U.S. Bank Arena

Cincinati, Ohio

Attendance:

September 7, 2004

TWF fans entered the U.S. Bank arena, home of the Cincinati Bearcats basketball squad, waiting for the stars of Rampage to set things on fire. It didn't take long for them to do just that as Uprising provided two big matches to kick things off.

Chuck Palumbo vs. Danny Basham

Chuck started off strong, hammering Danny with his stiff right hands. But Basham was able to turn things around with a sideslam. After wearing Palumbo down, he scooped him up but Palumbo countered into a small package to win the match.

Lita vs. Jessica Lopez

These two brought the house down before Rampage even went live. For 15 minutes and 35 seconds, they went move for move, showing similar styles and a keen sense of what the other was going to do. After reversing an irish whip, Lita caught Lopez coming off the ropes with a hurracanrana and pulled her legs up for the quick 3 count.

As Lita's music played, she went up the ramp with her finger in the air to a huge cheer.

*On a side note, a match between Sylvan Grenier and Frankie Kazarian was scratched due to Kazarian having some travel problems.

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, THE UNDERTAKER IS SHOWN HOLDING UP THE TWF TITLE AR MELTDOWN AS THE AUDIO PLAYBACK OF JIM ROSS SAYING "THE DAY OF DARKNESS HAS ARRIVED" IS RAN.

"ACROSS THE NATION" THEN STARTS UP AND THE MONTAGE OF RAMPAGE, FILLED WITH A FEW NEW CLIPS, IS SHOWN. AFTER IT ZOOMS OUT, THE U.S. BANK ARENA IS SHOWN AND PYRO POPS OFF ON THE SET.

Jim Ross: "The second biggest event of our pay-per-view year was a huge success! TWF MeltDown lived up to expectations and then some King"!

Jerry Lawler: "It was viewed in something like forty seven countries J.R. and I'm sure there weren't too many complaints"!

"HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" IS HEARD OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS IN SCOTT STEINER's VOICE AND THAT LEADS INTO HIS MUSIC AS HE WALKS INTO THE ARENA WITH 3 BARELY DRESSED WOMEN.

J.R.: "There can't be too many complaints that this man is still one Rampage".

Lawler: "No way! First off, look at those girls! And not only that, but no more Network Police"!

J.R.: "We've been told that the Network Police resigned from their positions with the FCC today. Why couldn't we see this? I wanted to see if they actually had those positions"!

Lawler: "The less we have to deal with those guys the better J.R.".

Scott Steiner: "Ya know it felt real good to pin Nathan Jones at MeltDown and to have the knowledge that I got rid of the Network Police!

THE CROWD CHEERS IN AGREEMENT.

But ya know what? It feels even better to be out here in front of all you guys! Freakzilla didn't have any plans to leave and I didn't! So I wanted to come out here tonight and not only express my happiness for getting those punks off your tv sets, but to remind you that Big Poppa Pump is your hook up.... holla.....

Interrupting Voice: "Hold on one second here pal"!

CHRISTIAN EMERGES FROM THE BACK WITH A-TRAIN AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS.

J.R.: "What the heck is this"?

Christian: "Ya know Steiner, just because you won the Censorship match, doesn't mean that the Network Police were the only ones who didn't want you on Rampage anymore! I could care less how you talk or what kind of women you come out here with.... I'd like to see you go cause you flat out suck"!

Lawler: "Whoa"!

Steiner: "Is that right? You think just because you got a win over HBK the other night with the help of that bald freak right there, that you can come out here and interrupt me?! Christian, I've never been much of a talker, I'm one of those guys that likes to settle things right here"!

THE FANS GET VERY LOUD AS STEINER OPENS THE ROPES.

J.R.: "Sounds like a challenge to me".

Christian: "Ya know Steiner, there is nothing I would rather do than to kick your ass in front of all these Cincinatians right here tonight..... but I'm not gonna get in there with almost two thousand dollars worth of clothes on"!

Lawler: "They do look expensive".

Steiner: "So what you're saying is that you're a bitch"!

CHRISTIAN ACTS LIKE HE's GONNA GO TO THE RING BUT A-TRAIN HOLDS HIM BACK AND GRABS THE MIC FROM CHRISTIAN.

