The three major wrestling federations have dissolved,

vs.
The Dudleys
The New Age Outlaws The Dudleys got the upper hand on the Outlaws by jumping them from
behind as Road Dogg did his customary speech. D-Von grabbed Road Dogg by
his dreadlocks and reverse ddt'ed him, while Buh-Buh Ray grabbed Bad Ass
and full-nelson slammed him. Buh-Buh Ray pressed Road Dogg over his head
and threw him into the crowd. Mr. Ass drop-kicked D-Von over the top rope
and clotheslined Buh-Buh Ray. He went for the fameasser but was caught
in mid-air and dumped through a ringside table. The crowd surfed Road Dogg
back into the ring where he waffled Buh-Buh Ray with a chair. D-Von grabbed
the chair from the Dogg, but as soon as he turned around, Gunn dropkicked
it right into his face. The Outlaws then executed a spike-piledriver on
D-Von for the win. After the match, Buh-Buh Ray came back into the ring
and nailed both Outlaws with a chair. He pulled a table from underneath
the ring, while D-Von set Gunn on top of it. Buh-Buh Ray then superbombed
Road Dogg on top of Mr. Ass and left the ring with a euphoric look on his
face. winners-The New Age Outlaws
vs
T.V. Champ-Shawn Michaels
Stevie Richards Both men came out alone, without any members of their respective
factions, the Outsiders and the Horsemen. HBK slapped Richards in the face
and taunted Stevie by saying, "Big Stevie Cool? More like Little Stevie
Nothing. You ain't nothing but an HBK wannabe. You're not in my league,
maybe you can go wrestle Marty Jannety." Stevie retaliated by spearing
Michaels and pounding his face into the mat. Richards went for a steviebomb,
but HBK reversed it into a frankensteiner. Michaels went to work on Stevie's
legs by ramming Richards' knees into the mat and slapping on the figure-four.
Stevie eventually reversed it, but the damage was done. HBK was relentless
and continued stomping on Stevie's knee. Michaels waited for Stevie to
get up and then went to the top-rope for a double-axehandle, but Richards
caught him with the Steviekick on the way down. He went for the pin, but
was pulled off by Triple H. This brought out Stevie's fellow Horseman,
Ric Flair. Flair pulled Triple H off of the apron and they brawled to the
back. While this was going on, Outsiders 2000 lackey, Vince, threw HBK
some brass knuckles that he used to nail Stevie with. Michaels then covered
him for the win. winner-Shawn Michaels The cameras then went backstage to the cWo locker-room and we saw
Matt Johnson in there with his cWo troops, minus the Even Badder Guy. They
were all speculating on the whereabouts of Erik Bushey and Johnson sent
Bob "The Razor Studd" Weber out to find him. Weber went out into the hall-way
and started yelling for help. It appears that the Even Badder Guy was assaulted
by The Legion of Doom and left laying in a pool of his own blood in the
janitor's closet. It doesn't look like there is anyway that the Even Badder
Guy will be able to compete tonight. Johnson took a steel chair and went
to the L.O.D's locker room to confront Shane McMahon and the Legion of
Doom, all of whom were carrying bloody baseball bats and lead pipes. "You
son of a bitch! I'll kill you for what you did to Bushey, " he screamed
at the L.O.D. leader. McMahon replied to him, "Just because your little
boyfriend slipped and bumped his head, it's our fault? I feel sorry for
the guy, but seeing as how it looks like your boy is out, it looks like
our monster truck match, is also going to be a handi-cap match." McMahon
then ordered the riot squad to handcuff Johnson and keep him in custody
until the main event. The Even Badder Guy was loaded into an ambulance
and was taken to a hospital to receive medical treatment for what we believe
to be severe skull trauma and internal bleeding.
vs.
Bret Hart/Chris Jericho/Rob Van Dam
Kane/Goldberg/Jake the Snake The cWo team came out first and Jericho took the mic. "Welcome to
HWF is Jericho. Tonight me and my cohorts will administer a cWo beating
to Jeff the Worm, Bill Greenberg, who may I remind you, I am 5 and 0 against,
and Ken. I would also like to dedicate this match to my friend and yours,
Erik the Even Badder Guy Bushey. Erik Bushey is the only true inspirational
figure in America today, so forget about Elian Gonzalez, forget about the
boy in the bubble, and forget about Kurt Warner. Well, I guess Elian doesn't
count because he's going back to Cuba, but all kidding aside, the L.O.D.
is going to get a Y2J beating that they will never, eh-eh ever forget again."
