Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 8, 1996

WWF President Gorilla Monsoon announces with great reluctance the indefinite suspension of The Ultimate Warrior, a direct result of his failure to appear as advertised last weekend in Indianapolis, Detroit and Pittsburgh. This suspension will be immediately lifted as soon as The Warrior posts an appearance bond to ensure WWF fans that he will appear where advertised. He is here tonight, as promised, and will wrestle Owen Hart. WWF is hopeful he will post the bond and return to action in the WWF. Despite his popularity, no one wrestler is above answering to the WWF fans. (This suspension proves indefinite, however, as in reality The Ultimate Warrior was fired for reportedly no-showing several house shows due to the death of his father. Despite Vince McMahon hoping on the air that this is not the last time we see Warrior, Warrior would not appear in the ring again until the Raw show after WrestleMania 30, almost 18 years later, which just so happened to be the night before he passed away.)

The Ultimate Warrior beats Owen Hart by disqualification after The British Bulldog attempts to interfere and fails. After the match, Vader gets in the ring, and The Ultimate Warrior falls victim to the numbers game. Officials have to stop Camp Cornette from attacking Warrior further, but Owen Hart nails Warrior with his cast and Vader scares all the officials away with Jim Cornette's tennis racket before Cornette takes the racket and whacks Warrior with it prior to a Vader Bomb. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson. When asked who their partner will be against Camp Cornette (Vader, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog) at In Your House: International Incident, Shawn says they have secured their third man and that he will be here shortly. Ahmed says their third man has to be able to hold his own, and that we will learn his identity in a few minutes.

After the commercial break, we see officials carrying The Ultimate Warrior to the back. We then segue back to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson. Shawn says he's had his differences with him like he's had his differences with a lot of other people, but he'll be here shortly. Ahmed says he won't be walked over like The Ultimate Warrior.

Before the next match, Brian Pillman, ever the loose cannon, threatens to attack Savio Vega with one of his crutches.

The WWF Attitude Adjustment tour heads to Albany, New York; Worcester, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; Bangor, Maine; and Vancouver, British Columbia!

Savio Vega beats Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw. During the match, Vince McMahon interviews Mr. Perfect via telephone, but they lose him during the break as he is calling from a cellular phone. After the match, Savio Vega catches Uncle Zebekiah with his branding iron but is attacked from behind by Bradshaw before being hit with a cowbell. Uncle Zebekiah then brands Vega.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels says his and Ahmed Johnson's third man will be here momentarily. Next week, Shawn and Ahmed put their respective titles on the line against Billy Gunn and Bart Gunn, respectively. Shawn says Billy will "get a rompin' and a stompin'," while Ahmed says that "Filly and Fart are very good" while telling Sunny to stay in the hood.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Ahmed Johnson, The Undertaker, Paul Bearer and Sunny welcomed the fans at Continental Airlines Arena at The Meadowlands, New Jersey this past Friday. Hunter Hearst Helmsley and The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) can be seen signing autographs. WWF also welcomed thefans outside of the New Haven Coliseum at New Haven, Connecticut this past Saturday.

Jim Cornette guests on commentary for the next match.

Vader and The British Bulldog beat The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn).

On Option 6 of the WWF Superstar Line: Speculation on the alleged love triangle between Goldust, Marlena and Sable...but where does Mankind fit in?

Jim Cornette isn't concerned about who "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels' and Ahmed Johnson's new partner is, saying nobody would step in to replace The Ultimate Warrior after what his men did to him. Unfortunately for Cornette, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Ahmed Johnson reveal that their partner is none other than Sycho Sid, who hasn't been seen in months. Sid says he can hear Cornette and his men scream for help only to find there is no one there. Cornette is furious upon learning and threatens to call Clarence Mason to get this dealt with.

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 2, 1992

The Big Boss Man beats Mark Roberts. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from The Big Boss Man, who says he is not afraid of any man and that he will not look over his shoulder or fear threats. He tells the convict who is threatening him that he will be ready. After the match, Mark Roberts gets handcuffed to the middle rope.

The newest issue of WBF Magazine is available now, and the WBF Championship takes place in the Long Island Convention Center on June 13th. We hear from Mr. Fuji and The Berzerker, and The Berzerker tells The Undertaker that he proved he is human after The Berzerker beat him up, and next week, he will not take it easy on him. We then hear from Paul Bearer and The Undertaker, and Paul Bearer says Mr. Fuji tried to steal the urn and kill The Undertaker last week and that it will be over for him. The Undertaker asks Mr. Fuji if he expected the Grim Reaper when he knocked on death's door.

