October 26, 2006
The TWF continued it's tour of the Pacific as the stars of PrimeTime came to the Pond of Anaheim. Uprising got the show started with 3 solid matchups. Chaos Wolf w/ Chae vs. Matt Sydal (invitee) Chaos Wolf thought he'd have it easy with the realitively unknown Sydal, even toying with him at one point. But after escaping the "Chaos Driver", Sydal hit a spinning back kick and a standing moonsault to nearly steal the match. But off an irish whip, Sydal put his head down too soon and Wolf scooped him up, delivering the Chaos Driver for the win. Super Crazy vs. Bill Cutting This was one hell of a match in the Lightheavyweight division with both men trying to move up the contenders ladder. Cutting was well in control of the match but as has been his problem, he couldn't put it away. After botching his H-Bomb, Super Crazy caught him with a sit out spinebuster before connecting with a beautiful top rope moonsault for the win. Non-Title Match Vlad the Impaler w/ James Mitchell vs. Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley Coming off his win in the 6 man tag team match last week, Vlad looked to upset the Intercontinental champion in the main event of Uprising. But Lashley wasn't having it and after a devastating spear, he put Vlad down with the Dominator Slam to win the match. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR's KING OF THE RING TOURNAMENT ARE SHOWN. Michael Cole: "Last year, superstars like Muhammad Hassan, Mordecai, Rene Dupree and Axl Irvin all went deep in the King of the Ring tournament. In the end, it was Hassan who was named King of PrimeTime, But he earned no respect from his peers and was unable to find a single partner for the final challenge which was ultimately won by PrimeTime. SHOTS OF CM PUNK, JOHNNY NITRO, KEVIN THORN, FINLAY AND SHANE THOMPSON ARE SHOWN. This year, a new set of men steps forward, ready to claim the prize. Who will it be? Qualifying begins tonight......... "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AS PRIMETIME's OPENING MONTAGE KICKS ON. THE POND COMES INTO THE SHOT AND PRIMETIME's ORANGE AND SILVER RING IS SHOWN WITH THE KING OF THE RING LOGO IN THE CENTER OF THE MAT. Michael Cole: "Hello everybody and welcome to TWF PrimeTime here on Fox! Michael Cole and Jesse "The Body" Ventura ringside and ready to call all of tonight's action, right partner"?! Jesse Ventura: "Well as you so eloquently put it in that opening monalogue, the King of the Ring gets underway tonight and we all know that it is one of the best times of the year to be a wrestling fan"! Cole: "Sixteen PrimeTime superstars will be battling for the right to call themselves royalty, Jess, and we have four qualifying matches tonight"! THE LIGHTS DIM AND A RED HAZE FALLS OVER THE ARENA AS KEVIN THORN's GOTHIC MUSIC PLAYS AND HE AND ARIEL STEP OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS. ARIEL LEADS THORN, WHO IS CARRYING SOME SORT OF WALKING STICK, DOWN THE RAMP. Ventura: "And the tournament is gonna start with the bizarro duo of these two"! Cole: "Well Halloween is less than a week away, how would you like to get these two knocking at your door and shouting trick or treat"?! Ventura: "That's why I just leave all the lights off and pretend I'm not home, Michael"! "OOOOH CHAVO" IS HEARD AND CHAVO GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. Cole: "Well to say Chavo Guerrero has his hands full tonight would be a huge understatement. Kevin Thorn has been nothing short of dominant since he debuted here on PrimeTime but he's yet to face someone with the experience under their belt that Chavo has". Ventura: "He comes from a great wrestling family but he'll have to have some of the wrestling gods on his side tonight". King of the Ring Qualification Match Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Chavo Guerrero The bell rang to start the match and Chavo baited Thorn in and when Thorn lunged, Chavo sidestepped him and used a drop toehold before jumping up into a side headlock. But Thorn got up, lifting Chavo over his head before just dropping him across his knee with a backbreaker. Off