RAW after WM17
Steph opens; Vince is next
Typical heel Vince promo
Rock comes out demands a rematch, Vince says no
Rock puts Vince into the sharpshooter to force him to give him a rematch..he does, it’s in STEEL CAGE!
Radicals vs Test and the APA
Crazy how over Test was. Test gets the pin and win.
Steph demands a match vs Trish, it’s a whipping match. Literally whooped each others asses. Regal came out to save Steph, they double team Trish..but Jericho comes out to save Trish forcing Regal and Steph to run. So for payback, it’s going to be Regal and Angle vs Jericho.,to appease Steph, who is furious he “messed everything up”
Shit is so random lol
Rhyno vs Crash Holly.. Rhyno wins in a squash match. Molly Holly gets gored afterwards for jumping in after the match.
Vince presents the WWF title to Austin..
I forget Austin regretted this storyline/heel turn to align w Vince. And boy this was a stupid move
Austin turns on the crowd and cuts his heel promo on them..he looked hesitant here during it all..
RTC, damn that theme song is piercing and annoying..hardcore match Val Venus vs Kane. They have a normal match overall. Kane wins, rest of RTC come out to jump Kane. Kane is getting beat down and ABA Taker comes out and the Brothers of Destruction destroy RTC and end this segment with a double brother choke slam
Jericho v Regal/Angle 2 on 1 handicap match..pretty much Regal/Angle tagging in and out and breaking down Jericho…Regal gets the pin and both continue to attack Jericho after the match. Benoit comes out w the save..and both Chris’ stare each other down
Heyman “he’s not a good citizen, he just hates Kurt Angle that much!” (Why Benoit came out)
“The One” Billy Gunn vs X-Pac (with Justin Credible & Albert); decent match, back and forth..X-Pac gets the win w the Justin distraction and Albert with the Baldo Bomb..after the win, they beat down Billy Gunn
I forget how much this happened after matches..the unhinged era lol
Main event time:
Austin/Rock in a steel cage for the WWF title..
This is what today is missing..this kind of main event, this kind of chaos, this kind of attitude.
Austin/Rock go at it outside the cage. Rock is putting the beat down on Austin. Austin is already busted open, bleeding already. From outside the ring to now inside, Austin takes control. He stays in control, Vince hands Austin a chair…Rock gets back control, making Austin tap but Vince is distracting the ref. Rock his his finishers, pins Austin but Vince breaks the count by jumping on the ref.
Ref shoved Vince to the ground. Austin losing. Rocky hits the Rock Bottom, Vince breaks the count again. Rock beating down Vince now. About to hit the rock bottom on Vince but Austin stops it and now Vince/Austin beat down Rocky.
Crowd behind Rock..,Triple H music hits, runs down to the ring w the sledgehammer..face to face w Austin, but turns and hits the Rock w the hammer. The alliance grows. He had joined w Austin/McMahon. They all take turns destroying the Rock. Finishers are hit. Trash talk ensues. More beat down. Now beers come in..Austin’s music hits, the 3 all hold hands up as Rock lays lifeless.
Bruh, these shits were WILD! God were we spoiled wrestling fans at this time!
