Uncasville, Connecticut
Attendance: 9,208
It was a unique night inside the Mohegan Sun arena as visitors and TWF fans got to do a little gambling and catch some great wrestling action. Ping Pong balls were hung above the arena inside a huge net and the action got started with Uprising. Paul London vs. Robbie Rage (invitee) Fans may remember Rage from his days as a member of the tag team High Voltage. He presented London with more than a few problems and using his size and strenght, he wore him down for much of the match. But after hitting his dropsault and then a running enziguri, London came off the top rope with a scintilating Shooting Star Press and hooked the leg to get a 3 count. TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match Challenger.... Guido Maritato vs. The Ultimo Dragon The FBI's Guido Maritato totally disrespected the Dragon with a slap to his face but the Dragon retaliated with a flurry of offense. Guido escaped the Dragon DDT once but not a second time as the Dragon retained the gold and continued his hot streak. JUST THEN, THE NEAR CAPACITY CROWD CAME TO THEIR FEET AS THE SHOT SHIFTED INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE SHANE McMAHON WAS WITH BRADSHAW AND RAVEN. RIGHT BESIDE THEM WAS A MACHINE THROWING PING PONG BALLS AROUND. Shane McMahon: "Boys, welcome to PrimeTime Powerball. And since I wanna do things so differently tonight, we are gonna start the drawing on Uprising. JUST THEN, A BALL POPS OUT AND SHANE TAKES A LOOK. Shane: "Oh man, that's a tough break". SHANE SHOWS BRADSHAW THE BALL AND BRADSHAW WALKS AWAY, FRUSTRATED. RAVEN THEN TAKES A LOOK. Raven: "A pink slip on a pole match? What the hell is that"? Shane: "Well, if you wanna keep your job, I'd climb the pole before that big Texan does and grab his pink slip. Pink Slip on a Pole Match: Bradshaw vs. Raven The fight was on as these two were battling for their prospective careers. Raven tried to take any shortcut he could but Bradshaw prevented him from getting the slip 3 times. Finally, Bradshaw caught him with the Last Call and went up and got his fingertips on the slip when the bell sounded. Time for Uprising had run out and the time limit for the match subsequently had as well. Raven breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he was 1 second away from unemployment. He then faked like he was gonna exit the ring only to turn and kick Bradshaw right in the groin. He then hit the "Raven Effect" and the crowd loudly booed him for the next 2 minutes.
A GRAPHIC OF A SLOT MACHINE WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO WAS SHOWN AND IT MANUALLY SPUN ITSELF AS "RAP SUPERSTAR" BEGAN TO PLAY. PRIMETIME's BLACK AND WHITE MONTAGE THEN RAN BEFORE THE GRAPHICS OF 3 PING PONG BALLS BOUNCED ACROSS THE SCREEN AS THE ARENA CAME INTO VIEW. AFTER FIREWORKS AND PYRO LACED THE MOHEGAN SUN ARENA, THE NET FULL OF PING PONG BALLS WAS RELEASED, SOME WHITE AND SOME ORANGE AND THEY SPLASHED INTO THE SEATS. FANS SCRAMBLED TO GET THEIR HANDS ON ONE OR MORE WHILE OTHERS JUST SCREAMED AS LOUD AS THEY COULD. Michael Cole: "It's one hell of a night to be a wrestling fan.... Jesse, you in the gambling mood"?! Jesse Ventura: "Why don't you ask Pete Rose that"? Cole: "Welcome to PrimeTime Powerball folks, live from the Mohegan Sun and tonight, every single match you will see will be chosen by the drawing of a powerball Jesse"! Ventura: "People try and become multi-millionaires playing that game Cole but tonight, I don't think there will be many winners"! JUST THEN, THE SHOT CUTS TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE SEAN O'HAIRE IS WITH ESSA RIOS. Sean O'haire: "What do you mean gambling is no good for you? It's a great release from the everyday bump and grind. Matter of fact Essa, I think tonight would be a great night for you to try and, ya know, make a name for yourself". Essa Rios: "No comprende, no understand". O'haire: "Come with me, I'll tell ya what I mean". DRAWING ROOM.... INSIDE THE DRAWING ROOM, SHANE IS WITH TRISH STRATUS AND NIDIA. Shane: "Okay, you ladies ready"? Nidia: "I know I am. C'mon, what is it, bra and panties match? Mud wrestling"? SHANE PULLS OUT A BALL Shane: "No, it's a dogsled match". Trish: "What"? Shane: "Or should I say a dogsled race. Ladies, there's a hill just down the road from the arena. I'll get someone to take you two over there and you are gonna have a dogsled race with some of Connecticut's finest huskies". THE FANS CHEER Nidia: "Hmmm, are you one of the dogs Trish"? Trish: "Nidia, you're lucky I didn't get you in that ring". TRISH WALKS OUT AS THE SHOT SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA IS PLAYING AND AXL IRVIN IS IN THE RING WITH A CHAIN STRAPPED TO HIS WRIST. Cole: "A dogsled race.... that's gonna be great"! Ventura: "Well look what we got here, Axl Irvin has a chain". "STAND BACK.... