[Jim Ross]
Hello everybody and welcome to RAW! I'm Jim Ross alongside me is my broadcast collegue Jerry The King Lawler. We don't know what sort of show we are going to get tonight after that show to remember last week, with the disrespect for authority shown by Triple H towards Hollywood Hulk Hogan, actually Pedigreeing Lillian Garcia of all people to put across his point to Hulk Hogan and the rest of the WWE!
[Jerry The King Lawler]
That's right, nobody can condone that, it was a pathetic act by a pathetic excuse for a human being Triple H, he'll get what's coming to him, and maybe he'll get it at the Royal Rumble! But if there is any good news, it's that Lillian Garcia is not seriously injured, only suffering whiplash effects from the manoevre and she has been placed in a collar but she'll be back next week here on RAW to carry on with her ring announcing duties, Get Well Soon Lillian!!
[Jim Ross]
I can only echo that statement King and tonight in as ring announcer we have "The Unfortunately Immortal" Howard Finkel to fill in, oh aren't we blessed.....
((( WHATCHA GONNA DO?!? - HULKAMANIA RUNNIN' WILD! )))
[Jerry The King Lawler]
Looks like we are going to be joined by RAW Brand Hollywood Hulk Hogan here, He's posing for the crowd here kitted out in his red and yellow, but surely he's got some serious things to address here, Last week wasn't the best beginning to 2003 for The Hulkster, what's his agenda tonight?!
[Jim Ross]
This man is a legend, and over the past six months he's proved that he is a very good owner of the RAW Brand, think of TLC 2002! Stone Cold vs Shawn Michaels, Shane Douglas vs Taz - Best of Five Series just picking a few matches there that will go down in WWE Sadistic history as some of the best matches ever seen on RAW! all down to that man, Hollywood Hulk Hogan! And now he has a microphone....
[[ Hollywood HULK Hogan ]]
Well you know something Brotha's! Last week on RAW wasn't the best of the best for anybody concerned on the RAW Brand, I was very much looking forward to 2003 after the great year of 2002, which was possibly the best year this industry has seen in it's illustrious three year WWE Sadistic history. But after last week I'm not really looking forward to the future, because right here, right now, RAW needs some repairs before it can function to the high standards of last year. For example here on the RAW Brand Hollywood Hulk Hogan won't tolerate dispicable and disrespectful acts, Cowardly acts such as laying your hands on ring announcers, referee's or anybody else that's not a wrestler, these acts won't go unpunished and that is why The WWE Undisputed Champion Triple H is barred from this very arena here tonight!!
(Fans : Mixed Reaction to say the least)
You see Triple H, that last week was disgraceful and to show that Hulk Hogan DOESN'T NEED Triple H, I'm not allowing you in tonight, Undisputed Champion or not, I don't care who you are, if you do what Triple H did last week, you'll be punished! People seem to be losing respect for me it seems and as an owner I need to put that straight! So the bottom line is as Vince McMahon once said....DONT CROSS THE BOSS!!
[Jerry The King Lawler]
Wow! Hollywood making a bold statement here tonight, I agree with him though, He needed to make that statement and he needed to show his authority! But still the crowd weren't too pleased with the barring of Triple H from the arena, I suppose it's because he's such a huge star and people pay to see this guy at these arena's. But JR, I agree with Hogan, barring Triple H is the morally correct thing to do!

**Camera's go backstage where we see Sabu and Leviathan standing together, the camera then pans around and we see Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar with the tag team titles, both having seperate conversations in the room, showing a split down the centre of the room in the Revolution, this is very symbolic even if it is inadvertent. Paul heyman now walks into the room through a door and stands in the centre of the room looking to his left and his right before summoning all four men to the centre of the room, it's almost like he's a referee summoning both teams to the centre of the room to explain the rules, or he could be compared to a boxing promoter who is setting up a fight between his clients!**
[Paul Heyman]
The Revolution! The greatest faction in WWE History, the most powerful by a long long way! Tonight is a huge night, we can show our dominance further, Kurt Angle, Sabu and Leviathan last week were all victorious and so would have been Brock Lesnar, if it wasn't for Eddie Guerrero cheating his way to yet another victory! Tonight Brock however you can get your revenge, because up next you and Kurt Angle have a Tornado Tag Team Match, no gold is on the line, the only thing on the line is Eddie Guerrero's ass! and Lance Storm's ass! Because Brock, Kurt you are going to physically destroy them and let them know that The Revolution is an unstoppable force! And then we have Sabu and Leviathan, tonight you have an important tag team match aswell, a number one contenders match to the tag team titles, a match to prove just how good your team is, just how good The Revolution is! Tonight all you have to do is defeat the tag team of DDP and Kane and the shot at WWE Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble is yours! Just imagine the power we have, how unified we are, how untouchable our faction is, This is only making us stronger, making us into a well oiled team. So Brock, Kurt, lets go to the ring and show why The Revolution is the best faction in history, show all the people that WE MEAN BUSINESS!!
**Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar walk out giving mean stares to Sabu and Leviathan as they leave which Heyman doesn't pick up on, could things be boiling up here behind Heyman's back?! or is it just a friendly rivalry like Paul Heyman suggests?!**
*Change of scene*
**The scene changes to where we see the end of the footage we just saw being shown live on a WWE backstage monitor, the camera zooms out and we then see Lance Storm watching closely as transmittion ends and from out of the scene Eddie Guerrero walks up behind Lance Storm**
Eddie : Yo what you worrying about Holmes? We got the match covered tonight, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar will feel MY LATINO HEEEEEAT!! And you will show them some, well whatever you have, how you say? Chariiiisma!!!
Lance : I don't appreciate jokes Edward, now you better be focused for this match becau....
(Eddie's attention is taken away from Lance as Victoria walks into shot...)
Eddie : Hold on a second homey, I gotta catch a word with my mama ciiiita!
(Lance shakes his head and starts to walk away from the scene down a corridor but he bumps into non other than KANE!)
Lance : Sorry Kane, I'm just on my way to the ring, excuse me....
Kane : Don't worry Lance, It's ok, I hope you have a good match tonight, I hope you and Eddie beat Kurt and Brock, because you'll be weakening them , not that we need to face them when they are not 100% fit, you'll be affecting the team for when we face them at The Royal Rumble for the tag team titles and sweep up the remains, because It's me and DDP who are going to face them at The Royal Rumble, not Sabu or Leviathan because tonight DDP and The Beg Red Machine are going to set those sorry bastards a light right here tonight in Milwauke! *cheap pop!*
(Lance looks at Kane funny...before walking off, the camera focuses on Kane who's expression changes as he see's somebody walking his way, the camera switches around to see DDP, who is wearing a Kane mask and his normal wide smile! Kane looks at the camera funny as the scene changes back to ringside again)
JR : Ok that was a bit different to say the least, some interesting things definately. The Tag Team Title division definately seems to be hotting up as of late....Looks like Kane and Lance are the only people taking these matches seriously, DDP and Eddie seem to be a bit casual going into these matches...
King : Speaking of hot! did you see Victoria! and Latinoooo Heeeeaat JR!
JR : Yeah I did but in any event....here comes the next match and it should be a barnburner!

Match 2
"Revenge is a B*tch"
After Lance Storm's attack on Angle some weeks ago, and Guerrero's controversial win last week against Brock, can the tag champs get some revenge?
Tornado Tag Team Match
Brock Lesnar(Tag) & Kurt Angle(Tag) Vs Lance Storm & Eddie Guerrero
JR: King next up we have a tornado tag team match pitting the tag team champions against a team of Lance Storm and Eddie Guerrero. You just know its gonna be a fast paced high octane match!. The match has been dubbed Revenge is a bitch and perhaps the tag team champs can get some of that tonight. Towards the end of 2002 Lance Storm and Christian injured Kurt Angle, his neck cant have recovered yet Lance and Guerrero are going to be going straight for his neck.
King: Well why wouldn�t he, Lance Storm is a master submission expert, like many of our Canadian athletes, no doubt Lance has been cooking up some special holds just for that very purpose. As for Eddie Guerrero, and Brock Lesnar things are gonna pick up where the left off last week. Lesnar isn�t make as much of an impact as he shoulder in my eyes, perhaps he will change things around tonight. After Eddie Guerrero making a fool of him last week, and Heyman for that matter. Heyman threw in brock�s tag title so Brock could hit Eddie, then Eddie tricked him, hit him with his own title, put the belt on, went to the turnbuckle and hit the frogsplash to victory.
(( DURN DURN DEN ... DUN DUN DEN DUN ** HERE COMES THE PAIN **))
[Half of the tag team champs walks out wearing his �Here Comes the Pain� T-shirt, behind we see Paul Heyman holding his tag team championship. Brock paces back and for on the top of the ramp, before walking down to ring. Once at ringside he jumps up onto the apron, and gets into the ring]
JR: Lesnar is pumped for this match he�s ready to go...
