JAZZ' MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT WITH TEDDY LONG.

By the way, we're in Nashville tonight! That's as close to King country as it gets"!

"LOST MY MIND" BY T.A.T.U. HITS AND VICTORIA RECEIVES A NEGATIVE REACTION.

J.R.: "We all know they love ya down here King and in honor of you, we're startin' things off with a divas tag team match".

Lawler: "Oh thank you"!

J.R.: "This Victoria has been as hot as anyone on the female roster of late and she'll be teaming with Jazz who could easily be holding the Women's title tonight".

"GET THE PARTY STARTED" BY PINK PLAYS AND ALEX MIRAN COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST.

Lawler: "She easily could J.R., but this young lady got the best of her"!

J.R.: "Alex Miran's star continues to rise here in the TWF as you listen to the reaction for the Women's champ and King, she has yet to be defeated in singles action".

MIRAN STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAMP AND LOOKS OVER HER SHOULDER.

J.R.: "Well don't let the stunning looks intrigue you, this woman can get it done in between the ropes".

Lawler: "And probably in between the sheets"!

Victoria and Jazz w/ Teddy Long vs. Alexandria Miran and Gail Kim

As the bell sounded, Jazz and Miran locked up and it was the stronger Jazz who slammed Miran to the mat with a headlock takeover.But the athletic champion escaped using a headscissor and then ducked a clothesline before pasting Jazz with a quick kick to the gut. But Jazz blocked a vertical suplex attempt and countered it, dropping Miran over the top rope and making the tag to Victoria. Victoria came in and kept the pressure on. After a gorgeous snap suplex, she locked in a hammerlock, not allowing Miran to get to her corner. Miran worked her way up and with her free arm, she used a snap mare. But when she went for a heel kick, Victoria sidestepped it and whipped her to the mat by her hair. She then tagged in Jazz who stomped away at her lower back area before sending her hard into the corner with an irish whip. Jazz then went for her reverse double armbar drop but somehow, Miran rolled her up to get a near fall. Jazz came back with a clothesline before tagging Victoria back in. After delivering her modified around the world sidewalk slam, she hooked the leg but couldn't keep the gritty Miran down. The fans started to come alive in support of Miran as Victoria delivered a scoop slam and went out to the apron. But when she came in with her flip over legdrop, no one was home. Victoria tried to recover to prevent the tag but she couldn't. Miran made the tag to Kim who came in and lit the ring up. After sending Victoria right into Jazz with a flying headscissor, Kim caught her with a moonsault off the ring ropes. Then, she whipped her to the ropes and missed with a roundhouse but amazingly, she caught her with a reverse leapfrog into a hurricanrana in one of the best moves all year. She had the cover but Teddy Long had referee Mike Sparks distracted. All 4 women got into the ring after Kim made the tag and after Miran caught Jazz with a flapjack, her and Kim took Victoria to the floor with a double dropkick. Miran then got down on her hands and knees and acted as a launching pad for Kim who sailed onto Vicctoria with a front flip. But the buzz was soon killed when Miran turned right into an awaiting Jazz' arms and was hit with a DDT. Jazz made the cover and got the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:29

J.R.: "Well I'll be damned, I don't think Jazz was even the legal woman in the match"!

Lawler: "It doesn't matter now J.R., it goes down as a W in the win column"!

J.R.: "Well I believe that Jazz and Victoria were very fortunate to get this win and the world now knows what Gail Kim is capable of! Boy is this division heating up or what"?!

Lawler: "Oh yeah, I know I'm hot"!

JUST THEN, JONATHAN COACHMAN APPROACHES.

Jonathan Coachman: "Excuse me guys, mind if I take a minute of your team"?

Long: "What is it playa"?

Coachman: "Well Teddy, I was wondering if you might be able to let our viewers know what the heck a black man's challenge is".

Long: "First of all, Coach, I know we've been through this before, it's Brother Long, ya feel me? Now, I know the folks in Nashville won't be able to relate to a black man's challenge. But playas down over in southern los Angeles, over in the projects in New York and every other hood in the United States, knows what I mean. That's because they face a black man's challenge every day and the reason why Coach, is because the color of their skin. They have to fend for themselves on the streets, doin' what they can to get by. Now D'Lo, he's waiting for that punk ass Pyromania outside the building and we're gonna find out how long his white ass can survive, out there on the street".

LONG AND JAZZ WALK AWAY AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE AND TOMMY DREAMER's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

J.R.: "So there ya have it, the black man's challenge for the Toughman title is scheduled next but first, we got one hell of a grudge match here King".

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK WHEN TOMMY DREAMER ATTACKED BAHAMUT WITH HIS SINGAPORE CANE AFTER HE DEFEATED SABU.

Lawler: "Well I give Tommy Dreamer a lot of credit for coming out here cause there might not be anything left of him in a minute or two"!

"BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS.

