RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR WITH SCENES FROM TWF DOOMSDAY STARTING WITH JOE COREY DEFEATING JASON OLIVER FOLLOWED BY THE SAVAGE POST MATCH BEATING BY THE HORSEMEN. NEXT, TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN TAKING OUT THE SURPRISE HELP AUSTIN PORTEAU BROUGHT OUT, IRWIN R. SCHYSTER AND CURTIS HUGHES, EN ROUTE TO A WIN OVER HIM WITH THE "ROYAL FLUSH" AND FINALLY, HIGH OCTANE's HARD FOUGHT, UPSET VICTORY OVER DREW BLOOD IS RAN, FOLLOWED BY THE CELEBRATION THAT FOLLOWED. THE SHOT FADES OUT ON OCTANE HOLDING UP THE TITLE. THE ARENA COMES INTO VIEW AND AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" BY DISTURBED FILLS THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER, RAISING THE WORLD TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND SHOUTING IN EXCITEMENT. Jim Ross: "We thank you for joining us here tonight on USA and you are looking at the newly crowned World champion"! Jerry Lawler: "Don't adjust your tv sets folks, it actually happened! High Octane actually defeated Drew Blood for the title"! HIGH OCTANE IS HANDED A MICROPHONE BUT HE SEEMS OVERWHELMED BY WHAT IS NOW A STANDING OVATION. J.R.: "Fans here in Mobile showing a tremendous amount of respect for Damion West". High Octane: "Thank you, I appreciate it. Ya know, I can't begin to tell you how good it finally feels to hold this thing. I mean, I had almost given up on myself, so I know you guys had to have done the same. With the win at DoomsDay, I learned a valuable lesson, perseverance. I learned that no matter how much of a longshot it seems, if you believe in what you can do and....... JUST THEN, OCTANE IS INTERRUPTED BY A VOICE WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE DREW BLOOD WHO HAS PAUL BIRCHILL WITH HIM. Drew Blood: "I've heard enough! I hate to come out here and interrupt your bible study Damion, but what you should be out here saying is that you learned that the sun shines on a dog's ass now and then"! J.R.: "Oh come on". Drew Blood: "Look, you got lucky, plain and simple. You can bet I'll be using my rematch soon, but it'll be on my terms, not on yours. There won't be any triple threat match to qualify, there won't be any tag team matches to warm you up. It's going to happen when I say it's going to happen. But before that, Mister Birchill here is not happy about what happened in his match at DoomsDay either and if you got the guts Octane, he wants a piece of you tonight"! J.R.: "I wouldn't do it, it's a trap". High Octane: "Before I was rudely interrupted, I was going to say that I won't be a closet champion like you were! So yeah, you're on, I'll face that big freak tonight"! BIRCHILL ASKS LIKE HE WANTS TO GO TO THE RING BUT DREW BLOOD HOLDS HIM BACK AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" STARTS AGAIN. Lawler: "He accepted J.R."! J.R.: "You're dang right he did King! The new World champion is gonna be in action..... tonight"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR UPS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "WALK THE LINE" FEATURING REESE WITHERSPOON. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... RAMPAGE RETURNS TO SHOW THE HART FAMILY IN THE RING WITH THEIR MUSIC PLAYING. USING HIS MEGAPHONE, JIMMY HART IS DEMANDING THE FANS STAND AND SHOW THEIR RESPECT FOR THE "WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM" BUT ALL HE GETS IS A HOUSE FULL OF BOOS. "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND THE FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS MATT CRUZ AND KARAM IBRAHIM COME OUT TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage as we get set for tag team action with the former champions". Lawler: "Well I talked to Matt Cruz not that long ago this evening J.R. and he told me that he wants to see if his win over Carlito at DoomsDay will give his team with Ibrahim some added momentum". J.R.: "I know Cruz has wanted to get this team back into contention and a win here over Max Ogden and Sylvain Grenier would go a long way in doing that". Matt Cruz and Karam Ibrahim vs. The Hart Family w/ Jimmy Hart The bell sounded and Ibrahim decided he would start the match with Grenier. Grenier immediately lunged at him but Ibrahim went to one knee and wrapped him up in a standing waistlock before taking him to the mat with a Greco Roman takedown. He turned that into a front facelock and really had Grenier tight. Grenier tried to use his upper body strength to fight his way up but