Sunday, August 21st 2005
MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Theme Music: 'Stricken' - Disturbed
We are inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with a capacity crowd of over 17,000 people filling the arena right to full capacity. On a side stage, next to the main stage area are a tower of Marshall amplifiers. Rachel Stevens, wearing a magnificent white dress, is in the ring and she introduces the opening act. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I direct your attention to the stage area, where, performing the theme song for Summer Break VI, 'Stricken'...Reprise Records recording artist...DISTURBED!". David Draiman, Dan Donegan, Mike Wengren & John Mayer all kick serious ass with a magnificent performance of the song. At the end of the song, some pyros go off behind them, and the curtains that covered the stage went down to set off even more pyros. The band bows to huge applause.
The opening video package and highlight reel summed up the feelings some of the wrestlers have for Summer Break. Ottobomb compares it to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Bandit compares it to the World Series. NJS compares it to the FA Cup Final. Mastermind compares it to the Super Bowl. Highlights from all of the past Summer Breaks are shown to huge cheers from the arena. All of the greatest moments in the history of the event are chronicled in the package. The video then touches on some of tonight's matches. The video ends with wrestlers all taking their walk down the hallway toward the ring, ready for the biggest night of their careers and possibly their lives.
An impressive graphic then cuts in, with 'Stricken' blaring in the background. "And now...the Total Wrestling Federation presents...Summer Break VI..." - the fireworks go off from the stage and it is quite a sight! Yellow, orange and red are featured prominently and the display goes on for a few more seconds before pyros kick in. The main OvalTron then explodes into colour as the display ends and the crowd is jakked for this show! There is no stage this year, just an aisle way. There is a massive main oval TotalTron with two wide rectangular ones beneath them, with one circular one set a little further back, with a roulette wheel turning there. The two rectangular video screens show Sin City-style pictures of the wrestlers amongst many other things. Scott Hudson is at ringside in his tuxedo and tells us that this could be the greatest Summer Break of them all. Joining him is Joey Styles, who begins by saying that this will be his last show with the TWF due to contractual obligations he has to his own federation, but that wouldn't stop him from calling the biggest night in TWF history. Scott wishes him well and they tell us that coming up on tonight's monster card, every TWF Championship is placed on the line, some old scores will be settled, and some new legends will be made as some people are placed into the Hall of Fame!
Smoke fills the stage to huge cheers from the capacity crowd. "And we open up with some Hardkore Championship action!" said Hudson as Blade walked out into the middle of the aisle with a huge smile on his face, looking cocky as ever. He gets halfway down the aisle and stops for a moment, posing, sending some sparks off in the middle of the stage as the line in his theme goes "Scream if you want it...". Blade goes underneath the ring and grabs a trash can and chucks it into the ring.
"Here we go...it's time...CRUSH'EM!" The crowd boos BIG TIME as the drums kick in on 'Crush'em {Jock Mix}'. Jason Davies, a former Hardkore & TV Champion, walks down to the ring with his manager and girlfriend Holly. Joey Styles informs Hudson that this is the first time Jason has wrestled as a singles competitor at Summer Break, as last year, he partnered Karl Davies in the Square Ladder Match.
'Like The Angel' plays to a 50/50 reaction from the crowd as Matthew Jones walks out in his Blood Brothers colours and attire. They firmly get the crowd against him in this match. Matthew has been at Summer Break before, wrestling as a singles competitor in a Six-Man Elimination match at Summer Break 04 for the now defunct TWF Cruiserweight Championship. Jones is a former Hardkore Champion as well, and held the title until very recently when Blade defeated him. But Blade himself was up-ended at Total Chaos by the current champion...
His music begins to play and the crowd begins to cheer in unison as the lyrics to 'Always' begin. Adam Taylor walks out with the Hardkore Championship wrapped firmly around his waist and with a beaming grin on his face. He looks extremely gracious as he steps in the ring, only to be beaten down by all of his opponents.
