Eric Bischoff’s music hits as the Raw General Manager comes down the ramp.
JR: Well folks, welcome to Monday Night Raw, JR Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler, here ringside, looks like we are starting tonight off with our General Manager Eric Bischoff, I can’t wait for this one…
King: Oh come on JR, stop being so sarcastic, I think Bischoff does a great job, well except for the decision of keeping you at the announcer’s table.
JR: I am going to stop this conversation right there King…
Bischoff: Now I presume all of you saw what happened last week on my show, Monday Night Raw? Well, for those who didn’t let’s take a look at this clip…
VIDEO: Kane destroying Goldberg after Goldberg’s match with Mark Henry and Rodney Mack and Kane tombstoning Goldberg onto the announcer’s table.
Bischoff: Oh man, I got to admit it, I can’t get enough of that video! Just the thought, that Goldberg, your supposed superman, the man who can face any challenge and come out on top, getting taken down by one of, well, “my” creations. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the man who destroyed Goldberg last week, the Big Red Machine, Kane!
Kane’s music hits as Kane emerges out of the flames and walks to the ring.Kane walks into the ring and shakes Eric Bischoff’s hand.
Bischoff: Big man, I got to hand it to you, you really impressed me last week, the way you picked your spots and just manhandled Goldberg! However, I felt like you didn’t really get all you wanted last week, I saw that it looked like you wanted more, your hunger for pain and torture wasn’t satisfied, that’s why, in 2 weeks at the big Raw 3 Hour Spectacular, it will be a rematch, Kane vs. Goldberg one on one! However, that’s not all, this match isn’t just any ordinary match, no, you saw that already, so I am making it a Steel Cage match!
JR: Wow, what a night the 3 Hour Spectacular is shaping up to be, in addition to the World’s title match, we have Goldberg and Kane in a cage?
Bischoff: Don’t worry Big man, I haven’t forgot about you, to warm you up for the Cage match, I decided to book you in a match, right here tonight! Have fun, go easy on his ok?

Do you think you can take both Trish Stratus and Victoria at once and keep your Women’s Championship?
Molly: Oh, I am sorry, we’re you talking to me like that? Gee Terri, I thought as a broadcaster you were a little smarter than that. Don’t you know why I have this Gold? It’s because I am able to defeat Trish and Victoria at once, having this title on my shoulder represents that I am the best Diva this company has ever produced. Terri, here’s another thing…

JR: Well King, looking beyond her extreme beauty, I believe Trish Stratus is one of the best Divas to ever grace a WWE ring, well, not according to Molly Holly anyways.
King: Molly is just jealous plain and simple. JR, I got to admit it, Trish must be looking for blood ever since Victoria took her out last week screwing her out of her rematch for the Women’s Championship!

BACKSTAGE:
A limo pulls up and out comes Ric Flair, but shortly after him another man pops out and it’s the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.
JR: Well King, its hold and cold between these two men. HBK laid down for Ric Flair at Backlash, Michaels was a little pissed, but still said he idolized Flair, and after Flair’s Protégé Triple H almost destroyed him with the sledgehammer last week, HBK came to Ric’s aid, and these two haven’t been closer since!
Ric and Shawn walk through the parking lot but slow up as they see someone in front of them. The camera pans to the side and it’s the World Heavyweight Champion Triple H holding his title and a sledgehammer, blocking their path.
HHH: You know what I just can’t understand, how someone with the legend caliber and accolades, the dirtiest player in the game, Ric Flair, can’t follow a simple plan. Ric, you have made me very, very, angry. You pull this stunt against me? After everything I have done for you? Do you want out of Evolution? Do you? Because you are this close! This close Ric. Beat it Shawn, me and Ric have some business to discuss, come on Ric…
Ric doesn’t move a muscle and continues to stand by HBK.
HHH: Now Ric!
Ric: No.
HHH: What did you say to me?
Ric: Hunter, no. I have been putting up with your self centeredness for far too long now. Hunter, no offense man, I love you like a brother, but maybe, maybe, we need so spend some time apart, at least until after the Fatal Four Way, it’s too much tension you know?
HHH: Too much tension? Are you kidding me jack? Oh, but not enough tension to keep you away from Shawn huh? No, don’t say anything, I get the message, see you around Nature Boy…
HHH starts walking back, but then turns around.
HHH: Oh, since I am that damn good, I always have a back up plan, especially since I saw this coming. Ric since you are so into this Fatal Four Way, and don’t think I forgot about you Shawn, I managed to pull a few strings and booked both of you in a match tonight…against 3 Minute Warning. Have fun…
Triple H walks away and Ric Flair turns to Michaels and shakes his head.
JR: Just when you thought it was safe to watch Monday Night Raw, first HBK was going to join Evolution, but now Ric Flair is an inch from getting booted out of the faction? Something smells a little fishy to me here King!

