JR: Welcome to the 34th Raw brand folks, tonight for the first time ever we will see Booker T�s now work as a team, Justin Credible and Booker T will face Team Angle, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Credible fresh off becoming the Hardcore champion, and Booker T progressing the final 4 in the King of the Ring last weekend, they�re looking good for tonight.
King: The Rock who was robbed at King of the Ring will also be here tonight, he�ll be facing Raven in singles action�
JR: He was not robbed, Kurt angle beat him fair and square in the quarters, then the Rock had to lower himself and low blow Kurt Angle, yeah what a sportsman!
((( UN � AMERICANS ))
JR: What the hell does this paranoid punk want?
King: That�s our Intercontinental champion, show some respect
[Lance Storm walks out with the IC belt strapped around his waist, Edge is also accompanying him, Edge shows of the Smackdown brand T-shirt he is proudly wearing, this really riles the crowd up. They make their way down to the ring, the fans really give them a hard time, Edge rolls under the ring and poses on the top turnbuckle, while Storm walks up the steps and collects a microphone]
Lance Storm: If I could be serious for a minute���..
[Crowd boo and chant BOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIING!]
Lance Storm: No doubt all of you people here tonight paid to see King of the Ring last week, some are saying it�s the best Pay Per View of the year so far, not me!
JR: What�s he on about it was amazing, he�s still IC champ what�s he complaining about?
King: That�s ABOOT JR HA HA
Lance Storm: You see after I my place in the King of the Ring tournament was robbed from me right here in this very ring, One of the main conspirators against me and my kind thought he�d book me in a match against Charlie Haas for this Intercontinental championship. It was bad enough I was robbed from competing in the final 8, but putting me in a match against Charlie Haas was just adding insult to injury Hogan! Did you see that match, I�m sorry folks I can only carry someone in a match for so long, I did the best I did to try to give the Un-American fans a match worthy to watch. I couldn�t care what kind of a match I put on for the American fans, they get entertained by seeing a 60 something year old running one half of this company! You notice Edge wearing a Smackdown t-shirt, he left Raw to join Smackdown because he wasn�t getting used to his full potential, and still he has not had a match on Smackdown. It seem�s the people holding the Un-American kind is not just in effect on the Raw brand, it�s spreading to the Smackdown brand. Well I�m getting sick of getting the left offer�s to defend my Intercontinental championship belt. It�s happened quit a few times now, Charlie Haas didn�t do anything to earn the title shot he received, but the frail egotistical Hulk Hogan gave him the match. That�s not all I turn up tonight, and I�m not even booked for a match, Hogan your going about the right way for losing the only talent you�ve got left on Raw! The most technically sound athlete in the business�..the leader of the Un-American kind�. And your Intercontinental champion!
((( BOW WOW WOW WOW HULKAMANIA ))
[Just then as Storm finishes his speech the Raw boss Hollywood Hulk Hogan walks out onto stage, the fans explode with Hogan chants. Hogan is wearing a pair of jeans and a Raw brand t-shirt. Hogan walks down to the ring, Storm and Edge aren�t sure what to do, and stay to one side of the ring. Hogan rolls under the bottom rope, and collects a microphone from Lilian Garcia. Hogan waits for the Hogan chants to die down before speaking]
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: You know something Storm, I�m getting pretty damn tired of your complaining, your like a LITTLE BITCH!
[Crowd explode]
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: So you�re still upset you didn�t get in the King of the Ring last week get over it, Kurt Angle beat you fair and square and did the Raw brand proud in the final of that event lets hear it for Kurt Angle��
[A let�s go Angle breaks out in appreciation of his efforts at the KOR]
Lance Storm: STOP�.STOP�.. this isn�t about Angle, this is about me getting screwed around here. Hogan you can put aside the claims of conspiracy, but everyone knows it�s true. You are the main man behind it on Raw and until I start getting the push I deserve, I�m going to become a problem for you
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: You wanna know what went down dude? I�ll tell you what went down� The last couple of weeks you�ve been on the top of pile, you�ve been turning heads. Beating The Rock and Shelton Benjamin last week, beating Kurt Angle in a Submission exhibition a few weeks ago, so I thought I�d do you the favour and give you the night off�.
