RAW: 2/2/2004
Monday Night RAW was live from Penn State University, Pennsylvania. Raw starts with highlights of the HBK/HHH match from the Royal, with Austin's voice in the background from last week's RAW, where Austin called out Benoit. They briefly recap Benoit's return to RAW.
Welcome back to the Highlight Reel. Before he gets started, Jericho says he doesn't know why Bladewolf assaulted him and RVD last week, the guy's got a screw loose and isn't exactly sane but if he keeps messing with Y2J then he's gonna wish he was rotting in Hell. Back to business, tonight Jericho's guest has had more exposure than Janet Jackson's right boobie. His guest is Chris Benoit. Benoit comes out. Jericho congratulates him on winning the Royal Rumble. He said that Benoit is a genius for coming to RAW. Win the Rumble, come to RAW, beat HHH at WrestleMania. Jericho tells him that he's not only dealing with HHH, but he's dealing with Evolution and the biggest assclown, Eric Bischoff.
Benoit appreciates the warning, but he's well aware of those things. He's here to be the best, no one and he means no one is going to stop him from winning that world title at WrestleMania. If HHH feels a little different, he will have to prove him wrong. Jericho reminds him of the critics saying that Benoit can't win the big one. Jericho told him that people use to say the same thing about him, but he won the Undisputed championship. A lot of people think that Chris Benoit doesn't have it.
Jericho shows a small clip of Flair's interview backstage at the Rumble were he's saying he can't win the big one. Ric Flair's music hits and he comes out. Flair says "Is there something you don't understand?" "Chris Benoit, the most gifted technical wrestler of all time." Flair tells him to consider that a pat on the back. Flair said that in the real world, they call him runner-up, second best. Flair compliments HHH once again. Flair says "To be the man, you have to beat the man." Benoit says "You're absolutely right." But he will fight the man at WrestleMania. Then he challenges Ric Flair for a match tonight on RAW.
Eric Bischoff comes out. He tells Benoit to realize that he's not Paul Heyman. Bischoff tells Jericho to forget about the tag team #1 contendership match with him and Christian. Because it's going to be a Tag team title match now. Chris Jericho and Christian against Ric Flair and Batista tonight. Bischoff tells Benoit not to leave the ring because he's wrestling next.
*After commercial break*
The match begins. Benoit starts off by delivering a couple of chops. Henry knocks him down. Benoit fights back, then Henry hits him again. Henry works on Benoit's back. Clothesline by Mark Henry. Benoit fights back with a few chops to the chest, but Henry knocks him down again. Benoit takes down Henry by going after his knee. Benoit goes on the top rope and jumps, but that didn't take Henry down. Benoit finally takes him down and manages to apply the Crippler's crossface and gets the win.
Steve Austin is shown in the back. He sees Shawn Michaels. Austin says that HBK seems down because Benoit is on RAW and he thinks that he's not getting his title shot. Michaels says "Benoit won the Rumble, he's in and I am out." Austin says "You want a shot at the title, do something about it!"
They show highlights of Mick Foley's interview on RAW last week.
Mick Foley is shown in the back. Test confronts him and tells him that he has a lot of nerves for what he did at the Rumble. Foley says that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Then Randy Orton jumps Foley from behind and hits him with the IC title. Orton says that Foley is his bitch.
After the commercial break, it's Rene Dupree w/ Rob Conway vs. Rico w/ Miss Jackie
Rico slaps him on his ass. Rico takes him down and rides him like a horse. Rico is on the outside distracted by Conway, which allowed Dupree to jump him from behind. Back in the ring, Dupree is in control. Irish whip and down goes Rico. Take down by Dupree, and applies pressure on Rico's neck. Sleeper hold by Dupree. Rico tries to fight back, but Dupree knocks him back down. Dupree continues to apply pressure on the neck. Back to the sleeper. Rico fights back once again with a jaw breaker. Atomic drop, followed by a reverse elbow. Back body drop by Rico. Martial arts kick by Rico, 1,2 but Dupree kicked out. Reverse kick to the face of Dupree and Rico covers, but Dupree kicks out at the count of two. Stacey Keibler's music hits and she comes to the ring. Back to the match. Stacy gets up on the apron and lifts her skirt, which distracts Rene Dupree. This allowed Rico to deliver a kick and get the win.
