LIVE, one night removed from Backlash, which saw Hulk Hogan prove that Hulkamania Still Rules in winning the Undisputed Title, we're in St. Louis for RAW! We start with stills from last night's Main Event, including Jericho's interference, Triple H's Pedigree, Undertaker's interference, the Leg Drop, and the 1-2-3! The video plays and the pyro explodes, and we are set. But first...

Brock Lesnar vs. Matt Hardy
-Brock Lesnar comes out with his buddy Paul Heyman, ready to take on his original Backlash opponent: Matt Hardy. The Hardy music hits, but Matt comes from the crowd and attacks form behind. Boot by Matt, but Lesnar catches him and spinebusters him down. Knees by Lesnar, then two ribbreakers on Matt's injured bones. Bearhug by Lesnar. Lesnar runs to the corner, but Matt sidesteps and Lesnar rams into the ringpost. Punches by Matt, and a big boot. Neckbreaker by Matt, then the second rope leg drop. He goes up top and hits the same legdrop from one step higher. He goes for the Twist of Fate, but Lesnar slides out and hits his Spiral Bomb finisher. Instead of pinning, he gives Matt his now-famous powerbomb, causing Hebner to call for the bell, stopping the match.

In the back, Flair gets no love from the crew members. He says he really didn't see Austin's foot on the ropes. He bumps into the Undertaker, who thanks Flair for doing the right thing. Flair says he called what he saw, and that was not the right thing. Taker says he owes Flair, and will go thank him in front of the fans. Fade Out.

Undertaker Interview
-"Rollin" hits, and the Undertaker comes out for his first show as #1 Contender for Hulk Hogan's Title. As the #1 Contender, he would like to take this time to complement someone on a job well done: RIc Flair. When the time came, Flair counted the 1-2-3. No matter who the ref was, Taker was going to beat Austin's ass. It just so happens that Flair was the referee. As the #1 Contender, he gets to go to Judgement Day, to fight the Immortal Hulk Hogan. Taker says "you're welcome" to Hogan, because without Taker, Hogan never would have won. But at Judgement Day, Taker becomes Judge, Jury, and Executioner of Hulkamania. In the back, we see Triple H storming towards the ring. Taker screams that Triple H isn't on Raw anymore. The Game's music hits, and Triple H makes his way out. He takes off his jacket and makes a b-line to the ring, spearing Taker down! They roll around, throwing mounted punch after mounted punch. Trips knocks Taker from the ring, only for Taker to elbow him back. The Game leaps on Taker, and they struggle over the announce table. Trips nails Taker more than a few times with a monitor. Trips pounds on Taker, when the swarm of refs pull him off. Taker runs over and punches the held Game. Triple H shoves the referees down and attacks Taker again! They battle to the tech side, Triple H slamming Taker's head into the stage. Taker low blows Trips and tries to escape to the back, but the Game follows in hot persuit. In the back, Trips beats Taker from pillar to post. He rams Taker into one of the semis, then a car. The Game reaches in the car and grabs his trusty sledgehammer, ramming it into Taker's gut. He lifts the hammer, but a security guard rams him into the car. They struggle, when the police show up and arrest Triple H. The Game gets in one last kick before he is pulled away by the cops. Fade Out.

During the break, Triple H was driven away in a poilce car, apparently after having been arrested.

Welcome to the premiere edition of "Goldust and Booker T at the Movies" Goldust tells us to note the pathos we feel for the hero's quest, but Booker tells him to roll the footage. A clip is shown. Booker says he gives it two thumbs up, in spite of The Rock starring. He claims he should have starred, and plays his clip. It is the same scene, except with Booker standing in front of Rock's character, using all his catchphrases. Goldust says one thing would have made this film an Oscar contender...oooooh...Goldust. Again the clip is played, but this time with Goldust in front, simply saying "boo!" Booker says that if Goldust starred, it would be "The Scorpion Queen", to which Goldust asks if Booker just said that.

In the back, Ric Flair meets with Regal at the coffee table. Regal congratulates Flair's officiating, saying it was a novel way of keeping Austin from the #1 Contendership. Flair maintains it was an accident, so Regal congratulates him on his accident. Fade Out.

