0:00-0:02-The Raw opening video airs, pyro goes off and we're welcomed to the first edition of RAW after the famous inter promotional draft between both franchises of Titan Sports, WWF and WCW. The new Monday Night Wars are upon us and we've got an exciting show ahead of us as the road to the Royal Rumble begins.
0:02-0:12-McMahon's music hits. He struts his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the fans. McMahon is handed a microphone and gets ready to speak.
McMahon: Throughout my career, I've crushed so many people. I've never been afraid to destroy somebody else's life work, to put somebody else's family out on the street because they opposed my company the WWF. During the Monday Night Wars, I did the impossible. I took on a billionaire, and even after he raped me of all my talent that I spent years and numerous resources building up.....I won.
It feels so great to say that dammit....I won....or so I thought.....Just as WCW had one foot in the grave my son, my god forsaken child Shane McMahon went behind my back and not only purchased the WCW but also manipulated the situation and convinced the rest of my family, and a majority of the board of directors to franchise WCW through Titan Sport and to hold a draft, once again stealing my superstars that I have spent so long building up.
Well Shane......daddy is finally proud of you. You hear me right, dammit! Your whole life, I thought you could never fill my shoes, I tried to ignore it, I tried to be rational about things, but for once in your miserable existence you proved me wrong. You proved that I was right to stop your mother from swallowing you when she had the chance! You see Shane, you did exactly what I would have done in your position, you did exactly what I did to my dad when I was your age, and you did well....You tried to revolutionize something and make it your own in order to step out of my immense shadow, and for that, I'm finally proud.
But make no mistake Shane, just because I am proud of you does not mean I don't hate your guts. You're trying to make your name at my expense, and whether or not you are family I cannot condone that. For that reason alone, I will do whatever is in my power to crush the WCW. For the sake of you, and for the sake of the investors and Titan Sports I hope you're aware of what you've gotten yourself into Shane.
Enough of this business talk, I'm going to switch subjects here if you folks at home don't mind. We're 4 weeks away from the Royal Rumble! The winner of that match will go on to Main Event the biggest spectacle in Sports Entertainment History, Wres......
**Voodoo child hits...Hogan comes out wearing all black with his trade mark bandanna and white sunglasses. In a serial moment Hogan enters the ring and goes face to face with Mr.McMahon. He grabs the microphone and begins to speak.** Hulk Hogan: I believe you were going to say WrestleMania.
Vince McMahon: Who in the hell do you think you are interrupting me on my show, in my company?!
Hulk Hogan: Calm down Vince, I can feel your blood pressure from here brother. I just was in the back, and I couldn't help to over hear you talking about how you built up the WWF. Not to be picky, but there are some inconsistencies in your story. If I remember correctly, I built up the WWF, not you. If it wasn't for Hulkamania these loser virgin fans wouldn't be sitting in these seats today because wrestling would be dead!
**The fans begin chanting "Hogan Sucks" after being bombarded by Hogan's true colors.**
Vince McMahon: Hogan, you have a point. The WWF would have been nothing with Hulkamania, but Hulkamania wouldn't have been anything without the WWF. It was a mutually beneficial partnership. The fact of the matter is, when you were over there in the WCW I was here, and I put out a product that kicked your ass and put your company out of business.
Hogan: Woah, woah, woah; Vince I think we have a little bit of a misunderstanding here. I didn't care if the WCW died. They were horrible business people over there, it was hilarious brother. I took those chumps for all that they were worth. But you see Vince, I know you, I know you very well and you're a good business man. A very good business man. I could never pull that over on you, not in my wildest dreams. As you just mentioned, with you and I it has always been a mutually beneficial partnership. That's why I have a suggestion there. There isn't anybody in the back that is nearly as popular as I am. How about instead of holding the Rumble you sign it right now. Hulk Hogan in the Wrestlemania Main Event for the first time in almost a decade. WWF Championship, Hogan VS Angle! Start advertising now, and I guarantee you the buyrates will sky rocket. There isn't anybody in the back who can draw nearly as much money as I ca.....