This was a great opening contest to set the right tone for the night. Every man was for only himself and wanted to walk away from the biggest stage in the TWF with a championship belt wrapped around their waist. Each man used the weapons as best they could, although whenever Holly is around the ring, her clients always seem to be the better prepared thanks to her influence. This was proved true once more as Holly provided almost all of the weapons in this match, giving Jason a definite edge. Taylor wasn't having any of it though and really took it to Jason as Blade and Jones continued their war on the outside of the ring. Taylor gained a massive advantage when he managed to dropkick a chair Davies was holding into him and threw him over the top rope. Taylor vaulted over to huge cheers, taking out both Jason and Holly. Blade and Jones meanwhile were going at it and beating the living hell out of each other, with chair shot after trash can shot, with Jones managing to place a trash can over the stricken Blade and smash him with a steel chair. Both Blade and Jason looked to be down and out. Taylor and Jones looked to finish their respective rivals off but took too long. Blade stumbled over to Davies and took him back into the ring and Davies attempted a 3-Point Football Stance, but missed, flying through the ropes, taking out Taylor & Jones! Blade saw this, grabbed one of the chairs and flew back into the ropes, then leaping onto the chair hitting a flying lariat onto all 3 of his opponents, landing on Davies's shoulders! The referee, Lee Williams, saw the shoulders and counted the fall! 1-2-3!
'Never Gonna Stop' hits and the crowd stood up in great applause for Blade, who has re-captured the Hardkore Championship, and amazingly remains undefeated at Summer Break, going 3-0 here tonight! Replayed footage shows how much height & elevation Blade got as he executed the move. Blade posed with the belt before heading backstage. Holly, stumbling back to her feet, looks very annoyed at Jason and the two argue as always as they walk backstage. Taylor gets back in the ring and looks around. The crowd is giving him a standing ovation with chants of "Thank You Adam" echoing around the arena. Adam walks backstage heartily with a smile on his face and a tear trickling down his face.
Backstage; Michael King tells us that in just a few moments there will...King stops and sees a long white limo pull up in the arena parking lot. Mr. Edwards steps out and is carrying a golden envelope. King asks Edwards about its contents. Edwards says that he has two very special guests inside the limousine who will announce the contents of the envelope, and he'd like to introduce them to everyone right now. Firstly, he is "the" voice of professional wrestling, former TWF Colour Commentator...Bobby "The Brain" Heenan! Brain steps out, looking healthier as he recovers from his throat cancer and shakes King's hand. Edwards then says that his other guest is a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion and has headlined many Starrcade's, but has never seen a Summer Break before, so he gave him a phone call. A long black cloak steps out of the limo and...IT'S STING! "Woooooo! IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS!" King stands in complete disbelief as Sting, Heenan and Edwards walk by. What a major que for the Total Wrestling Federation!
We return from backstage to the ring, where Adara James's theme song begins to play. Scott and Joey are still bouncing from that announcement as Adara walks down to the ring to a varied reaction from the crowd. She steps into the ring as Rachel Stevens begins her introduction. Adara poses on the ropes and conducts some warm-ups as Scott and Joey inform us that this is a One Fall to a Finish, Triple Threat Match.
The lights then fade to cheers from the crowd. The spotlights scatter around the MGM Grand when suddenly 'Rookie of the Year' by Funeral for a Friend plays. The lights then focus on Libra, who is standing on the top of the TotalTron! She grabs a zip line and zip lines down to the bottom of the ramp, setting off pyros behind her. Libra enters the ring and does some stretches and warm ups whilst casting a watchful eye over one of her opponents in Adara James.
Chamera's theme song hits and the crowd rise to boo the Total Wrestling Federation Women's Champion as she walks down to the ring. Scott reminds us that Chamera won the title on her debut at Against All Odds by defeating Libra and last month at Total Chaos defeated Adara James, so she can beat both of her opponents, but the question remains if she can do so tonight, when she faces both women.
This was an excellent match from all three women who proved that they can wrestle hard. Many expected this to be a bathroom break match, but from the outset, this defied the critics and was an awesome encounter. All three of the ladies got periods of domination during the match, with Libra's proving most dominant, taking out both James and Chamera whilst they fought on the outside of the ring with a big body press over the top rope. That took a lot out of the former champ as the three ladies continued to brawl around the ring. James had set Libra up for a DDT and had the match won, but Chamera came in at the last possible second and took out Adara at the knee. Chamera showed James how it's done hitting Libra with a DDT and shoving her out of the ring. Chamera then went for another DDT on James, but Adara shoved out of the move, sending Chamera into the ropes and hitting her with a Body Press on the rebound. James looked ready to hit a DDT, and the crowd stood psyched. She stalked her prey and when Chamera turned around; she set her up, went for the move, but Chamera shoved herself and James into the ropes, came flying back into the middle of the ring and hit a T-Bone Suplex in motion! The crowd stood in shock and awe as Chamera rolled her up and got the pinfall thanks to referee Sophie Matravers.
