**Jesse James and Rick Steiner begin arguing about who's fault the loss was just as they did
  last week.  They get face to face but are stopped as the Bulldog's theme starts up and Davey
  Boy Smith comes out.**

BULL - Wait up you two! Now last week, when I tried to calm you two down, you both attacked me.
       Now this week, you're going to beat the hell out of each other again. Well, how about
       tonight we have a little match.
       Three way dance, lets get this sorted.

ROAD - Agreed, I've had enough of this Shiznit. So I'll take it out on both of you.

RICK - No, tonight I will be the top dog not you Road Dogg and not you Bulldog

BULL - It won't matter who wins tonight, because no matter what happens I am ending this cr@p
       now. The Dogg Pound is no more, I could have made you two into stars but no, you're too
       damn pathetic. See you in the ring later.

**Bulldog throws down the microphone and leaves as Road Dogg and the Dog Faced Gremlin stare
  each other out before leaving as well.** 

A four way match signed by Blackman to prove he is still the king of HaRdCoRe didn't end as he
wanted after Saturn walked away with the victory.

The match was fairly long but the ending came after Tazz put Vampiro down with a Tazmissionplex
but before the Thug could make the pin, Blackman took him to the outside with a clothesline.

Blackman followed Tazz out but Saturn took the oportunty and climbed to the top to deliver the
elbowdrop on Vampiro, who was still down from the Tazmission-plex.

Saturn defeated Steve Blackman, Vampiro and Tazz:
         x Saturn beat Vampiro via the Top Rope Elbowdrop in 0:14:40

Six man tag match took place next as Hell's Fury attempted to get back at the M.D.Group.  But
it was Christian's blinding desire to get at Edge that cost them the match.

Christian and Edge got into the match together around the twelve minute mark and Edge seemed to
have....well the edge over his brother.  But after Edge tagged out, Christian was cut off from
the others and couldn't make the tag.

However the end came when the newest MDGroup member, Faarooq came out with a road sign and
threw it into the ring whilst Bull & Edge distracted the referee.  Test clobbered Christian in
the back of the head with it and made the cover.

**As Hell's Fury leave, the Million Dollar Theme starts up again as DiBiase comes out to join
  Edge, Faarooq, Test and Bull in the ring.**

$TED - You see Hell's Fury, another plan for the M.D.Man. But Faarooq, well done for coming out
       and winning the match as I asked, so it's time you had an appraisal and maybe a bonus.

**Faarooq looks puzzled but at the mention of a bonus a huge smile comes across his face and he
  holds out his hand.**

$TED - Faarooq, thank you for your help at ARMAGEDDON and in this match just now. But you see...
       ...I don't need you anymore.

**Faarooq's smile drops as he is nailed from behind with a big boot from Test. Bull, Test and
  Edge then start to triple team Faarooq, as DiBiase continues to speak.**

$TED - Faarooq, you were only good for that one match last night. You were effectivly on a 
       per-appearance contract and now that contract has been revoked. You will never amount to
       anything, you're washed up!

**By now Faarooq is out on the mat and DiBiase nods to Edge. Edge reaches into Faarooq's pocket
  and pulls out the blank cheque from earlier then hands it to Ted DiBiase.**

$TED - So I guess, you won't be needing this anymore.

**DiBiase tears up the cheque and lets the pieces float down onto Faarooq.**

$TED - I said earlier that NO BODY was safe from the M.D.Group and we just proved it. Faarooq,
       you might as well get out of the Federation because if you cross paths with us, you'll
       regret it. Now come on, lets get out of here.

**DiBiase, Test, Bull and Edge then exit the ring with Faarooq laid out in the middle of the
  ring with a huge laciration across his forehead.** 

This match proved why the Dogg Pound was such an unsuccessful group as neither man seemed to be
able to have control for more then a minute.

The match was thankfully ended after the Road Dogg put Rick Steiner down with the Shake, Rattle
and Right Hand after the Bulldog was put down following a double powerbomb just seconds earlier
by Rick & Road.

