In memory of Rick Rude, 1958 - 1999.
Before the next match, D'Lo Brown calls out Val Venis, saying that tonight's match was supposed to be a mixed tag match between him and Ivory and the team of Venis and Sable only for Sable to bow out of the match due to "previous Hollywood engagements." D'Lo then says that's not his problem, and tells Venis to replace Sable or else he will have "one hell of a handicap match." Venis shows up and says he may not be a one-man band, but after he is through drumming him solo, he may just let Ivory play with his slide trombone.
Val Venis beats D'Lo Brown and Ivory in a two-on-one handicap match. During the match, Nicole Bass shows up and grabs Ivory by the hair before choke slamming her for the win, making herself Venis' tag team partner in the match in the process. After the match, Nicole Bass tells Val Venis owes her his slide trombone in her brass section. Venis runs away, but Nicole slowly walks after him.
The Ministry of Darkness is seen entering the arena backstage.
Backstage, Jim Ross interviews X-Pac, who says that tonight is an emotional match due to Triple H giving him the call to come back to WWF and that things are different now. He then says that if Triple H wants to sell out on everything they believed him, it is his business, but he did it at his expense, and tonight, he will find out that his worst enemies are the ones who used to be his friends.
Backstage, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviews Triple H, who said that his recent actions were a long time coming and that X-Pac decided he was the decision maker. He then says that they were D-Generation, and when he wanted to play in the big leagues, it was him who got him over, but when it came time for decisions for him to be made, he thought it was wrong. He then asks X-Pac who told him to think, which he says is not X-Pac's forte, and says that he will be leader, for it is about the pecking order and he will both make and break him.

Nicole Bass is seen still looking for Val Venis backstage, even going so far as to enter the men's bathroom. Meanwhile, Val Venis flees through a fire exit.

