WWE Royal Rumble Raw: February 3 1997

Wrasslin" Raw ·

2022/11/28

There will be no bait and switch here! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys ease into the beginnings of Monday Night Raw’s two-hour format with Royal Rumble Raw. Promises were made that we would see the Royal Rumble match, and show-stopping matches featuring Crush and Marc Mero make a Rumble Replay so much more desirable. There’s a rare glimpse at the house show circuit, an even rarer glimpse of legitimate tag team action, and a superstar-packed main event. How’s that for a taint tickler?

They gave up on LiveWire! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys watch the last 1-hour episode of Monday Night Raw. The match quality is a little unsteady, but many superstars get to shine: Crush delivers a heart punch to Ahmed Johnson’s chin, Savio Vega joins the Nation of Domination, and Henry Godwin is a consistent asskicker. On the other hand, Vader gets completely ignored in a meeting of the superstars, and Furnas & LaFon are officially jobbers now. It’s over Johnny!

Sick a’ gettin’ screwed! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys sit down to talk about the fallout of the Royal Rumble, and a very strong episode of Monday Night Raw. Owen Hart and the British Bulldog take on Furnas & LaFon, Farooq dominates Bart Gunn, and the Undertaker is in the Main Event. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret Hart both flex their promo muscles, and Vader keeps leadassing those chokeslams. Vince McMahon is gone for most of this episode, and it’s fantastic!

WWE: Royal Rumble 1997

2022/11/07

Mr. Hughes is back, and he’s useless! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys examine the 1997 Royal Rumble. Matches featuring Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Goldust, Ahmed Johnson, and Farooq keep this Pay Per View moving, while Vader continues his current trajectory against the Undertaker. The Royal Rumble ended up being a lot stronger than predicted on the strength of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the AAA match on the card lived up to its promise. Tell me again why Jose Lothario is here?

What was that sound? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys take a look at the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into the 1997 Royal Rumble. Matches featuring Marc Mero, Jerry Lawler, the Undertaker, and Crush all round out a sub-par Raw that does nothing to get anyone ready for the Rumble. Rocky Maivia and the British Bulldog have a great match, while the Hart brothers and Stone Cold Steve Austin rise to a new level of storytelling. Let’s take one more look at Shawn Michaels!

Welcome everyone to 1997! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys ease into 1997 like an old man easing into a warm bath. Owen Hart and Mankind help to smooth the way, but Furnas and LaFon taking on Fake Razor and Fake Diesel settles things back into reality. The debut of Shotgun Saturday night got interesting when Marlena flashed the crowd, Shawn Michaels continues to dig at Bret Hart whenever he can, and Vader shows up for his match and DOGS IT. Stop shitting up the place!

2022/10/17

That’s it folks, we’re done with this one! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys take a look back at 1996, and talk about what the World Wrestling Federation served up for its viewers. Match of the Year candidates feature Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Mankind, Savio Vega, and Diesel; the President of the Carpenter’s Union gives us the Jobber of the Year, and Joe brings us some interesting award winners from the year.

What the hell is Ahmed wearing? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys take a look at the final episode of Monday Night Raw that aired in 1996. Superstar power is in abundance here, with matches featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Bret “the Hitman” Hart, and “The Real Double J” Jesse James. Shawn Michaels delivers a sharp promo, Jerry Lawler continues to insult Tiny Tim weeks after his death, and Vince defends the freaks of the world. HE’S SO FUNKY!

Who’s ready to do some GUSHING? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys discuss an episode of Monday Night Raw that failed within the first three seconds of airtime. Monday Night Mero continues while we could have watched Benoit vs. Guerrero on Nitro, the WWF/AAA collaboration bears terrible fruit, Rocky Maivia fails to bring the electricity to his match, and Bret Hart is mortally insulted at the end of the night. The odd positioning of our legs indicates that we fell asleep while watching!

SPECIAL SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the fates have conspired to deliver a two-man booth, so the Year End update and the episode the boys got subjected to are a man down. That doesn’t stop the talk about Steve Austin and Vader, a Jobber of the Week with a familiar masked face, and some serious questions about pretending like Sunny never happened. Are we back around to “worked concussion” again?

