Thunder comes on the air with footage of the main event from Nitro.  We then go to the ring where Vince McMahon has the mic.

 

McMahon:  Tonight I am going to give a young man in the back a chance at stardom.  That man is Kid Kash.  Kash, tonight you get your rematch with Steve Austin you have been talking about.  I hope you are ready.  Also I am going to announce the main event at The Royal Rumble.  At the Royal Rumble it will be the GWF Champion Raven taking on Stone Cold Steve Austin!  To make this match fair I have added the following stipulations.  The match will be under Raven's rules, which means no rules as well as having a special ref.  That ref will be joining me in this ring in a few moments.

 

Suddenly the sound of a car crash is heard in the arena and Mick Foley comes out.

 

McMahon:  WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

 

Foley:  You don't approve of me being the special ref?  You said he would be joining you and I looked in the back and there wasn't anyone around so I thought I would come out and take the job.

 

McMahon:  You stupid fat bastard I AM THE SPECIAL REF!  I want to make it perfectly clear I am going to screw Raven at the Royal Rumble.  He will not walk out with the GWF Title.  Do you understand me Foley?  There isn't a damn thing you can do about it!

 

Foley:  Well I wouldn't say that Vince.

 

Foley rears back and nails Vince.  Big Van Vader charges out only to be attacked by Foley as he enters.  Soon Bret Hart, Al Snow and Steve Austin hit the ring and begin to over power Foley until from the back a bat-carrying Sting hits the ring and cleans house.  We go to break with Sting and Foley daring Vince and company to re-enter the ring. 

 

After the break we see that Sting and Foley are still in the ring.  

 

McMahon:  So you two are such good friends huh?  I remember you writing about how upset Sting was when your favorite match wasn't his anymore.  Well Stinger I am going to give you a chance to fix that.  Because right now you two are going to fight and if you don't you are both FIRED!!

 

Sting and Foley did have a match and both did pull out the stops.  Neither man held back and it showed.  Sting did hit a Stinger Splash.  Sting went for the Scorpion Death Lock but Foley countered with an eye rack.  Foley hit a double arm DDT and signaled for Socko.  As he was pulling Socko out Big Van Vader jumped on the apron.  Foley locked in the Socko Claw on Vader but this allowed Sting to hit the Scorpion Death Drop for the win. 

 

Sting pinned Mick Foley with the Scorpion Death Drop in 0:08:08.

In the back we see C.W. Anderson and D-Lo Brown talking.

 

C.W.:  Listen Brown I know we could win the tag titles if given a chance.  Those Hardy's wouldn't have a damn thing against us. 

 

Brown:  Yeah but they wouldn't give us a shot.  Neither of us get much TV time because we don't have long hair and aren't pretty boys. 

 

C.W.:  Well I went to Mr. McMahon and he gave us a shot because he doesn't like the long hair look either.  Now if we don't come through there might well be hell to pay.

 

Brown:  Don't worry C.W., tonight those Boyz find out what it is like to in the ring with men.

 

After the break we see Devon Storm challenging Disqo for the TV Title.  This match saw Devon seem ready to win.  Storm went for the Brainbuster only to have Disqo float over and hit the Last Dance for yet another win.  From the back out ran Eddie Guerrero once again.  Guerrero went to give Disqo a brainbuster but Disqo did the same thing to Guerrero. 

 

Disqo pinned Devon Storm with the Last Dance in 0:07:03.

Disqo:  Guerrero I don't know what your problem is but I am going to solve it.  You want another shot at this title then you got it at the Royal Rumble.  Show up and bring your 'A' game. 

 

While C.W. and D-Lo were both were very confident about the outcome neither of them were ready for the high-flying Hardy's.  D-Lo and C.W. both were on top of their games but the Hardy's were just too tough.  The end came when Jeff hit a beautiful moonsault into Anderson for the win. 

