My one question is what does Luger's tag team partner think about him supposedly selling out?

There's something coming up soon with him that could explain his indifference on the situation. While not that involved in the storyline he would probably mention in a promo that he doesn't believe Luger sold out which would also make what ends up happening with both of them in the next couple of months more surprising.

News and Notes


Tatanka: Native American Turncoat Sells Out
The Million Dollar Man has done it again. At In Your House #2 him and Tatanka fooled everyone and made the biggest fool of them of all of Lex Luger. When it looked like Luger was the one who had sold out it was in fact Tatanka all along that had been bought and paid for.

Dibiase has been wanting revenge on Luger for quite some time after The American Original turned his money down flat to join his Corporation. However the Million Dollar Man would come up with a master plan to get his revenge and would find the perfect person to execute it in Tatanka. Tatanka disenfranchised with lack of title shots and championship success despite his excellent win loss record, would accept Dibiase's offer to join his Corporation with the promise that the Million Dollar Man's master plan would lead to him being Intercontinental Champion being the deal sealer.

Dibiase would set the plan in motion when he would falsely claim he had bought Luger. Despite denial from Luger, Tatanka would continue to accuse him of selling out. If you go back hints that Tatanka was really the sell out had been appearing for quite some time. There was the tag match with Doink against Owen Hart and Kama where the Native American did the bare minimum in the match and then was conveniently "distracted" by Dibiase when Doink went to tag him, thus costing his team the match. Then there was him defeating then Corporation member Crush after Dibiase "accidentally" tripped his own guy which was later revealed to be as a result of Crush refusing to take a dive for the Million Dollar Man's newest investment. There was also Luger's voice coming from the Corporation locker room and seemingly conversing with Dibiase. However the voice was later revealed to coming from a cassette player playing a recording of a Luger interview from the previous year.

At In Your House #2 the cat was finally let out of the bag when Dibiase came down to ringside and cost Luger the Intercontinental Title during his match with Tatanka. Then to add insult to injury Tatanka would send Luger to dream land with the Million Dollar Dream and then humiliate him by stuffing a hundred dollar bill down his throat.

Since joining the Million Dollar Corporation, Tatanka has been living the high life. The disgraced Native American has bought a new home, several luxury cars, and with Dibiase's help has even opened a casino in his home in North Carolina.

With the Intercontinental Title and his newfound wealth it appears Tatanka is sitting on top of the world. However that world could very soon be crashing down on him if Lex Luger has his way. Luger is dying to get revenge for being set up and made a fool of and will have his chance at Summerslam when he gets a championship rematch. Will Tatanka once again hit the jackpot? Or will he roll snake eyes when faces his vengeful rival?


Rough Homecoming
In You House #2 was supposed to be the greatest night of "Double J" Jeff Jarrett's career. Not only was he getting a WWF World Title shot but he was also performing his new hit song "With My Baby Tonight". Held in his hometown of Nashville it was the opportunity Jarrett has long been waiting for to not only prove that he was the world's greatest wrestler but also the world's greatest singer and that all the major record companies such as Buddy Lee Attractions had missed the boat by not signing him. Well the first part of Jarrett's night went well as he performed his song and to the surprise of many was really good finally proving that he really did having the singing talents that he's been bragging about for nearly two years now. Unfortunately the second part of Double J's night wouldn't go so smoothly.

At the end of last year Jarret would introduce his The Roadie. The Roadie has been a loyal subordinate for Jarrett doing pretty much everything but blow his nose for him. It was because of The Roadie's interference that Jarrett would defeat Razor Ramon to win the Intercontinental Championship at the Royal Rumble. Jarrett was planning on Roadie's interference to be the difference once again when he took on Diesel for the World Championship. Unfortunately this interference would backfire when the Roadie would accidentally trip Jarrett when he ran the ropes, thinking it was Diesel. Jarrett would then stumble into the jackknife powerbomb from Diesel and get pinned. Just like that Jarrett's big homecoming had been ruined. After the match Roadie would plead his case to Jarrett however Double J didn't want to hear it as he would berate the Road Dogg and then shove him. Finally The Roadie couldn't take any more and knocked Jarrett down with a hard right. However then the man who served as Jarrett's security man during his musical performance would then hit the ring and attack Roadie. Jarrett and the security man would beat Roadie down before giving him a spike piledriver.

