February 15, 2005
The first ever trip for the TWF to Hawaii had many rewards as the fans came out in droves to catch the action. Uprising was filled with a full slate-4 matches to get the night started. Akio vs. Sychotic Knowing Sychotic banged himself up in their tag team match last week, Akio went to his lower back, looking to win it quickly. But Sychotic fought through it and caught him with a version of sliced bread #2 before hitting his 630 finisher for the victory, an absolutely amazing move. Rick Clark vs. A.J. Styles Clark pounded on the smaller Styles, getting very aggressive in his attack. But when he whipped Styles to the corner, Styles slung over him and got onto his shoulders, taking it into a victory roll for the 1.....2......3. Rey Mysterio vs. Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie The quicker Mysterio actually took the fight to Dupree for most of the match but he missed with the 6-1-9 and Dupree lifted him up for his finisher. Mysterio countered and went for a victory roll but Dupree sat down on him and grabbed a hand full of his pants to get the cheap 3 count. Rob Van Dam and Randy Orton vs. Charlie Haas and Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase Conway and Haas were clicking on all cylinders again, looking to go 2-0 as a tag team. But RVD ended a period in which he and Orton were being dominated by catching Haas with a spinning jump kick. He tagged in Orton who took out Conway and went for the "RKO". Haas countered by pushing him to the ropes but Orton came off and was able to avoid a clothesline and use a backslide to pin Haas. RVD AND ORTON LEFT TO A HUGE CHEER AS DIBIASE WAS ANGERED BY HIS TEAM's DEFEAT.
PRIMETIME GOES LIVE ON FOX SHOWING THE SUNNY TROPICAL ISLAND OF HAWAII OUTSIDE ALOHA STADIUM WITH HULA DANCERS IN FRONT OF THE BIG VENUE. THE SHOT GOES INSIDE TO THE PRIMETIME BROADCAST POSITION. Michael Cole: "Hello everybody and welcome to a very special edition of TWF PrimeTime as we are live from Aloha stadium in Hawaii, our first ever live broadcast from this great area"! Jesse Ventura: "I feel like we're at the Super Bowl Michael, there are nearly forty thousand people in this place"! EDGE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A DEAFENING POP. WITH HIM IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS HIS NEWLY WON HARDCORE TITLE BELT. Cole: "And they've been here all day. When tickets went on sale for this show, they were gone in under one hour Jesse and I think we could've fit even more people in here to be honest"! Ventura: "Aloha stadium is huge Michael and aloha might be what Edge is saying to that Hardcore title when this thing is over with"! THE MUSIC OF HIROHITO HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A FIERCE LOOK IN HIS EYES AND IS IMMEDIATELY BOOED. Cole: "These Hawaiian fans are all very passionate and have a vast knowledge of the TWF. They're showing Hirohito exactly what they think of him". Ventura: "Even though it was the fiftieth of the fifty states, it is still part of America and we all know what Hirohito thinks of America". Cole: "Along with Aries, he declared war on all Americans some time ago now but this is gonna be a war no matter how you look at it". TWF Hardcore Title Match Challenger: Hirohito vs. Edge Hirohito decided to face Edge on the wrong night. Edge is becoming very acclimated to the world of hardcore wrestling and he just took it to Hirohito. The little offense Hirohito got off came in the early stages of the match because after the Edge-o-matic, Edge got a steel chair and smashed Hirohito over the head. He then went to the top rope and cradled the chair under his right arm, flying off with an elbow drop that drove the chair into the face of Hirohito. He was bleeding and may've had a broken nose as Edge covered him for the 1......2........3. Match Time: 2:47 BACKSTAGE AREA..... BATISTA GETS IN MIKE AUSTIN's FACE ABOUT COSTING HIM HIS MATCH LAST WEEK BUT RIC FLAIR