Attendance: 13,589
December 10, 2010
Fans in Boston were ready to celebrate much more than the holidays on this night. Boston native Joe Corey was soon to arrive with his newly won Universal title and it appeared a hero's welcome awaited. But first, Uprising set the stage and on display were all 3 of the superstars that PrimeTime obtained in the "New Superstar Package".
Vance Archer vs. Adam Evans (invitee) Archer had Evans by around 7 inches and at least 50 pounds in this one, and he used his size to his advantage. Evans was able to get in a minimal amount of offense but after missing with a springboard body attack, Archer blasted him with a clothesline that he never recovered from. Archer delivered a full nelson slam and a big running boot to the face to set up a vicious reverse DDT drop on an overmatched Evans, completing a very successful debut.
Tyler Reks vs. Bobby Sharp (invitee) 23 year old Bobby Sharp flew in from Canada for a chance to impress here, but a focused and violent Reks gave him no chance to do so. Systematically taking Sharp apart, Reks seemed to put the finishing touches on following a double underhook throw off the top rope. But Reks wanted to inflict more pain and punishment, and he got Sharp up for a Burning Hammer to bring an end to this one.
Justin Gabriel vs. Danny Duggan (invitee) Saving the most athletic and exciting for last, Gabriel completed a clean sweep for the New Superstar Package with an easy win over Danny Duggan. After knocking some teeth loose with a jumping spin kick to the head, Gabriel finished his 3 minute win with a breathtaking 450 splash. After the match, Vance Archer and Tyler Reks came out to the ring and trio stood over Duggan before Reks got him up for his Burning Hammer. The crowd hastily booed as Uprising came to a close and the stage crew got things set for PrimeTime to take the air live.
PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO FOR PRIMETIME CONCLUDES, PYRO ILLUMINATES THE GARDEN IN BOSTON, WHICH IS LITTERED WITH TWF FANS AND THEIR SIGNS. Scott Hudson: "It is sure to be a wild night here in Boston as the King of the Ring tournament qualification matches continue but we have much.... much more"! Honky Tonk Man: "Oh yeah, Boston's own Joe Corey will be here as your new TWF Universal champion.... I can't wait"! BLADE IS SHOWN WAITING IN THE RING, GETTING LOOSE. Hudson: "Blade will take on John Morrison in our opening contest and this will be a King of the Ring qualifier"! JUST THEN, "EX's and OH's" BY ATREYU COMES ON AND PJ CASH COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE IS WEARING A PAIR OF SHADES, A PLAIN BLACK T-SHIRT AND DARK BLUE JEANS. Hudson: "Wait a minute.... what the heck is this about"? HTM: "Why in the world is this guy here"? THE FANS MOSTLY BOO CASH, WHO HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN THE TWF IN MONTHS. HE COMES OVER TOWARDS THE BROADCAST POSITION AND HANDS THE HONKY TONK MAN A PIECE OF PAPER. HE THEN GRABS A HEADSET AND PUTS IT ON. Honky Tonk Man: "What's this"? PJ Cash: "You want me to read it to you too? It's your walking papers.... now get outta here". HTM: "What?! You can't do this"! PJ Cash: "Go tell that to The Empire, they made the decision. HONKY TONK MAN STARTS TO WALK AWAY WHEN CASH REACHES BEHIND THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AND PULLS OUT HIS GUITAR. Here.... and take this with you"! CASH TOSSES HONKY TONK MAN THE GUITAR AND HE WALKS AWAY, IN SHOCK. Hudson: "I.... I don't know what to say". PJ Cash: "Well that's good, because when your mouth moves, people change the channel. You have a new broadcast partner, Hudson. Someone who will bring knowledge, intellect and most importantly.... class to this position". Hudson: "Okay, well in that case, let's get on with it". JOHN MORRISON's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. HE TAKES A LOOK AT THE LARGE THRONE AND CROWN WHICH HAVE BEEN POSITIONED AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE. PJ Cash: "And before you think you're gonna be the lead guy around here, this is the thing. You call moves here and there and you do all the promotional ads and all that crap, got it? I'll keep the viewers right here on FOX". Hudson: "We saw four men from Rampage qualify for the King of the Ring tournament which will take place at DoomsDay and the winner here will be the first from PrimeTime to get into the eight man field". King of the Ring Qualification Match Blade vs. John Morrison Morrison got into the ring and as he was trying to remove his trademark fur coat, Blade jumped on him from behind. He spun Morrison around and battered him with 2 right hands. After throwing Morrison shoulder first into the ring post, Blade tried to get him up to the top rope. But Morrison fought him off and used a sunset flip to score a 2 count. Both men got to their feet and Morrison ducked a clothesline before hitting a big backbody drop. Blade sat up quickly, only to be put back down by a running knee to the chest. Morrison made the cover but Blade got a shoulder off the mat at 2. Waiting for Blade to get