THE NEW UPRISING MONTAGE AND THEME MUSIC COMES ON WITH A ROCKET BLASTING INTO ORBIT AS SEVERAL OF THE UNDERCARD STARS IN THE TWF ARE SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN ARENA FULL OF LOUD FANS.
A NEW THEME SONG HITS AS TWF NEWCOMER SCOTT CROSS COMES RUNNING DOWN THE AISLE TO A DECENT POP.
Al Snow: "Hello everyone and welcome to TWF Uprising, I am Al Snow and unfortunately I'm gonna be joined by Mike Norton tonight".
CAMERA PANS PAST SNOW AND FOCUSES ON NORTON.
Mike Norton: "Oh Al would ya shut up and just pay attention to the match. No wonder why you're sitting out here now".
CHAVO GUERRERO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.
Snow: "Well we saw this newcomer on RAW practically beg Mr. McMahon for a shot and he's got it. Let's see what this youngster can do against a cagey veteran like Chavo".
Norton: "My money's on Chavo. This Scott Cross is not impressing me at all with his look".
Scott Cross vs. Chavo Guerrero This was a great way to start the show as Cross showed himself to be very agile for a 270 pounder, taking all of Chavo's best shots. After ducking a clothesline late in the match, Cross scored with a reverse ddt and then went to the top turnbuckle where he tried to come off with a double axe handle but Chavo recovered and kicked him right in the gut. That led to a devastating brainbuster and a 3 count for Chavo. Match Time: 8:51 Snow: "Well Chavo won the match but not before getting a fight he didn't expect. This Scott Cross kid is loaded with potential. He's just gotta develop it right". Norton: "When I was his age, I was already in the TWF becoming European champion". Snow: "And what is it that you do now"? SMW Match: Spencer Hollywood vs. Lenny Lane Hollywood started out strong with a big back elbow and a high impact powerslam, looking to put Lane away early. But after ducking a spinning heel kick, Lane drilled him with a flying forearm and it looked as if an upset was in the making. But when Lane tried to superkick Hollywood, Hollywood caught his leg, kicked him in the stomach and delivered "Hollywood Dreams" for the win. Match Time: 5:12 Snow: "Impressive win for Spencer Hollywood, still one of the most solid superstars in our developmental territory". Norton: "I'll agree with ya there Snow but he could've easily been a loser tonight". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE... Billy Gunn: "Ya know Chuck, I'm not trying to place blame, but I had Mysterio until you hit me with that superkick". Chuck Palumbo: "And like I said Billy, I'm sorry, it's not like I did it on purpose". Billy: "Well we just need to focus, we need to..... SUDDENLY, TWF NEWCOMER AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OVER. Austin Pyromania: "Excuse me, aren't you guys supposed to be a team"? Chuck: "Yeah, but what's it to you? Who are you"? Pyromania: "I'm the newest member of the RAW roster, Austin Pyromania". Billy: "Well nice to meet ya kid, now let the real winners of this show talk in peace". Pyromania: "Okay, no problem. I just figured you guys had bigger things to worry about, like Chuck going back to his natural hair color". Chuck: "Listen here punk, I'm a natural blonde, well, sort of. But if you wanna come out here and get in our business, why don't you and I do this in the ring tonight and you can get broke in the right way". Pyromania: "Well, not that I want either of you to "break me in" ,you're on". PYROMANIA WALKS OFF AS UPRISING GOES TO COMMERCIAL.... COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... JAMIE NOBLE IS IN THE RING ALREADY AS PERRY SATURN's MUSIC HITS. Snow: "We're back on Uprising and what a great night of action it's been so far, now we got Chuck and Austin Pyromania tonight"! Norton: "Can you believe this is our play by play guy"? Jamie Noble vs. Perry Saturn Saturn used his size and power advantage to work over Noble early. Noble seemed a bit out of sync in his first match without Dawn Marie in his corner. After a t-bone suplex, Saturn went for the cover but Noble was up at 2. After ducking a clothesline, Noble dropkicked Saturn in the right knee and then right in the face. He took a rare venture to the top rope and tried to come off with a cross body block but Saturn ducked out of the way. That led to a northern lights suplex and a win for Saturn. Match Time: 5:10 Snow: "What a win that is for Perry Saturn to get him back on the winning track here in the TWF". Norton: "Oh he beat a lightheavyweight, he