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

Tonight’s program is dedicated to Ray Stevens who passed away on the previous Friday from a heart attack. He has been called by many as one of the most influential and greatest wrestlers of his era. He was 60 years old.

Before we hit the RAW intro, a blackened out ex-wife of a professional wrestler announces to the world that Shawn Michaels is a homewrecker and ruined her marriage.
