DARK MATCH Sam Wilde was on top of his game as Scott Cross got little offense against him and quickly fell victim to the "Testament of Wilde" to get the win in 2:10 RAW GOES LIVE
RIGHT AS RAW COMES ON THE AIR, PICTURES FROM SEPTEMBER 11TH's TERRORIST ATTACKS APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. THEY RANGE FROM THE DEVSTATION AT GROUND ZERO, TO HEROIC SHOTS OF THE NEW YORK POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. AN IMAGE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG WAVING IN THE BREEZE IS SHOWN AS THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK. THE PHRASE "WE WILL NEVER FORGET" APPEARS. "ACROSS THE NATION" BLASTS ON AS RAW's MONTAGE FEATURING ALL THE RAW DIVISION STARS IS SHOWN. THE ARENA IN BILLINGS COMES INTO VIEW WITH THOUSANDS OF WILD AND CRAZY TWF FANS. Jim Ross: "We're glad you could be here for this gigantic edition of TWF RAW as we commemorate those lost in last year's terrorist attacks with a huge night King"! A PROMO PICTURE FEATURING JESSICA LOPEZ AND FRANCINE POPS UP WITH THE RAW LOGO IN BACK. Jerry Lawler: "RAW has come to Montana for the first time ever J.R. and what a treat they're gonna get! It's gonna be the first ever whip on a pole match between Jessica Lopez and the NWO's Francine! Ooh, it's gonna be great"! ANOTHER PROMO PICTURE WITH THE RAW LOGO POPS UP SHOWING JORDAN ROCKWELL, LITA AND BAHAMUT ON ONE SIDE WHILE THE UNDERTAKER AND TRIPLE H ARE ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "And what a huge main event we have, Bahamut will team with the TWF Champion Jordan Rockwell to meet the game and the deadman and not to mention, Carney has requested a Toughman title match right here tonight with Nails"! MR. PERFECT's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COME OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. PERFECT HAS THE TWF IC TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Lawler: "That could be a huge career mistake for Carney but check this out J.R., it's our brand new Intercontinental champion"! J.R.: "Well I admire Carney's bravery but I can't say that I admire these two, what are they doing out here"? Mr. Perfect: "Ya know, all you idiots in this crowd need to be on your feet clapping for perfection! CROWD BOOS LOUDER. I mean, I know this is Montana andd education isn't all that great down here, but didn't your parents teach you respect? (pauses) If any of you watched Uprising, you saw me, Mr. Perfect outclass three other guys to win this. (he points to the title) And now, you all finally have a champion that you can be proud of, a champion who brought this title back to RAW. So what I wanna do right..... JUST THEN, "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND THE CROWD FLIPS AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT ON STAGE WITH A MIC IN HAND. Rob Van Dam: "Hey Perfect, I couldn't help overhearing your loud mouth talking about yourself again, but don't you think you're leaving out just one little detail"? Christopher Nowinski: "Van Dam, you can't even spell detail, go backstage". RVD: "Shut up Harvard boy, you and your boyfriend up there both know that if it wasn't for your interference last week, Perfect wouldn't of even been in that match on Uprising. So the way I see it, I get the first crack, what do ya say Perfect"? CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS J.R.: "Hell yeah, that's a great idea"! Nowinksi: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This man here is two days removed from a grueling fatal four way elimination match, he doesn't have to fight anybody. If it's a fight you want so bad Van Dam, what don't you fight me, tonight"?! RVD: "Well since your buddy is scared to put the title up tonight, you got it". "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AGAIN AS RVD POINTS HIS THUMBS TOWARDS HIS SHOULDERS AND THE CROWD CHANTS R-V-D AS PERFECT AND NOWINSKI ARE SHOWN SEETHING IN THE RING. J.R.: "It sounds to me like Perfect is ducking RVD but Van Dam's gonna get his hands on the man from Harvard tonight"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... McMAHON SUITE.... STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SITTING AT HER DESK LOOKING OVER TONIGHT's PROGRAM WHEN NEMESIS ENTERS AND POUNDS A CLOSED FIST ON HER DESK. Stephanie: (startled) "What, what is it"? Nemesis: "Why in the hell does Carney get a shot at Nails tonight? I want that son of a bitch in a match"! Steph: "Well, Carney requested the match and Nails accepted, besides, you have a match tonight against Masa Chono. But trust me Nemesis, if you can stay focused, a title shot could be right around the corner". Lawler: "What"? COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... NWO LOCKER ROOM.... SCOTT HALL AND KEVIN NASH ARE TALKING AMONGST EACH OTHER WHEN MASA CHONO AND MUTA ENTER THE ROOM. Kevin Nash: "How come you boys are late"? CHONO AND MUTA JUST SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS. Listen, Chono, tonight you have a match against Nemesis. Now he's been a big thorn in our side so you better get the job done". Masa Chono: "Nemesis is mine". Scott Hall: "Oh yeah, don't go anywhere after the match either, big Kev and I have a big announcement to make". BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE NWO THEME HITS AS FRANCINE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT AS THE CAMERA SHOWS A WHIP LATCHED ONTO A POLE IN ONE CORNER OF THE RING. J.R.: "What kind of big announcement? Don't tell me those scumbags have another member"! Lawler: "I bet they do J.R., I can't wait to see who it is"! JESSICA LOPEZ' MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A FAVORABLE POP. J.R.: "Well here comes a young lady who is slowly getting back on top of her game here in the TWF and it was last week that she wanted a confrontation with Akasha when that woman, Francine, interrupted". Lawler: "And it's all led to this catfight with a whip J.R.! Ah this is gonna be great"! J.R.: "The object of this match is to climb the pole and grab the whip. The first person to do that and use the whip on their opponent is the winner". Whip on a Pole Match Francine vs. Jessica Lopez Francine came out the agressor in this one. After the two exchanged bitch slaps, Francine took her down with a double leg takedown and the two began rolling on the mat, getting shots in when they could. Francine drug Lopez to the corner by her hair and stomped away at her midsection before flinging her across the ring by her hair. She then tried to make an early trip up the pole but Lopez came and pulled her down. Francine reversed an irish whip and caught Lopez with a glancing clothesline. She then positioned her for a running bulldog but Jessica countered it with a back drop suplex. After a body slam, Lopez tried to make her way up the pole but Francine was able to stall her just in time. Lopez tried to kick Francine away but Francine rippped her shirt, pulling her down to the mat. Francine then went for a northern lights suplex but Lopez blocked it and stuck Francine with a hard ddt. Francine was out as Lopez slowly made her way to the corner and up the pole to grab the whip. After 1 lash across Francine's back, the bell sounded, declaring Lopez the winner. But as Lopez raised the whip to strike her again, Akasha entered the ring with a whip of her own and lashed Lopez across the back and arms. As Lopez went down, Akasha set her up and delivered a hard powerbomb. Akasha then left the ring, with Lopez down in it. Match Time: 7:02 J.R.: "That damn Akasha has done it again! What's this woman's problem"? Lawler: "Akasha has sent a message to any woman that's gotten into her path here in the TWF, why stop now"? J.R.: "Well I just think she's scared of some good old competition"! Lawler: "I can assure you that that's not the case J.R.". BACKSTAGE CAMERAS CATCH UP WITH JOHNATHAN COACHMAN WHO IS ON SCENE WHEN SHAWN STASIAK ARRIVES AT THE ARENA IN A BLACK LEXUS. Johnathan Coachman: "Shawn Stasiak, we heard rumors earlier that you might show up on RAW tonight but how, you're a PrimeTime superstar"? Shawn Stasiak: "Correction, I was a PrimeTime superstar. But after winning the right to make this choice not once, but twice, I have decided to come to RAW. Ya see Coach, why would I wanna be around a guys that threaten to take over the if they don't get their way? Why would I want to be around a guy who presents a video in order to get a rematch? I came to RAW because I saw the wide open oppurtunity over here. And another..... JUST THEN, AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES UP. Austin Pyromania: "Hey Stasiak, just so you know, you'll have to start at the bottom and work your way up. But plan on staying down there, cause the last time I checked, RAW wasn't for losers". Shawn Stasiak: "Oh really? Then why are you here"? WITH THAT, PYROMANIA REACHES BACK AND SOCKS STASIAK AND A BRAWL ENSUES. PARKING LOT SECURITY ENDS UP SEPERATING THE TWO MEN. Nemesis vs. Masa Chono w/Muta As Nemesis removed his trench coat, Chono attacked him from behind with a hard chop the neck and then he blasted the big man in the corner with a series of knifedge chops. He then grabbed Nemesis by the back of the hair and gave him 4 shots to the head with his knee. He bounced off the far side ropes but Nemesis stuck his big boot in the face. He then bounced off the ropes