September 27, 2005
After an extended stay in the state of Washington, the superstars of Rampage came to Packer country, for a huge show in Green Bay! Marty Jannetty vs. Matt Striker of SMW The stock of Striker has been on the rise of late so officials decided to give him a shot against Marty Jannetty. He made the most of the oppurtunity, giving Jannetty all he could handle. But after running into a superkick, Striker was hit with Jannetty's top rope fist drop and that got him the 3 count. The Hart Family w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Kris King and Tracy Smothers (invitees) Jimmy Hart's team kept up their successful run against the veteran Smothers and the 22 year old King, someone he has teamed with many times. As Max Ogden and Smothers traded shots on the floor, Grenier delivered a devastating suplex into a DDT to get the pin on King. 6 person tag Jamal, Rosey and Crystal Carmichael vs. Hollywood Heat and Melina Uprising's main event was very entertaining, featuring a lot of action from the women. But the fans were stunned when Jamal superkicked Melina, allowing Crystal to get the pin on her. Jamal and Rosey left with Crystal as Blaze and Mercury hovered over Melina with concern. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM LAST WEEK OF MONEY MIKE AND THE HORSEMEN's SHOCKING TURN ON JOE COREY, COSTING HIM THE WORLD TITLE. THE SHOT THEN OPENS INSIDE THE RESCH CENTER WHERE "ACROSS THE NATION" IS PLAYING. AS SOON AS IT STOPS, BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD BREAKS INTO BOOS AS HE COMES OUT, HOLDING A BULLROPE. Jim Ross: "We are live for TWF Rampage inside Green Bay's Resch Center and we are kicking things off with a no holds barred street fight"! Jerry Lawler: "And it's not just any street fight J.R., these two guys have been at each other's throats lately"! "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS BUT NO ONE COMES OUT. J.R.: "Ever since Strife made his return to Rampage, Bradshaw has been making his life hell and tonight, he'll have to pay for it"! Lawler: "There's no one there.... where is he"?! JUST THEN, THE CROWD BURSTS INTO A CHAIR AS STRIFE COME OUT OF THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING. J.R.: "Right there! He's right behind Bradshaw"! BRADSHAW TURNS AROUND AND CATCHES A KICK TO THE FACE, STARTING THE MATCH. No Holds Barred Bradshaw vs. Strife Strife quickly wrestled the bullrope away and wrapped it around the throat of Bradshaw before dragging him around the ring. He then went outside and pulled a garbage can and lid from under the ring, throwing it in. But when he returned, Bradshaw lowblowed him and then smashed him over the head with the lid. Bradshaw then used the rope to whip the back of Strife. Then, to the surprise of many, he lifted the Locomotive up and drove him into the mat with a powerbomb. He made the cover but Strife was up at 2. From there, Bradshaw whipped him to the corner and followed in, holding the rope. But Strife kicked him right in the face and then delivered a full nelson slam right onto the trash can! The can was crushed and Bradshaw was quivering in pain as Strife made the cover to get the sudden win. Match Time: 4:05 J.R.: "Oh what impact! I thought Bradshaw was gonna go through the ring"! Lawler: "Don't give this guy too much credit J.R........, he attacked Bradshaw from behind"! "GET OFF MY TRACKS" PLAYED AS STRIFE CELEBRATED THE VICTORY IN THE RING. J.R.: "Oh you mean like Bradshaw did a couple weeks ago with the brass knucks? I don't want to hear it"! BACKSTAGE AREA........ CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW KARAM IBRAHIM, LOOKING AT HIS 2004 OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL. HE IS STARTLED BY CARLITO, WHO COMES UP FROM BEHIND. Carlito: "Whoa, relax man, I'm not here for that. At least, not yet. You and I have a match tonight, but I haven't seen your friend Matt Cruz anywhere around". Karam Ibrahim: "He's not here yet". Carlito: "Ya know, I did see him earlier now that I think about it. He was part of a police photo lineup. (laughs) Now is that cool"? Ibrahim: "You're not facing Matt tonight, you're facing me, so concern yourself with that....... is that cool"? IBRAHIM WALKS AWAY AND CARLITO, NOT HAPPY WITH THE REMARK, TAKES A BITE OF AN APPLE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PROMO IS SHOWN