RAW is WAR: 5/2/2001

RAW is WAR was live at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia. The show kicked fof with Matt Hardy's theme hitting to a pop from the fans and out comes one half of Team Xtreme with Lita by his side. RAW will be starting off tonight with matt hardy vs the Bladewolf for Bladewolf's Intercontinental Championship.

"the following contest is scheduled for one-fall and it is for the World Wrestling federation Intercontinental Championship!" Lillian Garcia as Matt Hardy and Lita make their way down to the ring. "introducing the challenger first, being accompanied by Lita, weighing 217 lbs... MATT HARDY!"

"Matt Hardy will be without his brother, jeff tonight." JR said as a replay of the Hardy Boyz vs the Dudley boyz last week on SmackDown is shown. "Jeff Hardy was powerbombed through two tables."

Matt and Lita enter the ring and Matt's theme soon dies down.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as smoke fills the stage, the lights dimming to a familiar sinister blood red and dark blue. Trish is standing on the stage in a dark robe, dressed in a black top that gave a great view of her cleavage, wore a black leather skirt that stopped mid-thigh, giving a great view of her long legs and wore a black cowgirl hat, before the Bladewolf walks out, the Intercontinental Championship around his waist, and stands in front of her, facing the ring with a dark glare on his face.

Trish takes the robe off, then walks around him, running a hand seductively across his shoulders as she walks forward to the ring while singing.

"He is time... famine, war... pestilence you cannot endure..." Trish gets in the ring and seductively rubs her body against the ropes as she continues while getting more frantic by the second. "the end is here... the end is here! Fall and Pray! Fall and Pray! Fall and PRAY!"

The lights flash blood red repeatedly as Trish falls to her knees and moves out the way as Bladewolf appears in the ring, unleashing a primal yell as he stands under the flashing red lights while the songs repeats the 'fall and pray' part.

Bladewolf beats his chest in sync with the drum part of the theme and the song slowly ends as Trish slides between Bladewolf's legs and poses on her knees in front of him while her back is pressed against his knees.

The lights go to normal and Trish gets to her feet as Bladewolf takes off his coat followed by his short-sleeved shirt to reveal his ring gear underneath. Bladewolf takes off the Intercontinental Championship, handing it to the referee as Trish gets out at ringside. Bladewolf is staring at Matt Hardy as Lita gets out at ringside.

"This will be the first time Matt hardy and Bladewolf face each other one-on-one." JR said. "Bladewolf faced Matt's brother, Jeff, a few week ago, and even started out with him in the Royal Rumble match. Bladewolf even eliminated both hardys in the Royal Rumble match."

"You know, Matt and Bladewolf have to be lucky guys." Jerry said. "i mean, look at those two sexy ladies they got with them at ringside. Lita with her purple underwear, JR! And Trish... oh, mama..."

"Easy King." JR said with amusement.

The referee holds the title up. showing it's on the line, before handing it to someone at ringside then calls for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!

before any action could get underway, Dean Malenko's theme hits and everyone looks to see Malenko come out. Malenko stands on the stage, watching Lita. Bladewolf looks over at Trish, confused, but Trish just shrugs as she didn't know what was going on herself. Bladewolf saw Matt Hardy was distracted, so he ran up from behind and clobbers Hardy.

"Bladewolf clobbering matt Hardy from behind!" JR exclaimed. "Matt distracted with Dean Malenko on the stage and Bladewolf takes advantage."

"You think Bladewolf will ever show good sportsmanship, JR?" Jerry scoffed. "The guy is a twisted, demonic man who enjoys hurting people and getting into their heads."

"That is true." JR nodded.

Bladewolf grabs Hardy, driving his knees into Matt's gut several times before he tosses him across the ring like a ragdoll. Bladewolf walks over as Hardy stumbles to his feet only to be grabbed from behind and hit with a release German Suplex.

"What impact!" JR said. "Bladewolf sending matt hardy across the ring with a German Suplex!"

Bladewolf gets to his feet and flips his hair back as he adjusts his elbow pads before he walks over to Hardy who is reaching fro the ropes but Bladewolf drags hima way and brings an elbow down on Hardy's left leg, then stomps away on him several times before picking him up and Irish whips him into the corner, runs but Hardy raises his legs and kicks Bladewolf, stopping Bladewolf.

"hardy with his legs!" JR said.

"Hardy's starting to get back into this." Jerry noted.

hardy landed a few right hands to Bladewolf who suddenly floors Hardy with a clothesline that nearly took Matt Hardy's head off. bladewolf gets to a knee, grabs hardy by the hair and stares at Lita before he starts hammering away on Hardy's forehead several times then stops, backing off as he flips his hair back. Bladewolf rebounds off the ropes and hits a legd rop.

"Boom!" Jerry exclaimed.

"What a leg drop." JR nodded. "Across the throat of Matt Hardy." Bladewolf goes for the cover. "the cover!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Thre-!"

Hardy kicks out at two.

Bladewolf gets to his feet, grabs Hardy and hits another German Suplex across the ring. Bladewolf walks over, grabs hardy and hits 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 God!" JR said. "Multiple German Suplexes!"

"Look at Lita!" Jerry said as Lita climbs to the top turnbuckle. "What is she doing?!"

Bladewolf tyrns and Lita leaps off, attempting a Hurricarana but Bladewolf easily caught her and held her upside down by her legs, which were wrapped around his head. Fans wolf whistled as Bladewolf just looked amused and looked down at Lita.

"Uh no." Jerry said, worried for Lita.

"That was not smart on Lita's part." JR said grimly. "Bladewolf is NOT afraid to put his hands on a woman if they attack him first. he's proven that in the past."

Bladewolf gently puts Lita down, then grabs her and sends her rolling out the ring to Trish who holds Lita back, keeping her down. Bladewolf turns around to see Matt had gotten ontot he top turnbuckle and jumps off... BUT BLADEWOLF CAUGHT HIM IN A FIREMAN'S CARRY!

"Matt is caught!" JR exclaimed.

Bladewolf... NAILS THE FURY POF THE WOLF! HE HOOKS THE LEGS!

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three! Ring the bell!" The referee called.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Dead Silent plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet and looks down at Matt with his dark glare. "here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Champion... THE BLADEWOLF!"

"This man... cannot be stopped." JR said. "He'll be Intercontinental Champion until he feels like letting it go."

Bladewolf leaves the ring as Trish joins him, handing him the Intercontinental Championship. They head up the ramp, Bladewolf briefly staring down Dean Malenko before looking back at where Lita was, then he scoffed before walking away with Trish to the back...

And that's it for this chapter. Hoped you liked the Matt Hardy vs Bladewolf match.
