Rosemont, Illinois
Attendance: 13,389
May 14, 2005
Fans in the Allstate Arena were ready for a huge show, especially after buying programs and reading through the preview. One of Joe Corey's biggest fans was in attendance, dressed just like him and in talking with TWF crew members, guaranteed that Corey will leave Evil Intentions with the King of Cable title. Uprising featured 3 big matches to warm the crowd up. Matt Morgan w/ Teddy Long vs. Cassidy Riley (invitee) Riley has made a name for himself in places like NWA TNA but he was no match for the Mountain. After swatting away a dropkick, Morgan delivered a full nelson slam followed by a running boot to the face. Riley was motionless and his dead weight had to be pulled up but Morgan delivered the "Avalanche", adding insult to injury and getting the 3 count. Marty Jannetty vs. "Mr. Mature" Oliver Worth This was a rematch from Uprising last week and Worth was trying for back to back wins on Jannetty. But after ducking his head too early off an irish whip, Jannetty made him pay with a jumping Rocker Dropper and he rolled him over for the 1-2-3. Sam Wilde vs. Chris Masters Wilde gave Masters fits in this one, getting several near falls and after the referee caught an unintentional elbow from Masters, Wilde rolled him up for what was at least a 5 count. But after catching Wilde in a tilt-a-whirl, Masters swung him onto his shoulders and delivered a torcher rack backbreaker. After a vicious clothesline, Masters whipped him to the corner and charged in but Wilde was waiting with a boot to the face. Wilde then ran out but right into the devastating Polish Hammer and that sealed the win. After the match, Masters locked in the "Masterlock" and kept it in until officials came from the back to force him off. THE FANS BOOED LOUDLY AS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED.
AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, HIGHLIGHTS ARE SHOWN FROM THE FIRST TWO MATCHES IN THE KING OF CABLE CHALLENGE LAST WEEK, STARTING WITH AUSTIN PYROMANIA DEFEATING JUSTIN SANE AND CULMINATING WITH EDDIE GUERRERO BEING COUNTED OUT AFTER A DDT ON THE FLOOR BY PYROMANIA, GIVING THE WIN TO CARLITO. "ACROSS THE NATION" THEN STIRS UP THE OPENING MONTAGE, LEADING INTO A SHOT OF THE ARENA WHICH IS LIT UP BY FIREWORKS. Jim Ross: "A huge crowd has joined us here live for TWF Rampage! King, we are inside the state of the art Allstate Arena and what a huge night we have for the next couple hours on the USA network"! Jerry Lawler: "We've got so much action, I don't know how we're gonna cover it all"! THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS, BRINGING ROB STORM OUT TO A MILD RESPONSE. J.R.: "Oh we will, trust me on that. And we're gonna jump right in to it, with a first round match in the King of Cable Challenge"! Lawler: "Who's gonna join Pyromania and Carlito"? J.R.: "Those two men will team together later tonight and who knows, maybe next week too. But right now, two men who have developed somewhat of a respect for one another are gonna go at it". "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" BY DISTURBED HITS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP. Lawler: "Well that was about enough to make me sick! Why would you wanna help a guy you've gotta beat in order to move on"?! J.R.: "You don't understand because you lack something neither of these men don't, respect, consideration. All I know is whoever wins this match, it won't be because someone helped them do it"! King of Cable Challenge Round 1 Rob Storm vs. "High Octane" Damion West There wasn't a better way to start the action than with this back and forth, highly competitive matchup. Storm tried to go into a mat based attack after a headlock takeover but Octane escaped by using a headscissor. He then hit a few right jabs before running into the ropes but Storm caught him and dumped him over the top rope with a stun gun. Storm then locked in a half boston crab and arched Octane's back in a very awkward angle. But Octane was up to the task, crawling to the bottom rope to break the hold. Storm continued to attack the lower back, hitting a side backbreaker followed by a side russian leg sweep. Octane was in trouble as he was shot