Columbus, Ohio
Attendance:
February 10, 2006
It was the first show after the Royal Rumble and it was the first time PrimeTime ever emanated from Columbus. Officials were very happy with the turnout they received. Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie vs. Derek Wylde (invitee) Dupree was very impressive here against the young Wylde and after catching him going for a crossbody, he showed some tremendous power by turning it into the "Dupree Bomb" for the win. Gangrel vs. Kato w/ Sonny Onoo Both men came out with their tag team partners but the referee sent them to the back. Gangrel controlled the match after taking some serious kicks from Kato. Onoo tried to get involved but Gangrel dragged him into the ring and had him set up for the Impaler DDT but he turned right into a superkick from Kato who then grabbed his legs and flipped into a bridged pin to get a 3 count. Rome vs. Frankie Kazarian In Uprising's main event, Kazarian met Rome, who had a very impressive Royal Rumble. Kazarian, giving up plenty of size and power, gave Rome all he wanted. But after being whipped to the corner, Kazarian tried to sling over Rome but Rome stopped his momentum and clotheslined him in the back of the had. The shot seemed to put Kazarian out on his feet and led to a cobra clutch suplex that dumped him right on his head and Rome rolled him over for an easy 3 count. AS ROME CELEBRATED HIS WIN, THE SHOT FADED OUT WHILE THE CREW GOT THE STAGE SET FOR PRIMETIME. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR WITH IT's USUAL MONTAGE AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW WITH A PYRO SHOWER AND THEN, BOBBY LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG POP. Michael Cole: "Welcome to TWF PrimeTime live from the Nationwide arena in Columbus and here comes Lashley"! Jesse Ventura: "This crowd has been crazy all day long Cole, they are ready for PrimeTime"! Cole: "And what a way to kick things off! Bobby Lashley was arguably as impressive as anyone in the Royal Rumble match, throwing out more superstars than anyone else with five"! ROB CONWAY IS SHOWN IN THE RING, GETTING LOOSE. Ventura: "But he has a very stiff challenge waiting for him in the ring in Rob Conway". Cole: "Rob Conway certainly drew the short straw at the Royal Rumble, entering the match second but he still held his own". Bobby Lashley vs. Rob Conway Lashley and Conway locked up and, using his leg, Conway tripped Lashley up. Conway then flexed his bicep, taunting Lashley. But Lashley popped up and although he missed with a clothesline, he caught Conway with a shoulder tackle that knocked him flat on the mat. He then shot him to the corner and followed in with a big clothesline before gorilla press slamming him to the mat. Conway was in trouble early but he elbowed Lashley in the gut and then smashed him in the back of the head and neck. Conway then tried to wear him down with a standing side headlock but Lashley countered out with a backdrop suplex. From there, he ran and picked Conway's right leg, flinging him over his head into the air and he landed awkwardly on the mat. Lashley then picked him up over his head, looking for his Dominator drop but Conway slipped off and then grabbed him, throwing him shoulder first into the steel ring post. Conway then went outside the ring and grabbed the ring bell, bringing it back in. Despite referee Charles Robinson's warnings, Conway showed he had no intentions of trying to win the match, hammering Lashley over the back of the head. Robinson immediately signaled for a DQ as Conway tossed the bell out of the ring, under the bottom rope. But the fans couldn't believe the look in Lashley's eyes when he stood up and Conway turned right into a serious clothesline. Lashley then lifted him up and put him down with the Dominator before asking for the house microphone. Match Time: 5:19 Cole: "Can you believe this guy?! He has freakish ability"! Ventura: "No, I can't believe it! He was hit with the ring bell"! Bobby Lashley: "Shane Thompson! I'm tired of you running! I'm tired of you trying to hide! This looks like a good time and a good place, so why don't you get out here so we can settle this"?! LASHLEY TOSSES THE MIC DOWN WHEN SHANE THOMPSON APPEARS ON THE PRIMETRON, SURROUNDED BY THE RIOT COPS. Shane Thompson: "Oh Bobby. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Do you really think I'm going to waste my time and go to that ring right now to fight you? And for what, so I can break a Singapore can over your head for the fourth time? Look, I have much bigger business to worry about tonight and besides, if you ever want to get to me, you gotta go through all of them". THOMPSON LAUGHS AS THE RIOT COPS STEP FORWARD AND THE SHOT CUTS OUT. IN THE RING, LASHLEY IS STILL YELLING FOR HIM TO COME OUT. Cole: "So I guess that's a no". Ventura: "You heard the man! He has more important business to tend to"! Cole: "Well regardless of all of that, there will come a time when Shane Thompson won't be able to hind behind those bogus riot cops and he'll have to face that beast Lashley one on one"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ LA FAMILIA IS SHOWN, LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME AS THEY WATCH NONE OTHER THAN TRACI, IN A VERY SKIMPY OUTFIT, DO A VERY SEDUCTIVE DANCE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR PURINA DOG CHOW IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "24" STARRING KIEFER SUTHERLAND. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... RIGHT AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND BRINGS THE CROWD TO THEIR FEET AS CHRISTIAN COMES OUT IN A PAIR OF LIGHT BLUE JEANS AND A BLACK "CAPTAIN CHARISMA" T-SHIRT. Cole: "The sound you hear is in celebration of Christian regaining the Universal title from Edge at the Royal Rumble! Hey, wait a minute"! RIGHT AS CHRISTIAN GETS INTO THE RING, A NET CONTAINING HUNDREDS OF HATS IS LET GO FROM ABOVE THE RING AND THEY POUR INTO THE RING. Ventura: "What the hell is going on here"? Christian: "For those of you who weren't fortunate enough to see the Royal Rumble.... the C-Man got the job done again! HE HOLDS THE TITLE UP AS THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS. So, they asked me what I wanted to do for my victory celebration tonight and I gotta be honest, I had a lot of ideas run through my head. I mean, I could have it rain goldage until I said stop! I could have that moron Doink the Clown come out here and make balloon animals! COLE LAUGHS And then it hit me.... hats! Now I know a lot of you around here my not be big on hockey. After all, you do have the Blue Jackets as your home team. SEVERAL BOOS ARE HEARD. But the reason that this ring is filled with hats is because in hockey, if a guy scores three goals in one game, that's known as a hat trick. Well, I acheived the wrestling equivalent of that at the Royal Rumble when I defeated Edge for the third straight time on pay-per-view"! THE CROWD AGAIN POPS. Cole: "He sure did"! Christian: "So I think it's only........ JUST THEN, "METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT IN HIS STREET CLOTHES, NOT LOOKING TOO HAPPY. Edge: "That's it, enough of the crap! You can have your fun and games this week Christian and you can make all these idiots think you're some kind of wrestling machine! But I just got out of Shane McMahon's office and I've got my rematch! Next week, I'm gonna expose you for what you truly are in a match that I will guarantee that you can beat me at...... TLC"! Cole: "What?! The title is gonna be on the line in a TLC match, next week"?! CHRISTIAN IS SHOWN AND HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO WORRIED AS HE STARES BACK AT EDGE. Ventura: "That's what it sounded like to me and if that's the case, PrimeTime will be the place for a broadcast first in the TWF"! BACKSTAGE...... RIC FLAIR IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR A FEW LUCKY FANS AS THE CROWD INSIDE THE ARENA LETS OUT SEVERAL "WOOS". JUST THEN, DAIVARI COMES UP WITH A PEN AND A PIECE OF PAPER. Daivari: "Oh, oh, I didn't realize you were signing Ric, can I get your autograph please"? Ric Flair: "You, want the Nature Boy to sign for you"? Daivari: "Hell no I don't! I came over here to deliver a message. I am the manager of Muhammad Hassan, one of the fastest rising superstars in the TWF but yet, he gets no respect whatsoever! But you, you who are what, seventy eight years old, get plenty of aduration just cause you're the "Nature Boy". Well, next week, myself and Muhammad Hassan would like you to meet us in the ring and we'd like you to talk to these people you have so much control over