Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 10, 1997

The New World Order arrive to start the show, flying Canadian flags. Eric Bischoff "re-debuts" "the real giant in this industry today," Kevin Nash, who shows up for the first time in weeks. Kevin is wheeled out in a wheelchair by Syxx and, like Scott hall did last week as well as right now, carries a WCW World Tag Team Championship belt around him. Nash mockingly says he feels like the luckiest guy in the world, and as he was sitting at home for the last four or five weeks listening to The Giant talk, there's nothing he'd like to do more - besides win Ben Stein's money - than give The Giant the beating of his life. He doesn't work for free, however, and if The Giant wants to go toe-to-toe with him, he'll have to do it on his terms: in the World War 3 match, which takes place this year in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Bischoff says that not only is Kevin Nash the luckiest man in the world, so is he, because he spends time with guys like "Hollywood' Hulk Hogan and spends a billionaire's money to surround himself with some of the most impressive men in the business today. He then announces that he has a special gift for Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, who is fresh out of the World Wrestling Federation: a nWo rendition of O Canada and the announcement that Bret Hart is the newest member of the New World Order.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund shows disappointment in The New World Order's announcement concerning Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and plus the WCW Hotline, saying there was alleged confrontation between Bret Hart and an opposing promoter, and this inside story is only available on the WCW Hotline.

Steven Regal and David Taylor get an upset win on Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray).

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Chris Jericho beats Disco Inferno with the Lion Tamer. During the match, Raven and his men, regularly referred to as "Raven's Flock" (Raven, Perry Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy) are seen heading to seats in the front row. After the match, Billy Kidman tosses water into Disco's face, and Disco tosses Kidman over the guardrail before pummeling him. Sick Boy then jumps the guardrail, almost slips on the ringside mat due to the water that was tossed at Disco and immediately goes to work on Disco. Scotty Riggs shows up and fights off both Kidman and Sick Boy, and it is noted that Scotty Riggs is wearing an eyepatch. Raven confronts Riggs, then almost immediately moves away, and the rest of Raven's men immediately leave Riggs alone upon seeing him.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Alex Wright! Glacier! Mortis!

Glacier beats The Barbarian. During the match, Jimmy Hart, who has not been seen on Nitro in weeks, shows back up in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee to much applause and stands in The Barbarian's corner. He distracts the referee long enough to ask for Glacier to knock him off the apron with a Cryonic Kick, but Glacier is able to beat The Barbarian nevertheless. After the match, Glacier is attacked from behind by Meng, who applies the Tongan Death Grip on Glacier.

Raven suddenly gets in the ring with his Flock (Perry Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy). Raven apologizes to Scotty Riggs for all the damage he did to his eye, saying it was an accident and that he feels his pain. He then tells those not intelligent, able-minded or coherent enough to understand the message he has given in the last few months, he tells them he had an abusive childhood where he was teased, taunted, tormented, picked on, bullied and beaten, but that was then and this is now. Now, all the freaks, misfits, mutants, the disenfranchised, the hopeless, the unwanted, the dregs of society have come forth from out of the shadows to stand beside him and help him gain his vengeance against those who treated him poorly. He says not to blame him, but to blame themselves as they made him what he is. All of a sudden, he is jonited by another man in a black mesh tanktop with holes in them, blue lipstick, blue eyeshadow, a nipple piercing and short blond hair shows up, and Mike Tenay somehow recognizes him as former WCW wrestler Van Hammer - or some guy who looks a lot like him - and it is obvious by his appearance that he is the newest member of Raven's Flock.

Yuji Nagata beats Alex Wright with the Nagata Lock. During the match, it is announced that Ultimo Dragon will face Yuji Nagata at World War 3, and if Ultimo Dragon wins, he gets five minutes in the ring with Sonny Onoo. Also, Sonny Onoo hands Debra McMichael some yen and kisses her only to get slapped. This is enough to distract Alex Wright, and Yuji Nagata is able to put Wright in the Nagata Lock. Despite confronting Sonny Onoo for kissing her, she keeps the money that Onoo placed in her hands.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up again, and this time they are not in a good mood. Bischoff is seen holding a piece of paper that somebody decided to slip into their locker room: a poster of a movie called The Real Reason Men Commit Crimes, which noticeably features Sting as one of the stars. Bischoff says the crime here is that Sting is trying to break into Hogan's industry, and that only Hogan deserves to be in Hollywood. Hogan says Sting is getting this "bogus movie" on the market because he is a "Hollywood wanna-be," and that his movie Assault On Devil Island will body slam Sting's movie just like he will body slam Sting at Starrcade. He says he isn't waiting until December, and calls Sting out, saying if he wants to be him so badly, then all he has to do is face him. Bischoff tries to egg Sting on and tell Sting to come get some, asking what the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia is, anyway. Bischoff says he and Hogan know Sting is in the building, and that Hogan wants Sting tonight. It is announced that The Real Reason Men Commit Crimes, starring Sting, debuts this Friday night at the historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia as part of the Peachtree Film Festival on Friday night at 8:30 PM local time.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Perry Saturn by disqualification after Billy Kidman and Sick Boy try to interfere. Benoit puts Saturn in the Crippler Crossface, then Van Hammer - or a guy who looks like him - distracts Benoit, allowing Fit Finlay to show up and hit Benoit with a tombstone piledriver. Raven shows up, and watches Kidman and Sick Boy continue to attack Benoit. Perry Saturn retains the WCW World Television Championship.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair makes three things very clear: he will win World War 3, he's going to disable Curt Hennig, and that Lex Luger is number three behind him and Elvis Presley. If the Memphis, Tennessee doesn't believe he's number one, all they have to do is watch him dismantle Lex Luger in twenty minutes. He says that World War 3 will be more than a blowout, saying that Curt Hennig wants to be the greatest performer in the world. However, the countdown starts tonight as he plans to take Hennig apart as he is part of the New World Order. When Okerlund asks if he should expect a victory party after Flair wins the World War 3 match, Flair tells him they will have an all-night party with The Nitro Girls.

