Amway Arena

Orlando, Florida

Attendance: 10,267

February 10, 2008

It was the last show before the Royal Rumble and fans stormed the Amway Arena in Orlando to catch the stars of Rampage.

Lenny Armstead vs. Rob Storm

This was a great way to start the show as both Armstead and Storm hit several high impact moves. After catching Storm with a perfect crescent kick, Armstead pulled him up and whipped him to the corner. But when he followed in, Storm got a big knee up in the side of the head before knocking him to the mat with a shot to the back of the head. Storm then went outside the ring and wrapped the right leg of Armstead around the steel ring post. Back in the ring, Storm cinched in the "Canadian Maple Leaf" and Armstead had to tap out.

Roucka vs. Ashley K.

Roucka's pursuit to prove she's more than just another pretty face continued against multi-time Women's champion Ashley K. Things between the two divas turned ugly quick, with plenty of hair pulling and slaps to the face. After kicking Roucka between the ring ropes and to the floor, Ashley went for a flying plancha, but Roucka moved out of the way. Roucka then mounted Ashley and began piling the right hands on. Ashley turned the her over and landed a couple shots of her own. The referee had clearly lost control of the two and instead of counting them out, he just tossed the match out. Finally, with the help of another official, they were able to get the two women seperated.

Matt "Madik" Cruz and Chris Tirpak vs. Snitsky and Tatanka w/ Ted Dibiase

The main event of Uprising featured a tag team match involving 4 men who will all be a part of the Royal Rumble. All 4 men got involved early, and a brawl between Snitsky and Cruz spilled to the floor, which the referee was focused on. In the ring, Tirpak dropped Tatanka with a nasty piledriver and he had him pinned, but Dibiase got on the apron and tried to come into the ring. Tirpak got up and nailed Dibiase with a knee, knocking him to the floor! But Tatanka came from behind with a low blow before picking Tirpak up and delivering the "Wykea". The referee turned around to make the 3 count, giving Tatanka and Snitsky the win.

Tatanka and Snitsky celebrated the win as Dibiase escorted them up the ramp, amid the booing crowd.

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

"TO BE LOVED" PLAYS LOUDLY INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO FOR RAMPAGE. THERE ARE NEW CLIPS OF CHINA ROSE AND SEBASTIAN CAIN MIXED IN.

THE AMWAY ARENA IN ORLANDO COMES INTO THE SHOT AND IS BLAZING WITH PYRO AND THE CHEERS OF THE 10,000+ FANS IS DEAFENING.

Jim Ross: "We are live from the sunshine state just outside Universal Studios for TWF Rampage! The King of the Ring tournament is ready to culminate into the Royal Rumble and King, what a night we have in store"!

"FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN HITS AND CHRIS PLATOON MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A LOT OF BOOS.

Jerry Lawler: "We are one step away from the Royal Rumble, and we are going to take two more steps in the King of the Ring tournament tonight"!

J.R.: "One of two semi-final matches will open up tonight's broadcast, and here comes Chris Platoon".

ON HIS WAY TO THE RING, PLATOON FINDS A FAN IN THE AISLEWAY WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS "PLATOON IS #1". PLATOON GRABS THE SIGN AND HOLDS IT UP BEFORE GIVING IT BACK TO THE FAN.

Lawler: "Look, J.R., Platoon has some fans tonight".

J.R.: "Yeah, tell both of them to cheer loudly for him".

THE THEME FROM THE "GODFATHER" COMES ON AND ALDO CORLEONE COMES OUT TO MORE BOOS.

Lawler: "Oh boy, it's gonna be tough to stop this guy".

J.R.: "The Italian Bruiser, Aldo Corleone, takes slobberknocker to a whole new level".

Lawler: "Corleone certainly seems tough to beat right now, J.R., Platoon has his work cut out for him".

J.R.: "That he does, and a spot in the Rampage finals awaits the winner".

