THREAD 1 - by Little Mac
THREAD 2 - by JoeRules

Welcome to Season 3 of our TEW2013 Let's Play - WCW vs. WWF. Little Mac brought us the idea - two teams of goons writing against each other in our own version of the Monday Night Wars. Our universe took over on May 1, 1996, with the notable signings of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall by WCW. Since then, we've seen some reality play out (HBK vs. Vader at SummerSlam 96, Steve Austin wins the 1997 Royal Rumble) and some decidedly-not-reality occur (Mike Awesome as Glacier, a wrestling/dancing bear, and 100% of what Marty Jannetty has done).

Sanguinia posted:

In this game we made Arn Anderson and Owen Hart world champions, pushed Goldust and William Regal as our top up-and-coming heels, made Brian Pillman and Eddy Guerrero rightful kings of the midcard, fought for Booker T, Raven, Mike Awesome (and by extension Glacier), Chris Jericho, Tazz, and Marty Jannety to be mainstays of our companies with the possibility of moving up the card when in real life they were all marginalized and/or buried around these years for the sake of a few golden geese, kept Ric Flair and Vader rightfully on top when in real life at this point they were being mega-buried for literally no reason, stopped Benoit from doing the flying headbutt and forced Scott Steiner to get clean, fired Jake Roberts and Jim Neidhart rather than forever enabling their habits and hopefully thereby forcing them to get clean, and done everything in our powers to make Keiji Mutou and Jushin Thunder Liger into stars of American Wrestling.

I'd say we've done a lot of good.

We now find ourselves nearly 1 year since the game began - it's the night after Wrestlemania 13, and the economy and wrestling business are gathering steam. Both companies have done well in growing at a reasonable rate over the last year, and have made superstars of their top guys - Ric Flair and Owen Hart - but can now expect to really see the American market to explode. Several new Pay-Per-View companies have become open to airing wrestling products, both in America and abroad. There's even new promotions with significant financial backing now functioning in Canada, the UK, and Australia.

If you've never read our LP before, or if you're out of the loop on what's going on, both teams have prepared a "Year in Review" post to recap what's been going on.

As a reminder, both sides are virtually ALWAYS looking for new folks to help out. Booking is handled through a Google doc, and chat via IRC. If you'd like to join, shoot me a PM, or if you don't have PM email goondaynightwars@gmail.com. I'll add you to the Google Doc access list, and send you the IRC channel details

Hardcore Revolution

ECW's 1996-1997 has gone far differently from real life. Most of ECW's future big names, such as Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Taz and the Dudley Boys were all picked up by WWF and WCW within months of the game starting.

Roster: http://i.imgur.com/N9XYLnN.png

You'll notice a young Kurt Angle on the roster - with Raven plucked to WCW, there was never a crucifixion angle, and our Olympic Hero decided to join ECW. Shane Douglas has held their world title for over a year, Brian Lee is the reigning TV champion, and hilariously, the Tag Titles, held by The Blue Meanie and Don Harris prior to justice being served, were won by WCW and WWF castoffs "Hardwork" Bobby Walker and D-Lo Brown.

Financially, ECW is in a bad way. They lost their TV deal last year and only recently got it back. As a result, their popularity has tanked and are still only a big name in the tri state area. Rumors of their financial troubles are leaking and the undercard workers fear for their jobs. ECW needs a savior... Do YOU have what it takes?

That's right - as of this thread, ECW will be a playable third promotion. There are some restrictions, however, because I want to avoid slowing down the update schedule too much. The booking team must be small, no more than four people, and the write-ups simpler than those of the two main shows. Sign up by posting right here in the thread - the first four will get in. If there turns out to be a need for more bookers I'll open up more slots at a later time.

When ECW starts booking, a benefactor will give them some extra financial muscle, so the company doesn't crash and burn before the team can turn the misfortune around.

Legit I was going to start a ECW TEW 2013 thread in the near future with a buddy, me and him came up with what we thought was a pretty sweet idea for an angle.

