June 9, 2006

AS RAMPAGE TAKES THE AIR ON THE USA NETWORK, THE ORIGINAL THEME SONG FOR EVIL INTENTIONS STARTS UP AS STILL PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT ARE SHOWN. THE FIRST DEPICTS JASON OLIVER AS THE NEW KING OF CABLE SHORTLY AFTER HIS WIN OVER SHELTON BENJAMIN. THE NEXT SHOWS MONEY MIKE BEING PUT DOWN BY THE F-U FOLLOWED BY ONE OF JOHN CENA RAISING HIS ARMS IN VICTORY. THE NEXT SHOT SHOWS VINCE McMAHON DEMANDING THE BELL BE RUNG WHILE KURT ANGLE HAD TRAVIS WAKEMAN IN THE SHARPSHOOTER. A PICTURE THEN POPS UP OF BRET HART COMING OUT TO MAKE THE SAVE, LEADING TO WAKEMAN PINNING ANGLE. THE FINAL PICTURE SHOWS TRAVIS WAKEMAN SHAKING THE HAND OF THE HITMAN, BRINGING EVIL INTENTIONS TO A CLOSE.

THE TOYOTA CENTER THEN COMES INTO VIEW AND THE SECOND IT DOES, "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS AND JOE COREY COMES TO THE RING TO A PRETTY LOUD CHEER.

Jim Ross: "Evil Intentions certainly had it all folks and tonight, we will experience the repercussions of one hell of a pay-per-view event"!

Jerry Lawler: "I just wish Bret Hart was still on the active roster so he could face the consequences for his actions in the main event! How the hell did he even get in the building"?!

STEVEN RICHARDS IS SHOWN IN THE RING.

J.R.: "I'm just glad that he was because he saved the TWF from a certain miscarriage of justice! But speaking of that, what about the loss Joe Corey suffered to Max Ogden who got a huge assist from Jimmy Hart"?

Lawler: "They don't call him the greatest manager of all time for nothin' J.R. and it was the biggest moment of Max Ogden's career"!

J.R.: "I don't think anyone will dispute that, but they would respect it more had he done it himself".

"The Show" Joe Corey vs. Steven Richards

Obviously out to send a message, Corey never let Richards get off the blocks in this one. After the bell sounded, he turned and dove at him with 2 hands, taking him to the mat with a chokehold. Richards struggled free but when he got up, Corey had hit the ropes and took him out with a flying knee to the head. From there, Corey dropped a big knee on the head of Richards. He pulled him up and tried to whip him to the corner but Richards put the breaks on and tried to throw the "Steven Kick". But an alert Corey caught his foot and threw it down before kicking Richards in the midsection and delivering the "Showstopper". Corey rolled Richards over and made the pin as the crowd counted along, 1.......2...........3 and that did it.

Match Time: 2:06

J.R.: "Well you talk about a convincing win, wow"!

Lawler: "Joe Corey just decimated Steven Richards, too bad he couldn't do that to Max Ogden"!

J.R.: "Corey has the microphone".

Joe Corey (partially out of breath): "Max, I know you're in the back probably throwing one of your stupid victory celebrations tonight, but listen to this. You didn't beat me and you know it! You and Jimmy Hart together, the two of you beat me! So right now, I am issuing a challenge for a rematch next week on Rampage"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS

J.R.: "I like the sound of that"!

Lawler: "Don't do it Max, you have nothing to prove".

JUST THEN, MAX OGDEN APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON TO PLENTY OF BOOS. HE HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Max Ogden: "Oh imagine that, Joe Corey, The Show, is put complaining about getting beat. Come on Joe, tell the fans how you made me, how you helped shape my career. Oh that's right, I proved that was all a bunch of bs! And now, you want to face me again? Come on Joe, do you realize what another loss to me would do to you? But if you want a rematch, you know I'm not one to hide behind anything, so you got it"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AGAIN

J.R.: "That'll happen next week"!

Corey: "Good. And go ahead and bring your little manager with you, I want him to be there because this time, I'll have someone to watch my back"!

COREY DROPS THE MIC AS "LYING FROM YOU" PLAYS AND HE JUST STARES AT THE SCREEN AS OGDEN LOOKS AT HIM KIND OF FUNNY, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE MEANT.

Lawler: "Who is Corey referring to? He doesn't have any friends"!

