RAW is WAR: 3/4/2000
RAW is WAR was live at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Shane McMahon walked down to the ring to kick off the RAW after WrestleMania 16. Shane said that after The Rock gave his sister Stephanie the Rock Bottom and People's Elbow at WrestleMania, the "Boy Wonder" wanted a piece of the "Great One." It was Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley that came out instead. Triple H said he was so irate that he wanted a piece of The Rock as well - but the Federation Championship would not be on the line. Triple H called out the People's Champion, but it was Vince McMahon who appeared this time. Vince hugged his daughter, and then he shook hands with both Triple H and Shane as a sign of reconciliation.
Vince said that he too wanted a piece of The Rock. He knew the fans him to explain his actions at WrestleMania - but since Vince didn't have to answer to anyone, he wasn't going to provide an explanation. However, he did throw a few insults at the fans in Los Angeles for good measure. He said The Rock had as much chance of becoming Federation Champion again as the LA fans had of becoming famous celebrities -no chance in hell. Vince promised that whoever faced The Rock on RAW - Vince, Shane or Triple H - would drive The Rock out of the sports entertainment business and into a field he was more cut out for… waiting tables!
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls plays to a loud pop as a motorcycle is heard before Bladewolf comes out on his motorcycle. He revs it a few times as he stares down the men in the ring before he drives down the ramp and circles the ring. He parks the motorcycle facing the stage before he gets off, gets onto the ring apron and enters the ring with the same cold expression on his face that gave nothing away to what he was thinking as his theme dies down.
'Bladewolf! Bladewolf! Bladewolf!' The people of LA chanted, showing their support for the Demon Wolf who glances around and gaves a cold smirk before turning his gaze back to the other people in the ring and his serious glare returns.
"What the hell are you doing out here?!" Vince demanded as he stormed forward but didn't get too close. "You are interrupting something important! Do you hear me, I-SHUT UP I'M TALKING!" Vince shouted that last part at the fans as they were cheering over him. Vince turned back to Bladewolf who tilted his head. "You think because you no longer wear a mask like some Halloween rejected freak you can do whatever you want? Huh?! What do you want?! Why are you out here?!"
Bladewolf snatched the microphone from Vince's hands to cheers from the fans and he tilts his head a little before looking at Vince. "It goes like this, boss, I'm put here...for him." He points at Triple H and the fans cheer. "Not just him...but what he holds. If you remember, while you were gone from here, last year after SummerSlam, I faced this waste of human space in this ring, came close to beating him...but he needed your pathetic, spineless son to win the title. I have a right to a rematch, so Vince...Do NOT put me through the same thing you did two years ago because I will make sure you, your jackass son, your pathetic son-in-law...and your tramp daughter NEVER leave this ring alive."
The crowd cheered at his words and his insults to the McMahon family and Triple H. Vince backed up as Bladewolf looked serious with his threat. Triple H stepped forward and snatched the microphone from Bladewolf's hands, causing the Demon Wolf to raise an eyebrow.
"Don't you dare come out here and insult my wife, or I'll-!" Triple H was cut off when Bladewolf snatched the microphone from him, getting the fans to laugh.
"Don't ever snatch this away from me." Bladewolf warned the WWF Champion. Triple H yelled something and poked Bladeowlf in the chest. "And don't touch me, don't ever touch me. If you really are such a tough man, then you'll step into this ring with me...tonight." The crowd popped at this suggestion as Triple H didn't look happy with this idea. "It doesn't have to be for the title, knowing you, but if I do win...you WILL give me a title shot at Backlash, SmackDown, I don't care, but it will be before or at the next PPV. So tell me, Hunter, are you Triple H the Game...or are you just a spinless, pathetic, cowardly bitch?"
The crowd went into an uproar of cheers and laughs at that as Bladewolf and Triple H stared each other down. Bladewolf's expression was cold while Triple H was breathing angrily, looking like he wanted to floor Bladewolf but he stepped back before he snatched the microphone.
"You want a match with me?! You got it! I'll give you what you want IF you can beat me! Do you understand?!" Triple H demanded as he got in Bladewolf's face.
