One question: Was the stalker angle running at this point? And if so, are you going to continue it?

←

This was in July apparently, I somehow doubt he's continuing it.

←

Well he has RETURNING SOON in his sig, so let's hope so, I was really enjoying this diary and I hope it returns.

←

Didn't see that, hopefully it will, and IIRC, the stalking started around May time.

[TMM]

Me thinks that this diary is dead. What with him starting a new WWE one and all.

[Big Tuna]

I really liked this diary. Oh well, gotta find a new one.

WWF Smackdown kicks off with a shot of Vince McMahon standing in front of the door of the WWF Production truck backstage. The fans in the arena give the WWF a nice pop, which grows as the camera pans out in front of the owner, revealing a sea of WWF wrestlers, and employees.

Vince McMahon: “Look around you. Do you know what I see? I see an army of the most talented professional wrestlers in the world. I see a group of individuals who together, aided me in taking down the competition, aided me in destroying WCW. Now, what has happened? My son Shane seems to believe that because he owns the rights to three simple letters, that he could possibly propose some sort of threat to me, to you, to us, to the WWF. Well gentlemen.. and ladies. Tonight, I give you my word.. This broadcast will not be interrupted! WCW… is dead!”

Following the introduction video of Smackdown! We cut to inside the arena where we are greeted by the voices of Michael Cole and Tazz, who welcome us. They hype up the recent happenings of the WCW invasion, and then recall the earlier message from Vince McMahon.

Jerry Lynn© vs. Tajiri – WWF Light Heavyweight Championship - Singles

Match Details: Jerry Lynn set up Tajiri for the cradle piledriver. However, Lynn allowed his ego to get the best of him, and after posing, and taunting the crowd a bit too long, the Japanese buzzsaw managed to escape from the set up and battle back. He two continued to trade blows, until Tajiri managed to score some stiff shots to the side of the rips, followed by a kick to the back of the knees, which brought Lynn down. Tajiri signaled for the Buzzsaw kick, getting a nice pop from the crowd. Tajiri kicked forward, however Lynn ducked, and then visibly low blowed Tajiri. The referee called for the bell, and the DQ victory for Tajiri.

Winner: Tajiri (Jerry Lynn retains)

After the match as Tajiri lay in the ring clutching his lower regions, Lynn rolled to the outside, furious, searching for his belt. Lynn clutched on to his WWF Light Heavyweight championship and stormed up the ramp, with the belt held high, putting himself over.

Suddenly Jerry snatches a sign out of the hands of one of the fans. Lynn holds it up to the camera, and in plain black letters “Lynn fears Mysterio” was printed. Lynn leaned in to the camera.

Jerry Lynn: “Rey Mysterio can kiss my ass!”

With that Lynn ripped the sign in two and walked to the back, disappearing behind the curtain.

We cut backstage where William Regal is shown sitting at his desk, his hand rubbing his temple, and his eyes closed.

William Regal: “I told you, Mick Foley some how got it into the head of Mr. McMahon that the match was a good idea…”

The camera pans back revealing the WWF Tag Team champions Edge and Christian, with Rhyno in the background.

Edge: “Good idea? Good idea! How could this be a good idea! We’ve done nothing but defend these belts! We need a break!”

Christian: “Yeah, seriously Reg-meister, but who’s Mick Foley to give suggestions anyway? He’s not commissioner, I mean, does he even work here anymore?”

William Regal: “I don’t know gentlemen. All I know if that Mr. McMahon wanted the match booked, and in a time like now, I’m not going to be the one to argue with him.”

Edge: “This isn’t fair Regal. This just isn’t fair!”

Edge walks off.

Christian: “This is totally scrapping the bowels of suckitude!”

Christian walks off. Rhyno steps forward.

William Regal: “Can I do something for you?”

Rhyno breathes heavy, sending the strands of wet hair which dangle in front of his face forward.

Rhyno: “Malenko.”

William Regal: “What about that trader?”

Rhyno: “As Hardcore champion, you can still place him in matches can’t you?”

William Regal: “Well, yes.”

Rhyno: “At Backlash, I want him for the title. If he, or Shane refuse, I’m sure there’s some type of legal b.s. that can sued over. I just want him, one on one, for the Hardcore championship.”

William Regal: “I actually think you might be on to something there Rhyno. As a matter of fact, I like your idea. You want Malenko at Backlash? You got it.”

Rhyno nods, smiling a bit.

William Regal: “But…”

Regal leans forward in his chair.

William Regal: “It wouldn’t be wise of you to not win. You would be doing Mr. McMahon a great deed if you brought that Hardcore championship back home. If you lose… well, it’d be nice knowing you sunshine.”

Edge/Christian© vs. The Dudleys vs. The APA vs. The Hardyz – WWF Tag Team Championship - Elimination

Match Details: The Hardyz were the first team to be eliminated following a clothesline from hell from Bradshaw on Jeff. The APA soon followed after the Dudleys managed to hit the WASSUP on Faarooq, followed by the 3D. Edge and Christian played the cowards of the match, avoiding confrontation whenever possible. However, as soon as it was down to The Dudleys, they exploded, attacking their opponents. The two teams continued to battle. The ending of the match came about when D’Von dropped Christian on the top rope, sending the rope between his legs. Christian then fell to the outside stunned. Edge quickly went to check on Christian, calling him to get back up and fight. As Edge did this, the Dudley’s prepared themselves. Edge turned back to face the inside, and was met by Bubba hoisting him up, and D’Von bringing him down for the Dudley Death Drop. Bubba scored the pinfall over Edge.

Winners: Bubba Ray/D’Von – The Dudley Boys (NEW WWF Tag Team Champions!)

As the Dudley Boys celebrated and the WWF fans cheered for the new champions, Edge rolled to the outside, and fell to the arena floor. Christian soon managed to make his way over, placing an arm around his brother. The former champions slowly made their way to the back, looking incredibly distraught, and screaming about things not being fair.

We come back from commercial to find Bubba Ray and D’Von celebrating backstage. Stevie Richards stands with the new tag champs, pouring champagne over their heads. The excitement briefly halts as Bradshaw and Faarooq walk up. Bubba and D’Von take fighting positions.

Bradshaw: “Easy boys!”

Faarooq: “Yeah, we just came here to give you our congratulations.”

Bradshaw: “As only the APA can!”

With that Faarooq produces a case of beer. Bubba and D’Von smile, shaking hands with the APA.

“Woo hoo! YAY!!!”

The group of WWF stars turn and face off camera as an off screen voice yells. The camera quickly pans and zoom in to see Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell in the distance of the backstage area, walking up.

Scott Steiner: “Hey Buff, where’s your manners? Let’s hear it for the Tag team champs!”

Buff Bagwell: “Yeah! Tag team champs! Right!”

Suddenly a herd of WWF security appears between the two groups. Road agents and referees stand in front of the WWF stars, as the security focuses in on the two WCW performers.

Scott Steiner: “Oh what’s this? Rent a cop to the rescue? Is this how you boys plan to fight? This is going to be too easy!”

