THE PENN STATE NITTANY LION LOGO IS SHOWN OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS AS UPRISING's THEME MUSIC PLAYS. AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN COME INTO THE PICTURE AS FANS ARE SHOWN FILING INTO THE ARENA IN THE BACKGROUND. Al Snow: "Welcome to Uprising everyone as we prepare for what should be a scorching PrimeTime, the first one after Payback Honky". Honky Tonk Man: "You'd think the fans here were here for a Honky Tonk Man concert"! Snow: "Oh right. Tonight on Uprising fans we have the brand new Lightheavyweight champion Carney in action so let's head down to the ring to get to the action"! THE CAMERA GOES DOWN TO THE RING TO SHOW VAL VENIS ENTERING TO A GOOD POP. Val Venis vs. Breakdown Val Venis squared off against the hard hitting member of the Psych Ward and had a lot of trouble early. Breakdown overpowered Venis with several hard shots to the back and a gorilla press slam. But after ducking a running boot, Venis delivered a spinebuster and then locked in a reverse figure four leg lock. Breakdown tried to fight to the ropes but he couldn't make it and tapped out. SMW Match: "The Fallen Angel" Chris Daniels vs. Mike Modest Modest was in control against his longtime rival but Daniels was better on this night, hitting the "Last Rites" to get the win. Rhyno vs. Charlie Haas Haas really took Rhyno off his game, outworking him on the mat. But a surge of adrenaline brought Rhyno back into it and Haas had a hard time holding it off. After having the Exploder suplex countered, Haas missed with a clothesline and ran right into the "Gore" as Rhyno picked up the win. Non-Title: Loki vs. LHC Carney There was some excellent spots in this match as by this time, most of the crowd was in their seats and this match got them pumped up. Loki battered Carney with his trademark kicks but the resilient Carney took them all and came back with a spinwheel kick. But as the match spilled to the floor, Jim Cornette led Kid Gundam and Hayabusa out to attack Carney. But he was soon saved by Rey Mysterio and the 2 held the other 3 men off well. By this time the referee had thrown the match out as a no contest but the action was back in the ring. After subduing Rey-Rey and Carney, Cornette got ready to hit Carney with his tennis racket but Chris Benoit and Dylan Jansens came out and thwarted that plan. After a missile dropkick on Loki by Carney, Rey got a measure of revenge against him with the 6-1-9 as the crowd went nuts. 4 Elements stood tall in the ring and their theme music played. Snow: "I'd say we're ready for PrimeTime, wow"! HTM: "I'm sure we'll see more of the Four Elements on PrimeTime but they better be careful Snow, they're making too many enemies"! Snow: "Dylan Jansens and Chris Benoit are in tag team action on PrimeTime plus Jordan Rockwell battles Rick Martel in what we now know will be a hog pen match so don't go anywhere, keep it right here on FOX for TWF PrimeTime"! THE SHOT FADES OUT AND THE FOX LOGO IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE PRIMETIME LOGO.
