Vince McMahon and Kurt Angle come down to the ring as Vince says that one week ago, they had the first inductee of the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club which felt good and he likes people kissing his ass, and he says that tonight there will be a second person that will join the club tonight though before he reveals who it is, he wants to introduce an Olympic Hero and a WWF Hero as well as someone who’s never kissed his ass in Angle. Angle says that all his life, he’s been a winner and since he was a little kid, he was the toughest kid on his block and no one ever stepped foot in the sandbox unless he said, and he says that he was a Boy Scout and was the toughest and decorated in the history of the group. He says that his leader told him he was special and then in high school, he was All-State in athletics and the toughest kid in the Glee Club while also being the prom king. He says that he won two national titles in wrestling in college while also graduating as Magna Cum Laude, and Vince tells the fans to show Angle some respect as Angle says that he then went to the Olympics in 1996 where he won a gold medal for the USA. He says that he became the best in the world though that was just the beginning as he joined the WWF and won every title there is to win, and he says that leads us to Vengeance as we will crown an Undisputed World Champion and he will face Steve Austin for the WWF Title. He says that after he wins the WWF Title, the winner of the Rock/Jericho World Title match will face him and they will bow in defeat as he will be the first Undisputed World Champion, and he says that he’s not an ass kisser and asks about his Thanksgiving as they have some footage to show from RAW last week which they do and then they show footage from Smackdown. He says that it was magnificent which leads him to a point he wants to make which is that Austin doesn’t anymore of him, and he says that Austin learned his lesson before and doesn’t want to go through McMahon/Austin II as that was a sample of what will happen if Austin continues to cross them. He says that it’s not too much to ask if tonight he will take his jacket off, drops his trousers, and show off his behind as Austin will come out and kiss his ass, and he says that if Austin knows what’s good for him, that’s what will happen tonight.
 
We see William Regal, Christian, Test, and the Dudley Boyz watching backstage as they get excited about what Vince just said, as Regal says that Austin will try to get even with them though they will have to stick together. Just then, Ric Flair comes in and says that they should be proud of themselves as they thought he wouldn’t confront them about it, and he says that if anyone interferes in each other’s matches they will be suspended as Test reminds him about his immunity though Flair says he’s not immune from being suspended. Regal says that if they can’t get involved in each other’s matches, then Austin shouldn’t be able to get involved either and Flair agrees to it though he won’t be able to control him backstage as rattlesnakes are hard to handle when they’re mad.

Analysis: We kick off this edition of RAW with our first title match of the night. Christian has been rolling as European Champion and faces a tough challenge here in Jeff, who was back after his nasty spot at Survivor Series and looks to become champion here.

Jeff ducks a shot and pounds on Christian to start the match as Christian catches a kick attempt and Jeff hits a spin kick, and he pounds on Christian who reverses a whip and Jeff lands on his feet on a backdrop attempt though he loses his balance as Christian pounds on him.

The match itself was nothing much as both men worked hard for the 3 minutes they got though this was more about continuing the issues between the Hardyz while giving Christian a clean title defense. The crowd was into the match and Jeff, but are not happy when Christian wins. Christian retains the title over Jeff and both men move on. Grade: 1

The crowd was into the match and popped for RVD when he won. RVD retains the title over D-Von and both men move on. Grade: 1

Stratus hooks a rollup and pulls Keibler’s shorts off as she ducks a shot and hits a kick which gets the three and she retains the title. The match itself was nothing much as both women did what they could and put on a bit of a sloppy title match. Stratus was slowly getting into a groove while Keibler was also getting into a groove, and they had decent chemistry as Stratus gets a clean title defense. The crowd was into the match and popped for Stratus when she won. Stratus retains the title over Keibler and both women move on. Grade: 1
 
We see the Rock walking down the hallway.
 
