RAW is WAR: 11/9/2000
Who hit Stone Cold Steve Austin at last years Survivor Series? Where have Val Venis and Steven Richards been? Perhaps those questions would be answered on RAW is WAR, live from the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona!
Commissioner Mick Foley made his way out to greet the sell-out crowd. First, he said he should apologize for coming out as plain old Mick Foley, he should have come out as Commissioner Cactus Jack, in honor of the desert! Then, Foley said that the questioning as to who hit Austin would begin, with Foley doing the interrogations, saying it would be easier to 'fess up to a calm Foley rather than an angry Rattlesnake! Then, Foley told whoever the culprit was to come on out!
Then, The Rock's music hit! The crowd and Foley were both shocked! After Foley expressed his shock to the Great One, Rock said that he admitted it. He admitted that this investigation was the worst he'd ever seen! The Rock said he didn't do it, "Oh hell no!" Rock said the only way to deal with the situation was to let Austin take care of it in his own way! Then Foley questioned The Rock as to why he came out, if it had nothing to do with Austin.
The Brahma Bull said he wanted payback. He wanted revenge on Kane - and he challenged him to the title match at Unforgiven.
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, carrying the black baseball bat he used on SmackDown to attack his brother, the Undertaker. Bladewolf leans the bat against his shoulder, a microphone in his other hand as his theme dies down.
"Woah, woah, woah, Rock." Bladewolf said as he approached the ring. "Foley, I know you aren't stupid to let this go on. The Rock vs Kane at Unforgiven for the WWF Title? I don't think so."
"Don't underestimate Mick Foley." Jerry said.
'Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!' The crowd chanted at the Bladewolf, who looks at them before focusing on the Rock and Foley.
"If anyone deserves a title shot... it should be someone who has beaten the Rock before and knows him better than even Stone Cold Steve Austin." Bladewolf continued. . "Me. Rock, you, Foley, and everybody here knows that I came close to beating you a couple of weeks ago for that title.. if it wasn't for my brother, the Undertaker. I would be standing there, a three-time WWF Champion if it wasn't for him continuing to interfere in my life, trying to keep me in his shadow forever! Foley, at Unforgiven, it had better be the Bladewolf vs the Rock for the title."
"Bladewolf, I understand you have had your opportunities ruined due to others interfering, I understand what you're saying." Foley said. Bladewolf nods. "Rock, he brings up a good point. I think I'm gonna have to go back to my Commissioner's table-"
Fire explodes on the stage and Kane's music plays as the Big Red Machine plays.
"I think business is about to pick up, because here comes the man the Rock wants!" JR said as Kane makes his way down to the ring. "Kane is the man who Chokeslammed the Rock through the announce table last Thursday night on SmackDown. And the Rock has not forgotten."
As Kane came to the end of the ramp, he shares some words with the Rock and the Bladewolf when the Undertaker's theme plays, getting everyone's attention as the American Badass comes out, a microphone in hand.
"Now since everybody's talking about #1 Contenders, let's not forget about the old Deadman." Undertaker said, then drops the mic as he starts making his way down to the ring.
Kane rushes to meet his brother in a brawl, and Bladewolf slides into the ring to attack the Rock.
"Here we go!" Jerry said.
"Kane and Undertaker! Bladewolf and the Rock! All four of these men are trying to tear each other apart!" JR said.
The brawl gets out of control as the four men fight each other, with Foley even accidentally being knocked out by Kane!
Then, backstage, Foley said he was all right, and that he would determine a No. 1 contender by the end of the night! He also said The Rock and Undertaker would take on Bladewolf and Kane in a tag match later!
In a match to determine the No. 1 contenders for the Tag Team Title, the Dudley Boyz took on the Hardy Boyz, with Edge and Christian joining King and J.R. on commentary. The action in the ring was high-paced and brutal, and both teams had many near-falls. After a bit, Edge determined it was time for an E.C.R.I. - an Edge and Christian Run-In! Edge nailed Buh Buh with his title, but Matt Hardy fell on top of the Dudley. The referee turned around in time to count a pinfall, declaring the Hardys the No. 1 contenders! Then, Edge and Christian cleared the ring of the Hardys, but still had to deal with the Dudleys. After knocking out Christian, the brothers nailed Edge with a 3D through a table!
Next up, Lita defended her Women's Title against Ivory. The fiery redhead took quite a beating from Ivory, and just as Ivory was going to get a pin, she was distracted by Naked Man! As Ivory stood in astonishment, Lita floored her and then nailed her with a moonsault to retain her title!
