[The IWA logo appears on a black screen with some copyright information. IWA Impact then hits the airwaves. "Never Gonna Stop" by Rob Zombie begins to play. The Impact promo rolls. Video clips of all the IWA superstars is shown. We're then shown Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, NJ. We cut inside where the fans are going wild for the first IWA PPV. We're taken down to ringside after an impressive display of pyro.]

Ross: Hello everyone and welcome to Atlantic City, New Jersey! This is IWA Impact!

Heenan: That's right! All your favorites are here just to entertain you all! We've got a great show lined up for you. Let's get to our first match!

Bazooka vs. The Ant
Hardcore Title Street Fight

Ross: Well folks we’re here at IWA’s Impact, and we’re ready to get hardcore!

Lawler: That doesn’t sound right…

Heenan: Sure doesn’t…

Ross: No, I’m talking about our Hardcore title match!

[The announcer at ringside begins announcing as “In the End” by Linkin Park hits the speakers and Bazooka, along with Anita, walks out to the ramp]

Announcer: And now, your current Hardcore Champion, weighing in at 310 lbs., from New York City, New York, here’s Bazooka!

[The crowd cheers, a few boos as Bazooka and Anita make their way down the ramp and to ringside.]

Ross: Well, Bazooka sure looks confident!

Lawler: Well, with a woman like that by your side, it’s hard not to be!

Heenan: Got that right.

[Bazooka makes his way into the ring, and Anita makes her way to ringside as the music fades out, and the announcer begins speaking again]

Announcer: And his opponent, from Washington D.C., weighing in at 211 lbs., here’s Anthony “The Ant” Brown!

[“Who We Be” by DMX hits the speakers as Ant makes his way to ringside. Ant then stops at ringside, then looks up at Bazooka, who is ready to go. Ant then goes under the ring, looking for something to use as a weapon. Ant finds a trashcan, and throws it into the ring. Ant also finds a few chairs and tables as he throws them into the ring, then hops in. Bazooka grabs the trash can and prepares for the Ant. Ant hops in and grabs a chair and goes right for Bazooka]

Ross: Wow, these two are sure going to give us quite a match!

Lawler: That’s right, they’ve already got their weapons ready to go!

Heenan: Weapons rule!

[Ant, who is almost hit by Bazooka with the trash can, jumps to the ground and hits Bazooka in the leg with the chair. Bazooka drops to one knee and drops the trashcan as Ant hits him in the head with the chair. Bazooka drops to the mat as Ant tries to hit him once again with the chair, but Bazooka rolls out of the way and grabs a chair of his own. Bazooka throws the chair at Ant, giving him enough time to get to his feet. Bazooka then runs at Ant and slams him into the mat. Bazooka then grabs Ant and the two men begin exchanging right hands]

Heenan: Wow, I wouldn’t want to get in a fistfight with Bazooka…

Ross: Yeah, if Ant wants to win this match, he’ll have to use his speed!

[Bazooka then begins getting the best of Ant, and begins slamming him with even harder right hands to the face, neck and chest. Ant drops to the ground in pain as Bazooka grabs a chair, and begins trying to hit Ant with it. But, Ant’s speed saves him as Ant rolls around in the ring, and finally hops to his feet. Ant runs over to the other side of the ring and grabs a chair for himself, and holds it up. Both men begin looking at each other, testing each other out. Ant then takes a few swings at Bazooka, and Bazooka takes a few swings at Ant. Suddenly, both men lunge at each other and begin having a type of swordfight with the chairs. Huge clanging noises of metal on metal can be heard, and finally, Ant hits Bazooka with the chair in the arm, causing the one arm to let go of the chair. Ant then hits Bazooka in the other arm with the chair, causing Bazooka to drop the chair completely. Ant then slams the chair directly into Bazooka’s head, but Bazooka doesn’t go down.]

Ross: He didn’t go down!

Heenan: Wow, chair shot to the head and still standing…

Lawler: Wow, what a shot!

[Ant, puzzled as to why Bazooka didn’t go down, hits him again, with the same result. Bazooka begins wobbling as Ant swings the chair from the side this time, hitting Bazooka in the side of the face. Bazooka finally goes down to the mat as Ant smiles, and continues hitting him with the chair as the crowd begins cheering at the violence. Ant continues hitting Bazooka, wanting to finish the match right here and now, but suddenly, “Facing Hell” by Ozzy Osbourne hits the speakers as Emmitt, holding a metal baseball bat, runs out from the back with a referee of his own. Ant turns his attention from Bazooka to Emmitt as Emmitt runs down to the ring and hops in]

Ross: Here comes Emmitt!

Lawler: He must be here to take advantage of the 24/7 rule!

Heenan: Well duh!

Ross: He said all week he was going to give it a shot at the Hardcore title, and here he is! With a baseball bat to boot!

[Emmitt, who is now in the ring, swings the bat at Ant, but Ant blocks it with the chair. Ant tries to hit Emmitt with the chair, but Emmitt blocks it. Emmitt then swings at Ant’s feet, but Ant jumps out of the way. Emmitt then fakes like he’s going to swing at Ant’s head, and swings at his ankle as Emmitt connects. Ant then grabs his ankle, and Emmitt hits Ant again in the ribs. Ant drops the chair and drops to the mat, holding his ribs as Bazooka gets up behind Emmitt and begins choking him. Emmitt drops the bat and tries to get Bazooka off of him, but he can’t. Bazooka then throws Emmitt down to the mat and grabs the bat for himself. Bazooka then slams Emmitt in the back and legs with the bat, then walks over to Ant and does the same. Bazooka then turns Ant over and goes for the pin…1…2…3…!]

Ross: Well this match is over!

Lawler: Bazooka is still the Hardcore champ!

Heenan: I knew it!

Announcer: Your winner, and STILL Hardcore champion, Bazooka!

[The crowd cheers as “In the End” by Linkin Park hits the speakers once again. The referee gives Bazooka his Hardcore belt as Bazooka gets out of the ring and Anita congratulates him. The crowd continues cheering as Emmitt and Ant struggle to their feet, and begin fighting each other. They don’t even know the match is over. The referee then walks over to them and tells them that Bazooka has won as both men, exhausted, drop to the mat again.]

