JR : Hello folks, welcome to the craziest soap you�ll ever see, the best in sports-entertainment action, welcome everybody to Monday Night RAW! I�m Good Ol� Jim Ross and Alongside me is Jerry The King Lawler! And folks we�ve got one unpredictable show ready for you to feast your eyes on tonight!
King : You damn right JR! Tonight is going to be unpredictable, uncensored and totally RAW! Because last week we witnessed the unmasking of KANE! The unstable maniac machine lost a match to Kurt Angle, tapping out from the Angle Lock after almost lasting an amazing two minutes and then after some harsh words from Kurt Angle, Kane did something we�ve been waiting years to see, something that we thought may never happen, Kane unmasked in the middle of the ring for everybody to see, and it wasn�t a pretty sight!
JR : I was absolutely shocked as was the rest of the world, Kane took his mask off and showed everybody that he was a monster! Many didn�t know what to expect, many didn�t know if he was actually a monster, including me, including Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Hulk Hogan, people that Kane said he considered his friends believed he was human but Kane says they didn�t realize his pain and that he was anything but normal, and we found that out didn�t we King, he truly is one hideous monster, on both the inside and outside! But as much as we might not want to see that face, as much as we dont want that monster out here, Hogan has assigned a match, the new Hardcore Champion, Terry Funk, in a non title match one on one with KANE! From what I believe Kane is yet to arrive but when he does all hell could break loose!
King : Also JR we�ve got the two men that Kane has set his fury on in tonights Main Event, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, Benoit is returning after a Sadistic beating at SummerSlam from Kane and Kurt Angle might not be 100% but he wasn�t 100% against the old Kane last week and made him tap so that should be an interesting match, I just hope Kane doesn�t get involved, also JR, guess what! The Rock is back tonight! He�s back for a show taking time off his busy movie schedule, going one on one with Sean O�Haire who put up a good showing on his debut last week in a four way which Goldberg eventually won!
JR : Speaking of Goldberg, he�s going up against the newcomer, Dave Batista here tonight, and infact that match is up next! Can Batista beat the legend that is Goldberg or will Goldberg be able to emulate his performance last week and beat Batista and start some sort of a small straek, like his old WCW days!
King : I can�t wait for Big Bill vs Big Dave it�s gonna be a slobberknocker JR!
Match One
Bill Goldberg vs Dave Batista
No Contest due to no Roleplays
[The camera�s go backstage where we see Terry Funk with the Hardcore title over his shoulder in front of the RAW set and standing alongside him is Coach with a microphone]
Coach : Hello folks, I �m here alongside Terry Funk, our new Hardcore Champion after he beat Justin Credible for the title only last week, of course Terry wasn�t apart of SummerSlam and also was probably too busy celebrating his Hardcore Championship victory to notice the rampage of the Big Red Monster Kane from last week, but later on tonight Terry you face off against Kane in a one on one match, non title, normal wrestling rules apply, with Kane�s ruthless style and your hardcore style who do you think will have the advantage going into this one?
Funk : Well Coach, I�m the Hardcore Champion, I�ve held this title on both Smackdown and RAW I�ve fought the best hardcore wrestlers in this business on both brands and I�ve always ended up on top, As for your question I think I�ll have the advantage tonight, of course I don�t know what the hell to expect from Kane, but then again when the hell did anybody know what to expect from from The Funker? I�m the Hardcore Champion, Kane might be unmasked and uncensored but I�ve been uncensored my whole life, I�ve been unpredictable my whole life and that�s what will give me an advantage in any kind of match, so Kane better be wary tonight of this son of a bitch, the hardcore legend, TERRY FUNK!