Mr. Perfect vs. Rob Van Dam
-Perfect and RVD start off outside, barely in front of Eddie Guerrero who has come down to commentate. Finally in the ring, RVD dropkicks Perfect back over the ropes, then moonsaults onto him. Back in the ring, RVD goes for the monkey toss, but Perfect sidesteps him and hits a back suplex. Chops by Perfect and a snapmare. RVD comes back with elbows, and a spinning heel kick 1-2-kickout. Scoop slam by RVD, then a legdrop and Rolling Thunder 1-2-Perfect gets his foot on the ropes. RVD with shoulder thrusts in the corner, but when he goes for the monkey toss, Perfect drops him and pins with the ropes 1-2-ref spots the ropes. Step-over heel kick by RVD, who goes up top for the Five Star 1-2-3! As he celebrates, Eddie comes in and attack from behind, beating him down and hitting a back suplex. Eddie goes up top and misses the Frog Splash. Spinning heel kick by RVD that sends Eddie out of the ring. Fade Out.

After the match, Molly and Jazz attack Trish, only for Trish to clothesline them both down. She forces both of them from the ring.

In the back, Flair tries to tell his buddy Arn about the lack of respect he gets. Arn says that there are crew and wrestlers that don't believe him, which means there's probably fans that don't either. Flairs ays he's going to go out and prove to the fans that he did not see Austin's leg. Fade Out.

Ric Flair Interview
-Ric Flair makes his way out, to attempt to prove to the fans that he did not see Austin's foot on the ropes last night at Backlash. Flair is not here to make excuses, but rather, to set the record straight. Last night, as the special guest referee, he did a lousy job. He made a mistake. Steve Austin's foot was clearly on the ropes, yet Flair blew the call. He wasn't qualified to be reffing the match to begin with, then with the nWo showing up, he can understand why Austin could be upset. But when Ric Flair says something, it's gospel. He would like the guys in the back to play the footage from last night. We see Taker boot the chair into Austin's face, and Taker pin, yet Austin's foot is clearly on the ropes the whole time. Flair says it looks like he saw Austin's foot and continued to count. Flair tells them to play it from another camera, which shows Taker's body obstructing Flair's view. Flair knows that Stone Cold is the man. He likes Stone Cold. He and Stone Cold are friends. But he needs to take this opportunity, because Stone Cold is here tonight, to say that, from the bottom of his heart, he appologizes. The glass breaks, and Stone Cold marches to the ring, but can't bring himself to get on the turnbuckles and pose. Austin asks if Flair is sorry, telling Stone Cold that he made a mistake. Well Austin thinks Flair's full of crap. Flair comes out and shows his footage, blabs his mouth, yet Stone Cold ain't the number one contender. The more Flair whines about it, the more it pisses Austin off. Austin demands that Flair look at him. Flair damn well made a mistake last night: when he screwed Stone Cold, he made the biggest mistake of his life. No matter what Flair has done in the past, nor what he will do in the future, nor how many TItles he's had. Flair jumps in and says he won sixteen championships. Flair says he did not bring the nWo down last night. He is not Stone Cold's enemy, and he sure as hell isn't Vince McMahon. Austin says Flair doesn't look, talk, or smell like Vince. But he's starting to wish that Vince was here, because Vince told him straight-up that he would screw him, while Flair comes out and shakes Austin's hand and talks about friendship and then screws him. But since this is Missouri, the Show-Me State, allow Stone Cold to show Flair something: the finger. Flair doesn't blame Austin for the way he feels. He screwed up, and appologized, but in one night, he can make it right again. Tonight, he can make sure that the nWo never screws with Stone Cold again. He's going to take Bradshaw, make him Austin's partner, and face them against the nWo. Fade Out

Spike & Bubba vs. Goldust & Booker T
-The D-Bombs drop, and the Golden Brothers of Spike and BuhBuh Ray Dudley make their way out. The Bizzare One and The Booker Man make their respective ways out seperately. As Booker and Goldust move towards the ring, BuhBuh picks up Spike and tosses him onto their opponents. In the ring, BuhBuh and Goldust start, with BuhBuh mocking the Bizarrie One, only to get a boot. Back suplex by BuhBuh, but he misses the splash. Punches by Goldust, then some by BuhBuh. Clothesline by BuhBuh, who tags in Spike, who leaps and stomps on Goldust. Running elbow by Spike 1-2-kickout. Spike rolls up Goldust for a two count.