The L.O.D. came to the ring and all of the men started brawling on the
outside. RVD slammed a chair over Kane's head, but Kane just shrugged it
off and threw Mr. PPV through a table. Goldberg kneed The Hitman in the
face, breaking his nose, and rammed his head into the steel post. Y2J moonsaulted
off of the top-rope onto Goldberg, Hart and Jake the Snake. Jericho threw
Jake into the ring and double-powerbombed him. He went for the pin, but
it was broken up by Kane. Kane set Jericho up for the chokeslam, but RVD
flew in from the top-rope with a side-kick that rocked the big man. He
threw a chair at Kane to set up the Van Daminator, but unlike every idiot
in ECW who uses the chair to shield his face, Kane just used the chair
to knock the piss out of RVD. Kane tombstoned him, but the pin was broken
up by Bret Hart. Hart tried to set Kane up for the sharpshooter, but was
speared by Goldberg. Goldberg jackhammered Hart and threw him to Jake for
a ddt. Y2J picked up the steel chair and used it to knock out Goldberg
and Kane. He slammed Jake in the head with it and hit the Lionsault for
the 3 count. winners-The cWo
vs.
U.S. Champ-Scott Hall
Sabu Hall came out first and grabbed the mic. "Hey yo. Normally, I would
come out here and do a survey, but I know you all came out here to see
the working man's U.S. champ and the stripper's, I mean, real people's
champion. Bring out that jabronie, Babu or whatever the hell his name is,
so Big Kev and I can get out of here and go to the back with some self-employed
models. The Scott Hall Strip Club Tour 2000 is headed to a town near you,
so ladies get ready to say hello, to da Bad Guy." Sabu hit the ring and
as soon as he slid under the ropes, Hall nailed him in the back of the
skull with the U.S. title. He went for the pin, but since no one ever gets
a pin off of a belt shot anymore, Sabu kicked out. Hall whipped Sabu into
the ropes and rocked the Man from Bombay with a fallaway slam. Hall threw
Sabu into the ropes and set him up for a top-rope superplex, but was pushed
off. Sabu flew off of the ropes and hit the Bad Guy with a frankensteiner.
He followed that up with a somersault legdrop and a Michinoku Driver for
a two count. He went up to the ropes again, but Hall pushed him off of
the ropes to the concrete floor, busting him wide-open. Hall pulled a table
from underneath the ring and tried to hit the Outsider's Edge, but was
instead backdropped onto the table. Sabu got a chair and arabian face-bustered
Hall through the table. He rolled the champ back into the ring for the
pin, but the ref was distracted by HWF Owner and LOD leader, Shane McMahon.
McMahon tried to throw some brass knuckles into the ring for Hall, but
Sabu caught them and used them to kayo Hall. He dropkicked McMahon off
of the apron and covered Hall for the win and the U.S. Title. Hall will
undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest champions in HWF history and
the greatest U.S. champ as he had the longest title reign of any other
HWF wrestler in history. winner and new U.S. champ-Sabu
vs.
champs-The
Pump Masters:Scott Steiner and Gusberg
The Horsemen Enforcers-Mike Awesome and Taz The champs came out and Big Poppa Pump addressed the crowd. "All
of my freaks out there, holla if you hear me, because Big Poppa Pump is
your hook-up. I've got the largest pythons in the world and the largest
anaconda in my pants because I am the genetic freak. All me and my partner
hear is how tough these two punks are. If I hear that stupid "I'm awesome"
catchphrase or "Survive if I let you", I'm gonna puke. The show don't
stop till the Pump Masters are on top, and that's how Big Poppa Pump likes
it." The Horsemen team came to the ring and all four monsters stared each
other down. Gusberg broke the stalemate by slapping the taste out of Taz'
mouth and spearing him, while Poppa Pump and Awesome traded some heavy
forearms. Awesome went for a clothesline that Steiner ducked and turned
into a belly-to-belly suplex. He whipped Awesome into the ropes and rocked
him with a vicious steiner-line. Taz and Gusberg fought on the floor, where
Taz caught Gusberg with a head and arm Tazplex that sent Gusberg into the
crowd. Taz picked up a pipe at ringside and walloped Gusberg's back with
it and threw him into the steel guardrail. Steiner came out to help his
partner and rammed Taz' skull into the ringpost. Awesome went to the top,
but missed an attempted plancha that sent him into the crowd and the concrete
floor. With Awesome out of the way, Gusberg speared Taz again and laid
out a table on the floor. Poppa Pump grabbed Taz and used a vicious Steiner
Screwdriver(the move that Owen Hart used to paralyze Steve Austin) to put
Taz through the table for the win. Is there any team that can stand up
to the awesome might of the Pump Masters? winners-The Pump Masters
Cage-Cruxificion Match vs.
