Attendance: 15,178
May 30, 2011
Another monstrous crowd poured into the Toyota Center in Houston for the first PrimeTime following the Royal Rumble. With the key cogs of The Empire still vacationing in Mexico, fans were clamoring as to how wild things would get in their absence.
Ken Doll w/ Lacey Von Erich vs. Blitzkrieg Ken Doll and his pink Corvette started this show but Blitzkrieg had plans to ruin he and Lacey's fun times. Blitzkrieg hit Doll with several high impact moves and after a tornado DDT laid him out, Blitzkrieg came off the top rope with an incredible rounding splash. He made the cover and got 1.......2............, but that was it. Feeling she needed to do something, Lacey got up on the apron and started to move her body in a very sensual dance, mesmerizing the masked man. Doll was able to nail Blitzkrieg from behind and after a reverse slingshot suplex, he had things well in hand. Doll got Blitzkrieg up and delivered a vicious rolling neckbreaker to get the 3 count.
Zack Ryder vs. Silver Wolf Silver Wolf knew he needed to get back in the winning column but Zack Ryder wasn't planning on helping him with that. The action went back and forth but Ryder grabbed control after hitting a release german suplex. Silver Wolf was pulled up and whipped to the corner but when Ryder ran in, he was put down with a kick to the face. Silver Wolf followed with a clothesline when strangely, the crowd started to get behind Ryder. This also seemed to throw the former Lightheavyweight champion off his game. He got Ryder up in position for a Canadian backbreaker but Ryder slipped free and used a backslide to pin Silver Wolf, sending him to yet another loss.
Sin Cara vs. Gregory Helms Gregory Helms seems to be in a freefall after being kicked to the curb by Velvet Sky and that didn't change here against the red hot Sin Cara. Sin Cara dazzled the crowd with several headscissor takedowns and a hurricanrana before catching Helms with a missile dropkick off the top rope. Sin Cara then went to the apron and used the ropes to slingshot into the ring, getting amazing height and just falling on Helms with a splash that led to a 3 count.
AS SIN CARA CELEBRATED WITH THE CROWD, THE STAGE WAS BEING SET FOR PRIMETIME TO TAKE THE AIR ON FOX. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
A TERRIFIC PYRO DISPLAY STARTS THE SHOW AND THE CAMERA PANS THE ARENA STANDS, SHOWING THOUSANDS OF FANS EXCITED AND READY FOR TWF ACTION.
"Amazing" by Kanye West hits and "The Show" Joe Corey comes out to the ring to a chorus of boos.
Scott Hudson: "Hello everyone and welcome to TWF PrimeTime live on FOX! We are in Houston, Texas and you won't believe who is calling the action with me tonight"!
THE CAMERA MOVES FROM SCOTT HUDSON AND SHOWS NONE OTHER THAN MICHAEL COLE WITH A VERY BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE.
Michael Cole: "That's right, it's me. But it's a different Michael Cole that you're going to get from now on! I'm back to do what I do best and I have a chip on my shoulder. That's because after calling TWF PrimeTime my home for years...... for YEARS.... I was let go in favor of this goof Scott Hudson! Ya, it'll be a different Michael Cole alright"!
Hudson: "Well we're startin' things out tonight with the reigning Universal champion who defended the title not once, but twice at the Royal Rumble"!
Cole: "And I hope that has opened the eyes of some of our viewers! Because similar to myself, Joe Corey has always failed to get the respect for being better than anyone else at what he does"!
The champion enters the ring in his trademark black suit with the TWF Universal Championship belt draped over his shoulder.