*I never turned up to the meetings, I sat at home and collected paychecks :v:

(thanks to Sanguina for the write-up)

1996 was the dawn of a new age for World Championship Wrestling. An age of betrayal and renewed hope, an age of agony and triumph. An age where every Monday Night was nothing short of all-out war!

A Tale of Two Horsemen

Two men stood at the eye of this storm: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. When the WCW Championship fell out of the hands of the Four Horsemen, Flair's arrogance blinded him to the malcontent of his long time friend, and it cost him dearly when Anderson betrayed the Nature Boy. In secret, Anderson secured the absolute loyalty of fellow Horsemen Chris Benoit, and used his amassed wealth to hire the ultimate secret weapons: Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, the mysterious Outsiders.

Ric Flair attempted to rally support to oppose this new faction, but after years of betrayals and greed he found himself without friends in his darkest hour. Flair was left broken and bloody, and Arn Anderson became Heavyweight Champion of the World, enforcing his will on any who dared oppose him. But just when things looked hopeless, Ric Flair found his humanity, and became the leader WCW needed. Through a long series of trials and epic battles, The Nature Boy forged a new Four Horsemen to take on Anderson's New Horsemen: Barry Windham, Lex Luger, and most importantly his long lost friend Sting.

Sting had suffered a crises of faith after months of painful defeats and perceived betrayals, compounded by years of being stabbed in the back and failing to meet his own expectations. But as Sting spiraled into darkness, Flair pulled him back with unshakable faith and a simple message: WCW needed his help. In an epic War Games match Sting appeared at the moment of truth to save Flair's team, forcing Anderson to tap out and earning a shot at the WCW Championship... but fate intervened and not only cost Sting his victory, but barred him from any future challenge to the title while it remained in Anderson's hands.

Ric Flair saw only one option: win the World War 3 match and capture the title, then face Sting himself. The match was brutal, but Flair accomplished the impossible and became the number one contender by eliminating Anderson's own lieutenant, Benoit. At the same time, having spent a fortune on bonuses, bounties and creature comforts for his two mercenaries, Double A found himself broke and unable to pay their fees... and soon learned how far their loyalty extended as Hall and Nash immediately abandoned him. Anderson faced Flair alone, with all his tricks and helpers gone, and in an epic brawl Flair finally ended the New Horsemen's reign of terror and became Champion.

Egomania Runs Wild

While this epic clash dominated the scene, it was far from the only earth-shaking conflict. WCW witnessed the collapse of a shining star into a void of darkness as the immortal Hulk Hogan turned his back on the world. When Randy "Macho Man," Savage, beat out Hogan for a shot at the WCW Championship, the Hulkster was consumed by a burning jealous rage toward his long-time friend. At the critical moment when Savage was poised to win the title, Hogan finally snapped and cost his friend the championship.

Hogan was obsessed with his own glory, ranting delusionaly about Hulkamania being above any title belt or friendship, basically declaring himself a deity as his addled mind turned the boos of betrayed fans into cheers of adulation. Hogan attacked long-time friends and rivals like Paul Orndorff, The Booty Man, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and more without provocation, and his madness reached it's peak when he unveiled the long-lost AWA Heavyweight Championship belt, declaring it to be his own personal "Hulkamania Title."

Set on breaking the Hulkster out of his fantasy, Randy Savage went to war with Hogan, attempting to win the prestigious championship from him in a series of matches that culminated in a brutal Fans Bring The Weapons match... but in the end, the Macho Man failed. Hogan's insanity ran wild, his actions and the siren's song of his defiled title belt driving a wedge between the Steiner Brothers and bringing Savage's own brother, "The Genius," Lanny Poffo out of hiding to settle a long held grudge.

But throughout these dark days there was one man standing up to Hogan, forcing him to defend his title properly and shutting down his destructive flights of fancy: WCW's new commissioner, Curt Hennig.

