Finally got time to book the first Raw after Invasion.
The show naturally started out with ECW. Heyman delivered a promo, explaining to the world that ECW was gonna win this war, and that people better get ready because they were gonna be all over Raw tonight. Nobody was quite sure of what this meant, but Austin came out and brawled with Rhyno...Goldberg came out as well. A three-way brawl ensued, setting up for the likely SummerSlam main event.
The Dudleyz took on X-Factor in a 6-man tag team match. Surprisingly, Lance Storm of WCW ran in from the crowd and superkicked Albert, allowing the diminutive Spike to pick up the pin. X-Pac and Justin Credible tended to their downed teammate, until Credible delivered a superkick of his own, knocking X-Pac out. A 5-on-2 beatdown ensued, and soon enough the fans realized that ECW just got 5 more guys.
Then later in the same night, Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman of WCW were invited to a re-match against the Hardyz to see if they could get back the Cruiserweight Tag Titles they had lost the previous night. However, two WWF lightweights, Jerry Lynn and Tajiri, crashed the party. They attacked all 4 men, and ECW had itself 2 more defectors.
The final segment of the night saw WWF Owner Vince McMahon and WCW Owner Shane McMahon in the ring. They were both pleading with Heyman, saying that they no longer could trust their locker rooms because they didn't know who was gonna switch. Heyman came out, and informed the McMahons "ECW has plenty more people coming over...and I don't mean just from your locker rooms."
As Vince and Shane tried to figure out what the hell that meant: Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, and Sabu emerged from different corners of the crowd. They beat the living shit out of both owners, to the delight of basically everyone. A great markout moment to end the show.
-------
So yeah, so far ECW has 13 guys: Heyman, Rhyno, Dreamer, RVD, Sabu, Sandman, Lynn, Tajiri, the Impact Players, and the Dudleyz. There are at least 4 other defections planned, plus 2 more people I'm planning on bringing in.