Eddie Guerrero beats Rey Mysterio Jr. to win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship! After the match, Dean Malenko shows up and stares down with Guerrero, then heads to the back.

Brandow Lowry of the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga is the winner of a WCW Nitro Prize Pack, and we see footage of his Nitro party in Lambda Alpha Chi house during rush week.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats Ray Traylor after Miss Elizabeth yanks Ray Traylor off the top rope, despite being smacked in the head with a steel chair early in the match. As Savage goes for another top rope elbow drop, Miss Elizabeth heads to the back and brings back a can of black spray paint. Savage knocks out referee Billy Silverman and tosses him out of the ring, then Miss Elizabeth gets the the honors of spray painting Traylor. Savage hits the top rope elbow again, then says "This is how it's gonna be from now one...for lie!" After the replay of the match, it is announced that Ray Traylor is declared the winner by reverse decision due to the post-match attack.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Curt Hennig by disqualification after Hennig hits Page in the ribs with the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. Hennig and Page brawl, and Page fights back. Hennig is seen with blood coming out of his nose after the match. as he walks out. Curt Hennig retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.

Lex Luger beats "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair after Curt Hennig interferes and Lex Luger fights him off. During the match, it is announced that nobody has heard from Sting yet, and that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan will issue another statement after the next commercial break. After the bell rings, Lex Luger press slams Ric Flair onto Hennig, allowing Flair to go after Hennig.

"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff show up again. Hogan says that Sting is a coward, and that the rest of the nWo agrees with him. He asks that Sting be brought out to the ring, and Bischoff says that even he can't make Sting appear as Sting is more fear than anything else. Hogan gets his wish, as Sting - and not a man in a mask - rappels down from the rafters adnd heads to the ring. Sting throws the bat away and takes off the gloves, and when "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up along with the rest of the nWo, Hogan nails Sting from behind, knocking Sting down and leaving him to the rest of the nWo, who gang up on Sting before holding him up so that Hogan can get a few shots in on him. The show ends with Eric Bischoff mocking what's going on as Hogan continues to hit Sting with leg drops.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 10, 1997

The show starts with D-Generation ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, "Ravishing" Rick Rude) coming out to brand-new music, but only Rick Rude shows up. Rude tells all the "fat, out-of-shape Ottawa idiots" to shut their mouths, open their eyes and give their respect to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Shawn, Triple H and Chyna show up, and despite promising to do so last week, Shawn does not show up to the ring naked, with Jim Cornette saying that he has heard in the back that "the Canadians don't deserve it." It is also announced for the first time on WWF commentary as they show up that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart has left the World Wrestling Federation because of Shawn Michaels and that there will be more details later. Rude congratulates Shawn on a job well done at Survivor Series, and Shawn says that he wouldn't have it any other way as D-Generation X is now on top of the world. Shawn says that he considered coming out to the ring and being politically correct, but since somebody else drew first blood, he is now going to unload on everybody. He tells all the fans chanting "We want Bret" that he beat Bret in his home country and with his own finishing hold, and if they thought DX was hell to deal with before, they haven't seen anything yet. Shawn then states that the World Wrestling Federation was not big enough for him and Bret, and put him in the Sharpshooter and heard him give up, then ran him "down south with the rest of those dinosaurs," and that he has two friends there who are not dinosaurs who will beat the hell out of him one day, whether he likes it or not (a reference to Scott Hall and Kevin Nash). Shawn then says he is the only man on top who will ever be #1 and be an icon...not Bret, not "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, not "Macho Man" Randy Savage, as nobody has the will to be the best and he will outwill the rest of them as he has something they don't: god-given, pure, natural talent. He says he is willing to be a wrestling champion, and Rick Rude agrees with him, saying Shawn will never say "I quit." As Shawn says he will never beat up a 52-year-old man, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock shows up. Shawn tells Shamrock he gave him a wrestling lesson last week, and that he can't possibly want any more of him. He gives Shamrock the microphone and wants to see if he can put a sentence together. Shamrock initially tells Shawn "You aren't gonna give me shit!" then grabs the microphone and tells DX that are a disgrace to the human race, and tells Chyna to take a seat as he questions her gender. Triple H laughs, but Shamrock tells him that if he thinks that's funny, then he should wait until he gets a hold of him. He then immediately answers Shawn's challenge to take on anybody, anywhere, any time. He then tells Rick Rude that all he knows how to do is attack people from behind as he's an old man. He then focuses on Shawn's hair and chest, calling them both "sexy," then tells Shawn he's going to punch a hole in his sexy chest and that the rest of DX can't stop him. Shamrock then says he's got the microphone, and that he dictates when it's time to stop talking. Shawn then takes the microphone, says he makes the decision, and decides it's time for him to stop talking. He says Chyna (addressing her as "this woman") can knock him out any day of his life and that he should be lucky that Rick Rude doesn't knock him the hell out, then tells Shamrock that Triple H can beat him anywhere, any time. He doesn't blame Shamrock for thinking his hair and chest are sexy, then WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up, then gives Slaughter the same directions as Shamrock, but tells him not to spit at him. Slaughter says "you have a WWF Championship match against Shamrock." tonight. Shawn tells Slaughter he beat a man who is a legend in his own, then goes back on his word and says he can't defend the title tonight, although he usually would. Slaughter tells Shawn's he not wrestling tonight; Triple H is. Triple H says he already has a match tonight, and he'd beat Shamrock's ass tonight, but he has other business to take care of. Slaughter tells Triple H that the match is against Shamrock anyway, and to ensure there is no interference, he will be at ringside and bars Rick Rude, Shawn and Chyna from ringside. It is then announced that the encore of Survivor Series is tomorrow night.

