RAW is WAR: 3/5/1999

RAW is WAR was live at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California. The RAW intro video plays then the fireworks go off.

"Hello again, everybody and welcome to RAW is WAR!" JR greeted those watching at home. "We are live from the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California." Suddenly the Corporate Ministry theme hits. "Oh no."

Last Thursday was the pilot episode of SmackDown where Shane McMahon merged his corporation with the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness to form the Cororate Ministry and they wrecked havoc that night with Undertaker swearing his revenge on Bladewolf for defying him on RAW last week.

"You know, JR, Jim Cornette couldn't have said it better. This is a merger straight from Hell!" Jerry Lawler said. "Look at this, the Corporate Ministry! Did you ever think at some point in your life you would see a consolidation like this?"

"The most destructive force in the World Wrestling Federation, right here in front of your eyes! And based on Shane McMahon's actions and his words to his own father, there would be severe repercussions right here tonight on RAW!" JR said.

By now the group had entered the ring and Shane got a microphone to speak. "The Corporate Ministry...the most dominant force ever created in the World Wrestling Federation. I won't be held responsible for those foolish enough to get in any one of their faces. Many of you are saying that Shane McMahon is ruthless. Many of you say Shane McMahon has a black heart. That Shane has no compassion and that's where I draw the line because I understand what compassion is all about. I understand what compassion is for all of you. I don't expect you to know what that is from me because none of you can walk in my boots. But compassion...I can only imagine what it's like to live from paycheck to paycheck. I can only imagine what it's like to go down to a liquor store, get the cheapest bottle of Vodka and drown your sorrows away ever Friday night."

"What is it like, JR?" Lawler asks.

"I can only imagine: Oh my God, I hate my boss, I hate my life, I hate my wife. But there's a word compassionate people like myself call people like you...and that word is losers! Me, however, has it all! I got the looks, I got the money, and I got the brain power! How many of you could ever fathom the responsibility I have? The power I have in my hand? And whether it be Vince, the Bladewolf, Stone Cold Steve Austin or the Rock, it feels good to reach out and seize that power! To have that destiny in my hands, I can take it and crush it any time I want! How many of you have the balls the size of grapefruits to slap your maker in the face? Not a single one!"

The crowd booed loudly as he handed the microphone to Triple H. "Rock, or should I say Crock? Because that's what you are, a Crock, a big farce! At Over the Edge, your fate is in my hands. You know, these...people call you the People's Champion. That speaks volumes about each and every one of you. The way you worship this piece of crap! Why? Because he can raise an eyebrow and drop a little elbow. He stays up all night thinking up catchphrases and marketing clothes for every one of you? Well, you keep coming out here, Rock, and you sing your little songs and do your comedy routine. Well Rock, at Over the Edge there's gonna be nothing funny about the way i end your career!"

Shane McMahon grins as he hands the microphone to the Undertaker next. "It's real simple: i hate everyone but little brother...your name now at the top of the list. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you defy me? You come out here and try to be everyone's saviour. Let me tell you something, little brother...I let you go your own way, I even thought we'd be able to co-exist, same with Kane once you reunited with him and was planning on bringing you two into this group but that's not gonna happen because now I'm not gonna play the saviour...I am the role of executioner. Let me tell you what's going to happen at No Mercy in the UK. First, I'm gonna take your title. Second, I'm gonna beat you like you have never been beaten before. And third...after I beat you, after I've taken your title, I am going to take your broken carcass, put you over my shoulder and walk out the arena with you and take you to Monday Night RAW where you will be the last sacrifice. You will be sacrificed to a power even greater than myself. And you will know my name as the Lord of Darkness! And there's not a damn thing that you or any of you people can do about it!"

Shane takes the microphone. "Now Bladewolf, while you do indeed have a match in the UK against your brother at No Mercy, win or lose, you will also face your brother at Over the Edge. And guess what...I'm going to be the Special Guest referee!"

"Bladewolf might not be happy about that." JR said as the segment continues.


Later

The Corporate Ministry was in the ring again. Shane went on to make a few matches that were clearly in his group's favour. He placed Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock into a Lumberjack match and said Bladewolf will take the night off because Undertaker wants Bladewolf strong and prepared for No Mercy and Over the Edge when he gets beaten twice and says Undertaker cannot wait to hear what their match will be, referring to SmackDown when Bladewolf showed up and said he will reveal what their match in the UK will be.

Shane then called Vince and Stephanie out, and they came out with Linda McMahon, the wife of Vince and mother of Stephanie and Shane. Shane mocked them and challenged Vince to a match tonight then revealed that it was he who gave the Undertaker the keys to the house and allowed them to abduct Stephanie, then revealed that he was the one who got Stephanie the black dress she wore.

Before Vince could snap and attack his son, however...

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

A bell begins tolling after the wolf howl as Jim Johnston's Dark Side starts up. Fire goes off at the entrance and the lights change to dark red and dark blue as the Bladewolf walks out to a loud pop from the fans. He had the WWF Championship around his waist and stood on the stage.

"And there is the new WWF Champion." JR said as the fans popped loudly at seeing him. Bladewolf looks around at the fans and nods at Vince and his family who were standing on the stage and they nodded back before he looked at the men in the ring as his theme died down.

"Well, well, well, big brother, you must have REALLY fallen so low to begin answering to somebody." Bladewolf chuckles. "Doesn't the Lord of Darkness answer to no one but himself? I guess you left your balls and pride in Death Valley after Austin buried you alive."

"Ooh!" Jerry widened his eyes as the crowd cheered. Undertaker did not look happy.

"Now, I don't care what you do around here, but when you bring an innocent into this pathetic power trip war with Vince and try to marry his daughter...well even I have limits." Bladewolf said, adjusting his hood before pushing it down. "Big brother, in the United Kingdom, will show no mercy to you, none at all. you will get no brotherly love from me again because our match at No Mercy in the UK is now...Hell in the Cell."

"Oh my God!" JR exclaimed as the crowd cheered. "Hell in a Cell between the Bladewolf and the Undertaker!"

"And trust me, what you did to Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley inside that cell...will be NOTHING compared to what I'm gonna do to you when I close that door behind me." Bladewolf growls coldly. "You may think you are the Devil with that stupid goatee, that stupid group of yours, and that pathetic, whining, cowardly little bitch next you you." Shane looked shocked at the insult. "Oh, I should say I was talking about Shane and Paul Bearer. Now, where was I? Oh yes, big brother, you are not the Devil or the Devil incarnate...because I am!"

He shoots his arms up and fire suddenly explodes from the turnbuckles, startling the Corporate Ministry who weren't expecting it, even the Undertaker.

"So for now, I am going to sit back and watch everything leading up to No Mercy and Over the Edge. You will see me again at No Mercy, I'd rather save my strength when battling you. Kane has agreed he can defend our World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Titles on his own, even solo he is a monster. Big Brother..this is personal between me and you, I have not forgotten you lying to me and then betraying me. What i do to you when we finally fight for the first time ever in that ring, locked inside that cell...I fight for the memory of our parents. I vow on our mother's grave...that she will wish you were never born!"

Bladewolf drops the microphone, raises his arms up before tossing them down again when makes four lightning bolts strike the turnbuckles and cause fire to shoot up and Bladewolf's theme plays as he glares back at the Undertaker who glares darkly at him...


And that is it for this chapter. I skipped the pilot episode of SmackDown but I did mention Bladewolf was there so he didn't miss it. Now, there was a No Mercy PPV in the UK in May 1999 so Bladewolf will face Undertaker there inside Hell in a Cell for the first time in Bladewolf's career. This will literally be the first time Bladewolf goes one-on-one with his older brother.
