Opening montage…WWF/WCW-ECW footage paired up with World War II footage…

The show opened with Lance Storm and Mike Awesome in the ring. Storm said tonight would be a defining moment in the history of the business, all of which… Out came Edge and Christian.

Edge & Christian d. Mike Awesome & Lance Storm
Awesome and Christian started off. Awesome slammed Christian into the buckles and hit shoulder thrusts. Edge quickly tagged in, only to be double-teamed by Storm and Awesome. Edge took over on Storm after a boot to the face and followed with a missile dropkick. Edge catapulted Storm over the top rope and to the floor, on top of Awesome. Christian blew a spot going over the top rope, getting caught in the ropes. He fell on Awesome and Storm anyway. Storm battled back by catching Christian on the top rope, but Christian had an answer for it. He threw Storm off the top. Awesome became involved and crotched Christian while he was still up top. With the referee not looking, Awesome worked over Christian outside the ring.

Storm threw Christian from the middle of the ring into the ringpost. Hard shot. Awesome tagged and hit a splash. The WCWECW team used quick tags and isolated Christian in their corner. Christian looked as if he was going to get a tag, but Awesome cut the opportunity by taking out Edge. Awesome hit the big splash off the top. Christian kicked out after Edge broke the count. Up top, Awesome went for a powerbomb but ended up getting back body dropped. Hot tags were given to Storm and Edge. Edge unleashed, beating Storm from pillar to post. Storm rolled up Edge and got the pin, but the referee wasn't in position to count. Jawbreaker by Storm, and a tag to Awesome. Edge rolled out of a suplex attempt. Edge speared Awesome but Storm broke the count. Storm superkicked Edge. Christian took care of Storm. Awesome covered Edge and he kicked out.

Awesome went for his running powerbomb on Edge, but Christian caught him with a spear to win.

Backstage, Vince McMahon celebrated the win. William Regal entered the room and told Vince that Stone Cold and Debra had arrived. Vince told Regal to give Austin some space. Regal called Raven a toerag for challenging him. Vince encouraged Regal to act like George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

Special Guest Referee: Mick Foley
Earl Hebner d. Nick Patrick
Each referee had their peanut gallery of other referees at ringside. Earl jumped in the ring upon arriving and Foley had to keep both men apart. Patrick slapped Hebner. Hebner went nuts and pushed Patrick into the corner for a two count. Patrick hit a series of punches. Outside, Foley had to separate the other referees. Hebner pumped in more punches until Patrick hit a low blow. All the WCW referees attacked Earl, leading to the big brawl you expected… Foley ordered the WCW refs backstage. Patrick got pissed that all the WCW guys were sent back and not the WWF refs. Meanwhile, Earl hit a spear and won!

After the match, Patrick argued with Foley. Foley punched Nick and gave him the mandible claw with Mr. Socko…

Backstage, Debra poured coffee everywhere. Sara Undertaker asked her if she was okay, and Debra said she was. Sara said DDP was a psycho pervert. Debra and Sara concurred that nothing would be left of Page after tonight.

Non-WWF or WCW Tag Team Championship match
Acolytes d. Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire
Palumbo and O'Haire sprinted to the ring, wasting no time in starting the brawl. O'Haire went after Faarooq on the outside while Bradshaw handled Palumbo inside. The Acolytes took an early lead by beating the hell out of the WCWers. Soon, the match settled down with Bradshaw suplexing Palumbo. O'Haire jumped in to even things up, and he took the edge. Faarooq tagged in and hit an elbow smash for a two count. O'Haire flipped out of a Faarooq powerbomb attempt and isolated the Acolyte in his corner. Palumbo orchestrated a double-team.

Later in the match, Bradshaw caught a nice fall-away slam on Palumbo. O'Haire jumped in with a heel kick in what was a generally disorganized brawl. O'Haire threw Faarooq into the steps while Palumbo distracted the ref. Hot tags were given to Bradshaw and Palumbo. Bradshaw gave Palumbo a powerslam but missed the clothesline from hell. O'Haire ran in and hit a superkick. Superkick on Faarooq by Palumbo, but out of nowhere, Bradshaw spiked Palumbo with the clothesline from hell to win.