Ahmed Johnson beats Marc Mero by disqualification when Mero is caught by the referee hitting Ahmed with a low blow. Mero gets disqualified, but he hits Ahmed with the TKO anyway. After the match, "Butterbean" Eric Esch, boxer and winner of 18 professional fights, is seen in the crowd.

Sunny is guest ring announcer for the next match. "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher guests on commentary.

Taka Michinoku beats Devon Storm to continue to the semi-finals of the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament. During the match, "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher distracts Michinoku only to be drop kicked off the apron. Nevertheless, Michinoku manages to hit the Michinoku Driver on Devon Storm. After the match, Michinoku immediately hits Cristopher with a top rope cross body to the outside of the ring, and Christopher immediately runs to the back. Michinoku will face Aguila in the semi-final round.

Jim Ross interviews Goldust in the ring. Goldust now has flames painted on the front of his hair and red lipstick on his lips as he walks into the ring with a cigar in his mouth much like Marlena. The words "I'm 1st" are in black on the back of his head, and he is now wearing big, white pearl earrings on his ears and a gold leisure suit. Goldust tells Jim Ross that he knows what his "fat ass old man" did to him, and got out of that - and out of his marriage, where he wasn't allowed to be himself - and while Marlena was gone, he found somebody who allowed him to express himself, which he says Marlena never allowed him to do. Goldust says he has a broken arm, and says he can't wrestle in his current condition when asked why he turned on Vader. Vader shows up, says nobody walks out on him. Vader tells Goldust he's known him for a decade that they have both fought alongside and against each other, and he knew what kind of a man Goldust was. He wants to know why Goldust turned on him. Goldust says he's an invalid and couldn't wrestle, but Vader tells Goldust that he told him he was ready before last night's match. Vader tells Goldust this will be straightened out one way or another, then punches Goldust in the gut and puts him in a powerbomb before walking out of the ring.

Michael Cole reports that Blackjack Bradshaw is raising hell in the locker room as Blackjack Windham is lying on the floor, and that he keeps mentioning "two jackasses."

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) bring out The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) to surround the ring for the next match, and The Jackyl guests on commentary.

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) beat The Truth Commission (Recon and Sniper). During the match, The Jackyl gets on the apron, but The Headbangers immediately knock him off, and The Interrogator meets the same fate near the end of the match (though he is not knocked off his feet). After the match, both teams brawl, and The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) get involved. The D.O.A. and The Headbangers come out on top as referees try to restore order.

The introduction to the show is replayed to signal the start of War Zone.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is interviewed in the ring by Michael Cole. Austin isn't even concerned about paying back Owen Hart for breaking his neck, because the fact of the matter is that he's back and Intercontinental Champion after sitting at home for three months and drinking beer. When Michael Cole tells him that he might as well paint a bulls-eye on his forehead after winning the Intercontinental Championship, Austin tells him he might as well paint a bulls-eye on Cole's ass and kick him around the building. The Nation of Domination's (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) music hits, but only Rocky Maivia shows up. Maivia says that when he was the Intercontinental Champion, he was the best there was, and that come hell or high water, he will be wearing it again, and if Austin has enough manhood to accept his chalenge, then Austin's bottom line will read "has been, compliments of 'The Rock.'" Austin gives Maivia a couple of challenges in response: get a decent haircut and flush himself down the commode because he's a piece of crap. He accepts Maivia's challenge, then says Maivia doesn't suck because the fans said so; Maivia sucks because Stone Cold said so.

Before the next match, Jim Ross interviews Steve Blackman at ringside. Ross says Blackman put on quite a performance last night, and Blackman says he feels that he acquitted himself at Survivor Series. Jesus Castillo tells Blackman to get an interview some other time, and Blackman tells Castillo to get out of his face. This leads to Castillo, Jose Estrada Jr. and Miguel Perez to attack Blackman, but Blackman effectively fights them all off at once with his martial arts prowess.

Michael Cole interviews Road Dog "Jesse James" and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn backstage, and announces that Blackjack Windham is out with rib injuries, and asks them how they can accept the Bunkhouse Battle when it is now 2-on-1 and in their favor. Road Dogg says Windham was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and now Blackjack Bradshaw is "higher than a Georgia pine and twice as stupid." Road Dog and Billy Gunn then come to the ring, telling the crowd to get ready for carnage as the plan to get rid of both of The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw). Blackjack Bradsaw then comes to the ring and throws powder into Billy Gunn's face.

"Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beat Blackjack Bradshaw in a 2-on-1 Bunkhouse Brawl.

We finally see part two of the Jeff Jarrett interview. Jarrett asks Jim Ross where, in 1997, you can find a man who is 30 years old with 12 years of experience in the professional wrestling business with no steroids, no skeletons in the closet, and the star potential and looks that he has, and says that the WWF is getting him at a bargain. It has been Jarrett's lifelong and immediate goal to become the WWF Champion, and Vince McMahon will have the greatest, most respected champion that he's ever had. Jarrett says he's never beaten Bret "The Hit Man" Hart before, and says he wants to beat him, saying that he is superior to Bret in all aspects, saying Bret is "the best there was" and not much else. He says he will not be surprised if "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at Survivor Series. Jim Ross then plays a game of word association with Jarrett. He says Bret is dedicated, says The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) has strength in numbers, says he has respect for Mick Foley, and calls "Macho Man" Randy Savage the hardest-working guy he has ever known. He says The Legion of Doom has raw ability, and says of Eric Bischoff "right time, right place, right wallet." As for "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, he says "charisma plus intelligence equals success." For Shawn Michaels, he calls him "a phenomenal athelete," calls Triple H "a tag-along" and says he doesn't know what to think of Chyna. As long as Shawn doesn't act juvenile around him or mess with him, he's not bothered by his behavior, saying that Shawn is frustrated at something and that this is how he is venting it, and that Shawn knows he can still be one of the best wrestlers out there today.

Michael Cole interviews professional boxer, 18-time Toughman Contest winner and IBWA Super Heavyweight Champion "Butterbean" Eric Esch and his trainer Art Dohr. As he mentions his fight on December 6th, he says he's here to train but also to watch Raw live as his friends watch it all the time, and says the crowd is wonderful and that he can't ask for a better night. Marc Mero shows up and tells Michael Cole that if he wants to interview a boxer, interview him. Marc Mero asks Butterbean who he's ever beaten, other than truck drivers and unemployed steel workers and "these lousy Canadians." He also tells Butterbean to even touch, look at or come near Sable, as he is a real boxed and the real star of the team, that he is a real boxer, and that Butterbean is a nobody he can knock out in four rounds or less before saying Butterbean is the Pillsbury doughboy and he is Superman. He warns Butterbean not to touch Sable again, and Butterbean almost jumps the guardrail as soon as he puts his hands on him. Butterbean is confused as to what happened, and Jim Ross apologizes on behalf of the WWF to Butterbean for Marc Mero's behavior.

The Undertaker vs. Kama Mustafa ends in a no-contest. Before the match, it is announced that the encore of Survivor Series is tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central throughout North America. During the match, Paul Bearer and Kane show up, and Bearer says it would be easy for Kane to get in the ring and bring 'Taker to his eternal damnation, but Kane really wants 'Taker to suffer like he did when he was in the fire. Bearer tells 'Taker that he must face Kane one-on-one, no interference, no excuses, so Kane can prove that he is superior. 'Taker tells Bearer to shut up before he rips his throat out, then tells Kane this is not the place and that Bearer is nothing but an infectious disease who has poisoned his mind. He tells Kane that somewhere behind the mask of evil is his little brother and that there is something good left in him, and asks him not to come to him as an enemy but as his brother, and to stand beside him as he will never fight him tonight or any other night, as Kane is flesh and blood - his flesh and blood - just like him, and if he has to go through the rest of the WWF, so be it. He tells Paul Bearer that he will pay for what he is doing, and Bearer says that all the agony he and Kane cause and all the souls they destroy will be 'Taker's fault, and for that, 'Taker will pay in the fires of Hell.

The show ends before "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock vs. Triple H can finish. Despite being barred from ringside at the top of the show, "Ravishing" Rick Rude shows up and watches the match from the entrance ramp midway through the match. He tries to interfere, but is stopped by WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, as is Chyna when she tries to interfere as well. Triple H knocks out the referee, and Shamrock goes for the ankle lock submission. Rick Rude tosses the steel Halliburton briefcase to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and Michaels smacks the briefcase into Shamrock's back. Triple H makes the pinfall after this, but the referee is pulled out of the ring as the show ends.

Survivor Series 1997 - The Results

Before the next match, Road Dog tells The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) that they will feel some real Southern justice and that they are done for.

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and the team of Road Dog and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match, with Road Dog and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn as the survivors.

The Truth Commission (The Jackyl, Recon, Sniper, The Interrogator) beats The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match with The Interrogator as the sole survivor.

We see fan predictions of who will win between Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

Kevin Kelly interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the AOL Room backstage as Austin chats with the fans on America On-Line. Austin says he is concerned about his neck, but he is living with it and moving on as he needs no sympathy from the fans.

It is announced that the identity of the fan who attacked Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon) last week on Raw is a martial-arts expert named Steve Blackman, and that Vader bailed Blackman out of jail and asked WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to allow Steve Blackman to replace The Patriot on Team USA (Vader, Blackman, Goldust, Marc Mero).

Michael Cole interviews Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader). He says that he and his teammates don't have much in common except that they don't like big-mouthed Canadians trash-talking American telling them what to think, what to do and how to act. Steve Blackman says he may not be experience in wrestling, but he's experienced in everything else and a fight is a fight. During the interview, Goldust is seen spinning around, looking at nothing at particular with black face paint and the letters "F-U" in gold in the front (mentioned before the next match to mean "Forever Unchained" by Jim Ross) and the words "Alive Again" in black on the back of his head.