up, Morrison went for the Chuck Kick when he did but Blade ducked it and caught him with a flying leg lariat. He pulled Morrison up and shot him to the corner but when he followed in, Morrison moved out of the way and then hit the flying kick to the head. With Blade down, "Starship Pain" was just moments away and after hitting it, Morrison got the 3 count. Match Time: 2:51 Hudson: "What an incredible win for John Morrison! He's advanced to DoomsDay"! PJ Cash: "Boy, that's just incredible analysis. No, Morrison got a big win tonight for sure, but Blade opened the door after telegraphing that charge into the corner and he didn't seem to have any of Morrison's arsenal scouted". MORRISON CELEBRATED THE WIN IN THE RING AS THE FANS CHEERED LOUDLY. Hudson: "So you're saying you would've been more prepared"? PJ Cash: "Listen, don't ask stupid questions, Hudson. That's another rule we're gonna have around here now". Hudson: "Ohhhh boy, I have a feeling this is gonna be a long night.... we'll be right back". COMMERCIAL BREAK......... COMMERCIALS FOR BUD LIGHT AND BURGER KING ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... KOFI KINGSTON's MUSIC COMES ON WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS AND HE COMES OUT ACCOMPANIED BY THE USUAL DISPLAY OF PYRO. THE FANS CHEER LOUDLY IN HIS FAVOR. Hudson: "Welcome back to PrimeTime where we are still anticipating the arrival of the new TWF Universal champion Joe Corey and for those of you who may be just joining us, I am not doing this show with the Honky Tonk Man...... I'm here with PJ Cash". PJ Cash: "Oh don't say it like it's a bad thing, Hudson. This show is gonna be a lot more fun and you're gonna be a lot less boring with me here". Hudson: "Another King of the Ring qualification match on tap here between Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin. We've already seen John Morrison advance to the tournament tonight". "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER AS WELL. Cash: "Two of the most athletic guys on the PrimeTime roster.... this should be a fun one". Hudson: "It's hard to pick a winner for sure as both of these guys seem to have tremendous futures on PrimeTime". King of the Ring Qualification Match Kofi Kingston vs. Shelton Benjamin The bell sounded and Kofi and Benjamin circled each other, looking for their shot. Kofi went in quick but Benjamin was able to get the wraps on him and take him to the mat. It was clearly Benjamin's game plan to keep Kingston grounded and with his superior wrestling ability, he was able to do that in the beginning of the contest. But Kofi showed great determination in getting to his feet. Benjamin had his arms wrapped around him, pinning Kofi's arms against his body. But Kofi charged towards the corner and managed to slip free, dropping down and sending Shelton face first into the top turnbuckle. He then went to the outside of the ring and shot himself in from the apron with a huge clothesline. Now, Kofi was feeling it. After landing the Boom Drop, he measured Shelton who was very slow to get up. When he got to his feet, Kofi came at him but Shelton latched onto him and went into a standing waistlock. But after catching him with a back elbow to the jaw, Kofi grabbed him in position for the S.O.S. But Shelton countered and again got the waistlock on, this time hitting a terrific german suplex. Benjamin bridged into a pin and got 1.......2........., but Kofi kicked out. Benjamin tried to set him up for the "Paydirt" but when he went for it, Kofi had the awareness to grab the top rope. Shelton hit the mat hard and got up holding the back of his head, only to be put right back down by the "Trouble in Paradise". Kofi covered him and hooked the leg to win it. PJ Cash: "Trouble in Paradise"! Hudson: "And it was trouble for Shelton Benjamin! What a complete win for Kofi Kingston"! AS KINGSTON's MUSIC PLAYED, SHELTON BENJAMIN GOT UP AND EXTENDED HIS HAND, WHICH KOFI SHOOK. Cash: "We only have two spots left in the tournament". A GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING THE MEN WHO HAVE QUALIFIED. SHEAMUS, TROY GAFGEN, SEBASTIAN CAIN, DOLPH ZIGGLER, JOHN MORRISON AND NOW, KOFI KINGSTON. Hudson: "Great show of sportsmanship there and you're right, two qualifying matches still to come and we will have both of those here tonight"! BACKSTAGE...... DRESSING ROOM....... TWF NEWCOMER CAYDEN COLE IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM. HE IS IN THE MIDST OF A CONVERSATION ON HIS CELL PHONE. Cayden Cole: "I know.... I just had second thoughts at Anarchy Rulz. I haven't even talked to those guys. (pause) Right..... but I've heard how things work around here and I just want to play my cards right, ya know? I'll come to a decision". Damion West vs. Gregory Helms w/ Velvet Sky Looking for a measure of revenge after Helms walked out on him at Anarchy Rulz, Damion West punished Helms for most of this match. With things in firm control after West landed a flying elbow off the top rope, Velvet got up on the apron. West went over and she tried to slap him but he caught her arm, spun