J.R.: "In addition to that, we will see Anaracy, Inc. who is comprised of Nails and ZeroEx take on the deadman and the bizarre
Goldust! All that plus we will get you ready for what I know will be a huge pay-per-view event in Evil Intentions"!

gonna come half circle tonight because this match will determine who enters that gauntlet match second to last"! J.R.: "Spawn will be the last entrant in that gauntlet
match and these three are gonna battle for the second most important slot, let's just hope they leave something for Evil Intentions"!
Triple Threat/Toughman rules Austin Pyromania w/ Terri vs. Psymin vs. Sabu *Winner enters toughman gauntlet at Evil Intentions second to last
As the bell sounded, the three men were very tentative about throwing any shots but after a quick glance at one another, Pyromania
and Sabu each threw a dropkick at Psymin. They then put him down with a snap suplex but Sabu turned and threw a knifedge chop at Pyromania. But after ducking a clothesline, Pyromania caught him with a jumping enziguri but Psymin got up and ran through him with a clothesline. After sticking Sabu with a piledriver, Psymin went out and grabbed a steel chair
and brought it in. But before he could do anything, Pyromania and Sabu caught him with a double facebuster. Sabu then hit a split legged moonsault and grabbed the chair but when he
raised it, Pyromania kicked it right in his face. Pyromania then asked Terri for Psymin's bamboo stick and he got it. But Psymin came up from behind and cracked him with the chair. He then
locked in a very unique and painful looking submission hold and when referee Jack Doan got no response, he called for the bell, awarding the match to Psymin. Match Time: 6:48
J.R.: "Pyromania is out folks and Psymin has received the second to last entry in the toughman gauntlet match"! Lawler: "But let's get serious J.R., can anyone really beat Spawn"?

Genius: "So, did you like the plan"? Grenier: "We must say, we are happy to see that not all Americans are ignorant, we are happy that you and he are a part of RAW". Dupree: "We like the idea and we'd be glad to lend a helping hand tonight". GRENIER AND DUPREE WALK AWAY, LEAVING THE GENIUS WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Lawler: "The French helping America"? J.R.: "Helping with what"? COMMERCIAL BREAK.... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE ITALIAN JOB IS

IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WHEN SCOTT STEINER ENTERS. Scott Steiner: "Hey Trips". Triple H: "What's up Scott"? Steiner:
"Listen man, I know we lost to Palumbo and Stasiak a couple weeks ago, but I know we can beat 'em. You only have one choice for a partner
Hunter, me. You and I made RAW our personal stomping grounds, so let's go get those RAW tag belts together". Triple H: "Tell ya what man,
you go take care of business in that six man tonight and we'll see what happens". Steiner: "Alright man, catch up with ya later".
THE SCENE CUTS TO THE RING WHERE TOMMY DREAMER IS STANDING WITH A MICROPHONE. Lawler: "What is Tommy Dreamer doing out here J.R."? Tommy Dreamer: "Last week, Bahamut tried to make me out to be some kind of punk! Well those of you who've watched me over the years know
Tommy Dreamer is no punk"! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. J.R.: "That's for sure"! Dreamer: "So Bahamut, you wanna throw a cheap shot at me? To me,
that means war! So if you can throw a cheap shot, you can sure as hell bring your ass out here and face me like a man"! Lawler: "Oh boy". "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE. Bahamut: (laughing) "That's funny. Tommy Dreamer wants to face the legend huh? Well Dreamer, I'm not gonna give all these pathetic people what they want and go down there and fight you, but what I will do is face you in that ring later tonight, after I get a chance to get into my gear and everything. So Dreamer, what do ya say"? Dreamer: (smiling) "You're on"! DREAMER's MUSIC HITS AND HE RAISES A CLINCHED FIST IN THE AIR AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. J.R.: "It's gonna happen folks, Bahamut versus the innovator of violence... tonight"! BACKSTAGE... DRESSING ROOM.... NATHAN JONES IS SHOWN IN A DIM LIT ROOM MEDITATING
WHEN A-TRAIN ENTERS. A-Train: "Nathan, you ready for our match"? Nathan Jones: "I'm getting there, yes". A-Train: "Listen big man, this is our chance to take these two out, a chance for me to soften
Strife up before I take the World title off of him at Evil Intentions". Jones: "That's fine, just make sure you leave Nash for me". BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE ANARCHY, INC. LOGO APPEARS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING
AND "HELLS GAURDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AS NAILS AND ZEROEX COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "We are all set for one of our big tag team matches tonight and King, we know Nails will face The Undertaker at Evil Intentions but you know they'll focus on taking him out here tonight"! Lawler: "Nails has been waiting for a big match like this for a long time now and with ZeroEx on the same page, I think the odds are stacked against The Undertaker"! 24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND GOLD PYRO SPRAYS OUT FROM THE TOP OF THE SET AS GOLDUST COMES OUT. J.R.: "And here comes the bizarre one, the man who used to be aligned with Nails"! Goldust: "You two say Anarchy Inc. is the answer to all of your problems but do you even know what your problems are? Nails, you and I had chemistry, we would've taken out everyone in time, but you've decided to join forces with a man
who's claim to fame is that he's a world kickboxing champion. Nails, ZeroEx has never been on the silver screen, he doesn't have the Hollywood appeal as I and he definitely doesn't play head games the way myself and the man standing behind you do". THE CROWD ERUPTS WHEN NAILS AND ZEROEX TURN AROUND TO SEE THE UNDERTAKER STANDING BEHIND THEM. J.R.: "Where'd the Undertaker come from"?! The Undertaker and Goldust
vs. Anarchy, Inc. The Undertaker kicked Nails right in the head and then hit ZeroEx with a round of soup bone right hands after ducking a clothesline. Goldust got into the match and wore Nails out with some stinging right hands as The Undertaker dropped ZeroEx on the top turnpad with the snake eyes. But after Nails lowblowed Goldust, he caught The Undertaker with a shot from behind. He followed that with some stiff right hands before kicking him in the midsection a few times. He tagged ZeroEx in and he went to the legs of the deadman with some quick kicks. After knocking The Undertaker to his knees, he bounced off the ropes and caught him with a dropkick to the chest. He tagged in Nails who delivered 2 hard headbutts before twisting his arm back. The Undertaker fought through the pain with 2 hard rights before lifting Nails high into the air with an armbar. He then dropped him to the mat but before he could make the tag, ZeroEx came in with a chop block. After a hard ddt, Nails tagged in ZeroEx and both men went to work on The Undertaker until referee Charles Robinson seperated them. But as Robinson forced Nails to his corner, Goldust snuck in and kicked ZeroEx in the groin from behind. That led to a big chokeslam as The Undertaker made the cover to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 6:28 "YOU'RE GONNA PAY" HIT AS THE UNDERTAKER AND GOLDUST LEFT TO A BIG POP. Lawler: "Come on ref, that's a DQ"! J.R.: "The referee didn't see a thing King and to steal one out of your book, a win's a win"!
Lawler: "The Undertaker's not out of the woods yet! He's still gotta face Nails at Evil Intentions and that's when he'll find out just how dangerous Anarachy, Inc. can be"! BACKSTAGE.... MATT TAYLOR AND JACKIE GAYDA ARE TALKING WHEN SAM WILDE COMES UP. Matt Taylor: "Hey Sam, say, when's the next study"?
Sam Wilde: "Listen Matt, I'm worried about Nemesis, he doesn't seem to see the light right now". Taylor: "I think he's a little stressed right now but he and I are gonna take care of Grenier and Dupree tonight, maybe that'll bring his
spirits up. Just stick with him Sam, you always have in the past". Wilde: "Something just seems different this time". OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA...
THE SCENE SWITCHES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE ARENA BACKSTAGE WHERE AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS SHOWN WITH TERRI. Austin Pyromania: "I gotta get over this slump I'm in Terri, do you really think moving into the toughman division was best"?
Terri: "Listen Austin, at Evil Intentions, you have a chance to break out of this slump in a huge way, if you can win that gauntlet match, no one will question anything because you will truly be the toughest man on RAW". JUST THEN, TOMMY DREAMER WALKS UP.
Austin Pyromania: "Hey Tommy, you sure about this tonight"? DREAMER LIFTS UP A SINGAPORE CANE. Tommy Dreamer: "Oh yeah, I'm sure. Oh, and good luck in the gauntlet match". Pyromania: "Same to you man". J.R.: "Dreamer takes on Bahamut later and up next, La Resistance faces Matt Taylor and Nemesis... don't move an inch"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF ACTION FIGURES IS SHOWN FAETURING THE SOON TO BE RELEASED JESSICA LOPEZ AND CARNEY FIGURES. RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE... AS RAW RETURNS, THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN STRIFE IS SHOWN STANDING NEXT TO JONATHAN COACHMAN.