In Mick Foley's traveling office, Kurt Angle asked how the Commish was feeling.
Mick said that he appreciated Kurt's insincerity, but wanted to know what he really wanted. Angle stated that he would beat T&A, and that he had nothing to do with Stone Cold's unfortunate experience last year! Then Kurt asked why Triple H had the night off. Mick said he'd give Hunter a suitable opponent only if Angle did one thing for him - stop talking! Then Foley, and his office, rolled away!
In Chyna's locker room, Eddie Guerrero asked the Ninth Wonder of the World to just listen to him. He said he was wrong for losing his temper last week. He apologized, and Chyna said he needed to control his hot temper. Eddie almost broke down crying begging for his Mommy's forgiveness until finally, Chyna forgave him. Then Eddie said that to celebrate he wanted to take on Too Cool. When Chyna said she didn't want to fight her friends, Eddie said it would be OK because they were good sportsmen.
Guerrero attacked Scotty and Grandmaster before the bell rang, and continued his brutal assault on Sexay as the match got underway. Eddie refused to tag in Chyna at one point, allowing Scotty 2 Hotty to nail him with the Worm! As he did that, Chyna nailed the Grandmaster, and then she knocked out Scotty! Finally Sexay recovered enough to pin Guerrero! As Chyna apologized to her friends Too Cool, Eddie had an angry look on his face. But he softened up enough to dance with the duo. As Scotty, Sexay and Chyna danced, Eddie got his Intercontinental Title and laid out both members of Too Cool! Rikishi came out to save his run-in buddies, and got ready to give Eddie a Stink Face! Just before he could apply the devastating maneuver, Chyna knocked the Phat Man out with Eddie's title! As she and Eddie walked back to the locker room, Chyna turned around, apologizing to her friends for what she did.
As Triple H readied for his match, up next, he told Stephanie that he didn't trust Mick Foley. Since Foley wouldn't tell Hunter who his opponent was, he told Stephanie to stay in the back, for her own protection.
Eddie and Chyna continued their argument into the locker room, where Chyna told him she was going to be on the cover, and in pictures, in next month's Playboy Magazine! Eddie immediately got jealous and started yelling and Chyna, saying he didn't care what it took, no one would ever see her nude!
The Game came out to the ring with no idea as to who his opponent was, although Foley did say it would be a suitable opponent. The opponent: Chris Jericho! The two men took it to each other with all they had in a brutal and bruising affair. Midway through the match, Stephanie walked out to cheer on her husband. Her appearance distracted the Game, and allowed Y2J to apply the Walls of Jericho! Triple H escaped, but only in time to watch his wife be pulled back to the locker room by Kurt Angle!
Soon, Hunter left the ring to get Steph away from Angle. Jericho stood alone in the ring, but not for long, as X-Pac rang out and delivered an X-Factor to Y2J, giving Jericho the DQ win! Hunter went into the ring to confront X-Pac, but things only got uglier, with X-Pac slapping the Game and Triple H knocking down his former friend!
Bull Buchanan and the Good Father, two-thirds of the Right to Censor, came out to the ring to take on the Acolytes. As usual, the Acolytes brought their barroom brawling-style of fighting into the ring. Soon, though, Val Venis made his reappearance and stood watching the match holding a steel chair! Slowly, Val made his way ringside as the action continued. Val distracted the referee long enough for Right to Censor to pick up the win! Then Val knocked out the APA with his chair as Steven Richards ran out to watch! After leaving the APA lying, Steven and Val shook hands!
European Champion Al Snow entered the ring wearing Leiderhosen, carrying bratwurst and carrying a photo of Europe's favorite star, David Hasselhoff! Al faced off against The King's least favorite Superstar, Tazz! Tazz started dominating the match, until Tazz angered The King by throwing Al Snow on top of him! The King retaliated and Al got the win by pinning the Red Hook native!
After the match, Tazz told King he wasn't fighting him any more.
Tazz said he was no match for Jerry's political power in the World Wrestling Federation, then Tazz gave up and walked out!
In a handicap match, gold medallist Kurt Angle challenged T&A. Kurt dedicated the match to Stephanie, and told T&A that they were disgusting and worthless! Test and Albert took it to the Olympic Champion, and they knocked Angle out of the ring, where Stephanie came down to check on him. But soon, Steph was trapped between Test and Albert, until Triple H ran out to help her! After running off T&A with some help from Angle, Triple H turned around to see Angle helping Steph to her feet!