FOR TWF ERUPTION, FEATURING THE LAST CHANCE TLC MATCH FOR THE UNIVERSAL TITLE BETWEEN JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHANE THOMPSON. THAT IS FOLLOWED BY THE NEW COMMERCIAL FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW DEREK DARKO WHEN MYSTICAL COMES UP WITH A SUCKER IN HER MOUTH, THE WOMEN's TITLE OVER HER SHOULDER. Mystical: "Hey Darko". Derek Darko: "Uh, hey". Mystical: "Look, I know you saw me beat that piece of trailer trash Stacy Snow last week, well, because I'm fun to watch. And now that I've achieved superstar status here in the TWF, as the best women's wrestler of all time, I'm looking for someone to, ya know, watch my back. Think you'd be up to that"? Darko: (smiles) "I think I could do that". Mystical: "Good, can you do me a favor and make sure that Stacy Snow isn't here? SHE STARTS TO WALK AWAY BUT TURNS AND TAKES THE SUCKER OUT OF HER MOUTH. Oh, and throw this away or something". SHE HANDS HIM THE SUCKER AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE. IN THE RING, STEVEN RICHARDS IS TRADING INSULTS WITH SOME OF THE RINGSIDE FANS. J.R.: "Does she want a bodyguard or an errand boy"? "I STAND ALONE" BY GODSMACK HITS AND "87 TIME CHAMPION" APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON. Lawler: "If I was Darko, I'd be doing whatever she asked J.R."! J.R.: "Well this is one we've really been looking forward to folks! Steven Richards made the challenge to Mackenzie Rose, who will be making his long awaited in ring debut tonight"! Lawler: "Steven promises to kill the hype surrounding this guy but I gotta know J.R., has this guy really won eighty-something title belts"? J.R.: "From what I understand, some of our colleagues did some extensive research and they were able to substantiate that claim but that was with a number of companies that are no longer in business..... this is the TWF"! Lawler: "And that's exactly the message Steven wants to send tonight". Steven Richards vs. Mackenzie Rose (debut) The two men locked up and Rose was definitely the stronger of the two, muscling Richards into the corner. Referee Jose Mendez tried to get a clean break but Richards fired with a straight jab, stinging Rose. After two more right hands and a headbutt, Richards went for his old Censor suplex but Rose blocked it, turning it into a high angle swinging neckbreaker. He then hit the ropes and got about 5 feet off the mat for a big elbow drop. From there, he went to the top rope. Richards got up but was put right back down by a flying lariat that twisted him inside out. A surge of adrenaline rushed through Rose as some of the fans were already backing him big time. He lifted Richards up and put him down with his finisher, a move he calls the "Davidson Driver" and that led to the easy 1.......2......3. Match Time: 2:39 J.R.: "Oh what a start! What a way for this guy to start his journey here on Rampage"! Lawler: "Man J.R., I can see how this guy won all those belts, that was amazing"! "I STAND ALONE" PLAYED AS ROSE HAD HIS ARM RAISED BY MENDEZ. J.R.: "Mackenzie Rose has run roughshod through the challenge of Steven Richards and I gotta say, this guy has tremendous upside folks"! THE SHOT CUTS BACKSTAGE......... JOHN CENA IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE TALKING TO RAMPAGE AGENT STEVE KEIRN WHEN HE IS HANDED A PIECE OF PAPER FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED OFFICIAL. John Cena: "What the hell is this? Ah hell no.... hell no"! CENA WALKS DOWN THE HALL WITH A PURPOSE. GARRISON CADE's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A DECENT REACTION. Lawler: "What was it"?! J.R.: "Whatever it was, it sure set Cena off. But right now, two tag team partners are going to have what is being billed as a friendly encounter King". THE MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING AS MARK JINDRAK COMES OUT TO ABOUT THE SAME RESPONSE. Lawler: "I think Cade was rubbed a little bit the wrong way by Jindrak asking for a singles match last week on Uprising". J.R.: "Well I just hope they can settle whatever differences they may have and go back to being the talented young team I know they are capable of being". Garrison Cade vs. Mark Jindrak The bell started and the two slapped hands to start the match before locking up. Cade went into a standing waistlock but Jindrak used a standing snap