New Orleans Arena

New Orleans, Louisiana

Attendance: 15,914

January 8, 2004

The atmosphere in New Orleans was abuzz as PrimeTime came to the home of the NBA's Hornets. The crowd came out early and filled the arena to near capacity, showing their TWF spirit. Uprising got the ball rollin' after the TWF's statement video that is shown prior to each show rolled.

SMW Match: Matt Stryker vs. Shannon Moore

Stryker showed off some explosive offense but Shannon Moore hung tough and caught him with a flying heel kick followed by the "Mooregasm" for the win.

Carney vs. Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase

This was a fabulous match in which Carney took control after hitting a flying forearm and a gorgeous missile dropkick. That all led to the "C-Drive" but Dibiase put Conway's foot on the bottom rope to save him. Carney got up and took out Dibiase with a baseball slide but when he turned back to his opponent, Conway spiked him with a DDT to get the win.

AFTER THE MATCH, DIBIASE AND CONWAY STAYED OUT AS NICK DINSMORE CAME OUT FOR HIS MATCH. CONWAY AND DINSMORE PUT THE BOOTS TO CARNEY UNTIL REY MYSTERIO's MUSIC HIT AND HE CAME OUT TO A HUGE POP. THE TWO TEAMS BRAWLED AND CARNEY WAS ABLE TO DROP DINSMORE ON THE STEEL RING STEPS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD. HE THEN ROLLED HIM INTO THE RING AND WENT AFTER CARNEY AS REY MYSTERIO GOT ON THE APRON AND WAITED FOR DINSMORE TO GET UP, HITTING HIM WITH THE "WEST COAST POP" TO GET THE 1......2......3 WHEN HE DID.

Raven vs. The Hurricane

Raven brought his physical style to New Orleans and wore Hurricane down with it. But the resiliency of the super hero and one half of the TWF Tag Team champions showed through as he got back in it with a reverse DDT and then took a hurracanrana attempt into a sunset flip to get the victory.

THE HURRICANE WALKED UP THE RAMP TO HIS MUSIC, HOLDING UP HIS TITLE BELT AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.

PRIMETIME GOES LIVE

"RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYED AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF BROCK LESNAR WINNING THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH AND BECOMING THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN WAS REPLAYED. A SHOT OF LESNAR HOLDING UP THE TITLE AFTER CLIMBING UP ON THE CHAMBER HE WAS STANDING INSIDE WAS SHOWN.

THE ARENA WAS THEN SHOWN AND PYRO AND FIREWORKS GAVE IT AN ORANGE GLOW AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" CONTINUED PLAYING AND THE FANS WENT BALLISTIC.

Michael Cole: "We welcome you to the New Orleans arena where tonight, PrimeTime is in full effect and Jesse, a huge night in store for these great fans"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN. BAHAMUT IS ON ONE SIDE AND ROB VAN DAM ON THE OTHER.

Jesse Ventura: "Two men who took part in that phenomenal Elimination Chamber match are gonna get it on tonight Michael.... Rob Van Dam faces the man who temporarily took him out of action, Bahamut"!

"WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE PLAYS AND CHRIS BENOIT COMES OUT TO A STANDING CHEER.

Cole: "And listen to this, Chris Tirpak has challenged all three members of Kyo Dai to a two on three match, along with his partner Bradshaw but listen to this reaction for the rabid wolverine"!

Ventura: "These people are on their feet"!

AFTER BENOIT GETS INTO THE RING, THE LIGHTS GO OUT EXCEPT FOR A BLUE SPOTLIGHT WHICH IS FOCUSED ON ARIES WHO HAS JUST STEPPED OUT TO HIS MUSIC. ONLY HIS MASK SHOWS IN THE DARK SETTING BEFORE HE WALKS DOWN TO THE RING.

Cole: "Great match to kick things off tonight as Benoit will have his hands full with this guy".

Ventura: "Ya gotta wonder how Benoit feels about Dylan Jansens falling short in the New Year's battle royale, knowing he didn't even get a chance to be in there".

