RBC Center

Raleigh, North Carolina

Attendance: 15,290

April 29, 2008

The RBC Center was rockin' with a huge crowd for the last PrimeTime before WrestleMania 9. The fans knew they were in for a treat with a huge 6 man tag and a champion vs. champion match on the card.

Paul Birchill vs. Arch Kincaid (invitee)

Birchill continued his march back up the ranks of PrimeTime since his return to the ring with a very impressive win over Kincaid. After a flying back elbow off an irish whip, Birchill used a curb stomp manuever to set up his finisher, a flipping version of the Rock Bottom which he is calling "Pain and Agony" to get the win.

Matt Hardy vs. Daivari

Matt Hardy came out to a massive pop, not too far from his hometown of Cameron. But Daivari was out to spoil that, and got off to a quick start. Daivari hit a shining wizard before setting Matt up for an STO. But Matt used an elbow to the side of the head to counter before hitting the Side Effect. Matt then got on a run, catching Daivari with a hip toss slam which led to his falling legdrop from the top rope. Moments later, Matt caught the former Lightheavyweight champion with the "Twist of Fate" to win the match, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

"Live for the Moment" by Monster Magnet played and Matt celebrated with the crowd as Uprising came to a close.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

"RAP SUPERSTAR" LEADS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE FOR PRIMETIME BEFORE THE RAUCOUS CROWD COMES INTO THE SHOT AS PYRO SPOUTS OFF FROM THE PRIMETIME SET.

THE CROWD GOES WILD WHEN "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK STEPS OUT TO A MONSTROUS POP.

Michael Cole: "We are live in Raleigh, North Carolina and we have come to our final pit stop before WrestleMania 9! Thank you for tuning in, Michael Cole and The Honky Tonk Man are ringside and we are kicking things off with one of the most popular superstars in the entire TWF"!

Honky Tonk Man: "A hige triple threat match coming up here, Michael, as all three of these men will participate in the WrestleMania Jackpot match"!

Cole: "CM Punk is really starting to hit his stride as of late and he's gotta be one of the favorites to win the Jackpot"!

"THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER AS WELL.

Cole: "Well we know that Axl Irvin has overcome tremendous odds before, who can ever forget when he won the Universal title in the Elimination Chamber"?

HTM: "Plus, you can't discount the fact that Axl defeated Umaga just to qualify, so he can beat anyone on any given night".

"BURN IN MY LIGHT" BY MERCY DRIVE STARTS UP AND PYRO FALLS DOWN FROM THE SET AS RANDY ORTON STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT.

Cole: "And here comes a guy who if egos won you matches, Randy Orton might be untouchable"!

HTM: "You confuse a big ego with confidence, Michael, and that's simply because you don't have any! Randy Orton is the favorite to win the WrestleMania Jackpot and if I could, I'd go down to Vegas and slap down some cash on him winning it"!

Cole: "Big match for all three men here, traditional triple threat rules are in play with the first man to earn a decision being the victor".

Triple Threat Match

CM Punk vs. Axl Irvin vs. Randy Orton

The bell sounds and all 3 men circle one another, looking for a spot to attack. Finally, Punk and Axl agree to go at Orton and they both fired away with right hands. Orton was knocked into the corner, trying to defend himself. Punk whipped him to the far corner and ran in but Orton got his foot up in his face before exploding out of the corner with a clothesline on Axl. Orton then grabbed Punk and went for a suplex but Punk slipped over his shoulders and delivered a kick to the back of the head. But Punk was rolled up from behind by Axl who got a near fall. Both men got to their feet and Axl blocked a right hand but missed with a haymaker and Punk came back with a backhand to each side of the head, only to be dropkicked by Orton. After placing Punk on the middle ring rope, Orton pulled him to the mat with a harsh DDT. Punk rolled out of the ring on instinct as Axl and Orton threw right hands at each other. Orton got in a thumb to the eye before catching Axl with a big kneelift. He then went to the top rope and flew off with a crossbody but Axl rolled through it and got 1...........2......., before Orton pushed him off. Both men got to their feet and Orton grabbed Axl by the neck, ready to drop him across his body but Axl swung him around and delivered a big spinebuster. Axl then turned as Punk was leaping off the top rope with a flying clothesline. Axl kicked him in the gut and knocked him to the mat with a headbutt. But when he turned around, Orton struck out of nowhere with the "RKO". Orton got to his feet, only to be turned around and put on the shoulders of Punk, who delivered the "GTS" with authority, hooking the leg for the 3 count!

