Phoenix, Arizona
Attendance: 8, 690
February 7, 2006
It had been four years since this division of the TWF made it's way to the desert and on that night, fans were treated to 3 huge title matches. But on this night, with the Royal Rumble in the rear view mirror, the road to WrestleMania 7 was officially underway. Mackenzie Rose vs. Buck Quartermain (invitee) Many insiders see 2006 as being a big year for Mackenzie Rose and he showed why in this match, taking it to Quartermain and defeating him with the "Davidson Driver". Marty Jannetty vs. Finlay Finlay's theme music starts with the quote "I love to fight" and Jannetty found that out in this battle of ring veterans. Jannetty was able to take some of Finlay's best shots but he missed with a missile dropkick and was caught with a running knee to the side of the head. Finlay then picked him up and delivered a nasty reverse DDT style drop to get the pin. Strife vs. Dan Maff (invitee) Dan Maff, one of the hottest names on the indy circuit, provided an imposing challenge for the Locomotive here. But Strife was able to avoid a clothesline off an irish whip before drilling Maff with a running boot. Maff countered the "Wrong Destination" though and hit the ropes, only to run right into Strife's swinging chokeslam, a move we haven't seen in awhile but a favorite among longtime TWF fans and that got him the victory. "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY P.O.D. PLAYED AND STRIFE CELEBRATED THE WIN AS THE SHOT FADED OUT AND THE TWF LOGO FLASHED ACROSS THE SCREEN. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
RIGHT AS RAMPAGE GOES LIVE, THE HORSEMEN THEME LOUDLY HITS AND THE ENTIRE GROUP COMES OUT, LED BY STEPHANIE McMAHON. MONEY MIKE HAS THE WORLD TITLE DRAPED OVER HIS SHOULDER AND HE HAS A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. Jim Ross: "We welcome you to TWF Rampage here on USA and for those of you who did not witness the 2006 Royal Rumble, as you can see, we have a brand new World champion"! Jerry Lawler: "And here comes the dominant group here on Rampage J.R., The Horsemen have all the power"! J.R.: "Well I know they'd like to have that King of Cable title as well but the Hart Family's Max Ogden made off with that! But getting back to the World title, High Octane got screwed worse than anyone I have ever seen! Money Mike did not win that title alone folks and don't let him tell you he did"! Lawler: "No, it was the Starman of all people, the man considered the main person responsible for the demise of the GSE, who helped Money Mike defeat High Octane"! J.R.: "Well he's got the microphone so let's listen to what he has to say". Money Mike: "If possible, I would like all of you people here to shut up, because the World champ has the floor! RESOUNDING BOOS ECHO THROUGH THE ARENA. Now I know that might be hard since everyone in Phoenix has an extremely low IQ, but do your best please. At the Royal Rumble, I did exactly what I said I was gonna do and I became the new TWF World champion! HE HOLDS THE TITLE UP AS THE CROWD BOOS SOME MORE. And despite that son of a bitch Starman showing up in my match, I have severed all ties with the GSE and I would appreciate if no one mentions it ever again! I am the TWF World champion. I have yet to taste defeat here in the TWF and quite frankly, there's not a man on Rampage who can beat me! That includes you Joe Corey! I understand that you feel that because you and I have issues, you are next in line for a World title shot! Well guess what, you're not! You are not even in my league Joe Corey, you proved that when you couldn't win the World title! So you can continue your courageous quest to go through the Horsemen in order to get to me, but it will never happen! I........ JUST THEN, MICK FOLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. J.R.: "Here comes the general manager and King, I think you can say business is picking up here on Rampage"! Mick Foley: "Now before you get too far ahead of yourself Mike, I thought I would come out here and make one thing crystal clear. You're right, you did beat High Octane and you are the new World champion. But, I have never heard of a champion not getting a rematch unless it was in his contract that he doesn't. Well it just so happens that High Octane did have a rematch clause in the contract and he has decided to excerise that clause right here tonight, in Phoenix, Arizona"! J.R.: "Oh my gosh, that's huge"! Lawler: "We're gonna have a Royal Rumble rematch right here tonight J.R., for the World title"! Stephanie McMahon: "Ya know what Mick, that's fine! I'm not sure if you've realized this or not, but Mike hasn't lost a match in almost a year! So bring High Octane out for his rematch, he'll just go down again! Oh and by the way, if you give us your little have a nice day line, I'll kick you where the sun don't shine, which of course, you might not even feel"! Foley: "And I don't want to be put in that position because if I were to retaliate, I might knock some of the plastic off ya and I know these fine folks in Phoenix wouldn't appreciate that"! Lawler: "Ohhhhh! He can't talk to the billion dollar princess like that"! J.R.: "He just did"! FOLEY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT THE HORSEMEN IN THE RING AND THE GROUP WAS NOT HAPPY WITH HIS COMMENT. BACKSTAGE AREA....... SHAWN MICHAELS IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN KURT ANGLE COMES UP. Kurt Angle: "Shawn, there you are. I've been trying to get a hold of you since our match at the Royal Rumble, where have you been"? Shawn Michaels: "I've just been thinking Kurt. I've been thinking about wrestling, along with some things that have nothing to do with wrestling". Angle: "Well it's a damn good thing you didn't return any of my calls! Because of you, we lost our match to Wakeman and Bret Hart and because of you, I didn't get to enter the Royal Rumble, which everyone knows I would've won if I did! So tonight, I don't even know who my damn opponent is, it doesn't matter! I just want you to watch real close so you can see exactly what a frickin' winner looks like"! ANGLE WALKS AWAY AND MICHAELS LOOKS ON WITH HIS MIND SEEMINGLY SOMEWHERE ELSE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR PSP. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... The Bashams vs. Hollywood Heat w/ Melina Melina brought her boys to the ring with her newly won Women's title. Mercury and Blaze controlled the match against Doug and Danny, who we haven't seen too much of lately. Hollywood Heat was able to do what the Bashams have been so good at and that is double team their opponents. They had Danny trapped in the ring, taking it to him. After they knocked Doug off the apron, they had Danny set up for the "Director's Cut" but suddenly, Stacy Snow came out on the stage along with Viscera. Stacy Snow: "Hey! Yeah I'm talkin' to you guys! MERCURY AND BLAZE DROPPED DANNY AND LEFT THE RING, CROWDING AROUND MELINA. Melina, you beat me at the Royal Rumble and won the Women's title, I'll give you some credit. But you also wanted everyone to see just how beautiful you are, especially compared to me right? Well, Vis and I have decided that we want to see more. So next week on Rampage, I am challenging you to a Bra and Panties match"! Lawler: "Oh I love it, say yes, say yes"! MELINA LOOKS AT BLAZE AND MERCURY WHO GIVE HER THE THUMBS UP AND SHE NODS HER HEAD AS IF TO SAY SHE ACCEPTS. JUST AS STACY AND VISCERA TURN TO LEAVE, REFEREE JACK DOAN REACHES A COUNT OF 10 AND GIVES THE MATCH TO THE BASHAMS. Match Time: 5:38 Lawler: "What happened"?! J.R.: "Hollywood Heat has been counted out, the Bashams have won the match"! MELINA WAS FURIOUS AS WAS HOLLYWOOD HEAT AS THEY WALKED AWAY. Lawler: "Well normally I'd feel about like Melina does right now but we get to see one of those women in their bra and panties next week! Oh I can't wait"! J.R.: "Yeah, I'm sure you can't. I know what the King will be talking about over the next week"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TRAVIS WAKEMAN TALKING WITH TRISH STRATUS WHEN JOHN CENA COMES UP IN A WHITE SHIRT AND A CAMOFLAUGE HAT. John Cena: "What's up big T? Look, congratulations on winning the Royal Rumble man, I didn't think there was any way you were gonna do it. Plus, you had to eliminate me, congrats man". CENA SLAPS WAKEMAN's HAND. Travis Wakeman: "Thanks bro". Cena: "Now, just do me a favor and make it count at WrestleMania". CENA WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT SWITCHES TO A DRESSING ROOM WHERE THE HORSEMEN ARE. Jason Oliver: "Come on Mike, you gotta know who was under that Starman mask in GSE". Money Mike: "No one knew, no one ever knew who he was". Stephanie: "The guys are right Mike, we gotta get to the bottom of this, we gotta find out who it is". Money Mike: "Look, enough about the Starman already! Who cares! Carney is on his way to the ring right now to take on Joe Corey. That's who I'm worried about, not the Starman! We have to make sure we take him out". J.J. RAMPLIN STANDS UP. J.J. Ramplin: "Don't worry about it Mike, Joe Corey will never get to you, we'll take care of him, no matter what the cost". AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, CARNEY IS INSIDE IT GETTING LOOSE WHILE THE HORSEMEN THEME PLAYS. JUST THEN, "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK HITS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. J.R.: "The Horsemen seem dead set on taking Joe Corey out of the equation King and it was at the Royal Rumble that J.J. Ramplin surprisingly took him to the limit". Lawler: "He sure did but we have to keep in mind that that was the first time Corey had been in a match in months and the ring rust showed. Tonight, he faces a man in Carney who historically, he has owned". J.R.: "Who'll ever forget when Carney had to drop down to Smoky Mountain Wrestling after a loss to Corey? I don't know if there is a guy in the Horsemen, other than Money Mike, who would like to see Corey down and out more than him". Lawler: "Well he's got his chance tonight"! Carney vs. "The Show" Joe Corey Corey came into the match with braces on both knees and it quickly became a focal point of Carney. Carney attacked his legs with kicks and Corey did his best to fight him off. But Corey was also able to show his mobility, hitting a flying knee after reversing an irish whip. He then went to the lower back of Carney, just as he did against The Ram. But after a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, Carney rolled out of the ring to stop his momentum. Corey followed him out but Carney turned and dropkicked him in the right knee before whipping him into the ring steps. Carney then rolled The Show into the ring and went to the middle turnbuckle, jumping off and stomping on the knee again. It was the same knee that Corey has had problems with for months, mainly due to the attack at DoomsDay. With Corey down and in a lot of pain, Carney went outside and yelled at Lilian Garcia to get out of her chair. When she did, he grabbed it and brought it into the ring. It seemed he didn't care about being disqualified and he raised it above his head but Corey kicked him in the stomach before hitting a big DDT. But Corey got up and was very angry due to the damage Carney was looking for on his knee and he picked up the steel chair. When Carney got to his feet, he smashed it over his head, forcing referee Jose Mendez to call for the bell. Corey took another swing but only hit the mat as Carney rolled out of the ring. Match Time: 13:50 J.R.: "Oh what a shot that was! You talk about getting your brains scrambled"! Lawler: "Yeah and I sure hope Joe Corey is proud of that because all it's done is earned him a loss by disqualification"! COREY DROPPED THE CHAIR IN THE RING AND LEFT TO "LYING FROM YOU", LOOKING VERY FRUSTRATED. J.R.: "I don't blame him one bit! The Horsemen aren't trying to win matches against him, they're trying to end his career and for what?! Because their leader is too damn scared to face him one on one"! Lawler: "Well, I don't know if I'd go that far". BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW MATT CRUZ STANDING WITH KRISTAL MARSHALL. Kristal: "Hey Matt, you asked for this time, what did you want to get out"? Matt Cruz: "Well Kristal, I couldn't help but notice that we have a new King of Cable here on Rampage. So before everyone throws their name into the ring, I want to put Mister Ogden on notice that I will be watching him and when I feel the time is right, I want my shot at the title. That's all I have to say for now, Rey Rey and I got a match". CRUZ WALKS AWAY AND KRISTAL JUST SMILES AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. A PROGRAMMING AD IS SHOWN FOR THE