July 18, 2007
Rampage made the venture to Louisville for the first time in more than a year, and fans waiting to cast their votes for Anarchy Rulz were ready to storm the Gaylord Center for all the action! Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made w/ Kelly vs. Gun Jack and Endeavor (invitees) Fans of the old GSE will remember Gun Jack and Endeavor as the Headhunters and as they prepare for their battle with Money Mike at Anarchy Rulz, Pyromania and Taylor had the perfect opponents. Pyro and Taylor looked awesome as a team, combining their abilities to take the monstrous Gun Jack out of the ring. Taylor then caught Endeavor with a superkick which led to "Pyrotechnics" from Pyromania, and it was all over. The Hollywood Blondes vs. Austin Aimes and Carl James of SMW Officials were very keen to get a look at Austin Aimes and Carl James, currently the SMW Tag Team champions, who have done nothing but impress to date. But they were in there with ECW's Hollywood Blondes, and Mercury and Nitro were not about to allow them any success at their expense. After Aimes crashed and burned going for a crossbody outside the ring, the Blondes double teamed the Jamaican James before putting him away with the "Snapshot", handing the team their first loss together. William Regal vs. Carlito The main event of Uprising was a very competitive one, as two southpaws slugged it out. But the rough and tough Regal got the better of the fist fight before using a double underhook suplex to just throw Carlito across the ring. Regal was looking impressive, but one mistake cost him. After shooting Carlito to the corner, Regal ran in with a running knee but missed badly, allowing the "Bad Apple" to hit the Backcracker and it was all over. CARLITO LEFT TO HIS MUSIC AND A LOT OF HEAT, KNOWING HE HAD JUST GOTTEN A HUGE WIN. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
"TO BE LOVED" BY PAPA ROACH BEGINS TO PLAY AND THE OPENING MONTAGE RUNS, ILLUSTRATING ALL THE STARS OF RAMPAGE. THE GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CENTER IS THEN PUT ON DISPLAY AS PYRO BOMBARDS THE SET, ILLUMINATING THE DEAFENING ARENA. FANS ARE CHEERING AND HOLDING UP THEIR SIGNS AS THE PYRO AND FIREWORKS DISPLAY CONCLUDES. Jim Ross: "Good evening once again wrestling fans! We have hit the bluegrass state and things are heating up as we head to Anarchy Rulz"! Jerry Lawler: "These fans are chomping at the bit to get their votes in for Anarchy Rulz, J.R., and the choices are gonna be aplenty"! A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN FOR TONIGHT, WITH JASON OLIVER ON ONE SIDE AND MARK HENRY ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "Only once a year do our fans have all the power and tonight, they will see more to persaude them one way or another, but they've gotta be ready for this..... Jason Oliver taking on the king of the jungle, Mark Henry"! Lawler: "Matt Cruz and Nemesis have already tried and failed.... tonight it's Jason Oliver's turn to try to tame the beast"! THE CROWD GOES WILD AS "TNT" BY AC/DC HITS AND CHRIS TIRPAK IS SPOTTED IN THE CROWD WHO IS CHEERING AND THROWING THEIR ARMS UP AROUND HIM. J.R.: "And what a way to start with none other than the man who has resurfaced on Rampage as a cane swinging freak"! Lawler: "Listen to this crowd, they actually like this guy"?! THE WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. THEY ARE WEARING MATCHING BLUE AND WHITE OUTFITS AND THEY HAVE THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND THEIR WAISTS. J.R.: "TWF fans have become big supporters of Tirpak and his new style, but they are also very much behind this team"! Lawler: "This is quite the interesting team, J.R., Tirpak and the Rampage tag team champs"! THE MUSIC OF LANCE CADE AND TREVOR MURDOCH HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO LOUD BOOS. MURDOCH HAS A HUGE PIECE OF CHEW IN HIS MOUTH. J.R.: "Cade and Murdoch would love to get themselves a tag team title oppurtunity, and coupled with Murdoch's win over Charlie Haas last week on Uprising, a win here could get them just that"! Lawler: "I just can't believe that in the heart of Kentucky, these fans would boo these two and cheer for someone like Chris Tirpak"! J.R.: "Well our fans have always been very opinionated, King, and they're entitled to be that way. It's one of the things that makes the TWF so great". AN INDIAN WARCHANT IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO TATANKA's NEW THEME MUSIC. HE COMES OUT WITH HIS NEW LOOK, BLACK AND WHITE FACEPAINT. Lawler: "Look at this team, J.R., it's cowboys and an Indian.... only in the TWF"! J.R.: "Tatanka seems to have changed his ways once again, introducing us to a new side last week, but that was all shook up by one, Chris Tirpak"! Lawler: "Well if we know Tatanka, and I think we do by now, he took that as a slap in the face of he and his entire Native American heritage! Tirpak opened a serious can of worms, if you ask me"! 