June 6, 2003
THE SUN IS READY TO SET IN NEW YORK CITY AS THE OUTSIDE OF THE TWF
LIVEWIRE INN IS SHOWN. INSIDE, THE ATMOSPHERE IS ELECTRIC AS FANS ARE SHOWN THROUGHOUT, SHOWING THEIR
TWF PRIDE. MOMENTS LATER, AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN STEP OUT ON STAGE TO A BIG POP. Al Snow: "If you
wanna see nonstop action, you've come to the right place! Tonight, part of the number one wrestling company in the world, the TWF,
RAW will be held live in Rockford, Illinois and with what went down at Evil Intentions, you know the party's jumpin' there Honky"!
Honky Tonk Man: "And we're here with all my people to get things started! One thing though, we need to change the name of this place to
the Heartbreak Hotel"! Snow: "Why, cause everyone is heartbroken when they see you"? HTM: "Funny, let's just get to the action".
THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO THE RING WHICH IS NOW SURROUNDED BY FANS AND THE ACTION GETS UNDERWAY.
mFw match: Kaz Hayashi vs. Lash Leroux These two started Uprising with an exciting spotfest that
the crowd really got into. But after slipping off Leroux's shoulder, Hayashi ran him to the ropes and rolled him up for the big victory.
Jessica Lopez vs. Victoria Common place on Uprising lately, two divas from RAW lit it up. Lopez put on a great offensive display but the resiliency of Victoria showed through. After a spinning sidewalk slam, Victoria hit her flip over the top rope legdrop from the apron and hooked the leg for the win.
Los Guerrero's vs. Super Crazy and Juventud Guerrera of mFw One of the best matches on Uprising since it's inception, this one had it all. Los Guerrerro's were given all they wanted from the up and coming mFw team who got 8 two counts. But after countering a hurricanrana attempt with a powerbomb,
Eddie Guerrero locked in the "Lasso from El Paso" on Super Crazy who had no choice but to tap out. But after the match, the four men shook hands and embraced in the middle of the ring. HTM: "Oh,
isn't that sweet". Snow: "Juvi and Super Crazy are being given the ultimtae respect from one of the better tag teams in the world"! JUST THEN, LA RESISTANCE' s MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT. RENE DUPREE
IS DRESSED IN RAGGEDDY CLOTHES AND IS PUSHING A CART FULL OF ORANGES. SYLVAN GRENIER IS WEARING A SOMBRERO AND HOLDING A LIVE CHIHUAHUA. Rene Dupree: "What is this, the swap meet? Excuse me to interrupt
amigos, but would anyone like an orange"? EDDIE GUERRERO IS BEING HELD BACK. Sylvan Grenier: "Hey, the only reason these people are cheering for you... is because they all graduated in the same grade as you four clowns, third"! Dupree: "No, no, no Sylvan... that is incorrect. The reason they are all cheering is because they're all related"!
HTM: "Yeah, topped with green chili". Snow: "I'd watch it Honky, those four are still here. But we're outta time folks and we are about to send it to the call of Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler who are live at the Metrocentre"! J.R.: "La Resistance is gonna pay for that King"! Lawler: "I thought that was great, I wish they were here tonight"! J.R.: "We've got plenty of action folks so don't go away, RAW is next"! THE SCENE SWITCHES BACKSTAGE WHERE THE BRAND NEW TOUGHMAN CHAMPION AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS SITTING AND ADMIRING HIS TITLE AS TERRI ENTERS.
Terri: "Hey champ". Austin Pyromania: "Hey, what's happening"? Terri: "What's happening is that tonight, we are gonna sit back and relax in here, to celebrate you winning that
belt". Pyromania: "Thanks Terri". PYROMANIA STANDS UP AND HUGS HER AS THE SHOT CUTS TO RAW's MONTAGE VIDEO AND "ACROSS THE NATION" HITS BEFORE FIREWORKS ERUPT INSIDE THE ARENA. J.R.: "We are live from Rockford, Illinois, coming off the heels of Evil Intentions and King, I think we've got one hell of a show on the way"! A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAW LOGO POPS UP AND SHOWS CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI, A-TRAIN AND THE GENIUS ON ONE SIDE AND STRIFE AND HIGH OCTANE ON THE OTHER. Jerry Lawler: "Oh yeah, look at this for a tag team main event"!
J.R.: "Christopher Nowinski will join forces with the big A-Train to take on the men they lost to at Evil Intentions, High Octane and Strife"! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A
MIXED RESPONSE. Lawler: "But we're startin' it out with the game"! J.R.: "The man who single handedly became RAW tag team champions at Evil Intentions and folks, you have to give it up to him for that"!
