"RAP SUPERSTAR" HITS AS THE BLACK AND WHITE MONTAGE OF PRIMETIME ROLLS. THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AND THE ROWDY FANS ARE SHOWN. AS FIREWORKS AND PYRO GET THINGS STARTED, MICHAEL COLE AND JESSE VENTURA OPEN THINGS UP. Michael Cole: "The Kemper arena is rockin' tonight for PrimeTime Jesse and with good reason, what a show this should be"! A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO AND AN ORANGE BACKGROUND POPS UP SHOWING CHRISTOPHER DANIELS ON ONE SIDE AND ROB VAN DAM ON THE OTHER. Jesse Ventura: "Well take a look at this blockbuster match for instance! The Fallen Angel is gonna go toe to toe with RVD.... tonight"! Cole: "And listen to this one, Mortis says he is going to face Kanyon tonight! What's that about"? Ventura: "It's gonna be interesting for sure"! "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. HE IS WEARING THE PRIMETIME LOGO T-SHIRT WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE TWF MALL. Cole: "Well there's been a buzz around the arena and in the city in general tonight as to what Shane-O-Mac is gonna say tonight and personally, I can't wait"! Ventura: "Whatever it is, I'm sure it's gonna be big"! Shane McMahon: "First off I wanna thank everyone here in Kemper Arena tonight and everybody watching at home on the FOX network for tuning into tonight's broadcast. THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS AND CHANTS "P T". I have a couple big announcements to make tonight and the first one concerns the number one contender's match I set up for last week. Now Batista saw fit to interject himself in that match so that there would be no winner. Well I got to thinking, Lesnar and Batista wanted to have all the belts so now.... they're gonna get to defend them all. So Batista, just because you have a tag team title match at Eruption does not mean your Intercontinental title will not be put on the line". THE CROWD POPS AGAIN. Cole: "Oh yeah, I like this decision". Shane: "Because at Eruption, just like Brock, you are going to defend your other title. So in a triple threat match, it will be Batista versus Dylan Jansens versus Chris Tirpak"! Ventura: "Oh come on"! Cole: "That's huge"! Shane: "Now I know everyone here came to hear a big announcement and the one I just made was not the bombshell. Ya see, I know that PrimeTime needs an enforcer to counter this two man power trip I have to deal with. So without further adieu, let me just bring him out". THE CROWD ABOUT BLOWS THE ROOF OFF AT THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS AS "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE MARCHES DOWN THE RAMP. HE GETS IN THE RING AND HITS ALL 4 TURNBUCKLES AS THE ROWDY CROWD CAN HARDLY CONTROL THEMSELVES. Cole: "Oh my God! It's the Texas Rattlesnake"! Ventura: "You gotta know that Lesnar and Batista have destroyed their dressing room already Cole. They've gotta be hating this"! Stone Cold: "I gotta be honest with you people here tonight. I was convinced that I had had enough of this business and that I was ready to go back to Victoria, Texas and start a new hobby. But after talking with Jordan Rockwell at MeltDown and having one meeting with Shane McMahon here, it became obvious to me that PrimeTime is missing something. PrimeTime is missing a hell raisin', beer drinkin' son of a bitch with the power to do whatever the hell he feels like doin'! THE CROWD IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF AUSTIN's SPEECH. So I said okay, I'll do it and all I asked Shane for in return was a lifetime supply of beer! THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF SHANE SMILING. Now Shane had another announcement to make but he and I pretty much came to this decision together so I'm gonna go ahead and do it, is that okay Shane"? Shane: "Yeah it's.... Stone Cold: "You're damn right it's okay. Now we know that Brock Lesnar is gonna defend the Universal title at Eruption, it just hasn't been revealed as to who will be facing him. So let Stone Cold be the one to tell you that Brock is gonna face none other than..... the manbeast, Rhyno"! Cole: "Oh my! Lesnar could be in line for a Gore"! Ventura: "I can't believe what these two are doing"! JUST THEN, RANDY ORTON's THEME SONG BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND HE COMES OUT ON THE STAGE WITH RIC FLAIR TO A LOT OF BOOS. Cole: "What the hell is this about"? Ric Flair: "Now I know you two aren't the smartest couple of guys around, but we all can correct mistakes. Obviously, there's been some sort of oversight because clearly the blue chipper here, Mr. Randy Orton is your man". Shane: "No, there's been no oversight Flair, this