Backstage, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon tells Test to go home and cool off before arguing with The Big Boss Man.
WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up. He says that tonight is the dawning of a new era and the "Shane McMahon 2000 inaugural ball," and in honor of tonight's show, he has created a stipulation for tonight's WWF Championship Match between The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, stating that the match will be decided under no holds barred rules. Shane promises that he will call the match down the middle, then tells "Stone Cold" that if he even so much as lays a hand on him, he will disqualify him on the spot and award the WWF Championship to The Rock. He then asks the fans if they can feel, as his power is in full effect after having seized the power and realized it felt good, then tells his father WWF Chairman Vince McMahon that he is creating a new dynasty for the World Wrestling Federation and a new era and new standard of excellence, and that he is "damn proud of it." Shane then tells Austin that he has been with The Rock day in and day out and knows that The Rock is furious after Austin crushed his $37,000 Lincoln Town Car, and says that it will be electric this evening after what has happened between The Rock and Austin. As Shane finishes talking, a black limousine pulls up outside of the arena, and Vince McMahon comes out of the limo with Stephanie McMahon to end the show.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for February 28, 1999
Note: During the show, there were technical difficulties due to the mix of rain and snow in Dayton, Ohio, and only the audio could be heard. After Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) vs. Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett, last week's episode of Sunday Night Heat was broadcast, with the results of the rest of the current show being available on WWF.com. When the episode was brought to the WWE Network, the episode appeared as intended to be shown with the aforementioned technical difficulties absent.
The show begins with Gillberg heading to the ring for a match only for him and his security team to be attacked by Chyna. Chyna makes her way to the ring, laying out Gillberg and the two men carrying sparklers on the stage before entering the ring and telling "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley - who is in the locker room watching the show with X-Pac - that he has laid his hands on her for the last time. She says that while her time is valuable, Triple H does not add up to the price anymore and that she will finish this one-on-one once and for all. She started this story, and now she plans to end it by knocking Triple H stiff. Triple H tells X-Pac that if Chyna wants her, she's got it.
Backstage, Shane McMahon tells Chyna that she will annihilate "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Chyna responds by grabbing Shane by the shirt collar, shoving him against the wall and telling him that she will kill Triple H.
Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) beat Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett. During the match, D'Lo Brown and Ivory show up, distracting Owen Hart and Debra and allowing The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) to attack Owen as referee Jimmy Korderas is pre-occupied with Jeff Jarrett and Scott Taylor outside of the ring. After the match, D'Lo takes the microphone and says it is not over between them, Debra, Owen and Jarrett, then says Ivory has something to say to Jacqueline. Ivory says that last week, Jacqueline put her hands on D'Lo, and while D'Lo is a gentleman, she is not and she will put her hands on her. Ivory gives Jacqueline two minutes to get in the ring as she takes off her jacket to reveal a purple bustier underneath. After the commercial break, Ivory and D'Lo are still waiting for Jacqueline.
The newest issue of Playboy with Sable on the cover - and nude inside of the magazine - will be on newsstands next week.
Jacqueline and Terri Runnels show up, and Ivory and Jacqueline immediately go at it.
Ivory beats Jacqueline with a DDT after rolling out of the way of a top rope splash from Jacqueline.
Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Kurrgan, who is with the rest of The Oddities (Golga, Giant Silva, George "The Animal" Steele). Kurrgan says he just wants to dance with The Undertaker.
WrestleMania 15 is only four weeks away!
The Blue Meanie is seen feeding Goldust grapes backstage.
The Undertaker quickly beats Kurrgan. After the match, The Ministry of Darkness outnumber and overpower the rest of The Oddities (Golga, Giant Silva, George "The Animal" Steele) in the ring as they try to check on Kurrgan, all while The Undertaker watches. The Undertaker then tells WWF owner Vince McMahon that he was informed that Vince was unable to be here tonight, and says that word will get back to him about the carnage The Ministry they leave here tonight that is a reminder that tomorrow night, he has something in store for Vince. He also tells Vince he will own the WWF just like he owns Vince: mind, body and soul.
Michael Cole interviews Goldust and The Blue Meanie in the ring. Goldust questions Michael Cole's morality when he calls their alliance a "relationship," and when told that he has had an effect on The Blue Meanie, Goldust responds that maybe The Blue Meanie has had an effect on him. He says that The Blue Meanie wants to be like him, as he idolizes him like a son would to his father, and says that while he may not be The Meanie's real father, he "could be his mommy," saying he could care for him and shield him from all of "the evil, angry place in which we live." He then buries Michael Cole's head into his chest as he says that when The Meanie's head is nuzzled deep between his bosom, then and only then, he knows that "his mommy is here," and tells Michael Cole to re-examine his values when Cole says that he is sick. Goldust says that he is not The Blue Meanie's mother yet, but he can already feel the labor pains. Goldust and The Blue Meanie then crawl out of the ring together.
Backstage, Michael Cole interviews "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman, who is in a Kendo Stick Match against Droz tomorrow night on Raw. He questions Droz's audacity for challenging him to such a match and says he is "The Lethal Weapon" for a reason. He is then attacked from behind by Droz with a Kendo stick.
Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Flyboy Rocco) beat The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) after putting Matt Hardy through a table. At the beginning of the match, The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, Christian) show up on the stage to watch the match from a distance, distracting Public Enemy at the beginning. After the match, The Brood attacks Public Enemy as referees run in to restore order.
Before the next match begins, X-Pac chases Shane McMahon around the ring and into the crowd, distracting "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and allowing Chyna to land the first blow. As Triple H hits the facebreaker knee smash and goes for the Pedigree, the lights go out and Kane shows up. Triple H lets go of Chyna to confront Kane, but Chyna hits Triple H with the low blow from behind and Kane hits Triple H with two choke slams followed by a Tombstone Piledriver to end the show.
The show begins with Gillberg heading to the ring for a match only for him and his security team to be attacked by Chyna.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for February 21, 1999
WWF owner Vince McMahon and Kane show up to start tonight's show, and Vince is seen carrying an envelope with him. Vince says that WrestleMania is in five weeks, and in five weeks, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will attempt to win the WWF Championship against The Rock, and that Paul Wight will be the special guest referee for the match. Vince tells Austin that there is a price to pay for getting in his face, and that The Undertaker has not learned that yet, saying 'Taker's comments have not fallen under deaf ears even though he was distracted by Austin. He says that The Ministry of Darkness taking over the WWF is a pretty tall order, but he hears The Undertaker loud and clear following the abduction of The Big Boss Man and his son Shane McMahon, the latter being humiliated and made into "an errand boy" by The Undertaker. Vince says he has read the contents of the envelope in his hand, and tells The Undertaker that he does not threaten him like he did, as he will not stand idly by. He then announces that on Raw, The Undertaker will be in an Inferno Match against Kane, saying it will not stop until The Undertaker is set on fire. Vince says the hell that The Undertaker knows will soon seem like Heaven for threatening him like he did, and Kane summons fire that envelopes the ring as Vince tells The Undertaker to burn in Hell.
Backstage, Shane McMahon runs up and down a small step of stairs while being coached by Chyna.
Mankind is seen entering the arena.
Darren "Puke" Drozdov guests on commentary for the next match despite being suspended from the World Wrestling Federation.