King of the Ring Tournament Semi-Finals

Chris Platoon vs. Aldo Corleone

The bell sounded to start the match and Platoon showed he wouldn't back down an inch to Corleone, rocking him with 2 right hands followed by a kick to the right knee. Platoon then ducked a clothesline and tried to pull the big man down with a neckbreaker, but Aldo smashed him in the back of the head with an elbow. After a falling backdrop suplex, Aldo bounced off the ropes and dropped a huge elbow across the chest of Platoon. Aldo pulled Platoon to his feet and delivered a nasty clothesline before covering him for a long 2 count. Aldo then positioned himself in the corner, waiting for Platoon to get to his feet. When he did, he charged at him but Platoon countered with a drop toehold. Platoon then grabbed the feet of Aldo and pulled back with a unique submission hold. Aldo was able to grab one of the ring ropes to force a break. Platoon knew this was his chance, and he attacked the legs of Corleone. After 2 more right hands, he went for an irish whip but Corleone reversed it. He dropped his head a little too soon and Platoon came back with a facebuster to the knee. After a kick to the gut, Platoon loaded him up for the "Last Chance" but the power of Aldo was put on full display as he lifted Platoon up and fell backwards with him, landing on top of him. Platoon was in a considerable amount of pain and after slowly getting to his feet, Aldo erased him with the Mafia Kick. Aldo probably could've finished the match there, but he picked Platoon up and delivered the "Aldo Bomb" to seal the victory.

Match Time: 6:43

THE THEME FROM THE "GODFATHER" PLAYED AGAIN AS REFEREE CHAD PATTON RAISED THE ARM OF CORLEONE.

Lawler: "Well I want to send a message to anyone who is left in the King of the Ring tournament..... look out for Aldo Corleone"!

J.R.: "The Italian Bruiser is into the finals of the Rampage side, and he looks very tough to beat at this point"!

AFTER CORLEONE LEFT, PLATOON FOUND THE FAN WITH THE SIGN AGAIN. THE FAN GAVE PLATOON AN APPLAUSE AND AGAIN HELD UP HIS SIGN. BUT PLATOON RIPPED IT AWAY FROM HIM AND TORE IT IN HALF, DRAWING PLENTY OF BOOS.

Lawler: "Okay, so now he doesn't have any fans"!

J.R.: "Definitely a tough loss for Chris Platoon, but he needs to get his emotions in check!

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE RAMPAGE LOGO IS SHOWN WITH EYE SPY AND CANDICE ON ONE SIDE AND THE MAJOR BROTHERS ON THE OTHER.

Well folks, they will meet in a Scaffold match for the Rampage Tag Team titles at the Royal Rumble, but Eye Spy and the Major's want a piece of each other tonight.... don't go away"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW "DEVIL MAY CRY" VIDEO GAME IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE WHICH FEATURES RANDY ORTON CHALLENGING EDGE FOR THE UNIVERSAL TITLE.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TRINITY's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND SHE IS IN THE RING WITH JESSICA LOPEZ, WHOM WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN SOME TIME.

"ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME" BY THREE DAYS GRACE HITS AND LUYU DAWNSTAR COMES OUT HAND IN HAND WITH CHINA ROSE TO AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HEAT.

J.R.: "Well folks, we're back on Rampage and I'm not quite sure what to make of this situation. Last week, we saw China Rose and Luyu Dawnstar, who were apparently in colusion this whole time, turn on Mickie James in a very dispicable way"!

Lawler: "What about the kiss though?! Who can forget that"?!

J.R.: "Is that all you can think about?! What these two young ladies did was sneaky, underhanded, and just plain disgusting"!

Lawler: "Well this is our first chance to see what they can do as a team.... we know they already have good chemistry"!

J.R.: "I give up. I don't know about you, but I'm gonna call the match".

