World Arena

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Attendance: 7,119

August 11, 2005

TWF Rampage made it's first trip to Colorado Springs in nearly 3 years, just south of where the action of Anarchy Rulz took place. Uprising got started with Rampage's newest superstar, former tag team, Hardcore and World champ Strife.

Strife vs. Rick Clark

Still accustomed to the tag team scene, Strife was looking for someone to tag as Clark really took it to him. But after turning a clothesline attempt into a full nelson slam, Strife was finally able to put him away with the "Wrong Destination".

Stacy Snow vs. Talia (invitee)

Talia is an upcoming female wrestler officials were interested in giving a quick tryout. Stacy Snow kept up her impressive streak however. After avoiding a flying crossbody off the top rope, Snow caught Talia with the "Gambling Problem" and that led to the 3 count.

Triple Threat Match

Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade vs. The Bashams vs. Hollywood Heat w/Melina

Uprising featured a unique main event consisting of 3 teams looking to position themselves for a title shot. Two men were in the ring and the rules allowed you to tag in anyone. Late in the match, Cade and Doug Basham went at it on the floor as Blaze caught Danny Basham with a superkick. But the legal man Jindrak became distracted by Melina's sexuality and Mercury rolled him up from behind to get the victory.

HOLLYWOOD HEAT's MUSIC PLAYED AND THEY LEFT WITH A SMILING MELINA TO A LOT OF BOOS AS THE SHOT FADES........

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

"ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS INTO THE RAMPAGE MONTAGE VIDEO WHICH HAS NOW ADDED CLIPS OF THE RECENTLY ACQUIRED JASON OLIVER AND STRIFE. THE SHOT OPENS INSIDE THE WORLD ARENA TO A SCENE OF EXPLOSIVE PYRO ON THE RAMPAGE SET.

Jim Ross: "We welcome you to TWF Rampage inside the World Arena in Colorado Springs and if this night is even half what we saw at Anarchy Rulz King, we're in for a wild ride"!

Jerry Lawler: "No doubt about it J.R., Anarchy Rulz will go down as one of the biggest Rampage only pay-per-views ever, there was so much that happened"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH JOE COREY ON ONE SIDE AND REY MYSTERIO ON THE OTHER.

J.R.: "And tonight, we will see Rey Mysterio take on Joe Corey and in addition to that, Stephanie McMahon will be the special guest on the Money Pit"!

Lawler: "I can't wait for that J.R., wow"!

"I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND CARLITO COMES OUT WITH AN APPLE TO MOSTLY BOOS.

J.R.: "And we're starting things off with Carlito Cool"!

Lawler: "I talked to Carlito earlier today J.R. and believe it or not, he said Colorado Springs isn't cool"!

J.R.: "That must be why he's so wildly popular tonight".

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES RUNNING TO THE RING TO A BIG CHEER.

Lawler: "That's because these people are dilussional J.R.! Can you honestly say that this guy Carney is cooler than Carlito"?!

J.R.: "Carney has experienced a bit of a losing streak of late but a win here over Carlito would change things for him in a hurry".

Carlito Carribean Cool vs. Carney

The bell sounded to start the match and Carlito bit off a huge chunk from his apple. But just when he was about to spit it in Carney's face, Carney knocked him down with a right hand followed by some shots from a mounted position. Carlito gave the sign that he was choking and referee Chad Patton pulled Carney away. Finally, slow to get up, Carlito got to his feet and kicked Carney in the left kneecap and went to work on him, delivering some hard shots to the head followed by a backdrop suplex. After a big elbow drop, Carlito made the cover but Carney was up after a 2 count. Carlito pulled him up and shot him to the corner, punching him in the stomach as he came out. Carlito then decided to get on the fans and Carney got to his feet. He acted stunned as Carlito turned around, only to block a right hand and send him to the ropes. Carlito ducked a backhand but Carney drilled him with a dropkick before going to the top rope. Carlito got to his feet and Carney flew off with a sunset flip. Carlito did all he could to keep his balance before going to his knees. Carney tried to use his legs to pull his arms back and turn him over but Carlito pulled them forward and had him stacked up to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 8:12

Lawler: "Ah the losing streak continues J.R.! Remember when this guy was in SMW..... he should've stayed there"!