is our decision". Randy Orton: "You think this is some sort of joke Shane? Are you just trying to keep me down because of my age or because you don't think I deserve to be here? Last week, you have me wrestle a damn clown and I destroyed him! If you aren't gonna give me competition, I'll go find competition myself! I came to PrimeTime..... Stone Cold: "Hey, hey, hey, hey. There's no reason to get upset Randy. Now go ahead and pull your panties out and listen to old Stone Cold! You're tellin' us that you don't like our decision to make Rhyno the number one contender"? FLAIR AND ORTON NOD THEIR HEADS. Ventura: "I think that's what they're sayin'". Stone Cold: "Okay, there here's what we'll do. You can come down with that beedy eyed bastard Ric Flair and you can climb through these here ropes tonight and take on Rhyno yourself! And that is not only my first decision as enforcer of PrimeTime but that's the bottom line.... cause Stone Cold said so"! Cole: "Orton asked and Stone Cold delivered"! Ventura: "Orton's gotta face Rhyno tonight? How fair is that, he's wearing a five hundred dollar shirt"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR NEXTEL IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... PARKING LOT.... THE HURRICANE AND CYCLONE ARE SHOWN IN THE PARKING LOT AS PRIMETIME RETURNS. Cyclone: "Are ya ready to get to the bottom of this"? Hurricane: "There is no doubt that there was some wrong doing last week with Conway, Dinsmore and Haas and through some investigative work, I have found out where they are at this moment. Quick, to the Hurri-Car"! THE HURRICANE RUNS OVER TO A GREEN AND ORANGE CAR WITH THE DYNAMIC DUO LOGO ON IT AND CYCLONE JUMPS INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE BEFORE THEY SPEED OFF. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET IS PLAYING AND MATT HARDY AND JAMIE NOBLE ARE IN THE RING. Cole: "Where are those two going"? Ventura: "Well they should remember what happened to them last week". "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS LOUDLY OVER THE PA AND CARNEY COMES OUT WITH REY MYSTERIO. Cole: "Carney has been having his share of problems with Jamie Noble and Mattitude in general lately and it was actually him who asked for this match". Ventura: "Well if he's so brave, why is it a non-title match? Put the title on the line"! Cole: "It is non-title but Carney still wants to defeat Noble tonight to get him off his back"! Non-Title: Jamie Noble w/ Matt Hardy vs. Lightheavyweight champ Carney w/ Rey Mysterio The bell rang and the two men circled each other. Noble charged with a right hand but Carney avoided it and hip tossed him to the mat. He then delivered a dropkick that knocked Noble into the corner. Carney then connected with a monkey flip and Noble rolled out of the ring to recover. He and Matt were trying to work out a strategy when Carney interrupted it with a flying plancha. He then rolled Noble into the ring and tried to come back in with helo but Noble got his needs up and one of them struck the back of Carney's head, changing the complexion of the match. Noble then whipped him to the ropes and drilled him with a hard forearm shiver before directing his attack on Carney's right knee. After a shin breaker, Noble put Carney threw some excruciating pain with a knee to kneedrop. He then slapped on a figure four leglock and had Carney ready to submit but the drive inside the champion allowed him to turn the move over, countering the pressure. Noble released his lock and got out of the hold. Both men came up a little gimpy but Carney blocked a right hand and came back with one of his own before bouncing off the ropes and hitting a wheel kick. After a swinging neckbreaker, Carney went to the middle rope but became distracted when Matt Hardy ran around the side and pushed Mysterio. Matt entered the ring and Mysterio tried to follow but was cut off by referee Jack Doan. Matt then backtracked and lowblowed Carney in mid air as he jumped off the rope. Noble got up and capitalized with the Tiger Bomb and hooked the leg for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:03 Cole: "I'm beggin' the ref to turn around"! Ventura: "How clever is Matt Hardy? Now that's Mattitude at it's best"! Cole: "Jamie Noble has stolen one here and you can bet that's not the end of this"! MYSTERIO CHECKED ON CARNEY IN THE RING AS "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" PLAYED AND HARDY AND NOBLE WALKED UP THE RAMP. NOBLE MADE A GESTURE AROUND HIS WAIST AS IF TO SAY HE SHOULD HAVE THE BELT. BACKSTAGE.... CHRIS TIRPAK IS STANDING BACKSTAGE WITH BRADSHAW WHEN DYLAN JANSENS COMES UP. Dylan Jansens: "Hey guys. Chris, I just wanted to say good luck at Eruption". Chris Tirpak: "As long as one of us walks out with the title and Batista doesn't, the better for PrimeTime". Jansens: "Well I was thinkin', I think we can pull one over on him tonight". JANSENS, TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW GO INTO A ROOM AND CLOSE THE DOOR. Cole: "We've been talking about Eruption tonight and now is our chance to announce the Eruption match this year and Jesse, this is worth the price of the event alone". A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE ERUPTION LOGO POPS UP AND THE EVENTS THEME MUSIC PLAYS. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS IS ON ONE SIDE AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN THE OTHER. Ventura: "Travis Wakeman won the first Eruption match back in May of 2000 but to defeat Christopher Daniels this time, he's gonna have to take two out of three falls"! Cole: "And to add more to it, each of those three falls will have stipulations added to them soon"! A MAN IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH RED TIGHTS ON THAT SAY "KANYON". Ventura: "There's Kanyon, who betta Cole"?! Cole: "That is not Kanyon. Who is this goof"? JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A GREEN HAZE FALLS OVER THE ARENA AS SOME EERIE MUSIC IS HEARD. MORTIS STEPS OUT IN HIS SKELETAL ATTIRE CARRYING A SMALL SKULL WITH HIM. Ventura: "Well this guy is anything but a goof. It's Mortis Cole". Cole: "Well personally I think it looks like Halloween here on PrimeTime but we know this man is loaded with talent, I just don't get what this is about". Ventura: "It's gonna become obvious here Cole". Mortis vs. "Kanyon" The man who was supposed to be Kanyon was almost defenseless as Mortis brutally took it to him, showing off an arsenal of moves that have yet to be matched. After a crazy looking swinging neckbreaker, Mortis put the man onto his shoulders and climbed to the middle turnbuckle, falling off with a samoan drop. After a russian leg sweep, Mortis delivered a nice spinning torcher rack into a pancake. Mortis then pulled the man to the corner and climbed to the top rope before putting his knee in the back of his head and riding him face first to the mat. Mortis then signaled for the finish and when "Kanyon" made it to his feet, he delivered the "Flatliner" and covered him for the 3 count. Match Time: 3:44 Cole: "Mercifully this nonsense is over". Ventura: "Nonsense? This was the burial of Kanyon Cole. PrimeTime needs to brace itself for this man". THE CAMERA GETS A CLOSE UP OF THE MASK OF MORTIS. OUTSIDE A HOTEL..... THE CAMERA SHOWS A NICE LOOKING HOTEL FROM THE OUTSIDE AND PANS DOWN TO THE STREET WHERE THE HURRI-CAR PULLS UP. Hurricane: "Holy hotel sightings Cyclone, look"! THE HURRICANE POINTS TOWARDS THE HOTEL ENTRANCE AND ROB CONWAY, NICK DINSMORE AND CHARLIE HAAS ARE ALL SEEN ENTERING. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR MADDEN 2004 FOR PS2 IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK....TWF RE-WIND SHOWS FRANKIE KAZARIAN COSTING JORDAN ROCKWELL HIS MATCH LAST WEEK AGAINST SHANE THOMPSON WITH A CROWBAR SHOT TO THE KNEE AND A CHAIR TO THE HEAD. THE SET OF THE FASHION IS SHOWN AND THE MUSIC OF RICK MARTEL IS PLAYING AS HE AND NIDIA COME OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. Ventura: "Cole you oughta think about going on the Fashion Show! Martel could do something with that backstreet boy look"! Cole: (laughs) "You're making fun at my look". Rick Martel: "My guest tonight is a man who has shown class and style that goes far beyond what anyone else has done around here in some time. That is why I have selected him to be the recipient of my first ever award of style..... Frankie Kazarian"! THE FBI THEME HITS AND FRANKIE KAZARIAN CAME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Ventura: "Stand up and clap Cole, that's a huge honor"! Cole: "The award of style"? Martel: "Welcome to the Fashion Show Frankie. Now until last week, I wondered why they called you the future. But after what i saw you do to Rockwell, I knew that it'll only be a matter of time before you supplant him as PrimeTime's top young star. THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS. So it is my pleasure to give you this plaque recognizing your style and recognizing you truly as the future". MARTEL HANDS KAZARIAN THE PLAQUE AND HE HOLDS IT UP, DRAWING A LOT OF BOOS FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "The crowd doesn't agree with that choice"! Ventura: "Look at some of these people Cole"! THE FANS BEGIN CHEERING AT THE SIGHT OF ROCKWELL ON THE PRIMETRON. Cole: "Look at this"!
