Young folks on spring break hit the beaches of Daytona at the same time PrimeTime did, providing for a much more wild atmosphere than they anticipated. Uprising was first on the slate, loaded with 3 matches. Rome vs. Buck Quartermain (invitee) Some scouts believe Quartermain has a tremendous upside but he hardly phased Rome, who was hellbent on a statement match. After bullying the youngster around for a little over 4 minutes, Rome hit the "Ragnoreck Powerbomb" for the academic 3 count. A.J. Styles vs. Essa Rios Two of the world's best lightheavyweights hooked up in this one and they showed a tremendous amount of respect for each other's abilities. Rios hit his flip over suicide dive, leaping over the turnpost and everything and that looked to be the beginning of the end. But Styles was able to block a hurracanrana attempt and negotiate Rios into position for the "Styles Clash", hitting it and rolling him over for the victory. Hirohito vs. Tajiri An all Japanese match made for a tremendous Uprising feature bout. Tajiri struggled with the bigger, more powerful Hirohito but he was able to avoid the face palm slam. After Hirohito missed a charge in the corner, Tajiri struck him with a back kick to the midsection before using a gorgeous springboard sunset flip to score a huge victory for himself. TAJIRI CELEBRATED WITH THE CROWD WHICH WAS STARTING TO FILL AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR ON FOX, THE SHOT GOES STRAIGHT INTO THE MONTAGE VIDEO AND "RAP SUPERSTAR", THE HIT BY CYPRESS HILL STARTS UP, SENDING THINGS INSIDE THE NOISY OCEAN CENTER. THE CAMERA SHOWS A STEEL CAGE SUSPENDED ABOVE THE RING. Michael Cole: "It is spring break and we are in the spring break hot spot, Daytona Beach, live for PrimeTime"! Jesse Ventura: "This crowd is rabid Michael and rightly so, what a show we have in store tonight"! "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" IS HEARD, LEADING INTO EDGE's THEME SONG AND HE TROTS OUT TO ONE HELL OF AN OVATION WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "And we're starting with the Hardcore champion! It was last week on Uprising that Edge suffered an attack at the hands of Orlando Jordan following a victory and we all know that Jordan is the dirty deed man for Axl Irvin". Ventura: "What do you mean dirty deed man? OJ dislikes Edge as much as Axl does Cole". ORLANDO JORDAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A ROUND OF BOOS. Cole: "Hardcore rules do not exist in this match but you can bet that Edge is ready to take out some aggression". Ventura: "And you can bet Axl Irvin is keeping an eye on this one". Non-Title Orlando Jordan vs. Hardcore champ Edge The bell sounded and Jordan went right into an arm drag by Edge. But he was able to work his way to his feet and drop down, sweeping Edge's legs out. Jordan's athletic ability then opened the door for the upset. He hit a standing dropkick on Edge and then pulled him up, shooting him to the ropes for a big powerslam. Referee Mike Enos moved into position to make the count but Edge was up easily. After a scoop slam, OJ went to the top rope and flew off with a textbook cross body but Edge rolled through it to nearly steal a victory. Jordan got to his feet and smashed Edge with a right hand. He then went for an irish whip and leapfrogged Edge but Edge hit the ropes on the other side and drilled him with the spear. Edge then let out an adrenaline filled scream before pulling Jordan up and dropping him with the "Edge-a-cution" to get the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 6:25 Edge: "Put it in the books! Another victory for Edge"! JUST THEN, AXL IRVIN CAME OUT WITH TRACI BROOKS AND SHE KICKED EDGE IN THE GROIN FROM BEHIND AS AXL PULLED A LADDER OUT FROM UNDER THE RING. Ventura: "That'll wipe the smile off his face"! Cole: "Wait a minute! What the hell is Axl doing"?! WITH THE LADDER OVER HIS SHOULDER, AXL CAME IN AND DROVE THE TOP OF THE LADDER INTO THE FACE OF EDGE! Ventura: "Oh what a shot! He might've rearranged that pretty face of Edge there". Cole: "Oh no, someone stop this! AXL THEN PULLED OUT A 2 x 4 WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE. LUCKILY FOR EDGE, HE SAW THE SHOT COMING AND HE ROLLED OUT OF THE RING. AFTER GRABBING HIS TITLE, EDGE STUMBLED AWAY, HIS FACE CUT OPEN FROM THE LADDER. IN THE RING, AXL RAISED THE 2 x 4 AS ORLANDO AND TRACI LOOKED ON WITH SMILES ON