March 10, 2005
Rampage returned to San Antonio for the first time since September 17, 2003 to a huge welcoming. That night, former TWF star Akasha was revealed to be a male in cheap drag. Would something as shocking happen on this night? Sylvain Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Johnny Jeter Grenier was looking to rebound from his loss at Code Red but Jeter was not gonna making it easy, jumping all over him from the opening bell. After connecting with a missle dropkick, Jeter seemed to have a win in the bag but Hart got up on the apron. Jeter took Hart's megaphone away and pushed him to the floor. But Grenier kicked him in the stomach when he turned around and smashed him across the face the megaphone before rolling it out of the ring. The referee then turned to make the 3 count. Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters vs. Brian Black (invitee) After making an impressive debut just before Code Red, Chris Masters took on a guy looking to make a name for himself. But it wasn't gonna be at Masters' expense. After an Ivan Putski-like running sledge, Masters locked in a swinging full nelson which he is calling the "Masterlock" and Black was done. Mark Jindrak vs. Doug Basham w/ Danny Basham Jindrak wanted to make quick work of Doug Basham, catching him with a big dropkick and a powerslam. But Danny got involved, tying up Jindrak to help his brother. Jindrak shook Danny off but turned right into a leg lariat from Doug who rolled right onto him to score the mild upset. JINDRAK POUNDED THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION AS THE BASHAMS LEFT TO THEIR MUSIC AND A LOT OF BOOS WITH BIG GRINS ON THEIR FACES. THE STAGE CREW RAN OUT TO SET UP THE PYRO FOR RAMPAGE AFTER THE SHOT FADED OUT. LILIAN GARCIA THEN GOT INTO THE RING AND TOLD THE LIVE CROWD THAT IN 30 SECONDS, THEY WOULD BE GOING LIVE ON SPIKE TV, SOMETHING THAT DREW A HUGE RESPONSE.
AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, A SMALL HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE IS SHOWN FROM CODE RED AS A VOICE BEGINS TO SPEAK. Voiceover: "At Code Red, Stacy Kiebler showed her true colors, Joe Corey showed his superiority and the DeadPool showed their invincibility. What will the fallout from this huge event be like? Tonight..... the road to WrestleMania six takes it's final curve". "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS AS THE SHOT TURNS TO THE MONTAGE VIDEO OF RAMPAGE BEFORE THOUSANDS OF SCREAMING TEXANS ARE SHOWN INSIDE THE SBC CENTER AS IT LIGHTS UP IN PYRO AND THE VOICES OF RAMPAGE CHIME IN. Jim Ross: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to TWF Rampage! We are deep in the heart of Texas and we are ready for a wild ride"! Jerry "The King" Lawler: "Ya know what they say J.R., everything is bigger in Texas and that's exactly what Rampage is gonna be tonight.... big"! "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND CARLITO COMES OUT, BLASTED BY BOOS. J.R.: "Tons of action and information to bring to you tonight folks but we're startin' off in the ring with Carlito Cool"! Lawler: "And you better be cool when you're around this guy J.R., I heard he'll literally spit in your face"! J.R.: "Well what he did at Code Red definitely wasn't cool and I stand by the belief that Taylor Made would be the King of Cable right now if not for him"! THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Lawler: "Oh give Joe Corey come credit J.R.! I mean, have we ever seen a finer champion here on Rampage than him"? J.R.: "Well he finds a way to get the job done and retain his title, but it's never been in a fashion that I can respect. But someone I am starting to respect is this man, Rob Storm"! Lawler: "Well he was victorious at Code Red and I hear that both Jimmy Hart and Sylvain Grenier are not taking that loss well". J.R.: "Rob Storm was just the better man on that night and I think he is a guy that can now look to the top, he's got the tools"! Lawler: "Well he's gonna need everyone of them if he wants to get by Carlito here"! Rob Storm vs. Carlito Caribbean Cool The bell