Sister of Darkness II
The last Raw is War before Wrestlemania 15 takes place in the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York.
Fireworks scream and explode on the entrance ramp, the camera soars past a jacked up crowd.
Michael Cole greeted, "We are just 6 days away from the grand daddy of them all, Wrestlemania 15 on pay-per-view! We are live in the sold out Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York as we get ready for the biggest night in Raw history. Tonight the main event at Wrestlemania may be in jeopardy, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The 'Big Show' Paul Wight!" The Corporation theme suddenly hits and the WWF Champion, The Rock, Vince and Shane McMahon walk to the ring.
Tony Chimel announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the principle owner of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr. McMahon!" The trio enter the ring and Vince retrieves a microphone while his son showed the WWF European Championship.
Vince said, "Yes, it is indeed a privilege to stand before you tonight between the two greatest WWF champions. Two champion who'll walk in at Wrestlemania as title holders and likewise out of the ring after Wrestlemania is over as champions as well."
Michael Cole stated plainly, "They hope."
The Chairman went on, "Personally I would like to give the floor to the European Champion, my son Shane." He hands the microphone to his son.
Shane said, "Everybody knows that I can take X-Pac because I got his number. And at Wrestlemania, in just 6 days from now, it's going to be my honor and privilege to embarrass you in this very ring. However, with permission of course, X-Pac I can't wait that long because X-P-A-C, if you got the guts I am challenging you to my world, a street fight and not just an ordinary street fight, a Greenwich Street Fight out in the open here in New York tonight!" Vince was surprised at this deceleration but he got the microphone back.
The WWF Chairman cried, "Well, as you can see the McMahon family is pretty confident. As well as we should be. Another reason we are is that our family is very secured. And Undertaker when you arrive here at Albany tonight, you are going to be very, very busy with the Big Boss Man and others. You see, I have this all figured out. The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Angel are conspiring together. They've tried to divide my attention so that I wouldn't promote the proper amount of attention to prevent Stone Cold Steve Austin or Angel from becoming the WWF Champion. Nothing will stop me from my appointed rounds. With that in mind, ladies and gentlemen he is the most electrifying WWF Champion, he is The Rock!" The middle-aged man hands the mic to the champion.
The Brahma Bull promised, "As you know, Vince that by looking into The Rock's eyes that he is ready. Stone Cold Steve Austin we are 6 days away before The Rock goes to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Rock's home away from home without shadow of a doubt end the biggest piece of Texas trailer park trash walking, Stone Cold Steve Austin!" Little does he know that the Rattlesnake's watching this from a monitor backstage and they saw it from the Titantron, "Well, it's not surprising that you are watching from back there, Stone Cold Steve Austin because there is something about The Rock that draws you to him. There is an awe that you cannot wait to go one on one with yours truly. Stone Cold Steve Austin, the fact of the matter is that when it's all said and done, when all The Rock's smoke cleared there is no way and The Rock means no way that Stone Cold Steve Austin will beat The Rock to become the WWF Champion!"
Vince took over, "Now as far as tonight is concerned, 6 days from Wrestlemania, many of you are saying, "Wait a minute this isn't fair, Austin has to take on the Big Show in this ring" and you are right. It's not fair. So therefore, to make sure that Austin is six feet under, to make sure that everything is fair tonight I am appointing a special guest referee for the Stone Cold/Big Show match and that referee will be The Rock!" Their celebration gets cut short when Mankind's music and the deranged one emerges from behind the curtain.
Mankind said, "That's a good idea, Vince but you see I got a better one. Seeing as how I am the best referee there is, the best referee there was and the best referee there ever will be, I suggest that The Rock and I get inside that ring tonight with the winner becoming the special guest referee for tonight's main event between Stone Cold Steve Austin and the 'Big Show' Paul Wight. What do you say, Vince?"
The salt and pepper-haired man replied, "Mick, I think you've drunk too many brews with Stone Cold in the back."
Ignoring the comment, Mankind asked, "So what do you say, Rock? One more match for old-time sake? The Great One, that's you and me, the testicular one, getting it on one more time. What do you say, champ?"
