UPRISING's THEME MUSIC PLAYS AND THE LOGO POPS UP ON THE SCREEN AS THE SCENE STARTS RIGHT OFF IN THE TWF LIVEWIRE INN. THE FANS INSIDE ARE LOUDLY CHEERING AND SHOWING OFF THEIR TWF MERCHANDISE AS AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN COME OUT ON STAGE. Al Snow: "Tonight we are on the FOX network and we are live for Uprising! We are counting down as always to TWF PrimeTime which emanates from the Pit in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Honky, I hear the fans get rowdy down there". Honky Tonk Man: "It's huge for a university arena, you'd think Elvis was there some nights"! Snow: "Well Elvis isn't gonna be there tonight but the stars of PrimeTime will be. But before we send it there, we've got some of the up and coming
stars of PrimeTime right here in the Livewire"! HTM: "We sure do Snow and we know everyone out there tuned in for two things, to see their favorite wrestler of all time the Honky Tonk Man and to
catch the great action that always accompanies Uprising! Let's go to the ring"! THE RING IS SHOWN AND THE FANS CROWD AROUND IT AS THE ACTION STARTS.
SMW Match: Rob Conway and Nick Dinsmore vs. Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger Arguably the top two teams in SMW, these 4 men battled in an important match.
Diamond and Swinger didn't show the continuity they have in the past and after Conway and Dinsmore hit a german suplex/STO combo on Swinger, it was all over. SMW Match:
Lance Cade w/ Rip Cade vs. Shawn Evans This was a great technical contest that could've gone either way. But when Rip Cade inadvertently hit Lance with one of the SMW tag team titles, Evans rolled him up for a slight upset. SMW Match: Mark Jindrak vs. The Patriot The 3 TWF scouts in attendance sharpened their pencils for this match
but before they could get settled in, it was over. After rolling out of a backdrop suplex attempt, The Patriot used his Atomic Bomb to finish Jindrak in 1 minute, 37 seconds. Snow: "I'll tell ya Honky, The Patriot is in my opinion, becoming the top
superstar in SMW. HTM: "That's a lot coming from the new commissioner over there, which you shouldn't have by the way". Snow: "Hey, I will be fair and I will put SMW first, rather than those other two baffoons. But enough about me, it's time for PrimeTime,
Michael Cole and Jesse Ventura are ready to call the action folks, fasten your seatbelts"! THE SCREEN FADES OUT AND THE FOX LOGO IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE PRIMETIME LOGO. "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS AND LEADS RIGHT INTO PRIMETIME's MONTAGE VIDEO SHOWCASING ALL THE STARS OF THE SHOW.
THE PIT COMES INTO VIEW SHOWING ONE OF THE LARGEST CROWDS TO SEE PRIMETIME IN AWHILE. ORANGE FIREWORKS GLISTEN AS THEY LIGHT UP THE BUILDING. Michael Cole: "Albuequerque, New Mexico is the site for PrimeTime and we are live for the greatest
wrestling program around! Michael Cole and Jesse Ventura sitting ringside and Jesse, this state is getting to be one of our favorite to
come to"! Jesse Ventura: "The fans here are great and they are ready for what should be one hell of a show"! SEVERAL UNIFORMED MEN
ARE SHOWN SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW OF THE AUDIENCE. Cole: "And look at this folks, speaking of the fans, the TWF has invited all of the prisoners
of war that survived in Iraq as honorary guests and it is an absolute pleasure to have them here"! THE FBI's NEW THEME SONG HITS AND GUIDO MARITATO,
FRANKIE KAZARIAN AND JOHNNY STAMBOLI ALL COME OUT IN BLACK LEATHER AND SHADES. Ventura: "You're damn right it is Cole! These guys are the real heroes
of the world folks and what an honor to have them here"! Cole: "It's time for our first match and here comes the FBI, a group that got a little bigger last week"! Ventura: "Frankie Kazarian made the best move of his career Cole! The FBI is gonna rise to the top very quickly here on PrimeTime, this is a great mix of talent"! ESSA RIOS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "Remember this guy? Essa Rios, one of the most successful lightheavyweights in TWF history is back after a successful assignment in SMW! It is great to see Essa back Jesse"! Ventura: "Yeah and he gets to face the FBI, welcome back"!
