Rampage continued on it's swing of the western U.S. with a trip to Utah. The last time Utah saw the stars of Rampage, they were treated to a World title match. This time, they had a Women's title match on the slate along with a match that would determine the fate of Carney, but it all started with Uprising. Mark Jindrak vs. Johnny Blaze w/ Melina This was the first of two singles matches showcasing two of Rampage's tag teams and Mark Jindrak was the aggressor but he let the sultry Melina distract him and Blaze loaded his boot for a superkick that got him the win. Garrison Cade vs. Joey Mercury w/ Melina Cade was looking for a measure of revenge for his partner losing earlier. He didn't take the bait when Melina tried to distract him by showing her leg but Mercury tripped him up in the corner and stacked him up with his feet on the ropes to steal it, making it a clean sweep for Hollywood Heat. Open Challenge Kurt Angle vs. The Patriot Much like he will do at MeltDown, Kurt made a challenge to anyone to show up. The Patriot, who spent some time in SMW, answered the call, calling Angle a disgrace to the red, white and blue. The Patriot looked pretty good in the match, avoiding going to the mat with the Olympian. But when he missed with the "Patriot Missile" off the top rope, Angle slapped on the Ankle lock and got him to tap out rather quickly. AFTERWARDS, ANGLE GOT ON THE MIC AND SAID HE SURE HOPES HE SEES A BETTER CHALLENGE THAN THAT AT MELTDOWN. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK WHEN D.W. JONES SHOCKINGLY REVEALED HIMSELF AS THE MYSTERY DRUID AND CHALLENGING HIS BROTHER TRAVIS WAKEMAN TO A MATCH AT MELTDOWN, MIXED IN WITH A FEW CLIPS FROM THE DAYS OF THE "STALKER" A FEW YEARS AGO. THE SHOT THEN GOES STRAIGHT INSIDE THE ARENA AND THE CROWD EXPLODES WHEN "MY TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT WITH A VERY DETERMINED LOOK ON HIS FACE, WEARING A UTAH JAZZ #32 KARL MALONE JERSEY. Jim Ross: "We welcome you to TWF Rampage and we are starting things off with the real World champion King"! Jerry Lawler: "Yeah, too bad he doesn't have his belt to prove it"! STEVEN RICHARDS IS SHOWN IN THE RING, AWAITING CENA. J.R.: "A huge night planned tonight as Mystical will defend the Women's title and Jason Oliver will face Carney and if Carney loses, he's gotta become the fourth Horsemen"! RIGHT WHEN CENA TURNED HIS BACK, RICHARDS ATTACKED HIM AND REFEREE JIM KORDERAS SIGNALED FOR THE BELL TO START THE MATCH. Lawler: "Oh look out, Richard's isn't waiting to get this started"! Non-Title Match Steven Richards vs. World Champ John Cena Richards got in some good shots on an unsuspecting Cena but he wouldn't keep the champ off the offensive long. After being whipped to the ropes, Cena ducked a backhand and flew off the other side with a shoulder tackle. That was the beginning of the end for Richards as Cena hit the Throwback and then his swinging sideslam-powerbomb combination. Richards was able to kick out at 2 but then, Cena brought the crowd more into it, finally pulling off the Malone jersey and whipping it into the crowd. A lucky kid in the 3rd row caught it as Cena hoisted Richards up onto his shoulders and dropped him with the "F-U". This time, there would be no kicking out. Match Time: 6:38 J.R.: "Take a good look at that King! Belt, or no belt, this man is the World champion and he's ready to make it back to back wins against Drew Blood"! "MY TIME IS NOW" STARTED TO PLAY AGAIN. Lawler: "Well that's a lot easier said than done J.R., I can assure you of that"! John Cena: "Hold up, cut that music. THE MUSIC STOPS Drew Blood... I know you out there somewhere runnin' around with somethin' that ain't yours! But that's cool. Remember WrestleMania about five months ago? I sure do and I know all these people do too. THE FANS CHEER What happened there is gonna happen to you again homeboy. So you wanna run around with my property? That's cool because at MeltDown, after I kick your ass.... I'm takin' it back"! CENA TOSSES THE MIC ASIDE AS "MY TIME IS NOW" KICKS UP ONE MORE TIME AND CENA LEAVES THE RING TO A SLEW OF CHEERS. J.R.: "That's what you call focus King, he had it at WrestleMania and he has it in his eyes tonight"! Lawler: "Yeah well I'm sure Drew Blood will be ready and waiting". BACKSTAGE....... In the lockerroom, we see Karam Ibrahim and Matt Cruz having a heated discussion.
