Cincinati, Ohio
November 19, 2005
Fans in Cincinati have had plenty to cheer about this year with the resurgence of their Bengals. But they came out in swarms for Rampage which hadn't been in the area in 13 months. It was a somber night however, as news of Eddie Guerrero's death was still setting in.
King of the Ring 1st Round Carney vs. Marty Jannetty Carney has been a new man since becoming a Horsemen, but he got a little cocky here. After slapping Jannetty across the face twice, he pulled him in for the "C-Drive" but Jannetty countered into a quick roll up to get the big upset. Snitsky vs. Tyson Dux The newest member of the Rampage roster, Snitsky absolutely dominated the young Tyson Dux here, putting him away with a sidewinder slam. King of the Ring Tournament 1st Round Austin Porteau w/ Miss Hancock vs. Rob Storm This was one of the more interesting first round matchups in the whole tournament and these two men put on a great match. But after missing with a flying calf kick in the corner, Storm was hit with the "Corporate Ladder" and that was all she wrote. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
RAMPAGE STARTS WITH ANOTHER EMOTIONAL, WELL DONE VIDEO TRIBUTE TO EDDIE GUERRERO ACCOMPANIED BY CREED's "MY SACRIFICE". THE ARENA COMES INTO THE SHOT AS CHANTS OF "EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE" CAN BE HEARD. ONE OF HIS BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM LOW RIDERS IS PARKED ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP. THE 10 BELL SALUTE IS DONE AS THE CAMERA GETS SHOTS OF SEVERAL FANS WHO CAN'T KEEP THE TEARS IN. "VIVA LA RAZA" IS THEN HEARD, LEADING INTO EDDIE's FAMILIAR THEME SONG. Chris Platoon: "I woke up, and the moment I heard, it was unreal. I couldn't face it. I checked out all the websites to find out for sure and it was true. You're really gone. You had the passion Eddie and I will miss you. I know we never had the chance to meet at a SuperShow or anything. But, I really admire you. As a dedicated christian, I know you're in a better place. I pray to God each night that you are being taken care of and your in a peaceful place having the time of your life.
I watched every one of your matches and I am thankful that we were blessed with your presence on Earth. You lied, cheated and definetely stole my heart. I wish I was honored with the privelege of one day meeting you, but, that won't happen now. You have been a great champion and you will be a champion forever in my eyes.
I wish one more time I could see your cheeky smerk, your hydraulics in your lowrider or your classic lying, cheating and stealing way to victory. As a man of faith myself, I will see you one day, in the heavens and we will be good friends. I wanted to have a match against you but that is no longer possible, so, when we meet we are gonna put on the show of our life in front of God. May you rest in peace. Peace out".
COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CAPITOL ONE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BURGER KING. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... RAMPAGE RETURNS WITH THE BRAND NEW THEME SONG OF THE HART FAMILY PLAYING AND JIMMY HART IS LEADING MAX OGDEN DOWN THE RAMP TO THE RING. J.R.: "We welcome you back to a very special edition of TWF Rampage and King, not only are we celebrating the life and great career of Eddie Guerrero tonight, but the King of the Ring tournament is continuing as well". Lawler: "John Cena and Mackenzie Rose were able to advance last week and tonight, we're gonna find out whose gonna join them"! "BOOYAKA 619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDER THE RAMP TO A HUGE POP AS HE WAS VERY OVER WITH THIS CROWD. J.R.: "Interesting match to start things here as Rey Mysterio will take on one of Jimmy Hart's boys and you've gotta call this is serious contrast in styles King". Lawler: "Max Ogden has done nothing but impress me since he showed up here on Rampage but Rey Mysterio is possibly the best little man we've ever seen in the TWF"! J.R.: "I'd have to second that notion and with the passing of Rey's good friend Eddie Guerrero, he might be able to win this one on emotion alone"! Lawler: "Rey Rey and Latino Heat were like family J.R. and you're right, it'll be a huge challenge for Ogden to overcome all of that tonight"! King of the Ring Tournament 1st Round Max Ogden w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Rey Mysterio As soon as the bell sounded, Rey baited Ogden into chasing him around the ring after slapping him across the