August 21, 2003 marked the last time PrimeTime was in the Target Center. A little over 2 years later, the stars returned to put on one heck of a show. Mariner vs. Sakoda Mariner was able to stave off the martial artist Sakoda and open the night with a victory after hitting him with the "H-Bomb". "Money Man" Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Ultimo Dragon The Dragon was giving up a lot of size and strength to Conway but he seemed like the better man in the match, especially after hitting the Asai moonsault. But Dibiase got involved, distracting him long enough for Conway to recover and hit a wicked spinning neckbreaker drop after a kick to the gut. "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYED AND DIBIASE LET OUT HIS TRADEMARK LAUGH AS HE AND CONWAY LEFT TO THE BACK, SHOWERED BY BOOS. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF JORDAN ROCKWELL GETTING DUPED OUT OF THE HARDCORE TITLE BY DOINK THE CLOWN WHO MOMENTS LATER WAS REVEALED AS SHANE THOMPSON. THAT LEADS INTO PRIMETIME's MONTAGE AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" STARTS TO PLAY. THE TARGET CENTER IS THEN BROUGHT UP IN THE SHOT AND FANS ARE SHOWN CROWDING ALL THREE LEVELS OF THE BEAUTIFUL ARENA AS THE SILVER AND ORANGE RING SETS DOWN ON THE FLOOR. Michael Cole: "We are in the land of ten thousand lakes and my partner here tonight knows a thing or two about this place"! Jesse Ventura: "You got that right Michael, it's great to be back in Minnesota, possibly the greatest state in all the U.S. of A"! Cole: "Let me guess, you had a little to do with that, right"? Ventura: "Don't ask questions you already know the answer to Cole". "MISTERRRRR KENNEDY" IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND A MIXED REACTION. Cole: "What a way to start this night off as two of the young guns here on PrimeTime are gonna go one on one"! Ventura: "This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorites Michael, he'd make a great politician"! A MICROPHONE LOWERS FROM ABOVE THE RING AND KENNEDY REACHES UP AND SNATCHES IT. Ken Kennedy: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. I weigh in tonight at an amazing two hundred and forty four pounds, I hail from the home of the team that has absolutely owned the Minnesota Vikings..... Green Bay, Wisconsin! Misterrrrrrrr Kennnedy! BOOS START TO POUR DOWN ON KENNEDY AS HE GOES TO ONE OF THE TURNBUCKLES AND CLIMBS TO THE SECOND POST, PLACING THE MIC NEXT TO HIS MOUTH. Kennedy"! Ventura: "Wow, this guy is great. Tell me he wouldn't make a good politician people". PAUL LONDON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES RUNNING OUT WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "No I'll agree with ya there, he'd be a great debater. But his opponent tonight is great in a lot of ways especially since regaining the Lightheavyweight title"! Ventura: "And he still hasn't thanked Frankie Kazarian for getting it for him". Cole: "London has been on a bit of a hot streak of late but he'll have his hands full here with Mister Kennedy". Non- Title Match: Ken Kennedy vs. Lightheavyweight Champ Paul London The bell sounded and London attempted to use his quickness to take the fight to Kennedy but Kennedy caught him with a cradle suplex, taking him to the mat. He grabbed London in a front facelock but London was able to spin out and then catch him with a flying heel kick. After a jumping facebuster, London hit a standing moonsault to get a 2 count. London stayed on the attack, going to the top rope. He was looking for the 450 splash but Kennedy recovered and fell into the ring ropes, knocking London to the mat. Kennedy then tried to load him onto his shoulders but still hanging on, London kicked him in the face and flew off with a crossbody block to get a 1.....2.........3. But out came Frankie Kazarian as London went to the top rope again. London became distracted by his presence and Kennedy capitalized, punching him in the midsection and then climbing up, delivering the devastating "Lambeau Leap" to get the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 4:35 Cole: "What do you know about that Jesse, a Lambeau Leap here in Minnesota"! Ventura: "Well the fans don't like that for a couple reasons, but Kennedy has won another match"! KENNEDY's MUSIC PLAYED AS HE LEFT AND KAZARIAN, HAPPY WITH HIS ACTIONS, WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM. Cole: "Frankie Kazarian has got involved in another one of London's matches and I think these fans will agree, it's time for this to be settled". BACKSTAGE AREA...... IDALIS IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH CHAOS WOLF AND DYLAN JANSENS. Idalis: "Dylan Jansens, don't you think these fans deserve an explanation for your actions last week, I