February 9, 2007

AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, ACTUAL FOOTAGE IS SHOWN FROM THE ROYAL RUMBLE OF PRIMETIME's JOHN CENA LAST ELIMINATING LENNY ARMSTEAD TO WIN THE ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH. THE LEADS INTO RAMPAGE's MONTAGE VIDEO WHILE "TO BE LOVED" PLAYS.

THE CROWD IS GOING WILD AS THE SHOT OPENS UP INSIDE THE ARCO ARENA, BLAZING WITH PYRO.

Jim Ross: "The Royal Rumble is behind us and we now set our sights on WrestleMania 8! We are live inside Sacramento's Arco arena and there is electricity in the air, King"!

THE CROWD POPS VERY LOUDLY AS "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN COMES ON AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT CARRYING THE WORLD TITLE WITH MELINA AT HIS SIDE.

Jerry Lawler: "And look at how we're starting the show tonight, with a man who I consider lucky to still be World champion"!

J.R.: "Mark Henry gave Travis Wakeman the kind of beating we've never seen him take but somehow, some way, Wakeman found a way to retain the title"!

MELINA GRABS THE MIC FROM LILIAN GARCIA AND THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO.

Lawler: "These people still don't like the lovely Melina".

Melina: "Ladies and gentlemen, I present your World champion..... Travis Wakeman".

THE CROWD POPS AS WAKEMAN GRABS THE MICROPHONE.

Travis Wakeman: "Thank you, I appreciate it. I gotta tell you guys that while I was in the match with Mark Henry at the Rumble, I didn't see myself standing out here with the World title. My ribs are still sore but I know that as the World champion, I have to represent Rampage and the entire TWF to the fullest so you will not see me take a break of any kind!

THE CROWD CHEERS AT THAT COMMENT.

Now, some of you may know that at the end of January, my TWF contract ran out. Of course I intend to stay with the company, but I have decided a different approach. From now until WrestleMania, I will be working without a contract, allowing me to compete on all three divisions in order for me to face the very best at WrestleMania! I'm all about competition so I don't care if it's a Rampage guy, a PrimeTime guy, somebody from SlaughterHouse or someone not even in the TWF...... I want to fight the best! That is..........

JUST THEN, WAKEMAN IS CUT OFF WHEN "THE TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES TO A MIXTURE OF RESPONSES.

Lawler: "Wait a minute, what the heck is John Cena doing here"?!

J.R.: "The 2007 Royal Rumble winner is on his way to the ring to interrupt our World champion"!

John Cena: "Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a PrimeTime guy, but for a few good years, this was my show! And just two short years ago, I used my win in the Royal Rumble to go all the way to WrestleMania and win that title right there.

CENA POINTS TO THE WORLD TITLE DANGLING FROM WAKEMAN's RIGHT HAND.

So now, I've got the oppurunity to choose which title I want to go after. Will it be the Universal title, the title in SlaughterHouse which some punk that calls himself a king just won? That sounds familiar doesn't it? Or will I come after the Technical Magician himself?

CENA AND WAKEMAN ENGAGE IN AN INTENSE STAREDOWN.

Well I'm not gonna keep these people waiting. Your search can continue T Wake because I have decided that the Universal title is the one I want. So now that..........

JUST THEN, THE ARABIC CHANT LEADS INTO MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT IN A WHITE ROBE AND HEADDRESS.

Lawler: "What now"?!

J.R.: "Appropriate attire for a general manager, wouldn't you agree, King"?

Muhammad Hassan: "Wait a minute! Cena, the last time I checked, this wasn't your show or Wakeman's...... it's mine! But since you've just announced to the world that you'll challenge for the Universal title, I can set my plan in motion! I was very disappointed in Mark Henry not being able to get the job done but Wakeman, that won't happen again. Because as of this moment, I am stepping in myself. I will not allow this show to carry on with a champion that isn't in favor of my reformed Rampage! So I don't care where I have to go or how long it takes, I will have a challenger for you at WrestleMania...... someone who will not fail"!

HASSAN's MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND THE CROWD BOOS AS CENA, WAKEMAN AND MELINA JUST LOOK ON.

J.R.: "What the hell does that mean?! Hassan is going to go out and find someone to challenge Wakeman at WrestleMania"!

Lawler: "It means exactly what he just said, J.R.! Can you imagine the possibilities here"!

