Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 21, 2000

RAW

The DX Express shows up at the arena, and D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori come out. Triple H tells the driver to stay put, "because you never know when a WWF Superstar is gonna want to tkae a ride on the DX Express."

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori show up to start tonight's show. Stephanie asks the crowd to pay attention, but she gets booed so much that she tells them to shut up. She then talks about how they stuffed Kane, Paul Bearer and Cactus Jack in the DX Express and how she and DX had an image of the three of them stranded in the middle of nowhere, and Triple H mocks the mans for being "sweaty, toothless morons." The Rock suddenly shows up soon after that, but Triple H is not impressed when The Rock says he has come back to Atlanta, Georgia. He then says he and Triple H have developed a pattern where every single week, Triple H runs his mouth and subjects everyone to watch him cut a 20-minute promo where he does not really say anything. He mocks Triple H's voice as he does this, then tells Triple H he actually sucks. He says tonight will be a special night, but it will not be a DX night as the thought of another DX night makes him want to stick his finger down his throat and spew "The People's Vomit" all over DX. Triple H compliments "the pajama top" that The Rock is wearing, then says as much as he hates him, he can count on The Rock coming out each week to mention of his catchphrases so DX can laugh at him. However, if he says tonight will be a DX night, it will be a DX night. Since there are four of DX and just one of The Rock, The Rock does not have a chance or a choice. Suddenly, Cactus Jack shows up, and admits that DX left stranded in the middle of the road last Thursday night, but they did not leave him stranded for long as he has been hitch-hiking around the country since he was seventeen years old, and unlike Triple H, America does not hate his guts. He says it did not take long before a big truck with a driver named Big Earl showed up and he told him stories about what he will do to Triple H at No Way Out, including the one where he goes outside of the cage, heads up to the top and flies off the top onto him. Along the way, they saw two more figures and picked up a couple more passengers: Kane and Paul Bearer, who show up. Cactus Jack then says a six-man tag match would sound like a lot of fun, and he decides to give the Atlanta fans a taste of what they can expect to see Sunday. Both sides brawl, then Big Show runs in with a steel chair and levels anyone who is not a member of DX. The Rock and Kane receive a head shot from the steel chair, and Cactus Jack gets Pedigreed by Triple H. Referees and officials head to the ring to restore order.

The six-man tag match between the team of The Rock, Cactus Jack and Kane vs. the team of D-Generation X (Triple H and X-Pac) and Big Show is made official.

Chyna is the focus of the cover and feature article of the newest issue of Raw Magazine.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho welcomes everyone to "Raw is Jericho," then says all the Jerichoholics are ready for a rock 'n roll party tonight. He then asks who could be a better host for "this shindig" than him and Chyna. Kurt Angle then comes out and says that not good thing has happened in Atlanta, Georgia since he won Olympic gold in 1996, and that since then, Atlanta has gone from cheering Olympic heroes to cheering "punks and foul-mouthed hooligans and bad apples" like John Rocker, Isaiah Rider and Chris Jericho. He then explains himself for last week's actions on SmackDown when he attacked Chyna with the WWF European Championship. He then says he was told by reliable sources that Chyna was going to steal his belt and sell it for money so she could buy more plastic surgery. He then says he and The British Bulldog are going to give Jericho and Chyna they will never, ever forget, mocking Jericho as he says "ever." Jericho attacks both men, starting the next match early.

The doctor tells Rikishi he should not compete tonight, and Too Cool tells Rikishi not to worry about Eddie Guerrero, but Rikishi tells them to handle their business.

Before the next match, Al Snow talks with "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman backstage. Snow says Too Cool are over because they dance, and says he and Blackman should dance, too. Snow puts some sunglasses on Blackman's face, then Al Snow turns on a stereo and tries to dance to it. Blackman is not impressed.

