Bi-Lo Center

Greenville, South Carolina

Attendance: 9, 453

AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, A CLIP FROM LAST WEEK OF JOHN CENA CONFIRMING HE WILL STAY ON RAMPAGE TO CHALLENGE DREW BLOOD FOR THE WORLD TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA IS SHOWN. THE IMAGE OF BLOOD THEN DRIPS DOWN AND COVERS CENA's FACE ON THE SCREEN AS IT GOES INTO RAMPAGE's OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO WHILE "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS.

THE BI-LO CENTER COMES INTO THE SHOT BUT RATHER THAN THE THOUSANDS OF FANS WE USUALLY SEE SCREAMING TO START A SHOW, TONIGHT IT's BOOS BECAUSE KURT ANGLE IS ALREADY IN THE RING.

Kurt Angle: "Now I know all of you out there saw the horrific actions by Karam Ibrahim against me last week. This is a guy who I've tried to take under my wing, tried to teach everything that I know, in order for him to be the next Kurt Angle. But what has he done? He's bit the hand that feeds him! Well I'm not having it anymore, play time is over Karam! So if you got the guts, why don't you come out here right now and see what a real Olympic champion is made of"!

Jim Ross: "Thank you for joining us tonight live on Rampage folks as we are getting off to a torrid start with that challenge"!

AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, KARAM IBRAHIM's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT, LOOKING ANGLE DEAD IN THE EYE.

Jerry Lawler: "And here he comes J.R., oh I can gaurantee that this is a mistake"!

J.R.: "For months, Kurt Angle has been trying to boss this kid around, trying to show him his way! Last week, Karam had had enough! Oh wait a minute, look out"!

JUST THEN, IBRAHIM WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY HIS OPPONENT FOR THE NIGHT, A-TRAIN. ANGLE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THE POUNDING A-TRAIN GAVE HIM OUTSIDE THE RING AND TOOK A POSITION IN THE CORNER, WATCHING.

Lawler: "I don't think this one's even gonna become official J.R.! Ibrahim has been destroyed"!

Karam Ibrahim vs. A-Train

After whipping Ibrahim into the steel ring steps and ramming him back first into one of the ringposts, A-Train finally rolled Karam into the ring. After an avalanche in the corner, referee Jose Mendez asked Karam if he wanted to give it up and he clearly said no. A-Train laid into him some more with some clubbing forearms and Karam did his best just to cover up. But the match took a turn when Ibrahim reversed an irish whip into a drop toe hold before grabbing A-Train in a front facelock. A-Train tried to lift him up but Ibrahim held the hold and brought him down into the mat with a DDT. Ibrahim had been given new life and he was full of energy. After 2 running clotheslines, he grabbed A-Train for a belly to belly suplex but A-Train's thick frame was too much to pick up and A-Train countered with a headbutt. He then picked him up for a vertical suplex but Ibrahim slung over his shoulders and hit a release german suplex, dropping A-Train right on his head. Ibrahim then pointed right at Angle who still looked unimpressed before lifting A-Train up and dropping him with the "Egyptian Gold" for the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 6:37

J.R.: "Oh my gosh, he got A-Train up for that! Angle's gotta be impressed with that"!

Lawler: "No what's he think he's doing"?!

IBRAHIM CUT HIS OWN CELEBRATION SHORT AND MADE A QUICK MOVE OUT OF THE RING IN PURSUIT OF ANGLE. BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING, 6 UNIFORMED GREENVILLE POLICE OFFICERS CAME OUT AND ANGLE WALKED BACK, STARING AT IBRAHIM.

J.R.: "Ya see that! That's what our so called Olympic champion is about! He's hired protection"!

Lawler: "He has no reason to fight this guy J.R., he has nothing to prove to him! And what do you mean so called"?

J.R.: "All I know is there will be a time and a place for these two to square off and I wanna be there when they do"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP SHOWING SHAWN MICHAELS NEXT TO A SHADOW WITH A QUESTION MARK INSIDE OF IT ON ONE SIDE AND BOTH JOE COREY AND CHRIS MASTERS ON THE OTHER AS "ACROSS THE NATION" FAINTLY KICKS UP IN THE BACKGROUND.

Lawler: "Well not to fear J.R., cause we will be here for this one tonight".

J.R.: "Well that's if Corey and Masters decide they want to take the challenge! But if they do, you gotta wonder who HBK's partner is".

