NARRATOR:"EACH YEAR, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE CHARGED WITH VIOLENT CRIMES. IN THE WORLD OF THE TWF, THE SUPERSTARS HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF WAGING WAR. PHOTOS OF SEVERAL TWF SUPERSTARS ARE SHOWN. TONIGHT, THESE BRAVE WARRIORS WILL ATTEMPT TO END THE DISPUTE, TO SETTLE THE SCORE AND TO WIN THE WAR. IN THE PROCESS, MUCH SACRIFICE WILL BE MADE. THERE WILL BE BLOOD, THERE WILL BE SWEAT AND THERE WILL BE TEARS. HOWEVER, FOR TONIGHT AT LEAST, DO NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF FOUL PLAY". LIGHTNING STRIKES ON THE SCREEN AS THE FOUL PLAY LOGO COMES UP. EACH LETTER COLLAPSES IN A DOMINO EFFECT AS FIREWORKS LACE THE ICE PALACE. Jim Ross:"24,484 fans have crammed into the Ice Palace here in Tampa, Florida for Foul Play"! Paul Heyman:"This will be my second TWF pay-per-view and I can't wait"! Bobby Heenan:"This event has a tough act to follow in Wrestlemania 2 but look at this card! What a lineup"! - YUJI MATASAMO's MUSIC HITS J.R.:"All seven titles in the TWF will be on the line tonight including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin challenging Travis Wakeman for the TWF championship"! Heyman:"Don't forget the wild card in that one, special referee Mick Foley". Heenan:"What an oppurtunity here for Matasamo though guys. He could become lightheavyweight champ"! - WEAPON R's MUSIC HITS. J.R.:"Two of the best Japanese wrestler's you'll ever see are set to kick things off here". Heyman:"What an upset this would be if Matasamo could defeat him". Challenger.... Yuji Matasamo vs. Weapon R These 2 men new each other well from past confrontations but used very different styles. Matasamo seemed to be the quicker of the two and he had control early after a hurracanrana followed by a fisherman ddt. But Weapon R recovered and caught him with a huge spin kick. After a furious series of knifedge chops, Weapon R went to the top rope. But Matasamo intentionally pulled referee Mike Sparks to the ground when a man jumped out of the crowd and hit Weapon R in the back of the head with a bamboo stick, knocking him out. Matasamo then climbed up next to Weapon R and hit him with a reverse frankensteiner to finish him off. Match Time: 3:28 Heyman:"Who was that guy"? J.R.:"That was KId Dynamo. A man the TWF signed to a developmental deal and sent to Smoky Mountain Wrestling. What's he doing here"? Heenan:"Well that was a well calculated attack. I like it". AS MATASAMO HELD UP THE TITLE, CAMERAS PICK UP KID DYNAMO IN THE CROWD HOLDING UP THE BAMBOO STICK AND SMILING WITH MATASAMO. J.R.:"There's obviously some sort of relationship between those two". JORDAN ROCKWELL AND JESSICA LOPEZ BURST INTO THE TRAINER'S ROOM. Rockwell:"Who the hell said that I was questionable for my match tonight". ROCKWELL HAS A CAST ON HIS HAND. Trainer:"Uh, I did". AS SOON AS THE TRAINER ANSWERS, ROCKWELL HITS HIM WITH EXTREME MEASURES! Rockwell:"Billy Gunn, if I'll do that to a trainer, imagine what I'll do to you in just a little while from now"! J.R.:"What the hell is his problem? Anyway, switching gears a bit, we are now gonna go from lightheavyweights to the big dogs". FOOTAGE OF NUKE MAKING AN OPEN CHALLENGE WHICH WAS ANSWERED BY STRIFE FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF A BACKSTAGE BRAWL BETWEEN THE TWO. "AMERICAN BADASS" BY KID ROCK HITS AS NUKE COMES OUT. Heenan:"Here comes a very big dog fellas". J.R.:"He's gonna face a man that can actually look him dead in the eye and this one ain't gonna be pretty"! "FALLING AWAY FROM ME" BY KORN HITS AS STRIFE COMES OUT. Heyman:"I still can't believe that this guy can even walk after the fall he took at Wrestlemania". This was a brutal fight as expected. These 2 traded shots for several minutes before Nuke took control with a knee lift. After a few stomps and a blatant choke hold, Nuke used a swinging sambo suplex which rocked the ring and knocked all the wind out of Strife. But he could only get a 2 count. Nuke kept the attack on and went for 7 more covers only to see Strife kick out. Suddenly, Nuke went for the "Atom Bomb" but Strife went to his knees and lowblowed him. He then brought the house