Attendance: 19,674
THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT LOGO FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN AS THE PAY-PER-VIEW STARTS FOLLOWED BY THE LEGAL DISCLAIMER.
THE SHOT THEN OPENS ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY. SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE SHOWN IN COLORFUL CLOTHES ON BOARD A BOAT WHICH IS ROLLING ALONG A GORGEOUS BED OF WATER ON A SAFARI TOUR.
ONE OF THE TOURISTS NOTICES A VOLCANO NOT TOO FAR OUT INSIDE HIS BINOCULARS AND SEEMS STARTLED WHEN IT BEGINS TO RUMBLE.
Tourist: (pointing) "Look"!
THE TOUR GUIDE IS ALARMINGLY INTERRUPTED AS SHE IS POINTING OUT A GROUP OF RARE TREES.
Tour Guide: "Oh my.......
JUST THEN, THE VOLCANO ERUPTS, SPEWING HOT LAVA INTO THE AIR. THE PEOPLE ABOARD THE BOAT ALL LEAP INTO THE RIVER AS THE LAVA FLOWS OVER THE EARTH.
AFTER ALL THE NOISE AND PANIC IS GONE, BROCK LESNAR, BATISTA AND SABLE ARE SHOWN IN THE AREA, LAUGHING. THE TWF LOGO THEN SURFACES FROM THE SMOLDERING LAVA.
"And now, TWF Entertainment and PrimeTime productions present..... TWF Eruption"!
THE ERUPTION LOGO IS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN AS THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW WITH AN AMAZING FIREWORK DISPLAY. THE SET IS THAT OF A VOLCANO WITH AN OPENING AS THE ENTRYWAY AND THE ILLUSION OF LAVA POURING FROM THE TOP. THE GLOWING, FIERY ORANGE PRIMETIME LOGO SITS ATOP IT.
Michael Cole: "The MCI Center's capacity for noise is gonna be tested tonight Jesse and fittingly, this place has erupted"!
Jesse Ventura: "We've got damn near twenty thousand people in here showing their colors by screaming their brains out! I love it"!
THE CAMERA SHOWS THE STEEL CAGE LOWERING FROM THE CEILING.
Cole: "Here comes the fifteen foot high haven of hell! The steel cage match is gonna start things off"!
"BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS, LEADING BAHAMUT TO THE RING AND HE EATS UP THE FANS NEGATIVE RECEPTION.
Ventura: "All I've been hearing is how this is The Beast's night to knock Bahamut off and all I've been hearing is how The Beast will be at home inside that cage but people forget how successful Bahamut has been in situations such as this Cole"!
"SEEK AND DESTROY" BY METALLICA HITS AND THE BEAST COMES OUT WITH THE 13th APOSTLE TO A GOOD POP.
SEVERAL FANS ARE SHOWN WEARING THE BEAST's NEW "SEEK AND DESTROY" T-SHIRT.
Cole: "This issue has been brewing since Bahamut came here to PrimeTime and made an open challenge. But I'll give the devil his due, Bahamut has been as successful as any TWF superstar on Pa-Per-View for probably the last three years"!
Ventura: "This ain't gonna be pretty Michael! One of these men ain't walkin' out"!
Cole: "It is a cage match but there is no escape. You must pin your opponent or make him submit to win"!
Steel Cage Match The Beast w/ The 13th Apostle vs. Bahamut Before Bahamut entered the cage, he grabbed a steel chair. He lifted it above his head but The Beast took him down with a spear. He then headbutted Bahamut four times while he lay on the mat and then whipped him to the ropes, driving a hard fist into the gut. The Beast then picked Bahamut up onto his shoulders and went to drive him into the chain link fence of a cage but Bahamut slipped off and ran him into the corner before hitting a backdrop suplex. Bahamut stayed on the offensive with consecutive elbow drops. He then whipped him to the ropes but missed with a big boot and was dropped with a right hand. The Beast then pulled him up but Bahamut had grabbed the chair and he jammed it into his throat before cracking him over the head. Bahamut then threw The Beast over the top rope and he landed on the apron, pressed up against the cage. When he got up, Bahamut struck him with a vile shot with the chair that knocked his head against the cage. He pulled him over the ropes and covered him but The Beast kicked out at 2. Bahamut began laughing, as if enjoying the action before ramming The Beast's head into the cage repeatedly. He then called for the door to be opened and outside referee Chad Patton swung it open. Bahamut then tossed The Beast threw it and he hit the floor with a thump. The 13th Apostle made his way over to check on him but Bahamut grabbed him and tried to pull him in but The Beast got up and swung the door in Bahamut's face and he fell back, his face busted open! The Beast then came in ready to put the finishing touches on, knocking Bahamut into the corner with some hard right hands that stained his fists. He then delivered a wicked gutwrench into a powerbomb abd it looked like it was over but Bahamut got a shoulder up just in time. The Beast then whipped him into the corner and as he came out, he picked him up for the "Vengeance" but Bahamut escaped and pushed him right into the cage. As The Beast fell back, Bahamut hit an inverted version of "What Legends are Made of" and covered him for the 1.......2......3. Match Time: 8:40 AFTER THE MATCH, BAHAMUT ESCAPED THROUGH THE DOOR, HIS FACE COVERED IN BLOOD AS THE 13th APOSTLE CAME IN TO SETTLE A VERY DISAPPOINTED BEAST DOWN. Cole: "Bahamut has escaped the cage but you can bet he won't forget the fight he got out of The Beast"! Ventura: "I gotta agree Michael, Bahamut gets the mark in the win column but there's no doubt The Beast's star rose tonight"! BACKSTAGE... THE 4 ELEMENTS ARE SHOWN, EACH WEARING THE NEW 4 ELEMENTS T-SHIRT. Rey Mysterio: "Tonight is our night boys, we have a great oppurtunity to take PrimeTime by storm, let's not blow it". Dylan Jansens: "We're with ya Rey, we're gonna line our waists with gold tonight". BENOIT NODS AND SMILES. Carney: (looking down at his belt) "I just wanted to say thanks for winning that match on PrimeTime Rey. All I needed was to have to worry about Matt Hardy too". Mysterio: "That's what we do Carney, we work together, ya know, a team". Carney: "Yeah, I know we all agreed that one element feeds another element and together, we are the strongest force ever assmebled but tonight, I wanna do it alone.... for myself". Mysterio: "Alright man, that's cool". REY KNOCKS CARNEY's FISTS. Chris Benoit: "We'll respect that man, good luck". CARNEY KNOCKS FISTS WITH JANSENS AND BENOIT AS WELL BEFORE THE CAMERA SHIFTS TO A DRESSING ROOM. DRESSING ROOM AREA..... MATT HARDY AND JAMIE NOBLE ARE BOTH SHOWN WEARING THEIR