Knowing that Foul Play was the next show on the TWF schedule, fans in the New Jersey area were rockin' as the stars of PrimeTime came to town for a huge show.
Vladimir Kozlov vs. Ron Waterman (invitee) Vladimir Kozlov made his in-ring debut to start the night but he had a tough test standing in front of him in Ron Waterman, a man who at one time was under developmental contract for the TWF. But he was no match for the Russian Sambo champion. Kozlov showed off an impressive erray of moves including a belly to belly throw and a stiff push kick to the chest. Waterman was able to duck a clothesline later in the match, but after he hit the ropes on the other side, Kozlov drove his head right into his sternum! Waterman appeared to have the wind knocked out of him and Kozlov covered him for the 3 count. He showed little emotion after picking up his first career victory. Chavo Guerrero and Turrican vs. Kenny Doane and Gregory Helms w/ Talia This tag team match involving 4 lightheavyweights provided some non-stop action. The crowd loved the antics of Turrican, who combined some incredible manuevers with some ridiculous dancing. But most of the crowd mimicked him anyway. After catching Chavo with a shining wizard, Helms got up and drilled Turrican with a cheap shot, knocking him to the floor. Doane made the tag and came into the ring, softening the Lightheavyweight champion up. Doane scored with an excellent standing dropkick and was looking to go to the top rope, but Helms had another idea. He asked Doane to put Chavo up on his shoulders and it looked like they were going to go for some sort of Doomsday Device. But as Helms went to the top rope, Turrican came over and pushed him off. Chavo then came up with a victory roll to pin Doane and win the match. Carney and Super Crazy vs. The Highlanders The makeshift team of Carney and Super Crazy turned out to be one that dazzled the crowd, a crowd that was very much against the Highlanders. Crazy and Carney used their high flying abilities to put Rory and Robbie on the ropes. After a double missing dropkick on Rory, Super Crazy went to the top rope again, looking for his moonsault but Robbie came into the ring and pulled his partner out of the way. As Crazy slammed to the mat, Robbie caught Carney with a clothesline before he and Rory got Crazy up for the "Scot Drop" and Rory covered him for the 1.......2........3. THE HIGHLANDERS WERE BOOED AS THEY LEFT THE RING BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND AS THEY WERE VICTORIOUS. THE RING CREW WAS OUT CHANGING THE APRON AND THE RING ROPES, IN PREPARATION FOR PRIMETIME. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE AFTER THE FOX LOGO FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN, "LIGHT IT UP" BY REV THEORY STARTS TO PLAY AND A HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE FROM WRESTLEMANIA 9 BEGINS TO ROLL. IT STARTS BY SHOWING JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHAWN MICHAELS RETAINING THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES BEFORE SHOWING RIC FLAIR's EMOTIONAL WIN. FINALLY, EDGE IS SHOWN WINNING THE MAIN EVENT AND HIS CELEBRATION THAT FOLLOWED. FIREWORKS LACE THE SOVEREIGN BANK ARENA AS CAMERAS INSIDE SHOW THOUSANDS OF YELLING, EXCITED TWF FANS. Michael Cole: "We are live in Trenton, New Jersey and with Foul Play just around the corner, we've got a ton of action to get to"! Honky Tonk Man: "WrestleMania is behind us and we are ready to jump into another huge event and as we know, this year's Foul Play is going to be much different than the ones in the past"! Cole: "Every match at Foul Play will be contested under unique stipulations but right now, we are going to send it to the boss, who has a huge announcement"! THE SHOT GOES TO THE OFFICE OF SHANE McMAHON WHO IS SITTING AT HIS DESK. Shane McMahon: "Hello, and thank you for tuning in to TWF PrimeTime. As you know, Foul Play is our next event and in fact, our very next show. So, I have set up an Extreme Elimination Chamber match to determine a new number one contender for the Universal title. Six men will enter the chamber, and each pod will contain a weapon that can be introduced into the match once that pod opens. Stay tuned, because by the end of this broadcast, I will tell you who will be the six superstars in the match. Thank you". THE SHOT FADES OUT TO GO TO BREAK.......... COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... A COMMERCIAL FOR MILLER LITE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "THE INCREDIBLE HULK". RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, GANGREL's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING. HE TAKES A SIP FROM A GOBLET, PRESUMABLY OF BLOOD, BEFORE LAUGHING AND REMOVE HIS DARK SHADES. Cole: "This arena is still buzzing over the announcement Shane McMahon just made and what an announcement it was". HTM: "Well, Foul Play just got a lot more interesting and I can't wait to see who is gonna be in that chamber match"! "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A PRETTY BIG CHEER. HE HAS A FIRE POKER IN HIS HAND, WHICH HE RAISES IN THE AIR. Cole: "Well look at this. We saw the return of this man at WrestleMania, and who would've thought we'd ever see that