"TO BE LOVED" STARTS UP AS DOES THE OPENING VIDEO MONTAGE FOR RAMPAGE, SHOWING ALL OF THE STARS. THE ARENA IS SHOWN, BLAZING WITH PYRO AND STUFFED WITH TWF FANS, SCREAMING THEIR LUNGS OUT.

MOST OF THE CHEERS QUICKLY TURN TO BOOS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS BEFORE J.J. RAMPLIN STEPS OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

Jim Ross: "Welcome to TWF Rampage where we are in the midst of the King of the Ring tournament, steamrolling to the 2008 Royal Rumble"!

Lawler: "You're absolutely right, J.R., we've got four huge tournament matches tonight which means four men will creep one step closer to the main event of WrestleMania"!

J.R.: "The King of Cable champion is out here to start the show, but Ramplin's title will not be on the line in this match".

THE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER MOVIES PLAYS AND ALDO CORLEONE COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS AS WELL.

Lawler: "The title might not be on the line, but moving on in this tournament is just as big"!

J.R.: "Nearly three hundred pounds of Italian muscle here, Aldo Corleone is going to be a very tough matchup for The Ram".

Lawler: "J.J. Ramplin has been overlooked for too long, J.R., he's moved into the upper echelon of TWF superstars and if you ask me, he's gotta be one of the favorites left in this tournament"!

J.R.: "The move to ECW has certainly helped Ramplin achieve the level of success that he has, but Aldo Corleone has been equally as impressive since his debut".

Non-Title/King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

King of Cable: J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin vs. Aldo Corleone

The bell sounded and the very imposing Corleone moved towards The Ram in a boxing stance. Ramplin stood his ground and shot at him, looking for a double leg. Ramplin showed a lot of strength as he drove Corleone into the corner, but Aldo began to pound at the back of Ramplin before dropping him with a big knee. Corleone then ran Ramplin over with a big clothesline before dropping an elbow across his chest. Aldo made the cover, but Ramplin was up at 2. Corleone pulled The Ram to his feet and flung him into the corner but he missed with a charging clothesline and Ramplin dropkicked him in the back of the right knee. Ramplin then swung Corelone around and popped him with 2 stiff right hands before hitting the ropes, looking for his spear. But Corleone was able to kick him right in the face as he charged in before scooping him up for a falling powerslam. Coreleone had a leg hooked, but Ramplin again kicked out. Corleone then loaded Ramplin up for a suplex but Ramplin blocked it and punched him twice in the left kidney. Ramplin then ducked a clothesline and threw a right hand but Aldo blocked it and knocked him to the mat with a big knifedge. Ramplin got up and Aldo caught him in the side of the head with the Mafia Kick. Ramplin fell to the mat, arms out, but Elijah Burke came running out and jumped up on the apron. Aldo saw him and took a swing, but Burke jumped off the apron and ran to the other side of the ring, taking Lilian Garcia's chair. He folded the chair over and got up on the apron again. The referee was drawn over by Ramplin, and Burke cracked Aldo across the back. Aldo winced in pain, but referee Chad Patton heard the chair make contact and got up to see Burke holding it. Burke dropped the chair and put his hands up saying, "What.... what'd I do"? Patton promptly called for the bell and awarded the match to Corleone by disqualification.

Match Time: 5:17

Lawler: "What happened"?

J.R.: "I think the ref threw this out! He's disqualified Ramplin"!

CORLEONE LEFT THE RING TO HIS MUSIC, NOT TURNING BACK TO SEE RAMPLIN AND BURKE, WHO SEEMED TO BE ARGUING.

Lawler: "Well as you can see, J.J. Ramplin doesn't seem too happy with the result, and Elijah Burke is trying to plead his case"!

J.R.: "Whatever the case may be, Ramplin is out and Aldo Corleone has advanced"!

RAMPLIN GRABBED HIS TITLE AND LEFT THE RING, LEAVING BURKE WHO WAS STILL TRYING TO EXPLAIN HIS ACTIONS AS THE SHOT FADED OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR UPS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR E-TRADE.

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

LENNY ARMSTEAD IS IN THE RING GETTING LOOSE WHILE "HIGHER" BY THE GAME PLAYS WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS.

J.R.: "Welcome back to Rampage and for those of you just joining us, J.J. Ramplin has been eliminated from the King of the Ring tournament following a disqualification loss to Aldo Corleone".