**As Road Dogg celebrates in the ring, the Bulldog and Rick Steiner get back up and start the
  fight again.
  All three men are beating each other again when the 'Mood is About to Change' hits.

  The former Dogg-Pound members continue to fight as Tazz and the Dudleys come out carrying 3
  tables between them.
  Tazz and the Dudleys set up the tables on the outside and enter the ring as the Doggs finally
  notice them.  It's only a matter of seconds before Team Extreme have the three men down on the
  mat and the Bulldog is the first to go through a table as he gets Overhead belly-to-belly
  Tazplexed over the top rope to one on the outside.

  The Dudley Boys then continue to pound on Road Dogg and Rick Steiner as Tazz brings the other
  two tables into the ring and sets one up in the middle of the ring.  Rick Steiner is sent
  through that table via a Dudley Death Drop as Tazz sets the last table up by a corner post.

  Jesse James is then hoisted up onto Buh Buh's shoulders whilst on the top rope. Road Dogg
  then joins Bulldog and Rick Steiner by going through the table from a Top Rope Powerbomb.

  Team Extreme then leave the ring as EMTs rush down to help Road Dogg, Rick Steiner and the
  Bulldog.**

The last 'scheduled' match of the night was for the title shot against Steve Austin at the next
Pay Per View, ROYAL RUMBLE (21st January).

The bout didn't disappoint as the Rock and Triple H's intense rivalry was re-ignited.  Triple H
controled the match as the Rock was constantly distracted by Stephanie.  HHH wasn't able to put
Rocky down for the three though, as the People's champ showed great spirit to stay in this one.

But one mistake by Triple H allowed the Rock to get the Rock Bottom after Stephanie distracted
the official while HHH set up Rock for a pedigree.  Rock low-blowed the Game and hit the Rock
Bottom to get the win and the no#1 contendership.

Rocky Maivia pinned Hunter Hearst Helmsley with the Rock Bottom in 0:12:42.

**The APA music hits as Faarooq comes out with a huge bandage around his head. He gets straight
  into the ring and asks for a microphone.**

FAAR - DiBiase, Austin, get out here now! I got a proposition for you.

**The 'Million Dollar Theme' starts as they both come out.**

3:16 - What is it now?

$TED - You got your *laughs* payment earlier. You've got nothing to offer us but come on anyway.
       Let's hear it.

FAAR - Earlier tonight, you said that I was no good to your group. Well how about this.....I
       challenge Austin to a match right here and now for the WWF Heavyweight Championship.
       If you win then, I will work for you for FREE for as long as you want.

3:16 - No deal, you heard the Man earlier, you're no good to us.

$TED - Wait! That was when I had to pay for his services.....I could always use another member,
       especially a freebee. So when Austin wins, you will work for free for me and anything I
       say or do to you, will have to be final?

FAAR - Yes, now is it a deal or not?

$TED - OK sure, you got a deal. Steve......Make it quick. 

Faarooq started the match as an attempt to get his dignity back after Ted DiBiase cruelly fired
him from the MDGroup just a few days after he joined them.

But his head wound from earlier was too bad and after two minutes of offence from Faarooq, Steve
hit a DDT on him and opened up the wound again.

Austin was relentless and soon Faarooq was wide open as the Rattlesnake struck.  Steve Austin
put Faarooq down with the Sell Out Stunner soon after and the show ended with a close up on
Faarooq.  Faarooq was wearing a crimson mask as it faded to black.

Steve Austin pinned Faarooq with the Sell Out Stunner in 0:03:44.

(Steve Austin retained the WWF Heavyweight Title.)

Following the break up of the Dogg Pound, Davey Boy Smith has retired and gone back to England,
claiming he didn't expect to be back anytime soon.

His ex-team mates have also gone from the WWF.  Jesse James and Rick Stiener both asked for 
releases and they were granted.

Finally another man gone from the WWF is Faarooq.  After he lost the match he became DiBiase's
property, but Ted decided that "after Faarooq was beaten so easily by Austin, he had no need for
a low talent wrestler" in his group and fired him from the MDGroup for the second time tonight
but also from the WWF.