The crowd booed loudly as Chamera stood in the middle of the ring. Matravers held the title high and handed it over to Chamera. Matravers helped up James, but Chamera clocked her with the title belt to the back of the head! The crowd booed as Chamera continued this heinous beat down. Libra rolled back into the ring, but was powerless to try and stop it as she too was hit with the title belt! The crowd booed until suddenly, through the crowd, sprinted a woman ready for a fight! She leaped over the guard rail and it was Atomically Kool Kat! The former 3-time Women's Champion is here, but what will she do?! Help her old ally Libra or form a new alliance with Chamera? She didn't even think. AKK leaped into the ring in her street clothes, saw Chamera, who went for a title belt shot on her as well, but AKK clocked her with The Feliner! The crowd cheered as AKK helped Libra and James to their feet and hugged both, walking with them backstage, with the Women's Champion Chamera stumbling to her feet.
Backstage; Kaysie Anderson is standing by, looking fantastic in a long blue gown. Kaysie informs us that the next match is the highly anticipated encounter between Team E-V and The Protégé and his mystery partner. As she says this, Protégé appears on screen to huge cheers. Kaysie asks him if he is ready to exact his revenge on Team E-V tonight. Protégé says that he is more than ready tonight to finally tell the Jocks where they can stick their alliance, their manager and in general, their lives. Protégé says that his mystery partner has seen it all before here in the Total Wrestling Federation, and he is not afraid to exact a little revenge himself. Protégé walks off, with Kaysie looking intently at him as he walks down the hall.
We head back to the ring with Scott Hudson and Joey Styles looking on and talking about what they just heard, when 'Crush'em' begins to play. Rachel Stevens announces the next match as a "One Fall Tag-Team Grudge Match" as Blonde Man and Brownie walk out in those matching Jock American Football Jerseys and their usual wrestling gear beneath them. Slowly walking out behind them is Holly who is looking a bit more confident than she did just a few moments ago with Jason Davies at her side. Joey mentions that this is the second year in a row a mystery man has made an appearance as a tag-team partner to someone. Last year, The Shott made his long-awaited return, partnering The Assassin.
The bass line for 'Around the World' by RHCP echoes through out the Grand Garden Arena as Protégé slowly walks out from beneath the TotalTron, oozing with confidence. He stops halfway down the ramp and talks trash with Holly, who is in the ring. Scott Hudson reminds us of the history between Protégé and Holly, as the two were former partners for a time, but broke-off their partnership when Protégé refused to join The Jocks.
There was an extended silence as the theme music faded out. Protégé stood waiting, looking quite anxiously. Hudson and Styles watched the entrance way intently. Suddenly, the lights of the MGM Grand fade to black. The crowd grows in anticipation when suddenly..."WEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL I'M HERE!" WHAT...THE...FOOK?! The MGM Grand IS SHAKING! The lightning bolts hit the roulette wheel beneath the TotalTron and the outside of the TotalTron has been made to look like it has been electrified! The crowd goes insane as 'High Voltage' by Linkin Park plays to a massive cheer. Out steps HIGH VOLTAGE! Hudson and Styles are beside themselves! After all of the history between Protégé and HV...hell, HV and the TWF, High Voltage has returned and it looks to be with a clear aim - to shut the Jocks up!
