SNME GOES LIVE AS SNME COMES ON THE AIR, STEPHANIE McMAHON AND NAILS ARE IN HER PRIVATE OFFICE. Stephanie:"Tonight's the night Nails, you are gonna regain what's rightfully yours"! Nails:"I only need one shot at the Hardcore title and tonight, Rob Van Dam is gonna get a beating he never got in ECW or the TWF so far! I'm gonna rip him apart"! Stephanie:"Yeah"! SUDDENLY THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. NAILS ANSWERS IT TO FIND BILL ALFONZO STANDING THERE. Nails:"Who the hell are you"? Bill Alfonzo:"I'm here to talk to Stephanie". Nails:"About what"? Stephanie:"It's alright Nails, let him in". STEPHANIE GETS UP AND WALKS TOWARD ALFONZO. Stephanie:"Bill Alfonzo, what brings you to my father's company? Ya know, all the janitorial positions are filled in this building". Alfonzo:"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about my man, Sabu getting a TWF contract". Stephanie: (laughs)"You're serious aren't you? Well the answer is hell no! My father will not be held responsible for Sabu's psychotic wrestling style. Now get the hell out of my office"! Alfonzo:"Just give him one chance. Even a match to earn a contract". Stephanie:"I said no"! Alfonzo:"Oh, wait a minute, you aren't even in charge of hiring and firing anymore are you"? Stephanie:"Don't even think about it". Alfonzo:"Well, we'll see what happens, but Sabu wants to compete in the TWF, hell, maybe he'll face this big goof you got in here with you". Nails:"What did you say"? SUDDENLY, NAILS HITS ALFONZO WITH A RIGHT HAND AND THEN RAMS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE WALL. Stephanie:"Get him out of here"! NAILS OPENS THE DOOR AND TOSSES ALFONZO OUT. SNME's THEME MUSIC AND MONTAGE VIDEO PLAY. THE NOISY ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AS A MATCHUP PICTURE APPEARS ON THE SCREEN FOR THE TWF TITLE MATCH TONIGHT BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD HOGAN AND SHAWN MICHAELS. Jim Ross:"Welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event here on NBC folks as we are live as live can be in Columbus, Ohio and tonight King, the TWF Title will be up for grabs as Hollywood Hogan has gotten his gauranteed rematch"! Jerry Lawler:"Well J.R., Hollywood is gonna make the most of that match and move into the main event at WrestleMania"! AN ENGIVE REVS UP AS HIGH OCTANE's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT WITH MOLLY. J.R.:"Opening things up here fans is gonna be a David versus Goliath battle and it was this man who this past week on PrimeTime, issued a challenge to a man that outweighs him by over two hundred and fifty pounds". "WELLLLLL....WELL IT'S THE BIG SHOW" HITS ALONG WITH THE BIG SHOW's PYRO AS HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Lawler:"High Octane certainly doesn't lack prise though J.R.. He doesn't care how big the Big Show is, he is saying that no one messes with Molly, regardless of size"! J.R.:"Well it looks like your mind is as clouded as his because the Big Show did not mess with Molly, he saved her from certain harm last week on RAW when these two were actually on the same team. But there goes the bell folks and this classic mismatch is underway". "High Octane" Damion West vs. The Big Show Big Show had much more trouble than expected with the elusive High Octane. After a dropkick to the knee, High Octane connected with a flying back elbow. With Big Show teetering, High Octane connected with the "Head on Collision" as Big Show finally dropped. High Octane went for a lateral press pin and Big Show muscled him off, nearly throwing him out of the ring. High Octane then went to the top rope and tried a cross body block but Big Show caught him in mid air and set him down in the corner. He then plastered his chest with a few tremendous hand slaps, leaving red marks all over the torso of West. He then blocked a right hand of West's and hit him with a big headbutt. Big Show whipped West into the ropes but put his head down too early. However, West made the mistake of going for a sunset flip and Big Show sat down directly on his face, squashing him to get the pin. Match Time: 7:14 Lawler:"Oh my god! He may have a broken sternum J.R."