CARLITO ROLLED OUT OF THE RING WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE, LEAVING A DISCOURAGED CARNEY IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Carney does have some reevaluating to do somewhere but he's a tough kid, he won't let this get the best of him".

BACKSTAGE AREA......

CAMERAS SHOW TODD GRISHAM STANDING WITH JASON OLIVER.

Todd Grisham: "Jason Oliver, we found out at Anarchy Rulz that you were the third Horsemen. But your surprise was somewhat marred by your tag team lose to......

Jason Oliver: "Look, have you ever heard of luck? Rey Mysterio and Damion West definitely had it that night. But tonight Rey, you have to deal with Joe Corey one on one and High Octane, you may have been at one time considered a prodigy, but now that's my spot and tonight, I'm gonna prove it to all these people when I take you out"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "FOUR BROTHERS".

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

J.R.: "Fans if you missed Anarchy Rulz you missed John Cena retaining his World title in spectacular fashion but what we want to show you now is some very disturbing footage of Cena's arrival to the World Arena earlier today, take a look".

FOOTAGE IS SHOWN OF JOHN CENA PULLING UP IN A SILVER VEHICLE. THE TRUNK POPS OPEN AND HE GETS OUT TO GET HIS BAGS WHEN DREW BLOOD AND HIS DOCTOR COME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE. THE DOCTOR SLAMS THE LID ON HIS HEAD AND THEN RAMS HIM INTO THE FENDER OF THE CAR. DREW BLOOD PICKS UP THE WORLD TITLE AND HE AND THE DOCTOR LEAVE THE SCENE.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, THE HORSEMEN THEME PLAYS AND JASON OLIVER COMES.

J.R.: "Those two should be in jail as far as I'm concerned"!

Lawler: "That was one heck of a beating J.R. but the most important part is that Drew Blood is in possession of the World title"!

J.R.: "He's a damn thief! Win it legitimately or move on"!

AN ENGINE IS HEARD REVVING UP AS DISTURBED's "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

Lawler: "I'd watch what you say J.R., he might get that doctor after you".

J.R.: "That doctor's as fake as your crown King but let's try to focus on this match"!

Lawler: "Jason Oliver basically said High Octane is washed up and he is the fastest rising star Rampage has to offer"!

J.R.: "Well that certainly wasn't the case at Anarchy Rulz where Oliver was revealed as the third Horsemen but Rey Mysterio and High Octane kind of stole their thunder".

Lawler: "Well like Oliver said, Mysterio will pay for that later tonight but first, he's gonna take out High Octane".

Jason Oliver vs. "High Octane" Damion West

For the first few minutes of this match, Oliver was doing exactly what he said he would, taking it to West. The offensive outpour started when he caught High Octane with a powerslam as he came off the ropes. Several elbow drops and a side backbreaker later and Oliver had him in a lot of trouble. He lifted West to the top rope and climbed up to the middle rope, putting his arm over his own shoulder. He then climbed up a step further before bringing Octane off the top rope with a superplex that shook the ring. Oliver topped him and got 1.......2......., but West was up. Oliver just needed one knockout blow to become victorious and he shot him to the corner. But when he charged in, West got in a back elbow to the chops before throwing the superkick. But the bigger Oliver caught his foot and pushed him backwards. The very agile West however used the ropes in the corner to stay on his feet and this time he connected with the "Head on Collision" and he hooked the outside leg deep to get the 3 count as the crowd loudly popped.

Match Time: 6:42

J.R.: "Well that oughta change Oliver's tune! High Octane has proven that he's still one of the elite"!

Lawler: "I think he got lucky again! This guy should play the lottery"!

"DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYED AS HIGH OCTANE LEFT, CELEBRATING WITH THE FANS.

J.R.: "There was no luck involved there, just a brain scrambling superkick! And if Mysterio can duplicate this later, it's gonna spell another bad night for the Horsemen"!

BACKSTAGE.....

STRIFE IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SAYING HELLO TO SOME OF THE PRODUCTION CREW MEMBERS HE HASN'T SEEN IN AWHILE WHEN HE COMES ACROSS DEREK DARKO.

