Jim Ross: Welcome to RAW is WAR I’m Jim Ross here with Jerry “The King” Lawler and tonight is the first raw of the New Year.

 

The King: That’s right JR and I hope we get to see some puppies!

 

JR: Is that all you think about King?

 

The King: Is there any thing else?

 

JR: Not to you King, but for the fans lets go down to the ring and see the opening bout.

 

Kane V. Justin “Hawk” Bradshaw

 

Kane dominates the whole match and wins with a chokeslam in 3:34

Winner: Kane

Rating: C

 

JR: Well King, Kane had no problem with Bradshaw.

 

King: No but did you expect him to?

 

JR: Well I guess your right King. The Rock is backstage with Michael Cole.

 

We go backstage and see The Rock standing with Cole.

 

Michael Cole: Thanks JR. Rock you have a match tonight wit….

 

The Rock: With the Show Stopper right Cole?

 

Cole: Yes you ar....

 

Rock: I know I’m right I always am, but tonight The Rock has a big challenge in front of him. The Rock has the WWF Champion one on one. Well you know what Michael Cole The Rock is the most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment. The Rock is the best damn thing since sliced bread and tonight The Rock starts the New Year 1 and 0. If you smelllllllllllll what The Rock is cooking. (B- Wow that’s low for the rock)

 

Steve Austin V. Owen Hart

 

They really click when it comes to working in the ring. Austin controls the first few minutes but all in all it is a pretty balanced match. But Hart had too much of Austin and hit him with a low blow to end the match via DQ 12:42 into the match.

Winner: Steve Austin

Rating: B

 

JR: Stone Cold is mad about that King and I don’t think that these two have finished there feud here tonight.

 

King: Hart made a big mistake JR, you don’t mess with the rattlesnake unless you want top get bit.

 

JR: And Owen ran like a scolded dog after he did it to.

 

Commercial

 

After the break DX is standing in the ring

 

Triple H: Shawn did you hear The Rocks promo earlier?

 

HBK: Some of it couldn’t help but to go to sleep though.

 

HHH: Yea, I know what you mean. The Rock sounds like an over educated caveman.

 

HBK: Hey Billy didn’t you date one of those before?

 

Billy Gunn: Well that’s a long story but yes…but I thought it was a women.

 

HHH: That’s just disgusting. Was it Chyna?

 

HBK: Haha haha that’s a good one hunter. But anyway the reason I’m out here is to tell The Rock that if he beats me he will get a shot at my title. (B)

 

Ken Shamrock V. Jeff Jarrett

 

They didn’t click in this match. Ken really ended up dominating this match. Although Jarrett got some offense Shamrock ends it with a Belly to Belly Suplex for the pin 15:44 seconds into the match.

Winner: Ken Shamrock

Rating: C+

 

JR: Ken Shamrock beats Jarrett pretty easy; I think that Ken could be a contender for the WWF Title if he keeps this up.

 

King: Yea

 

JR: What’s wrong King?

 

King: We’re more than half way through the show and no puppies!

 

JR: Yes I know maybe next week.

 

King: But nobody really cares about Mable V. Johnson can we replace them with divas?

 

JR: I think it’s a little to late for that king.

 

Mable V. Ahmed Johnson

 

The crowd wasn’t happy seeing either one of the men fighting and it brought there mood down. Mable got tired and that made the match drag more. Johnson finally wins with a sloppy Spinebuster at 11:32 for the win.

Winner: Ahmed Johnson

Rating: D-

 

Farooq comes down to the ring looks at Mable then at Johnson.

 

Farooq: What the hell was that? That was the worst match I’ve ever seen. You both are not in the Nation any more. (D+)

 

JR: Wow King, Farooq just kick Ahmed Johnson out of The Nation of Domination

 

King: Can you blame him? He wanted to see puppies too.

JR: It’s time for the main event

 

King: woo, I’m ready for this.

