May 10, 2006

AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, IT's OPENING MONTAGE IS SHOWN AS "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS BEFORE THE FREEDOM HALL COMES INTO THE SHOT, BEING ILLUMINATED WITH PYRO.

Jim Ross: "It is time for TWF Rampage and for the next two hours, we will be here live from Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky! Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler here folks as we thank you for letting us into your homes tonight"!

THE BASHAMS' MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS.

Jerry Lawler: "And this is one live crowd as well J.R., I can't wait to get underway"!

J.R.: "Well you won't have to wait long King because we are ready to get into the action with a first round tag team title tournament match"!

Lawler: "It's gonna be the Bashams against Cade and Murdoch. I think this crowd is gonna have a hard time choosing who to cheer for"!

CADE AND MURDOCH's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO BOOS THAT SOUND EVEN LOUDER. MURDOCH HAS HIS CUSTOMARY SNARL ON HIS FACE.

J.R.: "I think that would be the case no matter where we were as neither one of these teams has done a good job making friends. The winners here will advance to face the Horsemen, who we saw defeat Mark Jindrak and Viscera last week".

Tag Team Title Tournament 1st Round

The Bashams vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch

Two very physical teams, just coming off a match against each other on Uprising, went at it here. Cade started the match off against Danny and the two met in the ring, locking up. Cade took him into a standing side headlock but Danny backed him to the ropes and whipped him to the other side. Cade came off with a shoulder tackle before hitting the ropes. Danny ducked an ensuing clothesline and put Cade down with a judo style takedown. Doug tagged into the match and he and Danny both began to stomp away at Cade. Murdoch came into the ring and traded off with Danny, finally knocking him through the ring ropes. But Doug came from behind with a running knee that took Murdoch out of the ring. Cade was waiting for Doug however and he kicked him in the midsection before delivering a nice swinging neckbreaker. Back in his corner, Murdoch made the tag and came into the ring with a running knee lift on Doug. He then locked in a version of the camel clutch but Danny came in and kicked him in the head to break it up. This brought Cade into the ring and he and Danny went at it but referee Jose Mendez stepped in and forced Cade back to his corner. While this was going on, the Bashams caught Murdoch with a great double team move. As Danny clotheslined him, Doug took him down with a russian leg sweep. But not only that, Danny, the illegal man, stayed in the ring as the Bashams performed one of their classic switches. Frustrated by this, Cade came in and lowblowed Danny from behind. But he did it right in front of Mendez who called for the bell.

Match Time: 6:08

J.R.: "I believe the referee has disqualified Cade and Murdoch for that lowblow, he should've anyway"!

DANNY ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND HE AND DOUG LEFT AS CADE AND MURDOCH CHALLENGED THEM TO GET BACK IN.

Lawler: "Well Cade and Murdoch want some more of Doug and Danny but they blew it! They essentially just threw away a chance to be tag team champions"!

J.R.: "Well no one ever accused Cade or Murdoch of being a rocket scientist and the Bashams have advanced to the second round to take on the Horsemen".

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

JOHNNY JETER AND MATT HARDY ARE SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

Johnny Jeter: "Come on Matt, you gonna tell me who you've challenged tonight yet or what"?

Matt Hardy: "In just a minute, but I want to know where you know these.... these cheerleaders who came out last week while I was beating the hell out of Rey Mysterio".

Jeter: "Oh, they're just some old friends of mine".

Hardy: "Old friends huh? I wonder if they believe in the force of Mattitude. But, that's a story for another day because tonight, I have challenged Travis Wakeman, Mr. World champion to a match tonight".

WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE, HARDY WALKS OFF AND JETER LOOKS VERY SURPRISED.

Jeter: "You what"?!

JETER PUTS HIS HANDS ON HIS HEAD AND FOLLOWS MATT AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GATORADE.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE......

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE SHOT IS INSIDE THE HORSEMEN DRESSING ROOM. CARNEY AND JJ RAMPLIN ARE TALKING WHEN JASON OLIVER WALKS UP.

Jason Oliver: "Just curious guys, did Mike congratulate you two on your win last week"?

JUST THEN, A LOT OF SHOUTING IS HEARD OUTSIDE THE DRESSING ROOM.

Carney: "What the........

OLIVER WALKS TO THE DOOR AND OPENS IT TO SEE STEPHANIE McMAHON AND STACY SNOW STANDING ACROSS FROM ONE ANOTHER.

Stephanie McMahon: "Like I said, I want you to stay the hell away from Jason or any of the other Horsemen for that matter".

Stacy Snow: "Not that I care what you say Stephanie, but Jason was the one who kissed me"!

