RAW is WAR: 14/9/1998
RAW is WAR was live at the San Jose Arena in San Jose, California. WWF Breakdown was only 13 days away. 13 days until WWF fans will see the Fatal 4-Way match for the WWF Championship, in which Stone Cold Steve Austin will defend his title against the Bladewolf, the Undertaker and Kane. And it was all part of Vince McMahon's grand master plan to ensure that Austin would not be WWF Champion anymore.
The RAW opening video had played and the pyro had gone off to open the show. Vince McMahon was already in the ring and with him were the Brothers of Destruction. The Bladewolf had his WWF Intercontinental Championship around his waist as he stood in one of the corners. However, the sound of glass shattering commences as Stone Cold's theme plays to a loud pop from the fans in San Jose as the WWF Champion starts making his way to the ring.
"Well here comes the Rattlesnake and welcome everybody to WWF RAW." JR said. "We are live tonight here in San Jose, California at the sold out arena. Mr. McMahon, the Undertaker, the Bladewolf and Kane cme to the ring just before we went on the air and now here's Stone Cold Steve Austin."
"Look out Mr. mcMahon!" jerry exclaimed as Austin enters the ring and starts going to each of the turnbuckles to do his pose with the WWF Title.
"CUT THE DAMN MUSIC! I SAID CUT IT OFF!" Vince shouted, causing Austin's music to be cut off.
"He's irate, is the boss." JR said.
"I'M DAMN SICK AND TIRED OF WATCHING YOU WALK AROUND WITH THAT WWF CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!" Vince snarled as he glared at the man who's been the bane of his existence this past year. "And on Sunday night, September 27 I won't have to see it again. Most of you know that recently I announced a master plan. A master plan that would guarantee that Stone Cold Steve Austin on Sunday night, September 27 would lose the WWF championship."
The crowd booed at the reminder, not believing it one but. "he's coming out, telling it like it is, JR" Jerry said happily.
"Most of you also know that in yet a further on this night, Sunday night, September 27 I've ordered a Triple Threat Match in which Stone Cold Steve Austin would defend the WWF title against The Undertaker, the Bladewolf and Kane." Vince said.
"Wow." jerry said.
"Impossible odds for anyone to overcome." JR stated.
"However, what none of you know—especially you, Austin—is there's been a little business arrangement here, as you might suspect." Vince said with a slight smirk. "You see, I've granted The Undertaker, the Bladewolf and Kane a title shot, but they're gonna do a little something for me as well. You see, business is business—don't get me wrong! There's no love lost between Vince McMahon and The Undertaker and the Bladewolf and Kane. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE OR FORGET what you've done! However, it's real simple, Austin. You see, I scratch their back and they scratch mine."
"What's he talking about now?" Jerry asked with confusion.
"Or maybe, maybe I shouldn't say they scratched my back; maybe I should say they protect my back." Vince said, his smirking growing wider.
"Huh?" Jerry was still confused.
"You see, Austin, if you so much as lay one finger on me one or both or all three of these monsters will be all over you; they'll annihilate you!"
"He's bought protection, JR!" Jerry said.
"That's what he's done." JR said.
"Which is what's gonna happen at Sunday night, September the 27th anyhow: You're gonna be annihilated!" Vince said, still smirking smugly. "Now why is it that Vince McMahon can guarantee to the public that the WWF title is gonna change hands? Well, a number of reasons, but principal among them is this new stipulation in this Fatal 4-Way Match, a stipulation that was added just a moment ago. And that is, Undertaker, you're prohibited from defeating your brothers Kane and the Bladewolf in this match."
"What?" Jerry asked with surprise and confusion.
"And Kane, you are absolutely prohibited from defeating your brothers, The Undertaker and the Bladewolf, in this match. And Bladewolf, you are absolutely prohibited from defeating your brothers, The Undertaker and Kane, in this match." Vince said, causing the brothers to exchange looks with each other. "You see, this is not a normal Fatal 4-Way Match, no. Now, let me see. If my addition is correct, I would say in all likelihood, hey, this could be three against one."
