RIGHT AS PRIMETIME COMES ON THE AIR, "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" IS PLAYING AND CHRIS JERICHO IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Michael Cole: "Welcome to TWF PrimeTime, we thank you for joining us on what promises to be a momentous night heading to WrestleMania"!

Scott Hudson: "And that's why we are starting tonight's broadcast with a match that will determine competitor number five in the WrestleMania Jackpot match".

Cole: "Chris Jericho appears to be in tip top condition and if you ask me, the WrestleMania Jackpot match was made for someone like Y2J".

"BORN TO FLY" COMES ON AND EVAN BOURNE IS OUT TO A REALLY BIG CHEER AND HE TROTS TO THE RING.

Hudson: "Well the same can definitely be said for this man.... can you imagine Evan Bourne flying off one of those ladders in Denver"?

Cole: "Let's not forget the rivalry that these two men have forged over the last calendar year or so, having many great battles for the Intercontinental title".

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualification Match

Chris Jericho vs. Evan Bourne

The bell sounded and these two great athletes began to circle one another, hands outstretched in a "ready" position. Jericho tried to move in quickly but Bourne sidestepped him and then came back with a deep arm drag. Jericho got up and charged with a clothesline but Bourne ducked and then connected with a reverse roundhouse kick. Jericho was then victimized by a standing moonsault which earned Bourne a 2 count. Bourne got him up and went for an irish whip but Jericho reversed it and then pressed Bourne into the air as high as he could. Bourne landed chest first and Jericho then dropped him with a clothesline when he got up. Treating Bourne like some sort of animal, Jericho poked at him with his feet, using his boot to push Bourne back to the mat. He then got him up and shot him into the corner before charging in with a big clothesline. Bourne slowly came out of the corner and Jericho delivered a very nice sleeper slam. Jericho went for the cover and got a 2 count. After a few more kicks knocked Bourne up against the ropes, Jericho took 3 or 4 steps back and ran in, only to have Bourne pull the top rope down and send him sprawling to the floor. Bourne then brought the crowd to their feet before running across the ring, diving through the ring ropes into Jericho like a heat seeking missile. The crowd appreciated the maneuver, but both men were down. Bourne got to his feet and pulled Jericho to the apron, rolling him into the ring. He then got on the apron himself and drove a shoulder into the gut of Y2J before slinging himself into the ring with a sunset flip. Bourne tried mightily to pull Jericho down into a pin but Jericho pulled the top rope to block it. Referee Marty Elias gave Jericho a count of 5 before kicking both his arms, allowing Bourne to get the leverage to pull him into a pin. But Jericho rolled out of it and into a pin of his own, stacking Bourne up. Elias began to count and midway through, Jericho used his left hand to grab the middle ring rope, allowing a 3 count to be registered.

Match Time: 3:41

Cole: "He got him..... Jericho has qualified for the Jackpot"!

Hudson: "He had the rope.... that decision should be reversed"!

"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" PLAYED AS JERICHO LEFT THE RING TO THE BOOS OF THE CROWD, UPSET OVER THE WAY THE MATCH ENDED.

Cole: "Oh come on, you of all people should know that isn't going to happen! The ref didn't see it.... oh well"!

Hudson: "Yeah, why don't you go tell Evan Bourne oh well?! Why don't you go tell him he's out of WrestleMania"!

Cole: "All I know is Jericho has won this match and he IS going to WrestleMania! Let's move on"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

Alba Rios: "So.... looks like you got some stiff competition in the Jackpot".

Carney: "Who, Jericho? It doesn't matter who else qualifies, I'm the only member of The Empire in the Jackpot which simply means, I'll win".

ALBA WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND CARNEY AND LEANS HER HEAD AGAINST HIS CHEST.

Alba Rios: "So you ready for this doctor's appointment"?

Carney: "Yes, I'll be ready to go in a minute. But after that, I really need to focus on getting ready for this match, it's one of the biggest of my career. So no more baby stuff until after WrestleMania, okay"?

CARNEY KISSES ALBA ON THE FOREHEAD AND WALKS AWAY. SHE LOOKS A BIT PEEVED BY HIS COMMENT.

Invitational Tag Team Tournament Semi-Finals

The F.B.I. vs. Kenta Kobashi and Jun Akiyama

Two teams who couldn't be more different from one another squared off here with a spot in the tourney finals on the line. The veteran team from overseas was able to get the advantage early as Akiyama and Kobashi used several terrific double team moves and classic tag team ring psychology to get Tracy Smothers isolated in the ring. Akiyama was able to put him down with a crescent kick after wrenching his arm back and Kobashi tagged into the match. Smothers got to a seated position and Kobashi ran in, kicking him right in the face. He made a lateral press but Smothers was out at 2. Desperate to get to his corner, Smothers got up and raked the eyes of Kobashi. But when he he turned to go to his corner, Kobashi retaliated with a chop block, taking out the right leg of Smothers. Akiyama came into the ring and the Japanese duo yanked each leg of Smothers, making a "wishbone" effect. Kobashi then zeroed in on the knee of Smothers, twisting and contorting it, clearly putting the F.B.I. member in pain. Kobashi got Smothers up and moved him to the corner, setting him on the top turnbuckle. He stepped back and looked ready to run in on Smothers but the mountainous Big Sal Graziano came into the ring and stood in his path, challenging Kobashi to run in. Kobashi did, diving in between the big man's legs and then dropkicking his massive back. Smothers though, recovered and came off the top rope with a crossbody block to get a 1......2........, but that was it. Akiyama came into the ring and kicked Smothers in the back of the head. Smothers grabbed his head and rolled out of the ring as Akiyama and Kobashi worked on Big Sal together. As the two kicked away at Graziano in the corner, they were starting to break him down. Akiyama then went over to the ring ropes, looking to get Smothers back in. But taking a page out of the book of many Japanese performers, Smothers threw a handful of powder into the eyes of Akiyama. He then ran in with a flying double knee to the back of Kobashi before dumping him over the top rope. Graziano got out of the ring as Smothers went back to Akiyama, who wasn't even the legal man in the match. By this point, that seemed to slip the mind of referee Scott Armstrong. Smothers got Akiyama up and delivered a swinging neckbreaker before making the tag to Big Sal. Big Sal came into the ring and bounced off the ropes, slamming down onto Akiyama with an incredible splash. Armstrong got into position and issued the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:44

Hudson: "Now that has got to be considered an upset. With a little salt.... of powder, the Full Blooded Italians have qualified for the finals of this tournament".

