UPCOMING HART TITLE REIGN?
Reports are that Bret
Hart could make a title run this summer. Kevin Nash and
the WCW booking
committee are going to be gauging the length of his reign
according to fan
response, and will either continue into the summer, or drop
the
title to Sting in
June. Either way, look for Hart to challenge the champion in
a
summer feud; actually,
despite his downtime, Hart could make a very credible
champion...

MARK HENRY RETURNS
Mark Henry is set to
begin a full wrestling schedule in the next couple of
weeks, and will begin
a heel character like he attempted as a member of the
Nation of Domination.
The WWF feels that Henry got over as a fan favorite, and
can legitimately
attract monster heat with a turn on D'Lo and an assault on
Ivory
(as I have heard). If
all goes well, and the Godfather continues his push, look
for Sexual Chocolate
to begin a long feud with the "hardest woking pimp in the
business."

ROUNDING THE SQUARED
CIRCLE
RAW -
MAY 10,1999 - ORLANDO, FL

Tonight's program came
from The City Beautiful, Home of DisneyWorld, SeaWorld,
Universal Studios, and
every other "World" you can think of (i.e., Tire World,
Insurance World,
Hubcap World, etc.) and began with a clips from last weeks
tag
team match between The
Undertaker and Triple H v. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve
Austin (SCSA). The
'Taker and Triple H threw The Rock and SCSA off the top of
the
platform, with The
Rock suffering a broken arm.
We next saw The
Corporate Ministry (CM) arriving. Included were Shane, The
'Taker The Fat Man,
Triple H, Chyna, The Bossman, Viscera, Midian and The Mean
Street
Pussies [Rodney and
Pete Gas].
Next we saw Mr.
McMahon and The Union arriving, escorted by three riot
policemen. Included
were The Big Show, Test, Mankind and Nutso.
After the RAW opening,
JR and The King were at the desk.
The lights went out
and when they came back on, Kane came to the ring. We saw a
clip from last night's
Heat of Bad @$$ attacking X-Pac and Kane spending the
rest of the night
hunting him down. This set up the first match, Kane v. Bad
@$$. As Bad @$$ neared
the ring, some very fine young blonde thing ran up to him
and was escorted away
by a security official. Bad @$$ looked truly surprised by
it all. Kane went out
and began pounding Bad @$$ at ringside and then threw him
into the ring and
continued mauling him. Bad @$$ decided he would rather be at
DisneyWorld and tried to
leave. Kane dragged his @$$ back to the ring. Bad @$$
tried to come back b
going after Kane's legs, but Kane overwhelmed him. Kane got
hung up upside down in
the ropes and Bad @$$ pounded on him, refusing to allow
the referee to free
him. X-Pac and Road Dogg raced down. While X-Pac tried to
free Kane, Doggie and
Bad @$$ fought out into the crowd and disappeared. D-Lo
Brown and Mark Henry
stormed down with Ivory. They jumped X-Pac and Kane. The
crowd chanted "D-Lo
sucks." They kept it up until Kane managed to get free and
then they took off as
fast as their fat little tree stumps would let them.
No winner announced
We saw McMahon and The
Union on their way to the ring, accompanied by the three
riot policemen.
We saw Shane and CM on
their way to the ring.
We got a shot of
Monica Seles, who was among the crowd watching the action.
The
Union came to the ring.
McMahon took the mic and said Shane had ripped the
family apart and we
can now "Look for the Union Label." He called Shane and CM
out.
Shane and CM came out
to the top of the ramp. Shane said he didn't need Dear Old
Dad (DOD) or his
family. He heard his personal chant .. "@$$hole." He said he
has his own family,
the CM, and tonight will destroy DOD and The Union, and "it
will all be mine."
The lights went out
again and when they came back on, WWF Commissioner Shawn
"HBK" Michaels
appeared on The TitanTron. He said the weather in
San Antonio is
better than
Orlando's. Note to HBK:
Horsesh*t, Orlando's worse day beats San
Antonio's
best. HBK said Shane's matchmaking last week left a lot to
be
desired, so as
Commissioner, he was making changes to tonight's card. But
first
he had a change for
the Main Event at the WWF's next PPV, Over-The-Edge (OTE).
He announced a second
Special Referee as DOD. Shane went wild.
He then announced
eight matches for tonight:
1. Acolyte v. Acolyte,
Bradshaw v. Farooq, in a Lumberjack Match, with The
Union
being the Lumberjacks.
2. A Nightstick On A
Pole Match between Test and The Bossman. The first man to
get the Nightstick
"can stick it where the sun don't shine."
3. A Rematch between
The Geriatric Stooges, Pat Paterson and Jerry Briscoe, v.