sounded and Carlito took a bite of an apple, walked up to Storm and spit it in his face! The enraged Storm and he fired at Carlito with a succession of right hands, forcing Carlito to stick his head through the ring ropes and referee Chad Patton called for a break. But Carlito got in a thumb to the eye to take control. After a backdrop suplex, he taunted the crowd some before going to the apron and hitting a pretty slingshot elbow drop. He made a cover but Storm pushed out at 2. Carlito hit Storm with a couple hammer-like punches to the back of the head before whipping him to the ropes but Storm came off with a cross body block that got him a very near fall. Carlito got up quickly but walked right into an inverted atomic drop followed by a cactus clothesline. After a russian leg sweep, he had Carlito measured for a super kick but Carlito avoided it and turned to throw a clothesline. But Storm was thinking the same thing and they smashed each other at the same time. With both men down, Patton went into a 10 count. He reached 8 before Storm got to his feet. Patton went over to make sure Storm was able to continue and with his back turned, Taylor Made came running out to a big pop. Carlito got up using the ring ropes but Taylor smashed him with a ride hand through the ropes! Storm then positioned himself and rolled up Carlito for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:00 Lawler: "What the hell was that?! Disqualify him ref"! J.R.: "That's called returning the favor King and Carlito damn well deserves it"! TAYLOR MADE WALKED AWAY WITH HIS HANDS THROWN OUT, TALKING SOME TRASH TO CARLITO. Lawler: "Well someone needs to get their facts straight J.R. because it was Taylor Made who started this by giving up what he and Carlito were supposed to have for a woman"! J.R.: "And what exactly does that mean"? Lawler: "When Taylor aligned himself with Carlito, he promised him the finer things in life. Ya know, nice cars, nice clothes but most importantly, a never ending supply of women"! J.R.: "Well something kinda weird must've happened..... Taylor grew up" A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAMPAGE LOGO COMES UP SHOWING BRADSHAW ON ONE SIDE AND HIGH OCTANE ON THE OTHER. We told you it was a big show tonight fans and this proves it! Tonight, Bradshaw goes one on one with Damion West.... don't go away"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR MARCH MADNESS... THE NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... THE MOMENT RAMPAGE RETURNS, "SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO A HUGE OVATION. HOWEVER, IT's CLEAR THAT HE's NOT HIS USUAL SELF. J.R.: "Back on Rampage and here comes the one, the only Heartbreak Kid"! Jerry Lawler: "I tried to talk to Shawn Michaels earlier J.R. but he is not in the talkin' mood"! J.R.: "Well I think we both know why too". Shawn Michaels: "I gotta tell you guys, there's nothin' worse than comin' home and being in a mood like I am right now! There's no doubt it feels good to be in San Antonio, my home, but guys, I've been doin' this for a long time and I've seen a lot of things. But I don't think I've ever seen a more cowardice attack than the one that happened at Code Red! So since Garrison still has a major headache and can't be here tonight, I'm gonna do the honors! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. So, I'm giving you a chance. Whoever is responsible for attacking Garrison at Code Red, be a man, have some guts... and get out here now"! J.R.: "Wow, it doesn't get any more cut and dry than that"! Lawler: "Michaels might be joining Cade on the shelf if he doesn't watch it"! JUST THEN, "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK HIT AND JOE COREY CAME OUT WITH CHRIS MASTERS AT HIS SIDE, HOLDING THE KING OF CABLE TITLE BELT IN THE AIR. THE CROWD WAS ALL OVER HIM WITH BOOS. J.R.: "What the..... Joe Corey's in on this"? Joe Corey: "That's right Shawn, wipe the stunned look off your face. This shouldn't come as any surprise. Ya see, I've been looking for a way to get your attention for a long time now and I figured