MATTITUDE SHIRTS. NOBLE IS LOOKING AT HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR AS MATT LOOKS ON. Matt Hardy: "Tonight's the night Jamie! It's time to put all that element crap to bed! Mattitude is the strongest force in the TWF"! Jamie Noble: "It sure is and I can't wait to see how good that Lightheavyweight title is gonna look around my waist"! BACK IN THE ARENA, A BLACK DRAGON COMES UP ON THE VIDEO WALL AND BREATHES FIRE AS "OVER MY HEAD" BY LIT TRACK HITS AND DYLAN JANSENS COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Cole: "We just heard the Four Elements going over what a huge night this could be not only for them as individuals but as a whole"! Ventura: "Oh cut the sentimental crap Cole, no one wants to hear it"! "TNT" BY AC/DC BLARED LEADING CHRIS TIRPAK TO THE RING. HE WAS GREETED BY A STRONG POP. Cole: "Either way it's a huge night for the Four Elements and this will be part one of not only their night but the night for the two man power trip of Batista and Brock Lesnar but I see Chris Tirpak as a wild card here! He could easily leave with the title"! BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH SABLE TO A LOT OF HEAT. HE TAKES THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OFF FROM AROUND HIS WAIST AND RAISES IT IN THE AIR. Ventura: "That's what it's about Cole and I can assure you that it's gonna take at least these two to take the title from this man"! Cole: "Batista is without a doubt one of the most intense superstars we have ever seen but all I have heard lately is how Shane's decision to give these guys two matches each tonight was unfair but face it, these guys wanted all the titles, now they get to defend them"! Ventura: "Oh get real Cole, you know just like everyone else does that Shane is showing these guys who's boss! He's got no competitvive intentions in mind. By the way, did you take a look at Sable"? Cole: "Sable is hot, no doubt, but it would be in her best interests to stay out of this match physically as you can bet Shane is watching over it like a hawk"! Triple Threat TWF Intercontinental Title Match Dylan Jansens vs. Chris Tirpak vs. Intercontinental Champ Batista w/ Sable The bell sounded and Batista turned from a pre-match whisper from Sable to see an argument between Jansens and Tirpak. But when he moved in, they both turned and cold cocked him with right hands. They then shot him to the ropes but he blocked a double back elbow and dropped them with a double clothesline. Batista then grabbed Tirpak and picked him up before running him to the corner. He drove a couple shoulders into his gut but Jansens jumped onto his back with a sleeper hold. The move seemed to be effective as Batista dropped to one knee but as quickly as he did, he popped back up and flung Jansens over his head to the mat. Tirpak then stepped up and threw a few right hands before hitting an inverted atomic drop. He then sent him to the ropes with an irish whip and he and Jansens combined on a backbody drop. Tirpak made the cover but Jansens pulled him off. This started a rift that threw off their gameplan and allowed Batista to recover, breaking up a shoving match with a kick to the side of Tirpak's head. He then picked Jansens up by the throat and threw him over the top rope to the floor. After a whopping clothesline in the corner, Batista loaded Tirpak onto his shoulder and delivered a jumping powerslam and hooked the leg but he kicked out at 2. Tirpak was on the ropes as Batista set him up for the sit out powerbomb. But Tirpak was ready, punching him way out and ducking a clothesline before hitting a sit down chinbreaker which was very innovative. He then positioned himself for a high impact move but Jansens slung himself back into the ring with an awesome bulldog takedown. He topped Tirpak but the count was broken up by Batista. He threw a right hand but Jansens ducked and dropkicked him in the left knee cap before hitting a body scissor bulldog ala Rey Mysterio. Jansens then went to the top rope but Tirpak got up and swept his feet out. As Jansens straddled the turnbuckle, Tirpak climbed up but Jansens pushed him off and he backed into Batista. Tirpak bounced off the ropes and ducked a clothesline but as he came off the other side, he and Batista bith threw a clothesline, taking each other out. Jansens then took a second to decide who to land on and it was Batista, feeling the effects of the "Deep Sea Dive". But right as he got up to make the cover, Tirpak kicked him in the gut and hit the Impaler DDT which spiked Jansens and he rolled him over to get the three count just before Batista could make the save. Match Time: 13:22 Cole: "That is why I called Tirpak a wild card! He has walked into Eruption and done the unexpected"! Ventura: "Batista is livid Michael and he has every right to be! He wasn't even the one pinned and he lost his title"! "TNT" PLAYED AND AS TIRPAK GOT HALFWAY UP THE RAMP, BRADSHAW CAME OUT TO CONGRATULATE HIM AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED. BATISTA AND SABLE LOOKED ON IN DISGUST. Cole: "Every champion goes into a triple threat completely aware of that being a possibility and what's even more important here is that Shane may've succeeded in taking some of the steam out of Batista and Lesnar's engine"! BACKSTAGE.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE.... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS AT SHANE's DESK AND HE IS WATCHING THE SHOW ON A LITTLE MONITOR IN HIS OFFICE. HE SPINS AROUND IN HIS CHAIR WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. Jordan Rockwell: "Hey, I'm happy about it too, brilliant match making. But what did you wanna see me for"? Shane McMahon: "Well remember when you came to me a couple days ago with concerns about the FBI all getting involved in your match tonight"? Rockwell: "Uh huh". Shane: "Well I found a solution to that problem and got you a corner man". Rockwell: "Oh no, you didn't. Who is it"? THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR AND WHEN IT OPENS, "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN IS STANDING THERE. Shane: "Is he here"? Stone Cold: "Yep, right here". JUST THEN, UFC CHAMPION TITO ORTIZ COMES IN. Stone Cold: "Jordan Rockwell, meet Tito Ortiz, he's gonna be in your corner tonight. AUSTIN PUTS HIS HAND ON ROCKWELL's