SHE IS SURROUNDED BY FANS OF ALL AGES, READY TO ENTER THE ARENA. Idalis: "Hello fans and welcome to Uprising where we are moments away from TWF Eruption, a pay-per-view showcasing the stars of PrimeTime! For the last few hours, these fans have been lining up around the outside of the Mellon arena here in Pittsburgh and I gotta tell ya, a lot of the talk surrounds tonight's huge main event! A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH JORDAN ROCKWELL ON ONE SIDE AND SHANE THOMPSON ON THE OTHER. This crowd is firmly behind the Franchise Jordan Rockwell tonight and don't forget that the man who loses this match also loses the chance to become Universal champion for as long as the other man has the title. Now, did you guys see Chaos Wolf turning on Vlad the Impaler? THE FANS LOUDLY BOO Well tonight, these former friends will meet in a stretcher match, take a look. VIDEO PACKAGE: CHAOS WOLF VS.

VLAD IS THEN SHOWN STANDING IN THE RING ON THE LATEST PRIMETIME, LOOKING AT WOLF ON THE PRIMETRON DISPLAYING A WAX DUMMY OF HIM ON A STRETCHER REPEATING THE QUOTE "THIS IS YOUR FATE". Idalis: "Will that be Vlad's fate tonight? THE FANS UNANIMOUSLY SAY "NO". We will find out later on tonight but another big match tonight will decide a new number one contender for the Universal title". VIDEO PACKAGE: EDGE VS. CHRISTIAN THE PACKAGE STARTS BY SHOWING EDGE TELLING CHRISTIAN THAT HE CAN CHOOSE TO BE WITH HIM OR AGAINST HIM, BUT EITHER WAY HE IS WINNING THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AT MELTDOWN. THE FOOTAGE GOES TO MELTDOWN LAST MONTH AND SHOWS EDGE BEING ELIMINATED FIRST FROM THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER AND THEN YELLING "IT's CHRISTIAN's FAULT" I DIDN'T WIN THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER". AFTER A FEW SHOTS ARE SHOWN FROM YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE A TAG TEAM, THE REPLAY OF CHRISTIAN PUTTING EDGE THROUGH A TABLE ON THE LAST PRIMETIME IS SHOWN, COMPLETE WITH ACTUAL COMMENTARY. Idalis: "What do you think guys, Edge or Christian"?! THE FANS YELL OUT BOTH NAMES ALTHOUGH SOME OF THEM JUST BOO. Idalis: "Okay well we are just about fifteen minutes away from Eruption but when we get back here on Uprising, Ken Kennedy is gonna face Mariner in singles action". ARENA PARKING LOT..... CAMERAS CATCH THE ENTRANCE OF A LIMOSINE. THE DRIVER GETS OUT AND OPENS THE BACK DOOR AS THE HORSEMEN GET OUT.

Jesse Ventura: "There was no error, I saw it too and I want to know what the hell they're doing here". "With a Thousand Words to say but one" by Darkest Hour hits and Mariner comes out in his camoflauge shorts to a big cheer. Cole: "This is a PrimeTime only event so let's just hope security does their job and gets them the hell out of here"! Ventura: "We've got Mariner and this new guy Ken Kennedy set to go one on one and it should go without saying that Kennedy is rising on my list of favorites". Cole: "Two of the bright young stars here on PrimeTime and what a way to kick off the festivities tonight"! Ken Kennedy vs. Mariner The last match between these two men ended in a DQ on Uprising and much like last time, Mariner took quick control of the contest. But a mistimed missile dropkick led to a stiff DDT from Kennedy which he followed up with the devastating "Lambeau Leap" to get the 1.......2......3. Match Time: 5:40 AFTER THE MATCH, KENNEDY GRABBED THE MICROPHONE. Cole: "Here we go with this again". Ventura: "I love it".

A HIGHLIGHT CLIP OPENS UP, SHOWING SHANE THOMPSON IN ACTION AS "THIS TIME's FOR REAL" BY LIL NINO BEGINS TO PLAY. FOOTAGE OF JORDAN ROCKWELL IS THEN INTERSPERSED IN BEFORE THE PACKAGE RUNS FOOTAGE OF THE TWO AND THEIR HISTORY TOGETHER. FROM THEIR FIRST MATCH, A STREET FIGHT, TO THE IRON GATES MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA 5 TO THE 2004 KING OF THE RING AND FINALLY, THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH AT MELTDOWN LAST MONTH, COMPLETE WITH COMMENTARY FROM THE EVENT ITSELF. AS THE CLIP CONTINUES TO ROLL, IMAGES OF TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS BEGIN TO FADE IN AND OUT. Audio Voiceover: "The Universal title....... The lifeblood for two of the TWF's biggest stars. Tonight, one of them will see it fade away..... for how long is anyone's guess. Tonight, withness one man deal a potential deathblow to the career of their longstanding rival". Shane Thompson: "Face facts Rockwell, your run is over. I'm the franchise now"! Jordan Rockwell: "Thompson, you say I didn't beat you at MeltDown. Well that's fine because tonight, I will prove that you aren't as good as me, and you never will be". ROCKWELL AND THOMPSON ARE THEN SHOWN FACE TO FACE IN CARTOON LIKE IMAGES AS THE ERUPTION LOGO CUTS IN BETWEEN THEM AND EXPLODES, BRINGING THE ARENA INTO FULL VIEW. Voiceover: "And now, Snickers Cruncher and TWF Entertainment present.......... FIREWORKS AND PYRO BOMBARD THE ARENA FROM THE SET WHICH IS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR, A HUGE VOLCANO WITH AN OPENING IN THE CENTER FOR THE ENTRANCE AND THE ILLUSION OF LAVA FLOWING OUT ONTO THE RAMP. Michael Cole: "We thank you all for joining us wherever you are out there! Thirty-eight countries have tuned in to catch TWF Eruption tonight Jesse, where you will only see the stars of PrimeTime"! Jesse Ventura: "Or so we think. Anyone who just watched Uprising know that the Horsemen are in the building, that is unless security has already removed them"! Cole: "These fans know that they are in for a classic later when Jordan Rockwell andn Shane Thompson meet for the Universal title in a Last Chance, TLC match but from top to bottom, this could be the biggest pay-per-view event for us this year partner"! JUST THEN, AN EXPLOSION IS HEARD AND FLAMES RISE FROM THE ENTRANCE AS MORDECAI COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC, CARRYING HIS SYMBOLIC STAFF. Ventura: "And here comes the pale rider Michael, what an imposing individual this guy is"! Cole: "He has promised that Bahamut will pay for his sins tonight but no one seems to know what those sins are"! Ventura: "If this man says they're a sinner, I'll take his word for it". THE CROWD COMES TO A FEVER