down with a suplex on the big guy. As Nuke got up, Strife charged him with a clothesline but Nuke ducked and Strife took out referee Jack Doan. Then, the TWF Hardcore champion Nails came out with a fire poker and smacked Strife in the face with it. Doan got up as Nuke covered him for the win. Match Time: 8:25 Heyman:"The locomotive has been derailed"! SUDDENLY, NUKE TURNED AROUND AND NAILS HAMMERED HIM WITH THE FIRE POKER AS WELL AND LEFT! STRIFE STARTED TO GET UP AND SAW NUKE ON THE MAT. STRIFE GOT A SMALL GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE CROWD BEGAN TO CHEER. THEN, STRIFE PICKED THE BIG MAN UP AND PUT HIM ON THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERED THE FLYING CHOKESLAM! J.R.:"Oh my god! Do you believe that"? Heenan:"This guy's a lunatic! He should be locked up"! J.R.:"Well you gotta woner what Nails was doing but it's now time for our falls count anywhere match". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF BILLY GUNN DEFEATING JORDAN ROCKWELL IN ROCKWELL's DEBUT FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF A BACKSTAGE ATTACK BY ROCKWELL. FOOTAGE IS THEN SHOWN OF GUNN INTERFERING IN A HARDCORE MATCH INVOLVING ROCKWELL. "THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH JESSICA LOPEZ. J.R.:"Well all that has led to this and it should be a good one". Heyman:"Rockwell's got himself a ne valet guys. Don't forget about that". "I GOT IT ALL" HITS AS BILLY GUNN COMES OUT. Heenan:"It should be a good match but I think Rockwell will have a plan". J.R.:"A determined look there on the face of Gunn and one other thing folks, Rockwell was listed as questionable for this match because of a broken hand and fractured wrist that he suffered in that hardcore match on RAW. But as evidenced by his attack on a helpless trainer, he's gonna go anyway". Jordan Rockwell vs. "The One" Billy Gunn This one ended up being a qaulity wrestling match inside the ring. Gunn had control of Rockwell from the beginning, hitting him with stiff jabs and a nice dropkick. After a nice jackhammer slam, Lopez got on the apron and Gunn grabbed her by the hair. But Rockwell came and took out his leg and threw him out of the ring. Rockwell then rammed Gunn face first into the announce table and the 2 men fought all the way around the ring, up the ramp and backstage. The brawl continued as the 2 men used anything in sight on each other. Rockwell hit Gunn with a clothes hanger which caused Gunn extreme pain. Rockwell then sprayed Gunn in the face with a fire extinguisher and threw him into a dressing room. Inside waiting were the Natural Born Thrillers and Shawn Stasiak. All 3 men attacked Gunn with steel chairs as Rockwell covered him for the win. Match Time: 5:28 J.R.:"What the hell is this? Why are they helping Rockwell"? Heyman:"Billy Gunn has been decimated"! Heenan:"I told you Rockwell would have a plan"! J.R.:"There is definotely something going on there but I understand that Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by with Terri Gold". Gene Okerlund:"Terri Gold, tonight you wrestle your first match in the TWF but you could leave with the Women's title". Terri Gold:"Ya know Gene, a lot of people watching right now may not know who I am but after tonight, they definitely will. Lita, I have all the respect in the world for you. You're a tremendous athlete but tonight, you're gonna find out that I am too". - TERRI GOLD's MUSIC HITS AS SHE HEADS TO THE RING. Okerlund:"There ya have it folks. Back to you guys". Heyman:"Does Terri Gold realize where Lita used to wrestle"? J.R.:"No ECW plugs tonight Paul. But I really feel like this will be one of the best pure matches on tonight's card". "IT JUST FEELS RIGHT" HITS AS LITA COMES OUT TO A HUGE OVATION. Heenan:"Well I worked a couple of shows for WOW and let me tell you, Terri Gold could easily leave here the Women's champ". Challenger.... Terri Gold vs. Lita Early in the match, Lita duked a hook kick and used a foot sweep to take Gold down and then taunted her as if to say "that's one". But Gold immediately came back with an enziguri followed by a nice victory roll which got a 2 count. Then, in a drastic turn of events, Lita