Lance Storm: The Night off? Who do you think I am? I�m not Hulk Hogan, I don�t take night�s off like you used to when people actually respected you back in your hay day. I am an athlete and damn I�m here to stay at the top of the pile�. Ahead of everyone else. Like I said your going the right way about me following in Edge�s footsteps over to Smackdown�..
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: Is that so? Just a side issue here�. Edge my former employee�.. nice Smackdown t-shirt you got on�. But dude this aint Smackdown people come on here to DO IT TILL THEY�RE RAW! See my t-shirt? Just like that�. You may be able to accompany Storm backstage I can�t do anything about that�. But I can ban you from ringside� So in other words Edge� get out of my ring!
[Edge and Storm are furious, they can�t believe what Hogan is doing]
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOOD BYE!
[Edge starts to make his way up the ramp, he mouths off to Hogan as he does so]
Lance Storm: You think your getting to me Hogan? I�ve come to expect things like this from you, putting up barriers to stop my progress�..
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: I tell you what I�ll give you a barrier dude, seeing as you�ve been complaining about the challengers to your title, I�ll make a contenders match. Winner gets a shot at you at Summerslam! Ill get back to you with the two competitors�..
(( IF YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING ))
[Rock�s music interrupts Hogan, Hogan looks to the ramp way and is disgusted. Rock has a mic and begins to speak as he makes his way down to the ring]
Rock: No he wont need to get back to you with the competitors Storm, because after the Rock was royally screwed at King of the Ring, Hogan you know I deserve this chance�. Seeing as I was robbed at the chance to get my Undisputed title back� ill go for the next best thing�. The IC champ. After all the last time I was the champ, I raised the bar for the IC division, so Storm what do you think the Great One whoops your ass at Summerslam and takes your title?
(( TEAM ANGLE � WHO SUCKS NOW ))
[ Kurt Angle makes his way out with a mic in his hand ]
Kurt Angle: You think you deserve this chance? If anyone deserves it, its your Olympic Hero�. And just for the record you weren�t robbed at King of the Ring�. I kicked your ass from pillar to post� OH IT�S TRUE�
[At this point Hogan butts in]
Hollywood Hulk Hogan: I tell you what Rocky, Angle number one contender ship to IC title, for a shot at Summerslam�..
[Hogan�s music blasts out of the PA system, and the show goes to a commercial break]
Match One
Nathan Jones Vs Big Show
[Both men come down to their music, Big Show dominates the match at first using the corners of the ring, hits a series of head butts and goes for the first pin of the match. Jones kicks out, Nathan begins to come back, and takes control of the match after hitting a round house kick. Jones then tries to take Big Show�s legs out and goes for a pin, Show kicks out. Jones continues the attack on the legs of the Big Show and keeps the big man grounded. Jones get some close pin falls, until Show gets out of the ring and uses his surroundings to his advantage. After the beating in the ring Big Show sets Jones up for a Chokeslam, Jones breaks free, hits a second round house kick to pick up the win]
Match Two
Tag Team Match
New World Order Vs Team Angle
Booker T and Justin Credible Vs Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin
(( nWo � 4 life ))
[Booker T and Justin Credible walk out with nWo t-shirts on. They get in the ring and do the new world order hand signal, Booker warms up on the ropes while Credible has words with the referee]
(( TEAM ANGLE � WHO SUCKS NOW ))
[Benjamin and Shelton get down to ringside and waist no time with the match]
King: Team Angle getting things started straight away, no hanging around. Haas takes Booker outside with a clothesline, leaving Benjamin and Credible in the ring. The referee is going to have trouble controlling these I think. Credible now in control in the ring, sends Benjamin into the corner, and pounds his head into the turnbuckle. Haas and Booker are having a ruck outside using the steel steps to wear each other down. Credible now brings Shelton to the centre of the ring and goes for a pin fall 1���.2�.. Shelton manages to get his shoulders up. Credible gets him back on his feet�. Goes for a DDT but Shelton powers out and hits a Fisherman�s suplex!
