Attendance: 14, 972
April 15, 2004
It was a magical night in Orlando, no pun intended. Superstars spent the day in Disney World before coming to the arena for some heavy hitting action. This crowd was really treated to a terrific show that all got started with Uprising. On a side note, this show produced the highest merchandise sales of any TWF show in 2004. TWF Hardcore Title Match.... Challenger... Enzio Beemish (invitee) vs. Johnny Stamboli It was Stamboli's first defense of the Hardcore title and he ran into the mobile mammoth known as Enzio Beemish, a star from the old M.O.W. Beemish surprised Stamboli with his wrestling ability but the Bull was able to get in a kick to the groin followed by a DDT that put the near 400 pounder on the mat. He then grabbed the nightstick he's been carrying around and smacked him with it before dropping him with the "Forget about it". Stamboli didn't hit all of it but definitely showed some strength and it was enough for the win. Sean O'haire vs. Rick Clark This was a tremendous back and forth match in which Clark gave the veteran O'haire fits. But after ducking a clothesline, O'haire blanked him with a spinning martial arts kick to get the victory. Mark Jindrak vs. Aries Another very competitive Uprising bout, Aries tried relentlessly to choke out the young up and comer Jindrak but Jindrak had done his homework on the God of War and after pasting him with his unbelievable dropkick, he went to the top rope for a flying clothesline that looked like it was enough. But Aries kicked out. After reversing an irish whip, Aries went for a backbody drop but Jindrak latched on and turned it into a sunset flip and before Aries could adjust, he was down for 3. JINDRAK SLAPPED HANDS WITH SOME EXCITED FANS AT RINGSIDE AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. PRIMETIME GOES LIVE
AS PRIMETIME TAKES THE AIR, REPLAYS ARE SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF THE ATTACK ORCHESTRATED BY "BEAUTY IN WRESTLING" ON TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH STRATUS. PRIMETIME's MONTAGE VIDEO ROLLS WITH "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYING. Michael Cole: "Spring is in the air and we are in beautiful Orlando, Florida at the TD Waterhouse Arena and Jesse, another huge show planned tonight"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP CONTAINING MR. VAIN POSING WITH DAWN MARIE. Jesse Ventura: "Right you are Michael and among all the action tonight, Mr. Vain will debut tonight along with the lovely Dawn Marie"! TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Cole: "Mr. Vain and Dawn Marie were both recruited if you will by Rick Martel who is hellbent on destroying Wakeman's career, one way or another"! Ventura: "I've seen Mr. Vain on some of the M.O.W. tapes that are now in the TWF video library and I gotta tell ya Cole, this guy might be able to get the job done"! A REPLAY IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF TAJIRI MISTING JON HEIDENREICH. Cole: "Well there you saw what Tajiri did last week to Jon Heidenreich and tonight, he might have to pay for it but let's face it, that was all encouraged by that louse Sean O'haire"! JON HEIDENREICH's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD CHEER. Ventura: "Louse? You better watch what you say Cole". Cole: "I just don't know what his problem is. I mean, first he totally changes the attitude and persona of Essa Rios to his liking, all because the guy needed someone to help him with his english and now, he's after Tajiri"! Ventura: "Well Tajiri doesn't have the best english skills either but he is a huge talent in that ring! We've seen how Rios has benefitted from having O'haire guide him and Tajiri could benefit in the same way. Don't shake your head Cole... like it or not, that's fact"! Cole: "Well let's see how Tajiri does tonight! Let's see how he benefits from misting this three hundred pound former football player"! Tajiri vs. Jon Heidenreich Heidenreich angrily charged Tajiri but the Japanese Buzzsaw was ready for that, ducking his lunge and putting several kicks on him. Tajiri's kicks had so much behind them that he began to break Heidenreich down, limb by limb. Heidenreich finally caught his foot and pushed him to the mat but went for an elbow drop which was way off the mark. Tajiri then got up and measured him for some more kicks to the body. Tajiri then waited for him to get up and he went for a whip to the corner but Heidenreich reversed it and caught him with a boot to the face. Heidenreich followed that with a big drop suplex and Tajiri rose his back off the mat in pain. Off an irish whip, Heidenreich lifted Tajiri into the air with a backdrop and pumped his fists, feeling the adrenaline rush. But after ducking a clothesline, Tajiri folded him up with a kick