to the corner but he avoided a charging Storm. Octane then ran in but Storm was waiting with a back elbow that caught him flush on the jaw. Storm then ran in again but Octane was waiting with the "Head on Collision" and he made the cover. Even though Storm's head jerked back, he had the presence of mind to get a foot on the bottom rope to break the count at two and three quarters. West was beside himself as he pulled Storm up and tried to a reverse neckbreaker. But Storm countered into a quick bridge rollup for the 1.......2........, but Octane was up. Octane was up with a kick to the midsection but Storm fired back with one of his own. Storm then went for the "Great White North" but Octane escaped and swung him into a big DDT. He made another cover as the crowd counted along, 1......2......, but Storm's left shoulder came off the mat just in time. West pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but he dropped his head too soon and Storm kicked him in the chest before going for a northern lights suplex. But Octane countered with a kneelift in the face and then tried to jump over him into a sunset flip, only to have Storm sit down on him in a tremendous show of balance to pick up the quick 3 count. Match Time: 8:39 Lawler: "He got him"! J.R.: "He sure did King! What a tremendous show of athleticism from both men! Boy, that reminded me of Flair/Steamboat, Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels, something along those lines"! AS THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYED, A DISAPPOINTED HIGH OCTANE WATCHED STORM LEAVE WITH HIS HANDS ON HIS WAIST. Lawler: "Well I don't know if it was that good J.R., but that man, Rob Storm has a chance to begin to put his name along those lines, if he wins this challenge"! J.R.: "One spot remains open and we will have that match later, plus...... A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE RAMPAGE LOGO POPS UP WITH NUMEROUS SUPERSTARS ON IT. HOLLYWOOD HEAT, CHARLIE HAAS & A-TRAIN, THE BASHAMS, MARK JINDRAK AND GARRISON CADE AND MATT CRUZ & KARAM IBRAHIM, IN PAIRS. Stephanie McMahon promised a decision and she's made one! Tonight, a Tag Team Turmoil match will determine the new number one contenders"! BACKSTAGE AREA..... EDDIE GUERRERO AND JUSTIN SANE, BOTH IN STREET CLOTHES, ARE SHOWN BACKSTAGE. Eddie Guerrero: "So are we clear homes? Pyromania is all mine in that tag match essa". Justin Sane: "Yeah, yeah, we're clear. Chill out". SANE WALKS AWAY. Guerrero: (to himself) "Don't tell me to chill out, I'm Latino Heat"! A COMMERCIAL FOR KODAK IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR M & M MAZING's. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, STEPHANIE HAS FOUND MORDECAI AND VISCERA. BOTH MEN ARE UP AGAINST A WALL, LISTENING TO HER. Stephanie McMahon: "Because of you two, Todd Grisham isn't here tonight. Normally, I would suspend or even fire someone for what you two did. But no, because now, I'm in control of the DeadPool. And with me being in control, here's my first order. The next time we have a sacrifice here on Rampage, you're both gonna be suspended! Oh, and another thing, I'm working on getting to the bottom of Drew Blood's injury. His doctor doesn't wanna return my calls. Well, we'll see how he likes dealing with my attorneys". STEPHANIE WALKS AWAY AND THE CAMERA GETS A CLOSE UP OF AN EVIL LOOK IN MORDECAI's EYES. IN THE RING, SYLVAIN GRENIER IS BEING BOOED ALONG WITH JIMMY HART. J.R.: "Good for you Steph, get aggressive with those pieces of..... Lawler: "Hey J.R.! Calm down now". J.R.: "Well I'm sorry but damnit, what they did to our colleague Todd Grisham last week was one of the most heinous acts in the history of the TWF! You should be upset about it too King"! Lawler:" What, that we might not ever see Todd Grisham again? Nah". Jimmy Hart: (talking over his megaphone) "Mr. Grenier would like to ask that you all stand in observance of the French national anthem"! J.R.: "Mr. Grenier"? Lawler: "Oh come on, save it"! JUST AS GRENIER PUTS THE MIC TO HIS MOUTH, "MY TIME IS NOW" AND THE PLACE ERUPTS AS JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A DEAFENING OVATION. J.R.: "Oh listen to this! The roof is about to come off"! Lawler: "He came