The statue of Michael Jordan that sits outside the United Center let's all visitors now it's a place of superstardom. Would there be any stars made on this night, PrimeTime's final stop before King of the Ring? Bill Cutting vs. Super Crazy Lightheavyweight action got the night started off and this was an exciting, fast paced bout. Cutting didn't seem to want it to stay that way, grounding Crazy any chance he could get. After a swinging neckbreaker, Cutting went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a kneedrop but could only get a 2 count out of it. After a scoop slam, he went to the top rope this time, but the fans were wowed when Crazy popped up and jumped to the top rope with him, bringing him off with an insane flipover slam, landing in a pin for the academic 3 count. But as Crazy walked up the ramp victoriously, Cutting grabbed a microphone and vehemently screamed "This is crap! Something has to change around here"! Bahamut vs. Vlad the Impaler w/ James Mitchell Two one time TWF headliners looked for a much needed victory here and they met in the center of the ring like two big bulls. Mitchell interfered in the match at every turn, trying to help Vlad to a cheap victory. But that brought the Locomotive, Strife, out to his partner's aid. That was all Bahamut needed to take Vlad on full bore and after a ring shaking clothesline in the corner, he hit the ropes, crushing Vlad with a running boot before hitting his springboard moonsault, still a spectacle for a man 7 feet tall, which he calls What Legends are made of, to get the 3 count. Chris Platoon vs. Kato w/ Sonny Onoo Platoon came at the masked member of the Orient Express with plenty of aggression, but Kato's martial arts abilities were enough to slow him down. But off an irish whip, Kato put his head down too soon and Platoon used a kneebuster followed by a big clothesline. Onoo got on the apron, fumbling around in his pocket, obviously looking for the salt. But Platoon made it to him first and knocked him to the floor with a right hand. The referee looked down to see if Onoo needed medical attention when from the back came Tanaka, tossing salt in the eyes of Platoon! Platoon stumbled around blindly before Kato hooked him for a double arm tiger suplex to get the 1........2........3. The Orient Express celebrated the match they basically just stole and the crowd booed as they left and Platoon rubbed his eyes, trying to restore his vision. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE PRIMETIME GETS GOING ON THE FOX NETWORK WITH IT's OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO WHILE "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE SHOT THEN OPENS INSIDE THE UNITED CENTER AND "LOOSE" BY EMINEM IMMEDIATELY PLAYS, BRINGING CARNEY OUT TO A PRETTY BIG CHEER. Michael Cole: "It's another night of TWF PrimeTime live from Chicago and we are in the United Center, kicking the night off with gold on the line"! Jesse Ventura: "What's Carney making his way over here for? No one told me anything about this"! Cole: "Carney's gonna be joining us for some guest commentary here, partner, grab a chair Carney"! CARNEY PICKS UP THE EXTRA HEADSET AND HAS A SEAT AS GREGORY HELMS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. Carney: "Hey guys, what's happening"? Cole: "Glad you could join us tonight, Carney, as we get set for a TWF Lightheavyweight title match"! HELMS GETS INTO THE RING AND HIS MUSIC CUTS OFF. HE FOCUSES ON THE ENTRANCE AS DAIVARI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF BOOS, WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Ventura: "Okay, Carney, I'm gonna ask you a question but before I do, please don't give the politically correct answer that you don't care who wins. Who would you like to see win this match"? Carney: "You saw me confront them both last week and put them both on notice, right? Truth is, I can beat both of these guys so yeah, it doesn't matter which one it is". Ventura: "Pffff". Cole: "Daivari has been the champion since Eruption where he surprisingly won a four way ladder match but can he get by his first real test tonight"? Ventura: "What do you mean surprising, Michael? Daivari has always been a talented superstar and Eruption was the first chance he got to prove it and guess what.... he made the most of it"! TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match Challenger: Gregory Helms vs. Daivari Helms and Daivari locked up and exchanged standing hammerlocks. Daivari twisted the right arm of Helms, focusing on that part of his body but Helms was able to sneak in a left jab, followed by another. Helms then hit the ropes but Daivari ducked a clothesline and caught him with a flying wheel kick. From there, the champion locked in a fujiwara armbar on