DARK MATCHES Alex Arion vs. Low Ki Alex Arion, an indy star who has competed against many big names, was no match for a focused Low Ki who caught him with his rolling cartwheel kick and then the "Ki Krush Driver" for the win. Shelton Benjamin vs. Evan Karagias (mFw) Karagias looked good in this one and Benjamin had trouble with his quickness. But after kicking out after a cross body block off the top rope, Benjamin caught Karagias with a spin kick to the head after he bounced off the ropes to get the pin. Aries vs. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman Pittman may be remembered by some from his days in WCW where he was one of the toughest guys on the roster. But he was no match for Aries here. Both men were in army fatigues and it was a real battle but Aries showed his elite hand to hand combat skills and then caught the Pitbull with the "Land Mine" out of nowhere for the win. Sam Wilde vs. Christopher Nowinski w/ The Genius Nowinski and Wilde lit it up for the RAW division here with an excellent encounter. But after interference by the Genius didn't go as planned, Wilde hit Nowinski with the "Testament to Wilde" and then locked in his submission hold, the "Call of the Wilde" and Nowinski was left to tap out. THE NBC PEACOCK LOGO IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE TWF LOGO. SNME's MONTAGE THEN PLAYS AND SHOWS HIGHLIGHTS FROM PREVIOUS SNME's. FINALLY THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AND "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS, LEADING MATTITUDE TO THE RING. THEY ARE WELCOMED BY SOME VERY LOUD BOOS. Jonathan Coachman: "We thank you for joining us tonight as we are live on the NBC network! I am the Coach and alongside me tonight is the Honky Tonk Man"! Honky Tonk Man: "Mercy Coach, you don't introduce the Honky Tonk Man like that! I'll do it myself! Your broadcast partner tonight is the Hunka, Hunka, Hunka lovin' Honky Tonk Man, the greatest of all time..... wooooo"! Coachman: "That sounded like a mixture of Elvis Presley and Ric Flair but folks, we are ready to start the night with a big one on one contest"! "STAND BACK..... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AND THE HURRICANE AND CYCLONE COME OUT TO A HUGE POP. HTM: "We're in Atlantic City Coach! Did you get your gambling in"?! Coachman: "No I can't say that I did but if I were a bettin' man, I wouldn't go against the Dynamic Duo! They've hit PrimeTime with an explosion and they're trying to cure a problem they've had for weeks now in Mattitude"! HTM: "I'd go down to the casino but I wouldn't come back! All my fans are down there Coach"! Coachman: "Yeah whatever but guys, if you're a fan of PrimeTime then you saw Jamie Noble defeat Cyclone just two days ago and Honky, The Hurricane looks to right the ship tonight"! HTM: "Mattitude is gonna soon be one of the strongest forces in TWF history Coach. These fake superheroes can't do anything about it"! Matt Hardy w/ Jamie Noble vs. The Hurricane w/ Cyclone The bell sounded and The Hurricane extended his hand for a pre-match shake. Matt looked around and shrugged his shoulders before extending his as well. But when the Hurricane went to shake it, Matt kicked him in the gut and dropped him to the mat with a hard right hand. Matt then delivered a gutwrench suplex followed by a big legdrop but when he went for the cover, Hurricane was up. Matt whipped him to the ropes and put his head down but The Hurricane leapfrogged him and came off the other side with a jumping clothesline. He then hit a somersault neckbreaker ala Curt Hennig before doing his superhero pose. Matt got up and The Hurricane stayed on the attack, right hand followed by right hand. He then shot Matt to the corner and followed in but Matt was waiting with a kick right to the face followed by a cactus clothesline. After a scoop slam, Matt went to the top rope looking for the big legdrop but as he came off, nobody was home. Hurricane struggled to his feet before pasting Matt with 2 more right hands. He then bounced off the ropes but walked directly into the Side Effect. Matt immediately went into the cover but Hurricane