SNME GOES LIVE
AS SNME COMES ON THE AIR, TRAVIS WAKEMAN BURSTS INTO SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE WHERE SHANE AND BROCK LESNAR ARE TALKING. Travis Wakeman:"Hey Shane, you've got some explaining to do"! Shane McMahon:"Oh really, what about"? Wakeman:"My Toughman title defense at Foul Play that you signed this morning". Shane:"What, are you afraid of Hardcore Holly"? Wakeman:"No I'm not afraid of him, what I wanna know about is the stipulation you added for the match". Shane:"You must mean where your precious little Trish is barred from ringside. That stipulation"? Wakeman:"Yeah, that stiplation. She has a manager's license to be down at ringside for all my matches". Shane:"Let me put it to you like this. She has had a hand in all your toughman matches and like I said Wakeman, that title will be defended regularly once I take over. At Foul Play, the toughest man is gonna win, period. Now she may have a valid manager's license, that's fine, but I'm in charge and what I say goes, you got it"? Wakeman: (gets in Shane's face) You little.... SUDDENLY BROCK LESNAR MOVES SHANE ASIDE AND GETS IN WAKEMAN's FACE. AN IRATE WAKEMAN THEN LEAVES THE OFFICE. SNME's THEME MUSIC AND MONTAGE VIDEO PLAY AS THE ARENA IS SHOWN BURSTING WITH FIREWORKS. Johnathan Coachman:"Hello fans and welcome to a special edition of Saturday Night's Main Event as we are live in Grand Rapids, Iowa and what a show we have tonight as we head to Foul Play and the huge TWF Title match between The Hulkster and The Undertaker"! A MATCHUP PICTURE IS SHOWN OF TONIGHT's TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT. Mike Norton:"Well tonight Coach, the deadman is gonna team with Big Poppa Pump to take on those chumps Hogan and The Rock". Coachman:"Two other big matches tonight folks as the game Triple H goes one on one with the Intercontinental champion Rhyno in a non title match and Drew Blood will tangle with the Texas Rattlesnake "Stone Cold" Steve Austin! But folks, just like last week on PrimeTime, Yuji Matasamo and Hayabusa have slapped America in the face by ruining the National Anthem. Take a look at what happened just before we came on the air tonight". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF A LOCAL IOWA TEENAGER READY TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WHEN MATASAMO AND HAYABUSA COME OUT AND MATASAMO COMES UP AND SNATCHES THE MICROPHONE FROM HER. THEY THEN WAVE JAPANESE FLAGS AS THE CROWD BECOMES VERY HOSTILE. THE OLD EXTREME JAPAN THEME HITS AS HAYABUSA AND MATASAMO COME OUT WITH THEIR JAPANESE FLAG. Coachman:"That to me is just absurd! Something needs to be done immediately and someone needs to tell these two that you don't treat Americans like that"! DYLAN JANSENS THEME BY BON JOVI HITS AS HE COMES OUT TO A WARM RECEPTION. Norton:"Well I'm a proud American Coach and I respect Hayabusa and Matasamo as athletes but what they're doing is wrong. Someone is gonna have to step up and let them know that". Coachman:"Well Dylan Jansens is gonna be the first to step up because at Foul Play, A FOUL PLAY MATCHUP PICTURE OF DYLAN JANSENS AND YUJI MATASAMO IS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. he'll face the former leader of Extreme Japan Yuji Matasamo. But Norton, I wonder if Matasamo will have the same two on one advantage that Hayabusa has against Jansens tonight". Norton:"Matasamo's not gonna do anything. Jansens just needs to focus on Hayabusa". Coachman:"Matasamo has no reason to be out here but I love how these fans have warmed up to Jansens. Now Jansens is not American born but he certainly has a lot of love for this country as he's lived here for a few years now. But tonight, he's got a big match with Hayabusa that he can't overlook". Hayabusa vs. Dylan Jansens After absorbing a barrage of martial arts kicks to the body, Jansens went to his strategy of attacking the legs of Hayabusa with a dragon leg whip right into an achillies lock. Hayabusa worked his way up to a vertical base and went for an enziguri with his free foot but Jansens held onto his other leg and ducked. He