WWF Monday Night Raw
June 15th 1998
Uniondale, New York
We're outside the arena to start things off, as the WWF Champion Jeff Jarrett exits his limosuine, in a neck brace, flanked by the tag team champion New Midnight Express. Holly tells the camera as he walks past that Austin is gonna be taken out *tonight*.
-Opening Credits-
It's Monday Night Raw, and it's live! The city that never sleeps is gonna play host to one hell of an hour here tonight! The King Of The Ring qualifying round will come to a close, Booker T will face Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and that's not all. Adam Bomb will be in action, as will the Rock! Seven matches in total tonight, it's gonna be awesome.
Before we begin tonight's festivities though, let's go back in time four days, as Bob Holly had *this* to say :
[From June 11th Thunder]
Holly : 'Now this has nothing to do with Austin, *or* the tag team championship. Which, by the way, we will retain at King Of The Ring, after we dispose of which ever tired tag team we eventually face. No, it has nothing to do with that. This is about one man. Mabel. Hey, you fat ass piece o' crap. This ain't the goddamn NWA, this is the WWF, and you ain't coming in here and muscling in on *my* territory. *I'm* the one who should be in the King Of The Ring right now, I could beat Adam Bomb with my ass tied behind my back. Wait... yeah, no, I meant what I just said. So Mabel, I challenge you to get on out here, and job to me right now!'
Later on tonight, Mabel will go one on one with Bob Holly, the winner to go on to the pay-per-view to meet the Rock. We're gonna kick things off though, with our first KOTR match of the evening, Chris Benoit versus Mark Henry!
[King Of The Ring Qualifier]
[Winner faces Savio Vega]
Chris Benoit vs (Whatever happened to) Mark Henry
- Remember when I put Mark Henry over Benoit, Runnels and Owen back at In Your House 2? What was I thinking? Ring rust isn't too evident on Henry as he manages to take the former IC Champ down with a DDT almost immediately. Quick cover, nothing going. Henry then tosses Benoit to the floor, and waits for the Crippler to return. Slow start here, how about we see that Bob Holly interview again? Well, no time for that now as Benoit returns to the ring, and kicks off the sixty second block-a-thon. Literally no moves are pulled off as each man counters the other time after time. Eventually Henry traps Benoit in that most weary of submission holds, the bearhug. The 'World's strongest man' eventually lets Benoit simply drop to the mat, before picking him back up and executing a bodyslam. Chris goes up high via a gorilla press, and then gets a knee planted across his face. Clothesline from Henry, and Benoit now finds himself on the outside. When he re-enters, the light's go out.

- Then the light's come back on, with Goldust nowhere to be seen. Benoit looks around confused, and is then met by a Mark Henry clothesline, knocking him down again. Henry pulls Benoit up and puts him in a standing side headlock, but Benoit pushes him into the ropes. Single leg takedown then from Benoit, and Henry is on the canvas for the first time in the match. Henry gets taken into the corner, and Benoit, to the Whoo's of the crowd, chops the living hell out of the big man. A couple of hard boots, then a bulldog into mid-ring. Elbowdrop, and Benoit then signals for the Crippler Crossface! Darkness.

[Goldust]
- Nothing. As the arena light's come back on, Henry is now on his feet and going after Benoit again. He charges into the corner, but Benoit side steps him and Henry goes into the turnbuckle. Benoit gives him an elbowsmash, then a dropkick. Whip into the opposite corner, then an avalanche clothesline from the Crippler. Huge armdrag from Benoit, then it's into the reverse chinlock for a while. Henry ends up standing up to his feet, with Benoit still on Henry's back piggy-back style now, and sends Benoit back down hard to the mat. Cover, two count. Henry now goes up to the top rope and attempts a splash, but Benoit manages to stay in the tournament by rolling out of Henry's flightpath at the last second. Then it's Benoit's turn to go up top, quickly springing to the third turnbuckle, then nailing Henry in the face with a flying dropkick. Henry is finished already, and the flying headbutt that follows is merely for show.

Fuck this. As the light's are out again, we take a commercial break.
[Commercials]
We return to see that nothing happened, and both Benoit and Henry have departed. Benoit'll go on to face Savio Vega in the King Of The Ring first round, and Henry'll most likely disappear until I need names to fill out the Royal Rumble roster. That's just the way it is.