New Jack and Tommy Dreamer
Shane Douglas and Sid The rules of this match were simple; to win you have to place one
of your opponents in one of the set of handcuffs placed around the cage
and whomp him with a chairshot. New Jack and Dreamer came to the ring with
a garbage can full of plunder and immediately went to work on the Franchise
and Sid. New Jack hit Douglas with a chair and Dreamer nailed Sid with
a crutch. Dreamer and New Jack whipped Sid into the ropes and double-clotheslined
him with the crutch. Douglas picked up the trash can and attempted to hit
New Jack with it, but Dreamer dropkicked the can into the Franchise's face.
Dreamer then put the trash-can over Douglas' head, it is a proven fact
that dates back to biblical times that wrestling fans enjoy watching a
grown man stagger around with a trash can on their head, and used a golf
club to whack the can. Sid grabbed New Jack and threw him head first into
the cage, busting him open. He tried to lock New Jack into a set of handcuffs,
but could only get one hand locked before Dreamer lowblowed him. New Jack
was still trapped,however, and this left Dreamer at a two on one disadvantage.
Dreamer fought back by double ddt'ing both Sid and Douglas when they attempted
to double-back drop him. Dreamer then locked the Franchise to the steel
cage with the handcuffs. Dreamer picked up the steel chair and went to
hit the Franchise, but was stopped by Sid. Dreamer turned his attention
to Sid and attempted to whomp him with the chair, but Sid ducked and Dreamer's
chair shot hit New Jack straight in the face. Sid then kicked the chair
into Dreamer's face, locked New Jack's other hand to the cage and blasted
him with a chair shot to win the match and the feud. Sid unlocked the Franchise
and they double-powerbombed Dreamer just for the fun of it. After the match,
New Jack accused Dreamer of hitting him on purpose and the two brawled
to the back. winners-Shane Douglas and Sid
interview-Steve Austin
"All year, I've been waiting to get my hands on that son of a bitch
Raven, and they go and stick me in some 3-way casket match with the Undertaker.
Well son, it don't make a damn to me because I've kicked his ass before
and I can damn sure kick it again. But one thing is for certain and two
things are for sure, I will beat the living hell out of Raven for costing
me a shot at the HWF title last year. Raven, you can talk about your little
childhood and all of your crucifixes and pain and all of that horseshit,
but the only thing you need to know is that Austin 3:16 says I just whooped
your ass. They say people dream in black and white. Well after I'm through
whooping your asses tonight, both of you will dream in blood red, and that's
the bottom line because Stone Cold said so."
Raven
"Tonight, Steve Austin finally gets the shot he's dreamed of for over
6 months. A shot at me and a shot at the HWF title. Well, remember the
old saying Austin. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
I truly am sorry that I ddt'ed you and cost you a shot at my belt but Que
Sera, Sera. Austin, you think you know about pain and loss? Try growing
up in a household where no one gives a damn about you. Where when you ask
your mother, "Why won't the other kids play with me? Why don't they like
me?" and she says, "Why do you even bother? Why do you even try? You're
nothing more than a cinder in the furnace of the damned." So tonight, Steve
Austin, I'm going to show you the true meaning of pain and loss. You will
experience pain like you've never felt before and you will definetly experience
blood loss like you've never experienced before. As far as you Undertaker,
you will experience the loss of the HWF title. Quote the Rave, 'Nevermore.'
HWF Champion-The Undertaker
"Apocalypse is a fitting name for what is going to happen to Raven and
Steve Austin tonight when they come face to face with all that is wrong
in this world and the reaper of lost souls. Austin, you may talk tough,
but tonight you and I are going to the learning tree and I'm going to teach
you a lesson you never forget. After I'm done with you and your body is
in the casket, the only thing Stone Cold about you will be your corpse.
