May 18, 2005
On the eve of what may be Reggie Miller's last game as an NBA player, the TWF raided his home court, Conseco Fieldhouse for the first time since February 2003. On that night it was TWF RAW in the house and there was a huge tag team main event, just as there was on this night. But first, Uprising got things underway with 3 very big matches. Ultimo Dragon vs. Hirohito Ultimo was stuck in the ring with a much bigger man but he battled him and kept him back with his kicks. Hirohito was able to take control after a thrust to the throat and really wear the Dragon down. But after missing a running yakuza kick, he fell victim to the "Dragon DDT" and was pinned. Vlad the Impaler vs. Orlando Jordan Vlad got off the losing streak after taking on a game Jordan and putting him away with the Impaler DDT. Luther Reigns vs. Rome The main event was full of hard shots and heavy hitting. Luther took control after a spinning backhand and then a running boot to the jaw. But Rome got back into it with back to back t-bone suplexes. But Rome became distracted by the presence of Tiger Ali Singh at ringside and turned right into a heavy clothesline. Luther then pulled him up and delivered the reverse spinning neckbreaker drop to get the surprising pin. TIGER ALI SINGH COULD ONLY SHAKE HIS HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, A HOCKEY MASK IS SHOWN, SITTING ON A TABLE AS THE VOICE OF MICHAEL COLE IS HEARD. Michael Cole: "For nearly five years, Nails, behind his intimidating hockey mask, has destroyed opponent after opponent in the TWF, become the King of Hardcore. But behind the mask lies another story, one the fans of the TWF know nothing about. However, one man threatens to bring it all out. A SHOT OF JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN ABOVE THE HOCKEY MASK. Will Jordan Rockwell reveal to the world the mystery behind the mask? Or..... is it something we'll wish we never knew"? THE MONTAGE VIDEO FOR PRIMETIME ROLLS IN BLACK AND WHITE, SHOWING ALL THE SUPERSTARS OF THE DIVISION AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE SHOT RETURNS TO COLOR AS THE CONSECO FIELDHOUSE IS SHOWN WITH THOUSANDS OF FANS GOING WILD INSIDE. Michael Cole: "We are live from the Hoosier state and it is time..... it is PrimeTime"! Jesse Ventura: "And can you believe the colossal tag team match we have tonight Michael? Batista and Randy Orton.... former tag team champions, against Mike Cirianni and the Universal champion Shane Thompson"! "NEW YORK, NEW YORK" BY JA RULE PLAYS AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A THUNDEROUS CHEER WITH A FEMALE BY HIS SIDE WHO IS WAVING TO THE CROWD. Cole: "Perhaps one of the biggest main events in the history of PrimeTime but look at who it is! Chaos Wolf has returned to PrimeTime and look who he's with, the lovely Chae"! Ventura: "We all saw the seperated shoulder Chaos Wolf suffered at WrestleMania and I've heard some say he's rushed this comeback Michael". HIS OPPONENT, ERIC YOUNG, IS SHOWN IN THE RING. Cole: "He's set to take on Eric Young here and we'll find out real quick if that notion is true, whether his has full range of motion in that shoulder or not". Chaos Wolf w/ Chae vs. Eric Young (invitee) Chaos Wolf pulled on the top rope to stretch his shoulder out and the two men locked up. Wolf pulled him into a headlock but Young escaped and took it into a hammerlock, trying to work on that shoulder. But Wolf countered with a back elbow before shooting him to the ropes for a backbody drop. But Wolf stayed on him, pulling him up again and hitting a standing dropkick. Wolf then showed the crowd his shoulder was just fine, patting it and then using it to drive into Young's abdomen. He then tried to whip him to the corner but Young reversed it, only to run into a foot to the face. Wolf then lifted up to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a flying DDT that stuck Young into the mat. The fans were on their feet cheering and the "Chaos Driver" completed a successful return to the ring. Match Time: 5:19 Cole: "I'd say the shoulder is just fine Jess! What a performance"! CHAE WAS SHOWN CLAPPING AS CHAOS WOLF CLIMBED BACK UP ON THE TURNBUCKLE TO TAKE IN WHAT WAS QUITE AN OVATION. Ventura: "He answered all his doubters tonight Michael! Chaos Wolf is ready to make an impact"! A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE COMBATANTS FOR THE TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT INSIDE THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED. Cole: "Well speaking of impact, what kind of impact is this match gonna have on this night?! You don't wanna go away"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR DANNON FRUIT FUSION IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR "STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH". RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "DANGEROUS POLITICS" HITS AND HEIDENREICH COMES OUT, SLOWLY WALKING DOWN THE RAMP. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE BELT WRAPPED AROUND HIS HEAD AND NECK Cole: "As we return to PrimeTime, you see Heidenreich and next week Jesse, it's the rematch". Ventura: "And what a rematch it's gonna be Cole. Strife and Bahamut against the team that beat them at Foul Play, Oliver and Heidenreich only this time, it's in a steel cage"! Cole: "And that's just gonna be a war partner, an absolute war". "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY P.O.D. HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER, HOLDING ONE ARM STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR. Ventura: "It was just last week when Bahamut earned this title match for his team but just think of the momentum they'll have if Strife can win this one". Cole: "I hope the ring crew reinforced the thing for this one. Two of the biggest men on PrimeTime are about to lock horns"! Strife vs. Heidenreich The bell rang after Heidenreich had already jumped Strife, still with his trench coat on. Heidenreich ripped the coat off and choked Strife with it. Referee Mike Enos let it go though and Heidenreich connected with an elbow drop before getting up and hitting himself in the head. Heidenreich then backed the Locomotive up with some heavy right jabs and open handed strikes. But Strife took them and threw back some of his own, rocking the big blonde ex-football player. Strife then went for a slam but couldn't get him up. Heidenreich hit the ropes but ran into a clothesline, but it still didn't take him down. Strife went for a suplex but Heidenreich blocked that and clubbed him across the back. Off an irish whip, Heidenreich swung errantly with a clothesline and Strife lifted him up, depositing him with a full nelson slam. This was the first time he was off his feet and an energized Strife began shaking the ropes. He then muscled the big man up and dropped him with the "Wrong Destination" as Enos positioned himself to make the 3 count. Match Time: 5:32 Cole: "Good night Heidenreich, you've just been kicked off the tracks"! Ventura: "I can't help but think about it though Cole, Strife mentioned last week that he'd hate to see what happened if Bahamut couldn't win last week! Well, what's gonna happen if they don't win next week"?! STRIFE WAS SHOWN LEAVING TO A HUGE CHEER AS HEIDENREICH TRIED TO PULL HIMSELF OFF THE MAT. Cole: "Did you see them get the win back from Jamal and Rosey? I wouldn't bet against Strife and Bahamut in a big match situation"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW CHAOS WOLF WITH VLAD THE IMPALER. Chaos Wolf: "It's good to be back man, it's good to be back". THE TWO MEN SLAP HANDS WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL RUSHES UP. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey guys, any of you see Nails or Edge tonight"? Vlad the Impaler: "Nah man, no one has". Rockwell: "Damnit"! ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY Chaos Wolf: "Did I miss something"? Vlad: "Rockwell wants to find those two..... real bad". TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND HE SAUNTERS TO THE RING TO A DECENT RESPONSE. Ventura: "Somebody needs to tell Rockwell to chill out". Cole: "Chill out? He had the number one contendership in the bag and Nails screwed him! Not only that, but Edge was in on it! How could you chill out partner"? "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND SOME PYRO RAINS DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SET AS CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. Ventura: "Well here's something I've been looking forward to, the PrimeTime debut of Christian"! Cole: "Christian came over as part of a trade with Rampage and it's been years since Christian was on this program". Ventura: "Well he's got a tough opponent in Tajiri tonight but he seems to be more interested in talking to the fans". Cole: "And they don't seem