Jim Ross:"World War three may break out tonight in the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York! Thank you for joining us tonight on Pay-Per-View as we prepare for tonight's eight man War match to determine the number one contender for the TWF title"!

Jerry Lawler:"Not to mention The Undertaker as the special enforcer in that match. He'll be face to face with the man he'll have to defend the TWF title against J'R."!

(Val Venis' music hits)

J.R.:"Well we're gonna kick things off with our first of six title matches here tonight"!

Lawler:"Venis will have to take the European title from the man he lost it to".

TWF European title match....Challenger...Val Venis vs. The British Bulldog: This was a quick match to start the event. The Bulldog looked as good as he ever has in retaining the title. Val whipped Davey Boy to the corner and climbed to the second turnbuckle to hammer away on him. But Davey Boy picked Val up over his shoulder and hit him with his running powerslam to get the win.

Match Time: 2:46

J.R.:"The Bulldog looks awesome"!

Lawler:"He sure does J.R., he's got Val's number".

(Kid Gundam's music hits)

J.R.:"We're gonna see some high flyin' action here".

The Hardy Boyz vs. Kid Gundam & The Great Muta: Gundam and Muta totally controlled this match. The Hardy's were not familiar with their japanese style and could not get a rhythum going. About midway through the match, Gundam hit Jeff with his skewer ddt to basically put him out of the match. After that, Gundam and Muta used frequent tags and constant double teams to wear down Matt. As the crowd got behind him, Matt rallied against Muta. But he caught a bulldog from behind from Gundam and Muta immediately rolled him up for the pin.

Match Time: 5:31

J.R.:"A huge win for the tandem of Muta and Gundam. This is a dangerous combination".

(Big Boss Man's music hits)

Lawler:"Well this guys definitely dangerous".

J.R.:"He's gonna take on a mysterious newcomer making his pay-per-view debut".

Big Boss Man vs. Aries: This turned out to be a great match! It was what you'd expect- a back and forth slugfest. The Boss Man controlled things early as he got in a huge boot to the face. From there, he put Aries down with the "Boss Man Slam" and it looked like it was over. But Aries got right up and fought back! A big samoan drop turned the tide quickly. After the two traded blows, Aries planted the Boss Man with the "Land Mine" for a very impressive win.

Match Time: 8:02

Lawler:"This guy Aries is a machine"!

J.R.:"Aries remains undefeated.

(Hardcore Holly's music hits)

This is gonna be a big match here".

Hardcore Holly vs. Tazz: Two of the top stars in the TWF went back and forth in this one. Tazz used his usual erray of suplexes to cause damage but Holly escaped the "Tazzmission" twice. Then Holly showed why he is regarded as one of the toughest men in the business as he took Tazz's beating and gave it back to him. After a picture perfect drop kick, Holly hit Tazz with the "Big Shot" to get the win.

Match Time: 10:34

J.R.:"Holly's tough as nails folks. This should put him in contention for somebody's title".

Michael Cole:"Kurt Angle, two days ago on PrimeTime, you said that you were gonna prove that you were better than Travis Wakeman but later on that night Kurt, he eliminated you from that battle royale".

Angle:"So am I supposed to roll over and quit? I don't think so pal because tonight is my night. Tonight I will win the War match and that my friend is true"!

Lawler:"Angle's ready J.R.".

J.R.:"If he could just do what his mouth says, someone might take him seriously".

(Right to Censor's music hits)

Lawler:"Oh no"!

J.R.:"Well here comes the newly formed group known as Right to Censor and they have tried to censor one of the TWF's hottest tag teams as of late".

Steven Richards:"As I know there are many young kids in the audience tonight, don't worry parents, we are here to help. With rap music corroding our nation today, I say tonight it stops. Rap music has influenced young Americans to commit terrible crimes for years and tonight it stops".

(crowd loudly boos in unison)

J.R.:"These people don't seem to agree with you Steven".

(K-Kwik & Road Dogg's rap hits; crowd comes to their feet)

Lawler:"Now I'm no fan of these two but I'm pullin' for 'em here".

