Monday Night RAW: 29/10/2001
Monday Night RAW was live at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. RAW opened with World Wrestling Federation Chairman Vince McMahon entering the ring while the entire army of Federation Superstars gathered around the squared circle. The Bladewolf was seen standing with the Undertaker, Kane and Trish Stratus.
In the ring, Vince grabs a microphone and his theme dies down. "I'm happy to report to you tonight that at Survivor Series, the World Wrestling federation will wipe the Alliance.. OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!" The crowd popped loudly. "And with it, the two-headed monster that runs the Alliance, Shane and Stephanie McMahon. last Thursday night on SmackDown, Shane McMahon pinned his very own mother's arms behind her back, and Stephanie slapped her own mother down to the floor. that act will NOT go unpunished! As a matter of fact, Shane, you and Stephanie, I know you can hear me and I would suggest you not only worry about surviving Survivor Series, but I would worry about the ass kicking I'm going to give you tonight! Now as far as Survivor Series is concerned, allow me to introduce to you Team WWF! The five members of this team will represent the World Wrestling Federation in a 10-man Elimination tag team match to determine who will win it all! Firstly, allow me to introduce to you... THE UDNERTAKER!"
The crowd cheers loudly as the Undertaker gets into the ring.
"And the Undertaker's brothers... KANE AND THE BLADEWOLF!" Vince announced, causing Kane and Bladewolf to join Undertaker in the ring. "Y2J!" Chris Jericho enters the ring. "And the fifth person of this team... THE ROCK!"
The crowd pops loudly as the Rock enters the ring and joins the other men.
"There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, team WWf!" Vince announced before Stephanie McMahon's theme hits and out comes the owner of ECW.
"Hi daddy!" Stephanie smiled as the crowd booed her. "Hi everybody! I'm sorry to interrupt your little announcement, but I've got an announcement of my own. You see, dad, Shane and I, we might be a two-headed monster. We might be ruthless, but we are definitely successful. And we are downright clever! i mean, take last Thursday in SmackDown for example. Shane and I set you up good! Shane sent that phony note for you to meet him in the parking lot, leaving poor Mom all alone in your office. And then Shane went and grabbed- You know what, let's let actions speak for themselves!"
Stephanie pointed to the Titantron, which showed the footage of Shane holding his own mother and allowing Stephanie to slap her. Once the footage was over, Stephanie had a smug smirk on her face,.
"Now Dad, if Shane and I are capable of doing that to Mom... imagine what we're capable of doing to you and the WWF at Survivor Series." Stephanie said. "But going back to Mom for a minute, who i know is sitting at home, trembling and scared of what's going to happen to her poor husband. Well, I'd like to dedicate tonight's match between my brother, Shane McMahon, and you old man, to my Mom! So Mom, I hope you enjoy it when my brother DESTROYS my father on worldwide television! So without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the very man who will do just that, my brother, the gladiator... SHANE MCMAHON!"
Shane's theme plays and out comes the WCW owner who comes to stand next to his sister, taking the microphone. "You know, Dad, nothing is going to give me more pleasure tonight than coming down there and tearing you apart. Actually there is, I just thought of something. There is one thing that will give me great pleasure, and Dad listen to me because this is BIG! This is enormous! Because tonight, live here on RAW, a member of your precious World Wrestling Federation will defect to the Alliance right here tonight! Who will it be? Matter of fact, I'm looking at that person right now."
Team WWF shared looks with each other, slight distrust beginning to build from what Shane said, at who could possibly be defecting.
"So Dad, while you still have a little teeth left... chew on that!" Shane smirked as his theme played and he and Stephanie go backstage as team WWF continue to stare at each other before RAW goes to commercial break.
After a break, Stephanie and Shane went backstage and entered the dressing room of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold said there was no way the Federation would figure out who was jumping sides that night. The Rattlesnake put an ear to his wristwatch and said it was time for Shane to open a can of whoopass on Vince that night!
