October 25, 2005
It was the first time PrimeTime came to Salt Lake City since April 2002 and the fans were definitely eager for the show to get started, knowing that superstars such as Jordan Rockwell, Ric Flair and Rob Van Dam were all scheduled for the show. Mariner vs. Psychosis Psychosis went to his lucha libre style and hit an impressive corkscrew suicide dive outside the ring. But when he dropped his head too soon off an irish whip, Mariner kicked him in the chest and then hit the "H-Bomb" for the win. Tanaka w/ Sonny Onoo and Kato vs. Animal w/ Heidenreich Two of the most experienced wrestlers in all of the TWF met in singles action here and it was Tanaka who took the fight to Animal and locked him in a painful nerve hold. But Animal, knowing Heidenreich was beaten by Kato last week, fought back and after reversing an irish whip, he caught Tanaka with his big powerslam to get the 3 count. Taylor Made w/ Sable vs. Edge With the lovely Sable at ringside, Taylor Made was in control, looking to pull the upset. But when he came off the top rope, he seemed to tweak his left knee and as he hobbled around, Edge hit the ropes and blasted him with the spear to get the victory. EDGE LEFT AS "METALINGUS" PLAYED WHILE IN THE RING, SABLE CHECKED ON TAYLOR MADE, SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF CONCERN AS HE GRABBED HIS LEFT KNEE. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE IMAGES OF PRIMETIME's SUPERSTARS ARE SHOWN INSIDE THE OPENING MONTAGE AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" BY CYPRESS HILL LEADS IN. THE E CENTER, PACKED WITH OVER TEN THOUSAND FANS IS SHOWN AND THEY ARE GOING WILD. Michael Cole: "We are live inside the E Center in Salt Lake City! Thank you all for joining us tonight for TWF PrimeTime and what a big show we have tonight Jesse"! BOBBY LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Jesse Ventura: "And talk about big, take a look at this monster"! Cole: "Bobby Lashley is the size of some of the homes around here Jesse, this guy is just a beast"! Ventura: "And he's had an extremely impressive first couple of weeks here on PrimeTime and one can imagine that he will only continue to get better". RENE DUPREE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO SOME MAJOR BOOS, MAINLY BECAUSE HE IS PROUDLY WAVING HIS FRENCH FLAG. Cole: "Rene Dupree will provide the opposition and although he has been a very formidable superstar here on PrimeTime, I don't like his chances here tonight". Ventura: "Dupree will not be imtimidated by Lashley's size.... he's seen guys like this before". DUPREE GOT INTO THE RING AND WENT INTO HIS "FRENCH TICKLER" DANCE BUT LASHLEY FLEXED HIS MASSIVE ARMS AND DUPREE's EYES LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO COME OUT OF HIS HEAD. Cole: "Sure about that partner"? Rene Dupree vs. Bobby Lashley After avoiding a clothesline, Dupree tagged Lashley with 3 straight right hands before going for an irish whip but Lashley reversed it and caught him with a huge spinebuster. After a big elbow drop, he pulled Dupree up and threw him across the ring with a double underhook suplex. Lashley was all charged up as he shot Dupree to the corner but when he charged in, Dupree caught him with a back elbow followed by a hard clothesline. It didn't knock him down though and he recovered to pick the right leg of Dupree, shooting him over his head into the air. Dupree hit the mat hard but found himself there again after a running powerslam that rocked the ring. That led to Lashley's reverse Dominator manuever and the 1......2.........3. Match Time: 7:59 Cole: "Did you see him flip Dupree into the air?! This man's an animal Jesse"! LASHLEY LEFT TO HIS MUSIC AS DUPREE TRIED TO PICK HIMSELF UP. Ventura: "He's big, he's young and he's hungry! Not a good combination for the rest of the locker room". Cole: "I am so glad we have this guy here and we can follow his career because big things are coming folks"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS PICK UP IDALIS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH FRANKIE KAZARIAN. Idalis: "Last week on PrimeTime, Paul London regained the Lightheavyweight title against the man he lost it to, Super Crazy. But surprisingly, it was this man who helped