then locked in a spinning leg twist and had Hayabusa in a lot of pain. But Hayabusa was close enough to the ropes and he outstretched his arm to get the bottom rope and break the hold. Hayabusa then used a quick poke to the eyes followed by a spinning heel kick to regain control. He went for an irish whip but Jansens reversed it and caught Hayabusa coming off the ropes with a sleeper hold. After nearly going down to his knees, Hayabusa backed Jansens right into the corner but that's exactly where referee Chad Patton was and he went down as well. Meanwhile, Matasamo entered the ring and jabbed the Japanese flag into Jansens abdomen and Hayabusa rolled him up as Patton recovered to make the 3 count. Match Time: 3:57 Coachman:"Oh yeah, he's not gonna get involved is he"?! Norton:"Jansens must've made a derogatory remark about Japan". AFTER THE MATCH, MATASAMO AND HAYABUSA CELEBRATED BY DISPICABLY LAYING THE JAPANESE FLAG OVER JANSENS. Coachman:"Okay this is getting out of hand, somebody stop this"! Norton:"Jansens asked for this by sticking his nose in their business"! Coachman:"This is absurd, Japan is a very respected country and I doubt they'd appreciate this from their countrymen"! BACKSTAGE.... Mean Gene Okerlund:"I gotta agree with you on that point Coach but right now, I'm with Drew Blood, one of the top young stars in the TWF and Drew, it was announced today that you will face Rhyno at Foul Play for the Intercontinental Title but tonight, you'll face "Stone Cold" Steve Austin one on one". Drew Blood:"That's Mr. Blood to you Okerlund, but that's okay, I don't need you either. But if you remember right, the last time I faced Austin he wound up with blood all over him and my arm was raised in victory. As for you Rhyno, you have one move and you keep missing me with it. At Foul Play, you're gonna get a lesson in wrestling and that title will be coming with me". COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE.... LITA IS BACKSTAGE GETTING HERSELF A BEVERAGE WHEN SHAWN STASIAK APPROACHES. Shawn:"Hey there, sweetcakes". Lita:"I'm warning you Shawn, don't mess with me again". Stasiak:"Why, what are you gonna do, slap me? To be perfectly honest with you, I was aroused after you slapped me the other night". Lita:"Uhh"! LITA WALKS OFF IN DISGUST. THE NWO THEME HITS AS MASA CHONO AND MUTA COME OUT TOGETHER. Coachman:"What is with Shawn Stasiak? He's become the pervert of the TWF"! Norton:"Yeah Coach, he's got about as much luck with the ladies as you do". "ONE OF A KIND" HITS AS ROB VAN DAM AND SABU COME OUT TO A GOOD POP. Coachman:"Very funny, but what a tag match we've got here folks as we saw this one get set up on the last RAW is WAR. Rob Van Dam challenged Muta and Chono to a two on one fight and after NWO Japan began to gang attack him, Sabu came to the rescue, but why"? Norton:"Oh I suppose these two have some sort of mutual respect for one another because I know they don't like each other"! Coachman:"These two have had great success as a tag team before and they've had a lot of great battles in the past, including that great match at TWF Outbreak a couple months ago. But together, I think they can be one of the top teams in TWF history". Norton:"They'll have to beat one of the top teams in the world tonight though". Chono and Muta vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu Sabu and Muta started the match off and after Sabu gained control with a nice spinning wheel kick, he bounced off the ropes and Chono stuck a knee into his back. This allowed Muta and Chono to take the match over. They hit Sabu with a devastating barrage of moves including a helicopter bomb by Chono and a sliding dropkick in the tree of woe by Muta but Sabu continued to kick out. Muta whipped him into the ropes but put his head down too early and Sabu kicked him in the face and then caught him with a cactus clothesline, allowing him to bring RVD in after 7 minutes in the ring. RVD came in with a rage as he caught Muta with several quick right jabs followed by a stepover spin kick. He then scored with Rolling Thunder before