(pointing a finger in his face) Karam Ibrahim: "Listen, you're my tag partner and my friend, but you better get your act together and focus on the task at hand! I'm not about to go out there and get my ass handed to me because you let personal issues distract you"!
(throwing his hands in the air) Matt Cruz: "My own personal issues are none of your damn business! (calmer) I'm sorry I lost focus last week. We done worked too hard to get these belts only to lose it all so quickly. I told you what was up, you know what I went through when I was kid".
Ibrahim: "Yeah, you told me. That's some heavy stuff. I know why you were distracted, but don't let it effect your performance here. It's not just your career that it effects right now, it's also mine".
Cruz: "I know, homes, I know. I promise I'll do my best to leave all that mess at the door. You know I got your back tonight against Fat Albert with dreadlocks. If his buddy tries to waddle his way into your match, he's going to get a steel chair enema for his troubles".
(smiling) Ibrahim: "That's good to know man. I'm gonna to go the trainer real quick to get my hand taped up. I'll see you in a bit".
Cruz: "Orale".
They slap hands as Ibrahim walks out of the locker room. Just then, Steven Richards walks up behind Cruz with a smirk on his face".
Steven Richards: "I saw that little talk you had with your cousin, "ese". It seems to me, that you were quite the troublemaker in your youth".
Cruz: (with his voice rising in anger) Richards, you REALLY don't want to go there. I mean, I know you just got your ass handed to you by Cena but calm your ass down"!
Richards: "It just proves I was right all along about you back when you first came to TWF. I saw right away that the wholesome "All-American jock" persona was just an act. I knew you were just some street thug who should be behind bars".
(through gritted teeth) Cruz: "Get outta my face right the hell now, before you say something you're gonna regret"!
Richards: "You don't belong here, Cruz! People like you and your cousin are either selling drugs on some street corner, robbing a liquor store, or in jail"!
With that, Cruz hauls off and punches Richards. He kicks him in the gut, then picks up a nearby suitcase and smashes it across Richards' back. He then picks him up in a gorilla press and throws him head first into the wall like a lawn dart. He grabs a clock that was hanging from the wall and smashes him over the head with it, causing Richards to bleed profusely. Cruz then gets him into a rear naked chokehold and begins to choke him out.
(yelling) Cruz: "Don't you ever say that to me again, you son of a bitch, or you're gonna see the old me up close and personal"!
Wrestlers and trainers rush in to break up the fight. They manage to pull Cruz off of Richards and drag him out of the locker room. The trainers then go to check on an unconcious Steven Richards, who is lying face down in a pool of his own blood. J.R.: "My God"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR MADDEN 2006 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TACO BELL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE SHOT IS FOCUSED IN ON THE WOMEN's TITLE BELT OVER THE SHOULDER OF MYSTICAL. AS IT ZOOMS OUT, IT SHOWS HER STANDING WITH STACY SNOW. Mystical: "So does that make sense? What's the matter, didn't learn how to talk in school? (she laughs) Look girl, if you want to be cool and hang with me, if you want to make a name for yourself in this business, it goes through me and it all starts tonight. If I can't count on you, you'll be another flash in the pan. MYSTICAL TURNS TO LEAVE BUT LOOKS BACK AT STACY. Hey, maybe after the show we can go pick out some new clothes for you, those are kind of, ya know, 1980's". MYSTICAL WALKS AWAY AND STACY JUST LOOKS ON, NOT IMPRESSED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, J.R. HAS JUST CONFIRMED THAT JAMAL AND ROSEY WILL FACE MATT CRUZ AND KARAM IBRAHIM IN A REMATCH FOR THE TAG TEAM TITLES AT MELTDOWN. Jamal w/ Rosey and Crystal Carmichael vs. Karam Ibrahim Before the bell even rang, referee Chad Patton threw Rosey out, telling him he had no business at ringside. Rosey didn't go easily, screaming back at Patton but to no avail. In the ring, Ibrahim locked up with the massive Jamal and went right to work on his lower extremities, trying to put him on the mat. Jamal did his best to fight him off with clubbing shots to the back but