For the second time in 2005, the stars of PrimeTime loaded into the Veterans Memorial in Des Moines. This one however was the last stop before TWF Eruption! Psychosis and Essa Rios vs. Devine Storm (invitees) Chris Devine and Quiet Storm, who have been invited to compete on Uprising before, were little match for the members of La Familia in this one as Psychosis took care of Storm before Rios came off the top rope with his moonsault on Devine. Psychosis followed that with a guillotine legdrop and they had a victory in under 3 minutes. Ken Kennedy vs. Mariner Kennedy did his ring announcing routine, degrading Mariner in the process. But after the bell sounded, Mariner gave Kennedy all he could handle. Just as Mariner seemed to have the battle of newcomers well in hand, Kennedy punched him in the crotch before he could come off the top rope and the referee called for the bell. But from there, Kennedy sent a message by delivering the "Lambeau Leap" to Mariner, drawing a lot of heat. Non-Title Match Rob Van Dam vs. Lightheavyweight Champ Super Crazy These two put on a fantastic high flying display and after a tradeoff of big moves, RVD cold cocked Crazy with a superkick. He then went for a running springboard moonsault but Crazy rolled through it into a cover of his own and he grabbed a handful of tights that the referee didn't see and that got him the win. THE FANS LOUDLY BOOED WHILE LA FAMILIA's MUSIC PLAYED AND SUPER CRAZY CELEBRATED WITH HIS TITLE AS RVD TRIED TO PLEAD HIS CASE TO THE REFEREE. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS, PRIMETIME's MONTAGE VIDEO RUNS AND THE SHOT OPENS INSIDE THE ARENA AS THE ORIENT EXPRESS COME OUT WITH SONNY ONOO AND THE FANS, WHO ARE ALL ON THEIR FEET, CHEER AS THE CAMERA PANS AROUND THE STANDS. Michael Cole: "It is time for TWF PrimeTime and as we get prepared for TWF Eruption Jesse, there are plenty of combustible elements tonight in Des Moines"! Jesse Ventura: "Without a question Michael! We know that at Eruption, Jordan Rockwell will defend the Universal title in a TLC match against Shane Thompson and they will be on opposite sides of a tag team tables match tonight"! "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND THE LOVELY TRACI BROOKS COMES OUT WITH AXL IRVIN. THE CROWD REACTS POSITIVELY. Cole: "That huge tag team match is our main event tonight but speaking of tag team matches, Axl Irvin, who claims he is the uncrowned Intercontinental champion, will get a chance to win that title in a tag team match at Eruption"! "WOOOOOOO" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO RIC FLAIR's MUSIC. THE CROWD "WOOOO's" AS WELL AND STANDS IN OVATION AS FLAIR MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE IN A GOLD ROBE. Ventura: "But don't forget, this man has that same oppurtunity and you can never count out the Nature Boy, Michael"! Cole: "And I never would! But Orlando Jordan, Sean O'Haire's partner, doesn't have the oppurtunity to become champion, I just think it would be nice...... Ventura: "If what, Flair won the belt for Axl? You would"! Cole: "Sonny Onoo's Orient Express will provide the opposition tonight and they have been a very formidable team since arriving on the scene here on PrimeTime". The Orient Express w/ Sonny Onoo vs. Ric Flair and Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks Flair decided to start the match off with the veteran Tanaka and they had a good exchange of knifedges. Tanaka's actually seemed to have more sting behind them but just as he was about to take control, Flair got in a finger to the eye. After wrenching the right arm of Tanaka, Flair smashed his chest with a knifedge before hitting the ropes for his big kneedrop. Flair pulled him into a cover but Tanaka was up at 1 and a half. Flair reached back and made the tag to Axl who tried to use his power to wear down Tanaka. He got him up in a Canadian backbreaker but Kato came in and kicked him right in the chest. But after dropping Tanaka, a flamed up Axl charged and smashed Kato in the back. But when he turned around, Tanaka chopped him in the midsection before tagging in Kato who launched himself over the top rope and took Axl to the mat with a one handed facebuster. Kato then pulled Axl up to a seated position and locked in a nerve hold. But Axl got to his feet and broke the hold, smashing Kato with 2 straight rights before hitting the ropes for a diving shoulder block. Flair tagged back in and tried to immobolize Kato by going after his legs. After a knee to the quad area of his left leg, Flair seemed to be sizing him up for the figure four but Tanaka was able to reach in with a Mongolian chop to the back of the neck. Kato then got up and made the tag, holding Flair for Tanaka to spin kick him in the abdomen. Tanaka then grabbed Flair in a waistlock but Flair smashed him with