made a costly mistake. After spearing Gold, she went up top for her moonsault but missed, hitting her face hard on the mat and starting a nose bleed. Gold quickly took advantage by dropping her with a headstand flip into a ddt she calls the "Goldmine" and just like that, it was over. Match Time: 1:45 Heenan:"We've got a new Women's champ"! Heyman:"Lita went for the moonsault way too early"! J.R.:"Well Terri Gold has won the Women's title in her first match but I'm sure Lita will be back". THE TWF TRON BEGINS TO SHOW FOOTAGE OF THE PROBLEMS OF LATE BETWEEN AHMED WALKER AND BILLY KIDMAN INVOLVING TORRIE WILSON. BILLY KIDMAN's MUSIC HITS. J.R.:"Tjis should be one heck of a matchup"! Heyman:"But whose corner will Torrie Wilson stand in"? Heenan:"I know for a fact that she and Kidman were an item in an old organization which we won't mention". AHMED WALKER's MUSIC HITS; HE COMES OUT WITH TORRIE WILSON. J.R.:"Well I think it will be a spectacular encounter between two of the best young talents around". This was a great match! After the bell rang, Kidman offered a handshake to Walker but Walker refused. After a ducking a clothesline, Kidman dropkicked Walker in the knee and it would hobble him tghe rest of the match. Kidman had complete control as he went exclusively after Walker's right knee. But Walker got back into it after countering a hurracanrana attempt with a huge powerbomb. He then caught Kidman with a backbreaker and a huge powerslam and quickly the tide had turned. But after several reversals of irish whips and eluding moves, Kidman caught Walker flush in the mouth with a spinning heel kick. Then Torrie got up on the apron and grabbed Kidman by the face. Walker ran up from behind but Kidman moved at the last second and he collided with Torrie. Kidman then quickly went up top and hit his shooting star press for the 1-2-3. Match Time: 12:39 J.R.:"Kidman has just earned a huge win". AFTERWARDS, TORRIE CAME INTO THE RING AND KIDMAN TRIED TO HUG HER BUT SHE SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. HE THEN TURNED INTO THE AWAITING WALKER AND GOT DROPPED WITH THE "PAINKILLER". Heenan:"He doesn't look like much of a winner". WALKER THEN GRABBED TORRIE AND RAMMED HIS TONGUE DOWN HER THROAT. Heyman:"If that's what happens when you lose a match, I'd lay down for anybody"! Vince McMahon:"So after Wakeman is destroyed, you're gonna slap the taste out of his mouth"? Trish Stratus:"Absolutely". Vince:"This is gonna be a great night". TEAM GEORGIA's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT WAVING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG. J.R.:"It's time for our big eight man tag team elimination match and can anyone stop this army"? Heyman:"They are a very dangerous bunch". Heenan:"Remember, these are Survivor Series rules so it could conceivably be all four members of Team Georgia left against one of the Hardy's". J.R.:"That's a scary thought". Team Georgia vs. Eddie Guerrero, Raven and The Hardy Boyz The match started with all 8 men in the ring goin' at it and without even one tag being made, Duke Williams dropped Matt Hardy with the "Mac Attack" to put him out amidst all the chaos in the ring. But Raven came from behind, spun Williams around and dropped him with his "Raven Effect" as Jeff Hardy came off the top rope with his "Swanton Bomb" to eliminate him. Referee Teddy Long finally restored some order and got everyone to their corner. Jeff Hardy and 8-Ball had a great series against each other with both men pulling off moves that wowed the audience. After a running lariat, 8-Ball went for the "Corner Pocket" but Jeff countered with a northern lights suplex into a bridge pin to get pin him. The big 7 foot King Killer came in and caught Jeff with a running boot to the face. After watching King Killer decimate Jeff, Eddie Guerrero and Raven entered the ring and triple teamed him before Maddogg and the eliminated members of Team Georgia came in. Out of nowhere, a man wearing a Confederate flag bandana and carrying a bullrope entered the ring. He began to choke Jeff Hardy, Guerrero and Raven relentlessly at the same time with the thick rope and King Killer one by one