Bradshaw: “Hey listen you little punk ass son of a :beep: ! I have no problem kicking both of your asses right now, right here!”

The rest of the WWF stars step up.

“No! It won’t happen! No! Get the camera off of them!”

It’s the voice of Vince McMahon. McMahon rushes up to the scene, stepping in front of Bradshaw and shoving him back. The camera is suddenly spun around by it’s lens as Vince brings the camera off of Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell.

Vince McMahon: “I said this broadcast wouldn’t be interrupted and it won’t!-“

Scott Steiner (off screen): “Yoo-hoo! Vince! Hey Vince! Why don’t you let your superstars fight their own battles!”

Buff Bagwell (off screen): “Yeah Vince, c’mon, get your lackeys out of here!”

Vince McMahon: “Security! These men are trespassing! I want them escorted off the grounds!”

Scott Steiner (off screen): “Oh what the-“

Bradshaw: “What the hell is this Vince?! You’re just going to let those son’s of-“

Vince McMahon: “You listen to me Bradshaw! You listen to me, all of you! If there’s going to be a war between WWF and WCW, it’s going to happen in my office. It’s going to happen between my lawyers, and my son’s lawyers. Because I’ll be damned, if I fight a battle in the ring, that the WWF has already been declared the victor of! We’re the winners! They’re the losers! The quicker they realize that, the quicker all of this will be over with! Bubba Ray, D’Von, congratulations on winning. You deserve those belts. Bradshaw, Faarooq, you both put up one hell of a fight. Now, go out and celebrate.”

Vince McMahon walks off screen as we cut back to the arena floor.

Chris Jericho© vs. Chris Benoit – WWF Intercontinental Championship

Match Details: A great showcasing of awesome technical skill. These two easily wrestled in the match of the night. The fans ate every moment of this one up, with each near fall scoring a bigger cheer than the last. The ending of the match saw Chris Benoit miss the diving head butt, and Jericho return with some pretty stiff shots to the cranium. Jericho soon hit a running bulldog, followed by the Lionsault, for the pinfall victory.

Winner: Chris Jericho

After the match Benoit approached Jericho in the ring, clutching his rips. The two embraced in a hug as the fans applauded them both. Benoit raised Jericho’s hand, as he was handed the Intercontinental belt.

We come back from commercial to find William Regal’s theme music playing, and the commissioner standing on the Smackdown stage. Regal holds a microphone.

William Regal: “I am out here to announce to the world that before this night is through, we will decide the number one contender for Stone Cold Steve Austin’s, World heavyweight championship!”

The fans cheer.

William Regal: “Myself and Mr. McMahon sat down earlier tonight, and decided that there was truly no better way to decide, then to hold an old fashioned tournament. So, let the tournament begin!”

The Rock vs. Kurt Angle – Number One Contenders Tournament

Match Details: Of course as soon as Kurt Angle and The Rock were announced, the place exploded with cheers. This was definitely more of a sports entertainment bout than we’re use to seeing from Angle, as he brawled most of the time. The Rock managed to score some nice offense, and some swift reversals for ankle lock attempts. The ending of the match came when Kurt set The Rock up for the Angle Slam. He hoisted Rock up, only Rock managed to escape, and spin Angle around right in to the Rock Bottom. Angle fell to the mat, where he was then introduced to the People’s Elbow to the delight of the fans. Three seconds later, The Rock was walking away the victor.

Winner: The Rock

Big Show vs. Triple H – Number One Contenders Tournament

Match Details: Most of the match was spent with Triple H trying to knock Big Show to the ground, and Big Show either laughing, or slapping The Game in to place. Stone Cold Steve Austin soon appeared at ringside, rallying Triple H against The Big Show, signifying that The Power Trip was stronger than ever. As Big Show continued to lay it to The Game, Stone Cold would occasionally get involved, jumping up on the ring apron, allowing Triple H to attack Big Show from behind. On one occasion, it allowed for Triple H to hit a kick to the groin, and set Big Show up for the Pedigree. But the big man would have none of that, sending Triple H up and over, and to the mat. Stone Cold would eventually enter the ring, gunning for The Big Show. Show quickly attacked with a clothesline, followed by one to Triple H. Stone Cold stood only to be driven down by a chokeslam by Big Show. The World’s champion rolled out, as Triple H was met with the same fate, and pinned.

Winner: The Big Show

The Rock vs. The Big Show – Number One Contendership

Match Details: The match began with The Rock taking the place of Triple H, fighting the impossible battle against the seven foot monster. The same fate seemed to be in store for The Rock as Big Show was in control for most of the match, with the Rock occasionally hitting some nice punches, and rallying the crowd behind him. The ref was then taken out by The Rock being whipped in to him in the corner. In the most shocking physical part of the match, The Rock managed to take The Big Show down with a spinebuster, sending the fans in to a frenzy as the People’s Champion stood up, and signaled for the People’s Elbow…

“W-C-W!”

The familiar air raid siren began to blast over the p.a. system, and the arena lit up. The Rock stopped everything, pacing around the ring, watching for an attack. We cut backstage, where Shane McMahon is seen standing in the WWF production truck, barking orders at the employees. Diamond Dallas Page stands behind Shane, threatening those that didn’t listen.

We cut to Vince McMahon watching a monitor, backstage, observing Shane, in a frantic state. We can still hear Shane in the production truck.

Shane McMahon: “Get that fool off of my television show!”

We cut to just outside of the production truck with a fleet of security is trying to get at the door, which has apparently been locked.

We cut in side of the production truck, where Shane continues barking orders.

The feed cuts out, and we return to the arena floor, where The Rock stands in the ring watching it all. Suddenly, The Rock is attacked from behind. It’s Booker T! The WCW Champion begins stomping on the People’s Champion, as the fans begin to boo heavily. Jeff Jarrett and Chris Kanyon appear out of no where at ringside, reaching over the barrier and grabbing two fans seats from the crowd.

Kanyon and Jarrett enter, both armed with chairs. Booker T hits The Book End on the Rock as the fans continue to boo the WCW Invaders.

The Big Show who was nursing his wounds this whole time enters the ring from the outside, walking towards Booker T. The WCW Champion throws his hands up, telling Big Show to calm down. Big Show stops where he is, and stares at Booker T.

The fans begin to boo even more heavily as Booker T begins to negotiate with Big Show. Big Show slowly nods, and turns his attention towards The Rock, as Booker T smiles. However, it’s a farce as Show charges at Booker T to attack, only to be taken out by Kanyon and Jarrett, both armed with steel chairs.

Both men take turns beating the Big Show with the chairs over the back, until he is down on the canvas. The Rock is back up, but is met with a steel chair from Jarrett. Booker T then began barking orders at Jarrett and Kanyon, who positioned the Rock on the mat. Booker T then placed one of Big Show’s arms over The Rock, and left the ring. Jarrett reached through the ropes, shaking the referee back to consciousness.

As the referee awoke, The APA, Undertaker, and Kane came running out from the backstage area. Kanyon, Booker T, and Jarrett quickly left through the crowd, as the referee counted three on the fallen People’s Champion.