Derek Darko: "Well, look who's on Rampage now. Uh, what's your name again"?

Strife: "The name is the Locomotive, who the hell are you"?

Darko: "See, I knew it, you're that guy Strife. Ya know, now that you don't have your tag team partner to bail you out, let's hope you don't start to underachieve around here. Because if you watched Anarchy Rulz, then you saw what I do with underachievers".

STRIFE KIND OF LAUGHS AND JUST WALKS PAST HIM.

BACK IN THE RING, THE YOUNGSTER BOBBY LASHLEY IS SHOWN WAITING FOR HIS OPPONENT. JUST THEN, A NEW THEME SONG COMES ON AND MISS HANCOCK MAKES HER WAY OUT IN A BLACK SUIT THAT INCLUDES AN INCREDIBLY SHORT MINI-SKIRT. FOLLOWING HER IS AUSTIN PORTEAU, WEARING A WHITE DRESS SHIRT, BLACK SLACKS AND A TIE.

J.R.: "Well fans if you came to see Austin Pyromania, you're in for some bad news".

Lawler: "That's right J.R., Austin Porteau got tired of trying to be something he's not, trying to give everyone what they wanted to see! He's not some pyromaniac, this is who he is"!

J.R.: "What? A corporate butt kisser?! Yeah that'll earn him respect"!

Lawler: "My gosh look at Miss Hancock..... remind me not to stand up for awhile"!

J.R.: "That's just so pleasant King. The up and coming Bobby Lashley set to provide the opposition here for Porteau and look at this crowd, they're disgusted with this guy".

Bobby Lashley (invitee) vs. Austin Porteau w/Miss Hancock

Porteau took off the shirt and tie and locked up with the 6'3", 250 pound Lashley. After throwing Porteau to the mat, Lashley yelled for him to try it again. Porteau did and got the same result, finding himself on his back. But he rolled out of the way of an elbow drop before getting up and putting the boots to Lashley. After catching him with a tight swinging neckbreaker, Porteau grabbed him in a dragon sleeper before lifting him up and using the ropes to deliver a wicked slingshot reverse DDT. Porteau yelled "What an improvement" into the crowd but Lashley got up and caught him with back to back clotheslines. Lashley then pulled him up and shot him to the corner, charging in with another clothesline before lifting him onto his shoulder. But Porteau slid off and pushed Lashley into the corner before kicking him in the gut and delivering the former Pyrotechnics, now called the "Reality Check". That led to the 3 count and the win.

Match Time: 3:14

Lawler: "Oh that was beautiful J.R., come on, stand up"!

MISS HANCOCK RIPS THE MICROPHONE AWAY FROM LILIAN GARCIA AND HANDS IT TO PORTEAU.

J.R.: "Wait a minute, Porteau's gonna talk".

Austin Porteau: "Now that's how you climb the corporate ladder"!

Lawler: "See J.R., and you were calling him a butt kisser"!

PORTEAU's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND MISS HANCOCK WALK UP THE RAMP TO THE BACK.

J.R.: "Folks don't go away because up next, Max Ogden faces Rob Storm in a leather strap match"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR COORS LIGHT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR RBK FEATURING ALLEN IVERSON.

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

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, MYSTICAL IS SHOWN WITH STACY SNOW.

Mystical: "Yeah, I just got done talking to Stephanie and she's making me defend my title against Victoria next week. So, I want you to be there to help me keep it".

Stacy Snow: "You mean, tell you how to beat her? Cause ya know, I have".

Mystical: "I just want you to make sure she doesn't get lucky like she did in that tag team match, I can't afford to lose this title".

SHEW HOLDS UP THE BELT.

Snow: "What's in it for me"?

Mystical: "I'll let you continue to hang with me, good enough"?

MYSTICAL WALKS AWAY AND SNOW DOESN'T SEEM THRILLED WITH THE COMMENT.