my long list of successful title defenses would do just that. But I saw a better oppurtunity, and I took it. But before you open your mouth and ask why Shawn, I'm just gonna tell you. WrestleMania is less than three weeks away! I'm tired of the competiton that has been put in front of me. Taylor Made, Sam Wilde, Nemesis, the list goes on and on. So I figured I'd step it up a notch and take out someone else. Someone who defeating will solidify my place as the top superstar in this business today! That superstar...... is you Shawn"! J.R.: "What"? Corey: "That's right. I am challenging you to a one on one match, for the King of Cable title..... at WrestleMania six". Lawler: "Oh my gosh". Michaels: "Well, ya know, no one likes to put on a show at WrestleMania more than the Showstopper himself. But truth be told, I feel like fightin' tonight and I don't think I can wait that long! So why don't you come down here right now and try to solidify your place"?! MICHAELS THROWS HIS MIC DOWN AND TAKES HIS SHIRT OFF AS COREY HEADS DOWN TO THE RING. J.R.: "Oh we're gonna see it right now"! COREY SLID INTO THE RING BUT MICHAELS WAS ALL OVER HIM WITH FISTS OF FURY AND A BIG BACK ELBOW. BUT MASTERS CAME INTO THE RING AND DRILLED HBK WITH A CLOTHESLINE. THAT ALLOWED COREY TO RECOVER AND PUT THE BOOTS TO MICHAELS. FINALLY, THEY WHIPPED HIM TO THE ROPES AND DELIVERED A DOUBLE SPINEBUSTER, OPENING THE FLOODGATES OF BOOS FROM THE CROWD. Lawler: "How's that for a homecoming"?! COREY GRABBED HIS TITLE AND LEFT WITH MASTERS AS MICHAELS WAS DOWN ON THE MAT. J.R.: "I don't know who the hell Joe Corey thinks he is, but in a roundabout way, I think he'll get that match at WrestleMania"! Lawler: "Michaels might wanna think twice about it though J.R. or he might walk into a bear trap like he just did"! THE SHOT OPENS ON THE SET OF "THE APPRENTICE" AND DONALD TRUMP ENTERS THE ROOM AND SLAPS A FILE FOLDER ONTO A TABLE, PULLING UP A CHAIR. Donald Trump: "I'm afraid I have some unsettling news. It seems that WrestleMania is coming up and I'm afraid you don't realize what kind of oppurtunity you have. This is the event where heroes are made..... where legends are born. Failure is not an option. Is this something you comprehend"? THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO SHOW JOHN CENA. John Cena: "Very well sir, failure is not in my vocabulary". Trump: "Very well then, because if you were to fail..... you might hear the words you're....... JUST THEN, THE DOOR TO THE ROOM OPENS AND VINCE McMAHON, TWF OWNER ENTERS. Vince McMahon: "Don't say it Donald.... we all know that's my catchphrase". TRUMP STANDS UP TO VINCE. Trump: "Is that so"? JOHN CENA GETS UP. Cena: "Guys! Ya'll ain't gonna scrap over a catchphrase! Now both of you get the hell out my office"! McMAHON AND TRUMP QUICKLY EXIT THE ROOM AND SHUT THE DOOR. ON THE OTHER SIDE IS JOHN CENA's NAME INSIDE A GOLD STAR. McMahon: "Jerk". Trump: "I agree, some guys, all they care about is their success". Audio voiceover: "TWF WrestleMania six..... The Gold Standard! Anything less, it's probably a different show"! BACK TO THE ACTION, TEDDY LONG AND MATT MORGAN ARE IN THE RING WITH THE MUSIC OF UNDER A BROTHA SERVICES' PLAYING. Lawler: "I love that commercial for WrestleMania J.R., that's great"! J.R.: "WrestleMania six shaping up to be the biggest one yet but speaking of big, take a look at Mount Morgan". Teddy Long: "Lemme holla at ya playas! It's that time again for another open challenge! So if there's anybody in the back stupid enough to come out and get beat down, here's your chance! Who's the unfortunate soul this week"?! Lawler: "There can't be anybody still willing to accept these is there"? JUST THEN, "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT IN A TEXAS LONGHORNS LETTER JACKET TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Now here's a guy that could give Morgan problems! Matt Cruz is off to a great start in his TWF career and he's stepped up to the plate tonight"! Lawler: "But I can gaurantee that he has never faced a guy like Matt Morgan in the NCAA or anywhere else"! Open