out just in time too"! J.R.: "Think back to a few weeks ago, right here on Rampage! It was that man, Sylvain Grenier, who Kurt Angle convinced to do his dirty work and Cena has come to collect here in Illinois"! WASTING NO TIME, CENA PULLED OFF HIS SHIRT AND GOLD CHAIN, THROWING THEM ASIDE AND THEN TOSSING THE WORLD TITLE INTO THE RING. HE SLID UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE BUT WAS MET WITH STOMPS FROM GRENIER. Non-Title Match Sylvain Grenier vs. World Champ John Cena Grenier did anything he could to slow a hyped up Cena down. But Cena fought through it all and began throwing right hands. Grenier knew that was a fight he wasn't gonna win so he went outside the ring to collect himself. But Cena followed, booting him in the stomach and then grabbing Jimmy Hart. But after being let go, Hart got on the apron, in the face of referee Charles Robinson. Grenier grabbed the megaphone and whacked Cena with it. He then rolled Cena into the ring and came in, covering him. But Cena was able to kick out after a count of 2. Grenier kept the pressure on, but Cena was just too determined. After ducking a clothesline off an irish whip, Cena exploded through him with a shoulder tackle. He then hit the 5 Knuckle shuffle and as he pumped up his old Reebok shoes, everyone could see what was coming next.... the "F-U" and it led to a convincing victory. Match Time: 6:52 J.R.: "Payment collected! Kurt Angle, I hope you took some good notes"! Lawler: "If Cena competes at that level J.R., he might be unbeatable"! CENA GETS RIGHT UP IN THE FACE OF THE CAMERA. John Cena: "Angle! You better not let me find you"! J.R.: "I'd say that's a determined man"! BACKSTAGE...... STEPHANIE IS SHOWN WALKING INTO HER OFFICE BUT WHEN SHE GETS INSIDE, JOE COREY IS IN THERE WITH HIS FEET ON HER DESK. Joe Corey: "There you are, 'bout time you get back". Stephanie: "What the hell are you doing in here"? Corey: "Rey Mysterio? You really think I'm gonna face Rey Mysterio tonight when I'm trying to prepare for this King of Cable Challenge you've set up"? Stephanie: "Oh I know you're going to face him". Corey: "I am really getting tired of this biased treatment. No one else here on Rampage deals with what I deal with". Stephanie: "Read my lips. The match is on.....tonight! Now get the hell out of my office"! STEPHANIE POINTS TO THE DOOR AND COREY LEAVES. ONCE OUTSIDE, MONEY MIKE COMES UP. Money Mike: "So? How'd it go"? Corey: "The match is still on". Money Mike: "Well, then I guess we have to go with plan B". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2 PAC HITS AND THE FOURSOME OF AUSTIN PYROMANIA, STACY KIEBLER, CARLITO COOL AND DEREK DARKO COME TO THE RING. CARLITO IS TOSSING AN APPLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. J.R.: "Just who the hell does Corey think he is"? Lawler: "Oh like he doesn't have a point J.R., how many opponents can Stephanie throw at him"? J.R.: "Well he claims to be as good as it gets here on Rampage but he has his biggest challenge to date in this King of Cable challenge which will culminate in a fatal four way match at Evil Intentions"! "VIVA LA RAZA" IS HEARD AND EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A LOUD OVATION, FOLLOWED BY JUSTIN SANE. Lawler: "So let me get this straight. Next week, we're gonna have a tag team match involving the four qualifiers...... J.R.: "And the man who takes the fall is eliminated. The final three then join Joe Corey in the four way at Evil Intentions. So King, Carlito and Pyro might not just be teammates tonight, they might be a team next week too"! Lawler: "Well look at Eddie Guerrero though! If he has his way, Pyromania won't make it to next week"! Austin Pyromania and Carlito Caribbean Cool w/ Stacy Kiebler and Derek Darko vs. Eddie Guerrero and Justin Sane Justin Sane started the match with Pyromania, the man who defeated him last week. But for the first part of this match, it was Sane who got the best of him. After a cactus clothesline, he made the tag to Guerrero but Pyro scrambled out of the way and tagged in Carlito. Eddie grabbed hold of Pyro's foot but Carlito came in with a clothesline. Carlito took it to Eddie for the next several minutes until Eddie caught him going