PRIMETIME's MONTAGE ROLLS SHOWING IT's SUPERSTARS IN BLACK AND WHITE WITH AN ORANGE HAZE AROUND THEM AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS. THE CAMPUS ARENA THEN COMES INTO VIEW SHOWING ALMOST 10,000 FANS HAVING ONE HELL OF A TIME. THE JAPANESE THEME OF NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HITS AND CHONO AND MUTA COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Michael Cole: "Just days removed from TWF Payback, we are live in Nittany Lion country! Hello folks and welcome to PrimeTime along with my partner Jesse "The Body" Ventura, I'm Michael Cole"! Jesse Ventura: "And we're doing things the way PrimeTime is known for Cole, jumping right into the action, not wasting time talking"! "DU HAST" BY RAMMSTEIN HITS AND CRAZY SHANE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Cole: "Interesting opening bout here as Crazy Shane of Psych Ward will be in singles action against The Great Muta and Jesse, Breakdown is nowhere to be seen". Ventura: I hate to say it Cole but Breakdown brings Shane down. Shane has one hell of a career ahead of him and I don't see Breakdown as part of it". Cole: "He's got a tough draw tonight in Muta who does have his partner Chono with him". Ventura: "Shane's gotta use his speed and high flying ability to win this. He can't get into a hand to hand combat battle with Muta". The Great Muta w/ Masahiro Chono vs. Crazy Shane As the bell sounded, the two locked up and it was Muta who got in a rake of the eyes followed by some stiff martial arts kicks to the body. Shane did his best to block the barrage of kicks but some still found the mark. After a thrust to the throat, Muta put Shane over the middle rope
and then turned referee Jim Korderas away as Chono pulled him down over the rope. Muta then jumped on his back before delivering a backdrop suplex. Muta covered him but Shane was up at 2. Muta then
whipped him in and went for a backhand but Shane ducked and came off with a springboard into an impressive cross body for a near fall. Shane stayed on him, delivering a high elevation backbody drop followed
by a swinging neckbomb. Shane then went to the top rope but instead of going for Muta, he dove onto Chono on the floor, drawing a big cheer from the crowd. When he got back in, Muta was on him with some mongolian
chops but again off an irish whip, Shane this time avoided a spin kick to the head and hit a nice flying forearm. He then kipped up and set up for a superkick but Muta avoided it and went for a reverse ddt but Shane escaped and hit a russian leg sweep when Breakdown slowly made his way down the ramp. He acted like he was gonna hit Chono but when Shane bounced off the ropes, Breakdown tripped him up. Shane turned in disbelief at his partner but when he turned back around, Muta hit an amazing flying wizard that knocked him silly to get the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 6:42 AS MUTA CELEBRATED BY SPITTING HIS MIST IN THE AIR, BREAKDOWN SLOWLY WALKED AWAY. Ventura: "What just happened Cole"? Cole: "I'm not sure! Breakdown for whatever reason just cost Shane this match which turns into a big victory for Muta"! Ventura: "Well I can't understand that Cole. Can he not stand the success his partner has been enjoying"? BACKSTAGE.... SHANE IS TALKING WITH A FEMALE STAGEHAND WHEN NOVA AND ESSA RIOS COME OVER. Nova: "Hey Shane". Shane McMahon: "Hey, what's up guys"? Nova: "We want a match"! Shane: "A match? Okay, against who"? RIOS TRIES TO TELL HIM BUT HIS ENGLISH IS VERY BROKEN. Shane: "Uh... excuse me"? Nova: "Come on Shane, I got that. We want the FBI.... tonight"! Shane: "Okay then, after what happened at Payback, I think you two deserve that. You got it". Rios: "You welcome". Nova: "Nah man, tell him thank you". Rios: "Thank you". Shane: "No problem boys". A COMMERCIAL FOR MOUNTAIN DEW CODE RED IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS,

"Are you kidding me? You two wish you could have someone like me". JUST THEN, BATISTA WALKS OVER, STARING DOWN BOTH MEN. Bradshaw: "You got a problem big man"? Batista: "I just might". TIRPAK GETS IN HIS FACE. Tirpak: "Oh yeah, whatcha gonna do about it"? Bradshaw: "Hold on Chris, I got it. If you can find a partner, we'll put the tag team titles up tonight. Hell, you can pick her if ya want". HE POINTS AT SABLE BEFORE HE AND TIRPAK WALK AWAY. SABLE LOOKS AT BATISTA. Sable: "I know just who we can get. Those titles are ours". 4 ELEMENTS DRESSING ROOM.... REY MYSTERIO AND CARNEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THEIR CONFRONTATION WITH LOKI, KID GUNDAM AND HAYABUSA ON UPRISING AS CHRIS BENOIT IS SHOWN LIFTING WEIGHTS. DYLAN JANSENS REACHES INTO A GYM BAG AND PULLS OUT THE BRACELET RAVEN TOOK
