UPRISING TAPINGS THE SCENE CUTS INSIDE THE BRAND NEW TWF LIVEWIRE INN AS ABOUT 1800 FANS SIT AT TABLES WHICH OVERLOOK THE RING. AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN COME INTO VIEW INSIDE A BOOTH. THEY EACH HAVE A PLATE OF FOOD OF THE LIVEWIRE INN MENU. Al Snow: "Hello TWF fans and welcome to the new Uprising live from the new TWF Livewire INN! I'm Al Snow along with the Honky Tonk Man and Honky, what a novel idea by the TWF to create this restaurant". Honky Tonk Man: "Ya know, I actually agree with you. Right outside Madison Square Garden, we're gonna be here before every RAW and PrimeTime with all these idiots screaming and some great food! The only thing that would make this better is if it were in Memphis"! Snow: "No, the only thing that would make it better is if I did it alone. But anyway folks, on Uprising, you will get the chance to see TWF matches as well as special matches in wnich management may be wanting to take a look at a certain individual for a tryout or someone in one of the developmental organizations. And tonight, we'll see two mFw matches and we'll get our first look at female athlete Gail Kim". Honky Tonk Man: "How bout you stop yacking so we can get down to the action". mFw match: Jerry Lynn vs. Doug Basham This turned out to be a well contested contest as Basham dictated the pace. He nearly got the pin after hitting a unique flying legline. But Lynn retaliated with a missile dropkick followed by the cradle driver to get the victory. Malice vs. Sam Wilde Sam Wilde gave the big man fits, going after his lower extremities and using his speed to his advantage. But Wilde made a mistake when he went for the "Testament to Wilde" and couldn't get Malice up. As Wilde held his lower back in pain, Malice slapped a hand around his throat and delivered the big chokeslam for the win. Gail Kim vs. Molly Holly This was a 4 star quality match as Gail Kim, who's also been known as La Felina in other companies, showed she belongs in the ranks of the TWF women. Molly showed off her vast knowledge of wrestling ability but Kim kept up with her move for move. After dodging the "Molly go Round", she delivered a swinging suplex manuever to win it in 7:20 mFw match: Bill DeMott vs. Wrath In a battle of two powerhouses, Wrath caught DeMott with a flying clothesline off the top rope but when DeMott escaped the "Meltdown", he hit a devastating reverse ddt. That led to his top rope moonsault and a 1....2....3 victory. Nemesis vs. Chavo Guerrero In a classic mismatch, Nemesis dominated Chavo from the opening bell, but the gritty Chavo hung in all match. After escaping the grip of a chokeslam, Chavo caught Nemesis right on the kneecap with a dropkick and then used a schoolboy rollup, hooking the tights to get the win. After the match, Nemesis pointed to the big tv screen in the center of the restaurant, showing the referee what happened. But the non-TWF official refused to change his decision and Nemesis delivered a hard chokeslam. Al Snow: "Well my gosh, Nemesis has brought Uprising to an end in a frustrated fashion". Honky Tonk Man: "Ya know in my day, we would've been fined and suspended for doing that. You don't know how many referee's I wanted to wrap my guitar around". Snow: "Well folks, that's it from the TWF Livewire Inn. Next week, we will have more matches plus a special guest from each division"! THE SCENE CUTS OUT OF THE TWF LIVEWIRE INN AND THE BUILDUP TO RAW STARTS.
WAR IN THE WINTER's THEME PLAYS AS STILL PICTURES FROM THE WORLD TITLE MATCH ARE SHOWN, COMPLETE WITH COMMENTARY. J.R.: "And for the fifth time, The Undertaker is TWF World champion"!
THE SCENE CUTS STRAIGHT TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE AN ANGRY LOOKING CIVIL RIGHTS GROUP, LED BY TEDDY LONG ARRIVES. THEY ENTER THE ARENA AND TEDDY LONG GETS IN THE FACE OF ONE OF THE STAGEHANDS. Teddy Long: "Do you know who we are boy? I demand respect and when I walk in, you say how are you doing sir". Backstage: "Okay, my apology". Long: "I won't tolerate this crap anymore. Stephanie McMahon has given the first world title shot to William Regal. That's the kind of disrespect I'm talking about. My people have suffered long enough, don't you think"? LONG AND THE REST OF CIVIL RIGHTS WALK AWAY. RAW's MONTAGE VIDEO POPS UP SHOWING ALL THE STARS OF RAW AS "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS. THE BOISTEROUS ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AS