Before the next match, Shane McMahon promises to defend the WWF European Championship against any and all comers any time and anywhere, and demands that his first opponent be brought out. His first opponent is none other than Gillberg.
Shane McMahon retains the WWF European Championship against Gillberg by using the European title as a weapon following a Spear by Gillberg as Chyna distracts the referee. After the match, Gillberg goes for another Spear only to run into Chyna with no effect and fall victim to the Pedigree. Afterwards, X-Pac shows up and says he could have sworn that Shane said against any competitors, anytime and anywhere. He entertains kicking his ass right here and now, but proposes they have a match at WrestleMania 15 so the whole world can watch him destroy Shane. Chyna tells X-Pac he does not get to the champ that easily, and if he wants to go through Shane, he'll have to get through her on Raw. X-Pac says he swore he would never hit a woman, but he is man enough and so is Chyna, and he accepts her challenge.
Backstage, Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett and Debra are seen having a private conversation, much to the chagrin of Owen Hart.
Al Snow beats D'Lo Brown with head after Debra shows up and distracts referee Teddy Long, allowing Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett to attack D'Lo from behind at ringside. After the match, Owen and Jarrett continue to attack D'Lo Brown.

Mankind shows up. He says he feels just a little bit naked coming out without the WWF Championship, and if he is not sure if this is a very good thing. As he laid in his hotel room, he began to think that WrestleMania was his best shot at giving the fans a match they would never forget, and he feels that it has been taken away from him, and at this time next year, he is not sure if he will be around to wrestle. He has begun plans for after he is done wrestling in the WWF, but has nothing on his resume other than get hit in the head with steel chairs for the last fifteen years. Some of his ideas including becoming a mailman (though he feels he does not look good in shorts), a jet pilot (though he does not like the taste of hard liquor) or even going to World Championship Wrestling (although he's not old enough to head there quite yet). However, he knows what to do and where to do it, and says that the main event of WrestleMania 15 is crying for two referees, as he is universally respected and can count to three in four different languages. He then shows the petition that has been in his hand all along and asks for WWF Commissioner "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels to give him the job and the Chatanooga, Tennessee crowd to give him 10,000 signatures so that the fans can send Mankind to WrestleMania.
Viscera vs. The Big Boss Man ends in a no-contest. During the match, The Big Boss Man summons Kane, Test and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock to attack Viscera along with him, then the lights go out and fire envelopes the ring while The Ministry of Darkness is at ringside. The Undertaker tells The Corporation (Boss Man, Kane, Test, Shamrock) to deliver a message to Vince McMahon: he may burn in Hell, but if he does, Vince McMahon will go with him.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for January 24, 1999
"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.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for November 22, 1998
The Rock shows up along with WWF owner Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, The Big Boss Man, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to start tonight's show. Vince says he resents the fact that many of the fans have publicly stated that had it not been for The Undertaker last week on Raw, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would have defeated The Rock for the WWF Championship. He says The Rock was "just warming up" and had not even broken "a corporate sweat," and to show just what kind of competitor The Rock is, The Rock has decided to defend the WWF Championship at the next pay-per-view, appropriately named Rock Bottom, against Mankind. Vince says The Rock is not backing up for anybody, and as far as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is concerned, there is "no chance in Hell" that Austin will ever again become the WWF Champion; however, The Undertaker gave him an idea when he almost decapitated Austin with the shovel last week. He announces that at January's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, he will be one of the 30 participants in the Royal Rumble, assuming he qualifies by beating The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match. Vince then addresses the fans who claim he has too much power by announcing that Sgt. Slaughter has stepped aside as WWF Commissioner so that Vince can announce "an independent, free-thinking, new WWF Commissioner" for them.
Michael Cole gets some shocking news through his headset during the commercial break. After the break, he announces that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin suffered a blackout after his match earlier this afternoon in San Jose, California. Jim Ross says that updates will be forthcoming.
The Jackal guests on commentary for the next match and introduces The Acolytes - Faarooq and Bradshaw - who immediately lay out both Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy), which reveals why Faarooq and Bradshaw are suddenly teaming together. Referees show up to try to keep them from doing any more damage.
Michael Cole and Jim Ross interview senior WWF official Jack Lanza via telephone, who says that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin had been suffering from dizziness and headaches all day long, and after his match this afternoon, he blacked out. He was taken to the medical center in San Jose and appears to be okay, but he is being examined right now.