6 Man Tag Chris Tirpak and World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Tatanka, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch Chris Tirpak started the match off and Tatanka got in with him. The two met in the center of the ring, locking up. But Tatanka quickly raked his eyes and then smacked the chest of Tirpak with 2 hard knifedge chops, but when Tirpak just laughed them off, Tatanka made the tag to Lance Cade. Cade came in and threw a right hand, but Tirpak avoided it and whipped him to the ropes for a big backdrop. Tirpak went for an elbow and missed when Cade rolled out of the way. Murdoch tagged into the match and after some hard right hands, he shot Tirpak to the corner but ran right into a foot to the face as he charged in. Tirpak then rocked Murdoch with a clothesline before tagging in Charlie Haas. Looking to avenge last week's defeat, Haas went for a quick Oklahoma roll, but Murdoch was out at 2. Haas pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but Murdoch came off with a big clothesline. Tatanka tagged back into the match but before going after Haas, he ran over and belted Shelton Benjamin with a cheap shot. After a series of knifedge chops, Tatanka tried to get Haas up for the Trail's End, but Haas countered with a crucifix pin and got a very near fall. Both men got to their feet and Haas hip tossed Tatanka into his corner. Tags were made on both sides as Murdoch and Benjamin came in. Murdoch and Benjamin locked up and Benjamin dropped to one knee before going into a standing waistlock. Murdoch blasted him with a back elbow, but after running the ropes, Shelton hit a spinning heel kick right on the money. He went for a cover, but Cade came in to break up the fall. That brought the rest of the competitors into the ring, and the fight was on. It was really breaking down but Murdoch went for a running bulldog on Benjamin, only to be tossed across the ring when the former Minnesota Golden Gopher countered it. Benjamin then reached Tirpak and tagged him in. Tirpak got Murdoch up onto his shoulders and hit the "Lights Out" to a huge cheer. Tirpak covered Murdoch, hooking both legs as Haas and Benjamin held off Cade and Tatanka and referee Chad Patton pounded the mat 3 times before calling for the bell. Match Time: 5:52 J.R.: "Oh what a move! That Lights Out is just devastating, and King, it did just that to Trevor Murdoch"! Lawler: "That may've quelled any thoughts Tatanka had about a fight with this guy...... Tirpak has found a groove"! "TNT" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AGAIN AND TIRPAK HIGH FIVED HAAS AND BENJAMIN AS CADE, MURDOCH AND TATANKA RETREATED. J.R.: "Tatanka has never been one to back down from a fight, King, but he better be ready for a slobberknocker if he gets in there with Tirpak"! COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR VITAMIN WATER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR ANARCHY RULZ, FEATURING AUSTIN PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE VS. MONEY MIKE AND A FORMER GSE SUPERSTAR OF THE FANS' CHOOSING. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, CAMERAS SHOW TAZ COME UP TO MONEY MIKE, WHO LOOKS SURPRISED TO SEE HIM. Taz: "I noticed I'm on the poll for Anarchy Rulz..... after all the history you and I have, do you really want me as your tag team partner"? Money Mike: "Taz..... this isn't about me, and this isn't about you. Let's show all these stupid TWF fans what the GSE once meant. Let's show these punks Taylor Made and Austin Pyromania just how sick, just how demented, the GSE once was. To answer your question, yes, I'd take you as my tag team partner". TAZ GIVES MIKE A LONG STARE BEFORE WALKING OFF. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, WHERE ASHLEY K. IS MAKING HER WAY OUT TO HER MUSIC, HOLDING THE WOMEN's TITLE. J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and getting ready for some diva action, but what do you make of what we just heard from Money Mike and Taz, King"? Lawler: "Forget about that, J.R., scoot over, the Women's champion wants to sit next to me"! ASHLEY GRABS A HEADSET AND SITS DOWN NEXT TO LAWLER AS JILLIAN HALL's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS. J.R.: "Welcome to the broadcast, Ashley, how are ya tonight"? Lawler: "Don't ask her questions like that, J.R., what are you doing after the show, Ashley"? J.R.: "You'll have to excuse Uncle Jerry, he gets a little excited sometimes". Ashley K.: "No problem at all, in fact, I plan on seeing what the night life here in Louisville is like, you can join me if you like". Lawler: "Woohooo"! THE FANS POP AS MICKIE JAMES' MUSIC HITS AND SHE MAKES HER WAY OUT TO THE RING. J.R.: "Well, Ashley, we are certainly looking at two of the top contenders for your Women's title. We all know of the history between you and Mickie James, but Jillian was able to defeat you last week". Ashley: "Yeah, you're right, J.R., she did beat me, but it was the biggest fluke the TWF has seen this year. And as for Mickie, well I pretty much own Mickie". J.R.: "Referee Jack Doan set to call the action here in what is a big match for both of these lovely ladies". Jillian Hall vs. Mickie James Both of these ladies showed off their superb technical skills, trading holds on the mat. With Mickie in a standing waistlock, Jillian tried to take her over, but Mickie caught her with a back elbow followed by a spin kick to the abdomen. After running the ropes, Mickie hit a perfect hurracanrana into a cover for the 1.......2......, but Jillian was up. After yanking Jillian up by the hair, Mickie whipped her to the corner and charged in, but Jillian got a foot up in her face before flying out with a clothesline. With 2 handfuls of hair, Jillian rammed the back of Mickie's head into the mat repeatedly before Doan came in to force a break. Jillian pulled Mickie up and delivered a swinging neckbreaker, making a cover, but Mickie was up at 2. Jillian pulled Mickie up and tried to set up a bulldog, but Mickie lifted her up and dropped her with a nice backdrop suplex. Mickie then pulled Jillian up and whipped her to the ropes, connecting with a great dropkick. Jillian fell to the mat, holding her nose as Mickie went to the apron and climbed the turnbuckle, something we're not using to seeing out of her. Mickie flew off, but Jillian recovered in time to take a page of out of Mickie's book, knocking her right out of the air with a kick to the head. Mickie fell to the mat and appeared to be unconcious as Jillian made the cover, hooking the leg for the 3 count. Match Time: 4:06 Lawler: "She got her"! J.R.: "An impressive kick to the head there by Jillian, and she is really on a roll"! Ashley: "She might have a couple wins, but she still doesn't have this"! ASHLEY RISES FROM HER CHAIR, HOLDING UP THE WOMEN's TITLE AS JILLIAN MOTIONS FOR IT TO BE AROUND HER WAIST WHILE HER MUSIC PLAYS. J.R.: "Well like it or not, Ashley, she now has a serious case to be number one contender for that title". Lawler: "Please, J.R., try not to upset her, she invited me to go out with her tonight"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... ROB STORM AND ALDO CORLEONE ARE TALKING IN THE BACK WHEN MICK FOLEY COMES UP, WEARING HIS SIGNATURE RED FLANNEL SHIRT. Rob Storm: "Oh, not this again". Mick Foley: "Hey guys....... Aldo Corelone: "Foley, what do you keep showing up for? We already beat your ass once, we'll be happy to do it again". Foley: "No, you seem to be confusing me with my dear friend Dude Love, who is still upset about that by the way". Storm: "Don't try to threaten us, Mick, you said Cactus Jack would do something to us a few weeks ago. We waited, and we never saw him". Foley: "That's because Cactus still has the desire to be World champion, just one more time. His focus that night was on the battle royale, not on you two". Storm: "Okay, well here's what we'll do. Tonight, Aldo and I will go to that ring and we'll call you..... I mean Cactus Jack out. We'll see if he can make the time for us tonight". Foley: "Sounds like a plan, I'll tell him to get ready". FOLEY WALKS OFF AS STORM AND CORLEONE JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS. "PICTURES" BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN HITS AND THEY COME OUT ALONG WITH CANDICE TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. ALEX SHELLEY, AS USUAL, IS CARRYING HIS TRIPOD AND CAMCORDER WHILE MAX OGDEN IS