dropped them all with the "Killer Ride". Maddogg then hit Jeff with the "MaddBomb" as Team Georgia stood in the ring with this new man, arms raised and the Confederate flag raised high. Maddogg grabbed a microphone. Maddogg:"Once again, Team Georgia reigns supreme. In our mission to rule the TWF, we have gained another soldier. This is The Outlaw. So boys in the back, be ready, Team Georgia is declaring war"! J.R.:"What does he mean by that"? Heyman:"Look at The Outlaw! Can they be any more powerful"? Heenan:"War has been declared by Team Georgia"! J.R.:"Well folks, up next is the finals of the tag team tournament to decide the titles which were vacated after Wrestlemania". EDGE AND CHRISTIAN's MUSIC HITS AS FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE TOURNAMENT SO FAR. Heyman:"This is all because The Right to Censor was forced to disband thanks to Shawn Michaels". THE ACOLYTES' MUSIC HITS, THE CROWD GOES WILD. Heenan:"Now why would these humanoids boo two profound wrestlers like Edge and Christian and cheer two idiots like this"? J.R.:"Call 'em idiots to their face Brain and I gaurantee they'll knock your head off. Now at War in the Winter in December and Royal Rumble in January, Edge and Christain saved their titles from The Acolytes by taking blatant count outs. Well that ain't gonna work tonight guys". Edge and Christian vs. The Acolytes The match started with all 4 men in the ring brawling and The Acolytes knocking around the Canadian duo like ping pong balls. Referee Chad Patton got it seperated and in the process, Edge poked Faarooq in the eyes. This allowed Edge and Christian to employ their gameplan. They used great teamwork which they are noted for and kept Faarooq in the ring for almost 10 minutes. Faarooq was always against a fresh man as Edge and Christian made frequent tags and everytime he started to make a comeback, Edge or Christian would use an eye gouge or low blow. Faarooq finally made the tag but Edge grabbed Patton and he didn't see the tag and forced Bradshaw to go back to his corner as the capacity crowd let him have it. But moments later, Faarooq caught Christian coming off the ropes with a 1 handed spinebuster. Faarooq crawled to the corner and made the tag as Bradshaw came in and clened house as the crowd came to their feet. Bradshaw clotheslined Edge out of the ring and Faarooq went out after him. In the ring, Christian was stumbling around as Bradshaw smashed him with the "Clothesline from hell" and the crowd counted in unison as Patton made the count, 1----2----3!!!! Match Time: 12:06 J.R.:"Oh yeah! Oh yeah, I love it"! Heyman:"I can't believe it"! Heenan:"Christian just got decapitated"! J.R.:"They got their asses kicked"! TRAVIS WAKEMAN ENTERS THE ARENA CARRYING A DUFFEL BAG AND THE WORLD TITLE BELT. HE WALKS BY MEAN GENE OKERLUND. Okerlund:"Champ, champ! Trish is in Vince's office right now! They're planning something"! WAKEMAN STOPS, GIVES OKERLUND A SERIOUS LOOK AND KEEPS WALKING. J.R.:"Wakeman's all business tonight". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF CHRIS BENOIT's FUED WITH KEN SHAMROCK WHICH BROUGHT DREW BLOOD TO THE TWF FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF SHAMROCK DEFEATING DREW BLOOD AT WRESTLEMANIA AND BENOIT's SUBSEQUENT ATTACK ON HIM. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THERE IS A RED HAZE OVER THE ARENA AS DREW BLOOD's MUSIC HITS. Heenan:"Turn the lights back on". Heyman:"I like the entrance. Nice touch". J.R.:"Benoit better not overlook this man tonight. He can flat out wrestle and in my opinion, this match could steal the show". This was an extremely technical contest. The fans were on their feet as Benoit and Drew Blood lobbied for position on the mat. Benoit, who was trained in the famous Hart Dungeon seemed to get the best of the mat war. Benoit used a backbreaker and a snap suplex to hamper Blood's back. But nothing Benoit did could immobolize Blood. Blood came back with hard knifedge chops and they soon traded chops as Benoit had red marks tattooed on his chest. After a nice series of arm drags and takedowns, Drew Blood bounced off the ropes but Benoit snatched his arm and locked in the