Night Raw
Date: June 10, 2002
Location: Phillips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
Attendance: 8,000
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
On top of that, Austin had been doing some really stupid angles over the last few weeks. Whether it was the WAY too long feud with the NWO or relieving himself on Arn Anderson or probably making Ric Flair clean the toilets, Austin was a pretty long way away from his must see war against Vince McMahon and headlining Wrestlemania with the Rock. Austin deserved better than this and should have been in the World Title picture instead of taking care of all these people in Raw in a glorified midcard role.
Anyway, on with the show.
Opening sequence.
Spike Dudley/Shawn Stasiak/Tommy Dreamer vs. NWO
After a break, Booker runs into Goldust (now in an afro as the Undercover Brother), who wants Booker to drop the team because, I kid you now, Shawn might be a racist.
Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero try to talk Flair out of this and get nowhere.
European Title: William Regal vs. Bradshaw
GET THE F OUT!
Molly Holly vs. Trish Stratus
Arn Anderson (thankfully in a clean shirt) tries to talk Vince out of this.
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam
Undertaker arrives.
Moving on, Jeff Hardy dropkicked him into human vomit. JR: “Not any kind of vomit. HUMAN VOMIT!” Cue Matt Hardy with a ladder for a distraction so Jeff can get in a few shots. The beatdown is on but the brothers manage to drop him with the ladder before bailing. So they go from a big time tag team to getting squashed by Brock Lesnar to feuding with the World Champion in a side story while we wait on Undertaker vs. HHH?
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Brock Lesnar vs. Bubba Ray Dudley
Rating: D+. Watchable power match here with Lesnar looking a little better than usual. Granted that might be due to not having Van Dam and Guerrero around him to really show off how much better they are. Bubba is a good first feud for Lesnar but they really need to have good hands in there to walk Brock through these matches.
After a break, Heyman offers Brock to Vince. Once Vince gets total control, he should call Heyman, who has a great idea for King of the Ring.
Vince McMahon vs. Ric Flair
