21:00-21:03[/color] - A video package airs, recapping us from last Monday night's edition of RAW is WAR, as it featured a heated promo featuring Triple H, the WWF Champion, as he bragged about his previous victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin, at No Mercy. He was interrupted by The Rock, who then challenged Triple H to a match at Survivor Series. Vince McMahon then confirmed it for the Survivor Series! Later on in the show, it was Stone Cold who went on a wild goose chase, to find McMahon, as he got what he wanted, and that was a contenders match against The Big Show, the winner joining Triple H and The Rock in the WWF Championship match! This happened on SmackDown, as Austin came out victorious!
-
21:03-21:04 - The opening RAW video package airs, as it involves numerous WWF superstars. We then cut to the live arena, as pyrotechnics go off, and the audience are going insane for action from the World Wrestling Federation! Jim Ross and Jerry "King" Lawler introduce us to the show and preview us for tonight's jam-packed edition of RAW is WAR on USA Network, live!
-
21:04-21:15[/color] - The theme of Stone Cold Steve Austin played throughout the arena, as the audience went ballistic, one of the contenders to the WWF Championship storming dwon the rampway, wearing his usual shorts and shirt, with baseball cap, as he climbed into the ring, taunting to the adoring audience! Austin's name is chanted, as Stone Cold began to talk about how he was sneaked into defeat at No Mercy, he was humiliated at No Mercy, and all of that happened on the terms of bullsh*t! Austin rants, saying that he knows aswell as Triple H and everybody in this arena knows, that Triple H took a sneaky route to victory on October 17th was because he knew that Austin would of kicked his ass and pinned him for the title! The Rock's theme then played throughout the arena, as the other contender to the WWF Championship, Rock made his way out to the arena! The fans chanted 'Rocky', as he hyped up Survivor Series' main event for the WWF Championship as being one of the biggest matches in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. Rock says that Stone Cold Steve Austin can walk on by and say 'gimme a hell yeah' and everybody could pretend that they care about his rebellious attitude, or they could look up at the top rope, and smell some pie, made by the People's Champion! The fans chanted louder, as Rock began to say that him and Austin may not like each other, and that is fine, considering the hell they put each other through earlier in the year, but tonight they have an obstacle in their way of victory, and his name is Mankind! Rock tells Austin that tonight, his friend Mankind gets a title shot against Triple H, and they have to band together and his chances of winning the title, and it'll be a big sacrifice to make but he will understand. He is willing to give Stone Cold a little rattle, since he is a Texas Rattlesnake, just so he can get mowed down by The Rock in nearly four weeks! Austin agrees, as Rock goes to say his catchphrase, 'If You Smell...What The Rock...Is Cooking!", but is cut off by "And That's the Bottom Line, 'Cos Stone Cold Said So!" Both men get in a staredown from distance!

Match #1: D'Lo Brown defeated Prince Albert with Big Bossman to retain the WWF European Championship[/color] - This was a fairly decent opening contest, to start off this edition of WWF RAW is WAR inside of the ring, as it featured D'Lo Brown, not accompanied by any hoes or The Godfather tonight, as he defended his title against Prince Albert, as WWF Hardcore Champion, Big Bossman, watched on. Albert went for the torture rack facebuster, but D'Lo slipped out, hitting a spinebuster on D'Lo before coming off of the top with the Lo Down, for the win!

-
21:25-21:27[/color] - D'Lo Brown celebrates with his successfully defended WWF European Championship, before he is attacked from behind, by Big Bossman!

The Godfather then appears, aswell as Mark Henry and Steve Blackman, all three of them walking down the rampway! Godfather takes down Albert with a clothesline, as Steve Blackman super kick's Bossman to the canvas, both men fleeing from the ring!