Jonathan Coachman: "Strife later on tonight, you will get into the ring in a tag match that also features A-Train, the same A-Train that put you down with that bicycle kick last week. Is there a perception that maybe he..... Strife: "Maybe he what Coach? I was the first train in the TWF, I am the Locomotive! At Evil Intentions, I'm gonna take that overweight, out of shape, hairy freak and knock him off my tracks and I promise you, he won't be stupid enough to get on them again". KEVIN NASH COMES UP. Kevin Nash: "Let's do this big man". STRIFE AND NASH KNOCK FISTS AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO THE RING WHERE LA RESISTANCE's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND THEY STAND IN THE RING WITH WILLIAM REGAL. Rene Dupree: "There you people go again, booing us just because of the fact we are French". Sylvan Grenier: "When will you people realize, we didn't help you in the war because we didn't agree with your philosophies. President Bush is just like all you Americans, a bloodthirsty maniac who has no idea how to make peace without destruction". THE CROWD FURIOUSLY BOOS. William Regal: "What Rene and Sylvan are trying to say is, as long as America keeps it's current views, you will not get have very many allies". "DARK PATH" BY 12 STONES HITS AND JACKIE GAYDA COMES OUT WITH MATT TAYLOR. J.R.: "That is the most ridiculous load of crap I have ever heard"! Lawler: "It's their opinion J.R. and they seem very passionate about it"! J.R.: "Well this one is underway, look at Regal"! GRENIER AND DUPREE JUMPED ON TAYLOR
AS REGAL DISTRACTED REFEREE JIM KORDERAS. "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" THEN HIT AS NEMESIS CAME OUT WITH HIS BASEBALL BAT AND CHARGED THE RING, SWINGING IT WILDLY. HE CAUGHT DUPREE IN THE RIGHT ARM BUT GRENIER WAS ABLE TO GET AWAY.
Nemesis and Matt Taylor w/ Jackie Gayda vs. La Resistance w/ William Regal Korderas turned and saw Nemesis with the bat and forced him to get rid of it. Meanwhile, Grenier came over and tried to suplex Taylor but he countered it and rolled him up. He easily had a 3 count but Korderas was preoccupied with Nemesis. Dupree then came into the ring with the baseball bat and struck Taylor in the chest with it. Grenier covered him but Nemesis came in to make the save. After taking out both members of La Resistance for the second week in a row, Nemesis was officially tagged in by Taylor. After catching Dupree with a high elevation backbody drop, Nemesis turned to see William Regal and Jackie arguing. Nemesis reached through the ropes and pulled Regal in but Dupree came from behind with a lowblow that Korderas didn't see. That
led to a double flapjack and Dupree covered him for the 1....2....3. Match Time: 5:15 J.R.: "Hell, for not wanting to help us violent Americans, these two Frenchmen are sure hypocritical"! Lawler: "And they've also won another match J.R.! I think Wilde needs to get both these guys in for a study"!
J.R.: "Well I don't know what the relationship between those three men is but I do feel that Sam Wilde needs to get with them and regroup"! THE HARVARD FIGHT SONG HITS AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COMES OUT WITH THE GENIUS. Lawler: "Alright, this show is getting good"! J.R.: "Oh what is this about"? Christopher Nowinski: "Not to detract from yet another great win by La Resistance, I wanted to take this oppurtunity to invite High Octane to the ring for a manly challenge, an arm wrestling match". J.R.: "An arm wrestling match"? Nowinski: "Now High Octane, I realize that you may not wanna be embarrassed in front of all these poorly educated people here in Birmingham, but come on, it's not like you're a real proud man. I mean, you have blue hair for god sake"! "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. J.R.: "Well blue hair and all, here comes High Octane"! Lawler: "Look at those scrawny arms J.R., he doesn't stand a chance"! HIGH OCTANCE GOT UP ON THE APRON AND TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF. BUT BEFORE HE ENTERED THE RING, HE JUMPED OFF THE APRON AND JUST STARTED LAUGHING. NOWINSKI, CONFUSED, BECAME ANGRY BUT WHEN HE TURNED AROUND, HE WAS DRILLED WITH THE "SWEET CHIN MUSIC" FROM SHAWN MICHAELS WHO HAD COME THROUGH THE CROWD. LA RESISTANCE WENT AFTER MICHAELS WHEN LOS GUERRERO's CAME RUNNING OUT TO A GOOD POP. CHAVO TOOK GRENIER OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND EDDIE CAUGHT DUPREE WITH A PERFECT DROPKICK, FORCING THE 4 MEN TO RETREAT. "SEXY BOY" THEN HIT AS THE OTHER 4 STOOD TALL IN THE RING. Lawler: "This wasn't supposed to happen J.R.! This was supposed to be an arm wrestling match"! J.R.: "And HBK wasn't supposed to be assaulted by Nowinski here a couple weeks ago! He got what he damn well deserved and so did those Frenchmen! The Guererro's didn't forget what they did to them"! BACKSTAGE.... BILLY GUNN IS SHOWN WRAPPING HIS WRISTS WITH TAPE WHEN TRIPLE H COMES UP.