"REQUIEM" BY TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA HITS AS SEBASTIAN CAIN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

Lawler: "But we now switch our focus to the Royal Rumble and one of these two men will qualify"!

J.R.: "Here comes the very different, very odd Sebastian Cain who says he is here to make the TWF a better, more wholesome place, but call me crazy, King, I don't think that's his real intention".

Lawler: "And why is that, have you spoken with him"?

J.R.: "He just has a very odd presence, a chilling demeanor. But as evidenced last week, he's very dangerous in the ring and that's something that Lenny Armstead will have to be ready for".

Lawler: "Well who can forget Lenny Armstead's performance in last year's Royal Rumble? He came out of nowhere and nearly won it"!

J.R.: "He sure did, making it all the way to the end with eventual winner John Cena, but he'll have to get by Sebastian Cain to even get in the Rumble this year".

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Sebastian Cain vs. Lenny Armstead

The two men locked up and Cain raked the eyes of Armstead before dropping him with an uppercut thrust to the throat. After sending Armstead to the corner, Cain went wild on him with lefts and rights to the head and body. Armstead kicked him in the gut, but Cain grabbed him by the throat, using all of Jose Mendez's 5 count before breaking it. Cain then pulled Lenny out of the corner and delivered a nice jackhammer style suplex, but he made no cover. After hitting the ropes, Cain went for a big legdrop but Armstead was fortunate enough to roll out of the way. Armstead then went to his bread and butter-his kicks. He kicked Cain in the ribs as he tried to get up before catching him with one to the back of the head. Armstead then ran at Cain and jumped into the air, pulling him down face first onto his knees. Armstead went to the top rope and came off with a missile dropkick, clipping Cain on the shoulder. Armstead scrambled over into a cover, but Cain got a shoulder up at 2. Armstead pulled Cain to his knees and ran the ropes. Cain threw a clothesline but Lenny ducked and used the other side to springboard off but Cain caught him in mid air with a nasty version of the Diamond Cutter or RKO! From there, Cain pulled Armstead up and delivered the Burning Hammer, rolling him over for the academic 1......2.........3.

Match Time: 5:44

Lawler: "Well there won't be a runner up performance from Lenny Armstead this year"!

J.R.: "A huge win for Sebastian Cain and while I know I'm not the only one questioning this man's motives, it's hard to question his ability"!

"REQUIEM" PLAYED AGAIN AND CAIN SLOWLY LEFT THE RING WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE STARED BACK AT THE RING, AN EVIL LOOK IN HIS EYES.

Lawler: "I know one thing, the other twenty nine guys in the Royal Rumble better be on the lookout for this guy".

BACKSTAGE AREA......

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING BY WITH EYE SPY AND CANDICE MICHELLE.

Todd Grisham: "Here with me at this time is the former Rampage Tag Team champions, Eye Spy and......

Candice: "Oh they won't be former champs for long, Todd. Eye Spy has excercised their rematch clause and they will be getting their rematch at the Royal Rumble".

Grisham: "I was getting to that".

M.X. Ogden: "Shut up, Todd! Don't talk to my girl like that!

Candice smiles as Alex Shelley has his video camera on record.

Everyone knows that the Major Brothers pulled off the biggest tag team upset of all time at DoomsDay, but it won't happen again! This time, things will be different! Muhammad Hassan has agreed to make this a Scaffold match, and I know you boys know what that is! You see Brett, Brian, I didn't forget where I came from, like you two bleach blonde pussies! At the Royal Rumble, Alex and I..... we get our titles back".

Grisham: "Okay let's not talk about the Major Brothers for moment. On the last Rampage, there was a special invitation divas bikini contest in which you guys decided to play some very private footage of Melina to the entire nation. Melina has now taken an indefinite leave of absence from the TWF. Sre you guys proud of that"?

Ogden: "Are you expecting some sort of remorse? Give me a break, Todd.... you go and.......

JUST THEN, THE MAJOR BROTHERS WALK UP WITH THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLES. THEY ARE BOTH WEARING SKULL CAPS, BRETT THE NEW YORK KNICKS AND BRIAN THE NEW YORK GIANTS.

Brett Major: "So we forgot where we came from? Last time I checked, humiliating women and then bragging about it, wasn't how we were brought into this business. Plus, I'm Brett, he's Brian, I think we know who we are. What's your real name..... M.X."?