A-Train: "Steiner.... you want a fight? Look no further than me"!

J.R.: "A-Train's makin' a challenge now"!

Steiner: "Me and you? You got it boy"!

STEINER's MUSIC HITS AND HE GETS ON THE TURNBUCKLE, FLEXING HIS BICEPS AS THE CROWD CHEERS.

Lawler: "Steiner and A-Train tonight J.R."!

J.R.: "A-Train's gonna bail Christian out again it looks like but also tonight......

A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN DISPLAYING TONIGHT's MAIN EVENT.

we have what is being billed the rematch clause six man tag"!

Lawler: "It's Kurt Angle teaming with Jamal and Rosey to face The Undertaker and Pyronomics"!

J.R.: "Basically if Angle's team wins then he gets a rematch for the World title but if they lose, Cena and Pyromania get another shot at Jamal and Rosey"!

Lawler: "Well don't go away cause we've got High Octane and Justin Sane goin' at it next"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR COORS LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "MR. 3,000" STARRING BERNIE MAC.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.....

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, JUSTIN SANE IS IN THE RING AND "WE DON'T DIE" BY TWIZTED IS PLAYING. WHEN IT STOPS, AN ENGINE LOUDLY REVS UP AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYS.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage as we get set for action here with High Octane who oddly enough hasn't been as prevalent here on Rampage of late King".

Lawler: "Well he continually says he's biding his time, whatever that means".

J.R.: "Several weeks ago these two were having some serious issues with one another and this should be a great test for both men".

Lawler: "Can you imagine what Justin Sane could do by beating Damion West here"?

J.R.: "Yeah, how long would he be biding his time then"?

"High Octane" Damion West vs. Justin Sane

The bell sounded and High Octane moved in with a cocky smile on his face. But Justin Sane became ultra aggressive early, grabbing Octane around the throat and throwing him into the corner. He then pushed referee Jose Mendez aside and stomped away at Octane who was doing all he could to cover up. Finally, Mendez got some seperation and Octane got to his feet. But Sane again moved in and began driving his shoulder into the gut of Octane. He then pulled him out for a vertical suplex but Octane countered it and pushed Sane into the corner after landing behind him. He then dropkicked him in the back and schoolboyed him for a 1......2....., but Sane escaped. Octane went for a clothesline but Sane ducked and kicked him in the gut, hitting a swinging neckbreaker. Sane then pointed to the corner, getting the crowd's approval and went up top as Octane began to recover. He came off with a moonsault but Octane moved a few steps in to avoid contact. Sane landed on his feet but immediately had the lights turned out with the "Head on Collision" which sent a smack throughout the arena. Octane then fell on him and hooked the far leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:14

Lawler: "Oh my gosh what a shot! Justin Sane might need plastic surgery after that kick"!

J.R.: "He really put him out with that one and High Octane keeps on the winning ways here on Rampage".

AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYED, OCTANE LOOKED BACK AT SANE WHO WAS STILL DOWN IN THE RING WITH A DISTURBING LOOK IN HIS EYES, A LOOK USUALLY RESERVED FOR JUSTIN SANE.

BACKSTAGE.....

A MAN IN A NICE SUIT APPROACHES THE DOOR OF STEPHANIE McMAHON WITH A BOUQUET OF ROSES IN HAND. HE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND SECONDS LATER, SHE OPENS IT.

Stephanie McMahon: "Uh, who are those for"?

Man: "Are you Stephanie McMahon"?

Steph: "Yes".

HE HANDS THEM HER WAY.

Man: "These are for you"?

Steph: (surprised) "Me? Who are they from"?

Man: "There's a card inside, I must be going now".

THE MAN WALKS AWAY AND STEPHANIE, STILL STARTLED, SHUTS HER DOOR AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE BROADCAST POSITION.

J.R.: "Well King I don't know what that's all about and apparently neither does our owner".

"LET ME HOLLA AT YA PLAYA" IS HEARD IN TEDDY LONG's VOICE AND OUT HE COMES, DANCING AROUND WITH HIS MEN MATT MORGAN AND JOHNNY BLAZE.

Lawler: "Let me holla ta ya J.R."!

J.R.: "Oh! Don't do that in my ear please"!

Lawler: "Sorry J.R., I just really dig this guy"!