Triple H: "Hey man, long time no see". Billy Gunn: "Well, well, well, if it isn't the almighty game". Triple H: "Look man, I'm not here to start any problems and I know you have a match coming up, but I wanted to let you know that I think you and I might make a good team. What do you think"? Billy Gunn: "You want me to team with you, against Chuck and Stasiak"? Triple H: "Think about it man, it could be like old times". TRIPLE H WALKS AWAY, LEAVING GUNN SEEMING STUNNED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A TON OF BOOS. J.R.: "What? Triple H has
made an offer to Billy Gunn"? Lawler: "Billy Gunn would be a fool not to accept! This is his chance to be somebody again"! TOMMY
DREAMER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Billy Gunn is highly regarded as one of the best tag team wrestlers of his time
but that's a surprise"! Lawler: "I've been waiting for this one all night J.R., Tommy Dreamer is gonna find out that calling out Bahamut was one of the
stupidest things he's ever done"! J.R.: "Tommy Dreamer is one of the participants in that toughman gauntlet match and he could gain a huge amount of
momentum with a win here over Bahamut"! Tommy Dreamer vs. Bahamut
As the bell sounded, Dreamer walked right up to Bahamut and they began trading shots. Bahamut had a little bit more behind his punches and he knocked Dreamer to the corner. He then shot him to the opposite side and charged in but Dreamer stuck a boot in his face and came exploding out with a clothesline. After scoop slamming the near 7 footer, Dreamer came off the middle rope with a legdrop and made the cover, hooking the leg but Bahamut kicked out at 2. After Bahamut put his head down too early
after reversing an irish whip, Dreamer tried to plant him with his DDT but Bahamut blocked it and launched him into the air with a backdrop. He then dropped him with a big clothesline
followed by a gorilla press drop. He went for the cover and got 1....2...., but Dreamer kicked out. Then, after ducking a clothesline, Dreamer turned the tide with a russian leg sweep. He
was trying to set Bahamut up for the big upset but Bahamut blocked a double axe handle attempt off the top rope and hit "What Legends are made of" out of nowhere. He covered him and
hooked the leg to get the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 6:21 Lawler: "He got him J.R., this one is over and what does Dreamer have to show for calling out Bahamut"? J.R.: "Respect King,
respect from all these fans, myself included"! BAHAMUT PICKED DREAMER UP AND LAUNCHED HIM TO THE FLOOR. HE THEN RAISED HIS ARMS AS THE CROWD BOOED BUT DREAMER GRABBED HIS SINGAPORE CANE AND SLID INTO THE RING, STRIKING BAHAMUT ACROSS THE BACK. DREAMER THEN EXITED THE RING AS AN IRATE BAHAMUT LOOKED ON. DREAMER's MUSIC HIT AND HE LEFT TO A BIG POP WITH THE CANE IN THE AIR. Lawler: "Dreamer may have just made the biggest mistake of his life! Now how can you respect that"?! J.R.: "Bahamut asked for it King and I think Dreamer's gotta be
considered a good bet to knock Spawn off in that gauntlet match at Evil Intentions"! BACKSTAGE.... STEPHANIE's OFFICE.... STEPHANIE
IS SITTING AT HER DESK WITH THE ACTION GOING ON A NEARBY MONITOR WHEN TEDDY LONG ENTERS WITH JAZZ. Teddy Long: "Stephanie, we need to talk. We have a request". Stephanie: "What is it this week Teddy"? Long: "Excuse me, it's brother Long". Stephanie: "You refer to me as Ms. McMahon, I'll refer to you as brother Long". Long: "Well, Ms. McMahon, Jazz feels she's being slighted on this show. She's done everything to get a match
with Alex Miran but Miran won't give her a shot, we want a shot tonight". Stephanie: "Well, brother Long, I don't call sneak attacks doing everything you can for a title shot, but Alex is not even here tonight, she's on an overseas tour,
promoting the TWF". Long: "Oh is that right? Do you have any kind of documentation that can back that story up"? STEPHANIE STANDS UP. Stephanie: "Listen, I don't have to prove anything to you, I said she's not here, so she's
not here. Alex wants nothing more than to be a fighting champion and to give the most deserved female superstars a shot at the women's title, but right now, Jazz is not the most deserving. Now, I suggest you both get out of my office before I
notify security". STEPH POINTS TO THE DOOR AS LONG AND JAZZ RELUCTANTLY LEAVE. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... TEDDY LONG AND JAZZ ARE SHOWN BACKSTAGE. Teddy Long: "Don't worry about it girl, we're gonna go out there here in a minute and demand a Women's title match, we'll hold up the show".