J.R.: "My God, it could be anyone"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS SHOWN BEFORE STILL PICTURES ARE SHOWN FROM THE 2007 ROYAL RUMBLE, WHICH WILL HAVE AN ENCORE PRESENTATION ON FEBRUARY 11th AND WILL BE RELEASED ON DVD ON FEBRUARY 27th.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "WANNA KNOW" BY OBIE TRICE HITS AND MAX OGDEN COMES OUT WITH THE LOVELY CANDICE MICHELLE. PSYCHOSIS IS SHOWN STANDING IN THE RING, LOOSENING UP.

J.R.: "We're back live on Rampage and we are ready for our first match of the night but there are still shockwaves going through Arco arena over the announcement we just heard from Muhammad Hassan".

Lawler: "This crowd is buzzing over who Hassan could be getting to challenge Travis Wakeman, it could be one of these two guys"!

J.R.: "Max Ogden set to go one on one with Psychosis here and we know that there are still unresolved issues between Ogden and Money Mike".

Lawler: "Well Ogden better not overlook Psychosis in this one thinking about Money Mike".

Max Ogden w/ Candice Michelle vs. Psychosis

The bell sounded to start the match and as Ogden was using the ropes to help Candice out, Psychosis attacked him from behind, almost causing Candice to fall to the floor. Psychosis peppered Ogden with several hard right hands before hitting the ropes and connecting with a flying heel kick. After a scoop slam, Psychosis went to the top rope and flew off with his legdrop but it was way too early for that as Ogden easily rolled out of the way. Ogden then got up, taking Psychosis down with a cactus clothesline before shooting him to the corner where he followed in with a nasty clothesline right into a running bulldog. Psychosis started to get to one knee, but Ogden ran and kicked him right in the side of the head. After using the ropes to violently choke Psychosis, Ogden placed him up on the top rope before pulling him to the mat with a wicked DDT. With Psychosis seeing stars, Ogden waited for him to get up and once Psychosis stumbled to his feet, Ogden delivered the "Memory Maker" for the convincing win.

Match Time: 4:25

J.R.: "Well ya might say that Psychosis lit a fire inside Ogden with that pre-match attack, I don't know if I've ever seen him look that good"!

Lawler: "Ogden was definitely on his game tonight and he showed a bit of a mean streak too"!

AS "WANNA KNOW" PLAYED AGAIN, CANDICE WENT OVER AND GOT THE HOUSE MIC, HANDING IT THROUGH THE ROPES TO OGDEN.

Max Ogden: "Cut the music! Did you see that Money Mike?! I'm through playing games, I'm through beating around the bush! It's time to find out who the real king is here in the TWF! So I don't care if you want to come to the ring, I don't care if you want to come to my dressing room, I don't even care if you want to go out behind the building...... just quit being a bitch and let's get this overwith"!

THE CROWD CHEERS AS "WANNA KNOW" PLAYS AGAIN AND OGDEN TOSSES THE MIC OUT BEFORE LEAVING WITH CANDICE.

J.R.: "Strong words from Ogden! He's issued the challenge, now we need to get Money Mike's response"!

Lawler: "Well Max Ogden just made things very clear and if Money Mike wants to put his money where his mouth is, this is his chance"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

JASON OLIVER AND LENNY ARMSTEAD ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK AND ARMSTEAD IS ADMIRING OLIVER's NEWLY WON KING OF CABLE TITLE WHEN J.J. RAMPLIN COMES UP.

J.J. Ramplin: "Hey Oliver..... it seems that Storm and I have got you two in a tag team match tonight".

Jason Oliver: "Sure seems that way".

Ramplin: "Well, given our time together in the Horsemen and the fact that you and I were involved in the match of the year last year, don't you think I should probably be in line for a shot at that title"?

Oliver: "Gimme a minute, Lenny.

ARMSTEAD WALKS OFF AS OLIVER TURNS TO FACE RAMPLIN.

No offense, J.J., but you haven't done much to impress me lately. See ya in the ring".

OLIVER WALKS OFF AND RAMPLIN IS CLEARLY NOT IMPRESSED BY THE COMMENT.