Jordan Rockwell: "Hey Kazarian!
KAZARIAN, MARTEL AND NIDIA FRANTICALLY LOOK AROUND.
Up here on the stupid!
THEY ALL LOOK UP TO THE SCREEN.
There you go! I bet you thought you wouldn't see me tonight after you blasted me with that crowbar, well news flash, much like Martel thinks people believe he's straight, you were wrong!
MARTEL GETS UPSET AS THE CROWD GETS A LAUGH.
Because obviously you don't know who you're messin' with. So if you shut your mouth and open your ears, the people well let you know.
WITHIN SECONDS, CHANTS OF ROCKWELL START.
Ya see Frankie, a while back, Brock Lesnar and Batista paid you and your boys to attack me and my partner Rhyno and I was willing to chalk that up to them not having any balls. But you chose to make things personal and you decided to put your hands on my wife and on my unborn child! What did you think? Did you think you'd get away with that? huh?! Did you think for one second you would just walk into my real world and walk away?
ROCKWELL STANDS UP AND THROWS THE CHAIR ACROSS THE ROOM HE'S IN.
(yelling) Well you were wrong! At Eruption, you're gonna curse your mother for ever giving birth to you, cause I swear to god, I'm gonna give you the worst beating of your god damn life"! Ventura: "What does he mean at Eruption"? Cole: "He may know something we don't, but Kazarian looks like he's seen a ghost"! Ventura: "In any event, Eruption is shaping up to be a huge event and if you haven't contacted you cable company and ordered yet, I don't know what you're waiting for"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC HITS, LEADING HIM OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "We're about to have a no holds barred tag team match but speaking of Eruption, look at this one Jesse". A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE ERUPTION LOGO POPS UP WITH SHANE THOMPSON ON ONE SIDE AND SEAN O'HAIRE ON THE OTHER. Ventura: "O'haire and Thompson have been fighting all over PrimeTime the last few weeks and at Eruption, it's gonna come to a head"! "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMAUT COMES OUT. Cole: "Bahamut has a match signed for the pay-per-view as well and we'll get to that in a moment but the situation between Thompson and O'haire all started when O'haire challenged his claim of being crazy". "HAUNTED" BY EVANESCENCE HITS AND SHANE THOMPSON COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP, WAY UP FROM THE USUAL. Ventura: "And that's why their match has been made a psych ward match and the man who loses that match is actually gonna have to spend the night in a psych ward Cole"! Cole: "And you talk about putting your name on the map, that's exactly what Thompson did last week when he defeated Jordan Rockwell, albeit with the outside interference of Frankie Kazarian"! "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND A LOUD GROWL OVERCOMES THE ARENA AS THE BEAST COMES OUT WITH THE 13th APOSTLE. Ventura: "That's true but if he loses at Eruption, we'll see how he likes it in the psych ward"! Cole: "Well we told you Bahamut had a match at Eruption as well and this one was actually set up on the Fashion Show and it'll be against this man... inside a fifteen foot high steel cage"! Ventura: "And I know what you're thinkin', that's The Beast's element but not so fast, Bahamut has had success inside the cage"! Cole: "Well all four men have to make it out of this match in one piece and I don't know if that's gonna happen"! No Holds Barred "Awesome" Shane Thompson and The Beast w/ The 13th Apostle vs. Bahamut and Sean O'haire The match started with tornado rules so their was no tagging in and out. All 4 men came out looking to deliver the quick home run shot but Thompson missed with a superkick and was hit with a flying hook kick by O'haire that put his team at a real disadvantage. Bahamut and O'haire then double teamed The Beast who fought like mad to take at least one of them out. But after a running knee lift, Bahamut delivered a hard powerbomb and O'haire went outside and reached under the apron, pulling out a kendo stick. O'haire then showed off one of his true talents, weaponry, as he twirled the stick around, striking The Beast with pinpoint accuracy. Thompson recovered and stopped the attack by dropkicking the back of O'haire's leg. He ducked a clothesline by Bahamut before helping The Beast up and he amazed everyone by driving Bahamut to the corner like a mack truck. He then launched Bahamut out of the ring to the floor as Thompson