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 entranceway!
Next up, the Bladewolf vs Kane to decide the #1 Contender for the WWF Championship.
Before the match could begin, or even before either of the contestants could come out, the Rock's theme hit to a pop from the crowd as the WWF Champion comes out and makes his way down the ramp, walking around the ring and over to the commentary table where he puts on a headset, joining JR and Jerry Lawler.
OOOOOOOOWWWWHHHHOOOOOOO!
Dead Silent plays to a mixed reaction as the lights go out, before a lone spotlight shines on a dark robe-clad Trish Stratus standing on the stage with her back to the camera. The Bladewolf then walks out and stands in front of her as Trish sheds the robe and walks in front, caressing his shoulder along the way as the song's lyrics begin.
"He is time. Famine. War. Pestilence you cannot endure."
In a seductive manner, Trish climbed onto the ring apron and began to mouth along with the next verse.
"The End is here. The End is here. Fall and pray." Here, Trish started to get more frantic as she entered the ring. "Fall and pray! Fall and pray!"
She dropped down as the Bladewolf came forward with a primal roar, the lights now flickering red frantically as the Demon Wolf stood in the middle of the ring while Trish danced around him to the repeating 'Fall and Pray!' parts of the song. Bladewolf then beat his chest to the drums in the song as Trish crawled between his legs and leaned against them, the song dying down after the drums and the lights slowly returning to normal.
The Bladewolf removes his coat and hands it to Trish, who leaves the ring to stand at ringside while the Bladewolf stares directing at the Rock who mouths off to him, before the Bladewolf faces the stage and glares ahead, adjusting one of his singlet straps briefly.
The pyro explodes and Kane's theme plays before the Big Red Machine makes his way out and down towards the ring. "The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and it is to determine the #1 Contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship! Making his way to the ring, weighing 326 lbs... KANE!" Lillian Garcia announced.
Kane climbs into the ring and steps forward, raising his arms and brings them down, causing fire to explode from the turnbuckles. As the lights start to return to normal... THE BLADEWOLF ATTACKS KANE FROM BEHIND!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Just like on SmackDown with his match against the Undertaker, the Bladewolf throws hate-filled, angry punches at Kane, angry at his brother for costing him a shot at the WWF Championship but he gets another chance tonight, and a chance to also beat his brother to a pulp for his actions.
The Bladewolf continues to throw right hands at Kane, who retaliates with right hands of his own and the two keep going back and forth with their attacks, hitting each other at the same time even before Kane gets the Bladewolf into the corner, driving his knee into his brother's midsection, then brings a forearm down before unloading with a fury of lefts and rights, and even an uppercut before he pulls him out of the corner and Irish whips him off the ropes. The Bladewolf rebounds off the ropes, ducks a reverse elbow, hits the ropes again and stops as Kane goes for a big boot.
The Bladewolf charges but gets a clothesline by his brother. Shaking his head, the Bladewolf starts getting to his feet but Kane grabs him and bring sbis forearm down onto his back, sending the Bladewolf to a knee but he fights back by throwing a right at Kane who dogded and then boots his brother in the face.
Pulling his brother back to his feet, Kane lifts him up and hits a backbreaker before going for the cover! ONE! TWO! THR-! The Bladewolf kicks out at two.
Getting to his feet, Kane pulls his brother into the corner and lands a sharp right uppercut, then a sharp right hook before booting him in the midsection. Kane then whips the Bladewolf across the ring and into the opposite corner hard, making him stumble out into a boot to the midsection, then Kane lifts him up into a military pres before dropping him onto his front. The Bladewolf rolls onto his back, expression twisting with pain.
Kane points at the Rock who warns him against it.
Kane turns back to focus on his brother, but the Bladewolf floors Kane with a clothesline then runs, hits the ropes and hits a running elbow drop to Kane's chest before hooking the leg! ONE! TWO-! Kane kicks out!
The Bladewolf gets to his feet, flipping his hair back before he pulls Kane up, wraps his arms around his brother's waist and hits a German Suplex. However, he holds on as he hits another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another. He stops there and releases Kane before covering him! ONE! TWO! THR-! Kane kicks out once again.
The Bladewolf punches Kane before getting to his feet, pulling Kane to his. However, Kane grabs him and scoops him up onto his right shoulder, but the Bladewolf gets out of his hold, sends Kane into the corner and then delivers a forearm to the back of the head, sending Kane down. Grabbing his brother, the Bladewolf hooks the arm and then hits a snap suplex, gets to his feet and then jumps up before coming back down with a leg drop across Kane's head. He hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! THRE-! kan e kicks out, nearfall for the Bladewolf.
The Bladewolf shakes his head before he gets out onto the ring apron and climbs to the top rope as Kane sits up and gets to his feet, turning just in time for the Bladewolf to leap off... AND TAKE KANE DOWN WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!
The Bladewolf gets to his feet and pulls the straps of his singlet top to his waist, adjusting his tights briefly before he glares towards the Rock and points at him, and the Rock mouths off to him from his position at the announce table. The Bladewolf then gets out onto the ring apron when Kane, back on his feet, charges... AND KNOCKS THE BLADEWOLF OFF THE APRON AND HE HITS THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Falling to the floor, the Bladewolf laid there, groaning in pain as Kane gets out of the ring and stomps on his younger brother repeatedly, before stopping to roll back into the ring and rll back out, breaking the referee's count.
The Bladewolf, leaning on the ring post, sees Kane charging towards him... AND MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! KANE COLLIDES WITH THE STEEL RING POST!
Flipping his hair back, the Bladewolf walks over to the announce table and picks up one of the headsets to put on.
"Listen, the Rock says-" The Rock said.
"The Bladewolf says shut your damn mouth and listen to someone else for once." The Bladewolf cut him off. "I'm going to kick his ass, and then i'm going to shove this headset up your ass before I take that title from you." With that, he rips the headset off and throws it at the Rock's chest, making him stand and take off his own as he mouths right back to the Bladewolf.
Kane grabs the Bladewolf from behind and sends him into the steel steps! As the Rock picks up the headset and starts putting them on... KANE GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT AND PULLS HIM ACROSS THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! Kane rears back and knocks the WWF Champion down with a right hand... AND THEN THE BLADEWOLF HITS KANE FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
This one was going to end by DQ.
Kane turns and hits a big boot, knocking the Bladewolf down. Kane then turns only to be hooked up by the Rock, lifted up... AND HIT WITH A ROCK BOTTOM ON THE FLOOR!
The Rock's theme plays as the WWF Champion picks up his title and leaves, raising the title.
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, and his twisted manager - 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!
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!
The Bladewolf soon came to ringside, but he was headed off by the Undertaker. 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.
