Edmund P. Joyce Center

South Bend, Indiana

Attendance: 6,813

March 23, 2008

It was the monumental 200th live broadcast for PrimeTime, as the show ran it's second consecutive in Indiana. It was a smaller crowd than usual on the inside, but that didn't take away from an excellent, unforgettable night.

Drew McIntyre vs. Tony Kozina (invitee)

The young Drew McIntyre got the night started off with a nice win over Tony Kozina, using a sunset flip off the middle turnbuckle to win the match.

Kenny Doane vs. Carney

Fresh off losing the Lightheavyweight title, Kenny Doane was out to get himself back in the title hunt. Carney gave him all he could handle, but after missing with a Swanton Bomb off the top rope, Doane hit the "Doane-Ation" to win it.

Matt Hardy vs. Rene Dupree

Uprising's main event was a good one, a back and forth match between two stars looking to crack into the mainstream of PrimeTime. Matt Hardy used the Side Effect and his falling leg drop off the top rope, but as he set up for the "Twist of Fate", Dupree grabbed the back of his neck in agony. The referee forced Matt Hardy to back off, and when he turned his back, the Frenchman showed his true colors, coming from behind to roll Matt up for the upset victory.

Dupree's music played but it was drowned out by all the boos as Uprising came to a close.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

WHEN PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, A VIDEO PACKAGE COMMEMORATING THE BEST MOMENTS IN PRIMETIME HISTORY IS SHOWN. AMONG THE CLIPS SHOWN ARE TRISH STRATUS PINNING TRAVIS WAKEMAN ON THE FIRST LIVE EPISODE, THE BRAWL INVOLVING THE TWF AND WCW2 AT THE END OF THE SHOW ON AUGUST 14, 2001, DREW BLOOD DEFEATING REY MYSTERIO, VLAD THE IMPALER DEFEATING SHANE THOMPSON IN TOKYO AND JORDAN ROCKWELL JOUSTING CHARLIE HAAS TO A 0-0 TIE IN AN ULTIMATE SUBMISSION MATCH, AMONG MANY OTHERS.

SHOTS OF SEVERAL SUPERSTARS THAT HAVE APPEARED ON PRIMETIME OVER THE YEARS WERE ALSO SHOWN INCLUDING BROCK LESNAR, STEVE AUSTIN, SHANE THOMPSON, ROME, ULTIMO DRAGON, TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND KID GUNDAM, JUST TO NAME A FEW. THAT IS CAPPED OFF BY AN IMAGE OF SHANE McMAHON.

THE ARENA THEN COMES INTO THE LIVE SHOT, AND FANS ARE SCREAMING AND GOING NUTS AS PYRO ILLUMINATES THE BUILDING.

Michael Cole: "We have made it! Tonight marks the two hundreth broadcast of TWF PrimeTime.... and we are so happy to be here on the FOX network"!

Honky Tonk Man: "Well the FOX network certainly deserves a hell of a lot of credit for allowing us to bring this show to the millions and millions of PrimeTime fans, but the fans deserve some credit for helping us reach this milestone"!

KEVIN THORN's MUSIC HITS AND BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AND HIS WALKING STICK. THORN IS IN AN ALL BLACK SUIT AND TIE AND ARIEL IS FOLLOWING HIM.

Cole: "Are my ears deceiving me? Did you actually just say something nice"?

HTM: "Yes, and that's all I plan to say in regards to that".

Cole: "Well we are starting out this huge broadcast with divas action and speaking of divas..... there's Ariel".

HTM: "Why would you say it like that? Ariel is a very, very attractive woman"!

A GENERIC TUNE COMES ON AND MARIA COMES OUT, BLOWING KISSES TO THE CHEERING CROWD AND FOLLOWING HER IS CM PUNK.

Cole: "Yeah, she'd look even better if you had a fistful of garlic! Anyway, we all know what's on the line at Code Red! Not only will CM Punk challenge Kevin Thorn for the Intercontinental title, but if he loses, Ariel and Thorn are to..... I can't even say it.....