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AND CYCLONE COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER. Cole: "This match was drawn out earlier today and Jesse, I agree with what you said about no winners tonight, this is gonna be a chain match". Ventura: "The chain match has been known to be one of the most brutal matches in wrestling history and I don't look for this to be pretty". Chain Match Axl Irvin vs. Cyclone Right as Cyclone was hooked to the chain, Irvin caught him with a cheap shot in the temple. Cyclone would be affected by this for the rest of the match as Irvin slowly chipped away at him with the weapon. But after ducking a chain led clothesline, Cyclone swept Irvin's legs out with his side of the chain. He then gave it some slack and pulled Irvin right into a wheel kick before going to the middle rope. But before he could jump off, Irvin ripped him down himself. He then dropped a big elbow on his chest to get a near fall. But Cyclone was able to turn an Irvin clothesline attempt into a flwoing ddt. Then, he hit the Whirlwind piledriver which has also been known as the Crash Landing and he hooked the leg to get the 1.....2......, but Irvin got a foot on the near bottom rope to stop the count. Cyclone then went to the top rope, pulling Irvin over as he did but when he jumped off, Irvin stuck a fist full of the chain right in his face. He then dropped him with the "Axl Cutter" right on chain and referee Jose Mendez forced him to give Cyclone some space. But when Mendez checked on Cyclone, he was unresponsive and Mendez stopped the match. Match Time: 6:07 Ventura: "What the heck happened"? Cole: "The ref has stopped this match Jesse". THE FANS LOUDLY BOOED THE DECISION. Ventura: "So Irvin's the winner"? Cole: "Mercifully yes and the fans don't like the call and Jose Mendez is a rookie referee but I like this call, he's protecting Cyclone who looks like he's gonna need medical attention". JUST THEN, THE HURRICANE CAME RUNNING OUT TO CHECK ON HIS PARTNER. SUDDENLY, IRVIN SNUCK BACK IN THE RING AND NAILED HURRICANE FROM BEHIND WITH THE CHAIN. Ventura: "Oh wow.... what a shot"! Cole: "For god sakes that's enough! Somebody get this lunatic outta here! I understand he's a newcomer to the TWF but this is not how to make a name for yourself"! Ventura: "Well I can gaurantee you Michael that the Dynamic Duo knows who he is"! BACKSTAGE AREA..... CAMERAS IN THE BACK FIND CARNEY WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL. Carney: "Hey Jordan, just wanted to make sure there's no hard feelings about last week. Rey and I didn't mean to spoil your first night as champs man". Jordan Rockwell: "Hey man, I'm not like that, you should know that by now. Rhyno and I just weren't ready for the match, you guys took it to us. Now do the same with Charlie Haas and get that number one contendership tonight". Carney: "I plan to brotha! Although I don't know what type of match it's gonna be yet". Rockwell: "Whatever it is, just go in with the attitude that you can get the job done man". ROCKWELL STARTS TO WALK AWAY. Carney: "Hey Jordan". Rockwell: "Yeah". Carney: "Are you still gonna live up to the rest of the deal you made..... and give Rey and I a shot at the titles"? Rockwell: "You guys earned it and I did say I'd do it so when you guys have the time, Rhyno and I will be in the place. See ya around and good luck again man". ROCKWELL WALKS AWAY AS CARNEY HAS AN EAR TO EAR SMILE ON HIS FACE. DRAWING ROOM..... BACK IN THE DRAWING ROOM, SHANE McMAHON IS WITH SHANE THOMPSON, MORTIS AND LOW KI OF THE CHOSEN. Shane: "Alright guys, obviously I didn't think it'd be a good idea to have Gundam and his boys in here with you at the same time so let's just find out what kind of match you'll be in tonight". Shane Tnompson: "Are you sure it's not because they speak little to no english"? McMAHON PULLS OUT A BALL McMahon: "Oh lookee there. Now we knew it was gonna be a six man tag team match. But in addition, it's gonna be a hardcore rules, six man tag team elimination match. You guys better get ready". MORTIS AND LOW KI WALK OUT AND THOMPSON JUST STARES AT McMAHON AS HE LEAVES AS WELL. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR COORS LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF AMERICAN IDOL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... TWF RE-WIND SHOWS THE CHOSEN's SAVAGE ATTACK ON THE BEAST LAST WEEK. AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE CHOSEN ARE IN THE RING BEING BOOED WHEN KYO DAI's JAPANESE TUNE HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime folks and ready for the match we just saw drawn out before the break, a hardcore rules six man tag team elimination match"! Ventura: "These two groups have been at each others throats for some time now Cole and it's time to find out which one is superior". Cole: "And what you all just saw as we returned has resulted in The Beast missing some time away from the action and doctors are saying at least a month Jesse". Ventura: "Well you gotta feel a little sorry for the guy but he did stick his nose where it had no business being last week". Cole: "By coming out for his match? I mean, he may've interrupted Thompson but there's no need for what they did but listen to this fans, the leader of The Chosen, Christopher Daniels has been selected as a part of a tag team that will face Brock Lesnar and another partner later tonight.... that oughta be interesting". Ventura: "I'd like to know what Shane McMahon is trying to pull by making a match like that". Cole: "Elimination rules apply here as this will be survival of the fittest"! Hardcore Rules 6 man tag team elimination match The Chosen vs. Kyo Dai Before they entered the ring, Kid Gundam, Akio and Sakoda each reached under the ring and pulled out kendo sticks. They slid into the ring sounding the bell but Thompson caught Gundam with a sharp kick and Mortis was able to avoid a shot from Sakoda. But Low Ki wasn't as lucky, getting blasted by Akio who then used the stick to come smash the legs of Low Ki, his main weapon. After 2 knifedge chops to Gundam, Thompson grabbed Akio's stick as he raised it above his head but Gundam kicked him in the gut and took the stick from him, smashing it over his back. Akio hit the ropes and went high as Gundam went low for a nasty takedown of Thompson. Mortis and Sakoda were enthralled in a heated exchange of punches as Low Ki got up and caught Akio with a running yakuza kick. He and Gundam then traded shots gut Gundam ducked a roundhouse kick and dropped him with a death valley driver. He went into a cover but Thompson made the save, 1 of a counted 18 saves in the match. Meanwhile, Mortis hit a sit down face first suplex on Sakoda and The Chosen had total control. Thompson went out and grabbed a steel chair and brought it into the ring but before he could hit Gundam, the IC champion caught him with a whip kick to the gut before attempting a DDT. But before he could execute it, Mortis and Low Ki came from behind and went for a double atomic drop, only to have Gundam counter with a double facebuster. Sakoda then got down on his hands and knees as Akio used him as a springboard to hit a flying kick to the face on Low Ki. He covered him but Mortis drug him off. Mortis then kicked Sakoda in the abdomen and rammed he and Akio together with a noggin knocker. Gundam got up and challenged Mortis one on one, catching him with a lovely headscissor. Low Ki came back with a springboard kick to the face that the crowd loved and he and Thompson then pulled him over with a double suplex. Thompson went into a cover but Akio came to make the save. Meanwhile, Sakoda had a trash can lid and he came into the ring, going wild and hitting every member of The Chosen twice. Akio then got on the top rope, using a trash can that Gundam wedged in for a little more height and he came off with a rounding splash legdrop on Thompson. It seemed like it was all over but just in time, Thompson kicked out. Mortis got up and snacthed one of the kendo sticks and nailed Sakoda across the back. Akio turned around to be blasted right over the head, putting him out cold. Gundam turned to catch Mortis swinging it and ducked before clipping him with a high kick to the head. Thompson came over but Gundam belted him with 3 straight knifedge chops that blistered his bare chest. Gundam took a step back and went for a running forearm shiver but Thompson crossed his forearms to block it and then pushed Gundam right into a sickening superkick from Low Ki who fell into a cover on him and referee Chad Patton made the 3 count. With Gundam down, The Chosen began to pick apart Kyo Dai. After a double suplex by