FIREWORKS KICK THINGS OFF. Jim Ross: "We have traveled down to New Mexico and we are live for RAW! It was a truly memorable night at War in the Winter fans as the deadman proved he can still climb to the top of the mountain"! Jerry Lawler: "Well it wasn't a memorable night for Civil Rights and I think they'll be addressing that tonight as Teddy Long already said he won't take any more disrespect"! RANDY ORTON AND JOHN CENA's MUSIC HIT AND THEY COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "Well I still don't see Teddy Long's logic. If he's not being discriminated against, he's being disrespected yet he's the only one who seems to see it. But I'm also being told that Mr. Perfect and Christopher Nowinski have set up an advice stand outside the arena. What the hell is that about"? Lawler: "They're giving fans here in Las Cruces advice about becoming a wrestler and not just any wrestler, the best wrestler they can be. How can you beat getting advice from a Hardvard graduate and Mr. Perfect"? "BALLAD OF A DEAD SOULJA" BY 2PAC HITS AS JACKIE GAYDA LEADS MATT TAYLOR AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "Oh I could think of some ways. But these two men fell in their quest to become tag team champions at War in the Winter but a win here could get them right back into the thick of things". Lawler: "Well I hope they're prepared for this team of Orton and Cena. They've really gelled together well in the last several weeks". Austin Pyromania and Matt "Koo Bear" Taylor w/Jackie Gayda vs. Randy Orton and John Cena As the bell sounded to start the match, Pyromania locked up with Cena. After a struggle in the collar and elbow tie up, Pyromania delivered a fireman's carry but Cena ducked a clothesline and delivered a big dropkick. He then whipped Pyromania to the rope but he made a blind tag. Pyromania ducked a clothesline and Taylor grabbed Cena from behind and delivered a back body drop. Taylor tthen hit a big legdrop before tagging back to Pyromania. Taylor twisted Cena's arm back as Pyromania came off the middle turnbuckle with a forearm to the elbow joint. After a few right hands, Pyromania hooked Cena up for a suplex but Cena blocked it and delivered one of his own. Cena was then able to tag Orton who came in and kept the pressure on Pyromania, delivering a wicked modified backbreaker before hitting what is becoming the best dropkick around. After several shots to the midsection, Orton hit a big powerslam off the irish whip and hooked the leg for a 1.....2....., but Pyromania was able to get a shoulder off the mat. The crowd started to rally behind Pyromania as Orton went to the top rope, looking for his beautiful cross body block. But Pyromania got in a dropkick right to the gut as he came off. Pyromania then made it to his corner and tagged in Taylor who came in on fire. After tagging Orton with 2 solid right hands, he hit Cena with a backbody drop and then caught Orton with a tilt-a-whirl slam. Taylor went for the coverr but when Cena broke it up, Pyromania got back in it. After bith Taylor and Pyromania hit clotheslines, Pyromania went upstairs but Cena dove into the ring ropes and Pyromania came down awkwardly on his ankle. Pyromania immediately grabbed the ankle in pain as Taylor came over to check on his partner. But Orton and Cena positioned themselves and when Taylor turned around, they hit him with a double flapjack. That led to the "O-Zone" by Orton and a 3 count. Match Time: 9:15 Lawler: "Take a good look at this team J.R., they are coming into their own"! J.R.: "Well King, Pyromania is hurt". AS ORTON AND CENA WALKED UP THE RAMP, JACKIE GAYDA AND MATT TAYLOR CLAMMORED AROUND A FEW EMT's TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE FANS LET OUT A COLLECTIVE PAUSE AS PYROMANIA WAS HELPED OFF BY GAYDA AND TAYLOR. Lawler: "What happened"? J.R.: "Well it looked like he landed wrong on his ankle and he's still wincing in pain, let's hope he's okay". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... SHELTON BENJAMIN IS WALKING BACKSTAGE WHEN HE IS APPROACHED BY HIS COUSIN, KEVIN SLEDGE. Kevin Sledge: "Hey cuz, I'm proud of you". Shelton Benjamin: "For what"? Sledge: "For not getting involved in the World title match at War in the Winter, like the rest of your group did". Benjamin: "Well Teddy asked me to stay back". Sledge: "Listen man, you're my family so I gotta watch your back. I think it's time you leave those guys, they ain't helping you". Benjamin: "Oh their not? What was I doing before that? Wrestling nobodies every now and then. This was my chance man and I took it". Sledge: "Well I can understand some of that. But do you believe what Teddy Long is preaching"? Benjamin: "I don't know. But I gotta get back to the dressing room, Teddy's got another speech for us". BENJAMIN WALKS AWAY AND SLEDGE LETS OUT A SIGH AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... DON'T MISS THE 3RD ANNUAL TWF AWARDS SHOW! LIVE JANUARY 12, 2003 FROM THE BRAND NEW TWF LIVEWIRE INN! RETURN FROM BREAK.... CIVIL RIGHTS' DRESSING ROOM.... Ron Simmons: "I can't believe it Teddy, I've kicked Regal's ass before, yet he gets the shot at The Undertaker". Teddy Long: "Don't worry Ron, I got some ring time scheduled for us later and you have a gauranteed rematch and we're gonna use it wisely. But right now, I got something to tell Shelton. Shelton, if you're cousin doesn't quit trying to cause problems, he might not be in the TWF too long". Shelton Benjamin: "There ain't nothing to worry about". Long: "Good, so don't be upset when D'Lo kicks his ass in a few minutes". TEDDY LONG AND D'LO GET UP AND LEAVE THE ROOM. OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA... NAILS IS IN A REMOTE PART OF THE BUILDING WHEN TWF OFFICIAL TONY GAREA COMES UP AND HANDS HIM A NOTE. Nails: "What the hell is this"? Tony Garea: "I don't know, I was just told to give it to you". NAILS OPENS THE FOLDED PIECE OF PAPER AND READS THE MESSAGE. HE THEN CRUMBLES IT UP SECONDS LATER. Nails: "This reign of darkness crap has gotta stop". THE SCENE THEN SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE A HIP HOP TUNE HITS AND KEVIN SLEDGE COMES OUT. J.R.: "Well it's time for the in ring debut of the man who calls himself the Sledge Hammer and it appears he's not real fond of Civil Rights King". Lawler: "Well that's Sledge Hamma J.R. and you're right, but like Teddy Long just said, if he doesn't stop meddling is their business, he won't be here long". THE CIVIL RIGHTS LOGO APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND THEIR THEME HITS AS TEDDY LONG, WEARING A BLACK TRENCH COAT AND A BLACK BERET, LEADS D'LO BROWN TO THE RING. J.R.: "They are quickly becoming the most hated men in the TWF and Sledge isn't the only want who wants them disbanded". Lawler: "Well you gotta admit one thing J.R., Teddy Long has these guys as focused as they've been in their lives"! J.R.: "Perhaps, but he's also filling their heads with false information in a lot of people's minds". Kevin "Sledge Hamma" Sledge vs. D'Lo Brown w/Teddy Long Shortly into the match, Sledge took control by throwing some hard right hands, knocking D'Lo back. But D'Lo reversed an irish whip and hit Sledge with a calf kick. After a hard clothesline, he whipped him to the corner and followed in but Sledge got an elbow in and dropped D'Lo with a clothesline. Sledge then opened things up, combining street fighting tactics with his wrestling knowledge to overwhelm D'Lo. After Sledge hit a nice spinebuster, Long jumped up on the apron but Sledge turned and grabbed him by the collar. He was about to him him with a right hand to the delight of the crowd when D'Lo came from behind with a running knee to the back. Sledge turned a threw a haymaker but D'Lo ducked and delivered the "Sky High" to get the win. Match Time: 3:33 J.R.: "So with the help of that no good Teddy Long, D'Lo Brown has emerged victorious and Kevin Sledge has lost the first battle with Civil Rights". Lawler: "Of course he lost, Teddy Long has got these guys on the right track to stardom"! BUT TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, D'LO DELIVERED HIS PATENTED SHAKY, SHAKY LEGDROP BEFORE REFEREE JACK DOAN FORCED HIM TO LEAVE. J.R.: "Now that's just uncalled for! Get them outta here"! Lawler: "See what happens when you mess with Civil Rights J.R."