WWF 1995: The New Generation

Diesel Power​
On November 26, 1994, Big Daddy Cool Diesel won the WWF Title by defeating Bob Backlund. Since then Diesel has become a fighting champion defeating many stars. Now as we head into the year 1995 at the Royal Rumble, The leader of the new WWF Generation Diesel will be defending his title against former WWF Champion Bret The Hitman Hart. Last week on the December 26, 1994 episode of Raw, Diesel humiliated Jerry the King Lawler on the King's Court and then Diesel turned his attention to Shawn Michaels who was doing commentary. Diesel said he's doing a lot better without HBK and Big Daddy Cool is going to be champion for a long time. HBK vows that he will win the Royal Rumble and if Diesel remains champion then HBK will take the title off him. This week on the first edition of Monday Night Raw for 1995, The Excellence of Excecution, Bret the Hitman Hart will be the guest on the King's Court.


The Road to the Royal Rumble continues
The Road to the Royal Rumble is certainly heating up and the crown jewel of the Million Dollar Corporation Lex Luger is one of the odds on favourite to win the Royal Rumble. Last year's co-winner Lex Luger has been on a roll ever since he joined The Million Dollar Corporation at SummerSlam by defeating Tatanka. Then at Survivor Series when The Million Dollar Team faced Tatanka's team, Luger was the sole survivor. Now Luger heads into 1995 and he has set his sights on winning the Royal Rumble again. At the Rumble, former Rumble winner the mighty Yokozuna will also be returning back to action in the Rumble match. Yokozuna will make his return next week to Monday Night Raw on the King's Court. We will also see the return of the voodoo master Papa Shango. Following Survivor Series, Owen Hart continued his feud with The British Bulldog and they will square off at The Royal Rumble.

The new tag team champions The Heavenly Bodies have been on a roll ever since they won the tag team tournament 2 weeks ago when they defeated The Smoking Gunns. The Bodies nailed Bart with Jim Cornette's tennis racket across the neck putting Bart out of action for some time. Bart will be back at The Royal Rumble as the Smoking Gunns will receive their rematch at The Royal Rumble.

Clowning Around​
In 1994 Doink the Clown who made kids laugh ended up making kids cry again. It all began when Doink lost a match against Yokozuna in June. Doink was out of action for a month and when he returned, Jerry Lawler started stirring up trouble between Doink and Dink on The King's Court. Lawler thinks Dink has held Doink back, he used to be funny when he made kids cry but when he made kids laugh Doink became a failure. A few weeks later Doink started behaving strangely in matches and then Doink and Dink were again guests on The King's Court. Doink ended up turning on poor Dink and that was the end of Dink. Doink ended up going back to his sadistic ways playing sick pranks on fans and superstars. Following SummerSlam, Doink would progressively become more and more evil. Doink came down to the ring during an Undertaker match and started staring down Paul Bearer. Doink sprays something in Paul Bearer's eyes and starts laughing up the ramp wildly. Over the next few weeks Doink freaks Paul Bearer out at ringside during Undertaker's matches causing The Undertaker to lose some matches via count out. Doink managed to steal the urn off Paul Bearer and put it in a box. Doink even got involved in Undertaker's match at Survivor Series against Yokozuna by appearing in the casket, he tried to use the urn by nailing The Undertaker with it but it backfired as Doink was chased away by Chuck Norris. Paul Bearer now has the urn again. The next night Doink then performs a trick and makes Paul Bearer disappear from a box as Doink laughs wildly.

Over the next few weeks Doink continued to play mind games against The Undertaker. There would be promos of Doink in a circus and Undertaker in the cemetery sending a warning message to Doink. Doink is a guest again on Jerry Lawler's King's Court. Doink gives the reason why he's been messing around with The Undertaker. Doink says Undertaker is a phony, everyone thinks Undertaker can not be hurt, he thinks he's not human and Doink said he enjoyed playing pranks on The Undertaker. He enjoys playing mindgames with The Undertaker. Doink said Undertaker is not the most dangerous man in the WWF because the most dangerous man in the WWF is Doink. Not only is he unpredictable, he can be funny and he can be sadistic. Later that night in an Undertaker match, Doink came down to ringside and played another prank by throwing water in Undertaker's hat. Doink starts laughing wildly. Undertaker got counted out as he went after Doink who managed to escape.

The following week Doink again interferes during an Undertaker match but Undertaker manages to get his hands on Doink. Undertaker tries to pull Doink's mask off until a second Doink appears and saves Doink. The two Doinks assaulted The Undertaker. Jerry Lawler who is on commentary calls it an illusion. The following week President Jack Tunney told Doink that last year he made a ruling that there will only be one Doink. He warned Doink if he sees another Doink in the WWF then Doink will be suspended. He also announced that Doink will face The Undertaker at The Royal Rumble. Later on during a Doink match, Paul Bearer made his return as he was reunited with The Undertaker. Doink was so stunned and the lights went out and The Undertaker was right behind him. Undertaker dropped Doink with a tombstone and said at The Royal Rumble, Doink will Rest In Peace. Last week on Raw, Doink vows that he will get revenge on The Undertaker. He will show The Undertaker the real dark side. Both men excel in playing mind games and what a showdown this will be at The Rumble.

TV Shows​
WWF Mania has been cancelled and The Action Zone is a highlights show recapping Raw, Superstars and Challenge. Only one tv show will be written out which will be Raw. The other shows (Superstars and Wrestling Challenge) will be posted as quick results and if needed I will mention the important notes from the shows. PPVs will be in full detail.

I'm back with a new btb. 1995 was one of the worst years in WWF history. Terrible ppvs, horrible gimmicks and the WWF was running on Diesel power. Yep that one year long reign. Financially it was just a bad year for the WWF. I've decided to book the year 1995 by improving it. Expect to see monthly In Your House ppvs being added to the ppv schedule following WrestleMania. In my backstory I've made a few changes as Luger and Doink go heel, they were way better as heels. I really wanted to see an Undertaker/Doink feud, so I'm booking it in my btb. Tatanka remains face, his heel run was terrible. Also Kwang would turn face, Nikolai Volkoff would be kicked out of the Corporation and he turns face. I liked The Kama supreme fighting machine gimmick but I've decided to bring Papa Shango back instead, you will soon find out why in this thread. Newcomer Man Mountain Rock will be making his ppv debut at the Rumble. The Women's division has been scrapped as Alundra Blayze & Bull Nakano have been released. Sid will make his WWF return in February. I disliked the 1995 Royal Rumble match, very short Rumble, way too many jobbers. Expect to see a better version of the Rumble match in this thread. The first show will be up soon, have fun reading.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

i knew the Million Dollar Corporation was going to steal The Undertaker's urn like they did in real life, this Undertaker/Bigelow feud is so awesome, i just wish they faced off in real-life i didn't actually watch wrestling since 1999 or 2000, but i say Taker and Bigelow they've been going at it so much, i think there should be a gimmick match at Wrestlemania, i don't think we don't need to see a Casket Match at Wrestlemania cause that would not work, it needs to be some sort of violent brutal match between these two because both of the guys are brawlers and there needs to be some stipulation in this match, Bret and Razor at Wrestlemania 11 should be an awesome matchup, they definitely buried Razor in 1995, but in this BTB it should change, i say we give Razor the WWF Championship Belt and have it for a little while as long as he likes, i see Razor defending the championship against a lot of stars, no offense to Bret but i don't see Bret staying with the WWF Championship at Summerslam, i love the way you've been building Hunter Hearst Helmsley, you should have him debut at Wrestlemania and give him like an underhanded competitor to work with like Tatanka, Mable, The Kid, Bob Holly or other guys like that, He should have the success like he did back in real-life, all in all i'm very looking forward to Wrestlemania 11,

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

WWF Monday Night Raw | March 13 | 1995
The Raw video package plays and Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler welcome us to the show. Jerry Lawler will now be taking over permanent announcing duties on Raw while Jim Cornette focuses on his team's quest for the tag team gold. Tonight Bret Hart and Razor Ramon will be the special guests on The King's Court. Plus The Undertaker runs The Million Dollar Gaunlet. but first off we're kicking Raw off with two tremendous wrestlers going against each other as The 123 Kid takes on Shawn Michaels. This is what the new generation is all about and speaking of the new generation, we're going to see the debut tonight of a man who claims to be the future of the WWF, Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Footage was shown from a live event last night when Helmsley was in attendance watching the action as Tatanka was in a match. Hunter Hearst Helmsley was not impressed at all with Tatanka and following the match Tatanka was exchanging some words with Helmsley. Jerry Lawler thinks that was completely disrespectful from Tatanka. Hunter was there to see the action, to scout his future opponents and Tatanka did not make him feel welcome at all. Well tonight Hunter will be making his debut and Lawler thinks Helmsley's much more talented than Tatanka. Vince says we'll see about that.



Match 1 | Shawn Michaels vs The 123 Kid
The 123 Kid's music hits as he made his way down to the ring to a great ovation. Shawn Michaels then made his way down with Sid. This should be an unbelievable match up. The match begins with Shawn telling The Kid he's going to make an example out of him. Lock up and Michaels with a side headlock, Michaels sends The Kid to the ropes and takes him down with a shoulder block. They lock up again and Michaels sends Kid to the ropes, leapfrog by The Kid, leapfrog by Michaels and Kid takes Michaels down with a monkey flip. 123 Kid follows up with an arm drag and then a dropkick and gets a 2 count. Michaels then reverses an irish whip and goes for a back body drop but Kid lands on his feet. Kid with some martial arts kicks, Michaels ducks a roundhouse kick but Kid uses his other foot to knock Michaels down with a roundhouse kick. Kid with a dropkick sends Michaels to the floor but no Michaels hangs on and Kid knocks Michaels down with a roundhouse kick. 123 Kid comes off the ropes and hits a plancha on Michaels. The crowd really into this match already. The Kid is all over Michaels here at the start. Sid helps Michaels back up as Michaels got back in and The Kid whips Michaels into the turnbuckle and comes charging in for a dropkick but Michaels moves as Kid gets crotched on the ropes. Michaels now puts the boots to The Kid. Michaels rams The Kid's head into the turnbuckle and then works over him in the corner. Michaels sends The Kid to the corner, Kid puts the breaks on with a leapfrog and Kid with a springboard crossbody on Michaels and got a 2 count. The 123 Kid takes Michaels down with a headlock, Michaels begins to get back to his feet and breaks out of the hold with a back suplex.

Michaels then punishes the Kid and hits a backbreaker for a 2 count. Michaels ties The Kid up in the ropes and delivers a few shots to the chest and the referee unties The Kid. Michaels with a piledriver and got a near fall. Shawn then sends The Kid to the floor and then distracts the ref. Sid gets some cheapshots on The Kid and picks The Kid up and rams him into the apron. The referee notices Sid sending The Kid back in and Sid tells the ref he was only helping him back in but the ref is having none of it and sends Sid to the back and Sid is irate. Sid's gotta leave and Sid leaves. Michaels stomps away at The Kid. Michaels tries a german suplex, Kid counters and hits a german suplex and got a 2 count. The 123 Kid goes up top and hits a moonsault and gets a near fall. So close. The Kid now sends Michaels to the ropes looking for a dropkick but Michaels holds on to the ropes and goes back in control. Michaels takes The Kid up top looking for a top rope superplex but Kid blocks and sends Michaels face first down to the mat. The Kid hits a missile dropkick off the top rope, he goes for the cover and gets a near fall. What a match up this has been. Michaels then reversed an irish whip and sends The Kid to the turnbuckle with authority. Michaels connects with a swinging neckbreaker and got a 2 count. Michaels with a backbreaker and keeps The Kid on his knee for a submission hold on the back.

