TWF Uprising: Live from the TWF Livewire Inn UPRISING's LOGO POPS UP ON THE SCREEN AND IT's STARTING MONTAGE ROLLS SHOWING THE TWF, mFw AND SMW LOGOS. FANS ARE LINED UP OUTSIDE THE LIVEWIRE HOPING TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH LATER WHEN THE SCENE SHIFTS TO FOOTAGE FROM EARLIER TODAY OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT OF A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN ARIES AND THE PATRIOT. THE PATRIOT IS GETTING OUT OF HIS VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT AND HAS JUST GRABBED HIS BAG WHEN HE IS APPROACHED BY ARIES. The Patriot: "Hey, good luck in our match tonight". Aries: "I need no luck to beat you. Who are you trying to fool with your mask and your weak Patriot Missile move? Do you have any idea what it's like to be in war? You make me sick and tonight, you will step into my battlefield. We'll see what that missile does for you there". THE PATRIOT's EYES SHOW SURPRISE BEHIND HIS MASK AS ARIES WALK AWAY. INSIDE THE ARENA, FANS ARE SHOWN HAVING A GREAT TIME GETTING READY FOR THE ACTION AS AL SNOW AND THE HONKY TONK MAN COME OUT ON THE STAGE. Al Snow: "Welcome to Uprising fans as we are about thirty minutes away from PrimeTime which is in Tacoma, Washington and I don't know about you Honky, but I love watching that show"! Honky Tonk Man: "Well what about this show? We just saw the confrontation between Aries and The Patriot of SMW and tonight, they go one on one"! Snow: "I've been looking forward to that match ever since I heard and then saw what happened but let me tell you Honky, The Patriot is no slouch, Aries better be prepared". Honky Tonk Man: "Well switching the subject here a little, I was challenged today by that ignoramus Jerry Lawler to a match at Widespread Panic and I accepted. Then the TWF made it a lumberjack match"! Snow: "You're gonna face Jerry Lawler, in the ring? Oh that oughta be good"!
SMW Match: Essa Rios vs. Mike Sanders
In a match that was nothing like a traditional lightheavyweight match, Rios hit his top rope moonsault on Sanders to get the 3 count.
Aries vs. The Patriot of SMW
Aries viciously took it to the Patriot but got a ittle too cocky and the fans got behind The Patriot and he got backing into it, giving Aries all he could handle. But after getting his foot on the rope after the
Patriot Missile, Aries almost decapitated The Patriot with a kick to the head when he went for it again. That led to the "Land Mine" and a 3 count victory for the God of War.
Frankie Kazarian w/ Nova vs. Masahiro Chono w/Muta
Kazarian was no match for Chono for
much of the match until he caught him out of nowhere with a jumping enziguri after ducking a clothesline. Muta tried to get involved and hit Kazarian with
his tag team belt but Nova came and pulled him off the apron. As Muta and Nova fought on the floor, Chono reached over the ropes and tried to grab
Nova when Kazarian rolled him up from behind and got the 3 count and a big upset. Chono and Muta were furious as Nova and Kazarian hobbled up the ramp
in victory. Honky Tonk Man: "That wasn't fair! Those two punks cheated"! Snow: "And what would you have called it if Muta connected with that tag belt? Nova and Kazarian have beaten Chono and Muta at their own game and ya gotta wonder when they're gonna get a shot at regaining those belts. But PrimeTime is just seconds away fans and it's gonna be a great show so don't go away! And don't miss Widespread Panic because my partner here is gonna get it handed to him by the King"! Honky Tonk Man: "You wanna bet Snow"? THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK AND THE PRIMETIME LOGO IS SHOWN. "RAP SUPERSTAR" PLAYS INTO PRIMETIME's MONTAGE WHICH SHOWS ALL THE STARS OF THE SHOW. THE LOUD ARENA IS SHOWN AS ORANGE FIREWORKS BLAZE OFF THE SET. Michael Cole: "Hello everyone and welcome to PrimeTime which again has been sold out here at the Tacoma Dome and Brain, we got a big show tonight"! A PROMO WITH THE PRIMETIME LOGO POPS UP WITH CHRIS BENOIT ON ONE SIDE AND BROCK LESNAR ON THE OTHER. Bobby Heenan: "Just look at this match fans, look at this! This match is worth the price of admission alone"! Cole: "It's gonna be the Crippler versus the next big thing"! THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO THE BACK. BACKSTAGE..... JIM CORNETTE IS GETTING A CUP OF COFFEE WHEN HE IS CONFRONTED BY DYLAN JANSENS. Jim Cornette: "Uh, can I..... Dylan Jansens: "Shut up Cornette! I wanna know where my katana is and I wanna know now"! Cornette: "Listen, I had nothing to do with it. All I'm gonna say is someone found out how much that thing was worth and realized they shouldn't have given it to you". Jansens: "Well, they made the biggest mistake of their life cause now they gotta deal with me". Cole: "Well I'd hate to be whoever took the thing but Jansens has gotta have a clue now". Heenan: "I'm surprised it was a gift. I figured with his rap sheet, he probably stole it too"! Cole: "What rap sheet? Folks we're gonna take you back to last week when Al Laiman was able to pull off a big win over Charlie Haas, take a look". A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF THE MATCH. CHARLIE HAAS' MUSIC HITS. Heenan: "Well it's because of that loss that this man has demanded a rematch. It was a fluke". AL LAIMAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A DECENT POP. Cole: "Maybe so, but I don't think it was. This guy here is loaded with talent and once he figures out how to use it to the best of his ability, watch out".