Mortis and Low Ki on Sakoda, Thompson pulled him up and put him right back down with the "Outcast" to pin him. Akio, who was barely coherent, was the only man left and he didn't have much. Thompson shot him to the corner and moved aside for Low Ki to nail his cartwheel spin kick to the head and he followed that with the "Ki Krush Driver" for the academic 3 count. Match Time: 11:59 Cole: "That was a great, great match but it looks as though Kid Gundam and his men have paid the price here". Ventura: "The Chosen was dominant tonight Cole.... what a performance". Cole: "All three eliminations occured within one minute of each other and this has gotta give their group a lot of confidence"! Ventura: "There's gonna be a time for Gundam and Thompson to go one on one Cole and when it happens, I recommend everyone see it"! DRAWING ROOM.... THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE THE DRAWING ROOM WHERE SHANE AND STONE COLD ARE. Shane: "Great night so far man". Stone Cold: "That it is.... so what do ya say we pull out a match for the hell of it"? Shane: "Hey, I got a better idea. There's eight guys back in that dressing room who I told to be ready tonight. So what if we have a battle royale with those guys tonight with the winner facing the man who wins out of Charlie Haas and Carney, later tonight". Stone Cold: "I'm onto ya, I like it". Shane: "Alright, let's do it. Now one of those guys is The Hurricane but I think he was taken to the hospital. Any way you can find that out for me"? Stone Cold: "Ah hell, sure. And if I do, I'll tell him to suck it up and put a cold beer on it.... he can't throw this oppurtunity away. STONE COLD GETS UP TO LEAVE BUT POINTS AT SHANE. This is good stuff tonight Shane... good stuff". THE CAMERAS SWITCH TO A REMOTE, SNOWY AREA WHERE TWO VEHICLES PULL UP. TRISH AND TWF AGENT ARN ANDERSON GET OUT OF ONE AND NIDIA GETS OUT OF THE OTHER WITH TWF AGENT BARRY DARSOW. REFEREE JIM KORDERAS IS STANDING ON A HILL WEARING A HEAVY COAT. WITH HIM ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE AND 2 DOG SLED TEAMS. Ventura: "Where the heck is this"? Cole: "This is the dog sled race Jesse". Ventura: "This is ridicuolous". Cole: "I think it's great"! ONE OF THE MEN WITH THE DOGS BEGINS TO SPEAK. Man: "Okay ladies, here are two professionally trained teams of Siberian huskies. Don't worry, they know what to do. Just get in, pull the reigns and let's see who wins". Ventura: "They actually have to do this"? Cole: "This fans is a TWF first". Ventura: "And hopefully an only". NIDIA AND TRISH EACH GET INTO ONE OF THE SLEDS AND THE MAN FIRES A GUN INTO THE AIR WHICH TRIGGERS THE DOGS TO START. DOWN THE HILL THEY GO, PROBABLY 150 FEET. THEY ARE NECK AND NECK THE WHOLE TIME BUT AS THEY DRAW NEAR EACH OTHER, NIDIA REACHES OVER AND BACKHANDS TRISH, SLOWING HER DOWN ENOUGH FOR NIDIA TO WIN THE RACE. SHE JUMPS OFF THE SLED AND RAISES HER ARMS AND CLAPS AS KORDERAS COMES OVER TO DECLARE HER THE WINNER. Cole: "Wait a minute..... did you see what Nidia did"? Ventura: "Yeah, won the race"! Cole: "Oh look at this"! JUST THEN, TRISH TACKLES NIDIA IN THE SNOW AND THEY BEGIN TO ROLL AROUND. FINALLY, DARSOW AND ANDERSON COME OVER AND PULL THE TWO WOMEN OFF. Ventura: "You talk about a sore loser.... stick to modeling Trish"! Cole: "Sore loser? Nidia kinda backhanded her... what kind of sportsmanship is that"?! ANDERSON OPENS THE DOOR AND PUTS TRISH INSIDE BEFORE PULLING AWAY. THE SHOT THEN GOES BACK TO THE ARENA WHERE STONE COLD IS SHOWN WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM. Stone Cold: "No Jordan, it's not a joke, Essa Rios wants to fight you tonight"! Jordan Rockwell: "Pshhh". Stone Cold: "And Shane's kinda asked me to do the honors so here we go. AUSTIN FIDGETS WITH THE MACHINE A LITTLE. How does this damn thing work? JUST THEN, ABOUT 4 BALLS FLY OUT AND BOUNCE OFF THE FLOOR. Ah hell! (he picks up the nearest one) This'll work..... ah, it's the drawer's choice! Does that mean I pick"? Rockwell: "I think that means I pick". Stone Cold: "Well since the boss isn't here to clarify that, I'll just pick. (rubbing his chin) Let's see, you versus Essa Rios..... I got it! You'll love this. How bout a pinata match"? Rockwell: (not enthused) "A pinata match"? Stone Cold: "Yeah, you'll each get a stick and whoever can climb up and brang it open first will win". Rockwell: "Whatever.... Rios is gonna regret this one". ROCKWELL LEAVES THE ROOM AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL...... A COMMERCIAL FOR