After the match, Stacy takes the mircophone and says that if Playboy is looking for the best WWE divas, it's her and Jackie. Then they both start dancing.
Christian is talking to Trish backstage. He had a Rolling Stones magazine. He starts telling her some story about how some chick broke up the greatest band. He said that if it was him, he would have taken that skank and slammed her to the ground. He was basically referring to her getting between him and Jericho. Then he wishes luck with her match.
Trish makes her way to the ring. Then Bischoff is shown on the Titon Tron. Bischoff says that Trish isn't the #1 contender for the women's title. That match will not happen tonight. But he knows how much of a competitor she is. He has a match for her.
Trish stood there, confused until...
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud mixed reaction and the lights dim to a blood red and out comes the Bladewolf, making his way down the ramp to the ring. Trish was eyed wide with terror.
"Oh my God!" JR said. "How sick is Bischoff to put this demonic monster in a match with a young woman like Trish?! He's gonna kill her!"
"This is something I don't wanna see." Coachman shook his head.
"Bischoff can't be serious, right?!" Jerry asked. "this is not right! Get out of there Trish!"
"My God! This is a...this is a death wish for this young woman! This young woman is not Goldberg!" JR shouted.
Bladewolf climbs onto the ring apron and climbs over the top rope and enters the ring, reaching up to take off his metallic mask and tosses it aside before he takes off his jacket. He stares at Trish with those demonic hellfire eyes as she trembles in the corner as walks closer.
Trish tries to escape but Bladewolf grabs her legs and pulls her back into the middle of the ring and just stares down at her before he slowly gets to a knee, staring at the woman crying with terror.
"What is he doing?" Jerry asks.
"I...I don't know." JR shakes his head. "Coach, do you?"
"i have no idea. I'm just as lost as you guys." Coachman said.
Bladewolf reaches out slowly and places his gloved hand on Trish's cheek, almost caressing it before he ran his fingers through her hair. Trish wouldn't admit it but she liked the feeling and saw those demonic hellfire eyes soften for a brief second as he looked her over and she shyly covered her chest when his eyes went to her cleavage, something that seemed to amuse him.
"This is like some...Beauty and the Beast thing." Jerry said before Bladewolf suddenly grabs Trish by the throat. "Oh no!"
"No! No! He'll break her in half!" JR exclaimed.
Bladewolf gripped her throat, staring into her terror-filled eyes and looked ready to Chokeslam her when she reached up and touched the side of his masked face, causing him to pause as she caressed his cheek.
"Bladewolf remember! That's the woman you once loved!" Jerry shouted.
"Bladewolf, back when he was...human, loved Trish." JR nodded. "She joined Wolfpack with him and Jackal. But Bladewolf has become a demonic monster again, I don't think he feels human emotions."
"it's okay..." Trish said as she slowly reached for his mask, looking like she wanted to take it off and see his face.
Bladewolf's eyes, which softened at feeling ehr touch, hardened and with a roar he lifted her up for the Chokeslam.
"No! No! He's gonna do it!" Jerry shouted.
Jericho runs down the ramp, slides into the ring and attacks Bladewolf from behind, causing him to drop Trish and Jericho slugs it out with Bladewolf, going for the Codebreaker but Bladewolf boots him in the stomach.
"Oh! What a boot to the stomach!" JR exclaimed.
Bladewolf grabs Jericho and harshly tosses him back-first into the turnbuckles, causing Jericho to scream in pain before Bladewolf began stomping away on Jericho with hard, vicious stomps. Trish cries from ringside as she watches.
Bladewolf rolls out the ring and picks up a steel chair. "Oh no, that man is dangerous with a weapon in his hands." JR said.