Lawler: "The game's on top of the world J.R., this is great"! Triple H: "I sure hope that some of you out there have realized something. And that is, that I am the best this business has to offer today! I don't give a crap what all these damn internet sites say about me, I am the game and I once again proved that I am that damn good! However, even I can't stay the tag team champions by myself for too long. So tonight, I will make a decision about who will hold them with me". JUST THEN, SIRENS BLARE AND "HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME" IS HEARD AS SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT AND MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. Lawler: "Steiner"? J.R.: "Scott Steiner is on his way out here but judging by the look on the game's face, he was planning on this". Scott Steiner: "Look Hunter, you already passed me over once and even though we could've got the job done
together at Evil Intentions, I know we can now. So don't go and make the same mistake twice, I'm your man". RANDY ORTON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT AND WALKS DOWN THE AISLE WITH A MICROPHONE IN HAND.
Randy Orton: "Wait just a minute there Scott, this is Hunter's choice. Now don't you think he'd rather have a third generation superstar over some roided freak such as yourself"? Lawler: "Whoa"! J.R.: "Things are getting tense out here
folks". STEINER GETS IN ORTON's FACE WHEN JOHN CENA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A MIC. John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, hold up one sec fellas. Now I know you both got your own reasons why Hunter should pick you and Randy, you and I go way back bro, but truth is, I could whoop both your asses, so Hunter, the choice is obvious, you can't go wrong with John Cena"! J.R.: "Triple H's group is unraveling before his eyes"! TRIPLE H GETS A SMILE ON HIS FACE.
Lawler: "I think he likes this J.R."! ALL 3 MEN LOOK LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO GO AT IT AND THEY START TO SHOVE EACH OTHER AROUND. Steiner: "Look! I was the one who started this with Hunter! RAW was made our personal stomping grounds, then
we picked you to up! And lately, it's been me who's helped you to get to where you are"! "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND STEPHANIE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Lawler: "Oh here we go, here comes the boss"! J.R.: "I think business just picked up folks".
Stephanie McMahon: "Ya know, you three just gave me a great idea. It's been awhile since we had a triple threat on RAW. So tonight, in that very ring, it'll be Scott Steiner versus Randy Ortoni versus John Cena and the winner becomes the other half of the RAW tag team champions"! "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AGAIN AND STEPHANIE GOES BACKSTAGE AS THE 3 MEN LOOK AROUND AT EACH OTHER. TRIPLE H STILL HAS THE GRIN ON HIS FACE. Lawler: "Stephanie just laid down the law J.R."! J.R.: "They're gonna have to compete for it, tonight"! BACKSTAGE... PYROMANIA's DRESSING ROOM.... TERRI AND PYROMANIA ARE TALKING WHEN TOMMY DREAMER KNOCKS ON THE OPEN DOOR AND ENTERS. Tommy Dreamer: "Hey Austin". Pyromania:
"What's up Tommy"? Dreamer: "Listen man, I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on winning that belt, that was an incredible performance man". THEY SHAKE HANDS. Pyromania: "Thanks man". COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE MATRIX RELOADED IS SHOWN. A PROMO FOR GAIL KIM IS SHOWN, HYPING HER DEBUT BY SAYING.... COMING SOON!
RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... TEDDY LONG AND JAZZ ENTER STEPHANIE's OFFICE AS RAW COMES BACK. Stephanie: "Can I help you"? Teddy Long: "Yes, Stephanie, you can, you can start by telling us when our match for the Women's title is tonight". Stephanie: "First of all, it's Ms. McMahon, remember? And second, that match will not take place here tonight". JAZZ LEANS IN ON HER DESK. Jazz: "She already agreed to the match". Stephanie: "Yes, she did. But I say when it happens and tonight Jazz, you're part of a
six person tag team match". Long: "What? We're not prepared for that"! Stephanie: "Well I suggest you get prepared and you go tell D'Lo Brown and Shelton
Benjamin that they're part of it too. It'll be your group versus Alex Miran, Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak"! Long: "I should've known we'd be hated on". Jazz: "When that match does happen, I'm gonna rip that white bitch in half". JAZZ AND LONG EXIT THE OFFICE AND STEPHANIE SEEMS QUITE OFFENDED BY THE COMMENT. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "Now what was that about? They've got their damn match". Lawler: "Yeah, but they want it now, they're ready for it now"! "I'VE GOT IT ALL" HITS AND BILLY GUNN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "Well they're gonna have to learn some patience because Stephanie runs this show and she has set up a good match here between Bahamut and Billy Gunn"! Lawler: "Billy Gunn better be careful, Bahamut's been in a foul mood lately"!