JR: Shelton makes the cover, but no joy. I don�t think we�ll see much of Booker or Haas in this match the referee is trying to get them to their respected corners but it isn�t working! Credible gets Shelton to his feet, sends him into the ropes and connects with a huge cross body. Credible now using the ropes, to hit more of an impact with some elbow drops. Credible goes for another cover, he�s got his foot on the rope 1���2��.. The referee saw Credible, he�s giving him a verbal warning, Credible adopting the traditional tactics of the new world order, only been in the group for a week or so but the black and white colours having a big effect on Credible.
King: Justin Credible gets Shelton to stand up, he swings and takes him down with a huge uppercut. Credible going up to the second turnbuckle now� LEG DROP from the turnbuckle, into a cover 1��..2��. Shelton kicks out. Shelton taking quite a beating here tonight, a bit of life here though, Shetlon sends Credible into the ropes� clothesline from Benjamin. Gets credible up, sends him into the ropes again� BACK BODY DROP� Benjamin waiting for the moment to hit his superkick� he missed it! Credible ducked and Shelton missed him. Credible takes his other leg from underneath him. Shelton lands badly off that!
JR: Sudden spurt from Shelton didn�t last long. Credible just tossed Shelton to the outsid,e he�s letting Booker have his way with him now. Knee to the gut, Booker now throwing him into the steel steps. Booker and Credible are dismantling Team Angle! Booker now with a Booker end on the outside, Booker rolls him back into the ring. Credible makes the cover 1���.2�� Haas saves his partner. Booker gets in the ring and takes Haas out again in this match. Credible is irate. He get�s Shelton up boot to the gut� scoops him up� SPINNING TOMBSTONE! That should be all�.. 1�����2���. Shelton grabbed the bottom rope�.
King: Look on the outside Booker T has busted Charlie Haas� head open after that irish whip into the steel post. Booker just tossed in the hardcore title into the ring. Booker now distracting the referee�. Up on the apron. Credible grabs his Hardcore title, clocks Shelton with the belt, Credible gets rid of the belt and Booker is lets the referee do his job 1����..2����.3 Booker T and Justin Credible pick up the win, hardly a tag team match though, the New world order showing how brutal they can be! Booker has grabbed a spray can�
JR: Like we haven�t seen this before�. Booker is branding Shelton Benjamin spraying NWO on his back, Credible is doing the same to Charlie Haas on the outside
Winners � New World Order
Match Three
The Rock vs Raven
(( IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING�.HOLLYWOOD MUSIC ))
[The Rock walks out in his wrestling attire, the fans are giving him a lot of heat. The Rock pays no attention to the fans, he walks down the ramp and makes his way to the ring. He climbs the steps then mounts the turnbuckle to pose no longer for the people but just for his own ego]
(((QUOTE THE RAVEN � NEVERMORE!)))
Lawler: Here comes Raven, he came so close to winning the Hardcore Title last night at the King Of The Ring. And I don�t doubt he�ll have plenty of opportunities to acquire that title.
JR: The bell rings but The Rock is still posing to the fans and Raven takes this opportunity to club the back of The Rock. He sends him flying backwards into the corner here. Raven now repeatedly elbows The Rock in the face. Raven now runs towards the corner, going for a clothesline but The Rock moves out of the way and Raven crashes into the corner. The Rock climbs to the second turnbuckle, punches to the forehead of Raven, the crowd counting along, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, The Rock stops before he hits the tenth and tells the fans where to go. The fans not liking that are beginning to chant �Rocky Sucks� now but he just laughs it off. He now returns his attention to Raven, he steps up to the top rope and goes to punch him for the tenth time but Raven is too quick and runs out of the turnbuckle with Rock on his shoulders and nails a running power bomb. That was a great display of power from Raven. It seemed to take a lot out of him though. He�s having to use the ropes to pull himself to his feet. The Rock is also slowly getting up. The Rock bounces off the ropes and Raven hits a picture perfect Drop Toe Hold. That took Rock right back down to the mat, Raven takes the opportunity to make the cover, 1, 2, Rocky kicks out!