THEIR FACES. Cole: This situation has gone too far! Axl and Edge need to solve this and I for one think they need to do so soon"! Ventura: "Axl has gotten into the head of Edge and now he's busted his head open! I say advantage Axl"! A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH CHAOS WOLF AND JASON TIGER OLIVER BEHIND THE MESH FENCE OF THE STEEL CAGE. Cole: "Well still to come tonight, round two of the New Breed Challenge as two bitter rivals, Chaos Wolf and Jason Tiger Oliver step into the confines of a steel cage"! PARKING LOT..... CAMERAS IN THE DARK PARKING LOT SHOW RIC FLAIR AND MIKE AUSTIN. Ric Flair: "I can't believe it Mike, you really weren't kidding". Mike Austin: "Now just tell Batista so he gets off my back". FLAIR AND AUSTIN ENTER THE ARENA AS THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT. THE CROWD ERUPTS AS A BLACK PICKUP IS SHOWN WITH A SKULL ON IT WITH 3:16 INSIDE. Cole: "Oh boy.... we know what this means! You don't wanna go away folks"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CINGULAR IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 6 WHICH PREVIEWS THE INTERDIVISIONAL TAG TEAM MATCH BETWEEN JAMAL AND ROSEY TAKING ON STRIFE AND BAHAMUT. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, TED DIBIASE IS WATCHING THE PREVIEW WITH ROB CONWAY AND CHARLIE HAAS. Ted Dibiase: "Strife and Bahamut won't even make it to Mania if we have anything to say about it. DIBIASE PULLS A WAD OF CASH OUT OF HIS POCKET. Can you smell this boys? Go and take those two out tonight and it's yours". Charlie Haas: "Oh don't worry, we got it under control. They'll be begging to face Jamal and Rosey after we get done with them". THE CAMERA JUST MOVES DOWN THE HALLWAY AND SHOWS LUTHER REIGNS TALKING WITH RENE DUPREE AND DAWN MARIE. SHANE THOMPSON IS SHOWN WALKING UP FROM BEHIND. Shane Thompson: "Hey Luther, can I talk to you? Alone....... DUPREE AND DAWN MARIE WALK AWAY. Luther Reigns: "What do you need Shane"? Thompson: "Well, since you were once someone who I could count on to watch my back, I was wondering if you'd like to take care of my Dylan Jansens problem. Ya know, just soften him up a bit for me". Reigns: "For what? Nothing? What am I getting out of it". THOMPSON WHIPS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE BELT OVER HIS SHOULDER. Thompson: "Trust me... it'll be worth your while. Just make sure you save some for me". REIGNS LAUGHS A LITTLE AND WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE. "619" IS PLAYING AND REY MYSTERIO HAS COME OUT TO ROUND OUT THE PARTICIPANTS FOR A 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH AND HE IS SLAPPING HANDS WITH EVERYONE AT RINGSIDE. Cole: "Well let's hope Dylan Jansens is watching back because it seems he's gonna have a problem in the form of Luther Reigns". Ventura: "If Luther gets a hold of him Michael, he might not even be at WrestleMania". Cole: "Well one thing we can confirm will take place at WrestleMania will be a Lightheavyweight invitational. Shane McMahon has accepted Sychotic's proposal and we understand that it is going to include several superstars"! Ventura: "It's a perfect oppurtunity for the TWF to showcase the greatest group of lightheavyweights in the world today, on the grandest stage of them all"! 6 man tag Rey Mysterio, Sychotic and Paul London vs. Chavo Guerrero, Akio and Sakoda Sakoda, the heaviest man in the match, started things off with Paul London. London had a tough time with his physical style, falling into an early hole. Sakoda lifted him up for a suplex but London slung over him and then took out Chavo with a back elbow. Sakoda threw a clothesline but London ducked and hit his impressive dropsault before tagging in Sychotic. Sychotic was all over Sakoda but he missed an attack off the top rope and Sakoda made the tag to Akio who came in with his main rival of late, Sychotic. The two began to trade knifedge chops and it was Akio who got the best of him, reddening the chest of Sychotic after ripping his shirt off. He backed up and went for a flying calf kick in the corner but Sychotic caught him and dumped him with a spinning backdrop suplex. He then made the tag to Rey who came in and hit the ropes, leading to Sychotic launching him into the air and Rey came down with a big legdrop. He hooked the legs but Chavo was in to stop the 3 count. Sychotic came back in and took Chavo down with a spinning