Cole: "Well it was a unanimous decision by the rest of the Elements to put Jansens in there but the man who did go on to win that, Batista, is scheduled to make his resolution announcement tonight as well"!

Ventura: "And I can't wait to hear what that's gonna be".

Cole: "Well we can tell you that Benoit wasted no time getting his name into this year's Royal Rumble and he's heading in there with a lot of momentum but Aries could take a lot of that away tonight".

Ventura: "Well that's not all he did before the show started tonight, take a look at this".

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY OF THE 4 ELEMENTS STANDING IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM.

Chris Benoit: "Listen guys, I know I got Aries tonight and wherever he goes, Raven is sure to follow. But I don't care what happens out there.... none of you better come out and try ti help me".

Cole: "So when did the Elements stop being a group? Benoit might need some help if Raven comes out here".

Aries vs. Chris Benoit

Aries tried to run up on Benoit from behind but he immediately took him down with a hard armbar before locking in the Crossface. Aries was able to get to the bottom rope to break the hold but Benoit stayed on the arm like a shark smelling blood. After pulling the arm down on the top rope, Benoit went for a shoulderbreaker but Aries escaped his grip and drove him into the mat with a DDT after a kick to the gut. Aries then mounted Benoit and hammered away with right hand after right hand. He then pulled him up and whipped him into the corner before charging in but Benoit caught him with a boot to the face followed by a release german suplex. Benoit then hit a snap suplex before using his familiar throat slash gesture and ascending the top rope. He dove off with his flying headbutt but Aries was able to escape out of harms way. He then got up and drove his knee into the throat and neck area of Benoit before pulling him up and hitting an inverted atomic drop before just grabbing him by the back of the head and whipping him into the mat. Aries then got on the back of Benoit and locked in the Gas Mask, his vaunted submission hold. But Benoit was able to escape the clutches of the hold right into the Crossface. Raven came running out and jumped up onto the apron but Benoit saw him and let go of the hold before drilling him with a running forearm that knocked him to the floor. Aries got up and knocked him down with a clothesline before scooping him up for a running powerslam. But Benoit slid off and grabbed his arm, again locking in the Crossface and getting Aries to give up.

Match Time: 6:47

Cole: "Oh he got him! It's all Benoit"!

Ventura: "Raven came out and Benoit still got the win.... he doesn't need the Elements Cole"!

Cole: "Well I don't know whether that's true or not but Benoit is steamrollin' headin' into the Royal Rumble"!

BENOIT WAS SHOWN LOOKING BACK AT THE 2 MEN IN THE RING BEFORE THE SHOT WENT INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

BACKSTAGE....

ROB VAN DAM IS SHOWN DOING SOME SHADOWBOXING WHEN "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES UP.

Stone Cold: "Hey Rob"!

RVD: "Yeah".

Stone Cold: "So uh, are you alright to go tonight"?

RVD: "Why does it matter to you"?

Stone Cold: "Well because as Enforcer of PrimeTime, I can't allow one of the superstars to go out there if he isn't up to it"!

RVD: "Yeah, it's cool. But then again, everything's cool when you're Rob.... Van.... Dam".

RVD WALKS OFF AND AUSTIN CAN ONLY GRIN AS PRIMETIME GOES TO BREAK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK....

A COMMERCIAL FOR TRAVELOCITY.COM IS SHOWN.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, BATISTA's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE.

Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime and we have been joined by the man who won the New Year's battle royale, Batista".

Ventura: "And this is the moment of truth Cole, what is he gonna announce as his resolution for 2004 as it pertains to this show"?!

Batista: "Ya know, I gotta admit, winning the New Year's battle royale opened the door to so many possibilities. But after talking with Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton and of course, Ric Flair and Sable, we came up with the resolution that best fits PrimeTime! Travis Wakeman, you have been a thorn in all our sides for too long! So we thought, what better way to effectively eliminate you than to make you ineligible from winning the Universal title ever again"!