! OUTSIDE THE ARENA.... CAMERAS SHOW A MAKESHIFT STAND SITTING NEAR THE ARENA ENTRANCE. MR. PERFECT AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI ARE SITTING THERE WITH THEIR TAG TEAM BELTS ON THE TABLE. THERE IS A SIGN THAT SAYS ADVICE ON THE TOP. TWO YOUNG MALES APPROACH THE STAND. Fan #1: "Alright, it's the tag team champs". HE GOES TO TOUCH THE TAG TEAM BELTS. Christopher Nowinski: "Ah, don't touch kid". Fan #2: "Well, we heard you guys were giving wrestling advice and my friend here and I know that the TWF is the number one wrestling company on Earth. How would we go about getting in"? Mr. Perfect: "Well first, you need to get through puberty". Nowinski: "Yeah, and a Harvard degree doesn't hurt either. Say, are either one of you guys the captain of your football team? Wait, what am I thinking, look at these two pansies". Fan #1: "Yeah, actually I am. I play quarterback". Nowinski: "Well I used to eat quarterbacks for lunch at Harvard". Mr. Perfect: "Ya know, I've seen more promise out of a couple chimpanzees, get lost". THE 2 FANS WALK AWAY AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO THE ANNOUNCE POSITION. JACKIE GAYDA's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A DECENT REACTION. J.R.: "What kind of advice was that? That was deplorable"! Lawler: "What would you say if two punk kids approached you like that J.R."? THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND BLACK SMOKE POURS FROM THE CEILING AROUND THE RAW SET AS "BLACK RAIN" BY EVE HITS AND AKASHA COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST. J.R.: "Well, if I set up a damn announce booth, that's what I'd give is advice, not spew crap out of my mouth like they just did. We can't be proud of our tag team champs and I gotta say the same for this jezebel"! Lawler: "Oh J.R., I never thought I'd say this but I'm starting to dig Akasha"! J.R.: "Well this will be the oppurtunity of a lifetime for Jackie Gayda who has to be on an emotional roller coaster right now with what happened to her boyfriend Austin Pyromania earlier tonight". TWF Women's Title Match Challenger... Jackie Gayda vs. Akasha As the bell sounded, Jackie tried to lock up with the very physical Women's champ but was thrown to the mat. Akasha then followed up with some rough forearm shots to the jaw before clubbing her across the back with a hard shot. Akasha then whipped her into the ropes but Jackie uses a grapevine to nearly pin Akasha. Akasha gets up looking for a clothesline but Jackie ducks and hits a nice hurracanrana to get the 1....2..., but Akasha powered out. Jackie then came off the middle turnbuckle with a cross body block and got another 2 count. She stayed on the attack until Akasha caught her charging in with a right hand. Akasha then delivered a big piledriver and hooked the leg but Jackie kicked out at 2. Akasha then charged her challenger but Jackie pulled off a low bridge with the top rope and sent Akasha sailing to the floor. As referee Jimmy Korderas backed Jackie away from the ropes, Lita came running out to a huge ovation and attacked Akasha. The two fought all the way up the ramp before Lita flung her backstage. Cameras followed the action as the two continued the struggle. Finally, members of security were able to pull the two women apart. But as Akasha brushed her hair back and took her title from Korderas, Nails approached her". Nails: "Ya know, I'm sick of this crap bitch! I don't need notes like that to get my attention! If you..... Akasha: "Wait, wait, wait, what note? If I wanted your attention, I'd get in your face and get it". AKASHA WALKS AWAY. Lawler: "What is going on J.R."? J.R.: "I don't know, somebody is playing games with Nails but what a fight between Lita and Akasha, no doubt due to what Akasha did after their match at War in the Winter. I just feel bad for Jackie who was on a hell of a roll". Lawler: "Lita may have gotten the best of the Angel with black wings tonight, but she'll pay for it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... OUTSIDE THE ARENA.... THE CROWD INSIDE GOES WILD WHEN THEY SEE THE UNDERTAKER PULL UP ON HIS MOTORCYCLE. J.R.: "There he is folks, the brand new World champion and he's got a tough fight in store later tonight. THE SCENE CUTS TO PERFECT AND NOWINSKI's ADVICE STAND. Oh great, not these jackasses again". A FEMALE FAN, APPROXIMATELY 20-25 YEARS OLD APPROACHES. Female fan: "Hey guys, I heard you were giving advice tonight and I was wondering if you could tell me how I can become the next TWF diva". Perfect: "Well before you talk to us, it looks like you need to talk with Jenny Craig". Nowinski: "And have you ever seen that one commercial, ya know, oxycute 'em"? Female fan: "Uh, forget it. No wonder no one likes you guys". BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, SPAWN's MUSIC HITS AND HE SLOWLY WALKS OUT, HIS GREENISH EYES PEERING THROUGH HIS BLACK MASK. J.R.: "What kind of crap are those two trying to pull? Folks, you are looking at a living, breathing monster and many have said he hasn't really been tested yet, but he will tonight". Lawler: "Well we can confirm to you all that Spawn will be a part of this year's Royal Rumble match, who's gonna throw this guy out J.R."