heel kick but Akio and Sakoda got into the ring. Rey used a drop toehold on Sakoda as Sychotic lifted Akio over the top rope with a backbody drop. Rey made the tag to London and then got wound up for the 6-1-9. But Rey smashed him in the back and tossed him out of the ring. Sakoda went outside to help Akio on Rey but Sychotic jumped from the top rope to the floor with a corkscrew attack, taking all 3 of them out! His feet smashed the barricade before he landed and the crowd was in awe. In the ring, London avoided a clothesline and hit an inverted atomic drop on Chavo. He then threw a kick but Chavo caught his foot and avoided an enziguri attempt. That was the opening the Lightheavyweight champ needed and Chavo locked in the STF to force London into a submission. Match Time: 6:32 Ventura: "And that's why Chavo is the best of the best Michael, he finds a way to win"! "OOOOH CHAVO" IS HEARD AND HIS MUSIC PLAYS AS REFEREE BRIAN HEBNER HANDS HIM HIS LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AND HE TAUNTS THE CROWD FROM THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE. Cole: "Well he'll be in there with the best of the best at WrestleMania in that Lightheavyweight invitational and the title will be on the line"! Ventura: "Well I can't wait and I'm sure Chavo can't either". RAMPAGE REPLAY Drew Blood: "Cena...you have been told to leave. There is a contract with your name on it that will allow you to not only wrestle for the Universal title at WrestleMania, but to make a lot of money on PrimeTime. What are you doing here"? Cena: "What am I doing here? Last time I checked, I was a Rampage superstar! And last time I checked, I won the 2005 Royal Rumble, allowing me to choose the title I wanted to fight for at WrestleMania! And I choose you"! J.R.: "There it is! He has chosen to...... Blood: "I warn you Cena, you don't want to do that. Not only your career, but your livelihood will be at stake if you make that choice. I will hold nothing back and I will make you suffer the consequences! Do you have a change of heart"? Cena: "Let me put it to you one more time Bram Stoker, I don't care if you have those two freaks of the Lochness monster backing you up..... I will be at WrestleMania to face you for the World title and I'm gonna take that preverbial stake and drive it straight through your damn heart"! THE ACTION RETURNS LIVE TO SHOW NICK DINSMORE ON HIS WAY TO THE RING TO A POSITIVE REACTION. Cole: "The main event for Rampage has been decided as you just saw in that replay and I can't remember a WrestleMania that was bigger than this one is shaping up to be Jesse". Ventura: "I have seen them all Michael and I gotta agree, the card is gonna be stellar this year". RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION, POUNDING HIS CHEST A COUPLE TIMES. Cole: "Rhyno is set to take on Nick Dinsmore here and the former Universal champion will be a very stiff challenge for Dinsmore Jesse". Ventura: "Rhyno is on a collision course with Rome and Rome if you're watching this match, this could be you". Cole: "Well don't count Dinsmore out either. He's as talented a wrestler as we have here on PrimeTime and he might be able to slow Rhyno down with his mat skills". Rhyno vs. Nick Dinsmore From a vertical position, Dinsmore was able to use his wrestling skills to take Rhyno to the mat, something he did 3 times. But he couldn't keep him there. Rhyno was able to escape a side headlock with a backdrop suplex. He then tried to pull him up but Dinsmore secured his right arm and fell to the mat with it, pulling Rhyno's arm very awkwardly. Before tapping out, Rhyno was able to move to the bottom ring rope with one of his legs and get the break. Dinsmore released the hold and pulled Rhyno up, staggering him with a european uppercut. But Rhyno was able to reverse an irish whip and he caught Dinsmore, planting him with a spinebuster that shook the ring. The fans murmured "Gore" as Rhyno went to the corner, measuring Dinsmore. Dinsmore got up but turned right into the devstating finisher and Rhyno covered him for the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 5:31 Cole: "That Gore is as devastating a finisher as any here on PrimeTime and now what, Rhyno's got the mic"! Rhyno: "Rome! Rome! Did you see that?! Do you still think you wanna mess with me? Well if you do, I got the place, if you got the time! WrestleMania..... me