THE RETURN:

Its RAW IS WAR a week after D-X descirated Bret Hart's last match with the midget Bret vs Shawn Michales. D-X is in the ring spewing off their usual monolouge when a familiar voice eminates from a mike in the crowd:

VOICE: Well, well well Boy Toy. (D-X is stunned and starts looking around the arena untill Bret Hart stands up and everyone sees its him) Thought you had seen the last of me huh? Well I was on my way down South when I saw that crap you and your Degeneriates pulled last week. And you know what Shawn Michaels? We do have unfinished buisness. And I am here to issue you that challenge right here. And if you have any guts left, you and I will get this settled ONE ON ONE.

SHAWN: BRET THE MARKED MAN HART! Are you sure you want your geriactic a** whupped by me again? I have beaten you for THIS(Holds up the heavyweight belt) twice, I just shoved you down South were you can play in that Jurrassic Park Federation. But if YOU WANT ONE MORE MATCH WITH THE HEARTBREAK KID? WELL. I'LL GIVE YOU ONE!

(At this point HHH gets pissed and starts to tell Shawn off but Shawn just pushes him aside)

BRET: Any time, any place.(throws mike down and heads out through the crowd.)

SHAWN: Of course Bret. Any where, any time is all I need to prove ONCE AGAIN that THE HEART BREAK KID IS THE ICON! THE SHOWSTOPPER! THE MAAIN EVENT! (Shawn throws mic down and leaves, totally ignoring a shocked and upset HHH)

JERRY LAWLER: WOW! I can't belive what just happened J R. But Bret Hart must be a real idiot if he thinks he can come back and challenge D-X like that! HA HA What an idiot!

JR: Well King. This certiantly is a surprising, shocking development. We never thought we'd see Bret Hart again. He was finished. He left. Now he returns to make one last challenge to the heveyweight champion Shawn Michaels.

(A week later on RAW Vince McMahon comes out to speak about the events the week before)

VINCE: Last week. Right here on RAW. Bret "The Hitman" Hart came out, and issued a challenge to WWF champion Shawn Michaels. The two men then came to me, seperatly and expressed intrest in getting one more, final match. While yes, Bret Hart is under contract with another company at this time, he has been cleared to fight in this last fight. (crowd cheers) However, after talking with one of the heads of the aforementioned company, I have decided to make this a non-title match(crowd boos) But. What this match will be is a no disqualification, no interference steel cell match. Both Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels have assured me that their respective entourages will be barred from the ring area at the time of the match to be held THIS SUNDAY NIGHT! At a special joint Pay Per View with that other company to be held at Madison Square Garden in New York(The crowd erupts as McMahon leaves the ring).

THE PPV:

Its a special WWF/WCW event live from MSG. With Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Tony Schivone and Larry Zybsko at the mikes. Besides the main event the card featured 10 other bouts featuring stars from WWF vs stars from WCW/NWO:

KEVIN NASH vs KANE:

Several of the wrestlers were asked who they would like to fight in this card. Nash had this to say: "I'd just love to get that Kane dude and teach him that there can be ONLY ONE. Yup. I want to show the world that I AM the true BIG DADDY COOL! So expect some VIP, very intense pain cause its Diesel time and I am JUST TOO SSSSSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, Vince, sorry for screwing up your story line HAHAHA!" In any event Nash acctually comes out to the match as Diesel(his old singlet) and starts right off the bat against Kane. The match is a complete squash as Nash puts Kane away with the Jacknife Powerbomb

GIANT vs. KURRAGAN:

Another squash as Giant proved he was much more versitale than the 7ft tree Kurragan. One chokeslam was all the big man needed.

MENG vs. MANKIND: (Special submisson match)

In a match that fitted the Tonga Death Grip vs Mandible Claw the loser had to submit to the winners finisher. After a good long 5 minutes of the two killing each other Mankind was the first to slip on his finsiher. It took a while but Meng's strong arms were able to pry Mankind's hand out of his mouth and then he slapped on the TDG to which Mankind had no answer to and submitted.

CURT HENNIG vs. HUNTER HURST HEMSLEY:

HHH gets his revenge on Mr. Perferct as the two slugged it out for a long time early in the match. HHH went to work on Hennig's knees and back, trying to injure the nWo star even more. Then Hennig quickly turned the tide but HHH reversed it and was about to apply the Pedigrie when Ric Flair came to ringside to shout something to HHH. Unfourtuanly HHH couldn't hear Flair and let Hennig go to get what Ric said. Hennig used it to his advantage by sneaking up and hitting HHH from the back and began to put on the Hennig-Plex. As he was hoisting it up though Chyna reached through the ropes for a low blow causing Henning to drop HHH right on top of him. The ref made the three count and HHH got the win. Then Hennig went out of the ring to attack Flair. When the two got at it HHH saw this and joined in, wheeling Flair around and cold cocking him, and did the same to Hennig and did crotch chops to the both of them as he and Chyna left.