Helms but Helms was able to roll over and stand up in the hold, kicking Daivari right in the head. After a few more right hands, Helms shot Daivari to the ropes and connected with a jumping clothesline. Helms then delivered a vertical suplex before going to the corner and sizing him up. Daivari slowly got up but Helms flew in with a shining wizard that seemed to put him down for the count. But before referee Mickey Henson could reach a count of 3, Daivari got his left foot on the bottom rope to bring the count to a halt. Helms picked him up and pushed him to the corner but when he went for the "Nightmare on Helms Street", Daivari swung out of it and leaped to the shoulders of Helms, using a well done victory roll to score a nice 3 count. Match Time: 5:11 Ventura: "He got him, that was a three count! What do you think of that, Carney? Was that a surprising win"? CARNEY RISES FROM HIS SEAT, STARING AT DAIVARI. Carney: "That was an impressive victory, I'll give the man credit where it's due". DAIVARI IS HANDED HIS BELT AND HE POINTS TO IT WHILE LOOKING AT CARNEY AND HE SAYS, "YOU WANT THIS, COME GET IT"! Cole: "Well it seems like the battle lines have been drawn, when will we see the match take place"?! Carney: "Hopefully soon, Michael, hopefully soon". A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH BOBBY LASHLEY STANDING IN FRONT OF THE PRIMETIME LOGO. Cole: "Well folks as many of you heard, it was announced first on TWF.com, Bobby Lashley was attacked and savagely beaten by Edge and Randy Orton in the parking lot of The Pond in Anaheim where he was leaving the King of the Ring press conference. Doctors have pulled Lashley out of the King of the Ring but we've been hearing all day that a decision regarding the situation has been made! So don't go away, we will have that news tonight"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR MILLER LITE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR UNDER ARMOR GEAR. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE AREA...... PRIMETIME RETURNS AND MARIA IS STANDING BY WITH AXL IRVIN, TRACI BROOKS AND A MAN VERY RECOGNIZABLE IN THE CHICAGO AREA. Maria: "Hey there, Axl, do you think you can tell me who your special guest is tonight"? Axl Irvin: "Well any fan of Axl Irvin knows that I'm from right here in Chicago so I thought tonight, I'd have a little fun and invite one of my good friends to the show. From the Super Bowl bound Chicago Bears........... Brian Urlacher"! URLACHER STEPS UP, NEXT TO MARIA, WHO IS CLEARLY EXCITED. Maria: "Hi there Brian. Um, can you tell us what it's like to be a basketball player"? Traci: "He plays football you twit". Brian Urlacher: "Hold on, Traci, I got this. Maria, all I want to talk about is my boy Axl Irvin's match with Jordan Rockwell at King of the Ring. Rockwell....... you are definitely going down"! Axl Irvin: "Care to argue with that, Jordan? I dare ya to try". THE TRIO WALKS AWAY LAUGHING AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. Snitsky vs. CM Punk Snitsky towered over Punk and seemed like he would wipe the mat with him. But Punk, another native of Chicago, was incredibly over with the crowd. Shortly after the bell sounded to start the match, a roaring chant of "Punk" started and went throughout the match. Punk escaped Snitsky's sidewinder slam and caught him with slaps to either side of the head followed by a very stiff jumping roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Snitsky was staggered but when Punk went for the Uranage, he elbowed his way out. Snitsky then went for a running boot but missed everything and Punk used a very nice judo takedown right into the "Anaconda Vice". Snitsky did all he could to fight the pain but there was no way out and within seconds, he tapped. Match Time: 4:21 The crowd continued to chant "Punk" as "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage blared over the loudspeakers and Punk celebrated the win with the crowd that just could not get enough of him. BACKSTAGE..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE....... MEANWHILE, SHANE McMAHON HAS CALLED A MEETING IN HIS OFFICE WITH RANDY ORTON AND EDGE. Shane McMahon: "The reason I called you two in here tonight is because of what you did to Lashley in Anaheim. EDGE AND ORTON GET BIG SMILES ON THEIR FACES. Now my first intention was to suspend the both of you without pay, but I didn't think it'd be fair to the fans planning to pay to see you two on pay-per-view. So, as much as it pained me to do so, I have been in talks with Muhammad Hassan and together, he and I came up with a new match for King of the Ring, since doctors have ordered Lashley to take a few weeks off. So, at King of the Ring, we will have a six man tag team match featuring the two of you and Mark Henry from Rampage against Taz and two of Rampage's top superstars, Travis Wakeman and Batista! But....... if either you, Randy Orton, or the TWF World champion Travis Wakeman are defeated in that match either by pinfall or submission, you will lose your title to whoever it is that beats you. Thought that might give you a little extra incentive". ORTON AND EDGE JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN SHOCK BEFORE LEAVING THE OFFICE. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE THEME OF KEVIN THORN HITS AS HE AND ARIEL STEP OUT TO PLENTY OF HEAT, MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING. Ventura: "Here comes one angry man, Cole". Cole: "Has he ever been in a good mood"? ARIEL USES THE ROPES TO PERFORM AN UPSIDE DOWN RING ENTRANCE, LOOKING VERY MUCH LIKE A BAT. Ventura: "This guy had to be considered one of the favorites to win the King of the Ring and those hopes were dashed last week in a major upset by the Ultimo Dragon"! THE FANS CHEER WHEN ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT AS FLAMES RISE FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE. Cole: "Hmmmm, I'd hate to see how he looks when the sun comes out then". Ventura: "Probably like the Ultimo Dragon will look after this match, Kevin Thorn demanded this rematch"! Cole: "And if he gets beat again, will we be lucky enough not to have to see him anymore? And what's up with Ariel? These two are freaks"! Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Ultimo Dragon Ultimo Dragon was in the same mismatch he was last week and this time, his tactics didn't work. Putting his pending King of the Ring tournament matches on the line, Ultimo took a heavy beating from an aggressive Thorn for much of the match. But after being shot to the corner, Ultimo avoided Thorn as he ran in with a shoulder and he then used the ropes for a springboard back kick that knocked Thorn to his feet. He then went to the top turnbuckle, looking to score with a high risk move. But Thorn got up and pushed Ultimo's feet out from under him before bringing him off the ropes with an incredible Stunner. From there, Thorn grabbed Ultimo with both hands around the throat and lifted him over his head, throwing him into the mat. Ariel liked what she was seeing, but she wanted more. She said "I want his blood"! and Thorn lifted Ultimo up for the Crucifix Powerbomb, covering him for the emphatic three count. Match Time: 5:11 Ventura: "Did ya see that, Michael?! That's what should've happened last week"! Cole: "Yeah well it didn't and even though Kevin Thorn and Ariel seem to be in some sort of orgasmic trance over this, it's the Ultimo Dragon who will go on to King of the Ring, still alive in the tournament". THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND A RED HAZE SLOWLY FELL OVER THE ARENA AS THORN AND ARIEL LOOKED DOWN AT THE DRAGON, AN EXCITED, YET EVIL LOOK ON BOTH OF THEIR FACES. Ventura: "I don't know, after that match, Bobby Lashley might be in better shape than the Dragon"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ COMMERCIALS FOR BEST BUY AND UPS ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, EDGE AND RANDY ORTON ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK. Randy Orton: "I don't know how much I like this new match Shane McMahon came up with man, I mean, maybe taking out Lashley wasn't such a good idea". Edge: "Are you kidding me? Think about it..... if I pin Travis Wakeman at King of the Ring, which everyone knows I can, I would become TWF World champion! Don't you see it...... we'd have both belts, right here"! Orton: "Well let's just make sure that happens and someone like Batista is kept far away from me". “COME ON” BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND A NEW SET OF RED FIREWORKS SHOOTS OUT AS THE BLOOD BROTHERS MARCH DOWN TO THE RING TO A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HEAT, OF COURSE CARRYING THEIR BLACK STAFFS. AS THEY GET TO THE RING, DUSTIN KASH & SEAN O’HAIRE ASK FOR MICROPHONES. Cole: "We're about ready for an interpromotional match here on PrimeTime but it looks like our tag team champions want to talk first".
Sean O’Haire: "You guys shut your pie holes and show us some respect"!
Dustin Kash: "Oh I get it… you guys must be upset about your crappy Blackhawks. I mean when the only team with a worse record than your team is the Columbus Blue Jackets, you know there’s something wrong. Now listen damnit! Last week on Rampage the world witnessed history! For the second time in a matter of months, the Hardy Boyz were screwed, yes I said SCREWED out of the Rampage tag team titles by none other than the team who stands before you"!
Sean O’Haire: "Proving once again that we are the most dominant tag team in TWF history"!