and you. But it ain't gonna be no benchpress contest! No, this is gonna be you versus the Motor City madman.... if you got the guts"! RHYNO TOSSES THE MICROPHONE OUT OF THE RING AND HIS MUSIC HITS. Ventura: "Like I said about five minutes ago, that could be you Rome". Cole: "Rhyno obviously still bothered by the embarrassment he suffered when he challenged Rome to that benchpress contest and now, he's laid out a challenge for WrestleMania.... will Rome accept"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, ROB VAN DAM IS SHOWN WITH IDALIS. HE HAS A TERRIBLE LOOKING EYE. Idalis: "Rob, it took sixteen stitches to close the wound suffered after Muhammad Hassan threw you into that glass window last week. What is your response to that"? Rob Van Dam: "Well, I've been looking all over this arena for Hassan and it seems he's not here, imagine that. But one thing is for sure, he's gonna pay for last week". JUST THEN, RICK CLARK COMES UP AND GETS IN RVD's FACE. Rick Clark: "So are you trying to say that Muhammad is afraid of you? Please, you're about as scary as the Easter bunny boy". RVD: "Idalis, can you step out of the way please? IDALIS QUICKLY BACKS AWAY AND RVD NAILS CLARK WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE KNOCKING HIM INTO THE WALL WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND THEN A SPIN KICK TO THE HEAD. CLARK FALLS TO THE FLOOR, GRABBING HIS HEAD. You tell Hassan that he'll be able to find me next week and if he's not scared, if he is a man..... then prove it"! WAR ON AMERICA's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD IMMEDIATELY BOOS AS ARIES COMES OUT IN HIS CAMOFLAUGE FATIGUES. Cole: "And I agree! If Muhammad Hassan can throw a man's face through a glass window, causing sixteen stitches and then not face him man to man, that kinda says you're scared"! Ventura: "Hassan, Clae, War on America, they're all cowards to me Michael, great wrestlers, but not great at how they go about getting noticed". Cole: "Well Aries will face the man we like to call the franchise here, a man who will defend the name of the New Breed at WrestleMania"! "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND OUT COMES JORDAN ROCKWELL TO AN OUTPOUR OF CHEERS. Ventura: "And I talked to Rockwell before the show Michael and although he wants this match at WrestleMania, he's nervous because he feels he will be responsible if his group loses the rights to the name". Cole: "Rockwell has been a staple of the TWF for many years now but this match at WrestleMania is not about individuals. It will be won and lost as a group"! Ventura: "Well it is about individuals tonight and Aries has attacked Rockwell before the bell"! Aries vs. Jordan Rockwell Rockwell was in an early hole, trying to cover up as the hand to hand combat specialist took the fight to him. After 2 knee lifts, Aries shot him to the ropes and caught him with a forearm shiver to the face before dropping a big elbow on him. But a cover only netted Aries a 2 count. He pulled Rockwell back up and pushed him to the corner, moving in with some uppercut shots to the midsection. He then shot him to the far side and ran in but Rockwell stuck a foot in his face and exploded through him with a clothesline. That led to a big piledriver and Rockwell covered him for the long 2 count. But moments later, Aries was able to reverse an irish whip and he picked Rockwell up, dumping him over the top rope with a stun gun. Aries picked him up, looking for the "Land Mine" but Rockwell escaped and put him down with a pick up spinebuster. But Rockwell turned to see Sean O'Haire and Heidenreich observing from the top of the set. Rockwell wrestled the rest of the match distracted and never could capitalize on Aries. A stiff DDT allowed Aries to regain the momentum but he gave it right back when he came off the top rope with a double axe handle but Rockwell kicked him in the gut and delivered the Scarlet Fever. But Hirohito ran down to the ring with the black flag that symbolizes War on America. He dropped the flag in the aisle and got on the apron on the side furthest from the entrance. Referee Mike Chioda got in Hirohito's face, ordering him to the back. But while Chioda struggled with Hirohito, O'Haire came down the ramp and grabbed the flag, driving the pole of it into the side of Rockwell's head after Aries draped him over the middle turnbuckle. Rockwell grabbed