her around and smacked her on the ass. West was having a good time and so were the fans. Velvet tried to come into the ring and referee Charles Robinson was having a hard time keeping her back. Just then, Mark Henry appeared from out of the crowd. West saw this and foolishly launched himself over the top rope, only to have Henry catch him in mid air. He then rammed him into the steel post, bending the frame of West across it. After West was thrown back into the ring, Helms drilled him with a perfect shining wizard, covering him for the 1...............2.................3. Match Time: 9:13 Hudson: "What the heck is Mark Henry doing out here..... Chaos Wolf's dirty work"?! PJ Cash: "Hey, everyone knows I think Chaos Wolf is one of the biggest tools in the TWF, but Damion West is the one who said things weren't over between the two of them...... only problem is, Wolf has this four hundred pound monster at his side now". Hudson: "And what about Monica?! What have they done with her"?! "IT's TIME" PLAYED AND GREGORY HELMS LEFT WITH VELVET SKY, WHO WAS STILL STEAMED OVER WEST PUTTING HIS HANDS ON HER. COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR PAPA MURPHY's PIZZA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR DOOMSDAY FEATURING JASON OLIVER DEFENDING THE TWF WORLD TITLE AGAINST MATT CRUZ. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, "RADIO" IS PLAYING AND ZACK RYDER IS IN THE RING. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON. ARIEL EMERGES FROM THE BACK WEARING A SHORT RUFFLED SKIRT AND MATCHING CORSET. SHE ALSO HAS A BLACK HOOD OVER HER HEAD. BEHIND HER IS KEVIN THORN, CARRYING HIS FAMILIAR WALKING STICK. Hudson: "We are back here live on PrimeTime...... Cash (interrupting): "And the Honky Tonk Man is gone because he sucked! How's that"? Hudson: "PJ Cash is apparently my new partner in calling the number one wrestling program in the world and we are about to continue the qualifying round of for the King of the Ring tournament". PJ Cash: "And here comes the dark couple of the TWF...... real life vampires, Hudson". Hudson: "Well aside from that, Kevin Thorn is a former TWF Universal and Intercontinental champion. Zack Ryder has a tall order in front of him tonight". King of the Ring Qualification Match Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Zack Ryder Ryder seemed to show no intimidation of Thorn, walking right up to him, removing his shades and giving him a verbal beatdown. After shouting "Woo woo woo", Thorn dropped him with a right hand. Showing his usual diabolical self, Thorn got down and choked Ryder with both hands. Ryder fought to get away and rolled out of the ring. Ariel made her way over and when Ryder got up, she was right in his face, exposing her fangs. Ryder looked a little frightened as he hopped back up on the apron. Thorn made his way over but Ryder grabbed him and pulled him down over the top rope with the hangman. He then got into the ring and kicked the body of Thorn several times before hitting the ropes and delivering a running kick to the face. Thorn got up but Ryder grabbed him while he was still on his knees and delivered a wicked DDT. He then went to the top rope after saying something to the crowd but Thorn got up. He went and grabbed Ryder and looked to be setting up the "Dark Kiss" but Ryder fought it off. Thorn finally got his right hand around the throat of the Long Island native and chokeslammed him off the top rope! Ryder was in trouble following the impact and Thorn got him up for the Crucifix powerbomb, covering him for the win. Match Time: 4:46 THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN AND A RED HAZE CAME OVER THE RING AS ARIEL JUMPED ONTO THORN AND THEN HUNG UPSIDE DOWN IN THEIR USUAL CELEBRATORY ROUTINE. Hudson: "Chalk another one up for Kevin Thorn who will have to be considered one of the favorites in this tournament, PJ". Cash: "Without a doubt.... in fact, my money, which you know I have a lot of, is on him". Hudson: "Well we still have one qualification match remaining, maybe you'll change that bet". BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW JOE COREY WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE SHOWN PROMINENTLY ON HIS SHOULDER. HE HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE AND SURPRISINGLY, NEARLY EVERYONE IN THE ARENA CHEERS FOR HIM. HE STOPS WHEN HE SEES EDGE. Joe Corey: "Hey there..... former champ". Edge: "Ya know, I've always found it funny when someone has failed over and over.... and over again.... has the gumption to brag about it when they finally get there". Joe Corey: "You know you get no rematch, right"? Edge: "Not right away, but I'll get that belt back. It's just a matter of who I take it from. Tonight, I get to pulverize Evan Bourne, so I'll focus on that..... for now". EDGE WALKS AWAY AND COREY GOES THE OTHER DIRECTION, COMING UPON THE EMPIRE SUITE. HE ENTERS THE ROOM AND MATT MORGAN, CARNEY, ALBA RIOS AND STEPHANIE McMAHON ARE INSIDE. Joe Corey: "You guys wanted to see me"? Stephanie McMahon: "Yeah..... Travis and Mike are taking care of other business right now, but a number one contenders match between John Cena and a returning former Universal champion will take place here tonight.... they just wanted you to be aware of that". Joe Corey: "As long as I still have my time out there tonight, I could care less. Tonight.... tonight is The Show's night". COREY TURNS AND LEAVES THE ROOM, STILL SMILING. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "ADRENALINE" BY GAVIN ROSSDALE COMES ON AND CAYDEN COLE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. THE CROWD DOESN'T YET SEEM TO KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF HIM. Hudson: "Huge news there.... who do you think is the guy facing John Cena tonight"? Cash: "Well I actually know who it is, but I was sworn to secrecy". Hudson: "In any event, it is now time for the in ring debut of Cayden Cole who we saw at Anarchy Rulz. He definitely seems like someone ready to make an early statement, Cash". Cash: "Well yeah, he came out and interrupted The BoogeySaints at Anarchy Rulz and I'm not quite sure what gave him the right to do that, but I'm still interested in what he can do in the ring". THE HIGHLANDERS ARE SHOWN IN THE RING AND ROBBIE SEEMS TO BE GIVING RORY SOME LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS. Hudson: "Rory McCallister of the Highlanders will be the opposition tonight and someone who could spoil all the hoopla surrounding Cole". Rory McCallister w/ Robbie vs. Cayden Cole Rory went for the attack first in this one but Cole showed his quickness by dropping to one knee and grabbing the right leg of Rory. Rory was hopping around on one leg until Cole used a dragon leg screw to take him down. He then kicked Rory square in the chest. He got Rory to his feet and tried to whip him into the corner but it was reversed and Rory followed in with a hard clothesline. He then grabbed him and went for a running bulldog but Cole pushed out of the move. He then grabbed Ror and slung him into the corner before using his body to perform a bicycle run, much like the famed Tiger Mask used to use. Rory tried to hit a clothesline but Cole ducked and then scored with an incredible superkick. To avoid being covered, Rory rolled out of the ring and Robbie came over to check on him. But Cole wasn't going to give him any time to recuperate, launching himself over the top rope with a corkscrew attack that took out both men! Cole was quickly winning the fans over as he grabbed Rory and rolled him back into the ring. After getting back in himself, he grabbed Rory and delivered a very nice looking reverse STO, rolling him over for the win. Match Time: 5:39 Hudson: "We're told he calls that maneuver Eternal Sunshine but it seems like it turned out all the light for one Rory McCallister". Cash: "That's how you debut.... that was impressive". "ADRENALINE" PLAYED AND REFEREE MARTY ELIAS RAISED COLE's ARM BUT JUST THEN, JUSTIN GABRIEL, VANCE ARCHER AND TYLER REKS WERE IN THE RING. Hudson: "What's this about"? COLE LOOKED AT THE MEN FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE SLOWLY LEAVING THE RING. Cash: "Those are the guys that came in with the New Superstar Package but what do they want with Cole"? Hudson: "Well at Anarchy Rulz we saw Cayden Cole bail as soon as these guys joined the party so it appears to me that he is trying to avoid them.... but why"? COMMERCIAL BREAK....... COMMERCIALS FOR BOTH ENERGIZER BATTERIES AND PEPSI ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... EMPIRE SUITE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, MARK HENRY AND CHAOS WOLF ARE IN THE EMPIRE SUITE ALONG WITH MONICA. MONEY MIKE IS SITTING IN FRONT OF THEM AT HIS DESK WHILE STEPHANIE McMAHON, CARNEY, MATT MORGAN AND ALBA RIOS CAN BE SEEN SITTING ON SOME COUCHES IN FRONT OF A FIRE, TALKING. HENRY HAS A FIRM GRIP ON MONICA's ARM. Money Mike: "So let me get this straight. You guys kidnapped Monica and are refusing to give her back unless The BoogeySaints agree to unify the tag team belts"? Chaos Wolf: "That's exactly right. They want to call themselves the greatest tag team of all time.... this will be their chance". Money Mike: "I like it. And I agree with it. So at DoomsDay, it will happen". Mark Henry: "And what about her (referring to Monica) Money Mike: "Oh, her..... you can just....... A voice can be heard across the room Voice: "She's free to leave". THE CAMERA MOVES OVER TO SHOW TRAVIS WAKEMAN HOLDING THE DOOR TO THE SUITE OPEN. HENRY RELEASES MONICA AND SHE QUICKLY LEAVES. Money Mike: "The two of you are free to go as well". WOLF AND HENRY LEAVE THE ROOM, BOTH GLARING AT WAKEMAN BEFORE EXITING. WAKEMAN SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND THEM. Travis Wakeman: "Now get this place ready..... Rockwell should be here any minute". "FROM THE INSIDE" BY DEPSWA COMES ON AND CALEB WEBER COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION, SLAPPING HANDS WITH FANS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. Hudson: "So after all of that, the tag team titles will be unified at DoomsDay". Cash: "And I like the decision.... now