It was the last PrimeTime before WrestleMania 7 and the FedEx Forum was rockin', ready for the show. Chavo Guerrero vs. Frankie Kazarian Kazarian gave Chavo a run for his money here but Chavo countered out of the "Wave of the Future" and delivered a devastating twisting brainbuster drop to get the win. Taylor Made vs. Mariner Two men in desperate need of a win went move for move here with both superstars getting several near falls. But Taylor got in an undetected mule kick which led to the "Customizer" and that did it. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE *DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, THIS EDITION OF PRIMETIME WILL BE CONDENSED* PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR AND THE SHOT OPENS RIGHT INSIDE THE FEDEX FORUM AS A LOUD "WOOOOO" IS HEARD AND RIC FLAIR COMES OUT TO A TREMENDOUS REACTION AS MICHAEL COLE AND JESSE VENTURA OPEN THE SHOW. Ric Flair vs. Daivari Flair looked very ready for this match and the match to come at WrestleMania with Muhammad Hassan. As the bell sounded, Cole made mention of Hassan being barred from ringside by Shane McMahon. Daivari tried to gain the upper hand with a thumb to the eyes but that played right into Flair's hands as he retaliated with a thumb to the eyes of his own before grabbing the genitals of Daivari. After pounding the chest of Daivari with several knifeedge chops, Flair hit a shinbreaker and was setting Daivari up for the finish when over the loudspeakers, some sort of Arabic chant was heard and Flair demanded that whoever it was come to the ring. Daivari came from behind with a rollup but Flair kicked out at 2 and then grabbed Daivari in a standing waistlock but Daivari got in a mule kick that referee Charles Robinson never saw and he followed that up with a jumping roundhouse kick to the head and covered Flair, hooking the leg for the 3 count and a huge upset. Match Time: 6:21 COMMERCIAL BREAK........ RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Cole confirmed that on TWF Main Event, The Orient Express will defend the tag team titles against The Brood. 6 Man Tag team match The Brood and Rome vs. The Orient Express and Jaded Menhir w/ Sonny Onoo This match was pretty much a brawl inside and outside the ring with the two teams involved in next week's title match trying to gain an advantage on the other. Gangrel and Johnny Swinger combined to isolate Tanaka in the ring, not allowing him to make a tag to Menhir or Kato, who both had short stints in the ring early in the match. Finally, The Brood put Tanaka down with a double Impaler DDT but Kato came in to break up the 3 count. Sonny Onoo then got on the apron with his handful of salt but before he could throw it, Rome came over and pulled him down. Rome then picked up Onoo in a gorilla press but Menhir smashed Rome across the back with a steel chair, causing a DQ. Cole made mention of the fact that Menhir claims he wants wrestling back to the days of old, but so far has shown the opposite. Match Time: 6:50 BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW BAHAMUT WHEN RANDY ORTON COMES UP. Randy Orton: "Hey, what's up big man? BAHAMUT QUICKLY TURNS AND ORTON PUTS HIS HANDS UP. Hey, don't get hostile with me man, I just wanted to say I saw your old buddy Strife qualify for the Choose Your Destiny match for Rampage. Yeah, that's great, too bad you couldn't do the same". Bahamut: "Do you want to be taken out of that match"? Orton: "Look, I didn't come for trouble, I just thought maybe you could put a word in his ear that it is my destiny to win that match at WrestleMania seven! Oh..... and you can tell him I'll go easy on him, I promise". ORTON WALKS AWAY AND BAHAMUT IS LESS THAN THRILLED. KEN KENNEDY COMES TO THE RING TO DO SOME GUEST COMMENTARY. Non-Title Match Orlando Jordan vs. Intercontinental Champion Heidenreich Heidenreich was able to establish an advantage using his size to overpower Jordan. But after missing with a clothesline off an irish whip, Jordan stung Heidenreich with a right jab before going