"Jericho may be seeing the hospital tonight." Coachman said.
Bladewolf slides into the ring and...WHACKS JERICHO IN THE KNEE WITH THE CHAIR! Bladewolf unloads with chair shot after chair shot, causing Jericho to yell in pain as Bladewolf attacked Jericho's knees. Bladewolf drops the char and grabs Jericho by the throat before lifting him up...AND CHOKESLAMS HIM ONTO THE CHAIR!
"That's gotta hurt!" Coachman said.
Bladewolf stares down at Jericho before lifting his arms up and throws them down, causing four lightning bolts to hit the turnbuckles as his theme plays. He looks over at where Trish was and tilted his head as he stared at her before he leaves the ring and starts heading to the back.
"What a sick, twisted, evil man." Jerry said.
"This was all Eric Bischoff's idea, he's the one that out Trish into this situation." JR said as RAW goes to commercial break.
After the break, Trish Stratus checks up on Chris Jericho. Christian comes in and yells at Jericho for trying to play the hero on the night where they have a world tag team title shot. Christian tells Trish to get out of there because she's caused enough damage. Jericho gets in his face and tells him to shut up and not to talk to her like that. He tells him to worry about the tag team match for tonight.
Suddenly...BLADEWOLF ATTACKS CHRISTIAN FROM BEHIND! Christian went into Jericho who yells in pain when his knee got hurt. Bladewolf picks Christian up and tosses him into the wall sending him over a table then grabs Jericho by the throat and pulls him in close.
"She...will be...mine." He growls out as he glares at Jericho before lifting him up...AND HITS A CHOKESLAM ON THE FLOOR! Jericho groans on the floor as Bladewolf looks up to where Trish is cowering in the corner and he walks over to her. He stares down at her and puts his arms on either side of her before leaning in close and the sound of him inhaling through his nose behind the mask could be heard.
"You smell...good, Trish." he chuckles darkly. "Like a Goddess. A woman like you, as beautiful as you...should be called such. Make no mistake, Trish...my pathetic, human fake side may have loved you at some point...but that person is DEAD! However...I still desire you."
With that, he walks away, leaving Trish there breathing heavily with tears in her eyes.
"What a sicko." Jerry said.
In the arena, Kane's pyro goes off then his theme plays as the Big Red Monster makes his way down the ramp, as he will be facing the Bladewolf tonight. Ever since the Royal Rumble, Kane has been haunted by mind games of the Undertaker.
Kane enters the ring and does his pyro motion, waiting for his brother.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud mixed reaction and the lights dim to a blood red and out comes the Bladewolf, making his way down the ramp to the ring.
"And here comes the more sicker, twisted, and demonic younger brother of the Undertaker and Kane." JR said. "Earlier tonight, Eric Bischoff had this man try to torture Trish by putting them in a match together! It was thanks to Chris Jericho Trish was saved from harm, but from what we saw in the back...Bladewolf may have more than the urge to hurt Trish."
"What did he mean by 'desires her'?" Jerry asked. "As in..."
"Let's not go there, King." JR shakes his head. "Bladewolf does seem to have this dark desire for Trish though."
"Can you blame him, she has the beauty of a Goddess." Coachman said.
"Now tonight, Bladewolf faces his other demonic brother, Kane." JR said.
Bladewolf gets onto the ring apron and stares at Kane behind his metallic mask before he takes it off, then removes his jacket and tosses it aside then steps over the top rope and goes eye to eye with Kane as his theme dies down.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf strikes his brother witha hard right, then unloads with rights and lefts until he gets Kane into the corner and keeps up the assault, causing Kane to cover up until Bladewolf Irish whips him across the ring into the opposite corner then runs for a turnbuckle clothesline but is met with a big boot to the masked face that sends Bladewolf to a knee.
Bladewolf is grabbed by Kane and tossed into the corner where Kane unloads with some hard rights to the head, causing Bladewolf to cover up before he ducks a right, grabs Kane from behind and hits a German Suplex across the ring. Bladewolf gets to a knee and stares at his brother before getting to both feet and watches his brother recover from the suplex.