However, Big Show was less than victorious, seemingly unconscious from the chair beating which he took at the hands of the invaders.

As the show came to a close, Vince McMahon appeared on the stage, looking concerned. The APA checked on Rock and Big Show as The Undertaker and Kane stood in the crowd eyeing Booker T, Jarrett, and Kanyon.

We cut back to the production truck, where a large black pickup truck appears. The security guards dodge out of the way as the truck continues driving forward, nailing the steel steps leading in to the production truck. The horn is blown twice, and we are shown a quick shot of Scott Steiner behind the wheel. The door of the production truck flies open, and DDP along with Shane McMahon jump into the back of the truck, as it speeds away. The security chase after the truck, as Shane McMahon audibly laughs.

Fade to black.

Not as strong of a return show as a would of liked. But I booked this so long ago, and ran it in my game so long ago, that I forgot exactly how everything was suppose to pan out. I hope you all liked it tho. I'm glad this diary is back!!!

hey I dont mind, it was good to me. Nice return show, I hope you would continue this diary again. Malenko defected, so I thought Show would have been next, but I guess not.

[King.]

The WWF Sunday Night Heat introduction plays through, and we cut to the inside of the arena. We are greeted by the voice of Tazz, and surprisingly, returning to the commentator booth, Jim Cornette! Both men welcome us to the show before the action begins.

Chyna© vs. Molly Holly – WWF Women’s Championship

Match Details: An appropriate opener. Molly Holly gave Chyna the edge she needed to make this match somewhat watchable. Chyna defeated Molly with the Rear Naked Drop.

Winner: Chyna

Following the match, we cut to a video package.

The video is in black and white, and features footage strung together, showcasing the WWF/WCW Invasion.

Shane McMahon: “Impressive isn’t he Vince? This is what a REAL world champion looks like!”

Booker T explodes from behind Shane McMahon, knocking Vince McMahon over with the World Heavyweight Title belt. Vince falls hard to the wrestling mat, the sound of the microphone hitting the ring sends a loud cracking sound through the arena.

The fans are booing tremendously as Booker T continues to lay a beating to the WWF boss, as Shane McMahon parades behind the assault, drilling Booker T on, motivating him. The fans suddenly cheer, and the camera spins toward the entrance way. The Acolytes, Kane, and The Undertaker come storming down the rampway. Intelligently, Shane and Booker T let up on the assault, and high-tail it out of the ring, and through the crowd.

-Cross Over-

Suddenly, the door swings open, and a loud crash is heard. Chris Jericho falls from the doorway, into the hallway, right in front of the camera. Around Chris Jericho’s head sits the remains of a guitar. The camera quickly pans to the right to reveal none other then Jeff Jarrett standing in the doorway, looking down at the fallen WWF Superstar. Decked out in a black WCW T-Shirt, blue jeans, and black sunglasses, Jarrett steps over the fallen WWF Superstar and out into the hallway.

Jeff Jarrett: “Listen up slapnuts! This is the only the beginning! Tonight, Booker T will destroy WWF’s precious Heavyweight champion, and WCW will prove just how superior we are!”

-Cross Over-

Shane McMahon: “Now Chris, I’m asking you, do you want to be apart of the NEW WCW?!”

Chris Kanyon: “Yes!”

Shane McMahon: “So prove to Jeff Jarrett… prove to Booker T… prove to me… to the world that you are to be taken seriously! Prove that you are the man, the athlete, you say, and I say, you are. Prove you can run with the big dogs, and you could fight this Invasion with me… with WCW!”

-Cross Over-

Shane McMahon: “It is my honor… to present to all of you… the NEW WCW United States Champion…”

With that Shane bends down, unzipping the bag. He reaches in, and removes the WCW United States Championship belt. He holds it high.

Shane McMahon: “A man who’s athletic, talented, entertaining, and one of the best forms of a true competitor, this industry has to offer! He’s also the newest member of Team WCW, Chris Kanyon!”

Shane McMahon: “Ladies and gentlemen… I give to you. The NEW WCW Cruiserweight Champion…”

Shane reaches down into the duffle bag, and removes the WCW Cruiserweight championship. He holds it high above his head.

Shane McMahon: “Rey! Mysterio! Junior!”

“WHO’S THAT JUMPING OUT THE SKY?!” Rey Mysterio’s theme music hits, and the crowd erupts in cheer. Rey Mysterio slides into the ring, and is greeted with a hug from Shane McMahon. Shane hands the championship belt to Rey Mysterio, who takes it, and raises it above his hand. Chris Kanyon, U.S. Title around his waist, quickly hugs Rey Mysterio. Booker T slaps the back of Mysterio, welcoming him to the group. Jeff Jarrett slowly leaves the corner, and welcomes the newcomer as well.

-Cross Over-

Malenko pulls himself off the ropes, walking slowly towards the fallen Big Show. Booker T, Jeff Jarrett watch on. Dean Malenko suddenly drops, covering The Big Show.

The referee confused a bit, drops, and counts, one, two three. Dean Malenko wins back the WWF Hardcore Championship!

Dean Malenko is handed the WWF Hardcore Championship, and slowly stands, gazing as Booker T and Jeff Jarrett. Suddenly, all three men, and walk towards each other. The fans erupt in a chorus of boos as the three men hug in the center of the ring.

-Cross Over-

Suddenly from the entrance ramp, a blond bombshell was on the ring apron, it’s Miss Hancock!. Eddie Guerrero was taken aback by the presence of the attractive young woman in front of him. Eddie soon went into “Latino Heat” mode, and began taunting the Hancock from the center of the ring. This soon allowed the distraction, as Chris Kanyon came up from behind, and rolled up the European champion. We get a shot of Chris Kanyon holding the tights, before the ref counts, one, two, three!

-Cross Over-

The air-raid siren hits, and plays as the “WCW” logo displays over the titan tron. Upon hearing it, Booker T smiles. Suddenly “SELF HIGH FIVE!” The air-raid siren becomes the theme of Diamond Dallas Page! DDP comes walking out from the curtain area, decked out in the black/red WCW t-shirt, and a pair of black sunglasses.

-Cross Over-

Scott Steiner appeared behind The Undertaker, slamming both fists into the back of the dead man, as Buff Bagwell came in, taking out the knee of Kane The crowd was near riot, as WCW slowly took over control again. The Rock was soon double teamed by Malenko/Booker T, Kane was taken down by DDP/Bagwell, and Undertaker had his hands full with Shane McMahon/Scott Steiner.

-The video slows down and then suddenly jumpstarts into color.-

GLASS SHATTERS! Stone Cold’s theme music hit, and the fans erupted! Stone Cold came charging out from backstage, and slid into the ring. He stood, and was immediately charged at by Buff Bagwell. Austin ducked the attack, turned, and connected with a stunner. Malenko soon charged Austin, only to suffer the same fate of the stunner. DDP was next, suffering a stunner. However, Booker T soon took control, getting a steel chair involved. Booker T slammed the chair over the back of Stone Cold, sending him to the mat.