JUST THEN, HULK HOGAN COMES FROM AROUND THE CORNER. Hulk Hogan: "Something tells me that isn't a good idea, brother". Long: "Well, if it isn't
the great white Hogan. And it's Long, brother Long". Hogan: "Let me tell you something dude, what you guys did to Stone Cold's truck a couple weeks ago was a bad move and I can promise that he's gonna come collecting"! Long: "Oh, so because we are black, we're the criminals around here? C'mon Jazz, let's go, everyone is the same around here".
AS THE SCENE CUTS BACK TO RINGSIDE, SCOTT STEINER, JOHN CENA AND RANDY ORTON ARE IN THE RING AND STEINER's MUSIC IS PLAYING. CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER WITH THE RAW TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAIST. J.R.: "It's time for six man tag action and this one is gonna be filled with action King cause here come the RAW tag team
champions"! Lawler: "I'm still trying to figure out what evidence Hogan has that Civil Rights vandalized the rattlesnake's truck"! "I'VE GOT IT ALL" HITS AS BILLY GUNN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "Are you serious? Get real King"! Lawler: "Maybe Teddy Long was right, everyone around here is the same"! J.R.: "We're not talking about Teddy Long right now, we are about to have a six man tag team match and here comes Billy Gunn who apparently
ahs emerged as a possible tag team partner for Triple H against the guys he's teaming with tonight"! Lawler: "Well he and Triple H go way back J.R. but I think the other three have more to prove and they are gonna be trying to win a spot as
Helmsley's partner with their performance here"! 6 Man tag team match Scott Steiner, Randy Orton and John Cena vs. Chuck Palumbo, Shawn Stasiak and Billy Gunn Palumbo, fresh off two pinfall victories over Triple H, started things off with Steiner but soon succumbed to his power. After rocking Palumbo with some straight right hands, Steiner locked in a bear hug. He nearly got the win but Palumbo escaped with an ear clap and then tagged in Stasiak. Stasiak launched himself into the ring with a slingshot clothesline followed by an elbow drop. He went for the cover but Steiner launched him off. He then tagged in Cena who came in and took Stasiak to the mat. He had a side headlock set in deep but it eventually turned into a choke. Referee Mike Chioda warned Cena to break the hold but Stasiak stood up and dropped down with a chinbreaker. He then ran over Cena with a big clothesline. But after reversing an irish whip, Cena dropped Stasiak with a huge knee to the gut. Stasiak went on to take a lot of punishment from all 3 men including a dropkick on the button from Orton. But when Orton went for his top rope cross body, Stasiak rolled through it and nearly stole the match. He then tagged in Billy Gunn who came in and took on all 3 men, hitting Cena with some stiff jabs before knocking Steiner to the floor with a nice dropkick. Orton came from behind and whipped Gunn to the ropes but Stasiak made a blind tag. Cena then tackled Gunn and they went to the mat as Steiner made his way over and began trading shots with Palumbo. But in the ring, Orton got in a low blow on Stasiak that was missed in the confusion and he drove him to the mat with the "O-Zone", hooked the leg and got the 1...2....3. Match Time: 8:56 J.R.: "Well I'll be damned, Orton has defeated Stasiak with a low blow because referee Chioda had his hands way too full". Lawler: "Maybe the game will pick Orton!