a back elbow before tagging in Irvin who came in with a head of steam, hitting back to back clotheslines before catching Kato with a powerslam when he tried to sneak up on him. Sonny Onoo then reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like a handful of salt. Traci saw this and came around but Onoo was startled and threw the salt in her eyes! Flair saw this and went to Traci's aid but in the ring, Axl, who was also focused on Traci, fell victim to the superkick from Tanaka right into a german suplex by Kato and was pinned. Match Time: 11:39 Cole: "He threw that salt in Traci's eyes Jesse, we need some help out here"! Ventura: "But more importantly, Flair and Axl have lost the match. If this happens at Eruption, O'Haire's title won't be going anywhere"! Cole: "If what happens? If Flair shows compasion for someone else"?! Ventura: "Look.... there they are"! AS FLAIR AND IRVIN TENDED TO TRACI, SEAN O'HAIRE AND ORLANDO JORDAN CAME OUT TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP, CLAPPING. Cole: "Yeah, they may like what they see right now, but the shoe could be on the other foot at Eruption"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN CHATTING WITH VLAD THE IMPALER WHEN DYLAN JANSENS COMES UP. Dylan Jansens: "Jordan, I gotta talk to you man". Jordan Rockwell: "Sure, what is it"? Jansens: "I just wanted to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. I mean, if Thompson beats you in the Last Chance match at Eruption, you can never again become Universal champion, as long as he has it". ROCKWELL PUTS HIS HAND ON HIS SHOULDER. Rockwell: "I'm aware of that DJ, but it's not gonna happen, so why worry"? ROCKWELL GETS UP AND WALKS AWAY AS JANSENS JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD. A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN, PROMOTING TONIGHT's MAIN EVENT. Cole: "And fans tonight, a tag team tables match. Jordan Rockwell will team with Christian to face Shane Thompson and Edge.... you don't want to miss it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR BUD LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR AMERICA ONLINE. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, RENE DUPREE IS IN THE RING WAVING HIS FRENCH FLAG AND DAWN MARIE IS WITH HIM AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS. Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and folks, are you ready for a return match"?! "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND OUT COMES BAHAMUT TO A BIG POP. Ventura: "These fans here in Des Moines sure are, they didn't get enough of it last week"! Cole: "It was last week when Bahamut had a match with Rene Dupree well in hand but a mysterious white light cost him"! Ventura: "Well it's no mystery who that white ray of light belongs to Michael and in a matter of days at Eruption, Bahamut will go one on one with Mordecai". Cole: "A win over Dupree here would send him into that clash of titans with momentum but a loss could be very damaging". Bahamut vs. Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie Bahamut tried to get things over quickly in this one, looking for one homerun shot. But Dupree became very elusive and Dawn Marie got involved any way she could. As Dupree distracted referee Chris Kay, Dawn slapped Bahamut across the face. He grabbed her by the hair but Dupree came from behind with a chop block that would hinder Bahamut for the rest of the match. Dupree focused on the right leg of the big man and had him in all kinds of trouble. After consecutive right hands, Dupree hit the ropes and smashed him with a clothesline but Bahamut only went to one knee. Dupree hit the ropes again but this time Bahamut caught him with his wicked STO takedown and Dupree's head literally bounced off the ramp. He made the cover and got the 1.......2........3, which the crowd helped count. Match Time: 12:00 Cole: "Just when it looked like Dupree was gonna make it two in a row on Bahamut, bam, it's all over"! Ventura: "Bahamut has surpassed the challenge of the Frenchmen and now he focuses on the pale rider. Boy, I can't wait for that one"! Cole: "It looks like Bahamut has something to say". RING ANNOUNCER HOWARD FINKEL HANDED HIS MICROPHONE TO BAHAMUT. Bahamut: "Mordecai..... I hope you were watching. Because this (pointing down at Dupree) is what you have to look forward to. At Eruption, your one man crusade..... comes to an end"! BAHAMUT TURNS TO HAND THE MICROPHONE BACK WHEN THE WHITE RAY OF LIGHT BEAMS DOWN ON HIM AGAIN. BAHAMUT TURNS INTO THE LIGHT AND IS JUST FROZEN, STARING INTO IT. Cole: "There's that damn light again! What the hell is this"?! Ventura: "I hope Bahamut knows what he's dealing with because Mordecai says he will make him pay for his sins at Eruption". Cole: "What sins"?! RAMPAGE REPLAY SHOWS STEPHANIE McMAHON JOIN MONEY