an irish whip, Thorn knocked Chavo to the mat with a big clothesline before pulling him up and just dropping him over the top ring rope from a suplex position. He then hit the ropes and just kicked Chavo right in the side of the head. After pushing Chavo back into the ring, Thorn made the cover but only got a 2 count. Thorn picked Chavo up and pushed him to the corner before using his right hand to choke him. From there, Thorn shot him to the far corner and ran in but missed with a shoulder when Chavo moved. Chavo then hit a jumping neckbreaker drop to bring him back into the match. After putting the boots to Thorn, Chavo whipped him to the ropes and dropkicked him right in the left kneecap. The fans were really getting behind Chavo who somehow got the near 300 pound Thorn up and dropped him with a brainbuster style suplex. He made the cover right in the middle of the ring as the crowd counted along, 1.........2......., but, perhaps on instinct alone, Thorn got a shoulder off the mat. Chavo then went outside the ring and climbed one of the turnbuckles, looking to the heavens. But he took too long up there and Thorn got up, punching him right in the gut. From there, he hit the nasty Stunner move he has been using, and Chavo fell to the mat for Thorn to cover and get the pin. Match Time: 7:58 Cole: "That is as devastating a manuever we have seen in quite some time and this guy is on a roll"! Ventura: "Thorn looks unstoppable Michael, Chavo is no pushover"! THORN AND ARIEL CELEBRATE THE WIN AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS. Cole: "It's gonna take a heck of an effort to get this guy out of the tournament, we might be looking at one of the favorites"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ COMMERCIALS FOR TACO BELL AND ONE FOR TWF FIGURES BY ROME PRODUCTIONS ARE SHOWN. A HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE FEATURING CARNEY RUNS AND HIS VOICE IS HEARD. Carney: "I can do things that no one else can do inside that ring. CARNEY PERFORMING A CORKSCREW MOONSAULT IS SHOWN. I thrived when I was here on PrimeTime. HE IS SHOWN AGAIN RIGHT AFTER WINNING THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. I may've taken some bad advice. CARNEY IS SHOWN AS PART OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN AND HE IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPY. But I'm back, and I'm ready to thrive again". A CLOSE UP SHOT OF CARNEY IS SHOWN AND HE LOOKS VERY DETERMINED. CARNEY....... RETURNS SOON....... BACKSTAGE AREA....... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS PICK UP JOHN CENA APPROACHING JOHNNY HAZARD. John Cena: "Hey bro, it's good to know there's a few guys around here that got my back.... appreciate what you did last week man". Johnny Hazard: "Hey, it wasn't a big deal, plus I got some more shots in on those punks Shelley and Thompson". Cena: "Well things ain't over between me and those two, not by far". Hazard: "Oh yeah, I owe both of them a good ass kickin'". Cena: "Alright man, good to know, I'll check ya later". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" BY THE BLANK THEORY HITS AND ALEX SHELLEY COMES OUT, CARRYING HIS CAMCORDER AND A TRIPOD. Cole: "And speaking of Alex Shelley, here he comes now". SHELLEY SETS UP HIS CAMERA AND TRIPOD AT THE END OF THE ENTRY WAY BEFORE CLIMBING INTO THE RING. Ventura: "Yeah, all he's done is defeat both the guys we just saw backstage in his first two TWF matches! I like this kid's chances in this tournament, Michael". ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT, TURNING THE FANS' BOOS INTO CHEERS WHILE FLAMES PUFF OUT FROM EACH SIDE OF THE RAMP. Cole: "Well he's drawn a tough first opponent here in the Ultimo Dragon, a man who has had a very successful career here in the TWF"! Ventura: "Two men who know a lot about the art of wrestling, this should be one heck of a battle"! King of the Ring Qualification Match Alex Shelley vs. Ultimo Dragon From the opening bell, this was an awesome match. Each man had the other very well scouted and there were so many counters it was hard to keep track of. Shelley caught the Dragon running in with a kick to the gut but after hitting the ropes himself, Ultimo knocked him down with a back footsweep. Ultimo quickly tried to go for the Asai moonsault but Shelley rolled out of the way. Ultimo landed on his feet and used a reverse leapfrog before catching Shelley with a monkey flip. Ultimo then used a mandara hineri into a pinning combination to get a very near fall. Ultimo went for an irish whip to the corner but Shelley reversed it. Ultimo tried to sling over him but Shelley stopped his momentum and grabbed him around the waist before hitting a nasty german suplex for the 1..........2........., but Ultimo was up. Shelley controlled the next 3 minutes of the match, keeping Ultimo on the mat with a couple of submission holds including one of his own- the Dragon Sleeper. Ultimo figured out a quick counter to it though and turned it into a northern lights suplex. Referee Mike Enos got down to make the 1........2......., but Shelley hit Ultimo on either side of the ribs to break the pin attempt. Ultimo hit the ropes but Shelley caught him with a wonderful hip toss slam. He then picked him up and shot him to the corner but Ultimo immediately leaped up to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a reverse back kick. He then went for the Asai moonsault but on his way down, Shelley got the knees up in his abdomen. Shelley pulled the Dragon up by his mask, looking for the "Shellshock". But Ultimo countered out and shoved Shelley into the ropes, kicking him in the stomach and hitting the "Dragon DDT" out of nowhere, topping him for the 1........2..........3! Match Time: 9:50 Cole: "He got him! What a great counter by the Dragon and he's advanced in the tournament"! Ventura: "Alex Shelley was as surprised as I was there, I thought he had him"! ULTIMO LEFT THE RING WITH HIS ARMS RAISED AS THE FANS CHEERED AND HIS MUSIC PLAYED. Cole: (laughing) "I wonder if he's gonna save that video tape"! BACKSTAGE....... MARIA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH RANDY ORTON, WHO HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE DRAPED OVER HIS SHOULDER. Maria: "Randy, last week on PrimeTime, you were challenged to a match by Taz. Can you...... Randy Orton: "Hold on a second sweet stuff, you want me to talk about Taz? I have nothing to say about........ JUST THEN, THE BLOOD BROTHERS APPROACH ORTON. Dustin Kash: "Can we go somewhere and talk..... in private"? Sean O'Haire: "We think we can benefit each other". Orton: "Sure, let's hear it". ORTON WALKS AWAY WITH BOTH O'HAIRE AND KASH. GREGORY HELMS' MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BUNCH OF BOOS. Cole: "What the heck is that about"? Ventura: "They're gonna go talk business Michael, what's it look like"? Cole: "Yeah, I bet they are. Gregory Helms set for action here and wait until you hear the reaction for his opponent"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A MIXTURE OF CHEERS AND BOOS. IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHICH THERE ARE MORE OF. Ventura: "Sounds like not everyone is a John Cena fan to me"! Cole: "It certainly does, but John Cena told me that like him or hate him, he will always stand in the ring and fight and he will work to get all these people on his side"! Ventura: "That's just so touching, Michael. Meanwhile, Gregory Helms is getting ready to spring the upset"! Cole: "We saw Cena defeated in his return to PrimeTime by Alex Shelley and one can surmise that he is very hungry for a win here against Helms"! Gregory Helms vs. John Cena The bell sounded and Cena moved in on Helms, ready to lock up. But Helms ducked under the top rope and Cena was forced back by referee Mickey Henson. Helms came out and Cena again moved in but Helms asked Henson to pat him down for foreign objects. Henson moved Cena back to a corner and checked him from top to bottom. Helms was getting a kick out of it but Cena had had enough, charging out of the corner with a tackle before pounding away on Helms who did everything he could to shield the blows. Cena then picked him up and shot him to the ropes, hitting