Joe Corey: "There are a lot of people that live by the thought that someone is not really a champion until they have successfully defended their championship. Those that believe that anyone can have a lucky night, but to be able to defend the championship proves that they do indeed deserve to claim to be champion. Well if that is the case, then I have laid all of those doubts to bed after the Royal Rumble. That is because that night, I successfully defended my championship, not once, but twice in one night. For weeks I have been hearing Matt Hardy come out here and claim that he is going to take this championship from me. Hell he has even teased cashing in that WrestleMania Jackpot title shot a couple of times already, just to get into my head. Well we all saw what happened when he cried wolf too many times. I mean Matt, you disappoint me. I can’t believe you were so easily sucked into my trap. I knew that you were just itching to cash in that briefcase, and that you were going to do it against whoever walked out of that match at the Rumble, be it Kevin Thorn or myself, and attempt to steal this title. That is why I baited you in with my, umm, shoulder injury. You couldn't resist the opportunity to try to steal this title from me. You couldn't be a man, Hardy, and come at me like a real challenger. That's because you knew that inside of these ropes, you can't touch me. So sometime when you grow a set and you've moved back up that ladder, give me a shout and maybe I'll be gracious enough to grant you a real shot at this prestigious championship. Now, onto other pressing matters. In the last couple of months, I have heard a lot of chatter from not only the fans, but certain people in the locker room who feel that I don't deserve to be holding this championship. Do I have to remind those people of my resume? I have made a career out of not just winning championships, but holding them longer than anyone else has. I have been on the top of this business since the day I stepped foot into the TWF, yet there are people who feel that I don't deserve to be in the main event. Well you know what, those people can all go to Hell, because no one is going to be taking this title away from me for a long time. In the past, I cared more about proving to the world that I was the best wrestler in the world. I busted my ass to put on great matches for the fans to show them that I was as good as I said I was. Well you know what, this time is different. I don't need to do anything to prove to anyone that I am the best in this business. That is what this belt right here does for me. This belt proves that I am the best. And as long as I am holding this belt, I will do anything, and I mean anything to keep it. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. Be it underhanded, be it down right wrong, I will do anything and everything that it takes to keep this title. And if you don't like it..... well then sorry..... about your damn luck"!
"AMAZING" COMES ON AGAIN AND COREY LEAVES THE RING AS THE CROWD IS STILL BOOING.
Cole: "And I agreed with every single word of that and I sure as heck hope that Corey has made a believer out of you, Hudson!"
Hudson: "I felt like all I did was argue with my previous broadcast partner so let's just do our best to work together and get along".
COMMERCIAL BREAK......... COMMERCIALS FOR COCA COLA AND AMERICAN AIRLINES ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" COMES ON AND CHRIS JERICHO IS MET WITH MOSTLY ALL BOOS WHEN HE COMES OUT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Hudson: "Welcome back to PrimeTime and if you weren't able to join us for the Royal Rumble, Chris Jericho became the new Intercontinental champion by defeating Evan Bourne in a great match"! Cole: "Great match?! What was great about it?! Jericho defeated Bourne in two consecutive falls..... he dominated him.... made Evan Bourne look like a chump"! Hudson: "Bourne made a mistake that cost him big time in that match and the calculating veteran Jericho took advantage". "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR PLAYS AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. WITH HIM IS BRODUS CLAY. Cole: "I can't wait for what we have coming up after this match because we're gonna hear from your former broadcast partner, PJ Cash! I can't wait to hear him say that your horrible commentating is what drove him to enter that Royal Rumble match and nearly win it"! Hudson: "Just keep rambling on Cole and you'll win the favor of everyone like you did the first time you were here. But let's focus on this match, shall we? This is a big opportunity for Chaos Wolf here. It's a non-title match but a win here would throw him right into the mix for that belt". Cole: "I'd be much more interested in seeing Brodus Clay come over here and have you for dinner"! (laughter follows from Cole) Non-Title Match Chaos Wolf w/ Brodus Clay vs. Intercontinental Champion: Chris Jericho The bell sounded and Jericho was clearly heard saying "This