RAW is WAR: 4/9/2000
RAW is WAR was live at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. Just days after Triple H was arrested and Stephanie was DDTed on SmackDown, the first couple of the World Wrestling Federation hit the ring as RAW kicked off from Lexington, Kentucky. The Game spoke first, saying that he was proud of all the heinous things he had done in his Federation career. But he said the one thing he's never done is hide who he is what what he does. When it was time for payback, Triple H stood tall. That's why he said he couldn't accept what happened to him Thursday night.
He spoke of the humiliation of being questioned in the police station while Chyna was beating up his wife. The Game said that it was unacceptable, and said he wasn't leaving the ring until he got answers - specifically, who filed the complaint with the cops. Triple H said it was time for payback.
Commissioner Mick Foley then came out, saying that he also wanted to get to the heart of the matter. He narrowed the field down to 357 people (who he said had reason to screw with Triple H). Then he said that maybe the culprit wasn't a culprit at all - maybe it was a culpritess! He accused Stephanie of trying to get rid of her jealous husband!
Stephanie said that Mick had some nerve, saying that she went through incredible trauma when her husband was in jail.
Foley then said that putting the Game in jail would require a calculated plan, which he said would eliminate Stephanie!
Foley then said that maybe the culprit was the Game himself, saying that maybe he was trying to pull his wife's heartstrings, and to try to get sympathy from the fans. The Game denied it, saying that Foley was trying to turn things around on him.
Triple H then accused Foley of having called the cops, since he was so quick to rush to the scene on Thursday. He called Foley a miserable, twisted, manipulative guy who was trying to ruin his marriage since the Game had ruined Foley's career.
Foley denied it - and then said that if it wasn't him, it wasn't Triple H and it wasn't Stephanie, then there was only one likely candidate. He then called out Kurt Angle!
Angle said that it was ridiculous. He said that he wouldn't call the cops, since he was a man of integrity. He said to look to the one person who wanted Triple H and Stephanie broken up the most - Chyna. He said that they obviously still have the hots for each other. He said that since Chyna was so willing to abuse Stephanie, Triple H obviously was also.
Foley then invited Chyna out to explain her actions. Chyna said that while she thoroughly enjoyed DDTing Stephanie on SmackDown, she had nothing to do with calling the cops. She said that she and the Game were just friends, and that she was with Eddie.
Mick then said that maybe Eddie wanted Triple H out of the picture, and invited Latino Heat to come out. Eddie said that he didn't want the Game out of the picture - in fact, he wanted Triple H in the picture, so he could kick his ass in front of everybody!
Foley said that the suspects were out, but no one was willing to admit their guilt. He said he wanted to see what the 15,000 fans in Lexington thought. The crowd seemed pretty clear in their verdict - they thought it was Kurt Angle! Foley demanded that Angle come with him to see the authorities.
Out came Test. Test said he had a confession to make - one he's been waiting to make since Nov. 29, 1999, the day Test was set to marry Stephanie before the Game ruined the festivities. Test said that Triple H's Thursday was just as bad as Test's Nov. 29 - and then test admitted that he had called the cops!
Mick Foley said that since Test called the cops, he was making a match for the night pitting Test against Triple H! Test said fine - because paybacks were just like Stephanie, a bitch! Test, Triple H and Angle then brawled in the entrance way!
Next up was the Bladewolf vs Kane in a WWF Title #1 Contender's match.
Before the match, the Rock's theme hits ton a pop from the crowd as the WWF Champion walks out and starts making his way down the ramp.
"What the hell is-Here comes the People's Champion!" JR said.
"This is not the Tag match, what is he doing out here?" Jerry asked.
"The Rock, who is set tot team with the Undertaker later on tight, will face Edge and Christian for the WWF Tag Team Championship." JR said.
"Yeah, but not not and..." Jerry trailed off as the Rock walked around the ring and came towards the commentary table. "He's coming this way, JR."
"Rock is heading this way, indeed." JR nodded.
The Rock picks up a headset and puts it on, then takes a seat at the commentary table. "Well the Rock will say this, he has to agree with Triple H on one thing. Mick Foley has been hit in the head one too many times with chairs because the Rock is the WWF Champion, not Triple H."
"Last time we checked, you were." Jerry said as the Rock's theme dies down. "What are you doing out here, Rock?"
