Madison, Wisconsin
Attendance: 16,384
The atmosphere was electric in Wisconsin as several great TWF fans came out in droves and most were there from the get go, taking in all the action which started with Uprising. Los Guerrero's vs. Christoher Nowinski and Goldust w/ The Genius and Jackie Gayda Two teams who fought to a double count out last week on RAW put on another great contest here on Uprising. The Genius and Jackie got involved as much as they could but Los Guerrero's were up to the task. After they took Goldust out of the ring with a double dropkick, Eddie got the Lasso from El Paso on Nowinski and he tapped out. mFw Match: Soul Reaper vs. Ernest "The Cat" Miller The Cat really riled the crowd up with his microphone skills but once the bell rang, he ran into a buzzsaw as mFw newcomer Soul Reaper outpowered him and put him away with the "Reaper Bomb". Fatal 4 way Elimination/#1 Contender for Women's Title With a shot at the Women's title on the line, these ladies went all out. About 5 minutes in, Lopez and Miran each hit hurricanrana's, Lopez on Victoria and Miran on Jazz and they pulled their legs forward for great leverage to get simultaneous pins. Miran and Lopez then had a great series one on one and Lopez went for the hurricanarana on Miran as well but Alex countered with a powerbomb and then rolled her up with a very unique pin to get the 1....2.....3 and a rematch with Gail Kim in the future. RAW GOES LIVE
SCENES FROM LAST WEEKKS RAW ARE SHOWN WITH ACTUAL COMMENTARY OF THE MAIN EVENT IN WHICH NEMESIS USED A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKS TO DEFEAT STRIFE AND BECOME #1 CONTENDER FOR THE WORLD TITLE. RAW's MONTAGE ROLLS SHOWING ALL IT's SUPERSTARS AS "ACROSS THE NATION HITS". THE ARENA IS THEN SHOWN BEING LACED IN FIREWORKS AND PYRO AS THE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD IS GETTING INTO THE OPENING. Jim Ross: "In one of our favorite venues, we are as live as live gets for TWF RAW and King, the Kohl Center is packed"! Jerry Lawler: "You said it's one of our favorite places to come and that's not just because of catering J.R., these people are great"! TOMMY DREAMER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP WITH HIS SINGAPORE CANE IN HAND. J.R.: "Over sixteen thousand fans in attendance tonight and we also thank those of you around the world watching RAW on Spike TV tonight and here comes Tommy Dreamer"! Lawler: "These people better cheer long and loud for Dreamer because tonight may be the last time they see him"! J.R.: "Tommy Dreamer may definitely be walking into a bad predicament here King but ya gotta admire his guts"! NATHAN JONES' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Lawler: "There he is"! J.R.: "This man dominated RAW before being injured but incase you forgot who he is, he is the Colossus of Boggo Road Nathan Jones, the most notorious inmate on Australian prison history and Tommy Dreamer has got a seven foot, three hundred and fifty pound maniac on his hands here"! Lawler: "Well Dreamer pormised Nathan Jones would be introduced to his Singapore cane.... he better start the introductions now"! Tommy Dreamer vs. Nathan Jones Dreamer showed no fear, coming at Jones right away but his initial shots had little to no affect. Jones fired back with a thrust to the throat followed by a big forearm shiver. He then picked him up and dropped him with a sidewalk slam. Jones pulled Dreamer up and shot him to the ropes but Dreamer ducked a clothesline, only to run into a big boot as she came off the other side. Jones then backed him into the corner with a series of right hands to the gut before connecting with an impressive martial arts spin kick, a technique few realize Jones can do. After a gutwrench suplex, Jones made a signal as if to put it away but Dreamer got in a quick thumb to the eye followed by a variation of the Diamond Cutter. Dreamer then extended both arms out and let out a scream as the fans came alive. Dreamer grabbed his Singapore cane and held it in the air, waiting for Jones to get up and when he did, he took a swing but Jones blocked the cane by kicking it in mid air and then knocked Dreamer down with a big clothesline. Jones then hit a devastating drop powerbomb that got him the