WITH THAT, STEPHANIE SLAPS STACY ACROSS THE FACE. STACY TRIES TO RETALIATE BUT OLIVER STEPS IN BETWEEN THEM AS CARNEY AND RAMPLIN COME OUT TO HELP. THEY GET STEPHANIE INSIDE THE DRESSING ROOM AND SLAM THE DOOR SHUT.

Stacy: "What the hell is her problem"?

Oliver: "Look Stacy, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to get you into this".

STACY JUST TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AND OLIVER IS DEFINITELY UPSET.

Finlay vs. Mackenzie Rose

What a great match this was, probably the best of the night. Finlay tried to impose his will very physically against Rose but Rose took everything he could dish out and took control of the match with a nice chokeslam. He then shot Finlay to the ropes and caught him with a powerslam, hooking the leg for the 1........2........, but Finlay kicked out. Rose stayed on the attack though, shooting Finlay to the corner and following in with a stiff clothesline. He then showed off his athleticism with a perfect standing dropkick. Rose called for the "Davidson Driver" and it looked like he was going to put the cap on a huge win but Finlay countered out with a backdrop. He then hit the ropes and kicked Rose right in the face before wrapping him up with his legs and locking in a dragon sleeper. Rose was in serious trouble and looked like he was about to tap out but finally, referee Chad Patton went to check his arms. His right arm dropped twice and Rose looked lifeless but on the third attempt, he held it up, bringing the crowd back into it. Finlay tried to hold him off but Rose gained the strength to get to his feet and deliver a backdrop suplex. He hit the ropes and Finlay swung wildly with a clothesline but Rose ducked before coming off the other side with a flying shoulderblock. But just then, a little man dressed as a leprechaun came running out and got on the apron. Rose saw him and became distracted by his presence, allowing Finlay to come from behind with a shot to the back of the head. Finlay then picked Rose up for his inverted suplex drop, putting Rose down right on his head for the victory.

Match Time: 8:17

J.R.: "What the hell was that?! There's a damn leprechaun out here"!

Lawler: (laughing) "Oh this is great J.R., you know what leprechaun's bring don't you? Not that Finlay needed any luck to beat Mackenzie Rose"!

FINLAY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT WITH THE LEPRECHAUN ON HIS SHOULDER's AS ROSE POUNDED THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION.

J.R.: "Well it looked to me like Rose was on his way to winning this match so tonight, I'd say he needed it! What the hell is going on around here anyway"?!

BACKSTAGE......

KRISTAL IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN CARLITO COMES UP.

Kristal: "Carlito, last time on Rampage, we saw you try and get involved in High Octane's match with Tatanka, but you just got a Head on Collision for your troubles, what are your thoughts on this and what do you have against High Octane"?

Carlito: "I didn't have anything against him until he told me he was gonna kick my teeth down my throat when I tried to have a conversation with him. What happens when you tell Carlito something like that? You pay the price! And soon High Octane, you'll wish that you would've never superkicked Carlito".

CARLITO TAKES A BITE OUT OF AN APPLE AND LEAVES THE SHOT. BUT HE COMES BACK AND KRISTAL DROPS HER HEAD, SHIELDING HERSELF WITH HER HANDS. CARLITO JUST LAUGHS AND SHE COMES BACK UP, LAUGHING BUT CARLITO SPITS THE APPLE RIGHT IN HER FACE.

Carlito: "Now that.... that was cool".

J.R.: "That sure as hell wasn't cool! That's a woman for God's sake"!

SHAWN MICHAELS IS SHOWN IN THE RING AND HE IS LOUDLY BEING BOOED BUT IT BRINGS A SMILE TO HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Well I think it was pretty cool and I'll tell ya what else is cool, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels has joined us out here"!

Shawn Michaels: "Now I know last week you guys were all pretty happy to see Rob Van Dam hit me with a Five Star Frogsplash!

THE CROWD CHEERS

But just like John Cena, RVD has made a bad, bad choice. So RVD, if you're in the back, why don't you come out here right now and let these people know if you'll face me at Evil Intentions or not?! Why don't you let these fans know if you want to give them the match they've always wanted to see"?!

Lawler: "Is he challenging him to a match"?

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS AS "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT WITH A MIC IN HIS HANDS.

J.R.: "It sure sounds that way King and here comes RVD"!

"RVD" CHANTS ECHO THROUGH FREEDOM HALL AS MICHAELS JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD.

Rob Van Dam: "Ya know Shawn, I don't know what it is with you lately. Because you know just as well as I do that the fans are the one that made you the superstar you are today! These fans are the ones that stood behind you after you got jumped that one time in Syracuse! Oh yeah, didn't think I'd go there did ya?