Crossface. Expecting an immediate submission, the crowd was amazed when Drew Blood escaped the Crossface and delivered the "Bloodbath" all in the same motion. He covered Benoit and got the pin. Match Time: 12:38 J.R.:"How did he do that"? Heenan:"What happened"? Heyman:"I've never seen anyone escape the Crossface like that"! J.R.:"What a win for Drew Blood! That could jumpstart major things for this dark individuals career"! THE GATES OF HELL's MUSIC HITS AS SMALL FLAMES START TO RISE ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP AS NAILS COMES OUT WITH PAUL BEARER. J.R.:"The Hardcore title will be on the line momentarily as there you see the champion Nails". Heenan:"Easily two of the most dangerous men in the world here". Heyman:"Don't forget about the man with Nails factoring in here somehow and that's Kane's father". Challenger... Kane vs. Nails This one spent very little time in the ring as Nails clotheslined Kane out of the ring and when he landed on his feet, Nails hit him with a suicide dive. The fight went backstage where Kane grabbed a glass pitcher and broke it over Nails' head, busting him open as blood dripped through the holes of his hockey mask. But Nails retaliated by hitting Kane in the shoulder with a steel bar and throwing him through a window of an office as glass shattered all over Kane's back. The two men then fought up a stairway which somehow led to the roof of the arena. The 2 continued to go at it psycotically as Nails found a brick and heaved it at Kane, just missing him. But Kane forcefully grabbed Nails by the back of the head and launched him back down the stairway. Hardly able to walk, Nails made his way back out to the arena as Kane followed. As soon as came back through the curtain, he was viciously attacked by The Leviathan. Nails got a pair of brass knuckles out of his pants when suddenly The Undertaker came out and went wild on both Nails and The Leviathan. After tossing Leviathan into the crowd, The Undertaker then delivered one of the most devastating moves ever as he hit Nails with the "Last Ride" on the steel ramp. Kane put an arm over his fallen body and got the pin to win the title. Match Time: 7:31 J.R.:"Oh my god! Nails could be paralyzed"! Heenan:"We've got another title change hands"! Heyman:"That was the most brutal match I've ever seen and I've seen some pretty brutal fights"! "WHATEVER" BY GODSMACK HITS AS BAHAMUT CONFIDENTLY COMES OUT. J.R.:"A golden oppurtunity here for this man and it's been a great night thus far for the challengers". Heenan:"Mean Gene is ready to talk to the champ". Mike Norton, you're facing a man who's pretty determined tonight, Is this your last night as champ"? Mike Norton:"What the hell do you think slapnuts? I facing nothin' more than a punk who likes to run his mouth and tonight, he'll get a first class Reluctance of Society ass whoopin'"! Okerlund:"Have you heard Commissioner Foley's added stipulation? If any of your men interfere in that match tonight, you'll be disqualified and stripped of the title". Norton:"What"? NORTON HAS A WORRIED LOOK ON HIS FACE AS HE WALKS AWAY. "I AM" BY EMINEN HITS AS MIKE NORTON COMES OUT ALONG WITH A BRUNETTE WOMAN WHO IS CLAD IN GREEN AND BLACK. HE HAS A MIC AND INTRODUCES HER AS HIS NEW "WOMAN" SPICE. Heyman:"What is Foley tryin' to pull here"? J.R.:"He's trying to show the fans a clear winner. I like it. No bargain basement victory for Norton tonight". Challenger... Bahamut vs. Mike Norton The match belonged to Norton early as he roughed Bahamut up and after a flying clothesline, Norton dropped him with the "Money Pit" but Bahamut somehow kicked out at 2! Bahamut came back like a man possessed as Norton was beside himself. Bahamut hit Norton with 3 consecutive clothesline and then connected with the "Wings of Bahamut" before Norton got his foot on the bottom rope. But Bahamut kept pouring it on with a shoulder breaker followed by a hard powerslam. But Norton countered with a low blow and motioned for Spice to get a steel chair. Chair in hand, Norton went to swing it at Bahamut which would have been a blatant DQ but Bahamut recovered at the last second and kicked the chair in Norton's