Was a good game to watch, we've got a great chance of going through now, but going to Italy to play them is going to be a tough game. They could just as easily put two past us if we are not careful. But I belive that if we get an early goal against them, then we will have no trouble going on to win it.
Fabregas once again showed his class for such a young age, quick question. Did Lehman have to make a save?
I honestly can't remeber him being troubled with any decent shots on goal, though im probably wrong.

Friday 1st March 2002
WWF Name Saved
The current report is that Vince McMahon and the World Wildlife Fund have come to an agreement over the allowance of the WWF initials. The latest word is that the court case has been dropped and the WWF have pulled out of suing Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation. It is believed that the World Wildlife Fund will be allowing Vince McMahon to carry on using the WWF initials, after an out of court settlement was agreed between the two parties.
New Hirings
It is rumoured that two former WCW stars have put pen to paper and signed deals with the WWF. The two stars are said to be huge names, and will be involved in the nWo story. It is unknown who the stars are, but it is said one is a major shock signing and that both have been involved in the nWo before. It is expected that over the next few weeks the WWF will be hiring more stars to written contracts, to be used in the nWo program.
Paul Heyman to leave
Paul Heyman currently has only two months left his contract and is yet to reach a deal with Vince McMahon over a contract extension. It is believed that many superstars are keen on Heyman re-signing and taking a role in creative for the nWo stroy line, or even making an appearance himself in some capacity. But as we all know, what the wrestlers want is never the same as what Vince McMahon wants. Many belive that McMahon wont resign him , and he will go onto to feature in the WWA promotion, after his 90 day no appearance clause is up.

Thanks for the feedback chrishardcore, much aprreciated. Hope you enjoy things to come with the nWo.

PREVIEWThis week's Smackdown is one for the ages. The nWo's Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash will square off against two of the most successful men ever to set foot in a wrestling Ring, Steve Austin and The Rock.
Monday night on Raw the nWo got a taste of their own medicine as The Rock and the Texas Rattlesnake took out the nWo backstage. Scott Hall called for reinforcements only to be met by the sound of glass shattering. Steve Austin hit the ring and demolished the nWo member.
This week the nWo will be sure to look for revenge after being show up by two men. Is this the beginning of the end for the nWo, or have Steve Austin and The Rock bitten of more than they can chew.
Also in action will be Goldust, his stalking of fellow superstar Rob Van Dam has taken a bizarre turn, after their encounter at No Way Out Goldust seems to want a little bit of revenge. But now he seems to be stalking not Rob Van Dam, but Rob Van Dam's hardcore title.
What will Ric Flair have to say regarding the video sent to him from the Undertaker, will the deadman finally get what he wants, or will Flair carry on to resist Undertakers demand for a match at Wrestlemania.
Confirmed matches for Smackdown
*Goldust vs Godfather
*Triple H vs Booker T
*Edge vs Chris Jericho
*Steve Austin/The Rock vs Hollywood Hogan/Kevin Nash

Raw 25th February 2002Fireworks set of from the stage way of the arena signalling the start of Monday Night Raw. The camera pans around the arena, many fans standing on their feet and waving their signs around, as the Raw music plays in the background.
The camera cuts to the announcers desk, where Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are seated.
JR - Welcome fans to Monday Night Raw, im Jim Ross and as always alongside me is Jerry "The King" Lawler. What a night we have in store for you, many great matches have been announced for tonight's show, including, get this King. Chris Benoit verses the nWo's Scott Hall.
King - Oh JR what a match that could be, but you gotta help wonder what Benoit's chances are, I mean we saw on Smackdown what happened to The Rock. The nWo travels in three's, not one's.
JR - Well that is very true King, very true indeed, the latest word on The Rock is that he spent the weekend in a local medical facility, and is now out and at home resting, so Rock if you're watching which no doubt you are, get better soon
King - And JR any news on your good friend Steve Austin.
JR - King I spoke to the Rattlesnake over the weekend, and let's just say he will be back in no time to dish out some revenge. He got his knee checked over, and has been told he just needs to rest it, he should be back in action within the week King.
JR - Within the week, nWo you better watch out, cause you got the 'rattlesnake' Steve Austin to deal with now.
No Chance....
Three Way at Wrestlemania
The music for Vince McMahon is heard all around the arena, within seconds the 50% owner of the World Wrestling Federation is out from the back and heading down to the ring, as usual doing his power strut and with a microphone grasped in his palm.
Vince enters the ring and puts the microphone to his lips, but pauses as he is met with a reception of boos.
Vince - Boo all you want, go on, boo to your hearts content, but it won't stop me making the announcement im about to make. And Ric Flair, my soon to be ex fifty percent partner may I add, you might want to listen to what I have to say as well.
You see this announcement is being made because of the incompetence of one man, and you all know who im talking about, yes im talking about that son of a bitch Ric Flair.
The crowd boo at Vince's statement regarding Ric Flair
You see three men last week on Smackdown tore the backstage area apart, they caused havoc and generally made peoples job's even harder than normal. Those three men im talking about are, Chris Jericho, Triple H and Kurt Angle.
And why where they fighting, because Ric Flair couldn't make a number one contender for the Undisputed title. Two weeks in a row they fought, and two weeks in a row, Ric Flair messed up. Now because of his incompetence I've had to tell Triple H, and Chris Jericho, and also Kurt Angle to stay at home for tonight's Raw.
The crowd boo as the announcement of the missing superstars
Cause well, quite frankly I can't have three men running havoc backstage on my shows. I can't have three men fighting backstage, I can't have three men making the life's of everyone backstage a misery with their antics.
Vince lets out a smirk
Oh but wait a minute, wait just a damn minute, what am I saying yes we can, hell we already do, the nWo, how could I forget. looks like their was no need to keep the three men at home after all. But lets face it, had Flair sorted it out in the first place, you fans would have got to see your favourite superstars competing in that ring tonight.
Vince smiles as he talks on the mic, pleased with himself.
But once again Ric Flair has screwed you good paying fans out of what you want. But I, Vincent Kennedy McMahon will give you fans what you want, I will give you Chris Jericho, Triple H and Kurt Angle...... but not tonight. No you will have to wait till Wrestlemania for that, cause this is my announcement, at Wrestlemania it will be Chris Jericho defending his Undisputed title against Kurt Angle and Triple H.
The crowd for the first time let out a few cheers, at the announcement of the Wrestlemania main event.
Now Hunter, I can understand you are probably at home right now, thinking you just got screwed, cause you won the match on Smackdown for the title shot. And well yes, frankly you just did get screwed. But im just doing what Ric Flair did to Kurt in the first place. You see Flair made the first match at No Way Out void because of a biased referee, so im just doing the same, since Chris Jericho used his influences to help steer the match in your favour.
But Hunter you can't blame me, you can blame Ric Flair, he should have been more precise when booking a special guest referee.
Oh and Flair just remember all the actions you take, have ramifications. We only need to ask Steve Austin and The Rock after what happened to them on Smackdown. It's all coming to light now Nature Boy, Smackdown you was in control, and Smackdown was a shambles, two of your biggest superstars got injured and you failed to keep a main event without there being all hell running lose. If I was you Flair, I'd hand me my fifty per cent back straight away, cause you and I both know, things ain't gonna get any easier.
With that No chance plays out over the arena, Vince drops the microphone and heads up the ramp and off of the backstage area.
100%
JR- What a load of Bull King, the only reason we didn't get a official number one contender in the fist place was because of the nWo attacking Kurt and Triple H, and who brought in the nWo. Vince McMahon, he is just trying to put all the blame onto Flair.
King - Well even if you don't like the way Vince goes about his business, you can't deny we have been given a great main event match for Wrestlemania when we head for Toronto. Jericho verses Triple H verses Kurt Angle, what a match, JR what a match.
Tajiri vs Kidman
Cruiserweight title match
Lilian Garcia announces out Billy Kidman first, he strolls to the ring and then rolls inside and faces the ramp, awaiting the arrival of Tajiri.
Lilian announces out Tajiri as the Cruiserweight champion of the world.
End Of Match -
Kidman levels out Tajiri with a dropkick, he signals for the top rope, as he climbs though Tajiri gets to his feet and lands a running elbow to Kidman's back. Tajiri places Kidman on the top turnbuckle, he looks to go for a top rope move, but Kidman kicks at him, and again, Tajiri drops off the top and lands on the ref. Kidman tries to settle him self back into position on the top rope. But Tajiri springs to his feet and blows MIST into the face of Kidman, Kidman falls from the top ropes and Tajiri goes to quickly cover him, the ref returning back to action makes the count. 1......2.......3

JR - Up next is brother verses brother, as Christian takes on Edge.
Christian challenges DDP
Christian comes out his fancy pyro, gold streams coming from the top of the titontron, He cockily walks to the ring, and as he enters snatches the microphone form Lilian Garcia as she announces.
Lilian is ushered out of the ring by Christian, he strikes a pose similar to that of DDP'S smile, before beginning to talk on the microphone.
Christian - You know there have been rumours flying around that Christian has ran DDP out of the WWF for good. And I hate to say it, but it's true, Diamond Dallas Page got scared of the peep nation and bailed. You see you saw how I was beating his ass every week, and he got scared, he's gone from being a heavyweight champion in WCW, (Christian snigger's) to being my Bitch in the WWF.
But Page has got something I want, and no it's not his wife. I've already had that, just like the rest of the boys in the back.
No he's got the European championship, and I want it. So Page if you ever decide to come out of hiding, and want to face up to the peep nation, im challenging you to a match at Wrestlemania for the European championship.