Here comes the champion! Still wearing the neck brace, Jarrett walks to the ring, accompanied as usual by Bart and Bob, the tag team champions. Jarrett gingerly steps through the ropes, then is handed a microphone by the ever helpful Howard Finkel.
Jarrett : 'Uniondale, New York, you're looking at a broken man. You know something Austin? That guitar, it wasn't just a six string piece of wood out of some junk shop in St Paul, that guitar was... let me tell you what that guitar was Austin. That guitar was a $15,000 dollar, Elvis original, you son of a goddamn bitch! $15,000! Nobody gets away with that kind of desecration of other people's property, and after we get Sunday's successful world title defence out of the way, I'm gonna sue your ass for every cent of that money!'
[Timeout : Jarrett has decided to overlook the fact that his first reaction on Thursday night was to raise the guitar above his head and swing at Austin. But who's gonna let a brief moment of madness get in the way of a good story?]
Jarrett : 'But I don't want... no, natch that... I'm *not* gonna wait till Sunday to kick the living crap out of you Stone Cold, because here on Raw tonight, I challenge you to step into the ring with the best. You ain't getting me one on one, that can wait till Sunday, but I offer a proposition for a tag match. Bodacious Bob has other matters to attend to, but yours truly, the World... Wrestling... Federation... Champion, I'll be teaming up with my left-hand man, Bombastic Bart. Thing is though Austin, I know that you won't be able to get a partner, so since I know you want a piece of Jeff Jarrett, then we have the makings of a handicap match.'
[Politically Correct Disclaimer - A physically challenged match]
Jarrett : 'I know you don't have many friends here in the WWF, and that you're a pathetic, lonely, son of a-'
'Kee-rash!'
Jarrett : 'Well, here he comes.'
Austin walks half way down the aisle, microphone in hand.
Austin : 'Hell yeah, you son of a bitch, I accept the goddamn challenge. But don't go getting complacent about getting into a two on one match, 'cos hell, I got more people on my side than you think.'
'Kee-rash!'
Out of the curtains to stand behind Austin, comes...
Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, [Hey, look who's back, it's] Billy Gunn, Adam Bomb, Chris Benoit, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Thrasher, Mosh, Chris Chetti and [I thought this guy was a heel, but he's here anyway, it's the man they call] Savio Vega.
Jarrett looks pissed, Austin smirks at him, then walks off to the back, followed by his entourage. Hey, we got a pay-per-view coming up, did you know?
King Of The Ring '98 [Card]
More matches to be announced in the next six days.
After the above brief promo thing, we see Chris Benoit make his way back to his dressing room after standing out by Austin's side. As he surveys the room, he notices that somone did a spot of redecorating without Benoit's permission. Racking his brain, the Crippler can't recall asking for a huge gold heart to be painted on the wall, and what's with all the flowers? Needless to say, Benoit isn't happy about the new layout, and storms off out of the room. I guess he's going to try and find Runnels.
Next to another man who's previous appearance came by the side of 'Stone Cold', it's the WWF European champion Adam Bomb. First, an announcement for King Of The Ring. Bomb is gonna defend his coveted European title against Yuji Nagata on the 21st, in what may be the least anticipated title match in the history of professional wrestling.
[European Champion] Adam Bomb vs Alan Stone
- Oh dear. Bomb charges at Stone, but Stone sidesteps, turns around and then clocks Bomb with a lariat. Three count!
Alan Stone defeated Adam Bomb in 0:00:04
[Alan Stone won the WWF European Title]
Psyche. As if... Here's what *really* happened.
- Bomb charges at Stone, and sends him crashing to the mat with a spear. Stone gets right up to his feet, but Bomb then nails him with a clothesline and Stone is back down again. Then it's two minutes of the champion wiping the floor with his opponent. Great action... this ain't. It's noted in the commentary that 'Marvelous' Marc Mero has been shooting his mouth off about his two victories over Adam Bomb back in March, and if Bomb wins on Sunday, Mero could be the next challenger on the horizon. Crotch Slam wins it.
Adam Bomb pinned Alan Stone with the Crotch Slam in 0:02:09. Rating: *
(Adam Bomb retained the WWF European Title.)