Lawler: The Rock is getting back to his feet and he wasn�t pleased about that. Rocky with a few punches to Raven, and knocks himover the top rope. Raven gathers himself on the outside. He�s coming over towards us now. He�s just grabbed a chair from the timekeeper�s desk, I think he�s planning on using it. Not a bad plan from Raven but I don�t think Rocky likes it, he�s followed Raven outside now, Raven turns around, BIG CLOTHESLINE from Rocky! Wow! That sent Raven onto the deck with a thud. Rocky has pulled Raven up now. He�s setting up for Rock Bottom, he raises his left arm in the air and taunts the crowd, this doesn�t look good for Raven. NO! Raven hits a low blow, the referee didn�t see it! The Rock drops to the floor, Raven grabs The Rock�s feet now, I think he�s trying for a catapult, there�s no way that�ll work on The Rock! No, Raven�s struggling here and Rocky takes the opportunity to kick him away into the ring post! That had to hurt the back of The Raven. Rocky is on his feet now, he is slowly getting himself back into the ring. Raven too is crawling under the bottom rope. The Rock stomps on his back and pulls him up now. He hits a couple of chops to the chest of Raven and backs him towards the ropes, The Rock now whips Raven across the ring. Raven rebounds off the ropes to be met with a SWINGING NECKBREAKER! The Rock makes the cover, 1, 2, Raven gets the shoulder up.
JR: The Rock doesn�t look pleased and is being distracted by the taunts from the crowd. Raven is on his feet behind The Rock now, he turns him round and picks him up for a BODY SLAM! The Rock was caught off guard there by the Raven. It could end the match for him, 1, 2, The Rock gets the shoulder up. Raven gets to his feet and pulls The Rock up but The Rock with some elbows to the ribs of Raven, he sends Raven to the ropes, SPINEBUSTER by The Rock. The Rock stands over Raven�s head and now taunts the crowd again and takes off his elbowpad. Rock acts like he�s going to throw it into the crowd, but he changes his mind and drops it on Raven�s chest.
Lawler: Let me call it JR! The Rock goes for the MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT The Rock bounces off the ropes, floats over Raven, off the other ropes
(( TEAM ANGLE � WHO SUCKS NOW?! ))
JR: What the hell?! That�s Kurt Angle�s music, what the hell is he doing?! Where the hell is he?! The Rock is looking confused and look up towards the ramp way and like us is wondering where the hell Kurt is. We found out these two men will go at it for contendership to Storm�s IC title, but we don�t know when just yet. The Rock is walking out of the ring, Raven is following him. The referee is counting both men out. Kurt Angle meets the Rock half way, Rock swings� Kurt ducks� OVERHEAD SUPLEX on the steel ramp! Kurt Angle is walking away now, the referee is up to 8���.9����..10 Both competitors have been counted out of the match. We�ll be back a in a moment
[The footage cuts and we see a package promoting Summerslam at the end of August]
Main Event
America Hero Vs Hardcore legend
One on One
Kurt Angle Vs Terry Funk
JR : Folks We�ve had our last commercial break of the night and up next were getting ready for a match between two legends in this business as the man who came so close at the King of the Ring to beating Triple H and becoming the number one contender and going to summerslam that being Kurt Angle battles the 55 year old hardcore legend that being Terry Funk
King : These two men may have two very different styles but they both undoubtedly are two of the greatest men ever to step inside this squared circle, Terry Funk went through twenty minutes of Hardcore hell at King of the Ring as Kurt Angle went through three rounds of the King of the Ring both men cant be at 100% physically but still we should expect a classic encounter here tonight to Main Event RAW!
((( HARDCORE LEGEND � TERRY FUNK )))
Terry Funk makes his way out to a decent reception from the crowd, he�s wearing a FUNK U t-shirt and his normal ring attire bottoms, he gets in the ring and awaits his opponent....