MSP, with a
Stipulation (there's that word again), Loser leaves the WWF
forever.
Note To MSP: Don't let
the door hit you in the @$$ on you way out.
4. Nutso v. Chyna,
World's Most Dangerous Man v. World's Most Dangerous Woman.
5. The Big Show v.
"The Meanest, Baddest Man, The 10th, 11th and 12th Most
Dangerous Man In The
World, The Fat
Man. With that, Fatso
collapsed. His black
pants hid the brown
and yellow stains. He added a Stipulation (again!) that if
any of CM comes to the
ring to help Fatty, The 'Taker will forfeit his Title
Shot at
OTE.
6. A Hardcore Handicap
Match, pitting Viscera and Midian v. Cactus Jack, making
a one-time only
appearance. The crowd popped big at the mention of Cactus
Jack's
name.
7. A WWF Women's Title
Match, between Sable (C) and Debra. He made it an Evening
Gown Match and if
Sable doesn't show, he will "strip her of the only thing she
hasn't taken off, the
WWF Belt."
8. The main Event, a
Six Man Tag Team Match pitting CM, The 'Taker, Triple H and
Shane v. The Rock,
SCSA and DOD. The crowd loved it.
As HBK started to
announce who the Special Referee for the Main Event would
be,
Shane cut him off and
said he would name the Special Referee.
HBK called him a
"Simpleton" and a "Nimrod," and instructed the Riot
Policemen
to remove their masks.
The one was
Paterson, the second was
Briscoe, and the
third .. HBK!! He was
in
Orlando, not San Antonio. HBK
took the mic and said he
will be the Guest
Referee. The crowd erupted.
The next match was The
Show v. Fatso. Show came to the ring and waited. Fatso
finally came out and
said "No F'N way." HBK came out and dragged his lard @$$ to
the ring and rolled
(literally) him in. HBK joined the announcers. Fatso begged,
but Show couldn't care
less. He nailed Fatso with a big foot to the face and
that knocked him into
the
Georgia. The building moved a
few feet when he fell..
Show then dropped an
elbow on Fatso and the ring shook. Show went over to HBK
and asked to have the
Stipulation removed. He wanted The Dead Man. Ever
agreeable, HBK told
him to have a ball. Show called The Taker out. The Taker
reluctantly came to
ringside. The Show dropped another elbow on Fatso. its a
good thing they were
using a Deluxe Reinforced Acme Ring and Mat. CM charged in
and jumped The Show.
The
Union rushed down with their
Acme 2x4's and made the
save.
Winner - The Big Show
- Big Surprise
Loser - The Fat Man
We saw Debra heading
to the ring wearing a tight red Evening Gown. The Puppies
were rearing their
pretty heads.
We saw Sable just
finished having her hair done. She was wearing a bikini
bottom
and halter top,
covered by a long lace wrap. Her Puppies were definitely
struggling for fresh
air. Her bodyguard, Gender Challenged Nicole Bass (It)
uglied up the room.
Debra was first to the
ring and The King dusted off his Puppy Jokes. HBK wasn't
too shabby at it
either. Sable came to ring accompanied by It. HBK called It
"One big dude." Sable
took the mic and did her usual bit and then The Grind. The
men ate it up. The
King swallowed his bubble gum. Val Venis came to ringside
and
Debra went over to
greet him. Sable charged over and tore Debra's Evening Gown
off, stripping her to
bra and panties. Sable was announced as the winner.
It went out after Val,
who backed up the ramp away from her. As he reached the
top of the ramp, he
turned and got nailed by JJ's Acme Guitar No. 3679
(unofficial count). It
wasn't too happy. Note to JJ: You better sleep with both
eyes open.
Michael Bass got into
the ring and started to ask Sable about her victory, but
was cut short by HBK
who came in and took the mic away. HBK told Sable as The
Commissioner, he makes
the rules for matches and for an Evening Gown Match, the
winner is the one who
loses her Gown. He said with Puppies like that, pointing
to Debra, and ones
that haven't been seen yet, Debra was the winner. Sable went
ballistic. She about
set It on HBK. Debra was all smiles.
Winner - Debra - New
WWF Women's Champion
Winners - The fans -
Any Puppies in a storm
Loser - Val Venis
We saw a split screen
of The Rock, SCSA and DOD getting ready in separate locker
rooms.
We saw Shane giving
Triple H and The 'Taker a pep talk.
The next match was the
Night Stick On A Pole Match, pitting Test v. The Bossman.