into his boxing shuffle but Heidenreich fired back with a right hand that knocked Jordan to the mat. Heidenreich then backed Orlando into the corner, smashing him with elbows. But after backing up a few steps, he charged into the corner and Jordan was waiting with a foot to the face. He then ran out but Heidenreich caught him with the scrapbuster slam and covered him to get the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 5:09 After the match, Kennedy came into the ring and got in a few cheap shots but after hitting the ropes, he was slammed with a clothesline. Heidenreich then launched Kennedy over the top rope, drawing a big cheer. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....... Rob Conway vs. The Boogeyman Conway got in several shots to the Boogeyman, none of which seemed to phase him and after catching Conway with a powerslam, he picked him up and delivered a pump handle buster. But instead of going for the cover, he went to a bag he had setting in the corner and pulled out a handful of worms before shoving them in the mouth of Conway! Referee Mickey Henson immediately called for the bell as Boogeyman poured the rest of the bag's contents all over the mat. But then, Sean O'Haire came down the ramp with a jar full of live spiders! He opened the jar and let it into the ring. At first, it looked like Boogeyman was actually scared but then, he picked up one of the spiders and to the shock of everyone watching, he ate it! O'Haire couldn't believe his eyes as it became clear that the Boogeyman doesn't have arachnaphobia. Match Time: 7:01 BACKSTAGE...... IDALIS IS SHOWN WITH EDDIE SAINT JAMES IN THE BACK. Idalis: "I am here at this time with The Saint who at TWF Main Event, will take on Vlad the Impaler. Now Eddie, for weeks it's been reported that you are hanging something over Vlad's head, some sort of secret. Will him challenging you to this match force that to come out"? Eddie Saint James (laughs): "Well, I suppose it could. But Vlad shouldn't worry. Oh no, because he will be at Main Event as well". Idalis: "He? Who is he"? Saint James: "Vlad knows him quite well and let's just say that at Main Event, there will be a reunion. Now, Idalis, let's ask you a question. Don't you have something you want to confess.... something about your sex life"? Idalis: "What? Excuse me"! Saint James: "Suit yourself, it will only plague you until you open up to someone". EDDIE SAINT JAMES WALKS AWAY, LEAVING IDALIS WITH A STRANGE LOOK ON HER FACE. Rene Dupree w/ Dawn Marie vs. Christian Two men that will both compete in the Choose Your Destiny match at WrestleMania went at it here and after absorbing a punishing attack, Christian got back into the match with a reverse DDT. Christian then went on the offensive himself, taking Dupree to the limit but with him all set up for the "Un-Prettier", Christian let go of the hold when he saw Randy Orton come out. Christian ran and took a swing at Orton but was way off and this allowed Dupree to come from behind with a schoolboy to win the match, possibly the biggest win of his TWF career. But he wasn't able to celebrate long as when he turned with his arms raised, he was put down by the "RKO" by Orton who then slithered out of the ring with a huge smile on his face. Match Time: 7:48 BACKSTAGE........ SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE WHEN EDGE WALKS IN. Edge: "So, I heard that chump Bobby Eaton contacted you about facing me sometime in a "special challenge" match". Shane McMahon: "Yeah, he sure did. He hasn't forgotten what you did to him a few weeks ago". Edge: "Good, and I hope he remembers it the rest of his life. If you talk to him before my match, tell him what I'm gonna do to Batista tonight, and then again at WrestleMania"! McMahon: "Well I wouldn't damage Batista too much tonight. Because you see, I have just made a match for TWF Main Event, along with Rampage GM Mick Foley that will see his main event, Travis Wakeman teaming up with High Octane against my main event, you teaming with Batista". EDGE's EYES