RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
RIGHT AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, MATT HARDY IS SHOWN IN THE FACE OF MICK FOLEY.
Matt Hardy: "So what is it Mick, are you afraid of Mattitude? Tell me why I haven't been used since you came around, huh? Tell me"!
Mick Foley: "If you'd stop spitting in my face, I would! Look Matt, I've always looked at you as one of the most talented guys in that locker room. But let's face it, this Mattitude stuff is crap. I want you to do something to not only get yourself noticed, but also to make people care! Ya think you can do that"?
FOLEY WALKS AWAY
Hardy (to himself): "You want me to make them care huh"?
"ACROSS THE NATION" COMES ON AS THE SHOT FADES OUT AND GOES INTO RAMPAGE's MONTAGE. THE ARENA THEN COMES INTO THE SHOT AND JIM ROSS OPENS THE BROADCAST ALONG WITH JERRY LAWLER AS "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS, BRINGING JAMAL AND ROSEY TO THE RING WITH THEIR BELTS.
No Disqualifications/No Count Outs Rampage Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. Jamal and Rosey With Crystal Carmichael barred from ringside, Cade and Murdoch threw everything at the champs. But they could not keep them down and Rosey fought free when they went for their finisher, the "Sweet and Sour". Jamal then superkicked Murdoch right onto a table that had been previously set up as Rosey caught Cade with a throw up Samoan drop. Jamal then went to the top rope and flew off with the Air Samoan splash, crashing through Murdoch and the table to get the 3 count. Match Time: 9:13 COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK..... FOLEY's OFFICE..... CAMERAS SHOW MELINA IN MICK FOLEY's OFFICE AS RAMPAGE RETURNS. Melina: "Come on, I know you saw what that little, that little bitch did to me last week! She'll learn quickly that people don't mess with me! So I am asking you right now for a shot at Stacy Snwo and her Women's title"! Foley: "Ya know Melina, it's an intriguing idea. But I recall someone else being involved in that match and that was Viscera and your good friend Johnny Blaze. So before I go and hand you a title shot, I'd like to see you and one of your Hollywood buddies in a mixed gender match against Stacy Snow and Big Vis! Have a nice day"! FOLEY WALKS AWAY AND MELINA JUST GIVES HIM THE EVIL EYE. Matt "Madik" Cruz vs. Paul Birchill Shortly into this match, Drew Blood joined J.R. and The King at the announce table and said he has been very disappointed in Birchill of late, adding that if he drops this match, he'll have to "deal with him". Cruz and Birchill put on a great match with Cruz trying to contain him on the mat but Birchill fighting his way up and catching him with a titl-a-whirl into a running powerslam. But after ducking a clothesline off an irish whip, Cruz countered a dropkick attempt and locked in the "Colorado Cloverleaf". Birchill quickly tapped out but referee Chad Patton was preoccupied by Drew Blood, who had come to the ring. Cruz got up and grabbed Patton but turned into a flying leg lariat takedown and Birchill covered him for the win, getting a very slight, hard to see grin out of Drew Blood. Match Time: 6:50 BACKSTAGE AREA...... JIMMY HART IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE BUT IS CONFRONTED BY CARNEY. Carney: "Come on Jimmy, why don't you talk about how good your Hart Family is now? Look, if you know what's good for you, you and your little group will stay as far away from the Horsemen's path as you can, cause you don't want a war with us". Jimmy Hart: "Uh.... I Uh....... JUST THEN, CARNEY IS HIT IN THE BACK FROM BEHIND BY SYLVAIN GRENIER WHO THEN PICKS UP THE MEGAPHONE AND SMASHES CARNEY OVER THE HEAD WITH IT WHEN HE GETS BACK UP. JIMMY HART AND GRENIER ARE VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AS IT APPEARS CARNEY HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN. Carlito Caribbean Cool vs. Rey Mysterio Carlito did everything in his power to break out of his slump and he really controlled the match with Rey. But Mysterio countered out of his reverse neckbreaker dropped and used a drop toehold to set up the 6-1-9. After that, he flew across the ring with a slingshot legdrop to get the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 8:08 BACKSTAGE AREA...... MICK FOLEY IS SHOWN WALKING BACKSTAGE, EATING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MOON PIE WHEN MAX OGDEN COMES UP. Max Ogden: "Jason Oliver? Jason Oliver, the guy I beat at King of the Ring, has a King of Cable title shot? This better be good Mick". Foley: "Look Max, I owe you no explanation. Oliver beat Shelton in the first round of the tournament, therefore, I thought he deserved a title shot. And ya know what? I make the matches around here, not you. Here........ HE REACHES INTO HIS POCKET. have a moon pie". FOLEY WALKS AWAY AND OGDEN DROPS THE MOON PIE ON THE FLOOR AND STOMPS ON IT AS THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, TRAVIS WAKEMAN APPROACHES SHAWN MICHAELS. Shawn Michaels: "Whoa, before you even get into it man, let me just answer your question. The superkick last week was an accident, I'm sorry. Kurt Angle would love for you to all believe I'm a bad guy but....... Travis Wakeman: "Look Shawn, it's not the superkick. It's what Bret Hart told me last week". Michaels: "Oh, and what might that be"? Wakeman: "It doesn't matter now, I got Angle to worry about tonight". TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger: Jason Oliver vs. Shelton Benjamin Both men had been introduced and were sizing each other up but before the bell could even sound to officially start it, Max Ogden came out with a steel chair and smashed Oliver over the head! Benjamin moved in to see what Ogden's problem was but Ogden turned and cracked him with the chair too, putting an official end to the match. BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS RUSH TO THE BACK TO SHOW BRET HART LYING ON THE GROUND IN A LOT OF PAIN SURROUNDED BY OFFICIALS AND EMTs. TODD GRISHAM MOVES IN TO SEE IF HE CAN FIND ANYTHING OUT. Todd Grisham: "Fans it seems Bret Hart has been attacked back here! We don't know exactly what has...... JUST THEN, SHAWN MICHAELS CAME UP. Shawn Michaels: "Find Angle! He did this, I saw him running away! Angle......... MICHAELS LEAVES, SEEMINGLY IN HOT PURSUIT OF ANGLE. Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. John Cena Back and forth this match went with each man looking for the knockout blow. After Cena hit a flying shoulder tackle followed by the 5 knuckle shuffle, Stephanie got involved, jumping on his shoulders. But he backed her straight into the corner and she crumpled to the mat. Snitsky came running to the ring and even though he was most likely after Money Mike, Cena nailed him with a running knee before he could even get in. But with referee Jose Mendez trying to help Steph up and out of the ring, Cena turned into a spear from an unknown man who Jim Ross identified as J.J. Ramplin, a brand new Rampage superstar. Ramplin rolled out of the ring as Money Mike got to his feet and put Cena down with the "Money Pit" and that got him the win. Match Time: 11:18 MONEY MIKE, STEPHANIE AND RAMPLIN WALKED UP THE RAMP, ALL HOLDING UP THE SIGN OF THE HORSEMEN AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... RETURN FROM BREAK....... RINGSIDE...... Mackenzie Rose and Strife vs. Austin Porteau and Derek Darko w/ Miss Hancock and Mystical Rose and Strife made up a very solid team while Darko and Porteau were loaded by miscommunication and two women who couldn't get along. As Porteau tried to seperate Miss Hancock and Mystical, Rose drilled Darko with a slingshot clothesline before tagging in Strife who came in and drove Darko into the mat with the "Wrong Destination" to get the victory. Match Time: 5:38 BACKSTAGE....... SHAWN MICHAELS IS SHOWN SEARCHING THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND YELLING ANGLE's NAMES, KICKING DOORS OPEN AND TIPPING THINGS OVER IN ANGER. MATT HARDY COMES TO THE RING AND CALLS OUT HIGH OCTANE, SAYING THE FACT THAT HE IS TWF WORLD CHAMPION IS A "JOKE". HIGH OCTANE QUICKLY COMES TO THE RING AND HARDY SAYS THAT IF HE CAN BE WORLD CHAMPION, ANYONE CAN. HARDY CHALLENGES HIM TO A TITLE MATCH NEXT WEEK AND HIGH OCTANE SOUNDS LIKE HE IS ALL READY TO GIVE IT TO HIM WHEN MICK FOLEY COMES OUT AND SAYS IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. HE TELLS HARDY THAT NO ONE WILL BE GIVEN A TITLE SHOT, TITLE SHOTS WILL BE EARNED. FOLEY MAKES THE MATCH FOR NEXT WEEK BUT MAKES IT NON-TITLE. BUT THEN, JOHNNY JETER BLINDSIDES OCTANE AND THAT LEADS TO A 2 ON 1 BEATDOWN FROM HE AND HARDY AND THAT LEADS TO ANOTHER BREAK. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... Travis Wakeman vs. Kurt Angle Wakeman and Angle put on an absolute mat classic here and the fans were really into the exchange. It was pure wrestling at it's best. Wakeman looked like he was going to get a tap out with a high angle fujiwara armbar but Angle broke it by getting to the ropes. Angle then took a missed clothesline and turned it into a german suplex but he threw him right into referee Jim Korderas. Angle went outside and got a chair but that's when he saw Shawn Michaels heading to the ring. Angle dropped the chair and waited for Michaels as it looked there was going to be a head on collision. But when Michaels got into the ring, he smashed Wakeman with his superkick right as he got to his feet! The crowd was in utter shock as Angle covered Wakeman while Michaels revived Korderas who rolled over to make the 1...........2.........3. Match Time: 10:25 ANGLE AND MICHAELS LEFT TO SOME EXTREME HEAT AS THE SHOW WENT OFF THE AIR......... OFF AIR..........