Luyu Dawnstar and China Rose vs. Trinity and Jessica Lopez

China Rose stepped in to start the match with Jessica Lopez, and just before they were set to lock up, China went back to her corner to get a kiss on the cheek from Luyu. Lopez turned to Trinity and threw her hands up which allowed China to come from behind with a shot to the back of the head. China then shot Lopez to the ropes and went for a clothesline but Lopez countered with a crucifix takeover and nearly got the pin. Both women got to their feet but China got a kick to the abdomen of Lopez and after twisting her right arm, she made the tag to Luyu who jumped over the top rope and came down with a double axe handle to the arm of Lopez. After a snap suplex, Luyu made the cover, but Lopez was up at 2. Luyu pulled Lopez to her feet and pushed her into the corner. After going to the opposite corner, Luyu performed a back handspring and was looking for a back elbow but Lopez moved out of the way. After a somersault, Lopez slapped the hand of Trinity who came in with a whip kick to the head of Luyu. Trinity kept the pressure on with a northern lights suplex, but China came in to stop the pin. Lopez decided to get back into the match and she rocked Rose with a right hand. Trinity pulled Luyu up but Luyu punched her in the stomach and scored with a sit-down facebuster. Luyu got up but turned around when the crowd loudly popped at the sight of Mickie James. Mickie stood at the end of the ramp in plain clothes, holding up the Women's title and pointing to it. She had some words for Luyu which couldn't be made out. Luyu came to the ropes and responded verbally to Mickie but Trinity came from behind with a rollup to get the pin!

Match Time: 5:01

Lawler: "What the.........

J.R.: "Trinity has pinned Luyu Dawnstar thanks to Mickie James returning the favor from last week"!

LOPEZ AND TRINITY EXITED THE RING AND STOOD WITH MICKIE AS TRINITY's MUSIC PLAYED AND THE CROWD CHEERED. IN THE RING, LUYU AND CHINA ROSE WERE FURIOUS AND HAD SOME WORDS FOR THE 3 LADIES, NAMELY MICKIE.

Lawler: "Well this situation is far from over, J.R.! We're on our way to seeing one heck of a catfight"!

J.R.: "Well if you ask me, this situation is really between Mickie James and Luyu Dawnstar, but Mickie may have found a way to deal with Luyu's "partner".

BACKSTAGE......

CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH UP WITH TODD GRISHAM, WHO IS WITH CARLITO OUTSIDE HIS DRESSING ROOM.

Todd Grisham: "Carlito, we know that you have a match later tonight with Sylvester Terkay in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament, and last week, we saw you do the unthinkable and defeat the reigning King of the Ring, Money Mike. Is there any way you can pull another upset tonight"?

Carlito: "What kind of question is that? Can Carlito pull another upset? Carlito doesn't consider last week to be an upset, and tonight, when I take care of the Mancub or whatever the hell he wants to call himself, that won't be an upset either. You are looking at the next King of the Ring.... and that..... that's cool".

CARLITO TAKES A BITE OF AN APPLE AND WALKS PAST GRISHAM AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

"KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD PLAYS AND MONEY MIKE MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO THOUSANDS OF BOOS. HE HAS A LARGE BLACK BAG SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER AS STEPHANIE McMAHON FOLLOWS HIM TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well speak of the devil. Here comes Money Mike, who Carlito defeated last week to advance in the King of the Ring, and what's with the bag"?

Lawler: "Well I know Carlito doesn't want to call defeating Money Mike an upset, but I know myself, and anyone with half a brain considers it an upset"!

MIKE PLACES THE BAG IN THE CORNER AND GETS A MICROPHONE FROM LILIAN GARCIA.

Money Mike: "Shut your mouths!

THE CROWD BOOS

Boogeyman, I know you're back there, and I don't want to waste a lot of time out here in front of all these Orlando losers, so please, get down to the ring"!

Lawler: "He said please".

J.R.: "What's he want with The Boogeyman"?

MOMENTS LATER, "I'M THE BOOGEYMAN.... AND I'M COMIN' TO GETCHA" IS HEARD, LEADING INTO THE BOOGEYMAN's MUSIC. HE COMES CRAWLING OUT FROM THE BACK BEFORE POPPING UP AND DOING HIS LITTLE DANCE DOWN THE AISLE.

Lawler: "Well, ask and you shall receive"!

FINALLY, THE BOOGEYMAN STEPS INTO THE RING AND STARES AT MIKE, WORMS HANGING FROM HIS MOUTH.

Money Mike: "Don't look at me like a damn idiot! You know what this is about! After I beat you at DoomsDay, I said you could have a chance to be a part of the King's Court. And since I still am the reigning King of the TWF, I have that right! But last week, you showed me, Steph and the rest of the world just how stupid you are!

MIKE GRABS THE BOOGEYMAN BY THE THROAT.