It's been a while since the champion of my own naive and soon to fall continent got a win on WWF TV, what with non-title defeats coming against Mabel and Nagata in recent weeks. This certainly gives him a boost going into Sunday's big match.
Speaking of Mabel, let's go back in time one week, as Mabel makes his debut in the World Wrestling Federation.
[The entrance and the rap is shown, we return live before the Bomb/Mabel match is aired]
What was the point in that? Anyway, Triple-H is standing by backstage.
[Disclaimer : The views expressed in the following brief interview, are not those of yours truly, or the views of any decent human being. They are the views of a true degenerate, and should be taken as such.]
Triple-H : 'First of all, I want to say to anyone listening, and anyone ordering this Sunday's pay-per-view, get ready to see Triple-H conqour seven other men to become the WWF King Of The Ring, 'cos believe me when I say this, it *is* gonna happen. But moving on to tonight, and I apparently have a match with that jackass Booker T. You know, you had Jeff Jarrett out in the ring earlier, talking about desecration of property, and that's exactly what *you* did Booker, when you trashed my dressing room. How you can say you know nothing about it, when the goddamn words 'Harlem Heat' are written on the [beep]ing walls. And then you say some crap about how it's the 'same old shit, accusing the black man', well come on now Booker, despite all the conclusive evidence that says it was you who commited the desecration last week, statistics do prove that the majority of petty vandalism in this country, *is* carried out by blacks. And if you ask me, the World Wrestling Federtaion would be alright, if the World Wrestling Federation was all-white. But that's just my opinion, and hell, I might as well make an example of you tonight, you piece o' shit.'
We're about to go to the commercials, when we cut to a camera inside of Jeff Jarrett's dressing room. Jarrett, Gunn and Holly are apparently discussing who Austin's partner might be. I'm sure there's some interesting dialogue going on here, but Jim Ross keeps talking over it, and now we gotta go to a break!
[Commercials]
We're back, and the camera is following former Intercontinental Champion, the 'Crippler', Chris Benoit. He's walking the backstage area, and reaches Goldust's dressing room. He turns the handle, the door's open, and Dustin is sitting down in front of a mirror, combing his hair.
Benoit : 'What is it you want Dustin?!'
Goldust starts to stand up as the door closes behind Benoit, and unfortunatley in front of our camera.
Next contest : Booker T versus Hunter Hearst Helmsley. We hear that Booker flipped out during the commercial break, after hearing the comments made by Triple-H, or is that Triple-K? Whatever it is, Helmsley is on his way to the ring as we return to the arena.
Can Hunter make it all the way down the aisle unscathed? My fucking ass, Booker runs out from the curtains and nails him from behind with a clothesline. Then he sends HHH into the guardrail, as the referee sees fit to ring the bell to start the match, despite neither man entering the ring. So, like a badly booked WCW superstar, we move from white on black to red on black.
Booker T vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley
- Booker is literally beating the living shit out of Hunter here, as he rams his face into the aisle guardrail several times. Then he takes Helmsley's face and introduces it to the concrete floor over and over again. Finally he pulls Hunter in the direction of the ring, wait, no, he's pulling him backstage. Yay! Backstage Brawl! After tossing him through the curtains, Booker proceeds to hammer Hunter with right hands, then rams him into a nearby wall. Hey, look Mike Chiota! Get out of the way Mike. Helmsley gets thrown into a drinks covered table, then Booker aims a dropkick at him as he gets to his feet. Booker obviously hurts himself executing that particular move, as he hits the concrete as well. Both men then get up to their feet first though, Hunter shaking his hair to get some of the drink liquid out of it, then Helmsley gives Booker a knee to the chest. Uppercut, and Booker falls to the floor once again. He then pulls him over to where the broken drinks table lies in half, and sets him up for the Pedigree! Booker disagrees with Helmsley's idea though, and gives the degenerate a backdrop instead. Now it seems that Booker *does* want to take it to the ring, and he drags Hunter by the hair, back out through the curtains and back down the aisle.
