AS UPRISING COMES ON THE AIR, JACKIE GAYDA IS SHOWN IN HER DRESSING ROOM, LOOKING AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR. SHE IS WEARING A LONG, FLOWERED DRESS AND DOES NOT SEEM TO COMFORTABLE AS SHE BRUSHERS HER HAIR. SUDDENLY, GOLDUST COMES INTO VIEW IN THE MIRROR AND SHE STOPS BRUSHING HER HAIR. Jackie Gayda: "What the hell are you doing in here"? Goldust: (puts a finger to his mouth) "Shhh, don't be alarmed. I was just taken aback by your stunning beauty. I mean, who wants to see you all covered up. You have style, you have class and you're not being able to show it. Ohhh, I'm starting to get all warm and fuzzy..... JUST THEN, MATT TAYLOR ENTERS. Matt Taylor: "Look but don't touch you filthy..... Goldust: "Filthy what? Does the lord prevent you from..... Taylor: "The lord doesn't prevent me from throwin' you a beating which is what I'm gonna do in just a few minutes". Goldust: "Is that right? Well watch Miss Jackie over there because one thing is for sure. She will never forget the name of (inhales) Goldust". GOLDUST LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AS THE SHOT SHIFTS TO ONE OF THE ARENA SKYBOXES WHERE THE HONKY TONK MAN AND AL SNOW ARE POSITIONED. Al Snow: "Goldust and Matt Taylor are gonna square off later tonight and we also have a big six man tag Honky that will feature the TWF Toughman champion"! Honky Tonk Man: "Well you can't blame Goldust. He may be a little odd but Jackie is hot and her in that long dress? That ain't right". Snow: "We are just about a half an hour away from TWF RAW which will emanate from right here in Portland and it's gonna be live and off the charts Honky"! HTM: "We've got a chain match for the World title and the Ruler of RAW tournament continues with more qualifying matches so you don't wanna go anywhere"! Snow: "The TWF brings you action like no one else anywhere and that's what we're ready for now on Uprising so let's go to the ring". Chavo Guerrero vs. D'Lo Brown w/ Teddy Long D'Lo used the power advantage he had to wear down Chavo but after a dropkick to the knee, Chavo went to the top rope. Teddy Long grabbed his foot but he shook him off. D'Lo came in with a shot to the gut and then tried to superplex him off but when they landed, Chavo hooked D'Lo's feet and got his own shoulders up as the ref made the 3 count. Goldust vs. Matt Taylor w/ Jackie Gayda Taylor came out all fired up and took it to Goldust. But after the ref took a bump, Goldust got in the Shattered Dreams which really slowed Taylor down. Jackie got on the apron and Goldust planted a kiss on here when Taylor came from behind with a backdrop suplex. He then whipped him to the corner and charged in but Goldust moved and then caught him with a quick powerslam to get the win. 6 man tag Austin Pyromania, Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak vs. Psymin and Anarchy, Inc. This was a great way to close out Uprising as there was action everywhere. Pyromania and Nails had a great series in which Pyromania took a pounding but came back with a spinwheel kick. Later, the match broke out and all 6 men were in the ring. Pyromania caught ZeroEx with a clothesline that took them both to the floor and Nails and Stasiak traded shots out there as well. In the ring, Psymin had his bamboo stick and he took a wild swing at Palumbo but missed. When he turned around, Chuck stuck him with his superkick and hooked both legs to get the 1...2....3. Snow: "What a win for that trio and maybe that'll help Palumbo and Stasiak get back on track"! HTM: "Pyromania has his Ruler of RAW qualification match next week on RAW against the man he took that Toughman title from.... Spawn"! Snow: "We have three qualifying matches tonight on RAW including what should be a classic between High Octane and Eddie Guerrero! Don't turn that channel folks, keep it on TNN, TWF RAW is next"!