hockey mask again"? HTM: "Well I know Eddie Saint James thought he was a thing of the past, but he's back and ready to bring pain to PrimeTime once again". Cole: "Gangrel has a big smile on his face, but staring at that hockey mask, I can't figure out why"! Gangrel vs. Nails Both men came out swinging, rocking each other with right hands. Nails quickly got the best of this and then he punched Gangrel right in the throat. Gangrel was experiencing difficulties the rest of the match, and the heartless Nails took over. After 2 hard kneelifts, he hit the ropes and drilled Gangrel with a clothesline. Nails was looking like his old self as he picked Gangrel up and just dropped him throat first over the top rope before kicking him right in the face. Gangrel got in a kick to the abdomen before hitting Nails with a right hand. But he shook his hand after connecting with the hockey mask. Nails followed up with a headbutt before picking Gangrel up for an Evenflow DDT. Gangrel was seeing stars as Nails continued the punishment, mounting him and pounding him with a flurry of right hands before ramming the back of Gangrel's head into the mat multiple times. Referee Mike Enos actually threatened a disqualification before Nails pulled Gangrel up and got him up for the "Nail Driver", driving his head into the mat before covering him for the easy 3 count. Match Time: 7:06 Cole: "Wow.... that's all I can say about that. Nails just dominated Gangrel". HTM: "Well if he was looking to impress the boss to get into that chamber match, he may've just done it"! "LEFT BEHIND" PLAYED AGAIN AS NAILS LEFT THE RING AND SLOWLY WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH HIS HEAD DOWN. HE THEN WENT AND GRABBED HIS FIRE POKER AND WAS ABOUT TO GET BACK IN THE RING, BUT ENOS STOPPED HIM. Cole: "Whoa..... this could get ugly"! HTM: "What the heck is wrong with this guy"?! AFTER HEARING THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD, NAILS TURNED TO LEAVE WITH THE WEAPON STILL IN HAND. Cole: "Nails has always had a bit of a screw loose but fortunately for Gangrel, he decided not to go any further tonight". BACKSTAGE AREA........... The shot shifts backstage where Lena Yada is standing by with Jordan Rockwell who is in his street clothes with a vintage Kid Gundam mask t-shirt and noticeably a bandage on his right arm and the fans cheer while he carries his half of the TWF Tag Team titles.
Lena Yada: "Jordan, at WrestleMania, you along with your tag team partner Shawn Michaels retained the TWF tag team titles against JBL and PJ Cash, your thoughts".
Jordan Rockwell: "My thoughts, Lena, are that first off, once again I proved that I am better than that J.R. Ewing wannabe JBL is and for two, Shawn and I showed why we are the TWF tag team champions".
Lena: "By the way, where is Shawn Michaels"?
Rockwell: "Don't worry about that, Lena, cause Shawn is off taking care of some business and he will be seen shortly, but back to Cash and Layfield..... I hope you two learned your lesson at WrestleMania cause if not, HBK and I will be more than happy to teach that lesson to you one more time...... tonight".
Lena: "Also, can you update us on what exactly is the status of your right arm after the beating it took during your match"?
Hearing the question, Rockwell slowly and apparently painfully takes his shirt off, revealing a long bandage that is taped from his right bicep to his elbow.
Rockwell: "What you all see here is a strained bicep and what you also see is me right here tonight, injured and ready to work, why? Because that is the type of man I am and that is the type of wrestler I am cause even thou I am obviously hurt, I am still here ready to get into the ring and go. So to anyone out there who wants to come my way, I got your bullseye right here in plain sight, all you gotta do is make a move and see exactly how much luck you have cause injured or not, don't forget who you're dealing with"!
Lena: "Lastly, we now know that at Foul Play, it will be yourself and Shawn Michaels taking on the Hardy's in a TLC match. What are you thinking going into this match, especially going into it injured"?
Rockwell: "Fact is, Lena, at Foul Play, four of the greatest ever will be going at it in a match that all of us are masters at and the chances of getting hurt in this match are great, just like at WrestleMania or any other match, and yeah I am walking into this thing at less than perfect health, but trust me when I tell you that will make no difference what so ever, cause I will still show up ready to go, and bottom line, Matt and Jeff, we've been friends for a long time, but at Foul Play, the friendship will be put aside, cause when that bell rings........ it's on".
Rockwell walks off with his shirt and title and the camera follows him. the fans in the arena all let out a HUGE "Wooooooo" as Ric Flair enters the shot and he and Flair embrace.
Ric Flair: "How's that arm"?
Rockwell: "Ehh, I'll live and listen, I wanna let you know I am glad and thankful you won at 'Mania, cause no way things would be the same if you weren't around, Naitch".
Flair: "They'd be the same, but thank you".
Rockwell: "Hey, can you spare a minute or two? I have something to show you".
Flair: "Absolutely".