Bladewolf smirked. "I understand." He suddenly lifts Triple H onto his shoulders...AND HITS THE FURY OF THE WOLF! Bladewolf scared Vince, Stephanie and Shane out the ring before he picks up the WWF Championship and looks at it before he stands over Triple H and raises the title as his theme plays. Bladewolf drops the title onto Triple H's stomach before leaving the ring and heads to the back on his motorcycle as RAW goes to commercial break...
The European Championship was at stake as Chris Jericho, seconded by Chyna, took on Eddy Guerrero. Jericho hit the Asai moonsault and had the match won, but the referee had been inadvertently knocked out. Chyna entered the ring and administered an unofficial three count, and then raised Jericho's hand as if he had won the match. Then she surprised everyone - including Guerrero himself - when she kicked Y2J in the midsection and delivered a DDT. She dragged Guerrero and top and threw the referee back in the ring, who made the three count and awarded the European Championship to Guerrero. After the match, the Ninth Wonder of the World gave the title to Guerrero and left with him!
In tag team competition, Road Dogg and X-Pac, with Tori, took on Test and Albert, accompanied by Trish Stratus. While the referee was distracted, Road Dogg hit a low blow on Albert, and X-Pac delivered the X-Factor for a DX victory.
Backstage, Kurt Angle complained to ring announcer Howard Finkel that the Olympic hero had lost both the Intercontinental and European Championship at WrestleMania without being pinned. When Finkel explained that those were the rules, Angle locked the cross-face chicken wing on Finkel!
One of the titles that Angle lost the previous night, the Intercontinental Championship, was up for grabs on RAW as Chris Benoit defended against Tazz. When the challenger locked on the Tazzmission, Perry Saturn came from the back and climbed to the top rope. Tazz threw Benoit into the ropes, knocking Saturn down. Tazz then delivered a head-and-arms suplex off the top rope on Saturn, who went flying out of the ring. But Saturn's distraction proved beneficial, as Benoit recovered and gave Tazz and overhead suplex into a bridge for the pin. After the match, Tazz attacked Perry Saturn.
Before the Big Show's match with Rikishi, Shane and the Show talked backstage. Show said that he and Shane are still friends and the Show is there if Shane needs him. But the Show said he kind of liked Hollywood, and he was going to go out there and "cut a rug" and become a real superstar.
Back in the ring, Michael Cole interviewed the new Tag Team Champions, Edge and Christian. Edge told Cole that they could "take it from here," and they proceeded to call out the Hardy Boyz. Edge and Christian condescendingly suggested to the Hardys that there was "nothing wrong with being second best." Just when it looked like there may be a scuffle between the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian, the Dudley Boyz came out - and a melee ensued among all three teams!
Next up, Rikishi Phatu, accompanied by Too Cool, took on the Big Show. After flooring Phatu with a clothesline, Big Show proceeded to do his own version of Scotty Too Hotty's worm! Too Cool apparently didn't like the impression too much, as they ended up interfering in the match, causing a disqualification. After the match, Scotty executed the "real" worm on the Show, and then Rikishi and Too Cool danced to the delight of the crowd. Looking on from the opposite end of the entrance ramp below the Titan Tron, Big Show seemed to like what he saw.
After the break, the McMahon boys are drawing staraws on who faces the Rock since Triple H is facing the Bladewolf tonight, andended up getting the nod. However, the "Boy Wonder" didn't seem nearly as confident about facing the "Great One" as he had earlier in the night.
Meanwhile, the Big Show was back in the ring. He said that he's more than just a big, unstoppable athlete - he's also an entertainer. He asked the fans if they had seen him on "Saturday Night Live," and they agreed that he could be funny. Show said that sometimes he felt like fighting, sometimes he felt like relaxing, and sometimes he felt like …dancing! Show instructed the guys in the truck to hit the music, and the Big man proceeded to tear up the dance floor (the ring in this case). The crowded even chanted "Go Big Show" as the former Federation Champion got down.
Backstage, Michael Cole interviewed The Rock, who promised to beat Shane McMahon's ass and eventually go on to become the Federation Champion again. The Rock then said he didn't care if Bladewolf got involved in this thing between him and Triple H, the Rock will just whoop his candy ass to.