Match Time: 7:38

Cole: "Oh what a shot by Punk! Go to sleep, Orton"!

HTM: "That's an upset! No way he does that again"!

"THIS FIRE BURNS" PLAYED AGAIN AND PUNK STOOD IN THE RING, SOAKING UP THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD.

Cole: "CM Punk has taken some serious momentum into WrestleMania! Can he translate that into hitting the Jackpot"?!

A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN FOR TONIGHT's 6 MAN TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT.

HTM "What a start we've had.... but look what we still have to come"!

Cole: "It will be six man tag team mayhem as the Tag Team champions Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels team with the Nature Boy Ric Flair to face JBL, PJ Cash and Dustin Kash"!

ANOTHER PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH EDGE ON ONE SIDE AND CHAVO GUERRERO ON THE OTHER.

HTM: "And as if that wasn't enough, we have this huge champion versus champion match tonight"!

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH THE ARRIVAL OF UFC PRESIDENT DANA WHITE, WHO SHAKES HANDS WITH SHANE McMAHON.

COMMERCIAL BREAK...........

A COMMERCIAL FOR MARIO KART FOR THE NINTENDO WII IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "IRON MAN".

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, ARIEL IS SHOWN IN A DARK CEMETARY, SITTING ATOP A TOMBSTONE WITH HER LEGS CROSSED. IT APPEARS SHE IS PAINTING HER NAILS WHEN KEVIN THORN APPROACHES WITH HIS WALKING STICK.

Kevin Thorn: "Does it look like I'm scared, Undertaker? You see, you forget that Ariel and myself are creatures of the night.... just like you. They call you the master of the mind games, but we both question if you know what you're getting yourself into. We are not scared of you Undertaker! So show your face...... and be careful........

THORN SHOWS HIS FANGS AND THEN SPITS BLOOD RIGHT INTO THE CAMERA, CLOUDING THE SCENE.

"HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER" BY DAFT PUNK HITS AND TURRICAN COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER, DANCING HIS WAY TO THE RING. IN THE RING, GREGORY HELMS AWAITS WITH THE LOVELY TALIA.

Cole: "We are back live and here comes Turrican but first, some ominous words there from Kevin Thorn".

HTM: "I gotta tell ya, I'm a big fan of Kevin Thorn and what he's been able to accomplish, but you have to be out of your mind to be talking to The Undertaker like that"!

Cole: "Kevin Thorn will be in action later tonight, but what do you make of this guy, Turrican"?

HTM: "He's an idiot... plain and simple! Plus, he put his hands on Talia and I know Gregory Helms ain't gonna stand for that"!

Cole: "It was all in fun, come on".

Turrican vs. Gregory Helms w/ Talia

This was just a great match between two very good athletes. Helms tried to bully the newcomer Turrican around, and after a kick to the gut, he slammed him face first into the top turnbuckle. After a falling backdrop suplex, Turrican was a little discombobulated as Helms slapped him multiple times in the back of the head. Helms pulled him up for a snap suplex and made the cover, but Turrican was up at 2. Helms pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but Turrican ducked a clothesline and then used the ropes for a springboard reverse crossbody. Turrican shot Helms to the ropes and lifted him into the air with a backbody drop. From there, he went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a bulldog. But rather than go for a cover, Turrican got up and went into a weird dance, which the crowd did their best to mimic. But Talia got up on the apron and began a little sensual dance of her own, one that seemed to intrigue Turrican. But with the distraction in place, Helms came with a shot from behind. Following a falling reverse DDT, Helms went to the corner and got ready for the shining wizard. But Turrican had it scouted, ducking the flying kick. He then got up and hit a spin kick to the head of Helms before whipping him to the ropes for a hurracanrana, which Helms just barely kicked out of. Back on their feet, Helms got in a kick that looked a little low before shooting Turrican to the corner. But when he charged in, Turrican got out of the way and then hit his finisher, "You sunk my Battleship" before hooking the leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:17

Cole: "He got him! What a huge win for Turrican"!