That was a great win"! J.R.: "It looks to me like this one's far from over King"! AFTER THE MATCH, THE 6 SUPERSTARS CONTINUED TO BRAWL WHEN TRIPLE H CAME OUT TOTING A STEEL CHAIR. HE HIT BOTH PALUMBO AND STASIAK ACROSS THE BACK BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING. HE CALLED FOR AND WAS GIVEN THE HOUSE MIC. Lawler: "The Game's not foolin' around tonight"! Triple H: "I've had a long time to sit back and think about this decision and I finally have one. Now Randy, John and Scott, you guys looked great tonight and I gotta say, that's what we need. But a month ago at Foul Play, I put this
show on my shoulders and saved it from sure extinction in my match with Malice. How many of you guys said thanks Hunter or, we appreciate you saving our careers Triple H? None of you guys did that! So at Evil Intentions, my partner is gonna be......nobody"! J.R.: "What"?! Triple H: "I'm gonna go out by myself and become the tag team champions all by myself! There will only be one thing that changes. Instead of RAW being our personal stomping grounds, it will be my personal stomping ground"! Lawler: "What is he doing J.R."? J.R.: "I have no idea, he's letting it all go to his head! He can't beat the champs alone, come on"! Triple H: "Oh and one other thing..... JUST THEN, TRIPLE H TURNED AND KICKED BILLY GUNN IN THE GUT RIGHT AS HE WAS GETTING TO HIS FEET AND THEN DELIVERED THE PEDIGREE. so much for old times sake"! "THE GAME" HIT AS TRIPLE H WALKED TO THE BACK, LEAVING STEINER, ORTON AND CENA SHAKING THEIR HEADS. J.R.: "Does Triple H really know what he's doing"? Lawler: "He's gonna make history J.R.! No man has ever won the titles alone! Plus, he's got a point, he should be more appreciated! Why, without his efforts J.R., Teddy Long probably would've had Ray Charles and Bill Bellamy in these chairs"! CIVIL RIGHTS' LOGO APPEARS AND THEIR THEME MUSIC HITS AS TEDDY LONG LEADS JAZZ OUT TO A TON OF BOOS, THE MOST ALL NIGHT. Lawler: "Well they said they were gonna come out J.R. and here they come"! J.R.: "I am still shocked over what we just heard, the game volunteering himself for a handicapped match". Teddy Long: "Ya know people, tonight, we did things the way you're technically supposed to do them. We went to Stephanie and asked for a Women's title shot and we got a b.s. excuse. Now, there are two things we know that are true. One, there is no way Alex Miran could handle my girl Jazz and two, the man does
not wanna see that title around the waist of a black woman"! J.R.: "Oh for god sake, Alex is in Germany King"! Lawler: "Brother Long wants proof"! Long: "Now a couple weeks ago, I told Stephanie that we were gonna play by the rules. By I see this company is still gonna discriminate against.... JUST THEN, GLASS BREAKS AND STONE COLD STEVE
AUSTIN's MUSIC LEADS HIM OUT TO THE BIGGEST POP ALL NIGHT. J.R.: "Oh boy, business just picked up in a big way King"! AUSTIN ENTERS THE RING AND GETS IN TEDDY LONG's FACE. JAZZ PUSHES LONG ASIDE AND GETS IN AUSTIN's FACE. Stone Cold: "Oh I see, not only do you have men doing your dirty work, but you have tramps that stick up for you"! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. Lawler: "You're gonna regret this Austin"! Stone Cold: "Last week, I wanted to get my hands on the sorry SOB that beat the hell out of my truck! What did I get? I got mugged by your whole group! If ya think that Civil Rights is nothing but a group of pussies, gimme a hell yeah"! Crowd: (in unison) "Hell yeah"! Stone Cold: Now Teddy, and no I'm not gonna call you brother Long cause I think you're a piece of trash! But I....
JUST THEN, JAZZ REARS BACK AND HITS AUSTIN WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND. AUSTIN GETS A SMILE ON HIS FACE BEFORE BACKING JAZZ UP. BUT THE CROWD TRIES TO WARN HIM WHEN RON KILLINGS COMES UP FROM BEHIND
AND ATTACKS HIM. AFTER SEVERAL KICKS TO THE GUT, KILLINGS DROPS AUSTIN WITH A DDT. BUT AFTER REVERSING AN IRISH WHIP, AUSTIN CATCHES HIM WITH THE THESZ PRESS BEFORE PICKING HIM UP BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD
AND LAUNCHING HIM TO THE FLOOR. AUSTIN THEN TURNS AND DELIVERS A SURPRISE STUNNER TO JAZZ AS THE CROWD GOES NUTS. TEDDY LONG EXITS THE RING AS AUSTIN GIVES THEM ALL THE FINGER AND HIS MUSIC HITS.