A PROGRAMMING AD FOR "THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR VONAGE.COM.

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

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING WITH MATT CRUZ OUTSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM.

Todd Grisham: "Matt Cruz, how are you feeling after that vicious assault last week by Matt Morgan"?

Matt Cruz(looking dumbfounded): "How am I feeling? You're even stupider than you look, Pettingill! I'm not going to sit here and whine and bitch about being beat down. It's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. But hell if I'm going to let that jacked up, punk bitch keep me down. You don't impress me Morgan. You had to punch me in the cojones to get the drop on me. All you managed to do was piss me off. When you're lying in the street, in a pool of your own blood, wondering if you're going to live or die, that's scary. A few stitches in the melon doesn't phase me in the least bit. Now, if Captain Forehead has a pair, he'll meet me one on one for a match at WrestleMania and I'll make him tap like the pansy that he is. As far as Teddy Long goes, it's nice to see that one of the kids from Fame finally has another job. I ain't hard to find, "playa". Give me an answer, or this Texican will have to break off a switch, 'cause there'll be a whuppin!"

CRUZ LOOKS UP AT GRISHAM WITH AN INTENSE LOOK IN HIS EYES.

BACKSTAGE AT THE BI-LO CENTER

AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN CARLITO COOL COMES UP.

Carlito: "Psst..... yo Pyro".

PYROMANIA TURNS AROUND.

Austin Pyromania: "Can I help you"?

Carlito: "Yeah, yeah you can. See, you face Taylor Made tonight and me and him, we don't see eye to eye. I also saw what you did last week to Latino Heat and I must say... nice work. But you know Eddie Guerrero, he's gonna come back for revenge. So what I have in mind is this. You face Taylor tonight and when Eddie comes out, cause we know he will, I'll be there to help you out. That way, you help take care of my problem and uh.... (takes a bite of an apple) I'll help take care of yours.

JUST THEN, STACY KIEBLER COMES UP IN SHORT LEATHER SHORTS AND HIGH HEELS.

Now that..... that's cool".

Pyromania: "You got a deal".

CARLITO TAKES ANOTHER BITE OF HIS APPLE AND WALKS AWAY SMILING AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE BROADCAST POSITION.

J.R.: "Well I don't like the looks of this for either Eddie Guerrero or Taylor Made. But folks, the challenge is on the table for a tag team match tonight. However, at WrestleMania six, Shawn Michaels and Joe Corey will go one on one for the King of Cable title. I had the chance to sit down and interview our King of Cable.... take a look".

PRE-RECORDED INTERVIEW...........

J.R. is shown sitting in a locker room backstage with the TWF King of Cable, “The Show” Joe Corey, who is wearing a gray suit and has his title belt resting on his lap.

J.R.: "Hello folks, this is good ol’ J.R. here, and I am joined by a man who is currently enjoying the longest King of Cable title reign in TWF history. That man is my guest at this time, “The Show” Joe Corey. Joe, thank you for joining me".

Joe Corey: "It’s no problem J.R., I’ve been looking forward to this all day".

J.R.: "Well, that’s good to hear. With that said, why don’t we get right into this. Eighteen months ago, you came to the TWF, and you instantly made an impact when you targeted former World Champion, Val Venis. Why did you enter the TWF the way you did"?

Corey: "You make it seem like I had an agenda J.R. Well, I did, you have to if you want to be a success in this business. I didn’t come here to just be another wrestler. I came here to be THE wrestler. And what better way to do that than to focus on someone who was, at one time, the best in the business"?

J.R.: "That’s a good point. From there, you had a working relationship with Triple H, but that ended when your relationship with Austin Pyromania began. That also quickly came to an end. Do you feel those were just failed partnerships, or was the fault on your end"?

Corey: "Well, I figured if I was going to have a mentor, I wanted the best, and that was Triple H. I did my best to get on his good side, but then I decided I was better off alone. My relationship with Austin was completely genuine. I have wrestled all around the world since I was sixteen, but for the last couple years before I came here, I kept hearing about Austin Pyromania. And once I came to TWF, I saw that everything I heard was true. It killed me to see him underachieving too, because I felt he deserved more. That’s why I pushed him towards the King of Cable. However, the closer we came to Code Red last year, the more I realized that I was just as deserving of the title as he was".