mean..... JANSENS GRABS THE MICROPHONE. Dylan Jansens: "My actions? Do they deserve an explanation? Listen, did I deserve to play babysitter for the last three frickin' months?! All I did was choose a side and if you ask me, it was the right choice". JANSENS HANDS THE MIC TO CHAOS WOLF. Chaos Wolf: "Look lady, we're not going to give these people some sob story about how we had to turn on our friends. Let's face it, our friend Vlad, he was dead weight. Vlad, you may've gotten a win in our stretcher match, but the real fight is yet to come. And now with the Dragon on my side, your days are numbered here on PrimeTime". CHAOS WOLF AND JANSENS WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR PANTENE SHAMPOO. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "IN THE END" BY LINKIN PARK IS PLAYING AND CHAOS WOLF AND DYLAN JANSENS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE RING TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS. Cole: "We are back here on PrimeTime and here come the two men you just heard from and something tells me the fans didn't appreciate that explanation Jesse". Ventura: "I don't think they really care though Cole". "BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE HITS AND RANDY ORTON COMES DOWN OUT AS HIS GOLD PYRO RAINS DOWN. HE IS MET BY MOSTLY BOOS. Cole: "Tag team action here on PrimeTime as Randy Orton will team with Dylan Jansens who committed one of the most dispicable acts in TWF history last week"! Ventura: "I'd choose my words carefully Michael, Chaos Wolf is gonna join us here for commentary". CHAOS WOLF GRABS A HEAD SET AND TAKES A SEAT AT THE BROADCAST TABLE AS "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND AXL IRVIN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A BIG CHEER WITH TRACI BROOKS. Cole: "Chaos Wolf, Chae, welcome to the broadcast". Chaos Wolf: "Ya know Cole, you had some things to say about me at Eruption. For the record, I’m not a coward, I just got fed up with being Rockwell’s bodyguard. It seems like you are just a slow learner unlike DJ".
Ventura: "Speaking of Dylan, why did the one person set on holding the New Breed together do what he did last week".
Wolf: "He finally found out the truth behind the New Breed. It was nothing more than being bodyguards for Jordan Rockwell".
Cole: "How can you say that after Rockwell took you in and taught you everything you knew"? JUST THEN, "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT TO A PRETTY LOUD POP.
Wolf: "Rockwell was a friend until I saw what the New Breed really was".
Ventura: "Well Wolf what do you think of this tag match that’s about to take place"?
Wolf: "It’ll be a good match but Jansens and Orton will win without much trouble".
Cole: "How can you say that when their opponents tonight are Vlad the Impaler, who has a win over you, and Axl Irvin who seems to be Ric Flair’s protégé"?
Wolf: "Well I have faith in their skills to get the job done unlike the crappy announcing you do Cole. And speaking of Vlad, who you guys treat as some sort of hero now, I'll get that win back if he accepts my challenge".
Ventura: "Wait a minute you did that a few weeks ago and that ended up being a trap. Don’t tell me you plan on embarrassing Vlad again".
Wolf: "No, I’m challenging Vlad to a rematch. However, it won’t be just any kind of match. Oh no, I want a Submission Match".
Cole: "A submission match? He already beat you in a stretcher match and now you want a submissions match"? Wolf: "I'll tell ya what Michael, I'll let that one slide. The next stupid comment and The Body here is gonna be picking you up off the floor". Cole: "Whatever, the bell has sounded so let's get to the ring". Axl Irvin and Vlad the Impaler w/ Traci Brooks vs. Randy Orton and Dylan Jansens Jansens started the match with Irvin and Jansens mockingly asked for a handskake but Axl just slapped it away. DJ started to laugh it off before throwing a right hand but Axl blocked it and followed with 3 hard shots of his own before shooting him to the ropes for a big backbody drop. Axl went for a clothesline but Jansens ducked and tried to follow up with a jumping calf kick but Axl caught him and dropped him on the mat on the back of his head. Axl then made the tag to Vlad who was ready to get his hands on Jansens but DJ hurried to his corner and made the tag to Orton. Orton and Vlad locked up and Vlad pushed him to the corner. Orton used a thumb to the eye when referee Chris Kay asked for some seperation but when he ran out, Vlad turned him over with a powerslam. He stayed on for a cover but Orton was able to kick out. Vlad then picked him up and lifted him to the top turnbuckle but Orton kicked him right in the face and jumped off with a nice bulldog takedown. Orton then got up and showboated