OGDEN PULLS HIS RIGHT HAND BACK BUT SHELLEY CATCHES IT, HOLDING HIM BACK.

Brian Major: "A scaffold match is fine with us........ Max".

THE MAJOR BROTHERS WALK AWAY AND OGDEN IS OBVIOUSLY HEATED.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRIS PLATOON IS IN THE RING AWAITING HIS OPPONENT AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AGAIN AND ELIJAH BURKE MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD AFTER COMING THROUGH THE ECW ENTRANCE.

J.R.: "A scaffold match? Boy that'll bring back some memories, I haven't seen one of those in years"!

Lawler: "Well we just saw Elijah Burke out here not too long ago and now it's his turn to try to advance in the King of the Ring tournament. I don't know what it is about this guy, but I could see him with that crown and cape on. It takes a King to know a King"!

J.R.: "Well Chris Platoon stands on the other side of the ring and something tells me he'll have something to say about that".

King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Elijah Burke vs. Chris Platoon

Much like the first tournament match, the crowd was very much against both men. Platoon engaged in an echange of punches with the former amatuer boxer and toughman contest winner, and Burke soon began to work circles around Platoon, landing a left jab and then a right cross that busted his nose. Burke stayed on the offensive, running across the ring and using the ropes in the corner to drop an elbow after being completely straight up and down. Burke pulled Platoon up but Platoon blocked a right hand and blasted him with a knifedge chop. After a kick to the gut, Platoon grabbed Burke and threw him into the corner, his left shoulder making contact with the post. From there, Platoon used a backdrop suplex, dropping Burke on that same shoulder before hitting the ropes for a kneedrop. Platoon made the cover, but Burke was up at 2. With things clearly in his favor know, Platoon kept the pressure on Burke and after a facebuster on the knee, he tried to go for the "Last Chance" but Burke had it scouted, flipping over into a pin and nearly stealing the match. Burke connected on a swinging neckbreaker before pulling Platoon up, looking for the "Elijah Experience". Platoon was able to elbow Burke on the side of the head to break free. Burke responded with a clothesline but Platoon avoided it and Burke drilled referee Scott Martin with it! Burke tried to get him up, but Platoon came from behind with a low blow. Platoon the preyed on Burke, waiting to put him away but J.J. Ramplin made his way through the crowd and into the ring. Platoon turned to see Ramplin charging with the Ram's Horns, and he got out of the way just in time. Instead, Ramplin speared Burke just as Martin began to get up. Ramplin couldn't believe his mistake but Platoon came from behind and dumped him over the top rope. Platoon then fell into a cover and Martin pounded the mat for the 1........2.......3.

Match Time: 11:44

J.R.: "Can you believe this?! Elijah Burke is out of the King of the Ring tournament due to a mistake made by J.J. Ramplin, much the same way Ramplin was eliminated earlier tonight"!

Lawler: "I can't believe this! ECW is falling one by one"!

"FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN PLAYED AS PLATOON WENT UP THE RAMP, HIS RIGHT HAND RAISED IN THE AIR. IN THE RING, BURKE AND RAMPLIN WERE UP IN EACH OTHER's FACE, LOOKING READY TO BRAWL.

J.R.: "Two huge mistakes tonight for ECW..... now look at this".

Lawler: "Someone needs to pull these two apart before ECW has some real problems"!

WITH THE CROWD CHANTING "FIGHT", BURKE FINALLY PULLS HIMSELF AWAY AND LEAVES THE RING.

J.R.: "Well it looks like cooler heads have prevailed, but no one saw this tournament go the way it's gone"!

BACKSTAGE.......

LUYU DAWNSTAR IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WHEN CHINA ROSE COMES UP IN A PINK AND WHITE WRESTLING OUTFIT.

China Rose: "Like my outfit"?

Luyu Dawnstar: "Yeah, it's pretty".

China Rose: "C'mon, Luyu, I've been waiting for my first match for so long, and I just want your support...... please".

Luyu: "I'm not gonna root for you or Mickie, she's my friend too. Just go out there, do your best, and have fun".

China Rose: "Oh, this is gonna be fun".

J.R.: "Welcome back live to TWF Rampage here on the USA network and we are ready for the in ring debut of a very.... well unique woman, China Rose".