mare into a reverse chin lock. Cade got back to a vertical base and drove two elbows into the abdomen of Jindrak. He then went for a suplex but Jindrak blocked it, countering with one of his own. Jindrak pulled him up and shot him to the corner but Cade got in a back elbow right to the jaw as he charged in. Cade then grabbed him around the head and neck, hitting a running bulldog. Cade rolled his tag team partner over and hooked the leg to get the 1......2........., but Jindrak got his free leg on the bottom rope in time to halt the count. Referee Chad Patton alerted Cade to this and Cade got in Patton's face, seriously complaining. Cade pulled Jindrak up and whipped him to the ropes. But Jindrak ducked a clothesline and smashed him with his unbelievable dropkick. Jindrak then went for the "Mark of Excellence" but Cade countered with a sharp elbow to the back of the head before bouncing off the ropes. But Jindrak caught him cold with a left hook that knocked him flat to the mat and Jindrak covered him for the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 5:30 J.R.: "Oh what a shot! The southpaw Jindrak has just sent his partner into dreamland with a knockout shot"! Lawler: "Cade is clean out"! JUST THEN, A MAN ENTERS THE RING WEARING A BLACK BASEBALL CAP AND BLUE JEANS, ATTACKING JINDRAK FROM BEHIND. J.R.: "Who the hell is that"?! Lawler: "He came out of the crowd and he's all over Mark Jindrak"! AFTER A DDT, THE MAN TURNED TO SEE CADE WHO HAD A HUGE SMIRK ON HIS FACE AND THE TWO HUGGED. J.R.: "Ah what the hell is this"?! Lawler: "So much for the friendly match"! J.R.: "It appears that Cade and this guy are in cahoots..... what the hell"?! BACKSTAGE.... STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE...... JOHN CENA BURSTS INTO STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE, SLAMMING THE PIECE OF PAPER ON HIS DESK. John Cena: "You want to know what the hell this is"?! Stephanie McMahon: "Why do you have a form to enter drug rehab"? Cena: "I don't know, you tell me! All I know is I want that wannabe doctor in the ring and I want it soon! When I'm done with him, rehab will be the best place for him"! Stephanie: "Fine, I'll make the match, you versus Paul Birchill. But where and when, that's up to me". Cena: "Just make it soon". CENA LEAVES THE OFFICE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR PURINA DOG CHOW IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR THE TWF MALL. RETURN FROM BREAK..... STEPHANIE's OFFICE..... THE SCENE IS AGAIN IN STEPHANIE's OFFICE AND IN THERE ARE REY MYSTERIO, HIGH OCTANE AND SHAWN MICHAELS. Stephanie: "The reason I have called you three in here is to let you know that one of you will be facing Drew Blood at DoomsDay for the TWF World title. THE 3 MEN CLAMOR ABOUT WHAT THEY JUST HEARD. The announcement will be made next week after some careful consideration, so good luck to you all". BACK AT RINGSIDE, KARAM IBRAHIM IS IN THE RING HOPPING IN PLACE AND GETTING WARMED UP FOR HIS MATCH. "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO CARLITO's MUSIC. HE COMES OUT HOLDING AN APPLE AND WEARING ONE OF HIS USUAL SHIRTS. J.R.: "What an announcement and may I say that any of those three men are very deserving of that oppurtunity". Lawler: "Check out Carlito, he seems especially happy tonight J.R.". J.R.: "Yeah he seems to be thrilled anytime he's meddling in the lives of others. Why can't this guy just mind his own business"? Lawler: "Careful J.R., you know what he does to people who aren't cool". J.R.: "So far Karam Ibrahim hasn't listened to much of Carlito's advice and in my opinion, that's a good choice". Karam Ibrahim vs. Carlito Caribbean Cool Shortly after the bell sounded, Ibrahim was able to use his amatuer ability to take Carlito down and Carlito had no answer other than to get in an undetected mule kick. Carlito's best offense was to keep Ibrahim on the mat with mostly illegal moves such as chokes and rakes of the face and eyes. But after reversing an irish whip, Ibrahim used an impressive leapfrog before catching Carlito with a belly to belly throw. Ibrahim then went to lock in his Pyramid submission hold but Carlito knew it was coming and rolled out of the ring. Referee Jim Korderas held Ibrahim back from going outside the ring while on the floor, Carlito reached into his tights and pulled out a small