WWF Monday Night Raw: March 4, 1996

We immediately start tonight's show with Shawn Michaels taking on The 1-2-3 Kid (w/ Ted DiBiase) with our hosts Vince McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Kid tries to attack Michaels while he was dancing, only for Michaels to throw him over the top rope.

Kid puts Michaels in a headlock. Michaels escapes only to be hit by a spinning heel kick. Kid celebrates only for Michaels to roll him up. Michaels gives Kid a press slam and clotheslines him over the top rope with Michaels skinning the cat to get himself back into the ring. Bret Hart is shown on a splitscreen to join in on commentary by saying he's impressed with Michaels so far but that won't happen at WrestleMania.

Back in the ring, Michaels nails Kid with a powerslam for two. Kid hits him with a flying heel kick and a dropkick which sends Michaels over the top rope and to the floor. Kid flies over the top rope onto Michaels on the floor. Ted DiBiase walks by and kicks Michaels a few times. Kid nails him with a few kicks in the corner and dropkicks him in the corner as we go to commercial break.

Back from break and Michaels fights out of a chinlock only to get hit by another spinning heel kick. Michaels and Kid hit each other with clotheslines to knock each other out. Michaels kips up and fights back and hits Kid with a flying Moonsault and then a flying forearm.

He gives Kid a flying elbow drop and begins to set up for Sweet Chin Music by stomping his foot before going for it. However, Kid ducks and goes to the outside and Michaels chases him. Kid kicks on Michaels when he comes back into the ring. Kid goes up to the top and misses a flying legdrop. Michaels hits him with Sweet Chin Music for the 1-2-3. Shawn is seen dancing with a little girl in the ring following the match.

Goldust decides to host an episode of Piper's Pit. Goldust is wearing a skirt I mean kilt. He mentions how turned on he was when he smashed a coconut over Jimmy Snuka's head. He was also a fan of the movie They Live, but he will never be as great of an actor that Goldust is. The way Dustin Rhodes is playing this character he's not lying. He then plays the bagpipes where he's sucking on the pipes like he would on Piper's dick.

Vince McMahon tells us that The Ultimate Warrior is returning to the WWF at WrestleMania XII. He tells us that the Warrior defeated both the "so called Immortal" Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage at WrestleMania VI and VII, no doubt to rub it in WCW's face that he beat both Hogan and Savage.

This past weekend on WWF Superstars, the WWF Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals continue with the second match of the tournament. The Godwinns defeated The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and newcomer Leif Cassidy) to advance to the semifinals, where they will meet Davey Boy Smith and Owen Hart. Next week, it will be "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon teaming with Savio Vega to take on The 1-2-3 Kid and Tatanka.

Next week on Raw, former bitter enemies Yokozuna and The Undertaker will team up to take on Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith.

Justin Hawk Bradshaw (w/ Uncle Zebekiah) takes on Hakushi. Bradshaw, who is doing some sort of cowboy or Texas hand signals and yelling at the crowd, destroys Hakushi, who continues to fall on the cards despite being close a to main eventer last year battling Bret Hart. Interim WWF President Roddy Piper calls in and talks to Vince and The King on the phone.

He tells us he will be on Raw next week and will announce who The Ultimate Warrior will face at WrestleMania XII. Piper also tells Goldust to confront him on the show next week. Bradshaw wins following a Lariat clothesline. After the match, Hakushi gets hogtied and "branded" by Zebekiah. This is a sad way to further lower and diminish Hakushi.

Mankind does another promo from his basement or wherever he is. He goes on to again talk about his horrible childhood and parents that makes him the demented freak that you see and how no one likes him or wants to be his friend.

It's time for the main event as WWF World Heavyweight Champion Bret "The Hitman" Hart takes on Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Helmsley again is being accompanied by another hot chick as this time it's a blonde named Emerald Hart. Helmsley gets the advantage at the start until he runs into a knee by Hart in the corner.

Hart hits him with a fyling clothesline and then puts him in a wristlock. His WrestleMania opponent Shawn Michaels comes down to ringside and sits down and watches the match as we go to commercial break. As we come back, Hart has Helmsley in a hammerlock. Helmsley gets out of the hold and drops Bret to the floor.

Bret sees Shawn and tells him to go back to the dressing room. Shawn tells Bret that Hunter is coming off the apron to double axe handle him only for Bret to turn around in time to hit him in the gut. Back in the ring, Hunter hits a high knee and begins to take control of the match. He constantly whips Bret from corner to corner and then hits him with a suplex. He then knee drops him for two as we go to another commercial.

Back from commercial, Hunter jumps off the middle rope only to be hit in the face by Bret's boot as Bret begins to fight back. He gives him the backbreaker and flying elbow drop for two. Hunter rolls him up as Bret kicks out and sends Hunter out of the ring.

Back in the ring, Hunter is begging Bret off only to sucker Bret into the corner. Helmsley comes off the middle rope only for Bret to catch him and lock him into the Sharpshooter for the victory. Michaels heads to the back as Bret is celebrating in the ring.

It's time for TeeVee Trivia with Billionaire Ted and Candy. Ted misses every question that is basically who said this while they are supposedly vile quotes from Ted Turner. Candy gets them right just by saying Billionaire Ted while she's not really trying to answer them she's just addressing him and she gets the points.

Nacho Man is shown backstage giving the thumbs up. Ted then flips out saying he owns the network and pulls the plug on the show and we are out.