J.R.: "We saw the debut of Brother Long's newest acquistion Matt Morgan and needless to say, he was impressive".

Lawler: "Impressive? This guy's a beast J.R.".

"STAND BACK.... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AND OUT COMES THE DYNAMIC DUO TO A GREAT CHEER.

J.R.: "The fans here in Cincinati seem to be huge fans of our superhero tandem here but they've got their work cut out for them tonight".

Lawler: "Ya know if we were in Florida, that whole bit about a hurricane comin' through would be literal".

J.R.: "You're so caring King, can't you just refrain from the stupidity for one night"?

Lawler: "Okay you were talkin' about having their hands full. Yeah I'd say they have their hands full! They'd have their hands full in a handicap match against Matt Morgan"!

J.R.: "This will be the first time Morgan and Johnny Blaze team with one another but I know Teddy Long has high hopes".

Under a Brotha Services w/ Teddy Long vs. The Dynamic Duo

Johnny Blaze started things off with Hurricane who offered a hand shake. But Blaze just laughed and backed away before the men locked up in a collar and elbow tie. Quickly, Hurricane took Blaze down with an arm drag before grabbing Blaze's hand and shaking it, a move the fans got a kick out of. At the same time, it seemed to throw Blaze off his game as he took a wild swing and Hurricane ducked, catching him with right hands to the face and body. Off an irish whip, Hurricane hit a back elbow and tagged in Cyclone who delivered a russian leg sweep before going for a cover but Morgan reached over the top rope and pulled Cyclone off by his foot. Blaze then got up and hit Cyclone from behind with a double axe handle. He shot Cyclone to the ropes but was errant with a clothesline and Cyclone caught him with a cross body block before tagging in Hurricane who combined with him for a double slingshot suplex. Hurricane then went to the top and came off with the Overcap. He was slow in making a cover and was only able to get a 2 count. For the next couple minutes, the Duo paired off against Blaze. But Blaze was able to catch him with a spin kick out of nowhere and then he made the all important tag to Morgan. Morgan smashed Cyclone with a clothesline before hoisting Hurricane over the top rope and into the ring. He threw Hurricane right into his own partner and then kicked him right in the face. Morgan then lifted Hurricane up and launched him out of the ring from a gorilla press position. Cyclone stumbled to his feet before Morgan pulled him in and put him down with a sit down powerbomb. But Blaze was jumping up and down, wanting the tag. Morgan tagged him in and he picked Cyclone up, hitting the "Up in Smoke" facebuster and covering him for the 3 count.

Match Time: 12:27

THEIR MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN AS TEDDY LONG LOOKED VERY JUBILANT.

Lawler: "Oh boy J.R., I think Teddy Long's onto something here"!

Lawler: "Can you believe Johnny Blaze wanting to finish that thing... come on"!

Lawler: "I think he and Teddy Long can do just about anything they want with Matt Morgan around"!

THE SHOT FADES OUT AS RAMPAGE GOES TO BREAK.

A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW LEXUS 2005 ES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR T-MOBILE IS SHOWN.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION, THE NETWORK POLICE, MINUS NATHAN JONES, ARE SHOWN DEJECTEDLY WATCHING RAMPAGE.

Steven Richards: "I can't believe this boss... we had to turn in our badges and everything"!

BACK AT THE ARENA.... BACKSTAGE AREA.....

SHELTON BENJAMIN IS SHOWN HOPPING IN PLACE AS THE CROWD INSIDE LOUDLY CHEERS.

J.R.: "There's our former King of Cable".

JUST THEN, CARNEY COMES UP.

Carney: "Hey Shelton, I know we have a match in a few minutes, but before we go out there, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for not seeing Corey hook your tights at MeltDown man".

Shelton Benjamin: "Nah it's cool man, let's just go out there and show those chumps what we're all about".

THE 2 MEN SLAP HANDS AS A NEW VIDEO IS SHOWN. IT IS SET ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A RANCH AS SEVERAL HORSES ARE SHOWN. BRADSHAW THEN APPEARS WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Bradshaw: "Hello there. With November quickly approaching, I just wanted to remind all you great TWF fans of what kind of man I am. If I'm not handing out stock tips on the radio, I'm at home here, taking care of personal business. The lives I touch and the lives I help on a daily basis is more than most of you watching will do in your entire life. So please, think it over and make a logical choice.... Bradshaw in 2004.