The crowd couldn't believe their luck as HV began the match, looking in good shape and hitting many of the moves that made him a Full House winner in the TWF and one of the most feared men in professional wrestling for quite some time. Protégé again showed his great potential with some big moves. However, the two men didn't look as well organised as the more experienced Team EV combination. Blonde Man and Brownie really took it to their opponents and whenever they got the chance, hit some brutal looking double-team moves. Holly's presence merely angered the crowd to such a degree that almost an entire section got into an argument with her regarding her body. As Team EV seemed to defend Holly, HV climbed out of the ring and bounced both Team EV members' heads together. HV looked at Holly and seemed intent on acting on the wishes of the crowd, but suddenly locked in a lip lock on Holly! Holly seemed to like it and went back for more, but HV picked Holly up and tossed her like a rag doll into her clients! HV rolled back into the ring, only for Karl Davies to sprint down to the ring, wearing his captain's "C" proudly on his jersey. Protégé took care of him, hitting him with a Spear to huge cheers. Davies rolled out of the ring and as Protégé turned around, Team EV hit him with a Double Karate Kick. Blonde Man, the legal man, covered, but discovered Protégé wasn't the legal man, and when HV entered the ring, he threw Brownie into Karl Davies's path! He then threw Blonde Man out and referee Kevin Poole summoned for Davies to leave, but Holly, hiding underneath the ring apron, clocked Poole with a chair, sending the referee bungling back into the ring! Holly looks extremely pleased, until HV grabbed her by the hair and shoved her to the ground. Protégé and HV looked at each other and laughed, doing a double Big Splash with pelvic thrusts! The crowd cheered and laughed before Team EV came into the ring and clattered both men with steel chairs. Brownie disposed of Protégé with a Martial Arts Kick square to the jaw and rolled Holly out to Karl Davies's aide. Brownie and Blonde Man then go for the Double Karate Kick on HV, but HV ducks out, charges towards the ropes and hit both men with a double clothesline on the rebound. The crowd goes crazy as HV disposes of Brownie with a Full Up chokeslam. Protégé slowly rolls referee Kevin Poole over as Blonde Man attempts to clock HV with a steel chair, but Voltage dodges the steel chair and it flies back into Blonde Man off the ropes. Blonde Man is still in a daze when HV locks in the Watts Up submission to huge cheers. Blonde Man refuses to tap, but passes out from the pain and Poole sees this and orders for the bell to be rung!
'High Voltage' hits as HV stands triumphantly in the middle of the ring with both arms raised in the air. The Jocks re-group in the middle of the aisle way and seem intent on staring HV down. Suddenly, HV drops to his knees in prayer and the lights dim again. Suddenly, bolts of lightning shoot from beneath the ring down the side of the aisle way and toward the TotalTron. HV rolls his eyes back and the Jocks get extremely scared and run for their lives. HV slowly rises back to his feet and sees Protégé standing next to him. There is no love lost between these two men after what happened between them in Protégé's earlier career, but, the two shake hands and raise their fists in victory to the crowd before walking backstage to huge cheers. The men walk to the top of the entrance way, raise their fists once more, with Scott Hudson and Joey Styles remarking that this is truly a Summer Break Sizzler we will remember once more.
Backstage; Bryan Daniels is standing by. Daniels goes into a rant about tonight's card and says that The Rat Pack have been booked in stupid matches and do not deserve the billing they have when they have hall of fame candidates involved. Suddenly, The Fox walks into the picture and knocks Daniels's head, doing a "knock-knock" noise as he does so. "Excuse me...but aren't you an interviewer? For a second I thought you were a puppet". Daniels looks extremely angry as he turns around to see The Fox standing there. The Fox tells Daniels that he is paid to interview people, not rant about The Rat Pack. The Fox says that he should be more concerned with what's about to happen in a second, when he goes out to the ring, kicks Big Martin's ass, and walks out of the MGM Grand Garden Arena with the TWF Intercontinental Championship around his waist. Daniels is about to ask a question, when Fox says "well, would you look at the time. My clock says 2 minutes to midnight. That means that when the clock strikes midnight, Martin's reign is finished. See you out there, punk-ass". The Fox walks out of the picture with Bryan Daniels looking very frustrated over what just happened.
Scott Hudson and Joey Styles are at ringside and remind us that this is Summer Break VI, being brought to you live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Sin City, Las Vegas. They remind us that still to come is the TWF World Championship Fatal Four Way, the announcement of the 3 Hall of Fame Inductees, and many more grudge matches on tonight's card, which is likely to be the end of an era for the TWF, as Joey Styles is calling his last ever PPV for the TWF before he returns to the US full time. Scott says he'd like to thank Joey for some of the good times they have shared at the announce table, and matches will suck without him from after SB. Joey says he'd like to thank the TWF fans, but before he starts to cry, let's get back to some of the action!
Suddenly, the lights focus once more on the stage area next to the ring and we have more music to come. Brock Lindow appears and introduces his band, 36 Crazyfists, who are here to perform Big Martin's theme song, "Bloodwork". The crowd cheers as they begin their rendition of their popular song, with Martin appearing when the second chorus kicks in. He gets muted boos from the crowd as he acknowledges the band playing as he walks down to the ring with the Total Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship belt wrapped around his waist. Crazyfists end the performance to applause and cheers from the crowd as Martin hands the belt to referee Paul Bowen.