MICHAELS SEEMS VERY UPSET AT RVD's COMMENTS.

But if you want a match with me, a match people have wanted to see for years, then far be it from me to be the one who disappoints the people! Ya see Shawn, back when I was a part of ECW, we had a creed where we gave the people what they wanted to see! There was no pulling our pants down and acting like a ten year old on camera, the way you used to do for attention! No, it was all about what went on in that ring and if the people wanted to see it....... we gave it to them! And that's exactly what I plan on doing at Evil Intentions Shawn and we will see which three letters mean more, H-B-K or (fans chant along) R-V-D"!

RVD DROPS THE MIC AS "ONE OF A KIND" PLAYS AGAIN AND MICHAELS IS SHOWN, JUST SMILING.

J.R.: "I have to agree one hundred percent with what RVD just said and King, that match is worth the price of admission alone for that event"!

Lawler: "I just can't believe the shots he just took at Michaels, saying the fans made him who he is and even referring back to his days with DX"!

J.R.: "Like I said a moment ago, I agree one hundred percent with what RVD just said"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR BEST BUY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR THE TWF MALL.

RETURN FROM BREAK....

MELINA IS SHOWN AT AN UNKNOWN LOCATION AND SHE APPROACHES A SECURITY GUARD WHO IS STANDING AT THE DOOR.

Melina: "Hello, I'm just here for the TWF Magazine photoshoot".

THE GUARD OPENS THE DOOR FOR HER.

Security Guard: "It's right in here".

MELINA WALKS IN AND THE GUARD STARES AT HER FROM BEHIND AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE ARENA.

JASON OLIVER, CARNEY AND JJ RAMPLIN ARE SHOWN WALKING DOWN A HALLWAY WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON WHEN MONEY MIKE COMES FROM AROUND THE CORNER.

Stephanie: "There you are".

Money Mike: "Sorry honey, but I've been in Mick Foley's office taking care of business. Jason, it took some convincing, but I got him to give you a shot at the King of Cable title at Evil Intentions.

CARNEY AND RAMPLIN CONGRATULATE OLIVER.

And then, and most importantly, he has given me some time to go to the ring and once again address The Starman. So you guys go take care of this six man tag and I'll catch up with you later".

6 man tag

The Horsemen vs. Shelton Benjamin, Mark Jindrak and Viscera

It was revealed moments earlier by Money Mike that Jason Oliver would challenge Shelton Benjamin for the King of Cable title at Evil Intentions and Shelton asked to start this match with Oliver and they gave a quick but very good preview of what was to come at the pay-per-view. After escaping an attempt at the dragon whip kick, Oliver locked in a sleeper hold before going to the mat with Benjamin in what appeared to be a rear naked choke. Viscera came into the ring to try and help his partner but he was met by both Ramplin and Carney who were able to knock him over the top rope and to the floor with a double dropkick. But Jindrak came into the ring and was able to finally get Oliver to break the hold with a stomp to the head. Oliver got up and went at it with Jindrak but Jindrak whipped him into the corner and Benjamin flew in with a stinger splash. He then went for the t-bone but Stephanie got up on the apron. Jindrak grabbed her by the hair but Carney and Ramplin came around and grabbed him by the feet, tripping him up and pulling him out. Jindrak got up and popped Carney with a left jab that put him on the floor but Ramplin grabbed a steel chair and pounded it over the head of Jindrak as referee Scott Martin called for the bell, disqualifying the Horsemen.

Match Time: 6:11

*RESULTS WILL BE CONDENSED FROM THIS POINT*

BACKSTAGE.....

AUSTIN PORTEAU IS SHOWN WITH VICTORIA AND THEY SEEM TO BE SHARING AN INTIMATE MOMENT.

Austin Porteau: "I just gotta say it again Victoria, thank you for taking care of my problem. Now, I can focus on getting things done around here instead of having her get all the attention".

Victoria: "No problem.... no problem at all".

WITH THAT, PORTEAU KISSES VICTORIA BEFORE THE SHOT TRANSFERS TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE MACKENZIE ROSE IS SHOWN ON THE PHONE.

Mackenzie Rose: "I know, did you see that?! A damn leprechaun man. I'm tellin' you, I can't take much more of this. (pauses) No, I don't need any help right now, I was an eigthy seven time champ in other companies for a reason. (pause) Okay, talk to ya later".