for a leapfrog and turned it into a powerslam. He was about to make the tag when Pyromania came from behind and knocked him down. Carlito then made the tag to Pyro and he was all over Eddie. After a delay vertical suplex, he thought he had it won but Eddie kicked out after a count of 2. Eddie was then able to reverse an irish whip moments later and turn it into a hurracanrana. Eddie crawled to his corner and extended his hand but Carlito repeated what Pyro did, coming into the ring with an axe handle from behind. This time, Sane had seen enough and he flew into the ring, taking on both men. Finally, Stacy got on the apron and Sane flipped her over the top rope and into the ring by her hair! Referee Jimmy Korderas got hold of Sane and tried to take him back to the corner. Seeing an oppurtunity, Darko entered the ring and kicked Guerrero right in the face. Carlito then took a cheap shot on Sane and Pyro crawled on top of Guerrero and Korderas turned around, got down and made the 3 count. Match Time: 10:50 Lawler: "Beautiful"! J.R.: "Beautiful? What the hell was beautiful about that"?! CARLITO's MUSIC PLAYED AS HE, DARKO, PYROMANIA AND STACY LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS. Lawler: "That was a great win J.R., all the momentum they need heading into that tag team match next week"! J.R.: "With a little help from that thug Darko. But keep in mind King, they could be opponents next week". BACKSTAGE.......FONT COLOR= "RED"> CAMERAS SWITCH TO THE BACK IMMEDIATELY TO CATCH A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND ARENA SECURITY. Travis Wakeman: "Just tell me where the hell Bradshaw is! All I wanna do is talk"! Security Guard: "Like we said, he gave us instructions that he wouldn't be here tonight"! A FRUSTRATED WAKEMAN TURNS AND WALKS AWAY. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR TWF EVIL INTENTIONS PREVIEWING JOHN CENA VS. KURT ANGLE FOR THE WORLD TITLE. RETURN FROM BREAK..... WOMEN's DRESSING ROOM..... INSIDE THE WOMEN's DRESSING ROOM, JACKIE GAYDA AND JESSICA LOPEZ ARE SHOWN IN VERY TINY BIKINIS. Jackie Gayda: "Well I like yours, but mine is..... Jessica Lopez: "You do look good in that". BOTH WOMEN BECOME VERY STARTLED WHEN THEY NOTICE VISCERA PEERING IN THROUGH THE CRACKED DOOR. HE PUSHES IT OPEN THE REST OF THE WAY. Jackie: "Oh, hey Vis. Listen, can you do us a favor and settle a dispute". Viscera: "I'll see what I can do". Jessica: "Okay, who looks better in their bikini"? Viscera: (his eyes lighting up) "Actually, I think all four of them look good". Jackie: "Uh.... we gotta go". BOTH WOMEN SCRAMBLE OUT OF THE ROOM AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE BASHAMS ARE GETTING BOOED. J.R.: "That's enough to scare the socks off ya"! Lawler: "How'd he get into the women's locker room? Every time I try to go in there, I get the door slammed in my face"! "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT ALONGSIDE KARAM IBRAHIM TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Well I'm ready to find out who the new number one contenders for the tag team titles are gonna be and what better way to do it than in a Tag Team Turmoil match"?! Lawler: "Matt Cruz and Karam Ibrahim were one of the upstart teams who felt they deserved a title shot last week. Now they're gonna have to earn it by being in the first match of tag team turmoil"! Tag Team Turmoil Match 1 The Bashams vs. Matt Cruz and Karam Ibrahim Cruz and Ibrahim looked to be the better team decisively as they continued to gel together. After a scoop slam by Ibrahim, Cruz tagged in and they delivered a very unique double northern lights suplex on Doug Basham. But Danny came in and hit Ibrahim from behind. He and Doug then tried to pull the switch but referee Jack Doan was on top of it. He sent Danny to his corner and Cruz knocked him to the floor with a right hand for good measure. Cruz then rolled Doug up from behind but Doug rolled through it and was on top of Cruz in a pin. He then grabbed the middle ring rope which Doan didn't see and got the pin. Match Time: 5:15 JUST THEN, SMOKE SPEWED FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND A-TRAIN CAME OUT WITH THE NEWEST MEMBER OF RAMPAGE, CHARLIE HAAS. Tag Team Turmoil Match 