**The scene quickly changes to where we see The Rock walking down the corridor and the crowd pop seeing him on the titantron, Rock is in his ring attire apparently walking towards the ring where his match is up next, he stops though and the camera zooms in on him as he raises his eyebrow before he carries on as then the camera switches quickly again and we see Sean O� Haire sitting on a equipment box in the backstage area with his head down obviously thinking about his big match with The Rock as he gets up and strokes his beard and throws a few warm up punches and kicks in the backstage area warming up for the match the crowd are booing this a little even though Sean O� Haire is usually a favourite with the fans, obviously on this one night only return The Rock is going in as the favourite!**
Match Two
The Rock vs Sean O� Haire
JR : The Rock is returning here for a one of show for the first time since his exceptional showing at SummerSlam inside a Steel Cage with Lance and Angle. He�s fully recovered from that now we hear but he�s been accepted for a movie role and we won�t see him on WWE TV for a while after tonight, so will Rock get the send off that he wants or will O� Haire, the newcomer spoil the show!
((( SEAN O� HAIRE )))
Here comes Sean O� Haire now walking out wearing his black leather coat and he slides into the ring as the lights are raised, he grabs the microphone as this crowd are giving him a very mixed reception.
[Sean O� Haire]
Tonight is my night to shine, I get my chance to be really noticed, last week it was Goldberg who stole that spotlight away from me, but this week it will be different, not Goldberg, not Hulk Hogan, and definately not The Rock will stop the spotlight shining on Sean O�Haire! But hey you all know that, I�m not telling you anything you don�t already know, and I�m not telling The Rock anything he doesn�t already know because believe me, People�s Champion, Hollywood Star or whatever, tonight Sean O�Haire is moving on to the next level!
((( Hollywood Introduction Music � IZZZZZZ COOKIN�!!! )))
King : Here he is JR! The Jabroni Beating eleleleleowwww Pie Eating, Heart Stopping, Elbow Dropping People�s Champ The Rock! Haha! He�s back for a match here tonight and to lay the patonkatonktonk on Sean O� Haire!
JR : And Rock is getting a good reaction here but some of these fans enjoy booing him after what has gone before a few months back on Raw, but some respect him after his showing at SummerSlam and also maybe enjoy his movies I dunno, but in any event....
King : JR He�s The Rock! How can you not like this guy?
JR : Rock is in the ring now and he�s climbed the turnbuckle and threw up his arm and smelling the air but O�Haire attacks him from behind, getting in a cheap shot, The Rock not being allowed to salute the people as O�Haire now kicking away at The Rock in the corner and now right hands but Rock blocking and coming back with some right hands of his own and knocking O�Haire towards the centre of the ring out of the corner and Rock now spit punch knocking down O�Haire! This crowd is so mixed some chanting Rocky some chanting Rocky Sucks, but now in any event Rock is stood over O�Haire smelling the air before pulling him up by his hair....
King : Rock now irish whip, O�Haire rebounds clothesline attempt but O�Haire ducks and hits the other side, he comes back and SPINE BUSTER, NO! O�Haire counters with a DDT! Unique counter there by O�Haire, the first time we have seen such a counter to one of Rock�s Spinebusters! I�m one of Rock�s biggest fans but he may be taking Sean O�Haire a little lightly here, O�Haire now covers Rock 1...........2............Rock kicks out! O�Haire now is up and he�s stomping down Rock with some thunderous kicks and now elbow drop across the chest, and a second, and a third, O�Haire covers again, hook of the leg 1..........2...........Rock kicks out again! That must be taking so much out of Rock, they look elementary moves but they will have a huge impact, O�Haire now pulls up Rock and sets up for a powerslam but Rock slips down the back and counters with a HIGH ANGLE BACK SUPLEX, Rock now covers O�Haire 1...........2...........O�Haire kicks out, Rock now goes around to O�Haire�s legs and sets up, SHARPSHOOTER! He turns O�Haire over, this could be it, O�Haire is quite close to the ropes though, but Rock is pulling back hard on the legs and there is pressure on O�Haire�s back, but O�Haire is crawling closer and can he reach the ropes?
