July Week 4, Year 1

This Raw looks like an episode of Heat with the matches that were booked. It's not happening two weeks in a row.

Raw

Match 1. Hardcore Holly vs. Boss Man vs. Test vs. Mankind   WWF Hardcore Championship

These four wasted little time introducing weapons into the match. There was a replica title, garbage can, mop, sledgehammer, and a chair. Test and Holly were fighting in the ring while Mankind and Boss Man were on the outside. Boss Man hit Mankind with a spinning slam and won.

Match 2. Finals - Val Venis vs. Kurt Angle

The winner faces Shamrock at the PPV. Val busted Angle open with a DDT. Val then landed a suplex and a powerbomb, but Angle kicked out of the pin and hit the Angle Slam.

Random match, but I hope this furthers the Big Show/Bret Hart story. Sexay and Show hit Hart with two double chokeslams. Scotty ran down and attacked Big Show to help his partner. Sexay then hit Show with a   full nelson face buster. Show kicked out, but he received a falling neck breaker to pull off the upset.