MIKE AND THE HORSEMEN ON THE MONEY PIT, REVEALING SHE WAS THE BRAINS BEHIND THEIR OPERATION ALL ALONG. Rhyno vs. Bobby Lashley For those unfamiliar with Bobby Lashley of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Michael Cole filled them in on his impressive list of accolades. Not only was he an amatuer wrestler in the army, but he won 3 national championships at Missouri Valley college and won the NAIA National wrestling championship not long after that. Rhyno didn't care what the newcomer had done, trying to welcome him to PrimeTime the hard way. Lashley, who has freakish power, proved he was up to the task, leaving Rhyno surprised. Rhyno got in a kick to the stomach and shot him to the ropes but missed with a clothesline. Lashley hit the ropes on the other side but Rhyno was waiting for him with an Arn Anderson-like spinebuster. Rhyno positioned himself in the corner, looking to run Lashley over with the "Gore". But Lashley saw it coming, scrambling out of the way but bouncing off the ropes and just slamming into Rhyno with a jumping, football tackle move, although he stayed on his feet. Rhyno richocheted off him like a tennis ball and that led to a move in which Lashley set him up for a powerbomb but flipped him over face first onto the mat, rolling him over and hooking the leg for the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 7:40 Cole: "Oh my God, can you believe this"?! Ventura: "I don't remember the last time I saw a debut that impressive Michael! That's a former Universal champion he just beat"! LASHLEY CELEBRATED ON THE TURNBUCKLE AS THE FANS APPLAUDED HIS PERFORMANCE. Cole: "Fans and superstars of PrimeTime alike, take notes. Bobby Lashley has arrived"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR AXE BODY SPRAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BURGER KING. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... PRIMETIME RETURNS TO SHOW FRANKIE KAZARIAN ON HIS WAY TO THE RING TO HIS MUSIC. Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime folks as we continue with the action here on FOX"! Ventura: "And what a match this should be, two of the better athletes that PrimeTime has to offer". PAUL LONDON's MUSIC HITS AND HE RUNS OUT TO A VERY BIG REACTION. Cole: "And here comes the former Lightheavyweight champion who has had a couple of great matches with Kazarian on Uprising in the last few weeks"! Ventura: "London has been on the winning side of both of those but I expect to see a change tonight, Frankie Kazarian looks focused". Cole: "Two similar style wrestlers who know each other's style well. Sit back and enjoy folks"! Frankie Kazarian vs. Paul London Much like their two matches on Uprising, this match was excellent. Kazarian ran right into a deep arm drag to start the match before catching him with a double underhook belly to belly throw. London went for a quick cover but Kazarian was up. London shot him to the corner and ran in but Kazarian moved as he left his feet. London landed on the middle turnbuckle and went for a moonsault but Kazarian caught him and delivered a tombstone piledriver! He made a pin but London kicked out at 2. Kazarian pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes, using a leapfrog. But when he went down for a monkey flip, London grabbed both of his feet and spun him around in a circle. When a dizzy Kazarian got up, London drilled him with a spinning wheel kick. London picked him up but Kazarian used a nice go behind before delivering a release german suplex. London landed hard on the back of his head as Kazarian went to the apron to ascend the turnbuckle. London got to his feet and Kazarian jumped off but London showed uncanny awareness, catching him with his dropsault in mid air. The crowd loved the move but it wasn't enough to get a 3 count. London decided to try for a high risk move of his own, looking for the 450 splash. But Kazarian got his knees up into his gut on the way down. Kazarian then lifted him up onto his shoulder and delivered a spinning torcher rack bomb into a cover, hooking the leg to get the 1......2........3. Match Time: 7:57 Ventura: "He got him"! Cole: "Frankie Kazarian has gotten a huge win here over a man who had defeated him twice, and what a move to do it with"! KAZARIAN LEFT TO A MIXED REACTION AS LONDON PICKED HIMSELF OFF THE MAT. Ventura: "That was the kind of competition that only PrimeTime can offer folks, what a match"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW BATISTA AND THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ANIMAL AND HEIDENREICH ARE DISCUSSING STRATEGY FOR THEIR LATER 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH. BATISTA TELLS THEM BOTH THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, HE WANTS RANDY ORTON ALL TO HIMSELF. RICK "THE MODEL" MARTEL CONDUCTS THE FASHION