WWF RAW By Mike Stanton

WWE ID

Tribute to the passing of Davey Boy Smith. Dying before your 40 is horrid.

WWE RAW

RVD comes to the ring and gets beaten to death by UT...UT hits the ring and cuts the 'demands respect' promo, takes credit for beating Hogan for the belt...Ross lets us know he cheated, that RAT FINK SNITCH...So then RVD gets up, and Taker punks him out some more...Taker keeps talking, RVD gets back in the ring again, and UT promises him he deserves this beating...Instead RVD shitkicks UT and hits the 5 Star Frog Splash...UT bails while refs hold back RVD.

Taker gets booked Vs RVD by Flair, and Flair promises us a curveball for Austin...I'd try to put it in the dirt, don't leave anything in the zone with Austin, if you walk him, that's fine also.

HARDY BOYZ VS SHOW/X-PAC

The Human Props in the Booker T/Goldust/nWo passion play are the Hardy Boyz, who get offense when they fight X-Pac and get squished by Show...Show screws up and sells crotching himself, his first sell of the match, and then Booker accidently ax kicks him, and then ElvisDust runs in and makes the ref miss X-Pac's pin on Jeff...Jeff then pins X-Pac...Huzzah...

Paul Heyman declares he wants to bang Trish...Trish slaps him...And then prepares to be put in a Body Bag by Brock.

The nWo and Goldust bitch each other out...Booker then books himself/Goldust Vs the Hardyz TONIGHT, if I were Matt or Jeff I'd fight this as unfair booking. And since when did the nWo have power to book matches?

TRISH VS JACKIE

Jackie legsweeps Trish when Trish goes for her KICK OF DEATH, but the color team doesn't explain to the unwashed masses that Jackie has scouted Trish and knows counters to her moves. Trish gets the clean win with a move I did not see because the Sox were busy winning game #30 of the year (Love that Dirty Water!) And then they handshake. After the match Heyman and Brock come out, Brock gets ready to murder Trish when Bubba Dudley comes out to protect Trish and to be the next jobber to Brock...But Heyman calls off Brock, telling him to think about the money, because making the public WAIT for the Epic Bubba/Brock match will jack ratings and buy-rates THROUGH THE ROOF!!! Brock shoulda told Heyman "We're mid-card, we're not worth shit" and pushed him aside and then turned Bubba into mush...Alas he didn't.

Dreamer does disgusting things because he's just a disgusting guy...When the WWE came up with this gimmick I bet they were horrified at the idea that they would be crushed under endless seas of money, that they would be pleading with the WWE fans "QUIT GIVING US MONEY!!! WE CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO PUT IT ALL! ALL THE BANKS ARE FULL!" Or maybe they figured it would suck.

RVD vows DEATH to Undertaker.

WWE EURO TITLE MATCH STEVEN REGAL W/Molly VS BUBBA DUDLEY

Regal and Bubba plod about while the color team talk about Molly Holly and if she's gotten any or no...After a while Bubba gets some offense and tells himself to get the table...But gets sneak attacked and punked by Brock instead...And just to prove it wasn't a lone gunman, but rather a VAST CONSPIRACY...Regal delievers the FATAL HEADSHOT with knucks to the skull...For the 3 people reading this that never read me before, Kennedy Assassination references will be commonplace, nay, endless in my recappery...

Flair out, he waves off last night's loss because he wasn't the legal man...Yay Dusty Booking...He calls out Austin. Austin comes out...Flair says he's not gonna let Austin wrestle anymore on RAW...AND THE RATINGS SKYROCKET! Austin stunners both Flair and Anderson and pours beer on Flair...

Raven wonders out to do color for the next match. AND we get Booker's dealings with the rat from the PPV...HUZZAH!

HARDYZ VS GOLDUST/BOOKER

X-Pac kicks Goldust in the head and a Hardy Pins him...A 6 star classic! After the match the nWo falls apart...But then Nash comes out and sends Goldust packing and then solidifies the nWo as Nash/Show/X-Pac/Booker...Huzzah.

Austin gets drunk at a bar...

Raven hits the ring and calls out Lawler for a match, in Memphis...If this were Vegas you would have to wager 1,000,000,000,000 dollars to on Lawler to win 1,000,000,000,000.01...But hey, if you had the money, free penny...

RAVEN VS LAWLER

Standard old school match with Bodyslams, the King busting out a dropkick, and all that standard stuff...In the end Raven leaves the ring after he's taken to much of a beating from Lawler, and Lawler wins Via count out, this must be the start of an epic feud...Vegas wins zillions on those who bet "Lawler by Pinfall."

Austin at the Bar decides to sing a song, and Eddy hits him with a beer bottle after they have a chat...RAW IS ELEVATION!!

WWE WORLD TITLE MATCH UNDERTAKER VS RVD

RVD with quick offense to start, kick to the head and all that jazz...Ruckus and more ruckus to UT, who finally slows the match down to the crawl he enjoys more after a clothesline...RVD rallies but gets cut down by a kick to the head, UT removes the top turnbuckle pad from one of the corners...RVD mugged in that corner, but counters the chokeslam with a kick to the head of his own. UT then gets whipped into the padless corner and sells his spine breaking in two...Rolling Thunder, ref counts 3 but Taker's foot is on the ropes...Ross sells like it was the upset of the century...Which it ISN'T cause this is SO gonna get over turned...Yup, flag on the play...McGinnest was holding Faulk...BULLSHIT...We had the Rams beat DAMMIT...UT with the Last Ride...And he's declared the "NEW" WWE World Champion...So RVD was champ for a minute? I guess that's elevation for you...Ric Flair leaves the ring with his hair all messed up and looking kinda like a blonde Mark Cuban...

FINAL REVIEW

Ross sold RVD's win like it was a real big deal, and the fans bought it, they shoulda done it...Call it hot shotting, bitch all you want, but RVD stunning the World to win the WWE Title woulda been something to light a fire under this company's ass that has been lacking for a good long time...Instead we got RVD jobbing to UT and Eddy getting ready to job to Austin...Yay...