face and then delivered the "Crusher" to win the title. Match Time: 7:10 J.R.:"Serves Norton right! We've got a new European champion"! Heenan:"Five title matches tonight and five new champions"! Heyman:"The Reluctance of Society should not have been barred from ringside"! J.R.:"Do they have managers licenses? You're damn right they should've been"! VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AS FOOTAGE OF WHAT'S LED TO THIS MATCH IS SHOWN. Heenan:"A former TWF champion is on his way out here". J.R.:"This match will decide the number one contender for the TWF title". "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" HITS AS CHRIS JERICHO COMES OUT. Heyman:"Well I can't stand this guy and I have a ton of respect for what Venis did in the Iron Man match at Wrestlemania". Val Venis vs. Chris Jericho This one started fast and furious and didn't last too long. Y2J battered the chest of Venis with hard knifedge chops and then knocked him out of the ring with a flying forearm. But Val tripped him up and rammed his groin into the turnbuckle to get back into it. Val then used a running knee lift-russian leg sweep-jumping knee drop combo which nearly won it but Y2J narrowly kicked out. With the crowd chanting "Y2J, Y2J, Y2J", Jericho countered a fisherman suplex and put Venis in the "Walls of Jericho" but Venis crawled to the ropes to break the hold. Then Jericho went for the "Lionsault" after a bulldog but Venis got his knees up into his midsection and rolled him up, putting his feet on the top rope for extra leverage without referee Tim White's knowledge and getting the pin. Match Time: 2:56 J.R.:"Oh come on! Jericho just got robbed"! Heenan:"Val Venis has a chance now to regain the TWF title"! Heyman:"Now I really respect the guy! That was genuis"! WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS. J.R.:"Well Val Venis will face the winner of tonight's main event somewhere down the line but now it's time for a match that was added to the card just days ago by Commissioner Foley". Heenan:"I like Regal to win this one". KEN SHAMROCK's MUSIC HITS. Heyman:"Well it's a tough choice but I think The Snake will retain the gold". William Regal vs. Ken Shamrock vs.IC Champ Jake "The Snake" Roberts This was an exciting 3 way that really could have gone to anybody. Regal and Shamrock wasted no time ripping into each other as Shamrock used several submission holds on all parts of Regal's body. Just like a snake, Roberts waited for the right time to attack and he broke up several pinning combinations as well. All 3 men had many great oppurtunities to win it but none of them could do it. In the late stages of the match, Regal went out of the ring and grabbed the IC title and got up on the apron as Shamrock hit Roberts with a belly to belly suplex. Regal tried to hit Shamrock with the belt but he ducked and Shamrock shoved Regal off and he came crashing down through the Spanish announce table. But as soon as Shamrock turned around, Roberts planted him with the DDT to win it. Match Time: 23:53 J.R.:"Jake Roberts has pulled it off"! Heenan:"He's the first man to retain his title all night"! Heyman:"What a war! But that's nothin' compared to what's comin' up next"! HELL IN THE CELL BEGINS TO LOWER. J.R.:"Folks, comin' up, we've got a very unique, first ever Casket in a Cell match. The rules are simple. Stuff your opponent in the casket and close the lid". THE GATES OF HELL's MUSIC HITS AS PAPA SHANGO COMES OUT CARRYING HIS VOODOO BONES AND A SKULL. Heenan:"I don't think this guy's intimidated J.R.". Okerlund:"Alrigh Undertaker, tonight, you face the voodoo man in the first ever Casket in a Cell match, your first Casket match since your Grim Reaper days". Undertaker:"Okerlund, tonight, Shango and the rest of the Gates of Hell are gonna find out that I've got a liitle bit of darkness still inside me. I might be known as the American Badass now but the Grim Reaper is still alive"! "KEEP ROLLIN'" BY LIMP BIZKIT HITS AS THE UNDERTAKER COMES OUT TO THE BIGGEST CROWD RESPONSE OF THE NIGHT UP TO THIS POINT. Heyman:"Chilling words from The Undertaker who has been in several situations just like this before". J.R.:"Careers