U.S. Cellular Center

Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Attendance: 8,602

November 23, 2004

Fans hustled into the U.S. Cellular Center, formerly the Five Seasons Center, just two days before Thanksgiving for what looked like a spectacular show. With it being the final stop before King of the Ring, fans were very intent to hear about the condition of Jordan Rockwell and to see the Universal title match contract signing between Dylan Jansens and the champion Rhyno. Uprising got things started with 2 matchups.

Luther Reigns vs. Chris Masters (invitee)

Chris Masters was working his second match on Uprising as an invitee and at 21 years old, the TWF seems to have a lot of interest in him. 2 scouts in particular were in the crowd to watch his performance but before they could even get their pencils moving, Reigns booted him right in the head and moments later, dropped him with his reverse Test Drive neckbreaker to defeat him in just over 1 minute.

The Prince vs. Johnny Stamboli

The Prince came out ultra-aggressive in this one and was beating the tar out of The Bull. But just like he did last week, he grabbed a steel chair from outside the ring and brought it in. Ready to strike Stamboli, The Prince had the chair pulled away from him by the referee. Then, Stamboli came up from behind and rolled him up, hooking his pants to get the win. But as Stamboli celebrated, The Prince grabbed the chair and smacked him over the head before threatening to do the same to the referee.

UPRISING ENDED WITH "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA PLAYING AND THE PRINCE STANDING IN THE RING OVER STAMBOLI.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, A VIDEO CLIP CUTS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SHANE THOMPSON ATTACKING JORDAN ROCKWELL's UNCLE AND THE KIDNAPPING OF ROCKWELL LAST WEEK. THE CLIP ENDS WITH A HECKLING LAUGH AND THAT LEADS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE. "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AND THE ARENA IS SHOWN.

Michael Cole: "With Thanksgiving just two days away, we are very gracious to be part of your night tonight for TWF PrimeTime"!

Jesse Ventura: "we are in Cedar Rapids Michael and the fans here will be treated to a match of WrestleMania quality tonight".

A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO COMES UP. ON ONE SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS ROB VAN DAM AND ON THE OTHER IS BOTH BATISTA AND SABLE.

Cole: "Without question. Tonight, the former Universal champion Rob Van Dam and the animal Batista, two men who will be on opposite teams at King of the Ring, are gonna go one on one tonight"!

"DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA PLAYS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT ALONG WITH ORLANDO JORDAN.

Ventura: "In my opinion Michael, King of the Ring is shaping up to be the best pay-per-view in 2004".

Cole: "There is certainly a lot of heat going into the event and a lot of that is concerning Jordan Rockwell's status. No one's heard a word from him Jess"!

TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD IMMEDIATELY CHEERS WHEN HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH PAUL LONDON.

Ventura: "It's a very serious situation Michael, no doubt about that and we all know that those two men, Jordan and Irvin were partly responsible for his disappearance".

Cole: "Axl is scheduled to be part of Shane Thompson's team at King of the Ring but we don't even know if that match is gonna take place because we don't know what happened to Rockwell"!

Ventura: "Well I can tell you there's one man who knows exactly where he is and that's Thompson".

Cole: "It looks like we're gonna have Orlando Jordan and Paul London start this match off, I just hope we can all focus on this match".