face. After circling the ring 3 times, Rey slid back in the ring. Ogden followed but ate a basement dropkick and the fans were enjoying it already. Rey went to the apron, looking for a quick win but when he tried to slingshot himself into the ring, Ogden got up and kicked him right into the head, knocking him to the floor. He followed him out and lifted him onto his shoulder, trying to run him into the ring post. But Rey slipped off and gave him a shove into the post. He then whipped him into the barricade before getting back in the ring and hitting the ropes, looking for a flying plancha. But Ogden was able to move out of the way. He pulled Rey, who was obviously hurt, up and rolled him into the ring, getting back in himself. Ogden then went into a reverse side headlock, looking to wear the much smaller Mysterio down. But just when it looked like Rey was going to go out, the crowd got behind him in a big way and willed him to his feet. He then drove an elbow into the midsection of Ogden 3 times to create some seperation before hitting the ropes and connecting with his wheelbarrow bulldog. Just then, Jimmy Hart got up on the apron but Rey took a swing at him. Hart was able to duck and referee Jimmy Korderas pulled Rey away from him before going back to Hart, warning him to get down. But he had dropped his megaphone in the ring and Ogden was in possession of it, smashing Rey in the head as he turned away before slinging the evidence across the ring. Rey held his head in pain as Ogden topped him and hooked the leg and Korderas hit the mat 3 times, giving him the win. Match Time: 7:32 BACKSTAGE AREA..... CAMERAS SHIFT TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA TO FIND STACY SNOW AND VISCERA IN THE OFFICE OF MICK FOLEY. STACY HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE WITH HER. Stacy Snow: "Mick, you've got to do something, this is ridiculous". Mick Foley: "Stacy I wish I could, but I've read Mystical's contract up and down, it clearly states that she could name the first opponent of the woman who took the Women's title from her". Stacy: "So I have to face Darko tonight"? Foley: "I'm afraid so". Stacy: "Ugh". Viscera: "Well just so you know Mick, I'm going to the ring with her". BACK IN THE RING, A VERY HAPPY DEREK DARKO AND MYSTICAL ARE WAITING THE ARRIVAL OF STACY SNOW WHEN "JUST A LIL' BIT" BY 50 CENT HITS AND SHE APPEARS WITH VISCERA AND HER WOMEN's TITLE BELT. J.R.: "Well I gotta say that this is appauling King! Stacy Snow, our brand new Women's champion, is being forced to get into the ring with a damn man here"! Lawler: "Appauling to you, but genius on Mystical's part! She actually added this as a provision to her contract"! J.R.: "I'm just glad Stacy's got some backup tonight in the form of the five hundred pound Viscera"! Intergender Match Derek Darko w/ Mystical vs. Women's Champion Stacy Snow w/ Viscera Viscera warned Darko not to put his hands on Stacy from the floor but Darko just laughed in his direction. But Stacy ran over with a forearm to the face of Darko before kicking him in the back of the legs. Darko threw a clothesline but missed and Stacy got him in a headlock and used the ropes to spring around into a tornado DDT. The fans couldn't believe what they were seeing as the new Women's champ came off the middle rope with an elbow onto Darko. She made the cover but Darko pressed her off. Mystical came around and got in the face of Viscera, running an obvious distraction. Stacy saw this and had some words with Mystical but Darko got up and loaded his boot and when Stacy turned around, he kicked her right in the face, jacking her head back! He then covered her and referee Jack Doan issued the 3 count. Match Time: 4:48 J.R.: "He got her"! J.R.: "You're damn right he did"! VISCERA GOT INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON STACY AS DARKO AND MYSTICAL GOT OUT IN A HURRY AS DARKO's MUSIC HIT. Lawler: "I think Viscera's checkin' to see if Stacy's teeth went down her throat"! J.R.: "Yeah, well I sure hope those two are proud of themselves! A PROMO GRAPHIC IS DISPLAYED SHOWING TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH ON ONE SIDE WHILE ON THE OTHER IS MISS HANCOCK, AUSTIN PORTEAU AND IRWIN R. SCHYSTER. Still to come tonight folks, Travis Wakeman will go one on one with the tough tax man, I.R.S."! Jason Oliver: "Eddie to me was a friend, he has had demons in his past only a few can even
comprehend. I remember watching him back when I was younger and it was the
most amazing thing, he defined how heels should act.