The fans start a 123 chant to get behind The Kid. The Kid with a handful of Michaels hair and punches his way out of it. Michaels got back up first and sends The Kid to the ropes and Kid nails Michaels with a spinning heel kick and both men are down. The Kid recovers first and sends Michaels to the ropes and tries a hiptoss but Michaels counters into a backslide and gets a 2 count. Michaels then levels The Kid with a clothesline. Michaels taking his time, look at the arragonce. Michaels mocks Diesel's taunt and it looks like he's going to jackknife The Kid. Wait a minute Diesel makes his way down and stands near ringside. Michaels turns his attention on Diesel. Michaels better focus on The Kid and not Diesel. Michaels tries bringing The Kid back to his feet but The Kid gets an inside cradle, 1, 2, 3. He got him. What an upset from The Kid and the crowd is going nuts. Michaels can't believe it as The 123 Kid goes outside and celebrates his win with the fans and then high fives Diesel. Michaels is throwing a tantrum in the ring and Diesel taunts Michaels. Vince then mentions that we have a new announcer in the WWF and her name is Sunny as she will be bringing us the WrestleMania report.
Winner: The 123 Kid

WrestleMania Report with Sunny. Sunny's sitting in the studio as she introduces herself and she's looking forward to her first WrestleMania. She's going to be conducting interviews backstage and she can't wait for WrestleMania. Sunny then runs down the card for WrestleMania. We hear pre-recorded comments from Razor Ramon along with Pamela Anderson. Razor Ramon talks about his success at WrestleMania. He made an impact at his first WrestleMania at Caesar's Palace. Then last year, he made history when he defeated the boy toy, Shawn Michaels in a ladder match. At the Rumble, he beat Shawn to win the Rumble match. This meant that Pamela Anderson will be escorting him down the aisle at WrestleMania. At Saturday Night's Main Event, The Bad Guy made sure he's going to headline WrestleMania. Pamela says she's looking forward to accompanying Razor down to ringside at WrestleMania, he is oozing machismo. Razor has a smile on his face and puts his arms around Pamela and says this is the life. The bad guys' got the looks, the lady and soon.... (Pamela puts her arms around Razor's waist) he's going to have the big gold around his waist. Sunny then takes us back to ringside and it's now time to see another new face in the WWF and that's Hunter Hearst Helmsley.



Match 2 | Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Barry Horowitz
Jerry Lawler already seems to like Sunny and hopes to see more of her. Here comes Hunter Hearst Helmsley who's a newcomer here in the WWF. He hails from Greenwich, Connecticut. For the past two weeks we've been seeing Helmsley running down several superstars and we saw him last night at a live event when he was in attendance watching the action here in the WWF. Helmsley vows to become a star here in the WWF. Right now is the first time we'll get to see Helmsley in the ring. Lawler talks about how Helmsley's had nothing but the best all his life. He been trained by the best and he's a very good wrestler and all his life he's been nothing but the best. Look at the arragonce of Helmlsey who's got his nose that far up in the air, look at the aristocratic attitude here from Helmsley. He's been claiming that he's going to bring class and civility here to the WWF. Lets see what Hunter has to bring to the table. He's up against the veteran Barry Horowitz but Lawler makes fun of Horowitz who's never won a match here in the WWF. Vince says could Horowitz win his first match tonight against Helmsley in Helmsley's first match. What an upset that would be. Anything can happen here in the WWF. Helmsley locks up and gets a wrist lock on Horowitz. Horowitz counters and Helmsley rolls away from the pressure and then puts a headlock on Horowitz. Hunter sends Barry opponent to the ropes and hits a dropkick. Helmsley delivers a european uppercut and then takes Barry to the corner and slaps him. Helmsley with a series of european uppercuts in the corner.

Helmsley in control here sends Horowitz to the corner and delivers a clothesline. Helmsley with a snapmare and then stomps away on Horowitz, what a vicious individual Helmsley is. Horowitz then ducks a clothesline off the ropes and hits a dropkick and follows up with a back bodydrop. Welcome to the WWF Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Helmsley reverses an irish whip and catches Horowitz with a spinning heel kick. Helmsley takes a bow and gets booed. Helmsley then hits a three quarter facelook by dropping Horowitz to the mat. Now that was impressive. He went for the pin and lets go at the 2 count. Look at the arragonce of this man but could this be a major rookie mistake by Helmsley. Lawler says he's not done yet. What's this now, Helmsley then places Horowitz's head between his legs and applies a double underhook facebuster by realising Barry's arm and drives him down to the mat. What a devastating move. Lawler says Helmsley calls this the pedigree. Helmsley went for the pin and got the 3 count. A very easy victory here for Helmsley, an impressive athlete and we'll be seeing a lot more of Helmsley in upcoming weeks. Speaking of newcomers, Savio Vega who made his debut on Superstars this past Saturday, we'll see Savio making his Raw debut next week.
Winner: Hunter Hearst Helmsley
As Helmsley celebrates outside the ring, Jerry Lawler interviews him. Lawler welcomes him to the WWF, he is so impressed and he believes Helmsley will certainly become a big star here in the WWF. The future is bright for Hunter Hearst Helmsley, infact Helmsley is a lot like him. Helmsey thanks Lawler and hopes that he gets better competition than this. Helmsley brags about how great of a star he will become, he just made an impact and there is so much more to come from him. He vows to be undefeated for a very long time. That was just the start, what Hunter Hearst Helmsley wants, he gets. Tatanka comes out and he doesn't appreciate the comments Helmsley made about him and several other superstars over the past two weeks. Even last night Helmsley was very disrespecful during Tatanka's match. Lawler cuts Tatanka off and tells him come on this is Hunter's first match, show some respect. Tatanka can learn a lot from Helmsley because Helmsley's come here to teach people about class and civility. Helmsley thinks Tatanka does not have these qualities and Tatanka is simply beneath him. Helmsley holds his nose up high and starts walking off. Look at the arragonce of this man. Tatanka tells Lawler soon he's going to show this rich snob what the WWF is all about. Helmsley stands near the entranceway and then takes a bow to taunt Tatanka.


Match 3 | The Million Dollar Gaunlet | The Undertaker vs IRS
The Million Dollar Corporation come down to the ring with their manager Ted Dibiase. The Undertaker then made his entrance. IRS will be starting it off with The Undertaker so the referee wants the rest of the corporation members to make their way to the back. Bam Bam is taunting The Undertaker while he is leaving with Bundy and Luger. IRS attacks Undertaker from behind and the bell rings.

Undertaker misses an elbow drop and then IRS put the boots on The Undertaker. IRS gets a headlock on The Undertaker, Undertaker powers out of it and drops IRS with a back suplex.

IRS gets on the apron and nails Undertaker with a double axe handle. He sends Undertaker back in. Undertaker reversed a whip and hits the diving clothesline. Undertaker scoops IRS up and drops him with the tombstone and gets the 3 count. 1 down, 2 to go.

The Million Dollar Gaunlet | The Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy
Ted Dibiase calls for the next Corporation to come down and it's King Kong Bundy. Dibiase having words with Bundy, Undertaker beat Bundy two weeks ago and Dibiase wants Bundy to punish The Undertaker. Bundy hit the ring and got into a slugfest with The Undertaker, Bundy hits a headbutt and then whips Undertaker to the corner. Bundy with another irish whip sending Undertaker into the other corner. Bundy crushes The Undertaker with the avalanche. He whips him to the opposite corner and tries it again but Undertaker avoids it. Undertaker off the ropes tries a clothesline on Bundy but Bundy doesn't go down. Undertaker tries again and this time he knocks Bundy down. Undertaker does the rope walk and nails Bundy with a right hand across the neck. Undertaker signals for a chokeslam and wait a minute Dibiase calls for help. Undertaker then hits the chokeslam and pins Bundy for the 3 count. 2 down 1 to go as Undertaker manages to finish off Bundy very quickly. As soon as Undertaker got back up, he gets ambushed by Doink and Papa Shango. They're not even in this match. Dibiase is laughing. Undertaker tries fighting back but Shango nails Undertaker with the voodoo stick right in the gut. Shango scoops Undertaker up for a piledriver as Doink went up on the second rope and they hit a spike piledriver. Shango and Doink leave to huge heat and the damage has been done as Lex Luger slowly walks down to the ring taking his time. Luger will be the third and final Corporation member to run the gaunlet and Dibiase wants the ref to ring the bell. What more does Undertaker have left in him.

The Million Dollar Gaunlet | The Undertaker vs Lex Luger
Lex Luger got in the ring and stomps away on The Undertaker. Luger then delivers a suplex and Undertaker kicks out at 2. Luger taking it to The Undertaker. Undertaker avoids a corner charge from Luger and then Undertaker does the rope walk and nails Luger across the back of the neck.

The ref warns Dibiase to get off the apron, Bam Bam got on the other apron but he's got the urn behind his hand. Undertaker tries getting his hands on Bam Bam but Bam Bam cracks The Undertaker across the skull with the urn. Bigelow removes the evidence and Luger goes for the cover and got the 3 count to win the match. Luger has a smile on his face as Luger celebrates with Bam Bam and Dibiase. This just proved to be too much for The Undertaker. He wasn't just up against 3 men, he had to also deal with Dibiase, Bam Bam, Doink and Papa Shango. What a miscarriage of justice this is and Bigelow, Dibiase and Luger celebrate up the entranceway as Paul Bearer checks on The Undertaker. You can bet The Undertaker will get his payback at some point. Undertaker's facing Bam Bam at WrestleMania but after what we saw right now, you can expect the entire Corporation being involved along with Doink and Papa Shango. President Jack Tunney needs to do something about this.
Winner: Lex Luger

Backstage Shawn Michaels and Sid are angry over what went down earlier in Shawn's match. Shawn thinks Diesel is a coward, being big doesn't make Diesel the wrestler of the 90s. Michaels claims that he's far beyond everybody in the WWF and that's not gonna change. Sid then challenges Diesel to a match next week and Sid vows to crush Diesel.