Cole: "He can't do that"!

Ventura: "Wow"!

JUST THEN, "HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AND SHANE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A WELCOME CHEER.

Cole: "Here we go"!

Shane McMahon: "Is that how it's gonna be Batista? Can't beat 'em so take 'em out?! Yeah, I know how you guys operate. Unfortunately, I can't change your decision.

THE FANS LOUDLY BOO

But, since you decided to target one individual, what I will do is this. Tonight, in that very ring, you're gonna have to defeat Travis Wakeman all by yourself. And if you do, then and only then will your resolution become effective! Chew on that, big man"!

"HERE COMES THE MONEY" HITS AGAIN AND BATISTA IS LESS THAN THRILLED.

Ventura: "Are you kidding me?! He can't do that"!

Cole: "Oh yes he can, he owns PrimeTime and Batista is gonna have to beat Wakeman tonight in order for he and his boys to keep him out of the title picture"!

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS KID GUNDAM DEFEATING CHRIS TIRPAK TO BECOME THE NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.

"TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT ALONG WITH BRADSHAW.

Cole: "Chris Tirpak requested this match and he's got that brawler partner of his, Bradshaw, with him"!

Ventura: "Well I think Tirpak is crazy for asking for a match against three individuals, especially when one of them beat him at War in the Winter by himself"!

KYO DAI's MUSIC HITS AND THE TRIO COMES OUT TO SOME LOUD BOOS. KID GUNDAM HAS THE IC TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER BUT SUDDENLY, TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW LEAVE THE RING AND GUNDAM DIRECTS AKIO AND SAKODA AT THEM.

Cole: "Well Tirpak and Bradshaw aren't wasting any time... look out"!

TIRPAK BACKDROPPED SAKODA ON THE RAMP AND THEN LOCKED HIS EYES ON GUNDAM. GUNDAM CHARGED WITH THE IC BELT BUT TIRPAK AVOIDED IT AND THEN JUST KICKED HIM IN THE FACE. BRADSHAW THEN WHIPPED AKIO INTO THE RING STEPS AND EVEN THOUGH THE MATCH NEVER BECAME OFFICIAL, REFEREE MIKE SPARKS HAD SEEN ENOUGH AND WAVED IT OFF.

GUNDAM AND HIS MEN COLLECTED THEMSELVES AND LEFT AFTER SOME PARTING WORDS TOWARDS BRADSHAW AND TIRPAK.

Cole: "Referee Mike Sparks has thrown this one out but what the heck has gotten into these two"?!

Tirpak: "Now that that's over, I only have one thing to say! Now I want the pain! I want Brock Lesnar"!

Cole: "What"?!

Ventura: "Now it's confirmed.... this guy is crazy"!

"TNT" PLAYED AGAIN AND TIRPAK AND BRADSHAW LEFT TO A LOUD CHEER.

Cole: "Mysteriously, Chris Tirpak has gone from one problem and created another! He's called out the Universal champion"!

BACKSTAGE....

TED DIBIASE IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN PRIMETIME NEWCOMER AXL IRVIN COMES UP.

Axl Irvin: "Excuse me Mr. Dibiase, Charlie Haas told me to come find you".

Ted Dibiase: "Well I'm glad you got the message. Now Axl, I've had my eyes on you for awhile now and I was just wondering if you'd be interested in making some extra money".

DIBIASE PULLS OUT A WAD OF CASH.

Irvin: (excitedly) "Okay, what do you want me to do"?

Dibiase: "Come with me. We'll talk about it over a bottle of wine".

THE SHOT SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE SEAN O'HAIRE IS IN THE RING, PREPARING FOR ACTION.

Cole: "What the heck is that about"?

Ventura: "It's early to say Cole but I think old Axl Irvin is gonna have a great start to his career here on PrimeTime as long as he listens to the Million Dollar Man"!

PAUL LONDON's MUSIC HITS AND HE TROTS OUT TO A DECENT POP.

Cole: "Well that's your opinion but right now, we've got what should be an interesting match between Sean O'haire and Paul London".

