tatanka is jumping to conclusions, and that he did not ask DiBiase to get involved in his match; however, if there is an opening, he will take it as a competitor. He then says Tatanka has accused him of a lot of his things, and now he has gotten more than he has bargained for after questioning his strength and integrity.
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Duke "The Dumpster" Droese after using the ropes for leverage...almost. After the match, Oscar shows up and mentions that Jarrett put his feet on the ropes. Another referee then shows up and tells the first referee that both of Jarrett's feet were on the second rope, and the match is restarted. Jarrett responds by knocking Oscar off the apron with a cheap shot before trying to leave, but Mabel shows up before Jarrett can get to the back. Jarrett runs away from Mabel through the stands, and Duke "The Dumpster" Droese runs to the ring to beat "Double J" Jeff Jarrett by count-out.
T. Harris is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.
Razor Ramon beats Mike Collins.
In footage from earlier this week, we see another edition of The Heartbreak Hotel. Shawn Michaels addresses Razor Ramon and Walter Payton, saying he will run circles around them "like a ferret on a double expresso." He then brings out his next guests: "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and his Undertaker. DiBiase says he has produced something and put his money where his mouth is compared to Paul Bearer, whom DiBiase says has produced "hot air and cheap tricks." Shawn thinks Paul Bearer has a little trouble resurrecting courage after what happened on The King's Court, but DiBiase changes the subject by saying that at SummerSlam, his Undertaker will destroy whatever Bearer brings before destroying Bearer himself. Shawn then says that Bearer does not have the guts to confront them face to face, then the lights go in and out before Paul Bearer appears on the video wall. Bearer tells DiBiase to listen to him, as this Monday, his Undertaker will destroy DiBiase's Undertaker, as he has not only contacted his Undertaker, he has summoned him. The real Undertaker's voice is then heard around the arena, telling DiBiase that he vows to never rest in peace before demanding he bring his Undertaker to SummerSlam, so he can rise once again and destroy DiBiase's Undertaker once and for all.

He also says that if he beats Lawler, his winnings will go to a hospital for sick children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as Lawler called some sick children in said hospital "brats."
Crush beats Raymond Roy.
Duke "The Dumpster" Droese says he's coming to the World Wrestling Federation soon.
Doink beats Mike Terrace. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews "Double J" Jeff Jarrett via telephone, and Jarrett mocks Doink prior to their match.
We hear from Earthquake, who talks about his brief sumo career and his transition to the WWF. He says he has a lot to prove in the WWF, which is why he has returned.
It's time for The King's Court. After mocking "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's recent comments about him, he wishes Piper would be a guest on his segment so he can say them to his face. He then introduces this week's guests: Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Lawler and Cornette mock Earthquake's sumo career, and Cornette says that Earthquake only talks about what he can do when Yokozuna proves it in the ring on a regular match. Cornette accepts the challenge, and makes it a little more interesting: make the match a sumo match. Lawler doesn't think Earthquake will go for it, but loves the idea. Cornette asks Lawler to see if Earthquake will accept the challenge, as Lawler is the only one who can get the scoop.
The Undertaker has been seen again, this time by a lawn care company.
Mabel beats Mike Bell. During the match, Randy Savage reads a note left to him saying that Earthquake has accepted Jim Cornette's sumo match challenge against Yokozuna.
"The King" Jerry Lawler interviews Earthquake backstage. Lawler asks Earthquake if he's nuts, and Earthquake responds by scaring the crap out of Lawler and saying he'll kick Yokozuna's butt. Lawler keeps testing Earthquake, which causes Earthquake to scare the crap out of Lawler again.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for April 30, 1994
Mabel beats Jim Massenger. During the match, it is announced that Mr. Perfect has been suspended indefinitely for not abiding by his contract and refusing to face Lex Luger. (In reality, Mr. Perfect's back issues have flared up again, stopping a feud between him and Luger from taking place.)
Diesel beats Razor Ramon to become the WWF Intercontinental Champion after Shawn Michaels removes a top turnbuckle pad and Diesel whips Razor Ramon into the exposed turnbuckle before hitting the Jackknife Power Bomb for the win.
"The King" Jerry Lawler draws a truck running Razor Ramon over on the Magistrator.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg beats Tony DeVito. Nikolai Volkoff is seen in the crowd after the match.
On the very first King of the Ring, King of the Ring, which airs Sunday, June 19th, will feature the eight-man single-elimination King of the Ring Tournament. Eight qualifying matches will dictate who heads to the tournament, and the first one is Scott Steiner vs. Irwin R. Schyster on next week's Superstars.
We see a vignette for Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, who says he has a lot of cleaning up to do in the World Wrestling Federation. He tells the opposition to watch out, as he is coming to clean house.
The Heavenly Bodies ("Doctor" Tom Prichard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Delrey) beat Mike Khoury and P.J. Walker.
"The King" Jerry Lawler interviews Dink. Dink shows up with a hat on his head and a catcher's mitt and baseball in his hands, and Lawler keeps the microphone out of his hands as he proceeds to make fun of him. Suddenly, Doink shows up with a big red box in his hands, and inside the box is a pair of pies. Instead of pie facing Lawler, however, he pie faces Dink. Doink then sprays silly string into the crowd before spraying it at Dink, then pulls out whipped creams and gets it all over Dink as well. Dink falls off the interview platform, then Doink pulls off his wig and make-up to reveal that he is really "Double J" Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett tells Doink that he would take matters into his own and hands and take control of the situation, and that is what he just did. He then says that if Doink wants to make a joke out of him, then he can be the best clown of them all. He then says that who laughs last, laughs best.
Mike Colb is the special guest ring announcer for the next match.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Jason Headings. During the match, "The King" Jerry Lawler makes fun of "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's recent visit to the Hospital for Sick Kids in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Shawn Michaels and Diesel are seen leaving the arena in a white limo, where they stick their heads out of the sunroof at the back of the vehicle.
We see a traffic cop talk about a coffin falling out of a funeral procession vehicle and The Undertaker coming out of it.
Next week: "The Rocket" Owen Hart! The Heartbreak Hotel with special guest "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase! The 1-2-3 Kid! "Double J" Jeff Jarrett! Lex Luger! Scott Steiner vs. Irwin R. Schyster in a King of the Ring Tournament Qualifying Match!
