JR : Welcome everybody to another edition of RAW! Tonight�s episode has the potential of being an absolute classic with four huge matches planned. Booker T will wrestle Shelton Benjamin in our opening contest followed by a non title tag team match with newcomers Raven and Justin Credible battling the tag team champions since Wrestlemania XIX Kane and Chris Benoit! We will also see The Rock in action against Charlie Haas, both men making their in ring return tonight on RAW! And then our Main Event a non title, 15 minute Submission Match between Olympic Champion and leader of Team Angle, Kurt Angle against the Un-American and Inter-Continental Champion since the Battle Dome match in February, Lance Storm!
King : That�s a long list of impressive matches here tonight! Not to mention that the whole of Team Angle are returning from injuries in such competitive matches, but they will have it no other way! Booker T will be looking to persuade Hulk Hogan on the whole situation surrounding the now and speaking of Hogan what is his mind set after getting punk�d by The Rock last week on RAW? And if that wasn�t all, our WWE Undisputed Champion will be in the house! Amongst other things!
JR : Yeah that�s right and there are also rumours that here tonight that a wrestler that debuted this time last year on the Smackdown brand is going to re-debut here tonight on RAW! I have no idea who that may be
King : Oh I�m in the know this week JR! I know who it is!
JR : Come on are you going to tell us King?
King : I wouldn�t dare, but it will be a BIG SURPRISE let me tell you!
**The camera�s cut backstage where we see Booker T wearing a nWo T-shirt , we see him pulling on his wrestling Reebok gloves and throwing a few punches and kicks warming up, he is on his own in a corridor but just then we see walking down the corridor behind Booker, Hollywood Hulk Hogan himself and the fans in the arena start to cheer. Hogan is wearing his red and yellow Hulkamania outfit as he comes up behind Booker, Booker senses Hogan�s presence and spins around to face him and gives him a smile**
[Booker T]
Hey if it aint the creator of the nWo himself, Hollywood Hogan how�s it going homes?
[Hulk Hogan]
Yeah Booker as a matter of fact I�m a little bit pissed off here tonight, after what The Rock did to me last week, I�ve had no rest all week with my cellfone ringing all week with people wanting to sign up to the RAW Brand, something is telling me that I�m not going to be able to put up with this much longer unless things around here start to change!
[Booker T]
I know what your talkin about Sucka, I saw it last week The Rock totally disrespected you and that aint cool, but ya see if you join The Book, the 5 time, 5 time, 5 time, 5 time, 5 time wCw Champion and come back rollin� on with the nWo, nWo style brotha! Then me and you can teach The Rock a lesson in respect you in homes?
[Hulk Hogan]
That�s exactly what I�m talking about Booker, It�s not just The Rock who is disrespecting me, YOUR DISRESPECTING ME! You see the nWo is dead, I made the nWo and I damn sure killed the nWo, and now here in 2003 you of all people want to resurrect something that isn�t yours? You want to bring back to life the nWo? Well Booker by doing that you are disrespecting yourself, these fans and every single Hulkamaniac on the face of this earth! Booker you were impressive last week beating Benoit albeit with underhand tactics but you don�t need that, your above that I know you are Booker, you don�t need the nWo and the nWo certainly doesn�t need you! But you can go ahead and bore these fans with the nWo once more, but you don�t have my support and you damn sure dont have the support of any Hulkamaniacs and that�s all I want to say on that issue, I think I�ve made myself crystal clear! But anyway Booker I�ve got bigger fish to fry, I need to go to the ring later and address The Rock after his little act he performed last week on Chris Jericho�s Highlight Reel!
**Hulk Hogan then walks out of shot down the corridor as Booker T gives a mean stare, Booker T then leaves in the opposite direction towards the ring where he is up against Shelton Benjamin next!**
King : What do you make of that JR?
JR : Well King, I think it may have had the same effects as last week, I think that Hogan may just be motivating Booker T rather than stopping him going ahead with reforming the nWo, we�ll just have to wait and see because that match is next! Shelton Benjamin vs Booker T, Benjamin returns NEXT! **RAW Commercial for Shelton Benjamin**
Match One
Shelton Benjamin vs Booker T
King: Were kicking Raw off with singles action with a criminal from Texas, and a All American in the world of wrestling, do we even need to guess who�s going to win this. A common street thug, Booker T against the returning Team Angle member, Shelton Benjamin. This is going to be an issue for all three returning members of Team Angle, but JR will Shelton�s ankle be a concern in this match. I know these thug type JR, and they are ruthless and I will win at any cost!
JR: Yeah I think any half intelligent opponent is going to focus on an opponents weakness, and unfortunately for Benjamin it�s common knowledge of his injury and Booker is going to take full advantage of that, but that is going to be the case where ever a member of Team Angle is wrestling tonight!
(( CAN YOU DIG SUCKAAAAA?! #static#...... New�..new � new World order!))