The WWF Champion said, "Well the Great One contemplated that, The Rock says you can kiss his ass."
Mankind retorted, "Hey Rock, I gave up that roulette but he thought you'd say that and Vince he also thought that you would place The Rock as the special guest referee for the main event." He pulled a contract out of his shirt, "So what I did is head to San Antonio, Texas and I got Commissioner Michaels to sign, seal and deliver a contract saying that in that ring there will indeed be a match between The Rock and Mankind. And the winner will referee the main event between the Big Show and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If you smell what the Sock is cooking!" He pulls out Mr. Socko to emphasize it and Mankind retreats under his music.
The Corporation share their disdain over this development.
Vince ordered, "Alright, cut the music. I'm sure Shawn Michaels is having his fun down in San Antonio, Texas as Commissioner. That's alright. But Rock, you don't mind one more time tearing Mankind apart, do you?"
The champion answered, "Matter of fact The Rock will lay the smackdown on his candy ass!"
Vince added, "Much similar to the Greenwich Street Fight that we are going to see in Albany, check it out." The sound of shattered glass blares through the PA system and Austin drives a beer truck down the isle and stops near the ring. The Rattlesnake stands on top of the cargo holder with a microphone.
Austin said, "If you're ready for Wrestlemania, give me a 'Hell Yeah'!" The fans did just that and he resumed, "You damn right because Stone Cold Steve Austin has been shoved around long enough! And I will say this. With Paul Wight as the special referee or without him, it don't matter because that belt is coming with me and that's all I got to say about that! For the last few weeks... Shut your little lips or I'll knock your glasses off. For the last few weeks, I come out here and listen to you spewing your little nursery rhymes about Jabroni Avenue or Know Your Role Blvd, Jesus Christ, son you better get your ass serious because Stone Cold Steve Austin is gonna take his ass to Philadelphia, check right in to the Smackdown Hotel, roll right in to room 316 and burn that son of a bitch to the ground. Take your little glasses off so I can see your eyes, son. Pull them off because I want to see you. When that bell rings and the match is over, you are looking at the next WWF Champion and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so!" He hopped down to the hood, "As far as now goes, the big celebration afterward Stone Cold's gonna drink a lot of beer but I think I'd share a bit of pre-match beer right now." Sliding off the hood, Austin rolls out a hose and proceeds to give Vince, Shane and The Rock a beer bath. It goes on for about 3 minutes and Austin finally relents, stepping on the second turnbuckle to raise his arms over his head.
In her locker room, Angel's laughing her ass off, rolling around on the floor for added effect. Kane chuckles behind his masked man while shaking his head at the same time.
Angel said, "Oh man, my...my ribs are killing me! Call a doctor, Kane. Ha ha ha ha ha!" She eventually calms down enough to watch Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett defend their WWF Tag-Team Championship belts against Edge and Gangrel of the Brood.
Debra's music hit and the Tag-Team Champions stepped out as Tony Chimel announced, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Wrestling Federation Tag-Team Championship. Introducing first. Making their way to the ring, accompanied by Debra, at a combined weight of 477 pounds, they are the World Wrestling Federation Tag-Team Champions, Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett." They enter the ring and the Brood's eerie music plays next.
The lights turn a flashing red and fog hugs the ground. Edge, Gangrel and Christian strut to the ring and Gangrel walks up the steel steps, drinks the cup of blood and spews it out followed by removing his sunglasses. Edge removed his trench coat and sunglasses while Christian remains at ringside.
Referee Tim White signals for the match to begin as Gangrel punches Owen to the mat. Owen reverses an Irish Whip and nails the vampire with a spinning heel kick. Grabbing a handful of blonde hair, Owen hammers away on Gangrel in the corner. The vampire reverses an Irish whip into the opposing turnbuckle and catches Owen in a belly to belly suplex immediately after the Canadian bounces off. Gangrel brings in his partner.