Cole: "And I don't see them losing, I really don't. Tracy Smothers and this monster Big Sal.... how big is this guy"?

Hudson: "He's six foot nine and at least five hundred pounds.... one of the biggest men to ever set foot in a TWF ring for sure".

Cole: "Yeah, it's like a trio or a quarter with a guy that big .... good luck against these guys"!

Hudson: "The other semi-final match in the tournament will take place later tonight when the Kings of Wrestling battle the Knockout-Tapout Connection and what a match that's gonna be".

BACKSTAGE........

THE CROWD INSIDE THE ARENA CHEERS WHEN JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN ENTERING THE BUILDING.

BACK IN THE RING, GREGORY HELMS IS SHOWN GETTING READY FOR ACTION.

"FROM THE INSIDE" BY DEPSWA COMES ON AND CALEB WEBER COMES OUT TO A HEAVILY CHEERED REACTION.

Hudson: "Back to the ring here as you just saw the Franchise arrive here in Phoenix and I understand we will hear from the former multiple time champion later tonight".

Cole: "Oh great, more whining from Captain Crybaby! Ya know, I'm so sick of hearing him bitch and moan about this and that..... how 'bout you get in the ring and do the talking with your hands, Rockwell, how 'bout that"?!

Hudson: "I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't even hear that statement and get ready to call what should be a great match between Gregory Helms and Caleb Weber".

Gregory Helms vs. Caleb Weber

Weber seemed the quicker of the two early on as he was able to beat Helms to several spots. He took Helms into a standing hammerlock but ate a back elbow and Helms followed up with a flying calf kick. After a quick legdrop from Helms, he pulled Weber to his feet and shot him to the ropes before connecting with a flying back elbow. Helms awaited Weber's return to his feet and threw a superkick, missing. Weber then kick him in the gut and locked in a very forceful front facelock before rolling forward with him, putting a lot of torque on the neck. Helms seemed like he was about to tap out but Weber relinquished the hold and got in a double underhook. That led to an incredibly innovative brainbuster from that position and Helms was dropped right onto his head. Weber went into the cover and got the pin.

Match Time: 2:43

Hudson: "Wow, did you see that? What a move by Weber"!

Cole: "Yeah there's no kickin' out after that but look at this.... here comes Velvet Sky and she's not alone"!

VELVET SKY EMERGED FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH CHRIS MASTERS, POINTING HIM TO THE RING. THE CROWD TRIED TO WARN WEBER OF WHAT WAS COMING BUT MASTERS GOT INTO THE RING AND SMASHED HIM FROM BEHIND. WEBER GOT UP BUT MASTERS CLUBBED HIM WITH A DEVASTATING DOUBLE SLEDGE TO THE FACE. WEBER WENT DOWN IN A HEAP AND HIS MOUTH AND NOSE AREA WAS BUSTED OPEN.

Hudson: "What in the hell is going on?! Velvet Sky has essentially used The Masterpiece to attack Caleb Weber"!

Cole: "Remember when I said he was a complete moron for turning that gorgeous woman down?! Well that's even more apparent now"!

MASTERS LEFT THE RING AS VELVET LOOKED DOWN AT WEBER AND HAD SOME WORDS. SHE THEN NOTICED HELMS AND LOOKED DOWN AT HIM, LAUGHING BEFORE LEAVING THE RING.

AFTER THEY LEFT, EVE CAME RUNNING OUT TO CHECK ON WEBER.

Hudson: "Here comes Eve..... what a cheap shot! What a cheap shot by Velvet and Chris Masters"!

Cole: "Well it looks to me like Velvet found a real man! Leave this little boy Caleb to have Eve...... what a downgrade that is"!

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.......

PRIMETIME RETURNS WITH "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR PLAYING. THE MUSIC STOPS AS CHAOS WOLF PRESSES A MICROPHONE UP TO HIS LIPS.

Chaos Wolf: "Now at Main Event, I was given my first opportunity in over nine months. Now I didn't win the title but knowing The Empire no matter how hard I bust my ass for the company it will most likely be at least a year before I get another one, however there is something I realized after talking to my old friend Chris Tirpak. What I realized is that certain people here have a sense of entitlement. They believe they should just have something because of who they are or what they have done. Chris thinks he should get a World Title shot since he has been here almost ten years when his career has stagnated. Joe Corey thinks he should main event WrestleMania because he is the Universal champ but he is just a paper champion. M.X. Ogden thinks he should get a title shot since he has been on a winning streak as of late. John Cena thinks he should be allowed to assault Ogden because it was Ogden that beat him up backstage. Sting thinks he is entitled to a match with the Undertaker just because he was told it would happen. Jordan Rockwell believes that he should be champion because of Gundam attacking him during his ladder match. All of these people think they should just be entitled to the things they want instead of busting their ass like myself and everyone else in the back yet it is because of the idiotic morons in charge and an inactive board of directors that the true workers of the TWF are held down and buried. Well from here on out, I won't let it go on no matter what I have to do and no matter whom I have to piss off or beat up, the TWF will become a place where the talented are afforded their rightful opportunities. Empire this is only the beginning of a revolution that you cannot stop"!

"OH RADIO" COMES ON AND ZACK RYDER COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION.

Cole: "Thank God that's over with! Who the hell does Chaos Wolf think he is"?

Hudson: "He sounds like a very frustrated individual to me".

Cole: "Yeah well if it was up to me, I wouldn't afford him the right to speak! He wants to be afforded opportunities, how 'bout you keep your mouth shut and stop criticizing those who sign your paychecks! Did ya ever think of that"?!

