Jonathan Coachman:"War has been declared on the TWF by WCW2 and we are just two weeks away from Welcome to our Yard! Thanks for joining us tonight fans I'm the Coach and I'm joined here at ringside by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan"". THE HARDCORE REVOLUTION's MUSIC HITS AS TEX WATSON AND MIKE STALKER COME OUT. Bobby Heenan:"WCW2 may have declared war on the TWF but this Hardcore Revolution is gonna try and destroy it first"! THE HOLLY's MUSIC HITS Coachman:"The Holly's have the task of facing this very dangerous team tonight that call themselves the Bringers of Death". The Holly's vs. The Bringers of Death After all the talk about them, it was time to see the Bringers of Death in action- and they lived up to every word. Mike Stalker and Tex Watson worked so well together, making frequent tags and showing deceptive speed and agility. But they were up against a very game Holly's team. Watson and Stalker's plan was to isolate Crash in the ring, which they did right off the bat. After a vast display of double team moves, the Bringers of Death missed a double clothesline and Crash tagged in his older cousin. Hardcore came in and stood his ground. Late in the match, all 4 men were in the ring when ZeroEx came out and tossed something to Watson. Referee Jim Corderis saw ZeroEx and ordered him to leave. But behind Corderis' back, Watson decked both the Holly's with a pair of brass knuckles. Then Stalker picked up Hardcore and delivered the "Heart Stopper" as he and Watson won it. Match Time: 19:09 Coachman:"Hey ref, they used brass knucks! They're not legal in the TWF"! Heenan:"No, but it's a trademark of the company these guys came from". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF THE LEVIATHAN ATTACKING SHAWN MICHAELS AT TIDAL WAVE AS "SEXY BOY" HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT REACTION. Coachman:"We have it on good authority that HBK is gonna address what we just saw right now"! Heenan:"I don't think he wants to mess with the Leviathan"! Shawn Michaels:"Leviathan, I don't know if you're just tryin' to make a name for yourself or what your problem is but no one pulls that crap with me without getting a response. So what I'm sayin' is, bring your big, demented lookin' ass down here so you can find out why they call me the showstopper"! Coachman:"Michaels' is callin' out the Leviathan"! Heenan:"This is a mistake, a big mistake". THE LEVIATHAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A CHAIN. HE SWINGS IT AT MICHAELS BUT HBK DUCKS AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON THE LEVIATHAN. AFTER THE TWO TRADE BLOWS, SEVERAL TWF OFFICIALS COME OUT TO BREAK IT UP. IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO DO SO. Coachman:"What an explosive situation this has become"! Heenan:"Michaels must want an early retirement cause that's what he's gonna get by that big man"! BRIEF INTERMISSION WHILE AN AD FOR TWF.COM IS RAN.

SPIKE DUDLEY's MUSIC HITS Heenan:"Not only that, but the Leviathan will be out here later to take on Strife in a non title match"! Coachman:"Right here, we've got an interesting matchup within the lightheavyweight division". Essa Rios vs. Spike Dudley This turned out to be a tremendous match between two guys trying to ascend the ladder in the lightheavyweight division. Essa Rios seemed a step quicker as he dropkicked him to the floor. Rios dropkicked Spike all the way to the floor and then came flying off over the turnbuckle with a corkscrew attack and landed on Spike. Both men were slow to get up. But the fight continued and got better as it went on. Both men took turns trying to get the pin and the fans came to their feet in appreciation after 1 series saw 10 near falls. After powerbombing Spike, Rios went up for his moonsault. But Spike got his knees up in his midsection, knocking the wind right out of him. Spike then grabbed Rios' arm and used a mahistrol cradle to get the victory. Match Time: 10:03 Coachman:"Spike has just earned a hard fought win". Heenan:"Don't ever count Spike out! He can take a beating but he doesn't stay down". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..... BACKSTAGE TRAVIS WAKEMAN FINDS LILIAN GARCIA. Wakeman:"There you are". Lilian:"Oh hey Travis, where's Trish"?

