Narrator:"Throughout the years, sports entertainment has been ruled by one man and his daunting empire". A SHOT OF DARK CLOUDS IN A STORMY SKY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY PHOTOS OF WALLY WILLSON AND HIS REVOLUTION. "Tonight, that very empire is threatened by a group of extremists hell bent on making it crumble". VAL VENIS COMES INTO THE PICTURE HOLDING THE TWF TITLE BELT. "In the world of glitz and glamour that is the TWF, one man will stop at nothing to earn respect..... TRIPLE H IS SHOWN WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER OVER HIS SHOULDER. against a man eager for revenge". A HUGE IMAGE OF THE LETTER R FLOATS ONTO THE SCREEN AND BREAKS OFF INTO 3 SMALLER R'S, FORMING AN IMAGE AROUND THE DOOMSDAY LOGO. REVENGE RESPECT REVOLUTION = THE TWF LOGO AND DOOMSDAY LOGO BOTH APPEAR ON THE SCREEN SIDE BY SIDE. "The TWF proudly presents Doomsday 2001"! Fireworks shoot off for 30 seconds as thousands of screaming fans are shown. 3 very interesting signs are spotted by the roving camera. The first is a drawing of Carney and in sparkly letters it says, "Carney's star will rise to the top at Doomsday". The next says, "Bahamut and Strife, Japan's new atom bomb"! The last one is a drawing, and a good one at that, depiciting Triple H smashing Val Venis with a sledgehammer. Jim Ross:"Will Vince McMahon meet his ultimate doom tonight in front of 26,282 fans here in Pittsburgh or does the czar of sports entertainment have an ace in the hole"? Jerry Lawler:"We've both known Mr. McMahon for years J.R. and by now you should know not to doubt the man"! J.R.:"Fans something we wanna get to right away here, one of our very own, Native American Tatanka, was involved in a car accident this morning. He is okay and is listed in stable condition at a hospital in Pittsburgh. However, he did suffer injuries and we'll keep you updated on this situation on TWF.com". THE HARDCORE REVOLUTION THEME HITS AS HELLS ANGEL COMES OUT WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE BUT IS LOUDLY BOOED. Lawler:"I hate the Hardcore Revolution but what I'd hate even more is to find myself in a dark alley with this guy". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM RAW IS WAR OF NEMESIS AND AHMED WALKER BEING ARRESTED BY ORDERS OF VINCE McMAHON AS "SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION" BY MEGADEATH HITS AND NEMESIS COMES OUT TO A HUGE OVATION. J.R.:"Since that incident, both this man and Ahmed Walker have bailed out of jail although Vince McMahon is refusing to drop charges against the two, but in any event, this is our first of five title matches tonight". Lawler:"This man needs to pay for what he did to Mr. McMahon J.R. and as much as I hate to say this, I hope Hells Angel whips his ass"! TWF Hardcore Title Match Challenger... Nemesis vs. Hells Angel This match was painful to watch as both men suffered a lot of pain. Weapons weren't a factor early as Nemesis came out in an uncontrollable rage and just took his agression out on Hells Angel. After a series of right hands, Nemesis dropped Hells Angel with a boot to the face and then clotheslined him out of the ring. Hells Angel used a low blow to stop the offensive onslaught and then whipped Nemesis into the barracade. Waiting at the bottom of the entranceway waiting for Nemesis to get up, Hells Angel charged with a clothesline but Nemesis reacted quickly, ducking and then wrapping his hand around Hells Angel's throat and delivering a thunderous chokeslam on the steel ramp. Nemesis opted not to go for a cover and the match continued on the outside of the ring. ZeroEx and the Bringers of Death then came out but Nemesis started to fight them all off. But from behind, Hells Angel came with the ring bell and clocked Nemesis upside the head. ZeroEx then hit him square between the eyes while he was on his knees with a kendo stick, splitting him open. Hells Angel rolled Nemesis back into the ring but he got up and went berserk, clotheslining Tex Watson and catching Mike Stalker with a running boot. But in the corner, Hells Angel was seen taking a Hardcore Revolution trademark out of his boot, brass knuckles. Nemesis gorilla press slammed ZeroEx but when he turned around, Hells Angel decked him with the brass knucks and then delivered the "Easy Rider" for the win. Match Time: 13:38 J.R.:"Mr. McMahon may be happy with this result but he better hope it's not a sign of things to come". Lawler:"That's the kind of punishment I'm talkin' about". J.R.:"Well Nemesis will leave Doomsday empty handed but it took four guys to do it". BACKSTAGE TRIPLE H WALKS INTO THE ARENA WITH A DETERMINED LOOK ON HIS FACE. MICHAEL COLE IS WAITING TO INTERVIEW HIM. Michael Cole:"Triple H, Triple H, can I get a..... TRIPLE H JUST WALKS RIGHT BY HIM. J.R.:"It appears as if Triple H is in a serious mindframe and speaking of serious, up next we've got the battle of Texas. Let's take a look at how this got started". