Welcome back to another edition of RAW vs Nitro. Click here to read the last one if you missed it. So let's get into it, this is RAW vs Nitro #32.
RAW
- Zip with Skip vs Ahmed Johnson-Before the match, Jim Ross tries to interview Johnson before Sunny saves us from having to hear Johnson speak for too long. She just starts rubbing baby oil on his pec like as soon as she walks up.Johnson gives the exact reaction you'd give if someone just walked up and started rubbing your man boob...or regular boob, we don't discriminate here at the Wrestling Section #feminism. Sunny says Johnson missed a spot, but Johnson calls her trash. The two lock up before Zip flips out of a back suplex, only for Johnson to clothesline him to the ground. Suddenly, Sunny runs out and yells at Johnson. This also distracts the referee, allowing Skip to switch places with Zip. Skip takes the fight right to Johnson and locks in a camel clutch. However, Johnson is able to stand up and hit an electric chair drop. Skip dodges an elbow drop, only to get back body dropped out of the ring. Zip gets in the ring to distract the referee, allowing Skip to try to blindside him. However, Johnson catches Skip with a spinebuster before hitting the Pearl River Plunge for the win. This was enjoyable enough.
- We get an out-of-facepaint Ultimate Warrior shilling his wrestling school, Warrior University.Because if there's anyone you want to learn wrestling from, it's the guy who did about four or five moves his entire career. He says at his school. you can turn your fantasy into a reality.
- Vader vs Duke Droese-Instead of being in Vader's corner, Jim Cornette takes a seat at commentary and says Vader vs Yokozuna at In Your House: Beware of Dog will be like two tanks going at it; Vader, the Sherman tank, and Yokozuna, the septic tank. That was great. Vader batters Droese in the corner until Droese hits a big boot. Droese floors Vader with a clothesline before taking Vader & himself out of the ring with a crossbody. After a commercial break, we come back to see Vader hit a clothesline in the ring. Vader follows up with a splash before beating Droese in the corner. Vader controls the match until Droese hits a jawbreaker. Droese tries to knock Vader off his feet with clotheslines before finally accomplishing the feet with a dropkick. Droese blatantly headbutts Vader in the dick (no DQ) and goes to the top rope, but Vader dodges the diving top rope splash. Vader picks up Droese and body slams Droese by the ropes and finishes Droese off with the Vader Bomb. Fine match, nothing special.
- Outcomes the Undertaker & Paul Bearer with the gold casket. Vince McMahon leaves the commentary booth to interview the two. Bearer says Goldust loves the spotlight, but he'll be crossing over to the dark side at In Your House. Taker says that when it comes to being bizarre, Goldust is nothing compared to him & Bearer. Suddenly, Goldust & Marlena come to the ring. He lusts over Taker while making a bunch of sexual innuendos. He grabs Taker's hands, but Taker starts to overpower him. This is interrupted by Mankind, who runs down and applies the Mandible Claw to Taker. Goldust pins Taker down after Mankind leaves and rubs all over him before Taker sits up. Goldust sprints to the back as Undertaker walks to the back after him.
- Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw with Uncle Zebekiah vs Aldo Montoya-Montoya uses his speed to his advantage until Bradshaw catches Montoya off a crossbody and body slams him. Zebekiah takes a seat at commentary and says several wrestlers, including Shawn Michaels, are afraid to wrestle Bradshaw. Bradshaw dominates the match until Montoya hits two dropkicks and a missile dropkick. However, Bradshaw cuts off Montoya with a big boot before hitting a clothesline (not yet from Hell) for the win. Nothing match. Afterward, Zebekiah gives Montoya an ink brand.
- We get a clip from the WWF's tour in Kuwait, where Shawn Michaels gets attacked at the beach by the British Bulldog and his striped spanx.Bulldog throws Michaels into the water and tries to drown him. He keeps yelling stuff at him, but with all the sound of the waves and his super thick accent, you can't understand a word he's saying.
- Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Shawn Michaels with Jose Lothario-The two go back and forth, with Helmsley getting the better of Michaels. This prompts Michaels to take his hair tie out and let his hair down. I can only assume this is his version turning his hat backward like in Over the Top. After a commercial break, we see another back and forth before Michaels takes Helmsley down and walks on his back. Michaels floors Helmsley with a punch before hitting a hip toss and clotheslining him over the top rope. Michaels walks over the commentary table to flirt with Helmsley's lady friend before decking Helmsley again. Back in the ring, Michaels drops Helmsley on the mat face first before ramming Helmsley into the turnbuckle. Michaels controls the match until Helmsley dodges Michaels in the corner and kicks Michaels out of the ring. Helmsley follows up with a baseball slide before Mr. Perfect comes down to the ring. Michaels avoids a second baseball slide, only for Helmsley to drop Michaels onto the guardrail before the commercial break. We come back to see Helmsley get a near fall. Helmsley beats down Michaels in the corner before hitting a high knee for a near fall. Helmsley controls the match until Michaels turns over on a back suplex and lands on Helmsley for a near fall. Helmsley responds with uppercuts until Michaels turns one into a backslide for a near fall. Helmsley then floors Michaels with a clothesline before viciously beating down Michaels in the corner. Helmsley controls the match as we go to a third commercial break. We come back to Helmsley working over Michaels with a side headlock. Michaels is able to fight to his feet and starts to beat down on Helmsley in the corner. Helmsley goes for the Pedigree, but Michaels blocks it and slingshots Helmsley into the corner. Michaels follows up with an inverted atomic drop and a flying forearm before hitting a top rope elbow drop for a near fall. Helmsley goes for a powerbomb, but Michaels counters it with a hurricanrana, only for Helmsley to roll through for a near fall. Helmsley goes for the Pedigree again, but Michaels powers out and hits a back body drop before hitting Sweet Chin Music for the win. Fine match, if anything it went too long.