[Booker T walks out wearing a nWo t-shirt on, this gets a mixed response from the crowd. Booker gets down to the ring with his flames shooting up behind him. Booker rolls into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle and signals the nWo with his hand, his posing gets interrupted by Team Angle�s music]
(( DER DER DER DER DURR DURR *YOU SUCK* DURR DURR * YOU SUCK*))
[Shelton walks out sporting the team�s colour�s, he gets a good response from the crowd. Shelton runs down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope into the ring. Shelton bounces off the ropes, and ignores the harsh words from Booker]
King: Here we go the bell sounds, will the low life criminal Booker T progress and get two wins to his name, or will the first member of Team Angle get the ball rolling for his team. Booker T is trying desperately to get someone to join his New World Order, he even offered Shelton Benjamin a place. JR why don�t you ask him if you can join the band?, I�m sure he�s got loads more of those t-shirts in his locker room?
JR: I�m no wrestler King�
King: I don�t think that matters to Booker HA HA. Booker send�s Shelton into the ropes, Booker goes for the short arm clothesline, Shelton had it scouted, standing drop kick to Booker T. Booker T stumbles into the ropes, oohhh the Bookerman didn�t like that at all. Booker charges at Shetlona gain, massive shoulder block from booker. Shelton is sent to the mat, Booker off the ropes, ELBOW DROP to the chest of Shelton Benjamin. Booker T now strangling Shelton, referee Nick Patrick isn�t happy with that, gives Booker a warning. Booker T backs off, he allows Shelton to get up, Booker with an attempted AXE KICK� Benjamin ducked it� NECK BREAKER from Benjamin. Shelton going to Booker with some mat work, here�s where the amateur background of this youngster starts to become an advantage, suplex from Shetlon, Booker back up walked straight into BELLY TO BELLY SLAM. Shelton with an inside cradle for the first pin attempt 1��.2�� Booker with a clean break. Both men up Shelton charges at Booker, Booker with a SPINE BUSTER on Shelton, gets him back on his feet, IRISH WHIP into the ropes, FLYING CLOTHESLINE to Shelton, Booker with a hock of the leg 1���.2��. Shelton got a shoulder up. Booker is complaining to Patrick, claiming it was a slow count, I�m surprised Booker can count to 3 HA HA.
JR: You jest about Booker T, but he is very talented and very determined to do well, and you got to give credit for that! Perhaps a little in-experienced, while Booker was been complaining Shelton has prepared himself, he�s snuck up behind Booker GERMAN SUPLEX from Shelton, he�s got his arms wrapped around Booker he�s going for another ride� second German, Shelton maybe going for a third. Booker hammering away with elbows to the head of Shelton.. Booker breaks himself free�. ROUND HOUSE KICK from Booker. That knocked the cob webs from Shetlon, Booker goes for another cover 1��.2�� Shelton gets a shoulder up. Booker is getting frustrated here, he�s pulled Shelton to the middle of the ring, he�s isolating the weaker ankle. For those of you who don�t know Shelton was out for quite some weeks, we initially thought he may have bruised his ankle it turned up he had torn some major ligaments in his ankle, and like I said Booker is taking full advantage of this newly healed Ankle. Booker using his knee, bending and twisting that ankle. Shelton is screaming in pain. Booker now off the ropes, ELBOW DROP to that ankle. Shelton crawling into the corner, trying to recuperate. Shelton pulls himself out of the ring, Booker T is following. Shelton is over by the ring steps, Booker is laughing now and taunting Shelton. Shelton trying to get to his feet, but is limping after that brutal attack from Booker. The referee is counting both competitors out. Booker rolling in the ring and rolls back out to break the count. Shelton with a DROP TOE HOLD INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
King: Shelton bouncing Booker�s head off the steel steps. Now tosses him into the security barricade, Shelton picks Booker up and rolls him into the ring. Shelton gets on the apron, and starts to climb the turnbuckle. Booker is getting up� MISSLE DROP KICK from the turnbuckle. Both men are on the mat, each at the end of their tethers. Nick Patrick beings to count both men out, this could result in a count out for both men, Patrick up to 5 right here, Booker is stirring, trying to get to his feet and he�s up. Patrick up to 7, Shelton using the ropes to get to his feet. Booker is stalking him, ready for him to stand up� ROUND HOUSE KICK he connects, booker makes the cover 1���2�.. Shelton got a hold of the rope. Booker is irate he�s calling for the end, Booker gets Sheltn to his feet, boot to the gut� off the ropes�. SCISSOR�S KICK, Booker T with a school boy 1���2���..3! Booker T continues his streak, and Team Angle have not got a good start tonight!
Winner : Booker T
**Camera�s go backstage to a dark room where Kane is standing with his back to the camera holding his WWE Tag Team Championship over his shoulder, just then we see Chris Benoit come into shot holding his tag team title**
[Chris Benoit]
What the hell is the matter with you Kane? Where were you last week? Where have you been the past two months? I don�t have a clue where you live, you don�t have a number or any contacts, you don�t have any family members who can direct me to you whereabouts, Kane look man you probably don�t want to be my friend, you might not want to be social but whether you like it or not you are a tag team champion with Chris Benoit, we are partners, now I don�t know about you but I want to keep my tag team title for as long as I can! Kane you�ve turned up tonight and you haven�t looked me in the eye or spoke a damn word! What the hell is up with you?