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF EDDIE GUERRERO's RETURN TO THE TWF, ATTACKING MIKE "THE TEXAN" SMITH AND THEN GOING ON TO SAY HE DID IT BECAUSE HE's DISGRACE TO TEXAS. MORE FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF A RECENT BRAWL THE 2 GOT INTO WHICH WENT INTO THE CROWD. "LATINO HEAT" HITS AND EDDIE GUERRERO STRUTS OUT THE ENTRANCEWAY, RECEIVING A TON OF HEAT FROM THE FANS. Lawler:"Oh yeah, here comes Latino Heat J.R. and this guy Mike Smith is gonna get an old fashion Texas whippin' here". A GUNSHOT IS HEARD AND MIKE "THE TEXAN" SMITH's THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.:"The crowd seems to really be behind this young superstar and what a boost it'd be for his career to beat the veteran Eddie Guerrero". Eddie Guerrero vs. Mike "The Texan" Smith Guerrero seemed to be in the best shape of his career as he hit as his moves were precise and very effective. Smith hadn't been in the ring with someone as experienced as Guerrero but he stood his ground. Guerrero used a dragon leg whip to wrench the leg of the Texan and then worked on that knee for a couple minutes. He used elbows to the groin and a single leg crag. Immobilized, Smith used a nice drop toe hold and jumped on Guerrero's back into a side headlock. He then hit Guerrero with a swinging neckbreaker followed by a back body drop that got Guerrero 7 to 8 feet in the air. Smith then came off the top rope with a sunset flip to get a 2 count. Smith then whipped Guerrero to the corner and went for a leaping splash but Guerrero moved and Smith smashed the top of the steel post and fell backwards, seemingly unconcious. Guerrero then went up top and hit the frog splash. It was all over but Guerrero pulled Smith up after a 2 count. Sending a strong message, Guerrero then used Smith's own move, the "Sidewinder" and pinned him with a very nonchalant cover. Match Time: 4:39 J.R.:"I've always thought Eddie Guerrero was a great athlete but now I'm questioning that thought. What we just saw was absurd"! Lawler:"Wouldn't you do that if someone was making Oklahoma look bad J.R.? He made his fellow Texans proud". J.R.:"You would say something like that and I can't imagine that the people of Texas are anything less than disgusted with this jerk"! BACKSTAGE Faarooq, Bradshaw, a couple nights ago on Free 4 All, we all saw you guys pick up an impressive win in a four corners tag team match that should propel you right into the thick of the tag team title hunt. However, you two weren't in a good mood after the win". Bradshaw:"It's like this, High Voltage, you boys wanna come into our place and try and make a name for yourselves? Well you two picked the wrong guys to do it against". Faarooq:"What you boys may not know is we've been kickin' ass around here for years and you two think you got what it takes to change that"? Bradshaw:"What Faarooq is tryin' to say is simple, if you boys wanna fight, you and us, we'll fight on RAW is WAR and we'll whip your ass all the way back to the hole you two little bastards crawled out of"! EXTREME JAPAN 2000's THEME HITS AND IT's LOGO FLASHES ON THE TWF TRON AS YUJI MATASAMO COMES DOWN THE AISLE. J.R.:"Extreme Japan 2000 has the oppurtunity to win a lot of gold tonight and this is their first oppurtunity as Matasamo, the leader of this mercenary group tries to regain the lightheavyweight title". THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. Lawler:"This guy is out of his league here J.R.. He's nothin' but the third Hardy boy". TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. J.R.:"Here comes another japanese superstar although he's one that Extreme Japan can't seem to be able to recruit and I gotta disagree with you King, Carney is a hell of an athlete and he'll be very successful in his TWF career". CRASH's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING THE LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. Lawler:"I got a question here, how can Crash have this title when he ways well over four hundred pounds"? J.R.:"Get serious King, that was a couple years ago when he and his cousin claimed to be super heavyweights. He obviously fits the category or the championship committee wouldn't put him in the division". Lawler:"Well I gotta go with the favorite here J.R., I'm takin' Matasamo". J.R.:"Well that's a bold prediction King but he's certainly proven himself in the big match in the past". Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match for the TWF Lightheavyweight title Yuji Matasamo vs. Carney vs. Tajiri vs. Lightheavyweight champ Crash Matasamo was all over Crash early as Carney and Tajiri exchanged right hands. Crash tried to get Matasamo out of his martial arts element by applying a grounded mat attack. Tajiri whipped Carney into the corner and went for the tarantula but as he was locking it in, Carney backdropped him out of the ring. Carney then came at Crash with a clothesline but Crash ducked, unfortunately for him, he walked right into a devastaing superkick from Matasamo. Matasamo covered Crash and got the pin. Tajiri, Carney and Matasamo had a great series and the fans were really into it. Tajiri hit both men with his quick kicks and after a stiff shot to Carney, he used a snap suplex on Matasamo. He then went to the top rope to attempt a corkscrew attack but Matasamo recovered and dropkicked him in the back, knocking him down on the turnbuckle. Matasamo then placed him on his shoulders and brought him down with an inverted powerbomb to get the pin. Carney immediately got on Matasamo, going for a quick finish. Carney hit him with a flying clothesline takedown followed by a front flip leg drop. But Matasamo still had something left. As the struggle continued, Carney put Matasamo up on the top turnbuckle. But as he was climbing up, Matasamo used a thrust to the throat. He then pulled off an awesome frankensteiner off the top rope. Matasamo hooked the leg as referee Tim White counted 1......2......3. Match Time: 15:02 Lawler:"Ha ha! Another royal prediction by me and look at this J.R., Matasamo eliminated everyone"! J.R.:"I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't impressed but now fans, joining us via satellite is a man who has signed with the TWF and will be making his debut very soon, Justin Sane. How ya doin' Justin"? Justin Sane:"I'm good J.R. and I just wanna say I'm feelin' great about being a part of the TWF. It's been a personal goal of mine for some time now". J.R.:"Justin, you are recognized as an outstanding lightheavyweight competitor but I'm curious, how'd you get the name"? Justin Sane:"Well J.R., it's a name I was given in an indy promotion I wrestled in and it's basically because of the daredevil style I bring to the ring". J.R.:"I got one more question here, what do you think of the lightheavyweight division here and can you make an impact in it"? Justin Sane:"Well it's obvious that it's a tremendous division and that was evidenced by the last match. I mean you've got Matasamo, Tajiri, Essa Rios, Spike Dudley and these young guys Carney and Damion West to name a few. But can I make an impact? Well how's this, Extreme Japan 2000, I want my first match to be on RAW is WAR. So I'm challenging any one of you guys to meet me in the ring there". J.R.:"Ok Justin, big challenge there and we'll hope to see you on RAW". Lawler:"What? Did I just hear that idiot right? He wants to face someone from Extreme Japan 2000 in his first match"? J.R.:"He's tryin' to make a name for himself King and I think it shows a lot of character by this young guy to do that". Lawler:"It's gonna be his first and last match in the TWF". A VIDEO CLIP IS SHOWN OF TAZZ BEING JUMPED BACKSTAGE BY DREW BLOOD AND THE LEVIATHAN A FEW WEEKS AGO ON RAW, LEADING TO TAZZ CHALLENGING THE LEVIATHAN. LEVIATHAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK. J.R.:"Here comes the Demon of the Deep as he's often referred to and what an oppurtunity he has tonight". ORANGE LIGHTS FLASH ACROSS THE ARENA AND SMOKE BEGINS TO FORM AROUND THE ENTRANCEWAY AS TAZZ COMES OUT WEARING THE EUROPEAN TITLE WITH A TOWEL OVER HIS HEAD. Lawler:"Well this is gonna be Tazz' biggest challenge and I don't think the streets even prepared him for the beating he's in for tonight"! J.R.:"It will be a great challenge for Tazz to take this big man out and he'll have to watch out for the powerbomb because Leviathan can end it immediately with that". TWF European Title Match Challenger.... The Leviathan vs. Tazz Tazz was like a mad man as he went right after Leviathan, taking out his knees early. With Leviathan on his hands and knees, Tazz sat on his back and clubbed him several times in the side of the head. He then blasted him with a big clothesline but when he went for a belly to belly suplex, Leviathan elbowed him on top of the head and caught him with a running powerslam followed by a huge elbow drop. Tazz popped right up and the 2 traded right hands when The Leviathan kneed him in the midesction and hammered him with a wild forearm across the back. Leviathan then loaded his boot and charged Tazz with it but Tazz ducked and clasped his hands around the big guys neck and executed a perfect "Tazz plex". Tazz made the cover and got the 1.....2....3 Match Time: 2:22 J.R.:"I have to admit that I'm surprised by the way Tazz handled Leviathan there and that'll teach ya to mess with a street thug King". Lawler:"Leviathan doesn't know what hit him"! J.R.:"So Tazz retains the European title in convincing fashion and we're gonna go backstage where we understand Michael Cole is standing by with Vince McMahon". Cole:"Mr. McMahon, are you at all worried about tonight's big tag team match against the Hardcore Revolution"? Vince:"Do I look worried? Let me tell you something Michael Cole, I am recognized as a genius for a reason and soon, that'll be evidenced like never before". Cole:"Well it seems that Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't exactly approve of your decision