411’s WWF Raw Is War Report 12.18.00
Live from Greenville, SC
Announced by JR and King
Report exclusively for 411 by PK

We get a video package on the McMahon family squabbling.

Intro.

Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring. He his saddened and burdened. His life has changed. He says his reaction was misinterpreted. He was sad, but that’s not what it looked like. Linda suffered a major nervous breakdown, and he will take a lot of the blame, but Mick Foley also deserves some of the blame. Stephanie also deserves some of the blame. If Steph didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t have said the things he did on Smackdown. Starting tonight, he will start making things right in his personal and business life, but before he does, he must place most of the blame on Linda herself. He cares about her, and he has instructed his lawyers to temporarily postpone the divorce procedures. He also put together a video package of them two. It’s a bunch of stills of them two together. HHH’s music hits and Stephanie comes down. She looks a little pissed. She his here to tell him what she thinks of him. She called him disgusting, but after what she just saw, that doesn’t quite fit. His actions make her sick. She calls him a mean old bastard. He goes on to say that Shane was conceived in the back of the Impala. Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring. He is disgusted to see this happening. For one member of a family to show such disrespect. He is ashamed of the way Stephanie is acting. The Commish comes out. He was disgusted to see they way Vince is treating Steph and Linda. Kurt then gets in Foley’s face, only to have Foley make fun of him and make him defend the Title tonight. He will make him defend against a real bad ass, a former WWF Champion, and a man Angle has never wrestled….VINCE!!