Ibrahim pulled him back to the mat. Grenier was able to stretch out his right foot to the bottom rope and that might be the only way he could've escaped. Ibrahim released the hold and tagged in Cruz before the two combined for a double shoulder tackle. Grenier was able to roll to his corner and make the tag to Ogden who stepped through the ropes, staring across the ring at Cruz in a showdown of young lions on Rampage. They locked up in a collar and elbow tie up and Cruz quickly whipped him to the mat with an arm drag. But Ogden slipped out of an armbar attempt and rocked Cruz with back to back right hands. He then shot him to the ropes but Cruz delivered a fisherman suplex when he dropped his head too early and Grenier had to come in to prevent a 3 count. Cruz got up and took a swing at Grenier but referee Jose Mendez had already gotten Grenier to his corner. Ogden tried to come from behind but Cruz slipped out of a hammerlock and went for an irish whip, only to see Ogden reverse it and send him right into his own partner. Ibrahim fell to the floor as Ogden went for a clothesline but Cruz ducked and took him down with a crossface. Ogden seemed like he might tap out but Cruz released the hold when he saw Ibrahim throw his hands up and walk out on the match! Cruz stood in the ring, imploring his partner to get back but Grenier came in the ring and nailed Cruz from behind. He and Ogden then dropped him with a double lifting DDT, driving his head into the mat. Ogden then rolled him over and made the cover as Mendez issued the 1........2......3. Match Time: 4:11 J.R.: "What the heck's gotten into Ibrahim?! He left his damn partner high and dry"! Lawler: "It looks to me like there's something we don't know about the story of this team J.R., cause you're exactly right"! CRUZ PULLED HIMSELF UP OFF THE MAT AS JIMMY HART LED HIS VICTORIOUS TEAM UP THE RAMP. J.R.: "The Hart Family has won what became a damn handicap match"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING BY WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. Todd Grisham: "Crystal, tonight Jamal will face Trevor Murdoch one on one. This must be a match you're looking forward to after what happened between you and Murdoch at DoomsDay". Crystal Carmichael: "Oh, you mean when he spit his nasty ass dip in my face? No man will ever...... CRYSTAL LOOKS UP TO SEE LANCE CADE AND TREVOR MURDOCH AND SHE STARTS TO GAG AS MURDOCH IS ABOUT TO SPIT AGAIN. BUT FROM BEHIND, THEY ARE ATTACKED BY JAMAL AND ROSEY. Grisham: "Whoa"! THE 4 MEN ARE BRAWLING EVERYWHERE, DESTROYING THE BACKSTAGE AREA AS COUNTLESS OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS OF SECURITY RUSH IN TO STOP IT. MICK FOLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE, HUGE POP WEARING A PAIR OF BLACK SWEATS AND HIS TRADEMARK RED FLANNEL. J.R.: "That match between Murdoch and Jamal will take place later tonight but here comes our GM folks"! Lawler: "Get ready for a cheap pop"! Mick Foley: "Wow, what a turnout tonight. Before I get to King of the Ring, let me say, it feels great to be here tonight in Mobile, Alabama"! THE CROWD WILDLY CHEERS. Lawler: "Told you". Foley: "So, King of the Ring. At DoomsDay, the boy genius, Shane McMahon and I, agreed that an event in which Rampage would face PrimeTime was absolutely necessary. We pitched around several ideas as far as what to do and I think you're all going to like what he and I came up with. This is what's going to happen. Both Rampage and PrimeTime will have a sixteen man, single elimination tournament. The winners of each will pick two men from their own division to battle in a six man tag team elimination match. And when I say anyone, I mean anyone! Oh, and the first match of our tournament is coming up.... next"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR PURINA DOG CHOW IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TWIX. *DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, RESULTS WILL BE SEMI-CONDENSED FROM THIS POINT. RETURN FROM BREAK....... RINGSIDE...... King of the Ring Tournament First Round Mackenzie Rose vs. Matt Hardy w/ Johnny Jeter This was a great match as Hardy looked like was going to make it two in a row over Rose. But Rose got back into it with a boot to the face. He then tried to catch him with a slingshot clothesline but Jeter shook the ring ropes and he crashed to the mat. Sensing this was the case, referee Scott Martin sent Jeter to the back. Matt kicked Rose in the gut and went