! J.R.:"I wouldn't doubt it after that, but why on Earth would you try and sunset flip the Big Show"! AFTER BIG SHOW LEFT, MOLLY CAME INTO THE RING AND HELPED HIGH OCTANE UP. Lawler:"Look at that J.R., see, she appreciates what this man does for her". J.R.:"Well I'd beg to differ there". Edge and Ahmed Walker vs. Christian and Mr. Perfect This one started with a great series between Mr. Perfect and Edge. Perfect blocked a right hand and tagged him with his hard knifedge chops and then threw him down with a hip toss. But Edge came back after ducking a clothesline and hit Perfect with a side jumping facebuster move. He then suplexed perfect and tagged in Walker. Walker and Perfect traded shots but after an eye gouge, Perfect tagged in Christian. Christian tried to irish whip Walker but he reversed it and hit Christian with a samoan drop. He then whipped him to the corner and charged in with a clothesline-bulldog combo and dropped a legdrop after bouncing off the ropes. Walker tagged in Edge who came in and kept the advantage in his teams favor, hitting Christian with the Edge-O-Matic. As soon as Christian got up, he charged Edge but Edge grabbed his arm and flung him into the corner. He followed that with the spear and covered Christian 1....2...., but Perfect came in to make the save. Walker joined the fray at this point and clotheslined Perfect out of the ring. Referee Mike Sparks forced Walker back to his corner right after Christian caught Edge with a reverse ddt on the knee. Christian then left Edge over the middle ring rope and Perfect grabbed a chair from ringside and cracked Edge with it. Christian then rolled him up for a quick pin. Walker came in and hit Christian with 3 right hands but Perfect came from behind and hit him across the back with the chair as well. Match Time: 13:15 Lawler:"Now that was perfectly executed J.R."! J.R.:"Christian and Mr. Perfect have picked up the win over Edge and Ahmed Walker with a steel chair as the mvp of the match"! Lawler:"It still goes down as a w in the win column J.R.:"! J.R.:"Well it doesn't earn them any respect, that's for sure". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... BACKSTAGE.... Cammie Copeland:"Well, just keep working with your brother, he's changed, but it's only temporary. You guys are a great team and you have something special together, don't let that get away". Jeff Hardy:"I'll do my best Cammie, hey, good luck against Jazz tonight". Cammie:"Thanks, I'll need it". ALL 4 MEMBERS OF EXTREME JAPAN PASS THROUGH AND MASA CHONO BUMPS INTO CAMMIE, KNOCKING HER BACK A STEP. Cammie:"Hey watch it"! CHONO TURNS AND LOOKS AT CAMMIE BUT BEGINS TO WALK OFF. Masa Chono:"Bitch". Jeff Hardy:"Hey, what'd you say"? JEFF TAKES EXCEPTION TO CHONO's COMMENT AND JUMPS HIM FROM BEHIND. BUT SOON, THE REST OF EXTREME JAPAN GANGS UP ON JEFF AS CAMMIE WATCHES IN DISBELIEF. J.R.:"Somebody get back there and stop this, it's four on one"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE... STRIFE AND BAHAMUT ARE WALKING TO THEIR DRESSING ROOM BUT WHEN THEY GET THERE, THE ACOLYTES ARE WAITING. Bahamut:"Wait a minute, what the hell is this"? Faarooq:"Hold up guys, we ain't here for a fight". Strife:"What do you want then"? Bradshaw:"We're here to admit to you both that we made a mistake when we thought you two were in collusion with the NWO". Faarooq:"Yeah guys, we apologize". Bradshaw:"So how about we take you two out for a beer"! Bahamut:"Ah we would, but we've gotta be here for something tonight". CHUCK AND BILLY's NEW THEME HITS AS THEY COME OUT TO SOME LOUD BOOS. Lawler:"What are those two referring to J.R."? J.R.:"I have no idea King, but during the break, Jeff Hardy made a tag team challenge to any two members of Extreme Japan during the break. "THE KINGS" BY RUN DMC HITS AS SEAN O'HAIRE AND ALBERT COME OUT TOGETHER. And speaking of tag team action folks, here comes Sean O'haire and Albert, the new member of the New Breed and what a win it woul be for them if they could knock off Chuck and Billy tonight". Lawler:"I'll go with Chuck and Billy J.R., they just look so much better as a team than those other two". J.R.:"Well Albert and O'haire may not be a conventional team, but they'll fight ya to the end". Chuck and Billy vs. Sean O'haire and Albert Former partners Palumbo and O'haire started this one with some intense action. After hitting Palumbo with a beautiful discus punch, Palumbo went for a super kick but