his head in pain as O'Haire backed away, laughing. Aries picked him up for a backdrop suplex but spun it into a sit down powerbomb and Chioda made the 3 count as a huge upset was registered. Match Time: 9:16 Cole: "Oh come on! Rockwell is out here by himself and he's gotta worry about four damn guys"! Ventura: "Well Rockwell will have help at WrestleMania and it looks like he's gonna need it". ROCKWELL TRIED TO POINT AT O'HAIRE IN WARNING BUT THE PAIN HE FELT DUE TO THE SHOT TO THE HEAD OVERCAME HIM. O'HAIRE AND HEIDENREICH LEFT IN HIGH SPIRITS. Cole: "The rights to the New Breed will be on the line and whatever it takes, Rockwell, Tirpak and Chaos Wolf have got to find a way to win! These imposters led by O'Haire don't deserve it"! BACKSTAGE AREA..... CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW DYLAN JANSENS TALKING TO A STAGEHAND BUT WHAT NEITHER ONE OF THEM SEES IS LUTHER REIGNS SNEAKING UP FROM BEHIND. BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING, HE IS ATTACKED HIMSELF....... BY HIGH OCTANE OF RAMPAGE! THE COMMOTION CAUSES JANSENS TO TURN AROUND. Dylan Jansens: "What the......... High Octane: "Dylan Jansens, we meet again. Looks like Thompson tried to set up an attack, but it's taken care of". Jansens: "Well I must say I appreciate that, but I gotta know, what are you doing here"? High Octane: "Oh, I got something I have to say to a certain someone. But uh, good luck at WrestleMania". Jansens: "Yeah.... thanks". JANSENS WATCHES HIGH OCTANE WALK AWAY, A CONFUSED LOOK ON HIS FACE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "SAD BUT TRUE", MIKE AUSTIN's THEME MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WITH BOTH RIC FLAIR AND BATISTA. Cole: "Did you see that?! PrimeTime's been invaded by Rampage"! Ventura: "I see that and who knows what would've happened to Jansens without him"! Mike Austin: "So did you tell him Ric"? Ric Flair: "Oh I told him... he's here Dave, he's here"! Batista: "I'll believe it when I see it. Bring him out here then"! Cole: "Wait a minute.... it can't be". Austin: "Fine, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Stone Cold Steve Austin"! THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY STONE COLD's MUSIC AND IT IS POSSIBLY THE LOUDEST CHEER IN THE TWF TO THIS POINT THIS YEAR AS THE RATTLESNAKE COMES OUT TO A HUGE RESPONSE. Cole: "It is! And I can't hear myself think"! Ventura: "Stone Cold Steve Austin is here Michael, look at this place go wild"! AFTER GETTING ON ALL 4 TURNBUCKLES TO PLAY TO THE CROWD, STONE COLD GRABS A MIC AND REFUSES A HANDSHAKE FROM MIKE AUSTIN. Austin: "Steve, Steve, don't act like this man". Stone Cold: "First off..... I wanna hear Daytona gimme a hell yeah! Crowd (in unison): "Hell yeah"!!!!! Stone Cold: "So I been sittin' at home right, watchin' tv, drinkin' beers, well mostly drinkin' beers, and I come across TWF PrimeTime! Now, I love to see guys like Jordan Rockwell and Randy Orton, but then I see a guy claiming to be my nephew, Mike Austin! I came here tonight to make it crystal clear that that son of a bitch is no relation to me at all! STONE COLD POINTS AT MIKE AUSTIN WHO IS BESIDE HIMSELF. Hey don't dance around kid, I know the truth about you and trying to make a name for yourself using my just ain't gonna work"! BATISTA IS STARTING TO GET MAD. Batista: "Wait a minute Mike! You lied about this whole thing"?! Austin: "Don't believe him man, this is the way he's always treated me! Him and the family, they've always denied me"! Stone Cold: "Okay, now you're pissing me off. So I'm gonna give you to the count of three to admit who you really are or these fans are gonna see a one hundred percent ass whoopin' right here. One............two............ JUST THEN, STONE COLD CUTS THE COUNT OFF AND DRILLS AUSTIN WITH THE STUNNER, GETTING DOWN IN HIS FACE AND TRASH TALKING HIM. FLAIR COMES OVER AND THROWS A KNIFEDGE, TO WHICH STONE COLD JUST LAUGHS BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE STUNNER TOO! Cole: "Stone Cold is cleaning house! I can't believe what we are seeing here"! Ventura: "I don't know who to believe"! Stone Cold: "Batista, you mark my words, next week, I will give you the proof that this SOB ain't my nephew and afterwards, you can decide what you wanna do because Shane McMahon and I have set up a chance for you to get back at him. Batista versus this piece of trash at WrestleMania