J.R.: "What a win this would be for Gunn if he could pick it up". Bahamut vs. Billy Gunn As the bell sounded, Bahamut turned and began to yell at someone in the crowd when Billy Gunn snuck up from behind and dropkicked him in the back, sending him through the ropes and to the floor. He followed him out and whipped him into steel post, causing Bahamut's left shoulder some severe pain. Back in the ring, Gunn kept the shots coming, delivering a healthy dose of right jabs before whipping him into the ropes. But Bahamut ducked a clothesline and caught him with a headbutt when he turned around. Bahamut then delivered a shoulder breaker followed by a hard elbow drop but only got a 2 count. Moments later, Gunn ducked a clothesline off an irish whip and hit the
"Fame-Asser" out of nowhere, getting great height. He topped Bahamut and got 1......2....., but Bahamut got his foot on the bottom rope just in time to stop the count. Gunn got up and smacked his leg, signaling another was on the way. But after he bounced off the ropes, Bahamut nearly beheaded him with a clothesline. After a military press slam into a modified powerbomb, Bahamut had Gunn all set up for "What legends are made of" but from the back came Tommy Dreamer!
He got into the ring and smacked Bahamut across the back with a singapore cane. Referee Chad Patton called for the bell and Bahamut had won via DQ. But he had an evil look in his eyes as Dreamer backed away to a very positive response from the crowd. Match Time: 6:34 Lawler: "Well Tommy Dreamer, I hope you've enjoyed it here on RAW, I don't think you're gonna be around much longer"! J.R.: "Bahamut had it coming King! He cost Dreamer a shot at the Toughman title at Evil Intentions and for what? For what reason"? Lawler: "Doesn't matter, he has a reason now". BACKSTAGE... PYROMANIA's DRESSING ROOM... A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TERRI AND PYROMANIA IS CUT SHORT WHEN MATT TAYLOR ENTERS. PYROMANIA STANDS UP TO CONFRONT HIM
BUT TAYLOR EXTENDS HIS HAND FOR A SHAKE. PYROMANIA SHAKES HIS HAND. Matt Taylor: "Nice work". TAYLOR TURNS AND WALKS OUT, LEAVING PYROMANIA SOMEWHAT SURPRISED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE mFw TAG TEAM JOEY MATTHEWS AND CHRISTIAN YORK ARE SHOWN IN THE RING.
A NEW ENTRANCE THEME HITS AND THE BRAND NEW TAG TEAM THE BASHAM BROTHERS COMES OUT TO A QUIET RESPONSE. Lawler: "Can you believe that"?
J.R.: "Maybe what Wilde's been showing him has done some good! That was a nice gesture by Taylor but right now, we've got tag team action between the newest additions to the RAW roster, Doug and Danny Basham and a team people may remember from the ECW days, Christian York and Joey Matthews who now compete in mFw and you know they're relishing this oppurtunity King". Lawler: "I like the looks of this new team the Basham's, but which is which"? J.R.: "Danny is the one with shorter hair and Doug's got a little facial hair but to be honest, Stephanie liked the looks of this team as well and she snacthed them up the second she heard they were ready, no even giving PrimeTime a chance". Lawler: "Well they're in luck, RAW's a better division"! The Basham Brothers vs. Christian York and Joey Matthews of mFw
Danny Basham started things off with Joey Matthews and after a side headlock, Basham began pulling his hair. Referee Charles Robinson came around to look but Danny got his hand away just in time. He went back to the hair when Robinson moved away and Matthews backed him to the ropes and sent him in. Matthews leapfrogged him and caught him with a monkey flip as he came off the other side. Matthews made the tag to York who brought himself in with a springboard dropkick that amazed the crowd. York whipped him into the ropes and caught him
with a back elbow before making the tag back to Matthews. Danny was able to reverse an irish whip and he sent Matthews into the ropes where Doug Basham stuck a knee in his back. Danny then tagged out
and Doug came in and slowed the pace, using the brunt of his boot to stand on the trachea of Matthews. Robinson made him break the hold and Doug then delivered an inverted atomic drop follwed by a
big clothesline. He then tagged in Danny who bounced off the ropes and had Doug launch him onto Matthews. The Basham's used a few other innovative double teams before Matthews caught Danny with a jumping spinwheel kick. He was able to roll to his corner and make the tag to York who came in and beat Danny to the punch. Soon, all 4 men were in it exchanging shots. Matthews bounced off the ropes but Doug took him by the back of the head and sent him sailing over the top rope. Robinson turned to check on Matthews and in the process, Doug lowblowed York and Danny rolled him up with a small package right as Robinson turned to
count the 3. Match Time: 6:13 Lawler: "AHAHA, I knew I liked these guys"! J.R.: "It figures, the King always cheers for the cheaters and it's too bad because I think we were gonna see an upset". Lawler: "Nah, they had these guys right where they wanted J.R. and you watch, this teams gonna climb the ladder of success quickly"! J.R.: "Well a great effort nonetheless by York and Matthews and fans, if you wanna see more of them, all
