East Rutherford, New Jersey
October 1, 2002
DARK MATCHES In women's action, Jessica Lopez hit a top rope hurracanrana to get back on the winning track, upsetting Jazz in 3:09 In what was probably the best non-televised match all year, Shelton Benjamin and Scott Cross traded high impact move after high impact move. But after sweeping Benjamin's feet out from under him on the top turnbuckle, Cross climbed up to the middle pad and brought him off with the "Fall from Grace" to win it in 13:18
RAW GOES LIVE "ACROSS THE NATION" HITS AS RAW's MONTAGE ROLLS SHOWING ALL THE FACES OF THE SHOW. THE OLD nWo LOGO THEN POPS UP BUT IS QUICKLY MARKED OUT WITH A BIG RED "X". THEN THE NOISY ARENA IS SHOWN AS THE CAMERA PANS THE SOLD OUT CROWD AS FIREWORKS BURST OFF ON THE SET. Jim Ross: "Hello everyone and welcome to RAW as we are live from New Jersey and off the heels of a tremendous pay-per-view event, it will be our first night without the nWo"! Jerry Lawler: "It's terrible J.R., what are we gonna do"?! THE NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING LOGO APPEARS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AS THE PROMOTION's THEME HITS AND TATSUMI FUJINAMI LEADS MASA CHONO AND THE GREAT MUTA DOWN THE AISLE TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R: "Well here come the guys who are directly responsible for the nWo being gone and it looks like Fujinami has something to say". Lawler: "Just wait till Hall, Nash and Nails get a hold of these guys"! Tatsumi Fujinami: "As you can see, I am a proud man right now. My men, Chono and Muta did not forget where they came from, as I predicted. Although I respect this company a great deal, I couldn't stand another moment of the worst thing to ever happen to this great sport, the nWo and I take great honor in being the reason they are gone. With Chono and Muta, we will do something some of the great wrestlers from our country have been trying to do for several years and that is to bring honor and prestige back to Japanese wrestling. As a working partner of the TWF, I have arranged for Chono and Muta to stay with this company, but wrestle under the New Japan banner. Thank you all very much". FUJINAMI GIVES THE HOUSE MIC TO LILIAN GARCIA AS THE NEW JAPAN THEME HITS AGAIN AND THEY LEAVE THE RING. J.R.: "Well Muta has a match tonight with the up and coming Randy Orton but like you said King, the former nWo has got to be hot on their trail"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... NEMESIS IS SHOWN WEARING HIS TRENCH COAT WITH HIS BACK TO THE CAMERA. SAM WILDE APPROACHES. Sam Wilde: "Hey Nemesis, did you read the story in the bible I gave you"? Nemesis: (pauses for a moment) "Let's go Sam.... we have a match". NEMESIS BEGINS TO WALK AWAY WITH HIS BACK STILL TO THE CAMERA AS WILDE FOLLOWS. J.R.: "Sam Wilde and Nemesis take on the Guerreros, next"! COMMERCIAL FOR SMACKDOWN 4 IS SHOWN. COMING SOON TO THE TWF GAMING LIBRARY, GET YOURS TODAY! RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA ENTER THE BUILDING TO A HUGE POP FROM INSIDE AND THEY RUN INTO HULK HOGAN AND THE FANS CHEERS GET EVEN LOUDER. Hulk Hogan: "Hey Jordan Rockwell, how ya doin' brother"? THE 2 SHAKE HANDS. Jordan Rockwell: "Oh, a little sore but you know, not bad". Hogan: "That's great man, listen, I just wanted to be the first to say congratulations and way to stand up for the TWF, that was a great win over that piece of garbage King T my man". Rockwell: "Well thanks, coming from you, that means a lot". Hogan: "Well take it easy champ, I'll see ya around". HOGAN WALKS AWAY AND ROCKWELL AND LITA GO DOWN THE HALLWAY BUT THE CAMERAS PICK UP TRIPLE H PEEKING AROUND THE CORNER. "LATINO HEAT" HITS AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AND BOOS AS EDDIE AND CHAVO GUERRERO MAKE THEIR WAY OUT. J.R.: "We're back on RAW fans and we're ready for tag team action as the Guerrero family makes their way out". Lawler: "It's double the Latino heeeeeat"! CHURCH BELLS RING AND SAM WILDE's MUSIC NOW SUNG BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS CHOIR HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER, CARRYING A BIBLE. J.R.: "The unusual but recently successful team of Sam Wilde and Nemesis will face Guerrero tonight and.... Lawler: "Is that a bible he's carrying? This is wrestling J.R."! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE WORD REVENGE APPEARS IN FLAMES ON THE TWF TRON AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH HITS AND NEMESIS COMES OUT WEARING HIS BLACK TRENCH COAT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "I know it is but you can't fault the man for his beliefs". Lawler: "How could you call this man a success after the way he performed at When World's Collide J.R."? J.R.: "Nemesis gave it all he had folks but just came up a little short. I have no doubt that he will be in a position like that one some day again. But tonight, he's gotta co exist with a guy he seems unsure about against one of the best wrestling families in the history of our great business"! Eddie and Chavo Guerrero vs. Nemesis and Sam Wilde After sidestepping Chavo's sneak attack attempt, Nemesiss threw him out of the ring and he and Wilde then hit Eddie with a double backbody drop. Wilde then whipped him in and used a leapfrog and Nemesis drilled him with a big boot. Referee Chad Patton ordered Nemesis to the corner and as Wilde and Eddie exchanged words Chavo came from behind with a lowblow and Eddie knocked him down with a hard clothesline. He then stomped away at Wilde's chest before tagging in his nephew who came in and began working on Wilde's arm. Chavo had Wilde in a lot of pain as he applied a reverse armbar. But Wilde worked his way to a vertical base and caught Chavo with 2 quick jabs but as he came off the ropes, Chavo caught him with a knee to the gut. He then tagged in Eddie who hit the flying helo and the Guerrero's were cruising. Guerrero then planted him with his drop vertical suplex before making another tag. Eddie then went and took a cheap shot at Nemesis but Patton stopped him from getting in the ring. The Guerrero's used it as an oppurtunity to double team Wilde as Eddie held his head over the middle ring rope while Chavo stood on his back. Chavo then whipped him to the ropes and went for a big dropkick but Wilde held onto the ropes. On the opposite side of his corner, Wilde got up but so did Chavo. Chavo charged him but Wilde used a drop toehold right onto the bottom turnbuckle and then made the hot tag to Nemesis who came in with a head of steam. Eddie tried to cut him off at the pass but caught a big right hand. Nemesis then shot him to the corner and hit a big boot. Chavo came from behind with a shot to the back but Nemesis turned around and grabbed him by the throat, chokeslamming him to the mat. Wilde then came in and took Eddie out of the ring with a clothesline as Nemesis dropped Chavo with the "Shut Down" to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 14:16 J.R.: "You got any comments about his success now King? He just took that match into his own hands and got the win"! Lawler: "I gotta admit, that was impressive"! NEMESIS STARTS TO LEAVE THE RING BUT WILDE CALLS HIM BACK AND OFFERS HIM THE BIBLE. NEMESIS HESISTATES AND LOOKS INTO THE CROWD. AFTER A MOMENT, HE TAKES THE BIBLE AND THEY WALK UP THE RAMP AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" HITS. J.R.: "Maybe Nemesis is willing to give Sam Wilde's idea a try"! Lawler: "But what the heck is the idea J.R."