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
'Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah! Get up, come on get down with the sickness!'
Down with the Sickness by Disturbed hits and out comes the Bladewolf with Trish Stratus at his side, earning a mixed reaction from the fans. The couple start making their way down to the ring.
"Well, the rock's obviously out here to see the Bladewolf and Kane hopefully beat each other's brains in." The Rock said, watching the Demon Wolf make his way to the ring.
"Both men want a shot at the WWF Title." JR nodded. "And ladies and gentlemen, last Thursday night on SmackDown, it was Kane getting the Bladewolf disqualified in a #1 Contender's match, King, between the Bladewolf and the Undertaker, which occurred after the Undertaker cost the Bladewolf the WWF Title last week on RAW when he faced you, Rock."
"Undertaker had no business in interrupting, the Rock was just about to put his little brother's monkey ass down and retail the WWF Championship." The Rock said with a little anger.
Bladewolf gets in the ring and takes off his coat, handing it to Trish before pacing around inside the ring as his theme dfies down.
The fire explodes on the stage as Kane's theme plays and out comes the Big Red Machine who makes his way down towards the ring with the Bladewolf watching him.
The following contest will determine the #1 Contendership for World Wrestling Federation Championship. And the only way to become the #1 Contender is by pinfall or submission!" Lillian Garcia announced. "Making his way to the ring, weighing 326 lbs... KANE!"
Kane slides into the ring and... THE BROTHERS GO AT IT!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"And here we go!" JR said as Bladewolf and Kane exchange fists with each other. "Bladewolf vs Kane for the #1 Contender's spot. At first, we all thought the Bladewolf and Kane's bond was strong, that they'd co-exist, but when the WWF Championship is thrown into the mix... all of that goes out the window."
"Everybody wants to become the WWF Champion, that's the primary goal of every wrestler in this business." The Rock said, watching as Bladewolf tackles Kane into the corner where he drives his shoulder repeatedly into Kane's stomach. "Brothers or not, these two want what the Rock's got and they'll get their asses whipped trying to take it from the Rock."
Bladewolf backs up then uppercuts Kane, who retaliates with an uppercut of his own. Bladewolf flips his hair back and goes for na right but Kane ducks it to reverse his and Bladewolf's positions. Now Bladewolf was in the corner, being hammered away on by Kane's left and rights, forcing him to cover up to protect himself.
"Kane, hammering away on his younger brother." JR said. "And Bladewolf needing to cover up."
"Well, that's-" Jerry stops as Bladewolf tackles Kane down to the mat. "Oh look out!"
"Bladewolf, tackling Kane down." JR said as Bladewolf hammers away on Kane repeatedly, now forcing the Big Red Machine to cover up. "This is going to be a war between these two."
Bladewolf gets to his feet and flips his hair back before he locks eyes with the Rock and stares him down.
"What are you looking at, Jabroni?" The Rock taunts. Bladewolf merely does the title gesture around his waist. "Try it, and the Rock will kick your ass like he did last week on RAW. Wash off the face paint, this ain't a kiddy playground or fun fair."
Kane takes advantage of Bladewolf's distraction to blindside his brother, taking him down. Bladewolf quickly gets back to his feet and gets back into another slugfest with his brother.
"Kane, taking advantage of Bladewolf's distraction. And now, the brothers are in another slugfest." JR said.
Kane overpowers his brother and forces him back into the corner where he unloads on him with rights, forcing Bladewolf onto the middle turnbuckle. Kane then pulls Bladewolf away, Irish whips him off the ropes. Bladewolf bounces off the ropes, ducks a elbow from Kane and halts himself on the ropes when Kane attempots a bug boot. Bladewolf then rushes at Kane only to be taken down with a clothesline.
"What a clothesline by Kane." JR said.
Kane looks over at the Rock and points at him. "Don't talk your trash to the Rock/" The People's Champion warned.
Kane turns as Bladewolf gets to his feet and lands aforearm across his brother's back. Bladewolf stumbles forward, then turns and retaliates with some right hands that force Kane back a few steps before the Big Red Monster goes for a clothesline which Bladewolf ducks, rebounds off the ropes and take Kane down with a big boot.