win. Match Time: 6:19 Lawler: "Did you see that"?! J.R.: "This Nathan Jones is a menace, he's an animal and he's back on RAW.... beware". JONES WAS SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP WITH A DERANGED LOOK ON HIS FACE BEFORE THE CAMERAS WENT OUT TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE KURT ANGLE WAS STANDING IN A RED JUMPSUIT. Kurt Angle: "Come on Killings, I'll wait here all night for you to show your face". Lawler: "Kurt Angle's waiting for The Truth"! J.R.: "There's gonna be an explosion when Ron Killings arrives"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR TUPAC REVOLUTION IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAW RETURNS, A PROMO GRAPHIC IS ON THE SCREEN WITH SPAWN ON ONE SIDE AND SHAWN MICHAELS ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "Welcome back to RAW and what a main event we've got tonight, the Heartbreak Kid will face the demonic Spawn"! Lawler: "That match was set up by the game J.R. and oh, speaking of the game..... CAMERAS SHOWED A DOOR IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH TRIPLE H's LOGO ON IT. HE WAS INSIDE WITH THE BASHAM BROTHERS. Triple H: "Listen guys, I don't know who Benjamin's mystery guy is but I know he's got nothin' on the two of you so just pretend he's High Octane and take his ass out"! THE THREE MEN KNOCK FISTS WHEN STEPHANIE McMAHON ENTERS. Stephanie McMahon: "Hello boys, looks like I came at the right time". Triple H: "You better make it quick Steph, they've got a match next". Stephanie: "Oh, it'll be quick. Not as quick as you of course but quick. I just figured that the three of you would like to know that you'll be involved in a match together at Deadly Games". Triple H: "I didn't ask for a match"! Stephanie: "Well I put you in one. Your little vacation will be ending soon so I booked an elimination match with you three and Spawn against the team of High Octane, Shawn Michaels, Shelton Benjamin and his mystery tag team partner who you guys are gonna go meet right about now". STEPHANIE WALKS OUT OF THE OFFICE AND TRIPLE H KNOCKS A STACK OF PAPERS TO THE FLOOR. OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA..... NATHAN JONES IS WINDING DOWN AFTER HIS MATCH WHEN TEDDY LONG COMES UP. JONES GETS A LITTLE DEFENSIVE, PUTTING UP HIS HANDS. Teddy Long: "Whoa playa, calm down, ain't no need for that. Ya know, I just watched you thug and bug against that white boy Tommy Dreamer and I was just gonna tell you that with the right guidance, you'd be unstoppable". Nathan Jones: "It took ten prison guards to stop me. Who's gonna stop me in the TWF"? Long: "I'm just offering guidance, you think about it playa". LONG WALKS AWAY AS JONES LOOKS ON. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE BASHAM BROTHERS' MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT ALONG WITH A LEATHER CLAD VICTORIA TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "So we now know that Triple H will be involved in an elimination match with these two and Spawn at Deadly Games but get this folks, we have just been handed a note that says if Triple H's team doesn't win that match, Stephanie will personally revoke his status as enforcer of RAW"! Lawler: "Whoa.... does Triple H know that"?! SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "He doesn't even know who this man's tag team partner of the fourth member of the other team will be at Deadly Games"! SUDDENLY, MARK JINDRAK STEPS OUT TO A DECENT CHEER. Lawler: "Hey, isn't that Mark Jindrak"?! J.R.: "That sure is! Mark Jindrak who was just called up from mFw is the tag team partner of Shelton Benjamin and lemme tell ya folks, this kid's got a ton of talent"! Lawler: "Well the Basham's have been given specific orders and if they carry them out, these two won't even make it to Deadly Games"! J.R.: "Shelton Benjamin has had problems with Triple H for weeks and he's made a great choice for someone to help watch his back"! The Basham Brothers w/ Victoria vs. Shelton Benjamin and Mark Jindrak The bell sounded and Jindrak started things off with Danny Basham. The two locked up and Jindrak showed some strength, pushing Danny to the mat. Danny got up and threw a right hand but Jindrak blocked it and came back with 2 of his