for the tag match tonight". Vince:"Well, that's too bad. First off, I'll wipe the mat with that piece of trash Wally Willson and I just thought The Undertaker matched up better with Nails, that's all. If Stone Cold didn't like it, I don't know what to say, but the master plan is still in working order regardless of tonight's outcome". THE EXTREME JAPAN LOGO APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND MASAHIRO CHONO AND THE GREAT MUTA COME DOWN THE AISLE, FLANKED BY SEVERAL JAPANESE WOMEN WHO ARE SPRINKLING FLOWER PETTELS IN THE AISLE. J.R.:"I don't know what Mr. McMahon is referring to there, but we've got the tag team titles on the line right now". Lawler:"If this is what they do when they come out, how are they gonna celebrate when they win". "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AS BAHAMUT AND STRIFE COME OUT TO THEIR NEW PYRO DISPLAY. BAHAMUT HAS A MICROPHONE IN HIS HAND. J.R.:"I think that it's a big if whether they can beat this tandem King". Bahamut:"Ya know, I've seen some sucky entrances in my time here, but flower girls? You guys don't have to reenact your wedding here". MUTA AND CHONO ARE OBVIOUSLY MAD ABOUT THE COMMENT. Lawler:"Oh boy, wait till you get to the ring you idiot"! Bahamut:"I mean, if you guys wanted to sprinkle something in the aisle, I think Strife and I have some minute rice in the dressing room. Then you guys can have dinner after you get your asses kicked". THE FANS ARE LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF THIS. J.R.:"Some very unflattering comments being made here by Bahamut as the psychological warfare begins". Lawler:"I can't believe he said that! These two are really asking for it"! CHONO AND MUTA ARE FURIOUS AS THEY CIRCLE THE RING. STRIFE GETS THE MIC. Strife:"You punks are on ma tracks, time to get off". STRIFE AND BAHAMUT APPROACH THE RING AND MUTA AND CHONO MEET THEM HALFWAY IN THE AISLE. Vacant TWF Tag Team Title Match Masahiro Chono and The Great Muta vs. Strife and Bahamut Muta and Chono were relentless early, obviously enraged by the comments. Outside the ring, Muta rammed Bahamut into the steel ring steps and rolled him into the ring. The bell sounded and the match was finally official. Strife and Chono traded shots outside the ring and Chono poked him in the eye and then whipped him to the barracade before referee Chad Patton directed him to his corner. Muta was still in control of Bahamut and after a diving headbutt, he made the tag to Chono. Chono came in and went after Bahamut's left arm, trying to hyperextend it. Chono and Muta made a total of 9 exchanges with Bahamut in the ring. They hit Bahamut with a double hip toss but Bahamut got up and clotheslined them both. Bahamut then slowly made his way to the corner and tagged in Strife. Strife stepped over the ropes and nailed Muta with a big soup bone right hand. He then scoop slammed Chono but Muta came from behind and dropkicked him in the back of the knees. Patton ordered Muta out of the ring as Chono tried to keep Strife down. He used several nerve holds but Strife started to fight his way to a standing position behind the rally of the crowd. Strife then elbowed Chono in the gut 3 times and whipped him into the ropes. But Chono grabbed the ropes and stopped his momentum and then slid out of the ring. He and Muta tried to strategize outside the ring when Strife reached over the ropes and pulled them both back into the ring. Bahamut then joined the fracas, taking Muta out with a running boot. Chono poked Strife in the eye again and went for a big knifedge chop but Strife ducked and used a go behind. He then flung Chono right on his head with a german suplex. Strife then covered Muta as Patton counted 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 12:59 J.R.:"They've done it! One time worst enemies have gained tag team gold"! Lawler:"This is terrible J.R.! They've ruined Extreme Japan's night! They were supposed to win two titles tonight"! J.R.:"Well it looks like they can forget it now! Ya know King, why don't you just become a citizen of Japan, your so supportive of them". Lawler:"I'd rather be a citizen of Japan then a citizen of Oklahoma"! J.R.:"King you're a jackass and speaking of jackasses, we've got one backstage now with Jonathan Coachman"! BACKSTAGE JONATHAN COACHMAN ENTERS EDDIE GUERRERO's LOCKER ROOM IN WHICH EDDIE GUERRERO IS POURING CHAMPAGNE ALL OVER HIMSELF. HE IS WEARING A DALLAS COWBOYS JERSEY AND A SAN ANTONIO SPURS HAT. Guerrero:"I love you Texas! Arriba la raza"! Coachman:"Mr. Guerrero, obviously your ecstatic about your win tonight. But have you changed your opinion about Mike Smith? Do you still consider him a disgrace"? Guerrero:"Why aren't you interviweing him? Oh, I forgot, he's out cold! (laughs) Ya know Coach, Texas is the most proud state in the U.S. and what he got tonight is just a sample of what I'll do to him if he still tries to represent my people". J.R.:"Where does he get off saying they're his people? He's