PITCH AS "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HITS AND BAHAMUT COMES OUT, PUMPED UP TO SEE THE HUGE CROWD. Cole: "Well that is Mordecai's promise but this guy has a promise of his own! He has vowed that the one man crusade, as Mordecai likes to refer to it, will come to an end tonight"! Ventura: "Two very big, very strong men in this one Michael. I don't look for it to last too long"! Cole: "It'll be strength against strength as you said but Bahamut has a serious advantage in fan support and I think that could drive him to the win"! Mordecai vs. Bahamut As the bell sounded, Mordecai removed his white robe before taking a long, hard stare at his staff that had been placed in some sort of stand at the end of the ramp. Bahamut moved in and threw a right hand but Mordecai shook it off and fired back with one of his own. A trade off of punches then ensued with each men getting in 3 shots before Mordecai caught him with a kneelift. He then fired him into the corner but Bahamut kicked him in the face as charged in before smashing him with a clothesline. Bahamut then got the crowd involved before sending Mordecai to the ropes and lifting him up for a huge sideslam. He made the cover but didn't even get a 2 count. Bahamut pulled him back up and went for a slam but Mordecai pounded him across the back before lifting him up onto his shoulder and powerslamming him to the mat. After a big legdrop, Mordecai went for the cover but Bahamut kicked out at 2. Mordecai hammered Bahamut with some more right hands before bouncing off the ropes, looking for a clothesline but Bah countered with a big boot to the face. After a delay vertical suplex, Bahamut felt he had things well in control and began to ascend the turnbuckle from the front side of it. But Mordecai showed tremendous recovery, popping up and smashing Bahamut with a swinging right hand to the ribs. He then turned around and grabbed Bahamut's arms, positioning him and then delivering the "Crucification Powerbomb" and he covered him for the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 5:08 Cole: "There is no way anyboy is getting up from that! He just dumped Bahamut right on the back of his head"! Ventura: "That should send a message to all the sinners in the back! The pale rider and his crusade is not something you want to be in the path of"! Cole: "What sinners?! Mordecai is whacked, that's all I can say and this crowd is stunned that he has defeated one of the all time greats here in the TWF"! REPLAYS SHOW THE POWERBOMB FROM TWO DIFFERENT ANGLES. ONCE BACK TO LIVE ACTION, BAHAMUT IS SHOWN WALKING UP THE RAMP TO A STANDING OVATION FROM THE FANS BUT MORDECAI EMERGES FROM THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND ATTACKS HIM AGAIN. Cole: "What the hell is this?! The match is over"! AFTER USING HIS STAFF TO STAB AT BAHAMUT's ABDOMEN, HE POSITIONED HIM AGAIN FOR THE POWERBOMB. Ventura: "Oh no, he can't be thinking of doing this". WITH THAT, MORDECAI LIFTED HIM UP AND THREW HIM OFF THE SET WITH THE CRUCIFICATION POWERBOMB, RIGHT INTO THE SOUNDSTAGE! SPARKS FLEW EVERYWHERE AND THE FANS SCREAMED AS MORDECAI LOOKED UPWARDS WITH A SICK GRIN ON HIS FACE. REFEREES CAME OUT FROM THE BACK, HUSTLING TO TURN THE POWER OFF. Cole: "Oh my God! What the hell.... what the hell"?! Ventura: "They gotta get the power off, Bahamut could get shocked bad"! Cole: "Mordecai has destroyed Bahamut and for what?! The only sinner I see around here Jesse, is him"! Ventura: "Bahamut could be hurt badly, here come the paramedics"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW JORDAN ROCKWELL AND VLAD THE IMPALER TALKING WHEN DYLAN JANSENS COMES UP. Dylan Jansens: "Hey guys, I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but I still don't think either one of you realizes the seriousness of the matches you are involved in tonight". Jordan Rockwell: "DJ, I already had this talk with you man". Jansens: "Vlad, there's still time to call off your match with Chaos, I could help you two talk this out". Vlad the Impaler: "There ain't no way DJ, I want no part of him anymore other than to put his ass on a stretcher tonight and have him carted out of here". Jansens: "So where does that leave the group"? Rockwell: "Like I said earlier, we can reevaluate that after tonight". NOT SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER, JANSENS WALKS OFF. IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, OFFICIALS AND PARAMEDICS ARE WHEELING BAHAMUT ON A STRETCHER TO AN AWAITING AMBULANCE. Cole: "This crowd is still in shock over what we just saw and I can tell ya folks, Bahamut is out, he hasn't responded to anyone". Ventura: "It definitely doesn't look good". Cole: "We'll try to keep you posted tonight if we hear anything but if not, we promise to give you all the details on TWF.com as soon as they become available". CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE IS SHOWN KNEELING ON THE RAMP. HE STANDS UP AND PUSHES OFF HIS CAPE, FLEXING HIS MUSCLES AND SHOWING OFF HIS STATUESQUE BODY ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP IS RICK MARTEL, WHO IS STANDING WITH FULL SIZE MIRROR. ON MASTERS' FOREHEAD IS A BANDAGE. Cole: "We're ready for more action and here comes the Masterpiece and look at Martel down there, come on". Ventura: "Shhhh Cole! Do you talk that loud when you go to a museum"? Cole: "I'm not even gonna get started on that subject with you but I can't help but notice the one blemish on Masters tonight". Ventura: "And I expect Taylor Made to pay and pay dearly for it". "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT TO A LOUD POP WITH A VERY SCANTILY CLAD SABLE. Cole: "Taylor caused the cut on the forehead of Masters by throwing his head first into a mirror on the set of Martel's Fashion Show on the last PrimeTime. But speaking of blemishes, you won't find one on Sable.... wow"! Ventura: "And you won't find one on Martel either". Cole: "Well I'll let you be the judge of that but this match is not going to be about who looks the best. These two men have had an issue with the other ever since Masters was traded to PrimeTime. Each man has one win over the other so tonight will be a