Edges music plays out over the PA system as soon as Christian has finished talking, Edge runs down to the ring and slides in, Christian makes the jump start.
End Of Match -
Edge whips Christian into the turnbuckle he looks to go for the Spear but Christian moves out of the way and Edge goes shoulder first into the ring post. Christian pulls Edge out and take hold of him looking for the Unprettier, but Edge breaks out of the hold and pushes Christian away, he goes flying to the outside of the ring.
The ref goes to check on him, out of the crowd comes William Regal. Regal slides into the ring and nails Edge across the forehead. Edge drops straight away, Regal kisses his fist and pulls of some brass Knuckles. Christian slides into the ring, a little groggy, he quickly crawl over to Edge and makes the pin 1......2......3
Regal slides back into the ring, and places the knuckles over his fist. He waits till Edge gets to his feet and nails him once again with the Knuckles. Regal for a third time hits Edge busting him wide open, WWF officials come running down to pull Regal away from Edge. Medical staff attend to Edge.

Billy and Chuck are announced out first. They are soon followed by Scotty and Albert.
End Of Match -
Billy sends a left to Albert, but he blocks it, and then sends in a big punch of his own, then whips Billy of the ropes and nails him with a big boot.
The crowd seem to liven up and get more anxious, suddenly we see Hall and Nash come out from the crowd.
Scott Hall and Kevin Nash slide into the ring and attack Albert, Billy tries to get to his feet but Nash big boots him back down to the canvas. Scotty and Chuck both enter the ring at the same time and go to attack the Outsiders, but Hall slugs Chuck with a big right and Nash big boots Scotty. Billy and Chuck roll out of the ring but Hollywood Hogan comes walking down the the ramp, with spray cans in his hand. Hogan reached the ring, Billy and Chuck have their backs to him. Hogan nails both Billy and Chuck with the spray cans.
Back in the ring Nash picks up Scotty, and sets him up for a JACKNIFE. Scott Hall then sets up Chuck for the Outsiders Edge. Hogan rolls in Billy and Chuck and then throws in the spray cans.
The nWo stomp down all for men, before spraying the nWo initials over their backs. Hogan, Hall and Nash celebrate in the ring, giving each other high fives, and then spitting down at the fallen bodies in the ring.

JR - They disgust me King, the nWo had no right being out here, once again they think they can do what they want, when they want.
King - Well JR incase you haven't noticed they all ready do.
JR - Well I hope Chris Benoit kicks Scott Hall's ass tonight. I hope he gives Hall some pay back for those four men in that ring.
It's about time someone showed the nWo who's boss around here.
King - JR I think your forgetting that Steve Austin and The Rock already tried that, and look where that got them. Austin got assaulted in the middle of the ring and had to be taken away, and The Rock got Jack knifed on his own car.
Fight me now Flair
The camera cuts to the back stage area, where Ric Flair is seated and watching a video tape. Flair has an expression of worry and anxiety. Flair's eyes are glued to the TV set that he is watching the Video from. The Video cuts off, and Flair's face drops, he looks worried and sad. He mumbles to himself "son of a bitch"
A voice is heard laughing, the camera spins around to see the Undertaker leaning on the door.
Taker - What's the matter Flair, don't you like what you saw.
Flair - Taker you son of bitch im gonna Kill you.
Flair springs up from his seat and charges at The Undertaker, both men fall out of the doorway and into the corridor. Flair is on top of Taker and laying into him, hard shots to the head. Taker manages to throw Flair from off, of him and then jumps at him and starts laying into Flair. Road agents and security come piling into the melee and drag the two men apart. Flair tries to attack Taker but is kept from meeting him as the security and agents push Flair back. Taker just looks at Flair and laughs.
"Wrestlemania old man, and it'll all be over. Just Fight me Flair, fight me now"

JR - What the hell is he playing at, who does he think he is, what gives him the right to taunt a fellow human being like this. Flair doesn't want a match, why can't he leave it at that.
King - JR, I wanna know what was on that tape, cause whatever it was certainly got Flair all fired up.
JR - Well whatever it was, there is a good chance it was something evil and calculated, especially when it's got something to do with the Undertaker.
Up next is Rob Van Dam going one on one with Raven.
RVD vs Raven -
Hardcore title match
Lilian announces Raven out as the first competitor, he comes down to the ring with a trolley full of weapons.
RVD comes out next and as he hits the ring goes to do his R-V-D taunt, but is cut of mid way by a shot to the head with a trash can lid from Raven.
End Of Match -
RVD nails Raven with a shot to the head from a trash can, knocking Raven out of the ring. Raven scurries around on the floor and then looks to go under the ring apron searching for something. As RVD goes to the ropes Raven pulls out a fire extinguisher from under the ring and sets it off, in the face of RVD. RVD goes hurtling backwards into the centre of the ring, Raven sides in and looks to set it of once more, but Goldust comes running down the ramp and slides into the ring. Goldust snatches the fire Extinguisher and drills it into Ravens head.
Goldust slides out of the ring and watches on from the outside as RVD climbs the top turnbuckle and hits the Five Star Frog Splash. The ref counts the 1....2.....3 RVD retains the hardcore title.
Goldust and RVD stare at each other as RVD has he hand raised and the Hardcore title handed over to him. Goldust looks at the belt and blows a Kiss to it. And then does the same to RVD. Van Dam, drops the belt and charges to the outside to attack Goldust.
Both men brawl, but referees come piling out of the back and hold the two men apart.

JR - That Goldust certainly is bizarre, I really don't understand him King, I really don't.
King - JR any man that can understand Goldust is most probably just as bizarre as he is.
JR - Well it looks like Goldust wants the Hardcore title, most probably due to the fact that it's just because RVD has it.
King - Well they have been battling each other for the past few weeks. Even after RVD beat Goldust at No Way Out it seems he still wants more.
Benoit beat down
We are taken backstage to the locker rooms. Chris Benoit is warming up ahead of his match with Scott Hall.
Suddenly the door swings open and the nWo's Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall enter the room. Benoit stops warming up and just stares a whole in the nWo, Benoit gets into a stance, ready for a fight.
Hogan - Well well, what we got here, Scotty I think this is your opponent for tonight, the 'Wolverine' Chris Benoit.
Hall - Ha, this punk got no chance against me, cause im gonna give him a beating just as if he was Stone Cold himself.
Nash - Hey boys, what you say we give the 'Crippler' a preview for tonight's match.
Benoit moves in for the first attack trying to get some kind of advantage before the nWo strike. Benoit charges down the centre man Scott Hall. He manages to land a couple of punches before he is dragged off by Hogan and Nash.
Nash slugs out a right to Benoit and then Hogan sends in one of his own, knocking Benoit to the ground. Hall gets to his feet and the three men stomp away at Benoit. Hogan pauses for a second, looks around the room and picks up a chair. Hogan raises the chair and slams it down over Benoit's Ankle. Hogan drops the chair to the floor, Hall grabs hold of Benoit's ankle and twists it. Hall lets go and the three men laugh as they leave the locker room, leaving Benoit down and hurt.

King - Well it looks like the nWo strike again, what did I say JR about not fancying Benoit's chances against the nWo.
JR - You were right King, once again those damn nWo strike again. There nothing but coward King, cowards. They strike in threes and now there is every chance they have shattered Chris Benoit' ankle, with that chair shot.

JR - Some tension between The APA and the Hardy boyz.
King - You think that has anything to do with the Hardy Boyz walking away from them last week, when the Dudley's attacked them.
JR - Well if it was, you would have thought the Hardy Boyz have redeemed them selves making the save here tonight.
Rock and Austin
The Camera cuts to the back where the nWo are standing around talking to each other.
Hogan - You ready Scott.
Hall - Yeah baby, time to take this punk to school.
Nash - Hey Scott we'll be waiting here for the signal, as soon as ya done, we'll be ready.
Halls walks off towards the ring, as Hogan and Nash pat him on the back.

Suddenly Steve Austin and The Rock come storming into the room, both with chairs in hand. Austin nails Hogan with a chair shot and The Rock does the same to Nash. Nash and Hogan drop to the floor. Austin viciously slams the chair down over Hogan several times, The Rock stalks Nash and as he is about to get to his feet nails him with a second chair shot.

Friday 22nd February
WWF Name Change
The rumour going round at the moment is that the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wrestling Federation may be bale to strike up an agreement over the use of the WWF initials. The World Wildlife fund is currently suing the World Wrestling Federation for breaching an agreement the two have over the use of the WWF initials.
Vince McMahon has said to be talking to the World Wildlife Fund, about a settlement claim, in the hopes that he can keep the WWF name and logo.
Saturn resigns
Perry Saturn has just put pen to paper and signed a twelve month extension on his contract. His current contract runs up in three months time.
DDP hiatus
The angle on Smackdown involving Diamond Dallas Page, and his wife Kimberly Page is the set up for Page taking time off TV for a few weeks. Expect Page to be back in time for Wrestlemania to defend his European title. DDP is expected to drop his "Positive" Gimmick and return to the old DDP gimmick.
Big names heading to the Federation
With the New World Order in full swing, there are talks of bringing in some old faces that have been associated with the nWo in the past. It is unknown at this time who those names are. Many are hoping for the arrival of Sting somewhere down the line, to do battle against his old enemies, Hogan, Hall and Nash. But it is not know if Sting will be one of the old faces to make an arrival in the WWF.

