Wrasslin' Raw

Everyone gets a rager this week! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at the Monday Night Raw following the Cold Day in Hell Pay Per View. Besides a weak debut from Scott Putski, strong matches featuring Ahmed Johnson, Savio Vega, and Rob Van Dam round out the card. We get the finish to the Goldust exposé, a cluster of a 4-way Tag Team Elimination match, and a very satisfying send-off to the worst hype men ever. Any time Crush gets punched in the face, we're going to like it!

Vader finally put someone over! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys sit down to talk about In Your House 15: Cold Day In Hell, another 'sleeper' Pay Per View that often gets overlooked. Great matches featuring Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Ken Shamrock, Rocky Maivia, and Mankind lead up to a hellacious main event: the Undertaker defends the belt against Stone Cold Steve Austin. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler throw out the best commentary we've had in months- and there will be no standing 8-counts!

Do you have the jam to tune in and listen? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys review the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into the In Your House: Cold Day in Hell Pay Per View. Rockabilly continues to grace our screens, while Vader has returned from Kuwait. Ken Shamrock attended a little league game, Goldust revealed his inner Dustin Runnels in a shocking interview, and someone has stolen the Undertaker's championship belt. We also get three Crush matches!

Please pray for the healing of the beloved knee! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get to see a very sacrilegious episode of Monday Night Raw, continuing the 'soap opera' storytelling by giving Brian Pillman a live microphone. Rockabilly and the Honky Tonk Man take on Flash Funk, the Legion of Doom are in action, and a new Intercontinental Champion is crowned. There's a surprising Jobber of the Week, and they've finally figured out what to do with Sunny- put her in a sexy bed!

Who's ready for a scraping procedure? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys evaluate the fallout from the Pay Per View. Matches featuring Ahmed Johnson, the Sultan, and Rockabilly fall flat, while Hunter Hearst Helmsley and the Undertaker deliver in-ring action. Stone Cold Steve Austin, on the other hand, delivers total chaos in what is a fantastic early example of unexpected Raw storytelling when he and Bret Hart take a memorable ambulance ride. Vince is starting to see dollar signs!

Where's Pillman hiding that boner? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a look at In Your House 14: Revenge of the 'Taker, and one of the most underrated Pay Per Views of the late 90's. Phenomenal matches including the Undertaker, Mankind, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin highlight the card. Matches featuring Rocky Maivia, Savio Vega, and the Legion of Doom fill in the lesser portions of the card. What's going on in the men's room, is that Jeff Reed?

This one's a stinker! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys take a trip to South Africa, where there is no wrestling commentary- and matches featuring Ahmed Johnson, Crush, Goldust, and the Sultan become pantomimes of wrestling. The Legion of Doom did the best they could to spice things up, but the technical difficulties of getting over the upcoming "In Your House: Revenge of the 'Taker" Pay Per View were too much to overcome. But it's not a total loss- you can have some straight T & A!

It's a jobber smorgasbord! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys see the aftermath of the reuniting Hart Foundation, as well as matches featuring Freddie Joe Floyd, Barry Horowitz, and Frank Stiletto. Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestles in two matches against Billy Gunn and then Mankind, and there's some No-Holds-Barred Exhibition from Ken Shamrock. The Headbangers keep movin' on up, while the Godwinns keep movin' on down. There's a feeling in the air, and it feels like softball season!

Here's another shovelful of dirt for Bart! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys bear witness to the reunion of the British Bulldog and the Hart brothers, and the birth of the 1997 Hart Foundation! The match card gives us matches featuring Goldust, Crush, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, as well as segments highlighting the Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Rocky Maivia. Put on a clean pair of panties and come get some of this gassed up Amazonian!

Creatures of New Jersey! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys witness the fallout of Wrestlemania XIII. Matches featuring Flash Funk, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and the Headbangers are on the card, and the British Bulldog and Owen Hart finally trade blows. Bret "the Hitman'' Hart and Shawn Michaels deliver phenomenal in-ring promos, while the Undertaker does not. Mankind won the Loose Screw Award!