21:27-21:28[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as Test is shown, Stephanie McMahon on his arm, as she seems baffled by what he is going to do. He tells Stephanie to just wait and see for herself.
-
21:28-21:32[/color] - Commercial break.
-
21:32-21:33[/color] - We go to the interview area, as Kevin Kelly is standing by with a seemingly angered Viscera. There is no Mideon by his side tonight, however, as Viscera talks agressively [and at the same time, charismatically] about D'Lo Brown, The Godfather and Mark Henry, saying that all three seem to like getting in his way! And now Steve Blackman too? Viscera tells us that him, Mideon, Prince Albert and Big Bossman have thought of something. Eight-man elimination match for the Survivor Series! Viscera finishes it, saying accept if they dare fight four angered men!
-
21:33-21:36[/color] -
Match #2: Ivory defeated The Fabulous Moolah with Mae Young to win the WWF Womens Championship[/color] - This was an awful match-up here, as it featured the former WWF Womens Champion challenging for the title she lost eight days ago, against an elderly woman, yet a legendary female wrestler in professional wrestling. Ivory delivered alot of shots poorly sold by Moolah, as she was given a backdrop, aswell as a few shots. Ivory clotheslined her in the corner, none of the best stuff in the world. Mae Young could do nothing but watch on, and a snap DDT on Moolah forced Mae to throw in the towel, literally!
DUD-
21:36-21:37[/color] - Ivory begins to celebrate with her newly regained WWF Womens Championship, as Mae Young and Chad Patton attended to the unconscious Fabulous Moolah!

21:42-21:49[/color] -
Match #3: Edge and Christian defeated The Acolytes with Gangrel[/color] - This was a solid tag team match-up here, as it featured the new found friends of the WWF Tag Team Champions, the Hardy Boyz, trying to get revenge on the trio that beat them down last Thursday on UPN SmackDown, as Edge and Bradshaw started things off inside the ring. Edge had alot of offense, using a fast-paced hit-and-run strategy to try and keep on top of the larger Bradshaw. Faarooq eventually got the tag, however, as The Acolytes pounded away at Edge with hard-hitting stiff attacks. Faarooq seemed to be ready to finish it, with a Dominator, but Edge speared him to the canvas, and tagged in Christian! Christian and Edge double-teamed both Acolytes, Edge knocking Gangrel off of the apron! Bradshaw went for the Clothesline From Hell, but Christian ducked, rolling him up for the sneaky win!

They ran down the rampway, chairs in hand, as they scared off the trio! Jeff and Matt attended to their fallen comrades in the ring!

21:55-21:57[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as Chris Jericho is shown talking to Howard Finkel, as he is sipping on some coffee. Jericho tosses it at Howard, as he complains, saying that it has a bad taste. Jericho tells Curtis Hughes to get him another coffee - a better one, as he obeys. Jericho talks to Finkel about Mankind for a minute, before asking Howard where the hell Curtis is with his coffee. That's when we pan to the hallway, as Mankind has knocked Hughes to the concrete in the hallway! Jericho runs behind Finkel, using Howard as a shield, comically.

21:57-22:02[/color] -
Match #4: Chyna defeated Hardcore Holly with Crash Holly in a non-title contest[/color] This match was fairly decent, but it wasn't too special, as it featured the WWF Intercontinental Champion, Chyna, taking on one-half of the Holly Cousins, Hardcore. Crash was observing from ringside, comically in possession of a notepad. Hardcore got in some nice offense against the 'Ninth Wonder of the World', but Chyna managed to regain momentum eventually. Holly did get in a sound dropkick, I liked that. But eventually, Hardcore was distracted by Crash, as he seemed to put his hand up for questions from teacher Hardcore. Chyna came from behind, nailing a Pedigree on Holly for the win!

-
22:02-22:04[/color] - Val Venis walks out after Chyna's victory, as she picks up the WWF Intercontinental Championship and watches him. Venis talks about Chyna being very man-like. Venis has Chyna's bag in his hand! Venis pulls out a strap-on vibrator, aswell as a condom! Chyna looks pissed, as she rolls out of the ring to go after Venis, Val throwing the condom in her face and running up the rampway in laughter!

22:08-22:13[/color] -
Match #5: Too Cool defeated Kane in a handicap match[/color] - This was meant to be a tag team match here, as Scott Taylor and Brian Christopher resurfaced as the ultra hip duo of 'Scotty 2 Hotty' and 'Grandmaster Sexay'. These two were still manhandled by Kane in the opening few minutes of the match, as these two party-boys didn't seem to pose as a threat to the 'Big Red Monster'. Kane delivered a double Chokeslam on Sexay [pronounced 'Sex-Ay'] and Scotty 2 Hotty, before going to cover, but an obese cameraman appeared in the ring! He struck Kane with a camera to the skull, but the referee seemed reluctant to disqualify, as the cameraman left the ring, unmasking to reveal the man formerly known as 'Fatu'! Scotty and Sexay dog-piled on top of Kane for the win!
**[/color]
-
22:13-22:14[/color] - Too Cool celebrated, as Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay joined the artist formerly known as 'Fatu' at ringside. They called him 'Rikishi Phatu' as the trio backed up the rampway!