O'haire caught his foot, spun him around and drilled him with a jumping side hook kick. He then hit him with a reverse torcher rack drop and a powerslam off an irish whip. O'haire was in a zone and as Billy came in to sneak up on him, O'haire caught him with an inverted atomic drop. But Palumbo came from behind and gave him a knee to the back. Palumbo tagged in Gunn who backed O'haire into the corner with some hard right jabs but as he came off the ropes, O'haire blasted him with a side kick and then tagged in Albert. Albert came in and hit Gunn with a double club to the head. He then whipped him into the corner and charged in with a big splash. Palumbo tried to come from behind but Albert caught him with a scissors kick. He then clotheslined Gunn out of the ring and O'haire went after him. O'haire then clotheslined Gunn into the crowd and the two brawled out there, all the while Gunn was the legal man. Referee Jack Doan counted him out and awarded the match to Albert and O'haire. But as O'haire came out of the crowd, Gunn came from behind and cracked a steel chair across his back. He then entered the ring and lowblowed Albert who had Chuck up for the "Baldo Bomb" and then dropped him with the "Fame-Asser". Match Time: 8:14 J.R.:"For god sakes, you talk about your sore losers King". Lawler:"Well they're upset J.R., Jack Doan handled that match very poorly". J.R.:"I've always been one that would vote for two referees in all tag matches but there's no call for an attack like that, especially from behind". Hayabusa vs. Spike Dudley This was probably the best match all night. Early on, Spike went for a baseball slide on Hayabusa but he moved and Yuji Matasamo, who came out with Hayabusa, pulled him out of the ring. He took a swing at Spike but Spike ducked and rammed Matasamo into the ring apron. He then got into the ring and hit Hayabusa with a russian leg sweep and a very high impact jumpind tornado ddt. He went for the cover but Hayabusa somehow kicked out at the very last second. Spike tried to finish Hayabusa off but when he went for the "Dudley Dog", Hayabusa threw him across the ring. Hayabusa then intentionally got in the way of referee Jim Korderas as Matasamo used a guillotine drop across the top ring rope as soon as Spike got up. Spike staggered backwards and Hayabusa scooped him up and dropped him with an amazing running powerbomb to get the win. Match Time: 7:12 Lawler:"It's a great night to be a member of Extreme Japan J.R., they can make it a clean sweep against Jeff Hardy and whoever his partner is later"! J.R.:"Well from my vantage point, Spike just got screwed! He had that match well in hand". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... Mean Gene Okerlund:"What a Saturday night of TWF action folks and right now, I am with the People's Champ...... THE ROCK TAKES THE MIC AWAY FROM OKERLUND AND PUTS A HAND TO HIS FACE. The Rock:"Goldust, one thing is for sure, The Rock hasn't forgotten your name and The Rock hasn't forgotten what you did to him in his dressing room. But Goldust, The Rock sure as hell hasn't forgiven either. CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. So Goldust, in three weeks, at the TWF's biggest spectacle, you and The Rock are gonna go one on one. You wanna be famous Goldust, you will be. You wanna be a star Goldust, here's your chance. Now here's the catch, you get to pick the match. Any match you want.

So Goldust, here's your chance to be a star, if you smell....what The Rock.....is cookin'". J.R.:"The Rock has challenged Goldust and he gets to pick the match"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK... PIPER's OFFICE... THE DOOR TO THE COMMISSIONER's OFFICE SWINGS OPEN AND SCOTT STEINER COMES IN WITH HIS NEWLY WON EUROPEAN TITLE. Scott Steiner:"You wanted to see me"? Commissioner Piper:"I sure did. First off, congratulations on becoming the new European champion, however, I'm here to burst your bubble big poppa pump. Now, it took help from your little friend Scott Taylor to take that title from Jeff Hardy, so here's what I've come up with. At WrestleMania, you're gonna put that title on the line, in a ladder match, against Jordan Rockwell". Scott Steiner:(laughing) "You think that burst my bubble"? Piper:"And just one other tidbit. If Scott Taylor even comes onto the