SHOULDER. Now go out there and whip somebody's ass". Rockwell: "Works for me". "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND JAMIE NOBLE COMES OUT TO AN OVERLY NEGATIVE RESPONSE. Cole: "The fans here in the nation's capital are obviously not fond of Jamie Noble but what a shock.... Tito Ortiz at Eruption"! Ventura: "Tito Ortiz is a badass Cole, exactly the kind of guy I'd like to see in office some day but what's obvious is these people are not Mattitude followers! I would've made a day of Mattitude in the state of Minnesota if I still could"! "LOOSE" BY EMINEM STRIKES UP AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP AS THE 4 ELEMENTS LOGO SWIRLS AROUND ON THE VIDEO WALL. Cole: "Well they all seem to be Carney followers"! Ventura: "Yeah, maybe all the thirteen year old girls here in attendance! This match is not a popularity contest Cole and I think people are gonna realize how much Jamie Noble has improved since he aligned himself with Matt Hardy"! Cole: "Well Matt Hardy is not gonna be out here to help him thanks to Rey Mysterio's victory on PrimeTime. How much does that affect his gameplan"? Ventura: "Not at all Cole now that Carney told Mysterio to stay in the back with his moment of courage"! Cole: "I think it was a good move by a champion. Let's see who the best man is". TWF Lightheavyweight Title Match Challenger.... Jamie Noble vs. Carney As the bell sounded, Noble gave the crowd the middle finger as they heckled him before locking up with Carney. They spun around in the lockup, trying to get position but Noble backed him into the corner. Referee Jack Doan stepped in and asked for a clean break but Noble got in a cheap shot which led to a whip to the corner. Carney flew out with a forearm which was on the money followed by a swinging neckbreaker. He then went outside to the apron looking for the helo but Noble got his knees up in his lower back. Noble then wrenched Carney's leg back as he locked in a reverse chin lock. Doan looked on intently, making sure it did not become a choke hold. But Carney used his free leg to kick his way out of the hold and got to his feet. He bounced off the ropes but Noble drove a knee hard into his gut. He then dropped a knee right on the shin of Carney, causing a lot of pain. Noble then hung Carney up in the tree of woe and came in with a sliding dropkick but Carney pulled himself up and slung off. His right knee was kind of affected on the landing but he still delivered a nice dropkick. He then snap mared Noble before a somersault neckbreaker ala the late Mr. Perfect. Carney then decided to go up top but Noble shoved Doan into the ring ropes, causing him to fall and bump his groin on the turnbuckle. Doan looked around and blew it off as unintentional as Noble grabbed Carney in a front face lock and brought him off with a DDT you had to see to believe. He covered the champ but somehow, someway, Carney kicked out at 2 and three quarters. Noble then hit a northern lights suplex but again, could not get the whole 3 count. He went back to the leg, really trying to immobolize Carney. But as he pulled it out, Carney worked his way up and hit an enziguri that knocked him for a loop. Carney then sent him to the ropes and leapfrogged him but on the landing, Carney's knee buckled. He grabbed the knee with a grimace on his face as Noble came from behind with a shin breaker drop on his knee. He then locked in the "Trailer Hitch" in the center of the ring and Carney was in a word of trouble. He hung on for about 45 seconds before tapping in front of Daon who called for the bell. Match Time: 15:33 DOAN RAISED NOBLE's HAND AND HANDED HIM THE BELT AS "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" HIT. Ventura: "What did I tell you Cole?! Jamie Noble has done it"! Cole: "Jamie Noble has pulled an upset in my estimation but it was a well wrestled match on his part and Carney was just bested tonight"! Ventura: "That's how powerful a force Mattitude is! Matt Hardy didn't need to be out here physically but you know the force was here in some form Michael"! Cole: "Well I don't buy into this force stuff but Noble has become the Lightheavyweight champion at Eruption"! BACKSTAGE..... DRESSING ROOM.... TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS WORKING ON A PUNCHING BAG, PREPARING FOR HIS MATCH WHEN TRISH STRATUS WALKS IN. HE STOPS WHEN HE SEES HER. Travis Wakeman: "So.... did you talk to him"? Trish Stratus: "I sure did and he said he's got your back tonight if Mortis or Low Ki get involved". Wakeman: "Good". WAKEMAN GOES BACK TO HITTING THE BAG AS THE SHOT GOES OUTSIDE TO SHOW THE BEAUTIFUL WASHINGTON NIGHT AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE MCI CENTER. Cole: "There you see the MCI Center which has been jam packed with TWF fans who have been waiting for this event since it was announced to come here Jesse"! Ventura: "That they have and we are also proud to announce that TWF Eruption is being viewed in thirty two other countries tonight and we thank all of you for your support". THE FBI's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT IN FULL FORCE. Cole: "This is what we expected... all three members of the FBI are out here for this first ever crowbar on a pole match and there you see it". THE CAMERA SHOWS THE CROWBAR SUSPENDED FROM A FIFTEEN FOOT HIGH POLE WHICH GOES UP FROM THE TURNBUCKLE AND HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING. Ventura: "Well how do you think these guys felt when Tito Ortiz was put into this match? You oughta know by now Cole, you mess with one member of the FBI, you get them all"! "ROCK HARD" BY JA RULE HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH TITO ORTIZ AND TOGETHER, THEY RECEIVE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST POP OF THE NIGHT. Cole: "I think it's more than fair. Rockwell's tag team partner Rhyno is preparing for his Universal title match later with Brock Lesnar! Rockwell can't go three on one"! Ventura: "He got himself into this Cole"! Cole: "Well we know this situation between Rockwell and Frankie Kazarian has gotten very personal but if Kazarian could use Rockwell as a stepping stone tonight, great things are sure to follow"! Ventura: "So whoever gets that crowbar first wins"? Cole: "Yes and they must use that ladder next to the ring there to do