him get the win. Frankie, can you explain your actions"? Frankie Kazarian: "Of course I can RuPaul. Last week, I helped Paul London win the title back because when I win it, I want to win it from him. So London, I know....... JUST THEN, SUPER CRAZY, PSYCHOSIS AND ESSA RIOS COME UP. Super Crazy: "Hey, you want to mess with my match?! Tonight, you and me, you and me"! Kazarian: "Okay, if I understood that correctly, Pancho Villa here wants a match with me tonight. (Laughs) That's fine with me, let's just hope you ate your wheaties, or should I say menudo, today". KAZARIAN WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR L'OREAL PARIS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR "BROTHERS IN ARMS" FOR PS2 AND XBOX. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW A CONVERSATION BETWEEN RIC FLAIR AND AXL IRVIN. TRACI BROOKS IS SHOWN NEARBY WHEN RANDY ORTON COMES UP. Randy Orton: "Hey guys, big match tonight huh? (laughs) Ric, you're killin' me man. Did you find the handicap parking spot when you pulled in? Look man, all I'm trying to say is that enough is enough, it's time to call it quits. But since you won't do it yourself, I'm gonna do it for you, and I'm gonna do it tonight". FLAIR LOOKS READY TO RESPOND BUT AXL STEPS UP. Axl Irvin: "Not without goin' through me first". Orton: (laughs) "We'll see about that". BACK IN THE RING, LA FAMILIA's MUSIC WAS PLAYING AND SUPER CRAZY STOOD WITH PSYCHOSIS AND ESSA RIOS. Cole: "What a cocky punk Randy Orton is"! Ventura: "I was just waiting for Flair to throw a right hand, but apparently he's a little more mild-mannered than he used to be". FRANKIE KAZARIAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS, SMILING ARROGANTLY INTO THE CROWD. Cole: "That big tag team match will come up a little later tonight but right now, Frankie Kazarian is gonna face Super Crazy after we saw them nearly come to blows backstage earlier". Ventura: "Well Super Crazy and La Familia are still mad over the way he lost the Lightheavyweight title last week and frankly, I don't blame them". Cole: "Kazarian claimed that he helped London win the title so he can be the one to take it from him, but he's gonna have to beat Super Crazy first". Super Crazy w/ Psychosis and Essa Rios vs. Frankie Kazarian This was a very athletic contest between 2 of the better pure wrestlers on the roster. Inside a standing side headlock, Kazarian dropped to one knee and tripped Crazy up before hitting the ropes but Crazy came back with a flying arm drag followed by a big hip toss. After hitting the ropes, he drilled Kazarian with a dropkick. Crazy pulled him up and shot him to the corner before charging in and hitting a beautiful flying corkscrew splash. Kazarian stumbled out of the corner, only to be taken to the mat by a jumping facebuster. Crazy rolled him over and hooked the leg but 2 was all he could get. Crazy grabbed him in a front facelock, looking for some sort of suplex. But Kazarian countered and took him to the mat with a reverse swinging neckbreaker. He then hit the ropes, jumping up and driving the point of his knee into the head of Crazy. He made the cover, using his forearm across the bridge of Crazy's nose but Crazy kicked out at 2. Kazarian kept the pressure on, trying to keep Crazy close to the mat. But after missing with front kick off an irish whip, Kazarian got drilled by a flying forearm. Crazy then got up and shot Kazarian to the corner, following in with a flying reverse kick to the throat before landing on the apron. Crazy then went to the top rope, looking for a moonsault. But Kazarian recovered and right as Crazy flew off, Kazarian pushed him up and Crazy completed the flip, landing face first on the mat. Kazarian then delivered the Wave of the Future but both Rios and Psychosis got on the apron. Referee Mike Enos came over and forced Psychosis to the floor and Kazarian drilled Rios with a running kick to the face. But from the crowd came Paul London and he used his newly won Lightheavyweight title, hitting Kazarian in the face. Crazy then hit a springboard moonsault off the middle ring rope and hooked the leg as Enos counted the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 13:33 Cole: "Paul London just cost Kazarian the match"! Ventura: "What the heck is going on?! Someone basically wins a title for you and this is the thanks he gets"?! LONDON HELD UP HIS TITLE AFTER JUMPING BACK IN THE CROWD AND KAZARIAN LOOKED ON FROM IN THE RING, SEETHING AS LA FAMILIA's MUSIC PLAYED. Cole: "We all know there's no love loss between Kazarian and London but this is bizarre"! BACKSTAGE........ BATISTA IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN CHRISTIAN COMES UP. Christian: "Batista, I've been looking all over this dump for ya". Batista: (with a weird look on his face) "Why"? Christian: "Well, I know you have a match with Johnny Swinger tonight, ya know, the "Lost Boy". I think the only thing he's lost is a chance to be something. But anyway, I know Gangrel will try to get involved, I used to hang with the guy, I know how he works. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be glad to watch your back". Batista: "Uh, I don't think that's such a good idea... thanks anyway". BATISTA SHAKES HIS HEAD AND LEAVES THE LOCKER ROOM. BUT AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY, HE SEES A BIG BLACK MAN WITH A PAINTED FACE WHO IS SWINGING A LARGE CLOCK. IT's THE BOOGEYMAN. The Boogeyman: "As it gets closer, closer to them seeing what I am capable of, I can smell the fear, I can taste it in the air. The clock is ticking.... tick, tock....tick, tock. Soon, soon your fears will become reality, your nightmares will come to life. I'm the Boogeyman, and I'm comin' to get ya"! THE BOOGEYMAN TAKES THE CLOCK AND SMASHES IT OVER HIS HEAD. IT BREAKS INTO SEVERAL PIECES AS HE WALKS AWAY, LAUGHING. Batista: (to himself) "Isn't it just a little early for Halloween? What the hell was that about"? CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH RICK MARTEL WHO IS SPRAYING HIS ARROGANCE AS MASTERS FLEXES AFTER REMOVING HIS CAPE. Cole: "I guess that was a generous offer from Christian but Batista seems to want no part of it". Ventura: "I'm still trying to figure out what the hell that Boogeyman was talking about". PYRO FIRES OFF THE SET AS "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. Cole: "Yeah, he seems to have a way with words. But folks, the last time we were with you for PrimeTime, Rick Martel asked for someone to challenge Chris Masters and after they went into the back looking for a fight, I think they got a little more than they bargained for"! Ventura: "Well you may think that Cole but the fact is that RVD attacked Masters from behind. Tonight, he'll have to prove he can beat him face to face". RVD GOT LOOSE A LITTLE MORE AS MASTERS TRIED TO INTIMIDATE HIM WITH HIS IMPOSING PHYSIQUE. Cole: "RVD a former multiple time Universal champion will have his hands full with the powerhouse Masters as these two meet for the first time ever". Rob Van Dam vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters w/ Rick Martel RVD did his best to avoid getting in close with Masters, instead using his deadly feet to take it to the young superstar. After grabbing Masters' right arm, Van Dam kicked him several times in the ribs and then once in the face. He followed that with a spinning legdrop before bouncing off the ropes again but Masters rose up with a stiff clothesline. From there, Masters locked in a chinlock while driving a knee into his back. For the next several minutes, Van Dam struggled against the power of Masters, who just wore him down, keeping him on the mat. Finally, he got to his feet, and drove 2 elbows into the midsection but just as he was about to break free, Masters ripped him down by his ponytail. This drew a warning from referee Charles Robinson but Masters responded to that by lifting RVD up in a military press and slamming him to the mat. After yelling "That's it" into the crowd, Masters called for the "Masterlock". But when he went to slip it on, RVD rolled forward and flipped Masters over him with his feet. Masters got up and ducked a spinning heel kick but RVD took him down with a back footsweep followed by the Rolling Thunder. He made the cover and got the 1........2........, but that was it. Masters knew he was in trouble and he pulled Robinson out of position as RVD went to the top rope, looking for the split-legged moonsault. But while he was up there, Martel gave him a spray of