MORE OF THE RANCH IS SHOWN INCLUDING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY LAVISH HOME.

TWF RE-WIND

SHOWS JOE COREY REGAINING THE KING OF CABLE TITLE FROM SHELTON BENJAMIN AT MELTDOWN, A MATCH CARNEY REFEREED.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT IN A VERY EXPENSIVE LOOKING SUIT. HE HAS TERRI AND DESIRE ON EITHER SIDE OF HIM.

J.R.: "Tag team action coming up here but what the heck were we just watching? Bradshaw in 2004"?

Lawler: "I don't know what he's up to. Last we saw of him he was brawling with Val Venis backstage".

"LYING FROM ME" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS AND JOE COREY STEPS OUT TO SOME HARSH BOOS, HOLDING THE KING OF CABLE TITLE ABOVE HIS HEAD. ALEXIS LAREE IS WITH HIM AS WELL.

J.R.: "Yeah, over his wonderful stock advice".

Lawler: "Well let's not talk about that tonight J.R., let's talk about our brand new King of Cable, Joe Corey".

J.R.: "He won it for a second time, joining John Cena as the only men to have done that".

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND BOTH CARNEY AND SHELTON BENJAMIN STEP OUT TO A BIG CHEER.

Lawler: "And he's beaten Cena for the title so if you ask me, he's the best King of Cable we've had"!

J.R.: "Well that's debateable and I know both of these men here have something to say about that but in a weird way, even though they're partners, they're both gunning for that belt and they both want the next shot King".

Lawler: "Well they're gonna have to be a cohesive unit tonight J.R. or they'll never beat a team like Corey and Taylor".

J.R.: "Corey and Taylor have never been the best of friends either".

"The Show" Joe Corey and Taylor Made w/ Alexis Laree, Terri and Desire vs. Shelton Benjamin and Carney

Taylor started things off with Carney and Carney seemed to be the quicker of the two. After a front dropkick, he hit the ropes and connected with a cactus clothesline. Taylor popped up but Carney grabbed his feet and went into a split legged pin, ala former TWF superstar Jeff Hardy. Taylor was able to get up at 2 but the sparkplug of the TWF hit the ropes again for a basement dropkick before tagging in Benjamin. The former amatuer superstar took Taylor to the mat in a hammerlock and had him in quite a predicament. That was until Corey entered the ring and broke it up with a stomp to the head. Benjamin got up and went after him but Taylor swept his feet out from behind. Taylor then went and dropped Carney with a cheap shot before tagging in Corey. After a pendulum backbreaker, Corey bounced off the ropes and put a big kneedrop on Benjamin. He then picked Benjamin up in a dragon sleeper but Benjamin brought his knee up into the head of Corey to break the hold. He tagged in Carney who was ready to go at it with The Show but Corey dove to his corner but couldn't make the tag before Carney grabbed his foot and spun him around before hitting a big clothesline. After a snap suplex, Carney hit a standing moonsault to get a 2 count. He then tagged in Benjamin and they went to opposite corners, coming off with a double team that saw Carney use a legdrop and Benjamin hit a big splash on Corey. It was all over but before referee Chad Patton could make a count, Taylor was in to break it up. Patton got in Taylor's face, trying to force him to his corner. Benjamin and Carney pulled Corey up but Patton forced Benjamin to his corner. While this was going on, Taylor took out Carney with a chop block that folded him up and Corey put The Cage on him. Quickly and with no alternative, Carney tapped out.

Match Time: 6:35

Lawler: "Ahahaha, look at that"!

J.R.: "Oh how funny! Nothin' like a couple rule benders"!

BENJAMIN GOT IN TO CHECK ON CARNEY AND TAYLOR CAME FROM BEHIND WITH A LOW BLOW ON HIM.

Lawler: "Uh oh, I don't think they're done".

J.R.: "Oh for God sake, someone stop this"!

COREY GRABBED HIS TITLE FROM ALEXIS AND GOT DOWN NEXT TO CARNEY, YELLING AT HIM THAT HE WILL NEVER GET ANY CLOSER TO HIS BELT THAN THAT.