Axl Irvin and Orlando Jordan vs. Tajiri and Paul London

Jordan and London circled around each other before locking up and it was Jordan who just threw him to the mat. But knowing he couldn't match strength with Orlando, London used a drop toehold as he charged in and dropkicked him in the back of the head. He then tagged in Tajiri and they each took a side, kicking at the body of OJ. But as Tajiri came off the ring ropes, Jordan got in a knee lft and then tagged in Axl. Axl was all over Tajiri, pounding him in the corner with some stomps to the chest. He then lifted him up and dropped him on the top turnbuckle with the snake eyes before running him down with a clothesline. OJ was tagged back in and he delivered a big elbow right to Tajiri's chest. Jordan then mocked Tajiri, acting like he was calling for the mist. But Tajiri took him down with a back footsweep and tagged in London. London went to the top rope and hit a standing moonsault on Jordan to get a very near fall. Axl tried to come into the ring but London caught him with a spinning heel kick and then he hit the ropes but Axl tripped him up. Jordan tagged Irvin back in and he was all over London. Tajiri came around the outside of the ring and he and Jordan went at it. Suddenly, Chris Tirpak and Chaos Wolf made their way down the aisle. Axl saw them and exchanged words with both of them. But London recovered and came from behind with a crucifix rollup to get the 1.....2.......3.

Match Time: 7:23

AXL GRABBED AT HIS HAIR IN SHOCK AS LONDON's MUSIC HIT.

Ventura: "What the hell was that?! They had these guys beat"!

Cole: "Give the assist to Chris Tirpak and Chaos Wolf and now Tirpak's got the mic"!

Chris Tirpak: "You two better go tell Shane Thompson that Jordan turns up tonight..... or else".

TIRPAK SLAMS THE MIC DOWN AND THE CROWD POPS AS "TNT" BY AC/DC PLAYS.

Cole: "A warning has been made. Produce the leader of the New Breed or suffer the consequences".

Ventura: "Well I don't think those two are in the position to be making demands Cole"!

Cole: "Well speaking of the New Breed......

ANOTHER PROMO GRAPHIC IS DISPLAYED WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE ON TOP AND THE KING OF THE RING LOGO. DYLAN JANSENS AND RHYNO ARE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CROWN.

we are gonna see Dylan Jansens and Rhyno sign the contract tonight to make their Universal title match for King of the Ring official! You don't wanna miss that"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

IDALIS IS STANDING WITH A.J. STYLES.

Idalis: "A.J., last week we saw you make your TWF debut but it was not the ending you had hoped for. Chavo Guerrero's error led to you being pinned and still.....

A.J. Styles: "And still these fans didn't see what I am capable of. It's a shame, I'm not a recognized name in this business because I've never been given the chance to shine. Well here on PrimeTime, the land of oppurtunity, that's exactly what Shane McMahon has done. And tonight, I have no partners to worry about. It's just me versus Guido and these fans are gonna find out why the people who have seen what I can do.... call me phenomenal".

STYLES WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR DR. PEPPER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR KING OF THE RING.

RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, GUIDO MARITATO IS IN THE RING AND THE FBI's MUSIC IS PLAYING.

Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime folks and are you ready for some excitement"?

"GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER" BY PAPA ROACH HITS AND AJ STYLES COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION. HE IS WEARING OUT A JACKET THAT HAS THE WORD "PHENOMENAL" ON THE BACK.

Ventura: "It seems to me that A.J. Styles feels disrespected somehow Cole".

Cole: "It's not so much disrespect as it is wanting to prove himself. This is a guy whose skills rival those of any wrestler in the world and a big thumbs up to Shane McMahon for bringing him here to PrimeTime so he can showcase those week in and week out! And nothing against Guido Maritato, but I can't wait to see what Styles can do here"!

Ventura: "Well this ain't gonna be an exhibition Cole! Guido is no slouch, he'll give Mr. Styles all he can handle"!

A.J. Styles vs. Guido Maritato

As soon as Styles got his jacket off, Guido was all over him with some hammer-like shots to the back of the head. He then shot him to the ropes and delivered a stiff clothesline before going to the middle turnbuckle and coming off with the Sicilian Slice. Guido thought he had a quick win, hooking the leg but Styles kicked out at 2. Guido pulled him up and shot him to the ropes again but Styles ducked this clothesline attempt and put a superkick right on the money followed by a standing moonsault for a near fall. He then shot Guido to the corner and followed in but the Italian was waiting with a back elbow to the chops. He then went to the top turnbuckle and flew off but Styles drilled him with an amazing dropkick to take him out of mid air. Guido rolled out of the ring to regroup. But Styles brought the house down with a reverse backflip right onto Guido. Chants of "AJ" broke out as he rolled Guido back in and picked him up in position for a piledriver. But he stepped in front of each of his arms to deliver the "Styles Clash", rolling him right over to get the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 6:04

Cole: "Oh what a win! I think we just witnessed the coming out party of one A.J. Styles"!

