TONIGHT: The Rock & Sock Connection are here! Well, where else would they be already? Plus, we'll take you back to the wedding that never happened because of the wedding that did! How will Vince, Shane, and Stephanie react? Stick around, folks - you've only got a few more minutes of Walker to sit through!

Closed captioned symbol - Opening Credits

FIREWORKS! It's like going back to your parents house- everything is so familiar as WE ARE LIVE from the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, MA 6.12.99 - tonight...RAW IS WAR! Now here's something you may not have expected to start off the show...a MATCH! A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! With a

NEW AGE OUTLAWS v. TOO COOL (with Rikishi Phatu) - Oh oh - Gunn's earring fell out! I HATE when that happens! These guys are heels, right? I forget when they do that whole shtick they do. Nope, that IS how they spelled Fatu's name this time. Too Cool have new music - what was so bad about their last music? Road Dogg, a master of the pantomime, tells referee "Blind" Mike Chioda "that guy needs to get his big ass outta here!" Gunn removes the ceremonial robes, checks out the goods, and then brandishes his OWN derreire as an example of how one's ass SHOULD look. Rikishi promptly delivers a superkick to Gunn, then crotch chops on him, much to the crowd's delight. The opening bell hits here, Scotty 2 Hotty with a great chance to do the Worm, the karate chop, then to moonwalk over, pop, lock, and hit a right. Gunn counters with Snake Eyes. Off the ropes, biiiiiiig back body drop. Knockdown, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, well now he's just throwing a tantrum. Run into Dogg's boot, tag, a little dancin' punch of his own here. In the corner, six kicks, (like I was gonna type "kick" five more times), blind tag, off the ropes, reversed, ducked, Sexay hits Uncle Slam on the Dogg. Into the corner - running head to the gut. The Grand Master busting a move of his own, Dogg punching back - whip into the opposite corner, Christopher puts up a boot and hits a bulldog out of the rope. Off the ropes, duck, left, left, left, juke, snaps the goggles on his face for good measure, right, wiggly wobbly wooply kneedrop, 1, 2, Taylor breaks it up. Gunn in with a punch on Taylor, distracting Chioda. Behind his back, the doubleteam is on and next thing you, Dogg is being set up for the Vegomatic! Cover - no ref - now the HOLLYS are out - now Rikishi is in - oh my, what's going on. DDT ON THE CHAIR ON RIKISHI! Gunn manages a jackhammer on Taylor while Dogg punches away on Christopher - bell finally rings (DQ? 3:38) and the Hollys' theme plays. I guess the Hollys won!

Backstage, a limo arrives. Why, it's Stephanie McMahon! She's got some papers! Let Us Take You Back to SmackDown! where Stephanie asked her brother and her father to promise to let her handle this her way.

Let Us Take You Back to Moments Ago where the Hollys ran in and attacked Too Cool (so I'd give that one to Too Cool if I were doing that Ladder - thank God I'm not, eh Jeremy?) AND gave a DDT on a chair to Rikishi. We learn that Hardcore Holly has challenged Rikishi for later in the show.

MANKIND walks to the ring as we take a look at the New York Times Bestseller List - with a certain sports entertainer at #1. "Hello, Worcester Mass! I'd just like to take one second to thank all of Worcester and everybody around the country for making my book, Have a Nice Day, the #1 book in the country! So if it makes us feel any better, I want you to know the entire literary world not only hates me but they hate all of you for making it #1. But now, as you know I've had my share of problems concerning two friends, and I'd like to address that by pointing your eyes to the video screen, the TitanTron, airing a little footage of Mr. Al Snow. There's Al taking a cheap shot at the Great One, putting the boots, and now he's got a couple of new buddies I guess, I don't know - you see D-Generation X Al - that's cheap, and the Rock deserves a little bit better than that.

WWF Armageddon promo is heavy on Vince McMahon and Triple H

Wanna buy WrestleMania 2000? Get it at DIGITAL STUFF!

Stephanie reminds her father that he promised her. Vince says fine, but if he does anything to her tonight, he's comoing for him, TOP be damned. Stephanie says she'll take care of it herself, and she knows at Armageddon Vince will take care of Triple H. Then they have a father/daughter moment..at least I HOPE that's what that look was...brrr...

RAW is WAR is brought to you by Vigilante 8: Second Offense, the JVCkaboom!box, and M&M's! But I thought M&M pulled their ads?