J.R.: "Well he sounds pretty confident to me King and I personally can't wait for that rematch"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR eBay IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR THE 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP OF SOCCER.

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

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, WILLIAM REGAL IS SHOWN POURING HIMSELF A CUP OF COFFEE. HE GOES TO TAKE A DRINK WHEN VINCE McMAHON COMES UP AND SLAPS HIM IN THE BACK, FORCING HIM TO SPIT IT OUT.

Vince McMahon: "Hey there William..... uh, sorry about that".

William Regal: "Mr. McMahon, how are you sir"?

Vince: "Well, I'm fine, I guess. But you see William, I'm hoping you can help me out tonight. You uh, you kind of let me down as the special referee in the Women's title match at Evil Intentions but tonight, you have a chance for redemption when you face Travis Wakeman. So what I want you to do is to take him out, I want you to rip his eyeballs out of his head, I want you to make the son of a bitch plead for mercy! Can you do that for me"?

Regal: "I will not let you down Mr. McMahon. Wakeman will suffer tonight and that's a bloody promise".

REGAL WALKS OFF, LEAVING VINCE WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. BUT VINCE QUICKLY HAS THAT SMILE WIPED OFF HIS FACE WHEN MELINA COMES UP, SAYS NOTHING, AND JUST SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "I STAND ALONE" BY GODSMACK IS PLAYING AND MACKENZIE ROSE IS IN THE RING, GETTING LOOSE.

J.R.: "Vince McMahon apparently still has some issues with our World champion and now he's got William Regal doing his dirty work".

Lawler: "But what about what Melina just did?! She just paintbrushed the boss, she's as bad as Wakeman"!

"SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA COMES ON AND MARK HENRY COMES OUT, FOLLOWED BY CARLITO.

J.R.: "Well Melina is obviously still upset about whatever plan she and Vince had backfiring in their faces at Evil Intentions but speaking of people doing their dirty work for them, here comes Carlito and the world's strongest man"!

Lawler: "Oh yeah, and with the way Mark Henry manhandled the former World champion High Octane at Evil Intentions, I don't think anyone will be messing with Carlito for awhile"!

J.R.: "Well of course not! He starts the fight, Mark Henry finishes it"!

Mackenzie Rose vs. Mark Henry w/ Carlito

Mackenzie Rose didn't back down from Henry, coming right at him with right hands and even knocking Carlito off the apron when he tried to get involved. But he turned into a crunching blow from Henry in which he just clubbed him with both arms. Henry then pulled Rose up and whipped him to the corner, following in with a big avalanche splash. Henry then yelled "Who's the man"? to the crowd which drew a lot of boos. Rose got to one knee though and punched Henry twice in the gut but Henry came back with a knee to the face. This seemed to light a fire inside Rose however and he got off the mat with a forearm to the face of Henry. After 2 more right hands and a kick to the right knee, Rose bounced off the ropes but was erased by a monstrous clothesline. Henry then picked Rose up and dumped him with the "World's Strongest Slam" which got him the win.

Match Time: 5:05

Lawler: "That's it! We might need the world's largest spatula out here now to get Rose off the mat"!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, Carlito's asking for more".

CARLITO TOLD HENRY TO DO SOME MORE DAMAGE AND HENRY DROPPED A HUGE SPLASH ON ROSE. THE FANS BEGAN LOUDLY BOOING AS HENRY WENT TO HIT THE SPLASH AGAIN WHEN CHARLIE HAAS RAN OUT. HAAS GOT IN AND CAUGHT CARLITO WITH A RIGHT HAND. HENRY THEN WENT FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT HAAS DUCKED AND DROPKICKED HENRY, KNOCKING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! HENRY WANTED TO GET BACK IN BUT CARLITO HELD HIM BACK AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED WHILE HAAS HELPED ROSE TO HIS FEET.

Lawler: "What the heck is this?! That's Charlie Haas"!

J.R.: "One of Rampage's recent draft picks, Charlie Haas has come out here to the aid of Mackenzie Rose and rather than wondering what Haas' motives were, let's just be thankful he came out because Rose was in a bad, bad spot"!

HAAS LOOKED ON AS CARLITO AND HENRY LEFT WITH SOME THREATENING WORDS FOR HIM.

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW VINCE McMAHON WITH KURT ANGLE. VINCE IS HOLDING HIS JAW AND TRYING TO SHAKE THE EFFECT's OF MELINA's SLAP.

