LIVE THE SHOW OPENS WITH FRANCINE WALKING DOWN A HALLWAY TO THE PARKING LOT. AS SHE GETS CLOSE TO THE DOOR, STEPHANIE MCMAHON COMES IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE AND THE TWO WOMEN ALMOST COLLIDE. Francine:"Oh hey Steph, have you seen Nemesis anywhere"? Stephanie: (very stuck up)"Why would I be looking for that loser"? Francine:"Hey, watch it bitch"! Stephanie:"What did you call me? WITH THAT, STEPHANIE SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF FRANCINE's MOUTH. Move out of my way, bitch"! STEPHANIE WALKS AWAY AS RAW's THEME MUSIC AND MONTAGE PLAY. AS FIREWORKS GO OFF IN THE ARENA, PICTURES OF TRIPLE H AND X-PAC ALONG WITH THE NEW TWF CHAMPION HOLLYWOOD HOGAN AND VAL VENIS ARE SHOWN. Jim Ross:"The Royal Rumble was seemingly the beginning of total control by the NWO but tonight, we've got a huge tag team main event, one that X-Pac has demanded King". Jerry Lawler:"That's right J.R., X-Pac wants to help his good friend Triple H get revenge on the NWO since he is no longer the TWF champion"! EXTREME JAPAN's THEME MUSIC HITS AS MASA CHONO AND YUJI MATASAMO COME OUT TO A LOT OF CROWD HEAT. J.R.:"Well that's not the only problem the game has to deal with. As you all just saw, his ex-wife is back in the TWF and she has joined the New World Order". SPIKE DUDLEY's THEME MUSIC HITS AS HE AND PERRY SATURN COME OUT TOGETHER, BOTH WEARING ARMY FATIGUES. Lawler:"It's great to see Steph back J.R. and with her brainpower, the NWO is almost unstoppable"! J.R.:"We're kicking things off with tag team action tonight folks as the interesting duo of Spike Dudley and Perry Saturn are gonna face Extreme Japan and King, what a Royal Rumble it was for Masa Chono, nearly forty minutes in the ring". Lawler:"It was a great Rumble for Chono J.R., possibly his breakout match in the TWF, but no one could stop the deadman, he's goin' to WrestleMania"! J.R.:"As it stands now, Hollywood Hogan will put the title on the line against the Undertaker at WrestleMania but a lot can happen between now and then". Yuji Matasamo and Masa Chono vs. Perry Saturn and Spike Dudley Saturn and Spike looked very good early as Spike caught Matasamo with a back drop suplex before tagging in Saturn. It was a great change of pace as Saturn came in and dealt several heavy blows to Matasamo, including a running knee to the head. Spike got back into it but Matasamo ducked a clothesline and caught him with a nice crescent kick. Chono came in and pounded away on Spike, working extensively on his right knee. He and Matasamo began to make frequent exchanges and they used clever double teams on Spike. Matasamo then whipped him into the ropes but Spike hit him with a dropkick to the knee. Chono then came in and got in referee Chad Patton's face as Spike tagged in Saturn. But Patton didn't see it and he forced Saturn back to the corner. After a double facebuster on Spike, Saturn came in and went after both men. Patton tried to get things seperated but he had lost control and he called for the bell. After a ddt on Saturn, Matasamo held Spike up for Chono but Spike escaped and Chono kicked Matasamo flush in the mouth! Saturn then came in and clotheslined Matasamo out of the ring as the crowd was on their feet. J.R.:"Looks like a miscommunication between your friends from Japan, King". Lawler:"My friends? I respect their abilities J.R., that doesn't make them my friends"! J.R.:"Well I like this new team of Spike and Saturn, I hope we see them continue to tag together". The Big Show vs. Ahmed Walker Walker had his work cut out for him here but as always, he was up to the task, hitting the Big Show with everything he had. Walker made the best use of his speed as he tried a hit and run gameplan against the big guy. He had Big Show reeling after two clotheslines but when he went for a dropkick, Big Show swatted him away. Big Show then blatantly choked Walker and stomped on his chest, wearing him out fast. But when he went for an elbow drop, Walker rolled out of the way. Walker then went to the middle rope to try a flying clothesline but the Big Show, perhaps the strongest man in the TWF, amazingly caught Walker in a sleeper hold and nicely turned it into the "Final Cut" to get the pin. Match Time: 5:46 J.R.:"What an effort by Ahmed Walker but one mistake will cost you against a man of that stature". Lawler:"The Big Show's startin' to come around after that long injury J.R.. Every superstar better be wary of this man". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... CHRISTIAN APPROACHES RHYNO IN HIS DRESSING ROOM. Christian:"What's up big man? I just had to stop by and say congratulations on kicking my brother's ass at the Royal Rumble and remaining a double champion. That was good stuff man". Rhyno:"Thank you, but believe me, that's only the beginning. I'll never lose these belts, never". COMMERCIAL.... A PREVIEW FOR THE SOON TO BE RELEASED MOVIE "XXX" STARRING VIN DIESEL IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... MOLLY HOLLY IS BACKSTAGE POURING HERSELF A CUP OF COFFEE WHEN STACY KIEBLER COMES UP TO GET HERSELF ONE. Stacy:"Hey Molly, where's High Octane"? Molly:"He's not here yet". Stacy:"You guys didn't come together"? Molly:"No, were we supposed to"? Stacy:"Well, I guess not, is everything okay with you two"? Molly:"Ya know what Stacy, just drop it. You're the last one who should be asking about men problems". Stacy:"What's that supposed to mean"? Molly:"Get a clue". MOLLY WALKS AWAY VERY ANNOYED. VLAD THE IMPALER IS IN THE RING. J.R.:"Boy, it must be that time of the month for some of these women tonight". Lawler:"J.R., that was a little inappropriate, but look, it's Vlad the Impaler". Vlad:"I've been in the TWF for a few weeks now and I guess I'm the only one who has the guts to come out here and say this. There is one guy in the back, who likes to run his mouth about everyone and everything and I've had enough. Now even though you've never said it to my face, Drew Blood, I've heard from others that you think Hardcore wrestling is a waste of tv time but worse than that, that I, Vlad the Impaler is a big joke. Tell ya what Drew, let's put both those theories to the test right now and you can get your ass out here and fight me, hardcore style". J.R.:"A challenge has been laid down here but I don't know if that was a smart move by Vlad". Lawler:"Are you kidding J.R.? This guy Vlad is very dangerous"! SUDDENLY, THE ARENA LIGHTS GO OUT FOR ALMOST 30 SECONDS. WHEN THEY COME BACK ON, DREW BLOOD IS STANDING BEHIND VLAD IN THE RING. VLAD TURNS AROUND, STILL HOLDING THE MIC AND GETS DROPPED BY THE "BLOODBATH". DREW BLOOD STARES DOWN AT THE FALLEN VLAD AND THEN LEAVES. J.R.:"A strong and extremely clear message has just been sent here by Drew Blood". Lawler:"He attacked from behind! How'd he get there"? J.R.:"Who knows King but I know for sure, Drew Blood is not one to pick a fight against". Lawler:"Well I have a feeling there will be retaliation for that attack"! BACKSTAGE EVOLUTION, THE NEW TAG TEAM OF NOVA AND FRANKIE KAZARIAN ARE STANDING IN THE BACK. Nova:"I know man, me too, I'm so glad we finally got our shot. Now it's time to show these guys that we deserve to be here". Frankie Kazarian:"As hard as we've worked, we should have no problems man". TERRI COMES WALKING UP ACTING VERY FLIRTATIOUS. Terri:"My, my, look at you two. The TWF sure knows talent when they see it". Kazarian (looking Terri up and down) "Wow, it's very good to be here Nova". Nova:"You ain't kidding". Terri:"Listen boys, how would you guys like to team up and get a little workout, if ya know what I mean". Nova:"I think we'd definitely be into that". Terri:"Good, cause I've got two guys who'll give you one, later tonight". TERRI WALKS AWAY AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL. A PROMO FOR TWF OUTBREAK IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... IN A LARGE OFFICE IN THE ARENA NEMESIS, FRUSTRATED BY THE RECENT ACTIONS BY THE NWO, HAS GATHERED SEVERAL TWF SUPERSTARS FOR A MEETING. Nemesis:"Okay guys, we don't all see eye to eye in here, but one thing we can agree on is the fact that we hate the NWO. THE OTHER SUPERSTARS AGREE. I mean, look what happened to Francine earlier. This is what we're gonna