WWF RAW Report
for November 9th, 1998
By
Steve Appy
WWF
European Champion X-Pac fought The
Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) to a
No
Contest in 1:23
X-Pac
was hyped to be a huge underdog against UT,
and he's elevated even
being
in a pushed match against The Undertaker.
Kane stormed the ring
and
tried to throw a fireball at UT, which
missed and hit X-Pac in the
face.
DX should have come out and beat the hell
out of Kane, both for
the
fire and for interfering in X-Pac's match.
The story is that
X-Pac
suffered an eye injury, as The New Age
Outlaws consoled him.
Vince
McMahon and the stooges gave Mankind a pep
talk, informing him
that he
would defend his "title" against Ken
Shamrock in a falls count
anywhere match. McMahon and Mankind have
great chemistry together.
Val
Venis defeated Steve Blackman via
disqualification in 3:17
Terri
Runnells tried to join Venis at ringside,
which caused Val to
throw
her out. The match ended when Terri hit
Venis with a low blow
from
behind, leading to Owen Hart & The Blue
Blazer attacking Blackman. I
keep
hearing three names as possibly ending up as
The Blue Blazer:
TEddie Hart, Phil Lafon, and sometimes Jeff
Jarrett. We will see.
Head
Banger Mosh defeated Road Dog Jesse James &
D-Lo Brown in a
Triple
Threat Match in 5:35 when Mosh pinned D-Lo
Brown
Shane
McMahon was the referee. The Headbangers
carried their toy
belts
to the ring. All three men had their tag
team partners at
ringside. Unless its an all out brawl, these
Triple Threat matches
rarely
work. Mosh pinned James after The Stage
Dive.
In a
loaded interview, Jeff Jarrett and Debra
McMichael challenged Al
Snow.
Jarrett told Snow "that Debra has something
for your little
head".
Debra was intent to prove that Snow really
is a man. Although
her
character is trash, there is something
appealing about her, a
nasty
charisma.
Mankind
was shown having his toe nails painted,
mourning the loss of
Mr.
Socko. He was happy to find a new family,
though (McMahon,
Brisco,
Patterson & Slaughter).
Goldust
defeated Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra McMichael)
via disqualification
in
3:25
Before
the match Goldust told Terri to get lost.
Goldust had
Jarrett
ready for the Shattered Dream, and Debra
distracted Goldust by
offering herself to him. Goldust responded
by kissing Debra, a kiss
she
seemed to enjoy. Jarrett then snuck up
behind Goldust and nailed
him
with the guitar.
Michael
Cole interviewed The Rock, and he insulted
McMahon and Mark
Henry.
When the interview concluded, Jarrett and
Golddust were shown
brawling in the back. This prompted The Blue
Blazer to act, who attacked
Goldust.
Have you noticed that The Blazer always
seems to be involved
with
Jarrett; maybe Jarrett plays the Blazer when
Owen has to be seen,
and the
opposite when Jarrett competes.
"WWF
Hardcore Champion" Mankind pinned
Intercontinental Champion Ken
Shamrock in
8:10 in a
Falls Count Anywhere Match.
Mankind
wore a tuxedo in the match. Shamrock nailed
Foley in the head
with
The Hardcore belt. Good action, though tame
by Cactus Jack
standards. Vince McMahon, flanked by The
Boss Man and the stooges,
watched
from the ramp. As they brawled near the
executives, The Big
Boss
Man cracked Shamrock in the head with his
night stick. Foley
scored
the pin on the ramp.
Off
camera, The Rock was attacked backstage. He
suffered a blow to
the
back of the head. Maybe The Bossman hit
Maivia with the nightstick?
We cut
to an interview with Stone Cold Steve
Austin. The Big Boss Man
confronted
Austin, and
they told each other back and forth that
they
would
kick the other's ass.
Blah
Blah, just saved by both men's charisma
(even Boss Man has tons
of
intensity).
They
hyped their first round matchup in The
Survivor Series.
Austin
enjoyed
a SteveWeiser after the confrontation.
An
injured Rock was shown; Vince McMahon
repeated the stipulations for
The
Rock's match against Mark Henry. If Maivia
can't defeat Henry
tonight, he will be fired from the WWF. If
he wins, he will be
allowed
back in the Survivor Series tournament. If
he can't compete
tonight, that means The Rock hits the
unemployment line.
Tiger
Ali Singh pinned Al Snow in 2:19
Singh
refused to wrestle the schizophrenic Snow,
and sent Babu in
his
place. Debra fondled Head against her bosom,
which distracted
Snow.
At that point, Singh ran in the ring, took
Babu's place, and
scored
the pin. There was no attempt to explain how
this was legal.
Kane
defeated Edge (w/Gangrel & WWF Lightweight
Champion Christian)
via
disqualification in
4:23
After
The Brood interfered, Kane chokeslammed all
three Brood members
and the
referee. He stacked them all together and
poured gasoline on
them,
with the idea of setting all of them on
fire. As he prepared,
other
WWF referee's dragged all four out of the
ring. Bizarre.
Vince
McMahon was wheeled to ringside, preparing
to watch The Rock VS.
Mark
Henry showdown. Vince mocked the Rock,
comparing him to The
Dallas
Cowboys.
Vince
was confronted by "The Lowly Referee" Shane
McMahon. This time,
Shane
tried to make up with his dad. After Vince
warned Shane to get
out of
his face, and Shane refused, Vince ordered
The Big Boss Man to
attack
Shane. Stone Cold ran out and saved his
little buddy from a
beating. Does this make
Austin cool,
since he's pals with the great
Shane
McMahon?
Austin ran The
Boss Man off, and chatted with his new
buddy.
The
Rock pinned Mark Henry (w/D-Lo Brown)
Maivia's entrance was delayed, since he was
selling his injury from
earlier
in the night. Rocky was still wearing his
street clothes;
remember, if Henry wins the match, The Rock
must leave the WWF. If he
wins,
he gets to stay, plus compete in The
Survivor Series Title
Tournament. The Boss Man tried to interfere,
which Rocky reversed,
trapping The Boss Man with his own
handcuffs. The Rock had Henry
pinned,
which caused D-Lo to drag the referee out of
the ring. Maivia
hit The
Rock Bottom and The People's Elbow, and
Shane McMahon ran to
the
ring and completed the three count. Since
The Boss Man was still
trapped, Rocky threw a defenseless Vince
McMahon into the ring. After
Vince
slapped The Rock he fell victim to The Rock
Bottom and The
People's Elbow.
The
Rock really is stealing Stone Cold's
thunder; usually only Austin
or The
Undertaker is allowed to beat up Vince. His
popularity is
skyrocketing.