HTM: "What does he call that move"?!

Cole: "You sunk my battleship"!

HTM: "No, what does he call the move you idiot"?!

Cole: "That's what he calls it.... You sunk my battleship"!

HTM: "What an idiot"!

"HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER" PLAYED AGAIN AND TURRICAN DANCED IN THE RING AS THE CROWD ATE IT UP. AN UPSET TALIA HELPED HELMS UP THE AISLE TO THE BACK.

BACKSTAGE.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE.....

FINLAY IS IN SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION.

Shane McMahon: "I totally understand that you want to fight at WrestleMania..... who doesn't? But you might be in luck. I have helped put together a very special invitation battle royale for WrestleMania. Who knows, maybe you'll get an invitation".

FINLAY SLAMS HIS SHILLELAGH ON THE DESK.

Finlay: "Damn well better"!

FINLAY TURNS AND LEAVES THE OFFICE.

Shane (shouting): "Not with an attitude like that you won't"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MI DESTROJERO" IS PLAYING AND KEVIN THORN IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH ARIEL WHO IS DRESSED IN A RED AND BLACK CORSET AND SHE HAS A BLACK HOODED CAPE ON. SUPER CRAZY IS IN THE RING AWAITING.

Cole: "We heard he words from Kevin Thorn earlier tonight and how freaky was it to see these two in that cemetary"?

HTM: "They went right into The Undertaker's domain, Michael. They proved that they're not going to let the deadman scare them. Not only that, but there's still no indication The Undertaker even wants to come back to the TWF".

Cole: "The Intercontinental title will not be on the line in this one but for Super Crazy, he might want to focus on getting out of here in one piece".

Non-Title Match

Super Crazy vs. Intercontinental champion: Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel

This was about as one-sided as a match can be, as Super Crazy actually got in the first few shots and then connected with a dropkick to the right knee. But after running the ropes, he ran into a huge kick to the head from Thorn. Thorn then dropped a big elbow on Crazy before using his right hand to choke him on the mat. Thorn picked up Crazy and threw him into the corner before moving in with a stiff back elbow. He then whipped him to the ropes and pushed him high up into the air. Crazy crashed onto the mat as Ariel clapped her hands outsie the ring. Thorn then picked Crazy up for an incredible running powerbomb, a move most of the crowd had to appreciate. From there, Thorn lifted Crazy up and draped him over the top ring rope before delivering the "Dark Kiss" for the convincing win.

Match Time: 3:34

HTM: "Now that's how you do it.... that is why Kevin Thorn in the Intercontinental champion! He.......

SUDDENLY, THE LIGHTS GO OUT.

Cole: "Oh boy.......

THE SOUND OF A TOLLING BELL IS HEARD AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN THEY SEE THE UNDERTAKER STANDING IN THE RING! KEVIN THORN QUICKLY GETS OUT OF THE RING, AND BEGINS TO RETREAT WITH ARIEL.

HTM: "No way.... it can't be him"!

Cole: "The Undertaker is here and he has come for Kevin Thorn"!

AFTER POINTING AT THORN, THE UNDERTAKER MADE A THROAT SLASH GESTURE BEFORE HIS MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN.

HTM: "Get out of there, Thorn! You don't owe this guy anything"!

Cole: "This is the first time we have seen The Undertaker in close to two years! Wow, what a moment"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR BUD LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR AMERICAN IDOL.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "MISERIA CANTARE" IS PLAYING AND JOHN MORRISON IS IN THE RING, TAUNTING SOME RINGSIDE FANS.

"REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR KICKS UP AND CHAOS WOLF STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WITH THE ECW WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "Welcome back to TWF PrimeTime, fans, and here comes the ECW World champion"!