Charlie Haas vs. "Universal" Al Laiman
The bell rang and the match started with a collar and elbow tie as Haas used a go behind which started a series of basic chain wrestling which Haas eventually got the best of. After an amatuer takedown, Haas locked in a side headlock that was very close to
being a choke. Referee Charles Robinson was not able to tell that it was and he allowed him to keep the hold on. Despite all the pressure Haas had on
him, Laiman worked his way to a vertical base and was able to throw Haas off his shoulders. He then hit a spinning kick to the head followed by a hard,
whiplash arm drag. But when Laiman went for a heel kick, Haas ducked
and he struck Robinson. After a belly to back suplex, Haas locked in the "Haas of Pain" and Laiman was tapping out but Robinson was down. Haas went
over to get him up but that gave Laiman the opening he needed to get back in the match. But as Robinson still tried to recover, Haas used a go behind and
then low blowed Laiman. That led to the Exploder suplex and Haas hooked the leg for the win.
Match Time: 6:30
Cole: "And a great match has ended
that way! What a competitor Haas is huh"?!
Heenan: "Hey, it's not his
fault the ref went down, he actually won that match twice"!
Cole: "Well
Haas has won this return match and these two have now taken one apiece from the other". BACKSTAGE.... DREW BLOOD ENTERS THE ARENA FROM A SIDE ENTRANCE WEARING HIS BLACK CLOAK AND CARRYING THE TWF UNIVERSAL BELT AS THE CROWD INSIDE BOOS. BUT AFTER TAKING A FEW STEPS, HE MEETS UP WITH RHYNO. Rhyno: "Look, just because we won that tag team match last week does not mean I like you, got it"? Drew Blood: "Do you think I give a damn? I don't like anyone, even my own mother. I don't need anyone, never have, never will. But I'm not the one you wanna take all this aggression out on. I've heard Batista say for a long time how bad he wants to whip your ass and he's just waiting for a good time to do so. Maybe you should go take this out on him, rather than wasting your time with someone who could care less that you're even here". DREW BLOOD WALKS AWAY AS THE SCENE SHIFTS TO CORNETTE's DRESSING ROOM. INSIDE, KID GUNDAM AND HAYABUSA ARE TALKING WITH CORNETTE WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS ENTERS. Cornette: "Hold on here a minute, what the hell do you want"?! Shawn Michaels: "It'd be a wise move to get out of my face, jack! I came here to talk to these two. Gundam, Hayabusa, I'm sick of you two constantly breaking the rules. Gundam, last week I asked you to stay out of Hayabusa's match and what'd you do. And don't think I don't know that you two gave access to whoever came in here and took Jansens' katana. Carney had a lot of useful information. And while I can't prove you two are the ones who laid him out last week, I can tell you that Shane has made a match for Widespread Panic involving you two, with my influence. So with that said, at Widespread Panic in Singapore, you two wil get to face my good buddies, the Road Warriors. Have a good evening gentlemen. MICHAELS STARTS TO WALK OUT THE DOOR. Oh, and if any of you break one rule tonight, all three of you are suspended for six weeks without pay". MICHAELS EXITS AND CORNETTE SLAMS THE DOOR BEHIND HIM AS PRIMETIME GOES TO COMMERCIAL. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE's OFFICE... SHANE IS AT HIS DESK WHEN THE HURRICANE ENTERS. Shane: "Yeah Hurricane, what's up"? Hurricane: "You mean, what's up wit dat"? Shane: "What"? Hurricane: "Never mind. I'm here because the originator of Mattitude, Matt Hardy couldn't make it tonight because he is stuck in traffic or something. So he asked me to fill in for him tonight against Chris Tirpak". Shane: "Okay, then by all means, the match is on". