RAW is WAR: 28/5/2001

RAW is WAR was live at the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Vince McMahon comes out. He said how nice it is to be back in Calgary. He said only in Canada we can have the french and English living together in harmony. He said, many are proud to say, I am Canadian! The fans started to cheer. He said maybe you're proud is because you brought America ice hockey and strong beer. He said he would visit Canada, as long as his fellow Americans don't live here.

Chris Jericho's music hits and he comes out. Jericho came to talk and the microphone didn't work and Vince said it was because it was a Canadian microphone. Jericho tells him since he is a billionaire he should at least have a microphone that works. Jericho then says he wants Stone Cold Steve Austin in a match, and he wants it tonight. Vince tells him who the hell do he think he is? He said he is Vince McMahon. Jericho tells him "would you please shut the hell up." He tells him he is a genetic jackhammer, Jericho tells him he created the two biggest sluts. One of them being his precious daughter Stephanie and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Then Jericho shows a footage of Vince signing from 1987 the song called "Stand Back".

Vince tells him how he got that footage, then he tells Jericho, he wants his match, he got it. He tells him that he won't take on Austin, he will take on Big Show. Chris Benoit's music hits and he comes out. Benoit says there is no doubt Vince is a diverse entertainer, and since Jericho has a hardcore title match vs Big Show, he said the match people want to see more is Chris Benoit vs the Bladewolf. Then Benoit tells him not only he's a great singer but he's a great dancer then they show the 1987 footage of Vince dancing and we see Hogan playing the guitar in the back. Vince got mad and tells him that it will be him against Rhyno tonight. He said after their matches, one of them will face the Bladewolf for the belt tonight and he will decide who. Then Jericho calls him a jackass...and they play the 1987 "Stand Back" song again.

After a commercial break, Howard Finkle introduces the first family of wrestling and he introduces Stu Hart and his family sitting at ring side.

Show put Jericho on the top rope, then he gets the steel steps, then Jericho drop kicks him and does the lionsault and we have got ourselves a NEW Hardcore champion.

Jericho was walking back on the entrance ramp and Rhyno comes out of nowhere and spears him and gets the pin and Rhyno wins the hardcore title.

After the match, they grab Molly and TSN censors Raw and they put a crowd shot..so I really didn't see anything, I only heard the audio.

Then Jim Ross talks about Triple H's injury and they show how he injured it. HHH talks about his injury and then they show the surgery etc..it was like a 5-minute clip.

Next was the Main Event, the Bladewolf vs Chris Benoit for the WWF Championship.


OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

'Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah! Get up, come on get down with the sickness!'

Down with the Sickness by Disturbed played to a loud pop from the fans and out comes the Bladewolf and Trish Stratus to a big pop from the crowd, the Bladewolf with the WWF Championship around his waist. The couple make their way down the ramp to the ring and Bladewolf enters while Trish stays outside at ringside, taking Bladewof's coat when he hands it to her.

Bladewolf's theme dies down as he takes off the WWF Championship from around his waist and places it on his shoulder, waiting for his opponent.

Chris Benoit's theme hits and out comes the Rabid Wolverine with a focused, determined look on his face as he wants to become WWF Champion tonight for the first time in his career. Bladewolf watches Benoit closely, having battled him multiple times in the past to know he was a challenge.

Benoit enters the ring and the two men stare each other down as Benoit's theme dies down.

"The following contest, scheduled for one-fall, is for the World Wrestling federation Championship!" Howard Finkel announced. "introducing first to my right, the challenger, from Edmonton, Alberta, Cana da, weighing 229 lbs, he is the co-holder of the Tag Team Championship, the Rabid Wolverine... CHRIS BENOIT!"

benoit stares down Bladewolf who stares back.

"And his opponent, accompanied by Trish Stratus, from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Wolf of Darkness and Destruction... THE BLADEWOLF!"

Bladewolf raises the WWF Championship to cheers from the fans before he hands the title to the referee who holds the title up, showing it's on the line. The referee hands the title to someone at ringside then calls for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Bladewolf and Benoit then lock up and have a test of strength but Benoit gets Bladewolf into a headlock, but the Demon Wolf send shim running into the ropes but Benoit rebounds, comes running back and shoulder blocks Bladewolf which takes the Demon Wolf down onto his back. Benoit rebounds off the ropes, runs across Bladewolf who jumped to his feet, grabs Benoit in a Tilt-A-Whirl, but Benoit managed to reverse it and get Bladewolf into an arm drag which brings Bladewolf down.