Dustin Kash: "And if you don’t believe us, then just go ask the Orient Express… the Brood… Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat… Bahamut and Strife… and haha… The Boogeyman! See it has already been established that the Blood Brothers are the best tag team of our generation, but King of the Ring is all about proving that we are also the best tag team of the last generation… the Hardy Boyz generation"!
Sean O’Haire: "That’s being a little kind don’t you think, I mean they never won the tag team titles in their many years in the TWF".
Dustin Kash: "Oh right… haha pathetic! The Blood Brothers have accomplished more in a mere few months than the Hardy Boyz have in their whole careers! King of the Ring is going to be the nail in the coffin… the icing on the cake… because King of the Ring is going to be a rude awakening for the Hardy Boyz… they are going to figure out that Jeff Hardy should’ve stayed in that hell hole known as Slaughterhouse… and Matt Hardy should’ve continued jobbing as a singles star on Rampage, because if they think that they are going to defeat the Blood Brothers well then… go back to rehab boys cause you must be smoking something"!
WITH THAT THE HARDY BOYZ MUSIC HITS AND THEY RUN OUT TO THE RING TO A HUGE POP, TRADING SHOTS WITH THE BLOOD BROTHERS. EVENTUALLY REFEREE MIKE CHIODA GETS SEAN O’HAIRE AND JEFF HARDY OUT OF THE RING AND THEN CALLS FOR THE BELL AND THE MATCH BETWEEN MATT HARDY AND DUSTIN KASH GETS UNDERWAY. Dustin Kash w/ Sean O'Haire vs. Matt Hardy w/ Jeff Hardy After the words from the Blood Brothers, the Hardy Boyz were both fired up. Matt caught Kash with a big clothesline before suddenly launching himself through the top and middle ring ropes right onto Sean O'Haire, taking him down with the suicide dive. Jeff came over to help his brother up and Matt rolled back into the ring. But Kash was waiting for him, hammering him across the back with 3 clubbing shots. He then put Matt's head up against the bottom turnbuckle pad, and, using a running start, he kicked his head right against it. After a brief celebration, Kash pulled Matt up and drove him into the mat with a stumppuller piledriver, hooking the leg for the 1......2......., but Matt was able to roll his right shoulder off the mat. Kash pulled him up and threw him shoulder first into the steel ring post. While Kash had Chioda distracted, O'Haire came and punched Matt right in the face with a stiff right hand. But Jeff saw this and ran over to his brother's aid, flailing away at O'Haire. Chioda did his best to calm the situation while in the ring, Kash had removed the top turnbuckle pad on the far side. But when he went to ram Matt into it, Matt blocked it with his foot and elbowed him in the gut before delivering the Side Effect. The crowd could sense Matt taking control as he went to the top rope, coming off with his falling legdrop right across the throat. Chioda had managed to get Jeff and O'Haire to opposite sides of the ring as Matt waited for Kash to get up and after a kick to the gut, he delivered the "Twist of Fate" and hooked the near leg for the 3 count and a big win. Match Time: 6:05 Cole: "Score one for the Hardy Boyz"! Ventura: "What are you so happy about, Michael, those are our guys that just got beat"! Cole: "Well if you ask me, they had that coming to them and now, they've built themselves some momentum heading into King of the Ring"! THE HARDY's MUSIC PLAYED AND THEY CELEBRATED WITH THE CHEERING CROWD AS KASH AND O'HAIRE WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH THEIR BELTS, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS. Ventura: "Well this week on Rampage, Sean O'Haire will face Jeff Hardy in a chance for the champs to get that one back"! BACKSTAGE...... MARIA IS SHOWN STANDING BY WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL, WHO IS IMMEDIATELY CHEERED FOR FROM INSIDE THE UNITED CENTER. Maria: "Jordan, I just wondered if you had anything on your mind after hearing what Axl Irvin had to say earlier and he's got some..... some football guy with him and..... Jordan Rockwell: "Ya know Chitown, here I am minding my own business, kicking Shane Thompson's ass and from behind comes Axl Irvin and next thing I know, I got thumbtacks all over me and getting them pulled out was fun also! Normally I would stand here and say how Axl seemed comfortable jumping on a guy from behind but I won't.......
The fans boo......
wait, you all want me to insult him?