-Cross Over-

Suddenly, The Rock is attacked from behind. It’s Booker T! The WCW Champion begins stomping on the People’s Champion, as the fans begin to boo heavily. Jeff Jarrett and Chris Kanyon appear out of no where at ringside, reaching over the barrier and grabbing two fans seats from the crowd.

Kanyon and Jarrett enter, both armed with chairs. Booker T hits The Book End on the Rock as the fans continue to boo the WCW Invaders.

The Big Show who was nursing his wounds this whole time enters the ring from the outside, walking towards Booker T. The WCW Champion throws his hands up, telling Big Show to calm down. Big Show stops where he is, and stares at Booker T.

The fans begin to boo even more heavily as Booker T begins to negotiate with Big Show. Big Show slowly nods, and turns his attention towards The Rock, as Booker T smiles. However, it’s a farce as Show charges at Booker T to attack, only to be taken out by Kanyon and Jarrett, both armed with steel chairs.

Both men take turns beating the Big Show with the chairs over the back, until he is down on the canvas. The Rock is back up, but is met with a steel chair from Jarrett. Booker T then began barking orders at Jarrett and Kanyon, who positioned the Rock on the mat. Booker T then placed one of Big Show’s arms over The Rock, and left the ring. Jarrett reached through the ropes, shaking the referee back to consciousness.

As the referee awoke, The APA, Undertaker, and Kane came running out from the backstage area. Kanyon, Booker T, and Jarrett quickly left through the crowd, as the referee counted three on the fallen People’s Champion.

The video ends with the WCW Air Raid siren blaring, and a shot of Team WCW standing in the ring, raising eachothers hands from Monday Night Raw.

Stone Cold Steve Austin© vs. The Big Show - WWF World Heavyweight Championship

Rhyno vs. Dean Malenko© - WWF Hardcore Championship

[King.]

April 9th 2001

Last week on Smackdown, then WWF Tag Team Champions, Edge and Christian protested defending their belts in a fatal four-way elimination match. The champs ended up losing the match, and their belts to The Dudley Boys. This week on Raw, what will the former Tag team champions have to say?

Also last week on Smackdown, The Big Show won a one night tournament to be crowned the Number One Contender for Stone Cold Steve Austin's WWF World Heavyweight championship. However, the victory didn't come without a price, as WCW's Booker T, Chris Kanyon, and Jeff Jarrett aided Big Show in the victory, but not before beating the seven-foot giant down with steel chairs.

The Rock isn't expected at Raw, due to the injuries he suffered on Smackdown. Big Show is in the house. Will Big Show score some revenge on WCW?

Also on Raw, Chris Jericho will step in to the ring to defend his Intercontinental championship against Kurt Angle, by order of Commissioner William Regal.

And in a non-title contest, European champion Eddie Guerrero will battle Test.

All this and more on Raw!

[The Dork Knight]

Looking foward to this. Maybe you could sign Steve Corino.

April 9th 2001

The WWF Monday Night Raw opening fills your television screen. You’re pumped, hyped, and just a tad bit thirsty. Following the introduction, we cut live, inside the arena. Pyrotechnics explode from the Raw stage, sending smoke and fire in to the air. The glitz stops, and we get some panning views of the hot WWF crowd.

GLASS SHATTERS! But it’s not Stone Cold Steve Austin’s theme, no, welcome the new remixed version of The Power Trip’s theme. The fans give a strong mixed reaction as the WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and Vince McMahon appear on stage. Mr. McMahon leads the way, as Austin and Triple H try to regain some of their heat by blowing off some of the fans, and talking trash.

The trio enters the ring, and Vince McMahon is given the microphone.

Vince McMahon: “Several weeks ago, my son Shane purchased World Championship Wrestling, and since then, there has been this spectacle going on which has come to be known as some sort of WCW Invasion..”

Half the crowd boo’s the mention of WCW, while the other half cheers.

Vince McMahon: “And since the start of this charade, I’ve done nothing but try and kill it. But, I was actually going about it all, in the wrong way. You see, I underestimated my son Shane. I underestimated.. WCW. I thought that by simply ignoring the fact, the fact, would just disappear…”

We are given a shot of Stone Cold, and Triple H, leaning against the ropes watching the WWF Chairman.

Vince McMahon: “Well, I now realize, that this problem isn’t going to just go away. This is a problem, a threat, that the WWF will no longer avoid…”

The crowd begins to rally up.

Vince McMahon: “My son Shane wants WWF versus WCW? My son Shane wants a war? Well by God, we accept!!”

The crowd erupts at that announcement. We are given a few panning shots of the crowd, and we then cut back to The Power Trip, who are both nodding their heads.

Vince McMahon: “Forget security… forget lawyers… it’s now between the WWF superstars… and the WCW army. There is no more, keeping WCW out of the building… Hell, Shane, I now welcome you to come. Because back there..”

Vince McMahon points towards the stage, and locker room area.

Vince McMahon: “Is an army of fifty plus, waiting for your WCW scum to show their faces!”

The crowd cheers. In the ring, Triple H is handed the microphone by Vince McMahon. Upon accepting the microphone, the crowd begins to boo the Cerebral Assassin.

Triple H: “How fitting it is, that on a night when WWF enters the war with WCW, that it is the companies two strongest, toughest, and baddest competitors ready to lead the fight! With the WWF World Heavyweight Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and me, The Game, The Cerebral Assassin, the greatest tag team in WWF history, backing this fight, you can bet your bottom dollar, that The Power Trip, will come out.. on top!”

The crowd gives another mixed reaction to Triple H. Helmsley hands the microphone over to Stone Cold, who stares at Triple H for a few seconds, and then takes the microphone.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “You know with all this talk of war, fighting, WCW versus WWF, it seems to me that everyone has forgotten just what the hell it is we’re supposed to be doing around here!”

Austin begins to pace in the ring.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “You’re right Triple H, we are the greatest tag team in the history of this sport, and we are the two toughest son’s on bitches on the planet! But what I’ve been hearing and seeing for the last few weeks, is a lot of the flapping of the gums, and nobody really stepping up to do anything about it! Now right now, I’m going to turn my attention away from this Invasion garbage, and focus in on where I should be!”

The crowd boo’s Stone Cold.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “Last Thursday Night, The Big Show won himself the number one contenders spot. What that means to O’le Stone Cold, is another son of a bitch, looking to take what’s mine, the WWF title. Well Big Show, let Stone Cold make something crystal clear right now. Stone Cold Steve Austin… is not.. afraid.. of your seven-foot.. nine hundred pound.. overweight… over-growth’d… ass! What you won yourself on Thursday is a Texas sized, grade A, ass whooping at the hands of yours truly!”

Mr. McMahon and Triple H are shown clapping for the WWF Champion.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “So what I’d like to do right now, is take this moment to-“

BOOM! Fire explodes from the stage, and the lights in the arena turn red. Kane’s music begins to blast throughout the arena, and the silhouetted Power Trip are shown visibly shaken in the ring.

ROLLIN! The Undertaker’s theme music cuts in, and the lights return to normal. The fans are in an uproar, as The Brother’s of Destruction appear on the Raw stage. In the ring, McMahon steps back, shielded by the Power Trip who are ready for a fight.