A Perfect World

WCW was a place of turmoil throughout the year. Steven Regal declared himself "King," and assembled a court of followers known as the Nobility. King Regal used covert weapon attacks, interference and outright fixed outcomes to win the Television Title, and launched brutal attacks against wrestlers from all the "colonial," nations, including the USA's "American Dream," Dusty Rhodes, Canada's Christian Cage and Lance Storm, and Mexico's Eddy Guerrero and his family. The mysterious Raven used the force of his personality to corrupt ex-Women's Champion Madusa and assemble a flock of cultists, battling against Too Cold Scorpio's Team X-treme in a series of matches that bordered on gang warfare and even saw Madusa in action alongside the men.

Speaking of former world champions, Ron Simmons and his mouthpiece Teddy Long used every dirty trick in the book, cheating to win at every opportunity while holding the US Championship for most of the year. WCW's newly established Cruiserweight division saw battles of ideology turn into blood feuds as it's first Champion, Mexico's legendary "Son of the Saint," El Hijo Del Santo and other newly premiered practitioners of Lucha Libre faced beatings and humiliation. Dean Malenko, a man who hates masked wrestlers, and Psicosis, a renegade Lucahdor, hoped to dismantle the Lucha traditions before they could take root in WCW by ambushing their competition and trying to steal their mask. And who could forget the mysterious man known as Glacier, who's conflict with the sinister James Mitchell and his minion Mortis involved powers which ruptured the foundations of time and space itself, conjuring specters who sought to avert WCW's dark future... that is, if you believe in that sort of thing.

This barely contained turmoil reached a boiling point when the Outsiders saw fit to attack none other than Ted Turner, WCW's owner. In response, Mr. Turner and WCW's executives brought in someone who would bring the wrestlers to heel and put an end to the madness, and there was only one man who was perfect for the job: Curt Hennig. Commissioner Hennig quickly got things under control, and with help of his lifelong friend and hand-picked deputy "World's Sexiest Man," Rick Rude WCW found a balance of controlled chaos... but control wasn't good enough for a man who sought perfection.

Hennig locked horns with those he perceived as ruining WCW, those who would cheat in their matches, attack their opponents outside the ring and throw their weight around to get their way, and none drew his ire more than Hulk Hogan. As a former AWA Champion it sickened Hennig to see the belt besmirched by Hogan's behavior, and he vowed to end Hogan's tenure as a false champion. Soon Rick Rude was questioning Hennig's actions, wondering if he was abusing his authority or even persecuting Hogan rather than keeping him in line. But the worst was yet to come when Road Warrior Hawk appeared with Hennig as his partner, and the team won the WCW Tag Team Championship!

Rude was irate, calling a Commissioner booking himself in a title match the worst possible abuse of power and an authority figure holding a championship in his own company a disgrace. Hennig countered that he'd spent his career watching the bad guys get away with dirty tricks, and if he had the power to make WCW perfect he would do it. The battle for the soul of the company and the powers of the Commissionership was the end of a friendship, and the start of a battle both in the ring and the courtroom. Hennig, with the help of his Ultimate Lawyer, swore to fight for his job to the end... but Rude knew the one thing Hennig wanted more than his perfect world: Hulk Hogan's title.

Hennig was able to defeat Hogan at Starrcade and liberate the AWA Championship... but the cost was dear as Rick Rude assumed full and permanent control over WCW.

Diamonds are Forever

Rude's administration started quietly. The Nobility disbanded as King Regal struck out on his own, blaming his former minions for his problems. The US title was finally taken off Simmons by the irreverent cocky high flyer Kid Rock. A dangerous monster known as the Great Muta arrived in WCW and forged an alliance with Meng and Bobby Heenan to take down Booker T and The Giant. Ric Flair had his rematch with Arn Anderson and a promised title match with Sting. But beneath the surface, a new power was rising.