TAKA MICHINISOU vs. REY MISTERIO JR:

A battle of cruserweight/liteweights. A match full of great high flying action and high risk manuevers with Rey getting the brunt of the hurting. Rey eventually came out victorious though and the two shook hands out of mutual respect afterwards.

LEX LUGER vs. THE UNDERTAKER:

A match of big men was pretty much dominated by UT early on but Luger made his usual comeback and won via the Torture Rack.

DEAN MALENKO vs. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN:

One of the most brutal match ups of all time as these two fierce and focused competitiors put on a clinc of how a wrestling match should be. Malenko tried for the Texas Cloverleaf but some how Austin grabed hold of Malenko's ankle and got Dean off balance. Austin then got up and gave the wobbling Iceman a Stone Cold Stunner and passed out on top of him for the win.

CHRIS BENOIT vs. CACTUS JACK:

Hardcore legend vs hardcore star. Another brutal matchup with no clear advantage as the two used everything against each other. Eventually Benoit had the Crossface on Jack but some how Cactus reversed it and turned it into a sleeper of his own and got the win.

SCOTT HALL vs. ROCKY MAIVIA:

HALL: Aye Yo! Well, lets see. The last time I was here. Was prior to the forming of the N W O. So, I guess all of ya in the Big Apple know about my little surrvey, cause I think TNT and TBS are availible up here as we don't come through here. Anyway, the deal is, either you are with US, or you are not. And so. Is every one here to see, WCW? (mixed reaction) Okay, okay. Now. Is everybody here to see the "Superstars of the World Wrestling Federation?" (lots of loud cheers) Well, I expected nothing less. OR. Or is everybody here. In New York City here to see the (crowd chants along) N...W...O Its close, but I'd have to say. New York is defininatly nWo country. Aye yo. (puts a mike in the Rock's face and Rock is not pleased) You are (mimicks Rocks voice) The ROCK? Right.

ROCK: Thats right and...

HALL: (interrupts) Okay, whatever. All I know is that you and some friends of yours created an nwo ripoff, am I right?

Its here that Rocky slaps Hall, knocking the mic out of his hands and starting the match. Hall gets most of the advantage as he is the crafty veteran in the matchup. The Rock regains the advantge for a short period but Hall is too experienced and eventually ends it with an Edge.

(Prior to the next match the cameras showed D-X's locker room with HHH and Shawn talking to each other about the match:)

HHH: Shawn. I can't...I just can't let you do this. Why?

SHAWN: Why not. I've beaten the bastard twice before. I can do it again.

HHH: We won't be there at ringside. Who knows what Hart has hiding under that ring.

SHAWN: Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. Stop worrying. I've beaten him all by myself twice before. I know I can beat him.

HHH: I know you can kick his a** but the fact is, he could kill you tonight.

SHAWN: Or I could kill him. What the-(notices the camera guy) What are you doing? Get outta here. (the camera turns off and we head back to the ring)

RIC FLAIR vs KEN SHAMMROCK:

The last match before the main event turns out to be a supurb one as Flair keeps Shammrock off balance all night. Sort of rope-a-dope, not letting Shammrock get an inch of him lest he snaps and kills the Nature Boy. Eventually Ric is able to get Shammrock down and puts on the figure four. As Shammrock taps out HHH comes running down and attacks Flair as he has Shammrock in the hold. Flair releases Shammrock and chases HHH back to the dressing room.

Its time for the Main Event of the evening

       The cell is being set and the crew run one last promo highliting the two
       stars.

       The electricity is in the air now as the ring annoncer starts the
       introductions

       First Shawn Michaels.  But instead of the D-X song blaring "Sexy Boy" is
       playing but for once Michaels comes down unadorned(just his wreslting
       pants and boots) and looking cocky and focused as he enters the cage.

       Then out comes Bret Hart.  Hart steps into the cage and right away Shawn
       attacks, even though Bret's shades and jacket are still on.

       Bret comes back by ramming Shawn's head into the steel cage.  Shawn then
       trips Bret and starts to put on a Sharpshooter but Hart slithers out of
       it, and gets enough time to remove his jacket and shades.