PIZZA HUT FEATURING JESSICA SIMPSON AND THE MUPPETS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "50 FIRST DATES". RETURN FROM BREAK.....BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, CHRIS TIRPAK IS SHOWN TAPING HIS WRISTS WHEN THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. Chris Tirpak: "Come in". THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND PRIMETIME NEWCOMER RICK PERFECT ENTERS WEARING ARMY FATIGUES. Rick Perfect: "Yeah, Chris Tirpak"? Tirpak: "Do I look like someone else"? Perfect: "Hey if this is a bad time.... TIRPAK LOOKS UP. Tirpak: "Oh, you're that new guy... Rick.... Rick.... Perfect: "Rick Perfect". Tirpak: "Yeah, the army wrestler. Welcome to PrimeTime man, survive if you can". Perfect: "Well that's kinda why I'm here. I've been watching this show and following the TWF since it opened and I've followed you career closely". Tirpak: "You have"? Perfect: "Yeah and I know that you've had a lot of success but there's something else I had to tell you and that's...... Tirpak: "Ya know what man, can it wait? I'm up". TIRPAK LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM. Perfect: (to himself) "Sure". BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, "TNT" BY AC/DC PLAYS AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT TO A LOUD, WELCOME POP. Cole: "It's time for that battle royale Shane made and on a side note, The Hurricane is not gonna be able to compete here tonight because of what Axl Irvin did to him earlier and that's just.... Ventura: "I'm still trying to figure out what this guy was trying to tell Tirpak". Cole: "Well even with the likes of Johnny Stamboli, Benoit, RVD, Bahamut, Matt Hardy and Sean O'haire, Tirpak's gotta be considered one of the favorites here". Ventura: "To the winner, a shot at whoever the number one contender is next week with a chance to go to WrestleMania"! Over the top battle Royale Even with the eighth competitor not able to compete, the ring was still reminiscent of a demolition derby. Chris Benoit went at it with O'haire while Stamboli and Bahamut teamed together to work on Tirpak. Rob Van Dam and Matt Hardy were already trying to dump each other out but Matt held the top rope and pushed RVD over. He turned thinking he put him out but only one of RVD's feet touched. He got back in and went for a high kick after a few quick jabs but Matt caught him and put him down with the Ricochet. After taking O'haire down with a snap german suplex, Benoit grabbed Matt, who was not watching his back, and flipped him out of the ring. RVD took Benoit down with a spinning heel kick only to be run over by a clothesline from Bahamut. Bahamut gorilla pressed RVD and moved over to toss him out but before he could, Tirpak gave him a shot to the back. Bahamut turned and caught Tirpak with a straight kick to the head but RVD perched himself atop the ropes and when Bahamut turned around, he came off with a flying kick to the chest that knocked him against the ropes and then using all the momentum he could, he tipped him out. Moments later, O'haire was tossed over the top rope with a backdrop by Benoit. Stamboli came over looking to get a quick elimination on Benoit but Benoit was not about to let it happen. Tirpak came over trying to use his strength to get them both out but RVD was the smartest, grabbing Tirpak by both feet and inching him over the other 2 superstars and they all pushed him out. Benoit caught RVD with a wicked knifedge but Stamboli knocked him to the mat with a headbutt. After a scoop slam, Stamboli climbed the turnbuckle backwards, looking for his spinning legdrop but RVD popped up and ran and pushed him all the way to the floor. It was down to RVD and Benoit and for the next 5 minutes, these two put on a clinic. Benoit hit the triple german suplex and a snap suplex but RVD countered his elimination attempt with a kick right to the forehead. That led to the Rolling Thunder followed by a spinning legdrop. After a float over suplex, RVD ran up the turnbuckle, looking to catch Benoit with his split legged moonsault but an alert Benoit got his knees up for an ugly landing. As RVD clutched his midsection, Benoit got up and came and tossed him out of the ring to win the match. Cole: "Chris Benoit has done it! The chance to go to WrestleMania still exists for the Crippler"! Ventura: "This is not fair to Haas"! Cole: "Haas? Carney's got a shot too ya know". DRAWING ROOM.... CAMERAS GO INTO THE DRAWING ROOM WHERE SHANE IS AT THE MACHINE. AT ONE SIDE OF