Cryptic warnings which had been appearing throughout WCW came to fruition at Starrcade, when TV Champion Diamond Dallas Page appeared at ringside to help the Outsiders in a match for the Tag Team Championship. Over the coming weeks, this new band would reveal the existence of a secret society among professional wrestlers, an illuminati who had pulled the strings and manipulated the contests at every major wrestling promotion around the country for decades. Page revealed that every move the Outsiders, as well as Raven, Madusa, and himself, had made over the last year had been carefully calculated to position their members, to cause the exact right type and amount of chaos to bring WCW into their hands. He called this group the Flawless Diamonds.

With two of the six WCW Championships already in their hands, the Diamonds pit themselves eagerly against the Four Horsemen and Los Guerreros, a hastily assembled alliance of do-gooders commanded by Road Warrior Hawk. As Hulk Hogan redirected his attention to Flair's title, Hennig threw his efforts behind the good guys alongside his former Tag Team Partner... only to reveal that the entire conspiracy was under his control. Curt Hennig was THE Flawless Diamond. And Hawk and his allies suffered the consequences of this betrayal.

The Future Is Now!

For now, things have reached an oddly quiet moment. Road Warrior Hawk attempted to get his revenge on Hennig, and was struck down. The Flawless Diamonds are stronger than ever, and hunting for more gold to solidify their power.

In a last-ditch effort to capture the World Title, Arn Anderson and Hulk Hogan joined forced to create The Megabusters, but for now Flair has fought them back. However, tensions with Anderson's long-time right hand and ally Chris Benoit have reached a fever pitch under this new alliance, and things in that camp surely cannot stand.

At the moment, Ric Flair continues to stand at the top of the mountain as World Heavyweight Champion. He has pledged to stand against AWA Champion Curt Hennig and the Flawless Diamonds at all costs, and he is not alone. Beyond the conflict between Horsemen and Diamonds, the other wrestlers of World Championship Wrestling, be they champions or contenders, friends or rivals, find new reasons to fight, new grudges to settle, and new glory to chase every day. But all the comings and goings of are about to find themselves ground to halt. Commissioner Rick Rude and his assistant Eric Bischoff have unveiled their latest creation, and it makes the future more uncertain than ever. WCW is about to take it's first step toward the future... and into the ELIMINATION CHAMBER!

WWF Year In Review

Terry Funk vs Mick Foley:
For weeks before the Royal Rumble, a masked man was bragging about how he had seen the monster inside of Dude Love, and would bring it out. At the event, it was revealed that the man in the mask was none other than Terry Funk, who caused something primal to explode from Foley. As time went on, Foley came to realize that Dude Love was not enough to take down his foe, and reached deep inside himself for the brutal Cactus Jack. The feud finally came to a violent end at Wrestlemania XIII, and despite everything he threw at him, Funk was unable to tame the beast, and, after being clotheslined off the upper decks of the arena, fell to Cactus.

Jerry Lynn vs HHH vs Chris Jericho:
Although he never officially won the title at the Twas The Fight Before Christmas Fearsome Foursome, Jerry Lynn dug the Intercontinental Title out of the trash that Steve Austin dumped it in, acting as if he had won the Intercontinental Championship that night. Chris Jericho had almost won the title during the controversial match, and believed it was rightfully his. During a #1 contender's match for the Intercontinental Title between Jericho and the Architect of the Power Trip, Lynn interfered, causing a disqualification. This led to a triple threat ladder match at Wrestlemania XIII, where Chris Jericho won the title.

Brian Pillman vs Mark Henry:

Although he had been using underhanded methods to hold onto his Pan-American Title, such as staging an entire Pay-Per-View, In Your House 12: The Pan-American Power Trip, in an empty auditorium, Brian Pillman had no choice but to defend his title at Wrestlemania XIII against Mark Henry. Mark Henry has been on a tear up to Wrestlemania, with a winning streak of 21, and at Wrestlemania XIII, he inducted the Lunatic Fringe of the Power Trip into his Hall of Pain, bringing his winning streak to a total of 22, and is now the current WWF Pan-American Champion.