Backstage, Kevin Kelly interviews L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Darren "Puke" Drozdov). Despite Road Warrior Hawk not being critically injured despite being pushed off the top of the TitanTron in what appears to be a suicide attempt, Droz says the old L.O.D. would dwell on the past, but the new L.O.D. 2000 - he and Animal - are shooting towards the future and ready to show every other team in the WWF that they can take control, throw them all in a blender, hit "puree," and turn them into "a chopped-up pile of fly-infested goo" in a Hawk-styled promo.
The Big Boss Man beats "Marvelous" Marc Mero after Jacqueline grabs Mero's leg, thinking she is grabbing The Big Boss Man's, allowing Boss Man to hit the Boss Man Slam for the win. After the match, Mero grabs the microphone and says she brought Jacqueline to take care of Sable, and from what he has seen, Sable has taken care of her. He says that Jacqueline is a thorn in a side, that this is the last match she will cost him, and to "say bye-bye to The Marvelous One."
Mankind is seen carrying a leaf blower on his way to the ring backstage.
Mankind shows up carrying a leaf blower. He says it has been a little while since he has had a chance to voice his opinion, and tonight, he would like to talk just a little bit about family and the pain that results following a break-up of that family. He asks WWF owner Vince McMahon to feast his eyes on the leaf blower, for it could have been his, and says that he put a nice little bow on it as he was saving it for Father's Day. He says that when the leaves lay on the ground all winter long, causing a detriment in the nitrogen level with the resulting decaying leaf matter leading to poor oxygen levels in the soil and making Vince's lawn the laughingstock of Greenwich, Connecticut, not to blame him, because from now on, he is now divorcing his family. Mankind says he can take ridicule, take embarrassment and forgive just about everything, but he will not forgive him for making him where the tuxedo shoes that he is wearing right now. He takes the shoes and throws them into the audience as a sick reminder of the sorriest day of his life, makes a Mark McGuire joke, then asks where Mr. Socko is. He says that Mr. Socko is not lost; as a matter of fact, he is on his left sock and he will continue to stay there, un-laundered and festering, until he finds his final resting place: the bottom of Vince McMahon's gullet. Vince and Shane McMahon show up, and Vince asks Mankind to understand that he is "a living, breathing personification of the fact that you cannot shine shit." He also says it hurts him deeply that Mankind cannot understand that love hurts and that he is left with no alternative but to show how badly it will hurt, for tomorrow night on Raw, he will defend the WWF Hardcore Championship against "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and The Big Boss Man in a Triple Threat Match. He then sarcastically tells Mankind "Have a nice day!" before he and Shane leave.

