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!

They start the show replaying the stuff between Hollywood Hogan, Chuck Zito, Ric Flair, and Arn Anderson from last week on Nitro. They left in the “jiggly jiggly jew” comment from Hogan, which is weird. Turns out David Flair is just fine!