and tell them to respect Muhammad for his ability, not disrespect him cause of his heritage"! DAIVARI WALKS AWAY AND FLAIR IS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AS THE SHOT SHIFTS TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE IDALIS IS STANDING WITH THE BRAND NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION, HEIDENREICH, WHO IS NO LONGER WEARING THE ROAD WARRIOR FACEPAINT. Idalis: "Heidenreich, at the Royal Rumble, you pulled off what many consider to be a huge upset, defeating Sean O'Haire to win the Intercontinental title and end a reign that lasted over a year. How'd you do it"? Heidenreich: "See there's one thing that people don't know about me, the size of my heart. Ya see, not only did Sean O'Haire put my former friend and partner Animal out, but a few months ago, my entire family suffered a loss when Hurricane Katrina struck. So with all that emotion built up and all that on my mind, there was no way O'Haire was gonna beat me and not only that, it's gonna take one hell of an effort to get this away from me". HEIDENREICH HOLDS UP THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BELT AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE. Orlando Jordan vs. Taylor Made This was a very good, athletic matchup between two young lions on the PrimeTime roster. Jordan showed not only shades of his former boxing training, but his amatuer wrestling career as well. But Taylor Made combatted him with his usual unorthodox methods, using a reverse tornado DDT to nearly win the match. After a flying axe handle off the top rope, Taylor tried to lock in his Indian deathlock but Jordan countered and nearly stole the match with a small package. Jordan then got up and jabbed Taylor twice but when he went for a german suplex, Taylor blocked it and caught him with an elbow in the mouth followed by a hard DDT. Taylor then went to the top rope but just like on Rampage this week, the Burger King mascot ran out and circled the ring, drawing plenty of laughs from the crowd. Taylor just watched this but Jordan didn't pay any attention and he brought Taylor off the top rope with a very wicked version of the "Black Ice" and that got him the win. Match Time: 6:35 Cole: "Didn't that guy show up on Rampage this week too?! Who the hell is that"?! Ventura: "All I know is I hope he is caught and arrested in the back! He has no business out here"! A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH BATISTA ON ONE SIDE AND DYLAN JANSENS ON THE OTHER. Cole: "Folks still to come tonight, Dylan Jansens will battle the animal Batista"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR SLIM-FAST OPTIMA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR MYSPACE.COM RETURN FROM BREAK...... BACKSTAGE..... CHAOS WOLF AND CHAE ARE SPOTTED ENTERING SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE
Chaos Wolf: "Shane what happened at the Rumble was nothing more than robbery. I had London and he knew so what did he do? He put his hands on Chae by shoving her. Now what I want is a rematch right here tonight for the Lightheavyweight title, only this time, I want a hardcore match".
Shane McMahon: "Is that so? You come in here saying you were robbed but it was your own temper that cost you the match and if Chae had not tried to interfere, Paul London wouldn’t have done anything to her. So if you ask me, if Paul London wants to give you another shot, then so be it". Chaos Wolf: "Whatever. If he gives me another shot, that belt is mine". Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks vs. Essa Rios Traci was beginning to show a side of herself we haven't seen in the TWF and Rios could hardly stayed focused on the match. Axl Irvin really took it to Rios with an arsenal of power moves. After a big powerslam, he picked him up and dropped him over the top turnbuckle with the snake eyes before hitting the ropes and kicking him right in the face. He went for the cover but Essa was up at 2. Axl pulled him up and Traci gave him a big smile but his right hand was blocked by Rios who smacked him with one of his own. Rios then ducked a clothesline and hit the ropes, catching Axl with a flying wheel kick. Rios was cruising after hitting a perfect flying headscissor but Traci took matters into her own hands, getting up on the apron and pulling her top