March 22, 2006
The road to WrestleMania 7 made one of it's final stops in San Antonio for what promised to be a huge show. On an interesting note, several members of the San Antonio Spurs sat ringside for this show. Mickie James vs. Stacy Snow The night got started with divas action and Mickie James, who seems to have transformed herself, took Stacy Snow's best shots and defeated the former Women's champion with a bridged northern lights suplex. Viscera and Mark Jindrak vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch Viscera and Jindrak, still trying to gel as a team, looked very good in this one. Jindrak battled with his former partner Cade but Murdoch got a knee into his back as he hit the ropes. Murdoch then came in as the legal man and after dropping Jindrak with a shortarm clothesline, he spit his wad of chew in the face of Big Vis. Murdoch then turned right into a dropkick from Jindrak who made the tag to Viscera. Vis pounded on Murdoch but missed an avalanche splash in the corner which allowed Cade to tag back in. But Cade ran right into Viscera's back wheel kick as he came off the ropes and Vis then hit a chokebomb as Jindrak held off Murdoch and the 3 count was registered. Mixed Gender Tag team match Derek Darko and Mystical vs. Marty Jannetty and Victoria Darko and Mystical, who were much more familiar with each other than Jannetty and Victoria, dominated the match. Darko had Jannetty right where he wanted him but after ducking a clothesline, Jannetty hit the Rocker Dropper and tagged in Victoria. That immediately forced Mystical into the match and the women began trading shots. Mystical was able to catch Victoria with a flapjack but then went to the top rope and when she flew off, Victoria kicked her in the midsection and then loaded her up for the "Widow's Peak" which led to the 3 count. JANNETTY AND VICTORIA CELEBRATED THE VICTORY AS THE STAGE WAS NOT SET FOR RAMPAGE. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE RAMPAGE STARTS UP WITH IT's USUAL MONTAGE AS "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS. THE SECOND THE AT & T CENTER COMES INTO VIEW, THE SCREECHING WHEELS OF AN OUT OF CONTROL CAR ARE HEARD AND MICK FOLEY's MUSIC HITS, BRINGING HIM OUT TO A HUGE POP. HE IS WEARING HIS RED AND BLACK FLANNEL SHIRT AND A PAIR OF BLACK SWEATS. Jim Ross: "We are live as live gets and we are in the heart of Texas tonight for TWF Rampage"! Jerry Lawler: "And we are starting the night with our general manager J.R."! J.R.: "Mick Foley with that ever present smile on his face looks ready to address the crowd". Mick Foley: "Good evening everyone! The crowd cheers It's good to see you all out here tonight as we have a great show planned for you right here in San Antonio, Texas"! THE CROWD CHEERS AGAIN Lawler: "There's that cheap pop"! Foley: "Including a main event that will see Jamal and Rosey team up with the Olympic hero Kurt Angle to take on the team of Travis Wakeman...... Bret the Hitman Hart and the current TWF World champion, High Octane"! THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS J.R.: "That's gonna be a huge match too". Foley: "But before we get to all of that, I have a huge announcement to make as it pertains to the match between Joe Corey and Money Mike that you will see at WrestleMania! Now of course this is one of the most anticipated matches on the card, so I figured we......... J.R.: "Wait a minute, what the hell is this"! JUST THEN, FOLEY WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY..... DREW BLOOD! DREW BLOOD WAS ALL OVER FOLEY WHO TRIED TO FIGHT BACK BUT BLOOD KICKED HIM IN THE CROTCH AND PUT HIM DOWN WITH THE "BLOODBATH". Lawler: "It's Drew Blood and he is all over Mick Foley"! J.R.: "It's been weeks since we've seen or heard from this guy! He's got Foley up again"! DREW BLOOD PULLED UP A LIMP FOLEY AND PUT HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER BLOODBATH BEFORE GETTING DOWN BY HIS EAR AND SHOUTING SOMETHING THAT COULDN'T BE DECIPHERED. DREW BLOOD THEN LEFT THE RING TO QUITE A BIT OF BOOS. Lawler: "What the hell has just happened here? Drew Blood has come out and destroyed Mick Foley"! J.R.: "He damn sure has King and for what?! For what"?! THE SHOT FADED OUT WITH DREW BLOOD LOOKING BACK AT FOLEY WHO HAD JUST PICKED HIMSELF UP IN THE RING. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR ICY HOT IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE. RETURN FROM BREAK...... J.R.: "Folks if you are just joining us, we are still in shock over the way this show got started, take a look"! A REPLAY OF DREW BLOOD's ATTACK ON MICK FOLEY IS SHOWN. "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL IS HEARD AS CARLITO MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH AN APPLE IN HAND. J.R.: "Something tells me Drew Blood is gonna have hell to pay King"! Lawler: "If he even cares anymore! What does he think brutalizing the GM of Rampage is going to get him"? J.R.: "Well right now, we are ready to hand out our first spot in the Choose Your Destiny match at WrestleMania and can you imagine this guy with a guaranteed title shot"? Lawler: "Well we would be sure to hear about it and mainly from him but I can see it happening"! TATANKA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS INDIAN HEADDRESS WITH A TOMAHAWK IN HIS RIGHT HAND. J.R.: "Well he'll have to cool off the red hot Tatanka in order to do it"! Lawler: "You're right about that J.R., I think Tatanka is undefeated since coming back to the TWF"! FONT COLOR= "WHITE">Choose Your Destiny Qualification Match Tatanka vs. Carlito The bell sounded and Carlito asked referee Jose Mendez to check Tatanka for foreign objects but when Mendez went to check his boots, Carlito ran in with an attack. But an alert Tatanka saw it coming, blocking a right hand and smashing Carlito with a tomahawk chop to the head followed by another. He then whipped him to the ropes and hit a double knifedge across the chest and he was rolling as Carlito rolled out of the ring to regroup. Carlito took a lot of time to get back in the ring and when he finally got on the apron, he thumbed Tatanka in the eyes before coming in with a hard right hand. Carlito then hit a swinging neckbreaker before putting the boots to the back of his head. Carlito then turned to the crowd and set "Now das cool" but Tatanka rolled him up from behind to get the 1........2........, but that was it. Carlito got up and missed with a clothesline as Tatanka hit an inverted atomic drop before whipping him to the ropes for a textbook powerslam. He hooked the leg and again got a long 2 count. Tatanka shot Carlito to the corner and followed in but posted his shoulder when he moved. Carlito then pulled Tatanka down backwards onto both of his knees which looked to spell the end of Tatanka. Carlito picked him up and whipped him to the ropes, hitting a nice dropkick. Carlito then decided to go to the top rope and he came off with a front flip diving attack but Tatanka was able to get out of the way. Tatanka saw an opening and got Carlito up for the "Trail's End" but Carlito slipped free and went for a rollup only to have Tatanka use his own momentum against him and turn the rollup into a pin of his own to get the win. Match Time: 8:36 Lawler: "No way! I think Tatanka got him"! J.R.: "He sure did King, Tatanka is on his way to WrestleMania"! TATANKA's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT THE RING, CELEBRATING THE WIN AS CARLITO ARGUED THE 3 COUNT WITH MENDEZ. Lawler: "I gotta consider that an upset J.R."! J.R.: "Call it what you want, but Tatanka now joins PrimeTime's Christian, Rene Dupree and Randy Orton in the Choose Your Destiny match"! BACKSTAGE AREA.... MATT CRUZ IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA LACING HIS BOOTS WHEN REY MYSTERIO COMES UP. Rey Mysterio: "Hey Cruz, looks like we're in that six man ladder match together at WrestleMania and no offense bro, but I'd love to become King of Cable". Matt Cruz: "You're gonna go all out to win, I understand that, because so am I. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Tonight, I have another match with Matt Hardy and I'm sure you can remember the last time we faced off, I lost and I know you can remember why. So no offense Rey Rey, but I got this tonight". CRUZ WALKS AWAY AS MYSTERIO JUST LOOKS ON. IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, JOHN CENA HAS JUST SIGNED AN AUTOGRAPH FOR A YOUNG FAN WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS COMES UP. Shawn Michaels: "Ah, so you do still have some fans". John Cena: "And what's that supposed to mean"? Michaels: "Look man, you'd have to be deaf not to hear the majority of these people booing you these