**The glass shatters, and the fans go nuts! Austin power walks his way down to the ring. He does his typical turnbuckle taunts and goes face to face with McMahon and Hogan. He grabs a microphone and looks to be joining in on this tirade.** Austin: I was in the back, chugging down a few Steve-weisers getting in the mood to raise some hell and I couldn't help but overhear you come down here and run your mouth. You come out here and talk about your Pay Per View buy rates, your WrestleManias, your business perception, well you know what Austin 3:16 thinks? Austin 3:16 thinks it don't matter cause you're just a lousy piece of shit, always have been, always will and if you don't learn to shut your mouth I will have no problem with doing it for you.
Hogan: Woah, woah, woah. Steve, settle down. You're a great wrestler, but I think we can both agree that you were just keeping the top seat in the WWF warm for until Vince could somehow get me back on board. There's no shame in that brother. How about this? Vince McMahon gives me the WrestleMania Main Event against Angle, and then maybe at Backlash or a lesser PPV you and I can have a little match, you job to me, everybody goes home happy. What do you say?
Austin: You know Hogan, come to think of it.......Austin 3:16 doesn't need to wait until a lesser Pay Per View, and doesn't need a title match with you, cause you're right here.
**Hogan looks confused, Austin runs at Hogan and Lou Thez Presses him. The two begin rolling around exchanging blows. Vince tries to pry them off of each other but gets pushed to the ground. About a dozen backstage officials hit the ring and separate the two. The WWF is not big enough for both these future legends!**
The scene fades out with security struggling to separate the two men as Vince fumes in anger. The commentators remind us that both Austin and Hogan will be in the 10 man battle royal for the number 30 spot later tonight.
0:12-0:16-We see a shot of Angle arriving in the arena with his luggage and the WWF Championship proudly over his shoulder. We head to a commercial break.

0:16-0:30-Junior Heavyweight Tournament Match: Rey Mysterio VS Essa Rios
Beginning: A video package hyping Mysterio's high flying and innovative style is shown. Essa comes out first to a negative reaction from the crowd. Mysterio debuts to a huge pop. The match goes back and fourth with a ridiculous amount of high flying moves and counters.
Middle: Realizing that Mysterio is a better luchadore than him. Rios changes his mid match strategy and begins wrestling a more aggressive brawling style. He grounds Mysterio and begins hitting stiff kicks to the knees in order to try and ground the luchadore. Mysterio attempts to mount numerous comebacks, getting closer each time, but is repeatedly grounded by an aggressive Rios.
End: Rios begins hitting high impact suplexes and drops, followed by half a dozen near falls. He whips Mysterio into the ropes. Mysterio catches the ropes instead of rebounding. Rios runs at Mysterio but Mysterio pulls the ropes down sending Rios crashing to the floor. In a moment of desperateness Mysterio hits the ropes and hits a giant flying cross body to the outside connecting beautifully on Rios. Both men make it back into the ring just shy of the 10 count. Rios attempts a backdrop on Mysterio, Mysterio flips out and hits a low drop kick to the back of Rios sending Rios neck first into the middle rope. This sets up for the 619 followed by the West Coast Pop! Mysterio covers for the three!
Here is your winner: Rey Mysterio |
0:30-0:35-A minute long video package is shown hyping Psycho Sid's debut as being up as the next match. We then head to a commercial break.
0:35-0:38-Coachman is standing by with Val Venis who is no longer wearing his Right To Censor uniform. Coachman asks Venis why he isn't in his typical attire. Venis answers by claiming that after Stevie Richards got drafted to WCW it clicked off a switch in his head, he stopped drinking the cool-aid. Venis realized that what makes the WWF so great is the fact that the fans essentially have the ability to dictate what they want to see, and it's obvious they didn't want to see a group of middle aged men trying to nanny their viewing habits. Venis says it feels good finally having the foresight to be himself once again, and asks for the fans forgiveness and for them as well as all the ladies once again to please accept him back as the fun loving guy they once cheered.