down, a moment that the tv station had to get their censors out! The crowd and Essa Rios alike loved it though and it looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his head when Axl came from behind with a sharp lowblow, one that referee Chris Kay missed because he was looking at Traci as well. Axl then pulled Rios to his feet and delivered the "Axl Cutter", rolling him over to get the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 7:52 Cole: "Can you believe that?! On behalf of the TWF, I'd like to apologize to FOX for Traci's actions"! Ventura: "What's there to apologize for?! It looked alright to me"! "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA PLAYED AS AXL LEFT WITH A VERY HAPPY TRACI. IN THE RING, RIOS TRIED TO COLLECT HIMSELF AS HE HELD HIS GROIN. Cole: "Well Traci said she was gonna find a way to get Axl off the losing slide and she did.... boy did she ever"! BACKSTAGE...... IDALIS IS STANDING WITH RANDY ORTON WHO HAS THE USUAL SMUG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Idalis: "Randy, it has just been announced by Shane McMahon that starting next week on PrimeTime, there will be a single elimination tournament to crown a new number one contender for the Universal title. You...... Randy Orton: "Yes, I am in the tournament Idalis. And with a spot in the main event at WrestleMania on the line, do you really think there's a guy on this roster that can beat me? I mean, come on. Starting next week, you will see the rise of Randy Orton, destiny awaits me and destiny is WrestleMania seven where I will be crowned the next...... Universal champion". "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT COMES ON AND DYLAN JANSENS MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO PLENTY OF BOOS. Cole: "Huge announcement by Shane McMahon and speaking of the main event at WrestleMania, this man knows all about what it's like to be there". Ventura: "He was there last year Michael and with a win in this match, he could be well on his way back". Cole: "Well I don't think the participants for this tournament have even been announced but Randy Orton thinks he's got it in the bag"! BATISTA's MUSIC HITS, TRIGGERING A PYRO DISPLAY AND HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP TO A BIG CHEER. Ventura: "Well ya gotta be confident Michael. I mean, I figured you were confident going on live tv with that hairstyle of yours"! Cole: "Well if you ask me, there's a difference between confident and cocky and that kid's middle name is cocky"! Ventura: "Well you know what they say, it ain't cocky if you can back it up"! JUST THEN, THE SOUNDS OF CHURCH BELLS ARE HEARD AND THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE PRIMETRON. "THE SAINT IS COMING.... BE READY........ TO CONFESS......... Cole: "What the hell was that about"? Ventura: "I didn't even have time to read it but the bell just sounded, this match is official". Dylan Jansens vs. Batista Batista was way too strong for Jansens in the early going, just pushing him away every time he got close. But after ducking a clothesline, Jansens dropkicked him in the left knee which staggered him. He then hit the ropes and connected with a springboard flying forearm followed by a standing moonsault. Batista easily kicked out of the cover but Jansens stayed on the offensive, connecting with several more kicks to the head and body. He refused to get in too close to Batista but when he tried to get him up for the "Dragon's Bane", Batista easily countered and hit his big spinebuster. Batista then picked him up, looking for the "Batista Bomb" but Jansens punched his way out of it and pushed the animal into the corner. He then charged in with a diving shoulder but missed everything and posted the left shoulder hard when Batista moved. Jansens let out a pained yell as Batista reeled him in and delivered the Batista Bomb with authority to get the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 8:08 Cole: "Huge win for Batista and partner, if he's one of the guys in that tournament, look out"! Ventura: "And it looks to me like Jansens got hurt there, he's still down". JANSENS WAS DOWN ON THE MAT, HOLDING HIS LEFT SHOULDER AS EMTs RAN DOWN TO CHECK ON HIM. Cole: "Well folks still to come tonight, Rob Van Dam will go one on one with Chris Platoon, that should be one heck