object. When Ibrahim finally stuck his head through the ropes to grab Carlito, he had something sprayed in his eyes. Ibrahim fell back, holding his eyes as Carlito re-entered the ring with a slingshot elbow drop which led to a 3 count. J.R.: "He sprayed something in Ibrahim's eyes! Get some paramedics down there"! Lawler: "What the heck was that"?! CARLITO's MUSIC PLAYED AND FANS BOOED HIM ALL THE WAY UP THE RAMP. Lawler: "It was some sort of mace or something". EMTs HIT THE RING TO CHECK ON IBRAHIM AS MATT CRUZ CAME DOWN THE RAMP. Lawler: "Here comes Matt Cruz". CRUZ GOT INTO THE RING AND HELPED HIS PARTNER UP BUT A STILL BLINDED IBRAHIM DROPPED HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE SHRUGGING OFF ALL THE EMTs. WITH A WET TOWEL, IBRAHIM WIPED HIS FACE AS HE HEADED UP THE RAMP TO A STRONG CHEER. Lawler: "He hit his own partner"! J.R.: "He didn't know who it was, you can blame that on Carlito too! Let's just hope Ibrahim didn't suffer permanent damage to his vision here"! Lawler: "And where the heck has Cruz been, it looks like he just got here"! BACKSTAGE...... BRET HART IS SHOWN NEAR A CONCESSION STAND IN THE BACK WEARING A CALGARY FLAMES HOCKEY JERSEY WHEN TODD GRISHAM COMES UP. Todd Grisham: "Excuse me Bret, can I get your thoughts on your return to the TWF so far"? Bret Hart: "All I can say is I'm glad to be back, doing what I love to do". Grisham: "And you looked great against Doug Basham last week but what about Kurt Angle and the vicious attack on you a couple weeks back"? Hart: "Look, Angle's a great competitor, but I have no respect for someone who does things like that. When Kurt comes back, I'll be glad to get into the ring with him again to show him exactly what the Excellence of Execution is all about". THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION. J.R.: "From one proud Canadian to another and King, how good is it to see Bret Hart on a weekly basis"? Lawler: "Well you know that Bret and I have never been the best of friends, but I know these people like it". J.R.: "And what a streak this young man has been on, a student of the infamous Hart Dungeon himself". "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN FILLS THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A VERY LOUD REACTION. Lawler: "It seems like he's won every match he's been in lately, but if he wants to be anything in the TWF, he has to win matches like this one". J.R.: "Two of the most technically sound superstars here on Rampage and this should be a great match". Rob Storm vs. Travis Wakeman These two men put on a wrestling exhibition, keeping things on the mat and fighting for position. Storm was able to work his way into a standing single crab but Wakeman risked serious injury but spinning his leg out of it. After back to back clotheslines, Wakeman shot Storm to the ropes and delivered a backbody drop. But just then, Miss Hancock came out in a skimpy outfit with a clipboard in hand. As the match continued, she began to jot down notes on a piece of paper attached to the clipboard. Storm was able to get a near fall by countering a clothesline with a crucifix pin. Wakeman bounced up and threw another clothesline but Storm ducked and cracked him with a superkick. He rolled Wakeman up and got 1.........2........, but that was it. Storm pulled him up and shot him to the corner but Wakeman exploded out with a flying forearm smash as he charged in. From there, Wakeman locked in one of his favorite submission holds, the Round Table. But Storm was able to fight the pain and punch his way out of the hold. He then pulled Wakeman in for a DDT but Wakeman swept his legs out, pushing him to the mat. He then went for the Sharpshooter but Storm was able to pull him into a small package for another near fall. Both men got to their feet and face off in wrestling stances, getting a standing ovation. Wakeman went in looking to pick the right leg of Storm but Storm used his left keg to kick him right in the face. He then went for the Canadian Crab, getting it locked in. The camera got a shot of Miss Hancock smiling but that expression quickly changed when Wakeman got to the ropes to break the hold. Storm grabbed him in a standing side headlock but Wakeman pushed him to the ropes. Storm slid between his legs and grabbed him by the chin, bringing him down backwards across both knees. That