Monica can run all the way back to Boogeyland and tell that to her boys". Hudson: "This will be the final King of the Ring qualification match and in the only other match Caleb Weber has had in the TWF, all he did was bring the career of Shane Thompson to an end". Cash: "And you have to think that's why he's getting this opportunity tonight". "BARBIE GIRL" BY AQUA COMES ON AS A PINK CORVETTE PULLS OUT FROM THE BACKSTAGE AREA. KEN DOLL IS DRIVING AND LACEY VON ERICH IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. Hudson: "Oh no, not these two.... would you sit down"! PJ CASH IS SHOWN DANCING AT THE BROADCAST TABLE. Cash: "Are you kidding?! This guy is great"! DOLL PARKS THE CORVETTE AND GETS OUT. HE IS WEARING A WHITE SHIRT WITH A PINK SCARF AND BLUE JEANS. LACEY GETS OUT AS WELL AND SHE SEEMS VERY GIDDY. Hudson: "Caleb Weber seems less than impressed". Cash: "Hey, you can say what you want, but Ken Doll is an incredibly accomplished competitor... this should be good". King of the Ring Qualification Match Caleb Weber vs. Ken Doll w/ Lacey Von Erich The bell sounded but Doll was still removing all of his garments. He continually asked referee Aaron Mahoney to keep Weber back. He then tried to run at him but Weber used a drop toehold and locked up Doll's legs. After turning him over, Weber seemed to be looking for a Cloverleaf but Doll pushed him away with his feet and got up, catching him with a dropkick. After some right hands, Doll whipped Weber to the ropes and went for a leapfrog but Weber was able to snatch him out of the air and deliver a huge powerslam. After a basement dropkick, Weber got Doll up and delivered a belly to belly suplex. Worried, Lacey went running to the corvette. She popped the trunk and was rummaging around. In the ring, Weber kept Doll on the mat with a reverse chin lock. But he saw Lacey walking back towards the ring with a curling iron. He pointed this out to Mahoney warned Lacey to get rid of it. But when Weber went back to Doll, he caught a vicious lowblow. Doll then landed a version of the Fame-asser before going to the top rope. Doll stood up in the corner looking out to the crowd before blowing a kiss and coming off with an incredible guillotine legdrop. He then went into the cover and got the 1...............2................3. Match Time: 4:08 Hudson: "The distraction by Barbie..... I'm sorry, Lacey.... has allowed Ken Doll to win this thing"! Cash: "A brilliant use of the lovely Ms. Von Erich there and did you see the air he got on that legdrop"?! "BARBIE GIRL" PLAYED AGAIN AS KEN AND LACEY GOT BACK INTO THE CORVETTE AND THREW IT INTO REVERSE, LEAVING AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED. Hudson: "Brilliant use? This was a big upset in my mind.... Weber had this clown beat easily"! Cash: "Well the field is set and my understanding is that directly following PrimeTime, TWF.com will make the bracket available for the first round matches". Hudson: "Eight men who all have an equal opportunity to be king.... it should be a very interesting tournament". BACKSTAGE.... EMPIRE SUITE...... TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SITTING AT A TABLE WHICH HAS BEEN SET UP WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL ENTERS THE ROOM. Travis Wakeman: "Just like you wanted..... I'm here alone..... take a seat". ROCKWELL PULLS UP A CHAIR AND SITS DOWN. Is there something you want to say to me, Mr. Rockwell"? Jordan Rockwell: "After all these years, that's the greeting I get from you"? Wakeman: "You're the employee, I'm the employer. Yes, that's the greeting you get". Rockwell: "I came here tonight to talk to you about two things..... your boy Carney and DoomsDay". Wakeman: "Ah let me see, you want another match with him, right"? Rockwell: Duh..... that would be why I mentioned DoomsDay, schmuck. Ya see since this whole thing began I've been doing things The Empire's way under The Empire's rules and conditions but now, I think it's about time that the shoe is on the other foot and I get a gesture of good faith. But don't worry, since I'm me, I don't want a freebie so I have a business proposition for you..... boss". Wakeman: (massaging his forehead) "Whatever, let's hear it". Rockwell: "This coming Main Event I will let Carney pick my match..... either an extreme rules match with Matt Morgan or a two on one handicapped match against those two little girls Henning and Wade and in exchange, I get to pick the stipulation for the rematch between Carney and I at DoomsDay". Wakeman: "Intresting...... even in your current beaten up and broken state, you're still looking to fight? With those stitches in your head, you're still looking for a fight. I have to admit, I've always admired that foolish pride and will of yours so tell you what, I'll take it under advisement and get back to you". Rockwell: "Whoa whoa whoa............. get back to me my ass! It's really simple, you either agree or disagree, unless you're incapable of making decision on your own in which case you are unfit to lead a multibillion dollar corporation in which case........