His ability to entertain the fans will be missed, it's still hard to believe
as I had a talk with Eddie the night before regarding my contract and
whether I was going to re-sign or not. Eddie said I had talent and I should.
we parted ways at the end of the night and the next time I heard of him he
had passed on. Eddie was a lot of things to a lot of people but to me he was this, a father figure, he was one of my best friends on Rampage and I can't
believe he’s gone. I still can barley believe it, my love goes out to Vicky
and his gorgeous daughters also to the rest of the Guerrero family. Rest in peace Eddie, you will be missed". COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR XBOX 360 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR SMACKDOWN VS. RAW 2006 FOR PS2. AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM DURING THE BREAK OF SECURITY GETTING INVOLVED IN A HEATED VERBAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN KARAM IBRAHIM AND MATT CRUZ THAT WAS MOMENTS AWAY FROM BECOMING PHYSICAL. BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "I'LL SHOW YOU, YOU'LL SEE" IS HEARD AND OUT COMES STEVEN RICHARDS TO LITTLE RESPONSE. J.R.: "You just saw footage of a near fight breaking out between two guys whose friendship seems to have soured King". Lawler: "Oh yeah and I saw the look in Karam Ibrahim's eyes, he was about to throw the right hand"! "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND THE FANS STEADILY GROW LOUDER AS MATT CRUZ COMES OUT IN HIS ORANGE AND BLACK TIGHTS TO A LOUD CHEER. J.R.: "This will be another first round matchup in the King of the Ring tournament but as if Cruz didn't have enough to worry about with his one time friend and tag team partner, now he has to face Steven Richards"! Lawler: "And Steven Richards being the wily veteran he is, he's exactly the type of guy who could use this to his advantage"! King of the Ring Tournament 1st Round Matt Cruz vs. Steven Richards Richards started the match by trying to frustrate the former NCAA wrestling champion. They tied up and Cruz backed him to the corner but when referee Chad Patton asked for a break, Richards got in a cheap slap across the face. Cruz tried to come at him but Richards ducked his head in between the ring ropes, allowing Patton to pull Cruz away. Richards came out and asked for a test of strength but when Cruz went for it, he kicked him in the gut before hitting the ropes but Cruz responded with a huge overhead belly to belly throw. That set the tone for Cruz who began to pummel Richards, shooting him to the corner and following in with a running forearm shot. Richards stumbled right into a double underhook suplex and Cruz then showed a side of himself we haven't seen, going to the top rope and executing a perfect moonsault. But instead of going for the cover, he pulled Richards, who was fading fast, up in a front facelock before delivering a nasty tilting fisherman buster to get the 1......2......3. Match Time: 5:42 J.R.: "And Cruz has won in convincing fashion"! Lawler: "Wow J.R., it looks like the confrontation with Ibrahim only fueled the fire for Cruz here tonight"! "THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYED AS CRUZ LEFT, BUT HE STILL SEEMED VERY UNSATISFIED. J.R.: "It's the first in many steps for Cruz if he wants to win this tournament as he will now move to the next round to face Marty Jannetty". BACKSTAGE....... BRET HART IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS WALKS UP. Shawn Michaels: "Hey Bret, I had to come over and say good match last week. I mean, I really think Foley had a good idea in teaming us up because should the winner of the King of the Ring tournament select us as his partners, for whatever reason they would, I think Rampage stands a good chance of winning at King of the Ring". Bret Hart: "You're right Shawn, we had a good match last week. There's only one problem. I still don't trust you". HART WALKS AWAY AND MICHAELS LOOKS DOWN, SEEMING A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. ALL OF A SUDDEN, A VIDEO PACKAGE BEGINS TO ROLL, PROMINENTLY FEATURING RIC FLAIR. IT STARTS BY SHOWING THE NIGHT TERRY FUNK PILEDROVE HIM THROUGH A TABLE AND BREAKING HIS NECK, DIRECTLY AFTER HE WON THE NWA TITLE FROM RICKY STEAMBOAT WHEN FLAIR REFUSED TO GIVE FUNK A SHOT AT THE BELT.