J.R.: "And you proved that last May when you defeated John Cena for the King of Cable. With the exception of one month, you have held that title from that night on. In that span, you have held off all challengers, with the exception of Shelton Benjamin".

Corey: "J.R., I proved that loss was a rarity. I pinned Shelton Benjamin in a tag match the following week, and then again at Meltdown to regain my title. I have more than proven I am the better man".

J.R.: "I guess you have a point. Moving on, from there you had problems with Carney and Nemesis. Your feud with Carney did a lot to bring some attention to SMW, the development federation for TWF which you run. What made you shift your focus onto him"?

Corey: "I focused on Carney because I heard that he was focused on proving that he belonged on Rampage, and that he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. I knew that if I was able to take him down, than I would be remembered as the man who took down one of the most popular stars in TWF history. Once I got him to agree to go to SMW if I beat him, I knew I had control over him. From there, I realized that I had no need for him at all, and I fired him. Now, you asked about Nemesis. The same general thing is true. Nemesis is a legend, and by defeating him, my stock is only that much higher".

J.R.: "Well, we are now only weeks away from WrestleMania six. But before that, we had Code Red, where you were seen talking to members of the Deadpool before the match. Is there any relationship there"?

Corey: "I came to the Deadpool because we had a common purpose. They had a match against Shawn Michaels, Mark Jindrak, and Garrison Cade, a match I had a vested interest in. So I decided to offer them my services".

J.R.: "What do you mean you offered them your services"?

Corey: "I offered to give Drew Blood an advantage in his match, because I knew it would serve me in my quest for WrestleMania".

J.R.: "Okay, I see where this is going. So I'm not gonna beat around the bust anymore. Tell us why you decided to target someone like Shawn Michaels in the manner that you did".

Corey: "How 'bout I just address him myself J.R.? Hey Shawn, are you starting to feel the pressure? Are you starting to realize that with each passing day, you are getting closer and closer to stepping in the ring with me? There is no one who has been able to stop me on Rampage, and I do not intend to let you be the one to do it. WrestleMania is not about you. It is not about all of the fans or anyone else who is in that locker room, or the Primetime locker room for that matter. WrestleMania six is about one person, and that person is me. I am going to the Metrodome to do one thing, and one thing only. That is to take you down and take your spot Shawn. I am going to take your legacy, which is one of the greatest in the world, and I am going to shove it down your throat. Now don't get me wrong Shawn, I have a lot of respect for you, probably more than anyone else for that matter. Why do you think I chose you for this match? My entire life, I have been the world's biggest Shawn Michaels fan. I hit my head on the ceiling the night you beat Bret Hart in the Iron Man match. I cried the night Sid used Jose Lothario to win the WWF title from you. Hell, if you go back to the King of the Ring 1997 from Providence, you will see a thirteen year old kid in a zebra-topped hat and red heart-shaped sunglasses screaming at Bret Hart from the front row. THAT KID WAS ME SHAWN!!! I have spent the majority of my life idolizing you, and that is why I want to be the one who ends that legacy. I am so fascinated with what you have done in your career that I want my name permanently attached to it. My name is the one that is going to be at the end, signaling the end of an era. So Shawn, come to WrestleMania and be ready for the fight of your life, because I am bringing mine. You call yourself the Showstopper Shawn? Well, remember one thing...THIS SHOW CAN'T BE STOPPED!!

J.R.: "Well Joe, I would like to thank you for your time. And now…

Corey: "Dammit J.R., you are not going to wrap me up! I have waited over a year for you to finally give me a forum like this, and you are not going to take it from me. If I have proven anything since I got here, it is that one way or another, I get my way. I want the world to finally accept me as the legend that I am. I don’t care if they like me, but they will respect me. And to prove that, I need to take one of their heroes, someone who is a legend themself, and that person is Shawn Michaels, if no one else. I am going to prove to him and the world that I belong in the annals of time! They say that WrestleMania is the grandest stage in the world, where men become immortals. Well, come March 30th in the Metrodome, I am taking my first step towards immortality. I don’t care if I have to put this belt on the line, so be it. If I have to climb a ladder, bring it on. If I need to enter the Hell in a Cell, I’m not afraid of pain. And if I need to go into an Iron Man match, I am in the greatest shape of my life. Shawn likes to talk about how he made all of these matches famous by being the first in them. Well, I too am going to record to wrestling first! Being the man that killed the mystique of the Heartbreak Kid"!

THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2 PAC BLASTED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS AUSTIN PYROMANIA CAME OUT ALONG WITH STACY KIEBLER TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage fans and we are ready for......

Lawler: "Look out J.R., there's Guerrero"!

EDDIE GUERRERO CAME UP FROM BEHIND PYROMANIA BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO MUCH DAMAGE, CARLITO CAME OUT AND HE AND PYRO WERE ALL OVER LATINO HEAT. THEY TOSSED HIM INTO THE RING AND BOTH MEN FOLLOWED HIM IN. THEY PULLED HIM UP AND AS CARLITO HELD EDDIE's ARMS BACK, PYRO TOOK SOME FREE SWINGS AT HIM. BUT TAYLOR MADE RAN OUT AND CLOTHESLINED PYROMANIA FROM BEHIND. CARLITO DUCKED OUT OF THE RING BEFORE TAYLOR COULD GET IN A SHOT ON HIM AND PYRO ROLLED OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

"LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HIT AND TAYLOR HELPED EDDIE UP TO A BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "Well thank God for Taylor Made here, who knows how much damage would've been done to Eddie"!

Lawler: "Pyromania and Carlito were gonna beat the heck out of him J.R., Eddie Guerrero should be thanking his lucky stars"!

J.R.: "A lot of problems against between these men and I for one wanna see them resolved man to man"!

BACKSTAGE.... STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE.....

STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SHOWN TALKING TO A MEMBER OF ARENA SECURITY.

Stephanie McMahon: "What the hell do you mean? He's not allowed anywhere near this building..... see to it that you get him out of here"!

Security Guard: "Yes ma'am".

AS THE SECURITY GUARD LEAVES, TRAVIS WAKEMAN BARGES IN.

Steph: "Ah, Mr. Wakeman".

Travis Wakeman: "Don't ah Mr. Wakeman me Steph, what the hell are you putting me in a tag team match with The Undertaker for"?!

Steph: "Well, you say you're not afraid of him right? Now's your chance to prove it. Unless you.......

Wakeman: "Don't even say it".

WAKEMAN LEAVES THE OFFICE AS CAMERAS GO TO ANOTHER PART OF THE ARENA WHERE ALEXIS LAREE AND ALEX MIRAN ARE CHECKING OUT AN OLD OXYGEN MAGAZINE FROM WAY BACK IN JULY 1999 IN WHICH TRISH STRATUS WAS FEATURED.

Alexis Laree: "I'm telling you, soon, and I do mean soon, I'm gonna rearrange that pretty face of hers".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE OLD NETWORK POLICE, STEVEN RICHARDS AND MR. MATURE WERE SHOWN INSIDE THE RING.

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

J.R.: "Could Alexis be jealous there"?

Lawler: "I don't know J.R., but she said she was gonna rearrange Trish's pretty face! I wonder how Wakeman feels about that"!

J.R.: "I think Wakeman has other things on his mind right now King".

JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BE SEEN ARE THE LIGHTERS BEING HELD UP BE FANS IN THE CROWD. THE BELL SOUNDS 3 TIMES, LEADING INTO THE BONE CHILLING SOUND OF THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC. INSIDE THE FOG THAT HAS SET IN THE ENTRANCE, HE EMERGES IN HIS LONG BLACK COAT AND BLACK HAT.

Lawler: "And he's gonna have this long walk of the deadman's to think about this tag team match, as if their match at WrestleMania isn't enough pressure".

J.R.: "Well at WrestleMania, Wakeman or The Undertaker, two legends in our business, one of which will be buried alive King".

Lawler: "And if I were Wakeman, I'd be looking for any way to get out of that match! I can't blame him for being scared"!

J.R.: "He may be slightly intimidated because he is out of his element, I wouldn't call him scared just yet".

Travis Wakeman and The Undertaker vs. Steven Richards and "Mr. Mature" Oliver Worth

This one was never in doubt as Richards tried to attack Wakeman prior to the sound of the bell but Wakeman caught him with a big clothesline. After a reverse swinging neckbreaker, he shot him to the corner and when he came out, he kicked him in the gut before powerbombing him right on the top turnbuckle pad. Not wanting to waste any more time or energy, Wakeman locked in the Round Table and the look from The Undertaker from across the ring was enough to keep Oliver Worth at bay as all he could do was watch Richards tap out.