own before showing his athleticism with a dropkick in which he almost jumped over Danny. Jindrak then went for an irish whip but Danny reversed it only to catch a reverse flying clothesline after Jindrak jumped onto the ropes. He made the cover but Doug Basham came in and pulled him off. This drew Benjamin in and he caught Doug with a right hand before throwing a kick which Doug caught but Shelton used his other leg to pull off a beautiful spin kick. He and Jidrak then whipped Danny in and executed a gorgeous double backsweep. Benjamin went to his corner so Jindrak could tag him in but Victoria got up on the apron, providing the distraction the Basham's needed to stop the bleeding as Danny came with a knee to the small of the back followed by a backdrop suplex. He then tagged in Doug who hit a big legdrop on Benjamin and went into a cover but only got a 1 and a half count. Doug then whipped him to the ropes and hit a back elbow before turning and just kicking Jindrak right in the face, saliva flying from Jindrak's mouth. Doug then tagged out and he and Danny hit their clothesline-russian leg sweep combo and it looked to be over when Danny made the pin but Benjamin was able to stick a foot on the bottom rope. Danny pulled him up but Benjamin blocked a suplex and caught him with a european uppercut which allowed him to make the tag. Jindrak then hung Danny over the top rope and pulled his feet out as Benjamin bounced off the far side and leaped over his partner's back, sitting on the back of Danny and knocking the wind out of him. Jindrak then went to the apron, possibly looking for his springboard clothesline but Victoria came over and pulled his foot away. Jindrak shook her off but the Basham's had made an illegal switch and Doug caught him with a right hand before trying to bring him back in the hard way. But Benjamin swept Doug's feet out and Jindrak escaped, landing behind him. Doug got up and pointed in Benjamin's direction right before he was rolled up from behind by Jindrak who got the 3 count. Match Time: 8:20 THEIR MUSIC HIT AGAIN AND THE TWO YOUNGSTERS WALKED AWAY TO A BIG CHEER. J.R.: "Well King that's gotta be considered somewhat of an upset but these two have won it and looked really good doing it"! Lawler: "The Basham's will get another shot at these two punks at Deadly Games and they won't forget this"! BACKSTAGE..... JOHN HEIDENREICH IS STANDING IN THE BACK WHEN LA RESISTANCE COMES UP. Rene Dupree: "Ah, John Heidenreich, the student of the great Road Warriors". John Heidenreich: "Look, if you two are here to fight..... Sylvan Grenier: "Us fight? No, no, that's what Americans do, we don't conduct our business that way". Dupree: "But what we will do is come to the aid of our allies so if you plan to retaliate on Rob Storm for what happened to you last week.... be prepared to go through us". Heidenreich: "Well ya know, it just so happens that I have a partner here. So what if you two meet us out there in that ring tonight"? Grenier: "Typical American". Dupree: "No Sylvan, this big oaf is trying to make us, the tag team champions, look like cowards. You go tell your partner that he's got a match, we'll play your barbaric games". HEIDENREICH SMILES AND WALKS AWAY. J.R.: "La Resistance versus Heidenreich and a partner....whoa"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR STACKER 2 YJ STINGER IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... TRIPLE H's OFFICE.... VAL VENIS ENTERS WHERE TRIPLE H STILL SEEMS UPSET. Val Venis: "It seems you're the matchmaker around here these days.... I want Joe Corey and I wanna whip his ass"! Triple H: "Is that right? Well maybe if you lower your tone, you'll get it". Venis: "Don't play games with me Helmsley". Triple H: "Don't play games with you? Let me tell you something, we've had our history together, but I'm not gonna take being disrespected like this. So I'll give you Joe Corey, I'll give you Joe Corey in a street fight and I'll give it to you next week. But you better win, because if you don't, I don't wanna see your face here on RAW or anywhere else in the TWF again, got me"? Venis: "I got you and I accept"! THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE NAILS, JUSTIN SANE AND ZEROEX ARE IN THE