Commercial break
 
The Rock comes down to the ring and says that he has finally come back to Oklahoma City as he says in less than two weeks, history will be made as there will be one Undisputed Champion and last time he checked, there were two champions in the WWF Champion Steve Austin and himself as the World Champion. He says that everybody is hyped up tonight and he is with them as he never claimed to be a genius, but if you have two champions and want one champion then it would make sense to have the champions face each other. He says that it would make more sense for him and Austin to face off one-on-one to determine the Undisputed Champion in a WrestleMania rematch, and he says that Vince McMahon doesn’t see the logic as he woke up one morning and said having champion face the champion was ridiculous. He says that Vince believed what does make sense was having two losers like Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho in the ring to get their asses whooped, and he says that Vince thinks it makes sense to have a grown man kiss his ass and also go into the forest and have a woodchuck nibble on his scrotum. He says that Vince believes he would go to another forest and find a deer which he would have his antlers stuck up his anus, and he says that makes sense because Vince believes he can do anything as Rock tells him to shut his mouth. He says that Vince wants to do things his way including having him be in a handicap match tonight, and he says that at Vengeance in front of the millions of his fans only for Chris Jericho to come out on the stage. He says that it’s funny that Rock mentions the millions of fans because it was the fans that led him to an epiphany, and he says that he had a moment of clarity last week and realized what his problem was as he realized his biggest weakness was caring about what the people thought of him. He says that he cared about their opinions and when he arrived at an arena, he wasn’t concerned about winning matches but rather entertaining the people which was fun though it didn’t get him anywhere. He says that he has turned at the biggest point of his career as he started caring more about himself than the fans, and he says that he is now a bigger star because of that and he has become larger than life as he is now completely focused on the task of beating the hell out of Rock at Vengeance and becoming Undisputed Champion. He says that he will cement his status as the new living legend of the WWF and Rock says Jericho will be a legend because at Vengeance, Jericho’s former fans will watch him beat Jericho and whoop his ass that night as well as tonight and he won’t stop until he becomes Undisputed Champion. He says that since Jericho interrupted him, this is for him on behalf of the millions of his fans if you smell what he is cooking.

The match itself was decent as both men worked hard and put on a decent title match. Edge was getting into a groove by this point while Test was also getting into a groove, and they still had good chemistry as Test gets himself DQ’ed and Edge retains. The crowd was into the match and Edge, but are not happy with the ending. Edge gets the win over Test by DQ and escapes with the title as both men move on. Grade: 1.5

The match itself was nothing much as Show dominated until Regal steals the win at the end. The crowd was into the match and Show, but are not happy when Regal wins.

We see Vince McMahon in his office as the Undertaker comes in and Vince wants to know if he had a good Thanksgiving, and he says that he put Taker in the main event against Angle and he wants to clear something up as he was going to use the chair on Taker if he didn’t let go of Angle. He says that he cares about Taker for 11 years and he’s given him nothing but respect because he never had to look behind him to know Taker was there, and he says that he took it for granted which is the ultimate respect you can give someone and he knew he could count on Taker. He says that he needs to think about the fact that he owes him because he is the real deal and there is no one like him, and he says that Taker does what he does in the WWF thanks to him and he may not agree, but he says that they are a lot more alike than Taker thinks.
 
We see a shot outside WWF New York and we go inside where Lance Storm is as he says he’s biding his time and waiting for the perfect moment to get his revenge, and he says he’s too big a talent to be ignored and held back as he will get his spot back until we see he is working as a janitor and a chef yells at him to take care of the toilet.