Later Jarrett would reveal that the security man was Brian Lee and that he was going to be his side at all times and not mess up like Roadie did. While his wrestling career has taken a bit of setback, things are going great for Jarrett's musical career as he's currently in the midst of his "Ain't I Great" Tour that will conclude in Pittsburgh at Summerslam.


Issac Yankem: Out to Extract Hitman From the WWF
At King of the Ring Jerry "The King" Lawler was humiliated when not was he defeated by Bret Hart but then also forced to kiss his foot as well. As a result Lawler is bringing in his private dentist, Issac Yankem DDS, to get revenge on the Hitman. Yankem a huge man at 6'9" and over 300 pounds was a former wrestler according to Lawler. After seeing Lawler's mouth after his loss in the kiss my foot match, Yankem has vowed to drill his way to the top of the WWF and is going to start with the Hitman by extracting all of his teeth with his big right hand. At Summerslam the big dentist will have his chance when he faces Hart one on one.


Alundra: Going Out In a Blayze of Glory?
On the June 26th Monday Night Raw "Made in the USA" Alundra Blayze finally closed the book on her long rivalry with Bull Nakano by defeating her to successfully defend her WWF Women's Championship. However immediately afterwards a new rivalry would begin for Blayze when she was sneak attacked by a large women who threw the champion around like a ragdoll before pressing her overhead and launching her face first into the top turnbuckle, breaking her nose in the process. As Blayze recovered from the injuries sustained in the attack, Faye has gone on rampage, destroying opponent after opponent. Managed by Harvey Wippleman, Faye has overpowered and overwhelmed all of her opponents. However none of those opponents are nowhere near the caliber of Alundra Blayze. Blayze who has since recovered from her injuries will put her title on the line against Faye at Summerslam. Similar to when she went against Nakano, Blayze will be going up against a woman stronger and much larger then her. Can Alundra overcome the odds again? Or will she be crushed by Wippleman's new find?

Sid isn't with Dibiase or at least he isn't yet anyways. More on that in the next news drop.

News and Notes


Manager Swap
In a blockbuster trade "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase has acquired Sycho Sid from Jim Cornette in exchange for Owen Hart. Cornette has had a tough time controlling the unpredictable and unstable Sid and after the psychotic one failed to win the WWF World Championship it made him expendable with the Louisville Lip already having another top World Title contender in Yokozuna. Perhaps with the influence of his money Dibiase will not have as tough of time controlling Sid and get him to finally reach his full potential. In Owen Hart, Cornette has acquired a very skilled and versatile wrestler who can be a top title contender in both the singles and tag team ranks. It will be interesting to see who comes out ahead on this deal in the long run.


Undertaker: Can He Seal The Casket On Kama
Ted Dibiase and the Million Dollar Corporation have been quite a thorn in The Undertaker's side for quite some time. Dibiase who was involved in bringing the Undertaker to the WWF five years ago felt betrayed when Taker went against him at last years Survivor Series. As a result he has sent Corporation member after Corporation member after Undertaker in an attempt to rid the Phenom from the WWF once for all. While Undertaker had little trouble burying Irwin R. Schyster and Earthquake, the process of putting "The Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama to rest has been a bit more painstaking. During Undertaker's career many opponents have been bold enough to trespass on the dark side but none of returned the same. In April at WrestleMania Kama dared to cross that line. At the influence of his diabolical manager, Kama would interfere in Undertaker's match and steal the sacred urn, the one possession Undertaker claims to gain his mystical power, from Paul Bearer. Then to throw yet more dirt on the coffin, Kama melted the grim reapers guiding light into a gold necklace which he's been using as symbolic trophy to hand around his massive neck.