a back elbow. Helms was in a lot of trouble but after backing to a corner, he kicked Cena in the abdomen as he moved in before smashing him with 2 right hands. Off an irish whip, Helms hit a jumping clothesline which knocked Cena to the mat. Helms then went for one of his trademark moves, the shining wizard, but Cena ducked and picked Helms up, delivering his spinning sideslam. After a flying shoulder block, Cena was set up for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle when something was picked up on the PrimeTron. It was the scene from earlier between Cena and Johnny Hazard. But it wasn't TWF camera footage, it looked like an amatuer video. Whatever it was, it caught the attention of Cena and just as it cut out, Helms came from behind with a rollup, grabbing a handful of his shorts to get a quick 3 count. Match Time: 7:37 Cole: "What"?! Ventura: "Cena just got pinned, that's what! He's 0-2 now on PrimeTime"! HELMS LEFT WITH HIS ARM RAISED AS A VERY FRUSTRATED CENA LOOKED ON WHILE THE CROWD BOOED. Cole: "Well this is no mystery, that was footage from Shane Thompson and Alex Shelley and those damn cameras they've been carrying around"! Ventura: "They're playing mind games with Cena and guess what? It's working"! BACKSTAGE....... JOHNNY HAZARD IS SHOWN IN THE BACK, WATCHING WHAT JUST HAPPENED ON A NEARBY MONITOR WHEN CHRIS MASTERS COMES UP. Chris Masters: "Hey Johnny, where's the uh..... the Harem"? Hazard: "None of your damn business". Masters: (laughs) "Well I just checked out the King of the Ring bracket and man you have some bad luck...... you gotta face me in the qualifying round". Hazard: "Heh, not if Rockwell kicks your ass tonight". HAZARD ATTEMPTS TO WALK AWAY BUT MASTERS DRILLS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK, INCITING A BRAWL BETWEEN THE TWO. FINALLY, SEVERAL AGENTS COME IN TO SEPERATE THE TWO WHEN SHANE McMAHON COMES UP. Shane McMahon: "Whoa! You guys want to fight?! You guys want to fight?! Well I got an idea! Tonight, instead of Jordan Rockwell versus Chris Masters one on one..... it's gonna be Masters teaming with Axl Irvin to face Rockwell and Johnny Hazard"! HAZARD LIKES THE IDEA, SMILING AT MASTERS BEFORE WALKING AWAY BEFORE THE SHOT CUTS OUT. A COMMERCIAL FOR THE ALL NEW CHEVY SILVERADO FEATURING JOHN MELLENCAMP IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR "HOUSE". RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE...... PRIMETIME RETURNS AND CAMERAS ARE TRYING TO PICK UP AN ONGOING CONVERSATION BETWEEN SHANE THOMPSON, ALEX SHELLEY AND DAIVARI. IT's HARD TO MAKE OUT WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT THE TRIO SEEMS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE DISCUSSION. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MY NAME IS FINLAY, AND I LOVE TO FIGHT" IS HEARD AND OUT WALKS FINLAY, CARRYING HIS SHILLELAGH. Cole: "Well here comes the fighting Irishman as we prepare for another King of the Ring qualification match". Ventura: "His entrance music says he loves to fight and believe me he does, this is one of the toughest men in that lockerroom". "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE HITS AND CM PUNK WALKS OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. Cole: "He's set to face CM Punk who is rapidly becoming one of the most popular guys here on PrimeTime, Jess"! Ventura: "Fans love the style of this guy and I can see why. He has all the tools to reach the top but he'll have to win matches like this one in order to get there"! King of the Ring Qualification Match Finlay vs. CM Punk The match started out with a collar and elbow tie and the wily veteran Finlay took Punk into a hammerlock. But Punk caught him with a back elbow before hitting the ropes and diving in between Finlay's legs. Finlay threw a swing but Punk ducked and caught him with an open handed shot to each side of the head followed by a wicked roundhouse kick to the back of the head and neck area. Punk then grabbed Finlay, looking for the Uranage but Finlay dropped to one knee and flung Punk over his back before catching him with a running knee to the head. Finlay