After the controversial ending at WrestleMania, Crash Holly tried to win back the Hardcore Championship from his cousin Hardcore Holly. It looked like Hardcore had things firmly in control as he slammed his cousin over the head with a glass candy jar - just as he had done the night before at WrestleMania. But the Acolytes came from the back and put a beating on Hardcore - and threw Crash on top of him. Crash scored the pinfall and became the new Hardcore Champion. After the match, as the new Hardcore Champion retreated to the locker room, he was attacked by the Mean Street Posse, but the "Houdini of Hardcore" was able to escape with his title.
Backstage, Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty Too Hotty were talking about Big Show's dancing ability. Sexay was clearly not impressed. Later, the Big Show confronted Grandmaster - who said the Show's dancing was not that bad, but it was also not that good. Show slugged Grandmaster and splashed him through a table. He took Grandmaster's 'do rag and glasses and strutted away.
Next up, Kurt Angle took on Val Venis. Angle said that because he was taking on Val and didn't want to taint himself, he would wear sanitary rubber gloves during the match. Before he could put the gloves on, however, Val attacked him and the match got underway. Angle went up to pick up the victory by forcing Val to submit to the cross-face chicken wing.
In another singles contest, Kane, with Paul Bearer, took on Bull Buchanan, with Big Boss Man. After the Big Red Machine got the win with a chokeslam, he was double teamed by both Bull and Boss Man. The two superstars handcuffed Kane to a ringpost, and then Bull smashed his hand with a steel chair.
Next up was the Bladewolf vs Triple H.
In the arena, Triple H's theme hits and out comes the WWF Champion with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The power couple make their way down the ramp towards the ring and enter, Triple H showing off the WWF Championship with Stephanie clapping for him.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls plays to a loud pop as Bladewolf comes out on his motorcycle. He drives down the ramp and circles the ring, stops the motorcycle while facing the stage, gets off and takes his trench coat off which he puts over the saddle of the motorcycle seat. Bladewolf then gets onto the ring apron and enters the ring, staring the man he faces tonight down.
Bladewolf's theme died down as Bladewolf and Triple H go eye to eye.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Without another second, Bladewolf and Triple H start a back and fourth slugfest with right hands to each other. Bladewolf ducks one and tackles Triple H down, continuing to hammer away on the WWF Champion. Triple H rolls them over and hammers away on the Bladewolf who rolls them over and gives Triple H the same punishment. This goes on for another minute before Bladewolf gets off Triple H, grabs him and tosses him into the corner where he uppercuts Triple H hard enough to rock the WWF Champion. Bladewolf then elbows Triple H in the side of the head a few times, then kicks him in the stomach, gets him into a headlock...AND HITS A DDT!
Bladewolf hooks the leg but Triple H kicks out at two. Bladewolf got to his knees before he grabs Triple H by the hair and lands a hard right to the head of the Game, then headbutts relentlessly in the forehead before he backs off. Bladewolf flips his hair back and adjusts his elbow pads and briefly sorts the straps of his wrestling singlet then adjusts his wrestling tights before he sees Triple H fighting to his feet.
"Hunter look out!" Stephanie called but it was too late as Triple H turned around into a clothesline from the Demon Wolf.
Bladewolf rebounds off the ropes and hits a leg drop across the throat of the WWF Champion. He gets to his feet right away and glares down at the WWF Champion, then looks around at the crowd.
'Bladewolf! Bladewolf! Bladewolf!' The crowd chanted, clapping along, making it clear who the favourite was in this match,
Bladewolf runs his hand through his long hair before he grabs Triple H and Irish whips him into the corner before he runs for a turnbuckle clothesline but Triple H raises his feet, causing Bladewolf to run in them and stumble back from the hit. Triple H takes advantage and clotheslines Bladewolf, then brings a knee down onto the face of the Demon Wolf. Triple H hooks the leg but Bladewolf kicks out at two.
Triple H starts pounding away at the forehead of the Bladewolf, as if trying to bust him open like he did Cactus Jack at No Way Out. Triple H then backs off and paces around, breathing heavily before he walks over, grabs Bladewolf and sends him into the corner before he runs but Bladewolf floors Triple H with a big boot to the face. Bladewolf flips his hair back, rebounds off the ropes and lands a leg drop across Triple H's throat again, hooks the leg but gets a near-fall as a result of it.