Backstage, Vince told Chris Jericho that WCWECW was getting annihilated. Jericho said he had been in all three companies, and determined that Paul E. Heyman was psycho. He said the "E" in his name stood for "ewwwww." Vince said after tonight, team WCWECW would never be the same a-g-ain.

Backstage, Stephanie pissed about how she hated Jericho. Shane told Kidman to take X-Pac out. Paul Heyman entered and said they were losing, and it was up to Kidman to regain the momentum.

Non-WWF Lightweight or WCW Cruiserweight Championship match
Kidman d. X-Pac
X-Pac with some new ring attire… Both men locked up and X-Pac out-wrestled Kidman to the mat. A cocky X-Pac locked on a headlock. Kidman got out and did the same actions X-Pac had done moments earlier, out-wrestling him to the mat. Kidman hit a hurricanrana followed by an enziguri kick, knocking X-Pac to the floor. The match was all Kidman until X-Pac lowered the top rope, causing Kidman to fall outside.

X-Pac went up top and hit a dropkick from inside the ring out. With Kidman back inside, the X-Pac-kick-o-rama began with the spinning heel version. Pac put on a sleeper. Kidman fought out with elbows and locked on a sleeper of his own. X-Pac suplexed his way out and went to the top rope. Pac missed a flip-splash type thing. Momentum began building Kidman's way as he hit a modified powerbomb to get a nearfall. X-Pac called for the X-Factor, but Kidman countered into a face slam. Kidman went up top himself but fell into the X-Factor! Great move! Kidman kicked out.

X-Pac hit Kidman's foot while attempting a bronco buster. Kidman went third rope again and hit the shooting star press to win.

Heyman, Stephanie and Shane celebrated finally posting a win on the board. DDP came in the room and got a pep talk. Page revealed he couldn't say "inaugural."

Raven d. William Regal
Regal hammered away at Raven with closed fists. He hit Raven with a double arm suplex, causing Raven to fall to the floor. Regal followed and remained on top of Raven. Raven took a catapult into the top rope and to the floor. Regal hit several throat thrusts as the crowd fell dead…

Raven got in the match, finally, after hitting a baseball slide dropkick. Raven placed Regal in a chinlock. Textbook suplex by Regal, but Raven hit a shoulder block and flew off the top with a forearm shot. He followed with a running bulldog. Tazz ran down while the referee attended to Raven on the floor and gave Regal a suplex. Raven hit the Raven Effect to win.

Backstage, Vince told Undertaker and Kane not to hold back during the main event… Vince went over the line by mentioning Sara, prompting 'Taker to slam Vince against a wall.

Shawn Stasiak, Hugh Morrus & Chris Kanyon d. Big Show, Billy Gunn & Albert
Team WCW attacked the WWF from behind, but the WWF slammed each man to the mat. Kanyon worked over Gunn with punches and a sunset flip. Gunn bridged the sunset flip into a cover of his own. Stasiak entered and caught a neckbreaker from Gunn. Albert tagged and everyone ran in the ring, causing chaos. Albert hit Stasiak with a Baldo Bomb but didn't get the win.

Gunn re-entered and hit the Fameasser on Morrus. More chaos. Anyway, Morrus got the win after pinning Gunn. Post-match, Show chokeslammed Morrus, Stasiak, and Kanyon…

Backstage, Shane told Booker T that WCWECW was up 4-3 counting Chavo Guerrero's win on Heat. Booker said he would take down team WWF tonight in the main…

In Commissioner Regal's office, Tajiri poured him some tea. Regal entered and told Tajiri to pull apart that toerag Tazz…

Tajiri d. Tazz
Tajiri stormed the ring, only to be ripped apart by Tazz early. Tajiri found his chance to attack and hit several knife-edge chops, followed by a kick to the face. Tazz hit an underhook suplex. Tajiri hit an onslaught of about ten thousand kicks, to which Tazz stood up and knocked Tajiri on his ass.

Tajiri continued with the kicks but they had minimal affect on Tazz. Tazz locked on an armbreaker, and Tajiri made it to the ropes. Tazz hit one hell of a powerbomb but stalled in going for the cover. Tajiri flew off the ropes with a springboard elbow. Outside, Tazz ran Tajiri into the steps. Back inside, Tajiri hit the tarantula. Two stiff kicks were delivered by Tajiri, but Tazz absorbed them again and countered with an overhead suplex. Tajiri sprayed the green mist in Tazz's face and won!

