RAW is LIVE from the Ice Palace in Tampa, Fla. Why is the Ice Palace in Florida? Somebody help me out here.
1) a) SPIKE DUDLEY and MOLLY HOLLY hit the ring. By the way, JIM ROSS has told us that Spike will team with CHRIS JERICHO and CHRIS BENOIT against STONE COLD and THE DUDLEY BOYS. Spike says he was proud of himself last week against Stone Cold, even though he got pounded. Still, he wasn't proud of Stone Cold's attempted attack on Molly. So Spike's doing "something I never thought I'd do…. Stone Cold Steve Austin, I'm calling you out." Crowd is at least intrigued here. b) Oh yeah! Here comes THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAMPION, and he's not exactly buddy-buddy with Spike either. Huge heel heat for Austin, who calls Spike a "two dollar punk with a five cent haircut." Spike wants a title rematch, but Austin says "it ain't fair." Spike says "If you want to see Spike Dudley get a title shot, gimme a hell yeah!" Crowd gives him said hell yeah, but Austin says he won't get one anyway. "But I will say this, ya little rascal- I'll give it to you kid… you got guts. Ain't nobody back there willing to come out here and call out Stone Cold- but you did. And I got to give that to you. You showed me a lot, Spike. You showed me you got a lot of backbone, you got a lot of gumption, kid. You know what? As much guts as you got? Molly there? She's still a little bimbo." Spike: "You take that back!" Austin doesn't take it back, and Molly slaps him. Austin smiles and considers retribution as PAUL HEYMAN says "For God's sake, Spike, run for your life!" Austin laughs it off and says "you earned my respect" and offers a handshake. Spike thinks about it, takes it and- doesn't get beat down? No, Austin turns around, kick and Stunner for Molly! What a jerk! Crowd is NUTS. Austin is AWESOME. That's the most fun I've had watching RAW in, well, since last week's Benoit/Angle match. Doh. We cut to commercial. 2) Backstage we see that STONE COLD walked by THE DUDLEY BOYS and stared at them as they stared at him. 3) Backstage we see THE DUDLEYS meet up with SPIKE DUDLEY and MOLLY HOLLY. They note that Spike's had one title shot in three months, while neither of them have had one. BUH BUH RAY: "What's wrong with this picture?" Spike: "I'll tell you what's wrong with this picture… you two are full of crap!"