The King's Court | Special Guests Bret Hart and Razor Ramon
Jerry Lawler is in the ring and The King's Court is set up. Lawler is running down the fans and at WrestleMania the crowd will be split. They're going to have a tough time deciding who to root for when two men that he hates face each other at WrestleMania. One man thinks he's the bad guy, mr machismo, the man that should have never won the Royal Rumble, Razor Ramon. Razor came out to a huge ovation. Razor stares Lawler down and throws his tooth pick in Lawler's face and Razor warns Lawler not to try to get funny with him. Lawler's already getting annoyed. Lawler tells Razor he's not here to pick a fight, he's here to do an interview. Then Lawler starts bragging about how he's humiliated Bret over the last two years. Lawler then calls out Bret Hart who comes out to a huge ovation. Lawler is not pleased with the ovation the Hitman received and he wants Bret's music to be cut and Lawler starts getting down to the point. Lawler really can't believe why these moron fans want to see Bret Hart vs Razor Ramon at WrestleMania. He calls Razor a thug and he doesn't deserve to be representing the WWF as the WWF Champion. As for Bret Hart, he shouldn't be the champion, that belt should have been Owen's. Lawler talks about how both men have some sort of respect for each other but he thinks it's bogus and it's just to fool all these moron fans. Deep down Bret and Razor both hate each other and Lawler actually hopes that they both tear each other apart at WrestleMania. Bret cuts Lawler off and he knows what Lawler is up to, he knows the type of games Lawler is playing trying to get Bret and Razor to go against each other.

Lawler then stirs up trouble and brings up comments that Razor made about Bret's family two years ago to wind Bret up. He then winds Razor up that Bret beat him twice and since then Razor has never recovered. The last time they faced each other was at the King of the Ring two years ago. Bret beat Razor in the opening match and Bret went on to win the tournament but we all know what happened at the end when Bret got crowned by yours truly hahahaha. Lawler laughs. Bret tells King he's that close to knocking him out so King shuts up. Bret challenges Lawler to a match this week on Superstars. Razor tells Bret that he's a great champion, one of the best but it's time for the torch to be passed. Now it's the bad guy's time to step up the ladder. Just like he climbed the ladder to success at WrestleMania last year, this time he's going for the big one and come WrestleMania, he's taking The Hitman's title. Bret responds back by telling Razor how he walked The Razor's Edge before and made Razor submit. When they meet again, Razor will find out just like everyone else why The Hitman is the best there is, the best there was and the best there.... Razor takes the mic off Bret and wait a minute both men having a staredown. King chimes in and asks why make these people wait till WrestleMania when we can see a good fight right now. Come on tear each other apart, we all want to see it. Bret knows Lawler's stirring up trouble so he turns his attention on Lawler and grabs Lawler by the jacket. Bret goes for a right hand and King ducks and Bret nails Razor with a right hand. Razor got back up and shoves Bret, Bret shoves him back and Razor nails Bret with a right hand. Bret tackles Razor down and they start brawling. Lawler rolls out of the ring and Lawler's smiling as officials run down to break it up, both men being pulled apart by the referees. Look at what the King has done. Bret and Razor notice Lawler laughing and he's got a big grin on his face as Raw goes off the air.




WWF Superstars | March 18 | 1995
Hakushi defeated Bart Gunn. During the match it was announced that Yokozuna will be facing Billy Gunn this coming Monday on Raw.

The Headshrinkers vs Doink and Papa Shango ended in a double count out. Both teams ended up brawling near the entrance way until officials came out to seperate both teams.

Owen Hart defeated a jobber. Following the match Bob Backlund appears on the screen and he's standing along with some local jobber in the locker room. He made a bet with this guy that the guy won't be able to escape the crossface chickenwing. Backlund tells Owen there is no escape from the crossface chickenwing and Owen will be screaming in pain and he's going to show Owen a demonstration that there is no escape. This will be Owen Hart at WrestleMania. Backlund asks the local jobber if he can try to get out of the hold and the guy thinks he can do it. Backlund puts the chickenwing quickly on him and the guy immediately gives up. He wants Backlund to let go, Backlund is screaming Owen's name and yells come on Owen give up, come on give up. Backlund has lost it. Backlund yells am i going to retire and the guy screams Noooo. Finally he lets go and says ladies and gentleman the winner and new Intercontinental Champion, Mr Bob Backlund. Owen is disgusted and the crowd gives Backlund a great ovation.

Bret Hart defeated Jerry Lawler. Razor Ramon comes out at the end of the match and stands near ringside to stare down Bret. Bret holds up the WWF Title taunting Ramon.

Also on the show Vince McMahon conducts an Interview with President Jack Tunney. Vince discussed The Million Dollar Gaunlet on Monday Night Raw. The Undertaker will get his chance to get his revenge on Bam Bam at WrestleMania but you can certainly expect the same people who interfered in the gaunlet to be involved in Undertaker's match at WrestleMania. How can Jack Tunney put a stop to this? Tunney decides that he's not going to ban The Corporation from ringside because they're going to have to deal with someone who's going to stop outside interference. Just like Undertaker's match with Yokozuna at Survivor Series, he appointed a special enforcer and it worked so well that we're going to have a special enforcer for Undertaker's match against Bam Bam at WrestleMania. This man has history with Ted Dibiase and we saw him at Saturday Night's Main Event. This man will be there this Monday on Raw and the special enforcer is Rowdy Roddy Piper. The fans love this announcement and Vince can't wait to see Hot Rod on Raw.

Backstage The Million Dollar Man and Bam Bam are not pleased with Jack Tunney's announcement. Bam Bam says bring on Piper, he doesn't care. If he gets in Bam Bam's way then he's going to wipe Piper out. Bam Bam thinks Undertaker is nothing without his urn and on Raw this week, The Corporation showed The Undertaker how strong they are. Bam Bam wants his match with The Undertaker to be a no holds barred match, here there are no rules, this is exactly what Bam Bam wants. This is his kind of match and he's going to do whatever it takes to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

WWF Wrestling Challenge | March 19 | 1995
Jeff Jarrett defeated Bob Holly

Jean Pierre Lefite defeated a jobber

The British Bulldog defeated a jobber. Following the match Lex Luger ran down to attack The Bulldog. Luger sends Bulldog to the ropes, Bulldog ducks a clothesline and came off the ropes and hit Luger with a clothesline. Bulldog follows up with another clothesline sending Luger to the floor and the crowd is going nuts. Bulldog flexes his muscles and taunts Luger as Luger backs up the entranceway. What a match up this is going to be when these two powerhouses square off at WrestleMania.

New WWF Interviewer Sunny presented a face to face segment in the studios. Joining Sunny this week is The Intercontinental Champion Owen Hart and Bob Backlund. Owen appears on the screen first. Owen welcomes Sunny to the WWF, he's proud to see a new face in the WWF because she's New Generation. Bob Backlund then appears on the screen and Sunny talks about the importance of this match, it's title vs career. She talks about Bob Backlund's incredible 6 year WWF Title reign but Owen interrupts and asks Sunny why doesn't she ask Backlund who helped him win the WWF Title at Survivor Series and how long did that reign last? Backlund cuts in and tells Owen has he ever been WWF Champion? Backlund says his one Rumble performance in 1993 lasted longer than Owen's previous three Rumble performances combined. Owen fires back and asks Backlund has he ever been King of the Ring. Both men start arguing and Backlund states that he's a stubborn man and he doesn't give up easily and he's going to take that belt off Owen. He's going to take this title to a new level. Owen fires back and claims that he's already given the belt so much prestige because he's already the King. He knows that Backlund's a lunatic but he sure can wrestle but Owen believes that he's a better wrestler than Backlund and he can outwrestle Backlund. Backlund starts yelling about how he's going to dismantle Owen when they meet at WrestleMania. Owen's response was that he will show any compassion for him, he's going to have no regret in ending Backlund's career. Both men argue and Sunny thanks both men for joining her and she can't wait for WrestleMania.

It is announced that tomorrow night on Raw, newcomer Savio Vega will take on the huge King Kong Bundy.

Razor Ramon defeated Henry Godwinn. Bret Hart came down to join Gorilla Monsoon and Jim Ross for commentary. Bret states that he would someday like to see Razor become champion but right now there's no chance of that happening. At WrestleMania, he's going to shatter Razor's dream and the reality is that he's beat Razor twice and he's going to do it again for the third time. Near the end of the match, when Razor was about to put away Godwinn, he looks at Bret and motions for the belt. Could this be The Hitman at WrestleMania? Bret says he's the excellence of excecution and he's got a counter for every hold. Razor scoops Godwinn up and drops him with the Razor's Edge to win the match. Bret stood up and held his title up and Razor motions for the title. Next week will be the final episode of Wrestling Challenge

Also on the show, Jim Ross interviewed Tatanka. Jim Ross brings up the confrontation between Tatanka and Hunter Hearst Helmsley on Raw. We don't know much about Helmsley but he's already starting to become very unpopular here in the WWF. Tatanka talks about his roots, how proud he is of his heritage. He represents all Native Americans and over the past two weeks, Helmsley was making fun of not only him but several other superstars. A rich snob like Hunter Hearst Helmsley may have got what he had wanted in life but now he's here in the WWF. Here you have to fight for everything. You have to work your way to the top. Tatanka explains about how he had goals when he was about to arrive in the WWF. He was sitting in his homeland with all of his native Americans. His vision was to climb to the top of the mountain of the WWF. He found out the hard way that this isn't so easy, but a guy like Hunter Hearst Helmsley's already so confident that he's the future of the WWF. Well now that he's here, Hunter's going to find out the hard way what the WWF is all about.

WWF News
The newcomer, Hunter Hearst Helmsley is set to take on Tatanka at WrestleMania. Expect to see an official announcement being made soon. Hunter Hearst Helmsley has already started to make friends in the locker room and they are The Kliq. Already Hunter has settled in well. The Kliq is a backstage group which contains Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Razor Ramon and The 123 Kid. In real life, these four men are good friends but on screen only Shawn is the heel. The Kliq has had a lot of backstage influence and several superstars do not like The Kliq. With The Kliq taking Hunter under their wing, expect to see Helmsley being a big part of the new generation.

WWF Management is extremely high on The 123 Kid and it is expected that he will get a good push this year. Shawn Michaels certainly had no problem putting his friend over and it gets to show that The Kliq don't have a problem putting each other over.

Officials have thought about turning Shawn Michaels face but Shawn Michaels was against the idea as he enjoys playing the role of a heel.

A 10 man tag team match will be taking place at WrestleMania featuring some of the stars that are not on the card yet. An announcement will be made for this match a few days before WrestleMania. Don't expect to see this match last long, it's just to get some of the stars on the card.

Following Lex Luger's victory over The Undertaker in the gaunlet match, Officials have discussed the idea of a feud between The Undertaker and Lex Luger in the near future. This will continue the angle between The Undertaker and The Million Dollar Corporation.

An announcement for the debut of a new WWF ppv coming in May will be made soon on WWF programming.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

WWF Monday Night Raw | March 20 | 1995
The Raw video package plays and Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler welcome us to the show. Tonight Rowdy Roddy Piper returns and he's going to be The King's guest on the King's Court. Lawler was not excited to have Piper on The King's Court but he's got a lot of questions to ask Piper. Lawler complained about losing to Bret Hart on Superstars, he claims that Bret cheated. They plug the rest of the matches we will be seeing tonight including the big main event as Big Daddy Cool Diesel takes on Sycho Sid.

