Promotional material for MeltDown littered the famed Madison Square Garden, which started out with a jam packed edition of Uprising. Tyson Kidd w/ Harry Smith vs. Primo w/ Carlito The tag team of the Hary Dynasty faced off against the brothers Colon, but this time in singles action. Primo was all over Kidd early in the match and after connecting with a flying european style uppercut off the middle turnbuckle, Primo was in total control. But when he hit the ropes, Smith grabbed his foot to slow him down which brought Carlito over. As Carlito and the son of the British Bulldog brawled, Kidd caught Primo with a flying roundhouse kick. He then went to the apron and used the ring ropes to spring back in, dropping a nasty elbow across the chest of Primo to win it. Troy Gafgen vs. Yoshi Tatsu The Japanese sensation, Yoshi Tatsu, got off to a quick start in this one by kicking the legs and lower body of the much bigger Gafgen. Gafgen was able to turn the match around when he caught Tatsu with a belly to belly suplex but he couldn't keep the youngster down. Yoshi was able to get out of the way of a falling elbow drop before connecting with a big dropkick. He then tried to go for a hurracanrana but Gafgen caught him and turned it into a vicious powerbomb to pick up the 3 count and a nice win. Colt Cabana vs. Heath Slater (invitee) Slater was looking to make a quick name for himself, but it wasn't gonna come at Cabana's expense. After using of all things an airplane spin, Cabana put Slater down with a wicked cradle DDT. And after a running double knee dropped Slater, Cabana slapped on an inverted Boston crab and Slater had no choice but to tap out. Matt Hardy vs. Doink the Clown Surprisingly, this match just turned into a brawl that mostly took place outside the ring between the two PrimeTime superstars. But Matt was able to turn the tide after catching Doink with the Side Effect. After lifting Doink to the top turnbuckle and climbing up with him, Matt set up for a superplex. But Doink jabbed him a few times in the rib cage and then sprayed something in his eyes before pushing him to the mat! As Matt lay on the mat, Doink recovered and launched himself off, landing on Hardy with the "Whoopie Cushion" to win it. After the match, cameras showed a small flower pinned to the chest of Doink's clown outfit which was likely the culprit for Hardy getting something sprayed in his eyes. With Halloween right around the corner, Main Event ended with the evil clown laughing as he left the ring to his eerie circus theme. MAIN EVENT GOES LIVE
THE PEACOCK LOGO WITH THE WORDS "NBC SPORTS" FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN BEFORE "DEAD MAN WALKING" BY BLOODSIMPLE STARTS UP.
MOMENTS LATER, THE INFAMOUS MADISON SQUARE GARDEN COMES INTO THE SHOT AND THE CAMERAS GET A SHOT OF A HUGE BANNER IN THE RAFTERS WITH THE MELTDOWN LOGO EMBLAZONED ON IT.
Michael Cole: "We are thrilled to have you a part of this huge night on broadcast television for TWF's Main Event"!
Jerry Lawler: "That's right, Michael, it's the TWF pouring into millions of homes tonight as we head to TWF MeltDown which is right around the corner"!
KELLY's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. SHE IS WEARING A BLACK AND PINK OUTFIT AND LOOKS SIMPLY STUNNING.
Cole: "And here comes Kelly as we kick off this night of action with our first of two huge title matches"!
Lawler: "We have a huge tag team main event tonight that I was really looking forward to but I think I might be looking more forward to this! Look at Kelly..... a picture speaks a thousand words..... wow"!
"THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE PLAYS NEXT AND MONICA STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK WITH THE TWF WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST. EDDIE SAINT JAMES FOLLOWS CLOSE BEHIND AND THE PAIR IS LOUDLY BOOED.
Cole: "Kelly is beautiful but she will need much more than that if she is to win the title tonight. On the last Rampage we all saw a vicious attack by Monica on Kelly but she and Eddie Saint James got their names in the news for other reasons recently when Money Mike seemingly walked out on the TWF".
Lawler: "I was very surprised by all of that, Michael, but I don't think it's fair to blame Monica and The Saint for it".
Cole: "Well not that anyone was really sad to see him go, but I did listen to the words that came out of his mouth and while you may not blame these two..... Mike certainly did".
