RAW is WAR: 23/8/1999
WWF RAW is WAR was live at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, SummerSlam still fresh in their minds, the fans at Iowa State University had jam packed the Hilton Coliseum for RAW is WAR!
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side plays to boos from the fans as the lights dim to the mix of blood red and dark blue and the Bladewolf walks out with the WWF Championship around his waist and...is dressed in normal clothing? The Demon Wolf walks down the ramp and enters the ring.
Bladewolf grabs a microphone and his theme dies down. "I'm not in much of a talking mood tonight, so I will make this short and sweet." He began, pacing. "Now last at SummerSlam, I was defending my title against Stone Cold...so where in the hell does Triple H think he can get involved in my match? He almost cost me the title. Hunter, I know you earned a shot at my title last night when you defeated Mankind...but to try and take me out early than that just shows how much of a desperate man you are. You want a shot at me, Hunter? Well you just name the time, the place, the date, and I will kick your ass to hell and back like I did two years ago at Survivor Series."
Triple H's theme hits and out comes the #1 Contender for the WWF Championship. Triple H glared at the Champion in the ring as he had a microphone in hand. "Bladewolf...you have what I crave, what I deserve! I should be the WWF Champion! I should've been the one to beat Austin last night! I'm the biggest star in this company right now! You just said for me to name the time and place to get a title shot? Well...how about tonight?" The crowd cheered at that idea.
Bladewolf tilts his head and everyone can hear the smirk in his voice as he speaks. "Hunter, you don't need to come out here and shout. I can hear you quite clearly, now I know you probably have a plan to take my title away...well it ain't gonna happen, because I am gonna kick your ass. You and me...tonight main's event with the title on the line!"
Triple H nods as the crowd cheers. "You got it. And just because it's us two...no DQs, no count outs."
Bladewolf nods before his theme played as he and Triple H glare each other down as RAW goes to commercial break.
Road Dogg had challenged the winner of the Hardcore Title Match at SummerSlam. It turned out to be Al Snow, and the contest was set for RAW. As the match got underway, Chris Jericho, who had ridiculed Road Dogg at SummerSlam, appeared and he and the D-O-double-G battled to the back. Al Snow, who had just been put through a table, was left behind, and the Big Boss Man came out and hammered him with the nightstick. Then Boss Man grabbed Snow's Chihuahua, Pepper, got in a car and drove away!
One day after winning the Tag Team Championship, Undertaker and Kane defended against the Acolytes. Faarooq spilled to the outside and went after Big Show and X-Pac, who had joined Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler for commentary. Within seconds, it was an all-out brawl at ringside, and the match was declared a no contest.
Test promised that he had a little announcement for Stephanie McMahon, and he made his way to the ring. He said that there comes a time in every man's life that he needs to "pop the question," and with that he invited out Stephanie. Sensing what was about to happen, Shane McMahon sprinted to the ring and said that Test and Stephanie's relationship would continue "over my dead body." Stephanie scolded Shane, asking how he could try and take something away from her that made her so happy. Test got on one knee and asked Stephanie to marry him! Stephanie gave a quick look over to Shane, told Test that she loved him, but said she just needed some time. Stephanie trotted away beaming, and Test and a smirking Shane stared at each other.
Six-time Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett, accompanied by "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry and Debra, came to the ring for a little celebration. To thank Mark Henry for joining "Jarrett Enterprises," Jeff gave "Sexual Chocolate" the European Title! And to be an assistant to Debra and her puppies, Jarrett introduced a new blonde bombshell-Miss Kitty! Jarrett said he has proved that he's the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, and he was offering an open contract to any Federation Superstar.
Henry was scheduled to take on Meat, but backstage, a furious D'Lo Brown put a beating on PMS' manservant. D'Lo made his way out to the ring and an impromptu match got underway. D'Lo had it won after he delivered the 'Lo Down, but Jarrett interrupted and caused a disqualification.
Backstage, Badd Ass Billy Gunn frantically searched for a pen to sign Jarrett's open contract. Chyna walked by but claimed she didn't have a writing utensil, so Mr. Ass told Chyna to stand and guard the contract until he returned. After Billy walked away, Chyna pulled out a pen and signed the contract!
The Rock was up next for a singles match against Gangrel, who was accompanied by Jeff and Matt Hardy. The Hardy Boyz repeatedly interfered in the match until Christian and Edge ran them back to the locker room. Without the assistance of the "New Brood," Gangrel was finished off after a Rock Bottom/People's Elbow combination. The Rock grabbed the microphone and complained that while Triple H and Mankind battled over the Federation Title, officials had been signing The Rock to matches with "jabronis," and The Rock promised to take matters into his own hands.
Backstage, Tori challenged Ivory to an Evening Gown Women's Title Match this Thursday on SmackDown!
Howard Finkel, who seems to have been brainwashed by Chris Jericho, came to the ring and called out the Road Dogg! The D-O-double-G was in complete disbelief that he had been called out by a ring announcer, but the Road Dogg's emotions turned quickly to anger when Finkel shoved him twice. The Dogg grabbed Finkel, but Jericho attacked him from behind! The entire thing was a setup, and Jericho left the Road Dogg lying!