to the midsection followed by one to the face. Heidenreich fell down like a ton of bricks as Tajiri hit a standing moonsault into a pin for the 1......2......, but that was all. After a couple more kicks to the ribs, Tajiri hit a low dropkick. Heidenreich tried to shake it off as Tajiri signaled for the mist. But when Heidenreich saw this, he sanpped, getting up and bulldozing Tajiri with a football style block. He then whipped him to the ropes, catching him and planting him with a scrapbuster slam to get 1.........2........3. Match Time: 7:07 Cole: "Oh wow... Heidenreich has brought an abrupt end to this thing". Ventura: "He has a long way to go Cole, but he looked good in that victory"! AS HEIDENREICH's MUSIC PLAYED, HE WALKED TO THE BACK TO A GOOD CHEER, RAISING ONE ARM IN THE AIR. Cole: "I was interested to see how Heidenreich would handle things without his mentor Animal but so far so good"! Ventura: "Yeah, until he runs into Batista and Orton again.... remember last week"? BACKSTAGE..... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE..... SHANE IS SITTING IN HIS OFFICE, FEET UP ON THE DESK AND TALKING ON THE PHONE WHEN RANDY ORTON ENTERS. Shane McMahon: "I'm gonna have to call you back.... okay, bye. HE HANGS UP. Randy, what can I....... Randy Orton: "Did you see what happened to me last week? That freak Nails got involved in our match and now all I hear is.... well that's the only reason you pinned RVD! I'm tired of crap like that Shane! Batista and I had no knowledge of that and he has no business sticking his nose where it doesn't belong"! Shane: "Hmmm, it doesn't seem like we have this problem if Batista interferes in your match, or Flair or Sable for that matter". Orton: (gets down close to Shane's face) "Shane, I am a third generation superstar. I am the blue chipper. I am the man that is going to take PrimeTime to the top of the wrestling world for years to come. And now, I own a pinfall victory over Mr. Universal champ. I don't need help to win but what I do need is a shot at that title". Shane: "Ya know Randy, you do make a good point. SHANE IS STILL TALKING, TELLING ORTON THAT HE'LL "MULL IT OVER" BUT ORTON HAS BECOME DISTRACTED BY THE SIGHT OF NAILS ARRIVING ON THE MONITOR IN THE OFFICE. ORTON STORMS OUT AS THE SHOT FADES. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR SPRITE FEATURING LEBRON JAMES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TACO BELL.... THINK OUTSIDE THE BUN! RETURN FROM BREAK... RINGSIDE..... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, "HELL's GUARDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT IS PLAYING AND NAILS IS IN THE RING. Cole: "We are back on PrimeTime and now maybe we'll get some answers Jesse... answers from this man"! Ventura: "Well I'm glad his has a microphone. I wasn't gonna conduct the interview"! Nails: "I can't get the words out of my head. We are the cancer of PrimeTime! Well, I'll get to that in a minute. But to all you scumbags out there that think I was traded to PrimeTime because I wanna be the Hardcore champion, well, you're dead wrong. Let's not forget, I'm more hardcore than any man on the face of this planet. But here on PrimeTime... I have higher aspirations. That brings me to you Rob Van Dam. You and I don't have a damn thing in common. But you have what I want and that is the Universal title. So Rob, I know I got under your skin getting involved in your match last week but trust me, I can do a lot more than that if you don't accept my challenge. Now, Batista, Randy Orton.... I'm no friend of yours either. You guys call yourselves the cancer of PrimeTime. Well, that may be... until I showed up! NAILS PEERS DIRECTLY INTO THE CAMERA THROUGH HIS HOCKEY MASK. I am warning you.... don't get in my way or I will unleash a fury that has never been seen before"! "HELL's GAURDIAN" PLAYS AGAIN AND NAILS DROPS THE MIC. Cole: "Did you see that?! You can't even see this man's eyes"! Ventura: "Nails is perhaps the most mysterious man in TWF history but he just left a very straight to the point message"! Cole: "A warning, a warning to not only the Universal champion Rob Van Dam.... but Batista and Randy Orton as well"! BACKSTAGE..... JOHNNY STAMBOLI IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE, SMOKING A CIGAR WHEN RAVEN COMES UP. Raven: "Hmm, I got you alone". Johnny Stamboli: "Yeah, Guido is getting ready to go out there and kick Frankie's ass. What do you need"? Raven: "That belt you got in your dressing room.... that's what I need. See Johnny, you've been an okay champion so far.... but you haven't faced me yet". Stamboli: "You want a shot... you got one. Next week, bring that shopping cart of yours and I'll show you all about hardcore... FBI style". RAVEN STARTS TO LAUGH AND WALKS AWAY. STAMBOLI PUTS HIS CIGAR OUT AND WALKS THE