J.R.: "I wouldn't count Dreamer out that easily King, he goes on guts and instinct. It was Bahamut who issued this challenge and Dreamer didn't hesitate to accept it"!

Lawler: "Well he might have guts but one things for sure, he doesn't have any brains".

Tommy Dreamer vs. Bahamut

As the bell sounded, Bahamut and Dreamer got face to face when Dreamer used a little trickery and pointed behind Bahamut towards the entrance. Bahamut turned to see nothing but it was the opening Dreamer needed and he unloaded on him with right hand after right hand. Bahamut reversed an irish whip but Dreamer ducked the clothesline and exploded off the other side with a flying forearm. He then got a running start and drilled him with a knee lift before a nice float over russian leg sweep into a cover that got a near fall. Startled by the furious attack, Bahamut rolled outside the ring to catch a breather. But Dreamer stomped on his fingers. this enraged Bahamut but it seemed as though that was Dreamer's plan. After 4 hard knifedge chops, Dreamer went to the middle turnbuckle and came off but Bahamut caught him in mid air and drove him into the mat with a spinebuster. Bahamut then applied a blatant choke, using all of referee Jim Korderas' 5 count. Bahamut then lifted Dreamer onto his back by his chin and delivered a wicked airplane spin necknbreaker. He covered him but Dreamer reached down deep and kicked out at 2. Then, the match changed drastically when Dreamer dodged Bahamut after being whipped to the corner and he posted his right shoulder. Dreamer then hit an armbar ddt and stayed on the right arm. After planting him with a DDT, Dreamer went for the cover but at the last possible moment, Bahamut kicked out. Moments later, Dreamer caught a kick to the gut after bouncing off the ropes and Bahamut delivered a high impact gutwrench into a powerbomb and hooked both legs for the victory.

Match Time: 7:00

J.R.: "Oh what a match, that was a great match King and Dreamer nearly pulled it off"!

Lawler: "Well nearly doesn't do him any good and I hope he's learned a lesson from this, wait a minute, he's not done"!

WITH DREAMER OUT OF IT, BAHAMUT ENTERED THE RING AGAIN AND PULLED HIM UP BEFORE HITTING "WHAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF".

J.R.: "Oh for God sake, that's ridiculous! You won the match, now get the hell out of here"!

Lawler: "Like I said J.R., it's all about teaching someone a lesson and that's exactly what Bahamut has done".

OUTSIDE THE ARENA....

CAMERAS OUTSIDE SHOW AUSTIN PYROMANIA WALKING AROUND THE HUGE BUILDING.

J.R.: "Well there you see the Toughman champion Austin Pyromania who's already been in one fight tonight as you see the knot on his head but now it's time for another".

Lawler: "This is it, this is the black man challenge"!

JUST THEN, PYROMANIA IS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY D'LO WHO BREAKS A 2x4 OVER HIS BACK.

J.R.: "Oh what a shot! What a shot and I guess this is underway"!

TWF Toughman Title/Black Man challenge

Challenger... D'Lo Brown vs. Austin Pyromania

D'Lo was all over Pyromania, gaining the advantage he needed with the 2x4. Referee Chad Patton followed the action to make 10 counts or count submissions and he watched as D'Lo rammed Pyromania into the wall. He tried to overturn a bike rack but it was too heavy and Pyromania recovered and caught him with a spinning heel kick. A young kid was standing not too far away with a skateboard and Pyromania asked him for it. He took a swing at D'Lo with the skateboard but missed and D'Lo pushed him into the arena doors. D'Lo then drug him inside and threw him hard into the metal door to the parking garage. He then saw a forklift and jumped in but when he turned the key, it didn't start. Pyromania then came and pulled him out and delivered a series of hard right hands before backdropping him right on the concrete floor. Both men were spent as Pyromania picked up a clipboard but D'Lo made a football like tackle and drove him into a parked car. D'Lo then opened the door and popped the truck where he found a tire iron. When Pyromania got up, D'Lo drove it into his gut and then right into his head, busting him open. D'Lo walked off as if he was the victor but Patton could only reach a 9 count and, using the handle on the back door of the vehicle, Pyromania pulled himself up. D'Lo again went to the midsection with the tire iron before grabbing him by the hair and pulling him through the curtain and into the arena. Pyromania was loosing blood at a fast rate but after brushing D'Lo's arms out, he kicked the tire iron right out of his hands. D'Lo fired back with a clothesline that knocked him into the crowd. D'Lo then raised his arms and screamed "You better recognize"! which drew a lot of boos. But suddenly, Pyromania was up and he grabbed a can of beer from a fan and threw it directly in D'Lo's face! He then got up on the barricade and hit a hurricanrana off it! "HOLY SHIT" chants grew louder and louder as Pyromania picked him up and hit "Pyrotechnics" right on the floor! D'Lo could not beat Patton's count up and Pyromania got his arm raised in victory.

Match Time: 9:12

J.R.: "D'Lo Brown may have grown up on the streets, but he got taken to the school of hard knocks tonight"!