so. It has been Kazarian who has been crowbar happy lately but Rockwell has vowed to change that tonight"! Crowbar on a Pole Match Frankie "The Future" Kazarian w/ The FBI vs. Jordan Rockwell w/ Tito Ortiz Rockwell seemed more at ease with Ortiz at ringside and he went right at Kazarian. A tradeoff of punches started and Rockwell got the best of it, rocking Kazarian against the ropes. He whipped him to the ropes and caught him with a powerslam before going out and grabbing the ladder. But as he set it on the apron, Kazarian dropkicked it right into his face. Kazarian then went outside and got in Ortiz' face before rolling Rockwell into the ring. He then stood the ladder up and climbed on top of it before leaping off with a missile dropkick on Rockwell. Kazarian was slow to get up as well and when he did, he hit a well executed neckbreaker. He then grabbed the ladder and put it into the ring before setting it in the corner and climbing up the turnbuckle. He then used the ladder to vault over and came down on Rockwell with a legdrop which drew "HOLY SHIT" chants from the crowd for almost a minute. Kazarian then positioned the ladder and went after the crowbar. But Rockwell got up and pushed it over, sending Kazarian out with his FBI mates. Rockwell then went outside the ring and hit Stamboli with a right hand before catching Maritato with a superkick after ducking a clothesline. Kazarian came from behind with a chair shot and then rolled Rockwell onto the announce table. He climbed up with him but Rockwell kicked him in the gut and hit a DDT right on the table! He then threw him to the floor before grabbing Cole's headset and hitting Kazarian in the head with it. That led to a sickening move in which Rockwell suplexed Kazarian onto the apron! He then went into the ring and began climbing the ladder. He was about halfway up when Kazarian flew in with a dropkick that knocked him off and got his wrist tied up in the ropes. Kazarian made his way over to Rockwell who was in a lot of pain and slapped him twice across the face. He then grabbed Guido's leather jacket from him and put it over Rockwell's head before throwing some stiff right hooks. Kazarian then yelled into the crowd but Ortiz freed Rockwell from the ropes. Kazarian came over and threw the jacket in the face of Ortiz but Rockwell came from behind with a backdrop suplex right onto the ladder. He then whipped him to the corner and locked in a sleeper. Kazarian countered with a sit down jawbreaker before measuring Rockwell for a superkick. He stood the ladder up and made his way up it but Rockwell got up and began climbing the other side. Both men reached the top but Rockwell rammed his head into the top step twice before bringing him off with the Rock Smasher! The two hit with a pounding sound but Rockwell was to his feet first. As he stood up, he was confronted by Stamboli and Maritato but Ortiz came from behind and took them both out with his rugged style. He nailed Maritato with a forearm and caught Stamboli with a sharp kick to the side of the head. Kazarian got to his feet and Rockwell put him back down with "Extreme Measures". He then re-positioned the ladder and climbed up it, grabbing the crowbar as the bell sounded. When he got to the mat, Ortiz helped Kazarian to his feet only so Rockwell could nail him with the crowbar as the crowd went nuts. Match Time: 17:29 Cole: "Rockwell has done it! He has overcome all the adversity placed upon him by the FBI and Frankie Kazarian and with the help of Tito Ortiz, he has triumphed"! ORTIZ RAISED ROCKWELL's ARM AND ROCKWELL RAISED THE CROWBAR IN THE AIR AS "ROCK HARD" HIT. Ventura: "That was ridiculous Michael Cole! Ortiz was out there to watch Rockwell's back.... not to get involved"! Cole: "The FBI might not like it, but what are they gonna do about it?! THE SHOT GOES TO THE OUTSIDE OF AN UNIDENTIFIED BUILDING. There you see the Washington state Mental Institution and that is where either Sean O'haire or Shane Thompson will be in just a little while"! Ventura: "That is one match I would've never agreed to Cole". INSIDE THE BUILDING, A WOMAN WITH LONG BLACK HAIR IS SHOWN HOLDING A MICROPHONE. Cole: "We are now going to talk with one of the counselors at this hospital, Veronica Valdez and Veronica, will you be counseling the loser of this match tonight"? Veronica Valdez: "Yes I will and as you can see behind me, that is the room that person will be staying". Ventura: "So uh, what kinds of things are you going to be trying to help them with"? Valdez: "Anything they want. Patients here are pretty open to talk about whatever they want to upon arrival so I will be more than willing to help with that". JUST THEN, A SCREAMING AND YELLING MAN IS BEING HAULED OFF BY SEVERAL GUARDS. Ventura: "What the..... Valdez: "Don't be alarmed.... that's commonplace". BACK AT THE ARENA, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND SEAN O'HAIRE's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT WALKING SLOWLY TO THE RING WEARING A LONG TRENCH COAT. Cole: "I don't envy the loser of this one". Ventura: "I don't think there's anyway this guy Shane Thompson can defeat O'haire and once he loses, he's gonna show everyone his true colors". "HAUNTED" BY EVANESCENCE HITS AND SHANE THOMPSON COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Cole: "Shane Thompson's theme music is called Haunted and it is very fitting because he has been haunted by all this psych ward stuff since his arrival here in the TWF as Crazy Shane". Ventura: "Not only did he call himself Crazy Shane, he claimed to have a screw loose Michael"! Cole: "I attribute that to a young man looking for a way to get an oppurtunity. Now, he's trying to shed all that and just be himself". Ventura: "Well first, he's gonna have to be humbled by spending a night in that hospital so he knows what that stuff is really about"! Sean O'haire vs. "Awesome" Shane Thompson *Loser spends the night at Washington State Mental Institution Thompson was up against a very physical O'haire who used his size to take control before wearing Thompson out with his martial artistry. After whipping Thompson to the ropes, O'haire went to one knee and caught him with a spinning backhand to the abdomen before boucning off the ropes and hitting a flying clothesline. He went for the cover but