for the "Twist of Fate" but Rose pushed him to the ropes and threw a clothesline. Matt ducked and hit the other side but Rose caught him and turned him over with a perfect powerslam, hooking the leg to get the 3 count and avenge his loss at DoomsDay. Match Time: 8:09 BACKSTAGE...... STACY SNOW AND VISCERA ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK. Stacy Snow: "I know Vis, but I should've been out there sooner, you would've never lost to that punk Darko". Viscera: "Yeah, but the thing is you came out. No one's ever cared like that before. STACY GETS A WEIRD LOOK ON HER FACE AS VISCERA MOVES IN CLOSER. So I just wanted to say thank you". STACY TRIES TO SQUIRM FREE BUT VIS PULLS HER IN AND KISSES HER GOOD. SHE PULLS AWAY AND SEEMS VERY SHOCKED, AND MAYBE A LITTLE DISGUSTED BUT VIS IS ALL SMILES. Viscera: "Good luck tonight girl". STACY TRIES TO WALK AWAY BUT HE SLAPS HER ON THE BUTT, STARTLING HER EVEN MORE. Lawler: "What the heck has she got herself into"? J.R.: "Looks like Viscera found himself a love interest King". Triple Threat/TWF Women's Title Match Stacy Snow vs. Alexis Laree vs. (c) Mystical w/ Derek Darko These 3 ladies gave one hell of a performance in which any of them could've won it. After catching Snow with a spin kick to the head, Mystical went to the top rope but Laree got up and dropkicked her off! Mystical went sprawling to the floor and Darko rushed over. In the ring, Laree and Snow continued to battle. Darko reached into his pocket and pulled out some kind of foreign object but Viscera came out from the back and smashed him from behind. In the ring, Laree had just hit a release northern lights suplex but when came off the top rope, Snow punched her in the midsection and then drilled her with the "Gambling Problem", rolling her up for the 1........2........3. Match Time: 12:08 "JUST A LIL' BIT" BY 50 CENT HIT, SETTING OFF A HUGE CELEBRATION FOR STACY SNOW AS A VERY BITTER MYSTICAL LEFT WITH DARKO, REALIZING HER LONG TITLE REIGN HAD JUST COME TO AN END. BACKSTAGE..... BRET HART IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN MICK FOLEY COMES UP. Foley: "Hey Bret, got somethin' to talk to ya about. Look, I know you just heard my announcement about King of the Ring and I know I'm not the only one thinking that whoever wins the tournament could select, as his two partners, you and the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels". Bret Hart: "What are you gettin' at"? Foley: "Well Bret, I really want to win this event. So I don't want anything like the past between you and HBK to stand in the way of the team. So tonight, I've booked the two of you in a match against Carney and Jason Oliver". Hart: "Whoa Mick, I don't know about that". Foley: "The match is signed man. Besides, I've already talked to Shawn and he's cool with it". FOLEY SLAPS BRET ON THE SHOULDER AND WALKS AWAY. BRET SEEMS VERY LEERY OF THE PROSPECTS OF THE MATCH. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL PARTY POKER.NET IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GATORADE. RETURN FROM BREAK....... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE SET OF THE MONEY PIT IS SHOWN AND MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON, A MIC IN HIS HANDS. Money Mike: "I don't want to b.s. a whole lot out here tonight, I want to cut right to the chase. At DoomsDay, Carney and I absolutely embarrassed two guys I used to look up to. Then, Ric Flair, my all time biggest idol, came to their aid. Flair, I said then that I didn't want to hurt you because I respect you too much. Well I went to my hotel that night and it hit me, what a huge mistake I had made. Ya see Ric, that was your last chance. Because as much I respect you, I want to remember the Flair of old. The one who really was the limosine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' and dealin' sun of a gun! Not the one who just says he is! So Ric, at King of the Ring, I want it official. I am issuing the challenge to you. The way I look at it, I am doing you a favor and I want you to look at it the same way. Ric, I'm beggin' you to call it a career man. As much as I hate to say it, you don't have it anymore. And not only that, after I do win our match, I want to hear from the Nature Boy himself, I want your blessing that the Horsemen name is in good hands". THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AS MIKE RAISES ONE ARM IN THE AIR AND STEPHANIE CLAPS IN SUPPORT. J.R.: "The challenge has been