News & Notes: Would Mr. McMahon fire Austin after the events of Unforgiven? No, that was too good for him. Vince wanted to teach Steve a lesson. He made Stone Cold defend his belt against Goldust with Brisco as the ref. If Austin touched Gerald, Vince would fire him. This annoyed Dude Love, so he interfered. In the chaos, McMahon hit Brisco with the title belt by mistake. The next week, a confused Mick Foley appeared as himself. If Dude wasn’t good enough for Vince, who could he be? Mr. McMahon motivated Foley by booking him against Terry Funk in a No Holds Barred fight. If Mick tore out the heart of his mentor, Vince would accept him back. Mick fought a hard battle and won. After the bout, Mick shared a moment with Stone Cold. However, Foley returned to McMahon with open arms and once again donned the Dude Love persona. What happened next? I’ll explain in the match notes.
Meanwhile, DX invaded an episode of WCW Nitro. They drove a jeep (not a tank) to WCW’s arena and approached the door. WCW security wouldn’t let them inside. DX claimed their friends were hostages. No matter how hard they knocked on the gate, they gained no entry. So they interviewed the fans on the street instead. Some claimed they received free tickets to the show. The following week, DX infiltrated the CNN Center. They wanted to speak with Ted Turner, but he wasn’t there. DX filmed as much footage inside as they could, but the security made them leave.
In other news, The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust had enough. McMahon using him as a pawn broke Goldust. He burned his gear and vowed to never use the disgusting gimmick again. He was now using his real name, Dustin Runnels. This led Vince to book him in a bout with Dude Love. If Runnels lost, he must work without pay for a month. Patterson screwed Dustin out of a victory. Next, Al Snow and Head arrived! Al’s on a mission to meet with McMahon and get a contract. Snow even convinced Lawler to sneak him into the building. Jerry promised him a meeting if Snow protected Lawler from wrestler attacks. (I’ll explain later.) Snow patrolled the audience until he realized Jerry lied to him. When he confronted The King, security threw Snow out. Then we have a new group in the WWF. Jackyl introduced his Human Oddities. Some of these were Howard Stern’s Wack Pack. He also had two wrestlers, Golga & Giant Silva. Golga is Earthquake under a mask. The Giant Silva is a large wrestler from Mexico. Jackyl also adds Kurrgan to the mix. Since Goldust kicked Luna to the curb, she joined The Oddities as a manager. Finally, the WWF aired vignettes for Edge. He’s a brooding man in a trench coat. Edge runs screaming through subway stations. A mysterious voice says, “You think you know me?” Who is this enigmatic man?