THE RAW LOGO POPS UP AND THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW WHERE BAHAMUT IS STANDING IN THE RING. Bahamut: "I know all you idiots are here to see a chain match for the World title. THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER. Well I got bad news, it's not gonna happen! Strife offered me a shot at the title last week and since I am and always have been better than him, I'm gonna take it! So why in the hell does A-Train get a shot? I mean.... JUST THEN, "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. Jim Ross: "Business is picking up in a hurry here on RAW"! Jerry Lawler: "Strife has a world title match tonight to worry about, he may not wanna come out here"! Strife: "I said I'd give you a title match, I didn't say when"! Bahamut: "Strife, ever since we've know each other, everyone knows I am better than you! You carrying around that title is a joke! It should be mine"! Strife: "Well I didn't say when I'd give you a title match, but I'll whip your ass anytime"! STRIFE THROWS DOWN THE MIC AND STARTS TOWARD THE RING WHEN HE IS AMBUSHED FROM BEHIND BY A-TRAIN WHO HAS A CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS FIST. J.R.: "Are you kidding me? Was this another damn set up"?! Lawler: "I don't know, but for the second week in a row, the A-Train is wearing out the World champ"! FINALLY, SECURITY COMES OUT AND PULLS A-TRAIN OFF A BLOODY STRIFE. J.R.: "Strife's got a World title match with A-Train later but is he even gonna be able to go"?!
"ACROSS THE NATION" HITS AS THE MONTAGE FOR RAW ROLLS, SHOWING ALL IT's SUPERSTARS INCLUDING NEW SHOTS OF STRIFE, CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI DOING "EXTRA CREDIT" AND THE SURGING A-TRAIN. THE DIVISION's NEW SOLE ENFORCER, SHAWN MICHAELS IS SHOWN LAST BEFORE THE LOUD ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AND FIREWROKS POP OFF ON THE SET FOR A GOOD 10 SECONDS. J.R.: "The Rose Garden in Portland is rockin' as we are live for TWF RAW and King, we already had some fireworks just moments ago"! Lawler: "I'm told by my sources that Strife is being tended to backstage for the cuts he just suffered at the hands of A-Train! We're gonna have a new champion tonight"! "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH HITS AND NEMESIS APPEARS WEARING A BLACK TRENCH COAT AND CARRYING A BASEBALL BAT. J.R.: "That match is scheduled for a little later but right now, we've got a qualifying match for the Ruler of RAW tournament and this man has to be one of the clear cut favorites"! Lawler: "Parting ways with Sam Wilde was the best decision Nemesis has made in his tumultuous TWF career and if I were a betting man, my money would be on him"! TOMMY DREAMER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Last week we saw Nemesis and Nathan Jones set up Tommy Dreamer and Sam Wilde, their opponents in the qualifying round, looking to gain an early advantage and Dreamer looks focused King". Lawler: "He better be! It's not gonna be easy to knock off Nemesis"! Before the bell sounded, Dreamer attacked Nemesis with some shots to the back. Nemesis slowly turned around before taking a wild swing but Dreamer ducked and got in some jabs. He then bounced off the ropes and went for a reverse bulldog but Nemesis tossed him across the ring. He then moved in with some overhand rights before driving his elbow into the side of the head. After a gutwrench suplex, Nemesis hit a high elevation legdrop and went for the cover. Dreamer was able to get a shoulder up at 2. Nemesis then whipped him into the ropes but caught a hard kick to the chest when he put his head down too early. Nemesis fired back with a clothesline but Dreamer ducked and bounced off the ropes only to get a kick to the stomach. Nemesis then lifted him up for the "Shut Down" but Dreamer struggled out of it and hit a perfect DDT. Instead of topping him, he walked across the middle ring rope and went for the cover but Nemesis kicked out at 2. Dreamer then went to the top rope and came flying off but Nemesis stuck a boot right in his face. He then picked him up and this time, delivered the "Shut Down" to get the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 5:58 J.R.: "Oh that's it! Nemesis has survived a game Tommy Dreamer and has qualified for the Ruler of RAW tournament"! Lawler: "Who's gonna stop him J.R.?! We may be looking at the first ever Ruler of RAW"! BACKSTAGE.... BILLY GUNN HAS JUST SIGNED AN AUTOGRAPH FOR A FEMALE FAN AND STARTS TO WALK AWAY WHEN HE BUMPS INTO TRIPLE H. Triple H: "Hey there