QUICKLY GETS IN BETWEEN THEM AND TELLS THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR TAG TEAM MATCH LATER TONIGHT. PROMO GRAPHICS PREVIEW JORDAN ROCKWELL VS. JASON TIGER OLIVER AND SHANE THOMPSON VS. CHAVO GUERRERO FOR LATER TONIGHT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... Sean O'Haire and Heidenreich vs. Chris Tirpak and Chaos Wolf O'Haire and Heidenreich came out wearing the old New Breed t-shirts but Chaos Wolf and Tirpak, members of the current Breed, were primed and ready for this one. There was never really any semblance of a tag team match as Tirpak and Wolf came at O'Haire and Heidenreich full force. After combining to take Heidenreich out of the ring, they turned their attention to the Intercontinental champion. Referee Brian Hebner finally stepped in and forced Wolf to his corner and as he did, he went for a big boot while O'Haire held Tirpak up. But when Tirpak moved, the boot smashed O'Haire and Tirpak pulled him in for the "New Jersey Turnpike". Wolf then prevented Heidenreich from making the save and Tirpak got the pin on O'Haire. But the post-match celebration didn't last long as O'Haire and Heidenreich attacked them, choking them with the New Breed shirts they wore to the ring which forced a couple agents to come out and stop them. Match Time: 3:04 BACKSTAGE..... NAILS COMES OUT TO ORLANDO JORDAN AND GOES RIGHT AT HIM, APPARENTLY BLAMING HIM FOR LOSING THE HARDCORE TITLE TO EDGE LAST WEEK. CAMERAS FOLLOW THE BRAWL AND THEY ALSO CATCH ONE IN ANOTHER AREA BETWEEN ROME AND RHYNO WHICH OFFICIALS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO STOP. AXL IRVIN TRIES TO HELP JORDAN BUT NAILS PULLS OUT A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES AND DROPS BOTH OF THEM WITH IT BEFORE WALKING AWAY. Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh vs. Kid Gundam In a Royal Rumble rematch, these two had a match that was every bit as good as the one from that event as it featured a total of 11 two counts. After Hassan walked into a stifling savat kick, it appeared Gundam had it wrapped up. But at the last possible second, he kicked out. Gundam pulled him up and shot him to the corner but Hassan moved and rolled him up. With one hand he grabbed a handful of Gundam's tights and with the other, he grabbed the hand of Singh for even more leverage as a 3 count was registered. Match Time: 14:25 COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... DYLAN JANSENS IS BESIDE HIMSELF AS SHANE McMAHON GOES OVER HIS CONTRACT FROM THE ROYAL RUMBLE, POINTING OUT THE FACT THAT HE HAD NO REMATCH CLAUSE IN IT. Luther Reigns vs. Bahamut This was a face off between two of the toughest men in the TWF as the Demon of the Desert took on one half of the TWF tag team champions. Bahamut took a lot of punishment from Reigns who hit him with punches, kicks, backhand blows and headbutts. After an inverted gutwrench suplex, he went for the cover but Bahamut escaped at the count of 2. Luther measured him as he waited for him to get up, then went for a front kick. But Bahamut grabbed his foot and turned it into an STO before hitting the ring ropes for "What Legends are made of", a move that still catches a huge cheer from the crowd and it led to the 1.......2......3. Match Time: 10:19 BACKSTAGE..... A DETERMINED JASON TIGER OLIVER IS SHOWN WALKING TO THE RING WHEN HE IS STOPPED BY HEIDENREICH WHO TELLS HIM TO SHOW JORDAN ROCKWELL "WHAT THE NEW BREED IS ALL ABOUT" FOLLOWED BY TELLING HIM THAT "THIS FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN". TWF RE-WIND SHOWS HOW JASON TIGER OLIVER DEFEATED CHAOS WOLF LAST WEEK TO EARN THIS MATCH. Jason Tiger Oliver vs. Jordan Rockwell Rockwell seemed to think he was gonna make quick work of Oliver, going for the Scarlet Fever right away. But when he escaped, Oliver showed him he had other ideas. After catching "the franchise" with a high elbow, he ran over him with a big clothesline that opened a floodgate of offense. For the