you have to do is tune into mFw Warzone and mFw Mayhem". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... SAM WILDE IS CONFRONTED BY AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN. Man: "Uh, Sam Wilde"? WILDE TURNS Sam Wilde: "Yes, who are you"? Man: "I'm am here to notify you that next week, on this program, you are going to be honored with the Heaven's Gate award. Congratulations". THE MAN SHAKES AN EXUBERANT WILDE's HAND AND WALKS AWAY. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR 7-UP IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... STEPHANIE's OFFICE.... AS RAW RETURNS, CAMERAS PICK UP THE MIDDLE OF A HEATED PHONE CONVERSATION. Stephanie: "So Nidia had an escape clause in her contract, that's what you're telling me? (pause) And there's no way I can get her back on RAW? (pause) Fine, then as my chief negotiator, I want you to make sure that if there's anyone else on my roster who has that in their contract, see to it that it's taken out"! STEPHANIE HANGS UP THE PHONE
AS THE SCENE SWITCHES TO RINGSIDE. GOLD PYRO SHOOTS UP AROUND THE SET AND 24 KARAT PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AS GOLDUST's MUSIC HITS AND HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE. J.R.: "So apparently, Nidia has left RAW for PrimeTime King"! Lawler: "I'm gonna miss seeing Nidia out here, I think she made a mistake". J.R.: "Well in any event, here comes the bizarre Goldust and tonight King, he's gonna be facing a man full of rage, a man who may be as bizarre as he is". NATHAN JONES' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT SPORTING HIS DEMENTED GRIN, HIS FISTS CLINCHED. Lawler: "Oh yes J.R., this man is
extremely dangerous and if I were Goldust, I'd be trying to make peace". Nathan Jones vs. Goldust Jones got into the ring and before the bell even sounded, he took a wild swing at Goldust. But Goldust ducked and tagged him with 2 uppercuts as the bell rang. Goldust threw everything he had at Jones before whipping him to the corner. But when he went for his bulldog,
Jones just tossed him about 5 feet across the ring. He then kicked Goldust in the chest with a hard boot before whipping him to the corner and charging in with a clothesline. But Goldust moved and then tried to set him up for the Shattered Dreams. Goldust backed up to take a running start but as he charged in, Jones got off the ropes and caught him with a wicked spin kick to the face. Jones hooked the leg and got the 3 count. Match Time: 3:18 J.R.: "And just like that,
this one is over, wow"! Lawler: "Look at Jones, he looks a little uneasy J.R.". A TENTATIVE REFEREE JIM KORDERAS WENT TO RAISE JONES' HAND BUT HE PULLED IT AWAY AND GOT HIS GRIN ON HIS FACE. HE SLAPPED HIS RIGHT HAND AROUND GOLDUST's THROAT AND PULLED HIM UP, LOOKING TO DO MORE DAMAGE. BUT THE FANS CHEERED WHEN A VOICE YELLED "LET HIM GO" AND KEVIN NASH EMERGED FROM BACKSTAGE. J.R.: "Thank god for Big Sexy". Lawler: "What's he doin' out here"?
Kevin Nash: "Hey big man, I said let him go. JONES LET's GO AND GOLDUST ESCAPES. There's no need for this man, I know what you want. So what'd ya say next week, me and you hook it up"? J.R.: "What? He's challenging Jones"? JONES STARTS TO NOD HIS
HEAD, THE GRIN STILL AFIXED TO HIS FACE. Lawler: "And look, Jones is accepting"! "DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON THE WOLFPAC" HITS AND KEVIN NASH RAISES HIS ARM IN THE AIR AS THE CROWD CHEERS. J.R.: "You talk about a clash of the titans, that's gonna be huge next week"!
BACKSTAGE.... SAM WILDE ENTERS HIS DRESSING ROOM AND MATT TAYLOR AND NEMESIS ARE IN THEIR AS WELL. Wilde: "Do I have news for you two". Taylor: "Why, what happened"? Wilde: "I was just informed that next week, right here on RAW, I'm going to receive the Heaven's Gate award, something I've worked my whole life for"! Nemesis: "The what"? Wilde: "It's an award that acknowledges the fact that I have carried out the word of the lord, it virtually gaurantees you a spot in Heaven. Now, I came here to ask if you two will be out there to accept it with me, after all, it has been you two who've taken the lords word and listened to it as well". Taylor: "Definitely". Nemesis: "Sure".
Wilde: "Oh thanks guys, you don't know what that means to me". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "HELL's GAURDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT IS PLAYING AND ANARCHY INC. IS IN THE RING. THEY JUST WATCHED WILDE, NEMESIS AND TAYLOR ON THE TWF TRON. Nails: (laughing) "There's gonna be a bunch of holy crap on this show next week? That's b.s. and Steph, you should do something about it. Remember, I'm the only one on RAW who'd kick a priest in the crotch! Anyway, on to other things. Road Warriors, you two has beens stuck your noses somewhere they shouldn't of been. So now, you get to pay up for that. Now you two may have been big in the 80's with your spiked shoulder pads, but trust me, ZeroEx and I have no respect for you. One of you hides behind makeup and the other has a fixation with pain killers, but hell, we'd still love to kick the hell out of you.