Back on the stage, The Undertaker has produced a microphone, and as his theme music fades, he raises it.

The Undertaker: “Excuse this interruption.. But my brother and I have heard just about as much as we could possibly stand!”

The crowd cheers.

The Undertaker: “I have three things that I want to set right, right now… First, you two ego tripping bitches call yourselves the greatest tag team in WWF history?”

Big pop at the insult directed towards The Power Trip.

The Undertaker: “Let me make something perfectly clear, to you Stone Cold, and you Triple H. If you want to find the toughest, strongest, and baddest son’s of bitches in the WWF? You’re looking at em!”

Crowd cheers the Brothers of Destruction. Kane throws his head back, removing the wet hair from in front of his mask. In the ring, Triple H begins to argue with Mr. McMahon, pointing towards the stage. Austin clutches his WWF title.

The Undertaker: “Second, if there’s one team who’s bleeds WWF spirit? It’s us! If there’s one team who’s going to lead the WWF in to the war with WCW? It’s us! What it isn’t, is two power hungry cowards, with the boss in their back pocket!”

Crowd cheers The Undertaker again. This time, both Stone Cold and Triple H begin to yell at Vince to regain order. Mr. McMahon takes the microphone.

Vince McMahon: “Hey! Undertaker what exactly is it you want?! How dare you come-“

The Undertaker: “Shut your mouth!”

The crowd erupts. The sudden outburst by Taker startles McMahon who loses grip on the microphone, and begins fumbling with it. Triple H catches it, and hangs on to it.

The Undertaker: “Last Thursday… The Big Show did win himself the number one contender spot, albeit some controversy. He won himself a mini-tournament, which is just dandy. But you know what he didn’t do? He didn’t.. beat… me! So Austin, if you’re lucky enough to still be clutching on to that WWF Championship following Backlash, your ass… is mine!”

The crowd cheers. Stone Cold grabs the microphone away from Triple H.

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “You want Stone Cold Steve Austin? Hell, it sounds like you want a piece of both of us! Bring your asses down to the ring!”

Stone Cold throws down the microphone. On the stage, Undertaker smirks, looks at his brother Kane, who glances back at him, and drops the microphone. The fans cheer as The Brothers of Destruction slowly begin to walk forward. In the ring, Triple H and Austin has shoved McMahon out of the way. Vince scrambles to pick up the microphone.

Vince McMahon: “Wait a minute! Stop! Wait a minute!”

The crowd begins to boo. The Power Trip step back in the ring, and Taker/Kane halt on the rampway.

Vince McMahon: “If you four want to kill each other, well… God damnit, I won’t stop it! But it’s not going to happen now! Tonight, the main event will be, Stone Cold Steve Austin, teaming with Triple H, to take on Kane and The Undertaker!”

The crowd cheers. Austin and HHH nod and glance towards their opponents for the evening. On the ramp, Taker smiles, and he and Kane begin to back up, as their music hits. In the ring, Triple H and Austin begin to talk strategy as we go to commercial.

--

We come back from commercial to find Perry Saturn standing with street clothed, WWF Legend, Sgt. Slaughter backstage.

Perry Saturn: “So I haven’t talked to him in weeks.”

Sgt Slaughter: “Well Perry, Dean Malenko’s defection shocked us all, but I have to admit, myself and the rest of the WWF road agents have been keeping an eye on you, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero. I mean-“

Perry Saturn: “Woah, woah, woah! Slaughter, I know what you’re going to say. Because the four of us came to the WWF from WCW together last year, everyone thinks that if one of us jumps back, we’re all going to. Well, I can’t speak for Eddie or Chris, but I can certainly speak for myself. We deserted that sinking ship, because we knew exactly what was going to happen! Malenko has apparently been fooled in to thinking that the reincarnated version of WCW will somehow outlast it’s predecessor. Well let me tell you something Sarge.. I now bleed, WWF colors! I know owe my entire career to the-“

Suddenly Perry Saturn is ambushed from behind. The camera quickly pulls back, as Dean Malenko, Hardcore Title around his waist begins attacking Perry Saturn with stiff forearms to the back of the skull. The crowd begins to boo in the arena, and Sgt. Slaughter is heard calling for officials. Malenko stands over the fallen Saturn. Slaughter re-enters the picture, going after Malenko, only to be side swiped, and tackled to the ground next to Saturn. Malenko looks down at Saturn.

Dean Malenko: “You just hate me Saturn, because I’m smarter than you! Sinking ship?”

Malenko stomps Saturn.

Dean Malenko: “WCW, and Shane McMahon are the new thing in town. You just need to learn to accept it!”

The WWF Hardcore Champion stomps on his former friend again. Sudden commotion off screen causes Malenko to retreat.

“Get over here!”

As Malenko runs away, Rhyno comes storming in to the picture to the delight of the fans. He kneels briefly by Saturn and Slaughter, concerned, before chasing after Dean Malenko.

We cut to the Commissioners Office of William Regal. It’s a similar sight, Regal at his desk looking aggravated, with Edge and Christian standing before him.

Edge: “We demand a rematch!”

Christian: “Fo shizzle!”

Edge slowly turns towards Christian, as the fans laugh.

Edge: “Fo shizzle?”

Christian: “I figured I’d try it on for- no?”

Edge: “No.”

Edge turns back to Regal.

William Regal: “Alright you bloody toe rags, you want a rematch with The Dudley Boys, I’ll give you the opportunity to earn one!”

Christian: “Bloody- what? Ew.”

William Regal: “You two better hurry along to the ring, because I’m booking you two in a match right now!”

Edge: “Great, who are our opponents?”

William Regal: “A team, who will be making their return to Monday Night Raw, tonight.”

Christian: “That’s cool. Hey Willy, I’ve been meaning to ask you if I could do something about my theme music I-“

William Regal: “GO!”

Christian: “We’re gone!”

We cut to the arena floor. Jim Ross and Paul Heyman hype up tonight’s main event, Stone Cold and Triple H versus the Brothers of Destruction.

“You Think You Know Me?” Edge and Christian’s theme music begins to play, and the fans welcome the former tag team champions out on to the stage. The duo walk down the ramp, both sliding in, and climbing adjacent turnbuckles. Edge and Christian pose for the fans, and then begin to converse in the ring. The camera focus in on the entry way, and the p.a. system goes silent.

“Oh You Didn’t Know?!” The New Age Outlaws theme music begins to blast, and the fans erupt! Road Dogg Jessie James and Badass Billy Gunn walk out from behind the curtain with Road Dogg talking in to the microphone.

Road Dogg: “You’re damn right! You know we’re back, and we’re ready to roll!”

Road Dogg continues talking into the microphone as he and Billy Gunn walk down to the ring, and roll in. Edge and Christian roll out, as the New Age Outlaws walk to the center. The Outlaws theme music fades.

Road Dogg: “Excuse me, it’s been a while..”

The crowd cheers. Road Dogg coughs, clearing his throat.