arrogance right in the face and RVD fell to the mat. RVD furiously grabbed at his face and eyes as Masters waited over him. When RVD got up to one knee, Masters slapped on the "Masterlock". It was clear RVD's eyes were burning and Robinson called for the bell, giving the match to Masters. Match Time: 12:43 Cole: "You gotta be kidding me! Martel sprayed him with that damn perfume"! Ventura: "It's a fragrance Cole, not a perfume! Besides, Masters had him beat anyway"! MASTERS AND MARTEL SEEMED VERY SATISFIED AS THEY LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS. IN THE RING, EMTS CHECKED ON RVD. Cole: "Is there something wrong with your monitor?! Cause that's not what I saw! Let's just hope RVD hasn't suffered serious damage here"! BACKSTAGE...... VLAD THE IMPALER AND DYLAN JANSENS ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN CHAE COMES UP. Chae: "Oh, there you are Vlad. I just thought I'd let you know that Chaos Wolf wants you in the ring, in a rematch tonight so he can prove the stretcher match was a fluke". Vlad the Impaler: "A fluke huh"? Dylan Jansens: "Come on Vlad, you don't want to do this, you already beat him". Vlad: "He wants a rematch, that's all I need to hear. I'm going to the ring". VLAD WALKS AWAY AND CHAE JUST SMILES. Cole: "Wow, it sounds like we've got Chaos Wolf taking on Vlad...... tonight"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CAREERBUILDER.COM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR AMERICAN EXPRESS. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CHAOS WOLF AND CHAE ARE IN THE RING. Chaos Wolf: "Come on Vlad, I know you're in the back! Get your ass out....... "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT TO A HUGE ROAR. Cole: "Here he comes Chaos, looks like you got your wish"! Ventura: "Well be careful what you wish for Chaos, Vlad already beat you in a stretcher match"! Cole: "This of course is a rematch.... oh here we go"! CHAE SCRAMBLED OUT OF THE RING AS CHAOS WOLF PUT THE BOOTS TO VLAD THE SECOND HE ENTERED. Chaos Wolf w/ Chae vs. Vlad the Impaler Chaos Wolf was all over Vlad from the opening bell, smashing him with some hard right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a back elbow. But after reversing an irish whip, Vlad kicked Wolf right in the face. But suddenly, Dylan Jansens ran out and got into the ring. He acted as if he was going to stop the match but instead turned and drilled Vlad with a right forearm. The bell sounded as Chaos Wolf and Jansens beat the heck out of Vlad together. Cole: "What the hell is this?! This was a damn set up"! Ventura: "It's what used to be known as the New Breed! They're beating the hell out of each other"! AFTER DOING QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE, CHAOS WOLF AND JANSENS HELD VLAD UP AS CHAE SMACKED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. "IN THE END" BY LINKIN PARK THEN HIT AS CHAE RAISED THE ARMS OF BOTH MEN. Cole: "I just don't believe what I'm seeing! Jansens has aligned himself with that son of a bitch Chaos Wolf"! Ventura: "He just got sick of playing peacemaker Cole"! FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF NAILS BEING UNMASKED AFTER HIS MATCH WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL FOLLOWED BY THE LOOK ON ROCKWELL's FACE AS A VOICE BEGINS TO SPEAK. "Did you really think it would be that easy? After all these years, I would just give up like that? NEVER!!!!!! And now, when you see me again, I will be out to inflict more damage, to cause more pain and suffering! You will all know the way I feel, because I am going to make you feel the exact same way"! NAILS........ RETURNING SOON........ BACKSTAGE....... THE BROOD's MUSIC CAN BE HEARD INSIDE THE ARENA AS JORDAN ROCKWELL FINDS BATISTA ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey Dave". Batista: "What's up Rock? Can you believe that little chump Christian offered to watch my back tonight? Like I'm gonna fall for that". Rockwell: "Fall for what? Give him a chance man, he's not all bad". "Lost Boy" Johnny Swinger w/ Gangrel vs. Batista Swinger couldn't muster much offense against the monster Batista, let alone get him off his feet. After catching him coming off the top rope, Batista ran him hard into the corner before turning him inside out with a clothesline. After charging the fans with his thumbs down signal, he delivered the "Batista Bomb" for the convincing win. Match Time: 6:09 AFTER THE MATCH, GANGREL CAME INTO THE RING WITH A CHOP BLOCK ON BATISTA AND HE AND SWINGER BEGAN TO TAKE IT TO HIM. JUST AS IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE SET TO DELIVER THEIR DOUBLE IMPALER DDT, CHRISTIAN RAN OUT TO A BIG POP AND CLEARED THE RING OF BOTH OF THE BROOD. BATISTA LOOKED SURPRISED AS HIS MUSIC KICKED UP AGAIN. Cole: "It's Christian to the rescue! How weird is this scene"?! Ventura: "It's amazing what'll happen if you just give someone a chance"! BATISTA LEFT THE RING, STILL LOOKING UNSURE ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION. PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL...... BACKSTAGE..... INSIDE A CIRCLE OF BURNING CANDLES, MORDECAI IS SHOWN LOOKING AT THE PET BLACK WIDOW OF SEAN O'HAIRE's. JUST THEN, O'HAIRE COMES UP. Sean O'Haire: "I gotta tell ya, I liked how you took care of my Orlando Jordan problem last week. Now, I think I might be able to help you. MORDECAI HAS YET TO LOOK UP. All of the sinners here on PrimeTime, and I know there are plenty of them, I can help you with that problem..... if you trust me that is". MORDECAI LOOKS UP FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF HIS ROBE WITH A HALF GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW DODGE CHARGER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NFL ON FOX. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SUPER CRAZY, PSYCHOSIS AND ESSA RIOS ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK, TAKING TURNS TAKING TURNS TAKING SWIGS FROM A BOTTLE OF TEQUILA WHILE CELEBRATING CRAZY's EARLIER WIN. JUST THEN, CHAVO GUERRERO COMES UP. Chavo Guerrero: "Hey! Who do you guys think you are?! THE THREE MEN LOOK CONFUSED AND SURPRISED. Last week, I took a beating from Lashley and you guys were nowhere to be found! But tonight.... tonight you are like the three amigos! You're all a bunch of losers and now, everyone is gonna find that out. I don't need any of you anymore". CHAVO WALKS AWAY AND THE THREE MEN LOOK A LITTLE WORRIED BUT PSYCHOSIS SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS AND DOWNS SOME MORE TEQUILA. A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED. ON ONE SIDE IS CHRIS PLATOON AND ON THE OTHER IS MUHAMMAD HASSAN AND TIGER ALI SINGH WHO ARE ALL BEHIND THE CHAIN LINK FENCE OF A STEEL CAGE. Ventura: "Did La Familia just break up"? Cole: "Kinda looks that way partner but fans huge news announced for the next PrimeTime as Muhammad Hassan will battle Chris Platoon inside a steel cage! I can't wait"! "MISTERRRRR KENNEDYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND MOSTLY BOOS, ALTHOUGH SOME CHEERS ARE HEARD. Ventura: "Well here's the match I've been lookin' forward to! What a superstar this guy is becoming"! Cole: "I gotta give ya that one, Ken Kennedy has bursted onto the scene here on PrimeTime and is becoming a major player"! "BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE PLAYS AND GOLD PYRO FLOWS DOWN FROM ABOVE THE PRIMETIME SET AS RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Ventura: "And he's teaming up with this guy! This might just be the perfect team everybody"! Cole: "I still can't believe what Randy Orton had the nerve to say to Ric Flair earlier, especially being a former protege of the Nature Boy". "WOOOOOOO" IS HEARD AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AND THE TRIO OF RIC FLAIR, AXL IRVIN AND TRACI MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE AISLE. Ventura: "Ric Flair is no doubt the greatest of all time, I will never change that opinion, but what Orton said is starting to ring true. He can't do this forever folks"! Cole: "Ric Flair has seen it all, he's done it all, but right now, I think his main objective is to pass that knowledge and experience on to young Axl Irvin and I know for a fact that Axl knows how fortunate he is to have that". Randy Orton and Ken Kennedy vs. Ric Flair and Axl Irvin w/ Traci Orton and Kennedy comprised a very solid team early, taking it to Flair after Orton caught him with a powerslam. Flair fought with all he had to get back into