The heels have left but UT and Diesel are down in the ring and Shawn on the outside. I believe this is punishment from Vince on you three! We go back to last Monday where Bret Hart defeats Jean Pierre Laffite however he gets into a brawl with the King and Isaac Yankem DDT’s Bret right on the floor. Back in the ring, UT, Diesel and Shawn are back on their feet now. Crowd gives them a nice hand. Vince hypes next week where Bret Hart and Isaac Yankem will face off in a steel cage match.

 

We go back to Summerslam now and we’re shown the match between Isaac Yankem and Bret Hart. Vince announces a new stipuation. If Jerry Lawler interferes in the cage match next week, he’ll go into a shark cage and he’ll be hoisted high above the ring. The last 8 minutes are shown and of course the finish is where Lawler and Yankem get Bret’s head caught between the ropes and they try to pull on his legs and choke him to death.

 

Fatu VS Skip (With Sunny)

Oh boy a battle of jobbers after that six man tag. Tonight Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Tyco. We go back to last Friday at Madison Square Garden at a charity benefit for the handicapped. Jerry Lawler says that there’s something with Mabel going in the locker room.

Match starts with Skip with a weak leapfrog. Mabel is trying to get in UT’s dressing room. Skip with some right hands and he rams the steel head of Fatu which doesn’t work of course. Sunny is on the apron and Fatu falls for it but he nails Skip from behind outside. Fatu rams his shoulder into the post though. Belly to back suplex by Skip. Slam by Skip and he goes to the 2nd rope and hits a kneedrop. Fatu comes back but Skip hits a reverse enzuguri for 2. Skip goes for the forehead and hurts himself. Reverse chinlock by Skip. Fatu is back up but Skip pulls the hair. Skip goes to the top and hurts himself with a flying headbutt. Fatu with a BAAAACK body drop and a clothesline in the corner. Backbreaker. He goes to the top and Sunny distracts him and Skip rams Fatu’s head into the post which does hurt. Skip sets up Fatu for a superplex but he strains his back. He tries again but Fatu knocks him off the top rope and hits a top rope splash for the pin at 5:53.

We go back to the 6 man tag earlier tonight. They don’t show Bulldog pinning Diesel but they show the other stuff they did to him. UT took a series of leg drops and headbutts from Mabel and Shawn Michaels got slammed right on the steps knee first after taking an incredible beating during the match.

 

Dok Hendrix now updates us on the condition of the faces. Shawn tried to speak to Dok but fainted. Diesel is angry and UT is still out of it. He tries to go in for an interview but Vince doesn’t let him.

 

Jim Ross goes in the locker room with Bulldog and Jim Cornette. Corny almost shoots him out and he says feel the glory and glee of the total disregard for rules and regulations. They now show the Bulldog pinning Diesel in the middle of the ring. He says that the Bulldog will beat Diesel again at IYH for the WWF title and he tells the Bulldog to take it back to England because these (American) people don’t deserve to see it. The Bulldog says that he beat Bret Hart in England for the IC title in Webley Stadium in front of 83,000 people. He’s going to come to IYH at the 50 below hell hole in Winnepeg and take the WWF title. King Mabel comes in and he says that the Bulldog accomplished the impossible just like he did when he pinned the Undertaker and he’s going to bury UT underneath a mountain of snow in two weeks. He already did that tonight.

 

Vince and Jerry talk about the steel cage match next week. Jerry says that he’s a king not an animal and they won’t cage him. But if he interferes he will. Lawler says he’s the key to victory. The show ends with a promo of the cage match next week.