entrance match during that match, you're both suspended for six months without pay". STEINER POUNDS THE WALL AS HE WALKS OUT OF THE OFFICE. Steiner:"This is crap"! JAZZ' MUSIC HITS AS SHE COMES OUT TO AN UNFAVORABLE REACTION. J.R.:"What a match that's gonna be at WrestleMania King". Lawler:"That's ridiculous J.R., making Steiner defend the title under those conditions"! CAMMIE COPELAND's MUSIC HITS AS SHE COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP. J.R.:"Why, cause he can't have his little buddy win the match for him"? Lawler:"Piper wants Steiner to prove it, he will, he doesn't need any help J.R.". J.R.:"Former women's champ Cammie Copeland has got her work cut out for her tonight against one of the most dominating women I've seen in wrestling". Lawler:"Jazz could beat a lot of the man in wrestling J.R."! Jazz vs. Cammie Copeland As soon as Cammie got into the ring, Jazz came at her with some hard former shots and a kick to the midsection. She then picked her up and dropped her over the top rope by her neck. She whipped Cammie in and went for a clothesline but Cammie ducked and went for a roundhouse to the head but Jazz ducked that and grabbed Cammie in a sleeper hold and then dropped straight down. Jazz then threw Cammie to the floor and rammed her head into the announce table before slamming her on one of the protective mats. She rolled her back into the ring and went for a high elevation legdrop but the gutty Cammie rolled out of the way and came back with some vicious kicks to the upper torso followed by a stiff savot kick to the face. After a spinning wheel kick, all the momentum had swung in Cammie's favor. She went for a flying headscissor takedown but Jazz just dumped her right off her shoulders. Jazz then pulled her in and planted her with a big powerbomb, a move she's called the "High Note" to get the win. Match Time: 6:53 After the match, Jazz made a gesture on her waist as if she wants a belt around it. Lawler:"Look out Terri Gold, you could be next". J.R.:"The path of destruction continues for Jazz as she impressively defeats in my estimation, the best women's wrestler the TWF has pound for pound". THE NWO THEME HITS AS NAILS SLOWLY WALKS DOWN THE AISLE. Lawler:"Here we go J.R., we're minutes away from crowning a brand new Hardcore champion"! J.R.:"Well the man who goes by the motto, it's hardcore or nothing has gotten the shot tonight to do just that. ROB VAN DAM's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE LOUDEST POPS ALL NIGHT. But it's not gonna be a walk in the park against this man". Lawler:"I'll give him credit, Rob Van Dam has been a good Hardcore champion but he hasn't faced Nails and if he had, he wouldn't have that title right now"! J.R.:"This will be a hard hitting war that could come down to who wants it more". TWF Hardcore Title Match Challenger.... Nails vs. Rob Van Dam Nails tried to get the jump from behind as RVD stretched in the corner but RVD ducked a right hand and went for a spinning heel kick. But Nails came up with a nice block of the kick and punched RVD right in the mouth with his free hand. He then got on him and began pounding the back of his head into the mat when out of the crowd came Sabu! He got into the ring with a steel chair and when Nails got up, he threw the chair in his direction and kicked it right in his face! The crowd came to it's feet as Sabu hit him with an unbelievable headscissors into a wrap around ddt followed by a spinning wheel kick by RVD that knocked him out of the ring. As Nails retreated, longtime rivals RVD and Sabu stared across the ring at one another as the crowd loudly applauded. Then, Sabu jumped out of the ring and left through the crowd as RVD's music hit and he got on the turnbuckle and did his thumbs to the shoulder taunt. Lawler:"What the hell is that man doing here J.R.! He should be in jail"! J.R.:"He was obviously seeking out Nails for what he did to his longtime friend and manager Bill Alfonzo earlier tonight". Lawler:"But they have no business here! They don't work for the TWF"! J.R.:"Wait a minute folks, something's going on backstage". BACKSTAGE CAMERAMEN PICK UP THE TAIL END OF A BRAWL BETWEEN TAZZ AND VLAD THE IMPALER WHICH IS BEING BROKEN UP BY OFFICIALS. VLAD HAS AN EVIL LOOKING GRIN ON HIS FACE. Tazz: (as he's being pulled