Billy, can you watch where you're going please"? Billy Gunn: "Oh, if it isn't Hunter Hearst Helmsley, a guy I used to call my friend. Listen, if you think I've forgotten what you did to me in that ring a few weeks ago, you're wrong. So how bout we settle it in the ring, for old times sake". Triple H: (laughs) "That's a compelling statement Billy but seriously, you're not in my league! But if you want a fight that bad, I know a guy who has made a living kicking ass. So if you want it that bad, be in that ring in about five minutes". TRIPLE H WALKS AWAY AS RAW GOES TO COMMERCIAL BREAK. COMMERCIAL...... A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... J.R.: "We're back on RAW and guess what.... Civil Rights has got the floor". RON KILLINGS IS IN THE RING HOLDING A LEATHER STRAP AS TEDDY LONG BEGINS TO SPEAK. Teddy Long: "Last week, you people witnessed one of the most dispicable incidents in the history of RAW! If you think Hulk Hogan deserved a win over brother Killings here, you're dead wrong! Now I know the man was sitting somewhere wearing a red and yellow Hulkamania t-shirt, sayin' his prayers and eatin' his damn vitamins! But behind all that crap, the man was happy because the great white hype prevailed! Well Hogan, brother
Killings ain't gonna go away that easy! Because he knows that the man also got a big kick out of Austin's music playing during the match, which by the way,
is the only reason you won! So Hogan, I ain't askin', I'm....... JUST THEN, THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY WILD WHEN "REAL AMERICAN" HITS AND HULK
HOGAN COMES OUT. Lawler: "Oh what is so good about this guy?! These people must all be related to the man"! Hulk Hogan: "Yack, yack, yack Teddy Long!
What do you think would happen if you ever shut your damn trap! These people are tired of spending their hard earned money to come and here you talk about how
the man has held you guys down! But what you really need..... Ron Killings: "Hey Hogan, the truth is you won because of the damn man! So why don't you show how much of a hero you are and get in here with me again tonight, in a strap match"! J.R.: "Killings has laid down the challenge"! KILLINGS HOLDS UP THE STRAP. Hogan: "Hey, if one beating
wasn't enough, I'd be glad to hand out another one! You're on"! "REAL AMERICAN" HITS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. J.R.: "There ya have it! Hogan accepts"! Lawler: "I don't know
how wise a move that was on Hogan's part"! BACKSTAGE.... NATHAN JONES IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESS ROOM, MADITATING WHEN NEMESIS ENTERS. Nemesis: "One down". Nathan Jones: "Good..... very good". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "I GOT IT ALL" HITS AND BILLY GUNN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "What is the connection between those two"? Lawler: "They're both very demented J.R.". MALICE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT WITH HIS TAG TEAM BELT. J.R.: "Well speaking of demented, here comes the man Triple H handpicked to be his co-holder of the RAW tag team titles and Billy Gunn's in a lot of trouble here". Lawler: "He has no one to blame for that but himself"! Billy Gunn vs. Malice This was a great match! After the initial tie up, Malice took a swing but missed and Gunn snuck in a few short jabs. He then went for an irish whip but Malice reversed it and went for a boot to the face. But Gunn caught his foot and swept out the other one before delivering an elbow to the groin. Gunn then employed a smart strategy, working hard on the legs of Malice. After yanking the right leg awkwardly, Gunn flipped over and Malice was in a lot of pain. Gunn then pulled him up and hooked him in for a suplex but Malice countered it and threw Gunn across the ring by the neck. He then scooped him up and delivered the sname eyes before bouncing off the ropes and kicking him right in the face. Malice then raised his arms and a few moments later, he set him on the top rope, in position for the top rope chokeslam but Gunn kicked him in the mouth. Malice took a step back which allowed Gunn to come off the top rope with the "Fame-Asser" and then hooked the leg to get the 3 count. Match Time: 8:30 "I GOT IT ALL" HIT AS REFEREE MIKE CHIODA RAISED BILLY's ARM. J.R.: "He got him! Oh what an athletic move by Billy Gunn"! Lawler: "Look out, here comes the game"! JUST THEN, THE MUSIC STOPPED WHEN TRIPLE H CAME INTO THE RING AND NAILED GUNN WITH HIS TAG TEAM TITLE BELT. TRIPLE H AND MALICE WERE READY TO DO SOME DAMAGE WHEN SCOTT