Regular Intro for RAW

Vince McMhan comes out. Vince talks about the Undertaker/Kane Inferno match tonight. Vince brings out Paul Wight. Paul said, "I walked Hell's fire(WCW) and entered Heaven's gate(WWF)." Paul says things will never be the same in the WWF and teases Austin about reffing his match. Rocky Maivia comes out and is mad at Paul saying he helped him win the title. The two argue face-to-face until Mankind comes out. Mankind said Commisioner Shawn Michaels made him a second ref with Paul Wight at Wrestlemania 15's World Title Match. Mankind said he wants to get a little reffing experience in tonight with Mankind reffing Paul Wight vs. Rocky Maivia tonight for the World Title. The 2 agree to the match.

Sable asks her to come to the ring. The fan says her name is Torri. Sable asks what she likes about Sable. Torri says her kindness, gracefullness, beauty, etc. Sable tells her she's pathetic and to get a life. Luna Vachon comes out. Luna says not everyone can be like her and the only reason why she's the Women Champ is because of her looks. Sable says she's only here for the guys and tells both of them to leave. Once they start to leave Sable nails both of them with the belt.

Vince McMhan comes to the ring with the envelope that Undertaker gave him last week. Vince basically says Kane is gonna make Undertaker burn. And this is the first time we see the Undertaker without his hood on, and he doesn't have that stupid beard pasted on him. Anyways Vince joins commentary for the next match.

MATCH 9:(Inferno Match) Corporation's Kane vs. MOD's Undertaker
WINNER: Undertaker via making Kane catch on fire(6:51)10/10

It was Kane's boot that caught on fire.

Vince got a teddy bear during commentary from Midian. The Teddy bear kinda hypnotised him. After the match the Undertaker took it from him and burned it and tossed it on the ring entrance ramp. Vince McMhan layed next to it and cried, which was a pretty funny segment as the show went off the air.

COMMENTS: OK, I guess I'll call Dennis Knight, Midian and Mabel, Viscera, even though those are Shit-Ass names! It's hard to say that Rocky Maivia is a 3-Time WWF World Champion in only a 3-Month Span! The Brood got a huge pop tonight, I was expecting Public Enemy too, but they didn't. I'm glad Public Enemy is in the WWF to add a little more heat to the WWF's great, but now better tag team division, now lets just bring the Quebecers back! I wish Public Enemy's debut match could've been a little longer to make people see what they're capable of. I wasn't disappointed with the World Title Match, cuz I kinda figured something like that would've happened, but another certain famous RAW Reporter named Joe, was pissed about it, hopefully he'll recognize things like that happen on a taped RAW mid-card match. The Bloodbaths are getting boring and so is Cole calling Bob Holly, Hardcore Holly just cuz he's the Hardcore Champ, but what will they call him after he loses the title? The show was pretty good tonight except that 6 out of the 9 were short matches, and only 2 had decent endings, but the show was a Hell of a lot better than last weeks and gets a B. C ya next week.