? SABU's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET. BUT HE DOESN'T APPEAR ON THE RAMP. Lawler: "What the... where is he J.R.? Is he scared"? SUDDENLY, SABU APPEARS ON THE APRON BEHIND SPAWN AFTER COMING THROUGH THE CROWD. J.R.: "Oh look out... he's behind him"! SABU COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK AND THE BELL SOUNDS. Sabu vs. Spawn The missile dropkick didn't knock Spawn off his feet but Sabu didn't stop there, hitting him with a spinwheel kick and then a back footsweep. Sabu then came off the middle tunrbuckle with a facebuster and covered Spawn. But after two, Spawn kicked out, sending Sabu over referee Tim White. Sabu came bouncing off the ropes but was nearly beheaded by a clothesline. That led to a big powerbomb and Spawn made a nonchalant cover but Sabu kicked out after 2. Spawn whipped him into the ropes but Sabu ducked a clothesline and hit him with a flying forearm. He then came off the middle ropes with a springboard kick right to the head. Sabu then went for an irish whip but Spawn reversed it and hit him with a big spear. Spawn then picked up Sabu by his hair and delivered the "Spawn Driver", a devastating move to get the 3 count. Match Time: 5:35 Lawler: "Oh my god what a move? Is he still alive"? J.R.: "This man is as dangerous as any I've ever seen. No one knows where he came from or where Akasha found him but I don't know who can stop him". BACKSTAGE.... AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS HAVING HIS ANKLE TAPED BY THE TRAINER AS JACKIE GAYDA AND MATT TAYLOR LOOK ON. Austin Pyromania: "So how bad is it doc"? Trainer: "Well it's not as bad as I first thought, but it's still a mild sprain. You shouldn't compete for three weeks". Jackie Gayda: "It's not that bad baby, just go back home and get some rest and maybe you'll be back in time for the Royal Rumble". Matt Taylor: "Yeah man, I'll take care of business around here for us". THE TWO KNOCK FISTS AS JACKIE SMILES. BACK TO RINGSIDE, THE CIVIL RIGHTS LOGO APPEARS AGAIN AND THEIR THEME HITS AS TEDDY LONG LEADS ALL 4 OF HIS MEN DOWN THE AISLE. THEY ARE LOUDLY BOOED. J.R.: "What the hell is this? Haven't we had enough of these guys tonight"? Lawler: "This is that ring time Teddy talked about! What's he got to say"? J.R.: "Do we have to listen"? Teddy Long: "Stephanie McMahon, apparently I haven't taught you a lesson with what I have the power to do. But I'll get to that in a minute. Kevin Sledge, tonight you learned what happens when you mess with us. See we as black men, expect your actions from people who aren't like us. But we don't expect it from someone like you. You are a disgrace to your people and to your family. You see, your cousin Shelton has seen the light. He wants to be a successful person in life, like Malcolm X and Colin Powell and he will. Now Stephanie, I realize you don't like us, but that doesn't mean you bypass brother Simmons for his mandatory title rematch, for a white man. I was discriminated against when this company fired me and I won't have it happen again. So Stephanie, if you want me to get Clarence Mason down here again, try me". JUST THEN, "I'M ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND STEPHANIE COMES OUT TO A MODERATE CHEER. Lawler: "Oh boy". J.R.: "Business is picking up folks, here comes our owner"! Stephanie McMahon: "Ya know Teddy, I fell for that once, but I won't do it again. Ya see, I have my own battalion of attorneys now so unless you have pretty good reason, shut the hell up with your lawsuit threats! Now, onto Ron Simmons. You're right, he does have a mandatory World title rematch and even though me giving William Regal a shit tonight has nothing to do with the fact that he is white, I plan on giving Simmons what he is owed. However, it will be when I say so. And I say, that Ron Simmons faces The Undertaker at this year's Royal Rumble"! J.R.: "Oh yeah, I'm sure The Undertaker doesn't mind"! Long: "Ya know Steph, that's fine with us, cause all that does is give brother Simmons more time to prepare. And how bout this, I gaurantee brother Simmons will regain the World title". Stephanie: "Well that's fine Teddy. But when a McMahon