Portland, Oregon
Attendance: 17,494
UPRISING RESULTS Portland, Oregon was ready for the TWF, lining up in droves and producing one of the largest television crowds ever for the company. 90% of them were in their seats for the start of Uprising and the other 10% was out at the merchandise booths, loading up with stuff to support their favorite PrimeTime superstars! On a side note, Jordan Rockwell is the highest selling superstar on PrimeTime for merchandise but the 4 Elements are a close second. SMW Match: Johnny Jeter vs. Jake Diamond Scouts in attendance said that with a top notch performance, Jeter may land on the main roster but he underestimated one half of the brand new tag team champions and off an irish whip, Diamond made him pay for putting his head down too early with his impaler DDT for the upset win. SMW Match: Steve Bradley vs. Race Steele Steele gave the former SMW champion all he could handle but Bradley caught him with the Death Valley Driver to put him away in about 7 minutes. Matt Hardy vs. Bradshaw Uprising ended with a bang as these two went toe to toe and for about the first 3 minutes, Matt was no match for the big Texan. But after an irish whip to the corner, Bradshaw missed with a follow up clothesline and Matt grabbed a handful of tights after rolling him up to get the quick 3 count. Bradshaw argued with the referee, who was a local right out of referee school, but to no avail. However, Bradshaw did get a big pop when he gave the ref the "Clothesline from Hell". THE SHOT FADED OUT AS BRADSHAW's MUSIC PLAYED.
THE FANS IN THE ROSE GARDEN COME TO THEIR FEET AND BEGIN TO SCREAM AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS INTO THE OPENING VIDEO WHICH HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH THE FACES OF PRIMETIME ALONG WITH SOME NEW CLIPS. FIREWORKS AND PYRO SHOOT INTO THE AIR FROM AROUND THE SET AS THE ARENA IS SHOWN FROM AN AERIAL VIEW. Michael Cole: "We are absolutely surrounded by PrimeTime fans tonight Jesse and they are here to see one hell of a show, the way PrimeTime knows how to do it"! A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN WITH RAVEN ON ONE SIDE AND THE BEAST ON THE OTHER. BEHIND THEM IS A GARBAGE CAN FULL OF WEAPONS. Jesse Ventura: "Deadly Games is upon us Michael Cole but tonight, there is a deadly match on the card"! THE FBI's MUSIC HITS AND THEY ALL COME OUT TO PLENTY OF HEAT. Cole: "Raven will face The Beast is his match, Raven's Rules but folks, last week on PrimeTime, we saw Rey Mysterio dragged behind a moving vehicle in one of the most violent scenes in TWF history and we can tell you that Rey suffered a sprained knee and several scrapes and cuts and his status for Deadly Games is questionable". Ventura: "The combination of the FBI and the Million Dollar Corporation is proving too much for the Elements Cole and now that match could be three on four"! ON THE PRIMETRON, A SYMBOL FOR EARTH AND FIRE APPEARS AND THEY MERGE AS "WHATEVER" BY OUR LOADY PEACE HITS. DYLAN JANSENS AND CHRIS BENOIT STEP OUT TO A HUGE OVATION. Cole: "The notion has been that when not together, they can't win as a group so it is obvious what the plan was from the start but tonight, Benoit and Jansens look to right that wrong at the expense of the FBI and gain a little momentum heading into that huge elimination match at Deadly Games"! Ventura: "Well the Future and the Bull are no slouches Cole"! Cole: "I'm completely aware of that but don't forget about Maritato at ringside"! Johnny Stamboli and Frankie "The Future" Kazarian w/ Guido Maritato vs. Chris Benoit and Dylan Jansens This was a very competitive seesaw tag team match in which the FBI got the advantage after Guido got in a cheap shot on Jansens. Stamboli then got aggressive with Jansens, putting the boots to him and then dropping him with a running powerslam. An exchange was made and Kazarian came in, catching Jansens with a wonderful wheel kick followed by back to back leg drops. After a snap suplex, Kazarian tagged in Stamboli but Jansens met him with a kick to the gut. Stamboli fired back with a right hand but Jansens blocked it and kicked him in the back of the legs before catching him with a shuffle kick that knocked him to the mat. Benoit was tagged in and like a pitbull, he got on Stamboli and relentlessly took it to him, hitting a dragon arm whip and then locking in a fujiwara armbar. Kazarian came in and broke the hold up by kicking Benoit in the face. Stamboli was then able to tag out and Kazarian came in but when he ran at Benoit, the Crippler locked in his Crossface. Stamboli came in to break it up but Jansens met him with a right hand. However, Kazarian fought through the hold and reached