Hudson: "Zack Ryder will provide the opposition here tonight and he's another guy who has gone to The Empire recently seeking an opportunity".

Cole: "Well then this is a perfect situation...... we'll give the winner here an opportunity, at what I don't know, and we'll let the loser start parking cars at all future events"!

Chaos Wolf vs. Zack Ryder

When the bell sounded to get things started, Wolf came at Ryder as those they were worst enemies, pounding him with right hands and kicks before grabbing him for a belly to belly suplex. He then mounted Ryder and popped him with a countless amount of punches, forcing referee Aaron Mahoney to pull him off after nearly disqualifying him. As Wolf came back in, Ryder stuck his right foot into his left kneecap, causing it to buckle. Ryder then hit the ropes and delivered a pretty flying leg lariat. He made a cover and got 1............2.............., but that was all. After getting Wolf back to his feet, he went for an irish whip but it was reversed and Wolf turned it into a big powerslam. Wolf looked far superior to Ryder but when he whipped him into the corner and ran in, Ryder moved out of the way and then rolled him up. As Mahoney got down to count, Ryder grabbed a handful of Wolf's pants and was able to steal the win.

Match Time: 2:58

Cole: "Ha! How's that taste Mister revolution that can't be stopped"?!

Hudson: "Wait, Wolf from behind"!

BEFORE RYDER COULD EVEN CELEBRATE THE WIN, CHAOS WOLF ATTACKED HIM FROM BEHIND AND WAS ALL OVER HIM. AFTER TOSSING HIM OUT OF THE RING, HE WENT OUT AND GRABBED A STEEL CHAIR, BLASTING RYDER OVER THE HEAD WITH IT. WOLF THEN MOTIONED FOR HUDSON AND COLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AS HE STARTED TO PULL THE MONITORS OUT OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE.

Cole: "Not this..... someone stop this guy"!

WOLF THEN GOT RYDER UP AND DELIVERED THE "CHAOS DRIVER" RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE. THE CROWD WAS SHOCKED AND CHANTED "HOLY SHIT" AS THEY LOOKED OVER THE DAMAGE.

Cole: "This guy's a buffoon, get him outta here"!

Hudson: "I'm sure The Empire will take a good look at what we just saw here.... wow".

Cole: "Where the heck am I gonna sit the rest of the night"?

THE NBC SPORTS LOGO IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY SOME QUICK IMAGES OF JOE COREY, M.X. OGDEN, JOHN CENA, JORDAN ROCKWELL, MATT CRUZ AND CM PUNK.

Audio Voiceover: "It's the final stop before WrestleMania........ whose road will lead to Paradise..... and whose will lead to pain, sorrow or worse? TWF Main Event, the WrestleMania 12 special, live on NBC".

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, OFFICIALS HAVE COME OUT FROM THE BACK TO HELP ZACK RYDER OUT AS VLADIMIR KOZLOV MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

SCOTT HUDSON AND MICHAEL COLE ARE SHOWN SITTING AROUND THE BROKEN ANNOUNCE TABLE.

Cole: "The Main Event WrestleMania special will be one of the biggest shows we've ever done on NBC, I truly believe that".

Hudson: "You will not want to miss that one as we will have all of the superstars from both Rampage and PrimeTime in attendance. We already know that the finals of the Tag Team Tournament will be held on the broadcast but there is sure to be a heckuva lot more".

THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER WHEN STING's THEME STARTS UP, BRINGING HIM OUT FROM THE BACK. STING APPEARS, LOOKING VERY STOIC, BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Cole: "As far as we know, one match that is not signed for WrestleMania at this time is Sting versus The Undertaker".

Hudson: "I have known Sting for over twenty years and I talked to him earlier today. He says that the main reason he ever came to the TWF was for this one match, a match fans have wanted to see for fifteen to twenty years. It's like the ultimate dream match, Michael and for everyone's sake, I hope it goes down".

Cole: "Well tonight Sting will have to settle for Vladimir Kozlov who may not be The Undertaker, but is certainly no slouch".

Hudson: "No, Sting will definitely have his hands full tonight".

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Sting

Sting locked up with the big Russian but Kozlov was able to push him several feet across the ring. Sting got up and shook it off before locking up with him again. This time Sting was able to get in a kick to the abdomen before headbutting the Moscow Mauler. Apparently Sting hadn't done his homework because he took the worst of that and then found himself on the mat after a push kick from Vladimir. After getting Sting up, Kozlov trapped his arms at his sides and then delivered a big belly to belly throw. Kozlov then came at Sting with a running headbutt but Sting, even at his age, showed he still has plenty of athleticism by first leapfrogging Kozlov and then connecting with a dropkick. After whipping Kozlov into the corner, Sting followed up with the Stinger Splash. Kozlov took it full force and then stumbled around the ring before throwing a wild right hand that missed. Sting grabbed his head and turned it into the "Scorpion Deathdrop" to win the match.

Match Time: 4:00

Hudson: "Wow..... Sting with a very impressive performance here tonight in the desert".

Cole: "And now he wants a microphone..... this could be interesting".

Sting: "Wakeman...... it looks like the clock is ticking and it looks like you're gonna run out of time. So since I've never been a part of WrestleMania and I sure as heck would like to be, I'll settle for you as an opponent for the big show and I'll beat you in your hometown of Denver! So what do ya say..... come on out here and let's make it official"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AS STING LOOKS TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE, WAITING.

Cole: "Is Sting really challenging the owner of this company to a match? What the heck is wrong with people here tonight? Is that hot Arizona heat causing IQ points to drop"?

JUST THEN, A VOICE SAYS "STING" BEFORE JAKE ROBERTS COMES OUT FROM THE BACK.

Jake Roberts: "I told you all along Sting, I told you that in order to get The Undertaker to listen, you had to be willing to enter his world. Wakeman was never going to do that, so true to my word, I found him and I was able to talk to the deadman! My advice to you, Sting, would be to tread lightly, make clear, conscious decisions and don't try to get into a.........