(( DUN DUN DUN DA DA DA DER DER *you suck* DER DER *you suck* DER DER ))
[Kurt walks out with the tag team championship strapped around his waist, he begins to walk down, he stops half way, pauses, throws his hands into the air pointing to the ceiling, red white and blue pyrotechnics shot up intot he air. Nce they have finished he walks to the ring and slides in to meet with Brock]
King: Well there are the tag team champs both members of the Revolution, later tonight we will see the other two members face off against DDP and Kane for the contender ship to those very titles.
(( CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF ** LANCE STORM ** ))
[Lance Storm walks out with a stern look on his face, he looks straight in the crowd. He then makes a cross with arms, then makes his way to the ring. Storm waits at the foot of the ramp, Angle screams at Storm to get in. Storm just laughs]
(( LLLLLLLLLaaaaaaaaaaaaaTTTTTTTTTTTTTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNNNNNNNNNNNooooooooooooooo HEEEEEAT!!))
[Eddie Guerrero walks out wearing a pair of red wrestling pants, with flames on the side. He walks to the top of the ramp, and then waits, behind him is Victoria. They both begin to walk down to the ring, Eddie gives Victoria a kiss on the cheek before entering the ring. She doesn�t look to pleased with Eddie]
King: This is going to be a tough match for Eddie as he pointed earlier in the week, Brock Is going to be going for him, Kurt will be because he�s Brock�s partner... and even his owner partner will be wanting some revenge for his team mate Christian
JR: Well Latino Heat interfered in the main event last week hitting Christian with a frogsplash he�s only got himself to blame! Here we go the bell sounds, Brock lunges at Eddie, he knocks him flat on his back. Kurt goes at Lance Storm, pushing him back into the corner. Brock stomping the hell out Eddie Guerrero on the mat, Victoria is screaming at Brock, Eddie rolls out of the ring, and leaves Storm to fight both men. Kurt brings Storm out of the corner.. Irish whip into the path of Brock.... CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL.. that span Lance Storm 180!. The power of that many is un believable, Eddie is gaining composure on the outside, he�s giving instructions to Victoria, she�s up on the apron, calling Brock everything under the sun. He swung for her, Victoria ducked, Eddie pounced up on the apron...GOOZLE on the ropes. Eddie using his own weight to choke Brock with the ropes. Eddie now rolls back into the ring, he picks Brock up. Snap mare suplex to Brock
King: Lance Storm is finally getting into the match now, after a few minutes of offence from Kurt Angle. Lance Storm, takes Kurt down with a scouted Hip toss, arm bar across the throat of our Olympic hero being applied now. The referee isnt happy about this and is telling Storm to release the hold. Its because he�s Canadian JR! They are racist!
JR: That�s got nothing to do with, Storm is using the ropes to add even more pressure to Kurt, that�s why he aint happy. Eddie Guerrero and Brock lock up here, Eddie goes for a spine buster on the next big thing, Brock escapes and connects with a side Russian leg sweep, Brock Lesnar with the first pin attempt of the match 1��.2.. no, Guerrero manages to get a shoulder up. Lance Storm wit a boot to Brock. Maybe Storm and Guerrero can work together on this one?. Lance and Storm hock Brock up.. Double suplex. But here comes Angle with a diving shoulder barge knocking Guerrero down to the mat. Nice bit of team work from Guerrero and Storm. Kurt Angle a little groggy, but is doing a number on Latino Heat. He�s get Eddie up now, knife edge chops to Guerrero.. taking Guerrero back onto the ropes. HUGE CHOP.. it sends him over the top rope. Victoria is rushing over to see if Edde is ok. Guerrero is furious, he starts screaming at Angle and telling him he�s part of the problem. That problem is the so called Cancer of this company. Even though Kurt is one of the most technical sound wrestlers on this brand and in this whole industry. I dunno go figure.
