RAW is WAR: 23/8/1999
RAW is WAR was live at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa. The show opened with Vince McMahon in the ring despite the contract from Fully Loaded where he can not show up for anything WWF business related.
Vince had a microphone in hand and spoke in a solemn tone. "Last night, was an unfortunate day here in the WWF. George Edwards, to the fans better known as Bladewolf, was in a car accident after SummerSlam." Fans gasped in shock while some, including kids, began crying, fearing they lost another great wrestler. "However, George was found alive and in the hospital for his treatment." Fans cheered for the good news. "Myself, wrestlers, officials and everyone here in the WWF wish Bladewolf a swift recovery and pray for his good health. He himself told me that this injury was a bump in his career, but when he comes back, he'll be back stronger and more badass than ever before! Let's hear it for Bladewolf!" Fans cheer loudly.
'Bladewolf! Bladewolf! Bladewolf!' They chanted.
"We all wish you a quick recovery, Bladewolf." JR said.
"Indeed we do." Jerry nods.
And that is it for this story everyone. Sorry it had to end like this but I was running out of ideas for what Bladewolf can do for the rest of 1999 and all of 2000, plus I have a plan anyway but Bladewolf won't return until 2001.

Bio: At a young age, George watched WWE and dreamed of being a WWE Superstar. When he was in his teens, he trained to be a wrestler, soon ending up with a gimmick, a name, and working at small wrestling shows under the name 'The Bladewolf'. In September 1997, he was approached by Jim Ross about a contract with the WWF and George accepted, having his tryout match at the WWF's UK One Night Only PPV where the Bladewolf made his debut and proceeded to destroy Tiger Ali Singh in dominating fashion as part of the character and win the match, starting the beginning of George's big time wrestling career.
Over the next few weeks, Bladewolf would face superstar after superstar and defeat them in quick, dominating fashion. He defeated Dude Love at Badd Blood: in Your House, Triple H at Survivor Series, Marc Mero at D-Generation X: in Your House, a feud that became real life issues due to George sleeping with Mero's real life wife, Sable, yet it was discovered Sable was being abused by Mero.
Back on screen, Bladewolf continued his path of destruction and after facing Kane and loosing his first match to Kane, Paul Bearer revealed that Bladewolf was in fact the lost, little brother of the Undertaker and Kane. Bladewolf would eventually come face to face with his brothers, stopping Kane from slapping Undertaker. As 1997 reached an end, Bladewolf showed a desire to be WWF Champion and on the final RAW of 1997 he faced Shawn Michaels for the title but won by DQ, but Michaels retaiend due to titles not changing hands by a DQ.
Bladewolf competed in the 1998 Royal Rumble, eliminating 8 superstars and came down to the final two with Stone Cold Steve Austin, but was eliminated. Despite this, Bladewolf still desired a shot at the WWF Championship and was given the chance to be added to the Main Event at WrestleMania 14 when Vince McMahon put him into a tag team match against Vader and Marc Mero with his brother Kane being his partner. For the first time, the two brothers teamed up and showed dominance throuout most of the match and won the match, giving Bladewolf his shot at the title.
At WrestleMania 14, Bladewolf defeated Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold to win his first WWF Championship and making history by becoming the youngest Champion ever at the age of 21. After this, Bladewolf went on to face Stone Cold Steve Austin at Unforgiven: in Your House for the WWF Championship but lost, ending his first reign at only 28 days.
Bladewolf was denied a rematch by Vince McMahon, which caused him to go on a rampage and destroy several superstars. Bladewolf was then given a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship at Over the Edge: In Your House, where he defeated the Rock to win the title for the first time and become the youngest at 21 years old.
Bladewolf then went on to become part of the 1998 King of the Ring tournament, which he won in the final at the King of the Ring PPV. After this, he feud with the Rock and Triple H, leading to a Triple Threat Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam where he retained the title. He lost the title to Triple H at Breakdown: in Your House, ending his first Intercontinental Championship reign at only 119 days. Bladewolf would then go on to win the title for the second time at Judgement Day: In Your House, defeating Ken Shamrock.
Bladewolf attacked the Undertaker the next night on RAW when the Undertaker revealed he set the fire that claimed the lives of Bladewolf's parents and scarred Kane's face. The following week he faced Stone Cold Steve Austin in a I Quit match, where the Undertaker interfered and brutally attacked Bladewolf, injuring his ankle and forcing Bladewolf to vacate his Intercontinental Championship, ending his second reign at only 8 days.
During George's time off, he and Sable broke up after she cheated on him.
Bladewolf returned to the WWF on the 25/1/1999 episode of RAW to defend Kane from Shane McMahon, reuniting the Brothers of Destruction. Kane and Bladewolf would go on to defeat Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart for the World Tag Team Championships at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House, giving Bladewolf his first tag team title reign. They faced Hart and Jarrett again at WrestleMania 15 where they retained the titles, giving Bladewolf his second victory at WrestleMania.
After WrestleMania, the two brothers continued defending their titles against anyone who challenegd them. On the RAW after Backlash, Bladewolf defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Championship, winning the title for the second time in his career. Bladewolf then entered a feud with the Undertaker which involved Bladewolf saving Stephanie McMahon the same night he won the WWF Championship. The brothers battled at No Mercy (UK) inside Hell in a Cell, which Bladewolf won in his first Hell in a Cell match, then they battled at Over the Edge with Shane McMahon as the Special Guest Referee where Bladewolf lost thanks to a quick fast count by Shane, ending Bladewolf's second WWF Championship reign at only 27 days.
After this, Bladewplf began a small rivalry with Shane McMahon after Shane cost Kane and Bladewolf their World Tag Team Titles, ending their reign at 106 days. Bladewolf defeated Shane McMahon in a Hell in a Cell match on the 14/6/1999 episode of RAW is WAR to win his first WWF European Championship.
After this, Bladewolf showed signs of a Heel turn after he hit a low blow on Big Show then was aided in attacking Big Show by Undertaker. At King of the Ring 1999, Bladewolf turned Heel for the first time in WWF when he helped Undertaker defeat the Rock to retain the WWF Championship. The two brothers reunited and Bladewolf took time off TV.
He returned on the 26/7/1999 episode of RAW is WAR to aid Undertaker in attacking Kane and Road Dogg, fully completing and cementing Bladewolf's Heel turn. At SummerSlam, Bladewolf and Undertaker defeated Kane and X-Pac to become the new WWF World Tag Team Champions.
After the show, George was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, causing him to have a broken arm and a torn knee, lucky enough to not have been killed but was told he may be looking at the end of his career with this injury. This wore Bladewolf out of TV as he was told he may be out for maybe a year or more than a year.