Bull Buchanan & The Goodfather vs. The Road Dogg & K-Kwik: This was a tense tag team match. Early on, Road Dogg was rammed into the steel ring steps by Bull causing blood to flow. K-Kwik tried to pick up the slack as Road Dogg tried to recover. As the entire crowd cheered them on, K-Kwik and Road Dogg got back into the match. K-Kwik and The Goodfather were outside the ring when Road Dogg caught Bull with the pump handle slam out of nowhere. Just a second before referee Jack Doan's hand went down for a 3 count, Goodfather made the save. With all 4 men in the ring, Ivory made her way down the aisle wearing Right to Censor clothes. She grabbed The Road Dogg's foot to get his attention. As he turned around, he was kicked in the stomach by The Goodfather who put him down with a jumping shoulder breaker to get the win.

Match Time: 12:42

J.R.:"What the hell is Ivory doin'"?

Lawler:"Don't tell me she's a part of them"!

-Ivory stands in the ring, arms raised with Right to Censor as the crowd boos.

J.R.:"This makes me sick".

Lawler:"Up next J.R., we've got the Hardcore title on the line".

TWF Hardcore title match....Challenger: Raven vs. Steve Blackman: Raven made a huge statement tonight. As soon as the bell rang, he was all over the Lethal Weapon. He hit him with a piledriver and a devastating reverse ddt which git a 2 and a half count. Blackman somehow recovered and got his dreaded kendo stick. But Raven ducked his swing and countered with a full nelson german suplex to get a huge win.

Match Time: 3:25

J.R.:"Raven just beat arguably the best Hardcore champion we've had".

Lawler:"Raven's made a huge statement here".

(Weapon R's music hits)

J.R.:"Folks, there's a long history between these two. Weapon R is trying to win the lightheavyweight title for the third time tonight".

TWF Lightheavyweight title match... Chalenger: Weapon R vs. Masato Tanaka: This match belonged to Weapon R. He used several martial arts kicks to batter the champion and then a clothesline to the back of the head caused a lot of damage. But Tanaka got a chance when Weapon R missed a flying headbutt off the top rope but he was unable to capitalize. Weapon R whipped him to the corner and set him on the top rope. He then went up top with him and executed a flipping version of the Stone Cold Stunner he calls "R-Rated". It was academic after that as Weapon R won the title back.

Match Time: 6:48

Lawler:"Oh my gosh J.R., that's the best move I've ever seen"!

J.R.:"Weapon R has just won the lightheavyweight title for the third time. Now we have three women battling for the Women's gold"!

Triple Threat/TWF Women's title match: Lita vs. Jessica Lopez vs. Women's champ Tori: This was a sensational match. All 3 women had several chances to win it. Tori looked to be in the best shape most of the match. But there were no sides, all 3 women went at it. In the end, Lopez nailed Tori with a kick in the back of the head and Lita made a quick cover before Lopez could break it up to get the win.

Match Time: 12:51

Lawler:"Lita stole that match J.R.".

J.R.:"Those are the rules and she's a great competitor King. Good for you Lita"!

Michael Cole:"Big Show, two nights ago on PrimeTime, you eliminated Kane to win that eight man battle royale. Is that a sign of things to come"?

Big Show:"You're damn right it is. I'm gonna win the War match tonight and Undertaker, I'm glad you're gonna be out there cause I'm comin' for that TWF title".

Lawler:"The Big Show seems confident J.R."!

(The Acolytes music hits)

J.R.:"Speaking of confident, these two are gonna kick Edge and Christian's asses! How's that for confidence"?

TWF Tag Team title match....Challengers...The Acolytes vs. Edge and Christian: This match was over quickly. The Acolytes came in and terrorized the champs with several high impact moves. With Faarooq and Christian the legal men in the match, Bradshaw took Christian outside and whipped him into the ring steps violently. As referee Mike Kiotta reached an 8 count, Bradshaw got back in. But Christian deliberately took a count out in order to keep the titles.

Match Time: 1:39

J.R.:"Oh come on! This is b.s.! Edge and Christian are nothin' but a couple of pussies"!