FROM HIM. Dylan Jansens: (startled) "What the....."? Rey Mysterio: "Alright! It's Ashley's bracelet Dylan"! Jansens: "Which one of you guys got it back"? BENOIT, CARNEY AND MYSTERIO ALL JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Carney: "It wasn't any of us man". Jansens: "Then how'd I get it back"? BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE FBI's THEME MUSIC HITS AND THE 3 OF THEM COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and we are set for tag team action"! Ventura: "Just wait till Raven finds out about that bracelet"! Cole: "Oh come on, it meant nothing to Raven, he just wanted it to try and weaken the spirit of Dylan Jansens but it didn't work because he was still enflamed by the dragon at Payback"! NOVA's THEME HITS AND HE AND ESSA RIOS COME OUT TOGETHER TO A GOOD POP. Ventura: "I'm tellin' you Cole, someone is gonna pay for rummaging through Raven's stuff"! Cole: "Oh, you mean returning the favor? Jesse it's been made clear that Nova has befriended Essa Rios to get some help against the FBI and he's been just that". Ventura: "And in exchange, he's teaching him english? I'm sorry Michael I just don't agree with that. The man should be required to.... Cole: "Oh come on Jesse, after all that defending the United States you did, you should know better than to say something like that. Rios deserves to be here because he is a talented superstar and we are happy to have him on PrimeTime"! Ventura: "Well the FBI is not and they're gonna do their best to take him out here". Cole: "It'll be Guido and Johnny The Bull here but don't forget about Frankie Kazarian at ringside". Essa Rios and Nova vs. Guido Maritato and Johnny " The Bull" Stamboli After a good series between Guido and Rios, Guido tagged in the Bull and he used the advantage he had in the power
department on Rios. Rios went for an asai moonsault but Stamboli caught him and delivered a running powerslam. Rios got up but Stamboli was all over him with some clubbing shots to the back followed by a gutwrench suplex. He tagged Guido back in and after 2 european uppercuts, he wrenched the arm back but Rios ran up the turnbuckle and hit a nice flipping arm drag before making the tag to Nova. Nova came in ready to make a statement and he hit a sunset flip to get a 2 count. He then caught an unsuspecting Kazarian with a flying plancha but when he got up, Stamboli ran him over with a clothesline. Stamboli then distracted referee Mike Sparks as Kazarian used the sleeve of his leather jacket to choke Nova. He then rolled Nova
into Guido who locked in a mexican surfboard. Nova was in a lot of trouble but Guido relinquished the hold and tagged Stamboli back in. Nova took a lot of punishment from both men but with Guido in, he landed on his feet after a backbody drop attempt and tagged in
Rios. Guido didn't see it and Rios caught him with a flying headscissor. Stamboli came into the ring but Rios and Nova knocked him right back out with a double dropkick. Suddenly, Nova took out Kazarian with a baseball slide and then ducked a clothesline attempt by Guido and picked him up for a backdrop suplex. Right as he hit the mat with him, Rios landed a perfectly timed moonsault that brought the crowd to their feet and hooked his leg for the 1.....2.....3. Cole: "It may have come a little late, but Nova and Essa Rios have gotten their payback on the FBI"! Ventura: "That was an unbelievable double team move Cole! No one's gonna kick out after that"! NOVA's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND RIOS LEAVE TO A GOOD CHEER. Cole: "Keep your eyes on these two folks, they are creating a lot of chemistry as a team"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOWN RAVEN STANDING WITH KANYON AND SEAN O'HAIRE. Raven: "I realize you don't have a match tonight Sean. But can't you for once put your personal aspirations second to the goal of the group? I mean, ever heard of taking one for the team? The Four Elements, they are trying to change the destiny of Raven Enterprises. They are trying to compromise the fate of PrimeTime. But most importantly, they are trying to unravel my masterpiece. They must be stopped. That's why tonight..... my partner will be The Beast". COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, RICK MARTEL IS TRYING TO FIND
SOME OF HIS OLD GEAR TO WRESTLE IN. Jamal: "Just pick something Rick, you ain't got all night". Rosey: "He's right man". Rick Martel: "Have you two seen that
hog pen out there? You have to make sure that no matter what, I don't go anywhere near it. Can you imagine what that would do to my profile"? NIDIA COMES FROM BEHIND AND PUTS A HAND ON MARTEL's SHOULDER. Nidia: "But imagine what it would do to blemish that pretty boy Rockwell". MARTEL GETS A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE. Martel: "Now you're talkin'". BACK AT RINGSIDE, BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "Well he was taken to the limit by Chris Benoit at Payback but Brock Lesnar is still the Universal champ"! Ventura: "And even though I missed the matchup Cole, I have never been more impressed with one man than Brock Lesnar! He is the best the TWF has ever seen in my opinion"! Brock Lesnar: "Yeah that's right, just like you knew I would, I am here, although I'm not glad to be, at Penn State University. THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS.
