PT GOES LIVE PrimeTime's MONTAGE VIDEO AND THEME MUSIC HIT AS THE VERY LOUD, SOLD OUT HARA ARENA COMES INTO VIEW. PRIMETIME's NORMAL FIREWORK DISPLAY KICKS THINGS OFF FOLLOWED BY A RED, WHITE AND BLUE SHOWER FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY AS THE CROWD GREW VERY LOUD. Michael Cole: "Happy fourth of July fans as we are live for TWF PrimeTime. Michael Cole alongside Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and what a show we have in store tonight Brain"! Bobby Heenan: "Well Shane McMahon is up to his tricks again against Wakeman Enterprises as he's made two huge matches"! 2 PROMO SCREENS ARE SHOWN FEATURING THE PRIMETIME LOGO WITH BROCK LESNAR VS. EDGE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN DEFENDING HIS TOUGHMAN TITLE AGAINST RHYNO. Cole: "That's right folks, the two guys who earned the right to a tag team title match at King of the Ring are gonna be tested in singles action tonight when the next big thing Brock Lesnar faces Edge and Travis Wakeman defends the Toughman title against the manbeast Rhyno"! JAMIE NOBLE's MUSIC HITS AND DAWN MARIE LEADS HIM DOWN THE AISLE TO A CHORUS OF BOOS. Cole: "And speaking of Shane McMahon Brain, what is the relationship between he and that woman right there, Dawn Marie"? Heenan: "Well I think it's obvious that she wants something from Shane but he seems to stupid to wanna give it to her". EVOLUTION's MUSIC HITS AS FRANKIE KAZARIAN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Cole: "Well here's a man who refers to himself as the future as one half of the tag team Evolution but he's got a tough opponent tonight in Jamie Noble". Heenan: "Jamie Noble is exactly what the PrimeTime division needed if they were ever gonna have a Lightheavyweight division that rivaled that of RAW's. He's a tremendous talent". Cole: "Well I won't take anything away from him but it was thanks to Dawn Marie that he won his debut match here last week against Spike Dudley". Jamie Noble vs. Frankie Kazarian Noble came out on the offensive and agressively took it to the young Kazarian. After a tornado ddt, Noble went to the middle turnbuckle and came flying off but Kazarian caught him with one of his signature superkicks, snapping his head back. Just then, Dawn Marie got up on the apron and lifted her skirt as Kazarian gawked at her. Noble took advantage and delivered a reverse ddt. He then used a seemingly escapable grapevine pin to get the 3 count. Match Time: 3:38 Cole: "And with the help of Dawn Marie again, Jamie Noble has won this match". Heenan: "Ya know, this Dawn Marie is a tremendous asset to have at ringside"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... Idalis: "Now Molly Holly, you have requested this interview. What is it that you wanna address"? Molly Holly: "Well Idalis, being that this is the fourth of July, I wanted to talk about something that really upset me last week on this show and that was the formation of Jim Cornette's anti-American group. I mean.... SUDDENLY, JIM CORNETTE ENTERS THE PICTURE. Jim Cornette: "Well I'm so sorry to hear of this Molly, well actually I'm not, but just so you're aware of it, the next person to join our group is your very own boyfriend Dylan Jansens". Molly: "No way! That'll never happen"! Cornette: "I wouldn't be too sure about that". Voice: "But I would". IT WAS DYLAN JANSENS. Jansens: "Listen Cornette, I may originally be from France, but this country has always been home for me and there's no way I'd ever join your slimeball group, especially with you in charge". Cornette: "Make all the insults you want, but if it wasn't for me, you would've never come up from Smoky Mountain Wrestling as quickly as you did". Jansens: "No Jim, you're wrong. I came up so quickly because I have talent. If you wanna be reminded of that, get your two boys from Japan and I'll get myself a partner and we'll have ourselves a tag team match right here tonight, on Independence Day"! CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. Cornette: "As Extreme Japan's spokesperson, I accept your challenge". Cole: "That's gonna happen tonight"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE... SHANE IS SITTING IN HIS OFFICE WHEN DAWN MARIE ENTERS WEARING SOME VERY REVEALING CLOTHING. Dawn Maire: "Hey there Shane". Shane: "Well if it isn't miss Dawn Marie". Dawn Marie: "So Shane, is there anything I can do for you, be of assisstance in any way"? Shane: "Well, I thought we talked about..... (SHANE's EYES LIGHT UP) actually, I just got an idea". HE WHISPERS HIS IDEA IN HER EAR AND SHE LAUGHS. TWF RE-WIND SHOWS THE BODY DONNAS' ATTACK ON VLAD THE IMPALER BACKSTAGE LAST WEEK ON PRIMETIME. Cole: "One can only wonder