FROM THERE, IT SHOWS HIM FACING STING AT WCW's GREAT AMERICAN BASH AND DESPITE HAVING PLENTY OF HELP ON HIS SIDE, STILL LOSING. IT THEN FORWARDS TO WWE WRESTLEMANIA 8 WHEN RANDY SAVAGE DEFEATED HIM FOR THE WORLD TITLE FOLLOWED BY HULK HOGAN ARRIVING IN WCW. FLAIR IMMEDIATELY ISSUED A CHALLENGE TO THE HULKSTER, PUTTING THE WCW TITLE ON THE LINE, ONLY TO LOSE IT TO HIM AT WCW's BASH AT THE BEACH. IT THEN SHOWS THE HORSEMEN IN WCW TRYING TO BATTLE A NEW GROUP.... THE nWo. FLAIR GOT HIS HEAD SMASHED INSIDE A STEEL CAGE DOOR WHEN HIS PARTNER THAT NIGHT, CURT HENNIG TURNED ON HIM. FINALLY, THE VIDEO GETS A FLASHBACK OF THE NIGHT HE HAD A HEART ATTACK IN THE RING ON WCW NITRO AND THE PACKAGE ENDS WITH THE LOOK ON FLAIR's FACE AFTER EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS. Audio voiceover: "This message was approved by Money Mike's Last Match for Flair campaign. A SHOT OF MONEY MIKE HOLDING UP THE 4 HORSEMEN SYMBOL IS SHOWN. THE LIGHTS IN THE ARENA GO OUT AND A RED HAZE FALLS OVER THE CROWD AS DREW BLOOD's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, JUSTIN SANE IS SHOWN, ALREADY IN THE RING. J.R.: "What the hell was that"? Lawler: "It looked to me like some sort of campaign Money Mike has started". J.R.: "A last match for Flair campaign? Who the hell does Money Mike think he is?! Does he need to be reminded that Ric Flair is the greatest wrestler of his, mine and anyone else's time?! For God sake have some respect, I mean........ Lawler: "Now, now J.R., let's not get carried away". J.R.: "Oh I'm not gonna get carried away, I would just like to see the Nature Boy take Money Mike to the woodshed, that's all"! Drew Blood vs. Justin Sane Justin Sane provided little challenge to an angry Drew Blood here. After shooting the former World champ to the corner, Sane went for a monkey flip but Drew Blood blocked it and then kicked him right in the head as he tried to get up. Drew then aggressively pulled him up before delivering the "BloodBath" to get the 3 count. Match Time: 3:18 J.R.: "You talk about an impressive performance, that was totally one sided"! Lawler: "I would not want to be an opponent of this man right now". Drew Blood: "Turn the music off! High Octane, you see this? (pointing at Sane) Well ya know what, the next person who is gonna be down in the ring like this chump, is going to be you! That's right, I've decided to use my rematch clause to get my property back, only this time, I want to do it my way. I only had about a week to prepare for you, one week! And like I said, the sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then. So this time, we'll have plenty of time to prepare for one another, because there will be no choice but to prepare, to train for this match. Ya see Octane, I want to see if you can prove you're not the next one hit wonder, I want to see if you actually can get technical and wrestle in this ring! So what I'm saying is that you and mean, one on one at King of the Ring for thirty full minutes.... Iron Man match"! J.R.: "Oh my, that'd be a hell of a match folks"! Lawler: "Is Octane even here tonight"? JUST THEN, HIGH OCTANE APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON, INSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM. J.R.: "There he is"! High Octane: "Hey Dracula, up here. No, I'm not gonna go out there so you can have your doctor friend jump me from behind. But as for your challenge, I actually like the idea. Because there is nothing I'd like more than to prove I can hang with anyone in that ring, by beating you in an Iron Man match. So you got it.... I'll see ya there". THE TWF TRON CUTS OUT BUT THE FANS ARE FULL OF CHEERS AS DREW BLOOD HAS A LITTLE SMIRK ON HIS FACE. J.R.: "It's gonna happen folks! Drew Blood and High Octane are gonna get it on again, at King of the Ring"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR NIKE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD FOR THEIR THANKSGIVING DAY LINEUP. RETURN FROM BREAK..... Max Ogden: "Eddie Guerrero was someone I actually got to meet, and I probably wouldn't be here if I hadn't met him. Now, everyone knows now how Shawn Michaels, Hawk, Animal, Bulldog and the guys I got to meet and become close
friends with helped me get over my drug problem, but the thing that capped it off was the day I spent with Eddie... He... He got through all of
those hardships, all of the addictions he had... And gave us an addiction...