Edge sends Owen into the ropes and catches him in a powerslam pin combo, Owen kicks out at 2. Hart reverses the Irish whip and performs a belly to belly suplex of his own and tags Jarrett in. The blonde-haired Canadian sends Edge into the ropes and grabs the man's legs, sending Edge to his back and Jarrett performs a diving fist drop then Hart steps out. Jarrett sends Edge into the ropes and sets to do a military press but Edge counters with a body slam, Jarrett backs up in the corner and stops Edge with an elbow to the temple and knocks Gangrel off his feet. After landing a couple of blows, one half of the WWF Tag-Team Champions performs an Irish whips that Edge reverses and seeks to grab him for possibly a body slam. Referee Tim White prevents Gangrel from interfering and Christian slips in behind his back and performs a double-team sidewalk slam. Christian takes Edge's place and hooks the leg for a 2 count. Tim White didn't see him come in so he didn't call for the bell.
Christian executes an Irish whip but Jeff Jarrett reverses it, using the momentum to slam his leg into the fellow blonde's gut then jumps to have the arms bounce off both of his knees. Christian returns to his feet and rests against the turnbuckle before Jarrett sends him to the opposing one and follows him in but Christian kicks his feet up to stop him.
Gangrel distracts the referee to allow Edge to climb the turnbuckle and do a diving crossbody and hooks the leg but Owen Hart makes the safe. Suddenly the lights go out and the Brood's eerie music played, when the lights return the Brood was gone and Debra received a blood bath courtesy of the trio.
In the Corporation's locker room, Shane McMahon was busy gearing up for his Greenwich Street Fight with X-Pac.
Vince said to his son, "Take out your frustration on X-Pac."
Shane replied, "Oh, I plan on doing it Greenwich style. Bang! Bang!"
Vince turned to his two stooges, "What are you doing?"
Pat Patterson answered, "Anything you want, Mr. McMahon."
Vince ordered, "I could use a cup of coffee right about now."
Pat Patterson nodded, "Roger that, sir. Nice and hot." Gerald Brisco follows him out the door.
Shane said, "The title smells like beer, everything does. Ugh!" The Championship vs. Championship Match between the New Age Outlaws ended in a no contest when Goldust, Al Snow and Val Venis attack them but the New Age Outlaws were able to clear the ring of them.
Backstage, Pat Patterson finishes getting Vince his cup of coffee but drops it when he spots Legion of Doom members Hawk and Animal coming towards them and then pounce on them in response to Brisco and Patterson attempting to pose as them for Shane's match last week until Angel took their place.
Out in the Pepsi Arena, the Blue Meanie makes his way to the ring with a steel chair in hand. He slides in and asks for a microphone.
He said, "Cut the music. Hey, Shamrock! Shamrock, I am sick and tired of you sticking your nose in our business! It's pretty obvious to me that the World Wrestling Federation is not big enough for us both. So tonight is where the Blue Meanie takes a stand. That's right, Shamrock I am calling you out!"
Michael Cole asked, "What?"
Jerry the "King" Lawler laughed, "Heh heh, he got a death wish or something?"
The Blue Meanie demanded, "So if you got the guts, Shamrock, you come down that aisle, step through these ropes and get the spanking you deserve!" Ken Shamrock's music plays but instead of getting him, Blue Meanie gets his sister, Ryan Shamrock.
The beautiful young woman enters the ring and Blue Meanie sits down, grabs Ryan and was about to spank her on live TV when Ken Shamrock runs down the aisle. Blue Meanie releases his sister and grabs the chair, ready to smack Ken with it.
Goldust slides into the ring and attacks Ken from behind but the World's Most Dangerous Man quickly turns the tide, nailing Goldust with an elbow to the jaw and chaining it with a belly to belly suplex. He applies the Ankle Lock and the Blue Meanie strikes Shamrock in the back then does some trash talk. Goldust rolls out of the ring and Ryan Shamrock and Blue Meanie help him walk up the aisle toward backstage. A minute later, Ken recovers from the chair shot and chases after them.
Next up was Sable taking on Ivory.
Sable's music and the sexy blonde-haired woman advances to the squared circle and steps through the second rope. Tony Chimel offers the microphone to her.
Sable said, "This is for all the women who want to be me and the men who come to see me!" She seductively swayed her hips and Jerry Lawler loved it a lot. Sable returns Chimel's mic.