Backstage, Matt Hardy expressed concern to Jeff over his match with Rob Van Dam. Suddenly, Van Dam blasted Matt with a chair and told Jeff he was next…

At WWF New York, Hardcore Holly ripped a WCW shirt off some kid.

WWF Hardcore Championship
Rob Van Dam d. Jeff Hardy to become the new champion
Jeff ran under Van Dam's legs to enter the ring, but RVD quickly took over. The two mat wrestled to their feet when Jeff dropkicked Van Dam from behind. Jeff hit a move called the "compacter" on RVD for a two count. RVD came back with a back flip for a two count.

Off the ropes, Van Dam hit another flipping splash move. The announcers pointed out this was the purest hardcore match ever. RVD jumped to the top rope and Jeff pushed him off into the safety barrier. Jeff went for the running security wall move but got caught and was thrown to the floor. In the crowd, RVD hit a back flip off a barrier. Off the apron, RVD jumped off and hit a spinning heel kick on Hardy, who was draped over the barrier. As Van Dam played to the crowd, Jeff hit a sunset flip from inside the ring out, in turn blasting RVD with a powerbomb. Jeff got a ladder from underneath the ring and climbed up to the very top. Van Dam ran into the ring and tipped the ladder over, sending Jeff to the floor. RVD got a chair and carried it over to Hardy, who used the ladder to pop Van Dam in the face with the chair. Jeff got the chair and hit RVD. The two battled up the entrance way when Van Dam hit the Van Damminator on Hardy, sending Jeff off the stage!

Jeff made it back to the ring and took more RVD punches. Van Dam dropkicked a chair into Jeff's face, causing him to bleed. Off the top, RVD missed about the hundredth flipping-type move of the match. Jeff hit a jawbreaker and missed a Swanton bomb. RVD placed the Hardcore title on Jeff's chest and launched off with a five star frogsplash. RVD wins.

Backstage, Vince told Kurt Angle to get in the right frame of mind for the main event. Vince told him to think about the red, white, and blue. Angle said "Enough of this Americana bullshit!" Angle said he was going to do this for him tonight.

Bra & Panties Match with Mick Foley as the special referee
Trish Stratus & Lita d. Stacy Keibler & Torrie Wilson
Foley stood in the ring awestruck as the ladies came to the ring. Torrie and Stacy used Foley as a shield to start off the match. Pretty much what you would expect to start; a bunch of wallowing around in the ring and slaps. Trish hit a double clothesline on the WCW girls and tagged in Lita. Torrie and Stacy argued over who should enter the ring. Lita tore Stacy's shirt off. Stacy tore Lita's shirt off. Torrie ripped of Trish's shirt. Trish ripped off Torrie's pants. Off went Torrie's shirt. Off went Stacy's pants. Lame.

Final pep talk for the WCWECW team…

Vince tried to motivate Steve Austin, but Austin would have none of it. He said he was here to whip ass, and that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so.

Inaugural Brawl
Team WCWECW (Booker T, Dallas Page, Dudley Boys & Rhyno) d. Team WWF (Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, Kane & Chris Jericho)
Before the introductions of the competitors, Paul Heyman, Shane, Stephanie, and Vince McMahon came to the ring. After DDP was introduced, Undertaker went right after him. The brawl began, with everyone into it on the outside. Steve Austin's music hit and he ran out, taking out everyone in his path. Team WWF held the firm advantage on the floor as both referees (a WWF and WCW ref) tried to gain control.

Austin and Rhyno went toe-to-toe. Austin hit a knee to Rhyno's midsection followed by a Thez press. Austin pounded the absolute hell out of Rhyno on the top rope with a superplex. Jericho tagged and hit knife-edge chops. Rhyno finally countered with a clothesline and tagged out to Booker T. Team WCWECW held Jericho in their corner for Booker to kick away at. Booker missed a side kick, allowing Jericho to bounce off the ropes with a bulldog. Rhyno ran in and caught a springboard dropkick. Jericho propelled off the middle rope with a missile dropkick. Angle tagged in and punched out Booker. The fan reaction for Angle was incredible. Booker sent Angle into the ropes and hit a spin kick.