HIM IS FRANKIE KAZARIAN AND GUIDO MARITATO AND ON THE OTHER IS TRAVIS WAKEMAN. Shane: "Okay, let's see what we get here. HE PULLS OUT A BALL Ooh, that's a tough one. Wakeman, Kazarian, get ready for a Singapore Cane match". Travis Wakeman: "Are both these guys gonna be out there"? Shane: "Well I..... Guido Maritato: "Oh you won't be alone, your girl's gonna be...... oh that's right, she must be a little wet". Wakeman: "Nah I'll tell ya what, you come out there. I dare ya to get involved in the match". "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH HIS TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST TO ONE OF THE NIGHT's BIGGEST POPS. HE IS VERY FOCUSED ON THE RING WHICH CONTAINS ESSA RIOS AND A CIRCULAR PINATA THAT HAS THE PRIMETIME LOGO ON IT. Cole: "I can't wait for this". Ventura: "It looks like once again, Essa Rios has taken Sean O'haire's advice once again and now, it's time for him to make a name for himself"! Cole: "Yeah, I wonder what advice he's taken that we don't know about but I think Rockwell's still a little in shock that Rios wanted this match". Ventura: "Well he did and as Rockwell and Rhyno found out last week with Mysterio and Carney, no win comes easily"! Pinata Match: Essa Rios vs. Jordan Rockwell Rockwell got into the ring and Rios waited for him but he speared Rios and wailed away with a barrage of right hands. He then picked him up and pushed him into the corner before slapping his chest over and over again. After a vertical suplex, Rockwell went to the turnbuckle and grabbed the stick, looking to bust to pinata open but Rios recovered and dropkicked him out of the ring to the floor. But rather then going for the pinata himself, Esaa jumped off the middle of the ring rope after running and completed a mid air shooting star press that brought the crowd to their feet. Both men were down but the crowd was loudly cheering. They got to their feet and Rios laid Rockwell on the announce table. Cole and Ventura quickly bailed as Rios went into the ring and got on the far turnbuckle. Unbelieavable, he flew off with a big splash but before he landed, Rockwell moved and he slammed into the wooden structure hard. "HOLY SHIT" was heard for the next 30 seconds as a battered Rockwell went into the ring and grabbed the stick. After climbing up, he busted the pinata open, sounding the bell. Candy poured onto the mat as "Rock Hard" hit. Cole: "The pinata has been creamed and Rockwell has won it..... another TWF first"! Ventura: "There's been a lot of those tonight Michael but I'd have to say that Rios did make a name for himself tonight"! ROCKWELL TOSSED HANDFULS OF THE CANDY INTO THE CHEERING CROWD AND THEN LOOKED DOWN AT RIOS, JUST SHAKING HIS HEAD. Cole: "Maybe not the way he wanted to, but you may have a point"! DRAWING ROOM...... WITH BROCK LESNAR, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS AND REY MSYTERIO ALL IN THE SAME ROOM, SHANE DRAWS OUT ANOTHER BALL. Shane: "Okay, Brock, you and Rey here are gonna team up in a strange bedfellows match against Chris and his partner". Brock Lesnar: "What?! What the hell are strange bedfellows"?! Shane: "Don't worry, you don't have to sleep with him, you're just teaming with someone who you may not see eye to eye with". BROCK LOOKS DOWN AT REY Brock: "You're right..... I don't even see close to eye to eye with him". BROCK ANGRILY STORMS OUT AND REY FOLLOWS, LAUGHING. Christopher Daniels: "And who would my partner be.... if I may daringly ask". Shane: "Oh, your partner is Rhyno, sorry I didn't mention that earlier". DANIELS GETS IN SHANE's FACE AND LOWERS HIS SHADES. Daniels: "Look McMahon, you might think you're screwing with us tonight, but you saw what happened to Kyo Dai. Wait till you see what happens to Rhyno if he does anything but slap my hand tonight". DANIELS WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR "MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS FIANCEE". RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, THE CHOSEN IS IN THE BACK AND CHRISTOPHER DANIELS IS PACING BACK AND FORTH, OBVIOUSLY ANGERED. Shane Thompson: "Don't let this bother you. Remember how lucky Brock got against you in the Elimination Chamber? And McMahon.... he chose Rhyno as your partner, but if Rhyno gets outta hand.... The Chosen will choose him for something else". DRAWING ROOM.... CARNEY IS AXIOUSLY AWAITING THE DRAWING OF HIS BALL WHEN STONE COLD ENTERS. Shane: "Hey Steve, you drew out the match for Haas last week, you want this"? Stone Cold: "Yeah