STEINER CAME OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. HE DUCKED A CLOTHESLINE FROM MALICE AND KNOCKED HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH ONE OF HIS OWN AND THEN HIT TRIPLE H WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. TRIPLE H ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AS THE CAMERAS GOT A SHOT OF A BANDAGE ON THE FOREHEAD OF STEINER, DUE TO LAST WEEK's ASSAULT. Lawler: "What is Steiner thinking about? Hasn't he had enough"?! SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC PLAYED AND THE SIRENS BLARED AS TRIPLE H AND MALICE RETREATED. J.R.: "It's called revenge and look at the champions head for the hills! This is far from over King"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... RANDY ORTON AND RIC FLAIR ARE TALKING TO A COUPLE SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN WHEN JOHN CENA COMES UP. John Cena: "Yo Randy, I got something to say to you". Ric Flair: "Hey, can't ya see the man is busy? I mean, when you roll with the nature boy, you're stylin' and profilin' baby". Cena: "I didn't ask for and I sure as hell didn't want your help last week dawg"! Randy Orton: "Okay then, it's cool. But I know how far I'm going in the Ruler of RAW tournament, it'd be nice to see you there as well". Cena: "Oh, because Flair here said so"? Flair: "For your information punk, I've been wrestling since before you were born! And I've seen a lot of wrestlers in muy time, WOOOOOO, but none of them have ever stood out more glaringly than this man here, Randy Orton". Orton: "This man's a living legend". Cena: "Oh yeah? Well I've already qualified for the tournament and in the first round, I get to face another so called legend. I hope you two watch what I do to him". CENA WALKS AWAY AS RAW GOES TO BREAK. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL OFR THE YUKON DENALI BY GMC IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE TWF EVENTS CALENDAR FOR THE REST OF JULY. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS RAW RETURNS, THE ROAD WARRIORS ARE BACKSTAGE WHEN VICTORIA APPROACHES THEM. SHE STARTS CLAPPING. Victoria: "I must say, great performance last week". Hawk: "What do you want"? Victoria: "What I want? I don't want anything. But my boys, Doug and Danny Basham, they do. They want a match with you two next week on RAW". Animal: "Tell those two they're on". JUST THEN, THE BASHAM's COME FROM BEHIND AND ATTACK THE RAOD WARRIORS, LEAVING THEM LAYING. BACK AT RINGSIDE, NATHAN JONES' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "So next week it'll be the Road Warriors versus the Bashams and the Basham's just tried to gain an early advantage, much like this monster did last week"! Lawler: "That was a smart move by the Bashams and next week J.R., I have a feeling they're gonna make the Road Warriors regret coming back to the ring"! SAM WILDE's THEME BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS CHOIR HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "This will be our second of three Ruler of RAW qualification matches and this man was the victim of the attck by Jones but King, what does Wilde have to do to survive tonight"? Lawler: "Run"! Ruler of RAW Qualification Match Nathan Jones vs. Sam Wilde As the bell sounded, Wilde stood still as Jones approached. Jones lunged at him but Wilde moved and caught him with 2 quick rights. He then bounced off the ropes and caught him with a dropkick to the knee. Wilde used his speed to his advantage much of the match and frustrated the big man with an attack focused on his lower half. After slipping off Jones' shoulder, Wilde bounced off the ropes and went for a crucifix takedown but Jones just fell backward with a samoan drop. He then whipped him to the ropes and kicked him right in the chest. Jones went for the cover but didn't put enough on it and Wilde was up after 2. After a vertical suplex, Jones bounced off the ropes and went for a legdrop but Wilde rolled out of the way. Realizing this was his chance, Wilde went to the top rope and came off with a cross body. But Jones caught him in mid air and went for a scoop slam but Wilde landed on his feet only to be clobbered by a clothesline. Jones then picked him up and just dropped him from way up with a powerbomb, similar to the Jacknife and he covered Wilde for the 3 count. Match Time: 5:29 Lawler: "Two down for Nemesis and Jones"! J.R.: "Nathan Jones has joined Nemesis as one of the eight finalists in the Ruler of RAW tournament and the trail of destruction continues for the