kicked out at 2. Matt then went outside to get a steel chair but before he could bring it inside, Cyclone grabbed it and just stared at Matt. Jamie Noble came from behind with a hard shot to the back of the head before picking Cyclone up onto his shoulders. But when he tried to run him into the post, Cyclone slipped off and pushed him in face first. Cyclone then did his superhero pose for the crowd only to be blasted across the back by Matt with the steel chair. Matt had some unkind words for him before rolling into the ring. But when he turned around, Hurricane came out of nowhere with a flying reverse neckbreaker. He followed that up with the Shining Wizard and hooked the leg to score the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 8:28 Coachman: "Oh, what do you know about that? The Hurricane has beated his former protege and Honky, that's what Matt gets for taking his eye off the ball"! HTM: "This is a crucial blow to Mattitude but they will be back, I have faith in that". THE HURRICANE's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE HELPED CYCLONE TO HIS FEET TO THE CHEER OF THE CROWD AS BOTH NOBLE AND HARDY TRIED TO RECOVER. Coachman: "He was once thought of as only a sidekick but tonight, I feel The Hurricane has risen above all those notions and become a top player on the PrimeTime division"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... SUDDENLY, TEDDY LONG APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL WEARING STREET CLOTHES AND A MALCOLM X HAT. HE IS OUTSIDE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SALOON. Teddy Long: "Hey Coach, lemme holla at ya playa"! Coachman: "What the heck"? Long: "I know you guys are in Atlantic City and I figured, as rich as the man is, he's with all his white friends haterizing while they sit up and shoot craps in the casino. He's probably glad as hell that Civil Rights ain't there tonight. Well here in a minute, I'm gonna go into that bar. Ya see Coach, I'm in San Antonio and I know for a fact that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is in that bar, adding to his beer belly as always. Keep the cameras out here, we've got a surprise for both Austin and the man". COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PROMO FOR THE TONIGHT SHOW IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... PARKING LOT.... AS SNME COMES BACK, CAMERAS CATCH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FBI. BACK AT RINGSIDE, GOLD PYRO SHOOTS INTO THE AIR AS 24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL. JACKIE GAYDA, IN A SPARKLING GOLD DRESS, LEADS GOLDUST OUT. SHE IS PUFFING ON A CIGAR BUT THEY AREN'T WELL RECEIVED BY THE CROWD. Coachman: "We're back folks and we're set for one on one action involving Goldust but we just saw the arrival of the FBI and Honky, I know you watched the last PrimeTime, what about that disgusting act we saw with Frankie Kazarian and Lita"?! HTM: "I lost my train of thought Coach, I'm focused on Jackie Gayda.... wow"! "DARK PATH" BY 12 STONES HITS AND MATT TAYLOR COMES OUT TO A MILD RESPONSE. Coachman: "Well I have a feeling Kazarian is gonna be in a world of hurt with Jordan Rockwell at MeltDown but speaking of a world of hurt, what about what Matt Taylor is capable of doing to Goldust tonight"? HTM: "Oh he's working to be a man of the cloth Coach, he's not gonna do anything". Coachman: "Goldust somehow lured an unhappy Jackie Gayda away from Taylor and Taylor has demanded this match tonight"! Goldust w/ Jackie Gayda vs. Matt Taylor As the bell sounded, Taylor lunged at Goldust, taking him down with 2 hands to the throat. He then wailed away on him with a barrage of right hands before whipping him to the ropes and catching him with a back elbow. Jackie got up on the apron and Taylor just brought her in using the ropes. He pulled her up and blocked a slap attempt but Goldust came from behind with a double sledge. He then hit the Curtain Call but a fresh Taylor kicked out at 2. Goldust then sent him to the corner and bounced off the ropes, looking for a bulldog but Taylor countered it and tossed him across the ring. After running through