the bottom rope. Benoit broke it only to have Stamboli club him over the back as referee Mike Chioda took Jansens to his corner. Kazarian then went to the top rope and hit a missile dropkick and went for a cover but Benoit kicked out at 2. Guido got up on the apron looking to interfere again but Carney came running out to a huge ovation and pulled him to the floor. Guido took a swing but Carney ducked and then hit a sit out jawbreaker. In the ring, Jansens caught Stamboli with the Fire Breather and Benoit again got the Crossface on Kazarian, but this time in the middle of the ring. Before too long, Kazarian tapped out and the bell sounded as "Whatever" blared over the loud speakers. Match Time: 8:58 Cole: "Who says they can't succeed without all four? The Elements just proved they can hang with anyone when the odds are even"! Ventura: "Carney came up from behind! It was a cheap shot Cole"! Cole: "Yeah, to prevent another cheap shot! I'm sorry, but the Elements have fought through enough cheap shots and they have come together as a powerful group"! Ventura: "Well you know what they say, two is always better than one and at Deadly Games, they've gotta overcome two powerful groups"! Cole: "And perhaps without their sparkplug... Rey Mysterio"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... SHANE's OFFICE.... THERE IS A LOT OF COMMOTION COMING FROM DOWN THE HALL AS SHANE SITS AT HIS DESK. HE STOPS WHAT HE's DOING AND LOOKS UP TO SEE JAMIE NOBLE IN HIS OFFICE. Jamie Noble: "McMahon, this better be good! Last week, I lost what I love more than anything in this world and tonight, I don't have a rematch? I'm a damn champion and I want some gold, I'm Jamie Noble son"! SHANE STANDS UP. Shane McMahon: "First off, you need to lower your tone. Second, if you want to see some gold, I can do that. I'll put you in a match tonight with Chris Tirpak, the Intercontinental champion.... non-title of course". Noble: "That's fine, I'll whip that overgrown punks ass and you'll see.... you'll see what Jamie Noble is all about". NOBLE STARTS TO WALK OUT. Shane: "Oh Jamie wait. NOBLE TURNS Next time, assuming you're a champion again sometime in your career, make sure a rematch clause is in the contract before you sign it". NOBLE STORMS OUT OF THE OFFICE AND SHANE SITS BACK DOWN AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR ENERGIZER BATTERIES IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE PLAYS AND RHYNO AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COME DOWN THE RAMP TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "We assume these two men are the number one contenders for the tag team titles but after what happened last week, you know they've got something to say"! Ventura: "They better watch their words here Cole, Brock and Batista aren't all that far away". ROCKWELL GRABS THE HOUSE MIKE. Jordan Rockwell: "Orton! You wanna mess with me and the big man here? You wanna try and use us to get through puberty?! Well I know you're back there boy so come on out so old Jordan can show all these people just how much of a bitch you really are"! ROCKWELL THROWS THE MIKE DOWN. Cole: "Oh boy"! RANDY ORTON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH RIC FLAIR. Ventura: "Ask and you shall receive"! BUT RIGHT BEHIND ORTON COMES THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS LESNAR AND BATISTA ALONG WITH THE LOVELY SABLE. Cole: "And he's not alone"! Randy Ortn: "Rockwell, Rockwell, Rockwell, as much as I'd love to embarass you here tonight, I gotta stand in line. Because I got a couple friends here who wanna do it first". Brock Lesnar: "Rockwell..... I got my team! Deadly Games is right around the corner. So why don't you and the womanbeast there round up a couple guys and meet us there for a match... elimination style"?! Cole: "Sounds like a challenge"! Ventura: "Did he just say womanbeast"? Rockwell: "Is that what.... Rhyno: "You got it Lesnar! We're tired of this crap! We can find two guys"! LESNAR STARTS LAUGHING Cole: "They've accepted"! Ric Flair: "Oh is that right? Well ya know what I'm tired of? I'm tired of two guys like you runnin' around here without any respect in ya! I'm tired of coming to these arenas week in and week out and seeing all these stupid kids with Mr. Showtime shirts instead of Here Comes the Pain shirts! FLAIR IS GETTING WORKED UP Rockwell, I've been in there with the best and I've beaten the best! I sure as hell don't consider you the best but I'd love to beat ya.... tonight"! Cole: "Oh boy"! Ventura: "That's the Nature Boy I remember"! ROCKWELL STARTS TO NOD HIS HEAD WITH A GRIN ON HIS FACE. Cole: "Rockwell is accepting! That match is tonight Jesse"! "ROCK HARD" HITS