to the crowd a little before turning and drilling Axl with a cheap shot. Axl tried to get into the ring but Kay got in his way to block him. With the help of Jansens, Orton then tossed Vlad over the top rope. Chaos Wolf removed his headset and went after Vlad as Chae got up and slapped Traci right across the face. With the women rolling around on the floor in a catfight, Chaos Wolf was ready to smash Vlad with a steel chair. But out from the back came Ric Flair, grabbing the chair from Wolf from behind. Flair then smashed the chair over Wolf's head. Orton began yelling at Flair from in the ring but Axl snuck up behind him and got the 1.......2.......3 with a schoolboy. Match Time: 6:36 Cole: "Ric Flair has spoiled the plans here of Chaos Wolf as he was clearly going to get involved in the match"! Ventura: "I gotta agree Michael, I thought he was just leaving the table because he was tired of listening to your commentating"! "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" PLAYED AS AXL IRVIN WENT AND PULLED TRACI OFF OF CHAE AND THEY LEFT WITH FLAIR AND VLAD TO A HUGE RESPONSE. Cole: "Axl Irvin has pinned Randy Orton twice now in tag team matches and with that win, you gotta also believe that Vlad the Impaler has gotten a measure of revenge"! Ventura: "Maybe a little, but it won't be sweet revenge until he beats Dylan Jansens one on one". BACKSTAGE...... SHANE THOMPSON IS SHOWN WALKING IN THE BACK WITH HIS NEWLY WON HARDCORE TITLE WHEN CHRISTIAN COMES UP, CARRYING A GREEN WIG. Christian: "Ya know Shane, I hope you're proud of the way you won that title. I mean, Doink the Clown, are you kidding me"? CHRISTIAN THROWS THE WIG ACROSS THE HALL AND THOMPSON JUST LAUGHS. Shane Thompson: "Of course I am, but I'm gonna be even more proud of what I do with this title. As for you Christian, you need to drop the act. Everyone knows you don't really give a damn about Rockwell". THOMPSON WALKS AWAY AS CHRISTIAN LOOKS ON. Chavo Guerrero vs. Essa Rios w/ Psychosis and Super Crazy Chavo just laughed at the 3 men he said he no longer needed as he came to the ring before engaging in a great, fast paced match with Rios. Rios gained control after back to back arm whips before shooting Chavo to the corner but he ran into a foot to the face and Chavo tripped him up before stacking him up in the corner. He put his feet on the ropes for extra leverage but Super Crazy came around and threw them off. As Chavo and Crazy argued, Psychosis got on the apron on the other side of the ring to get the attention of referee Mike Enos. That allowed Crazy to jump up and bring Chavo down over the top rope with a hangman. Chavo fell to the mat as Enos changed sides, yelling for Crazy to get down. Psychosis took advantage by going to the top rope and coming off with his guiilotine legdrop, right on Chavo! Rios followed that up with his gorgeous moonsault from the opposite corner to get the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 6:23 Ventura: "Now what the hell was that Cole?! It was three on one there"! Cole: "Hey, Chavo told these guys he didn't need them anymore! I guess this is what he gets"! COLE LAUGHS AS CHAVO IS SHOWN LOOKING ON FROM THE RING IN DISGUST AS LA FAMILIA CELEBRATES. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR SMACKDOWN VS. RAW 2006 FOR PS2 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TWF FIGURES FEATURING THE NEWLY RELEASED MATT CRUZ, JESSICA LOPEZ AND NAILS FIGURES. RETURN FROM BREAK...... A PROMO GRAPHIC PREVIEWS THE STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR LATER TONIGHT BETWEEN CHRIS PLATOON AND MUHAMMAD HASSAN TWF Intercontinental Title Match Challenger: Batista vs. Sean O'Haire Nothing O'Haire threw at Batista seemed to even slow him down and it looked like this would be the night O'Haire lost the gold, especially after one of Batista's patented spinebusters. But just as he was setting up for the "Batista Bomb", the familiar ray of white light shined down on him from above. As Batista tried to figure out what it was, O'Haire left the ring and jerked the title belt out of the timekeeper's hands, bringing it into the ring and blasting Batista in the head, causing a blatant DQ. O'Haire left holding his title and laughing as Batista tried to shake off the effects. Match Time: 5:40 BACKSTAGE....... TAJIRI AND ULTIMO DRAGON ARE SHOWN WALKING IN THE BACK BUT WHEN THEY OPEN A DOOR, THE BOOGEYMAN IS ON THE OTHER SIDE. IN A COMEDIC MOMENT, TAJIRI JUMPS UP AND LETS OUT A HIGH PITCHED SCREAM BEFORE BOTH MEN LEAVE IN A HURRY AS THE BOOGEYMAN LETS OUT OF HIS DEMONIC LAUGHS. Boogeyman: "I'm the Boogeyman and I'm comin' to get ya"! BACK IN THE RING, RICK MARTEL AND CHRIS MASTERS HAVE COME OUT AND THEY HAVE SET UP A CHAIR IN THE RING. MARTEL ANNOUNCES THAT TONIGHT, CHRIS MASTERS WILL BE PUTTING $10,000 OF HIS OWN MONEY UP AGAINST ANYONE IN THE CROWD THAT CAN COME IN AND BREAK THE MASTERLOCK. MARTEL CALLS IN AN OVERWEIGHT GUY WHO IS WAVING HIS HAND, READY TO TAKE THE CHALLENGE. THE MAN COMES INTO THE RING AND TAKES A SEAT IN THE CHAIR AS MARTEL VERBALLY BASHES HIM FOR HIS CHOICE OF CLOTHING. MASTERS GETS THE HOLD ON AND THE GUY HAS NO CHANCE AS REFEREE CHARLES ROBINSON QUICKLY ASKS FOR THE BELL. MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE THROWS THE MAN TO THE FLOOR AS MARTEL CHALLENGES ANYONE IN THE WORLD TO BREAK THE HOLD. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PREVIEW FOR NFL SUNDAY. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... MICHAEL COLE ANNOUNCES THAT NEXT WEEK, THE NEW ROAD WARRIORS WILL DEFEND THE TAG TEAM TITLES AGAINST THE ORIENT EXPRESS. 6 Man Tag team match The New Road Warriors and Bobby Lashley vs. The Orient Express and Rene Dupree w/ Sonny Onoo and Dawn Marie This match was totally dominated by Heidenreich, Animal and Lashley. In the ring, the tag team champs took it to the much smaller Orient Express. Heidenreich caught Tanaka with his scrapbuster slam and Tanaka just rolled out of the ring. Outside the ring, Lashley lifted Dupree up for his Dominator Drop but decided to put him right through the announce table instead, crushing it as Cole and Ventura got out of the way. Animal then lifted Kato onto his shoulders after smashing him with a clothesline in the corner. Heidenreich then came off the top rope with a clothesline to complete the "Doomsday Device" and Animal covered him for the victory. BACKSTAGE...... THE SHOT TURNS TO SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE WHERE HE IS STANDING WITH SLAUGHTERHOUSE GENERAL MANAGER JESSE STEELE WHEN SHANE THOMPSON COMES IN WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE. STEELE IMMEDIATELY SMILES AS McMAHON ASKS THOMPSON IF THIS IS REALLY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. THOMPSON SAYS NOTHING WILL GIVE HIM MORE PLEASURE THEN TO RUIN WHAT JORDAN ROCKWELL WORKED SO HARD TO BRING BACK. WITH THAT, SHANE McMAHON GIVES THE GIFT OF THE TWF HARDCORE TITLE TO STEELE AND SLAUGHTERHOUSE! Steel Cage Match Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh vs. Chris Platoon Both men wasted no time just tearing into each other, using the cage walls as an offensive weapon. Platoon was busted open first, but he drove Hassan into the steel like a long dart and started a flow of blood from his forehead. But after catching Platoon with a reverse russian legsweep, Hassan began to climb out of the cage. Platoon got up and followed him, catching him at the top. The two traded right hands but Platoon finally just brought Hassan all the way to the mat with a hip toss slam. Both men were down and the crowd was loving it. But seeing this, Tiger Ali Singh knew he had to do something. So he began to climb the cage from the outside. Platoon was first to his feet but he saw Singh coming into the ring. So he climbed the cage, meeting him at the top. That led to the second incredible spot in the match as Platoon superplexed Tiger all the way from the top! "Oooohs" and "Ahhhs" came pouring from the crowd but Singh accomplished what he set out to do as Hassan crawled to the cage door and fell out of the ring to win the match. Match Time: 6:31 HASSAN's ARABIC CHANT AND MUSIC HIT BUT HE JUST WALKED TO THE BACK, LEAVING TIGER ALI SINGH IN THE RING. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR STARBURST IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR THE NEW PONTIAC G6 COUPE. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... Christian vs. Shane Thompson Fresh off giving away the Hardcore title, Thompson looked pretty happy but Christian looked ready to assault him. But before the bell even sounded, Thompson inexplicably got out of the ring. As Christian tried to coerce him back in, he was attacked from behind by none other than....... Nails! Nails put a beating on Christian as Thompson got a steel chair, sliding it into the ring. Nails delivered the "Nail Driver" to Christian right on the chair. The stunned fans were happy to see Jordan Rockwell run out but the damage had been done. Rockwell hovered over Christian, who was in a lot of pain, as Thompson and Nails left. Cole: "Nails has returned! The maniac in the hockey mask is back"! Ventura: "And it looks like he's picking up right where he left off, breaking bodies and going after Rockwell"! CAMERAS GET A CLOSE UP OF THE INFAMOUS HOCKEY MASK AS "HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYS. Cole: "The Universal champion just got another problem added to the defense of his title and this one.... this one might be too much to overcome"! OFF AIR...........