made an aggressive cover, driving his forearm into the face of Punk but could only get about a 1 and a half count. Finlay then picked Punk up, looking for a backdrop suplex but Punk flipped off his shoulder and pulled him to the mat with a reverse ddt. Punk then went outside the ring and climbed to the top rope, flying off with a clothesline. But Finlay pulled referee Charles Robinson into the way and Punk took him out. Finlay caught a glancing blow himself but he was close to the corner where he laid the shillelagh. He grabbed the weapon and turned around, popping Punk over the head with it. Punk fell to the mat like he'd been shot and Finlay covered him as Robinson arose to make the 3 count. Match Time: 5:19 Cole: "Ah come on! CM Punk was just robbed! How in the hell can what Finlay just did not be a disqualification?! He pulled the damn ref right into the way of that move"! Ventura: "All that matters is the referee's decision and he's awarded Finlay this match"! FINLAY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT AS PUNK TRIED TO PICK HIMSELF UP OFF THE MAT. Cole: "It's a damn shame that Punk is out of the tournament and Finlay is being allowed to advance like that"! BACKSTAGE...... PAUL LONDON IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN CHAE COMES UP. Chae: "Oh look, if it isn't the guy who put his hands on me at last year's Royal Rumble. You thought I'd forgotten about that, didn't you, Paul"? Paul London: "You know what Chae, if........ Chaos Wolf: "Shut up. CHAOS WOLF COMES INTO THE SHOT. I'd kick your ass right now, but I want you one hundred percent so that when I beat you next week, there's no excuses". London: "Excuses? Who was the one doing all the whining after I beat you"? Wolf: "London..... I'm taking you out of the King of the Ring tournament..... no matter how I have to do it". CHAOS WOLF GRABS CHAE's HAND AND THEY WALK OFF. London (to himself): "We'll see about that". BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 IS PLAYING, BRINGING BAHAMUT TO THE RING TO A WELCOMED CHEER. Cole: "Chaos Wolf will face Paul London next week in what is becoming somewhat of a surprising King of the Ring tournament, partner"! Ventura: "Well I had Alex Shelley going deep in my bracket, it's a shame to see him already out". "BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE PLAYS AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT WITH THE USUAL COCKY LOOK ON HIS FACE AND THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. GOLD PYRO FLOWS DOWN FROM ABOVE AS HE DOES HIS FAMILIAR ENTRANCE POSE. Cole: "And here comes Randy Orton who by all estimation is ducking the man who challenged him face to face last week...... Taz". Ventura: "What are you talking about? He told Taz he could have a match, but it's not gonna be on Taz's terms, Orton's the champ, he makes the call"! Cole: "Sorry, I thought that's what we had a championship comittee for. You wanna play over/under on when Orton will give him that shot"? Ventura: "No Michael, I don't want to take what little money you have in some stupid bet, just call the match". Non-Title Match Bahamut vs. Universal Champion Randy Orton Bahamut and Orton, who are definitely no strangers to each other, wasted no time going at it. Orton tried to trade punches with the big man, but he quickly fell behind and after rocking Orton to the ropes, Bahamut shot him to the other side before catching him with a big powerslam. He hooked the leg but could only get a 2 count from referee Mike Chioda as fans thought they were going to see the Universal champion go down in under 2 minutes. Bahamut pulled him up and lifted him up over his head for a gorilla press slam, dropping him to the mat. Orton was in a ton of trouble after a big legdrop but another cover only garnered a 2 count for Bahamut. Just then, Sean O'Haire strolled down the ramp, the crowd booing at his sight. But Bahamut stayed focused on the task at hand, easily overpowering Orton. But after missing an elbow drop, Bahamut found himself on the receiving end of a swinging leg neckbreaker, a move Orton once used as his