King: Yeah I guess your right JR, HA HA. But this Latino Heat, the daddy of the frog splash, and don�t you forget that ok!. Eddie rolls back into the ring, but Brock and Kurt have managed to do some serious damage to Lance. Some nice team work has been going down in that ring, Kurt nailed Storm with a stunning rolling belly to belly suplex. And Brock picked him straight up into a huge back breaker. Eddie is here to even the odds now, Eddie with knife edge chops to Kurt Angle. He�s backing him into the corner, Storm is up aswell now. Storm with a massive standing drop kick to the Next Big Thing. Eddie has Kurt up on the turnbuckle, what could Latino Heat be up to here by here?. Eddie up on the turnbuckle now� HURIRICANRANA OFF THE TURNBUCKLE!. Im not sure Kurt has the slightest idea where he is right now?. Eddie makes a hook of the leg 1��..2� Kurt grabs the bottom rope. Eddie over to stop the pummelling on Lance Storm. I am surprised how well Storm and Guerrero are working as a team, perhaps better than the current tag champs?. Eddie Guerrero Irish whip to Lesnar� MY GOD!. SUPER KICK to Brock Lesnar�s head. Lance Storm makes the cover 1�..2�. Kurt Angle with an elbow drop to break the cover. Lance keeps up the onslaught on Brock, whilst Kurt Angle shows Guerrero his technical ability, GERMAN to Latino Heat... Kurt going for an Angle slam, he connects 1.....2.. Victoria is up on the apron, she�s distracting the referee, it gives Eddie enough to come around and get out of the pin attempt. Look at Storm though, he has Brock in the middle of the ring... Canadian Maple Leaf submission hold locked in. Lets see this giant sized man can cope with this? Kurt is trying to help him... BULLDOG to Kurt from Behind. Guerrero has kicked Kurt Angle out of the ring, he�s now slapping Brock�s face whilst in the hold.
JR: Im not fan of Lesnar but that�s just damn dis-respectful. Brock Lesnar taps. He just tapped to Lance Storm. Paul Heyman cant believe it, Victoria is in the ring, Guerrero offers his hand to Storm. Storm thinks about it for a minute, and shakes his hand...
(( SMASH!!!! - THE RATTLESNAKE ))
JR: What the hell is this? Don�t tell me Stone Cold is here?
King: The internet rumours are true JR... Look there he is....
[Stone Cold walks out with his �Alcohol Fuelled� Tshirt and a pair fo jeans. Stone Cold slowly makes his way down to the ring, Guerreor and Storm don�t know what to make of this. Stone Cold rolls into the ring, walks straight passed Lance Storm, and barges past Eddie Guerrero to get at the turnuckle. Eddie cant believe it he is enraged. Stone Cold is screaming at the fans to give him an hell yeah. Eddie Guerrero calls for a microphone]
Eddie: hold up there now essa, what the hell do you think you are doing, strolling down here. You got no business being here homes, you loco or something huh? And whats even worse is that you walks past Lance, completely ignoring him, then barge past me.... LATINO HEAT... Eddie Guerrero...
[Stone Cold gets down from the ropes, he takes the microphone from Eddie, which pisses Eddie off even more. Stone Cold pauses, because the shear noise the crowd is making is overwhelming]
Stone Cold: .............................WHAT?!
JR: Boot to the gut... STONE COLD STUNNER TO GUERRERO... Storm swings at Austin, he ducks... boot to him as well... Stunner to Storm!. Brock Lesnar is up... Stunner to Lesnar.... Heyman is sending in Kurt Angle.. Angle went for a clothesline, he missed, Angle sends him into the ropes.... LOU THESZ PRESS.... Austin battering the shit out of Angle here.. Stone Cold gets up... wait Guerrero is back up... ANOTHER STUNNER TO GUERRERO... It�s mayhem down here... Angle is up after that beat down... STUNNER TO HIM.. Austin is hitting anything that moves... Storm pulls Guerrero from the ring. Heyman is screaming at Brock and Angle to get out of the ring. Stone Cold is calling for some beers now... OH HELL YEAH! The texas rattle snake is back folks.
[After Stone Cold catches a few beer�s he climbs up on the turnbuckle smashes two cans together and pours them in his mouth]
King: What the hell is going on? Stone Cold is going to pay for this you don�t just go around stunnering everyone in the ring!
Winners of the match : Eddie Guerrero and Lance Storm
[The show goes to a commercial break]
---
JR : My heart is still racing from the return of The Texas Rattlesnake King! But camera's must go backstage now as we can see Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the second time tonight, he's got lots of paperwork on his desk as he is watching the evenings events from a monitor.
King : Yes he's a very busy man as of late, but look who's this? It's an Eastenders special! In walks Scott Hall! We haven't seen him in months! Scott Hall is back...and he's on RAW!
[Hollywood Hulk Hogan stands up and goes to shake Scott's hand but Scott gives him a Soccer A.M special Schoolboy error! moving his hand away and instead putting his hand in the air and he wants to do the nWo sign with Hogan, Hogan chuckles and tells Hall to take a seat...]