TWF Women's Title Match Challenger: Kelly vs. Monica w/ Eddie Saint James Before the bell sounded, referee Jack Doan gave Kelly a look at the Women's title before handing it to the timekeeper. Kelly seemed nervous for her very first title shot before locking up with Monica who delivered a big knee to the abdomen followed by a very hard right hand. After pulling Kelly up by the hair, Monica hit a quick snap suplex before yelling "Let's go Barbie doll"! Monica got Kelly up again and shot her to the corner before following in but Kelly used the ropes in the corner to lift herself up before kicking her with both feet to the face. After a hard running clothesline, Kelly waited for the champion to get up before delivering a nice dropkick. Kelly then hit a perfect flying headscissor to put Monica down again. She went for the cover but Monica was able to push her off after the count of two. Kelly waited for her to get up again and Monica got to a position where she was on all fours when Kelly went for a legdrop to the back of the head, but Monica got out of the way. She then grabbed her by the face and neck before driving her into the mat with a DDT. Kelly looked like she was out of it and Monica probably could've won the match but she decided to go to the top rope and risk everything on her 450 splash, which she landed with resounding impact, hooking the leg of Kelly as Doan slapped the mat 3 times to get the victory. Match Time: 4:31 AS "THOUGHTLESS" PLAYED ONCE MORE, AN EXCITED EDDIE SAINT JAMES CAME INTO THE RING WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AND HANDED IT TO MONICA BEFORE SHE JUMPED INTO HIS ARMS. Cole: A successful title defense here for Monica and these two sure seem to be on top of the world right now, King". Lawler: "Well they both have championship gold and whether you agree with them or not, they feel that is their own doing and no one else's". Cole: "So much more to come tonight including a tag team title defense for the United Nations and our huge tag team main event..... Edge and Chris Jericho team up to face Mr. Kennedy and Damion West"! TWF FLASHBACK: DECEMBER 26, 2004 IN THE MAIN EVENT OF WAR IN THE WINTER, JORDAN ROCKWELL AND DYLAN JANSENS TEAMED UP TO FACE SHANE THOMPSON AND RHYNO IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH. AFTER THE MATCH WAS OVER, ROCKWELL AND THOMPSON WERE BRAWLING ATOP THE CELL WHERE THOMPSON HAD CHASED LITA. WITH ALL 3 ON THE TOP, THOMPSON ESCAPED THE ROCK SMASHER BUT LITA KICKED HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE, THE MOMENTUM SENDING HIM ALL THE WAY OFF THE CELL AND CRASHING HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE BELOW! COMMERCIAL BREAK.............. A COMMERCIAL FOR GEICO INSURANCE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE JAY LENO SHOW. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... "I AM PERFECTION" HITS WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS AND DOLPH ZIGGLER COMES OUT, DOUSED BY BOOS. Cole: "We welcome you back live here to TWF's Main Event on NBC and we are ready for more action as the very brash Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring". Lawler: "And I really like this guy, Michael, he really is one of the top young guys in the game right now". "IN THE SHADOWS" BY THE RASMUS PLAYS AND JADEN CORE COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER. Cole: "Well both these guys took part in the recent Stars of the Future battle royal set up by Rowdy Roddy Piper and this man was the winner. Come MeltDown, Jaden Core is sure to have a close eye on the King of Cable title match between Sebastian Cain and Richard Ramsley". Lawler: "Well he better have his focus on Ziggler tonight or he'll be heading into that match with one more loss on his record". Dolph Ziggler vs. Jaden Core This was a very good match between two of the top young superstars on the TWF roster and Ziggler was able to match Core's speed and athleticism and after catching Core with a big hip toss slam, Ziggler got the match in his favor. He tried to keep Core grounded but he had a tough time doing so although Core wasn't able to muster up much offense early on. After 2 hard knifedge chops, Core went for an irish whip but Ziggler reversed that and caught Core with a big powerslam. He had the cover and got 1.....2........, but Core was up. From there Ziggler tried to pull him up but Core pulled him down into a small package for a 2 count of his own. Ziggler got up and threw an errant clothesline