sent "ooohs" and "ahhs" through the crowd as Storm went to the top rope. Wakeman staggered to his feet as Storm jumped off with a sunset flip. He tried with all his might to pull Wakeman over but his powerful legs allowed him to keep his balance and he sat straight down on Storm, hooking his right leg forward to get the victory. Match Time: 10:48 J.R.: "Great match, just a great match here on Rampage"! Lawler: "Oh there was a match going? I was too busy staring at the lower half of Miss Hancock"! CAMERAS GOT ANOTHER SHOT AT MISS HANCOCK WHO WROTE ONE LAST THING DOWN BEFORE TURNING AND LEAVING. WHEN STORM GOT TO HIS FEET, WAKEMAN EXTENDED HIS HAND AND STORM SHOOK IT. J.R.: "Tremendous respect by these two men, but what the heck was Miss Hancock doing King"? PARKING GARAGE...... DREW BLOOD AND PAUL BIRCHILL ARE SHOWN TALKING IN THE PARKING GARAGE, NEAR A DARK COLORED AR WHEN JOHN CENA SEES THEM AFTER COMING THROUGH AN ARENA EXIT DOOR. WITH A HEAD OF STEAM, CENA RUNS OVER AND TACKLES BIRCHILL, TAKING SOME WILD SHOTS AT HIM. BUT DREW BLOOD GRABS HIM IN A CHOKEHOLD FROM BEHIND AND BIRCHILL KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE. BLOOD THEN OPENS THE BACK DOOR TO THE CAR AND HOLDS CENA's RIGHT ARM IN IT AS BIRCHILL KICKS THE DOOR RIGHT INTO HIS ARM. CENA LET's OUT A LOUD SCREAM AS BIRCHILL AND DREW BLOOD LEAVE HIM, LYING IN EXTREME PAIN. J.R.: "My God..... they may've broken his arm"! Lawler: "Cena needs some help out there". COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CAPITOL ONE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD. RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, "619" IS PLAYING AS REY MYSTERIO, HIGH OCTANE, JASON OLIVER AND CARNEY ARE ALL IN THE RING. J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage and for anyone out there just joining us, John Cena suffered an attack in which he had his arm kicked inside a car door and he is receiving medical attention as we speak"! Lawler: "And right after this tag team match involving the Horsemen, we are going to get comments from Joe Corey"! J.R.: "I definitely can't wait to hear what The Show has to say". Jason Oliver and Carney vs. Rey Mysterio and "High Octane" Damion West Two of the men who are in line to be named the number one contender next week teamed up here and had the Horsemen team in trouble for much of the match. Mysterio and Octane kept Carney in the ring, taking turns wearing him down. Octane caught him with a nice standing dropkick after tagging in Mysterio who came off the top rope with a guillotine legdrop. He had the cover but Oliver came in to break it up. Carney then got up and made it to his corner, tagging in Oliver, the strongest man in the match. After a gutwrench into a powerbomb on Mysterio, he turned and knocked West off the apron with a solid right hand. Mysterio got up though and ducked a clothesline, taking Oliver out with a dropkick to the right knee. He hit the ropes again but Oliver countered a hurracanrana by tossing Mysterio into the air and smashing him with a clothesline when he landed. Oliver made the tag back to Carney but High Octane came into the ring, knocking him down with a right hand. Oliver came in and began trading shots with West as referee Scott Martin seemed to have lost all control. Finally, he was able to get High Octane back to his corner when Money Mike came down the ramp, providing distraction to Martin who didn't see Mysterio with about a 10 count on Carney after hitting his springboard legdrop. But when Mysterio broke the cover to try and get Martin's attention, Oliver kicked him right in the face and then tapped Martin's shoulder who turned to see Carney with a hand over the chest of Rey and the 3 count was registered. Match Time: 6:15 J.R.: "Ah for Christ sake! What the hell is Money Mike doing out here"! Lawler: "He's a Horsemen J.R..... and not only that, but he's ready to conduct the Money Pit"! RAMPAGE CREW MEMBERS BEGAN TO GET THE SET OF THE MONEY PIT READY AS MONEY MIKE CONGRATULATED CARNEY AND OLIVER ON THE WIN. J.R.: "Well the Horsemen are the winners and what does that loss do to Rey Mysterio and Damion West in their quest to be named the number one contender"? Lawler: "Wait a minute J.R..... there's Joe Corey"! JOE COREY APPEARED ON THE TWF TRON AFTER A LOUD GUNSHOT WAS HEARD AND WAS MET WITH A MIXED RESPONSE.
