DARK MATCHES Sean O'Doul looked good in his debut against Evolution's Frankie Kazarian but after Kazarian got back into it, O'Doul blatantly hit him in the head with a steel chair and was DQ'd. Hardcore Holly and D'Lo Brown took each other to the limit but after blocking the "Sky High", Holly hit the "Alabama Slam" to win it in 11:21 PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
JUST AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES BARGES INTO SHANE's OFFICE. Shane McMahon: "What the heck is this all about"? Travis Wakeman: "We want a damn rematch for our titles Shane"! Shane McMahon: "Well that's just not possible tonight fellas". Brock Lesnar: "I'd listen to the man Shane". Shane: "Brock, you and I used to be like this, why do you listen to this guy"? Wakeman: "Listen Shane, if you want a show tonight, you better start dealing, cause if not, I'll go shut this show down"! Shane: "Alright, alright, you get one chance. Wakeman, if you can beat Rosie tonight, I'll give you guys the rematch next week on PrimeTime. But if you lose, that's it, the next team in line gets the shot". Wakeman: "Let's go Brock, that was easier than I thought". WAKEMAN AND LESNAR LEAVE THE OFFICE AS "ROCK SUPERSTAR" BY CYPRESS HILL HITS AND PRIMETIME's MONTAGE ROLLS. MOMENTS LATER, THE EXTREMELY LOUD SOLD OUT COW PALACE COMES INTO VIEW AND FIREWORKS BLAST OFF AS THE MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY. Michael Cole: "We are live from one of our favorite cities and this is TWF PrimeTime! Welcome everyone to what should be a star studded show and here tonight, we have the one and only Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels"! A PROMO PICTURE WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN WITH SHAWN MICHAELS IN STREET CLOTHES. Bobby Heenan: "Shawn Michaels is scheduled to make a huge announcement but speaking of huge, what about what about what we just saw"? ANOTHER PROMO PICTURE WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO POPS UP FEATURING TRAVIS WAKEMAN STANDING WITH TRISH ON ONE SIDE AND ROSIE STANDING WITH JAMAL WHO ARE HOLDING THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES ON THE OTHER. Cole: "You're right Brain, that will be huge. Travis Wakeman goes one on one with Rosie of the Island Boyz in an attempt to get his team a rematch"! RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Heenan: "A rematch they should have anyway as the former champions"! Cole: "On RAW the other noght, we saw Mr. Perfect and Eddie Guerrero advance to what will be a fatal four way elimination match on Uprising to crown a new TWF Intercontinental champion and tonight, PrimeTime will decide the two men who will join them". VLAD THE IMPALER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Heenan: "Well one of them will definitely be the manbeast. He's a former IC champ and he knows what it takes to make it to the top"! Cole: "Well so does this man. Vlad had a tremendous match with Nails at MeltDown in what will truly be remembered as one of the most brutal matches of all time". Heenan: "These two have formed a little rivalry in the last month or so and this will definitely add to it". Vacant IC Title Contenders Match Rhyno vs. Vlad the Impaler As usual, Rhyno came out with his agressive style and dug his shoulders into Vlad who was trapped in the corner. After a hard clothesline, Rhyno already had Vlad reeling when he sent him to the ropes and went for the spinebuster but Vlad held onto his arm and pulled him down with a nasty ddt. That led to an elbow drop which Vlad followed with a dragon sleeper. But Rhyno showed a great power display as he bridged up and broke the hold. Vlad tried to hit the "Impaler" after ducking a clothesline but Rhyno slipped out of it and out of nowhere, drilled Vlad into the mat with the "Gore" out of nowhere and as quickly as it started, it was over. Match Time: 2:31 Heenan: "I told ya Cole, the manbeast means business and he'll show that to those other three on Uprising! There's your new Intercontinental champ"! Cole: "You could be right Brain. Rhyno just made quick work of a tough opponent". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... PARKING LOT.... THE SAME CUSTOM MADE PT CRUISER THAT SHOWED UP ON RAW PULLS UP. THE DOORS OPEN AS JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA STEP OUT AS SEAN O'HAIRE WALKS UP. HE AND ROCKWELL SHAKE HANDS AND KNOCK FISTS. Sean O'haire: "You did it man, you did it. Great job". Jordan Rockwell: "Thanks man, it wasn't easy". O'haire: "And about Triple H, don't sweat him jumping over to RAW". Rockwell: "You know what, I'm glad he went over there. If he wants a shot at this, (pats the TWF Title that is over his shoulder) I have no problem with that". O'haire: "Alright man, well I'll catch up with ya later". Rockwell: "Okay, good luck against Matasamo tonight, I'd love to see you win the title I just held last". O'haire: "Thanks man". COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... SHANE's OFFICE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHANE IS CONFRONTED IN HIS OFFICE BY CHRIS BENOIT AND JIM CORNETTE. Jim Cornette: "We're telling you Shane, Shawn Stasiak's feet hit the floor first in that battle royale at MeltDown". Shane: "Well tha's all well and good Corny, but it's a foregone conclusion now". Chris Benoit: "Show him the tape". CORNETTE PULLS A VIDEOTAPE OUT OF HIS JACKET AND POPS IT INTO A NEARBY VCR. Cornette: "Here, this'll prove it, take a look". THE FOOTAGE ROLLS FROM 3 DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DEFINITIVELY SHOWS STASIAK's FEET HITTING JUST BEFORE BENOIT's. Shane: "Well it looks as if you guys might have a legitimate gripe but I cannot overturn the referee's decision, it's always final. But I'll tell ya what I can do. Stasiak will be declared the official winner of the battle royale. But I will give you a match tonight Chris against him and the winner of that will get to either jump over to RAW or select someone from RAW to come over to my show. Now if you gentlemen don't mind, I have an interfed pay-per-view to begin planning". CORNETTE AND BENOIT WALK OUT. BACK AT RINGSIDE, BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE WALKS HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE WITH AN EVIL LOOKING GRIMACE ON HIS FACE. Heenan: "How bout that? Benoit gets justified"! Cole: "Yeah, not like he deserves it. But on the subject of MeltDown, during the show, Bradshaw was looking all over for Sean O'Doul, the man responsible for putting Faarooq out of action but instead, he ran into this monster". BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP WEARING A WHITE COWBOY HAT AND CARRYING A BULL ROPE. Heenan: "And tonight, Batista's gonna make him wish he never did". Cole: "Well Batista has certainly been impressive early in his career but he's facing a man who's as tough as they come. We're gonna see a brawl here folks, don't expect it to be pretty". Bradshaw vs. Batista Bradshaw came out and wasted no time taking it to the "crypt keeper" as no one has before, leveling him across the back with some hard clubbing forearms before knocking him back with a few forearm shots. But Batista showed he can take a lott of punishment and after being hit with a diving shoulder block, Batista moved out of the way of a big boot and exploded through a clothesline which knocked Bradshaw flat on his back. That led to a devastating sit down powerbomb but Bradshaw was able to get a shoulder up after the count of 2. He then shot Bradshaw into the corner and followed him in but Bradshaw stuck his big cowboy boot in his face. Batista ducked a wild swing and went for an irish whip to the opposite corner but Bradshaw reversed it. As Batista staggered out of the corner, Bradshaw hit the ring ropes and drilled him with the "Clothesline from Hell" out of nowhere for the 3 count. Match Time: 4:37 Heenan: "I never said Texans were smart but they can fight and that is what Bradshaw knows how to do"! Cole: "Look out! It's Sean O'Doul"! JUST THEN, SEAN O'DOUL SNEAKILY ENTERED THE RING WITH A GREEN STEEL CHAIR THAT HAD A 4 LEAF CLOVER ON IT AND BLASTED BRADSHAW ACROSS THE BACK WITH IT BEFORE DIGGING IT INTO HIS RIBS SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, ARENA SECURITY CAME OUT TO STOP THE CARNAGE AS O'DOUL's MUSIC HIT WITH A LEPRECHAUN LAUGH. Heenan: "Oh that was great! He outsmarted Bradshaw, not that Bradshaw was valadictorian or anything"! Cole: "This guy has a problem in the head Brain and when Bradshaw gets his hands on him, it won't be a good sight". BACKSTAGE ALBERT AND SEAN O'HAIRE COME INTO THE PICTURE. Albert: "Hey man, does Rockwell seem a little different to you lately"? Sean O'haire: "How so"? Albert: "I don't know, it just seems as though the success he's had is going to his head". O'haire: "No man, you got it all wrong. Jordan has worked