An addiction to Eddie. He could make you smile at a funeral, he could make you cry on your birthday and make you mad on the best day of your life.
And we loved him for all of that. Eddie... He was simply the best all around
person the wrestling, and overall world, has ever seen. As a wrestler, the best ever. I'd compare him with Owen, Bret, Shawn, Rocky, Austin,
Steamboat, LOD, The British Bulldog, and even Dynamite Kid, any day of the
year. My opinion isn't changing and I'm not saying this for the reason of
him passing on. He was simply the best performer, and the most influential person I've ever met.
Ogden pauses for a few seconds...
The guy just... impacted you. A single smile would bring one to your own face. And unfortunately I never got to wrestle him, and
unfortunately never will on this planet of earth. But eventually, I hope
that I can wrestle Eddie, but more importantly, I hope I can meet someone
even half as good a soul as Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero, you will never
be forgotten, te amo mucho Eddie Guerrero. Adios amigo, gracias por
todo. Le amamos Eddie, le amamos". BACKSTAGE..... TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH THE KING OF CABLE, SHELTON BENJAMIN. Todd Grisham: "Shelton, earlier this week on PrimeTime, Ted Dibiase issued a challenge to you to put your King of Cable title on the line against his man, Rob Conway. Are you ready to accept this challenge"? Shelton Benjamin: "Ya know Todd, Conway and Dibiase say he is the Money Man, well it's time for them to put their money where their mouths are, they want a shot at this....... what the hell do you want"? JUST THEN, DIBIASE COMES INTO THE SHOT. Ted Dibiase: "I said I'd be here to hear your answer. But is it just me, or have we met before? DIBIASE LOOKS HIM UP AND DOWN. Nah, Virgil was a little bigger than you. Anyway, we all know that PrimeTime is the number one division here in the TWF, so it'd only be appropriate for us to have that title, don't you think"? DIBIASE LETS OUT ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK LAUGHS AND SHELTON IS OBVIOUSLY STEAMED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE HART FAMILY's MUSIC HITS AND JIMMY HART LEADS OUT SYLVAIN GRENIER, CARRYING HIS MEGAPHONE. J.R.: "So it sounds to me like we've got a cross division matchup at King of the Ring and the King of Cable title is going to be on the line"! Lawler: "Well I didn't hear Shelton officially accept the challenge but he will after what Dibiase just said to him". THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET AND LET OUT LOUD CHEERS AND SCREAMS AS BRET HART's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT IN HIS BLACK SHADES AND JACKET. J.R.: "Well we already saw one of Jimmy Hart's guys get a win tonight thanks to the use of his megaphone but here's a guy that knows all of the Mouth of the South's tricks"! Lawler: "I gotta agree with you J.R., many moons ago Jimmy Hart actually managed the Hitman and if Sylvain Grenier is to have any chance of winning this match, he needs to have the night of his life"! J.R.: "Oh look out"! BEFORE THE BELL EVEN SOUNDED, JIMMY HART AND GRENIER SCAMPERED OUT OF THE RING AS KURT ANGLE, WEARING STREET CLOTHES, CAME FROM THE CROWD AND ATTACKED HART FROM BEHIND, PUTTING ON A SAVAGE ASSAULT. FINALLY, ANGLE LEFT AND HART HAD BEEN DECIMATED. J.R.: "It's been awhile since we've seen Kurt Angle after Stephanie McMahon put him on that suspension without pay and my God, he has come back and beaten the hell out of Bret Hart"! Lawler: "This all dates back to MeltDown J.R. when Hart showed up to accept Angle's open challenge"! J.R.: "Well here comes Shawn Michaels". WITH ANGLE OUT OF SIGHT, MICHAELS GOT INTO THE RING TO HELP HART UP ALONG WITH REFEREE JOSE MENDEZ. BUT WHEN HE SAW MICHAELS, HART SHOVED HIM TO THE MAT! HE THEN TRIED TO GO AFTER HIM BUT A SURPRISED MICHAELS ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND THREW HIS HANDS UP SAYING "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM"?! J.R.: "Oh come on, he doesn't think...... Lawler: "I think he does J.R.! Bret Hart thinks Michaels had something to do with this"! J.R.: "These two have gotta get over their issues, you've got to put the past behind you"! BACKSTAGE...... MACKENZIE ROSE IS