- Helmsley gets tossed into the ring, and Booker decides to grab himself a ringside seat before entering himself. The guy who was previously sitting in said chair isn't too happy, but there's no time to worry about him, as in the ring Booker blasts Hunter with the steel. Helmsley falls to the mat, and we have blood folks. The censors are fine with it though, after all, blood is perfectly acceptable in a *family orientated product*, isn't that right Mr Bischoff? Hypocritical bastard. Anyway, Helmsley is shoved down into the corner of the ring, where Booker lays the chair against his neck and begins choking him with it! The referee tells him to quit it, but Booker turns and whacks Hebner with the chair. Well, it's not like this was really a match anyway up to this point. Booker then throws the chair into the centre of the ring, and begins choking Hunter barehand. Then he armdrags him onto the chair then climbs to the top turnbuckle. Flying headbutt coming in!
- And no. Helmsley, despite being barely conscious, realises that if he manages to roll out of the way, Booker will meet head on with the chair, and this is what takes place. Booker is down on his back, and so is Helmsley feet away, so it seems we have a bit of a stalemate here. Hunter somehow manages to be the one who gets to his feet first, and he picks the chair up and whacks Booker in the spine with it. Booker grimaces and holds his back in pain, so Helmsley decides to do it again, hitting Booker's unfortunately placed hand this time as well. Hunter then, after pausing for a few seconds to get his thoughts together, decides that this chair isn't quite the weapon he feels like using right now, and leaves the ring to find something else. Ah, the ring bell. Instead of entering the ring through the ropes with it, he climbs up to the top turnbuckle, and waits for Booker to slowly stand up to his feet. Hunter let's fly, bell in hand, but this attempted move proves to be the second top rope manouever to backfire in a row, as Booker raises his right leg superkick style and the bell busts Hunter's face open even more. What follows is another brief period of nothing, as Booker T takes his time in shaking off the effects of the earlier chair headshot. Eventually though, he's ready to continue the fight, and drops a legdrop on Helmsley. He grabs the bell and goes to the second rope, attempting to nail Hunter with the bell again. Hopefully these two will have learnt after this next error, that moves from off of the turnbuckles aren't gonna work, Helmsley raises his boot and this time the bell meet's Booker's face.
- After pausing for a moment, Hunter gets slowly up to his feet. He gingerly bends down to grab the chair, then places it dead centre on the canvas. Pedigree coming up, but he takes his sweet time in executing it. So long in fact, that he doesn't get to execute it at all, as who should run down the aisle and enter the ring, but Stevie Ray! Ray gives Hunter one hell of a clothesline, breaking the setup for the Pedigree and knocking Helmsley to the mat. Ray then picks Hunter up, and then gives *him* a Pedigree on the chair. Hunter is completely unconscious now, and Stevie Ray turns to his brother. And helps him up. These two men may have fought a loser leaves town match back in February, but they're back together now as Stevie helps his brother back to the dressing rooms. The ring announcer announces the match as a DQ win for Booker, for whatever reason, but Helmsley does look the worse for wear of the two.
Booker T defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley by disqualification in 0:08:37. Rating: **
What's going on USA Network? We're treated to a black screen for around thirty seconds, before we return to see the WWF Intercontinental Champion, Rocky Maivia in the ring.
Rock : 'Now the Rock is gonna make this short, and make it ever so god-damn sweet. The simple fact of the matter is, whoever wins between the fatass Mabel and the jabronie ass Bob Holly, is gonna be spending June 21st in the Smackdown Hotel!'
[The above paragraph marks the debut of the phrase 'Smackdown Hotel' in this fed]
[Intercontinental Champion] Rocky Maivia vs Jerry Flynn
- Not too much going on in this one. The WCW Randon Push Generator may have picked out Jerry Flynn this month, but here in the WWF he doesn't look too good tonight. That's not to say he doesn't have some offence in this match, he locks Maivia in a full nelson almost immediately after the bell. Rock stems the tide of this early offence though, and this match report will go under the name of The Rock Show. Apart from a few karate style kicks, this is nothing more than a Maivia squash. After spending around half of the match putting Flynn in a headlock, the champion ends the boredom with the Rock Bottom.