Ibrahim wouldn't loosen his grip until he caught a knee to the face. Jamal then pulled him up and began to rip into him with some stiff right hands before shooting him to the corner and slamming into him with an avalanche. But when he backed up and tried to repeat the move, Ibrahim moved and took him over with an arm drag. Ibrahim was grabbing his ribs in noticeable pain from some earlier punches and it began to slow him down. Ibrahim took Jamal into a hammerlock and tried to lift him up but it wasn't happening and Jamal smashed him with a back elbow before drilling him with a superkick. Jamal then shot him to the ropes and threw him up with two hands, catching him and bringing him down with the Samoan drop. Everyone thought it was over but Ibrahim was able to kick out at 2. After a scoop slam, Jamal positioned him in the corner and began to go up the ropes for a slinging splash but Ibrahim got up and ran up the ropes, bringing the 400 pounder off with a release german suplex that rattled the mat. The crowd was in awe as Ibrahim made the cover and despite Crystal yelling for Jamal to kick out, the 3 count was registered. Match Time: 5:11 J.R.: "Oh my gosh what a suplex! Ibrahim brought the house down with that one"! Lawler: "Oh but look, there's Rosey"! ROSEY GOT INTO THE RING WITH A CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS FIST AND HE SMASHED IBRAHIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH IT. IBRAHIM STAGGERED TO HIS FEET, ONLY TO BE DROPPED AGAIN. JAMAL CLIMBED TO THE TOP ROPE AND CAME OFF WITH THE AIR SAMOAN SPLASH TO PUT AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON THE ASSAULT. J.R.: "My God someone get out here and stop this"! JAMAL, ROSEY AND CRYSTAL LEFT THROUGH THE CROWD AS MATT CRUZ FINALLY CAME OUT TO HIS PARTNER's AID, BUT IBRAHIM HAD BEEN BLOODIED AND BEATEN. Lawler: "Jamal and Rosey have done a serious number on the tag team champs J.R.. You gotta wonder what kind of conidition they're gonna be in at MeltDown". BACKSTAGE...... MELINA, MERCURY AND BLAZE ARE SHOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN CARLITO COMES UP, CHEWING ON AN APPLE. Carlito: "Hey, I was just wondering if you guys might have an idea about who let D.W. Jones into the building last week". Melina: "We wish we did, we were just talking about that ourselves. Ya know it's funny, all the dirt about Ashton and Demi I find out like so quick but this, no one seems to know". MELINA THROWS HER HANDS IN THE AIR. Carlito: "Well all I know is whoever did let him in.... he's got to be..... cool". CARLITO TAKES ANOTHER BITE OF HIS APPLE AND WALKS AWAY AS THE CAMERA SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, SHOWING DEREK DARKO IN THE RING WITH THE HOUSE MIC. J.R.: "What does Carlito know"? Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., if he knew anything, why would he be asking"? Derek Darko: "Ya know, I'm kind of liking my role as the unofficial extinguisher of underachievers. So much so that starting tonight, I will take on the underachiever of the week every week until Rampage sorts through all the crap it has on it"! J.R.: "Oh come on". Darko: "Now, the underachiever of the week for week number one is a guy who can't seem to buy a win. Someone who has been beaten twice in a row by Max Ogden and someone who I feel quite frankly should join Sam Wilde and Oliver Worth in the unemployment line. So go ahead, cue his music and bring the jerk out"! DARKO TOSSES THE MIC DOWN AS THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS, BRINGING ROB STORM OUT TO A DECENT CHEER. Lawler: "It's Rob Storm, he's the underachiever J.R.". J.R.: "I see that and he seems less than thrilled with this little game that Darko is playing and I hate to say it, but we have Stephanie to thank for this". Lawler: "So what, we're gonna have a match"? J.R.: "Well didn't you hear the unofficial extinguisher of underachievers? Yeah we're gonna have a match"! Derek Darko vs. Rob Storm Storm got into the ring and got right in the face of Darko, only to have the taste slapped out of his mouth. But Storm fired back with a succession of right hands before hitting the ropes and Darko kicked him right in the face. This would set up what turned into a very good match. Darko grabbed Storm by the back of his tights and pulled him up, punching him in the lower back with a hard forearm. He then got Storm in a front facelock and pulled him to the mat with