**No answer from Kane**
[Chris Benoit]
You had better be ready for our match next Kane, remember last week, I don�t know if you were watching, if you have a television or where ever you hang out you heard about Chris Benoit? Well your partner Chris Benoit was beat by Booker T and your partner Chris Benoit was attacked in his locker room by two newcomers Raven and Justin Credible, we have to fight them tonight, the titles aren�t on the line but Kane you better screw your head on, I want to see Hell Fire and Brimstone tonight, I wanna see the man that is a 3 time and current WWE Raw Sadistic Tag Team Champion and Hardcore Champion! Not a lackadaisical seven-foot retard!
**Kane�s head is down and he lifts his head back quickly getting the hair out of his eyes and stares across at Benoit.**
[Chris Benoit]
So all those nerves weren�t burned in the fire then cos� I seemed to hit one right there! (fans ooooooh) I�ll see you in the ring Kane and bring your A game with you, we will need it to beat these two tough bastards here tonight!
**Chris Benoit then leaves the room, Kane then just stands their back to the camera and then suddenly lashes out kicking over a pile of boxes and pushing down some equipment, we can hear him groaning and he puts his hands to his head as the camera�s cut to ringside**
JR : What the hell was that all about?
King : Trouble in paradise for the Tag Team Champions here on RAW! What is going through the deranged mind of Kane?
**We now see a camera shot of Justin Credible and Raven walking towards the ring down a corridor as we go to a commercial break, up next we will see Chris Benoit and Kane battle Raven and Justin Credible in a non title match ordered by Ric Flair � dont go away!**
Match Two
Non Title Tag Team Match
Ordered by WWE Raw Commissioner Ric Flair
Chris Benoit & Kane vs Raven & Justin Credible
JR : Up next we have a non title tag team match as Raven and Justin Credible, the duo that debuted last week beating down Chris Benoit and intimidating Ric Flair pair up to face WWE Tag Team Champions Chris Benoit and Kane!
King : Yeah but what about what we saw before the break? Can the Tag Team Champions co-operate here tonight? This is perhaps the most unlikely tag team in WWE Sadistic history, how long will they last together?
((( Raven + Justin Credible )))
Raven and Justin Credible walk out together showing their unity, Raven is wearing a leather jacket and a pair of denim shorts and Justin Credible is wearing a pair of denim shorts also, these two could be a threatening tag team here on RAW and if they win tonight could be in line for a shot at the the tag team titles real soon.
(((Crippler Chris Benoit � Tag Team Champion)))
Chris Benoit walks out holding his tag team title and a toothless aggression t-shirt, he rips it off quickly and sprints towards the ring throwing away his title and slides inside and showing why he is called the Wolverine fighting away ravenously with Credible and Raven with stern chops but eventually the numbers catch up with Credible with a kick to Benoit�s gut and Raven takes him down with a clothesline, Where the hell is Kane? Raven and Justin Credible now are kicking away at Benoit........
((( BOOM � DURN DERDELLA DURN DER � SLOW CHEMICAL )))
JR : Arghhhhhh! It�s Kane! Kane now walks out and drops his tag team title halfway down the rampway he gets to the ring and slides in and meets Justin Credible who runs at him and he clotheslines him down, now Raven leaves Benoit and runs at him but gets caught with an uppercut, Credible is back up and now Kane catches Justin with an uppercut as now the referee now goes to Kane and tells him to get to the corner, this match hasn�t officially started as now Raven goes to the corner, also Justin gets up with a saw jaw and starts trash talking Kane before going to work on Benoit who is getting up by the ropes and the referee is restraining Kane from getting in the ring as we are now underway.
King : Benoit now getting pummelled with right hands from Justin Credible by the ropes but Benoit now blocking and coming back with some knife edge chops stunning Credible and now Benoit has Justin in the corner and Irish whip to the opposite side as now Benoit runs at Justin for a splash but Justin gets his feet up knocking Benoit down quick and hard, Justin could have knocked Benoit out right there! As now Justin makes a cover, haha feet on the ropes 1.........2.........Benoit kicks out still! Justin now pulls up Benoit and executes a SNAP SUPLEX towards the corner where Raven is and then makes the tag to Raven
JR : This Raven is a really dangerous character, we�ve seen him here before in WWE Sadistic and he�s had his troubles with Chris Benoit. Raven now goes down and chokes Benoit with both hands, Raven is choking the life out of Benoit as now he stands up and walks across the ring to Kane taunting him, Kane comes in to try to get to Raven but the referee stops him and now Justin comes in and Raven and Justin double team Benoit stomping away at him, Justin goes back outside as Raven pulls up Benoit and the referee is back on the job, Raven now picks up Benoit SIDEWALK SLAM and into a cover 1............2.............Benoit kicks out! Benoit now being lifted up again as Raven pushes him into his corner and hits a few shots to the head of Benoit, but Benoit fights back with some right hands but Justin with a forearm cheap shot to the back of the head slows him down, but Benoit spins around and knocks Justin off the apron but when he turns back to Raven he is met with a kick to the gut followed by the drop toe hold, but Benoit counters the drop toe hold into a forward roll! Benoit now waits for Raven who runs at him and takes him down with a short arm clothesline, Raven runs at Benoit again and gets taken down with another clothesline and now Raven pops up again and runs at Benoit but Benoit with a go behind and GERMAAAAN SUPLEX to Raven into the bride 1...........2.............Justin Credible comes in and breaks up the count.
