Nickrj’s rant for Monday Night Raw

 

Tonight the Undertaker will face the British Bulldog however last night at IYH. Owen Hart was late and he was replaced in the triple header match by the British Bulldog to face Diesel and Shawn Michaels. Owen came running down late in the match but he gets jackknifed and pinned by Diesel and he and Shawn were the tag team champions. However earlier this morning Jim Cornette and his attorney Clarence Mason took it to court with interim president Gorilla Monsoon and Gorilla allowed to give the titles back to Yokozuna and Owen Hart. However he added a couple of things that Jim and Clarence didn’t like.

Marty Jannetty VS Skip (with Sunny)

Marty is making his return to the WWF after confronting “personal demons” and an 18 month absence. Tie up and Marty gets 2 hip tosses and botches a dropkick. Little rusty there. Crowd chants “Marty” and he blows a kiss to Sunny. Skip takes control but Marty gets a backdrop. Skip to the outside to hug his fiancée but Marty nails him from behind and hugs Sunny and Sunny mistakenly slaps Skip. He’s upset now. Marty goes to the left arm and shoulder. Sunny trips Marty off the ropes and Skip hits a gut wrench power bomb to take control. Suplex by Skip as we see Dean Douglas taking notes in the aisleway. He’s apparently scouting Marty who has returned. Slam and a legdrop by Skip.

More on last night’s IYH documentented by Vince. Owen was late and replaced by the Bulldog. However Owen got pinned and he and Yokozuna lost the tag team titles. Owen was not a tag team champion at the moment when he got pinned. So Gorilla Monsoon this morning forced to give to the tag titles back to Yokozuna and Owen Hart. However he told Jim Cornette and Clarence Mason that Diesel and Shawn Michaels will get a future rematch with Yokozuna and Owen Hart and also stated that the non title match tonight between his men and the Smoking Gunns will now be for the title.

 

What I don’t understand was, what was the original booking for this match? The reason why Owen Hart was late was because he was with his wife Martha who was delivering their second child and then he comes in at the end of the triple header match. I have no idea what was the booking was prior to the match.