punk doesn't deserve to be in the ring with me"! Seconds later, Wolf dropped him with a right hand. He followed that up by getting Jericho up, whipping him to the ropes and hitting a big back body drop. Jericho got up but Wolf tagged him with another stiff punch. He went for another irish whip but Jericho reversed it and kicked Wolf in the abdomen. After a big European uppercut, he shot Wolf to the ropes for a dropkick that was on the money. Jericho looked like he wanted to run the ropes for his trademark Lionsault maneuver. But he saw Brodus Clay on that side of the ring and thought better of it. Jericho dropped Wolf with an inziguri when he got up before running the ropes and inexplicably drilling Clay with a baseball slide that knocked him into the announce position. Clay came back at the ring, trying to get in, but referee Charles Robinson stopped him. But with the ref's back to the action, Wolf kicked Jericho right in the groin and delivered a heavy DDT. Robinson turned to see Wolf pick Jericho up and deliver a nasty jumping reverse STO, driving Jericho's face into the mat. He rolled him over and covered him for the 1............2..............3! Match Time: 3:41 Cole: "Oh wow, I can't believe that, that's an upset"! Hudson: "I'm not sure why Jericho felt it necessary to involve big Brodus Clay, but it worked into the favor of Chaos Wolf"! "REMEMBER THE NAME" PLAYED AS CLAY AND WOLF WENT UP THE RAMP, CELEBRATING THE BIG WIN. Cole: "Well later tonight we have a fatal four way elimination match scheduled where the winner will receive a future Intercontinental title shot". Hudson: "And with that and this win for Chaos Wolf, the title picture has become very murky. The new champion Jericho may have some problems here". JERICHO IS SHOWN WITH A LOOK OF DISBELIEF IN THE RING AS HE WATCHES CHAOS WOLF AND BRODUS CLAY LEAVE. BACKSTAGE........ IN THE BACK, EVE TORRES IS SHOWN WALKING WHEN MONICA COMES UP. Monica: "Hey..... Eve". EVE WALKS OVER Eve: "Yeah"? Monica: "Our boys will be on the same team tonight and I just want to make sure you're not going to bring your drama out there. The goal is to......... Eve: "What? What drama are you referring to"? Monica: "Oh come on.... everyone knows there's some little blonde skank here on PrimeTime that wants your man! But the goal is for us to send a message to The Empire". Eve: "And that's what Caleb plans to do tonight. He doesn't even........ Monica: "All I'm saying is if it becomes a problem and interferes with what we're here to do....... you'll deal with me". MONICA WALKS AWAY AND EVE JUST SHAKES HER HEAD. The scene shifts back to ringside, where the lights begin flickering, and PJ Cash makes his way out to his new theme song, "Hysteria" by Muse. He is dressed to the nines in a custom made Armani suit. The crowd shows their disapproval with unanimous boos throughout the arena. Cash has a briefcase in his right hand, as he confidently makes his way down the aisle. Cole: "Here he comes..... oh boy this should be good"! Hudson: "I can't believe I'm saying it, but my former broadcast partner came within an eyelash of winning the Royal Rumble and main eventing WrestleMania"!
Cash enters the ring, which now has a table that resembles one used for conferences, as he soaks in the jeers from the fans. He grabs a microphone and has a huge smile on his face.
PJ Cash: "You know what... can't say that I expected anything different from you people. The same people that I have provided insightful and witty commentary to for months. However, just like your beloved Houston Oilers, that is history. (This draws a loud boo) Now, here I am, in the middle of the ring, coming off what was almost the single biggest moment in my life. That's right, I almost won the Royal Rumble. Almost being the operative word. Thanks to CM Punk, I won't be headlining Wrestlemania 12.
Fans in attendance cheer at that statement
Cash: And although I was cheated out of my destiny on that particular night, you all must be wondering... what is it that made the Primetime Prodigy lace up his boots once again? Clearly, I don't need the money. The watch around my wrist cost about as much as the mortgage on your mobile homes. You see, while I was sitting behind the broadcast position with Scott Hudson, watching him eat his boogers and scratch his ass, I was also watching the stars of Primetime very... very closely. I analyzed and took notes on each and every one of them. Not only am I a financial wizard and a mogul, I am a student of the game as well. Not to mention the fact that I am now extremely well rested. Obviously, as you could see at the Royal Rumble, ring rust will not be a factor. As far as why I am back, well, it's about personal fulfillment. I have lofty goals here in the TWF, and when I left, there was a void in my life. Even though I so greatly enjoyed beating up celebrities and an overpaid crybaby athlete, that is not what I am here for.
Cash flips open the briefcase, which clearly has a very large sum of money inside.
