It was time for another tour of Canada and the folks up north came out in droves to witness TWF Rampage with Evil Intentions just around the corner. Viscera vs. Trevor Murdoch This seemed like quite the mismatch but Murdoch was able to hold his own against the nearly 500 pound Viscera. After catching Murdoch running in with an amazing wheel kick, Viscera went for his big splash but Murdoch rolled out of the way. He then tried to whip him to the corner but Vis reversed it and charged in. But nobody was home and Murdoch was able to gain the position to roll him up and then stick his feet on the middle ring rope for extra leverage, something the referee didn't see as he made the 3 count. Marty Jannetty vs. Johnny Jeter It was a great oppurtunity for the little M'Fer to make a name for himself against the veteran Jannetty but he was off with his spinning roundhouse kick that he calls the Johnny Go 'Round and Jannetty followed up with a perfect Rocker Dropper and covered him for the win. Strife vs. Lance Cade Strife's freefall from the top of the rankings continued in this match as he missed with a running boot and had his leg taken out by a chop block. Cade then hit the ropes as Strife got up in a lot of pain and clubbed him with a devastating lariat to get the victory. As Cade celebrated the huge upset win, his music played while most of the crowd booed and the shot faded out. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, RIGHT OF THE SHOOT, HOLLYWOOD HEAT's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS AS A RED CARPET IS ROLLED OUT AND SEVERAL PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THEM FLASH THEIR CAMERAS. Jim Ross: "We are north of the border and live as live gets for TWF Rampage and King, we're kickin' things off with the final match in the first round of the tag team title tournament"! Jerry Lawler: "And the way I understand it, we're actually gonna have a second round match tonight as well! Oh my gosh look at that"! MELINA COMPLETED HER JAW DROPPING RING ENTRANCE AS THE MALES IN THE CROWD LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. J.R.: "Yeah, ya need a bib there King? But you are correct, the Horsemen will face the Bashams in a second round match later tonight"! "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND THAT BRINGS OUT JAMAL AND ROSEY, ALONG WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. Lawler: "Well I hope Melina has her boys ready because they're gonna have their hands full with these guys"! J.R.: "Hollywood Heat has drawn the multiple time tag team champions in Jamal and Rosey and you hit the nail on the head King, they will have their hands full here". Tag Team Title Tournament 1st Round Hollywood Heat w/ Melina vs. Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael This match started off with all 4 men in the ring and Mercury and Blaze were easily outmatched by the much bigger Samoan tandem. After being knocked out of the ring, both members of Hollywood Heat went to Melina to regroup. Blaze then slid into the ring across from Jamal who beat his chest, challenging Blaze to come at him. Blaze ran at him with a right hand but Jamal blocked it and smashed him with a double thrust to the throat. Rosey tagged into the match and hit Blaze with a clothesline followed by a spinning legdrop. Blaze was in a lot of trouble but Mercury came in to break it up. Referee Jose Mendez forced Mercury back to his corner and Jamal came into the ring and with Rosey, drilled Blaze with a double clothesline. Rosey then lifted Blaze up for a Samoan drop and spun around but Mercury came into the ring and punched Rosey right in the mouth. Blaze slipped off the shoulders and was able to make the tag as Mercury came in, working on Rosey by attacked his lower extremities. Hollywood Heat then used Melina to distract Mendez, forcing several illegal double teams. As Blaze used the tag team rope to choke Rosey, Crystal had had enough and she came around the side of the ring, spearing Melina to the floor. The crowd went crazy as the two divas struggled on the floor, trading shots. But in the ring, Jamal and Rosey quickly overcame Hollywood Heat and after tossing Blaze over the top rope, they put Mercury down with a double superkick. Jamal then went to the top rope for the Air Samoa splash but before he could fly off, Blaze smashed him across the back with a steel chair. Mendez turned at the sound to see Blaze holding the chair and he called