Ivory's music played and Tony Chimel said, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, accompanied by D-Lo Brown, Ivory!" D-Lo opens the ropes for Ivory and the brown-haired woman enters. He next heads over to the announce table for commentary.
The referee calls for the bell and Ivory bounces up and down ready to get her hands on Sable but the blonde-haired bombshell does the "shoo-shoo" gesture. When Ivory charges at her, Sable steps halfway out of the ring causing the referee to pull Ivory back.
Teri and Jacqueline of PMS make their way down and over to the announce table.
Sable performs a snapmare on Ivory from out of the corner and suddenly a bell tolls, plunging the arena into darkness. When the lights return Angel stands in the ring.
Michael Cole exclaimed, "My god, King! That's Angel! What is the Women's Champion doing out here?" Angel proceeds to attack both Ivory and Sable, forcing the referee to call for the bell. Angel chokeslams Sable then switches her attention to Ivory. She picks the woman up and drops Ivory on her head in a Tombstone. PMS decides to get involved and try a double-team on Angel but the attack has no effect on the WWF Women's Champion. Angel whips around and executes a double chokeslam on them. She lays her eyes on D-Lo when she senses him stepping on the apron. Brown found himself frozen in place by those cold green eyes. Angel vanishes from sight after the lights went out.
The Ministry of Darkness walk through a dark hallway somewhere backstage.
Next up was Mankind vs. The Rock to see who will be the special guest referee for the main event match.
Mankind's music hit and Tony Chimel said, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and to decide the referee for tonight's main event. Introducing first the challenger, he weights in at 287 pounds, Mankind!" The deranged man entered and The Rock's music hit, "And his opponent. From Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, The Rock!" The Brahma Bull takes his time approaching the ring and steps on the second turnbuckle, raising his championship belt over his head.
The Rock takes off his sunglasses and tosses them before stepping in the ring and hand the WWF Championship to referee Tim White, who hands it to the stagehand at ringside then calls for the bell.
Rock starts off throwing right hands at Mankind and even punches him off the apron. He steps out of the ring and continues the attack, bouncing the masked man's face off the apron then lands lefts and rights. Mankind reverses an Irish whip and the WWF Champion collides with the ring steps. He rolls in to break the count then come back out and Rock clotheslines him before stomping on the challenger. Mankind possibly absent-mindlessly grabs a steel chair then the champion punches him, causing Mankind to drop the chair in favor of using the steel steps to keep his balance. Rock lifts the chair over his head in preparation to hit the deranged man but referee Tim White pulls it out of Rock's hands. This allows Mankind to regain his wits and knock the WWF Champion down then bounce Rock's face off the English announce table. The masked man hammers away at the champion then brings him over to suplex the Brahma Bull on the thin-padded floor but Rock counters it and Mankind's back collides with the floor. Both men re-enter the ring and Mankind gestures the WWF Champion to bring it, Rock doesn't disappoint when he punches the challenger in the corner and Irish whips him to the opposing turnbuckle and follows him in but Mankind thwarts with an elbow to the temple. He exits the corner and body slams the WWF Champion and sets him up for "Mr. Elbow" as Michael Cole called it but The Rock rolls out of the way. Incensed of the fact that his opponent tried to use his own signature move against him, Rock chokes him against the second rope then bounces Mankind's head off the turnbuckle pad. The 287 pounder uses a low blow to make the champion stop his attack and Tim White doesn't disqualify him. Mankind charges at Rock with a running high knee to the gut followed by a right hand. Rock pulls Mankind's feet out from under him and returns the favor with a low blow of his own. Grabbing a handful of brown hair, he throws Mankind out to ringside. After bouncing the masked man's face off the announce table, he snatched Michael Cole's headset.
He said arrogantly, "The Rock is laying the smackdown on his roody poo candy ass!" Mankind surprises him with a clothesline so hard that it knocks the headset off, the masochist punches at the champion's face then rolls the arrogant champion back into the ring.
Michael Cole puts his headset back on.