Ya know, when I was at the University of Minnesota, we used to embarass you guys every year! THE CROWD BOOS SOME MORE. Much like I embarassed Chris Benoit at Payback"! Cole: "That's not true".
Lesnar: "So Shane, in recent months, I've taken out the best PrimeTime has to offer in succession. First it was Wakeman, then Rockwell. Then I beat RVD twice and now the rabid wolverine. So who you gonna throw at me next, a sabre tooth tiger"? Ventura: "A sabre tooth tiger couldn't even beat this man". Lesnar: "I mean, you'd be better off declaring this belt inactive and just letting me add it to my trophy collection Shane. "HEAR COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Cole: "Well here comes the boss and I think he's gonna have other ideas"! Shane McMahon: "I'll have to admit Brock, you're everything you say you are. In fact, you are no longer the next big thing, you are the big thing. But if you remember right, who was it that gave you your start? Who was it that saw all of that in you from the beginning? That's right, I brought you to PrimeTime with all those high expectations included. But Brock, unfortunately for you, no one man is bigger than my show! So...... JUST THEN, "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT AND GOES RIGHT BY SHANE TO THE RING. Ventura: "What the hell is Matt Hardy doing interrupting"? Matt Hardy: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not forget what's most important tonight! And that is me getting my Intercontinental title rematch with Wakeman Shane and I want it tonight"! Shane: "Well that's kinda funny Matt, because there's no rematch clause in that contract". Cole: "Uh oh". Shane: "But I will give you a chance to earn it, right there in that very ring! THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER. That's right, tonight you will face Rob Van Dam one on one! Oh,
and one other thing, the match will have two outside enforcers, just to keep things in check. And they will be the Universal champion Brock Lesnar and the Intercontinental champion Travis Wakeman"! THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER SOME MORE AS "HERE COMES THE MONEY"
HITS AGAIN AND SHANE WALKS AWAY. Ventura: "He shouldn't have to earn his rematch"! Cole: "It wasn't in the contract but all he's gotta do is beat RVD.... good luck"! "WHO BETTA THAN KANYON" IS HEARD AS KANYON COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND A LOT OF HEAT.
Ventura: "I can't believe that decision! Wakeman should be a man and give him a rematch". Cole: "Staying with the action here on PrimeTime and this is a match I've really been looking forward to Jesse"! FIRE SPEWS FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRY WAY AND A JAPANESE THEME
IS HEARD AS THE ULTIMO DRAGON COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. Ventura: "A vast contrast in styles here Michael but I gotta go with Kanyon. He is one of the more innovative wrestlers around". Cole: "The Ultimo Dragon started his career here on PrimeTime off with a bang at Payback, defeating Kid Gundam in impressive fashion"! Ventura: "So now they're even right? Because of Gundam's win in Japan"? Cole: "That was never proven Jesse and is most likely not true but tonight, the Dragon's got a much different opponent to be wary of in Kanyon"!