Chono came in and went for a clothesline. But RVD ducked and caught him with a spinning kick to the back of the head. He then tagged Sabu back in who immediately went to the top rope and came off with a moonsault right onto Muta to get the 1....2...., but at the last second, Chono made the save. All 4 men were in the ring as Chono and Sabu traded shots. RVD backed Muta into the corner with a few shoulder blocks to the abdomen before a backflip into a diving shoulder block. RVD then went for a monkey toss but Muta blocked it and RVD fell flat on his back. When he got up, Muta spit green mist in his face! As Chono distracted referee Tim White, Muta went out and got a steel chair and went to hit Sabu with it. But RVD got up on Muta's blind side and kicked the chair right into his face with the Van Daminator. The crowd was going nuts as Sabu used a beatiful northern lights suplex for the 1....2....3. Match Time: 13:42 Coachman:"Well it might just be a mutual respect, but RVD was watching Sabu's back in that one"! Norton:"That should be a disqualification, he kicked a chair in his face". Coachman:"the same one he brought into the ring! I think all the fans here in Iowa and watching at home are in agreement with me that this will be a very good, exciting team in the future here in the TWF"! RVD GOT ON ONE CORNER AND SABU ON THE OPPOSITE AS THE CROWD COULD BE HEARD CHANTING "ECW, ECW, ECW"! The Body Donnas vs. Sean O'haire and Albert The first couple minutes of this one involved Albert and O'haire double teaming Kip and Skip. After a double backdrop on Skip, O'haire whipped Kip right into a big clothesline by Albert. O'haire then grabbed Skip and ran him into the boot of Albert. Referee Brian Hebner finally got Albert to his corner when Kip caught O'haire with a lowblow. Skip and Kip spent the next several minutes wearing down O'haire with frequent tags in and out. After a snap mare by Skip, he tagged in Kip who slung himself over the ropes with a dropkick to the back of the head of a sitting O'haire. He then immediately tagged in Skip and they used a nice double dragon arm screw and they both used leg drops to the inside of the arm, causing O'haire to be in a lot of discomfort. After a scoop slam, Skip came off the ropes with a flying body press to get the 1....2.., but O'haire got his shoulder up. He then tagged in Kip who came into the ring and did 5 jumping jacks before attempting a clothesline which O'haire ducked and then he caught Kip with a powerslam. Both men were down and O'haire worked his way across the ring and tagged in the fresh Albert who came in and knocked Skip off the apron. He then caught Kip with a jumping scissor kick to the face. Terri jumped up on the apron but Albert just pulled her over the ropes and into the ring. This allowed Kip to come from behind with a forearm to the back but it did no good. As Albert turned around, Kip came bouncing off the ropes and jumped at Albert but Albert caught him with 2 hands around the throat and dropped him with the dreaded "Baldo Bomb" to get the 3 count. Match Time: 10:22 Coachman:"Chalk one up for the New Breed". Norton:"Look at Terri, she can't believe it". Coachman:"The Body Donnas had that match in their favor but they really lost focus at the end and Albert became a one man wrecking ball at the end". BACKSTAGE THE NEW TEAM OF VLAD THE IMPALER AND HARDCORE HOLLY ARE BACKSTAGE GETTING READY GOT THEIR MATCH TONIGHT. Vlad the Impaler:"Ya know, I think Foul Play's gonna be my coming out party because I get to prove that Brock Lesnar's not as tough as he looks. That first match was a fluke. At Foul Play, he's gonna be introduced to the hardcore world of Vlad". Hardcore Holly:"Oh yeah, I know what ya mean man and that same night, I'm gonna show that punk Travis Wakeman what tough is all about. See I didn't get the nickname Hardcore for nothin' and at Foul Play, Wakeman will find out how I got it especially without that bleach blonde bimbo Trish out there to help him out". Vlad:"And tonight, we get to warm up against the Acolytes and everyone is gonna see what the