Federation Hardcore Champion Rob Van Dam arrived in the ring to challenge Edge for the Federation Intercontinental Championship. Rob Van Dam displayed his amazing flexibility, but Edge countered with some amazing movements himself. With Edge dazed and lying on the mat, RVD went for a split-legged moonsault. But Edge blocked the move and RVD took a pair of kness to the stomach. Edge hit Van Dam with a spear, but the Hardcore Champion kicked out. Shortly after, RVD missed a Five-Star Frog Splash that Edge dodged! The Intercontinental Champion hit the challenger with a DDT and took the pin.
Stone Cold laughed while watching the action backstage and said RVD made him sick. Tazz came in and said the suspense was killing him. He had to know who was defecting that night. Stone Cold asked if Tazz knew what his watch said. Tazz said yes, it was time to tell Tazz who was jumping ship. Austin retorted that his watch was saying it would be nice if Tazz left the dressing room because Stone Cold was getting annoyed. Debra then tried to coax her husband into revealing the traitor's identity, to which he replied, "What?"
The APA were deep in a card game when Bradshaw reminded Farooq that he was a former WCW Champion. Farooq said that was no joke. The men then wondered who was the traitor and asked a third person at the table what kind of hand he had. The camera panned over to Perry Saturn who replied, "Go fish!" Farooq told Saturn his hand wouldn't win in the game the APA was playing. Federation referee Teddy Long interrupted the game to summon the trio to an urgent meeting among Federation Superstars. Farooq and Bradshaw slapped their cards down and went to the meeting while Saturn grabbed an armful of beers and followed.
The evening's next match featured Tajiri and Torrie Wilson versus The Hurricane and Mighty Molly. Hurricane went for his Eye of the Hurricane finisher early on, but Tajiri dodged and countered with a stiff kick. Both men tagged in their female counterparts and Torrie began throwing Molly around the ring. She even hit Hurricane's sidekick with Tajiri's patented handspring elbow off the ropes.
Hurricane rushed to Molly's aid, but found himself locked in the Tarantula! But Molly took advantage and rolled up Torrie for the win.
Chris Jericho addressed the Federation Superstars gathered in the locker room. Y2J said that working in WCW and ECW was the worst experience of his life. He said he loved the Federation and he tried to call out the traitor. He demanded the person reveal his or her identity. The Rock entered the locker room. As the saying goes, Jericho said, finally, The Rock has decided to show up for the meeting. Rocky asked Jericho when he became leader of the Federation. Jericho said he became the leader when he beat The Rock for the WCW Championship.
Rock handed Spike his Federation Tag Team Championship Belt. He admitted that Jericho did in fact win the big one…once. The Rock said he was winning big ones back when Jericho was in WCW getting his ass whooped by Juventud Guerrera on Monday Nitro!
The Rock said he was with the Federation and threatened whomever it was that planned on jumping to the Alliance that night. The People's Champion proceeded to adjourn the meeting.
Earlier in the day, as shown by some video footage, a cadre of superstars held a SmackDown Your Vote rally at the University of Louisville. The Federation's campaign has registered tens of thousands of new voters in its two-year existence.
In his locker room Stone Cold said the meeting held by Federation Superstars was stupid. William Regal came in at the request of the Federation Champion. Stone Cold said it was important for Regal to bring the WCW United States Championship to the Alliance that evening. Austin told Regal to send Angle to the Rattlesnake's dressing room before the match that evening.
The Brothers of Destruction were seen in their locker room. "What say we jump on them Dudleys quick, we take those titles, and we're out of here?" Undertaker suggested, getting nods from his brothers.
Suddenly the door slammed shut and Chris Jericho entered. "Ah, so there you are! I've been looking all over for you guys! A WWF superstar is defecting to the Alliance tonight and I can't find you guys! We just had a meeting and there's no Taker, there's no Kane, and there's no Bladewolf! Where the hell were you, huh?! Huh?!"