finisher. But it wasn't enough to keep Bahamut down. Orton tried to stay on him with several right forearms to the face but after hitting the ropes, Bahamut kicked him right in the face. O'Haire got up on the apron but Bahamut knocked him off with a hard right hand. Strife then came running out and he and O'Haire tangled in a tradeoff of punches. When Bahamut turned back around, Orton was waiting with the "RKO" but it didn't work as Bahamut countered it. But Chioda was distracted by the brawl outside the ring and Dustin Kash snuck in through the crowd and planted Bahamut with a devastating DDT. Orton then scrambled to get on top of him and Chioda turned to make the 3 count. Match Time: 8:46 Ventura: "Ha ha! Now that's a business deal"! Cole: "Oh of course it is! What genuises these three are! Congratulations guys, you just figured out how to steal Randy Orton a match"! Ventura: "And not only that...... JUST THEN, THE CELEBRATION WAS CUT SHORT WHEN TAZ CAME RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP. STRIFE AND BAHAMUT JUMPED INTO THE RING AS ORTON AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS QUICKLY CLEARED OUT. Cole: "Oh yeah.... look how eager they are to fight! Yeah, I'd say the over/under on that title match for Taz is never as long as Orton's calling the shots"! Ventura: "He has to earn it and running out here and attacking an unprepared man who just had a match"! Cole: "There's just no gettin' through to this guy folks..... wow"! TAZ, STRIFE AND BAHAMUT STOOD TALL IN THE RING STARING AT THE BLOOD BROTHERS AND ORTON WHO ALL HELD THEIR TITLES UP IN THE AIR TO THE BOOS OF THE CROWD. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... COMMERCIALS FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AND SNICKERS ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... The shot picks up backstage and the fans cheer as Jordan Rockwell is shown hobbling around and Maria comes running up from behind.
Maria: "Jordan...... Jordan Rockwell.......
Jordan Rockwell: "Not now Maria, I got business to tend to".
Maria: "I just wanted to get an update on your condition after last week's attack by Axl Irvin".
ROCKWELL TURNS TO FACE MARIA
Rockwell: "No, let's not talk about last week Maria, instead let's talk about tonight because I got two things to say about tonight! First off, Chris Masters, I got no beef with you after last week cause that was my mistake but tonight, Masterpiece, busted up knee or not, you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
THE FANS INSIDE LOUDLY CHEER
And Irvin, as far as you go, tonight I guaran-freakin-tee you are leaving this arena just as unhealthy as I am".
ROCKWELL LIMPS AWAY AND MARIA JUST LOOKS ON AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING. PSYCHOSIS IS WAITING IN THE RING WHEN "MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" BY THE BLANK THEORY PLAYS FOR A SECOND TIME AND SHANE THOMPSON COMES OUT WITH A VERY DETERMINED LOOK IN HIS EYES. Cole: "We've got a gaurantee from the franchise and what a tag team main event that's gonna be"! Ventura: "But first we've got our final King of the Ring qualification match of the night and here comes one of my picks, one of my picks to go all the way"! Cole: "You can have more than one"? Ventura: "I'm The Body, I can do whatever I want, Cole"! Cole: "Should be an interesting matchup here as Shane Thompson takes on Psychosis, one half of the former La Familia looking to make a name for himself in singles action". Ventura: "Well I don't think that night will be tonight for Psychosis". King of the Ring Qualification Match Shane Thompson vs. Psychosis Thompson was forced to revert back to his Lightheavyweight roots in order to keep up with Psychosis, who clearly wanted a fast paced match. After a few exchanges of arm drags, Psychosis hit the ropes and Thompson went for a low dropkick to the knee. But Psychosis jumped up to miss his foot and in the same motion, kicked Thompson in the head. Psychosis made the cover for a very near fall. Thompson definitely had his bell rung and it took most of the rest of the match to shake it off as