HTM: "Sacrifice her! They plan to sacrifice miss innocent, Maria"!

Cole: "Well it will just be one on one here and I gotta give Maria some credit, she's not backing down from Ariel one bit".

Ariel w/ Kevin Thorn vs. Maria w/ CM Punk

As the bell sounded, Maria came out throwing right hands and landing them with accuracy, rocking Ariel back into the ropes. Off an irish whip, Maria hit a flying clothesline before grabbing Ariel and ramming the back of her head into the mat. Ariel reversed position and smashed Maria's head into the mat multiple times before slapping her across the face. Ariel missed an elbow drop, and Maria got to her feet, kicking her in the ribs. She then pulled Ariel's hair and just dragged her around the ring. From the middle turnbuckle, Maria came off with a flying crossbody, landing it for a 2 count. Both ladies got to their feet but Ariel ducked a clothesline and kicked Maria in the gut, hitting a sitdown facebuster, rolling her over for the 3 count. Ariel rolled Maria over and moved in like she was going to bite her neck, but Punk got in the ring and Ariel rolled out into the arms of Thorn, who led her away to plenty of boos.

Match Time: 4:32

Cole: "What the hell was that woman thinking?! She wasn't gonna bite her.... was she"?!

HTM: "I don't know it sure looked like it!

PUNK LOOKED VERY ANGRY AS HE KNELT OVER MARIA, WHO WAS STILL IN PAIN.

All I know is, CM Punk, you better win that match at Code Red"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN WITH JBL ON ONE SIDE AND JORDAN ROCKWELL ON THE OTHER. A LARGE GLASS OF BEER IS BETWEEN THE TWO MEN.

Cole: "Well folks, there's action of all sorts tonight! As we first learned on TWF.com, JBL has challenged Jordan Rockwell to a beer drinking contest"!

HTM: "I have all the respect in the world for Jordan Rockwell, but he shouldn't have accepted this challenge"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR CODE RED FEATURING MONEY MIKE VS. RIC FLAIR.

***FROM THIS POINT, RESULTS WILL BE CONDENSED DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS***

RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.....

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHAWN MICHAELS IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA. A VOICE GETS HIS ATTENTION AND CALLS HIM OVER.... IT's PJ CASH.

PJ Cash: "So tonight, your partner is going to show all of his fans how much beer he can drink, eh? Ya know, I don't think it's much of a secret how much you have meant to this business. Do you really want that all to go down the drain because of some guy who could care less about you or those tag team titles? Face it, Shawn, Rockwell is an individual..... everyone needs some backup".

CASH SMILES AND WALKS AWAY AS MICHAELS JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD.

Daivari vs. Turrican

Fans got their first look at the masked man known as Turrican. Turrican came out in a light blue and pink outfit and a horned mask. Daivari, a former Lightheavyweight champion in his own right, was not impressed. But the newest edition to the Lightheavyweight division certainly impressed the fans with his flashly offense that included plenty of high risk moves. Daivari was able to avoid a flying spin kick off the top rope before picking him up for a german suplex. But Turrican rolled forward into an incredible pinning combination to nearly steal it. Daivari kicked out and caught him with a big DDT. After putting the boots to Turrican, Daivari whipped him to the ropes and hit a nice sleeper hold slam. From there, Daivari went to the top rope for the knockout blow, but Turrican rolled out of the way of his flying legdrop. When Daivari finally got back up, Turrican grabbed him and delivered a very interesting modified fisherman's buster, which he calls "You Sunk My Battleship". Turrican then covered Daivari and got the pin.

Match Time: 7:28

After the match, Turrican performed a very unique, almost childlike dance but the crowd quickly caught on, mimicking the moves while they clapped and cheered.

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CHAVO GUERRERO IS WATCHING THE MATCH ON A MONITOR WHEN TALIA COMES UP IN A VERY REVEALING OUTFIT. CHAVO CLEARLY LIKES WHAT HE SEES.

