We
start with a video recap of some of the greatest moments and images in
WWF History, including Hogan, Savage, Michaels, and Classie Freddie
Blassie, contrasted with the recent images of the Alliance's threat to
the future of the WWF. Stills of Angle nailing Austin with the belt and
Rock pinning to keep the WWF in business.
Earlier today, Vince's corporate jet landed in Charlotte, with Mick
waiting for him on the tarmac. Foley was told that Vince wanted to meet
with him in the jet. Vince munched on some cheese, while Foley asked for
Vince to name a chair in the jet for him. Vince suggested the "Dude
Love Toilet". Foley told Vince that he single-handedly took a guy
who would give his life for this business, and made him no longer care.
Foley no longer wants to be the WWF Commissioner. He resigns. Vince says
that Foley can't resign. Foley says that Vince might as well fire him,
because he will not leave this plane without their relationship
terminated. Vince wishes Foley good luck. "Oh, and have a nice
day".
The WWF Raw video rolls, the WWF pyro explodes, and the WWF's own Jim
Ross welcomes us to Charlotte, North Carolina. JR is sitting all alone,
with Paul Heyman effectively out of a job.
"No Chances" hits, and out comes WWF Chairman, Vince McMahon.
Despite Mick Foley's resignation, tonight is a night for celebration!
The World Wrestling Federation survived Survivor Series, and with that
in mind, we owe one man a debt of gratitude that we may never be able to
repay; a man who showed his true colors, who deserves our applause: Kurt
Angle!
Because of Kurt Angle, the Alliance is dead. ECW is dead; WCW is dead.
The only remnant is the title belt wrapped around The Rock's waist. From
this night forward, it will no longer be the WCW Title, but the World
Title. That's not the only drastic change that we will see tonight.
One change will be, the first Vince McMahon Kiss-My-Ass club. Vince will
allow one member of the Alliance who wishes the most to remain employed.
That person will walk into the ring, and literally kiss Vince's ass.
Speaking of the Alliance, that's nothing compared to what is in store
for the leader of the Alliance. The moment Stone Cold walks into this
building, Vince will execute his master plan. It will be a grand night.
Speaking of changes, we must notice that there is an empty chair next to
Jim Ross. So let's address that empty chair. Just to show that he's not
a tyrant, Vince would like to invite Paul Heyman to the ring.
Heyman marches down the ramp, wearing a WWF Attitude hat of course. He
takes a seat next to JR, yelling that he "got away with it!".
Vince tells Paul to get in the ring. Vince appreciates people that speak
their minds. Vince is alright with the things Paul said the other night.
After all, Vince is a First Amendment advocate. So he is using his First
Amendment rights to tell Heyman: "You're Fired!"
Heyman starts hopping around like he wants to fight, but as soon as
Vince takes off his jacket, Heyman bolts out of the ring. He starts to
leave, but then jumps over the table to attack JR. JR pulls Heyman down
and starts pounding away on him! JR clubs away on Heyman until Security
drag him away.
As Heyman is dragged up the ring, Vince announces Paul's replacement:
Jerry "The King" Lawler! The King Reigns Supreme Once More!
Lawler comes out to a huge standing ovation. Fade Out.
Lita comes out, with Matt hobbling alongside. The new WWF Women's
Champion, Trish Stratus, makes her way out, allowing Lawler to pick up
right where he left off.
Side headlock by Trish, but Lita spears her down. Sunset Flip by Lita
1-2-kickout. Trish catapults Lita into the ropes and then scoop slams
her. Inside cradle by Lita 1-2-kickout.
Clothelsines by Lita, then a flapjack 1-2-shoulder up. Mounted punches
by Lita, then a hard clothesline in the corner. Lita runs at Trish, but
she gets her leg up and kicks Lita down hard. Trish goes second rope and
misses the elbow drop.
Lita goes up for the moonsault, but Trish pushes her off the 'buckle
tothe barrier outside. Matt helps her up, but Trish baseball slides into
both of them! Matt picks up Lita and puts her into the ring. Trish picks
up the dazed Lita and backslides her 1-2-3!
Afterwards, both Matt and Lita argue, holding their mouths from the
baseball slide.
