This article is about the television program You may be looking for the 1994 video game or the 2002 video game WWE Raw is [6] Meanwhile, some hostility between Triple H and his wife Stephanie was starting to show, with the face Triple H tired of Stephanie's heel characteristics. In Professional wrestling, a face or babyface is a character who is portrayed as Heroic relative to the heel wrestlers who are analogous to villains In Professional wrestling, a heel is a Villain character In non-wrestling jargon heels are the "bad guys" in pro wrestling storylines. [6][7] In order to recover their relationship, Stephanie suggested on RAW that the two should renew their wedding vows on the following week. At first Triple H refused, but Stephanie revealed that she was pregnant, making him change his mind. Pregnancy ( Latin graviditas) is the carrying of one or more offspring known as a Fetus or Embryo, inside the Uterus of a Female [8] To further prove it, the two met a doctor on the next episode of SmackDown! with ultrasound images. Not to be confused with Supersonic. Ultrasound is cyclic Sound pressure with a Frequency greater than the upper [9] On the February 11 episode of RAW just before the wedding, Triple H was met with a phone call by his mother-in-law Linda McMahon, who had sent him a video tape revealing that the doctor was in fact an actor and that Stephanie was not pregnant. Linda Marie Edwards-McMahon (born October 4 1948) is the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc At the wedding, Triple H turned on Stephanie and attacked her along with her father Vince McMahon, announcing that their marriage was now over. Vincent Kennedy McMahon (born August 24 1945 popularly known by his Ring name Mr [10] During these weeks, Kurt Angle was given a match with Triple H's WrestleMania title shot on the line at No Way Out. No Way Out (2002 was a Professional wrestling Pay-per-view (PPV event produced by World Wrestling Federation (WWF [9] In revenge for the ruined wedding, Vince granted Stephanie the chance to be the special guest referee for the match. Many types of matches, sometimes called "concept" or " gimmick matches" in the jargon of the business, can be found in the form of Performing [11] At No Way Out with clear biasing from Stephanie, Kurt Angle defeated Triple H for the title shot. [12] The following night on RAW, WWF co-owner Ric Flair granted Triple H a rematch with Stephanie barred from the ring, enabling him to regain his title shot at Chris Jericho. Richard Morgan Fliehr According to WWE and PWI Flair is an eight-time National Wrestling Alliance (NWA Champion, six-time WCW Champion [13] On the February 21 episode of SmackDown!, Jericho met with Stephanie and put their differences in the past, ending with Stephanie accepting Jericho's proposal to be his new business partner. [14] To further the feud, Jericho later speculated that he ended the marriage by causing Triple H's quadriceps muscle to (legitimately) tear in 2001, thus diverting Triple H's attention to his wife. "Quads" redirects here For other uses see Quad The quadriceps femoris ( Latin for "four-headed of the femur" also In Professional wrestling, a shoot refers to any unplanned event &ndash that is an event that is "real" and not staged [15] In the divorce settlement for the two, it was announced that the assets would be split between them "fifty-fifty" to Stephanie's disgust.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a Sports car that has been manufactured by General Motors since 1953 The Bulldog, colloquially known as the British Bulldog or English Bulldog, is a medium-size breed of Dog that originated in England [16] Stephanie managed to win Lucy in the settlement and later on the March 11 episode of RAW sent Jericho to walk the dog. Unpleased about this, Jericho tied Lucy to a limousine and ordered the unknowing driver to buy some air fresheners, running Lucy over into a critical condition by accident. Wanting retribution, Triple H stormed into the arena and tried to attack Stephanie but was met with some chair shots to his recovered leg by Jericho. [17] On the following episode of SmackDown!, Stephanie noted that the chair shots had left Triple H's quad in a condition that one false move in his WrestleMania match could reinjure his quadriceps once again. At the end of the show, Triple H and Jericho had a brawl in the ring that almost ended with a Pedigree on Stephanie. A facebuster, also known as a faceplant, is generally a takedown move in Professional wrestling in which an attacking wrestler forces his/her opponent down However, Jericho saved her and locked the Walls of Jericho on Triple H, leaving the show with the advantage.

[13] Steve Austin's involvement also commenced at No Way Out, when after having their gift of beer refused, the nWo interfered with Austin's Undisputed Championship match against Chris Jericho, helping Jericho to win before spray painting the nWo initials on Austin's back. [12] Austin finally got his revenge on the February 21 edition of SmackDown! when he chased the nWo out of the ring with a tire iron. A tire iron ( tyre iron, or tyre lever, in British English is a specialized metal Tool used in working with Tires that have Inner tubes Austin manages to catch Hall and attack him with the tire iron but Hogan and Nash saved Hall from being run over by Austin's pickup truck. After the nWo found their limousine spray painted "What?" by Austin, Stone Cold kidnapped Hall and closed the show by embarrassing him in the middle of the ring with "3:16" spray painted on his back. [14] On the following episode of RAW, Hall challenged Austin to a match at WrestleMania which Austin accepted afterwards. [15] The feud between Austin and the nWo continued back and forth for the next couple of weeks with Austin attacked by Hall twice with a cinder block[15] and a wrench[19], while Austin fired a netgun at Nash before beating down Hall.

However, the nWo's attack was stopped by Stone Cold who saved The Rock with the aid of a steel chair.

Another major feud for WrestleMania X8 was the rivalry between The Undertaker and the WWF co-owner, Ric Flair. Mark William Calaway (born March 24 1965 is an American professional wrestler, better known by his Ring name The Undertaker. The feud started over The Undertaker's ambush on The Rock during the build up to No Way Out, with Undertaker giving The Rock a Chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver onto a car.

[9][10] At the No Way Out event, Flair interfered with Undertaker's match against The Rock, finally hitting Undertaker with a lead pipe to aid The Rock in victory. [12] Far from pleased over this result, The Undertaker challenged Flair to a match at WrestleMania. Flair refused, stating that he is an owner and no longer a wrestler. [13] However, Undertaker tried to convince Flair by attacking select members of Flair's friends and family. Following a match on the February 25 edition of RAW, Flair's friend Arn Anderson was ambushed by The Undertaker during his road agent duties. Martin Anthony Lunde (born September 20 1958) better known by his Ring name Arn Anderson, is a former American professional wrestler [15] The Undertaker followed this the following week by attacking Flair's son David, threatening that the rest of Flair's children would follow.

Later that night the two ended up brawling into the audience, resulting in Flair punching out a fan by accident. As a result, Flair was arrested to Undertaker's delight. [16] On the March 11 episode of RAW, Flair's rival co-owner Vince McMahon asked for an emergency board meeting with the WWF board of directors citing that Flair's attack of a fan was unacceptable and that either he or Flair should have absolute authority and power over the company. With Flair still keen on taking on Undertaker at WrestleMania, CEO Linda McMahon had no choice but to give Vince total control over the company. Linda Marie Edwards-McMahon (born October 4 1948) is the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc Despite this, Linda also stated that the ownership situation will also be reviewed after WrestleMania with a final decision. [17] To add further insult, Vince McMahon booked David Flair in a match against The Undertaker on the March 14 episode of SmackDown!. The Undertaker almost gave David a Last Ride, but was stopped by Ric Flair who saved his son with some steel chair shots.