Essa Rios vs. Guido Maritato w/ The FBI What a match this turned out to be. After a lock up, Rios hit consecutive armdrag takedowns before catching Maritato with a dropkick. He then whipped him to the corner but Guido got in a foot to the face followed by an armbar ddt. Guido then pulled Rios' right arm awkwardly and had him in extreme pain. But Rios fought through it and went to the ring ropes, hitting a springboard armdrag. After catching Guido with a spinwheel kick, Rios watched him roll to the floor to regroup. Stamboli and Kazarian came over to talk with him but Rios came charging and flipped over the post and onto all 3 men! The crowd loved the spot and Rios was on a roll. He got Guido back into the ring but after catching Rios with an inverted atomic drop, Guido blasted him with a clothesline. Meanwhile, Stamboli removed one of the turnbuckle pads as Kazarian had the attention of referee Mike Sparks. After reversing an irish whip, Rios went for a clothesline but Guido ducked and jumped on his back, locking in a sleeper.
But Rios backed into the corner before he went down and Guido let go of the hold. But Guido reversed an irish whip of Rios and sent him into the exposed corner. He then charged in with a body splash but
got nothing but the exposed steel bolt when Rios moved. Rios then went to the top rope and came off with his absolutely beautiful moonsault to get the 1....2.....3. Match Time: 7:46 Cole: "Oh what a
moonsault! That is a thing of beauty Jesse"! Ventura: "But the FBI is gonna make him pay for it"! IN THE RING, KAZARIAN AND STAMBOLI HAD ATTACKED RIOS AND THEY WERE HOLDING HIM UP AS GUIDO
SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. Cole: "Hey, wait a minute"! JUST THEN, THE CROWD CAME TO LIFE AS NOVA CAME RUNNING OUT AND THE FBI RETREATED. NOVA HELPED RIOS UP AS MARITATO, STAMBOLI AND KAZARIAN WALKED AWAY. Ventura: "What is he doing out here? The FBI don't want him"! Cole: "He's not here to join the FBI Jesse, he is here to thwart their plans! It was last week when Nova was turned on by his long time friend and tag team partner Frankie Kazarian and you can bet that this is far from over"!
PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SABLE IS SHOWN
HAVING HER MAKE UP DONE WHEN VAL VENIS MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE IN A LONG WHILE. Val Venis: "Well, well, well, it looks like things have gotten a lot
better around here since I've been away. So Sable, how would you like to accompany me to the ring tonight and uh, remove my towel". SABLE JUST LOOKS AT HIM AND SMILES. VENIS KINDA LAUGHS AND WALKS AWAY, LICKING HIS FINGER. COMMERCIAL BREAK.... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE... MATT HARDY IS SITTING IN HIS DRESSING ROOM LOOKING AT THE
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE WHEN THE HURRICANE MAKES IT SEEM AS IF HE FLIES FROM AROUND THE CORNER AND ENTERS THE ROOM. The Hurricane:
"Citizen Matt, what is it that you're thinking? Throwing your trusty sidekick to the wolves last week"? Matt Hardy: "Are you kidding me? Did you hear what Shane McMahon said last week, or are those stupid hurri-senses failing? Travis Wakeman is gonna be here tonight? Do you know what that means? Trust me, I will not be held accountable for
my actions". Hurricane: "Matt, you're not saying you're...... Matt Hardy: Don't you say it. I am not scared of Wakeman! Now I gotta go out there and have another tag team match with you? I am the Intercontinental champion! I should have my own skybox and be fed grapes by six foot tall models! I am the founder of Mattitude! Sometime soon, someone will want to follow it for what it is... the new era of the TWF"! MATT WALKS AWAY. Hurricane: (to himself) "The Hurri-senses are not stupid". BACK AT RINGSIDE, BATISTA IS SHOWN WALKING IN THE RING, GETTING READY FOR HIS MATCH AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS. BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS WHITE COWBOY HAT AND STICKING ONE FINGER IN THE AIR TO A LOUD POP. Cole: "Matt Hardy scared? Nah, it couldn't be". Ventura: "He's not scared Cole, he created Mattitude, are you
kidding"?! Cole: "Back to the action here as we get set for a battle of heavy hitters. Now last week on PrimeTime Jesse, Batista defeated one half of the tag team champions Chris Tirpak. What a boost it would
be for him to beat the other half tonight". Ventura: "And I predict he will Cole. Bradshaw may be a heavy hitter but Batista can take a punch and his intensity is unmatched". Batista vs. Bradshaw As the bell sounded, the two got in each other's face and a shoving match ensued. Batista threw a wild clothesline but Bradshaw ducked and caught him with a right hand. He then backed him to the corner with a barrage of knifedge chops and overhand hammers. But Batista switched positions and went to the body of Bradshaw before getting in some solid kicks to the stomach. He went for a gorilla press but Bradshaw avoided it and kicked him in the gut. He had him set up for a powerbomb but Batista countered with a backdrop. He then took Bradshaw down with a shoulder tackle but when he bounced