Talia: "So.... Chavo, how are you"?

Chavo Guerrero: "What do you need"?

Talia: "Ugh..... that was a little rude. Forget this, Tsunami or Teletubbie, whatever his name is.......

Chavo: "It's Turrican".

Talia: "Whatever..... what I want to know is when can my man, Gregory Helms, get a title shot".

TALIA STARTS TO RUN HER FINGER DOWN CHAVO's CHEST, BUT HE REMOVES IT.

Chavo: "When he deserves one".

Talia: "Whatever........

TALIA TURNS TO WALK AWAY AND SHE DROPS SOMETHING SHE WAS HOLDING, BENDING OVER TO PICK IT UP. CHAVO JUST TURNS AND LOOKS THE OTHER WAY, MUCH TO HER DISMAY, BEFORE SHE LEAVES.

Ric Flair vs. Dustin Kash

Ric Flair came out and was soaking up the standing ovation he received from the crowd. But like a wild animal, Dustin Kash jumped on him, savagely beating the Nature Boy. After rocking Flair with an uncountable amount of punches, Kash pulled him up and kicked him right in the crotch! Flair fell to his knees in plenty of pain as Kash went outside the ring, grabbing a steel chair. Despite referee Charles Robinson trying to stop Kash, he smashed the chair over Flair's head, busting him open and leaving him lying in the ring. Kash left to some very, very serious heat as the show went to break.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR CHILI's RESTAURANTS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR VERIZON WIRELESS.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....

Paul Birchill vs. Cody Hawk (invitee)

When PrimeTime returns, Paul Birchill shows a violent side in beating the heck out of young Cody Hawk. After dominating him by focusing on his lower back, Birchill puts Hawk face down and pulls his arms straight back behind him. He then uses his right foot to stomp Hawk's face into the mat. From there, Birchill locks in a bow and arrow from a very awkward angle and Hawk quickly gives up.

Match Time: 3:12

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS STANDING BY WITH PAUL HEYMAN.

Lena Yada: "Paul Heyman, we all know that in tonight's main event, Joe Corey will defend the ECW World title in a Lights Out match against Chaos Wolf. Can you......

Paul Heyman: "Lena, Lena, Lena, I can call you that, right?

LENA NODS HER HEAD

My client is headed to the main event of WrestleMania. The fact that he would be forced to waste his time in a match with someone named Chaos Wolf is really nothing more than an annoyance. I mean, we all know that Corey is going to mow this kid down, and head to......

JUST THEN, EDGE COMES STRUTTING UP.

Edge: "Well look who it is, the big agent himself, Paul Heyman. Tell me, how is your "client" doing tonight? I mean, after all, he does want to face the Rated R Superstar at WrestleMania! Do you really think he can beat me"?

Heyman: "Well, with all due respect, Edge, I can't even recall off the top of my head the last time my client lost a match".

Edge: "Well one thing you might want to tell him before he goes out there tonight....... be ready for anything"!

EDGE WALKS AWAY AND HEYMAN LOOKS A LITTLE WORRIED.

Bobby Lashley vs. Kato w/ Sonny Onoo

Another ECW opponent for Lashley, another victory en route to his collision course with Sylvester Terkay at Code Red. Kato's martial arts were no match for the power of Lashley, who blocked a kick, threw Kato back and slammed into him with a spear. From there, he drove him into the mat with the Dominator to win it.

Match Time: 5:07

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE....

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Umaga vs. Axl Irvin

The heated rivalry between these two men continued in this all important match. Axl attacked Umaga before the bell rang, and the two men slugged it out. Axl just didn't have the firepower to stand toe to toe with Umaga, and he soon fell victim to a superkick and a Samoan drop. But with Axl seemingly beat, Umaga began to choke him, and despite warnings from referee Mike Enos and two seperate 5 counts, Umaga got himself disqualified! Furious with the result, Umaga went and grabbed a steel chair but when he brought it back in, Axl stomped on his bare foot, causing him to drop the chair. Axl then picked the chair up and popped Umaga over the head with it, knocking him to the mat after a total of 3 chair shots! The fans cheered as Axl had just qualified for the WrestleMania Jackpot.