Thompson was up at 2. O'haire stayed on him with some thrusts to the throat but off an irish whip, Thompson ducked a backhand swing and came back with a cactus clothesline. He then rolled O'haire up with a bridge pin that got him a 2 count. Thompson whipped him to the corner and ran in, jumping onto the middle turnbuckle and laying some heavy right hands in as the crowd counted with him. But once he reached 7, O'haire stepped forward and dropped him on the top turnpad with some snake eyes. O'haire then sat him up and kicked him right in the chest, soccer style. He whipped him into the ropes and again from one knee, put an elbow in his gut followed by a running knee lift. O'haire then picked him up and set him on the top rope. He climbed up trying to bring Thompson off with a superplex but Thompson blocked it with a few quick punches to the gut before flipping over him and bringing him down with an unreal sunset flip powerbomb. He stacked him up for the 1......2....., but O'haire kicked out. Thompson pulled him up and whipped him to the corner. But when he followed in, O'haire moved and knocked him to the mat with a spinning heel kick. O'haire then picked him up onto his shoulders, looking to put him away but Thompson escaped and caught him with a beautiful superkick when he turned around. Thompson then put on the sharpshooter and O'haire was in a lot of trouble. He was able to block the pain though and make it to the ropes. Thompson stayed on him with some stomps to the back before pulling him up and hitting him with 3 knifedge chops. He whipped him to the ropes and went for a leapfrog but O'haire pulled him out of the air with a powerslam. He then sized Thompson up and went he got up, he delivered a jaw-jacking superkick and went for the cover. Referee Mike Sparks got down and made the count 1.......2......, but Thompson got his left shoulder off the mat. O'haire pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but Thompson avoided a jumping hook kick and lifted him onto his shoulders. Thompson swung around and dropped O'haire with a pancake bomb that brought Ooohs and Ahhs out of the crowd. He rolled O'haire over and sat on his chest while hooking one of his legs to get the 1....2....3. Match Time: 11:23 Cole: "What a move! Shane Thompson has won this thing"! Ventura: "Thompson has gotten lucky Michael! I can't believe this"! Cole: "Here come the orderlies"! A GROUP OF ORDERLIES HIT THE RING AND HANDCUFFED O'HAIRE BEFORE LEADING HIM TO THE BACK. A SICK SMILE COULD BE NOTICED ON O'HAIRE's FACE. Ventura: "Is he actually smiling"? Cole: "I wouldn't doubt it". THOMPSON JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD AND THEN RAISED HIS ARMS AS "HAUNTED" HIT AND THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERED. Ventura: "O'haire's in for quite a surprise, I don't see anything to smile about"! Cole: "Well if defeating Jordan Rockwell didn't equal a successful rookie year for this man... this certainly has! Shane Thompson is well on his way and will be a fixture on PrimeTime for years to come"! Ventura: "Well I 'spose that's better than him being a fixture on RAW. But the production guys say we have to do this so you do it Cole". Cole: "Okay, the TWF's next pay-per-view event is the annual October fiasco known as DoomsDay and this year, it will emanate live from the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York". THE 4 ELEMENTS LOGO APPEARS ON THE VIDEO WALL AND BEGINS TO SWIRL AROUND AS THE NEW THEME SONG OF 4 ELEMENTS, DONE BY OUR LADY PEACE HITS. Ventura: "Tag Team titles"! Cole: "That it is Jesse and we're startin' with not only the challengers, but the former champs and what you're hearing is the brand spankin' new theme song for the Four Elements done by Our Lady Peace and I dig it"! Ventura: "Yeah, it's not bad but this will be about the only time any Four Elements fans cheer during this one"! A CORD STRIKES AND THE MUSIC OF BROCK LESNAR HITS. HE COMES OUT BUT IS SOON FOLLOWED BY BATISTA AND SABLE. EACH HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "Well Jesse, you want the honors"? Ventura: "You know I do.... here comes the pain"! Cole: "I wouldn't get too confident because if you remember back to about an hour ago, Batista was unsuccessful in holding onto his Intercontinental title and in the match after next, Lesnar will be in the ring with a snarling manbeast to defend the Universal title"! Ventura: "They've got this Cole and I hope Shane is watching closely"! Cole: "Well one of the reasons for this match is because last month at MeltDown, Jansens and Benoit lost the titles without being pinned so you know they are ready to prove they are the rightful owners of the gold"! Ventura: "Good luck"! TWF Tag Team Title Match Challenegers.... Chris Benoit and Dylan Jansens vs. Brock Lesnar and Batista w/ Sable Eager to get back at Batista, Jansens started it off against him but was quickly slammed to the mat out of a tie up. Batista then clubbed him across the back before scooping him up and slamming him down. Batista then had some words for Benoit before bouncing off the ropes and missing with an elbow drop. Jansens got up and took Batista down with a chop block before going to the middle rope and hitting his bulldog again. Jansens made his way over and tagged in Benoit who came in with some quick kicks to the lower body of Batista followed by his signature knifedge chops. Benoit then hooked him up for a suplex but Batista countered it and suplexed Benoit over the top rope and to the floor. Lesnar went out there with him and picked him up, ramming him shoulder first into the steel post. He then rolled him back in and Batista took a page out of the wolverine's book, working on the shoulder. After a hard shoulder breaker, Batista tagged in Lesnar who came in with Benoit hurt and in trouble. Lesnar picked Benoit up and rammed him into the corner before driving all the wind out of him with shoulders to the midsection. Lesnar then hooked him up and delivered a belly to belly suplex before blatantly choking him, using all of referee Charles Robinson's 5 count. Lesnar then whipped him to the ropes and caught him when he went for a cross body block and delivered consecutive backbreakers across the knee. Not wanting to exert a lot of energy, Lesnar tagged out and Batista came back