- Monday Night RAW comes LIVE from the Joe Luis
Arena, Detroit, Michigan!
We start with blue flashing
lights and mournful organ music playing, as we see a casket sits
ringside. The Raw music video plays, but rather than pyro, we are
greeted with Triple H's music. We last saw him in Kane's trunk,
but now he stands triumphant on the stage, World Title belt in
hand.
Triple H sets up a chair in the middle of the ring, saying he has
a little message for Kane: next time you stuff someone in the
trunk of a car, make sure it doesn't have one of those
child-safety latches on the inside that allows easy escape.
Trips says that a lot of
people were seriously offended by what he did last week, and if
you were one of those people, he really didn't give a hoot. He
will do whatever it takes...
The lights go out, before the emergence of The Hurricane on the
stage. Hurricane says Triple H seems to be in a good mood,
but last week when Raw went off the air, he was not laughing. Now
he is all smiles and all giggles? Wassupwitdat?
Trips says that nothing is up, because nothing happened. He
pulled the latch, jumped out, and got away.
Oh is that so? Well then perhaps he can explain the footage from
a local hospital later that night of Triple H in the operating
room.
Video rolls of someone on an operating
table with a cardboard Triple H mask on. The doctors are
operating on his lower-half, and they pull out a sledgehammer, a
long string of handkerchiefs, and a hand! Here comes something
else. It's...a squirrel! The doctors begin to chisel, and pull
out the shift mechanism from a car. More chiseling, and now the
steering wheel is removed! 'Triple H' begins to yeowl and the
doctors tell him to "let it go" and they pull out...a
Triple H mask!
We come back live, and Triple H, is totally upset, throwing an
all out tantrum in and out of the ring!
BOOM! The fires of hell explode and Kane storms the ring. He
spears Trips and starts with mounted punches. He pounds away on
Trips until Security comes down. He tosses all the guards out of
the way, but this allows Triple H to take him down.
Bischoff appears on stage,
motioning for the officials to come down. They pry Triple H off
Kane, but Kane takes advantage and pounds on Trips. Finally a
group of wrestlers come down and seperate the two.
Bischoff tells them that this is it. If they are so determined to
beat the hell out of each other, they're going to do it right
here tonight. And to go along with their recent actions, it will
be a Casket Match! Triple H is horrified while Kane lets a
sinsiter grin slid slowly and fully over his face.
Sometime later, backstage, Coach finds
Kane and tells him that Bischoff told him that tonight's main
event is non-title. Kane said it doesn't matter. He gives that
tummy tumblin' spine tingling grin again then tells Coach tonight
is about locking Triple H in an air-tight casket.
Coach later goes to find and
ask Triple H about Kane's comments. Trips doesn't usually admit
things like this, but he's scared of Kane tonight. He goes on to
say he only wants to kick Kane's butt, and nothing else.
Coach asks Trips' reaction to Shawn Michaels' fast recovery and
words for him. Trips says the chairshots he gave Shawn were
beautiful, and there's no way Michaels will be able to fight
again.
The phone rings and Trips goes back in
the ring. The F-View camera again rolls, and we spy on Trips, who
commands someone to hurry up and get to the arena. He doesn't
care about Michaels, but he's under some pressure in the Casket
Match with Kane tonight.
Back live in the arena, Raw
GM Eric Bischoff comes down to his ring. He loves the people, and
coming to Survivor Series will be the Elimination Chamber. It
will take six Raw superstars, put them in a match with elements
from the Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, and his personal
favorite: War Games. And of course it will be for the World
Title. What Superstars could be worthy of such a match? How about
Triple H, Chris Jericho, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Kane, and Shawn
Michaels! The first five are Raw talent and must be in it.
Michaels has one week to accept or decline.
Casket Match - Non Title
- Triple H vs. Kane
Kane starts with the advantage, taking
Triple H down repeatedly, pounding him into the corner and
stomping away. Chops by Kane, then a powerslam. The refs open the
casket and Kane tries to roll Trips inside. Trips grabs the ropes
to keep from going in, but Kane Big Boots him into the casket,
but Trips jumps out before the lid closes.
Powerslam by Kane, who then whips Trips over the top, to the
outside. Trips nails Kane with the ringbell, then whips him into
the stairs. Back in the ring, Trips applies mounted punches.
Exchange of punches, with Kane getting the better, only to run
into a spinebuster by Triple H.
Kane sits up, but Trips hits him with the knee and a DDT. Trips
calls for the casket and drags Kane over. He pushes Kane, but the
Big Red Machine punches Trips away. He goes up top, but Trips
'buckles' him. Trips goes up and hits a superplex. Again he rolls Kane towards the coffin
and pushes him inside.
Kane's legs are hanging outside the casket so the lid won't
close. Trips goes to push him totally inside, but Kane catches
him with a choke. They battle back into the ring, where Kane
again applies a choke. Trips kicks out and looks for a Pedigree,
but Kane back body drops him.
Kane lifts Trips for a powerslam and
calls for the casket to be opened. He runs to slam Triple H, but
the Game jumps onto Kane's back and applies a sleeper hold. Kane
goes down but the encouragement of the crowd revives him and he
breaks the hold, sits up. Trips tries punches to the face, but
they only revive Kane further. Kane throws knockdown punches and
hits a Big Boot. Clothesline in the corner, then a sidewalk slam.
Kane goes up top and hits the flying clothesline. He locks in a
choke, but Triple H lowblows him.
Trips goes outside and grabs a chair. He
nails Kane with the chair, but Kane sits up. Trips lamms the
sitting Kane in the face with a chair again. Kane is laid out
cold and HHH leans down to drag Kane,
when Shawn Michaels pops up suddlenly and takes out Triple H,
then nails him with Sweet Chin Music! Kane rises, picks Triple H
up with a choke, then chokeslams him down. He rolls him into the
coffin and
closes the lid for the victory!
Kane lights the post and walks
up the ramp, posing for the SCREAMING fans, while HBK dances in
the ring and then on top of Triple H's coffin.