deal with all the time until we get these guys out of here. Now I need your help. Is everyone with me"? Superstars:"YEAH!!!!!" NEMESIS GETS IN CHRIS BENOIT's FACE Nemesis:"Benoit, you and I have a match tonight. We'll go out there, beat each others brains out and one of us might get hurt, but I need your help too man. Do I have it"? BENOIT STARES AT HIM AND THEN THEY HIT FISTS. EXTREME JAPAN's MUSIC HITS AS MUTA COMES OUT. J.R.:"Things are getting very tense backstage King and a very uneasy feeling is starting to set in". Lawler:"Round up all the troops, go ahead, you can't stop the NWO, it's impossible"! MR. PERFECT's THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT RESPONSE. J.R.:"Well here's a man who made his return to wrestling at the Royal Rumble and a very impressive one at that. He is the man who eliminated both Masa Chono and Muta in that match". Lawler:"And it hasn't sat well with Extreme Japan since J.R. so Perfect is gonna get re-introduced to the action real quickly here". Mr. Perfect vs. Muta Muta's quick, martial arts style was too much for Perfect in the early goings as he was hit with a few vicious kicks to the head and Muta's signature tumbling back elbow drop. Muta then went at the right arm of Perfect, trying to hyperextend it. But as Muta came off the ropes, Perfect got back into it with a nice spinebuster. He then hit his somersault neckbreaker, a move the crowd really popped for. After a gorgeous, standing dropkick, Perfect took one strap off his attire when Hayabusa sneakily made his way down the aisle. He jumped onto the apron where Perfect immediately met him with a right hand. But when Perfect turned around, Muta spit green mist in his face. He then went to the top rope and hit a flipping neckbreaker to get the pinfall. Match Time: 4:18 J.R.:"Well in custom Extreme Japan fashion, it has taken two to get the win here". Lawler:"That's all that's important is that he got the win J.R. and a big win at that". J.R.:"I've heard that before but I still don't agree, something's gotta be done about that". "High Octane" Damion West vs. Mike "The Texan" Smith The match was all Texan early as he hit High Octane with 2 dropkicks and a big hip toss. That led to a jumping legdrop and a 2 count. After a spinning neckbreaker, Smith bounced off the ropes but Molly grabbed his leg. When the Texan turned around, he was nailed by the "Head on Collision" but at the last second, the Texan got his foot on the middle rope. High Octane had the momentum in his favor though as he whipped Smith in and caught him with a back elbow. He then locked in a half boston crab and stood up on one leg, pulling Smith's body in a very painful looking position. But the Texan fought it off and with his other leg, somehow overturned the move. He then blocked a spinning heel kick and picked West up on his shoulders. He wanted to use and electric chair drop but West cleverly held onto the top rope, preventing it. Then, he rolled forward into a pinning combination and pulled the Texan's legs back and without referee Jim Corderas catching it, Molly reached her hand into the ring and West held onto it for added leverage as he got a quick 1....2....3. Match Time: 5:47 Lawler:"Ahahaha, maybe things aren't so bad between them after all J.R."! J.R.:"High Octane is gonna get credit for the win but the boxscore should read huge assist to Molly". Lawler:"Hey, that's what managers are for"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... NWO OFFICE..... THERE's A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Wally Willson:"Come in". EDDIE GUERRERO ENTERS. Willson:"Ahh, Eddie Guerrero". Eddie Guerrero:"Where's Vince"? Willson:"Uh, he's taking care of some business. He won't be here tonight". Guerrero:"Well, I guess I can ask you. I was wondering if my runner up performance in the Royal Rumble got me a spot in the NWO". Willson:"Runner up? No, if you would've won, maybe". Guerrero:"Oh, Mr. Willson please. I could give you guys so much". Willson:"I'll tell ya what. You beat Scott Hall tonight and we can talk". Guerrero:"That's it"? Willson:"Yeah, that's