Wakeman: (obviously upset) "I know the damn guidelines..... And since you're so gung-ho for an answer, then your challenge is accepted"!
Rockwell: "Now, I'd like deal with some other stuff and now seems about right".
Wakeman: "You are really starting to try my patience".
Rockwell: (grins) "There he is..... the technical magician starting to come out with the glare on his face and the base in his voice like he wants to do something, but the problem is this suit and all this other crap is exactly that ain't it? Yeah that's it! All a smoke screen and all a bunch of smoke and mirrors to fool everyone"!
Wakeman: "Who the hell do you think you are"?!
Rockwell: "You have everyone else fooled, all the fans, the boys and divas in the back, the crew and hell even you're own precious Empire.... all of them are believing this illusion, but not me because out of all else I see right through you. I've known since the second all this began! So tell me, have the questions been asked yet? Oh yeah I'm sure they have with you and Mike and that half priced hooker Stephanie, but i bet the real kick in the groin is when your own wife asks".
Wakeman is obviously getting upset and seems to know what Rockwell is talking about, but he composes himself.
Wakeman: "I don't answer to you, nor do I answer to anyone else. This is my company now and you answer to me..... as does everyone else".
ROCKWELL STANDS UP FROM HIS SEAT, READY TO CONCLUDE THE INTERVIEW.
Rockwell: "Funny thing about smoke and mirrors is that sometimes.... the mirror gets broken".
Wakeman: "Get..... the hell..... out"! ROCKWELL LEAVES THE ROOM AND WAKEMAN IS OBVIOUSLY ANGRY. "BOURNE TO FLY" PLAYS AND EVAN BOURNE COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. Hudson: "Wow, Jordan Rockwell really pressing the boss there". Cash: "Jordan Rockwell is a complete and utter fool. Not only has he been beaten down and embarrassed by The Empire.... he seems to be begging for his pink slip". Hudson: "Well he got what he wanted and that was another match against Carney at DoomsDay but first, Carney will get to put him in a match on Main Event". "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON. Cash: "Wait.... there's Edge"! Hudson: "He's coming out of the crowd"! EDGE GETS INTO THE RING AND ATTACKS BOURNE FROM BEHIND. BOURNE STILL HAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST, WHICH EDGE RIPS OFF. HE THEN CONVINCES REFEREE SCOTT ARMSTRONG TO RING THE BELL TO START THE MATCH. Non-Title Match Edge vs. Intercontinental Champ: Evan Bourne Bourne was shaken from the early attack and Edge was just waiting for him to get up. Armstrong grabbed the IC title to get it out of the way just as Edge barreled over Bourne with the spear. Edge covered him, hooking the leg to get the 3 count. Cash: "We may have just seen history! That may've been the quickest match in TWF history"! Hudson: "But it never should've been a match and I'm really surprised Scott Armstrong allowed the match to even happen! He's the official and he's a good one, but I have to question that call". Cash: "Twenty three seconds is the official time.... we'll have to check with one of our statisticians but I think Edge may have just made history"! Hudson: "We heard Edge say that he will get back into that Universal title picture and with this match being officially a twenty three second win over the Intercontinental champion, he probably has done just that! We'll be right back"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR GATORDADE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DIRECT TV. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN PRIMETIME RETURNS, JOE COREY IS SHOWN WALKING AND HE APPEARS TO BE HEADED OUT INTO THE ARENA WHEN MATT HARDY STEPS IN HIS PATH, HOLDING THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE. Matt Hardy: "I reminded Edge every chance I got that I have this (pats the briefcase) and I'll do the same to you. I can make you a former champion in the blink of an eye". COREY QUICKLY MOVES UP AND GRABS HARDY BY THE THROAT. Joe Corey: "Don't do dare try to throw that in my face tonight you son of a bitch! Now get outta my way........ COREY PUSHES HARDY ASIDE AND CONTINUES ON.
"Amazing" hits and "The Show' Joe Corey makes his way to the ring wearing a suit. The Boston crowd is surprisingly more pro-Corey than usual, as this is his hometown. Corey is making his way to the ring in typical Boston Championship fashion, riding a Duck Boat to the ring as all the other champions over the years in Boston have. When Corey gets into the ring, he unbuttons his suit jacket to reveal the TWF Universal Championship belt around his waist.
Hudson: "It seems like this is the moment this audience has been waiting for..... the Universal champ is finally Joe Corey"! Cash: "I have my trials and tribulations with this man but I can attest to the fact that he wanted that belt more than he wanted to take his next breath some days".