Papa Shango beats Red Tyler. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Papa Shango, who chants "Curse the living, raise the dead, the river is flowing, the river is red."

We hear from "El Matador" Tito Santana, who says he went through a lot of hard training to become a matador, and it has paid off. His road to the top is getting closer, and regardless of who gets in the ring with him, he feels a lot of confidence, for his matador training will get him through anything. He also thanks the fans for getting behind him since he came back, and he is ready for anybody. We then hear from Sid Justice, who says that everyone knows that he is the man in the World Wrestling Federation and that anyone who does not measure up to him will get pushed to the side. He tells anybody who has the guts to face him.

Tatanka beats Brian Costello. During the match, we hear from "The Model" Rick Martel, who says that he will have to spray an extra dose of Arrogance at Tatanka for smelling so bad. After the match, Martel shows up and says that Tatanka smells so bad he has to disinfect the ring. Martel sprays Arrogance around ringside, then sprays it in the ring. Tatanka then sneaks up behind Martel as Martel gloats on the apron, then pushes him off the ring. When Martel refuses to ring and continues to make fun of Tatanka's people, Tatanka gets on the ring and goes for a double axe handle only to be sprayed in the face by Martel, getting blinded in the process. Martel then sprays Tatanka's eagle feathers with Arrogance before putting them on and walking off with them as officials help Tatanka to the back.

We hear from Virgil, who thanks the fans for bringing him up, as he has seen the light and is fighting his way to the top for money and championship belts, slaying anyone who gets in his way. We also hear from Shawn Michaels, who says that he has reason to believe people have been getting the wrong impression of him: a conceited braggard. He says he is a good-looking man and a great wrestler, and says everyone else is jealous of him. He says he understands this and tells everyone in the WWF, including Bret "Hit Man" Hart, that he is the hottest thing the WWF has to offer.

Backstage, Tatanka is tended to in the first-aid room.

Before the next match, Irwin R. Schyster says it is about time people started paying their fair share of taxes, as "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase is tired of supporting the people with his tax dollars.

Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) beat Chris Hahn and Ron Cumberledge.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the stage. Savage says this is the 1990s, and says "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is a man with zero morals and sensibility. He says he did what he had to do to Flair as Flair would have done the same thing to him, and he considers WrestleMania 8 "a done deal." He also says the only stealing going on was from Flair when he stole a kiss on Miss Elizabeth, and that Flair got the kiss of death as a result. He says that this is the first time the champion has challenged the challenger, and if Flair thinks dropping the WWF Championship is bad, he should just wait until he gets dropped by him.

We see another vignette from Crush, who walks through an automobile junkyard as he says that he loved baseball as a kid. We then see black-and-white footage of a boy accidentally crushing a baseball. Now that he is in the WWF, he is not playing games anymore.

High Energy (Koko B. Ware and "The Rocket" Owen Hart) beats Tom Bennett and Dwayne Gill in their debut. During the match, it is announced that Tatanka has calmed down somewhat backstage and that there will be an update on his condition next week. We also see pre-recorded comments from High Energy, who introduce themselves to the fans as they tell all the tag teams in the WWF to get ready, as they are coming right at them.

We see an advertisement for WBF Bodystars.

The Ultimate Warrior beats Skinner.

We hear from The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly) and The Genius, who brag about their undefeated record and feel they should be tag team champions, as the champions never want to step into the ring with them. They say that the big time has gotten to The Legion of Doom's head, and that The Legion of Doom will never be big time again. We also hear from Sgt. Slaughter, who thanks all the fans who bring their American flags and signs to the ring before saying that there are a lot of guys who take care of, such as The Mountie, whom he calls a stepping stone on his way up to the WWF Championship. He also says that anyone he has to go through will soon be dismissed.

We hear from Sgt. Slaughter, who tells "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair that next week, the two of them will step in the ring and see what Flair is made of, and not only will Flair be a former WWF Champion, but another notch on his stick. We also hear from Flair and Mr. Perfect, who say that they do not take orders from him or like what he stands for. Flair says that next week, he and Mr. Perfect will be "stylin' and profilin'."
