In the lone non-televised match, Perry Saturn and Sean O'Doul duked it out at a feverish pace until O'Doul caught him around the neck and dropped him with the "4 leaf clover" to get the win in 12:31. After the match, O'Doul talked to the "leprechaun" that's in his head.
PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
RIGHT AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, PICTURES FROM SEPTEMBER 11TH's TERRORIST ATTACKS APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. THEY RANGE FROM THE DEVASTATION AT GROUND ZERO, TO HEROIC SHOTS OF THE NEW YORK POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. AN IMAGE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG WAVING IN THE BREEZE IS SHOWN AS THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK. THE PHRASE "WE WILL NEVER FORGET" APPEARS. "ROCK SUPERSTAR" HITS AS PRIMETIME's MONTAGE VIDEO ROLLS, DISPLAYING THE STARS OF THE DIVISION. THE NOISY ARENA THEN COMES INTO VIEW AS RED, WHITE AND BLUE FIREWORKS BOMBARD THE NEARLY SOLD OUT ARENA. Michael Cole: "The PrimeTime train has pulled into Casper, Wyoming for the first time ever! Hello again folks, I'm Michael Cole alongside the Brain, Bobby Heenan and what a double main event we have for you tonight"! A PROMO PICTURE POPS UP WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IN THE BACKGROUND. WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES STANDS ON ONE SIDE AND THE ISLAND BOYZ, WITH THE TAG TEAM TITLES, ON THE OTHER. Bobby Heenan: "The time has come Cole! Wakeman Enterprises will regain the tag team titles tonight"! Cole: "That remains to be seen Brain but what about this one? ANOTHER PROMO PICTURE IS SHOWN FEATURING SHAWN MICHAELS AND VAL VENIS SURROUNDED BY THE IMAGE OF STEEL BARS. Shawn Michaels returns after several months out of the ring to face Val Venis in a steel cage"! CAMP CORNETTE's THEME HITS WITH JAPANESE MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND AS YUJI MATASAMO AND HAYABUSA MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE AISLE WITH JIM CORNETTE AND HIS TENNIS RACKET. Heenan: "It's a huge mistake by Michaels Cole! He's risking permanent damage and he's gonna get in there with someone as good as Val Venis, he's crazy"! Cole: "Michaels is puttin' a lot on the line but he prides himself on this Brain, you know that just as well as anyone and tonight, he wants to prove he's still got it"! HARDCORE HOLLY's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND VLAD THE IMPALER COME OUT TO A GOOD POP. Heenan: "Well I hope they have an ambulance on hand cause that's what he's leaving in"! Cole: "Well we're gonna kick things off with tag team action as you see the team of Vlad the Impaler and Hardcore Holly make their way down the aisle. Now, these two haven't teamed together in awhile but they are a very formidable team Brain". Heenan: "And so are Matasamo and Hayabusa and they are more comfortable with each other cause they've teamed a lot more". Yuji Matasamo and Hayabusa w/Jim Cornette vs. Hardcore Holly and Vlad the Impaler Matasamo and Hayabusa were taken by storm by an agressive Vlad and Holly. After Holly caught Matasamo with the best dropkick in the business, Vlad hit Hayabusa with a monstrous powerslam and Camp Cornette slid out of the ring to regroup. But just then, the crowd was shocked when Holly turned around and Vlad scooped him up and dropped him with Lights Out. He then waited for his partner to get up and when he did, he buried him with the Impaler DDT. Vlad then gave Holly a long stare and left the ring to a shower of boos. Cole: "What the hell was that about?! Vlad just destroyed his tag team partner"! Heenan: "Holly must've done something to tick him off"! BACKSTAGE DYLAN JANSENS AND MOLLY HOLLY ARE STANDING BACKSTAGE WHEN EDGE APPROACHES WEARING HIS NEW "I AM AN EDGE HEAD" T-SHIRT. Edge: "Hey Dylan, you wanted to talk to me"? Dylan Jansens: "Well yeah, I wanted to talk with one of the big guns around here, someone who's been through it". Edge: "Been through what man"? Jansens: "Well, when I broke into the TWF, I was a big hit. I was well on my way to being the rookie of the year. But lately, I don't know what it is, but I've been in a slump". Edge: "Hey man, it happens to the best of 'em. Look how young you are, you've got your whole career ahead of you. It'll all come around man, trust me. You're gonna go a long way in this business". THE 2 SHAKE HANDS. Jansens: "Thanks Edge, I needed that". Edge: "No problem, see you guys around". