RIGHT AS PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH DAIVARI TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Michael Cole: "We welcome you to the final TWF PrimeTime of 2005 and the boos you hear are for good reason Jesse, Muhammad Hassan is on his way to the ring"!

Jesse Ventura: "These two are scheduled for tag team action Cole, I have no idea why Hassan is asking for a mic"!

Muhammad Hassan: "It's that time of year again! The time of year when you Americans give gifts to those who you don't really care about, stuff your faces with so much food it makes you sick, and make a bunch of resolutions that you don't last a week before breaking!

A CHORUS OF BOOS STARTS UP.

But ya know what Daivari and I hate the most about this time of year? Santa Claus! How long will you people continue this myth that Santa Claus exists?! How long will you tell your kids that..........

JUST THEN, "AHH WHAT A RUSH" IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY THE MUSIC OF THE OLD L.O.D. WHICH BRINGS HEIDENREICH AND ANIMAL OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER. HEIDENREICH WAS CARRYING THE JAR CONTAINING THE SPIDER AND HE SET IT DOWN IN THE CORNER.

Cole: "Thank God for that"!

Ventura: "The nerve of this guy to say that kind of stuff! If he hates it here so much, why is he here"?!

Cole: "We know that Muhammad Hassan will square off against Batista at War in the Winter so a win in this tag team match is important if he wants the necessary momentum to carry over in facing the animal"!

Muhammad Hassan and Daivari vs. The New Road Warriors

Daivari started the match off with Animal and he was no match for the veteran. After getting in some quick punches, he hit the ropes but just bounced off him. Animal then slammed into him with back to back clotheslines before whipping him to the corner. But Daivari moved out of the way as he charged in before rolling to his corner and making the tag. Hassan came in and hit Animal with some overhand rights before whipping him to the ropes but Animal ducked a clothesline and shot Hassan to the ropes, catching him with a big powerslam. He made the cover but Daivari came in to break it up. Animal reached over and tagged in Heidenreich who clotheslined Hassan before going for a suplex. But Hassan slung over him and brought him down across his knees. Heidenreich was in a great deal of pain as he held his lower back. Hassan pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but he put his head down too early and Heidenreich clubbed him across the back. He then scooped him up and delivered a big sideslam as the crowd started to really get behind the former tag team champs. But just then, Sean O'Haire came out and made his way to the spider. Animal tried to stop him but Daivari jumped off the apron, kicking Animal in the side of the head. O'Haire grabbed the jar and made off with it. Heidenreich yelled for him to come back as Hassan nailed him with a running knee in the back. Hassan then locked in the Camel Clutch and Heidenreich gave it up.

Match Time: 5:29

Cole: "Sean O'Haire came out here and stole that, that spider that Heidenreich's been carrying around"!

Ventura: "He didn't steal anything! That was his spider"!

Cole: "Well the bottom line is that Hassan and Daivari have picked up the win and.... wait a minute, here comes Santa Claus"!

Ventura: "And he's got a bag full of toys"!

SANTA GETS INTO THE RING AND BEGINS WAVING TO THE FANS BUT HASSAN IS SEEN VERBALLY ABUSING HIM. SUDDENLY, SANTA TAKES HIS BAG AND SWINGS IT AT DAIVARI, KNOCKING HIM TO THE MAT. HASSAN THROWS A RIGHT HAND BUT SANTA BLOCKS IT AND KNOCKS HIM DOWN WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN. SANTA THEN RIPS OFF HIS FAKE BEARD AND HAT.... IT's BATISTA! THE CROWD GOES NUTS AS BATISTA DRILLS HASSAN WITH A SPINEBUSTER. DAIVARI TRIES TO GET IN A SHOT BUT BATISTA KICKS HIM AND DELIVERS "BATISTA BOMB" AS HASSAN ESCAPES. THE CROWD GOES WILD AS BATISTA's MUSIC PLAYS.

Cole: "Oh yeah, I'd say Batista is more than ready for War in the Winter"!

Ventura: "And I'd say Hassan and Daivari hate Santa even more now"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWIX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR THE NFL ON FOX.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE......

Rob Van Dam and Axl Irvin w/ Traci vs. Randy Orton and Ken Kennedy

Axl Irvin and Kennedy started this match off but RVD was just chomping at the bit to get into the ring with Orton after last week's incident. Tags were made on both sides but the fight between Axl and Kennedy continued, spilling out onto the floor. In the ring, Orton was able to jump over a back footsweep attempt by RVD and he caught him with consecutive european uppercuts. He then hit the ropes but RVD backdropped him out of the ring. Orton landed very awkwardly on both knees and tried to used the broadcast table to pull himself up. But RVD came off the apron with a spinning legdrop, smashing Orton's face into the table! This drew a huge pop as RVD rolled back into the ring and Orton couldn't beat referee Charles Robinson's count to get back in.

