[Taker it Easy]

Bret Hart vs Sting is a heat and tumultuous feud that almost results in the destruction of the WWF. It brings the rating, the matches are beyond the best but the personal rivalry and business rivalry becomes so heated that it nearly destroys everything. The belt is passed back and forth for nearly a year much like trench warfare in WW1, only inches are gained and lost. Chaos and confusion run rampant in the WWF. Somehow this angle has made the entire roster foam at the mouth for a shot at the top. Near the end of the feud there seems to be one clear answer on everyone's mind, there are two WWF champions like when Rome had two emperors.

It is RAW is WAR, Sting has the belt and the situation is deteriorating. Some wrestlers suggest that Bret is the true champion, half of the audiences seems to think so.

Sting cuts a promo stating that he has the belt and that his word goes. He tells everyone to shut up and resolves to only defend his belt at major PPV's. Bret Hart appears in front of the titantron and confronts him. Stating that Sting has yet to prove he is the legitimate champion and that he must wrestle until it is clear who the best in WWF is. We have seen this all before, for months these two have been going at it like this. It erupts.

Stone Cold rushes the ring. Half way down the isle he is followed by Owen Hart who rushes the ring, then THE ENTIRE WWF ROSTER BEGINS TO RUSH THE RING.

One by one and in group all of the wrestlers run and chase to the ring. Suddenly the largest brawl in WWF history is taking place. This is a passion fight, there are no rules, no sanctions and most importantly nobody is in control of this thing anymore. The ring is filled with so many wrestlers that the fight spills over onto the ring apron and into the area outside of the ring. Wrestlers are fighting to get inside at Bret and Sting who are in the middle. The mexican commentators suddenly get up and run through the audience. JR and McMahon see this and follow them to safety.

The ring collapses. Fans begin throwing things or handing things to the wrestlers who are nearly over flowing past the guard rails. Three fourths of the roster lay unconscious or are on the ground in pain. The fight is still going on in sporadic groups. Bret and Sing still at the center, a bloody and torn mess. A camera crew catches Vince running past concession stands, his hair frazzled, he is yelling "SECURITY! SECURITY!".

The P.A. system booms with a bear like roar. "STOP THIS. STOP THIS RIGHT DAMN NOW". Such a powerful voice, it tears through everybody.

It is Vince's voice, he is panting and unlike we have heard him before. "Fine, you want a champion. You want control. You want order. I have a solution. STOP THIS, you are destroying the WWF. MY CREATION."

Things die down and silence fills the arena for the first time in the whole night. "Next week on Monday Night Raw I promise that this will be over. That resolution will appear. I know how to clear this up. Now everyone, grab your things and go home." Raw fades to black, the show still had 14 minutes of air time.

A week goes by and it seems things are held together by promises and words. Such things are not very strong but this is the will of Vince McMahon.

It is RAW is WAR. The show starts cold, no intro. The feed just comes on. Vince is in the ring. He summaries the situation and appears concerned. He states, "I am going to introduce to you the solution for this mess and the solution to heal my organization. You will listen to this man and if you must you will fight him. But you will lose and you will feel pain like no other man has ever felt because I have told him to do so. To prove to you who is in control and you will never forget it. GET OUT HERE."

Silence goes by, a moment sets in and then Lex Luger appears. No music plays. He is dressed to wrestle. Lex walks down to the ring in silence, things are uneasy. He is given a mic and says, "STING, there is one thing worse than death and that is torture. Sting, torture is worse than death. You have something of mine."

Vince cuts him off and orders Sting and get to the ring. Sting appears and Vince continues to talk. He states that Sting is now stripped of the WWF title. The place erupts and at any moment this could turn real life violent. Sting shakes his head. "DO IT STING". He begrudges and hands the belt to Vince who suddenly refuses it, "No Sting, give it to Lex or you are fired."

He finally gives up the title and Vince continues proudly. "Tonight is a special Raw. Tonight, WWF Champion Lex Luger will defend the championship belt against all comers. If you want a title shot, if you think you are champion then get out here. Get in line, Lex will put you in your place."

So it begins. For two hours Lex fights all comers. Anyone who wants a title match just has to appear near the titantron and wait for their turn. Lex beats them all. An hour into the show Vinces orders the divas to come out and entertain the fans while Lex enjoys a short but small respite. The show continues and Lex defeats all comers. Some quickly, some harshly, some matches short and others longer, some were close calls but he wins them all. He defeats Bret and then Sting appears for his shot. He refuses to get into the ring and says he wants a PPV match for the belt. Vince tells him we are settling this now. Sting leaves the arena visibly upset. Lex stands in the ring beaten and torn down but still standing, nobody is left or willing to challenge him. He has a mic and bellows into it, "LUGERAMA!" for nearly a full breath. When he stops the audience continues, "lugerama, lugerama, lugerama...".

This is when Sting begins to stalk Lex Luger. Nobody messes with Lex after that night. After nearly a year of brewing chaos things finally begin calming down.