his ass off to get where he is. I wanna be where he is someday, ya know"? THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON ALBERT WHO DOESN'T SEEM TOO HAPPY. OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA.... JAMIE NOBLE IS WALKING BACKSTAGE WHEN HE RUNS INTO JACKIE GAYDA. Jamie Noble: "Hey Jackie, what are you doin' girl"? Jackie Gayda: "Oh nothin', I just got someone to go see". Noble: "Did you see me get robbed of the lightheavyweight title at MeltDown? Matt Hardy is nowhere near as good as me, it was a fluke"! A VOICE IS HEARD. Voice: "Ya know, a real man would accept defeat". Noble: "Who said that? JOHN CENA COMES INTO THE SCENE. A real man huh? And what do you know"? John Cena: "I know that there's nothing worse than a whiner after defeat. You lost Noble, one, two, three, face it". Noble: "Why don't you face this. You and me in that there ring tonight". Cena: "Hey, I got no problem with that. You want a match, you got one". CENA WALKS AWAY SMILING AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... JAMAL AND ROSIE ARE ADMIRING THEIR NEW TAG TEAM TITLE BELTS TOGETHER WHEN TRISH STRATUS WALKS UP. Trish: "Hey boys, remember me? (looks at Rosie) Ya know, I'm the one you superkicked at MeltDown. Well tonight, when Travis gets his hands on you, you're gonna wish you never even thought about that and then next week, those titles are comin' back where they belong, to Wakeman Enterprises". TRISH WALKS OFF AS ROSIE AND JAMAL SEEM UNFAZED. "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AS CHRIS MICHAELS COMES OUT, MOSTLY TO BOOS. Cole: "Trish is sure brave tonight". Heenan: "If one of those samoan slobs lays a hand on her, I'm liable to go back there myself"! Cole: "Oh right Brain"! DYLAN JANSENS' MUSIC HITS AND MOLLY ESCORTS HIM TO THE RING TO A GOOD POP. Heenan: "Wakeman is gonna teach Roseanne or whatever his name is a lesson tonight"! Cole: "It's Rosie. But anyway folks, we've got Chris Michaels versus Dylan Jansens here, a match which Michaels asked for as it was Jansens who eliminated him from the PrimeTime battle royale at MeltDown, an outcome Chris Benoit and Shawn Stasiak are gonna determine here tonight". Heenan: "Well if Jansens has any chance against Michaels, he's gotta take his quick feet away". Cole: "I happen to think Jansens has a heck of a chance. Michaels is a good opponent but Jansens has a huge future in this business, should be a good one". Chris Michaels vs. Dylan Jansens w/Molly Holly After a collar and elbow tie up, Jansens took Michaels to the mat with an armbar twist and then delivered a legdrop to the inner part of the arm. That led to some fun to watch chain wrestling that the crowd appreciated. Neither man could gain ana advantage but after Michaels put his head down too early following an irish whip, Jansens delivered a fluid snap suplex. Jansens then kicked Michaels in the gut and bounced off the ropes, connecting with a flipping neckbreaker. After ducking a clothesline, Jansens hit a nice face plant bulldog and went to the top rope looking for the "Deep Sea Dive". But Michaels slowly got to his feet and Jansens came off anyway. However, Michaels blasted him in mid flight with the "Sudden Impact" superkick and hooked the leg deep for the 1...2...3. Match Time: 3:26 Heenan: "Oh my lord what a shot"! Cole: "You got that right Brain, he knocked Jansens into next week with that one". Heenan: "What a roll Chris Michaels has been on, he's coming into his own". Cole: "And after a great start to his career, Jansens has been in somewhat of a funk of late. What's gonna snap him out of it"? TWF MALL AD IS SHOWN FEATURING THE BRAND NEW TRAVIS WAKEMAN "TECHNICAL MAGICIAN" T-SHIRT. John Cena vs. Jamie Noble Noble didn't seem ready for Cena's approach as he was totally thrown off his gameplan when Cena used 3 different innovative rollups to get near falls. He went for a scoop slam but Noble blocked it by slinging over his shoulders and then got a thumb to the eyes which drew a warning from referee Jack Doan. Noble then hit a swinging neckbreaker before he began to try and wrench Cena's right knee out. Noble ran him to the ropes and tried to roll back with a rollup but Cena rolled through it and got 1....2..., but Noble escaped. Cena then kicked him in the gut and hit a nice ddt. Instead of going for the cover, Cena whipped him to the corner and followed in but ate a back elbow. After a backdrop suplex, Noble went and removed