away) "You son of a bitch! You wait"! Lawler:"What the heck happened back there"? COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... EXTREME JAPAN 2000's MUSIC HITS AS MUTA AND MASA CHONO COME OUT TO A TON OF HEAT. Lawler:"Well here's are answer J.R., this is the team Extreme Japan has selected to accept Jeff Hardy's challenge. But who's Jeff's partner gonna be"? Lawler:"Well Extreme Japan likes to think they're real tough, picking on women, they're nothin' but a bunch of bullies". THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AS JEFF HARDY COMES OUT TO HIS USUAL ROUTINE. HE COMES HALFWAY DOWN THE RAMP WHEN CARNEY COMES OUT AS THE HARDY's MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY. Lawler:"What the heck? I thought it'd be his brother Matt". Lawler:"From what I've been told, Matt is at another photo shoot with Stacy tonight but I like this team, they should give Extreme Japan fits". Masa Chono and Muta vs. Jeff Hardy and Carney Carney and Jeff Hardy hadn't teamed together often and the continuity of Extreme Japan prevailed. Carney and Muta started things off with Muta gaining the upperhand. After taking a beating from both men, Carney exploded off an irish whip and caught Chono with a flying clothesline. He then dropkicked Muta off the apron and tagged in Jeff. Jeff kept the pressure on Chono, flying across the ring with a hard right hand to the face. He then connected on a sit down jawbreaker followed by a double legdrop to the groin. But Muta came in and attacked Jeff from behind and soon all 4 men were in the ring. Jeff reversed an irish whip and sent Muta into the corner. Carney went and knelt in front of him as Jeff hit the Poetry in Motion. Carney hit Chono with a succession of right hands and then bounced off the ropes but Chono sidestepped him and threw him out of the ring by the back of his head. Chono then kicked Jeff right in the back of the head as Muta followed with a tiger suplex, dropping Jeff at a very awkward angle right on his neck for the pin. Match Time: 11:39 J.R.:"A valiant effort by team of Jeff and Carney but they couldn't spring the upset". Lawler:"Got any more big challenges Jeff"? The Rock vs. The Leviathan This had to be one of The Rock's hardest fought matches in his TWF career as he hit The Leviathan with everything but couldn't keep him down. After a kick to the abdomen, The Rock hit Leviathan with a snap ddt and then when he got up, he delivered the Pie Buster. But as he went for the "People's Elbow", right after throwing his elbow pad into the crowd, Leviathan grabbed him around the neck and got up off the mat. He then delivered a thunderous chokeslam. When The Rock got up, Leviathan drilled him with a running boot to the face and went for the cover. Referee Mike Chioda made the count 1.....2....., but at the last second, The Rock slipped a shoulder up. Frustrated, Leviathan threw a wild swing at The Rock but was caught and planted with the "Rock Bottom" for the second time in the match. This time, The Rock got the 3 count. Match Time: 8:53 But the celebration didn't last long. The Rock's music cut out as Goldust appeared on the TWF tron. Goldust:"Why hello Rock. It seems you've mad me an offer I can't refuse. I accept your challenge at WrestleMania for it will be on the grandest stage that I show the world who the star of the show is. But you are mistaken on one thing Rock, I am already a star, you're the one who wants to be one. So in that case, if you want a backstage pass to the set of my movie entitled "Death of the Brahma Bull", meet me at WrestleMania, in a Hollywood Backlot Brawl". GOLDUST DISAPPEARS AS THE TWF TRON TURNS OFF. THE ROCK HAS A CONCERNED LOOK ON HIS FACE. J.R.:"Goldust has accepted The Rock's challenge and made it a Hollywood Backlot Brawl"! Lawler:"The Death of the Brahma Bull, oh I can't wait J.R."! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... Mean Gene Okerlund:"Alright guys I'm here at this time with the current number one contender for the TWF Lightheavyweight title Justin Sane and Justin, at Code Red, I think the world realized why you have the name you have and not only that, they have reciprocated with a lot of respect in your direction". Justin Sane:"Well Gene, Code Red was a blast. To be in my hometown and wrestle in a backyard style match was definitely the highlight of my career. But one mistake cost me. I came back and became number one contender last week and Scott Taylor, this time, I won't make a mistake and WrestleMania 3 is gonna take the spot as my new career highlight". COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... J.R.:"Folks, we're back on Saturday Night's Main Event and during the break, a very heinous and disturbing attack took place in the arena parking lot, take a look". FOOTAGE SHOWN FROM DURING THE BREAK..... A LIMOSINE PULLS UP AND TRIPLE H GETS OUT WHERE HE IS GREETED BY HIS EX-WIFE, STEPHANIE McMAHON. Stephanie:"What the hell are you doing here? You don't have a match tonight". Triple H:"I gotta talk to Austin, like it's any of your business". Stephanie:"I can't believe I ever married such an asshole"! Triple H:"Oh yeah, well I'm down all the time because I was married to a complete bitch as long as I was. Of course, I should've been smart after I found out how easy you were, considering you went down on our first date". Lawler:"Hey"! Stephanie:"What did you just say to me"? Triple H:"Did I studder"? SUDDENLY, HELMSELY IS AMBUSHED FROM BEHIND BY VAL VENIS AND X-PAC. AFTER A SAVAGE BEATING, X-PAC SPRAYS SOME SORT OF CHEMICAL IN TRIPLE H's EYES. Stephanie:"How's that feel Hunter? Huh? Who went down this time"? EMT's ARE TENDING TO TRIPLE H AS THE SHOW GOES BACK TO LIVE ACTION. Triple H:"Ah, it burns"! Paramedic:"Don't rub your eyes, it'll only make it worse". J.R.:"There you see the EMT's tending to Triple H and obviously he'll be going to a local hospital here in Columbus, I still can't believe what Triple H's former best friend X-Pac just did". Lawler:"I still can't believe what Triple H said to Stephanie"! EVOLUTION IS IN THE RING AS THE NWO THEME HITS AND SCOTT HALL AND KEVIN NASH COME OUT TO THE LOUDEST BOOS OF THE EVENING. J.R.:"Well folks, back to the action as you see Hall and Nash coming out here and when is enough gonna be enough. The young team Evolution versus The Outsiders is coming up and we saw what Hall and Nash did to Nova and Frankie Kazarian on PrimeTime". Lawler:"Wait minute J.R., this has nothing to do with the NWO, Evolution made this challenge". J.R.:"Well I hope it's not one they regret but speaking of challenges, the buzz around the arena and in the back earlier today was all about a challenge Hall and Nash have put out to the tag team champs, Strife and Bahamut for WrestleMania". Lawler:"Oh yeah J.R., Hall and Nash wanna pummel those two first hand for what they did on PrimeTime". J.R.:"If the challnege is accepted it'd be a true clash of the titans". Evolution vs. The Outsiders The match started with a furious Evolution team trying to get a head start on the Outsiders. But Nova was taken completely out of the match right off the bat as he tried to leap on Nash off the turnbuckle to the floor but Nash moved and Nova slammed into the barricade. Hall and Nash then took turns hammering Kazarian as Nash blasted him with a big boot and Hall used the fallaway slam. After some vicious elbows to the head by Nash in the corner, Kazarian was hit with the "Outsider's Edge" and pinned. Match Time: 2:17 Lawler:"Take some notes Strife and Bahamut, this could be you"! J.R.:"Wait a minute King, look". STRIFE AND BAHAMUT APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP. Bahamut:"So Outsider's, you don't like it when you get a taste of your own medicine huh"? Strife:"In case you boys have been in the closet together for the last five months, which is entirely possible, we've been the tag team champions the whole time and we've ran through all the competition this company has put in our way". Bahamut:"What the big man is trying to say is this, Hall and Nash, you're on at WrestleMania"! THE CROWD GOES NUTS AFTER HEARING THIS J.R.:"Oh my, that's a main event in itself"! Hall:"Well don't sing it, bring it". "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS. Bahamut:"Oh believe this, at WrestleMania, I'd say we're gonna bring it". STRIFE AND BAHAMUT TOSS THEIR MICS DOWN AND WALK BACKSTAGE. Lawler:"I think Strife and Bahamut just spelled their doom J.R."