Vince McMahon comes down to the ring and says that it’s time to get on with it as in a moment, he will drop his trousers, take his jacket off, and pull down his underwear as Steve Austin will kiss his ass, and he says that for the few fans that are here he wants to say that Austin won’t do anything that everyone else wouldn’t do. He says that everyone kisses their bosses’ ass and when they look in the mirror, they see a genuine ass-kisser and they shouldn’t be upset when Austin does what they would do as he brings out Austin who comes down to the ring with a beer in hand, and Vince says that Austin is enjoying some liquid courage and he doesn’t have to kiss a fat Oklahoma ass. He says that he has a nice ass that’s worthy of being kissed and they need to end this once and for all as he takes off his jacket, and he says it’s time to get down to business and Austin needs to get on his knees as he doesn’t want to have McMahon/Austin II. He says that they have to end this tonight by having Austin publicly kiss his ass as Austin says he wants to think about it and he takes a drink from his beer, and Vince asks if Austin will kiss his ass or not and Austin says for the last few months, he’s seen Vince for what he is and he’s gotten smarter in the process. He says that he doesn’t want any more issues between them and it’s time to bury the hatchet as Vince says that’s his point, and he tells Austin to pucker up as he pulls his pants down and Austin calls him the ugliest stripper he’s ever seen. Vince then pulls out the chap stick and hands it to Austin as he tells him to put some on his lips and Austin says he will do this the right way, and Vince says Austin’s breath smells like beer and Austin asks if it smells that bad as he says Vince said this was something everyone would do. He pulls out a bottle of mouthwash and tells him to use it as Austin says Vince is getting on his nerves though he will do this the right way, and Austin uses the mouthwash and asks if Vince is satisfied as Vince tells him to get on his knees and pull his underwear down. He says there’s not one blemish on his ass and Austin gets on his knees as he says before he does this, he wants Vince to make his ass do a trick which he does and Austin says this is over if he does this which Vince confirms. He tells Austin to kiss his ass and Austin asks if he uses toilet paper as he says this is hard for him and Vince says he doesn’t have all night, and he demands Austin kiss his ass and Austin makes like he will do it only to give Vince a low blow. He takes his belt off and whips Vince’s ass with it repeatedly as the Dudley Boyz and William Regal run down to the ring, and then Christian and Test run down to the ring and they assault Austin as Kurt Angle also runs down to the ring. Austin whips at all of them and rolls outside as they brawl with Austin into the crowd while Angle checks on Vince, and then they turn their attention to Jim Ross as Vince asks if he is laughing at him and everyone has the gall to laugh at him. He says he’ll give them something to laugh about as he and Angle go outside and grab Ross before bringing him into the ring, and Angle holds Ross from behind as Vince says everyone can laugh at him though he has decided that Ross will do what everyone will do as he will make everyone kiss his ass through Ross. Angle brings Ross to his knees as Vince tells him to kiss his ass only for the Undertaker to come down to the ring, and he takes the mike and hands Ross his hat as he says that he’s been here a long time and he thought he’s seen it all. He says that he wants to get this right in that Vince wants Ross to kiss his ass and Angle would force Ross to kiss Vince’s ass, and he says in 11 years, he’s seen a lot of people come and go and he’s seen the games they’ve played as well as the games Vince has played. He says that at the end of the day, they all kissed Vince’s ass and the one that’s done it the most was himself, and he says he’s been here 11 years and he’s still putting up with Vince’s crap after all this time. He says he will take care of this but first wants to ask Ross if he was going to kiss Vince’s ass and Ross says he wasn’t, and Taker asks if Ross wants to kiss Vince’s ass and Ross says no as Taker asks if that’s because Ross is better than him. He knocks Ross down and again asks if Ross thinks he’s better than him because right now in front of his family, Ross will kiss Vince’s ass as he tells Vince to drop his pants which he does and he says Ross thinks he’s better than him for not kissing Vince’s ass. He says that he will see to it that Ross kisses Vince’s ass as he picks him up though says that it’s not right, and he grabs Ross’ hat and puts it on Vince before grabbing Ross and sticking his face in Vince’s ass as Vince mocks Ross while Angle and Taker look on and we go off the air.
 
Final Analysis: Overall, this edition of RAW was a pretty solid episode with a big moment at the end. After the hard reset last week, we were now starting to get the build towards Vengeance while continuing the dynamic with Vince and Flair as co-owners. We had four title matches on the show as Edge, Christian, RVD, and Stratus retain their titles while Regal, Rock, and Kane get big wins, and in terms of the matches the main event was easily the best though the big moment was Taker turning heel and forcing Ross to kiss Vince’s ass. 2001 has been a great year for the WWF as they have been red hot for the whole year and now we will see if they can end the year on a strong note. As for this night, it is a solid episode to continue the build to Vengeance. Final Grade: C+