Evolution’s music hits as Randy Orton comes down the ramp to a horrible ovation.
King: Here he is JR, this man has such a bright future here on Raw. The Legend Killer Randy Orton is coming to the ring with a purpose tonight, I can’t wait!
JR: I can’t wait either, King, I can’t wait until someone kicks this guy’s ass so it will knock him back into reality!
Orton: Quiet down I have something to say! Now I don’t come out here just to hear myself talk, I come out here to handle my business, I don’t entrust it to others. It looks to me like I am the only member of Evolution with his head straight these days. Now, getting back to business, you all know why I am out here tonight, I am here to address a certain individual, that being you…Booker T!
JR: Looks like Randy Orton isn’t hesitant in calling Booker out!
Orton: Now I know that you, Booker, haven’t been on Raw in awhile, due to some “personal issues” you have been experiencing, when all of us truly know that you ran out of WrestleMania back to your home in Houston with your tail between your legs, guilty of one thing, embarrassment! You were embarrassed that you were defeated by Triple H at the Grandest Stage of them all! Face it Booker, Evolution has passed you by…Randy Orton has passed you by. People see you as a legend. What is it? A 5 Time WCW Champion? Well Booker, let me tell you something, those 5 World titles don’t mean anything, because you are in the WWE, not WCW anymore, and if I remember correctly, you haven’t done jack in my yard Booker!
Booker T’s music hits as Booker T returns to Raw. He walks down the ramp and into the ring face to face with Orton.
JR: There he is, Booker T, Booker T returning for the first time since WrestleMania! Booker is in the house!
Booker: Tell me…I didn’t…just…hear that! Who the hell you think you are man?
Orton: Well Booker, you must have a short attention span, I just said…
Booker: Ohhh, oh, I know now, I remember you, weren’t you the towel boy backstage a couple months ago? Damn, you sure buffed up man, look at you!
Orton: Oh, yea, that’s real funny Booker T, but the fact of the matter is, I am Randy Orton, the most gifted wrestler in the WWE today, I know it, they know it, and deep down inside, Booker, you know it too!
Booker: That would be pretty difficult considering I am meeting you for the first time right now! Well, despite this little road block I ran into right now, it sure feels damn good to be back here in St. Louis! St. Louis, let me hear you make some…
Orton: Excuse me? Are you ignoring me Booker? You must be because I am standing right here still. I think you need to learn some respect!
Booker: Respect? Respect? Look at the ego on you man…
Orton: Booker, I came out here to tell you one thing and one thing only, you thought Triple H was a competitor, well you are looking at someone younger, faster, stronger, and dare I say, better looking, than the Game Triple H, and he is up in your face!
Randy Orton slaps Booker T across the face.
JR: By Gawd, what a slap!
Booker T starts shaking in anger and slowly turns back to Orton ready to strike back, but Orton was stalking him and grabs his head and drills him down with an RKO.
King: RKO! Wow, what impact by the Legend Killer!
Randy Orton gets up smirking and puts his arms up as his music plays.
King: Well JR, looks to me like the legend of Booker T, has officially been killed at the hands of the Legend Killer!
PROMO: Hype for the Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular
Test stands in the middle of the ring awaiting his opponent.
JR: Well there you see the Big Man Test who will be taking on a man who can’t refuse a risk, that’s right…
Jeff Hardy’s music hits as Jeff Hardy comes out of the gate.
King: I still don’t understand what’s so special about this guy JR, last week he ambushed Christian, Christian!, with a steel chair, quite viciously, may I add, I think he should be suspended, that’s not proper conduct for WWE superstar!

King: Sure JR, “ring presence,” but if Christian were to do that you would call him a cheater!