Lawler: "He can't do that! He just gave Jazz a Stunner"! J.R.: "You're damn right he did and the only thing that's disappointing is that he didn't get Teddy Long too"! Lawler: "Well I hope Austin is ready for a war, cause he's gonna get one now
with these guys"! TWF RE-WIND SHOWS A-TRAIN LAYING WASTE TO SEVERAL mFw SUPERSTARS ON UPRISING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. A LOUD HORN BLOWS AS A-TRAIN's MUSIC HITS. HE AND NATHAN JONES EMERGE FROM THE BACK TO A TON OF HEAT. Lawler: "Look at this team J.R., how would you like to meet them in a dark alley"? J.R.: "Last week on RAW Kevin Nash met Nathan Jones in a parking lot and seemed to get the worst of the brawl, sporting a bandaged forehead here tonight due to Jones putting him through a windshield". "GET OFF MY TRACKS" HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT WITH THE WORLD TITLE. HE WALKS ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE
RAMP WHEN "DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON THE WOLFPAC" HITS AND KEVIN NASH COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Lawler: "That was one heck of a fight last week J.R. but it's gonna be nothing compared
to the war between Strife and A-Train at Evil Intentions"! J.R.: "Strife has had a beef with A-Train all along because he was the Locomotive long before A-Train went by that name but when A-Train destroyed those mFw wrestlers on Uprising, Strife made a challenge and it will go down at Evil Intentions. But Strife must be wary tonight because A-Train is gonna use Nathan Jones to help take Strife out before then"! A-Train and Nathan Jones vs. Strife and Kevin Nash A-Train stood inside the ring opposite Nash but Nash tagged in Strife who was
ready to lock horns with the huge A-Train. But A-Train brought in Nathan Jones and he and Strife locked up. Strife backed him to the corner and referee Earl Hebner got between the two, looking for a break but Jones got in a cheap shot with a palm strike. He then delivered some body shots, looking to injure the kidney and lower abdominal area of the champ. After a scoop slam, Jones went to the top rope but when he came off, Strife got a foot up in his face and was able to reach over and tag in Nash. Nash went right to work with some hard elbows in the corner on Jones before dropping him with a sideslam. He went for the cover but A-Train came in to break it up. Nash went after A-Train but Jones got up and caught him with a
double thrust chop to the throat. Jones then tagged in A-Train who delivered another scoop slam before using the corner to sling himself on Nash with a splash. He went for the cover but Nash popped out at 2. A-Train relentlessly kept the pressure on with some hard right hands before whipping Nash to the ropes and catching him with a big clothesline. A-Train then set Nash up for a suplex but it was a mistake as he couldn't get him up. Nash then escaped with some hard elbows to the back of the head before scooping the big man up and dumping him on the mat. He was then able to tag in Strife who came in ready, blasting A-Train with some violent right hands to the head and body before whipping him to the ropes and catching him with a big boot. He then tagged in Nash and they sent A-Train into the ropes, looking for a double backbody drop.
But Jones slapped A-Train's back, bringing him into the match. Strife put his head down too early and A-Train kicked him in the chest before delivering his bicycle kick. But Nash came from behind with a sidewalk slam. Nash yelled and pointed at A-Train but when he turned around, he walked right into
a devastating spin kick from Jones that put his lights out. Jones made the cover and got the 1....2...3. Match Time: 7:34 BUT THE MATCH CONTINUED AS A-TRAIN AND STRIFE TRADED BLOWS. BUT JONES CAME FROM BEHIND AND KICKED NASH IN THE KIDNEYS. A-TRAIN THEN LOCKED HIS HANDS AROUND HIS THROAT AND
DELIVERED THE "BALDO BOMB" AND HIS MUSIC HIT. NASH AND STRIFE WERE LEFT LAYING. J.R.: "Strife and Nash have been decimated here and A-Train may have accomplished his goal, Strife is hurt"! Lawler: "They look like those mFw guys did"! A-TRAIN WAS SHOWN WITH JONES, HIS ARMS RAISED. J.R.: "Can you imagine this man as the World champ"? OFF AIR....
