After the show opening theme and pyro...we go to MICHAEL COLE and CRIS CRUISE at ringside!
COLE:" Fans,welcome to RAW and tonight is the night! We have 4 big WWF debuts here tonight and to top everything off,we will have the finals of the TV Title tournament and it promises to be a tough one as OLE ANDERSON vs DR.D DAVID SHULTZ!"
CRUISE:" That's right MICHAEL ! And we are also going to hear from WWF owner VINCE McMAHON will be here in a taped interview with his thoughts on the big PARADE OF CHAMPIONS event that recently took place!"
COLE:" With that being said,we here at the WWF would like to congratulate HULK HOGAN for becoming the first IWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION !
And also congrats go out to the first ever IWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE UNDISPUTED ERA! That ending to the battle royal will be talked about for years !
But now it's time to go to the ring for our first match !
1ST MATCH- TERRY FUNK vs TONY GAREA
FUNK is known worldwide as a bit of a crazy man and he definitely shows it here in his debut!
Now GAREA does frustrate FUNK at times early on and even has the FUNKSTER bailing outta the ring a few times to gather his thoughts !
But in the end,the man from the Double Cross Ranch wears GAREA down and actually gets a submission win from the Spinning Toe Hold!
The crowd reaction is kind of split as they seem to be just trying to figure out what side of the fence is FUNK actually on!
2ND MATCH- THE DUDLEY BOYZ( DEVON/BUBBA RAY) vs TONY ZANE/GEORGE SOUTH
Another debut here as the DUDLEYS are here in the WWF!
And they do not disappoint !
ZANE/SOUTH do their best but the DUDLEYS are just too damn big and experienced!
The DUDLEYS hit the Dudley Death Drop on SOUTH and get the pinfall as the crowd pops huge for them !
Up next MICHAEL COLE intros a VTR from WWF Owner-VINCE McMAHON !
VINCE McMAHON:" Ladies and gentleman,I wanted to take just s few minutes of your time to discuss a few things!
First and foremost ,i would like to congratulate all of the first IWA WORLD CHAMPIONS that were crowned recently!
First of all you have the sensation from the orient in ASUKA! Her in ring acumen is literally second to none! Combine that with her tenacity and I forsee a very long title reign for her!
Next we have the UNDISPUTED ERA!
Now, they may have actualy had the hardest road to the title as the match they won the tag titles in was definitely a very unique one!
But,that ,of course, is not the norm !
The WWF's tag team division is second to none and with the recent addition of THE DUDLEY BOYS i'd say that sooner rather that later that any one of our tag teams will be wearing those world championships!
Now on to the big boy...HULK HOGAN !
HOGAN..it took one hell of an effort,and in your case, a lot of luck to come out on top in that tournament!
Now rest assured that although what's done is done,we here at the WWF have no doubt that the officiating in that tournament,especially in matches involving WWF talent was, shall we say, a bit questionable!
I even went to the extreme of brokering a deal MID TOURNAMENT to aqquire the services of one CURT HENNING and after dominating his first round match up with relative ease...as soon as he became a representative of the WWF,it all of a sudden seemed that he was facing two men in that ring !
I mean,come on...ADAM COLE,who is literally half the size of SID VICIOUS, actually got a pinfall over big SID??
You can not honestly tell me that there wasn't something fishy going on there!
But,rest assured,that we will get to the bottom of this!
But let's move on to some happier news!
I would like to announce that due to the overwhelming sucess of the POC,the IWA has announce the POC tour!
Every member will be having their own POC Super Show,if you will,and the WWF is happy to announce that on August 21st,in an arena yet to be determined,we will be presenting our own POC extravaganza only on PPV!
In the upcoming weeks i will be announcing more information on the match ups that will take place !
But what i can tell the fans of the WWF is that we are in negotiations to sign both the new IWA HEAVYWEIGHT and TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS for that show!
So stay tuned and let's get back to some more in ring action!
Thank you for your time!"
3rd MATCH- EDDIE GILBERT vs BARRY HOROWITZ
GILBERT exhudes cockiness as he struts to the ring and the fans instantly hate him !
Unfortunately his in ring skill is on point and GILBERT dominates and eventually hits the Sling shot suplex to get the pin!
4TH MATCH- THE SHEEPHERDERS(LUKE/BUTCH) vs THE MULKEYS
YEP ! Exactly what you would expect!
Brutal...violent!! It wasn't pretty!
But when the HERDERS were done having their fun,a sling blade from LUKE on RANDY not onlyn surprised the fans but it ended the match as he got the pin!
5TH MATCH- MAIN EVENT
WWF TV TITLE CHAMPIONSHIP
OLE ANDERSON vs DAVID SHULTZ!
This is a slobber knocker from the get go and the fans are eating it up!
At one point OLE works over SHULTZ'S right arm ! Most likely to take away one of DR. D'S favorite moves-the top rope fist drop which usually follows the piledriver!
SHULTZ eventually breaks free but is definitely showing the effects of it!
These two eventually are slugging it out and you guessed it...REF BUMP!
But these two bad asses keep on going !
They know that checking on the ref usually comes back and bites ya in the ass!
OLE actually posts SHULTZ as they fight outside the ring !
He then tosses the dazed SHULTZ back in the ring,and OLE grabs a chair and enters the ring as well!
As SHULTZ gets to his feet,OLE holds the chair over his head but before he can bring it down on SHULTZ'S head,SHULTZ kicks him in the gut which doubles OLE over and causes him to drop the chair!
SHULTZ picks it up and cracks OLE across the back !
SHULTZ picks up OLE and hits the piledriver!
The ref is starting to stir but has his back to all the action!
Even with his hurt arm,SHULTZ climbs to the top turnbuckle to deliver his top rope fist drop!
But the crowd screams out warnings to DR. D but to no avail as he is attacked from behind and pushed off the tope rope by...STAN HANSEN!!
SHULTZ hits the canvas hard,OLE is now up and helping the ref get up BUT keeping the ref's attention away from what's happening in the ring !
HANSEN picks up the stuned SHULTZ,shoots him into the ropes and as he rebounds,catches him with the lariat !!
HANSEN quickly leaves the ring and heads out thru the crow as OLE finally turns the ref toward where the prone SHULTZ is laying !
OLE covers SHULTZ and the ref,who is a bit dazed still and has seen none of HANSEN'S actions,has no choice but to make the three count !
The ref is handed the TV TITLE and presents it to YOUR winner and the FIRST WWF TV CHAMPION-OLE ANDERSON !
The crowd is booing and throwing things in the ring as OLE ANDERSON proudly holds up his belt and soaks it all in !
END OF SHOW!