THE CROWD IS BUZZING BUT EVERYONE SEEMS TO JUMP A LITTLE WHEN A LIGHTNING BOLT STRIKES THE STAGE, EVEN STARTLING JAKE ROBERTS. THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT BEFORE THE UNDERTAKER APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON, WEARING HIS BLACK HAT AND COAT.

Undertaker: "Sting......... as the old saying goes..... be careful what you wish for. It's true, this is a match decades in the making. But it's one that you think you want for all the wrong reasons. As I look over the victims I have laid to waste over the years, they all had weaknesses, whether mentally or physically. Your weaknesses will too be exposed, Sting, if you choose to go through with this. Ya see I don't care if you're contractually obligated to have this match, but I will be glad to bury you in the middle of the ring in Denver. Think long and hard about what you really want to do...... decide on how you want your legacy to end. I will be at Main Event...... if you decide you want to walk this dark path, you can meet me face to face and ask me for the match. If I show up and you're not there, I'll know you chose the direction with some light at the end of the tunnel. Just know that the road full of darkness leads to only one conclusion and Sting...... you will (crowd follows the words) REST....... IN...... PEACE"!

THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC PLAYS AS STING IS SHOWN IN THE RING, LOOKING UP AT THE NOW BLANK SCREEN. THE SMILE IS NO LONGER ON HIS FACE AND HE HAS TAKEN ON A VERY SERIOUS LOOK.

Cole: "Wow...... it's decision time for the Stinger".

Hudson: "Words delivered as only The Undertaker can but if you ask me, Sting will be there at Main Event to follow the path of darkness, as the deadman put it"!

Cole: "Don't go anywhere, we'll be right back"!

A COLD, BLUSTERY WIND BLOWS ON A DARK SCENE WHICH IS SOON RECOGNIZED AS A CEMETERY. A DARK FIGURE COMES INTO THE SHOT, WEARING BLACK CLOTHING. HIS FACE SEEMS AS THOUGH IT's NOT EVEN THERE, BUT AS HE SPEAKS, IT's SOON RECOGNIZED AS GUNDAM.

Gundam: "Usually this scene is reserved for another TWF wrestler..... a supposed legend known as The Undertaker. But Jordan Rockwell, you are looking at the real deadman of this business, because as far as anyone knew, this is where I lie..... for years. In that time, several feelings built up inside me, but mostly hatred, hatred for the TWF and everything it stood for. Rockwell, you took on the role of the TWF's posterboy and all that bought you was a revelation of your fate. Your fate will come at WrestleMania, Rockwell, and you can go to bed tonight knowing one thing............

GUNDAM PULLS SOMETHING FROM HIS SIDE AND REVEALS IT TO THE CAMERA. A SHINY, YET EXTREMELY MENACING LOOKING KATANA SWORD.

I could care less about pinfalls, count outs or anything else...... go ahead, tell all the mindless drones that come to the TWF shows that you're going to make me tap out..... because again, I could care less. At WrestleMania, Rockwell...... I'm playing for keeps".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE WE ARE READY FOR OUR NEXT MATCH IN THE TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT.

Invitational Tag Team Tournament Semi-Finals

Kings of Wrestling vs. Knockout-Tapout Connection

Possibly the most anticipated match of the tournament, the crowd was buzzing for this one. Early on in the matchup, Tracy Smothers and Big Sal came out to take a look at the two teams in the ring. Elijah Burke started things off with Chris Hero and for around 4 minutes, PrimeTime saw some of the best chain wrestling in quite some time. Burke and Hero put on a mat wrestling clinic but once Hero began to get the best of it, Burke resorted to some underhanded tactics to gain control of the match. After a thumb to the eye, Burke landed some stiff jabs against the jaw of Hero before sending him to the ropes, drilling him with a clothesline. Burke made the tag to Terkay and then pulled Hero up, exposing his body by pulling his arms out and Terkay delivered a big right hand to the midsection. After a headbutt put Hero on the mat, Terkay went for an elbow but Hero rolled out of the way. Hero rolled out of the way of a second elbow and found himself in his corner, slapping the hand of Claudio Castagnoli. Castagnoli came in and after back to back clotheslines on the Manbear, he seemed to be measuring him for something. Burke came into the ring and jumped onto the back of Claudio. Castagnoli was able to flip Burke over his head but Terkay was up and kicked him in the gut. He then went for an irish whip but Castagnoli reversed it and leveled Terkay with a bicycle kick. This was the turning point of the match as the crowd began to really get behind KOW. Hero tagged back into the ring and nailed Terkay with a flying wheel kick before going to the apron. But before he could follow the move, Burke came over and jacked his jaw with a right hand. Terkay moved over and grabbed Hero under the right arm, flinging him into the ring. After a sharp kick to the ribs of Hero, Terkay tagged out to Burke and the two sent Hero to the ropes. Hero ducked a double swinging backhand and then grabbed Burke, delivering his nasty Cravate buster. Terkay attacked from behind but that brought Castagnoli into the ring and he destroyed Terkay with his Swiss uppercut. Terkay immediately fell to the mat and rolled out of the ring. Hero then went over to Burke and picked him up, delivering the "Hero's Welcome", a sure end to the match, and it was.

Match Time: 7:08

Hudson: "Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli, the Kings of Wrestling, have done it! What a win for these two as they are now headed to the tournament finals"!

THE KINGS OF WRESTLING's THEME SONG PLAYED AS THEY STOOD IN THE RING, LOOKING ACROSS THE ARENA AT THE F.B.I.

Cole: "On the countdown to WrestleMania special of TWF's Main Event, it will be these two teams battling it out for a shot at the undefeated BoogeySaints"!

Hudson: "And if you ask me, the key to that tournament final will be Castagnoli and Hero having to deal with that five hundred plus pound Big Sal Graziano".

BACKSTAGE.......

