"TO BE LOVED" BY PAPA ROACH STARTS UP AND LEADS INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO. THE PALACE COMES INTO THE SHOT AND THE SECOND THE PYRO DISPLAY CONCLUDES, "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON TO A TON OF BOOS.

Jim Ross: "Live on the USA network, it's TWF Rampage! We thank you for joining us tonight, wherever you are, and what a way to start this night, King"!

Jerry Lawler: "Can you believe we're about to see Money Mike take on John Cena.... right here on Rampage"?!

J.R.: "The last time we saw Money Mike and Cena in the same ring was at Code Red and we know Mike was left in the ring, staring into the rafters after a run-in with The Iceman, Chuck Liddell"!

"MY TIME IS NOW" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA STEPS OUT, SALUTING AS THE CROWD GREETS HIM WITH A VERY MIXED RESPONSE.

Lawler: "Well I know Money Mike hasn't forgotten about that, which is why he challenged John Cena to be here tonight"!

J.R.: "This is one of the biggest opening bouts we've ever had here on Rampage.... and it looks like they're not gonna waste any time"!

CENA GOT IN THE RING AND GOT RIGHT UP IN MONEY MIKE's FACE. MIKE SHOVED CENA, AND CENA SHOVED HIM BACK. AFTER ANOTHER VERBAL EXCHANGE, SOMEONE CAME OUT OF THE CROWD, JUMPED INTO THE RING AND HIT CENA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Lawler: "What the hell"?!

MONEY MIKE THEN GRABBED CENA AND DELIVERED THE "MONEY PIT". HE AND THE MAN STOOD OVER CENA AS A CAMERA MOVED IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK. THE MAN, WHO WAS WEARING A UFC T-SHIRT AND A BLACK SKULL CAP WAS CLEARLY TITO ORTIZ!

J.R.: "That's Tito Ortiz from the UFC"!

Lawler: "How big is this?! Money Mike has returned the favor with the Huntington Beach Bad Boy"!

"KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN AND MIKE RAISED THE ARM OF ORTIZ AS CENA STILL LAID ON THE MAT.

J.R.: "Well later tonight, UFC President Dana White is scheduled to join us via satellite and you can bet he'll address this situation! Folks, I don't know what to make of this"!

THE SHOT FADES OUT TO GO TO BREAK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR POWERBAR IS SHOWN FEATURING U.S. OLYMPIC SWIMMER MICHAEL PHELPS FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR E-TRADE.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK, TAZ IS IN THE BACK TAPING HIS HANDS WHEN JASON OLIVER COMES UP. TAZ JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD UPON SEEING HIM.

Taz: "I got a match tonight. What, you think you gonna give me some pointers or sumthin'"?

Jason Oliver: Hey, you're the one who got in my face at Code Red. You told me you didn't want my help, but I wanted to clarify something. Ever since you came to the TWF, I've wanted a match with you, because I can beat you. The reason I came out a few weeks ago to give you a hand was to make sure you didn't get hurt..... again. That's the.........

Taz: "Whoa, hold on. You want a match with me? (laughs) You're not in my league".

TAZ WALKS AWAY AND OLIVER IS CLEARLY UPSET.

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE JERRY LAWLER IS STANDING WITH A MICROPHONE.

Jerry Lawler: "Ladies and gentleman, as a treat to all of you, we have a special edition of the King's Court here tonight!

THE CROWD CHEERS.

Tonight, my guest is a man who has been involved in one controversy after another here in the TWF..... Chris Platoon"!

THE CROWD BOOS AS "FIREFLY" BY BREAKING BENJAMIN COMES ON AND PLATOON MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WEARING A T-SHIRT CONTAINING HIS LIKENESS AND BLUE JEANS. PLATOON STARES INTO THE CROWD BEFORE CLIMBING INTO THE RING.

J.R.: "Chris Platoon is sure to face some tough questions from my broadcast partner here after what we saw at Code Red".

Lawler: "Mr. Platoon, let's get right down to it. At Code Red, following a tough loss, you actually put your hands on a fan. Do you realize the kind of lawsuit you opened this company to"?

Chris Platoon: "King, that fan, as you call him, has been following me around like a madman. He's at every show and yeah, at Code Red, I lost my cool and beat his ass! I'd do it again if I had the chance".

Lawler: "Okay, well you just might.

