WWF RAW Report for September 02,

- We are LIVE live from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, with the Labor Day edition of RAW!
KANE Defender - The AMERICAN Way!
Let me say first, that I went
nutz during the opening promo to RAW! They've added KANE's new
look into the mix - BURSTING with action - it's superb!
Handicap Match: Kane over Lance Storm &
Christian. The UnAmericans Edge
and Christian went up against KANE in a handicap match about half
way through the show - for me, it was the best part of the show.
Coming out first, they pranced down and into the ring, their
blatant taunting of all things American cut short by KANE's
explosive entrance.
I'm SOOOOO glad KANE kept the music that I will always associate
with him - Chemical Burn, I think is what they call it. The
arrangement may change slightly(just as his attire and demeanor
may have) through the years, and they might change the lyrics to
fit his current personality, but the main cadance and theme
remain the same.
As KANE slides into the ring, Christian and Storm waste no time
rushing him before he's up or before the bell. KANE battled back,
seemingly with ease, sending each attacker to a corner. KANE
valiantly took on the two, sometimes at the same time, in a match
that saw the UnAmericans throwing everything they had at him.
Christian managed to take Kane down with a drop toe hold on the
ring steps.
The King urged Kane to be the Big Red White & Blue Machine
tonight. Kane was impressive, his feats of agility and strength,
I hope, convincing any doubter that the IS no FAKER - KANE is
KANE and he's indeed on FIRE! Kane used a new move that consisted
of putting Christian on his shoulders and falling backwards.
Kane flew off the top with a clothesline to Storm and got a
near fall.
The match ended with Christian and Lance double teaming KANE in
the ring, KANE sidesteps a jumping half calf by Lance, who ended
up connecting with Christian, sending THAT one clean out of the
ring. KANE lays a death-grip Chokehold on Storm, lifts and
ChokesSlams Lance down resoundingly into the mat, covers - 1 - 2
- 3 . . . pin for the win to KANE!!
You could FEEL the fervor of the capacity crowd at Bradley Center
in Milwaukee, starting from the time KANE's firey entrance queued
and going throught out the match! As Christian was going for the
UnPrettier, the crowd began to chant - KANE twisted out and
lifted Christian to sit upon his shoulders as the fans SCREAMED
their support. His victory - sweeter for the roar of approval
reverbrating through the arena.
Of course, Test, EEEEEVIL sneer on his face, jumps the ring and
KANE - the defeated gather and take to the fallen KANE like
jackals on a prone gazell. Test breaks off and grabs the
Red-White & Blue, lifts a propane torch, fires it up and
slowly brings it toward Old Glory -
BRADSHAW!!!!!! The Texan makes for the ring, bearing down on Test
in time to save the Stars and Stripes yet again! The Twisted Trio
turn and begin to battle on Bradshaw as KANE rises to his feet an
zeroes in on Test! In no time, KANE and Bradshaw clear the ring
of the UnAmericans, KANE sets off his glorious pyros as Bradshaw
grabs up the flag and waves it thriumphantly through the blazing
display. As the smoke clears, KANE stalks around the ring,
Bradshaw going up on the ring posts as the arena continues to
erupt wildly. KANE moves to the ropes and casts a baleful glare at the backward
retreating reprobates (the cameras capture MAGNIFICENT close up
head shots of him here :D )- then turns to meet Bradshaw, head
held high, as he, the Texan and the Flag receive enthusiastic
acclaim.
KANE has returned - displaying every BIT of what it is that sets
him apart from others - and MORE! THIS Kanenite will heartily
enjoy watching him blaze his "Chosen Path" through the
WWE this go round, leaving those who seek to barr his way singed
from the heat of his aggressive determination!