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HIT AND TERRI CAME RUNNING OUT TO CHECK ON PYROMANIA WHO WAS HANDED HIS TITLE.

Lawler: "I can't believe this J.R., how could he take a beating like that"?

J.R.: "He said he was gonna be a fighting champion and with the heart inside this guy, it's gonna take one hell of a beating to get that title off his waist"!

Akasha: "Nemesis, thank you for hearing me and taking the time to come into the dark. Last week, when I saw you return to your true form, my eyes lit up. Never have I seen such a magnificent end to a horrible ceremony. After that, we talked last week Nemesis and even though you didn't seem too responsive, I am here to ask you to come into the dark..... for eternity. With Spawn and myself, the angel with black wings, none of the worthless wastes of humanity in this company and abound will ever be able to enter our world. See Nemesis, few understand the dark..

High Octane had Nowinski in the opposite corner and he and Strife looked at each other before whipping the two into one another. Strife then gorilla pressed Nowinski and slammed him down hard. He and High Octane sent A-Train into the ropes and caught him with a double back body drop that shook the ring. Nowinski and A-Train exited the ring and huddled with The Genius who tried to come up with a new plan. Finally, Nowinski went to one side and A-Train to the other.

Long: "Is that so"?

Ron Killings: "The truth is Austin, you could never beat this black man on your best day. But with you out of the way, it's one less white superstar the man can put in our way. So......

SUDDENLY, A VOICE IS HEARD AND THE CROWD GOES WILD.

Voice: "Hold on a minute brother!

Long: "Hogan? The man selected Hulk Hogan to come out here and defend Austin? Maybe the man is getting weaker than we expected. But we'll play your game Hogan. The Truth here hasn't been in a good fight lately since Austin is hiding at home, so why don't you come down here and let him send you back to the man, the old shell of a man that you are".

Benjamin: "Coach, this isn't the time".

Coach: "Listen Shelton, I didn't come here to argue with you. I came here because I care and I wanna see you live the dream you worked so hard for. And what you're doing with this guy Teddy Long... that wasn't your dream. Are you being able to showcase how good you are? No, you're with a group that wants to make as many excuses as they can. Think about it Shelton, please".

Steel Cage Match: Nathan Jones vs. Kevin Nash

As Nash was making his way to the ring, Jones grabbed a steel chair and brought it inside. But Nash beat him to the punch and rammed him face first into the cage. Nash got on a roll early, backing Jones to the corner and blasting him with his hard elbows before hitting a hard sidewalk slam. Nash went for a vertical suplex but Jones blocked it and whipped him to the corner. But when he followed in, Nash moved and then lifted Jones up and dropped him on the top tunrbuckle with the snake eyes. Jones was in trouble early as Nash pummelled him with some heavy right hands. But after bouncing off the ropes, Jones caught him with an impressive spin kick to the head before using the cage to run Nash's face along, causing him to bleed. The advantage had shifted to Jones who used a double axe handle on the back of Nash before picking him up for a vertical suplex, showing tremendous power. But after reversing an irish whip, Nash caught him with his bog boot. Nash then tried to escape but halfway up, Jones grabbed him around the waist and pulled him down hard. Jones then grabbed the steel chair and before Nash could do anything, Jones hammered him with the chair. Jones then exited through the cage door to win the match.

Match Time: 8:18

Los Guerrero's were very crisp in this one, using their experience and exploiting the fact that it was their opponents' first time teaming together. So they tried to take them out of their element with a lot of mat technique rather than trying to brawl. After Malice got into the match and handled both men, he tagged in Triple H but after ducking a clothesline, Eddie took Triple H to the mat with a drop toe hold followed by a brainbuster like vertical suplex. He went for the cover and got a 2 count before tagging in Chavo who caught HHH with a missile dropkick before tagging in Eddie who came in with a flying halo and again went for the cover and at 2 3/4, Triple H kicked out. Finally, Malice came in to give HHH a hand but Los Guerrero's each took a side and doubled him. Meanwhile, a desperate Triple H went outside the ring and grabbed one of the tag team belts and was gonna toss it to Malice but before he could, Scott Steiner came out and hit HHH with several right hands. Referee Earl Hebner became consumed with the scuffle and told Steiner to leave but meanwhile, La Resistance and William Regal had come out and Sylvan Grenier jammed the pole of his french flag into Chavo's throat as Rene Dupree and Regal pulled Eddie to the floor. Seeing the oppurtunity, Triple H got in and hit the Pedigree on Chavo and hooked the leg for the 1.....2.....3.

Match Time: 10:25

J.R.: "Ah Hebner turn around! Those two arrogant French jerks just cost Los Guerrero's the titles"!

Lawler: "It wasn't a gaurantee they were gonna win"!

J.R.: "Well Triple H and Malice have survived their first defense but it took five me to beat two! Los Guerrero's will remember this! You tell your boys that Regal"!