The crowd cheers
Corey: And how ironic is it that our next Pay-Per-View is entitled Doomsday. It's kind of fitting, because Mike, if you have any balls at all, you will meet me in that ring and settle this like a man. And it will be your doomsday. The three of you made a huge mistake when you turned your backs on me, but don't worry, because it will be the last mistake you will ever make in your sorry excuse for a life. When I am through, the Horsemen will be an after thought, and all three of you will know what all of these people have come to find out... IT'S SHOWTIME"! J.R.: "Strong comments coming from The Show and to be honest with you King, I can't blame him one damn bit"! Lawler: "Well it looks like they're ready for the Money Pit so let's hear Mike's rebuttal"!
Money Mike: (Chants of "Horsemen" are heard as Mike just continues to smile) "I've
been from Baltimore to San Francisco to Atlanta and all I've heard during
that time is why Mike why? Listen to them Corey, listen to the fans
cheering
for the Horsemen, cheering for what you didn't seem to believe in. Ya know,
last week when I came to Rampage I had this eerie feeling in my gut that
maybe, just maybe doing what I was about to do to you wasn't the right
thing to do,
something was missing and then I remembered something I did in the old mFw
slash GSE. Whatever the hell you wanna call it, I formed the New World
Order and when I formed that group I did the same thing to you that I did
to a close, well
I would say it was like a brother, he managed me for almost six years of my
life. His name was Mr. Big, he took me from rookie to legend just like
that. I was happy to be with him, but then I saw a future for Money Mike,
something nobody else could take from me,
something that would be the cornerstone saying for me...... the element of
surprise. That's right Corey, the element, a key factor in what I'm willing
to do to shock the world, and well like it says on the back of this shirt Corey, greed
has it's price. Corey do you remember when you came to
me and asked if I wanted to join up with you on Rampage and we could take
over, you remember that? I told you no wait, I asked you if you thought
that our egos would get in the way of this and you said as long as we
control it no it won't and I said okay. Well Corey, when you
lost the King of Cable title, that didn't just affect you, that affected
the look that you and I were trying to create. When we brought Oliver in,
you getting pinned by Rey Mysterio at an event that was built around us,
the Horsemen, and you lost. That didnt affect only you, that affected
Jason Oliver who was made a fool because you couldn't get the job done. And
then here's the kicker Corey, MeltDown, the second biggest pay-per-view of the year and I was
handed a King of Cable title shot, that's right, you didn't even know about
it. I turned it down Corey, I turned it down. Why you might ask? It's
simple, when we formed the Horsemen, I thought you knew what the Horsemen name
meant. You acted like you did, you sounded like you did, but your actions
didnt show shit to that effect! You blamed Oliver for your loss at
Anarchy Rulz when your ass got pinned, you blamed Stephanie for not being ready
for Benjamin when in fact you're The Show, you don't need to get ready, right? Cause
you were the best, and then you wanted all so bad to get a shot at the tag
titles but because we weren't in line for it, I got a six man tag put
together just to get you and Oliver on the card! So if it wasn't for me,
you and Oliver weren't
even sceduled to be at MeltDown. Wanna know where this is going corey? I'll
show you. Mike goes over to a board with cloth over it and pulls it
away to show a photo of him hitting Joe Corey last week on Rampage with a steel chair. This
Corey, this right here is me taking out a piece of something that wasn't even there. What do I
mean by that? Simple, you wined and bitched that you never got a shot at the
world championship, you bitched and complained about why I picked Oliver,
you bitched and complained every damn day and it made me sick! Joe
Corey, where you are right now is where you will stay for the remainder of
your time in the TWF. You're nothing,
you're just a man who bitches and complains and does nothing to build
himself any further. Look at me Corey, me, I may have not faced the heart
of the TWF yet, but I've only been in the TWF for a short time and look how
far I am already. I built myself up the ranks Corey, I made my stay here
in the TWF memorable. Everybody knows who I am
and nobody gives a damn whether I have a title or not because I entertain them
week after week after week. Remember when we put Carney into the Horsemen?