HARDY BOYZ (with Headlights) v. CELEBRATED OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND REAL ATHLETE KURT ANGLE & STEVE BLACKMAN (with Riggs & Murtaugh) - "Your Olympic hero has arrived in Worcester Massachusetts! As all of you know, I have built a lifetime of success over a simple set of rules that I call the three I's - Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence. And I'm living proof that no matter where you're from and no matter what you do, you can accomplish anything - even in a depressed town like Worcester! Now what I'd like to do is introduce my tag team partner - the Lethal Weapon Steve Blackman!" Blackman once again wields the cool dayglo batons, putting Kid Romeo to shame. As he walks down the aisle, a strange symbol takes over the TitanTron for a moment. It's hardly worth mentioning...except...well, back to Angle. "Now last week Mr. Blackman assisted me with MY big win over the Head Bangers. Thank you.

Stephanie - is - WALKING! She stops in front of a door - takes a deep breath - but - THAT'S THE DX DOOR!!!

WWF: The Music (Volume 4) ad

We're now inside the DX locker room as Stephanie asks Triple H to sign "these annulment papers." X-Pac tells Steph that the Outlaws are already in the shower - why doesn't she go ahead, he'll be there in a minute. "Hey! That's my wife, man!" Stephanie again tries to be serious as X-Pac and H cover their mouths to hide their big ol' grins. Triple H got what he wanted, he drove Vince nuts. It's over! Please sign the papers! "Okay, okay, in all seriousness - are we gettin' in the shower or not?" Again, H calls her back pretending to be serious. You know what's funny about this? She falls for it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

BALD VENIS v. D'LO BROWN for the #1 European title contendership - Venis only manages to belt out "Hello Ladies" before Brown's music interrupts him, so I don't know if he's a face or a heel this week. Winner of this match gets Bulldog at Armageddon. Venis interrupts Brown's pose on the ringpost to start. Lotsa punching. Off the ropes we go, reversal, duck, back elbow, elbowdrop, off the ropes, kneedrop, cover, 1, 2, nope, it's fast! Brown hits his rights, off the ropes, Venis buries a knee, Perfectplex, 1, 2, no (that move NEVER works!) Venis takes Brown's head to the buckle. Now wailing away with rights, Brown trades places and lets loose with some knife-edge chops - there's a leg lariat, scoop and a slam, standing flourished legdrop for 2. Brown to the top - Venis crotches him and climbs up as well - superplex! I think Venis called a spot in there. 1, 2, no! Now they're trading punches - nope, BRITISH BULLDOG & MEAN STREET POSSE are out and attacking BOTH men. Running powerslam for Venis while Rodney hits a Buff Blockbuster on Venis. No closing bell, let's call it (no contest 2:22) - so who gets the title shot? Hey, why not both of them?

Fabulous Moolah & Mae Young are on their way to the Billboard Music Awards - Young is wearing a backwards cap and spilling a 40. "Mae what are you doing?" "I'm pouring it for my homiez!" "Why don't you save that for Wednesday night for the Billboard Music Awards?" "Word." "Don't you know your favourite band is going to be there, DMX?" "Where's mah dogs at!" "Oh Mae, please, you one crazy ol' cracka."

The Rock & Mankind talk about ... something.

DX huddles around the papers Stephanie left behind.

GODFATHER (with ten - no, five ho's) v. PRINCE ALBERT - Tonight, the Big Show takes on Big Vis - put your children to bed early! This match came about from last night's Heat matchup where Albert helped Bossman score the fall against the Godfather with timely distraction - so someone's looking for revenge tonight. Lockup, nope. Kick from Albert, uppercut, uppercut, off the ropes, big knockdown. Scoop - and a slam. Off the ropes, splash misses. Right, right, off the ropes, back elbow, clothesline, scoop slam, off the ropes, duck, Albert with a double choke into a sitout powerbomb. Words for the ho's. Into the corner, into the opposite corner, wow! Running splash! Scissors kick for 2. Albert to the rear chinlock. Godfather coming back up and elbowing out. Off the ropes, Albert buries a knee. Albert puts him on the second rope and chokes him in front of the ho's. Godfather coming back with kicks. Albert puts him in the corner and stands on the neck. Out of the corner with an Irish whip. Running at him, sidestepped, Albert puts the breaks on, but ends up running into a backdrop suplex from the Godfather. Off the ropes, drop toehold, elbowdrop, off the ropes again, big boot. Off the ropes, legdrop! I think it's getting close to the time. Whip into the opposite corner, reversed, Godfather puts up a boot. Hard into the corner and NOW it's time once again for everybody to come aboard the HOOOO TRAIN. Cover, 1, 2, 3. (3:44) Give it A MILLION STARS!