((( KURT ANGLE � I DONT SUCK! )))
Kurt Angle walks out to a thunderous reception from this crowd, these fans showing him a huge amount of respect after his efforts in the King of the Ring, although Kurt now on the staging area seems to be somewhat shunning this reception with his reactions, maybe he thinks he doesnt deserve it, because he didnt win the tournament thats the level that Kurt sets himself but there could be another reason but Kurt doesnt look like he appreciates this warm reception as much as he should....Kurt now throws up his arms as his pyro�s begin to explode in the red white and blue format..........
JR : Look though Terry Funk has slid outside of the ring and he�s met Kurt in the aisle way about halfway down he swings a punch but Kurt blocks and comes back with one of his own but now Funk blasts back too and were getting into a raging fist fight in the early going exchanging right hands but now Terry, a veteran move that thumb to the eye slowing down Angle as Funk manoeuvres Kurt in the aisleway and oh my Russian Legsweep into the barracde and the fans holding their signs are going crazy as the camera crews zoom near them, Terry now steals one sign that says �WWE Get the Funk Out!� from a fan and rips it up on camera before throwing it down on Kurt and carrying on the attack with a few kicks to the midsection up against the barracade
King : That�s no way to treat an Olympian! Terry Funk now pulls Kurt up and grabs him in a headlock and now looking to smash his head against the barracade but Kurt blocks and counters with elbows to the midsection and instead sends Funk head first into it and again and a third time! Kurt now takes Funk down the side of the aisle and were up the side of the aisle where the commentators hang out ahhhhh that would be us wouldnt it JR! They are still a few feet away yet don�t worry, I thought we were safe up here! Kurt now bouncing Terry�s head off a table and now an irish whip into one of those heavy stage boxes, one of those equipment cases. What�s Kurt doing now he�s opening that equipment box and he�s putting Terry�s hand in it, OH NO dont do this Kurt, I heard that his arthritis is bad enough as it is, do this and rigomortis will start to set in DONT DO IT............BOOM!!
JR : Kurt Angle just slammed that box but Terry just moved his hand in time and caught Kurt Angle in the midsection with a shot with his forearm as Funk comes back with a clothesline, christ is there any danger of getting these two in the ring? Referee Earl Hebner get these two in the ring damn it! Obviously Terry and Kurt have got some built up aggression but after King of the Ring can their bodies handle it? Terry Funk now moving towards us, dont think about it Terry, don�t do it
King : You aint going to reason with him JR, he aint got his hearing aid in tonight, Terry Funk now pulling the top off our announce table and also pulling off the monitors although he�s keeping hold of one, he�s waiting for Kurt to get up, Kurt is up now as Terry stalks him MONITOR SHOT! No Kurt managed to duck out of the way he spins Terry Funk around kick to the gut OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX no Terry Funk with a few right hands breaking the attempt, good job or else Kurt would have wiped me and JR out, we better move out of the way folks
JR : That�s not the worst idea you�ve ever had King.
(JR and King drop their headsets we see Terry Funk and Kurt Angle now making their way on top of the table, Terry Funk is trying to set up Kurt Angle, kick to the gut here DDT THROUGH THE TABLE? NO! KURT ANGLE WITH A REVERSAL, FISHERMAN SUPLEX, THE TABLE EXPLODES AND BOTH MEN LAND ON THE SOLID CONCRETE!!! As now JR gets his headset back on as King looks at the carnage)
JR : OH MY GOD! Both these men have been broken in half! That must have taken as much out of both men! This match isn�t even officialy underway, Earl Hebner is determined to get this match started he hasnt thrown this out yet this is our main event!
((( Hollywood Introduction Music � IZZZZZZZZZ COOKIN )))
JR : What? What the hell is The Rock doing out here?
(The Rock now makes his way to the ring wearing a pair of black tracksuit bottoms and a $1000 shirt he gets in the ring and demands a microphone)
Rock : Let me get right to the point Jabroni�s The Rock aint out here to spill out any Finally The Rock crap, If Ya Smell Stick this or that up your candy ass The Rock is out here for one reason only since The Rock got screwed over by Kurt Angle earlier in his match against Raven, Rock thought he�d come out here and screw Kurt Angle in his match with Terry Funk, so since this match aint started and Rock aint got all night, Rock gotta go out and get some good pie baby! Yeah ya see Rock�s got about lets see? 10 SECONDS oh yeah that�s right Kurt you wanna get The Rock counted out, Rock�s gonna count out your sorry ass too!