two toughest men in wrestling are all about". THE 2 KNOCK FISTS AS SNME GOES TO COMMERCIAL... COMMERCIAL... RETURN FROM BREAK... BACKSTAGE... AS SNME COMES BACK, MEAN GENE OKERLUND IS WITH AL SNOW. Mean Gene:"Alright fans, we're back on Saturday Night's Main Event on this special Thursday edition with both divisions in Iowa and I'm standing here at this time with one Al Snow and Al, lately you've had your share of problems with Mr.Perfect. In fact, he's gone as far as to steal your mannequin head but at Foul Play.... Al Snow: (cuts him off) "Stop right there Gene, it's not just a mannequin head, it's Betsy and Mr.Perfect, I don't know what kind of sick perverted head you have to take her but at Foul Play, I promise you that Betsy will be going home with me". AL SNOW WALKS AWAY. Okerlund:"That match was just added to the Foul Play card today folks but Coach, now it's back to you and who's that other guy again"? Norton:"Oh very funny Mean Gene, ya know, if you had any talent at all you'd be up here instead of in the back standing there while all these guys scream in your face". Okerlund:"Well if you had any talent, you'd be.... well let's just leave that one alone. Coach, take it away". WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WAVING TO THE CROWD BUT THEY HAMMER HIM WITH BOOS. Coachman:"Thanks Gene, ya know, that guy never ceases to make me laugh but in any case, it was just over a week ago that William Regal came out to conduct, well his goodwill ambassador speech when he was shall we say interrupted". Norton:"He sure was Coach, by that little pipsqueak Hurricane but tonight, Hurricane's gonna need a lot more than his Hurri-powers to beat Mr. Regal". Coachman:"Well here's what The Hurricane had to say earlier today when Mean Gene caught up with him when he arrived at the arena". THE INTERVIEW IS SHOWN FOR TV VIEWERS AS "STAND BACK....THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH" HITS AND HURRICANE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Okerlund:"Hurricane, last week on RAW, you decided to interrupt the goodwill speech of William Regal and he has asked for a match against you tonight. Can you tell the fans of the TWF your reasoning for this"? Hurricane:"My reasoning Gene? I think it's fairly simple. Do you think those people really wanted to hear, his goodwill speech? Now Regal says he's gonna bring manners and maturity to the TWF, but that's a slap....in the fans' faces. So that's where The Hurricane comes in. My job is to rid the TWF of that sort of thing in order to make it the most enjoyable show on Earth and Regal, you may be a tough blue blood from Blackpool, but with my Hurri-powers and my Hurri-senses combined, you stand no chance". The Hurricane vs. William Regal This was a classic mismatch as the veteran Regal used his size and strength advantage to take Hurricane down to the mat where he worked the lower back with several submission and leverage holds. But he seemed to take the Hurricane lightly as he whipped him into the ropes and went for a hip toss but Hurricane blocked it and ducked a following clothesline. He then followed that with a kick to the back of the head. After a picture perfect dropkick, Hurricane went up to the top rope and came off with a flipping neckbreaker to get a 1....2..., but Regal shot his right shoulder up. He went for a swinging neckbreaker but Regal countered with a hard forearm to the face followed by a double jumping kneebutt to the face. He went for a cover but couldn't keep Hurricane down. Regal then used a double underhook suplex but instead of capitalizing, waved to the booing fans. Hurricane kipped up and ducked a clothesline. He then slapped his right hand around Regal's throat and actually went for a chokeslam but Regal countered with an elbow to the side of his head. Regal then taunted him by dusting his hands off. But Hurricane quickly recovered and schoolboyed Regal to get a 1.....2....., near fall. Hurricane then went for a headscissor takedown but Regal countered by tossing him off his shoulders. Regal then tried for a backslide