2 The Bashams vs. Charlie Haas & A-Train Outside the ring, the fresh team of Haas and A-Train was all over The Bashams. After they all got into the ring, A-Train used the decapitator on the bottom rope on Danny. But a fired up Doug charged through him with a clothesline that knocked him over the top rope to the floor. Haas came into the ring and went for a german suplex on Doug but Danny got up and held Doug's arms, preventing him from going over. That led to a double DDT after a kick to the gut. Doug and Danny then saw A-Train outside the ring and went out, dropping him to the floor with a double spinebuster. Both Bashams rolled into the ring as Doan adminstered his 10 count and A-Train couldn't beat it to get back in. Match Time: 3:30 Just like that, The Bashams were attacked from behind by the next team out, Hollywood Heat. Tag Team Turmoil Match 3 The Bashams vs. Hollywood Heat For most of this short match, all 4 men were in the ring. Doug came flying across with a leg lariat on Johnny Blaze but Melina got up on the apron, pulling up her skirt to show her thigh. But Doan wasn't having it, getting Melina off the apron. Joey Mercury took Doug out with a flying calf kick but the illegal man, Danny saw the oppurtunity and rolled Mercury up for the pin. Match Time: 3:15 Melina desperately argued with Doan but to no avail as the music of Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade hit. Tag Team Turmoil Match 4 The Bashams vs. Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak As these 4 men went at it, the camera shifted to the back to show Jamal and Rosey watching, intent on who their next challenge will be. The fresh Cade and Jindrak worked like a well oiled machine, making tags about every 30 seconds to wear The Bashams down. Again, The Bashams tried their switcharoo but Doan again was on top of it. Jindrak then caught Danny with a wicked right hand after Cade connected with a flying lariat on Doug. From the middle turnbuckle, Cade flew off as Doug got up, grabbing him and driving him into the mat to get the 1.........2.........3. Match Time: 7:44 CADE AND JINDRAK's MUSIC HIT AND DOAN RAISED BOTH OF THEIR HANDS AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERED. J.R.: "The young tandem of Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade are your winners! What a move from Cade"! Lawler: "Yeah but The Bashams had to wrestle four matches to their one"! J.R.: "Tag Team Turmoil is about the luck of the draw and unfortunately for The Bashams, they fell one short! But for Jindrak and Cade, they have a gauranteed title shot coming up"! BACKSTAGE...... FANS INSIDE THE ARENA CHEER AS JOHNNY JETER IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM. SUDDENLY, A HAND SLAMS HIS LOCKER SHUT.... THE HAND OF MATT HARDY. Matt Hardy: "Johnny Jeter.... why you even in your gear man? You ain't gonna have a match". Johnny Jeter: "What do you want"? Hardy: "I want a lot of things Johnny, unfortunately, I'll have to wait for most. Ya see, I remember hearing about the comparisons between you and my brother. But since you came to Rampage, what have you done? HARDY GIVES HIM A MINUTE. That's what I thought, nothin'. So, I am here to do my good deed of the week I guess, and offer you the chance of a lifetime, the chance to become one of the elite. The chance to be a Mattitude Follower. How's that sound"? Jeter: "I uh.... Hardy: "Tell ya what, sleep on it. I can wait. But we both know what your answer is gonna be. That is, if you wanna stop doing nothing". BACK AT RINGSIDE, MYSTICAL's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO LITTLE RESPONSE. J.R.: "An interesting offer there King, what's Jeter gonna do"?! Lawler: "Well I know what he should do". J.R.: "Time for Women's title action and here comes Mystical, a woman we don't know too much about but as we saw on Uprising last week King, she is gonna be one tough diva". Lawler: "Oh yeah J.R., I think Trish's title reign could be in jeopardy tonight". "TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL" BY LITTLE KIM HITS AND TRISH STRATUS COMES OUT, PROUDLY HOLDING UP THE WOMEN's TITLE TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Well we know what this woman can do King, she