WWE Championship Lumberjack Match: Randy Orton vs. The Undertaker vs. Forxx
Undertaker stares down Forxx and Orton as the bell sounds and this match is officially underway here on Raw. Orton and Forxx are immediately allied, striking the Deadman with furious rights, three each to send his staggering back into the ropes, they grab an arm each - Double Irish Whip sends him charging across the ring. Taker charges, runs and rebounds... ducks under the Double Clothesline, comes off the opposite side as Orton and Forxx spin to face him... the Deadman takes them both down with Clotheslines of his own. He tosses his hair back as Forxx scrambles to his feet, Taker grabs the arm - Forxx is whipped into the far corner just as the WWE Champion comes to his feet, Taker grabs his arm this time... and whips Orton into Forxx, stacking them up. Randy staggers a few paces forward from the impact, sent staggering into the arms of the Phenom, Taker scoops him up over his shoulder, looks to be about to go for the Tombstone.... the Legendkiller slides down the back - shoves Taker who goes staggering forward..... into a brutal Spinebuster from Forxx, Taker planted. The makes the cover, Vampiro running around toward the duo on the outside... but before anything can be done its broken up by Randy Orton, dropping an elbow to the back at the two count. Forxx gets to his feet, pissed off... and gets struck in the face with a right from Orton, a second... and the European Uppercut. Forxx is in the ropes and immediately Shawn Justice grabs his legs, stopping him from moving and allowing Orton to open up with a Knife Edge Chop, another and a right, JR observing that the Corporate Ministry seems to be unpicky about attacking anybody who isnt the Undertaker here. Justice eventually breaks as Johnny Nitro brings it to the Referees attention, Orton grabbing the arm and whipping him across the ring..... Forxx goes across the ring, rebounds... Back Body Drop by Randy but before he can capitalize he's almost immediately under assault by the recovered Deadman, right hand, right hand, grabs the arm.... Ortons into the corner again, this time hitting the pads with massive velocity. The Legendkiller staggers forward... Taker grabs the arm and pulls him into his shoulder, Randy going down to his knees and succeeding in only allowing the Phenom to twist his arm around over his head some more and do it a second time, the pattern repeated. Orton is yanked to his feet and with the arm still in his hand the Phenom backs up to the Turnbuckles, climbing and walking along the top rope, ever fan seemingly either on their feet or taking a picture, the Phenom leaping off in a mass of flashes and a roar from the crowd...... Taker scores with the Old School. Hes on his feet and spins, Orton rolling away as Forxx charges at the Deadman.... running right into the Big Boot, the Undertakers foot cracking of Forxxs skull. Taker is distracted for just a second by a taunting Triple H, The Game trying to sweep his legs. The Phenom simply snarls at him, looking completely demonic before going back to the rising Orton, helping him to his feet near the ropes and striking him with a right hand..... Taker Clotheslines Orton over the top rope onto the mats near the aisle, the Corporate Ministry waiting but backing off as they see they're under the watchful gaze of Earl Hebner. Vince McMahon, stood right at their side, his son now having made his exit, looks pleased as the Deadman turns back toward Forxx, his arm held high. JR reminds us that Orton doesnt have to be pinned to lose this match as Forxx stands, staggers around.... right into the Undertakers hand, the Phenoms about to go for the Chokeslam.... but Forxx hits the Gut Kick. Taker keels over allowing Forxx the right hand, a clubbing blow to the back, a second, Taker staggers toward the corner, Forxx has the arm, goes for the Whip.... reversed. Paul Heymans former charge is sent into the corner, the Deadman charging after him looking for the Clothesline..... Forxx dodges aside and Taker hits the pads. He staggers around and forward.... right into the waiting arms of Forxx, showing his stunning strength once more as he hoists Taker aloft for a Gorilla Press... can't hold him, the legs about to buckle.... and Forxx drops the Deadman abdomen first across his knee, the entire crowd wincing as he does. Forxx rolls over and grabs the leg, making the cover - one.. two.. thrno, Randy Orton lands on Forxxs back with an Axe Handle to break. Orton hits a few more opertunistic shots before Forxx stands and blocks, coming back with one of his own, Orton, Forxx, Orton, Forxx, exchanging blows until the bigger man gets a Side Knee, Randy keeling over and allowing Forxx to grab the head looking for the Suplex it seems.... Elbowed away by Orton. Forxx is staggering, allows Randy to dodge to the back, Underhook the arms.... and score with the Full Nelson Slam. No cover by the Legendkiller, instead he heads for the corner, climbing the Turnbuckle slowly and measuring up Forxx below as he rises. JR points out that the highrisk offense is uncharacteristic as Forxx turns to face him, Orton leaping into the