BACKSTAGE:
The Coach is backstage with Chris Jericho
Coach: I am here with the man whom tonight will go one on one with the World’s Heavyweight Champion Triple H in the main event in a Backlash, non title, rematch, yes, I am here with Chris Jericho!
Y2J: Why thank you Coach, for further informing me it’s a non title match, yea, really boosting my spirits there junior. Oh well, the Sexy Beast doesn’t need it to be a World’s title match to kick Triple H’s ass, remember the last time I fought him on Raw, I made him tap to the Walls of Jericho baby! That’s exactly what’s going to happen right here…
Triple H walks into the picture.
Y2J: Speak of the devil, or should I say speak of the Ass Clown?
HHH: Real funny Chris, listen, tonight, I really don’t give crap if you can beat me, because the only way you can beat me is in a non title match, just like tonight, but still, keep dreaming buddy. However, Chris, you are a man of business I am sure? I am sure you are aware of the little friendship between Shawn Michaels and my “Evolution Teammate” Ric Flair?
Y2J: Listen, I don’t watch day time soaps here Hunter, I am here to wrestle…
HHH: I know, I know, but listen, they are quite the force when teamed together, I want to know something, Fatal Four Way aside, until then, can I count on you if things get ugly? I mean we do have quite the history together…
Y2J: Wow, Hunter, I have to say I am a little flushed, I mean the great Triple H asking for the help of Y2J, from the horrifying team of a 40 year old who thinks he is a 20 and a senior citizen? Who just happen to be 2 of the greatest athletes in our business, but all that aside…hell no, I won’t help you, what are you mad? Triple H, you have something I want, the World Heavyweight title, I am not putting another chance at risk to deal with HBK and Ric Flair ok? From this point on, I think only about Chris Jericho, me, it’s all about me, I mean that was your advice to me a couple weeks ago right? Good luck tonight champ, and good luck in your little daytime soap, it’s quite intriguing.
Y2J walks away as Triple H shakes his head in disgust.
BACKSTAGE:
Jeff Hardy limps through the hallways of the arena on his way to the locker room when he bumps into the Intercontinental Champion Christian.
Christian: Hey Jeff, I must say you did give me quite the surprise last week ambushing me with the chair and all, but you know how I roll, Captain Charisma can’t take a chair shot any day, but looks to me like Jeff Hardy can’t take any shots at all! What did Test hit you too hard, he plays rough doesn’t he?
Hardy just stares daggers through him.
Christian: Well Eric Bischoff just wanted me to tell you that in 3 short weeks at the Raw 3 hour Spectacular, we are going to have a little match, for my Intercontinental Championship to be exact. It’s a match we are both quite skilled in, but judging by the shape you’re in, maybe not you, Jeff, it’s going to be a ladder match! Good luck, sleep well, I will see you next week, heading out to a party with my peeps, you know how Captain Charisma rolls baby!
Christian walks past Hardy and out the arena door while Hardy sighs heavily.
3 Minute Warning’s music hits as 3 Minute Warning come out of the gate holding the Dudley’s World Tag titles.
JR: These are 2 scary individuals, they…wait…are those the World Tag Titles King?
King: They sure do look like it JR, they must have stolen them last week after destroying the Dudley Boys! I am just getting word from management that the Dudley Boys will defend their World Tag Titles against 3 Minute Warning at the 3 Hour Spectacular! How can the Dudley’s defend them if 3 Minute Warning possesses them?
Ric Flair’s music as the Nature Boy makes his way to the ring.
JR: This tale of deceitfulness and loyalty is a tree with a lot of branches King, I am even getting confused, but it appears the HBK and Flair are actually on the same page, how HBK can tag with Flair is beyond me after what Flair had him do at Backlash!
HBK’s music hits as Shawn Michaels comes out of the gate and walks down to where Ric Flair is and both men enter the ring.
JR: Well King, seems like these men have grown very close since the little Backlash incident, but if that’s what it will take to beat 3 Minute Warning here tonight, I will support both of these gentlemen, even though I wouldn’t trust Ric Flair as far as I can spit!
Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels vs. 3 Minute Warning

HBK shakes his head and begins to crawl towards Ric Flair. He is mere feet away from Flair’s extended hand, but Jamal comes in and pulls him in by the ankle and nails a huge elbow drop onto HBK’s back.
JR: Oh come on! HBK has a bad back to begin with, he has taken many shots to the spine by these huge men, there’s no need for this! I don’t care what Triple H says, this match should not be happening!
King: Oh JR, you know Triple H’s intentions were good, he just wanted to sharpen Flair and HBK’s skills for their big match in 2 weeks…
JR: My Oklahoma Sooner Ass King! Let’s see what happens if Triple H enters that ring with 3 Minute Warning! Triple H is such a big man? Let’s see him step up! That’s exactly why Ric Flair is on the rocks with Evolution! Triple H was the creator of Evolution and now is going to be its downfall!