Leather Strap Match

Max Ogden vs. Rob Storm

For the rubber match between these two men, they were both hooked to a ten foot long leather strap. Storm was able to use the weapon to his advantage by swinging Ogden into a strap-led clothesline. He then pulled whipped the bare back of Ogden several times, leaving it reddened. Storm pulled him up and tried to go for a suplex but taking advantage of the no DQ rules, Odgen dropped to one knee and lowblowed Storm before returning the favor, whipping his back and legs with the strap. He then pulled him up and shot him to the corner, running in with the strap around his fist. But Storm sidestepped him and went for a backdrop suplex but Ogden was able to wrap it around Storm's neck and he pulled him very awkwardly to the mat. Storm landed on his head and neck and Ogden hooked both his legs as referee Jack Doan registered the 3 count.

Match Time: 3:51

J.R.: "Oh that didn't look good, Storm might be hurt here".

Lawler: "And Max Ogden has broken the tie between these two men, they each had one win over the other but Ogden has won the strap match".

"WHERE I'M FROM" BY THE GAME PLAYED AND OGDEN LEFT THE RING AFTER REMOVING THE STRAP FROM HIS WRISTS. DOAN WAS DOWN CHECKING ON STORM WHO WAS HOLDING HIS NECK AS OGDEN LEFT WITH BOTH ARMS RAISED.

J.R.: "All of that is true King but I think the more important issue here is the well being of Rob Storm".

BACKSTAGE.....

STEPHANIE IS SHOWN WALKING DOWN THE HALL.

Lawler: "Oh here she comes, I can't wait for this Money Pit"!

JUST THEN, KURT ANGLE COMES UP.

Kurt Angle: "Steph, I can't thank you enough for giving me the night off. After what happened at Anarchy Rulz, I'm not gonna go out there and let these idiots heckle me to death, especially considering the way they were acting when I got here today.... sheesh"!

Stephanie McMahon: "Kurt, I'm kind of busy, anything else"?

Angle: "As a matter of fact yes. I have figured out a way to make all these people respect me and my ability! That is why I am issuing an open challenge for MeltDown! Yeah, I don't care if he's in the TWF or not, I want someone to be at MeltDown and if they can beat me, I will let these people say whatever the heck they want to to me! Now, that's all"!

ANGLE WALKS AWAY AND STEPH TURNS TO HEAD OUT TO THE ARENA.

Lawler: "Dikd you hear that"?!

J.R.: "Yeah, it sounds to me like Angle is willing to take on anyone out there in the wrestling world at MeltDown".

The Old Horsemen theme comes on as the fans stand to their feet and Money Mike comes out wearing a black silk shirt, black pants, black shoes, a black and grey tie, his rolex watch, and his sunglasses and he strolls down to the ring to actual cheers yet still some boos from the fans. He enters the ring that is already set up for The Money Pit.

J.R.: "Well King this is what you've been waiting for".

Lawler: "Stephanie McMahon is the special guest and we know how Money Mike is, he better watch what he says tonight"!

Money Mike: "My, my, my, it feels so good to be here in, where are we? Oh right, Colorado Springs. Wait a minute, we are still in Colorado? My, my where does the time go, to me it still feels like yesterday that I beat Shawn Michaels at Anarchy Rulz. (fans cheer and boo) I mean wasn't it Shawn Michaels who superkicked me and put a one dollar bill on me and said let's see how worth now? Well Shawn boy, how much am I worth now huh? I beat you within an inch of your life, I survived the heartbreak kid, I survived the showstoppa, the main event, the icon. Shawn Michaels I've bankrupt your heartbreak hotel just like I said I would and just like the Denver Broncos not having Elway anymore, without your heartbreak hotel you're nothing but a has been! (fans boo loudly) You walk the walk Shawn, but you didn't talk the talk, I did, so with that said, there is a very special person I've invited to the Money Pit, a person I, well let's face it, she's my sweetie pie, my soon to be, my little princess, please welcome my guest this week on the Money Pit, the owner of Rampage, Ms. Atephanie McMahon"!

"All grown up" hits as Stephanie comes out wearing a black dress with her hair curled nicely and Mike opens the ropes for her as she enters the ring

Mike: "My goodness girl, you sure do know how to, well you know".

Steph: (Picks up the mic from the chair) "Listen Mike, I know why you have called me out here, you're undefeated on Rampage and you've just defeated Shawn mMchaels and now you think you deserve a shot at the TWF........