but it was his cardinal mistake. Hurricane somehow reversed the momentum and muscled Regal up, dropping him with the "Vertebreaker" to get the 1....2....3. and score the huge upset. Match Time: 2:33 Coachman:"The Hurricane has pulled possibly the biggest upset of 2002"! Norton:"How did he hit Regal with that move"? Coachman:"Maybe he really does have Hurri-powers"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AS JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH LITA AND DEMANDS A MICROPHONE AND IS QUICKLY GIVEN ONE. Norton:"What is he doing out here"? Coachman:"It looks like he's got something to say and he doesn't look happy". Jordan Rockwell:"Shawn Stasiak, I've had enough of these perverted games. I mean, you're worse than my eighty two year old neighbor. Get it through your head, these ladies want nothing to do with you. But then you decided to go and mess with Lita. Big mistake. So Stasiak, why don't you get your ass out here right now and we'll settle this thing like men". Coachman:"He's callin' Stasiak out"! Norton:"I don't know if he wants to do that". SUDDENLY STASIAK APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON. Shawn Stasiak:"Hey Rockwell, do you think I have time to go out there and settle your problems. I'm a busy man, what can I say. But I'll tell you what, if you're dyin' to settle this like men, why don't you put that European title on the line at Foul Play and I'll be happy to put some of my projects on hold to meet you there". Rockwell:"Hey man, if you're gonna be a bitch tonight and you want a title shot, you got it. If that's what I gotta do to beat your ass and teach you a lesson, then so be it"! STASIAK SMILES AND HOLDS UP A PINK THONG AS LITA GETS A VERY UPSET LOOK ON HER FACE, REALIZING IT's HERS! Stasiak:"Now that sounds like a winner. And who knows, maybe I'll get to have a little foul play in other ways, if you know what I mean". THE TWF TRON SHUTS OFF AS AN IRATE ROCKWELL SLAMS THE MIC DOWN ON THE MAT. Coachman:"What is wrong with this guy. He needs psychiatric help"! Norton:"Or it could've been a ploy all along to get Rockwell to agree to a title match". Coachman:"Well the match is set for Foul Play but don't go away fans, The Big Show will face Kevin Nash of the NWO next"! COMMERCIAL.... REY MYSTERIO, JR. HAS JUST ENTERED THE BUILDING CARRYING A DUFFEL BAG WHEN STEPHANIE McMAHON COMES UP WITH AN NWO T-SHIRT AND THE CROWD BEGINS TO BOO. Stephanie:"Oh hey Rey, I'm so glad you're finally here. Have you had a chance to think my offer over"? Rey Mysterio:"Yeah, I have". Steph:"Great! Well then, (she hands him the shirt) here you go". Mysterio: Ya know Steph, this won't be needed. (he gives the shirt back) Because there's no chance that I'd join the NWO". MYSTERIO WALKS AWAY AS STEPH's JAW LITERALLY DROPS. THE NWO THEME HITS AS KEVIN NASH COMES OUT TO A TON OF BOOS. Norton:"Are you kidding me? He turned down a chance to join the NWO"? Coachman:"Well speaking of the NWO, here comes the big seven foot Kevin Nash and he's about to square off with the biggest man in the TWF but the NWO lost out on that recruit didn't they". "WELLLLL....WELL IT's THE BIG SHOW" HITS AS THE BIG SHOW's PYRO BLASTS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Norton:"I can't believe that idiot did that. It's not everyday that you get a chance to join a group as prestigous as the NWO Coach". Coachman:"Well maybe Mysterio has dignity and morals and he believes in playing by the rules, all things the NWO does not practice". Norton:"Just watch what you turned down here Mysterio when Nash breaks this big goof down to size". The Big Show vs. Kevin Nash After a brief staredown in the center of the ring, Nash took a cheap shot at the Big Show which triggered a heavy exchange of shots. Big Show packed more with his punch and began rocking Nash backwards. He bounced off the near side ropes but Nash stuck his big boot right in his face before dropping an elbow across his chest to get a 2 count before Show powered out. Nash backed the wobbily 500 pounder to the corner where he drilled him with a few