picked up the kendo stick and gave O'haire some of his own medicine. Bahamut and The Beast traded shots all the way up the ramp but once at the top, Bahamut gouged his eyes and then rammed him face first into the set. That led to a boot to the face that knocked The Beast off the stage and down onto the sound system, sending sparks into the air. In the ring, O'haire was still taking a beating from the kendo stick wielding Thompson. But Bahamut came back in with a chair shot across the back. He then lifted him up for a gorilla press slam as O'haire curiously climbed to the top rope. Bahamut then aided O'haire in putting Thompson onto his shoulders and he brought him off with his reverse death valley driver for a wicked effect. O'haire covered him and got the 3 count. Match Time: 7:33 Cole: "Bahamut and The Beast have absolutely laid waste to The Beast and Thompson"! Ventura: "And if that happens to Thompson at Eruption, he'll be filling a bed at the local nutjob house"! BACKSTAGE...... WITH "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, CAMERAS SHOW RAVEN AND ARIES WALKING DOWN THE HALL TOWARDS THE RING. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR BRIDGESTONE TIRES IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, RAVEN AND ARIES ARE BOTH IN THE RING, WEARING ARMY FATIGUES. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime and Raven and Aries have taken over the ring". Raven: "Before we have any more brutality here tonight, Aries and I would like to come out here and make a little statement. Ya see, we feel that the state of PrimeTime has worsened to a point of no return. It has ventured into a black hole. Well rather than go down with it, Aries and I are demanding change. No longer should this industry be ran by the name McMahon and no longer should someone be able to call the shots aboard his ten million dollar jet sitting in between two women half his age and drinking a glass of expensive wine. It's just like Aries says, this is what is wrong with this country. But for you people to cheer, makes it that much more dispicable. The time has come and gone and now come again. It is time for PrimeTime to enter Raven's Clockwork Orange House of Fun and you can all truly realize the power of the Raven Effect. Quote the Raven, never...... JUST THEN, GLASS BREAKS AND "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES OUT TO ANOTHER WILD CHEER. Cole: "I have a pretty good feeling that our new enforcer is gonna have something to say about this"! Raven: "Austin, this doesn't concern you"! Stone Cold: "Well hell yeah it does. Because I've got a problem with your analogy of the shot caller around here! Last time I checked, I was one of the guys who did that and I got news for ya. I sure as hell don't fly in jets and drink wine, now the women, you might be right on that part but who the hell cares? Point is Shane O and I have decided that anyone trying anymore of these takeovers is subject to one thing". Raven: "Oh Stone Cold, be so informative as to tell us". Austin: "Okay, a Stone Cold Stunner"! HE KICKS RAVEN IN THE GUT AND HITS THE STUNNER, BRINGING THE CROWD TO THEIR FEET. ARIES HITS HIM FROM BEHIND AND GETS IN A FEW MORE SHOTS BUT AFTER REVERSING AN IRISH WHIP, AUSTIN KICKS HIM IN THE STOMACH AND HITS THE STUNNER ON HOM AS WELL AS HIS MUSIC HITS. Cole: "Well so much for the Raven Effect"! Ventura: "That's ridiculous Cole! That would've been like me beating the hell out of someone in office! He's already taking his authority too far"! BACK AT THE HOTEL THE HURRICANE AND CYCLONE HAVE ENTERED THE MAGNIFICENT HOTEL AND ARE AT THE FRONT DESK SPEAKING WITH A FEMALE EMPLYEE. Employee: "I'm sorry, but like I told you guys, unless you have reservations, we're booked. Besides, what's up with the costumes"? Hurricane: "Excuse me miss, don't you recognize crime fighters when you see them? What's up with that"? Cyclone: "Ya know, it's guys like us who go after the Kobe Bryant's of the world". Employee: "Yeah whatever, I am gonna have to ask you guys to leave and next time, call and make reservations. This is a very prestiguos hotel". THE DYNAMIC DUO WALKS OUT OF THE HOTEL, WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER. BACK AT RINGSIDE, RANDY ORTON's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE AND RIC FLAIR ARE IN THE RING, TAUNTING THE HECKLING CROWD. Ventura: "What are those two thinking making that Kobe Bryant joke? That's ridiculous"! Cole: "It looks like the Dynamic Duo has been