with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special referee! The choice is yours....you got one week. And that's the bottom line....cause Stone Cold said so"! STONE COLD's MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND HE LEAVES THE RING TO A ROARING CHEER, GIVING BATISTA ONE LAST STARE. Cole: "I am just numb Jesse! This situation has taken a dramatic turn of events and now of all things, there is a contract for Batista to face Mike Austin at WrestleMania"! Ventura: "Well he's got a week to decide and I think Batista will come to the same conclusion I have and that is that Stone Cold is denying Mike Austin"! Cole: "Well if Batista chooses the other way, Stone Cold will be a part of WrestleMania"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR SECRET PLATINUM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BUD LIGHT. RETURN FROM BREAK..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, HIGHLIGHT CLIPS ARE SHOWN FOR HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES MICK FOLEY AND THE BIG BOSS MAN. BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" IS PLAYING AND THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN IS LEADING BOTH CHARLIE HAAS AND ROB CONWAY TO THE RING. Cole: "Back on PrimeTime and we are ready for a big tag team match but I want to talk for a moment about the two men we just saw Jesse, Mick Foley and The Big Boss Man". Ventura: "They are two guys I know and have a lot of respect for. Foley of course is considered legendary for the way he got into the business and the Boss Man, who is unfortunately not with us anymore, was as good for a man his size that I've ever seen". Cole: "Two true greats will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame the night before WrestleMania...... "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND PYRO POUNDS AS STRIFE AND BAHAMUT COME OUT WITH THE TAG TEAM TITLES TO A HUGE OVATION. but at WrestleMania, one of the big interdivisional matches pits this team against Jamal and Rosey from Rampage". Ventura: "Well I can respect what Jamal and Rosey have done for the last six to eight months, but Strife and Bahamut have been doing it almost since the TWF's inception. They've proven it time and time again that they are the greatest team in TWF history and I believe they're just gonna further that at Mania". Cole: "They do face a test tonight in Ted Dibiase's duo of Conway and Haas and it seems there's a little bonus waiting if Conway and Haas win this thing". Ventura: "Ted Dibiase knows how to motivate his people Michael, with the almighty dollar"! Non-Title Match Rob Conway and Charlie Haas w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Tag Team Champs Strife and Bahamut Bahamut started things out with Haas and they tied up. Bahamut used his strength advantage to back Haas into the corner but when referee Chris Kay asked for a break, Conway came over and got in a cheap shot on Bahamut. Haas then took him down in the corner and put the boots to his chest. Haas then made the tag and Conway came in, looking to keep Bahamut on the mat. But he missed a big elbow drop and Bahamut grabbed him in a full nelson. The sneaky Conway was able to get in a mule kick before hitting the ropes but Bahamut kicked him right in the face. He then tagged in Strife and the Locomotive came in on fire, hitting both Conway and Haas with clotheslines. He pulled Conway up by the throat but Haas came from behind with a chop block. Kay forced Haas to his corner but Conway now had a target-the right leg of the big man. Conway worked the leg and torqued the knee very awkwardly, putting Strife in a lot of pain. He then locked in the figure four and Strife was in a lot of trouble. He fought through the pain but Kay nearly got a 3 count on two occasions while his shoulders were on the mat. The only reason Strife got out of the hold was because Kay caught Conway gaining extra leverage by grabbing Haas' hands. Kay forced a break and Conway made the tag. Haas came in and stomped on the right leg and knee of Strife. He then picked him up as if going for a shinbreaker but Strife clubbed him in the back of the neck and went for a gorilla press slam. But his knee gave out and he fell to the mat with Haas. Haas got up and made the tag to Conway but when he charged Strife, the Locomotive picked him up and delivered a crushing sideslam. Strife then willed his