could be changed forever here". Papa Shango vs. The Undertaker This was a brutal fight as both men used the steel cage to their advantage. Shango slowed The Undertaker down early with hard right hands and big stomps. But Undertaker wouldn't stay down as he began to become impervious to pain. Both men started to climb the cage when The Leviathan and Nails came out with hedgeclippers. They climbed up the cell from the outside and began to cut open the top. Shango and Undertaker drew closer to the top as Nails and The Leviathan cut a large opening. On top of the cage, Undertaker fought all 3 men off until Nails struck him in the back of the head with the hedgeclippers. The Leviathan then pulled the unthinkable. He picked Undertaker up and threw him through the hole in the top all the way to the mat as the crowd couldn't believe their eyes! Shango climbed down and rolled a motionless Undertaker into the casket and closed the lid to win the match. Then, Paul Bearer directed his men as they rolled the casket from the ring area and up the ramp. Once at the top of the ramp, they launched the casket 20 feet to the floor! J.R.:"Oh my god! There's a human being in there"! Heenan:"I've never seen anything more psychotic in my life"! Heyman:"The Gates of Hell have destroyed The Undertaker"! PAUL BEARER HAS A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE MEN LOOK DOWN AT THE DESTRUCTION. J.R.:"My god! The Undertaker may have serious or even permanent damage"! THERE IS A SHORT INTERMISSION AS FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE HISTORY BETWEEN TRIPLE H AND SHAWN MICHAELS. A BLACK CAR PULLS UP AND A WOMAN DRESSED AS A NURSE ROLLS DOWN THE PASSENGER WINDOW. Heenan:"Who is that"? J.R.:"A strange looking situation in the parking garage but right now, it's time for two of the best in the business to get it on". "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT WITH STEPHANIE AND POURS WATER OVER HIS HEAD AND THEN SPITS SOME OUT. Heyman:"Is Shawn Michaels ready to play the game"? Heenan:"This one is worth the price of admission alone"! "SEXY BOY" HITS AS THE CROWD GOES BERSERK AND SHAWN MICHAELS FLAMBOYANTLY COMES TO THE RING. J.R.:"I believe this could be the match of the year. It's gonna be two out of three falls between two of the greatest athletes of all time"! Heyman:"These two were once best of friends and they know each others style very well". Heenan:"Well they're both in excellent condition and they're gonna need it all in this one". Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels The first fall was a quick one as both men went for the kill right away. HBK missed with his "Sweet Chin Music" and Triple H hit him with a flying knee. Then, as Triple H dodged HBK in the corner and Michaels went shoulder first into the turnpost, Helmsley put him down with the Pedigree to win it. Fall time: 3:40 Heyman:"Nobody gets up from that"! Heenan:"That was impressive". J.R.:"Michaels has fallen behind one to nothin' here and he'll now be challenge to take two straight falls from the game". The second fall was simply awesome! Both men gave it their all as Triple H tried to wrap things up. But HBK chose the right knee of the game as a focal point when he clipped him. He then slapped on the figure 4 and Triple H almost tapped out before struggling to the ropes. But Triple H gained control after a facebuster when Michaels put his head down after an irish whip. Triple H then tried again for the Pedigree but Michaels countered with a back drop and nailed Triple H with "Sweet Chin Music" but Stephanie grabbed Triple H's leg and put it on the bottom rope to halt the count. But moments later, HBK hit Helmsley with a hurracanrana and hooked his legs from behind to get the pin. Fall Time: 11:32 Heyman:"That was only two wasn't it"? Heenan:"Triple H should have ended it right there"! J.R.:"Shawn Michaels is showing why he is considered the most resilient superstar ever and I think we've got a classic in the making"! In the deciding fall, each man tried to avoid the other's trademark move at all costs. But Stephanie slapped Michaels across the face and Triple H followed with the Pedigree but