Ross: Wow, what a match that was!

Heenan: Bazooka proved he’s still the man to beat in the Hardcore division…

Lawler: Got that right.

Winner: Bazooka

Primetime as well. Terra is then shown. Even Venom flashes across the screen just before everything goes black for a few moments.

Vinny "The Chin" Esposito vs. D.L. Money

Ross: Well folks, it’s time for our first of two cage matches tonight. Vinny “the Chin” Esposito will put his Television title on the line against newcomer D.L. Money.

Heenan: Quit’cher yappin’ Ross. Let’s throw it over to the Fink.

Fink: Introducing first, weighing in at 255 pounds, hailing from Brooklyn, New York, he’s the IWA Television Champion… Vinny “the Chin” Esposito!

[“The Italian Mix” hits in the arena. The fans boo heavily as Vinny steps out onto the stage with Owen by his side. Vinny tosses the TV title over his shoulder and smiles big. He walks down to the ring and enters the cage while Owen takes the title and stays on the outside.]

Fink: And his opponent, weighing in at 242 pounds, fighting out of Chicago, Illinois… D.L. Money!

[“Roll Out” hits in the arena but D.L. Money is nowhere to be found. A shot pops up on the ‘Tron of the backstage area. A cameraman runs down a hall. He comes across the Trio, Vinny’s thugs, beating the living hell out of D.L. Money.]

Ross: Oh I should’ve known!

Heenan: Ha ha! What geniuses!

[DL is thrown into a brick wall then powerbombed through a nearby table. Each member of the Trio stomps him for a while before beating him with a steel chair. The Trio leaves DL a bloody mess on the pieces of broken table.]

Fink: If D.L. Money fails to reach the ring before the ten count, he will lose the match via disqualification!

[The ref begins a slow ten count in the ring. Vinny looks on with a smile on his face. Eventually, the ref reaches the ten count and has no choice but to give Vinny the win.]

Thunder (c) vs. Owen Hart
Nation-Wide Title Cage Match

Ross – It’s time fort he Nation-Wide title match. This one is sure to please. Thunder and Owen always give it their best.

Heenan - You can count on that from these two. In the end though, I’d have to say Owen will come out victorious.

Ross – You would. Thunder definitely has the upper hand in this one. Let’s throw it over to the Fink.

Fink – Introducing first, weighing in at 260 pounds, fighting out of Boston, Massachusetts… Thunder!

[“Welcome to the Jungle” hits in the arena. Thunder steps out onto the stage with the Nation-Wide title draped over his shoulder. He receives a nice ovation from the fans. Gwen scurries out after him and walks him down to ringside.]

Fink – And his opponent, weighing in at 245 pounds, fighting out of Calgary, AL, Canada… Owen Hart!

[“Enough is Enough” hits in the arena. The fans boo as Owen steps out onto the stage with Vinny by his side. Owen walks down to the ring a little unsure. He slowly climbs in the cage door, never taking his eyes off of Thunder.]

Ross - And there's the bell!

[Thunder climbs down off his perch and starts mouthing off to Owen, who looks at the cage door. Gwen, smiling sweetly, saunters up to the cage door, and takes a chain and lock from her sleeve. She locks the door as Owen rushes to the door. He yells at Gwen in sheer horror, then at Vinny for not stopping it. Vinny just gives Owen a look like "S'e's a gurl, and yous shud jus' figt tundah..." Owen begins to throw a tantrum, and Heenen and Lawler are on his side!]

Heenen - THATS NOT FAIR! Who made that ruling?!

King - Gwen went too far with that one!!

Ross - Will you two shut up? Owen was the world champ for six months! Shouldn't he be able to handle himself?

Heenen - He doesn't even have his running shows on...poor guy.

[Owen takes a deep breath and slowly backs into the middle of the ring. He turns around and gets leveled by a Thunder clothesline. Owen bounces back up and gets knocked right back down. But again, he gets up. Owen and Thunder begin to trade punches in the middle of the ring. Owen gets the upper hand with a kick to the gut, but when he "Whoo's" to the crowd, he gets caught with a kick from Thunder. Thunder laughs at Owen. Owen twists his face in anger and clotheslines Thunder. Thunder bounces back up and hits one of his own. They trade knife edge chops to the crowds delight. Thunder breaks the string as he tries for a clothesline. He misses and then ducks an attempt from Owen. Both men stagger from the force of their misses. They turn and both dropkick at the same time, effectively knocking their boots together, resulting in no damage. They spring to their feet after only a moments rest on the ground, and square off. They both nod in appreciation as the crowd sends up a loud cheer for that amazing display.]

Ross - WOW!! That was unbelievable!! It was breathtaking even!

Lawler - Too bad it didn't leave you speechless!!

Heenen - A very nice show from those two!

[The accolades are short lived for Thunder, as Owen takes this distraction and uses it to his advantage. He spears Thunder, and drives him into the cage. The cage compresses with the might of the spear, and Owen opens up with right hands to Thunder's face. Owen backs off and ducks a Thunder wild punch. Owen swivels Thunder around and gives him a back suplex. Thunder rolls out of it and catches Owen in a waist lock. He delivers a German Suplex to Owen. Owen rolls up and tries for a front kick. Thunder catches Owen's boot. He blocked the right foot, but forgot about that pesky left. Owen snaps off a beautiful enzeguri and catches Thunder in the back of the head. Owen grabs Thunder and drops him in a back breaker. Thunder goes to the mat in pain. Owen picks him up again and delivers another back breaker, only this time, keeps Thunder bent over his knee, and applys pressure to Thunder's back.]

Lawler - Look at that exceptional technical work by Owen! He knows right where to strike!!

Heenen - He's a Technical GIANT!!

Ross - He's still a nerd who was afraid of the man in the ring with him!!

Lawler - I'm not seeing any fear...