and took Chono out with an amazing flying clothesline. Chono got up quite flustered and Nemesis kicked him in the gut before delivering a gutwrench into a powerbomb. He made the cover but broke it when Muta jumped up on the apron. Referee Jim Korderas got in between Nemesis and Muta as Chono came from behind and hit Nemesis with a low blow that led to an STO. Chono then slid out of the ring and folded up a steel chair which was near the timekeepers table. With Muta and Korderas still arguing, Chono held the chair up but Nemesis got up and punched it right in Chono's face! Nemesis then pulled the chair off of him as blood poured out of Chono's nose. Muta then pointed and yelled for Korderas to turn around and when he did, he saw Nemesis holding the chair and blood covering the face of Chono and he immediately called for the bell, disqualifying Nemesis. Nemesis banged the chair on the mat in protest but when his pleads with Korderas to change his decision proved futile, he turned and drilled Muta with the chair, knocking him from the apron to the floor as "In My Darkest Hour" by Megadeath hit and Nemesis left to the roar of the crowd. Match Time: 4:05 J.R.: "Well Chono may be your winner because of a bogus DQ but he sure doesn't look like one"! Lawler: "Now you wanna talk bad sportsmanship, there's the posterboy"! J.R.: "Oh don't pretend like you don't have eyes King! That was crap and you know it"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... McMAHON SUITE SCOTT STEINER, "TOO HOT" SCOTT TAYLOR AND VICTORIA ALL ENTER. Scott Taylor: "Just what is the meaning of this Stephanie"? Stephanie: "The meaning of what"? Taylor: "I beat Strife one, two, three last week on RAW and I have to face him again tonight"? Stephanie: "Ya sure do. I'm in charge of this show now and I am going to promote fairness and it starts tonight. Now you're right, you did beat Strife last week, but only because of her. SHE POINTS AT VICTORIA. That's why tonight, Steiner and Victoria, you two are barred from ringside. Oh, and on top of that, Steiner, you have a match with Strife, one on one at When World's Collide"! Scott Steiner: (removes his glasses) Oh there's gonna be a collision alright. Strife likes to talk about how he's the locomotive. Well, the train will come to a complete stop when it hits Big Poppa Pump. HE PULLS HIS SHADES BACK DOWN. Let's go guys". STEINER TAKES VICTORIA BY THE ARM AND THEY LEAVE THE OFFICE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE HARVARD FIGHT SONG HITS AS CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COMES OUT WITH MR. PERFECT TO AS UNISON OF BOOS. J.R.: "Well you heard it there folks, Strife will get the match he's been looking for for weeks now at When World's Collide". Lawler: "Well you heard Big Poppa Pump, he's not gonna back down an inch to the locomotive"! "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS OF THE NIGHT. J.R.: "TWF fans all over the world love this guy as he'll face the man who likes to brag about himself more than anyone I've ever met, Christopher Nowinski. All because Mr. Perfect was too scared to put the title on the line tonight". Lawler: "You heard it earlier J.R., Perfect is coming off a big time match on Uprising! He shouldn't have to put the title on the line tonight! And as far as Nowinski bragging about himself, you would too if you had half the credentials this guy does! He's a bonified genius"! J.R.: "Well he is very intelligent, but let's see what he can do against one of the most versatile men in the business". Rob Van Dam vs. Christopher Nowinski w/Mr. Perfect This was a surprisingly terrific match in which Nowinski took control by using his amatuer background. After a fireman's carry, Nowinski knocked RVD to the mat with a football tackle and then he used the ring ropes to choke him. As referee Chad Patton broke it up, Nowinski distracted him as Perfect came over and choked RVD some more. After a hard clothesline, Nowinksi made the lateral press but RVD kicked out at 2. Nowinski then went for a standard vertical suplex but RVD slipped out and landed behind Nowinski. After ducking a clothesline, RVD hit a spinning heel kick followed by Rolling Thunder but Nowinski was able to kick out at 2. RVD then whipped Nowinski to the corner and followed in but posted his shoulder when Nowinski moved. That led to the "Honor Roll" as Nowinski hooked the leg 1.....2...., but somehow RVD kicked out! Nowinski couldn't believe it and he wasted precious time arguing with Patton over the speed of the count. He then sent him for the ride but RVD caught him coming in with a back elbow followed by a martial arts kick to the chest from the middle turnbuckle. After