SHOWN TALKING WITH MARTY JANNETTY WHEN JOHN CENA COMES UP. John Cena: "What's up boys"? Marty Jannetty: "Hey John". Cena: "I just thought I should meet my next open in this tournament we got goin' on. Mackenzie, I don't think we've had the priviledge". THE TWO MEN SHAKE HANDS. Mackenzie Rose: "No, but I've heard you, I think everyone's heard you". Cena: "I hope that's not intended as an insult. But I did want to mention that I respect the fact that you've won like eighty seven titles in your wrestling career, but next week on TWF Main Event, you'll be out of the King of the Ring". CENA WALKS AWAY AND ROSE DOESN'T SEEM INTIMIDATED. Travis Wakeman: "When I think of Eddie Guerrero, one thing comes to mind. I mean, we all know how good he was in the ring, but I don't want to talk about wrestling. I want to talk about what a great inspiration this man was to anyone who has had their struggles. Here you had a guy who could've given up so easily, so easily. We wouldn't be celebrating him the way we are if he had. Eddie Guerrero deserves to be remembered this way for who he was, for overcoming the odds and from taking himself from the bottom and getting everything back, regaining his life, and becoming a man we can all draw from. So the next time you think things are bad, realize that our good friend Eddie Guerrero is looking over your shoulder, telling you it's not over. (Wakeman's eyes are filled with tears) Eddie, you are going to be missed like no other. I will always pass along your message and I will always remember what a great man you were. I love you bro, I'll see you again". "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND OUT COMES SHELTON BENJAMIN TO A BIG CHEER. HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "Continuing here on Rampage is our final first round match in the King of the Ring tournament and it involves our King of Cable"! Lawler: "And he's got the mic". Shelton Benjamin: "Hey Dibiase, I was thinkin', with you bringing up Virgil and all, it reminded me of something you used to carry around..... your Million Dollar title! I'll put the King of Cable title on the line at King of the Ring against your Money Man, if you put the Million Dollar title up for grabs as well"! BENJAMIN DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS, LEADING TO A HOARD OF BOOS AND JASON OLIVER MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. J.R.: "Sounds fair to me". Lawler: "He wants the Million Dollar title? I haven't seen that thing in years"! J.R.: "This will be a non-title match between Shelton Benjamin and the youngest member of the Horsemen, Jason Oliver and looking at the bracket here, the winner will meet Austin Porteau in the next round". King of the Ring Tournament 1st Round King of Cable Shelton Benjamin vs. Jason Oliver In order to combat the slight size advantage Oliver had, Benjamin used his speed and pure athletic ability to gain an advantage. But when he tried to propel himself from the apron with a clothesline takedown, Oliver turned it into a sidewalk slam followed by a big elbow drop to get a 2 count. Oliver then lifted Benjamin over his head with a gorilla press before just throwing him into the ring ropes. Oliver began to take control of the match, but he couldn't keep Shelton down and after reversing an irish whip to the corner, Benjamin caught him with the Stinger splash. He then hooked him up for the t-bone suplex but he turned to see Ted Dibiase coming down the aisle. Dibiase got the attention of referee Scott Martin which allowed Rob Conway to do what Kurt Angle did earlier, coming through the crowd with the Million Dollar title belt and smashing Benjamin right in the head! Conway hurriedly got out of the ring and Oliver covered Benjamin, hooking a leg to get the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 7:55 J.R.: "No! Shelton Benjamin has been robbed here"! Lawler: "These two jerks from PrimeTime have come to Rampage to proclaim their desire to have one of our titles, not just verbally, but now physically"! DIBIASE LAUGHED AS HE WALKED AWAY AND BENJAMIN LOOKED ON FROM IN THE RING, NOT LOOKING ALL THAT HAPPY. J.R.: "Well those two men will meet at King of the Ring and no offense to anyone on PrimeTime, but that's our title and it's not goin' anywhere"!