So why don't you get your asses down here and we'll find out who's got a problem afterwards"! J.R.: "You gotta be kidding me, they're callin' out Hawk and Animal"! Lawler: "They sure are"! "AH..... WHAT A RUSH" IS HEARD AND THE MUSIC OF THE ROAD WARRIORS HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A BIG POP. THEY BOTH HAVE MICROPHONES AND THEY GET RIGHT IN THE RING. Hawk: "Listen asshole! You're barkin' up the wrong damn tree tonight because see, Animal and I, we're authority. We were chosen to help enforce the rules on this show and to clean up the trash and speaking of trash, I see a big pile of it in this ring"! NAILS RARES BACK TO HIT HIM BUT ZEROEX STOPS HIM. Animal: "Go ahead! Go ahead and hit him and Stephanie McMahon will suspend you so fast it'll make your hockey mask spin"! Hawk: "Pain killers, that's in the past pal and just because we can't get it done in the ring anymore, doesn't mean we don't like to fight. This is just not the time or the place". THE ROAD WARRIORS DROP THEIR MICS AND TURN TO LEAVE BUT NAILS CLOBBERS HAWK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. ANIMAL TURNS AND TRIES TO HELP BUT ZEROEX CATCHES HIM
WITH A SUPERKICK, KNOCKING HIM FLAT ON HIS BACK. AS HAWK TRIES TO GET UP, NAILS PULLS OUT HIS TRADEMARK BRASS KNUCKLES AND HITS HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES, BUSTING HIM OPEN. THE UNDERTAKER COMES RUNNING
OUT TO THE ROAR OF THE CROWD BUT THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE BY ANARCHY INC. WHO IS LEAVING THROUGH THE CROWD. J.R.: "My god, are those two stupid or what?! They're gonna be suspended for sure"! Lawler: "Yeah but I bet if you asked them, they'd say it was worth it"! BACKSTAGE.... PYROMANIA's DRESSING ROOM.... Terri: "So ya like it Austin, was this okay"? Pyromania: "Terri, this was
great, this was better than great. But in order for this to be a perfect night, I wanna go address the crowd". THE CROWD INSIDE THE ARENA CHEERS LOUDLY AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK.... A COMMERCIAL FOR MILKY WAY IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.... HIGH OCTANE IS WARMING UP FOR HIS MATCH BACKSTAGE WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS COMES UP. Shawn Michaels: "Damion". HIGH OCTANE TURNS. High Octane: "Hey Heartbreak, what's up"? Michaels: "Just came to tell ya somethin' man". High Octane: "Hey, thanks for the help at Evil Intentions".
Michaels: "No problem my man, but what I came here to tell you is of relative importance. See, I know your idol was Brian Pillman and I know how much you try
to emulate him. But if there's one thing I wanna leave behind when I hand 'em up is the fact that somebody tried to be like me, tried to have the career that I have. Now I'm not beggin'
to be some kind of hero, but in my eyes, if there's anyone on the roster who has the chance to be the next Shawn Michaels, it's you. Good luck tonight". MICHAELS WALKS AWAY AND HIGH OCTANE GETS A SLIGHT SMILE ON HIS FACE AS HE THINKS ABOUT WHAT HE JUST SAID. BACK AT RINGSIDE, SPAWN's MUSIC HITS AS A CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE FILLS THE ENTRANCE AND THE WORDS
"REIGN OF DARKNESS" APPEARS AND FLASHES ON THE TWF TRON. J.R.: "We're back on RAW folks and you talk about an honor, how many wrestlers would have killed to have HBK tell them what he just said to High Octane King"? Lawler: "Well, it's not like being the next me, but it's a high accolade, HBK was and still is very good"! "DARK PATH" BY 12 STONES HITS AND JACKIE GAYDA LEADS MATT TAYLOR OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "Some of these fans
are still unsure about this guy but I gotta give him credit for what he did tonight, shaking Pyromania's hand after the heated rivalry they had". Lawler: "And ironically, now he's gotta take out the man who Pyromania knocked off last for the
Toughman title in that gauntlet"! J.R.: "Well I know Spawn hasn't forgotten about that but if he wants to avoid a losing streak, he better not overlook Taylor". Spawn
w/ Akasha vs. Matt Taylor w/ Jackie Gayda As the bell sounded, Taylor didn't back down an inch to Spawn, laying in some hard right hands. He ducked a clubbing shot from the former toughman champ
and caught him with a kick to the gut. But when he bounced off the ropes, Spawn dropped him with a big boot followed by a hard elbow drop. He then shot Taylor into the corner so hard the ring shook. Taylor fell on his face and tried to pull himself up