In the back, what is left of the Alliance are meeting with Vince. Vince
looks at the Tag Champions, the European Champion, the Hardcore
Champion, and the winner of the Immunity Battle Royal. Vince invited RVD
to join the WWF some time ago, but he turned Vince down. Not that he
holds any grudges, but tonight, RVD will participate in a handicap Tag
Team Tables Match against the Dudley Boyz. After the other Alliance
members leave, Christian tells Vince that he's proud to be the WWF
European Champion, and that it's an honor to be working with Vince
again, but Vince dimisses Christian immediately. Fade Out.
RVD makes his way out, by way of being the WWF Hardcore Champion. The
D-Bombs drop, and the Dudleys come out with Stacy, as the Undisputed Tag
Team Champions.
The Dudleys extend their hands, as if to say that they don't want to
fight, but then D-Von pounds RVD in the back. Crossbody by RVD on both
Dudleys. RVD ducks, and D-Von clotheslines BuhBuh down. Scoop slam by
RVD, followed with Rolling Thunder, but BuhBuh hits the Full Nelson
Bomb.
Chops by BuhBuh, but RVD spears BuhBuh. D-Von comes back with a
neckbreaker from the second rope. BuhBuh gets a table and brings it into
the ring, as does D-Von. BuhBuh places his table in the corner, while D-Von's
is set in the middle of the ring.
They look for the 3D, but RVD grabs the ropes and tosses D-Von over the
top. Spinning heel kick to BuhBuh. RVD takes the table out of the corner
and sets in in the ring as well. RVD gets a chair and hits the Van
Daminatior to BuhBuh! D-Von comes in and pikcs up RVD, but RVD flips
over and spin kicks BuhBuh onto a table. He goes up top, but on the
opposite corner of D-Von! He leaps for the Five Star all the way across
the ring, but D-Von moves and RVD smashes through the table!
But remember, you have to be put through a table by your opponents. So
they pick up RVD and 3D him onto the table, and then 3D him again, this
time through the table.
In the back, Kurt Angle arrives with a big smile on his face. A worker
asks how Kurt is doing. Kurt says that he single-handedly saved the WWF.
He's the man responsable for this guy still having his job. How's he
doing? He's doing freaking great! Angle asks where the Rock's room is,
and goes off to find him. Fade Out.
him. Like, "thank you, Kurt, for saving my job, for keeping the WWF
is business". Rock may have gotten the pinfall, but Kurt is the
reason it happened.
Rock says that he would have beaten Austin on his own. When did Angle
plan to let the rest of Team WWF in on that plan? For one month, Angle
went around, bashing the WWF in the heads with chairs, just to have this
one selfish moment.
Angle says that it was worth it. Rock smiles and says that it was well
worth it, bashing the Rock for an entire month to save the company. But
now that the company is saved, why doesn't Angle try to beat up on the
Rock some more? Angle says fine, so long as it's for the new World
Championship. Now that he's saved the company, he has no problem beating
up Rock just for fun.
Angle goes to leave, but Rock calls him back in. Angle may have a lot of
people fooled with this "saving the day" Kurt Angle, but Rock
will never trust Vince McMahon, and looking into Kurt's eyes, he doesn't
trust Angle either. Kurt's no savior; he's an asshole.
We cut to the garage, where a car pulls up, and Shane and Stephanie get
out. Steph couldn't believe that they had to drive themselves. She asks
if Shane thinks Vince told them to come so that they'd get their jobs
back. Shane doesn't know, but they go in anyway. Fade Out.
We come back, with Vince already in the ring. There is much more
business to conduct tonight, he says. Stone Cold is not here as of yet,
but he did see two people who did arrive. He requests that Shane and
Steph come to the ring right now. No music, no fanfare, just his
children.
Shane and Steph come out on the stage and then down to the ring. Vince
is so proud as a father to hear a jam-packed arena yell "slut"
to his daughter. What has happened to this family? Before he gives the
two of them a piece of his mind, he'll give them an opportunity to speak
theirs, starting with Shane.
Shane congratulates his father. Vince won, and Shane lost. He lost to
the better man. With that, Shane drops the mic and walks off up the
ramp, leaving Steph all alone.