JR : YES! O�Haire reached the ropes! Rock now releasing the hold and he�s celebrating, he thinks he�s won, but Jack Doan is telling Rock that the match is continuing and that O�Haire didn�t tap as now Rock turns around and O�Haire is gradually up by the ropes, Rock now SLAPS O�Haire and now Irish whip but O�Haire reverses and Rock hits the ropes but he comes back FLYING LARIAT knocking down O�Haire! Rock now setting up O�Haire he�s in the middle of the ring, kicking in the shoulder, it could be time folks for The People�s Elbow, Rock off the ropes one side, then off the ropes the other side, and now off the ropes again, what is he doing? Now pulling off the elbow pad and throwing it down on O�Haire, taking his time here, but now here it comes PEOPLE�S ELB....NO!!! O�Haire with a leg trip and into a quick cradle on The Rock 1...........2..............3 O�Haire�s won! Sean O� Haire has beaten The Rock!
King : Ahhh!! That�s not fair! The Rock can�t lose to that Jabroni!
JR : He just did King! He just did! O�Haire now rolling out of the ring and pointing to his head saying that he outsmarted The Rock, Rock is irated! Rock now grabbing Doan and tossing him outside, That was Rock�s one match only return before going off for filming and he lost! That is embarrassing! But well done to O�Haire, that�s a huge victory for this youngster!
Winner : Sean O�Haire
[The camera�s go from ringside to somewhere in the back of the arena, it seems apparent that it could be the boiler room, there is a lot of steel poles, concrete walls and floors, looking very chilling and very dark and shadowy, the camera pans around to see a steel divider, everything looks cold and still until we see someone rattling the divider and making some strange noises and heavy breathing, we then see through the shadows what appears to be The Big Red Monster Kane, we can�t see the whole of his face because of something on his head that looks like a black towel, Kane keeps rattling the divider and eventually he completely rips it down and he walks over it and through another door on the opposite side of the boiler room]
King : Oh my god! Kane is here! That Big Red Monster is here Ahhh!!
JR : Well we haven�t done anything to infuriate him but his attitude just lately is absolutely sickening in my view, he�s turned on the fans, he says they turned on him but I�m not buying that for a second and last week Kane took off that mask that was covering his face and what we saw was truly disturbing, that face was red raw almost all of the flesh looked to be burned completely off and that long hair, it came completely off with the mask, he must have been in one hell of an inferno as a child!
King : But JR, didn�t you just see Kane? We couldn�t see much of that freaky monstrous face but it didn�t look too bad to me, must have had some sort of plastic surgery since last Monday haha!
JR : You�ve got a point King, maybe we�ll find out in due time, Kane�s face didn�t look in as bad of a state as it was last week when that mask came off, Kane still has a lot of explaining to do in my view, and hopefully we�ll get a decent explanation soon!
Match Three
Non - Title
Terry Funk (HC) vs KANE
((( FUNK U)))
JR : Here comes our WWE Hardcore Champion, Terry Funk! The first man since the brand extension to hold a title on both Raw and Smackdown brands, which Terry has achieved as he was the Hardcore Champion on Smackdown last year.
King : Terry Funk is the Hardcore Champion and tonight he�s going up against that big red monster Kane, but somehow I don�t think Funk is going to be backing down! Funk is in the ring now warming up by the ropes as he gives his title to the referee as he awaits the arrival of Kane....
((( BOOM!! � The Big Red Monster KANE! )))
King : Ahhhhh!!!! Here comes The Big Red Monster JR!
JR : This isn�t a man King, He is a genuine real life MONSTER! He proved that last week to the world, when he unmasked and showed his face to the rest of the world, Kane wearing that towel over his head to shield the scars from the fire he was in as a child, but compared to last week his face doesn�t look disfigured at all
King : That�s a point I brought up earlier and I�m going to answer it the way you answered it Jr and that is by saying that we�ll probably find out the story in due time, there is enough to get our heads around already JR when talking about this Big Red Monstrous Freak Kane!