for the bell. Mercury then went and pulled Melina off Crystal as Lilian Garcia made the official announcement, giving the match to Jamal and Rosey by DQ. Match Time: 6:28 J.R.: "Hollywood Heat tried to take a shortcut by using the steel chair and all they did was essentially throw their chance at becoming tag team champs out the window"! Lawler: "I just wanna see the women go at it.... let 'em go"! "3 MINUTES" KICKED UP AGAIN AS JAMAL AND ROSEY STOOD IN THE RING WITH CRYSTAL WHO WAS STILL IN A VERBAL MATCH WITH MELINA. J.R.: "With the disqualification victory, Jamal and Rosey have advanced to face Matt Cruz and Rey Mysterio in the second round"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... ADORNED IN HIS PIRATE CLOTHING, PAUL BIRCHILL IS SHOWN WALKING DOWN THE HALL WHEN HE COMES ACROSS A MIDGET WITH BLEACHED BLONDE HAIR, DRESSED AS A LEPRECHAUN. Paul Birchill: "Are you kidding me? A bloody leprechaun"? BIRCHILL BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER WHEN FINLAY COMES UP. Finlay: "You got a problem with my friend"? Birchill: "He's..... he's..... Finlay: "He's what"?! Birchill: "Look, I don't feel like fighting with you. Have some pearls". BIRCHILL REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND PULLS OUT A PEARL NECKLACE BUT BEFORE HE CAN PUT IT AROUND THE NECK OF FINLAY, HE DRILLS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND. BIRCHILL FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN AND THE FIGHT IS ON. OFFICIALS ARE FORCED TO STEP IN BUT JUST AS THEY DO, THE LEPRECHAUN COMES UP AND PUNCHES BIRCHILL IN THE GROIN. J.R.: "Ah did you see that"! Lawler: "That little idiot just punched Birchill in the........ COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR ESPN MOBILE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NBA FINALS STARTING IN JUNE. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, KRISTAL LOOKS VERY EXCITED AS SHE IS READY TO INTERVIEW JOHN CENA AS THE FANS INSIDE GIVE A MIXED REACTION WHICH CENA JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD TO. Kristal: "John Cena, last week you decided to come to the ring during Money Mike's offering of twenty five thousand dollars to the Starman and we later learned that you two will meet one on one at Evil Intentions". John Cena: "Money Mike, you kill me man. It's just, this is the first mention of money, that Money Mike has made. I really wanted to see if the dude actually has the cash! (laughs) But in all seriousness, there is one person who knows whether Starman will take the money or not..... and you're looking at him". CENA TURNS AND WALKS AWAY. Kristal: "John, hold on, wait......... J.R.: "What"? WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A COLLEGE FOOTBALL FIGHT SONG PLAYS AND THE SPIRIT SQUAD COMES OUT TO SOME MAJOR HEAT. Lawler: "I think Cena just said he knows who the Starman is"! J.R.: "That's what it sounded like to me too but for whatever reason, my thoughts were erased by the high pitched voices of these guys"! Lawler: "Yeah, and get ready for your mind to be mesmerized by the athletic ability of these guys J.R."! J.R.: "Well I won't take that away from them, there's no questioning that but are they ever......... Lawler: "Don't say it J.R.". "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ COMES TO THE RING TO A BIG CHEER. J.R.: "Okay, I'll let the actions of this youngster do the talking because I'm pretty damn sure he and I share the same thoughts"! Lawler: "Well Matt Cruz knows first hand how good these guys are, he's already faced them"! J.R.: "Well they weren't good enough because it was Cruz and Rey Mysterio who advanced in the tag team title tournament with a win over them". BEFORE CRUZ GETS INTO THE RING, ALL 5 MEMBERS OF THE SPIRIT SQUAD LINE UP IN THE RING WITH HEADSETS ON. Mitch: "Ready....... okay"! Spirit Squad: "We've got Spirit yes we do, we've got Spirit how 'bout you"?! THEY ALL POINT AT CRUZ WITH THEIR QUESTION BUT HE GETS IN THE RING AND SMASHES MITCH WITH A FOREARM. REFEREE SCOTT MARTIN THEN HERDS NICKY OUT OF THE RING BUT MIKEY GETS CRUZ WITH A LOW BLOW AND GETS OUT OF THE RING AND MARTIN CALLS FOR THE BELL TO START THE MATCH. Kenny w/ Nicky, Mikey and Mitch vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz With Cruz in a lot of pain, the 20 year old Kenny took his shots, peppering him with jabs before nailing a standing dropkick. He then ran to the turnbuckle and flipped himself in the air into a