SHOW AND INTRODUCES "THE MASTERPIECE" CHRIS MASTERS. MARTEL TELLS THE FANS TO OPEN THEIR EYES AND START RECOGNIZE MASTERS, SOON TO BE ONE OF THE TOP SUPERSTARS THE TWF HAS TO OFFER, WITH HIM AS HIS PERSONAL ADVISOR. BUT TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT TO REIGN ON THEIR PARADE, KNOCKING MARTEL DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND. MASTERS THROWS A RIGHT OF HIS OWN BUT TAYLOR DUCKS AND THROWS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO ONE OF THE MIRRORS ON THE SET. THE CROWD LETS OUT A ROAR AS TAYLOR LEAVES AND MASTERS IS BUSTED OPEN. 6 Man Tag Team Match Batista and the New Road Warriors vs. Randy Orton and The Brood Animal and Gangrel were the only ones to get into the match officially, before it broke out. Orton tried to attack Batista from behind but after two shots to the back of the head, he hit the ropes and Batista drilled him with his signature spinebuster. Orton wanted no more, rolling out of the ring and leaving the match. Animal and Heidenreich then combined for a double clothesline on Johnny Swinger before Batista pulled Gangrel in for his "Batista Bomb" and an emphatic 3 count. As Batista's music played, he held onto the top rope, staring a hole through Orton, who backed away, holding his lower back. Match Time: 4:39 BACKSTAGE...... AS THE SHOT GOES BACKSTAGE, IDALIS IS SHOWN WITH MUHAMMED HASSAN AND TIGER ALI SINGH WHO ARE IN FRONT OF A BLOWN UP PICTURE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY SICK MAN. Idalis: "Ladies and gentlemen, Muhammad Hassan and Tiger Ali Singh". Muhammad Hassan (looking at the picture): "Take a good look people! Take a good look at Chris Platoon, the man trying to make himself out to be some sort of hero lately. Well in this picture, you can see his body was ravaged with cancer! But by some miracle, he survived. He survived only because of the fact that he got treatment outside of the United States, where patients are cared for regardless of their health plan! Those foreign doctors are the real heroes Platoon, not you! But at Eruption, I'm not gonna give you any more chances! At Eruption Platoon, you will be destroyed for all these dispicable American people to see"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR VERIZON WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DR. PEPPER. RETURN FROM BREAK...... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT WITH TIGER ALI SINGH TO A VERY NEGATIVE REACTION. Cole: "Can you believe the comments this jerk just made"?! Ventura: "Nothing surprises me out of Hassan anymore, I just want someone to make him pay and make him pay dearly for his behavior"! "TNT" BY AC/DC BLARES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "Well that person could very well be this man! Vlad is chomping at the bit to get into the ring with his former tag team partner Chaos Wolf at Eruption in what will be a stretcher match"! Ventura: "That is one of the big matches on the card for Eruption which we will go over after this match but I hope you're right Cole! I'd love to see Vlad hand Hassan his ass"! Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh vs. Vlad the Impaler Before this match could even get started, a fired up Chris Platoon ran out and attacked Hassan. The two brawled out of the ring and into the crowd. The fans parted as the two men traded shots, brawling out of sight. Cole: "There ya go Platoon, beat the hell out of him"! Ventura: "Those two are going to meet officially at Eruption in what will be a huge challenge for Platoon"! Cole: "Well I can virtually guarantee one thing! Platoon has already overcome his greatest challenge, Hassan better realize both the physical and mental toughness of that man"! JUST THEN, CHAOS WOLF APPEARED ON THE PRIMETRON IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, A STRETCHER NEXT TO HIM. VLAD LOOKED ON FROM THE RING AND SAW A WAX DUMMY OF HIMSELF LAID OUT ON THE STRETCHER. Ventura: "What the........ Chaos Wolf: "Hey Vlad, does this guy look familiar? That's right, it's you. You see, I have been waiting to do this for so long. You never really were my friend, I just made it seem that way, using you due to the fact that you've been in the TWF longer than I have. But Vlad, what a lot of people don't realize is that you and I have known each other a good part of our lives. These people don't know the real Vlad, the one who would've done the same thing I did if given the oppurtunity. (He looks down at the dummy) You see Vlad, what you are looking at here is your fate and at Eruption, you will meet your destiny". CHAOS WOLF PULLS A SHEET OVER THE DUMMY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. VLAD IS SHOWN WITH A VERY SERIOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE. Cole: "That was a very chilling visual, but that stretcher