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL IS IN THE RING AND THE CROWD IS BOOING. Cole: "Well The Hurricane will replace Matt Hardy in that match tonight but right now we've got Crystal Carmichael in the ring and she's ready to say something". Heenan: "How noble of The Hurricane by the way". Crystal Carmichael: "I'm sure you all are wondering what happened between me and Travis Wakeman in that room last week. Well, lucky for Trish, she came in just in time. But Trish, you aren't gonna interrupt everything. Ya see, Travis desires me and there's nothing you can do about that. He sees me for everything you're not, ya know, real. So Trish, next time, knock before you come in, we'll let you know if we're decent". TRISH's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT. Cole: "Oh boy". Trish Stratus: "If he's desires you so bad, then why hasn't he been staying with you. He told me not to do anything, or I'd be down there..... Carmichael: "Trish, save it alright. You don't know me or where I came from and trust me, I've been in there with some tough women. But I have a question for you girl. Why didn't he come to the arena with you tonight? Are you sure his story is legit"? TRISH STANDS THERE NOT KNOWING WHAT TO SAY. Cole: "He's not here, where is he"? Heenan: "What's his story"? THE SCENE GOES BACKSTAGE WHERE SECURITY IS BUSTING UP A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN RHYNO AND BATISTA. BACK AT RINGSIDE, KID GUNDAM's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND JIM CORNETTE COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "Well it didn't take long for Rhyno to get in Batista's face". "619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDER THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Heenan: "Think of all the intensity that would be in the ring in that one"! Cole: "Well here's a match that I've been looking forward to all day but what about the news that Gundam and Hayabusa must face the legendary Road Warriors AT Widespread Panic"? Heenan: "Well Shawn Michaels is throwing his weight around already is all that is"! Cole: "If Gundam, Hayabusa or Cornette break any rules tonight, that match won't even happen! They'll be suspended"!
Kid Gundam w/Jim Cornette vs. Rey Mysterio
This may have been Rey's best match in the TWF as his frantic pace threw Gundam off and he desperately
tried to slow him down. After a wheel barrow bulldog, Rey used the ring ropes as a springboard and sat down right on Gundam's chest after coming down from over 10 feet in the air. Rey then whipped him to the corner and
charged in but Gundam countered a monkey flip by taking a step forward and dropping Rey face first on the top turnbuckle. Gundam then slowed things
down as he stomped away at the chest of Mysterio, softening him up for his dreaded knifedge chops. After 3 knifedge's, Gundam whipped him to the corner
and charged in but Rey moved and dropkicked him in the back, knocking him over the middle ring rope as the crowd came to their feet. Rey cupped his
hands to his mouth and shouted "619" when Cornette got on the apron. But Rey ducked a tennis racket swing and Cornette nailed Gundam right when he got up
on accident. Rey then knocked Cornette to the floor and hit Gundam with the 6...1...9, hooked the leg and got the win.
Match Time: 5:49
Cole: "Rey Mysterio has won it! That win could catapult him way up the ladder here on
PrimeTime"!
Heenan: "Don't get mad at Corny Gundam, he didn't do it on purpose"!
