RAW is WAR: 5/10/1998
RAW is WAR was live at the Breslin Arena in East Lansing, Michigan. The upcoming match was a Triple Threat featuring Marc Mero, Vader, and the Bladewolf. Mero and Vader had already made their entrances but Mero was staying as far away as he could from Vader.
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 stares down at the men in the ring as he makes his way towards it. The Intercontinental Champion gets onto the ring apron then enters the ring over the top rope, adjusting an elbow pad as he looks in between Vader and Mero, two men he's had issues with in the past. His theme dies down and the referee calls for the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Right away Vader and Bladewolf go for Mero, getting him into the corner where they stomp and punch away at him. They take turns stomping on Mero a few times before Mero rolls out the ring to escape with Jacqueline but Vader rolls out the ring and stands in front of Mero then Bladewolf stands behind him, causing Mero to go wide eyed as he looks in between them before meeting a hard right hand from the Bladewolf, making him stumble into a clothesline from Vader.
Bladewolf picks Mero up before sending him right over the steel steps then turns his attention to Vader and the two start slugging it out, trading back and fourths with each other until Bladewolf grabs Vader, bounces his head off the ring apron then tosses him into the ring and rolls in after him. Bladewolf tackles Vader down and unloads with hammering right hands then throws lefts and rights at Vader, causing him to cover up.
"Look at those devastating rights and lefts!" JR exclaims. "Just no mercy at all! This is what makes Bladewolf dangerous."
"True there, JR." Jerry nods. "He's basically both the Undertaker and Kane's anger, rage, strength combined all into one."
Bladewolf continues to hammer away at Vader until Mero comes in and strikes him from behind, causing Bladewolf to stop and just calmly stand up and turn to Mero who went wide eyed before he was taken down with a hard right hand. Bladewolf gives Vader a stomp before he grabs Mero and hits a Belly-to-Belly suplex. He then walks over, grabs Mero from behind and hits a German Suplex, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another.
"Good grief." JR said. "So many German Suplexes."
"That has to hurt the back of your head with bow you land." Jerry says.
Bladewolf watches Mero roll out the ring before turning around into a clothesline from Vader. Vader stomps away on Bladewolf who is barely faxed before Bladewolf suddenly grabs Vader by the throat, looking for the Chokeslam, but Vader punches him in the mask then tackles him into the corner, driving his shoulder repeatedly into Bladewolf's gut while Bladewolf delivers left and right forearms to the back of Vader before he elbows Vader in the back, forcing the big man to a knee, Bladewolf then knees Vader in the side of the head which makes him go down.
Bladewolf hits a leg drop across Vader's throat and hooks the leg for the pin but Vader kicks out at two. Bladewolf gets to his feet, grabs Vader and Irish whips him off the ropes but Vader ducks the right hand and Bladewolf turns around into a leaping crossbody from the big man. Vader stomps away on Bladewolf before Mero comes in from behind, locking in a headlock on Vader but the big man easily lifts Mero up and slams him onto his back, forcing Mero to release the hold.
Bladewolf gets to his feet and takes Vader down with a hard clothesline but Mero dropkicks his left knee from behind, bringing the Demon Wolf to a knee. Mero boots Bladewolf in his masked face before he goes for the pin but Bladewolf kicks out at two with force, throwing Mero off him as he did and sits up.
Mero gets to his feet and rebounds off the ropes, going for a dropkick but Bladewolf had quickly gotten to his feet and takes Mero down with a hard clothesline. Bladewolf turns his attention to Vader but not before he picks up Mero and sends him right out of the ring but Vader took the chance to run and takes Bladewolf down with a clothesline but Bladewolf gets to his feet quickly only to be Irish whipped into the corner, then Vader runs for a turnbuckle clothesline but Bladewolf moves out the way, grabs Vader from behind and hits a German Suplex across the ring.
Mero runs at Bladewolf...BUT IS CAUGHT BY THE THROAT! Bladewolf lifts Mero up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
"Chokeslam on Mero!" JR exclaims. "Bladewolf has been in control of this match thus far but we may be seeing the end of it now with that Chokeslam."
Bladewolf glances at Vader who had rolled out the ring to recover and then grabs Mero, hoists him onto his shoulder then holds him upside down in front of him in the middle of the ring...BEFORE HITTING THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! HE HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THREE! BLADEWOLF WINS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Dark Side plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet and is given the Intercontinental Championship. At Judgement Day, he takes on Ken Shamrock for the WWF Intercontinental Championship...
And that's it for this chapter folks. I hope you all enjoyed it.