AS ORTON ACTS LIKE HE's HOLDING FLAIR BACK. THE FOUR MEN THEN GO BACKSTAGE. Ventura: "I don't think Rockwell has any idea what he's getting into but if he doesn't have any respect for Ric Flair, he's gonna get it beat into him". TWF RE-WIND SHOWS THE BRAWL THAT TOOK PLACE ON LAST WEEK's FASHION SHOW BETWEEN KID GUNDAM AND HIS BOYS AGAINST PAUL LONDON AND THE ULTIMO DRAGON. A JAPANESE TUNE HITS AND THE NEWCOMERS, AKIO AND SAKODA COME OUT. Ventura: "I can't believe those two embarassed Rick Martel that way Cole". Cole: "What about these two? You talk about embarrassment? I talked to Paul London today and he told me that the Ultimo Dragon was sick about what these guys had to say about his native Japan, that's why he interjected himself in this situation"! THE ULTIMO DRAGON's MUSIC HITS AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET AS HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH PAUL LONDON. AS FIRE RISES FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE RAMP, LONDON RUNS DOWN TO THE RING AND THE DRAGON FOLLOWS. Ventura: "Well I talked to Kid Gundam today and he said he expects these two to help him acheive everything that he couldn't in Japan and he hopes the people of Japan watch him do it"! Cole: "He wants them to do his bidding! That's what he wants them to do! Kudos to the Ultimo Dragon for standing up for his country and helping out another newcomer here to PrimeTime.... Paul London"! Ventura: "Well sometimes it's better not to stand up Cole and the Dragon is about to realize that he should be on the other side of the ring". Akio and Sakoda vs. The Ultimo Dragon and Paul London As the bell sounded, Akio started with London and the two had a great series, first exchanging armdrags but after avoiding a jumping spin kick, London caught Akio with a powerslam. He then hit a standing moonsault into a cover for a 2 count. Akio reversed an irish whip and caught London with a spin around cross body block. He then tagged in Sakoda who came in with some thrust chops to London before locking in a nerve hold on his neck. London fought his way up and elbowed Sakoda in the gut but after bouncing off the ropes, Sakoda nearly beheaded him with a superkick. London really had some trouble with Sakoda for the next couple minutes as the bigger member of the team slowed things down with a deliberate attack. The focus of Sakoda's attack was the neck of London, which he went to after each move. He tagged Akio back in who came in with a springboard dropkick from the apron to a sitting London. He made the cover but London kicked out at 2. Akio got up but turned and knocked the Dragon off the apron with a right hand. But when he turned around, London got up and picked him up, driving him to the corner. Just as London made the tag, Sakoda distracted referee Chad Patton. The Dragon came in but Patton turned and forced him back out, saying there was no tag. As Patton explained this, Kyo Dai, as they are collectively known, double teamed London and made an illegal exchange. Sakoda clapped his hands to make it seem like there was a tag. He then measured London for a roundhouse kick but London was not totally out and he ducked it then bounced off the ropes and drilled Sakoda with a running enziguri. Both men were face down on the mat but London could hear the rallies of the crowd and he dove to the corner, tagging in the Dragon. This time, Patton saw it and The Dragon was on fire, hitting both men with back chops. Sakoda threw a kick but Ultimo followed his foot into a backsweep, a very unique move. Akio came from behind and jumped on the Dragon's back but Ultimo went to one knee and flipped him over his head. Ultimo then lifted Akio up to the top turnbuckle and tagged in London. London then got up on Ultimo's shoulders and from there, brought Akio down with a superplex, a move that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Ultimo went out and London tagged him back in but when London turned, Sakoda caught him with a running spin kick that knocked him through the ropes. Sakoda stood and yelled at London who was on the floor but when he turned around, Ultimo kicked him in the gut and hit his amazing Dragon DDT and hooked the leg for the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 7:22 Cole: "I still can't believe that move! What a win for London and the Ultimo Dragon and you know that fans in Japan have even gotta be cheering this Jesse"! Ventura: "Good for them! Kyo Dai is not gonna go away that easy... I gaurantee that"! LONDON AND ULTIMO WALKED UP THE RAMP TO A HUGE POP AS KYO DAI TRIED TO COLLECT THEMSELVES IN THE RING. Cole: "Well if nothing else, they'll have to re-evaluate the talent