King: I don’t know what to think JR, last week 3 Minute Warning beat the hell out of the Dudley Boys and literally stole the World Tag Titles, then this week 3 Minute Warning destroys 2 of the 4 World title competitors! Can these men be stopped?
BACKSTAGE:
Coach is standing with the World Heavyweight Champion Triple H
Coach: Triple H, now given you just saw what just happened out there in that ring, what effect does 3 Minute Warning’s victory over HBK and Ric Flair have over the huge Fatal Four Way match in 2 weeks right here on Raw?
HHH: That’s a very good question Coach, it’s damn simple, a quick pay off to 3 Minute Warning and 2 out of 3 of my opponents aren’t 100% and that’s for damn sure, did you see them after the match? All that’s left for the Game now is one man, the man I fought at Backlash, that being Y2J Chris Jericho. You see, now I don’t have to worry about a damn thing, Ric Flair, the naïve man that he is, and HBK Shawn Michaels are out of the picture, and I have defeated Chris Jericho before, so it’s smooth sailing for the Game from here on out…
Coach: Well may I ask your current situation with Ric Flair at this point?
HHH: Coach, that’s a question for after the 3 Hour Spectacular. You see, I’ll play Flair’s mind games, because if there’s anyone that could play mind games a little better than Ric Flair, it’s me jack, so I am playing along, Evolution is now put on hold until after I re establish why I am the leader, the Game, the Cerebral Assassin, Triple H.

Raw 3 Hour Spectacular- Fatal Four Way Hype
JR: Well King I don’t know if we have ever seen a more in depth, more complicated, title picture than we have right now. The betrayal, the friendships, it’s been amazing, but I believe that the Game has been pulling the strings all along. He has been in on it since the start that’s how both Ric Flair and HBK were dismantled moments ago, HHH has had one thing always on his mind and that’s the World title!
King: Well, that and Evolution…
JR: Don’t be too sure about that King!
Chris Jericho’s theme music hits as Y2J comes down the ramp.
JR: King, I am starting to think that Jericho might be the favorite going into this Fatal Four Way match. Just look at it King, Jericho is the only man not involved in this whole situation, Jericho is for the first time thinking of Chris Jericho as being the next World Champion, and with Triple H distracted, his dream just might become a reality!
King: JR, you might be stupider than Jericho himself! Chris Jericho couldn’t get the job done at Backlash going one on one with the Game, what makes you think he can get the job done with Triple H along with 2 other men?
Triple H’s music hits as the World Heavyweight Champion comes down the ramp.
King: Now, as you were saying JR, I completely agree, I believe Triple H has been manning the wheel since the start. I he continues to play his cards right he will have the World Title exactly where he wants it, around his waist.
JR: Well King, I wouldn’t count out Chris Jericho in a million years, let alone Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels. The Game might be a little over his head, maybe he didn’t think everything through, nobody’s perfect, even if you are the Game.

Jericho pulls starts pulling his hair out in pain. Triple H starts putting more pressure on and Jericho taps out.
WINNER: Triple H
JR: What a despicable move by the Game Triple H! What a low blow to the Nature Boy Ric Flair, not only using his signature hard chop, not only stylin’ and profilin’, but using Nay-tch’s signature Figure Four Leg Lock to win the match! Disgusting, King, this is disgusting!
King: JR, so what, he won the match, he did it his way, that’s how he is doing these now a days. JR, tonight was Triple H’s night, no doubt about it. He took out all 3 of his opponents for the 3 Hour Spectacular all in one night!
Triple H smirks and holds up the World title. Jericho slides out of the ring and kicks the steps limping up the ramp.
JR: I still say Jericho cannot help but to have a gallant effort in any match he is in, Triple H just got the best of his tonight…
King: Oh please JR, it’s time for you to listen to reason. Ever since WrestleMania, Jericho’s record against the Game is 1-2, that’s not that great JR…
JR: Well nothing is for certain until the 3 Hour Spectacular, we will see you next week everybody, for JR and Jerry the King Lawler, good night everybody!