"Duh." Jerry rolled his eyes. "Can he do this?"
"You see, Austin, YOU WON'T DO BUSINESS, YOU REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS!" Vince glared at the WWF Champion. "You won't do things the easy way like Undertaker, Bladewolf and Kane, no no no no, you gotta do things the hard way. You gotta do things your way. So have it your way, alright? And on Sunday night, September 27, Austin, when you're flat on your back, looking up at these ringlights and there's been an announcement that you are no longer the WWF champion, I want you to remember one thing. And that is... Vince McMahon didn't screw Stone Cold Steve Austin, oh no, not at all. Stone Cold screwed Stone Cold!"
Having enough, Austin struck Vince with a right hand and started to attack the WWF owner but Austin barely got some hits in before he was attacked by the Bladewolf, the Undertaker and Kane
"Bladewolf, Undertaker and Kane providing the protection for Mr. McMahon!" JR exclaimed as Bladewolf hammers away on Austin while Kane and the Undertaker stomp on him, the trio attacking him like a pack of hyenas. "Trying to take Austin apart here!"
"Look at McMahon!" Jerry pointed, seeing McMahon barking orders "He's orchestrating this whole thing!"
"The master plan comes full circle here!" JR said.
The Brothers of Destruction continue their assault on the WWF Champion before Bladewolf and Kane pull him to his feet, grab him by the throat before lifting him up... AND PLANT HIM WITH A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!
"Austin drilled to the mat!" JR exclaimed. "The Bladewolf and Kane just dropped austin with a double Chokeslam!"
Vince gets in Austin's face and mouths off to him similar to what Austin does after hitting the Stunner.
Kane's theme plays as the Big Red Machine raises his arms before throwing them down, causing his pyro to explode out the turnbuckles. The Brothers of Destruction exist the ring and follow Vince up the ramp before Undertaker stops and grabs a microphone.
"Austin!" The Deadman barked. "Nothing personal, it's just business."
Vince took the microphone. "And speaking of business, we may not have to wait until Sunday night, September 27, because in that very ring tonight you will defend the WWF Title against the world's most dangerous man... KEN SHAMROCK!"
"What?!" Jerry shouted.
"My God, what else are they gonna do to Austin tonight?" JR asked as the Undertaker's theme plays. Vince and the Brothers of Destruction go backstage as Austin looked livid at being assaulted...
Later in the show, Kane took on the Rock in singles action with the Undertaker and the Bladewolf standing at ringside to watch their brother. Rock ducks out and yanks Kane's legs to wrap his knee around the ringpost. Back in, Rock continues to go after the knee. Rock talks some smack in Undertaker's direction, but then takes a powerslam from Kane. Rock gets whipped from corner to corner and slammed on his back. Kane heads up top and hits the Flying Clothesline for two. Kane chokes Rock in the corner while the crowd chants "Rocky". He blocks a corner charge from Kane (YAY!), but Kane cuts him off with a clothesline as the crowd gasps. Kane misses an elbow drop and Rock lands the Hurricane DDT. Kane sits up first, but Rock punches him down into a corner. Kane telegraphs a backdrop and Rock gets a swinging neckbreaker for two. Crowd is PUMPED for Rock. The ref gets knocked down. Rock gives Kane a Russian legsweep and hits the PEOPLE'S ELBOW.
Undertaker gives Bladewolf a subtle nod and the Intercontinental Champion slides into the ring... AND CLOBBERS THE ROCK WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BELT!
"Bladewolf!" JR exclaimed. "The Bladewolf just struck the Rock with the Intercontinental title belt!"
Bladewolf grabs the Rock and tosses him out the ring, the Rock landing at the Undertaker's feet to which the Deadman starts assaulting the People's Champion while the Bladewolf watches in the ring. However, Bladewolf didn't see Mankind sliding into the ring behind him with a sledgehammer... AND HITS HIM FROM BEHIND!