moonsault, landing right on Cruz for the cover but Martin could only get a 2 count. Kenny argued with the count but stayed right on Cruz as he got to one knee. But after missing with a running clothesline, he came off the ropes and Cruz drilled him with a back elbow followed by a nice backdrop suplex. Cruz then tried to go for the Cloverleaf but Kenny saw it coming and struggled free before rolling out of the ring with the rest of the Squad. Cruz tried to follow but Martin held him back. Nicky then tried to get into the ring but Cruz dropped him with a right hand. Kenny got on the apron on the other side however and shot himself in with a tremendous bulldog. He hooked the leg and got 1........2.........., but Cruz was up. Kenny came back with a swinging neckbreaker before going to the top rope, ready for his flying legdrop. He flew off with it but at the last second, Cruz rolled out of the way. He then got up and caught Kenny with back to back belly to belly suplexes, taking control of the match when Mitch, Nicky and Mikey all came into the ring, attacking the former NCAA champion from behind as Martin signaled for the bell. Match Time: 5:08 J.R.: "Now what the hell is this..... it's four on one"! Lawler: "This is what having spirit gets ya, I guess"! AFTER HANDING IT TO CRUZ, THE SPIRIT SQUAD EACH GRABBED ONE OF HIS LIMBS BEFORE THEY FLUNG HIM AS HIGH AS THEY COULD INTO THE AIR AND HE LANDED HARD ON THE MAT. THE SQUAD's MUSIC HIT AS THE CROWD MADLY BOOED. J.R.: "The match will go down as a disqualification victory for Matt Cruz but these guys have really given people a reason not to like them"! Lawler: "You mean, other than they're annoying"? J.R.: "You said it". THE SPIRIT SQUAD LOOKED BACK AT THE RING, VERY PROUD OF THEIR WORK AS CRUZ SLOWLY GOT UP. BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS SHOW MACKENZIE ROSE WHO SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING WITH A DECISION AS HE PICKS UP A CELL PHONE AND STARTS TO DIAL A NUMBER BUT HANGS UP. JUST THEN, MARTY JANNETTY COMES UP. Marty Jannetty: "Hey Mackenzie, look man, you've seemed really unhappy lately. Now I know you expected things to go better for yourself around here, but hang in there man, you've got what it takes. So I just wanted........ ROSE STANDS UP Mackenzie Rose: "I don't want to hear your advice...... I didn't write to Dear Abby. I can handle this..... by myself". ROSE WALKS AWAY AND JANNETTY LOOKS SURPRISED. JUST THEN, "NO CHANCE" HITS AND VINCE McMAHON COMES OUT IN A GREY SUIT, POWER WALKING TO THE RING TO A VERY MIXED REACTION. J.R.: "What.... what the heck is this?! It's the chairman of the TWF, King"! Lawler: "I can't believe it J.R., I didn't know Vince McMahon was gonna be here tonight"! J.R.: "When was the last time we saw Vince McMahon on TWF Programming? It's been awhile"! Vince McMahon: "Well...... thank you! I've decided to come out here tonight to make a major announcement! And in one of my favorite cities no less" A LOT OF THE FANS CHEER BUT OTHERS BOO AT THAT COMMENT. So before I get on my soapbox about what a hellhole Montreal is, I would like for our World champion to come to the ring right now"! J.R.: "What's he want with Wakeman"? "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER AND HE HAS THE WORLD TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. Lawler: "Who knows, but here he comes"! WAKEMAN GETS IN THE RING, HIS EYES STILL HAVEN'T STRAYED FROM VINCE. Vince: "Now let's get right to the point Wakeman, because lord knows I don't like you! So what I want to announce is that........ Travis Wakeman: "Can't you ever just come out and treat people with some respect Vince? And if you can't, why not send someone out here to make your stupid announcement? I mean, do you think these people give a crap about you or what you think about Montreal? By the way, aren't you missing something? VINCE GIVES HIM A WEIRD LOOK. Where's the twenty five year old woman hanging off your arm? Ya know, the one you always seem to have around so that people think you're a player of something. Man Vinnie, you're losing your touch". Vince: "Shut up!!!!! The reason why I am out here is to announce that next week on TWF Main Event, we will be holding a TWF draft lottery"! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS THAT J.R.: "Oh my, that's huge"! Vince: "And who knows, maybe I'll make it so that you get drafted over to PrimeTime. After all, I seem to remember some sort of stipulation that prevents you from holding the top title over there". Lawler: "Oh boy". WAKEMAN DROPS HIS MIC AND GETS IN VINCE's FACE AND VINCE MAKES HIM TAKE A STEP BACK BY SLAPPING HIM ACROSS THE FACE! Vince: "Don't you ever....... WAKEMAN RETALIATES WITH A RIGHT HAND, KNOCKING VINCE TO THE MAT AND SENDING THE CROWD INTO A FRENZY AS "MAKE WAY" HITS AGAIN. J.R.: "Oh my God..... he just cold cocked the chairman"! Lawler: "And he's gonna pay for it! This has suspension written all over it"! WAKEMAN SLAPPED HANDS WITH SOME OF THE FANS AS VINCE SAT UP, HOLDING HIS JAW AND HE WAS JUST SEETHING. J.R.: "Well we know that next week on TWF Main Event, we will have another draft lottery and I can only imagine what's going on backstage over that announcement"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR PURINA DOG CHOW IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR KODAK FILM. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK AND TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING WITH KURT ANGLE. Todd Grisham: "Kurt, we just heard it from the chairman himself that next week on TWF Main Event, there will be a draft lottery! What do you think of this"? Kurt Angle: "Todd, I only have one thing on my mind and that's making Travis Wakeman tap at Evil Intentions and getting back what everyone knows I deserve... the World title! As far as tonight is concerned, I have my mind on Mark Jindrak, and I plan to make an example out of him". ANGLE WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE RING WHERE ROB STORM IS AS THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. Lawler: "Now that's what I call focus". "SEXY BOY" STARTS UP AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. J.R.: "It sure is and we will see that match between Angle and Mark Jindrak later but right now, it's Shawn Michaels and Canada's favorite son, Rob Storm". Lawler: "Well we know that Shawn Michaels has had his issues with the TWF fans lately but he has had issues with fans here in Canada for a long, long time"! J.R.: "Rob Storm has the crowd behind him tonight King and as we've seen in recent weeks, despite his efforts to lure superstars away from the fans, it has all blown up in HBK's face". Rob Storm vs. Shawn Michaels These two started the match with some basic chain wrestling and after being put in a hammerlock, Michaels countered with a back elbow right to the chops of Storm. He then hit the ropes but Storm flew up with a calf kick that caught Michaels good. The crowd was very much behind Storm as he delivered a german suplex for a very, very near fall. Storm stayed on the attacked and after bouncing off the ropes, he drilled Michaels with a basement dropkick. With Michaels in a lot of trouble, Storm went to the outside and climbed to the top rope but Michaels pushed referee Jim Korderas into the ropes, crotching Storm. Korderas gave Michaels a warning and he claimed it was an accident before climbing to the turnbuckle, looking to bring him off with a superplex but Storm popped him twice in the ribs before pushing Michaels to the mat. But HBK's athletic ability allowed him to get his feet quickly and when Storm jumped off, he kicked him right in the mouth with the "Sweet Chin Music" before covering him and hooking the leg for the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 6:18 J.R.: "Oh what a shot! Nobody's gettin' up after that"! Lawler: "We might be able to call that the superkick heard 'round Canada"! MICHAELS IMMEDIATELY ASKED FOR A MICROPHONE. J.R.: "Now it looks like Michaels is gonna talk". Shawn Michaels: "I gotta know, what do you think of Canada's favorite son now? THE FANS LOUDLY BOO. Just like Bret Hart, walk off and never show your face again Storm! Oh would you people shut up! Ya know what you remind me of? And this is great because of who I am facing at Evil Intentions. But you people here north of the border remind me off all those idiots that used to pack that bingo hall and bring plastic heads and toilet seat covers to the arena! Ya know, the fans of ECW"! Lawler: "Oh boy, he's not gonna go here is he"? A LOUD "ECW" CHANT STARTS UP. J.R.: "Even here in Canada, ECW is never forgotten"! Michaels: "Yeah, go ahead and chant it! But make sure you add on a few words after the ECW. Ya know, words like sucks or went bankrupt! That's right, despite probably the most loyal fans in wrestling history..... what happened to ECW? Proving once again that you people have........ J.R.: "Oh look out"! RVD HIT THE RING TO AN ENORMOUS POP AND HIT MICHAELS WITH RIGHTS AND LEFTS BEFORE PUTTING HIM DOWN WITH A JUMPING SPIN KICK. RVD THEN QUICKLY WENT TO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR THE 5 STAR FROGSPLASH AS THE CROWD ROSE FROM THEIR SEATS BUT JUST BEFORE HE FLEW OFF, HBK ROLLED OUT OF THE RING, CAUSING THE CROWD TO BOO SOME MORE. Lawler: "Get out of there Michaels". J.R.: "Michaels escaped this time, but if you ask me, he's got a huge bullseye on his chest and RVD has his sights set on it"! BACKSTAGE....... MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN IN THE BACK PACING BACK AND FORTH WHEN JASON OLIVER ENTERS THE SHOT, OUT OF BREATH. Money Mike: "What'd you do, run into Stacy Snow again"? Jason Oliver: "No, you asked me to go look for Cena to have him give me some answers". Money Mike: "And........ Oliver: "And I couldn't find him, I looked and I know our match is coming up soon". Money Mike: "That's fine. He knows who Starman is huh? Well tonight, we'll just beat the answer out of him". Kurt Angle vs. Mark Jindrak With the performance Travis Wakeman had last week, Kurt Angle knew he'd need an impressive showing and he got one. Jindrak was able to keep up with him early and after escaping the Angle Slam, he put Angle down with a left hook that seemed to knock him out. Jindrak went for the cover but at 2 and 3 quarters, Angle got a shoulder up off the mat. Jindrak tried to go to the corner but Angle grabbed his foot and tripped him up, turning it into the Ankle Lock. In a ton of pain, Jindrak fought the hold and was somehow able to use a somersault-like counter to throw Angle off. Angle came back with a clothesline but Jindrak ducked and drilled him with a dropkick. He then went to the apron and when Angle got up, Jindrak launched himself with a slingshot clothesline but Angle moved and then locked his arms around his waist, taking him over with back to back german suplexes. He looked like he was going to go for the trifecta but instead, he turned the third one into the Angle Slam, rolling into a cover and pinning Jindrak's shoulders to the mat. Match Time: 9:59 BACKSTAGE...... THE CROWD BOOS WHEN VINCE McMAHON IS SHOWN GETTING A CUP OF WATER. HE TAKES A DRINK BUT NEARLY SPITS IT OUT WHEN TATANKA COMES INTO THE SHOT. Vince: "Good God, is this 1993? Just kidding Tatanka, what can I do for ya"? Tatanka: "Well I heard your announcement about the draft and I just wanted to let you know that I want to challenge one of the draft picks that Rampage gets to a match at Evil Intentions". Vince: "Okay, well I'm sure that's a match that General Manager Foley would be happy to make but what if you're not on Rampage come Evil Intentions? What if you get drafted to one of the other shows? Good thing that Choose Your Destiny is good anywhere huh"? VINCE SLAPS TATANKA ON THE SHOULDER AND WALKS AWAY LAUGHING AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR EDGE SHAVE GEL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, CARLITO's MUSIC HITS STARTING WITH "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS NEW T-SHIRT. A BRIGHT YELLOW ONE THAT SAYS "DO YOU SPIT OR SWALLOW" AND HE HAS A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE TOSSES AN APPLE TO HIMSELF. J.R.: "We welcome you back to Rampage folks as we get set for more in ring action as you see Carlito Cool on his way to the ring and King, it was a few weeks ago when we saw this guy begin to mess with the former World champion High Octane". Lawler: "And then last week, we saw Carlito get involved in a match between High Octane and Tatanka and he left the former World champ laying"! AN ENGINE LOUDLY REVS UP AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" BY DISTURBED STARTS TO PLAY AS HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A WILD CHEER. J.R.: "He sure did but the attack was from behind and that is what has led to this match tonight and the bad thing for Carlito is, he'll have to face Damion West when he's expecting it this time"! Carlito vs. "High Octane" Damion West Carlito could see the fire in West's eyes as he came at him the second the bell rang and he backed up, sticking his head between the ropes to force referee Chad Patton to keep West back. Carlito then tried to sneak up on him with a cheap shot but Octane blocked it and slapped his chest with a knifedge before getting on the middle turnbuckle and ramming his fist into his temple as the crowd counted