what popped up into Shane's head but he has some sort of plan". Heenan: "Well I know what popped up when I saw Dawn Marie"! Cole: "Spare us Brain. Folks, right now, it's King of the Ring first round action between Vlad the Impaler and Body Donna Skip"! King of the Ring First Round Vlad the Impaler vs. Body Donna Skip Skip was no match for the physically dominating Vlad who hit Skip with several high impact moves. After a hard clothesline turned Skip inside out, Terri got up on the apron and distracted referee Jim Korderas as Body Donna Kip came through the crowd and into the ring. But Vlad turned around and military press slammed him all the way to the floor. When he turned around, Skip came flying off the top rope but Vlad caught him. Then, in one quick motion, he flung him onto his shoulders and delivered "Lights Out" to get the victory much to the dismay of Terri. Match Time: 7:04 Cole: "Skip advanced in the qualifying round with the help of Kip just like that but tonight, it backfired"! Heenan: "Vlad got lucky tonight! I can't imagine saying King Vlad"! Cole: "Well he'll face the winner of the Christian-Shawn Stasiak match which takes place later tonight". FAITH's MUSIC HITS AND SHE MARCHES TO THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE IN HAND. Heenan: "What is she doing out here"? Cole: "Well I don't know Brain but she's sure walking with a purpose". Faith: "Ya know, I used to think being a part of the TWF was the best thing that ever happened to me. That was, until I saw RAW. My best friend Cammie Copeland, who has given everything to this company for over a year, was treated like a piece of trash"! Cole: "That's ridiculous"! Faith: "Therefore, I will not be a part of the TWF anymore either because I quit"! FAITH SLAMS THE MIC AND EXITS THE RING. Cole: "What the hell was that all about"? Heenan: "Hey if that's how she's gonna be, we don't need her"! AS FAITH GETS TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP, SHE TURNS AND FLIPS THE CROWD OFF. BUT WHEN SHE TURNS AROUND, SHE IS DRILLED WITH A RIGHT HAND BY JACKIE GAYDA WHO STOMPS ON HER UNTIL SEVERAL REFEREES COME OUT AND PULL HER OFF. Cole: "That's the newcomer Jackie Gayda and she's giving Faith a farewell present"! Heenan: "Goodbye Faith"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE HAS JUST HUNG UP THE TELEPHONE WHEN THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR AND EARL HEBNER ENTERS. Earl Hebner: "What'd ya need boss"? Shane: "I need you to go and inform Ms. Trish Stratus to be in the parking garage in fifteen minutes". Hebner: "The parking garage"? Shane: "Just go tell her". HEBNER SHUTS THE DOOR AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL.... PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE XXX IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... PARKING GARAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, A TRUCK FULL OF COW MANURE IS SHOWN ENTERING THE PARKING LOT. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime fans and what is a truck full of cow manure doing here"? Heenan: "I don't even wanna know". BACKSTAGE JORDAN ROCKWELL IS TAPING HIS FISTS AS LITA LOOKS ON IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM WHEN DYLAN JANSENS ENTERS. Jansens: "Hey Rockwell. How ya doin' Lita"? Jordan Rockwell: "How ya doin' Dylan"? Lita: "Hey". Jansens: "Hey man, I know you gotta hate Jim Cornette and Extreme Japan as much as me and I challenged them to a tag team match tonight and.... Rockwell: "Hey man, it's Independence Day. You're damn right I'll be on your team against them tonight". Jansens: "Alright, that's what I wanna hear". BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS AS THE WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES LOGO SWIRLS AROUND THE RING AND THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS.

But here comes the next big thing Brock Lesnar in what should be a tremendous match". "NEVER GONNA STOP" BY ROB ZOMBIE HITS AS EDGE COMES OUT OF THE SMOKE FILLED ENTRANCE TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. Heenan: "Well Shane wants to make Wakeman Enterprises work hard before they go to King of the Ring but either way, I think we'll see new tag team champs that night Cole"! Cole: "It's gonna take a mega team to take them away from Strife and Bahamut but it's gonna take a mega match from Edge to beat this monster tonight". Edge vs. Brock Lesnar After surviving an early onslaught from Lesnar, Edge came back with a spinning wheel kick and got near falls with a sunset flip, a jumping side facebuster and the Edge-O-Matic. Lesnar then reversed an irish whip but put his head down too early and as Edge came off the ropes, he scored with the "Edge-a-cution" to get the 1.....2....., but Lesnar kicked out! As Lesnar staggered to his feet, Edge went for a flying headscissor but Lesnar caught him on his shoulders and turned it into the "F5" out of nowhere to get the 3 count. Match Time: 6:10 Cole: "It wasn't easy but Lesnar has defeated Edge". Heenan: "Give this man credit Cole! He kicked out of everything Edge could dish out, including the Edge-a-cution! Are you watching Strife and Bahamut"? Cole: "He's an animal but still to come tonight folks, Travis Wakeman defends the Toughman title against another animal, Rhyno". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... PARKING GARAGE.... TRISH STRATUS ENTERS THE PARKING GARAGE AND IS PUSHED FROM BEHIND BY DAWN MARIE RIGHT INTO THE TRUCK OF COW MANURE OFF A LANDING RAMP! Cole: "Oh my god! That's terrible"! Heenan: "That was Shane's plan? I'd get out of here now Shane"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... Cole: "Fans we're back and we just witnessed one of the most vile things in TWF history, take a look". A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF TRISH BEING THROWN INTO THE COW MANURE TRUCK BY DAWN MARIE. Heenan: "It's the most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed Michael! Can you imagine how many showers she's gonna have to take"?! BACKSTAGE Cole: "Well we're back to live action now and oh boy, there you see Travis Wakeman and he's just spotted Earl Hebner". WAKEMAN GRABS HEBNER BY THE COLLAR. Travis Wakeman: "Where the hell is Shane"? Hebner: "He, he just left the arena, I swear it". Wakeman: "Well he's not gonna get the Toughman Title match he expected". WAKEMAN RELEASES HEBNER AND WALKS OFF. Heenan: "That's the smartest thing Shane ever did is to leave". SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND HE HEADS TO THE RING TO MAINLY BOOS. Cole: "Back to the action as we have our second King of the Ring first round match tonight coming up and this should be an interesting one Brain". CHRISTIAN's MUSIC HITS AND GOLD PYRO FALL FROM ABOVE THE TWF TRON AS HE COMES OUT TO A SHOWER OF BOOS. Heenan: "It's raining goldage Cole! I love this guy"! Cole: "Well I think this is a match that the well conditioned Stasiak can control". Heenan: "Christian's quickness will get him the win tonight, he'd make a great king"! King of the Ring First Round Christian vs. Shawn Stasiak This was a very competitive match in which Stasiak dictated the pace. But Christian got back into it with an enziguri and a reverse ddt onto his knee. He then went for the "Un-prettier" but Stasiak countered by pushing him into the corner. As Christian came out, Stasiak dropped him right on his head and neck with a release german suplex. Christian lay motionless as Stasiak covered him for the 3 count. Match Time: 5:49 Cole: "What a shot Christian just took and he may be out cold Brain". Heenan: "All the force of that move went right to the back of his head and took him out quickly". Cole: "That means it will be Shawn Stasiak versus Vlad the Impaler in the PrimeTime semi-finals which will take place at the pay-per-view itself". A SHADOWY FIGURE WALKS DOWN A MARBLE FLOOR BEFORE STEPPING ON A RED CARPET. A GOLDEN THRONE APPEARS WITH A MAN SITTING IN A BLACK CLOAK. A WOMAN COMES OVER AND POURS EACH MAN A GLASS OF WINE AND THEY DRINK IT QUICKLY. THE MAN REMOVES THE CLOAK FROM HIS HEAD. Man: "Now go out there and bring me back the winner of the competition, for he will be King". Narrator: "The 2002 TWF King of the Ring comes to you live from Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, only on pay-per-view"! RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT POUNDING HIS CHEST. Cole: "King of the Ring is just around the corner folks but right now, the TWF Toughman title is gonna be on the line"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS ALONG WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN's PYRO AS HE COMES OUT WITH AN ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE. Heenan: "Well Wakeman's in a foul mood and he's without Trish, Rhyno could take advantage of this". Cole: "Wakeman did say that Shane wouldn't get the match he expected tonight but he's out here ready to compete". TWF Toughman Title Match.... Challenger... Rhyno vs. Travis Wakeman Wakeman turned his back and Rhyno attacked him from behind as the bell sounded. After several shoulders to the rib cage in the corner, Rhyno caught Wakeman with a hard spinebuster. He then whipped him into the ropes but Wakeman ducked a back elbow and drilled Rhyno with a cactus clothesline takedown. He then went outside the ring and threw the timekeeper to the floor and grabbed his