Monday Night RAW: 18/2/2002
Monday Night RAW was live at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. RAW wasted no time in getting started as Stone Cold Steve Austin romped down the entrance ramp. An obviously pumped up Stone Cold immediately grabbed a cooler filled with beer from ringside and tossed it into the ring, along with a steel chair. "I'm a little bit pissed off," the Rattlesnake growled. Stone Cold retold the events of the previous evening at No Way Out where the nWo cost him his chance to take the Undisputed Championship away from Y2J. Stone Cold immediately told Hogan, Hall and Nash to get down to the ring!
While Stone Cold was talking, the television screen went fuzzy and to black and white. Suddenly, the nWo's music hit and the infamous trio sauntered out! Stone Cold ordered the men to come to the ring, where he would whip each one of them!
The nWo huddled up and discussed some strategy while Austin continued to call them out. But instead of taking him up on the challenge, Hogan, Hall and Nash turned their backs and retreated backstage while Austin continued his verbal assault.
Austin set up the steel chair and said he would sit there and drink beer all night until the three came to the ring and confronted him. "All you're doing is pissing me off more!" Austin growled. "And that's fine with me!" RAW broke for commercial, with Austin defiantly chugging a Steveweiser.
When RAW returned, Austin continued to berate the nWo and demand that they come down and face him. Without warning, Kurt Angle appeared beneath the TitanTron flanked by a half dozen security guards. Angle said the men were off-duty cops, courtesy of Vince McMahon, who was not at the arena. Angle said that one thing he can not stand is a whiner, and he ordered Stone Cold to leave the ring so he could make an important announcement. Austin refused to move. Actually, he did move a little bit. Stone Cold began hurling cans of beer at Angle!
Angle told Austin to knock it off or else he would have him arrested. But Stone Cold simply chucked more brews at the Olympic Hero! Angle and the guards began to march toward the ring with Angle continuing to order Stone Cold to vacate the squared circle. Once in the ring, Angle told Austin he could stay while he made his announcement. Angle puffed up his chest and said that he would be going to WrestleMania X8 where he would become the Undisputed Champion! The Rattlesnake struck without warning. He sprang from his chair and knocked Angle to the canvas, taking down one of the off-duty cops in the process. The other guards subdued Austin while Angle said that Stone Cold was going to jail. The guards shackled Austin and forced him out of the ring and up the entrance ramp while Angle continued his taunting.
Next up, the Hardy Boyz made their return to RAW, accompanied by the lovely Lita, as they battled the tag team of Christian and Lance Storm. Jeff and Matt started off hot as they quickly hit a Poetry In Motion on Storm. The momentum shifted, however, as Christian hit a brutal gutbuster on Jeff. Christian hit a reverse DDT on Matt and went for the pin, but Matt kicked out, and the crybaby Christian started throwing a tantrum! On the outside, Lita took care of Storm with a Litacanrana, as Matt hit a Twist of Fate on Christian and Jeff finished their opponent off with a Swanton Bomb for the victory!
Backstage, Kurt Angle entered Stephanie McMahon's locker room. She thanked Angle for having Stone Cold Steve Austin arrested earlier on RAW, and she also thanked him for taking care of her husband, Triple H, "clean" with an Angle Slam at No Way Out. Federation co-owner Ric Flair entered the locker room and told the duo that Mr. McMahon was a genius for making the Angle/Triple H match at No Way Out for the No. 1 contendership. Flair then said that it was such a good idea that Angle would be facing The Game again on RAW for the No. 1 contendership! Flair also added that if Stephanie interfered in any way during the match, then Triple H would automatically regain his Undisputed Federation Championship shot at WrestleMania X8. Flair left as an irate Stephanie and Angle screamed in disgust!
Backstage, Undertaker angrily accosted a photographer and demanded to know where Ric Flair's office was. The mild-mannered photographer finally managed to point out the direction and the pissed-off Dead Man headed that way.
Once inside Flair's office, Taker said that the men were not even until Taker said they were. Taker said he wanted to see Flair in the ring at WrestleMania so he could beat him down in front of the world. Flair said he was an owner, not a wrestler. Taker said he would see what he could do to change Flair's mind.
The Bladewolf was shown backstage with Trish, getting a cheer from the crowd since they hadn't seen Bladewolf since Bulletproof turned on him back on the first RAW on 2002. Tonight he returns to action against Mr. Perfect.
"Well look who it is." Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall come into view, to boos from the crowd. "It's the Demon Wolf of Destruction himself, The Bladewolf. This guy is a legend in the making boys."