Lawler:"Hey J.R., calm down! That was a smart move".

(Mike Norton's music hits)

J.R.:"Well folks, I apologize but The Acolytes got robbed"!

Lawler:"Here comes a man on a mission J.R.".

J.R.:"Folks, we're gonna take a look at Norton's collision course with Test".

(Footage is shown)

TWF Intercontinental title match....Challenger: Mike Norton vs. Test: This was an awesome match! Early on, Norton had the advantage and it looked like he was gonna pull the upset. A quick jab gave Test a bloody nose. As the two traded shots, Becky norton, Mike's sister and Test's fiancee made her way to the ring. She climbed up on the apron and did the unthinkable. She slapped her brother in the face which set up Test's gutwrench powerslam which he pinned him with.

Match Time: 7:31

Lawler:"Test is still the champ J.R."!

J.R.:"What is she thinkin'? That's her brother. He has video tape evidence that Test cheated on her"!

(Ahmed Walker's music hits)

Lawler:"I can't wait for this match".

J.R.:"Well this match was changed to a No Holds Barred contest by Commissioner Foley because of this".

(Walker's attack on Jericho on PrimeTime is shown)

No Holds Barred: Ahmed Walker vs. Chris Jericho: Jericho came in to this match fired up. He was relentless in his attack on Walker as he used a double powerbomb on the outside of the ring to change the complexion of this match. But Walker showed his toughness as he shook off the pain and fought back. But is an exciting twist, Walker went for a hurracanrana which Jericho reversed on the way down and pinned him.

Match Time:7:34

J.R.:"What a match"!

Lawler:"I have a feeling this ain't over yet".

J.R.:"There you see that hellacious structure. It's the Snake Pit and it's next"!

(Footage of the events leading to this match are shown)

Snake Pit Match: Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin: There was a lot of speculation that Austin would not compete due to the way PrimeTime went off the air. But Austin showed up in a foul mood. Roberts got in a quick shot when he rammed Austin's head into a steel bar. But this only enraged Austin as he punched Roberts 4 times, knocking him down. After a blatant low blow, Roberts tried to escape. As he got to the top, he had one leg out when Austin caught him by the other leg. He flung Roberts 15 feet to the mat and climbed out! When he reached the floor, Austin pulled a string to shut the top door of the cell, leaving Roberts inside with the snakes!

Match Time: 2:11

J.R.:"Oh hell yeah! How do ya like snakes now Roberts"?

Lawler:"Austin's ruined Jake's return to wrestling"!

J.R.:"He's the American Badass and the TWF champion"!

WAR Match: Chris Benoit vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle vs. Travis Wakeman vs. Triple H vs. The Big Show vs. Rikishi vs. Kane: This match was everything it was made out to be. Action everywhere you looked. The first elimination occured when Rikishi was pinned by Travis Wakeman. Wakeman then pinned Benoit after a huge clothesline. Angle and Wakeman went at it. Angle attempted the "Olympic Slam" but Wakeman used a go behind, picked Angle up above his head and slammed him thunderously down to get the pin. "The Big Red Machine" was Wakeman's next victim who he pinned after the "Royal Flush". As he traded blows with The Big Show, Triple H came up from behind, rolled Wakeman up and hooked his tights to get a pin. This left 3 men. Triple H and The Rock actually worked together to take down The Big Show. But Big Show was very strong. It finally took a steel chair shot from Triple H to get him out. Now it was Triple H and The Rock, one on one. The 2 went toe to toe as The Rock tossed Triple H outside the ring. Trying to be sneaky, Triple H slipped on a pair of brass knuckles. Once inside, he cold cocked The Rock and covered him for the win. Stephanie came down to congratulate him. The Undertaker came in and clotheslined Triple H and grabbed Stephanie by the throat. But Triple H took Undertaker's legs out and pummelled him with the brass knuckles, opening a cut over his right eye. Triple H and Stephanie raised their arms in victory!

Match Time: 22:40

Lawler:"He's done it J.R.! The Game's done exactly what he said he was gonna do"!

J.R.:"He'll pay for what he just did though, that I can gaurantee ya"!
