August 28, 2008
The stars of PrimeTime landed in Charlotte, smack dab in the home of the NBA's Bobcats. The arena was filled with over thirteen thousand fans, ready for a huge night of action! The show got started with Uprising, which had a full slate of it's own. Matt Hardy vs. Daivari The crowd was very much into Matt Hardy, being the homestate boy, and they hardly had a chance to sit down before this one was over. Matt connected with the Side Effect before coming off the top rope with his falling legdrop, right on Daivari. From there, he put him away with the "Twist of Fate" to win the match in under 4 minutes. Ricky Ortiz vs. Bryan Kelly (invitee) Ricky Ortiz made his TWF debut trying to get the fans to rally behind him. Wearing a pair of red warm-up pants and a huge afro, Ortiz looked good against Kelly. Kelly did what he could to spoil Ortiz's first match, but after having an irish whip reversed, Kelly was powerslammed to the mat. Ortiz then ran the ropes and got tremendous elevation on a big splash, hooking the leg of Ortiz for the 1.......2..........3. Turrican vs. Kenny Doane Two men looking to position themselves for a Lightheavyweight title shot squared off here. Even though the crowd loved the dancing and antics of Turrican, Doane was not amused. Doane took the fight to Turrican, really trying to show him up. Turrican really seemed overmatched but Doane pulled him up after delivering a big neckbreaker when it appeared he had the match won. Instead, he went for an irish whip but Turrican reversed it and caught him with a big hurricanrana to get the 1.........2.........3! After the match, Turrican was celebrating by dancing in the ring when Talia came out from the back. She got into the ring and acted like she wanted to dance with him, but it was all a set up for Gregory Helms to come out and attack him. Helms hit Turrican with several right hands before delivering the "Nightmare on Helms Street". He and Talia then left to plenty of boos, with Turrican lying on the mat. Dustin Kash vs. CM Punk The bell sounded to start the match and this one was an all out war. Each man came up with a move bigger than the one his opponent just hit all match. Kash was able to put Punk down with a big piledriver, but when he pulled him up and whipped him to the corner, Punk got out of the way of a flying body splash. Punk then flew in with a knee right to the jaw before delivering the Urinagi. Punk went for the pin, but Kash kicked out at 2. Punk then tried to lock in the Anaconda Vice, which we haven't seen in some time, but Kash was alert enough to get his foot to the ropes. After a headbutt to the abdomen, Kash got up and tried to suplex Punk. But Punk was able to reverse it and get Kash up on his shoulders! Somehow, he delivered the "GTS" to get the 3 count and a dramatic win. "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE PLAYED AS PUNK CELEBRATED WITH THE VERY LOUD CROWD BEFORE THE SHOT FADED OUT. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
"RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AND LEADS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE. THE ARENA IS THEN SHOWN, BLAZING WITH PYRO. AFTER PANNING THE CROWD STUFFED FULL OF SCREAMING, EXCITED TWF FANS, THE CAMERA COMES TO REST ON THE PRIMETIME ANNOUNCE POSITION, WHERE MICHAEL COLE SITS WITH THE HONKY TONK MAN. Michael Cole: "The noise level is coming from over thirteen thousand fans here in the Time Warner Arena in Charlotte and partner, I gotta say, this is one electric atmosphere"! Honky Tonk Man: "The Undertaker and Joe Corey will both be in action, Umaga faces Nails and John Cena takes on JBL! What more could a wrestling fan ask for"?! "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS AND EDGE COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT. HE IS WEARING HIS WRESTLING TIGHTS AND A BLACK "RATED R SUPERSTAR" T-SHIRT ALONG WITH THE TWF UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. HE ALSO HAS A MICROPHONE IN HAND AS HE COMES TO THE RING. Cole: "But we're starting things off with the current TWF Universal champion and Honky Tonk, he looks a little peeved if you ask me"! HTM: "I talked to Edge before the show and I know what he plans to use this time for..... he's not happy, to say the least"! Edge: "Shut up! THE CROWD CONTINUES TO BOO, GETTING EVEN LOUDER THAN THEY WERE. Edge: "The last time I was on PrimeTime, I was minding my own business, heading to my vehicle to leave another God-forsaked city, when I was attacked by that piece of garbage Chaos Wolf! THE CROWD LET's OUT PLENTY OF CHEERS. Yeah, yeah, you think that's funny, don'tcha! Well I didn't find it that funny! Chaos Wolf, the only success you've