TAJIRI's MUSIC HITS Heenan:"What about what Lilian told Wakeman about hearing another voice"? Coachman:"That's a very weird situation Brain as is the one Tajiri's been involved in lately with these mysterious ninjas. In any event, two former lightheavyweight champions are gonna mix it up"! Weapon R vs. Tajiri Another great match in the lightheavyweight division. This one was back and forth as 2 of the best japanese wrestlers in the world squared off. Tajiri's stunning kicks took their toll on Weapon R and allowed him to get an early advantage. After a back kick to the face and a few nasty knifedge chops, Tajiri whipped Weapon R to the corner and went for the "Tarantula". But as he went to hook it in, Weapon R grabbed him by the back of the legs and slammed him hard on the mat. Weapon R then landed a rounding splash off the top rope and went for the cover 1......2...... but Tajiri kicked out. But after a frankensteiner and a tornado ddt, both off the top ropes, Tajiri had a punch countered into the "Weapon of Choice" and Weapon R got the win. Match Time: 9:46 Just then, Yuji Matasamo came out and began to assault Tajiri. Weapon R turned around to help him but a ninja came out of the audience and spit green mist in Weapon R's face! Matasamo and the ninja then hit Tajiri with a double superkick and left the ring. Heenan:"Who are these ninjas Coachman"? Coachman:"I don't know Brain, you think I'm psychic?

Duke Williams vs. Mike "The Texan" Smith The Texan was put up against a bigger man in this one but he took the fight right to him. After a missile dropkick off the top rope, Smith brougt in a rope with a cowbell on it and hit Williams in the head 3 times. The Texan was in complete control and soon dropped Williams with the "Sidewinder". It was all over but Bull Buchanan came running out and hit Smith over the head with a chair as Smith went for the pin. Williams got up and dropped Smith with the "Mac Attack" to get the pin as the tag team champions Maddogg and King Killer came out. The Confederation had a 4 on 1 advantage and they were destroying Smith. After handing out a severe beating, King Killer delivered the "Rise of the South" as Smith was rolling in pain. Match Time: 4:45 Coachman:"This is sick! You guys proved your point, now leave! What did Mike Smith ever do to them"?! Heenan:"This group is a power hungry, dominating force! They're makin' sure everyone knows what they're capable of"! TAINA TAYLOR's MUSIC HITS Coachman:"We've got a women's tag team match comin' up as you see the Queen of the Ring head down the map".

Coachman:"Oh stop Brain, Christian brought all on himself by attacking his own sister and her friend. CAMMIE COPELAND AND FAITH COME OUT TOGETHER. This will however be a tall order for Cammie and the newcomer Faith who's filling up for the first time. Heenan:"And how well she perform after RAW and Christian on RAW"? Tiana Taylor vs. Cammie Copeland and Faith 4 of the top female athletes in wrestling had a good match. Cammie and Faith showed great continuity and pulled off some nice double team moves. Cammie and Terri Gold went to toe as and had a great series. Cammie and Faith threw dropkicks simultaneously. But moments later, Taylor took out Cammie from behind. After nearly 5 minutes of abuse, Cammie caught Taylor with a nice drop toe hold and then got over to tag in Faith. Faith showed signs of greatness as all 4 women soon were in the ring. Suddenly, Taylor backdropped Christian all the way to the outside of the ring when Christian came out with a steel chair. He slammed it across the back of Faith which referee Tim White didn't see and then rolled her into the ring where Taylor covered her and got the win. Match Time: 9:09 Coachman:"Oh come on! What kind of man is Christian? That's twice in one week he's hit Faith with a chair"! Heenan:"You watching Edge? You still wanna face your brother"? Coachman:"Probably more than ever"!

Coachman:"A lot of fans have been critical of late about how Mr. McMahon has treated Nemesis, claiming he knows the whereabouts of his wife, who he's thought was dead for years but he won't tell Nemesis until he gets everything he wants from him"! Nails and Lord Apocalypse vs. William Regal and Nemesis In another alliance/Hardcore Revolution encounter, battle lines were definitely drawn. Regal and Nemesis were both as focused as ever, maybe for Mr. McMahon, and clearly wrestled the better match. But the win at all costs attitude is what the Revolution is all about. Regal and Nails had a great exchange in the ring while Nemesis and Lord Apocalypse had a hell of a brawl out of it. Regal caught Nails with a knee lift as referee Jack Doan tried to get Nails out of the corner. The legal man, Apocalypse hard into the gaurd rail and went to finish off Nails. But with Regal arguing with Doan, Lord Apocalypse came from behind Nemesis and slammed him with a move he calls "Doomsday". Doan turned around and counted the 3 as Nails made the cover. Match Time: 15:42 Coachman:"The Hardcore Revolution has won it as the alliance continues to crumble"! Heenan:"Vince, you gotta do something, quick"! TWF.COM AD IS SHOWN DURING SHORT INTERMISSION.