all". Guerrero:"Okay, this is gonna be a great night for Latino Heat". COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK..... Michael Cole:"Chuck Palumbo, after you and Sean O'haire were unsuccessful once again against Strife and Bahamut at the Royal Rumble, we saw you and Sean O'haire nearly tell each other apart. What's the deal between you and him"? Chuck Palumbo:"Well Cole, it's simple, he and I go back to our days in WCW, but I'm sick of carrying the team and I'm ready for a change". Cole:"Ok, well what about your status with the New Breed"? Palumbo:"Oh, I'll be sticking with Jordan and Lita, no doubt". FOOTAGE OF THE SEGMENT EARLIER BETWEEN TERRI AND EVOLUTION IS REPLAYED AS THE BODY DONNAS' MUSIC HITS. SKIP AND KIP COME OUT WITH TERRI. Lawler:"Ya know J.R., when she asked Nova and Frankie whatever his name is earlier if they wanted a workout, I thought she meant.... J.R.:"Yeah we know where your mind is at all times King, no need to go into detail". EVOLUTION's THEME HITS AS NOVA AND FRANKIE KAZARIAN COME OUT AND GIVE EACH OTHER A HIGH 5 AND THEN RUN TO THE RING. Lawler:"I'd go for a workout with Terri anyday". J.R.:"Well the TWF's newest health nuts, Skip and Kip, will face the very exciting duo of Evolution, a team I've referred to as the modern day Rockers". Evolution vs. The Body Donnas This was a terrific tag team match as both teams seem to have great futures. Kazarian started things off with Skip and they had a great series as Kazarain used a series of arm drags and a great dropkick, getting tremendous height and extension. After a scoop slam, Kazarian tagged in Nova who picked up where his partner left off. Nova hit some amazing high flying moves including a corkscrew plancha onto both Body Donnas outside the ring. With all 4 men out there, Skip whipped Kazarian into the ring steps and the Body Donnas slowed down the pace in a hurry, double teaming Nova. They hit him with a double clothesline followed by a double back body drop in which they tossed Nova almost 10 feet in the air. They refused to allow him to tag and they kept Nova grounded. But Nova fought his way out of Skip's side headlock and then whipped him into the ropes. Nova leapfrogged Skip who made the tag to Kip but Nova used a spinning kick to take both men out. He then tagged in Kazarian who came in and took over, knocking both men down several times. Kip used a lowblow on Nova and set him on the top turnbuckle. But after ducking a clothesline, Kazarian dropped Skip with a perfectly placed savot kick as Nova blocked a superplex and used a sunset flip over Kip into a powerbomb! Nova made the cover and got the pin as Evolution got their fist TWF win. Match Time: 12:31 J.R.:"Oh yeah, it looks like the Body Donnas got the workout tonight King"! Lawler:"That was a heck of a match, both those teams have bright futures here". J.R.:"I'd have to agree with that, these are four great athletes who should go far in the tag team division with performances like that one". Tajiri vs. Justin Sane This was a fantastic effort by both men as the action was non stop. Sane's strategy was to attack the lower body of Tajiri early and he did that, using a back footsweep and then stomping on the right knee of the japanese buzzsaw. But Tajiri came back with his lightning quick kicks to the midsection after Sane missed a senton bomb off the top rope. Tajiri then had him in the corner, chopping away on his chest. He whipped him to the other corner and charged in but Sane got a boot up in his face. He then put Tajiri in the corner and used 3 hard knifedge chops of his own. He backed up a few feet and charged in but Tajiri put his feet over his head and then locked in the tarantula. Tajiri held it on for as long as he could, taking a lot out of Sane. Tajiri then went for a roundhouse kick but Sane ducked and used a cradle overhead suplex. He tried an irish whip but Tajiri reversed it and Sane pulled him back in and tried a tilt-a-whirl slam but Tajiri used one of the best reversals seen in a long time, grabbing Sane's leg in back and somehow turning the move into a small package to get a