had in your entire career has been because of some sort of weapon or something not related to the sport of wrestling! Sure, you vanquished Chris Tirpak from PrimeTime..... but it took a stun gun to do it! You won the ECW World title, but how many foreign objects did you need to do that?! And then you won the extreme elimination chamber, but that was only after The Undertaker eliminated everyone else and again, you needed a stun gun to secure the win! And then, you attack me, like some kind of animal, you attack me, and you use the arm of some kind of dummy you placed in my car to do that! Well at MeltDown, you're gonna have to beat me without any weapons, it's gonna have to be with wrestling moves and guess what Wolf....... you can't do it! So if you have the balls....... why don't you come out here and show all these people just how tough you are..... come on...... come out here without any weapons..... I dare ya"! Cole: "Edge is trying to bait Chaos Wolf to come to the ring and fight him, but I have a feeling the number one contender is smarter than that"! JUST THEN, "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STARTS UP AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HTM: "Or not......... CHAOS WOLF STARTS HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE, BUT HE IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY ALDO CORLEONE! CHAOS WOLF TRIES TO FIGHT BACK, BUT HE IS OVERWHELMED BY CORLEONE. EDGE THEN COMES OUT AND AS CORLEONE HOLDS WOLF BACK, EDGE RIFLES SEVERAL RIGHT HANDS INTO HIS HEAD. CORLEONE THEN LIFTS WOLF UP WITH BOTH HANDS AROUND HIS THROAT AND JUST DROPS HIM TO THE FLOOR. THE FANS BOO AS "METALINGUS" COMES ON AGAIN AND EDGE AND CORLEONE WALK AWAY AS WOLF WRITHES IN PAIN ON THE FLOOR. Cole: "This was all a set-up! Edge called Chaos Wolf out here to be blindsided by the Italian Monster, Aldo Corleone"! HTM: "To each his own, Michael! Chaos Wolf placed a mannequin in Edge's rental car and now.... he paid for it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR CARL's, JR. IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR COMCAST. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... UMAGA's MUSIC HITS WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime and here comes the Samoan Bulldozer, ready for what is sure to be a slugfest"! HTM: "And I don't think I'd want to be in a slugfest with this guy"! "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND NAILS SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. Cole: "Perhaps you're not too familiar with Nails. This guy will go at it with anyone, at anytime, in any place! Nails will go to war with any superstar we have or have ever had"! HTM: "I get it, but that doesn't mean he'll be successful, and I wouldn't say Umaga is at all intimidated here"! UMAGA AND NAILS ARE FACE TO FACE. THE BELL RINGS AND NAILS THROWS A RIGHT HAND, KNOCKING UMAGA BACK. UMAGA FIRES BACK WITH A THRUST PUNCH AND THE BRAWL IS ON. SUDDENLY, MARK HENRY COMES OUT AND CLIMBS INTO THE RING. HE SMASHES NAILS WITH A RIGHT HAND AND REFEREE MARTY ELIAS IMMEDIATELY CALLS FOR THE BELL. BUT HENRY THEN GOES AFTER UMAGA, DROPPING HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE AS WELL. BOTH MEN GET UP AND NOW THE BRAWL IS BETWEEN 3 MEN. JUST ABOUT EVER OFFICIAL THAT WAS IN THE BACK CAME TO THE RING TO PULL THE 3 MEN APART. Cole: "Can you believe this?! We might need some more guys out here to hold these three back"! HTM: "Well clearly Mark Henry was still upset over what happened on the last PrimeTime, but he went after Umaga too"! Cole: "Three very strong, very tough men are at each other's throats here! I don't know how they're gonna keep them away from each other"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS WITH A VERY EXCITED EDGE. Lena Yada: "Edge, just moments ago, we saw Chaos Wolf fall into a trap you had....... Edge: "And a perfect trap it was. I mean, I knew that idiot Chaos Wolf would walk right into that one, and he felt the effects of what happens when you mess with the Rated R Superstar! Ya see, when he attacked me in the parking garage a couple weeks ago, he basically made his career deathbed because at MeltDown....... I'm going to end him"! EDGE WALKS OFF AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE RENE DUPREE IS GETTING LOOSE AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" HITS, BRINGING JOE COREY OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE LED BY PAUL HEYMAN. THE CROWD REACTS WITH UNANIMOUS BOOS AS HE MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THEM TO THE RING. Cole: "And we can confirm that Chaos Wolf has challenged Aldo Corleone to a match and it will take