Rockwell takes Flair to his dressing room and opens the door to reveal Shawn Michaels and most of the PrimeTime locker room. As everyone in the room begins to applaud, Flair is noticeably getting emotional as they walk in and the door shuts behind them. BACK TO THE RING, "VOICES" BY REV THEORY STARTS UP AND RANDY ORTON WALKS OUT VERY ARROGANTLY FROM THE BACK AS THE CROWD BEGINS TO BOO. Cole: "A very nice gesture there by some of the superstars, showing their respect for Ric Flair, who made it out of WrestleMania with his career intact". HTM: "That he did, and I guess the guy will wrestle forever! He'll probably die in that ring"! Cole: "I hope you don't mean that literally, but here comes Randy Orton, who would love to make a big impression on Shane McMahon tonight with that huge Elimination Chamber match looming". HTM: "Randy Orton is a former multiple time Universal champion. He should be given a free pass into that chamber". "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STARTS UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. Cole: "Well this man is not going to give him a free pass! After losing the ECW World title at WrestleMania, no one in the TWF may be hungrier to get back in the win column than Chaos Wolf". HTM: "Chaos Wolf took a beating in that match with Sylvester Terkay, I'm surprised he can even make it out here tonight, Michael". Randy Orton vs. Chaos Wolf The bell sounded and both men walked up to each other, getting nose to nose as they exhanged verbally. Finally, Orton slapped Wolf across the face, but Wolf got an almost psychotic look in his eyes before grabbing Orton by the throat with both hands. After pushing him to the corner, Wolf struck him with several wild right hands. Orton went to the mat, trying to defend himself as Wolf kept firing at him with punches. Finally, Orton rolled out of the ring but Wolf followed him. Orton moved out of the way of a diving Wolf before kicking him right in the chest. Orton then backed up a few steps but Wolf charged him, tackling him to the floor! The fans were very into it by this point as the two men were rolling on the floor, exchanging punches and even a few kicks. Referee Mickey Henson had totally lost control of the match and he called for the bell, disqualifying both men. HTM: "What the heck happened"? Cole: "It looks like this one has been thrown out.... these two are at each other's throats"! A FEW OTHER OFFICIALS AND REFEREES HURRIED DOWN TO THE RING AND PULLED THE TWO MEN APART. HTM: "Look at Chaos Wolf.... he's lost his mind out here"! Cole: "Plenty of frustration shown on the face of Chaos Wolf.... and he still wants more of Orton". THE OFFICIALS PULLED WOLF TO THE BACK AND HE HAD A WILD LOOK ON HIS FACE. ORTON JUST SMIRKED, CHECKING HIS MOUTH FOR BLOOD AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR SNICKERS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GEICO AUTO INSURANCE. WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "SEXY BOY" COMES ON AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES ON, DANCING HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP WITH HIS HALF OF THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "We are back here on PrimeTime and here comes the Heartbreak Kid for the first of two matches between the champions, and the team they defeated at WrestleMania"! HTM: "Shawn Michaels is having fun and he's soakin' up all the cheers from this crowd, but he better be ready to fight"! THE FANS' CHEERS TURN TO BOOS WHEN JBL's MUSIC PLAYS AND A LONG WHITE LIMOSINE PULLS INTO THE ARENA. THE BACK DOOR OPENS AND HE STEPS OUT WITH HIS COWBOY HAT ON AND A WHITE TOWEL AROUND HIS NECK. HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY. Cole: "JBL was very confident that he had put together a team good enough to become tag team champions, but he and PJ Cash came up just a little short". HTM: "They could've easily won that match and you know it, Cole! JBL is out to prove a point to Shawn Michaels here and show him that he and Jordan Rockwell dodged a bullet"! Cole: "Jordan Rockwell wil face PJ Cash later tonight but right now, it's two of the finest competitors to ever come out of the state of Texas, one on one"! JBL vs. Shawn Michaels After locking up to start the match, JBL pushed Michaels to the corner and swung with a clubbing forearm but Michaels quickly got out of the way and snuck in a few right hands before running the ropes. After ducking a clothesline, Michaels came off the other side and went for a crossbody, but JBL caught him in mid-air and delivered a big fallaway slam. After a hard vertical suplex, JBL dropped a big elbow and made the cover, but Michaels was up at 2. JBL pulled him to his feet and dropped him with a heavy right hand before pulling him up again. He slung Michaels to the corner with authority before moving in and lifting him to the top rope. JBL climbed up with him, perhaps looking for a superplex, but Michaels shoved him to the mat and then came off with a beautiful elbow drop. Michaels popped up to his feet and the crowd was rockin'. After running the ropes, Michaels delivered a big flying forearm, knocking JBL into the ropes but when he went for a quick superkick, JBL avoided it and picked him up for a big backdrop suplex. JBL then picked Michaels up and yelled some profanities into the crowd but he took his eye off the ball and Michaels used a small package out of nowhere to steal a 3 count! Match Time: 4:41 HTM: "No way! What the heck happened"?! Cole: "He got him! Shawn Michaels got the three count"! MICHAELS QUICKLY ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND HEADED BACK UP THE RAMP, SLAPPING HANDS WITH SOME OF THE FANS AS JBL HAD BOTH HANDS ON HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF. HTM: "Well I'll be damned! That came out of nowhere"! Cole: "As it usually does with Shawn Michaels, and you can see the frustration about to boil out of JBL"! BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW ARENA SECURITY WALKING DOWN A HALLWAY WITH SHANE McMAHON. ONE OF THE SECURITY GUARDS PUSHES OPEN THE DOOR TO THE DRESSING ROOM OF EDDIE SAINT JAMES, WHICH HAS BEEN RANSACKED. Shane McMahon: "Uh.... what the hell is this? I'm sorry, I'll get someone to take care of it". SHANE WALKS AWAY, AND HE IS CLEARLY NOT HAPPY. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND THE FANS LET OUT A HUGE POP WHEN "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK STEPS OUT. Cole: "That was the dressing room of Eddie Saint James, right? No wonder why Shane is so upset, someone's gonna have to cover the damages"! HTM: "Whoa watch out, there's Umaga"! BEFORE PUNK COULD REACH THE RING, HE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY UMAGA, HE PUSHED HIM RIGHT INTO THE STEEL RING POST. AFTER PULLING PUNK UP AND WHIPPING HIM RIGHT INTO THE RING STEPS, UMAGA PICKED HIM UP AGAIN AND DELIVERED THE "SAMOAN SPIKE", PUTTING PUNK DOWN ONCE AGAIN. THE CROWD BOOED AS UMAGA's SAMOAN TUNE KICKED UP AND HE LEFT WITH PUNK LYING IN PLENTY OF PAIN. Cole: "Well we were scheduled to have a match between Umaga and CM Punk, but Umaga has disected Punk out here and he's in no shape to compete"! HTM: "Well I hope Shane-O-Mac saw that, because if I was making the decisions, something like that would make me want to put a guy in that Extreme Elimination Chamber"! Cole: "Lot's of action still to come, so don't go away! Up next, Jordan Rockwell will go one on one with the young, rich PJ Cash"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR VOLKSWAGEN IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR KOHL's STORES. "EX's AND OH's" BY ATREYU PLAYS WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS AND PJ CASH COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS. Cole: "We are back live on PrimeTime here on FOX and here comes PJ Cash, who along with JBL, came within an eyelash of winning the tag team titles at WrestleMania"! HTM: "Well he's gotta put all of that behind him tonight, because this is the single biggest match in his young TWF career to this point". THE FANS GO NUTS WHEN "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WEARING HIS HALF OF THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES. AS SHOWN IN HIS EARLIER INTERVIEW, HIS SHOULDER IS HEAVILY BANDAGED. Cole: "We already saw Shawn Michaels defeat JBL earlier tonight, but you have to wonder how Jordan Rockwell's injured shoulder is going to effect him here tonight". HTM: "Well PJ Cash is no idiot. He sees that target right on Rockwell's shoulder"! PJ Cash vs. Jordan Rockwell This turned into the best match of the night, and it was hotly contested throughout. After locking up, Rockwell was able to get Cash into the corner but when referee Charles Robinson moved in to ask for a break, he caught a thumb to the eye. Cash then grabbed the right arm and yanked at it twice before twisting it over. Rockwell jabbed Cash with a left hand, but Cash responded with a kick to the knee before catching Rockwell with a swinging neckbreaker. After pulling the arm out at Rockwell's side, Cash drove a knee into the right shoulder twice, and The Franchise was in a lot of pain. Cash hit the ropes as he sat up and took him out with a basement dropkick, but a cover only got him a 2 count. After pulling Rockwell up, Cash ran the ropes but Rockwell took him out with a clothesline. But that didn't do him much good, because even that hurt his arm. Rockwell pulled Cash up and shot him to the corner, but he had essentially become a one armed man and as he slowly ran in, Cash stuck his right foot in his face. He followed that with a big cactus clothesline. He again went for the cover, but Rockwell was up at 2 and a half. Cash pulled him to his feet and set him up for a perfect standing dropkick before going to the top rope. He took his time getting up there and taunted the crowd before coming off with a rounding splash. The move may have ended the match, but Rockwell got his knees up right in his chest. A huge roar came from the crowd as Rockwell got to his feet. After several kicks to the abdomen, he went for the "Extreme Measures", but Cash had it scouted and pushed him away. After a kick to the back of the knee, Cash ran the ropes but Rockwell scored with a nice spinebuster. He fell into a cover and Robinson got the 1...........2.........., but Cash was up. Rockwell got Cash up and delivered a swinging sideslam, a move known as Scarlet Fever. Rockwell again went into a cover, but he was unable to hook a leg and again, Cash kicked out just in time. Both men got to their feet and Cash beat Rockwell to the punch before raking his hand across his face. But Rockwell came back with a drop toehold, right into his STF known as the Painkiller. Cash was in an incredible amount of trouble, stuck in the center of the ring. But he fought the pain and Rockwell had to let go as too much pressure was being put on his shoulder. Rockwell got up holding his right shoulder and Cash got up and delivered a perfect armbar DDT. From there, he again went to the top rope, waiting for Rockwell to get his feet. Once he was up, he flew off with a double axe handle but Rockwell saw him coming and took a step back, kicking him in the gut. That led to the