off the other side, Bradshaw caught him with a nice powerslam to get a very near fall. Bradshaw stayed on the attack with some heavy shots that had a lot behind them. But off an irish whip, Batista avoided being hit with a big boot and caught him with a devastating spinebuster out of nowhere. Batista then made the cover and got the 1....2....3. Match Time: 6:23 Ventura: "Wow". Cole: "This Batista is really coming into his own Jesse and I wouldn't wanna
be in his way right now". Ventura: "Well that means everyone on PrimeTime because he's on his way to the top for sure"! BACKSTAGE.... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS SITTING AT HIS DESK WHEN THE DOOR FLIES OPEN. Shane: "What the.... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS STANDING THERE. Jordan Rockwell: "Shane, is that SOB Martel on the active roster"? Shane: "Uh, no, no he's not. Come on Jordan, you knocked his lights out last week, he's not gonna want anymore". Rockwell: "He better not". ROCKWELL LEAVES AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO THE RING WHERE MASAHIRO CHONO IS AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING. A BLACK DRAGON APPEARS ON THE PRIMETRON AS "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK HITS AND DYLAN JANSENS COMES OUT. AS THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS,
THE DRAGON BREATHES FLAMES AND THE HEAT CAN BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE ARENA. Cole: "The flaming element of the four elements is on his way out here
Jesse and he's got one heck of a challenge standing in front of him tonight". Ventura: "And what about what Raven did last week, showing Jansens he had the bracelet that his now deceased girlfriend gave to him. What kind of psychological effect will that have on him"? Cole: "Well let's hope Jansens can keep a cool head. We know Raven may be the master of head games but he is a sick, sick individual and he needed some kind of leverage to ignite a group that frankly Jesse, hasn't acheived any of their goals". Ventura: "As long as his followers are patient, they will. Raven Enterprises is not crumbling as you seem to be suggesting, they are right where Raven wants them".
Dylan Jansens vs. Masahiro Chono After a brief lockup, Jansens powered Chono to the corner but when referee Brian Hebner tried to get a break, Chono got in a thumb to the eye. He then pelted Jansens' chest with some open handed slaps before a snap mare that led to a soccer style kick in the middle of the back. Chono then
focused on the left arm of Jansens, looking to immobolize it. After several rips at the arm, he pulled it down over the top rope. Jansens fell back in pain but when Chono came off the middle
turnbuckle with an elbow drop, Jansens rolled out of the way. Jansens then whipped him to the ropes but even that hurt his arm and Chono nailed a running knee lift. He went for the cover but Jansens
was up at 2. Chono whipped him to the ropes but Jansens ducked a martial arts chop and scored with a flying calf kick that started a string of offensive moves. After a russian leg sweep, Jansens saw Kanyon
and Sean O'haire coming down to ringside and was rolled up by Chono. However, he kicked out at 2. As Chono and Jansens exchanged shots, Kanyon got on the apron and Hebner was in his face, yelling at him to
leave. That allowed O'haire to pull Jansens down on the top rope backwards with a guillotine and Chono kicked him right in the jaw to get a 3 count. Match Time: 6:28 Ventura: "He got him"! Cole: "Yeha, three on one that tends to happen"! O'HAIRE AND KANYON GOT INTO THE RING LOOKING TO DO MORE DAMAGE BUT JANSENS SNAPPED AND TOOK IT TO BOTH MEN. AFTER CLOTHESLINING KANYON OUT OF THE RING,
HE BACKDROPPED O'HAIRE RIGHT ONTO HIM. JANSENS THEN ASKED FOR THE MIC AS O'HAIRE AND KANYON GOT UP AND STARTED TO BACK AWAY. Jansens: "Raven! I'm tired of this crap! Get out here and settle this like a man,
no more games"! Ventura: "He's calling him out"! A CORD STRIKES AND BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST TO A SHOWER OF BOOS. Cole: "What the heck is Brock Lesnar coming into this for"? Brock Lesnar: "Jansens, you really think it's gonna be that easy? Raven's a busy man boy, he doesn't have time to come down this aisle right now. But, he could always come from behind". RIGHT WHEN JANSENS TURNS,
RAVEN KICKS HIM IN THE GUT AND DELIVERS THE "RAVEN EFFECT". RAVEN THEN GOES AND SITS IN THE CORNER AND LETS OUT A LOUD SCREAM. Ventura: "He came through the crowd! They had that all set up"! Cole: "Raven is a no good....this is getting ridiculous! Jansens called him out like a man and like always, Raven has someone else do his work and help him out"! Ventura: "That's what Raven Enterprises is all about. What are you willing to do for the cause? Raven has a very dark side Cole,
he always has and if he can get enough followers, PrimeTime could have a very dark side"! Cole: "I dread that. But have we ever seen that much emotion out of Jansens? This is getting very serious folks and now you see the rest of the Four Elements in the ring
checking on their partner". CHRIS BENOIT, REY MYSTERIO AND CARNEY ARE SHOWN HELPING A WOOZY JANSENS TO HIS FEET. Ventura: "Too late boys, they got to him"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE...
