Night Raw
Date: June 3, 2002
Location: American Airlines Arena, Dallas, Texas
Attendance: 7,800
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
Opening sequence.
Hardcore Title: Bradshaw vs. Steven Richards
Kevin Nash gives the NWO a speech when Goldust comes in, dressed as Coach (meaning in a collared Raw shirt). He wants on the team so Nash says the winner of X-Pac and Goldust can be on the team.
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Goldust vs. X-Pac
Arn is furious, as he should be. Benoit comes in and toilet cleaning jokes are made.
Bubba Ray Dudley/Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero/Brock Lesnar
We look at the Tough Enough II finale. This would be the one where there were two female winners despite almost no mention of the “one man, one woman winner” from the first season. It says a lot when the host seemed confused by the result too, though the finalists seemed to know as the second female winner was looking anxious at the reveal.
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Booker T. vs. William Regal
Non-title. Regal takes him to the mat as you would expect, followed by a shoulder block for two. The knee trembler gets the same but Booker chops him back and gets two off the ax kick. Regal goes outside and grabs a chair and the European Title. The referee gets rid of the first but Booker uses the belt for the easy pin.
Rating: C-. Two talented hands having a match for the sake of having a match, meaning no one cared. The European Title means nothing and the NWO is just there so why should anyone care about either of these two advancing to the final eight that they only have a prayer of winning?
Booker does a Spinarooni.
Tommy Dreamer gets sick in a bucket at the thought of having to face Undertaker.
WWE World Title: Undertaker vs. Tommy Dreamer
Undertaker is defending and Dreamer brings the bucket with him because we need this gag to continue. Dreamer gets sick again so Undertaker freaks out, allowing Tommy to get in some shots to the head. A powerslam on the floor makes Dreamer sick again and this is hard to watch. Undertaker elbows him in the face a few times and a chokeslam sets up the dragon sleeper to retain.
Back from a break and Undertaker beats up Matt to send a message to Jeff.
Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair
Another Stunner and beer drinking end the show.