The Night Stick was
atop a 15 foot pole in one corner. Prior to the match, we
saw a clip from last
weeks Four Corner Match won by Test, who was then beat up
by the other three,
including Bossman. The crowd chanted "Bossman Sucks." Test
went for the Night
Stick first and Bossman grabbed him by the trunks. We may
not
have seen Puppies, but
we sure saw a Full Moon. The match got very physical as
they each stopped the
other's attempts to get the Nightstick. Test was finally
able to get it, but
when he went to use it, was nailed by what looked to be a
Steel Baton the
Bossman had hidden in his boot. Test tried a Flip but
Bossman
was able to prevent
it. He hit Test in the head with the Night Stick and it was
Game, Set, Match.
Winner - The Bossman
We saw Cactus Jack
backstage. He picked up two basketballs and headed to the
ring.
Michael Cole talked
with Val Venis backstage. Val said Debra wants him (Note to
Val: Your a male, that
qualifies you in her book). He called JJ out and said
JJ's Guitar will never
measure up to The Big Valbowski. Writers Note: Does
anything?
The next match was the
Handicap Hardcore Match, pitting CM members Viscera and
Midian v. "The King Of
Hardcore," Cactus Jack, making a one-time only
appearance. Jack came
out carrying a basketball. There were other weapons on the
ramp. Viscera and
Midian met Jack on the ramp and the match got underway. The
crowd chanted "Foley."
There weren't too many weapons used in the match, mainly
an Acme Metal Trash
Can and an Acme Steel Chair, both products of the Acme Steel
Company, Division of
The Acme Corporation. Viscera and Midian dominated early,
but Jack fought back
and took command after a Double DDT. Jack finally won after
a back kick to
Viscera's Corporate Jewels, followed by a Flying Chair Shot
from
the apron to Viscera's
ponderous hulk on the floor.
Winner - Cactus Jack -
The King Of Hardcore
Michael Cole talked
with Chyna backstage about her match v. Nutso. She said
"every 28 days she
gets a little bit moody, and yesterday was number 27." What
do you suppose she
meant? She added that she planned to rip off Nutso's bal*s
and stomp them. The
very thought hurts.
We saw a montage of
Steve "The Lethal Weapon" Blackman practicing the martial
arts. The start of a
push?
The next match was a
Lumberjack Match, pitting Acolyte v. Acolyte, Bradshaw v.
Farooq, with The Union
as The Lumberjacks. Test, Nutso and The Big Show can out
with their Acme Lumber
Company 2x4's in hand. Mankind was absent. Farooq took
the mic and said "punk
@$$ HBK was going to make them fight for your [the crowd]
amusement ... I don't
think so." He said Bradshaw knew who the better of the two
were. Bradshaw took
the mic and told Farooq "I can out drink and out fight you."
They exchanged a few
more pleasantries and then began fighting. Mankind showed
up. Each time one of
the Acolytes was sent to the floor, they were put back in,
but not until pounded
a bit by the Lumberjacks. They hit each other with several
power moves and were
really going at each other when other CM members, The
Bossman, Viscera and
Midian came to the ring. Bossman acted as a mediator and
after a few moments,
all took off leaving Visera alone in the ring. Whether
intentional or not,
the Lumberjacks decided to try out their Acme 2x4's on him.
They pounded his fat
@$$ for a while.
Winner - None
Announced - Bradshaw and Farooq left to share a Cappuccino
Mocha
and make nice
We saw The Geriatric
Stooges, Paterson and Briscoe, on their way to the ring.
They were boasting
about all their victories, going back to Paterson helping
David defeat Goliath
in A Loser Leaves The Holy Land, Small Man / Big Man Match.
The next match was a
tag team event pitting MSP, Rodney and Pete Gas, v. The
Geriatric Stooges, in
a rematch from last week. Prior to the match we saw a clip
from last weeks match,
won by The Geriatric Stooges, who kicked MSP's gold
plated @$$es back to
their favorite Starbuck's in Greenwich, Connecticut. The
Stooges were wearing
Acme Motorcycle Helmets as they made their way their way to
the ring. I am a Real
American played as they came out. Yikes, Batman, its 1989
again! In a display of
rather poor sportsmanship that could get them barred from
the Greenwich Country
Club, Rodney and Pete attacked the two fossils on the
ramp. They put
Paterson bEddie -bye on the floor and dragged Briscoe's'
wrinkled
bod into the ring and
committed Geriatric Abuse on him. Paterson finally woke up
(must have been
Pudding Time) and limped into the ring. He used his helmet
to
good advantage and
took command. Briscoe applied a Figure Four and Paterson a
Boston Crab and got
double submissions. We waved tata to MSP. After the match,
Paterson took his
shirt off (it was not a pretty sight) and did the old Hulk
Hogan "ear to the
crowd routine." The crowd loved it. That's two weeks in a
row
that the old guys got
cheers. Will miracles never cease?