"Can you believe this guy?" Undertaker muttered to his brothers before he stood and got in Jericho's face. "Who in the hell do you think you are barging into our dressing room, running off at the mouth? And in the hell is Chris Jericho to call a WWF meeting? Let me remind you, you little sawed-off piss-ant, while you were running around sucking your thumb in diapers, I was kicking people's asses here, so i don't need to-"
"Hey, Hey, Hey." Bladewolf stepped in. "He's just a little excited."
"Why don't you back off little brother?" Undertaker snapped.
"Hey! First of all that's why we need you at a time like this, Taker." Jericho said. "You've been here for ten years, everybody respects you, everybody knows who you are, we need you right now! And second of all, you are not the one I'm insinuating is gonna jump to the Alliance."
Jericho looks at Bladewolf, causing Undertaker and Kane to look at him as well. Bladewolf didn't look happy at the accusation. RAW goes to commercial.
Diamond Dallas Page walked into the ring with his trademark grin. DDP told the crowd he had a surprise. He knew who was leaving the Federation and coming to the Alliance. Page said the superstar was huge! Page said it was The Big Show. Page said this was the case because Federation Superstars thought Show was overweight and makes funny noises. But that's a good thing, Page said, because now The Big Show knows his friends are in the Alliance. The Big Show suddenly came out and climbed in the ring. DDP said he liked The Big Show and he knows the big man liked Page. Page was going to help Show like himself. Page went to shake Big Show's hand, but the 7-foot-2, 500-pound Show chokeslammed Page instead!
Kurt Angle met up with Vince McMahon backstage. Angle said he had something very important to discuss. Vince said he knew the topic: Angle was concerned about his title defense that night. Kurt said that wasn't what it was about. Angle advised Vince that Austin wants to have a meeting with the Olympic Hero and Angle felt Austin should know beforehand. Vince said he didn't trust Austin and gave Angle a funny look. Angle vehemently defended himself and his loyalty to the Federation. Vince told Angle to have the meeting and he gave Kurt a wooden club he originally planned to use in the street fight. Kurt thanked the chairman and said if Austin gave him any trouble he would knock his head off.
Booker T arrived at the ring and was soon joined by Test. The two would lock up with The Rock and Chris Jericho with the Federation Tag Team Championship on the line. Booker T and Test took turns pounding on Y2J early in the match. But the WCW Champion managed to work his way out of a jam and tag in the Great One. The Rock began demolishing both men, hitting Test with a DDT and tossing Booker T through the ropes. But Rocky accidentally struck Jericho in the process of wrecking the opponents. Jericho retaliated by smashing the Great One while set up for the People's Elbow!
Test tried to take advantage, but Jericho broke up the pin attempt and then begged Rock to make the tag. Rock made the tag, threw Jericho into the ring and hit a Rock Bottom. Rock then turned to walk up the entrance ramp but dashed back to break up Test's pin attempt on Jericho. While The Rock took care of Booker T with a Rock Bottom, Jericho earned the win with the Walls of Jericho on Test. The Federation tandem angrily exchanged words following the match.
Cameras followed Kurt Angle as he faced off against Stone Cold with the 2 by 4 ready to strike. Austin said he could trust him and to put the wood down. Angle relaxed, and Austin asked the Olympic Hero to join the Alliance! Angle asked who was jumping sides to the Alliance that evening. Austin said he could not say. Austin told Angle good luck that night in his match, he also said that he could see The Rock turning, but not himself. Angle said he didn't need any luck and then told Austin to go to hell! Angle stomped away and left behind a very pissed off Rattlesnake.
In the arena's service area, Michael Cole caught up with The Rock. The Rock angrily said Jericho had better get ready to get his ass whipped. Cole said he wanted Rock's reaction to Angle's comments that the Great One would be joining the Alliance. A surprised Rocky asked Cole to direct him to Kurt Angle.