JR : Kane now taking a big step over the top rope and into the centre of the ring, he is bowing his head and raising his arms and pulls the towel off his head with both hands and throwing it to the mat and staring across the ring at Funk who is walking towards Kane, looking into the eyes of the monster, Funk isn�t backing down an inch! Funk and Kane now chest to chest and Kane with TWO HUGE MITS across the neck of Funk but Funk kicks away at the knee�s of Kane and he releases as the bell sounds, Funk throwing rights and lefts at Kane now knocking him back towards the ropes and now Kane is reeling on the ropes as Funk hits a CLOTHESLINE and Kane goes over the ropes to the outside!
Fans : TERRY! TERRY! TERRY! TERRY!
King : Funk just knocked Kane over the ropes but he landed on his feet JR! Kane now stepping back onto the apron but Funk comes off the ropes and hits another clothesline knocking Kane off the apron and Kane smacks his head on the ring apron there, Kane holding that freaky face as now Funk uses a Baseball slide and that knocks Kane reeling, Kane is incensed he is breathing heavily, Funk is not afraid of this monster! Funk now coming outside walking up behind Kane and hits a chop block at the bottom of the aisle to the left leg, the leg that Kurt had locked up with the Angle Lock last week and now Funk with another and Kane is on one knee, Funk is going to work on Kane here and these fans are fully behind him, Funk now chop block to the other leg and and another and Kane down to both knee�s at the bottom of the aisle, Kane maybe embarrassed here tonight by Funk! Funk now runs up to Kane and DROPKICK! Kane has been knocked onto his back at the bottom of the aisle!
JR : Funk has put down the monster! But now look KANE SITS RIGHT UP! Funk has seen this and he�s adjusting the steel steps, Funk has grabbed the top off the steel steps and he�s negotiating it, it�s very heavy but he�s managed to lift the steps but Kane is up here back on his feet amazingly and BIG BOOT INTO THE STEPS & INTO THE FACE OF TERRY FUNK! Damn that�s changed the complexion of this match and It�s gotta hurt!
King : Kane now with his heavy breathing and groaning, smiling at what he just did as he pulls up Funk who has a cut across his head from that shot and now he�s got Funk in a bearhug position and ramming his back into the ringpost! And now Kane is doing it again, and again and again, 4 times before changing the position into a military press and tossing him between the second and third ropes! That�s just pure monstrous strength! Kane now rolls back inside the ring in control of this match, changing to a slow pace as he hits the ropes and ELBOW DROP but Funk moves out of the way and Kane hits canvas but Kane sits right back up! Funk and Kane getting up at the same time as Funk backs into a corner, he�s feeling that back and also he can taste that blood dripping down from the wound on his forehead and now Kane charges in at Funk but he manages to get his feet up and Kane is sent backwards, Kane charges in once more but this time Funk leapfrogs Kane with leverage and elevation off the ropes, Kane hits his chest in the corner and Funk is behind Kane and hits a Neckbreaker! And now a cover 1...............2..........Kane muscles out!
King : Terry Funk now kicking away at Kane on the mat as Kane is trying to pull himself up by the ropes, Funk now shoulder barging Kane in the corner and again and again, three shoulder barges before Kane shoves him away, Funk comes in for another Shoulder barge but Kane runs out of the corner with a decapitating CLOTHESLINE! Kane now went off his feet with that one as he is now on his knee�s, Kane is growling almost here as he pulls up Funk and uses a SIDEWALK SLAM, Kane now walks across the ring and over the ropes onto the apron, he�s climbing the top rope and almost stalking Funk here as Funk gradually gets up and turns around and Kane flies off the top rope and connects with the FLYING CLOTHESLINE! Funk must be out from that as Kane crawls into a cover and hook of the leg 1..............2..............Funk kicks out! Kane cocks his head a little at the referee, he thought that should have been all, Kane now standing up and ruffling that gloved hand, he�s preparing for a Choke Slam, Funk is getting himself up by the ropes, surely he cant stand any more offence, Kane is preparing to end this match, Funk is up and he�s turned around GOOZLE!!! Kane has Funk in his grip but OH NO!!! Funk with a HUGE LOW BLOW A Kick right down south and into a DDT! The referee is letting it go as Funk manages to get an arm across Kane and the ref counts, 1..............2....................KANE SITS UP! That arm draped across Kane just fell off Kane�s chest as he sat up and now Kane rolls over Funk onto his back and grabs him around the neck and pulls him up to his feet, I can�t believe this guy JR! Kane now has Funk and he�s shouting into his face as he has him around his neck and now CHOKESLAM FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL! Kane just drilled Funk with a devastating Choke Slam! As Kane now pins down the arms 1............2.............3 Kane wins this match, but Terry Funk put up one hell of a fight! I can�t believe Kane, who�s going to stop this monster?! Who�s going to stop the new Kane? The REAL KANE?!
