ROYAL RUMBLE: We start the show with highlights of the Royal Rumble match where there was a CORPORATE CONSPIRACY to stop Steve Austin from winning the Rumble. Of course since then, Commissioner Shawn Michaels has made it so that Steve Austin *can* challenge Vince McMahon to a steel cage match at the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre PPV with the opportunity for that most coveted position of a main event WWF title match at WrestleMania XV. Vince has accepted the challenge and now Austin is salivating for the chance to get Vince inside a steel cage. BUT WILL THIS CHALLENGE TURN INTO A NIGHTMARE FOR THE RATTLESNAKE? We’ll find out in 24 hours at the PPV! In the mean time, it’s…

TIME TO GET RAW, EH! Your hosts are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. This episode of RAW airs live in Canada on TSN, says Michael. The WWF tonight is *41,432* in attendance and 38,661 paid for one of the BIGGEST live audiences to ever experience wrestling in-person, and this taping is still considered the record for the largest audience to ever see a RAW taping in-person.

WCW MONDAY NITRO IS UNOPPOSED THIS WEEK! THAT’S RIGHT – THE USA NETWORK HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY DOGS!

HOT ENOUGH? Your host is Kevin Kelly – all by himself for now. That goatee has got to go. Kevin Kelly has got to be part of the reason why Vince hates facial hair. Read the rest of this entry

EARLIER TODAY: CURT HENNIG and BARRY WINDHAM arrive to the building together and discuss going after the WCW world tag titles as if they haven’t teamed up before. Hennig’s reasoning for wanting the belts is so he can get his hands on Scott Hall and Kevin Nash for dumping him from the nWo.

HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, and Larry Zbyszko. Larry Z takes his bow for being AWA royalty. Read the rest of this entry

MANKIND BECOMES REGAINS THE WWF TITLE WITH THE AID OF A FORKLIFT: We start tonight’s program with highlights from the “Empty Arena” match between the Rock and Mankind.

SHANE McMAHON is in charge again tonight because his father Vince McMahon is away on special assignment in Victoria, Texas to provoke and confront Stone Cold Steve Austin. Last time Shane was in charge, that worked out real well. He is backstage talking to the BIG BOSS MAN, KEN SHAMROCK, and TEST. Shane knows that the Rock is on his way, but wants to know where Kane is at. Nobody wants to travel with that big red retard (Shane’s words, not mine!), so nobody knows where he’s at. Shane taps on Chyna’s dressing room door alerting her it’s time to go to the ring when Boss Man bumps into TERRI and JACQUELINE. He points his finger in Terri’s face and calls her a “bitch”. Whoa! Now hit that RAW intro.

TIME TO GET RAW! Your hosts are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Read the rest of this entry