Kurt Angle: "What is it Vince, what'd ya need"?

Vince: "Well Kurt, I need you to take care of something for me if you can. (Vince opens a door to an office) Step inside please".

ANGLE ENTERS THE OFFICE AND VINCE FOLLOWS BEFORE SHUTTING THE DOOR.

WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS.

J.R.: "Ya gotta wonder what that's all about as we see William Regal make his way to the ring for this non-title matchup and King, even though the World title is not on the line in this match, Regal has been given his marching orders".

Lawler: "Well one thing is for sure, Mr. McMahon is all business tonight"!

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT TO AN AMAZING CHEER FROM THE CROWD. HE HAS THE WORLD TITLE FASTENED AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "Listen to the reaction for the World champion! Despite the odds being completely stacked against him at Evil Intentions, Travis Wakeman came out of that match still the World champion"!

Lawler: "Yeah, thanks to that no good Bret Hart who had supposedly retired"!

J.R.: "He has retired from active competition but unlike you, he wasn't willing to let a champion as great as Wakeman robbed of his title"!

Non-Title Match

William Regal vs. World Champion Travis Wakeman

It was Regal's first match on Rampage in quite some time but he was ready to make the most of it. The fans in Houston witnessed two of the best mat wrestlers of this era get down on the mat, battling for position. Regal had in a front facelock and Wakeman tried to free himself but Regal used his legs to flip Wakeman over him before locking in a keylock. Then, with his free arm, Regal began to drive forearms into the face of Wakeman as the match began to resemble a UFC fight more than anything. Wakeman was able to get Regal's hand and pull himself to his feet before breaking the keylock and catching Regal with a backdrop suplex. Wakeman then locked in a short arm scissors before trying to turn it into a buffalo sleeper hold. But Regal was able to get free and to his feet before nailing Wakeman with a running knee to the side of the head. Wakeman fell to the mat as Regal got on his back, driving the forearms into the back of the head. Regal then locked in a rear naked choke and Wakeman seemed to be fading away. The crowd began to get behind the champ, chanting his name. Wakeman showed a tremendous amount of strength, getting to his feet before driving Regal into the corner. Wakeman tried to charge in but Regal stuck a foot in his face. Regal then ran out of the corner but Wakeman grabbed his arm and took him to the mat before locking in a crossface. Regal was in a lot of pain but he rolled over to counter the move, right into a pin which nearly drew a 3 count. Wakeman tried to get the crossface back on but Regal actually bit his arm. Regal then went for an Oklahoma roll but Wakeman came out of it and used an Oklahoma roll of his own on Regal to get the 1........2........., but that was it. Regal got up and threw a clothesline but Wakeman ducked and delivered a nice sleeper slam. He made another cover but Regal kicked out at 2. Wakeman pulled him up and went for an irish whip but Regal reversed it before drilling Wakeman with a left hand as he came off. Regal then hit his unique neckbreaker known as the "Regal Slam" and he covered him, hooking the leg but Wakeman kicked out at 2 and 7/8. Regal pulled Wakeman up and hooked him up for his double underhook throw but somehow, Wakeman turned it into a version of the hurracanrana and hooked Regal's legs from behind to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 8:37

J.R.: "He got three! What a counter by Wakeman"!

Lawler: "William Regal gave the World champion all he could handle but that was a great counter, I can't believe he pinned him with that"!

REGAL KICKED AT THE RING ROPES IN FRUSTRATION AS WAKEMAN LEFT, HOLDING THE WORLD TITLE UP AS "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AND THE FANS CHEERED.

J.R.: "Travis Wakeman keeps rolling here on Rampage, regardless of what the chairman throws in his way"!

BACKSTAGE..........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL LOOKING AROUND THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

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

AS RAMPAGE COMES BACK LIVE, MUHAMMAD HASSAN COMES OUT TO SOME MAJOR BOOS AS HIS MUSIC PLAYS.

J.R.: "We welcome you back to Rampage and for those of you who ordered Evil Intentions, you saw that the match between this man and the Native American Tatanka didn't necessarily go as planned"!

Lawler: "Well Muhammad Hassan sure made his first appearance on Rampage a memorable one, attacking Tatanka from behind as he came to the ring"!

AS HASSAN GETS TO THE RING, HE RAISES BOTH OF HIS HANDS IN AN UPWARD MOTION AS HIS OPPONENT IS SHOWN, WAITING IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Well if Hassan wanted to change the reputation he's earned for himself on PrimeTime, he's off to a bad start"!

