Main Event. Undertaker vs. Steiner  #1 Contender's Match
Steiner was walking to the ring when Flair attacked him from behind. Undertaker didn't seem to pleased with the help. These two stars knew how important a title shot is so they pulled out all the stops. They brought a ladder, steps, a crutch and a table into the ring. The match ended when Steiner pinned Taker after an overhead belly-to-belly.

Nitro
Match 1. Edge vs. D-Von
This has to be D-Von's first appearance in months. This was a pretty short match. D-Von hit Edge with some chops across the throat.

He then hit a northern lights suplex and won.

Main Event. Table - Kevin Nash vs. Brock Lesnar  #1 Contender's Match
The winner will face Big Show for the WCW Title. Austin came out and sat at ringside with the announcers. I changed the settings of my tables matches. The table must be on fire before putting your opponent through it. Lesnar brought in a table early. He hit Nash a couple of times with it. He then hit the F5. Lesnar went to bring Nash to the table but he reversed it. Big Kev was now in control. He hit a big boot and then the Jackknife. Nash lit the table on fire but Lesnar was able to break away.

Recap: The WCW title chamber match wasn't that bad. I was afraid that Bubba was going to win, though. The WWF Chamber match was much better. I was happy with any superstar winning.

After an inverted DDT, Christian pinned JBL to score the win.

Main Event. Triple H vs. Scott Steiner  #1 Contender's Match
If Steiner wins, can he become the first man in my Universe to hold the WCW and WWF titles? We will have to wait for that as Triple H dominated Steiner. He hit a side slam then a spine buster. He then taunted Steiner and hit the Pedigree to win.

After the match, an announcement was made that the match would be restarted as a submission match.

I feel that the restart favors Steiner more than The Game. Triple H must feel like he was robbed of a title shot. Steiner had Triple H in a single-leg Boston crab, but Triple H was able to reach the ropes. Triple H locked in a full Nelson, but Steiner broke out of it. Both men are hurting really bad. They spent most of the restart fighting outside of the ring. Steiner began bleeding and received hit 4th, or even 5th, Pedigree.

He almost won, but Goldberg was able to kick out. Goldberg was able to hit some moved but Hall hit another finisher and got the victory.

After the match, Hall continued the beatdown on Goldberg.

This is the final week before the Rumble. Like previous years, I have some surprises up my sleeve for the Rumble match.

Raw
Match 1. Four-Way - Lesnar vs. Christian vs. Shelton vs. Benoit  Intercontinental Championship
I'm doing everything I can do get the belt off Lesnar. Christian and Shelton were going at it when Lesnar suplexed Benoit from the apron back into the ring. Shelton hit Lesnar with Paydirt and almost won. About a minute later, he hit the Paydirt on Benoit. Christian caught Benoit in a schoolboy but Shelton broke it up. Shelton hit Christian with a pinning German suplex and won the title.

Match 2. RVD and The Hardys vs. New Age Outlaws and Rock
I say it every time, "I hate 6 man tag matches." Yet, I still do them. Oh well. This was a 17-minute match, so I'll cover the last few minutes. RVD tagged in Matt and held Road Dogg in the corner as Matt hit the Coast to Coast. Jeff hit Dogg with the Twist of Fate. Dogg recovered and hit Jeff with the pump handle slam. About 15 minutes into the match, The Rock just walked away. RVD hit Dogg with a pinning northern lights suplex and won.

Match 3. Kane vs. JBL
JBL took it to the WWF Champ early. He hit Kane with a side slam. Kane then hit one of his own. Kane picked JBL up and hit a Tombstone. Kane hit a leg drop and got a close 3 count. He picked JBL back up and hit a back suplex. He hit JBL with a chokeslam and won.

After the match, JBL threw a fit and took apart the announcer's table. He then punched out Michael Cole.

Main Event. Triple H and Flair vs. HBK
The Game and Flair kept Michaels in their corner for most of the match. Triple H hit his signature spine buster on Michaels. Flair hit HBK with a snap suplex. After a hip toss, Flair held HBK in a rear naked choke. HBK had no choice but to tap.

After the match, Flair grabbed a chair and went to hit HBK when all of a sudden Taker appeared. He took the chair from Flair but hit HBK himself!