Why did we do that huh, why, cause he was on a losing streak right? Losing
Corey, hadn't won a god damn match in a very long time. jJust two weeks ago
on Rampage, he defeated a man who pinned you
on a pay-per-view. What does that tell me huh? This is what it tells me.....
Carney took it seriously that we offered him to become a better superstar and went out and defeated one of Rampage's top superstars. What have you
done lately for the Horsemen Corey? Nothing, nothing nothing, nothing! Joe
Corey, you are the biggest piece of crap I've
ever laid eyes on and this right here, (Points at the poster) this is what
I think Joe Corey is, a nothing, a nobody, somebody
that wasn't gonna build the Horsemen, instead just try and use them to build him.
That doesn't work in my book Corey, we build ourselves by helping each
other, we build ourselves by building the Horsemen
to the level that the Horsemen once were in the NWA before they turned
into WCW. Ole, Arn, Tully, Ric, unity Corey, friendship, loyalty,
honesty, that's what made the Horsemen the best and that is what will make
the new Horsemen, without you, the best! Why? Because of me, I will
teach Jason, Carney and our fourth Horsemen what it means to be the best.
And I don't need a title to make me
Corey, no, no, all I need is for people to see that I'm willing to do anything Corey, anything to prove my legacy in this business and tonight,
right here on the Money Pit i will once again prove just how good I am. Ya see, you think that last week was a shocke, last week
pissed you off, Well Corey, you're dealing with a veteran of the ring, a man
who hasn't quite done it all, but don't worry my little show, it will
happen. Now getting on with my next plan of action, ya see I couldn't come
into the TWF and just do whatever I wanted to do without some insurance in
my back pocket. I needed some power, some kind of pull backstage, and well Corey, I found it in the best place a man could find it, in the
bedroom, and knowing from hanging out with you at all those clubs, well
let's just say you weren't ready for the next level. But Corey, are you ready
for the real mastermind behind the Horsemen, the person who has been in charge of Money Mike and guiding him through everything he's done to this point? Are you Corey? I know you're not ready, you're not ready for my baby Stephanie
McMahon"! "All Grown Up" hits as the fans are in shock as Stephanie
comes out wearing a short blue mini skirt and a new Horsemen women's shirt that said "Lady Horsemen". J.R.: "What in the hell is this?! This can be"! Lawler: "I think it is J.R."! Stephanie walks into the ring and walks
over to Money Mike and they kiss as the fans erupt into cheers.
Stephanie: "Hey Joe, how's it goin' sweetie pie? Ya know Corey, I told you
from the get go that I would bring your world crashing down and well after Shelton took your title, I knew it was only a matter of time before my baby
would elimanate your sorry ass from the picture! Ya see Joe, I am the lady
Horsemen, I am in control of the Four Horsemen and where does that leave you sweetie"?
Money Mike: "Right now I want a man who stepped up to the plate two weeks ago
for the Horsemen and proved that what I said about him was true, ladies
and gentlemen a member of the Four Horsemen, Mr. Carney.
Carney, let me say this to you, how did it feel when you knew what was
about to happen when you came down to the ring last week"?
Carney: "All I wanna say is this Corey, who is in control of who now huh?
Sure as hell not you"!
Money Mike: "My, my, my, Corey, it seems like your not looking so good right now
champ. Corey, you wanted the world title, I gave you the world title, but
simply put you aren't a champion and so I took it from you and with that
said, lets bring up a man who seems unsure right now, but is willing to
see if I speak the truth, a man who should have had a victory in his debut
into Rampage, another proud member
of the Four Horsemen, Mr. Jason Oliver. Let me
say this to you Jason, you stick with me and Carney and Ms. McMahon over
there and you won't go wrong my friend, if you wanna be like Joe Corey I won't
hold it against you, but if you wanna be
somebody, that somebody that you told me you could be when I offered you a
spot in the Horsemen, then you make the choice right now. What's
it gonna be"?
Oliver holds up the Horsemen sign with his fingers as the crowd erupts
into cheers, yet some boos are heard.