Road Dogg: “Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, the WWF proudly brings to you, its soon to be! World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions of the WOOORRRLLDD.. THE ROAD DOGG, JESSE JAMES, BADASS, BILLY GUNN, the NEW.. AGE.. OUTLAWS!”

The fans erupt, chanting “New Age Outlaws” along with The Road Dogg. Jessie James hands the microphone over to Billy Gunn.

Billy Gunn: “And if you’re not down with that… we’ve got two words for ya! WE’RE BACK!!”

The crowd of course screams Suck It! Before cheering for the reunion.

Edge and Christian vs. The New Age Outlaws – Number One Contendership For Tag Team Titles

Match Details: The crowd was behind the New Age Outlaws reunion for the entire contest. So it was no surprise that they blew the roof off of the place when Road Dogg managed to hit Christian with the “Shake, Raddle, and Roll” punch, causing him to spin back into The Fam-ass-er from Billy Gunn. Road Dogg turns quickly, tackling Edge over the ropes, as the legal man, Billy Gunn covered Christian. One, two, three.

Winners: The New Age Outlaws!

The fans erupt in to cheers as the New Age Outlaws theme music starts up again. Gunn and Road Dogg hug in the ring, raising eachothers hands, as the fans continue to cheer. On the floor, Christian has rolled out, holding the back of his neck, and is crawling towards the rampway. We cut to Edge, who is staring off in to space, looking shocked, and slowly becoming more and more furious.

Back in the ring, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn continue to celebrate. Suddenly, Christian is back up, attacking Billy Gunn from behind. The theme music cuts off, and the fans begin to boo. Road Dogg aids his partner, nailing Christian, and pulling him off of Billy. Edge is back in the ring, joining the brawl. Edge and Christian slowly get the upper-hand, with Edge spearing Road Dogg down to the mat.

Edge and Christian’s theme music hits, and the duo rolls out of the ring, as the fans boo them heavily. Following a shot of Road Dogg holding his ribs, and Billy Gunn in the background, not moving, we go to commercial.

--

We come back from commercial with Paul Heyman and Jim Ross catching us up on all that’s taken place here tonight already, the announcement of the main event, the return of the New Age Outlaws, the attack by Malenko on Saturn.

We cut to a backstage hallway to find WWF Light-Heavyweight champion Jerry Lynn walking towards the dressing room. The fans boo the cheating champion upon sight. The camera follows as he opens the door to his locker room, and walks in.

Jerry Lynn stops nearly in the doorway, staring inside.

Jerry Lynn: “Well, look what the cat dragged in!”

Lynn walks forward, allowing the camera to get a look inside. WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio stands in the dressing up, the Cruiserweight strap over his shoulder.

Jerry Lynn: “Let me guess… You’re here to give me some sort of warning..”

Lynn begins to circle Mysterio, who remains motionless.

Jerry Lynn: “Tell me how much better WCW is than the WWF? How much better the Cruiserweights are than the WWF Light-Heavyweights? How much better… you are than I am?”

Lynn continues to circle, and then stops, leaning in to the ear of Mysterio.

Jerry Lynn: “C’mon boy, spit it out!”

Mysterio slowly turns, getting face to face with Lynn.

Rey Mysterio: “I came here, because I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be!”

The crowd actually cheers.

Rey Mysterio: “I’m here to address the problem you seem to have with me. So here I am Jerry, the cruiserweight champ, what do you have to say to my face?”

Lynn smirks, eyeing Mysterio.

Jerry Lynn: “What do I have to say? All I have to say is, you’re… mine!”

Lynn suddenly swings at Mysterio, but the cruiserweight champ dodges the attack, and instead curls under tackling Lynn back in to the locker room, wall. The two men begin punching at each other, falling down on to the floor.

A herd of WWF officials and referees appear. X-Pac, Justin Credible, and Albert most notable stand with them, pulling Jerry Lynn off of Mysterio, and holding him back.

X-Pac: “Get that piece of crap out of here!”

X-Factor holds Lynn back, as officials walk Mysterio out of the room.

We cut to another part of the backstage area, where Rhyno has caught up with Dean Malenko. The two men are brawling with each other, with Rhyno getting in some stiff looking body jabs on the Hardcore Champion. Malenko grabs the hair of Rhyno, and brings his knee forward, crashing Rhyno in the gut.

Dean Malenko: “You want to challenge me for a match at Backlash?”

Malenko nails Rhyno again.

Dean Malenko: “I accept!”

Suddenly Rhyno comes back, upper-cutting Malenko in the jaw, sending him back. Rhyno runs forward, and tackles Dean to the ground, getting on top of him and driving his fist forward. Suddenly, a steel chair gets crashed over the back of Rhyno. The camera quickly pans back to reveal Chris Kanyon as it’s culprit. Rhyno rolls off of Malenko, clutching at his back. Kanyon helps Dean up, and both men begin to stomp away at Rhyno.

“Hey!”

Eddie Guerrero comes flying in to the picture, attacking Kanyon and Malenko. Guerrero stops his attack, as Malenko and Kanyon retreat, and checks on Rhyno, who sits up, and wipes away a bit of blood from his lip.

Eddie Guerrero: “You okay homes?”

Rhyno: “Fine..”

Rhyno breathes heavy, as the camera focuses in. We cut to the arena floor.

“Test! Test! This Is A Test!” Test’s theme music hits, and the fans give the young superstar a nice ovation. Test makes his way out from the back and heads towards the ring. He enters the ring, and raises his fist towards the fans.

“Latino Heat!” Eddie Guerrero’s theme music hits, and the fans erupt. The European Champion, Eddie Guerrero comes dancing out from the back, all smiles, the European Championship in hand. Guerrero struts down the entrance ramp, and enters the ring, taunting the crowd, and hyping them up.

Eddie Guerrero© vs. Test – Non-Title

Match Details: The reigning European Champion picked up the win after Test took a bit too long to capitalize following the big boot to the face of Guerrero. Eddie soon fought back with all he head, eventually bringing Test down to the mat with a Spinning Suplex. Guerrero then climbed the turnbuckle, getting a little froggy, and hit the Five Star Frog Splash for the win.

Winner: Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero’s theme music hit and the European Champion rolled out of the ring. Eddie gets handed his European Title, and begins to celebrate with the fans at ringside. Guerrero continues to celebrate up the ramp, and to the back.

We cut backstage where William Regal and Vince McMahon have been conversing.

Vince McMahon: “Now that I’ve decided to open up the flood gates, and allow WCW free roam over this dressing room, it’s up to me and you to make sure that through all of this, we remain somewhat.. civil."

William Regal: “oh you certainly don’t have to worry about that Mr. McMahon. If there’s anyone around here who’s civil, it’s me.”

Vince McMahon: “Good. Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you, have you seen Shane here tonight?”

William Regal: “Actually, I don’t think I have. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Vince McMahon: “Well, yes, but, I’d be lying if I said his absence doesn’t scare me a bit. He’s my son, and I know he’s smart enough to have something up his sleeve… Well then! Just keep an eye out won’t you?”

William Regal: “Yes, yes, certainly.”