rubber match of sorts"! Ventura: "Well I predict tonight to be the breakout night for Masters. With Martel in his corner, there is no way he'll lose this thing". "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters w/ Rick "The Model" Martel vs. Taylor Made w/ Sable Referee Mike Enos called for the bell to start the match and the two men locked up. Masters easily tossed Taylor backwards into the corner before giving him a shot of his huge arms in a Hulk Hogan-like flex. Taylor got up and curiously locked up with Masters again. But this time, he used a go behind before running his hands up Masters' chest. This clearly got under the skin of Masters as he pushed away and threw a clothesline but Taylor ducked and caught him with a quick savat kick right on the jaw. He then went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a double axe handle that took Masters off his feet. Taylor locked in a dragon sleeper but he couldn't keep Masters down as he showed his unbelievable strength, bridging up while still in the hold and reversing it into a release northern lights suplex. He then knocked him back down with a shoulder tackle before pulling him up and again displaying his power with a delay vertical suplex that would make Davey Boy Smith proud. From there, Masters dropped an elbow across his chest but could only get a 2 count. He pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but after ducking a backhand, Taylor came off the other side of the ropes with a big flying forearm. He then mounted Masters and rammed the back of his head into the mat repeatedly before hitting the ropes again for a basement dropkick. Masters got to his feet but Taylor was using his quickness to work circles around him. He went for a hip toss but Masters blocked it and threw a clothesline only to have Taylor duck and pull him into a big DDT. He made the cover, hooking the leg but could only get a 2 count. Martel got up on the apron but Sable came around and pulled him down by his foot, slapping him across the face. But from behind, Masters tried to get in the "Masterlock". Enos was not paying attention to the two wrestlers as he yelled for Sable and The Model to break it up and Taylor used a mule kick to escape Masters' clutches. He then kicked him right in the face with a yakuza kick after hitting the ropes and he again got a long 2 count on the cover. Again, Taylor went to the top rope, looking for the double axe handle but Masters caught him in mid air, locking in a bear hug. Masters was squeezing with all his might and Taylor was fading fast. But just as Enos came around to check his arms, Taylor used an ear clap, followed by another, to break the hold. With Masters trying to recover, Taylor bounced off the ropes but Masters smashed him with a clothesline that turned him completely inside out and he made the cover to get the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 12:17 Ventura: "What a clothesline! Is Taylor's head still attached"?! Cole: "He knocked Taylor for an unbelievable loop there and he has won this match"! MASTERS BLEW SABLE A KISS AS HIS MUSIC KICKED UP AND HE EXITED THE RING, LEAVING WITH MARTEL WHO SPRAYED ARROGANCE INTO THE BOOING CROWD. Ventura: "Mark my words Michael, Rick Martel is going to teach this young kid how to win and with his physical skills, he will become a major player here on PrimeTime"! Cole: "Like him or not, Masters looks very good". BACKSTAGE...... IDALIS IS SHOWN STANDING WITH CHRIS PLATOON WHO IS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE SAME BLOWN UP PICTURE THAT MUHAMMAD HASSAN SHOWED LAST WEEK. Idalis: "Chris Platoon, up next you will face Muhammad Hassan, who tried to....... Chris Platoon: "Tried to what, embarrass me last week? Hassan, do you think this picture embarrasses me? Hell no it doesn't, I love for everyone to see where I've been and where I've come from. It's been said all along that I've already defeated my greatest challenge so tonight, I don't sweat you one damn bit! You brought up the fact that the doctors who treated my cancer were foreign and ya know what, I'm not gonna deny it. But the country I live in, the country that lets me go out and raise awareness for the disease and talk to those who are inflicted with it is the United States of America! So I know you feel you've been wronged during your time here Hassan and tonight, you are definitely going to be wronged because tonight, I am going to give you a good old fashioned ass kicking, courtesy of the red, white and blue"! THE ARABIC CHANT OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT IN HIS FULL ENTRANCE GEAR, HEADDRESS AND ALL. HE IS FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY THE TURBAN-WEARING TIGER ALI SINGH. Cole: "Obviously a very emotional Chris Platoon but Jesse, as much as you and I don't care for Hassan, we can agree that Platoon may've bitten off a little more than he can chew here". Ventura: "Absolutely Michael. Muhammad Hassan has defeated huge stars here on PrimeTime such as Dylan Jansens and Rome! I love the heart being displayed by Platoon but he has a tough fight in front of him tonight". Cole: "Hassan out here of course with his confidante Tiger Ali Singh, I just don't see how anyone can like these two. JUST THEN, A FAMILIAR TUNE HITS AND TOBY KEITH COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, CARRYING A MICROPHONE AND WEARING A COWBOY HAT TO A HUGE CHEER. Look at this! It's country superstar Toby Keith"! Ventura: "I can't believe this, what is he doing here"?! Toby Keith: "American girls, American guys.......... KEITH PROCEEDS TO PERFORM "COURTESY OF THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE" AS THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY NUTS. WHEN HE REACHED THE FAMOUS "WE'LL PUT A BOOT IN YOUR ASS" LINE, PLATOON CAME FROM THE CROWD AND ATTACKED HASSAN. Cole: "Oh look at this! Platoon had an ambush set up"! Chris Platoon vs. Muhammad Hassan w/ Tiger Ali Singh Platoon was absolutely on fire with the hot crowd behind him. Tiger Ali Singh tried to get involved but Platoon knocked his turban off and kicked it into the crowd after a right hand. He then went back to Hassan who