Ventura: "Two days from Thanksgiving, this guy's got a lot to be thankful for".

"GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER" PLAYED AGAIN AND STYLES HAD HIS HAND RAISED IN FRONT OF A STILL CHEERING CROWD.

Cole: "And so do we here on PrimeTime because this is truly one of the most exciting performers in the world today"!

CAMERAS IN THE BACK PICK UP SHANE McMAHON GETTING A CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE.

Shane McMahon: "This is McMahon. (pause as he let's out a sigh) Okay, well keep looking, we gotta figure out where the hell he is. Okay, bye".

Chaos Wolf: "So.......".

Shane: "The police still have no trace. We're gonna have to just wait till we here from Thompson guys. I'm sorry".

BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, ESSA RIOS IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING, SLAPPING HANDS WITH THE FANS.

Cole: "The situation seems to be growing grimmer Jesse, they've got to figure out where Thompson is".

Ventura: "Like McMahon said, we'll have to wait for him, that's all anyone can do".

A VOICE SPEAKING IN ARABIC IS HEARD OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND TIGER ALI SINGH COMES OUT WEARING A TURBAN AND A RED SUIT. BEHIND HIM IS NEWCOMER MUHAMMAD HASSAN.

Cole: "Well we don't know if that six man elimination will still take place at King of the Ring but we know this one will.....

A GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH THE KING OF THE RING LOGO. ON ONE SIDE IS HASSAN, SEAN O'HAIRE, HEIDENREICH AND SINGH AND ON THE OTHER IS RICK CLARK, ULTIMO DRAGON AND KID GUNDAM.

just signed today, Sean O'Haire and Heidenreich will team with the middle eastern superstar Muhammad Hassan to take on The Ultimo Dragon, Kid Gundam and Rick Clark"!

Ventura: "And that'll be a great match with the winners advancing to that all important battle royale later in the night but right here will be the in ring debut of Muhammad Hassan".

Cole: "This guy has complained that he has not been accepted as an Arab American but with that pompous Tiger Ali Singh guiding him, I don't see that getting any better".

Ventura: "Well let's just see what he can do in the ring before we pass any judgement.... how does that sound Cole"?!

Essa Rios vs. Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh

The two men locked up and Hassan impressively slung Rios to the mat and then trampled him with a clothesline. He then delivered a hard vertical suplex before sending him to the corner and following in with a back elbow. After 2 european uppercuts, he hit the ropes but Rios dropkicked him right in the mouth. Rios then grabbed his arm and ran up the ring ropes, flipping off and taking Hassan over as well. Rios then hit the ropes himself but Hassan laid down and let him go over him before kicking him in the stomach and delivering a hard gutwrench suplex. That led to a version of the Camel Clutch and Tiger raised his arms in the air as Rios tapped out.

Match Time: 2:27

Ventura: "Rios is tappin' out... this thing is over"!

Cole: "Shades of the old Iron Shiek with that Camel Clutch and it seems Tiger Ali Singh has found a real stud here".

Ventura: "These fans certainly should show a little more class Cole..... why boo him"?

Cole: "Well so far it's his attitude... that and his association with Tiger Ali Singh"!

Ventura: "Well I think fans of PrimeTime better get used to seeing these two cause I think they're gonna go far together".

HASSAN AND SINGH TAUNTED THE FANS AS THEY WALKED TO THE BACK TO A SHOWER OF BOOS. THE SHOT THEN FADED TO BLACK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR MR. GOODWRENCH IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR COMCAST DIGITAL CABLE.... FEATURING PARENTAL CONTROL.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE....