RING. Lawler: "Venis putting his career on the line? He must really wanna get Corey in the ring"! J.R.: "There's a lot of unfinished business between those two but right now, Anarchy, Inc. is in the ring". Nails: "Pyromania, you may've pinned me last week, but it will go down as the worst thing that could've happened to you. You and I will meet again and when we do, I'm gonna play with fire, oh yeah and you, you're gonna be the one getting burned"! "I GOT IT ALL" HITS AND BILLY GUNN CAME OUT TO A BIG POP. Lawler: "Stern words from Nails to Pyromania"! J.R.: "It's gonna be Billy Gunn against Justin Sane here but Billy, whi is coming off a week where he was attacked inexplicably but his now former tag team partner Scott Steiner, will have to contend with two other members of Anarchy, Inc.". Billy Gunn vs. Justin Sane w/ Nails and ZeroEx Sane was very aggressive against Gunn, looking for a quick victory and taking any shortcuts he could, distracting the ref for Nails and ZeroEx could get their shots in. But Billy hung tough, sticking Sane with his quick jabs and hitting him with a jackhammer suplex. Billy went for a quick "Fame-Asser" but Sane moved and clobbered him with a clothesline. He then hit a dropping headbutt before going after Gunn's habitually hobbled shoulder. He pulled Gunn up and kicked him in the stomach but when he bounced off the ropes, Gunn took a hip toss into a neckbreaker and landed in a cover, getting the 3 count to surprise Sane. Match Time: 6:37 J.R.: "Billy Gunn has won it with a very athletic manuever and what a way to bounce back from that attack by Big Poppa Pump"! Lawler: "Yeah, but he's not out of the woods yet"! AFTER THE MATCH, NAILS AND ZEROEX RAN INTO THE RING AND GUNN DID HIS BEST TO FIGHT THEM OFF UNTIL SCOTT STEINER HIT THE RING WITH A METAL BAR AND HIT GUNN IN THE SHOULDER. GUNN FELL TO THE MAT, ROLLING IN PAIN AS NAILS, ZEROEX AND SANE PUT THE BOOTS TO HIM. J.R.: "Scott Steiner just wiped out Billy Gunn with some kind of foreign object.... somebody get out here"! JUST THEN, THE CROWD ROSE TO THEIR FEET IN CHEER AS AUSTIN PYROMANIA CAME RUNNING OUT AND THE 4 MEN SCATTERED. PYROMANIA WAS ALL WORKED UP BUT HE WAS TOO LATE. "HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HIT AS PYROMANIA WENT OVER TO CHECK ON GUNN. Lawler: "Scott Steiner has really got a thing against Gunn all of a sudden"! J.R.: "Well thank god for Pyromania but Billy Gunn may be hurt". BACKSTAGE..... STRIFE AND THE UNDERTAKER ARE SHOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION. Strife: "I don't know man, I didn't see it coming. These guys hide everything so you gotta watch your back man, at least until Deadly Games". Undertaker: "Well thanks for havin' my back man, but I think we need to pay Nemesis a visit tonight". JUST THEN, TRIPLE H WALKS UP EATING AN APPLE. Triple H: "Oh, well that won't be necessary. I decided since Nemesis worked so hard for that win to become number one contender last week, he deserved a night off, so he's not even here tonight fellas. (he takes a bite of the apple) See ya around". Strife: (looking at him as he walks away) "Prick". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHUCK PALUMBO IS IN THE RING, HIS MUSIC PLAYING. J.R.: "The night off? What the hell is that about? Well deserved my..... Lawler: "Whoa J.R., this is a family show ya know". "WHEREVER I MAY ROAM" BY METALLICA PLAYS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT WITH ALEXIS LAREE. J.R.: "Well I can't believe it, but this man has a chance to end the illustrious TWF career next week here on RAW". Lawler: "Well he just about did with that bottle of wine at the conclusion of that date last week but tonight, he's gonna pretend that Chuck Palumbo is Val Venis"! J.R.: "Chuck Palumbo will provide a formidable challenge to Corey here and if Corey is to defeat Venis in that no holds barred street fight next week, he needs all the momentum he can get". "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree vs. Chuck Palumbo This was a sloppy match in which neither superstar could build up much of an offense but after connecting with a discus punch, Palumbo set up for the Jungle kick but Corey saw it coming. He then kicked him in the gut and stuck him with a DDT