"Bladewolf, flooring his brother with that big boot." JR said. Bladewolf rebounds off the ropes and hits a running elbow drop to Kane's chest. "Followed by the running elbow drop.
Bladewolf hooks Kane's leg.
"One!"
"Two-!"
Kane kicks out at two.
"Kickout by Kane." JR said.
"Who do you want to win, Rock? Who would you like to face?" Jerry asked the WWF Champion.
"Doesn't matter to the Rock if it's Kane, doesn't matter to the Rock if it's the Bladewolf, doesn't matter if the Undertaker's. The Rock will do what he's been doing since he won the WWF Title and that's kick the ass out of whatever piece of monkey crap he's facing in that ring and retain." The Rock said.
Bladewolf eyes Kane as he gets to his feet before he walks up behind him, wraps his arms around his waist. kane tries fighting back with an elbow to his brother's head, but Bladewolf lands a clubbing forearm to the back of Kane's head, dazing the Big Red Machine enough for Bladewolf to lift his brother and hit a German Suplex.
"German Suplex!" JR said.
Bladewolf gets to his feet, flipping his hair back before he stomps on his brother repeatedly, then pulls him up to deliver a right hand to the skull of Kane. Bladewolf then looks over at the Rock again.
"What? You wanna go right now?" The Rock challenged. Bladewolf mouthed off to him. "Ah, shut your mouth, jabroni."
Bladewolf turns and boots Kane down before he rolls out of the ring and faces the Rock. "Oh look out." Jerry said.
"You want some? Bring it. Just bring it." The Rock challenged as he stood and faced the Bladewolf. "Bring it, you face-painted bitch."
"What?" Jerry asked as the Rock takes off his headset.
Before a fight could break out, Kane blindsides Bladewolf, then sends him into the steel steps. "Kane from behind, sending his brother into the steel steps." JR said.
"Come back, Rock." Jerry said to the WWF Champion.
The Rock puts the headset back on and takes a seat. "Well, the Rock will say this-" He';s cut off when Kane grabs him by the throat.
"Kane! Kane's got the Rock by the throat!" JR said as Kane pulls the Rock from the table then nails him with a right hand. "Oh, what a right hand!"
Bladewolf comes up from behind. steel chair in hand... AND SMACKS IT OFF KANE'S BACK!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"Bladewolf from behind with the steel chair!" JR said. "The referee's going to call for the bell!"
Kane turns and nails Bladewolf with a big boot before he turns around only to be hooked up... AND NAILED WITH THE ROCK BOTTOM BY THE ROCK!
The Rock's theme plays as he grabs his title and raises it, standing over Kane and the Bladewolf before he takes his leave.
"The Rock doesn't give a damn who he faces for the WWF Title." JR said. "But the #1 Contender's spot is gonna have to be decided in another place, at another time..."
Next up, the Dudley Boyz faced the Acolytes in a Tag Team Table Match. The Acolytes were followed to the ring by Kaientai, wearing APA T-shirts. Buh Buh told D-Von to get the table within seconds. Kaientai soon hit Faarooq with their Japanese flags by accident, and an unaware Bradshaw was soon put through a table, giving the Dudleys the win. Taka and Funaki begged for forgiveness, but the APA weren't in a forgiving mood. Bradshaw soon brought another table into the ring, and he then powerbombed Taka through the table!
Backstage, Eddie Guerrero asked Mick Foley to be allowed inside the ring for Chyna's match with Kurt Angle, so that he could protect his Mamacita. Foley made it a Triple Threat Match!
That match was up next, as Chyna's Intercontinental Championship was on the line against both Latino Heat and the Olympic Hero. Chyna and Eddie double-teamed Angle from the get-go. Angle soon knocked Chyna out cold with the Intercontinental title, and Eddie then knocked Kurt out of the ring.
The Ninth Wonder of the World was out cold, and as Eddie tended to his Mamacita, the referee counted the pinfall - Eddie Guerrero is the new Intercontinental Champion!
Moments later backstage, Eddie told Chyna that he was just trying to protect her. Guerrero tried to give Chyna the belt back, saying she meant the world to him. Chyna told Eddie that he was a deserving champion. The two then embraced, and Eddie displayed a vicious smile, as if he had been plotting to take the title the whole time.