Stacy Keible came to the ring for her match against Lita. Last Thursday on SmackDown!, Stacy helped cost the Hardy Boyz their WCW Tag Team Championship against the Dudleys. Lita hit Stacy with a suplex and went for a pin, but the Alliance girl kicked out. Lita soon threw Stacy from the ring and launched a body press toward her opponent. But she missed and crashed into the retaining wall. Matt Hardy came out to his girlfriend's aid, and put her back in the ring. Stacy came up and taunted Matt, who struck Lita with his elbow as he went to strike the girl.
Lita recovered and took the pin, but she left the ring only after screaming angrily at her boyfriend.
The Bladewolf was seen walking down a corridor backstage with a displeased look on his face and his baseball bat in hand. Soon enough, he ran into Bulletproof.
"hey, where you going?" Jackal asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Bladewolf to whirl on them with his bat raised. "Woah! Woah! Woah! Easy there, we aren't with the Alliance anymore. I trust you saw how Shane and Stephnaie treated us just because we couldn't win the titles."
"So what?" Bladewolf asked. "I haven't forgotten that you two put your hands on my girlfriend, Trish Stratus."
"Right, well, we're sorry about that." Bloodwolf said. "We... we did it for the money that Shane and Stephanie offered, but we got treated as a joke! We accepted a long time ago that WCW was dead and buried, we got just too hungry for money. Listen, we saw how you seemed to be accused of defecting to the Alliance tonight, and I know that pisses you off, even your own brothers are thinking it. But if you ask us... we wouldn't trust Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle, do remember Jericho was in WCW before he came to WWF."
"Look, we want to put our past issues behind us and... offer you and Trish a place within Bulletproof." Jackal said. "Bloodwolf and I... we're sick and tired of being treated like crap, we've been kicked out of the Alliance, we doubt the WWF wants us, so we're just walking around with nothing to do. We wouldn't mind a third and fourth member, we've actually considered it back in WCW, but if you saw who was in the company at the time and how it was going... we trusted no one."
"And what makes you think you can trust me?" Bladewolf asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well you can prove it to us by fighting with us." Jackal said seriously. "If the WWF don't need you, and the Alliance doesn't need you, if you want to get those frustrations out, then you know where our locker room is."
With that, Jackal and Bloodwolf walked away, leaving Bladewolf to stare after them with a contemplating look on his face-painted face.
Kurt Angle prepped for his match as The Rock came in and confronted him. Rock asked what Angle was doing talking to Austin. Angle explained that he got permission to talk to Austin from Vince McMahon. Rock said he didn't care and ordered Angle to not question his loyalty. The men stared each other down while Rock asked how he was supposed to know that Angle wasn't the one turning his back on the Federation. "Me? I don't think so," Angle said.
At WWF New York, Commissioner Mick Foley proudly displayed his new book, "Halloween Hijinks." Mick said that he made the earlier Federation Tag Team Championship match because Alliance Commissioner William Regal agreed to put the Dudleys' WCW Tag Team Championship on the line against Kane and Taker.
William Regal, with new entrance music blaring, entered the ring in an attempt to take the WCW U.S. Championship away from Kurt Angle. Regal's tenacious, physical onslaught was no match for the champion. Angle won the match by forcing his opponent to tap out to the ankle lock.
Undertaker was approached in the locker room by Vince McMahon. Vince wished Taker luck in the match for the WCW Tag Team Championship. Taker said that in 11 years he never even got so much as a "Kiss my ass" from Vince. Taker said he knew Vince was worried that either the Dead Man or Kane were going to jump sides that night. Vince, finding himself sandwiched between the two hulking brothers, wished them luck and turned to leave. Taker told Vince the two didn't need any luck, but Vince did. Undertaker then asked if he'd seen Bladewolf, to which Kane said no.
Stacy Keibler escorted D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley to the ring for the tandem's first WCW Tag Team Championship defense. The Brothers of Destruction began to pick apart the defending champions. Kane appeared to have things won when he chokeslammed D-Von. But a distracted referee allowed Bubba Ray to clock Kane with a belt! Moments later, Kane suffered a 3-D that ended the match.