JR : Kane now rolling out under the bottom rope, he�s walking to the back, but now what? He�s stopped and he�s turning around he�s looking to the ring, his music is playing and the red light is over the ring, he�s making his way back to the ring? Come on Kane you�ve caused enough chaos! You�ve had your match Kane and you won well done now leave!
King : He�s looking under the ring JR, whats he looking for? What�s he got JR?
JR : I don�t know but it looks like some sort of tool box, Kane shaking it about on the outside and yes it is look King, all those tools feel out, what the hell is he doing? He�s sorting through those tools for something....
King : He�s not planning on fixing the ring after that devastating Choke Slam is he? Come on Kane! Stop it seriously! Kane has got a hold of a WRENCH, JR stop him! Kane don�t do this!
JR : Damn It! Someone needs to stop this, Funk is getting up slowly in the ring and he�s turning around but NO! KANE JUST STRUCK FUNK WITH THAT WRENCH! MY GOD!
King : I�m speechless JR! Funk�s whole face may be caved in! Drop that wrench Kane! GOOD! He dropped it, Kane now smiling though happy seemingly at what he�s done! It makes me completely sick to my stomach! This monster is unstoppable!
Winner : Kane
[The scene goes backstage and we see Hollywood Hulk Hogan, and Jimmy Hart about to go in their office, just as they are about to go in, Hogan notices his plaque has been taken off the door and left on the floor. Hogan picks it up plaque, he looks puzzled, then opens the door. The camera�s follow him in and we see Ric Flair and the Undisputed champion, Triple H lounging around going through Hogan�s things. Triple H is sprawled out on Hogan�s leather suite while Flair is looking at something on Hogan�s computer. There is paper all over the office, Triple H gives a smirk as he notices Hogan and Hart in the room]
Hulkster: What the hell is going on here, you have no right to be in here, you want to come into my office you knock and wait, you don�t waltz in when I�m not even here�.. Besides which you�ve messed all my paper work up� GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE!
Naitch: Is that any way to treat a former employee of Raw and an old friend�
Hulkster: You stopped becoming an old friend you aligned with that piece of trash sprawled out on my leather suite!
Triple H: I think the world of you too Hulk, listen all me and Ric were doing was going through some of the past TV ratings, trying to find the faults. I�d also like to point out that your TV rating was up last week, better than the week before, funny that the very night I come over on Raw again to evolve this brand�
Ric Flair: What�s the matter Hogan, can�t you take some constructive criticism?
[Triple H and Flair give a little laugh]
Hart: Where�s Orton, I don�t like this situation�
Naitch: Don�t tell me we actually got the mouth of the south to shut up? Unfortunatly, The Future of Wrestling, the European champion is at home after being injured last week on Smackdown. (Talking to hunter) Look at the ratings this time last year, they were double what they are getting now, such a shame�.. since I�ve been gone it�s just gone down a slippery slope�
Hulkster: Right I�ve had enough, Flair get the hell away from my computer, Helmsley get your ass of my suite� and get the hell out of ��. (Hogan pauses and starts to think) You know what, I�ve got a better idea, seeing as your so keen to get the TV ratings up, no doubt Hunter you�ll be back here next week right?
Triple H: What miss a chance to get under your skin, of course I�m going to be here next week�.
Hulkster: Well as your going to exercise your right to come onto my show, and there is a law that I haven�t enforced for a while�. As you are the Undisputed champion, which means any person over both brands can wrestle you for that title�..