? J.R.: "I don't have a clue King. But what I can tell you fans out there is that Bahamut is recovering from the injuries he suffered at When World's Collide after that hellacious fall through the cell". Lawler: "Oh yeah, that was hellacious". J.R.: "But it's not as bad as first thought. Doctors thought he had a severe concussion along with a seperated shoulder but after further review and some extensive medical tests, it was determined that the concussion was severe but instead of a seperated shoulder, he just has a deep contusion on it as well as two cracked ribs. But get this folks, he is scheduled to be here on RAW next week"! Lawler: "He's crazy"! PARKING LOT CAMERAS SHOW SCOTT HALL AND KEVIN NASH WALKING UP TO THE ARENA ENTRANCE. J.R.: "Oh boy, this can't be good"! Lawler: "It certainly isn't, not for New Japan"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... "STAND BACK....THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AFTER THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE HURRICANE's MUSIC HITS. THE SPOTLIGHT SPOTS HIM WALKING DOWN THE AISLE WEARING HIS SIGNATURE CAPE. J.R.: "Back on RAW and it's time for lightheavyweight action as only the TWF can do it"! "619" HITS AS REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE ENTRANCE AND HE GETS ONE OF THE LOUDEST CHEERS OF THE NIGHT. Lawler: "This looks like a match at the circus J.R.! Look at these two freaks"! J.R.: "Well they're anything but freaks. These two are both world class athletes who should put on a show tonight". The Hurricane vs. Rey Mysterio Rey tried to start things out quick but Hurricane got him in a side headlock after a collar and elbow tie up and took him over with it. But Rey escaped with a headscissors and then ducked a clothesline and caught Hurricane with a front dropkick. He waited for him to get up and then bounced off the ropes again but Hurricane caught him with a jumping clothesline. Rey got to his knees but Hurricane came out of nowhere with his grand wizard kick. He covered Rey and got 1....2...., but Rey just narrowly kicked out. Hurricane then threw him out of the ring and came at him with a baseball slide but Rey moved and rammed him face first into the ring apron. He then came off the ropes and used a body scissor into a bulldog takedown. Hurricane rolled out of the ring to regroup but Rey came flying over the ropes with a corkscrew suicide dive that nailed him. Rey then rolled him into the ring and went for a clothesline but Hurricane ducked and hit a quick neckbreaker. He then tried to come off the ropes with a blockbuster neckbreaker but Rey ducked and Hurricane landed hard on his back. Rey then straddled him over the middle ring rope and hit the 6-1-9 as the crowd erupted. Rey then pointed to the air and leaped to the top rope, hitting the "West Coast Pop" when Hurricane got to his feet to get the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 8:24 J.R.: "What a huge win for Rey Mysterio that was and..... wait a minute, what the hell"?! JUST THEN, MYSTERIO's CELEBRATION IS CUT SHORT WHEN SCOTT HALL AND KEVIN NASH ENTER THE RING AND ATTACK BOTH MEN. HALL DELIVERS THE "RAZOR's EDGE" TO HURRICANE AND AFTER PUMMELLING MYSTERIO, NASH DROPS HIM WITH THE JACKNIFE POWERBOMB. HALL THEN DEMANDS THE HOUSE MIC. Lawler: "I had a feeling something like this was gonna happen"! Scott Hall: "Hey yo! CROWD REPEATS BACK Big Kev's got somethin' to say". HALL HANDS NASH THE MIC. Kevin Nash: "Chono, Muta, we know you son of a bitches are back there and we're not leaving the arena until you face us like men tonight"! NASH THEN THROWS THE HOUSE MIC DOWN. J.R.: "I just don't know what to make of this folks. Hurricane and Mysterio, who were minding their own business, have been broken in half at the hands of the Outsiders"! Lawler: "They were in the way"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... CHUCK AND BILLY ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH TERRI GOLD WHEN MR. PERFECT AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COME UP. PERFECT IS CARRYING THE IC TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Mr. Perfect: (laughing) "Speaking of imperfections". CHUCK AND BILLY TURN AROUND. Billy Gunn: Can we help you"? Christopher Nowinski: "Yeah, we just wanted the kids watching at home and the students out there, even though they'll never go to Harvard, to see what not to be when they get older". Mr. Perfect: "Well, well, you guys". Chuck Palumbo: "And what's that supposed to mean"? Nowinski: "Think about it. You guys oil each other down before matches, you dress the same, you bought each other headbands with your names on them for gold sakes! We know what the deal is with you two". Chuck: "Hey, we're just good friends, that's it". Billy: "Are you trying to imply that we're gay"? Mr. Perfect: "No, well he didn't flat out say it but.... Billy: "But nothin'! We're not gay! If there's anyone in this company who gets a little too close for comfort, it's you and your protege here"! PERFECT GETS IN GUNN's FACE. Nowinski: "Hold on a second here. I figured these guys would act this way about it, ya know, deny it. Maybe they wanna settle this in the ring". Chuck: "Oh yeah we do, tonight"! Mr. Perfect: "Well, Chris and I can't do it tonight, we have plans". Nowinski: "Yeah, we have plans. (Nowinski and Perfect start to walk away) Next week on RAW, you two are on". CHUCK AND BILLY JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH GRINS ON THEIR FACES AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL.... COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE... WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC IS PLAYING AS RAW RETURNS AND HE IS IN THE RING. NEW MUSIC HITS FOR NAILS AND HE WALKS OUT TO A SHOWER OF BOOS GRASPING THE TOUGHMAN TITLE. J.R.: "Back on RAW folks and we are ready for what is sure to be a slobberknocker here for the Toughman title". Lawler: "Nails and Regal, two of the toughest I know of"! J.R.: "Two of the foulest moods I know of"! Lawler: "Well yeah, Nails was the one who suffered the fall at When World's Collide for the nWo and even though he won the King of the Ring, Regal's still looking for respect"! J.R.: "Well he's a tough man who grew up going to local shows in Blackpool, England and challenging anyone to a fight. If anyone can take that title away from Nails, it might be Regal". TWF Toughman Title Match Challenger... William Regal vs. Nails As the bell sounded, Regal tentatively approached his former nWo mate and used a collar and elbow tie up. After a standing swich, he took a hammerlock into a top wrist lock and took Nails down with a drop toe hold. Regal then buried some hard knees into the back of his head and hit him with some hard forearm shots when he got to his feet. Nails reversed an irish whip but Regal ducked a clothesline and Regal used a double underhook into a powerbomb when he put his head down too early. Regal held nothing back as he dug his elbow into the back of Nails' neck. Using a lot of standard mat wrestling, Regal looked for a submission, applying submission after submission. But the expression on Nails' face could not be seen through his mask and he worked his way up, driving some hard uppercuts into Regal's midsection before gouging his eyes. He then went and grabbed a steel chair but Regal avoided contact and caught Nails with a kick to the stomach. He then went for an irish whip but Nails put on the brakes and caught Regal with a headbutt that gave him a bloody nose. Nails then mounted Regal and hit him with a barrage of right hands before scoring with a ddt. For the last 15 seconds of the match, the two traded punches until the bell sounded, signaling 15 minutes had gone by. Nails slid out of the ring and grabbed his title and walked up the ramp. Lawler: "Ah let 'em keep going"! J.R.: "The fifteen minute rule has stopped this match and Nails has retained the title but not without a serious fight from Regal". THE CAMERAS SHOW REGAL IN THE RING, BLOOD POURING FROM ONE NOSTRIL, TELLING NAILS TO COME BACK. AN AD FOR TWF.COM IS SHOWN. A BELL TOLLS AND "DEAD MAN WALKING" IS HEARD AS THE UNDERTAKER MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE TO A MIXED REACTION. J.R.: "Off the heels of one of the most brutal matches I've ever witnessed, here comes the deadman"! Lawler: "And he's gonna address this crowd J.R.! This should be great"! Undertaker: "Ya know, time and time again, I tell these