The fans cheer.....
Wow, so much for hometown advantage. Okay well there was this one rumor that Traci had a bigger one than Axl and well........ only Axl can clear that up from what I hear, uhhhhh, if you all know what I mean.
The fans start laughing.......
Now Irvin, I could stand here and insult you all night long and enjoy doing it but if I am going to enjoy anything tonight it's going to be kicking your ass so if you want some then come and get it, cause I'm not hard to find! I'm the cat sittin' on top of PrimeTime so let's try this out. You come here and get this ass whoopin' or i come find you and deliver it to you, what's it gonna be"?
JUST THEN, RANDY ORTON WALKS UP WITH HIS USUAL COCKY GRIN.
Randy Orton: "Rockwell, I think maybe you have been hit in the head one time too many because I could swear you just said that you were the one sitting on top of PrimeTime when it's me, Randy Orton, that has this......
Orton holds the championship up.
The Universal championship belt which makes me the man around here, not you!
Rockwell gets a smile on his face.
Orton: "What the hell are you smiling at"?!
Rockwell: "I'm sorry, but I guess you just haven't heard the news".
Orton: "What news"?!
Rockwell: "The news that said that with that belt or not you kinda well....... suck!
The fans begin a chant of "Orton sucks" which clearly gets him upset.
See what I'm sayin'"?
Orton: "I'm the Universal champion..... I do not suck"!
Rockwell: "Nah you suck and I can prove it.
Orton looks at him puzzled.
Oh yeah, see fact is there is one reason and one reason only that you are the Universal champion and that is because I haven't decided I want the title back yet"!
Orton: "Oh is that so"?
Rockwell points at the belt.
Rockwell: "Ya see Randy, what you need to understand is that my attention is something that you just don't want because whenever I feel like it, I will simply come kick your ass and take what everyone knows is mine. Now if you'll excuse me, I got a delivery to make". ROCKWELL WALKS OFF AND ORTON IS QUITE ANGERED. Cole: "What do you make of that, Jess"?! "MIDDLE OF NOWHERE" BY THE BLANK THEORY HITS AND THE CROWD QUICKLY BOOS AS SHANE THOMPSON AND ALEX SHELLEY COME OUT. SHELLEY IS CARRYING HIS CAMCORDER, WHICH HE HAS ON RECORD. Ventura: "That Rockwell better watch out who he makes enemies with, he's got a Bed of Nails match to worry about"! Cole: "Well fans fasten your seat belts because you are about to witness the last match on PrimeTime for two men"! Ventura: "I still can't believe we are going through with this match! I can't imagine any of these guys being gone"! MOST OF THE CROWD POPS AS "THE TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT ALONG WITH JOHNNY HAZARD. Cole: "John Cena, who was recently traded to PrimeTime could be gone just that quick along with Johnny Hazard"! Ventura: "And look at this, there's no Harem tonight, maybe they already now what's in store for these two"! RIGHT AS CENA AND HAZARD GOT INTO THE RING, THOMPSON AND SHELLEY GOT THE JUMP ON THEM AND REFEREE CHARLES ROBINSON ASKED FOR THE BELL TO GET IT STARTED. Loser's Leave Town Match Shane Thompson and Alex Shelley vs. John Cena and Johnny Hazard Thompson and Shelley were all over Cena and Hazard and the fans tried to bring them back into it. After knocking Johnny Hazard out of the ring, Thompson and Shelley set Cena up for a double team move. Shelley held Cena's arms behind his back as Thompson loaded up for a superkick. But Cena moved and Thompson struck Shelley, knocking him through the ropes and to the floor! Outside the ring, Hazard ran through Shelley with a clothesline before picking him up and tossing him into the crowd! In the ring, Cena delivered his spinning side powerbomb manuever before connecting with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. The crowd was going crazy as Cena waited for Thompson to get up and when he did, he loaded him up onto his shoulders and dumped him with the "F-U" for the 1.........2........3. Match Time: 3:11 Cole: "And just like that, Shane Thompson and Alex Shelley have been F-U'd right off of PrimeTime"! Ventura: "I can't believe this, Michael, this is a sad day for PrimeTime! This is gonna make my announcement later a little easier"! AS "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYS, JOHNNY HAZARD GRABS THE CAMCORDER AND TOSSES IT TO CENA. FROM THE TOP OF THE RAMP, SHANE THOMPSON TAKES ONE LONG, HARD LOOK INTO THE CROWD BEFORE GOING TO THE BACK. Cole: "How ironic is it that their little camera just recorded their own last match"?! Ventura: "I think this crowd should be on their feet for Shane Thompson! He was a true warrior who always gave everything he had in that ring! Shane Thompson is a once in a lifetime wrestler as far as I'm concerned"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "DEJA VU" STARRING DENZEL WASHINGTON. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS SHOW BRIAN URLACHER SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR BOTH RORY AND ROBBIE McCALLISTER, THE HIGHLANDERS. Urlacher: "Who do you want this made out to"? Rory: "I'm Rory, and this is my cousin Robbie". Robbie: "I'm Robbie"! Urlacher: "Oooookay". URLACHER FINISHES SIGNING WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL WALKS UP. Rockwell: "Keep those guys, they'll be worth money someday. I mean, many consider this guy the best linebacker in the NFL". Urlacher: "Can I help you"? Rockwell: "Jordan Rockwell, the guy you were badmouthing earlier. ROCKWELL EXTENDS HIS HAND AND URLACHER SHAKES IT. Now I don't know if you heard earlier, but Axl Irvin isn't exactly the most popular guy in Chicago. I wouldn't think a guy like you would want the same rep. So, can we go talk some things over"? Urlacher: "Sure, but I've got to be in Axl's corner for his match tonight..... I told him I would". Rockwell: "Well you know he's actually a Packers fan, right"? Urlacher: "Oh really"? THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE MARIA IS STANDING BY WITH BOTH EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA. Maria: "Guys, at the King of the Ring, you have a chance to win the tournament and become King of the TWF, can..... Eddie Saint James: "You are exactly right, Maria. You've got Harley Race, Jerry Lawler and Randy Savage, all men who have claimed to be royalty in the past. But they would all pale in comparison to King James! And not only that, but would there be anyone who could make a better Queen than my beautiful wife..... Monica"? THE SAINT AND MONICA KISS AND A DISGUSTED MARIA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING WHERE PAUL LONDON IS WAITING, GETTING LOOSE. Cole: "King James, huh? Somehow, I think there are several superstars who will have something to say about that"! "LIT UP" BY BUCKCHERRY HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT WITH BOTH TRACI BROOKS AND BRIAN URLACHER, WHO IS WEARING HIS WHITE #54 JERSEY. THEY ARE GIVEN A MIXED REACTION, PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE OF URLACHER's PRESENCE. Ventura: "You have to admit it has a nice ring to it though". Cole: "Well what I do know is that in less than one week, this man will enter into the biggest match of his career, a match we've only seen once in the history of the TWF..... it's a Bed of Nails match"! Ventura: "So brutal the TWF is refusing to sanction it. And what does it say about Axl as a man to take a match like this with a man like Paul London who was one of the longest reigning champions in TWF history, for any title! I can really respect that. When was the last time Rockwell had a match, my first year here at the table"? Cole: "Oh stop". Paul London vs. Axl Irvin w/ Traci Brooks and Brian Urlacher London locked up with Axl who showed a great deal of determination in this one. London got his shots in by using his quickness but Axl was just too much. After absorbing a backbreaker and a Rude Awakening neckbreaker, London ducked a clothesline and caught Axl with the dropsault. But he jumped off the middle turnbuckle and Axl drove a right hand right into his midsection which led to a DDT that stuck London straight into the mat. From there, Axl delivered the "Axl Cutter" and covered London for the 3 count. Match Time: 6:09 Ventura: "Now that's a quality, quality win for Axl. To beat London like that is just...... Cole: "Wait a minute, here comes Rockwell! Maybe he wants to make that delivery now"! ROCKWELL RUNS OUT AND SLIDES INTO THE RING BUT AXL KICKS HIM IN THE CROTCH, DOUBLING HIM OVER. AFTER A NASTY DDT, AXL ASKS TRACI FOR SOMETHING AND SHE PULLS OUT A HAMMER AND A LONG, 4 INCH NAIL. AXL GETS DOWN BY ROCKWELL's LEFT KNEE, READY TO POUND THE NAIL INTO IT! Cole: "No way.... somebody's gotta stop this"! Ventura: "Now this is called sending a message"! JUST BEFORE AXL CAN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH HIS PLAN, HE