Carlito vs. Rex Redford

Rex Redford, still looking for a win to put him on the TWF map, took on the "new and improved" Carlito. After giving another speech about how he's not going to try and make the crowd laugh at him anymore and that his focus is on being what he's destined to be, Carlito turned and caught Redford with a cheap shot. Carlito controlled the match, taking the youngster to the mat and using his forearm, driving it into the bridge of his nose. Carlito then went to the apron but missed with a slingshot elbow drop. Redford got in some offense, catching Carlito with a powerslam to get a 2 count after 3 hard clotheslines. Redford then went for a suplex but Carlito slipped out of it and landed behind him, pulling him down into the backcracker. He made the cover but referee Scott Martin stopped it at 2 and a half when Redford got his foot on the bottom rope. Carlito argued with Martin over this for a minute before trying to embarass Redford with slaps to the back of the head and then a knee right to the face. But seeing his apple sitting in the corner, he got an idea. Carlito grabbed the apple and took a big bite, kneeling down to spit it in Redford's face. But Redford reached up and pulled him down into a small package to get the 3 count! Carlito was incensed as Redford had picked up the biggest win of his short career.

Match Time: 14:14

Lawler: "You've gotta be kidding me, J.R."!

J.R.: "Nope, it was clearly a three count and that's what Carlito gets for trying to spit an apple in his opponent's face during a wrestling match! Looks like the new and improved Carlito will have to come up with a plan B.... again"!

Lawler: "That was a fluke! Redford couldn't do that again"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING UFC PRESIDENT DANA WHITE IS SHOWN.

J.R.: "Folks don't go away because still to come tonight, UFC President Dana White will be here for a major announcement, plus, the animal Batista sqaures off against the manbear Sylvester Terkay"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR FEDEX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TACO BELL.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, HARRY SMITH AND LUYU DAWNSTAR AND TALKING AND SEEM TO BE ENJOYING THEMSELVES UNTIL TATANKA AND JILLIAN HALL COME UP.

Jillian Hall: "Oh look at you two, aren't you guys cute".

Tatanka: "There's not much to laugh about Harry, you and I have a match next week. I'm gonna embarrass you, just like I used to embarrass your dad, when he was around".

SMITH PULLS HIS RIGHT HAND BACK BUT LUYU GRABS IT AND TATANKA JUST LAUGHS.

Jillian: "And I'll see you in the ring later.... Luyu".

TATANKA AND JILLIAN WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch

Coming off nearly winning the tag team titles at the Royal Rumble, Haas and Benjamin had their hands full with Cade and Murdoch. The country western duo employed great tag team strategy against Benjamin, trapping him on their half of the ring and using frequent tags in and out. After a big powerslam from Murdoch, he made the tag to Cade who went to the top rope and came off with a nice elbow drop, right across Benjamin's upper chest and throat area. He made the cover but Haas came in to break it up. All this did was allow Cade and Murdoch to double team Shelton and and after several stomps and clubs to the head, they went for their high-low takedown called the "Sweet & Sour". But Benjamin showed his athleticism, jumping over the backsweep from Murdoch and just drilling Cade with a spin kick to the head. This allowed him to make the hot tag to Haas who came in and took both men down with clotheslines before catching Murdoch with the Exploder suplex. Cade threw a clothesline but missed everything and Haas grabbed him around the waist and faced him towards Benjamin who was in the ring with a stiff superkick, sending Cade into a german suplex from Haas and a 3 count.

Match Time: 5:12

J.R.: "Another huge tag team win for the World's Greatest Tag Team who we know should be the Rampage tag team champions, King"!

Lawler: "We do? Then why do the Bashams still have the titles"?!

J.R.: "That's a conversation I don't want to get into with you tonight but hopefully, Haas and Benjamin can use this win to get a rematch for those titles".

BACKSTAGE..... MUHAMMAD HASSAN's OFFICE.......

MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS SHOWN IN HIS OFFICE WITH HIS FEET UP ON HIS DESK AND CAMERAS INSIDE HAVE PICKED UP A CONVERSATION HE IS HAVING ON A CELL PHONE.

Muhammad Hassan: "Well I've given it some thought, and I know what I'm going to do for WrestleMania. But since that punk John Cena showed up on my show tonight, I'm putting he and Wakeman in a tag team match against my tag team champions..... the Bashams".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE AND SHOWS J.R. AND THE KING AT THE BROADCAST TABLE.

J.R.: "Did you hear that, King?! Hassan has made a huge main event tag team match for later tonight"!

Lawler: "We are going to see Rampage's World champion and the number one contender to the Universal title on the same team.... it's gonna be great"!