Winners - The
Geriatric Fossils
Losers - MSP - Their
@$$es are history - They will not be missed
We again visited The
Michael Cole Show backstage. This time his guest The
World's Most Dangerous
Man, as well as The World's Craziest Man, Nutso. Cole
asked him about his
match v. Chyna. Nutso said he was brought up never to hit a
woman and didn't know
what to do. He talked about his childhood in a home and
the values he was
brought up with. There wasn't a dry eye in sight.
The next match pitted
Val Venis v. JJ, accompanied by Debra, her Ladies
Championship Belt, and
her "Puppies." JJ came to the ring first and imitated Val
with a "Hello,
Ladies," adding that Val was PO'd, but so was he. Val wasn't
all
that enthused about it
as he stormed in and was all other JJ in the ring and out
on the floor. The
crowd chanted "We want Puppies." They did so thru most of
the
match. Debra feigned
flashing them. The King did his "Dog Lover Routine." JJ
came back and took
control of the match, then both came close to getting a pin.
Val hit a Side Russian
Leg Sweep that brought Debra up on the apron, where she
opened her jacket,
letting The Puppies breathe. She removed the jacket entirely
and the crowd panted
in anticipation. Val went up to deliver The Money Shot but
when he spotted The
Puppies getting some air, went over and laid a big wet one
on Debra. She slapped
him and JJ cold cocked (no pun intended) him with Debra's
Belt. JJ covered Val
and Debra put The Puppies back in their house. The love
match between Debra
and Val looks like it was a set up all along. Val will have
to find a new costar
for his next video.
Winner - JJ
Winners - The fans -
Got a little view of The Puppies
Losers - The fans -
Didn't get to see all of The Puppies
We saw Chyna and Nutso
on their way to the ring.
We saw another
Cleavage home video. This time poor Beaver Cleavage had a
cut on
his knee and Mommy
Cleavage was tending to it. The Beaver said "When it comes
to
working on your knees,
my mom is the expert." Maybe Val won't have to look too
far after all.
The next match was
Nutso v. Chyna. The World's Most Dangerous Man v. The
World's
Most Dangerous Woman.
Though barred from the ring by HBK, Triple H accompanied
Chyna.
Prior to the match we
saw a clip from last week of the match between Nutso and
Triple H, with Chyna
as Special Guest Referee. Triple H won with help from Ms.
Sweetness
and Light with The
Pedigree. Nutso came to the ring and told the referee he
didn't want to fight a
woman. Chyna took exception to his "backing down" and
shoved him and slapped
him across the face twice. Triple H got in Nutso's face
also.
Saying that's all I
can stand, I can't stands no more, Nutso got tired of it and
grabbed Chyna by the
throat. Triple H jumped Nutso from behind to try and get him
to
release his lady love.
Chyna shoved the referee out of the way and went after
Nutso. Wrong move!
Nutso nailed her with a belly-to-belly suplex and left the
ring pondering the
whole male / female thing.
The match never took
place
We saw The Rock, SCSA
and McMahon, as well as HBK on their way to the ring.
The next match was a
Six Man Tag Team Event pitting CM Members The 'Taker, Triple
H
and Shane v. The Rock,
SCSA and McMahon, with HBK as Special Guest Referee. HBK
came out first,
followed by The CM. Shane instructed Chyna to keep an eye on
HBK
during the match. The
crowd chanted "@$$hole" at Shane. McMahon came down the
ramp first for his
team, followed by The Rock, who got a major pop. Triple H
went out
and attacked McMahon
as he approached the ring. He threw him in to The 'Taker,
who wiped him out with
a Chokeslam and a Tombstone Pile Driver. McMahon was
dragged out to the
floor where he had TV Cables wrapped around his throat.
Triple H
and The Rock fought on
the ramp. SCSA came out to a tremendous pop and went at
it with The 'Taker.
Triple H and The Rock went at it. Shane took a shot from The
People's Cast and was
knocked silly. The action was fast and furious in the
ring, at ringside and
out into the crowd. A chant of "Rocky" went up. SCSA sent
Triple H hard into a
turn buckle and The Rock caught him with The Rock Bottom as
he
staggered in the ring.
Shane and DOD got back into things and fought in the
ring. SCSA nailed
Shane with a Stunner and DOD covered him. SCSA pulled DOD
off
of Shane and hit him
with another Stunner and covered him himself to gain the
victory. SCSA and HBK
opened a few Steveweisers and downed them. The crowd loved
it.
Winners - The Rock,
SCSA and Dear Old Dad
Loser - Shane - Took
two Stunners
Another outstanding
show by the WWF. It should also silence a lot of the critics
who have been
complaining about the lack of actual wrestling.