Do you realize what you cost me? I was going to be the back to back King of the Ring! I was going to once again main event WrestleMania! But now, because of your bumbling ass, that's all gone!

BOOGEYMAN KNOCKS MIKE's HAND OFF HIS THROAT, BUT MIKE RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND. BOOGEYMAN SHAKES IT OFF AND DROPS MIKE WITH A BIG HEADBUTT, KNOCKING HIM TO THE MAT. STEPHANIE JUMPS INTO THE RING AND KICKS BOOGEYMAN IN THE BACK OF THE LEGS. HE TURNS AROUND AND GRABS HER BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD, PULLING HER CLOSE TO HIS WORM INFESTED MOUTH.

Lawler: "Hey..... let her go"!

MIKE HAD GOTTEN A STEEL CHAIR FROM OUTSIDE THE RING AND AFTER BRINGING IT BACK IN, HE CRACKED BOOGEYMAN ACROSS THE BACK WITH IT. BOOGEYMAN THEN TURNED AROUND AND MIKE SMASHED THE CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD, KNOCKING HIM TO THE MAT. FROM THERE, MIKE LAID THE RIGHT LEG OF THE BOOGEYMAN INSIDE THE CHAIR BEFORE GOING TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, JUMPING OFF ONTO THE LEG. THE BOOGEYMAN WAS IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN BUT MIKE GOT HIM UP AND DELIVERED THE "MONEY PIT" RIGHT ON THE CHAIR.

Lawler: "This is gonna get real ugly, J.R."!

J.R.: "Money Mike is absolutely decimating The Boogeyman, and now he's going for that bag"!

AS STEPHANIE YELLED FOR MORE PUNISHMENT, MIKE GRABBED THE BAG HE CAME TO THE RING WITH AND DUMPED IT's CONTENTS ONTO THE FALLEN BOOGEYMAN. IT WAS THOUSANDS OF LIVE WORMS, AND THEY HAD COMPLETELY COVERED HIM.

J.R.: "Oh my God.... look at this"!

Lawler: "Talk about a taste of your own medicine"!

"KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN AND MIKE STOOD OVER THE BOOGEYMAN WITH A MANIACAL LOOK ON HIS FACE.

J.R.: "The Boogeyman has been completely destroyed by Money Mike, who has made a major statement here tonight"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR DELL PCs IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR "AMERICAN GANGSTER", NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD.

RETURN FROM BREAK......

AN ALL WHITE ROOM IS SHOWN AND SEAN O'HAIRE STEPS INTO THE SHOT WEARING A BLACK SUIT AS SOME MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY.

Sean O'Haire: "Everyone knows you love your wife, you've proven it time and time again. But there's that other girl, the one you won't admit you like a little more than her. So what's the harm in a few phone calls, a couple text messages? You go to dinner and a movie, it'll be alright, cause you'll still go home to your wife. Why should you be a one woman man? Simple, you shouldn't. So go ahead, show the mistress a good time, you only live once, right? Look, I'm not tellin' you anything..... you don't already know".

THE MUSIC STOPS AS THE SHOT CUTS OUT.

SEAN O'HAIRE....... COMING TO RAMPAGE.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "PICTURES" BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN COMES ON AND EYE SPY COMES TO THE RING ALONG WITH CANDICE. ALEX SHELLEY HAS HIS CAMERA AND TRIPOD.

J.R.: "We certainly look forward to seeing Sean O'Haire here on Rampage, but we definitely don't condone the beliefs he just expressed".

Lawler: "Well we're about to get a little preview of the Royal Rumble here, J.R."!

J.R.: "Here come the former Rampage Tag Team champs who will meet the Major Brothers in a good old fashion Scaffold match at the Royal Rumble, but both teams will look for some momentum heading it tonight".

THE MAJOR BROTHERS MUSIC HITS AND THEY RUN OUT FROM THE BACK, STRIPPING THEIR TAG TEAM BELTS OFF THEIR WAISTS ON THEIR WAY TO THE RING.

OGDEN AND SHELLEY MEET THEM ON THE RAMP AND THE FIGHT IS ON OUTSIDE THE RING. CANDICE SCRAMBLES FOR COVER AS THE 4 MEN GO AT IT.