in, content on slowing things down with a physical attack. Benoit could muster little offense and each time he did, he was quickly knocked back down. After a gorilla press slam, Batista tagged Lesnar back in and he locked in his vise grip like bear hug on the mat. Benoit seemed like he was gonna go out but Jansens rallied the crowd from his corner. The fans began to chant "Benoit" and life was pumped back into him as he worked his way up to a vertical base and broke the bear hug with a double ear clap. He fell back as Lesnar charged with a clothesline. But he ducked and caught Lesnat with a running forearm which gave him the time to tag. Jansens entered the ring with a slingshot legdrop and then he bounced off the ropes as Benoit pushed him into the air for a big splash on Lesnar. He hooked the leg but Batista came in to break it up. Before Batista made it back to his corner, Benoit came from behind with a german suplex. Lesnar got up and drilled Benoit with a clothesline and tagged in Batista as he got back to his corner. Lesnar turned around to catch a dropkick from Jansens that knocked him over the ropes and to the floor. After legally tagging in Benoit, Jansens leaped over the top rope with a plancha onto Lesnar. In the ring, Batista and Benoit were trading shots until Batista got in a thumb to the eye. But when he came off the rope, Benoit locked in the Crossface to counter a clothesline. However, he let go of the hold when Sable got on the apron. Benoit pushed her aside when she tried to slap him but when he turned around Batista was waiting with a bone breaking spinebuster and he let out a roar as he delivered it. Sable then pulled down on Benoit's foot, preventing a kick out as the champions retained. Match Time: 16:54 Ventura: "Bingo! It didn't happen tonight Shane-O"! Cole: "All thanks to that no good jezebel as J.R. would say"! LESNAR AND BATISTA WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH THEIR TITLES IN THE AIR AND SABLE IN BETWEEN THEM. Ventura: "It doesn't matter Cole.... a win is a win"! Cole: "Jansens and Benoit have been screwed and I hope the same happens to Lesnar when he meets Rhyno"! TWF RE-WIND SHOWS THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON TRAVIS WAKEMAN BY CHRISTOPHER DANIELS AND MORTIS FROM THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF PRIMETIME. THE CLOUDY SCENE OF CHRISTOPHER DANIELS' ENTRANCE IS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO WALL. AS SOON AS DANIELS' MUSIC HITS, THE CLOUDS TURN BLACK AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. Cole: "Get ready folks. Get ready for what could truly be the PrimeTime match of the year"! Ventura: "It's gonna be hard to top what these two did at MeltDown but tonight, we are gonna get different results"! Cole: "That's a bold prediction Jesse because as we know, Daniels fell short of knocking off Wakeman at MeltDown and tonight, it's two out of three falls"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A VERY GOOD POP WITH TRISH STRATUS IN FRONT OF HIM. Ventura: "But in that time Cole, Daniels has become more comfortable here on PrimeTime, forming the Chosen and collecting the services of some underappreciated superstars". Cole: "It's the Eruption match and it's the Technical Magician versus The Fallen Angel and the first fall is submissions only"! Ventura: "Well I know the common belief is that Wakeman is favored in this first fall but Daniels is very versed in submissions as well". Cole: "First man to get a tap out wins"! Eruption Match 2 out of 3 Falls: Travis Wakeman w/ Trish vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels 1st Fall: Submissions Only Both men were very tentative in this one, not wanting to make a mistake. Wakeman tried to sweep Daniels legs out but Daniels kept him back with a swift kick. Daniels followed up with a clothesline but Wakeman ducked and caught him with a powerslam. Wakeman immediately went into a fujiwara armbar but Daniels quickly slipped out. The two locked up again and Wakeman took him into a top wrist lock. But using both hands, Daniels broke the hold and elbowed Wakeman in the stomach. Wakeman threw a right hand but Daniels ducked and caught him with a back spring kick to the head. Daniels then fell back with a dragon sleeper and Wakeman was in no man's land. But Wakeman bridged up, showing a great amount of strength but Daniels put him down with an elbow to the chest. Daniels reverted back to the dragon sleeper and Wakeman fought it off and worked his way to the ropes, where he put his foot. Daniels pulled Wakeman up and gave him a quick thrust jab to the throat before locking in a side headlock. He tried to get Wakeman down on the mat but Wakeman countered with a backdrop suplex. However, Daniels still had the heold on. Wakeman was starting to go out and Daniels quickly changed the hold into a chicken wing. Wakeman had his arm up, ready to tap but he shifted his elbow into side of Daniels and stood up with him on his back. Wakeman backed into the corner but Daniels again had a sleeper hold on and he took it into a sleeper drop. Daniels then pulled him up and locked in a standing dragon sleeper but Wakeman broke the hold with a double clap to either side of the body, a great counter. Daniels then bounced off the ropes but Wakeman grabbed him by the back of the head and launched him to the floor. Referee Mike Chioda advised Wakeman to stay in the ring but Wakeman went to go after Daniels. But as he stuck his head through the ropes, Daniels sprayed a fire extinguisher in his face. Chioda probably could've DQ'd him but let it go. Daniels then got in and whipped Wakeman to the ropes, looking again for the sleeper. But as soon as he got it on, Wakeman fell straight back and both men were down. Daniels got to his feet first and went to the middle turnbuckle. When Wakeman got up, he dove at him with a double foot front dropkick only to have Wakeman catch his feet and turn him over with the Sharpshooter. In the center of the ring, Daniels decided to cut his losses and tap out. Fall Time: 13:47 Cole: "Wakeman has gone ahead one-nothing with the move Bret Hart made famous and Daniels has gotta take two straight now Jesse"! Ventura: "No worries, Daniels can do it"! Cole: "There will now be a thirty second rest period before fall two"! Second