Michael Cole and Jim Ross interview senior WWF official Jack Lanza, who says that Austin is resting well and undergoing a battery of tests, but nothing is confirmed other than the fact that he has a concussion.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Val Venis by disqualification after Mankind hits him in the back with a leaf blower.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for November 8, 1998
Before the next match, Scott "Too Hot" Taylor says he loves "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher before they both hug. When Al Snow shows up, he says the time for fun and games is over and that this business operates on two principles: the carrot and the stick. He says some people are tired of getting the stick, and that is why there is a secret organization in WWF fighting to get a push.

He says it is business, not personal, and that he personally has a problem with the people.

He does not personally care for The Rock, and calls him another piece of meat on the WWF roster. He also says he does not care about the people and that the feeling is mutual.

Fans who come in early get a free Survivor Series Deadly Games temporary tattoo while supplies last. We hear from Goldust, who tells Val Venis that he is the original Goldust and not a sequel, and that Val Venis will receive an Oscar-caliber beating this Wednesday night October 21st, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We also hear from Mankind, who says that while Kane is a monster, he has no idea what he has gotten himself into, as he has made "no holds barred" into an art form. Mr. Socko says that Mankind will kick Kane's ass on Wednesday night. Also, The Rock will take on Vader, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight), and X-Pac will take on D'Lo Brown for the European Championship.
The Godfather of The Nation beats Bradshaw.
Gangrel is in the ring with Christian. He says he knows Edge is out there, as he can smell his rage, and ever since their bloodlines first embraced, he knew he was something special. He says that this is why he is here with Christian, and that he is here to bring him home. Gangrel tells Edge his real family needs him, and while he can hide behind his anger, he cannot escape his destiny that was set upon him a long time ago. He goes on to say that the WWF is not his world and asks why Edge brought their world here, then promises he will not rest until he has Edge's rage and fury beside him where it belongs.

Before the next match, Al Snow grabs a microphone and yells "Attention, K-Mart shoppers! What does everybody want? What does every need?" The fans obviously chant "Head!" to both questions.

Vince's Got A Shotgun - Shotgun Saturday Night recap for October 10, 1998
Before the next match, Mr. Yamaguchi-san says WWF has been pushing Kaientai (Taka Michinoku, Sho Funaki, Men's Teioh, Dick Togo) to split up, and that they have chosen Sho Funaki as the #1 contender for Taka Michinoku's WWF Light Heavyweight Championship. He says that Kaientai will not split up, as they grew up together and will always be together.
Taka Michinoku retains the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship against Sho Funaki. After the match, Taka and Funaki go at it again, and the rest of Kaientai (Men's Teioh, Dick Togo, Mr. Yamaguchi-San) have to force them to shake hands.
Tiger Ali Singh and Babu show up. Singh says that over the past several weeks, he has accomplished his mission and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no limit for how low Americans will go to earn a dollar. He says that no task has been too degrading or too vulgar for the American people. As he speaks, Babu falls over, and Singh stomps on him for interrupting him before apologizing for Babu being deathly ill from a sinus infection. This gives Singh the idea to pay any American $500 to come to the ring and eat a booger from Babu's finger. Babu picks a man in a WWF Attitude shirt, and Babu sticks his finger in his nose to look for a booger, and pulls one out. The man eats the booger and swallows it, and is promptly paid $500.
Sable guest stars on Pacific Blue tomorrow night after Sunday Night Heat!

Bradshaw beats Darren "Puke" Drozdov after using the ropes for leverage. When Droz complains to referee Jack Doan, Bradshaw nails Droz with a clothesline.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero beats Miguel Perez.
Michael Cole interviews The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Gorga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva, Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope). Luna says that tonight, the entire world is going to learn that The Oddities aren't just a bunch of pretty faces. Violent J says he and Shaggy 2 Dope are not wrestlers, but they know it can get rough around here, and that he'll ride a bike up and down the backs of The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) if they have to.
The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) beat The Oddities (Golga and Kurrgan) by disqualification. During the match, Golga accidentally breaks the top rope, and The D.O.A. use it as a weapon.