not a native Texan for god sake"! Lawler:"He lives in El Paso J.R.! Last time I checked, that was part of Texas"! J.R.:"Well I hope we get less of these smart ass statements as the night goes on but up next fans is no laughing matter. Perhaps the biggest sibling rivalry in the history of this business is about to take center stage". A VIDEO PACKAGE SHOWING THE LONG HISTORY BETWEEN EDGE AND CHRISTIAN IS SHOWN. CHRISTIAN's THEME HITS AND HIS GOLD PYRO STARTS TO POUR FROM THE TOP OF THE TWF TRON AS HE COMES OUT TO A SUCCESSION OF BOOS. J.R.:"And here comes the one who's not so popular with this crowd". Lawler:"Christian doesn't care about success J.R., that's exactly why he left Edge"! EDGE's THEME BY ROB ZOMBIE HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS BLACK LEATHER TRENCH COAT TO A GREAT REACTION, THE BEST ALL NIGHT. J.R.:"Well here's a man who is very popular amongst TWF fans and to be honest King, I always thought Edge carried the team"! Lawler:"Well in singles action, Christian holds a one on one victory over his brother on pay-per-view"! J.R.:"That happened in August at Welcome to our Yard but Edge hopes to reverse his fortunes tonight and I think he will". Christian vs. Edge This was a hell of a match that could've gone either way. Christian got control early with a few arm drags into a reverse chin lock. His strategy was to not let Edge get any momentum and to keep the crowd out of it. So he slowed down the pace, holding Edge in the reverse chin lock until referee Jim Corderas checked his arms. As it was going down for a third time, Edge held it up and the crowd grew louder as Edge worked his way back to a vertical base. He then loosened Christian's grip with a huge ear slap. Edge then caught his brother with a nice dropkick and a flapjack after catching him coming off the ropes. But Christian ducked a clothesline and hit Edge with an impressive reverse ddt onto his knee. He covered Edge but only got a 2 count. Christian then went to the top rope and attempted a flying body press but Edge moved out of the way. Just then, Faith and Scorpion came down the aisle. Scorpion distracted the referee while Christian nailed Edge with a steel chair followed by the "Un-Prettier". Christian made cover and Corderas counted 1.....2....., but he noticed Edge's foot on the rope. Faith had put it there! Scorpion came over and got in Faith's face as Cammie came running down the aisle. Suddenly, the crowd went nuts as Cammie and Faith attacked Scorpion. Christian was yelling at them, wondering what was going on. Behind him, Edge slowly got to his feet and when Christian turned around, he walked right into the "Downward Spiral". Edge made the cover and got the pin as the crowd came to their feet. Match Time: 12:03 J.R.:"Alright! Edge has done it and listen to this place"! Lawler:"What is Faith doing? She just cost Christian the match! This is a travesty J.R."! J.R.:"Faith has come to some sort of realization that she wasn't in the right place but what a great win for Edge". BACKSTAGE CAMERAS IN TRAVIS WAKEMAN's DRESSING ROOM SHOW HIM HITTING A PUNCHING BAG WHICH TRISH HOLDS. J.R.:"Travis Wakeman's gettin' ready for his match later on tonight with The Rock and King, that's gonna be a hard one for these fans to choose a favorite in". Lawler:"It's not gonna be hard for me, I hope they both lose"! ALBERT's THEME BY CRACKER HITS AS HE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE. J.R.:"This is gonna be our second fatal four way elimination tonight and it's gonna be for the Intercontinental title". KANE's MUSIC AND PYRO HIT WITH A THUNDEROUS EXPLOSION. Lawler:"Ahh! I hate that"! J.R.:"This man is a former Intercontinental champion and he's comin' through hellfire to get it back"! CHRIS BENOIT's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD GIVES HIM A GOOD RESPONSE AS HE COMES OUT WITH HIS GAME FACE ON AND WALKS TO THE RING VERY DETERMINED. Lawler:"Well I predicted the winner in the other four way and tonight, I'm pickin' this man, gore"! RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE IN HAND. AFTER ABOUT 10 STEPS DOWN THE RAMP, HE STOPS, DROPS THE BELT AND CHARGES THE OTHER 3 MEN IN THE RING. Fatal 4 Way for the TWF Intercontinental Title Albert vs. Kane vs. Chris Benoit vs. Intercontinental champ Rhyno This was a very competitive match. Benoit was in a with 3 brawlers so he chose to let them fight it out. But he soon found himself trading knifedge chops with Rhyno. Albert and Kane went at it on the other end of the ring and Kane clotheslined him out of the ring. As Albert tried to get back into it, he caught Kane with a low blow. He tried to hit Kane with a right hand but it got blocked and Kane brought Albert back into the ring from the apron the hardway---- with a huge chokeslam. Kane covered Albert to get the pin. Benoit came and took Kane out with a chop block and then somehow locked in the Crossface. With the Crossface on in the center of the ring, Rhyno came