Muhammad Hassan vs. Luc Poirier (invitee)

Hassan climbed into the ring with the fairly experienced Poirier and Hassan was all over him, starting the one sided affair with a big clothesline. He then put the boots to Poirier before using the middle ring rope to choke him. After referee Jose Mendez got him off, Hassan went and taunted the crowd some more. Hassan moved back in but Poirier drove a fist into his midesction twice before getting up, rocking him back with more stiff shots. Poirier then hit the ropes but Hassan was waiting with a knee to the gut. Poirier got up but Hassan grabbed him around the head and pulled him to the mat with his modified STO, rolling him over for the easy 3 count.

Match Time: 2:48

J.R.: "A nasty move there from Hassan and this guy Luc Poirier never stood a chance folks".

Lawler: "Oh look out, there's Tatanka"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPPED AS TATANKA HIT THE RING AND SMASHED HASSAN WITH A TOMAHAWK CHOP WHEN HE TURNED AROUND. TATANKA THEN BEAT THE CHEST OF HASSAN WITH SEVERAL KNIFEDGE CHOPS BEFORE CLOTHESLINING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR, CREATING A LOUD POP.

J.R.: "Well Tatanka hasn't forgotten what happened at Evil Intentions and he came out here with some intentions of his own"!

AS HASSAN RETREATED, TATANKA YELLED ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK WAR CRIES INTO THE AUDIENCE.

Lawler: "Tatanka has sent a message loud and clear tonight to the hated Hassan"!

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

MICK FOLEY IS IN HIS OFFICE WHEN THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND IN WALKS MATT CRUZ, HOLDING A PIECE OF PAPER.

Matt Cruz: "Foley, what's this"?

Mick Foley: "That is an open contract for a match that could get you a shot at the King of Cable title. I had it delivered to you because I've been watching you Matt, and I think you've earned it. Do you have some kind of problem with that"?

CRUZ PUTS THE PAPER DOWN ON FOLEY's DESK, GRABS A PEN OFF THE EAR OF FOLEY AND SIGNS IT.

Cruz: "No problem at all".

Foley: "Great, then as soon as I get another signature on this, we will have a number one contender's match for a shot at the King of Cable title".

THE SPIRIT SQUAD's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD IMMEDIATELY BURSTS INTO BOOS AS MIKEY COMES OUT WITH MITCH.

J.R.: "So it seems that Matt Cruz has signed on for a chance to get a shot at the King of Cable title but right now, it's that time of the night where I wish I had my earplugs"!

Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., you're just upset because these guys are never down, there's never a reason to complain when you're a part of the Spirit Squad"!

J.R.: "Yeah, why don't you go put on one of those stupid green outfits then King"?!

THE OLD HARDY BOYZ' THEME HITS AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS JEFF HARDY MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE ON RAMPAGE IN YEARS.

Lawler: "Oh boy, here he comes... it's Jeff Hardy"!

J.R.: "And this crowd showing their appreciation for arguably one of the most popular superstars in TWF history, Jeff Hardy"!

Lawler: "He came over in the draft lottery from SlaughterHouse but I'll tell ya J.R., here on Rampage, he'll actually have some competition and that starts tonight with Mikey"!

J.R.: "Yeah, I bet the folks over on SlaughterHouse loved that comment King".

Mikey w/ Mitch vs. Jeff Hardy

Trying to take the hyped up crowd out of the match, Mikey jumped on Jeff early, showing off his athletic ability. Off an irish whip, he nailed Jeff with a flying back elbow before hitting the ropes and dropping a big leg on Jeff. Mikey pulled him up and put him in the corner, slapping him across the face before whipping him to the opposite side. Mikey then ran in but Jeff was waiting with a kick to the face before coming off the middle turnbuckle with a corkscrew attack, a move the crowd was very familiar with. Jeff then grabbed both of Mikey's legs for a double legdrop that caught his midsection and crotch area. Mitch got on the apron, trying to get involved but Jeff used a baseball slide on his legs to knock him off. But Mikey waited for Jeff and when he turned around, he was drilled with a clothesline. Mikey then picked Jeff up and dropped him with a nice suplex before calling for something. Just then, the rest of the Spirit Squad ran out with a mini trampoline. Mikey then went outside and got on the tramp, flying into the ring but Jeff was waiting and he kicked him in the gut before turning him around and drilling the reverse Twist of Fate. Jeff covered Mikey and the crowd loudly counted along with all 3 of referee Chad Patton's strikes of the mat.