Kanyon vs. The Ultimo Dragon As the bell sounded, Ultimo lunged at Kanyon a few times but could not get him to bite. Finally he went at him and drove him to the corner but Kanyon got in some heavy shots to the back. The Dragon took them well and hit 5 straight knifedge chops before going for a whip to the corner. But Kanyon reversed it and followed in. Dragon tried to sling over him but Kanyon's height helped him catch Ultimo on his shoulder and drop him with the snake eyes followed by a float over russian leg sweep that almost drew a 3 count. Kanyon then whipped him in but Ultimo ducked a clothesline and backflipped into the ropes, coming back with a springing back kick to the face that sent Kanyon spawling through the ropes to the floor. The Dragon then scaled the ropes and hit the move he made famous, a picture perfect asai moonsault. He rolled Kanyon back in but moments later, Kanyon dropped him with a modified swinging neackbreaker and covered him for a 2 count. He then set him on the top turnbuckle and climbed up, looking to bring him off with a backdrop suplex. But after he leaped off, the Dragon floated over on top of him and nearly got a 3 count. Kanyon kicked out just in time. Ultimo then went for an asai moonsault in the ring but Kanyon moved and bounced off the ropes, hitting a legdrop to the back of the head. He then pulled him up for a german suplex but Ultimo blocked it and used a go behind right into the Dragon Sleeper! In the center of the ring, Kanyon realized there was no way out and he tapped. Match Time: 6:30 Cole: "Oh what a match! He caught him out of nowhere with that paralyzing Dragon Sleeper"! Ventura: "He sure did Michael, Kanyon wasn't ready for that"! Cole: "Once he sets that in, it's all over and the Ultimo Dragon is two and 0"! Ventura: "I'm starting to see why Raven went in another direction for a partner tonight". KANYON WAS SHOWN AND HE HIT THE MAT IN ANGER AS THE ULTIMO DRAGON LEFT TO A BIG CHEER WITH HIS ARMS RAISED. BACKSTAGE..... IDALIS IS SHOWN STANDING WITH THE HURRICANE. Idalis: "Hurricane, you have something to tell all your fans out there"? Hurricane: "As you know citizen Idalis, I was approached just weeks ago by the legendary Robin. After a long search, I have found a man to form the dynamic duo with me. So fear not Hurri-fans, evil will hit a downward spiral very soon and the TWF will once again be a safe place". THE HURRICANE LEAPS OUT OF THE PICTURE AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK... A COMMERCIAL FOR TWIX IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE TV ACTS LIKES IT's GOING OUT. WHEN THE PICTURE COMES BACK, A DARK SHADOW IS SHOWN
SITTING AT A DESK. A LIGHT TURNS ON ON THE DESK, ILLUMINATING THE FACE OF ARIES WHO IS SURROUNDED BY WORLD WAR II PROPAGANDA. Aries: "Welcome to anti-American television. After all my ranting, after
all my raving about the weaknesses of the United States government, the best you could send at me was that chump Kurt Angle? He proved futile, as I knew he would. But no bombs? No missiles? Unchracaterisitic for you barbaric Americans. I am surprised by everything but my victory. I know you are now waving the white flag and I am declaring total victory over America. Your country needs help, before there are more catastrophes". THE SHOT AGAIN ACTS LIKE
IT IS GOING OUT BUT AS IT REFOCUSES, THE ARENA COMES BACK INTO VIEW. Cole: "What was that about"? Ventura: "That man is really pushing it Cole. He'd be best never showing up around here again". "WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS
AS CHRIS BENOIT AND DYLAN JANSENS COME OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "Well he has declared total victory over America and as for Kurt Angle, I know you're not gonna wanna hear this Jesse but he was taken to a local hospital right after his match at Payback and
he received eleven stitches in his head from the shot with a lead pipe by.... Ventura: "Yes it was by me Cole and I apologized to Kurt over and over again! Definitely the low point of my professional career"! THE LIGHTS GO DIM AND "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HITS AND RAVEN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "Well here comes Raven as we get set for another big tag team match and I gotta ask, does this mean The Beast has accepted Raven's offer"? Ventura: "I would assume Cole. We know Raven's courtship of The Beast has been going on since his arrival here in the TWF"! BEFORE THE BELL SOUNDED, RAVEN ATTACKED JANSENS BUT BENOIT HELPED HIM OUT. JANSENS AND BENOIT DELIVERED A DOUBLE BACKBODY DROP AND BENOIT HIT A NICE GERMAN SUPLEX AND THE BEAST STILL HAD NOT COME OUT AS THE
