Night Raw
Date: July 29, 1996
Location: Key Arena, Seattle, Washington
Attendance: 6,755
Commentators: Vince McMahon, Jerry Lawler
Opening sequence.
Sycho Sid vs. Justin Hawk Bradshaw
Sunny officially introduces Faarooq Asad (first time the name is officially used), who thinks Ahmed is disrespectful to women. Faarooq talks about the streets and wants a shot at the Intercontinental Title at Summerslam. Simple and effective, as I often like it.
Vader vs. Marc Mero
More from the Crush (not yet named or identified) litigation from last week.
British Bulldog vs. Henry Godwinn
Some guy named Mark Henry is really strong.
We get a quick interview from In Your House IX with Mankind in the boiler room with Goldust and Marlena. Mankind rants about an incident when he was a kid and says destruction can be beautiful. Vince mentions the Boiler Room Brawl at Summerslam and my goodness that would change a lot of things.
Undertaker vs. Steve Austin
Undertaker Tombstones Austin post match and promises to make Mankind rest in peace to end the show.
