Let's see how this compares to Nitro, shall we?

___________________

Rick Rude comes out, and wants everyone to shut up. I thought he was going to launch into the old routine. Similar, but instead of taking his robe off, he just asked everyone to be quiet. He cracks a few insurance jokes, and leaves. He sells insurance to all.

Owen Hart and The British Bulldog will face The Legion of Doom in our first match.

- Slaughter and Shawn Michaels were arguing in the back prior to this...

- At about the four minute mark, Animal tags in, and the Godwinns head down to the ring. One of them hits Animal with a slop bucket, and Owen pins Animal for the win at 4:58. *3/4. After the bout, all three teams fight. Nothing was solved.

Mankind has some comments about Taker...he still hasn't forgotten their feud not so long ago.

Shawn Michaels says that he's mad about the WWF, then we've got

___________________

Sunny to the ring, to introduce Brian Christopher vs. Flash Funk.

- Both Christopher and Funk had some recorded comments. Christopher wanted to face a heavyweight after his disappointing loss to Taka Michinoku. Vince's comments that try to put Flash over are hilarious. "Oh he's so funky." Picture it. Lawler wants his son to give Funk a piledriver, but his words distract Christopher, leading to a Funk 450 splash for the victory at 3:41. **.

Taker comments on Shawn, and then says that Mankind had better stay in line. Well, he's right.

The Sultan w/The Iron Sheik is up against Ken Shamrock.

- Shamrock is quite popular. Sheik jumps up on the apron and is given a belly-to-belly suplex. Shamrock rana's Sultan, slaps on the ANKLE LOCK, and Sultan taps out at 3:16. *1/2. Dominant performance.

The Nation of Domination comes down for an interview...Faarooq first. He says that Ahmed Johnson is a white man. No shit. He said that Ahmed couldn't be white if they sandblasted his ass. Very harsh. Just kidding about the "no shit" comment in regards to Ahmed being white. Rocky's got the microphone now, and calls the Disciples of Apocalypse a bunch of racists. Well, the Harris Brothers are part of the faction. I'd call it likely. It's a good heat promo from Rocky too. Calls the fans jackasses and that sort of thing, until DOA pop up on the TitanTron. They're there to kick ass. Come on down to the parking lot and they'll fight.

After HHH cuts a promo, they do fight. Until Los Boricuas take DOA's choppers. LOL.

Jesse Jammes vs. Brian Pillman in a dress...

- Funny dress, this one. I don't like this angle anymore. Goldust comes out and elbowdrops Jammes, which leads to Pillman getting DQ'd at 1:47. Good finish. That should happen in all "you must ________ if you lose" matches.

- Afterward, Pillman says that he'll leave if Goldust can beat him. Well! But, if Pillman beats Goldust, Marlena has to be Pillman's personal assistant for thirty days. Goldust declines, but Pillman says that Dakota is his lovechild. Goldust runs to the ring to beat Pillman up, but can't get to him. Marlena accepts Pillman's challenge, and Goldust ain't too happy about it.

Vader cuts a promo, and now that the Warzone has begun, it's TIME. Vader's facing the Patriot.

- Bret comes down the aisle, just to stand there. Don't like the way they use Vader, jobbing him out, I mean. Bret being out to watch sucks all the heat out of the match. Or maybe this is the Atlantic City crowd. We'll see. Full nelson slam gets the win for the Patriot at 4:56. Good win for him. **.

Vader knocks the Patriot off the apron, and beats him up on the inside. He's going to give Patriot a VADER BOMB, but Bret places the Canadian flag on Patriot. That pissed Vader off pretty bad. Vader breaks the Canadian flag, then he and Bret fight. Patriot won't let Vader get beat up, either. Go Vader!

___________________

Bret cuts a promo in the back, says that Vader's next after the Patriot. Well, go figure.

Steve Austin had a great sit down interview with Jim Ross in which he talked about his neck injury. Great. Great. Great.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels w/Chyna are now going to face The Undertaker and Mankind in the main event...

- Shawn's interaction with Chyna prior to the match was funny. Think it's kinda funny that WWF and WCW ran two big tag matches on the same night.

- All these dudes are still involved with the company. BUT TAKER RETIURD!1!11!1

- Before the commercial, Rick Rude came out. Good. Total brawl in front of a not heated AC crowd, Rude distracts, which leads to HHH being given a chokeslam by Taker. Shawn hits Taker in the head with a chair for the DQ at 8:31, and Taker blades. Again in the head, then Taker sits up, and the future DX leaves. All over. **3/4.

___________________

Rating: Great. Angles were really top notch, and wrestling was okay for TV. However, crowd sucked a fat one.

Best Segment: I liked when Vader kicked Bret's ass.

Worst Segment: Pillman in a dress.

RAW wins this time, by far. Next I'll review Vengeance 2007.