Chris Jericho and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper:

For the past month, there has been friction between the young lion and his mentor. During his time as the Tag Team Champion, Jericho has become overconfident, showing off whenever he could. At Wrestlemania XIII, despite already wrestling for the Intercontinental Title, Jericho defended his Tag Team Championship against Bulldog and the Skunkrocker. In the end, Camp Cornette came away with the gold, and Jericho turned on his partner, ending their tag team.

Goldust and The Undertaker:

During the 1996 King of the Ring Pay-Per-View, Goldust stole the Undertaker's Urn from Paul Bearer. Over the next few months, the two of them would rampage through the entire WWF roster, with Goldust winning the Money in the Bank briefcase and Undertaker forced to brutalize his younger brother Kane. At the Royal Rumble, Goldust would lose control of the Urn, and it would fall into the hands of the Undertaker, who promptly destroyed it. At Wrestlemania XIII, The Undertaker finally got his hands on the insidious Goldust, using the malevolent Hell in a Cell Structure to ensure the gold-painted movie buff could not escape retribution.

Taz vs Ted DiBiase:

Despite finding many ways to earn him money, Taz was consistently disrespected by his manager, Ted DiBiase. After DiBiase cost him his spot in the 1997 Royal Rumble, Taz snapped, telling DiBiase he quit. DiBiase sent his entire stable after Taz, and one by one they fell to the Tazmission. At Wrestlemania, DiBiase was finally forced to send his million dollar prospect, Steve Corino, against Taz, and he too fell to the Tazmission. Having triumphed over the entirety of Camp Cornette, it is unsure what DiBiase will do next, but it surely won't be pretty.

Owen Hart vs Bret Hart vs Vader vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin:

As the WWF Champion, Vader took down every challenger who came his way. This all changed at the Royal Rumble, where even his might could not stop the cunning of Owen Hart. After Owen tamed the mastodon, his brother Bret won the Royal Rumble... or so we thought, as the Juggernaut of the Power Trip, Steve Austin, had landed on his partner Brian Pillman and returned, chair in hand, to brutalize Bret. Due to the controversial circumstances of Austin's victory, Mr. McMahon set up a match between the two for the contendership for the title. Vader, furious at losing his title, rampaged over the two of them.
In the end, Owen, feeling overshadowed by his brother's search for the title, told them he'd take them all on, promising to eliminate them all himself. At Wrestlemania XIII, Owen made true on his promise, eliminating first his brother, then Vader, and finally tapping out Austin.

quote:

To start the show, the first episode of Raw is War, a graphic played on the Tron, not just showing the new logo of WWF Raw Is War, but an important message:
TONIGHT -- THE HEARTBREAK KID RETURNS!

A Rocky Maivia hype video plays ending with "R is here". Roadblock comes out and pats himself on the back, attributing the hype videos telling of his own coming. Rocky comes out and smack talks Roadblock. "You long-haired, rat-faced, sweathog jabroni, you don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that ol' Lone Ranger, and you don't try to steal Rocky Maivia's spotlight! Now don't leave that ring, monkey boy, because you're sure having a match tonight, and it's against yours truly!" This didn't do much for the crowd, and it's probably on Roadblock.

Rocky Maivia vs Roadblock. Rocky pins Roadblock after an Uranage. This was much better recieved than the promo.

After the match, we see HHH and Austin fuming backstage. Austin's face lights up as he
taps HHH on the shoulder and starts whispering in his ear. HHH begins to light up as well, and they walk away cackling.
The camera cuts to Vince in his office, counting his money from WrestleMania 13 when sirens blare in the background and a secretary barges through his door. ""What the hell do you want! Can't you see I'm busy here!"" ""Y-y-yes sir, but-"" ""But what?"" ""There's a person from the local hospital looking for you, something about a call they got."" Looking confused, Vince also heads to the source of the sound.