- Right after the match, we go to Jim Ross interviewing the British Bulldog. He says if Shawn Michaels comes down to ringside next week during his match against Jake Roberts then he won't make it to In Your House. He also says he's not afraid of snakes and he'll beat Roberts next week.
Nitro
- If you read the last RAW vs Nitro, you'd know that Lex Luger missed his title shot against the Giant last week. He also missed one on WCW Saturday Night. So this week, so he definitely didn't miss his title shot this week, he camped out in front of the arena.
- The Steiner Brothers vs The Public Enemy-Scott & Rock start off going back and forth before Scott gorilla presses Rock and throws him into Grunge. Rick runs in for a double clothesline the Public Enemy to the outside. Rick & Grunge tag in before Rick catches Grunge for a belly-to-belly slam and an elbow drop. Scott tags in for a belly-to-belly suplex before both teams start to brawl to the outside before Rock takes out Scott. Rock bodyslams Rick and goes to the top rope, but Rick hits the ropes, causing Rock to get crotched on the top rope. Rick follows up with a suplex before tagging in Scott for a tilt-a-whirl slam. Scott sets up Rock on the top rope, but Grunge runs in and plants Scott with an electric chair drop. Rock follows that up with a diving headbutt before tagging in Grunge. Public Enemy controls the match until Scott dodges a senton bomb from Rock. Rick gets the tag and runs wild, hitting belly-to-belly suplexes on both men before taking the fight to the outside. Grunge holds Rick in place for a somersault senton, only for Rick to dodge it, sending Rock into Grunge. Rick throws Grunge back into the ring and into a Frankensteiner from Scott for the win. Pretty good match.
- Dave Taylor with Jeeves vs Chris Benoit-You might remember Dave Taylor from his brief run in the WWE with William Regal...you probably don't remember that, actually. The two lock up and fight around the ring before breaking the holds. Benoit gets the better of their next exchange before hitting a step-up enziguri. Taylor responds with uppercuts before stomping on Benoit's face. Benoit floors Taylor with a back elbow before slingshotting Taylor into the corner. Taylor responds with an uppercut that sends Benoit out of the ring before hitting a double axe handle off the apron. Taylor beats down Benoit at ringside before re-entering the ring. Benoit follows him and throws Taylor into the corner. Benoit goes to the top rope, but Taylor catches him and hits an electric chair drop. Taylor hits a fallaway slam for a near fall, but Benoit dodges a corner crossbody and hits the dragon suplex for the win. Pretty good, quick match.
- Outside the arena, security blocks Randy Savage from getting in. Mongo comes out and says he sympathizes with Savage before telling Ric Flair to stop messing with his family. Mean Gene tells Savage he has lost his mind, so Savage says some crazy stuff. He says he doesn't care about his fine and on the topic of having to team with Flair at Slamboree, he says he doesn't care if has to drag Flair's body to the ring.
- GLACIER VIGNETTE!
- V.K. Wallstreet vs Ric Flair with Woman & Miss Elizabeth-The two lock up before Wallstreet floors Flair with a shoulder tackle. The two trade holds before exchanging chops. Wallstreet hits a hip toss followed by a back body drop, which prompts Flair to leave the ring. Back in the ring, Wallstreet continues to control the match before the commercial break. Ric Flair is having WAY too much trouble with this guy. We come back to see Wallstreet throw Flair over the top rope to the outside. Wallstreet beats down Flair before going back in the ring. Flair goes to the top rope, but Wallstreet throws him to mat and back body drops him. Wallstreet follows up with a Samoan Drop and makes the cover, but Flair gets his foot on the ropes. Flair throws Wallstreet out of the ring, but Wallstreet comes back with a sunset flip for a near fall. Wallstreet follows up with a near fall off a backslide before clotheslining Flair out of the ring. Wallstreet follows him out and goes for a high knee on Flair, who was leaning against the ring post. However, Flair dodges it, sending Wallstreet knee first into the ring post. Flair locks in the figure four in the ring while Woman provides extra leverage for the win. Everything except the ending of this was sh*t. Flair shouldn't struggle this much to beat V.K. Wallstreet, and he definitely shouldn't have to cheat to beat Wallstreet. After the match, Flair walks over to his table at the side of the ramp, where Mean Gene interviews him. He says nothing important.
- The Giant (c) with Jimmy Hart vs Lex Luger-WCW World Heavyweight Championship-For real this time. The two stare eachother down before the Giant shoves Luger. Luger tries to knock the Giant off his feet, but the Giant stands tall. Luger tries to bodyslam the Giant, but he's too big and the Giant throws Luger out of the ring.

Sting runs down to help Luger as Hart tries to calm down the Giant.
