WWF Raw is War Review (4/27/98): Steve Austin Defends His Title, DX Tries Invading WCW

Dude Love’s Love Shack

Dude Love comes out with his ladies and says by the end of the evening, he can appreciate why everyone loves Stone Cold. Love says Austin is one “tough cookie,” but he chewed him up and spit him out.

After Dude’s “performance of his lifetime,” he says he took the ladies up to the room, looked into their eyes and said “the Dude just needs to be held.” Love says the dude is now without the gold because Austin took the easy way out.

Love calls Austin’s chair shot on Mr. McMahon a “cheap shot.” He says we have three choices—we find the ex-champion, Shawn Michaels and put Dude against Austin, put Dude in a #1 contender’s tournament where he’s the number seed or fire Austin, strip him of the belt and “hand it off to the Dude.”

Heel or not, how can you not love the Dude?

DX Assault

We cut to video of Helmsley asking the fans if Eric Bischoff and WCW sucks. HHH says they have fired the first shot. We also see that they’ve come closer to WCW’s arena.