21st February 2002
Fireworks set off around the arena, many different signs in the crowd, including, a "I love Kurt" sign, and and "Austin 3:16 sign" The camera cuts to the announcers desk.
Cole -Hello and welcome everybody to Smackdown, im Michael Cole, and as always alongside me is Tazz.
And what a night Raw was Tazz, what a night.
Tazz - O not doubt Cole, no doubt, I mean the nWo strike again, they shown us what they are made of, and of course sending out that message to Ric Flair, that they want him to give up his half of the company. And they will stop at nothing to get it.
Cole- Mr McMahon drafted the nWo in for one reason and one reason only, to help him get back full control of the WWF. And well frankly it's not looking too good for Ric Flair, at the moment not only has he got to deal with Mr McMahon and the nWo but he has got personal issues with The Undertaker.
Tazz - Or as JR likes to call him, bugga red. But no Cole your right, these past few weeks even before No Way Out we've seen The Undertaker doing whatever it takes to persuade Flair to fight him at Wrestlemania, in Toronto.
Cole - Well lets tell you about some of tonight's action, we will see Jazz defend her title against Lita, we will also see The APA'S Bradshaw and Faarooq take on the Hardy Boyz. also in tag team action will be Diamond Dallas Page and Edge teaming up to take on William Regal and Christian.
And in the main event, already booked by Co-Owner of the World Wrestling Federation Ric Flair, will be Kurt Angle going one on one with Triple H, for a shot at the Undisputed champion Chris Jericho, and get this Tazz. Jericho will be the special guest referee for the match tonight.
Tazz - You know Cole summerts gotta go down here, I mean Triple H and Kurt hate each other, but Jericho, well Jericho probably couldn't give a damn who he fights at Mania, so you gotta wonder what part he will play in the match, will he call it down the middle, side with Kurt or side with Triple H, we just don't know.
Ambush
Glass Shatters
The music of Stone Cold Steve Austin hits out over the PA system sending the crowd wild. The whole arena cheers as Austin makes his way down to the ring with a serious look about him.
Austin dressed in jeans and a 3:16 t-shirt, rolls into the ring and demands a mic be handed to him.
Austin - I gotta get summert of my chest, you see o'le Stone Cold is a bit pissed. You wanna know why im pissed, good I'll tell you why. Im pissed because of them sun bitches the nWo. They walk in here thinking they can run the damn show, thinking they call walk all over Stone Colds ass, well I gotta some news for the damn nWo.................
n............W.....................O
Before Austin can get any more word's out the music of the nWo hits out over the PA system. Scott Hall appears on the stage area, he doesn't stop there though as he arrogantly struts to the ring, pointing and yelling at Austin.
Austin throws the mic out of the ring over the top rope, calling for Hall to get in the ring. Scott Hall slowly walks up ring steps and enters the ring. He has a mic sticking out the front of his jeans, he pulls it out and puts it too his mouth. Still looking at Austin.
Hall - Hey..........
Before Hall can say a word more Austin charges him down and begins punching away at him. Austin lets Hall up only to carry on striking at him with right hooks that end up backing him into the corner. Hall backed in the corner pokes Austin in the eyes and then nails him with a swinging right, and then another, and then...... Austin blocks and unleashes a barrage of rights on Hall once again backing him into a corner, and then stomps a mudhole in his ass.
Nash appears through the crowd on the left side of the ring, as Hogan appears on the right hand side. Both men climb the barriers as Austin watches on, looking left from right, waiting for one of them to enter the ring.
Hall crawls to the mic he dropped and grabs hold of it, he gets to his feet and strikes it across the back of Austin's head.
Austin drops to the floor, Hall stands over him and smirks he then proceeds by stomping away at him as Hogan and Nash cheer him on, as they enter the ring. Hogan and Nash pick Austin up and hold him on either side as Hall takes shots at him with the microphone. Hall tells them to let go of him, they do and he kicks him to the mid section and follows up with a Stunner.
Austin drops to the floor as the nWo stand over his fallen body and taunt him. Hall spits at Austin, then he grabs his feet and drags him over the a ring post, Hall slides to the outside still holding onto Austin's feet, Hall takes Austin's his right leg pulls it out and then swings it back in bashing it of the ring post.
Austin screams out in agony as Hall swings his leg off the post for a second time. Hall walks away from Austin and goes for a chair. He takes the chair and swings it straight over Austin's right leg. Hogan un-straps his leather belt as Nash pulls Austin back into the centre of the ring, Hall slides into the ring armed with the steel chair.
Hogan whips the belt of Austin's back and then orders Nash to pick him up, Hall looks set as if he will hit Austin with the chair.

The save
The Rocks music plays out over the PA system as he comes sprinting to the ring armed with a steel chair. Hogan, Hall and Nash quickly exit the ring as The Rock slides in, Austin is down and hurt, Hogan Hall and Nash look on from the outside calling out at The Rock, Hall climbs to the apron, but quickly jumps back down as The Rock charges over and swings the chair at him, but misses and gets the ropes instead.
Rock just stares down at the nWo from the ring, they make there way around the ring and towards the ramp way, all three men taunt The Rock as he carries on looking at them, WWF officials and medical staff come running past the nWo on the ramp way and enter the ring to attend to Austin.
The nWo just laugh away, and then turn their backs on The Rock, The Rock sees the mic on the ring and picks it up.
Rock - So this is the the nWo, the great New World Order that changed the face of professional wrestling. This the way you, BOYZ do business then, well you gotta get on thing straight, know one, and The Rock means Know one is gonna take this horse crap from you three.
You might have gotten away with it in Atlanta, you might have been the poison that killed WCW. But you jabronis better get this one thing straight.
In the WWF you answer to US, we don't answer to you, you see nWo it all ends tonight, the sneak attacks, the spray paint, the two on ones the three on ones, it all ends tonight.
And the ass whooping that The Rock's gonna give you begins tonight. Im gonna take my boot, hell no, im gonna take three spray cans, shine them up real nice, turn them sideways, and STICK EM STRAIGHT UP ALL YOUR CANDY ASSES.
Hogan, Hall and Nash just look at The Rock in anger and then casually walk away up the ramp and head of behind the curtain.
The medical staff attend to Austin.and try to get him onto a stretcher, but he refuses and tries to roll out the ring and stand up on his own. The Rock goes to the outside and helps him walk up the ramp way as the medical staff follow closely behind.
Cole - The damn nWo did again Tazz, there nothing but cowards, they attacked Austin like a pack of wolves. Just a good thing that The Rock came down when he did.
Tazz - Maybe a little bit too late may I add there Cole, but yeah your right, had The Rock not shown up who knows how far the nWo might have gone.
Cole - Well as we move along up next is Jazz and Lita one on one.
Jazz vs Lita
WWF Womens Championship match
The first women announced out by Lillian Garcia is Lita, Lita receives a good reaction as she runs down the ramp and slides into the ring.
The Womens champion Jazz is next out, she walks to the ring slowly with the title slung over her shoulder, she shows little emotion apart from the odd shouting to a fan.
End of match
Lita whips Jazz of the ropes and runs at her with a clothesline, but Jazz ducks it as Lita lands on the canvas. Lita staggers to her feet as Jazz stalks her, and nails her with a bitch slap, oh a mean and tough slap across the mouth of Lita, she gives Lita another and then a third. Lita is down and hurt but Jazz doesn't let up and stomps away at her, the ref tries to get in and see if Lita is ok. But Jazz won't let him and shoves him away.
The ref tries again but Jazz just turns a round and slaps him. The ref calls for the bell, but Jazz carries on attacking Lita. She picks Lita up and rams he head of the turnbuckle and then as she lands on the mat, stomps away at her even more. The ref calls for assistance as he tries to pull Jazz off Lita.
Lita is attended to as Jazz takes her title and walks off up the ramp way looking pleased with herself

Cole - Jazz there going overboard in my opinion, she dominated Lita, and there was no need for her to do what she did.
Tazz - Quite right Cole, but hey who's gonna stop her, I mean if you want to Cole go right ahead.
Cole - Err no thanks Tazz, im fine in one piece thanks. Up next the number one contenders for the tag team titles, the APA, take on the young and charismatic Hardy Boyz.
APA vs Hardyz
Matt and Jeff are out first, they receive a great reception as they are announced by Lilian Garcia. The APA are next out, wearing jeans and an APA t-shirt they command presence as they enter the ring.
End of match
Matt Hardy and Bradshaw the legal men in battle away, Bradshaw whips Matt off the ropes and as he comes back scoops him up and nails a fall-away slam.
Bradshaw goes for the pin, 1...2.... but Jeff Hardy comes flying of the top with a Swanton Bomb on Bradshaw breaking up the pin fall.
Faarooq comes running in and clotheslines Jeff Hardy over the top ropes, Faarooq rolls to the outside and whips Jeff Hardy into the steps.
Back in the ring, Matt Hardy gets to his feet, and so does Bradshaw with his back to Matt Hardy rather groggily, Matt Hardy rolls him up, and as the ref counts takes ahold of the ropes. 1......2........3
Matt Hardy pins Bradshaw with a roll up pin, and an assist from the ring ropes.
Matt Hardy rolls to the outside as Faarooq rolls in. Bradshaw and Faarooq shout at the Hardy Boyz.
Just as they do, they Dudley Boyz come out of the crowd and roll into the ring attacking the APA from behind. The Dudley Boyz beat away on the APA, Matt and Jeff Hardy take one look into the ring, but decide against doing anything, and walk away of up the ramp leaving the Acolytes alone with the Dudley Boyz.
D- Von throw Bradshaw to the outside of the ring, Bubba Ray whips Faarooq of the ropes and the Dudleyz lay him out with a 3D.
Bubba and Devon roll out the ring and head up the ramp towards the back.