Bladewolf falls onto his front as Undertaker slides back into the ring and chases off Mankind. Bladewolf rolls out the ring and joins his brother. But back in the ring, the Rock crawls over to kane and hooks the legs!
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three! Ring the bell!" The referee called.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Rock's theme played as the People's Champion got out of the ring while the Undertaker and Bladewolf came back and they looked livid
Undertaker grabs a microphone. "Mankind, this has gone way too far. Tonight, it ends right here. Me and you-" Bladewolf reaches out and puts a hand on the microphone, causing the Undertaker to look at him. They have a silent exchange of looks before the Undertaker nods. "On second thought, that'll have to wait. It seems my little brother, Bladewolf, wants to face you instead. I'll allow him the chance to tear you apart piece by piece until there's nothing left to count how many times he'll bash your head in. And a little word of advice, bring your sledgehammer. You're gonna need it."
"Woah!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Oh man... oh man." JR shook his head. "The Bladewolf takes on Mankind tonight! That's gonna be a bloodbath if Bladewolf has his way."
Later tonight, it was time for Mankind vs the Bladewolf. Mankind had already made his entrance and he had his sledgehammer with him, as well as other weapons he had left at ringside to use on the Bladewolf. He was pacing in the ring as he waited the arrival of his opponent.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays and the lights dim to a mix of blood red and dark blue before fire explodes on the stage and out comes the Bladewolf with his brothers at his side, the WWF Intercontinental Championship around his waist.
"This is going to be a war, King." JR said as the brothers make their way to the ring. "We've seen the kind of damage the Bladewolf can do to people. We've see Bladewolf take on Mankind inside Hell in a Cell a few weeks back, and Mankind was really decimated in that match by the Demon Wolf. Bladewolf, not showing signs of Mankind's attack earlier tonight affecting him. He's not gonna let it weaken him."
While Undertaker and Kane stand outside, Bladewolf gets onto the ring apron and stares Mankind down coldly with his dark brown eyes, expression unknown due to the mask. However, his eyes told the story of what he was feeling and that was the desire to cause pain on Mankind. He takes off his coat and tosses it aside, hands his Intercontinental Championship to the Undertaker without taking his eyes off Mankind.
"Bladewolf has not taken his eyes off Mankind, and I can see why." JR said. "Mankind has taken on Bladewolf's brother. the Undertaker, and defeate dhim multiple times. Bladewolf knows Mankind is not to be underestimated."
Mankind stepped forward to swing the sledgehammer but the referee stopped him and took it away from him. Bladewolf entered the ring and Mankind... APPLIES THE MANDIBLE CLAW ON HIM!
"The Mandible Claw!" JR exclaimed. "Mankind with the Mandile Claw on the Bladewolf!"
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"And there's the bell! This match is officially underway!" JR said as Mankind kept the Claw applied on the Bladewolf through the mouth area of the mask while Bladewolf was trying to fight back.
Bladewolf grips Mankind's arm before he rushes forward and sends both him and Mankind through the ropes and to the outside of the ring.
"Look out!" Jerry said as the two men landed in front of the announce table.
"Bladewolf sending himself and Mankind through the ropes, but it broke the Mandible Claw." JR said. "That was smart of him."
Bladewolf gets to his feet but Mankind lands a right hand to the masked face of the Intercontinental Champion, who retaliates quickly with a knee to the stomach of Mankind, then brings a forearm down on the back of the deranged Mankind.
"This match will not be for the weak of heart, I can tell you that right now." JR said.
Mankind took the knee and tackled Bladewolf ito the ring apron, then unloads with lefts and rights before he brings the Bladewolf round to where he had brought the dumpster with him... AND RAMS BLADEWOLF'S HEAD OFF THE DUMPSTER!
"Ouch." Jerry winced.
"Mankind, ramming Bladewolf's head off the dumpster." JR said as Mankind kicks Bladewolf in the stomach before Bladewolf lands a huge uppercut, knocking Mankind back. "And Bladewolf with an uppercut."