JOE COREY IS SHOWN FROM HIS HOME IN BOSTON. Joe Corey: "Eddie, when I heard the news of your passing, I was in total shock. We never got the chance to meet in the ring one on one, but that one night we met in a tag team match will go down as one of the greatest matches of my career. You'll certainly go down as the greatest man to have never held the TWF World Heavyweight Championship, but to those of us that knew you for who you truly were, you were the champion of champions. I wish I could have been there last week to see you one last time, but this injury made that impossible. Believe me when I say that you are in a better place Eddie, and one day, we will meet again, and we will lie, cheat, and steal from all the angels and saints. I love you Eddie, and I'll miss you". COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR DENTYNE ICE MINTS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NEW HARRY POTTER MOVIE. Money Mike: "The passing of a future TWF legend certainly shook the wrestling world
this past week. I for one was one that took it hard. Eddie and I were very good friends backstage. Eddie was all about the business and to know that I will never get a chance to step into the ring with him hurts me even more. I just hope that
the Guerrero family can bounce back from this loss and continue their great family name in this business. We miss you Eddie, you were one of a
kind amigo, you lied, you cheated and you stole our hearts, good bye my friend, I'll see you soon enough". AUSTIN PORTEAU's MUSIC HITS AND HE APPEARS WITH THE DUO OF MISS HANCOCK AND IRWIN R. SCHYSTER, WHO IS CARRYING A BRIEFCASE. THEY ARE WELCOMED BY SOME HEAVY BOOS. J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and we are ready for our main event! For those of you who did not see DoomsDay, Austin Porteau brought a couple of goons with him and still couldn't defeat Travis Wakeman, IRS was one of them"! Lawler: "Well you might think he looks funny with what he's wearing, but mark my words folks, this guy can wrestle"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT WITH TRISH STRATUS TO A HUGE POP. J.R.: "And I will attest to that, but so can this man". Lawler: "Well I get the impression J.R. that Porteau is going to stop at nothing to get IRS the win here tonight"! Irwin R. Schyster w/ Austin Porteau and Miss Hancock vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Trish Stratus Both men delayed the start of this match as they looked for a spot to attack. Finally, they locked up and went into some basic chain wrestling. IRS had a side headlock cinched in but Wakeman stood up and took him over with a backdrop suplex. He then came off the middle turnbuckle with a flying clothesline but when he pulled him up, IRS got in a lowblow that referee Jim Korderas never saw. IRS then used a lot of rest holds to wear Wakeman down annd after nice Samoan drop, IRS waited for Miss Hancock to get on the apron. Korderas was obviously distracted by Miss Hancock lifting up her skirt as Porteau came in the ring with the briefcase. But Wakeman ducked when he tried to hit him with it and it struck Schyster! Wakeman then tossed Porteau over the top rope as Trish came around and pulled Miss Hancock off the apron, blasting her with a right forearm to the face. Wakeman then lifted IRS up and dropped him right back down with the "Royal Flush" to end a long, hard fought match. Match Time: 12:35 J.R.: "He got him! Wakeman has once again taken all Austin Porteau and his associates could dish out and came away victorious"! Lawler: "That was a great win J.R., I thought IRS had him"! Travis Wakeman: "Thank you, I appreciate that, you guys are great. But tonight is not about me, no, tonight is only about one man. So guys, if you could hit the appropriate theme song.......... "VIVA LA RAZA" WAS HEARD AND EDDIE GUERRERO's MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN AS ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE WAS SHOWN. THE FANS CAME TO THEIR FEETING, VERY LOUDLY CHANTING "EDDIE" AS WAKEMAN AND TRISH STOOD IN THE RING APPLAUDING, BOTH IN TEARS AS THE SHOW CAME TO AN END. OFF AIR........