On the July 8th Superstars Undertaker would do battle with Kama to take back what he had stolen. Unfortunately for the Dead Man he would become side tracked for his quest to regain the urn when just a few minutes into the match he was attacked by Reverend Backlund and Adam Bomb in their campaign to destroy Undertaker and the supposed black cloud he casts over the WWF. After defeating the Reverend at In Your House #2, Undertaker has refocused his attention back on Kama. With the absence of his sacred urn Undertaker has reached out to his Creatures of the Night to utilize their power as his driving force. The Creatures would be there for Undertaker as they carried a black reef with them at all times in protest of Kama's callous actions. On the August 5th Superstars after winning his match, The Supreme Fighting Machine would take it upon himself to rip the Creatures symbol of death to shreds. When one of the Creatures climbed into the ring in an attempt to gather the torn symbol of darkness, Kama would attack the Creature as he hoisted him up by the neck and then slammed him down hard to the canvas. As a result of Kama's actions WWF President Gorilla Monsoon would make the long anticipated match between Kama and Undertaker at Summerslam a casket match. Will the missing power of the urn be too much for Undertaker? Or will he make the Supreme Fighting Machine finally rest in peace?


Rivalry Revisited
Over the last few years one of the premier wrestlers in the WWF has been Razor Ramon. However lately Razor has been in a bit of slump. Hampered by injuries, the ailing Bad Guy has been walking the Razor's Edge in 1995. At the Royal Rumble he would lose the Intercontinental Championship to Jeff Jarrett and at In Your House #2 failed to win the tag titles with Savio Vega against Men on a Mission. Meanwhile Razor's former nemesis, Shawn Michaels, has been having a career year. Shawn would capture the WWF World Championship at Royal Rumble and even after losing the title at WrestleMania, has still been riding a big wave of momentum with his recent victory over Sycho Sid. On top of that Michaels has also become a major fan favorite that is perhaps even more popular then Razor is.

On the July 15th Superstars Ramon took on Sid. Thanks to interference from his manager, Jim Cornette, Sid would take the upper hand and looked to be ready to finish Razor with the powerbomb. Michaels rushed the ring and attacked Sid causing Razor to get disqualified. Razor didn't take kindly to this and would shove Michaels with the two nearly coming to blows with Vega stepping in to play peacemaker. Later on in an interview Ramon would state although him and Michaels were "on the same side of the fence" that it didn't change anything and that he still didn't like him and that while the fans had forgiven him he hadn't. It's hard to blame Razor for feeling this way given the history between him and Michaels. However at the same time it's also maybe a bit hypocritical. Not that long ago Razor was a ruthless rulebreaker himself before he too saw the error of his ways.

On the July 31st Razor would get back on the winning track with an impressive victory over Hakushi. However after the match Ramon would deliver a second Razor's Edge to his opponent with Savio then having to stop him from dishing out more punishment. Later on in an interview Ramon would say that he's done being a "nice guy" and that he was tired of hearing everyone talk about Shawn Michaels while correctly pointing out that Michaels had never beat him before in all of their previous matches with the most notable being their classic ladder match at WrestleMania X. On the August 7th Raw Gorilla Monsoon would announce that Michaels would take on Ramon in best two out of three falls match to once and all determine who the better man was. Can The Heartbreak Kid finally exorcise the demon and defeat his long time rival? Or will The Bad Guy continue to have his number?


Class Is In Session
Nobody likes a know it all and there's no bigger example of that in the WWF then Dean Douglas. Since arriving in the WWF the haughty professor has lectured fans and wrestlers from his class room. The Dean has also been seen at various times down at ringside taking notes on various wrestlers, scouting them so he's prepared when he meets them in the ring. At Summerslam Douglas will be on hand to critique and grade the performances of the superstars competing at the event.