The lights go out now and the crowd cheers loudly as suddenly, an image of the Devil appears on the TotalTron. "Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six." With that, there is a silence as the sound of the open sea can be heard. Suddenly, the Devil appears on a ship, but is struck my lightning on the TotalTron. 'The Number of the Beast' starts up and in the middle of the stage stands The Fox, with a huge smile on his face. He does some air guitar poses on his way down to the ring, then mocking Big Martin's attempted head banging on his way down to the ring just moments ago. Fox slides into the ring and Martin immediately begins stomping away on him.
This was an intense match-up between two superstars who really do hate each other. Fox feels that Martin parodies all that he enjoys - loud music, living fast and enjoying himself. Martin really took it to Fox in the early going, hitting him with some incredibly powerful and impressive looking moves, including a sit down backbreaker. Martin rallied up the crowd and looked to go for the K-Mart at such an early stage, but, The Fox countered magnificently into a Tornado DDT. The two continued their brawl, with The Fox gaining the upperhand using his slightly smaller frame on a few occasions, particularly when he used the middle rope to push himself onto Martin to hit a modified jawbreaker. The Fox seemed ready and stalked his prey, looking for the Summri Driver. However, just like at Summer Break V last year, The Fox was unable to hit the move quite when he wanted, as Martin powered out and hit the M-Star. Martin covered, and Bowen counted, but, Fox raised his shoulders, leaped to his feet to Martin's dismay and did some air guitar strutting and walked straight into a huge clothesline that shook the ring! Martin picked Fox back up and threw him into all 4 turnbuckles. Again, he stalked his prey and looked for the K-Mart. He whipped Fox into the ropes, and as Fox came flying back, had him into position, but Fox in an amazing piece of technical skill, countered the move and picked Martin up for the Summri Driver! The crowd went bananas! Fox went for the cover, but Martin powered out at a 2-count and when he got back to his feet, could not be moved. Fox tried to put Martin down, but couldn't. As a last resort, he used the ropes for leverage trying to get some air, but walked straight into the K-Mart! Paul Bowen fell to the canvas and counted the fall as Martin raised Fox's leg.
'Bloodwork' hits as the crowd boos and Martin stands above The Fox with the TWF IC title belt held high above him. Big Martin grabs the belt from Bowen and then throws it down onto The Fox and continues to stomp on him to a mass of boos. Suddenly, a figure runs in from backstage! Martin looks across and it's The Rich! He's back in the TWF! The Rich leaps over the top rope and launches himself at Martin, and goes for Strike It Rich, but Martin throws The Rich down. Rich goes for a clothesline, but Martin ducks it. He grabs his TWF Intercontinental Championship belt and heads for the high ground. The crowd boos as Martin backs down, which is remarked upon by the announce team. Martin holds the belt up high as he poses in the aisle way, looking extremely pleased with himself. Rich picks up The Fox, and the two talk trash at Martin, who seems to just ignore them. He turns and walks backstage, with the duo in the ring planning their next attack as they head for backstage.
Backstage; we are in a mock casino that has been set-up inside one of the dressing rooms here at the MGM Grand. Mr. Edwards is there and is surrounded by some gorgeous women in revealing outfits, with Sting and Bobby Heenan in the room with drinks in their hands talking about the past. Suddenly, Edwards gets up from his seat and opens the dressing room door and Holly walks in with Karl Davies. Holly is still banged up after what happened earlier and Karl Davies looks extremely anxious. Holly rants at Edwards about "keeping his side of the bargain" and Edwards simply laughs. Edwards says that it is time that we Spin the Wheel. He invites Big Sexy Badass and Dope C into the room, who look like they are about to poke each others eyes out with hot forks. They all ponder who the 4th competitor is, but Edwards states he will reveal who it is shortly. Heenan is then invited to Spin the Wheel and he does, and the roulette wheel spins away. All 4 people look on intently as the ball suddenly stops on number on black 4. Edwards then opens up the roulette wheel, and inside is a piece of paper rolled up into a scroll. He opens it up and hands it to Heenan, who opens it up and then shows it to the competitors who all look fairly happy except Davies, who is extremely annoyed. Edwards tells the crowd that the "Vegas Bar Brawl" was selected by the roulette wheel and that the three competitors will be given directions to a bar, where the referee for the bout and the final competitor will be awaiting their arrival. Edwards informs them that he is no strangers to BSB and Dope C, and is a very good drinker! Davies moans and groans about having to go to bar because he is such an elite athlete, but Edwards then gives Davies a can of beer and tells him to drink it, so he can fit in at the bar. Davies is still moaning as he leaves the room along with the other competitors.