Tatanka vs. "High Octane" Damion West

This was a match that the Native American Tatanka asked for, looking to avenge the loss he suffered last week. But in the early going, he couldn't keep up with High Octane's speed and after catching him with a flying forearm, West nipped up and drilled him with a spinning heel kick that got him a 2 count. Octane pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes. He dropped down and as Tatanka came off the other side, he went for a leapfrog but Tatanka took him right out of the air and powerslammed him. Tatanka was then on the warpath and after back to back tomahawk chops, he scooped him up for a bodyslam before climbing the turnbuckle. West got up and Tatanka flew off with another tomahawk chop. Things were well in Tatanka's favor and he knew it as he lifted West up for the "Trail's End" but Octane slipped off his shoulders and spun him around for a stiff DDT. Octane rolled him over and topped him, hooking the leg for the 1........2........., but Tatanka kicked out. Before Octane could follow up with another move, he was attacked from behind by Carlito as referee Jim Korderas furiously called for the bell. Still feeling the effects of the DDT, Tatanka rolled out of the ring as Carlito wailed away on Octane. He then got him up for his roll of the dice DDT before taking a bite of apple and doing what High Octane warned him not to last week.... spitting it in his face!

BACKSTAGE......

TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN WITH THE 4 MALE CHEERLEADERS WHO MADE THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE ON THE LAST RAMPAGE.

Kenny: "Kenny"!

Mikey: "Mikey"!

Nicky: "Nicky"!

Grisham: "Okay...... well guys, a couple weeks ago, you decided to get involved in a match between Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio and tonight, you will face........

JUST THEN, MATT CRUZ AND REY MYSTERIO ENTER THE SHOT, LAUGHING AND SHAKING THEIR HEADS.

Rey Mysterio: "Cheerleaders? Are you guys kidding"?

Matt Cruz: "Look, I know you guys wanted to show up here on Rampage and make an impact, but you picked the wrong guys to do it against. So tonight, Rey Rey and I are gonna show you jotos the ropes here on Rampage..... now come up with a cheer for that..... bitches".

CRUZ AND MYSTERIO WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

UNSUSPECTING OF THE ATTACK, TRISH DOES HER BEST TO FIGHT BACK BUT AFTER BEING SLAPPED ACROSS THE FACE, SHE IS HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE CAMERA. TRISH IS DOWN AND OUT.

Melina: "You still want to mess with me, bitch? Ugh"!

MELINA WALKS AWAY AS THE CAMERAMAN CHECKS ON TRISH.

Cameraman: "Security"!

Tag Team Title Tournament 1st Round

Matt Cruz and Rey Mysterio vs. The Spirit Squad: Kenny and Nicky w/ Mikey and Mitch

The fans were both annoyed with the antics of the Squad but also impressed by their sheer athleticism. After taking Cruz out of the equation with a triple team outside the ring, they isolated Rey in the ring and beat on him. After a cradle suplex by Nicky, Kenny went to the top rope and flew off with possibly the most impressive guillotine legdrop ever witnessed. He made the cover and the 3 count was academic but at the last minute, Cruz came in to make the save. Cruz then took a shot at Kenny but missed and Nicky ran across the ring, clotheslining him out. With referee Jack Doan's back to them, Mitch pulled out a mini trampoline and set it up as Mikey sprung off of it, drilling Cruz with a clothesline. In the ring, Nicky whipped Rey to the corner and then tried to sling Kenny into him but Rey moved and Kenny posted his right shoulder very hard. Nicky grabbed Rey from behind for a backdrop suplex but Rey flipped off his shoulder and dropkicked him in the back, knocking him right between the top and middle ring ropes. Rey wasted no time hitting Nicky with the 6-1-9 before tagging in Cruz. Then, Rey hit the ropes and launched himself onto all 3 of the other Spirit Squad members with a corkscrew attack. Nicky got up and Cruz grabbed him for a fisherman's buster, hooking the leg for the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 7:38

BACKSTAGE......

KRISTAL IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH MAX OGDEN.

Kristal: "Max, in a matter of moments, fellow Hart Family member Sylvain Grenier will go one on one with Joe Corey, what do you think will happen there"?

Max Ogden: "Are you serious? Man, the boys in the back said you were stupid but I didn't think it was that bad.

KRISTAL IS VERY OFFENDED BY THAT COMMENT.

Anyway, let's talk about what I want to talk about. Jake Roberts, you decided to show up on the last Rampage and teach me a lesson. It seems you were able to take time out of your beer drinking, line sniffing schedule to come hit me with a DDT. What was it Jake? Mad that I said I'd bitch slap you back to the eighties if I ever saw you around here? Sure, you're pretty tough sneaking up on guys with a twenty foot snake. But do you have the guts to get in my face..... do ya Jake? I don't think you do, but I'd love for you to prove me wrong".