MM: "Whoa, whoa baby, slow down now, I didn't call you out here to get you all worked up, no ,no, I called you out here so I can take a good look at my future. (fans errupt into cheers) Yeah Stephanie McMahon, you are my one true goal and sooner than later I know you'll see what I'm talking about cause it's only a matter of time before the billion dollar princess and Money Mike hook up"!

(fans errupt loudly)

Steph: "The only thing we are hooking up is your tights after I find a way to stop you just like I did your boy Joe Corey. (Mike backs off with a look) The Horsemen lost at Anarchy Rulz".

MM: "One loss Stephanie after how many wins? Joe Corey is the future of the TWF just like me and I will be damned if you think you're gonna be able to stop us. There is nothing in this world that will make me ever turn my back against Joe Corey or the Horsemen and since you've decided to ruin our moment together, let me say this to you. That you in fact are not the only guest on the Money Pit tonight, (fans cheer) no, no, missy, in fact, I wanted it to be more of a surprise but hell, then I thought about the look on your face when you met the fourth Horsemen! (fans errupt into cheers) That's right, he's here tonight and he's waiting behind those curtains Stephanie! (Steph's face turns shocked) So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the fourth Horsemen........CARNEY"!

JR: "What"?

Lawler: "It's Carney J.R., Carney is the fourth Horsemen"!

JR: "This can't be! Stephanie you've got to do something"!

Carney enters the ring as Stephanie is just stunned. Mike can only laugh.

Mike goes to shake Carney's hand but Carney just stands there as Mike grabs another microphone and hands it to Carney.

MM: "The mother of all shocks baby, you did it, just like I said you would boy, look at them"!

Carney: (Fans were booing loudly while chants of Carney were heard) "Let's get one thing straight right now Money Mike. I never said that I was the fourth Horsemen! (fans errupt into cheers) In fact, I never said that I even liked.....you! (more cheers are heard) I've never liked Joe Corey either, so what made you think that you could just come out here and say that"?!

MM: "Well for one Carney, you're on a losing streak, you're washed up, you're nothing, you're a thing in the past and quite frankly, you're a god damn joke to the TWF roster! But just like I looked at Jason Oliver to be bigger and better than he was, I brought him over to learn from the best and just like I said a few days ago on the phone to you, you could be the same. Let's face it man, you're yesterday's news! Look at all the stars the TWF is bringing in to Smoky Mountain, you don't think it's just for kicks do you? They are looking man, they are looking for bigger and better things than you and the rest of those idiots in the back, that's why if you join me and the Horsemen, the TWF will then have no choice but to notice you cause you're with the best that the wrestling world has ever seen"!

Carney: "First off the best the wrestling world has ever seen certainly doesn't include you! (fans errupt into cheers) It includes people like Jordan Rockwell, Travis Wakeman, John Cena, the list goes on and on Money Mike and you're not on it"!

MM: "Let me tell you something kid, if you wanna play games with me then fine, play your little games for these people! But next week on this very show, how about you go one on one with Jason Oliver? If you win, well let's just say we will deal with that later, but if you lose, you come out here the following week and announce your alliance with the Horsemen in front of the entire world"!

Steph: "No Carney please, don't do this, we can figure something else out, please dont do this".

MM: "What do you say Carney, yes or no"?

JR: "Oh man come on Carney, you don't have to do this"!

Lawler: "If he doesn't want to be yesterday's news anymore he does"!

MM: "Answer me! Yes or no"?!

Carney: "You're on"!

MIKE GETS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.

JR: "No, damnit, no"!

Lawler: "It's too late J.R., after next week, Carney will be the fourth horsemen! I love it"!

MM: "That's what I love to hear".

MONEY MIKE LEFT THE SET OF THE MONEY PIT AS CARNEY STOOD BREATHING HEAVILY AND STEPHANIE STOOD ACROSS FROM HIM, STILL IN DISBELIEF.

J.R.: "I can't believe this, Carney what have you done"?

BACKSTAGE.....

Matt Cruz, Karam Ibrahim and Shelton Benjamin are walking down a hall discussing stratgey for the upcoming six man match.

Shelton Benjamin: "Man, I can't wait to get my hands on that chump Hardy. You guys sure you're ready? I mean, I heard you two got crazy with Carmelo and his buddies at the victory party he threw for you".