Cole - Well somewhat of an upset there, Matt Hardy pinning Bradshaw. And then we get those damn Dudley's coming down and attacking the APA.
Tazz - Cole you know what we just saw, the Hardy Boyz pinning the number one contenders, the APA. So does that mean the Hardyz are eligible for a shot too.
Cole - Well no Tazz, cause it wasn't a number one contender match, plus Matt Hardy did cheat. And you would have thought the Hardyz would have give Bradshaw and Faarooq a hand when the Dudleyz attacked.
Tazz- Well Cole the Dudleyz aren't the Hardy Boyz problem.
No Chance thats just what ya got
Cole - What the, is that Vince McMahon's music, what the hell does he want.
Tazz - Careful now Cole, he is still half your boss.
Cole - Yeah don't remind me.
Flair vs McMahon
Vince McMahon appears on the stage way, microphone in hand a wide smile across his face, he power struts down to the ring, looking very pleased with himself.
Vince McMahon enters the ring, still smiling then he sets his eyes upon the fans and the smile fades and turns into a snarl.
Vince - Look at you all, just look at you, you people disgust me, you are vile human beings, I might even be tempted to go as far as saying, you are almost as vile as RIC FLAIR.
The crowd lets out a Whoo at the mention of Ric Flair.
But im not even that mean, my heart won't let we say it. Ha ha hell yes it will, you people are as vile as Ric Flair, see I said it, that wasn't so hard.
Vince McMahon's statement is met with a chorus of boos
Shut up you moron's, im Vince McMahon damn it and no on boos me.
Anyway where was I.Ah yes
Speaking of the nature boy. I just got three letters for him, n.........w............o, you fans may hate me for it, and well quite frankly I don't give a damn if you do, but one person you can blame, and that's Ric Flair.
You see Mr Flair had his chance, all he had to do was hand me back my 50% of the World Wrestling Federation, and the nWo would never have been brought in.
You see, now all hell is going to break loose, they destroyed the WCW, and they will destroy Ric Flair. They will make the life's of Flair and the World Wrestling Federation superstars a living hell, they are all now involved in a nightmare, a nightmare that some of the wrestlers have been involved in before, in WCW. A nightmare that they thought they would never have to live again, but now they do, and for that, they have one man to thank, and that man is Ric Flair.
When the wrestlers go back home to their girlfriends, wife's and family's, and they say "Hunny how was your day" and they respond with "It was hell, I want to quit, the nWo are back and they are killing us all, one by one they are killing us off". They can think back and thank Ric Flair.
When the girlfriends and wife's, and family's visit the superstars in hospital, and they ask them "What happened to you, you are a mess" and they respond with "the nWo found me and beat me, I can't go on anymore, I want to quit." They can look back and thank Ric Flair.
Vince McMahon's head drops a little and an evil smirk comes across his face.
And when the girlfriends, and wife's, and family's find the nWo stalking them and haunting them at their own homes, they can all look back, and thank Ric Flair.
Hell if Steve Austin is looking for someone to blame for his attack earlier on, don't blame the nWo, blame Ric Flair. Hell they were just getting the job done, and Steve Austin just happened to be in the way. And dare I say, he happened to be in the way, just like The Rock may find he's in the way, a bit latter on. But you'll all see what I mean in a short while.
All this could end, the beatings, the nightmare, it could all end, and it is only going to get worse, that I can promise you. It could all end if only Ric Flair would do the right thing and hand over his 50% share to me.
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ric Flair's music hits out over the PA system, the crowd stand in their feet awaiting the arrival of the "Nature Boy."
Flair makes his way down to the ring, also with a microphone in his hand, he has a serious look about his face, no whooing or strutting, just an angry, hungry face.
Flair gets right in Vince McMahon's face as he begins to yell at him
Flair - LISTEN to me McMahon, don't you dare, don't you even dare to try and pin the nWo on me. You brought in the nWo, you was the one to phone Hulk Hogan, and Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. You was the one to offer them a contract in the WWF, you are the one responsible for the "nightmare"
McMahon you want my 50%, tough, cause you ain't getting it.
The crowd cheer and clap at the announcement
Im here to Stay Vince, and you think the nWo will drive me out, then you underestimate me buddy. I've seen the nWo before, I've battled Hogan, Hall and Nash all over the country before, and no matter if it was me on my own, or me with the Horsemen.
I always stood tall, I always fought hard McMahon and I never backed down. Just like now, I will not back down.
Vince - Well Flair you are a very foolish man. Hell like you say you've battled the nWo all over the country, and in WCW may I add. And ermm well look what happened there. You know what they are capable off, you know just how dangerous and vicious they are, you know what happened to Austin was just a starter you know it will only get worse. Flair be it all on your conscious. All you gotta do Flair is hand me back my 50%.
Flair - McMahon I got just two things to say to ya. " SCREW YOU"
Flair goes to leave the ring after dropping the microphone, he is under the ropes when McMahon speaks.
Vince - Oh and Flair, if you see The Rock on your way out, be sure to tell him to be careful, you never know what accidents can happen in a backstage environment like ours. Hell the whole place is an accident waiting to happen, just like Steve Austin was an accident waiting to happen.
Flair backs him self up and grabs ahold of the mic he dropped and with a furious tone speaks back to Vince.
Flair - Dammit McMahon if anything happens to The Rock, I'll personally make sure you are dealt with, I will kick your ass from one end of the arena to the other.
Vince - How appropriate you want to take care of me, just like your actions took care of Steve Austin, and just like your actions will take care of The Rock.
Flair - What happened to Austin was not my fault McMahon and you know it, your the one who set this whole thing up, and your the one who should take the blame. Your the one who should have all this on his conscious not me.
Vince - But Ric, thats just the problem, I don't have a conscious, now if you'll excuse me I've got some very urgent business to attend to.
No chance in hell plays out over the arena PA system, as McMahon drops the mic and pats Ric Flair on the shoulder as he makes his way out of the ring, Flair looks dumbfounded and watches Vince leave the ring with a look of disbelief on his face.
Vince power struts up the ramp and off to the back without looking back to the ring, on the titontron you can see him smiling, almost gloating.

Cole - You know what Tazz, Vince McMahon can kiss my....
Tazz - Wow, Wow there Cole. you wanna lose ya job. I mean I suppose I'd get a better broadcast partner. But then who would I have to make me the tea in the morning.
Cole - Yeah yeah Tazz very funny, I just can't belive Mr McMahon would go about this whole thing and blame Ric Flair for it, Mr. McMahon was the one to bring in the nWo, and he's the one who's letting them run riot, yet he blames Flair for all this, he thinks he's done nothing wrong.
Tazz - Cole, this is Vince McMahon your talking about, he can do what the hel he likes, hey if Vince thinks he's doing nothing wrong then who are we to argue. I mean after all, Ric Flair knows what he's got to do to get the nWo of his back.
Cole - That's just the thing though Tazz, it's not just Ric Flair's back there on, sooner or latter they will affect everyone in the WWF, so far it's just been Austin and Flair they've targeted, and now maybe the The Rock, but it will be all of us, mark my words Tazz.
Tazz - Well personally I think your getting way ahead of ya self, don't worry Cole I'll take care of ya, me and Vince were close, you know, he rubs my back, I rub his.
Cole - Yeah right Tazz. Anyway the next match up will be William Regal and Christian teaming up, to take on Edge and Diamond Dallas Page.
Tazz - Oh hey Cole, just remember, "Thats not a bad thing, thats a good thing"
Cole - Oh please don't remind me.
Tazz - Ha, you not a fan of DDP'S spiritually way's.
Cole - Well it doesn't matter about me, but I know of at least one person who isn't keen and that's Christian.
Regal/Christian interview
The camera cuts to the back where William Regal and Christian are standing by with Kevin Kelly.
Kelly - Mr Regal and Christian over the past few weeks you've both had encounters with Edge and DDP, William both you and Edge have had many battles for the Intercontinental Championship, and Christian you with Page, in well, in him trying to stop your tantrums as such and turn you into a winner. Your thoughts please.
Regal - Yes my good man, me and that bumbling idiot Edge have had many fights lately over my Intercontinental championship.
Christian - Hey Willy look, guess who am I
Christian has a wide goofy smile across his face, making sure he shows all his teeth off. Regal looks a tad annoyed at being interrupted but looks and smiles.
Regal - Ah yes very good, your that, that bafoon DDP.
Christian - (still smiling) And you know what that is.
Regal - No what is it. ( Regal sounding annoyed)
Christian - Thats not a bad thing, it's a good thing.
Regal - Indeed it is. (Regal shakes his head, as Christian carries on pulling goofy smiles, keeping himself occupied.)
As I was saying, me and Edge have been fighting over my title lately and each time lets just say he's felt the power of my punch.
Kelly - You mean the brass Knuckles
Regal looks at Kevin Kelly in disgust.
Regal - I have no idea what you are talking about, you stupid idiot. As for that street urchin Edge I will give him a bloody good hiding any day of the week. At No way out I beat him and again tonight I will beat him and he may very well once again feel the power of my punch.
Regal looks over at Christian and mutters "Fool" to himself before walking of, Christian not realising straight away he's gone, as he carries son pulling DDP like smiles.

Regal goes down for the cover 1.....2......3
Regal carries on doing a beat down, Edge comes running in and goes to tackle Regal, but Regal hits the knucks of his forehead, sending him crashing to the mat. Christian rolls back into the ring and stomps away on Page, before being instructed by Regal to lift Edge up. He does so and Regal for a second time strikes the brass knuckles against the forehead of Edge.
Edge drops to the floor, blood begins to come from his forehead.
DDP gets to his feet and strikes Regal, but Christian is equal to the attack and blindsides him, Regal gets up and hits him with the Knuckles, Page falls into Christian who props him up and then nails him with an Unprettier.

