RAW is WAR: 7/5/2001
RAW is WAR was live at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Mick Foley came to the ring to a standing ovation as RAW began.
Mick said that now that he's no longer commissioner, he basically just wanders around making personal appearances, and he figured that Long Island was a perfect place for a personal appearance! Foley said he also cheered his ass off last Thursday when the Bladewolf tossed Stone Cole Steve Austin through a plate glass window. Foley said that, come Judgement Day, Bladewolf is going to be Stone Cold through his own personal hell! Mick said that he didn't want Stone Cold to get upset, because he knew what it was like to be inside Hell in a Cell with the Bladewolf one time in 1998, and it was just as brutal as his Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998.
As Foley continued to talk in the ring, William Regal ran to just-arriving Vince McMahon and told him that Foley was in the ring! Mr. McMahon quickly went to the ring, with his daughter Stephanie and William Regal in tow.
Vince grabbed a microphone and told Mick that he reminded Vince of an unwanted houseguest, because you never know when he'll show up, and when he does, he stays too long! Mr. McMahon told Mick that things have changed since Mick was fired - The Rock had been suspended and Stone Cold and Triple H formed an outstanding alliance. Vince also mentioned that Triple H was a little under the weather and would probably not be at the arena! Finally, Vince said that there was a respectable commissioner in William Regal. Vince then told Mick to get out of his ring!
Vince said he had a better idea - instead of having Mick leave, he would have Rikishi throw him out of the ring!
At that, the 400-pound Samoan Rikishi came out to the ring. Mick told Rikishi that he didn't have to touch Mick, because he watched Stone Cold, when he returned, hit Rikishi repeatedly with a steel chair while Regal and Vince sat by idly! Mick said that Vince and Regal were there now, but where were they when they needed him?
Stephanie said that Rikishi better listen to her daddy, because Mick didn't and he got fired! Stephanie said he better go give Mick a Stink Face immediately! As Rikishi stood there, Stephanie slapped him! Rikishi then flattened William Regal with a boot to the face! As Mr. McMahon, Stephanie and Regal retreated to the back, Mick Foley told them to cut his music and play Rikishi's music!
The sound technicians then hit Rikishi's dance music! Mick and Rikishi then brought the house down with an amazing dance performance! As he danced, Vince returned to the stage and said that he was going to have the police throw him out, and he was also going to have Rikishi fight Stone Cold in the night's main event!
During the break, police escorted Mick Foley out of the arena.
Kurt Angle came up to Edge and Christian and apologized for snapping at them last week. He also said they probably snapped at him because they were so upset that Chris Benoit stole his gold medals. Kurt said that if Edge or Christian saw Benoit, they should get him, snap his ankle, and take the medals back. After Kurt walked away, Edge said he hoped they could get the medals back, just so he wouldn't have to hear Kurt talk about it any more.
In one-on-one action, Kurt Angle faced Bradshaw. The Tough Texan really pounded on Angle as the match began, but soon, Angle tossed Bradshaw out of the ring. Then, live from WWF New York, Chris Benoit asked his waiter if he accepted gold! As Angle watched on, Bradshaw nailed him with a Clothesline from Hell! Angle then rolled out of the ring and ran up the ramp! Angle ran to someone's car, threw him out, and took off!
Before their match against Edge, Christian and Rhyno, the Hardy Boyz told Eddie Guerrero that the only reason they were teaming with him was because Commissioner Regal forced them to. Eddie went on to explain to them that he wants to see Lita beat Chyna, but Lita stopped him and said that it would take a lot more than talk for the Hardys to trust him. Eddie shrugged and said he'd show them in the ring.
That match was next, and it began with Matt Hardy in the ring with Christian. Soon, several tags were made, and Jeff Hardy found himself in the ring with Christian. As Christian pummeled Jeff, Eddie Guerrero distracted the referee! Soon, all six competitors found themselves in the ring and Lita nailed Edge with a hurricanrana! As Rhyno lined up to hit her with a Gore, Eddie Guerrero got in his way and took the hit! Rhyno then covered Eddie for the pin.
In a Fatal Fourway, Jerry Lynn defended his Light Heavyweight Title against Taka, Crash and GrandMaster Sexay. Lynn rolled up Crash to retain his title. After the match, he kicked Crash a few times for good measure.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, joining us from Stamford is the Wolf of Darkness and Destruction, the Bladewolf." JR said as the Bladewolf appeared on the titantron live from Stamford Connecticut at WWF HQ. "Bladewolf, what do you think of Mr. McMahon giving you this cooling off period, essentially barring you from the building?"
Bladewolf scoffed. "Vince is afraid of what I'll do to Austin before he steps into the Hell in a Cell with me at Judgment Day. And after what happened on SmackDown... I don't blame McMahon. Austin, you made your deal with the Devil, boy, you made it for that WWF title that you took from me, which makes you number 1 on my list of prey that I hunt. This is how it goes, Austin, you have what i want which means you should be scared, you NEED to be scared. From now until Judgment Day, you better be scared, you better look over your shoulder, you better sleep with one eye, and you better go to Church every weekend and say your prayers and beg the Almighty himself for your soul to be saved, because when you walk into Judgment Day... when you walk into that cell with me, it ain't gonna be you on Earth... you're going to be in Hell itself. I'm going to beat you, I'm going to hurt you badly, I'm going to bust you up, and I'm going to make you experience pain and suffering the likes of which you have NEVER felt in your entire life. Look back at all the ways I've hurt people in the past, if I can do that to people without mercy... can you imagine what I'm going to do to you inside Hell in a Cell? let me give you a short example of what I'm going to do, at Judgment Day, Hell in a Cell... I'm going to skin a Rattlesnake and feed the skin to my wolves."
Bladewolf smirked...
Yeah, Hell in a Cell is Bladewolf's home, he become demonic every time it draws nearer.