Sleeper applied by Goldust, but Spike elbows out and slams Goldust face first. Low headbutt by Spike. Tag to BuhBuh and Booker. Flurry of punches by BuhBuh, then a sidewalk slam. More punches, then a clothesline in the corner. BuhBuh knocks Goldust off the apron and scoop slams Booker. Elbow drop after elbow drop on Booker. Dancing axhandle drop by BuhBuh. Tag to Spike.

After the match, Steven Richards runs in and hits BuhBuh with a trashcan lid, trying for the Hardcore Title 1-2-shoulder up. Spike tries to Acid Drop Stevie, but Richards tosses him over the top. Steven goes outside and sets up a table, only for BuhBuh to powerbomb him through it. Fade Out.

Earlier today, Tommy Dreamer asked Shawn Stasiak how it was going. He asks what's up with Planet Stasiak. Shawn says it's all about the voices that run through his head. It may be tacky, or it may be wacky, but it can not be ignored. Has he gone wack, are his mental faculties under attack? It's all about Planet Stasiak. William Regal comes up and tells him to start talking some sense, setting up their match tonight.

William Regal vs. Shawn Stasiak
-In the arena, Regal makes his way down, followed by Stasiak, who is announced as hailing from his own planet. He runs to the ring, ony for Regal to nail him with the brass knuckles with one punch 1-2-3! Well, that was fun.

In the back, Flair and Arn are led to an unconscious Bradshaw, who is being helped by the EMTs. Flair says he thinks he knows who did it, and runs off. Fade Out. Flair bursts into the nWo room and tells them about Bradshaw, with Hall and X-Pac saying they're totally surprised. Hall asks if that means he and X-Pac will take on Austin alone, but Flair says he'll find another partner. Flair walks out, and Kevin Nash sneaks out from the bathroom. Flair comes back in and tells Nash that he's not allowed in the building for the length of the suspension. Nash leaves, as Flair tells Hall and X-Pac that they'll be facing Austin and the Big Show. Fade Out.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan Interview
-The red and yellow flashes, the Hendrix wails, and out comes the new Undisputed WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan! It's still running wild. The first thing he must say, as far as he is concerned, Triple H deserves a rematch. If it weren't for the Undertaker, maybe he'd still be Champ, and maybe he wouldn't. But he does know that Hulkamania was reborn last night, when he became the Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion. But when he thinks back to last Thursday, when Vince asked Hogan what he would do when reality came crashing down on him. Well thanks to the Hulkamaniacs, his reality is the Title belt, and he is holding it in his hand. Whether his Title run ends this week, next week, or whenever, he'll leave a happy man, because Hulkamania is alive and well, and running as wild as it's ever been. But he didn't get here by himself. All the Hulkamaniacs helped him get there. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was destiny, but he believes in the power of the Hulkamaniacs. And Undertaker had better believe in the power of the Hulkamaniacs, because what is Undertaker going to do at Judgement Day when Hogan and all the Hulkamaniacs run wild on him?

Scott Hall & X-Pac vs. Steve Austin & Big Show
-Hall and X-Pac make their way out, with Pac still wearing Kane's mask. The Big Show's pyro explodes, and he comes out, not afraid to get in the ring with the two nWo members. The glass breaks, and Stone Cold makes his way into the ring. Show and X-Pac start off, with Show tossing Pac across the ring. Tag to Hall, who throws the toothpick at Show, only to be tossed around like Pac. Hall demands that Show tag in Austin, and he does. Austin pounds away on Hall, then knocks X-Pac form the apron. Hall knees Austin down and starts clubbing him. Tag to X-Pac, who runs intoa spinebuster. Spinebuster to Hall as well. Austin pounds X-Pac into the turnbuckle and then stomps Hall.