but Core ducked and drilled Ziggler with a savate kick that knocked him into the corner. Core then charged in and slammed into Ziggler with a flying wheel kick across the face. Ziggler stumbled out of the corner as Core went to the top rope and flew off with a reverse crossbody, only to be taken out of the air by a Ziggler dropkick, which was a tremendous recovery. Ziggler crawled over and made a cover but Jaden Core's right shoulder shot off the mat at 2. Ziggler pulled Core up and again flung him into the corner but when he charged in, Core was ready with a back elbow to the chest before dropping Ziggler with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Ziggler was motionless on the mat as Core hopped to the top rope and in one fluid motion flew off with a kneedrop right across the throat of Ziggler! Core scrambled over into a cover and got the 1.............2................3. Match Time: 5:41 Cole: "Oh what a move! I don't know if I've ever seen that before"! Lawler: "You see something new out of Jaden Core every time he competes! If there's one thing we know about him, it's that he is quickly climbing the ladder here in the TWF"! Cole: "Another big win for Jaden Core and whoever wins that ladder match at MeltDown and pulls down that King of Cable title better get ready for this man"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ TRAINER's ROOM........ CM PUNK IS SHOWN IN THE TRAINER's ROOM, HIS RIGHT ARM IN A SLING. PUNK AND THE TRAINER ARE TALKING ABOUT HIS SHOULDER WHEN COLT CABANA COMES INTO THE ROOM. Colt Cabana: "Really, man? You're still doing this"? CM Punk: "Still doing what"? Colt Cabana: "Well, I filled in for you on Uprising tonight. I took the match you were supposedly too hurt to compete in.... and I got a win". CM Punk: "What do you mean supposedly? Ya know, I'm really tired of the crap you've been spreading around here about me. Sorry, doc..... I'll get back to ya later". PUNK JUMPS OFF THE TRAINER's TABLE AND LEAVES THE ROOM AS CABANA JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD. "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. Cole: "Well here is a match fans have really been looking forward to but notice what Axl Irvin does not have tonight...... the briefcase"! Lawler: "I actually talked to Axl when I arrived at the arena tonight and he told me he wasn't going to bring the briefcase to the ring tonight because he didn't want it to take the focus off this match.... he really wants to put this thing with Tirpak behind him". "TNT" BY AC/DC STARTS UP AND A SPOTLIGHT MOVES THROUGH THE CROWD, TRYING TO CATCH THE ENTRANCE OF CHRIS TIRPAK. IT FINALLY FINDS HIM, MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD CARRYING A KENDO STICK. Cole: "Well ever since WrestleMania, Chris Tirpak has felt he has some sort of claim to the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase and these two guys who may've at one time been decent friends, don't seem to care for one another anymore". Lawler: "And it's all gonna come to a head here tonight in Madison Square Garden". Chris Tirpak vs. Axl Irvin This one started out with a bang as the two men met in the middle of the ring, throwing bombs. Tirpak actually knocked Axl into and through the ring ropes before following him out to the floor. After a stiff clothesline, Tirpak picked up his kendo stick and risking disqualification, he swung it at Axl when he got to his feet. Axl ducked and the kendo stick smashed against the steel ring post. After a kick to the midsection, Axl slammed Tirpak face first into the ring steps before rolling him back into the ring. Out of sheer frustration, Axl picked up the kendo stick and snapped it across this knee. He then got back into the ring but Tirpak was waiting with a kick to the gut followed by some heavy European style uppercuts. Off an irish whip, Tirpak tried to get Axl onto his shoulders but Axl slipped through it and landed behind Tirpak, grabbing him around the waist and running him to the ropes, rolling him up for a near fall. Both men got to their feet and Axl scored with a quick kick but when he ran in, Tirpak picked him up and dropped him over the top rope with a stun gun. After a big elbow drop, Tirpak made the cover and got a 2 count. He looked into the corner, seemingly looking for the briefcase, before pulling Axl up in a front facelock. He got Tirpak up for a suplex but Axl again slipped free and this time he fell behind Tirpak, rolling him up and stealing a 3 count. Match Time: 