CHAOS WOLF IS SHOWN TEARING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA, STILL FIRED UP. HE TURNS OVER A TRASH CAN AS HE HEADS DOWN A HALLWAY WHEN SUDDENLY, HE IS BLINSIDED AND RAMMED INTO THE WALL. AXL IRVIN HAS ATTACKED HIM FROM BEHIND AND HE IS ALL OVER HIM. AFTER OVERWHELMING WOLF, AXL PICKS UP THE TRASH CAN THAT HE FLIPPED OVER AND SLAMS IT RIGHT ON HIM. AXL THEN WALKS OFF, LEAVING CHAOS WOLF LYING AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

KEVIN THORN AND ARIEL HAVE COME OUT AND ARE READY FOR ACTION.

Hudson: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have no idea what the hell is going on in the back, but that was Axl Irvin from Rampage who just attacked Chaos Wolf in the back"!

Cole: "Chaos Wolf's night continues to get stranger. After losing to Zack Ryder, he then destroyed Ryder out here, which is why we have no announce table and now this"!

"MISTERRRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KENNEDY COMES OUT TO AN ROUSING OVATION. HE HAS A VERY DETERMINED LOOK ABOUT HIM AS HE EYEBALL's THORN.

Hudson: "There is one spot remaining in the WrestleMania Jackpot match after Chris Jericho claimed one of them earlier".

Cole: "And these two men have some history together.... all you have to do is go back to the history of the Royal Rumble match to see the times these two men have crossed paths".

Hudson: "Some are saying, Michael, that this is the most star studded field we've had for the WrestleMania Jackpot match".

Cole: "It's hard to argue that I mean we've got Dolph Ziggler, Christian, Ken Doll, Chris Jericho and Carney..... whose gonna join 'em"?!

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualification Match

Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel vs. Mr. Kennedy

This match had it all as these two men went at it tooth and nail for the final spot in the Jackpot match. Kennedy and Thorn both connected with big blows but Thorn was able to land the biggest shot first, catching Kennedy with the move at one time known as the Boss Man Slam. From there, Thorn leveled Kennedy with elbow drops and stomps to the chest before pulling him up and right into a clothesline. Thorn used several chokes to slow Kennedy down more. He threw him into the corner and choked him once again but suddenly, Kennedy lifted Thorn up over his head with everything he had left, backdropping him over the top rope and to the floor. Kennedy went to the outside and from the apron, flew off with a clothesline to take out Thorn. After pulling PrimeTime's vampire to his feet, Kennedy threw him face first into the steel ring post. Thorn was able to roll into the ring but was in a lot of pain. Ariel tried to sneak up from behind but Kennedy saw her and waved his finger at her. After getting into the ring, Kennedy waited for Thorn to get up and then nailed him with a nice roundhouse kick. Thorn slowly got to his knees but Kennedy came around and grabbed him in a front facelock, delivering a nasty short DDT. He rolled Thorn up and got a very near fall. Thorn was whipped into the corner and Kennedy came in, still very aggressive. Looking much like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Kennedy kicked away at the midsection of Thorn, knocking him to a seated position. From there, Kennedy ran in and just booted the face of Thorn. Things were going all Kennedy's way as he shouted "Kennedyyyyyyy" to the cheer of the crowd. After a scoop slam, Kennedy seemed ready to put on the finishing touches, going to the outside of the ring and to the top rope. He flew off with his Ken-Ton Bomb but Thorn was fortunate enough to move out of the way. Despite all the punishment he had taken, Thorn got up with an almost psychotic look in his eyes. Kennedy got up to his feet but Thorn went into a different mode. After drilling Kennedy with a barrage of right hands, Thorn grabbed him by the throat and delivered a ring rattling chokeslam. Kennedy popped up rather quickly and threw a wild right hand that missed everything before Thorn made him pay with a torcher rack backbreaker. Thorn, now looking even more deranged, got Kennedy up above his head and put him down with the Crucifix Powerbomb. He crawled over into a cover, hooking the outside leg and getting the pinfall.

Match Time: 9:28

Cole: "What a match..... what a match".

Hudson: "Kevin Thorn has advanced into the WrestleMania Jackpot and I gotta tell ya, this guy may be the favorite to win it".

THORN AND ARIEL LEFT THE RING, NOT EVEN ALLOWING HIS HAND TO BE RAISED.

Cole: "Well for once I'm with ya. I like a lot of the guys in that Jackpot match but I've never seen the side of Kevin Thorn we just saw. That was downright scary".

THE FAMILIAR NATIVE AMERICAN CHANT OF TATANKA's THEME COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. HE HAS WITH HIM A BRIEFCASE.

Cole: "What the heck is this about"?

Hudson: "Tatanka, who has been scarcely seen of late, is on his way out here and he's got a briefcase with him".

Tatanka: "I was asked to be here tonight and I was asked to bring something. Ya see, The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and I are no longer friends..... heck, we're not even acquaintances, but I do like the way he things. PJ Cash...... I know you're back there, so if you would, come on out here".

Cole: "What the heck does this have to do with PJ Cash"?

MOMENTS LATER, "HYSTERIA" BY MUSE COMES ON AND THOUSANDS OF BOOING FANS MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD AS PJ CASH COMES OUT. HE HAS A BRIEFCASE OF HIS OWN WITH HIM.

Hudson: "Well here comes the self proclaimed PrimeTime Prodigy and this should be very interesting".

CASH ASKS FOR A MICROPHONE AND IS HANDED ONE BEFORE HE WALKS BACK, MEASURING TATANKA UP.

PJ Cash: "Well this is just great...... as if Perry Saturn wasn't bad enough, now some Indian wants my money, right"?

Tatanka: "Look, I know you've talked to Dibiase and so have I. He asked me to bring something here tonight..... something you might have an interest in".

TATANKA OPENS THE BRIEFCASE AND LAYS IT ON THE MAT. INSIDE IS THE INFAMOUS MILLION DOLLAR TITLE BELT.

Tatanka: "For those that don't remember, I am the current holder of this title.... but it means nothing to me! I know what.......