We cut to a special video package of a Summer Break Sizzler...
Summer Break Sizzler -- The Shott returns{{Assassin slowly walks down to the ring and then grabs the microphone as Saliva finishes their performance, from JLH. Assassin says that contrary to what AJ and Hawke said about not being to able to find a partner...he managed to find one...and he's a good one...and they are both on the same...page!
There is a silence until the TWF Arena blacks out. Suddenly, a rumble of thunder is heard and smoke engulfs the stage...'COWBOYS FROM HELL' HITS! IT CAN'T BE? The lights begin to rise and a man is standing alone in the middle of the stage with his back to the crowd. Hawke and AJ look to be in shock as the man turns around...THE SHOTT! THE SHOTT! HE'S BACK! THE CROWD GOES INSANE! The Shott slowly walks down to the ring and high-fives the fans in the aisle. He tags up Assassin and they race into the ring. The Shott looks in the best shape of his career and he is back to kick some ass!}}We return from the video package to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the gambling capital of the world for the 6th Summer Break, which is being shown live around the world on pay-per-view!
The cameras focus on Rachel Stevens, who is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone. Rachel announces that the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Total Wrestling Federation Television Championship!
"And now, introducing the challenger..." The crowd rises to boo as the famous opening riff of 'Cowboys from Hell' by Pantera echoes through out the arena. Smoke pours out from all over the stage area and through it all appears the challenger, The Shott. Scott and Joey mention that The Shott has only won once at Summer Break, and that was at Summer Break last year when he partnered up with The Assassin. A Hall of Fame inductee in 2004, The Shott has not won very much besides, but hopes to change that tonight.
The lights dim to complete darkness in the MGM Grand. Suddenly, flames appear in the aisle way! The aisle is on fire! 'Down in the Catabombs' hits, and the crowd stands to cheer as Owen Carl leads out his favoured and only client, the monstrous Hades. However, Hades and Carl appear to be walking across the fire to the ring! The crowd cheers and stands in amazement at the spectacle as Hades appears to be walking on fire! The Shott is beside himself in the ring! Hades leaps onto the ring and sets off pyros over the ring before he enters and poses with his manager. Carl and Hades converse as Shott argues with referee Bob Sage over Hades's entrance. Joey mentions that this is Hades's first Summer Break appearance and has made the biggest impact of any rookie in TWF history, having made his first appearance just under one year ago at TWF Eve of Destruction.
The Shott started this match off aggressively and tried to ground the more experienced Hades with some powerful and technical moves that wowed the audience. "This is old school Shott" said Hudson as Shott continued to pound on the much larger beast. Shott continued to dominate until Owen Carl called upon his great knowledge of distractions. Carl grabbed the TWF Television Championship belt from Rachel Stevens, who was holding it at ringside. Carl grabbed it and distracted Chief Referee Bob Sage with a point about The Shott's unorthodox offence. Hades grabbed the belt, but instead of using it, The Shott grabbed it and hit huge DDT onto Hades's own championship belt! The crowd booed as Shott covered, but Hades kicked out with authority. The crowd cheered as Carl pumped the crowd up. He smelt a chance for Hades to get some major offence, and that he did, with Hades's sheer power and size reducing The Shott to a near crippled mess. It all seemed to climax when Hades had thrown The Shott into the turnbuckle and hit the Underworld Splash. The crowd rose in anticipation and Owen Carl began to smile from ear-to-ear. The chants of "Finish Him Off" thundered through out the arena. As Carl was about to say those words of impending doom, an unfamiliar figure walked out and into the aisle, which made Carl's jaw drop...IT'S AMY WILKINS! OH.MY.GOD! The crowd goes bananas! Wilkins was Team EV's manager during the infamous Team EV vs. Revolution war in the latter months of 2000! And she has returned to the Total Wrestling Federation! Carl cannot believe it! Carl instructs Hades to attack Wilkins, but Hades appears to not be able to, with The Shott hitting the ShottGun on the monster! Carl begins to cry as Wilkins's presence seems to have aided The Shott. The Shott covers Hades...1...2...KICK-OUT! The crowd cheers loudly as Wilkins goes insane at ringside. She enters the ring and argues with The Shott, who it appears she has sided with, but Owen Carl enters the ring and does the Grimace! The crowd half cheers and half "Ugh"s as Carl chases Wilkins around the ring until she bumps into Hades, and Carl applies the Mercy Hold! He rolls Wilkins out of the ring but is given a Big Boot by The Shott. Hades then goes for the Underworld Driver, but The Shott counters and appears to go for a Stun Gun, whipping Hades into the ropes, but Carl holds The Shott back! Carl then shouts at the top of his voice "FINISH HIM OFF!". Shott laughs as Hades is nowhere to be found, but Shott then turns around and walks right into the Hades Driver! The crowd goes crazy as Hades goes for a pinfall attempt...Bob Sage drops to the canvas and counts...1...2...3!