I'll draw it, just make sure those damn balls don't go flying all over the place". HE DRAWS OUT A BALL AND GETS A GRIN ON HIS FACE. Shane: "What is it"? Stone Cold: "Bullrope match.... (he puts his hand on Carney's shoulder) go kick his ass son". THE SHOT SHIFTS BACK INSIDE THE ARENA WHERE THE FBI's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND GUIDO MARITATO IS IN THE RING WITH A SINGAPORE CANE WIELDING FRANKIE KAZARIAN. Cole: "What a night this has been?! When was the last time you saw a bullrope match Jesse"? Ventura: "It's been awhile, but it's been awhile since I've seen one of these too". "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP WITH A SINGAPORE CANE IN HAND. PYRO POUNDS OFF ON THE SET AS HE COMES DOWN THE RAMP. Cole: "Travis Wakeman has agreed to face the immortal Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania! Got any thoughts on that Jesse"?! Ventura: "Well if Wakeman had any respect for his so called hero, he would've respectfully declined the challenge... there's nothing in beating Hogan"! Cole: "Well there's gonna be a lot of beating here... those Singapore canes are about as unforgiving as it gets"! Singapore Cane Match Travis Wakeman vs. Frankie "The Future" Kazarian w/ Guido Maritato These two beat the hell out of each other, cracking each other with all they and their canes had. It was clear it wasn't gonna last long and after taking a severe beating, Wakeman hit Kazarian's cane, knocking it out of his hands and out of the ring. He then ducked a spin kick and readily delivered the Stroke of Bad Luck to get the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 5:10 Cole: "That was brutality personified..... they're gonna feel that in the morning". Ventura: "Wakeman better turn around"! GUIDO GRABBED KAZARIAN's CANE AND CAME INTO THE RING BUT WAKEMAN DUCKED HIS SWING AND TRIPPED HIM UP BEFORE LOCKING IN THE SHARPSHOOTER. GUIDO MERCIFULLY TAPPED OUT AND WAKEMAN FINALLY LET GO ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER. Ventura: "Let go for cryin' out loud"! Cole: "Well Wakeman dared Guido to get involved and he just did. But let's face it, Wakeman is wearing thin and he's showing the obvious frustration that has come from never again being eligible to be this division's champion"! "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AS WAKEMAN WALKED TO THE BACK, HARDLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE WIN. Ventura: "Get over it or get off... that's all I have to say". WRESTLEMANIA REPLAY WRESTLEMANIA 2: SHOWS WILLIAM REGAL DEFEATING THE ROCK IN A "BRAHMA BULLROPE MATCH", A MATCH THAT ALSO PUT THE ROCK OUT WITH AN INJURED ARM. BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" HITS FOLLOWING TED DIBIASE's LAUGH AND DIBIASE LEADS CHARLIE HAAS OUT TO A SHOWER OF BOOS. Cole: "Remember that at WrestleMania Jesse? We're about to get our dose of it right here on PrimeTime"! Ventura: "Well if Carney's not careful, he may end up the same way The Rock did that night". "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY TROTS OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "The way to win it to touch all four corners of the ring in succession and Jesse, your opponent is attached to you"! Ventura: "I don't need a wrestling lesson here Cole, I know that and being the stronger ring general Haas is, I gotta make him the favorite". Cole: "Last week Shane McMahon ruined Charlie Haas' Royal Rumble parade by announcing that every week between now and WrestleMania, he'll defend the number one contendership against a random opponent"! Ventura: "Yeah and tonight, it was a random match too"! #1 Contender/Bullrope Match Charlie Haas w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Carney As the bell sounded, referee Brian Hebner attached the 2 men on the bullrope and they locked up. Haas was intent to make Carney outwork him on the mat but even tied to Haas, Carney remained elusive. Haas used a nice go behind but Carney dropped down and went through his legs before dropkicking him in the back. Carney then pummelled him with 2 overhand rights before whipping him to the corner but Haas put the brakes on and pulled him right into a clothesline. After embarrassing Carney with a couple slaps to the head, Haas drove him into the match with a gutwrench suplex. He then began to make his way around the ring, touching 2 corners. But Carney cut him off on the third and caught him with a sit down jawbreaker. He then pulled Haas up and went for a flying forearm but