Nitro
Match 1. Booker vs. Jericho
Jericho reversed Booker's kick into a single-leg Boston crab. Booker recovered and hit a super kick. Test interfered in the match and hit Booker with his modified F5 finisher. Test left and Booker got up and hit two side slams on Jericho. Booker went to the top and his the Houston Hangover. Jericho put Booker in the Walls of Jericho and made him tap.

Match 2. Lesnar vs. DDP
Just four days after losing his IC Title, Lesnar is on WCW taking on DDP. This was a really good match. DDP hit Lesnar with a sit-out powerbomb. Lesnar tried to mount some offense, but DDP came out of nowhere with the Diamond Cutter. After a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, DDP hit another Diamon Cutter. DDP hit an atomic drop and pinned Lesnar while his feet were on the ropes to win.

Match 3. Goldberg vs. nWo
Goldberg hit a running DDT on Nash. He went to splash Nash in the corner but he moved and hit a side slam. Nash hit Goldberg with a chokeslam. This match was mostly Nash vs. Goldberg. After a reversal of an armbar, Nash hit Goldberg with the Jackknife to win.

After the match, Hall grabbed a chair and handed it to Nash. He went to hit Hogan (what?) but Goldberg ran down and chased the nWo away. 

Main Event. Angle vs. Bubba Ray
Angle ran towards Bubba but he flipped him over his head. After some right hands, Bubba hit a Death Valley Driver. A few moves later, Bubba hit Angle with a flipping pump handle slam. Angle fought back and hit an Angle Slam. About a minute later, Angle hit a delayed spine buster and won.

After the match, Angle checked on Bubba but he low blowed him.

Recap: Taker is back, but he is now a heel. Lesnar has lost 2 matches in one week. This isn't looking good for him right now. I am seriously confused by the nWo cutscene. 

January Week 3, Year 3

Wow, Raw's card was horrible.

Raw
Match 1. Hardcore Title - Rhino vs. RVD vs. Holly
Rhino and RVD made this immediately exciting by bringing in some chairs. RVD and Holly were going at when Rhino brought in a kendo stick. A few minutes later, Holly hit RVD with the Falcon Arrow. All three men attacked each other with weapons. RVD hit Rhino with the 5-star Frog Splash. Holly hit Rhino with a double underhook back breaker. RVD caught Holly with a pinning suplex and won the title.

Match 2. Christian vs. Henry
It seems like Christian took advantage of his time on TV this week. He choked Henry in the corner then hit the Killswitch. Henry came back with a two-handed chokeslam and a military press. Out of nowhere, Christian hit another Killswitch. Christian reversed Henry's powerbomb into a face buster and got a long 2. Henry got up and was caught in a schoolboy. Christian wins.

After the match, Henry was taken out of the arena on a stretcher.

Match 3. Edge vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar's IC Title is not on the line tonight. However, if Edge wins here, he could get a title shot next week. Lesnar mounted Edge and hit him with multiple right hands. He picked Edge back up and hit a fisherman's suplex. He then hit the F5. After a military press, Lesnar pinned Edge to win.

After the match, Lesnar grabbed a chair and put Edge's ankle in it. Eddie's music hit and he tossed Lesnar out of the ring.

Steiner hit Hall with an overhead belly-to-belly. After a side belly-to-belly, Steiner got a long 2 count. About 2 minutes later, Steiner hit another overhead belly-to-belly. He then put Hall over his head for a military press. He then did some push-ups and hit a pinning back suplex to win.

December Week 4, Year 2

There are 5 weeks until the Royal Rumble. It's going to be a long road to the Rumble. There may be some surprises heading into the PPV.

Sting went for a right hand but DDP caught in him a roll-up and won.

TRIBUTE TO THE TROOPS, Year 2

The default card wasn't that bad, but I do have to edit a couple of matches.

Match 1. Lesnar vs. Edge vs. Christian  Intercontinental Championship
The champ is taking on both members of the famous tag team. It just doesn't seem fair. This match went over 13 minutes! I'll cover the last 3 just to save time/space. Christian hit Edge with a heel kick in the corner then Lesnar hit a huge German suplex. Lesnar went for an F5 on Christian but Edge broke it up. Christian took Edge down and Lesnar was able to hit him with the F5. Edge got up and hit Christian with a DDT. Lesnar took advantage and pinned Christian to retain his title.