"Nice." Jerry approved.
Bladewolf grabs Mankind by the hair and lands a headbutt, knocking the deranged man to a knee. Bladewolf boots him in the side of the head then stops away on him repeatedly before he stops and then delivers a huge kick to the face of Mankind. Bladewolf flips his hair back and adjusts his right elbow pad briefly befor ehe grabs Mankind and looks at the ring post then... SENDS MANKIND SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
"Good grief!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Right into that ring post! Mankind's shoulder meeting steel!" JR said.
Bladewolf watches Mankind clutch his shoulder, but the man was getting back to his feet quickly so Bladewolf lands a quick left, then a heavy right before he wraps his arms around Mankind and drives him into the ring apron hard. Bladewolf pulls Mankind away, lifts him up and... DRIVES HIM BACK-FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST! Mankind falls down to his knees and Bladewolf lands a right hand, then another, then another, then another. He unleashes a fury of right punches on Mankind before finishing with a huge right hand, knocking Mankind onto his front.
"Like I said, this will not be for the weak of heart." JR said as Mankind crawls away towards the steel steps while the Bladewolf follows him. "Someone is gonna get hurt badly."
Mankind leans on the steel steps but Bladewolf grabs Mankind and rams his head off the steel steps. Bladewolf then grabs Mankind's injured left hand... AND SLAMS IT OFF THE STEEL STEPS! Mankind grunts in pain as he clutches his left hand. Bladewolf shoves Mankind aside and picks up the steel steps, uses his foot to put mankind's left hand where the bottom half of the steps are, lifts the top half and... BRINGS OIT DOWN ON HIS HAND!
"Right on the left hand!" JR exclaimed.
"This is just an example of what's going to happen to Steve Austin at Breakdown." Jerry said.
Mankind crawls away from the Bladewolf, gets to his feet before he rushes and connects with a forearm to the forehead of the Bladewolf but Bladewolf shook it off, though he did stumble a step. Mankind lands a right hand then grabs Bladewolf but the Demon Wolf knees him in the stomach, and repeatedly drives his right fist into Mankind's stomach before finishing with a huge headbutt.
"Mankind, Mick Foley, whatever you want to call him, he's a courageous son of a gun." JR said. "Put his body on the line multiple times, and survived Hell in a Cell against the Undertaker at King of the Ring, even though he lost. Mick's lucky to still be alive and able to wrestle!"
Bladewolf rams Mankind's head off the barricade then looks over at the propped up table Mankind had brought to the ring with him during his entrance.
"Oh no." Jerry said with dread.
"Bladewolf staring at that table." JR said as Bladewolf grabs Mankind and... THROWS HIM INTO THE TABLE!
"Ooh man!" Jerry exclaimed.
"My gosh! that table broke from the impact of the skull of Mankind!" JR said.
Bladewolf grabs the table and tosses it aside as he stalks Mankind who stumbles to his feet. Mankind turns only to be given an uppercut by the Bladewolf, sending him onto the bottom part of the tamp. Mankind starts crawling up the ramp with the Bladewolf just following. Bladewolf lands a kick to the ribcage of Mankind, pulls him to his feet and lands another right hand before he eyes the dumpster then Irish whips Mankind... STRAIGHT INTO THE DUMPSTER!
"Ouch!" Jerry winced. "That had to hurt!"
"It had to." JR agreed. Mankind stumbles forward but gets floored with a big boot to the face. "Oh! What a big boot!"
"Bladewolf is going to destroy him!" Jerry said.
Bladewolf bends down, grabs Mankind's mask and rips it off him, tossing it aside. Bladewolf flips his hair back before he grips Mankind's hair and drives his fight into the forehead of Mankind, then brings his knees right into the face of Mankind.
"Oh!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Knee to the face!" JR said as Mankind falls onto his side. "Mankind, we've seen him take a lot of punishment and keep coming back for more."