but Spawn was on top of his game, pulling him up and clubbing him across the chest. He then delivered a hard sidewalk slam and hooked the leg to get 1......2....., but Taylor still had some life, kicking out. Off an irish whip, Spawn dropped his head too early and Taylor got in a 2 handed facebuster. Akasha tried to get on the apron but Jackie pulled her down. Akasha tried to go at her but Taylor saw and grabbed Akasha by the arm. But the distraction allowed Spawn to collect himself and position himself behind Taylor so when he turned back around, he kicked him in the gut and delivered the "Spawn Driver", putting no doubt over the win. Match Time: 4:09 J.R.: "My gosh! I'd have to say that the Spawn Driver is one of the most effective moves I've seen folks". Lawler: "Look at the women J.R., they wanna get it on now"! AS JACKIE GOT INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON HER MAN, AKASHA POINTED AT HER AND HER MOUTH READ "YOU BETTER LOOK OUT". J.R.: "I don't think it's over between these parties King and I admire Jackie for standing up to that woman"! BACKSTAGE.... STEPHANIE's OFFICE.... STEPHANIE IS AT HER DESK WHEN TEDDY LONG ENTERS AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH RON KILLINGS. Stephanie: "Ahhh! What is it now"? Long: "Well Ms. McMahon, we've searched
this building high and low and yet, there's no sign of that piece of trailer park trash Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now we both know that brother Killings here has some unfinished business with him, so what we wanna know is, why is he ducking us? He calls himself the toughest SOB". Stephanie: "Well for your
information, Steve is visiting Dr. Hae-Dong Jho who is a doctor in Philadelphia. He's been having some serious problems with his neck. So he's not ducking you, he's looking out for his own well being and personal health". Long: "And this is okay with you? That he misses all this time and prevents my man here from getting the big money match he deserves"? Stephanie: "Steve has my full support and I told him he can take as much time as he needs". Long: "Do you see a pattern developing here Ms. McMahon? Cause I know I do. Alex Miran and Steve Austin get their way and Jazz and Ron Killings, both of color, get screwed". Stephanie: "Your match is up next. Now you have exactly ten seconds to leave my office, or I'll make things worse"! Long: "By doing what, saying Michael Jordan wasn't the best basketball player ever it was actually Larry Bird? By saying Reggie Jackson wasn't Mr. October because it was in fact Babe Ruth? My people are tired of this treatment". LONG LEAVES THE OFFICE AND THE CAMERA SHOWS STEPHANIE WITH A VERY ANGRY LOOK ON HER FACE. THE SCENE CUTS TO RINGSIDE WHERE "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HITS AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT AS FIREWORKS POP OFF THE SET. HE HAS THE TOUGHMAN TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST
AND TERRI AT HIS SIDE. J.R.: "Here comes the man of the hour folks, the new Toughman champion"! Lawler: "With this party and all this other crap, I'm already sick of him being champ"! Pyromania: "Thank you, thank you all. Ya know, I came out here for two reasons tonight and the first is a little tough, but I made a promise that
if I ever won a title here in the TWF, I would dedicate it to the memory of my father, who passed away way too early last summer. So dad, this is for you. HE HOLDS THE TITLE IN THE AIR AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. Now with that being said, I wanted to come out here and tell each and every one of my Pyromaniacs that I am going to defend this title with pride. I am going to defend it against anyone who wants a shot, in any kind of match. So again, thank you to all you guys, I...... JUST THEN, PYROMANIA TURNS AND IS CROWNED WITH A BAMBOO STICK SWUCK BY PSYMIN WHO SNUCK IN THROUGH THE AUDIENCE. PSYMIN THEN STARES DOWN AT HIM BEFORE LEAVING AS
TERRI RUSHES OVER TO CHECK ON HIM. J.R.: "My god, what was that for"?! Lawler: "Wow! Did you hear that shot"?! J.R.: "Yes I heard it, it rang throughout this building but what the hell is Psymin interrupting this great moment for"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR NIKE GOLF FEATURING TIGER WOODS IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS RAW RETURNS, THE SIX PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH HAS STARTED.