! J.R.:"Undoubtedly the biggest tag team match in TWF history will go down at WrestleMania 3"! AL SNOW's MUSIC HITS AS HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. ONCE IN THE RING, HE GRABS THE HOUSE MIC. J.R.:"Al Snow is back in the TWF and these fans seem to love it". Lawler:"What's he got a microphone for"? J.R.:"Gee King, ya think he wants to talk"? Al Snow:"Now it seems as though we have a problem. I leave for a couple months and when I get back, someone stalks then attacks my friend Maven. Whoever you are, you don't know how much of a coward you really are. Or are you? Why don't you prove to me that you're not and show your face, now"! Lawler:"He's demanding that Maven's assailant come out here"! J.R.:"I'd love to see who it is".! SUDDENLY, THE LIGHTS DIM AND A RED LIGHTS IN THE ILLUSION OF BLOOD STARTS TO DRIP FROM THE TWF TRON. DREW BLOOD APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE ENTRANCE WAY AS AL SNOW IS SHOCKED. J.R.:"What the... Drew Blood:"It was me Snow, it was me. The only reason you were hired back by this company is because of me. I looked up to you as one of the guys who really understood how this business works, how to earn respect, so I put in a good word for you. But did I even get a thank you? No, you were too busy with your friend Maven". Al Snow:"But I didn't..... Drew Blood:"Shut up"! Crowd:"Ohhhhh". Drew Blood:"Ya see Snow, it's not often I get a chance to express myself, I only do so when extremely necessary. You have disapoointed me. You have changed my original perception of you. You care only for yourself, nothing else". J.R.:"That's not true". Drew Blood:"So I have two challenges. The first is to Maven, let's see how much you've taught him. I'm gonna give him a chance to get noticed, on RAW is WAR, I want him one on one. Then, at WrestleMania, I'll deal with you. So I can make you feel the same way you've made me feel". DREW BLOOD DISAPPEARS INTO THE DARK ENTRYWAY. Snow: (very somberly) "I accept". Lawler:"Wow, this just got a lot weirder J.R.". J.R.:"Well Snow has accepted the challenge, does that mean Maven has as well"? RETURN FROM BREAK.... "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL AND LITA COME OUT TO A TREMENDOUS POP. J.R.:"We're back on RAW and the crowd is still buzzing over what just happened between Drew Blood and Al Snow". Lawler:"I think it's the fact that no one really understands it J.R.. There's obviously a lot of behind the scenes buildup that we don't even know about here". j.r.:"Well here is the man that found out he will challenge for the European title in a ladder match at WrestleMania against the man who tried to ruin his career at the Survivor Series". Jordan Rockwell:"Alright, WrestleMania is just a couple weeks away and the buildup starts tonight. Scott Steiner, tonight, Commissioner Piper informed you of your match and guess what, it happens to be against me. Now you may have gotten the better of me at Code Red, but trust me Steiner, all that did was make me hungrier. At WrestleMania, nearly five months of frustration is gonna be unleashed on you because I will beat you and beat you and then I will climb the ladder, rung by rung and grab the European title". A SIREN BLARES AS SCOTT STEINER APPEARS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP TO SOME VERY LOUD BOOS. Scott Steiner:"Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you just say you're gonna beat me and beat me some more"? Rockwell:"Damn right". Steiner:"Rockwell, you are so stupid. You want my title so bad, but did you ever stop and think that the reason you're in this situation is because of what you already have"? J.R.:"What's he talkin' about"? Steiner:"See, she may not admit it, but years ago, Lita was one of my freaks. I know everything about her. Her and I went through weeks of training and sometimes, the training got a little hot and sweaty if you know what I mean. ROCKWELL TRIES TO GO AT STEINER BUT LITA HOLDS HIM BACK. But when she heard that I had signed a major contract with this company, what did she do when I called her? She said, I don't want anything to do with you, I have a real man now. Well there's your real man Lita. All it took was a guy he thought was his friend to help mastermind the attack and we did it. It was so perfect. But it was intended to keep you out for good. At WrestleMania Rockwell, I'm gonna make sure you are put out for good. But when he is Lita, I don't want you. Oh no, I've found a new main freak and on RAW is WAR, I will introduce her to both of you. Not only is she prettier than you Lita, but she can kick your ass too! That leaves me just one question Lita, is that chump in the ring with you worth it"? LITA NODS HER HEAD YES AS STEINER's MUSIC HITS. J.R.:"Oh boy folks, this one is getting very personal! These two are gonna mame each other"! Lawler:"Lita used to be one of Steiner's freaks"! J.R.:"Well I don't know if I buy all that. It could be Steiner playing mind games and by the look on Rockwell's face, it's working". Lawler:"Who's gonna be his new freak J.R."