HTM: "And there is a member of the ECW camp in the ring and to say they want that title to come back where it belongs would be a huge understatement"!

Cole: "They'll get that oppurtunity at WrestleMania when Chaos Wolf puts the title on the line in an extreme rules match with the Manbear, Sylvester Terkay".

HTM: "But this will be a chance for John Morrison to help his ECW brethren out.... by softening up Chaos Wolf"!

Non-Title Match

John Morrison vs. ECW World champion: Chaos Wolf

The bell sounded and Chaos Wolf came out on the attack, rocking Morrison with right hands and kicks to the body. After shooting him to the ropes, Wolf delivered a tilt-a-whirl slam. Wolf then positioned himself in the corner and tried to punt Morrison's head, but Morrison avoided the kick and popped up, kicking Wolf in the back of the head. He then hit a jumping forearm with Wolf in the corner. After whipping Wolf to the other side, Morrison slammed into him with a clothesline before delivering a very nice breakdance style legdrop. Morrison made the cover, but Wolf kicked out at 2. Both men got to their feet and Morrison charged, but Wolf backdropped him over the top rope and to the floor. Wolf followed him out and after ramming him into the steel post, Wolf grabbed a nearby extension cord from one of the cameras at ringside. Referee Mike Enos warned Wolf not to use it, but he began choking Morrison with it anyway. With no choice, Enos called for the bell, disqualifying Wolf.

Match Time: 5:34

HTM: "That serves him right! He's been disqualified"!

Cole: "Chaos Wolf has gone into some sort of a craze here.... look out"!

With Morrison tied to the steel ring post by the cord, Wolf grabbed a steel chair and smashed Morrison right across the face with it!

Cole: "My God! He may have just ended the career of John Morrison"!

HTM: "That may've been one of the nastiest things I've ever seen in professional wrestling and Chaos Wolf is gonna have hell to pay for it"!

"REMEMBER THE NAME" HIT AGAIN AND WOLF RAISED THE CHAIR BEFORE GRABBING HIS TITLE BELT AS THE CROWD CHEERED. MEANWHILE, MIKE ENOS TRIED TO HELP MORRISON GET OFF THE POST.

Cole: "Well it got him disqualified tonight, but it will be fair game at WrestleMania! And speaking of WrestleMania, Honky Tonk Man, in addition to a slew of huge matches, we also have the Hall of Fame which has become a great tradition. We already know that Bret Hart, Trish Stratus and Jeff Jarrett will gain entry this year, but we have one more inductee.... take a look".

TWF Hall of Fame Class of 2008 Inductee- Joe "Animal" Laurinitis

Animal was of course one half of what is widely considered the greatest tag team in wrestling history, the Road Warriors. Animal began his first stint in the TWF with his partner Hawk but that run was cut short by the tragic death of Hawk. After a brief layoff, Animal decided he wanted one more run in the wrestling business, and came back to form the New Road Warriors along with Heidenreich. With Heidenreich, Animal became one half of the TWF Tag Team champions, dedicating the victory to his late tag team partner, who is also a member of the TWF Hall of Fame. Animal retired from the ring in 2006 but there is no question that we are ecstatic to have him enshrined into the TWF Hall of Fame.

WHEN THE ACTION RETURNS LIVE, "NO LEAF CLOVER" BY METALLICA IS PLAYING AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH MONICA. IN THE RING IS HARRY SMITH, WHO IS GETTING LOOSE.

Cole: "Animal will be a welcome edition to the Hall of Fame, one of the best tag team wrestlers of all time".

HTM: "You won't hear any arguments from me. The Road Warriors, Legion of Doom, whatever you want to call them, were the best team in the history of this industry".

Cole: "Well here comes Eddie Saint James to face Harry Smith and look, Johnny Hazard is nowhere to be seen. Well, at least the Johnny Hazard that The Saint has been parading out here isn't".

HTM: "I talked to both Eddie and Monica before the show and they told me they are ready for anything. They're not gonna be surprised by Johnny Hazard tonight".