Psychosis wore him down. After a scoop slam, Psychosis went to the top rope, looking for his legdrop. But when he flew off, Thompson rolled out of the way. Thompson caught a second wave of energy and after a flying wheel kick, he made it the match he wanted it to be, wrestling Psychosis to the mat and pummelling him with some swinging right hands. He had Psychosis in a keylock and almost made him tap out but the ropes bailed Psychosis out. Thompson clearly had the advantage and after a running kick to the chest, he just needed to put the finishing touches on his performance when suddenly, the lights went out! They stayed off for about 10 seconds as the crowd screamed and wondered aloud what had happened. Just then, the PrimeTron showed John Cena, with a cameraman, and he had his hands on the breaker box. John Cena: "Right back at ya Shane, I can play games with a camera too. CENA FLICKED A SWITCH AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. See ya soon". CENA SMILED AS THE PRIMETRON CUT OUT BUT IN THE RING, PSYCHOSIS CAME UP WITH A PINNING COMBINATION INTO A SUNSET FLIP TO GET THE 1......2.........3. Match Time: 9:31 Ventura: "No way! No frickin' way"! Cole: "Psychosis got him! Shane Thompson is out"! Ventura: "The referee cannot allow this.... that was highway robbery"! PSYCHOSIS LEFT THE RING AND HIS MUSIC PLAYED AS THOMPSON ARGUED WITH REFEREE CHRIS KAY. Cole: "John Cena can play mind games too...... and I'll say it again, Shane Thompson is out"! Ventura: "Aghhhhhh"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE...... SHANE HAS JUST SETTLED INTO HIS OFFICE WHEN RANDY ORTON AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS COME IN. Shane McMahon: "What do you guys want, I got a main event match coming up". Dustin Kash: "We have a proposal for you". Shane: "Oh really"? Randy Orton: "Yeah, really. The Blood Brothers and I have come up with this. You make a six man tag team match for the next PrimeTime involving the three of us against Taz, Strife and Bahamut". Sean O'Haire: "And if we win, they can never have a shot at our titles as long as we're the champs"! Orton: "And Taz can never have a shot at me as long as I have this". ORTON SETS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE ON THE TABLE. Shane: "Okay, if the three of them will accept your challenge, I'm all for it. Now can I get some peace so I can watch this next match? There's a reason we're the number one rated show on Fox and this next match is gonna help keep it that way". IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA....... JOHNNY NITRO IS SHOWN TALKING TO DAWN MARIE AND SEEMS TO BE COMING ONTO HER WHEN MONICA WALKS UP. Monica: "Hey Nitro". Johnny Nitro (turns around smiling): "Hey". Monica: "I just wanted to say I'm glad to see that the top young superstar in the TWF is now on PrimeTime". Nitro: "Well, it's so nice of you to say that, Monica". NITRO TRIES TO PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER, BUT SHE PUSHES IT AWAY. Monica: "Yeah, and I was just kidding. I just came to tell you that when you meet my man, Eddie Saint James, in the King of the Ring, he and the rest of the Army of Darkness, plan to unleash hell on you". MONICA WALKS AWAY AND NITRO LOOKS CONFUSED. Nitro (to himself): "Army of Darkness"? THE BELL SOUNDS FOR THE MAIN EVENT AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AS HOWARD FINKEL MAKES THE INTRODUCTUINS. BOOS ARE IMMEDIATELY HEARD AS CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT, DOING HIS USUAL POSES. Cole: "Several shots being taken at each other by not only some of the participants in the King of the Ring tournament, but also their managers"! Ventura: "And here comes a guy that could do very well for himself in that tournament Cole.... the Masterpiece". Cole: "Well we know that Chris Masters will face Johnny Hazard in the qualifying round but Masters has picked up some huge wins of late, including one over Jordan Rockwell"! "LIT UP" BY BUCKCHERRY COMES ON AFTER A LOUD "WOOOOOOO" IS HEARD AND AXL IRVIN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS ALONG WITH THE VIVACIOUS