After reversing an irish whip, Shelley sends Brett Major into the steel ring steps before going over to help Ogden with Brian Major. Following a thumb to the eye from Ogden, he and Shelley lift Brian Major into the air and drop him spine first on the floor. Shelley then picks Brian up and rolls him into the ring as Ogden runs and kicks Brett in the side of the head, smashing it against the ring steps. In the ring, Shelley has his camcorder handed to him by Candice as Ogden picks Brian up. Ogden then holds Brian in place as Shelley runs over and smashes the camera in his face, destroying it! The crowd goes into a frenzy of boos as Brian covers his right eye, which is pouring blood.

J.R.: "Oh boy, we need some medical attention out here, look at all that blood"!

Lawler: "This seems to be a very dangerous situation, J.R., and as close as we are to the Royal Rumble, this does not bode well for the Majors"!

BRETT MAJOR SLOWLY CLIMBS INTO THE RING TO CHECK ON BRIAN AS THE MEDICAL STAFF AND TRAINER HIT THE RING. EYE SPY AND CANDICE LEAVE TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT, HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK.

J.R.: "It's clear to me that Eye Spy didn't come out here to compete tonight.... there was a hidden agenda"!

Lawler: "And they were willing to destroy a camera worth thousands of dollars to do it"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

IN THE BACK, LANCE CADE AND TREVOR MURDOCH ARE SHOWN.

Trevor Murdoch: "And I'm glad we both qualified for the Rumble, but I've been the runner up before man, I think if any of us wins it, it's.......

Lance Cade: "Whoa, before you go there, just understand that if I have to eliminate you, I will".

JUST THEN, SEBASTIAN CAIN ENTERS THE SHOT.

Sebastian Cain: "Everyone knows the Royal Rumble is every man for himself, and that's why it's good you two are going against the Brokeback Mountain routine".

Cade: "What"?!

CADE LUNGES AT CAIN, BUT MURDOCH HOLDS HIM BACK.

Cain: "And Trevor, you should really quit chewing tobacco, it's bad for you".

CAIN WALKS AWAY WITH A GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Murdoch: "That son of a bitch".

"IF YA SMELL...... WHAT THE ROCK..... IS COOKIN'" COMES ON AND THE ROCK COMES TO THE RING WEARING A WHITE WIFEBEATER AND BLUE JEANS. HE IS GREETED BY THE BIGGEST REACTION OF THE NIGHT.

J.R.: "Well we haven't seen The Rock since his tag team loss at DoomsDay but we've heard all week about a special announcement that he was supposed to make"!

Lawler: "And I know I speak for everyone watching when I say, I can't wait to hear what The Rock is going to announce"!

"ROCKY" CHANTS RESONATE THROUGH THE AMWAY ARENA AS THE ROCK GETS A MICROPHONE.

The Rock: "I wanted to come out here tonight and speak to the people, but I want to make this short and sweet. I want to make it clear that I don't feel like I owe you people this explanation, but as of the end of this promo, The Rock's wrestling career is over".

THE FANS BOO

J.R.: "What"?

The Rock: "My heart is no longer in this business and it makes me sick to my stomach to think about all the movie deals that have passed me by while I'm here trying to live past glory".

Lawler: "Movie deals? What's gotten into The Rock"?

The Rock: "So what I am..........

THE ROCK IS CUT OFF BY THE VOICE OF JASON OLIVER, WHO EMERGES FROM THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

Jason Oliver: "Whoa, hold up here, what are you saying? You're saying you want to leave? And for what, for Hollywood? C'mon, Rock, without this great business, you wouldn't have that chance.

OLIVER GETS INTO THE RING.

And more importantly, I wouldn't even be in this business if it wasn't for you! You were the one who told me that.......

The Rock: "Look, kid, don't try coming out here to change my mind".

Oliver: "Kid? What the hell has gotten into you? For God sake, you're not even speaking in the third person. You can't go out like this man, you gotta stick it out and show the world that you are the best this business has or ever will see"!

THE CROWD CHEERS IN SUPPORT OF OLIVER's STATEMENT.

OLIVER EXTENDS HIS HAND AND AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, THE ROCK SHAKES IT. THE TWO SEEM TO BE SHARING A MOMENT UNTIL THE ROCK PULLS OLIVER INTO A "ROCK BOTTOM"!