Lawler: "All we know about this girl is she has a huge infatuation with Luyu Dawnstar.... now it's time to see what she can do in the ring"!

THE FANS CHEER WHEN MICKIE JAMES' MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST.

J.R.: "On the last Rampage, Mickie James won the Major Brother's special invitation divas bikini contest only to have China Rose come out and first congratulate her, then challenge her to this match".

Lawler: "The title is not on the line here, J.R., but China Rose could move herself right up the ladder of the Women's division"!

Non-Title Match

China Rose vs. Women's Champion: Mickie James

Before the match becomes official, China Rose goes to shake Mickie's hand but Mickie just wants to get the action going, getting ready to lock up. From behind, Luyu Dawnstar enters the ring and attacks Mickie, smashing her in the back of the head! Referee Jack Doan immediately calls for the bell as the crowd is in shock. From there, China Rose joins in, catching Mickie with a spinning back kick to the head. Luyu then grabs Mickie and delivers the "Eagle's Landing" with plenty of impact.

J.R.: "What the hell is going on here..... Luyu Dawnstar has completely lost it"!

CHINA PULLS MICKIE BACK TO HER FEET BY HER HAIR AND SHE AIDS LUYU IN PICKING HER UP BEFORE THEY PUT HER RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A DOUBLE DDT.

Lawler: "Look at this.... they're destroying Mickie James"!

LUYU STARTS TO LEAVE THE RING BUT TURNS BACK AND LOOKS AT CHINA WITH A SICK GRIN. SHE THEN WALKS BACK OVER TO CHINA AND THE TWO BEGIN KISSING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!

J.R.: "Oh you've gotta be kidding me! This is disgusting"!

Lawler: "Disgusting? This is great"!

THE FANS BOO AS THE TWO WOMEN LEAVE THE RING AND "PATH" BEGINS TO PLAY AGAIN.

J.R.: "I know I speak for everyone in here when I say that I didn't see this coming! Luyu Dawnstar has just turned her back on.... well everything"!

Lawler: "Apparently, there was more to the relationship with these two ladies then met the eye"!

BACKSTAGE......

Roucka: "Oh, I'm sorry".

ROUCKA TRIES TO WALK AROUND HIM, BUT HE MOVES INTO HER WAY.

Roucka: "Uh........

Snitsky: "I was wondering.... do you have any plans for later tonight"?

Roucka: "Uh.... I'm not.......

Snitsky: "Answer the question, please".

Roucka: "Alright look, I think a lot of the guys around here have me confused with the rest of the hos and sluts that have made their way through the TWF doors over the years but let me make myself perfectly clear.... I am not...... one of them"!

ROUCKA TURNS AND WALKS OFF IN THE OTHER DIRECTION BEFORE THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

The Hollywood Blondes vs. World's Greatest Tag Team

Two teams looking for a win to ascend the tag team ranks of Rampage went at it here, and it was all Haas and Benjamin. Mercury and Nitro had some miscommunication errors which the World's Greatest Tag Team was able to take advantage of. Benjamin caught Nitro with the dragonwhip kick which knocked him out of the ring. On the other side of the ring, Mercury hit Haas in the back of the head with a forearm and grabbed him in a waistlock. But Haas came up with a standing switch and held Mercury out for Benjamin to superkick him before taking him over with a german suplex for the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:05

After the match, Nitro got up in Mercury's face and shoved him. Mercury shoved him back and Nitro went out of the ring, grabbing a steel chair, which Mercury never saw. Nitro came back in and smacked Mercury across the back with the chair before pounding it over his head!

J.R.: "My God what a shot! What the hell has gotten into Johnny Nitro"?!

AFTER LEAVING HIS PARTNER LAYING, NITRO DROPPED THE CHAIR AND LEFT THE RING.

Lawler: "Oh look out, there's Mark Henry"!

MARK HENRY CAME INTO THE RING, SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE AND SMASHED HAAS WITH A CLOTHESLINE. SHELTON WENT FOR A SUPERKICK BUT HENRY CAUGHT HIS FOOT AND PUSHED HIM BACK BEFORE CATCHING HIM IN MID AIR AND DELIVERING THE "WORLD's STRONGEST SLAM". HENRY THEN ASKED FOR A MICROPHONE.

J.R.: "The world's strongest man is laying waste to the World's Greatest Tag Team"!