"The Rock" Rocky Maivia shows up. He addresses the Ladder Match against "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley for the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam, and says he did to him what he said he was going to do. As he laid on his back and watched Triple H take the Intercontinental title, he realized that even though Triple H took the title, he will always be "The People's Champ." He then says that there a lot of people in the WWF who don't know their roles, and two of these people in particular are The Undertaker and Kane. Last week, when they showed up, he knew he was going to get his ass whupped, and tells Kane that for one second that he will get away with choke slamming him, he will take his big right hand, raise The People's Eyebrow and lay the smackdown on him.

Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) beat Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor).

Al Snow and Head come out of the crowd and get in the ring. Snow says "What does everybody want?", "What does everybody need?" and "What does everybody love?" as the crowd chants "Head!" (These three questions would be sampled for his WWF entrance theme.) Snow says he and Head will not leave the ring until they see a WWF official. Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter show up, then Snow says the word of the day is "stooge" before asking the crowd to say the word "stooge" and introducing the crowd to "The Stooge Is Right." Snow lets Slaughter know that since everyone loves a little Head, the crowd has been chosen as the new WWF Commissioner. Slaughter tells Snow and Head to leave the ring. Snow tells Brisco he and Head have been reinstated, but Brisco tells him to leave the ring. SNow asks Patterson where the dressing room is, but Patterson tells him to leave the ring or he is going to jail. Snow then decides to give the three of them a parting gift: a little Head. Snow hits Patterson in the groin with Head and then runs back into the crowd, out of the grasp of Slaughter and Brisco.
Michael Cole interviews The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh), who are confused about the fact that this is Raw Saturday Night and not Shotgun Saturday Night. Thrasher says he will keep "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry in the corner and feed himi bananas, while Mosh will beat up D'Lo Brown. Mosh does not understand why D'Lo is WWF European Champion when he grew up right by them in South Jersey.
The Nation (D'Lo Brown and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) by disqualification after Chyna rushes into the ring and attacks Mark Henry.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 5, 1998
Note: This episode aired on Saturday due to the U.S. Open.
WWF owner Vince McMahon heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He announces that on September 27th, a brilliant, Machiavellian plan will be unfolded, as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will suffer a physical and emotional breakdown that will cause him to no longer be the WWF Champion once the plan is executed, and guarantees that this will happen and that he should not even be WWF Champion right now. Vince says The Undertaker dominated Austin and even had an insurance policy in the form of Kane, but he sent him back to the locker room. Vince calls The Undertaker "a damned fool." He then talks about Austin's appearance on Regis and Kathie Lee, where he said SummerSlam was a hard-fought battle and that he has respect for The Undertaker. Vince knows The Undertaker is somewhere in the building and can hear him, and that his "retarded" brother Kane can hear him, too. He tells them they should be striking terror in the heart of every WWF Superstar, and that they should be dominating and terrorizing the World Wrestling Federation, but instead, the Superstars are starting to snicker at their mere sight and are not terrorized any longer to the point that they could not terrorize a kindergartner. The crowd starts calling Vince an asshole, and Vince responds "That's class all the way," then days The Undertaker and Kane have been reduced to "two putrid pussies." Kane and The Undertaker show up, and Vince McMahon leaves through the crowd immediately, with The Undertaker and Kane following.
The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) vs. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman comes to an end when The Undertaker and Kane show up and attack Blackman, with a choke slam by Kane and a leg bar by The Undertaker. The D.O.A. and Paul Ellering start running as soon as Kane and The Undertaker come their way, and Shamrock is angry when he sees Blackman is injured.
Val Venis is spotted making out with a woman in a bathroom stall backstage.
Before the next match, Val Venis says "The Big Valbowski is like your family dog: he's loyal, he's obedient and he comes when he's called."
Val Venis vs. Vader ends in a no-contest. During the match, Dustin Runnels is seen in the crowd holding up a sign with the message "He's coming back." Later in the match, Bradshaw shows up and confronts Vader, but when The Undertaker and Kane show up, he gets out of the ring before The Undertaker and Kane demolish both Venis and Vader.
Michael Cole interviews "The Rock" Rocky Maivia and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. The Rock tells says The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) are like everyone else he has laid the smackdown on. As for "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmesley, he will always be the people's champ, even if Triple H left him laying in a pool of his own blood at SummerSlam.
Michael Cole interviews The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). Billy Gunn says the boys are back, and that they did what they said they would do. Road Dog says they aren't just going to get a piece of "The Rock" Rocky Maivia, they're getting his whole ass, and if "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry wants a shot, they'll knock him off too, as it's their first title defense and the only good offense is "a damn good defense."
The Nation ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) by disqualification after Chyna rushes into the ring and goes after Mark Henry. The New Age Outlaws, who retain the WWF Tag Team Championships, have to hold her back.
Tiger Ali Singh and Babu show up. Singh says he has proven that American men have no class or courage, and that they will do anything for money. He says they have continually embarassed themselves by eating worms and licking Babu's feet. He has also proven that American women have no morals and no self-respect, and that they have degraded themselves continuously by taking their clothes off and eating dog food. He has now concluded there is no limit to how low Americans will go. As he speaks, Babu is eating sardines, and Singh notices this, saying the stench has gotten on his nerves and that he hasn't even brushed his teeth in four days. This gives Singh an idea: offer $500 to any American woman who will get in the ring and French kiss Babu. Babu picks a younger American woman, and since she is beautiful, Singh bumps the reward up to $600. All she has to do is kiss Babu for five seconds - which he will count - to get the money, but if she stops at any point, she does not get paid. She plays tonsil hockey for more than five seconds, thanks to Singh telling the crowd to shut up, and gets the $600. After this, The Undertaker and Kane show up as the young lady leaves, and they both choke slam Singh and Babu, and Babu is choke slammed out of his shoes.
Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh).