JUST THEN, BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON.

J.R.: "Oh boy, what is this"?

Lawler: "It's the first couple of the TWF, J.R., the King and Queen"!

STEPHANIE DEMANDS LILIAN GARCIA's MICROPHONE AND HANDS IT TO MONEY MIKE, WHO TAKES IN THE BOOING WITH A SMILE.

Money Mike: "You people just don't get it do you? I love when you boo me, keep it up! But as I'm sitting in the back enjoying myself with my gorgeous queen, this peasant Max Ogden is out here making demands. First of all, you barely beat Psychosis, so how are you gonna beat me"?

J.R.: "Was he watching the same match we were"?

Money Mike: "Ogden.... I told you two things when this started. First, I gave you the oppurunity to walk away. I gave you the chance to move on so that me kicking your ass wouldn't hurt and probably destroy your career, like I have so many others, that little punk Jason Oliver comes to mind, but I digress. Then, I told you this would happen when and only when I was ready! So keep making your demands, Ogden! I am the king of the TWF, do we really need a match to prove that? I am tired of all the guys going around and calling themself the king after all I have done".

JUST THEN, MIKE LEAVES THE RING AND HEADS TOWARDS THE ANNOUNCE TABLE.

J.R.: "Wait a minute, he's coming over here".

Money Mike: "Like this idiot over here. Get up Lawler!

HESITANTLY, LAWLER RISES FROM HIS CHAIR AND REMOVES HIS HEADSET.

Every single week, you come out in this ridiculous outfit and run your mouth, talking about things you know nothing about and drooling over all the women that come out here, like you can get any! It's guys like you that are starting to really piss me off"!

LAWLER GOES TO SAY SOMETHING BUT MIKE PUNCHES HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE. LAWLER FIRES BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN AND THEN ANOTHER BUT AFTER CATCHING LAWLER WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, MIKE SLAMS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE TABLE BEFORE DELIVERING THE "MONEY PIT" RIGHT ON THE FLOOR.

J.R.: "That's enough! Get the hell away from him for God sake, he didn't want a fight!

OFFICIALS RUSH OUT AND PULL MIKE AND STEPHANIE AWAY BEFORE GETTING DOWN TO CHECK ON LAWLER. MIKE IS VERY PROUD OF WHAT HE's DONE.

Yeah, you should feel real good about yourself Money Mike, you son of a bitch! For God sakes get some paramedics out here"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR BUD LIGHT FEATURING CARLOS MENCIA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD FOR THE WESTMINSTER CLUB DOG SHOW ON FEBRUARY 12TH.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE BROADCAST POSITION IS SHOWN WHERE JIM ROSS HAS BEEN JOINED BY TODD GRISHAM.

J.R.: "We're back on Rampage and if you are just joining us, Money Mike just assaulted my partner Jerry Lawler in one of the most disgusting acts I've ever seen in my many years here in the TWF so it looks like Todd Grisham's gonna be my partner for the remainder of this broadcast".

Todd Grisham: "Well I'm thrilled to be out here, J.R., although under some unfortunate circumstances but I promise I won't drool over the divas".

J.R.: "Well we've got two of them in the ring, ready for action".

Jillian Hall vs. Luyu Dawnstar

This was a very good contest in the women's division as both women got several near falls. Luyu was able to kick out after a backflip into an elbow drop and after being shot to the corner, she caught Jillian with a back elbow before dropping her with a spinning heel kick. From there, Luyu sprung off the middle ring rope into a beautiful moonsault, hooking the leg but Jilian somehow kicked out. Luyu pulled her up and shot her to the ropes but Jillian turned a clothesline into a crucifix takedown, grabbing a handful of her tights which was impossible for referee Jack Doan to spot given his position and that was it.

Match Time: 9:22

J.R.: "She had a handful of tights, c'mon ref"!

Grisham: "It looks like this decision is going to stand, J.R., and you have to consider that a mild upset".

"MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" PLAYED AND JILLIAN LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH HER ARMS RAISED AS LUYU EXPLAINED TO DOAN THAT SHE HAD THE TIGHTS.

J.R.: "It's too bad that such a great match had to end that way and it looks like Luyu Dawnstar's problems with the Million Dollar Corporation are only growing".