Match 1 | Savio Vega vs King Kong Bundy
Savio Vega's music hits and here comes the newcomer Savio Vega to a good ovation. Savio's very excited to be here on Raw tonight, making his first appearance. We saw him in action on Superstars and he was very impressive. Lawler cuts Vince off and thinks Savio could have a short stay because he's got a big task ahead of him, he's taking on the huge King Kong Bundy. There's no chance Savio's getting past Bundy. King Kong Bundy then came out without Ted Dibiase. Bundy thinks he can beat Savio easy since Savio is a newcomer here. The match begins with Bundy throwing Savio around the ring. Savio then comes off the ropes and tries taking Bundy off his feet but it doesn't work. Bundy taunts Savio, Savio tries taking Bundy off his feet again but ran into a clothesline. Bundy with a slam and missed an elbow drop. Savio then hammers away at Bundy with right hands. He tries sending Bundy to the corner but Bundy with a reversal. Savio ducks a clothesline.

Savio celebrates as he receives a good ovation from the fans. Savio goes and celebrates outside.
Winner: Savio Vega
Vince gets a quick word with Savio. Savio says Bundy was one tough opponent and that's what it will be like here in the WWF. The going will be tough but Savio Vega's a fighter. He's very determined and he's going to be successful here in the WWF. Ted Dibiase makes his way down with IRS as Savio starts leaving. Dibiase walks pasts Savio and he's furious at Bundy. He berates Bundy for losing to a newcomer. Bundy's been losing a lot of matches recently and now Dibiase's lost his cool. Dibiase yells at Bundy for embarrasing the Corporation. He slaps Bundy and that's a big mistake right there. Bundy grabs Dibiase by the collar and IRS attacks Bundy. Bundy takes IRS down with a clothesline as Dibiase rolls out of the ring. Here comes Lex Luger and Bam Bam. They try to calm Bundy down and stop him from beating IRS up. When IRS is back to his feet, Luger and Bam Bam turn on Bundy and the Corporation members all gang up on Bundy. Bundy gets beat down by The Corporation. Dibiase gets a mic and tells Bundy that he's fired from the Corporation. Dibiase shoves a $100 bill down Bundy's throat.


Backstage Razor Ramon congratulates Savio Vega and Razor thinks Savio's going to be a big star here in the WWF. Vince McMahon then gets a word with Razor. Razor sends a message to Bret. Yo Hitman, oyyame chico, not long to go till WrestleMania. The Bad Guy can't wait. Razor mentions that he fought his way off the streets and his goal was to get to the top of the WWF. He climbed the ladder last year to make history at WrestleMania but he's gonna go one better this year. Now The Hitman who's defeated him twice stands in his way. Razor calls Bret the best there was but at WrestleMania it's all going to change. Razor Ramon is gonna have the WWF Title gold around his waist. Razor throws his toothpick at the camera.

Match 2 | The 123 Kid and Bob Backlund vs Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart
Jeff Jarrett and Road Dogg came out first followed by Owen Hart. The 123 Kid and Bob Backlund came out together to a great ovation. Owen starts the match off against The 123 Kid.

Jarrett argues that he just made in back in but the ref is having none of it. Jarrett, Road Dogg and Owen then begin to leave and stare down Bob Backlund and The Kid.
Result: Double Count Out

Vince McMahon then shows us a promo from Hunter Hearst Helmsley earlier on. Helmsley was in a restaurant as he's finished eating. Helmsley was going to give the waiter a tip but changes his mind and tells the waiter that he doesn't deserve it. He tells the waiter that he falls in the same category as Tatanka, both of them are beneath him and have no class. Hunter Hearst Helmsley brags that he's all about class and last week on Raw he showed what a fine superstar he is. Hunter vows to become a huge superstar in the WWF.

Match 3 | Billy Gunn vs Yokozuna
Yokozuna made his way down with Mr Fuji and Jim Cornette. Billy Gunn then came down with Bart. Yokozuna controls the match at the start by throwing Billy around the ring. Yokozuna then gets a nerve hold on Billy, Billy gets back up to his feet and breaks out of the hold. Billy tries taking Yokozuna off his feet but can't get the big man down. Yokozuna reversed a whip and sends Billy to the turnbuckle. Billy Gunn avoids a charge and then hammers away at Yokozuna. Billy off the top rope and nails Yokozuna with a double axe handle taking Yokozuna down to one knee.

Yokozuna gets the 3 count and gets the quick win. Yokozuna refuses to get up. Bart got in and hits Yokozuna with lefts and rights knocking Yokozuna outside the ring. Bart goes to check on Billy and Yokozuna wants to get in but he's restrained by Cornette and Fuji, Yokozuna taunts Bart and raises his arm in victory. Hakushi and Yokozuna have picked up singles victories now against The Gunns and they have to be the favourites going into the tag team title match at WrestleMania.
Winner: Yokozuna
We then go to Sunny for the WrestleMania Report. We hear comments from Bret Hart. Bret gives credit to his fans who never stopped believing in him. They gave him support and helped him bounce back and he became the WWF champion again. Bret says the fans believe in him and they are the reason why he keeps going. Now all these great fans are going to witness a classic match at WrestleMania XI. Bret's looking forward to stepping in the ring with Razor Ramon. They don't get any tougher than Razor. There will be no excuses after WrestleMania and Bret believes that he's going to win. At the end of the match, he's going to be walking out with his title with the WWF Title belt being draped around his shoulder.



The King's Court | Special Guest Rowdy Roddy Piper
Jerry Lawler's in the ring and it's now time for The Kings' Court. Lawler insults the fans. Lawler then calls out Rowdy Roddy Piper who comes out to a great ovation. Piper has a smile on his face and laughs at Lawler and asks Lawler how he's doing? The last time they were in the ring together was at the King of the Ring and Piper reminds Lawler that he beat him. Lawler then gets to the point. He thinks Piper did not do a fair job at Saturday Night's Main Event but now he's got another issue to deal with. He's got to deal with The Million Dollar Corporation. With Piper as the enforcer, there's no way he'll be able to stop The Corporation or any other superstars getting their hands on The Undertaker. Piper thinks he did a great job as a referee and now as an enforcer he's going to do even better. What went down last week was completely out of line and that's why President Tunney has selected him to make sure no one interferes. If they do, they're going to have to deal with Hot Rod. He doesn't care if they're strong, big or scary looking. He sends a message to The Corporation that you don't want to make him mad, everyone has to pay the Piper. Lawler thinks Piper will be the one paying the price. Speaking of price, he forgot to tell Piper that he has another guest, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Ted Dibiase came out with Bam Bam. Dibiase thinks Piper has no business being out there as the enforcer but now that he is if he gets in the Corporation's way at WrestleMania then he's going to suffer the same fate like King Kong Bundy did earlier tonight.

Piper says he's not intimidated at all by The Corporation, he knows what kind of person Dibiase is like. Dibiase fires back and he knows the sort of person Piper is and because of Piper he suffered one of his most humiliating defeats of his career when he lost to Virgil. Piper tells Dibiase and Bigelow that The Undertaker never lets his enemies get away. At WrestleMania he's going to get his revenge against Bam Bam. At WrestleMania, Bigelow will be the one resting in peace. Wait a minute now Bam Bam is mad, Bigelow gets in Piper's face and Dibiase says get him Bam Bam. Piper turns his attention on Dibiase and Bam Bam with a right hand on Piper. Bigelow and Dibiase put the boots to Piper and suddenly the lights go out. The lights are back on and Piper is outside the ring and THE UNDERTAKER is right behind Dibiase and Bam Bam and the crowd is going nuts. Jerry Lawler rolls out of the ring. Dibiase and Bam Bam turn around and Undertaker has them both by the throat. Bigelow fights out of it as Dibiase escapes. Bigelow and Undertaker get into a slugfest and Bigelow sends Undertaker to the ropes, Undertaker ducks a clothesline and hits a flying clothesline. Bigelow rolls out the ring and Undertaker and Bam Bam brawl outside and Bigelow rams Undertaker's head into the post. Undertaker no sells it and stares right into Bam Bam's eyes and Bam Bam is shocked. Undertaker whips Bam Bam into the steel steps. Lex Luger and IRS run down and Undertaker nails IRS with a right hand and Luger decides to back off. The Corporation back up the entrance way as Undertaker does his cut throat motion and stares down the Corporation. Piper points at Dibiase and tells him that he's the one that's going to pay the price and feel the wrath of The Undertaker.


A clip is shown of Wrestling Challenge and this week will be the final Wrestling Challenge show. Vince mentioned that Gorilla Monsoon and Jim Ross who host Wrestling Challenge will replace him and Jerry Lawler on Superstars.

Match 4 | Diesel vs Sycho Sid
Sid came down with Shawn Michaels and with Shawn being there at ringside, it doesn't look good for Diesel. Last week The 123 Kid defeated Shawn Michaels and Michaels blames Diesel for that defeat. Diesel then came out to a big ovation. The match begins with a staredown, Shawn's distracts Diesel and Sid gets a cheapshot on Diesel. Sid hammers away at Diesel in the corner, Diesel fights back with right hands. He whips Sid to the corner and delivers a corner clothesline. Diesel with reverse elbows in the corner. Diesel then sends Sid to the floor with a devastating clothesline. Diesel taunts Shawn as Shawn helps Sid back up and Sid is furious. Sid got back in and gets into a slugfest with Diesel, Sid rakes Diesel's eyes and slams him. Sid misses an elbow drop and now Diesel with some forearms on Sid. Diesel places Sid on the ropes and comes off the ropes and drops his weight across the back of Sycho Sid. Sid then reversed an irish whip and sends Diesel hard into the turnbuckle. Sid then works on Diesel's back and takes complete control. Sid has Diesel on the ropes and distracts the ref while Shawn gets some cheapshots on Diesel. Sid with a few uppercuts and then jams his knee into the back of Diesel. Sid then puts a camel clutch on Diesel, the fans get behind Diesel as Diesel powers out and drives Sid to the corner. Diesel with reverse elbows to Sid in the corner. He whips Sid to the ropes and delivers a sidewalk slam. Here we go Diesel signals for the jackknife. Shawn's on the apron and Diesel decides to go after Shawn. Diesel chases Shawn around ringside until Shawn got in the ring and hides behind the ref. Sid from behind sends Diesel shoulder first into the post. Sid delivers a one handed chokeslam on Diesel. Sid then brings Diesel back up to his feet and drops him with the powerbomb. Sid went for the cover and gets the 3 count. What a win for Sid and Shawn is jumping outside the ring with joy and goes and gets in the ring and celebrates with Sid. Shawn then mocks Diesel's taunt and stands tall over Diesel as Raw goes off the air.
Winner: Sycho Sid
WWF Superstars | March 25 | 1995
Bret Hart defeated Mantaur. Bret's sister Diana was in attendance along with Harry Smith.