WESTMINSTER CLUB DOG SHOW FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR NIKE FEATURING LEBRON JAMES. RETURN FROM BREAK..... J.R.: "Folks during the break there was a disgusting incident involving Carlito, take a look at this". DURING THE BREAK...... MYSTICAL IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN CARLITO COMES UP. Carlito: "Where's your little boyfriend at"? Mystical: "Uh, you mean Derek"? Carlito: "Is that who it is this week? Look, I brought him up here on Rampage when I let him hang with me and how does he repay me? He throws me out of the Royal Rumble match. Well I have a message that maybe you can give to him for me. That... that wasn't cool". CARLITO THEN TAKES A BITE FROM AN APPLE AND SPITS IT IN THE FACE OF MYSTICAL WHO IS JUST COVERED IN IT. AS CARLITO STARTS TO LAUGH, DEREK DARKO COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A SHOT TO THE BACK AND THE BRAWL IS ON. FINALLY, OFFICIALS STEP IN TO PULL THE TWO MEN APART. BACKSTAGE...... MICK FOLEY IS SHOWN TALKING WITH STRIFE WHEN JOE COREY COMES UP. Foley: "Oh, hey Corey". Joe Corey: "Foley, I don't care what I have to do, I want Money Mike in the ring and I want the World title on the line". Foley: "I can understand that, but to be perfectly honest, I don't see him free for awhile. I mean, you do have to consider that Travis Wakeman won the Royal Rumble and is the number one contender. I can't ignore that". Corey: "Look Mick, I've earned a match with him and I've earned a World title shot. He took the title away from me and I want him to feel the same". Foley: "I'm not making any promises right now Joe, that's all I can say". BACK TO LIVE ACTION, MATT CRUZ AND REY MSYTERIO ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE RING WHILE "THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYS. IN THE RING WAITING IS THE TEAM OF AUSTIN PORTEAU AND STEVEN RICHARDS. Matt Cruz and Rey Mysterio vs. Steven Richards and Austin Porteau w/ Miss Hancock Cruz and Mysterio continued to show their excellent skills as a tag team, dominating two guys who were teaming together for the first time and could not get on the same page. But Mysterio missed with the 6-1-9 on Porteau and Richards came into the ring, blasting him with the "Steven Kick". Cruz came in and clotheslined Richards over the top rope while in the ring, Porteau tried to capitalize on the kick but Mysterio kicked out of a cover at 2. Suddenly, Matt Hardy and Johnny Jeter came out and Hardy attacked Cruz, driving him into the barricade around the fans. Miss Hancock had the attention of referee Scott Martin as Rey caught Porteau with a flying headscissor. But Jeter got on the apron and pulled Rey down over the top rope with a hangman drop. Porteau then got up and hit Rey with the "Corporate Ladder" and covered her for the 3 count. As Porteau and Richards celebrated their upset win, Matt Hardy could be heard saying "It's my title" to Cruz. Match Time: 8:11 BACKSTAGE..... TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN AND BRADSHAW COMES INTO THE SHOT, STANDING NEXT TO HIM. Todd Grisham: "With me at this time is the self proclaimed wrestling God Bradshaw. Bradshaw, what....... Bradshaw: "Shut up you little punk! What do I want to say? I want some damn answers, that's what! I have not been in a high profile match here on Rampage in God knows how long! I was not even included in the Royal Rumble and why? There isn't a soul in that locker room that can beat me on an even playing field and they know it! So why in the hell am I......... JUST THEN, JOHN CENA COMES UP AND GETS IN BRADSHAW's FACE. John Cena: "So then why don't you leave?! Nah, serious man. If it's that bad, don't put it off on everyone else, just get out". Bradshaw: "That's it, that is it"! BRADSHAW STORMS OFF AND CENA JUST LAUGHS. Snitsky and Sylvain Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin and Jason Oliver The Hart Family-Horsemen war continued but there was never any semblance of a tag team match here as the 4 men began brawling the second they got into the ring. Oliver caught Grenier with a spinebuster and he and Ramplin then combined to take on Snitsky. After they got him out of the ring with a double clothesline, Oliver flew onto him with a flying