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN REY MYSTERIO AND JESSICA LOPEZ AND THEY ARE SPEAKING IN SPANISH, ENJOYING A LAUGH WHEN KEN KENNEDY COMES UP.

Ken Kennedy: "What? Can you two possibly speak english"?

Jessica Lopez: "If this was a conversation we wanted you included in, maybe we would".

Kennedy: "I came to ask little Rey Mysterio here for a match next week, seeing as we've never faced off. But I refuse to ask in Spanish".

Rey Mysterio: "Ah, see Kennedy, I am here saying goodbye to some of the great friends I've met here on Rampage, like Jessica. See, my Rampage contract is up, and SlaughterHouse general manager Jesse Steele has made me a contract I couldn't refuse. But it's all good, I'm sure there's some loud mouth punk over there trying to make a name for himself and when I'm in the ring with him, I'll picture you.

MYSTERIO GRABS A BAG AND GIVES LOPEZ A HUG BEFORE LOOKING AT KENNEDY AND WALKING AWAY.

Kennedy: "Well, no that he's out of the picture........

Lopez: "No, I don't think so".

LOPEZ TURNS AND WALKS AWAY, LEAVING KENNEDY A LITTLE TICKED OFF.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE LILIAN GARCIA IS STANDING WITH A FAMILIAR FACE AND ANOTHER GUY.

Lilian Garcia: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a very special guest this evening, he is the President of the UFC.... Dana White"!

LILIAN HANDS WHITE HER MICROPHONE AND HE IS GIVEN A LOUD OVATION.

Grisham: "Well, J.R., we've heard a lot about the UFC here in the TWF lately and speculation has been running rampant as to what this is all about".

J.R.: "Well it doesn't look like we're gonna have to wait much longer to find out".

Dana White: "Thank you, I appreciate that. I know a lot of you have been wondering what the UFC has to do with the TWF. Well, that's why I'm here. As we've done in the past, we have formed a working relationship with the TWF, but this time, it's going to be a little different. For starters, the Toughman division will be returning.

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS.

Plus, the TWF and the UFC will be co-promoting some events that will feature UFC action with guys like Nick Diaz, who is here with me tonight. But not only that, there may be some occassions down the road that see a star from the UFC facing a star from the TWF"!

J.R.: "Wow, can you imagine that"?!

White: "So as you can see, we've really been working hard to......

JUST THEN, UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND ARMANDO ALEJANDRO ESTRADA COMES OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Grisham: "What is this"?

J.R.: "Well it looks like Armando Alejandro Estrada, the handler if you will of the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga, but what does he have to do with this"?

Armando Alejandro Estrada: "Everybody listen..... to me! My name es Armandoooooooo Alejadrooooooo Estrrrrrrrrrada! Dana White, I have a proposal for you, tough guy. You can leave this ring now before I hand you a serious beating! I am not a fan of the UFC plus, I am a much better businessman that ju! So.........

J.R.: "Oh boy, this is gonna get ugly folks".

NICK DIAZ STEPS UP IN ESTRADA's FACE BUT WHITE PUSHES HIM ASIDE, WANTING TO TAKE ESTRADA ON HIMSELF. JUST THEN, UMAGA COMES FROM OUT OF THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING, CATCHING DIAZ WITH A NASTY SUPERKICK. WHITE SCRAMBLES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AS DIAZ GETS UP AND UMAGA PUTS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE "SAMOAN SPIKE" TO THE THROAT.

Grisham: "There's that Samoan Spike and he's taken out this Nick Diaz with it"!

J.R.: "This was not the business of Umaga and Estrada! What the hell is their problem"?!

AS UMAGA AND ESTRADA LEFT TO THEIR MUSIC AND SOME LOUD BOOS, WHITE GOT INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON DIAZ, WHO WAS HOLDING HIS THROAT AND CHOKING.

Grisham: "Who knows, but that just showed you how dangerous that spike of Umaga's is because as a fan of the UFC, Nick Diaz is no slouch".

CAMERAS GET A SHOT OF AN AREA OFF TO THE CORNER IN THE ARENA WHICH IS COMPLETELY DARK.

J.R.: "Well folks we don't know what is going on over in that area of the arena but it looks a little odd to say the least. Don't go away, we've still got John Cena teaming up with Travis Wakeman to face the Bashams"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NEW MOVIE ABOUT THE ZODIAC KILLER.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "NUMBER OF THE BEAST" BY IRON MAIDEN HITS AND J.J. RAMPLIN COMES OUT ALONG WITH WILLIAM REGAL.