Kurt Angle: "Well first off Idalis, let me say how good it is to be an American, wooooo! THE CROWD INSIDE LOUDLY CHEERS. But I'll tell ya what, Aries better bring the heavy artillery at Payback because rest assured, I am gonna bring a fat can of red, white and blue whoop ass! You wanna come out here every week and disrespect America and everything it stands for? Well when I beat you at Payback Aries, maybe we can let all the fans in the audience come into the ring and throw stones at you, the way they did with Mussolini! Aries, get ready, this war is about to get serious". ANGLE WALKS AWAY AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL. A COMMERCIAL FOR NAIR LOTION IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS
PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN BROCK LESNAR AND CHARLIE HAAS. Charlie Haas: "That was good work with Jansens". Brock Lesnar: "Yeah, I know. Now if you can take out Benoit the way you did RVD, we'll have no worries". LESNAR STARTS TO LAUGH AND THE
TWO SHAKE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND MATT HARDY AND THE HURRICANE COME OUT. MATT IS POINTING TO THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. AS THEY WALK DOWN THE RAMP, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF BREAKDOWN POWERBOMBING THE HURRICANE ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP. Cole: "It was just last week that we saw that vile attack by the Psych Ward and that is what The Hurricane was so hot about earlier Jesse". "DU HAST" BY RAMMSTEIN HITS AND THE PSYCH WARD COME OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. Ventura: "I think The Hurricane better just calm down, he doesn't realize how good his position is right now. Matt Hardy selected him as his very first Mattitude follower"! Cole: "And I think he's sick of being a sidekick. But tonight, the focus is on getting a tag team victory
over this hungry Psych Ward team". Mattitude vs. The Psych Ward As the match started, Crazy Shane started things
with The Hurricane and the two had a good series full of quick exchanges back and forth. After taking Hurricane over with a high hip toss, Shane caught him with a moonsault off the middle ring rope, forcing a
frustrated Matt to tag himself in by slapping Hurricane's back. Matt came in and got the best of Shane with some stinging right hands but after ducking a clothesline, Shane hit a nice wheel kick and then tagged in the big man who came in and ran Matt over with 3 consecutive clotheslines followed by a military press slam. The Hurricane tried to fly off the top rope but Breakdown caught him in mid air and ran him right into Matt. Breakdown made the tag and Crazy Shane shot himself in with a springboard clothesline. Hurricane tried to come from behind but Breakdown forced him right into Matt. Matt rolled out of the ring to stop the momentum but the crowd went nuts when Travis Wakeman came out and threw Matt back in the ring. Matt was in shock which made him susceptible for the "In the End" from Breakdown and Shane came off the top rope with the "Crash and Burn" and hooked the leg for the 1......2......3. Match Time: 6:34 Ventura: "Come on referee! Wakeman can't do that"! Cole: "Matt's got the mic"! Matt Hardy: "Wakeman! You get your ass back down here! You want a part of me, lets' go"! Cole: "Here he comes"! WAKEMAN, IN STREET CLOTHES, STARTS BACK DOWN THE RAMP. Matt: "Come on Hurricane, get in here"! WAKEMAN GETS INTO THE RING BUT THE HURRICANE JUST LOOKS ON FROM THE OUTSIDE. MATT THROWS A PUNCH BUT WAKEMAN BLOCKS AND FIRES BACK WITH A PLETHERA OF HIS OWN BEFORE DELIVERING A HARD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX. MATT ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND GRABS HIS BELT IN ANGER AS THE CROWD GOES NUTS. Ventura: "What is The Hurricane thinking? Has he lost his hurri-mind"?! Cole: "He just returned the favor, leaving Matt high and dry"! KID GUNDAM's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH HAYABUSA AND JIM CORNETTE. Cole: "Non stop action as always here on PrimeTime and still to come tonight, Charlie Haas faces the number one contender, Chris Benoit". Ventura: "Let's hear what Jim Cornette has to say. I always like to hear this man's thoughts". Jim Cornette: "As the official spokesman for the two superstars you see before you, I am out here for two reasons. One, is to inform Carney that the pinfall victory he got in the tag team match over Hayabusa last week may go down as the biggest fluke in TWF history. It'll never happen again Carney, you're nothing but an N-Sync wanna-be. Now, the