denied enrty into that hotel where Rob Conway, Nick Dinsmore and Charlie Haas entered but right now, it's time for the match Stone Cold made for tonight"! RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Ventura: "Well I don't see this as being fair Cole. Orton has nothing to gain because Rhyno is the number one contender even if he wins". Cole: "Well you can bet the manbeast is gonna give his all here to show Brock Lesnar what he's up against at Eruption but if Orton can pull it off, he'll be right in the thick of that title hunt"! Randy Orton w/ Ric Flair vs. Rhyno Orton started the match by attacking Rhyno from behind and he stayed on him with some staggering right hands before catching him with his dropkick off an irish whip. Orton then got up and did some show boating to the crowd which allowed Rhyno to get up and headbutt him. Rhyno whipped him to the ropes and lifted him into the air with a backbody drop. But when he came in to grab him, Orton got in a thumb to the eye followed by a hard ddt. After an impressive vertical suplex, Orton went to the top rope and came off with a missile dropkick that hit Rhyno hard. He went for the cover but could only get a 2 count. Rhyno continued to take everything Orton could dish out before going for the "RKO" but Rhyno pushed him into the ropes and caught him with a bone rattling spinebuster. Rhyno then batted his chest and set up in the corner for the "Gore" when Ric Flair came into the ring and drilled Rhyno from behind with a steel chair, causing a DQ. Flair and Orton then double teamed the manbeast as the bell continued to sound. They whipped him to the ropes but Rhyno came off with a double clothesline and Orton rolled out of the ring. But Flair wasn't so lucky, getting "Gored" into the corner. Orton pulled Flair out and the crowd loudly cheered as Rhyno's music hit. Match Time: 6:22 Cole: "Orton escaped the Gore but Flair wasn't so lucky! That could be Brock Lesnar Jesse"! Ventura: "Not likely Cole! With all due respect to the Nature Boy, he's no Brock Lesnar"! BACKSTAGE..... DRESSING ROOM.... CAMERAS SHOW ROB VAN DAM IN HIS PRE-MATCH STRETCH ROUTINE. Cole: "There you see Rob Van Dam who is just moments away from a match with the Fallen Angel and you don't wanna miss that"! Ventura: "What are these two doing out here? They don't have a match"! CHRIS TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW ARE IN THE RING. Chris Tirpak: "Jansens, Benoit, Shane chose you two as the team to face Lesnar and Batista at Eruption. But the big Texan and I say that you haven't proven that your worthy to us. So what do you say we have a little tag team match, right here tonight"? Cole: "What"? AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, JANSENS COMES OUT ON THE STAGE. Ventura: "There's Jansens"! Dylan Jansens: "Tirpak, that's a great idea. And even though Chris is backstage handling some business, I wanna get my hands on you before Eruption"! JANSENS DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND STARTS WALKING DOWN THE AISLE. Cole: "What is he thinking"?! SUDDENLY, BATISTA COMES OUT AND ATTACKS JANSENS FROM BEHIND. HE HOLDS HIM UP FOR TIRPAK WHO TELLS BATISTA TO HOLD ON. HE TURNS AROUND, ACTING AS IF TO GRAB SOMETHING AND HITS BATISTA WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND! BRADSHAW THEN COMES OVER AND JANSENS JOINS IN AS THEY HAMMER THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION. Ventura: "They had this planned"! Cole: "They sure did Jesse! It was a great set up and Batista has felt the rage of Tirpak, Jansens and Bradshaw"! BATISTA WAS LEFT TRYING TO SHAKE IT OFF ON THE RAMP AS THE OTHER 3 LEFT TO A HUGE CHEER. THE SHOT THEN FADED OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR BUD LIGHT IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... BACK AT THE HOTEL.... CAMERAS SHOW HAAS, CONWAY AND DINSMORE COMING OUT OF THE HOTEL. HAAS HAS A LARGE BAG IN HIS HAND. AS THEY NEAR A LIMOSINE PULLS UP BUT BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO IT, THE HURRICANE AND CYCLONE COME OUT FROM BEHIND A BUSH. Hurricane: "Unhand that bag"! Rob Conway: "What the hell are you two chumps doing here"? Cyclone: "We want to turn you two in for a robbery. We saw all that money you have in that bag through the window over there". Nick Dinsmore: "What are you climbing trees? We were on the third floor". Charlie Haas: "Hey, don't worry about it guys, we don't owe them anything". THEY WALK BY THE DYNAMIC DUO BUT HURRICANE GRABS