Backstage, Money Inc has cornered Taz. Taz tries to fight them all, but Money Inc's numbers overwhelm Taz ...until Rocky Maivia makes the save! Uranage to Bundy! Uranage to Corino! The rest of Money Inc flee as Rocky shakes Taz's hand and we fade out on the two of them talking.

Kerrang! and Marc Mero vs All 3 Dudleyz, Mero gets pinned by D-Von after a 3D. Mero almost refuses to try to tag in his teammates, attempting to take on all 3 on his own.

After the match, Kerrang! try to pep Mero up, but he has none of it and stomps off petulantly.

Kane and American Pride are standing in the ring for a match when only Steve Corino and King Kong Bundy come out. Kane starts to ask where the other opponent is, but Ted DiBiase interrupts him. "Don't get alarmed, you're getting a fair fight tonight. FUCKTRAIN, COME ON OUT!"

Saxophones blared, almost like the theme to a porno, as Fucktrain walked onstage wearing nothing but a mask, a Speedo and his wrestling boots.

"OH YEAH, BABY, THE FUCKTRAIN HAS ARRIVED! AND HE IS COCKED, LOCKED, AND READY TO UNLOAD! AND SINCE I CAN'T FIND THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR NOWHERE, I'LL TAKE IT OUT AND PUT IT IN YOU, KANE! BECAUSE WHEN THE FUCKTRAIN PULLS INTO THE STATION, HE WANTS 2 THINGS: TO gently caress PEOPLE AND TO gently caress PEOPLE UP! AND I PLAN TO DO BOTH TONIGHT!"

Fucktrain, Bundy, and Corino vs Kane and American Pride, Fucktrain pins Prichard after the Big Sweaty Bomb. Fucktrain is a very physical worker, both in terms of working stiff and working stiff. At one point, he got Kane into a test of strength and forced him onto his knees before rubbing his crotch onto Kane's mask.

There's a sign above the entrance ramp with CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WRESTLEMANIA WINS, MICK AND SHAWN

Shawn comes out. He stands in the ring silently, as Dude Love's music hits.

Dude Love comes out to uproarious cheers, talking about how his win over Terry Funk is the biggest win in his career.

He starts a promo: "I want to thank all my fans! While I want to celebrate my win, I do also want to give my good pal Shawn a welcome back party! I know he was a Grumpy Gus for a few weeks, but I trust he's cleared his head and he's back to that good old Heartbreak I kne-"

SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Mick hits the ground. Shawn walks off, without saying a word.

Pan-Am Title Match: Mark Henry vs Bob Backlund, Henry pins Backlund with the World's Strongest Slam, 23. The commentators make good note of the fact that Mark Henry will uphold the rightful rules of the Pan-American title; i.e. defending it on every possible American show.


Roddy Piper has Chris Jericho on his show, and asks him why he slapped him in the face at Wrestlemania. After this question, Jericho jumps across the table, and begins to beat down Piper. Jericho then grabs a mic.

"Look in my eyes, Piper, and tell me what you see." The downed Piper begins to speak, but Jericho interrupts, cutting Roddy off with a kick to the side.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SEE! What matters is what you saw a year ago when you decided to take me under your wing. You didn't see an equal. You didn't see a protege. You saw a crutch. That's all I was to you, a crutch that could carry you after your relevancy was long gone. And carry you I did. I carried you through matches, I carried you to the tag team championships! And you hosed it all up for us. You just couldn't hang with me, you old withered bastard. And THAT, Piper, was the final straw! I am no longer your reflection, I am no longer your shadow. When you look at me, you're looking at the new millenium of professional wrestling... and I can't promise you'll survive to see it."

Jericho continues beating down Piper, before spitting on him and walking off in disgust.

Owen Hart's title celebration. He comes out, bandaged and bruised, and cuts a promo about WrestleMania and about making good on his promise to take out all three of his opponents himself. He then calls out Bret to join him in the ring. Instead, the Power Trip comes out. Austin takes a mic but forgoes his usual trash-talk, actually showing respect towards Owen and calling him one tough SOB. He reaches for a handshake... but pulls his hand away, KICK WHAM STUNNER! Austin picks a mic up and says he demands a rematch, one on one this time. As the two of them walk up the ramp, Goldust's music hits and he rushes past them holding the briefcase, tossing his wig and robe as he goes, and hands the briefcase to the ref.