Cole: "Well I think we were all taken back after seeing that fire poker fall into the ring last week".

Harry Smith vs. Eddie Saint James w/ Monica

The two men locked up at the sound of the bell and the more powerful Harry Smith backed The Saint into the corner with ease. Tied up, referee Charles Robinson stepped in to get a break. Smith broke cleanly, but The Saint nailed him with a right hand before dropping him with a clothesline. From there, Saint James lifted Smith up and delivered a slingshot suplex followed by a big legdrop. The Saint went for the cover, but Smith was up at 2. Saint James got Smith to a seated position and locked in a reverse chin lock. After about 30 seconds in the hold, Smith drew off the cheers from the crowd and got to his feet, driving several elbows into the midsection of The Saint. He then ran the ropes but Monica grabbed his right foot, nearly tripping him up. Smith turned and had some words with Monica, but The Saint ran at him from behind. Smith turned just in time to see him, backdropping him over the top rope and to the floor. Monica quickly helped The Saint to his feet and he grabbed the feet of Smith, tripping him up. He then pulled Smith over to the corner and slammed his right leg into the steel ring post 3 times. Finally, Robinson threatened to disqualify him if he did it again. Saint James came into the ring and pulled Smith to his feet. He tried to whip him to the corner but Smith reversed it and ran in. The Saint tried to sling over him but Smith caught him on his shoulder. He was ready to deliver the running bulldog powerslam, but his right knee seemed to give out. As he grabbed it in pain, The Saint caught him with a running knee to the back of the head that seemingly knocked him out. From there, The Saint hoisted Smith up and delivered the "Death to Humanity" to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:39

Cole: "A very big win here for Eddie Saint James against a game Harry Smith, and I gotta........

SUDDENLY, THE PRIMETRON STARTS TO FLASH FROM A BLACK SCREEN TO A BLINDING LIGHT.

HTM: "What the........

Cole: "Is The Undertaker coming back out"?

A VERY DISTURBING VIDEO CLIP RUNS ON THE SCREEN, SHOWING A DARK FIGURE WALKING WITH A SHOVEL IN HAND. A HOSPITAL ROOM IS SHOWN, SPLICED INTO THE SHOT OF THE SHOVEL. FINALLY, RAIN FALLS ONTO A MUDDY SCENE WHEN SUDDENLY, A HOCKEY MASK RISES UP FROM THE MURKY MUD AS LIGHTNING STRIKES. THEN, A CHILLING VOICE COMES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA STAND IN THE RING, CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER.

Voice: "Eddie........ I will see you in Houston".

THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A HECKLING LAUGH AS MONICA LOOKS AT THE SAINT, SOMEWHAT STARTLED.

Cole: "Oh.....my.....God".

HTM: "If I'm Eddie Saint James, I'm staying far away from Houston"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCAL FOR VERIZON WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DIGIORNO PIZZA.

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

WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHORUS OF BOOS. HE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND LOOKS VERY FOCUSED.

Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime and here comes the Universal champion Edge"!

HTM: "Not just the Universal champion, but the man who will main event WrestleMania"!

Cole: "Edge has got a microphone, but he better make this quick, we've got a champion versus champion match comin' up"!

Edge: "Before we have this little match, if you want to call it that, I prefer to call it a dismantling, I'd like to invite my opponent for WrestleMania... Joe Corey, to the ring. And, Joe, let's see if you can come out here by yourself, please".

Cole: "Is Corey gonna come out here.... we've got a match to get to"!

THE CROWD BOOS AS JOE COREY MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK WITH PAUL HEYMAN.

Edge: "Thank you, don't play that crappy music he comes out to. Oh look, there's Paul Heyman, I knew you couldn't come out here by yourself".

COREY GOES OVER AND GRABS ANOTHER MICROPHONE BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING.

Joe Corey: "It's funny that you called me out here, because I was gonna come out anyway. I have to "scout" my opponent, ya know"?

Edge: "Ya sure about that? Ya sure you didn't want to come out here with all your ECW buddies and try to jump me? After all, that is what you're known for. Ya know, I.......

