Episode 25: The New Age Outlaws Outsmart The Competition!

June 8th, 1998: Thanks to his charitable endeavors, Vince McMahon will be honored with a Humanitarian of the Year Award, and he's feeling so generous that he even invites "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to join the ceremony. However, The Undertaker is still looking to have a face-to-face conversation with the boss, and he's willing to disrupt "Raw" as much as possible in order to get what he wants. "Summerslam" will take place in New York City two months from now, so the WWF sent D-Generation-X out into the streets of The Big Apple, where Triple-H proceeds to bust out several offensive accents. Later in the night, The New Age Outlaws are ordered to defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against L.O.D. 2000 and The Disciples of Apocalypse in a Triple Threat Match, but the Outlaws hatch a brilliant plan to get the better of their opponents. In our first King of the Ring Qualifying Match, Ken Shamrock takes on Kama, whose Nation of Domination pals are banned from ringisde. In our second qualifier, Owen Hart goes one-on-one with Scorpio in what turns out to be a very solid match. And in our third qualifier, Dan "The Beast" Severn squares off with D'Lo Brown, with the finish of the match being the launching point for D'Lo's rise to prominence in the WWF. Jeff Jarrett & Marc Mero team up to face the opponents they each beat last week: Faarooq & Steve Blackman. Val Venis takes on Dustin Runnels, who is making his first apperance on "Raw" in three weeks. Mark Henry and Vader go head-to-head in an attempt to figure out who is the biggest 400-pound jobber on the roster. Darren Drozdov has a match with Chainz because, well, sometimes you just have to fill three minutes of TV time. Plus, Al Snow continues to seek a meeting with Vince McMahon, we get an Edge vignette which provides the audio for his future theme music, and Sable gets a tribute video because she is most definitely gone from the WWF forever. Meanwhile over on "Nitro," a famous trouble-making basketball player skips practice before Game 4 of the NBA Finals to hang out with Hulk Hogan! Enjoying the Podcast?