next 5-6 minutes, Oliver beat Rockwell down, taunting him and the fans and at one point saying "How do you like this punk now"? But 1 mistake cost him. After catching Rockwell coming off an irish whip with a perfect powerslam, he went to the top rope rather than going for a cover. He flew off with an axe handle attack but Rockwell caught him in position for the Rock Smasher and picked him up in it, dropping the rookie on his back and head hard. Rockwell then covered him and hooked the far leg to get the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 9:17 ROCKWELL STOOD OVER OLIVER, LOOKING DOWN WITH A COLD STARE AS "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC PLAYED. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... TWF RE-WIND SHOWS MIKE AUSTIN ACCIDENTALLY HITTING BATISTA TO HELP COST HIM HIS MATCH AGAINST STRIFE LAST WEEK. Batista and Mike Austin w/ Ric Flair vs. Tajiri ad Ultimo Dragon Tajiri and Ultimo took advantage of a team not on the same page with a blitzing attack. After Tajiri knocked Austin off the apron with a stiff kick to the face, Ultimo used a somersault plancha to take him out. Tajiri then went for a hurracanrana on Batista but the animal showed him that that was a huge mistake, driving him into the mat with the "Batista Bomb" to get the easy 3 count. Match Time: 6:52 AFTER THE MATCH, A JUBILANT FLAIR BROUGHT HIS MEN TOGETHER. RAMPAGE REPLAY FROM THIS PAST TUESDAY NIGHT........ TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES TO THE RING AND ANNOUNCES THAT HE HAS SIGNED A SHORT TERM CONTRACT WITH RAMPAGE IN ORDER TO FACE THE UNDERTAKER AT WRESTLEMANIA 6. CITING THEIR STORIED PAST, WAKEMAN SAYS HE WANTS WM6 TO BE THEIR FINAL CHAPTER, SO A BURIED ALIVE MATCH, A TWF FIRST, HAS BEEN SIGNED. HE SAYS THAT AFTER WRESTLEMANIA, THE SHOW HE GOES TO PERMANENTLY WILL BE DECIDED IN THE LOTTERY THAT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR RIGHT AFTER WRESTLEMANIA. BUT HE IS CUT OFF BY THE LIGHTS TURNING OFF AND A BELL TOLLS 3 TIMES AS A FOG SETS INSIDE THE RING. WITH A PROMO GRAPHIC DISPLAYING THE MATCH, MICHAEL COLE ANNOUNCES THAT NEXT WEEK ON MAIN EVENT, CHARLIE HAAS WILL FACE RANDY ORTON AND THE WINNER WILL BECOME THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER FOR THE UNIVERSAL TITLE. Non-Title Match/Champion vs. Champion Lightheavyweight Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. Universal champion Shane Thompson This champion versus champion match provided for one of the better pure contests 2005 has had to this point. Knowing the lightheavyweight division from competing in it for the first part of his career, Thompson went move for move with Chavo. But when he put his head down too soon off an irish whip, Chavo drove his face into the mat and then dropkicked him out of the ring when he got to his feet. Chavo then bounced off the ropes and went for a suicide dive but Thompson moved out of the way. Chavo went head first into the barricade that blocked the fans and Thompson rolled him into the ring. From the apron, Thompson came in with a flip over legdrop that was on the money but his nonchalant cover only netted a 2 count. Thompson shot Chavo to the ropes and missed with a clothesline. Chavo came off the other side and avoided a backswing as well before sticking Thompson with a DDT. The Hawaiian fans came to their feet as Chavo picked Thompson up for the "Gory Bomb". But Thompson used a Houdini-like escape by wiggling out of the hold and then doubling Chavo over with a spin kick to the gut. He quickly capitalized with the debilitating "Total Eclipse" and rolled atop Chavo to get the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 8:58 "READY TO DIE" BY HED HIT AS THOMPSON GOT ON ONE OF THE TURNBUCKLES AND HELD HIS TITLE UP PROUDLY AS THE HAWAIIAN CROWD BOOED. THOMPSON THEN POINTED TO THE WRESTLEMANIA 6 LOGO SIGN THAT HUNG HIGH ABOVE THE RING AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. OFF AIR........
