January 20, 2006
Exactly 4 months ago to the day, PrimeTime was in this same building, preparing for TWF Eruption. On that night, some say Christian's rise to the top began when he upset Randy Orton. This time, the fans would get an equally good show, about a week and a half from the Royal Rumble. Chavo Guerrero vs. Mariner Chants of "Eddie" rang through the arena as these two put on a heck of a show. After a flying headscissor led to a running enziguri, it looked like the young Mariner but pull off the win. But he missed a top rope legdrop and the veteran Chavo seized the moment, hitting the "Gory Bomb" to pick up the win. But as Chavo celebrated, Mariner attacked him from behind, putting him down with the "H-Bomb" and leaving the crowd stunned. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters w/ Rick Martel vs. Shawn Spears (invitee) Spears is an independent wrestler from Canada who officials were very keen on taking a look at. But Masters just steamrolled him with his power and after putting him down with the Ivan Putski-esque Polish hammer, he slapped on the "Masterlock" and Spears was quickly out. After the match, Martel told everyone to stay tuned for a very special edition of the Fashion Show, later tonight. Kato w/ Sonny Onoo and Tanaka vs. "Lost Boy" Johnny Swinger w/ Gangrel Sonny Onoo brought his world tag team champions out and Kato had a terrific match with Swinger, featuring some great chain wrestling. But after ducking a spinning roundhouse, Swinger caught Kato with a side russian leg sweep before going to the top rope. But as they've done numerous times, Tanaka tried to distract the referee as Onoo threw a handful of salt in Swinger's eyes! Swinger fell from the turnbuckle but the ref asked for the bell, disqualifying Kato. Onoo protested but after taking out Tanaka, Gangrel rolled Onoo into the ring. Then, he put him down with the Impaler DDT, sending a strong message to the champions as Uprising came to a close. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
*THIS EDITION OF RESULTS WILL BE CONDENSED DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS. PRIMETIME STARTS WITH THE USUAL OPENING WHILE "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. AS MICHAEL COLE AND JESSE VENTURA MAKE THEIR OPENING STATEMENTS, "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND AXL IRVIN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING ALONG WITH TRACI BROOKS. Royal Rumble Qualification Match Axl Irvin w/ Traci vs. Orlando Jordan Axl Irvin was taking the fight to his one time follower but Orlando's athleticism kept him in it. After catching Axl with a crossbody off the top rope, he got a near fall. He then went into his boxing stance and began to stick and move, jabbing Irvin with some stiff shots. But Axl ducked a right hook and hit a one handed spinebuster before hitting the ropes but Jordan bounced right up and hit Axl with the "Black Ice" out of nowhere, allowing him to pick up the win. Match Time: 6:15 BACKSTAGE AREA...... IDALIS IS SHOWN STANDING WITH KEN KENNEDY. Idalis: "Okay, I am here with Ken...... Ken Kennedy: "Uh... let me stop you right there. You are standing here with Misterrrrrr Kennedy! Now, ask your question". Idalis: "Okay, well we all saw you win the New Year's battle royale last week. What do you plan on using your new year's resolution for"? Kennedy: "Well right now Idalis, my sights are set on Vlad the Impaler and qualifying for the Royal Rumble. Who knows, once I win the Royal Rumble and move on to WrestleMania, maybe I won't need the resolution. Maybe I can give it to you to find a new makeup artist. So if you don't mind, I'm gonna go get ready for my match". IDALIS IS SPEECHLESS AS KENNEDY WALKS AWAY AND THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.... Chaos Wolf w/ Chae vs. Psychosis Chaos Wolf was on top of his game here but the veteran Psychosis had him well scouted and took control of the match after a tornado DDT. He kept the pressure on with a hurracanrana before going to the top rope for a guillotine legdrop. But Chaos Wolf rolled out of the way and got up, delivering the "Chaos Driver" to seal the victory. Match Time: 7:04 But before Chaos Wolf could even celebrate, Paul London ran out and got on the turnbuckle behind him, taking him out with a missile dropkick. It seemed that it was a physical response to the challenge Chaos Wolf issued last week. ANOTHER VIGNETTE IS SHOWN FOR BAHAMUT, CHRONOCOLING HIS TWF CAREER AND FINISHING WITH THE WORDS......... RETURNS AT THE ROYAL RUMBLE. BACKSTAGE....... MUHAMMAD HASSAN AND DAIVARI ARE SHOWN IN SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE. Muhammad Hassan: "What you did to Daivari last week, putting him in a tag team match against Batista and Rome made one thing very clear....... you promote the same thing as all the people in the crowd, all the people in this country.... discrimination! I will...... Shane McMahon: "Hey! Now you can scream discrimination all you want, but what I did do was make you one of the thirty participants in the Royal Rumble match"! HASSAN AND DAIVARI BOTH SMILE. Hassan: "And when I win the Royal Rumble for the right to be in the main event at WrestleMania.... no one will be able to take that from me". Sean O'Haire and Mordecai vs. La Familia: Essa Rios and Super Crazy The team of O'Haire and the Pale Rider was absolutely dominant as Rios and Super Crazy could find no answer. After Mordecai delivered the "Crucifix Bomb" to Rios, he went for the cover. But Super Crazy came in to break up the pin. Mordecai disposed of Crazy before tagging in O'Haire who was setting Rios up for the "Widowmaker" when Heidenreich came out with a microphone. Heidenreich was all fired up, talking about how Animal may never wrestle again and that he wants Sean O'Haire in the ring at the Royal Rumble. As this was going on, Rios came from behind and rolled O'Haire up to score the pin. Match Time: 5:08 COMMERCIAL BREAK........ RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... Royal Rumble Qualification Match Ken Kennedy vs. Vlad the Impaler These two put on one heck of a fight, both in and out of the ring. Kennedy worked on the left arm of Vlad which he still seemed to be favoring from the Elevated Fall match. But Vlad caught a running Kennedy with a heavy clothesline before whipping him to the corner and catching him with a powerslam as he came out. Vlad then uncharacteristically went to the top rope when the same man from last week, dressed in black, stood up in the crowd with a huge sign bearing the words "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE SAINT"? It seemed to be aimed to get the attention of Vlad and it did, allowing Kennedy to climb up the turnbuckle to deliver the "Lambeau Leap" for a tremendous victory. Match Time: 13:43 BACKSTAGE...... BACKSTAGE, ROME AND BATISTA ARE TALKING AND THEY SEEM TO BE IN VERY GOOD SPIRITS AS IDALIS COMES UP. Idalis: "Guys, you both still seem very happy with the way you handled Daivari and Rick Martel last week. But I wanted to talk to you guys about the Royal Rumble, which you have both been entered into". Batista: "Well, it's arguably the most exciting match of the year. It's luck of the draw and it's no friends, only enemies". Idalis: "Well with that being said, what will happen should you two find yourself facing off in the Rumble match"? ROME AMD BATISTA JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Rome: "Then may the best man win". Royal Rumble Qualification Match Chris Platoon vs. Taylor Made Another great battle between two men giving it their all for a chance to be one of 30 in the Royal Rumble. It looked like Taylor Made would advance, but Chris Platoon refused to give in, even getting to the ropes while Taylor had on a painful looking Indian deathlock. Moments later, Platoon reversed an irish whip and Taylor tried for a sunset flip when he dropped his head too soon but Platoon fell forward with a ton of leverage to pick up the victory. Match Time: 7:40 BACKSTAGE........ CAMERAS SHOW SHANE THOMPSON WALKING DOWN THE HALL SURROUNDED BY POLICE IN FULL RIOT GEAR. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, IDALIS TRIES TO TALK TO PAUL LONDON BUT HE SAYS NOTHING. IN THE RING, SHANE THOMPSON HAS COME OUT WITH THE RIOT COPS. HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT HE IS IN THE ROYAL RUMBLE AND WILL WIN IT. THAT WAY, THE HYPE AROUND GUYS LIKE BOBBY LASHLEY CAN STOP. HE WANTS TO STOP HEARING HOW GOOD LASHLEY IS UNTIL HE DOES SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT. WITH THAT, HE CALLS LASHLEY OUT AND THE BIG MAN FROM COLORADO SPRINGS QUICKLY RESPONDS. HE GETS INTO THE RING AND THE RIOT COPS STEP UP, LASHLEY IS SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT TAKING THEM ON BUT TRIES TO BREAK THROUGH, GOING FOR THOMPSON. THE COPS GANG UP ON HIM, HOLDING HIM BACK AS THOMPSON SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AND PULLS OUT A SINGAPORE CANE FROM UNDERNEATH IT. HE BRINGS IT INTO THE RING AND JUST BLASTS LASHLEY OVER THE HEAD, MUCH LIKE HE DID LAST WEEK. THOMPSON AND THE COPS THEN LEAVE TO A HOARD OF BOOS. BACKSTAGE...... RENE DUPREE AND DAWN MARIE ENTER SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE. Rene Dupree: "Mister McMahon, it's about time I find you". Shane: "I've been here all night". Dupree: "I came to talk about this.... this thing known as The Boogeyman. He has harrassed Dawn and I long enough and he has no place in the TWF. I demand that he is put back where he was found. And if he thinks for one minute that I.... the French Phenom, am scared of him..... he's got another thing coming". Shane: "A Frenchman being a coward? Never. But just to prove that you're not, how 'bout this. On TWF Main Event, you take on The Boogeyman in a Royal Rumble qualification match. The winner gets the final slot for PrimeTime". Dawn Marie: "We'll do it". DUPREE LOOKS AT DAWN AND SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE WORRIED. Royal Rumble Qualification Match Rob Conway vs. Ric Flair With a spot in the Rumble match up for grabs, these two went toe to toe in a fierce battle. Conway had Flair in a lot of trouble, but he could not put him away on many occasions, not even after a wicked tilting neckbreaker drop. Flair battled back, using quick jabs and his trademark knifedge chop before connecting with a shinbreaker. He tried to lock in the figure four but Conway used his right foot to push Flair away, right into an exposed turnbuckle which he removed earlier. Flair tried to recover, but was definitely feeling the effects as Conway locked in the "Million Dollar Dream" and Flair went out, giving Conway the huge upset and a spot in the Rumble. Match Time: 9:03 COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... The fans cheer as Jordan Rockwell is shown standing with Idalis in his gear along with a bag laying at his feet.