J.R.: "That's just damn pathetic folks"!

Lawler: "He's sending a message to anyone and everyone J.R.! Challenge The Show and you might end up like these two"!

BACKSTAGE......

STEPHANIE IS IN HER OFFICE, STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE FLOWERS CAME FROM.

Stephanie: "Ugh, this card makes no sense, I don't need to try and solve a riddle".

JUST THEN, VAL VENIS ENTERS.

Val Venis: "Oh hey Steph, nice flowers".

Steph: "Oh those... thanks. What can I do for you Val"?

Venis: "Well.....

Voice: "There you are".

SUDDENLY, AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES UP AND GETS IN VENIS' FACE.

Venis: "Yeah, there sure is... Mr. Wrestling".

Venis: "What"?

Pyromania: "Am I wrong or was it you who was under the Mr. Wrestling mask not all that long ago, trying to foll everyone".

Venis: "Yeah, that was me".

Pyromania: "Okay, well it just so happens that whoever attacked me at MeltDown was wearing the same mask".

Venis: "Look man, I know what you're thinking but I swear, it wasn't me. I can prove it".

Steph: "Look guys, calm down. Austin, I don't think Val would've done something like this. And just to make sure this doesn't happen again, if anyone is found in possession of that mask..... I'll fire them"!

BACK IN THE RING, "GET THE PARTY STARTED" BY PINK IS PLAYING AND ALEX MIRAN IS IN THE RING GETTING LOOSE.

Lawler: "Wow, fired J.R."?

J.R.: "Yes and I agree with that judgement".

VICTORIA's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A FAVORABLE CHEER.

Lawler: "Well then you better get rid of your mask J.R.".

J.R.: "You're just a box of laughs tonight ya know it? Anyway, two ladies that used to be good acquaintances with one another are gonna go at it here".

Lawler: "Alex Miran informed Victoria that she has better things to do than to make friends and if you ask me, it'll be Miran who goes farther with an attitude like that".

J.R.: "Yeah, maybe you should ask her out King, you like 'em young"!

Lawler: "Is there something wrong with that"?

Victoria vs. Alex Miran

2 of the most athletic females the TWF has ever seen showed a growing hatred for one another. After a tie up, Miran whipped Victoria to the mat by her hair and kicked her in the ribs. But Victoria charged up and tackled Miran. Referee Jack Doan pulled them apart and it was Victoria who smashed her with a crescent kick. She hooked the leg but Miran got a foot on the bottom rope to break it up. Miran was dazed but able to reverse an irish whip. After putting her head down early, Victoria went for an irish whip but Miran sat down on her to get a near fall. Both women were up and Miran hit an immediate neckbreaker after ducking a clothesline. She then went to the top rope and came off with a cross body block but Victoria used her own momentum against her and reversed it for a 1........2......., but Miran got up. Victoria then shot her to the corner but Miran stuck a foor right in her face when she charged in before hitting a DDT that spiked Victoria's head. Miran seemed to be in firm control as she lifted Victoria up but Victoria used a quick small package for the 1.....2......3.

Match Time: 5:16

J.R.: "And that's it! She got her"!

Lawler: "It only looked like two to me"!

AS VICTORIA QUICKLY LEFT THE RING, MIRAN ANGRILY KICKED THE RING ROPES.

J.R.: "Victoria has earned the win here tonight and Alex is not happy! Maybe she should be focused on making friends"!

Lawler: "This thing isn't over J.R., look at Alex's expression"!

THE CAMERA GOT A CLOSE UP OF AN UPSET MIRAN BEFORE THE SHOT WENT OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF FIGURES AVAILABLE AT TWF.COM IS SHOWN FEATURING THE 3 LATEST FIGURES SHANE THOMPSON, JORDAN ROCKWELL AND "THE SHOW" JOE COREY, ALL PART OF VARIOUS SETS. THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE....

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS PICK UP WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY FRIENDLY CONVERSATION BETWEEN SHAWN STASIAK AND JACKIE GAYDA, WHO HAS BEEN ABSENT FROM RAMPAGE FOR A FEW WEEKS. STASIAK AND JACKIE SHARE A LAUGH WHEN CHUCK PALUMBO COMES UP IN STREET CLOTHES.