Corey: "You should just shut your mouth! Because no matter what I'm known for now, I'm gonna be known as the guy who took your title in the middle of the ring at WrestleMania! I'm gonna be known as the greatest Universal champion of all time! Because in case you haven't noticed, other than the match in which you cost me my ECW World title, no one can even remember the last time I got beat and it......

Edge: "Oh it will, it will happen at WrestleMania! See, I do things on my own! I don't need a band of punks or an agent like that jackass out there to do my bidding! Fact is, Corey, you can't beat me, and you know it! It's burning a hole in you and at WrestleMania, it will consume you"!

Corey: "That's where you're wrong, Edge. Bobby Lashley, Johnny Hazard, Jordan Rockwell, Nemesis, Rob Van Dam..... that list sound familiar? Those are all guys who I have beaten, with ease in most cases, since I became the figurehead of ECW! You sure you won't be added to that list"?

Edge: "I have a little champion versus champion match to get to here, so why don't you take a seat out there and watch it, then you can answer that question for yourself".

COREY DROPS THE MIC AND LEAVES THE RING AS "OOOOOH CHAVO" IS HEARD AND AND CHAVO GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER WITH THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Cole: "Strong words there from Edge and Joe Corey, but can you imagine what a win here for Chavo Guerrero would do to that match"?

HTM: "No chance that happens, Michael. I have a lot of respect for Joe Corey, but he is going into WrestleMania the challenger, so I hope he makes a good mental note here".

Non-Title/Champion vs. Champion

Lightheavyeight champion: Chavo Guerrero vs. Universal Champion: Edge

Right as Chavo got into the ring, Edge was all over him with right hands to the back of the head and then a big kneelift. Chavo did the best he could to defend himself, as he still had his belt on. After a big DDT, Edge unstrapped the Lightheavyweight title and threw it out of the ring. He then shot Chavo to the corner and came charging in with a kick right to the head. Edge mounted Chavo after he fell to the mat, pounding him with right hands. Finally, referee Mickey Henson moved in and pulled Edge off but the second Chavo got to his feet, Edge kicked him in the abdomen and delivered the Edge-a-Cution. But Edge didn't finish it there. Chavo stumbled to his feet, but was plowed into by Edge's spear and Edge hooked the leg for the emphatic win.

Match Time: 3:34

Cole: "Could that be Joe Corey? A very big statement made here by.... oh look out"!

COREY CAME INTO THE RING AND HE AND EDGE EACH LANDED 2 RIGHT HANDS. EDGE WENT FOR THE SPEAR BUT COREY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. HE THEN GOT EDGE SET UP FOR THE "SHOWSTOPPER", BUT BEFORE HE COULD HOOK BOTH ARMS, EDGE SLIPPED FREE AND GOT OUT OF THE RING, GRABBING HIS TITLE. PAUL HEYMAN WAS LAUGHING AND ENJOYING WHAT HE WAS SEEING.

HTM: "This one is gonna be good, Michael. Two men at the top of the business, both want to be the best.... I can't wait".

Cole: "Well you won't have to wait much longer. Joe Corey challenges Edge for the Universal title in the main event of WrestleMania 9"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACK, WHERE LENA YADA STANDS WITH DUSTIN KASH.

Lena Yada: "I am here with Dustin Kash, and it is now official that the man standing before me will meet Ric Flair at Wrestlemania with quite a stipulation".

Dustin Kash: "Quite a stipulation? That's what you call it? Cause I call it the biggest damn stipulation not only at this Wrestlemania, but perhaps of every Wrestlemania ever in TWF's glorious history. For arguably this sport's most illustrious superstar will have his career on the line. Do you know what this means? Ric Flair out of the TWF... Ric Flair out of any wrestling ring... its a beautiful thought. What's more beautiful is that as the news of Flair's career being over becomes common knowledge, so will the notion that Dustin Kash IS the future of the TWF. Wherever you see Ric Flair's face; in the Hall of Fame, old wrestling tapes, wherever it is... you'll think of me. Because although that mutt has had a good run, I think it's finally time to put him out of his misery, and allow him to pass the torch whether its willfully or not. So while the entire wrestling world stands in awe at the image of Ric Flair being beat out of his career, don't think of Naitch, think of me, the next generation.. Dustin Kash".