King : Kane has had enough JR! Kane now is in and runs after Justin Credible and grabs him around the throat looking for a Choke Slam but Justin hooks hold of the the top rope. Raven and Benoit are now back up as Benoit is hitting Raven making his chest red raw with some more knife like chops, Kane now releasing his grip on Justin Credible and being told to get back to his corner, you can see Kane�s frustration as now Justin now joins Raven again and takes down Benoit with a neckbreaker before leaving the ring and letting Raven work away more on Benoit as Justin retreats back to the corner, Kane is in that corner, restless and ready to explode it seems what is going through that mans head? Obviously we know! He wants to destroy Raven and Justin Credible, Raven now has Benoit in a rear chinlock on the canvas and this crowd is getting behind Benoit but he is fading the referee lifts his arm once it falls.......twice.......it falls..........three times...........IT STAYS UP!! Benoit now fighting up out of the predicament standing up and shots to midsection of Raven and now Benoit counters TWISTING SUPLEX!! Benoit and Raven are both down now as Raven needs to make the tag to Justin and Benoit seriously needs to tag in his tag team partner Kane! Benoit is inching closer but Raven is far away from Justin and now Justin Credible has come in and pulled away Benoit�s legs from Kane and now Justin goes back to the corner, Kane now coming in yet again but the referee is stopping him as now Raven tags in Justin Credible and Justin goes to pull up Benoit but Benoit pulls him through into a small package!

Benoit hurt himself with that move, he needs to make the cover 1...............2.............Raven jumps to try and break the count.......but he cant that�s three, Chris Benoit and Kane have won this match against Justin Credible and Raven.
King : Kane was never tagged into this match JR! Benoit won on his own really, if anything it is possible that Kane hindered Benoit!!
JR : I don�t think so King, Kane�s presence was there throughout the match
King : Raven now beating Benoit in the head with huge right hands after the match but now Kane is in and no referee can stop him! Kane pulls Raven off of Benoit and tosses him over the top rope and now Kane pulls up Justin Credible and military presses him to the outside landing on Raven, Kane now helps up Benoit as Raven and Justin Credible mouth off in the aisle saying this isn�t over.........OH WAIT WHAT THE HELL? Kane just grabbed Benoit when he turned round right into a GOOZLE!! Kane has got Benoit by the neck.........CHOKE SLAM BY KANE TO BENOIT?! DID WE JUST SEE THAT?
JR : WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT? Kane now raising his arms and BOOM!! Explosion of pyro�s in the ring as Kane stares down on Benoit as his theme music plays, but now Kane exiting the ring backwards over the top rope and he�s in pursuit of Raven and Credible, what is going on? Why the hell did Kane just Choke Slam Benoit? Kane is one confused and frustrated big mule if you ask me, whats going on in his head right now?
King : I think Kane is the only man that knows himself! Kane and Benoit won the match, but afterwards Kane sent Benoit to hell with a Choke Slam! I cant wait to see what happens as result of this, I dont know what to make of it!
Winners : Kane and Chris Benoit
**Camera�s go backstage and we see a crew member on the floor and somebody has a foot on his neck, the camera is zoomed in on the crew member and it is former WWE wrestler Dean Malenko a Road Agent now with the company, the camera then pans all the way up the boots and then the jeans, this man is huge, we then get to a plain black t-shirt and eventually the camera pans all the way up and we se the mammoth proportions of none other than the biggest man in sports entertainment The Big Show! Referee�s and officials now run to try and stop the Big Show but he squats them all away like flies, Big Show now pulls up Road Agent Malenko and body presses him across the parking lot at about 10 officials sending them all to the ground, Big Show then walks into the arena as the cameras cut back to ringside!**
King : Haha! I told you it would be a big surprise, The Big Show is here JR!!
JR : He�s destroyed every official in sight on his way inside the arena what is he going to do once he is inside the arena, what carnage is he going to inflict?
(((( WELLLLLLLLLLL WELL ITS THE BIG SHOW!!!!!! ))))
King : Here he comes JR, watch out!
JR : Is this a one time deal? I didn�t know this monster had signed a WWE Contract! Hulk Hogan would usually tell me these things
King : Hogan doesn�t want to be under the wrath of a seven foot Giant JR! I only know because The Big Show told me himself and I�m not going to be dumb enough to give his return away he�d choke me all day if I did that! Big Show now into the ring and he is demanding a microphone
[Big Show]
Look who�s back oh yeah RAW is now bigger than ever, RAW is badder than ever because The BIG SHOW IS BACK! I dare anybody to step into the way of The Big Show because if they do, they will get PUT DOWN by the BIGGEST SHOW IN TOWN! Everybody tune in next week because The Big Show will be in the ring, making his in ring debut here on RAW and I�ll show every person here that size DOES MATTER!!