Extreme Measures and even though it shot more pain through the shoulder to perform his trademark hold, Rockwell was able to get down and wrap Cash up for the 3 count! Match Time: 8:21 Cole: "And there it is! A clean sweep for the tag champs tonight"! HTM: "Well Rockwell better be thanking his lucky stars! That match could've easily gone either way"! "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYED AGAIN AS ROCKWELL WAS GIVEN HIS TAG TEAM TITLE BELT. HE HELD IT UP AND ABSORBED THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD, BUT HE WAS CLEARLY IN A LOT OF PAIN. Cole: "PJ Cash definitely gave him all he wanted, but Rockwell found a way to win and you get the feeling that he and the Heartbreak Kid may've just rid themselves of the so-called Million Dollar Duo"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE......... SHANE McMAHON COMES TO HIS OFFICE TO FIND EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA SITTING AT HIS DESK. THE SAINT HAS HIS FEET UP ON IT AND BOTH HE AND MONICA HAVE HELPED THEMSELVES TO THE CATERING. Shane McMahon: "What the hell is this"? Monica: "Did you get my email"? Shane: "Yes, I got your email and I listened to all of your concerns. But do you two really think that destroying a dressing room is going to get you what you want"? Monica: "Eddie and I are tired of being looked over. I sent you a list of his accomplishments.... it can't be ignored. Then, at WrestleMania, he doesn't have a match, but we end up getting attacked by Nails, who shouldn't even be in this company anymore". Shane: "I'm sorry, Eddie, I didn't realize Monica was your spokesperson". THE SAINT TAKES HIS FEET OFF THE DESK AND GETS UP. Eddie Saint James: "I really don't think you want a war with us, Shane. We have shown in the past what we do with people who cross us". Shane: "What, is that supposed to be some sort of threat?! Save it! Tell ya what, I've decided to give you a spot in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but you both need to realize that I run this show and I run it the way I see fit! So my advice to you, Saint, is to make the most of your oppurtunity. Oh, and as of this minute, I want you both out of the building"! A FEW MEMBERS OF SECURITY MOVE IN, READY TO ESCORT EDDIE AND MONICA OUT. MONICA STOPS AND GETS RIGHT IN SHANE's FACE. Monica: "Oh, he'll make the most of it and there won't be any way that you can ignore us again". THE SAINT AND MONICA LEAVE THE OFFICE, WITH SECURITY FOLLOWING. A BACKSTAGE CAMERA SHOWS A CONVERSATION TAKING PLACE BETWEEN WILLIAM REGAL, PAUL BURCHILL AND HARRY SMITH. IT CAN'T BE HEARD WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT REGAL AND BURCHILL SEEM TO BE TRYING TO CONVINCE SMITH OF SOMETHING. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO SHANE's OFFICE AND THE CROWD CHEERS WHEN THEY SEE CHRIS TIRPAK STANDING INSIDE, HOLDING THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE. HE AND SHANE ARE TALKING WHEN EDGE COMES IN WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Edge: "I got the message, what'd ya want to see me about"? Shane: "Well, you know that Foul Play is coming up and we need to have a Universal title match". Edge: "Right........... SHANE LOOKS OVER AT TIRPAK. Edge: "Him? Oh you gotta be kidding. Did he cash in the briefcase". Shane: "Well that's what you would think, but no, he didn't. And he doesn't have to. I have decided to give Tirpak a shot at the title while still holding on to the WrestleMania Jackpot. So, at Foul Play, he will be challenging you in a steel cage match". TIRPAK GETS A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE. Edge: "Fine.... that's fine! And you better wipe that stupid smile off your face because if you don't watch it, when I'm done with you, you might not ever be able to use that jackpot". EDGE LEAVES THE OFFICE AS TIRPAK LOOKS ON BEFORE SHAKING HANDS WITH SHANE. Cole: "That is huge news but we might even be able to top it! Honky, did you see Rampage the other night"? HTM: "I sure did". Cole: "Well for the folks that may've missed it, take a look at this"! RAMPAGE RE-WIND Vince McMahon: "Melina, earlier tonight, you decided to shoot your mouth off to some of your fellow divas and tell them how you felt about my daughter Stephanie. Those divas that you told that to, came to talk to me and let me tell you.... they were quite concerned. Did anyone ever mention to you that Stephanie McMahon is daddy's little girl? Well, my daughter was embarrassed and humiliated to the fullest extent at WrestleMania, and these divas who came to talk to me earlier tonight told me they feel you should be embarassed as well! So, here's what we're gonna do. Right here in this ring, you are going to strip down to your bra and panties and I am going to find the fattest, most out of shape slob in this Houston audience to come in here and receive a lap dance from you! So let's hop to it! Oh, and if you refuse to do any of this, I'll fire you right on the spot"!
J.R.: "What the hell is going on here?! Vince can't treat this young lady this way"!
MELINA REMOVES HER TOP AND STARTS TO DROP HER SKIRT WHEN A SPANISH TUNE HITS AND LA PARKA MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, HOLDING A STEEL CHAIR.
J.R.: "What the..... it's La Parka. It was La Parka who won the special invitation battle royale at WrestleMania, but what is he doing here"?
Lawler: "Well, La Parka has always called himself the chairman of wrestling, but he's about to get into the ring with the man who really is"!
LA PARKA COMES INTO THE RING AND WHISPERS SOMETHING INTO THE EAR OF MELINA.
Vince: "What the hell is this"?