Match Time: 2:03

Lawler: "That's it?! The other two didn't even get in"!

J.R.: "I gotta wonder King if Wakeman wanted to get that over quickly for a reason".

Lawler: "Oh look J.R., Undertaker's gonna talk".

Undertaker: "Wakeman........

ABOUT TO LEAVE THE RING, WAKEMAN STOPPED AND TURNED BACK.

don't leave yet. I now you're not scared of me. I can see it in your eyes and trust me, I know when fear exists. But I don't want you to be scared..... just aware. Aware of what is waiting for you at WrestleMania. You've had a long, illustrious career, one that I can respect. Do you really wanna put everything you've earned into the hands of the reaper? Do you really wanna take the ultimate risk? Because once you go in that hole and that cold dirt lands on top of your body.... that's it.

WAKEMAN TAKES A HARD SWALLOW.

The choice is yours......

UNDERTAKER EXTENDS HIS RIGHT HAND.

go ahead..... make a deal with the devil".

J.R.: "Wow".

Lawler: "He's not gonna do it is he"?

AFTER TAKING ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO THINK IT OVER, WAKEMAN SHAKES UNDERTAKER's HAND AS HIS EYES ROLL INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. THE ARENA LIGHTS AGAIN GO OUT AND A BOLT OF LIGHTNING BURSTS ACROSS THE SCREEN, FORCING WAKEMAN TO TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK.

Lawler: "Okay J.R., I'm starting to not like this".

WAKEMAN EXITS THE RING BUT DOESN'T TAKE HIS EYES OFF THE DEADMAN AS HE WALKS AWAY.

J.R.: "Is Wakeman aware of what he's gotten himself into? I sure as heck hope so"!

Trish Stratus and Victoria vs. Alexis Laree and Alex Miran

Trish and Alexis went at it in a heated battle until both tagging out after knocking heads. But as Victoria and Alex Miran went at it, their fight spilled to the floor. Referee Chad Patton did all he could to stop them while in the ring, Miran dropped Victoria with a stiff DDT. But Victoria was able to fight her way back into the match and when Miran went for a backslide, she countered it by lifting her up right into the "Widow's Peak" to get the 1.......2.......3.

Match Time: 6:27

J.R.: "That Widow's Peak is as devastating a finisher as we've ever seen from a female competitor here in the TWF and it has spelled victory for Victoria here tonight"!

Lawler: "Look at Alexis Laree though J.R., she's not done"!

WITH TRISH DOWN, ALEXIS WAS DRAGGING HER FACE ALONG THE STEEL ENTRANCE RAMP. FINALLY, OFFICIALS CAME OUT FROM THE BACK TO STOP HER, HAVING TO PHYSICALLY LIFT HER TO DO SO.

J.R.: "That woman is a lunatic! I can't believe what just happened to this poor young woman"!

Lawler: "She said she was gonna do it J.R.! She used that entrance ramp as a cheese grater"!

EMT's CHECKED ON TRISH WHO WAS STILL FACE DOWN ON THE RAMP.

J.R.: "Let's just hope our Women's champion is not seriously hurt"!

Lawler: "Or permanently disfigured, that'd hurt me"!

SEAN CONNERY IS SHOWN AS JAMES BOND AS HE LOOKED IN 1964. HE IS DRIVING HIS ASTON MARTIN WHEN HE IS CONTACTED BY Q WHO TELLS HIM THAT AURIC GOLDFINGER IS PLANNING ON ROBBING FORT KNOX TO BECOME THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Q TELLS HIM WHERE HE CAN FIND GOLDFINGER.

THE SCENE THEN SHOWS BOND AND PUSSY GALORE PULL UP AT A HOTEL. THEY ENTER AND THE SCENE LOOKS LIKE THAT OF AN OLD, 1964 MOVIE. MS. GALORE TRIES TO PULL BOND INTO A ROOM.

James Bond: "We are on a mission here Pussy, we cannot lose sight of that".

AFTER WALKING UP A STAIRWAY, BOND KICKS IN A DOOR WHERE HE BELIEVES GOLDFINGER IS. BUT HE IS SHOCKED TO SEE SHANE McMAHON INSIDE, COUNTING MONEY.

Bond: "Where is Goldfinger"?

Shane McMahon: "Who... oh that guy? I had him taken care of".