LAWLER POINTS TO SOMEONE SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW. IT's THE SAME FAN, ONCE AGAIN.

There he is right now. You say he's been following you around like a madman. Hey, kid, you want to step in here for a minute?

THE FAN POINTS TO HIMSELF.

Yeah, you, get in here.

THE MAN JUMPS OVER THE GUARDRAIL AND GETS INTO THE RING.

Hey, the guy stands a chance to make millions off this company, let's give him a chance to be in the ring before he sues us! What's your name"?

Fan: "Troy.... Troy Gafgen".

Lawler: "Okay, well at Code Red, we saw Chris Platoon put his hands on you. Please, tell us you haven't contacted an attorney".

Gafgen: "No, no I haven't. Yeah, Chris did lose his cool at Code Red, but I'm a fan of this business and I'm a fan of his, so it's cool".

Lawler: "Really? So you forgive him? What makes you such a fan of this guy, cause I gotta say, you might be his only one, no offense, Chris".

Gafgen: "Really, the way he's battled back from being diagnosed with cancer. He kicked cancer's ass and got back into shape, so I think........

Chris Platoon: "I am so sick and tired of hearing that! Yeah, I had cancer, I don't anymore! But I want someone to recognize my world class abilities! I want someone to be my fan because of what I do in this ring and if you don't wipe that stupid smile off your face, you'll find that out first hand"!

Gafgen: "Ya know, Chris, you really need to lose the attitude. No one ever did anything to you, and you sure seem to play the victim well".

Platoon: "Are you kidding me"?

WITH THAT, PLATOON HITS GAFGEN WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES BUT GAFGEN DUCKS ANOTHER SWING AND DELIVERS A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! PLATOON ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS THE CROWD GOES WILD.

J.R.: "Oh my, that was a textbook german suplex! This kid says he's a fan, but maybe he's missing his calling"!

Lawler: "Can you believe that?! I bet Chris Platoon thinks twice before he ever gets into it with a fan again"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH EYE SPY AND CANDICE MICHELLE. ALEX SHELLEY IS PLAYING WITH HIS CAMCORDER.

Todd Grisham: "I am here with the current Rampage Tag Team champions, Eye Spy and..... that thing's not recording, is it"?

M.X. Ogden: "Don't worry about it. Did you see that steel cage hanging above the ring out there"?

Grisham: "Uh, yes I did".

Ogden: "That is where I will prove to the world that I can beat Bret Hart. The Hart Foundation wants to come in here and act like it's 1988 all over again! Well their success won't come at our expense! Bret, you may've gotten lucky at Code Red. But after I defeat you tonight in that cage, you and that big dummy that is your tag team partner are gonna realize your glory days were over a long, long time ago"!

Rob Van Dam vs. Elijah Burke

With WrestleMania and a date with J.J. Ramplin looming, RVD needed a big win to gain momentum heading in, but Burke had one thing on his mind, hurting Van Dam. After getting out of the way of a charging RVD, Burke watched him post his right shoulder before focusing on that same arm. After an armbar DDT, Burke went at the right arm like a shark smelling blood. Burke used all his weight while holding onto the ropes and standing on the arm. RVD got up, but Burke yanked at the arm and then threw it down over the top rope. Burke hit the ropes and delivered a big clothesline before setting RVD in the corner. He ran from the other side and grabbed the rope, getting incredible elevation before falling with an elbow but RVD was able to roll out of the way. Still favoring his arm, RVD connected with a jump kick to the jaw followed by a big heel kick. RVD then ran the ropes, looking for the Rolling Thunder but Burke got his knees up. He pulled RVD up and went for a DDT but RVD wisely grabbed the top rope to block it and Burke fell hard to the mat. Burke got to his feet and RVD threw a kick, but Burke caught his foot, only to have RVD connect with his step-over heel kick. After leaping to the top rope, which seemed to hurt the arm even more, RVD was still able to land the "5 Star Frogsplash" to get the 1........2.........3.

Match Time: 5:34

J.R.: "What a win for RVD! He came out of the rafters with that Five Star"!

Lawler: "Oh look out, there's J.J. Ramplin"!

J.J. RAMPLIN HIT THE RING AND NAILED RVD IN THE HEAD WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE. WHEN HE GOT UP, BURKE ROCKED HIM WITH A RIGHT CROSS BEFORE RAMPLIN SLAMMED THROUGH HIM WITH HIS BIG SPEAR.