J.R.: "We're back on RAW folks and while you were away, the six person tag team match started and take a look at this". Lawler: "I can't believe this J.R."! A REPLAY SHOWS CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK USING THEMSELVES TO LAUNCH ALEX MIRAN ON TOP OF CIVIL RIGHTS WHO WERE OUTSIDE THE RING. 6 person tag team match
Chuck Palumbo, Shawn Stasiak and Alexandria Miran vs. Shelton Benjamin, D'Lo Brown and Jazz w/ Teddy Long
The action was furious and all over the ring in this one as referee Mike Chioda had a tough time keeping control. Shelton Benjamin had Chuck Palumbo in the ring and he was putting the boots to him after outworking him on the mat. He then tagged in D'Lo who kept the pressure on with his shaky, shaky legdrop. After a belly to belly suplex, D'Lo tagged in Jazz who
brought herself into the ring from the apron with a slingshot legdrop. She then turned and took a cheap shot at Miran, knocking her to the floor. But a surge of energy allowed Palumbo to tag in Stasiak and
he came in, ready to unload on Jazz. But he thought twice and let her go. She tagged in Benjamin and he and Stasiak had a great series. But after hitting a reverse ddt, Stasiak went for the cover, only to have Jazz break it up. Miran came in and went right at Jazz, hitting her with some hard forearms as all 6 competitors got in the ring. But seeing an oppurtunity, Long saw that Chioda wasn't looking and he pulled something out of his coat and sprayed it
in Stasiak's eyes. It appeared to be mace. Jazz then dropped him with a ddt and covered him for the pin. Match Time: 8:36 J.R.: "What the hell was that! Teddy Long sprayed something in his eyes"! Lawler: "What? I didn't see that,
are you sure"? J.R.: "Oh the hell you didn't King, it was clear as day! This was a classic case of the referee losing control of the match, Jazz wasn't even legal for christ sakes"! Lawler: "Get over it J.R., it's not like they haven't been cheated
all night and Miran, you better be ready cause Jazz definitely is"! J.R.: "Well that match is scheduled to happen sometime soon but when it does, make sure Long doesn't have any damn mace"! BACKSTAGE....
TRIPLE H's DRESSING ROOM.... TRIPLE H IS STANDING IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, ADMIRING HIS TAG TEAM BELTS IN THE MIRROR. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO REALIZE THE PRESENCE OF THE CAMERA. Triple H: (to himself) "A triple threat huh Steph? You seem to forget that no matter what the circumstance, I still can name anyone, anyone I want as a co-holder of these". HE PATS THE TITLES AS THE SCENE CUTS BACK TO RINGSIDE.
A HORN SOUNDS OFF AND SMOKE BLOWS UP THE SIDES OF THE SET AS THE A-TRAIN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Lawler: "What's taht supposed to mean"? J.R.: "I don't know but we will find out who that co-holder will be in tonight's main
event but right now, here comes the A-Train, the man who found out he's not the biggest train in the TWF at Evil Intentions". THE HARVARD FIGHT SONG HITS AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COMES OUT TO A HOARD OF BOOS WITH THE GENIUS. Lawler: "He and Nowinski are ready to make a statement here tonight and redeem themselves J.R.". J.R.: "Well The Genius has got the mic, what's he gonna do, give a spelling test"? The Genius: "I used to love the state of Illinois until I had to actually come here. Back when I was wrestling, the fans were as ignorant as anywhere you could go and as I can tell, things haven't changed". Christopher Nowinski: "Of course things haven't changed because the people of Illinois are still inbreeding! THE CROWD's BOOS ARE GROWING VERY LOUD. I mean, the universities in this state are the furthest cry from Harvard I've ever seen. And the Chicago Bears? Are they even an NFL team anymore? I mean, they played on a college field last year? Let's get seriois people, as the old saying goes.....
JUST THEN, NOWINSKI IS CUT OFF BY THE REVVING OF AN ENGINE AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AS HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Thank god"! Lawler: "Ah come on, I wanted to hear the rest of that"! AS HIGH OCTANE IS WALKING DOWN THE RAMP,
NOWINSKI GOES AFTER HIM AND THEY EXCHANGE SHOTS. FINALLY, NOWINSKI ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING WHERE THE A-TRAIN BEGINS TO WORK ON HIM. BUT THEN, "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP AND DROPS THE WORLD
TITLE ON THE RAMP. Strife and "High Octane" Damion West vs. A-Train and Christopher Nowinski w/ The Genius Strife got in the ring and went right after A-Train, backing him to the corner with some haymakers.