Melina: "Um, Mr. McMahon, La Parka has just told me that he has a contract to face you in a match at Foul Play in a match of his choosing".
Vince: "Are you serious? This freak in the skeletor costume wants to take me on?! Listen, I might be getting up there in age, but I'll kick his ass! You tell him that in Spanish or Mexican or whatever you have to do"!
MELINA WHISPERS SOMETHING TO LA PARKA, AND HE JUST NODS HIS HEAD BEFORE STARTING TO LEAVE.
Vince: "Yeah, you better go train buddy! You better go down to Guadalajara or Chihauhau or wherever you have to.............
JUST THEN, LA PARKA BLASTS VINCE OVER THE HEAD WITH HIS CHAIR! THE CROWD IS SHOCKED, BUT ALSO CHEERING.
J.R.: "Oh my God! Can you believe that"?!
Lawler: "He's gonna pay for that! How stupid can you be"?!
MELINA CRACKS A HUGE SMILE BEFORE LA PARKA STANDS OVER VINCE AND PULLS HIS MASK OFF. HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO BE NONE OTHER THAN TRAVIS WAKEMAN, AND THE CROWD LET's OUT A TREMENDOUS ROAR!
J.R.: "Look! Look at this, King! I thought I'd seen a ghost for a minute, but it's Travis Wakeman"!
Lawler: "Don't tell me it was him all along! We haven't seen him forever"!
J.R.: "It looks like Wakeman has ended his hiatus..... at the expense of the boss"! A PROMO GRAPHIC FOR FOUL PLAY IS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN WITH VINCE McMAHON ON ONE SIDE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN ON THE OTHER. Cole: "Folks, you aren't gonna believe this, because at Foul Play, Travis Wakeman and Vince McMahon are gonna go one on one..... in Hell in a Cell". HTM: "Well there's a ton of history and a ton of hatred between those two men. It looks like it will finally come to a head at Foul Play. Vince McMahon is someone I have a lot of respect for, but I sure hope he knows what he's getting himself into here". "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET PLAYS AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER. Cole: "It definitely looks like a mismatch on paper, but Travis Wakeman hasn't competed in probably over a year and ya know the chairman will have something up his sleeve but right now, here comes Matt Hardy, ready for action"! PAUL BURCHILL AND WILLIAM REGAL ARE SHOWN STANDING IN THE RING, WAITING FOR HARDY. HTM: "Matt better be ready for a fight! He's taking on one of the toughest guys the UK has to offer, not to mention he's got William Regal in his corner". Cole: "I still wanna know what these two were talking to Harry Smith about. That's all that young kid needs is for these two to corrupt him early in his career". Paul Burchill w/ William Regal vs. Matt Hardy The bell sounded and both men came out swinging. Matt tagged Burchill with some stiff shots before whipping him to the ropes. He grabbed him around the head and shoulder when he came back but Burchill countered with an elbow to the side of the head. After a hard clothesline, Burchill got up and put the boots to Hardy, stomping on his chest and head a few times. Matt was shaken as Burchill locked in a bow and arrow, putting pressure on his lower back. Matt refused to give in and Burchill let go of the hold, but he pulled Matt up and delivered a pendulum backbreaker, dropping him across his knee. Burchill then grabbed the right leg of Hardy and tried to turn him over with a single leg crab. But Matt fought it and used his left leg to kick Burchill in the face before getting to his feet. Matt then blocked a right hand and landed 3 of his own. Burchill threw a clothesline but Matt caught his arm and delivered the Side Effect. He hooked the leg and got the 1..........2........, but Burchill was up. Matt scooped Burchill up and slammed him to the mat before going to the turnbuckle but Regal got on the apron to try and distract referee Marty Elias. Hardy jumped off the turnbuckle and collided with Regal, knocking him to the floor. Burchill came from behind and rolled Hardy up for the 1......2......., but Hardy was up. Both men got to their feet and Burchill kicked Matt in the stomach before going for a DDT. But Matt countered and swung Burchill right into the "Twist of Fate" before covering him for the 3 count. Match Time: 6:30 Cole: "Matt Hardy got him! What a counter that was"! HTM: "Look out, here comes Regal"! FROM BEHIND, REGAL HIT MATT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE BURCHILL GOT UP AND THE TWO MEN STARTED HAMMERING ON HARDY. BUT THE CROWD LOUDLY POPPED WHEN THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, SHAWN MICHAELS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL, RAN OUT TO THE RING. ROCKWELL GOT IN AND DRILLED BURCHILL WITH A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE MICHAELS CAUGHT REGAL WITH A SUPERKICK! THE CROWD WAS CHEERING AS REGAL AND BURCHILL RETREATED WHILE ROCKWELL AND MICHAELS HELPED HARDY TO HIS FEET. HTM: "What the hell are these two sticking their noses in this for"?! Cole: "We saw Rockwell and Michaels come to the aid of Jeff Hardy on Rampage and now, they've saved Matt from a serious beating! I guess they just want the team they face in a TLC match at Foul Play to be at one hundred percent! I know this is something you never have believed in, but it's called good sportsmanship"! HTM: "Oh shut up"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ CAMERAS IN THE BACK ARE FOCUSED ON SOMEONE TAPING THEIR WRISTS. THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW IT IS JOE COREY WITH PAUL HEYMAN STANDING NEXT TO HIM. Paul Heyman: "I don't know what else you want me to say.... I am sorry for what happened at WrestleMania. I did......... Joe Corey: "Save it, Paul". JUST THEN, AXL IRVIN COMES UP AND HE AND COREY ARE NOSE TO NOSE. Axl Irvin: "You ready"? Corey: "What do you think"? Axl Irvin: "I just don't want there to be any excuses.... I'll see ya out there". Cole: "Axl Irvin versus Joe Corey is next". COMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR RED BULL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR SUBWAY. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and boy, what a treat this is! Axl Irvin one on one with Joe Corey"! HTM: "A lot of people forget that Axl Irvin is a former TWF Universal champion. You know Shane McMahon has his eye on this match"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS "MISERIA CANTARE" STARTS TO PLAY. A SPOTLIGHT PICKS UP THE ECW ENTRANCE AND JOE COREY COMES OUT, LED BY PAUL HEYMAN. Cole: "Well speaking of the Universal title, there are a lot of people here tonight who expected this man to be wearing that title tonight, but he came up just a little short". HTM: "Corey is very down about that loss but what he needs to realize is that another oppurtunity will present itself and a win here could lead to just that". Cole: "Mike Chioda will be the referee and he has asked for the bell to get things underway"! "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Paul Heyman vs. Axl Irvin Realizing the oppurtunity in front of them, both men went right at it, eager to get a quick win. Axl was able to block some early shots before catching Corey with a running kick to the face followed by a clothesline that knocked him out of the ring. Heyman rushed over to help Corey regroup, but Corey pushed him aside and grabbed Axl by the right foot, tripping him up. He then pulled him under the bottom rope but Axl blocked a right hand and kicked Corey in the gut before ramming him face first into the ring apron. After rolling Corey into the ring, Axl went to get back in, but Heyman grabbed his leg. Axl shook Heyman off, knocking him to the floor but when he got back in, Corey drilled him with a flying knee to the face. After mounting Axl, Corey landed 7 or 8 hard right hands to the head. He then pulled him up and slung him to the corner, slamming into him with a clothesline. As Axl stumbled out, Corey kicked him in the gut and loaded him up for the "Showstopper", but Axl countered with a backdrop. He then ran the ropes and delivered a nasty yakuza kick. A huge wad of spit flew from the mouth of Corey before Axl delivered a stiff DDT. He made the cover, but Corey was up at 2. Corey got to his feet and backed up against the ropes but Axl ran across the ring and clotheslined him right over the top rope once again. Axl then tried a suicide dive, but Corey showed tremendous strength by catching him in mid air and ramming his back into the steel ring post. After removing the protective padding on one side of the ring, Corey picked Axl up and slammed him right on the concrete floor. Referee Mike Chioda was considering a disqualification, but he allowed the match to continue. After rolling Axl into the ring, Corey got back in and immediately locked him in The Cage. After the two hard shots to his back, Axl was in a lot of pain and now, he had Corey applying some serious pressure to his lower back. Finally, with Corey ripping on the hold, Axl was forced to tap out. Match Time: 5:31 AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AGAIN, HEYMAN APPLAUDED AND CAME INTO THE RING TO RAISE THE HAND OF COREY. Cole: "Joe Corey has rebounded from his loss at WrestleMania with a huge victory here and Honky, Shane McMahon said he'd have an announcement on the names for the elimination chamber by the end of the night, and we're told he's ready now"! THE SHOT GOES BACK TO SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE WHERE HE IS SITTING AT HIS DESK. Shane McMahon: "After watching tonight's action, and factoring in several things, I have come to a decision on who the six superstars in the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at Foul Play will be. As you know, one of those spots was given to Eddie Saint James earlier tonight. Joining him will be Randy Orton, Chaos Wolf, Nails, Joe Corey and........... The Undertaker. THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS THE UNDERTAKER IS ANNOUNCED. Also, I have signed a Last Man Standing match to take place between Umaga and CM Punk. I hope you all enjoy Foul Play..... good night". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE PRIMETIME BROADCAST TABLE. Cole: "Six very capable superstars and what a match that's gonna be". HTM: "I just can't believe The Undertaker, that sick, sadistic, Undertaker is gonna be in the chamber. Those other five guys better be ready". SUDDENLY, A LOUD "WOOOOOOOOO" IS HEARD AND THE ENTIRE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AS RIC FLAIR MAKES HIS WAY OUT. Cole: "Wait a minute, what the heck is this? I don't have anything else on my schedule, do you"? HTM: "Well it's obviously the Nature Boy Ric Flair, but what is he doing out here"? FLAIR GETS INTO THE RING AND IS HANDED A MICROPHONE. HE STARES INTO THE CROWD AND TAKES IN A HUGE STANDING OVATION. Ric Flair: "Thank you, thank you so much. You don't know how much that means to me. At WrestleMania, I was victorious in a match that meant the end of my career if I would've lost. But one thing became very clear to me that night, and that was the fact that win or lose, that had to be my last match. Hold on, hold on, I don't want you guys to take that the wrong way. I love this business like you wouldn't believe. I love to come out here and do it at the level I do and have enjoyed every minute of the thirty-six years I have spent doing it! But, there comes a time when everyone must walk away. There's a locker room full of guys in the back who I have the utmost respect for and who will do this and be here for a long, long time. I just wanted to come out here, one more time, and say thank you to everyone who has supported me for all these years. I have had the greatest career in the history of professional wrestling and I've loved every second of it! Thank you so much! Wooooooooooooooooo"! FLAIR HANDS THE MICROPHONE BACK AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS. Cole: "Well, I didn't think we would end the night on that note, but Ric Flair has just called it a career". "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE. EDGE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Cole: "Oh no, what's Edge gotta come out here for? Can't he just let Ric Flair have this moment"?! HTM: "Look at Flair, he's getting ready to fight"! FLAIR TAKES OFF HIS SUIT JACKET AS EDGE GETS INTO THE RING AND GETS A MICROPHONE. Edge: "Ya know, I know I'm not the most popular guy around here, and I may not be the biggest Ric Flair fan there ever was. But I do share one thing in common with you. I love this business too and even I wouldn't come out here and do anything but show respect for the greatest wrestler that ever lived". EDGE DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND EXTENDS HIS HAND, WHICH FLAIR SHAKES. Cole: "Wow..... I definitely didn't see that coming". "HERE COMES THE MONEY" PLAYS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT AND STANDS ATOP THE STAGE. HE TOO HAS A MIC IN HAND. Shane McMahon: "Ric.... Ric you sly dog. Did you really think you were just gonna come out here, tell everyone you're retiring and expect to walk out of this arena just like that? Look, I kind of had a feeling you were gonna do something like this, so I arranged a little something for ya". THE MUSIC OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN HITS AND ARN ANDERSON, TULLY BLANCHARD, BARRY WINDHAM AND J.J. DILLON ALL COME OUT, HEADING TO THE RING. FLAIR IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO SHED SOME TEARS AS THEY COME TO THE RING AND EMBRACE HIM ONE AT A TIME. RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT IS OUT NEXT AND HE COMES OUT AND GIVES FLAIR A LONG HUG AS THE TWO EXCHANGE SOME WORDS.

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT ALONG WITH PAUL HEYMAN AND BOTH MEN SHAKE THE HAND OF FLAIR. "KING OF KINGS" PLAYS AS MONEY MIKE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. FLAIR LOOKS A LITTLE SURPRISED TO SEE HIM, BUT MIKE STEPS INTO THE RING AND SHAKES HIS HAND. WHAT COMES NEXT IS A SHOCK TO JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. STEVE BORDEN, A.K.A. STING, COMES OUT FROM THE BACK IN BLUE JEANS AND A FOUR HORSEMEN T-SHIRT. FLAIR HAS SOME SERIOUS TEARS AS BORDEN ENTERS THE RING AND GIVES FLAIR A HUG. HE THEN RAISES THE ARM OF FLAIR AS "LEAVE THE MEMORIES ALONE" BY FUEL STARTS UP. THE CROWD IS YELLING AND CHEERING AND IT's ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING SCENES IN THE HISTORY OF THE TWF. Cole: "Wow, this is just amazing! I'm getting choked up myself just sitting here"! HTM: "A very well deserved farewell here.... this is great". SUDDENLY, A BELL TOLLS AND THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY. Cole: "Oh boy............. THE UNDERTAKER SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING AS THE OTHER WRESTLERS MAKE ROOM. HE ENTERS THE RING AND GOES DOWN TO ONE KNEE, SALUTING FLAIR. AFTER REMOVING HIS HAT, HE STANDS ACROSS FROM FLAIR AND EXTENDS HIS HAND. FLAIR ACCEPTS THE HANDSHAKE AND THE TWO MEN HUG BEFORE THE UNDERTAKER LEAVES THE RING AND GOES BACK UP THE RAMP. "LEAVE THE MEMORIES ALONE" PLAYS AGAIN AND FLAIR's FAMILY MAKES THEIR WAY TO THE RING. HIS WIFE, HIS TWO DAUGHTERS AND HIS TWO SONS, DAVID AND REID. FLAIR IS VERY, VERY EMOTIONAL AS TRIPLE H GETS A MICROPHONE. Triple H: "And here comes your family, Ric, and we all know they love you and are as proud of you as everyone else here. So on behalf of every single person in this ring and every single person in this arena..... thank you, Ric..... thank you". FLAIR HUGS HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN AS MORE WRESTLERS BEGIN TO POUR OUT FROM THE BACK. NEARLY EVERYONE FROM EVERY TWF ROSTER IS OUT, INCLUDING SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND BADLANDZ. THERE ARE OVER 150 WRESTLERS CLAPPING AND CHANTING "THANK YOU RIC" ALONG WITH THE CROWD. FLAIR SEEMS OVERWHELMED BY THE RECEPTION. Cole: "Amazing.... simply amazing. Ric Flair, thank you"! OFF AIR.........