air..... and he scores with the Crossbody... but Forxx rolls through, Randys shoulders down to the mat - one... two... threno, he kicks out. Orton and Forxx are both to their feet, Forxx the quicker off the mark and shoving the Champion back into the ropes, he grabs the arm - scores with the Whip, Orton goes running, rebounds, Forxx scoops him up, looking for the press... and Orton has it scouted, he slides down the back, grabs the head as he does.... scores with that Inverted Headlock Backbreaker. Randys about to go for the cover when the Deadman launches into him with a stiff right, another, another, Randy staggering into the corner where Taker unloads with ballistic punches, fist after fist after fist to the midsection, Taker allows him to come forward, scoops him up after the Snake Eyes... Orton slides down the back again, a nice counter.... as he shoves the Phenom into the pads. Taker staggers back, Orton goes for the School Boy, the crowd roaring as Triple Hs hands shoot under the bottom rope to hold down the Phenom - One... Two... Thrno, Hebner sees the assist and stops the count. Helmsley backs away with a grin and Vince spits abuse from the other side of the ring, demanding The DX Leader be ejected. Hebner lets it slide however and this match seems to be swinging in the favor of Randy as he hits a pair of stomps to the rising Deadman, getting behind him and locking in a Sleeper Hold. The Phenom is having none of the move however and as he properly stands.. he charges backwards, crushing Orton into the pads just as the figure of Forxx comes charging.....Taker leaps aside.... Forxx Clotheslines Orton in the corner. Both men stagger forward... right into the waiting Taker... both hands slapped around the throats.... and both men go for the ride
"DOUBLE CHOKESLAM, THE CHOKESLAMS, THIS IS IT... ITS OVER" roars Ross as Taker goes down into the Lateral Press, covering Orton
"ONE"
"TWO"
"THRENO HE KICKS OUT" cries JR, the crowd whistling for the closeness of the fall as the cursing Taker quickly covers Forxx, not giving up so easily
"ONE"
"TWO"
"THREAND FORXX KICKS OUT" finishes Ross, Taker looking pissed as he stands and draws his thumbs across his throat, calling for the finish. Forxx is unwisely staggering to his feet just that little bit quicker than Randy Orton. Forxx is on his feet, he staggers around, gets scooped up over the shoulder of the Deadman, moved into position for the Tombstone.... just as Randy scores with the Dropkick to the back of the upsidedown Forxx, both he and the Undertaker off balanced and going down, Forxx landing on top of Taker, the Referee beginning to count the unlikely Lateral Press till Orton breaks it with a stiff kick to Forxxs back. The big man tries to get up and is swiftly taken back down with a Falling Clothesline before the Legendkiller returns to the Undertaker, striking him with that European Uppercut as he staggers up on Spaghetti legs, Taker in the ropes, Orton grabs the arm, goes for the Whip - reversed, the Legendkiller goes running, and hooks his arms over the ropes on the otherside to stop himself rebounding. The Phenom is quickly aware of it and comes charging at Randy..... scoring with the Running DDT, Ortons lights turned out. He struggles up, clearly in no mans land, eyes back in his head as he walks right into first a Clothesline from the Deadman and then as he staggers up again a big Side Knee, The Phenom grabbing the head and thrusting it between his legs. He sweeps back his hair and throws his arm back before hoisting Orton up.... but he cant get him all the way, Ortons struggling, Taker staggers a few paces and Orton manages to breakaway in mid air his hands grabbing the Phenoms head
"RKO, RKO, RKO!!!!!!" screams Ross, stunned at the counter. Taker is down and suddenly all hell breaks loose. Vampiro and Shawn Justice are both up on the apron, Hebner trying to get them back as MNM charge round, Triple Hs attention taken by Doomsday whos trying to get into the ring while Hebner is distracted..... Michael Shane pulls down Vampiro, Nitro getting Shawn Justice in the Electric Chair position... and dropping him backward. The crowd are going nuts as Triple H grabs Doomsday around the waist, DD in turn grabbing ahold of Hebners legs as the Referee races across to protest... both men are pulled from the ring, Earl cracking his head on the mats as DD and Triple H struggle to their feet, MNM brawling with Vampiro and Justice, Vince McMahon not knowing which way to turn as the cheers turn to boos as the Undertaker sits bolt upright, both Randy Orton and Forxx just getting back up as well. The crowd turn again in an instant, the roof coming off the arena as the speakers burst to life with possibly the most famous chords in wrestling
"WHEN IT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND IT HURTS INSIDE.... YOU GOTTA TAKE A STAND IT DONT HELP TO HIDE....." roars the music, Real American blasting out, Vinces mouth agape
"ITS HOGAN!! ITS HOGAN!!" yells Ross again as the Hulkster strides onto stage with a purpose, steel chair in his hand
"IF YOU HURT MY FRIENDS, THEN YOU HURT MY PRIDE... I GOTTA BE A MAN, I CANT LET IT SLIDE...."