Karam Ibrahim: "Got a bit of a headache, but it'll pass. Melo and Cruz here knew all the hotspots in Denver, so it was a good time to be had. Couldn't have been that wild. I woke up alone".

Matt Cruz: "And that would be different from any of your other nights how? (Ibrahim pushes Cruz with his elbow) Hey, hey vato. Just playin'. Tonight is all business though. We took the titles from Dumb and Dumber last night, so we'll take care of them. I know you are gonna whoop up on Jeff, uh I mean Matt Hardy, for stealing your King of Cable title".

Benjamin: "Oh yeah, he's not gonna get away with no "handful of tights" tonight"!

Just then, a stage hand walks up to the three of them.

Stagehand: "Uh, Mr. Cruz? There's some guy with a cane here who says he's your cousin. He says his name is Julian"?

Cruz's eyes widen.

Cruz: (turning to his partners.) "Uh, I'll catch up to you guys later. I got to take care of something right quick".

Ibrahim: "Alright man. See ya in a bit".

Cruz knocks fists with both Ibrahim and Benjamin as he turns and walks with the stagehand around the corner and sees a tall, lanky hispanic man with long black hair, who looks to be in his mid 20's. He is leaning on a cane. He has a noticeable limp as he walks towards Cruz and they hug.

Cruz: "Julian Puente! Que paso, loco? It's good to see you, homes! I haven't seen you since graduation last year, how are you doing man"?

Julian: "I'm doing good, Cruzito. I saw your big win last night. Tag team champions of the world! You've come a long way since the Cinco Puntos barrio, ese. You may have been "AutoMadik" on the wrestling mat, but to me, you'll always be Matthew "Smooth" Cruz from the Barrio. But uh, how come I had to buy a ticket to the show man? Your moms and dad and your sister went for free. What, you ashamed me"?

Cruz: "Si, baboso. Naw, you didn't let me know in time that you could come. You said your leg was bothering you a lot. But anyways, I'm glad you came. So the message you sent me earlier sounded important man. It must be, for you to drive all the way from Englewood with your bad knee. So what's up"?

Julian: "Yeah, uh, you remember Smokey Benavides and his brother Chango? I know I do".

(Points to his knee.)

Cruz: "Yeah, those cabrones! I'll never forget Chango, I've got four reminders left over cause of that pinche culero"!

Julian: "I just heard Chango might be eligible for parole in the next few weeks. (all the color seems to drain from Cruz's face at the sound of this.) You don't have to do anything. I hear the Canon City parole board isn't going to let him out. Not after what he did to you".

Cruz: "Chingao, I thought I was passed all of this, man. That's why I passed up the University of Colorado to go to Texas, ese. To get away from all the drive bys and gang fights. It went way overboard after what I did to Smokey and then what Chango did to me".

Julian: "Es la vida, homes. Like I said, I don't think you have anything to worry about. He won't get out. Besides, I don't think even he would be stupid enough to start anything now. Listen, I know a lot of the homeboys we came up with are calling you a sellout since you left, but you'll always be my carnalito. You've always stuck up for me".

Cruz: "I always will, homey. I just wish all this would stay in the past. I'm trying to forget all the crazy stuff we used to do back in the day. Listen, I've got to get ready for my match, so you can go to your seat. I'll hook up with you later".

Julian: "Alright vato. I'll see you after the match".

They head off in seperate directions as the shot fades out.

6 Man Tag Team Match

Matt Cruz, Karam Ibrahim and Shelton Benjamin vs. Jamal, Rosey and Matt Hardy w/ Crystal Carmichael and Johnny Jeter

The crowd was hyped as was Benjamin and Ibrahim but Cruz' head seemed to be somewhere else all match. The former tag team champions and the new King of Cable took advantage of this, triple teaming Ibrahim and taking turns pummeling him. Ibrahim rallied behind the crowds cheers though and he was able to reverse an irish whip, sending Hardy up with a backbody drop. He got the hot tag to Benjamin who came in, hitting anything that moved. After catching Jamal with the dragon whip kick, she shot Rosey to the ropes and caught him with a flying back elbow. Hardy ran in but Shelton was waiting with his t-bone suplex. He made the cover but Jamal was there to break it up. But after reversing an irish whip, Benjamin hit Jamal with the Stinger splash before tagging in Cruz. Cruz was all fired up at first, drilling Hardy and then Rosey with punishing clotheslines. But after Benjamin took Hardy out of the ring with a clothesline and then hit a flying plancha on him and his M'fer Jeter, Cruz again lost focus. Rosey came and pushed Cruz from behind, sending him right into his own partner and Rosey then launched Cruz into the air and somehow, Jamal caught him and turned it into a Samoan drop which got them the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:13

Lawler: "Look at that J.R., a little bit of revenge for Jamal and Rosey"!