The camera cuts to the back, we are taken inside the dressing room of the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world, Chris Jericho.
Jericho is a sitting down on the sofa, admiring over his title, and shining it up. A knock at the door is heard, Jericho asks "Who is It"
It's me Chris, Stephanie McMahon.
Jericho -Yeah what ya what
Steph - Can I come on for a moment, I want to talk to you..
Without waiting for an answer Stephanie open the door and walks straight in.
Jericho - Yeah sure why not. (Jericho says sarcastically) What you want, can't you see im busy with MY title.
Steph - You know something Chris, I've always admired you, your long locks of hair, your Rock and Roll life style, and well to be honest, and ermm don't tell Kurt this, I sometimes get a little jealous when I see you with other women.
Jericho - Oh really, Steph I never knew, but ermm maybe there's something we could do about your jealousy.
Jericho pulls at Steph's arm to bring her onto the sofa, she looks a little taken back.
Steph - Well ermm Chris, yeah maybe there is.
Stephanie tried to adjust herself to a seating position on the sofa.
Steph - But you see, I just can't bring myself to do it, you well you know cheat on Kurt, I'd feel so guilty.
Steph pulls the puppy dog eyes look at Jericho
Jericho - Hey so, he'll get over it, he's an Olympic gold medallist, he'll pull in plenty of chicks once you ditch him.
Steph looks a little annoyed at the thought of Kurt and other women.
Steph - Yeah but even so, if there was something I could do, well we could do, to make it a bit less painful for him.
Jericho - Yeah, what you got in mind.
Steph - Well you know how tonight your the special guest referee for the his match against Triple H, how about if you well, fix the match.
Stephanie starts playing with Jericho's hair and looks at him seductaviley
Jericho - What so he wins, and the stupid ass clown has to face me at Wrestlemania......... Yeah and then I could kick his ass, and we could really rub it in his face when I beat him, you could pretend to be on his side, you know keep him sweet until Mania, then wham you nail his Olympic ass and then I retain my title.
Steph - So we got a deal, you'll fix the match tonight.
Steph had a look of excitement come across her face.
Jericho - Yeah and then me and you baby, we got all the time we need. You know we could always seal the deal if you know what I mean.
Steph turns her head away, and looks a little disgusted.
Steph - Well ermm not now Chris I've gotta go find the little girl's room, and then well, I better get back to Kurt otherwise he'll star to get suspicious
Jericho - Okie my little hunny buns.
Steph rather quickly gets up of the sofa and heads for the door, half heartedly blowing Jericho a kiss on the way out
As she leaves leaves Jericho mutters to himself, " stupid ho, what she think I am, im the King of the world damn it, I got me plenty of women lined up".
The camera follows Steph to outside of the room where she is met by Kurt Angle.
Kurt - Well then, did he fall for it.
Steph - Yeah Hook, Line and Sinker. He was totally gross, he even called me hunny buns.
Kurt - Hunny buns, I'll go in there and give him hunny buns.
Steph - No Kurt you can't.We got our self's a Wrestlemania title shot in the bag. Oh it's true it's true.

Thats not a bad thing....... It's a good thing
The camera cuts to the corridors, where one of the superstars is throwing things around in anger, some WWF officials are trying to calm him down.
But he just shoves them away.
official - Look Page this isn't gonna help, why don't you go talk to Flair he's one half owner, maybe he could help you out.
Page just grabs the nearest thing and throws it at the official narrowly missing him, the nearest thing being a led pipe, the official storms off.
Another voice calls out to him, "Page, what the hell you doing, this isn't helping matters".
DDP stops what he's doing and turns around, to see Kimberly Page.
DDP - Kim, what you doing here. I thought you were away on business. Not that, thats a bad thing, in-fact it's a good thing.
(Page then pulls one of his cheesy smiles)
Kim - OK for a start Page, you can wipe that stupid smile of ya face, and stop saying that, well whatever it is you say.
Page - That's not a ..........
Kim - Yes that, stop saying that, Page this isn't you, this isn't my husband Diamond Dallas Page, former Heavyweight champion of the word. Your some new goofy, DDP that well to be honest no one likes, Page you gotta get back to your normal self. You need to be the Diamond Ass Cutting husband I married.
Page drops his head, and then looks up smiling at his wife, Kimberly Page.
Page - What you want me to do Kim. Change just like that, I can't Kim. Im stuck in this mode, I've tried to be me, I've tried to be the old Diamond Dallas Page. I want to be the old DDP.

HHH vs Kurt
Special Guest Referee - Chris Jericho
Lilian in the middle of the ring, announces the special guest referee as the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, Chris Jericho.

Before entering the ring he hands the title over to the ring crew to look after.
The fireworks go off signalling the arrival of Kurt Angle, Angle makes his way from the top of the ramp accompanied by Stephanie McMahon. Steph give Jericho a little flirty smile.
Triple H's music echos all around the arena, sounding the crowd wild as The Game appears on the ramp way, he heads down to the ring and climbs the apron, he drinks out of his bottle and as the light shines on him spits water up into the air.
End of match
Triple H whips Angle of the ropes and as he comes back nails him with a running knee strike, he goes down for the pin 1................................... kick out, Jericho with a slow deliberate count. Triple H is furious, he shoves Jericho away, Jericho warns him he will call for the bell.
Jericho takes a side glance at Stephanie McMahon and gives her a wink, she follows up with a smile, then when he's not looking gives him a look of disgust.
Kurt and Triple H slug it out in the middle of the ring, right followed by left then by right, each man matching the other for punches. Kurt takes the advantage with a deliberate low blow. Jericho quickly looks to the floor as to make out her saw nothing. Kurt stomps away at Triple H and then signals for the Ankle Lock as he pulls down the straps. Kurt goes for the ankle, but Triple H counters it and kicks him out of the ring.
Angle drops to the outside where he bashes the floor, Stephanie comes over to him and hands him a chair, he slides into the middle of the ring, chair in hand. Jericho turns around to face the crowd as Kurt goes to swing the chair at Triple H. Hunter manages to get a kick into the mid section of Kurt before he can swing the chair. Kurt drops the chair as Triple H nails him with a right knocking him to the floor.
Triple H sees the chair and picks it up, Jericho turns around and sees Hunter with it. He quickly comes over and again threatens to call for the bell. Jericho snatches the chair of him and props it up in the corner of the ring, and then sits down on it.
Kurt rolls into the ring and begins to argue with Jericho, he says he should have called for the DQ because Triple H had the chair, Jericho shoves him away and says get on with the match. Kurt looks angry and squares up to Jericho, but Triple H comes in and attacks Kurt from behind.
Triple H slugs at Kurt , Stephanie McMahon jumps up on the ring apron, Triple H goes over to her and grabs her by the hair. Kurt comes in and hits a low blow and then with an ANGLE SLAM takes Triple H down.
Kurt smirks as he looks down over Triple H. Kurt goes over to Jericho and pushes him off the chair before grabbing it. Kurt makes his way over to Hunter and slams the chair down over his back. Kurt puts his foot on Triple H with an arrogant pin and demands Jericho come over and make the count.
Jericho points to himself and says "me," Kurt responds with "yeah ya freakin moron, who else"
Jericho lets out a little laugh and with a shrug if the shoulders says "ok". He goes across as Stephanie McMahon is banging the ring apron in anticipation. Jericho drops down and counts the 1.................2............ and then hits Kurt with a low blow.
Stephanie screams at Jericho, he just looks at her and blows her a kiss. Kurt and Triple H both stagger to their feet, Triple H manages to get their first and kicks Kurt in the mid section and follows up with a PEDIGREE, he makes the cover and Jericho makes the count 1............2........3

Jericho springs to his feet and attacks Kurt, he grabs ahold of him and throws him out of the ring. Jericho grabs a chair and rolls to the outside. He swings the chair at Kurt but Kurt manages to jump out of the way. Triple H comes out to the fight and nails Jericho in the back.

Tazz - Yeah and looks who's behind him.
Car attack
The Rock is at his car, his back to the camera. The Rock opens up the door, when all of a sudden he it struck from behind. Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash come into view.
Hollywood - Well, well boys, look what we got here, it's The Peoples Champ, The Rock.
Nash - You know Hollywood, I seem to recall something about The Rock whooping all are candy Asses/
Hall - You know what, we should beat his ass like we did that punks Steve Austin.
Hollywood - Kev, Scott you are both absolutely right.
The Rock tries to get to his feet but is beat down by all three men. Hollywood takes of his leather strap and begins whipping The Rock with it. Hogan carries on whipping The Rock as he gets to his feet and begins to stagger around his car, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall cheer on Hogan.
Hogan lowers his arm and begins to but his belt back on as Scott Hall moves in and lands a punch on The Rock knocking him against the bonnet of his car.
Hall grabs The Rock and slams his head down on the bonnet, Nash then moves in and takes The Rock by the head and also slams him of the bonnet. The Rock slides of the bonnet of the car and drops down to the floor. Hogan stomps away on him as Scot Hall goes into the drives seat of the car and begins to rev up the engine.
Nash - Wow Wow there buddy, take it easy, we just wanna give him a little message thats all, not completely mutilate him.
Hall - Yeah sure thing big Sexy, don't know what come over me, when I us beating him down, all I see is me kicking that punk Austin's ass.
Hogan - Come on guys, lets finish the job, I want to teach the Rock a lesson about respecting the nWo. Big Sexy what you say about climbing on top of the car, and giving are friend here a ride he won't forget in a hurry.
Nash - Sure thing Boss.
Nash pulls The Rock up from of the ground, who immediately strikes a punch against Nash, Hogan comes in but The Rock nails him with a right, and then a second, but is stopped from delivering a third as Scott Hall attacks him from behind.
Nash climbs up on the bonnet, as Hogan and Hall feed him The Rock. Nash pulls up the Rock between his legs and lifts him high into the air, Nash slams the Rock down onto the car roof with a JACKNIFE Power bomb
Hollywood - come on boys job done, Kev you been working out man, cause that was one mean Jackknife.