Mark Henry: "I'm out here for one reason..... Chris Masters..... I want a TWF World title shot and I'm not leaving this ring until I get one"!

Lawler: "And now he's calling out the Masterpiece"!

TOO A TON OF BOOS, CHRIS MASTERS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON IN STREET CLOTHES WITH A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Chris Masters: "You want a World title shot, huh Mark? Look, I could care less if you sit out in that ring all night. But last week, you said something that I took serious offense to. You said that you are the reason I've been TWF champion as long as I have. So at the Royal Rumble, you're gonna get your wish Mister Gorilla's in the Mist. You're gonna get me one on one for the TWF World title and once I defeat you with Masterlock, everyone will know that I've been the champion as long as I have because I am the hottest thing going in this business today"!

THE TRON CUTS OUT AND HENRY IS STILL SHOUTING BACK AT MASTERS. "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" PLAYS AS HENRY DROPS THE MIC AND LEAVES THE RING TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS.

J.R.: "So it seems that Mark Henry has gotten the World title match he's been craving, now can he capitalize on it"?!

Lawler: "I still can't get over the Gorilla's in the Mist comment"!

J.R.: "Folks you don't want to go away, we still have two matches in the King of the Ring tournament to go"!

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING BY WITH MONEY MIKE.

Todd Grisham: "Money Mike, last week on Rampage, we saw The Boogeyman make an interesting appearance in your match with Nemesis. Care to shed any light on that"?

Money Mike: "Any light on what? I know as much as you and all these stupid fans know about that. The Boogeyman decided to interject himself into my match, and it worked into my favor".

Grisham: "So there's nothing to make of the rumors going around that you're trying to start your own royal family here on Rampage"?

Money Mike: "Even if I was, do you really think I'd allow The Boogeyman, the piece of worthlessness that he is, to be a part of it"?

MIKE WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" HITS WITH THE LAUGH OF THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN BEFORE LEADING INTO THE NATIVE AMERICAN WARCHANT OF TATANKA AND HIS MUSIC.

J.R.: "Money Mike will be in action in the match that will follow this one, but this should be a hard hitting, hard nosed fight that I......

Lawler: "Just say it, J.R., it's gonna be a slobberknocker"!

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AGAIN AND THIS TIME, SYLVESTER TERKAY COMES OUT OF THE ECW ENTRANCE TO MANY BOOS.

J.R.: "I'll tell ya, I don't think the night could be any worse than it's been for ECW and Sylvester Terkay has the chance to either stop the bleeding.... or make it worse".

Lawler: "This one is too close to call! Terkay is a tough match for anyone, but you know Dibiase's got Tatanka ready"!

King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Tatanka w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Sylvester Terkay

This was as highly competitive a match that we have seen on Rampage in years. Terkay came out swinging, throwing some open handed shots at the head of Tatanka, but Tatanka took them and fought him off with some right hands of his own before slapping his chest with a barrage of knifedge chops. Tatanka went for an irish whip but Terkay reversed it. Terkay dropped his head a little early and Tatanka kicked him in the head but Terkay nailed him with a clothesline. Terkay then grabbed the right arm of Tatanka and had the triangle armbar locked in. Tatanka had no way out other than to get to the ropes, which he did with his right foot. Terkay was in firm control of this match now and after dropping Tatanka over the top turnbuckle with the snake eyes, he drove several right hands into his lower body before dropping him with a roundhouse kick to the head. The former MMA superstar Terkay had Tatanka in a lot of trouble but when he tried to slam into him in the corner, Tatanka moved out of the way. Quickly, Tatanka went outside the ring to the top turnbuckle and flew off with a tomahawk chop right between the eyes. Tatanka made the cover, but Terkay was up at 2. Both men got to their feet and Tatanka beat Terkay to the punch before nearly scoring the fall with a backslide. Tatanka went for a swinging neckbreaker, but Terkay blocked it and threw him throat first over the top rope. He then hit the ropes and kicked Tatanka right in the side of the head. Dibiase yelled "Get up"! as Terkay made the cover. Tatanka was up at 2, but Terkay seemed to be ready to put him away. He picked him up for a powerbomb but Tatanka punched his way free. Terkay got up and Tatanka rocked him with 3 more knifedge chops before hitting the ropes but Terkay connected with a backhand discus punch, catching the Native American right in the chops. The Million Dollar Man got up on the apron, giving Tatanka the time to get to his feet. Tatanka ran at Terkay from behind but Terkay sidestepped him and threw him towards Dibiase. Tatanka was able to put the brakes on before he and his manager collided but when he turned back around, Terkay was waiting with the Heart Punch! Tatanka fell to the mat as the Manbear covered him for the 3 count and the win.