and stomped Benoit in the head, breaking the hold. Rhyno then hit Benoit with a big clothesline but behind him, Kane got to his feet and wrapped a hand around his throat. Kane then chokeslammed Rhyno hard into the mat and pinned him. Benoit came up from behind and clubbed Kane in the back several times. Benoit used another chop block and locked the Crossface in again but Kane showed unreal power as he stood with Benoit on his back, the Crossface still locked in. Kane then pulled Benoit over and delivered the Tombstone to get the 1.....2.....3 and regain the Intercontinental title. Match Time: 14:40 J.R.:"Oh my god what impact! Kane has eliminated all three men and he has emphatically regained the Intercontinental title"! Lawler:"This night is getting worse and worse! The only thing that could make it any worse than this is to see the Hardcore Revolution beat Vince and The Undertaker"! BACKSTAGE TRIPLE H IS IN HIS DRESSING ROOM TAPING HIS WRISTS WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS COMES IN. Shawn Michaels:"You ready"? Triple H:"What do you think man"? Michaels:"I know you're ready man. This is your night, you gotta get that title back". Triple H:"I don't have any doubt that I will". Michaels:"Well I've been watching some tape on Val Venis and I think I know how you can beat him". Triple H:"Oh yeah, and how's that"? Michaels:"Well I overheard him telling Piper that he has a bad knee and on tape, it really seems to effect him. I think if you focus on that, you could beat him with a submission hold". Triple H:"I just might try that. I'd love to become champion with a submission hold". Michaels:"Alright man, well good luck. I'll see ya later". MICHAELS WALKS OUT. Lawler:"What is that? Triple H should be disqualified! He's not supposed to know that! Piper should call the match"! J.R.:"Hey if Val Venis is a real champion and he wants respect so much, he'll fight through it". FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDUP BETWEEN THE ROCK-TRAVIS WAKEMAN MATCH IS SHOWN. TRAVIS WAKEMAN's MUSIC AND PYRO HIT AND HE AND TRISH COME OUT TOGETHER TO A GOOD POP. J.R.:"This is gonna be a huge match between two of the most popular superstars in the TWF and I'm looking forward to it"! IF YA SMELL.....WHAT THE ROCK.....IS COOKIN', HITS AND THE CROWD COMES UNGLUED AND THE ROCK COMES OUT WALKING WITH A PURPOSE TO THE RING. Lawler:"Well I think the crowd's a little louder for The Rock"! J.R.:"He is the people's champion but Wakeman is just as good an athlete and this will be an interesting match". Travis Wakeman vs. The Rock What a competitive match between 2 superb athletes. The match was intense from the opening bell with The Rock quickly catching Wakeman with a samoan drop and a quick ddt that got a 2 count. The Rock went for a scopp slam but Wakeman countered with a small package and got a 2 count of his own. The two then exchanged shots as the crowd really got into it. Wakeman went for a clothesline but Rock ducked and used a nice russian leg sweep. He then went for the sharpshooter but Wakeman blocked it and used another nice small package by pulling The Rock down and getting a 2 count. But The Rock popped up and drilled Wakeman with a clothesline. He followed that with an overhead belly to belly throw and Wakema nwas in trouble. But Wakeman countered a hip toss attempt with a swinging neckbreaker and then came off the middle rope with a flying clothesline. But Rock again kicked out at 2. The struggle continued as The Rock nailed Wakeman with hard right hands and then whipped Wakeman into the corner. But Wakeman moved out of the way as The Rock charged in. He then picked The Rock up and sat him on the top turnbuckle. The Rock tried to fight his way down but he was tagged with a hard kick to the head as Wakeman climbed to the middle turnbuckle and then to the top and he brought The Rock off with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Rock landed awkwardly on his neck and shoulder and Wakeman made the cover for the 1....2.....3. Wakeman slipped out of the ring with the win and The Rock stared him down, lying on the mat the whole time Wakeman walked up the aisle. Match Time: 5:43 J.R.:"Travis Wakeman has pulled off a huge win here and I wouldn't be surprised if The Rock is hurt here". Lawler:"Well Wakeman did win it but it looks to me like The Rock isn't gonna go away quietly". J.R.:"All in all a great match between two great athletes and I hope they've earned a respect for one another after that". VIDEO PACKAGE IS SHOWN DETAILING THE HUGE FUED BETWEEN DREW BLOOD AND JORDAN ROCKWELL. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A RED HAZE FALLS OVER THE ARENA AS DREW BLOOD's MUSIC HITS AND HE SLOWLY WALKS DOWN THE AISLE. Lawler:"Well here we go J.R., the TWF hasn't seen a last man standing match in a long while and this is gonna be good". J.R.:"This one's got all the makings of a slobberknocker. It's got career shortening written all over it". "CLICK, CLICK, BOOM" BY SALIVA HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP WITH LITA. Lawler:"Well if anything happens to Rockwell, I'll take care of Lita for him"! J.R.:"I'm sure you would King. The rules are simple in this one fans, the man to put his opponent down and keep him down, wins". Last Man Standing Match Jordan Rockwell vs. Drew Blood In a brutal, epic battle, both men gave a great effort. Drew Blood got control early after ducking a clothesline and hitting Rockwell with a flying forearm. He then used a few elbow drops followed by a standing dropkick. But when he went for a piledriver on a steel chair, Rockwell blocked it and countered with a back drop. He then hit Drew Blood with the chair right between the eyes. When he got up, Rockwell hit him with the Rock Smasher. Drew Blood hung in there though and took a few right hooks from Rockwell before kneeing him in the groin. Drew Blood then dropped him with the "Bloodbath". Referee Mike Chioda began to count Rockwell out but when he reached 8, Rockwell staggered to his feet. Drew Blood charged in but Rockwell used a drop toe hold and then locked in a reverse armbar twist. Drew Blood was in extreme pain. Rockwell then whipped him to the corner and followed in with a clothesline and an immediate bulldog. Rockwell then grabbed the steel chair again but when he went to hit Drew Blood with it, he caught a kick to the groin followed by a ddt. Drew Blood pulled Rockwell up by the hair and tried for a scoop slam but Rockwell slipped off his shoulders, spun him around and nailed him with "Extreme Measures". As Chioda began to count Drew Blood down, Rockwell backed into a corner when a man wearing a weird mask jumped out of the crowd and hit Rockwell in the back of the head with what appeared to be a lead pipe. As Rockwell fell backward, Drew Blood got up at a 9 count and used a german suplex in which he dropped Rockwell directly on his head! Rockwell lay motionless in the ring as the man in the mask walked through the crowd. But he stopped and took a long, hard look over at Lita before disappearing. In the ring, Rockwell was counted out and Drew Blood was declared the winner. Match Time: 20:06 J.R.:"Who the hell was that man"? Lawler:"Rockwell's got more enemies then we thought"! J.R.:"I don't know what the hell is goin' on, but that man just cost Jordan Rockwell the match and maybe a lot more"! EMT's COME OUT WITH A STRETCHER AND LOAD ROCKWELL ONTO IT. LITA IS PETRIFIED AS SHE WALKS ALONGSIDE THE STRETCHER WHICH IS CARTED BACKSTAGE. Lawler:"Lita shouldn't be seeing this! Come over here Lita"! J.R.:"Well fans, I hope whoever did that is brought to justice but it's time now for a situation unlike any I've ever seen. Take a look". A VIDEO PACKAGE IS SHOWN CONTAINING THE BIRTH OF THE HARDCORE REVOLUTION AND THEIR STRONG DESIRE TO RID THE TWF OF VINCE McMAHON. BACKSTAGE Michael Cole:"J.R. I'm back here in front of Commissioner Piper's office and I was just informed by him that all members of both the Alliance and Hardcore Revolution are barred from ringside for this match. Should any of them interfere, they will be suspended indefinitely". THE HARDCORE REVOLUTION THEME HITS AS NAILS AND WALLY WILLSON COME OUT. J.R.:"I like the call by our Commissioner. Let's see who's ready and let's see who's better". Lawler:"Vince has nothing to worry about, he has The Undertaker on his side"! A BELL TOLLS AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE UNDERTAKER COMES OUT TO HIS ORGAN MUSIC. J.R.:"Well The Undertaker is without the most dominating force in the history of this business but this Revolution is a group of psychotic extremists with nothing to lose and everything to gain and they're gonna fight like it tonight". "NO CHANCE" HITS AS VINCE McMAHON COMES OUT, SHOWERED BY BOOS. Lawler:"Yes! There he is! This is the most powerful man in the history of wrestling J.R., you need to keep that in mind"! J.R.:"He's defintely the most powerful business man in the history of wrestling, but he's in the ring now and he's out of his element! It's gonna be a struggle and it's gonna be a war"! Nails and Wally Willson vs. The Undertaker and Vince McMahon This one didn't last too long as Vince and Wally started things off. Vince was very agressive, tackling Willson and slapping him across the face. He then took him by the hair and slammed him to the mat. He allowed him to bring Nails in and Vince made the tag to The Undertaker. Undertaker took a lot of punishment from Nails but it didn't phase him at all. Nails went out and grabbed a steel chair but The Undertaker kicked it right into his face. He then caught him with a flying clothesline after whipping him into the ropes. The Undertaker went for his walk across the ropes but Nails used his free arm to pull Undertaker down to the mat. This allowed Nails to tag Willson back in. Vince then tapped Undertaker on the back, bringing himself into the match and the fight between Vince and Willson was on again. They traded