Cole: "It's probably a good thing Cornette hit Gundam and cost him that match! Had he connected, it would've been a direct violation of the rules"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... BACKSTAGE.... CAMERAS CATCH RAVEN AND KANYON ASSAULTING CHRIS BENOIT. BENOIT TRIES TO FIGHT BACK BUT IT's NO USE AS THEY LEAVE HIM LAYING. Cole: "What the hell? They're just softening Benoit up for Lesnar! This is ridiculous"! Heenan: "That is brilliant"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... Cole: "We're back on PrimeTime fans and just before we went to break, Chris Benoit was mugged by Raven and Kanyon! Something needs to be done about these guys"! SHANE's OFFICE.... SHANE IS TALKING TO SEAN O'HAIRE WHEN DYLAN JANSENS ENTERS. Dylan Jansens: "Shane, is Carney okay"? Shane: "Well like I was telling Sean here, other than a few bumps and bruises, he's okay and should be back soon. However, I am obligated to give Jamal and Rosey their match tonight that was supposed to be against Carney ond O'haire. So Sean.... Jansens: "I'll team with Sean. I got Carney into this, I'll take his spot". Sean O'haire: "Hell yeah, alright man". O'HAIRE AND JANSENS SHAKE HANDS. Shane: "Then that's it, the match is set". ARENA ENTRANCE.... TRAVIS WAKEMAN ARRIVES AND FRANTICALLY LOOKS AROUND BEFORE SEEING A STAGEHAND. Travis Wakeman: "Have you seen Trish around here tonight"? Stagehand: "She was out at the ring arguing with that Carmichael girl not too long ago". Wakeman: "Ah hell"! WAKEMAN TAKES OFF IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE HURRICANE IS STANDING IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING. CHRIS TIRPAK's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND BRADSHAW STEP OUT TO A GOOD POP. Cole: "I think Wakeman might have some explaining to do Brain". Heenan: "It's night for that, probably cause we're in Tacoma. Matt Hardy is stuck in traffic, who knows what happened to Wakeman"? Cole: "Well Matt's absence is the reason The Hurricane will face Chris Tirpak right here for him". The Hurricane vs. Chris Tirpak w/
Bradshaw
The Hurricane was overmatched but made up for it by combatting Tirpak's power with his speed. But after
absorbing Hurricane's quick strike attack, Tirpak caught him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before dropping a big leg on him. That led to a
delay vertical suplex before Tirpak just launched him over the top rope to the floor. Hurricane immediately grabbed his lower back in pain and Bradshaw
made his way over to him to check on him. But referee Chad Patton turned around and saw Bradshaw standing over Hurricane who seemed very hurt. Patton
motioned to Bradshaw to get backstage which lit Tirpak up. He got in Patton's face and seemed like he was gonna strike him when Hurricane came from behind and pulled Tirpak back for the "Eye of the Hurricane" and hooked the leg as Patton was right on top of it and made the 3 count.
Match Time: 3:49
Cole: "Oh for crying out loud! The Hurricane is fine"!
Heenan: "That was genius! Tirpak fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book! Matt's gonna love this"!
Cole: "Well Tirpak and Bradshaw have been
outsmarted by The Hurricane but in the end, I tink he'll regret this decision". KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS AND FIREWORKS AND PYRO GO OFF AS HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Cole: "Well we have just learned that Rhyno and Batista will go one on one tonight but here is what we've been waiting for! As promised, Kurt Angle"! Heenan: "Let's hope he's coming to sign with PrimeTime"! Kurt Angle: "Boy does it feel good to be back! After months and months of wrestling nobodies, I'm finally back in the big time. Now the last time I was here, we all went at it under one roof and now, I gotta make a selection. Which show is better, RAW or PrimeTime? Well I gotta admit, there's some good things and some bad things on both shows. I mean, on RAW, you've got that idiot Goldust licking another man's freakin' shirt for god sake! Oh but right here on PrimeTime, you've got two punks that do who knows what to each other, in a group called Mattitude! But there's some familar faces that I look forward to working with and even though Shane announced that I came here tonight to sign with PrimeTime, I am keeping my options open. I haven't decided yet which show to sign with. But at Code Red, I will. So Shane, you wanna do everything in your power to see to it that your Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, ends up on this show, wooooo"! KURT's MUSIC PLAYS AGAIN. Cole: "Well I must say, I'd love to have Kurt here on PrimeTime"! Heenan: "PrimeTime is already so much better than RAW, this would distance us even further"! Cole: "Don't go away folks cause coming up next, Dylan Jansens and Sean O'haire will team up against Jamal and Rosey"! RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... MATT HARDY COMES IN THROUGH THE ARENA DOORS IN A HURRY IN STREET CLOTHES AND CARRYING A DUFFEL BAG. HE SEES IDALIS. Matt Hardy: "Idalis, Idalis, when's my match"? Idalis: "What match"? Matt: "Against Tirpak, I'm supposed to wrestle him tonight but the idiots in this town need to learn how to drive"! Idalis: "Hurricane wrestled him for you". Matt: "He what? Where the hell is he"? MATT WALKS AWAY AS THE SCENE SHIFTS BACK TO RINGSIDE. "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND JAMAL AND ROSEY COME OUT TO A NOT SO WARM WELCOME. Heenan: "Don't worry Matt, he won"! Cole: "Well Matt didn't seem happy but here's a couple guys that are never happy". A BLACK DRAGON APPEARS ON THE PRIMETRON AND BREATHES FLAMES AS "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK HITS. DYLAN JANSENS AND SEAN O'HAIRE COME OUT TO A GOOD POP. Heenan: "Well they've been waiting for this one, even if Carney is not here"! Cole: "Carney and O'haire have been a thorn in Jamal and Rosey's side for weeks and tonight, Carney is out due to the attack he suffered last week so Jansens steeped in for him, feeling responsible". Heenan: "Well if Carney didn't open his big mouth, it would've never happened"!