And Raven. You think you know of the darkside. What are you going to do
when you come up against the personification of evil? Scientists call the
line that divides the light and the dark the terminator. Raven, you walk
that line and occasionally you cross into the darkside. The darkside is
where I reign supreme and tonight I'm going to drag you to the very depths
of that dark and it will eat your soul alive. And when you cross the terminator
tonight and come to the darkside, you will know that I am death on foot,
that I am the eater of worlds and souls, and that my name is the Lord of
Darkness who will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
anger and you will Rest In Peace."
HWF TITLE MATCH Triple Threat Casket Match vs.
vs.
Raven
HWF champ-The Undertaker
Steve Austin The rules of this match are simple, when you are placed in one of
the caskets at ringside, you are eliminated. Interestingly enough, Shane
McMahon made no provisions about outside interference for this match. Perhaps
he was pre-occupied with his Monster Truck match. Austin and Raven entered
first and stared each other down. Austin struck Raven, who absorbed the
blow and continued glaring at the Rattlesnake. Austin hit Raven again and
this time, Raven struck him back and both men tore into each other. As
they brawled in the ring, the lights went out and, sorry to steal this
one Jim Ross, business picked up because the HWF Champion, the Undertaker
made his way to the ring. Undertaker got into the ring and double-clotheslined
both men. He tossed Raven into the corner and punished him with wicked
body shots. He and Stone Cold then joined forces to stomp a mudhole in
Raven. They both then realized that they were working together and started
brawling. Taker whipped Austin into the ropes and was met by Austin's Thesz
Press and F' You Elbow. Austin tried the Thesz press on Raven, but was
dumped over the ropes into one of the caskets laying at ringside. Raven
tried to shut the lid on Stone Cold, but Austin kicked both feet into the
lid, sending it into Raven's face and bloodying him. The Undertaker went
to the outside and brought a piece of the steel guardrail into the ring.
He picked up Raven and crotched him on top of the unforgiving steel. Taker
picked up a chair and slammed it into Raven's face. Austin got out of the
coffin and surprised the Undertaker by nailing him with a reverse neck-breaker
while the Phenom had his back turned. As he stood over the fallen Undertaker
giving him the bird, Raven caught him and russian-legsweeped him into the
guardrail. He set the guardrail up in the corner and tried to evenflow
Austin onto the guardrail, but was shoved into the steel by Austin. The
Undertaker charged Austin and was backdropped on top of both Raven and
the guardrail. Austin went outside and grabbed the HWF Title Belt.
He whomped Undertaker with it, busting him wide open, then he knocked Raven
out with it as well. Austin hit the Stunner on the Undertaker and was about
to roll him into one of the caskets, when Cactus Jack popped out of the
casket and clamped the mandible claw on him. Jack double-arm ddt'ed Austin,
while the Sandman tossed Cactus the Singapore Cane. Jack gave the Undertaker
a vicious cane shot and ddt'ed him as well. Raven got up and did his crucifix
pose in the middle of the ring with Cactus Jack, who then turned on Raven
and hit him with the singapore cane! Jack clotheslined Raven to the floor
and hit his patented running-elbow onto the concrete on Raven before rolling
him in the casket. Cactus and the Cult then left the ringside area, but
not before Cactus ripped off his Cult t-shirt to reveal a shirt with an
airbrushed likeness of cWo leader, Matt Johnson on it, that said "Forgive
me, Uncle Matt" on the back. Cactus then looked into the camera and said,
"I love you Scotty(Raven's real name). I love you man. Bang, Bang!" Back
in the ring, both Austin and the Undertaker got up and resumed brawling.
Taker blocked an attempted stunner by throwing Austin into the ropes and
catching him with a thunderous chokeslam. He set Austin up for the tombstone,
but Stone Cold slid off of Taker's back and pushed him over the top-rope,
into one of the caskets at ringside, to eliminate the Undertaker and win
the HWF World Title for the 2nd time! winner and new HWF World Champion-Stone
Cold Steve Austin
interview with HWF owner and L.O.D. leader, Shane McMahon
Before McMahon did his interview, it was announced that tonight's Monster
Truck match would now be a handicap match as Matt Johnson's partner, Erik
"The Even Badder Guy" Bushey was rushed to the hospital after suffering
severe head and skull trauma and internal bleeding. "I have to admit that
I dropped the ball on the title match. I should have made and intererence
stipulation that if there was any outside interference, then the Undertaker
would automatically retain the belt. Well, no matter, because in a few
short moments, me and Easy E are going to kick Matt Johnson's ass. How
stupid are you Johnson? You think that you by yourself, can defeat Easy
E, a martial arts expert and Shane-O Mac, who grew up on the mean streets
of Greenwich, Connecticut. And as soon as we are done beating his ass and
dismantling the cWo, the Undertaker will get an immediate rematch with
Stone Cold tomorrow night for the title. Austin, don't think I forgot about
our battles in the WWF. I'm going to finish what Vinnie Mac started. And
Matt Johnson, as far as your chances of winning the monster truck match
tonight go, well, you got no chance in hell."