production crew is in possession of the proof we have that Kid Gundam here has defeated the Ultimo Dragon before in Japan so if you idiots in that truck can put that footage up, do it now"! SOME TOUGH TO SEE, BLURRY FOOTAGE IS SHOWN ON THE PRIME TRON BUT NOT MUCH CAN BE MADE OUT. Cole: "Where did they dig that up"? Ventura: "Oh come on Cole, I saw the pin". THE FOOTAGE STOPS AND THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO. Cole: "Well we all saw last week when The Ultime Dragon made Gundam tap out". "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE RING. Ventura: "Watch it kid, you're alone"! Carney: "N-Sync wanna-be huh? You wanna see if it was a fluke? How bout we put that theory to test... right now"! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS BUT CARNEY IS STRUCK WITH A SAVOT KICK FROM GUNDAM AND THEN JUMPED ON BY BOTH MEN. CORNETTE INSTRUCTS THEM TO "MAKE HIM PAY" WHEN THE ULTIMO DRAGON COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION AND CORNETTE AND
HIS MEN QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE RING. Cole: "Well who knows what would've happened if the Ultimo Dragon didn't come out but Gundam and Hayabusa have theirs coming Jesse"! Ventura: "Cornette will have them ready like he always does! They have nothing to worry about". TWF RE-WIND SHOWS OLD FOOTAGE OF VAL VENIS IN VARIOUS MATCHES. VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "It's been months since we've seen this man Jesse and tonight,
he returns to action"! Ventura: "He abruptly quit after his girlfriend made a fool out of him and now, he wants to mess with Sable"?
"WHO BETTA THAN KANYON" IS HEARD KANYON's MUSIC HITS AS HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "He's gonna have his hands full with this
guy who's part of a Raven's Enterprises that has had a busy night tonight"! Ventura: "This guy Venis is a cheap rip off of one of my favorite wrestlers
of all time... Rick Rude"! Cole: "But he is a former TWF champion, Intercontinental and European champion! You can't knock his success".
Ventura: "Well he's in there with an experienced veteran and if he shows any signs of ring rust, he's goin' down".
Kanyon vs. Val Venis Venis looked superb in his return, hitting a powerslam and an inverted
powerbomb to pick up near falls. He also took the best Kanyon could dish out of his innovative arsenal and after a running knee lift, he delivered a russian
leg sweep. After Kanyon again kicked out at 2, Venis had him hooked up for a fisherman suplex when Sable came out wearing a long black robe. Once she got to
the end of the ramp, she shed the robe, revealing.... not much. Venis' eyes about popped out of his head and he made his way towards her. But Kanyon rolled him
up from behind to get the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 5:45 Ventura: "Kanyon got him"! Cole: "The distraction from Sable has allowed Kanyon to pick up the win"! Ventura: "What an idiot Venis is! For being a ladies man like he claims to be, he sure has bad luck with them"! SABLE WAS SHOWN SMILING AT VENIS WHO WAS ALSO SMILING DESPITE THE LOSS. Cole: "He doesn't look like he has bad luck to me, I think she likes him". COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR HULK FOR PS2, NINTENDO GAMECUBE, XBOX AND PC IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS IN THE RING WITH THE NEWEST SUPERSTAR ON PRIMETIME, THE BEAST AND THE 13TH APOSTLE. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and Shane McMahon has called the newest PrimeTime superstar The Beast to the ring".
Ventura: "And his handler the 13th Apostle"! Shane McMahon: "I wanted to take this oppurtunity to present to you the prized free agent that I lured away from Stephanie, the Beast. He is exclusive to PrimeTime and wait till you see what he can do in the ring. This man.....
(Shane McMahon is about to continue to speak after a short delay when the 13th Apostle grabs his arm and takes the microphone away from him. The 13th Apostle is pacing back and forth as The Beast stands emotionless behind Shane. The 13th Apostle finally begins to speak) 13TH APOSTLE: Hold on just one second there Mr. Shane McMahon. You have done your share of talking out here, and now, it's time for The Beast thoughts and opinions to be heard. You of course know that The Fallen are against Corporate America...but I don't think these people truly understand the whole concept. I don't believe that they understand why we say down with Corporate America. So I'm going to explain why The Beast here and I are against Corporate America.