STRIFE AND BAHAMUT COME INTO THE SCENE AS MS. GALORE SITS DOWN NEXT TO SHANE ON THE COUCH, SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF INTEREST IN HIM.

Bond: "What do you mean you took care of him? He planned to rob Fort Knox today".

McMahon: "Let's just say he didn't make it".

Bond: "Well, I must come back with something to prove he has been taken care of. I must have something of value".

McMahon: "Hmmm..... I've got just the thing".

STRIFE PICKS UP A BRIEFCASE AND COMES TOWARDS BOND. HE POPS OPEN THE BRIEFCASE AND INSIDE ARE 2 TICKETS TO WRESTLEMANIA 6.

Bond: "WrestleMania tickets, but why two"?

SHANE LOOKS OVER AT MS. GALORE WHO AGAIN SEEMS TO BE ENAMORED WITH BOND.

McMahon: "That's for you and her. Oh, and tell the producers to find someone better than Roger Moore"!

Audio voiceover: "WrestleMania six.... The Gold Standard, anything less and it's probably a different show! Live and only on pay-per-view from the MetroDome in Minneapolis, Minnesota"!

J.R.: "WrestleMania six is coming up very soon here folks and it is shaping up to be the biggest show in TWF history".

CAMERAS SHOWED VISCERA AND MORDECAI IN THE AUDIENCE, FORCING A RELUCTANT VANILLA ICE OUT OF HIS RINGSIDE SEAT.

Lawler: "What the heck is going on now"?

J.R.: "Okay, now we definitely need security out here!

VANILLA ICE FINALLY GOT OUT OF HIS SEAT AND HOPPED OVER THE GAURD RAIL TO AVOID THE MONSTROUS MEN. BUT HE MISTAKENLY GOT INTO THE RING, WHERE HE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND DREW BLOOD.

Oh no, you've gotta be kidding me! He's not a damn wrestler"!

Lawler: "Well what is he? He's not a rapper either"!

VANILLA ICE STRUGGLED, BUT THE WORLD CHAMPION OVERPOWERED HIM AND DROPPED HIM WITH THE "BLOODBATH" TO SOME RESOUNDING BOOS.

J.R.: "I can't believe this! He's assaulting a fan! He's assaulted one of our guests"!

JUST THEN, "BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AND THE FANS GO WILD AS JOHN CENA RUNS OUT TO POSSIBLY THE LOUDEST CHEER ALL NIGHT.

Lawler: "Here comes Cena! He's ignoring the warning again"!

DREW BLOOD CLEARED OUT OF THE RING BEFORE CENA COULD GET A SHOT ON HIM AND CENA WAS THEN SQUASHED IN THE CORNER BY VISCERA. REFEREE JIM KORDERAS ASKED FOR THE BELL.

Viscera vs. John Cena

Viscera pulled Cena up after the big corner splash and took a few clubbing swings to his rib cage. He then locked in a bear hug, sucking the life out of the #1 contender. Cena tried to fight his way free but Vis was just too big. Korderas came around to check his arms and the right arm dropped twice. But on the third attempt, Cena held the arm up and popped Viscera right in the eye with it. He then kicked away at the mammouth before hitting the ropes but Viscera smashed him with a rolling wheel kick. He then engulfed him with an elbow drop. He made the cover but didn't hook a leg and Cena rolled his right shoulder out just in time. Viscera then pulled a spent Cena up and whipped him to the ropes. But Cena ducked a clothesline and hit the other side, drilling Vis with a flying shoulder that rocked him backward. Cena then mustered up every ounce of strength in his body to hoist the 500 pounder up onto his shoulders and dump him to the mat with the "F-U". Cena then covered him and hooked the leg as Korderas counted the 1........2.........3.

Match Time: 6:05

J.R.: "Oh he got him! How do you like that for a warning King"?

Lawler: "So many things need to happen still for him to become the champion J.R., that's only one hurdle"!

AS DREW BLOOD RETREATED WITH HIS MEN, HE WATCHED CENA WAVE HIS HAND IN FRONT OF HIS FACE SAYING, "YOU CAN'T SEE ME" AS THE FANS WENT NUTS.

J.R.: "The only warning in my mind is the one that says Cena poses a major threat to Drew Blood's title reign"!

Lawler: "Oh now this jerk is in there again".