Vince McMahon walks off.

William Regal: “Now he’s got me bloody worried.”

We cut to commercial.

--

We come back from commercial to find Michael Cole standing with WWF Intercontinental Champion, Chris Jericho. The fans cheer as Y2J appears on screen.

Michael Cole: “Chris Jericho, you requested this time to I suppose, direct some words towards your opponent tonight, Kurt Angle.”

Chris Jericho: “Well you see, that’s where you’d be wrong Mitchell. I didn’t request this time to talk about my match tonight with the Olympic Jackass, Kirk Angel. I requested these one hundred and twenty seconds to send a message out to one, Jeff Jarrett! You see Jeff Jarrett, it wasn’t that long ago when you first appeared as part of this Invasion. Hell, you were smart, you did so by taking out the greatest superstar in the WWF today, me! So, I want revenge. I want revenge so bad, I can taste it. I can taste the sweet retribution on my lips, as I think about getting my hands on you. So you see Double J, and by the way Mitchell Cole, what the hell does Double J stand for? Don’t tell me it’s Jeff Jarrett because that is just too unoriginal to be marketable. If you ask me, Double J stands for Jolly Jackass! Or Jumping Jack! Or-“

The camera pans back, as Jericho stops mid sentence. Kurt Angle stands looking at Chris Jericho. Michael Cole moves the microphone over to Angle.

Kurt Angle: “If you ask me, what you should be doing is readying yourself for the biggest butt kicking you’ve ever encountered. You’re worrying about next week, while you should be worrying about tonight. Because as I see it… you may not even make it to next week. Oh it’s true… It’s damn true!”

Kurt Angle walks away smirking, and Chris Jericho watches him go. Jericho sneers, before we cut to the arena floor.

Kurt Angle’s theme music hits, and the fans begin to boo. The Olympic Gold Medallist walks out from the backstage area, and walks down the ramp. He pauses and throws his hands in to the air, signaling for red, white, and blue pyro to explode from the stage. Angle enters the ring, doing his signature jumping spin taunt, and begin to pump himself up.

5,4,3,2,1

BOOM! Pyro explodes from the stage, the lights go out, and Y2J’s, theme music hits. The fans cheer as the lights come back on and Jericho stands, the Intercontinental championship around his waist, his back to the camera, and his arms outstretched. Jericho turns, and stares in to the sea of screaming Jeric-holics before walking down the ramp, and entering the ring.

Chris Jericho© vs. Kurt Angle – WWF Intercontinental Championship

Match Details: An amazing technical showdown. Both men went toe to toe, allowing their moves to do the talking. They told a great story, which saw Chris Jericho come out as the victor. It looked like things were going the Olympian’s way when he managed to get his knees up following a Lionsault attempt from Jericho. Angle capitalized, setting Jericho up for the Angle Lock submission, which he took a bit too much time doing. Kurt allowed his ego to get the best of him, slowly removing each strap on his singlet, and taunting the fans before latching on the hold. The delay allowed Jericho to gain back some energy allowing him to roll through sending Angle in to the ropes. Jericho jumped up, and as Kurt turned, Chris hit him with a spinebuster, which he quickly led in to the Walls of Jericho submission. Angle held out as long as he could, but eventually had to tap.

Winner: Chris Jericho©

We go to commercial with a shot of Chris Jericho celebrating in the ring with his Intercontinental Championship.

--

We come back from commercial to find the screen filled with the main gold plate of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The fans boo as the camera pans back, and Booker T stands backstage, the title over his should, staring off camera. Kevin Kelly appears next to Booker T.

Kevin Kelly: “Booker T, let me first thank you for joining me here this evening. Let me start off by asking about the reasoning behind attacking The Rock this last Thursday Night on Smackdown.”

Booker T: “You didn’t just ask that.. Tell me you didn’t just ask that!”

Kevin Kelly: “Well I-“

Booker T: “Let me explain something to you Kevin Kelly- No hold on. This ain’t right. This just ain’t right.”

Booker T suddenly shoves Kevin Kelly by the face out of the picture. Moments later Miss Hancock appears to the delight of the male audience, holding a microphone.

Miss Hancock: “Booker T, why don’t you explain to the world just how much more talented you are than The Rock.”

Booker T: “Well you see Miss Hancock I’m what you call, the true People’s Champion! I go out there every night and-“

Suddenly Miss Hancock screams and runs off. Booker T turns, and the camera catches The Big Show as he runs in. Booker T dodges the attack, as The Big Show crashes against some production trunks. Booker T runs off, as The Big Show stands back up.

We cut to the arena floor.

BOOM! Fire explodes from the stage, and the lights in the arena turn red. Kane’s music begins to blast throughout the arena, the fans cheer as this signals the start of the main event and arrival of the Brothers of Destruction.

ROLLIN! The Undertaker’s theme music cuts in, and the lights return to normal. The fans are in an uproar, as The Brother’s of Destruction appear on the Raw stage. They walk down the ramp, and enter the ring, both posing for the crowd, and hyping each other up.

The Power Trip’s theme music start’s up and the fans begin to boo heavily. Stone Cold is the first to emerge, the WWF title hanging off of his shoulder. Triple H follows, and than Vince McMahon. The trio make their way down the rampway, with Triple H talking trash to some fans, but Austin rolls right in to the ring.

Austin poses on the turnbuckle with his WWF championship in hand, and Triple H does his outstretched water spit pose on the apron.

The Power Trip vs. The Brothers of Destruction

Match Details: Four brawlers, four big names, plenty of sports entertainment. The fans ate this one up purely for the fact that four of the WWF’s biggest names were in one ring together. Stone Cold and Triple H recaptured some of the heat they’d been lacking since the start of the Invasion, cheating, and playing dirty. Kane and The Undertaker remained the top babyfaces in this encounter, with every reversal and striking move getting a big pop from the fans. The ending of the match came about when Triple H and The Undertaker began to battle on the outside. In the ring, Stone Cold awaited Kane to sit up following a previous knee to the face. The Big Red Machine sat up, turned, and was met with a kick to the gut followed by the stunner from Austin. That wasn’t enough for the World Champion, as he hoisted Kane up for a second stunner. Outside, Undertaker attempted to roll in to save his brother, but was stopped by Triple H who grabbed his legs. One, two, three. Stone Cold pins Kane.

Winners: The Power Trip

After the match, The Power Trips theme music began to play, and the fans began to boo heavily. Austin and Triple H began to celebrate in the ring, linking hands with Mr. McMahon and raising them triumphantly. On the outside, Undertaker patted Kane on the back, nodding encouragement to him.

Suddenly, Chris Kanyon and Jeff Jarrett are in the ring! The two WCW Invaders attack Stone Cold and Triple H from behind. Mr. McMahon is shocked as The Power Trip lays around him. Kane and The Undertaker quickly run back towards the ring, but Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell emerge from the crowd as well, cutting them off and sending them to the crowd.

Following The Stroke to Triple H, and The Kanyon Cutter to Stone Cold in the ring, and the Brothers of Destruction being sent in to the steel turnbuckle post, and the steel ring steps, it was down to Mr. McMahon, and the WCW Invaders.