young kids in the back that I've made a livin' kickin' ass and makin' people famous. Well this one guy apparently didn't believe what I was sayin'. His name is Bahamut. CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. But after he fell twenty feet to the mat at When World's Collide, I bet he believed it. And when he comes back, which I highly doubt will be next week, if you ask him what he remembers about When World's Collide, he'll say I was made famous by The Undertaker. And that's what all the rest of these punks can look forward to from now on if they don't believe what I'm sayin'! Because starting now..... STRIFE's NEW THEME "GET OFF THE TRACKS" BY POD HITS AS STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Lawler: "What the.... J.R.: "Oh boy, business has just picked up folks"! Strife: "Listen Undertaker, it's not that we don't believe what you're sayin', it's that some of us have listened to it too damn long and now we're gonna do something about it! First off, you took my best friend and threw him through that cell. And now, now you're gonna come out here and brag about it? I don't think so! Ya see Undertaker, you always go around calling that ring your yard. Well the way I see it, you're on my tracks"! Lawler: "Oh boy, that did it"! Undertaker: "Your tracks huh? Well since you're the big bad locomotive, why don't you come run me over". STRIFE DROPS THE MIC AND STARTS WALKING DOWN THE RAMP AS THE UNDERTAKER PREPARES FOR A FIGHT. BUT SEVERAL REFEREES AND TWF OFFICIALS COME DOWN AND GET IN STRIFE's WAY, REFUSING TO LET HIM GO. J.R.: "Those officials aren't gonna let this happen"! Lawler: "Le t'em go"! J.R.: "Strife took exception to The Undertaker's comments about Bahamut but whether The Undertaker likes it or not, Bahamut will be here next week"! Lawler: "This situation could get really serious then"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... ALBERT's MUSIC HITS AND HE IS GREETED BY MANY BOOS. J.R.: "It will be the RAW debut for Albert and what a giant specimen this guy is". Lawler: "Well it was the first official trade since the roster split! PrimeTime got Carney and we got this guy"! JEFF HARDY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHEERS OF THE NIGHT. J.R.: "Well he's got no easy task in front of him as he will face Carney's old tag team partner Jeff Hardy"! Lawler: "Just look at the difference in size here J.R.! Albert's gonna squash Jeff and that's gonna start what I predict will be a successful career over on the better show, RAW"! Albert vs. Jeff Hardy Jeff tried to get an unfair advantage as he attacked Albert from behind before the bell rang. He worked the lower half of his body but after ducking a clothesline, Albert immediately clotheslined him in the back of the head with his other arm. In a tremendous display of power, he then hit a delayed double arm suplex which got a 2 count. Albert whipped him to the corner and charged in but Jeff moved and then hit a front jumping dropkick. He then tried to whip the big guy to the ropes but it was reversed and Albert blasted him with his jumping scissors kick. He then called for and hit the "Baldo Bomb" He made the lateral press and got 1.....2...., but Jeff stretched his leg out and got it on the bottom rope just in time to stop the count. Furious, Albert went for it again but Jeff blocked it with a double leg kick to the chest and then he hit a sit down jawbreaker. After a spinning wheel kick, Jeff went to the top rope and went for the "Swanton Bomb" but Albert rolled out of the way. He pulled Jeff up by his multi-colored hair and drove his massive shoulders into his gut in the corner. Albert then whipped him to the far side but Jeff jumped right onto the top turnbuckle and came off with the Whisper in the Wind on the unsuspecting Albert and even though it looked as though Albert kicked out just as referee Jim Korderas' hand hit the mat for a third time, Korderas called for the bell and gave Jeff the match. Match Time: 7:43 