plancha. But when Ramplin turned around, he was drilled with Jimmy Hart's megaphone by Grenier, right in front of referee Jimmy Korderas and he called for the bell, disqualifying the Hart Family. Oliver came back into the ring and began trading shots with Grenier when Jimmy Hart grabbed Grenier's leg to help him get out of the ring. Just then, Mick Foley came out. Match Time: 2:01 Mick Foley: "Hold it! Hold it right there! I don't know about all you guys here in Phoenix, but I'm damn tired of this Hart Family-Horsemen crap and I think it's about time for it to come to an end! So with that being said, at Code Red, it will come to an end"! FOLEY TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AS ALL 4 MEN AND JIMMY HART SEEM TO LIKE IT. J.R.: "What's Foley mean by that"?! Lawler: "I guess we'll have to wait and see J.R. but I like the sound of it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR DEXATRIM MAX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BOWFLEX. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... RAMPAGE RETURNS WITH KURT ANGLE's MUSIC PLAYING. HE IS IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE. J.R.: "We are back on Rampage with Kurt Angle and King, he still doesn't know who his opponent is". Kurt Angle: "Shawn Michaels, I hope you're watching closely because I'm about to show you what a winner looks like! So bring out the stiff that I'm supposed to face tonight"! ANGLE TOSSES THE MICROPHONE AS AN INDIAN CHANT BREAKS OUT AND TATANKA's MUSIC HITS, BRINGING HIM OUT IN A FEATHERED HEADDRESS TO A HUGE CHEER. J.R.: "Oh boy, we saw Tatanka make his return to the TWF in the Royal Rumble match and not only that, but there's a lot of history between these two men King". Lawler: "Yeah and Kurt Angle doesn't look to thrilled to be looking at the Native American tonight"! J.R.: "It was at the 2001 King of the Ring that Tatanka made his TWF debut and defeated Kurt Angle in what many considered an upset and what many considered a loss that Angle never recovered from"! Lawler: "Yeah but how long has it been since we've seen Tatanka J.R., three, four years? Kurt Angle has been a World champion in that time and what has Tatanka been doing, selling arrowheads"? Kurt Angle vs. Tatanka Angle and Tatanka locked up and Angle looked like he wanted to end it early, taking Tatanka to the mat and going for his right foot. But Tatanka saw the ankle lock coming and pushed Angle away with his foot before getting up and ducking a clothesline before smashing him with a jumping tomahawk chop to the head. Tatanka then hit the ropes and went for a crossbody but Angle ducked and he hit the ring ropes. From there, Angle hit a trifecta of german suplexes before grabbing the Native American in a front facelock and he then drove some hard knees into his head. Tatanka tried to get up but when he did, Angle went for the Angle Slam. Tatanka slipped off his shoulders and then caught him with the samoan drop which he used to call "Circling the Wagons". He went for the cover but Angle got his foot on the bottom rope to break the hold. Tatanka seemed to have some issues with the pace of the count and as he discussed that with referee Chad Patton, Angle grabbed his foot and locked in the ankle lock. But Tatanka held on, refusing to submit when one of the strangest things in TWF history went down. The Burger King mascot, the one that is in all the football commercials, ran out and made a lap around the ring. Angle was so incensed that he tried to grab the guy and Tatanka took advantage with a schoolboy, picking up the 3 count and another win over the former gold medalist. Match Time: 7:43 Lawler: "Are you kidding me?! That was that guy from the Burger King commercials"! J.R.: "It sure was and what he's doing is anyone's guess but what is important is that Tatanka has defeated Angle and Angle's plan to show Shawn Michaels what a winner looks like has gone terribly wrong"! TATANKA CELEBRATED THE WIN AFTER ANGLE CHASED THE MASCOT INTO THE BACK. Lawler: "I just can't believe this"! BACKSTAGE...... KRISTAL IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH THE BRAND NEW KING OF CABLE, MAX OGDEN WHO HAS THE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Kristal: "Max