Nowinski got up and went after Strife but he was spun around by High Octane who laid into him with some right hands. High Octane and Strife then combined to take out the Harvard grad with a double clothesline. But A-Train caught Strife with his big scissor kick when he turned around. High Octane jumped
on his back, trying to put him away with a sleeper but A-Train backed him into the corner and then flung him over his head to the mat. A-Train then used the corner and climbed to the middle rope before coming off with a slinging splash. He hooked the leg but Strife came in just in time for the save. As Strife
and A-Train traded heavy blows, Nowinski snuck up on High Octane and tried to whip him to the ropes. But Octane reversed it and went for the "Head on Collision". But when Nowinski ducked, it tagged A-Train and knocked him through the ring ropes to the floor. But Nowinski came from behind and tossed Octane
over the ropes before having the same done to him by Strife. Strife followed and all 4 men were on the floor, brawling. Nowinski and Octane had gone all the way into the crowd fighting as A-Train and Strife battled up the ramp. Referee Jack Doan had no choice but to count them all out, ending the match. Match
Time: 7:12 THE MATCH WAS OVER BUT THE FIGHT WASN'T. AFTER TOSSING NOWINSKI BACK OVER THE BARRICADE, HIGH OCTANE TRIED TO GO AFTER HIM BUT GOT A CHAIR SHOT IN THE FACE FROM THE GENIUS. NOWINSKI THEN CLIPPED STRIFE's RIGHT LEG FROM BEHIND, ALLOWING A-TRAIN TO GRAB THE WORLD TITLE AND CLUB HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH IT. A-TRAIN THEN DROPPED THE BELT ON STRIFE's CHEST AND THE 3 MEN LEFT TOGETHER TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "This match is over, get security out here"! Lawler: "The match may have ended in a double count out, but Nowinski and Strife won the war"! J.R.: "With some help from that damn Genius"! BACKSTAGE..... STEPHANIE COMES OUT OF HER OFFICE AND STARTS MARCHING DOWN THE HALL WHEN THE UNDERTAKER COMES UP. Undertaker: "Hey Steph". Stephanie: "Yes".
Undertaker: "Listen, I know this is gonna sound odd, but don't suspend Nails and ZeroEx". Stephanie: "I have to, they beat the hell out of Hawk and Animal". Undertaker: "Exactly, and I'm gonna return the favor, Undertaker style". STEPHANIE DOESN'T SEEM TO LIKE THE IDEA. Stephanie: "But then.....
Undertaker: "Just tust me, they need to feel my kind of justice". Stephanie: "Oh I guess". Undertaker: "Good". UNDERTAKER WALKS ON AS RAW GOES TO IT's LAST COMMERCIAL BREAK..... COMMERCIAL BREAK... A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE... AS RAW RETURNS, THE SOUND OF A SIREN IS HEARD ALONG WITH "HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME" AS SCOTT STEINER COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "We're back
on RAW folks and it's time for our triple threat main event". Lawler: "This it is J.R., time to find out who's gonna hold the RAW tag team titles with
Triple H and look at Steiner, he's in great shape. He's gotta be the favorite here". JOHN CENA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS.
J.R.: "Well he and Triple H did form this group which has crumbled right before our eyes tonight, but don't count out the two young studs in this one".
Lawler: "We're gonna take everybody back in case they're just tuning in to show them how this one came about tonight, take a look"!
Steiner: "Look! I was the one who started this with Hunter! RAW was made our personal stomping grounds, then we picked you to up! And lately, it's been me who's helped you to get to where you are"! "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND STEPHANIE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.
Lawler: "Oh here we go, here comes the boss"! J.R.: "I think business just picked up folks".
Stephanie McMahon: "Ya know, you three just gave me a great idea. It's been awhile since we had a triple threat on RAW. So tonight, in that very ring, it'll be Scott Steiner versus Randy Ortoni versus John Cena and the winner becomes the other half of the RAW tag team champions"! "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AGAIN AND STEPHANIE GOES BACKSTAGE AS THE 3 MEN LOOK AROUND AT EACH OTHER. TRIPLE H STILL HAS THE GRIN ON HIS FACE. RIGHT AS THE FOOTAGE IS
DONE ROLLING, RANDY ORTON APPEARS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND DROPKICKS CENA IN THE BACK. THE BELL SOUNDS AS STEINER SWINGS WITH A CLOTHESLINE BUT MISSES.
Triple Threat Match Winner earns 1/2 of RAW tag team titles Scott Steiner vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena Orton had the upperhand early after drilling Steiner with his dropkick. He went to the top rope looking for his cross body block on him but Cena recovered and
back into the ring ropes, taking him down. Cena then hit a high impact superplex on Orton and covered him but Steiner broke up the pin. Steiner and Cena then traded shots until Cena reversed an irish whip and sent Steiner right into Orton. Cena then rolled Steiner up for the 1.....2......, but Steiner powered out. After ducking a clothesline from Cena, Steiner delivered a belly to belly suplex
before dropping Orton with a Steiner line. He tried to hook in the "Steiner Recliner" on Cena but Orton got up and dropkicked him again. Late in the match, Cena went for a backdrop suplex on Orton
but Orton countered it right into the "O-Zone", a tremendous move. But the oppurtunistic Steiner clotheslined Orton in the back of the head and covered Cena as referee Earl Hebner made the 3 count.
Match Time: 12:46 Lawler: "Steiner did it! Was that a royal predicition or what J.R."?! THE SIRENS AGAIN BLARED AS STEINER's MUSIC HIT. HE THEN FLEXED HIS HUGE MUSCLES FOR THE CROWD. J.R.: "Steiner has won the triple threat! Is RAW now back to the stomping grounds of he and the game"? OFF AIR....