J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and we have tag team action on the way but Todd, can you remember a wilder night than we've seen here"?

Grisham: "I gotta say that I can't, J.R., we've seen Jerry Lawler taken out of here at the hands of Money Mike, which is why I'm sitting out here and we've seen Dana White announce a new partnership with the TWF, only to have Umaga come out and attack one of the fighters he brought with him"!

CANADA's NATIONAL ANTHEM HITS AND ROB STORM COMES OUT FOLLOWED BY ALDO CORLEONE.

J.R.: "Well here comes the former King of Cable along with his Italian muscle, Aldo Corleone who wasn't at ringside to see him lose his title at the Royal Rumble".

"HIGHER" BY THE GAME HITS AND LENNY ARMSTEAD MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A BIG POP.

J.R.: "And he was already eliminated before this man made it all the way to one of the last two in the Royal Rumble, what a performance".

Grisham: "If there's any way he could have thrown John Cena out there at the end, he would've become the most unlikely winner we've ever seen, but he would've been shot straight to the top".

"SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO A BIG REACTION WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "And speaking of shooting to the top, Jason Oliver was able to regain the King of Cable title and you've gotta love the way he did it".

Grisham: "He set out to take the title from Rob Storm and he did just that, but it was the equivalent of a 73-0 score in the Super Bowl. It was just a total domination"!

J.R.: "Well I know he made his homeland in Canada proud with his performance, contrary to what Storm would tell you".

Rob Storm and J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin w/ Aldo Corleone and William Regal vs. Jason Oliver and Lenny Armstead

Jason Oliver started the match off with the man who asked him for a title shot earlier, J.J. Ramplin. From a collar and elbow tie up, Ramplin got in a big knee before shooting Oliver to the ropes but Oliver ducked a clothesline and lifted Ramplin up for an inverted atomic drop. After a belly to belly suplex, Oliver locked in a submission move once known as the Rings of Saturn. Ramplin looked incredibly close to tapping out but Storm came in to make the save. Oliver broke the hold and tagged in Armstead, who went right at Ramplin with his quick feet, kicking him in the ribs and lower body. But after hitting the ropes, Armstead ran into a hard clothesline from The Ram. Ramplin made the tag to Storm, who targeted the lower back of Armstead, locking in a bow and arrow after a side backbreaker. But just like Storm had done earlier, Oliver came into the ring and broke it up with a kick to the head. Both men got to their feet and made simultaneous tags. Oliver was able to beat Ramplin to the punch and after a series of moves that included a tilt-a-whirl slam and a flying forearm, Oliver waited for Ramplin to get to his feet. When he did, he locked in a rear naked choke and Ramplin went down fast. Again, Storm came in to break it up but this time, Armstead had seen enough. He came into the ring and hit Storm with 3 right hands but when he hit the ropes, Aldo lowbridged him and he went sprawling to the floor. Storm then recovered to catch Oliver with a superkick. It was just a glancing blow but it set him right up for the Ram's Horns and Ramplin speared him into the mat to get the 3 count. After the match was over, Aldo picked Armstead up and drove him back first into the steel post 2 times.

Match Time: 7:05

J.R.: "J.J. Ramplin has earned the pinfall for his team here and what a win that is for them".

Grisham: "Well we heard Oliver tell Ramplin he hadn't done anything to impress him earlier tonight, I wonder if that just changed his feelings".

J.R.: "Aldo Corleone has taken care of Lenny Armstead outside the ring as well and that man, Rob Storm's personal hitman, is going to be a force to be reckoned with, folks"!

"NUMBER OF THE BEAST" PLAYED AS THE QUADRANT OF RAMPLIN, STORM, CORLEONE AND REGAL LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS WHILE ARMSTEAD HOBBLED TO HIS FEET, HOLDING HIS BACK BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING TO HELP OLIVER OUT.

THE DARK CALIFORNIA SKY IS SHOWN IN A VIEW OUTSIDE ARCO ARENA.

J.R.: "We are live from Sacramento, California in what has been a huge night here on Rampage and up next, boy do we have a slobberknocker coming up"!

AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE, THE WORD "REVENGE" APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON IN FLAMES.

Grisham: "Now what is that? We saw that on the last edition of Rampage too".