days and for what? You're not doing anything wrong. You have to get to the point where you realize that these people will take you nowhere. Do you really want to be remembered as the guy who main evented WrestleMania six and then never did it again"? Cena: "Oh so that's how it's gonna be? I will get these people back on my side and I don't need your crappy advice to try and change my opinion of them. After all, last time I looked, you main evented WrestleMania three and then.......... yeah that's what I thought". CENA WALKS AWAY AS MICHAELS JUST SMIRKS. Matt Cruz vs. Matt Hardy w/ Johnny Jeter In the rematch from Code Red, both these guys wanted a leg up heading into WrestleMania. Hardy took control after Jeter grabbed Cruz' leg and Hardy caught him with a flying clothesline takedown. Hardy then pulled Cruz up and led him to the corner before getting a running start for a jumping bulldog. In clear control of the match, Hardy went to the top rope and came off with the teardrop legdrop and hooked the leg to get the 1..........2........., but Cruz shot his right shoulder off the mat. Hardy then tried for the Side Effect but Cruz countered out with an elbow before hitting a belly to belly suplex. Cruz then locked in a fujiwara armbar but Hardy struggled to get to the ropes for a break. Before Cruz could get up, Jeter came over and viciously raked his eyes. Hardy pulled him up and went for an irish whip but Cruz reversed it only to have Hardy try for a crucifix when he missed a clothesline. But Cruz just fell back into a Samoan drop before getting to his feet and taking Jeter out with a baseball slide, a move that the crowd loved. Hardy tried for a hurracanrana when he turned around but Cruz blocked it with a powerbomb. He then grabbed Hardy's legs and turned him over into the Colorado Cloverleaf. He had it locked in the center of the ring and Hardy knew he had no choice but to tap out. Match Time: 6:53 J.R.: "Matt Cruz has gotten a little sweet revenge here on Matt Hardy and he looks primed and ready for that ladder match at Wrestle.... oh look out"! BEFORE CRUZ COULD FULLY CELEBRATE THE VICTORY, JETER CAME FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR TO THE BACK. HARDY THEN GOT UP AS JETER LAID THE CHAIR DOWN AND HARDY DELIVERED THE "TWIST OF FATE" RIGHT ON THE CHAIR. Lawler: "That'll rearrange a face"! J.R.: "Matt Hardy and Johnny Jeter have laid waste to Matt Cruz here and they may've broken his nose, at the least"! "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" BY MONSTER MAGNET PLAYED AS HARDY AND JETER LEFT TO A LOT OF HEAT. CRUZ WAS STILL FACE DOWN IN THE RING. Lawler: "Well he told Mysterio not to get involved! Bet he'd like to rethink that one"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 7 FROM LAS VEGAS. RETURN FROM BREAK......WRESTLEMANIA REPLAY SHOWS KURT ANGLE's VICTORY OVER MR. WRESTLING III AT WRESTLEMANIA 4. THE BURGER KING MASCOT IS SERVING AS MR. WRESTLING AND WHEN ANGLE WENT TO PULL HIS MASK OFF, HE HAD A SECOND ONE UNDERNEATH. THE BURGER KING GUY THEN HITS A SPINEBUSTER BEFORE LEAVING THE RING. BACKSTAGE..... TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN STANDING WITH BRET HART. Todd Grisham: "Bret, later tonight, you will compete in a huge six man tag team match but last week, Kurt Angle challenged you to a match at WrestleMania. We all remember what happened last Summer at MeltDown, so what do you say"? Bret Hart: "Kurt Angle wants another piece of me, well that's fine. But I say, this is WrestleMania, so why do we stop at just having a match?! I say we see who the best technical wrestler really is. Kurt Angle likes to talk about all the guys he's made tap out, well let's see him make me tap out. In fact, let's see how many times he can do it in an Ultimate Submission match". Grisham: "There ya have it, back to you guys". "MY NAME IS FINLAY, AND I LOVE TO FIGHT" IS HEARD AND FINLAY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH HIS SHILLELAGH. J.R.: "Boy do I like the sound of that. Can you imagine the action we're gonna see in that one King"? Lawler: "I can see that going down as one of the best matches ever but speaking of action, that Choose Your Destiny match is gonna be huge and we're about to fill another spot"! "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY P.O.D. HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER AS SMOKE SHOOTS STRAIGHT UP FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE RAMP. J.R.: "And this will be our second rematch from Code Red as the Locomotive will look to make it two in a row against Finlay and what a win it would be for this man who would have a chance to once again climb to the top here in the TWF"! Lawler: "Well standing in the way is the fighting Irishman and that's a heck of a roadblock"! Choose Your Destiny Qualification match Finlay vs. Strife This was a brawl from the opening bell and both men struggled to gain the upper hand, much like at Code Red. The tough, gritty Finlay was able to fight his way out of a bear hug by biting the hose of the Locomotive and he then took him down with a DDT. He got a 2 count but kept the pressure on Strife with back to back elbow drops before going to the mat and driving his forearm into the bridge of Strife's nose. Finlay was really taking it to Strife by keeping him on the mat but he couldn't finish the job. He then tried to get Strife up for his fireman's carry slam but he couldn't get him up and Strife went for a full nelson slam but Finlay caught him with a back elbow flush in the mouth. He then hit the ropes but Strife caught him with a hand around the throat and delivered his swinging chokeslam which got the fans to their feet and led to the 1.......2.......3. Match Time: 7:33 J.R.: "Strife has advanced with a hellacious swinging chokeslam that knocked Finlay all the way back to St. Patrick's Day"! Lawler: "He has become the fifth man in that match and we've just got one spot left to fill J.R."! "GET OFF MY TRACKS" AGAIN PLAYED AS STRIFE HELD BOTH ARMS UP IN THE AIR AS HE LOOKED AT THE LIGHTED WRESTLEMANIA 7 SIGN THAT HUNG IN THE RAFTERS. J.R.: "And that will go to either Sylvain Grenier or Rob Van Dam in a match to take place later tonight and that now brings us to the Hall of Fame King. Last week, we heard that Weapon R was the first inductee to this year's class but tonight, we announce a second man, just as deserving. Take a look...... TWF HALL OF FAME CLASS OF '06: CRASH HOLLY Although small in stature compared to his fellow competitors, Crash Holly had as much fight in him as anyone. Possibly the most successful hardcore wrestler in TWF history, he won the title 4 times. He defended the title against all comers and had some very memorable matches. But none more memorable than the night he wrestled his "cousin" Hardcore Holly at the very first TWF WrestleMania, and beat him. But Crash also showed his versatility when he became the Lightheavyweight champion, having to totally change his in ring style. Although his life was cut way too short, Crash's memory lives on in the heart of all TWF fans and this year at WrestleMania, he will take his rightful place in TWF lore. John Cena vs. Snitsky w/ Jimmy Hart Cena had quite a bit of trouble against the much bigger and stronger Snitsky who looked for the biggest win of his TWF career and after hitting his sidewinder slam, he seemed to have it. But Cena got his foot on the bottom rope to break the count and moments later, Cena ducked a clothesline and delivered a big suplex on Snitsky. After catching him with a flying shoulder tackle, Cena then delivered the s knuckle shuffle before pumping up his Reebok shoes which actually drew a lot of boos from the fans. Cena then showed his brute strength by putting Snitsky up with ease and dumping him with the "F-U" to get the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 7:06 J.R.: "Oh what a thunderous move! John Cena has defeated Snitsky with a ring rockin' F-U"! JUST THEN, SHAWN MICHAELS SLID INTO THE RING AND WHEN CENA TURNED AROUND, HE HAD HIS LIGHTS TURNED OUT WITH THE "SWEET CHIN MUSIC". THERE WERE BOTH CHEERS AND BOOS HEARD AS MICHAELS STARED DOWN AT THE FALLEN CENA. Lawler: "Ohhhhhhh, did you hear that"?! J.R.: "What the hell is Shawn Michaels doing?! Juse because Cena didn't want his advice, he has to come out here and superkick his damn head off"?! Lawler: "And now Michaels is even getting booed and we're in his hometown"! J.R.: "We'll be right back, this is absolutely hideous". COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR PIZZA HUT FEATURING JESSICA SIMPSON IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR CINGULAR WIRELESS. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS CATCH MACKENZIE ROSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PHONE CONVERSATION. Mackenzie Rose: "No, that won't happen, I'm not a quiter. Things just came to me so easily everywhere else, I'm just not used to this. (pause) I know, I will. If I need you, I will let you know. Uh huh, bye". THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND THE CROWD CHEERS AT THE SITE OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN WHO FINDS HIGH OCTANE. Travis Wakeman: "What the hell was that last week, huh"? High Octane: "I'm assuming you're referring to me bailing you out of that two on one". Wakeman: "In less than two weeks, we're opponents in the main event at WrestleMania and not only that, but I don't recall asking you to watch my back"! High Octane: "Look man, I don't know where you're comin' from here, but just because we're opponents at Mania, doesn't mean we can't maintain a mutual respect. I know all these people want to see two guys go out there and beat the hell out of each other and show how much they hate each other but let's be honest man, that's not gonna happen between us". Wakeman: "Why's that"? High Octane: "For the last several months, what have you heard? Oh High Octane, he's so lucky, he's the biggest joke we've ever seen as champion. But what they don't realize is what I've done to not only win it, but to keep it. Since I came here to the TWF, everyone has doubted me. No one thought I'd last three weeks around here! Well, all except for one person....... you". OCTANE WALKS AWAY, LEAVING WAKEMAN TO THINK IT OVER. BACK IN THE ARENA, THE RING HAS BEEN SURROUNDED BY A STEEL CAGE. THE HART FAMILY THEME SONG HITS AND JIMMY HART MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING, LEADING MAX OGDEN WHO IS WEARING THE KING OF CABLE TITLE. J.R.: "And those two will be on one side of the ring on the same team tonight King but also at WrestleMania, this man will put that King of Cable title on the line in a six man ladder match and I gotta say, the odds are stacked against him". THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT ALONG WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON TO A MIXED REACTION BUT HE GETS MORE CHEERS THAN OGDEN DID. Lawler: "Yeah but no one thought he could win King of the Ring, no one thought he could beat the likes of Rey Mysterio, Strife and John Cena but he did and at WrestleMania, six guys or not, I gotta consider Ogden the favorite"! J.R.: "Well one of the men who will be trying to take that title from him is this guy, Jason Oliver and on a related note, we have been told that Stephanie McMahon will now act as the ringside manager for all four of the Horsemen, not just Money Mike". Lawler: "And I think that's a great idea and it gives them that much more of an edge"! J.R.: "The rivalry between the Hart Family and the Horsemen has been well documented and to this point, the Hart Family definitely holds the advantage if you ask me"! Non-Title/Steel Cage Match Jason Oliver w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. King of Cable Max Ogden w/ Jimmy Hart Ogden already holds one win over Jason Oliver and that came in the Rampage finals of the King of the Ring tournament but on this night, Oliver was determined to redeem himself. He came out with a new confidence about him and aggressively took the fight to the King of Cable. Ogden was able to duck a swinging backhand but when he went for a crossbody block, Oliver caught him in mid air and threw him over his body, right into the steel cage. The fans loved the move and Oliver lined Ogden up and with a running start, tried to punt his head into the steel cage but Ogden moved and kicked Oliver in the shin before grabbing him around the neck and using the cage wall to deliver a springboard bulldog. Ogden then went to the top rope and flew off with a kneedrop, right on the money. Seeing his chance, Ogden went to the cage and began to climb out as Hart tried to rally him. But Oliver got up and grabbed him by the back of his shorts, yanking him down to the mat. Oliver then struck Ogden with a running boot and that seemed to provide him the time he needed to escape. Oliver called for the 2 referees at ringside to open the cage door and he made his way to it but halfway out, he had the door slammed in his face by Jimmy Hart! An angry Stephanie