Ventura: "It's a major contrast of styles Michael Cole but if I'm Paul London, I'm watching out for the martial arts background of O'haire"!

Sean O'haire vs. Paul London

As the bell sounded, London used his elusiveness to strike O'haire but avoid any retaliatory shots. He caught him with his dropsault and then hit the ropes and went for a headscissor takedown but O'haire just took him down with a facebuster. That led to a sit out spinebuster which got him a 2 count. O'haire then sat London up and bounced off the ropes, kicking him right in the chest with a soccer style shot. O'haire then pulled him up and whipped him into the ropes but London saw his spinning roundhouse kick coming and he ducked it before popping up into an enziguri. He went for the cover and got 1.....2......, but O'haire kicked out. After a leg-o-matic, London went to the top rope and came off with a shooting star press. But O'haire recognized he was close to the ropes and he just stuck his foot underneath them. An alert referee Jack Doan noticed and notified London. O'haire then got up and went for a superkick but London moved and the kick drilled Doan, sending him to the mat. London then caught O'haire with a swinging tornado DDT before again going to the top rope. Just then, Essa Rios came out and grabbed a steel chair. He looked around as if to say "what should I do"? before hesitantly hitting London in the leg. London crashed to the mat and O'haire got up, smiling evily when he saw Rios. He then went to the top rope and came off with the rarely used Seanton Bomb as Doan got up to make the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:23

Cole: "Well folks, I don't know what to make of this, but Essa Rios has cost Paul London this match"!

Ventura: "He's returning the favor to O'haire for all he's done to help him"!

Cole: "Help"?

O'HAIRE PULLED LONDON UP, IN POSITION FOR THE "WIDOWMAKER" BUT THE ULTIMO DRAGON CAME OUT TO A HUGE POP AND O'HAIRE LET GO OF LONDON WHEN HE SAW HIM. HIS MUSIC THEN HIT AND HE AND RIOS LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS AS ULTIMO CHECKED ON LONDON.

Cole: "Well good thing Ultimo Dragon was watching what was about to transpire but this connection between Sean O'haire and Essa Rios is getting very hard to comprehend"!

Ventura: "Well I think Rios is on the right page... finally"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR PUR WATER FILTERS IS SHOWN.

RETURN FROM BREAK....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, JORDAN ROCKWELL IS WITH IDALIS.

Idalis: "Jordan, tonight you will face Mortis in one on one action. Is it gonna be showtime here tonight in the Bayou"?

THE FANS INSIDE THE ARENA CHEER

Jordan Rockwell: "Well by now you know that whenever Jordan Rockwell's in the house, it's always showtime! And not only tonight will it be showtime, but at the Royal Rumble as well because right here tonight, I'm throwin' my name into the hat... I wanna be in the mix of the thirty man Royal Rumble"!

JUST THEN, RHYNO COMES UP.

Rhyno: "What was that man? Are you saying screw our quest to become tag team champions"?

Rockwell: "Rhyno, that's not what I'm sayin'".

Rhyno: "Well it sure sounds like it. I gotta go, I got a tag team match tonight".

Rockwell: "Well..... ugh......

RHYNO WALKS AWAY LEAVING ROCKWELL IN MID SENTENCE.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER AND THE POP OF HIS PYRO.

Cole: "So it appears that Jordan Rockwell will enter the Royal Rumble match as well"!

Ventura: "Yeah, but Rhyno didn't like it one bit"!

A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF WHEN BAHAMUT GORILLA PRESS SLAMMED RVD THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, TAKING HIM OUT OF ACTION.

Cole: "Rhyno will team with The Beast later to meet Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton but now, something RVD's been waiting for for a long time".

"BOMBSHELL" BY POD HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Ventura: "He's been waiting for a long time to get the beating of his life from this man, that shows the intelligence of RVD".

Cole: "RVD's gonna have to outwit Bahamut and use his quick feet to bring him a win here. Bahamut is built to destroy and if RVD's not ready, like Stone Cold suggested earlier, he could be in a lot of trouble here".