Steiner, and Bagwell entered the ring, as Jarrett and Kanyon pushes The Power Trip to the arena floor. The four men began to taunt Vince McMahon, who himself, looked like he was ready for a fight.

“Woah! Woah! Woah!”

Shane McMahon appeared on stage.

Shane McMahon: “Don’t you guys touch my Pops!”

Shane McMahon walks down the ramp as the fans boo him. He enters the ring and joins Vince in the center.

Shane McMahon: “Easy Dad, you might give yourself a heart attack. You have nothing to worry about. Believe me, you’re not the one we’re looking to take out physically… Financially, and corporately is another story… I just wanted to come out here, and congratulate you Dad. Because for once, you did the right thing. Yeah, you did the right thing. You’ve decided to do what’s best for both of us, and accept our challenge…”

Rey Mysterio, Miss Hancock, and Booker T are shown walking out from the backstage area.

Shane McMahon: “Yeah, join us guys!”

The three arrivals join the group of WCW Invaders behind Shane McMahon.

Shane McMahon: “So Vince, I thought it’d be nice of me to give you one more look at my WCW… As it stands… right now. You see Vince, this…”

Shane gestures to the group behind him.

Shane McMahon: “This is just the beginning. Now that this war is on, it’s time to bring in the entire fleet. My WCW guys… Your WWF guys, and there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it!”

The fans boo.

Shane McMahon: “Oh, I almost forgot. You see Vince, I’m a pretty powerful guy, hell, I’m a McMahon. But even I, couldn’t orchestrate this whole thing by myself…No, I’ve had help… Allow me to introduce to you… the new CO-Owner! Of World Championship Wrestling!!”

Shane McMahon points towards the entry way.

“It’s Time To Play The Game!” Triple H’s old theme music hits, and Vince McMahon’s eye bulge. A spotlight hits the stage, and Stephanie McMahon comes waltzing out from the back. The fans immediately begin to boo, as the Billion Dollar Princess makes her way down to the ring.

On the rampway, Triple H has slowly stood, just as Stephanie McMahon has reached him. He looks at her shocked, and mouths the word “What?”. Stephanie smiles, leans forward, and kisses her husband on the cheek. Suddenly Steph steps back, and kicks Triple H right in the groin, sending him to the floor.

Back in the ring, Vince McMahon is still in shock. Stephanie enters the ring, and stares at her father, before shaking hands with Shane. Vince slowly drops to his knees, and rolls out of the ring. Stephanie and Shane pose in the ring, as Vince slowly walks up the ramp. He reaches the top, and stares back towards his children, and the WCW Coalition.

The last image we have is of WCW’s theme music kicking in, Shane and Stephanie raising eachothers hand, and WCW behind them.

Fade to black.

[Guest Nick7]

dang! this is even better than porn!

[tristy]

While I do like the way you're slowly but surely bringing in heavy hitters, the one thing that really bothers me while reading RAW was the fact that you couldn't really pin-point exactly how Triple H, The Undertaker, Vince, etc. all talked. The rest were fine, but I didn't like the way you did their promos. Nothing big, really. I'm sure as time goes on, you'll get into the groove of things and really hit it home with how they talk and whatnot.

All and all, good show, I must say. I half expected Triple H to be Shane's co-conspirator when you mentioned the music, but alas, it's my favorite McMahon, Stephanie. It was a shock, yeah. Just don't bring back ECW, for the love of god.

One other tiny complaint is the way you placed a Guerrero match right after a segment where he was god knows where backstage and helping Rhyno after he was brawling with Malenko.

It's the little things, I tell ya.

dang! this is even better than porn!

The show=fucking A. Great show, I;m sooo glad this was resurected. My fav Invasion diary...except an upcoming one....come on, I gotta whore sometime lol. Just joking bout the last part.

And BTW the new sig is great, Vince's face=priceless

[K.O.T.W]

It makes me want to watch my 2001 DVD's again, but then I realise how bad they are compared to the 2 InVasion diaries on this board..

..well, except for Jericho vs. Rock @ No Mercy and Austin Appreciation Night.

Great sigs aswell, they match the WWF.com Splash Page Images nicely. Where are you getting all the pics from though?

[D-Extreme]

I like the last show dude. But what makes me wonder about the new age outlaws is...Dogg is back..but why not with K-Kwik? Shall he be a part of the NAO somehow like Albert is in X-Factor?

Apart from that, holy s***! that was one hell of a RAW! Lynn-Mysterio confrontation was good.

New WWF Faction?

-Inside sources have informed me that X-Factor appearing with Jerry Lynn on Raw wasn't just a chance booking spot. Accourding to this source there's a new WWF faction planned with Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, X-Pac, and Albert. Of course, they could always just have Jerry Lynn join X-Factor, keeping the faction name. Speaking of Albert...

Management Seeking Improvments

-From what I've been gathering, it appears upper management (Vince McMahon?) has been reviewing some of the active roster, with the outcome probably being some active roster members being sent down to OVW. Some names that have come up have been Albert, Jacqueline, and Stone Cold's wife, Debra.

Paul Heyman To Leave Announce Booth?

-There's been talk of having Paul Heyman leave his position at the commentary booth to possibly return to managing. If this does happen some people who have been mentioned as possible replacements have been Tazz, Michael Cole, Jim Cornette, and even Mick Foley. Three of those four aren't bad.

Invasion To Hault?

-The WCW has been one of the main focuses of WWF television the last couple of weeks. WWF is actually planning to run this storyline for the next few months, and the feeling right now is they may have done too much too soon. From what I've heard however, the surprises aren't close to being over. So don't be surprised if the Invasion takes a backseat briefly.

Rob Van Dam Signed

-Talented, young, former ECW star, Rob Van Dam, has reportedly signed a two year deal with World Wrestling Federation. Congrats to R.V.D., no word on when he'll debut however.

The Rock To Miss Action?

-The attack The Rock suffered last week on Smackdown will apparently be the way the WWF keeps The Rock out of storylines, while he's away filming his new movie "Fury Family", an action, comedy film based around the characters of the hit sitcom Full House. Rock is expected to be gone a little over two months.

April 12th 2001

This past Monday on Raw, Shane McMahon once again shocked the wrestling community, as he announced to Vince McMahon, and the world that his sister, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley would be aiding him in the WCW Invasion, as Co-Owner of World Championship Wrestling.

The reunited husband/wife team didn't last long, as Stephanie delivered a devastating blow to her already hurt husband Triple H.

This Thursday, by order of Vince McMahon, Triple H will be given a shot to capture the WWF Intercontinental Championship, from Chris Jericho. Winning a title would probably do little to heal the scar of distrust from this past Monday. What will Triple H have to say towards his wife?

Also this Thursday, the WWF Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boys, will defend their belts against the team of Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws. The Outlaws reunited this past Monday on Raw, defeating Edge and Christian to win this title shot. Can the Outlaws continue their winning ways? Or will the Dudley's leave Smackdown still the champs?

All this and more on Smackdown!