before going outside the ring and tossing the timekeeper on the floor. He then picked up the chair he was sitting in, folded it up and slid into the ring. He then asked Alexis to get him the microphone and she went and ripped it out of Lilian Garcia's hand and gave it to him. Corey had this to say: Joe Corey: "You want a street fight Venis.... here's what you have to look forward to"! WITH THAT, HE BLASTED PALUMBO OVER THE HEAD, KNOCKING HIM CLEAN OUT AND GETTING HIMSELF DISQUALIFIED IN THE PROCESS. Match Time: 5:44 J.R.: "My god what a chair shot! Palumbo is out"! Lawler: "Are you sure this is what you want Venis? Your career should be worth more"! CAMERAS SHOWED THE TRAINER IN THE RING, SHINING A LIGHT IN PALUMBO's EYES AS COREY AND ALEXIS WALKED UP THE RAMP, HAND IN HAND. J.R.: "Joe Corey is ready for that street fight and after next week, Val Venis could be looking for work"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... PARKING LOT..... SITTING ON THE HOOD OF A CAR, KURT ANGLE SEEMED KIND OF BOARD UNTIL A BLACK SUV SPED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND SLAMMED ON IT's BREAKS. THE DRIVER DOOR OPENED AND RON KILLINGS GOT OUT AS ANGLE GOT OFF THE HOOD. Ron Killings: "You want me?! You want me chump"?! Kurt Angle: "You're damn right I do! Let's go"! Killings: (pointing) "What about him"? ANGLE TURNS AROUND AND IS KICKED RIGHT IN THE MOUTH BY NATHAN JONES! TEDDY LONG WALKS UP FROM BEHIND, CLAPPING HIS HANDS AS JONES AND KILLINGS PICK ANGLE UP AND THROW HIM INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR HE WAS SITTING ON. Teddy Long: "And that my friend Kurt Angle, is the truth"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR DELL PC's IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... TWF RE-WIND SHOWS ROB STORM's STEEL CHAIR ATTACK ON JOHN HEIDENREICH LAST WEEK. LA RESISTANCE's MUSIC HITS AND WILLIAM REGAL COMES OUT WITH RENE DUPREE AND SYLVAN GRENIER WHO ARE WEARING BERETS AND CAPES AND HAVE THEIR TAG TEAM BELTS AROUND THEIR WAISTS. GRENIER IS WAVING THE FRENCH FLAG. J.R.: "Back on RAW and here come those ungrateful tag team champions and that stooge William Regal". Lawler: "Stooge? Regal is not a stooge, he is a very intelligent man". William Regal: (trying to talk over the booing crowd) "If you people will shut up for a moment and show some respect for once, Mr. Dupree and Mr. Grenier, your tag team champions, would like to perform the French national anthem". J.R.: "Oh not this"! THE MUSIC PLAYS AND DUPREE STARTS THE SINGING WITH GRENIER FOLLOWING HIS LEAD. THE CROWD TRIES TO DROWN THEM OUT BUT THEY GET THROUGH THE ENTIRE SONG. Lawler: "That was great! C'mon J.R., give it up"! "AH WHAT A RUSH" HITS AND ANIMAL COMES OUT IN HIS SPIKED SHOULDER PADS FOLLOWED BY JOHN HEIDENREICH. J.R.: "I'm just glad it's over, my ears hurt! This will be a stiff challenge for La Resistance. The titles are not on the line but after what happened to John Heidenreich last week at the hands of Rob Storm, he may be looking to make an example out of Greiner, Dupree or both"! Lawler: "It's fitting that Animal helped train this guy and get him ready for the TWF because that's exactly what he is J.R., an animal"! J.R.: "Animal is very proud of this young man and what a feat it would be if together, they could pull the upset tonight"! Non-Title: John "Havoc" Heidenreich and Animal vs. RAW Tag Team Champs La Resistance w/ William Regal As Animal gave Heidenreich some last minute instructions, Dupree came from behind with a chop block and took his legs out. He then tagged in Dupree and after a double flapjack, Grenier put the boots to him. Animal was making matters worse by trying to get around referee Jack Doan and into the match. This allowed La Resistance to work together and illegally double team Heidenreich. But out of nowhere, he got a sudden surge of energy and just threw both men aside. He then clotheslined Grenier and picked Dupree up for a gorilla press slam. Heidenreich made the tag and he and Animal whipped Grenier into the ropes and caught him with a double boot. Animal then clotheslined Dupree to the floor and Regal got onto the apron, only to be fed a right hand from Animal, knocking him to the floor. Doan thengot in the way of