hard elbow shots. He then came charging in with a clothesline but Big Show moved out of the way and body slammed Nash. He then ran through him with a clothesline when Scott Hall came running down the aisle, steel chair in hand and jumped up on the apron. Referee Mike Sparks immediately saw Hall and tried to get him off the apron but Hall slid the chair into the ring and Nash grabbed it. But right when he turned around, Big Show punched the chair right in his face and covered Nash to get the 3 count. Match Time: 4:22 Coachman:"Look at that, the NWO can't even get their cheating right tonight"! Norton:"Ah! Big Show might have won this one Coach but it won't be forgotten by the NWO"! Hardcore Holly and Vlad the Impaler vs. The Acolytes Vlad and Holly were intorduced first and as The Acolytes came down the aisle, they met them outside the ring and the fight was on. Bradshaw and Vlad traded punches as Holly reversed an irish whip and sent Faarooq careening into the ring steps. Referee Jim Korderas gave the men several warnings to get the match into the ring but after being totally ignored, Korderas called for the bell in a double DQ. Several officials from the back came out to seperate the 2 teams when Travis Wakeman jumped out of the crowd and hit Holly over the head with a small metal pipe. Wakeman then jumped back into the crowd and disappeared as Vlad checked on his partner. Coachman:"Well the Toughman champion Travis Wakeman has done nothing to prove how tough he really is Norton. He'll do anything to get an unfair advantage"! Norton:"He's getting back at Shane in my opinion, I mean, Shane barred his licensed manager from the ring for that match at Foul Play based on the fact that he's the owner and what he says goes". Coachman:"Well the boss is always right but we've seen Travis Wakeman use that metal pipe before and Holly may be hurt here folks, let's take another look at Wakeman as he comes through the sea of people here in the arena. REPLAY IS SHOWN. But Shane did say Norton that the Toughman title is going to mean just that in the PrimeTime division. If you're not the toughest man in the division, someone else should have it. At Foul Play, Wakeman's gonna have to do it on his own, bottom line". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... BACKSTAGE.... VAL VENIS IS BACKSTAGE TALKING TO A GROUP OF 3 LADIES WHEN CHRIS BENOIT COMES UP. Chris Benoit:"Hey Val". Val Venis:"Well look who it is". Benoit:"So it was my fault we lost to Stone Cold and Triple H huh"? Venis:"Uh, ladies, if you'll excuse me". THE 3 WOMEN LEAVE THE AREA. Benoit:"I heard you make the comment last week before your match". Venis:"Oh, you mean the match where I ended Shawn Michaels' career, that match"? Benoit:"Ya know, you've got a lot of nerve saying that match was my fault". Venis:"Well if that's the case, this'll take a lot of nerve too". VENIS TAKES A CHEAP SHOT AT BENOIT, POPPING HIM RIGHT IN THE MOUTH. BENOIT RETALIATES WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN AND A BRIEF SKIRMISH STARTS THAT HAS TO BE BROKEN UP BY 4 SECURITY GAURDS. Benoit: (as he's being escorted away) "Just wait Val, just wait". VENIS IS SHOWN GRINNING AS SNME GOES TO COMMERCIAL.... COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK... RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AS HE COMES OUT WITH THE IC TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Coachman:"We're back on Saturday Night's Main Event and it's time for a match I've been waiting forever to see. It'll be a non title affair and speaking of that Intercontinental title, is anyone ever gonna get it off Rhyno"? Norton:"Well Drew Blood will have that chance at Foul Play in a match between two guys I have a lot of respect for". "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AS TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE LOUDER CHEERS ALL NIGHT. Coachman:"And why's that Norton"? Norton:"Because they've both got a ton of ability and they've managed to get these people to hate them so bad". Coachman:"But on the other end of the