clotheslining Nowinski out of the ring, RVD hit a flipping suicide dive that brought the crowd to their feet. RVD then got back into the ring as Nowinski slowly made his way up on the apron. RVD went to suplex him back in but Perfect came over and pulled RVD's foot out, tripping him. Perfect then held both of RVD's feet down, making it impossible to kick out as Nowinski landed on him for the 3 count. Match Time: 8:31 Lawler: "He did it J.R.! Nowinski and Perfect may be the smartest duo in wrestling history"! J.R.: "You call that smart?! I call that a couple of cheating punks who know what the result will be in a one on one situation"! RVD IS SHOWN IN THE RING LOOKING VERY MAD AS NOWINSKI AND PERFECT WALK UP THE RAMP SMILING, PERFECT HOLDING HIS IC TITLE IN THE AIR AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACKSTAGE. BACKSTAGE.... TEAM XTREME's DRESSING ROOM.... Jeff Hardy: "Hey man, don't you think you're getting a little out of control challenging Nails to a match tonight. I mean, he busted me up pretty good on Saturday Night's Main Event a few weeks ago". Carney: "Yeah Jeff, I know. But I decided it was time for me to actually do something extreme. Our tag team sure as hell hasn't been". CARNEY LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AS JEFF LOOKS ON IN A STATE OF DISBELIEF. OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA.... OUTSIDE JORDAN ROCKWELL's DRESSING ROOM... Lilian Garcia: I'm here with the TWF world champion........... (Rockwell cuts her off)
Jordan Rockwell: "Wait, wait, wait. Lillian if you stop, be quiet and listen, the people will tell you exactly who I am.
The fans begin a deafening chant of Rockwell's name over and over as Lilian gets an amazed look on her face from the noise.
Jordan Rockwell: "Please proceed".
Lilian: Wow, uhmm, ok, I wanted to get your thoughts on the recent comments of King T".
Jordan Rockwell: (with a puzzeled look on his face) "Who? King who? Who's he the homosexual president of the wham fanclub? Huh, you know, wake me up before you go go".
(both lita and the fans laugh)
Lilian: (trying not to laugh) "No, King T from the GWF".
Jordan Rockwell: "Oh, my bad, well at least I got the homosexual part right and yeah I heard about that. Honestly, two things amazed me about that".
Lilian: "What's that"?
Rockwell: "First, the fact that the minute he said my name the gwf fans woke up after being bored to sleep by him and cheered louder for me then for him and he thinks they went to see him and second, everytime he says my name on gwf televison or pay-per-view, the ratings shoot through the damn roof and that makes it a good night for them".
Lilian: "He said a bunch of disrespectful things about you, lita and about the TWF recently".
Rockwell: "First, he talked about what type of person would want me as their world champion? Let's look at the facts. At MeltDown, I defeated Triple H and Stone Cold to win this belt by myself and yet back at his event he needed the help of one of his buddies to win his title and yet he questions my right to being the TWF world champion? Lemme ask you something Lilian"!
Lilian: "Okay sure".
Rockwell: (holding out the twf title) "What does this say"?
Lilian: "TWF world champion".
Rockwell: "Exactly, ya see, I earned the right to have this belt around my waist here in the twf. While King T needed someone to hold his hand on his way, I walked through hell on my own and won this". (hands the belt to lita)
crowd cheers
And as far as my sex life goes, I'm not gonna get personal right here at all, but i gotta know, what's the deal with this obsession you have with my private life?
the fans chant T is gay over and over.
Rockwell:(laughing) And I also heard you say that you were a real man. For the record, hiring that prostitute Ariel doesn't make you a real man it just shows you can't get a real woman and also you apparently need a raise in your pay since you only seem to be able to afford the bargain basement two cent trailer trash bag whores"!
crowd chants Rockwell over and over.
And as far as me learning from big time athletes, why don't you? (pauses for a moment) Oh wait, I forgot who I'm talkin to. Ah well, since I'm talkin to you and not a major player, why don't you come try and teach me something? Why don't you come prove you're more man than I am"?
Lita: "Ya know Jordan, there is the interfed pay-per-view coming up".
Rockwell: "Oh yeah, When Worlds Collide, in Madison Square Garden, the greatest sports arena in the world. In the center of the world, New York City! Well I'll tell you what T, why don't you come September 28th to New York City? Why don't you come to When World's Collide?. Why don't you come face me"?