Coachman:"Well we know Edge will face Christian at Welcome to our Yard after the challenge he made tonight but he needs a win here to build some momentum going into that one". Mike Norton vs. Edge This was a terrific match but it ended controversially. The two men matched up well and Edge was fired up and hitting on all cylinders early. Each man took their turn controlling the tempo. After ducking a clothesline, Edge hit his big spear. Somehow, Norton got up at 2. Edge dominated from there, nearly pinning Norton 4 times but he couldn't keep him down. Norton began to come back and after a 1 handed spinebuster, he dropped Edge with a sleeper drop and went for the cover. Bit Edge kicked out at 2! Moments later, Spice got on the apron, darwing referee Chad Patton over when Christian came out again. He hit Edge between the eyes with a chair as he hung over the ropes and Norton used a german suplex that slammed Edge on the back of the head as Patton turned and counted the 1....2....3.

Chuck Palumbo:"Hey guys, I don't know if you know it, but these people hate you guys! And as far as me and Sean are concerned, you guys are a bunch of punks who talk a lot of trash"! Sean O'haire:"You boys come out here week after week and talk about an army that lost the war! So if you guys wanna represent the South, Chuck and I will be the North and we want a shot at those tag titles"! Maddogg:"You want a match with us"?

Bradshaw:"Yeah boys, if there's gonna be a fight, we're gonna be in it"! THE ACOLYTES CHARGE THE RING AND ATTACK THE CONFEDERATES BEFORE EBING OUTNUMBERED. BUT PALUMBO AND O'HAIRE CAME DOWN AND GAVE THE ACOLYTES SOME HELP AND THEY CLEARED THE RING. THE ACOLYTES BOTH JUST STARED AT PALUMBO AND O'HAIRE BEFORE LEAVING.

Coachman:"The crippler's got a big challenge in front of him tonight as he'll take on the four hundred and fifty pound King of the Ring Nuke"! Nuke vs. Chris Benoit Nuke seemed angry and intent on making an example out of Benoit. Benoit was giving up over a foot in height and 200 pounds in weight. It was not Benoit's type of match. Benoit was being manhandled until he used a dragon leg whip. From there, he worked on Nuke's right arm and shoulder and applied the STF. He slashed the big man's chest with hard knife edge chops in the corner but Nuke countered with a headbutt followed by a big splash. Nuke went for the cover and got the 1.....2..... but Benoit kicked out. Nuke became increasingly frustrated as he couldn't deliver the final blow to Benoit. But just as Benoit began to build some steam again, he went for a bodyslam and Nuke used a small package, hooked Benoit's tights and got the 3. Match Time: 6:15 Heenan:"How 'bout that Coach?

Meanwhile, here comes the TWF Hardcore champion Strife and even though this is a non title match, what a clash of the titans"! Non Title Match The Leviathan vs. Hardcore champion Strife This was a war as two of the biggest and toughest in the TWF locked horns. Strife took the fight to the Leviathan early. He caught him with a powerslam and a big boot to the face. Minutes later, he planted Leviathan with the "Wrong Destination" but Leviathan kicked out at 2! The monster then came back with headbutts and hard right hands. After a delayed suplex into a brainbuster, The Leviathan slammed Strife with his huge powerbomb. He went for the cover and hooked a leg but Strife escaped at 2! The crowd began to firmly get behind Strife but late in the match, Levithan moved out of the way of a flying clothesline as Strife smashed referee Tim White. As the battle continued, Taz of WCW2 came out of the crowd and blasted Strife with a chair shot to the face! Taz left back through the crowd as Leviathan covered Strife and won the match.

SUDDENLY BRET IS INTERRUPTED BY LANCE STORM ON THE TWF TRON. HE IS ON VIA SATELLITE. Lance Storm:"Hey Hitman, quit your whining. Ya know, you are right about a few things. Yeah, I respect your abilities. Yeah, I learned everything from the Hart Dungeon. But to say you're the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be, that I disagree with. So at Welcome to our Yard, I wanna prove that WCW2 has a better wrestler than Bret Hart. I wanna prove that I am the best wrestler in the world and I wanna show you Bret, that your dad showed me more than he showed you". Coachman:"What"? BRET GETS A SERIOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE. Storm:"So that's why I've come up with the first ever, Hart Family Dungeon Pure Wrestling match. No interference, no weapons. Jut me and you Hitman. The best wrestler, key word being wrestler, will be the winner". Bret Hart:"You wanna fight me in a technical wrestling match?

Looking for a way to get back in it, Triple H ducked a clothesline and immediately hit Albert with a neckbreaker. Triple H followed that with a well placed knee to the forehead. But Albert countered a piledriver attempt with a backdrop and then used a devastating slingshot with Triple H under the bottom rope. But Albert sent Triple H into the ropes and put his head down too early. Triple H capitalized with a facebuster to the knee which led to the Pedigree. Triple H then rolled Albert over as referee Earl Hebner counted 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 5:05 Heenan:"Now that's an impressive win. I hope you're ready Austin"!