Fall: Pinfalls Only As the bell sounded to get things back underway, Wakeman pulled Daniels up and delivered 2 forearms to the lower back followed by a pendulum backbreaker, trying to capitalize on the effects of the Sharpshooter. He went for the cover but Daniels kicked out at 2. Wakeman whipped him to the ropes and delivered a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker before pinning him again. Daniels again kicked out but even kicking out was tough for him. Wakeman stuck Daniels with a piledriver before rolling him into a cover as Chioda made the count 1......2...., but Daniels got a shoulder up. Wakeman decided to go for the hom erun and after a scoop slam, he went to the top rope. Trish clapped as he took to the air, looking for a guillotine legdrop but Daniels rolled away. Daniels followed up by running to the turnbuckle and coming off with a wild springboard moonsault that got a very near fall. Daniels pulled him up and delivered an innovative slingshot brainbuster after bouncing him off the top ring rope from a suplex position but rather than going for a cover, Daniels picked him up and sent him to the ropes. But he missed with a clothesline and Wakeman latched onto him for a belly to belly suplex. Wakeman again went to the top rope but again it was a mistake. He tried to come off with an axe handle but Daniels superkicked him right out of the air, a move the crowd couldn't believe. He picked Wakeman up, apparently for the dragon sleeper but he took it into the "Last Rites" and covered Wakeman for the 3 count. Match Time: 9:39 Ventura: "That's it! You wanna talk about a big league move Cole.... that move was awesome"! Cole: "Daniels calls that the Last Rites and we are even. This is where things could get real interesting because for the next thirty minutes, falls count anywhere in the arena and there are no disqualifications"! Ventura: "After thirty minutes are up, the man with the most decisions wins"! Third Fall: 30 Min. Marathon Match/Decisions count anywhere Both men were already worked out from the 20+ intense minutes from the two previous falls. Fall 3 started with a trade of right hands but Wakeman became the agressor after blocking one and he leveled Daniels with a headbutt before shooting him to the far side and drilling him with a clothesline. Wakeman then hit a spinning powerbomb but Daniels kicked out at 2. Daniels got a thumb to the eye in followed by a low blow. He followed up on the move with a headbutt of his own before clotheslining Wakeman out of the ring. He then took a chance, going for a front flip suicide dive but Wakeman moved out of the way. He covered him for the 3 count on the floor at the 8 and a half minute mark to go up 1-0. Wakeman pulled Daniels up and whipped him into the ring steps before grabbing a nearby electrical cord. He wrapped it around Daniels throat but Daniels broke it up when he sprayed something in Wakeman's eyes. Wakeman yelled in agony as Daniels hit a swinging ddt on the floor that tied it up. But Daniels was relentless and when Wakeman got to his feet, Daniels pasted him with a cheer he hardly saw coming. Daniels covered him for a second pin less than 2 minutes later. But not satisfied, Daniels laid Wakeman across the Spanish announce table and went to the top turnbuckle. Chioda tried to convince him not to jump but he did, crashing through Wakeman and the table with a cannonball. Chioda came over to make another 3 count and with about thirteen minutes left, Daniels had a commanding 3-1 lead. Wanting to preserve the lead, Daniels went back to the dragon sleeper after rolling Wakeman into the ring. Wakeman could hardly fight it off as a great camera angle showed his flushed out eyes. Trish began to grow very concerned and she got up on the apron. Daniels made his way over and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her into the ring. But Wakeman got up and tackled Daniels before throwing some very wild haymakers. He then picked Daniels up onto his shoulder and just threw him out of the ring. He followed him out and tossed him into the crowd. The fans made an opening as Wakeman walked Daniels towards the exit, hitting him in the head every couple seconds. After throwing Daniels into a nearby concession stand, Wakeman took a minute to collect himself and he went for the cover. Chioda came over and counted 1.......2....., but Mortis and Low Ki showed up, breaking the fall. Wakeman tried to fight them off but he had no chance and was quickly overcome. Daniels grabbed a steel chair from Mortis and was ready to put the nail in the coffin but Wsuddenly, Rob Van Dam came out and kicked the chair right in his face with the Van Daminator! RVD then took on Mortis and Low Ki as Wakeman rolled onto Daniels and got a 3 count, making it a one fall deficit with about 2 minutes left. Wakeman furiously took it to Daniels but the 3 on 2 advantage was still a problem. RVD and Low Ki traded shots as Wakeman lifted Daniels up for the "Royal Flush" as the clock counted down from 15 seconds. But before he could deliver it, Mortis came from behind with a chair shot to the back of the head and Daniels got out of the area. When Wakeman got up, Mortis cracked him again with the chair as the bell sounded. RVD came over but Mortis drilled him too as Daniels' music hit. Match Time: 50:02 Ventura: "AHAHAHAHAHA.... it's over Cole! Wakeman has been defeated by the Chosen"! Cole: "Yeah, all of them! RVD tried his damdest to help but the strength in numbers was too much and Christopher Daniels has won one of the best matches I have ever seen"! Ventura: "This was a damn impressive match Cole but not even Tito Ortiz could've stopped these men tonight! Think of what this could do for PrimeTime and all it's underappreciated talent"! Cole: "Oh they're not underappreciated! They want attention drawn to them and they come up with something like that to get it! One thing they are is dangerous and I hope someone takes notice"! WASHINGTON STATE MENTAL INSTITUTION.... CAMERAS SHOW THE ARRIVAL OF SEAN O'HAIRE. A PATTY WAGON PULLS UP AND 3 UNIFORMED OFFICERS LEAD O'HAIRE OUT THE BACK ALONG WITH SOME ORDERLIES. O'HAIRE IS STILL GRINNING AS THE GROUP ENTERS THE HOSPITAL. BACK AT THE ARENA.... DRESSING ROOM.... BACK INSIDE MATT HARDY AND JAMIE NOBLE's LOCKER ROOM, THEY ARE CELEBRATING.