See...we're against all those fortune 500 companies. No not the employees that work for these companies making billions of dollars. We aren't against the little guys like the janitor or secretaries. We're against the big boss, the CEO, the chairman of these fortune 500, billionaire companies. We are against the guys that swim in thier own green paper backs, while those who work for them are struggling just to pay rent so they have a roof over thier heads.
We're against the models, the actors, the big name superstars of entertainment television. We're against all that stupid, idiotic political crap that George W. Bush mummbles about day in and day out.
Shane McMahon, around here, since you are the general manager of Prime Time...you are like those CEO's. But of the TWF, your just Prime Time's General Manager. And another thing, you haven't crossed any lines or boundaries with either one of us, so we have nothing to settle with you. But if the situation were any different, and if you were the man in charge of the TWF...I guarantee you this...you wouldn't still be standing right now...
(The 13th Apostle gets up in Shane McMahon's face)
13TH APOSTLE: So...Shane McMahon...when you look out to these fans, you see that many of them are struggling to put food on thier tables. You watch the television and see little boys and girls from all over the world starving, diseased, and dying because they don't have enough money. Thier parents don't have jobs because the rulers of thier country don't have enough funds to pay thier parents' wages.
Everyone keeps asking why The Fallen is against Corporate America...and now, you know why.
Shane: "Uh, so what you guys are trying to say...... JUST THEN, A VOICE IS HEARD FROM THE ENTRANCE RAMP, IT's RAVEN. Raven: "What they are trying to say is that in more ways than one, they are followers as well". Cole: "What? I don't like the sound of that". Raven: "Beast, you don't wanna have to listen to him do you? You don't have to. All you have to do is follow my lead Beast".
THE BEAST LOOKS OVER AT THE 13TH APOSTLE. Raven: "Think about it Beast, you won't regret the decision to help me with my masterpiece". "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HITS AND RAVEN LEAVES AS SHANE McMAHON TRIES TO TALK TO THE BEAST AND HIS HANDLER. Ventura: "It looks like this guy's got a choice to make Cole". Cole: "Raven has tried to recruit the Beast as a
follower and folks, him joining that cause is not a good thought". BACKSTAGE.... CAMERAS BACKSTAGE FIND RAVEN AFTER JUST MAKING HIS STATEMENT.
REY MYSTERIO COMES UP. Rey Mysterio: "Hey Raven, I came to collect". Raven: "Came to collect what? Trust me son, even if I give you a quarter, you're not tall enough for
the ride". MYSTERIO GETS IN RAVEN's FACES. Mysterio: "I want the bracelet you stole from Dylan, now". RAVEN LOOKS OVER MYSTERIO's SHOULDER AND SEES LOKI STANDING
THERE. Raven: "Yeah, right behind ya there". WHEN MYSTERIO TURNS AROUND, LOKI KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE, SNAPPING HIS HEAD BACK. RAVEN AND LOKI THEN WALK AWAY
AS MYSTERIO IS SHAKEN UP. BACK AT RINGSIDE, SEAN O'HAIRE IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING. Ventura: "Loki just kicked his head off Cole"! Cole: "What the heck is going on tonight?
Don't tell me Raven has gotten into Loki's head too"! "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP WITH HIS TAG TEAM BELT AROUND HIS WAIST. Ventura: "Raven is not ready
to give up on his masterpiece Cole". Cole: "Well we're getting back to the action here folks but what the heck is his masterpiece? I don't understand that logic". Ventura: "Of course not because Raven is
far to intellectual for you Cole. RAW brags about having Christopher Nowinski but I doubt his IQ is as high as Raven's". Cole: "Well right now, we're gonna change the subject to the upcoming contest between two
of the young guns here on PrimeTime". Ventura: "Tirpak may be one half of the tag team champions Cole but O'haire has been on a roll as of late and I think he'll defeat Tirpak tonight"!
Chris Tirpak vs. Sean O'haire This was definitely the match of the night. Both men had multiple near falls after impact moves. O'haire caught Tirpak with a martial arts spin kick
before whipping him to the ropes and hitting a spinning backhand to the midsection. But when he bounced off the ropes, Tirpak powerslammed him and hit a perfect elbow drop. Suddenly, Kanyon came out and got on the apron but Bradshaw
followed. Tirpak hit Kanyon with a right hand, knocking him to the floor and Bradshaw took over from there. But when he turned around, O'haire was waiting with his reverse death valley driver and he hooked the leg for the 1...2....3. Match Time: 9:18
Cole: "Tirpak and Bradshaw were able to stop Kanyon's interference attempt but O'haire used the momentary distraction to pick up the win"! Ventura: "That's the mark of a true pro Cole and O'haire is definitely that". Cole: "Suddenly, the tag team champs
have fallen into a slump in singles action".