Match Time: 14:44

Lawler: "Well there's your answer, J.R, it looks like Terkay has stopped the bleeding for ECW"!

J.R.: "What a great match that was.... neither man was going to go out quietly, but that Heart Punch once again proved to be the equalizer and King if you ask me, that is one of the most devastating moves in the TWF today"!

TERKAY LEFT THE RING, ALMOST EMOTIONLESS AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AGAIN.

Lawler: "I won't disagree with that one, Tatanka looked like he'd been hit by a Mack truck"!

J.R.: "Well the man from Big Bear, California, representing ECW, has advanced in the King of the Ring tournament"!

Johnny Nitro: "What do you want"?

Grisham: "Well obviously, everyone wants to know what caused you to snap and attack your partner Joey Mercury out there tonight".

Nitro: "Well in case you haven't noticed, I am and always have been the one who carried our team and I just got to the point where I couldn't let Joey Mercury hold me down anymore"!

Grisham: "Well one has to wonder, what does the rest of ECW think of this"?

Nitro: "Oh I've talked to them all, including Joe Corey, and I had their blessing to do what I did. So before you ask, what's next for me, let me just tell you that I have a meeting scheduled with Muhammad Hassan to discuss that"!

J.R.: "One spot remains in the final four of the Rampage side of the King of the Ring tournament and it will go to one of these two men".

Lawler: "And we all know that this man won the tournament last year and we all know that he's the odds on favorite to win it again this year"!

J.R.: "Money Mike has a career record of six and O in the King of the Ring tournament, and Carlito is the only thing standing in his way of facing Sylvester Terkay, whom he eliminated last year, in the next round".

Lawler: "The bad apple is gonna have to be really good if he wants to win this one"!

King of the Ring Tournament 2nd Round

Carlito vs. Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon

The bell sounded and Money Mike looked to get under the skin of Carlito early, asking referee Jim Korderas to check him for foreign objects. Korderas checked his elbow pads, tights, knee pads and boots before a fiery Carlito charged out of the corner and tackled Mike, pounding him with right hands. Carlito then whipped Mike to the corner after pulling him up ad he fired down on him with left hands before Mike grabbed the back of his legs and took a step forward, dropping him with a reverse snake eyes. Mike then ran the ropes and nailed Carlito with a big clothesline. Mike then pulled Carlito up by his afro-style hair, lifting him to the top rope before climbing up with him and pulling him to the mat with a superplex. Mike seemed to have Carlito on the verge of defeat but the crowd began to cheer as red smoke filled the entrance and the Boogeyman made his way down the aisle. Mike looked on and said "Go back..... I don't need you tonight"! all while Carlito was slowly getting up in the ring. Stephanie grabbed the apple Carlito came out with as The Boogeyman got closer to the ring. In the ring, Carlito charged at Mike but Mike caught him and delivered a big spinebuster. By this point, the red smoke had partially filled the ring as Steph took a bite of the apple and got on the apron. Doing her best Carlito impersonation, Steph spit the apple but she didn't realize she spit it right in Mike's face due to the smoke. Mike tried to gain his eyesight but Carlito rolled him up from behind and Korderas issued the 1.........2........3!

Match Time: 6:44

Lawler: "Oh my God.... there's no way"!

J.R.: "Oh wow! Carlito has defeated Money Mike! Can you believe this"?!

Lawler: "This has got to be the biggest upset ever! I don't believe it"!

CARLITO's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE WENT UP THE RAMP WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. MOST OF THE CROWD WAS ACTUALLY CHEERING HIM.

J.R.: "The 2007 King of the Ring has just been kicked off his throne"!

THE BOOGEYMAN STOOD AT RINGSIDE, LOOKING IN AT MIKE WHO WAS FURIOUS.

Lawler: "Just don't blame Stephanie for this, it's not her fault! It's that idiot The Boogeyman"!

J.R.: "Stephanie spit back in Mike's face.... but this time it was Carlito's apple"!

OFF AIR................