way to his corner and tagged in Bahamut who hit "What Legends are made of" on Conway but he couldn't get the 3 count cause Haas broke it up. Haas then went for an irish whip but Bahamut reversed it and launched Haas over the top rope with a backdrop. He then tagged Strife back in and they lifted Conway up for a double Razor's Edge style powerbomb and Strife made the cover for the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 8:14 Cole: "It looks like no bonus tonight! Strife and Bahamut have won this thing"! Ventura: "But it may've come at a price Michael, Strife is hobbling around"! "BOMBSHELL" PLAYED VERY LOUDLY AND STRIFE AND BAHAMUT LEFT, ARMS RAISED WITH THE TITLES. Cole: "I think that's the first time I've seen them use a double team move like that to finish a match. They're pullin' out all the stops for WrestleMania"! Ventura: "Well they can do that all they want but I don't see them getting either Jamal or Rosey up like that"! FONT COLOR= "WHITE">BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM..... A STRESSED OUT BATISTA IS SHOWN PACING BACK AND FORTH WHEN RIC FLAIR COMES IN. Ric Flair: "Batista! Come on man, what's your decision gonna be"? BATISTA STOPS. Batista: "I don't know"! Flair: "Come on Dave, Mike has been telling us this all along. Stone Cold has always denied him, he doesn't want to admit that his little nephew is better than him, don't you see it? BATISTA JUST STARES AT HIM. I'm tellin' ya man, I'll give you your time to think it over, but just don't.... just don't be stupid". FLAIR LEAVES THE ROOM. SEAN CONNERY IS SHOWN AS JAMES BOND AS HE LOOKED IN 1964. HE IS DRIVING HIS ASTON MARTIN WHEN HE IS CONTACTED BY Q WHO TELLS HIM THAT AURIC GOLDFINGER IS PLANNING ON ROBBING FORT KNOX TO BECOME THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Q TELLS HIM WHERE HE CAN FIND GOLDFINGER. THE SCENE THEN SHOWS BOND AND PUSSY GALORE PULL UP AT A HOTEL. THEY ENTER AND THE SCENE LOOKS LIKE THAT OF AN OLD, 1964 MOVIE. MS. GALORE TRIES TO PULL BOND INTO A ROOM. James Bond: "We are on a mission here Pussy, we cannot lose sight of that". AFTER WALKING UP A STAIRWAY, BOND KICKS IN A DOOR WHERE HE BELIEVES GOLDFINGER IS. BUT HE IS SHOCKED TO SEE SHANE McMAHON INSIDE, COUNTING MONEY. Bond: "Where is Goldfinger"? Shane McMahon: "Who... oh that guy? I had him taken care of". STRIFE AND BAHAMUT COME INTO THE SCENE AS MS. GALORE SITS DOWN NEXT TO SHANE ON THE COUCH, SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF INTEREST IN HIM. Bond: "What do you mean you took care of him? He planned to rob Fort Knox today". McMahon: "Let's just say he didn't make it". Bond: "Well, I must come back with something to prove he has been taken care of. I must have something of value". McMahon: "Hmmm..... I've got just the thing". STRIFE PICKS UP A BRIEFCASE AND COMES TOWARDS BOND. HE POPS OPEN THE BRIEFCASE AND INSIDE ARE 2 TICKETS TO WRESTLEMANIA 6. Bond: "WrestleMania tickets, but why two"? SHANE LOOKS OVER AT MS. GALORE WHO AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ENAMORED WITH BOND. McMahon: "That's for you and her. Oh, and tell the producers to find someone better than Roger Moore"! Audio voiceover: "WrestleMania six.... The Gold Standard, anything less and it's probably a different show! Live and only on pay-per-view from the MetroDome in Minneapolis, Minnesota"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... DRESSING ROOM..... CAMERAS SHOW RANDY ORTON TALKING ON HIS CELL PHONE ABOUT A "DATE" LATER IN THE EVENING. SUDDENLY, HIGH OCTANE BURSTS INTO THE ROOM. Randy Orton: "Uh, I gotta let ya go babe, we'll talk more tonight". OCTANE GETS IN ORTON's FACE. High Octane: "Did I ask you to help me out in my match last week? No.... I had it handled, so don't..... Orton: "Had it handled? You were gonna get beat.... again! Listen man, we agreed to this match and I want to have the best match in WrestleMania history! I don't want to be facing High Octane, the biggest underachiever in TWF history, the man coming off a huge losing streak! No, I want to face the man that I was told was gonna be the next big star, way back when I was in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, dreaming of getting here"! High Octane: "And you're gonna get your wish". OCTANE LEAVES THE ROOM AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR ALLSTATE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO, NOW INTRODUCING "ALL YOU CAN WATCH". RETURN FROM BREAK..