Rob Van Dam vs. Bahamut

The bell sounded and RVD tried to lock up with Bahamut but was just thrown to the mat. RVD then hit the ropes and ducked a clothesline before going for a springboard back kick but Bahamut avoided then and kicked him right in the face with a big boot. He then dropped a big leg across his chest and covered him but could only manage a 2 count. Bahamut then pulled RVD up and dropped him stomach first across his knee. Bahamut then got down and drove the base of his forearm into RVD's head, causing RVD to scream in pain. Bahamut then pulled him up and set him up for a big powerbomb but RVD was able to punch his way out of the predicament and then caught Bahamut with a spinning heel kick followed by a spinning legdrop. He then went for the cartwheel moonsault but Bahamut got his knees up in his gut. Bahamut then delivered the snake eyes before bouncing off the ropes and drilling him with a clothesline. That led to a running powerslam but again, Bahamut could only get a 2 count. He then irish whipped him but RVD ducked a swinging backhand and threw a kick but Bahamut caught it only to be drilled by RVD's step over. RVD then came up with a unique pin in which he used his legs against Bahamut's for a bridge pin and referee Mike Chioda got down to count the quick 3.

Match Time: 7:28

Ventura: "What was that"?!

Cole: "That's called a victory and I think RVD just answered Stone Cold's question..... he was ready to go"!

"ONE OF A KIND" PLAYED AND THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED AS RVD LEFT IN VICTORY. BAHAMUT SAT IN THE RING WITH HIS HEAD THROUGH THE ROPES, POINTING AT RVD.

Ventura: "He escaped... that's all he did Cole"!

Cole: "Last year's Royal Rumble winner is building up the momentum to possibly repeat"!

BACKSTAGE.....

RVD IS SHOWN COMING THROUGH THE CURTAIN TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND HE WIPES THE SWEAT OFF HIS FACE BEFORE RUNNING INTO STONE COLD.

Stone Cold: "Glad to see your back RVD".

RVD: "Thanks man".

RVD WALKS OFF AND AUSTIN TURNS TO GO THE OTHER DIRECTION BUT RUNS INTO RANDY ORTON.

Stone Cold: "What the hell do you want"?

Randy Orton: "I don't want anything from you, but Brock Lesnar does. He told me to come tell you that he expects an apology from you by the end of the night for what you did at the awards show the other night".

Stone Cold: "Is that right?

ORTON NODS HIS HEAD "YES".

Well tell him I'll give it some thought".

BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALL FIRED UP ALONG WITH SABLE.

Cole: "The first PrimeTime in 2004 could mark the end of Travis Wakeman's chances to ever be the Universal champion again and it'll happen if this man can win"!

Ventura: "It's a great plan by Batista and just a little tidbit Michael Cole, Batista has beaten him before"!

"MAKE WAY" HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A DEAFENING CHEER ALONG WITH TRISH AS HIS PYRO POUNDS OFF.

Cole: "He also became the Intercontinental champion with that win but as strange as it may sound, he may want this one more"!

Ventura: "He's got Trish with him. That's something he's kind of gone away from lately"!

Cole: "Well that's gotta be to counter Sable but let's break it down Jesse. If Wakeman loses, he loses the oppurtunity to compete for what every superstar on PrimeTime is here to be! He loses a chance to compete for the title he cares about more than anything, he loses the chance to ever be the Universal champion again"!

Ventura: "Batista is ready.... let's hope Wakeman is".