JR : What? What�s The Rock talking about? The Rock can�t do that he aint the referee!
King : The Rock can do anything, he�s the Great One, and looks like here he is a self appointed referee!
Rock : 1..........................2.................................3.............................
JR : There isn�t no chance Kurt or Terry are going to make it back down to the ring, is this official or what? Or is it just some mind games from The Rock?
King : I guess we�ll find out because there aint a cat in hells chance that Kurt or Terry will get back in this ring by a ten count, they are both just on their feet groggily against the side of the aisleway and against the barracade
Rock : 4...............................5...................................6.....................................7
JR : Look King, Earl Hebner has come down the side of the aisle and into the ring and he�s hurling abuse at The Rock, Rock is just looking at Hebner with a weird look here and no Rock, dont do this, HOOK UP, ROCK BOTTOM!!!!!! ROCK BOTTOM!!!!!!! Earl Hebner just got planted! Rock now kicking down Hebner out of the ring as he picks up his microphone, but now Angle is back at ringside.........
Rock : 8.....9......(Kurt Angle rolls back inside)
King : Kurt made it JR! Look closely followed by Terry Funk, Rock now kicking away at Kurt Angle and pulling him up now punch punch punch punch SPIT.......SLAP but Kurt side steps and Rock blasts FUNK! Funk hits the ropes and comes back at the Rock and into a ROCK BOTTOM but Rock doesn�t want Funk, Rock shoves him away and now gets greeted by Kurt Angle kick to the gut ANGLE SLAM ON THE ROCK!!! Kurt now pulling down his straps he�s going to be looking for that FIERCE ANKLE LOCK but he�s met by Funk kick to the gut and DDT planted head first into the microphone echoing around the arena! Funk makes the cover, but there is no referee! Not even The Rock! Is The Rock the referee now or what? Is the match underway or what? This is definately a three count though surely
JR : Running down the aisle who�s that? That�s Nick Patrick Funk is on top of Kurt 1......................2..................Ahhhhhhhh Kurt Angle just throws a shoulder up! Terry can�t believe it as he now rolls outside and he�s grabbed a steel chair from the time keeper, he�s coming back inside but Patrick is blocking it, Rock is up now and he spins Patrick violently but Patrick BOOM blasts The Rock with the steel chair! And these fans are going absolutely crazy! Rock had his way with Hebner but not with Patrick! I don�t recall ever seeing a referee hit a wrestler, especially with a steel chair!
King : I cant believe that moron did that he deserves firing on the spot! You cant do that to the Great One!
JR : Why not The Rock didnt think twice about putting his hand on the officials he got what he deserved!
King : Look at Funk he cant believe what he just saw as Patrick now is back on the job as Kurt Angle is also up behind Funk GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!!!!!! Kurt Angle now into the bridge 1......................2.......................3 That�s it Kurt Angle just defeated Terry Funk, Funk was distracted and Kurt capitilised as Kurt now rolls outside the ring as his music hits as Funk scrambles back up he cant believe it, he�s irate, kicking the ropes, Kurt is smiling as he makes his way back up the aisle as now also The Rock gets up in the ring, not surprisingly Patrick has also left the ring, he�s not going to be in the best books of The Rock or Terry Funk
JR : Rock�s plan back fired his mind games didnt work, but this feud isnt over, this is just the beginning, and dont forget about the wild card Terry Funk, Terry Funk cant be happy with The Rock they are exchanging looks now, I�d like to see these two go in the near future this could all explode soon, folks were out of time see you next week
OOC from |S|T|U|: Sorry for quality of first two matches, I�m to blame for those, I�m not feeling too good and just wanted to get these up so I could crash. The turnout wasn�t great but that�s my fault for posting a late card, and giving a weird Rp deadline. Will give you guys more time next week, thank you for those who did rp appreciate it. Thanks to Steph one again for his help, and chris Turner�s match aswell. Cheers guys