Michael Cole interviews Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon). Bulldog says Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader) is in the Canadian domain, saying that Team USA will be losers and that Team Canada will dominate. Furnas says he used to be proud to be an American, but after America started honoring drugs, crime, slime and now degenerates, he is proud no more. He talks about the "America: love it or leave it" mantra and says he left.

Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon) beats Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader) with The British Bulldog as the sole survivor. During the match, Marc Mero moves Sable away from his team's corner after the fans chant Sable's name. Steve Blackman is eliminated by count-out when he fights off all of Team Canada at once both inside and outside of the ring. Goldust, now no longer accompanied by Marlena, is eliminated by count-out after he turns his back on Vader and refuses to let Vader tag out, forcing Vader to slap him in the face, toss him in the match and force him to wrestle. Goldust responds by walking to the back. saying he has a broken hand (covered in a black cast with the word "Freedom" in gold painted on it). The British Bulldog gets the win after hitting Vader with the ring bell as both referees are preoccupied with Doug Furnas.

Jacqueline Cook of Columbia, South Carolina is the winner of the WWF Survivor Series Super Supper Sweepstakes. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be the one taking Jacqueline and her friends out to dinner in her hometown.

Mankind says he doesn't want his match with Kane to be remembered as a wrestling match because it won't be one. He is facing a brick wall, and instead of walking around or climbing over, he's going to launch himself into it. When it does not fall, he will do it over and over again. He may die trying, but he may not, and if the wall goes down, it's just him and Paul Bearer, and when he sticks his two fingers down his throat, he will ask Bearer if he looks like a pebble now.

Kane beats Mankind in his debut match. At one point, Kane sends Mankind off the apron and into the Spanish commentary table with one hand, breaking the table down and hurting Spanish commentator Tito Santana.

Dok Hendrix interviews Ahmed Johnson, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk). Shamrock says they're here to take care of business, saying he's got the tag team champions to back them up and that Ahmed knows survival. Hawk says there is a lot of criminal elements in the WWF, and says they are the sergeants-at-arms and that they they will start with The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia). He tells The Nation that when they get through with them, they'll be lying face down in a pool of their own blood, hoping they have a friend to turn them on their backs so they don't drown in it.

The team of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) beat The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match with Shamrock as the sole survivor after making Rocky Maivia submit to the ankle lock submission, despite being smacked in the back with a steel chair by Maivia after eliminating D'Lo Brown with the same move.

In Your House: D-Generation X comes to pay-per-view on December 7th! (The music played here becomes D-Generation X's ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, "Ravishing" Rick Rude) theme on WWF programming the following night.)

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Owen Hart to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship! Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon rush back into the ring to go after Austin, but Austin hits them with the Stone Cold Stunner just like he did Owen.

We see a vignette involving multiple WWF Superstars mentioning their pre-WWF accolades and their injuries in the ring, before daring anyone to lace up their boots and say they're not athletes. (This is the first appearance of the "WWF scratch logo" and the "WWF Attitude" tagline.)

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart to win the WWF Championship. Before the match can begin, Shawn and Bret go at it outside of the ring, and referee's officials, WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter and even Vince McMahon all have to restore order as the donnybrook goes in and out of the crowd. The match ends when "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels puts Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the Sharpshooter and the bell is called for before Bret even has a chance to submit or continue. Shawn makes a hasty exit, and the pay-per-view hastily ends four minutes early. (In reality, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is on the way out of the WWF due to a better deal from World Championship Wrestling and disappointment with storyline ideas being pitched to him, and this ends up being Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's last match in the WWF. The original idea was for Bret to win the WWF Championship and then peacefully vacate it the next night, but Vince changed plans without notifying Bret and had Shawn win it off Bret in his hometown instead. The events of the match eventually go down in history as "The Montreal Screwjob.")

Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James says that while he cannot stand with "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn on the apron tonight, he does not mind standing next to The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn), as the four of them are Southern justice, and together, they will wreak havoc on some jerks right now.

The WWF Championship Title Series featuring title belts is available at Toys 'R Us by Jakks Pacific!

Henry O. Godwinn and "Road Dogg" Jesse James beat Thrasher and Blackjack Bradshaw after Road Dogg uses the ring bell as a weapon while the referee is pre-occupied with Blackjack Bradshaw. After the match, The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) brawl with The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) while Road Dogg and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn head to the back and let The Godwinns fend for themselves. The Headbangers and The New Blackjacks come out on top after forcing The Godwinns out of the ring. The Godwinns then confront Road Dogg and Billy Gunn on the stage.

Michael Cole interviews "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna. Triple H says this could be a huge weekend for D-Generation X ("The Hearbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna, Rick Rude), but so is every weekend as well as everything in general. He mocks Vader's size when he says he will have his hands full with him, and tells him it's not Vader Time, it's Jenny Craig time. As for George "The Animal" Steele, if he gets in his corner, it will be about sticking his foot so far up his butt that it will take all of New York's finest to pull it out. He tells Steele to keep out of DX's business, or it will be the last thing he will do.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 3, 1997

It is announced that the match between Sting and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was made official for Starrcade during a commercial break during the premiere of Assault On Devil's Island last Tuesday. We see a scene from the movie, then the press conference where Sting suddenly shows and signs the contract for the match before pointing his baseball bat at Hogan as he leaves.

Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero beats Rey Mysterio Jr. and Steven Regal with a Texas Cloverleaf to Rey after Malenko tags himself in before Eddie goes for the frog splash, much to Eddie's chagrin.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

It is announced that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has suffered nerve damage in his face after the events of Halloween Havoc and that there is no telling how long he will be out of action.

Fit Finlay beats Dave Taylor. Raven, Perry Saturn and Billy Kidman are seen heading to the front row during the match.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Lex Luger and The Giant in tag team action! Disco Inferno! The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian)!

Eric Bischoff cuts in on commentary via telephone, telling them that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan has challenged Sting on numerous occasions and has not hid from him, and that Sting is the coward. He says that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's injuries are consistent with brain damage that caused him to get in the steel cage with Hogan in the first place and that Sting suffers from similar brain damage. He also acknowledges the WWF and USA Network trying to put Assault On Devil's Island and Hulk Hogan down and steal Hogan's thunder, and calls all the attempts a miserable failure. He then announces that there will be more movies to come, and next week, the entire New World Order will be on hand with a huge surprise for everyone in WCW.

Yuji Nagata beats Psychosis with the Nagata Lock after Sonny Onoo kicks Psychosis in the face from the apron.

We hear another message from Raven: "Mrs. Landis' sixth-grade classroom. I sat in the third row, next to Teresa Hayes. It was there that I first discovered that alienation is a barren path. The taunting and the badgering by the other kids made me realize the depths of human evil and the dark underbelly of human society. I closed my eyes and pretended I was someone different, that I wasn't a misfit. You can't erase the dream, you can only wake me up. I didn't care. I never obeyed the rules 'cause even back then I realize that nothing in nature behaved so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of destruction. Quoth the Raven, nevermore."

Raven, Perry Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy and Stevie Richards are seen in the front row.

Perry Saturn beats Disco Inferno with The Rings of Saturn to win the WCW World Television Championship in his Nitro debut.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who shows his appreciation for the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He tells Curt Hennig that he will find him in the building and make sure he does that on the air, saying he will be Eric Lindross and Hennig will be Yeager. He dares Hennig, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to cut the sleeves off of his robe. He hopes to eliminate Hennig in the World War 3 match and go on to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour, and we see another performance by The Nitro Girls. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko replaces Bobby "The Brain" Heenan on commentary for the second hour.

Scott Hall is seen wearing a WCW Tag Team Championship belt around his waist as he heads to the ring. After seeing who is nWo for life and announcing that Kevin Nash and Syxx are at home in Phoenix, Arizona and Minneapolis, Minnesota respectively, he calls out "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, saying he is a decent announcer and on his best day as a wrestler, he couldn't touch The Wolfpack (Nash, Hall, Syxx) as his best day was about ten years ago. He tells Zbyszko he doesn't want any part of him because he can't even beat Eric Bischoff. After showing the footage of Hall and Bischoff's beating on Zbyszko at Halloween Havoc in typical nWo black-and-white, he then tells the backstage area to bring out Chris Jericho.

Chris Jericho beats Scott Hall after reversing The Outsider's Edge with a roll-up, then Hall hits Jericho in the back of the head and hits him with The Outsider's Edge not once, but twice before threatening to do the same to referee Billy Silverman. Hall is about to go for a third Outsider's Edge on Jericho when "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko leaves the commentary table and confronts Hall, telling him to sign the dotted line on his open contract in his hands. Hall walks away, and tells him he will be known by every fan as the biggest coward in the nWo who is afraid of a two-handicap broadcaster.

We see another report by Mike Tenay on lucha libre and the Mexican luchadores. This week's report is on the many high-risk maneuvers of lucha libre.

Barrett Brooks, Kevin Turner and Steve Everett of the Philadelphia Eagles are in the front row for tonight's show. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan joins commentary for the rest of the show.

The Giant shows up during a Cruiserweight Battle Royal and destroys everyone in the ring. Once the ring is cleared, The Giant says that's how you train for a battle royal before telling Kevin Nash he's the only big man in wrestling and that he will send him straight into the crowd in the World War 3 match.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats Alex Wright with the Figure Four Leg Lock.

Ray Traylor beats Steve "Mongo" McMichael. During the match, Bill Goldberg shows up with Mongo's Super Bowl ring on his pinky, and this is enough to distract Mongo.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page. Page says he is living a dream and doing exactly what he wants to do. Whether he is hurt or not, he's loving every minute of it. He announces that Halloween Havoc had the biggest pay-per-view viewing audience for a wrestling PPV of all time, and that he is honored to be part of the double main event. He says that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan calling him out jacks him up, and beating him by disqualification doesn't get it for him. What does get him is that he wrestled Savage with torn cartilage in my ribs on Sunday and then wrestled Hogan the next week, and he stood toe-to-toe with Hogan and both men gave it everything they had, and that Hogan still couldn't beat him. At 6'5" and 250 lbs., he is not he biggest or the strongest, but he has the most heart in the business today, as nobody wants it more than him. If he wins the World War 3 match and Hogan is still the champ, he knows Hogan a lot better and says Hogan should be worried.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) in a Philadelphia Street Fight.

We see a replay of what happened at last year's World War 3 Match.