issued and I can only ask myself one question King, does this man know who he's dealing with"? Lawler: "Don't you mean, who he would've been dealing with ten years ago? This isn't the same Ric Flair that won sixteen world titles J.R., Money Mike just wants to do him a favor, it's called tough love"! J.R.: "No, it's called hallucinating King, this guy has totally let his ego take over"! BACKSTAGE..... TRISH STRATUS IS HAVING A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION WITH THE MAKE-UP LADY WHEN MISS HANCOCK COMES UP, BUTTING IN. Trish: "Ugh, excuse me". Miss Hancock: "What are you gonna do Trish, slap me? Go for it, but I'm still going to let you know that Porteau Enterprises is no joke. TRISH IS TRYING NOT TO LAUGH. And when you see your man, you can tell him that one of our associates wants him in the ring...... next week"! KING OF THE RING BRACKET Mackenzie Rose vs. Matt Hardy John Cena vs. Carlito Rey Mysterio vs. Max Ogden Strife vs. Derek Darko Jason Oliver vs. Shelton Benjamin Rob Storm vs. Austin Porteau Carney vs. Marty Jannetty Matt Cruz vs. Steven Richards King of the Ring Tournament First Round John Cena vs. Carlito Caribbean Cool Cena was on a mission here, really taking the fight to a suddenly reeling Carlito. Carlito stayed in the match with cheap manuevers like an undetected low blow and a thumb to the eye. But when he missed a swinging backhand off an irish whip, Cena hit a flying shoulder block before reaching down deep and lifting him up, dropping him right back down with the "F-U" for the emphatic win. Match Time: 6:22 CENA ADVANCES TO FACE MACKENZIE ROSE COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR IBM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TACO BELL. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... Trevor Murdoch w/ Lance Cade vs. Jamal w/ Rosey and Crystal Carmichael These two brawlers beat the heck out of each other and when Murdoch hit a flying bulldog off the middle turnbuckle, Crystal got up on the apron. This brought Cade over and he forcefully pulled her down. But fro behind, Rosey rammed Cade head first into the steel ring post and the distraction allowed Jamal to position himself, drillig Murdoch with a superkick and that led to the win for one half of the Rampage Tag Team champs. Match Time: 11:27 J.R.: "Tremendous win here for Jamal even if he did have to take the low road, it's not like Murdoch wouldn't have"! Lawler: "I gotta tell ya J.R., I'm ready for that tag team title match, that's gonna be a war"! J.R.: "I'm sure it is something we will witness soon enough. But folks, someone we won't see anytime soon is The Show, Joe Corey. STILL PICTURES ARE SHOWN FROM DOOMSDAY. After a very hard fought win over Jason Oliver, Corey had completed step one of his promise to personally destroy the Horsemen". Lawler: "But afterwards, Money Mike and Carney helped to see that that won't be happening". J.R.: "The prognosis is a broken fibula and it is an injury that will keep The Show out at least three months". Non-Title Match Paul Birchill vs. World Champ "High Octane" Damion West Birchill overpowered the new champion, really softening him up. But West wouldn't say die and when Birchill posted his left shoulder charging into the corner, Octane measured him and smoked him with the "Head on Collision" to get the win. Match Time: 6:54 COMMERCIAL....... A COMMERCIAL FOR MILWAUKEE's BEST IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR ONE A DAY MEN's. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Jason Oliver and Carney vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart and Shawn Michaels Oliver and Carney were able to isolate HBK in the ring, taking turns softening him up. After a shoulder breaker from Oliver, Michaels winced in pain as Carney tagged into the match. But Michaels ducked a spinning heel kick and drilled him with a flying forearm before nipping up and making the tag to the Hitman. Hart came in and schooled Carney, hitting a russian leg sweep, pendulum backbrekaer and an inverted elbow off the middle rope. But when he hit the ropes, Oliver stuck a knee in his back. Carney then hit the ropes but Hart punched him in the midsection and delivered the piledriver, folding Carney up to get the 3 count as Michaels prevented Oliver from making the save. THE CROWD WAS GOING NUTS AS HART AND MICHAELS STARED ACROSS THE RING FROM EACH OTHER. FINALLY, HART WALKED AWAY, SEEMINGLY LEAVING THE STAGE FOR MICHAELS. OFF AIR.........