Match Time: 9:51

J.R.: "Well that plan sure backfired! What a return to Rampage for Jeff Hardy"!

Lawler: "He looked very good tonight J.R., I'll give him that"!

Jeff Hardy: "Matt.... I know you're back there man, ya gotta come out here, this avoiding each other.... it's not cool man".

J.R.: "Jeff asking for his brother to come to the ring".

THE FANS BEGIN TO BOO AS JOHNNY JETER COMES OUT, WITH A MICROPHONE.

Lawler: "Well that's not Matt Hardy, it's his little M'fer"!

Johnny Jeter: "Damn you got a thick skull! Don't you get it Jeff, Matt doesn't want anything to do with you. You don't believe in Mattitude, you don't want to be a Mattitude follower, so he has no use for you. I don't want to have to tell you this again"!

THE CROWD AGAIN BOOS AS JETER LEAVES AND JEFF JUST LOOKS ON, SHAKING HIS HEAD.

J.R.: "This has really gotta be tough for Jeff. His own flesh and blood refusing to talk to him over what..... this stupid Mattitude crap"?!

BACKSTAGE........

CAMERAS SHOW SHAWN MICHAELS STANDING WITH THE LOVELY KRISTAL.

Kristal: "Shawn, at Evil Intentions, we saw you get a big win over Rob Van Dam. Now that you.......

Shawn Michaels: "You're right, I defeated RVD, just like I said I would. Now I know you want your big interview and all that, but to be honest with you, I've got nothing to say. In fact, if you want the big scoop of the night Kristal, here it is. I need some time away, okay. I need some time away from all of this and all of these people and I'm gonna start that time away tonight".

MICHAELS WALKS OFF AS THE CAMERA FOLLOWS WHEN HIGH OCTANE COMES UP FROM BEHIND AND SPINS MICHAELS AROUND.

High Octane: "Hey man, what the hell are you doing"?

High Octane: "Fine Shawn, you walk out of here. But listen to this and you listen good. I don't want to see you around here again until you are yourself again. The Shawn Michaels that everyone loved, the Shawn Michaels that everyone wanted to be around. The guy that all these young up and comers looked up to and idolized, ya know, like I once did! Until then..... just stay away man".

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

Finlay vs. Paul Birchill

After swinging from the stage in his pirate regalia, Birchill came into the ring and began tossing pearls into the crowd. But Finlay wasn't having any of it, attacking Birchill from behind with a shot to the back of the head. After a backdrop suplex, Finlay hit the ropes, jumped up and sat right on the chest of Birchill. Finlay pulled him up by his long locks and whipped him to the ropes but when he dropped his head too soon, Birchill kicked him in the chest before blasting him with a clothesline. From there, Birchill showed some of his true ability, using a standing shooting star press to get a near fall. Birchill got up and bounced off the ropes but Finlay got a knee into his gut before clotheslining him in the back of the head. From there, Finlay lifted Birchill, who claims to be a distant relative of the great Blackbeard, onto his shoulders and drove him into the mat with a fireman's carry slam. Finlay made the cover as referee Scott Martin pounded the mat for the 1.........2..........., but Birchill was up. Finlay got up, pulling Birchill with him and he lifted him to the top turnbuckle before climbing up along with him. Finlay was looking for a superplex but Birchill used two sharp forearms to knock him to the mat before flying off with an incredible sunset flip which Finlay wasn't ready for and that got him the win.

Match Time: 6:00

BACKSTAGE.......

The shot goes to the back where Jason Oliver is shown standing with Kristal. He's wearing a pair of black jeans, a red shirt that has the words "Big Time" in black letters on the front and "Submission Machine" on the back, also in black letters. He's wearing black shades and he has the King of Cable title draped over his shoulder.

Kristal: "Well I'm here with the new King of Cable champion and Jason, I would like to get your thoughts on winning that title".

Jason Oliver: "You want my thoughts, well for one, I have writers cramp from signing so many damn autographs, now that’s tiring, but it's all part of the paid, made and laid treatment, isn’t that right doll face"?

Kristal: "You never really answered my question".