MONSTER TRUCK MATCH Winner Owns the HWF, Loser's Faction Disbands Shane McMahon and Eric Bischoff
vs. Matt "The C'Ville Icon" Johnson and Erik "The Even
Badder Guy" Bushey
To win this match, you must pin one of your opponents in the flat bed
of your monster truck. The winning team gains control of the HWF, while
the losers must disband their faction and leave the HWF. Both the cWo and
the Legion of Doom have been escorted out of the building as to ensure
no outside interference. Due to the vicious attack by the Legion of Doom
on Erik Bushey, Matt Johnson has been forced to fight this match alone.
As McMahon and Bischoff made their way to the ring, Johnson came out of
the crowd and attacked them with a shovel. He nailed McMahon in the back
and hit Bischoff right in his Ken doll face. Johnson rammed McMahon's head
into the safety guardrail and bulldogged Bischoff on the outside to the
concrete. The C'Ville Icon tossed Bischoff into the ring and climbed to
the top-rope, but was hit in the back with a steel chair by Shane-O Mac.
Bischoff then superplexed Johnson off the top-rope. McMahon set up a table
in the ring, and while Bischoff held him down, McMahon drove Johnson through
it with a diving elbow smash off the top. The LOD leaders grabbed Johnson
and dragged him up to their monster truck. McMahon slammed Johnson on the
truck's flat bed and went for the pin, but amazingly, only got a two count.
The camera then went outside where we saw an ambulance pull up. We then
saw Erik "The Even Badder Guy" Bushey, whose head was wrapped in bandages
and had apparently commandeered the ambulance and checked himself out of
the hospital, try to get into the arena. He was then stopped by McMahon's
riot squad. It didn't look like the Even Badder Guy would get in, when
the Outsiders 2000, led by Scott Hall, who was angry that Shane McMahon
cost him the U.S. title and the strip club money that he was earning as
champion, punked the riot squad and let Bushey in the arena. Back inside,
the LOD leaders looked on in disbelief, then turned their attention back
to the C'Ville Icon. They dumped him out of the monster truck and
proceeded to put the boots to him as Bushey made his way to the arena.
Bushey got to the monster trucks and, in an incredible display of testicular
fortitude, immediately went after the LOD leaders. He lowblowed Shane,
but was kicked in the head by Bischoff, opening up the bloody gash on his
head even further. Bischoff stood gloating over the fallen Even Badder
Guy, which gave Johnson the opportunity to pull out some brass knuckles
and nail the former WCW vice-president in the back of the head. Johnson
and Bushey then grabbed McMahon and put him on top of the cWo monster truck.
Johnson and Shane slugged it out on top of the truck, while in another
unbelievable display of testicular fortitude, The Even Badder Guy executed
his finisher, the C'Ville Hangover Facebuster, onto a prone Bischoff from
15 feet on the top of the monster truck on the concrete floor. McMahon
and Johnson were still battling it out on top of the truck. Johnson missed
a clothesline and was floored by a stunner from McMahon. He went to pick
up the C'Ville Icon, but was kicked in the groin and JohnsonBombed from
the top of the truck, to the flat bed. Johnson then splashed him from the
top of the truck and pinned him for the win and the rights to the HWF once
again. After the match, all four men were rushed to the hospital and treated
for massive blood loss and other injuries. winners-Matt Johnson and Erik
"The Even Badder Guy" Bushey
Next Week's Preview
Now that the cWo is back in control, Matt Johnson will make a few major
announcements concerning the future of the LOD members, who the #1 contender
to Steve Austin's HWF belt will be, and about the last HWF Monday Night
Manliness of the year. The Outsiders 2000 also have a big announcement
pertaining to the tag-team scene and Cactus Jack will explain his reasons
for attacking Raven tonight.