Idalis: "Jordan, first things first, what's in the bag"?
Jordan Rockwell: "That Idalis is a special gift from me to me that will remain in this bag till later tonight".
Idalis: "Okay now, we now know that it will be you and Nails at the Royal Rumble in a Buried Alive match......
Rockwell: "Let me stop you right there! Cause I know where you are going with this one. You, much like everyone else, are confused about what happened last week, am I right"?
Idalis: "Well honestly yes! Cause we saw a lifelike dummy of you inside the casket then you dressed as a druid attacking Nails, why"?
Rockwell: "The reason why is simple. It was a classic example of fiction versus reality and what I mean by that is this. Nails in your mind that was me laying in the casket and the way it will be after the Rumble. That's the fictitious part! The reality was me kicking your ass and leaving you laying with a cracked mask just like I plan on doing at the Royal Rumble when much I will make you much like your career over the last year or so..... a dead issue"!
Idalis: "That brings us to tonight when you, just about a week and a half from the Royal Rumble, go into the ring to face Randy Orton".
All of a sudden Rockwell is interrupted by Randy Orton.
Randy Orton: "Hold on there Rockwell! Let's talk about tonight cause I hope you are not walking into this match looking past me and onto Nails. Jordan come on man! You stand here talking about fiction and reality? Fiction is you thinking that you are still the franchise of the TWF or the supposed greatest showman on Earth when you stand in the presence of greatness in me, Randy Orton! So seeing as how you seem to be living in your own fictional storybook world, I got a reality check for you......
Rockwell: "Oh really? And what's that"?
Orton hauls off and slaps Rockwell in the face, turning him a bit before walking off and out of the shot. Rockwell is shown seething with anger then strangely as he faces the camera, he has a bit of an evil looking smile and look on his face as he merely leans down and picks his bag up and walks off laughing rather maniacally. MICHAEL COLE ANNOUNCES THAT CHAOS WOLF VS. PAUL LONDON FOR THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AND HEIDENREICH VS. SEAN O'HAIRE FOR THE IC TITLE HAVE BEEN SIGNED TO TAKE PLACE AT THE ROYAL RUMBLE. RICK MARTEL IS READY FOR THE FASHION SHOW AND HE BRINGS OUT HIS GUEST, CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIAN COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. HE HAS ON A PAIR OF TIGHT FITTING BLUE JEANS AND A YELLOW SILK SHIRT. MARTEL IMMEDIATELY RIPS CHRISTIAN FOR HIS ATTIRE. ALSO ON THE SHOW IS CHRIS MASTERS, WHO IS STANDING IN THE BACK. MARTEL SHIFTS THE FOCUS FROM CHRISTIAN TO THE MASTERPIECE, CALLING HIM THE MAN WHO WILL WIN THE ROYAL RUMBLE AND MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA 7. BUT CHRISTIAN RIPS THE MIC AWAY FROM MARTEL AND GETS IN THE FACE OF MASTERS, SAYING ALL HE SEES IS A STEROID POPPING APE WITH NO WRESTLING ABILITY WHATSOEVER. JUST AS THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET PHYSICAL, EDGE COMES UP FROM BEHIND WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AND DRILLS CHRISTIAN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. MASTERS HELPS EDGE BEAT CHRISTIAN DOWN AND EDGE USES SEVERAL OF THE PROPS ON THE SET TO HIT CHRISTIAN WITH BEFORE YELLING "THIS IS MY TIME.... YOU CAN'T TAKE IT"! EDGE FINISHES WITH ONE MORE STOMP TO THE HEAD AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Jordan Rockwell vs. Randy Orton This was a great way to end the night. Rockwell came to the ring with the bag he had in the interview and all match, Orton tried to figure out what was in it. But Rockwell stopped him each time but when he went for a running powerslam, Orton amazingly countered into the "RKO". He was very slow to make the cover though and Rockwell kicked out at 2. After whipping Rockwell to the corner, Orton charged in but Rockwell caught him and fell to the mat, dropping Orton face first on the steel post behind the pads. Rockwell then reached into his bag and pulled out a hockey mask, slipping it onto Orton! Rockwell seemed to see Nails as he aggressively took it to Orton. After a thumb to the eye, Orton was able to get the mask off but he ran right into a small package and Rockwell got the 3 count. Match Time: 5:57 But Rockwell's celebration was cut short as several men dressed as Nails began showing up everywhere. One on the stage, one in the crowd, even one in the rafters. A very eerie video was then shown on the PrimeTron of a man locked inside a casket, his only light from a cigarette lighter. The man furiously pounded at the casket lid in sheer panic. Rockwell seemed very uneasy by the scene as the shot faded out. OFF AIR......