J.R.: "Oh come on! What the hell is this about"?!

The Rock: "Finally...... The Rock has left..... the world of sports entertainment! If ya smell........ what The Rock.........

THE ROCK JUST DROPS THE MIC AS THE CROWD FINISHES THE SENTENCE AND HE LEAVES THE RING. NO MUSIC IS PLAYED.

J.R.: "Well fans, I am shocked and genuinely sad for what has just happened here. The Rock, easily one of the greatest superstars in the history of this great business, has just kicked the business in the teeth"!

Lawler: "Just a completely different demeanor tonight from The Rock, J.R., and not even Jason Oliver, who has always looked up to The Rock, could change his mind".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER PROMO FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE FEATURING UMAGA VS. AXL IRVIN.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, ECW IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA. THEY SEEM TO BE IN A HEATED DISCUSSION.

Sylvester Terkay: "Elijah, if you want to come out there tonight, that's fine, I just don't want you and J.J. messing up my match the way you did to each other last week"!

TERKAY WALKS AWAY AND ELIJAH BURKE FOLLOWS HIM AS J.J. RAMPLIN JUST LOOKS ON.

"I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD LEADING INTO CARLITO's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT TOSSING AN APPLE AND WEARING HIS YELLOW "SPIT OR SWALLOW" T-SHIRT.

J.R.: "One spot remains in the final four of the King of the Ring tournament and the winner of this match will go on to face Aldo Corleone at the Royal Rumble".

Lawler: "And judging by what Carlito had to say earlier, he thinks he can win this whole thing and should be expected to"!

THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" KICKS UP. BOOS FILL THE ARENA AS ELIJAH BURKE AND SYLVESTER TERKAY COME OUT THROUGH THE ECW ENTRANCE IN THE CROWD.

J.R.: "Here comes Sylvester Terkay, who Carlito referred to as the Mancub earlier, but this man has proven to be anything but in recent weeks, running roughshod through this tournament"!

Lawler: "And he's got that great equalizer in the Heart Punch and Carlito better be looking for that if he wants to get by the Manbear, not the Mancub"!

King of the Ring Tournament Semi-Finals

Carlito vs. Sylvester Terkay w/ Elijah Burke

Surprisingly, Carlito was willing to stand toe to toe with the excellent striker Terkay, but Terkay quickly took him down with a barrage of right hands and a kick to the back of the head. From a mount position, Terkay drove his MMA style gloves into the face of Carlito before pulling him up for a belly to belly suplex. Terkay was looking to make quick work of Carlito, but when he went for the triangle armbar, Carlito countered and pulled Terkay into a rollup for a near fall. Carlito backed up into a corner and Terkay charged in, only to be kicked in the face by Carlito. The southpaw then pounded the Manbear with left hands before connecting with a big DDT. Carlito then ran the ropes and went for a springboard back elbow but Terkay hit him with a forearm in the back of the head. Terkay then picked Carlito up for a backdrop suplex but Carlito flipped off, landing on his feet. That led to the Backcracker and Carlito covered Terkay for the 1...........2.........., but Terkay was up! Burke got up on the apron, trying to run some interference, but Carlito came over and drilled him with a left hand. Carlito then grabbed the apple he brought to the ring and took a huge bite out of it. But when he turned around, Terkay knocked him into the corner with a nasty kick to the head. That led to the Heart Punch and bits of apple went flying all over the ring as Carlito fell to the mat. Terkay got down and rolled him over, hooking the leg for the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:51

J.R.: "That Heart Punch is just debilitating folks, a very, very dangerous move and Terkay has joined Aldo Corleone in the Rampage finals"!

Lawler: "And what a final that sets up, J.R., the Manbear versus the Italian Bruiser..... should be great"!

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AS BURKE RAISED THE ARM OF TERKAY IN VICTORY AND THE CROWD RESPONDED WITH BOOS.

CAMERAS SHOW SEVERAL WEIGHTS AND A BENCHPRESS UP ON THE STAGE AS A VEHICLE PULLS OUT ONTO THE RAMP.

J.R.: "Well, King, I guess this is the Strongest Man competition".