likes to be called the ass kicking babe and it's gonna take one heck of a performance to get that title off her waist"! Lawler: "Well, we can't say we know all that she can do because well, we don't...... J.R.: "Oh don't go ther King, come on! Let's just...... oh wait a minute, look out Trish"! JUST THEN, BRADSHAW COMES INTO THE RING FROM THE CROWD AND FROM BEHIND TRISH. TRISH TURNS AROUND TO GET TRAMPLED BY THE "CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL" BEFORE LEAVING THE RING TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT. BRADSHAW STOOD IN THE AISLE WITH A SICK SMILE ON HIS FACE. J.R.: "Look at that son of a bitch! He's proud of clotheslining a defenseless woman! What the hell is wrong with him"! Lawler: "Wow, it looks like Bradshaw really took that failed sales pitch to heart". J.R.: "Get him outta here! Get him out of my sight! The no good son of a bitch"! Lawler: "They need to get Trish some help". JUST THEN, EMT's COME TO THE RING AND GENTLY HELP TRISH OUT OF THE RING. BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW CARNEY POPPING HIS FISTS AS HE HEADS DOWN THE HALL, READY FOR HIS MATCH. BUT SUDDENLY, OUT STEPS MAX OGDEN, BLOCKING HIS WAY. Max Ogden: "Oh hey Carney, you must be heading out for your match. Ya know, between you and Shelton, I don't care who wins. All I know is I've beaten you both. Remember SMW, when I beat you and you got fired for it? OGDEN LAUGHS Go ahead Carney, go tear the house down". OGDEN LAUGHS SOME MORE AS CARNEY JUST STARES HIM DOWN BEFORE WALKING AWAY. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL IBM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TWF FIGURES. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS CATCH A SITUATION THAT HAS EXPLODED BACKSTAGE. TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO GET TO BRADSHAW BUT NOT ONLY IS HE BEING HELD BACK, BRADSHAW HAS HIS OWN HIRED SECURITY. Travis Wakeman: "Let me go! Bradshaw, you're a dead man"! Bradshaw: "You lay one hand on me and you will be in handcuffs so fast it'll make your damn head spin! You want me so bad, is that what you want? Then you meet me in the ring at Evil Intentions! Until then, save your street thug mentality for a place where it belongs and at the rate you're going, that could be jail! Get me out of here"! BRADSHAW IS ESCORTED TO A WAITING VEHICLE. AFTER GETTING INTO IT, IT SPEEDS OFF AS WAKEMAN IS FLAT OUT IRATE. "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME" HITS AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES TO THE RING TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "Well how can you blame Wakeman for being upset for God sake"?! Lawler: "Well Bradshaw just told him where he could find him"! J.R.: "I heard. But fans, we have one spot in that big tag team match in the King of Cable Challenge left and it's going to the winner of this match". "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY STEPS OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. Lawler: "And I see this as a real toss up J.R. but do you think Max Ogden might've gotten into Carney's head"? J.R.: "Knowing Carney and all he has been through, I doubt it". King of Cable Challenge Round 1 Shelton Benjamin vs. Carney After a quick slap of hands, the bell sounded and the two men locked up. Easily the stronger of the two, Benjamin whipped Carney to the mat with an arm drag. Benjamin wanted to keep him there but Carney worked his way out with a backflip into a sweep using his hands. He went for a cover but didn't even get a 1 count. Benjamin got up and threw a kick which Carney caught. He then threw his leg down and went for a wheel kick but Benjamin ducked and grabbed him for his t-bone. Carney elbowed his way free and then backed off as the fans rose to cheer the exchange. Inside another tie up, Benjamin used a kneelift before hitting the ropes and going for a clothesline. Carney ducked into a crucifix but he couldn't pull him over and Shelton instead turned it into a Samoan drop. A cover got him a 2 count. Shelton then went for a scoop slam but Carney countered into a small package to get the 1.......2......., but Benjamin was up. Benjamin then threw a kick but Carney caught it before getting