here on PrimeTime.... they aren't gonna get easy victories"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE..... BROCK LESNAR, BATISTA, SABLE, RANDY ORTON AND RIC FLAIR ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK. Lesnar: "I can't believe those two accepted and I can't wait to finally get them off our backs". Batista: "I just can't wait to see if someone is stupid enough to team up with them". Flair: "Guys, guys, calm down, we've got this. I mean, Randy Orton, Batista and Brock Lesnar... not to mention Sable... oh my gosh, who wants to mess with this team"?! Orton: "I don't know, that RKO must've knocked the rest of the sense out of Rockwell". Flair: "Well tonight, after you two have destroyed the Dynamic Duo, I'm gonna bring Rockwell back to reality and show him he's just the same as all the other ordinary superstars that have fallen to the Nature Boy.... woooo"! Orton: "Alright guys, I'm next and no disrespect, but I wanna beat Cyclone tonight without help so even you Ric, stay back here, I got this". Batista: "Go get 'em Randy"! ORTON WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. A PROMO FOR DEADLY GAMES IS SHOWN PREVIEWING THE 4 ELEMENTS VERSUS 2 MEMBERS OF THE FBI AND 2 MEMBERS OF THE MILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION IN ELIMINATION ACTION. THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL IBM. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CAMERAS PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN ROCKWELL AND RHYNO. Rhyno: "Come on, he's a good pick". Rockwell: "I don't know, I don't know if I like it, I mean, we need someone who wants to help us, not hims..... Rhyno: "Think about it Jordan. Who has more of a winning streak in the last couple years than Shane Thompson? He just beat Jamie Noble last week and he's one of the top young stars in a long time.... it's a great choice"! Rockwell: "Fine, but if he doesn't work out, I'll remind you of this conversation". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CYCLONE STANDS IN THE RING WITH THE HURRICANE WHEN RANDY ORTON's MUSIC BY MOTORHEAD AND HE COMES OUT TO A TON OF HEAT. Ventura: "Shane Thompson"? Cole: "I'm with Rhyno, I think that's a great pick". Ventura: "Well come on Cole, not only does he have differences with Rockwell, we're talking about the cream of the crop on PrimeTime and here's one of them"! Cole: "Ric Flair talked about Rockwell not having respect earlier but he needs to look at his own protege here and say that. Randy Orton is one of the most self involved, cocky superstars we've seen come through here.... well ever"! Ventura: "And like Cyclone is about to find out, he's one of the best! I wrestled with this kid's dad Cole, he comes from a great bloodline and trust me, Randy Orton is on the verge of one hell of a career"! Cyclone w/Hurricane vs. Randy Orton As soon as the bell rang, an aggressive Orton was all over Cyclone and he immediately tried to remove his mask. Cyclone foiled the attempt and caught Orton with a hip toss. Orton yelled to referee Mike Sparks that his hair was pulled and when Sparks went to question Cyclone, Orton got in a cheap shot. He then shot him to the corner and charged in but Cyclone got a foot up followed by a wheel kick. Cyclone then went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with a legdrop, hooked the leg but only got about 1 1/2. Cyclone stayed on the attack until Brock Lesnar came running out and for no reason, blasted Hurricane with a clothesline before whipping him into the steel steps. Sparks saw this and yelled at Lesnar to leave as Orton got in a low blow. But that wasn't enough. He then went and grabbed a steel chair and brought it in, smashing Cyclone over the head when he got up. Orton thought he had pulled one over on Sparks but the cracking sound forced Sparks to turn around and he saw Orton with the chair, Cyclone lying on the mat holding his head and then added two and two together before calling for the bell. Match Time: 4:39 Ventura: "What happened? Did Cyclone forfeit"?! Cole: "I think Mike Sparks has disqualified Orton! ORTON PLEADED WITH SPARKS BUT TO NO AVAIL, SPARKS MOUTHED THE WORDS "YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED". He has disqualified him"! INCENSED, ORTON PULLED THE CHAIR BACK AND SMASHED SPARKS OVER THE HEAD. Ventura: "Just what he deserved"! Cole: "What is Randy Orton thinking?! You don't do something like that"! ORTON's MUSIC HIT AND HE STOOD OVER THE 2 MEN, LAUGHING. Ventura: "He just did"! Cole: "Well he's gonna pay a hefty fine! I just find it funny that Orton told all his friends to stay in back but not only did Brock Lesnar come out, he tried to use a steel chair