[Owen drops Thunder to the mat and in a mental replase saunters towards the door. He realizes his mistake as he sees the padlock. Kicking the door and the ropes, Owen screams at Gwen. This allows Thunder to get up and drive Owen's face into the mesh!! Thunder grates Owen's face against the mesh cage, and Owen screams in pain. Thunder's pressing Owen's face into the cage. Owen's face is contorted in a mixture of pain, agony and a squashed face! Owen is able to back elbow Thunder in the gut. Thunder recovers from the blow and slaps a hammerlock on Owen. Owen quickly reverses it, and shoves Thunder's face into the mesh!! Owen grates Thunder's face on the mesh much the same way Thunder just did. Owen bounces Thunder's head off the cage and climbs to the top rope.]

Ross - Here we go!!

Heenen - Owen's gonna fly!!!

[Thunder staggers around, and Owen just waits on him. When Owen feels the time is right, he launches himself into a missle dropkick. Thunder sees the kick coming and brushes it off. Thunder picks Owen up and whips him across the ring. Owen reverses mid-ring and Thunder goes flying into the steel cage! Thunder tumbles away from the ropes and Owen grabs him! Owen nails a sick German suplex which sends Thunder half-way across the ring, into the ropes!]

Ross - German Suplex! NO BRIDGE..ALL Impact!! MAN what a move!

Lawler - Impressive, of course!

[Thunder grabs on to the ropes as Owen tries to drag him into the middle of the ring. Thunder won't let go! Owen shrugs and wraps Thunder up in a Tiger bomb fashion. Owen rips at Thunder, who lets go and gets nailed with the vicious move! Thunder rolls away from Owen and gets on all fours. Owen walks over, grabs the cage above Thunder and steps on Thunder, trying to get to the second rope. Thunder gets to his knees, effectively dumping Owen on the back of his neck!! Thunder drags Owen into the middle of the ring and slaps on a reverse STF!! He sets himself for the bridge, and bridges over! Thunder grabs Owen's arms, and wrenches back, adding more punishment to the STF! Owen is screaming in pain, and Thunder just wrenches down even harder. ]

Lawler - AW COME ON! Thats not fair! No one can break the submission!!

Ross - Yeah, but Thunder can't win by a sumbission either!!

[Thunder finally breaks the bridge, as his back gives out. Thunder releases Owen from the STF, and kicks Owen to ground. Owen gets to his feet, in spite of those kicks and knocks Thunder into the corner. Thunder rushes out, but Owen hip tosses him to the mat. Thunder gets up again and tries another clothesline. Owen picks him up and drops him in a shoulderbreaker! But instead of letting him drop, Owen picks him up again, and rams him into the turnbuckles, locking Thunder in the tree of woe!]

Heenen - Look at that! That's from all his squats!!

Lawler - What great shape Owen must be in, to be able to do that!

Ross - Oh please...

[Owen laughs at Thunder's predicament. He drops a leg drop on Thunder's already angled neck. He gets up and hops on the second rope, and hits a leg drop from there! Owen climbs the ropes, over Thunder, stepping on his face, then the bottom rope, the second rope, and then on Thunder's knee, twisting it very, very awkwardly! Thunder growls in pain. Owen puts even more pressure on the knee, and Thunder can't take it anymore. He frees his other leg and snaps his knee straight, nailing Owen right where the sun don't shine. Owen squeaks and doubles over. He falls from the turnbuckles into the middle of the ring. Thunder takes a few moments to recover, then pulls himself up to the top rope. Owen takes that same time to recover and gingerly moves to the ropes. He grabs Thunder and drops backwards in a back suplex! Owen drags himself to the corner and up to the top of the cage! He grabs at his arm, and yanks off his elbow pad!! He throws it to Vinny, and points at Gwen, who has a worried look on her face.]

Heenen - HERE IT COMES!!!! HERE IT COMES!!!

Ross - What the...

Lawler - Its Owen's Elbow Drop! THE Owen ELBOW DROP! Here it comes!!

[Owen tips his hand to the crowd and then delivers the amazing elbow drop from the top of the cage!!! Owen lands on Thunder with such force the two of them bounce of the mat!! Owen struggles to his feet, but Thunder stays motionless. Owen grabs the ropes and pulls himself up. He grabs the cage and begins his ascent. He gets to the top rope before Thunder even mores. Thunder begins to stir and crawls over towards the ropes. He pulls himself up to the second rope, just as Owen's foot leaves the top rope. Thunder lunges with all his might and grabs onto Owen's leg. He forces Owen back to the top rope. Thunder gets up to the second rope and the two men exchange rights and lefts. Thunder tries to suplex Owen off the ropes, but Owen reverses and hits a cross body block to the mat!!]

Heenen - Man, this Owen can do it all!!

Ross - Will you shut up?! Just call the match fair!

[Both men up to their feet, and Owen guts Thunder with a kick. Owen goes off the ropes, and attempts a leap frog, but Thunder back body drops him, all the way over into the steel cage!! Owen slides down between the ropes and the cage. He rolls under the ropes and begins dragging himself to his feet. Thunder moves to grab Owen, but gets tossed into the cage himself!]

Ross - Man, that side of the cage is getting all the abuse tonight!!

Heenen - It sure is...

[Owen drags Thunder into the middle of the ring and drops a leg across his throat. Owen spins around and up to his feet. He jumps and nails a leg drop on Thunder. Still not done, he spins up, goes off the ropes and nails a sliding drop kick. Owen goes to the top rope, and takes off the other elbow pad. He's standing on the top rope and he leaps down onto a prone Thunder! Owen connects with an elbow right to the heart!]

Ross - RIGHT TO THE HEART! My, what an amazing shot!!

Heenen - Of course it was! It was done by the Nug--I mean, Owen!!

[The two men in the ring have given almost every damn thing in their bodies. They are dead tired, and almost motionless. Slowly, they come around. Owen looks at Vinny with a look of desperation. He asks Vinny to get him a chair. Vinny does and waits for further instructions. Thunder and Owen drag themselves to their feet. Owen grabs Thunder and whips him. Thunder reverses it and sends Owen into the cage! As Owen strikes the cage, Vinny turns and whacks the cage and Owen square in the chest!!! Vinny looks shocked for a minute...Thunder throws Owen into the cage again, and Vinny whacks the cage and Owen AGAIN!! Owen splatters onto the canvas!!]