should feel so proud". SMW Match: Maven vs. Johnny Swinger w/Simon Diamond After a shaky start, Maven got back into it with a picture perfect dropkick that snapped Swinger's head back. Maven then whipped him to the ropes and caught him with a hip toss into a powerbomb variation before going to the top rope. When Swinger got to his feet, he launched himself off with a cross body block and got a 1.....2....., but Swinger kicked out. Staggered, Swinger pulled referee Mike Sparks told him as Simon Diamond jumped up on the apron and poked Maven in the eyes which led to a hangman. This allowed Swinger to deliver the "Swing Dance" neckbreaker and get the pin. Match Time: 3:09 Norton: "He got him Snow, whatcha got to say about your Tough Enough winner now"? Snow: "That he was cheated out of what could've been a big victory. Wait a minute, what's this crap"? AFTER THE MATCH, DIAMOND AND SWINGER CONTINUED THE ASSAULT ON THE FORMER SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER UNTIL AL SNOW THREW OFF HIS HEADSET, JUMPED INTO THE RING AND CLEARED IT OF DIAMOND AND SWINGER. SNOW AND MAVEN HIGH FIVED AND SNOW THEN CAME AND RECLAIMED HIS SEAT. Norton: "Well good afternoon Rambo". Snow: "Hey, I knew you weren't gonna help and I'll be damned if I sit here and watch a young kid like Maven get attacked by two guys, nope, uh uh"! WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS AND A RED CARPET LEADS DOWN THE RAMPWAY TO THE RING WHICH HE WALKS ON. Norton: (rising to his feet in applause) "Get up and hail the King Snow, look at this man". Snow: "Yeah, just what he needed, a bigger ego". William Regal: "Good evening all. I am out here tonight simply for one reason. Now since I won King of the Ring, I feel as though I should be treated with a little respect. But not once have any of you done any of this! And the worst was when Nemesis decided to barge in like a hooligan on my coronation. Well Nemesis, I'm out here tonight to challenge you to a match, one on one, on RAW". Snow: "Whoa, that's a huge match"! Regal: "I'll give you until that night to decide". COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... THE ACOLYTES' DRESSING ROOM.... CAMERAS INSIDE SHOW THE 2 PLAYING CARDS, SMOKIN' CIGARS AND DRINKING BEERS. Bradshaw: "Hey man, don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a good old card game with beer, but we haven't been out in that ring again Ron". Faarooq: "Well hey man, both my kees are about to give up. You'd better off going on your own". Bradshaw: "No way man, we've been partners for too long. I'm with ya till the end my friend". Faarooq: Alright man". THE 2 KNOCK BEERS AS A TOAST AND TAKE A CHUG AS THE SHOT CUTS TO THE RING. MASA CHONO IS ALREADY IN THE RING WHEN RANDY ORTON's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. Al Snow: "We're back here on Uprising folks and although this looks like a mismatch on paper, don't be surprised to see Orton pull an upset here". Norton: "Are you kidding? Against Chono, he has no chance". Masa Chono vs. Randy Orton Chono punished Orton and decapacitated his right arm to the point he was literally fighting as a 1 armed man. But Orton put on a gutsy display as he kicked out of 6 near falls and refused to tap out. But after flipping off Orton's shoulders during a backdrop suplex attempt, Chono, like a shark smeeling blood, went down hard with a reverse Japanese armbar and Orton, the pain etched on his face, tapped out. Match Time: 9:34 BUT AFTER THE MATCH, THE TWF TRON CAUGHT CHONO's EYE AS IT WAS AGAIN DISPLAYING THE NJPW LOGO. Snow: "Well Chono has won the match but what is the signaficance of the New Japan Pro Wrestling logo appearing lately"? Norton: "I have no clue but that's twice now". "YOU LOOK SO GOOD TO ME" HITS AS CHUCK AND BILLY COME OUT TO SOME LOUD BOOS AS FOOTAGE OF THE SITUATION BETWEEN CHUCK, BILLY AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS REPALYED. Snow: "I'm anxious to see this new kid perform but don't forget about how good a singles wrestler Chuck Palumbo can be". AUSTIN PYROMANIA's MUSIC HITS WITH SOME PYRO IN THE ENTRY WAY AND THE FANS POP PRETTY GOOD. Norton: "Well I think he's bitten off more than he can chew tonight but some of these young guys have to find out the hard way". Chuck Palumbo vs. Austin Pyromania Pyromania took a lot of punishment in this but looked excellent is his debut as he hit Chuck with a springboard back elbow followed by a snap suplex. After a