to steal one"! BACKSTAGE..... SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS IN HIS OFFICE WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN. Shane: "Okay, so here it is". SHANE POPS A TAPE INTO A VCR AND BAHAMUT IS SHOWN SITTING IN A DIMLY LIT ROOM. Bahamut: "Wakeman... I'm glad you got the note and I'm glad, for my sake, that you accepted my challenge. It shows how stupid you really are. But Wakeman, this is the beginning of the end for you. No one knows how things used to be. When I first joined the TWF, we were friends, we hung out, you taught me the tricks of the trade. But Wakeman, why was I always put on the back burner? Why did you always put that little bitch over me? Was I not good enough for you? Well you thought when you went to PrimeTime and I went to RAW when this company split that you'd seen the end of me. But Wakeman, when I heard I had a chance to be traded here, the first person I thought of was you! I've been waiting for this for a long time. You thought I was just some chump that you could string along and eventually, use for what you wanted. But Wakeman, everyone knows that I am the first true legend of the TWF and at Deadly Games, they're gonna see that first hand. That belt you have is secondary to me, I'm outy to hurt you. So now that you've accepted the match, I guess I'll tell you what kind of match it is. Truly, Deadly Games has an appropriate name because not only will we be inside a fifteen foot high steel cage, but the cage, will be on fire! The only way to win is to escape. So Wakeman, everyone knows what I'm about, I'll walk through fire, will you? You sure as hell wouldn't do it for me.... what will you do it for Wakeman? See you at Deadly Games.... old pal". SHANE SHUTS THE TV OFF. Shane: "So"? Travis Wakeman: "What do you mean so? Sign the damn match! He wants it... he's got it"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD HITS AND RAVEN COMES OUT TO A MOSTLY BOOS. Cole: "Are you kidding? A flaming cage match"? Ventura: "I like it Cole but if I was Wakeman, I'd hate it"! Cole: "Wakeman's reign as Universal champion and maybe his career as a TWF superstar could be in serious jeopardy but folks, before we get to this match, let's take a look at footage from earlier today between the Beast and his now, well former handler I guess". EARLIER TODAY THE 13TH APOSTLE IS SHOWN WITH THE BEAST IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. The 13th Apostle: "Beast, these people think you're a maniac, we've gotta turn down this Raven's rules match". The Beast: "No". 13th Apsotle: "Did you hear me? Are you deaf? I said..... THE BEAST GRABS THE 13TH APOSTLE BY THE COLLAR. Beast: "Did you hear me? I said no"! THE BEAST THEN TAKES HIM AND THROWS HIM AGAINST THE WALL AND WALKS AWAY. "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE BEAST COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Ventura: "So what? This guy's just running loose on PrimeTime"?! Cole: "I'd say so and to be honest, if I were Rockwell and Rhyno, I'd be taking a strong look at him as my fourth team member because let's face it, when he's on his game, he's as tough as anyone on PrimeTime"! Ventura: "Well tonight it's Raven's game, Raven's Rules"! Cole: "Raven made this challenge after The Beast started up the Thunder Dome. This match originated in ECW and the rules are simple.... there basically are none"! Raven's Rules: Raven vs. The Beast As the bell sounded, Raven came at The Beast with a kendo stick but Beast ducked and caught him with a stiff jab. After a big scoop slam, Beast picked up the kendo stick and swung it down but all he got was mat when Raven rolled away. Raven then got in a low blow before using the kendo stick to lowblow him a second time. Raven went outside the ring and pulled out a fire extinguisher and sprayed it in Beast's face. That led to the "Raven Effect" and Raven nonchalantly covered him and barely got a 2 count. Raven cowered in the back as The Beast came after him. He pulled him up by the throat and threw him across the ring. Beast then picked up the trash can at ringside and dumped out all the weapons. He put the trash can over Raven's head and picked up a baseball bat, smashing the trash can with it and knocking Raven to the mat. Beast then pulled Raven out and dropped him with a powerbomb. But instead of covering him, he looked to punish him some more. He grabbed a steel chair and set it up in the middle of the ring. But Raven reversed an irish whip and used his patented drop toe hold onto the chair. He immediately covered him and got 1.......2....., but Beast kicked out. Raven kicked him in the gut and set him up for the "Raven Effect" again but