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... OTHER SIDE OF THE ARENA.... JAMIE NOBLE IS TALKING TO CHRIS MICHAELS. Jamie Noble: "You know it, I know it, hell, all these idiots here in Casper know it"! CROWD BOOS FROM INSIDE THE ARENA. Chris Michaels: "Hell yeah we're the future of PrimeTime and tonight, we're gonna further that claim". SPIKE DUDLEY COMES UP. Spike Dudley: "Hey Noble, you might think that you're the future of this show, but tonight, I've got a Dudley Dog with your name on it". NOBLE AND MICHAELS JUST SNICKER AS SPIKE WALKS OFF. COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... PARKING LOT.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS SPOT A BLACK STRETCH LIMOSINE PULL INTO THE ARENA WITH TINTED WINDOWS. AS IT COMES TO REST, THE CAMERA GOES DOWN AND SPOTS THE LICENSE PLATE WHICH IS REGISTERED IN WYOMING AND SAYS "GWF1". Chris Michaels vs. Sean O'haire This was a fun to watch match featuring some of the future the TWF has to offer. O'haire looked good in the early going, catching the smaller Michaels with several high impact moves including a jumping hook kick and a gutwrench into a powerbomb. But Michaels showed tremendous resiliency, fighting back with knifedge chops and a spinning backdrop suplex. After reversing an irish whip, O'haire went for a big clothesline but Michaels ducked. But when he came off the other side, O'haire caught him with a 1 handed powerslam. O'haire then set him up for "Cruel Intentions" but Michaels slipped off his shoulder and landed behind him. O'haire went for a backhand chop but Michaels jumped over his arm and the second he landed, he gracefully cocked O'haire's head back with the "Sudden Impact" superkick and got the 1....2....3. Match Time: 6:48 Heenan: "Oh boy how nice was that Cole"? Cole: "An impressive win for Chris Michaels here who's been on a hot streak as of late and a tough loss for Sean O'haire". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... MOLLY HOLLY IS GETTING HERSELF A BEVERAGE WHEN TERRI APPROACHES. TERRI STANDS BEHIND MOLLY WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW SHE's THERE. Terri: "Ya know Molly, me and my boys can help you with that". Molly Holly: "Help me with what"? Terri: "That oversized rear end of yours. I mean.... Molly: "Listen Terri, just because I'm not as skinny as you, does not me I want your excercise tips". Terri: "Okay, well don't say I didn't offer". Molly: "Ya know Terri, I just have one question. Which method did you go with, starvation or binge and purge"? Terri: "Ya know, I'd slap the taste out of your mouth but I have a better idea. Why don't you go get your man Dylan Jansens and I'll go get one of my boys and we'll have ourselves a little intergender match, right here tonight". Molly: "Fine with me". Terri: "Good, see ya later, blubber butt". TERRI WALKS AWAY AS MOLLY LOOKS ON IN DISDAIN. COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS ON THE PHONE Shane McMahon: "Yeah, I understand that but the pay-per-view is in two weeks, I need a deal soon. (pauses) That'd be fine with me, just let me know. Okay, bye". SHANE HANGS UP AS THE CAMERA SHIFTS TOWARDS THE AJAR DOOR WHERE DAWN MARIE IS SHOWN WITH AN EVIL GRIN ON HER FACE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, JAMIE NOBLE's MUSIC HITS AND HE IS BOOED HARD. Heenan: "Who was Shane talking to"? Cole: "I don't know, but whatever it's about, it looks like Dawn Marie may try to get involved in". THE SOUND OF A BOMB DROPPING IS HEARD AS SPIKE DUDLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS "ONE TOUGH LITTLE BASTARD" T-SHIRT AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. Heenan: "Look at this little twurp, whjy do these people like him"?! Cole: "Cause Spike is like a lot of them Brain. A guy who was told all his life that he couldn't do this and he proved all of them wrong. Now he plans to prove that Jamie Noble's assumption that he is the future of this division is wrong". Spike Dudley vs. Jamie Noble Noble looked to be at the peak of his game in this one as he employed his unorthodox strategy to limit Spike's offense. After a shinbreaker, Noble laid Spike's leg on the ring ropes and jumped up, coming down on the leg 3 times. He then used another shin breaker and tried to lock in the "Trailer Hitch" but Spike countered by tripping him up. He then came off the ropes with a dropkick to Noble's face as he was on his knees. After catching Noble off gaurd with a spinning wheel kick, Spike went to the top ropes and waited for Noble to get up. When he did, Spike jumped off and drove Noble's