VANILLA ICE CAME BACK INTO THE RING, SHAKING OFF THE EFFECTS OF THE "BLOODBATH" AND OFFERED A HANDSHAKE TO CENA FOR COMING TO HIS AID. BUT CENA DID THE "YOU CAN'T SEE ME" BIT AGAIN AND PICKED VANILLA ICE UP, DROPPING HIM WITH THE "F-U" AS WELL, BRINGING THE CROWD INTO A FRENZY.

J.R.: "Oh look at that! Vanilla Ice has just been sent back to 1990 courtesy of the F-U"!

Lawler: "What was the name of his song, Ice, Ice Baby? Well that was nice, nice baby! Aahahahahaha"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR MVP BASEBALL 2006 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TWF ACTION FIGURES.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... DRESSING ROOM.....

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, JAMAL AND ROSEY ARE SHOWN WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL IN A DRESSING ROOM, WATCHING FOOTAGE FROM DOOMSDAY 2001 OF STRIFE AND BAHAMUT DEFEATING MASAHIRO CHONO AND THE GREAT MUTA.

Jamal: "Ah, these chumps ain't nothin'! That don't mean jack"!

Crystal Carmichael: "I've got a lot riding on you two, you better not let me down".

Rosey: "There ain't nothin' to worry about, we're not Chono and Muta, they won't do that to us".

THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE THE ARENA.

J.R.: "Jamal and Rosey are confident, you gotta give them that. And even though I'm a Rampage guy, you gotta call Strife and Bahamut the......

Lawler: "Wait a minute J.R., look"!

CAMERAS MOVED OVER TO A COMMOTION IN THE SOUTH END OF THE ARENA AS A MAN WAS MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD. HE JUMPED OVER THE BARRICADE AND REMOVED THE HOOD ON HIS PULLOVER JACKET.......

J.R: "Oh my God.... it can't be"!

IT WAS FORMER GSE SUPERSTAR MONEY MIKE!

Lawler: "It's Money Mike! J.R., I've heard the rumors about the TWF and the GSE, but what is this guy doing at a TWF show"?!

MONEY MIKE GOT INTO THE RING AND DEMANDED A MICROPHONE.

Money Mike: "Yeah, you got that right, boo! Boo loud, I wanna hear ya! Because I am here to put a damper on the night. I am here to say that even though the GSE saw it's last day and this company took it over, we aren't going down that easily! Ya see, the TWF has acquired all GSE assets. So the way I look at it, they've acquired all of us! So what I want is a simple request really and I am speaking on behalf of what used to be the GSE. We want our spot in the TWF! We want our own show because we want to show you people exactly what you've been missing for the past several years! So I don't care who I have to talk to, I am not leaving this ring until the GSE is granted their own show"!

Lawler: "Can you believe this guy"?

J.R.: "I can easily say that this is one of the most unbelievable moments in the history of the TWF".

JUST THEN, "NO CHANCE" STIRS UP AND VINCE McMAHON COMES OUT, POWER WALKING TO THE RING.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh! You've done it now Money Mike"!

J.R.: "But look at Money Mike, he's smiling"!

Vince McMahon: "Now wait just a damn minute, who the hell do you think you are! There's a new owner of the GSE and you're lookin' at him! Now, with that said, I do have to give you some credit. You've got balls and I like that. But I also know what you and the GSE have tried to do to the TWF and that is exactly why I'd rather flush it all down the toilet"!

Money Mike: "So let me get this straight. Vince McMahon, mastermind, genius, scared of nothing, is backing down? I gotta say, I didn't expect that".

Vince: "Who said I was backing down you son of a bitch! I'll tell ya what, I'm gonna give you a chance, oh yeah! I'm gonna ask you to put all the money you say you have, where your mouth is! And I'm gonna do it in front of our biggest audience of the year. So at WrestleMania, Money Mike, you have your shot"!

THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS MET WITH MIXED EMOTIONS.

Lawler: "Can you believe this J.R."?

J.R.: "I can't, I'm dumbfounded".

Money Mike: "I'll even let you pick my opponent".

Vince: "Oh I'll do whatever I please, you understand that? But the opponent I have in mind is one who's been waiting for this day for several years. The opponent I have in mind is salivating at the thought of squashing you in the ring. Because Mike, if you win the match, you'll get your show. However, it will all be done under the TWF banner, no more GSE crap! But if you lose, I get to publicly give each and every one of you your pink slip! Oh..... and that opponent I was referring to..... is me"!