Joe Corey: "Two hundred and fourteen days. That is how long it took me to win the TWF King of Cable after I came here. One thousand and eight days. That is how long it took me to become the King of the Ring. And finally there is two thousand, five hundred and eighty-nine days. That is how long it took me to get to last Anarchy Rulz. That is how long it took me to finally reach my destiny. That his how long it took me to get this, (raises up the Universal Championship) my first TWF World Championship!
The crowd starts to cheer more
But on a more serious note, I realize that this happened because I got one last chance to make it happen. And with that said, at this time, there is a specific group of people that I need to thank. If it were not for these people, I would not have been in the position to capture the holy grail that I have been looking to grab for so long. So at this time, damn this is so out of character for me, I need to thank the people that made this possible..... The Empire". Hudson: "The Empire"?
The entire crowd boos
What? Oh, you thought that I was talking about you fans? Aww, that's so cute. You thought I was going to thank you for all those votes you made at Anarchy Rulz? C'mon, really? Who else were you going to vote for? John Cena? I have already proven that he is not worthy of holding this championship. I know who was responsible, and that was The Empire. They put me into that voting, and they gave me that opportunity to finally capture this belt. Once I was in the voting, I knew that the title match was mine. The problem for Edge was that he did not think I would be there, and he took me lightly. And Edge, if you have learned anything from your past with me, it is that you should never have taken me lightly. That and you should learn to read contracts. You see if you think that you are getting a rematch for MY championship, you are sadly mistaken. That's because the contract you signed for Anarchy Rulz, you didn't know who you were signing it against, and therefore, you didn't have a rematch clause put into it. With that said, I am not going to grant you a title shot until I am told that I am required to.
Crowd starts a "Corey sucks" chant
Now, onto something a little more important. On September 16, 2005, I had my first shot at a TWF World Championship. On that night, I was screwed out of the title by a man who I thought was my best friend. That man was Money Mike. The two of us went on to have an intense feud, with me trying to prove to the world that Mike was wrong about his feelings about me. Mike felt that I was too focused on winning a championship, and that I wasn't ready for that position. At the time, I felt he was wrong. I ended up with a broken fibula, and I was out of action. When I came back, all of you people were on my side and I have to admit, that was good. But the problem was, I became too focused on winning you people over than I was about business. That cost me a WrestleMania match with Mike, and it has cost me my focus for a long time. In the back of my mind, I always felt that I could win you fans over with my abilities in this ring. Well you know what, in the end, I have to admit that Money Mike was right all along. That is why at this time, I would like to ask Money Mike to come to this ring".
After a short period of silence, "Rollin" hits and Money Mike along with Stephanie McMahon come walking to the ring. Hudson: "And it looks like he's gonna get his wish". Cash: "Is there anyway we can just sit back and watch this...... I don't think there's any need for words".
Joe Corey: "Mike, it has been a long time since the two of us have been on the same page. A lot has happened between us, both good and bad. With that said, winning this championship has made me realize a lot of things, and one of those is that when a friend is right, you have to admit it. So this is me, extending my hand to you, saying you were right all along, and I want to bury the hatchet. What do you say"?
Corey extends his hand to Money Mike
Stephanie McMahon: "First off Corey, just what in the hell do you think you are doing coming out here and saying things like you want to thank The Empire? Then you make a statement about how these idiots here made you lose your focus and that you're here tonight to make amends with this man here?
The fans start to boo McMahon and a small "Corey" chant can be heard.
The same man who paved the way for guys like you, guys like Sebastian Cain, and many, many others. You think for one second that what you have done is going to clear this up? Well Mike, what do you have to say to that"?
Chants of Corey and many loud boos are heard
Money Mike: "You know sweetheart, there are only two words I can say to that.... and that is Corey (a serious look on Mike’s face turns to a smile) give me a hug!
The arena fills with boos as Joe Corey and Money Mike hug.
You people need to shut your mouths and show some respect. (More boos shower Mike) This right here is what it is all about, being the man and proving it. (Mike takes off his suit jacket) You people need to listen and listen good to what I have to say. (Mike looks at Corey) I have waited years to tell you how proud I was of you, but you cannot stop here. You do not need these idiots from, where the hell are we tonight"?
Stephanie McMahon: (in a very unenthusiastic tone) "Boston........
Money Mike: "Really? Wow I thought a team that is really good in the NBA would be represented by a better city than this crap hole (Loud boos continue) Anyway Corey, I do not want you to lose focus, because you are the Universal Champion now. This is just a piece of what you should be. Pave a way of destruction, eliminate the competition and make people remember who you are and what your name represents. Only then will you truly be a God of this sport, just like Travis and I are".
More boos continue as a chant of "This is Bullshit" begins.
Bullshit? Are you idiots serious? You do not make a chant like that when you are in the presence of greatness. (More boos continue) No, you make that when that idiot Jordan Rockwell and his band of whatever the hell he calls them is out here. Corey, I extend my hand in burying the hatchet with you and give you the backing of The Empire whenever you need to call upon us, but make no mistake about it, you carry this company on your shoulder now and you represent us, not the TWF".