dropped by the Dragon Whip. Again, Shelton got a 2 count. Benjamin then mounted Carney in the corner and laid into him with 10 right hands that the crowd counted along with. But after a whip to the corner, Benjamin went for the Stinger Splash but Carney moved. He then dropkicked Shelton in the back and as he fell backwards, Carney rolled him up with a lot of leverage to get the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 5:35 J.R.: "Brilliant move by Carney and he's moving into that tag team match next week"! Lawler: "Look at Benjamin, he looks downright shocked"! J.R.: "Shelton's day will come, no one questions that but on this night, Carney was the better man"! BACKSTAGE..... KURT ANGLE IS SHOWN WITH STEVEN RICHARDS AND "MR. MATURE" OLIVER WORTH. Kurt Angle: "Yeah, I snuck out of the dollar sign we had made into a door and boom, I was all over that wannabe rapper"! Steven Richards: "Oh boy". JUST THEN, A FIGURE CAN BE MADE OUT IN THE BACKGROUND. RICHARDS AND WORTH LEAVE WHEN THEY REALIZE IT's JOHN CENA! CENA CHARGES AND TACKLES ANGLE WITH A DOUBLE LEG AND THEN LAYS INTO HIM WITH RIGHT HAND AFTER RIGHT HAND. ANGLE TRIES TO FIGHT BACK BUT CENA IS TOO MUCH. FINALLY, AGENTS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA COME UP AND PULL THEM APART, BUT BOTH MEN HAVE SOME CURSE WORDS FOR EACH OTHER. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE DEADPOOL's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND BOTH MORDECAI AND VISCERA ARE IN THE RING. J.R.: "At Evil Intentions, there won't be anyone to break it up! There won't be anything to save Angle! And did these two hear Stephanie McMahin earlier"?! Lawler: "After what these guys did to Todd Grisham last week, everyone is a target"! Mordecai: "Stephanie..... we get you message loud and clear. But tonight, a new sinner will be dealt with! Another unfortunate soul will meet their fate"! JUST THEN, MORDECAI LIFTS HIS STAFF AND HITS VISCERA RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH IT! Lawler: "What"?! J.R.: "Don't tell me Viscera is the sinner! What the hell is going on here"! MORDECAI's MUSIC HITS AND HE LOOKS UP TOWARDS THE CEILING WITH AN EVIL LOOK IN HIS EYES. Lawler: "The more I try to understand these guys.... the more I don't"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR GATORADE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR X-BOX. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, JOE COREY AND REY MYSTERIO ARE TRADING SHOTS IN THE RING AS ALEXIS LAREE YELLS FROM THE FLOOR. J.R.: "Folks during the commercial break, Rey Mysterio made his entrance but Joe Corey attacked him from behind, being typical Joe Corey"! Lawler: "And look at this J.R., Mysterio is fighting back"! Non-Title Match Rey Mysterio vs. King of Cable "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree After hitting Rey with a barrage of right hands, Corey found himself on the mat after a wheel barrow bulldog. Rey then went into his moveset, systematically taking the champion apart. Corey got a punch into the gut hit the ropes but Rey came back with a drop toehold. With Corey hanging over the middle ring rope, Rey cupped his hands and yelled "6-1-9". Alexis knew she needed to do something so she got up on the apron, drawing referee Earl Hebner over. While this was going on, Money Mike came running to the ring with a lead pipe in his hands. But instead of hitting an alert Rey with it, he tossed it to him. When Rey caught it, Corey fell to the mat and screamed in what many thought was pure agony. Hebner turned around to see Corey rolling around, putting on what he didn't know was one hell of an act. He also saw Mysterio holding the lead pipe and called for the bell. Match Time: 4:38 Lilian Garcia: "The winner of this match, as the result of a disqualification...... Joe Corey"! THE CROWD BOOED LOUDLY AND MONEY MIKE JUST LAUGHED AS ALEXIS GOT THE KING OF CABLE TITLE FROM THE TIMEKEEPER. J.R.: "I'll be damned! This can't be"! Lawler: "Oh but it is J.R..... that was plan B"! MONEY MIKE LOOKED ON, STILL SMILING AT REY AS HE LOOKED ON THROUGH HIS MASK IN ANGER. J.R.: "Well Money Mike, I hope you have a plan A, B and C for Rey Mysterio, he'll be comin' for ya now"! OFF AIR..........