Bam Bam defeated Aldo Montoya. After the match as Bigelow was making his way to the back, he stops when The Undertaker appears on the video wall. Undertaker sends a message to Bam Bam. With the absence of his sacred urn, The Undertaker says he's reached out to his creatures of the night to utilise their power as his driving force. Bam Bam may be called the beast from the east but the beast is going to be stepping in the ring at WrestleMania with the lord of the jungle. At WrestleMania, Undertaker vows to collect his urn & will fill it with the soul of Bam Bam.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Duke the Dumpster Droese. Before the match began, Hunter refused to face Droese because he's a garbage man and he smells. HHH holds his nose and decides to walk off and gets booed heavily. Tatanka comes down and starts pointing at HHH telling him to get back in and fight. Hunter turns around and Droese is right behind him, he sends him back in and the bell rings. Hunter ended up winning the match by hitting the pedigree on Droese. Following the match Helmsley was seen spraying himself with his spray bottle that he carries to the ring.

The Headshrinkers defeated Men on a Mission. The winning team gets a future title shot against the tag team champions. Following the match, Men on a Mission upset about the defeat attacked The Headshrinkers. Mable squashed Fatu in the corner and then hits a splash on Seone. Afa and Lou Albano got in to put a stop to this but got attacked by Men on a Mission. Oscar tried stopping his team from doing further damage on Afa and Albano but Mable and Mo turned on Oscar. Mable hits a legdrop on Oscar. Mable and Mo leave to huge heat.

Also on the show Vince McMahon interviews The Million Dollar Man Dibiase and Lex Luger. Dibiase states that he's out here for a good cause. He's going to give a fan $100 but remember nothing is free around here and if they want to earn this money they have got to work for it. Since The British Bulldog's son is here in the front row he wants The Bulldog's son to get in the ring and earn great money. Now this is Harry's chance to prove that he's not going to be a loser like his father. Dibiase wants Harry to come in the ring. Harry refuses but Dibiase said he can buy anything or anybody. So he tells Harry instead of $100, he's going to give him $500 if he can do some push ups in the ring. That's all he has to do. Harry now wants to do this but Diana doesn't really want him to go ahead with this. Harry decides to get in the ring and takes the challenge. Luger wants all these young children to look up to him as a role model and not The British Bulldog. Vince asks Dibiase is he really going to give Harry the money is he's successful because a few years ago, Dibiase set a young kid a basketball challenge and Dibiase cheated him out of the money. Dibiase says if Harry can do the push ups then he gets the money. Luger first demonstrates how to do push ups. Luger gets up and starts flexing his muscles. Luger then tells Harry to do five push ups as a demonstration. Harry manages to do five push ups and Harry then asks for his money but Dibiase tells Harry to hold on.

If Harry can manage to do 10 push ups he gets $500. The fans start to count and Harry is doing well and then struggles and the fans root him on as he gets to 9. He's almost getting to 10 but Luger put his foot on Harry's back and Harry fails to do the 10th push up. Dibiase laughs and Dibiase and Luger get huge heat for this. Dibiase says aww Harry we didn't get to 10. Better luck next time. Harry says he did his best but Luger and Dibiase cheated. Ted tells him that doing your best isn't good enough for them and it's quite simple Harry doesn't get the money, Now beat it kid hahahahhaha!! Harry is upset and Diana is disgusted with the actions of Luger. Dibiase holds up his briefcase and said no one is richer than The Million Dollar Man and you have to work hard to earn this money and none of these fans will be getting this hahahhaaha!!! Suddenly The British Bulldog ran down and got the briefcase off Dibiase and knocked Luger down with the briefcase and Dibiase flees the ring. Bulldog and Harry then hand out money to the fans which gets a loud ovation. Ted Dibiase was furious and Harry even ends up getting his $500. Bulldog then celebrates with his family.

WWF Wrestling Challenge | March 26 | 1995
This is the final episode of Wrestling Challenge and we are a week away from WrestleMania XI. Results: Henry Godwinn defeated Bob Holly, Jean Pierre Lefite defeated Man Mountain Rock, Doink & Papa Shango defeated The Heavenly Bodies

An Undertaker promo is shown as The Undertaker is in a graveyard digging a grave. Paul Bearer states that his Undertaker is back with a vengeance. He goes to the tomb where some of Undertaker's victims names are shown and Bearer says Bam Bam Bigelow will be next. Undertaker says at WrestleMania, the beast from the east will meet his maker.

We hear pre recorded comments from King Kong Bundy who promises to get revenge on The Million Dollar Corporation.

Sunny is in the studio hosting the face to face segment. We hear comments from The Smoking Gunns and their opponents at WrestleMania, Yokozuna and Hakushi. Jim Cornette thinks The Smoking Gunns are afraid of Yokozuna and Hakushi. Hakushi and Yokozuna have already defeated them in singles competition. Billy interrupts and tells Cornette that The Smoking Gunns have been teaming up for a long time and in tag team competition they are the best team in the WWF. Yokozuna and Hakushi may have got the better of them in singles competition but in tag team competition, they're going to get beat by The Smoking Gunns. Mr Fuji cuts in and says Yokozuna and Hakushi are the most dangerous team in the WWF and they are going to crush The Smoking Gunns. Bart Gunn thinks Fuji and Cornette are getting very over confident and should not under estimate The Smoking Gunns. They may be the underdogs but they're going to give it their 100% to retain the titles. They worked hard to win these belts and they're going to retain these belts. Jim Cornette tells The Gunns to keep on dreaming because they're going in there against a monster and the best high flyer in the WWF. At WrestleMania, his team will win the tag team titles. Yokozuna yells BANZAI!!!

Also on the show Jim Ross interviewed Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Ross asks Hunter that he's already very unpopular here in the WWF, he's already getting on the bad side of several superstars. Is Hunter making a wise choice here? Hunter says a lot of superstars are just jealous of him, they just wish they were Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Take Tatanka for example. Hunter thinks Tatanka hasn't got what it takes to be a star and that's something which Hunter will become. Ross thinks Tatanka's a tremendous competitor, he was undefeated for a very long time. Hunter says so what! Tatanka's been here for 2 1/2 years and he's never won a title here. Now unlike Tatanka, Hunter vows to win titles in the WWF. Tatanka comes down and it looks like he's had enough. Tatanka gets in the ring and tells Helmsley that he's been running his mouth and now it's time for Hunter to get competition. Tatanka thinks Helmsley won't be having an undefeated streak like Tatanka because he's going to hand Helmsley a defeat real soon. Tatanka challenges Hunter to a match at WrestleMania. Helmsley said he definetely wants to compete at WrestleMania but not against Tatanka. Tatanka is just no match for him. Helmsley is about to leave the ring but Tatanka tells him to hold on. He asks Hunter if he's afraid to get beat? He's only been here since last week and he's just afraid that he's going to get beat real soon. That's why Helmsley's backing out of the match. Hunter ends up agreeing to the match and gets out of the ring. Tatanka poses for the crowd and Hunter slides back in and attacks Tatanka from behind by sending him shoulder first into the ring post. Helmsley then plants the pedigree on Tatanka and then takes a bow to humiliate Tatanka.

Razor Ramon defeated IRS. The announcers then thanked the fans for joining them for the final episode of Wrestling Challenge. WrestleMania is next Sunday and what a ppv it is going to be.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

i wouldn't be surprised at all if Wrestlemania would be the massive event ever like it was in this BTB, as far as the matches are, i'm going to start with Lex Luger vs British Bulldog, now why would Lex bring Davey's family and mistreat them with disrespect, and have Luger taunt Bulldog while he's down infront of his own family,

i don't get it, i'm glad Bulldog got a bit of revenge and gave Harry the money but i don't see this Bulldog/Luger feud ending anytime soon,

number one thing being about King Kong Bundy leaving the Million Dollar Corporation, you remember when they had the 1999 storyline in which Bossman turned on the Corporate Ministry and then rejoined them, i think that shall happen, but as far as Bundy's days in this BTB i believe they are over, so MDC now have a lot of rivals to deal with,

and speaking of Bam Bam Bigelow still can't get a break from The Undertaker before Wrestlemania, with Piper being brought along is awesome too, as far as Undertaker goes, i wouldn't see Undertaker's streak end here on this BTB, as far as the No Holds Barred stipulation goes, i like that idea, i just wish Taker and Bam Bam would fight in real life at Wrestlemania 11 instead of giving Bam Bam a chance to fight LT, and Undertaker having to fight King Kong Bundy, oh and i'm interested to see what you will be doing with the urn whether you will give it back to The Undertaker or have somebody of course take it, but this feud with Bam Bam i don't see that ending too, i would have the two end their feud at the first In Your House with some kind of gimmick,

Hunter Hearst Helmsley he's already made a big impact in your BTB challenging one of the underrated stars i think Tatanka, Tatanka went from being a native, to joining the Million Dollar Corporation and going down the uppercards once again in where he was jobbed many times, i don't see Tatanka winning at Wrestlemania to a newcomer, i would much rather push Hunter, there could be big stars Hunter could face like Diesel, Razor Ramon, The Undertaker and Bret Hart.

Yokozuna and Hakushi as well scoring singles wins over the WWF Tag Team Champions definitely spells trouble for the Smoking Gunns, i see Yoko and Hakushi taking the gold, hell. That could be a dangerous team any WWF Tag Teams would've contended with in 1995 if they teamed up in real life

as much as i'm a big fan of Bob Backlund being a threat to Owen's intercontinental title, i like the idea of Backlund challenging it, but i don't see Backlund taking the gold because that would be too weak for Backlund to win the belt and then lose it like he did with the WWF Title for three days when Diesel beat him for it

speaking of Diesel, Diesel and HBK, this is going to be an intense end at Wrestlemania 11, but i do think after this, Sid will dump Shawn Michaels but have the storyline into where the Million Dollar Corporation helps Sid beat up on Shawn Michaels the next night after RAW while Shawn and Sid have their argument and let Diesel come out to chase off all the members of the Corporation,

I'm anxious to see about Savio Vega too whether he will be at Wrestlemania and whether he will be booked or not, i say give Savio a standard match at Wrestlemania, you said there was going to be a 10-man Tag Team Match i say give Savio the chance and let him be the star in this match,

the big one i'm more than interested in, Bret Hart and Razor Ramon for Wrestlemania, my pick to win the championship is definitely Razor Ramon, because they gave Razor a good year in 1994, but 1995 should've been Razor's chance to win the World Wrestling Federation Championship, so i would give Razor the WWF Title and i don't see the idea of Razor turning Heel as well, i say Razor should stay a face for as long and hang on to the WWF Title til the end of 1995,

i'm excited for the Go-Home RAW before Wrestlemania, can't wait for that.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

Thanks for the review. For Undertaker vs Bam Bam I was going to do either a lumberjack match or a casket match but I went for a no holds barred match instead. Raw will be up in a few days.

WWF News and Notes
Last year at WrestleMania X, a 10 man tag team match was scrapped from the card. This year a 10 man tag team match was planned for WrestleMania XI but now officials have decided not to go with a 10 man tag team match. Instead a new match will be announced for WrestleMania on Monday Night Raw.