J.R.: "Oh my gosh"!

THE CROWD BURSTS INTO A CHEER AS "NO CHANCE" HITS AGAIN. VINCE LEAVES THE RING, STILL A LITTLE HOT UNDER THE COLLAR AS MIKE IS STILL GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR.

Lawler: "I have a feeling WrestleMania just became a can't miss event"!

J.R.: "I can't believe what we have just witnessed folks! The one time competition has been given a one time chance to truly become part of the TWF"!

BACKSTAGE.......

JUST BEFORE MATT CRUZ CAN LEAVE THE ARENA, HE IS STOPPED BY TEDDY LONG.

Teddy Long: "Hey playa! Don't leave just yet. I will have you know that Captain forehead, as you referred to him earlier, has accepted your challenge for a match at WrestleMania. And you're gonna wish you never insulted him that way.... holla"!

Cruz: "Is that so? Well good, that's the answer I was looking for. But before I leave Teddy, make sure you come to Rampage ready next week, cause I have an even better surprise in store for you".

CRUZ GOES THROUGH THE EXIT DOOR AND LONG IS SHOWN WITH A CONCERNED LOOK AT HIS FACE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR MIDAS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NEW MOVIE "SIN CITY".

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

AS SOON AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, "SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO A ROUSING CHEER.

J.R.: "Back on Rampage and this crowd is still shocked over what we just saw but Shawn Michaels is on his way out to announce his tag team partner"!

Lawler: "I wonder who it's gonna be J.R."!

Shawn Michaels: "Okay, since Joe Corey has finally shown some guts and accepted the challenge I put forth, allow me to introduce my tag team partner.... Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner"!

"HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" IS HEARD AND SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC HITS, BRINGING HIM OUT FLEXING AND RECEIVING A GOOD POP.

J.R.: "That's a hell of a choice King! These two men have teamed together recently and nearly became Rampage tag team champs not all that long ago"!

OVER THE TWF TRON, SOMEONE IS HEARD CLAPPING. THE CAMERA PANS UP TO SHOW JOE COREY FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION.

Joe Corey: "Wow, that's quite the surprise there Shawn. Just not quite as good as mine. See, I accepted your little challenge, but it didn't mean I was gonna be in it. So here are your opponents. The Masterpiece Chris Masters and recent Smoky Mountain Wrestling graduate...... Max Ogden"!

"LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK, COREY's THEME, HITS AND MASTERS COMES OUT ALONG WITH OGDEN.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh, what a swerve by The Show"!

J.R.: "Chris Masters and Max Ogden, who we have heard a lot about as he's been in SMW for nearly a year, have been chosen to take on the team of Michaels and Steiner here".

Lawler: "This Ogden kid looks great J.R., take a look".

J.R.: "Masters and Ogden both appear to be in tip top physical condition and at least they have the guts to actually come out here and compete"!

Lawler: "Hey.... watch it".

Shawn Michaels and Scott Steiner vs. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters and Max Ogden

The match started with a pose down between Steiner and Masters and although Masters looked great, no one can compare to Steiner. Steiner then led with 2 hard right hands before sending Masters to the ropes for a Steiner Line. But when he went for a gorilla press slam, Masters popped him on top of the head and tagged in Ogden. Ogden isolated Steiner in the ring by knotting up his legs with some stiff kicks before attacking him with some european uppercuts. Ogden continued to wear Steiner down but with the crowd behind him, Steiner fought back. He was able to escape the clutches of Ogden and take him over with a belly to belly suplex before making the diving tag to HBK. Michaels came in and hit Masters with a hard right hand before turning around but Ogden lifted him up and put him down with an inverted atomic drop. Ogden then hit the ropes but ran into the awaiting foot of Michaels as he completed the "Sweet Chin Music", hooking the leg for the 1.......2........3.

Match Time: 5:35

J.R.: "Oh what a shot! That superkick still comes out of nowhere and Shawn Michaels has just taken out Joe Corey's lackies with the help of Big Poppa Pump"!

"SEXY BOY" PLAYED AS MICHAELS AND STEINER CELEBRATED IN THE RING TO A VERY LOUD CHEER.

Lawler: "Gosh I hope we're not looking at our next King of Cable J.R.! That would be horrible"!

J.R.: "J.R.: "WrestleMania is drawing near and so is the battle to see just who is the real showstopper"!