came around and began chasing Hart around the ring but Ogden got up and Hart tossed him his megaphone. He caught it but then took the door and swung it the opposite way, catching a running Steph right in the face! Steph fell to the floor as Hart let out a loud laugh but when Ogden turned around, Oliver met him with a boot to the gut followed by a big DDT. Oliver then picked up the megaphone and waited for Ogden to get up, giving the King of Cable a taste of his own medicine and cracking him over the head with it! Oliver then had only one thing left to do....escape. He went to one side of the cage and began climbing up as Ogden lay motionless on the mat. Jimmy Hart could only watch helplessly as Oliver got over the cage and fell to the floor outside, sounding the bell. Match Time: 10:45 Lawler: "He did it! Jason Oliver has won one for the Horsemen"! J.R.: "He has, but what kind of damage has been done to the billion dollar princess"?! THE HORSEMEN THEME PLAYED AS OLIVER RUSHED OVER TO STEPHANIE AND PICKED HER UP IN HIS ARMS BEFORE WALKING UP THE RAMP WITH HER. SHE HAD A VERY VISIBLE BRUISE FORMING ON HER FOREHEAD. Lawler: "That doesn't look good at all J.R.". J.R.: "I mean, I'd like to say it couldn't happen to a more deserving person but you don't want to see something like that happen to anyone! We'll be back folks". COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR RADIO SHACK IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR BURGER KING. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... RAMPAGE RETURNS TO SHOW ROB VAN DAM TALKING WITH MARTY JANNETY WHEN PAUL BIRCHILL COMES UP, DRESSED AS A PIRATE AND LOOKS THEM BOTH UP AND DOWN. Paul Birchill (to Jannetty): "Hello. HE THEN GOES OVER TO RVD. Hello". BIRCHILL PROMPTLY WALKS AWAY AS RVD AND JANNETTY GIVE EACH OTHER A STRANGE LOOK. CAMERAS SWITCH TO ANOTHER PART OF THE ARENA WHERE TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN HOTLY PURSUING DREW BLOOD. Grisham: "Drew Blood, Drew Blood, can I get a word please?! Can you tell everyone why you attacked Mick Foley tonight"?! DREW BLOOD STOPS AND TURNS AROUND. Drew Blood: "Why did I attack Mick Foley? I attacked that piece of trash because it is WrestleMania season and that son of a bitch hasn't offered me, the best thing this company has ever seen, a spot on the card! So guess what Mick, I want to put myself on the card, in a match against you! If you've got the balls, you can find me in Vegas"! Grisham: "With all due respect, you have had problems with authority with just about everyone you've worked under in your time here. Can you....... Drew Blood: "Shut up! This interview is over! The next person I have in my face better be Foley"! BACK IN THE RING, SYLVAIN GRENIER IS AWAITING HIS OPPONENT ALONG WITH JIMMY HART WHEN "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS OF THE NIGHT, ALONG WITH HIS PYRO. J.R.: "One spot remains in the Choose Your Destiny match at WrestleMania and it will go to one of these two men"! Lawler: "What about what we just saw with Paul Birchill back there? How weird was that"? J.R.: "Yeah, looked a lot like captain Jack Sparrow there King but right now, RVD will have to have his mind on this match because Sylvain has impressed latley"! Lawler: "Well Jimmy Hart is already O for one tonight so another loss here could make the party they held last week seem like a long time ago"! Choose Your Destiny Qualification Match Rob Van Dam vs. Sylvain Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart Grenier tried to get the jump on Van Dam before the bell sounded but RVD saw him at the last minute and caught him with a kick to the gut followed by one straight to the head. RVD then hit a spinning legdrop and he was in complete control, pulling Grenier up. After a few rabbit punches, RVD shot Grenier to the ropes and went down by doing the splits but Grenier stopped his momentum and grabbed Van Dam by the hair, pulling him up and hitting a variation of a brainbuster. It seemed that he'd won the match with one move but Van Dam somehow kicked out at 2 and a half. Grenier had gotten the match in his favor though and had slowed RVD down, keeping him on the mat. But behind the cheers of the crowd, Van Dam got to his feet and broke a reverse chin lock with 2 elbows to the gut. He then hit the ropes and avoided a clothesline but as he