him with a clothesline, Taylor called for "Taylor Made" but Jackie again got on the apron. Taylor came over as did referee Chad Patton. Goldust came from behind with a low blow. As Patton continued to try and convince Jackie to get down, Goldust set Taylor up in the turnbuckle and blasted him with the Shattered Dreams. Jackie went down to the floor when she saw this as Taylor crumpled to the mat. Goldust seductively covered him and got the 3 count. Match Time: 5:23 Coachman: "The Shattered Dreams have been delivered to Taylor and with a lot of help from Jackie, Goldust has gotten the win"! HTM: "I'd say Goldust has found himself a new director and Coach, she directs quite well"! Coachman: "What the heck are they doing"? AS GOLDUST's MUSIC PLAYED, GOLDUST PULLED TAYLOR UP BY BOTH ARMS AND JACKIE CAME OVER AND EXTINGUISHED HER CIGAR ON HIS FACE! Coachman: "Oh my god! I can't believe they just did that"! HTM: "There's nothin' worse than a woman scorned Coach! Just ask Matt Taylor"! BACKSTAGE.... THE FBI IS LAUGHING AND CARRYING ON AS THEY WALK THROUGH THE HALL, HAVING A GOOD TIME. Johnny Stamboli: "Man, that pizza ain't agreeing with me". Guido Maritato: "You either"? JUST AS THEY WALK BY AN OPEN DOOR, AN ARM REACHES OUT AND GRABS FRANKIE KAZARIAN, PULLING HIM INSIDE. MARITATO AND STAMBOLI DON'T EVEN NOTICE HIS ABSENCE. BACK AT RINGSIDE, KURT ANGLE IS IN THE RING RECEIVING A LOUD CHEER, ALMOST AS LOUD AS HIS PLAYING THEME SONG. Coachman: "Obtained in a trade from PrimeTime, here is RAW's newest superstar, Kurt Angle"! HTM: "I don't know what Angle wants out here but he's getting an ovation like I am used to getting". Kurt Angle: "I know you guys paid to see some action here in Atlantic City, so trust me, I'm not gonna waste your hard earned dollar running my mouth! Last week, I was involved in a six man tag against La Resistance and Christopher Nowinski but for some reason, that big hairy goof A-Train decided to get involved! Well A-Train, if pissing Kurt Angle off is what you wanted to do, you got your freakin' wish! Now John Cena, I know you had something to do with this and I'll get to you later but A-Train, why don't you get your ass down here right now so I can beat all that fur right off of you"! Coachman: "Oh boy"! HTM: "I don't know how wise this is Kurt"! SMOKE STEAMS FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRY RAMP AND A-TRAIN's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT, MAKING A BEE LINE TO THE RING. Coachman: "Here comes the Train"! A-TRAIN GETS INTO THE RING BUT ANGLE IS PREPARED, BLASTING HIM WITH OVER HAND RIGHTS. A-TRAIN GETS IN A BIG KNEE LIFT AND THE BRAWL CONTINUES UNTIL SECURITY COMES OUT IN DROVES TO STOP IT WHICH CAUSES THE CROWD TO BOO. Coachman: "Security has come out or Honky, this would've gotten ugly"! HTM: "Let 'em go, let it get ugly"! Coachman: "Kurt Angle has got a big problem to deal with and it's just getting started"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PREVIEW FOR JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE... AS SNME COMES BACK, MEAN GENE OKERLUND IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH JOHN CENA WHO IS HALFWAY UP A LADDER. Mean Gene Okerlund: "Back on Saturday Night's Main Event and I am here with the doctor of thuganomics who has climbed a ladder. But guys, the significance of this is the breaking news that the King of Cable match has been made a ladder match. John, we gotta get your thoughts on this". OKERLUND REACHES THE MIC UP TO CENA. John Cena: "My thoughts? My thoughts Gene? Hell, the odds of Pyromania becoming King of Cable are about the same as a guy like you ever hookin' up with Sable. But Gene, don't feel bad, there's a place for inferior guys like you down in Pennsylvania. Just go down to that hell hole and find Pyromania! But don't get me wrong, there's one place worse than Pennsylvania. It's right here in Atlantic City! But come MeltDown, John Cena ain't gonna be there to clown. I'll be there to becoming King of Cable, showing that flamehead no pity! Word life"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 IS PLAYING AND BAHAMUT IS STANDING IN