Lawler: "And we all know that Mark Henry has been considered the World's Strongest Man for years, but if he can defeat Chris Masters in this competition, he gets to name any stipulation he wants for their World title match at the Royal Rumble"!

Todd Grisham: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Strongest Man competition. We have a dead lift, a benchpress, all kinds of events here. The first man to win three contests will be declared the winner!

SOME FANS CHEER, WHILE OTHERS BOO.

Grisham: "Let's bring out the participants, shall we? First, he is the reigning TWF World champion and without question, one of the strongest superstars we've ever seen in the TWF! He is the Masterpiece, Chris Masters"!

THE FANS BOO AS CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT POSING WITH THE WORLD TITLE.

Lawler: "This guy is a genetic freak, and he has the ability to defeat Mark Henry in this event"!

J.R.: "There is no questioning Chris Masters' physical ability, but you have to question the way he's achieved some of his success".

Grisham: "And his opponent, he is widely recognized as the World's Strongest man..... Mark Henry"!

"SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA HITS AND MARK HENRY STEPS OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

Lawler: "What Chris Masters has to realize is that Mark Henry has made a career on doing stuff like this"!

J.R.: "And it's not just any competition. If Henry wins, he can name any stipulation he wants for the Royal Rumble"!

Lawler: "There's a lot riding on this".

Grisham: "Okay, the first event will be the deadlift. Chris Masters, how much weight are you gonna try and lift".

Chris Masters: "I'm gonna go with five hundred pounds.... get it on there"!

MASTERS GRABS THE WEIGHT AND EASILY DEADLIFTS THE 500 POUNDS.

Lawler: "Wow, very impressive".

Grisham: "Okay, Mark Henry, to win this event, you must deadlift more than five hundred pounds, think you can do that"?

Henry: "I can almost double that! Nine hundred pounds"!

Lawler: "What"?!

J.R.: "Nine hundred pounds.... that's insane"!

AFTER THE WEIGHT IS SET, HENRY GRABS IT AND MANAGES TO DEADLIFT 900 POUNDS!

J.R.: "Oh my God..... that's freakish strength"!

Grisham: "Okay, Mark Henry leads one to zero and now we have the benchpress. Better start thinking a little bigger, champ. Okay, I'm told Chris Masters is going to try and bench five hundred pounds here and to win this event, you must have more total pounds than your opponent".

MASTERS LAYS DOWN ON THE BENCH AND GETS THE WEIGHT UP 10 TIMES.

Lawler: "That's incredible, that's five thousand pounds"!

J.R.: "Mark Henry will have to come up with something big to beat that"!

STICKING WITH THE 500 POUNDS, HENRY GETS ON THE BENCH AND GETS IT UP AN AMAZING 15 TIMES!

Lawler: "Wow, I think Chris Masters just realized what he's up against here.... he has no chance to win"!

J.R.: "That is inhuman! Unbelievable strength"!

Grisham: "Okay, one more event for Mark Henry and he wins this competition. What we're gonna do next involves this 1968 Dodge Charger. Now, the man who can lift the back end off the ground and hold it there the longest wins"!

AS THE MEN ARE WALKING TO THE CAR, MASTERS PULLS SOME SORT OF FOREIGN OBJECT OUT OF HIS BOOT AND HITS HENRY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT!

J.R.: "What the hell.... Masters has a piece of pipe or something"!

FROM THERE, MASTERS GRABS HENRY AND THROWS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE PASSENGER WINDOW OF THE CAR, BREAKING IT AND LACERATING HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Masters has lost it"!

MASTERS RIPS TODD GRISHAM's MIC FROM HIM.

Chris Masters: "Mark, in order for you to win this competition, you had to win three events and since you're not able to continue, that's not gonna happen! Ya see, you may be strong, but you sure are stupid! What you need to realize is that you are up against the best this business has to offer and strongest man in the world or not, you will not leave the Royal Rumble with my property"!

MASTERS TAKES ANOTHER SHOT AT HENRY, STOMPING ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD BEFORE HIS MUSIC HITS.

J.R.: "One final statement made by the Masterpiece before the Royal Rumble! Folks, we're outta time.... we'll see ya on Pay-Per-View"!

OFF AIR......