Heidenreich and forced him over to his corner when suddenly, Rob Storm came running out with a steel chair and slid into the ring. He took a swing and Animal with all he had but Animal ducked and the chair struck Grenier! Animal then clotheslined Storm up and over the top rope before putting Grenier down again with a nice powerslam. He hooked the inside leg as Doan turned to count the 1....2.....3. Match Time: 6:55 Lawler: "What the heck happened"?! J.R.: "La Resistance's good buddy Rob Storm just sent Sylvan Grenier into la-la land and Animal and Heidenreich have won it"! Lawler: "Regal is incensed J.R., look"! WILLIAM REGAL WAS SHOWN WITH AN ANGRY SCOWL ON HIS FACE, WATCHING ANIMAL AND HEIDENREICH WALK OFF TO A HUGE CHEER. J.R.: "This has gotta elevate this team of Animal and Heidenreich, the new Road Warriors if you will, way up the ladder"! Lawler: "I can't believe it"! BACKSTAGE..... VAL VENIS IS SHOWN SITTING IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WITH A TOWEL OVER HIS HEAD WHEN STEPHANIE COMES IN. Stephanie: "Val, I gotta talk to you". VAL LIFTS HIS HEAD UP. Val Venis: "What do you want"? Steph: "Well geez, I just wanted to make sure you know what you're doing. I mean, you've had a great career here in the TWF, a former World champion for god sakes. I mean, do you remember the night that you went through three men in that fatal four way and then beat The Undertaker to win the title when no one, no one gave you a chance". Venis: "That was a long time ago Steph". Steph: "Yeah it was, but it could happen again. But if you go through with this match next week, you could be throwing all that away. I just hope you're ready for that". STEPHANIE WALKS OUT AS VENIS PUTS HIS HEAD BACK DOWN. BACK AT RINGSIDE, SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING GETTING LOOSE. J.R.: "I hate to say it King, but things don't seem right with Val". Lawler: "He's always been a headcase J.R., he's just a shell of a champion now"! "THUGANOMICS" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT PUTTING UP THE DOUBLE HORNS. HE IS WEARING A THROWBACK CHICAGO BEARS #51 JERSEY OF DICK BUTKUS AND THE KING OF CABLE TITLE IS AROUND HIS WAIST. A GRAPHIC POPS UP ON THE SCREEN WITH A TELEVISION SET AND THE WORDS "KING OF CABLE" ON THE SCREEN. J.R.: "I just can't believe he's gonna lay it all on the line next week"! Lawler: "Speaking of on the line, the King of Cable title is on the line right now"! J.R.: "It was at the conclusion of a tag team match last week when Shawn Stasiak saved his partner Chuck Palumbo from a sure disaster with a steel chair, prompting this one to come about". Lawler: "John Cena is as hot as anyone here on RAW J.R. and he's been the only King of Cable. Too many viewers would hit their power buttons with Stasiak as champion"! J.R.: "I've always been a fan of what Stasiak can do in the ring. He's got all the tools and when he learns how to put it all together, he'll be a star in this business"! TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger... Shawn Stasiak vs. John Cena As the bell sounded, Cena got in Stasiak's face and tried to punk him out but Stasiak pie faced him. Cena charged back with a clothesline but Stasiak used a drop toehold into a front facelock. Stasiak then rode Cena and was on his back but Cena showed his superior upper body strength, standing up with him and then just falling backwards. The "pound and ground" attack of Cena then took effect as he choked Stasiak in the corner and then stood up, booting him in the gut. Referee Mike Chioda came over and forced a break but Cena was right back on him when he made it up, slugging him with some hard right hands before an irish whip. But he missed with a clothesline and Stasiak came back with a flying back elbow that was right on the money. Stasiak then lifted him up and hit a vertical suplex, floating over into a corner and nearly getting the 3 count. Stasiak knew he had Cena reeling and he put him over the middle rope, pushing down to cause a choke. Chioda got to a 4 count and he broke it but Stasiak sent him to the ropes, hitting another clothesline. Seeing an opening, Stasiak positioned Cena for a reverse DDT or deathdrop DDT but Cena spun out of the hold and pulled Stasiak's arm