place right here, later tonight"! HTM: "That's gonna be a hard hitter for sure, but right now, it's Joe Corey ready for action and we can't talk about Joe Corey without talking about what he did to The Undertaker last week". Cole: "Many people think Joe Corey has lost it, because no one does something like that to the deadman and gets away with it! Remember the look in Taker's eyes"?! HTM: "Joe Corey told me earlier tonight that he knows what he's doing...... that's good enough for me"! Rene Dupree vs. "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Paul Heyman The bell sounded and Corey went right after the man Undertaker defeated last night, working on his right leg. Dupree tried his best to fend him off, but Corey was very aggressive. After a dragon whip, Corey went for a high knee but Dupree got out of the way. Dupree then locked in a Cobra Clutch and he had it in good, but Corey was able to grab the top rope to earn a break. As referee Charles Robinson was trying to seperate the men, Corey connected with an elbow to the mouth that Dupree never saw coming. Corey then drilled him with a clothesline before dropping a knee right on him. From there, Corey continued to work on the leg before slapping on the Figure Four. Dupree was not in plenty of trouble, but he was somehow able to get to the ropes himself. Corey broke the hold and went after him, clotheslining him out of the ring. Corey was about to follow him out when Heyman got his attention, pointing to a mysterious casket that had appeared at the foot of the ring. Corey tried to not let it bother him, but he had clearly lost his focus as Dupree started to fight his way back into the match. After a big suplex, Dupree performed his French Tickler dance before pulling Corey up. He went for a DDT but Corey blocked it and after shooting him to the ropes, he kicked him in the stomach and set him up for the "Showstopper". But the lid of the casket burst open and The Undertaker popped out! Corey looked like he'd seen a ghost as he stared at the deadman. The French Phenom took advantage of this, tripping Corey up and using a flip-over bridge to get the 1.........2..........3 and pull off a huge upset! Match Time: 7:45 Dupree left the ring and Corey looked like he didn't even care that he'd lost the match, still looking square at The Undertaker. Cole: "Wow.... can you believe that"?! HTM: "Uh, I don't think The Undertaker is done"! Undertaker got out of the casket and Corey rolled out of the ring with Heyman. Undertaker then got into the ring and raised his hands as a bolt of lightning struck the stage. Heyman and Corey continued their retreat as the fans cheered. Cole: "What has Joe Corey gotten himself into"? COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR COCA-COLA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "COLLEGE". RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, LENA YADA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH JOHN CENA, WHO IS ALL SMILES. Lena Yada: "John, later tonight, you will face JBL, who, along with Gregory Helms, was able to win a tag team match against you a couple weeks ago". John Cena: "Don't forget to throw in the other part...... CENA IS TRYING TO GET LENA TO SAY SOMETHING, BUT SHE's STUMPED. Okay, I'll throw in the part about that one guy, ya know, the former UFC champion that decided to come out during my match. It's cool, because I know what you're doin', Tito. You gotta remember one thing, unlike the UFC, I've been doin' this a lot longer than you have..... and I can wait for a long, long time for you to step up and be a man". CENA WALKS AWAY AS MOST OF THE CROWD CHEERS FROM INSIDE. **The scene opens to a rundown city district, nightime.**
The view zooms in on an abandoned warehouse. Dim yellow lights are on inside, every few instances a bright flash hits the windows.
The scene fades to inside the warehouse. The lights flicker an eerie yellow above. Some of the hanging lights are simply out. Along the walls, chains, ropes, pulleys, steel bars, and hooks hang.
In the center flashes erupt. A large structure is being built.
A blonde haired man sits on top of the structure, welding a support beam.
The cage is eight sided, with chainlink fence walls. Along the walls, razor wire and barbed wire are draped. The man at the top drops his torch near the camera man.
"I see you made it past the dogs." He chuckles. "It's a good thing they're chained up."
He jumps down to the ring.
"Do you like it?" he says, "It's my latest project."
The man lifts his arms and spins, showing off his work.
"Eight sides of pain, eight ways to bleed." he says, "I'll have a 'roof' on it soon. I don't think I will include a door."