Oliver: "Well it was a stupid question, I mean I just won the King of Cable championship how the hell do you think I feel? I feel pretty damn good about myself that’s how. Most people couldn’t even comprehend winning the King of Cable title, it is the title that represents the fans, the title that represents the ratings and that’s why Jason Oliver will have the ratings sky rocketing! But as for my feelings I am ecstatic, I have a new car and a new house. You know how I got all those? My big fat pay check, so yes I am very happy with winning the title and this (Oliver pats the belt) isn’t going anywhere for a long time so now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find Mike and warm up for our match".

OLIVER TURNS TO LEAVE BUT MONEY MIKE IS STANDING THERE WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON.

Money Mike: "Did you uh, did you talk to Stacy"?

Oliver: "Look Mike, I know you said you wanted a public apology, and I tried, but Stacy's just not willing to come out and do it".

MIKE STARTS TO TALK BUT STEPHANIE CUTS HIM OFF.

Stephanie: "Oh yeah? Well maybe she'll get this message. (Steph rips the microphone out of Kristal's hands) Stacy Snow, next week on Rampage, I want you in the ring, one on one! You don't want to apologize, that's fine, I'd much rather kick your ass...... bitch"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL" IS PLAYING AND TRISH STRATUS IS SHOWN COMING TO THE RING TO A BIG CHEER WITH HER NEWLY WON WOMEN's CHAMPIONSHIP AROUND HER WAIST. IN THE RING IS A HUGE VERSION OF THE LATEST EDITION OF THE TWF MAGAZINE WITH TRISH ON THE COVER.

J.R.: "So Stephanie McMahon has issued a challenge for a match next week on Rampage and now we've got our brand new Women's champion, Trish Stratus out here"!

Lawler: "And according to my notes, she is out here to go over the pictorial she shot for this issue of the TWF magazine, I can't wait"!

J.R.: "Don't get too excited King, this is the TWF magazine, not Playboy but folks, this will be the pictorial that if you'll recall, Melina rudely interrupted, attacking Trish in the studio".

Trish Stratus: "First off, I wanted to say thank you guys for that reaction, wow.

THE FANS CHEER AGAIN

Now, I know you guys are ready to check this out right, so let's see what we got".

TRISH POINTS UP TO THE TWF TRON WHICH STARTS SHOWING SOME VERY SEXY PHOTOS OF TRISH.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh J.R., look at that one, my heart rate is going up like Jason Oliver said the ratings will"!

AFTER THE 5TH PICTURE IS SHOWN, MELINA's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT WITH A VERY BITTER LOOK ON HER FACE.

J.R.: "What the hell is this?! I don't see Melina in any of these shots"!

Lawler: "I don't think she's out here to look at pictures J.R."!

TRISH DROPS HER TITLE AS MELINA SLIDES INTO THE RING AND THROWS A CLOTHESLINE BUT TRISH COUNTERS WITH HER MATRIX MOVE BEFORE DRILLING HER WITH THE CHICK KICK. BUT JUST THEN, KURT ANGLE COMES OUT AND GRABS ONE OF MELINA's LEGS.

J.R.: "What the hell is Kurt Angle doing"?!

Lawler: "You don't think he's gonna........

ANGLE IS ALL READY TO PUT MELINA IN THE ANKLE LOCK WHEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN RUNS OUT TO MAKE THE SAVE. ANGLE LET's GO OF MELINA's FOOT BUT WAKEMAN SMASHES HIM WITH BACK TO BACK RIGHT HANDS BEFORE DRILLING HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES HIM OUT OF THE RING. THE FANS GO WILD AS ANGLE RETREATS. MELINA SEEMS TO BE HURT AND TRISH DOES NOT SEEM HAPPY WITH WAKEMAN COMING OUT TO HELP HER.

J.R.: "Thank God for Wakeman, who knows what Angle had in mind"!

Lawler: "Well this is obviously what Vince McMahon talked to Angle about earlier tonight but there is one person that doesn't seem happy that Wakeman just did what he did and that's his wife"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK..........

A COMMERCIAL FOR POKERSTARS.NET IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE BRAND NEW SUPERMAN MOVIE.

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

RAMPAGE RETURNS AND THE HORSEMEN THEME HITS. MONEY MIKE AND JASON OLIVER STEP OUT ALONG WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON. OLIVER IS HOLDING UP THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AS THE TRIO IS SHOWERED WITH MOSTLY BOOS.

J.R.: "Back on Rampage and it is time for our tag team main event".