Inside this case is fifty-thousand dollars of my own personal money. For you math majors out there, that is more than most people make in a whole year. Not too long ago I realized that things around here have been getting kind of boring, so leave it to the Million Dollar Mogul to up the ante. I am now laying down the gauntlet. From here on out until Wrestlemania 12, I am going to be taking on all comers, anyone who thinks they have what it takes to defeat me, could possibly walk away with fifty thousand dollars in cold hard cash. So, on the next episode of Primetime, whoever walks out from behind that curtain will be the first to tackle the PJ Cash Fifty Thousand Dollar Challenge! Good luck..... you're all going to need it"! "HYSTERIA" PLAYS AGAIN AS CASH LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA, POINTING DOWN AT THE STACKS OF CASH INSIDE THE BRIEFCASE. Cole: "Wow..... now that is how you make a comeback"! Hudson: "I wasn't eating my boogers or....... ah whatever..... I hope someone comes out here on the next PrimeTime and humbles this guy...... takes all that money"! Cole: "I love the idea and I can imagine that some of the guys in the back love the idea of a chance at a huge payday too"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........... A COMMERCIAL FOR VITAMIN WATER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A TRAILER FOR "THE HANGOVER PART 2". RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE....... Invitational Tag Team Tournament 1st Round The Uso's w/ Tamina vs. Tyler Reks and Vance Archer The tournament to determine a number one contender to The BoogeySaints rolled on here and this one turned into an all out brawl from the opening bell. Archer battled with Jimmy Uso while Reks traded blows with the other Samoan twin. Archer was able to slow Jimmy down with some heavy blows but after he backed up and charged in, Jimmy pulled the top rope down and the big man flopped over the ropes. Reks was in a battle with Jey until Jimmy nailed him from behind. The Uso's then drilled Reks with a double superkick. Jey covered T-Reks and had the 3 count but referee Marty Elias ushered Jimmy out of the ring first. He then turned to make the count, which by this point would be up to about 7 or 8, but Reks kicked out at 2. Jey Uso pulled the "Dreadlock Demolition Man" to his feet and whipped him to the ropes for a big dropkick. He went for another cover but again could only hold Reks down for a 2 count. Jey made the tag to his brother who went to the top rope, taking Reks out with a crossbody. But somehow, Reks rolled through it and nearly pinned Jimmy. Both men were on their feet and Reks kicked Jimmy in the abdomen before shooting him to the ropes, catching him with a merciless powerslam. Reks was then able to make the tag to Archer who ran across the ring and clubbed Jey with a running forearm. Tamina got up on the apron and seemed to be challenging Archer, allowing Jimmy to come from behind with an attack. He then went for an irish whip but Archer turned it around into a big full nelson slam, dumping Jimmy right on his head. He then got one half of the Samoan tandem up and delivered his "Mask of Sanity" finisher. Covering Jimmy, Archer got the 3 count and the win for his team. Match Time: 2:18 Cole: "Well we've made it through nearly every first round match here in this invitational tag team tournament and I don't know that we've seen a more impressive performance than that one"! Hudson: "You mean.......... Cole: "Yes you fool..... I've been following the shows because I knew all along this company would need me again"! Hudson: (laughs) "Well all jokes aside, Michael, this team here that operates within the group Rising United, Reks and Archer, could pose a bit of a threat to the tag team champions if it ever came down to that, in my mind". BACKSTAGE...... CALEB WEBER IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM GETTING LOOSE FOR HIS MATCH WHEN THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Caleb Weber: "It's open....... THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND IN WALKS VELVET SKY, UNBELIEVABLY WEARING A 2 PIECE BIKINI. Caleb Weber: "Oh wow, I didn't know this arena had a swimming pool". VELVET SEEMS SURPRISED BY HIS COMMENT BUT CARRIES ON. Velvet Sky: "Um.... it doesn't, but you have to like what you see, right"? Caleb Weber: "Look Velvet, I don't want to go over this again. I have a big match to get ready for here". Velvet Sky: "Are you kidding me?! You're really gonna choose Eve over me..... when I'm like a hundred times better looking than her"? Caleb Weber: "Look, Velvet, calm down..... it's nothing personal, but I told you that Eve and I were serious". VELVET LOOKS AT CALEB AND IS NOT HAPPY BEFORE LEAVING THE ROOM. BACK TO THE RING, BETH PHOENIX's MUSIC COMES ON AND THE "GLAMAZON" GETS A POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "We've got divas action coming up here and this is a match I have been looking forward to seeing"! Hudson: "Phew.... I