a wicked reverse neckbreaker. Darko then yelled "You should be cheering me, I'm getting rid of the crap"! All that did was draw loud boos and allowed Storm to get in some shots to the stomach before kicking him in the backs of the legs. Darko got in a quick knee lift and hit the ropes but Storm muscled him up and dropped him across his knee with a backbreaker. From there, he went to the middle rope and came off with an inverted elbow drop, right across the chin. Storm made the cover but Darko pressed him off at 2. Storm had Darko where he wanted him though and he hooked him for the "Great White North", only to have Darko use his free leg to kick him in the abdomen before putting him down with a clothesline. After 2 high elevation elbow drops, Darko went for the cover but only got a 2 count. From there, Darko pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but Storm slid through his legs and took him down with a chop block to the left knee. He then turned him over in the Canadian Crab and Darko was set to tap out but after hanging in the hold for almost a minute, something willed him to the ropes. Storm broke the hold and caught Darko with a low dropkick before sending him to the corner and charging in but Darko caught him around the neck and shoulders and delivered a serious sambo suplex. He made the cover but again, all he could get was a 2 count. After a delay vertical suplex, Darko went to the top rope and flew off, connecting with a double axe handle. He went for the cover but couldn't keep Storm down. Thinking a second double axe handle would do it, Darko again went to the high risk area. But he went to the well one too many times and Storm superkicked him right out of mid air! The crowd loved it and he probably could've gotten the win there but when Darko got up, he cinched him in and hit the Great White North, hooking the leg for the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 10:59 J.R.: "Well it looks like the underachiever of the week deal has just been put on ice"! Lawler: "Canadian ice"! THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYED AS STORM LEFT TO SOME HIGH CHEERS. IN THE RING, DARKO KICKED THE RING ROPES IN FRUSTRATION. J.R.: "That was as short lived as anything I've seen anyone here do"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SHOWN WHEN REFEREE JIM KORDERAS COMES UP FROM BEHIND. Jim Korderas: "Ms. McMahon". Stephanie: "So, what'd you find out"? Korderas: "Uh, your plan to get rid of Drew Blood's doctor is.... it's not gonna work". Stephanie: "And why the hell not"?! Korderas: "Because the doctor, whoever he is, has obtained a legal managerial license to be the manager of Drew Blood". THE CAMERA FOCUSES IN ON AN ANGRY STEPHANIE WHO JUST LETS OUT A DEEP, FRUSTRATED SIGH. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "FOUR BROTHERS" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR THE GILLETTE MACH 3. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... TWF Women's Title Match Challenger: Victoria vs. Mystical Mystical was introduced first for this match and as soon as Victoria got into the ring, the champion was all over her, taking her to the mat and choking her with both hands. Referee Jack Doan had his hands full trying to pull a rabid Mystical off but Victoria finally got a kick in to her face. Victoria then got up and fired back kat Mystical with some stiff swinging right hands before whipping her to the corner for a monkey flip. From there, Victoria came off the apron with a flipover legdrop, landing it perfectly to get a 1......2...., but Mystical was up. Mystical rolled out of the ring to try and stop the momentum but Victoria followed across the ring. Mystical was able to grab her by the feet and trip her up before dragging her to the corner, wrapping her right leg around the steel post, despite Doan's protests. Mystical then came in and began to choke the challenger some more. Doan yelled for Mystical to get off and finally, she did. But she stalked Doan across the ring before popping him with a right hand. A shocked Doan grabbed his nose before calling for this bell. Match Time: 4:49 J.R.: "What the hell is wrong with that woman! She just hit the damn referee"! Lawler: "And it looks like the ref has thrown it out"! THE FANS BOOED AS MYSTICAL WALKED AWAY WITH HER BELT. LILIAN GARCIA ANNOUNCED VICTORIA THE WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION. J.R.: "Oh how