of a match.... don't go away"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A PROMO IS SHOWN FOR TWF CODE RED ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW FOLLOWED BY A TWF.COM AD FOR THE NEW ONLINE SHOW, "KASHING IN". RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, PAUL LONDON IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH IDALIS. HE HAS THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Idalis: "Paul, earlier tonight, Chaos Wolf challenged you to a rematch for the Lightheavyweight title but wants the match to be held under hardcore rules. Can you address that"? Paul London: "The way I look at it, Wolfie had his chance at the Royal Rumble and he proved he couldn't get the job done. As most of my fans know, I'm here to wrestle, I'm here to compete and I want to face the best lightheavyweights the world has to offer. I will not disrespect the people who've held this title but trying to keep it in a hardcore match. So I talked with Shane McMahon and together, we came up with an idea. Next week, there will be a lightheavyweight open which will determine a new number one contender. Now, if Wolfie wants to throw his name into the hat and try to win it, then.... he can have his rematch". LONDON WALKS AWAY AS THE TWF RE-WIND COMES UP. TWF RE-WIND SHOWS CHAVO GUERRERO DEFEATING MARINER ON THE JANUARY 24TH EDITION OF UPRISING WITH THE "GORY BOMB" BUT AFTER THE MATCH, MARINER ATTACKS HIM AND DELIVERS THE "H-BOMB". "WITH A THOUSAND WORDS TO SAY BUT ONE" BY DARKEST HOUR HITS AND MARINER MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH A MUCH DIFFERENT DEMEANOR THAN USUAL. Cole: "It was just a few weeks ago where this man inexplicably attacked Chavo Guerrero after a loss to him on Uprising and for what, it makes no sense". Ventura: "Simple Cole, to make an impact. He knew he was going nowhere doing what he was doing so obviously, something had to change". "OOOH CHAVO" IS HEARD, LEADING INTO CHAVO GUERRERO's MUSIC AND HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO A PRETTY GOOD POP. HE IS WEARING AN EDDIE GUERRERO BAND ON HIS RIGHT ARM. Cole: "Well I can tell ya that this man didn't take too well to the attack and we could see both of these men enter that Lightheavyweight open that we just heard about so a win here is crucial"! Ventura: "Ask Mariner if he cares how Chavo felt about the attack! This kid knew he had to make a move to enhance his career and he did it"! Mariner vs. Chavo Guerrero Chavo had some words with Mariner but the changed Mariner just slapped him across the face. Chavo tried to respond but Mariner used an armdrag into a top wristlock. Chavo was able nip up into a standing position before taking Mariner over with a twisting armbar before dropping a leg on his elbow. The chain wrestling continued until Mariner escaped a standing headlock by shooting Guerrero to the ropes and after dropping down and letting him hop over, he drilled him with a dropkick as he came off the other side. Mariner tried to stick to a ground game from that point, wearing Chavo down on the mat. But the "Chavo" chants from the crowd began to pick him up. Chavo got up and drove several elbows into his midsection before hitting the ropes and drilling him with a clothesline. After sending him to the ropes, Chavo shot Mariner into the air with a flapjack and he landed hard on the mat. Chavo then stuck a finger in the air before pulling Mariner up and lifting him to the top turnbuckle. Chavo then completed a high impact superplex but when he landed, he tried to roll into a cover and Mariner hooked his legs with his own and Chavo was pinned. Match Time: 8:06 Ventura: "He got him! What a move"! Cole: "Mariner has just picked up a huge win over Chavo and you're right, that was a great move"! "WITH A THOUSAND WORDS TO SAY BUT ONE" HIT AGAIN AND MARINER LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS AS CHAVO APPEALED THE COUNT TO REFEREE MIKE CHIODA. Ventura: "So far, the new attitude is looking like a great career move for Mariner"! BACKSTAGE..... SEAN O'HAIRE IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE, LOOKING AT HIS BLACK WIDOW IN A JAR AND HE DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY WHEN BAHAMUT COMES UP AND CROUCHES DOWN, LOOKING AT HIM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE JAR. Bahamut: "Ah look, if it ain't the former Intercontinental champ". O'HAIRE STANDS UP Sean O'Haire: "Look man, I'm not in the mood"! Bahamut: "Calm down, lucky for you, I'm looking for your friend Mordecai. So if you see him, ya know, in between that twisted crap you guys do together, let him know that I haven't forgotten what he did to me and he will pay for it". BAHAMUT LOOKS AT THE SPIDER AND JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD BEFORE WALKING AWAY. THE CAMERA SHOOTS TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN, LOOKING AT THE HOCKEY MASK IN HIS HAND. THE CROWD CHEERS AT HIS SIGHT AND GETS EVEN LOUDER WHEN TERRY FUNK APPEARS OVER HIS SHOULDER AND HE HAS A WORRIED LOOK ON HIS FACE. Jordan Rockwell: "Tonight's the last night for this thing Funker". Terry Funk: "Look Jordan, I know you want to retire that mask, but I really, really have a bad feeling about it". Rockwell: "That what? Nails is gonna return from the grave? Come on old man, you of all people shouldn't be worried". ROCKWELL SLAPS FUNK ON THE SHOULDER AND THE TWO MEN WALK OFF. BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE IS SHOWN KNEELING ON THE STAGE. HE THEN POPS UP AND THROWS OFF A SILVER CAPE BEFORE GOING INTO A SET OF POSES THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF THE MR. OLYMPIA CONTEST. Ventura: "Boy this kid is put together Cole". Cole: "Yes he is and some surprising news to pass along to the fans, he has decided to relieve Rick Martel of his managerial duties saying, he wants to prove to everyone he can get the job done himself". "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT TO A PRETTY BIG CHEER. Ventura: "I can't agree with that decision. You never want to get rid of a veteran presence the likes of the Model"! Cole: "Well nonetheless, he will have his first match without Martel here against Vlad the Impaler". "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs. Vlad the Impaler This was just a fight from the opening bell, showcasing very few wrestling moves. Vlad had more behind his punches and he began knocking the chiseled Masters around the ring. Off an irish whip, he sent him way into the air with a backbody drop before putting a jumping elbow drop right across the throat. He went into the cover but Masters was up at 2. Vlad pulled Masters up and hit him with 2 forearm shivers but Masters was able to reverse an irish whip and catch Vlad with a big powerslam. From there, he locked in a standing surfboard, pulling Vlad's arms as far from his body as he could. Vlad had no way to escape the hold but he refused to give it up. Masters picked him up and whipped him to the corner but Vlad was able to move out of the way of an oncoming clothesline before hitting a nice falling neckbreaker. Vlad then pulled Masters up and delivered a swinging neckbreaker at a very tight angle. Masters was in a lot of trouble but Vlad became distracted when he looked out into the crowd and saw a moving sign that said "WILL YOU BE READY TO CONFESS TO THE SAINT"? Vlad began yelling at the sign carrier when Masters came from behind, pulling him down with a handful of tights as referee Mickey Henson issued the 3 count. Match Time: 6:27 Cole: "What the hell is this thing with The Saint?! This is at least the second time he's cost Vlad a match"! Ventura: "And Chris Masters has benefitted from it! I didn't think I'd say it, but maybe he doesn't need Martel, this kid is on his way to the top"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE..... SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN SITTING AT HIS DESK WITH THE DOOR TO THE OFFICE OPEN WHEN SHANE THOMPSON WALKS IN, FOLLOWED BY 5 RIOT COPS. ONE OF THE MEN LAYS A PIECE OF PAPER DOWN ON THE DESK, IN FRONT OF SHANE. Shane McMahon: "Do we really need these guys"? Shane Thompson: "Around here I do. I mean, things on PrimeTime have been getting, shal we say, out of hand? I just saw some moron out there eating worms! Oh, and by the way, if you want to top Rampage's offer, you better start talking..... Shane-O". SHANE McMAHON LET's OUT A STRESSFUL SIGH AND STARTS TO LOOK OVER THE CONTRACT AS THOMPSON PULLS UP A CHAIR. A COMMERCIAL FOR KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "THE SIMPSON's". RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Chris Platoon vs. Rob Van Dam