NP:Dream Theater-Once In A Livetime
Hello
Jerichoholics!!
Sorry
its been awhile since the last time, but
Webmaster Lee once
again
had the nerve to go on vacation to
Bermuda. I
hope he had a
great
time, but its time to go back to work. What
do you think I pay
you
for?
Well
for everybody who always asks when my
birthday is...its
tomorrow! The strange thing is that I was
born on
November 9
1970 in
Long Island,
New York. On November 9 1998, I'll be
wrestling in Long
Island,
New York! What a coincidence, huh?!?
I'd
like to shout out a well wish and a prayer
to Mark Curtis. Keep
on
fighting, vato!
Good
news for hardcore, true wrestling fans! The
WCW braintrust has
finally
decided to book the long overdue series of
matches between
Chris
Jericho and Eddie Guerrerovs Chris Benoit
and Dean Malenko. You
won't
see a better tag team match than this and
after seeing it,
you'll
wonder what the heck Uncle Eric was thinking
when he abolished
tag
teams! If you're lucky enough to be in
Knoxville, TN
on Nov 29,
Philadelphia
on Dec 29 and New York on Dec 30, be sure to
check it
out.
There's also a date in
Kansas City as
well, but I'm not sure
when
exactly. I feel
sorry
for anyone who has to follow this match!!!
I went
to the Tampa Bucs game last week vs the
Vikings and it was a
lot of
fun. I'm going to see the Rangers play the
Lightning this
Tuesday
and it'll be my first game of the season, so
I'm stoked!!
I went
to NWO Sting's wedding yesterday and it was
beautiful. I was
joined
by Brian Adams, Mike Rotunda and Black Cat
and referee
extraordinaire Masao Hattori from New
Japan Pro
Wrestling. It was
great
to see them again and I can't wait to return
to
Japan!!!
The
movie of the week is Trees Lounge by Steve
Buscemi. I love that
guy, he
plays a great loser.
As far
as the shirts go, they've stopped playing
the commercial
because
they're selling so well. They don't want
them to sell too
well,
because egos may be bruised. Screw it I
say! Keep ordering
them at
1-800-WCW-8661. Check on my page for more
details. Let's
sell so
many of the darn things, that they'll never
deny the power of
the
Jerichoholics!!
Take
care and god bless you guys!

I agree
with you about the Rock's popularity. Don't
get me wrong,
Stone
Cold is one of my favorite wrestlers
anywhere. But the Rock is
just
becoming THE MAN. He was stupid with The
Nation, but now alone
he is
great. He has a perfect gimmick for the WWF.
He is funny and now
combines some great wrestling skills.
The
People's Elbow is the best move in WWF,
along with the Stunner.
Recently I attended a house show in
Charlotte,
North Carolina, and
when
The Rock did this move, the fans erupted. It
gets everyone
going.
If you watch Raw, Heat, or Shotgun, you can
visibly see the
same
results when the Rock does this move.
I think
The Rock would make a great WWF champion for
a while. I don't
think
many fans would object to him winning
Survivor Series and
holding
the title for a few months. He should be the
"People's World
Heavyweight Champion".
In the
meantime
Austin should
feud with others like Shamrock,
Undertaker, and
Mankind
for the Intercontinental Championship. Give
The Rock his due
and a
chance to prove he is a worthy WWF
champion!!!!

Hi, I
was just reading the latest edition of your
wrestling sheet. I
agree
with your comments on the recent ECW
wrestlers that have left
for
WCW. Being the hardcore Sandman fan that I
am, I was a little
upset
that he left for WCW, but I'm still a fan of
his. There is a
possibility that he will do well in WCW, and
I'll be in the stands
cheering him on.
Raven and
Saturn I liked in ECW, they're doing okay in
WCW.
Malenko and Benoit are Horseman, good
choices there. The ECW guys
give
110% in the ring, and maybe that's why I
like the fed so much,
but
when a guy leaves that kind of lifestyle for
another federation
less
taxing on his body, he shouldn't be labeled
as a
sell
out.
its exciting
to see guys like New Jack jump off of
balcony, but it isn't necessary, I'd like
him regardless, he's already
over
with the crowd with the trash cans.
Sandman was
the Extreme Icon,
cane &
beer % cigarettes, got beat down, got back
up, got cheered. His
entrance was the best I the fed. It would be
great to see him do well
in WCW.
Enough of my babble. Keep up the good work.