Fantastic match against Madrid, still can't belive we knocked them out. The poor season we've had seems worthwhile just for the fact we beat REAL MADRID
Lets hope we carry on the good form, and don't end up doing what we did at Blackburn when we beat Madrid last. Livepool will be a tough game, but given on tonight's performance I'm sure we can beat them.
And Hleb is the man, for me he's been great all season and tonight he was Awsome, as was Henry but thats expected

Raw 18th February 2002
Fireworks set of around the ramp stage of the arena, the camera pans around the audience to see the attending crowd on its feet, applading and screaming over the top of the fireworks.
Some fans have signs in the crowd, anti- nWo and pro nWo signs, nWo 4 Life and nWo sucks are the most common amongst the rowdy WF crowd.
The camera pans to the announcers desk with a glum looking Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.
JR - Fans welcome, welcome to Raw.Im Jim Ross with Jerry Lawler. As you can tell it's not one of my most exciting moments to be announcing Raw, not while they are here.
King - JR I know the feeling, it's hard to belive that there here, that the nWo are really here in the World Wrestling Federation.
JR- Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, all former employees of the WWF, they all made successful carrers for them selfs here in the WWF, and now there back to destroy the very company that made them.
Last night they tried to suck all the fans in, including you King, with that speech at the begining of the No Way Out broadcast, but by the end of the night they showed us their true colours, by attacking and costing Steve Austin the world title.
King - Yeah and then as if that wasn't enough they continued to beat down on Austin, and even branded him with the nWo logo.
JR - It was a vile act King, and I hope they pay for it, I hope Austin whips some nWo ass and shows them were not the pushovers that WCW were.
King - Yeah but you know something JR, all Flair had to do was step down and we wouldn't have this problem. I blame him for this mess.
n....................w.........................o
The Music of the nWo blasts out over the arena, fans turn in antcipation at seeing the arrival of Hogan, Hall and Nash on Raw. The three men appear onto the top of the stage to a chrous of boo's. they also get some pops, all attired in black jeans and nWo t-shirts. Hogan starts to play "air guitar" as Hall and Nash point to him smiling and lauging.
Hogan, Hall and Nash slowly make their way down to the ring trashing and mocking fan's along the way.
As soon as they enter the ring the music stops and Hogan is handed a mic. Hall and Nash stand on either side to Hollywood Hogan.
Hollywood Hogan - You guys better shut up else me and the boys will come down there and beat you all, just like we did that piss ant Steve Austin last night.
The crowd boos heavily, as Hall and Nash make threats to enter the crowd.
You see last night me and the boys let the WWF know who we are, we let the WWF know they can't mess with the nWo, no one is gonna stop us, not your hero Steve Austin, not the Rock and sure as hell not The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
The nWo answers to no one, well maybe an exception for one man, and that man is Vince McMahon. You see he drafted us in to do a job, and that job is to get his company back. And we will stop at nothing till we get the job done, last night we sent a message to Ric Flair. Hand over the 50% you own, or hell will break loose.
Hall asks Hogan for the mic.
Hall - Hey Yo. (The crowd give a little pop)
We don't want no real trouble, all we want is to get the job done for are friend, are buddy, Vince McMahon. Austin, last night was just a message for us to send, nothing personal.
Hall gives a little smirk, too show his inceceraty.
Oh hey rattlesnake, by the way did you like my little Stunner, Ha I thourght it was a nice touch to drive the message home.
Hall and Nash and Hogan laugh out at Hall's statement
But like I said we don't want no trouble, just come to get the job done, it's nothing personal to the boys in the back, but you know, if need be we will be forced to let hell loose, but you can't blame us for that. Nah you can blame Ric Flair for that.
The Camera cuts to a double feed, one of the ring, and one of the backstage, where Ric Flair is watching on from a monitor. The double feed shows up on the titontron.
Back in the ring Nash draws attention to the titontron and takes the mic from Hall.
Nash - Wow, Wow boys look, its the Nature Boy himeself. Hey Ric, buddy, pal, hows it going, long time no see. I err can't help but see you look a little worried up there Ric, nothing to do with us I hope, cause like Scott said, were not here to be personal, hell we don't want enemies, we just want to get the job done.
And yeah sure, the job may be to take you out and get your 50% back to Vince, but like we say, nothing personal.
The camera cuts back to Flair, who just shakes his head, muttering "yeah sure, sure"
Nash - Hey boys, I dont think Ric belives me. Now aint that a damn shame, cause you know Ric, we were hoping you'd come have a beer with us, you know maybe we could talk this thing over without resulting to kicking YOUR ASS.
Flair takes a jump back, and then smiles saying "you do that boys, you do that".
The crowd let out a pop as Steve Austin is seen in the background walking towards, and then past Ric Flair. Flair shouts over to Austin.
Flair - Where you going Steve, Steve. Don't think about going to that ring, Steve come back here.
Austin walks out of sight without muttering a word or even looking at Flair. Flair sighs to himself and mutters "oh man, not know"
The camera goes back to one feed and takes us into the ring with the nWo. The nWo look at each other and begin a huddle confering what to do next at the expected arrival of Austin.
GLASS SHATTERS
The crowd gives out a massive pop
Austin begins walking down the ramp, the nWo members Hogan, Hall and Nash exit the ring and leave the ringside area via the railings heading off into the crowd. Hogan, Hall and Nash look at Austin and begin mocking him, waving at him as they stroll of through the crowd and out of sight towards the back.
Austin waits a moment, as he soaks up the crowd chanting his name, before leaving the ring and following the tracks of the nWo much to the approval of the crowd.

Taker - Flair, we need to get one thing straight, around here, no one disrespects me, espcially not you.
Taker puts the boots into Flair as he talks down to him.
Last night was the last straw, last night you disrespected me for the very last time. You dare cost me my match with the Rock, bet you thourght you was good didn't you,huh, hiting me with that led pipe. You damn son of a bitch.
Taker pics Flair up of the ground and lands a big swinging punch sending "The Nature Boy" crashing into the wall, Flair tries to fight back but Taker just beats him down, before security come charging in and drag Taker away from Flair.
Taker - Flair you will fight me at Wrestlemania, no matter how much you think you don't want to, you know you have to. You will face me old man.
The security help Flair to his feet, now bleeding from his forehead, he holds his hand over his head as the security guards keep him from falling back on the floor.
Flair- Get him out of here, I want him out of my building, I want him gone, get rid of him,and make sure he stays out.
Security escort Undertaker away from the scene, Taker laughs as he's led away shouting back at Flair "You and me at Mania"

Title Shot
We are taken to the back into the staff room of Ric Flair. Inside is a worse for ware Flair, with a plaster across his head, standing between Triple H and Kurt Angle, both are verbally bashing each other in a heated confrontation with Stephanie McMahon egging on Kurt.
Kurt - Face it Hunter it's over, your Wrestlemania dream is nothing more than a fantasy now. I got the pinfall last night not you, I got the one.. two... three, not you. AND I'm the one going to Wrestlemania to face Chris Jericho for the Undisputed World title. Oh it's true it's true.
Triple H - You know what's true KURT, YOU WANNA KNOW WHATS TRUE. I'LL tell you whats true, you and that damn whore over there screwed me last night, it was never a one on one match it was a damn two on one, and you know it.
You look me in the eyes Kurt, get your Olympic medal ass over here and look me damn straight in the eyes and tell me, you can be beat me.
Flair steps back as Kurt gets in Hunter's face, both men now eye to eye, both Stephanie and Ric lookin on anxiously.
Kurt - One Hunter, Stephanie McMahon is not a whore, she is the most loving kind hearted women I've ever met, and just becuase you couldn't satisfy her where it counts, doesn't maker her a whore. Cause we all know what kind of man, or should I say boy you are.
And two, I can beat your ass any day of the week, any time, any place. But remeber Hunter it doesn't matter anymore, cause I beat you last night, and I'm the one going to Wrestlemania to win the gold, not you.
Hunter has a look of anger in his eyes and shoves Kurt to the floor. Kurt gets straight to his feet and goes for Hunter, but Ric Flair gets in the way and holds him off.
Flair - Hey, Hey I got enough on my plate wihtout you two adding to it. You know what, I'm gonna put and end to this right now. Cause I know, I just KNOW you two aren't gonna let this one go. Kurt last night you won, but you didn't win fairly, as Hunter said you and that..... I mean you and Stephanie screwed him out of the match. The referees participation last night was biased and breaks every code in the manual, so as far as im concerned and as far as the WWF history books are concerned. Last nights match is now void, and never took place.
Angle and Steph begin to go irate shouting and screaming in Flair's face. Hunter begins to smile as he see's Angle going mad.
Steph - You can't do this Flair, you can't screw me and Kurt out of the title, no way, im not letting you do this Flair.
Flair - Who the hell do you think you are, to tell me The Nature Boy, what I can and Can not do. Since last nights match is void and in my eyes never took place, we have no number one contender. So tonight we are going to have a rematch, it's going to be "The Olympic gold meadilst" Kurt Angle, going one on one with "The Game" Triple H, for the shot at Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Oh and by the way, Stephanie, you are banned from ringside.
Now get the hell out of my office all of you.
Hunter gets in Kurts face one last time before he leaves the room, Steph leans into Kurt still looking furious.
Steph - Kurt, how about you go have a word with the nWo, you know seeing as that they are doing a favour for one McMahon, I fugure they might consider doing a favour for two, espcially if it means outdoing Flair.
Steph and Kurt both have beaming smiles across their face's they give Flair one last look before leaving the room. A sudden commotion is heard and Flair rushes out of his room muttering to himself " God damn it Hunter, Angle"
100%
Warpath
Hunter is well out of sight, and Angle and Steph are slowly walking away seemingly plotting somethig, they are in private conversation with each other making sure no one else can hear them.
Flair looks around to find the source of the commotion, only to see Steve Austin trashing up the backstgae area as he walks alond the corridors. Flair chases after his.
Flair - Steve, Steve, hold on a sec there Steve.
Austin - Before you being flapping ya damn gums, let me tell ya this, Im gonna hunt down the damn nWo and Im gonna give them a damn ass whipping. And im so sorry if Stone Cold is making a little too much noise in hunting down the nWo, but as you can probably tell, im one pissed of Rattlesnake.
Flair - Oh god, Steve I know ok, I know your pissed, hell what they did to you last night was crap, they screwed you out of the title, I know that, and I'll make sure they pay for it Steve. The nWo will be dealt with and punished.
Austin - You damn right they'll be dealt with and punished, as soon as I get my damn hands on the son bitches.
Flair - No Steve, thats not gonna happen.
Austin - What the hell you mean thats not gonna happen, you some kind of nWo fan, something you wanna tell us all Flair. Hell if I remeber rightly the reason the nWo are here in World Wrestling Federation is down to you.
Flair - Listen to me Austin, I don't like them being here one bit more than you, but the fact is they are here and we gotta deal with it, but not like this, not with you chasing them down in the corridors, causing all hell. The last thing we need is a riot backstage.
Austin - Hell a riot, a funfare, a bouncy castle, I couldn't give a crap what happens backstage, as long as Stone Cold gets his hands on the nWo, i'll be happy, now if you'll excuse me, i've got some ass whooping to do.
Flair - Ok, ok Steve I don't want to do this buddy, but your leaving me no choice. You need to leave the building, and im not asking you im telling you.
Austin - Ha, you serious. After what they did to me, after they cost me the damn Undisputed world title and your throwing me out the building.
Flair - Steve go now, if you don't i'll have no choice but to suspend you without pay. I can't have you aggravating the nWo anymore than what they already are. I need you too stay well alone from them, just untill I calm the situation down, and then there all yours. But not like this, Steve, im not having you fighting all over the place, I want some law and order.
Austin - You know what Flair, I never thought ole Stone Cold would live to see the day when Ric Flair became a coward. You disgust me, you yellow belly son of a bitch.
Austin walks away from Flair cussing him. Austin is soon joined by security as they begin to escort him out of the arena. He shoves some of them away as they try to take hold of him. Flair just puts his hands over his head and lets out a moan of agravation.