 

The Hardy Boyz defeated C.W. Anderson and D-Lo Brown when J. Hardy pinned

In the back we see Masato Tanaka getting some coffee when Kurt Angle comes up.  Kurt has a wild look in his eyes as he passes Tanaka.  He turns and smiles.

 

Angle:  Hey Masato how's going?

 

Tanaka looks at Angle confused, obviously not understanding.

 

Angle:  Listen I have this tag match against the Eliminators.  They are on a HUGE losing streak and I know I can beat them alone but since you haven't got much TV time I thought I would give you a chance to team with an Olympic Hero.  Come on Masato we have to talk strategy. 

 

While the match was only a minute long it was fast paced.  Candido managed to hang out with when he countered a springboard Frankensteiner into a powerbomb for the win. 

 

Chris Candido pinned Jerry Lynn after a power bomb in 0:01:02.

In the back we see Bret Hart getting a cup of coffee when Billy Kidman walk by laughing.  Bret turns around and grabs Kidman.

 

Hart:  Are you laughing about what happened early kid?

 

Kidman:  Actually I was thinking about something else but now that you mention it, it was pretty funny watching Sting knock all you stooges around. 

 

Hart:  You calling me a stooge?  Listen kid how about you lace those boots up tonight and I will show you that I am the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

 

Kidman:  That might be but you still can't hang with the kid.  See you in the ring.

 

After years of words between these two stars they finally meet in the ring and Jericho didn't get the results he wanted.  Jericho did get some offense in but the end came when Goldberg countered a springboard dropkick with a huge lariat for the win. 

 

Bill Goldberg pinned Chris Jericho after a clothesline in 0:06:33.

Hart defeated Kidman in a great match.  It was back and forth with both men getting a lot of offense in.  Kidman pulled the Shooting Star Press out of his bag and got a near fall with hit.  However when he landed he hurt his knee.  Kidman went for the Kid Crusher but he knee went out.  Bret quickly locked in a figure four and got the win when Kidman had his shoulders counted to the mat for the three count.

In the back we see the Dudley's along with Spike getting coming out of their locker room.  They run into the Right to Censor right outside the room.

 

Richards:  Hello boys.  I would like to talk to you.  I know you have yet to use the tables here in the GWF but I wanted to talk to you about it.  Now as GWF Superstars we have the responsibility----

 

D-Von:  Hold it right there.  We heard you little speech on Nitro and we don't give a damn.  

 

Buh Buh:  If we want to use tables we will.  If we want to use chairs we will.  And if you went to kick your ass we will.

 

Richards:  There is no need for violence and vulgar language.  If you want to fight I am sure Mr. Steiner, Mr. Test and Mr. Venis would be glad to fight you.  See you in the ring for what I hope will be a match full of good sportsmanship. 

 

The Eliminators finally broke out of their funk and got a win.  However they still aren't no the same page.  During the match Angle let Tanaka carry most of the match.  The end came when Saturn countered Angle's Olympic Slam into a back suplex.  At the same time Kronus made a tag.  As Angle hit the mat Kronus hit a 450 Splash for the win.  After the match The Eliminators went to the back arguing.  In the ring Tanaka helped Angle up only to be Olympic Slammed.  Angle grabbed Tanaka's ankle and locked in the Ankle Lock but let go quickly as Tajiri and the Great Muta hit the ring.

In the main event Kid Kash picked up the biggest win of his career as he got a countout victory over Steve Austin.  Austin just wasn't ready for the house of fire that Kash was.  Kash hit every move he had including the Money Maker.  Austin managed to kick out and went to the floor.  While on the floor Vince McMahon distracted the ref.  Austin grabbed a chair and was about to reenter the ring when Raven attacked Austin and gave him the Raven Effect on the floor.  The official turned around and counted Austin out. 

 

Kid Kash defeated Steve Austin by countout in 0:05:04.

Rating: ** 1/4

 

The show goes off the air with Mick Foley, Sting and many other wrestlers celebrating with Kash by lifting him over their heads.