The promo gets a fairly positive reaction from the live crowd.
0:38-0:42-Commercials 0:42-0:48-Angle's music hits. Angle makes his way to the ring to an unreal amount of heel heat. He is escorted by his pals, Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian. Angle gets on the microphone and begins hyping how he is the greatest champion of all time, and how he went over 5 other men in the Armageddon Hell In A Cell last month to retain his belt.
Angle is interrupted by The Rock who cuts a promo insulting him. The Rock says Angle might be right, after Sunday The Rock truly believes that his monkey ass could be the greatest champion of all time. The Rock suggests that if Angle truly wants to prove to not only the Rock, but all the WWF fans that he is the greatest of all time he would have to beat himself The Great One one on one. The Rock then suggests that Angle and him have a match tonight for the title.
Angle instantly rejects the idea of a match, and says how tired he is of The Rock coming out week after week spouting his juvenile insults in order to make up for his obvious lack of the three I's, Integrity, Intelligence, and Intensity. Angle questions just how bad The Rock wants the belt and in turn makes The Rock an offer. Next week The Rock goes one on three against Angle, Edge and Christian in a 3 on 1 Handicap match. If The Rock wins he goes onto face Angle for the belt at the Royal Rumble, but if The Rock loses he is gone from the WWF forever.
Much to the shock of the fans, The Rock accepts this lopsided challenge.
We fade out to a commercial break.

0:52-0:58-Sid Vicious VS Test W/Albert and Trish
Sid Vicious absolutely squashes Test in a huge showing of intensity. The match barely lasts over a minute. After the match Sid leaves the ring without saying a word as the fans are in awe of his monster ability.
After the match ends Trish throws a fit in the ring, she grabs a microphone and claims that for once she'd like to be cheered by the fans, and she is tired of being dragged down and booed because she is managing two incompetent fools. She says as of today her partnership with Test and Albert is over. The fans go nuts.
Test and Albert don't take too kindly to being insulted in front of 20,000 people. They grab Trish by the hair. They are about to do some serious damage to Trish when Val Venis runs down with a chair and clears the ring. Val helps Trish to her feet as T&A retreat.

0:58-1:02-Commercials 1:02-1:04-Coachman is once again backstage. This time he is with former WCW Triple Crown Champion Lance Storm, and surprisingly enough Jerry Lawler. Coachman asks Storm what his odds are of winning tonights WCW Opportunity match and going onto fight for the IC Belt at the Royal Rumble. Coachman's attempts to put the microphone near Storm are thwarted by Lawler who grabs the microphone away.
Lawler: My new client Lance Storm does not answer any questions without the approval of his manager...me. First let me explain something, when I heard that there was going to be new talent drafted here to the WWF I got down on my knees and I prayed that Lance Storm would be among them. I couldn't stand the fact that the greatest pure wrestler of our generation was wasting away due to poor idiot management in the WCW. You loser fans might not realize it, but Lance Storm is a few months away from being the biggest star in the WWF. All that he needs is me his new manager to get his name out there.
I negotiated with Vince to get Lance the spot in this WCW Opportunity match, and there is no doubt in my mind that Lance will go onto the Rumble and win the IC Championship.
**Lawler motions for Storm to leave with him as the scene fades out.** Quote:
1:04-1:14-Junior Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match: Eddie Guerrero VS Jeff Hardy
Beginning: The fans are ecstatic to see Hardy out of his realm endulging in singles competition. There could be some serious ramifications to the Hardy Boys if Jeff excels as a single star in the confines of the new Junior Heavyweight Division. The highly underrated Eddie Guerrero comes out to a ton of heat. This might just be Eddie's chance to shine.