BELL SOUNDED. Ventura: "Where the hell is The Beast"?! Cole: "The ref called for the bell, this one is underway"! Chris Benoit and Dylan Jansens vs. Raven Raven was at the mercy of Benoit an Jansens and after a jumping calf kick by Jansens, Benoit hit his trademark diving headbutt off the top rope. Jansens then locked in the "Dragon Stretch" and Raven quickly tapped out. Match Time: 3:21 "WHATEVER" BLARED AND THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED AS JANSENS AND BENOIT LEFT TO A GREAT RESPONSE. Cole: "Things are on the up and up for the Four Elements as they have one upped Raven again"! Ventura: "When you look at the tag team rankings here on PrimeTime, you gotta figure that the tandem of Benoit and Jansens is near the top"! Raven: "Wait! Someone better get out here and do some explaining"! THE 13TH APOSTLE WALKS OUT AND GETS IN THE RING. Cole: "Well there's the handler of The Beast, the 13th Apostle". Raven: "What the hell was that?! You two were supposed to help me destroy those two, you gave me your word"! 13th Apostle: "Raven, when we came to the TWF, we said that we hate Corporate America. That includes someone trying to operate a bogus Enterprise with aspirations of some sort of takeover. Raven, you are exactly what The Beast..... JUST THEN, RAVEN KICKS THE 13TH APOSTLE IN THE GUT AND SETS HIM UP FOR THE "RAVEN EFFECT" BUT THE BEAST RUNS OUT AND BLASTS
HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE. HE THEN GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR AND LAUNCHES HIM OUT OF THE RING. "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA THEN HITS AS RAVEN LEAVES THROUGH THE CROWD. Cole: "I guess that answers our question about The Beast's decision! It's a resounding no"! Ventura: "Things just sunk lower for Raven
and you gotta wonder where he'll go from here". BACKSTAGE..... TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN BEATING A PUNCHING BAG IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WHEN TRISH COMES OVER TO HIM. Trish: "Trav, can you stop for a second? You don't even have a match tonight".
Travis Wakeman: "No, but I'm gonna be an enforcer". Trish: "Listen, I think maybe we should congratulate Jordan sometime on Lita's pregnancy". Wakeman: "Yeah, that'd be cool. We'll do something for them". Trish: "Okay good". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND BRADSHAW AND CHRIS TIRPAK COME OUT TO A GOOD POP WITH THE TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAISTS. Ventura: "It's been a night loaded with big tag team matches but none bigger than this Michael Cole"! Cole: "This all came about after a confrontation between the champs and Sable who got her new man Batista involved"! BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND A SCANTILY CLAD SABLE LEADS HIM OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Ventura: "I like this combination Cole. Has anyone on PrimeTime been hotter than Batista? And is there anyone in the TWF hotter than Sable"? Cole: "Sable may have found her meal ticket
but who is there partner"? SUDDENLY, MR. WRESTLING III COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Ventura: "It's Mr. Wrestling"! Cole: "Mr. Wrestling III offrered his services to Sable at Payback and how convenient, she's already using them tonight"! Ventura: "Well if they can rake in the tag team titles, it'll be worth it Cole"! Cole: "It's gonna take a great effort. A lot of people have knocked the team of Tirpak and Bradshaw but they have held these titles for months now and they have defended them with a lot of success"! TWF Tag Team
Title Match Challengers.... Batista and Mr. Wrestling III w/ Sable vs. Chris Tirpak and Bradshaw Batista and Mr. Wrestling had a tough time deciding who was gonna start the match and Bradshaw came over with a double noggin knocker to get things started. After a hard right hand by Bradshaw on Batista, Mr. Wrestling tagged himself in and fared no better. Bradshaw caught him with a fallaway slam followed by a diving shoulder tackle before tagging in Tirpak who kept the pressure on with some hard right hands and a vertical suplex. He then hit a torcher rack drop before drilling Batista with a clothesline when he tried to get involved. Tirpak made the tag and off an irish whip, they hit Mr. Wrestling with a double boot to the face. Batista was able to tag himself in and after ducking a clothesline, he caught Bradshaw with one of his own. He then got in Mr. Wrestling's face and a shoving match began. Batista went off and hit him with a right hand and began to walk away but Mr. Wrestling got up and spun him around before delivering a big spinebuster. He then left the ring before Bradshaw