spectrum, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin are gonna lock horns and these fans are torn on who to root for in that one". Norton:"That's if Rhyno lets Helmsley get out of this one on two feet tonight". Non Title Match Triple H vs. Intercontinental Champion Rhyno These two put on the match of the night and possibly the match of the month. Rhyno opened the match with some stiff shots to the head but after ducking a clothesline, Triple H took out Rhyno's left knee with a chop block. The cerebral assassin then worked diligently on that leg, dropping elbows on it and then wrapping it around the steel post 2 times. Triple H then knocked Rhyno into the corner with a hard right hand before whipping him to the opposite side. But when Triple H came running in, Rhyno moved out of the way and Triple H slammed shoulder first into the steel post. Rhyno followed that with a nasty sidewalk slam when Drew Blood came out. Drew Blood seemed to be studying Rhyno in preparation for their match at Foul Play. The match continued at a seesaw pace when Rhyno reversed an irish whip and sent Helmsley hard into the corner. Rhyno then came in with a jumping splash but Helmsley moved and he hit his head on the post. Rhyno took a wild, half hearted swing at Helmsley but Helmsley ducked, kicked him in the groin and delivered the Pedigree for the victory. Match Time: 10:07 Coachman:"That was a great match! I hope Austin's ready cause the game sure is"! Norton:"Rhyno was obviously affected by the fact Drew Blood was at ringside and you gotta wonder what effect that will have on Drew Blood's match with Austin later tonight". SUDDENLY, THE SHOW IS INTERRUPPTED AS TV VIEWERS AND FANS IN THE AUDIENCE BY WAY OF THE TWF TRON SEE NOTHING BUT A BLACK SCREEN. AFTER AN EERIE SILENCE, A MATCH IS LIT IN THE DARK ROOM AND A HOCKEY MASK CAN BE MADE OUT. Coachman:"That's Nails"! Nails:"I already have the girl. Nemesis, you have no choice but to face me at Foul Play". A WOMAN CAN BE HEARD KICKING AND SCREAMING IN THE BACKGROUND. Coachman:"What's he done with Francine"? Nails:"Nemesis, ever since you arrived in the TWF, you and I have been on a collision course. But Foul Play will be the bloodiest of them all. I want a no holds barred, anything goes last man standing match. Oh yeah, this will be the end of you Nemesis. Accept my challenge and you can have your bitch back. All it will cost you is your career". HE BLOWS THE MATCH OUT AS PITCH DARKNESS IS SHOWN AGAIN. Coachman:"That may be the most unsettling moment in TWF history. Will Nemesis accept this psycho's challenge"? COMMERCIAL... RETURN FROM BREAK... Coachman:"Fans, we are all still sitting here in shock after what took place just moments ago somewhere in this arena, take a look". NAILS' MESSAGE TO NEMESIS IS REPLAYED AND WHEN THE FOOTAGE RETURNS LIVE, NEMESIS IS STANDING WITH MEAN GENE. Mean Gene:"Ok Nemesis, it's obvious you're.... Nemesis:"Yeah Gene, say it, I'm pissed off! Nails, I don't know what kind of sick game you're trying to play but you want a last man standing match at Foul Play, you got one! As for Francine, if you so much as lay a finger on her, it'll be a lot more than just your career you'll lose". THE IMAGE OF BLOOD STARTS TO DRIP FROM THE TWF TRON AS THE LIGHTS DIM AND DREW BLOOD's THEME HITS. HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO THE RING. Coachman:"A very serious situation has evolved between Nemesis and Nails and I don't know if that match needs a referee or a prison gaurd at Foul Play but it's now time for a big match between Drew Blood and the Texas rattlesnake". THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING ECHOES THROUGH THE ARENA AS "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN COMES OUT TO A TREMENDOUS POP. Norton:"As Drew Blood so poigniantly pointed out earlier, the last time he and Austin went one on one Austin was covered in blood". Coachman:"You've got a point there Norton but if you remember, it was also Triple H, Austin's opponent at Foul Play, that cost him that match. Now we've already seen Triple H get a win over the Intercontinental