 

Shawn Michaels V. The Rock

 

These two starts off even The Rock send HBK to the corner and runs and hit’s an elbow. The Rock the does a DDT on Michaels. HBK hops back up though and catch The Rock off guard with a quick arm drag followed by an elbow drop. Shawn picks him up and hits with a fierily of punches ended by a dropkick to finish him off. He then gets to the corner and waits for The Rock to get up. He’s tuning up the band he goes for the Sweet Chin Music and hits. 1...2...3

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Rating: B

 

JR: well that’s all for tonight folks thanks for watching RAW is WAR. Goodnight and God bless.

Thanks for the kind word man. And for HBK, its because he has personal demons in him too and he could barely pull out a C- rated promo. What mod are you using?

JR: Welcome to Raw Is War, tonight we have a good show tonight isn’t that right King.

 

King: Yes it is JR, but guess what.

 

JR: What?

 

King: Still no puppies.

 

JR: Yes it’s sad, let’s get started.

 

Kane V. Bart Gunn

 

Kane beats the hell out of Gunn in this match but drags the match out to put poor Bart through hell. He finally ends in at 12:59 with a chokeslam.

Winner: Kane

Rating: C

 

JR: Kane picks up his second straight win here on Raw. He looks unstoppable.

 

King: But he really hasn’t faced anybody JR.

 

JR: Yes but the way he’s done it is impressive enough.

 

Paul Bearer grabs a mic.

 

Bearer: Kane would like to open a challenge to anybody in the WWF to face him next week on Raw. It doesn’t matter how old how young how big or how small. (B)

 

The New Age Outlaws V. The Headbangers for the WWF Tag Team Championships.

 

This match was slow starting but picked up later on Mosh under formed in the match as did Road dog. But at the end Road dog picked up the win 12:50 into the match with a piledriver on Thrasher.

Winner and STILL Tag Team Champions: The New Age Outlaws

Rating: D+

 

Commercial Break

 

As we come back on the lights go out and The Undertake appears in the ring.

 

Undertaker: Michaels tonight you step into the deadman’s playground and face me and The Rock in a two on one match. Listen to me Michaels I don’t like nor do I like The Rock but I want a shot at your title at the Rumble so I talked to Vince and if I pin you tonight I will get my title shot and you will Rest In Peace!

Rating: B+

 

King: JR if I was Michaels I’d be out of here.

 

JR: Well King, I can’t say I’d do any different but Taker means business.

 

Owen Hart V. Ken Shamrock

Good match these two have good chemistry in the ring. Ken got a pretty good pop from the fans and Owen had the most heat so far tonight. Owen wins with a Sharpshooter 9:45 into the match.

Winner: Owen Hart

Rating: B-

 

After the match Stone Cold is seen making his way to the ring but is stopped by Vince.

 

Vince: Steve, stop right there. If you go out there you will be suspended without pay. You already have a rematch next week on Raw.

 

Austin: That son of a bitch hi me with a low blow last week spit in my face you expect me to not do nothing? Well Vince I don’t take orders from nobody and that’s the bottom line cuz Stone Cold said so.

 

Austin then hit’s a Stunner on Vince and heads to the ring. Hart had seen what was happening a left the building making Austin even madder. (B)

 

King: Wow that was mistake by Austin JR, next week I’m sure Vince will do something about this.

 

JR: Yes, but now its time for the main event.

 

Shawn Michaels V. The Rock and The Undertaker

 

Shawn Michaels and Chyna are an awkward pairing; they just have no chemistry whatsoever. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler have pretty good chemistry when calling matches together. This match lifted the crowd. The Rock and The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels in 15:44 when The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels by pin fall with a Choke Slam.

Winner: The Rock and The Undertaker

Rating B+

Pictures, would be nice, as nothing is really attractive in the presentation, the promos could be longer, as with Real World, you have a pre-determined knowledge of what the people should sound like and say. Might want to make the shows a little longer/Write-Ups more defined.

 

Anyways, Enough Rambling.

What do you mean, Pictures come with the mod :confused: Just upload them to photobucket, it adds 5 minutes to writing your shows, and it doesn't look that long to write at this point in time anyways.