KASH WALKS AWAY AND LENA LOOKS ON.

Cole: "And speaking of WrestleMania, it has just become official.......

A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE WRESTLEMANIA 9 LOGO POPS UP WITH KEVIN THORN AND ARIEL ON ONE SIDE AND THE UNDERTAKER ON THE OTHER.

The Undertaker will make his return to the TWF against Kevin Thorn! Wow, that's gonna be huge, but right now, the President of the UFC, Dana White, is in the ring".

HTM: "And he's not alone"!

IN THE RING, DANA WHITE IS WITH UFC FIGHTERS RICH FRANKLIN, FORREST GRIFFIN, AND CURRENT LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION QUINTON "RAMPAGE" JACKSON.

Dana White: "What's up, Raleigh"?!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS

White: "As I'm sure you all know by now, the UFC will play a huge part in this year's WrestleMania! Because for the first time ever, UFC fighters and TWF wrestlers will compete in the same arena! But not only that, you guys are in for a huge treat. Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell have had two very hard fought battles in the past, but this coming week on Rampage, they're gonna have a third"!

Cole: "What"?!

White: "That's right, on Rampage, we're gonna set up an octagon and it's gonna be a three round fight between the Huntington Beach Bad Boy and the Iceman"!

Cole: "Wow, that is huge news"!

White: "But I'd also like to talk about........

JUST THEN, "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT ALONG WIH STEPHANIE McMAHON TO SOME VERY SERIOUS BOOS.

Cole: "Now there's a buzzkill"!

HTM: "Look at this.... for the first time ever on PrimeTime, it's Money Mike and Stephanie McMahon! Does she look hot or what"?!

MONEY MIKE AND STEPHANIE GET INTO THE RING AND MIKE GETS A MICROPHONE.

Money Mike: "Ya know, it's funny, Dana, that you come out here with these UFC guys, but there's not a damn thing they can do physically. Remember the contract you signed with this company... these guys are never to lay their hands on us".

White: "And that has been followed but at WrestleMania, that contract clause it's out the window for our match".

Money Mike: "And that's fine. But I feel that if I am risking my physical well-being by getting into that ring, then you should be risking something too".

White: "Uh... what'd ya have in mind"?

Money Mike: "I had something very big in mind.... you know me, I don't play kid's games".

White: "Okay, so get down to it! Don't think for one second that you're gonna come out here and intimidate me"!

Money Mike: "Fine! Then at WrestleMania, here's the deal! If me and Tito win the match..... then I become the new President of the UFC"!

Cole: "He can't be serious".

White: "Are you kidding? You really think I'd put that on the line"?

STEPHANIE GRABS THE MICROPHONE.

Stephanie McMahon: "Ya know, Dana, we had a feeling you'd say that. But for a guy who acts like he's one of the most powerful men in the world, you sure are a little bitch"!

HTM: "Wow".

White: "Oh really? Gee, Steph, or should I say Steve since I'm staring at an Adam's Apple?

STEPH GRABS HER THROAT AND IS VERY ANGRY AS THE CROWD HECKLES HER.

You two are on! Like I said, you're not gonna come out here and intimidate me! I hsve confidence in my guys..... we got this"!

JUST THEN, MONEY MIKE GRABS WHITE BY THE COLLAR. RAMPAGE JACKSON STEPS UP, BUT IS REMINDED HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BY FRANKLIN. MIKE TAKES WHITE AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER, BUT THE CROWD GOES NUTS WHEN JOHN CENA COMES RUNNING OUT. STEPH GETS OUT OF THE RING AS MIKE TURNS RIGHT INTO AN "F-U". MIKE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS THE CROWD CHEERS AND "MY TIME IS NOW" HITS. CENA CHECKS ON WHITE BEFORE SLAPPING HANDS WITH JACKSON, FRANKLIN AND GRIFFIN.