got up and killed Batista with the "Clothesline from Hell" to get the 1......2.....3. Match Time: 6:07 Cole: "And once again, Tirpak and Bradshaw have successfully defended the tag team titles"! Ventura: "They have Cole but I sense something
was up with that Mr. Wrestling". AS TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW LEFT WITH THE TITLES, THEIR MUSIC STOPPED PLAYING AS MR. WRESTLING WENT TO THE TOP ROPE AND HIT A BIG SPLASH, GETTING GREAT ELEVATION ON BATISTA. HE THEN REMOVED HIS MASK.... REVEALING HIMSELF TO BE VAL VENIS! Cole: "What"?! Ventura: "It's Val Venis! What the hell"?! Cole: "Mr. Wrestling III is Val Venis and he has just screwed Batista"! SABLE HAD A DEVILRY LOOK IN HER EYES AS VENIS WALKED AWAY HOLDING UP THE MASK WITH THE QUESTION MARK ON IT AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW HONDA ELEMENT IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT OF HIS DRESSING ROOM AND ROB VAN DAM IS COMING UP. Rob Van Dam: "Hey, what's up there champ"? Wakeman: "Just getting ready to go out there for your match". RVD: "I gotta say bro, you were awesome against Matt Hardy at Payback.
I totally dig what you do in the ring". Wakeman: "Cool man". RVD: "Just watch yourself, because if I win tonight, I might be the first to give you a run for that thing". RVD WALKS AWAY AND WAKEMAN JUST GRINS. BACK IN THE ARENA, THE CAMERA SHOWS A CLOSE UP OF THE HOG PEN WHICH
IS FULL OF MUD AND 3 PIGS. RICK MARTEL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT WITH NIDIA. HE IS SPRAYING HIS BOTTLE OF "ARROGANCE"
AS HE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE. Cole: "Well there's no Fashion Show tonight folks because we are gonna have the first ever hog pen match in TWF history"! Ventura: "This is horrible Cole. It would just be wrong if Martel goes into that hog pen, it's filthy"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND PYRO GOES OFF AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.
Cole: "It's been almost six years since Martel last wrestled and because of the failures of his bodyguards Jamal and Rosey, he is faced with the daunting task of facing one of PrimeTime's best and Jesse,
I have a feeling it's showtime"! Hog Pen Match Jordan Rockwell vs. Rick "The Model" Martel w/ Nidia As the bell sounded,
Rockwell came at Martel but he stuck his head between the ropes, causing a break. Referee Mike Chioda pulled Rockwell back but Martel got in a quick thumb to the eye before leveling him with a some hard right hands.
Rockwell reversed position and battered Martel with several straight rights before whipping him to the corner so hard he fell straight down. Rockwell moved in but Martel caught him with a low blow and Chioda could do nothing since the only way to win is to throw your opponent in the hogpen. Martel then went out and got a steel chair, blasting Rockwell over the back. The lower back of Rockwell became Martel's focus and he worked it like a skilled technician would. Rockwell tried to fight back but each time he began to muster some offense, Martel would resort to dirty tactics. After a backbreaker, Martel went for his vaunted Boston Crab but Rockwell used his leg strength to overturn the move. Rockwell then got up and ducked a clothesline before hitting the Rock Smasher out of nowhere. The fans began to come alive as Rockwell started dragging Martel by the arm towards the hog pen. When he got close, Jamal and Rosey came out and jumped him
but Rhyno was not far behind. The 4 men battled when suddenly, Rhyno left the scrum and took Martel out with the "Gore". Nidia came from behind and jumped on Rockwell's back but he flung her off to the ground. As Rhyno held off Jamal and Rosey, Rockwell
took a running start and clotheslined Martel into the hog pen to win the match. Match Time: 10:34 Cole: "Ahahahaha, this is great"! Ventura: "This is not great Cole! This is one of the worst moments ever on PrimeTime"! SUDDENLY, ROSEY HIT RHYNO WITH A MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM BEFORE HE AND JAMAL CAUGHT ROCKWELL WITH A DOUBLE SUPERKICK. A MUD COVERED MARTEL THEN HOPPED OUT OF THE HOG PEN AS NIDIA PRODUCED A PAIR OF ELECTRIC CLIPPERS! AN ANGRY MARTEL THEN GRABBED THEM AND PROCEEDED TO PARTIALLY SHAVE THE HEAD OF ROCKWELL. FINALLY, RHYNO CAME OVER AND THE QUARTET RETREATED BUT ROCKWELL HAD ONLY ABOUT HALF A HEAD OF HAIR. Ventura: "Now that's great Cole! Rockwell got just what he deserved"! Cole:
"That dispicable excuse for a man Martel has shaved the head of Jordan Rockwell! I can't believe this and you can bet Rockwell will be on the warpath"! Ventura: "It's okay Rockwell, I made bald look great"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS FOLLOW MARTEL, NIDIA, JAMAL AND ROSEY GET INTO A BLACK CADILLAC AND SPEED OFF.
"ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "Martel and his group isn't hanging around and that's probably a good idea Jesse"! Ventura: "Look out behind you RVD"! JUST THEN, RVD IS HIT FROM BEHIND BY MATT HARDY WHO RUNS HIM DOWN TO THE RING AS BROCK LESNAR FOLLOWS BEHIND HIM, LAUGHING. BUT TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES RUNNING OUT AND SEPERATES RVD AND MATT, ALLOWING RVD TO GET A BREATHER. BUT RVD FLEW OVER WAKEMAN AND HIT MATT WITH A SPINWHEEL KICK THAT THE CROWD LOVED. THE BELL FINALLY RANG AS BOTH MEN GOT IN. Rob Van Dam vs. Matt Hardy Special Enforcers: Travis Wakeman and Brock Lesnar This was a terrific match, a match of the month possibility. RVD kept Matt at bay with his quick feet but after a capture suplex, Matt took over. He dropped a nice elbow and hooked the leg but only got a long 1 count. Matt stayed on top of the Whole damn show, hitting him with right hand after right hand before executing a nice gutwrench suplex. He went to the top rope but when he came off, RVD stuck a boot in his face. He popped up and whipped him to the corner, hitting a monkey flip followed by a standing moonsault to get a 2 count. RVD then hit a spinning legdrop for another 2 count but after a scoop slam, he landed the Rolling Thunder but Lesnar was distracting referee Earl Hebner. When Hebner turned around, Matt was able to put his foot on the bottom rope to halt the count. RVD pushed Matt into the corner and drove his shoulders into Matt's abdomen. He then flipped back and faked a diving shoulderblock but Matt didn't buy it. Matt then ducked a spinning heel kick and hit the Richochet. He hooked the leg but RVD kicked out after 2. Matt then set him up for the "Tiwst of Fate" but RVD escaped and bounced off the ropes. But Matt kicked him in the gut and went for the Splash Mountain Bomb but RVD countered it right into a hurricanrana for what looked like a sure 3 count but again, Matt kicked out! RVD then went
up top, looking for his martial arts kick but Matt moved and hit the "Twist of Fate" out of nowhere. He hooked the leg and got 1.......2....., but RVD kicked out! Frustrated, Matt went outside and grabbed the
timekeeper's chair and brought it into the ring. Wakeman came in and took the chair but Lesnar got in and blasted his former tag team partner with a clothesline. Lesnar then looked to do the same to
RVD but inadvertently drilled Matt when he ducked. Lesnar was then taken out by an RVD heel kick and RVD then hopped up on the top rope and hit the "5 Star Frogsplash" to get the 1......2.....3. Match Time: 11:26 Cole: "Only on PrimeTime folks! Only on PrimeTime will you see a matchup that competitive! And Jesse, your boy Lesnar isn't perfect after all, is he"?! "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HIT AS RVD POSED IN THE RING. Ventura: "RVD came out on top this time but I hope you RVD fans have your VCR's set to record, this isn't a sight you'll see very often"! Cole: "It's been a great night as always here on PrimeTime! For The Body, I'm Michael Cole, good night
everybody"! OFF AIR......