WWE In Your House: It's Time

Wrasslin" Raw ·

2022/09/12

It's not just the Executioner going downhill! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys put aside their reservations and sit down to examine In Your House 12: It's Time. This Pay Per View has matches featuring Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, a tag team championship match featuring Fake Razor and Fake Diesel, and Bret Hart taking on Psycho Sid for the championship. We also get a surprise ECW match, or at least something that looks like one!

Wait, the Undertaker is taking on who at the Pay Per View? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys wince at the go-home Monday Night Raw, leading into the In Your House: It’s Time Pay Per View. The Handicap Match between the “Real Double J” Jesse James, Justin Bradshaw, and Uncle Zebekiah doesn’t get any pops, but Goldust and Bart Gunn were serviceable. Who’s looking forward to that upcoming tag team titles match?

SHAKE THE BOOTY! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys bear witness to a particularly poor episode of Monday Night Raw. Flash Funk gets pyro, Shawn Michaels has an apology to present to everyone, and The Goon is here to ruin everyone’s good time. That trend continues with Fake Diesel, Jake “the Snake” Roberts, and the Mildman Marc Mero. Some confusing events happened last Wednesday in London, but it’s very clear that Tiny Tim has passed away and Jerry Lawler loves it. “I like my ukulele!”

Lou Albano, out of nowhere! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get ongoing updates from Doc Hendrix that don’t really update anything at all. Rocky Maivia gets a chance to work a solo match, Bret “the Hitman” Hart and Owen Hart give us a great show opener, and Sunny continues to evolve into a sexual predator. Ryan gets to present a Jobber of the Week, and Vince McMahon gets to lead Shawn Michaels through another interview. This is all Jose Lothario’s fault!

How many times can the Executioner ruin a finish? In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys have to ask the hard questions: Can Jose Lothario, in FULL CARDIAC ARREST, refuse medical attention? What do PG-13 really bring to the table in the Nation of Domination? What’s it going to take for Ryan to give Bob Holly the Jobber of the Week title? The answers to these questions and the results of the 1996 Presidential election are on an all-new episode this week!

He’s no clown, he’s no garbage man- he’s a wrestler! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get treated to Survivor Series 1996, and one of the best in-ring matches to grace our screens: Bret “the Hitman” Hart versus “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. The Undertaker debuts his new Batman look, the championship changes hands, a young Rocky Maivia pulls an Elimination Match out of the dumpster, and the flashy, funky Flash Funk makes a great debut in a dud match. WE ARE THE NATION OF DOMINATION!

Sunglasses and sparklers- what a load of crap! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys examine the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw, leading into Survivor Series 1996. Mankind keeps us moving forward, despite the Executioner tied around his ankle, and the championship scene is mostly falling flat; however, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret Hart are putting asses every 18 inches with the lead-in to their match. Earl Hebner is a wiener!

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys view one of the most notorious and influential episodes in wrasslin’ history- Pillman’s Got a Gun! Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian Pillman take storytelling to the next level, while the Sultan and Alex “the Pug” Porteau take jobbing to the next level. The Wildman Marc Mero and Fake Razor have a terrible match, and we get to see everyone giving up on the Stalker’s gimmick at the same time. Join Team Pug!

Is that double J Jeff Jarrett? No, it’s the real Double J, Jesse James! In this episode of Wrasslin’ Raw, the boys get the debut of the repackaged Roadie! Aldo Montoya still gets pyro when he takes on Crush, Billy Gunn goes up against Freddie Joe Floyd, and Shawn Michaels battles the British Bulldog. Sal Sincere attempts to class up the joint, but we get news that there may be some serious trouble brewing between Brian Pillman and Stone Cold Steve Austin- stay tuned for more details!

Where's the SUUU-EEEE McMahon? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys view the fallout from the Buried Alive Pay Per View. Henry Godwin continues to get overlooked, Earl Hebner continues to build his stats, and it took three years for Vince McMahon Sr. to achieve Hall of Fame status. Bret Hart returns to provide an amazing interview, and kicks off an amazing feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. It's been a PERFECT hoax!