J.R.: "What a display of athletic ability that was by Jeff, my lord"! Lawler: "That's ridiculous referee, Albert kicked out"! J.R.: "It was a debateable call as you look at the replay but it will go down in the books as a win for Jeff Hardy". BACKSTAGE NEMESIS IS WALKING TOWARDS THE EXITS BACKSTAGE WHEN HIGH OCTANE APPROACHES. High Octane: "Oh look at this. Why are you leaving, gotta go read your bible"? Nemesis: "I don't have time for you right now punk". High Octane: "You never have time for anyone. You're a disgrace to the TWF. We could've had the GWF North American title if you weren't so damn clumsy". Nemesis: "Well if I was watching the same show, you could've given this company a title to if you didn't come up short, much like you usually do with Nidia". WITH THAT, HIGH OCTANE LOOKS AWAY AND THEN TAKES A CHEAP SHOT AT NEMESIS. A BRAWL ENSUES WITH BOTH MEN JOCKEYING FOR POSITION, LOOKING TO GET A GOOD SHOT IN WHEN ARENA SECURITY COMES OVER AND SEPERATES THE TWO MEN. NEMESIS IS LIKE AN ANIMAL AS HE GOES BACK AFTER HIGH OCTANE. IT TAKES 5 MEN TO FINALLY HOLD HIM BACK AND THEN HIGH OCTANE SPITS IN HIS FACE. SECURITY TAKES NEMESIS OUTSIDE THE ARENA AS HIGH OCTANE LAUGHS. "Too Hot" Scott Taylor vs. Austin Pyromania Pyromania tried to play to the crowd a little but Taylor took advantage by attacking him from behind. In a classic veteran versus rookie encounter, Taylor fed Pyromania a series of hard right hands before whipping him to the ropes and hitting a nice dropkick. Taylor then grabbed one of his legs but Pyromania came back with a reverse mule kick before hitting him with a powerslam. Taylor got up quickly but was put down again with a ddt that Pyromania stuck perfectly. Pyromania then went to the middle turnbuckle and hit a well placed flying elbow drop to get 1......2...., but Taylor just slid a shoulder up in time. Taylor then reversed an irish whip and knocked the rookie down with a hard knifedge. He then shot him to the far corner and charged in with a reverse splash. Taylor then bounced off the ropes as Pyromania staggered out of the corner looking for the two handed jumping facebuster but Pyromania recovered and scooped him up, scoring with the "PyroTechnics" to get the 1....2.....3. Match Time: 3:25 J.R.: "Holy cow, just like that it's over"! Lawler: "How'd he do that? Taylor was about to finish him off and then bam, he hit that move out of nowhere"! J.R.: "And these fans seem quite impressed King, what a win for the youngster". PYROMANIA WALKS UP THE RAMP SLAPPING HANDS WITH THE FANS AS RAW GOES TO BREAK. COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAW RETURNS, THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET WHEN RANDY ORTON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. J.R.: "Oh I like this kid! I knew his grandpa and his great father, Cowboy Bob and I love the fact we have him here on RAW"! Lawler: "Well he better be ready J.R., cause he's got his hands more than full tonight"! THE NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING MUSIC HITS AS MASA CHONO AND MUTA COME DOWN THE AISLE TOGETHER. J.R.: "You got that right King. I don't like the fact that Earl Hebner is allowing Chono out here cause I think Randy can give Muta a run for his money". Lawler: "Well we've had a night of surprises J.R.! Anything can happen here in the TWF but I don't think it will in this match"! Randy Orton vs. The Great Muta w/Masa Chono Orton used an arm drag out of a tie up and then caught Muta with a hard clothesline. After a hip toss, Orton yelled for Muta to get up and then he hit a high elevation back body drop. Orton went for an irish whip but Muta reversed it and went for a back footsweep which Orton jumped over. But Muta ducked an ensuing clothesline and kicked Orton right in the arm, a move that stabilized his attack and slowed down his offense. Muta then stomped on the arm repeatedlt before locking in a fujigatame armbar which forced Orton to get the ropes with his feet. After a couple