PJ Cash: "Wait a minute, bring me up to speed here..... what do you want"?

Tatanka: "What do I want...... I want my people to be afforded better things..... I want my people to enjoy the things I have in life! But because this belt is the property of the TWF..... I can't sell it. So I offer you this........

PJ Cash: "Oh wait, you're offering me a shot at that belt for my fifty grand? Hell yeah I'll........

Tatanka: "No, that's not what I'm offering. You come out here all the time and talk about all the money that you have. Fifty thousand? You're gonna have to up the ante big time".

PJ Cash: "Oh, so you come out of some teepee in God knows where and show up on PrimeTime for the first time in what, six months and you're the one making the demands? Cool. But in that case..... you're on. I will offer one million dollars of my own money and you put up that belt"!

Hudson: "Now we're talkin'"!

TATANKA SEEMS TO LIKE THE PROPOSAL AND HE AND CASH SHAKE HANDS. BUT THE SECOND TATANKA TURNS AWAY, CASH SMASHES HIM WITH HIS BRIEFCASE.

Cole: "Oh there we go......... how's that taste Tatanka"?!

CASH THEN STANDS OVER TATANKA AND POURS THE CONTENTS OF HIS BRIEFCASE, THE ORIGINAL $50,000 ON HIM. HE THEN SCREAMS "THE MONEY MEANS NOTHING TO ME"! IN TATANKA's FACE.

Hudson: "Can you believe where this has gone? We have a new match for WrestleMania"!

Cole: "The Million Dollar title which, quite honestly I'd forgotten about, has been put up against one million dollars of PJ Cash's money"!

Hudson: "But here's my question..... why does Ted Dibiase have anything to do with this"?

ANOTHER PROMO FOR TWF MAIN EVENT, THE WRESTLEMANIA 12 SPECIAL IS SHOWN.

The camera shows a shot of ringside where the daughter of the late Eddie Guerrero along with Joe Hennig, the son of Mr. Perfect and TWF official Arn Anderson are all seated at ringside.

"Save Me" by Burn Halo hits and Jordan Rockwell makes his way out in his street clothes and he his accompanied by his wife Lita to a big pop.

Rockwell shakes hands with Hennig and Anderson and embraces the Guerrero daughter before getting into the ring with his wife.

Jordan Rockwell: "Very soon it will be WrestleMania time where I will go one on one with Gundam in Denver Colorado, the home of Travis Wakeman!

The fans boo......

Now I'll get to him in a moment, but as you can see here at ringside are my invited guests in the form of TWF official Arn Anderson along with the son of the late, great Mr. Perfect..... Joe Hennig.

The fans cheer.......

And lastly is Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of the late, great and my friend Eddie Guerrero!

The fans begin "Eddie" chants.....

Now the reason I flew Shaul and Joe out here tonight and asked Double A to come out is for you Gundam, because the fact is their families know all about loss and sacrifice because Eddie and Curt literally gave their lives so that people like us could have a job to come to and the honor of entertaining all of the fans who afford us the ability to do so with their hard earned money every time. And Arn, he once again literally broke his body and more specifically his neck so we could follow in their footsteps.

The fans cheer......

But, you have the gall, the nerve, the audacity ah hell you got the balls to come out here and say you don't care about that or them, you have the God damn nerve to disrespect them along with Road Warrior Hawk, Owen Hart, Gorilla Monsoon, Brian Pillman and the countless others who have sacrificed for you.

The fans boo.......

Gundam, I want you to understand me when I tell you that I just can't allow that to happen, I will not allow you to disrespect like that because much like them I make those sacrifices as does a guy like Randy Orton or a John Cena or Edge and you want to say I need to think about this before I get in it well fact is that I'm gonna personally take your threats, guarantees, ultimatums and shove them along with my foot right up your ass!

The fans cheer....

Cause at WrestleMania........ Kid, you're going to wish you really were dead!

Rockwell puts his arm around his wife.........

Now as you all know, this is my wife and the mother of two of my three children, and she knows all too well about my sacrifice because while I'm here or traveling around the world she is at home taking care of everything including raising our children. Now Wakeman, as far as you go, I'm not going to come out here and tell any stories because I'm just not in the mood and because this is not about entertaining and that is because that is business, between you and me it's all personal and that's what it really is with all this crap that's gone and is going on. Oh yeah, it's personal because I leave my wife and family to go on the road with this company because I love this company and this business more and more everyday.

The fans cheer.....

And you come out here week after week running your mouth like you're a God damn big shot, well get this through your head douchebag, I don't care what the name plate on your door says and I don't care about who it is you think you are because it is not about business. No it's not! You hide in your ivory tower and you send your minions after me and I send them back to you broken, battered and bruised because that's what I do. Someone puts up a wall and I knock it down! And I know they say those that don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it and I know you and I have a secret which I won't let you forget because the days of me trying to get you to do the right thing are over.

The fans cheer.......

Once I put Gundam and all his threats to bed...... I'm coming for whoever I need to until you all realize that messing with me was a huge........ huge mistake".

ROCKWELL PUTS THE MIC DOWN AS "SAVE ME" PLAYS AGAIN AND ROCKWELL ESCORTS LITA OUT OF THE RING.

Hudson: "I don't think we've seen that side of Jordan Rockwell before".

Cole: "Ah cry me a river...... does anyone really care what this tool has to say? I can't wait until WrestleMania where Gundam makes Rockwell's worst nightmare come to life".

Hudson: "Don't go away folks..... we're not quite out of time yet"!

RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE.......

AS WE HEAD TO RINGSIDE, WE HAVE NO TIME TO HEAR FROM OUR BROADCAST CREW AS "CAPRICORN" BY 30 SECONDS TO MARS HITS THE LOUDSPEAKER. OGDEN IS WEARING HIS SIGNATURE BLACK "MEMORY MAKER" HOODIE, AS WELL AS A PAIR OF JEANS AND WHITE TENNIS SHOES. OGDEN WASTES NO TIME IN HEADING TOWARDS THE RING AND GRABBING A MICROPHONE.