Heenen - WHAT THE HELL!!!

Lawler - What is he DOING?!

Ross - OH MY GAWD!!! Has Vinny turned his back on his mentor, his friend and his reason for being in this business?!

Lawler - Damn right he has, that cheap Italian bastard!!

[Vinny laughs bitterly and races around to the cage door. Gwen is already there, pulling the key to the padlock out of her top. She unlocks the door, and they enter with the chair and the chain. Vinny drops the chair and lays the boots to Owen!! Vinny, Thunder and Gwen all begin to lay 'em in on Owen!! The three pause for a triangle high five. They look at Owen, and Vinny spits in Owen's face!! They struggle with Owen, who is completely wasted, and string him to the cage with the chain. Owen is strung up crucifix style!!! Thunder grabs the chair, and with his right hand, makes a cross-gesture. He backs up, raises the chair and screams at the top of his lungs!!! He rushes forward and brings the chair with of his might, hatred, agony, pain, suffering and anything else he can muster!! The chair damn near bends in half!!!]

Ross - HOLY CRAP!!! If that shot wasn't heard round the world...then this arena is pretty damn soundproof!!!

[The chair wraps around Owen's head, and Thunder smashes into the cage as well! Vinny starts kicking the crap out of Owen's gut, forcing Owen even further back into the mesh. The mesh is sagging with all that weight!! Vinny grabs the chair and rams it into Owen's gut, and with that, the cage's seem at the top pops loose! The entire side of the cage sways and then it entirely lets go!! The side of the cage falls and smashes into the guardrail, sending the fans scurrying away! Owen lays motionless on the cage, but the angle of the cage causes him to roll to the floor!! Owen's feet touch the floor!!! OWEN WINS!!]

Ross - After all that...OWEN WINS?!? What the HELL!?!?!

Winner: Owen Hart (New Champ)

The Truth Comes Out

[Thunder stares from the ring in utter disbelief. Vinny kicks the bottom rope and goes to the outside to get a mic. Owen gets the NationWide Title from the referee and at that point Thunder snaps. He jumps off the apron, and begins to pound Owen in the head unmercifully. Vinny walks over to where Thunder is and taps the mic. The mic turns on and Vinny address Owen.]

Vinny - 'Ey...'ey boss...it seems as dough yous won da matc'...bu' mah questin 's...didja win da war?! 'e-ah's yah answah....HELL NO!!! Tundah, DDT da' sumbitch!!

[Thunder grabs Owen and puts him in the front chancery. He turns towards the crowd, so Owen is lined up with the side of the cage. Thunder lets out a primal growl and swiftly drops Owen onto the steel mesh cage!! Thunder rolls over and starts maniacally laughing in Owen's face. Vinny continues.]

Vinny - Yous see Owen...da way Gwen go away? it was ME!!! Aye letta 'er go, punk...cause 'e ain't worth anytin ta yous...and now, I ain't gunna do no mo'e uh yo'ah dirty work!!

[Vinny chimes in.]

Vinny - Nevah-Mo-ah!!

[Thunder, Vinny and Gwen all get up and walk to the backstage area, leaving Owen in the middle of the isle, with his title and a broken side of a cage.]

Venom vs. Primetime * Sanders
World Title Shot On the Line

Ross: Well folks, now we have the World title contendership match between Primetime Sanders and Venom!

Lawler: My money’s on Venom!

Heenan: No way, it’ll be Primetime by a mile!

Ross: Hey hey, if you two want to bet, you know there IS a Super Bowl being played today!

Lawler: No, I already got money on that. 1,000 to win on St. Louis!

Heenan: No way, New England is going to take it all!

Lawler: No way! Rams are 14-point favourites!

Ross: Please guys, let’s get to the match at hand here! It’s a World title contendership for God sakes!

[Suddenly, over the speakers we hear “Down with the sickness” by Disturbed play as the fans give a mixed reaction. Venom’s huge body walks onto the ramp, with his wife Steph right by his side. Venom flexes his muscles and walks down the ramp and into the ring]

Lawler: There’s my guy right there! Go Venom!

Heenan: No way, Venom can’t stop Primetime Sanders!

Ross: Well, he does look ready to go, what a match this is going to be!

[Venom, who is now in the ring, is bouncing off the ropes, warming up. Then, the lights go off as the crowd boos in anticipation of what’s to come. Suddenly, huge pyros hit as “Here He Comes” by Jimi Hendrix begins blasting on the speakers. Primetime Sanders then walks out to a huge chorus of boos. Primetime, who seems to enjoy the boos, smiles as he makes his way towards the ring. Venom then hops out of the ring and meets Primetime on the ramp as the music continues to play, and eventually fades out]

Lawler: I told you Venom was ready to go!

Ross: Wow, they’re starting this match early!

[Primetime and Venom begin exchanging blows at the ramp as the crowd cheers, obviously glad to see the match begin with such a bang. Primetime then begins getting the better of Venom as the two men continue fighting down the ramp and towards the ring. Venom then grabs Primetime and throws him into the ring, causing Primetime’s ribs to slam into the side of the ring. Primetime drops to the ground in pain as Venom picks him up and tosses him under the bottom ropes and into the ring. Primetime then gets up as Venom jumps into the ring, and the two men begin going at it once again with huge right hands]

Heenan: Wow, what a match so far!

Ross: These men truly want to kill each other!

[Both men, who are beginning to tire of the right hands, begin slowing down as Primetime then grabs Venom and swings him around the ropes. Venom swings back and hits Primetime with a huge clothesline. Primetime drops to the floor as Venom runs over and picks him up, then tries to go for a huge powerbomb. Primetime, whose head is under Venom’s legs, stands up and swings Venom over the top of him. Venom’s huge body slams into the mat hard as Primetime turns around and begins kicking Venom]

Ross: No way he’s going to get that kind of Powerbomb this early in the match.

Lawler: Well you never know Jerry!

Heenan: Go Primetime!