knifedge chops reddened Orton's chest, Muta whipped him into the corner and hit his signature tumbling backflip elbow drop followed by a set savot kick. He went for the cover and got 1.....2...., but Orton showed a lot of heart in kicking out. However, it affected his arm even to do that. Muta made a gesture as if preparing for his mist but Orton got up and drilled him with a textbook dropkick, bringing the crowd out of their chairs. Orton then whipped him in and went for a clothesline but Muta ducked while at the same time locking in a full nelson which he turned into a gorgeous german suplex to get the 3 count. Match Time: 4:35 As Hebner raised Muta's arm, Chono pointed to Hall and Nash who came out of the crowd with an ambush attempt. Muta and Chono hurried up the ramp as Hall and Nash gave chase. J.R.: "Hall and Nash said they weren't leaving but I don't think Chono and Muta are gonna face them like men, they're running like scalded dogs"! Lawler: "Where are they going? Do we have cameras back there"? CAMERAS PICK UP THE ACTION, FOLLOWING CHONO AND MUTA WHEN TATSUMI FUJINAMI IS SHOWN IN THE PARKING LOT WAVING THEM ON. THEY ALL JUMP INTO THE BACK SEAT OF A BLACK HONDA ACCORD WITH TINTED WINDOWS AND CHROME RIMS AND IT SPEEDS OFF. HALL AND NASH EACH THROW SOMETHING AT THE CAR BUT MISS. HALL AND NASH ARE IRATE THAT THEY GOT AWAY. Lawler: "New Japan had a getaway vehicle waiting J.R."! J.R.: "Wait until Hall and Nash do get their hands on those two. I shudder to think what they'll do"! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS BUT SOME CHEERS CAN BE HEARD. Lawler: "It's time to play the game J.R."! J.R.: "Triple H is in street clothes so I don't know exactly what this is all about but it's obviously not to compete". Triple H: "Let's see, Strife on the last RAW went down! The immortal Hulk Hogan at When World's Collide, went down! Jordan Rockwell, you son of a bitch, you can't dodge me anymore! I've proven that I deserve a title shot, a title that I've never been given a rematch for and I want you to get your ass out here right now and tell me you're gonna give it to me"! J.R.: "Whoa, that's quite the demand". Lawler: "Let's go Rockwell"! the fans begin chanting rockwells name over and over
Then "Rockhard" by Ja Rule blares through the arena as Jordan Rockwell and Lita come out to a huge pop.
Jordan Rockwell: "Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, it really amazes me how you can come out here and turn a time for celebration into the Triple H show. I mean you honestly and truely amaze me. I mean, hell, call NASA and tell them they are wasting time on space shuttles. All they gotta do is climb your head and they can plug that whole in the ozone layer.
(the fans laugh)
Oh wait, from what I heard you know nothing about plugging holes. I guess that's why Stephanie divorced you in the first place". Lawler: "Oh boy, that was over the line".
(the crowd cheers as triple h gets upset)
Rockwell: "And you wanna come out here talking about a title shot? Well lemme tell you this if you wanna shot at the TWF title, I got two words for you, why wait"? J.R.: "They're gonna get it on right here"!
With that Rockwell drops the mic and the title and runs down the aisle and slides into the ring and he and Triple H get nose to nose. Triple H seems to be broiling with intensity of Rockwell has a look of determination in his eyes. Suddenly, Triple H takes a step back and Albert comes through the crowd and into the ring, attacking Rockwell from behind. Albert does a number on Rockwell, softening him up as Triple H hits the Pedigree! J.R.: "This was a damn set up"! J.R.: "Look, Triple H has the title"! TRIPLE H PICKS UP THE TWF TITLE AND TAKES A LONG LOOK AT IT BEFORE FLINGING IT ONTO THE CHEST OF THE FALLEN ROCKWELL. "THE GAME" THEN HITS AS LITA IS SHOWN WITH A HELPLESS LOOK ON HER FACE. J.R.: "The game has set Rockwell up with the help of his former New Breed member and sent a strong message to the champ"! OFF AIR....