chair. Wakeman then got back into the ring and hit Rhyno right between the eyes with the chair. Wakeman then went back outside and grabbed his title belt and walked away. Cole: "Wait a minute, it looks like Wakeman's leaving in protest! He can't do that"! Heenan: "Well he just did Cole and it doesn't look like anybody's gonna stop him"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CHRIS BENOIT's MUSIC HITS. DEACON BATISTA IS ALREADY IN THE RING. Cole: "We're back folks and these fans are still booing the fact that Travis Wakeman cut his title defense short by simply walking away". Heenan: "Can you blame him Cole? Shane ordered another woman to throw Trish into a vat of manure"! Cole: "He didn't order her! She did it on her own will be cause she wants to..... well she wants to assist Shane. But this should be a great match as the rabid wolverine Chris Benoit is gonna face Drew Blood's crypt keeper Batista but it's funny that Drew Blood is not here at ringside". Deacon Batista vs. Chris Benoit Batista came out and caught Benoit with an absolutely vicious clothesline and followed with a series of power moves. Midway through the match, the TWF Tron showed Drew Blood trying desperately to get out of his dressing room but on the other side was parked a forklift! In the ring, after taking out Batista's legs didn't work, Benoit's only weapon seemed to be his knifedge chop. But after being caught in mid air when he went for a flying body attack, Benoit was muscled onto Batista's shoulders and driven into the mat head first with a devastating jumping tombstone piledriver. Batista hooked the leg and got the 3 count but right away, the sound of glass breaking was heard as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's music hit. The crowd was going nuts as Batista waved for him to come out. Match Time: 5:11 Cole: "That's Austin's music but where is he"? Heenan: "The Deacon's ready for him"! Cole: "Wait a minute, right there"! JUST THEN, AUSTIN COMES FROM THE CROWD AND ENTERS THE RING BEHIND BATISTA. HE SPINS HIM AROUND, KICKS HIM IN THE STOMACH AND HITS THE STUNNER! HE THEN WAITS FOR BATISTA TO GET UP AND DELIVERS ANOTHER STUNNER. Heenan: "It must've been Austin who parked that forklift outside Drew Blood's door so he sneak attack his crypt keeper"! Cole: "Austin strikes again but will he shed blood at King of the Ring"? THE EARLIER CONFRONTATION BETWEEN JIM CORNETTE, MOLLY HOLLY AND DYLAN JANSENS IS REPLAYED. EXTREME JAPAN's MUSIC HITS AS THEY COME OUT LED BY JIM CORNETTE WAVING THE JAPANESE FLAG. Cole: "This to me is a disgrace Brain, that Jim Cornette give up his duties in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and the kids that are trying to come up from down there and align himself with this group". "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AS LITA, MOLLY HOLLY, JORDAN ROCKWELL AND DYLAN JANSENS COME OUT TO THE BIGGEST CHEER ALL NIGHT. ROCKWELL AND JANSENS BOTH CARRY AMERICAN FLAGS. Heenan: "Well I'm a proud American Cole, but I'm not proud to have these two representing the country tonight". Cole: "It's a fitting way to end this fourth of July edition of PrimeTime and it should be a great match". Jordan Rockwell and Dylan Jansens vs. Yuji Matasamo and Hayabusa This was a very exciting match in which Hayabusa and Matasamo looked very good together. After Rockwell gave his team an advantage, Extreme Japan got back into it against Jansens as they isolated him in the ring nearly the entire match. But after catching Hayabusa with a swinging neckbreaker, Jansens tagged out as Hayabusa did the same. Rockwell and Matasamo met in the center of the ring and Rockwell got the better of an exchange of right hands and then caught him with the Rock Smasher out of nowhere when Jim Cornette jumped on the apron. But Molly came over and pulled Cornette to the floor. But when she turned around, Hayabusa superkicked her! Jansens came over and tackled Hayabusa as Val Venis came running out to the ring. Rockwell covered Matasamo but the effects of the Rock Smasher had wore off and he got a shoulder up in time. Meanwhile, Lita got onto the ring steps and caught Val with the "Lita canrana". Referee Earl Hebner was distracted by this as Cornette recovered an amid all the confusion, tossed Matasamo the tenni racket and he clocked Rockwell with it. Venis then told Hebner to turn around which he did to count the 1....2....3 as the crowd vehemently booed. Match Time: 11:31 Cole: "Val Venis has screwed Jordan Rockwell once again"! Heenan: "Jim Cornette has never been an intelligent man but he was thinking there"! Cole: "And on Independence Day, Cornette's anti-American faction has stuck it to the U.S."! OFF AIR.....