still can't get over what Velvet Sky was wearing". Cole: "Oh get real, Hudson, like you'd have any kinda chance with a woman like that"! Hudson: "Ya know, I think I may have liked PJ Cash better than this". Cole: "Beth Phoenix of course drew the ire of The Empire when she was the first person to show support to Jordan Rockwell's Pain Syndicate, whatever the hell that means". Hudson: "But with most of The Empire still on this vacation, most of the ways Alba Rios can defeat the Glamazon are not here". THE EMPIRE THEME COMES ON AND ALBA RIOS COMES OUT AND IS BOOED COMPLETELY. Cole: "Are you saying that Alba can't win this match on her own"? Hudson: "Uh yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying"! Cole: "I take offense to that.... Alba Rios has been great when we've seen here in the ring and in my opinion, she's the favorite here"! Beth Phoenix vs. Alba Rios Alba got into the ring and ran right at Beth but ate a hard right hand. Beth pulled her up for a hard slam and then dropped a heavy leg across her throat and chest. After a snap suplex, Rios was in trouble early. Beth pulled her up and whipped her into the corner, looking for a back handspring into an elbow but Rios moved out of the way. After bouncing off the closet ring ropes, she grabbed the back of Beth's head and delivered a big jumping bulldog. Alba got up and had some harsh words for Beth before again running the ropes and delivering a basement dropkick. Alba was no in firm control of the match, pulling Beth up and slapping her hard across the face. But this seemed to light a fire inside Phoenix and when Alba ran the ropes again, Beth was waiting with a stiff clothesline. She then picked Alba up and delivered a huge jackhammer slam. Beth looked towards the entrance, almost waiting for someone to run out and interfere but turned her attention back to Rios, who was slowly getting to her feet. Beth set up behind her and grabbed her by both arms, lifting her up and planting her with the "Glam Slam". She then rolled her over for what was an easy 3 count leading to the victory. Match Time: 3:45 Hudson: "There ya have it, Cole..... no Empire...... and a loss"! Cole: "Oh that's some analysis..... yeah, great stuff". BETH PHOENIX STOOD UP WITH A VERY SATISFIED LOOK, PEERING DOWN AT RIOS AS REFEREE CHARLES ROBINSON RAISED HER ARM. Hudson: "All I'm doing is pointing out the facts, Michael". Cole: "That should be Mister Cole to you........ PROMO GRAPHICS ARE SHOWN FOR MATCHES STILL TO COME TONIGHT. Hudson: "Fans don't go anywhere because still to come tonight, John Morrison battles the Universal champion Joe Corey"! Cole: "And not only that, Jordan Rockwell looks to settle the score once and for all with The Empire's Matt Morgan when they meet in an I Quit match"! COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... A COMMERCIAL FOR SKITTLES AND ONE FOR "OFF" BUG REPELLENT ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... PRIMETIME RETURNS TO SHOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE RING AND THAT IS MEMBERS OF THE EMPIRE, CRIS HENNING, DEVON WADE AND CARNEY ARE IN THE RING POUNDING ON SAMAIEL. OUTSIDE THE RING, TIFFANIE LOOKS ON AND IS VERY ENCOURAGED BY WHAT SHE SEES. Hudson: "We're back on PrimeTime and during the break, Samaiel came out to the ring for our big six man tag but was jumped by The Empire"! Cole: "Well to me this is exactly what Samaiel had coming to him for having the nerve to stick his nose in The Empire's business"! THE FANS CHEER WHEN CALEB WEBER AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES MAKE THEIR WAY OUT FROM THE BACK. THEY HIT THE RING TO HELP SAMAIEL AND SOON, THE TRIO BEGINS TO OVERTAKE THE EMPIRE. CALEB WEBER PUTS CARNEY DOWN WITH A FISHERMAN BUSTER AND THE SAINT CATCHES WADE WITH A BIG KICK TO THE FACE. HENNING RUNS IN AND GETS A SHOT IN ON WEBER BUT SAMAIEL GRABS HIM AND LAUNCHES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE. JUST THEN, TIFFANIE GETS UP ON THE RING APRON WHEN BOTH EVE TORRES AND MONICA RUN OUT FROM THE BACK. THEY YANK TIFFANIE OFF THE APRON AND MONICA DROPS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND. WADE LEAVES THE RING IN A PANIC TO CHECK ON TIFFANIE BUT HENNING RUSHES OVER TO HER AID AS WELL. THE MATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN THROWN OUT, BUT IN THE RING, WEBER, SAMAIEL AND THE SAINT ARE TAKING TURNS HAMMERING CARNEY TO THE THRILL OF THE CROWD. MONICA AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES, ABLE TO APPEAR ON PRIMETIME DUE TO THE BOOGEYSAINTS HOLDING THE TAG TEAM TITLES, LEFT THE RING FOLLOWED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BY WEBER AND SAMAIEL. THEY ALL SEEMED GOOD ABOUT GETTING THEIR SHOTS IN ON THE EMPIRE. ONCE THEY HAD LEFT, CARNEY GOT UP AND CAME OUTSIDE THE RING, CONFRONTING BOTH WADE AND HENNING. HE SHOVED HENNING WITH BOTH HANDS, KNOCKING HIM TO THE SEAT OF HIS PANTS. WADE CAME OVER TO SETTLE CARNEY DOWN BUT GOT DROPPED WITH A HARSH PUNCH. Hudson: "Carney is taking out his frustrations on fellow members of The Empire"! Cole:" Yeah, and I can't blame Carney.... what are these two guys thinking"?! Hudson: "It seems to me like we're seeing the first chink in the armor of The Empire............ Cole: "I just don't think I'd want to be Wade or Henning when Wakeman, Money Mike and the others return from Mexico"! CARNEY WALKED UP THE RAMP, LEAVING WADE, HENNING AND TIFFANIE DOWN AT RINGSIDE. BACKSTAGE....... LENA YADA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL. THE FANS INSIDE THE ARENA CHEER LOUDLY AT THE SIGHT OF 'THE FRANCHISE'. Lena Yada: "Jordan, tonight you will face Matt Morgan in one of the most dangerous matches in wrestling..... an I Quit match. You two have had some tough battles, how do you see this one going down tonight"? Jordan Rockwell: "Ya know, Lena, Morgan is probably the only member of The Empire I don't have an issue with. I mean, I know he's just doing what he has to do to earn a living, but my message to him would be to get off the ship before it hits the iceberg. I mean, you just saw what happened out there a minute ago, right"? Lena Yada: "Well with a good part of The Empire vacationing, that has to give you some confidence tonight". Jordan Rockwell: "It does, but I've been saving a little something for The Empire and I think tonight is as good a night as I'll get to unveil it". Lena Yada: "Oh really? Well lemme ask you this..... how about the performance by Joe Corey at the Royal Rumble"? Jordan Rockwell: "Honestly, I applaud his efforts..... much respect for that. Not only that, but I appreciate him taking such good care of my belt, but I plan on seeing him real soon...... it's time for that thing to be where it belongs". ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. JOHN MORRISON's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT, RECEIVING A BIG CHEER. Cole: "Can you believe that guy?! I'll tell ya what, in my absence from PrimeTime, that's one thing I certainly didn't miss is Jordan Rockwell"! Hudson: "Rockwell is set to face Matt Morgan in an I Quit match in tonight's main event but right now, let's talk about the chance John Morrison has here. Morrison has a one on one match with the reigning Universal champion". "AMAZING" COMES ON AGAIN AND BOOS AREN'T FAR BEHIND. JOE COREY COMES OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST. HE TAKES THE BELT OFF AS HE APPROACHES THE RING, NOT MOVING HIS EYES FROM MORRISON. Cole: "Yeah, good luck JoMo..... if you ask me, he couldn't have drawn Joe Corey at a worse time! And if he heard that ridiculous comment from Jordan Rockwell a few minutes ago, it's only going to fuel The Show even more"! Hudson: "John Morrison will have to bring his A game and then some tonight but a win over the Universal champion would be huge"! Non-Title Match John Morrison vs. Universal Champion: "The Show" Joe Corey The bell sounded and Morrison looked like he had a plan in mind, running through the match in his head as he and Corey circled one another. Corey finally moved in with a right hand but Morrison avoided it and then nailed Corey with 2 of his own. Morrison went for an irish whip but it was reversed. Corey dropped his head too soon and Morrison made him pay with a kick to the head followed by a discus clothesline. Quickly, Morrison made the cover and could only get a 1 count. He got Corey up and whipped him to the ropes. He locked onto his arm and went for a hip toss but Corey was able to block it. He tried for a hip toss himself but Morrison blocked that and dropped to his back, delivering a monkey flip. Morrison then went to the ropes and caught Corey with the flying Chuck kick, snapping the champion's face back. Morrison covered him again and hooked the leg this time, getting a 2 count. The quickness of Morrison was dominating the match but when he tried to pull Corey up, Corey grabbed a handful of his pants from the front and flung him face first right into the middle turnbuckle. After delivering a backdrop suplex, Corey was hoping he'd slown Morrison down. He got him up and went for the backdrop suplex again but Morrison flipped off his shoulders, landing on his feet. Corey turned around and was blasted with a kick to the back of the head followed by a perfect tornado DDT. As Morrison ascended one of the turnbuckles, most of the crowd came to their feet, waiting for the "Starship Pain". He went for it but just in time, Corey got his knees up right into his chest. Morrison hit the mat in a lot of pain as Corey came from behind and pulled off a wicked move. He grabbed both of Morrison's arms and pulled them behind his back before sticking his right foot on the back of his head. He then released his arms and pushed down with his foot, pushing Morrison's face against the mat. Corey followed that up with the "Showstopper", taking all the energy from the crowd in a split second and rolling Morrison over for the win. Match Time: 6:31 Hudson: "Wow.... Joe Corey is starting to show a real mean streak here, Michael". Cole: "Starting to? Corey's always had this in him! It's just gotten to the point where he is ready to make an example out of everyone! That includes Jordan Rockwell or anyone else here on PrimeTime"! "AMAZING" PLAYED COREY OUT OF THE RING AND HE WALKED UP THE RAMP, HOLDING THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND. Hudson: "He's not endearing himself to our audience, but it's hard to argue with the results he's getting". Cole: "Who cares?! Endearing himself?! Who cares..... he's the champion"! COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... COMMERCIALS FOR BOTH SEARS AND DELL PCs ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE....... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS FROM BREAK, KOFI KINGSTON IS IN THE RING GETTING THE CROWD REVVED UP. "CAPRICORN" BY 3O SECONDS TO MARS COMES ON AND M.X. OGDEN COMES OUT, RECEIVING MOSTLY BOOS. Hudson: "We welcome you back to TWF PrimeTime as we get things set for a fatal four way match and here comes the leader of Rising United". Cole: "And remember, the winner here gets an automatic shot at the Intercontinental title! Earlier tonight, we saw the current champion Chris Jericho taste defeat against Chaos Wolf"! "BORN TO FLY" COMES ON AND EVAN BOURNE IS OUT TO A VERY GOOD REACTION. Hudson: "Which might make Jericho ripe for defeat and ya gotta know that this guy would like another crack at him"! Cole: "As far as I'm concerned, Bourne is lucky he was even afforded this opportunity tonight after the miserable performance he put on at the Royal Rumble"! CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. AFTER FLEXING AND POSING, SHOWING OFF HIS CHISELED FRAME, HE HEADS TO THE RING. Hudson: "He's the former champion and he should absolutely be in this match"! Cole: "Well here's my pick! The former Universal champion Chris Masters is more powerful than any guy in this match by a mile, but he also has more big match experience than any of these other three"! Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match Kofi Kingston vs. M.X. Ogden vs. Evan Bourne vs. Chris Masters Before the bell even sounded, budding rivals Kingston and Ogden went right at each other, struggling in the corner. Bourne ducked a clothesline from Masters and hit him with a jumping knee that caught him right on the jaw. After running the ropes, he dropkicked the right knee cap of Masters before going over and helping Kingston with Ogden. Ogden did his best to fight them both off but after drilling Bourne with a right hand, Kingston popped him with a kick that knocked him out of the ring. But from behind came Masters, dumping Kofi out as well. Masters was now alone in the ring with the much smaller Bourne and he went to his power advantage to wear him down. After a devastating shoulder breaker, Masters pulled Bourne up and threw him to the corner, plowing into him with a clothesline. Bourne slowly came out of the corner, right into the clutches of Masters, who ran over him with a double sledge to the face. Masters covered him but failed to hook a leg and Bourne kicked out at 2! Masters got him up and whipped him to the corner again but this time, Bourne got out of the way and then sprung to the ropes, leading to a beautiful hurricanrana. Quickly, Bourne went to the top rope and leaped off with the Shooting Star Press. He was probably close to 15 feet in the air, slamming down onto the body of Masters. Bourne was initially shook up from the impact, but he still slithered onto Masters to get the pin and eliminate the 'Masterpiece'. Bourne saw Kingston and Ogden going at it on the floor and he seemed ready to leap over the top rope, but it appeared he had a quick flashback to the Royal Rumble and thought better of it. Kingston was able to counter a piledriver attempt from Ogden, backdropping him on the floor. He then got into the ring for a great series of exchanges with Bourne. After trading body kicks, Bourne ran the ropes and dove through the legs of Kingston. He went for the flying knee but Kofi was ready for it stepping back and then dropping him with a round kick to the head. He went for a cover but Bourne got his shoulder off the mat at 2. With the crowd behind him, Kofi warmed up for the Boom Drop but after hitting the ropes he watched Bourne get up and counter with a drop toe hold. Evan then ran the ropes, dropkicking Kofi square in the face. Bourne began to celebrate with the crowd but an elimination was coming and he didn't even see it. Ogden got into the ring and Bourne turned right into the "Memory Maker". Ogden covered him for the 3 count. Kingston and Ogden were now in the center of the ring, trading shots. Kingston's right hands started to phase Ogden and after a huge hip toss, Kofi went to the top rope and flew off with a crossbody the height of which rivaled the earlier Shooting Star Press. He landed it firmly and Ogden went down for the 1...............2.........., but he was up. Kofi pulled him up and belted the chest of the Rising United leader with knifedge chops but when he took a