face into the mat with 1 hand. He hooked the inside leg 1.....2..., but Noble was up. Spike then came off the ropes but Noble kicked him in the gut and tried to cinch in the Tiger Bomb but Spike countered it. He then bounced off the ropes again but Noble ducked a clothesline and showed tremendous athleticism, catching Spike with a hurracanrana and pinning his legs far behind his head for the win. Match Time: 4:27 Heenan: "You're gonna sit there and say this guy doesn't have a great future? Come on"! Cole: "I never said he doesn't have a great future Brain, I just hate his cocky attitude and like a lot of fans, I was hoping Spike would help adjust that". Heenan: "Well it didn't happen. Your winner, Jamie Noble"! BACKSTAGE... CAMP CORNETTE's DRESSING ROOM.... YUJI MATASAMO AND HAYABUSA ARE WINDING DOWN FROM THEIR MATCH EARLIER. Jim Cornette: "Ya know guys, all this patriotic crap is getting a little annoying tonight". Chris Benoit: "What are you suggesting Jim"? Cornette: (pulls out an American flag) "I say tonight, we do something so drastic these fans here in Wyoming will never forget". Benoit: (smiling) "I think I get your drift, let's do it". Intergender Tag Team Match Body Donna Kip and Terri vs. Dylan Jansens and Molly Holly Jansens took Kip to school quickly, showing the predominantly tag team wrestler his diverse background. After a backbody drop, Jansens ran through Kip with a solid clothesline. He then used a hip toss into a top wrist lock. From a hammerlock position, Jansens backdrop suplexed him right on his arm. As Jansens moved in for more punishment, Kip poked him in the eye and tagged in Terri. Molly jumped up and down on the apron, begging Jansens for the tag and he obliged. Molly came in with some forearm shots to the much less experienced Terri. After an atomic drop, Molly used a northern lights suplex with a bridge and would've pinned Terri if not for Kip making the save. This drew Jansens in but after a kick to the stomach, Kip tossed him to the floor and Terri followed. She jumped on Jansens' back and referee Mike Sparks yelled at her to get back in the ring. Meanwhile, Molly had Kip in a side headlock when Body Donna Skip came out from underneath the ring and got in. He spun Molly around and kicked her in the abdominal area and he and Kip then hit the "Body Shot" on her as Sparks turned and counted the 3. Cole: "Oh boy, I'm begging the ref to wake up"! Heenan: "There ya go Jansens, time to go back to the drawing board, only you need a new teacher cause Edge's advice didn't work"! Cole: "First off, Kip wasn't even the legal man and secondly, it took two men whp wrestle full time to defeat a female. Boy I know I'd be proud"! THE BODY DONNAS EACH HAVE AN ARM AROUND TERRI AS THEY WALK BACKWARDS UP THE AISLE WITH THEIR HANDS RAISED WHILE JANSENS CHECKS ON MOLLY. COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... SHANE's OFFICE... SHANE IS SITTING AT HIS DESK WHEN TWF OFFICIAL TONY GAREA ENTERS WITH AN ENVELOPE. Shane: "Hey what's up Tony"? Tony Garea: "Well Shane, this certified letter just showed up. It's for you". Shane: "Who's it from"? Garea: "No clue, there's no return address". Shane: "Well go ahead and read it". GAREA OPENS THE ENVELOPE. Garea: "It says, unless they give me what I deserve, I will be forced to take drastic measures". Shane: "What the? Who are they"? Garea: "I don't know, that's all it says". SHANE TAKES THE LETTER AND RIPS IT UP, TOSSING IT INTO A WASTEBASKET. Shane: "If they wanna remain anonymous, that's what I think of their threats". BACK AT RINGSIDE, AN IRISH THEME HITS AS AND SEAN O'DOUL COMES OUT WITH A MIC IN HAND. Cole: "What was that letter all about Brain"? Heenan: "I don't know but I think Shane should take it a little more seriously". Cole: "Oh this is brave. Bradshaw is not here tonight, he's in New York at ground zero helping take donations for the TWF's terrorist attack relief fund and now this jackass comes out". Heenan: "What'd you call him? You better watch it Cole". Sean O'Doul: (in his Irish accent) "Ever since I became part of the TWF, all I have heard about is America this and America that. Well Bradshaw, you like to voice your opinion on how great this country is but I'm sick of my country, Ireland, never getting the consideration it deserves as a credit to this industry. Fit Finlay, one of the greatest technical wrestlers in the world trained me, but when do you ever hear his name mentioned? So Bradshaw, here's what I propose, next week on PrimeTime, you and me in a Flag match. Your flag versus mine