Curt Hennig beats Lex Luger by disqualification and retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship after "The Nature Boy" Ric FLair attacks Hennig once again. Lex Luger then puts Hennig in the Torture Rack, but Flair continues to go after Hennig. Luger chases after Flair and catches him just before Flair can get his hands on Hennig on the way to the back, and confronts Flair for costing him the United States title as the show goes off the air.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 3, 1997

The show starts with Vince McMahon interviewing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the ring. When you do to Austin what Owen Hart did, it really pisses him off, and his match against Owen will not be a wrestling match; instead, it will be payback, as when he gets dropped on head and paralyzed, somebody's getting their ass whipped. On the subject of ticking everyone in the WWF off, everyone's pissed him off, as he wants not only the Intercontinental Championship but also Owen's ass, and says The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) and Ahmed Johnson were both at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that when somebody sticks their head in the ring with him - or when he sticks his head in the ring with somebody - somebody's getting their ass whipped, plain and simple. Ahmed Johnson shows up, surrounded by referees who try to keep him from getting in the ring with Austin. Ahmed says that he respected Austin up until last week, but after that, he crossed his end zone. He promises to kick Austin's ass if it's the last thing he does, and challenges him to a match tonight. Steve Austin asks the crowd to give him a "Hell Yeah" if they want to see Ahmed get his ass kicked, then says he'll be happy to beat the hell out of him on live television.

Sunny is special guest ring announcer for the next match, and "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher guests on commentary.

Aguila beats Super Crazy ton continue to the semi-finals of the Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament. During the match, it is announced that WWF President Gorilla Monsoon is feeling better after his stay in the hospital.

During the weekend, Jim Ross interviewed Dustin (Goldust) and Terri Runnels (Marlena). Terri says it was very hard being with Brian Pillman, with the hardest part being away from her two daughters and Goldust, and says it's great to have a relationship with her husband and be part of a family again. Life throws out so much ugly things, and family is always the first thing she runs to. She mentions that Dakota is in pre-school, and while she isn't a big fan of it, she loves being with her mom and is glad to have her home, and Terri has to tell her she went on a long vacation as that is the only way she can explain to Dakota what happened to her. Dustin suddenly says "I can't do this anymore," and says that everything coming out of her mouth sickens him. For so long, he has lived for his father and for her, and when he was interviewed about his father Dusty Rhodes, it made him cry because Dusty made his life a miserable wreck. He then says that for the last seven years he has spent with Terri, he has been treated like a puppy dog and that she scorns him when he doesn't do anything to her liking. He is sick of Terri disciplining him and keeping him from being himself, and says Terri knows nothing about his life. He says he is tired of living for her and her father, and when Terri was away, he reached out and found something that allowed him to be himself because Terri hasn't done it, and that he watched her occasionally and wonders what she could have been doing. He says that he has now found someone who understands him and allows him to be himself. He then tells Terri he loved her for a long time, but no more. Terri breaks down, and asks why. Dustin says he's done all he can for her, and that he is starting his life over and doing it for himself, and refuses to live for her or Dusty anymore. He tells Terri to take his ring, their marriage and Marlena and shove it up her ass because he's had it with "[her] and [her] shit."

We take a look back at what led to the match between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WWF Championship.

Ahmed Johnson shows up, wanting to take on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin right now, but instead of getting Austin, he gets Paul Bearer and Kane. Even Ahmed cannot bring Kane down, and he is next to fall victim to both a choke slam and Tombstone Piledriver from Kane. After a second Tombstone to Ahmed, Mankind shows up with a metal object and puts Paul Bearer in the Mandible Claw before hitting Kane with the metal object. As Mankind grabs a steel chair outside of the ring to protect Ahmed, Kane gets right back up, and referees have to keep Mankind and Kane apart.

After the break, it is announced that Ahmed Johnson is receiving medical attention. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin then shows up and says Ahmed Johnson was going to get his ass whipped, and that's what happened. He then says that Ahmed got off light, as he would have opened a real can of whoop-ass and fed it to him with a spoon. He then says that if Ahmed can still get in the ring, he'll take him on. If not, he'll face anybody else in the locker room. As he waits, he tells someone to get him a hot dog and a beer. He finally get a challenge in the form of The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia), and Kama Mustafa is the one to step up. Suddenly, Austin gives Kama a stunner while The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) attack the rest of The Nation. As referees try to get The Nation and The Legion of Doom apart, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin heads to the back with a smile on his face.

The introduction to the show replays to signal the start of War Zone.