Beast countered with a northern lights release suplex. He followed that with a straight kick to the mouth before picking up the kendo stick. But just then, Aries came out and got into the ring. The Beast turned and Aries threw a handful of white powder in his eyes. As Beast staggered around the ring fighting for vision, Aries grabbed the kendo stick out of his hand and split it over his head. Raven rolled right onto him into a cover and referee Brian Hebner got down to count 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 8:01 Cole: "Well it took two men, white powder and a kendo stick but Raven has prevailed"! Ventura: "And I betcha The Beast will think twice before accepting a challenge like this again"! "END OF EVERYTHING" PLAYED AS ARIES AND A SPENT RAVEN WALKED UP THE RAMP. CAMERAS SHOWED THE BEAST LOOKING ON IN ANGER, BLOOD TRICKLING DOWN HIS FOREHEAD. Cole: "I think Raven and Aries may've enraged The Beast and I'd hate to be in their shoes"! BACKSTAGE.... SHANE THOMPSON IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE, SIGNING AN AUTOGRAPH FOR A MEMBER OF THE CREW. JORDAN ROCKWELL WALKS UP. Shane Thompson: "Nah Rockwell, he asked for my autograph, there's no need to get jealous". Rockwell: "I'm not here to sign autographs. I'm here to ask a favor". Thompson: "A favor? Of me"? Rockwell: "Yeah, Rhyno and I have agreed to face Brock Lesnar, Batista, Orton and Flair at Deadly Games in an elimination match and I'm looking for someone to be on.... Thompson: "You want me to be on your team? The almighty Jordan Rockwell is asking me to be on his team"? Rockwell: "Yeah, Rhyno suggested you". Thompson: "Oh, it's like that huh? Well, do you want me on the team"? Rockwell: "I want someone on the team, we need four guys"! Thompson: "No, I said do you want me....(points to himself) me on the team"? Rockwell: "Is that what you want? You want me to say it? Yes! Yes I want you on the team"! THOMPSON SMILES Thompson: "Alright..... I'm in. ROCKWELL STARTS TO WALK AWAY Hey Rockwell". ROCKWELL TURNS AND SHANE EXTENDS HIS HAND. ROCKWELL SHAKES IT AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR STACKER 2 YJ STINGER FEATURING JOHN CENA RAPPING IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, IDALIS COMES UP TO TRISH WITH A LARGE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. Idalis: "Here ya go Trish, these just arrived for you"? SHE HANDS THEM TO HER Trish: "Oh my, who are they from"? Idalis: "I don't know, they don't say". TRISH LOOKS THROUGH THEM AND THEN SMELLS THEM AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE JAMIE NOBLE IS IN THE RING AND "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET IS PLAYING. Cole: "What is that about"? Ventura: "Oh come on Cole, you know you sent them"! "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "Oh whatever. Folks huge news coming from Shane McMahon's office tonight as we already know that we will have a Flaming Cage match at Deadly Games but the Intercontinental title will also be defended inside a steel cage when Chris Tirpak puts the gold on the line against Charlie Haas"! Ventura: "A great match for sure but Tirpak better not slip up against Noble here! Noble's ready"! Non- Title: Jamie Noble vs. IC Chris Tirpak Noble attacked Tirpak from behind before the bell rang, kicking him in the legs and looking to break his vertical base. Tirpak did a good job of fighting him off until Noble ducked a clothesline and took him down with a chop block followed by a running dropkick as he tried to get up. Noble then tried for a sleeper but Tirpak stood up with him and fell back against the mat. He then whipped him to the ropes and hit a boot to the face. Building momentum, Tirpak shot him to the ropes again and backdropped him. But Noble landed on his feet and threw a clothesline when Tirpak turned around. But Tirpak was able to duck and kick him in the stomach before hitting the Impaler DDT and rolling him over for the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 4:06 Cole: "Jamie Noble has suffered another setback and Tirpak looks primed and ready for Deadly Games"! Ventura: "Matt Hardy's gotta sit Noble down and get him to refocus... the Mattitude is slipping away"! JUST THEN, THE HECKLING LAUGH OF TED DIBIASE IS HEARD AND IT LEADS INTO "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY". DIBIASE AND CHARLIE HAAS COME OUT CLAPPING AND HAAS HAS A MIKE. Cole: "Now what"?! Charlie Haas: "Well done Tirpak, well done! Now, we all know that you can be a barbarian, hence your selection of a steel cage match at Deadly Games and that's all fine and dandy, but what I do is wrestle, after all, that is what this is, right"? Ventura: "That's