quick pin. Tajiri slid out of the ring as a frustrated Sane pounded the mat. Match Time: 6:00 J.R.:"Very frustrating loss for Justin Sane and it appears Tajiri has his number so far in his career". Lawler:"Well it was a nice counter by Tajiri but I'll tell ya what J.R., Justin Sane has got the talent. Losses like this will only help him in the long run. You watch J.R., he'll rebound from this". "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H STEPS OUT OF THE ENTRANCE IN STREET CLOTHES TO A VERY LOUD OVATION. J.R.:"Here comes the former TWF champion and King, he is in a foul mood, I can tell you that right now". Lawler:"Let him be mad J.R., he did this all to himself, he has no one else to blame"! J.R.:"Well I talked to the game this afternoon and I can assure you, he and the NWO have a lot and I mean a lot of unfinished business". Triple H:"Stephanie, I hope it was worth it. So you cost me the TWF title. I can get it back. But I'll gaurantee you, you'll never get me back. If I had the situation to do all over again, I'd do the same damn thing! Now the NWO, first, you take out my friend HBK. Well I'll tell ya something boys, he's down, but he's far from out. I will fight you for as long as it takes. I'm sick of this NWO takeover crap, I've had it. So listen to ...... SUDDENLY, STEPHANIE McMAHON's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT VERY ANGRILY. Stephanie:"Wait a minute! You say I'll never get you back. I don't want you back you asshole! You blew it Triple H. You blew it last summer when you divorced me. It was the biggest mistake of your life. And if you think me costing you the TWF title at the Royal Rumble was it, you've got another thing coming. Things are gonna get a lot worse for you Hunter and it's gonna get that way very soon". STEPHANIE's MUSIC HITS AS TRIPLE H JUST STARES AT HER FROM THE RING. J.R.:"What is Stephanie talking about"? COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, MICHAEL COME IS STANDING WITH SCOTT TAYLOR. Cole:"Okay Scotty, a few questions.... Taylor: (interrupting)"Hey, that's Scott, not Scotty". SUDDENLY, STRIFE AND BAHAMUT ENTER THE BUILDING AND WALK BUY. Strife:"Oh look, it's Scotty Street Fight". Taylor:"You got a problem big man"? Bahamut:"Well, it looks like you're the one with the problem. Is it hard to see out of your right eye? I mean, it's a little black I'm noticing". Taylor:"You two wanna start somethin' here? Let's go". STRIFE GETS IN TAYLOR's FACE Strife:"We don't start things, we just finish them. So how bout you and your boy Big Poppa Pump against me and Bahamut tonight"? Taylor:"Oh yeah, we can defintely do that". SUDDENLY, STRIFE IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY SCOTT STEINER AND THEN HE AND TAYLOR TACKLE BAHAMUT, ASSAULTING BOTH MEN. J.R.:"Well it looks like we've got an impromptu tag team match King. Coach, what do you have"? BACKSTAGE.... Jonathan Coachman:"Well guys, I talked to Trish Stratus today and she informed me that Travis Wakeman suffered torn ligaments in his knee in the match with Ken Shamrock at the Royal Rumble. She didn't have an idea on what kind of recovery time he's looking at but an MRI was done and that was the result". "LATINO HEAT" HITS AS EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A TON OF BOOS. J.R.:"Obviously not the news Travis Wakeman wanted to hear but back to the action folks as Eddie Guerrero has a very big match here". Lawler:"Big? This is huge J.R.! A spot in the NWO could be on the line"! THE OLD WOLFPAC THEME HITS AS SCOTT HALL COMES WITH KEVIN NASH OUT TO A GREAT REACTION. J.R.:"Well who better to prevent that then Hall, the NWO can't get any bigger". Scott Hall vs. Eddie Guerrero It was all Hall early as he overpowered Guerrero with hard right hands and a backbreaker. He caught Guerrero when he attempted a cross body block and put him down with the fallaway slam. He then whipped Guerrero into the ropes but he ducked a clothesline and dropkicked Hall in the kneecap, exactly what Guerrero needed. Guerrero then went to the top rope and hit a missile dropkick to get a long 2 count. He then went