Chuck Palumbo: "Hey man, where were you before my match tonight? You were nowhere to be found".

Shawn Stasiak: "Listen man, I had something important to take care of, it's no big deal".

Palumbo: "No big deal? Maybe to you it's no big deal. You need to get yourself focused man".

PALUMBO WALKS AWAY AS STASIAK LOOKS AT JACKIE AND JUST SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS.

THE SHOT THEN GOES INSIDE THE ARENA AND THERE IS A VERY ATTENTION-GETTING TYPR CEREMONY GOING ON IN THE RING AS MORDECAI IS SURROUNDED BY BURNING CANDLES.

J.R.: "Folks during the break, Mordecai came out here and we have yet to figure out what this is all about"!

Lawler: "No but I'm gettin' freaked out by all this J.R.".

MORDECAI GOES TO 1 KNEE.

Mordecai: "I know that things haven't been going our way of late, but please forgive me. I can feel your presence growing stronger, I know you are around. I just ask for more time, more time to take care of the sinners that plague this company, the sinners that fill all these people watching with their thoughts. More time..... that's what I ask you for tonight. For I will make them all remember my name.... I will make them all....

JUST THEN, SAM WILDE AND NEMESIS COME OUT TO A GOOD POP.

J.R.: "Thank God someone's gonna stop this garbage"!

Sam Wilde: "Mordecai! We will not sit back and listen to this anymore! The lord does not want to listen to your selfish prayers! And if you wanna talk about sinners.... look no further.....

JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A BOLT OF LIGHTNING GOES THROUGH THE ARENA.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh"!

AS THE LIGHTS FLICKER, THE ILLUMINATION OF A MAN WITH BLACK HAIR IN A WHITE GOTHIC SHIRT CAN BE SEEN.

J.R.: "What the..... it can't be"!

JUST THEN, THE OLD MUSIC OF DREW BLOOD HITS AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. MORDECAI, WITH A SADISTIC GRIN, IS HOLDING HIS STAFF AND HE SMASHES BOTH WILDE AND NEMESIS IN THE HEAD WITH IT!

Lawler: "J.R..... listen to the music"!

J.R.: "I hear it"!

ALL OF A SUDDEN, FROM THE BACK COMES DREW BLOOD, WEARING A BLACK ROBE WITH THE SAME LOGO MORDECAI HAS ON HIS.

Lawler: "I do not believe what we are witnessing J.R.".

DREW BLOOD IS CARRYING A GOBLET AND AS HE ENTERS THE RING, MORDECAI GOES BACK TO 1 KNEE AND DREW HANDS HIM THE GOBLET, WHICH HE DRINKS FROM. MORDECAI GETS THE SAME EVIL LOOK ON HIS FACE AS DREW BLOOD RAISES THE GOBLET UP.

J.R.: "I can't believe this either King, the crowd is in awe".

THIS TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SURREAL MOMENTS IN TWF HISTORY. THE 2 MEN SLOWLY WALKED AWAY AS THE CROWD WATCHED IN UTTER SILENCE.

Lawler: "Drew Blood is back and he is here on Rampage... but what does this all mean"?

J.R.: "I don't know and I can't think of too many people who are gonna volunteer to find out but fans up next, in a match made at the top of the broadcast, Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner will go one on one with A-Train".

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR MASTERCARD IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR 1-800-COLLECT FEATURING CARROT TOP.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

J.R.: "We're back on Rampage and these fans are still stunned over what just took place.... take a look".

JUST THEN, THE OLD MUSIC OF DREW BLOOD HITS AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. MORDECAI, WITH A SADISTIC GRIN, IS HOLDING HIS STAFF AND HE SMASHES BOTH WILDE AND NEMESIS IN THE HEAD WITH IT!

Lawler: "J.R..... listen to the music"!

J.R.: "I hear it"!

ALL OF A SUDDEN, FROM THE BACK COMES DREW BLOOD, WEARING A BLACK ROBE WITH THE SAME LOGO MORDECAI HAS ON HIS.

Lawler: "I do not believe what we are witnessing J.R.".

