WWF RAW 2/11/2002

Our video shows the promo for the Steph/Triple H wedding vow renewal, with clips of Steph in her gown (for her wedding with Test, of course) and the obvious false statement of this being the only storybook wedding in the WWF. Anyway… The pyro flares and the crowd roars, and we are LIVE from Little Rock, where we’ll see Torrie vs. Stacy in a Bikini Match. But first…

Undertaker Interview
Taker rolls out and down to the ring. Damn, that’s what he calls an ovation. Taker didn’t know what to expect, but now he knows they respect the man who finally shut the Rock’s mouth. Oh, now the fans want to boo, like the backwoods response he expected from these drunken hillbillies. He learned a long time ago to not look for much respect from those who can’t respect themselves. Last Thursday, however, a man who has nothing but respect for himself, showed Taker no respect at all. Rock cost him the Hardcore Title. Nobody disrespects him like that, because if you do, you’ll end up like Rock did, getting Tombstoned on a car. But it doesn’t end there. No, we’re just getting started. The beatings will continue until he teaches Rock the word ‘respect.’ …dun…dun…dun…Dun Dun! WWF Co-Owner Ric Flair comes out and steps straight into Taker’s Yard. Flair wants to follow through on what Taker is talking about, because in Flair’s opinion, Taker was the most respected wrestler of all time, from the ring to the dressing room. Whether the fans liked him or hated him, they respected him. But last Thursday, he lost all that respect. He gave Rock a concussion and a serious neck injury. Who are you, Taker yells, to say you don’t respect me? Well, he’s Ric Flair, and he owns half the company. Well when Vince gives Taker the word, he’ll bust Flair’s ass. Until that happens, Flair says, he has some bad news for Taker. Firstly, Rock will indeed be at No Way Out, and he’ll bring everything he has. Secondly, tonight, Taker will have to fight…Steve Austin! WHOO!

In the back, Jericho makes his way to the ring.

“The End” plays, and another nWo promo airs, with the No Way Out sign seemingly guaranteeing their return at that particular PPV. Fade Out.

Jericho grabs his WWF Title belt and re-enters the ring, but Edge Spears him down 1-2-shoulder up! Jericho hits Edge in the ribs with the Title belt and quickly hits the Breakdown 1-2-3!

In the back, Michael Cole asks Vince why he’s here. Vince says that it may be because he likes hogs… or maybe it’s because he’s still the Co-Owner… or maybe because this is the last Raw before the nWo takes over at No Way Out. Cole asks if it may be so he can walk Steph down the aisle, but only says that may be it. Fade Out.

In the back, Triple H looks at a video of Kurt attacking him and gets very upset, but Steph stops him. She reassures him that she is fine, as is the baby. Trips says he promised not to attacked Kurt tonight, but he’s got something to attend to right now.

RVD whips Goldust into a Rikishi Superkick, knocking him out of the ring. Fade Out.

In the back, Trips receives a package from Arn Anderson.

Coach asks Stone Cold about his match with the Undertaker, and how it may affect him against Jericho on Sunday. Austin says he’s excited now, but when he got here, he was nervous, because this is a dry county. What?!? A dry county? He got hives, his liver is twisted. So he got Debra, went to the liqour store, got beer, vodka, tequilla, whiskey, and more beer, so he can drink all night long in this place. But now he’s excited because he gets to fight the Phenom, the Dead Man, the Undertaker. Taker called these people hillbillies? Eh-eh. Austin and these fans are going to disrespect all over the Dead Man’s ass. On to Sunday, he’s going to take those Undisputed Titles, because Stone Cold said so. Now he’s got a guy’s ass to kick, and a whole lot of drinking to do. Fade Out.

Angle with a knee wrench into the AngleLock for the quick submission victory. After the match, Kurt again goes for the AngleLock and then stomps Godfather out of the ring. Angle takes a mic. Tonight is supposed to be Triple H’s special night. Well that’s fine, even though Steph could do much better. He’s here now to make a personal vow of his own. He, Kurt Angle, hereby takes this match at No Way Out, to kick Triple H’s butt, to make him tap, to take his WrestleMania Title Shot, and to become the Undisputed Champion, as long as they both shall live. Amen.

Another nWo promo, with Nash laying down for Hogan, and then all their antics throughout the WCW. Fade Out.

As the realization that Steph has been lying sets in, Trips stands speechless, his face turning from disbelief to complete anger.

In another room, Steph shows off her dress to the singers. Vince comes in and gets the singers to leave. Vince says Steph looks nice.

As they embrace, Fink rushes in to warn Vince, but Vince forces him out before he can relay the message. Fade Out.

Triple H/Stephanie Renew Their Wedding Vows
Triple H comes out to his music, oddly with a smile on his face. “Here Comes The Bride” plays, and Stephanie and Vince come out, the father walking his daughter down the aisle once again. We are gathered here tonight, to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments, to add to the words which will once again join Hunter and Stephanie in marriage. Let them act so they never bring shame into their union. Help them remember to be each other’s sweetheart so they may meet the problems of life more bravely. May the home they create tonight truly be a place of love and harmony. Bless this marriage we pray. The singers come out of the ramp and sing for the couple. The whole time, Steph presents a larger-than-life smile and sways to the music, looking from her husband to the singers to her father and back again. On the other hand, Trips stares, giving his wife a loving smirk when she looks at him, a deep glare when she isn’t. Now, the most important part of the ceremony. Each has written their own vows. Steph takes Hunter as her husband again, in front of the entire world because she wants to share how she felt since she first laid eyes on him. His smile lights up her heart. His touch makes her feel safe. His words give her encouragement. They were destined to be with each other. She loves him. Now, it’s Hunter’s turn. That was so beautiful, he says. He’s overwhelmed. He too wants to stand in front of the world and say how he feels about her. How he felt since the moment he saw her, and how he feels right now. They’ve been together for more than two years, through ups and downs. Despite it all, when she said Trips would be a father, it was the greatest moment of his life. Since that day, he’s seen Steph differently, as his wife and the mother of his child. When your wife is pregnant, you love her more. Standing here in front of the world, after hearing those words, he sees her in a different light again: not just as the loving wife, the mother of his child, but as the no-good lying bitch she really is! How could she do this to him? She lied and used his emotions against him. She got an actor to play doctor and try to show a picture of their unborn child. He admits he’s done some bad things, but even he would not go this low. She disgusts him. She cares about nothing but herself. It wasn’t about “us”, only “you.” That’s fine though, because she won’t have to worry about “us” any longer. As of this moment, the marriage is over! They are through! Vince pushes Triple H back, so Trips nails him. Trips smashes the decorations, tossing them everywhich way. He takes Vince and Pedigrees him in front of Stephanie. Steph shouts at him for ruining her moment, so he tosses her over Vince’s body. Trips takes off his wedding ring and throws it at her. He storms up the ramp, as Stephanie screams like a woman possessed. End Marriage; End Show.