D-Von entered and caught Angle with a flying shoulder tackle. Angle tagged to Kane, who sidewalk slammed D-Von. Page broke up a pinfall attempt. Kane went for a chokeslam but Buh Buh Ray broke it up. The Dudleys hit a modified version of the 3D on Kane, but couldn't capitalize. Up top, Kane knocked Buh Buh Ray to the mat with a clothesline. Undertaker became legal and went after Page. He legdropped Buh Buh and got a two count. 'Taker went old school on Buh Buh. UT cleaned Team WCWECW off the apron except for Page, who clobbered 'Taker, allowing Buh Buh to attack. Rhyno ran in and stomped at UT's midsection. Page tagged and laid in his beating.

Booker T went for a pin on a beaten 'Taker but couldn't get it. JR made fun of Booker's "spinaroonie." Austin tagged and poked Booker in the eye. Austin went for a stunner but Booker fell to the floor. Austin threw Booker into the crowd and suplexed him over the safety barrier. Jericho tagged and went for the Walls of Jericho. Page ran in and the move was broken. Jericho missed a lionsault and was hung out to dry over the top rope by Booker. Finally, Booker tagged out to D-Von, who laid in punches on Jericho's head. Team WCWECW took firm control until Jericho worked out of a Dudley double-team.

Angle tagged in and beat the Dudleys into each other. Buh Buh hit a sit down powerbomb on Angle, and D-Von followed with a leg drop. Undertaker saved his team from a loss. Team WCWECW took over for a long run, using quick tags and isolating Angle in their corner. Booker hit an axe kick and followed it with the spinaroonie. Page powerbombed Angle and Austin saved the match. Dudleys hit the low blow headbutt on Angle. Finally, Angle tagged Austin, but the referee didn't see it. While the ref argued with Austin and Team WWF, the WCW/ECW guys beat on Angle even more.

Finally, Undertaker had enough. He went after Page. Eventually, everyone jumped in and all hell broke loose. Rhyno gored Booker T by mistake. Undertaker chokeslammed Page. The WCW referee got in Undertaker's face, so 'Taker gave him the Last Ride! Poor Charles Robinson! The WWF referee rolled Robinson out of the ring.

'Taker and Page went into the crowd and continued their brawl. Kane ripped apart an announce table while a medic looked at Austin's knee. The Dudleys double-teamed Kane. Austin looked hurt. Dudleys sent Kane into the ringsteps and got a table. Austin was still down, this time with his knee brace loosened while a medic felt of his knee. Kane chokslammed D-Von through an announce table. Rhyno took Kane down. Buh Buh Ray and Rhyno double suplexed Kane through the other announce table.

Jericho launched off the ring apron and put Rhyno through a table! Now, everyone was down and out. The legal men still were Kurt Angle and Dallas Page. Angle was down outside the ring, but Page was nowhere to be found.

Booker T and Buh Buh showed signs of life and attacked Angle. Angle battled back with vengeance, hitting Olympic Slams on everyone. He put Booker in the ankle lock, and the referee took a bump. Everyone down again.

Vince got the WWF title belt from the timekeeper and slipped it to Angle! Shane got it before Angle could get to it and hammered Vince. Angle got up and busted Shane over the top rope. Angle slam on Booker! Angle lock on Booker, and he tapped out. Austin threw the referee into the ring. Austin attacked Angle and gave him the stunner. Austin put Booker T on top of Angle. 1-2-3. Austin turns WCW.

After the match, Austin celebrated with Paul Heyman, Stephanie and Shane McMahon. Everyone had beers.

I left feeling as though I'd got my $10 worth.

The RVD/Hardy match rocked my world; way too many sick spots to mention.

I like heel Austin, so...

austin SO has massive justification to totally reap on the fans tonight.

i mean, fuck. he turns, and then he reminds everyone that he always said "dta- don't trust anyone!", and then he turns face for less than a week, and the crowd is behind him?

MORONS.

it's true- stone cold didn't change, everyone else did.