"Rock Hard" by Ja Rule hits as Jordan Rockwell comes out in his street clothes wearing a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shirt to a huge pop.
Ventura: "Here comes a marked man". Cole: "I know you're still a little chapped about Rockwell decking Rick Martel on the fashion show last week Jesse, but I'd say ninety nine percent of our viewers loved it"!
Jordan Rockwell: "Albuquerque, New Mexicoooo"!
THE FANS CHEER LOUDLY.
Before I get started, I want to send my get well wishes to Stone Cold Steve Austin who's sitting at home right now and I know he's watching the TWF so Stone Cold, you get better and get back to the TWF".
CHANTS OF "AUSTIN" RING THROUGH THE ARENA.
Rockwell: "Now the reason I came out here is to address something I didn't get to last week due to that numbnut Martel. Back at Evil Intentions, I had a match against Shane McMahon and I won, but I gotta be honest when I say that at the pay per view, I gained a new respect for you Shane. Fact is, you took everything I had and you came back at me with all that you had and you fought to the end. So what respect I didn't have for you going into the match you earned at the end of it. Now thing is, you and I both know that when it comes to trust, that needs to be worked on again, but right here in front of the world, I say this, any time, any place and any where, I gotcha back". THE FANS AGAIN CHEER
Now lemme address you Martel. You walk in here and act like you're god's gift to PrimeTime and you say you don't understand why all the women are attracted to me and why these people love me. Fact is, in the past two years, I earned their (pointing to the fans) respect by coming out here into this ring and busting my ass every single show. And and as far as your assistant Nidia goes, well hey, you can have her, I don't deal with used goods anyway"!
THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS AND LAUGHS UNTIL NIDIA MARCHES OUT AND STARTS DOWN THE RAMP. Voice: "No Nidia, he's not worth it, come back girl. RICK MARTEL STEPS OUT. Rockwell, are you kidding me? Look at you... and then look at me. Look at this face. You have nothing on me. Last week, I tried to give you a chance to be on the number one talk show in the world, the fashion show. But, acting like the immature, overgrown sixteen year old that you are, you decided to try and put a blemish on this face. Now, I would come down there and take care of you myself, but I found a couple guys to do it for me". Cole: "Whoa look out"! JUST THEN, ROCKWELL IS BLINDSIDED BY JAMAL AND ROSEY WHO CAME OUT OF THE CROWD AND JUMPED HIM. AFTER INCAPACITATING ROCKWELL, MARTEL AND NIDIA CAME DOWN AND MARTEL BEGAN TO HAMMER AWAY ON HIM WITH SOME HARD RIGHT HANDS. JAMAL AND ROSEY HOLD ROCKWELL UP AS NIDIA PULLS OUT A BOTTLE OF ARROGANCE, READY TO SPRAY IT IN ROCKWELL's FACE WHEN RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Ventura: "What is Rhyno doing"? RHYNO SIZES MARTEL UP FOR THE GORE BUT JAMAL PULLS HIM OUT OF THE WAY. THE 4 OF THEM ESCAPE AS RHYNO CHECKS ON ROCKWELL. Cole: "Well if not for the manbeast, who knows what would've happened here! They were trying to blind him with that arrogance"! Ventura: "They were trying to freshen him up! Have you smelled the guy"?! Cole: "Oh right. There intentions were obvious"! THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK BEFORE COMMERCIAL. A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CHARLIE HAAS IS ON HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE TO A LOT OF BOOS.