Collossus of Boggo Road"! BACKSTAGE..... TEDDY LONG AND RON KILLINGS COME ACROSS RIC FLAIR AND RANDY ORTON. Flair: "Hey boys, good luck against Hogan tonight". Long: "Oh right, like you're pulling for us. Hogan's the white boy". Flair: "Look man, this ain't a black and white thing, no matter how much you wanna make it one". Long: "Oh yeah? Well then how come you endorsed this white boy here as the Ruler of RAW? Let me tell you somethin' Flair, your boy faces The Truth next week in the qualifying round and you might call him the Ruler of RAW, but I like to call The Truth here the black nature boy, ya feel me? So next week, we'll see who the future of RAW really is or better yet, what color, black or white"? TWF RE-WIND SHOWS THE CLASH AT THE TOP OF THE BROADCAST BETWEEN BAHAMUT, STRIFE AND A-TRAIN. STEAM BILLOWS OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF THE ENTRY RAMP AND A-TRAIN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT WITH A CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS WRIST. J.R.: "For those of you who've never witnessed a chain match, they can be as brutal as any other and what an oppurtunity for the A-Train King". Lawler: "I really believe this is the night J.R.! Strife's gonna have to reach way down to pull this one off"! "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS BUT STRIFE DOESN'T COME OUT. J.R.: "Oh I was afraid of this. Strife's injuries must've kept him..... Lawler: "Oh look out"! STRIFE POPS UP IN THE RING, BEHIND A-TRAIN AND HITS HIM WITH CONSECUTIVE CLOTHESLINES. REFEREE JACK DOAN HANDS HIM THE OTHER END OF THE CHAIN AND HE WRAPS IT AROUND HIS WRIST AS THE BELL SOUNDS. TWF World Title/Chain Match Challenger.... A-Train vs. Strife This turned into a great title macth, forcing the champ to show his metal. After taking in the early attack to start the match, A-Train used the chain to clothesline Strife and then he wrapped it around his neck before throwing him over the top rope, forcing a hanging action. Strife struggled to get free as A-Train came out of the ring and pulled him to the floor by his feet. A-Train was relentless as he constantly used the chain as a weapon. Strife was bleeding pretty badly and things weren't looking good until he used the chain to pull A-Train right into the steel post. He then used the chain and rubbed it across A-Train's face. Both men got back into the ring and after bouncing off the ropes, Strife was caught with a sidewalk slam. A-Train hooked the leg but only got a 2 count. He then whipped him to the corner and followed in with an avalanche before using the ropes to hit a slinging body splash but again, he only got a 2 count. A-Train lifted Strife onto his shoulders for the Train Wreck but Strife slipped off and ran into the ropes. A-Train went for his bicycle kick but the champ saw it coming and sidestepped him before delivering a full nelson slam to get the 1......2.....3. Match Time: 11:33 "GET OFF MY TRACKS" HIT AGAIN AS STRIFE WAS HANDED THE WORLD TITLE. HIS FACE COVERED IN BLOOD, HE GOT ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND RAISED IT AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERED. J.R.: "Strife has again proven his toughness and again proven that he is one of the better champions the TWF has ever seen! What a fight"! Lawler: "I'm surprised to see him come out of this one J.R., that was impressive"! J.R.: "The fans are showing their support for the Locomotive who is still the World champ! Don't go anywhere folks"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR 7 UP IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... TWF RE-WIND... SHOWS THE "EXTRA CREDIT" SEGMENT LAST WEEK WHERE AKASHA HIT CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI WITH A RIGHT HAND. BLACK SMOKE SLOWLY APPEARS IN THE ENTRANCEWAY AS SPAWN's EERIE THEME HITS AND HE AND AKASHA APPEAR AND MAKE THEIR WAY OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. J.R.: "Welcome back to RAW everyone as you take a look at the dangerous Reign of Darkness on their way to the ring for what should be a most unique tag team encounter"! Lawler: "Akasha took some offense to Nowinski's comment about her not faring well against the men here on RAW J.R. and she's setting out to change that tonight"! THE HARVARD FIGHT SONG HITS AND THE SCHOOL LOGO APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AS CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI AND THE GENIUS COME OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. J.R.: "Not only that, but Akasha and