Lawler: Shut up Heenan. Go Venom!

[Primetime, who is still kicking Venom, begins taunting the crowd and flexing his muscles. The crowd boos and begins yelling as Venom begins to try and get up. Primetime kicks Venom, but it does nothing. Venom gets up, then begins hitting Primetime with huge right hands. Primetime, after five rights to the face, drops to the mat, and rolls out of the ring. Venom, angry at Primetime running, stands in the ring and yells for him to come back in.]

Lawler: Wow, Primetime sure looks like he’s in control Heenan…

Heenan: That’s okay, he’s got him right where he wants him.

Ross: You know guys, announcers are supposed to be unbiased, and are supposed to call the match!

Heenan and Lawler at the same time: Yeah, supposed to…

[Primetime is still trying to find a spot to hop back in the ring, but doesn’t find one. Suddenly, Primetime bursts through the ropes and into the ring, but Venom is on top of it. Venom begins slamming Primetime with huge kicks while Primetime is still on the ground, trying to get up. Venom then picks Primetime up and attempts a backbreaker. Venom struggles a bit to pick Primetime up, but does, then slams Primetime’s back into his knee]

Ross: Wow, what power by Venom!
[Venom then stands up, and grabs Primetime by the head and picks him back up. Venom then hits a snapmare, sending Primetime right back to the mat. Venom laughs as he kicks Primetime a few times, then taunts the crowd. Venom picks Primetime up once again, but this time, Primetime begins slamming Venom with huge rights. Venom begins shuffling backwards as he continues to get hit by Primetime]

Heenan: Here he comes!

[Primetime then hits Venom with a huge clothesline, sending Venom over the ropes backward. Steph, who has been at ringside, runs over and kneels down next to her husband, trying to see if he’s all right. Primetime then hops out of the ring and chases Steph away. Primetime then grabs Venom, and runs his head into the metal post at the corner of the ring.]

Ross: Wow!

Lawler: That’s alright, Venom’s got it under control!

[Venom then drops back to the floor as Primetime walks over next to the announcers, and grabs a chair. Primetime folds the chair, then walks over to Venom and holds the chair over his head]

Lawler: What an idiot! He’s going to get disqualified!

Heenan: No!

[Primetime goes to hit Venom, but Steph is holding the chair from behind. Primetime then turns around to see Steph holding the chair. Primetime then drops the chair and walks towards Steph, yelling at her. Venom, seeing his wife in trouble, gets up and hits Primetime in the back of the head with a huge right hand. Primetime drops to the ground as Steph runs off and Venom begins kicking Primetime. Venom then picks up a dazed Primetime and sets up a powerbomb]

Lawler: Oh my God, he’s going to the table! Go Venom!

Ross: No, no!

Heenan: C’mon Primetime, snap out of it!

[Venom then slams Primetime right into the announce table, which smashes into millions of pieces. The crowd cheers at the excitement of the move as Venom hops up, laughing. Venom then picks Primetime up and tosses him into the ring. Venom then slams Primetime into the mat with a suplex, then goes for the pin. The referee then hops onto his stomach on the mat, trying to see if Primetime’s shoulders are down when suddenly, “Facing Hell” by Ozzy Osbourne hits the speakers, and none other than Emmitt runs out and down to ringside. Venom jumps up as the music hits, ready to see who’s coming out to ringside. Venom then begins yelling at Emmitt]

Ross: What, why is Emmitt out here?!

Lawler: That damn Primetime, he’s such a cheater!

Heenan: Oh, I guess it’s okay for Venom to have someone at ringside, but not Primetime?

Ross: Well Steph is a different story Bobby!

[Suddenly, Primetime hops up and hits Venom, who is still yelling at Emmitt. Venom drops to the ground for a moment as Emmitt scurries under the ring, and comes out with a metal pipe]

Ross: Hey!

Lawler: I knew it!

[The referee then looks back at Primetime and Venom, who are going at it in the ring. Emmitt then hops into the ring and hits the referee in the back of the head with the pipe, knocking the ref out cold. Emmitt then runs towards Venom and begins slamming him in the head with the metal pipe. Venom drops to the ground, but still tries to fight as Primetime and Emmitt begin double teaming Venom. Suddenly, Steph runs into the ring and grabs Primetime from behind. Primetime then yells at Steph, threatening her, but Steph doesn’t back off. Primetime, impatient with Steph at this point, pushes her away. Primetime then turns around and helps Emmitt finish off Venom. Primetime picks Venom up as Emmitt runs out of the ring, and goes under the ring once again, leaving the pipe and coming out with a chair. Emmitt then slides the chair in the ring, then comes in himself. Emmitt picks up the chair, and aims for Venom, who is being held up by Primetime. Emmitt connects to Venom’s head, bending the chair backward and causing Venom’s head to bleed severely. Emmitt then flees the ring, and grabs the evidence (pipe and chair) and runs up the ramp and into the back. Primetime then tries to wake up the referee, who finally gets up. Primetime then goes for the pin on Venom, and the referee slowly counts 1…2…3…!]

Announcer: AND your winner, who will receive a World title shot at the next Amped, Primetime Sanders!

[Primetime throws his arms in the air in victory as the crowd boos and begins throwing things into the ring. Primetime laughs, then bows to every corner of the arena, which brings more boos]

Heenan: I told you!

Lawler: Hey! Venom had that match won!

Ross: Primetime, what a dirty, rotten man he is! He doesn’t deserve that title shot!

Heenan: Sure he does! He won it didn’t he?!

Ross: Only because Emmitt bailed him out! Damn him!

[Suddenly, Primetime grabs a microphone from the announcer and catches his breath as the crowd continues to boo]

Primetime: I did it! I did it! Didn’t I tell you all I would do it?! As for you Venom, no hard feelings ‘eh? You would have done the same thing if you could have! As for me, I’ll see the winner of the Battle Royale next Amped, when I’ll become the World champion! Hahahahah! Oh, and thanks to Emmitt for all his “support” during this match, hahahah!