       The match is looking more like a brawl then a match as the two take turns
       slamming the other into the steel cage.  Bret then decides to slap on a
       sharpshooter but Shawn quickly reverses and gives Bret a superkick.
       Shawn then tries to go up on the ropes and excute a flying elbow but Bret
       moves out the way.

       The match see-sawed like this untill about 20 minutes when Shawn decided
       that he would just end it right there with some SCM.  Bret was getting up
       on the other side of the ring when he saw Shawn "strike up the band".
       Bret swerved away and Shawn ended up sending his foot through the cage.
       Seeing the oppertunity Bret went right away to attacking the leg caught
       in the cage.  As soon as Shawn finnaially got himself free after about
       five minutes Bret was right there to lock on the Sharpshooter.  Shaen
       couldn't counter but he wasn't submitting.  Hart applied more presure by
       moving pulling Shawn's legs more and more upwards but Shawn still
       wouldn't submit.  Bret then released the hold and tried to pummel Shawn
       to death.  Shawn somehow got out of Bret's clutches and knocked him down
       so he could apply the Sharpshooter on Bret.  Same results only Bret was
       in their for at least ten minutes and not submitting.  After Shawn broke
       the hold Bret rolled him into a smallpackage and tried a pin fall but was
       unsuccessfull.  So Bret then slapped the Sharpshooter back on Shawn for a
       good long 5-10 minutes untill Shawn just couldn't respond and passed out.

       Bret Hart was victourus.  As Shawn Michaels had to be strectured out
       Bret, very hurting and exaushted took a house mike and started talking:

       BRET:  Whew.  What a match.  I didn't think the Boy Toy had it in him.
       Anyway.  I'd just wanted to take this oppertunity to thank all the WWF
       fans for their support of me over the years.  Even you American hyenas.
       I'd just thought I owed you all one great match before I go down to WC...

       AUSTIN:  NOW HOLD ON ONE DAMN MINUTE SON!

       (Steve Austin has just appeared at the top of the enterance ramp and
       makes his way to the ring)

       YOU ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS YOUR LAST MATCH ASSOICIATED WITH THE WWF?

       HART:  Yeah.  Thats right.

       AUSTIN:  WELL IT FIGURES THAT A YELLOW, OR SHOULD I SAY PINK BASTARD LIKE
       YOU WOULD SKIP OUT OF TOWN WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A SECOND THOUGHT TO SOME
       UNSETTLED BUISNESS.

       HART:  I HAVE TO MOVE ON AUSTIN.  AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT KIND OF
       CHALLENGE YOU WANT.  MY CARREAR IN WWF IS OVER!  I'M OFFICIALLY WCW NOW

       AUSITN: (Austin is now in the ring)SO THATS YOUR WEAK A**ED BOTTOM LINE
       HUH?  YOU COME BACK AND
       CARRY SHAWN MICHAELS, SOMEONE I CAN LOAD A WHOLE 40 ONCE OF WHUPA** ON IN
       UNDER 15 MINUTES, FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.  AND NOW YOU THINK YOU CAN SLITTHER
       DOWN SOUTH WITH ALL THOSE GERRIACTIC DINOSAURS?  WELL THE BOTTOM LINE IS
       YOU STILL HAVE ONE MORE CHALLENGE AND THATS FROM ME.  AND THATS THE
       DAMNEST BOTTOM LINE I EVER BOTTOM LINED

       HART: (Shakes his head) AUSTIN, I'D LOVE TO FINISH THE SCORE BUT I HAVE
       TO MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS.

       AUSTIN:  OH, I GET IT KNOW BRET.  YOU MUST BE ALITTLE HARD OF HEARING,
       SO HEARS A LITTLE SIGN LANUGAUE FOR YA! (Holds up a double bird) AND IN
       CASE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT...(knee to Hart's gut and the Stone Cold
       Stunner) AUSTIN 3:16 BRET SAYS I WILL HAUNT AND STALK YOUR LITTLE PIECE
       OF TRASH UNTILL WE HAVE A FIGHT.  AND IF YOU THINK YOU OWE THESE FANS ONE
       MORE MATCH, WELL...(starts to talk to the fans) WHO HERE IN MSG WANTS ME
       TO WHUP BRET HARTS PINK AND BLACK A** JUST GIVE ME A...(holds mike up as
       the crowd goes: OH HELL YEAH)

       OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       Before leaving Austin gives another double bird to a still out cold Bret
       Hart as the PPV ends