FANS LOUDLY CHEER
Rockwell pulls Lita into him and gives her a deep passionate kiss for two minutues before letting go.
Lilian: "Okay, now that that's settled, what is your opinion of the decision High Octane made to bring Triple H over to RAW in order to get a shot at your TWF Title"? Jordan Rockwell: "Let me just say this, High Octane, I don't know what Triple H gave you or promised you for doing him such a favor, I just hope you know that he's not your friend". Lilian: "Well having said that, tonight, you team with your good friend Bahamut to face The Undertaker and the aforementioned Triple H. Now, you and Bahamut have never teamed together and you're facing two seasoned veterans. Is this gonna be a tough match"? Rockwell: "Are you kidding? Of course it's gonna be a tough match. But Bah and I know each other better than you think and if you remember correctly, Triple H and Taker aren't the best of friends". ROCKWELL AND LITA WALK AWAY AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL..... COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... McMAHON SUITE.... TRIPLE H AND HIGH OCTANE ENTER ALONG WITH NIDIA. Triple H: "What'd you call us down here for Steph"? Steph: "Don't call me Steph, Hunter. I'll start with you. Your gauranteed TWF Title rematch is gonna have to wait because I just got a phone call from Mr. Brad Conner of the GWF and Jordan Rockwell has a match for When World's Collide". Triple H: "Son of a bitch"! TRIPLE H ANGRILY STORMS OUT. Stephanie: "Now High Octane, you also have a match at When World's Collide". High Octane: "Which one of those GWF chumps do I get to beat up on"? Stephanie: "Well actually, all of the details have yet to be ironed out. But it will be a fatal four way elimination pitting the top 4 wrestling shows on tv against each other, to see who's the best. And in that match, you will represent my show, RAW"! Nidia: "Oh honey, that's great". NIDIA GIVES HIGH OCTANE AND HUG AND A KISS. HIGH OCTANE THEN SHAKES STEPHANIE's HAND. High Octane: "Thank you Miss McMahon, you won't be disappointed". HIGH OCTANE AND NIDIA LEAVE AS STEPHANIE SITS DOWN AT HER DESK. Stephanie: (to herself) "Steph. The verve of some". CAMERAS CATCH AN ANGRY TRIPLE H WALKING DOWN THE HALL WHEN HE IS CONFRONTED BY HULK HOGAN. Hulk Hogan: "Yo brother, you need to calm down. What are you mad about, you've got your gauranteed rematch". Triple H: "This doesn't concern you Hogan, now get out of the way". Hogan: "Hey man, you'll get your shot, in the meantime, prove you deserve it". Triple H: (aggravated) "Get out of the way"! TRIPLE H NUDGES HOGAN ASIDE AND WALKS OFF. BACK AT RINGSIDE, TEAM EXTREME's THEME HITS AS CARNEY COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "So some huge news announced concerning When World's Collide folks and don't forget, in just under two weeks we have that big press conference with the GWF"! Lawler: "Well I know one person that won't be at the press conference, this guy"! THE NWO THEME HITS AS NAILS COMES DOWN THE AISLE WITH FRANCINE WHO IS CARRYING HIS TOUGHMAN TITLE BELT. J.R.: "Well I admire Carney's courage here but this may be too tall of a mountain to climb". Lawler: "But what about his comment to Jeff earlier, about being extreme"? J.R.: "I'm not sure what's going on there. But this may be a little too extreme". TWF Toughman Title Match Challenger.... Carney vs. Nails w/Francine As soon as the bell rang, Nails came out and hammered away on Carney before dragging his ace along the ring ropes. He then got a steel chair from Francine and wrapped it around Carney's back several times. But when he lifted over his head to smack Carney in the head, Carney kicked him in the stomach and used a russian leg sweep. After a nice dropkick, Carney whipped Nails to the corner and went for the Whisper in the Wind but Nails caught him and threw him to the floor. Nails followed him out and hit him with a russian legsweep into the gaurd rail. He then whipped him right into the ring post and Carney was busted open. Nails then moved the protective padding on the floor and went for a cradle piledriver but Carney blocked it and lowblowed Nails. He then scoop slammed him right on the exposed concrete. Carney then grabbed a steel chair and tucked it under his elbow as he came off the arpon with a flying elbow with the chair, ala Cactus Jack. Carney then grabbed a singapore cane from underneath the ring and blasted Nails across the head