[The crowd boos as “Here He Comes” by Jimi Hendrix hits once again, and Primetime gets out of the ring and walks up the ramp, still hearing boos from the crowd]

Ross: Well what a crap match we saw there! The best man didn’t win!

Heenan: Ahhh Primetime would have won anyway, it doesn’t matter!

Lawler: Good thing I didn’t bet on this match…

Ross: What sick men Emmitt and Primetime are…Sick, sick men…

Heenan: Ahh quit your crying Ross, we’ll be right back!

Ross: Hey that’s my line!

Winner: Primetime * Sanders

Anthony "Ant" Brown vs. Jarrod Steele vs. Owen Hart vs. Terra vs. Bazooka vs. Thunder vs. Vinny "the Chin" Esposito vs. Jeff Hardy
World Title Battle Royal Match

Heenan: It’s main event time!

Ross: You’re right about that, Bobby. And I can’t wait!

King: Time to throw out your predictions, guys! Before the Nation-Wide title match, I would’ve said Owen Hart but he took one hell of a beating. Thunder really showed me something in that match though. I’m going with him.

Ross: You’re right, Thunder showed he could be ruthless when need be but Bazooka has shown he’s ready to step it up. I’m going with him to win it all tonight.

Heenan: Well, you’re both wrong. I’ll tell you that right now. Now that Owen has been completely obliterated, there’s only one man who can win this… Terra! He knows he only has a few chances left so he’s going to give it his all. He’ll also have this new manager with him. He can’t lose.

Ross: One factor we forgot to take into consideration was where all these guys will be entering. Thus far, we don’t have a clue who’s coming in first, last, or anywhere in between.

King: I think they’re ready to bring out the first guy.

[“Highway To The Danger Zone” hits in the arena. The fans get on their feet and boo heavily as the Terra steps out onto the stage. He frowns and stomps his feet all the way to the ring after drawing the worst spot in the battle royal. Once Terra is inside, the timer begins.]

Ross: What an unlucky draw for Terra. With two minute intervals, he’s gotta last atleast fourteen minutes at the absolute least. He’s probably got to last half an hour or more to win this.

Heenan: Damnit… There goes my prediction.

[The announcers continue rambling on while Terra hops up on the ropes and poses for the fans. As the timer at the bottom of the screen reaches the ten second mark, the fans count along with it. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! A loud buzzer sounds. “Who We Be” hits in the arena. The Ant steps out onto the stage and stares at Terra. He then charges down and slides in the ring. The two trade rights and lefts until Terra gets the advantage. He backs the Terra into the corner and rams a knee into his gut a few times. Terra hooks an arm under the Ant’s knee and lifts him up onto the top turnbuckle. The Ant begins to squirm, trying to break free and avoid elimination. Terra continues trying to dump the Ant over the top rope but the Ant has wrapped a leg around the top rope and won’t break his hold. Terra let’s go and focuses on unwrapping the Ant’s leg from the top rope. The countdown begins again. The buzzer sounds and the “Italian Mix” begins to play. The fans get on their feet and show heavy, HEAVY heat for Vinny after turning on Owen earlier in the night. Vinny takes his time getting down to the ring, letting Terra and the Ant tire each other just a little more. He finally climbs in the ring.]

Heenan: It’s Vinny! He showed some real guts out there earlier when he turned on Owen. He’s got what it takes to win this thing afterall.

[Terra gives up on unhooking the Ant’s leg so just hammers him with a few punches to the face. Vinny charges in on the two who have their backs turned. Vinny hits a stiff forearm to the back of Terra’s head. The force breaks the Ant free. He tumbles over the top rope but hits the apron and slides back in under the bottom rope. Vinny turns Terra around in the corner and hits him with rights and lefts. The Ant jumps on Vinny’s back and tries to choke him out. Vinny swings him around trying to get him off.]

Ross: I hate to do this but I’m being told there’s something we should see going on backstage. Let’s take a look.

A Break In The Action

[We cut backstage. Michael Cole is seen standing next to a door marked with the CEO’s nameplate.]

Cole: Hello everyone, I’m here outside the CEO’s dressing room where I’m told Venom has just entered. We see Venom attack Vice President Plaxton earlier in the week, could he be doing the same to the CEO now? It doesn’t sound like it but anything is possible.

[Cole is quieted by the CEO’s door swinging open. Venom emerges with a smile on his face.]

Cole: Venom! Can I get a few words with you?

[Venom looks at Cole and just smiles even bigger. He then throws a black and white striped shirt over his shoulder and walks away.]

Cole: Was that what I thought it was? What happened in there!?

[Terra stumbles out of the corner and hits a chop block to the back of Vinny’s knee who is still spinning around in circles in the middle of the ring. Vinny falls backward landing hard on the Ant. Terra picks Vinny up by the hair and whips him into the ropes. Terra backs up against the ropes and bends down hoping for an easy back body drop to eliminate Vinny. Vinny sees it coming and stops short. He then hits a stiff kick to the chest of the Terra. The countdown again begins followed by the buzzer. The fans look to the curtain. “In The End” hits and Bazooka steps out onto the stage. The fans pop slightly for the Hardcore champ. He runs down to the ring and slides in.]

Heenan: Your pick draws 4, Ross.

Ross: Yes he did. I think the size advantage and the relatively good spot will result in a win for Bazooka.

[Bazooka gets to his feet and hits a big boot to Vinny who runs at him. Terra runs at Bazooka next and gets a big boot of his own. Terra and Vinny both stay down. Bazooka walks over to the Ant and picks him up. He hammers him with a few punches then picks him up overhead in a press slam. Bazooka walks over to the ropes and tosses the Ant to the outside.]

Heenan: The Ant is gone!

Ross: We’ve had our first elimination.

[Bazooka turns back and scoops up Terra. He attempts to pick Terra up in a press slam as well but is struggling with the near 50 pounds extra. Vinny recovers and grabs Bazooka from behind in a waist lock. Not knowing what to do next, Vinny just stands there. Bazooka dumps Terra down to the mat with a weak body slam to focus his energies on Vinny. Bazooka hits an elbow to the side of Vinny’s head. Vinny loosens the waist lock and breaks it with the next elbow. Bazooka turns to face Vinny and lays him out with a clothesline. The countdown begins and the buzzer sounds. The Hardyz theme hits in the arena. Jeff steps out onto the stage to a mixed reaction. He runs down to the ring and slides in.]