A 20 man battle royal will take place on the WrestleMania countdown show(pre-show) More updates on this soon.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

WWF Monday Night Raw | March 27 | 1995
Raw begins with a special message from President Jack Tunney as Tunney is sat at his desk in his office. He looks into the camera and made a very important announcement for the fans of the World Wrestling Federation. After the success of Saturday Night's Main Event, he's come to a decision that the WWF will now start to air monthly ppvs. That's right the WWF has decided to add more ppvs to the calender, we want the fans to see more great action. On May 14 Live on Mother's Day, exclusively on ppv, the WWF will be debuting a brand new ppv event. The event will be called In Your House and you will not only get to see In Your House in May but also in July, September, October and December. The In Your House events will be two hours long at a discounted price at $14.95 per In Your House event. So now our great fans will get to see a lot more action and at a discounted price. More details about this event will be revealed next week on Monday Night Raw.

The Raw video package plays and Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler welcome us to the show. We are six days away till WrestleMania XI and what a huge announcement that was from President Jack Tunney. They plug the show for tonight as Bret Hart faces Double J Jeff Jarrett, also Razor Ramon will be in action against Papa Shango. Here comes Shawn Michaels along with Sycho Sid.

Match 1 | Shawn Michaels vs Savio Vega
Shawn got on the mic and brags that he's going about how he's going to go out there and steal the show at WrestleMania. Guys like Diesel are a dime a dozen but people like The Heart Break Kid come across once in a life time. Shawn thinks Diesel will fail at WrestleMania. Shawn then promises to give everyone a show that they've never ever seen before, why because he can. As for tonight, he wants a warm up match for WrestleMania so he challenges anyone in the back who has the guts to take him on. Savio Vega came down to accept the challenge. This man has a lot of guts, he's only been here for a few weeks and he's already on a roll. Last week he overcame the huge King Kong Bundy. Savio's very excited and can he pull off a major upset tonight by defeating Shawn Michaels. The match begins with Michaels and Savio locking up, Michaels sends Savio to the ropes and takes him down with a shoulder block. Savio then reversed a whip and gets an armdrag on Michaels. Savio sends Michaels to the corner, Michaels puts on the breaks with a leapfrog as Savio comes charging in and Michaels hammers away with right hands. Michaels with a snapmare and follows up a stomp on Savio's face. Dropkick by Michaels and gets a 2 count. Savio then reverses an irish whip and gets a back body drop on Michaels and then follows up with a clothesline sending Michaels to the floor. Vega cleaning house here in the early going. Michaels gets back in on the apron, Vega tries to send Michaels back in but Michaels rakes his eyes. What an opportunist Michaels is. Michaels rams Vega's head on the buckles and Michaels went up top and goes for a crossbody but Vega catches him with a right hand to the gut. Vega with a scoop slam and Vega with mounted punches on Michaels. Vega with a suplex and gets a 2 count.

Savio sends Michaels to the ropes, Savio put his head down and Michaels with a swinging neckbreaker on Vega. Michaels puts a chinlock on Vega, the fans get behind Vega as Vega begins to get back to his feet, Vega breaks free and hammers away at Michaels. Vega off the ropes and Michaels catches him with a knee lift. Michaels chokes Vega on the ropes and the ref starts the count and Shawn lets go. Michaels argues with the ref and behind the official's back Sid gets some cheapshots on Vega. Michaels goes for a suplex, Vega blocks and reverses into a backslide and got a 2 count. Michaels got up and went for a right hand but Savio blocks. Vega hammers away at Michaels, Vega sends Michaels to the ropes and nails him with a spinning heel kick knocking Michaels out of the ring. Vega and Michaels fight outside as the ref begins to count. Savio sends Michaels back in but as Michaels gets rolled in Michaels accidently knocked the referee down. Sycho Sid then sends Vega into the ring post. The ref got back up and continued counting as Vega is unable to get back in the ring and gets counted out. Shawn and Sid celebrate. Savio got back in and went after Sid but Michaels with a right hand on Vega. Sid and Michaels double team Vega until Diesel ran down for the save. Diesel tosses Shawn to the floor and Diesel and Savio clothesline Sid over the top rope. Diesel and Savio celebrate in the ring and taunt Shawn and Sid.
Winner by count out: Shawn Michaels


Jim Ross conducted a sit down interview with Bob Backlund
Earlier on today Jim Ross conducted a sit down interview with Bob Backlund. Ross states that this match will be the most important match of Bob Backlund's career. We could either see Bob Backlund winning the Intercontinental title for the very first time or we could see Backlund wrestling his last match. Bob discussed what winning the Intercontinental title would mean to him. He knows he's taking a huge risk into agreeing to this match because his career's on the line but he doesn't back down from any challenge and he's also not a quitter. This is his opportunity to make history because he's never won the Intercontinental title before. That would make him the oldest Intercontinental champion ever. He's wrestled many top superstars in his career and he's looking forward to stepping in the ring against Owen Hart. Ross mentions that Owen is one of the very best superstars in the WWF, he's a great technical wrestler. We're going to see a great match at WrestleMania. Owen has promised he will do whatever it takes to not only keep his title but to end Backlund's career. Can Bob Backlund overcome Owen Hart this Sunday? Backlund says there would be no shame if he had lost to Owen at WrestleMania but it's not going to happen. Backlund says he will be victorious this Sunday. He's fully focused and prepared for this match. He's been working very hard. He's yet to have a big WrestleMania moment but he's going to get it. When he puts that crossface chickenwing on Owen, Owen's going to submit and then Mr Bob Backlund will be announced as the new Intercontinental Champion. Jim Ross thanks Bob and wishes him good luck for this Sunday.


Backstage Todd Petingill gets a word with Savio Vega. Vega issued a challenge to Sycho Sid to a match at WrestleMania.

Match 2 | Razor Ramon vs Papa Shango
Papa Shango's music plays as he's already in the ring. Razor Ramon then came down to a great ovation. When Razor went to hand over his gold to the timekeeper, Shango attacked Razor from behind. Shango with some shots to the back. Shango gets a back suplex on Ramon and gets a 2 count. Razor reversed an irish whip and lands a hard right hand on Shango. Razor goes to work on Shango's arm until Shango rakes Ramon's eyes. Shango with a slam and missed an elbow. Shango reversed a whip and Razor ducks a clothesline, Razor with a series of right hands knocks Shango to the floor and Razor does his stomp on the canvas taunt. Shango got back in and Razor and Shango get into a slugfest, Razor reverses a whip and clotheslines Shango. Razor whips Shango to the corner and Shango avoids the charge as Razor goes face first into the turnbuckle. Shango chokes Razor on the ropes. Shango tries to get his voodo stick but the ref notices it and tells Shango to put the stick down. Shango goes back to work on Razor with some punches in the corner. During Razor's match, we see a split screen as Vince McMahon gets a word from Bret Hart as he gets Bret's thoughts on his match with Razor this Sunday. Bret knows that Razor is one of the toughest superstars in the WWF. Bret talks about the hardest competition that he's had to step in the ring with, one fight after another and this Sunday at WrestleMania he will prove that he is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. Shango gets a chinlock on Razor, Razor gets back to his feet and fights out of the hold by hitting a back suplex. Shango then reversed a whip and sends Razor to the corner. Shango comes charging in and eats boot. Razor goes on the second rope and hits a bulldog and gets a 2 count. Razor calls for the Razor's Edge and has Shango up on his shoulders and drops him with the Razor's Edge. Razor goes for the cover and pins Shango for the 3 count for the victory. A hard fought win for The Bad Guy as he now moves onto WrestleMania this Sunday for the biggest match of his career.
Winner Razor Ramon
Backstage Todd Petingill asks Sid whether he accepts Savio's challenge and Sid tells Todd to shut up. Todd gets afraid and Sid was irate and accepts Savio's challenge. He warns Savio that in Savio's short time here in the WWF he's now landing himself into real trouble. Savio doesn't know what he's getting himself into. What Savio needs to remember one thing that I am the master and ruler of the world and Savio's just the learner. At WrestleMania, Savio's going to face the man who rules the world!!!!!!!



The Beast from the East confronts The Grim Reaper
Bam Bam Bigelow came down to the ring with Ted Dibiase. Dibiase gets a mic and he was furious over what down on Superstars when The Bulldog handed out his money to the fans. Dibiase believes that Luger will teach The Bulldog a lesson and this Sunday at WrestleMania, Bulldog is going to get embarrased infront of his family. Dibiase then discussed The No Holds Barred Match and puts over how dangerous Bam Bam Bigelow is. Rowdy Roddy Piper was lucky to escape from Bam Bam last week but if he sticks his nose in the Corporation's business then he will be pay the price. Bam Bam says it's anything goes and he's going to do whatever it takes to put The Undertaker down once and for all. It's quite simple, the Undertaker doesn't scare him, nobody scares Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow believes that he's going to wipe The Undertaker out and this Sunday it will be The Undertaker who will rest in peace. The lights went out and a casket is there at ringside. The lights were back on and Bigelow and Dibiase don't know what to make of this. Bigelow goes over to the casket and opens it and The Undertaker pops out and grabs Bigelow by the throat. They brawl near ringside and into the ring and Undertaker hits a flying clothesline on Bigelow. Undertaker signals for a chokeslam until Lex Luger and IRS come down for the save. Bigelow gets a chair near ringside and Luger and IRS hold on to The Undertaker. Bam Bam rams the chair right into the gut of The Undertaker and then whacks the chair across the back of The Undertaker. Bigelow places a chair across the face of The Undertaker, he's going up for a moonsault. Bigelow flies through the air and The Undertaker sits up as Bigelow goes crashing face first into the mat and the crowd goes nuts. The Million Dollar Corporation flee the ring and The Undertaker stalks them. The Corporation all looked shocked and scared and retreat to the back. Undertaker stands near the aisle and does his cut throat motion as his music plays.

WrestleMania Report with Sunny. Just announced for WrestleMania is Sycho Sid vs Savio Vega. Sunny goes over the final card for WrestleMania. We then hear pre recorded comments from Tatanka. Tatanka was looking for revenge on Hunter after what Hunter did to him on Wrestling Challenge. Tatanka vows to shut Hunter up. This Sunday at WrestleMania, Tatanka promises to hand Hunter his first defeat here in the WWF. Sunny says all these great matches make up the greatest card in the history of the WWF and we will also see plenty of celebrities this Sunday at WrestleMania. Pamela Anderson, Jennifer McCarthy, Lawrence Taylor and Salt n Pepa will all be a part of the biggest night of the year known as WrestleMania this Sunday. Sunny can't wait. Double J's music hits so we go back to ringside.



