RAW is WAR: 5/6/2000
RAW is WAR was live at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York. RAW came on the air with Michael Cole tracking down Vince McMahon in the backstage area. Cole asked Mr. McMahon how Triple H felt about facing three No. 1 contenders. Mr. McMahon commented that he didn't care how Triple H felt, and that if Triple H's ego wasn't so large, he wouldn't be in this mess. He said if only people would have listened to him, then everything would have been fine.
World Wrestling Federation Champion Triple H and his bride, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, entered the ring as RAW kicked off. The Game proclaimed that he didn't mind the three top contenders, since competition turns him on. What turns him off, though, is big egos. He proclaimed that Mr. McMahon had the biggest ego of them all, which brought the chairman out to the ring.
As Triple H continued to speak, Vince grabbed the microphone out of his hand and told Triple H how he saw things. He said that Triple H had done two smart things - one, enter the World Wrestling Federation, and two, marry the boss' daughter. Mr. McMahon then proclaimed, "I made you, and I can break you."
Triple H then took Vince on a walk down memory lane, specifically back to the 1999 Armageddon Pay-Per-View, when the Game defeated Mr. McMahon one-on-one. As Triple H spoke, Vince again attempted to grab the microphone, but the Game this time shoved his father-in-law away. The two looked like they were about to scuffle until Shane ran out to separate the two.
But Shane had other ideas. The "Giant Killer" wanted to take both men on, and when Vince and Triple H knocked Shane to the ground, Stephanie saw that things had gone too far, and she slapped all three men. That brought out the People's Champion, The Rock.
The Rock demanded a title shot that night, taking advantage of his status as No. 1 contender. But Kane soon came out and also demanded a title shot, laying claims to his top status as well. And the Undertaker soon made it three title challenges for the evening.
Mr. McMahon, his attention now on the task at hand, made the following ruling: The Rock, Kane and the Undertaker would compete in a Triple Threat Match, with the winner being the undisputed No. 1 contender, and receiving a title shot that very night against Triple H.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The fans cheered at the wolf howl as everyone in and out the ring looked around before the lights dimmed to the sinister blood red and dark blue. The Titantron goes static a few times before it shows the Bladewolf sitting in a chair with Trish standing by, smoke filling the room.
"It amuses me to watch this... bickering of children who are letting their egos get in their way." Bladewolf aid with a low chuckle as he crossed his arms over his chest. For weeks before my return, I've watched everything that's happened, and I see the egos clash again and again. But as much as it amuses me... it makes me sick that you all think you have a right to what is rightfully mine... Make no mistake, I will reclaim what's mine but I wanted to remind the old man who seems to have a memory problem. You see, Vince, I have a right to a rematch for the WWF title, but I'm a patient man so I'll let the chaos ensue and when the dust settles, I'll face whoever is left that's the so called WWF Champion. Whether it's Triple H, the Rock, the Undertaker, or Kane, I could care less who it is, they will fall all the same. So prepare yourselves, for the end is coming, the end of what you know is lies that you tell yourselves to not face reality. Well the reality is... I will reclaim my WWF title and bring back an era of destruction that I alone ruled through fear. And finally, you will fall and pray for an end to come and I will be there to put your souls to a tortuous end. You will all burn...in...hell."
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Lightning strikes the turnbuckles, causing fire to explode from the, scaring the McMahon-Helmsley regime. While they had problems with the Rock, undertaker and Kane, they had to remember that the Bladewolf was lurking in the shadows, waiting for the victor in all of this to appear so he can get the final battle...
The new World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, Too Cool, came to the ring with Rikishi for six-man tag action against the new trio of T&A and Val Venis. Too Cool and Rikishi appeared to have the match won after the Worm and a Hip Hop Drop on Test, but Val nailed Grandmaster Sexay with a boot and pulled out the win. After the match, however, the dope trio gained a measure of revenge, as Rikishi gave Venis the Stink Face!
In the McMahon/Helmsley locker room, Vince, Shane and Triple H apologized for their actions, and the family sealed the deal with a hug.
Next up was Road Dogg vs Chris Benoit in a King of the Ring Qualifying Match.
The match was underway as Benoit and Road Dogg battled. X-Pac's interference seemed to be helping the Dogg on the way to a win when the lights flickered on and off a few times, gaining everyone's attention as they wodnered what is wrong with the lights.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dead Silent plays to a pop from the crowd as smoke fills the stage and the lights dim to the sinister blood red and dark blue... but Trish Stratus walks out instead of the Bladewolf!
Trish makes her way down to the ring with a sway in her hips, dressed in sexy black leather gear. She gets onto the ring apron and distracts the referee with her body as she seductively beckons him over with a finger while giving him bedroom eyes, which works as the referee falls for it.
The crowd cheers when Bladewolf hops the barricade with the baseball bat in hand, slides into the ring... AND STRIKES ROAD DOGG IN THE STOMACH WITH IT! Bladewolf slides out the ring as Benoit grabs Road Dogg from behind... AND HITS THE GERMAN SUPLEZ! HE HOOKS THE LEG! The referee sees it and dives in! ONE! TWO! THREE! CHRIS BENOIT WINS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Benoit's theme plays as Tori slides into the ring to check up on Road Dogg. Benoit roll out the ring and heads up the ramp to the back as Bladewolf and Trish enter the ring. Tori is still checking on Road Dogg and doesn't see Bladewolf behind her until she feels like someone is standing behind her and she slowly turns around to see the Demon Wolf glaring down at her, having clearly not forgotten how she betrayed Kane all those months ago.
Bladewolf grabs Tori by the hair, causing her to scream as Bladewolf corces her to look into his eyes, seeing the darkness, the rage and desire to maim and hurt her in his eyes. Bladewolf looks at Trish who walks over and inspects Tori, running her hand down the woman's body and then checking her hair, caresses her cheek before she looks at Bladewolf... and shakes her head.
Bladewolf turns Tori around and grab sher by the throat to cheers from the fans as Tori pleads for her life while clutching the hand grasping her throat tightly. Bladewolf sees X-Pac coming and shoves Tori into Trish who grabs her and holds her as Bladewolf catches X-Pac by the throat, lifts him up... AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Bladewolf glares down at X-Pac and turns his attention to Tori as Trish shoves her down to the mat. tori gets onto her hands and knees but freezes as she sees two boots step in front of her and slowly looks up to see the Bladewolf glaring down at her with his fists clenched. Tori slowly gets to her feet and smiles at him, trying to use her body to seduce him as she rubs herself against him but Bladewolf remains motionless and silent as he looks at Trish who smirks before she pulls Tori by the hair, turns her around... AND SLAPS HER!
Tori stumbles around only to be lifted up onto Bladewolf's shoulders... AND HE HITS THE FURY OF THE WOLF! Bladewolf gets to his feet as the crowd cheer loudly at what happened. Trish stands beside Bladewolf as he throws his arms up then down, causing thunder to be heard as lightning hit the turnbuckles and fire explodes from them while Bladewolf's theme plays.
Bladewolf and Trish leave the ring as Road Dogg, tpri and X-Pac are laid out...
And that's it for this chapter.