The camera man starts to breathe heavy and back away.
"Don't get scared now. You're hear for a reason, aren't you? And I bet it's not to see what I'm concocting for the TWF."
The camera pans to a corner where the man has gone to retrieve his torch.
"I know what you're thinking." he says, "Where does he get off? What's this new device of torture?"
The man lights the torch and he adjusts it to a fine white hue. The glare shines in the camera. He holds it in wonder before turning to face the camera.
"I am Samaiel. I have fought and killed for the United States of America. I have hurt many people in my line of work. My superiors say it was for 'freedom'."
He laughs a hearty laugh.
"I say it was for the almighty dollar." he continues, "Now, I put the pain to the test. This is to be my opus. To see who can survive in this horrific masterpiece. To see who can be called champion."
He steps forward. The camera man stumbles, trying to back away.
"Real skittish, aren't you?" Samaiel jokes, "Don't worry. I'm not done with you yet. My business with the TWF will not be finished for some time. I come to test my mettle with its superstars; it's warriors. I have seen the action, I have seen the battles. I relish the thought of breaking a few bones."
The camera man gasps.
"Touchy guy. I think perhaps a lesson is in order?"
Suddenly, Samaiel is upon the camera man. The camera drops and falls to the stone floor. Several shards of glass lay scattered in front of it.
"Now, let's see what we can scare up."
Samaiel walks in to view with the camera man on his shoulders. The man faces up towards the ceiling.
Samaiel executes an Inverted Death Valley Driver. The camera man's neck bends at a very awkward angle.
Samaiel stands up and brushes himself off, then picks up his still lit torch.
The camera man lays very still. It's hard to tell if he's still breathing.
Samaiel walks over to the camera. The torch flame shines into the lens.
The shot goes black. WHEN THE ACTION RETURNS LIVE, THE UNITED NATION's THEME IS PLAYING AND PAUL BURCHILL STANDS IN THE RING WITH KATIE LEA, WAITING. MOMENTS LATER, "SEXY BOY" STARTS UP AND SHAWN MICHAELS HEADS TO THE RING TO A GOOD CHEER. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "What the heck was that about"? HTM: "His name is Samaiel and from what I'm told, he is on his way here to PrimeTime". Cole: "I don't even know what to make of that, but we do know that Shawn Michaels and Jordan Rockwell will defend their Tag Team titles against The U.N. at MeltDown". HTM: "That is one of the most anticipated matches on the card and with it being held in Wembley Stadium, I know the people over there simply can't wait for that match"! Cole: "It was on the last edition of PrimeTime where we saw Jordan Rockwell defeat Harry Smith and much like that match, no one will be allowed to be out here other than Katie Lea". HTM: "And how bad can that be"? Shawn Michaels vs. Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea After the bell sounded, these two men locked up and exchanged several quick holds, taking turns in control. Burchill was able to put Michaels down with a nice armdrag before kicking him square in the face. After ripping at Michaels' eyes and nose, Burchill pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes, but Michaels ducked a clothesline and came off the other side with a flying forearm that was right on the money. After nipping up, Michaels was set for the Superkick, but Katie Lea got on the apron to provide a distraction long enough for Burchill to hit her from behind. After a backdrop suplex, Burchill dropped a knee right across the face of Michaels before covering him for a short 2 count. Burchill then locked in a reverse armbar, pulling at the right arm of HBK. Michaels was clearly struggling in the hold, but he wheeled his left leg around to get the ropes and earn a break. Burchill stayed on him with right hand after right hand before going for an irish whip but Michaels reversed it and pulled him right into an inverted atomic drop. After 2 big right hands, Michaels dropkicked Burchill right out of the ring. As Burchill slowly got to his feet, Michaels dove through the ring ropes, landing right on him! The crowd loved the action as Michaels got up and rolled back into the ring. Referee Mike Enos asked Michaels to stay back and give Burchill a chance to return to the ring, and slowly, he began to climb the apron. Michaels went to suplex him back into the ring, but in very sneaky fashion, Katie Lea crawled around the ring and tripped