RAW is WAR: 12/7/1999
RAW is WAR was live at the Louisville Gardens in Louisville, Kentucky. RAW had come back from a commercial break after the Undertaker assaulted Stone Cold Steve Austin and busted him open, with the doctors saying Austin may need stitches, not a good thing to have before a First Blood match.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Jim Johnston's Dark Side plays as Fire goes off on the stage and the lights change to dark red and dark blue as the Bladewolf walks out to a loud pop, his gaze more colder and blank than ever before. There was a chill in the air, more colder than it used to be when Bladewolf showed up.
"Bladewolf seems to have gotten more dangerous and unstable these past few weeks." JR noted. "I can't tell what it is, but this stipulation for Fully Loaded is not helping matters.
"Who knows what goes through this man's mind." Jerry shrugged.
Bladewolf walks down the ramp and climbs onto the apron, pulling his coat hood down before stepping over the top rope to enter the ring. He grabs a microphone and stands in the middle of the ring as his theme dies down.
"I guess we're gonna hear him speak." JR said.
Bladewolf began. "A year ago...I won my first WWF Championship. My reign was short, and I lost that title to Stone Cold Steve Austin. For most of 1998, I wanted to be WWF Champion again, even though becoming Intercontinental Champion and King of the Ring gave satisfaction to my desire for gold and accomplishments, my desire and thrist to be World Wrestling federation Champion never died down or vanished. I had my shot at Breakdown, I didn't get the title. I agreed to a deal with Vince McMahon to protect him in return for being WWF Champion...and I didn't get that, Yes, I did indeed get my rematch after Backlash, but it wasn't enough for me. Vince wanted me kept as far away from the WWF Title while he planned his master plan to keep the title from Austin. This master plan involved a secret conspiracy between the Undertaker and himself while pretending to fight my big brother's Ministry of Darkness. The plan culminated at Over the Edge following circumstances that led to Undertaker becoming the WWF Champion. You heard him yourself, Vince was the mastermind behind it all."
Bladewolf paced as anger swelled inside of him."He even used his own daughter, Stephanie McMahon for this purpose. However, that plan was shoved up Vince's ass when Linda anointed Stone Cold Steve Austin as the new CEO of the WWF. It was nice to have Austin running things just to make the male McMahons' lives miserable. At King of the Ring, Vince and Shane won back control of the World Wrestling Federation thanks to outside help. However, Stone Cold Steve Austin booked himself a Championship Match any time of his choosing when he was still CEO and knowing that he'd be screwed, he drew up a new contract that solidified that rematch. On the RAW is WAR after King of the Ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin recaptured the WWF Championship. Which now brings us to the present. As you know, a contract was signed for the First Blood Match at Fully Loaded. The added stipulation is if Undertaker wins the match, Austin or I will never become the WWF Champion ever again. However, if Stone Cold wins the match then we'll never see Vince McMahon again. And since you're so confident that Undertaker will be victorious at Fully Loaded, Vince, I too am confident that Austin will leave Fully Loaded still the WWF Champion. There are some who think my victory at WrestleMania 14 was a fluke but I intend on silencing those critics for good when I win the championship back after Fully Loaded. Vince enjoy your remaining days on live television because after Fully Loaded we'll see your wrinkly ass later!"
Kane's theme then plays and fire explodes on the stage as the Big Red Machine comes out and heads down the ramp.
Jim Ross said, "Here comes Kane! It will be the second time tonight we have heard Kane's music."
Jerry Lawler added, "And the first time we've actually seen him." Kane steps over the ropes and stands near his brother.
Bladewolf looks at Kane. "Kane...what is going on? Lately, our older brother has been...aiding us. Not even we know what goes through his mind, but it can't be anything good. I know where I stand and where he stands in my vision and that's far away from me because I plan on ending that bastard for his crimes, but Kane...you cannot let our older brother confuse and manipulate you like he did before. I've been honest with you, I've stayed by your side for everything, I treated you like family while he treated you like a pawn, but if you are gonna have to make a choice. Do you join Undertaker...or do you remain with me?"
Before Kane can give his answer, Triple H, Chyna and Billy Gunn attack them from behind.
Kane deals with Billy Gunn while Triple H and Chyna use the numbers game on Bladewolf. Kane looks to chokeslam Mr. Ass but Billy Gunn escapes and lands the Fame-Ass-er on him. Triple H pins Bladewolf in the corner when the Undertaker slides into the ring and easily manhandles Billy Gunn clotheslining him over the top rope and Triple H and Chyna leave, knowing retreat is the better option.
Jerry Lawler added, "And the first time we've actually seen him." Kane steps over the ropes and stands near his sister.
Angel said, "What is it, Kane? I know you're confused and all but you can't let your brother manipulate you the way he did. I've always been honest with you and you know it. But if you're going to have anything to do with him, I won't stop you. What you're gonna have to do is make a choice. You're gonna have to do the right thing." Before Kane can give his answer, Triple H, Chyna and Billy Gunn attack them from behind.

The two younger brothers recover from the surprise attack and Kane looks his brother in the eyes.
Undertaker said, "Kane, I'm your brother and I won't make you choose. I never asked you to choose." With that, he exits the ring under his slow Ministry theme.
Jim Ross cried, "Did you hear that, King?"
Jerry Lawler nodded, "Yeah! That's the real deal right there. Blood's thicker than water and nobody knows more about blood than the Undertaker!"
Jim Ross clarified, "But the Undertaker said he doesn't want Kane to choose. But why did the Undertaker get in Kane's face?" The Deadman stops at the top of the entrance ramp when Kane exits the ring to walk up the ramp but then stops. He looks at Bladewolf then to Undertaker as if wondering who to choose.
Kane ultimately walks past the Undertaker to clear his head...
What is going on? Is Kane with the Undertaker...or is he with Bladewolf?