Rocky Maivia pinned Jerry Flynn with the Rock Bottom in 0:04:10. Rating: ** 1/4

Hey, we got time to kill, so as a lead in to our next match here on Raw, let's go back once again to WWF Thunder, as Chris Chetti had this to say :
Chetti : 'Devon Storm? You know, I've only been champion a short time, hell, I've only been a professional wrestler a short time. But pretty much every man I been in the ring with, I've respected. I've beaten a lot of great wrestlers, I've also lost to a lot of great wrestlers. And I've monitored you closely and intently. And I have to say, you don't impress me. I've watched you in the WWF all year, I've only seen you win *one* match. And that was against a fifty year old man who had no business being in the ring in the first place. Cut to the present, you couldn't beat Matt Hardy, you couldn't beat Silver King, you were thrown out of the In Your House battle royal in thirty seconds! You're a joke pal, and yet you're claiming you're the cruiserweight champion? You claim you're better than me? Sure, you put me out of action, and I've been sitting on the sidelines for near a month, but that's the only *victory* you'll ever be able to hold against *me*. But you want to prove that belt you hold can be yours? You want to prove you can *beat* me? Then show up on June 21st at the King Of The Ring. I'll be there, fit and ready, and if you want to show up, I'll put the cruiserweight title on the line, and you'll get your chance. June 21st Devon, if you're man enough.'
We'll be back, after these outstanding commercials.

To the ring!
Devon Storm [w/The WWF Cruiserweight Title Belt] vs Hector Garza
- Storm attacks Garza before the bell with a high knee, then as is custom in most Devon Storm matches, he immediately leaves the ring and grabs a chair. He then sets up to Jacknife-powerbomb Garza onto it, but Hector luckily blocks it and no damage is done. Garza then executes a savate kick on Garza, then a faceslam for the match's first two count. Whip into the ropes, reversal, Storm comes back to try and hit a frankensteiner, but Garza's there to turn it into a powerbomb. Storm gets shoved into the corner, where Garza starts nailing him with chops and his right foot. Storm starts punching back, and eventually nails Hector with a jumping side kick. Storm then blows a moonsault, and gets caught by a dropped elbow. Clothesline now from Garza, and he quickly drops down to cover. Another whip to the ropes, but Storm grabs onto the top rope, and then pulls himself out of the ring. Why? To get that chair back, the chair that was rudely tossed out of the ring by the referee. Spring off the chair frankensteiner folks, give this guy a big hand. Cover for two, then it's into the ropes for more whip related action. Shoulderblock puts Garza down again, then Storm springs up to the top rope and let's his opponent have it with a dropkick.
- Seeing that that dropkick was successful, Storm goes back up top and waits for Garza to get up to his feet. Hector sees it coming this time though, and easily gets out of the way. As Storm hits the canvas back first, Garza goes and hits a backflip moonsault for the three count! Wow, great paragraph management Lee, four lines.
Hector Garza pinned Devon Storm with the Backflip Moonsault in 0:03:52. Rating: ** 1/2
Hey look, it's Chris Chetti. And he's running down the aisle, apparently looking to retrieve his title belt. Oh look out there Chetti, someone's coming at you from behind.... whack! It's Brian Christopher! Haven't seen him in a while. Christopher starts laying some hurt on Chetti as Storm gets up to his feet in the ring and takes a microphone. Where the hell did Garza go?
Storm : 'Hey Chetti, yeah I accept your challenge, and- nowIgottago'
Storm quickly leaves the ring as Chetti, who has now gotten the better of Christopher in the aisle, enters it. Chetti looks a little pissed. New match for King Of The Ring folks, pencil in Chris Chetti versus Devon Storm for the cruiserweight title. Though possibly not for the belt...
Austin's talked about having a mystery partner before, way back in February. Cue topical WWF Flashback :
[WWF Flashback : Sponsored by Artline ]
[From WWF In Your House 1 'Revenge Of The Underdog : Feb 15th 98]
Stone Cold Steve Austin heads to the ring and then takes the microphone off of Howard Finkel.
Austin - Alright jackasses, my partner for tonight, Mr Terry Funk!
Terry Funk makes it about five feet out of the entrance way befoer he is attacked from behind by... by... my god it's SID! Sid powerbombs Funk on the concrete floor, then charges to the ring. He lays into a stunned Austin, then powerbombs him. Sid then goes to the announcing table and takes a mic.
Sid - I'm back, and that is why I am the MASTER of the world!
Ah memories...
Let's go back to the dressing room of the champions. Jarrett and The Express are*still* discussing tonight's tag match, or maybe this bit is pre-taped, who knows?