with it, twice. Francine came around and grabbed one end of the cane but Carney pulled her in and shoved his tongue down her throat! This allowed Nails to regroup and he again pushed Carney into the steel post. He brought him in the ring and went for the "Nail Gun" but Carney slipped out of it and hit his "Carney Drop". Referee Tim White began to count 1....2...3...4...5...6...7...8..., but Nails pulled himself up. Carney then clotheslined him out of the ring and followed him out. Carney stood two chairs up side by side and layed Nails down on them. He jumped on top of the announce table and came off with a splash but Nails rolled off just in time and Carney had an ugly landing as the 15 minute time limit expired. Lawler: "Oh my god! He's dead J.R."! J.R.: "Carney is certainly hurt but take your hat off to the youngster folks, he gave Nails all he could handle"! Lawler: "Wait a minute, Nails isn't done"! JUST THEN, NAILS PULLED OUT A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES FROM HIS POCKET AND BLASTED CARNEY RIGHT AS HE GOT UP. J.R.: "Get him out of here! There was no need for that, you hung onto your title you son of a bitch! Damn the NWO"! Lawler: "Calm down J.R.". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... REY MYSTERIO HAS JUST FINISHED A CONVERSATION WITH RANDY ORTON WHEN EDDIE GUERRERO COMES UP. Eddie Guerrero: "Well, if it isn't the vato behind the mask, Rey Mysterio". Rey Mysterio: "What's up Eddie"? Guerrero: "What's up? What's up? You think you're a badass because you beat my little nephew Chavo last week homes, is that it? Well listen to this and listen good vato. I want you in a match next week on RAW, mano y mano and I will prove that there is no way you can beat me, Eddie Guerrero". EDDIE POUNDS HIS CHEST 3 TIMES AND WALKS AWAY. Mysterio: (to himself) "We'll see about that". COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... "TOO HOT" SCOTT TAYLOR's MUSIC HITS AND HE IS BOOED ALL THE WAY DOWN THE AISLE. J.R.: "Back on RAW folks and what a night it's already been as we have a rematch from last week on this show and even though Taylor and Steiner tried to protest it, it's gonna happen". STRIFE's NEW THEME BY POD HITS AS HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP AS RAILROAD TRACKS ARE SHOWN ON THE TWF TRON WITH A VIEW FROM UNDERNEATH A MOVING TRAIN. Lawler: "It's not right J.R., what did this guy do to deserve a rematch"? J.R.: "Got screwed last week. And then at When World's Collide, he gets Scott Steiner one on one as well"! Strife vs. "Too Hot" Scott Taylor Strife again had problems with Taylor's quickness as Taylor ducked a clothesline and caught Strife with a dropkick right on the right kneecap. After taking the big man to the mat, making him the same size, Taylor worked on the knees until he went for a figure 4 and Strife powered out by shoving Taylor in the rear end with his foot. As Taylor tried to charge back, Strife hit him with his 1 handed swinging chokeslam which amazed the crowd. Strife realized he didn't have to look over his shoulder with Steiner and Victoria barred from ringside an he completely took over. After a tilt-a-whirl sideslam, Strife caught Taylor with a big boot to the face off an irish whip. Strife then pulled Taylor up by the hair and hit him with a release tiger suplex that as J.R. said, "folded Taylor up like an accordion". Strife hooked the inside leg and got the 1....2....3. Match Time: 5:36 J.R.: "Redemption for Strife and oh it must be sweet. Steiner is next on the list for the locomotive"! J.R.: "You can come at him as hard as ya want Strife! Steiner's not going anywhere and at When World's Collide, I have a feeling you're the one who's gonna go to an unwanted destination"! AN AD FOR THE TWF MALL IS SHOWN. THE NWO THEME HITS AND THEY COME OUT IN FULL FORCE, KEVIN NASH, SCOTT HALL, NAILS, FRANCINE, MUTA AND CHONO. ONCE IN THE RING, NASH ASKS FOR THE HOUSE MIC. J.R.: "We heard earlier that the NWO had a big time announcement, what's it gonna be"? Lawler: "It's a new member J.R., I can feel it"! Kevin Nash: "Ya know, we were all backstage talking and what a run it's been for the NWO huh"? THE FANS GIVE A MIXED REACTION. J.R.: "Maybe for you guys"? Nash: "And that's why we're out here tonight. Because ya see, Scott and I were the founding fathers of this NWO and it changed the business forever. But there's nothing we hate to see more than an imposter and that's exactly what