Eddie has a noticeably large size advantage over Jeff whom the crowd is clearly behind. The early stages of the match see Hardy hit his signature moves while Matt cheers him on at ringside. Guerrero stops Hardy in his tracks and begins unleashing a fury of suplexes on Jeff figuratively breaking Jeff in half. Guerrero begins working on Hardy's right knee. He locks Hardy into a Half Crab but Hardy is able to escape to the ropes.
Middle: Jeff mounts a comeback beginning with a flying shoulder block off of the ropes. The fans who are eating up Jeff's every move scream as Jeff motions for the Twist Of Fate. An elbow to the chest on behalf of Mister Guerrero creates an opening for a Northern Lights Suplex for a quick two count. Guerrero continues to work the leg and knee of Hardy who is now sporting a noticable limp for his troubles.
End: The match speeds up near the end with Guerrero mounting a flurry of offense on Hardy. Hardy being resilient continues to kick out at two. Hardy mounts yet another momentum swinging comeback after a well placed mule kick. He hits a Twist Of Fate but instead of pinning goes up to the top rope for the Swanton Bomb. As Jeff extends upright on the top rope his knee gives from under him. This creates an opening for Eddie to make it to his feet and spring to the top rope hitting a HUGE belly to belly suplex. The fans are going nuts!
Guerrero climbs to the top and gets froggy hitting his signature Frog Splash! Guerrero covers Hardy for a three with the fans being clearly disappointing.
Here is your winner, Eddie Guerrero! |
1:14-1:17-Commercial Break
1:17-1:19-Val Venis is backstage in his locker room. He is in his trademark towel putting away his gear. Trish walks into the locker room queuing a huge response from the crowd.
Trish: Sorry, is this a bad time. I can come back later if you'd like.
Val: No Trish, this is a GREAT time! What brings you here?
Trish: Well....I.....I just thought it was important that I thanked you for what you did earlier tonight. You saved me from probably receiving a beating of a life time from Test and Albert.
Val: Hey, no problem. I do what I can when a lady is in distress.
Trish: Despite how cheesy that is, I feel the need to thank you Val. Let me explain. As you probably guessed, I am no longer managing T&A. I'm on the lookout for some new clientele. Recently when re negotiating my contract with Vince he allowed me a European title shot for a client of my choosing at a time of my choosing. What I want to offer you is next week you taking on William Regal for the European Championship live on Raw, and if you win maybe you and I can work out a little business deal. What do you say?
Val: Trish, I like the sound of that.
The scene fades out with Val and Trish both noticeably happy at the current happenings. Quote:
1:19-1:38-WCW Draft Opporitunity Match-Winner Gets An IC Championship Match At SummerSlam
Lance Storm VS Sean O'Haire VS Mr.Perfect
Beginning: Before the match O'Haire's promo is shown from earlier in the day. O'Haire claims that this is a new era within the WWF. O'Haire then claims to be a simple soldier preaching a simple message. His allies and him will soon take over the WWF. Soon, every wrestler in the back will either be forced to join or be destroyed by the Lord's Resistance Army.
Lance Storm comes out first to a heel reaction. Jerry Lawler leaves the announce booth to aid him at ringside. O'haire is out next to a negative reaction, followed by the re-debut of Mr.Perfect who gets a huge nostalgia based pop
The match begins with Storm and O'Haire double teaming Mr.Perfect. The alliance does well for 5 or so minutes until O'Haire sees an opening to attack Storm and does so, thus dissolving their make shift alliance.
Middle: O'Haire demonstrates his ridiculous strength by picking up Storm in the Military Press, he throws Storm to the outside who lands on his manager Jerry Lawler. This breaks the match down into a one on one oriented competition between O'Haire and Mr.Perfect. Mr.Perfect dominates mid match and has the fans clearly behind him.
End: O'Haire gains the advantage and hits his finisher the Triple Power Bomb on Hennig. He goes for the cover, but at two Storm violently grabs O'Haire pulling him off of Hennig and throwing him over the top rope to the outside. Storm steals the cover over Hennig for the three.