Challenge Matt Morgan w/ Teddy Long vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz Morgan threw a swing before the bell even rang but the cat-like reflexes of Cruz allowed him to move into a go behind and take Morgan over with an impressive german suplex. He then moved to a front facelock on Morgan and had the big man grounded but Long got on the apron. Cruz got up and bumped into Long, knocking him to the floor but Morgan came from behind with a low blow, prompting referee Jim Korderas to throw the match out. J.R.: "Oh come on! That was a blatant disregard for winning a match"! Lawler: "But look J.R., this is gonna get ugly"! MORGAN WENT OUT AND REMOVED THE STEEL RING STEPS. WHEN CRUZ GOT UP, HE SMASHED HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH THE STEPS. A SMALL CUT OPENED ON THE FOREHEAD OF CRUZ AND LONG TOLD MORGAN TO DO SOME MORE. SO MORGAN PICKED HIM UP AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE SIT DOWN POWERBOMB HE NOW CALLS THE "AVALANCHE". CRUZ WAS DOWN AND MOTIONLESS IN THE RING AS LONG AND MORGAN LEFT TO SOME TREMENDOUS HEAT. Lawler: "It's a bad night for the state of Texas J.R."! J.R.: "Well I've never been a big fan of the Longhorns but no one deserves to be treated like that! Morgan knew he was in trouble and had to resort to an attack like that"! Lawler: "But as each week passes here on Rampage J.R., this guy gets more and more dangerous if you ask me"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "BE COOL" STARRING JOHN TRAVOLTA AND THE ROCK IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR THE LATEST SET OF TWF FIGURES "RING WARRIORS", TO BE RELEASED SOON! RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... THE FANS CHEER AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE. HE WALKS UP TO JOHN CENA AND THE TWO SHAKE HANDS. Travis Wakeman: "How ya doin' man"? John Cena: "Fine bro, you? I know you dealin' with the supernatural these days". Wakeman: "Yeah well tonight, I'm gonna prove I ain't scared of The Undertaker. But how 'bout you? Who you gonna face at WrestleMania"? Cena: "Ah you'll find out soon enough man. But when I reveal that, I gotta be out there with the gang, ya know"? Wakeman: "Alright man, later". WAKEMAN WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT KICKS BACK TO RINGSIDE. "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL LEADS OUT THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS JAMAL AND ROSEY. J.R.: "What a night it's been here already in San Antonio King and we're only about halfway done". Lawler: "Oh my goodness, take a look at Crystal"! J.R.: "Well looks aside, Crystal's boys Jamal and Rosey have signed on to face Strife and Bahamut from PrimeTime in an ultimate tag team matchup"! SAM WILDE COMES OUT TO HIS SONG BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS' CHOIR TO A MILD REACTION. HE HAS WITH HIM AS ALWAYS, HIS BIBLE. Lawler: "Oh I can't wait for that match J.R., it's gonna be huge"! J.R.: "Officials are already talking about a reinforced ring and I really feel for Sam Wilde here. He's gonna have to rely on his beliefs to win this one I think". Lawler: "Those beliefs might not be able to overcome four hundred pounds though"! Jamal w/ Rosey and Crystal Carmichael vs. Sam Wilde Sam Wilde did well to combat the massive Jamal, avoiding his reach and attacking his legs. He dropped Jamal to one knee by dropkicking his other and then hit the ropes, drilling him with a clothesline. But all it did was rock Jamal back so Wulde mustered up all his strength and went for a bodyslam but he couldn't get him up. The weight put a lot of strain on the back of Wilde and he grabbed it. But Jamal hit him with a thrust chop to the throat before putting him down with a throw up Samoan drop to get the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 13:43 J.R.: "A valiant effort by Wilde here but Jamal was just too much and now what the hell is this"?! CRYSTAL GOT INTO THE RING WITH ROSEY AND TOLD THEM TO DO MORE DAMAGE. BUT BEFORE THEY COULD, NEMESIS CAME OUT AND SMASHED JAMAL WITH A CLOTHESLINE. ROSEY AND CRYSTAL GOT OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE DID MORE. Lawler: "What the hell is he doing out here J.R."