Before we even get Raw, WWF President Gorilla Monsoon comes to us from his WWF office to announce the suspension of the Ultimate Warrior for failing to appear at three different house shows. The suspension will be lifted once Warrior pays an appearance bond to ensure the fans that he will appear where advertised. Nevertheless, he’s here to wrestle tonight. They don’t want you to know it’s not live like those other guys! Gorilla hopes he posts the appearance bond and returns to action. He finishes by saying no matter how popular you are, you’re not above answering to the loyal WWF fans. According to the dirt sheets, Warrior no-showed these events in order to attend his father’s funeral. But with all the Warrior University and comic book deals, there could be more to the story than they are letting onto us. Just channeling my inner Gene Okerlund there.

SPECIAL NOTE: Not sure if Nitro and Raw ever happened in the same city on the same night, but both programs are emanating from the same state tonight as Nitro comes from the mountains of Asheville. Raw drew a bigger house, but Nitro beat them in the head-to-head ratings.
We open the show with Goldust laying in his “den of iniquity” where he watches movies and wears nothing but a feather boa and his IC title over his crotch. After he saved Ahmed Johnson’s last week, he’s found out that Ahmed wants his IC championship. Come and get it, big boy.
Your hosts are Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler. Vince says it’s now official: Ahmed Johnson goes after Goldust’s IC title at the King of the Ring. Read the rest of this entry

Another Sky Sports edit. Sorry, guys. We’ll go back to the original full-length USA network feed for the rest of the year. This week, you miss out on not one, but two matches. This means I must give you the missing results in Eric Bischoff fashion. I want to let all you fans with the clicker in your hand know what is going on over at the World Whining Federation. Steve Austin beats Scotty Taylor with the cobra clutch. Didn’t we fire that guy? What a loser. The New Rockers battle the Hillbillies to a double countout. What’s new about Marty Jannetty? Seriously! Stuck in the 1980s much? Oh my. Are they trying to put us to sleep? What is the deal. Come on. Okay, now that we got that out of the way…
