Since the dog show interrupted Monday Night Raw’s regular timeslot and left WCW’s flagship program completely unopposed considering I highly doubt too many wrestling fans wanted to see which person’s dog took home the gold or whatever happens on those things, the WWF and the USA network fought back with a stacked card just three days before the next In Your House PPV with their own completely unopposed one-night-only wrestling program – THURSDAY RAW THURSDAY!
And they start us off with a bomb shell… “Tonight, the World Wrestling Federation Title will be declared vacant. Thus, this Sunday’s ‘Final Four’ winner will become the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Tonight…live…Shawn Michaels will forfeit the World Wrestling Federation Championship.”
Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Good Ol’ JR, and Jerry “The King” Lawler. Read the rest of this entry

Earlier Today on Superstars, Bret and Sid got into a FIGHT outside the arena. What are Shawn’s thoughts on the matter? Whatever. Bret has told the world that if HBK ruins this match for him, that there will be HELL TO PAY! Shawn’s shaking in his boots over that one. He calls Bret stupid and obnoxious. Let’s get to some RASSLIN! Read the rest of this entry
