RAW is WAR: 10/4/2000
RAW is WAR was live at the National Car Rental Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was only appropriate that South Florida's own The Rock came out as the show began. The Rock said that even though he had had his way with Vince, Shane and Stephanie McMahon over the last few weeks, he wanted more. He wanted a shot at the World Wrestling Federation Championship. The man who could grant him that title shot, Vince McMahon, appeared. The owner was carrying a steel chair - perhaps the same one that The Rock had clobbered him with on SmackDown Vince said that The Rock would earn a title shot if he could defeat an opponent to be named later in a steel cage match on RAW! Mr. McMahon then proceeded to try and convince the People's Champion that it was Vince McMahon who turned The Rock into a superstar. Furthermore, Vince never got one "thank you" for all his trouble - and that is why Vince McMahon did what he did at WrestleMania. Just when it appeared that The Rock was about to snap, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Shane came out, but their appearance was only a distraction. Vince tried to hit the "Great One" with the chair, but The Rock caught him in the nick of time, took the chair away from him and slammed him across the spine. Shane, Triple H and Stephanie had to assist the owner back to the locker room.
In the first match of the evening, Edge and Christian defended the Tag Team Championship against the Road Dogg and X-Pac, seconded by Tori. When Tori distracted the referee, Road Dogg clobbered Christian with one of the Tag Team Titles; X-Pac made the cover and we appeared to have new Tag Team Champions. However, senior official Earl Hebner came from the back and explained what happened to referee Mike Chiota, who ordered the match to continue. Seconds later, Edge speared X-Pac, and pinned him, so Edge and Christian retained their titles.
After preaching to the crowd about the joys of abstinence, Kurt Angle defeated the Godfather, accompanied by some fine Ft. Lauderdale ladies, with his Olympic suplex.
With Grand Master Sexay out nursing an injured knee, two-thirds of Too Cool (Scotty Too Hottie and Rikishi Phatu) teamed up with Tazz for six-man action against Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko. Scott locked Malenko into his own Texas Cloverleaf maneuver, but there was pandemonium in and out of the ring, and the referee was distracted. Saturn clobbered Scotty from behind, and the Radicalz ended up stealing the victory.
There had been rumors all night that Triple H would defend his Federation Championship, but his opponent was unknown. Those questions were to be answered as the champion, accompanied by Stephanie and Shane, came out dressed in his ring attire. Backstage, Taka Michinoku and Funaki walked through the doors, and Triple H could be seen grinning; however, when the Acolytes walked through the doors immediately after the members of Kaientai, Triple H's emotions changed into shock. It was Taka that was to be Triple H's opponent, but Taka and Funaki had clearly paid for the services of the Acolyte Protection Agency. Before the match got underway, Bradshaw and Faarooq chased Shane back to the locker room. Moments later, Shane reappeared, this time with Vince. While Shane and Vince distracted the Acolytes, Bull Buchanan and the Big Boss Man came from behind and knocked Bradshaw and Faarooq unconscious. Back in the ring, Triple H finished off Taka with a Pedigree. As Shane, Vince, Stephanie and Triple H retreated to the locker room, they pummeled the fallen Acolytes with a couple of kicks for good measure.
Trish Stratus was shown in the backstage area, getting a pop from the crowd. She was busy talking to a merchandise designer when they were interrupted by the arrival of Test and Albert, earning boos from the crowd. Test motioned for the designer to leave and turns to Trish.
"Hey baby girl." He greeted, looking her up and down.
"Don't call me baby girl." Trish said firmly, narrowing her eyes. "What do you two want?"
"Just want to know why a hot babe such as you would hang around someone unstable psycho like the Bladewolf, when you could be with a more powerful duo like us." Test offered with a smirk that he shared with Albert.
Trish rolled her eyes and fully turned to face them. "First off, I'd rather be a desperate slut than walk around with you guys." The crowd exclaimed at her words while T&A went wide eyed. "Secondly, I'm not interested. I have a boyfriend."
"I don't think you were listening the first time." Albert said, about to take a step forward when he stopped as the Bladewolf came up behind Trish, staring T&A down while the crowd cheered at his appearance.
"Do we have a problem here?" He asked stoically, staring down Albert then looked to Test with the same cold glare.
"No." Test held his hands up, backing up after motion to Albert. "No problem. Just, uh, saying hello to your girlfriend. She could do better."
T&A walked away after another exchange of looks between Albert and Bladewolf, leaving the couple to share a look themselves.
After the break, T&A was in tag team action, as the duo took on the Hardy Boyz. Test and Albert clearly had the size and power advantage, but Jeff and Matt used their quickness and finished off Albert with the Twist of Fate and the Swanton bomb.
As the Hardys celebrated while backing up the ramp, the crowd cheered as the Bladewolf walked out with Trish, making their way down towards the ring. The Hardys quickly cleared the way for them as they passed without giving the Hardys so much as a glance.
Bladewolf slides into the ring, looking between the downed T&A then focuses on test first while raising his right hand. Test pulls himself to his feet and turns around... INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts him up and... PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Turning to Albert now, Bladewolf pulls the big man to his feet and lifts him across his shoulders in a fireman's carry and then... HITS THE FIREMAN'S CARRY CUTTER AGAIN! That move is known now as the Wrath of the Wolf.
Bladewolf stands tall over the two men then leaves the ring. Trish sides up to him and kisses his cheek before the two take their leave as T&A slowly recover from the match they had with the Hardys combined with the Bladewolf's attack.
And that's it for this chapter, folks. Sorry that it's a little short.