Jarrett : 'Now, come on, we need scope here. Who's it gonna be?'
Gunn : 'You don't think he'd drag Shawn Michaels back out do ya?'
Jarrett : 'Ha! I tell you what Bart, if Steve Austin brings out that jobber, then I will personally eat my world title belt live on the air. It ain't gonna be Michaels. Bart?'
Holly : 'Hell, I don't know. I gotta go to the ring, that fatass Mabel awaits.'
Holly stands up and starts to leave, then turns back at his stable mates.
Holly : 'Aren't you guys coming? Bart?'
Gunn : 'We're busy. You take care of him.'
Jarrett : 'Go get him Bob. So, back to the tag match.'
Jarrett and Gunn contine their conversation, as Holly walks out less than pleased.

We missed Mabel's entrance. WooHoo!
[King Of The Ring Qualifier : Version 2.0]
[Winner faces The Rock]
[WWF Tag Team Champion] Bob Holly vs Mabel [w/Oscar]
- Holly goes to attack Mabel right away, but Holly realises that that's like running into a brick wall, and Mabel shoulderblocks him to the mat without moving. Bob gets picked up, then Bob gets put down with a bodyslam. Holly tries to come back moments later with a right hand, but goddamn it, Mabel ain't even *thinking* about selling that one. A few punches in the corner, then Holly's back on the canvas after an armdrag. Mabel then puts Holly in one of those crappy Yokozuna-like nerve holds for a few seconds, but Bob manages to get into the match a few moments later, and gets the big man in a grapevine. Mabel reaches the ropes after a good twenty seconds, and then promptly resumes control of this match. Holly gets squashed in the corner with an avalanche, and is generally having a pretty rough time in this match. Usually he could rely on his his teammates to help him out, but I guess they're busy. After three minutes of basically being beaten around every inch of the ring, Holly finally gets lucky when Mabel, in an uncharacteristic move, climbs up to the top turnbuckle. Suffice to say, the ring moved about six inches when Mabel thudded to the canvas, Holly luckily four feet away from Mabel's landing. Top rope kneedrop gets Holly his first two count of this contest. To say that Mabel kicked out would be an understatement. He pushes Holly off of him, and the tag champ ends up about three feet in the air before hitting the mat to the left of the big man. Holly keeps momentary advantage of this match though, nailing a dropkick, but attempting a flying axe-handle proves to be a bad idea. Mabel catches him you see, then executes a LOUD belly to belly suplex that turns Holly's light's right out. Mabel is now still in the King Of The Ring, and this whole exchange now seems a bit pointless.
Mabel pinned Bob Holly with the Belly-to-Belly Suplex in 0:06:25. Rating: -1/2*
Mabel and Oscar celebrate in the ring, but we don't really want to see that to be honest, so the camera follows Bob Holly back down the aisle. He walks through the curtains, and hey look, it's Jarrett and Gunn. Obviously on their way for their tag match a little early, they signal Holly to come over towards them. Holly walks right past them and walks back in the direction of their dressing room.
Well, Mabel's still in the ring, and Jarrett and Gunn are about to enter the ring area. While this bit of mild confusion is sorted out, how about one last commercial break?
[Commercials]
'Kee-rash'
Bart Gunn and Jeff Jarrett are in the ring, confering, as Austin walks down to the ring. Alone. Austin meets up with Finkel, and then takes his microphone.
Austin : 'Uniondale New York, my partner for tonight, the Crippler, Chris Benoit!'
Benoit's theme starts up over the speaker system, but Benoit doesn't appear.
Austin : 'What the hell. Uniondale New York, my partner for tonight, the Crippler, Chris Benoit!'
Again, nothing. As Jeff Jarrett starts to laugh from the other side of the ring, Austin leaves the squared circle and stalks off back down the aisle.
Through the curtains, and let's ask the nearest person if they know where Benoit is. There's Earl Hebner, let's ask him.
Hebner : 'Sorry Steve, from what I know, Benoit hasn't been seen since he entered Goldust's dressing room.'
Austin : 'Well, what the hell-'
Hold that thought Austin. You can pick it up again once you regain consciousness. The Roadog then gives Stone Cold another chair shot to the fallen world title contender, then gives him a nice wad of spit to boot. Welcome back Mr Jammes.