PRIMETIME RETURNS TO FIND IDALIS WITH THE TWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS STRIFE AND BAHAMUT.

Idalis: "Hey guys, a couple of questions, if you don't mind".

Bahamut: (looking her up and down) "Do we look like we mind"?

Idalis: "Okay, well last week, Shane McMahon granted you both a free pass into the battle royale at King of the Ring. Now we all know what you can do as a tag team, but in this battle royale, there are no friends, only foes".

Strife: "Look girl, Bah and I have thrown blows before and we ain't afraid to do it again. If he wins that battle royale, he better win the whole thing if ya know what I'm sayin'".

Idalis: "Now up next, Hirohito is gonna face Rob Conway one on one, members of two teams that are hot on your trail. Who would you like to see win that one"?

Bahamut: "Ya know what, the Locomotive and I could care less. When it comes to War on America and the Million Dollar Team..... we'll defend these belts against both of them..... at once"!

Idalis: "Oook..... Michael, back to you guys".

Ventura: "That's a bold statement".

Cole: "Yes but it is one that only they can make and as you see, Aries and Hirohito are both already in the ring here".

"MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYS AND TED DIBIASE COMES OUT WITH CONWAY AND NICK DINSMORE.

Ventura: "In my opinion, these two men should already be number one contenders. Not only are they the former champs, but they've also beaten War on America once".

Cole: "Former champs who never got a rematch as well. But War on America, as they've done with a lot of folks including you Jess, have made it personal with Strife and Bahamut and titles or no titles, they're gonna have to face them eventually"!

Hirohito w/ Aries vs. Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase and Nick Dinsmore

Even though this was one on one, two teams with a growing hatred for each other were all involved. Conway started with a few quick takedowns but Hirohito caught him with a thrust chop to the throat. After a few hard knifedges, he slammed him to the mat and hit a jumping kneedrop right across the nose. Conway squirmed in pain as Hirohito waited for him to get up and when he did, he kicked him right in the chest. Hirohito made the cover but Dinsmore was up at 2. Conway was then able to reverse an irish whip right into a stun gun manuever and he followed that up with a running clothesline. Aries then tried to get involved but Dinsmore came around and the 2 began to exchange shots. Hirohito had taken back over after a double arm DDT but referee Mike Enos had become distracted by the brawl on the floor. Dibiase then rolled a pair of brass knucks right to Conway and when Hirohito pulled him up, he cold cocked him. Hirohito hit the mat like a ton of bricks and Conway tucked the foreign object into his trunks before rolling on top of Hirohito. Enos then turned to make the 3 count.

Match Time: 9:22

Ventura: (laughing) "That was a thing of beauty Cole"!

Cole: "Well that shows you how popular Aries and Hirohito have become. We've got some of these fans actually cheering for Conway and Dinsmore"!

DIBIASE LEFT RAISING THE ARMS OF BOTH HIS MEN AS ARIES LOOKED ON WITH A BLANK STARE FROM UNDERNEATH HIS MASK.

Ventura: "And they have good reason to cheer. This is the most complete team here in the TWF Michael. Strife and Bahamut, you better be focusing on them, not winning that battle royale"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.....

THE PRINCE IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE ARENA, ABOUT TO LEAVE AS HE PUFFS AWAY ON A CIGARETTE. SUDDENLY, NAILS COME UP.

Nails: "Didn't you see the no smoking sign? Or can you not read"?

The Prince: "Oh I saw it. But do I look like someone to follow rules? Now, you better get out of my face".

Nails: "Or you'll what? Put your cigarette out on me? Trust me kid, I've got many ways to put out fires".

NAILS HOLDS UP HIS TRADEMARK FIRE POKER.

Prince: "Is that the best you can do"?

PRINCE LAUGHS FOR A SECOND BEFORE ASHING HIS CIGARETTE ON THE FLOOR AND THEN PUSHING A DOOR OPEN TO LEAVE THE ARENA.

BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, "NEVER GONNA STOP", BY ROB ZOMBIE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT WITH CHAVO GUERRERO TO A VERY BIG POP. EDGE HAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AND CHAVO THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT, BOTH AROUND THEIR WAIST.

Ventura: "Wow, that kid's lucky he didn't eat that fire poker".

Cole: "Well we touched on the King of the Ring battle royale earlier tonight and four of the men that have been granted passes into it will take part in this match".

"HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND NAILS COMES OUT WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. THE FANS ARE ALL OVER HIM.

Ventura: "I have a feeling that this guy is gonna take his frustration over that jerk The Prince out on Edge and Chavo here".

Cole: "Well The Prince isn't in that battle royale so he better focus on two of the men who are.... Edge and Chavo"!

RENE DUPREE's MUSIC HITS AND AN ONSLAUGHT OF BOOS FILLS THE ARENA AS HE COMES OUT WITH DAWN MARIE WHOSE ATTIRE IS THE COLORS OF THE FRENCH FLAG.

Ventura: "And the reason he's not in it is because of this man.... the rejuvenated Rene Dupree! Has this guy lost a match since acquiring the services of Dawn"?

Cole: "Dawn Marie has certainly providing an asset, yes there is an e-t at the end of that and Dupree will be the wild card in that battle royale".

Ventura: "I don't think either one of these teams is gonna work very well together Michael, they're all too different"!

Edge and Chavo Guerrero vs. Nails and Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie

Edge and Nails started things off with a lockup but Nails backed him to the corner quickly. Referee Brian Hebner stepped in and asked for a break. Nails took it as a chance for a cheap shot but Edge blocked the right hand and popped off two of his own before whipping Nails to the ropes for a big backbody drop. Chavo was tagged in and he came in from the apron with a flying cross body block to get a 2 count on Nails. As Nails was getting up, Chavo hit the ropes but as he ran back, Nails punched him right in the midsection and hit a jumping DDT. Dupree was tagged in and he laid into the Lightheavyweight champ with some hard forearm drops. Dupree and Nails then exchanged tags and took turns wearing Chavo out. With both men in the ring, they whipped Chavo to the ropes but he came back with a double flying clothesline. He then shot Dupree to the ropes for a great dropkick before tagging Edge back in. Edge tossed Nails over the top rope, indicating to the fans that if this were the battle royale, he'd be out. Edge then moved to Dupree but got a thumb to the eye as Nails pulled Chavo off the apron. Dupree then shot Edge into the air with a backbody drop before calling for the "Frenchman Drop" but Edge was able to counter by slipping off his shoulders and hitting the ropes. When Dupree turned back around.... BOOM, he was hit with the spear and pinned 1.....2......3.

Match Time: 6:23

Cole: "Oh what a spear! You can count to a hundred"!

Ventura: "Hey, I've heard that before. But keep in mind Cole, there's gonna be a lot more competition at King of the Ring".

EDGE AND CHAVO SHOOK HANDS AS "NEVER GONNA STOP" PLAYED. DUPREE AND DAWN LEFT WITH SOUR LOOKS ON THEIR FACES AND NAILS WAS ALREADY GONE.

Cole: "It's gonna be the six men who got Shane's free pass and all the survivors of the three on three elimination matches in that all important battle royale"!

BACKSTAGE.....

DYLAN JANSENS IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN A CELL PHONE RINGS. HE ANSWERS IT.

Dylan Jansens: "Hello..... oh hey Lita, yeah, I've got his phone. I haven't heard anything from Jordan tonight and neither has anyone else. But if I do, I'll be sure to let you know... okay, bye".

JANSENS HANGS UP AND TAKES A DEEP BREATH.

Cole: "It's a roller coaster night for the New Breed. The Universal title match contract signing is next but Jordan Rockwell is still MIA.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR DIRECTV IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR CRESTOR.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS IN THE RING THAT CONTAINS A TABLE AND A RED CARPET OVER THE MAT. IN HIS HAND IS A CLIPBOARD THAT HAS THE KING OF THE RING LOGO ON A PIECE OF PAPER.

Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and Jesse, it's about to be official".

Ventura: "I'm glad they held this contract signing in the public cause I look at this as one of the real interesting title matches in a long time".

Shane McMahon: "As you all know, the King of the Ring is sold out.

THE CROWD CHEERS.

And one of the main reasons why is because of the main event on the PrimeTime side of things! So without further adieu, let's introduce the two men who will go at it for the Universal title! First, the challenger..... Dylan Jansens"!

"OVER MY HEAD" PLAYS AND OUT COMES JANSENS TO A MOMENTOUS CHEER.

Cole: "Originally born in France, this man has been through some serious life issues since moving to America, one being the tremendous loss of life when his fiancee Ashley died in a motorcycle accident and we all know how hard DJ has worked for this Jesse and you can't help but think that she is part of that".

Ventura: "Well without getting too emotional and too dramatic, I'm gonna agree with that statement".

Shane: "And now, from the Motor City.... he is the TWF Universal champion..... Rhyno"!

RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, BEATING HIS CHEST AS THE TITLE BELT GLEAMS OFF HIS WAIST.

Cole: "And the man who was once known as the rookie monster in ECW, Rhyno has been one tough customer for years here in the TWF".

Ventura: "Rhyno has always been one of my favorite talents on our roster. I love his intensity and I love his drive and I'll tell ya Michael, it's gonna take a Herculean effort to get that belt away from him".

Shane: "Okay guys, it's real simple. This isn't a twenty two page contract. All it says is DJ you will challenge the manbeast for the Universal title at King of the Ring. All I need is a signature from each of you".

SHANE SETS THE CLIPBOARD DOWN BY RHYNO AND HE SIGNS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CONTRACT, HIS EYES FIXATED ON JANSENS. JANSENS PULLS IT OVER AND SIGNS AS WELL. SHANE THEN GRABS THE CLIPBAORD BACK.

Shane: "Okay.... it's official! Here you have........

JUST THEN, CHARLIE HAAS COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE.

Charlie Haas: "Hold on a minute"!

Cole: "What the"?

Haas: "You have to be kidding me McMahon. You always tout yourself as the boy wonder and a young genius..... but this is far from that! You actually think this match is gonna draw? I mean, Dylan Jansens is as deserving of a Universal title shot as Boy George!

HAAS STEPS INTO THE RING.

I mean, I've seen some bad main events, but this will easily go down as the worst in TWF history"!

RHYNO SEEMS TO TAKE EXCEPTION TO THAT COMMENT AND HE RUNS HAAS OVER WITH THE "GORE" TO A HUGE CHEER.

Ventura: "Oh my gosh"!

Cole: "I've been waitin' for that"!

BUT WHEN RHYNO GETS UP AND TURNS AROUND, JANSENS BLASTS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK THAT CATCHES HIM RIGHT ON THE CHIN. JANSENS THEN PICKS UP THE UNIVERSAL TITLE WITH 2 HANDS AND LOOKS INTO IT, HIS EYES FULL OF ENVY AND PRIDE.

Ventura: "Put that down! It's not yours"!

Cole: "Oh my...... has Rhyno awoke the dragon"?

BACKSTAGE.....

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, ARN ANDERSON RUSHES UP TO FELLOW AGENTS PAUL ORNDORFF AND PAUL ROMA.

Arn Anderson: "Okay, I just got off the phone with Shane Thompson"!

Paul Roma: "And"?

Anderson: "Any minute, he and his personal cameraman are gonna have a special update".

Paul Orndorff: "Special update? Who's gonna announce it, Dan Rather"?

Anderson: "Hey... it's all we got right now.... we just gotta hang tight".

BATISTA's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE WALKS OUT WITH SABLE TO A MIXED REACTION.

Cole: "What?! Hang tight"?