THE RING WITH A DEAD STARE TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE. Coachman: "I think it's safe to say, John Cena is ready for that match and Honky, it's now a ladder match"! "SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE 13th APOSTLE COMES OUT, DOING HIS BEST TO CHANNEL THE FRUSTRATIONS OF THE BEAST. HTM: "And I hate to say it, but Pyromania has gotta be the favorite in that match. He has won a ladder match in his career and this will be Cena's first". Coachman: "Well speaking of ready.... here comes The Beast and he has Bahamut in his sights"! THE BEAST BREAKS THE GRASP OF THE 13th APOSTLE AND ENTERS THE RING, TACKLING BAHAMUT AS THE BELL SOUNDS. The Beast w/ The 13th Apostle vs. Bahamut The Beast hit Bahamut with some wild shots as Bahamut did his best to cover up. Referee Mike Sparks finally pulled him off and The Beast grabbed Sparks by the collar and lifted him up. The 13th Apostle yelled at him to put him down but valuable time had been wasted and Bahamut came from behind with a chop block. Sparks fell to the mat as Bahamut dropped an elbow on the inner thigh of The Beast after pulling his leg out. He then whipped him to the ropes and missed with a clothesline but as The Beast came in off the other side, boom, he was met with a boot to the face. He made the cover but The Beast was up at 2. Bahamut would get 3 more near falls after some high impact moves. He then whipped him to the ropes and went for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker but The Beast countered in mid move with a DDT. He then bounced off the ropes and dropped a big legdrop on Bahamut. He then picked him up and set him on the turnbuckle before hitting him with a hard right hand. The Beast climbed up with him but Bahamut punched him in the side and then headbutted him. The Beast rocked back but held on to the top rope. But Bahamut stood up and pushed The Beast's head down between his legs before powerbombing him off the top rope! "HOLY SHIT" chants were heard prominently as Bahamut jumped down and topped him for the academic 3 count. Match Time: 9:30 HTM: "My God, I don't believe that"! Coachman: "Nobody is gonna kick out of that Honky! That was absolutely crazy"! "BOMBSHELL" PLAYED BAHAMUT OUT OF THE RING AS HE RAISED HIS ARM UP IN VICTORY BUT WHEN HE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP, HE LOOKED BACK TO SEE THE BEAST SIT UP AND TURN HIS HEAD QUICKLY, STARING A HOLE THROUGH BAHAMUT. HTM: "Look at that! Look at that"! Coachman: "The Beast is up! He's a superhuman Honky and I think the situation between he and Bahamut is just getting started"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW JOHNNY STAMBOLI AND GUIDO MARITATO RETRACING THEIR FOOTSTEPS. Johnny Stamboli: "I didn't see anything man". GUIDO OPENS THE DRESSING ROOM DOOR OF THE ROOM HE WAS PULLED INTO. Guido Maritato: "Somebody better tell me what the hell is going on here"!! Stamboli: "Holy sh...... CAMERAS ENTER THE RING AND SHOW FRANKIE KAZARIAN PRETTY SCRAPED UP. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HURTS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A TERRIFIC POP. Coachman: "What is going on with the FBI"? HTM: "Who knows? Why would anyone wanna mess with the FBI"? Coachman: "Well someone obviously has and judging by the target, I have a pretty good idea of who but here is the man who will face the legend Shawn Michaels at MeltDown and Honky, is this the biggest match of High Octane's career"? HTM: "I think it is because Octane has always been recognized as a good superstar in the TWF but never as a great superstar. If he can defeat Michaels, it might be the win to get him over that hump". High Octane: "Last week on RAW, I had a match with Spawn and Akasha decided to interfere. Now granted, I was getting stomped pretty good, but Shawn, I didn't ask for your help man. I don't need your help man. That is why no one takes me seriously. Everyone looks at me as some sort of little.... JUST THEN, "SEXY BOY" HITS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS NEW HBK FOREVER T-SHIRT. Coachman: "This is about to get interesting Honky". Shawn