Ric Flair: Shut up Hogan, you haven�t got any competition to match up to the Game, no one from Raw is even in the same league as Hunter, so don�t even bother�.
Hulkster: Oh no I wouldn�t dream of booking you in a title match Hunter, but what I am going to do is book you next week for the first time Triple H will be appearing on Raw in singles action!
Triple H: Please Hogan, I beat the best this brand had to offer at the King of the Ring, you remember me out wrestling Kurt Angle, fine if you want someone put n the injured list by yours truly, Ill be more than happy to wrestle next week!
Hulkster: I�m glad your so confident�. Next week in the Main event, in one corner the Game, the Undisputed champion against KANE!
[A look of fear comes over Hunter�s face, Flair�s mouth drops to the floor, ric stutters trying to get his words out]
Naicth: Yooo�.. Yo� You cant card an athlete at his peak against that monster, he isn�t a wrestler anymore, he�s� he�s�. a psycho�..
Hulkster: See you next week fella�s, but for now get out of my office!
[Triple H squares off to Hogan before leaving the room, Flair slams the door behind them as they leave. Hart crashes on the leather suite laughing, the camera�s go back to ringside]
King : Hogan can�t do that! You saw what Kane did to Terry Funk just! Why the hell is Hogan rewarding Kane for absolutely destroying everything in sight!
JR : Think about it King, don�t you think It�s a good move on the part of Hulk Hogan, if you�ve got such a huge monster such as Kane in the company, why not use him to your advantage? He really threw it into Triple H�s face there and so next week The Uncontrollable Big Red Monster Kane goes one on one with the Undisputed Champion Triple H! That�s going to be one hell of a Main Event match!
**A Commercial advertising the RAW Brand wrestlers is shown as the camera�s then shows a split screen of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit working out for their upcoming match, Benoit is on the left doing some stretches against a wall and Kurt Angle is shaking off his legs and arms and then picks up his medals and walks down the corridor, this technical affair between two of RAW�s finest is coming up NEXT!**
MAIN EVENT
Match Four
Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle
JR: Next we have two of the best technical wrestlers, this industry has ever seen, a proud Canadian, and a proud American, Chris Benoit against Kurt angle. Chris Benoit is determined to get a win tonight to try and get back into the contendership to the IC title. What better way than to beat the champ here tonight.
King: Yeah but both of these guys pointed out that Kane is going to showing his ugly face around here in the match. I mean what with all that went on last week with Kurt Angle, and the injury Benoit still has from Kane�s attack at Summerslam!
(( TOOTHLESS AGGRESSION ))
[Chris Benoit walks out wear a pair of blue trousers, down one side of the legs it reads �Wolverine� Benoit walks down the rampway and slides under the bottom rope, he warms up by stretching using the ropes]
JR: That neck injury will probably be a factor here tonight, there is no way Benoit could have recovered in less that 2 weeks, since the 2 tombstone�s from Kane.
(( WHO SUCKS NOW? � IC Champ ))
[Kurt walks out with the IC championship strapped around his waist. Kurt makes his way down to the ring not taking his eyes off Benoit, until he gets to the edge of the rampway. Kurt then throws his arms in the air and lifts his head up, red white and blue pyrotechnics shoot up alongside the ramp. Kurt then rolls under the bottom rope]
King: Kurt hands his strap to the referee, Earl now handing to the time keeper, Hebner calls for the bell and this main event is under way. Angle and Benoit circle each other, Benoit looking to hook up with Angle, they do so, Angle pushing angle towards the corner, Angle finds strength from some where, he knows back Benoit into the corner�.