ONCE IT DISAPPEARS, SYLVESTER TERKAY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT LOOKING VERY DETERMINED.

J.R.: "Ya got me, we'll have to get our detectives on that one but here comes the man from Big Bear, California and what a monster he's been since arriving in the TWF, Todd".

Grisham: "Sylvester Terkay has done nothing but impress and you called this a slobberknocker moments ago, J.R., I see this as a main event anywhere in the world".

AFTER A SHORT PAUSE, THE FANS COME OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS WHEN "I WALK ALONE" BY SALIVA HITS AND BATISTA COMES OUT, FOLLOWED BY A HUGE PYRO DISPLAY.

J.R.: "He was there at the end in the Royal Rumble, he just fell a little short but I talked to Batista today and he told me he is ready to go through anyone on Rampage that feels they can beat him and he's picked a mighty big challenge to start"!

Grisham: "You've got six foot six and three hundred ten pounds of Terkay against six foot five, three hundred and fifteen pounds of the animal, Batista"!

Sylvester Terkay vs. Batista

This was a phenonmenal encounter between two of the heaviest hitters the TWF has to offer. Terkay came out in a shoot fighting stance and Batista had a hard time combatting it, trying to swat away his kick attempts but Terkay caught him with a roundhouse to the head that almost put his lights out. Terkay then followed up with several swinging shots to the head and he had Batista down in the corner before driving a knee right into his face. Terkay was forced away by referee Jose Mendez but he went right back after Batista, using his right hand to choke away at him. After using Mendez' count to a 4, Terkay released the choke and pulled Batista to his feet. With quick strikes, he hit Batista in the abs with left and right hands before going for an irish whip but Batista reversed it and blasted him with a clothesline. After smashing Terkay with a clothesline in the corner, Batista went for an irish whip of his own, but Terkay reversed it and locked in a sleeper hold. Batista was a little to strong for it though, dropping to one knee and flinging Terkay over his head. Batista then connected with 2 more clotheslines before getting Terkay up for a military press but Terkay raked his eyes and fell to the mat, landing on his feet. Terkay then threw a kick but Batista blocked it and kicked Terkay in the stomach before pulling him in for the "Batista Bomb". But Terkay sensed it coming and was actually able to pick Batista up over his head, slamming him to the mat. Terkay then lifted Batista up for a Canadian backbreaker but flipped him over, dropping him face first on the mat. But Terkay didn't go for a cover, yelling for Batista to get up. Terkay got behind him, trying to lock in his standing armbar but Batista nailed him in the mouth with a back elbow. Terkay charged him but Batista was waiting for his big spinebuster and from there, he was able to connect on the "Batista Bomb", giving him the very hard fought win.

Match Time: 12:37

J.R.: "He got him! What a war"!

Grisham: "Batista had to reach down for everything he had in order to pull that off and you're right, J.R., what a war"!

"I WALK ALONE" PLAYED AS BATISTA LEFT THE RING HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND WINCING IN PAIN AS HE LOOKED BACK AT TERKAY, WHO WAS JUST GETTING TO HIS FEET.

J.R.: "Still to come, Travis Wakeman and PrimeTime's John Cena will team up to take on the Rampage Tag Team champions, the Bashams"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

COMMERCIALS ARE SHOWN FOR TWF ACTION FIGURES BY ROME PRODUCTIONS AND SNICKERS.

RETURN FROM BREAK......

When Rampage returns, the dark section of the arena that J.R. eluded to is shown. Just then, an unfamiliar song is heard in the arena, and a flashing red light is seen in the dark section. The song is soon recognized to be “Miseria Cantare” by AFI. The red light stays on, and it reveals an entranceway with the ECW logo at the top.

Paul Heyman then leads out “The Show” Joe Corey, who opens up his suit jacket to reveal the ECW World Championship belt around his waist. The two make their way to the ring, and a huge pyro display goes off above the ring. Heyman then grabs a microphone.

Paul Heyman: "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you to the NEW ECW World Heavyweight Champion…”The Show” Joe Corey"!!!