'Down in the Catabombs' hits and Rachel Stevens announces the victor. Hades stands in the middle of the ring looking rather confused, but all confusion is lost when Carl enters the ring and hands Hades the TWF TV Championship belt. Shott carries Wilkins on his shoulder out of the ringside area, looking concerned for his would-be ally's safety. Hades and Carl's arms are raised by referee Bob Sage as winners and they pose with the championship belt before leaving ringside, in quite literally a blaze of glory, as flames appear above the ring and around the TotalTron.
Backstage; we see Mr. Edwards, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Sting making their way toward the ring with golden envelopes. That must mean that the TWF Hall of Fame 2005 inductees will be announced next!
---- The TWF Web Commercial ----We return from the commercial break to Scott Hudson and Joey Styles plugging the TWF Web and reminding us that no matter what happens after tonight, the TWF Web will still be around.
Suddenly, the steel drums of 'P.I.M.P' by 50-Cent begin to play and the crowd stands to cheer as Mr. Edwards walks out with Bobby Heenan and Sting. Confetti rains down from above the TotalTron as the three men enter the ring, where red carpet has been rolled out for their arrival. Edwards grabs a microphone from Rachel Stevens when she finishes her introduction. Sting starts to rally the crowd with chants of "Wooo!" whilst Heenan appears to be saying something to his old announce colleagues Styles and Hudson.
Edwards gets on the stick and reminds us that TWF Against All Odds 2005 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he announced details of the TWF Hall of Fame 2005 Induction along with his grandfather and former TWF MD, Douglas Edwards and the current TWF MD & CEO, Mr. BIG. The crowd cheers at the mention of Mr. BIG's name and almost blows the roof off with a massive chant of "B-I-G"! Edwards says that he has two certified hall of famers here tonight to announce with him the inductees. First of all, he is no stranger to the TWF, having called many events here, including last year's Summer Break, please would you stand to applaud, The Manager of Champions...Bobby "The Brain" Heenan! The crowd does indeed stand and applaud with a chant of "Weasel", which is used in a non-derogatory way. The second man with him tonight is a former NWA/WCW World Heavyweight Champion and is listed as a hero for many wrestlers in the TWF today...he needs no crappy introductions...so would you please welcome...Sting! The crowd rips the roof off the MGM Grand for Sting who "Woo"s his way around the ring. Edwards says that inside the golden envelopes are the three successful inductees who were chosen by the fans through an online vote conducted at the TWF Web. He also has one surprise inductee that has not been announced yet that he will reveal at the end of proceedings. Edwards hands it over to Bobby Heenan who takes the stick and says it is a great honour to stand in front of these people once more and to be a part of one of the greatest wrestling promotions ever. The crowd cheers loudly and begins another "Weasel" chant before Heenan opens up the envelope. Heenan looks over at Edwards, shows him the name, to which Mr. Edwards applauds. Heenan says "I hope I say this right...your first new inductee is Mr...JT MONEY!". This American crowd goes absolutely insane for the first inductee, from Chicago, Illinois. Edwards is next and opens his envelope and looks a bit bemused. He says "And your second inductee, and I wasn't expecting this one...DEADMAN!". The crowd goes wild again and applauds for the Dead One, whose great TWF career will be capped with his arrival to the Hall. Edwards hands over to Sting, who starts "Woo"-ing immediately and gets the crowd going. "Wooo! Your final inductee is the one, the only, "ICE MAN" AJ JEFFERS WOOOOO!". The crowd goes absolutely bonkers as Jeffers is announced. Edwards says that these three men thoroughly deserve their Hall of Fame places and their banners will be raised into the rafters of the TWF Arena upon the TWF's return home. However, Edwards is here to announce that there will be one final inductee into the Hall of Fame this year. This was determined by a unanimous vote by all of the TWF Board members. So, the final inductee this year is the first into the new builders' category of the Hall of Fame...former Managing Director, Douglas Edwards! The crowd all stand to applaud the former MD, who is then spotted, drinking some Kaliber in a hospitality box in the MGM Grand. He tips his Kaliber to the crowd, applauding them, and then gets back to conversation. Edwards was about to say something, when the lights cut out!