Matt Hardy: "That my friend, is Mattitude at it's best". MATT POPS THE CORK OFF A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE. Noble: "WOOOOOOO"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE SOUND OF A ROARING RHINOCEROS IS HEARD AS RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT BATTING HIE CHEST. Cole: "The motor city manbeast is on his way out for the biggest match of his career and Jesse, you gotta admit he has a good chance to win this"! Lesnar: "I don't think the Marines have a good shot at defeating Lesnar but I suppose anything is possible"! A CORD STRIKES AND BROCK LESNAR's MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT LOOKING VERY FOCUSED. Cole: "Well here's a surprise.... Lesnar is alone"! Ventura: "He's got a point to prove tonight just as he did in the tag team title match and as I said then, I hope you're watching McMahon"! Cole: "A number of internet reporters were said to be surprised about the decision to make Rhyno the number one contender Jesse"! Ventura: (sarcastically) "Well don't knock the internet, they know everything. But we know this man is not only Shane McMahon's ideal opponent for Lesnar, but also Steve Austin's"! Cole: "Oh look out...... JUST THEN, LESNAR ATTACKED RHYNO FROM BEHIND AS REFEREE EARL HEBNER WAS GIVING HIM A LOOK AT THE BELT AND THE BELL SOUNDED. TWF Universal Title Match Challenger.... Rhyno vs. Brock Lesnar This was without question one of the most intense title bouts of all time as Rhyno dropped Lesnar with a shoulder tackle off an irish whip, nullifying his sneak attack. Rhyno then headbutted Lesnar in the trapezius as he held his arms before whipping him to the ropes and running through him with a clothesline. Rhyno then backed Lesnar up with some hard right hands before driving his shoulders into his abdomen. But Lesnar switched the position and put his shoulders into Rhyno's gut before pulling him out and headbutting him. Lesnar then picked Rhyno up with an impressive chokehold with both hands around his throat. Hebner reached a 4 count and Lesnar just dropped Rhyno before using the heel of his boot to push into Rhyno's esophagus area. Rhyno was slowed down as Lesnar continued to just slowly dissect the challenger. But the tide dramatically turned when Rhyno reversed an irish whip and caught Lesnar with a skull rattling spinebuster. Rhyno then set up for the "Gore" and blasted Lesnar with it when he got up. But amazingly, Lesnar kicked out at 2 when he covered him. Hoping conditioning would affect Lesnar from having to wrestle once already, Rhyno went into a reverse chin lock while sitting on his back. Every time Lesnar tried to get up, Rhyno just jumped up and sat down on his back. But Lesnar was not about to give up so Rhyno whipped him to the corner and charged in. But he posted his shoulder when Lesnar moved and Brock threw him across the ring with an overhead belly to belly. Lesnar covered him and hooked the outside leg but could only manage a 2 count. Moments later, Rhyno ducked a clothesline off an irish whip and came off the other side with one of his own. But Lesnar threw one as well and both men were down. Lesnar got the worst of it and Rhyno made the cover but Lesnar got his shoulder up at 2. Rhyno then pulled Lesnar up slowly and shot him to the ropes, looking for another spinebuster. But Lesnar's athletic ability came into play as Rhyno picked him up and started to turn, Lesnar drove the point of his elbow into his shoulder and neck area, forcing Rhyno to drop him. Rhyno tried to shake off the sting but Lesnar hoisted him up onto his shoulders and delivered the "F5" to get the 1......2......3. Match Time: 12:51 Cole: "Oh! F5 and Rhyno has been laid to waste"! Ventura: "I told ya Cole, it'd take the National Gaurd to take out Lesnar or King Kong or someone like that"! Cole: "This has sent a strong message to Shane! They took two out of the three challenges tonight and came out on top"! Ventura: "Well he's about to send another message to Rhyno"! AS SOON AS RHYNO GOT UP, LESNAR HIT HIM SQUARE IN THE FACE WITH THE BELT. THE FANS WENT WILD AS JORDAN ROCKWELL CAME OUT AND TOOK IT TO LESNAR, KNOCKING HIM INTO THE CORNER. ROCKWELL HUNCHED DOWN, PREPARING FOR THE "EXTREME MEASURES" BUT FROM BEHIND CAME BATISTA AND HE SWUNG A STEEL CHAIR AS IF IT WAS A BASEBALL BAT, DRILLING ROCKWELL IN THE FACE AND KNOCKING HIM CLEAN OUT. Cole: "What kind of message is that?! Someone stop these two"! Ventura: "It can't be done Michael..... it can't be done"!