Match Time: 3:47

Cole: "The ref is asking for the bell! Orton's been counted out"!

Ventura: "RVD has drawn first blood on Randy Orton but I doubt it'll be that easy to shut him up"!

Cole: "Orton came out last week and said he deserves to be in the main event but RVD might have something to say about that! And that brings us to a man of little words. Take a look folks at Rome"!

A VIDEO PACKAGE IS SHOWN OF ROME DOING SOME SERIOUS WEIGHT TRAINING. FROM BENCHPRESSES, TO SQUATS TO DEADLIFTS. THE PACKAGE ENDS WITH ROME SNAPPING A CARDBOARD STANDUP OF CHRIS MASTERS IN HALF.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, BOBBY LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. RECON RAGE OF SMW IS SHOWN IN THE RING.

Cole: "As you can see Jesse, Rome is ready for his match at War in the Winter with Chris Masters"!

Ventura: "Well if he thinks he's gonna do to Masters what he just did to that cardboard standup, he's got another thing comin'"!

Cole: "Here's a man who also has his work cut out for him at War in the Winter! Lashley will take on both members of The Brood in a handicap match"!

Bobby Lashley vs. Recon Rage of SMW

Recon Rage, a very big man, stood no chance against the monster Lashley. After running into a clothesline, Rage found himself on the receiving end of a double underhook belly to belly suplex. From there, Lashley hit his Dominator drop and rolled Rage over for the easy 1.....2......3.

Match Time: 3:01

Cole: "Another dominating victory for Lashley! Ya know Jesse, we've been doin' this a long time, but I can't remember a superstar ever come through here who looks as good as this guy"!

JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT.

Ventura: "What the hell"?!

FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SOME VERY, VERY STRANGE NOISES ARE HEARD. WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, LASHLEY IS COVERED IN A RED, BLOOD-LIKE SUBSTANCE.

Cole: "Oh my.... I think Lashley has just been given a bloodbath"!

Ventura: "Look at the look on that man's face".

THE CAMERA GETS A LOOK AT THE SEETHING FACE OF LASHLEY.

Cole: "I know two guys who have hell to pay come War in the Winter"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW PSP IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WAR IN THE WINTER FEATURING ROME VS. CHRIS MASTERS.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....

"WITH A THOUSAND WORDS TO SAY BUT ONE" BY DARKEST HOUR COMES ON AND MARINER COMES OUT AS PRIMETIME RETURNS LIVE.

Cole: "We welcome you back to TWF PrimeTime and for those of you just joining us, you witnessed Muhammad Hassan get punked by Santa Claus, who was later revealed as Batista"!

Ventura: "And if you ask me Michael, Hassan looked less than thrilled knowing he still has to face Batista at War in the Winter"!

CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT KNEELING WITH A CAPE ON ALONG WITH RICK MARTEL. SUDDENLY, MASTERS POPS UP AND GOES INTO A POSE WHICH KNOCKS THE CAPE OFF. MASTERS FOLLOWS WITH SEVERAL OTHER POSES WHICH SHOW OFF HIS VERY IMPRESSIVE PHYSIQUE BEFORE HE AND MARTEL MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE RAMP.

Cole: "At that same pay-per-view, this man will square off against the world's benchpress champion and if you talk to Masters, he will bet anything that Rome can't break the Masterlock"!

Ventura: "It's been awhile since we've seen Rome in the ring but I'll tell ya this, as much as I like Masters, especially now that he's with a veteran like Rick Martel, if anyone can break that hold, it is Rome"!

Cole: "Mariner will provide the opposition tonight and can you imagine what a win here would do for him"?