Cole: "What a save by John Cena! Who knows what Money Mike had planned for the UFC President"!

HTM: "Well that's gonna be former President after WrestleMania! I can't believe Dana White agreed to that"!

Cole: "We'll be right back with our six man main event"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 9, NOW PROMOTING THE UNDERTAKER VS. KEVIN THORN.

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

Cole: "Fans, we are back on PrimeTime and I guess we are ready for our main event, but you are not gonna believe what happened during the break.... take a look"!

HTM: "I'm waiting for someone to call the cops"!

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM DURING THE BREAK. JBL, PJ CASH AND DUSTIN KASH HAD ALREADY COME OUT. SHAWN MICHAELS AND RIC FLAIR WERE OUTSIDE THE RING, TAUNTING JBL AND DUSTIN KASH AS REFEREE MIKE CHIODA LOOKED ON. PJ CASH WAS LEANED UP AGAINST THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL CAME OUT OF THE CROWD CARRYING A CATTLE PROD AND HE JABBED THE ELECTRIC DEVICE INTO THE RIBS OF CASH. CASH CRUMPLED TO THE MAT WHEN ROCKWELL SEPERATED HIS LEGS AND GAVE HIM ANOTHER SHOCK, RIGHT IN THE GROIN! ROCKWELL THEN THREW THE CATTLE PROD UNDER THE ANNOUNCE TABLE BEFORE WALKING AROUND THE RING AND JOINING MICHAELS AND FLAIR.

Cole: "I don't know how PJ Cash is gonna be able to compete here, but nobody saw that"!

HTM: "Call the police..... I'm holding the evidence"!

6 Man Tag Team Match

Jordan Rockwell, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair vs. JBL, PJ Cash and Dustin Kash

The match started and JBL and Dustin Kash tried to figure out what happened to PJ, but meanwhile, it became a handicap match. Shawn Michaels got into the ring with JBL and used his quickness to take on the big man. After a kick to the gut, Michaels hit a swinging neckbreaker after running the ropes. Michaels tagged in Ric Flair, who dropped a big knee on JBL. Flair made the cover, but JBL was up at 2. Flair pulled him up, but JBL raked the eyes and made the tag to Dustin Kash. Kash wanted to get in there with Flair, and after several hard forearms, he kicked Flair right in the side of the head. Kash pulled him to the center of the ring and he and JBL took turns taking it to the Nature Boy. JBL dropped two huge elbows on Flair before pulling him up and lifting him to the top rope. JBL then climbed up with him to deliver a huge superplex that shook the ring. Flair was in a ton of pain as JBL crawled over and covered him, but Rockwell came in to make the save by stomping on JBL's head. So enraged over that, JBL allowed Flair to make the tag to Rockwell, and JBL yelled "Let's go"! JBL and Rockwell began trading punches and the fans were on their feet. Finally, Rockwell reversed an irish whip and delivered a huge spinebuster. Rockwell was setting up for "Extreme Measures" when Dustin Kash came off the top rope with an elbow to the back of his head. Flair came into the ring with a clothesline that took both he and Kash over the top rope. JBL saw Rockwell down and ran the ropes, looking for the "Clothesline from Hell" but PJ Cash was up and slapped JBL's shoulder to tag himself in. Meanwhile, Michaels came into the ring and nailed an unsuspecting JBL with the "Sweet Chin Music" which knocked him through the ropes and to the floor. Michaels then vaulted over the top rope, right onto JBL. Chioda's attention was on the two fights on the floor, but PJ Cash had crawled into the ring after reaching into his tights. He had a dark cloth in his hand, and he jumped on the shoulders of Rockwell, placing it over his mouth and nose! Rockwell struggled, trying to get him off, but he quickly went down to his knees and then flat on his face. Cash tucked the cloth back into his tights before locking in a single leg crab on Rockwell. Chioda saw this and tried to get a response from Rockwell, but he was out. Chioda called for the bell, awarding the match to Cash and company!