match has the potential to be career threatening folks"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH THE ERUPTION BACKGROUND WHICH IS A VOLCANO WITH LAVA FLOWING OUT. ON ONE SIDE IS CHAOS WOLF AND ON THE OTHER, VLAD THE IMPALER. IN THE CENTER OF THE TWO IS A STRETCHER. Ventura: "It is going to be a war at Eruption Michael, and that is just one of eight big matches"! PROMO GRAPHICS ARE SHOWN FOR THE REST OF THE MATCHES. Cole: "And one of those will see another battle of former friends as Batista battles Randy Orton"! Ventura: "They've met on pay-per-view before with Batista winning, can Orton get the win that could transform him into one of the top superstars in the TWF for years to come"? Cole: "What about Chris Platoon versus Muhammad Hassan"? Ventura: "We heard what Hassan had to say about Platoon earlier, but like you said, Platoon ahs already defeated his greatest challenge in cancer, I don't think he sweats Hassan"! Cole: "In a tag team match where the Intercontinental title can change hands, Axl Irvin and Ric Flair face Sean O'Haire and Orlando Jordan"! Ventura: "Axl Irvin calls himself the uncrowned champion, but don't forget that the Nature Boy could win the title too"! Cole: "And what's gonna happen when Bahamut faces Mordecai"?! Ventura: "Mordecai promises to make Bahamut pay for his sins and I know you said what sins earlier. All I can say is ask the pale rider"! Cole: "We saw what happened earlier on the Fashion Show but at Eruption, Taylor Made and Chris Masters go one on one in a rubber match"! Ventura: "Taylor might have Sable but don't forget about the new personal advisor of The Masterpiece.... Rick Martel". Cole: "Who will be the new number one contender when the longstanding history of Edge and Christian takes center stage"? Ventura: "This may be the best match on the card in my opinion and I can't wait to see these two battle it out"! "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY "METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE. Cole: "And here comes one of those men now as we get set for our tag team tables match"! Ventura: "You could be looking at the next number one contender for the Universal title here folks". "WAITING TO DIE" BY HED COMES ON AND SHANE THOMPSON COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. Cole: "And now that we're on the subject of the Universal title, have we seen the last time this man will wear the belt around his waist"? Ventura: "Well it will be the last chance for someone at Eruption when Jordan Rockwell and Shane Thompson go at it in the TLC match"! "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND CHRISTIAN COMES OUT IN A WHITE AND BLACK OUTFIT AND A HOOD OVER HIS HEAD AND FACE. Cole: "Edge and Christian have had many battles in the past, but maybe none more important than the one they will have in Pittsburgh at TWF Eruption"! Ventura: "The winner of that match will become the number one contender to the winner of the Rockwell-Thompson match so if you think about it, two men who are partners tonight could be facing each other very soon"! "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO AN AMAZING RESPONSE, HOLDING HIS HARDCORE TITLE IN ONE HAND AND THE UNIVERSAL IN THE OTHER. Cole: "And somehow I don't think that will be a problem for any of these guys as none of them get along particularly well"! Ventura: "But the team that uses the best teamwork is gonna win this match, this is not a match you can win on your own". Tag Team Tables Match Jordan Rockwell and Christian vs. Shane Thompson and Edge Quickly into the match, Edge and Christian sought each other out as did Rockwell and Thompson. There was few attempts to use the tables until Rockwell backdropped Thompson over the top rope to the floor. But after putting Christian on the mat with the Downward Spiral, Edge took Rockwell out with a baseball slide as he went to the floor. But Thompson decided he had enough, leaving the ring and walking up the ramp, taking a long stare at the Universal title before doing so. As Rockwell got up, he watched Thompson walk away before catching a lowblow from Edge. But Christian came from behind, smashing Edge in the back of the head with a steel chair. Christian and Rockwell then set up a table on the floor and Rockwell held Edge down on it as Christian came off the top rope with a flying body splash, smashing through Edge as the bell sounded. Match Time: 7:17 Cole: "That does it! Edge has been put through a table"! Ventura: "Thompson left Edge high and dry"! Cole: "He was able to get out easy tonight but if he wants to be the man on PrimeTime again, he has to survive Tables, Ladders and Chairs"! CHRISTIAN LEFT THE RING AS ROCKWELL CELEBRATED WITH THE CROWD BEFORE THE CAMERAS GOT ONE MORE LOOK AT EDGE, WHO WAS LAYING ON THE BROKEN TABLE. OFF AIR.......