out, lifting him onto his shoulders and putting him down with the "F-U". Cena immediately covered Stasiak, hooking a leg to get the 1......2......3. Match Time: 5:16 J.R.: "The F U came out of nowhere, Stasiak didn't even see it coming"! Lawler: "He sure didn't J.R. but that just shows you the ability John Cena has! Can you imagine all the viewers this man is getting us"?! J.R.: "Ojh yeah, I'm so proud I can't stand it but King, I will fess up to the fact that he is good, he's damn good and in time, he'll be great! He just needs a serious attitude adjustment"! CENA IS SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP, HOLDING THE BELT HIGH IN HIS RIGHT HAND TO A MIXED REACTION, SURPRISINGLY A LOT OF "CENA" CHANTS AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL...... A COMMERCIAL FOR SNICKERS IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS RAW RETURNS, THE EERIE ENTRANCE OF SPAWN BEGINS AND HE COMES OUT TO A SILENT RESPONSE. J.R.: "He's six foot ten and two hundred and ninety pounds..... it's Spawn"! Lawler: "And this will be one of the men on Team Triple H at Deadly Games J.R.! Who wants to get in his path"! "SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO A DEAFENING OVATION. HE GETS ON HIS KNEES HALFWAY DOWN THE RAMP AND SAYS A PRAYER AS PYRO GOES OFF IN THE BACKGROUND. J.R.: "Well tonight, Shawn Michaels is gonna get in his...... oh look out"! WITH THE MUSIC STILL PLAYING, SPAWN CAME OUT AND ATTACKED MICHAELS. HE PULLED OFF HIS JACKET AND WHIPPED HIM INTO THE BARRICADE. SPAWN PULLED MICHAELS UP AS THE FANS HECKLED HIM UP CLOSE. FINALLY, HE THREW HIM INTO THE RING AT THE URGES OF REFEREE EARL HEBNER. Spawn vs. Shawn Michaels Already at a big disadvantage, Michaels did his best to absorb what Spawn was throwing at him. Hebner had a tough time controlling the monstrous Spawn who was physically dominant. After dropping Michaels on the top turnbuckle with the snake eyes, Spawn bounced off the ropes and hit a running headbutt, knocking Michaels threw the ropes and to the floor. Spawn followed him out and for the next 3 minutes, just took it to Michaels outside the ring. After whipping him into the steel pole, Spawn picked him up and dropped him throat first over the barricade blocking the fans off. He then pulled him up by the hair and rolled him back into the ring. But in the ring, Spawn made his first mistake, telegraphing a legdrop which Michaels avoided. Michaels then bounced off the ropes and hit a flying forearm that staggered th ebig man. Spawn was able to balance himself up but Michaels knocked him down with a dropkick. He then went to the top rope but Spawn sat up and grabbed Michaels by the throat, slamming him to the mat with one hand. Michaels was just physically disected throughout the match but Spawn couldn't put him away and upon whipping him to the corner, he charged in but Michaels moved and planted the "Sweet Chin Music" right on him. Spawn fell back and Michaels topped him, hooking the leg for the 1.....2.......3. Match Time: 8:02 "SEXY BOY" BLARED AND THE FANS WENT NUTS. J.R.: "Shawn Michaels has done it! He's done it with what has made him famous, that tremendous resiliency King"! Lawler: "I don't know how he did it, but he did"! J.R.: "Here comes High Octane"! HIGH OCTANE CAME OUT AND SLID INTO THE RING. MICHAELS TURNED TO SEE HIM AND OCTANE EXTENDED HIS HAND WHICH MICHAELS SHOOK. OCTANE THEN RAISED HIS ARM IN THE AIR AND "SEXY BOY" STARTED UP AGAIN. Lawler: "They're united J.R."! J.R.: "You're damn right they are! That is Damion West's longtime idol and they are united in getting Triple H out of office"! PARKING GARAGE..... THE UNDERTAKER ENTERS THE PARKING GARAGE, TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE. Undertaker: "Yeah honey, I'm doin' good, just a little tired. I'm gonna go to the hotel and get some rest. (pause) Yeah, I'm gonna do that...... JUST THEN, UNDERTAKER IS STRUCK FROM AROUND A CORNER WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER RIGHT IN THE HEAD. HE FALLS BACK ON THE PAVEMENT AND DROPS THE CELL PHONE. A FEMALE VOICE CAN BE HEARD SAYING "HELLO" REPEATEDLY AS A FIGURE COMES FROM AROUND THE CORNER WEARING AN EXECUTIONER STYLE MASK. THE MAN REMOVES THE MASK..... IT's NEMESIS! OFF AIR......