M.X. Ogden: "Seven years... I've spent the past seven years giving my blood, sweat, and tears to the TWF, and you know what? I've done so in a way that none of you can call anything but incredible. I was just seventeen years old when I was offered a developmental contract, and I proceeded to prove myself deserving of the moniker "The Memory Maker" from the sound of the opening bell. I held the SMW Championship longer than any man in the history of that territory, and I proceeded to lead one of the greatest factions in the history of the TWF, The Hart Family. Then, at just eighteen years old, I shocked the world and I won the 2005 King of the Ring. Two months later, I had the King of Cable Title wrapped around my waist. Since then, I've become a two-time Rampage Tag Team Champion, won and innovated matches that have changed the landscape of the TWF, and defeated seven different men who have held a World Title here in the TWF. I'd say eight, but we all know Chaos Wolf as ECW World Champion really means nothing.

Ogden puts the microphone down and shrugs his shoulders, drawing a mixed reaction from the hot Phoenix crowd. AFTER TAKING A FEW MOMENTS TO ALLOW THE FANS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES, OGDEN PRESSES THE MICROPHONE BACK AGAINST HIS LIPS AS HE CONTINUES SPEAKING.

Fast-forward to today, I'm your reigning, and proved to be deserving, TWF Intercontinental Champion. I defeated the undefeatable Chris Jericho, and I proved my reign was no fluke when I absolutely decimated Chaos Wolf. Then, just a few days later on Primetime, I was finally granted what I've deserved since I first got here... I was given my spot in a World Title Match. The moment I've been working towards for the past seven years is finally here, and you know what? I'm not gonna let it slip by. I'm not going to Wrestlemania to enjoy my weekend, and I'm sure as hell not going to Wrestlemania to be a part of a great match. I'm going to Wrestlemania for one reason and one reason only, and that's to become the TWF Universal Champion.

THE CROWD SHOWS A SURPRISING LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR THE MEMORY MAKER, WHOSE PASSION SEEMS TOO CONTAGIOUS FOR THE ARIZONA CROWD TO RESIST DISPLAYING THEMSELVES.

It doesn't matter who you put in front of me, what types of obstacles I must overcome, as I've done for the past seven years, I will talk the talk, and come Wrestlemania, I will walk the walk until my footprints are found in the record books as a World Champion. And if I have to bring down my mentor and the TWF's poster child in the process, let me just say that this title win will be oh, so much sweeter than you could ever imagine.

OGDEN'S FAVORABLE CHARACTER IS ONE FANS AREN'T USED TO, BUT STILL CAN'T HELP BUT SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION OF. THE FANS CHEER AS OGDEN'S SMILE WIDENS ONLY FOR OGDEN TO QUIET THE CROWD AND BEGIN TO SPEAK IN A MORE SERIOUS TONE.

But you know what? It wasn't an easy road to redemption. As many of you know, nearly a year ago to the day, I was fired by the TWF.

THE CROWD IMMEDIATELY ERUPTS IN A THUNDEROUS CHORUS OF BOOS, SHOWING THEIR EXTREME DISPLEASURE WITH THAT MEMORY. OGDEN NODS HIS HEAD, MAKING A FACE THAT SIGNALS HIS SIMILAR DISPLEASURE.

I had finally cracked under the pressure of appealing to the corrupt leaders of this crazy company, and I threatened to pull the plug on Rampage's live broadcast. You know what happened next? I did it. Because of that, I was granted a spot in a Triple Threat Match for the TWF Title, in which I was scheduled to face both Jason Oliver and Matt Cruz. Right after hearing that great news, though, Money Mike decided to throw it right back into my face and have his henchman do what he could never truly do: take me out. He had them beat me to a pulp, and when he thought he had me at my lowest point, his parachute... Excuse me, Stephanie McMahon... Told me that I could either kiss Money Mike's boot, or I could get the boot. I responded with words that could not be duplicated, and you know what happened next? I was banished. I was gone, and the TWF didn't see me for quite some time. One day, however, I decided to pick up my phone and call Travis Wakeman and do what I never thought I'd do... I made a deal with the devil.

MOST FANS ARE UNCERTAIN OF HOW TO REACT TO THIS STATEMENT, BUT THE TRUE DIEHARDS CAN BE HEARD BOOING THIS AS THEY KNOW HOW RISKY A MOVE THAT IS.

Now I know I've done some questionable things... I don't think my ex-valets appreciate getting a Memory Maker or catching me backstage having sex with their best friends. I sure as hell don't think Alex Shelley appreciated getting his tripod busted over his head, either. But that's neither here nor there, because my bond with those people was plain and simple... We both had something to offer each other, and as soon as that ran out, I put an end to it. The most unpredictable man in wrestling? Yeah, I'd say I am. Disloyal? Not a God damn chance.

FANS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN OF HOW TO REACT, AS OGDEN SIMPLY CARRIES ON WITH WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

See, the deal I signed with Travis Wakeman was quite simple. Wakeman and I agreed to a contract as long as I paid off my debt to the TWF. When he asked me if I had any idea how to do so, I told him that I would be a lot more valuable to him than anyone he's ever signed. I told Wakeman that I would handle the one problem that The Empire had yet to solve, I told Wakeman that I would take out their number one enemy and they'd never have to hear from him again. I told Travis Wakeman with my eyes fixed on his, If you want John Cena to be taken care of, you sign that contract and I’ll do you one better; I’ll take him out.