you get if you watch that crappy GWF show. Now I'm not gonna mention the names of you guys cause you're not even worth that but what I will do is this. At When World's Collide, we want three of you guys to meet three of us in a six man tag! We're gonna find out who the real NWO is! There's only room for one boys and you will find out the true meaning of New World Order because what we are proposing is simple. The loser of that match must drop the name forever. It's that simple, now the ball's in your court, chumps"! NASH DROPS THE MIC ON THE MAT AS THE NWO THEME HITS. Lawler: "My god that's a shocker! You mean, they're willing to put it all on the line"?! J.R.: "That's what it sounds like to me King, but will the GWF accept"? COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE.... AS RAW RETURNS, A BELL TOLLS AND THE UNDERTAKER MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO HIS ENTRANCE THEME TO A MIXED REACTION. J.R.: "We're back live folks and it's time for our big tag team main event and this should be a dandy". "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT AND POURS WATER OVER HIS HEAD. SHAKING IT OFF, HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE TO A MIXED REPONSE. Lawler: "Look at this team J.R.! The game and the deadman, who's gonna stop them"?! "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AS BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. J.R.: "Well a good point was brought up earlier, The Undertaker and Triple H are not best of friends and in fact were once worst of enemies". Lawler: "Wait a minute, this one has started"! THE UNDERTAKER WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND THREW A SOUPBONE RIGHT HAND AT BAHAMUT BUT IT WAS BLOCKED AND BAHAMUT HIT HIM WITH A FURY OF RIGHT HANDS BEFORE TRIPLE H CAME OVER TO MAKE IT A 2 ON 1 ADVANTAGE. SUDDENLY, "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HIT AND JORDAN ROCKWELL CAME OUT, DROPPED THE TWF TITLE ON THE STAGE AND RAN DOWN TO HELP OUT. ONCE ALL 4 MEN FINALLY GOT INTO THE RING AFTER ALMOST 5 MINUTES OF BRAWLING, THE BELL RANG, MAKING THE MATCH OFFICIAL. Triple H and The Undertaker vs. Jordan Rockwell and Bahamut This turned out to be a hell of a main event in which the fans got their money's worth. The Undertaker pummelled Bahamut with a few shots to the kidneys before blatantly choking him in the corner. He then twisted Bahamut's left arm and tagged in HHH who came in and went right to work on the arm, looking to hyperextend it. After Triple H rang the arm back again, Bahamut tried to pull him into a clothesline but Triple H ducked and hit a soulder first ddt that really wrenched that arm back. Triple H then tagged Undertaker back in and he whipped Bahamut to the corner and followed in with a hard clothesline followed by a running boot to the face. He went for the cover 1....2..., but Rockwell came in to make the save. Undertaker then shot Bahamut to the ropes but Bahamut ducked a big clothesline and hit Undertaker with a running forearm to the face. Both men slowly made it to their corners and tagged out but Rockwell was ready as he came in and took it right to the game. After a few clotheslines and a spinning scoop slam, Rockwell hit the fisherman suplex and got 1.....2..., before Undertaker came in to make the save. But Rockwell kept the pressure on and went for the Rock Smasher but Triple H countered it with an elbow to the side of the head and then hit his facebuster to the knee. He went for a cover but Rockwell kicked out at 2. Triple H then went for a body slam but Rockwell countered with a small package 1.....2....., but just in time, Triple H kicked out. Suddenly, all 4 men became involved but after clotheslining Bahamut out of the ring, The Undertaker then went and was tagged in. Bahamut tried to get back in but referee Earl Hebner got in his face as Triple H blatantly lowblowed Rockwell. Triple H then took Bahamut off the apron with a running right hand as Rockwell, in pain, walked right into the "Last Ride" as The Undertaker put him away for the 1....2....3. Match Time: 23:21 J.R.: "This one got out of hand and once Hebner lost control, the veterans used the easy route! Surprise, surprise"! Lawler: "I told you J.R., this is too strong a combination to be defeated and The Undertaker has pinned the champ"! J.R.: "He has done that and look at the look in the Undertaker's eyes! That spells trouble for someone"! OFF AIR.....