champion Rhyno tonight so the pressure is on Austin to keep pace with the game". Norton:"I'm gonna make a bold prediction here and say that Drew Blood gets the win here". Drew Blood vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin The momentum shifted back and forth in a match that the fans truly appreciated and matched the competitiveness of the Rhyno-Triple H matchup. Drew Blood wore Austin down by working on his right arm and connected with the "Blood Bath" shortly into the match but fortunately for Austin, he was close enough to the ropes to get his foot on them to halt the count. Rhyno sneakily came down the aisle and stood at ringside as Drew Blood continued his dominance against Austin on the mat with 2 hard knees to the right forearm followed by a headlock takeover. Austin fought his way back up and backed Drew Blood into the ropes and whipped him in. They bumped shoulders and Blood's momentum allowed him to knock Austin down. Austin then laid on his stomach as Blood jumped over him on his way to the far side ropes when Rhyno grabbed his foot. Drew Blood turned and took an errant swing at Rhyno when Austin spun him around and delivered the Stunner to end it abruptly with a 3 count. After Austin left the ring, Rhyno sized Drew Blood up for the "Gore" but Drew Blood instinctively got out of the way and Rhyno slammed into the corner. Drew Blood then delivered the "Blood Bath" and stared down at the fallen manbeast for a solid 10 seconds before leaving the ring. Match Time: 11:09 Coachman:"Drew Blood has lost the match but I'd say he's got the psychological momentum heading into Foul Play"! Norton:"Well he said Rhyno's only got one move and that he can't hit him with the Gore. I don't know about the one move accusation but Rhyno can't get the bullseye on the man who could leave Foul Play with the Intercontinental title". THE SOUND OF A BLARING SIREN PIERCES THROUGH THE ARENA AS SCOTT STEINER MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH VICTORIA AS THE CROWD BOOS THE HECK OUT OF HIM. Coachman:"What a mega match this is gonna be fans as you see Big Poppa Pump, the man who will take on The Rock in just a few days at Foul Play". "ROLLIN'" BY LIMP BIZKIT HITS AS THE UNDERTAKER ROARS OUT ON HIS MOTORCYCLE WITH THE TWF TITLE AROUND HIS NECK. Norton:"Here's a man who I have the utmost respect for Coach. I can't wait to see him destroy that yellow and red idiot Hogan at Foul Play". "REAL AMERICAN" HITS AS HULK HOGAN AND THE ROCK COME OUT TO THE BIGGEST CHEER ALL NIGHT. Coachman:"Well I think you're in the minority with those feelings cause listen to this crowd! The roof is gonna blow off"! Norton:"It'll be complete silence here soon when The Undertaker and Steiner annialate these two"! Hulk Hogan and The Rock vs. The Undertaker and Scott Steiner These 4 men provided a great look into Foul Play and this match was a great way to cap off the night. The Rock competed in the match with tape on the left side of his rib cage due to the lead pipe shot he received from Steiner on the last RAW and this was made a target. The Undertaker and Steiner isolated The Rock in the ring for much of the match. After taking seperate beatings from both men, The Rock ducked a big boot and caught The Undertaker with a flying clothesline. He was then able to get over to his corner and make the tag to Hogan who came in and cleaned house as the crowd went nuts! But late in the match, Victoria got up on the apron and got referee Earl Hebner's attention as Steiner got his lead pipe out of the back of The Undertaker's bike and threw it in to Undertaker who caught it with 1 hand and popped Hogan over the head with it. Steiner then threw The Rock out to the floor as The Undertaker delivered a hard chokeslam to get the victory as "Rollin'" played to drown out the furious fans. Norton:"Oh yeah! The lovely Victoria is good in so many ways Coach"! Coachman:"Like you'd know, but in any event, The Rock and Hogan have the odds stacked against them. Will they come out on top at Foul Play, order the event on pay-per-view now"! OFF AIR...