[Hogan]
So Scott! We've agreed terms for you to wrestle here on RAW! You have a verbal agreement, it's almost like a trial period with us. You have to impress on Raw buddy, because friend or no friend you'll be off RAW if you mess up this time!
(fans very mixed towards Hulk Hogan again...)
[The Bad Guy Scott Hall]
Alright Hogan, I appreciate you giving me this chance here on RAW! I love this business, just unfortunately that the last spell I was here I loved beer more than i did wrestling, so that sent me down paths that I dont want to cross again, but it's 2003, the year of The Bad Guy! So Hogan the message is simply HEY YO Scott Hall is back and he's back on RAW!
[Scott Hall stands up and leaves Hogan's office, leaving Hogan puzzled and showing signs of Hogan thinking he is being disrespected!...Hogan is just about to start with some more paperwork but just then in bursts TAZ! it's a bit random and very unexpected, Taz has a black towel in his hands and he seems to be covering something up....]
[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]
I'm sorry Taz I don't hav....
[Taz]
Hogan, I'm here to make an announcement on my last appearance on WWE RAW! I'm going to announce that my match tonight with Shane Douglas will be the best of five series match that never happened! This will be the final showdown, this will be the match that every fan wanted, but never got! This will be THE BARBED WIRE MATCH!!!
JR : Oh my god King! a BARBED WIRE MATCH!!
[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]
I can't sanction that! Taz I know this is your last night and you want to be remembered, and you want to go out in a blaze of glory! But think about it from my perspective! Shane Douglas is one of the top athletes on RAW! He's the Inter-Continental and Hardcore Champion! Imagine if he gets injured tonight! What would that mean for business? So Taz, I'm afraid I reject your proposition...
(fans boo Hogan here as he says this, Hogan seems to be losing popularity as of late with some of the things he has done...)
[Taz]
Ok Hogan, I had a feeling you were going to say that! and that is why I brought something along with me, that will GUARANTEE that this match will happen! I brought this along with me........(gets rid of the towel to reveal what is in his hands...THE ECW CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!!!)
King : That's the ECW CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!! TAZ was the last holder of that belt in WWE Sadistic after ECW went out of business!
[Taz]
You see Hogan this match will take place and there is nothing that WWE Sadistic can do about it! So DDP and Kane and Sabu and Leviathan had better have a good match up next because that is the official RAW Main Event! and after that E C W takes over RAW! and Taz and Shane Douglas tear down the arena for the best match in the history of RAW! It's been nice doing business with you Mr. Hogan!
**Hogan is shocked at what he just heard as Taz leaves the room with the ECW Title, The fans in the ringside area are going mental they didn't expect this at all!
**Commercial**

Match Three
No Outside Interference
No.1 Contendership to WWE Tag Team Titles
DDP / Kane vs Sabu / Leviathan
We come back from a commercial and Sabu and Leviathan are already in the ring awaiting their opponents, this match as we just heard is the last official Raw Brand Match of the night but nonetheless it should be a corker as the number one contendership for the tag team titles at this January's Royal Rumble is on the line!!
((( YO IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S D.D.P >>> BOOM!! - SLOW CHEMICAL )))
Kane and Diamond Dallas Page's music combined by the expertise of Jim Johnston as they make their way out to the ring...Kane looks funny at DDP who is still wearing the Kane mask from the comical showing earlier. Kane and DDP slide into the ring and we are under way straight away here!
JR : DDP is going toe to toe with Sabu as Kane is battling away with Leviathan. DDP knocking down Sabu to the canvas with a discus clothesline here as now Kane uppercuts Leviathan to the outside! Kane now looks at DDP and DDP smiles back at Kane wearing that mask and now Kane raising his arms and BOOM!! the pyro's explode from the turnbuckles as now DDP pulls up Sabu and Irish whips him at Kane who executes a Back Body Drop on Sabu who goes flying to the outside on the opposite side of the ring to where Leviathan is!
King : Both members of The Revolution need to get sorted out here, this is an important match, Sabu and Leviathan regrouping now as Kane climbs onto the apron and DDP is going to start this match legally! But now Sabu and Levitahan slide into the ring and start double teaming DDP here! This isn't fair by any means it's supposed to be a tag team match, not like the Tornado match we saw earlier! Kane now stepping over the top rope to get back into the ring but Leviathan runs at him and clotheslines him to the outside! Sabu and Leviathan now Irish whip DDP at the ropes and he comes back into a Double Back Drop...but DDP counters into a DOUBLE DDT!! Excellent counter there!