Mankind Irish whips Rock into the ropes and lowers his head for a back body drop but Rock counters with a kick and a clothesline. He stomps away then switches to right hands when Mankind starts to get up. He sends Mankind to the ropes and lowers his head for a back body slam and Mankind counters with a swinging neck breaker. He gives Rock a taste of his own medicine of assaulting someone in the corner then aims for the opposing turnbuckle but Rock stops mid-way and ducks so that Mankind accidentally clothesline Tim White. Rock plants his opponent with a DDT, he next goes for a cover but the official's been knocked out. The WWF Champion Irish Whips the opponent, Mankind ducks a series of clotheslines then counters with a double under hook DDT. He goes for a cover of his own but Tim White's still out. Mankind pulls out Mr. Socko and puts him on in preparation for the Mandible Claw, unaware that Paul Wight's approaching. He turns around and clocks the giant before returning his attention to The Rock. The WWF Champion nails him in the temple and sends Mankind to the waiting hand of Paul Wight for a chokeslam. Fortunately, Tim White recovers in time and sees the giant chokeslamming Mankind prompting him to call for the bell.
Tony Chimel announced, "The winner of this match as a result of disqualification, Mankind!" Paul Wight couldn't believe he screwed up.
Mankind obtains a steel chair and enters the ring to nail The Rock but the champion escapes. He begins accusing Paul Wight of costing him the match.
Somewhere in the equipment area, the giant kicks stuff.
Back in the Pepsi Arena, the lights go out and Burned plays. Moments later, flames erupt on the entrance ramp and Kane walks out under the eerie red light. The crimson red demon steps over the top rope and slowly brings up his arms then throws them back down causing fire to spew from the ring posts. He turns his attention to the top of the aisle, waiting for Goldust to come out. The Bizarre One's music plays and Goldust comes out and makes his way to the squared circle and enters through the second rope. With his back turned, Goldust pulls out a flamethrower and shoots Kane in the face, the big man collapses.
His mask took the brunt of the assault but his mismatched eyes still received scorching heat.
It turns out to be Triple H disguised as Goldust. He removes the hood and wig and stomps away on Kane. Referee Teddy Long tries to get Hunter to stop but the co-founder of DX refuses. He spots Angel marching down the aisle and escapes just as she enters the ring. She glares at the retreating blonde-haired man with such intensity that it'd make even the strongest of men cower in fear.
Angel helps her brother to the locker room and makes him sit down, removing his mask. She hands him a bottle of water that he automatically accepts, dousing his eyelids with soothing cold water.
Kane seethed, "That son of a bitch is gonna pay for this! Damn, my eyes are burning!"
Angel said, "Save your anger for this Sunday. You'll need it when we face Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett for the WWF Tag-Team Championship." She turns her head to see a group of guys attack X-Pac during his Greenwich Street Fight with Shane McMahon then the camera switches to the Undertaker rolling his eyes back.
Kane empties nearly the entire water bottle by the time the burning sensation stops plaguing his eyes and puts his mask back on.
Next on the card was a 6-Man Tag-Team Match between the Corporation and the Ministry of Darkness.
Out in the arena, the Corporation them hit as Tony Chimel said, "The 6-Man Tag-Team contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, the principle owner of the World Wrestling Federation, Mr. McMahon!" However, the WWF Chairman isn't with Ken Shamrock, Test and the Big Boss Man, obviously more concerned about Paul Wight's match with Stone Cold Steve Austin a bit later.
The Bells and Thunder theme plays and the lights go out, blue fog and light follow. The Undertaker leads the Acolytes to the ring and the Deadman walks up the steel steps, rolling his eyes back to return the lights.
The referee signals for the bell and the match gets underway. Test and Shamrock deal with the Acolytes out at ringside while Boss Man faces the Phenom inside the ring.
The corporate enforcer knocks Undertaker down with the nightstick but the Demon of Death Valley sits up. Big Boss Man Irish whips him into the ropes, Undertaker avoids the clothesline and performs a leaping clothesline, knocking the 6'6, 290 pound man off his feet. Once Boss Man gets up, Undertaker lands swift lefts and rights then sends him out of the ring.