Batista w/ Sable vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Trish Stratus

The bell sounded and the 2 gladiators circled each other, looking for a point to attack. They locked up and the stronger Batista backed Wakeman into the corner and when referee Chad Patton got in the middle to break them up, Batista caught him with a cheap shot. He then pulled him out of the corner right into a short armed clothesline before letting out a loud scream. He then picked Wakeman up and locked in a bearhug. Shaking it with all he had, Batista was squeezing the life out of him but finally, he got some seperation after an ear clap. He then hit the ropes but Batista shook it off and blasted him with a clothesline. He went for the cover but Wakeman kicked out at 2. Batista pulled him up and picked him up with a military press before just dropping him behind his head and Wakeman landed face first on the mat. Batista's power was beginning to wear Wakeman thin and after a devastating spinebuster, it looked like it was all over but somehow, Wakeman shot his left shoulder up. This pumped some life into the crowd and Wakeman began fighting back. After blocking a right hand, Wakeman fired back with some of his own before whipping him into the ropes and scoring with a back elbow. Wakeman then grabbed Batista's legs and turned him over with the Sharpshooter. But Sable got up on the apron and Wakeman let go of the hold. Patton went over and got in her face but Sable stopped the arguing by planting a kiss on Patton! The distraction had allowed Batista to slither out of the ring and grab a steel chair and he brought it in, ready to drill an unsuspecting Wakeman but Trish jumped in the ring and grabbed the chair from him. Batista turned and stalked Trish but Wakeman came from behind with a forearm, knocking him to the mat. Just then, Sable pointed this out to Patton who looked at Trish holding the chair and called for the bell.

Tony Chimel then announced that Wakeman had been disqualified and Batista was the winner of the match!

Ventura: "His resolution just went into effect"!

Cole: "This can't be, this just can't be".

BATISTA CARRIED SABLE OFF TO A JUBILANT REACTION AS WAKEMAN LOOKED AT TRISH IN DISBELIEF. TRISH LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO CRY AND COULD ONLY SAY "I'M SORRY".

Ventura: "Wakeman will never again be the Universal champion"!

Cole: "All she was trying to do was help but folks, we have just witnessed a tragedy as far as I'm concerned. We better just go to break".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR CAPITOL ONE IS SHOWN.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....

AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, MORTIS IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING.

Cole: "Welcome back to a very somber scene here on PrimeTime but it's back to business folks and let's take a look at what Christopher Daniels had to say to the rest of The Chosen during that last break".

DURING THE BREAK....

CHRISTOPHER DANIELS AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CHOSEN ARE SHOWN IN A DRESSING ROOM.

Christopher Daniels: "It's not about good guys and bad guys my friends. Tradition says that the good guys are supposed to face the bad guys but we have been chosen to change that tradition, to eliminate that tradition. So whether ot's Jordan Rockwell or Brock Lesnar, no one is a friend, just a target".

"ROCK HARD" HITS AND PYRO GOES OFF EVERYWHERE AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT AND RECEIVES A HUGE POP.

Cole: "Well coincidentally, this is Jordan Rockwell but in all honesty, does he really know what he's talking about"?

Ventura: "I'd say he does Cole and as he said, no one is a friend, just a target. I mean, he's convinced a bunch of guys who tradition has said should be nothing more than card fillers and got them focused on killing that tradition"!

Cole: "Well brainwashing is what I call it but tonight, Mortis has been given the assignment of taking Rockwell out".

Mortis vs. Jordan Rockwell

This was an excellent match filled with plenty of counters and a torrid pace. After an exchange of right hands, Rockwell was able to catch Mortis with a big powerslam but when he went for the Rock Smasher, Mortis escaped with an elbow to the side of the head. Mortis then delivered some more right hands but Rockwell turned a clothesline into a armbar takedown right into the Pain Killer. Mortis reached his leg to the bottom rope but moments later, Rockwell had him set up for the Scarlet Fever. Mortis came up with a great counter though into a DDT before doing what he does best, creating innovative offense. After a quick russian leg sweep, he lifted Rockwell onto his shoulders and climbed to the middle rope with him, coming off with a falling samoan drop. He made it into a cover but Rockwell rolled his left shoulder up at 2. Mortis then got in a slight kneelift followed by an inverted neckbreaker but after Rockwell kicked out at 2, he picked him up for the "Flatliner" but Rockwell escaped and kicked him in the gut. He then went for an irish whip but Mortis reversed it. He telegraphed his move on the comeback however and Rockwell stopped in front of him. When he rose up, Rockwell kicked him in the gut and BOOM, "Extreme Measures". Rockwell then hooked the leg and got the 1......2......3.