J.R.: "Well someone's gotta stop this! Rey Mysterio ready for action here against the man he pinned, yes the man he pinned at Anarchy Rulz"!

THE HORSEMEN THEME SONG KICKS UP AND JOE COREY MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH ALEXIS LAREE, ENCOURAGING THE FANS TO GET ON HIM AND THEY ARE.

Lawler: "Oh quit rubbing it in J.R., besides, we all know it wasn't a three count"!

J.R.: "Replays have been watched over and over again and I must admit, although it was close, I don't think Rey got three but like you like to say King, a win is a win and that's what the record book says"!

Lawler: "Well Joe Corey demanded this match and I can assure ya he's gonna make everyone forget that fluke pin here in a few minutes"!

J.R.: "That may very well be but it's gonna take a lot to shake the confidence of Rey Mysterio, he's ready for this"!

Rey Mysterio vs. "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree

This will be a shoe in to be nominated for match of the month. Corey and Mysterio both performed at the highest of levels and there were near falls left and right. Mysterio would not allow Corey to slow him down with his power and he caught him with a drop toehold followed by the 6-1-9 just 2 minutes into the match. But with Rey ready to "drop the dime", Corey wisely rolled out of the ring to regroup. Trying to catch him off gaurd, Rey launched himself over the top rope but Corey caught him and rammed him back first into the steel ring post. After rolling him into the ring, Corey got back in and targeted the lower back of Mysterio, hitting it with kicks, elbows and a knee. Corey pulled him up and shot him to the corner with such authority that he landed face first on the mat. Corey pulled him up and locked in a bear hug, sucking all the oxygen from Mysterio. The fans got behind Rey and he was able to escape Corey's clutches with an ear clap before dropkicking him into the corner. Rey then followed with a monkey flip but instead, switched to Corey's shoulders and victory rolled him for the 1...........2......, but that was it. An anxious Corey got up and threw a wild clothesline but Rey ducked and caught him with 2 quick kicks before hitting the ropes for the wheelbarrow bulldog. Rey was in fire and he was on the verge of springing the upset again. He went to the top rope and flew off with a crossbody but Corey was able to reverse it for a long 2 count. With his anger and frustrations pouring out, Corey pounded on Rey with both his right and left hand. He then picked him up for another backbreaker before locking in The Cage. Rey was in a lot of trouble and the fans knew it. They cheered Rey on, urging him not to tap out. Rey inched his way to the ropes as Corey pulled back even more. But just when he was about to tap out, Rey made one final stretch and got the bottom rope. Thinking he was all but done, Corey lifted him up for the "Showstopper" but he couldn't secure Rey's right arm. Rey then got free and crawled under Corey's legs. Corey ran at him but right as Rey got up, he used another drop toehold which draped him across the middle ring rope. That led to another 6-1-9 and the fans could smell a repeat from Anarchy Rulz. But when Rey tried to hop up onto the ring rope, he lost his footing and jumped right into a kick to the stomach. That allowed Corey to deliver the Showstopper and get the 1.........2.......3.

Match Time: 14:05

Lawler: "He got him! Oh what a monkey off the back that's gotta be"!

J.R.: "How many times have we seen Corey taken to the absolute limit here on Rampage, only to pull it out in the end"?!

Lawler: "That's the mark of a great superstar J.R.! Do you remember Rey beating him now, I don't"!

THE HORSEMEN THEME PLAYED AS AN EXHAUSTED LOOKING COREY WALKED UP THE RAMP BEING HELD BY ALEXIS.

J.R.: "That was one hell of a match and I'm willing to bet that Corey hasn't quite shaken that monkey off his back"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR GLADE PLUG INS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR IHOP.