THE FANS ERUPT IN BOOS, ERUPTING IN CHANTS OF "CENA!" AND "ASS HOLE!" DIRECTED TOWARDS OGDEN. OGDEN SEEMS SHOCKED BY THESE CHANTS, REACTING WITH AN ATTITUDE. OGDEN IS SNARLING AS HE SAYS CENA'S NAME, BOILING OVER IN RAGE. JUST AS HE GETS THE NAME OUT, THOUGH, "MY TIME IS NOW" HITS AND THE ROOF COMES OFF OF THE US AIRWAYS CENTER. JOHN CENA IMMEDIATELY EMERGES FROM THE BACK, DONNING HIS SIGNATURE RED "NEVER GIVE UP" T-SHIRT. CENA RUNS DIRECTLY FOR THE RING AND THROWS HIS HANDS INTO THE AIR, GETTING RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF A RELENTLESS M.X. OGDEN. OGDEN STANDS HIS GROUND AND CENA STARES AT HIM WITH THE EYES OF A MAN ON A MISSION. CENA FINALLY BREAKS THE STAREDOWN AFTER NEARLY 20 SECONDS BEFORE GRABBING A MICROPHONE.

John Cena: "You go on and on and on about how deserving you are of this opportunity, but tell me, kid, what have you done here besides stab people in the back? And please, please tell me how I sold out, because I'm pretty sure you sold out as quickly as tickets to a Suns-Lakers game".

M.X. Ogden: "Enough with your stupid remarks to get on the good side of the fans, they're the most pathetic attempts at acceptance that I've seen in my entire life. You want a metaphor? I'll give you one. You're as fake as the fabric your shirt is made with, and quite frankly, John, you're a hypocrite for even wearing it".

John Cena: "I'm a hypocrite? Indulge me with this, it ought to be hysterical. Tell me how I...

M.X. Ogden: "You stood up for the TWF against The Empire, against Joe Corey, and against any foe it ever faced. You stood up for it, and you know what? You stood tall. You represented what every wrestler should be: dedicated, loyal, and most importantly, true to himself. But you know what? All of that was a mirage".

OGDEN TAKES A FEW STEPS TOWARDS CENA, ONLY FOR CENA TO TAKE A STEP FORWARD HIMSELF. OGDEN SMIRKS AND BACKS UP A BIT BEFORE SPEAKING AGAIN.

You've always spoke about the Cenation and how you do it for the people, John, but when the people really needed you, you weren't there. When you were in an ongoing war against The Empire and there was very little support on your side, I felt for you. I really did, John, and you know what? I'd be lying if I told you that my actions on the night where I pulled the plug on Rampage weren't partially influenced by you".

John Cena: "And I applaud you for that. I looked at you that night and I saw a guy tha....

M.X. Ogden: "Yeah? You looked at me that night? What about the night that I got fired"?

CENA LOOKS PUZZLED, NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO RESPOND TO OGDEN'S QUESTIONS. OGDEN KEEPS PRESSING ON AS CENA LOOKS AT HIM ATTENTIVELY.

I know you came out here tonight with full intentions to beat my face in, but you know what John? You've already done that. I stood up as your support, I stood up as a soldier in the war against The Empire, and you know what the self-proclaimed General did when his soldier was being torn apart, limb by limb, and strand of hope by strand of hope... Do you know what you did, John? Do you? If you're not going to answer, then that's fine, because I've got the answer right here for you...

OGDEN REACHES INTO HIS POCKET, SEEMINGLY REACHING FOR SOMETHING. OGDEN SEEMS TO BE DIGGING DEEP BEFORE PULLING HIS HAND OUT AND SWINGING IT TOWARDS CENA'S DIRECTION.

NOTHING! You didn't do a God damn thing as I was beaten to a bloody pulp and nearly forced to kiss another man's shoes. The general, the leader, the face of the TWF wasn't even there for one of his brothers in arms. Explain that to me, John, please do, because I'm a little on edge and I'm pretty sure you're aware of what I can do when I'm pushed too far"!

THE CROWD IS SHOCKED BY THIS STATEMENT, LETTING OUT A COLLECTIVE "OH!" AS CENA IMMEDIATELY PLACES THE MICROPHONE TO HIS LIPS.

John Cena: "You were...

JUST AS CENA BEGINS TO SPEAK, OGDEN SWINGS HIS MICROPHONE RIGHT INTO CENA'S SKULL. IN A SCENE REMINISCENT OF OGDEN'S FIRING, MEN INSTANTLY HIT THE RING AND BEGIN LAYING INTO CENA WITH BOOTS AND CLUBS TO THE BACK. THE MEN ARE REVEALED TO BE JUSTIN GABRIEL, TYLER REKS, AND VANCE ARCHER. OGDEN IS DIRECTING TRAFFIC AS RISING UNITED TEARS INTO CENA, UNRELENTING AS THEY STRIKE HIS MIDSECTION. OGDEN ORDERS ARCHER AND REKS TO HOLD CENA UP, THUS TAKING HIS MICROPHONE AND PLACING IT BACK TO HIS LIPS AS HE APPROACHES THE GROGGY CENA.

M.X. Ogden: "You think that you're angry, John? You think that you have revenge on your mind? The fact that you're still walking is enough to drive me completely insane! But you know what? The best part about being me is that I am confident that when I put my mind to something, I will achieve it. And John, I promise you that one day soon, I will put you out again. This time, though, will be permanent"!

OGDEN AND THE REST OF RISING UNITED STAND OVER CENA AS THE CROWD HASTILY BOOS. BUT SECONDS LATER, JOE COREY COMES OUT ON THE STAGE WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS A MICROPHONE. HE IS ALSO SPORTING A HUGE SMILE.

Joe Corey: "Oh boy..... this couldn't be better. Please, carry on..... continue beating the hell out of each other. Because while you guys are focused on ending one another's careers...... I've been focused on attaining the services to help manage my Universal title reign".

COREY TURNS TO THE ENTRANCE WAY AND THE CROWD POPS AS NONE OTHER THAN SUNNY COMES OUT IN A SHORT WHITE DRESS! COREY GRABS HER HAND AND SPINS HER AROUND. HE THEN PUTS HIS ARM OVER HIS SHOULDER AS THE TWO LOOK BACK AT THE RING SMILING.

Hudson: "Corey....... and Sunny"?!

Cole: "Fans we are all out of time..... don't miss TWF Main Event on NBC"!

OFF AIR..........