JR - Oh what a match, finaly maybe Triple H will get his fair shot. Kurt Angle vs Triple H, the winner goes to Wrestlemania to face the Undisputed champion of the world Chris Jericho. And no Stephanie McMahon to poke her nose in.
King - Yeah and what about Flair sending Austin home. I can't understand it, we are fighting the nWo, and he sends home the best chance we've got of beating them.
JR - Well, King, to be honest..... well let's give Flair the benefit of the doubt and say he's got his reasons.
King - Yeah his reasons for losing maybe.
JR - Folks up next is William Regal the current Intercontinental Champion taking on the Godfather, and you gotta wonder King, will those Brass Knucks come into play again. I mean last night he, well he fooled Edge and the ref, when he had his own pair of brass knuckles tucked away somewhere, in that Knuckles on a pole match.
King - Well now JR, to be fair to William Regal, there is no rule that states he could'nt have his own pair on knuckels, cause after all, Knuckles were legal in that match.
JR - Yeah they were legal, only if you retrived them from the pole, not from down ya damn trunks.
William Regal vs Godfather
Lilian announces the Intercontinental champion out first for this non-title match up. Rgeal comes down to the ring with his belt straped around his waist, he enters the ring and the referee quicky checks him over for any sigh of a foreign object, much to the annoyance of the British Intercontintal champion.
With a smile on her face Lillian announces to the ring, The Godfather accompanied by his ladie friends. Godfather and the "ho's" all dance around the ring, and even get Lillian involved. Before Regal takes a cheap shot and attacks the Godfather while his back is turned. Lillian and the "ho's" quickly exit the ring as the bell tolls.
End of Match -
Godfather whips Regal into the corner, he goes in after him with the Hoooo Train, but Regal manages to get a elbow up to the face. Godftaher drops back and Regal strikes with a running blow to the leg. Godfather drops to the canvas as Regal drops and slides out of the ring, the ref checks over The Godfather, and Regal making sure the ref is'nt looking goes searching under the ring apron for something...... He pulls out a pair of brass Knucks and slides them on over his fingers.
Regal slides into the ring and both men get to their feet, Regal pulls out his arm and goes for a big swinging punch, Godfather ducks, anf then takes ahold of Regal setting him up for the Pimp Drop. Godftaher looks to hit the move, but at the last second, Regal strikes his fist down on the head of The Godfather, they ref no the wiser maks the count as Regal covers him for the 1....2...3
Regal's arm is raised as he is announced the winner by pinfall. Out of the crowd comes Edge, he slides intot he ring, Regal unaware. Regal turns around as Edge chrges at him and hits a SPEAR. Edge grabs the Knuckles from of Regals fingers, and angrily shows them to the ref, Edge exits the ring and heads up the ramp to the back.

We are taken backstage seeing Hogan, Hall and Nash walking around cautiously looking over their shoulders. When suddenly Kurt Angle comes out of nowhere.
Nash - Boys, boys, look who it is. It's Mr. olympic gold meadilst himself Kurt Friggin Angle.
Hall - Hey Kurt, good to meet ya man, it's not every day I meet a REAL olympic gold meadilst.
Hogan - Kurt my main man, a real gold medalist in my very presence, you know its my honour.
The nWo look at each other smirking, as Kurt laps up the insincerity
Kurt - Hey guys, you no im glad I found you three
Hogan - Kurt ermm before you go on, don't supose you seen Steve Austin around anywhere.
Kurt - Austin, no. You guys don't need to worry about him, he's long gone, Flair sent him home.
Hogan - Ha Ha You here that Kev, Scott, Flair sent home the rattlesnake.
Nash - I'll give Flair this, he got balls to send home the rattlesnake. Anyway Kurt our friend, what can we do you for.
Kurt - Well it's funny you should ask, ermm before I go on, I gotta say what an honour, what a true joy this is for me, meeting the real life nWo. I've had some great moments in my life, and winning a gold medal is damn sure one of them, but even that can't compare to this moment, this is something I'll treasure for the rest of my life, a real true memory.
The nWo pat Kurt on the back, all three men thank him, mockingly, but Kurt doesn't see the insincerity in them again.
Kurt- I ermm actually came here to ask you three a favour
Hall - A favour, sure Kurt anything for a Gold medalist.
Kurt - You see guys, Flair booked me and Triple H in a match tonight. for the number one contendership at Wrestlemania. But well me and Stephanie were talking, and well seeing as you are helping one McMahon get one over on Flair, how about helping a second McMahon get one over on Flair. Cause he's screwed me out of my deserved title shot already, and he will do it again tonight. So I was thinking maybe you guys could help level the playing field.
Hogan - You know what Kurt, I think we mihgt be able to help you out there, I mean after all we would only be leveling out the playing field, and afterall thats what the nWo is all about, being fair.
Kurt - Thanks guys, you three really are the best, I could hug each and eveyone of you.
Nash - Wow, wow buddy, that won't be nesseccary, how about a hand shake instead.
Kurt shakes the hand of all three men, and walks of joyfully, whooooing occasionally.
The nWo begin laughing histeracly, mocking Kurt Angle after he is out of ear shot.
Hogan, Hall and Nash suddenly stop laughing, a serious face comes across them all.
Nash - Well, well look what the cat draged out the bag, long time no see buddy.
Triple H - Kev, Scott, long time no see, ha man it's good to see you guys, but don't tell the boys in the back you heard me saying that. And Hollywod Hogan.
Hogan and Hunter stare at each other and just give half hearted smiles.
Nash - We just had a friend of yours speaking to us.
Triple H - Yeah Kurt, I saw, what he want anyway.
Nash - He wanted us to level out the playing field tonight, but lets say he's gonna get a surprise.
You know Hunter, the three nWo could always become the four nWo. All you gotta do is say the word and your in, imagine it Hunter. Triple H and the nWo running the WWF. We'd be unstopable, what you say, you want in. It'd be like the the old days, like the Klique running the show again.
Hall and Nash both put their hands on Triple H's shoulders, while Hogan just nods along with the offer of Triple H becoming the newest nWo member. Hunter puts his hand over his mouth and drops his head, then he removes their hands of his shoulders. Hall and Nash look taken aback.
Triple H - Guys, it's great seeing you again, and hell the klique was something I will never forget, but..... but I've moved on, you know, im on the way to becoming World champ, and you know, thaks but no thanks, I gotta do this on my own. Sorry guys, no hard feelings ay. You know were like brothers, friends to the end, how about after I beat Kurt Angle's ass, I come back here and we have a few beers, for old times sake.
Nash - Yeah sure Hunter, no problem, but if you ever change your mind, you know where we are. See ya later buddy, and good luck out there tonight.
Triple H walks of levaing Nash, Hall and Hogan staring at his back, they all turn to each other.
Hogan - Big Sexy, this is your call brother.
Nash - You know boyz, I think we should show the Olympic gold meadilst no one kisses the nWo's ass and uses us as stepping stones. And I think we should show are old buddy, no one turns down the nWo.
The camera cuts back to the announcers as The nWo have a disgusted look about their faces.

JR - Yeah well, he shouldn't listen to Stephanie McMahon in the first place, she owt to know the nWo wouldn't help him unless they got something in return.
Well up next is the main event, it's Triple H vs Kurt Angle for the chance to face off against Chris Jericho, for the Undisputed world title at Wrestlemania in Toronto, March the 17th .
The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla
The Music of the Unisputed world heavyweight champion plays out over the PA system, echoing all around the packed arena.
The fans stand on their feet to boo Chris Jericho.
Jericho comes out with his back to the fans and his arms outstreched, the Undisputed title hanging of the right arm.
Jericho turns and heads towards the ring, patting his belt and smirking so arrangntley. He is handed a mic, and snatches it away.
Jericho - Now that the Unisputed World heavweight champion is here, it's time for you to SHUT THE HELL UP.
The crowd boos heavily at Jericho's demand
Oh Booh Ho, you monkeys should be damn grateful that im even gracing my presence for you. I mean it's not ever day you get to see a Living Legend, live in the the flesh. Espcially a Living Legend as great as me.