the turnbuckle pad. Moments later, Cena ducked a clothesline and scored with a backdrop suplex into a powerbomb. He then sent Noble for the ride and caught him with a textbook powerslam, hooked the leg and got 1....2..., but again Noble hung on. He then shot him to the corner with the missing pad and tried to hit a jumping corner splash but Noble moved and Cena hit face first the exposed bolt. As Cena wobbled trying to stay up, Noble kicked him in the stomach and delivered a Tiger Bomb to get the 3 count and the upset. Match Time: 7:03 Heenan: "Noble did it! You got anything else smart to say Cena"? Cole: "I'm sure he does, like, what didn't Jamie Noble illegally do in this match"? Heenan: "Oh would you quit Cole, it goes down in the record book under the W column, it doesn't matter how it got there, by now you should now that"! Cole: (sarcastically) "Yeah, silly me. Morals in some of these guys, what was I thinking"? PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... LITA AND JORDAN ROCKWELL ARE SHOWN. Lita: "Listen Jordan, I know I've said this a hundred times already, but I really mean it, I am so proud of you". Jordan Rockwell: "Thank you girl". THE TWO START TO KISS WHEN JACKIE GAYDA INTERRUPTS. Jackie Gayda: (rudely clears her throat) "Sre you two through"? Lita: "What do you want now"? Jackie: "I'm here to do what I said I was gonna do. Congratulations Jordan". SHE REACHES HER ARM OUT TO HUG HIM WHEN LITA PUSHES HER ARM AWAY. Lita: "That's enough, hands off". Jackie: "Ooh, touchy are we? Bitch". LITA TRIES TO TAKE A SWING AT JACKIE BUT ROCKWELL PULLS HER BACK AND TAKES HER AWAY AS THE CAMERA SHOWS JACKIE WITH A HUGE SMIRK ON HER FACE. COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE.... Vacant IC Title Contenders Match Yuji Matasamo vs. Sean O'haire Hayabusa came out with Matasamo but referee Charles Robinson wanted to see a fair match and ordered him to the back. In a major contrast in styles, Matasamo got the upper hand by outquicking O'haire and then taking him off his gameplan with a furious martial arts attack. He locked in a fujigatame armbar but O'haire was able to struggle to the ropes. Realizing one of O'haire's limbs was hurt, Matasamo exploited it, wrapping it around the ring rope and pulling down in an effort to hyperextend it. O'haire screamed in pain until he was able to use his free arm to whip Matasamo to the corner. Matasamo came out with a roundhouse which O'haire ducked and landed a backhand to the stomach followed by a scissors kick to the back of the head. After a jumping hook kick off an irish whip, O'haire went for "Cruel Intentions" but Matasamo slipped off his shoulder and shoved him to the turnbuckle. Matasamo threw a vicious clothesline but O'haire ducked and scored with an airplane spin drop. He then went up top, looking for the Seanton Bomb but when he came off, Matasamo rolled out of the way in the nick of time. He waited for him to get up and when he did, he dropped O'haire with the "Skewer DDT" to get the victory. Match Time: 5:01 Cole: "I have to hand it to Matasamo there. That's an impressive win". Heenan: "We could be looking at the next Intercontinental champion folks"! Cole: "He's advanced to the four way elimination on Uprising where he will get that chance". BACKSTAGE Idalis: "Lita, you have requested this time. What point did you wanna get across girl"? Lita: "Well Idalis, it's not really a point. I want Jackie Gayda in a match on Uprising! I'm sick of the crap she's pulling with Jordan and I'm gonna make it so she leaves him alone for good. LITA STARTS TO WALK AWAY WHEN SHE TURNS AND COMES BACK. Oh and Jackie, on Uprising, we'll see who's the bitch". Idalis: "There ya have it fans, back to you and the weasel Michael". MICHAEL COLE LAUGHS AS THE ISLAND BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AND ROSIE AND JAMAL COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Heenan: "Did she just call me a.... Cole: "Yeah Brain, I think she did and it was great. But on a serious note, it's time for one of our big matches tonight as Wakeman Enterprises tries to earn a rematch for next week". "MAKE WAY" HITS AS PYRO GOES OFF AND THE WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES LOGO FLASHES ON THE TWF TRON. BROCK LESNAR AND TRISH LEAD TRAVIS WAKEMAN TO THE RING TO THE BIGGEST HEAT OF THE NIGHT. Heenan: "They shouldn't have to earn it Cole, they're the former champs, they deserve a