Backstage, Triple H - is - WALKING! Solemn-faced, he also carries the papers...and a bouquet of roses... An exterior shot confirms that the building is named the "Centrum in Worcester" And it's sold out! Ross thanks us for setting the record-setting TV ratings last week.

TREBLE H enters the ring with the RAW credits and TV-14-DLV ratings box. "You know I come out here week after week - you people have made it pretty clear how you feel about me - what's that word you call me? Yeah, you've made it pretty clear how you feel about me, but just for the record - just so you know, I feel the EXACT same way about EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. So now that we've cleared that up - you know how I feel, I know how you feel - I'd like to ask ya a little question.

Backstage, Vince, Gerald and Patrick are talking - Mankind appears - he's got a daughter himself, so he can emphathise. Yeah, Mick, what is she, six? I'm sure you have to deal with drugged marriages all the time with her. Anyway, Foley offers any help he can with a No Holds Barred match.

HARDCORE HOLLY (with Crash & Scale Holly) v. RIKISHI PHATU (with Too Cool & no entrance) - Let Us Take You Back to Earlier Tonight - no, never mind. There's a uranage. Here's a Banzai Drop. Whoops, it's over. (:36) Oh, Too Cool may have joined LARRY KING & JERRY LAWLER on commentary - I missed it. I believe they both called him a mofo. Crash and Hardcore do a bit of fighting while Too Cool enters the ring for a dance routine which I believe takes longer than the match..

Hello nurse! She's GREASING HERSELF UP!

"What are you doing now?" "Living La Vida Loco." "Please, don't you dare do that in front of Ricky Martin Wednesday night at the Billboard Music Awards." "You're wasting my flava!" "Talk to the hand, girlfriend." "(raspberry)"

Mech Warrior 3 presents the WWF Rewind! From last week on RAW, Miss Kitty takes a fire extinguisher to Chris Jericho. Last Thursday on SmackDown!, Chyna got another belt shot on Jericho. Vengeful bitch, ain't she?

Coming up tonight: Big Show & Viscera! We promise there MAY eventually be wrestling tonight!

MICHAEL KING COLE welcomes B.B. to the ring? Most overused line of the night - "B.B.? Looks more like D.D. to me!" Strangely enough, her hair is done EXACTLY like Sable used to do it. Before Cole can ask her first question, IVORY's music starts up and out she bounds. "Oh, please - please Babs - spare us the dialog Babs, I mean we don't want you to burst a brain cell trying to form a sentence or anything! I can tell by the looks of those boobs that you've spent quite a bit of money on an enhancement - too bad you can't BUY a brain enhancement. Your boobs really are quite enormous. Ahh, Boy Toy, could you hold this for me? Thank you so much. You're a very good Boy Toy. Babs, you might never find yourself on the cover of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY! But you know, maybe someday she could be the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Lord knows, by the look of that supply, if you could learn to just share a little, you could FEED THE WORLD! Listen, you really don't belong in the ring, okay? And I am going to take much pleasure in peeling the clothes off of your body at Armageddon's four corner evening gown match!" Hey, here's JACQUELINE also rouged and greased up nicely - during HER entrance, the EntertainmentTron is again taken over by a strange symbol as the entire arena is bathed in orange. Hmm....back to Jackie. "Shut up - BIG MOUTH! I've already kicked your ASS in the gravy bowl match! Now this Sunday at the pay-per-view, I'm gonna win that four corner match - you got it?" "Hey listen, we got - what, one two three, Boy Toy, are you gonna put on a skirt on and join us, or what - who is the fourth contender?" Some familiar music starts up and THAT SLUT CHYNA & MISS KITTY appear 'neath the EntertainmentTron. Somehow I'm thinking it isn't Chyna... "Don't worry, although there's a few of you ladies out there I'd really like to choke out, it's not me so you can clean the crap from your little lingerie panties in just a second - Kitty, you are gonna be the fourth competitor in the Evening Gown match. I'm gonna be busy, I have to throw Chris Jericho around, you're it. I signed ya up." "No! You can't do that! You don't understand! That means I might get stripped down to my bra and panties!" "Kitty, what's the big deal? Who cares?" "No! Chyna, you don't understand - I don't wear underwear!" "Well, Kitty you're just gonna have to win, aren'tcha?" Ivory mouths "no panties?" and has a rather priceless look. Chyna's a strange one - obviously she's got these lesbian leanings, and yet she didn't seem to know that Kitty didn't wear underwear - so what exactly do they DO all they in those "Master" & "slave" shirts?

Oh no! Viscera and the Big Show don't want to wait for their match! They're fighting backstage! Wow! Show through a table as Viscera splashed him! Can all those referees and officials break them up?