Match 3 | WWF Title Match| Bret Hart (c) vs Jeff Jarrett
Jeff Jarrett made his way down to the ring with The Road Dogg. Bret Hart then came down to a huge ovation. Bret and Jarrett lock up and Bret with a wristlock on Jarrett. Jarrett with a reversal, Jarrett grabs a handful of Bret's hair to take him down. Jarrett starts strutting in the ring, Bret got back up and hammers away at Double J. Jarrett rolls out of the ring. Jarrett gets back in and they lock up again and Bret with a headlock takedown on Jarrett. Jarrett gets back to his feet and Bret sends Jarrett to the ropes and tries a hiptoss, Bret blocks and sends Jarrett down to the mat with a hiptoss. Bret taking it to Jarrett in the early going. Bret went back to the arm until Jarrett pokes Bret in the eyes and whips Bret to the corner and follows up with a reverse elbow. Jarrett puts the boots to Bret and then delivers a dropkick and gets a 2 count. Jarrett with a back suplex and gets a near fall. During the match Razor Ramon came down to do commentary. In less than one week's time we expect to see the greatest WrestleMania of all time. Razor had a hard fought win over Papa Shango earlier on. The King asks Razor what is he doing out here and Razor tells King that he's' here to get a birds eye view of his opponent this Sunday at WrestleMania. Plus he's also going to keep an eye out on The Road Dogg. Razor states that Bret's going in this Sunday for the biggest fight of his life. Jarrett sends Bret hard into the turnbuckle. Jarrett up top and connects with a double axe handle. Jarrett then hits a swinging neckbreaker and Bret kicks out at 2. Lawler tries winding Razor up telling him that this is Razor's biggest match ever, he's under tremendous pressure. If Razor blows this opportunity then it will be a long time before he gets another title shot again because there are several other more deserving contenders than him. Guys like Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart and many more stars deserve it more than guys like Razor and Diesel.

Razor knows that King tried to stir things up on The King's Court two weeks ago but if King doesn't stop running his mouth right now he's going to shut him up. King then stayed quiet. Jarrett sends Bret to the ropes, Bret counters with a sunset flip and gets a 2 count. Jarrett got up and hit a clothesline. Jarrett then goes up top and he's wasting a lot of time here posing. Jarrett going for an axe handle but Bret with a right hand to the gut. Bret with a russian legsweep. Bret then goes on the second rope and hits an elbow drop and gets a 2 count. Bret with an atomic drop followed by a clothesline. The Hitman now with a suplex and gets a 2 count, Bret hits a backbreaker and another near fall. Bret tries going for the sharpshooter, Jarrett manages to block it so Bret drops an elbow drop right in the groin of Double J. Bret then clotheslines Jarrett over the top rope. They fight outside as Razor gets up to make sure Road Dogg doesn't get involved. Jarrett reverses an irish whip and sends Bret right into Razor, oh no. Razor is down. Jarrett sends Bret back in and goes for the figure four leglock. Jarrett locks in the figure four, will Bret submit, Bret hanging in there and Bret manages to reverse the figure four into the sharpshooter. Jarrett screaming in pain and Road Dogg gets in for the save and the referee calls for the bell. Jarrett and Road Dogg beating The Hitman down and Razor gets back up and got in the ring and made the save. Bret and Razor cleaning house as Bret dumps Road Dogg over the top rope and Razor hits a right hand on Double J sending Jarrett to the floor. Bret and Razor bump into each other ready to strike but hesitate when they see each other. They have a staredown and what a showdown it will be between The Hitman and The Bad Guy this Sunday. Vince tells the fans to tune in for WrestleMania XI this Sunday as Raw went off the air.
Winner by disqualification: Bret Hart



WWF Superstars | April 1 | 1995
The Smoking Gunns and The Heavenly Bodies defeated Yokozuna, Hakushi and Eli and Jacob Blu in an 8 man tag team match when Billy Gunn pinned Eli Blu.

We hear pre-recorded comments from Men on a Mission. They explained their actions from last week. Men on a Mission felt that they don't get the respect they deserve around here. As for Oscar all he did was hold them back but now he's history and we won't be seeing him here ever in the WWF. From now on everyone's going to see a new attitude from Men on a Mission.

Jean Pierre Lefite defeated a jobber

We hear pre-recorded comments from The 123 Kid. The 123 Kid was very excited about WrestleMania. The Kid believes that he's going to come out on top when he takes on Jarrett at WrestleMania.

Tatanka defeated Henry Godwinn. During the match Hunter Hearst Helmsley came down to watch the match. Following the match Tatanka stood on the top rope and taunts Helmsley.

The Final WrestleMania report as Sunny runs down the card. We hear comments from Savio Vega. Savio knows he faces a huge challenge this Sunday but in his short time here he's already made an impact. He overcame a huge challenge when he beat the huge King Kong Bundy and now at his first WrestleMania he's going to defeat Sycho Sid.

Owen Hart cut a promo in the ring and did a mock tribute for Mr Bob Backlund as he shows a video of Backlund's greatest moments in the WWF. Owen says the fans will sure miss him after WrestleMania. Owen tells the fans that Bob Backlund used to be a great star but that was many many years ago. Once Backlund left in the 80s, The WWF moved on and infact the WWF became bigger when Backlund left. When Bob came back in 1992 after an eight year absence, it was a completely different new scene for Backlund. Backlund was never the same again. He was a loser, a washed up has been. This is the new Generation and the competition is far more stronger than it was in Backlund's era. Even the wrestlers of the new generation are far more better than the wrestlers of Backlund's era. Owen tells the fans if they think Bob is going to have a great memorable WrestleMania moment then they are stupid to believe that. Owen still thinks he doesn't get enough credit that he deserves around here. Owen reminds the fans that last year nobody believed that he could beat Bret. No one thought he had a chance but he proved everyone wrong and he beat Bret. That launched his career and now at WrestleMania 11, he's gonna end a career. By next year at WrestleMania 12, he'll be headlining WrestleMania as the WWF Champion. Owen says the WWF will easily move on without Backlund. Owen vows to do whatever it takes to keep his Intercontinental title and WrestleMania will be the end of Mr Bob Backlund's career.

Lex Luger and IRS defeated King Kong Bundy and The British Bulldog when IRS put his foot on the ropes and pinned Bundy. Gorilla Monsoon thanks everyone for joining us and tells the fans to tune in for WrestleMania tomorrow. Superstars closes with highlights from WrestleMania X with Razor Ramon winning the ladder match against Shawn Michaels, then later on that night Bret Hart defeated Yokozuna to become champion. Then Razor was among many superstars to celebrate with Bret. What a story this is because now both men will be facing each other at WrestleMania XI.

I keep getting the lingering feeling that the backstage Kliq might end up aligned on-screen at some point. Michaels and Diesel don't seem anywhere close to aligning at the moment but I'm sure those guys would want to be involved in a stable together. The main event with Razor and Bret seems to be the hardest to predict and that's always a good thing. Can't wait to see the results.

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

Great to see this thread growing and blossoming into something nice :) Haven't been following with my tight schedule as much as I'd like to but I do plan on getting a review for Wrestlemania. Best of luck and keep up the good work (Y)


WWF Championship Title Match | Bret Hart (c) vs Razor Ramon
Razor was horribly misused in the WWF, defiantly deserves a run with the belt even if it's a short one. Am a huge fan of Razor :eek: and feel that he can be a wonderful cocky champion.

Diesel vs Shawn Michaels
Hands down no question about it, Nash doesn't need the win or any sort of main event push seeing as chances are the winner of this feud goes on to be number one contender anyway. Shawn/Razor at Summerslam would be epic.

The British Bulldog vs Lex Luger
Just a personal preference, not much insight into it.

No Holds Barred Match | The Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow | Special Enforcer | Rowdy Roddy Piper
Pretty obvious reason, even though his streak was only in it's begining, there is no need to end it anyway and on someone like Bam Bam Bigelow. Seeing as it's No Holds Barred, it'll be close but I see it ending with a Tombstone on a Chair.

Title vs Career | WWF Intercontinental Championship Title Match | Bob Backlund vs Owen Hart (c)
Great idea for a feud to push Owen to the stars. Backlund is decades past his prime and Owen is the future. There is no reason for this to go any other way unless someone is going to interfere, cost Owen the match and feud with him heading into the Summer... but for a Wrestlemania title match to end in a screwy finish isn't a good idea.

The 123 Kid vs Jeff Jarrett

Tag Team Championship Title Match | The Smoking Gunns (c) vs Yokozuna and Hakushi

Tatanka vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Hunter entering the thread with a bang, no reason to end it.

Savio Vega vs Sycho Sid

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

WWF Championship

Bret Hart (c) vs Razor Ramon

Bret wins and why? Because Bret Hart personally he is more of a champion that the WWF can personally promote while with Razor he is the type of champion that the WWF would misuse if he were to become WWF Champion and not to mention Bret is much more skilled in the ring than Razor is while Razor is a brawler, Bret is a technician, 2 contrasting styles and not to mention Bret has made a career of beating people like Razor, that and if I am not mistaken he just won the WWF Championship back not too long ago, so I can't see him losing it just yet but Razor his time will surely come, just not now


Diesel vs Shawn Michaels

Diesel wins this match-up here, you heard it here first and why? Because personally Diesel needs the win more than Shawn does especially since Diesel needs a push in the right direction and not to mention Shawn he is already on his way to the top regardless anyways, so he doesn't really need the win but Diesel does if you ask me


The British Bulldog vs Lex Luger

Personal preference for me too, to tell you the truth, but also because of what I have observed so far in this feud and not to mention Luger is also on his way to the top too


No Holds Barred Match

The Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow (Special Enforcer: Rowdy Roddy Piper)

No way Taker's streak ends and especially doesn't end to someone like Bam Bam Bigelow and since you added the No Holds Barred stipulation to their match, this is going to be a real war, so I expect this match to be another match of the night but ending in a really brutal way with Taker maybe planting Bam Bam with a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel chair with Bam Bam being busted open but Bam Bam taking Taker to the limit but Piper I expect him to get involved because I know the Million Dollar Corporation are going to stick their noses in this match


WWF Intercontinental Championship (Title vs. Career)

Owen Hart (c) vs Bob Backlund

I say Owen Hart will retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship retiring Backlund because Owen needs the win more than Backlund does and not to mention ever since Owen has won the IC Title he has brought prestige back to the title, the title shines more that Owen has it but Owen regardless he is on his way to a great future while Backlund he is way past his prime


Tatanka vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Hunter has just burst on to the scene here in the WWF and not to mention he needs to get all the momentum he can and especially on a big stage such as WrestleMania and not to mention he is destined for greatness while Tatanka he is on a decline and has been for a while


Savio Vega vs Sycho Sid

Sid wins in a landslide, like it is not even close

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

WWF Championship Title Match Bret Hart (c) vs Razor Ramon:
Two of the greatest superstars of all time going at it at the biggest stage of them all. I'm a fan of both of these wrestlers but I got to go with The Bad Guy Razor Ramon. Razor Ramon was very misused in the WWF and I think it's time that he finally gets the job done.


Diesel vs Shawn Michaels
-I can see Michaels winning and will set up Michaels/Razor if you happen to give the title to Razor.

The British Bulldog vs Lex Luger

No Holds Barred Match | The Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow | Special Enforcer | Rowdy Roddy Piper
This one's easy I see the Undertaker beating Bam Bam because I don't see someone like Bigelow beating him, since adding the No Holds Barred stipulation I see this match could be a candidate for Match of the Night, but with Bam Bam taking the Undertker to the limit.

Title vs Career | WWF Intercontinental Championship Title Match | Bob Backlund vs Owen Hart (c)
I'm picking Owen Hart to end the career of Bob Backlund because Owen Hart deserves the win and he's been on a roll since winning the Intercontinental Championship.