Match Time: 5:48

BACKSTAGE..... TRAINER's OFFICE......

IN THE TRAINER's OFFICE, RIC FLAIR IS BEING EXAMINED WHILE HE CLEANS HIMSELF UP WHEN A VERY CONCERNED JOHN CENA COMES IN.

John Cena: "Ric, Ric, I'm sorry man, I should've been out there. I was.......

Ric Flair: "John, don't worry about it, it happens. You think this is the first time I've gotten my ass kicked?! I've been hit harder and I've been hit by much better than that punk"!

Cena: "I just thought I'd check on ya, I.......

Flair: "Look, I appreciate that, I really do, but I'll be fine".

Cena: "Alright, that's all I needed to hear".

CENA TURNS AND LEAVES THE OFFICE AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA COME OUT AND THEY CALL THE SAME FAKE "JOHNNY HAZARD" THEY HAD ON THE LAST SHOW. AGAIN, THE MAN IS TRYING TO TELL THE SAINT SOMETHING, BUT HE WON'T LISTEN. FINALLY, SAINT JAMES GETS HIM UP FOR THE "DEATH TO HUMANITY" WHEN THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS, THEY COME BACK ON, AND MYSTERIOUSLY, THERE IS A SHOVEL IN THE RING. WORRIED, MONICA GRABS THE SAINT's HAND AND THE TWO LEAVE THE RING AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE......

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, A TABLE FULL OF SEVERAL EMPTY GLASSES AND AT LEAST 10 FULL PITCHERS OF BEER SITS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING. A LOUD BELL RINGS AND LEADS INTO JBL's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT TO SOME OF THE LOUDEST BOOS ALL NIGHT.

Cole: "We are back live folks and in two hundred broadcasts, how many beer drinking contests do you think we've had"?

HTM: "Oh, probably none, lord knows you haven't been in any".

Cole: "We know that at Code Red, JBL and Jordan Rockwell are scheduled to meet in a Bar Room Brawl and is it just me, or is JBL allowing his hatred for Rockwell to make him revert back to his old self, the one he claims to dislike"?

HTM: "Well, you probably know JBL better than I do, having had to sit next to him for all that time, but I do know this..... whatever it takes to win".

THE FANS GO BALLISTIC WHEN "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES.

Cole: "Here comes the franchise! Ever since the TWF was split into divisions years ago..... PrimeTime has had one constant..... and you're looking at him"!

HTM: "Jordan Rockwell has had a career most guys in this line or work only dream of, but if he thinks he can drink more beer than JBL..... he's dreaming"!

ROCKWELL STOPS JUST IN FRONT OF THE RING, AND PULLS OUT A MIC.

Jordan Rockwell: "John, as much as I'd like to get into that ring and have this drink-off, most of the people close to me know I am a recovering alcoholic. Plus, I'd rather save my energy to kick your ass at Code Red!

ANGRY, JBL YELLS AT ROCKWELL AND KICKS THE RING ROPES, SCREAMING "GET IN HERE"!

Oh, don't worry, you're gonna get some action tonight. I have found a very, very suitable replacement, one I know will be happy to come out here and drink some beers. Ladies and gentlemen.... my good friend...... "Stone Cold" Steve Austin"!

THE CROWD GOES INSANE WHEN THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY STEVE AUSTIN's MUSIC. HE COMES OUT IN ONE OF HIS STONE COLD T-SHIRTS AND BLUE JEAN SHORTS.

HTM: "No way! No way"!

Cole: "Can you believe this?! Steve Austin is on PrimeTime"!