THROUGH HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE IT'S KANE (with Tori) & TEST v. X-PAC & TREBLE H - Hmm, no pyro set up for the DX'ers - I guess we'll get a sneak attack before the bell - thank you. Kane takes X-Pac to the corner, Triple H in and the doubleteam is on - but Kane just knocks them both down. X-Pac taken ou, off the ropes, facebuster from Triple H, clothesline from Kane. Tag to Test, open shot, off the ropes, duck, powerslam - 1, 2, no. Right, off the ropes, reversed, X-Pac kicks the back, but it doesn't hurt - Test turns around and decks X-Pac - but H from behind hits a high knee to take him out. As Kane distracts referee "Blind" Mike Chioda, X-Pac hits the now infamous spinning heel kick on Test. Back in the ring, doubleteam stomping on Test in the corner. Double suplex coming up - nicely done. Running kneedrop from Triple H - 2 count. Tag to X-Pac. Knife-edge chop, again, kick, snapmare takeover, off the ropes with a Lightning legdrop. Kneedrop. Right, right from Test, another, right, X-Pac ducks - off the ropes, big leg from X-Pac - only 2. X-Pac on the second rope - but Test buries a shot in the gut as he comes off. Gutwrench into the powerbomb. Both men down - both men tag. KANE IS ON FIRE! Heh heh, no pun intended. Awesome clotheslines (well, not really). Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for X-Pac. H from behind. Into the corner, Kane puts up an elbow. Test in and he's got Triple H with a two rotation sidewalk slam - decking X-Pac in the process with H's feet. Kane on the top turnbuckle - flying clothesline! Tag to Test - I smell a top-rope elbow - and I am wrong as X-Pac crotches him. Kane hits X-Pac and he's to the floor. Kane out after him. Tori in the ring, X-Pac on Tori - Kane's caught up - kicked away, though. In the corner, Tori is immobilised - going for the broncobuster - but Kane is there in time and catches him in a choke. Throwing him outside, Kane and X-Pac brawl and divert Chioda. Back IN the ring, H is ready for the Pedigree, but Test backdrops him. Gutshot - pump handle - H up and over, there's a Golota - Pedigree - that's it. (5:23) Kane slides in too late to help...

Let Us Take You Back to Earlier Tonight as Viscera put Big Show through a table - their match is two minutes away - NEXT! Well, that's what Ross said anyway..

Al Snow talks to....who?

Mech Warrior 3 brings you Armageddon - SUNDAY!!

WELL IT'S THE BIG SHOW

"You're a nasty bastard...and your momma said so!" For some reason, that's HILARIOUS. Don't know if it makes up for the overal cheesiness of the whole angle, but...damn, it does make Bossman a vicious sort, though, don't it?

Let Us Take You Back to Moments Ago - or you could go read two paragraphs up again

Big Show's on the phone - "Why the lie? For 27 years?" Ewww, he's drooling again. He's got to STOP doing that!

ROCK & SOCK CONNECTION v. AL SNOW (with Head) & ? - Next Monday, Rock will be at the Miami Heat Store, where RAW tix will be on sale - well, that's what I heard. Hey, his partner isn't Head, is it? Blue Meanie? Yeah, sure. Let Us Take You Back to Earlier Tonight...Let's Bring You Back where Snow is striking a Raven-esque pose - oh, yeah, that's also Jericho's pose from the other side - yes, the Y2J countdown brings us to CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO. "Welcome to RAW is ... And let me just say, Al Snow, that it is an absolute honour and a pleasure for you to have me as your tag team partner this evening. Thank you. I know that it's tremendous for you to even be associated with the Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah - the most legendary, most popular performer that this company has ever seen - and most importantly of all, you've found someone who hates these two idiots as much as you do - I mean Rock, shame on you for choosing such a feeble-minded, portly, braggard of a tag team partner - 'oh, I'm a #1 Best Selling author' - big deal! I've sold a million of these [holding a CD] bad boys by just allowing my swingin' super sexy theme song to be the Opening track [and he flings it] - and Mike Foley, how stupid are you to choose such a goofy-looking, uncharis--" Well at this point Jericho is waffled from behind by THAT SLUT CHYNA who put in a cameo with MISS KITTY and then disappeared as Rock climbed up to take it to Jericho. Meanwhile, Snow and Mankind are trading blows. It's two - two - two brawls in one! Rock rolls Jericho in the ring and the opening bell sounds. Meanwhile, Snow goes up, over the commentary table and to the floor. Mankind stomping away. Jericho's got the upper hand, no, Rock reverses and punches away.