We see unseen SummerSlam footage where X-Pac, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), Howard Finkel, The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and Darren "Puke" Drozdov continue to cut "Double J" Jeff Jarrett's hair in the locker room.
X-Pac beats D'Lo Brown by disqualification after "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, now with a shorter haircut and brand new ring gear, shows up and attacks X-Pac. As X-Pac and Jarrett fight in the crowd, The Undertaker and Kane show up yet again and attack D'Lo Brown. "The Rock" Rocky Maivia runs in and confronts The Undertaker and Kane, but he gets a beatdown while D'Lo Brown escapes through the crowd. D'Lo Brown retains the WWF European Championship, and The Rock gets choke slammed.
"Marvelous" Marc Mero vs. Edge ends in a no-contest when Gangrel rushes out and brawls with Edge. Mero and Jacqueline have almost made it to the back when The Undertaker and Kane show up yet again and attack Mero.
Jim Ross interviews Al Snow and Head. We see footage of Snow in Extreme Championship Wrestling, and Snow says that ECW is a completely alternate experience, and there, he was able to show that he was capable of carrying the ball when it was giving it to him, taking his chance and running with it. He was a star in ECW, and he can be a star in WWF, and if he isn't given the opportunity, he'll take it, even if he is talking to a mannequin head. Snow says he is a normal human being with a regular life, a wife and kids. Snow says the voices he hears from Head are numerous but regular people. Snow says he has had numerous challenges in his life, but he will overcome them. It is also acknowledges that Snow has competed as both Avatar and Leif Cassidy. Snow apologizes for his outburt towards Jim Ross back then where he screamed that he could not take it anymore, but says he did not have a breakdown or was pushed over the edge, but rather had an awakening. If he had clearance to see WWF owner Vince McMahon, he would not even entertain the act of talking to him. Snow also says it is him running the show, not Head.
The Undertaker and Kane are seen backstage again.
Before the next match, Road Warrior Hawk is seen wearing street clothes and his L.O.D. 2000 helmet, dancing with The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Golga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva). After being Road Warrior Hawk then tries to dance with Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope), but when they refuse, Hawk attacks them. Despite his extremely compromised state, he is still part of the match, which does not bode well for Road Warrior Animal or Darren "Puke" Drozdov. As everyone else fights outside of the ring, Giant Silva chokes slams Hawk in the middle of the ring. The Oddities (Golga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva) beat L.O.D. 2000 (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) and Darren "Puke" Drozdov. (The Oddities' entrance as well as the post-match proceedings are edited out of the WWE Network.)
The Undertaker and Kane attack a random backstage worker and trash the backstage interview area.
Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and "Too Hot" Scott Taylor) beats Los Boricuas (Jesus Castillo and Miguel Perez) when Jesus has referee Jimmy Korderas distracted following a double-team on Taylor, allowing Christopher to hit Miguel with a top rope leg drop during a pinfall attempt before laying Taylor on top of Miguel for the win.
Before the next match, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett tells 2 Cold Scorpio not to look him in the eye, because that enough to piss him off.
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats 2 Cold Scorpio by disqualification after he is attacked by X-Pac. During the match, it is announced that "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman has been taken out of the arena earlier with a knee injury, and may be out for a while. Updates on his injury will be provided tomorrow night on Sunday Night Heat.