Michael Cole interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the ring. Instead of Shawn, everyone gets "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who tells all "the fat, out-of-shape Pennsylvania pissants" to button their lips and open their eyes as he introduces D-Generation X (Shawn, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, Rude). Shawn kisses both Triple H and Chyna on the lips, then then Triple H takes the microphone and says they've come out here week after week giving everyone a hard time, and shakes Michael Cole's hands for sticking it out that long before pushing him back, causing him to fall over Chyna. Cole leaves the ring, then Shawn takes the microphone, puts himself a pedestal, and then decides to take it one level higher and says he will always be known as the wrestling god, but Triple H stops him before he can finish that statement and Shawn makes fun of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. Triple H says Shawn that to be a god, you have to be as old as god. He also takes potshots at the Halloween Havoc cage match, calling it "Age in the Cage." Shawn says Triple H has made his point, then says he will show Bret "The Hit Man" Hart he is the man. He says showing his bare bottom is nothing compared to what he will do next week: walk out to the ring naked and take "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and show him "The World's Most Dangerous...Man." Triple H says D-Generation X calls the shots, and tells WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to come out to the ring and make the match official. As Sgt. Slaughter asks Shawn if he wants the mask, Triple H and Shawn run to a pair of paper bags and pull out riot helmets and put them. He asks again, then they run to the bag again and place windshield wipers on the face masks of the riot helmets. Sgt. Slaughter says that they had ways of straightening guys like them out in boot camp, then gives Shawn the match, then adds a stipulation: it's taking place tonight, not next week. When Shawn and Triple H pull the face guards on the riot helmets up, Sgt. Slaughter finally spits at them. Shawn says that boot camp may have ways of straightening guys like him out, but this is the World Wrestling Federation and he'll straighten him out. As soon as Shawn says this is the WWF, Vince says "It sure is," and the crowd suddenly cheers, causing Shawn to stop talking and say "I'm Shawn Michaels! You can't talk to me that way!"

Marc Mero drags Sable out of her dressing room before she can finished getting dressed for the ring.

Savio Vega tells Marc Mero that tonight is revenge for what Mero did to Miguel Perez last week.

Marc Mero beats Savio Vega with another low blow before the TKO after Sable distracts the referee, thanks to Vega trying to grab her by her hair. Michael Cole tries to interview Sable after the match, but Mero butts in and declares the interview over, telling Cole that if he wants to talk to a superstar, he should talk to him.

Before the next match, it is announced that The Patriot is out with a torn tricep, and a decision will be made over the weekend on who will take his place. Also, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon accompany The British Bulldog to the ring along with Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, and Jim Ross notes the irony of Doug Furnas being in The Bulldog's corner on commentary, stating that Furnas is an American and from Commerce, Oklahoma while LaFon is Canadian and from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

During the next match, Michael Cole interviews Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon, asking why they are part of Team Canada for Survivor Series. LaFon says he is from Canada, while Furnas says that the American fans didn't care when they were in an auto accident five years ago and didn't write any letters to him, yet other fans around the world did. He implies that America can kiss his ass.

Vader beats The British Bulldog in a Dog Collar Match. After the match, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon. All of a sudden, a man in a white tanktop, black slacks and black sneakers jumps the barrier, gets in the ring and fights off the three of them with competent martial arts ability. Vader has to place himself on top of him to keep Neidhart, Furnas and LaFon from attacking this man. Referees, officials and police officers get in the ring, and after order is restored, this man is escorted out of the arena. Vince McMahon reminds the viewers at home that while WWF encourages fan participation, they do not recommend doing what that man just did.

Before the next match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn call Los Boricuas (Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada Jr.) a stepping stone for them.

"Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beat Los Boricuas (Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada Jr.) when Billy Gunn stops a pinfall by Jesus Castillo with a splash from the top rope before placing Road Dogg on top of Jesus as the referee is preoccupied with Jose Estrada Jr. During the match, it is announced that The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) have been asked to leave the arena after a verbal altercation with WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels by disqualification when Chyna distracts the referee as Shawn taps to the ankle lock submission while "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who showed up midway through the match, hits Shamrock in the back with the steel Halliburton briefcase. The referee then turns around to see D-Generation X (Shawn, Triple H, Chyna, Rude) attacking Shamrock, then Triple H pedigrees Shamrock into the steel Halliburton briefcase to end the show.

New York, New York - WWF New York recap for November 1, 1997

Scott Taylor and Taka Michinoku beat "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Yoshihiro Tajiri in a Light Heavyweight Division tag team match. Brian Christopher turns on Tajiri after the match.

Jim Cornette is sick and tired of wrestlers calling themselves wrestling icons, saying that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels is one of the single greatest talents inside of the ring but is an adolescent, obnoxious jerk who takes his tights and goes home if he doesn't get his way outside of it. He says that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is also a great talent, but says that if he screwed by the WWF as often as he says he was, he'd have struck oil by now. He says "Macho Man" Randy Savage is a legend, but asks how many records Frank Sinatra sold last year. He then focuses on the steel cage match between "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at WCW Halloween Havoc, saying the match was only the greatest in three weeks since Badd Blood's Hell In A Cell Match and that it included a 46-year-old bald movie star wanna-be who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build (Hogan) and a guy with an artificial hip who hasn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years (Piper), calling it a tribute to the massive egotism of both men and an indictment of WCW's promotional policies that this match even took place, much less be in the main event, when the card for Halloween Havoc was probably the best of what WCW was capable of having. He says that both Piper and Hogan were so winded after the ten-minute mark that the first three rows died of oxygen deprivation, which would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Cornette says he is tired of men claiming they're the icon, especially from guys who didn't know when to quit, stating that Piper was his idol when he was a teenager...which was twenty years ago. He calls Hogan in his best years "50% media creation" and that those years are long gone. He calls the match a slap in the face to every wrestler who takes pride in his profession, and no one man is bigger than the sport. He says that if there really is an icon, it would be a man of great ability in the ring, and professionalism and maturity outside of it. He calls for the "I make more money than you B.S." to be left outside with the hat check girls and calls for a focus on talent and attitude. He says The Undertaker, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin have never claimed to be icons, which makes them prime candidates to be just that - icons. He then tells Hogan that he is a household word, but so is garbage, and it stinks when it gets old, too.