step back and went for a body splash, Ogden got out of the way. Kofi was able to land on the middle turnbuckle though and he went for a reverse crossbody but as he came down, Ogden pulled him down onto his knees with a gutbuster. He then went for the Memory Maker but Kofi pushed free to counter and immediately went for "Trouble in Paradise". Ogden avoided that and then used a quick Oklahoma roll but after getting Kingston's shoulders down, he grabbed the bottom ring rope, something referee Scott Armstrong couldn't see and a 3 count was registered. Match Time: 8:25 AS "CAPRICORN" PLAYED AND ARMSTRONG RAISED OGDEN's ARM, A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN CAME RUNNING TO THE RING AND GOT IN, APPLAUDING M.X.. OGDEN GRABBED HER AND GAVE HER A HUG BEFORE ASKING FOR A MICROPHONE. M.X. Ogden: (Out of breath) "Cut the music! Ladies and gentlemen, I told this girl here that I would impress her tonight...... and now, she is someone I will be hanging out with quite a bit. Her name is AJ Lee...... and she will be in the corner of the Memory Maker and AJ, I plan to make a lot of memories for both of us here very soon"! "CAPRICORN" PLAYS AGAIN AND OGDEN AND AJ LEE LEAVE THE RING, BOTH BEING BOOED. Hudson: "What the hell is going on here"?! Cole: "Oh c'mon, Hudson, this is great! Plus, he may be right..... he just earned himself a shot at the Intercontinental title"! Hudson: "I just want to know why a cute young girl like that would associate herself with him...... they always like the bad boys I guess". Cole: "Yeah..... that and they never liked you ya big goof"! A QUICK VIDEO PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTS THE HISTORY BETWEEN JORDAN ROCKWELL AND THE EMPIRE, BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY MATT MORGAN. BACK TO THE RING AND THE EMPIRE's MUSIC HITS BRINGING THE BIG MATT MORGAN OUT. Hudson: "And here we go..... what a main event this is gonna be. Has there ever been an I Quit match on live TWF television"? Cole: "Uh, that you'd have to go to the archives for...... I can't recall one". Hudson: "Well I thought you were supposed to be some never ending wealth of knowledge". Cole: "Psssh.... I was until they let me go in favor of you and that clown the Honky Tonk Man! Absolutely ridiculous! But as we saw..... more less heard.... you two fools couldn't hack it and that's why I'm back here"! "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND THE CROWD UNLEASHES A MONSTER POP FOR JORDAN ROCKWELL. HE COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES, HIS EYES FIXATED ON MORGAN. Hudson: "As our good friend Jim Ross would say, this is gonna get bowling shoe ugly". Cole: "Yeah, he may be your friend, he's certainly not mine, but there's no doubt it's gonna get ugly and it won't end until one of these guys says the words I quit"! "I Quit" Match Matt Morgan vs. Jordan Rockwell Rockwell got into the ring and Morgan was immediately all over him as referee Mike Chioda trailed the action with a microphone in hand. Morgan immediately wrapped both hands around his throat but Rockwell elbowed him in the midsection and then threw him into the top turnbuckle. But Morgan absorbed the blow and blasted Rockwell with a swinging elbow to the head. He then stood across his chest with all his weight, grabbing the ring ropes to apply pressure. Chioda knelt down and put the microphone to Rockwell but a loud "No" came out of his mouth. Morgan pulled him up and tried to position him for a powerbomb but Rockwell dropped to one knee and somehow tripped Morgan up, locking in the STF. He had it on tight in the center of the ring. Morgan was shaking his head and then yelled no into the microphone. It was clear that Rockwell was not about to break the hold and that's when The Empire's plan began to unfold as Carney came down the ramp carrying a 2x4. But Rockwell saw him coming and got up, tackling his longtime rival. Morgan got up and came to the aid of Carney and soon, they were all over Rockwell. That's when one of the most incredible moments in TWF history unfolded. The crowd just about lost their minds when someone was lowered down from the rafters, holding a baseball bat. IT WAS STING!!!! Sting came from behind, smashing Morgan in the back of the leg with the bat before turning it on Carney with a blow to the abdomen. Rockwell got up and Sting tossed him the bat. Like a man possessed, Rockwell began to beat Morgan with the bat, prompting him to yell "I Quit" into the mic! The crowd went nuts as "Save Me" came on and Morgan rolled out of the ring with Carney. Match Time: 7:30 A MASSIVE "STING" CHANT FOLLOWED AS HE AND ROCKWELL STOOD IN THE RING, LOOKING BACK AT THE EMPIRE. Hudson: "I can't believe this! Sting has come to the TWF"! Cole: "And he waited until the rest of them were on vacation..... that takes real guts Rockwell"! Hudson: "Rockwell has somewhat been teasing something for months and it has all come to fruition tonight in Houston! How is The Empire going to handle this"?! OFF AIR............