SPORTING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOOK. J.R.: "Here comes the brash young tag team known as Eye Spy and a little bit of a different look for them tonight, King". Lawler: "Well we're being told that Max Ogden has dropped the A from his name and now just wants to be known as M.X. Ogden". J.R.: "Well whatever works, but no matter what their names are or what kind of outfits they're wearing, they have to find a way to solve the Boogeyman"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE BOOGEYMAN's MUSIC HITS. HIS HECKLING LAUGH CAN BE HEARD OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS HIS VOICE SPEAKS "I'M THE BOOGEYMAN..... AND I'M COMIN' TO GETCHA"! FINALLY, THE BOOGEYMAN COMES CRAWLING THROUGH THE BILLOWING RED SMOKE IN THE ENTRANCE. HE GETS UP, AND SMASHES HIS BIG CLOCK OVER HIS HEAD BEFORE GOING INTO HIS WEIRD BODY MOVEMENTS AS HE HEADS TO THE RING. Lawler: "Look at this, J.R., it's like a damn sideshow"! J.R.: "This is easily the strangest superstar we've ever seen in the TWF, but he's been next to unbeatable, King". Lawler: "Well I predict that changes tonight! Eye Spy has dealt with losses to this guy in singles matches, they've dealt with his worms, they are going to change things up tonight"! J.R.: "Alex Shelley and Ogden will have to tag in in this one, they will not be allowed to be in the ring at the same time". Handicap Match Eye Spy w/ Candice Michelle vs. The Boogeyman Shelley and Ogden seemed to be bickering with each other about who would start the match. Finally, the Boogeyman came over and smacked their heads together. Shelley fell off the apron and to the floor as Boogeyman took it to Ogden. After throwing Ogden into the corner, Boogeyman moved in with 2 kicks to the body and a right hand to the head. Ogden seemed overwhelmed as Boogeyman grabbed him with both hands around the throat and lifted him up, but Shelley came in and took Boogeyman down with a chop block. Both Ogden and Shelley then put the boots to the Boogeyman before referee Scott Martin sent Shelley back to his corner. Ogden ran the ropes and nailed Boogeyman with a basement dropkick before tagging in Shelley. But as soon as Shelley came into the ring, Boogeyman got right up, worms hanging out of his mouth. Shelley tried to run out of the ring, but Boogeyman grabbed him by the back of the tights and flung him into the corner. After a double thrust to the throat, Boogeyman grabbed Shelley, but Ogden poked him in the eye. Ogden then tagged back in and came off the top rope with a missile dropkick to the back of the head. Boogeyman fell to the mat and Ogden rolled him over, covering him, but Boogeyman pushed him off after a 1 count. Ogden tried to pull Boogeyman up but Boogey reversed an irish whip and went for a clothesline but Ogden ducked and Shelley lowbridged the top rope, sending Boogeyman sprawling to the floor. Ogden then came over the top rope with an impressive suicide dive, right onto Boogeyman. Both men were down, but Shelley and Candice came over to help Ogden up. Referee Scott Martin's count was up to 5, 6, 7, before Ogden got up and rolled back into the ring. Ogden then pulled Martin's back to the outside and Shelley grabbed the tripod, smacking Boogeyman in the back of the head with it. Martin's count went uninterrupted and he counted Boogeyman out, giving Eye Spy the match! Match Time: 5:01 Lawler: "They did it..... Boogeyman has been counted out"! J.R.: "It took two men and a tripod.... but Eye Spy has finally defeated The Boogeyman"! "PICTURES" PLAYED AGAIN AS EYE SPY AND CANDICE LEFT AND THE BOOGEYMAN LOOKED BACK, SMILING. Lawler: "Well The Boogeyman is smiling, but if you ask me, he has nothing to be happy about"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR VERIZON WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR TRAVELER's INSURANCE. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TWF AGENT BARRY DARSOW IS WITH MUHAMMAD HASSAN. Muhammad Hassan: "What, what is it now"? Barry Darsow: "Look, I know you have a busy night and a lot of things going on, but Jason Oliver just called in and said he is having major travel problems". Hassan: "So"? Darsow: "So, he will not be here tonight. Meaning his match with Mark Henry is off". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE MAJOR BROTHERS ARE INSIDE AND THEIR MUSIC IS PLAYING. Lawler: "Well that's it, J.R., Jason Oliver will not be facing Mark Henry here tonight"! "FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN HITS AND CHRIS PLATOON COMES OUT TO SOME NASTY BOOS. J.R.: "It seems that Jason Oliver has ran into some sort of travel issues, but here comes Chris Platoon, who attacked the Majors for no apparent reason last week". Lawler: "No apparent reason? J.R., these two punks were making wisecracks towards Platoon"! J.R.: "Tonight it will be one half of this young team, Brian Major, taking on Chris Platoon, who has shown a real attitude problem since being traded over from PrimeTime". Chris Platoon vs. Brian Major w/ Brett Major As soon as the bell rang, the very talented Brian Major showed the explosiveness that he and his brother possess. After rocking Platoon with a flurry of punches, Brian nailed a big dropkick before shooting him to the ropes for a flying wheel kick. Brian made a cover, but Platoon kicked out at 2. Brian shot him to the ropes again, but missed badly with another dropkick attempt. Rather than follow up on that though, Platoon turned and spit in the direction of Brett Major! Platoon turned back around, but Brian was waiting with a small package and nearly stole the match. After shooting Platoon to the corner, Brian followed in with a huge body splash, but he slammed hard into the turnbuckle when Platoon moved. Platoon then slammed him into the mat with a huge spinebuster before using the base of his knee, driving it into Brian's temple. Platoon then pulled Brian up and began to do some real damage, kicking him in the side of the head after hitting the ropes. Brian was in trouble and looked like he didn't know where he was. Platoon pulled him up and delivered a stalling suplex, dropping him hard to the mat. Brett yelled for his brother to get back into the match, but when he got up, Platoon kicked him in the gut and delivered the "Last Chance", rolling him over and making the cover for the win. Match Time: 5:44 Lawler: "And that does it, J.R., what a devastating move that Last Chance is"! J.R.: "You may not like his attitude and if you don't, I agree with you, but you have to give Chris Platoon credit for the ascension up the ranks he is making here on Rampage"! "FIREFLY" PLAYED AGAIN AS PLATOON LEFT THE RING, LOOKING BACK TO SEE BRETT TRYING TO HELP BRIAN TO HIS FEET. Lawler: "He's surveying his damage and he seems to be very happy"! J.R.: "The Major Brothers have a very, very bright future here in the TWF, but tonight, Chris Platoon made a serious statement"! BACKSTAGE...... HASSAN's OFFICE.... THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACK, WHERE MUHAMMAD HASSAN IS STANDING WITH CHRIS MASTERS AND MARK HENRY. Muhammad Hassan: "The reason I called you boys to my office is because I have decided on a new main event for the night, now that Jason Oliver will not be here". Mark Henry: "Did he really have travel problems, or is he just scared"? Hassan: "Let's not worry about that right now, because tonight, the two of you will team up to take on Rob Van Dam and his partner........ The Rock". Chris Masters: "Whoa.... Muhammad, with all due respect, do you really want that match, tonight"? Hassan: "Think of it this way, Chris.... you and Mark get into the ring with those two and squash them tonight..... maybe the fans will decide not to vote for The Rock at Anarchy Rulz". MASTERS LOOKS AT HENRY Masters: "Let's go do it". MASTERS AND HENRY WALK OFF AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. "HIGHER" BY THE GAME IS PLAYING WHEN THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, AND LENNY ARMSTEAD IS INSIDE, GETTING LOOSE. J.R.: "A huge tag team main event has just been announced, but I disagree with our general manager's view on how it will change the voter's minds". Lawler: "Are you kidding, J.R.? Against Chris Masters and Mark Henry, The Rock may not even make it to Anarchy Rulz"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" BY AFI PLAYS, BRINGING J.J. RAMPLIN OUT THROUGH THE ECW ENTRANCE. AS RAMPLIN MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD, HE TAKES THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OFF FROM AROUND HIS WAIST AND HOPS OVER THE GUARDRAIL, GETTING INTO THE RING. J.R.: "Non-title match involving our King of Cable who hasn't lost a match in what seems like forever, King"! Lawler: "J.J. Ramplin has had as good a half year as anyone in the entire TWF, and he's only gonna get better"! J.R.: "Huge oppurtunity here for Lenny Armstead, who is still looking to break through here on Rampage". Non-Title Match Lenny