Suddenly Dark Side starts play and the lights go out, catching everyone's attention. Flames explode at the top of the aisle and purple fog and lighting fill the Pepsi Arena.
Angel and Kane step out causing the fans to go nuts as they approach the ring. They both attack the Corporation and Undertaker signals for the Acolytes to not interfere. Angel easily manhandles Ken Shamrock with the steel steps and Kane does the same with Test, chokeslamming the man on the thin-padded floor. The Big Boss Man isn't spared of the siblings' wrath Kane Tombstones him. With those guys out of the way, Kane and Angel look at Undertaker and the crowd wonders what they are gonna do. What happens next takes everyone by surprise, Angel goes to one knee and does the Undertaker salute as Kane conjures fire from the ring posts, swearing their allegiance to the satanic Lord of Darkness. Happy over the fact that his younger siblings have joined his Ministry of Darkness, Undertaker gestures Angel to rise. The Ministry of Darkness heads for their locker room.
After returning from a commercial break, Micheal Cole said, "I can't believe what we just saw moments ago, King. Angel and Kane have joined the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness!"
Jerry Lawler nodded, "Yeah, I lost my voice for a moment. I can't help but wonder if the three were in cahoots this whole time. Now that Angel and Kane have sided with the Undertaker, I don't think Mr. McMahon can stop him from taking over the World Wrestling Federation!" When they returned to the Ministry of Darkness' locker room, the other members look at the newest recruits with awe and curiosity.
Edge and Christian study Angel's appearance they admit that she's beautiful and talented as they have seen some of her matches.
Undertaker said, "You have made the right decision, my siblings. Together the World Wrestling Federation shall tremble beneath us."
Angel replied, "Yes, big brother. However, there is one request that I want to speak freely of."
The Phenom crossed his arms, "And what would that be?"
Angel said, "Kane only takes orders from me during our time with your ministry. He's told me that you and Paul Bearer have tried sending him to an asylum late last year, Undertaker. That is forbidden, am I clear?" She gives him a smile that promises unimaginable pain if he didn't comply with her demand, the others feel a shiver run down their spines from that smile. Undertaker remains unaffected he sees Angel only a beginner in the realm of mind games that he is a master of.
Nevertheless he replied, "Sounds fair. But remember, he is your responsibility."
Angel nodded, "I understand. Now then, let's watch the main event. I am curious to see how Mankind will officiate the match." They turn on the TV in time to hear Mankind's music play.
Tony Chimel announced, "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Please welcome the special referee for this match, Mankind!" The masked man walks to the ring, returning high-fives to the fans and enters the ring elated of the fact that he's going to referee this upcoming match.
Jerry Lawler made his displeasure known, "I can't believe that Mankind is the guest referee for the main event. I am sure Shawn Michaels is watching this from his home."
The Corporation them played and Chimel resumed, "Introducing the challengers. First, being accompanied by the World Wrestling Federation Champion, The Rock, weighing in at 500 pounds, representing the Corporation, Paul Wight!" The giant stepped over the rope and Austin's music played next, "From Victorian, Texas, weighing in at 252 pounds, Stone Cold Steve Austin!" The Texas Rattlesnake struts to the ring, teasing Vince by causing the Chairman to head over to the announce table, Austin enters the ring and stands on the second rope, raising his arms over his head.
He removes his vest and exchanges words with The Rock before giving him the finger.
The bell sounds and both combatants come to the middle of the ring, Paul Wight towers over the number 1 contender for the WWF Championship and Austin flips the giant off.
Paul Wight throws a right hand that Austin ducks and punches the 500 pounder to the corner before attempting to Irish whip Paul to the opposing turnbuckle but the giant displays his incredible strength in reversing their positions. Austin uses his agility to avoid a massive forearm and counters with right hands and tries another Irish whip but Paul Wight brings his power into play, reversing their positions again. He slams one of his massive palms against Stone Cold's chest twice, talking trash to the Rattlesnake as he throws kicks to the gut. He next chokes Austin with his boot despite Mankind beginning the 5 count and Austin hits a low blow, rolling out of the ring to pull Wight's feet out from under him making the whole ring shake. Paul shows great leg strength by pushing Austin over the security barricade and steps out to pursue, Austin pokes the giant's eyes and starts retaliating. Paul Wight holds Austin in the air and Mankind jumps off the apron for an axe handle to make Wight let go. The Rock and Vince McMahon saw it and wonder what Mankind was doing.