right.... this is wrestling"?! Haas: "So I have a proposal for you. Since I accepted your cage match, why don't you step into my world? On Saturday Night's Main Event, we have a wrestling holds only match. No punches, no kicks, no impaler ddt's, wrestling holds. I wanna see who the superior athlete is because after all, the superior athlete will hold that title". Ted Dibiase: "What do ya say Tirpak? I don't have to take out the billfold do I"? TIRPAK GETS A MIKE. Chris Tirpak: "I already said I don't want your money once but Haas, you want me to outwrestle you before I kick your ass at Deadly Games? Hey, it's cool with me, you're on"! "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND HAAS AND DIBIASE BOTH START TO LAUGH BEFORE GOING BACKSTAGE. Cole: "Tirpak has accepted"! Ventura: "That was a stupid move! Haas will have all the momentum heading into that cage match because there's no way Tirpak can outwrestle him"! BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM..... LESNAR AND COMPANY ARE SHOWN IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM. FLAIR IS IN HIS ROBE WARMING UP. Lesnar: "Alright, I've already kicked Hurricane's ass once, timeto go do it again". LESNAR STARTS TO WALK OUT THE DOOR BUT HE IS STOPPED WHEN SHANE McMAHON ENTERS. Shane: "Oh hey Brock, glad I caught you before your match because I have something to tell you and Batista. I just thought you guys would like to know that on Saturday Night's Main Event, you will defend your tag team titles against Rockwell and Rhyno. Oh and Sable, it's gonna be tough for you to help them win because you won't be able to go inside..... the House of Horror! You gentlemen and lady have a good rest of your night". SHANE WALKS AWAY AS BATISTA OVERTURNS A BENCH. AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE, "STAND BACK.... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AND STARTS UP THE HURRICANE's MUSIC. HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH CYCLONE TO A BIG POP. Cole: "Are you kidding me? A House of Horror match?! If memory serves me correctly, that match has only been seen here once in the TWF Jesse"! Ventura: "Shane McMahon is unbelievable.... absoultely unbelievable"! A CORD STRIKES AND BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS. THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO RIGHT AWAY AS BROCK HEADS DOWN THE RAMP WITH A VERY SERIOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE. Cole: "It's clear that Lesnar and Batista don't want this match Jesse but you gotta admit the fact that Rockwell and Rhyno have earned it! The power is slowly being drained from the power trip it seems"! Ventura: "I just wouldn't wanna be The Hurricane, that's all I know"! Cole: "Lesnar has already attacked The Hurricane once tonight, looking to get an advantage in this match so I'm glad to see Cyclone out here to watch his back". Brock Lesnar vs. the Hurricane w/ Cyclone Fans were ready to see Hurricane pull off the upset of 2003 but it was not to be as Lesnar was just too big, too strong and too much. Using the energy he got from Shane's announcement just moments ago, Lesnar got one of the quickest wins in recent TWF memory, catching Hurricane with a clothesline that turned him inside out and then dropping him with a double powerbomb. Lesnar then pulled him up and flung him onto his shoulders before hitting the "F5" to put him away. Match Time: :45 Cole: "That didn't even go a minute Jesse"! Ventura: "Hurricane was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I got a question for Rockwell and Rhyno! Do you two really wanna be locked up with this man and Batista"?! CYCLONE GOT INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON HIS PARTNER Cole: "The answer to that question is yes and I think..... whoa wait a minute"! LESNAR SAW CYCLONE TENDING TO HURRICANE AND WENT BACK, KICKING HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE. HE THEN LIFTED HIM UP AND DELIVERED ANOTHER BONE CRUNCHING "F5". Ventura: "Well the Dynamic Duo have just felt the pain Cole and this is the fate that awaits those other two"! Cole: "Well there was sure as hell no reason for what Brock just did and I hope that Rockwell and Rhyno show them a House full of Horror"! Ventura: "Unfortunately for you and most of these fans Michael, it's gonna be the other way around"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR AMSTEL LIGHT IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... RIGHT AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE INFAMOUS "WOOOOOOO"! IS HEARD AND RIC FLAIR's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT TO A RESPECTABLE RESPONSE IN ONE OF HIS ROBES, THIS ONE