Prior to his match against Test, Triple H told his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, to remain backstage so she would be out of harm's way. The Game threw Test and Albert out of the ring as the match began. As Stephanie watched the match on a monitor backstage, Kurt Angle snuck up behind her and watched on - she didn't even know Kurt was there. Soon after, Triple H hit the Pedigree on Test and pinned him for the win. After the bell, the Game gave Albert a Pedigree for good measure. Stephanie then ran out to congratulate her husband.
Backstage, Commissioner Foley approached a naked Mideon. Foley said that he's had a lot of complaints about Mideon's recent streaking, and Mideon said he wouldn't do it again.
The Right to Censor - Steven Richards, the Goodfather and Bull Buchanan - headed to the ring next, and they had a big announcement to make.
Steven then introduced the newest member of the Right to Censor - Val Venis. Oddly, Val came out in his usual tights, and said he was most definitely NOT the newest member of the group. He said that he would never join a group of hypocrites and censorers. He told the Right to Censor to stick it! Steven then said that Val had dumped his porn star image, his perverted tights - Steven said that Val was one of them. Val said that it wasn't the Right to Censor's job to censor, it was the parents' job. Val warned that if the Right to Censor were to come near him ever again, he would permanently censor them. Steven then said that if Val wasn't with them, then he was definitely against them.
Backstage, Crash practiced a couple of pick-up lines when the Big Boss Man came over and started pushing him around. Dean Malenko soon came to see what was up, and the Boss Man attacked him too.
In the locker room, Edge & Christian tried to thing of an illness to get themselves out of their match against The Rock and the Undertaker. They finally settled on genital warts! Commissioner Foley then entered their locker room and said that if they were indeed sick, then he would strip them of their titles and suspend them indefinitely. Needless to say, Edge & Christian decided to go on with their title match.
The Boss Man then headed to the ring for a Hardcore Title Match against Steve Blackman.
The two men brawled to the back, where Crash and Malenko threw hot coffee in the Boss Man's face! Blackman then pinned the Boss Man to retain his title, and then attacked Crash and Malenko with a garbage can lid!
Tazz went up to Commissioner Foley and demanded two matches, against Chris Jericho and Jerry Lawler. He said it could be any kind of match. Foley said he would make a tag team match pitting Jericho and Lawler against Tazz and a monster who was a multiple-time title winner. Tazz said that it better be a good partner, or else Foley would be just another victim.
Bull Buchanan and the Goodfather hit the ring for a tag match against Val Venis and a mystery partner, who turned out to be the Road Dogg! The D-O-Double-G took out the Goodfather and pinned him for the win! After the match, the Right to Censor knocked out the Road Dogg, and then helped Val back to the dressing room, where they stuffed him in a white van and drove him away.
Tazz was pumped for the match, until he saw who his partner was - Mideon! Not even a second after seeing Mideon was his partner, The King pinned Tazz for the win! During the break, as Lawler celebrated, Tazz attacked him from behind and choked him out with a leather strap, and then punched him in the throat.
Jim Ross then told the audience that Stone Cold Steve Austin would be making a statement this Thursday on SmackDown.
Next up, the Rock and the Undertaker vs Edge and Christian for the WWF Tag Team Championship.
The main event on RAW pitted Edge & Christian against The Rock and the Undertaker in a Tag Team Championship Match. Prior to the match, Kane came to ringside to provide commentary! The Hardy Boyz and Lita watched on as Edge & Christian faced their most dominant challengers yet. The tag champions tried to isolate the Undertaker and to take out the Bad Ass' vertical base. But the Undertaker was able to get the tag, and the World Wrestling Federation Champion came in to kick some ass!
As the Rock takes Christian down with a DDT, the Bladewolf comes running down to the ring.
"There's the Bladewolf!" JR shouts but the Bladewolf is intercepted by the Undertaker, and they start fighting. "Bladewolf and the Undertaker fighting on the outside!"
The Rock hit the Rock Bottom on Christian, but Edge broke up the pinfall. Edge then grabbed a chair and nailed The Rock, as Christian distracted the ref. But The Rock kicked out of the pinfall! The Brahma Bull soon hit a spinebuster, but Kane pulled the ref out of the ring. Edge & Christian then hit The Rock with a double chairshot, which was enough for Christian to pin The Rock for the win...
And that's it for this chapter.
