PrimeTime came to a smaller venue, the Tyson Events center but the action was still hot in Sioux City on the road to WrestleMania 7! Chris Platoon vs. Sonny Siaki (invitee) Siaki provided a tough opposition for Platoon, who seemed a little off his game. But after reversing an irish whip, he caught Siaki with a hard spinebuster which led to the "Last Chance" and the 1....2...3. Orlando Jordan vs. Taylor Made It was a rematch from last week's PrimeTime and it was another very good, athletic match between two young PrimeTime stars. Taylor was able to counter out of the "Black Ice" but when he missed with a spinning heel kick, Jordan put him down with a devastating right cross which led to the 3 count. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS SOON AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, THE SCENE OPENS IN SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE AS SHANE THOMPSON ENTERS THE ROOM, WITH THE RIOT POLICE. Shane Thompson: "Let's talk contract Shane". Shane McMahon: "Uh, that's Mister McMahon to you. And as much as I'd love to talk contract with you, I have a better idea. Ya see, you know as well as anybody that PrimeTime has always been known as the land of oppurtunity. So tonight, we start the process to determine exactly who will go to the main event at WrestleMania in what I have called the Oppurtunity Knocks tournament. In just a minute, we're gonna have our first match in the tournament but if I were you, I'd go get ready because tonight's other match is between you and the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Wooooooo"! Thompson: "You think that bothers me? You remember who main evented WrestleMania last year, don't you? Come on guys, Mister McMahon wants to see Ric Flair get his ass kicked later"! THOMPSON AND THE RIOT COPS LEAVE THE OFFICE AND McMAHON JUST SMILES AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING WHERE CHRIS MASTERS IS COMING OUT TO HIS MUSIC. Michael Cole: "So you just heard it folks, tonight we will begin the Oppurtunity Knocks tournament to crown a new number one contender who will head to the main event at WrestleMania 7"! "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER. Ventura: "And not only that, we might crown a new Universal champion tonight as we have a TLC match which these people can't wait for"! Cole: "This will be the first match in the Oppurtunity Knocks tournament and as we heard earlier, Shane Thompson will also take on Ric Flair in the tournament tonight! It's single elimination so mistakes will be costly"! Oppurtunity Knocks Tournament 1st Round "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs. Bahamut This match was hard hitting from the opening bell as two of the strongest men on the PrimeTime roster slugged it out. After a big backbody drop, Bahamut hit Masters with a hard clothesline before whipping him to the corner but no one was home when he charged in. Masters then tried to sneak on the "Masterlock", only to see Bahamut wiggle free before he had it on. Bahamut then kicked him in the face with a big boot before going for a gorilla press slam. But Masters got free with an elbow to the face before lifting Bahamut up onto his shoulders and driving him into the mat with a powerslam. Masters went for a cover but was only able to get a 2 count. He again called for the Masterlock but this time, Bahamut came up with a standing switch into a backdrop suplex. With Masters in a lot of trouble, a ray of white light shined down in the ring, encompassing Bahamut. He turned to look up at it and that allowed Masters to come from behind, putting on the Masterlock. He had it cinched in and Bahamut quickly started to fade. Referee Mike Enos checked his arm and it dropped like a feather and that was all Enos needed to see, calling for the bell. Match Time: 10:43 Cole: "That white light shined down on Bahamut and it's cost him the match! I think we all know who was behind that partner"! Ventura: "But the important thing here is Masters has advanced in the tournament"! CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS AS BAHAMUT PICKED HIMSELF UP IN THE RING, USING THE ROPES. Cole: "A win is a win and you're right, he has advanced! But something tells me that Bahamut isn't gonna let this incident go"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING EDGE ON ONE SIDE AND CHRISTIAN, WEARING THE UNIVERSAL TITLE ON THE OTHER. IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM IS A LADDER, A TABLE AND A STEEL CHAIR. Ventura: "And as promised, for the Universal title right here tonight on FOX, Edge will battle Christian for the Universal title"! Cole: "Christian had a party last week celebrating his pay-per-view hat trick over Edge but can he beat him in a TLC match"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR TWIX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "8 BELOW" STARRING PAUL WALKER. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, MUHAMMAD HASSAN AND DAIVARI HAVE CONFRONTED SHANE McMAHON. Muhammad Hassan: "This is an outrage! How can I not be in the number one contender's tournament, but somebody like Ric Flair is"?! DAIVARI SEEMS TO BE REPEATING WHAT HASSAN SAID IN A PAKISTANI TONGUE. Shane: "That's enough! The championship committee selected the eight men they thought deserved to be in the tournament and apparently, they didn't think you were one of them. Excuse me"! SHANE WALKS BY BOTH MEN. Hassan: "We'll see about that". The Brood vs. La Familia Shortly into the match, Sonny Onoo came out with his tag team champions Orient Express and they observed what seems to be the only two contenders to their titles. Psychosis and Super Crazy controlled the tempo of this match, hitting Johnny Swinger with an erray of high flying moves. But when Psychosis missed with a guillotine legdrop, Swinger got up and tried to make the tag. Super Crazy came into to prevent it, jumping on Swinger's back by Swinger drove him into the corner before pulling him right into a vicious DDT. Gangrel made the tag and grabbed Psychosis in a front facelock. But Psychosis wormed his way free and went for an irish whip only to have Gangrel reverse it right into the Impaler DDT and that was all she wrote. Match Time: 6:17 AFTER THE MATCH, THE BROOD LOCKED EYES WITH THE ORIENT EXPRESS AND SONNY ONOO PULLED THEM TO THE BACK. BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM..... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TRACI BROOKS IN A VERY REVEALING OUTFIT, LOOKING AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR. JUST THEN, AXL IRVIN WALKS IN. Axl Irvin: "Honey, what is that"? Traci Brooks: "It's the dress I put on your credit card this morning. I thought we were going out to dinner". Irvin: "You're gonna go in that? Look, I've been meaning to tell you, I'd like you to tone it down. I mean...... Traci: "Oh, but if you've noticed, you've actually been winning matches with me acting this way. I told you I'd find a way to get you on a winning streak". THEY WALK OUT OF THE ROOM AND START DOWN THE HALL. Irvin: "Yeah, I know but I........ JUST THEN, ORLANDO JORDAN COMES UP. Orlando Jordan: "Hey Traci, I just wanted to say that what I saw last week with you.... wow. I mean, I always thought you were hot but that was...... Irvin: "Hey! Get the hell away man"! JORDAN PUTS HIS HANDS UP AND WALKS AWAY AS TRACI HOLDS AXL BACK. *** DUE TO SERIOUS TIME CONSTRAINTS, RESULTS WILL BE CONDENSED FROM THIS POINT *** Batista and Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton and Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie The 4 of these men have been confirmed to be in the Oppurtunity Knocks tournament and the powerhouse team of Batista and Lashley seemed to be too much for Orton and Dupree. But Dupree, who will face Batista next week in the tournament, was able to catch the animal with a swinging neckbreaker after being irish whipped and that allowed him to bring in Orton. Orton came in and took a cheap shot at Lashley who tried to come into the ring but was stopped by referee Charles Robinson. Batista then caught Orton with his spinebuster but Dupree came from behind and kicked him in the groin. That allowed Orton to recover and schoolboy Batista to pin him and it was the rookie mistake of Lashley that cost the team. Match Time: 12:05 BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW SEAN O'HAIRE COME ACROSS A BAG OF LIVE WORMS AND HE LOOKS AT THEM WITH DISGUST BEFORE FINDING AN ARENA JANITOR AND THROWING THEM IN HIS TRASH CAN.

