We started off Raw with a Goldberg segment. I didn't get to see it as I was at work, but I gathered that he speared
Steven Richards, and then Christian and 3 minute warning all said that he wasn't welcome in the WWE-he had to earn his stripes
basically. A lot of other stuff happened tonight also. HHH and Ric Flair got a Tag Title shot against Rob Van
Dam and Kane. Trips and Flair kept working on RVD!'s leg, and had him down for the majority of the match, but Kane got
in and started kicking butt. HHH then took over, gave a huge DDT to RVD!, and was about to Pedigree Kane, when Kevin
Nash came out with a sledge hammer (HHH's patented weapon). Nash chased HHH around the arena and backstage as Kane choke
slammed Flair, and RVD! gave the FIVE STAR FROGSPLASH! for the pin. (I am a big fan of RVD, and his Five star frogsplash,
that is why it is in caps, and ! after RVD, etc.) We saw some more of the angle betwixt Test, Stacy, and Steiner.
They had a tag match together against Nowinski and Rico. They beat them, and Stacy hugged Freakzilla, so Test got angry,
blah blah blah. Test and Stacy left, and "La resistance" the new French tag team came out to get some payback on Steiner
after what he said about France two weeks ago. Rene Dupree and Sylvan something proceeded to beat Steiner until their
point was made. Rodney Mack defeated another nameless "White Boy" and Teddy Long and Jazz came out and celebrated.
Afterwards, Trish came to Bischoff and said that she wanted a rematch against Jazz for the Women's Title, and Sleazy E decided
that she would have to beat him in the match that night, or else no rematch, and he would get Trish for the whole night.
In that match, we saw Jazz, Victoria, and Teddy Long interfere for Bischoff. He then pinned Trish, and told about how
much fun he would have with her that night. Then, we saw a limousine pull up. I thought it would be Vince,
BUT, it was none other than LINDA McMahon. In the storyline, and I think in real life, she is the CEO and head of board
of directors for the company. She then came to the ring, and was talking to Sleazy E, said how some Board members thought
he didn't deserve to be Raw General Manager at all, but, instead they came to a compromise, and that he would share the duty
with someone else. As she was telling the other person to come out, I thought it was going to be Mick Foley or Shane
McMahon, but it was The Rattlesnake, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!!!!! He then talked to Bischoff, shook his hand, and
gave him the Stunner. Overall, it was a very unpredictable and entertaining Raw.