**The Music of Big Show hits as he leaves the ring back up the aisle as we go back to the commentators!**
JR : Next week we will see that huge man in the ring!?
King : I cant wait to see Big Show in action, he is a ruthless monster!
((( VOODOO CHILD � HULKAMANIA )))
JR : What? If we haven�t seen enough out here already, we were ready to go straight to The Rock and Charlie Haas Match, Rock and Charlie�s in ring return on RAW but now we�ve got Hogan out here, he said he needed to address The Rock tonight maybe that�s what he�s going to do now as gets to the ring doing his usual poses and tears his shirt off in the ring and pulls off his feathers as he begins to speak
[Hulk Hogan]
(Hogan is about to speak but the HOGAN! HOGAN! Chant is deafening, Hogan waits for it to die down but its getting stronger! Hogan then is about to pull the microphone to his mouth to try again but is interrupted...)
(((Hollywood Introduction Music...IZZZZZZZZ COOKIN!! )))
King : Haha The Rock didn�t even give Hogan a chance to speak! Some fans booing and some fans cheering now as Rock�s music has kicked in, the camera cuts to Hogan who is gobsmacked in the ring, looking a little annoyed and shocked at what The Rock is doing, but then Rock walks onto the stage with a cocky smile he isn�t wearing any T-shirt but he has a pair of jogging bottoms and trainers on and a pair of sunglasses, The Rock strolls to the ring and then backs off a little and adjust his strudle and rolling his shoulders cockily making Hogan wait before walking to the ring, Rock is great!, Rock now climbs the steps and walks the apron and climbs the turnbuckle and smells the air and after a few seconds raises his arm slowly, he drops from the turnbuckle and goes inside the ring to the other turnbuckle but Hogan is in the way, Rock smiles and pretends to go to a different turnbuckle but instead walks all the way around Hogan to the turnbuckle he wanted to go to and throws his arm in the air, Rock smells the air before dropping off the turnbuckle and snatching Hogan�s microphone!
[The Rock]
Sorry Mister, I think your in the wrong place, the retirement home is just around the corner from here! Woah Woah yeah that�s right Hogan, incase you didn�t hear me right the first time, maybe you need to tune in that hearing aid a lil� more because The Rock said that Hogan, the retirement home is just arou........
[Hulk Hogan]
SHUT UP ROCK! (Fans cheer) I know exactly where the retirement home is but the problem is I don�t belong there, the question is do you know where the hospital is? Because I�m about �this� close to bringing back this right hand and ploughing it right through your pretty Hollywood eyebrow!
[The Rock]
You can go ahead if you like Whisker Biscuit, It will probably take a good three to four months before the slowest right hand in sports entertainment manages to connect with my face though, The Rock saw a dead snail move quicker just the other day, but no you know what, go ahead, hit The Rock, punch The Rock, The Rock is the sexiest entertainer on the face of this earth you can�t touch The Rock, The Rock is BAAAAAD you understand that wrinkly? The Rock�s got everything you haven�t such as skill, charisma, speed, The Rock has got everything and well your just old and bald
[Hulk Hogan]
Rock you talk a big game, but do you know what? This body has still got a little fight left in her and how about you Rock KNOW YOUR ROLE, SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND JUST BRING IT!
[The Rock]
Well I would love to whip that Whisker Biscuit Candy Ass all over this cheap pathetic arena, but Rock�s not gonna lower himself to your level Hogan (Rock gives a cheeky smile) Oh yeah that�s right fighting is not the solution to your problems Hogan, going home and retiring is, nobody wants to see you anymore, It�s not as if your even good and old, your really bad and old, you haven�t done anything in your career anyway, what did you do? Beat Iron Shiek once or twice, dressed in a pink leotard as Mr.Nanny ripped off a couple of t-shirts and done a few pathetic little Leg Drops, Hulk Hogan your not even a has been your a NEVER WAS, Rock is what it�s about baby, Hogan YOU AINT NOTHIN� TO THE ROCK!
( BOOM JUST LIKE LAST WEEK THE ROCK JUST SLAPPED HOGAN!! )
JR : How disrespectful of The Rock! Two weeks in a row he�s disrespected the RAW BRAND OWNER and WWE LEGEND Hollywood Hulk Hogan! The Rock is an ass!
**Hulk Hogan now turns and stares back at The Rock who is smiling, Hogan can�t believe this show of disrespect as now The Rock smiles at Hogan but that smile is wiped off as Hogan stands up straight to The Rock and points his finger and shakes it at him. Rock now gulps at Hogan, maybe he�s going to get what�s coming to him**
JR : STICK IT TO HIM HULK!
**Rock now doesn�t know what to do seemingly, but now Rock shoves away Hogan�s finger out of his face and OOOOOH LOW KICK TO HOGAN!! Rock now hooks up Hogan, surely not, will he do this? ROCK BOTTOM!! ROCK BOTTOM ON HULK HOGAN!!**
King : Haha!! Rock planted Hogan!