telegraphed it and Haas moved. Carney hung over the top rope, choking as Dibiase came and laughed in his face, flashing a wad of cash. Haas pulled him back into the ring the hard way and picked him up for a piledriver. But Carney countered by pulling the rope against the shoulder of Haas, causing a burning sensation. He then shot him to the corner and followed with a calf kick that was on the money. He touched 1 corner but before he could get to the second, Haas tripped him up with the rope. Dragging Carney along, Haas went and touched the third turnbuckle and made his way to the fourth. But little did he know, Carney was following right behind, touching the 2nd and third turnbuckles himself. It was a race for the fourth and both men reached to grab it, Carney doing his best to pull Haas back when Dibiase interjected himself and pulled Carney's arm away. Haas slapped the fourth turnbuckle and won the match. Match Time: 7:26 Ventura: "Haas has survived again"! Cole: "This is ridiculous.... because of Dibiase again"! Ventura: "Dibiase and his money are taking Haas to WrestleMania.... that's all that matters Michael". Cole: "But is it good for PrimeTime? Is it good for the TWF?! It's just like the Yankees using their money to buy Alex Rodriguez! Is it good for the sport"?! Ventura: "Haas isn't done either"! HAAS HAD CARNEY LOCKED IN THE "HAAS OF PAIN" AS THE BELL CONTINUALLY SOUNDED. FINALLY, THE CROWD CAME TO THEIR FEET WHEN CHRIS BENOIT CAME RUNNING OUT AND HAAS AND DIBIASE SCATTERED. Cole: "Look at this"! Ventura: "What business does he have out here"?! Cole: "He will face Haas next week for the number one contender's spot but judging by this.... maybe the Elements aren't dead"! BENOIT HELPED CARNEY UP AS HAAS AND DIBIASE WENT BACKSTAGE. THE SHOT FADED OUT. A COMMERCIAL FOR PANTENE PRO-V SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNED, INTRODUCTIONS WERE BEING MADE FOR THE MAIN EVENT. Cole: "We've seen some strange matches on an unforgettable night here on PrimeTime but Jesse, what a main event". Ventura: "This is gonna be interesting... I look for Brock to take all three of them out"! Cole: "It's been a night of firsts and this is the first ever Strange Bedfellows match"! Strange Bedfellows Match Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Rhyno Daniels brought some sort of walking cane out with him and insisted that Rhyno start things off with Lesnar. After a lockup, the two men struggled for control but Brock backed him into the corner. Referee Earl Hebner jumped in, asking for a break but Brock drove his knees into the abdomen of Rhyno. After a huge beal, he tagged in Mysterio who hit the ropes nad nailed Rhyno with a sliding dropkick to the face. Rey then draped him over the middle rope and called for the "619" but Brock yelled at him not to do it and asked for the tag. Brock came in and nailed Daniels with a cheap shot he never saw coming. He then slapped a bear hug on Rhyno but Rhyno began to bite the nose of the Universal champ and went to make the tag, only to have Daniels not there, still recovering from the shot he took. After a big clothesline on the manbeast, Brock tagged Rey back in who came off the ring rope with a springboard senton bomb but Rhyno caught him and powerbombed him into the mat. He turned to tag but again, Daniels was not ready. Rey caught him with a spinwheel kick after popping up and slapped the shoulder of Brock, tagging him in. He then went into a front face lock but Rhyno got a burst of adrenaline and stood up. He flung Brock's arms up and nailed him with a headbutt before diving and forcefully tagging in Daniels. But Daniels grabbed his cane and lambasted Rhyno with it, knocking him to the floor. But when Daniels turned around, Brock kicked him in the bread basket and delivered the "F5", covering him for the 3 count. Match Time: 6:47 Cole: "Daniels clocked his own partner and it cost his team the match"! Ventura: "I don't think he cares.... look at this". THE CAMERA SHOWED THE REST OF THE CHOSEN WALKING DOWN THE RAMP, READY TO ASSAULT RHYNO. Cole: "We saw what these men did to The Beast last week.... now it's the manbeast's turn! Wait a minute"! JUST THEN, THE CROWD WENT WILD WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL FEVERISHLY RAN DOWN THE RAMP WITH A STEEL CHAIR. THE CHOSEN SAW HIM JUST IN TIME AND BAILED INTO THE CROWD. LOW KI JUST MISSED A WILD SWING OF THE CHAIR. ROCKWELL KNELT DOWN TO CHECK ON RHYNO BEFORE GETTING UP AND LOOKING AT THE RETREATING CHOSEN. OFF AIR.......