Joe Corey: "It has been a long road. One that started when I was sixteen years old, has spanned three continents, and culminated with three and a half years here in the TWF. All of that has been worth it though, because after all of that hard work, I have this belt to prove to everyone that I am one of the greatest to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. Now that I have gotten that out, on to the question that you are all asking yourselves, where does ECW go from here? And the answer to that is upward and onward. For those of you who think that I am the only one with the belief that there is something to say for the ECW still being a force to be reckoned with here in the TWF. And right now, with Travis Wakeman not being under a contract, that makes me the only world champion here on Rampage. And with that, I am looking forward to going to WrestleMania to defend this title. Be it against Rob Van Dam, John Cena, or anyone else, I am going to New Orleans and I am going to successfully defend this title. But before that, I am going to prove to the world just how strong ECW is going to become, and next week the newest member of ECW is going to revealed to the world, and with the two of us together, no one is going to be able to stop the anarchy that we are going to unleash on the TWF. In the end, you all are going to be chanting ECW…ECW…ECW…

With that, “Miseria Cantare” hits again and Corey and Heyman leave through the ECW entranceway.

Grisham: "Well that was straight to the point and there they go through their own entrance. What is happening here, J.R."?

J.R.: "I think it's clear that Corey and Heyman's plans are starting to take shape and if you ask me, that can't be good for the rest of the TWF".

Grisham: "But did you hear what he said about a new member being revealed next week? There can't be anybody else buying into this, is there"?

BACKSTAGE..... HASSAN's OFFICE......

MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS SHOWN WATCHING ON A MONITOR ALONG WITH MACKENZIE ROSE AND PSYCHOSIS.

Mackenzie Rose: "So what does this mean for us"?

Muhammad Hassan: "I think this is going to play right into our favor..... as long as they stay out of my way".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE BASHAMS' MUSIC PLAYS AND THEY COME OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS WITH THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLES.

Grisham: "Can I do it, J.R."?

J.R.: "Do what"?

Grisham: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for tonight's maiiiiiiiin event"!

J.R.: "And it features two guys who are lucky to be champions, intentionally getting themselves disqualified at the Royal Rumble. You'd think our general manager would do something about that".

"THE TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION, ABOUT THE SAME AS HE GOT EARLIER.

Grisham: "Well here comes John Cena and if you're just tuning in, no this is not TWF PrimeTime, we just have a PrimeTime guy competing on Rampage"!

J.R.: "It's been awhile since that has happened but John Cena did let us know that he intends to challenge for PrimeTime's Universal title at WrestleMania but that leaves our World title match open".

"MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT WITH MELINA TO AN ARENA ROCKING OVATION.

Grisham: "Well we know that Travis Wakeman is going to defend that World title against an opponent selected by Muhammad Hassan, problem is, that could literally be anyone".

J.R.: "It could and it is going to make training that much tougher for Wakeman but with the odds stacked against him is where he's always been at his best".

Non-Title Match

Rampage Tag Team Champions: The Bashams vs. Travis Wakeman and John Cena w/ Melina

Referee Jim Korderas had his hands full here as the semblance of a tag match didn't exist long. After John Cena was able to hit the Throwback and the 5 Knuckle shuffle on Danny Basham, Doug came in from behind with a shot to the back of the head. That forced Wakeman into the ring and he clotheslined Doug over the top rope before combining with Cena for a double suplex on Danny. Wakeman went to the corner and accepted the tag from Cena before coming in and waiting for Danny to get up. But from his knees, Danny got in a quick thumb to the eye and pulled the front of Wakeman's shorts which sent him to the floor. Danny was then able to make it over and tag in Doug who went outside the ring, shoving Melina aside before rolling Wakeman back in. After several hard right hands, Doug connected with a high angle neckbreaker. Doug then positioned himself in the corner and when Wakeman got up, he went for a flying leg lariat but Wakeman was able to block it and just throw Doug to the mat. Wakeman then grabbed the feet of Doug and slapped on the Sharpshooter. He had it hooked in deep and Cena came into the ring to prevent Danny from breaking it up as Doug tapped out.

Match Time: 5:42

J.R.: "Ring the bell, this one is over"!

Grisham: "A successful and very impressive win here for the team of John Cena and Travis Wakeman who will now look on to each being in one of the main event matches at WrestleMania"!

AS "MAKE WAY" PLAYED, WAKEMAN LOOKED AT CENA AND OFFERED HIS HAND. CENA SHOOK IT AND RAISED WAKEMAN's ARM AS MELINA CLAPPED IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE CROWD CHEERED LOUDLY.

J.R.: "WrestleMania eight is going to be huge, and we are officially on the road there"!