As the Dudleys celebrated their victory however... THEY WERE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY BULLETPROOF!
"What the hell is this?!" JR shouted. "That's Bulletproof! Former Alliance members!"
"What the hell are they doing here?!" heyman shouted. "The Dudleys just retained their titles! this is no time for frustrations!"
"You guys kicked Bulletproof out of the Alliance, it's your fault." JR shrugged.
Stacey keibler walked up and... SLAPPED JACKAL! Jackal just smirked and told her to turn around and she did so... ONLY TO GET A SPER FROM TRISH STRAUTUS!
"Trish Stratus with a Spear!" JR exclaimed. "What is she doing here?!"
Bubba Ray attempts to sneak attack Bloodwolf from behind... BUT IS ATTACKED FROM BEIND BY THE BLADEWOLF!
"It's Bladewolf!" Jr shouted. "Bladewolf's here! He's helping Bulletproof!"
"He's left the WWF!" Heyman shouted. "I'm calling it!"
"And attacking Alliance members if he's in the Alliance?" JR raised an eyebrow.
Bladewolf beats down Bubba Ray with stomps as Trish tosses Stacey aside and Bulletproof continues to beat down the Dudley Boyz until they feel like their finished. Bladewolf then started to go check on his brothers but paused and looked away then at his brothers who stared back in confusion.
Bladewolf gets off the apron and backs up the ramp with Jackal, Bloodwolf and Trish.
"i don't think Bladewolf was too happy about being accused of possibly defecting to the Alliance tonight." JR said. "He's not going with his brothers, something he's done for the past year."
The now 4-man group that is Bulletproof walk backstage as RAW goes to commercial break.
Sane O'Mac and Vince were shown as they headed to the ring for their hotly anticipated Street Fight. After a break, father and son met each other at the squared circle and came to blows.
Vince pummeled his son with his bare fists then smashed a steel sign over his boy's head. The beating continued as Vince rammed Shane into the ring steps and the ring post. Shane gasped for breath as his father wrapped an electrical cord around his neck and cut off his son's air. Vince threw Shane into the ring and tossed in a few garbage cans and a kendo stick as well.
Vince wound up to smack Shane with a trashcan, but was struck by a low blow. The Boy Wonder took control by repeatedly smashing a trashcan lid over his father's head. Shane set a trashcan on his father's chest, climbed the top rope and launched a Shooting Star Press! But Vince caught wind and moved, causing Shane to land on the trashcan.
Mr. McMahon regained the upper hand by cracking his son with the kendo stick over and over again. The brutality continued with Vince knocking Shane outside the ropes. The Federation Chairman cleared the announce table of monitors but met a few trash can lids to the head and a TV monitor to the skull from his son.
With his father dazed, Shane crept back into the ring and vaulted to the top rope. Shane launched himself at his father and both men crashed through the solid wood table! Shane gathered his senses and took Vince back into the ring.
Vince recovered in time to kick out after a two-count. Shane propped his father in the corner of the ring and assaulted him with repeated blows. In a sickening scene, Shane set a trash can up on his prone father and went to the opposite ring corner where he set out to reenact his amazing feat from WrestleMania X-7. Vince moved at the last second, and suddenly, Alliance and Federation Superstars stormed out to aid their respective leaders.
the crowd cheered as Bladewolf came running down with his baseball bat in hand and struck any Alliance superstar he could see, but he ended up... GETTING SLAMMED WITH AN ANGLE SLAM! KURT ANGLE WAS THE ONE DEFECTING!
Angle grabbed a steel chair and smashed The Rock in the head with it. After Shane pinned his father, Angle, Austin and Shane celebrated as RAW faded to a close...
And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it, as well as Bladewolf and Trish becoming part of Bulletproof and turning it into a 4-man group, well 3 men and one woman, but you know what I mean!
Bladewolf is still with the WWF, he just got frustrated at his brothers thinking he's defecting and has made some new friends.