Here is your winner and IC Championship Contender for the Royal Rumble, Lance Storm!
Lawler enters the ring and raises Storm's hand in victory. O'Haire is furious on the outside.

1:38-1:42-Commercials
1:42-1:45-Jericho is backstage with Coachman. Coachman asks Jericho about his odds tonight in the over the top rope 10 man battle royal.
Jericho: Jon Bon Coachman, you want to know what I think about my odds tonight? I think odds are I'm going to go out there in front of all my Jerichoholics, step into that conference of jackasses, and throw all 9 men over the top rope down to the floor in order to claim my rightful spot as number 30 at the Rumble. It's about time that I break the glass ceiling and gets the respect I so rightfully deserve.
Not only that, but Mister Vince McHairpiece himself has informed me that next week I will be involved in a Triple Threat match to determine who will go on to face Lance Storm in 4 weeks at the Royal Rumble for the vacant IC Championship match. Can you imagine what a night that'll be at the Rumble, being the first man to win the IC belt and the Rumble in the exact same night? I for one can imagine it, and it'll be a night that you, any of the jackasses in the back, Lance Storm, Lance Storm's overweight mother, Vince McMahon, and all the millions upon millions of my fans will never....eeeeeeee.....eeeeee....EVVVVER forget!
1:45-1:49-Final Commercial Break Quote:
1:49-2:00-Hulk Hogan VS Steve Austin VS Chris Jericho VS Kane VS The Undertaker VS Val Venis VS William Regal VS Perry Saturn VS Dean Malenko VS Funaki
First Elimination: Val Venis goes directly for Regal in an attempt to soften him up for their European Championship match next week. He ends up getting overexcited and in a clothesline to the outside ends up eliminating both himself and Regal. They continue to brawl on the outside after the elimination.
Second Elimination: See Above.
Third Elimination: Kane and Undertaker who have formed an alliance throw both Malenko and Saturn over at the same time asserting their dominance.
Fourth Elimination: See Above.
Fifth Elimination: Kane runs at Jericho who is leaning on the ropes, Jericho pulls down the ropes sending Kane flying over the top. Kane remains on the canvas and makes it to his feet. Jericho hits his springboard dropkick sending Kane crashing to the floor in a huge surprise elimination.
Sixth Elimination: Jericho turns around into a chokeslam to the outside from Undertaker eliminating Jericho.
Seventh Elimination: Hogan and Austin who are brawling in a historic moment roll to the outside. Austin bashes a chair into Hogan's head as the two continue fighting. Inside the ring Taker is left with Funaki. Upon seeing Taker Funaki cowares back to his corner. He then stands up straight, puffs out his chest and stares down with the American Bad Ass. He pokes Taker in the chest yelling in his thick oriental accent "WATCHYA GONNA DO BROTHER'?" Taker kicks Funaki in the stomach and delivers a Last Ride Power Bomb. He throws Funaki over for the seventh elimination of the match and waits for Austin and Hogan to reenter the ring.
Eigth Elimination: While Taker is waiting in the ring he is blindsided by a man in a trench coat. Good god, it's Sean O'Haire! Sean O'Haire beats down Taker with a lead pipe bloodying the big man. He then throws Taker over the top rope thus eliminating him. He continues the assault until he is separated by the officials.
Ninth Elimination: Now rolling back in the ring through the bottom rope Hogan and Austin battle it out in an epic encounter. Austin goes for a Stunner but is pushed into the ropes and hit with a Big Boot. Hogan goes for his Leg Drop but Austin moves at the last second and Hogan aborts the move to prevent himself from crashing into the mat. Austin makes it to his feet and springs against the ropes. Hogan runs at Austin tackling him sending both men flying over the top. There is confusion as to who has won the match.
One ref raises Austin's hand, the other raises Hogan's. The referees begin arguing. Austin isn't having any of this, he pretends like he is walking away but turns around and attacks Hogan. The two continue to brawl as the show fades off the air without any clear cut winner of the match.
