WWF Raw is War RESULTS
RAW opened live in Louisville, Ky., with World Wrestling Federation Chairman Vince McMahon entering the ring while the entire army of Federation Superstars gathered around the squared circle. Mr. McMahon promised that after Survivor Series, WCW and ECW would be wiped away. Vince then addressed the attack by Shane and Stephanie on Linda McMahon during SmackDown!. Vince warned Shane that father would destroy son later that evening during their Street Fight!
Mr. McMahon began introducing the Federation's team of superstars that would battle the Alliance at Survivor Series. The Undertaker, Kane, Kurt Angle, WCW Champion Chris Jericho and The Rock comprise the team.
Just as Mr. McMahon finished the introductions, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's entrance music hit and the Billion-Dollar Princess strolled onto the entrance ramp. She said that in the street fight later on, everyone will know the participants for the Alliance. Stephanie boldly proclaimed that the superstars in the Alliance were successful as well as smart. She ordered that footage of the SmackDown! attack on her mother be played. When the clip finished, Stephanie asked her father to consider what the Alliance would do to him, Linda and the Federation at Survivor Series. Stephanie told Linda she hoped her mother enjoyed watching Shane wreck his father that evening. With that, out came WCW Owner Shane McMahon.
Shane said there couldn't be anything more satisfying than systematically taking his father apart. Actually, Shane said, there was. Shane proclaimed that a member of the Federation would defect to the Alliance that night! "I'm looking at that person right now," said Shane while gazing over the Federation Superstars flanking a confused Vince at ringside.
After a break, Stephanie and Shane went backstage and entered the dressing room of Austin. Austin said there was no way the Federation would figure out who was jumping sides that night. The Rattlesnake put an ear to his wristwatch and said it was time for Shane to open a can of whoopass on Vince that night!
In a publicity match, federation Hardcore Champion Rob Van Dam arrived in the ring to challenge Edge for the Federation Intercontinental Championship. Rob Van Dam displayed his amazing flexibility, but Edge countered with some amazing movements himself. With Edge dazed and lying on the mat, RVD went for a split-legged moonsault. But Edge blocked the move and RVD took a pair of kness to the stomach. Edge hit Van Dam with a spear, but the Hardcore Champion kicked out. Shortly after, RVD missed a Five-Star Frog Splash that Edge dodged! The Intercontinental Champion hit the challenger with a DDT and took the pin.
Austin laughed while watching the action backstage and said RVD made him sick. Tazz came in and said the suspense was killing him. He had to know who was defecting that night.
The evening's next match featured Tajiri and Torrie Wilson versus The Hurricane and Mighty Molly. Hurricane went for his Eye of the Hurricane finisher early on, but Tajiri dodged and countered with a stiff kick. Both men tagged in their female counterparts and Torrie began throwing Molly around the ring. She even hit Hurricane's sidekick with Tajiri's patented handspring elbow off the ropes.
Chris Jericho broke in on Undertaker and Kane talking in the locker room. Y2J screamed at the Brothers of Destruction for missing the meeting. Undertaker yelled back at Jericho, saying he had no right to call such a meeting. Kane tried to calm his brother, but Jericho broke in and told the Dead Man to settle down. After all, Jericho told Taker, he wasn't the one under suspicion of jumping to the Alliance. Jericho and Taker glared at Kane as RAW broke to commercial.
Booker T arrived at the ring and was soon joined by Test. The two would lock up with The Rock and Chris Jericho with the Federation Tag Team Championship on the line. Booker T and Test took turns pounding on Y2J early in the match. But the WCW Champion managed to work his way out of a jam and tag in the Great One. The Rock began demolishing both men, hitting Test with a DDT and tossing Booker T through the ropes. But Rocky accidentally struck Jericho in the process of wrecking the opponents. Jericho retaliated by smashing the Great One while set up for the People's Elbow!
Test tried to take advantage, but Jericho broke up the pin attempt and then begged Rock to make the tag. Rock made the tag, threw Jericho into the ring and hit a Rock Bottom.
Rock then turned to walk up the entrance ramp but dashed back to break up Test's pin attempt on Jericho. While The Rock took care of Booker T with a Rock Bottom, Jericho earned the win with the Walls of Jericho on Test. The Federation tandem angrily exchanged words following the match. (Publicity match)
Shane O'Mac and Vince were shown as they headed to the ring for their hotly anticipated Street Fight. After a break, father and son met each other at the squared circle and came to blows.
Vince pummeled his son with his bare fists then smashed a steel sign over his boy's head. The beating continued as Vince rammed Shane into the ring steps and the ring post. Shane gasped for breath as his father wrapped an electrical cord around his neck and cut off his son's air. Vince threw Shane into the ring and tossed in a few garbage cans and a kendo stick as well.
Vince wound up to smack Shane with a trashcan, but was struck by a low blow. The Boy Wonder took control by repeatedly smashing a trashcan lid over his father's head. Shane set a trashcan on his father's chest, climbed the top rope and launched a Shooting Star Press! But Vince caught wind and moved, causing Shane to land on the trashcan.
Mr. McMahon regained the upper hand by cracking his son with the kendo stick over and over again. The brutality continued with Vince knocking Shane outside the ropes. The Federation Chairman cleared the announce table of monitors but met a few trash can lids to the head and a TV monitor to the skull from his son. With his father dazed, Shane crept back into the ring and vaulted to the top rope. Shane launched himself at his father and both men crashed through the solid wood table!
Shane gathered his senses and took Vince back into the ring. Vince recovered in time to kick out after a two-count. Shane propped his father in the corner of the ring and assaulted him with repeated blows. In a sickening scene, Shane set a trash can up on his prone father and went to the opposite ring corner where he set out to reenact his amazing feat from WrestleMania X-7. Vince moved at the last second, and suddenly, Alliance and Federation Superstars stormed out to aid their respective leaders. Undertaker gave Booker T a Last Ride. Regal took out Taker. Rock bashed Regal. Austin smacked Rock.
And Kurt Angle streamed down to ringside and showed himself as the traitor! He grabbed a steel chair and smashed The Rock in the head with it. After Shane pinned his father, Angle, Austin and Shane celebrated as Raw faded to a close.
It should definitely be interesting to see how the feuds of Rock v. Austin, Undertaker and Kane v. Booker T and Test, and Chris Jericho v. Angle play out in the weeks prior to the electric Survivor Series main event.