King: Jeff Hardy!

Heenan: He doesn’t stand a chance!

[Hardy charges at Bazooka and hits him with a spear. Bazooka stands firm while Jeff bounces off and hits the mat. Jeff, now brought back down to earth, backs into a corner. Bazooka moves in slowly knowing he Jeff’s fate in this match is in his hands. Bazooka smiles devilishly. All the sudden Terra hits Bazooka from behind with a running high knee. Bazooka stumbles into the corner. Jeff dives out of the way just in time and Bazooka collides with the turnbuckle. Vinny, Terra, and Jeff all hammer away on Bazooka. Vinny and Terra whip him into the ropes then join hands to hit him with a double clothesline. Bazooka goes down hard and stays there. The three then begin to stomp the life out of Bazooka. Terra backs away and motions for the Stilleto. The fans boo heavily. Vinny and Jeff slowly stop their stomping and allow Bazooka to crawl to his feet. Once to his feet, Terra lays him out with the super kick. The three then begin the task of lifting the 300+ pounder to his feet so they can toss him over the top rope. The buzzer sounds and “Enough is Enough” hits. Vinny whips his head around with a shocked look on his face. The fans get on their feet and cheer heavily as a badly beaten Owen Hart limps out onto the stage. Owen looks around the arena smiling at the fans in appreciation. Vinny stands in the middle of the ring and motions for Owen to “bring it.” Terra and Hardy still focus on getting Bazooka out.]

Heenan: Oh no! The Can-It Connection explodes!

King: Forgive him, Owen. Reunite, please!

[Owen climbs up onto the apron and stares at Vinny for a moment. He then enters through the ropes and the two go to punches. Owen gains the upper hand and backs Vinny into a corner. He continues hitting Vinny with the stiffest punches yet. The crowd is worked into a frenzy and are now completely behind Owen. Owen seems to be recharged by the cheers and looks good as new. He whips Vinny into the ropes and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. Owen jumps to his feet and lets out an excited “Wooooo!” The fans return the “Wooo!” Owen then jumps high into the air and comes down hard across Vinny’s neck with a leg drop. Vinny claws at his throat not able to breathe. Owen takes the opportunity to lock on the Sharpshooter! Vinny screams in pain as Owen wrenches back further than we’ve ever seen. Vinny taps the ring mat like a mad man. Owen won’t break the hold! Meanwhile, Bazooka finally recovers from the superkick and elbow Jeff Hardy in the side of the head. Hardy stumbles backward giving Bazooka the room to punch Terra in the face. He does just that and Terra stumbles backward as well. The countdown begins once more. The buzzer sounds and “Welcome to the Jungle” hits. The fans boo VERY heavily as Thunder steps out onto the stage.]

Heenan: Oh my God! We’re about to see round 2!

[Thunder sees Owen with the Sharpshooter still locked on Vinny. He runs down the ramp and slides in the ring. Owen breaks the Sharpshooter but not in time to duck a hard clothesline from Thunder. Thunder begins hammering away on Owen. Vinny just lays on the mat motionless after such an extended and painful Sharpshooter. Terra sees Thunder attacking Owen and forgets all about Bazooka. Bazooka and Jeff Hardy brawl off into a corner while Terra helps Thunder out. The two beat on Owen. They pick him up and whip Owen into the ropes. They both boot Owen in the stomach and set up for a double suplex. They pull it off to perfection. Owen hits the mat and grabs his back in pain. In the corner, Bazooka nails Jeff with a few elbows then picks him up and dumps him over the top rope with ease. Bazooka turns to Terra and Thunder and lays them out with a double clothesline. The fans explode in cheers. Thunder and Terra both bounce back up to their feet. Bazooka nails one of them with a few punches then the other with a few punches. He finishes it off by grabbing them both by the hair and smashing their heads together. The buzzer sounds bringing out the last competitor. Jarrod Steele steps out onto the stage to a mixed reaction.]

King: Steele with the luck of the draw!

Ross: Jarrod is apparently our lucky winner drawing that coveted 8 spot. As big as he is, he has a shot at winning this thing!

[Jarrod charges down to the ring and slides in. Jarrod grabs Bazooka by the shoulder and turns him around. The two stand nose to nose in a stare down. Punches begin to fly. Jarrod gets the better of Bazooka, backing him into a corner. Thunder and Terra recover and go over to help Steele out. They hammer away on Bazooka until he seems to be completely unconscious. They lift him up so that he’s laying across the top rope in the corner. Bazooka comes to and tries to fight out of it. Thunder, Terra, and Jarrod struggle to keep him on the top rope. Bazooka almost fights his way off the top rope but Emmitt jumps the railing. He hops up on the apron and helps eliminate Bazooka. Bazooka finally falls to the outside once the fourth man arrives to help. A referee hops over the railing as well and begins to officiate a Hardcore title match on the outside.]

Heenan: We’ve got two title matches going on at once!

King: This is chaos! Pure chaos!

Ross: Oh come on! That was hardly fair!

[Emmitt lays the boots to Bazooka on the outside. Bazooka fights to his feet and hits a headbutt on Emmitt. The two battle up the ramp to the backstage area. Thunder and Terra turn back to Owen who’s still laying motionless on the mat. Jarrod takes Terra down from behind with a forearm to the back of his neck. Thunder turns and nails Steele with a hard punch. The alliance has been broken. Thunder boots Steele in the stomach and sets up for the Shockwave. Thunder pulls it off to heavy boos. Vinny finally begins to come to on the mat. He gets to his feet as does Owen. The two begin to brawl. They roll around on the mat trading punches. Thunder pulls Steele to his feet and tries to force him over the top rope. Steele, out of it, doesn’t put up much of a fight. Once Terra gets to his feet, he helps. Jarrod begins fighting back more, barely staying in the match. Owen hits an enziguri on Vinny out of nowhere. He hops up to the top rope and motions for the elbow drop. Terra turns and knows what’s coming. He charges at Owen hoping to crotch him or possibly eliminate him. Owen sees Terra coming and times his jump just right. Owen leaps OVER a running Terra and lands the elbow drop perfectly to the heart of Vinny with the exposed elbow! Vinny kicks his legs wildly in pain.]