BLUE. Cole: "Back on PrimeTime and folks, there is only one Ric Flair! This is a main event for the ages"! Ventura: "You definitely won't see a one of a kind, first class superstar such as the Nature Boy on RAW and Cole, I've gotta excuse myself for a second here". VENTURA REMOVES HIS HEADSET AND STANDS UP AT THE BROADCAST POSITION, GIVING FLAIR A STANDING OVATION. FLAIR COMES OVER TO THE TABLE AND DOES A TURN BEFORE SHAKING VENTURA's HAND. Cole: "Ya ready now"? Ventura: "Oh yeah, I can't wait! Bring him out guys"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO THE LOUDEST POP THUS FAR. Cole: "Ric Flair said it was time to teach Jordan Rockwell some respect but I'm willing to bet that Rockwell has respect for him Jesse, he's one of the best ever"! Ventura: "He is the best ever as far as I'm concerned but Rockwell still needs the lesson Cole, lord knows he doesn't respect Lesnar or Batista who have taken over PrimeTime"! Cole: "Well he's not alone there and by our count, he has two partners for Deadly Games but he still needs a fourth! Who's it gonna be"?! Ric Flair vs. Jordan Rockwell As the bell sounded, Flair "Woooed" a few more times and a good part of the crowd followed but finally, they locked up. Flair tried to fight for position but Rockwell had too much upper body power, pushing him to the mat. Flair got up and swung with a right hand but Rockwell blocked it and fired back with one of his own, knocking Flair to the mat. Flair put his hands up, begging for mercy but Rockwell pulled him up and kicked him in the gut several times while Flair took the shots in the corner. Rockwell then sent him for the ride to the far corner and Flair hit the turnbuckle and flipped up over it, onto the apron. He ran along the apron and got up on the turnbuckle only to have Rockwell grab him and slam him to the mat. Rockwell covered him but Flair kicked out at 2. Rockwell sent him to the ropes for an irish whip and lifted him high into the air with a backbody drop, Flair landing awkwardly. Rockwell pulled him up and backed him to the corner but referee Earl Hebner got in, looking for a break. As he did, Flair got in a thumb to the eye and then pasted him with his famous knifedge chops. Rockwell's chest turned a beet red as Flair went into a knifedge-right hand combo, alternating between each. But soon, Rockwell became impervious to it and fired back with a headbutt. He then bounced off the ropes and hit a diving shoulder block. But then, Randy Orton came out from the back, looking to run interference. Rockwell saw him and the two exchanged words but from behind, Flair schoolboyed Rockwell to get 1.......2....., but Rockwell powered out. He then caught a charging Flair and tossed him through the ropes to the floor. Hebner forced Rockwell away from the ropes as Orton helped his mentor up. Flair got to the apron but Rockwell grabbed him for a suplex. As he lifted him into the air, Orton pulled his feet out, allowing Flair to land on him. Orton then held Rockwell's feet down as he ducked below the apron as Hebner made the 3 count. Match Time: 9:28 Cole: "Wait a minute, did Orton have Rockwell's feet"?! Ventura: "I didn't see anything". AS FLAIR's MUSIC PLAYED, HE AND ORTON CELEBRATED JUST OUTSIDE THE RING BUT ROCKWELL REACHED OVER THE ROPES AND GRABBED ORTON BY THE HAIR, DRAGGING HIM INTO THE RING. ROCKWELL THEN WORE HIM OUT WITH SOME RIGHT HANDS AND CAUGHT FLAIR TRYING TO SNEAK UP FROM BEHIND WITH A CLOTHESLINE. BUT SECONDS LATER, LESNAR AND BATISTA HIT THE RING.A 4 ON 1 ASSAULT STARTED BUT RHYNO AND SHANE THOMPSON RAN OUT TO A HUGE POP, LOOKING TO GIVE HIM SOME HELP. THEY HELD THEIR OWN BUT THE POWER TRIP SOON TOOK CONTROL UNTIL THE FANS WENT ABSOLUTELY WILD WHEN THEY HEARD GLASS BREAK AND "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN's MUSIC HIT. Ventura: "What's he doing"?! Cole: "It's the Texas rattlesnake"! AUSTIN HIT THE RING AND HIT LESNAR WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE HANDING OUT STUNNERS TO FLAIR THAN ORTON. BATISTA SWUNG WITH A WILD CLOTHESLINE BUT AUSTIN DUCKED AND HIT A STUNNER ON HIM. LESNAR GOT UP AND GOT IN AUSTIN's FACE BUT AUSTIN POINTED OVER LESNAR's SHOULDER. WHEN HE TURNED, RHYNO RAN THROUGH HIM WITH THE "GORE"! AUSTIN's MUSIC THEN HIT AGAIN AS THE 4 MEN STOOD TALL AND THE OTHERS RETREATED. THE CROWD WAS GOING BERSERK. Cole: "I think we just got our answer Jesse! Austin is the fourth"! Ventura: "He's the enforcer, not a wrestler"! A FINAL SHOT WAS SHOWN OF AUSTIN AND COMPANY, LOOKING ON AS THE OTHERS WALKED UP THE RAMP, HAVING WORDS. Cole: "Things are getting worse and worse for the power trip and their accomplices! Could Deadly Games be their final stand"?! OFF AIR.....