at all interested in talking to him, at least not in a positive light.... listen to this"! Christian vs. Tajiri In a longer match than Christian wanted, Tajiri tried to rearrange his face with his kicks after Christian tried to steal the match with his feet up on the ropes. But Christian kicked out of several near falls and got back into the match with a reverse ddt. But me missed a crossbody block off the top rope and Tajiri shot him to the corner and locked in the Tarantula. Tajiri took all of referee Chris Kay's 5 count before releasing the hold. Tajiri then went for the Buzzsaw Kick but Christian moved out of it's path and hooked Tajiri up in the "Un-Prettier" to get the win. Match Time: 9:15 Ventura: "What a start for Christian here on PrimeTime"! Cole: "The Un-Prettier is a move that has devastating effects and it could easily take Christian to the top here"! Ventura: "Wait a minute Michael, what the hell is this"?! JORDAN ROCKWELL HAD COME OUT ON THE STAGE WITH A MICROPHONE AND HE MADE HIS WAY TO THE RING, TALKING. Jordan Rockwell: "Christian! Don't go anywhere yet, I've got some questions for ya! ROCKWELL CLIMBED INTO THE RING. Forget about the time you gave Lita the Un-Prettier, that's not what I'm here for right now. What I need to know is.... where are Edge and Nails"? CHRISTIAN SNATCHES THE MIC OUT OF HIS HAND. Christian: "How the hell should I know? Cause Edge and I used to be tight? That was the past buddy and to be honest, I didn't come to PrimeTime to play Days of Our Lives with you! See ya around"! CHRISTIAN SLAMS THE MIC AT THE FEET OF ROCKWELL AS "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" HIT AGAIN. Ventura: "Good for you Christian! You don't need that"! Cole: "Well it looks like Rockwell is gonna interrogate everyone here until he finds out where those two are"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR WAL-MART IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR CAPITOL ONE CREDIT CARDS. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE, RIC FLAIR IS SHOWN WITH MIKE CIRIANNI AND SHANE THOMPSON. Ric Flair: "Whooo! You boys ready for this tonight"? Mike Cirianni: "Am I ready? I've already beaten both these guys". Flair: "That's what I like to hear champ. Hey Thompson, you don't watch it and Cirianni here might sneak up on ya and take that title! Just joking man". Shane Thompson: "Very funny". THOMPSON WALKS AWAY AS FLAIR AND CIRIANNI JUST CHUCKLE. Rhyno vs. A.J. Styles For almost 17 minutes, the crowd was in awe as Styles really put his talents on display, taking the manbeast's best shots and kept coming back. After failing to get the 3 count off a spinebuster, Rhyno went for a suplex but Styles escaped his hold and pushed him to the ropes, smoking him with his dropkick to bring the fans into the match. Styles then hit a tremendous reverse bicycle kick before going to the top rope, looking to put the former Universal Champ away with the Spiral Tap. But Rhyno got out of the way and went and removed one of the turnbuckle pads. He whipped Styles to the ropes but missed with a clothesline and Styles hit a jumping enziguri. He then charged Rhyno but Rhyno lifted him into the air by his legs and Styles hit the exposed bolt where the turnbuckle pad was, face first. Rhyno then ran him over with the "Gore" with tremendous impact and that was it. After the match though, even Rhyno looked surprised at the resolve of Styles. Match Time: 16:38 BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, DYLAN JANSENS AND A MEMBER OF THE BACKSTAGE CREW IS WATCHING THE MATCH INVOLVING STYLES AND RHYNO ON A MONITOR. Crew Member: "That Styles can go". Dylan Jansens: "I'm tellin' ya, if he gets the chance to show it, he's as good as anyone". JUST THEN, RENE DUPREE WALKS BY AND BUMPS INTO JANSENS. Rene Dupree: "Excuse you? Oh look, if it isn' the so called Frenchman, Dylan Jansens. Ya know, the people of France are glad you moved to America, because you don't deserve to live in the greatest country in the world today". Jansens: "Funny Rene, but the way I look at it, I already live in the best country in the world". Dupree: (laughs) "You're lucky my hand is sore, cause I'd knock your teeth out right now for a comment like that". DUPREE WALKS AWAY AND JANSENS DOESN'T APPEAR HAPPY. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS GRABBING A SEAT AT THE ANNOUNCE POSITION AFTER SETTING HIS INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE ON THE TABLE. Ventura: "Go ahead, grab a headset champ"! Cole: "We are being joined here by the Intercontinental champion Sean O'Haire, how ya doin' Sean"? COLE EXTENDS HIS HAND TO SHAKE BUT O'HAIRE JUST SITS DOWN. Sean O'Haire: "How ya doin' tonight Body"? Ventura: "Oh you know me. How are things in the life of the Intercontinental champ"? THE LAUGH OF TED DIBIASE FILLS THE ARENA AS "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYS AND HE LEADS ROB CONWAY OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. O'Haire: "Well, everyone wants to get a piece of the champ, all the ladies, ya know? But I figured, what better way to spend my night than to come out here and add some intelligence to this broadcast". "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND PYRO SHOOTS OFF ON THE SET AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE LOUDEST POPS ALL NIGHT. Cole: "But can you tell us what made you wanna cover this match"? Ventura: "He wants to scout possible opponents Michael, like it's any of your business". O'Haire: "No, let's not beat around the bush guys. Rob Van Dam had the nerve to ask me for a title shot last week and I just wanna see if he even deserves to be in the same ring as me. If he can't defeat Rob Conway here, I'd say he doesn't". Cole: "We heard Dibiase last week call Conway his money man now that Charlie Haas is on Rampage. What kind of bonus do you think he'd take in for a win here"? Ventura: "Again, none of your business". Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Rob Van Dam RVD came out quickly, jabbing away at the open rib cage of Conway. He then shot him to the corner for a monkey flip before hitting the Rolling Thunder. But he couldn't put Conway down for the 3 count and after missing with a jumping heel kick, Conway made him pay with a Samoan drop. Dibiase then told him to slow it down and he did, putting RVD in a reverse chin lock and applying all his weight to the hold. But behind the restless fans, RVD was cheered back into it and he got to a vertical base, elbowing Conway 3 times in the midsection. He then hit the ropes and connected with a front dropkick before hitting the ropes again but Conway got up and clobbered him with a clothesline. He pulled RVD up and went for a backdrop suplex but Van Dam flipped off his shoulder and threw a kick. Conway caught it, only to be taken out by his step over heel kick, a move that usually spells the beginning of the end. Seeing this, O'Haire threw off his headset and left the announce table. RVD saw him and the two began trading unpleasantries and referee Brian Hebner stuck his head through the ropes, warning O'Haire to back off. But RVD didn't give him a chance to, drilling him with a baseball slide. But while this was going on, Conway got in a stiff lowblow and then small packaged RVD as Hebner made the 3 count. 10:34 Cole: "Oh come on! That was a damn lowblow by Conway"! Ventura: "A what? I must've missed it". "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYED AND DIBIASE LEFT WITH A VICTORIOUS CONWAY AS A SMILING O'HAIRE LOOKED BACK AT RVD, CHECKING HIS MOUTH FOR BLOOD. Cole: "Oh you saw it! Nothing but a cheap win, that's all"! Ventura: "And you heard O'Haire. If RVD couldn't beat Conway, then he doesn't deserve to even be in the same ring as him"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... BACKSTAGE..... EDGE AND NAILS ARE SHOWN IN A VERY SECLUDED AREA BACKSTAGE WHEN A FIGURE COMES RUNNING UP FROM THE SHADOWS, IT's AN OUT OF BREATH CHRISTIAN. Christian: (panting) "Okay guys, it only took one night, Rockwell already questioned me. I want out, this is gonna get too crazy". Edge: "Chill out C-man, this will all blow over soon. Besides, Nails is more than willing to take care of our Rockwell problem.... for good". THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON THE HOCKEY MASK OF NAILS AS THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE WRESTLEMANIA 6 EDITION OF TWF FIGURES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR T-MOBILE WIRELESS. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... Chavo Guerrero and Akio vs. Paul London and Sychotic London and Sychotic ran to the ring and the fast paced action was non-stop. Chavo and Akio got back into it when London flew off the top rope but Akio caught him with a flying wheel kick. He then tagged in Chavo who had plenty of harsh words for London and some slaps to the back of his head. But when Chavo shot him to the ropes, London rolled to the side and tagged in Sychotic who was all fired up. He knocked Chavo down with back to back forearms before smashing Akio with a back elbow that knocked him to the floor. London then came into the ring and amazingly flew over the top rope with a front flip right onto Akio and both men were down. In the ring, Sychotic caught Chavo with a stiff kick to the face before whipping him to the ropes for a hip toss but Chavo blocked it and somehow hooked him right into the "Gory Bomb", delivering it with perfection to get the 3 count. Match Time: 6:51 AFTER THE MATCH, CHAVO MOTIONED TO LONDON FOR THE BELT AROUND HIS WAIST. BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, TRACI BROOKS HAS JUST ENDED A CALL ON HER CELL PHONE WHEN TAYLOR MADE COMES UP. Taylor Made: "Oh, I'm sorry, didn't mean to...... Traci Brooks: "It's okay, don't worry about it". Taylor: "Ya know, I don't think we've met. I'm Taylor Made". TAYLOR EXTENDS HIS HAND BUT A DEFENSIVE AXL IRVIN COMES UP. Axl Irvin: "Hey! Didn't you learn a lesson after last week? Or is that kick to the face Dupree gave ya still killing brain cells"? Taylor: "Ya know, I'm not sure". JUST THEN, TAYLOR RARES BACK AND DRILLS AXL WITH A RIGHT HAND, KNOCKING HIM TO THE FLOOR. TRACI GETS DOWN TO MAKE SURE HE's OKAY BEFORE GIVING TAYLOR AN ANGRY LOOK. THE CAMERA SWITCHES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE RENE DUPREE IS TALKING WITH DAWN MARIE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ABOUT TO KISS WHEN MUHAMMAD HASSAN AND TIGER ALI SINGH COME UP. Muhammad Hassan: "Hey Rene! DUPREE TURNS AROUND. I heard about what you told Jansens and I like it. That is exactly the kind of attitude that needs to be shown to those who support America". HASSAN GOES FOR A HANDSHAKE. Rene Dupree: "Ya know, you couldn't be more right". DUPREE SHAKES HIS HAND AND THE TWO SMILE, AS DO TIGER AND DAWN. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR TACO BELL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR M & M MAZING's. Batista and Randy Orton vs. Shane Thompson and Mike Cirianni w/ Ric Flair The bell sounded and it was Orton and Cirianni who started the match. Orton started with two quick arm drags but Cirianni got up and twisted Orton's arm. Orton fired back with a right hand before hitting the ropes and taking Cirianni down with a shoulder tackle. Orton then leapt over a laid out Cirianni and was able to miss a clothesline before hitting the ropes again and scoring with a dropkick. Orton then made the tag to Batista who smashed Cirianni with a clothesline. He then shot him to the corner with authority and followed in but Cirianni dodged out of the way of a clothesline and was able to make a diving tag into Thompson. Thompson came in but had no answer for the animal and after hitting the ropes, he was put down with a spinebuster. Batista then hyped the crowd up, calling for the "Batista Bomb". He set Thompson up for it as Flair ran around the ring and grabbed Orton by the leg. This action got the attention of referee Mike Chioda and Cirianni went and grabbed Thompson's title, hitting Batista in the back of the head with it. Thompson then fell on top of him as Chioda turned and made the 3 count. Match Time: 4:28 AS "WAITING TO DIE" PLAYS, CIRIANNI HOLDS THE TITLE UP. Cole: "Look at this guy! He's not the champion"! THOMPSON COMES FROM BEHIND AND SNATCHES THE TITLE BEFORE LEAVING THE RING. CIRIANNI AND FLAIR JUST LOOK ON SMILING. Ventura: "And I think Thompson just reminded him of that". Cole: "Well nonetheless, they have gotten the win here and it appears that not only Cirianni, but maybe Thompson has the numbers of two of PrimeTime's best". PARKING GARAGE...... JUST AS PRIMETIME IS ABOUT TO GO OFF THE AIR, EDGE AND CHRISTIAN ARE SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE, ABOUT TO LEAVE. Christian: "I don't know, I still don't know about this". Edge: "Trust me.... it's gonna blow over. Rockwell's not strong enough to face all of this". JUST THEN, THE PARKING GARAGE LIGHTS GO OFF. THE VOICE OF JORDAN ROCKWELL IS HEARD. Jordan Rockwell: "No Edge, this isn't gonna blow over. This isn't gonan blow over until you have paid..... and everyone has found out the truth about Nails"! THE LIGHTS TURN BACK ON AND A STARTLED EDGE AND CHRISTIAN JUMP INTO A VEHICLE AND PEEL OUT AS THE SHOT FADES...... OFF AIR.......