Nowinski meet next week in a Ruler of RAW qualification match"! Lawler: "So does this mean there's no "Extra Credit" tonight"? J.R.: "Fraid so King". Spawn and Akasha vs. Christopher Nowinski and The Genius The Genius was about to read another of his poems when he was attacked from behind by Akasha. Nowinski spun her around and threw a clothesline but she ducked and pushed him right into a big boot from Spawn. Still ih his cap and gown, The Genius was being womanhandled by Akasha. But when she missed with a clothesline off an irish whip, The Genius scored with a flying back elbow. He made the tag to Nowinski and after a double suplex, Nowinski whipped Akasha to the corner and delivered a back body drop. The Genius and the Harvard grad worked very well together, forcing the angel with black wings to take in a lot of punishment. After a gutwrench suplex, Nowinski tagged in the Genius who whipped Akasha to the corner and came in with a tumbling backflip splash. He then whipped her to the ropes and went for a leapfrog but Akasha pulled him out of mid air with a hard powerslam. She then tagged in the dominating Spawn who changed the complexion of the match. After a sideslam on the Genius, he drilled Nowinski with a clothesline before whipping him to the ropes and catching him with a big boot. From behind, The Genius jumped onto his shoulders, trying to lock in a sleeper hold but Spawn countered by flipping him over his shoulders. As Akasha an d Nowinski slugged it out on the floor, Spawn delivered the "Spawn Driver" to The Genius and hooked the leg for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:23 J.R.: "That Spawn Driver is an awesome move folks and they may have knocked some of those intelligent brain cells The Genius claims to have loose". Lawler: "Next week Nowinski's gotta face Akasha but Austin Pyromania, I hope you're ready because Spawn has his sights set on winning the Ruler of RAW and your first in his way"! JUST THEN, A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH THE ANARCHY RULZ LOGO. IT HAS STRIFE WITH THE WORLD TITLE ON ONE SIDE AND BAHAMUT WEARING HIS "WHAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF" TISHIRT ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "Well get this folks, just announced for Anarchy Rulz, the old friends and tag team partners are gonna lock horns once again, this time for all the marbles"! Lawler: "That's gonna be explosive J.R., I hope the place is big enough to hold it"! "LATINO HEAT" HITS AND EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "And speaking of Anarchy Rulz, Eddie and his nephew Chavo Guerrero are gonna face La Resistance in a tag team flag match"! Lawler: "So if Eddie can advance tonight, he'll be in more than one match"? "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" BLARES OVER THE PA AND AN ENGINE REVS LOUDLY AS HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT AND RECEIVES A HUGE POP. J.R.: "He could be in up to four matches that night but he's gotta get by this guy first and folks, this is gonna be a dandy"! Lawler: "The ring savvy of Eddie Guerrero versus the upcoming star High Octane". Ruler of RAW Qualification Match Eddie Guerrero vs. "High Octane" Damion West As expected, this was an in ring classic. After the feeling out process, Guerrero went for a takedown but was knocked back by the quick, educated feet of West. Octane then whipped him to the ropes and performed a leapfrog before falling to his back and launching Guerrero into the ring ropes with a monkey flip. He then went to the top rope and tried tro come off with a bulldog but Guerrero held the top rope and West landed hard on his knee. Guerrero then torqued the knee in several painful looking positions, including wrapping it around the post. Eddie went for the "Lasso of El Paso" but Octane countered it into a roll up but only got a 2 count. Off an irish whip, Octane went for a wheel kick but Eddie dropkicked him right in the back. He then came off the top rope with a gorgeous sunset flip to get the 1.....2....., but Octane escaped in the nick of time. After a hard powerslam, Eddie went up top, looking for the Frog Splash. But Octane had it scouted and there was nobody home. After a swinging neckbreaker, Octane went to the top rope and hit the Octane 450 Splash amd hooked the leg but amazingly, Guerrero kicked out. Astonished, West bounced off the ropes but Guerrero caught him with a stiff european uppercut followed by his brainbuster like suplex. He then went to the apron and completed a flying helo before