slowed him down with a thumb to the eye. Hassan then rocked him with 2 right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a big back elbow. Hassan then taunted the crowd who was all over him. Platoon battled back with right hands from his knees before getting up and knocking Hassan down with a calf kick. He then pulled him up in a reverse headlock and dropped him with a reverse DDT. He made the cover but Singh was on the apron distracting referee Chris Kay. Platoon got up to get his attention but Hassan came from behind with a knee to the back. He then delivered a stiff side backbreaker before rolling Platoon over and locking in a bow and arrow. Platoon was in a lot of pain as Hassan pulled back on the move. But after over a minute in the hold, Platoon was able to reach his leg to the bottom rope and Kay began his 5 count. Hassan broke the hold at 4 but stayed on the back of Platoon, trying to set up the Camel Clutch. Hassan pulled him to his feet and delivered a swinging neckbreaker and, feeling he had the match well in hand, went to the top rope. He jumped off but from his knees again, Platoon punched him in the gut. Hassan was doubled over in pain as Platoon bounced off the ropes but Singh grabbed his foot. Kay saw this and told Singh to go to the back, a decision the crowd loved. Hassan got to his feet and kicked Platoon in the midsection, delivering a big DDT. He gave a dispicable throat slash gesture as Tiger Ali Singh ran back down to the ring. But Toby Keith ran back out and spun Singh around, catching him with a big clothesline. Hassan saw this and made an attempt to go after Keith but Platoon came from behind with an attempt at a german suplex. Hassan grabbed the top rope to block the move and knocked Platoon off him with an elbow to the mouth. Hassan then went for a clothesline but Platoon ducked and hooked his arms, pulling him over in a backslide to steal a 3 count which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Match Time: 9:44 Cole: "Chris Platoon has done it"! Ventura: "Listen to this crowd, now that's what you call an eruption"! "FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN HIT AS CHANTS OF "USA" FILLED THE MELLON ARENA AND TOBY KEITH CAME TO THE RING TO RAISE THE HAND OF PLATOON. Cole: "This might be the biggest win of Chris Platoon's wrestling career and who would've thought that he would get help from one of the top country artists in the world"! Ventura: "I've never been much of a fan of country but I love this"! HASSAN AND SINGH LOOKED ON IN ANGER FROM THE RAMP AS PLATOON AND KEITH CELEBRATED WITH THE RAUCOUS CROWD. PRODUCTION TRUCK...... OUTSIDE IN THE PRODUCTION TRUCK, RANDY ORTON IS LOOKING OVER FOOTAGE OF HIS MATCH WITH BATISTA AT WAR IN THE WINTER IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. IT SHOWS WHERE HE CAME OFF THE TOP ROPE AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE POWERFUL BATISTA. Randy Orton: "Ya see that, I won't make that mistake tonight. JUST THEN, ORTON PICKED UP ONE OF THE VIDEO TECHNICIANS BY THE COLLAR. Did you hear me buddy?! I said I won't make that mistake tonight! I will not lose to Batista again"! Video Technician: "Oh.... oh.... okay". ORTON LETS THE MAN GO BEFORE LEAVING THE TRUCK. Orton: "And tell whoever you need to to play his music first. We're saving the best for last tonight". BATISTA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO THE ROAR OF THE CROWD AS PYRO FIRES OFF BEHIND HIM. Cole: "Here comes Batista! Perhaps the strongest man in the TWF, Randy Orton has his hands full tonight"! Ventura: "Randy Orton is desperate to prove he can beat this guy, but it isn't gonna be easy". "BURN IN MY LIGHT" BEGINS TO PLAY AS PYRO POURS DOWN FROM ABOVE THE SET, BRINGING RANDY ORTON OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Cole: "It was just over nine months ago that these two former tag team partners met at War in the Winter. Batista won in a very good match and then the two agreed to have each other's back but that all went out the window, in my assumption, at MeltDown when Orton tried to eliminate Batista from the Elimination Chamber". Ventura: "But you have to agree with what Orton said, it is every man for themself in that match"! Cole: "Orton said he knew that Batista would kick out of the RKO so what does Orton have planned tonight? Can the RKO beat Batista"? Batista vs. Randy Orton The match started with Orton all over Batista before the bell rang. Once the match became official, Orton shot him to the ropes and smashed Batista with his picture perfect dropkick. Orton had the fast start he wanted but he got a little sloppy, picking Batista up and slapping him across the face. But after hitting the ropes, he was belted with a clothesline. Orton rolled out of the ring to regroup but Batista followed him. Orton tried to turn with a surprise right hand but Batista blocked it and hit him with a right hand of his own before whipping him into the steel ringpost. Orton hit the post hard on his right arm before going back into the ring and catching Batista with a boot to the back when he got back in. Orton followed that with an elbow to the back of the head before getting the big man up and rocking him with some stiff european uppercuts. He tried to go for an irish whip but Batista reversed it right into his signature spinebuster. Again, Orton rolled out of the ring to try and stop his momentum. Batista stood at the foot of the ring, waiting for Orton to get to the apron. When he did, he tried to grab him but Orton pulled him down over the top rope with a hangman before quickly getting back into the ring and hitting the "RKO". The crowd couldn't believe their eyes as referee Charles Robinson made the 1.......2......., but Batista kicked out. Orton tried to pull at the little hair he had in frustration before going to the top rope and coming off but Batista recovered to catch him with a clothesline that put Orton down hard. Batista got up and emphatically signaled for the end, pulling Orton up and delivering his "Batista Bomb" to get the 1..............2.........3. Match Time: 4:30 Cole: "Just like at MeltDown, the RKO can't keep Batista down and just like