Angle and Triple H immediately started brawling, and Stephanie tried to separate the two men! During the fight between the two men, Triple H accidentally knocked down Stephanie with a fierce elbow to her head! Then, Angle and Hunter both took out referees in order to get back at each other! Then, Angle pushed Stephanie of the ring apron, knocking her out! Triple H went over and picked up his wife and started to carry her out to the back. As he walked up the rampway, Angle nailed Hunter from behind, knocking Triple H and Stephanie out!
In his locker room, Triple H was checking on Stephanie when Mick Foley came in. Foley told Hunter that the fighting needed to stop, so he was booking a match. At Unforgiven, Triple H and Angle would go one-on-one!
And just to make sure that this would end it all, Foley appointed himself referee for the battle!
For the Hardcore Title, Steve Blackman faced off against X-Pac. The match was brutal and intense, but in the end the Lethal Weapon picked up the win after Chris Jericho interfered, hitting X-Pac with a kendo stick!
In the hall, as Jericho signed an autograph for a fan, X-Pac attacked him brutally, leaving Y2J lying in a bloody mess!
Next up was the Rock and Undertaker vs the Bladewolf and Kane.
In the locker room, Kane was pacing back and fourth when he stopped as the Bladewolf walked into view and stared at his brother before he exhaled. "Look, Kane, despite the transgressions between us these past few weeks, we're partners tonight. Regardless of who becomes #1 Contender, tonight is about you and me functioning like we used to. But I'll warn you right here and now, you screw with me again, you turn on me tonight... I'll make it the last thing you ever do."
Kane nods. "I get it, but you need to be warned as well. I want to be WWF Champion as badly as you do, and I won't let anything... or anyone stand in the way of that, including you. If you do... I'n going to hurt you."
Bladewolf stared Kane down before he nods. "Noted. Now, shall we get to work and focus on tearing the Rock and Undertaker apart?"
Kane nods and the two leave the locker room.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Fire explodes on the stage after the wolf howls, and Out of the Fire plays to boos. The Bladewolf and Kane walk out side-by-side.
"Well, this is a site we haven't seen for several weeks now." JR said. "The Bladewolf and Kane, side-by-side as they make their way to the ring. The two understand they have common enemies tonight, but it won't make them forget their desire to become WWF Champion. And Kane said he'll let nothing and nobody stand in his way of becoming the Champion."
"Unforgiven's sure is packing up to be a great event." Jerry said.
"Unforgiven is only two weeks away, thirteen days away to be exact." JR said.
Kane and the Bladewolf get onto the ring apron and enter the ring. Kane raises his arms and throws them down, causing fire to explode from the turnbuckles. The lights return to normal, Kane's theme dies down, before Mick Foley's theme suddenly replaces it.
"What the?!" Jerry blinked.
"it's the Commissioner!" JR said as Foley makes his way down and walks around to the announce table. "And he's going to be joining us from the looks of it.
"Oh no." Jerry groaned as Mick put a headset on.
Undertaker's theme then hits to a pop from the crowd before the American Badass drives out on his motorcycle, soon making his way down to the ring which he circles on his motorcycle before parking it facing the ramp. Undertaker gets into the ring, staring down his brothers who stand outside the ring.
The Rock's theme then hits to a pop from the crowd as the People's Champion walks out and makes his way down towards the ring, where he poses with his title in hand before joining his partner in the ring as his theme dies down. Bladewolf and Kane get on the ring apron and share words, casting glances at their opponents occationally before Bladewolf enters the ring while Kane stays on the apron.
"Looks like the Bladewolf will start the match off for his side." JR said as the Rock gets out onto the apron while the Undertaker stays in the ring. "And the Undertaker will dot he same for his team."
"So Mick, what are you doing out here?" Jerry asked the Commissioner.
"To watch and see what could push me to make my final decision in regards to the WWF Title for Unforgiven." Mick said.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Wasting no time, Bladewolf comes at his brother with a boot, to which Undertaker retaliates with a punch and the two begin slugging it out with each other, exchanging rights before Bladewolf caught the Undertaker's and took him down MMA-style, bringing his forearm down on his brother repeatedly which forced him to cover up. Bladewolf gets tio his feet and stomps on his brother.
"Bladewolf and Undertaker going at it." JR said. Bladewolf brings his knee into the Undertaker's ribcage. "Oh! Knee to the ribs."