came off the other side, Grenier sidestepped him and launched him out of the ring by the back of his head. Grenier then distracted referee Scott Martin as RVD got to his feet. Jimmy Hart came over, looking for a cheap shot but Van Dam drilled him with a spinning back kick, knocking him to the floor! RVD then got on the apron and drove a shoulder into the abdomen of Grenier before trying to come in with a sunset flip but Grenier sat down on his shoulders and Hart recovered in time to grab Grenier's hands for extra leverage as Martin made the 3 count. Match Time: 6:49 J.R.: "Oh not like that! Give the damn assist to Jimmy Hart and now, Sylvain Grenier is going to WrestleMania"! Lawler: "Oh I love it and that's what RVD gets for putting his hands, or should I say his feet on the Mouth of the South"! HART AND GRENIER WENT UP THE RAMP TOGETHER, CELEBRATING THE WIN AS RVD SLAPPED THE MAT WITH BOTH HANDS IN FRUSTRATION. J.R.: "This crowd can't believe it King. RVD has just been screwed out of a chance to compete at the biggest event of the year". BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS CUT TO THE BACK WHERE KRISTAL IS STANDING WITH JOE COREY. Kristal: "I am here with the man known as The Show and I gotta ask you Joe, what do you think Mick Foley was going to say tonight regarding your match with Money Mike at WrestleMania"? Joe Corey: "Well first let me say this, Drew Blood, you are one hell of a coward man and I hope Foley kicks your ass at Mania. But Mike, it doesn't matter what the announcement was supposed to be because..... oh now what"? JUST THEN, STEPHANIE COMES UP, HOLDING AN ICE PACK UP AGAINST HER FACE. Stephanie McMahon: "You think this is funny don't you? This is probably exactly how you wanted it, so that I can't come to the ring with Mike for that match". Corey: "Actually Steph, for once I gotta admit you're right. This whole world wants to see the best man win that match and......... JUST THEN, COREY IS HIT FROM BEHIND BY MIKE WHO IS WIELDING SOME SORT OF METAL PIPE. AFTER TOSSING COREY INTO THE BRICK WALL, HE SMACKS HIM IN THE SURGICALLY REPAIRED KNEE WITH THE PIPE. COREY GOES DOWN, WRITHING IN PAIN. BUT THEN WITH A RUNNING START, MIKE CHARGES AND KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE, BUSTING OPEN HIS NOSE. BLOOD IS SPATTERED ALL OVER THE HALLWAY FLOOR AS MIKE CROUCHES DOWN NEXT TO COREY. Money Mike: "These people want to see the best man win huh? Well not only will they see that, but I'm gonna show the world exactly why you aren't a Horsemen anymore". MIKE GRABS STEPH BY THE HAND AND THEY WALK AWAY, LEAVING A BLOODY AND BEATEN COREY. COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... A COMMERCIAL FOR AOL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... 6 Man Tag Kurt Angle, Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael vs. "High Octane" Damion West, Travis Wakeman and Bret "Hitman" Hart There was never really any semblance of a tag match here as all 6 men brawled inside and outside the ring. Angle and Hart were the legal men and Hart had just connected with a russian legsweep on Angle when he turned right into a superkick from Jamal. Wakeman then came into the ring and knocked Jamal over the rope with a clothesline but Rosey came from behind with a double sledge on Wakeman. Wakeman and Rosey began trading shots when High Octane went for the "Head on Collision". Rosey saw it coming and moved and instead, it knocked Wakeman clean out. Octane tried to help Wakeman up but Rosey came from behind and launched him out of the ring. Jamal then came off the top rope with the Air Samoa splash on Hart but Angle wouldn't settle for a pin. He slapped the ankle lock on Hart and for the first time in many, many years, wrestling fans saw the Hitman forced to tap out. Match Time: 6:28 J.R.: "I can't remember the last time I saw Bret Hart tap out folks! He gave it everything he had"! Lawler: "That just goes to show you how dangerous Kurt Angle is! I wonder if Bret Hart truly knows what he's gotten himself into here"! J.R.: "And what about High Octane and Wakeman?! Will there still be a mutual respect after that superkick"?! ANGLE's MUSIC PLAYED AS HE, JAMAL, ROSEY AND CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL BASKED IN THE GLOW OF THE VICTORY AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. OFF AIR.......
