Wait, the Undertaker is taking on who at the Pay Per View? In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys wince at the go-home Monday Night Raw, leading into the In Your House: It's Time Pay Per View.  The Handicap Match between the "Real Double J" Jesse James, Justin Bradshaw, and Uncle Zebekiah doesn't get any pops, but Goldust and Bart Gunn were serviceable.