Hogan points at either Vince, the ring or both as he bounds down the aisle, McMahon getting one sight of the chair before backing away around the ring, quickly dodging past Doomsday whos in the process of dropping The Game across the barrier, the camera just catching Earl Hebner coming to his senses as we see Hogan bounding up the steps as The Undertaker slaps the hand around the throat of Randy Orton
"I AM A REAL AMERICAN, FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF EVERYMAN.... FIGHT FOR WHATS RIGHT, FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE..." continues the music as Hogan enters the ring, the Undertaker shoving aside Orton to face him - Hogan swings
THWAAAAAAAAAAACK
"OH GOD ALMIGHTY" spits Ross as the Hulkster downs the Undertaker, the Phenom out for the count. Hogan turns toward Randy Orton in the center of the ring and smiles, offering him his hand up. Orton takes in but as he lets go Hogan strikes
THWAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
"OH WHAT THE HELL?!? THE CHAIRSHOT! THE CHAIRSHOT!" screams Ross, Randy not going down but staggering back and around.... right into the waiting Forxx who scoops him up.... and drills him
"EXECUTION, EXECUTION, EXECUTION.... CAN IT BE?!?" screams Ross, Forxx going down to his knees just as Earl Hebner enters and Hogan exits, throwing down the chair in the aisle, the crowd looking in shock but still roaring as the lateral press is made, the crowd, JR and the World seemingly counting in unison, Vince McMahon himself charging for the ring
"ONE"
"TWO"
"THREE"
"FORXX, FORXX, FORXX IS THE CHAMPION!!!!!!!" screams Ross, blood vessels surely bursting as the arena erupts
"WHAT!!!!!!??" squeals King, Forxx on his knees with emotion as Vince falls from the edge of the mat in defeat, the speakers bursting to life
"I SEE YOU, CAUSE YOU WONT GET OUT OF MY WWWWWAY.... I HEAR YOU, CAUSE YOU WONT QUIT SCREAMING MY NAME.... "
Forxx throws back his head and lets out a roar of pure pleasure, Vince shaking his head at ringside, trying to block it out
"I FEEL YOU, CAUSE YOU WONT QUIT TOUCHING MY SKIN.... I NEED YOU, THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE YOU AWAY" scream Breaking Benjamin, pyro now going off in the rafters, one huge mass of noise and emotion
"ALL THE YEARS, THE PAIN, THE LOSSES, THE DEFEATS, THE UN-APPRICIATION, THE PAIN AND THE AGONY HAVE BEEN WORTH IT, ITS ALL PAID OFF BECAUSE TONIGHT, ON THIS NIGHT FEBRUARY 5 2007, FORXX CAN CALL HIMSELF WWE CHAMPION!!!" roars JR
"BAH GAWD HE'S DONE IT" he adds as the WWE Championship belt is placed in Forxxs hands, the new Champion rising and holding it aloft, the camera showing Hulk Hogan just exiting through the entrance way, D-Generation X finishing off the Corporate Ministry at ringside before heading up the aisle themselves, applauding the new Champion
"OH WHAT A MOMENT" goes Ross as Forxx climbs the far Turnbuckles, holding the belt aloft
"Forxx now the one with all the gold, the WWE and Intercontinental Champion... theres questions to be answered King, the speculating im sure has already begun, the rumors beginning but the fact of the matter is, the ONLY thing that matters right now is that that man Forxx is our New WWE Champion...." he continues
"BAH GAWD WHAT A RAW..... THIS IS ONE I WISHED WOULD NEVER END... WE'LL SEE YA NEXT TIME BUT BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO OUR COLLEAGUES MICHAEL COLE AND JBL NEXT FRIDAY FOR SMACKDOWN, BUT FOR NOW.... SO LONG FOLKS"
And thats all we hear as the camera focuses on Forxx and his brand new WWE Championship as we fade away to first the scratch logo and then blackness as this edition of Raw comes to an end.