'That was payback from earlier tonight.' Mankind thought.
Paul Wight enters the ring and diverts his attention to the referee, little does he know that Austin slides into the ring and starts undoing the turnbuckle pad before walking over, whipping his opponent around and throwing right hands before bringing the huge man over to smash Wight's head on the exposed steel but Paul Wight blocks it. Austin doesn't allow the giant to counter, elbowing him in the gut and switches to right hands before going for the Stunner but Paul Wight escapes it pushing the Rattlesnake face first into the steel. Austin bounces off and Paul Wight executes a standing elbow drop and goes for the first cover of the match but Austin kicks out at 2.
Paul told Mankind, "Count faster."
Mankind answered back, "I am counting." Wight shoves him and Mankind lands a right hand before Austin takes over driving his fists into the man's face before attempting the Stunner but Paul Wight counters, lifting the 252 pounder up and drops him on his back. He sends the Rattlesnake into the ropes and nails him with a big boot, the bald Texan rolls out of the ring and wobbles on spaghetti legs before collapsing. He climbs to the apron and Paul Wight knocks him off with a head butt. Mankind follows the giant out of the ring as Paul Wight drives his forearm against Austin's back. The 500 pounder lifts him up over his head and drops Austin to the concrete floor. He hoists the Rattlesnake up on his shoulder and charges toward the ring post but Austin gets off and Wight's face crashes into the steel but it doesn't faze him. He Irish whips Austin into the ring post and succeeds in making him bounce off it.
Mankind picks up a steel chair and warns Paul Wight to get in the ring or he'll use the chair on him. The 500 pounder executes a nasty knife-edge chop before rolling Austin into the ring and entering himself. Stone Cold rolls out of the way of a standing elbow drop and Austin pounces, stomping and dropping elbows on the back of Paul Wight's head. The 27-year old reverses an Irish whip and catches his opponent in a bear hug. Mankind tells the timekeeper not to ring the bell. Stone Cold fights his way out and runs into the ropes for a counter attack but gets caught in the bear hug again. Mankind lifts Austin's arm once, no reaction. Raises it again, no response but the third time around, Austin shows signs of life battling his way to freedom and runs into the ropes, avoiding a right hand and takes Paul Wight down with a crossbody. He covers him and Mankind starts the 3 count and Wight kicks out at 2 with authority, nearly sending Austin out of the ring. Frustrated that the giant can't be taken down by normal means, Austin grabs the chair and starts hitting Paul Wight's leg twice and his head 3 times and would've done it a fourth time if The Rock had not interfere. The WWF Champion avoids the chair and Austin returns his attention to the dazed opponent, successfully connecting the Stunner. He hooks the leg and picks up the victory.
Tony Chimel announced, "Here's your winner, Stone Cold Steve Austin!" Paul Wight gets up from the Stunner and goes after Mankind while the WWF Champion tries to attack a vulnerable Rattlesnake but Austin swiftly counters throwing punches and makes The Rock eat a Stunner. Stone Cold steps on the second turnbuckle and raises his arms over his head.
With the show over, Angel heads for her hotel room, after showering and changing into her sleepwear she rubs her hands in anticipation for this Sunday.
A/N: Chapter 13 done.
Angel has made her decision on who she's siding with: The Ministry of Darkness but not without a stipulation.
Stone Cold Steve Austin gives Rock, Vince and Shane a beer bath, which was hilarious to me.
Mankind won his match against The Rock by DQ after Paul Wight chokeslammed him, earning Mankind the opportunity to referee the match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Paul Wight.
I'm excited for the Money in the Bank PPV because Rob Van Dam will be returning for the first time in 4 years and will be one of the guys competing in the Raw Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Read and review.
Stay tuned for chapter 14.