She starts by saying that she's made some really really bad mistakes,
but she's young and naive. The biggest mistake she made was listening to
Shane. This whole thing was Shane's idea! Shane made her buy ECW to run
the WWF out of business. Shane is the one that had her slap Linda. Shane
grabbed Linda and yelled at Steph to slap her. And when she told Vince
that she wanted him to die, that was all Shane's idea. She doesn't want
her daddy to die! She loves him! The only thing that Shane said that
wasn't a mistake was what he just said now: Vince is the better man.
Vince is a genius. The only thing she has left to say is: "I'm
sorry."
She gives her father those puppy-dog eyes, but Vince calls for Security.
They come into the ring, and Steph grabs on to her father's leg! They
pry her off and drag her out of the ring. Vince calls for them to stop,
but only so the fans can say goodbye to "daddy's little girl".
Fade Out.
In the back, Vince is on the phone, reiterating to someone that someone
will literally be kissing his ass to get a job. Jericho comes in and
Vince asks for just one explanation why Jericho would risk putting the
WWF out of business just to attack the Rock. Jericho says that his ego
got the best of him. He's sorry. Vince says that the appology must be
sincere, and he can tell that it is. But he doesn't like guys with big
egos. So we'll take Jericho's massive ego, put it in the ring, with a
massive wrestler: Kane.
Mr. T is at ringside! Whoo for Inspector Collect! I pity the fool who
don't read The Raw Report!
Anyway...Rock makes his way down to the ring for the first ever match
for the "World Championship". Angle comes out and goes right
at Rock.
Stomps by Angle, but Rock knocks him down. Samoan Drop, followed with
mounted punches by Rock. Kick to the face by Rock, but Angle tosses him
over the top to the outside.
Back inside, Angel hits a back suplex 1-2-shoulder up. Angle looks for
the AngleLock, but Rock flips over and kicks Angle away. Belly-belly by
Angle, followed by some stomps. Angle chokes Rock on the ropes, but Rock
fights back, only to get caught in a German Suplex, then another, then
another 1-2-shoulder up!
Mounted punches by Angle, then a scoop slam. Angle goes up top, but Rock
'buckles him and hits a Back Superplex. Both men go down. Hebner begins
the count, getting up to six before they get up.
Exchange of punches, with Angel scoring a short clothelsine, but Rock
pops up and starts laying the smack down. Belly-belly throw by Rock,
then a DDT 1-2-shoulder up!
Angle rakes Rock's eyes, allowing him to regain some control, but Rock
spinebusters him down. He waits for Angle to get up and stumble into the
Rock Bottom, but Angle ducks and hits the Olympic Slam! Angle drops the
straps and goes for the AngleLock, but Rock rolls the hold, locking
Angle's legs 1-2-3! The Rock retains!
Angle attacks Rock afterwards, but gets a Rock Bottom in addition to the
loss. Jericho runs down the ramp and pounds away on Jericho. Jericho
pushes Hebner away, allowing Angle to swoop in and get the AngleLock.
Angle leaves after a while, letting Jericho lock in the Walls on Rock.
Jericho fights off some refs and gets the Walls in again! Jericho
finally has had enough and leaves Rock crawling around in the ring. Fade
Out.
Vince comes out and says that, since we're still waiting for Austin to
arrive, we'll bide our time by finding out which Alliance wrestler Vince
has given the choice of kissing Vince's ass or losing their job. That
man is: William Regal!
Regal gets into the ring and asks if Vince wants him to get his bags, or
get some coffee, or something. VInce reiterates that the only way to
gain employment will be to literally kiss his ass. Yes or no, Regal? Yes
or no?
"...yes..."
Vince takes his jacket off and tells Regal to get down on his knees.
Regal gets behind Vince and takes a knee. Vince sticks his ass out and
tells Regal to pucker up.
No, wait.... wait a minute. Vince unbuckles his belt and pulls down his
pants, revealing some nice black briefs. No, wait... it gets better.
Vince pulls down the back of his underwear and exposes his bare ass to
Regal. No, wait... He gives Regal some chap stick, because Vince's ass
is very sensitive. Vince bends over, and Regal gives the ass a peck! He
kissed Vince's bare ass!