Match 2. Ladder - Ultimo Dragon vs. DDP vs. Jericho vs. Chavo  United States Championship
I may regret this match because 4-way matches take forever and ladder matches take even longer. I'm surprised that this match only went 8:47. DDP set up a ladder about 2 minutes into the match. Chavo made the first climb a minute later, but Ultimo pushed the ladder. Chavo and Ultimo went up later but DDP pushed the ladder and both men fell. The final climb was made by Jericho and DDP. Ultimo punched DDP off and Jericho pulled down the belt to win.

Match 3. 6-man Battle Royal - Angle vs. Flair vs. Foley vs. Rock vs. Triple H vs. Michaels
HBK and Triple H made a beeline for each other. Foley made a couple of attempts to eliminate Angle, but he stayed in. Rock made the first elimination by throwing Flair over the top. DX teamed up and tossed Angle out. Rock made his second elimination by taking out Foley. HBK hit Rock with the Sweet Chin Music. Triple H tossed out Rock, leaving him and HBK as the last two. Triple H whipped HBK over the rope, but he skinned the cat and got back in the ring. HBK returned the favor and kicked HHH off the apron to win.

Match 4. Table - nWo vs. Hardys  Tag Team Championship
Matt and Nash both brought in a table. Nash hit Jeff with a vicious body slam. Nash then hit Jeff with a knockout punch. He picked him back up and hit the Jackknife. This was a short tables match. Hall hit Matt with the Outsider's Edge and put him through the table to retain the belts.

Match 5. Hell in a Cell - Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg
Warrior could not compete tonight. He will get a title shot sometime in January. These two men went back and forth in the early going. Steiner had Goldberg in a sleeper hold but it was reversed into a jaw breaker. They ended up on top of the cell! Steiner hit a suplex then a t-bone suplex on the top. He then picked him up and hit his belly-to-belly suplex. He hit another belly-to-belly and Goldberg dropped down to the ring! Steiner continued with his suplexes. Goldberg reversed Steiner and  hit the Jackhammer and won. There is a new WCW Champion!

After the match, Steiner raised Goldberg's hand in victory.

Main Event. Hell in a Cell - Stone Cold vs. Kane  WWF Championship
I wonder if these two can top the WCW hell in a cell match. Kane planted Austin on his head with a DDT. Kane whipped Austin into the ropes and hit a big boot. Austin got back up and hit the Stunner, but Kane kicked out at 2. Austin went for another Stunner but Kane reversed it and hit the chokeslam. Kane hit a pump handle drop, a leg drop then a running powerslam. He pinned Austin to win the title.

Recap: Steiner turned face. The ladder match was really good. The WCW HiaC was awesome! We had 3 title changes tonight. I hope the troops enjoyed it.

December Week 3, Year 2

Test betrayed WWF and joined WCW. This is the last week before the Tribute show. I have no idea who the contenders are.

Raw
Match 1. Rock vs. Austin vs. Lesnar vs. HBK
Raw kicks off with a 4-way match featuring 3 Hall of Famers. This match may determine who faces Taker when he returns. These guys were separated for most of the match. Rock and Brock were on one side while Austin and HBK were on the other. Austin left to grab a chair and Rock hit Brock with the Rock Bottom. Lesnar got up and hit Austin with an F5. HBK got up and hit Rock with the Sweet Chin Music and knocked him out.

Match 2. Kane vs. Scotty 2 Hotty
Scotty was sitting in the corner. Kane drove his boot into Scotty's face. He picked him up and hit him with the pump handle slam. Scotty somehow got up and hit Kane with a spinning DDT. Kane got pissed and began punching Scotty across the skull. He flipped him over and got the 3 count.

Match 3. Road Dogg vs. Jeff Hardy
Jeff hit a springboard off the middle rope. Dogg hit a simple body slam and a reverse atomic drop. He then hit his finishing pump handle slam and got a close 3 count. Couple of minutes later, Jeff hit the Whisper in the Wind. Road Dogg was coming back but Jeff hit the Twist of Fate. Jeff caught Dogg in a school boy and won.