JR : Damn that isn�t even anywhere near funny King! Rock now being his own cocky self and he picks back up the microphone and sets up Hogan for a People�s Elbow kicking in his arm and now what�s he doing? Putting his foot on Hogan�s chest....
[The Rock]
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN......THAT IS THE END OF HULK HOGAN.........IF YA SMELLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IZZZZZZZZ COOKIN!
JR : What is he doing? Rock now tosses away the microphone into the crowd and now sets up for a peoples elbow although he still has the arm pads on but before he starts running he is interuppted....
((( TEAM ANGLE � CHARLIE HAAS )))
JR : Charlie Haas is back! And hopefully he is going to kick The Rock�s ass! Charlie sprinting out here now as now Rock leaves the ring, Charlie mouths off at Rock as Charlie helps up Hogan in the ring, Hogan is going to have to make his way backstage but I guess that when we return after the break we will be straight into The Rock and Charlie Haas match as we have both competitors out here
**Commercial break**
Match Three
The Rock vs Charlie Haas
JR : Welcome back folks during the break Hulk Hogan made his way back up the aisle to a huge reception from this crowd, Hogan has been punked out two weeks in a row by The Rock, I cant see it happening three weeks in a row, next week Rock is going to pay!
King : Hogan looked dejected on his way back up the aisle, I�d love to be a fly on the wall in his office right now, but your right, however entertaining it may be, Rock is going to pay the price somewhere down the line,
JR : Maybe even tonight King, I hope Charlie beats his ass 1.........2.........3!!
King : The match has already started during the break JR with a few lock ups in the middle of The ring and Rock tossing down Charlie, Charlie has gotta watch that shoulder here tonight or Rock will exploit it once more and win this match.

King : Arghhhhhhh Charlie with a cross body taking down The Rock! And now Charlie thumping away at The Rock�s forehead, this is Charlie Haas�s big match, his return match since that injury to the shoulder as now Charlie gets The Rock up and gives him some knee�s to the gut against the ring apron and now Charlie throws Rock back inside the ring, these fans are going crazy for Charlie, I cant understand it! Rock is The People�s Champion! Charlie now coming back inside but Rock is up and starts laying the boots to Charlie as he slides in, those special Rocky stomps to Charlie�s ribs as now Rock pulls up Charlie and SUPLEX! Rock keeping Charlie hanging, Vertical Suplex boom! perfectly executed by The Great One as now Rock pulls Charlie up and now sets up for another one but Charlie blocks it and into a small package 1..........2...........Rock kicks out, both men quickly back up Rock looks for a clothesline but Charlie ducks but Rock with his other arm clotheslines Charlie down with a reverse clothesline clobbering him in the back of the head and neck!

[The Rock]
Hey Charlie, your doing pretty good, your learning quickly from The Rock, learn more in one day from The Rock than you will from Kurt Angle in a life time! You�ve had your fun now, now it�s time for The Rock to shove his boot right up your candy ass bitch!
JR : Charlie has got your number tonight Rock! Rock now walking around the ring and Charlie looking for a baseball slide but Rock moves out of the way and Charlie comes outside and Rock shoves him into the steps shoulder first! That could have hurt the shoulder, damaged the shoulder blade once more! Rock now gets the left arm and gives Charlie an arm ringer and whacks his arm against the apron, Rock now cocky as ever grabbing Haas and getting him in a hammerlock, Rock has Charlie in a hammerlock and he see�s a hot mamma at ringside, Rock walks over and while he has Charlie in a hammerlock starts sweet talkin a girl in the front row, but Charlie eventually counters with shots with his elbow to The Rock�s head eventually breaking it Rock spins around to face Charlie who looks for a dropkick on the outside but Rock catches him and counters on the outside locking in a sharpshooter! Rock now pulling back on the sharpshooter on the outside as he now continues to talk to a girl in the front row, Rock now releases the sharpshooter and carries on talking to the girl before going back to work on Charlie Haas but Charlie now with a drop toe hold and Rock hits his head on the top of the apron!
King : Rock didn�t deserve that! Haas now slides back in the ring and waits for The Rock who groggily climbs onto the apron and Charlie now locks up Rock and SUPERPLEX back into the ring? NO! Rock gets straddled on the top rope as now these fans are going crazy for Charlie again as Haas grabs Rock into a front face lock and drops him down with a DDT from the straddled position! Poor Rock he got planted! Haas into a cover 1..........2............Kick out Rock........Ah look ref he�s got his foot on the rope!!! The count stopped now as Rock had his foot on the bottom rope. Charlie complaining to the ref but that is the right call as now Charlie is going up top, he�s going to look for a high impact move on The Rock, Rock now is groggily getting up FLYING CLOTHESLINE by Haas taking down The Rock, Haas now scrambles across into a cover and hook of the leg 1.................2...............Rock kicks out! This match has been all Charlie here, he�s had many near falls on The Rock! Charlie pulls up Rock now and Rock looks spent but Rock breaks Charlie�s grip and fights back with right hands, punch punch punch punch punch SPIT SLAP, Charlie ducks the slap but he gets a thumb to the eye for his troubles and now Rock hooks up ROCK BOTTOM!! But instead Charlie counters by getting his arm lose and wrapping it around Rock�s head and neck looking for a DDT here but Rock counters uniquely again backdropping away Charlie, Rock now stalks Charlie again as he gets up from being backdropped, Charlie turns around, kick to the gut and SINGLE ARM DDT by The Rock! Rock never does that move, but its effective with Charlie�s injury!
