COMMENTS: Most of the matches were rushed. I don't want to pay $40 to see Austin against Chyna, they'll more than likely do something next week on RAW to change it where Helmsley is the #1 contender again. The Jericho debut kicked Ass! Limp Bizcuit does his entrance music. I wished the Acolytes still had the tag straps. Well it's been fun doing RAW reports since September 1997, but I just don't have enough time for writing out TV reports anymore with a Job and school coming up, the rest of the webpage will still be updated though. Well, C ya guys all later!