to the opposite corner but this time, Kevin Nash pushed him off, right in front of referee Mike Chioda, causing a DQ. But Nash entered the ring as the bell continuosly rand and hit Guerrero with the "Jacknife" powerbomb as the crowd went crazy. He and Hall then walked backstage. Match Time: 6:42 Lawler:"What has gotten into these two J.R.. Nash just blatantly got Hall disqualified"! J.R.:"That's just how bad they wanna prevent the NWO growing and I can't say that I blame them". TWF Hardcore Title Match Challenger... Carney vs. Rob Van Dam Best match all night! RVD suffered a bloody nose 1 minute into the match when an errant kick by Carney caught him in the nose. Carney tried to take advantage of this but the unorthodox style of RVD was something he couldn't find an answer to. Carney used a leaprog off an irish whip but when he landed, RVD took his feet out with a footsweep. He then drilled him with a spinning heel kick and then Rolling Thunder to get a near pin. After a few more kicks, RVD took the match to the floor but Carney used a drop toe hold right onto the ring steps. He then grabbed the ring bell and drilled RVD with it but somehow, RVD kicked out at 2. Carney dragged the champion over to the announce table and rolled him onto it. As both men stood on the announce table, Carney pushed RVD off by J.R. and Lawler when Matt Hardy came running out from behind. He went right by Stacy, pulled Carney off the table and hit him with the "Twist of Fate" on the floor as RVD got back up on the announce table and hit a mini "5 Star Frogsplash" off there to retain the title. Match Time: 5:32 J.R.:"Matt Hardy has just given a big assist to Rob Van Dam and what is going on here King? I don't think anyone can understand this situation". Lawler:"There's more than meets the eye there J.R., there's gotta be, this is turning bitter". FOOTAGE FROM EARLIER TONIGHT IS REPLAYED AS "SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION" BY MEGADEATH HITS. FRANCINE LEADS NEMESIS TO THE RING. Nemesis:"Okay guys, we don't all see eye to eye in here, but one thing we can agree on is the fact that we hate the NWO. THE OTHER SUPERSTARS AGREE. I mean, look what happened to Francine earlier. This is what we're gonna deal with all the time until we get these guys out of here. Now I need your help. Is everyone with me"? Superstars:"YEAH!!!!!" NEMESIS GETS IN CHRIS BENOIT's FACE Nemesis:"Benoit, you and I have a match tonight. We'll go out there, beat each others brains out and one of us might get hurt, but I need your help too man. Do I have it"? BENOIT STARES AT HIM AND THEN THEY HIT FISTS. CHRIS BENOIT's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.:"These are two men that agreed to help in the fight against the NWO but this has got to be what the NWO wants King, they're fighting each other". Lawler:"Well I think Nemesis went off the deep end when Stephanie slapped Francine. Look at her face, the red mark is still there"! Nemesis vs. Chris Benoit The 2 men got in each other's face as the bell rang. Benoit followed a few knifedge chops by trying to kick at the bigger man's knees. But Nemesis clubbed him across the back. Nemesis then whipped Benoit in and caught him with a hard clothesline when the NWO came out in mass. They were followed by the Acolytes and Mike "The Texan" Smith who came out to help against the NWO but were soon taken out by the power in numbers. Then, the NWO surrounded Benoit and Nemesis when suddenly, Benoit turned and clocked Nemesis as the NWO swarmed him! Benoit locked in the crossface and after he let go, William Regal and Nails performed a spike piledriver on a steel chair. Nemesis writhed in pain when Nails approached Benoit and tossed him a shirt. Benoit slipped it on, an NWO shirt! J.R.:No, oh my god it can't be! Tell me this isn't what it looks like"! Lawler:"It is J.R.! Chris Benoit has joined the NWO"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... AS PRIMETIME CAME BACK, GOLDUST's OLD MUSIC HIT AND 24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARED ON A DARK SMOKY SCREEN. GOLDUST BEGAN TO TALK, BUT COULDN'T