[Celexa Bliss]

Yokozuna is a far better monster heel for Diesel to face than Mabel. I like that Razor is acting a bit more heelish here than in real life before this match. Tatanka-Luger seems to work a lot better in 1995 than in 1994, for some reason. Bam Bam-Sid should've happened on a PPV irl so that's a great addition. Tekno Team 2000 feel like filler opponents, but they could pull off the upset. Kid-Owen makes sense, since he already faced Hakushi at WrestleMania. MMR-Lafitte seems to be total filler, but it'll help heat Lafitte up for his next opponent, probably Bret? Or maybe someone else? I expect Roadie shenanigans during the Jarrett concert.

Great looking card, very excited to see what happens!

I actually wasn't planning on doing Bigelow against Sid until you mentioned it in your predictions and I decided to add it as it is a cool match that also adds some more star power to the show.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I was contemplating on having Lafitte-MMR or not but decided to keep it on for the reason you mentioned as I wanted to give Lafitte a win to heat him up going into the Bret feud.

News and Notes


Why Davey Why?
In the crazy world of the WWF there's always been changes in attitudes and allegiances from wrestlers. Whether it be they are blinded by greed or frustrated by lack of success, many once upstanding men have ruined their reputations and sold their souls to the dark side. However one man who has always been a constant on the side of good has been "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith. Since first surfacing in the WWF all the way back in 1985 as one half of the tag team The British Bulldogs, Davey Boy has always been a perennial fan favorite. The pleasant Englishman could always be seen with a smile on his while never declining to sign an autograph for fans and never resorting to rule breaking tactics in the ring. However that would all change on the August 28th Raw. That night Davey Boy was scheduled to team with his Allied Power tag team partner "The American Original" Lex Luger to take on Jim Cornette's tandem of Yokozuna and Owen Hart. However while WWF World Champion Diesel was conducting an interview in the ring with Vince McMahon, Davey Boy would interrupt. Bulldog would inform everyone that Luger couldn't make the show due to travel issues and asked Diesel to be his partner for the night. Diesel accepted and would team with Bulldog in the main event.

In the match Bulldog would start the match against Yokozuna. Yokozuna however would demand Bulldog tag Diesel as it was obvious that the former sumo star was still stinging about his defeat to the champion the night before at Summerslam. Bulldog would oblige and tag Diesel but then shockingly would nail the champion from behind with a clothesline, sending him stumbling into the arms of Yokozuna who planted him a belly to belly suplex. It had been a set up all along. Yokozuna, Hart, and Smith would then all put the boots to Diesel with the Bulldog putting the exclamation point on the beatdown with thunderous running powerslam on the champion. Davey Boy would refuse comment afterwards.

On Superstars the following weekend a new look Bulldog, now sporting a new shorter haircut, and his new manager, Jim Cornette, would give reason for Davey Boy's shocking betrayal. Not surprisingly Cornette would do most of the talking as he questioned how an international star the caliber of Davey Boy had never once received a WWF World Championship match. Cornette would then say it was because everyone is scared of Bulldog and that the powers to be had taken advantage of him being a nice guy with him signing autographs and showing up early and staying late to clean up while being passed over for their golden boys. Cornette would say that Davey Boy Smith was dead and that this was the new British Bulldog and that he was a dog that determined to take what he wants and have his day. When questioned if he had any regrets for what he did Bulldog would say the only regret he had was that he was sorry he didn't do it sooner. Bulldog would say that nice guys finish last and he was tired of having to back up the likes of Bret Hart and Lex Luger and play second fiddle to them while getting nothing in return. Bulldog would say that he was looking for a new bone to chew on and found it in Diesel.