Michaels: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa now! Let me get this straight. I come out and save you from a sure beating that could've led to..... High Octane: "Could've led to what Shawn? I can take it, let me"! Michaels: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but if memory serves me correctly, you had a severely sprained ankle oh, about a month ago. Damion, those two were gonna shatter your ankle in that steel chair. I don't want that and neither do any of your fans"! High Octane: "Shawn, how many times did you compete even if you were sick, even if you were hurt? You called me the next HBK and I wanna prove to not only you, but all these people that you were correct. Let me fight my own battles". Michaels: "Are you forgetting that as RAW enforcer, part of my job is to protect the superstars of the division? I couldn't sit idly by while those two were doing what they were doing". High Octane: "Five days Shawn, five days until MeltDown. Do me one favor. Between now and then, let me stand on my own two feet". "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AS HIGH OCTANE EXTENDS HIS HAND AND SHAWN, LOOKING LIKE HE AGREES, SHAKES IT. Coachman: "You gotta love this if you're a fan of pure wrestling action. We're gonna see a classic at MeltDown"! HTM: "Unless someone else gets to Octane first! He just called off his backup"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR HERSHEY's CHOCOLATE MILK IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE.... AS SNME RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS SITTING AT HIS DESK LOOKING AT THE FBI WHO'VE JUST ENTERED. Guido Maritato: "There's now way we're competing at MeltDown Shane, not after what just happened to Frankie"! SHANE LOOKS DOWN, SCRATCHES HIS HEAD AND SMILES BEFORE LOOKING BACK UP. Shane McMahon: "Here are your options. There will be a match, no matter what. Either three FBI members compete or it's a two on three handicap elimination match. STAMBOLI POUNDS HIS DESK AND THEY ANGRILY WALK OUT OF THE OFFICE. The choice is yours". KANYON IS SHOWN INSIDE THE RING, USING THE ROPES TO STRETCH. A SET OF FLUFFY WHITE CLOUDS APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL AS A STAR FALLS FROM THE RAFTERS AND LIGHTS UP WITH PYRO UPON LANDING AS CHRISTOPHER DANIELS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS. Coachman: "This man is the reason that Travis Wakeman is no longer Intercontinental champion and Honky, they will go one on one at MeltDown in a match I'm really looking forward to"! HTM: "Wakeman is in trouble in that one.... that's all I can say". Coachman: "We've seen Daniels attack the integrity of the TWF, saying it is holding down talented stars and entertaining stars for popularity and tradition. He even went as far as to pull Trish aside on PrimeTime and tell her that because of Wakeman, her career is stuck"! HTM: "And I think she bought at least some of it"! Coachman: "Well that remains to be seen but first, Daniels has gotta get through an always formidable Kanyon tonight". "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. Kanyon As the bell sounded, the two felt each other out and upon locking up, Daniels went into a reverse hammerlock and slapped Kanyon in the back of the head. They locked up again and Kanyon got the hammerlock on this time but Daniels dropped to one knee and flung him over his back before catching him with a nice dropkick. But moments later, he put his head down way too soon off an irish whip and Kanyon capitalized with a side neckbreaker. He then set him on the middle turnbuckle and brought him off with a russian leg sweep to get a 2 count. Kanyon then lifted Daniels onto his shoulder and hit a very innovative helicopter bomb but Daniels showed his toughness, kicking out at 2. Kanyon sent him for the ride but made the same cardinal mistake, putting his head down too soon and Daniels locked in a delay vertical suplex. He then went to the top rope and came off with a beautiful DDT. But rather then covering him, Daniels locked in his vaunted submission move which he now calls "Heaven's Gate" and Kanyon quickly