JR : Charlie now writhing after that as Rock kicks away at the tricep and shoulder blade on the left arm of Charlie Haas, Rock now pulls up Charlie and keeps hold of his arm and irish whips him but doesn�t let go and it just hyper extends the arm, Rock does it again and Charlie�s arm has nowhere to go, Rock does it a third time and pulls Charlie back right into a SPINE ON DA PINE SPINEBUSTER!! Rock planting Haas there and now he walks around to the head of Charlie Haas, this could be it as Rock starts to tear off his elbow pad, time for THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT TODAY...........PEOPLE�S ELBOW BOOM!! NO!! Charlie Haas moved! Rock hit canvas and now Rock knows how a bad arm feels! He might have hit his funny bone, but that aint funny for The Rock let me tell ya! Rock now holding that elbow as Charlie now gets up groggily too and uses an arm ringer on The Rock and now pulling him down to the mat and LEG DROP on the Rock�s arm! That right elbow being driven into the canvas cannot feel good, both men almost operating with one arm now as Charlie uses an arm bar on Rock, Rock though quickly reaches and grabs the bottom rope
King : What a match we�ve had here JR! Both men have been in awesome form! Rock now pulls himself up by the ropes as Charlie still has a hold of that arm of The Rock but now Rock shoves Charlie Haas away with all the strength he has left as now Charlie runs back at The Rock but Rock counters with a backdrop but Charlie lands behind Rock going over the ropes and on to the apron. Rock now spins around but is greeted by a right hand by Charlie but Rock blocks it and grabs the bad left arm of Haas and tosses him back inside the ring, Rock now kicks away at the shoulder blade trying to keep Charlie grounded and in pain, these fans are on The Rock�s back still chanting for Charlie Haas but Rock now pulls up Charlie again by his bad arm and uses an Irish whip but Rock pulls him back towards him and straight into a ROCK BOTTOM!!

JR : There is no doubting The Rock being a superb athlete he�s just been acting like an ass! Rock hasnt got up yet after the three count and he�s kept Haas�s leg hooked as he lies cockily over him smiling, he eventually gets up and starts mocking the crowd with sarcastic clapping and eventually going to the top turnbuckle and saluting the people, He beat Charlie tonight in a tremendous match but he will have to face the wrath of Hulk Hogan, because he�s got to be irate after The Rock�s actions the past two weeks.
Winner : The Rock
Main Event
15 minute Submission Exhibition
Kurt Angle Vs Lance Storm(IC)
JR: Right now ladies and gentlemen we are about to see two of Raw�s finest go at it in a very unique match. A match you would only normally see at a Pay Per View, live right here on the Raw brand!
King: Cant argue with that JR, but there are quite a few factors affecting this match, I mean this is Kurt�s first match for what three months, I don�t think this is the best type of match for Kurt to be returning into. It�s a bad call by Hogan in my opinion. Kurt had a revolutionary new operation performed on him around 9 weeks ago his neck is not going to be 100 percent!
JR: You raise a good point King, and with a guy like Lance Storm, you know he is going to take full advantage of this weakness. His submission manoeuvre the Maple Leaf may not directly concentrate on the neck and shoulder area, but it must put some sort strain on it.
King: Oh it does JR, but we have all seen how ruthless Lance Storm is, he�s probably pulled up moves he hasn�t used for years, moves that will work on the shoulder and neck area, and with such a massive win last week over Stone Cold Steve Austin, Storm�s confidence is going to be at a all time high!
JR: I wonder what Stone Cold will decide after Ric Flair�s ultimatum last week. I�m being told we are ready for the match up so here we go�.
(( LANCE STORM � UN � AMERICANS ))
[Lance Storm walks out, he has the Intercontinental championship strapped around his waist, he waves the upside down American flag, to show he is a proud Un-American. Lance Storm walks down to the ring, slides under the bottom rope, waves the flag for a while then calls for microphone]
Lance Storm: If I could be serious for a minute�.. (Crowd start to BOO) I need to get each and everyone of your attention including the whole Raw roster backstage. Now I have been the Intercontinental champion for a good few months, and have 2 defences to my name, and not many former IC champs can claim that. Yet I and fellow Un-Americans still do not get the respect we deserve around here. If you stupid American�s haven�t realised the two major championships are controlled by Un � American�s, and more importantly� Canadians! People backstage aren�t happy about this, and I know they are plotting against me and Chris Jericho, the very same people that plotted against one of this business� greats� Bret Hart. So the next 15 minutes are for those conspirators, I am going to dismantle one of your very best� an apparent American Hero, recently back after major surgery� Kurt Angle. Kurt you may want to reconsider coming down here, I don�t want to have to put you back on the shelf! Before we get this match started, there is just one other point I wish to make�.