On the September 4th Raw McMahon would interview Lex Luger about the actions of his former tag team partner. Luger then revealed that the real reason he wasn't at Raw the previous week was because Bulldog was supposed to pick him up at the airport but ended up no showing and driving to the arena by himself. Bulldog and his new entourage of Cornette, Yokozuna, and Owen Hart would then show up. Luger would question how Bulldog could turn his back on his fans and friends and then on top of that align himself with the "trash" he was now associated with. Bulldog would then tell Luger that he had done him favor the previous week by not picking him up as the original plan suggested to him was to set up Lex but Bulldog declined and suggested Diesel instead which Cornette agreed with as that would get them closer to the WWF World Title picture. Bulldog then reminded Luger that it was him who was one of the few people who believed him and stood by his side as he was being falsely accused of selling out to Ted Dibiase. However Bulldog would then say that he was done "carrying" Luger and that he was now looking out for himself and moving onto bigger and better things. Bulldog would add his partnership and friendship with Luger was over and then advised him that it was in his best interest to leave him alone and stay out of his way. When Bulldog turned to leave Luger would grab him by the shoulder in an attempt to talk sense into him. This would prove to be a big mistake as he was then ambushed by Hart and Yokozuna. Bulldog at first seemed hesitant to join in but then eventually did, slapping his former partner in the face while he was being held before hitting the running powerslam.

On the September 11th Raw Diesel would team up with Dudes With Attitudes partner Shawn Michaels to take on Hart and Yokozuna. As Diesel was loading Hart up for the jackknife, Bulldog would run in and attack him from behind to draw a disqualification. Camp Cornette would beat the Dudes with Attitudes down three on two until Luger would rush the ring to even the odds and help Michaels and Diesel clear the ring.

In the main event of In Your House #3 it will be a colossal six man tag team match with Diesel, Michaels, and Luger taking on Bulldog, Hart, and Yokozuna. Which one of these powerful trios will prevail on September 24th?

Since resurfacing in the WWF last spring Jean Pierre Lafitte has quickly gained a reputation of being a thief. Bret "Hitman" Hart has been the latest victim of the brawny bucs thievery. On the August 13th Superstars Pierre would steal a pair of sunglasses that Hart had given to a young fan. Then on the August 21st Action Zone Pierre would once again try to steal sunglasses from a Hitman fan which would then bring out Hart who got into a intense brawl with Lafitte that had to broken up. However on the August 28th Raw Pierre would attain his biggest booty. As Hart was wrestling Rad Radford, Pierre would come down to ringside and steal Hart's ring jacket. Hart would attempt to stop him but was attacked from behind by Radford, allowing Lafitte to escape. Since then Lafitte has began wearing the jacket to further agitate Hart.

At In Your House #3 Hart will have a chance to reclaim his jacket when he takes on Lafitte. Will Lafitte's plan of getting under Hart's skin work in allowing to help him defeat the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be and reach superstardom in the WWF? Or will the Hitman deep six the pirate and make him pay for his treacherous actions.


Still Waters Run Deep
In late June vignettes began airing promoting the debut of Waylon Mercy. It seemed like nobody knew what to make of this mysterious and complex newcomer. Soft spoken and polite on the surface Mercy seemed like a nice southern gentlemen that you would want as your neighbor, claiming that he was a peaceful individual that didn't want any trouble. However at the same time something seemed off about Mercy as at times his voice would become more sinister while saying things like "Lives are gonna be in Waylon Mercy's hands if ya know what I mean" with a look in his eyes that would be best described as haunting.

Before matches Mercy shakes hands with the fans, his opponent, and even the referee. However as soon as the bell rings to start the match the facade is over as he turns into a unhinged lunatic, violently beating opponents from pillar to post while also seeming to get a sadistic glee from it. Mercy isn't the gentleman he wants you to think he is but in actuality a big evil conman. Standing 6'8" and weighing around 300 pounds Mercy is also a large man who appears to have a high tolerance for pain in which he can take punishment as well as he can dish it out.

At In Your House #3 Mercy will face his toughest test to date when he takes on Doink The Clown. Doink a master of mind games himself is likely not to be fooled by Mercy's charade as his previous opponents have been so far. Perhaps Doink, always the prankster, will have some tricks up of his sleeve of his own? Or will it be Mercy who gets the laugh if you know what I mean?