22:14-22:18[/color] - Commercial break.
-
22:18-22:22[/color] -
Match #6: Test defeated British Bulldog in a no-disqualification match[/color] - This was a solid match-up here, even if it was pretty short. It featured Test being accompanied by his former fiancé, Stephanie McMahon, as he was out here, looking for retribution on the man that gave his possible future wife, Stephanie amnesia, whilst on tour in the United Kingdom, at Rebellion. Test had alot of offense in this one, as Bulldog seemed a little bit cowardly here, running away from Test's numerous methods at attacks. Test eventually nailed a pumphandle slam, before rolling out of the ring, grabbing a real hard trash can! And this one wasn't made of metal/tin-foil, as Test slammed it right into the temple of Bulldog, Test finishing it off right there and then!
**3/4[/color]
-
22:22-22:24[/color] - Test begins to celebrate his hard-fought victory over British Bulldog, as he leaves the ring, Stephanie McMahon clapping quickly from ringside, as Test wrapped his arms around her. Test then took a box from ring announcer, Lilian Garcia, as he got on one knee, Stephanie McMahon shocked! The Mean Street Posse then suddenly jump Test from behind, stomping away at Test, as McMahon is defenseless! British Bulldog wraps his arm around Stephanie, taking her hostage, celebrating with the Posse!
-
22:24-22:25[/color] - We go to the office of Vince McMahon, as he is yelling at one of his road agents, yelling at him to try and get Stephanie McMahon away from British Bulldog and the Mean Street Posse immediately!
-
22:25-22:28[/color] - Commercial break.
-
22:28-22:35[/color] -
Match #7: New Age Outlaws defeated The Dudley Boyz[/color] - This was a solid tag team contest here, as it featured two solid midcard teams, both of which have alot of credibility and I could see a future WWF Tag Team Championships reign in the Dudley Boyz' future. I can sense it, may not be soon, but in time. Billy Gunn and D-Von Dudley started off, as the duo traded back and forth shots to each other, hard-hitting brawl style here to kick off the match. Road Dogg then got the tag, as he came in, and then Buh-Buh Ray came in also, both of those two trading shots. It was very fast-paced, to add to all of this. Billy Gunn eventually got the tag, as he came in and cleared house of Buh-Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley, nailing the Fame-Asser on D-Von for the win!
**3/4[/color]
-
22:35-22:37[/color] - New Age Outlaws celebrate following their victory here on RAW is WAR! The announcers meanwhile, hype for the upcoming main event, Mankind taking on Triple H for the WWF Championship!
-
22:37-22:41[/color] - Commercial break.
-
22:41-22:56[/color] -
Match #8: Triple H defeated Mankind to retain the WWF Championship[/color] - This was a perfect way to close down this edition of WWF RAW is WAR, as it featured Mankind challenging for the WWF Championship in which Triple H has possession of. Numerous times during this match, we cut to the backstage area, as Big Show, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were all watching on at different locations! Triple H started off the match, just dying to get the bout over and done with. Unfortunately for the WWF Champion, Mankind just wouldn't give up, much like many of the other times this has happened. Mankind seemed to of had this match won on numerous occasions, but Triple H just kept getting his shoulder up before a three-count went down from Earl Hebner. Mankind shoved Mr Socko down Triple H's gullet, but that didn't work, Mankind went Cactus Jack and planted a double-arm DDT on the champ, but that didn't work either. Nothing seemed to work. The referee was eventually bumped by Hunter, as Mankind seemed to be in trouble, Triple H standing over him with a sledgehammer in hand! But the New Age Outlaws then ran down to the ring, to the rescue! They scare Triple H to the outside, but then Billy Gunn takes the sledgehammer and strikes Mankind with it! The crowd boo, as X-Pac runs down to the ring, too! He goes to attack New Age Outlaws, but then roundhouse kicks Mankind down again! Triple H grins, as he climbs into the ring and hugs his former D-Generation X buddies, as he plants Mankind with a Pedigree! Triple H covers, one-two-three!
***1/2[/color]
-
22:56-22:58[/color] - Triple H, Billy Gunn, X-Pac and Road Dogg of the seemingly reunited D-Generation X celebrate in the ring, the WWF Championship held high! That's when Stone Cold Steve Austin, Big Show and The Rock all come down to the ring! They all go after the reunited D-Generation X as RAW is WAR goes off the air![/font]