last year at War in the Winter, a mistimed high risk move has cost Orton the match"! Ventura: "Maybe it's true Michael, maybe Orton can't beat Batista"! ORTON HOBBLED UP THE RAMP IN BOTH PAIN AND FRUSTRATION AS BATISTA CELEBRATED WITH THE CROWD, WHO WAS VERY INTO THE ACTION AT THIS POINT. Cole: "Well so far he can't, the animal has his number"! BACKSTAGE.... SHANE McMAHON's OFFICE..... SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE WHEN RIC FLAIR COMES IN. Ric Flair: "Shane-O". Shane McMahon: "Hey Naitch, what's up"? Flair: "Listen man, I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but Rampage is in the building. I don't know about you, but I'd like to know what they're doing here". Shane: "What do you mean Rampage is here"? Flair: "Stephanie and her goons, they showed up quite awhile ago". Shane: "Well I don't care what they're doing here. This is a PrimeTime event". SHANE QUICKLY LEAVES HIS OFFICE WITH A PURPOSE. Chae is shown backstage reading the Primetime magazine when Chaos Wolf comes up behind her. Chae turned around when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She smiled when she saw Chaos Wolf standing there.
Chaos Wolf: "Hey baby, you ready for tonight"?
Chae: "You know it. Vlad won’t know what hit him".
Wolf: "Good, if everything goes according to plan, then you will get a nice reward".
Chae: "I’ll look forward to this reward".
Wolf: "Here’s a sample of what you’ll get Chae".
Wolf grabbed Chae by the hair and forcibly kissed her. Wolf let go after a minute and walked off while Chae just stood there with a smile on her face. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, THE CAMERAS SHOW A STRETCHER SITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, NEAR THE RING. Cole: "Are you ready? That stretcher will be the key to victory between these one time friends and tag team partners". "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND VLAD THE IMPALER COMES OUT TO A HUGE REACTION. Ventura: "Well I think Dylan Jansens posed a very good question earlier. What will become of the New Breed? I think I have an answer and that is that this match will put an official end to the New Breed"! Cole: "Well I know I was under the impression that Chae had left Chaos Wolf but that was obviously just another plan, another sneaky plan, how many of those have we seen tonight"?! Ventura: "The question is, is Vlad aware she hasn't"? "IN THE END" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO SOME MAJOR BOOS. Cole: "I will never forget the night when this man cowardly turned his back on Vlad, the New Breed and the fans and I know they'd like to see nothing more than for him to leave this match on a stretcher"! THE CAMERAS SHOW A YELLOW LINE AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE. Ventura: "That line right there is the point where one of these men must pull the stretcher past, with their opponent on it, to win". Cole: "And can you imagine what these two will have to do to each other in order to do that". VLAD WAS WAVING HIS HANDS, DARING WOLF TO GET INTO THE RING. Ventura: "Of all the matches these two have been in over the years, I can't imagine one they would hate to lose more than this one". Stretcher Match Vlad the Impaler vs. Chaos Wolf Chaos Wolf got into the ring 30 seconds after the bell sounded and Vlad was all over Chaos Wolf with wild right hands to the head and back as Wolf did his best to cover up. Vlad then got a running charge and clotheslined Wolf over the top rope and to the floor. After ramming Wolf face first into the steel ring steps, Vlad got behind the stretcher and pushed it into him, driving him into the barricade. Chae ran out and jumped on the shoulders of Vlad, showing her allegiance to Wolf. Vlad did his best to shake Chae and finally did but Wolf had found a kendo stick and he caned him over the head with a stiff shot. After two more shots to the back, the stick was pretty broken up. Vlad rolled over and was bleeding pretty badly as Wolf grabbed an electrical cord and began to choke the life out of Vlad. He then used the cord to pull him up and lay him on the stretcher. Wolf then began to wheel the stretcher up the ramp but Vlad kicked him right in the face. He then got off the stretcher and grabbed Wolf by the back of the head, running him back to the ring and tossing him in. Vlad then got in and picked Wolf up for the "Lights Out" but Wolf got off his shoulders and hit a big DDT drop. Wolf then called out to Chae, asking for something and she reached into her top, pulling out a pair of brass knucks. He got them from her and slipped them on but before he could use them, Vlad punched him straight in the groin and then threw him over the top rope. After following him out, he set him on his shoulders again, walking with him to the stretcher but Chae came from behind with a lowblow. With the knucks still on, Chaos Wolf cracked a still bleeding Vlad. Wolf was sure the match was over but the stunned look on his face when Vlad got up with a crimson mask, seeting in anger, was classic. He took another swing but Vlad turned it into the Lights Out after getting Wolf onto his shoulders. With Chae looking on in shock, Vlad reached under the ring and pulled out an equalizer of his own.... a sledgehammer! He waited patiently for him to get up and when he finally did, Vlad used the base of the hammer to ram into Wolf's face. Wolf fell flat back, arms out and hit the steel ramp. The crowd burst into cheers as Vlad picked up his dead weight and put him onto the stretcher. Wolf's arms were flailing off the side of the stretcher as Vlad got in front of it, pulling it up the ramp and across the line, smiling at Chae the whole way. Match Time: 11:25 Ventura: "I don't believe it". Cole: "Vlad has gotten it done! Chaos Wolf has been knocked completely unconcious and revenge is oh so sweet for Vlad"! "TNT" PLAYED AS VLAD RAISED BOTH ARMS IN VICTORY, LISTENING TO THE EXTREMELY LOUD CROWD. Ventura: "I thought this was Chaos Wolf's night but he has been dealt a serious setback"! Cole: "Even with Chae sticking her nose in and a shot with a pair of brass knucks, Vlad the Impaler has overcome it all here at Eruption"!
BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH SEAN O'HAIRE AND ORLANDO JORDAN GETTING READY FOR THEIR MATCH. JORDAN SEEMS TO BE DOING NOTHING BUT STARING AT O'HAIRE's INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BELT. Orlando Jordan: "Hey man, I have a question". Sean O'Haire: "Shoot". Jordan: "Well, I have been a pretty big help to, at least in my opinion, and I have had your back. So I'm just thinkin', if we win tonight, any chance of me maybe getting a shot at the title? Ya know, we'd still be cool after the match and all". O'Haire: "You'd be a very deserving contender Orlando. (putting his hand on his shoulder) Of course you'll get a shot, all you gotta do is trust me". "WOOOOO" IS HEARD AND RIC FLAIR COMES OUT TO A HUGE OVATION. HE IS WEARING A BLUE AND BLACK ROBE AS HE STRUTS DOWN THE RAMP. THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET, "WOOING" AS WELL. Cole: "The Intercontinental title will be decided momentarily in a tag team match and here comes the Nature Boy! But if I were you Orlando, I wouldn't listen to a word that man says"! Ventura: "Of course you wouldn't, but O'Haire wouldn't give you the time of day"! "DO YOU CALL MY NAME" BY RA HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT WITH THE LOVELY TRACI WHO IS WEARING A SHORT BLACK DRESS. Cole: "Yeah whatever. Fans a question I have been asked all week is how will Axl Irvin react if Flair wins the title in this match, and vice versa. Let me just say that Flair and Axl have so much respect for one another, that won't be an issue". "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYS AND SEAN O'HAIRE COMES OUT WEARING HIS BLACK TRENCH COAT WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. ORLANDO JORDAN IS RIGHT THERE WITH HIM AND ASKS IF HE CAN HOLD THE BELT, WHICH O'HAIRE ALLOWS HIM TO DO. Ventura: "And on the other side, Orlando Jordan knows he's out here to do a job, it's not about mutual respect. But look at how generous Sean O'Haire is, letting OJ hold the gold". Cole: "Yeah, such a nice guy, all you gotta do is trust him right"?! Ventura: "Say what you want to about him Michael, you can't take anything away from O'Haire's god given ability. Just look at how long he's had that belt"! Cole: "There is no question it is one of the most impressive title reigns in the history of the TWF. But all that has to happen for him to lose it tonight is for Ric Flair or Axl Irvin to pin or make submit either he or Orlando". TWF Intercontinental Title Match Ric Flair and Axl Irvin w/ Traci vs. Sean O'Haire and Orlando Jordan Seemingly not trusting of Jordan, O'Haire insisted he start the match, opposite his growing rival Irvin. The two locked up and Axl quickly went into a go behind, putting on a hammerlock. O'Haire dropped to one knee to try and flip him over but Axl just punched him in the head and then shot him to the ropes. When he put his head down too early, O'Haire kicked him very hard in the chest and then hit the ropes, only to run into a big powerslam. O'Haire backed up and Jordan tagged himself in by slapping O'Haire's shoulder, something O'Haire didn't seem to appreciate. Jordan tried to pick Axl up but Axl used a small package to get the 1.......2......., but Jordan escaped. He got up throwing a clothesline but Axl ducked and used an inverted atomic drop before nailing Jordan with a cactus clothesline. He then tagged in Flair who came in to a big ovation, softening up the legs of Jordan. After using his shinbreaker, Flair hit the ropes for his big kneedrop but O'Haire jabbed him in the back of the head. Flair turned and caught O'Haire with a right hand of his own but when he turned around, Jordan jabbed him with a left and went into a boxing stance, flooring Flair with a right hook. A fired up O'Haire slapped the back of Jordan to tag himself back in and he caught Flair with a slingshot clothesline. He made the cover but Flair kicked out at 2. O'Haire pulled him up and whipped him to the corner but Flair caught him with a foot to the face before back elbowing Jordan and then following up on O'Haire with 3 stiff knifedge chops. After twisting the right arm of O'Haire around, Flair made the tag to Axl who came off the top rope with a double axe handle to the arm. He then grabbed O'Haire and pulled him into a DDT to get the 1.......2........., but Jordan came in to break it up, denying his former ally of the title. Axl got up and gave chase to Jordan but turned around into a spinning heel kick from O'Haire which he ducked but O'Haire followed up with an incredible jumping roundhouse. But curiously, Jordan tagged himself back into the match and hurriedly made the cover but Axl kicked out at 2 and a half. Axl then countered an attempt at a DDT, backdropping Jordan before diving to his corner to tag in Flair, who came in stomping at the legs of Jordan. After pulling the right leg of Jordan and diving forward with it, Flair said it was time for the figure four. But before he could get it completely locked in, O'Haire came in to break it up. This brought Axl into the ring, attacking O'Haire. With O'Haire in the corner, Axl climbed to the middle turnbuckle and pounded away with right hand after right hand. But Jordan ran across the ring and pushed him over the turnbuckle! Axl crashed to the floor as Flair knocked O'Haire down with a knifedge before delivering his kneedrop. But when he turned around, Jordan was waiting with his chickenwing jawbreaker that he calls the "Black Ice" and referee Brian Hebner got down to count the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 8:17 JORDAN's MUSIC HIT AND HE CELEBRATED LIKE HE HAD WON THE TITLE BUT ALL HE SAW WAS O'HAIRE WALKING UP THE RAMP, HOLDING IT UP. Ventura: "Look at that... OJ has pinned Flair"! Cole: "And his reward? Oh that's right, O'Haire gets to keep the belt"! Ventura: "He had a job to do Michael, this was just business". AS JORDAN LEFT THE RING, AXL GOT IN TO HELP UP FLAIR, WHO WAS NOTHING BUT APOLOGETIC. Cole: "And look at the Nature Boy, so disappointed that he lost this match". AXL GETS TO HIS FEET AND HE AND FLAIR HUG, A MOMENT THE CROWD REALLY APPRECIATES. Ventura: "Ah look at that, maybe everyone will leave happy". Cole: "I think Axl would've been a lot happier to have the title but it serves as a good lesson folks. Axl is leaving with a friendship still intact. O'Haire might have his title, but look at what he had to do to keep it". BACKSTAGE AREA...... CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW SHANE McMAHON AND TWO VERY LARGE SECURITY GUARDS COME UPON STEPHANIE McMAHON AND THE HORSEMEN. Stephanie McMahon: "What are you gonna do Shane, have us thrown out"? Shane McMahon: "I sure as hell am sis. Guys, get these idiots out of this building"! Money Mike: "What Shane, you scared we're gonna outclass the minor league? We just wanted to show these guys what greatness looks like". Shane McMahon: "Out...... now"! THE TWO GUARDS STEP FORWARD AND WALK THE GROUP OUT. LIVE AND ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW FROM THE SBC CENTER IN SAN ANTONIO! TWF RE-WIND THE TWF RE-WIND SHOWS CHRISTIAN PUTTING EDGE THROUGH A TABLE ON THE MOST RECENT PRIMETIME. "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE HITS AND CHRISTIAN IS WELCOMED TO A SURPRISINGLY FAVORABLE POP. Cole: "If you didn't see that incident, I can honestly say it was probably the happiest I've ever seen Christian! He was on such a high after drilling Edge through that table"! Ventura: "But if he doesn't think Edge will be looking for revenge in a major way, he has another thing coming"! Cole: "Edge and Christian have met one other time on pay-per-view. That was at Welcome to our Yard, several years ago and Christian was the winner on that night"! "METALINGUS" BY ALTERBRIDGE HITS HARD AND EDGE POPS OUT FROM THE BACK TO A RESOUNDING SET OF BOOS. Ventura: "That win came with a lot of controversy though Cole, I'd like to see a clear winner here tonight"! Cole: "Well referee Charles Robinson, one of the best in the business, will handle the officiating and of course we know that the winner will become the new number one contender to the Universal title"! Ventura: "Edge has been waiting for so long for a shot Michael and he feels Christian already cost him once. I don't see him losing this match tonight". Cole: "But you gotta admit partner that up to this point, Christian has had his former partner's number". #1 Contender's Match Christian vs. Edge Robinson asked for the bell and Edge moved in with Christian watching his every move in the feeling out process. Edge tried to go for a double leg but Christian fought him off with shots to the back. Edge picked him and drove him into the corner but Robinson asked for a break and that allowed Christian to kick him in the face. He then went for a tornado DDT but Edge countered, tossing him across the ring. Christian landed on his feet and was able to dodge Edge's quick spear attempt. Christian then turned and caught him with a beautiful dropkick. He made the cover but Edge put his foot on the bottom rope, wisely not expending any energy having to kick out. Christian allowed Edge to get to his feet but with Edge slowed, he moved in with a kick-punch combo and then shot Edge to the ropes but Edge exploded off with a flying clothesline. When Christian got up he grabbed him for the Downward Spiral but Christian blocked it but holding onto the top rope and hitting him with 2 elbows to the back of the head. He hit the ropes but Edge came back with a flapjack. He then climbed on top of Christian, hitting him repeatedly, probably 15 times with some ferocious right hands. Christian was worn out and when he got up, Edge drilled him with the spear. He made the cover and got the 1.........2......., but Christian reached down deep and kicked out! Edge couldn't believe it, pulling out his own hair. He went to the middle turnbuckle and dove off with a shoulderblock but Christian moved. Edge landed on his feet but Christian corraled him in for the "Un-Prettier". Edge was able to fight his way free and grab Christian around the waist from behind, running him to the ring ropes and rolling him up. But Christian rolled through it, into a top position with an unseen handful of tights and Robinson issued the 3 count! Match Time: 6:54 Ventura: "What the hell was that"?! Cole: "Christian is your new number one contender! He's beaten Edge again"! EDGE POUNDED THE MAT SEVERAL TIMES IN ANGER AS "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" PLAYED AND CHRISTIAN LEFT WITH AN EAR TO EAR GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE CROWD WENT WILD. Ventura: "He cheated! He cheated referee"! Cole: "It's water under the bridge now! Christian has just earned himself a shot at the Universal champion"! Ventura: "I just can't believe this Michael, how many times is Edge gonna be screwed out of his shot"?! Cole: "Speaking of the Universal title Jesse, we are ready for what could be the biggest match PrimeTime sees this year"! Ventura: "Well first let me say that I hope Edge goes to Shane McMahon right now and appeals that decision"! PARKING GARAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW THAT THE HORSEMEN HAVE FINALLY GATHERED ALL OF THEIR STUFF AND ARE LEAVING THE ARENA IN THE SAME LIMO THEY ARRIVED IN, WHEN RIC FLAIR COMES UP TO STEPHANIE, THE ONLY ONE NOT IN THE CAR. Stephanie: "What the hell do you want"? Ric Flair: "Where's Money Mike"? Steph: "He had to go get something, why the hell do you care"? Flair: "I just want you to know that your brother just talked to your father and I have been given clearance to appear on the next Rampage. You tell your little boyfriend Money