?! JAMAL AND ROSEY RETREATED WITH CRYSTAL AS NEMESIS LOOKED ON, PEERING THROUGH HIS FACEPAINT. J.R.: "Well thank god he is! A lot of people have questioned Nemesis' allegiance to Sam Wilde in the past but I think they can quit beating that dead horse"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS CATCH AN ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS SHAWN MICHAELS COME UP TO TODD GRISHAM. Shawn Michaels: "Todd.... get over here Todd! GRISHAM PUTS HIS MICROPHONE UP TO MICHAELS. I'm gonna find myself a tag team partner because next week...... I want Corey and that muscle bound piece of trash Masters in the ring"! MICHAELS STORMS OFF. Todd Grisham: "Uh, back to you at ringside J.R.". SHANE HELMS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS. THERE ARE STILL A FEW YOUNG FANS SHOWN IN HURRICANE MASKS. J.R.: "I gotta say I don't blame HBK a bit and no matter who his partner is, I can't wait to see him get his hands on Joe Corey". Lawler: "Why don't these people wake up and realize The Hurricane no longer exists J.R."?! "VIVA LA RAZA" IS HEARD AND EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A MONSTROUS POP INSIDE A CUSTOM LOWRIDER. J.R.: "Maybe they wanna think of Shane Helms in a good light, rather then the true jerk he's become"! Lawler: "And what makes him a jerk? The fact that he didn't want to wear a stupid superhero costume anymore"? J.R.: "He turned his back on his fans, that's what. But the fans have people like Eddie Guerrero to cheer for and in my book, that's a hell of a lot better"! Lawler: "Well they're not gonna have anything to cheer about if he loses this match"! Eddie Guerrero vs. Shane Helms Helms came right at Eddie and threw a kick but Eddie was waiting for him, grabbing his leg and tripping him up. But Helms came back with a back footsweep. He then pulled Guerrero up and shot him to the cornerm, kicking him in the midsection before hitting the ropes for a flipping neckbreaker drop. He went into the cover but Eddie was up at 2. Helms hit Eddie with a couple right hands but Latino Heat was feeling the adrenaline. Helms threw a kick but Eddie caught it, only to have Helms go for an enziguri. But Eddie ducked that and held his leg, locking in the Lasso from El Paso. Helms was in the center of the ring and he fought the pain as much as he could but eventually had to tap out. Match Time: 2:26 J.R.: "Boy that Lasso from El Paso will get ya, what a submission manuever"! Lawler: "Oh look at this"! EDDIE's MUSIC AND CELEBRATION WERE ABRUPTLY HALTED WHEN AUSTIN PYROMANIA HIT THE RING WITH STACY KIEBLER WHO WAS WEARING A TIGHT MINI-SKIRT, KNEE HIGH LEATHER BOOTS AND A LEATHER BIKINI TOP. PYROMANIA HIT EDDIE FROM BEHIND AND AFTER A BRUTAL ATTACK, DELIVERED THE "PYROTECHNICS". J.R.: "What the hell is the meaning of this"! STACY WENT AND RIPPED LILIAN GARCIA's MIC AWAY, GIVING IT TO PYROMANIA. Austin Pyromania: "This is what happens to people who stick their nose in my business! You and I have issues to settle Eddie..... and they will be settled"! WITH THE PYROMANIA KICKS EDDIE IN HIS EXPOSED RIB CAGE BEFORE LEAVING TO THE LOUDEST BOOS ALL NIGHT WITH STACY. J.R.: "My God.... what has gotten into these two?! I don't wanna accept this"! Lawler: "Pyromania has lost it J.R.! Eddie is hurt"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CASTROL GTX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR IBM. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... WITH TAPE OF THEIR LOSS AT CODE RED PLAYING, KURT ANGLE IS IN A DRESSING ROOM WITH KARAM IBRAHIM. Kurt Angle: "See....did you see that Karam? That's what you call a missed oppurtunity. You hit that move, Nemesis never pins you in that match! So next time, go ahead and..... IBRAHIM GETS UP IN ANGLE's FACE. What the hell do you think you're doing"? Karam Ibrahim: "Save your lesson Kurt, I don't wanna hear it". Angle: "You don't wanna hear it? Are you saying that you want to be a loser your entire TWF career? WITH 2 HANDS, IBRAHIM SHOVES ANGLE ACROSS THE ROOM AND WALKS OUT WITHOUT SAYING ANOTHER WORD. Big mistake.....big mistake"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, "IF I COULD BE LIKE MACK" IS PLAYING AND RODNEY MACK IS IN THE RING WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. J.R.: "Good for you Karam! I've been waiting months for him to do that"! Lawler: "Can you believe that idiot?! He just threw everything away"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE FANS ARE IN ANTICIPATION OF WHAT's NEXT. THE TOLL OF A BELL IS HEARD AND THEN AGAIN BEFORE THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC IS HEARD AND HE SLOWLY WALKS DOWN THE AISLE TO AN AWESTRUCK REACTION. J.R.: "Michael Jordan was as legendary as any athlete we've ever known King but I don't know if even he was as superior in his sport as The Undertaker is"! Lawler: "Well we all know that Rodney Mack is the Michael Jordan of wrestling so we'll see that theory sort of put to the test here"! J.R.: "Rodney Mack was unsuccessful against Travis Wakeman at Code Red and now he's gonna battle the deadman who coincidentally will face Wakeman in a Buried Alive match at WrestleMania six"! Rodney Mack w/ Crystal Carmichael vs. The Undertaker The bell sounded and Mack sure didn't back down from The Undertaker, coming right at him with a boxing style. But Taker absorbed his shots to the body and smashed him with 2 soup bone right hands. He then whipped him to the corner and followed in but Mack was waiting with a back elbow followed by a football tackle. He pulled Taker up and shouted "Who's the man"? into the crowd which prompted them to loudly boo. But off an irish whip, Taker ducked a clothesline and came off the other side, catching Mack with a flying clothesline that put his true ability on display. After his trademark throat slash gesture, Taker hoisted Mack up onto his shoulders and moved him into position, dumping him with the Tombstone and crossing his arms to get the victory. Match Time: 2:59 J.R.: "And The Undertaker has just made very quick work of Jordan, I mean Rodney Mack, he's no Jordan if you ask me". Lawler: "That could be the same fate Travis Wakeman meets, except buried under a ton of dirt"! J.R.: "Well speaking of Wakeman, look at this"! WITH THE UNDERTAKER's BACK TURNED, WAKEMAN CAME OUT AND DOVE INTO THE RING AND LOOKED READY TO TAKE A SHOT. BUT THE UNDERTAKER TURNED WITH A GRIM LOOK IN HIS EYES AND WAKEMAN DROPPED HIS ATTACK, DUCKING OUT OF THE RING. Lawler: "That was your chance Wakeman.... you dummy"! THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC HIT AND WAKEMAN WALKED BACKWARDS UP THE RAMP TO SEE TAKER DO THE THROAT SLASH GESTURE TO HIM. J.R.: "Wakeman thought better of the sneak attack and I think it's good he did, that's not his style". Lawler: "No, I think all it did was prove what some have thought all along! He's scared J.R."! J.R.: "Well that remains to be seen come WrestleMania"! PRIMETIME REPLAY SHOWS SHANE THOMPSON ISSUING A WRESTLEMANIA CHALLENGE TO DYLAN JANSENS FOR THE UNIVERSAL TITLE FOLLOWED BY DJ's ACCEPTANCE. "BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AND THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY NUTS AS JOHN CENA COMES OUT WEARING A SAN ANTONIO SPURS TIM DUNCAN JERSEY. J.R.: "You just saw how the PrimeTime division's main event for WrestleMania was made....now comes the announcement we've all been waiting for"! Lawler: "I honestly think Cena is gonna go to PrimeTime J.R., he's been warned"! John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! THE FANS CHEER BUT THEY ARE QUICKLY QUIETED BY THE MUSIC OF THE DEADPOOL. DREW BLOOD COMES OUT WITH BOTH MORDECAI AND VISCERA. Drew Blood: "Cena...you have been told to leave. There is a contract with your name on it that will allow you to not only wrestle for the Universal title at WrestleMania, but to make a lot of money on PrimeTime. What are you doing here"? Cena: "What am I doing here? Last time I checked, I was a Rampage superstar! And last time I checked, I won the 2005 Royal Rumble, allowing me to choose the