Smoke starts pumping from the entrance way..."THIS EARTH IS NOT YOUR PLACE!" 'My World' begins to play and out steps TNA's JEFF JARRETT! The crowd boos the hell out of Jarrett as he walks down to the ring in his usual wrestling gear, carrying his old equaliser, El Kabong. Jarrett enters the ring and eyes up all 3 men in the ring. Jarrett grabs a microphone and immediately says "Shut up slapnuts!". Members of the crowd cheer that remark, but the boos return as Jarrett comments that this is the last time he's in the ring with 3 cripples like right now. Jarrett says he has a bone to pick with the TWF. At xWa XTreMe Overdose II, he came out here and announced the world the very first xWa vs. NWA show, at Soundstage 21 in Orlando, FL on November 24th 2004. What became of that? Nothing, because the xWa was too scared of the NWA, and more specifically, TNA. Since then, Total Non-stop Action has managed to beat the TWF at its own game, giving the world innovative matches such as King of the Mountain, Ultimate X and Full Metal Mayhem...giving the world the X Division...and introducing the world to new superstars such as AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. What has the TWF done in that time? Struggled to even produce shows, fill holes in their roster, do just about anything. Jarrett says that he is here tonight to pass sentence on the TWF, declaring it dead. He has crashed this segment because that's all the TWF will be remembered for in the future, it's hall of fame, stupid 100,000 seat domes that cost tons of money, and wasting the fans time. Edwards gets on the microphone and tells Jarrett that the slapnuts have something he can choke on. When Jeff Jarrett left WCW in 2001, he wrestled in a promotion called 1WF that had very close ties to the TWF, and Jarrett was supposed to wrestle at Summer Break 2001, but he refused, saying the TWF "wasn't big enough". Well, here we are, 4 years later, at the scene of the crime, and the TWF is still standing. It's been to hell, almost gone bankrupt twice and beaten NCW to stand where it is today, which is on top of the wrestling pyramid. TNA is good, don't get him wrong, but it's no TWF. Where else would you see the House of Pain? Tables, Ladders, Cell? The Hardkore Championship? Revenge Matches? It isn't in TNA. The planned xWa-NWA show never became possible because TNA had pulled out of the NWA at that point and the purpose of the matches was to put the NWA's best against the xWa's finest, but that never happened. If Jarrett has a problem with that, then he can tell it now. Jarrett says he has more than a problem with it, and he's brought his problem solver with him to do just that! And with those harsh words, Jarrett swings his guitar and cracks Mr. Edwards over the head with it! Jarrett stomps on the TWF's owner as Heenan and Sting exit the ring! Heenan stands at the announce table, whilst Sting appears to be looking for something. Sting looks under the ring and smiles. He pulls out his black baseball bat! Sting grabs a microphone from Heenan and gets Jarrett's attention by saying "Hey Jarrett, riddle me this, riddle me that, you're more afraid of my big...black...BAT!". Jarrett falls to his knees and prays for mercy from Sting, who has yet to enter the ring, when, from the crowd, in comes MR. SMOOTH! Smooth has a guitar of his own and smashes it over the head of Jarrett! The crowd goes insane as the usually mild-mannered interviewer loses his cool and drags Jarrett into the middle of the ring and shouts "Feelin' Froggy!" and delivers a huge Frog Splash. Sensing blood, Edwards gets back up and scoops up Jarrett! The crowd cheers...TOMBSTONE! Jarrett has been knocked out cold! Edwards grabs the microphone and says "Jarrett, take this back to Orlando, Nashville...wherever TNA is. We were never afraid of you, and the offer is still there if you want it. But let this be a reminder to you just who you are dealing with, because we're HARD-KORE!". 'P.I.M.P' hits to a MASS of cheers from the crowd as Edwards, Smoothy, Heenan & Sting all pose above Jarrett in the middle of the ring, before walking towards backstage.