Dylan Jansens and Sean O'haire vs. Jamal and Rosey
Before the bell rang, O'haire and
Jansens tried to talk strategy when Jamal and Rosey mobbed them. They took advantage of the fact that it was their first time teaming together and they
never let them get into a rhythm. But when Rosey missed a big splash on Jansens, he was able to roll to the corner and tag in O'haire who came in
and went to work on Rosey with right hands until Jamal reached in and pulled him to the mat by his hair. Rosey then slung him to the corner and tagged in
Jamal who whipped the massive Rosey right into O'haire, crushing him. That led to the throw up samoan drop and it seemed like it was all over but
Jansens came in to make the save. After Jansens was forced back to his corner, Jamal and Rosey illegally double teamed O'haire, wearing him down with their size. Rosey hit his reverse gas mask and tagged in Jamal who went upstairs for his High Rise splash but O'haire was very fortunate to roll out
of the way. Both men were down and they both made it slowly to their corners and made tags. But Jansens ducked a clothesline by Rosey and caught him with
a calf kick followed by a rolling senton splash. Jansens then went for an irish whip which Rosey reversed but O'haire was able to make the blind tag.
Jamal came in and tossed Jansens to the floor after Rosey clotheslined him. But after Jamal followed Jansens out, an unsuspecting Rosey turned around to
O'haire who picked him up and hit "Cruel Intentions" to get the 3 count.
Match Time: 10:22
Heenan: "What the hell happened"?
Cole: "There was a blind tag! O'haire and Jansens have won this thing"!
AS REFEREE JIM KORDERAS ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN TO JAMAL WHAT HAD JUST TRANSPIRED,
A VICTORIOUS JANSENS AND O'HAIRE WALKED UP THE RAMP. Heenan: "I never saw a tag"! Cole: "You never see a lot of things"! BUT AS O'HAIRE AND JANSENS WALKED UP THE RAMP, THE PRIMETRON CAME ON AND SHOWED TRISH LAYING ON THE FLOOR BACKSTAGE AND THE LOWER HALF OF JORDAN ROCKWELL WALKED AWAY! JANSENS AND O'HAIRE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER BEFORE RUNNING BACKSTAGE. Heenan: "Wait a minute, did you see that"?! Cole: "That was Trish! What the hell did Rockwell do"?! BACKSTAGE.... THE HURRICANE IS GETTING HIS STUFF TOGETHER WHEN MATT HARDY COMES UP AND SPINS HIM AROUND. Matt Hardy: "What the hell are you thinkin'"? Hurricane: "Oh Matt, you should've been there, I defeated our villian, Chris Tirpak with my hurri-powers". Matt: "I didn't give you permission to fill in for me". Hurricane: "Oh but Matt, I won and I made the era of Mattitude look that much better in doing so". Matt: "Look, I am the originator of Mattitude. You are a sidekick! You hear that, a sidekick". MATT WALKS AWAY LEAVING HURRICANE CONFUSED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "Well get ready Brain cause here comes the pain". Heenan: "This is gonna be the night Brock Lesnar begins to emerge as the top star here on PrimeTime"! Cole: "Well that's a bold prediction Brain but ya gotta wonder how much this attack will affect this matchup". RAVEN AND KANYON's ATTACK ON CHRIS BENOIT FROM EARLIER TONIGHT IS REPLAYED. "WHATEVER" BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS AND CHRIS BENOIT COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Heenan: "He probably said something he shouldn't have to those two. Brock didn't have anything to do with it". Cole: "Well I have a hard time believing that one. But speaking of Raven and Kanyon, listen to this. Shane has asked Rob Van Dam and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to team together tonight to take them out"! Heenan: "Those two on a team? Shane really is getting desperate"!