title I wanted to fight for at WrestleMania! And I choose you"! J.R.: "There it is! He has chosen to...... Blood: "I warn you Cena, you don't want to do that. Not only your career, but your livelihood will be at stake if you make that choice. I will hold nothing back and I will make you suffer the consequences! Do you have a change of heart"? Cena: "Let me put it to you one more time Bram Stoker, I don't care if you have those two freaks of the Lochness monster backing you up..... I will be at WrestleMania to face you for the World title and I'm gonna take that preverbial stake and drive it straight through your damn heart"! "BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AGAIN AND CENA THROWS UP THE DOUBLE HORNS TO A HUGE CHEER. DREW BLOOD JUST GIVES HIM AN EVIL LOOK AND MORDECAI HOLDS HIS STAFF OUT, POINTING IT AT CENA. Lawler: "Well he made the choice J.R. and if you ask me, John Cena just signed his career death certificate"! J.R.: "Forget about the threats, to hell with the warnings, John Cena is gonna walk through hell to fight for the World title at WrestleMania and I repsect the hell out of him for it"! THE SHOT FADES OUT AS RAMPAGE GOES TO BREAK. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE TWF HALL OF FAME, HIGHLIGHTING THE CAREER OF ONE OF THIS YEAR's INDUCTEES....MICK FOLEY. RETURN FROM BREAK...... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, RANDY ORTON IS SHOWN IN THE CROWD SHOWING A TICKET TO A MEMBER OF SECURITY BEFORE GRABBING A SEAT IN THE FRONT ROW. Lawler: "What the heck is he doing here"?! J.R.: "Randy Orton of PrimeTime has apparently bought a ticket to the show and is sitting in the front row"! BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A WHITE TOWEL AROUND HIS NECK. HE IS LOUDLY BOOED. Lawler: "I still can't believe what we just saw with Cena ad Drew Blood and now we got Randy Orton here"? J.R.: "Well we know Orton has agreed to face High Octane, Bradshaw's opponent tonight, in a match at WrestleMania, maybe he just wants to do a little scouting out here". AN ENGINE LOUDLY REVS UP AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYS, BRINGING HIGH OCTANE OUT TO A MAJOR POP. Lawler: "Well I'd say he's more than likely here to cause trouble but if he's got a ticket, he's got the right to sit there"! J.R.: "Bradshaw and High Octane have some history together and this is a big match for both men. Bradshaw could send Octane into that WrestleMania match on a down note". Bradshaw vs. "High Octane" Damion West High Octane tried a strike and move attack set but the skilled Bradshaw caught up to him and began pounding his much smaller frame with overhand smash after overhand smash. He then sent him to the ropes and lifted him towards the lights with a backdrop suplex. Bradshaw was cruising, dropping a big elbow across West's chest. But he was way off with the "Clothesline from Hell" and Octane came back with a flying back elbow. He stayed on Bradshaw with some sharp kicks to the body. Bradshaw reversed an irish whip and went for another backdrop but Octane landed on his feet and hit the ropes, going for a flying forearm. But when Bradshaw ducked, he took out referee Earl Hebner. Bradshaw then clubbed him from behind and went and got a steel chair, the one the timekeeper was seated in. Bradshaw brought the chair into the ring and smacked the mat with it as Octane began to get up. But Orton hopped over the guard rail and onto the apron, grabbing the chair from over Bradshaw's head. Bradshaw turned and took an errant swipe at Orton but when he turned back, Octane caught him with the "Head on Collision" and covered him for the big 3 count. Match Time: 7:19 J.R.: "He got him! Bradshaw has just come face to face with a head on collision and lost"! Lawler: "But look at High Octane, he doesn't seem real pleased about it"! AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" BLARED, ORTON STOOD OUTSIDE THE RING WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE BUT WEST WAS CLEARLY NOT HAPPY. J.R.: "I see that King. Did Orton have good intentions or not"?! OFF AIR.........