"Those hurt." Mick nodded. "I've been in the ring with the Bladewolf, and trust me when I say... you aren't going to be walking away 100%."
"He;s also the one who practically retired you at WrestleMania." Jerry points out. Bladewolf pulls the Undertaker to his feet only to be elboiwed in the face by his brother, making him stumble to the corner where the Undertaker goes on the attack.
"He did." Mick nodded.
Undertaker throws right hands at the Bladewolf, forcing him to cover up to defend himself. Undertaker then Irish whips him into the opposite corner, Bladewolf comes off only to be lifted up and hit with a sidewalk slam by the Undertaker.
"Sidewalk slam!" JR said.
Undertaker covers his brother.
"One!"
"Two-!"
Kane interrupts the count.
"Kane, interrupting the pin." JR said.
"Bladewolf would've kicked out of that anyway, it takes a lot to keep him down for good." Mick said.
Kane gets back out onto the ring apron as Undertaker pulls Bladewolf over to his corner and tags in the Rock, who comes in and throws some rights at the Demon Wolf, sends him into the ropes before taking him down with a elbow to the face. Bladewolf gets right back to his feet, blocks a right from the Rock and takes him down with a right hand of his own, then another right hand.
"Bladewolf now fighting back." JR said. Bladewolf picks the Rock up, runs and drives him into his corner, tagging in Kane. "Tag made to Kane."
"Oh no." Jerry said.
Kane brings a boot down onto the Rock's chest, pulls him to his feet and Irish whips him off the ropes where he takes him down with a big boot to the face. Kane grabs the Rock in a headlock, backs into his corner and tags in Bladewolf who comes in and holds the Rock in order to drive his knee inthe stomach of the WWF Champion.
"Bladewolf and Kane, working well so far." JR noted.
"They are brothers." Jerry pointed.
"That brotherly bond means little compared to the WWF Championship, King." Mick told him.
Kane gets out onto the ring apron while Bladewolf knees the Rock repeatedly in the stomach before getting him into a headlock... AND NAILS THE DDT!
"DDT! Bladewolf with a DDT on the rock!" JR said as Bladewolf rolls the Rock over and hooks the legs. "The cover!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Thr-!"
Undertaker breaks the pin with a kick to Bladewolf before getting back out onto the ring apron.
"And Undertaker breaks the count." JR said.
Bladewolf glares at his brother before he grabs the Rock and pulls him to his feet, only for his arms to be pushed off and the Rock starts fighting back with right hands, but Bladewolf reverses and sends the Rock into the corner only for the Brahma Bull to come out with a huge clothesline, then the Rock clobbers Kane which knocks him down from the ring apron. The Rock turns as Bladewolf runs at him... BUT THE ROCK NAILS THE SPINEBUSTER!
"Spinebuster! Spinebuster by the Rock!" JR shouted.
"Uh-oh!" Jerry exclaimed as the Rock stood at the Bladewolf's head.
the Rock goes for the People's Elbow, but Kane trips him up from outside the ring. The Rock stumbles to his feet and gets tackled into the corner hard, where Bladewolf drives his shoulder repeatedly into the Rock's stomach before he pulls him close and hits a belly-to-belly suplex.
"Nice belly-to-belly." JR said.
Stumbling to his feet, Bladewolf eyes the Rock... WHEN HE SPEARS THE UNDERTAKER OFF THE RING APRON!
"What the?!" Jerry's eyes widened.
"Bladewolf striking the Undertaker with a Spear!" JR said.
Bladewolf takes his attention back to the Rock and raises his right hand, signalling a Chokeslam. Kane comes in and both brothers grab the Rock by the throat, lift him up... AND PLANT HIM WITH A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!
"DOuble Chokeslam to the Rock!" JR said as Kane slides out the ring and goes after the Undertaker. "Now Kane attacking the Undertaker!"
Bladewolf covers the Rock.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three! Ring the bell!" The referee shouted.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Down with the Sickness plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet. "Here is your winners... KANE AND THE BLADEWOLF!" Lillian Garcia announced.
"So Mick, what do you think?" Jerry asked.
"What do I think? All four of these men want to tear each other apart for the WWF Title, so the way I see it? It's going to be a Fatal-Way match." Mick nodded.
"What?!" Jerry's eyes widened.
"At Unforgiven, it's going to be all four of these men going at it for the Rock's WWF Championship..."
And that's it for this chapter.