Main Event. X-Pac vs. Triple H
Triple H was walking down the ramp when HBK attacked him from behind. After some battling in the ring, Pac left to grab a chair. He hit HHH a couple of times with the chair then hit a reverse DDT. The match came back into the ring when Triple H hit his spine buster. He then hit the Pedigree and almost won, but Pac kicked out at 2.9. Pac got up and hit the X-Factor for the win.

Nitro
Match 1. Booker vs. Nash
Booker was on offense first. He hit Nash with a back drop and his signature spine buster. Nash fought back and hit a Jackknife powerbomb early and got a long 2 count. Nash was pissed as he hit Booker with another Jackknife and won.

Match 2. Test vs. Big Show
Both men were all over the place. Test rolled Show back into the ring where he hit his modified F5 finisher. Show had Test up for a fall away slam but Test reversed it. Show moved away from Test's running big boot. Show hit the WMD and pinned Test for the win.

Match 3. Goldberg vs. Hogan
Flair took a seat with the announcers. Goldberg ran towards Hogan, but he reversed it into a powerslam. Goldberg hit a couple of short-armed clotheslines. Hogan fought back and hit a running powerslam. Hogan was going for a right hand but Goldberg blocked it and hit the spear. Goldberg hit the Jackhammer and won.

After the match, Flair came in and attacked Hogan. Goldberg turned around and made the save.

Main Event. Warrior vs. Scott Hall
I wonder if Steiner sent Hall to be a henchmen to take out his biggest challenger. Hall hit Warrior with a front slam then the fall away slam. Warrior got up, hit the military press and got a long 2 count. He picked up Hall and hit him with another military press and again got a 2 count. A minute later, he hit a third military press. Hall was picking up Warrior but he was caught in a roll-up and Warrior won. 

Recap: DX is completely imploding. Pac and Dogg are in a rivalry. We haven't seen Mr. Ass in weeks. The original founders, HHH and HBK, want to destroy each other. In the new year, there will be some rule changes so the matches don't take as long. Was Warrior sending a message to Steiner?

December Week 2, Year 2

2 more weeks until the Tribute to the Troops show.

Raw
Match 1. Jericho vs. RVD
WCW is invading Raw as Jericho takes on RVD. This could be a big match. Jericho was running towards Van Dam but he reversed it into a snap body slam. RVD then hit the Rolling Thunder. Jericho got up and kicked RVD in the back. He went for a pin and got a long 2 count. RVD reversed Y2J and hit a heel kick off the top rope. He then hit the 5-Star Frog Splash and won.

This is the second WCW invasion match. The Dudleyz were on the offensive early. D-Von tossed Eddie over his head after he stomped on Rey. D-Von hit an RKO-type move on Eddie.

After the match, the ref checked on Eddie who was laying face down in the ring.

Match 3. X-Pac vs. Triple H
Former partners facing each other tonight. Triple H wanted revenge on his former partner. He hit a back breaker then a spine buster. He then hit the Pedigree very early in the match. He didn't want to end the match that early as he hit a vicious DDT. It looks like he wanted to teach Pac a lesson. Triple H hit another Pedigree and got the win.

After the match, Steiner attacked Triple H from behind with the WCW Title.

Main Event. Steel Cage - Austin vs. Test
This was a very quick cage match. Austin dominated Test for most of the match. Austin gave Test snake eyes and almost won. Test whipped Austin into the corner and tried to escape. Stone Cold pulled him down and hit the Stone Cold Stunner. He then climbed the cage and got the victory.

Nitro

Goldberg recovers and hit Hogan with the Jackhammer and got the 3 count.

After the match, Flair ran into the ring and attacked both Hogan and Goldberg. 

Main Event. Steel Cage - Steiner vs. Scott Hall
The champ was not ready for this match. Maybe he had Triple H on his mind. Hall hit a back suplex and then mounted Steiner against the ropes and hit multiple right hands. He picked Steiner back up and hit his fall away slam. Hall threw Steiner into the corner. He walked out and received a belly-to-back suplex. Hall flipped him over and pinned him to win.

Recap: Eddie has been injured, so it looks like Rey is alone for now.

December Week 1, Year 2

Raw