Nash chuckles and nods. "Very impressive, man."
"You is a very bad man, worse than the bad guy, chico." Hall said.
"Good to see your doing well after Bulletproof turned on ya, those guys were always an annoyance even back in WCW." Hogan said. "I've seen how you made everyone fear you when you came to the WWF, beat the best this business has and quickly becoming one of the biggest names in WWF. I especially liked the wolf mask you had, very terrifying. But I don't know about the face paint, kinda reminds me of this one guy that was a pain in the ass for us. I don't wanna sound rude, but you may be kinda stealing off of his gimmick with the bat but it's cool, totally cool."
"You know, if we had your destructive nature in our group, we could've been the most dominant group in professional wrestling. Hell, we would've made you an honorary member. Maybe one of our leaders." Nash said.
Hogan nods. "That would've been great idea."
"Maybe it can still be." Hall said. "Since we're here, I got a little gift for you." he takes out an nWo shirt and hands it to Bladewolf who looks it over.
"And let's not forget your special lady here. We got something just for her." Nash said and shows a revealing NWO shirt and gives it to Trish.
"Whaddya say? Wanna join up with us?" Hogan offered.
Bladewolf and Trish look at one another before Bladewolf tosses the shirt aside. "Thanks but no. I remember when I tried out for WCW, but then I realized you were there. As soon as I step foot in that company, I would've been buried faster than you can poke someone to death. Also, I didn't steal Sting's character, I took inspiration of him and I asked for his permission. I would rather lose to Doink the clown than join up with a bunch of has been jackasses who's egos are so big, you'd rather destroy careers than ensure they have a future. Guys like Sting and Bret have earned my respect cause they care about the talent and ensure they have a future in this business. You, however, make sure they don't get any bigger than you. And don't even get me started on these two, they're just as big a reason no one could thrive in WCW. How about you take your offer and these shirts and shove them down your throats and choke on your own poison, just like how you choked the WCW with your politicking. Now how about you get out of my way, I got a match to win."
Bladewolf walks past them, Trish following and tossing her shirt into Nash's face. "Hey no need to act like that baby." he taps her ass.
Trish whirls around and slaps him across the face, which enraged Nash as he goes for her but Bladewolf got in between them and the two went eye to eye with each other, both breathing heavily. They butt heads as they glare at one another.
"Kevin, C'mon buddy." Hogan said as he and Hall pull Nash away. Hogan looks at Bladewolf. "you know I actually liked you when you wore that make and were silent, being this destructive, dark, demonic monster from Hell. Now look at you. Bulletproof was right, you are pathetic."
With that, Hogan walks away as Bladewolf stares after them before he whirls and punches the wall with heavy breathing coming from him.
In the arena, Mr. Perfect's theme hits and he comes out to the ring for his match against the Bladewolf. This will be the first time they ever meet in the ring and the fans were looking forward to it. Perfect enters the ring and his theme soon dies down as he waits for his opponent.
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. However, after several seconds, neither the Bladewolf or Trish come out to the ring much to everyone's confusion.
The Titantron then shows Bladewolf backstage with his duffel bags in hand, dressed in normal clothing and walking in the parking lot to his car with Trish running after him.
"Where are you going? You got a match tonight!" trish told him.
"Don't care." Bladewolf said coldly as he opened the trunk and put his bags in. "Trish... I can't stand this anymore. I've dealt with too much crap since November with this company, and now I have these WCW rejects coming and questioning me? Vince thought it was a good idea to bring them in? Screw him and the nWo. you don't have a match tonight, so you getting in or what?"
Trish sighed but nodded and got in the car and Bladewolf was about to get in himself when Vince came up.
"Woah hold on there!" Vince said as Bladewolf groaned and glared at Vince. "Who said you can leave? You have a match tonight."
"Well, I say I don't." Bladewolf scoffed. "I'm leaving this damn arena."
"On whose authority?" Vince growled as he and Bladewolf got in each other's faces and glared at each other.
"On mine." Bladewolf growled back. "Let me remind you of something, Vince, if it wasn't for me at Survivor Series... there wouldn't be a WWF right now, it would be WCW and ECW. And how do you repay me? By bringing in those WCW rejects? The man that kisses your ass the ass? No, I ain't accepting that. i'm tired of the comments I hear behind my back, that I'm not who I used to be. So either get things sorted... or I quit."
Bladewolf goes to get in when vicne grabs him, and Bladewolf snapped as he grabs Vince, shove shim against the car then tosses him aside with heavy breathing coming from him before he gets in the car and shuts the door, driving off as Vince lays on the floor in shock...