Goldust vs Owen Hart(c)
WWF Title


As the match starts, Goldust taunts the downed Owen Hart, getting a good kick in. He goads Owen to his feet, and sets up the Curtain Call. As he drives the back of Owen's head into the mat, he quickly goes into the cover.

1...2...2.9, Owen gets his shoulder up, and in a show of defiance slaps Goldust in the face. Goldust is shocked, and in his hesitation leaves himself open to an elbow to the face from Owen. As Goldust is recoiling, Owen crawls to the ropes and begins to pull himself up. Goldust goes over to the ropes to try to lay some kicks in on Owen, but Owen has gotten up in time and lays in with another slap. Goldust returns the slap, and eventually Owen and Goldust are slapping each other in the face as hard as they can. After a particularly hard slap, Goldust winds up for an elbow to the top of the head, but Owen kicks Goldust in the side, setting him up for a belly to belly suplex. After the suplex, Owen tried to go to the top for an elbow drop, but Goldust is able to get up, and knocks Owen's legs out from under him before going for a superplex. Owen blocks the superplex with a punch to the side, knocking Goldust off the turnbuckle, before hitting the elbow drop and laying on Goldust for the cover.

1...2...2.9, Goldust kicks out forcefully, and as the 2 of them stagger to their feet, Goldust looks more determined than he was before. He lays in with a closed fist punch to the face before whipping Owen to the turnbuckle. Goldust hooks Owen's legs in the ropes, goes to the opposite corner. We go into a picture in picture showing Bret watching the match backstage in horror as Goldust gets a running start before just laying into Owen's groin with a heinous running kick. The picture in picture ends Owen flops forward, and the ref doesn't seem to be doing anything. Goldust drags Owen to his feet as Bret runs out from Gorilla. Bret tries to run for the ring only to be met by HHH and Austin of the Power Trip, who beat him down before he can assist Owen.

Goldust has Owen at his mercy, and dumps him over the ropes before getting a chair from the timekeeper's area. He brutalizes Owen, leaving him busted open on the floor. With a mischevous expression on his face, Goldust walks over to the timekeeper's area and takes the WWF title, almost holding it up like an award, before dragging Owen to his feet and nailing him square in the face with it. He rolls Owen back into the ring, lays the title on the mat and hits the Curtain Call onto the title before going for the cover.

1...2...3. Goldust is your new World Wrestling Federation champion.



Ted DiBiase comes out, shakes the ref's hand, and starts to speak. "Of course, by now you realize the hidden power of the Money In The Bank briefcase. Everybody has a price, even WWF officials! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Beaten and crawling, Owen rebuts. "You dirty rat! When I get my rematch-" Goldust interrupts. "Ah-ah-ah, Owen. Read the fine print of the Money In The Bank contract! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You get no rematch. You get NOTHING! YOU LOSE, MISTER HART! GOOD DAY, SIR!

Gene Wilder, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." "Yes, Goldust. Now let's leave Mr. Hart here to his wallowing and get about the business of making you a star."

Goldust and DiBiase walk off cackling, leaving Owen alone and laying in the ring. Bret struggles to the ring, still selling the beat down from the Power Trip, as the Power Trip look on from ringside, smug and satisfied in their revenge. As Owen pulls himself up the turnbuckles, Bret can barely gasp out a few words before falling flat again.

"I tried, Owen. I tried." with this, Owen turns his gaze from the departing Goldust and DiBiase to the Power Trip with a look of the purest poison on his face as Raw Is War comes to a close. Ted was really rough off-script.

That was a bit of a wet fart of a Raw, compared to the past few weeks. I have to give it a C+ here.
