Raw is War

Cincinatti, Ohio
November 13, 2000

RAW kicked off live from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, less than one week away from Survivor Series!

Federation Champion Kurt Angle came out to the squared circle and told the crowd that he would prove that he is the greatest champion in Federation history by defeating the Undertaker at Survivor Series! In addition, Angle said he would put his title on the line against a man who said he could beat Angle with one hand tied behind his back! 

Immediately, Crash, accompanied by his cousin Molly Holly, came to the ring with his hand tied behind him! Angle beat Crash down, but when his back was turned, Crash got up and untied his hand and started beating on the Champion! Angle recovered and started throwing Crash around the ring. At one point, Molly got up on the ring apron, distracting Angle, and nearly allowing Crash to get the win! Angle kicked out, and pinned Crash for the win. After the match, Angle got a steel chair and started pummeling Crash! Just then, Crash's cousin Hardcore Holly ran out and beat Angle away. As Hardcore beat on Angle, Edge and Christian ran out to even the odds in Kurt's favor. And then the Undertaker ran out! The Dead Man took out Edge and Christian, forcing Kurt Angle to run to the back!

At Commissioner Mick Foley's office, Edge, Christian and Kurt complained about the interference that had just happened. Foley understood the injustices that had happened, so he decided to book a match that would feature no interference - a six-man tag team match pitting Edge, Christian and Angle against Crash, Hardcore and the Undertaker!

After losing a coin toss earlier, Test joined Kane to take on Steven Blackman and Chris Jericho in a Hardcore Tag Team match-up. As the match began, Jericho and Kane began brawling on the rampway. As the brawl got closer to the ring, Blackman joined in on the beating. Test cam in to save his partner, but got clobbered with a street sign instead! The physical match went back and forth, with both teams exchanging blows, until Test accidentally hit Kane with a kendo stick, allowing Y2J to hit the lionsault on the Big Red Machine for the pin! Afterwards, an angry Kane chokeslammed Test.

The newly reformed Radicalz came out to explain their recent actions. Chris Benoit said that now that he has seen how great Triple H is, he could respect him. He said that the four Radicalz have come up with a plan - joining and helping the Game! Eddie Guerrero grabbed the microphone and asked Chyna how it felt to be dumped by not only him, but Triple H as well! Then, Mick Foley came out to address the Radicalz!

Foley pointed out that he got the Radicalz into the Federation to begin with, only to be stabbed in the back! Mick said he took it back then because he had too, but now, he has the power! So he put the Radicalz in a match against "The One" Billy Gunn, Chyna, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin!

In the arena hallway, Kane took his frustrations out on Chris Jericho, throwing him into and through everything he could find!

In a physical tag team match, the Dudley Boyz faced Tazz and Raven. The two teams took it to each other fiercely, but Tazz and Raven seemed to be arguing with each other as the match went on. As they both went to hit D-Von, they ran into each other instead! Buh Buh entered the ring and nailed both Tazz and Raven and then instructed D-Von to get a table! But Tazz and Raven got up and went to get a table themselves. As Raven went to hit Buh Buh, he accidentally hit Tazz again, allowing the Dudleyz to hit Tazz with a 3-D for the pin! After the match, Tazz took his frustrations out on Raven and tossed him through the table!

In the Radicalz locker room, they group of friends admired the spread of fruit before them. Dean Malenko took a bite, but the others thought it would be better to order out.

As Michael Cole got ready to interview Tiger Ali Singh and Lo Down, The Rock walked by. Cole ran over and told him about his match later against the Radicalz and that Rikishi was gone because he was being treated for a broken nose. So The Rock went through a list of different gifts that he was going to give each of the Radicalz! Then The Rock said he had a special gift for Rikishi-one he would give him at Survivor Series!

In six-man tag action, Crash, Hardcore Holly and Taker took on Edge, Christian and Federation Champion Kurt Angle. Hardcore Holly immediately went after Angle, seeking revenge for when Angle broke his arm earlier this year. Angle managed to crawl back into his corner to tag in Christian as Hardcore tagged Taker. The teams continued the battle until Kurt Angle and the Undertaker both tagged in. Taker nailed the champion with punch upon punch, until finally chokeslamming him and giving him the Last Ride for the win!

Stone Cold Steve Austin came out to the ring and said he needed to be very careful with what he was going to say so he doesn't use profanity - because he was so mad that all he could think of were four-letter words. Austin said that Triple H was at home nursing a bad back - which was too bad, because they could have ended their problems right then! The Rattlesnake said that he could have run the Game over with a car, but that would have been too easy. So instead, Austin said he would just beat Triple H badly at Survivor Series!

In a six-person tag team match-up, Bull Buchanan and the Goodfather put their Tag Team Titles on the line and Ivory put her Women's Title on the line against the Hardy Boyz and Lita. If either Hardy pinned one of the current champions, they won the Tag Title. If Lita pinned Ivory, she would be the Women's Champion. The Goodfather, Bull and Ivory took it to Team Xtreme, until Lita was able to hit a moonsault on Ivory. It appeared Lita would get the win, but the Goodfather interfered! The Hardy Boyz had many near-falls, but interference by a member of the Right to Censor would break up the count! Eventually, the Goodfather got his team disqualified by hitting Jeff Hardy with his title. After all was said and done, the Right to Censor retained their titles, while continuing to beat on the Hardyz and Lita after the match had ended.

In the Radicalz locker room, the food they ordered earlier had finally arrived. As they were about to sit and eat, Benoit finished a conversation on the phone, telling the person on the other end that the Radicalz had gotten the match, just as they expected!

In a European Title match, William Regal put his title on the line the Road Dogg. The two didn't waist any time and went at it right away. Regal put a bruising on the Dogg until K-Qwik ran out and hit Regal with his microphone! K-Qwik told the Dogg to stop fighting and get rapping! The duo then rocked the house with their new song "Gettin' Rowdy."

Michael Cole asked Stone Cold Steve Austin about his match against the Radicalz coming up. Austin was very quiet and told Cole that he had a funny feeling in his gut - something wasn't right.

In his office, Mick Foley told Debra that the most exciting part about being Commissioner was making the matches. He showed her how by making several new matches for Survivor Series! He said Kane would face Chris Jericho and that Crash and Molly Holly would team with Steve Blackman against T&A and Trish. Debra said she wanted to try to make a match, so she said Lita would face Ivory for the Women's Title. Then, Mick said he wanted to see one traditional Survivor Series match, so he said the Hardyz and Dudleyz would team up to take on Edge, Christian, Bull Buchanan and the Goodfather.

In the main event of the night, the Radicalz faced Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, "The One" Billy Gunn and Chyna. The match began with all four Radicalz assaulting Billy Gunn and Chyna, but The Rock and Stone Cold made their entrances soon after. The melee settled down and the match began with "The One" taking it to Perry Saturn. The Rock tagged in, but was double-teamed by Dean Malenko and Saturn. Saturn knocked Rock out of the ring, where Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero attacked him. The Rock got back in the ring and tagged in Chyna, while Saturn tagged in Guerrero. The Ninth Wonder of the World punished Guerrero until she was double-teamed by Latino Heat and Malenko.

Finally, Chyna tagged in Austin. While he pounded on Guerrero, The Rock and Benoit battled to the back. Austin finally hit Guerrero with a Stunner to get the win! Meanwhile, The Rock and Benoit continued battling in the parking lot! As The Rock lay prone in the driveway, Triple H drove up with Rikishi, who hit The Rock with a sledge hammer! The Rock suffered as they drove away as RAW went off the air!