tapped out. Match Time: 6:37 Coachman: "A nice effort from Kanyon but that is a deadly hold Honky". HTM: "It is definitely that and I hope Travis Wakeman watched and took some notes, Daniels is as good if not a better technician then he is in between those ropes". BEFORE DANIELS LEFT THE RING, HE SHOOK KANYON's HAND. KANYON SEEMED A LITTLE SURPRISED. Coachman: "What's that about"? HTM: "Daniels appreciates Kanyon's competitive spirit. Maybe he sees something in him the TWF doesn't". Coachman: "I've just been informed that something is going on backstage. Do we have a camera back there"? BACKSTAGE.... CAMERAS BACKSTAGE PICK UP A NASTY FIGHT THAT IS BEING SEPERATED BY SECURITY BETWEEN SEAN O'HAIRE AND SHANE THOMPSON. BACK AT RINGSIDE, JAZZ' MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Coachman: "The Women's title is about to be put on the line and this woman Honky, has been after the gold for months"! HTM: "And I think tonight is gonna be her night Coach"! "GET THE PARTY STARTED" BY PICK HITS AND ALEX MIRAN COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. ONE YOUNG FEMALE FAN IS SHOWN IN THE CROWD, DRESSED IDENTICAL TO THE WOMEN's CHAMP. Coachman: "Let's get this party started! Here comes Alex Miran"! HTM: "It's not gonna be a party once the bell sounds Coach"! TWF Women's Title Match.... Challenger.... Jazz vs. Alex Miran As soon as the bell sounded, Jazz threw a right hand but Miran blocked it and caught her with a hard forearm. She then whipped her to the ropes and went for a hurricanrana but Jazz caught her and went to the mat with a powerbomb, hooking the legs for what everyone thought was a 3 count. Referee Brian Hebner however ruled that Miran kicked out just in time. Jazz did some serious arguing and it looked as though she had good reason but the match continued. After being whipped to the ropes, Miran was launched into the air by Jazz and landed hard on the mat. Jazz then locked in an STF but fortunately, Miran was close to the ropes and she grabbed them to break the hold. Jazz was relentless and each time Miran mustered any kind of a comeback attempt, she used her power to stop it. But Jazz could not get her to stay down and after countering a top rope superplex by pushing Jazz to the mat, Miran hit the "Anduin" and hooked the leg for the 3 count to retain the title. Match Time: 8:44 HTM: "You have to admit it Coach, Jazz got screwed there"! Coachman: "That may have been the most serious threat to Alex Miran's reign yet but that's all we need is something else for Teddy Long to wine about"! HTM: "Speaking of Teddy Long". TEDDY LONG APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL, WITH BOTH D'LO BROWN AND RON KILLINGS AT HIS SIDE. THEY ARE INSIDE THE BAR AND APPROACH THE BARTENDER. Bartender: "Hmmm, you guys must be new". D'Lo Brown: (to Killings) "He wouldn't say that if we were white and wearing cowboy hats". THE BARTENDER LOOKS AT D'LO KINDA FUNNY. Bartender: "What can I get you fellas"? Teddy Long: "Oh we're not here to buy drinks. We're looking for one of your normal patrons". Bartender: "And who might that be, Whitney Houston"? Long: "Hey, don't diss Whitney brotha. We're here for Steve Austin". Bartender: "Oh! Okay, he went to the bathroom after his twelfth beer, he should be out any time". LONG LOOKS AT D'LO AND KILLINGS AND SMILES. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR TWIX IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS SNME RETURNS, KANYON IS SHOWN SITTING IN A CHAIR OUTSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM, FEELING DOWN WHEN CHRIS DANIELS APPROACHES. Christopher Daniels: "I meant what I said, that was a tremendous match. Kanyon, don't be so hard on yourself man, that's what the TWF wants you to do. They don't know what you can really do". Kanyon: "I can do plenty. I'm onie of the best wrestlers they've got"! Daniels: "And they don't know it. They don't care because you're not the prototypical traditional wrestler. But I know what you can do and I have a great idea of how to bring that out. Let's go talk". KANYON FOLLOWS DANIELS AS THE SCENE SWITCHES BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE "WE DON'T DIE" BY TWIZTED IS PLAYING AND PSYMIN IS IN THE RING. Coachman: "What is Daniels up to now"? HTM: "I've agreed with everything Daniels has done and said since his arrival Coach.... he knows his stuff". "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH HITS AND NEMESIS COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Coachman: "Well another guy who knows his stuff is the longtime veteran The Undertaker and the deadman recently pulled this man aside and tried to give him some pointers on how to get his career to skyrocket". HTM: "And I still can't get over the main idea he had for Nemesis to lose the facepaint. That covers all those gross scars he sustained in that chemical fire several years ago Coach... I don't wanna see that"! Coachman: "The Undertaker is just trying to bring out the real Nemesis and I think Nemesis is listening". HTM: "Oh boy, look at this"! JUST THEN, NAILS AND ZEROEX CAME OUT AND GOT INTO THE RING. THE 3 MEN CIRCLED NEMESIS, READY TO ATTACK WHEN STRIFE AND THE UNDERTAKER CAME RUNNING OUT TO A BIG POP. NAILS, ZEROEX AND PSYMIN WERE WAITING BUT THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH AS THE TWO BIG MEN CLEANED HOUSE. STRIFE CLOTHESLINED ZEROEX TO THE FLOOR AND BACKDROPPED PSYMIN OUT AS WELL WHEN HE CHARGED HIM. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, THE UNDERTAKER WON A BATTLE OF RIGHT HANDS WITH NAILS AND KNOCKED HIM OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR WITH AN UPPERCUT. "DEADMAN WALKING" WAS HEARD AS "YOU'RE GONNA PAY" HIT AND THE CROWD WAS DEAFENING. HTM: "Why are these two helping each other? The Undertaker is coming for Strife's title"! Coachman: "There's a ton of respect there King and they saw Nemesis in a bad situation so they decided to bail him out"! HTM: "It'll come back on them, you watch". THE SCENE CUTS BACK TO THE BAR IN SAN ANTONIO AND INSIDE, "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES OUT OF THE BATHROOM, A FLUSHING TOILET IS HEARD. HE LETS OUT A LOUD BELCH AND IS SINGING TO HIMSELF. HE STOPS IN HIS TRACKS WHEN HE SEES TEDDY LONG. Stone Cold: "What the hell are you doing here"? Teddy Long: "You mean, what are we doing here"? JUST THEN, AUSTIN IS HIT WITH A BAR STOOL OVER THE BACK BY D'LO BROWM. KILLINGS JOINS IN BUT SO DO SEVERAL OF THE BAR PATRONS AND THE FIGHT IS ON. AUSTIN PUNCHES D'LO OVER A TABLE AND THEN LAUNCHES TEDDY LONG BEHIND THE BAR! THE BARTENDER THROWS HIM A BOTTLE AND HE CRACKS IT OVER THE HEAD OF KILLINGS. Stone Cold: "Come on, get all this trash the hell outta here"! Coachman: "Wow, Civil Rights is the one who got the worse end of that and as far as I'm concerned Honky, going to Austin's territory like that, they deserved it"! HTM: "Yeah, well he still has to face Killings at MeltDown and I doubt Killings is soon gonna forget what just happened"! Brock Lesnar and Batista w/ Sable vs. Chris Tirpak and Dylan Jansens The powerhouse team of Lesnar and Batista combined to wear down Jansens early. But Jansens was able to escape the predicament after catching Lesnar with a flying forearm and tagging in Tirpak. Tirpak and Lesnar then had a great series but after a bling tag, Tirpak was nearly beheaded by a Batista clothesline. Batista then removed the turnbuckle pad and shot Tirpak into the exposed bolt. He charged in but Tirpak moved out of the way and Batista hit hard. Tirpak then knocked Lesnar to the floor with a right hand as Jansens went to the top rope and came off with the "Deep Sea Dive". Batista was very slow to get up and Jansens launched himself out onto Lesnar with a plancha. In the ring, Tirpak kicked Batista in the gut and hit the Impaler DDT, hooking the leg to get the 3 count. HTM: "How could that be? They can't beat Lesnar and Batista"! Coachman: "They just did and Sable is in shock! But Honky, if what just happened happens at MeltDown, we'll have a new Intercontinental champion and his name... Chris Tirpak"! CHRIS BENOIT AND BRADSHAW CAME OUT TO CONGRATULATE THEIR PARTNERS AND THE CROWD WAS ROARING AS LESNAR, BATISTA AND SABLE LEFT. HTM: "Go back and regroup guys"! THE SHOT FADES OUT. OFF AIR......