Main Event
Number one contendership match
Triple H vs Kurt Angle
Lilian Garcia enters the ring as the crowd go silent, wating for the main event to begin. Lilian begins the event by announcing the Olympic Gold medalist, Kurt Angle out. Angle comes out from behind the curtain to a loud chorus of boo's and well timed "You Suck" chants. He enters the ring and has his eyes set on the ramp way, awaiting his opponent Triple H.
Time to play the Game.... plays out over the PA system. The crowd stand to their feet as Triple H emerges out from the back. Kurt Angels face doesn't change, Chris Jericho still seated at ringside has a look or arrogance as per usual, he slowly claps Triple H to the ring, a sarcastic clap at that. Triple H stands upon the ring apron, and spits his water into the air, and then looks down upon Chris Jericho, both men lock eyes, Angle only has eyes for Triple H.
End of Match -
Triple H whips Angle into the corner and follows up with a running forearm smash. Angle grogerly gets to his feet but is put back down again with a hard right from Triple H.
Hunter lifts Kurt up onto the top turnbuckle, he looks to attempt a Superplex, but Angle fights him off with several punches to the head. And eventually knocks Triple H of the turnbuckle and onto the canvas. Angle sees Triple H down, he turns his back standing on the top rope and attempts a Moonsault. But Triple H rolls out of the way, and then goes for a quick cover. 1.......2....... but Kurt kicks out.
Triple H, picks Kurt up and looks to set him up for a Pedigree, but Angle hits a low blow on Hunter sending him to the mat in agony. Angle drops the straps and grabs hold of Triple H's Ankle. But before he can do any damage Triple H manages to kick out at Kurt, breaking the hold but also sending Kurt flying into the referee, knocking him out of the ring completley.
Jericho jumps up onto the ring apron, and begins goading Triple H, Kurt gets to his feet, and he and Hunter look at each other and at the same time send Jericho flying of the rign apron and down to the floor mat.

Kurt gets to his feet and cheers, much to the annoyance of the crowd, Kurt see's that the ref is still down and goes to the outside of the ring, he pulls out a chair and slides back into the ring. Kurt smashes the chair of the canvas denting it, as he prepares for Triple H to stur and get to his feet.
The crowd suddenly begin to buzz, as at the top of the ramp, Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash appear. Kurt cheers, thinking they have come out to "level the playing field" after their conversation earlier on. The nWo make their way down the ramp and enter into the ring. Kurt goes to high five them as they all look down over Triple H's fallen body, then he realises they are staring a hole into him.

Nash picks up the chair that Kurt was holding and slams it down over his back, as Hollywood takes of his leather strap and looks as if he will strike Kurt with it, Triple H gets to his feet and grabs the belt from his hand and slams it to the canvas.
Triple H stares at Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Nash and Hall, look at each other and shrug their shoulders, as if to say ok, ok were leaving. Nash smiles and nods and then signals for Hall and Hogan to leave the ring with him. The nWo look as if they are about to leave. When Hall asks Nash to hand his the chair. Nash hands it over and then calls out to Triplpe H. Triple H turns and Scott Hall nails the chair across his forehead.
Hogan picks his leather strap up from of the floor and begins whipping Triple H with it, Chris Jericho jumps to the ring apron and begind cheering on the nWo, they look at him and give a sly smile. Hogan goes over to Kurt and proceeds whipping him with the leather belt as Nash and Hall stomp away on Triple H. Hogan runs of the rops and drops the leg on Kurt Angle. Nash props Triple H up in the corner and "Sizes him up" before striking him with his forearm,Triple H staggers out as Scott Hall takes hold of him and lifts him on the air, for the Razors Edge.
Hogan goes to outside of the ring, and looks underneath the ring apron, he pulls out three spray cans. Hogan slides two into the ring, Hall and Nash take one each. Nash sprays the nWo logo over the back of Triple H, Hogan underlines it. Hall then brands Kurt Angle with the same nWo logo once again wth Hollywood underlining it.
The nWo look over to Jericho, he looks back at them worringly and drops down from the ring, The nWo taunt the crowd and exit the ring, leaving behind the wreckage of Kurt Angle and Triple H.

Roster Split
There has been talks recently that the World Wrestling would be holding a roster split after Wrestlemania. The idea would be that Ric Flair and Vince McMahon both 50% owners would hold a show each, Ric Flair holding Raw, and Vince McMahon holding Smackdown. Each owner would draw names from a hat to determine their future roster.
But the idea has said to have been nixed, by new arrival Paul Judd. Mr Judd and Mr McMahon are reported to have recently held a meeting and came to the conclusion that the roster split would not be a good idea considering the arrival of the nWo.
The rumored storyline is that the nWo will do battle with Ric Flair alligning themself's with Vince McMahon. Both Judd and McMahon feel it would take away from the story if Flair and the nWo were on one show, but Vince McMahon on another.

BackstoryThe year 2001 looked to be one of the most succsesful years in the wrestling business for the World Wrestling Federation. Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation had won the wrestling wars, WCW and ECW were out of business, Vince had aqquired them both.
For many, the dream of an Invasion looked to become a reality, and it did. Many looked forward to seeing the likes of Sting, Goldberg, "The Outsiders" Kevin Nash and Scott Hall inside a WWF ring battling Stone Cold Steve Ausin, Triple H, The Undertaker and many more, in what would be the greatest storyline in Wrestling's history.
But instead we never got Sting, Goldberg, or even the Outsiders. Many Fans, Promoters and insiders saw the whole Invasion angle as a big flop. It did not provide what many thourght would be the greatest storyline ever, but instead the WWF gave us, a waterered down version of WCW teaming with ECW to take on selected superstars of the WWF. In the eyes of many, it basically,well sucked.
Now the WWF has the oppurtunity to make amends for the flop that was the Invasion angle. A new storyline has come about, a storyline that could make the wrestling world turn on it's head. This time instead of the WCW and ECW invading the WWF, it will be the nWo, one of the most deadly, ruthless and succesful groups in the wrestling world.
Now they're here, the nWo have arrived in the WWF. Hogan, Hall and Nash look to do what they did in WCW, and thats cause chaos and mayhem everywhere they turn.
Those that were in charge during the Invasion angle have been replaced, and instead I will be heading up the company and overseeing the nWo's arrival and future in the WWF.
My name in Paul Judd, and as of 17th February 2002 I will be in charge of all booking duties and creative decisions within the World Wrestling Federation, of course I will be working alongside Mr. McMahon and a booking commitue. But it will be I who has full control over the storylines, and it will be I who can make the changes neccesary to make the nWo angle a success.
Hold on tight, cause the boyz are back...... 4 life.

This is awesome, I cant belive were beating Real Madrid 1-0 at their place aswell. Im not gonna get too ahead of meself though, they could easily pull one back, and still could win.
Good stuff so far though.
-
The first Max Payne, was about £4, but now the disks gone missing
-
can't wait till we give Madrid a whooping :ohwell:
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
-
After seeing the team picked against Brum, I thourght they might have had a good chance of beating us, but we managed the victory, so yay for us. Anyone know when the next round of the champion's league starts, can't wait till we give Madrid a whooping :ohwell:
-
Im gutted we didn't win. Even if its a cup Arsenal dont give a damn about usually, I really wanted us to reach the final, but oh well. Wigan played equally as well as us in the first half, if not better. And we were damn lucky not to have the penalty decision's given against us. Fuck knows what Campbell and Sendros were playing at.
The second half we were the better team, and Van Persie's freekick was sweet. As for Reyes, im getting so frustrated and annyoyed at how he has turned out. When he signed he seemed like he would become a superstar for Arsenal, he scored some decent goals, and played really well. He still has the occasional good game, but nothing anywhere near what he should be playing. All he seems to do now though is dive all over the place, try taking on players and losing the ball, and giving the possesion away from poor passing.
It's just annoying, watching him play the way he has been, knowing he could, and should be so much more. If he really hit form and played to his abilities I have no doubt that he would be an amazing player. But untill that happens im gonna stay annoyed and frustrated at him lol.
-
Can't belive we can beat Middlesbrough Seven Nil one week, and then lose to Everton. Think it kind sums are season up, and were still in 5th place
Looking forward to watching Theo Walcott in action, him and Henry up front could be very promising. And imo we still need to sign a new defender. What is it weve signed, two strikers and a midfileder. -
7-0
Why the fuck we leave to now to start whooping ass I'll never know. Hopefully we can keep this kind of good form for the rest of the season, and take it into the champions league aswell.
-
Henry, Hleb, Van Persie
-
Pires has six months left on his current deal, so he's now free to talk to other clubs should he want to. We've offered him a one year deal, since he's over 30 - but he wants two.
Should we give him two? If he leaves, will Henry follow?
-
Bringing him back would be a great move for us, when he went I knew we would miss him, but didn't realise just how much. This season has been awful for us so far, and we could do with a bit of inspiration back in the midfield. We need to sign new defenders aswell. Im not a massive fan of Laurens, and we need better backup for Toure and Campbell, because Cygan and Sendros are fucking awful. The squad need depth and hopefully Wenger will bring in a few new faces this January.
-
Not really. Even with your 'young' players you should be thrashing a team like Doncaster. That said though, Doncaster did play pretty damn well and did everything they possibly could.
When's the draw for the next round? I want to see United draw Arsenal just so Wigan have an even better chance of making the final.
-
Good god, I feel sorry for Doncaster, they trully but in a great performance against a team that should have won comfortable. Have to say Almunia played decent and made some good saves, the other 10 were crap though. We really need to shape up, 3 straight defeats in the league and nearly knocked out of the Carling cup by Doncaster.