Mariner vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters

Masters wanted to lock up but Mariner thought better of that, pulling away. Masters charged him but Mariner used a drop toehold before hitting the ropes and drilling Masters with a basement dropkick. Looking for some wuick strike offense, Mariner went to the top rope and flew off but Masters caught him, showing his amazing strength before ramming Mariner into the corner. He then threw him more than halfway across the ring with a release belly to belly. Masters did some posing for the crowd, which really got them booing as Martel sprayed some of his famous Arrogance. Masters went for a running clothesline but Mariner ducked it and kicked him in the gut before hitting a variation of the old Dudley Dog. Mariner fell on top of Masters and got the 1..........2........, but that was all. Masters was able to shoot Mariner into the air after he hit the ropes but Mariner landed on his feet, only to have Masters try to get on the Masterlock. But Mariner had it scouted, escaping before he could get his fingers locked. He then kicked him in each of the legs before going for a tornado DDT. Masters countered by throwing him across the ring but again, Mariner landed on his feet. He ran in but Masters kicked him in the midsection before hitting a wicked DDT that stuck Mariner's head into the mat and that led to the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 7:01

Cole: "And there's the three count, a hard fought win for the Masterpiece".

Ventura: "And he won it with a DDT. I think he just showed Rome that he has more than one way to beat ya".

MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AS HE AND MARTEL LEFT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

Cole: "It'll be a serious clash of the titans! Power versus power at War in the Winter"!

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS GO TO THE BACK WHERE IDALIS IS STANDING WITH CHRISTIAN OUTSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM. HE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Idalis: "Christian, in just under a week, you will defend your Universal title for the first time, a title many thought you would never win".

Christian: "Well I guess that's what happens when you listen to the "insiders", doesn't it Idalis? And frankly, I don't give a damn what all of them thought because I knew I was good enough to win this thing, I just needed the chance".

Idalis: "Well at War in the Winter, you won't just be defending against one man, but three others. With two of those men being Nails and your former friend and tag team partner Edge, do you wish things with you and Jordan Rockwell were different at the moment"?

Christian: "Look, Rockwell made his bed, now he gets to sleep in it. He questioned my motives, he questioned me as a person, when I was there for him. So to answer your question, I don't care what things are like between he and I, because I'm walking into War in the Winter with this belt and I'm walking out with it! Ya know why"?

Idalis: "Uh, why"?

Christian: "Cause that's how I roll".

CHRISTIAN WALKS AWAY AS IDALIS JUST LOOKS ON.

AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, DAWN MARIE IS SHOWN IN THE RING, BEING LOUDLY CHEERED.

Dawn Marie: "Hey guys, I just thought you all might be interested in hearing about my baby"!

HER COMMENT IS MET BY A MIXED RESPONSE.

Ventura: "Interested"?

Cole: "Dawn gave birth to her first son just before Christmas".

Dawn Marie: "That's right, I had a healthy baby boy named Matthew and I couldn't be happier. But as of right now, I am all set to return here to PrimeTime"!

THE FANS CHEER.

Ventura: "What about the maternity leave"?

Cole: "Does she look like she needs a maternity leave partner?

JUST THEN, A REDDISH SMOKE BILLOWS FROM THE ENTRANCE AS THE MUSIC OF THE BOOGEYMAN IS HEARD.

What the hell is this? Oh no".

THE BOOGEYMAN COMES OUT, GYRATING AS HE WALKS TO THE RING, CARRYING SOME SORT OF STAFF. THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF A TERRIFIED DAWN MARIE.

Ventura: "What the hell is this guy doing"?

Cole: "I don't know, but Dawn looks terrified!

DAWN BACKS UP AS BOOGEYMAN ENTERS THE RING, STARING A SICK HOLE THROUGH DAWN. JUST THEN, HE PULLS A HANDFUL OF WORMS OUT OF HIS POCKET.

Oh my God, this guy can't be serious"!

JUST THEN, RENE DUPREE COMES OUT WITH THE FRENCH FLAG AND HITS BOOGEYMAN FROM BEHIND. WHEN BOOGEY TURNS HIM AROUND, HE BREAKS THE FLAG OVER HIS HEAD BEFORE GRABBING DAWN's HAND AND ESCORTING HER OUT OF THE RING. AS RENE AND DAWN LEAVE, BOOGEYMAN SITS UP WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE, LAUGHING AS HE STUFFS THE WORMS DOWN HIS THROAT.

Cole: "I never thought I'd be happy to see Rene Dupree, but he just saved Dawn from.... from I don't what"!

Ventura: "That is one sick puppy Michael, that's all I can say"!