Back In The Saddle Again
After losing the WWF Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XI to Men on a Mission and then losing a rematch the following month, many wrote the Smoking Gunns off thinking they would never become champions again. However the Gunns were undeterred by these set backs as they would saddle back up and continue to rack up win after through the summer to earn their way back into number one contender status. The Gunns would get another chance against Men on a Mission the day after Summerslam on the August 28th Raw and they wouldn't miss their shot this time. After neutralizing the 500 pound Big Daddy Frazier by knocking him out of the ring with a double dropkick, the two tall rawboned cowboys would focus on Hard Knocks Horn and one sidewinder later were once again riding high as WWF Tag Team Champions.

At In Your House #3 the Gunns will be putting their newly won titles on the line against the team of Reverend Backlund and his first disciple Adam Bomb. The Gunns will have a big advantage in tag team experience however the combination of Bomb's size and strength and Backlund's technique and aggression could lead to a short title reign for the cowboys.

[Celexa Bliss]

Four matches confirmed for In Your House. I'm guessing we get Douglas vs. either Razor or Kid. Maybe Jarrett/Roadie? Godwinn/Sid? A lot of possibilities.

As for what's been confirmed, I'll predict Bulldog pins Diesel to make himself the number one contender. Bret probably wins to set him up for Survivor Series. Mercy is definitely going over, especially if you're planning what I think/hope you're planning. Tag Title match is more of a wildcard, but I'm inclined to go with Billy and Bart, because there aren't really any face options to challenge Backlund and Bomb.

News and Notes


Razor: Looking To Expel The Dean From The WWF
Since coming to the WWF Dean Douglas has been critiquing the superstars of the WWF and giving them report cards. One man who didn't care for Dean's not so constructive criticism was Razor Ramon. After giving Razor an F for his loss to Shawn Michaels at Summerslam, Ramon would level the Dean with a hard right hand. Since then a heated rivalry has developed between the two in which it also looks like the Dean has been able to drive a wedge in the friendship of Razor and the 1-2-3 Kid. On the September 4th Raw Douglas would take on the Kid in an attempt to send a message to Razor through giving a beating to his little buddy. At various points Dean could've won the match but instead picked the Kid's shoulders up off the mat on pin attempts so he could further punish him instead. Eventually Razor couldn't take any more and ran into the ring to attack Douglas thus costing the Kid the match via disqualification. Afterwards the Kid was angry at Razor telling him he was tired of him being "big brother" and that he didn't need him fighting his battles for him. In an attempt to prove himself the Kid would even challenge his mentor to match the following week. With a chip on his shoulder the Kid would hold his own against Razor until a shoulder tackle from the Bad Guy knocked both him and the referee out of the ring. Dean Douglas would then seize the moment as he would come down to the ring and hit a top rope splash on Ramon. The Kid not even knowing what had happened would then cover Razor for the victory.

At In Your House #3 it will be put up or shut up time for Douglas when he finally goes one on one with Razor. Will the Dean be able to walk the talk? Or will it be the Dean who is the one taken to school courtesy of the Bad Guy?


Facing The Music
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett has long been claiming that he's the world's greatest entertainer and the world's greatest singer. After the success of his debut album "With My Baby Tonight" even Jarrett's biggest critics were eating crow. It turned out the cocky country music star really did have all this talent that he claimed to have. Or so we thought?

At Summerslam Double J would be exposed as the Milli Vanilli of the WWF thanks to his former Roadie. While "performing" his song "With My Baby Tonight" a vocal recording began to skip revealing that Jarrett was lip synching. The Roadie, who had been kicked to the road by Jarrett the month before, would then come out and reveal that he was the one responsible for the recording skipping. Roadie would then begin singing "With My Baby Tonight", revealing that it was in fact him who was the true singer and that Jarrett was nothing more then a fraud.

Roadie who is now calling himself "The Real Double J" Jesse James has said that Jarrett never had any talent and also offered him a job to be his Roadie. On top of his singing talents Roadie has since proven himself to be a talented wrestler since breaking off from Jarrett, scoring wins over Tom Prichard and Rad Radford. On the September 11th Raw James would look to continue his winning ways when he took on Jarrett's newest flunky, Brian Lee. James would pick up the win but would pay the price for it afterwards when he was double teamed by Lee and Jarrett. Jarrett would deliberately target James throat in the attack, ramming him throat first into the turnbuckle rod in an attempt to take away his singing voice.