The 123 Kid vs Jeff Jarrett

Tag Team Championship Title Match | The Smoking Gunns (c) vs Yokozuna and Hakushi

Tatanka vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

my favorite contest on the card for Wrestlemania would definitely have to be The Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow, i say Taker and Bigelow are going to steal the show, after Taker's through with Bigelow, i see Bigelow and Taker's last encounter to be at In Your House, cause the Bigelow/Taker feud has got me very interested,

Would really love to see you completely rewrite history and kill the idea of an Undertaker streak before it even starts.

The 123 Kid vs Jeff Jarrett

Tag Team Championship Title Match | The Smoking Gunns (c) vs Yokozuna and Hakushi

Looks like a solid card, expecting a lot to happen and really, really want to see Razor given a shot as 'The guy' of the company. As said above, would really love for Undertaker to never start building a WM Streak. Should be a good show. :)

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

Hey, I've kind of been following your thread dude, but what I have seen of it has been very good (Y) I'll just leave ya with some Wrestlemania predictions; should be an awesome show. Congrats in the Awards as well bud; recognition truly deserved.

WWF Championship Title Match | Bret Hart (c) vs Razor Ramon

I've never seen Razor booked as a champion before, so I would like him to win this one mainly for that reason. Also, I am a firm believer that the Rumble winner SHOULD go on and win at Wrestlemania; would have kind of nullified the Rumble win if he lost in my eyes. Expecting a great showing from both men.

Diesel vs Shawn Michaels

I'm going to go ahead and assume that whoever wins this match will become the #1 Contender, and I'd match rather see something between Michaels and Razor than Diesel.

The British Bulldog vs Lex Luger

Being English I can't go against Bulldog here haha

No Holds Barred Match | The Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow | Special Enforcer | Rowdy Roddy Piper

As someone said a few posts back I believe, I think it would be different for Taker to lose here and not build the streak up... but I think if you're going to do that, the loss should be against someone that will be a big part of the future; a younger guy that would be then able to stay at the top for years to come. Maybe HHH at Mania next year? ;)

Title vs Career | WWF Intercontinental Championship Title Match | Bob Backlund vs Owen Hart (c)

The fact that Backlund's career is on the line make the IC Title seem like a massive deal that he'd actually put his career on the line for a chance to win it. But I see Owen winning here and keeping the gold; getting the huge rub from ending a HOF worthy career.

The 123 Kid vs Jeff Jarrett

Tag Team Championship Title Match | The Smoking Gunns (c) vs Yokozuna and Hakushi

Tatanka vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Savio Vega vs Sycho Sid

Looking forward to it bro (Y)

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

Under John King's Wrestlemania XI Review

123 Kid vs Jeff Jarrett: well 123 Kid having Lawrence Taylor was very nice, Kid can hang with the main event stars and certainly the mid-carders in this BTB and a big win over Jeff Jarrett puts him over the rankings of a chance at the Intercontinental Championship, Kid's been getting a lot of big wins in your BTB defeating Doink, Shawn Michaels and Jeff Jarrett, i see you giving Kid a big push, and sure hel'l be in line for the WWF Championship

Sycho Sid vs Savio Vega: it's very difficult to have Savio get a 2-0 record here in the WWF, but now he's in a bit of a bad slump after he lost to Shawn Michaels and here i thought Savio was going to score the big upset over Sid, but i guess i was wrong, very dominant performance by Sid though, i still expect Sid to turn on Shawn in this BTB,

The British Bulldog vs Lex Luger: well you certainly built these two together, Luger hurting The British Bulldog's family and shoving a dollar bill in his mouth also refusing to give his son Harry a million dollars led to this match, Bulldog getting the win i can totally dig that, i think this feud between the two is now over, it's very safe to say, as Luger moves on to another feud, so giving Bulldog the win gives Bulldog more chances against the Million Dollar Corporation

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Tatanka: giving Helmsley a big push against a midcarder is such a huge advantage for him and being Tatanka, a veteran of his caliber could carry the ball with Helmsley, but like always the newcomers get surprising victories, and giving Helmsley a win knocking off the Native American could give him more challengers to contend with,

Owen Hart vs Bob Backlund: great match between the two, and anytime the Intercontinental Championship on the line, you know it's an awesome match, very cool to have Backlund winning his first WWF Title in his entrance, great WM8 ending there, but very sad to see Backlund lose,

Undertaker vs Bam Bam Bigelow: this by far has to be my highlight review of Wrestlemania 11, because a lot of animosity between the two was fueling, similar to real life, Undertaker got the urn back once again and thank goodness Undertaker did not have the urn stolen this time, and very nice for Undertaker to have help, Doink. Papa Shango, IRS and Lex Luger trying to help Bam Bam end The Undertaker's streak worked for Yokozuna when he defeated The Undertaker at the Royal Rumble in 1994 in a Casket Match, but it was nice to have Undertaker have some help, so i expect The Undertaker to unite with The Headshrinkers and King Kong Bundy to take on the Million Dollar Corporation down the line, a tombstone piledriver on the chair certainly put the difference maker in the match, 4-0, Undertaker's streak and the urn is still in his possession, great enforcing by Piper as well, however i do see Undertaker feuding with Luger as well,

Diesel vs Shawn Michaels: well usual entrance with HBK having Jenny Mccarthy, it was very nice having Tunney give the two a shot at becoming the #1 Contendership, but Diesel getting the win is okay, i however on the other hand see Diesel turning heel in this BTB,

Yokozuna and Hakushi vs The Smoking Gunns: Giving Yoko and Hakushi the titles has to spell disaster in the WWF, and a big celebration for the people in Japanese, to have two national stars together in Japanese, well Yokozuna was Samoa in real life, but however Yokozuna and Hakushi could be a dominant force to work with now that they are under the tuloge of Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette, so rest of the tag teams should watch out for them

Razor Ramon vs Bret Hart: the big one i think these fans couldn't pick a winner, but they knew they were sensing a title change and with Pamela Anderson in the Bad Guy's corner, you couldn't have a nicer moment with Razor Ramon though as he is the bad guy accompany him to the ring, and i know Razor's a face no doubt, but a great match between the two of them, i mean you have the Sharpshooter vs Razor's Edge, and it was kinda like similar to their 1993 contest they had at the Royal Rumble, but with the finish of Razor hitting the Razor's Edge, the fans knew they were going to see a new WWF Champion and Razor delivered, i knew Razor was going to win that belt, also great moment between the superstars congratulate Razor and the handshake before the celebration, i see Razor hanging on to the belt for a very long time, since he is the champion, he's goig to have a lot of contention to deal with

Re: WWF 1995: The New Generation

Opening contest with The 123 Kid and Jeff Jarrett I thought was definitely entertaining to say the least and especially because of LT being in his corner, the media coverage and exposure this match got made it all the more worthwhile and The Kid ultimately coming out on top in this match makes it all the more better because The Kid can definitely hang with the main eventers here and I can definitely see that The Kid is in for a push, and if he is, then perhaps he could have a run with the Intercontinental Championship maybe in his future but as for Jeff Jarrett he is going to have to pick himself back up again and hopefully recover from this loss in which I think he will

Sid dominating Savio Vega in convincing fashion just goes to show you that Sycho Sid is destined for greatness already and I for one expect him to turn on Shawn Michaels at some point because I feel Sid he doesn't have to lower himself to being Shawn's bodyguard much less anyone's bodyguard but as for Savio Vega, he represents the new generation so I say he will recover from this loss but as for Sid I expect his push to begin right after Mania is said and done

Bulldog finally getting the win when it matters the most by beating Luger with his family in attendance, I definitely loved it because this feud was just so personal and I loved that Bulldog's son Harry young D.H. Smith himself was in attendance to see his dad beat Luger, and then Harry also being at WrestleMania because of his uncles Bret and Owen and when asked, which uncle he would cheer on, he obviously chose Bret probably because Bret is his favorite uncle and Owen is his least favorite uncle LOL, but as for Luger now that he is not feuding with Bulldog, he can move on to a fresher feud with another superstar but personally Luger I feel that he doesn't really even need to be in the Million Dollar Corporation anymore and the best thing he could do at this point would be to leave the Corporation

Hunter Hearst Helmsley in his first WrestleMania defeats Tatanka in what I thought was a great match because now Hunter he is definitely destined for greatness here and he is definitely going to be a star here in the WWF, the new generation is what it's all about but as for Tatanka, I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave WWF after this because at this point to me anyway he is just done

Owen Hart ends the career of Mr. Backlund aka Bob Backlund by retaining his Intercontinental Championship against him in what I thought was a great match but now that Backlund is retired, I don't see him leaving the WWF now, I can see him sticking around but in a managerial role becoming someone's manager while Owen I can definitely see him stepping up to becoming a main eventer by the end of this year of 1995 heading into 1996

Undertaker becomes 4-0 at WrestleMania by beating Bam Bam Bigelow in No Holds Barred to take his streak to 4-0, definitely loved it, but at the same time I knew the Million Dollar Corporation were going to interfere in the match, like it was so obvious and so predictable because that just goes to show you that Bam Bam can't win a match without them trying to get involved to help him but I loved how Undertaker also had help in this match by The Headshrinkers and King Kong Bundy of all people to help him out especially since the Corporation they turned on Bundy, but I loved the spot with Undertaker giving Bam Bam a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel chair, so brutal but definitely effective nonetheless, I wouldn't be surprised if Undertaker put Bam Bam on the shelf injuring him but I can definitely see a Luger/Taker feud especially now but I loved Piper during this match also as enforcer

Diesel vs Shawn Michaels, loved this match-up the most by far and I knew McCarthy she would accompany Shawn to the ring along with Sycho Sid, but nevertheless this match was to determine just who would be the next #1 Contender for the WWF Championship and I loved this match because it was just so back and forth and it was really anyone's contest but in the end Big Daddy comes out with the win becoming #1 Contender in the process which means he will face whoever the WWF Champion is at probably the next pay per view but as for Shawn Michaels, I really hope he turns face soon but as for Diesel I can see a heel turn at some point

Yokozuna and Hakushi becoming the new WWF Tag Team Champions by beating The Smoking Gunns in what I thought was a great tag team match, because now that they are the WWF Tag Team Champions, I believe no tag team can beat them for those titles especially now that they have Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette in their corner but also because they are just so dynamic as a tag team, really big celebration for the Japanese people right now that's for sure while The Smoking Gunns I see them getting their re-match cashing in their rematch clause but ultimately failing

Razor Ramon becoming the new WWF Champion beating Bret "The Hitman" Hart in what I thought was the Match of the Night by far, the main event that closes out the show and it definitely shows me just why they deserved to close out the show because they tore the house down but at the same time I loved the fact that Pamela Anderson came down to the ring with Razor and she celebrates with him after the match is over along with other superstars and celebrities while Bret is sulking after his loss, I wouldn't be surprised if Bret were to turn heel as a result of this loss and I for one think he will costing Razor the belt at some point but for now I see Bret going away for a while taking a break and then making his return around SummerSlam 1995 but as for Razor I don't see him holding the title for long, I see him holding it until June at best and then losing it

Great WrestleMania 11, I loved it