rematch"! Cole: "Well it was all in the way Wakeman Enterprises demanded it by threatening to shut this show down and I'm gald Shane laid down the law". Heenan: "Well if you think Wakeman is gonna have trouble with this hippo Roseanne, you're about as bright as all these humanoids here in the Bay area"! Travis Wakeman w/Trish & Brock Lesnar vs. Rosie w/Jamal The two locked up and Wakeman tried an amatuer go behind but caught a back elbow. Rosie went for a poorly disguised clothesline and Wakeman ducked and caught him with a series of european uppercuts. He then took him down with a hard armbar and worked it into an STF but Rosie was right at the ropes and got out of it. Wakeman went for an irish whip but Rosie reversed it and sent him to the corner, following in with a running butt bump. Wakeman staggered out of the corner and fell victim to a high impact samoan drop. Rosie made the cover 1....2..., but Wakeman kicked out. Rosie then went for a hip toss but Wakeman blocked it, ducked a clothesline and hit an impressive inverted atmoic drop. Wakeman then swept Rosie's feet out and locked in the vaunted SahrpShooter in the center of the ring. Knowing his partner was in trouble, Jamal jumped up on the apron as Rosie tapped out in the ring. Lesnar came over and pulled Jamal down, dropping him with a hard clothesline. In the ring, Rosie had Wakeman set up for a running powerslam but Wakeman wiggled off his shoulders and hit his sleeper hold drop which he calls the Corner Stone to pick up the 1....2....3. Match Time: 2:47 Heenan: "There, how do ya like that Cole"?! Cole: "I like it about as much as these fans do". Heenan: "There ya have it folks, next week on this program, the best on television, Wakeman Enterprises get their rematch for the tag team titles"! COMMERCIAL.....

Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and a huge night it's already been but now we're gonna find out exactly who will get to make this choice". Heenan: "Well that's only fair because the video tape clearly showed Stasiak's feet hitting the ground first". "WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS AS JIM CORNETTE LEADS CHRIS BENOIT TO THE RING. Cole: "Unfortunately if Benoit wins this match, Cornette's gonna have a hand in the decision". Heenan: "Cornette has a great wrestling mind, that'd be fine with me". Shawn Stasiak vs. Chris Benoit w/Jim Cornette Benoit came out just as he is described, as a "rabid wolverine". He went right to work on Stasiak's right arm and upper shoulder. He tattooed Stasiak's chest, leaving it beet red after 9 knifedge chops. Stasiak tried to fight back but anytime he mounted an offensive surge, Benoit took a shot at the upper right arm. After a hard shoulder breaker, Benoit went for the cover but Stasiak kicked out at 2. He then pulled him up and whipped him to the corner. The confident Benoit tried to charge in with a shoulder lead but Stasiak moved and schoolboyed him, hooking the tights to get the quick pin. Match Time: 2:34 Cole: "Look at this! Stasiak has stolen one from Camp Cornette's book and defeated Benoit with a hook of the tights"! Heenan: "Oh boy, Benoit is steamin'! He just ruined a major plan I think"! Cole: "Well for once I can say I'm glad about something Shawn Stasiak did"! SUPERSTARS FROM THE TWF AND GWF ARE SHOWN IN ACTION SHOTS. Narrator: "Which company has the best athletes?

It's that right there that I'm out here right now. I'm not gonna beat around the bush. As you all probably know, I suffered a severe career threatening injury a few months ago and at that time, wrestling kinda got put on the back burner. I focused my time on what I love most in this world, more than this business and that's my wife, my son and the man upstairs. FANS GET LOUDER. But just a couple weeks ago, I was gonna come out here one more time and hear you guys cheer for me, so I could go away in peace and I wanted my family to be at my side to experience it with me. That's when Val Venis came out and attacked me and not only harmed me, but he harmed my wife! Now Val, I know you're not here tonight for secuirty purposes but I want you to listen real closely to what I'm about to say. The attack you made on me lit a fire that has been burned out for awhile. And Val, next week on this show, in a steel cage, I am going to put permanent injury on the line to come out here and do what I do best, kick ass and take names and you're at the top of the list pal"!