Ogden, at the Royal Rumble, you became the new King of Cable". Max Ogden: "Let me just stop you right there, uh, whatever your name is. At the Royal Rumble, I not only pinned the champions shoulders to the mat, but I once again proved my superiority over Jason Oliver. So now...... JUST THEN, SHELTON BENJAMIN ENTERS THE SHOT. Shelton Benjamin: "Your right Max, you pinned my shoulders to the mat. But don't forget to tell everybody that you did so after driving my head into a steel chair. So next week, I want my rematch, one on one with you for the King of Cable title". Ogden: "Shelton, you want a title shot, all you had to do was ask. If you think I'm gonna be one of those champions who makes up excuses why I can't defend my title..... think again. See ya next week". OGDEN WALKS AWAY AND BENJAMIN GOES IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. KRISTAL STARTS TO WALK AWAY BUT SHE HAS HER ARM GRABBED. SHE TURNS TO SEE TREVOR MURDOCH AND LANCE CADE. MURDOCH HAS A BIG WAD OF CHEW IN HIS MOUTH. Kristal: "Uh, can I help you two"? Lance Cade: "Well, we just thought we'd let the viewers know that next week on Rampage, Trevor and I have ourselves a tag team title shot. But tonight, Trevor has something else he wants". Trevor Murdoch: "Wakeman, it came down to you and me in the Royal Rumble. There's no way you could ever throw me out again. Tonight, if you got the balls, meet me n that ring and after I beat you, I'll make that pretty little thing Trish squeal like a pig". THE SHOT GOES TO MICK FOLEY's OFFICE WHERE BRADSHAW HAS JUST COME IN. Mick Foley: "Ah, Bradshaw, what brings you to Foley's den"? Bradshaw: "Don't b.s. with me Mick! Did you hear the way I was treated by that punk ass kid John Cena! I'm tired as hell of this crap on Rampage and as of this moment, I'm demanding a trade to PrimeTime"! Foley: "Well, I appreciate you coming to me with your thoughts and I will take them into consideration....... JUST THEN, PRIMETIME's SHANE THOMPSON ENTERS THE OFFICE, WITH RIOT POLICE. but as you can see, my appointment is here so let me get back to you on this". BRADSHAW STORMS OFF AS FOLEY PULLS OUT A PIECE OF PAPER AND THOMPSON PULLS UP A CHAIR. Trevor Murdoch w/ Lance Cade vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Trish Murdoch came into the match very aggressively and was able to slow Wakeman down with a reverse gutbuster. After consecutive elbow drops, Murdoch made his way out of the ring towards Trish. She tried to back away from him but she backed right into the arms of Cade. But before Murdoch could put his hands on her, Wakeman came from behind with a shot to the back before whipping Murdoch into the steel ring post. Wakeman rolled him into the ring but Murdoch fired back with a right hand that stung Wakeman. After a stiff DDT, Murdoch went to the top rope, most likely looking for his flying bulldog. But Wakeman instinctively feel into the ropes, racking Murdoch. From there, he climbed up the turnbuckle with him and hit a big superplex. A cover was made but Wakeman broke it himself to knock Cade off the apron with a right hand. Murdoch got up and struck Wakeman with a knee to the back before hitting the ropes. But he ran right into a beautiful sitout powerbomb. From there, Wakeman rolled Murdoch over and locked in a variation of the Sharpshooter. He didn't sit on Murdoch's back, just pulling his twisted legs back in a very awkward position and Murdoch had no choice but to tap out. Match Time: 6:17 J.R.: "What a huge win for the 2006 Royal Rumble winner and if you ask me, the only one squealing like a pig tonight was Murdoch himself"! Lawler: "He lost the match but don't forget J.R., Cade and Murdoch get their shot at the tag team titles next week"! J.R.: "And that should be one heck of a title match and speaking of those, the World title is on the line next, after we take our final commercial break"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW GILLETTE FUSION RAZOR IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR PIZZA HUT FEATURING JESSICA SIMPSON. RETURN FROM BREAK...... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, J.R. AND THE KING ARE SHOWN FROM THEIR BROADCAST POSITION. J.R.: "Folks we're all looking forward to getting the World title match underway but during the break, Drew Blood came to the ring with Paul Birchill, take a look at what transpired". DURING THE BREAK.......... Drew Blood: "It has become very clear that Drew Blood needs a change and for me, that means going back to my old ways. I never needed a bodyguard. I never needed a crypt keeper and I never needed a doctor. WITH THAT, DREW BLOOD KICKS BIRCHILL IN THE GUT AND DELIVERS THE "BLOODBATH". I never needed anyone....... no one but me". DREW BLOOD DROPS THE MICROPHONE ON THE CHEST OF BIRCHILL AND LEAVES TO A HOARD OF BOOS. "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A ROARING CHEER WHILE AN ENGINE REVS UP. Lawler: "That right there shows the cutthroat side of this business J.R., plain and simple"! J.R.: "Well to me it just shows the black heart of Drew Blood but right now, here comes the challenger and the former World champion who if you are just joining us, has excercised his rematch clause and the title is on the line"! Lawler: "Well if there is anyone just joining us, they've missed one heck of a night already"! THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AND STEPHANIE McMMAHON STEPS OUT WITH MONEY MIKE, WHO HAS THE WORLD TITLE STRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "It was at the Royal Rumble where this man pinned High Octane's shoulders to the mat and it's been well documented that he is still undefeated but I'm gonna say this with one hundred percent honesty King, I don't think he would've won that match without the help of the Starman". Lawler: "And all we've heard Money Mike say is how much he wants to get away from everything associated with the GSE which makes the Starman getting involved that much more weird". J.R.: "Jimmy Korderas has been assigned to this match and I can't help but notice the huge smile on both Money Mike and Stephanie McMahon's faces, what do they know"? TWF World Title Match Challenger: "High Octane" Damion West vs. Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon Just like their match at the Rumble, neither man wanted to make a mistake. Octane charged and ducked a clothesline but Mike caught him with a forearm to the face as he came off the other side. He then picked him up and dropped him throat first over the top rope before yanking him back right on his knee. Fans were worried that Octane's chance was quickly going down the tube. Mike pulled him up and shot him to the corner but when he charged in, Octane slung over him and dropkicked him in the back. Mike came out of the corner, right into an armdrag. Octane then went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off but Mike caught him in mid air and drove him back first into the corner. Mike then got a running start and came at him in the corner but this time, Octane was waiting with a back elbow before hitting him with the big superkick! Mike fell to the mat and it looked like he was out but Stephanie was doing all she could to distract Korderas. To make matters worse, the Horsemen came to the ring to run more distraction when Jason Oliver waved for someone to come to the ring and once again, the Starman appeared, this time carrying the same lead pipe he used at the Rumble! He entered the ring but shockingly, he hit Mike in the back of the head with the pipe! That led to a second "Head on Collision" and as Starman left the ring, the Horsemen tried to go after him but he left through the crowd. In the ring, Octane had the cover and the leg hooked and Korderas pounded the mat 3 times, giving the title back to Damion West! Match Time: 5:48 J.R.: "He did it! High Octane has risen to the top one more time"! Lawler: "What the heck was that?! This time, the Starman cost Mike the title! I don't get it"! J.R.: "Wait a minute King, look at this"! JUST THEN, THE STARMAN EMERGED FROM THE CROWD AND GOT ON TOP OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, LOOKING BACK AT HIGH OCTANE WHO WAS IN THE RING WITH THE TITLE. THEN, HE QUICKLY REMOVED HIS MASK....... IT WAS JOE COREY! Lawler: "Ah.... look at this"! J.R.: "It's Joe Corey! Corey has cost Mike the World title"! Lawler: "Was it him all along"? THE SHOT FADES ON A SMILING COREY WHO WAS HOLDING UP THE MASK OF THE STARMAN. COMMERCIAL BREAK........
