Problems are surfacing between Eric Bischoff, Kevin Sullivan, and Hulk Hogan over Hogan changing the main event at Uncensored from a one-on-four or two-on-four Steel Cage match to this ridiculous two-on-eight four Steel Cage match. Hogan does have "creative control" in his contract and can do whatever he wants in his matches and create his own matches.
Hogan brings in more of his buddies to be a part of the main event "Doomsday Cage" match. Tom Lister Jr. known as "Zeus" in the 1989 movie "No Holds Barred" starring with Hulk Hogan as well as a brief period with Hogan in the WWF in 1989. Since the WWF owns the rights to the name Zeus, Lister will be known as "Ze Gangsta."
There is also a large muscular guy (Jeep Swenson) named "The Final Solution" who will also be a part of the match as well. Jewish executives over at Turner Broadcasting were livid over the name Final Solution since its a reference to Adolf Hitler exterminating the Jews in Germany in the 1930s and 40s so the name was changed to "The Ultimate Solution."
Other buddies who fought with Hogan in the WWF such as One Man Gang and John Tenta (Shark) are also mentioned to be part of the match with Brian Pillman being a real long shot to be in the match as well as Hogan is pushing for his WCW return. Hogan and Randy Savage have been said to be opposed to WCW bringing in both Scott Hall and Kevin Nash causing more friction in the front office.
The WWF's house shows are doing very well that March 17th's house show at Madison Square Garden was the first non-PPV sellout (nearly 17,000) at The Garden in many years and that it set a record for the highest-drawing gate at a house show all-time of nearly $300,000.
The main event featured Bret Hart and The Undertaker taking on Shawn Michaels and Diesel with Diesel fully turning heel by attacking everyone, including his friend Michaels, with a steel chair. This sets up a story after WrestleMania where Diesel takes on Michaels for the WWF Title before he leaves for WCW.
There will be a house show at MSG scheduled for Sunday, May 19 the same night as the WCW PPV Slamboree, from Baton Rouge, LA where Slamboree will be featuring the lame Battle Bowl-Lethal Lottery gimmick.
There will be a Steel Cage match between Michaels and Diesel at the MSG card along with The Ultimate Warrior vs. Owen Hart, Vader vs. Yokozuna, and Goldust against Razor Ramon. Rumors of Hart going on a really long vacation after the WWF tour of Germany in April appears to be true.
The WWF hires Dutch Mantell in a front-office capacity. He also appears on-screen as Justin Hawk Bradshaw's manager, Uncle Zebekiah.
ECW has a show at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia and to overcompensate the loss of blood from the blood-thirsty ECW fans, Raven tries to "kill" Beulah McGillicutty's "unborn baby" by kicking her in her "pregnant stomach."
The Ultimate Warrior threatens to no-show WrestleMania (big surprise). Vince McMahon flies out to Warrior's home in Phoenix and sweetens the deal with several perks.