hooking the leg to get 1.....2....., but again, Octane was up. After reversing an irish whip, Octane went for a hurricanrana but Eddie caught him and turned it into a sit down powerbomb as cameras showed William Regal coming out. Eddie smacked his chest and screamed "Odule" before climbing the turnbuckle. But before he could come off, Rene Dupree cracked him across the back with the French flag as Regal had referee Mike Sparks' attention. After Guerrero landed, Octane quickly rolled him up with a small package to get the 3 count. Match Time: 9:40 AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYED, LA RESISTANCE AND REGAL LEFT, WAVING THE FRENCH FLAG. J.R.: "I can't believe this! After witnessing two men put it all on the line in one hell of a battle, it ends like that"! Lawler: "Well it looks like High Octane is gonna show Guerrero some respect here". HIGH OCTANE STUCK HIS HAND OUT FOR GUERRERO TO SHAKE IT BUT INSTEAD, GUERRERO DRILLED HIM WITH A HARD CLOTHESLINE. HE THEN LOCKED IN THE "LASSO FROM EL PASO". J.R.: "What the hell is this"?! Lawler: "Latino heat has snapped"! SEVERAL TWF OFFICIALS AND OTHER REFEREE's FINALLY CAME OUT TO PULL GUERRERO OFF AS "LATINO HEAT" HIT. J.R.: "You're right King, Eddie Guerrero snapped. And it's all because of that no good Regal and La Resistance"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PREVIEW FOR BAD BOYS II IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... A-TRAIN IS SHOWN PACING BACK AND FORTH WHEN BAHAMUT COMES UP. Bahamut: "Look big man, don't knock yourself, he got lucky". A-Train: "I had him! Bahamut: "Well at Anarchy Rulz, I've got him right where I want him". A-TRAIN TAKES HIS CHAIN AND OFFERS IT TO BAHAMUT. Bahamut: "Nah man, I don't need that. I'm going to prove once and for all that I am better than him". BAHAMUT WALKS AWAY AS THE SCENE CUTS TO THE RING AND SHOWS TEDDY LONG LEADING RON KILLINGS OUT TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS THEME. KILLINGS IS HOLDING A LEATHER STRAP IN HIS HAND. JR.: "Bahamut has that match in just under two weeks but we're not done here tonight, here comes The Truth King". Lawler: "That's right J.R. and I can't wait till the truth sneaks up on Hogan and gives him a reality check"! "REAL AMERICAN" HITS AND THE ROOF BLOWS OFF AS HULK HOGAN COMES OUT. J.R.: "Oh my god! An overwhelming reaction for the Hulkster here in Portland"! Lawler: "They're all gonna be disappointed tonight J.R.! The Truth awaits him"! J.R.: "This is a leather strap match, one fall to the finish". Leather Strap Match Ron "The Truth" Killings w/ Brother Long vs. Hulk Hogan Before the bell rang, Hogan turned his back and Long pointed it out. Seizing the oppurtunity, Killings jumped him, beating him across the back with his strap. After several lashes, Killings pulled him up and hit an inverted atomic drop before using the strap to take him down with a cactus clothesline. He made the cover but Hogan was quickly up. Killings put the boots to his head and went for a whip to the corner. But Hogan reversed it and followed in with a heavy clothesline. He then removed his weightlifting belt and went to work on the back of Killings. After a scoop slam, Hogan bounced off the ropes but Long grabbed his foot. Hogan turned and pointed at Long but Killings came from behind with a lash across the back of his legs followed by a big elbow drop. Killings then went to the top rope and came off with a flying double axe handle, ala Randy Savage. Hogan was in a lot of trouble but Killings still couldn't get the 3 count. Killings hooked him up for a gutwrench suplex but Hogan blocked it and countered with a backdrop. The blood began pumping as Hogan delivered 3 hard right hands and whipped Killings to the ropes, connecting with his patented boot to the face. But out of nowhere came D'Lo Brown who entered the ring with a hard chair shot. A vicious 2 on 1 attack ensued and D'Lo and Killings were beating the hell out of Hogan. J.R.: "What the hell is this? Civil Rights is beating the tar out of Hogan"! Lawler: "And here comes Shelton Benjamin"! THE SCENE GREW MORE GRIM WHEN SHELTON BENJAMIN CAME OUT BUT TO EVERYONE's SURPRISE, HE PULLED KILLINGS AND D'LO OFF. KILLINGS RARED BACK AS IF TO HIT HIM BUT LONG SCREAMED FOR HIM NOT TO. TEDDY LONG THEN GOT D'LO AND KILLINGS OUT OF THE RING AND THEY WALKED AWAY AS BENJAMIN KNELT DOWN TO CHECK ON HOGAN. J.R.: "What the..... Lawler: "Is Benjamin crazy? Teddy Long made him! He can't do this"! J.R.: "Civil Rights may've taken their biggest blow yet"! OFF AIR......