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE CAGE IS SHOWN SURROUNDING THE RING AS "MIND SET" BY MERCY DRIVE HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO A SHILLING OF BOOS. Cole: "We are ready for our main event here in round two of the New Breed Challenge but Jess, there's a huge match that's been added to WrestleMania"! Ventura: "Shane-O-Mac just sanctioned it and at WrestleMania, it'll be Edge defending the Hardcore title in a barbed wire ladder match against Axl Irvin"! THE WRESTLEMANIA GRAPHIC POPS UP AND IT SHOWS BOTH MEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE METRODOME. Cole: "Both of the objects Axl tried to use on Edge earlier will be involved in that one but also at WrestleMania is the six man tag that will decide who gets the rights to the New Breed name and now, two men will step inside that cage to decide who gets to pick the stipulation for that match"! "BODIES" BY DROWNING POOL IS CUED UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO ONE HECK OF A POP. Ventura: "We saw Chris Tirpak defeat Heidenreich last week so if Chaos Wolf can get the win here, the New Breed Challenge is over Michael"! Cole: "If not, there will be a third and deciding match next week and as far as these two go, they are no strangers". Ventura: "They sure aren't and neither one of them has ever been involved in a cage match, at least not in the TWF but I think Oliver's former job as a Hollywood stuntman might come in handy for him here"! New Breed Challenge Round 2/Steel Cage Match Jason Tiger Oliver vs. Chaos Wolf These two hated rivals were not just out to helpt their prospective groups, but to seriously hurt each other as well. After a tradeoff of punches, Oliver shot Wolf to the corner but Wolf got in a back elbow and then a jumping bulldog. Wolf then removed the padding on one of the turnbuckles and grabbed Oliver. But Oliver blocked going face first into it with his foot and then elbowed Wolf in the ribs before slamming him right into a wall of the cage. Oliver then delivered a gutwrench suplex and began to climb. He was about halfway up but Wolf came and grabbed his foot, pulling him to the mat. Wolf then grabbed him by the back of the head and rammed him into the cage 2 times before dropping him with a jump kick to the face. Oliver was bleeding and Wolf went to the top rope, coming off with a leg-o-matic that drove Oliver's face into the mat. The fans were on their feet as Wolf began to climb out of the cage. But Oliver showed a ton of resolve and his height came in handy as he got up and was able to grab the foot of Wolf, causing him to slip. Oliver then climbed up with him and both men were perched on the top support of the cage, trading shots. But after a headbutt, Oliver rammed Wolf's face into the support and then grabbed him, flying off the cage into a swinging neckbreaker! Both men were hurt but Wolf was actually twitching as "HOLY SHIT" chants poured from the crowd. Oliver got up and slowly made his way to the cage door, diving out of it when referee Mike Chioda swung it open and it was over. Match Time: 4:04 Ventura: "That's it! He's escaped"! Cole: "An unbelievable move there and I'm just surprised that either man is moving, Chaos Wolf is getting up now". Ventura: "But it doesn't look like he'll be there for long"! JUST THEN, "MIND SET" STOPPED PLAYING WHEN SEAN O'HAIRE AND HEIDENREICH CAME OUT. HEIDENREICH ENTERED THE CAGE AND TOOK SOME MORE SHOTS AT WOLF. BUT JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK ON, VLAD THE IMPALER WAS IN THE RING IN HIS OLD GEAR! HE TOOK IT TO HEIDENREICH AND WOLF CLOSED THE DOOR AND PADLOCKED IT. SEAN O'HAIRE TRIED TO CLIMB THE CAGE AS DID OLIVER BUT JORDAN ROCKWELL CAME OUT AND RIPPED OLIVER DOWN. O'HAIRE JUMPED OFF AND THREW A KICK AT ROCKWELL BUT ROCKWELL BLOCKED IT AND THEN SPEARED HIM RIGHT INTO THE CAGE! THE CROWD WAS ON THEIR FEET AS VLAD GOT HEIDENREICH UP AND DELIVERED HIS OLD FINISHER, "LIGHTS OUT"! Cole: "I can't believe what we're seeing here! Chris Tirpak has reverted to his alter ego Vlad the Impaler! What does this mean for the match at WrestleMania"?! Ventura: "Is Sean O'Haire okay is what I wanna know! He might have some broken bones after that spear"! Cole: "The New Breed imposters have won round two, but the momentum is sure as heck not in their favor"! OFF AIR........