Benoit attempts to go for the Crossface but Bladewolf flips Benoit over him but Benoit manages to land on his feet. The crowd gives a round of applause for the sequence between the two wrestlers who circle each other. Benoit rushes at Badewolf but is picked up... AND SPEARED INTO THE CORNER!

Bladewolf drives his shoulder repeatedly into Benoit's stomach before he lands some hammering right hands to Benoit's forehead but Benoit lands a kick to Bladewolf's stomach and reverses their positions, hipping some chops across the chest of the Bladewolf, then delivers stomps to the stomach and legs of the Demon Wolf.

Bladewolf suddenly stands, grabs Benoit by the neck with both hands and reverses their positions, throwing Benoit into the corner. Bladewolf unloads on Benoit with a series of lefts and rights before he strikes at certain parts on the body, landing a blow to the stomach, then the ribcage, then the side of the head, then one to the forehead before he ducks a clothesline from Benoit who turns around into Bladewolf's own clothesline.

Bladewolf flips his hair out of his face before he grabs Benoit and Irish whips him into the ropes, but Benoit ducks the coming big boot and Bladewolf turns around into a dropkick from Benoit, who hooks the leg.

"One!"

"Two-!"

Bladewolf tossed Benoit off.

Bladewof and Benoit get to their feet, with Benoit grabbing Bladewolf from behind to attempt a German Suplex but Bladewolf blocks it and elbows Benoit in the side of the head, knocking him back but Benoit quickly came back as he goes for a frontal suplex but Bladewolf blocks it again, knees Benoit in the gut before he slips behind Benoit, grabs him and hits a German Suplex across the ring.

Bladewolf grabs Benoit and lifts him onto his shoulder before he runs and hits a running powerslam, hooks the leg but Benoit kicks out at two. Bladewolf gets to his feet, flips his hair back and raises his right arm to cheers from the fans.

Benoit makes it to his feet and turns around... INTO A GOOZLE!

Bladewolf lifts Benoit who gets out of Bladewolf's hold and attempts to lock in the Crossface but Bladewolf escapes and backs off. Benoit runs at Bladewolf who ducks it, rebounds off the ropes... AND TAKES BENOIT DOWN WITH A SPEAR!

Bladewolf gets to his feet and waits, watching Benoit stumble to his feet befor ehe scoops Benoit up... AND HITS THE FURY OF THE WOLF! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! THE BLADEWOLF RETAINS THE WWF TITLE!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Down with the Sickness plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet and flips his hair back, about to grab his title when Vince McMahon's theme suddenly hits, causing Bladewolf to frown and look at the stage.

"Hold on there." Vince said as the crowd booed him loudly. "hold on just a second! Now Bladewolf, that match seemed... too quick for my tastes. And I'd hate to rob these fans of such a great moment. Which is why you will be defending the WWF title again right now... against Stone Cold Steve Austin!"

Austin's theme hits and Bladewolf adjusts his elbow pads as he flips his hair back and waits but after several seconds, Austin doesn't come out. Bladewolf frowns and stands up straight before he is suddenly turned around, booted in the gut... AND HIT WITH THE STONE COLD STUNNER!

"Now ring the bell!" Vince ordered and the bell is reluctantly rung.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Austin stomps on Bladewolf several times before picking him up, kicks him in the stomach... AND HITS A SECOND STONE COLD STUNNER! AUSTIN HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! WE HAVE NEW CHAMPION! AUSTIN IS THE CHAMPION AGAIN!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Austin's theme plays as Austin was quick to roll out the ring and grab the WWF Championship and run up the ramp to join Vince on the stage, raising the WWF Championship. Austin is now a 7-time WWF Champion!

"Oh, and I forgot to mention a little stipulation, my mind must be going nuts these days." Vince said with a sinister smile. "Bladewolf, the stipulation of this match with Austin... is that should you lose, and you did you will NEVER ever get a rematch or a shot at the WWF title for the rest of the year. As for your rematch calsue... you can only use that for the other titles, but not the WWF title. So you'll just have to wait until... the Royal Rumble to get a chance at a WWF title shot."

Austin's music resumes as Bladewolf glares at Austin and Vince, knowing he should've seen this coming. Once again, Bladewolf is no longer WWF Champion thanks to Austin and Vince...


And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it.