Mike, that the Nature Boy wants to talk to him". FLAIR WALKS AWAY AND STEPH DEFINITELY LOOKS CONCERNED. BACK AT THE BROADCAST TABLE, COLE AND VENTURA ARE SHOWN. Cole: "Wow, did you hear that?! Ric Flair is gonna be on the next Rampage"! Ventura: "And one can only wonder what that'll be about but if I'm Money Mike, Flair definitely has my attention". Cole: "Well fans it is time. The ring has been filled with plenty of tables, ladders and chairs and the Universal title, the very thing these two men are fighting for, is hanging above". THE VIDEO PACKAGE THAT WAS SHOWN ON UPRISING IS SHOWN AGAIN, CAPPED OFF BY A SHOT OF JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHANE THOMPSON, NOSE TO NOSE. BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "WAITING TO DIE" BY HED(pe) COMES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND SHANE THOMPSON COMES OUT, LOOKING AS FOCUSED AS EVER. Cole: "It was just over a month ago inside the Elimination Chamber at MeltDown where this man lost the Universal title to Jordan Rockwell but as we've heard in recent weeks Jesse, he claims Rockwell didn't defeat him". Ventura: "And I tend to agree with him because even though Rockwell won the title by pinning Thompson in the end, there were four other men involved in that match, all gunning for the title". Cole: "And I just think you're both dillusional. THE CROWD POPS LOUDER THAN THEY HAVE ALL NIGHT WHEN "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT, LOOKING INTO THE SEA OF FANS THAT ARE FIRMLY BEHIND HIM. But here comes the Franchise and I can promise you that he feels he defeated Thompson, one, two, three"! Ventura: "All Thompson has wanted is a one on one match and I can remember the first time these two ever squared off, Thompson shocked the world"! Cole: "Well times have changed partner and I hate to tell you this, but Rockwell holds more wins over Thompson if memory serves me right". Ventura: "Don't forget that this is a Last Chance match! The winner here gets the last laugh over the other man"! Cole: "Fans what that means is that the man who loses this match loses the oppurtunity to be the Universal champion, as long as the other man has the belt! Add in the fact that this is a TLC match and we are about to witness history"! Last Chance/TLC Match TWF Universal Title Challenger: Shane Thompson vs. Jordan Rockwell When the bell rang, both men looked around, taking everything in. They then met in the center of the ring, trading punches. Thompson was able to connect with a spin kick to the abdomen before grabbing Rockwell by the back of the head and ramming him into a ladder that was propped up in the corner. But Rockwell shook it off and grabbed Thompson, flinging him into the ladder and then rocking him with right hands. But Thompson was able to duck one and Rockwell's hand connected with the ladder. After a big DDT, Thompson stomped twice on that same right hand. Rockwell screamed in pain as Thompson grabbed one of the steel chairs, smashing him across the back with it. Rockwell got to his knees and Thompson pounded him over the head. Rockwell fell back on the mat and Thompson pulled the ladder into place and looked up at the belt, climbing upwards after it. But Rockwell grabbed the chair and smacked him across the back as he was halfway up the ladder before pushing the ladder. Thompson flew off and actually went outside the ring, crashing through one of the tables! This drew the first of many holy shit chants in the match and Rockwell, still smarting from the chair shots, did his best to position the ladder. But Thompson recovered and came off the top rope, kicking the ladder and knocking it down, Rockwell came down throat first on the top rope. Thompson then went outside and got a table, sliding it into the ring before setting it up. But Rockwell was up and he drove a chair into his midsection before slamming it over his back. He then positioned the ladder and began to climb it but two steps up, Thompson came from behind and pulled him down off the ladder right onto both his knees! Rockwell rolled around in pain, holding his lower back as a demented looking Thompson went outside the ring, pulling out a kendo stick. When Rockwell got up, he gave him 2 shots to the back with the stick before breaking it over his head and busting him wide open. The fans couldn't believe that Thompson seemed to have the match won as he ascended the ladder. He got to the top with his fingertips on the belt but before he could unstrap it, a desperate Rockwell dove at the ladder, pushing it over. Thompson crashed to the mat hard as Rockwell grabbed another ladder, putting it into position. But he was slow to climb it and Thompson pulled the ladder he just fell off of up and put it next to Rockwell's. Both men got to the top of their ladder, reaching for the belt. Thompson jabbed Rockwell and he fired back. With both men teetering, Thompson raked his eyes and grabbed the title but Rockwell punched him in the gut and rammed him face first into the top of his ladder before positioning himself and delivering Thompson's own move, the flipping piledriver off the ladder through the table below! Fans were jumping up and down in the stands in utter disbelief as Rockwell went up the ladder Thompson was on and grabbed the title, unhooking it to sound the bell. Match Time: 14:41 Cole: "Oh..... my..... God! Can you believe what we just saw"?! Ventura: "I just.... I just don't know what to say! It looks like a damn train wreck"! AS "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYED, ROCKWELL RAISED THE TITLE WHILE STILL ON THE LADDER AS CAMERAS SURVEYED THE CARNAGE BELOW. THOMPSON WAS UNDER THE REMNANTS OF THE TABLE. Cole: "Perhaps the most unbelievable moment in TWF history! This one will be talked about for a long time, and Rockwell is still the champion"!