TWF Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Chavo Guerrero and Chris Platoon vs. The Orient Express w/ Sonny Onoo

Coming off a win last week, Chavo and Platoon looked like a serious threat the the Orient Express' crown, looking like they'd teamed together for years. Chavo and Platoon controlled the match by cutting the ring in half and making frequent tags as Tanaka always had to deal with the fresh man. But after a thumb to the eyes on Platoon, Tanaka rolled to his corner and tagged in Kato. But Platoon quickly overtook him with an inverted atomic drop followed by a reverse jumping bulldog. Sonny Onoo tried to get involved and it was obvious he had a handful of salt but Chavo pulled him off the apron. Tanaka came over and began trading shots with Chavo which got the attention of referee Mickey Henson. Just then, Shane Thompson entered the ring from the crowd with a Singapore cane and he smashed Platoon over the head, knocking him to the mat. Kato pulled him up as Thompson made his exit and delivered a german suplex to get the 3 count as he and Tanaka retained the titles. Chavo came into the ring to check on his partner who was in a great deal of pain as Thompson left through the sea of people.

Match Time: 10:12

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, A SLIGHT ARGUMENT SEEMS TO HAVE ESCALATED BETWEEN NAILS AND EDGE.

Edge: "Oh, so are we not clear now?! You think you're taking the title at War in the Winter?! Look, remember the last time you were Hardcore champion? Why was that? It was because I threw the damn title in the trash, just like we had planned! I did you a favor, I kept alive your King of Hardcore persona! Now..... now it's time for you to return the favor! If you think you're in that four way for anything other than to help me, you've got another thing comin'! All you have to do is take care of Rockwell, I'll worry about Christian! This..... this is my time! I've been here for too long not to have the damn title! At War in the Winter..... it's mine"!

EDGE STORMS OFF AS NAILS TURNS AND LOOKS AT HIM.

Cole: "Things don't seem well between those two and they are scheduled to be in tag team action next! But it looks like Heidenreich and Animal have come back to the ring".

Heidenreich: "O'Haire, I'm only gonna say this once! I'm gonna give you the chance to do this the easy way! Earlier tonight, you came out here and took something that was very dear to me. I want my friend back, bring him out here now"!

Ventura: "This guy's lost it".

Cole: "And it doesn't look like O'Haire is coming".

JUST THEN, A WHITE RAY OF LIGHT SHINES DOWN ON BOTH MEN AS THE PHRASE "ALL SINNERS MUST PAY" IS SHOWN ON THE PRIMETRON.

Ventura: "Uh oh, we know what that means"!

Cole: "We do? I don't understand who has sinned".

Ventura: "Heidenreich took something that didn't belong to him, now he wants it back"?!

THE SHOT FADES OUT WITH HEIDENREICH AND ANIMAL LOOKING AT EACH OTHER, NOT SURE WHAT TO DO.

COMMERCIAL BREAK..........

A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "HOSTEL" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A WAR IN THE WINTER PROMO FEATURING BATISTA VS. MUHAMMAD HASSAN.

RETURN FROM BREAK......

Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and before we get to our main event, we've gotta remind fans out there watching that in less than one week, the TWF will hold it's annual winter edition, War in the Winter and Jesse, what a card"!

AS THEY ROLL DOWN THE MATCHES, PROMO GRAPHICS POP UP OF EACH. THEY ARE INSIDE A SNOWY BACKGROUND WHICH CONTAINS A TANK AND A MINE FIELD, CLEARLY LABELED.

Cole: "How about this one? Chaos Wolf will battle Vlad the Impaler once again but this time, there is going to be a voting process held over on TWF.com as to what the stipulation for that match will be"!

Ventura: "I like that idea! Well we've talked about this one plenty tonight, but the animal Batista will take on Muhammad Hassan"!

Cole: "And just signed moments ago, Shane Thompson will meet Chris Platoon, who already holds a pinfall victory over him, in a falls count anywhere matchup"!

Ventura: "We saw Lashley get a bloodbath earlier, will he be able to exact some revenge when he takes on both members of The Brood"?!

Cole: "We just saw the message that all sinners must pay and at War in the Winter, Sean O'Haire will team with the pale rider Mordecai to face The New Road Warriors, Heidenreich and Animal"!

Ventura: "And can Rome break the Masterlock? Some say yes, some say no, we'll find out at War in the Winter"!

Cole: "And then the big one, four men, one title. Edge, Nails, Jordan Rockwell and Christian will battle for Universal gold"!

Ventura: "Lots of bruised egos and broken friendships in that one Michael, I can't wait"!

JUST THEN, "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER, WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE.

Cole: "And here comes the Universal champ, but I don't have him on my schedule, you"?

Ventura: "Well he is the champion Cole, I think he can come and go as he pleases"!

CHRISTIAN SHAKES COLE AND VENTURA's HAND BEFORE GRABBING A HEADSET AND SITTING DOWN.

Cole: "Christian, what brings you out here tonight"?

Christian: "Quite frankly Michael I got a little tired of listening to Jesse try and carry this show by himself so I thought I'd come lend a hand".

