Night Raw
Date: March 17, 2003
Location: Scottrade Center, St. Louis, Missouri
Commentators: Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross
We open, again, with Bischoff, who says that his match with Austin will be a handicap match. He makes it even bigger by saying the Raw superstars will be the lumberjacks. Thanks for clarifying that as I was thinking it might be, like, the 1984 Atlanta Hawks or the cast of Tremors: The Series.
Chief Morley/Lance Storm vs. Rob Van Dam/Kane
Morley threatens the Dudleys with SEVERE consequences if they interfere here. The fans chant USA which tells me one of two things: they want Van Dam to win this on his own or they have no idea that Kane is from Spain. The monster slugs Morley down in the corner and drops him with a clothesline before tagging Van Dam in for the first time. Something like Rolling Thunder gets two on Morley but he drops Van Dam on the top rope to take over.
Post break the Dudleys say they hate what they just had to do but need to feed their families. Simple story but at least it makes sense and was an actual explanation for a change.
HHH wants Goldust later tonight.
Rico vs. Maven
Teddy Long tells Rock that Rodney Mack will take care of Hurricane next. Rodney Mack says the same thing, marking the biggest moment of his career: that time he was on camera with the Rock.
Hurricane vs. Rodney Mack
Jazz/Trish Stratus vs. Victoria/Steven Richards
Jeff Hardy runs out to save Trish and gets a kiss for his efforts.
Chris Jericho says he wanted to be Shawn Michaels but now he wants to end him.
Test/Scott Steiner vs. Christian/Chris Jericho
HHH vs. Goldust
Steve Austin vs. Eric Bischoff
Austin gets a Rock Bottom and Rock sips at a beer to end the show.