Bladewolf rolls his eyes but gets to his feet and picks Triple H, sends him into the corner before wrapping triple H's right arm around the top rope and pulls on it, causing Triple H to yell out in pain as Bladewolf keeps pulling before he lands a hard right to the shoulder joint, causing Triple H to clutch the shoulder as he tried getting away from the Demon Wolf but Bladewolf wrapped his arms around Triple H's waist and gave him a reverse Bear Hug!
Triple H yelled out in pain as he tried fighting out but Bladewolf had his arms wrapped tightly around him like a Python wrapped around it's prey. Triple H's arms flew around until they weakened and went limp. Bladewolf shoves Triple H into the corner, puts him on the top turnbuckle and goes to do more when Triple H boots him hard in the face enough to send Bladewolf to a knee and backing away.
Bladewolf shakes his head and gets to his feet before he turns around...INTO A DIVING CLOTHESLINE FROM TRIPLE H! Triple H doesn't go for the cover as he gets to his feet, rebounds off the ropes and hits a running knee drop to the head of the Bladewolf. Triple H then wraps an arm around Bladewolf's neck, locking in a headlock and tightens it to weaken the former WWF Champion who yells as he tries pulling Triple H's arms off but Triple H tightens his hold and wraps his legs around Bladewolf's waist.
Triple H eventually releases the hold when Bladewolf's arms go limp, then starts viciously kneeing Bladewolf in the ribs hard before punching him in the ribs before headbutting Bladewolf hard.
Triple H viciously attacks the skull of Bladewolf, trying to bust Bladewolf open. Triple H gets to his feet, runs and lands a knee to the skull of Bladewolf and hooks the leg but Bladewolf manages to kick out at two. Triple H shakes his head and grabs Bladewolf's right arm, locking in a submission hold on it that made Bladewolf yell in pain as the referee asked if he wanted to give it up.
Bladewolf grits his teeth before fighting out but Triple H clobbers Bladewolf from behind and stomps on his back then knees Bladewolf in the ribs. Triple H grabs the legs and puts the right one against the ropes...BEFORE STOMPING ON IT HARD! Bladewolf yells in pain as he holds his leg. Triple H attacks both legs aggressively before backing off when the damage was done.
Bladewolf tried getting to his feet only to fall back down due to the pain in his legs. Bladewolf used the ropes to help him but Triple H runs up from behind and delivers a kick to the right leg, sending Bladewolf down again. Triple H jumps and delivers a knee to the right leg then does the same to the left leg. Triple H backs off as he watches Bladewolf try to get back to his feet but the pain in his legs were saying otherwise.
Triple H runs at Bladewolf when he got to his feet...ONLY TO BE LIFTED INTO A FIREMAN'S CARRY-! BUT BLADEWOLF'S KNEES GAVE OUT! Triple H took advantage by kicking Bladewolf in the stomach, hooked his arms up...AND HITS THE PEDIGREE! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKS OUT!
Triple H's eyes went wide in shock as did Stephanie's. Stephanie looked aroudn before she grabbed a steel chair and slides it into the ring while the referee is checking on Bladewolf. Stephanie gets on the ring apron, distracting the referee as Triple H raises the chair...BUT BLADEWOLF KNEES TRIPLE H IN THE GROIN!
Triple H falls over and Bladewolf grabs Triple H, lifts him onto his shoulders...AND HITS THE FURY OF THE WOLF ON THE CHAIR! Bladewolf slides the chair out of the ring before the referee could see it and covers Triple H as the referee goes in for the count! ONE! TWO! THREE! BLADEWOLF HAS BEATEN THE WWF CHAMPION!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
For Whom the Bell Tolls plays as Bladewolf rolls off Triple H. "Here is your winner...THE BLADEWOLF!"
The Bladewolf gets a WWF Title shot, but will it be before Backlash or at Backlash is the question everyone wants to know. Bladewolf gets to his feet, flipping his hair back and he rolls out the ring. He leans against the ring apron before reaching up and pulls his ring attire's straps down to his waist and grabs his coat, tossing it into the crowd before he gets on the motorcycle and drives up the ramp to the back, heading backstage as Stephanie checks on Triple H...