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, JORDAN ROCKWELL CROSSES PATHES WITH CHRISTIAN AND WISHES HIM LUCK IN THE TLC MATCH LATER. CHRISTIAN HOPES HE HASN'T ANGERED THE UNDERTAKER BUT ROCKWELL SAYS HE WILL ADDRESS THAT LATER. IN THE RING, KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT AND TEASES REVEALING HIS NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. BUT ROME COMES OUT AND SAYS HE IS SICK OF KENNEDY ALWAYS RUNNING HIS MOUTH. THE TWO EXCHANGE WORDS AND KENNEDY SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE AND CALLS HIM A "MUSCLEBOUND SANDPERSON". BUT THAT LEADS TO ROME TO KNOCK KENNEDY DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE HANDING OUT A SERIOUS BEATDOWN. KENNEDY RETREATS AS THE FANS CHEER. WRESTLEMANIA REPLAY SHOWS THE LADDER MATCH FOR THE EUROPEAN TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA 3 BETWEEN SCOTT STEINER AND JORDAN ROCKWELL BUT IN THE PLACE OF ROCKWELL IS THE BURGER KING WHO KNOCKS STEINER OFF THE LADDER AND GRABS THE TITLE, FALLING TO THE MAT AS LITA JUMPS ON HIM IN CELEBRATION. PAUL LONDON, CARRYING HIS LIGHTHEAYVWEIGHT TITLE, COMES OUT TO DO GUEST COMMENTARY. #1 Contender Lightheavyweight Open Mariner vs. Essa Rios vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Frankie Kazarian vs. Chaos Wolf Elimination rules applied here so the last man standing would win it. Mariner was quickly put out first by Chavo Guerrero who took advantage of a big superkick by Kazarian and rolled him up for the pin. Chaos Wolf then put Ultimo out with the "Chaos Driver", knocking it down to 4 men. Chaos Wolf and Kazarian teamed up against Essa Rios and Chavo and there was some great action in the ring. After backdropping Wolf out of the ring, Rios got a running start and flew over the top rope with a suicide dive, landing right on Wolf. In the ring, Chavo countered the "Wave of the Future" and hit Kazarian with a brainbuster drop. But from there, he went to the top rope and pointed to the sky before hitting the Frog Splash, the move his uncle Eddie made famous and that eliminated Chavo. But outside the ring, Rios was in a struggle with Chae, who jumped on his shoulders. Chavo didn't see Wolf come from behind and he rolled him up but Chavo kicked out at 2. Wolf then hit the ropes but missed with a clothesline and both men were thinking the same thing, going for crossbody blocks, only to slam into each other. After flinging Chae off him, Rios went to the top rope and flew off with his moonsault onto Chavo to get the 3 count. It was down to Wolf and Rios and Wolf just began working him with his punishing, yet very effective style. After a big DDT, he decided to go to the top rope. But Rios got up and ran up the turnbuckle, bringing him off with a frankensteiner that brought the crowd to their feet. But somehow, Wolf kicked out at 2! Rios tried to go back to the top rope but Wolf followed him, sweeping his legs out and racking him on the top rope. He then climbed to the top turnbuckle, looking for a super backdrop. But Rios was able to reverse his position in mid air and they landed on the mat with Rios on top and referee Mike Chioda made the 3 count. Match Time: 14:48 CHAOS WOLF AND CHAE WERE STUNNED AS RIOS CELEBRATED THE WIN AND LONDON ROSE FROM HIS CHAIR AND APPLAUDED THE PERFORMANCE. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, A MAN, DRESSED IN ALL BLACK, IS SHOWN WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON HIM IN THE CROWD, SITTING AMONGST THE FANS. Man: "It is all time for you to learn the identity of The Saint. It's me, Eddie St. James. And I have come here to PrimeTime to get the truth! Too often these days, we are lied to, we are told stories and tonight, I want you all to open up! I want you to confess to The Saint, whether it be good or bad, you have to know that I won't judge you. So, let's go to this guy here in the red shirt. Sir, we are two months into the new year, have you followed your new years resolution so far"? Fan: "Well, my resolution was to get a girlfriend, and I really thought I could do it, but........ Eddie St. James: "Stop right there. If you see me after the show, I can help you in that department. Ya see, The Saint is here to help. How about you"? Female Fan: "Uh, do I have to"? St. James: "We said we were gonna be open, right? Repeat after me everybody. I am going to be open for The Saint". SOME OF THE CROWD REPEATS BUT MOST DON'T. Fan: "Well, my goal was to lose thirty pounds this year and I was doing great until I had a chocolate attack and I had to eat more and more of it! Eddie, if you were chocolate, I'd........ St. James: "Oooook, I think we get the idea". Fan: "I just want to get into the bikini I bought for the Summer". ST. JAMES TURNS WITH A DISGUSTED LOOK ON HIS FACE AND GAGS. BUT JUST THEN, VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT IN HIS STREET CLOTHES, TRYING TO COME THROUGH THE CROWD. Cole: "Oh thank God, somebody's gonna put an end to this nonsense"! Ventura: "Remember what Vlad said last week, he wanted this guy to show his face"! St. James: "Security, stop that man! You want to come kick my ass Vlad?! Come on, you take one more step and I swear to God, I'll tell all these people what you haven't told them! Do you really want that, huh Vlad"? Cole: "What? What's he got on Vlad"? VLAD HAS A VERY SERIOUS LOOK IN HIS EYES BUT HE BACKS AWAY AS ST. JAMES JUST LAUGHS. Ventura: "I don't know but whatever it is, it sure changed Vlad's attitude in a hurry"! BACKSTAGE....... WITH AN ICE PACK OVER HIS RIGHT EYE, KEN KENNEDY FINDS SHANE McMAHON AND TELLS HIM HE WANTS ROME IN A MATCH NEXT WEEK. SHANE AGREES TO IT. Oppurtunity Knocks Tournament 1st Round Ric Flair vs. Shane Thompson There was a lot of anticipation for this match and both men came out fighting. Thompson absorbed several knifegde chops and all the dirty tricks Flair usually has up his sleeve. But Thompson caught him with a flying back elbow after reversing an irish whip followed by a standing moonsault. Flair was able to kick out and when Shane tried to behead him with a superkick, Flair ducked and grabbed his right leg, hitting a nice shinbreaker. That led right into Flair going for the figure four but Daivari came from the crowd and jumped onto the apron, distracting referee Mickey Henson which allowed Muhammad Hassan to run out and get into the ring, putting Flair down with his modified STO. Hassan got out of the ring as Thompson rolled onto Flair and Henson got down to issue the 3 count. COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....... Non-Title Match Rob Conway vs. Intercontinental Champ Heidenreich Conway looked good early but Heidenreich was able to come alive after catching Conway with a stiff boot to the face. That got Heidenreich rolling and he blasted Conway with some clubbing right hands and some jabs before rocking him with a clothesline in the corner. After a running powerslam, it looked like Heidenreich was going to win it but Conway kicked out at it. Moments later, Conway was able to stack Heidenreich up in the corner after taking his legs out and then got his own feet on the top rope and the pin was registered. Match Time: 6:15 BACKSTAGE....... IDALIS INTERVIEWS EDGE WHO GUARANTEES HE WILL WIN BACK THE UNIVERSAL TITLE TONIGHT. JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES TO THE RING TO ADDRESS WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK. HE SAYS HE's NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, AND EVEN THOUGH HE's ALWAYS RESPECTED THE UNDERTAKER, HE IS NOT AFRAID OF HIM. ROCKWELL YELLS FOR UNDERTAKER TO TELL HIM WHAT SET HIM OFF BUT THE LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF AND A FOG FILLS THE RING. A CHILL FALLS OVER THE AIR AND THE BELL AGAIN TOLLS 3 TIMES. THEN, THE VOICE OF THE UNDERTAKER IS HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A FULL YEAR. Undertaker: "You have awoken the reaper. Your fate has been determined Rockwell...... may you rest....... in peace"! THE LIGHTS THEN TURN BACK ON AND ROCKWELL DEFINITELY LOOKS A LITTLE INTIMIDATED. COMMERCIAL BREAK........... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... TLC/TWF Universal Title Match Challenger: Edge vs. Christian As predicted, this was one hell of a match. With a spot in the WrestleMania 7 main event on the line, the former tag team partners went all out. Christian was able to hit the "Un-Prettier" after Edge missed the spear but before he could climb up and grab the title, Edge pushed the ladder out with his foot. Edge then made an attempt up the ladder but Christian recovered with 2 chair shots to the back that knocked Edge to the mat. Christian fell as well but he got up and tried to climb the ladder, only to have Edge follow him up from behind and get him in an electric chair, falling backwards with him. But then, Edge laid Christian on a table and grabbed a steel chair, climbing 3/4 of the way up the ladder. He then jumped off, smashing Christian's head against the table with the chair, a one man version of the Conchairto! The crowd couldn't believe what they were seeing but from there, Edge climbed up and unlatched the the belt, raising it abaove his head as "Metalingus" by Alterbridge loudly played. Edge has regained the gold! OFF AIR..........