flying calf kick, Pyromania was feeling it. He shot Palumbo to the corner and followed him in but Palumbo moved over as Pyromania went for a cartwheel spin kick. But all he caught was top turnpad and when he turned around, Palumbo blasted him with the superkick to win it. Match Time: 4:02 Snow: "Well it was a valiant effort by Austin Pyromania and much like Scott Cross, he has a huge future in the TWF". Norton: "Well hopefully he'll learn to stay out of other people's business"! AN AD FOR THE TWF MALL AT TWF.COM IS SHOWN. SMW Match/Winner earns TWF Contract Shelton Benjamin vs. Shannon Moore Both men gave it their all to win a spot on the TWF roster but it was the combination of speed, power and all out ability that allowed Benjamin to prevail. After a flip over spinning neckbreaker, Moore went up to the top turnbuckle and came flying off with his hurracanrana but Benjamin caught him on his shoulders and delivered a powerbomb. As Moore tried to get up, Benjamin put him back down with an axe kick and got the 1....2....3 with the hook of the leg. Match Time: 6:19 Snow: "Ah, too bad for Shannon Moore, what an effort! But for Shelton Benjamin, his dream has just been realized as he has won a gauranteed TWF contract"! Norton: "Must be nice! My contract wasn't just handed to me"! Snow: "Now that's it, I've about had it with you Norton and I mean it, one more comment like that and you're gonna have a problem"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS SHAWN STASIAK COMES DOWN THE AISLE, FOOTAGE IS REPLAYED OF CHRIS MICHAELS COSTING HIM HIS MATCH AT KING OF THE RING. Snow: "A lot of bad blood between these two Norton, former tag team partners are gonna go toe to toe here on Uprising". "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT HITS AND HE IS LOUDLY BOOED. Norton: "Well I happen to admire both these guys so this is a tough one for me to pick". Snow: "Well I know that most of the fans out there are in agreement, just take each other out". Shawn Stasiak vs. Chris Michaels Even though it'd been awhile since these two were around each other, they knew each other's styles well and it showed. Stasiak came out very agressively but Michaels acted as though he wanted him to. Michaels then got into it with a european hip toss followed by a jumping kick to the back of the head. He covered Stasiak and got a short 2. After a scoop slam, Michaels went to the top rope and came off with a sunset flip but Stasiak went straight down, using Michaels' momentum against him and pulling his legs back to get a quick 3 count. Match Time: 4:58 Snow: "Did he get him? Was that three"? Norton: "It looked arguable but the ref has awarded Stasiak the match"! MICHAELS GAVE STASIAK A LONG STARE AS IF TO SAY "THIS ISN'T OVER YET". AN ENGINE REVS AND HIGH OCTANE's MUSIC HITS AS NIDIA COMES OUT WITH HIM TO A LOT OF HEAT. Snow: "It's time for our main event and what a mismatch this is gonna be Norton. High Octane vs. Bahamut. And the person directly responsible for getting High Octane this match is Nidia". "NOW OR NEVER" BY DOPE HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO THE BIGGEST POP ALL NIGHT. Norton: "Now wait a minute Snow, don't try and stir the pot. Nidia was simply trying to help advance the career of High Octane. Now this may look like a big mismatch on paper but I think High Octane has something up his sleeve, he'll get the win". "High Octane" Damion West w/ Nidia vs. Bahamut High Octane's quick feet stung the much bigger and stronger Bahamut in the early going as High Octane maintained a good distance between he and Bahamut. But High Octane's luck soon ran out when Bahamut caught him and dropped him into the mat with a full nelson slam. He then shot him to the corner and practically kicked his head off with a big boot. That's when Nidia jumped on the apron to try and intervene but Bahamut grabbed her by her curly hair and yanked her over the top rope and into the ring. But when he turned around, High Octane went for the "Head on Collision" but Bahamut caught his foot and then in one swift motion, he impressively turned it into "What Legends are made of" for the win. Match Time: 4:12 Snow: "Well there certainly wasn't anything up his sleeve! High Octane may be looking to take on some bigger names but he faced the wrong one tonight"! Norton: "With Nidia, he'll get there Snow, mark my words". Snow: "Well we hope you've enjoyed Uprising tonight folks! Join us here next time"! OFF AIR....