OTHER WAY BUT WHEN HE TURNS THE CORNER, FRANKIE KAZARIAN DRILLS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK, KNOCKING HIM FLAT ON HIS BACK. KAZARIAN THEN LOOKS BOTH WAYS AND WALKS OFF. BACK AT RINGSIDE, LOW-KI IS IN THE RING AND THE CHOSEN's MUSIC IS PLAYING. Ventura: "Now that was a cheap shot"! Cole: "And what the FBI did to Kazarian last week wasn't? Later tonight, Kazarian will face Guido Maritato and have a chance for a two for one deal to get back as his former friends, and I use that term loosely, for what they did last week"! THE MUSIC OF THE DARK PRINCE HITS AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT AS THE GRIM MESSAGE THAT ALWAYS ACCOMPANIES HIM IS HEARD. Ventura: "Where'd the lights go"? WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, THE DARK PRINCE IS IN THE RING, BEHIND LOW-KI. Cole: "Oh look at this"! WHEN LOW-KI TURNS AROUND, THE PRINCE POPS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND AND THE BELL RINGS. The Dark Prince vs. Low-Ki Referee Mike Enos tried to pull the Prince away to give Low-Ki some room to recover but the Prince was unstable, almost in a rage. He kicked Low-Ki into the corner and smashed him with some haymakers across the head as Enos pulled him out of the corner. The Prince threw Enos off, risking a DQ but when he went back at Low-Ki, he was pasted with a savat kick. Low-Ki then shook off the pain and belted The Prince with some stiff kicks to the body. Low-Ki pulled him up and kicked him in the right arm, a move that would hinder The Prince for the rest of the match. Low-Ki pulled the arm over the top rope and then kicked it again. The Prince fell to one knee in extreme pain but Low-Ki was relentless, kicking him in the side of the head. He went for the cover and got 1......2......, but that was all. Low-Ki then decided to go for the kill, hitting a beatiful northern lights suplex that nearly got a 3 count. He then went to the top turnbuckle, preying on The Prince and he jumped off. But the Prince reversed the tide by catching him and slamming him to the mat with a spinebuster. Both men were down but the Prince got to his feet first and yelled for Low-Ki to get up. When he did, he kicked him in the gut and hit a move similar to the Test Drive. He hooked the leg and got 1....2....., but Low-Ki was up. The Prince whipped him to the ropes but put his head down too soon and Low-Ki made him pay, first with a kick to the chest and then a spinning roundhouse that caught him in the temple. Low-Ki whipped him to the corner and went for his cartwheel spin kick but The Beast moved and then hit the ropes, running over Low-Ki with a boot to the face. Just then, the Intercontinental champion Shane Thompson came running to the ring as The Prince scooped Low-Ki up and dropped him with the "Vengeance", hooking the leg for the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 6:38 IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE PRINCE CHALLENGED THOMPSON TO GET INTO THE RING. Cole: "What a win for The Dark Prince who is hellbent on returning the favor to The Chosen after they nearly ended his career back in January"! Ventura: "Come on Prince, Thompson is a smart man! He's not gonna get in there with you"! THOMPSON HELPED LOW-KI UP THE RAMP AS THE DARK PRINCE's MUSIC PLAYED. Cole: "Smart man or scared man? Seems to me that The Chosen is falling apart without the Fallen Angel"! Ventura: "Not having Daniels is a major blow to them Cole but you watch, Thompson is gonna right this ship"! A VOICE SAYS "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" AS A VIDEO PACKAGE STARTS UP. IT SHOWS HIGHLIGHTS OF OLD TWF ACTION FEATURING EDGE AS ROB ZOMBIE's "NEVER GONNA STOP" PLAYS. THE VOICE THEN SAYS "YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ME". EDGE RETURNS....... COMING SOON TO PRIMETIME. BACKSTAGE AREA..... THE MAKE-UP LADY COMES OUT OF A DRESSING ROOM THAT SAYS "MR. VAIN" ON THE DOOR. Make-up lady: "I'll be right back, I just don't have that shade with me right now". SHE WALKS AWAY AND THE CAMERA SHOWS TRISH STRATUS COME UP WEARING A LOW CUT SHIRT AND A BLACK MINI-SKIRT. SHE GOES TO THE DOOR AND OPENS IT, SHOWING MR. VAIN INSIDE TAKING A BUBBLE BATH. Mr. Vain: "That was quick. HE OPENS HIS EYES TO SEE TRISH IN THE ROOM. What? What are you doing"? Trish Stratus: "Oh don't worry, I'm only here because I have heard a lot about you and I had to see you for myself". TRISH WALKS TO THE FOOT OF THE TUB AND LEANS OVER, GETTING A BIG SMILE OUT OF MR. VAIN. Mr. Vain: "So, what have you heard? Mostly good I hope. Like, the fact that I once won a Mr. Galaxy contest". Trish: "Oh yeah, yeah I heard all about that. Could you uh, could you help me with this"? MR. VAIN REACHES AROUND AND UNZIPS TRISH's SHIRT, EXPOSING A BLACK BRA. Mr. Vain: "Wow"! TRISH ALSO HAS A PIECE OF PAPER LATCHED UNDER HER BRA STRAP. Trish: "Now can you do me a favor? I just need your signature on this piece of paper and then, I'll let you have your way with me". SHE HANDS IT AND A PEN TO HIM. Mr. Vain: "Whatever you want. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist me". MR. VAIN GETS THE PAPER A LITTLE WET BUT SIGNS IT. Trish: "Thanks, that's all I needed". Mr. Vain: "Wait a minute, where are you going? I thought I was gonna get to..... Trish: "Get to what? You'll get to do something, (she holds up the piece of paper) but not what you were thinking". TRISH WALKS OUT, LEAVING HER SHIRT ON THE FLOOR. Mr. Vain: "Wait a minute! Close the damn door"! BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, ESSA RIOS, JAMIE NOBLE AND AKIO ARE ALL SHOWN IN THE RING. Ventura: "Wait a minute! What did she just have him sign"?! Cole: "Well he might be a former Mister Galaxy, but be probably wasn't class valedictorian"! "619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS OUT FROM UNDER THE ENTRY WAY TO A HUGE POP. Ventura: "That was low... that was low what Trish just did! Taking advantage of a man like that"! Cole: "I'm not even gonna go there other than to say he deserved it! But right now, we've got four of the best lightheavyweights in the world ready to compete for the number one contendership for the Lightheavyweight title"! Ventura: "This is a fatal four way, sudden death style"! Cole: "The first man to get a decision wins and hell, who wouldn't like to see another Mysterio-Ultimo Dragon match"?! Ventura: "Well I for one think Essa Rios is the best competitor in that ring and I am predicting that he will walk out the winner tonight". Sudden Death Fatal Four Way/#1 Contender for TWF Lightheavyweight Title Essa Rios vs. Jamie Noble vs. Akio vs. Rey Mysterio As the bell sounded, Rios went at Akio and Noble traded shots with Mysterio. After hip tossing Mysterio right into the corner, Noble took Akio out from behind with a chopblock. Rios caught Noble with a dropkick but when he went for his circus style arm drag, Noble countered by kicking the ring ropes, throwing off his balance and knocking him out of the ring. Noble then went and put the "Trailer Hitch" on Akio but Mysterio came with a low dropkick to break it up. Mysterio then whipped Noble to the ropes and nailed him with a wheel kick but when he turned around, Akio was waiting with an enziguri. He went for the cover and got 1.....2....., but Rios came from outside to break it up. He and Akio then mixed it up and Rios whipped Akio right into a double flapjack by Mysterio and Noble. Noble then grabbed Rey and whipped him to the ropes but when he put his head down too soon, Rey wowwed the crowd with a sunset flip into a powerbomb to get 1........2......., but Rios broke it up with a running kick. Rios then suplexed Mysterio but Akio came from behind with a german suplex that nearly got the pin. Noble came over with an inverted atomic drop on Rios but Akio dropkicked Noble in the back, knocking him to the floor. Akio then got down, yelling at Noble but that turned out to be a mistake as Rey turned that right into the 6-1-9. Rey then put 1 finger in the air, calling for the "West Coast Pop" but Noble grabbed his foot and pulled him off the apron, landing right on him and both men were down. In the ring, Rios capitalized by going to the top rope and coming off with a ridiculously nice moonsault, landing it with perfection on Akio to get 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 12:50 Ventura: "He got him! What did I tell you Cole"?! Cole: "Essa Rios has won this thing to become the number one contender and yes, you were right Jesse". RIOS WALKED AWAY TO SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC AS THE CROWD BOOED. Ventura: "Admit it Cole, without Sean O'haire's guidance, Essa Rios would never be where he is! O'haire has worked wonders for this man who was a fledgling star at best and now..... Cole: "Alright, alright! It's been a successful career choice for Rios but is he a better man for it? That's where I draw the line"! THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR COORS LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NBA PLAYOFFS. RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, RANDY ORTON IS SHOWN TALKING EXCITEDLY TO BATISTA IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. Randy Orton: "This is great man, Shane has given you a match with RVD tonight"? Batista: "Yes". Orton: "Dave, do you realize what this means? Shane is gonna give me the shot at RVD at Foul Play and tonight, you can destroy him, pick him apart for me"! BATISTA LAUGHS AND ORTON SLAPS HIM ON THE CHEST. JUST THEN, NAILS COMES UP AND GETS RIGHT IN ORTON's FACE. Nails: "I hate pretty boys like you". NAILS WALKS RIGHT PAST BOTH MEN AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. IN THE RING, THE FBI's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND GUIDO MARITATO IS INSIDE, AWAITING HIS OPPONENT. Cole: "It looks to me like Randy Orton has more of a problem than he thinks Jesse". Ventura: "Well I don't know what Nails is trying to prove. He is the new guy in town. Orton has already proven himself and it's a no brainer, Shane is gonna give Orton the shot at RVD at Foul Play". FRANKIE KAZARIAN's NEW MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, STILL A LOT OF BOOS. Cole: "Well we found out that RVD will face Batista tonight and I have just been informed that that will be a non-title match. But right now, we got former teammates about to butt heads"! Ventura: "They're only former teammates because Guido and Johnny Stamboli made the concerted decision that this guy wasn't pulling his weight". Cole: "Well we saw what Kazarian did to get back at Stamboli and as I referred to earlier, he can kill two birds with one stone if he can defeat Guido here"! Guido Maritato vs. Frankie Kazarian This battle of former stable mates turned out to be the match of the night. They locked up in a collar and elbow tie and the bigger Kazarian whipped Guido to the mat with an armdrag before just slapping him in the back of the head. Guido popped up with an angry look on his face and threw a right hand. But Kazarian blocked it and came back with one of his own before whipping him to the rope and catching him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Kazarian pulled Guido up and sent him to the corner. He charged in but Guido stuck an elbow in his face and came off the middle turnbuckle with 2 feet to the face. Guido made the cover but Kazarian powered out after a count of 2. Guido stayed on him with some hard shots to the back before showing some of his amatuer background, wrestling Kazarian on the mat. Off an irish whip, Guido tried to leapfrog Kazarian but was caught in mid air and dumped with a half powerslam. Kazarian then stalked him and when he got up, he drilled him with a superkick. Guido was seeing stars but pulled himself up using the top rope. Kazarian moved in and went for the "Wave of the Future" but Guido countered it by holding onto the top rope and pushing Kazarian back. Kazarian charged in but Guido used a lowbridge and Kazarian went flailing over the top rope. As Guido had referee Mike Chioda distracted, out came Johnny Stamboli to return the favor for Kazarian's earlier attack, getting in a shot with his Hardcore title belt. He then rolled Kazarian into the ring and put up his hands as Chioda looked at him as if to say "I didn't do anything". Guido then hit the Sicilian Slice on Kazarian and hooked the leg for the victory. Match Time: 9:26 Cole: "Ah come on! Frankie Kazarian was in complete control of this match and to lose like that is just..... Ventura: "All that matters is whose hand is raised at the end Cole and was I seeing things, or did Kazarian attack Stamboli without cause earlier tonight"? Cole: "Without cause?! These two destroyed someone who was supposed to be their teammate just last week"! THE CAMERA SHOWS GUIDO AND STAMBOLI WALKING AWAY AS KAZARIAN TRIES TO GET UP IN THE RING. Ventura: "Some Italians do worse Michael, he should be happy that's all he got"! BACKSTAGE.... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW IDALIS STANDING WITH RENE DUPREE, WHO IS ADORN IN A LONG DARK BLUE CAPE BEARING THE FRENCH FLAG AND A BLACK BERET. Idalis: "Rene Dupree, last week, you made your PrimeTime debut with a win over Mark Jindrak. Now, even though that win may not have been clean, how do.... Rene Dupree: "Shut up! Shut up about Mark Jindrak or any other Americans for that matter. Now, was I seeing things, or did I see that Edge is going to be coming to my show, PrimeTime"? Idalis: "Yes, that's right, Edge will be back here in the TWF, on PrimeTime". THE FANS INSIDE THE ARENA LOUDLY CHEER. Dupree: "Well you give him a message when he arrives. I am not about to let some long, blonde haired American punk come in here and steal my thunder, especially one who was a failure his first time around. Now, if you'll excuse me". DUPREE WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT SWITCHES TO ANOTHER AREA BACKSTAGE. THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER AT THE SIGHT OF THE DYNAMIC DUO, WHO ARE BACK ON PRIMETIME FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PRIMETIME POWERBALL. JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES UP. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey guys, good to see you back". Hurricane: "Citizen Rockwell, did you really think we were gonna let Axl Irvin walk around calling himself the Superhero Killer? Cyclone and I heard that and we were like.... what's up with that"? Rockwell: "Well in any case, I promised you guys a rematch for these titles so maybe next week, Rhyno and I can give you that"? JUST THEN, THE LAUGH OF TED DIBIASE IS HEARD FROM DOWN THE HALLWAY AND HE WALKS UP TO THE 3 MEN. Ted Dibiase: "Sorry Rockwell, but your generous partner already agreed to give my boys Conway and Dinsmore a title shot... right here next week". DIBIASE CRACKS A LAUGH AGAIN AND WALKS AWAY AS ROCKWELL LOOKS EXTREMELY CONFUSED. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, DYLAN JANSENS IS SHOWN COMING TO THE RING AS "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK PLAYS. HE GETS IN AND RAISES HIS ARMS TO A GOOD POP. Cole: "It's good to see the Dynamic Duo back but did we just hear that right? Rhyno has agreed to a title match with the Million Dollar Team"? "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" HITS AND THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN LEADS ROB CONWAY TO THE RING. THEY ARE FLANKED BY NICK DINSMORE. Ventura: "Apparently Cole and I gotta say, at least he can find the team that deserves the shot. Conway and Dinsmore have more than earned their chance, they're a great team with a great manager"! Cole: "They may be, but this is gonna be a one on one match in which Jansens will be looking for some revenge after the gang attack he suffered last week at the hands of the Million Dollar Corporation so I don't see why Conway has to have Dibiase and Dinsmore with him". Ventura: "Well unlike Dylan Jansens, Rob Conway does have friends and they're out here for moral support. Besides, Dibiase has every right to be out here with his client". Cole: "Let's just hope Jansens keeps an eye over his shoulder throughout". Rob Conway w/ Ted Dibiase and Nick Dinsmore vs. Dylan Jansens As the bell sounded, Jansens circled Conway while keeping an eye on those outside the ring. But with a little distraction from Dinsmore, Jansens turned his back and Conway attacked him from behind with a forearm to the back. He then used the middle rope to choke Jansens, using all of referee Charles Robinson's 5 count. As Robinson pulled Conway away, Dinsmore got in a few cheap shots on Jansens. Conway then moved in and pulled him up for a delay suplex. After all the blood rushed to his head, Jansens took a hard spill. Conway then got up and rubbed his fingers, the universal sign for money, drawing a ton of boos. Conway pulled Jansens up and really opened up on him, attacking his midsection with some hard rights. But chants of "D.J." filled the arena, keeping Jansens in it. And after ducking a clothesline following an irish whip, Jansens scored with a flying forearm. After a nip up, he delivered an inverted atomic drop followed by a cactus clothesline. Looking to put Conway away, Jansens locked in the "Dragon Stretch" and Conway started to tap out but Dibiase was on the apron in Robinson's face. Jansens saw this and released the hold in order to knock Dibiase off the apron with a right hand. Meanwhile, Dinsmore got on the apron with a pair of brass knucks in hand but Jordan Rockwell came out to even things up a little. He pulled Dinsmore down and caught him with a right hand. He then grabbed the brass knucks and threw them into the ring, where Jansens grabbed them. Dibiase tried to go after Rockwell but Robinson jumped out of the ring and got in between them. In the ring, Jansens blocked a right hand from Conway and cold cocked him with a loaded fist. He then slid the knucks outside the ring and covered Conway as Robinson came back in to make the 3 count. Match Time: 5:57 Ventura: "What?! He cheated Cole"! Cole: "And if Conway would've used those as intended, then what"? Ventura: "This is ridiculous! Jansens should be fined and suspended for that"! JANSENS AND ROCKWELL WALK UP THE RAMP TO A HUGE CHEER AS "OVER MY HEAD" PLAYS. IN THE RING, DIBIASE LOOKS AT BOTH MEN WITH A VINDICTIVE STARE AS CONWAY IS HELPED TO HIS FEET BY DINSMORE. Cole: "Well according to you... Jansens has no friends! It looks like he's found at least one in Jordan Rockwell"! THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR DRAKENGAURD FOR PS2 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR "AMERICA's MOST WANTED". RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... AS RAW RETURNS, DAWN MARIE, SHOWN IN A SKIMPY BLACK DRESS, IS STYLING THE HAIR OF MR. VAIN WHO IS WATCHING IN A SMALL MIRROR. Dawn Marie: "In just a few moments... the world is going to see just how good you really are". MR. VAIN JUST GRINS AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INTO THE ARENA. "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" IS PLAYING AND AXL IRVIN IS IN THE RING IN STREET CLOTHES. Cole: "Call me weird, but how nice do you have to look to come out here and wrestle"? Ventura: "Apparently you aren't too familiar with Mr. Vain Michael. This man is a former Mr. Canada and Mr. Galaxy. He's also competed in body building pageants across the world". Cole: "Well this isn't a beauty contest tonight! Ya know, nevermind"! AXL IRVIN HOLDS UP A PICTURE OF KID GUNDAM. Axl Irvin: "Last week, the Superhero Killer struck again. Except this time, I took out one of the most successful superstars this company has seen. Kid Gundam's career is over and it's all because of me"! Cole: "What the hell is this guy doing"? Irvin: "So from now on... I want to be known simply as Axl Irvin, career killer. Because from this point...... JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "STAND BACK... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD. Ventura: "What the hell"?! WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, CYCLONE IS IN THE RING STANDING IN FRONT OF IRVIN AND HE GIVES HIM A THUMBS UP SIGN BEFORE POINTING BEHIND HIM, WHERE THE HURRICANE IS. IRVIN THROWS A PUNCH BUT HURRICANE BLOCKS IT AND NAILS HIM WITH 3 OF HIS OWN BEFORE WHIPPING HIM TO THE ROPES. CYCLONE SCOOPS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND SPINS HIM RIGHT INTO A SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY THE HURRICANE. THE FANS GO WILD AS BOTH MEN COMBINE TO DELIVER A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM ON IRVIN. THEIR MUSIC THEN HITS AND THE SUPERHERO TANDEM LEAVES TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "He's a what? A career killer? It looks to me like the Dynamic Duo have returned to their evil killing careers and they've done so with a bang"! Ventura: "These two mask wearing punks better know what they're doing Cole! They may have just opened a bad can of worms"! Cole: "Well folks, Axl Irvin may want to take responsibility for Kid Gundam's recent downward spiral, but the truth is, he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his career is most likely over. Doctors are working around the clock to treat the illness and we want to wish he and his family the best in this tough time". Ventura: "It's a very tragic story Cole but no one should forget what Gundam did for this company"! Cole: "No matter how you remember Kid Gundam, good or bad, there's no doubt he made a lasting impression". "MY SACRIFICE" BY CREED PLAYS ON A TRIBUTE VIDEO THAT CHRONICLES THE CAREER OF KID GUNDAM. FROM HIS DEBUT MATCH AGAINST WEAPON R ALL THE WAY UP TO HIS ILL FATED MATCH WITH AXL IRVIN. IN BETWEEN, IT SHOWS SUCH CAREER HIGHLIGHTS SUCH AS HIS LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE WINS, FORMING THE GROUPS EXTREME JAPAN 2000 AND KYO DAI AS WELL AS HIS INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE WIN OVER CHRIS TIRPAK. AT THE END OF THE VIDEO IS A PICTURE OF GUNDAM WITH THE MESSAGE "TWF FOREVER". BACK TO LIVE ACTION, A MAN IN A GREEN MASK IS IN THE RING, WALKING AROUND ANXIOUSLY. Cole: "What a great video". Ventura: "Yes it was, now why don't you tell us about this chump in the ring"? RICK MARTEL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH DAWN MARIE AND MR. VAIN. THEY ARE NOT RECEIVED VERY WELL BY THE CROWD. Cole: "Well this chump, as you call him, is a very accomplished superstar from the M.O.W. known as Fuego Llama, Sr. But he is gonna have his hands full with another former M.O.W. star, one the TWF now has under contract, Mr. Vain". Ventura: "They call themselves Beauty in Wrestling Michael and I truly believe Martel has hit the jackpot on this one. This is Travis Wakeman and Trish's biggest nightmare". Cole: "Well let's not forget about the piece of paper the sexy siren Trish got this brainiac Mr. Vain to sign earlier tonight. We still have yet to find out what that was but I have been told that we are gonna have some big news regarding Foul Play right after this match"! Ventura: "I've been looking forward to seeing this guy in action since last week Cole and from what I've heard, Fuego Llama doesn't have much of a chance"! Mr. Vain w/ Rick Martel and Dawn Marie vs. Fuego Llama, Sr. (invitee) Llama came right at Mr. Vain, catching him with 3 quick jabs and a headbutt. But unfortunately for him, that was about all the offense he could muster. After reversing an irish whip, Vain clipped him with a clothesline by showing off his immense strength, lifting Llama onto his shoulder for a running powerslam. Vain then scooped him up again and dropped him on the top turnpad with the snake eyes before delivering a reverse DDT. With Llama down, Vain locked in his controversial finisher, the "Beauty Sleep" and seconds later, referee Brian Hebner raised his arm and watched it fall before asking for the bell. Match Time: 2:31 Ventura: "Hit the showers Fuego... that'll wake you up"! Cole: "That's a damn choke! Jesse I talked to a few former M.O.W. officials this past week and they