Ventura: "Well what do you expect them to do Michael"?

Cole: "I just can't believe the authorities aren't involved in this. And what's this personal cameraman stuff"?

Ventura: "You'd have to ask Shane Thompson but I doubt he'd say much to you! So let's just do our job and call the main event"!

"ONE OF A KIND" COMES ON AND PYRO GOES OFF TO BRING ROB VAN DAM OUT TO A BIG CHEER.

Cole: "And this is gonna be a beauty. Two men who are on opposing sides at King of the Ring and I could see either one of these guys actually becoming King of the Ring".

Ventura: "Well we all know RVD is the former Universal champion but I think Batista would be a great pick if you're a betting man".

Batista w/ Sable vs. Rob Van Dam

This was an excellent match to end the show and it could've gone either way. Batista used a power set of moves to try and dibiliate RVD but he couldn't do it as RVD kept getting up. Batista went for a wild clothesline that probably would've knocked him out but RVD ducked and caught him with a spin kick to the jaw. After a few quick shots to the midsection, RVD hit another spin kick that knocked him to the mat. That led to the Rolling Thunder and a 1........2........, but Batista was up. RVD kept it coming until Sable got on the apron. RVD went and grabbed her by the hair but the momentary distraction allowed Batista to get up and RVD turned right into a sick spinebuster. But instead of covering him, Batista went for a running elbow drop and was way off the mark. The nimble RVD then hopped up onto the top rope and came off with a martial arts kick to the collarbone. RVD then immediately got on one of the other turnbuckles and pointed his thumbs to his shoulders right at Sable before coming off with the "5 Star Frogsplash" to get the 1........2.........3.

Match Time: 8:18

"ONE OF A KIND" HIT AND RVD GOT HIS HAND RAISED BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING, RIC FLAIR AND MIKE AUSTIN WERE ALL OVER HIM. BUT MOMENTS LATER, RANDY ORTON AND REY MYSTERIO CAME OUT AND HELPED RVD CLEAR THE RING AS THE CROWD WENT WILD.

Cole: "Oh yeah! Orton's team stands tall! Was it still a mistake to leave the group for Orton"?

Ventura: "It sure was and at King of the Ring, he's gonna find out how big a mistake it was"!

Cole: "King of the Ring is live on pay-per-view and believe me when I say this folks, you're gonna miss the most exciting event this year if you don't order it"!

BEFORE PRIMETIME GOES OFF THE AIR, A DARK OPEN FIELD IS SHOWN. THE WIND IS BLOWING AND SHANE THOMPSON APPEARS NEXT TO A BOUND AND GAGGED JORDAN ROCKWELL.

Shane Thompson: "Yes.... he's still alive. All you Mr. Showtime fans can breathe easy. At least until King of the Ring. For that is where I will personally do what I've wanted to do since I came to the TWF and that's destroy his career. You see, the embarrassment he's suffering now is nothing compared to what he will suffer soon.

THOMPSON KNEELS DOWN NEAR ROCKWELL AS A HELICOPTER LANDS IN THE FIELD.

See that chopper? I've arranged for someone to personally fly you to Houston and that's the next time you'll see me, in the ring. But before you go, I want to leave you with a few thoughts. I've heard you whine and bitch about your drug problem. I've watched the trials and tribulations of you being in the middle of all these catfights. Trust me you stinking piece of sh*t, at King of the Ring, you're gonna be begging for those problems, you're gonna be begging to return to that life. But you know what I do to beggers? I spit in their face! But I'm not gonna do that tonight. After I defeat you one, two, three..... that's when it'll happen. I will do it at your lowest moment. But the part I will savor most is being able to look on this years from now as the night you were exposed, the night everyone saw what you truly are Rockwell. Nothing but a slimeball who's created his own fame..... talked himself up..... it's too bad no one else will ever believe it. Get him out of my face".

THE CAMERA SHUTS OFF AS PRIMETIME COMES T A SHOCKING END.

OFF AIR......