Armstead vs. King of Cable: J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin The bell sounds to start the match, and Ramplin goes straight at Armstead. But after slipping away from him, Armstead peppers the King of Cable with a multitude of kicks to the legs and body. Ramplin finally catches his foot and tries to pull him into a clothesline but Armstead ducks it and runs Ramplin to the ropes, rolling him up for a 2 count. After a nice dropkick, Ramplin goes to the middle turnbuckle and flies off with a crossbody, but Ramplin catches him in mid air and turns it into a big powerslam. After putting the boots to Armstead, Ramplin tries to put him away in quick fashion, going for the "Dead Weight". But Armstead has it scouted, turning it into a hurracanrana takeover and getting another near fall. Ramplin hurries up and goes for the Ram's Horns, but Armstead counters with a drop toehold. After running to the corner, Armstead jumps onto the turnbuckle and flies off with a reverse crossbody, but Ramplin catches him in mid air, driving him into the mat with the Ram's Horns. Ramplin makes a lateral press, but only gets a 2 count when Armstead puts his left foot on the bottom rope. Ramplin can't believe it, pulling Armstead up. But after a quick kick to the chest, Armstead catches Ramplin with a round kick to the head before going to the top rope, looking for a tornado DDT. But Ramplin tosses him across the ring with a counter. Armstead lands on his feet and charges in, but Ramplin catches him with a big spinebuster. From there, Ramplin mounts Armstead and looks like a UFC fighter as he rocks him with right hand after right hand. Referee Jose Mendez calls for a break, but can't get Ramplin off. After a second warning, Mendez calls for the bell, disqualifying The Ram. Match Time: 9:18 Lawler: "What's going on here?! Why's the ref calling for the bell"?! J.R.: "I think Jose Mendez has disqualified Ramplin for not breaking on his count! RAMPLIN RETRIEVES HIS KING OF CABLE TITLE, AND BRINGS IT INTO THE RING. Oh come on..... the match is over"! JUST WHEN RAMPLIN IS READY TO DO MORE DAMAGE, MR. KENNEDY RUNS OUT TO A BIG POP AND TACKLES HIM, ROCKING HIM WITH SEVERAL PUNCHES. KENNEDY THEN WHIPS RAMPLIN TO THE ROPES, BUT RAMPLIN PUTS THE BREAKS ON, ALLOWING HIM TO GET OUT OF THE RING. KENNEDY KICKS HIS BELT UNDER THE ROPES TO HIM BEFORE HIS MUSIC HITS. Lawler: "Who the heck does Kennedy think he is?! This match didn't involve him"! J.R.: "Well he is the number one contender for Ramplin's title, King"! Lawler: "That doesn't give him the right to interfere in his matches"! J.R.: "Oh, but Ramplin can interfere in his.... I get it"! AS RAMPLIN WALKS UP THE RAMP, HE LOOKS BACK AT KENNEDY AND HOLDS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND. KENNEDY MOTIONS FOR HIM TO COME BACK TO THE RING AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR STARBURST IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD FOR "PSYCHE". RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE..... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, SNITSKY IS SHOWN IN A VERY DARK PART OF THE ARENA WHEN TAZ WALKS UP, HOLDING HIS JAW. Taz: "Yeah... I can still feel it.... whatever you hit me with last week. But I dare you..... I dare you to try that again"! TAZ GETS UP IN SNITSKY's FACE AND SNITSKY STARES BACK WITH AN EVIL LOOK BEFORE JUST LAUGHING AND WALKING AWAY. A PROMO GRAPHIC FOR ANARCHY RULZ POPS UP. IT CONTAINS THE LOGO AND A KEYBOARD ALONG WITH SHOTS OF MR. KENNEDY AND J.J. RAMPLIN INSIDE A COMPUTER SCREEN. J.R.: "Fans after what we just saw before the break, it's official! At Anarchy Rulz, Mr. Kennedy will challenge J.J. Ramplin for the King of Cable title and you, the fans, will get to vote for what type of match it will take place in"! Lawler: "Oh yeah, and from what we're being told, it will either be a ladder match, falls count anywhere, or steel cage match"! J.R.: "Let's go back to earlier in the night on Uprising, and take a look at Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made in tag team action". HIGHLIGHTS ARE SHOWN OF PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR's PERFORMANCE EARLIER ON UPRISING. BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT ALONG WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON TO SOME MASSIVE HEAT. Lawler: "Pyromania and Taylor were very impressive, but the going will get much tougher at Anarchy Rulz"! J.R.: "No question about it, King, because this man, Money Mike, the self proclaimed king of the TWF, has given the fans the oppurtunity to vote for his tag team partner at Anarchy Rulz from a host of former GSE superstars"! TYRONE ZORILLA IS SHOWN WAITING IN THE RING AS MONEY MIKE GETS IN. Lawler: "Did you see some of the names on that list, J.R.? I really want to know where they plan on pulling some of these guys out of, should they get voted into that match"! Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. Tyrone Zorilla The bell sounded and Money Mike went to get a kiss on the cheek from Steph, but he turned right into a right hand from Zorilla. Mike took a swing but missed and Zorilla tagged him with another. After running the ropes, Zorilla went into a bodyscissor and just when it looked like Mike would slam him to the mat, Zorilla turned it into a bulldog. The crowd was pleasantly surprised to see Zorilla coming out strong against Money Mike and after climbing the top rope, he was right on the mark with a missile dropkick. The crowd counted as Zorilla got the 1........2........., but Mike was up. Mike got up and looked stunned by the start of Zorilla, but Zorilla wasn't about to let him catch his breath. After more right hands, Zorilla went for an irish whip but Mike reversed it and turned it into a stun gun, followed by a heavy DDT. Mike looked into the fans, yelling at a few ringside hecklers. He then lifted Zorilla up and took him to one of the corners where he must've rammed his face into the top turnbuckle 15 times. Dazed, Zorilla fell into Mike's clutches, but the "Money Pit" was countered and after ducking a clothesline, Zorilla smacked Mike with a quick Tajiri-style kick to the face. He then hit an incredible standing shooting star press, hooking the leg for another long 2 count. Zorilla grabbed Mike by the head and pulled him up, whipping him into the corner, but he posted his right shoulder when Mike moved. Mike then grabbed Zorilla and threw the shoulder into the post again before pulling him out into the Money Pit where he hooked the leg and got the 3 count. Match Time: 6:56 Lawler: "Shooooooo, that was a lot closer than it should've been"! J.R.: "Money Mike has survived a bit of a scare from a very game Tyrone Zorilla, but he looks ready as ever for Anarchy Rulz"! "KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN AS MONEY MIKE AND STEPHANIE CELEBRATED THE WIN. Lawler: "Well he's about to teach some royal respect to those two punks Pyromania and Taylor Made..... he just needs a tag team partner"! BACKSTAGE....... IN THE BACK, MATT CRUZ AND NEMESIS ARE SHOWN. Matt Cruz: "Can you believe this? Oliver has some sort of travel difficulties? NEMESIS JUST STARES OFF, ALMOST NOT PAYING ATTENTION. Well I don't know about you, but I ain't buyin' it". THE SHOT IS RETURNED TO THE RING, WHERE ALDO CORLEONE AND ROB STORM ARE. STORM HAS A MICROPHONE. Lawler: "On what grounds can Matt Cruz make an accusation like that"?! Rob Storm: "Okay, Foley, here we are! We said we were gonna call you.... I mean Cactus Jack out tonight.... so let's go.... we're ready"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, THE CROWD COMES UNGLUED AS THE MUSIC OF THE LEGENDARY CACTUS JACK HITS. J.R.: "Here he comes, King, the Mayor of No Man's Land and if you ask me..... Storm and Aldo better be ready for a fight"! Lawler: "Yeah, but where is he"?! THE MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY, BUT THERE IS NO SIGN OF CACTUS JACK. Storm: "Yeah.... exactly what we thought! We already took care of one of your alter egos when we beat the hell out of Dude Love! Did ya learn your lesson, Foley"?! J.R.: "Wait a minute.... look who it is"! THE FANS CHEER AS MANKIND COMES OUT OF THE CROWD WITH A STEEL CHAIR AND CRACKS IT ACROSS THE BACK OF ALDO's HEAD, KNOCKING HIM THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR. STORM TAKES A SHOT BUT MANKIND MOVES AND JABS THE CHAIR INTO HIS RIBS. THE FANS CHEER AS HE PUTS HIS HAND DOWN THE FRONT OF HIS TIGHTS AND PULLS OUT SOCKO! MANKIND PUTS THE SOCK ON HIS HAND AND JAMS IT INTO THE THROAT OF STORM, SENDING THE CROWD INTO A FRENZY! Lawler: "Ahhhh!!! Look what he's doing with that dirty, disgusting sock"! MANKIND LET's STORM GO AND HE FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES. MANKIND STANDS TALL IN THE RING AS THE CANADIAN-ITALIAN EXCHANGE RETREATS. J.R.: "Well who learned their lesson now! Mick Foley, Dude Love, Mankind, whatever you want to call him, may be the master of mind games.... and he just played these two like a damn fiddle"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ A COMMERCIAL FOR BURGER KING IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR UFC 74 FEATURING GEORGES ST. PIERRE VS. JOSH KOSCHECK. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA COMES IS PLAYING AND MARK HENRY IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. J.R.: "We are back here on the USA network and we are live! Folks, you are looking at possibly the most imposing force in the entire TWF today"! Lawler: "You won't get any argument out of me"! THE BOOS GROW EVEN LOUDER AS CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH HIS PYRO, POSING WITH THE WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "Chris Masters and Mark Henry may very well be the most powerful team we've ever seen on Rampage, King"! Lawler: "Oh I don't think there's any question about it! You got the world's strongest man and the world's best physique! I don't like their opponents chances"! A HUGE POP IS HEARD AS "ONE OF KIND" BY BREAKING POINT PLAYS INTO ROB VAN DAM's PYRO AND HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP, TO THE RING. J.R.: "Well here's a guy who has been in there with the biggest and baddest this business has to offer, and he's done so with tremendous success"! Lawler: "Well tonight, RVD's gonna need a lot more than these fans to help him win"! J.R.: "Oh look out! The match isn't even underway, and Masters and Henry are all over RVD"! AS SOON AS RVD GOT INTO THE RING, HE WAS ATTACKED. THE CROWD BOOED AS THEY WATCHED THE 2 ON 1 SITUATION UNTIL "IF YA SMELL.... WHAT THE ROCK..... IS COOKIN'" CAME ON AND THE ROCK CAME RUNNING TO THE RING TO EASILY THE BIGGEST CHEER ALL NIGHT! THE ROCK GOT IN AND HIT MASTERS AND HENRY WITH RIGHT HANDS BEFORE PICKING MASTERS UP FOR HIS SPINEBUSTER, ONLY TO HAVE HENRY COME FROM BEHIND AND KNOCK HIM OUT OF THE RING. Chris Masters and Mark Henry vs. The Rock and Rob Van Dam After The Rock was knocked out of the ring, Henry and Masters shifted their attention back to RVD. Masters delivered a huge backbreaker across the knee before whipping him into the corner where he drove his shoulders into his abdomen multiple times. Henry made the tag to get back in and he squashed RVD with a splash in the corner. From there, Henry locked in a bear hug, and he was about to squeeze everything out of Van Dam. Fortunately for RVD, he used an ear clap twice to get free. He then hit the ropes, but Henry smashed him with a clothesline and went for a big splash, but he missed when RVD rolled out of the way. RVD then got to his corner to tag in The Rock, throwing the crowd into a huge cheer. Rock blasted Henry with 3 overhand rights before shooting him to the ropes where Masters slapped his back to make a blind tag. Rock tried to lift Henry up and he almost had him but Masters came in and just pushed all the weight of Henry onto The Rock. Masters then put the boots to the 'Great One' before pulling him up for a big delay vertical suplex. Masters went for the cover, but Rock was up at 2. Masters pulled him up and whipped him to the corner before running in but Rock was waiting with a back elbow before hitting a running clothesline that nearly took him out of his boots. Rock made the tag to RVD before running over and popping Henry with 2 hard right hands but Henry blocked a third and pulled him down over the top rope with a hangman. Meanwhile, RVD came off the top rope with a martial arts kick to the chest of the World champ, but when he went for the Rolling Thunder, Masters got his knees up into the small of RVD's back. Masters then got up with his arms out, waiting for RVD to get up. RVD used the ropes to pull himself up, but soon found himself in the clutches of the "Masterlock". RVD tried like crazy to get out, but Masters shook him around, showing his might. Referee Jim Korderas moved in and checked the arm, allowing it to drop once before calling for the bell. Match Time: 10:05 Lawler: "That's it.... RVD's out"! J.R.: "The ref has ended this match due to submission and what a feather this is gonna be in Masters' cap"! THE ROCK CHECKED ON RVD AS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT WITH THE WORLD TITLE AS HENRY STOOD BY. Lawler: "And maybe that will make the fans think twice about who they're gonna vote for at Anarchy Rulz! Do either of those guys in the ring deserve a shot at the Masterpiece"?! OFF AIR.........