FONT COLOR= "WHITE">Chris Benoit vs. Brock Lesnar
Benoit got in some early offense and nearly won it when he snuck in a small package. But after he landed very awkwardly on his neck and shoulder area after a backbody drop, it was all Lesnar. A clothesline seemed
to about knock Benoit's lights out but Brock was intent on delivering maximum punishment. After Benoit went limp in the vise grip bear hug, Lesnar
delivered an overhead belly to belly suplex before referee Tim White could check his arms. But the worst was yet to come as Lesnar picked him up and
delivered a russian neckbreaker as the "oohs and ahhs" were let out of the crowd. But with each move, Lesnar grew more powerful and up next came the
"F5" and a merciful end to the match.
Match Time: 6:45
Cole: "Now that was scary. I respect Tim White and every call he's ever made but that match
should've been stopped, Benoit was hurt"!
Heenan: "He's still hurt"!
Cole: "I've never seen Benoit picked apart in that
manner".
Heenan: "Look out PrimeTime, there's a monster on the loose"! BACKSTAGE... TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES DOWN THE HALLWAY AND FINDS TRISH. Travis Wakeman: "Trish, Trish, what's wrong? HE PICKS HER UP BUT SHE IS OUT. What happened to you? Somebody help! Somebody help now"! THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK BEFORE THE INSIDE OF A HOSPITAL IS SHOWN IN BLACK AND WHITE AND PATIENTS, DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE SCATTERING THROUGH THE BUILDING IN A PANIC. THE BACKS OF 2 MEN WEARING STRAIGHT JACKETS ARE SHOWN WALKING SLOWLY. THE PSYCH WARD COMING TO PRIMETIME. BACK AT RINGSIDE, BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "The Psych Ward is coming Brain and I've heard a little about these guys, they seem dangerous". Heenan: "Well they'll fit right in the way things have been going". Cole: "Well what a war this should be and what I wonder Brain is if Batista even made those comments about Rhyno". RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Heenan: "Well whether he made them or not, I know he's up for a fight"! Cole: "Well Rhyno looks like he's about to oblige him"!
Rhyno vs. Batista
The bell sounded and the haymakers were being thrown until Batista got a knee in the gut followed by a hard clothesline. But Rhyno popped right up and asked for more. Batista threw a right hand but Rhyno blocked it and drove him to the corner with a lot of force before drilling him with some rapid shoulders to the midsection. But after Rhyno turned and raised his arms up, Batista caught him with a hard spinebuster. But Batista was off the mark on an elbow drop and Rhyno picked him up and powerslammed him to the mat. The power struggle continued until Batista kicked Rhyno in
the gut and set him up for his sit down powerbomb. But Rhyno punched his way out of the predicament and after ducking a heavy clothesline, Rhyno bounced
off the ropes and leveled him with the "Gore" to get the 1.....2.....3.
Match Time: 7:19
Cole: "Oh what a match! I'd love to see
that again"!
Heenan: "Oh who wouldn't"?
Cole: "Wait a minute, what's Drew Blood doing out here"?
DREW BLOOD ENTERED THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR
AND PULLED RHYNO ASIDE, ACTING LIKE HE WAS GONNA STRIKE BATISTA BUT HE TURNED AND LEVELED THE MANBEAST!
Heenan: "What the hell"?!
DREW BLOOD THEN PULLED THE HOOD OF HIS CLOAK DOWN AND LOOKED OVER AT BATISTA. AFTER A LONG STARE,
THE 2 SHOOK HANDS BEFORE BATISTA DELIVERED THE SIT DOWN POWERBOMB TO RHYNO.
Cole: "What is going on between these two"?!
Heenan: "This is a reunion! Batista used to be the crypt keeper for Blood"!