JR : DDP now is back up and he straightens his mask a little as he goes to the outside to help Kane, but Kane doesn't need any help I don't think he slides back inside and DDP follows back in, Kane now pulls up Sabu and grabs him by the neck, looking for a CHOKE SLAM...But Sabu counters with a low blow via a kick, DDP then kicks Sabu in the midsection and what the hell? DDP grabs Sabu by the neck instead and CHOKE SLAM by DDP!! DDP now into the cover 1........Leviathan pulls DDP off Sabu and now Leviathan grabs DDP's right arm, and comes across with his own right arm with a devastating Clothesline to DDP but keeping ahold of his arm and pulling him back up! Leviathan then now gets DDP and puts his head between his legs, looking for the sitout powerbomb here maybe? DDP is going to get planted here but no Kane is back and GOOZLE!! Kane has Leviathan by the neck and DDP escapes but now Kane loosens his grip on Leviathan whats he doing? Kane now just staring at Leviathan and now Leviathan wonders what is going on as does DDP! Kane now kick to Leviathans gut and DIAMOND CUTTER!!! DIAMOND CUTTER TO LEVIATHAN!! DDP now covers Leviathan and Kane covers Sabu who is still down from the DDP CHOKE SLAM 1......2......3 double cover there both men being counted down for three what an embarassment for Sabu and Leviathan, it's gonna be Brock and Kurt vs Kane and DDP at the Royal Rumble!
Winners : DDP and Kane No.1 Contenders for the Tag Team Titles!
King : Wow what a crazy match! Kane now raises his arms and BOOM!! explosions from the turnbuckles again as now DDP's music plays over the PA system, they look a pretty good tag team, they could give Angle and Brock a run for there money at the Rumble!

**Backstage**
The camera's cut to the parking lot where we hear a huge commotion, we don't know what is happening, until the camera's spin around and we see the man that has been barred from entering the arena tonight by Hulk Hogan, the WWE Undisputed Champion TRIPLE H!!! he is wearing his denim and holding a SLEDGEHAMMER!!! Stephanie is just about in shot holding her husbands Undisputed Title...
(the fans pop at seeing Triple H on the titantron, they didn't think they would see him tonight after the unpopular decision of barring him from the arena...)
[Triple H]
Hey everyone, I hope your all having a good time watching RAW in that arena just there..
( we see a surreal establishing shot showing Triple H pointing at the arena that all the fans are sitting watching the footage from on the titantron)
[Triple H]
Well right now I'm in the V.I.P parking facility outside the arena, we have so many fancy cars, from so many fancy wrestlers and staff from the WWE! Look here we have Charles Robinson's car, the referee, look here at D-Lo Brown's BMW!! we have some nice vehicles out here, but i'm afraid that this one right here, right over here, follow me camera man oh and you too Steph, just over here, the red and yellow Hulkamobile, this one is going to have a little meeting with this Sledgehammer!
(Triple H raises his Sledgehammer ready to smash the front window, but then he stops and turns and smiles at the camera)
[Triple H]
Hulk Hogan, you better be watching this right now, because I want you to hear what I'm about to say, HULK HOGAN NEEDS TRIPLE H!! So you let me into the arena next week or I will get personal with you Hogan, so if you do decide not to let me in next week, well it will quite frankly be the last decision you ever make!
(Triple H now takes the Undisputed Championship from Stephanie and climbs onto Hogan's bonnet and then climbs onto the roof of the car! Triple H now throws his arms in the air with his Sledgehammer in one hand and Undisputed Title in the other! Making a very bold statement again this week to Hogan! What will be Hogan's reaction to this!)
---
**Split screen is shown with Taz and Shane Douglas preparing for the upcoming Barbed Wire Matcjh, as the WWE logo in the bottom corner changes to an ECW logo, the camera then goes ringside where a special ECW ring crew seem to be setting up the sddadistic environment, we guess the special ring crew are people that Taz knows from ECW and he has been planning this for quite a while! The match is up next after the commercial!**

King : And here comes the challenger! That sounds quite strange, it's not often when the challenger for a championship belt has two belts of his own already!
JR : That's a great point King, since his return to WWE Sadistic he's set many records for win-loss records, championship reigns and the amount of titles he's held, he's been a great addition to the RAW Brand and now he's got a chance at the title I think he will want the most, the ECW Heavyweight Title!