Money Mike extends his hand and he and Joe Corey shake hands and hug again as "Amazing" hits again and Mike and Corey share comments between themselves. Hudson: "Did that make any sense to you whatsoever? So the big coup was to come here and crap all over these people here in Boston?! Well mission accomplished"! Cash: "I don't know what to make of it myself, but if I were to wager a guess, it's that Joe Corey is being the usual snake in the grass he's always been..... and making sure he has some sort of backup plan". BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TRISH STRATUS WALKING THROUGH A REMOTE PART OF THE ARENA. Trish Stratus: "Undertakerrrrrrr..... come out and play Undertakerrrrrr. Oh, lemme guess, you're gonna strike me down with a bolt of lightning"? TRISH GIGGLES TO HERSELF BUT BECOMES VERY SERIOUS WHEN SHE TURNS TO SEE JORDAN ROCKWELL. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey Trish.... hey, don't be scared". Trish: "Hey Jordan, how's Lita these days"? Jordan Rockwell: "Never mind that. I just wanted to tell you that The Undertaker is closer than ever and so am I to cracking the armor of The Empire. See, I talked to your lovely husband tonight and....... Trish: "You really are stupid, aren't you? When will it sink in that you can't touch The Empire"? Jordan Rockwell: "Look, I gotta run, but have good night, Trish". ROCKWELL WALKS OFF WHEN A SHADOW APPEARS IN THE LIGHT ON THE WALL. THE FIGURE IS WEARING A HAT AND TRISH TURNS TO SEE IT, FALLING TO THE SEAT OF HER PANTS AND SHE SEEMS VERY SCARED. THE SHADOW THEN DISAPPEARS, BUT TRISH IS VISIBLY SHAKEN. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE "THE TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A SURPRISINGLY LOUD POP. Hudson: "Ya know, PJ, in all the talk about the hometown return of Joe Corey, this man is from this area too and listen to this reaction"! PJ Cash: "I'd have to say this is one of the loudest cheers John Cena has ever gotten". Hudson: "This will be a number one contender's match, but we still don't know who the opponent will be for Cena"! AFTER A MOMENT, THE THEME OF CHRIS MASTERS STARTED UP. A SURPRISED REACTION EMANATED FROM THE AUDIENCE AS "THE MASTERPIECE" WAS SHOWN KNEELING AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE. HE STOOD UP AND WENT INTO HIS IMPRESSIVE POSING, SHOWING OFF HIS CHISELED FRAME. Cash: "Chris Masters"? Hudson: "Wow, how long has it been since we've seen this man?! Chris Masters is back in the TWF and he has a chance to jump right into the title picture"! Cash: "Yeah he's been out recovering from a completely torn rotator cuff, but he looks better than ever"! #1 Contender for the Universal Title John Cena vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters Masters got into the ring and encouraged Cena to lock up with him. Not to be outdone, Cena tied up with him but was pushed into the corner. Masters then landed a heavy forearm to the chest before pulling him out for n irish whip, only to throw him right back into the same corner. Masters then locked in a variation of a bear hug, looking to sap Cena's energy supply. But Cena showed his own strength, actually pulling the arms of The Masterpiece apart. He then ran the ropes but Masters responded with a swinging axe handle to the face. That shot knocked Cena for a loop and Masters tried to pull him up into the "Masterlock" but Cena grabbed a foot, tripping him up and going into the STF! Masters was in trouble, but he was close enough to the ropes that he was able to earn a break. But Cena was feeding off the crowd and when Masters got up, Cena laced into him with right hands. Masters couldn't do much to defend this assault but he was finally able to get a kick low before running the ropes. But after he came off them, Cena scooped him up onto his shoulders and delivered a thunderous "F-U" to get the 1............2...............3! Match Time: 4:20 Hudson: "Cena has done it..... Cena is the number one contender"! Cash: "And listen to this crowd...... Cena finally seems...... liked". CENA FOUND A FAN IN THE CROWD WEARING A NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS #12 TOM BRADY JERSEY AND HE WENT OVER TO HIM AND THE TWO BOTH HELD UP 1 FINGER TO THE CAMERA. FROM THERE, CENA WENT OVER TO THE DUCK BOAT, WHICH WAS STILL ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP, AND HE WENT INSIDE IT, HOLDING UP HIS ARMS IN VICTORY AS "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED. JOE COREY CAME OUT ON THE STAGE AND LOOKED UP AT HIS NEXT CHALLENGER, THEIR EYES LOCKING. Hudson: "Joe Corey, take a look at the man you will be defending that title against next"! Cash: "It will be another chapter in the already storied rivalry between these two men". Hudson: "It was a homecoming tonight alright! A homecoming for John Cena"! OFF AIR.........