Lawler: "This crowd is still talkin' about what we just saw but I know one thing for sure, the World champ is sleepin' on the couch tonight"!

J.R.: "Well it looks like Money Mike has something to say here, boy is that a surprise".

Money Mike: "Before we get to this match in which Jason and I are going to embarrass Shelton Benjamin and that Marky Mark reject, I want to address one man........ Starman. Now I haven't heard from you in awhile, so either you got a life, or my offer just wasn't enough. Now if you thought that was all the money I had, you're mistaken because tonight, I am officially raising my offer to you to one hundred thousand dollars in cold hard cash. Now not only do you get that, but you also become the fifth Horsemen. I know you're out there and I know you're listening so I hope to have an answer and soon because if not, I'll come looking for you".

MIKE THROWS THE MIC AT RING ANNOUNCER LILIAN GARCIA WHICH DRAWS A LOT OF HEAT BEFORE "AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME" IS HEARD AND SHELTON BENJAMIN COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER.

Lawler: "I'll take a hundred thousand dollars to become the fifth Horsemen"!

J.R.: "That's a lot of money folks and Money Mike is not kidding, this has eaten at him for awhile now and here comes Shelton Benjamin, the former four time King of Cable who didn't give the title up too easily to Oliver in what was a tremendous match"!

Lawler: "Well I'm sure Benjamin is out here with his mind on evening the score with Oliver but I can promise you that Money Mike wants the same thing with John Cena"!

"THE TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA STORMS OUT WEARING HIS "HUSTLE, LOYALTY, RESPECT" T-SHIRT AND HE IS WELCOMED BY A VERY LOUD MIXTURE OF BOOS AND CHEERS.

J.R.: "And it was at Evil Intentions that John Cena delivered the F-U to defeat Money Mike, something very few have been able to do here in the TWF"!

Lawler: "But let's be honest here J.R., yes Cena did win the match, but look at the circumstances, Money Mike was not himself and I don't think he's been himself for some time now"!

J.R.: "That may be true but I don't think that's the fault of Cena but there goes the bell and here we go"!

The Horsmen: Money Mike and Jason Oliver w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. John Cena and Shelton Benjamin

The match started with all 4 men going at it. Cena and Oliver paired off, trading shots as Mike and Shelton battled in the corner. Finally, Mike got a knee into the gut of Shelton and tossed him through the ropes and to the floor before helping Oliver with a chop block on Cena. Oliver then went to work on Cena's left leg as referee Jim Korderas ordered Mike to his corner. For a good chunk of the match, Oliver and Money Mike used classic tag team strategy to wear Cena down, cutting off half of the ring and making frequent exchanges. After a shinbreaker from Mike, he tagged in Oliver who came in and did the trademark Ric Flair "Woooooo", getting the crowd to do it back before trying to lock in the figure four on Cena. But as he spun around, Cena used his foot to push Oliver forward. Oliver then walked into a huge clothesline from Cena and both men were down. Cena crawled across the ring and made the tag to Benjamin as Oliver got out as well. Benjamin came into the ring, beating Mike to the punch and drilling him with 3 big right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a backbody drop. Oliver came into the ring but Benjamin threw a kick which he caught and he turned it into the dragon whip. Benjamin then went to the top rope and came off with his flying clothesline but Mike moved out of the way. He then pulled Benjamin up and whipped him to the ropes but Benjamin dove over Mike, showing incredible athleticism and slapped the hand of Cena. Mike was unaware of the tag as he had partially caught Benjamin and he dumped him over the top rope. But after running through Oliver with a clothesline, Cena delivered his spinning sideslam on Money Mike before reaching down and pumping up his old pair of Reebok shoes. Most of the fans were cheering as Cena hoisted Mike up onto his shoulders and delivered the "F-U", falling into the cover for the 1..........2..........3.

Match Time: 12:25

Lawler: "Oh no"!

J.R.: "He did it at Evil Intentions and he's done it again! John Cena has pinned Money Mike again"!

Lawler: "Now you can't sit there and tell me something's not wrong with the leader of the Horsemen J.R........, when was the last time he lost two in a row"!

"THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED AS CENA AND SHELTON CELEBRATED THE WIN AND THE HORSEMEN RETREATED, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS.

J.R.: "I don't know if he ever has and even though I'm not a fan of the Horsemen...... Money Mike better correct it or it might spell doom for the whole group"!