And that's it for the first chapter, folks. I hope you all enjoyed it as the start of the third story, along with Bladewolf getting into the WWF Title picture. I want to know if you readers think Bladewolf should win the title before Backlash or at Backlash.
I want PM ideas for how Bladewolf's year in 2000 can go, because I'm thinking of making the first half of it the year of Bladewolf vs Triple H vs The Rock, then the second half Bladewolf vs The Rock.
Give me ideas for feuds and all that, PM me the ideas if you have to. I don't mind.

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 witha gimmick, a name, and working at small wrestling shows under the name 'The Bladewolf'. In August 1997, he was approached by Jim Ross about a contract with the WWF and George accepted, having his tryout match at SummerSlam, where he defeated Tiger Ali Singh. Over the next several months he took on and defeated all opponents like Shawn Michaels, the Undertaker. Dude Love, Bob Holly. Leif Cassidy, and others.
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 throughout 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 continued to feud with Stone Cold, leading to a match between the two at Unforgiven: In Your House, where Austin won the WWF Championship, ending Bladewolf's first reign at 28 days.
After this, Bladewolf demanded a rematch which Vince McMahon refused to give, causing Bladewolf to go on a destructive rampage for two weeks until Vince gave him a shot at the WWF Intercontinental Championship at Over the Edge: In Your House. At the event, Bladewolf defeated the Rock to win his first Intercontinental Championship and be the youngest Intercontinental Champion in WWF history. Bladewolf then showed a desire to win the 1998 King of the Ring tournament as he competed in it all the way up to the King of the Ring event where he won to become the 1998 King of the Ring.
After this, Bladewolf once again feuded with Triple H and the Rock, leading to a Triple Threat match at SummerSlam which Bladewolf won to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship. After this, Bladewolf united with Kane and the Undertaker to form the Brothers of Destruction as they went on a Night ofDestruction after being insulted by Vince McMahon. At Breakdown: In Your House, the three brothers faced Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWF Championship, with the stipulation that the brothers could not pin each other, making it mostly a 3-on-1 handicap match. In the end, all three brothers pinned Austin with no clear winner.
Bladewolf continued to demand a WWF Title shot but Vince never gave him one. Bladewolf lost his Intercontinental Championship to Ken Shamrock at Judgement Day, ending his reign at 140 days. Bladewolf was then attacked by Undertaker during a I Quit match with Stone Cold two weeks later. Bladewolf returned at Survivor Series to face Undertaker in the WWF Championship tournament, where he defeated the Undertaker but Undertaker tossed him into a casket which he set ablaze, similar to when Kane did the same thing to Undertaker at the 1998 Royal Rumble.
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.
Bladewolf and Kane continued to remain dominant and remain the WWF Tag Team Champions, while at the same time Bladewolf got himself back into the WWF Title picture mid-1999. He and Kane soon lost the titles, ending their reign at 141 days. Afterwards, Bladewolf faced Stone Cold Steve Austin on the RAW after Fully Loaded for the WWF Championship. Bladewolf turned Heel for the first time in his career when Undertaker and Kane, who had reunited and turned Heel. aided Bladewolf in winning the WWF Championship and reforming the Brothers of Destruction with Paul Bearer as their manager.
The brothers began causing destruction along the way to SummerSlam, where Bladewolf took on Stone Cold Steve Austin in a rematch for the WWF Championship, which Bladewolf won to retain. However, the following night on RAW, Bladewolf had a WWF Championship match with Triple H which he lost thanks to Shane McMahon. During the match, Bladewolf was injured and needed time off.
He returned in February 2000 to aid Kane against DX, turning Face. He also debuted a new look. He had removed the mask and changed his ring attire, along with bringing a motorcycle to the ring with him. Bladewolf and Kane's feud with DX ended at WrestleMania 16 when Kane and Bladewolf defeated X-Pac and Road Dogg, giving Bladewolf his 3rd victory at WrestleMania.
The following night on RAW, Bladewolf took on Triple H to earn a WWF title shot and defeated the WWF Champion, getting back into the WWF Title picture.