This was a great way to end the in ring portion of the night as these two had a very spirited, competitive match. Wanting to prove he belongs with the big names, Platoon came out hitting on all cylinders, showing some offense we've yet to see. At one point, RVD missed with a spinning jump kick and tried to hit a back footsweep on the way down but Platoon jumped over his leg and caught him with a jump kick right in the face. Platoon then took a page out of RVD's book, hitting a variation of the Rolling Thunder. RVD was able to kick out at 2 and when Platoon tried to pull him up, he punched him twice in the gut before kicking him once on each side, followed by a spinning heel kick. Not to be outdone, RVD then hit the Rolling Thunder before running to the nearest corner, looking for the split legged moonsault. But Platoon got his knees up and RVD struck them hard. Platoon followed up with a hellacious DDT and he rolled him over for the 1........2.........., but RVD was up! The crowd was on the edge of their seats as these two men went at it, looking for the knockout blow. Platoon then shot RVD to the corner and walked in, punching him right in the lower spine. He then grabbed him in a standing waistlock but Van Dam came up with a switch before throwing Platoon over his head with a release german suplex. Platoon landed hard on his head and neck before RVD got up on the top rope, quick as a cat and flew off with the "5 Star Frogsplash", getting all of it. After having the wind most likely knocked out of him, RVD topped Platoon as Mike Chioda issued the 3 count. Match Time: 9:21 Cole: "Oh what a match! Those two just put on one heck of a show and if you ask me, it's action like that that seperates PrimeTime from Rampage"! Ventura: "And look at the sportsmanship being shown here". PLATOON GOT TO HIS FEET WITH A HAND ON HIS CHEST BEFORE OFFERING IT TO RVD WHO ACCEPTED WITH A HANDSHAKE, A MOMENT THE CROWD REALLY SEEMED TO LIKE. Cole: "That right there is what it's all about"! BACKSTAGE.... IDALIS IS PACKING HER STUFF UP TO LEAVE WHEN VLAD THE IMPALER COMES UP. Vlad the Impaler: "Don't you have a microphone"? Idalis: "Uh no, I'm getting ready to leave". Vlad: "Bring that damn camera over here! THE CAMERA MOVES TOWARDS VLAD AND HE GRABS IT WITH BOTH HANDS. Listen you son of a bitch, whoever you are! Whoever you are holding the damn signs and costing me matches, if you got any guts at all, you show up next week here on PrimeTime"! IN TOTAL FRUSTRATION, VLAD TAKES THE CAMERA AND SLAMS IT ON THE FLOOR, CRUSHING IT. THE SHOT IS OUT FOR A MOMENT BEFORE IT OPENS BACK UP INSIDE THE ARENA. "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO THE BIGGEST CHEER OF THE NIGHT WITH TERRY FUNK AT HIS SIDE. IN ONE HAND, HE HAS THE HOCKEY MASK AND IN THE OTHER, A SLEDGEHAMMER. HE IS ALSO STRANGELY WEARING A KID GUNDAM T-SHIRT. Cole: "For those of you who did not see the Royal Rumble, the fact that there are any survivors from the Buried Alive match is simply amazing"! Ventura: "It will go down as one of the most brutal matches in TWF history Michael but I wanna know what Rockwell's doing with that sledgehammer"! Jordan Rockwell: "A long time ago, I would say about three years ago, I learned that you are going to have haters on your case and that it was up to you to make them believe.
Rockwell points at his shirt.
I learned that lesson from an old friend of mine!
The fans cheered and began chants of "Gundam".
So I come out here and I do exactly that and I proved that to be very true at the Royal Rumble when I put Nails back in hell where he belongs!
The fans cheer again.
And if you're out there watching, let me just tell you this, I don't give a crap whether you try to make another comeback or not. Because right here tonight, I'm putting an end to it on my side"! ROCKWELL DROPS THE MASK AND GRABS THE SLEDGEHAMMER FROM FUNK. Cole: "What's he gonna do"? Rockwell: "Ya see, at one time, I saw this damn mask in my sleep and now, I want to be the one to retire it forever". ROCKWELL GRABS THE HAMMER WITH BOTH HANDS BUT JUST AS HE's ABOUT TO SMASH IT, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. Ventura: "What the.......... AFTER A MOMENT OF SILENCE, THE VERY FAMILIAR SOUND OF A BELL TOLLS THREE TIMES, BRINGING THE CROWD TO A CHEER. Cole: "Oh my...... it can't be"! OFF AIR.......