IS TACKLED BY URLACHER WHO LAYS HIM OUT! THE CROWD GOES WILD AS ROCKWELL GETS BACK UP AND CLOTHESLINES AXL OVER THE TOP ROPE. URLACHER RIPS HIS JERSEY OFF AND THROWS IT INTO THE CROWD, GIVING SOMEONE A GREAT SOUVENIR AS "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS. Ventura: "What the hell is that guy doing?! He might be considered a great football player, Michael, but he's in the wrong place to be acting like that"! Cole: "But what a scene it is! Jordan Rockwell and Brian Urlacher standing tall in a TWF ring! What's gonna happen in that Bed of Nails match"?! Ventura: "Well we almost got a free preview if not for this moron from the Chicago Bears"! AS ROCKWELL AND URLACHER LEAVE THE RING TO A HUGE CHEER, A STEEL CAGE BEGINS TO LOWER DOWN AROUND THE RING. Cole: "Well it's hung over the ring all night and when we come back, it's Edge and Taz.... in a cage"! A COMMERCIAL FOR DR. PEPPER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A NEW COMMERCIAL FOR NIKE FEATURING CARMELO ANTHONY. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... PRIMETIME RETURNS AND "METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE PLAYS, BRINGING OUT EDGE TO SOME MASSIVE BOOS BEFORE CAMERAS FOCUS ON THE ANNOUNCE POSITION. Cole: "Back on PrimeTime and we are ready for our main event which will feature two men who have a chance to become champions at King of the Ring, Jess. But you eluded to it earlier, you have an announcement to make". Ventura: "I do, Michael, and that is that King of the Ring will be my last night with the TWF and with PrimeTime and I gotta say, I have loved this more than just about any job I've ever had". Cole: "Better than being Governor"? Ventura: "Well it's up there". Cole: "So are there any political plans for ya now, partner"? Ventura: "You never know, I've said we may see a wrestler in the White House in 2008, so you never know". EDGE ENTERS THE CAGE AND SURVEYS IT AS "BEFORE I FORGET" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYS AND TAZ COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. Cole: "Well I gotta say, it's been an honor sittin' next to you callin' the shows and I can only hope that the next guy they put here is as fun to work with"! Ventura: "Well there's two things I love about my last night on PrimeTime here. One, it's a cage match and a huge main event and two, I get to see one of, if not my favorite wrestler in the TWF, Edge"! Steel Cage Match Edge vs. Taz With 2 losses to Taz, Edge was really looking to get the monkey off his back in this one. But both men took a beating as the cage was the most used offensive weapon in the match. After grinding Taz's face against the mesh, Edge ran and speared him right into the cage wall. He then tried to make his way out, asking for the outside referee, Chris Kay, to open the cage door. With the door open, Edge saw his escape but Taz popped up with a look of insanity in his eyes and ran over, grabbing Edge and throwing him across the ring with a release german suplex. Taz then hit a cobra clutch suplex before just standing over Edge, clubbing him on either side of the head with some swinging shots. Taz too decided to go for the cage door, but Edge was intent on stopping him. He came from behind and tried to pull Taz down with the Edge-O-Matic but Taz grabbed the ring ropes to block it. He then turned around and threw a clothesline but Edge ducked and kicked Taz right in the crotch before delivering his impaler DDT known as the "Edge-a-Cution". Edge decided that with Taz in the way of the door, he would try and climb out of the steel structure. But again, Taz would not be denied, using the ring ropes to climb up and grab Edge's left foot. Edge tried to fight him off but Taz incredibly used a dragon leg whip to bring Edge down and all the way to the mat! From there, Taz jumped to the top of the cage and climbed over, falling to the mat below to win it. Match Time: 8:40 Cole: "And once again..... Taz has defeated Edge! Can you imagine if he can pin Randy Orton or choke him out with the Tazmission, we could be looking at the new Universal champion"! Ventura: "I hope not..... it'll be my last night.... I hope not"! "BEFORE I FORGET" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND THE CROWD CHEERED AS TAZ WALKED AWAY WITH THE VICTORY AND EDGE LOOKED ON, GRABBING AT HIS LEFT KNEE. Cole: "What will happen at King of the Ring?! We'll see you there"! OFF AIR.......