gaurantees something, it generally comes true. Now I know you have a manager's license and there's nothing I can do about you. But I gaurantee, that if any of Civil Rights interferes in that match, you'll all be fired"! "I'M ALL GROWN UP" PLAYS AGAIN AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER. STEPHANIE WALKS AWAY AS THE ANGERED CIVIL RIGHTS GROUP IS SHOWN IN THE RING. Lawler: "She can't do that, that's discrimination"! J.R.: "Oh gimme a break King! She can do whatever she wants, she owns this division"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A SHADOWY FIGURE IS SHOWN SITTING IN A DARK ROOM. CIGARETTE SMOKE FILLS THE ROOM. Voice: "So I wasn't tough enough? So I wasn't anything without that stupid group? I grew up on the streets, I don't need anyone to have my back. When I get back, someone has to pay and they will. Oh trust me, they will". ZEROEX COMING SOON TO RAW! RETURN FROM BREAK.... J.R.: "We're back folks and the participants are already in the ring for a fatal four way elimination match. The winner of this earns a tag team title shot for his team". Fatal 4 way Elimination Shelton Benjamin vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Billy Gunn vs. Eddie Guerrero As the bell sounded, Eddie and Gunn took some hard shots as one another as Dreamer and Benjamin went at it. Gunn and Dreamer had their opponents in opposite corners and they went to whip them into each other but Benjamin reversed it and sent Dreamer into Guerrero. As Guerrero staggered back, Benjamin hit "It's all about the Benjamin's" to put him out. Billy Gunn then knocked Dreamer out of the ring with a dropkick and Dreamer went hard into the barricade. Benjamin then came from behind with a belly to back suplex and began to work Gunn over with his amatuer background. But Gunn was able to work his way back up and when Shelton threw a kick at him, he caught his leg. Benjamin tried to hit his reverse kick to the head but Gunn ducked, kicked him in the stomach and delivered the "Fame-Asser" to get the pin. That left Gunn and Dreamer and they went at it fiercely, both man wanting to earn the tag title shot. But after hitting a jackhammer, Gunn called for the "Fame-Asser". But as he came in, Dreamer dove at his knee with a shoulder block, upendind him. Gunn grabbed his knee in pain as Dreamer hoisted him up and delivered the "Dreamer Driver" for the 1....2....3. But after the match, Dreamer waived for the EMT's as his tag team partner Chuck Palumbo also came out. Match Time: 14:12 J.R.: "Tommy Dreamer has won this match King but this has been a bad night for injuries". Lawler: "It sure has. Billy's hurt bad". EMT's LOADED GUNN ONTO A GURNEY AS THE CROWD CAME TO THE FEET IN OVATION. DREAMER AND PALUMBO HELPED CARRY THE GURNEY UP THE RAMP AS GUNN STUCK 1 FINGER IN THE AIR. J.R.: "Well let's hope Billy is okay. He's one of the best tag team wrestler's ever and you hate to see something like this". OUTSIDE THE ARENA... MR. PERFECT AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI's ADVICE STAND COMES INTO VIEW AGAIN. NOWINSKI COMES FROM INSIDE THE ARENA. Nowinski: "Dreamer won it, so we get to beat up on those punks again". JUST THEN, SHAWN STASIAK APPROACHES. Shawn Stasiak: "Hey guys". Mr. Perfect: "What the.... Nowinski: "Look man, the fashion police came by and said if they see you, you're going to jail for that hairdo". Stasiak: "Yeah, yeah. Listen, I know you guys are trying to be funny and all, but I have a great idea. I was thinking I join you guys as a consultant and I could teach you all the things you don't know and you'll be champs forever". Perfect: "You teach us? Please". Nowinski: "Are you kidding? I'd rather have those two pizza faced chumps that were out here earlier as consultants. Get out of here". Stasiak: "Alright fine". STASIAK WALKS AWAY AS PERFECT LOOKS AT NOWINSKI AND THE TWO START LAUGHING. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HOARD OF BOOS. J.R.: "Well some things never change King. This guy is still one of the most hated wrestlers around". Lawler: "Well something might change J.R., he could be world champ in a few minutes". "YOU'RE GONNA PAY" HITS AND THE CROWD COMES ALIVE AND GOES NUTS AS THE UNDERTAKER COMES OUT CARRYING THE TWF WORLD TITLE. J.R.: "Well I have a feeling this man will have something to say about that"! Lawler: "Regal could change the course of the Royal Rumble and make it him versus Ron Simmons"! J.R.: "Well the deadman's not gonna be easy to beat King, I can assure you of that"! TWF World Title Match Challenger.... William Regal vs. The Undertaker As the bell sounded, the two men locked up and Undertaker shoved Regal to the ropes. He then charged in but Regal ducked a clothesline and reverted to his gameplan, attacking the legs of the champ. After several kicks to the Undertaker's calfs, Regal began to work on the lower back with some hard forearms. Undertaker got in a right hand when he could but Regal had a good gameplan. After a drop toe hold, Regal even locked in the "Regal Stretch" but The Undertaker was able to make it to the ropes. Frustrated, Regal pulled him up and gave him a double knee to the head. He whipped him into the ropes but Undertaker ducked a clothesline and caught Regal with a flying clothesline of his own. He was then relentless with his soup bone right hands, pummelling the challenger. But in going for a running boot, Undertaker took out referee Chad Patton when Regal ducked. The Undertaker was able to deliver his big chokeslam when A-Train came running out with a chair. But The Undertaker kicked it right into his face when he got into the ring. As the crowd aided him on, Undertaker grabbed the chair and jammed it into Regal's ribs. Patton slowly got up as Undertaker pulled Regal in and delivered the "Last Ride" to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 7:32 J.R.: "The Undertaker has retained the gold in impressive fashion"! Lawler: "Hiw can you call that impressive J.R.? He cheated"! J.R.: "It also became a two on one situation"! Lawler: "Well that won't work against Ron Simmons, Teddy Long will see to that"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... JACKIE GAYDA AND MATT TAYLOR ARE GETTING THEIR STUFF READY TO LEAVE THE ARENA WHEN THEY BUMP INTO EACH OTHER. Jackie Gayda: "Oops, sorry Matt". Matt Taylor: "No problem". THE 2 LOOK LONG INTO EACH OTHER's EYES AS RAW CUTS TO COMMERCIAL..... COMMERCIAL BREAK..... RETURN FROM BREAK... AS RAW RETURNS, THE 6 MAN TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT WAS IN PROGRESS. J.R.: "Welcome back to RAW folks. While we were away, this one broke out during Triple H's entrance, take a look"! REPLAYS ARE SHOWN OF TRIPLE H WALKING DOWN THE RAMP AND BEING ATTACKED BY KEVIN NASH. HIGH OCTANE AND STRIFE THEN RAN OUT AND THE FIGHT WAS ON. 6 man tag Triple H, Scott Steiner and Bahamut vs. Kevin Nash, Strife and "High Octane" Damion West w/Nidia Referee Earl Hebner was able to restore some order and High Octane sqaured off with Bahamut. Bahamut seemed to muscle High Octane around, prompting High Octane to tag in Strife. But when he did, Bahamut made the switch to Steiner. Steiner and Strife locked horns and it was the locomotive who threw the genetic freak to the mat. Strife then drilled him with a clothesline and after another one, said "get your ass in here" to Bahamut. But Steiner came from behind with a chop block. He and Triple H then double teamed Strife. After a big Steiner Line, Triple H dropped a knee on him to get a near fall. But Strife nailed both men with a double clothesline off an irish whip before tagging in Big Sexy. Nash came in and cleaned house, drilling Steiner with a big boot before pounding Triple H in the corner with some right hands. All 6 men were in the ring moments later as Strife brought Bahamut in the hard way, over the ropes. Strife unloaded some hard right hands on Bahamut but after Steiner hit High Octane with a belly to belly suplex, Steiner hit Strife with a shot to the back of the head from behind. Strife then fell over the middle rope as Bahamut slid out of the ring. Nash hit Triple H with a hard sideslam and had a 3 count but the referee was occupied with Steiner as Bahamut took a steel chair and bashed it over Strife's head. Steiner then took Nash out from behind as Triple H slowly got up and kicked the groggy Strife in the gut before delivering the Pedigree to get the 1......2.....3. Match Time: 12:47 J.R.: "Ah for god sake! Strife wasn't even the legal man"! Lawler: "Well Hebner thought he was and those three men are victorious"! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS TRIPLE H, STEINER AND BAHAMUT WALKED UP THE RAMP. IN THE RING, NASH AND HIGH OCTANE CHECKED ON STRIFE. J.R.: "Hebner just lost control in this one! But there will be a day when Triple H, Steiner and Bahamut all have to pay the piper"! OFF AIR......