RETURN FROM BREAK....

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS ARE FOCUSED ON THE BROADCAST POSITION.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage folks and one of the biggest occurences at Anarchy Rulz was the wedding of Travis Wakeman and Trish Stratus.

SOME PHOTOS ARE SHOWN FROM THE WEDDING.

Now King, you asked why they weren't here tonight and that's cause they are on their honeymoon of course and they let TWF cameras come on the trip.... take a look".

FOOTAGE ROLLS OF TRAVIS AND TRISH ENJOYING THEIR TIME TOGETHER IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, DREW BLOOD IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH THE WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND HIS DOCTOR AT HIS SIDE.

Lawler: "Well J.R., I hate to ruin their good time, but if I was Wakeman, I'd be doing something other than playing in the water with Trish"!

J.R.: "Yeah we know what you would do but since you're here, tell me what you think of these two criminals".

Lawler: "Would you stop calling them criminals J.R."!

VISCERA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A DECENT CHEER.

J.R.: "Folks we have it officially announced that at MeltDown, Drew Blood will challenge John Cena for the World Title, Cena's title not his, but tonight, he's got to face one of his former DeadPool members".

Lawler: "Viscera looks hungry to get his hands on Drew Blood but then again, he might just be hungry"!

Drew Blood w/ The Doctor vs. Viscera

Drew Blood absolutely could not handle the massive Viscera who threw the number one contender around like a rag doll. After avalanching him in the corner, Viscera shot him to the other side and then smashed the doctor with a right hand when he got on the apron. But that bought Drew Blood the time to chop block his right leg and Drew then worked on it diligently, bringing Vis to one knee. Drew Blood then bounced off the ropes but Viscera grabbed him by the throat and threw him back into the ropes. Drew ran at him but Vis caught him with his mind boggling wheel kick. Viscera was gaining power and he had Drew Blood in a lot of trouble but as he ran at him in the corner, Drew kicked him in the already hobbled knee and hit the "Bloodbath" out of nowhere. He somehow rolled the large body of Viscera over and topped him for the 3 count.

Match Time: 10:15

Lawler: "There it is J.R., any crimes in that match"?

Lawler: "Drew Blood has gotten the win over Viscera tonight but the fact that he is carrying around that World title is a damn travesty"!

Lawler: "Whether it belongs to him right now or not, my bet is that after MeltDown, it will"!

J.R.: "Oh my God J.R., look... it's that druid"!

JUST THEN, THE DRUID THAT APPEARED AT WRESTLEMANIA AND AT THE END OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN's WEDDING TO TRISH CAME DOWN THE RAMP AND INTO THE RING. HE PULLED OUT A MICROPHONE. THEN, THE MAN PULLS OFF HIS HOOD..... IT's D.W. JONES!

J.R.: "Oh my God.... that's.....

D.W. Jones: "Do I look familiar to all of you? That's right, I'm the infamous stalker, the brother of Travis Wakeman! Travis, it was supposed to be you who was buried at WrestleMania.... not The Undertaker! But now, it's almost better that way because it makes my grand scheme work that much better! I'm not here to earn a TWF contract, I'm only in the building because of a connection I have. So go ahead, send security out here to remove me, but I assure all of you that if that happens, your beloved Travis Wakeman will never be back! Ya see brother, beating you at Welcome to our Yard a couple years ago wasn't good enough for me... because you are still around, still making a name for yourself. What about me?! I was never given what you were and just when we started to have our relationship back.... you met that bitch! And now that you are married, oh, trust me, I plan to make the pain even worse! Ya see brother, you are going to feel what I have felt for the last ten years, not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually and that is why I am issuing a challenge for a match at MeltDown. All I want to do is put you in the place, check that, the hole I have had to be in for years now! If you beat me, I won't want to show my face to anyone again! I have so much hate in my heart that I am willing to put it all on the line! So what do you say brother? Do you have enough time to face me in a match"?!

JONES SLAMS THE MIC ON THE MAT AND LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA WITH A PSYCHOTIC LOOK IN HIS EYES.

J.R.: "I don't even know what to say.... I'm speechless".

OFF AIR.......