It is not long before The Undertaker and Kane notice Vince and chase him to the back to end the show.

Tiger Ali Singh and Babu show up. Singh says he has proven that American men have no class or courage, and that they will do anything for money. He says they have continually embarassed themselves by eating worms and licking Babu's feet. He has also proven that American women have no morals and no self-respect, and that they have degraded themselves continuously by taking their clothes off and eating dog food. He has now concluded there is no limit to how low Americans will go. As he speaks, Babu is eating sardines, and Singh notices this, saying the stench has gotten on his nerves and that he hasn't even brushed his teeth in four days. This gives Singh an idea: offer $500 to any American woman who will get in the ring and French kiss Babu. Babu picks a younger American woman, and since she is beautiful, Singh bumps the reward up to $600. All she has to do is kiss Babu for five seconds - which he will count - to get the money, but if she stops at any point, she does not get paid. She plays tonsil hockey for more than five seconds, thanks to Singh telling the crowd to shut up, and gets the $600.

Jim Ross interviews Al Snow and Head. We see footage of Snow in Extreme Championship Wrestling, and Snow says that ECW is a completely alternate experience, and there, he was able to show that he was capable of carrying the ball when it was giving it to him, taking his chance and running with it. He was a star in ECW, and he can be a star in WWF, and if he isn't given the opportunity, he'll take it, even if he is talking to a mannequin head. Snow says he is a normal human being with a regular life, a wife and kids. Snow says the voices he hears from Head are numerous but regular people. Snow says he has had numerous challenges in his life, but he will overcome them. It is also acknowledges that Snow has competed as both Avatar and Leif Cassidy. Snow apologizes for his outburt towards Jim Ross back then where he screamed that he could not take it anymore, but says he did not have a breakdown or was pushed over the edge, but rather had an awakening.

Kevin Kelly interviews The Jackyl and Kurrgan in the ring. The Jackyl says that just as the prophet came down and licked the wounds of the lepers clean, so today shall he walk into the miasmatic scum that is the crowd in the arena tonight. He says the stench that emanates from the crowd can only be matched by the stench that is at the top of Titan Towers, and the stench is the stench of conspiracy against him. He says that he is sick of the fact that he is constantly censored, kept off live television and banned from house shows despite being the best speaker in the World Wrestling Federation and "over like nobody's business." He says there are people in the WWF with limited intellect and ability who have jobs in the WWF today because of him, and that in six months, Kurrgan has gone from a corporate sideshow to the most feared man in the WWF. The Jackyl then announces that he will take over the WWF and that his revolution is coming, and he tells the fans - whom he considers too dumb to participate in "intellectual intercourse" - to listen to every word he says and "Jackyl off."