Match Time: 7:28

Cole: "He said it was gonna be showtime and he was prophetic"!

Ventura: "Well did he predict this"?!

JUST THEN, LOW KI AND SHANE THOMPSON HIT THE RING AND SWARMED ROCKWELL. AFTER A STIFF KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD BY LOW KI, THOMPSON LIFTED ROCKWELL UP AND PUT HIM DOWN WITH THE "OUTCAST" BEFORE SCREAMING SOME OBSCENITIES AT HIM. THE CHOSEN's MUSIC THEN HIT AND THE 2 LEFT THE RING AS THE CAMERA GOT A SHOT OF CHRISTOPHER DANIELS WHO WAS STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP CLAPPING.

Cole: "Someone come out here and stop this madness"!

Ventura: "Everyone's a target Cole"!

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS THE ALTERCATION BETWEEN STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN AND BROCK LESNAR FROM THE 4TH ANNUAL TWF AWARDS SHOW.

A CORD STRIKES BRINGING UP BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT AND DOES HIS PRE-MATCH HOP WITH THE SHINING UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. RANDY ORTON AND RIC FLAIR SOON FOLLOW AS THE CROWD LOUDLY B0OS.

Cole: "Here comes the pain and then some and Lesnar has with him that newly won Universal title after surviving the grueling Elimination Chamber"!

Ventura: "Oh, you must mean the Universal title that Travis Wakeman will never again win"!

"SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE BEAST COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

Cole: "Who knows where that leaves Wakeman but this man here has had his share of problems with Brock Lesnar and he'd love to take him out tonight"!

RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT POUNDING HIS CHEST TO A GOOD CHEER.

Ventura: "Lesnar and Orton are very familiar with each other and I'm pretty sure you can't say the same about these other two"!

Cole: "Maybe not, but they do have one thing in mind here, against all odds, defeat Lesnar and Orton"!

Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton w/ Ric Flair vs. The Beast and Rhyno

Orton started the match with Rhyno but after a couple lock ups, Orton decided he didn't want anymore and he tagged out. Rhyno locked up with Lesnar and used a standing go behind before clubbing him in the back. Lesnar fired back with a clothesline but Rhyno ducked and caught him with 2 stiff right hands. He then went for an irish whip but Lesnar reversed it and Orton stuck his knee up. Lesnar then clotheslined Rhyno before tagging in Orton. Orton wasted some time following up and Rhyno deposited him with a spinebuster before tagging in The Beast. After he and Rhyno each put some boots to Orton, he was all over him. After a running powerslam, he went for the cover but Lesnar came in to stop it. The Beast and Rhyno continued to tag out at about 30 second interviews but after reversing an irish whip, Orton clocked The Beast with his magnificent dropkick. He then tagged in Lesnar who came in and dropped Rhyno with a cheap shot. But this allowed The Beast to get up and he tackled Lesnar and hammered away with haymakers. He then shot him to the ropes and clobbered him with a flying shoulder block before taking Orton out with a cheap shot of his own. The Beast whipped Lesnar to the corner but he moved when he charged in and The Beast posted his shoulder. Lesnar then picked him up and delivered the "F5" as Flair ran around the ring and prevented Rhyno from making the save as Brock got the pin.

Match Time: 9:02

Cole: "The F5 has carried Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton to victory here and a big victory at that"!

Ventura: "Wait a minute, what the hell is this"?!

JUST THEN, CHRIS TIRPAK RAN OUT AND SLID INTO THE RING, GETTING NOSE TO NOSE WITH LESNAR. AFTER A 10 SECOND STARE DOWN, LESNAR WALKED AWAY AND EXITED THE RING AS HIS MUSIC HIT. TIRPAK JUST LOOKED ON AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.

OFF AIR.......