AUSTIN GETS INTO THE RING AND POURS HIMSELF A GLASS OF BEER, CHUGGING IT DOWN. HE DOES THIS A SECOND TIME, AND WHEN HE GOES TO POUR HIMSELF A THIRD BEER, JBL COMES AND PUSHES HIM. AUSTIN RESPONDS WITH A DOUBLE MIDDLE FINGER BEFORE DELIVERING THE "STUNNER" TO JBL. AUSTIN THEN POUNDS A COUPLE MORE BEERS AS THE CROWD IS GOING WILD. ROCKWELL ENTERS THE RING TO CELEBRATE WITH HIM.

Cole: "Look at this scene! Jordan Rockwell and Stone Cold, having a beer bash at the expense of JBL"!

HTM: "This is absolutely ridiculous! And now you watch, Rockwell will go and call himself the winner of this match"!

A QUICK PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 9 IS SHOWN, FEATURING NEARLY EVERY SUPERSTAR IN THE TWF.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR HITS AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION.

Cole: "Well, folks, it's time for our main event, and I would suggest you strap yourself in, because this one is gonna get ugly"!

HTM: "No question about that"!

HTM: "This seems like it's been going on for quite some time, but Joe Corey has barely even acknowledged Chaos Wolf! Tonight, he has no choice"!

HTM: "Why would he acknowledge him?! This guy acted like he wanted to be a part of ECW, only to screw Corey over! Not only that, but he had the nerve to stick his nose in his business and ruin his King of the Ring coronation! Tonight, Joe Corey is gonna make Chaos Wolf wish he never messed with him"!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND BOOS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW AS "MISERIA CANTARE" HITS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE. HE HAS THE ECW WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "Well this will be a Lights Out match, so anything goes and conspicuous by his absence is Corey's agent, Paul Heyman"!

HTM: "Heyman has no need to be out here! We all know what Chaos Wolf is capable of"!

Lights Out/ECW World Title Match

Challenger: Chaos Wolf vs. "The Show" Joe Corey

Two men with an absolute hatred for one another wasted no time going at it here and the match saw very few, if any, wrestling holds. Corey was the aggressor first after a lowblow slowed Wolf down. Corey then took the fight to the floor and threw Wolf into the ring steps. He then used an electrical cord to choke Wolf. Referee Mike Chioda followed the action, and issued a 7 count before Wolf got to his feet. Wolf showed he still had some fight in him, connecting with a right hand. But Corey came back with one of his own before kicking him right in the jaw, knocking him into the crowd. Corey followed him into the crowd, but Wolf grabbed a fans' beer right out of his hand and splashed it in Corey's face. After ramming Corey face first into one of the ringside seats, Wolf led him up some of the arena stairs before suplexing him right on the cement! The fight continued as the two men reached the second level of the arena, and Wolf found a table, placing Corey on it. He then went up a small stairway before flying off, but Corey moved out of the way and Wolf slammed through the table! A beer vendor even stopped his job to get a closer look as Chioda issued his count....... 1..........2..........3.........4........5.......6........7.........8.........9......., but Wolf was somehow up! Corey pulled Wolf back up and went to deliver another shot, but the same beer vendor pulled something out of his bag and used it on Corey! Corey stumbled back and the beer vendor speared him! The man took off his outfit to reveal it was Edge..... and he had a stun gun! Corey was down as Wolf slowly got to his feet as Edge disappeared. Chioda issued the 10 count and it was all over!

Match Time: 18:01

HTM: "No way! There is no way"!

Cole: "Can you believe this! Edge has pulled a page out of Chaos Wolf's book, using a stun gun to rob Joe Corey of the ECW title"!

HTM: "I can't believe what we are seeing"!

"REMEMBER THE NAME" PLAYED AS CHAOS WOLF MADE HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD, HEADED TO THE RING. WHEN HE GOT BACK INTO THE RING, HE WAS AWARDED THE ECW WORLD TITLE AND THE CROWD WAS LOVING IT.

Cole: "We have a new ECW champion, and Joe Corey may be regretting the day he called out Edge"!

HTM: "Well it's certainly a PrimeTime we will never forget"!

OFF AIR...................