it, reminiscent of the tag team match at Eruption. But each time he got up, he was knocked back down. But after being shot to the corner, Flair caught Kennedy with a back elbow as he ran in before tagging in Axl. Kennedy fell back far enough and was able to bring Orton into the match. But Axl beat him to the punch, knocking him to the mat after a third right hand. But when he hit the ropes, Kennedy got a knee up in his back. Orton followed that with a backbreaker where he pulled Axl down across his own back. But Orton then spotted Flair and rather than following up on Axl, he and Kennedy picked the Nature Boy up, looking to deliver a spike piledriver. But Axl recovered and knocked Kennedy off the top turnbuckle to the floor outside the ring. Orton released Flair and stung Axl with 2 straight jabs before going for the "RKO" but Axl countered, pushing him towards Flair who smashed him with a knifedge chop and Axl followed that up with the "Axl Cutter" to get the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 7:07 Cole: "Yes! He got him! Axl Irvin has pinned Randy Orton"! Ventura: "He countered the RKO, but if you think about it, two people can usually beat one"! "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HIT AS TRACI RAISED THE ARMS OF BOTH MEN AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERED. Cole: "Orton decided to try to take out Flair but as promised, Axl wasn't going to allow it"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS CATCH JORDAN ROCKWELL AND CHRISTIAN, BOTH WITH THEIR STUFF, ABOUT TO LEAVE THE ARENA. JUST THEN, SHANE McMAHON RUNS UP. Shane McMahon: "Jordan, you better get your ring gear on man". Jordan Rockwell: "Why, what is it"? Shane: "I was just told that someone has accepted the Hardcore Open and they want the match tonight". Rockwell: "Who is it"? Shane: "I didn't get a name, I just know that the person is here and wants the match tonight". Rockwell: "Fine....... ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY WITH A DETERMINED LOOK ON HIS FACE. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR TWF DOOMSDAY.... A RAMPAGE PRODUCTION. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, JORDAN ROCKWELL IS IN THE RING WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE, THROWING UP HIS HANDS AS IF TO ASK WHO HIS OPPONENT IS. Cole: "Breaking news just before we went to commercial Jesse.... someone has accepted the Hardcore Open"! Ventura: "I forgot all about this thing, but apparently someone didn't". Cole: "Who is it?! JUST THEN, A FAMILIAR TUNE HITS AS IF IT WERE A CIRCUS AND OUT COMES..... DOINK THE CLOWN. Cole: "Doink the Clown"? Ventura: "I gotta say, this idiot was one of the last people I wanted to see come out". DOINK IS CARRYING A PACKAGE AND HE GETS INTO THE RING, HANDING IT TO ROCKWELL AS REFEREE MIKE CHIODA CALLS FOR THE BELL. Hardcore Open/TWF Hardcore Title Match Challenger: Doink the Clown vs. Jordan Rockwell Rockwell took the present from Doink which exploded with confetti when he opened it. Doink jumped up and down in excitement but Rockwell was less than amused. After some more fun and games, Doink finally offered a handshake but he still had his bright red coat on. Rockwell took the bait and it was a fake hand. A frustrated Rockwell fired the hand into the crowd but an alert Doink slid behind him and rolled him up for the quick 3 count! Match Time: 4:06 Cole: "What the hell"?! Ventura: "The Hardcore title just changed hands without one single foreign object being used"! Cole: "This crowd is stunned! And not only that, but now Rockwell has to live up to his end of the deal and strap the belt around the waist of Doink"! AS DOINK JUMPED UP AND DOWN, A DEJECTED ROCKWELL GOT THE BELT AND WRAPPED IT AROUND HIS WAIST. DOINK's MUSIC THEN HIT AS HE LEFT THE RING. Ventura: "Absolutely unbelievable! I wonder how that must've made Rockwell feel"! Cole: "This has to be the biggest upset of the year! Doink the Clown is the new Hardcore champion"! ONCE AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP, DOINK PULLED OFF HIS GREEN HAIRED WIG AND PEELED SOME OF THE PAINT OFF HIS FACE. Ventura: "Oh my gosh.... what a genius"! Cole: "It can't be...... Doink the Clown is..... Shane Thompson"! FADE TO BLACK OFF AIR.........