DREW BLOOD IS CARRYING A GOBLET AND AS HE ENTERS THE RING, MORDECAI GOES BACK TO 1 KNEE AND DREW HANDS HIM THE GOBLET, WHICH HE DRINKS FROM. MORDECAI GETS THE SAME EVIL LOOK ON HIS FACE AS DREW BLOOD RAISES THE GOBLET UP.

A LOUD HORN SOUNDS OFF AND SMOKE SPEWS OUT OF EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRYWAY AS A-TRAIN COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Lawler: "Stunned would be a good word J.R., this is a weird situation".

J.R.: "The higher power who Mordecai has consistently referred to has turned out to be Drew Blood and that can't be good news for anyone. But speaking of bad news, here comes the A-Train"!

Lawler: "And all you've gotta do is ask Shawn Michaels what kind of bad news this guy really is"!

"HOLLER IF YA HERE ME" IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A SIREN AND A RED LIGHT FLASHES AROUND THE U.S. BANK ARENA AS SCOTT STEINER COMES OUT WITH THE SAME WOMEN HE WAS WITH EARLIER. HE DOES HIS POSE IN WHICH HE FLEXES HIS BICEP AND TH8IS TIME HE LETS ONE OF THE LADIES KISS IT.

J.R.: "It was last time on Rampage that A-Train was able to defeat Michaels, with help from Christian of course and then at MeltDown, he returned the favor by helping Christian defeat him".

Lawler: "And even though it's easy to look at the eye candy Steiner has with him, Christian had some choice words for him earlier".

J.R.: "Well at least Christian may be telling the truth. He said he forgot his wrestling gear and now he's not out at ring side. That's why it's A-Train and not him in the ring right now".

A-Train vs. Scott Steiner

The bell sounded and the 2 men met in the ring, throwing blows like heavyweight boxers. After knocking A-Train into the corner, Steiner shot him to the far side and followed in with a clothesline. He then tried to pick him up but A-Train headbutted him. A-Train then hit a gutwrench suplex followed by a big elbow drop but barely got a 2 count off a cover. A-Train picked him up and tried for a vertical suplex but Steiner blocked it with his leg and came back with a very impressive suplex of his own. He then picked the big man up but suddenly, A-Train doubled over and went down to 1 knee, as if in serious pain. Referee Jim Korderas forced Steiner to back away while he checked on A-Train when out from the crowd came Christian. He got on the apron and Steiner saw him but Christian smashed him with what appeared to be brass knucks. A-Train then miraculously got up and hit a big 747 splash and hooked the leg to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 2:26

Lawler: "A-Train's got another one"!

J.R.: "Yeah, thanks to Christian! I'd sure like to know what the relationship between those two is"!

A-TRAIN's MUSIC HIT AND HE WALKED UP THE RAMP AFTER HARDLY BREAKING A SWEAT. KORDERAS CHECKED STEINER IN THE RING AND HE WAS HARDLY MOVING, TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS.

Lawler: "Well whatever it is, it's working"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING IN FRONT OF AN UNMARKED DOOR.

Todd Grisham: "Fans, both Drew Blood and Mordecai were seen going into that door just a few moments ago. Now we wanted to get a word with them, but they don't seem to want to talk to us so at this point we're gonna leave before things get ugly".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL LEADS THE NEW RAMPAGE TAG TEAM CHAMPS JAMAL AND ROSEY OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS, BOTH OF WHOM ARE CARRYING THEIR BELTS.

Lawler: "What? He can't leave, what are we paying him to do"?!

J.R.: "Well I think this can be considered a special situation. But right now we are set for a very unique match set up by Stephanie McMahon in which we will have a six man tag to determine one superstar or one team earning a rematch for the title they lost"!

KURT ANGLE's THEME HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. PYRO SHOOTS UP BEHIND HIM ON THE SET AS HE RAISES BOTH FINGERS UP.

Lawler: "Kurt Angle was not even pinned in that triple threat match at MeltDown and I think that not only will he get a rematch, but he'll defeat Undertaker too"!

THE HIP HOP TUNE OF PYRONOMICS, WITH JOHN CENA RAPPING, HITS AND THEY COME OUT ALONG WITH STACY KIEBLER TO ONE HECK OF A CHEER.

J.R.: "Well if not for another appearance by Pyromania's attacker, I don't think Jamal and Rosey would've won either... Cena and Pyro were undefeated"!