Michaels up. Burchill then fell right on top of him and Katie held his right foot down, preventing a kick out as Enos made the 3 count! Match Time: 7:43 HTM: "Whoa! Can you believe that"?! Cole: "No, I can't, and that's gotta be the biggest win in Paul Burchill's career..... thanks to his sister"! THE UNITED NATION's THEME SONG PLAYED AGAIN AS KATIE AND BURCHILL LEFT TO PLENTY OF BOOS, ARM IN ARM. MICHAELS WAS OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED AS BURCHILL MOTIONED AROUND HIS WAIST FOR THE BELT. HTM: "And I love it! What a huge win"! Cole: "These two teams are one and one after two singles matches, the only difference is, Jordan Rockwell defeated Harry Smith by himself a couple weeks ago"! BACKSTAGE...... ECW DRESSING ROOM...... IN THE ECW DRESSING ROOM, KATO AND SONNY ONOO ARE SHOWN SEATED, HAVING THEIR OWN CONVERSATION. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM, JOHN MORRISON AND DUSTIN KASH ARE WITH JOE COREY. Joe Corey: "I said..... I said I know what I'm doing"! Dustin Kash: "Really? Then why is Morrison facing The Undertaker tonight.... huh"? Corey: "See, this is exactly the crap I'm talking about. The ECW guys over on Rampage don't give me this. You guys want to see proof? You keep watching, because tonight, I'll show the world what I think of The Undertaker....... and you can decide for yourselves if I know what I'm doing or not"! COREY LEAVES THE ROOM, SLAMMING THE DOOR AS MORRISON LOOKS AT KASH AND JUST SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS. BACK AT RINGSIDE, A LOUD BELL RINGS AND A WHITE LIMOSINE WITH BULLHORNS PULLS INTO THE ARENA. BOOS POUR IN AS THE BACK DOOR OPENS AND JBL STEPS OUT. Cole: "What does Joe Corey have in mind now"? HTM: "He's obviously a little frustrated, and he seems to be losing the trust of his group, Michael! What the heck is wrong with those guys"! Cole: "Well I would be upset too if I lost to Rene Dupree tonight, but Corey's got no one to blame for that but himself! Right now, it's JBL on his way to the ring for one of tonight's main events"! A MIXTURE OF BOOS AND CHEERS IS HEARD AS "MY TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AND JOHN CENA STEPS OUT WEARING A CAMOFLAUGE HAT AND ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK T-SHIRTS. HTM: "Don't forget, it was JBL who told Cena who should focus on things other than Tito Ortiz before pinning him in their tag team match a couple weeks ago"! Cole: "Tito Ortiz busted John Cena open at Foul Play and cost him a major match! I don't know about you Honky, but I think that would make it a little hard to focus on something else"! HTM: "Well he better, or he's gonna find himself on the losing end of another one"! JBL vs. John Cena Like two big bulls, Cena and JBL ran into each other, tying up and fighting for position. It was the veteran JBL who was able to get Cena into the corner. Referee Mickey Henson moved in, trying to get a break, but JBL rocked Cena with a right hand, then a hammer fist. With Cena slumped in the corner, the big man slammed into him with several hard knees before sending him to the other corner with so much velocity that it shook the ring. Cena tried to get up, but JBL just kicked him right in the head. He then pulled Cena up and delivered a big vertical suplex before dropping not one, not two, not three, but seven consecutive elbow drops. JBL made the cover, but Cena was able to kick out at 2. JBL pulled him up and tried to pull him into a big clothesline, but Cena ducked and was able to pull off his swinging side suplex. After hitting the ropes, Cena connected with a flying shoulder tackle and he was right back in the match. Cena followed that with a barrage of right hands, not allowing JBL to recover. Cena was able to connect with a big powerslam before calling for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, which he delivered to a mixed response. From there, Cena went to the top rope, waiting for JBL to get up. Just as he was about to take flight, he noticed Tito Ortiz at ringside, arguing with Henson. Suddenly, members of Tito's entourage came from out of the crowd and one of them shoved him off the top rope! Cena landed very hard on his head and neck as JBL got up and blasted him with the "Clothesline from Hell"! JBL made the cover and Henson turned to make the 3 count as Ortiz raised both arms in victory! Match Time: 8:11 HTM: "That's twice in a row! Two wins in a row for JBL over John Cena"! Cole: "And both times, he had a nice assist from Tito Ortiz! That's becoming more commonplace than John Stockton to Karl Malone"! HTM: "What"? JBL's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE ACTUALLY LEFT WITH ORTIZ AND HIS ENTOURAGE AS THE CROWD VIOLENTLY BOOED. Cole: "Nevermind, all I know is that another silo has just been fired in this ongoing war between Tito Ortiz and John Cena"! HTM: "Cena said he can wait around forever...... if he keeps losing matches, he might never get a shot at Tito Ortiz"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR MADDEN '09 FOR PS3, XBOX 360 AND NINTENDO WII IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FOX PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE NFL ON FOX. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, A CHAOTIC FRACAS IS SHOWN AS WILLIAM REGAL AND FINLAY ARE BRAWLING IN AND OUT OF THE RING. Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime and while we were away, William Regal called Finlay out and Finlay didn't wait long to accept"! HTM: "These two are beating each other's brains out, Michael"! FINLAY AND REGAL ARE TRADING SHOTS BUT AFTER CATCHING REGAL WITH AN ELBOW TO THE MOUTH, FINLAY GRABS HIS SHILLELAGH AND IS ABOUT TO SMASH FINLAY WITH IT WHEN VLADIMIR KOZLOV COMES OUT AND NAILS FINLAY FROM BEHIND. Cole: "And there's Kozlov...... the Moscow Mauler is all over Finlay"! HTM: "Finlay had to know he was walking into a hornet's nest, look at this"! AFTER REGAL POTATOES FINLAY WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE, KOZLOV PICKS HIM UP AND DUMPS HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A RUSSIAN SUPLEX. Cole: "Oh...... that was vicious! Kozlov just dropped Finlay on his head"! HTM: "He may've killed the last few brain cells Finlay had"! KOZLOV AND REGAL HURRY OUT OF THE RING WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHAWN MICHAELS COME RUNNING OUT TO A BIG CHEER. THEY COME TO FINLAY's AID, BUT THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. Cole: "And there are the tag team champions, but it appears they're too late, Finlay took a nasty bump there"! HTM: "Take some notes Rockwell, Michaels..... you two are gonna need one hell of a gameplan to get past the U.N. in London". BACKSTAGE........ THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACK WHERE DOMINO IS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH CHERRY. Domino: "I know, I know, sis..... I just don't know what you want me to do about it". JUST THEN, SCOTT STEINER COMES UP AND GRABS CHERRY BY THE HAND. Scott Steiner: "Come on.... my match is up"! CHERRY HURRIES OFF AND STEINER STARES DOWN DOMINO FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE FOLLOWING HER. The Highlanders vs. Scott Steiner and PJ Cash w/ Cherry and The Warlord Cherry was clearly uncomfortable at ringside, much as she was a couple weeks ago. The Highlanders were able to get PJ Cash isolated in the ring, using their superior tag team abilities to keep him from his corner. Cash and Steiner were very unfamiliar with one another, and Steiner spent much of the match arguing with Cherry. The Highlanders hit a double backbody drop off an irish whip before Rory loaded up a clothesline. But Cash was able to duck it before sending Rory over the top rope with a dropkick. Cash then sprung into a flying back elbow, connecting on Robbie before making the tag to Big Poppa Pump. But unbeknownst to referee Mike Chioda, The Warlord picked Rory McCallister up and rammed him back first into the steel ring post. In the ring, Steiner shot Robbie to the ropes before putting him down with a Steiner Line. After a huge elbow drop, Steiner began to do some push-ups, when Cash slapped his back to tag himself in. Cash then connected with the "Cash Register" on Robbie before covering him for the 3 count. Match Time: 4:35 AFTER THE MATCH, STEINER AND CHERRY LEFT THE RING IN A HURRY WHILE "EXs AND OHs" BY ATREYU PLAYED. BUT AS RORY COULD ONLY WATCH HELPLESSLY, THE WARLORD CAME INTO THE RING AND SLAPPED HIS FULL NELSON ON ROBBIE McCALLISTER. AFTER THE WARLORD FLUNG HIM TO THE MAT, THE SHOT FADED OUT TO GO TO BREAK. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A SERIES OF PROPOGANDA COMMERCIALS FOR THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ARE SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR NCAA FOOTBALL 2009 FOR ALL MAJOR VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS. RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE...... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "MISERIA CANTARE" IS PLAYING AND JOHN MORRISON IS WAITING IN THE RING WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT. SCREAMS AND CHEERS FILL THE TIME WARNER CABLE ARENA. Cole: "Are you ready for this? A BELL TOLLS, LEADING INTO THE MUSIC OF THE UNDERTAKER. Prepare for the entrance of the deadman"! A THICK FOG FORMS IN THE ENTRANCE AND ON THE AISLE AS THE UNDERTAKER SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. HTM: "And he's making his way straight to the ring..... I don't envy John Morrison right now". Cole: "So you envy him sometimes? (laughs) But in all seriousness, John Morrison has been thrown to the wolves tonight! Joe Corey....... HTM: "And how is that?! He's part of ECW, isn't he?! Right now, one of the ECW leader's goals is to destroy The Undertaker! Don't you think the rest of the group should have the same thing in mind"?! Cole: "Yeah, well good luck with that". John Morrison vs. The Undertaker Morrison never had much of a chance in this one, but he put up a valiant fight. The only glimpse of hope came when The Undertaker landed awkwardly on his right ankle when he went for his Old School attack. Morrison went to work on the right leg, but after catching Morrison with a kick to the face, using that same leg, Taker was able to shake it off. He shot Morrison to the corner and followed in with a clothesline before running the ropes again for a big boot to the face. Morrison was seeing stars and The Undertaker was ready to put him away. After shaking the ring with a huge chokeslam, Taker made the throat-slash gesture we have come to know so well. After scooping Morrison up, Undertaker dropped the ECW member on his head with the Tombstone and crossed his arms across his chest as referee Marty Elias pounded the mat for the 3 count. Match Time: 5:11 But right after the match, Joe Corey came out and attacked The Undertaker, hitting him in the side of the head with a loaded right hand. The Undertaker collapsed hard to the mat. Cole: "There's Joe Corey..... he's got something wrapped around his fist"! Cameras got a great shot of a thick biker chain wrapped around Corey's right hand, and he relentlessly hammered The Undertaker with it as the crowd vociferously booed. After pulling The Undertaker to his feet, Corey delivered the "Showstopper" before pulling him up one more time. Barely able to stand, Undertaker took one more shot to the face with the chain and fell to the mat, his face oozing blood. Cole: "The Undertaker has been given a crimson mask"! HTM: "Corey said he was gonna do this...... I sure hope the rest of ECW is getting a good look at this! Hell, the rest of the TWF for that matter"! UNDERTAKER LIED MOTIONLESS ON THE MAT AS COREY SCREAMED FOR HIM TO "SIT UP"! FINALLY, "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AGAIN, BUT BARELY COVERED THE BOOS FLOWING THROUGH THE ARENA AS COREY AND MORRISON LEFT THE RING. Cole: "I..... I don't know what to say. I've never seen anyone..... anyone do this to The Undertaker". HTM: "This is amazing, Michael, absolutely amazing"! Cole: "Well speaking of amazing, one note to pass along here...... Damion West, who has been out of action for several weeks, will be making a return to the TWF very soon and while we don't know all the details, we are told that he has quite the story to tell about his absence". "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE COMES OUT ONCE AGAIN WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. HE IS WEARING BLUE JEANS AND A BROWN AND WHITE "RATED R SUPERSTAR" T-SHIRT AS HE HEADS TO THE ANNOUNCE POSITION. HTM: "Here comes the champion, one more time"! Cole: "We are going to be joined here by Edge for guest commentary and you might say that he has a keen interest in this match"! EDGE COMES TO THE TABLE AND SHAKES THE HAND OF THE HONKY TONK MAN. HTM: "How ya doin', champ"? COLE OFFERS TO SHAKE HIS HAND, BUT EDGE IGNORES HIM. Edge: "Are you ready to be joined by someone who is actually cool, who can actually get women, Honky Tonk Man"? HTM: "It'd be a welcome relief". THE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER MOVIES COMES ON AND ALDO CORLEONE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "Well here comes your hitman, Edge, what do you have to say about that"? Edge: "What do you mean what do I have to say about that? You think I'm gonna deny it? I asked Aldo to help me out tonight because I knew how stupid Chaos Wolf was.... and he walked right into it"! HTM: "Hey look out"! RIGHT WHEN ALDO CORLEONE COMES INTO THE RING, THE CROWD CHEERS AS CHAOS WOLF COMES FROM OUT OF THE CROWD WITH A STEEL CHAIR.
