Countdown to Wrestlemania 15: 6 Weeks

Hunter Hearst Helmsley & X-Pac come out. Helmsley does his usual, "Are Your Ready?" thing. Helmsley tells Kane & Chyna to come out for a rematch. Kane, Chyna, & Shane McMhan come out. Shane said since Chyna did such a great job yesterday she can have the night off. Shane says himelf and Kane will wrestle Helmsley & X-Pac if X-Pac puts his European title on the line. X-Pac accepts. So I guess it's if X-Pac is pinned during the tag match, the person who pinned him would get the European Title.

They show Val Venis & Ryan Shamrock making out in back

They show Mankind climbing a ladder in back

Holly then says the Hardcore Title is all what he's about and says he's Hardcore and challenges anyone to come out for a Hardcore match. Bart Gunn comes out and is wondering what he's talking about "weak" tag partners(he was an NWA Tag Champ with Holly last year). Bart Gunn challenges Bob Holly to a Hardcore Title match next week on RAW. Holly accepts by saying, "And I'm gonna show you what an Alabama Ass whoopin is all about!" and the crowd goes nuts.

WWF Slam of the Week: Vince McMhan falling from the top of the cage yesterday

Kevin Kelly interviews Sable in the ring. Sable plugs her Playboy cover, TV Guide Cover, & TV Shows she'll be on. Sable thanks her fans sarcastically. That Sable fan runs in the ring and a WWF Guard is holding her off. Sable tells the guard to let her go. Sable tells her to get a life and tells her she'll never be like herself like the rest of the fans. I guess this interview made Sable a heel now.

Butterbean is shown in the crowd and the hosts say he might fight Bart Gunn in a Brawl for All match at Wrestlemania 15.

The lights go out in the during the match and when they pop back on all the MOD is outside the ring with Undertaker, Mabel, & Bearer at the ring entrance holding Shane McMhan. Undertaker looks like he's gonna pull out a knife and use it on Shane McMhan, but instead he pulls out some papers and tells Shane to give them to his dad.

---break---

The Rock gives some boring speech in the ring which is just most of his usual quotes.

----break---

Austin joined in for commentary for the next match

MATCH 6:(World Title Ladder Match) Corporation's "The Rock" Rocky Maivia vs. Mankind(champ)
WINNER: Rocky Maivia via Grabbing belt off Lader after Paul Wight gave a chokeslam to Mankind off the top of the ladder(12:58)10/10

Rocky continued to pose around the ring until Austin ran in and the show ends

COMMENTS: Val Venis seems to be dumping a lot of a lot of chicks, first their was Mrs. Yamagutchi San, then Terri Runnels, and now Ryan Shamrock. The WWF sure did PISS ME OFF with Shane winning the European Title and with most of the other matches ending in no contests, dqs, or screwjobs. I'm starting to get tired of the Rocky/Mankind matches. Today was the 7th televised one since the '98 Survivor Series. They'll probably have Mankind win the title on the RAW tapings tomorrow in a cage match. The show gets an overall C and will probably be a canidate for worst RAW of the year too. C Ya next week.
