WWF: Raw is War (08.10.98)

Before we see the RAW intro, we catch up with Mankind pacing around backstage carrying a chair and talking to himself about knowing the truth and how he can’t handle it. He continues to pace up some stairs until we can no longer see or hear him. He’s a MESS.

They show a video package highlighting the Undertaker and Kane’s complicated relationship and how Mankind getting waffled with chairs and TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVERS on the floor are getting in the middle of it all. In case you missed Sunday Night Heat, Undertaker posed as Kane and assaulted Mankind, thus furthering the belief there’s collusion between the two Brothers of Destruction. We might find out just what the hell is going on tonight on RAW!

IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERRE. Your hosts are Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and SHANE MCMAHON. Vince introduces his very own son Shane McMahon to the audience as the host and STAR of the new show. This is our first real introduction to the Shane McMahon character as in the past, he’s only been on-screen in random cameo roles or refereeing duties. He’s loud and he’s trying way too hard, but he’s got two lingerie models with him and since it’s 1998, that’s all you need to make people love you. Read the rest of this entry