along. But after 8 right hands, Carlito grabbed Octane and fell backwards, creating a snake eyes effect. Carlito then stomped several times on the back of West's head before pulling him up for a short arm clothesline. Showing a bit of a mean streak, Carlito then used both hands to choke High Octane, using all of Patton's 5 count. Carlito then slowed the pace of the match dramatically with a few rest holds, trying to wear Octane down. But he wouldn't stay down and Octane got back to a vertical base, driving 2 elbows into the midsection of Carlito to break his reverse chin lock. Octane then headed for the ropes and Carlito tried to pull him back but all he got was the bandana off his head. Octane then drilled him with a perfect flying forearm before heading for the corner, readying himself for the "Head on Collision". But just then, fans were stunned to see a mammoth of a man get into the ring and smash Octane from behind with a shot to the back. It was the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry! Patton called for the bell as the assault was on. Match Time: 7:43 J.R.: "What the hell is this"?! Lawler: "That's Mark Henry J.R., we've heard rumors about him coming to the TWF"! WITH CARLITO CALLING OUT SHOTS, HENRY JUST ANNIHILATED WEST. FINALLY, HE PICKED HIM UP AND DROVE HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A FALLING POWERSLAM BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES AND SQUASHING HIM WITH A BIG SPLASH. J.R.: "My God, somebody stop this"! SATISFIED, CARLITO CALLED HENRY OFF BUT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. Lawler: "This is one of the worst beatings I've ever seen here on Rampage J.R., he flattened High Octane"! AS CARLITO's MUSIC PLAYED, HE SMILED AS HE LOOKED BACK WITH A VERY MEAN LOOKING HENRY. IN THE RING, WEST CLUTCHED HIS RIBS AND WAS WRITHING IN PAIN. J.R.: "Well apparently those rumors were true King and the World's Strongest Man has made hos presence felt! Damn him and Carlito"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS SCRAMBLE TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE SEVERAL OF THE REFEREES AND BACKSTAGE AGENTS ARE SHOWN SEPERATING YET ANOTHER FIGHT BETWEEN TRISH AND MELINA. THE TWO WOMEN ARE STILL PULLING EACH OTHER's HAIR AS THEY ARE BEING PULLED APART WHEN MICK FOLEY COMES UP. Mick Foley: "That's enough! I can't take this between you two anymore! I want you both to hit the showers and cool off somewhere because you two are going to have a match and it is going to be at Evil Intentions! (Foley looks at Melina) And the Women's title is going to be on the line"! Tag Team Title Tournament 2nd Round The Horsemen w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. The Bashams Two teams coming off big first round wins met here in a hard hitting match with a spot in the finals on the line. Doug Basham started the match with the man many figured could be the x-factor, Carney. But Doug quickly took his speed away but drilling him with a running boot before pulling him up and dropping him awkwardly across his knee with a shoulder breaker. Danny tagged into the match and continued to put pressure on the shoulder with a reverse armbar. The Bashams were doing exactly what they wanted to, cutting the ring in half and making frequent tags in and out, the mark of a great team. In the next 3 minutes, The Bashams made a total of 6 switches, punishing Carney by keeping the fresh man in the ring. JJ Ramplin, who had yet to see action in the match, screamed for Carney to get back into it. Danny tried to drag Carney back to his corner by his foot but using his free foot, Carney kicked the arm of Danny to get free. Danny made a move towards him but Carney hit a nice jumping enziguri. Both men were down but slowly, they each went towards their corner. Danny made the tag to his brother but Doug could not get to Carney before he made the tag to The Ram. Ramplin came in and picked Doug up, running him into the corner before driving his shoulder into his gut multiple times. Danny tried to come up from behind but Ramplin picked him up and drove him into the mat with a spinebuster. He then turned back and drilled Doug with a clothesline. Carney then slapped the shoulder of Ramplin to tag himself into the match and immediately went to the top rope. Doug was slowly getting to his feet and he saw Carney up there so he pulled Danny out of the way and Carney crashed to the mat with a swanton bomb attempt. Doug then ran across and clotheslined Ramplin over the top rope as Danny pulled Carney up. As Doug ran in, Danny took Carney's feet out with a backsweep at the same time Doug landed a flying leg lariat and he covered Carney for the victory. Match Time: 7:01 Lawler: "He got him! The Bashams have advanced to the finals J.R."