all agreed that that move, which Mr. Vain calls the Beauty Sleep, is an illegal choke"! RICK MARTEL, DAWN MARIE AND MR. VAIN DO A LITTLE POSING IN THE RING BUT ARE BEING LOUDLY BOOED AS THEIR MUSIC PLAYS. Ventura: "Then why didn't Brian Hebner see it that way? He's an accomplished referee! Travis Wakeman.... I hope you're watching and trying to figure out what you're gonna do because this man may be the one to finally end your legacy"! Cole: "Well Jesse, I mentioned that we would have news on Foul Play and I have just been handed a card full of matches that Shane McMahon has just made... so let's roll it"! PROMO SCREENS FOR EACH MATCH ARE SHOWN CONTAINING THE FOUL PLAY LOGO AS THE THEME MUSIC FOR FOUL PLAY STRIKES UP. Ventura: "Essa Rios became the number one contender for the Lightheavyweight title tonight and at Foul Play, he will battle The Ultimo Dragon for the title"! Cole: "That is a rematch from the Royal Rumble but take a look at this title match! Shane Thompson, the assumed leader of The Chosen, will defend his Intercontinental title against the man he helped take out of action just a few months ago.... The Dark Prince"! Ventura: "That's a great match Cole and the Hardcore title will also be on the line when Johnny Stamboli defends against former FBI member Frankie Kazarian"! Cole: "And we've also found out that the paper Mr. Vain signed basically put he and Dawn Marie in a mixed gender tag team match with Travis Wakeman and Trish Stratus... good work Trish"! Ventura: "Ya sure about that? Well here's the big news Michael, apparently Shane McMahon couldn't make a decision on just one superstar to face RVD for the Universal title.... so he has signed a triple threat match! It's gonna be Randy Orton versus Nails versus Rob Van Dam"! JUST THEN, BATISTA's MUSIC PLAYS AND SABLE COMES OUT IN A BLACK LEATHER OUTFIT, LEADING THE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE POUNDER TO THE RING. Cole: "Mr. Pay-per-view is gonna be challenged in a big way at Foul Play but that's not too much different than tonight.... here comes the monster Batista"! Ventura: "This is a little different though Cole. The title is not on the line and Batista has one objective tonight, to make Randy Orton's chances of becoming champion that much better"! "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND FIREWORKS POP OFF AS ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO A BIG REACTION, THE BIGGEST ALL NIGHT. HE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "Yeah but now, he may inadvertently be helping Nails who has gotten a spot in that triple threat"! Ventura: "Either way, I don't think it's at all possible that RVD will walk out of Foul Play with that belt"! Cole: "Oh watch out"! RIGHT WHEN RVD GETS INTO THE RING, BATISTA ATTACKS HIM WITH A SWINGING RIGHT HAND. Non-Title Match Batista w/ Sable vs. Universal Champ Rob Van Dam RVD was in a huge hole early, trying to recover from the surprise attack. He tried to fight back but his punches did nothing to the abdominal area of Batista. Batista worked on the back of the champion, slapping on a bear hug. RVD, already seeming worn out, tried like heck to fight it off. Finally, he used 2 ear claps to break the hold and then hit the ropes. He somersaulted under a clothesline and drilled Batista with a jump kick on the jaw. He then whipped him to the corner and followed in for a monkey flip but Batista caught him, walked out and put him down with a spinebuster. After a gorilla press slam, Randy Orton and Ric Flair made their way out, each holding a folding chair. They set the chairs up at ringside and sat down, in order to observe the match. Batista continued to pound on RVD but things changed when Bahamut came out from the back. Flair got out of his chair but was met with a right hand by Bahamut. Orton got up as well but Bahamut kicked him right in the face. In the ring, referee Mike Chioda was smashed moments earlier by a Batista clothesline that RVD avoided. After slamming RVD with a sit out powerbomb, Batista got up and turned, just in time to eat a steel chair shot from Bahamut. The big man fell to the mat and Sable ran frantically around the ring but right into Bahamut. She fell to the floor to avoid him as RVD went to the top level and came off with the "Five Star Frogsplash". The impact affected him as well as Batista but he was able to roll on top of him as Chioda, still groggy, slowly made the 3 count. Match Time: 5:20 "ONE OF A KIND" HIT AGAIN AND RVD CELEBRATED AND NODDED HIS HEAD AT BAHAMUT, WHO BACKED UP THE RAMP WITH A GRIN ON HIS FACE, LOOKING AT THE CARNAGE HE HAD LEFT. Ventura: "Bahamut has just made the mistake of his life Cole! What is he thinking"?! Cole: "He has some unfinished business with Batista and Orton and he just upped the ante tonight"! OFF AIR......