Lawler: "Well not anymore and according to Pyromania, that attacker is none other than Val Venis... I think he's becoming paranoid now".

J.R.: "Well how would you react if there was some madman getting into the arenas, disguising his identity, and attacking you at will"?!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT

Lawler: "Uh oh".

J.R.: "Yeah, that's what I thought".

A BELL TOLLS AND THE CROWD GRADUALLY GETS LOUDER AS A FOG FILLS THE AISLE. THE UNDERTAKER APPEARS, WALKING SLOWING TO THE RING AND CARRYING THE TWF WORLD TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF A FOCUSED KURT ANGLE.

Lawler: "Like you said at MeltDown J.R., the day of darkness has arrived".

J.R.: "The Undertaker won that title for an unprecedented seventh time King, that is what heck of an accomplishment".

Lawler: "But this one should have an asterisk next to it because he did not pin Angle".

J.R.: "He pinned Eddie Guerrero who we want to mention on tonight's broadcast. Eddie's family has been through a very hard several days due to all the hurricanes that the United States is seeing. They've lost power and had some very tense moments so we wish Eddie and his family well during this time and we hope to see him back next week".

Lawler: "This thing is ready to explode J.R., who do you think's gonna start it"?!

J.R.: "Senior referee Earl Hebner has been given the duty of maintaining order in this one and it looks like John Cena and Kurt Angle are gonna start the action".

Rematch Clause 6 Man Tag Team Match

The Undertaker and Pyronomics w/ Stacy Kiebler vs. Kurt Angle, Jamal & Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael

Angle and Cena locked up and despite Cena getting control, Angle quickly went down and swept his legs out from under him. Angle then rode him into a side headlock on the mat but Cena got up and swung Angle over his body with a nice takedown. Angle countered with a headscissor but when they both got up, Cena ran him over with a clothesline. He then picked him up and whipped him to the ropes, hitting a big powerslam. Angle went for the pin but Jamal came in to break it up. Cena tagged in his partner Austin Pyromania and he and Angle renewed acquaintances. Pyromania was getting the best of him until running into the clutches of Angle who delivered an overhead belly to belly. Angle made the switch to Rosey and both men put the boots to Pyro until Hebner forced Angle out of the ring. Rosey drove his shoulder into the midsection of Pyromania before whipping him to the far corner. But Pyro avoided the body splash in the corner and made a diving tag to Undertaker. The new World champ came in and booted Rosey in the head before catching Jamal with a thrust punch to the throat when he came in. Taker then whipped Jamal to the corner and hit him with a running clothesline before running to the other corner to do the same to Rosey. He then hit the ropes for a running boot on Jamal. Angle came in and hit Taker in the back from behind but it had little affect on him. Taker stalked Angle who backed away and Jamal and Rosey came from behind with 2 hard clubs to the back. This brought Cena and Pyro into the ring and Hebner was quickly losing control. Outside the ring, Crystal and Stacy became tangled up and Crystal punched her right in the face, knocking her to the floor. Pyromania left the ring to check on his fallen girlfriend but was attacked from behind by Jamal. In the ring, Cena hit the Throwback on Rosey but was thrown out of the ring from behind by Angle. Angle began to celebrate and let out a big "WOOOOO" but when he turned around, the legal man Undertaker slapped a hand around his throat and delivered a thunderous Chokeslam from Hell. Jamal got up on the apron but Taker knocked him to the mat with a running right hand before turning and covering Angle, flipping his hair back and sticking out his tongue as Hebner counted the 1........2.........3.

Match Time: 5:37

Lawler: "Oh no"!

J.R.: "What's the excuse now King? The Undertaker just pinned Kurt Angle with no questions left to be asked and now, Cena and Pyromania have earned a rematch for the tag team titles"!

OUTSIDE THE RING, CENA AND PYROMANIA HELPED STACY UP AND SHE SEEMED TO HAVE A CUT LIP BUT THE FANS WERE NOT UNHAPPY ABOUT MUCH AS UNDERTAKER's MUSIC PLAYED.

Lawler: "This didn't go the way it was supposed to, Angle was supposed to have a rematch"!

J.R.: "Well all Angle has to think about now is the same thing everyone else here on Rampage is thinking and that is, can anyone defeat the deadman"?

THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.