Hardcore Holly challenged his cousin Crash to a "battle of the super heavyweights." As the two superstars battled outside the arena, Kevin Kelly reported that Stone Cold Steve Austin suffered severe ligament damage in both knees as a result of a viscous attack by Triple H at SummerSlam.
The Undertaker and Kane, with Paul Bearer, came down to the ring and booted Michael Cole from the broadcast table. They provided commentary during the Big Show and X-Pac vs. Viscera and Mideon match. The Acolytes also came down to take in the action, and they ended up double teaming Big Show outside the ring. Meanwhile, X-Pac got squashed in the cover and then splashed by Viscera, and covered for the three count.
Mr. Ass couldn't find Chyna backstage, so he went to the ring and called her out. Billy said that if Chyna would give him the Intercontinental Title shot, he would take it. The two superstars met face to face, until Jarrett came from behind and smashed a guitar over Chyna's head! Standing at ringside, Miss Kitty had another guitar, but Mr. Ass grabbed it and clobbered Jarrett!
Now it was time for the WWF Championship match.
in the arena, Triple H's theme hits and he comes out.
"The following is a Falls Count Anywhere match! Introducing first, from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing 260 lbs...Triple H!" Tony Chimel announced as Triple H walks down towards the ring and gets into the ring with his theme dying down as he waits for the Bladewolf to show up.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side plays to a mixed reaction from the fans as the lights dim to the mix of blood red and dark blue and the Bladewolf walks out with the WWF Championship around his waist and in his usual ring gear instead of the normal clothing he wore earlier.
"And his opponent, weighing 310 lbs, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!" Tony Chimel announced as Bladewolf walks down the ramp towards the ring with his eyes on Triple H.
Bladewolf slides into the ring and flips his hair back as he takes his coat off, then hands his title to the referee who raises it to show it is on the line, then hands it to someone at ringside before he calls for the bell to begin the match.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf charged at Triple H and tackled him into the corner, driving his shoulder into Triple H's stomach. Triple H tackles Bladewolf down and and throws lefts and rights. Triple H backs away a little and tries to drive a knee into Bladewolf's head but the 2-time WWF Champion moves out the way. Bladewolf gets to his feet and the two rush at unload with furious right punches before Bladewolf knees Triple H in the gut, gets behind him and hits a German Suplex across the ring.

Triple H hits a knee to the masked face of Bladewolf, sending him to a knee and Triple H grabs him...BEFORE HITTING A DDT! Triple H goes for the cover but Bladewolf kicks out at two.
Triple H gets to his feet as Bladewolf gets onto his knees. Triple H bends down to mock him...BUT BLADEWOLF SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE! Triple H was shocked at this before Triple H nails a right hand to the skull of Bladewolf and angrily stomps away on the Demon Wolf before pulling him to his feet, boots him in the gut and hooks the arms...HE HITS THE PEDIG-NO! IT'S COUNTERED INTO A BACKDROP! Bladewolf leans against the ropes and shakes his head before getting to his feet as does Triple H.
They faced each other and once again they charged and both threw a fury of fists at each other. Neither men showed any signs of letting up before Triple H Irish whips Bladewolf off the ropes, Bladewolf ducks the right from Triple H, rebounds and...NAILS A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!

When Triple H gets up, Bladewolf runs and...LEAPSOVER THE BARRICADE WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!
"Ah fuck!" George swore as he felt something pull in his body.
"You alright?" Paul asked worriedly, luckily their faces weren't seen by any of the fans not could they be heard over the cheers.
"I pulled something in my leg." George grunted in pain. "Fuck, it hurts."
"We'll need to improvise." Paul said.
Triple H got to his feet and grabs Bladewolf, tossing him over the barricade. Triple H follows and tosses Bladewolf into the ring and slides in, walking over...WHEN BLADEWOLF GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT! He lifts him up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A ChOKESLAM!
Bladewolf falls onto his side, grunting as he tried getting to his feet when Shane McMahon runs down the ramp with a chair in hand...AND SMASHES IT OVER BLADEWOLF'S HEAD! There was no DQs so it was legal!
Triple H crawled over and hooks the legs! ONE! TWO! THREE! TRIPLE H IS THE NEW WWF CHAMPION!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Triple H's theme plays as the new WWF Champion rolls off Bladewolf and Shane comes to help him. "Here is your winner and the NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion...TRIPLE H!"
Triple H gets to his feet and is handed the WWF Championship. Triple H raises it, celebrating his big victory as Bladewolf rolls out the ring and limps to the back but falls down a few times but he makes it past the curtain...
So Bladewolf is no longer the WWF Champion. Don't worry, he'll get longer reigns eventually with the title, it's just at this point Triple H was the biggest Heel in WWE at the time and they wanted to slap the title on him.
Next chapter may be in 2000, so Bladewolf may be skipping the 1999 Survivor Series.