At In Your House #3 Jarrett will have to face the music when he goes one on one with James. Can Jarrett save at least some face by proving he's a better wrestler? Or will he once again be embarrassed by his former Roadie?


Godwinn: A Fool To Do Dibiase's Dirty Work No More
Every one has a price! Or so says "The" Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase who it's been long rumored as been using the financially challenged hog farmer, Henry O. Godwinn, as a pawn. A minimum wage mercenary carrying out Dibiase's dirty work. At the behest of Dibiase, Godwinn would target Million Dollar Corporation nemesis, Bam Bam Bigelow, with the Million Dollar Man promising him a spot in the Million Dollar Corporation if he was successful in eliminating Bigelow. However at In Your House #2 Godwinn would fail to deliver for the Million Dollar Man as he was defeated by Bigelow. While he had no intention of officially adding Godwinn to his Corporation after this, Dibiase still intended on continuing to use the hog farmer as cheap help. On the August 14th Raw Dibiase was commentating the event along with Vince McMahon. McMahon would ask Dibiase if Godwinn was part of the Corporation. Dibiase would reply no but that there could be a opening down the road for him. However when they would go to commercial break Dibiase would begin to trash Godwinn saying he couldn't believe that McMahon would even suggest that he would ever consider having some low class hillbilly in his Corporation. Dibiase would then call Godwinn "bacon breath" and admitted that he paid him off to do his dirty work while adding that he also came very cheap. Unbeknownst to Dibiase the camera's had forgot to cut to commercial, meaning Godwinn had heard everything he just said. Godwinn would come down to ringside with Dibiase pleading and even begging the hog farmer not to empty his slop bucket on him. Godwinn wasn't having it though as the Million Dollar Man was slopped and humiliated.

An embarrassed Dibiase would vow revenge on Godwinn. On the September 2nd Superstars Godwinn would take on Corporation member Tatanka. The match would quickly end in a disqualification when the newest member of the Corporation, Sycho Sid, interfered. Bam Bam Bigelow would even the odds and help Godwinn clear the Million Dollar Corporation from the ring. Godwinn would then slop Sid as he was standing outside the ring. Sid would then go into an absolute fit afterwards destroying the entire backstage area in a rage. On the September 9th Superstars Godwinn faced off against Sid. Within the first few minutes of the match Dibiase was once again slopped by Godwinn. Dibiase would retreat to the backstage with Tatanka and Kama then coming to ringside to avenge their manager. Godwinn was then beat down three on one by Sid, Tatanka, and Kama before Bigelow once again came to his rescue. On the September 23rd Superstars Godwinn teamed with Bigelow to take on Tatanka and Kama. The Million Dollar Corporation would pick up the win when Sid interfered and powerbombed Godwinn on the floor causing him to be counted out.

At In Your House #3 Dibiase will dispatch his most dangerous member, Sid, to take care of the hog farmer once and for all. Just 24 hours removed from being powerbombed outside the ring, Godwinn will be going into the match less then 100%. Can Godwinn fight through the pain and pull off the upset? Or is he pig without a prayer?


Making A Difference
One man looking to make a difference in the WWF is Fatu. The former Headshrinker recently revealed that he actually grew up in a ghetto in San Francisco. Despite his rough upbringing Fatu has been able to become a star in the WWF through hard work and doing the right thing. Fatu is hoping to utilize his success to inspire others by being a positive role model and encouraging kids to stay in school and say no to drugs. While Fatu is a positive influence for youths of America he's a negative influence for anyone who has the misfortune of stepping in the ring with him. The rugged 300 pounder overwhelms opponents with high impact offense before putting them away with a flying splash off the top rope. It shouldn't be long before Fatu is making a difference in the WWF in a big way.