DINSMORE BY THE ARM. Hurricane: "I suggest you guys do this the easy way. Don't make me use the Hurri-cuffs". JUST THEN, CONWAY TAKES OUT HURRICANE WITH A RIGHT HAND. CYCLONE TRIES TO DEFEND HIS PARTNER BUT IS OVERCOME BY THE ODDS. CHARLIE HAAS PICKS THE HURRICANE UP AND LIFTS HIM TOWARDS THE BACK WINDOW OF THE LIMO WHICH ROLLS DOWN AND INSIDE IS..... THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN TED DIBIASE! HE LETS OUT HIS ECHOING LAUGH AND THE THREE MEN GET INSIDE WITH THE BAG AND THE LIMO SPEEDS OFF. BACK AT THE ARENA: BACKSTAGE.... BATISTA COMES HOBBLING BACK TO HIS DRESSING ROOM AND HIS EYES WIDEN WHEN HE SEES CHRIS BENOIT SITTING ON A FORKLIFT WHICH IS PARKED BLOCKING THE DOOR. Batista: "Ahhhhh"! BATISTA CHARGES BUT IS CUT OFF BY A "GORE" FROM RHYNO. BENOIT STEPS OFF THE FORKLIFT AND GOES OVER TO BATISTA. Chris Benoit: "Ouch". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS' MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE AND MORTIS ARE IN THE RING. Cole: "I can't believe what we just saw! Ted Dibiase was in that limo Jesse"! Ventura: "It was a shocker for me too but let's hear what The Fallen Angel's sirmon is about tonight". Christopher Daniels: "As you all get ready for tonight's main event, be greatful for a couple things. Be greatful for the fact that Mortis and myself, known collectively as the Chosen, have preserved the competitiveness of PrimeTime. Be greatful that we have opened the eyes of upper management who think it's a good idea to put a fifty year old bleach blonde man on roids on the tv who tells kids to say their prayers. You see, we will do the praying for you, we only ask that you repeat them. And that is the gospel, according to the Fallen Angel". Cole: "The Chosen? That's crap according to me"! "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP, PROBABLY THE LOUDEST OF THE NIGHT. Ventura: "Rob Van Dam has had his problems with Christopher Daniels who describes RVD only as overrated"! Cole: "Daniels has a huge match at Eruption against Travis Wakeman but he better not treat RVD as overrated tonight or he'll be on the wrong end of a loss tonight"! "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels w/ Mortis vs. Rob Van Dam This was as fun a match to watch on PrimeTime all year as these two great athletes put on a terrific show. After an initial tie-up, Daniels got in a knee lift before firing two punches at RVD's temple. But off an irish whip, RVD ducked a backhand and hit a spinning heel kick before delivering a spinning legdrop. He then whipped Daniels to the corner and followed in with a shoulder to the gut before backflipping and hitting another big shoulder. RVD then went to the top rope and went for a reverse cross body block but Daniels rolled through it and nearly stole the match. Daniels stayed on top of RVD with a dropkick to the face as he tried to get up followed by a big elbow drop. Daniels then puut on the painful Indian deathlock and RVD was in a lot of trouble. However, he was able to use his feet to escape the hold but Daniels stayed on him, kicking his legs out from under him and then locking in a half crab. RVD crawled to the ropes to break the hold but Daniels targeted his lower back, seeing the pain he was in. After an elbow to the lumbaric region, Daniels whipped him to the corner and followed in but RVD moved and then came in with a monkey flip. After a cartwheel moonsault, he went to the top rope and hit a flying martial arts kick to the chest. Instead of going for the cover, he went for the Rolling Thunder and hit it with a lot of impact. RVD rolled over into a pin and hooked the far leg to get 1......2....., but Daniels kicked out. RVD then bounced off the ropes and went for a spinwheel kick but clipped referee Earl Hebner, stunning him for a minute. Mortis then got on the apron and dropped RVD over the top rope with a hangman and Daniels then took him down with a vicious reverse DDT which he spiked him with. He then hooked the leg and got a 3 count. Match Time: 9:49 Cole: "Didn't the ref see that? Mortis blatantly interfered"! Ventura: "I don't know Cole, maybe he's accurate with the overrated assessment"! DANIELS' MUSIC PLAYED AND RVD LOOKED ON IN ANGER AS HE AND MORTIS WALKED UP THE RAMP. Cole: "Those two are the saviors of PrimeTime? They are the Devil's advocates Jesse and nothing more! I hope Daniels is ready for Eruption"! THE SHOW ENDS WITH A DISTURBING CLOSE UP OF THE EVIL SMILE OF DANIELS AND THE GRUESOME MASK OF MORTIS.