LOOK LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO POP OUT OF HIS HEAD WHEN SHANE WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Non-Title Match Ultimo Dragon vs. Lightheavyweight Champ Paul London These two men put on one heck of a display in the ring, showcasing how talented the Lightheavyweight division of the TWF is. London was in trouble early but was able to avoid the Asai moonsault before drilling the Dragon with a shining wizard that got him a 2 count. After taking a few kicks to the body, Ultimo was able to reverse an irish whip but London slid between his legs and drilled him with the dropsault. He then went to the top rope and Ultimo looked ripe for the picking but Ultimo got his knees up on the 450 splash attempt. Ultimo got to his feet and grabbed London, delivering the Dragon DDT to get a big, big win. Match Time: 8:50 BACKSTAGE...... VLAD THE IMPALER IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN CHRIS PLATOON COMES UP. Chris Platoon: "Hey Vlad, I heard what The Saint said a little bit ago. Man, that guy is crazy". Vlad: "Yeah, I know". Platoon: "Well I just wanted to stop by and say that if you need any help with him, let me know. Sounds to me like you're gonna need it". PLATOON WALKS AWAY AS VLAD JUST LOOKS ON. JBL comes to the ring and is still ranting and raving over Jordan Rockwell interrupting him a few weeks ago before reminding everyone that Rockwell told him he has "bigger things to worry about". JBL insists that Rockwell come to the ring to "face him like a man". Rockwell promptly comes out in street clothes and gets into the ring as JBL removes his cowboy hat. Just as the two are about to go at it, a voice is heard, that of Paul Bearer. Paul Bearer: "Ohhhhhh Rockwell. My Undertaker plans to be at TWF Main Event to do as you asked..... and accept your challenge for a match at WrestleMania". BEARER TURNS TO LEAVE WHEN JBL CHARGES ROCKWELL, LOOKING FOR THE "CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL". BUT ROCKWELL DUCKS AND GETS IN A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION FOLLOWED BY THE "EXTREME MEASURES". ROCKWELL JUST LOOKED DOWN AT JBL BEFORE TURNING TO SEE IF PAUL BEARER WAS STILL THERE, BUT HE WASN'T. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE....... RIC FLAIR IS SHOWN WITH ARN ANDERSON IN THE BACK. Ric Flair: "I'm tellin' ya Double A, I'm gonna teach that son of a bitch Hassan a lesson at Mania! Take him to school...... wooooooo"! Arn Anderson: "I've got no doubt in my mind buddy". Flair: "Alright, I'll see ya at the restaurant later". FLAIR AND ANDERSON SHAKE HANDS AND FLAIR GOES OUT OF THE ARENA. BUT WHEN ARN ANDERSON TURNS AROUND, HE HAS MUHAMMAD HASSAN IN FRONT OF HIM. HASSAN DOESN'T SAY A WORD, JUST PUNCHES ANDERSON IN THE MOUTH BEFORE BOOTING HIM IN THE GUT. ALL THIS LEADS TO A SEVERE BEATING THAT ENDS WITH HASSAN THROWING ANDERSON HARD INTO THE BRICK WALL. HE THEN ADDS INSULT TO INJURY, SPITTING ON THE FALLEN ANDERSON. FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM WHEN WORLD's COLLIDE OF SHANE THOMPSON HITTING LASHLEY WITH A SINGAPORE CANE FOR THE 4TH TIME. Batista and Bobby Lashley vs. Edge and Shane Thompson Two of WrestleMania's marquee matches were put on center stage here and it was an extremely exciting match. But towards the end, Edge was able to spear Batista off the apron only to turn right into the clutches of Lashley who hit a belly to belly suplex. Lashley looked ready to put Edge away but he made the tag to Batista, who wanted to put the finishing touches on. But Thompson came around with a Singapore cane, smashing Lashley across the back with it as referee Mike Chioda called for the bell. Edge went for another spear but this time, Batista kicked him right in the head. Edge rolled out of the ring as Lashley made a push towards Thompson up the ramp. Thompson's riot police came out but one by one, Lashley took them on, throwing them around like rag dolls. Finally, Thompson made it to the back and out of sight as the shot faded out. Match Time: 8:28