King : He's in the ring now, he looks a little reluctant because of that barbed wire, but so would any man! sensibly Francine seems to have stayed backstage for this one!...Also Douglas wearing a pair of denim jeans and a long sleeve Franchise jumper, suitable ring attire to at least help protect him from this barbed wire a little bit more than just bare flesh
((( KISS - WAR MACHINE )))
JR : And now here comes Taz! with that ECW Championship around his waist for his last match ever on RAW! if it still officially is Raw, I don't know we do have Nick Patrick in there with his street clothes on and the normal set of camera men and we are still commentating so...It's a bit surreal but I'm looking forward to it!
King : That makes two of us as, Taz also wearing more suitable ring attire, a pair of black tracksuit bottoms aswell as an orange 13 shirt and his black denim FTW jacket...Taz now getting in the ring as Shane Douglas calls for a microphone..
[The Franchise]
Taz, I'd just like to say that I'm very disappointed to see you leave the WWE, I mean you gave me the best four matches of my career, but like you said earlier it never quite went to the fifth, which would have been a Barbed Wire Match so Taz before we start this match let me shake your god damn hand because you are one tough son of a bitch and you earned my respect, something that many people have done before!
JR : A nice gesture there from Shane Douglas and Taz shaking his hand, very respectful, a good thing to see we dont usually see anything like this.....OH NO!! I spoke to soon folks Douglas with a low kick to Taz!
[The Franchise]
Taz! Like I said, this match never happened, it never happened because I WAS TOO GOOD!! I KICKED YOUR ASS and we didn't need match five! I fought long and hard so that this match WOULDN'T HAPPEN!!! and now in your last match you want this? Well Taz this isn't going to be the last match of your life, it's going to be the LAST DAY of your life!!!
King : OH MY GOD!!!
JR : The Franchise now crashes the microphone over Taz's skull and now starts stomping him down in the middle of this sadistic environment!! Douglas now getting boo'd out of the arena as he pulls up Taz and locks in a side headlock and cranks up the pressure! Taz however counters with shots to the midsection and a Side Suplex! Taz into a cover 1.........2......Douglas kicking out, and now Taz into another ladderal press 1........2.......Douglas kicks out again and Taz now grabs the arm of Douglas and looks for a Fujiwama armbar on Douglas, Douglas now is in pain but quickly gets to the ropes but as quickly as he grabs it he lets go cutting his hand in the barbed wire! It's just instinctive from Douglas! he isn't at all prepared for this!
King : Taz now letting go as he starts to stomp Douglas on the ground, Taz now takes the ECW Title off his waist and holds it in the air and the crowd start an ECW chant, Taz now puts the title down on Douglas chest and stomps him! Taz now pulls up Douglas and attempts an irish whip but Douglas counters into a neckbreaker! excellent counter there! and both men are down...Patrick now beginning to count both men out, 1.........2.......3........4.........5.......both men getting up with each others aid in the centre of the ring, Taz goes for a right hand but its blocked by Douglas who comes back with three punches of his own and now he has Taz right next to the barbed wire! He is almost leaning on it, he goes now for one last shot to knock Taz onto that sadistic wire but Taz counters with a backdrop and Douglas goes straight to the outside and to the hard floor! miraculously both men are unscathed from that!
JR : Miraculously is correct! Douglas now on the outside as Taz stands in the ring waiting for him to climb back inside...Douglas is stirring, but he appears to be leaving up the aisle, he wants no part of Taz! Taz now coming outside through the barbed wire and up the aisle and Douglas doesn't see this and Taz catches him in the TAZMISSION in the aisleway! and he's restraining him, he's gradually becoming unconscious as Taz brings him back to ringside!! Taz now rolls him back inside and it looks as though the lights are off in the Douglas household!
King : JR! This means that we have an unconscious man in this environment? Taz gets a chair now from under the ring and rolls it inside! Taz now looks under the ring for something else? what's he looking for? OH NO!! Taz emerged with a LADDER! This isn't a Ladder Match!
**Camera's go backstage for a few seconds and we see Hulk Hogan stand up from his seat and leave, saying that he's seen enough and he's going back to the hotel!**
JR : Wow what is that all about? Hogan leaving? Taz now back into the ring with a ladder and the chair as he sets up the ladder in the corner of the ring next to the ringpost, Taz now pulls up Douglas and Irish whip into the Ladder!! Taz now picks up the chair and sets it up just in front of Douglas, Taz now what does he have planned? He runs at Douglas springs off the chair and looks for a Splash on Douglas in the corner but Douglas moves and Taz only finds the ladder to smash into!! Douglas now picks up the chair and now Taz grogilly out of the corner taken down with a viscious STEEL CHAIR SHOT!!!