Heenan: Wow! What a great move!

[Vinny jumps to his feet clutching his chest. Owen grabs him by the hair and quickly tosses him over the top rope. Vinny hits the floor outside and is officially eliminated. Thunder dumps Jarrod over the top rope and turns just inside to see Vinny being dumped over. Thunder flips out and charges at Owen. Owen ducks a clothesline from him. Terra grabs Owen from behind and hits him with a bulldog. Owen gets to his feet and receives a superkick for it from Terra. Terra laughs and grabs Owen. He pulls him to his feet and attempts to toss him out. He puts a limp Owen on the top rope and flips the crowd off before eliminating their new favorite. Just before Terra can give Owen one last push, Thunder grabs Terra from behind and turns him around. The two begin to argue seemingly over who gets to eliminate Owen.]

Heenan: Uh oh. Now this alliance is done.

King: Not yet! Maybe they can come to an agreement!

[Terra loses his temper and pushes Thunder. Thunder’s eyes get wide shocked that Terra would lay a hand on him. He pushes Terra back a little harder. The two stand nose to nose in a stare down. Owen falls off the top rope back inside the ring. The two begin firing off punches at one another. The fans explode in cheers, happy to see the alliance broken. Terra gets the better of Thunder but Thunder boots him in the stomach while he still can. Terra is doubled over giving Thunder the chance to hit a double ax handle. He does just that taking Terra to a knee. Thunder then walks over to Owen and attempts to toss him out. Terra sees it and grabs Thunder from behind. He slaps Thunder across the face. The crowd lets out a loud “Wooo!” Terra follows it up with a few chops to the chest each drawing the same reaction from the crowd. Owen rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope and grabs a chair. He gets back in the ring with it.]

Heenan: Is that legal?

Ross: It looks like it. No one is stopping him.

[Owen gets to his feet and nails Thunder with a very stiff chair shot. Thunder wobbles on his feet for a moment then is taken down with another very stiff chair shot. Owen smiles big at the bent chair. Terra takes the opportunity to superkick the chair into Owen’s face. Owen stumbles backward where Terra clotheslines him over the top rope. Owen falls to the outside, eliminated. Boos rain down like there’s no tomorrow. Terra slowly turns back around with his mouth wide open. He then realizes he’s eliminated Owen and begins jumping up and down so happy he can barely stand it. Terra hops up on the turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air as if he’s won the World title. He hops down and runs to the other side and does the same thing.]

Heenan: Uh… I think he forgot he’s still got Thunder in there.

King: He better snap out of it and toss Thunder out before he recovers!

[Terra drops to his knees in the middle of the ring and looks to begin to tear up. He then throws his fists in the air once again. Terra stands, wiping a tear away. He turns to find Thunder standing staring a hole through him. The smile disappears from Terra’s face. Thunder throws a punch but Terra ducks it. The two begin to circle each other as if a whole new match has begun. They lock up at center ring. Both jockey for position but have to break it once both fail. They try again. Still, neither can gain a clear advantage over the other so they break. They go to lock up again but Terra sneaks in a knee. He hits Thunder in the gut. Terra backs up and motions for the superkick once more. Once Thunder stands upright, Terra goes for it. Thunder ducks it just in time. Terra turns around and gets booted in the stomach. Thunder sets up for the Shockwave. Terra back body drops Thunder over out of desperation. Thunder gets back to his feet immediately and the two stare down once more.]

King: Could these two be more evenly matched!?

Ross: Not unless they were Thunder and OWEN.

[The two circle each other once more. Vinny, who has come back down to ringside, hops up on the apron. Terra turns and goes to punch him but Vinny ducks it. Thunder charges in and hits Terra with a forearm. Terra tumbles over the top rope but hits the apron. Thunder begins stomping him as Terra tries to roll back in under the bottom rope. Vinny grabs a chair from ringside but the referee overseeing the match grabs it. Thunder sees his help being neutralized and flips out. He yells at the ref from the ring and breaks his concentration. The ref and Vinny continue fighting over the chair while Thunder screams from inside the ring. Terra rolls back in the ring and picks Thunder’s legs up. He dumps Thunder to the outside. Terra begins jumping up and down in celebration.]

King: My God, Terra’s done it! He’s won the World title!

Heenan: I did it! I called it! I called the winner!

[Terra begins to tear up once again. He asks for the belt but in doing so, notices the ref and Vinny are still fighting over the chair. He yells at the ref to get him to turn around and see that he’s won the match and to call for the bell. Thunder sees his opportunity and grabs Terra’s foot from the outside. He pulls Terra down and yanks him out of the ring under the bottom rope. Thunder grabs Terra by the hair and smashes his face into the nearby ring steps. Thunder then quickly rolls into the ring. He yells at Vinny let go of the chair. Vinny does and the ref takes the chair. He turns to see Thunder in the ring and Terra laying on the outside. He turns to the timekeeper and motions for him to ring the bell.]

Fink: The winner of this match and NEW World Heavyweight Champion… Thuuuundeeeer!

[Vinny takes the World title from the timekeeper and slides in the ring with it. He hands it to Thunder and two share a hug. Vinny then holds Thunder’s arm up in victory. Thunder then drops to his knees drenched with sweat and dead tired. He clutches the World title in his hands and stares at it happily.]

Ross: No! No! That’s not fair! No!

King: I called it! I called it, Heenan! Ha ha ha ha! Thunder wins! Thunder wins!

Ross: No! This can’t be! Terra was robbed!

King: It took him more than a year but he’s finally done it! Thunder has finally climbed back to the top to gain the World title! I don’t believe it!

[The show goes off the air with Terra climbing to his feet on the outside a little confused about what’s going on.]

Winner: Thunder (New Champ)