Corey, the ball is now gone, you wanna come after us, son bring your
best cause I've yet to reveal the fourth member. When will he come, who will
it be? Let me tell you something Corey, it isn't the belts that make a
group, it's the members that make the group and when it's all said and done
Corey, you're the person who will be lost, not us. We are the Horsemen,
a symbol that will be branded into Rampage forever
and let me say this for you to remember me by,
wooooooo"!
The Horsemen theme plays as Money Mike, Oliver and Carney hold up the four finger symbol as Stephanie stands behind them, clapping. J.R.: "I don't know what to say here. The woman who has been in charge of Rampage for the last several years has just entangled herself with the most dangerous group in the TWF"! Lawler: "I don't know what to say either J.R., but this can't be good for anybody but those three men"! J.R.: "Well fans you don't want to go away because we aren't done yet! Up next, Shelton Benjamin challenges Matt Hardy for the King of Cable title"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR AFLAC IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR DR. PEPPER. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, MISS HANCOCK IS SEEN WALKING BACKSTAGE WITH HER CLIPBOARD WHEN SHE IS CONFRONTED BY TRISH STRATUS. Trish Stratus: "Just what the hell were you doing out there"? Miss Hancock: (laughs) "Uh, I was doing my job. Fortunately for me, my job involves more than lying on my back and opening my legs". TRISH RARES BACK AND DRILLS HER WITH FOREARM THAT KNOCKS HER GLASSES OFF HER FACE. TRISH TRIES FOR MORE BUT NEARBY OFFICIALS MOVE IN TO BREAK IT UP. "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. J.R.: "Well you can say Miss Hancock didn't deserve that! But right now, this is the match that Shelton Benjamin has been waiting months for"! Lawler: "Well many people were surprised when he lost the title to Matt Hardy, well all except for me"! "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET HITS AND MATT HARDY COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION WITH JOHNNY JETER, BOTH WEARING MATTITUDE T-SHIRTS. HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "I have always been a fan of Matt Hardy's ability and work ethic but I sure didn't like him dodging this match last week with what many feel was a bogus injury". Lawler: "How do you know he wasn't hurt J.R., are you a doctor"? J.R.: "As good of one as Paul Birchill is! Fifteen minute time limit here in this big time rematch and if Shelton Benjamin is to regain the gold, he will have to rely on the raw athletic ability he was born with"! TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger: Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy w/ Johnny Jeter Right after the bell sounded to start the match, Matt Hardy demanded that referee Jim Korderas check Benjamin for any foreign objects. As Korderas conducted his search, Matt struck the challenger with a cheap shot before whipping him to the ropes, punching him in the abdomen and then hitting a swinging neckbreaker. Matt then dropped to one knee, furiously striking Benjamin before getting up and yelling "V-1" to the fans who responded with boos. The move was a bad one by Matt as it allowed Shelton to get to his feet and he hit Matt with 3 straight right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a back elbow. Jeter got up on the apron but Benjamin drilled him with a right hand. He then went to the top rope, looking for his clothesline takedown but Matt moved and then delivered the Ricochet and covered Benjamin for a long two count. Matt worked Benjamin up and tried for a sleeper hold drop but fell flat on his face when Benjamin grabbed the top rope to block it. He then caught Matt with the Dragon Whip kick but again, Jeter got on the apron. This time, Benjamin pulled Jeter's Mattitude shirt over his head and pulled him over the top rope, into the ring. But Matt kicked him in the gut and went for the "Twist of Fate" but Benjamin found a quick, beautiful counter by grabbing Matt's left arm and pulling it behind his back, falling to the mat with him. Benjamin then locked in a chickenwing crossface as Korderas got Jeter out of the ring. The fans were on their feet as there was nowhere for Matt to escape and finally, he tapped out! Match Time: 5:43 "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME" HIT AGAIN AND KORDERAS HANDED THE TITLE TO BENJAMIN WHO GOT UP ON THE TURNBUCKLE, HOLDING IT OVER HIS HEAD. J.R.: "Yes, yes! He's done it"! Lawler: "Shelton Benjamin has overcome the force of Mattitude, I can't believe it"! J.R.: "For the third time, Shelton Benjamin has won the TWF King of Cable title! What a way to end this edition of Rampage.... good night everyone"! OFF AIR...........