BACK SUPLEX on Chris Benoit. Angle back up and waits for Benoit to get back up aswell, angle rams Benoit into the corner with a shoulder block. Kurt hammering away with another few of those shoulder blocks. Benoit falls to one knee now� Kurt looking for more offence� UPPERCUT from Mr.Toothless Aggression himself. So much for technical wrestling, that uppercut has set Kurt a fair distance back. Gives enough time for Benoit to get to his feet, Angle makes an advance hooks his arms around Benoit�s waist� going for a belly belly�. Benoit blocks it by hooking his leg�.the go behind from Benoit, he�s locked his arms around Kurt now�. GERMAN! Benoit tries to keep his arm�s locked in, but Kurt has gotten free, Benoit to vertical base first
JR: Both men lock back up, this situation must have some strain on Benoit�s neck, which is never a good thing but in the case of Benoit, it�s a lot worse� Angle sends Benoit into the ropes, Christ look at the velocity of that, Benoit goes straight over the ropes to the outside. Kurt is following him now, Kurt catches up with series of right hands to the Rabid Wolverine, Benoit falling back onto the security barricade. Kurt tries to bounce his head off the barrier. Benoit puts on the brakes using his hands to stop himself going into the barrier. Benoit breaks free and hits a KNIFE CHOP to Kurt. Benoit now bouncing Kurt�s head off the barricade.

DDT TO THE APRON. Kurt jumped from the apron onto the mad, and took Benoit�s skull with him. That did damage to Benoit�s neck right there. Kurt is rolling back into the ring, he drags Benoit inside the ring, makes the cover 1�����..2����. Benoit had a foot outside the ring, brilliant officiating by Hebner there. Kurt is pulling Benoit more into the ring, where is Kurt going now, Kurt climbing the tunbuckle, up on the second now the third, takes a look over his shoulder�.. TOP ROPE MOONSAULT��can he connect�. BENOIT MOVED!... Benoit moved ever so slightly and Kurt misses his target, Benoit rolls back, he�s got Kurt�s arm CRIPPLER CROSSFACE�. Benoit takes control of the match once again� Kurt is going to have stretch to get to the ropes, but will he be able to make it before it�s too late� Kurt is reaching, Earl on the mat asking Kurt whether he wants to quit, he isn�t getting a response form Kurt, Kurt using all his attention span on getting that bottom rope to break this submission hold� Benoit pulling back even more on Kurt�s head� Kurt is screaming and has changed to a shade of red� Kurt makes the ropes. Benoit holding it on 1��2��.3��.4�. almost a 5 count. Benoit taking advantage of every last moment before he was disqualified. Benoit now makes the cover 1����.2����� Kurt gets a shoulder up
King: Each man showing innovative counters, the DDT onto the apron and the Crossface from a failed Moonsault! But it doesn�t look as if these two are through. Each man trying to get up to their feet, Kurt is using the ropes.

Benoit picks Kurt up to get him vertical, sends him into the corner� bounces out� Benoit hooks up for a German suplex, goes for it� Kurt uses the ropes to block the move� LEG SWEEP from Angle, he�s got Benoit�s left ankle�. ANGLE LOCK�� ANGLE LOCK applied to Benoit, Kurt has it locked in, in the centre of the ring� It�s just a matter of time�. Benoit pushing himself up to relieve the pressure but, you can�t do that for long�. He�s trying to roll through to break it, Angle applies more pressure�. Benoit taps� he had no other option.
(( BOOOOM � MONSTER UNLEASHED ))
JR: Oh god no, here comes Kane, he�s come to pick apart the pieces, these two men have just gone a good 20 minutes in the ring and now he�s come to claim his trophy. Kurt can�t believe what he�s saying, he�s helping Benoit up, he sees Kane. They are both ready for Kane, Kane enters the ring over the top rope� Angle and Benoit charge at Kane� they go for a double clothesline�. It just knocked kane back one step�. Kane grabs each man by the throat� this is going to be ugly� and I mean uglier than that hideous face of Kanes! Kane now� He lift�s Kurt up� CHOKESLAM�� He lifts Benoit up�.

Kane is pointing to Triple H, he�s telling him one on one next week. What the hell has Hogan done booking the champ in a match with a psychopath like that�.
[The Raw copyright logo comes up as we see Kane throw his arms down setting the pyrotechnics off on each corner of the ring]