Michaels got a shoulder slightly up at the last second! HBK then came back and went after Helmsley's ailing knee, again applying the figure 4 until Stephanie pulled her husband to the ropes by his arms with everything she had. Referee Mike Kiotta told Stephanie to stay out of the match when Triple H and Michaels had a great exchange. After ducking a clothesline, Triple H went for a flying knee but Michaels moved and Triple H ended up straddling the ropes. As he got off grabbing his crotch and wincing in pain, Michaels connected again with "Sweet Chin Music" to win it as the crowd came unglued. Fall Time: 9:12 Total Match Time: 24:24 OVERALL, THIS WAS THE BEST MATCH OF THE NIGHT AND WILL BE A STRONG MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE. HBK STAYED IN THE RING FOR NEARLY 5 MINUTES AS THE CROWD LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. J.R.:"What a match! These two just put on one of the greatest matches ever"! Heyman:"Well Triple H has nothing to be ashamed of"! Heenan:"He sure doesn't but you have to give Michaels credit after losing the first fall and these humanoids love him"! VINCE McMAHON AND TRISH WALK BY OKERLUND. Okerlund:"Excuse me Vince, can you maybe shed some light on this plan you've been referring to"?

J.R.:"Well there is the challenger from Victoria, Texas". Heyman:"Go ahead J.R., say it, the rattlesnake, the rattlesnake"! TRAVIS WAKEMAN's NEW THEME BY WESTSIDE CONNECTION HITS. HE COMES OUT WITH THE TWF STRAP OVER HIS SHOULDER AND SLOWLY WALKS TO THE RING GLARING AT AUSTIN. J.R.:"There is the TWF champ"! Heenan:"Two of the top guns in this industry are about to butt heads". WAKEMAN GETS ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE AND RAISES THE TITLE WITH 1 ARM AS THE CROWD CHEERS. Heyman:"Remember the McMahon gaurantee. Wakeman better say goodbye to that belt"! Challenger.... "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Travis Wakeman This was an all out brawl which went from the ring to the aisle quickly. Wakeman and Austin took turns ramming each other into the gaurd rail until Wakeman piledrove Austin on the ramp. Ausin lowblowed Wakeman and got up and rammed him into the steel Foul Play logo. They then carried the fight backstage where Austin found a sledgehammer in what seemed like a known spot and he split Wakeman's face open with it. He then pulled Wakeman up and dropped him with the Stunner. Austin was literally pulling Wakeman back to the ring. As Foley began to get more agressive, Vince came out with Trish. Back in the ring, Wakeman somehow started to fight back as he hit Austin with a spinning belly to belly suplex. Vince came in with a steel chair and swung it at Wakeman but Wakeman ducked and he nailed Austin with it! Wakeman then clotheslined Vince out of the ring and Austin walked right into the "Royal Flush" as Foley counted, 1-----2-----3! Foley handed Wakeman the title as the black car that appeared in the parking garage suddenly entered the arena! Foley didn't see the car and he got out of the ring. The car sped down the ramp and slammed into the Commissioner! Foley was upended by the vehicle and seriously hurt! The woman dressed as a nurse stepped out of the passenger seat and a deranged looking man opened the driver's door. It was Electric Coma and Nurse Betty! He began to assault Foley as Triple H, William Regal and Kurt Angle came out and attacked Wakeman as Stone Cold hit him with another Stunner. They all got into the black car except for Vince and Trish. Vince looked at Trish with a smile and motioned for her to slap Wakeman. But she instead turned and slapped Vince as he scurried out of the ring in shock and got into the car! The car quickly reversed out of the arena as Trish helped Wakeman up. Wakeman looked at her as she held her arms out. Bloody and beaten, Wakeman gave Trish a hug and the two left together. Match Time: 16:59 J.R.:"That a girl Trish. But what the hell is goin' on here". Heenan:"Looks like Vince's plan backfired"! Heyman:"Well they managed to take Foley out"! J.R.:"Where the hell did Electric Coma come from? Wakeman is still the champ, but for how long"? PROMO FOR EVIL INTENTIONS IS SHOWN.