In the back, Regal walks through the halls, yelling at everyone who
looks at him. Tazz comes up and stares at Regal. "What a
kiss-ass!" Tazz walks off, only for Regal to attack him from
behind.
In the arena, the Y2J Countdown hits 0.00, and out comes the Ayatollah.
Kane comes down, but Jericho attacks right away.
Flapjack by Kane, then a clothesline. Kane tosses Jericho into the
corner and elbows away on him. Big boot by Jericho, who floats over Kane
and pulls him down. Jericho pulls Kane to the apron and elbows down on
him. Catapult into the ropes by Jericho.
Neckbreaker by Jericho, then another. Jericho goes for the Lionsault and
gets it, but Kane puts his arm up and catches Jericho in a choke. Low
blow by Jericho, who then hits a bulldog. Jericho goes out and brings in
a chair.
Kane with a big boot to Jericho, then a clothesline in the corner.
Tilt-a-whirl slam by Kane, who goes up top for the Flying Clothesline,
but Jericho grabs the chair and nails Kane with it in mid-air! As the DQ
Bell rings, Jericho nails Kane again and then locks in the Walls! Fade
Out.
In the back, Angle is storming the halls. He finds Edge and asks for a
thank you. Edge shows Angle his two Title belt. He saved his own ass
last night. But Edge thinks he knows Angle. Angle was in a no-lose
situation last night. He could sit back if the Alliance was winning, or,
if they were losing, come back and "save the day". Angle
didn't do this for Edge, or anyone in the WWF. Once again, Angle was
acting just for himself. Fade Out.
Regal comes down, followed by Tazz, who was "retained for his
announcing services".
Tazz jumps Regal and brawls in the corner, then clotheslines Regal down.
He locksin the Tazzmission, but Regal smashes him into the corner.
Stomps by Regal, who locks in the Regal Stretch, forcing Tazz to tap
out. Of course, Regal continues with the hold well after the bell has
rung, just to get his point across.
In the back, Angle is sitting, dejected, when Vince comes in. Angle says
that no one has shown him any appreciation for what he did. Vince says
that he'll show Vince some apprectiation: how would Angle like to be the
WWF Champion? Vince puts the WWF Title belt around his shoulder and
tells Angle to come down to the ring with him. Fade Out.
"Medal" hits, and out comes Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon, with
Vince shining up the WWF Title belt.
On behalf of every fan in this arena, Vince thanks Kurt Angle. Let's
restate that: on behalf of every person in this arena, Vince thanks
Kurt. As an Olympic Hero, and American Hero, and a WWF Hero, Kurt is
also Your Hero. And since Stone Cold Steve Austin has chosen to not show
up the night after being defeated, like always, Austin can stay where
ever he is right now.
We need a Champion with dignity, class, credibility... we need Kurt
Angle as the WWF Champion. Vince wanted Austin to be here so Vince could
strip him of the belt, but instead, as the sole owner of the WWF...
Dun...Dun...Dun... Dun Dun!
WHOO!!!!!! It's The Nature Boy, Ric Flair! Flair struts down the ramp
and gets in the ring! Vince almost forgot, which makes sense since Flair
is almost forgotten, that this is Flair's hometown. But this is Vince's
ring, and he demands an explanation.
The explanation, Flair says, is that he bet on a winner. WHOO! Kurt has
Olympic gold, a legacy... this is no way to get the WWF Title. Vince
says that it's great that Flair came down to give an opinion, but he
better leave now.
Flair says that he won't leave, because when Shane and Steph sold their
stock to that "consortium", the consortium was him! Now Vince
and Flair are partners! WHOO!
The glass breaks and Austin marches down to the ring. He makes a
bee-line to Angle and stomps away on him! Vince tries to pry Austin off,
so Austin starts pummeling Vince! Angle pulls Vince from the ring and
they run back up the ramp, leaving Austin and Flair in the ring.
Austin stares at Flair, who is holding the WWF Title. Austin takes the
belt from Flair and places it on his shoulder, eliciting a huge smile
from Flair. Austin breaks out the beer, tosses one to Flair and they
toast! Oh Hell Yeah! WHOO! End Show.