? J.R.:"Who knows, but whoever it is, will be introduced on RAW". THE NWO THEME HITS AS CHRIS BENOIT COMES OUT. Lawler:"Well I can't wait to find out, I love freaks"! J.R.:"It was a couple weeks ago when this man survived a six way war to earn this match for the Intercontinental title but King, of all the members of the NWO, this is the man that disappoints me the most as at one time, I had a ton of respect for Chris Benoit". Lawler:"Well Rhyno is no slouch J.R., wait a minute, look"! J.R.:"Oh my... someone is coming from above"! AFTER BENOIT ENTERED THE RING, A MAN LOWERED DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS ON A CABLE AND CAME TO REST BEHIND HIM IN THE RING, IT WAS NEMESIS! HE THEN PULLED A BLACK BASEBALL BAT OUT OF A TRENCH COAT AND HIT BENOIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT. A VENGEFUL NEMESIS STRUCK BENOIT WITH IT SEVERAL TIMES, LEAVING BENOIT IN A TON OF PAIN. NEMESIS WALKED AWAY WITH A VERY STOIC LOOK ON HIS FACE WHICH WAS HIDDEN BY WHITE AND BLACK FACE PAINT. Lawler:"I can't believe this J.R.! Arrest that man"! J.R.:"Nemesis, who was put out of action by Chris Benoit and the NWO around a month ago has returned and taken out Benoit"! Lawler:"You'll pay for this Nemesis, you can count on that"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... J.R.:"We're back on Saturday Night's Main Event and during the break, Commissioner Piper received an important phone call and there you see Piper and one of his assisstants, Tony Garea". Tony Garea:"Who was on the phone Hot Rod"? Piper:"It was the president of the UFC". Garea:"Really, what'd he want"? Piper:"Well, he wants his title back". Garea:"What'd you tell him"? Piper:"I told him I'd work something out". THE NWO THEME HITS AS HOLLYWOOD HOGAN COMES OUT WEARING A BLACK AND WHITE FEATHER SCARF. J.R.:"Make what you want to out of that folks but apparently, the president of the UFC was very demanding". Lawler:"Well speaking of titles J.R., the NWO's been gettin' screwed all night long and this is the one, Hogan's deserved this match since five minutes after Code Red"! J.R.:"The NWO's been gettin' screwed. Gimme a break King". "SEXY BOY" HITS AS SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT WITH THE TWF TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Lawler:"Hold on to that belt as long as you can Michaels, it's goin' back home in a few minutes"! J.R.:"Why don't you just be quiet King! I've had about all I can handle of this pro NWO crap! We got a match to call"! TWF Title Match Challenger.... Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Shawn Michaels The match started with a collar and elbow tie up and Hogan took advantage after an eye gouge. He whipped Michaels into the ropes but Michaels scored with a flying forearm as he came off. He picked Hogan up but Hogan got a shot into the ribs and then body slammed him when the sound of an engine roaring was heard and The Undertaker rode out on his Titan motorcycle. Referee Earl Hebner tried to prevent The Undertaker from entering the ring as he was on the apron but Undertaker picked him up and flung him to the floor. He then got in and grabbed Hogan around the throat, chokeslamming him hard to the mat as the crowd came out of their seats. But before he left, Undertaker turned around and chokeslammed HBK as well as the crowds cheers turned to boos! "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit hit as Undertaker got back on his bike and rode to the top of the ramp, raising his arm in the air. Lawler:"What the hell is The Undertaker doing! He's got his spot in WrestleMania"! J.R.:"This crowd doesn't know what to think of this man, but he's made one thing very clear, this is still his yard"! OFF AIR.....
