Episode 49: The Undertaker Tries To Embalm "Stone Cold" & Shawn Michaels Is The New Commissioner!

November 23rd, 1998: Sgt. Slaughter has decided to step down from his commissioner role, so Vince McMahon appoints a replacement: the returning Shawn Michaels! However, that may prove to be the wrong decision for Mr. McMahon as HBK's first order of business is to schedule "The Corporate Champion" The Rock to defend his WWF Title against X-Pac! "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is hospitalized with a concussion after being hit with a shovel by The Undertaker last week, and The Dead Man then proceeds to continue his carnage by abducting Austin from the medical facility. Mankind is ordered to defend his beloved Hardcore Title in a Triple Threat Match against Corporation members Ken Shamrock and The Big Boss Man. In a non-title match, WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws go head-to-head with J.O.B. Squad members Bob Holly & Scorpio. Edge & Gangrel square off with D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry in what turns out to be a very solid heel vs. heel match. And speaking of The Brood, WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Christian puts his title on the line against ultimate underdog Duane Gill. Goldust faces "Marvelous" Marc Mero while each man's former valet looks on from ringside. Steve Blackman steps into the ring with The Blue Blazer.... but who is inside the costume? The Headbangers take on Oddities members Kurrgan & Golga as The Insane Clown Posse proceed to make their presence felt from ringside. The Godfather is scheduled to face Tiger Ali Singh, but a pre-match interruption from an angry Steven Regal may change those plans. Plus, Chyna tries to put an end to the sexual harassment lawsuit which was filed against her, a leaf-blower is used as a weapon by multiple people, and Kane makes a surprise appearance!