and we'll see whose will be waved proudly at the end". O'DOUL TOSSES THE MIC DOWN AND STARES INTO THE CAMERA AS HIS MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD BOOS LOUDLY, CHANTING "USA" IN BETWEEN. Cole: "So O'Doul wants Bradshaw in a Flag match next week on PrimeTime and I know Bradshaw will take him up on that"! Heenan: "As long as he doesn't play O'Doul for a fool, he might have somethin' up his sleeve". BACKSTAGE... NEW BREED DRESSING ROOM... JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA ENTER AND ROCKWELL SETS THE TWF WORLD TITLE ON A SHELF WHEN LITA FINDS A FOLDED UP PIECE OF PAPER ON A CHAIR. Jordan Rockwell: "What is it"? Lita: "It's from Albert". LITA READS IT. Rockwell: "Whats it say"? Lita: (sounding sorry) "He doesn't wanna be part of the New Breed anymore. He says he's leaving as soon as possible". Rockwell: "Where's he goin'"? Lita: "He doesn't say". Rockwell: "I better go tell Sean". ROCKWELL LEAVES THE ROOM BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES COMES OUT TO A MAJORITY OF BOOS LEAD BY TRISH STRATUS. Cole: "Well this night just keeps getting weirder folks, Albert has apparently walked out on the New Breed but now it's time for one of our big matches and it will be a rematch from MeltDown for the Tag Team gold"! THE ISLAND BOYZ MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT WEARING WYOMING COWBOYS BASKETBALL JERSEYS WITH JAMAL AND ROSIE ON THE BACK. THEY HAVE THE BELTS IN THEIR HANDS AS THEY PLAY TO THE HYPED UP CROWD. Heenan: "Well these two better be prepared! This is their first title defense and I can promise that Wakeman Enterprises is ready"! Cole: "Should be a great rematch as these two teams have built quite the rivalry in the last several weeks". TWF Tag Team Title Match Challengers.... Wakeman Enterprises w/Trish vs. The Island Boyz Before the bell rang, Wakeman Enterprises got the jump on Jamal and Rosie. Lesnar buried his shoulders deep into the abdomen of Jamal as Wakeman pounded away on Rosie with some stiff jabs to the body followed by an uppercut. But referee Tim White forced Lesnar to his corner in an attempt to restore order and Rosie ducked a clothesline off an irish whip and he and Jamal blasted Wakeman with a double superkick. Jamal then whipped Wakeman into the ropes and tossed him into the air, catching him with a samoan drop on the way down. He went for the cover but Lesnar broke it up. The Island Boyz worked on Wakeman for the next few minutes as Rosie draped over him with an avalanche splash in the corner. They then brought the crowd to their feet when they caught him with a double hip toss into a faceplant. Rosie went for the cover 1......2....., but Lesnar came in and put a boot to Rosie's head. As Lesnar argued with White, Trish jumped up on the apron with one of the tag team titles and tried to throw it to Wakeman but Jamal intercepted it. He then cranked it back and took a swing at Wakeman who ducked and Jamal drilled Rosie with it! Lesnar then came in and clotheslined Jamal to the floor. Rosie tried to get up but he was dazed and Wakeman capitalized with the sleeper drop which he now calls the "Ace in the Hole". He hooked Rosie's near leg and pointed to the sky, counting the 1.....2.....3 as new champions were crowned. Match Time: 9:00 Cole: "This one's over folks, we got new champs"! Heenan: "I told ya Cole, they weren't ready for all Wakeman Enterprises' weapons"! Cole: "Well if you're referring to Trish, you're absolutely right"! TRISH HANDS WAKEMAN AND LESNAR THE TAG TEAM TITLES AS THEY WALK UP THE RAMP IN VICTORY. Heenan: "She's a tremendous asset"! Cole: "Wait a minute Brain, what the hell"? JUST THEN, GWF SUPERSTARS TAZ AND TOMMY DREAMER STAND UP IN THE FRONT ROW HOLDING PRIMETIME TICKETS. WAKEMAN AND TAZ EXCHANGE WORDS AS DREAMER AND LESNAR LOOM OVER THEIR SHOULDERS. Heenan: "Those are some of those punks from the GWF"! Cole: "What the hell are they doing here"? ONCE THE WORDS START GETTING TOO HEATED, SECURITY IN THE CROWD PULLS TAZ AND DREAMER AWAY AND POLITELY ASKS THEM TO LEAVE. MORE SECURITY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO RESTRAIN WAKEMAN ENTERPRISES. Heenan: "Get 'em outta here"! Cole: "What business do those guys have at one of our shows? Granted I don't like Wakeman Enterprises either but I was beggin' for them to throw those two out"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE..... CAMP CORNETTE's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT. CORNETTE IS CARRYING THE AMERICAN FLAG AS THE CROWD BOOS LOUDER THAN ANY OTHER TIME ALL NIGHT. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and it looks like it's gonna go from bad to worse. We got the GWF outta the building but what is Camp Cornette gonna do"? Heenan: "I don't think I wanna see this myself". Jim Cornette: "Ya know, to echo the words of Sean O'Doul earlier, we are sick of America. This country cares only for itself and tonight, we will give you a visual presentation of what we think of that"! CROWD BOOS AND SECURITY HAS TO HOLD SEVERAL FANS BACK AS CHRIS BENOIT TAKES THE FLAG AND YUJI MATASAMO PULLS OUT A BOOK OF MATCHES. Cole: "Oh no, they can't be serious! Somebody stop this"! BENOIT's TOOTHLESS SMILE IS AS VIBRANT AS EVER AS MATASAMO GETS READY TO STRIKE THE MATCH WHEN THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING IS HEARD AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES RUNNING OUT! Cole: "Oh hell yeah, it's the Texas rattlesnake"! Heenan: "I hate to sya it, but thank god"! AUSTIN GETS IN THE RING AND HITS HAYABUSA WITH A STUNNER. HE THEN DUCKS A ROUNDHOUSE FROM MATASAMO AND HITS HIM WITH ONE AS WELL. BENOIT TRIES TO TAKE AUSTIN's HEAD OFF WITH THE FLAG BUT AUSTIN DUCKS AND BOOM, HE DRILLS BENOIT WITH ONE TOO! HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE JIM CORNETTE SLUMPED DOWN IN THE CORNER, BEGGING AS THE CROWD IS DEAFENING! AUSTIN GOES OVER AND HELPS HIM TO HIS FEET. THE CROWD IS SHOCKED AS CORNETTE DUSTS OFF HIS PINK SUIT BUT JUST THEN, HE CATCHES A KICK TO THE GUT AND AUSTIN HITS A STUNNER ON HIM AS WELL AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS AGAIN AND THE CORWD IS GOING NUTS AS AUSTIN GETS UP ON THE TURNBUCKLE WITH HIS ARMS RAISED. Cole: "Oh hell yeah, the rattlesnake prevented one of the most heinous ideas in the history of this company and thank god he did"! THE CAMERA SHOWS A FURIOUS CAMP CORNETTE RETREATING. Heenan: "But ya gotta wonder what the repercussions for this will be"! BACKSTAGE SEAN O'HAIRE IS WALKING BACKSTAGE WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES UP. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey Sean, wait up". Sean O'haire: "Oh hey Jordan, what's up"? Rockwell: "Well I hate to tell you this man, but Lita and I just got the word that Albert is gonna leave the New Breed. I now he was your partner and I..... O'haire: "Hey man, to be honest, that was probably the best thing that could've happened. I mean, he'd been acting real weird lately and the group will be tighter without him". Rockwell: "Alright man, as long as you're okay with it". THE 2 SHAKE HANDS AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE. THE STEEL CAGE IS SHOWN LOWERING AS VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT. Cole: "Well the moment of truth has arrived. In just a few moments, Shawn Michaels will make his long awaited return to the ring and not just in any match Brain, but a steel cage match". Heenan: "I think he's crazy Cole and when these people see HBK leave on a stretcher, they'll know how stupid he is too"! "SEXY BOY" HITS AS SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO A STANDING OVATION WHICH WAS CERTAINLY THE LOUDEST ALL NIGHT. Cole: "There he is, the one, the only, Heartbreak Kid"! Heenan: "That nickname is gonna fit here soon because all these humanoids hearts are gonna break when Val puts this guy out for good"! Steel Cage Match Val Venis vs. Shawn Michaels As the cage doors locked, Shawn Michaels quickly showed that he hadn't lost a step as he socked it to Venis in true HBK form. HBK used the cage as a weapon, repeatedly ramming Venis into it. But as he bounced off the ropes, Venis got back into it with a hard spinebuster followed by a big kneedrop. Val went for the cover but soon realized the object to win is to escape. Val tried to hook Michaels up for a big piledriver but Michaels countered it with a backdrop and then hit a flying forearm as he came off the ropes at a high speed. HBK then played to the crowd who was on the edge of their seats all match. HBK then pointed to the corner and with the fans' approval, he went up and hit his picture perfect elbow drop that looks so nice. HBK then stomped his foot in the corner, "revvin' up the band" for the "Sweet Chin Music" when suddenly, the cage started rising upwards and Val slid out of the ring and got out of there. Cole: "What the heck is going on? Someone is messing with the cage"! Heenan: "Who's doing that"?! MICHAELS STANDS IN THE RING WITH A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AS PRIMETIME WENT OFF THE AIR. OFF AIR......