MONEY MIKE COMES TO THE RING AND REITERATES WHAT HE SAID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. HE IS OFFERING $25,000 TO THE STARMAN TO BECOME THE FIFTH HORSEMAN. BUT JOHN CENA COMES OUT AND TELLS MIKE THAT FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY, HE'LL PUT ON A STARMAN SUIT, KICK HIS ASS A FEW TIMES AND JOIN THE HORSEMEN, AT LEAST FOR A DAY. BUT HE TELLS MIKE HE'D BETTER SAVE THE MONEY BECAUSE STEPHANIE IS SURE TO WANT SOME MORE PLASTIC SURGERY SOON. THAT COMMENT SETS MIKE OFF AND HE STRIKES CENA WITH A RIGHT HAND WHICH STARTS A BRAWL BETWEEN THE TWO. SEVERAL OFFICIALS COME OUT FROM THE BACK AND SEPERATE THE TWO, BUT THEY HAVE A HARD TIME DOING SO AS THE TWO MEN ARE FIRED UP.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE.....

Sylvain Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart vs. "The Show" Joe Corey

Grenier provided a tough matchup for Corey in this one as the oft injured knee of Corey became a target. After reversing an irish whip, Corey caught him with a spinebuster and went to lock in the Cage but Jimmy Hart shouted something at Corey through his megaphone to the effect of "Everyone knows you're the Starman" and that allowed Grenier to roll him up from behind for the 1........2........, but Corey kicked out. Grenier dropped him with a clothesline when they got to their feet and then he loaded him up for his implant DDT that he calls the "3 seconds of Fame" but Corey swung him around using Grenier's right arm and then hooked him up for the "Showstopper" which gave him the win.

Match Time: 6:42

But after the match, Corey was attacked from behind by Max Ogden who had Hart's megaphone. Corey got back up but got hit with the megaphone again before Ogden picked him up and yelled "You still glad you didn't join us" before blasting him a third time with the megaphone. Corey was busted wide open and the Hart Family was very proud of themselves.

BACKSTAGE.... MICK FOLEY's OFFICE.......

MICK FOLEY IS IN HIS OFFICE TALKING WITH STACY SNOW WHEN THE DOOR SLAMS OPEN AND AN IRATE MONEY MIKE COMES IN.

Mick Foley: "Uh, a simple knock would've been okay".

Money Mike: "What the hell is she doing here"?

Foley: "Well, not that it's any of your business, but she wants a match with your little girlfriend, the billion dollar princess".

Money Mike: "It's not my business? She's my..... and she's not even a damn wrestler! But nevermind that! Did you see what just happened out there"?!

Foley: "Between the laughter, I sure did".

Money Mike: "I want Cena in a match and I want it at Evil Intentions. I've already beaten him once and this time, it'll be nothing to do it again. Nobody disrespects me like that"!

Foley: "Uh, no offense, but the Starman seems to be disrespecting you everywhere we go. I mean, don't you think for twenty five grand, he would've been here by now"?

Money Mike: "You're all in for a surprise. You have all just assumed that this guy is someone who wants to take me out, but there's no real proof of that. And when the time is right, he will be here and the Horsemen will ride as five. Now, do I have the match or not"?

Foley: "Yeah, you've got the match. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to finish my conversation with Stacy, who was here first".

MONEY MIKE GIVES STACY A DIRTY LOOK BEFORE LEAVING THE OFFICE.

J.R. ANNOUNCES THAT KURT ANGLE WILL CHALLENGE TRAVIS WAKEMAN FOR THE WORLD TITLE IN THE MAIN EVENT AT EVIL INTENTIONS.

Non-Title Match

Matt Hardy w/ Johnny Jeter vs. World Champ Travis Wakeman

Shortly into this match, Kurt Angle came out with a chair and sat at the top of the ramp, looking on. Hardy was very competitive, catching Wakeman with the Side Effect and the teardrop legdrop but he could only manage a 2 count out of it. Wakeman got out of the "Twist of Fate" and caught Matt with a powerslam before hitting the ropes but Jeter grabbed his foot. Wakeman reached through the ropes, trying to grab Jeter but Matt came from behind with a running kick to the back of the head that knocked him to the floor. From the apron, Matt leaped off but Wakeman drove a fist into his stomach before clotheslining Jeter. Wakeman then lifted Hardy up and delivered the "Royal Flush" on the outside of the ring, something we'd never seen before. It turned into a tense moment as Matt was twitching on the floor. But showing no sympathy, Wakeman rolled him into the ring and covered him for the win. Angle looked very concerned as Wakeman stood in the ring with the title raised in right hand before pointing at him with his left as the shot faded out.
