RAW IS WAR
March 6, 2000
Commentators: Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross

WWF Title followed by a video package entitle "Bro vs. Sis" After that, RAW
title and the pyro display. We are live in Springfield, MA

To open the show, Shane comes out and talks about the "incident" last
Thursday. Shane rolls the footage and tries to explain whether or not it
was intentional (I'm talking about Big Show hitting HHH with a chair). A
BIG Rocky chant starts up during all this. Shane then said he walked over
to see if HHH was OK, and HHH shoved him. Again, Shane rolls the footage.
Shane said he squashed the Rock and that was business, but HHH is more than
business, it's personal. HHH is family now. HHH brainwashed Stephanie into
looking and acting like a cheap slut. Shane makes a non-title match tonight
between HHH and Rikishi Phatu.

About that time, HHH's music hits and HHH and Steph come to the ring. HHH
says it hurts him to know how Shane feels about him. A SLUT chant starts in
the crowd. HHH says it will be a long humiliating night for the Big Show at
the WWF's most prestigous event, Wrestlemania. HHH says Big Show isn't even
in his league. Steph takes the mic and makes a match too. She puts the Big
Show in the curtain jerker against Kane. She then slaps Shane for calling
her a cheap slut. Only a 10 minute opening interview. I didn't even finish
my popcorn yet.

Earlier today...The Posse is shown dragging Tim White down the hall in a
hotel early in the morning. They come to Crash Holly's door and pretend to
be room service. Once they get inside, they attack Crash, but they end up
fighting each other over who is going to be hardcore champion and Crash
sneaks out.

Moments ago...Steph slaps Shane for calling her a cheap slut

Kane w/Paul Bearer vs. Big Show w/Shane McMahon
Kane hits an enziguri to get control, but gets low bridged by Shane. The
two big men brawl outside the ring. They get back in the ring and trade
punches. Big Show hits a sidewalk slam on Kane and then went for a big
elbow and missed. Kane hit a DDTand then a top rope clothesline. Big Show
hit (if you can call it that) a terrible spinebuster. Big Show goes for the
chokeslam, but Kane grabs Big Show's neck too. Rock comes down and Rock
Bottoms the Show. Big Show gets up, but then gets chokeslammed by Kane.
These two work horribly together. I hope I don't have to sit through many
more of these. They just dont' compliment each other very well.
Winner: Big Show by DQ

Mark Henry and Mae Young are shown arguing backstage about whether or not
Mae will be ringside for Mark's match. Mark tries to say she just had a
baby, but she didn't, so Mae wins. Who wears the pants in this
relationship.

D-Von connects with a flying elbow followed by rights in the corner. Mae is
up on the apron now. Buh-Buh in the ring, but misses a cheap shot. He's
now sitting in the corner. Mae in the ring and hits the bronco buster on
Buh-Buh. While this is happening, Mark Henry hits a powerslam on D-Von for
the victory.

Post-match (what we paid to see). Buh-Buh shoves Mae down. Mark gets up
and gets a 3-D to knock him out. Buh-Buh grabs Mae and D-Von gets the
table. The table is set up in the ring and D-Von hands Mae to Buh-Buh.

Mae took the full force of this powerbomb.

Road Dogg/X-Pac w/Tori vs. Too Cool
Scotty and X-Pac start. A loud X-Pac sucks chant starts. Also, I saw a
TITO IS GOOD sign in the crowd. **sigh** What it must feel like to see your
name at a WWF event. :-) X-Pac gets beat down pretty bad. This must be a
lucha rules match becaue Road Dogg came in without a tag. X-Pac and Scotty
outside. A double facebuster on DX once it goes back inside. Sexay dances.
Scotty hits a bulldog and sets up for the worm. X-Pac tried a spinning
heel kick on Scotty but missed. Sexay hits a reverse side russian leg sweep
on Road Dogg. Scotty hits his worm. Sexay up to the top, but Tori knocks
him off. X-Pac is setting up for the Bronco Buster, but Kane's pyros
explode. Road Dogg gets chokeslammed and X-Pac and Tori run away. Too Cool
gets rid of Road Dogg after the match. Good showing by Too Cool. Huge pop
and DX actually worked as heels for once.
NO CONTEST DUE TO KANE

Snickers Slam of the Week...Slaughter vs. Angle last week on Smackdown
(hey, Slaughter didn't look too bad, huh?)

IC TITLE MATCH
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho
Angle says at how anytime he could become a nobody like all the people here
in Springfield. It's true. It's true. He could become a long haired,
sideburned, potty mouth too. Jericho's music hits. Jericho says he'd
rather be all that than a bad breath, major BO, 30 year old never been
kissed by a woman, Olympic sissie. Jericho tells Mrs. Angle to turn off her
set because Kurt is about to get the beating of his life. There was a huge
missed spot followed by a couple chops while they regrouped. Jericho hits a
backbreaker then some slaps in the corner. Angle hits what I believe was
supposed to be a Northern Lights suplex. Angle then puts his boot in
Jericho's throat. Jericho hits a spinning heel kick and a bulldog.
Jericho goes for a flying elbow, but hits the ref. Jericho hits the
lionsault but there's no ref to count. Angle tries to use the belt, but
misses. Jericho slaps on the Walls of Jericho. After a few minutes of
Angle fighting the submission, BOB BACKLUND comes out to Angle's aide.
Backlund slaps on a crossface chicken wing. Angle and Backlund celebrate in
the ring together. That was a shocker!
Winner: Chris Jericho via DQ (still haven't had a clean match).

in and says if he sees anything, it's Josh's ass. Steve Blackman starts

cafeteria and end up in front of the aPa. Farooq uses a 2x4 on Vis and

has nothing to hide even though, HHH, Steph, Show and Shane do. The only
thing the Rock has to hide is his boot straight up Chris Benoit's candy ass.
FYI, The Rock referred to himself as "The Rock" only 16 times.

Henry is back from the hospital and he goes into a lockerroom that turns out
to be the Dudley's and gets the crap kicked out of him.

Commercial

Over the Tope Steel Cage Match
Rock vs. Chris Benoit
Benoit sends the Radicals backstage. The cage looks VERY dangerous. It's
not constructed very well and I'd hate to be in there. The match is 99%
brawling. Rock tries to go out, but is stopped. Snap suplex by Benoit and
he tries to go out, but Rock stops him. More brawling and Shane and Big
Show come down.. Benoit is backdropped into the cage. Rock tries to get