6:29 Cole: "He got him! Axl got the win"! Lawler: "It happened so fast that Tirpak doesn't even know what happened"! Cole: "Well maybe with that win, Axl can put this whole thing with Chris Tirpak behind him and now get his focus back on cashing it in"! COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR CAPITAL ONE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR "HEROES". RETURN FROM BREAK..... WHEN MAIN EVENT COMES BACK FROM BREAK, A PROMINENT GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE MAIN EVENT LOGO IS SHOWN FOR THE TAG TEAM MAIN EVENT PITTING CHRIS JERICHO AND EDGE VS. DAMION WEST AND KEN KENNEDY. Sylvester Terkay vs. Vladimir Kozlov A brawl fans have been anticipating for months finally went down here as these two big men went toe to toe. Both men boasted accolades outside of the wrestling ring with Kozlov's sambo and Terkay's stints in K-1. After a tense staredown to see who would flinch first, Kozlov tried to intimidate Terkay by yelling in his face. Terkay responded with a right hand that staggered the big Russian, but Kozlov fired back with one of his own, knocking Terkay a step back. The two men traded blows until Terkay tried to sneak in a roundhouse kick that Kozlov saw coming. He pushed his foot away and grabbed him under both arms, headbutting the sternum 5 or 6 times. Terkay stumbled back but Kozlov was all over him, driving his shoulder into his midsection with him in the corner. From there, Kozlov grabbed him under the right arm and threw him across the ring, very impressively. Kozlov then mounted Terkay, smashing him with wild rights and lefts. Referee Marty Elias asked for a break and Kozlov risked disqualification for getting in a few more blows. After pulling Terkay up, he whipped him to the ropes before driving a big headbutt into his chest. Kozlov was sure he had a very quick, stunning victory but his nonchalant cover only got him a 2 count. Kozlov argued a bit with Elias before pulling Terkay to his feet, smashing him over the back of the head with a couple hard forearms. He then tried for another irish whip but this time Terkay reversed it before catching Kozlov with a straight kick to the jaw. This got Terkay back into the match and he immediately locked in his overhead keylock submission move but Kozlov reached a foot to the ropes to earn a break. Terkay backed up but when Kozlov got up, he used his head again, driving it into the midsection of the Manbear before delivering an impressive belly to belly suplex. Kozlov went for the pin but again, Terkay kicks out at 2! Kozlov began to go into some sort of rage, backing Elias into the corner to challenge his pace of the count. As this was going on, Terkay was buying the time he needed to recover. Kozlov got him up but Terkay flung his arms away from him, taking away any defense he had and allowing him to connect with the vile Heart Punch. Kozlov was stunned before falling to the mat and Terkay came down with a huge jumping double knee drop across the face before covering Kozlov, hooking the leg for a big win. Match Time: 8:02 Cole: "And Sylvester Terkay has just won a war". Lawler: "Two heavy hitters came out here and did exactly what we thought they would. This time, the Manbear walks away". AS TERKAY's MUSIC PLAYED, HE LEFT THE RING, EMOTIONLESS AS KOZLOV TRIED TO SHAKE THE STARS IN THE RING. Cole: "Sylvester Terkay has made his name in the TWF on Rampage and as part of the one time ECW faction but this win establishes him as a big name on PrimeTime right now". The Titantron flickers to life to show Richard Ramsley. He wears a Mastadon T-Shirt, and his ripped up jeans. As he leans back into the steel chair he's sitting on, it's easy to tell he's on the stadium roof, as the city's skyline shines in the background. The wind gently blows his hair, and he runs his hand through it as a few strands fall in front of his face. He sniffs, and wipes his nose roughly with his wrist. He takes a deep breath, and looks up at the sky.
Richard Ramsley: "It's inevitable...... that eventually, the leaves will change. It's inevitable that the air will grow cold. It's inevitable that the rain will come, and it's inevitable that it will pass, and the skies will be blue. And so, it is inevitable that eventually... the human mindset changes as well.
Ramsley leans forward, but doesn't look at the camera. His face shows that a lot of time, and thought has been put into what he's trying to say. He runs his hand through his hair once more, and continues.