right hands until Nails deliberately blocked referee Jack Doan's view and Willson lowblowed Vince. This brought The Undertaker into the ring and he went and drilled Nails with a hard right hand. Nails got back into the ring and hit Undertaker with a hard right hand but it did nothing. Undertaker hit Nails with a right hand of his own and then he tried to hit Willson with a boot to the face. But Willson moved slightly and he hit Vince. Nails came from behind and clotheslined Undertaker out of the ring. He then hit him over the head with a steel chair, knocking him down for the first time all match. In the ring, Willson covered Vince and got the pin. Match Time: 7:04 Lawler:"No! What happened"?! J.R.:"The Hardcore Revolution has won it, that's what happened"! WILLSON AND NAILS WALK UP THE RAMP, ARMS RAISED IN CELEBRATION. Lawler:"It's all cause of that idiot Undertaker! I knew Vince didn't choose the right partner"! J.R.:"That's not what you said about ten minutes ago. In any event fans, the Hardcore Revolution has won this thing and you gotta wonder if Wally Willson has got the power shift he was looking for, it all remains to be seen. But in just a few moments, the TWF title will be decided right here in Pittsburgh". BACKSTAGE Jonathan Coachman:"Jordan Rockwell, you've just come from Commissioner Piper's office, do you have anything to say"? Rockwell:"You're damn right I do. Drew Blood, you've got a problem. Because next week on RAW, it's me and you again and whoever this piece of shit is who attacked me, I dare you to show up there". Coachman:"But are you medically cleared to get into the ring that quick"? Rockwell:"Does it look like I care Coach"? ROCKWELL AND LITA WALK AWAY. FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF VAL VENIS WINNING THE TITLE ON PRIMETIME, WITH THE HELP OF VINCE McMAHON. THAT's FOLLOWED BY FOOTAGE OF VENIS SAYING HE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH VINCE, HE JUST WANTS RESPECT AND THEN CHALLENGES TRIPLE H, WHICH THE GAME ACCEPTS. "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A GOOD OVATION. Lawler:"Let me ask you this J.R., who was the last TWF champion who went around offering rematches"? J.R.:"I respect Venis' competitiveness, definitely. But he's gotta prove he can win on his own first". VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING THE TWF TITLE BUT IS LOUDLY BOOED. Lawler:"See, listen to this place, they have no reason to boo this man"! J.R.:"And according to Val, he's out here for respect. With a clean win, maybe he'll change a few of these fans' minds". Lawler:"I still can't get over what just happened to Vince, that was terrible"! TWF Title Match Challenger... Triple H vs. Val Venis This was definitely the best match all night. Both men had a great gameplan. Before the match got underway, Val Venis put a knee brace around his left knee. Triple H started the match with an escape from the collar and elbow tie up by kneeing Venis in the stomach. He then went right for the knee. He stomped on the knee twice and then used a side leg lock but Venis didn't seem to be in a great deal of pain. Venis escaped with a kick to the face and then he caught Triple H with a nice suplex. Thant led to a powerslam followed by a jumping knee drop. Venis went for the cover but only got a 2 count. He then threw a wild right hand but Triple H ducked, picked him up and used a backdrop suplex. The game then went back to the knee, stomping on it and then he locked in a figure 4 but Venis quickly got to the ropes. But when he got up, Triple H hit him with the Pedigree. Earl Hebner made the count 1.....2....3 but a milisecond after he got to 3, Venis got his foot on the bottom rope. Hebner ordered the match to continue. Later in the match, Triple H caught Val with a facebuster to the knee and went for a clothesline but Venis was thinking the same thing and they took each other out. Val then rolled outside the ring and grabbed the TWF title. He came back into the ring and was waiting for Triple H to get up when Shawn Michaels came running down to the ring. HBK jumped up on the apron and took the belt from Venis as he raised it over his head. That drew Earl Hebner over and he ordered Michaels to leave. But in the meantime, Venis removed the metal brace from his knee and nailed Triple H with it. He tossed the brace out of the ring and went to the top rope and hit the "Money Shot". Hebner turned around and counted the 1.....2.....3. as Venis hung onto the title. Match Time: 10:09 J.R.:"Well something tells me Val Venis doesn't have a bum knee! This is pathetic"! Lawler:"This is great J.R.! He's beaten Helmsley twice know"! J.R.:"I respect Earl Hebner and have for many years but he made some bad calls in that one and Triple H has been downright screwed! If that's how you earn respect in this world well then I wouldn't want it"! VAL VENIS STANDS ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE RAISING THE TITLE AND GETTING BOOED HARD.