! J.R.: "They certainly have and I've gotta admit, I'm a little surprised by this result". STEPHANIE SCREAMED AT REFEREE JOSE MENDEZ FOR ALLOWING THE DOUBLE TEAM AS THE BASHAMS LEFT WITH THEIR ARMS RAISED. Lawler: "Well if memory serves me correctly, Doug and Danny have never held a tag team championship here in the TWF". J.R.: "You would be right on that King but they have advanced to Evil Intentions with a golden oppurtunity to do just that"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR eBay IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR CAPITOL ONE CREDIT CARDS. RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE..... RAMPAGE RETURNS AND THE HART FAMILY THEME IS PLAYING. JIMMY HART AND MAX OGDEN ARE IN THE RING. Max Ogden: "Cut the music"! J.R.: "Jimmy Hart and Max Ogden out to a less than friendly reception here". Jimmy Hart: "People, you just don't get it. Why boo this man? What you are looking at is a man who has pinfall victories over superstars like Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio and Strife! What you are looking at is the 2005 TWF King of the Ring, baby! And now that we have taken care of a little problem we had with Joe Corey, it's time to turn our attention to another problem, Jake Roberts"! THE FANS CHEER Ogden: "Roberts, you decided to come out here a few weeks ago, looking like you just walked out of rehab for the seventy second time, and hit me with your DDT. Well guess what? I........... JUST THEN, OGDEN IS CUT OFF BY THE SOUND OF "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK AND JOE COREY STEPS OUT WITH A LARGE BANDAGE ON HIS FOREHEAD. HE IS LOUDLY CHEERED. Lawler: "What the heck does he want"? J.R.: "It's like I've said many times before King, business just picked up"! Joe Corey: "Excuse me Jimmy Hart, but did I just hear you say that you took care of the Joe Corey problem? This wasn't a problem until you and your boys decided to stick your noses in my business. Max, last week as I laid in this ring after you'd hit me several times with that megaphone, not only could I feel the blood running down my face, but I could hear you ask me a question. Later that night, as the doctor stitched me up, (points to his forehead) I laid there and thought long and hard about your question. Now, I think I have an answer for ya. You asked me if I was glad I didn't join the Hart Family. Well Max, simply put, f*ck yes I'm glad I didn't join you"! Lawler: "He can't say that"! Corey: "Why did you want me to join you Max, so I could guide you through your career like Jimmy Hart should be doing? Or was it so I could turn you into a meaner, nastier guy in the ring? Let's face it Ogden....... you wouldn't be sh*t if it wasn't for me! I brought you here and I can take you out! The only reason you're even in the TWF is because of......... Ogden: "Shut up! That's enough! You're wrong Corey, you're dead wrong! I'm in the TWF because of what I can do in this ring, not because of you"! Corey: "Is that right? Cause the last time I checked, the president of Smoky Mountain Wrestling....... was me! But getting back to me being your problem, that's only just begun. Because before I came out here, I stopped by Mick Foley's office and he's put us in a match at Evil Intentions"! J.R.: "I like the sound of that"! Corey: "So just so......... Lawler: "Look at this"! JUST THEN, COREY IS BLINDSIDED BY SYLVAIN GRENIER AND SNITSKY WHO REALLY PUT A HURTING ON HIM. SNITSKY THEN LOADS COREY UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND DRIVES HIM HEAD FIRST INTO PART OF THE RAMPAGE SET, REOPENING HIS CUT. J.R.: "This is ridiculous! It's four on one here"! SLOWLY, JIMMY HART AND OGDEN CAME WALKING UP THE RAMP LAUGHING AND OGDEN GOT DOWN IN COREY's FACE AND HE WAS BADLY BLEEDING. Ogden: "You sure you want this Corey? I'll see you at Evil Intentions"! OGDEN THEN SLAPPED COREY ACROSS THE FACE BEFORE LEAVING WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP TO A LOT OF HEAT. Lawler: "Now that's sending a message"! J.R.: "This is a damn disgrace"! BACKSTAGE...... TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN IN THE BACK LOADING UP