King : Straight from hell Douglas taking down Taz! Douglas into a cover 1........2..............Taz somehow shoots a shoulder off the canvas!! He's not losing from a chair shot! Douglas is frustrated now that he didn't just win this match as he now gets the chair and crashes it down against the barbed wire ropes and the top rope on one side of the ring just collapses, Douglas now seems to have an idea, he's wrapping some of the barbed wire that snapped around the bottom of his boots!! That is a sadistic idea, he's planning to stomp down Taz with barbed wire boots? Douglas now looking to stomp Taz's head here but Taz avoids the contact and leg sweeps Douglas, Taz now grabs the steel chair and as Douglas is getting up he catches him with a chair shot to the gut, he drops the chair and follows up with a DDT!!! onto the chair!! Taz now goes for a cover 1..............2............3NO!! Douglas kicked out somehow, but I thought that was a three? so did Taz! He can't believe it, I think Douglas must have just got his shoulder up! That's the closest count you'll ever see! as now Taz pulls up Douglas and now Irish whips him at one side of the ring and he goes ploughing through the barbed wire to the outside of the ring next to the barracade collapsing the barbed wire on that side of the ring!!!
Crowd
HOLY SH*T!! HOLY SH*T!!
JR : I think the crowd have got that right! Douglas has been incopacitated! Douglas has barbed wire stuck into his clothes, it must have carried through and marked his flesh though! His jumper has a few rips in it and some barbed wire still hanging off him! It's sadistic out here! Taz now sets up the ladder in the ring as now he goes outside and gets something from under the ring....That's a Table! We've got Tables Ladders and Chairs out here and that's not even the sadistic part folks! Taz now sets up the table in the ring against a set of the barbed wire ropes that are still there! Taz now out to Douglas who is still suffering on the outside, Taz wraps the wire around Douglas body now and pushes him back into the ring! I think this is the most sadistic thing I've ever witnessed! And I've witnessed a lot in my time!
King : Taz now leaning Douglas who is wrapped in the barbed wire against the table that is resting next to the ropes, Taz now climbing the ladder, but the ladder is too far away? what's Taz thinking? But now Douglas is away from the ropes and he climbs the ladder aswell, still wrapped in wire, he is exchanging blows with Taz at the top of that ladder and now Douglas with the advantage, shot to Taz's face i think he bloodied his nose with that closed fist and now Douglas setting something up here? OH MY GOD!! He's not going to do this? SUPERPLEX OFF THE LADDER THROUGH A TABLE AND THE BARBED WIRE ROPES!!!! Taz must be damn near half dead after that!
JR : STOP THE DAMN MATCH!
King : I agree we need help out here for Taz, for both men infact!
Crowd
HOLY SH*T!! HOLY SH*T!!
JR : Taz is barely moving the ropes on every side of the ring have collapsed now, that superplex took down the ropes halfway around the ring!! the sheer impact destroyed the ropes, Douglas himself took a hard fall. Douglas now looks down from the canvas to see Taz a bloody mess on the outside of the ring! Douglas now gingerly goes outside and grabs Taz and rolls whats left back inside!! Douglas goes back in himself and makes the cover 1...........2................TAZ KICKS OUT!!! TAZ KICKS OUT!! This match isn't over! I can't believe that! I dont think anyone can! Douglas now looks angry and he stands up and picks up Taz aswell, he kicks him in the gut, what's going to do here? POWERBOMB ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!! Douglas now hooks back Taz's legs 1................2.................3 Taz loses on his last ever match and he also loses the ECW Championship!! God Almighty what a match!!! Taz has nothing to be ashamed of! That's one of the greatest matches I've ever seen!!!
Winner : Shane Douglas NEW ECW Heavyweight Champion!!!
**Camera's go backstage and we are in Hogan's office that he left during the last match! but we hear some beeping and the camera focuses on a mobile phone, we assume it is Hogan's and we hear a voice message as the crowd goes silent in the arena...**
Voice Message : Hey, I just finished watching RAW and what a rubbish show it was yet again! I don't mind, I want my opposition not be as good as my show SmackDown! But I just finished watching the Main Event and Shane Douglas is the rason why I am leaving you this message, Hogan I am holding you directly responsible for any injuries Shane Douglas may be carrying!