convenient! Mystical wasn't trying to win this match King! She was just trying not to lose it"! Lawler: "And she's still got her belt to show for it which is a little better than the bumb knee Victoria has now"! BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW STEPHANIE McMAHON WITH MONEY MIKE, JOE COREY AND JASON OLIVER, WHO LOOKS READY FOR HIS MATCH. WITH THE HORSEMEN IS THEIR SPECIAL GUEST, UFC FIGHTER RANDY COUTURE. Stephanie McMahon: "So like I said, no matter what happens in Oliver's match with Carney tonight, you three will face the team of Rey Mysterio, High Octane and Carney at MeltDown"! Joe Corey: "You still think you can outsmart us don't ya Steph? Funny thing is, we outsmarted you by snatching up Oliver before you even announced the trade". Money Mike: "What Joe is getting at Steph is that you can go ahead and make that match, it's basically a four on two and we'd like nothing more than to destroy Mysterio and West once and for all". Steph: "Is that so? Well I talked to Carney today and he made it very clear that he thinks the three of you are a disgrace to the Horsemen name and he wants nothing to do with you..... especially you Corey"! Corey: "Hmmmm, I wonder why. Fact is, Carney is nothing and really never has been here in the TWF. But once he becomes the fourth Horsemen and sees what he's been missing, it'll be the three of us who are laughing and you who looks like the stupid bitch"! WITH THAT, STEPHANIE SLAPS COREY ACROSS THE FACE. HE PULLS HIS HAND BACK LIKE HE's GONNA RETALIATE BUT MONEY MIKE GRABS IT, STOPPING HIM. Money Mike: "Come on man, it's not worth it". THE HORSEMEN LEAVE THE SCENE AS STEPH LOOKS ON, BREATHING HEAVY AND SHAKING IN ANGER. BACK INSIDE THE RING, JUSTIN SANE IS SHOWN PACING BACK AND FORTH AS THE NEW THEME OF AUSTIN PORTEAU HITS AND HE COMES OUT IN HIS BUSINESS ATTIRE WITH THE STUNNING MISS HANCOCK AT HIS SIDE. J.R.: "Back to the action and that was the Natural backstage King, Randy Couture"! Lawler: "How do you expect me to see something like that when I'm staring at someone like Miss Hancock"?! J.R.: "She's a very attractive young lady". Lawler: "Attractive? She's hot J.R., she's so hot she's on fire"! J.R.: "Well speaking of fire, don't adjust your tv sets folks because you are looking at the former Austin Pyromania, now known as Austin Porteau". Lawler: "And for anyone out there that thinks it was a bad business move, just check Porteau's win-loss record"! J.R.: "Justin Sane will provide the opposition tonight and are those slacks? Those are slacks that Porteau is gonna wrestle in"! Lawler: "Well I give Porteau credit because if I were him, I wouldn't soil my hands on someone like Justin Sane". Austin Porteau w/ Miss Hancock vs. Justin Sane The bell sounded and Porteau looked for a lockup but Sane took a step back and cracked him with a haymaker. He then lifted him up with a double leg and drove him into the mat before wailing away with some hard rights and lefts. Porteau got up as Sane hit the ropes and he laid on the mat, letting Sane go over him. Porteau went for a hip toss but Sane blocked it and went for a leg-o-matic but Porteau flipped him off and drilled him with a clothesline. From there, an angry Porteau rammed the back of Sane's head into the mat multiple times before yelling at some of the fans. But Sane popped up and caught him with a dropkick which led to a series of near falls from Sane. After catching Porteau with a german suplex, Sane went to the top rope and flew off but Porteau drove a fist into his gut and went for the "Reality Check" but Sane pushed his way out of it and caught Porteau with a stiff european uppercut followed by a tornado DDT. He went for the cover and got 1.........2....., but Porteau got his right shoulder off the mat. Miss Hancock decided to get up on the apron and she turned around, lifting up her mini skirt to reveal a black thong. Sane went and spanked her, knocked her off the apron but his thrill turned into disaster when he turned right into a kick to the stomach from Porteau who followed up with the Reality Check and that got him the win. Match Time: 12:35 J.R.: "I truly believe that Miss Hancock just saved Porteau from a loss here, using her assets if you will to help him to the win"! Lawler: "Well if I can do what Sane just did, I'll lose a match too"! AS MISS HANCOCK AND PORTEAU WALKED UP THE RAMP, SHE RAISED HIS RIGHT ARM AS HE LOOKED BACK AT SANE WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE. J.R.: "Keep your eye on this couple folks, it seems they'll do anything to get to the top"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR MSN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS SHOW STEPHANIE McMAHON COME ACROSS TRAVIS WAKEMAN WHO LOOKS TO BE ON HIS WAY TO THE RING AFTER JUST ARRIVING TO THE BUILDING TO A HUGE CHEER. Stephanie: "Travis.... Travis wait! WAKEMAN STOPS AND TURNS AROUND. Look, I know what you're thinking. But you can't accept your brother's challenge. I can personally guarantee you that the TWF will not sanction a match between you and D.W. Jones, not under any circumstances". WAKEMAN JUST STARES AT STEPH BEFORE WALKING AWAY. Non-Title Match Marty Jannetty vs. King of Cable Matt Hardy w/ Johnny Jeter Hardy and Jannetty squared off in a rematch from their July 14, 2005 match in Trenton, New Jersey. Trying to reverse the result of that contest, Jannetty took Matt over with 2 quick arm drags to start the match followed by an impressive dropkick. Matt rolled back out of the ring to talk things over with Jeter but Jannetty came over the top rope with a suicide plancha. But Matt threw his M'fer in the way and Jannetty slammed on top of Jeter as Matt rolled into the ring. Jannetty got back in but Matt was all over him with punches and kicks before shooting him to the ropes for a big backbody drop. Jannetty felt the pain in his lower back as Hardy pulled him up and smacked his chest with some knifedge chops. But Jannetty reversed his position and hit Matt with a few chops of his own. He went for an irish whip to the opposite corner but Matt reversed it and followed him in as Jannetty slung over him right into a sunset flip for the 1........2........, but that was it. After trading some more chops, Jannetty caught Matt with a crossbody block after being whipped to the ropes and that got him another near fall. Jannetty pulled him to his feet and lifted him to the top rope before hitting him with a couple right hands. But that led to his downfall. As he climbed up with him, Matt grabbed him around the neck and shoulder and jumped off the top rope with the Side Effect. Jannetty felt the impact as Hardy hooked the outside leg for the 1.........2........3. Match Time: 7:14 J.R.: "Oh what a move! That was the Side Effect off the top rope and there is no getting up after that"! Lawler: "And that's exactly why he's the King of Cable J.R."! STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE PLANCHA EARLIER, JETER GOT THE BELT AND GAVE IT TO MATT WHEN "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME" WAS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN CAME OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Wait just a minute....... BENJAMIN STARTED CLAPPING. Shelton Benjamin: "Good job Matt, A plus man. You just proved that you can beat Marty Jannetty, but what you have yet to do is give me my rematch! THE CROWD CHEERS. I mean, everyone here in Salt Lake City knows that you didn't beat me fair and square". Matt Hardy: "You want a rematch huh? You feel you got cheated. Well too bad! But I'll tell ya what, since you still don't fully know how strong the force of Mattitude is, you go and find yourself a tag team partner and you bring him out to face me and Johnny next week. If you guys beat us, you can have your rematch". J.R.: "I like that idea"! Benjamin: "I can pick anyone I want"? Hardy: "Anyone"! Benjamin: "Okay, you're on". BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AGAIN AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER. J.R.: "So next week, Shelton Benjamin is going to have a partner of his choosing help him get his rematch for the King of Cable title"! Lawler: "No what's gonna happen next week is Benjamin is gonna learn the true force of Mattitude"! BACKSTAGE.... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CAMERAS CATCH MYSTICAL IN THE FACE OF STACY SNOW. Mystical: "Where the hell were you huh?! Did you think this was some kind of joke, or do you need your ears cleaned out"?! STACY SHOVES MYSTICAL AWAY. Stacy Snow: "Listen bitch, I don't want to help you out, I don't want to be your friend and I sure as hell don't want to "roll" with you! The only thing I want from you is that title"! STACY POINTS TO THE BELT THAT IS OVER MYSTICAL's SHOULDER BEFORE MYSTICAL TURNS AND WALKS AWAY. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN COMING TO THE RING IN A WHITE WIFEBEATER AND BAGGY BLUE JEANS. J.R.: "Good for you Stacy! I knew she had it in her"! Lawler: "And we go from that to Travis Wakeman"! WAKEMAN AGGRESSIVELY GRABS A MICROPHONE. Travis Wakeman: "D.W., or should I say Dustin...... you want to play games with me again?! Well guess what? I have been waiting for this since Welcome to our Yard! That was easily the worst loss of my entire career and I have been itching to get it back! But if you remember right, brother, it was me who left you laying at the end of that night! So I don't care if the TWF sanctions the match or not! Come MeltDown, I am gonna kick your ass"! WAKEMAN SLAMS THE MIC DOWN AS "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN PLAYS AND WAKEMAN LEAVES THE RING TO A BIG CHEER. J.R.: "My God... I think Jones is lucky that match isn't taking place right now! Wakeman is steamin'"! Lawler: "It wasn't long ago that someone said Wakeman's past would come back to haunt him! That sounds prophetic now"! J.R.: "It's gonna happen at MeltDown but up next folks, Jason Oliver meets Carney one on one! Can Carney get the win or will he become the fourth Horsemen right here tonight"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF FIGURES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR MILLER LITE BEER. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS FROM THE LARGE CROWD. J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and we are anticipating a match that could determine the future of a longtime TWF superstar"! Lawler: "The best thing that could ever happen to Carney would be to lose this match! He should just come out here and lie down"! "LOOSE" BY EMINEM COMES ON, BRINGING CARNEY OUT TO A HUGE POP. ALONG WITH HIS USUAL ATTIRE, CARNEY IS WEARING THE NEW HORSEMEN T-SHIRT WHICH HAS THE HORSEMEN LOGO CROSSED OUT WITH A HUGE RED "X". J.R.: "Carney doesn't lay down for anyone King! He might be on a losing skid but if we've learned one thing about this kid, it's the fact he has a will to win, a desire to compete and he does not want to be a part of the Horsemen, I'll assure you that"! Lawler: "How many matches has he lost in a row now, like one hundred"?! J.R.: "I truly believe that he would rather stay on the losing streak the rest of his career than to do something completely against his will and join this group"! Lawler: "Well if he loses this match, that shouldn't be a problem"! Carney vs. Jason Oliver Carney had trouble matching up to the much bigger Oliver and was thrown from one side of the ring to the other to start the match. But after being whipped to the corner, he responded with a springboard dropkick that brought Oliver to the mat. But that brought Money Mike, Joe Corey and Alexis Laree out. They surrounded the ring as the match continued with Carney going to the top rope. He flew off with a crossbody but Oliver caught him in mid air and tried to switch him to his shoulder, only to have Carney turn it into a big DDT. The crowd was getting into the match but Corey reached in and grabbed Carney by the foot. Carney took a swipe at The Show but Oliver came from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head. But before Carney got totally screwed, Mysterio and High Octane came running out, exchanging shots with Corey and Money Mike, doing whatever they cpuld to keep Carney out of the group. But they couldn't account for Alexis and she tried to get into the ring as Oliver held Carney's arms behind his back. But referee Jim Korderas spotted her and got in her way, allowing Carney to deliver a mule kick. But Money Mike was able to send West hard into the ring post before sneaking into the ring and delivering the Bankruptcy to Carney! The crowd loudly booed as Oliver crawled over and draped his right arm over him and Korderas got in position and counted the 1........2........3. Match Time: 3:44 J.R.: "No..... no..... this can't be happening"! Lawler: "Oh yes, it is J.R.! We now have our fourth Horsemen"! THE HORSEMEN THEME PLAYED AS MONEY MIKE AND COREY HELPED THE VICTORIOUS OLIVER OUT OF THE RING. THEY JUST LEFT CARNEY LAYING IN THE RING. J.R.: "They have just screwed a man out of a match in order to get him into their group! What the hell is wrong with these guys"! THE HORSEMEN LOGO APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND THE CAMERA MOVES IN ON IT, BRINGING THE SHOW TO A CLOSE AS THE CROWD BOOS IN ANGST. OFF AIR.............