HIS STUFF AND HE FINDS A NOTE SHOVED IN HIS BAG. HE TAKES A LOOK AT IT BEFORE QUICKLY STUFFING IT IN THE POCKET OF HIS JEANS. JUST THEN, SOMEONE COMES UP BEHIND HIM. WAKEMAN TURNS TO SEE VINCE McMAHON WITH A VERY ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE. Vince: "I hope Angle kicks your ass at Evil Intentions. (Vince starts to walk away but comes back) Oh and by the way, don't you ever put your hands on me again". VINCE SLAPS WAKEMAN VERY HARD ACROSS THE FACE. WAKEMAN PAUSES FOR A MOMENT AND LOOKS DOWN BEFORE RETALIATING BY SPITTING RIGHT IN THE FACE OF VINCE! WAKEMAN WALKS AWAY AS VINCE WIPES IT OFF. Vince: "You'll pay for that.... you son of a bitch"! THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS AND STEPHANIE McMAHON LEADS MONEY MIKE AND JASON OLIVER OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Lawler: "You can't be serious J.R.! He just spit in Vince McMahon's face"! J.R.: "I know I've been tempted to do the same before but I think Wakeman just made a career altering mistake"! Lawler: "Vince should fire him"! J.R.: "It's been a wild night so far fans as we get set for our main event and speaking of Main Event, we have just been handed a note that at TWF Main Event, Joe Corey has challenged Max Ogden to a tag team match in which they can find any partner they want"! "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NOW" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND A BIG POP WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Lawler: "Did you see the cut on Corey's forehead? He can't step into the ring that way"! J.R.: "Well he and Ogden are scheduled to go one on one at Evil Intentions which is where this man will defend the King of Cable title against Jason Oliver". Lawler: "And that's what fans have been waiting to see since WrestleMania when they were going at it on top of that ladder, just inches away from the title"! THE CROWD ERUPTS AS "THE TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT. BUT THE ERUPTION IS A MIXTURE OF BOOS AND CHEERS. J.R.: "Shelton got the best of him that night but Oliver has the biggest match of his career to this point at Evil Intentions which is where this man, John Cena, will face Money Mike"! MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN STARING A HOLE THROUGH CENA AS HE APPROACHES THE RING. Lawler: "Can you believe the nerve of John Cena, saying earlier that he doesn't think Money Mike can afford the twenty five thousand dollars he's offered to the Starman"?! J.R.: "Actually I was more stunned by what else Cena said, that he knows the identity of the Starman"! Lawler: "And how could that be? No one knows who it is! Cena is just full of crap, no wonder why most of these fans have turned on him"! Money Mike and Jason Oliver w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. John Cena and Shelton Benjamin The match started with Jason Oliver facing off against Benjamin and the two had a great series in the ring at a frenetic pace. Benjamin was able to take control when he hit him with his dragon whip kick but when hecame off the top rope with a flying clothesline, Oliver moved. Quick as a cat, Oliver got on Benjamin and locked in a rear naked choke, threatening to put him out. But John Cena came into the ring to break it up. This brought Money Mike in and he and Cena traded right hands back and forth. Cena knocked Mike to the ropes and Benjamin charged across the ring, drilling him with a clothesline. Cena then got Oliver up on his shoulders for the "F-U", driving him into the mat. Benjamin fall onto Oliver as referee Jim Korderas counted the 1.........2........, but Stephanie stopped the count by pulling Korderas out of the ring by his leg. Cena grabbed Steph by the hair and began to pull her into the ring when Money Mike jabbed him in the throat with a steel chair. Korderas called for the bell, disqualifying the Horsemen but they didn't seem to care. Match Time: 5:10 J.R.: "Now what the hell was that.... that was a blatant disqualification"! Lawler: "Maybe, but it sure shut John Cena up! Maybe we won't have to hear any more of his claims now, that caught him right in the esophagus"! BENJAMIN KNELT DOWN NEXT TO CENA, TRYING TO HELP HIM UP AS THE HORSEMEN LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH MONEY MIKE HOLDING THE CHAIR UP IN THE AIR. J.R.: "Well both Money Mike and Oliver will see Cena and Benjamin again and you can bet that they won't forget this"! OFF AIR......