Bladewolf grabs Mankind and starts dragging him up the ramp and onto the stage. Bladewolf pulls Mankind to his feet and grabs him by the throat, bringing him to the edge of the stage and staring down at some tables and cables below.
"Oh no." JR said with dread, having a feeling where this is going.
"he's not gonna..." Jerry trailed off.
"Bladewolf is looking to Chokeslam Mankind off the stage!" JR said.
Bladewolf goes to ift Mankind but the deranged personality of Mick Foley kicks him repeatedly in the stomach, then smacks Blkadewolf's hand off his throat before he plunges a finger into one of Bladewolf's mask's eyeholes, causing Bladewolf to back away,
"Mankind with a thumb to the eye!" JR said. "Perhaps he bought himself some time."
Mankind grabs Bladewolf and lands a headbutt, then a right hand before he grabs Bladewolf and charges forward... AND TOSSES BLADEWOLF OFF THE STAGE AND INTO THE TABLES AND CABLES!
"OH GOD!" Jerry shouted.
"Good God almighty!" JR exclaimed. "Mankind just... just threw the Bladewolf into those cables and tables!
"What's he doing now?" Jerry asked as Mankind backed up before he started to run. "Oh no, look out!"
Mankind leaps off the stage... AND LANDS AN ELBOW ONTO BLADEWOLF!
"Mankind! Driving his elbow into the chest of Bladewolf but also bringing himself into the wreckage!" JR said.
'Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!' The fans chanted with excitement.
The referee checks on both men bit Mankind starts getting to his feet, albeit slowly and painfully as he stumbles. Bladewolf slowly tries to sit up but can't as he falls back down. Mankind makes it to his feet first and walks over, dragging Bladewolf out the mess and delivers a stomp to his chest before he pulls him to his feet and drives Bladewolf into the side of the stage back first.
Mankind, doing whatever he can to keep the advantage in this match." JR said.
Bladewolf falls to a knee and Mankind grabs him... AND CONNECTS WITH A DDT ON THE FLOOR!
"What a DDT!" Jerry saiid. "Right on the floor!"
"Bladewolf's head meeting that concrete." JR said.
Mankind gets to his feet and drags Bladewolf back onto the ramp but Bladewolf manages to shake off the DDT on the floor and kicks Mankind in the face, sending him down. Bladewolf gets to his feet and flips his hair back as Mankind gets to his feet and turns... INTO A GOOZLE!
"Mankind's caught!" JR exclaimed.
Bladewolf lifts Mankind up... AND CHOKESLAMS HIM ON THE RAMP!
"Oh my God!" Jerry shouted.
"Bladewolf just driving mankind into the ramp!" JR added.
Bladewolf starts walking up the ramp and goes backstage, leaving everyone to wonder where he was going but he soon came back out with an office chair and placed it on the stage before he walked down and grabs Mankind, dragging him up to the stage where he puts Mankind on the chair, stands behind it and stares down at the dumpster... BEFORE HE PUSHES THE CHAIR DOWN THE RAMP AND IT ROLLS STRAIGHT INTO THE DUMPSTER WITH MANKIND HITTING IT FIRST!
"Oh!" Jerry exclaimed.
"What impact!" JR shook his head. "What sickening impact!"
Bladewolf walks down to the downed Mankind and grabs him before Irish whipping him into the ring apron hard to make Mankind cry out in pain, then hits an uppercut before hitting another headbutt. Bladewolf sends Mankind back into the ring and slides in after him, knocking him down with a boot to the face when Mankind got to his feet. Bladewolf exists the ring and grabs a steel chair from the timekeeper's area and tosses it into the ring before sliding into the ring. However, mankind had recovered and grabbed the chair... AND HE SMACKS IT OFF BLADEWOLF'S HEAD!
"What a chair shot!" Jerry said.
"But Bladewolf did not go down!" JR pointed out as Bladewolf stumbled a bit. Mankind rears back.. AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT! This one knocks Bladewolf down onto his back. "And Bladewolf goes down!"