TRACI BROOKS. Ventura: "And I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it again, Masters is on a roll"! Cole: "We saw Jordan Rockwell hobbling around the backstage area earlier and this man here is the reason why! Last week on PrimeTime, Axl Irvin knew exactly where to attack, the problematic left knee of Rockwell"! REPLAYS OF THE ATTACK ARE SHOWN. "NEW WORLD DISORDER" BY BIOHAZARD PLAYS AND JOHNNY HAZARD COMES OUT ALONG WITH HIS HAREM TO A HUGE CHEER. Ventura: "And you gotta wonder how much help Rockwell will be to this man tonight! I see this as more of a handicap match for Hazard"! THE FANS GO WILD AS "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC PLAYS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT. HE HAS A NOTICEABLE LIMP IN HIS WALK BUT HE IS STARING A HOLE THROUGH AXL. Cole: "C'mon Jess, how long have we broadcast this show together?! You know that if Rockwell can move, he'll be in the match"! Jordan Rockwell and Johnny Hazard w/ The Harem vs. Chris Masters and Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks Hazard started the match off against the man he will face in the tournament, Chris Masters. They locked up and Masters threw him to the mat before going into one of his poses which also drew several loud boos. Hazard got back up and went to lock up with Masters again but raked him across the eyes before popping him with 2 hard right hands. He then walked him over to the turnbuckle, ramming him face first into the top turnpad before hitting the ropes for a flying clothesline. Rockwell wanted to get into the match but Hazard told him to hold off as he moved in on Masters. But Masters had bought enough time and caught Hazard with a knee to the gut before making the tag to Axl. Axl came in and hit a shinbreaker on Hazard before yelling, "His knee is about to look like yours"! in the direction of Rockwell. Axl then locked in the figure four, the trademark hold of Ric Flair and he had Hazard right where he wanted him. Hazard almost gave up and was almost pinned on 2 occassions while in the hold but with the crowd getting behind him, he was able to reverse it, putting all the pressure on Axl. Traci tried to get involved but the Harem wasn't having it, tackling her and the 4 beauties ganged up on Traci as the crowd went nuts. Axl made a tag to Masters as Hazard came to try and tell his women to get off. But when he turned around, Masters swung the Polish Hammer move at him. But Hazard ducked and caught him with 2 stiff rights followed by a big clothesline. He then went and made the tag to a fresh Rockwell. Axl came into the ring but Hazard was on him and he and Rockwell swung Masters and Axl right into each other. Rockwell then picked up on Masters, pounding him with right hand after right hand before hitting him with the Extreme Measures. But as Hazard held Axl off, Rockwell wasn't done. He reached way down in his repertoire and picked Masters up, hitting the Killswitch. It put a lot of weight on his hurt knee, but he was still able to drive Masters into the mat with plenty of force to get the 1..........2..........3. Match Time: 7:02 Cole: "Oh what about that hurt knee now?! Didn't seem to be a factor to me"! Ventura: "It hurt him and it'll hurt a lot more tomorrow"! Cole: "Wait a minute, what's this"?! HAZARD WAS SITTING ON THE BACK OF AXL WITH A REVERSE ARMBAR ON. ROCKWELL MADE SURE THE RIGHT ARM OF IRVIN WAS STRETCHED OUT AS HE RAISED A STEEL CHAIR ABOVE HIS HEAD. THEN...... HE SLAMMED THE CHAIR DOWN RIGHT ON HIS HAND. TRACI SHREAKED AND AXL WAS IN A TON OF PAIN, HOLDING HIS HAND AS HE ROLLED AROUND ON THE MAT. ROCKWELL RAISED THE CHAIR UP AND THE CROWD CHEERED AS "BACK IN BLACK" AGAIN PLAYED. Cole: "Remember what Rockwelll said.... remember what he said! He said earlier that Axl Irvin would leave this place in the same physical state as he and if nothing else.... it might be worse"! Ventura: "This is borderline criminal! He may've broken the man's hand"! Cole: (laughing): "You're so double standard it's not funny, Jess, but folks, we hope you've enjoyed PrimeTime....... see ya next time"! OFF AIR........