Cole: "It's main event time and here comes Charlie Haas, the man I like to call a hired gun"! Ventura: "He's done his job well lately Cole and when he gets this win tonight, he's gonna vault to the top of the ranks". "WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS AS CHRIS BENOIT COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "That's a lot easier said than done because his opponent is none other than the rabid wolverine who will try and add the Universal title to Four Elements after defeating Rhyno last week to become number one contender"! Ventura: "You talk about easier said than done? Benoit can't beat
Lesnar, there's no way". Cole: "When he's at the top of his game, Benoit can beat anyone"! Charlie Haas vs. Chris Benoit
This match had a great amatuer feel to it as both men showed their superior matwork. Control was held by both men but they both came up with great escapes. After escaping a front facelock, Benoit ducked a
clothesline and took a wrap around into a great release german suplex. Benoit then belted Haas with his knifedge chops before catching him with a running forearm. But after bouncing off the ropes, Haas caught him in the Exploder suplex. Benoit countered but was flattened with a clothesline. Haas hit a belly to belly suplex but only got a 2 count. He got three more two counts after several suplex variations. Frustrated, Haas went out and threw the timekeeper out of his chair before folding it up and taking it into the ring. But RVD came out and took it out of Haas' hands when he lifted it above his head. Haas turned and took an errant swing at RVD which allowed Benoit to come from behind with another german suplex. He then made a throat slashing gesture before going to the top rope and hitting his diving headbutt. He hooked the leg to get the 1......2.....3. Match Time: 7:01 Cole: "Charlie Haas has been given a taste of his own medicine
from RVD"! Ventura: "RVD better continue to keep an eye over his shoulder after a cheap move like that"! RVD AND BENOIT ARE SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP AND RVD DOES HIS THUMB POSE FOR THE CROWD AS HAAS ANGRILY KICKS THE BOTTOM ROPE. Cole: "Well at Payback, Haas is gonna get a chance to take RVD out and before we go Jesse, we wanna talk about Payback"! THE PAYBACK LOGO APPEARS FOLLOWED BY A PROMO GRAPHIC FOR EACH CONFIRMED MATCH. Ventura: "As Michael just told you, RVD will go one on one with Charlie Haas"! Cole: "And as we heard earlier, Aries will face the red,white and blue representing Kurt Angle"! Ventura: "Matt Hardy will defend his newly won Intercontinental title against Travis Wakeman"! Cole: "And I can't wait for this one, The Ultimo Dragon will make his in ring debut against the man who contends he's beaten him before, Kid Gundam"! Ventura: "Well here's the one I can't wait for, Dylan Jansens will take on Raven". Cole: "That one has gotten extremely personal fans but another member of Four Elements will have a big match when Carney challenges Hayabusa for the TWF Lightheavyweight title"! Ventura: "And my guy, the baddest man on the planet Brock Lesnar takes on the challenge of the much smaller, not nearly as powerful Chris Benoit"! Cole: "Don't count Benoit out folks because there's one thing he has and that's heart and determination andd I feel he is a legitimate threat to Lesnar's reign! But this just in.... A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO COMES UP. Shane McMahon signed a tag team title match for next
week between Chris Tirpak and Bradshaw against Chono and Muta but moments ago, Sean O'haire and Kanyon convinced someone to put them in the match"! Ventura: "So it's now a three way fans but Michael, before we run out of time, there's something I gotta do". VENTURA TAKES OFF HIS HEADSET AND LEAVES THE
TABLE WITH A MICROPHONE. Cole: "What? Where are you going"? Jesse Ventura: "I don't know how many of you here in Albuquerque are aware of it, but tonight, we have the seven prisoners of war that were held and torchered in Iraq. Come on up here guys". HESITANT AT FIRST, THE 7 POW's ENTER THE RING.
Cole: "Give them a round of applause". THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET WITH A STANDING OVATION. Ventura: "You guys are exactly what makes me so proud to be a citizen of this great country. FANS CHEER. Because you guys were captured, beaten, torchered and who knows what else, but because of who you are, you survived. You went down to Iraq because you believe in this country and you fought for all of our rights! THE FANS CHEERS GET LOUDER. And right here tonight, on behalf of all of us here in the TWF, I wanna thank you all"! ARIES APPEARS ON THE RAMP. Aries: "But if not for the United States government, those poor people in front of you would never have had to go through what they did Ventura. You call this country great? ARIES GETS IN THE RING. Having your soldiers captured, beaten, torchered, that's great? And for what? Because you thought a country like Iraq was against you? America is so great, yet they wanna attack everyone in the world, because they feel they can? Let me tell you something..... Ventura: "No let me tell you something you son of a bitch! You are not gonna come out here and bad mouth America in my presence anymore! Because I love this country and if you don't.... then get the hell out of here"! Cole: "Thank you Jesse"! Aries: "Okay, okay fine. You're a typical American Ventura, solving problems like this. But that's fine, I'll leave". Ventura: "Go"! ARIES TURNS TO LEAVE BUT PULLS SOME SORT OF DEVICE OUT OF HIS PANTS AND SHOOTS A FIREBALL IN VENTURA's FACE. HE THEN LEAVES IN A HURRY. Cole: "Oh my god"! COLE LEAVES THE BROADCAST POSITION AND GETS IN THE RING AS THE POW's CHECK ON THE FALLEN VENTURA. THE FANS ARE IN SHOCK AS PRIMETIME GOES OFF THE AIR. OFF AIR.....