[Just then Lance Storm is interrupted by Kurt at the top of the ramp, pretending to snore]
Kurt Angle: (snores)��
BOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG�.. (snores)�..BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG� It seems things haven�t changed in the three months I�ve been gone, your still the same charismatic-less, whitt-less, whiny jackass as before. You know something Lance, your paranoid, you�ve spouted out this Un-American stuff for months, and it�s gotten to you, you�ve gone crazy Storm� you�ve lost the plot. But tonight, I make my return to that very ring. Loads of questions have been raised whether I shoulder wrestle in this kind of a match? Let me remind you that I am a Olympic Gold Medallist!?!?!?. I won these babies with a broken friggin� neck, I think I can take you on�. And beat you�. Heck I won�t even need 15 minutes, so when you�ve finished your little speech these people want to be entertained�. So let�s get this match on! Hit my music!
(( DER DER DER DER DURR DURR *YOU SUCK* DURR DURR *YOU SUCK* ))
[Kurt Angle walks down the ramp way, you can hear the cheer for Kurt over his music. Kurt stops half way down the ramp, pauses throws his arms in the air, red white and blue pyro�s shoot up in the air. Kurt then makes his way to the ring, Kurt climbs the steps and gets in the ring. Lance takes off his straps and hands to a ringside hand that puts it on the time keepers table. A clock comes up on the bottom left hand corner reading 15 minutes, both men start to circle each other the referee calls them to the centre to discuss the rules of the match, he calls for the bell and the clocks starts the count down]

Lance with a go behind DROP KICK to the back of Kurt�s leg. Three minutes have gone in the match or there about, Lance puts Kurt�s head underneath the bottom rope, grabs his legs� and launches his throat into the bottom rope. Storm drags Kurt to the middle of the ring�. MAPLE LEAF applied to Kurt Angle.
King: Come on Lance, make it lasts get the first submission of the match, get it inside the first 5 minutes! Kurt is reaching for the ropes, but he can�t reach it. Angle making a little distance to the ropes, Kurt is inches away from the ropes, but the effects of the move are setting in. Storm is pulling Kurt back from the ropes, Kurt is screaming now, the pain is too much�. Kurt desperately trying to get closer to the ropes� he�s dragging himself and Lance closer to the ropes� he gets them. The referee forces Storm to release the hold. Storm straight back on the attack, SURFBOARD APPLIED to Kurt Angle, he�s digging his knee into Kurt�s neck, such a clever and vicious move by Lance Storm. Kurt cant exactly tap out of this move, but the referee is asking him if he wants to quit. Kurt is saying no, but how long can he last. The fans are all over Storm, chanting, well chanting something I can�t repeat. SHAME ON YOU! Lance Storm isn�t affected by it, still applying his own version of the Surfboard. Kurt is real agony here, we�ve got little under 9 minutes left in this match. The referee is asking Kurt whether he wants to quit again. Kurt is screaming here, I think he�s giving up. Yes he has, it�s 1 � 0 to Lance Storm. Kurt has crawled over to the corner, Lance Storm wants to carry on the attack but the referee is allowing Kurt a few moments to get himself back together. Should he be doing that JR?
JR: I wouldn�t like to say King, but the bottom line is Kurt Angle has less than 8 minutes to get Lance Storm to tap to submission move. Kurt Angle is back up on his feet, but looking very worn down and tired. Storm charges at Kurt Angle, Angle nails him with a drop toe hold.

Storm just walked into the Angle Slam. What�s Kurt doing here, he�s got Storm�s legs. I think were going to see Kurt�s version of the Commish�s finisher�. FIGURE FOUR to Lance Storm. Kurt angle screaming WHOO at Storm, the crowd are screaming it straight back at Angle. Lance is trying to roll over which will reverse the move and hurt Angle more than Storm. But Kurt is letting that happen, Kurt slamming his arms down stretching Storm�s legs even further, exactly like the Nature Boy.

Kurt really needs this to get back in the match. Storm is thinking about tapping I think, his hand is on the mat, he�s considering it�. Storm taps, its one a piece, and we�ve got 5 minutes on the clock..

Storm is grabbing the other leg now, he�s going for a Boston crab, he locks it in. No messing around from Lance Storm, Kurt is screaming in pain, his face is bright red, Kurt has made a little distance, but hardly enough to reach the ropes, 15 seconds�.

Is kurt gonna tap, the referee is checking him 5��4��3�� Kurt may have passed out here, no he�s still with us barley 2��1��. KURT TAPS. Lance Storm has got the submission, Lance Storm wins it 2-1.

King: What the hell happens now, we can�t have this match end in a draw?
JR: I don�t know what�s going to happen. Lance Storm is not happy he is arguing with Nick Patrick over the decision, but it was the right call from Patrick.

He�s edging closer but I don�t know if he�s got enough strength left in him to make it� Storm leaning back further� Kurt isn�t moving, he may have passed out. Patrick is trying to get some sort of a response from him, Kurt�s face is changing colour� Patrick just said ring the bell, Kurt has blacked out. Storm wins it!