Mankind places the chair on top of Bladewolf's chest and starts going to the rope turnbuckle. Once he was there, he jumps off... AND HITS AN ELBOW DRO-! BLADEWOLF MOVED OUT THE WAY! MANKIND CONNECTED WITH THE CHAIR INSTEAD!
"Oh! That had to hurt!" Jerry said.
Mankind clutches his elbow as he stumbles to his feet and turns around... INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts him up... AND HITS A CHOKESLAM!
"Chokeslam!" JR exclaimed.
Bladewolf grabs the chair and puts it down in front of him befor ehe grabs Mankind, lifts him onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry... AND HITS THE WOLF'S HOWL ON THE CHAIR!
"Wolf's Howl! Wolf's Howl on the chair!" JR said.
Bladewolf rolls Mankind onto his back and hooks the legs.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three! Ring the bell!" The referee called.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Devil's Wolf plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet. The Undertaker passes him a sledgehammer and Bladewolf lines it with Mankind's head but before he can use it... THE ROCK ATTACKS HIM FROM BEHIND! The Rock drags Mankind out the ring and throws him over the barricade before leaving while the Brothers of Destruction looked pissed...
The Main Event was underway. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Ken Shamrock for the WWF Championship. Still got his t-shirt on, Austin and Shamrock trade shots to start. Shamrock fights back and applies a headlock on the mat. Up to their feet, the crowd is chanting for Austin. Shamrock gets flipped backward over Austin's shoulders and then he blocks a clothesline to drop Austin to the mat in the armbar. He tries for the Anklelock, but Austin escapes to the floor. Man, Austin working HEEL tonight. McMahon has DRIVEN him to this point. Off comes the t-shirt. Austin trips up Shamrock and wraps the knee around the post. There's a vertical suplex, but Shamrock kicks out at one. Austin hits another, but again Shamrock kicks out at one. Try three. Austin takes Shamrock to the apron for an elbow to the throat. Back in, Austin finally gets two.
He applies a headlock onto Shamrock down on the mat. Shamrock fights out and gets a fisherman's suplex, but Austin blocks a hurracanrana with a powerbomb. Flying elbow from Austin gets two. Now Austin applies a chinlock. Shamrock escapes and rolls away from a Boston crab, but then they trade sleeperholds. Austin backs Shamrock into the corner and buries shoulders into the gut.
Looks like Austin wants a superplex, but Shamrock headbutts him down. Austin catches Shamrock in the bread basket on the way down, but Shamrock still manages a crossbody block for two. Austin rakes his boot laces across Shamrock's face. Hey, that's not nice! Austin grabs the chinlock again. Shamrock gets out of the chinlock again, but gets thrown to the floor.
On the outside, Shamrock reverses a whip into the steps. More ringside violence ensues. Austin does his signature backdrop piledriver counter on the floor. In the ring, Shamrock stays in control and locks in a Boston crab. Austin slowly reaches the ropes and his trick knee acts up. How many times have we seen that tonight? Austin stomps a mudhole in Shamrock. There's a double-KO.
As if things couldn't get worse, the Brothers of Destruction make their way to the ring and attacks Austin and Shamrock, causing the match to end ina no contest. Bladewolf and Kane ssault Austin while Undertaker takes on Shamrock. Kane and Bladewolf kicks Austin out the ring, but Bladewolf follows him and continues to attacks Austin.
The Rock and Mankind soon run down and attacks Kane and the Undertaker. Austin manages to grab a steel chair... AND SMACKS IT OFF BLADEWOLF'S HEAD! Bladewolf goes down as Austin slides into the ring... AND HITS KANE AND THE UNDERTAKER! Austin then goes after Vince McMahon, who had been at the stage, causing the owner to run away with Austin chasing after him. Still armed with the chair, Austin stalks McMahon back to the locker room to end the show. ...
And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it.