Cole: "Okay, whatever that means. But not only that, you'll get a ringside view of two of your opponents at War in the Winter".

Christian: "I sure will and I can't wait to see Edge and that wannabe Jason Voorhies get beat by La Familia"!

"BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER, PROBABLY AN EVEN LOUDER ONE.

Ventura: "Speaking of opponents"!

Christian: "What the hell is this"?

ROCKWELL GETS DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND GRABS A HEADSET OF HIS OWN, TAKING A SEAT NEXT TO VENTURA.

Jordan Rockwell: "What's the matter Christian, you thought you were the only one doing guest commentary tonight"?

"HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Christian: "Why don't you take a good look at this guy! Ya know it's because of you that this freak is after my title in the first place"!

Rockwell: "Is that right"?

Ventura: "Ya know, I tend to agree with him on that one".

Cole: "Come on Jesse, let's just try and call the match. Look guys, you'll get your shot in less than a week, can we call the match"?

"METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT TO A TON OF HEAT.

Ventura: "Well I do want to get the thoughts of these two guys on what Edge told Nails just moments ago, about how he is only in the four way to help him win it".

Rockwell: "It doesn't bother me, I've gone through Nails before, and I'll do it again".

Christian: "That's the typical answer! Look, Edge can have the frickin' Marine Corps for all I care, this title ain't goin' nowhere and that's.........

Rockwell: "Nah, you already used that catchphrase once tonight".

Christian: "You son of bitch".

LA FAMILIA's MUSIC HITS AND OUT COMES SUPER CRAZY AND PSYCHOSIS TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE.

Cole: "I just don't understand how you two could go from great friends to this".

Christian: "Well why don't you ask the franchise that question Michael"?

Cole: "La Familia with a big oppurtunity in front of them here".

Ventura: "Ya know, if we could see on the other side of that mask Jordan, I'm pretty sure Nails has some serious hatred for you".

Rockwell: "Well he'll get his chance to do something about it, just like the C-Man down there will".

Edge and Nails vs. La Familia

The bell sounded and Crazy tried to hit Nails with a shoulder tackle but it was like he ran into a brick wall. Nails then proceeded to deliver a heavy beating to Crazy, busting him open with a headbutt. As Psychosis tagged into the match, he didn't have any better luck. After a kick to the gut on Nails, he hit the ropes but Nails was waiting with a stiff clothesline that turned him inside out. Edge tagged into the match and he shot Psychosis to the ropes, hitting a big flapjack. Edge continued his attack but Psychosis was able to reverse an irish whip and catch him with a hurracanrana. He made the tag and he and Crazy hit a series of double team moves that really got the crowd into it. After a double dropkick, both men went to the top rope, on opposite corners. But Nails ran over and pushed Psychosis off and he fell hard to the floor. Crazy then came off the top rope with his moonsault but Nails pulled Edge out of the way. Edge then got up and drilled Crazy with the spear and covered him, hooking both legs to get the 1........2.........3.

Match Time: 8:10

Ventura: "Well boys, it sure looks like Nails helped Edge out there"!

CHRISTIAN STOOD UP FROM HIS CHAIR, HOLDING THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND AS EDGE INVITED HIM INTO THE RING. CHRISTIAN PUT THE TITLE DOWN AND SLOWLY UNBUTTONED HIS SHIRT BEFORE REMOVING IT. HE THEN GOT INTO THE RING AND BEGAN TRADING SHOTS WITH EDGE UNTIL NAILS JUST KICKED HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD. ROCKWELL THEN LEFT HIS CHAIR AND GOT INTO THE RING, HITTING NAILS WITH A BARRAGE OF RIGHT HANDS BEFORE CLOTHESLINING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE. EDGE STOOD OVER CHRISTIAN, YELLING THAT THIS WAS "MY TIME". BUT WHEN HE TURNED AROUND, ROCKWELL SMOKED HIM WITH 3 RIGHT HANDS BEFORE WHIPPING HIM TO THE ROPES AN BACKDROPPING HIM OVER THE TOP AS WELL AS THE CROWD WENT CRAZY. "BACK IN BLACK" THEN PLAYED AS CHRISTIAN GOT UP AND LOOKED AT ROCKWELL.

Cole: "Well you made a good point partner, Nails did help Edge but I think what's even more interesting is that Rockwell just helped Christian"!

Ventura: "It all sets the stage for what should be a tremendous title match at War in the Winter! You don't want to miss it fans"!

OFF AIR.............