Cole: "Well I thought they hated each other! Apparently there's been a reconciliation"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE... TRISH IS LOADED UP ON A GURNEY AND WHEELED INTO THE BACK OF AN AWAITING AMBULANCE. WAKEMAN IS ABOUT TO GET IN WITH HER WHEN CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL COMES UP. Crystal Carmichael: "Travis, hold on". Wakeman: "What"? Carmichael: "I know this must be hard for you". SHE GIVES HIM A BIG HUG. Wakeman: "Okay, I gotta go". WAKEMAN JUMPS IN THE BACK OF THE AMBULANCE AND IT SPEEDS AWAY WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS AS CARMICHAEL IS SHOWN SMILING. Cole: "What is with this woman"? COMMERCIAL..... A PROMO FOR WIDESPREAD PANIC IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... SHANE's OFFICE.... AS PRIMETIME RETURNS, SEAN O'HAIRE ENTERS SHANE's OFFICE. Sean O'haire: "Shane, I don't know what the hell is going on. I can't fight Jordan anywhere, but his gear is in our dressing room". Shane: "Jordan? Jordan Rockwell"? O'haire: "Uh, yeah". Shane: "He called me a couple days ago and said he wouldn't be here. He went to a knee specialist to get some advice". O'HAIRE LOOKS AT SHANE IN DISBELIEF AS THE SCENE CUTS TO RINGSIDE WHERE RAVEN's MUSIC "END OF EVERYTHING" BY STEREOMUD IS PLAYING. Cole: "What in the heck is going on tonight? Nothing makes sense". Heenan: "You can say that again. We're in Tacoma, land of the humanoid! What'd you expect"? "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. Cole: "Well we've got one more match to call and here comes Rob Van Dam! Shane has asked RVD and the rattlesnake to team together and stop Raven Enterprises tonight and I think Shane's mindset is clear Brain. He doesn't want Raven Enterprises to get out of control the way Wakeman Enterprises did"! Heenan: "Well it's a mistake to have RVD and Austin team together! They can't stand each other"! Cole: "Wait a minute, Austin's not even out yet"! RAVEN AND KANYON ATTACKED RVD IN THE AISLE BEFORE THE BELL RANG AND RVD SUSTAINED A BEATING FOR ALMOST 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE GLASS BROKE AND AUSTIN's MUSIC HIT. HE CAME OUT AND HIT ANYTHING THAT MOVED. FINALLY, EARL HEBNER GOT SOME CONTROL AND SENT AUSTIN TO HIS CORNER AND THAT BELL SOUNDED. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam vs. Raven Enterprises Still shooken up, RVD spent a lot of time on the mat, taking a beating from Raven and Kanyon who worked very well together. After a swinging neckbreaker, Kanyon tagged in Raven who came in and dropped a big knee but RVD kicked out at 2. Austin was beside himself trying to tag in but Raven and Kanyon weren't about to allow it. Finally, RVD caught Raven with a step over heel kick and then he hit him with the Rolling Thunder before tagging in Austin who came in like a man possessed, drilling both men with right hands before his signature elbow on Kanyon. Raven tried to whip him to the ropes but Austin reversed it and caught him with the Thesz press. Austin then hit Kanyon with a Stunner and he fell back through the ropes to the floor. Raven came from behind with a shot to the kidneys but Austin ducked a right hand, kicked him in the gut and scored with the Stunner on him. As Austin backed up, RVD tagged himself in and hit Raven with the "5 Star Frogsplash" and got the 1...2..3. Match Time: 12:38 Cole: "RVD and Austin just made Shane a happy man! What a win"! Heenan: "But look at Austin, he's not impressed"! RVD BEGAN TO DO HIS SIGNATURE POSE WHEN HE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND FROM KANYON. AUSTIN JUST WALKED AWAY BEFORE RAVEN DELIVERED THE EVENFLOW DDT. RVD WAS DOWN ON THE MAT AS AUSTIN CONTINUED TO WALK AWAY. "END OF EVERYTHING" PLAYED AND RAVEN AND KANYON STOOD IN THE RING OVER RVD. Heenan: "He doesn't really look like a winner does he"?! Cole: "Austin has left RVD to be decimated by Raven Enterprises! This is the second time he has done this to him"! Heenan: "Are you sure these are the two you want Shane"? ONE LAST SHOT OF RAVEN IS SHOWN AS THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK AND THE TWF COPYRIGHT LOGO APPEARS. OFF AIR....