The Radicals (Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko) beat The Godfather and D'Lo Brown despite Saturn not being the legal man as he hits the top rope elbow drop prior to the pinfall. Before the match, it is announced that fans can chat with Tazz, The Rock and The Radicals (Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero) on an exclusive webcast on WWE.com at 11 PM Eastern after Raw.

Backstage, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) and The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) argue. Billy Gunn says he and Road Dogg know what they are doing, and tells them to follow while they lead. Buh Buh Ray tells The New Age Outlaws that he and D-Von will see them in the ring, and tells them to try to keep up.

WWF warns us: don't try this at home.

The DX Express is still parked outside of the arena.

WAR ZONE

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry beat The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) and Viscera. After the match, Mae Young gets in the ring and stomps on Crash Holly only to get clotheslined by Hardcore Holly and splashed by Viscera.

A distraught "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry joins Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah in the ambulance with Mae Young.

Chris Benoit beats Test. During the match, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko are seen watching the match on a television monitor. Later on in the match, Eddie Guerrero sneaks towards the ring with his left arm still in a cast, and smacks Test in the back with a piece of pipe, unbeknownst to the referee. Benoit then hits the flying headbutt from the top rope for the win.

Rikishi Phatu comes down to the ring on a reinforced steel crutch for his match with Eddie Guerrero as the rest of The Radicalz (Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko) watch from backstage on a television monitor. Guerrero shows up and says that Rikishi isn't looking "too cool," and mockingly asks if Rikishi put too much weight on it before saying Rikishi hurt it while dancing. He tells Rikishi not to go anywhere, and says that since Rikishi's ultimate goal is to get on Dance Fever, he will show him a new step, which he. As soon as Eddie turns his back, Rikishi then smacks the crutch into Eddie's head and hits the Banzai Drop on Eddie to get the win, revealing that he is not hurt after all. Rikishi Phatu beats Eddie Guerrero in a no-disqualification match. After the match, the rest of The Radicalz attack Rikishi, but Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) show up with crutches of their own and use them to level The Radicalz. Perry Saturn eats the spike piledriver, and Too Cool stand tall in the ring before dancing.

The DX Express is seen outside of the arena again.

Michael Cole interviews Cactus Jack, who does not care if he takes a ride on the DX Express again, as he will hitchhike to get to where he needs to again. What obsesses him, however, is the look he wants to have and cannot stop thinking about: the look on Triple H's face when he is 23 feet above the ring ready to leap off the cage on top of him. He says he has to win at No Way Out, or else he, Mankind and Dude Love are done and will never again. He will dive off the top of the cage, and if he has to show up to WrestleMania with a walker, he will. Leaping off the top of the cell is the one thing he has never done, and at Hell In A Cell at No Way Out, it is the one thing he has to and will do.

Backstage, Triple H tells X-Pac that they and Big Show will get the job done, and X-Pac and Big Show open up the baggage compartment of the DX Express as Triple H says that somebody will be taking a ride tonight.

Tazz beats The Big Boss Man by disqualification after Boss Man uses his nightstick to break the Tazzmission. After the match, Prince Albert shows up and attacks Tazz, then gangs up on him along with The Big Boss Man.

Big Show and D-Generation X (Triple H and X-Pac) beat The Rock, Cactus Jack and Kane after Triple H hits Cactus Jack with a fire extinguisher behind referee Earl Hebner's back. After the match, The Rock is seen beating up Big Show on top of a pile of boxes, and Triple H runs over there. Kane and X-Pac also go at it there near a production area, and both team s continue to brawl. WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley hits Cactus Jack with a trash can lid, which distracts Cactus Jack so that Triple H can hit him. Afterwards, Triple H, Stephanie, Tori and X-Pac run back to the DX Express, but Cactus Jack has caught up. Triple H tries to slow Cactus Jack down by throwing things at him, and he and Stephanie make it back to the DX Express. Cactus Jack pushes a steel pole through the front windshield of the DX Express, which manages to speed off.