BE SEEN. Goldust:"I know what you all are asking. Why am I here? Why would Goldust come to the TWF? Well my little friends, it's simple. The glitz and glamour. The superstardom that oozes out of everything the TWF does. The crowds, the excitement, the energy. But right now, there is one man that I have found to be emulating me. It is a well known fact that I am a Hollywood star. But this man, oh this man brings Hollywood shame by getting through the door because of who he is. Soon, soon you will realize that I am for real. GOLDUST APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. Soon, all your worst nightmares will become reality and you will never forget the name, ooooh, Goldust". SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY AS HE AND SCOTT TAYLOR ARE IN THE RING. STEINER GRABS A MIC. J.R.:"What in the hell was that all about"? Lawler:"Nobody's ever been able to figure out Goldust J.R.. I don't think we'll know what he's here for right away". Scott Steiner:"And I thought Texas was bad. This is the biggest collection of trailer park trash I've ever seen in my life. (crowd boos) All you need is that loser Jordan Rockwell to move here and this will be the shithole of the planet Earth. Rockwell, I'm far from done with you. Normally, I'd ask all my freaks out there to scream for me but fact is, I wouldn't associate with anyone from Kentucky". (crowd boos louder than they have all night) "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AS STRIFE AND BAHAMUT DROP THEIR TAG BELTS AND RUN DOWN TO THE RING. STEINER AND TAYLOR MEET THEM ON THE RAMP AND THE FIGHT IS ON. J.R.:"The champions are wasting no time folks and on another note, this was gonna be a title match but Commissioner Piper said a sneak attack didn't qualify Steiner and Taylor for a title match, so the titles aren't on the line". Non-Title Match Scott Steiner and "Too Hot" Scott Taylor vs. Tag Team Champions Strife and Bahamut This one never became official as the fight started outside the ring. Bahamut went at it with Taylor as Strife and Steiner traded shots. Strife rammed Steiner into the ring steps as he and Bahamut took Taylor into the ring. Steiner began to get back up when Jordan Rockwell came running down the ramp! He tackled Steiner and began to unload right hands on his face. He then threw him into the crowd and the 2 brawled out of sight as Strife and Bahamut hit Taylor with a double chokeslam in the ring. "Bombshell" hit again as they walked up the ramp, grabbed their titles and raised them up as the crowd cheered. Then, Rockwell came back out of the crowd and grabbed a mic. Jordan Rockwell:"Steiner, you may have gotten away this time, but I'm gonna hurt you. On Saturday Night's Main Event, if I see you anywhere, I promise, you will be hospitalized". ROCKWELL SLAMS THE MIC DOWN AS "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS. J.R.:"Extremely strong words from Jordan Rockwell and King, this is definitely one of the most volatile situations in TWF history". Lawler:"Oh I agree J.R., now Rockwell's threatening hospitalization, what's next"? J.R.:"What would you do if you were him? Don't go away folks, our tag team main event is next"! COMMERCIAL....

Lawler:"Well Triple H has gotta be steamin' but it was X-Pac who demanded this match"! Triple H & X-Pac vs. Hollywood Hogan and Val Venis As soon as the bell rang, all 4 men stood in the ring. Triple H was staring a hole through Hogan when shockingly, X-Pac hit Triple H with a spinning heel kick and he, Val Venis and Hogan got on him. Hall and Nash came running out and Hogan, Venis and X-Pac scattered. Hall and Nash helped the game to his feet when Nash kicked him in the stomach and Hall delivered the "Outsiders Edge"! The rest of the NWO came out with 3 more NWO t-shirts and behind them was a gleaming Stephanie McMahon. The NWO theme hit as they stood over the fallen Helmsley. J.R.:"Oh my god! I don't believe what I'm seeing"! Lawler:"The Outsiders and X-Pac have come home! The TWF has been decimated by the New World Order"! J.R.:"Triple H has no allies! The NWO is in complete control"! OFF AIR....