Ramsley: See, a lot of people... a lot of ignorant people like to throw around the word epiphany.... as if they'd actually had one. Realizing that you want to lose weight so you can fit into your old jeans.... deciding that you want to go to Hawaii and that you're going to start saving money.... these are not epiphanies. An epiphany, by definition, is a sudden, intuitive perception of, or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. I have had an epiphany. See, I'm right about the world. Every single person on this Earth holds a darkness within them that they keep bottled up. However.... I was wrong about how to make a person showcase that darkness. Sebastian Cain... you and I know what you did. Every fan of the TWF knows what you did. And you and I both know, that deep down, you're still the same person. I thought.... I thought that airing out your past would make you break... I was wrong. And then I thought that maybe your past was just the crow bar. That maybe I just needed to apply a little pressure. So I rubbed the past in your face, and then I beat you.... and yet you still stood strong. That's when it hit me.
Ramsley now leans towards the camera, staring into it. His eyes give away the fact that to him, he's not staring at a camera... he's staring at Sebastian Cain.
Ramsley: See, I KNOW I'm right, Cain, and so do you. But I realized that as long as you have a reason to put up this facade, you will not be broken. So what I have to do is clear, Cain. I have to leave you with no reason to try and be this "changed man" you say you are. And I'll do that at MeltDown. I will beat you into semi-consciousness, and then, I will place the ladder in the center of the ring... over your body. I will climb it, laughing all the while. And then, as you lay helpless... you will watch me take your precious title. And that's when you'll break, Cain, I know it. Everyone will know your past... your body will be broken... your title.... will be mine. And that's when you'll have your epiphany... you'll realize that if you ever want to even hope about getting your title back.... you'll have to tap into the dark side of your soul... and you'll realize that you should have never hidden that side of you in the first place... and I won't be alone anymore.... I'll see you later, Sebastian".
Ramsley stands up, and walks off screen. The city skyline can still be seen in the background, and the sounds of the city echo quietly as the screen fades to black.
BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" BY WITHIN TEMPTATION COMES ON AND BLADE STEPS OUT TO A MASSIVE BOOS. Cole: "Wow, could the situation between Richard Ramsley and Sebastian Cain possibly get any more tense"? Lawler: "I'll tell ya, Michael, I can't wait for that one". Cole: "Well here comes Blade who we saw pretty much hand it to Nails in a parking garage on the last PrimeTime and King, I think you can count on one hand how many guys have done that to Nails". Lawler: "So you know Nails is gonna be comin' out guns blazin' tonight". A CHEER STIRS IN THE CROWD AS "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT STARTS TO PLAY. NAILS SLOWLY COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, BUT JUDGING BY HIS MANNERISMS AND MOVEMENTS, SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. Cole: "And here he comes..... boy this is gonna be a fight"! Lawler: "Wait a minute.... Blade's goin' after him"! As Nails came down the entrance ramp, Blade left the ring and charged at him, smashing him with a clothesline before he could even react. After several boots to the head and a kick to the ribs, Blade gets Nails up and piledrives him right into the steel ramp! Boos fill MSG as Blade gets up with a big grin on his face. Lawler: "Wow.... he's getting the best of Nails again"! From there, Blade went and took off the top half of the ring steps, showing a lot of power by carrying it over to the fallen Nails. Cole: "Oh no..... you gotta be kidding me"! Then, Blade just slams the steps down across the body of Nails who is in obvious pain. Lawler: "Oh my gosh"! BEFORE ANY MORE DAMAGE CAN BE DONE, OFFICIALS PILE OUT FROM THE BACK TO FORCE BLADE AWAY FROM THE SITUATION. Cole: "Fans.... I don't know what the heck is going on, but this is twice now that Blade has left Nails laying after a vicious beating"! Lawler: "Perhaps Nails has met his maker, Michael"! COMMERCIAL BREAK............ A COMMERCIAL FOR SMACKDOWN VS. RAW 2010 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR "30 ROCK". RETURN FROM BREAK.....TWF FLASHBACK: OCTOBER 25, 2005 On TWF PrimeTime, under the guise of Doink the Clown, Shane Thompson defeats Jordan Rockwell to become TWF Hardcome champion, the last champion the company ever had. TWF Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made vs. The United Nations w/ Katie Lea This was the first test for the new team of Paul Burchill and Rene Dupree and they were up against a team who not only has much more experience teaming together than they do, but two guys who are best friends. Pyromania and Taylor Made had pretty much the entire crowd behind them as Burchill and Dupree did everything they could to get under their skin. Taylor Made started things off with the much bigger and stronger Burchill and he was able to throw him off with his quickness and agility. After connecting with a flying back elbow, Taylor ran the ropes but Katie Lea took a swipe at his foot. Referee Charles Robinson saw this and ordered Katie to the back! The fans were really into it now as Pyromania got a tag and flew into the ring with a springboard dropkick, taking out Burchill. Dupree tried to get into the ring but Pyro was waiting for him with a big clothesline before landing a standing backflip right onto Burchill. Robinson got down and made the count but Burchill pushed him off at 2. Pyromania then ran the ropes but Dupree got up and lowbridged him with the top rope, sending him to the floor. Burchill then got up and went outside the ring where he ran over Pyromania with a clothesline right when he got up. He then picked Pyro up and slammed him on the floor outside the ring before getting back in. He was able to pull Robinson away from the action as Dupree jumped down off the apron and picked Pyromania up, rolling him into the ring. Burchill then flew over with a nasty elbow drop across the chest, covering Pyro for the 1..............2............., but Pyromania was just up. Dupree tagged into the match as a chant of "Pyro" rattled throughout MSG. Dupree got Pyromania up and trash talked him before piefacing him into the corner. Then, with a head of steam, he ran in looking for a clothesline but Pyromania got out of the way. Then, seemingly out of desperation, Pyro connected with a step-up enziguri. Both men were down and the crowd was very much into it, trying to help will Pyro to the corner. He made it there and slapped the hand of Taylor Made who hopped over the top rope and took out Dupree with a right hand. After a nice dropkick, he dropkicked Burchill as well when he tried to come into the ring. But with the challengers rolling, Katie Lea resurfaced from the back. Robinson ordered her to get back before he disqualified the U.N. but while this was going on, Burchill came in with a stiff clothesline to the back of Taylor's head. Pyromania got in and began brawling with Burchill and they evenetually spilled out of the ring. All of this set up Dupree to lock in a Cobra Clutch on Taylor, who was no responsive. Robinson had no choice but to call for the bell to end the match. Match Time: 5:28 Cole: "Ugh........ Taylor is out folks". Lawler: "Burchill knocked him out"! THE U.N.'s MUSIC PLAYED AND THEY LEFT THE RING TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH THEIR TITLES IN TOW. KATIE LEA RAISED THE RIGHT HAND OF EACH MAN ONCE THEY REACHED HER AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE. Cole: "Burchill and Dupree have retained the tag team titles but if you ask me, they're lucky they didn't get disqualified! They took advantage of the referee that whole match". Lawler: "And that's the mark of a good team, Michael..... whatever it takes to win". Cole: "Well they're winning matches, but they're not winning any respect or admiration". BACKSTAGE..... IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS SHOWN WITH CHAOS WOLF. Lena Yada: "Wolf, thank you for taking the time to speak with me tonight. I know you're busy preparing for your big match with PJ Cash at MeltDown, but I heard some rumors earlier today that you were ready to reveal the big name that will be accompanying you to the ring at MeltDown". Chaos Wolf: "Lena..... I thought about it and yes, I was ready to tell the people and the good fans of the TWF who it is. But PJ, I want to keep you guessin'..... I want you to think about all the money you have and all the things you think you can do with it because I am bringing the type of person who won't sell out for money...... the type of person who stands up for what is right and what is wrong. And..... the type of person who thinks you're a little bitch for your attacks on people like Holly Madison and Candace Parker. Think about it, Cash". WOLF WALKS AWAY AS LENA JUST LOOKS ON. COMMERCIAL BREAK............. A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR "THE OFFICE". RETURN FROM BREAK...... TWF FLASHBACK: JULY 29, 2009: From TWF's Main Event earlier this year, Shane Thompson costs Jordan Rockwell the Universal title, helping Edge defeat him. BACKSTAGE..... BACK TO LIVE ACTION, COURTNEY TAYLOR IS SHOWN WITH BOTH EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA. Courtney Taylor: "Monica, congratulations on your successful title defense earlier tonight, but what I really want to talk to you guys about is the sudden departure from the TWF of Money Mike. What can you guys say about this"? Monica: "Oh, we have plenty to say. We............ Eddie Saint James: "Babe, let me have this one. For months and months, all we have heard about is how Money Mike somehow resurrected our careers. How he brought us to some sort of promise land and handed us TWF gold. How he drug us out of the dirt because we were "less fortunate". Well now, Money Mike is gone and yes, Mike, you were right. We did plan to sabotage your chance to win the March to MeltDown! Monica and I stood up for a large portion of the TWF locker room by doing our best to force you out! And it worked! Goodbye, Mike....... and good riddance". THE SAINT AND MONICA WALK OUT OF THE SHOT WHICH IS THEN SENT BACK TO RINGSIDE. "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE STEPS THROUGH A SMOKE FILLED ENTRANCE TO SOME SERIOUS BOOS. Cole: "We thank you for joining us on this special night of TWF action and now, it's time for a preview to MeltDown with our tag team main event"! Lawler: "It has been a very interesting night here from Madison Square Garden! I still can't get over what The Saint and Monica just said to Money Mike"! "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" COMES ON AND CHRIS JERICHO MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO JUST AS MUCH HEAT AS EDGE FACED. Cole: "Well we've got two matches for MeltDown rolled up into one here and what an interesting team Edge and Y2J should be". Lawler: "Well I've been watching your program, Michael, PrimeTime, and it doesn't seem like Jericho has made too many friends since he came over from SlaughterHouse". AN ENGINE LOUDLY REVS BEFORE "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST BEGINS TO PLAY. DAMION WEST MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK TO A VERY BIG CHEER. Cole: "Especially with this man! The former three time TWF World champion was the first to step in Jericho's way and now the two will collide at MeltDown"! Lawler: "And what a great match that should be. Two of the most athletic, most technical superstars in the entire TWF"! "MISTERRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYY" IS HEARD NEXT AND MR. KENNEDY EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO A MASSIVE POP, PERHAPS THE NIGHT's LOUDEST. Cole: "Plenty of support for Mr. Kennedy here in Madison Square Garden and you gotta think that will be the same in Phoenix when he goes one on one with Edge at MeltDown"! Lawler: "Right after being drafted over to Rampage, Edge came in and thought he was gonna run the show, but Mr. Kennedy got in his way and said it doesn't work that way! In many ways, these four men are drawn into very similar situations, Michael"! Cole: "You've got two of the biggest names on a particular division trying to make Edge and Jericho earn their keep on the show they were drafted to! But tonight, it's tag team action"! Edge and Chris Jericho vs. Mr. Kennedy and "High Octane" Damion West Right as West and Kennedy got into the ring, Jericho and Edge went after them and the fight was on. PrimeTime Referee Mike Enos clearly had his hands full as he tried to restore some order but he was unsuccessful. Eventually, West and Kennedy were able to overtake their opponents and Jericho was taken down with a flying forearm by West. He and Kennedy then combined to clothesline Edge out of the ring. Kennedy went outside with Edge and West focused on his MeltDown opponent, Jericho, in the ring. After catching him with a flying wheel kick, he went for the cover but only got a 2 count. Enos then became focused on the fight on the floor and after dropping Edge throat first over the barricade, Kennedy tried to whip him into the ring steps but the Rated R Superstar reversed it, sending Kennedy crashing into the steel. After hitting a swinging neckbreaker on Jericho, West went to the top rope but before he could take flight, Edge got up on the apron and shoved him off. Jericho then connected with a running bulldog before hitting the Lionsault on West. He made the cover and Enos made the 3 count for a very quick end to the match. Match Time: 3:16 Lawler: "Wow..... I didn't expect to see that"! Cole: "A win will get chalked up for Edge and Jericho but at MeltDown, Jericho won't have Edge to help him defeat High Octane....... I think we'll see a much different result than this"! AS "BREAK DOWN THE WALLS" PLAYED AGAIN, BOOS POURED THROUGH THE ARENA AS A VERY HAPPY TEAM OF JERICHO AND EDGE WENT BACK UP THE RAMP WITH THEIR ARMS RAISED, LOOKING BACK AT THE FALLEN WEST AND KENNEDY. Lawler: "And don't forget about that match between Edge and Kennedy.... what a fight that's gonna be"! Cole: "Thank you again for being a part of TWF Main Event..... we'll see you for MeltDown"! THE NBC SPORTS LOGO FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN AGAIN BEFORE FADING TO BLACK. OFF AIR................