"Kane recovering from that suplex." JR said. "And Bladewolf, wonder what he must be thinking with Kane and these signs of the Undertaker's return."
"Well, last November you heard him say he didn't care, he despises his older brother for becoming human." Jerry said.
Kane gets to his feet only to be met with a knee to his stomach then he's pushed into the corner where Bladewolf unloads with lefts and rights once more before he backs up then runs at Kane but Kane hits a clothesline and goes for the cover but Bladewolf kicks out at two.
Kane gets to his feet, rebounds off the ropes and hits a running elbow drop on his brother's chest and goes for the cover but again Bladewolf kicks out at two. Kane grabs his brother and tosses him out of the ring. Kane follows him and grabs his brother, bouncing his masked skull off the barricade which sends Bladewolf down to a knee, before Kane grabs him and tosses him into the barricade.
"Kane now dominating here." Coachman said.
Bladewolfgets to his feet like it was nothing then tackles Kane into the ring apron, causing him to let out a yell of pain before Bladewolf uppercuts him then Irish whips him straight into the steel steps. Bladewolf shakes his head before he grabs Kane and tosses him back into the ring and follows him, raising his right hand, signalling a Chokeslam is looming.
Kane gets to his feet and turns around...INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts him up...AND PLANTS KANE WITH A CHOKESLAM! Bladewolf started doing the cutthroat taunt when suddenly the lights go off and a big lightning bolt hits the ring. Highlights of the Buried Alive match were shown on the TitanTron with the blue lights.
Kane is on his knees, staring wide eyed as the lights come back on. Bladewolf looks indifferent at the issues between his older brothers. Kane gets to his feet and turns around only to be lifted up, held upside down...AND PLANTED WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! Bladewolf crosses the arsover the chest for the pin! ONE! TWO! THREE! BLADEWOLF BEATS KANE!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Undertaker's music hits and a lot of smoke in the ring appears. Bladewolf leaves and heads to the back. Kane is in the ring acting all scared with all the smoke around him. Then they cut to commercial.
Later
It's Ric Flair & Batista (c's) vs. Chris Jericho & Christian for the World Tag Team Championship.
Match starts with Christian and Ric Flair. Both men lock up, Flair takes him down, Christian reverses and backs Flair into the ropes. Both men lock up again, Christian takes down Flair, Flair gets back up, but Christian applies an abdominal stretch. Christian hits a big back body drop on Flair and only gets a two count. Batista gets the tag and he takes down Christian right away.
Batista drops a few elbows on Christian followed by a big bodyslam. Flair gets the tag and he launches Christian into the corner. Flair hits a few chops in the corner followed by so hard rights and lefts. Jericho gets the tag and he hits some chops of his own on Flair. Jericho hits two big clotheslines on Flair, Batitsa hits the ring,
Jericho ducks an attack from him and hits a big dropkick. Jericho goes for a pin on Flair, but Batista breaks it up. Jericho and Christian clothesline Batista to the outside. Christian hits a cross-body on Batista while Flair takes down Jericho with a big bulldog. Jericho attempts a Lionsault, but lands on his injured leg. Flair attempts the Figure Four, but Jericho countered out and locked on the Walls of Jericho.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The sudden wolf howl made Jericho release Flair from the Walls of Jericho and he stares at the stage as if expecting Bladewolf to come out. Four lightning bolts hit the turnbuckles, causing Jericho to freak out. Batista slides into the ring...AND SPEARS JERICHO! Batista rolls out the ring as Flair locks on the Figure Four. Jericho tries to fight out of it, but ends up tapping out to give Evolution the win.
Evolution's theme plays as Batista and Flair celebrate their win. Bladewolf appears on the Titantron, chuckling darkly and it soon turns into demonic laughter as RAW goes to commercial break.
That's it for this chapter folks, I hope you like the demonic mind games Bladewolf is beginning to play with Chris, costing him his match and such.