J.R.: "Oh what a spear! He may've cracked some ribs with that one"!

Lawler: "RVD has gotten the win, but at what price"?!

"MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AND BURKE AND RAMPLIN LEFT THE RING TO A LOT OF BOOS AS RVD ROLLED AROUND ON THE MAT, STILL HOLDING THAT RIGHT ARM.

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR TACO BELL IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 9 FROM RELIANT STADIUM IN HOUSTON, TEXAS.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, A NATIVE AMERICAN WARCHANT LEADS INTO "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY" AND TED DIBIASE LEADS TATANKA DOWN THE RAMP AND TO THE RING.

J.R.: "We are back live on USA and later tonight, we will see who qualifies for the final spot in the WrestleMania Jackpot match but right now, we've got a match between two men who are already in it".

Lawler: "And one thing many people seem to forget is that there is only one man in the WrestleMania Jackpot match this year who has won it before and you're lookin' at him"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC COMES ON AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET AS CHRIS TIRPAK BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY TO THE RING THROUGH THE CROWD. HE IS CARRYING A KENDO STICK, AS USUAL.

J.R.: "Tatanka won the Jackpot a couple of years ago, but one of the guys who has to be considered a favorite to do that this year is the man making his way through that sea of humanity"!

Lawler: "I'd say Tatanka is the clear favorite because of what I just said, he's won it before".

Tatanka w/ Ted Dibiase vs. Chris Tirpak

Tirpak got into the ring and Tatanka got right on him with chops to the head and back. Tirpak got up but Tatanka picked him up for a backdrop suplex. After putting the boots to him, Tatanka shot him to the ropes but Tirpak avoided a backhand and drilled Tatanka with a clothesline. Tirpak then pulled Tatanka up, right into a big suplex. Tirpak then ran the ropes but Dibiase grabbed his right foot, nearly tripping him up. Referee Jose Mendez saw this and ordered Dibiase to the back, much to the delight of the fans. With his manager gone, Tatanka attacked Tirpak from behind with a double axe handle. He then got him to the mat, bringing the fight to him for the next 5 minutes. After a scoop slam, Tatanka went to the top rope and came flying off with a tomahawk chop. But Tirpak was able to get out of the way and after hitting the ropes, he kicked Tirpak right in the side of the head with a running boot. From there, Tirpak delivered the "Lights Out", hooking the leg for the 3 count and a huge win.

Match Time: 10:06

J.R.: "Well much like the signature move's name, it's lights out for Tatanka"!

Lawler: "Well that referee threw the Million Dollar Man outta here for nothin', and it cost Tatanka the match"!

"TNT" HIT AGAIN AND TIRPAK PLAYED TO THE CHEERING CROWD IN THE RING AS TATANKA LEFT, HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD.

J.R.: "For nothin'? King, you were watching the same match I was and without his manager out there to interfere, Tatanka found himself on the losing end of this one"!

Lawler: "Well someone might want to go tell Tirpak that this win will mean nothing if he can't duplicate it at WrestleMania"!

BACKSTAGE.......

J.J. RAMPLIN IS WALKING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN TODD GRISHAM COMES UP.

Grisham: J.J., you got a minute"?

J.J. Ramplin: "Make it quick".

Grisham: "Well we just saw you attack Rob Van Dam after his victory.... what kind of message are you trying to send"?

Ramplin: "Isn't it obvious? WrestleMania is right around the corner, and what have you heard about me? What has been said about J.J. Ramplin, one of the greatest King of Cable champions of all time? Nothing! All you hear about is Rob Van Dam! Well that pisses me off and after WrestleMania, RVD, you mark my words..... no one will be talking about you".

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

JEFF HARDY's MUSIC HITS AND A GOOD PORTION OF THE CROWD STANDS AND CHEERS AS HE GOES INTO HIS USUAL DANCE BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well we just saw two men who are already part of the WrestleMania Jackpot battle it out, but right now, we're about to hand out the final spot in that match"!

Lawler: "And it could be Jeff Hardy.... he is ready to go tonight, J.R."!

"THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER FROM THE CROWD.

J.R.: "And here's a guy we've been waiting for years to break out and a spot in the Jackpot match would give him the oppurtunity to do just that"!

Lawler: "This is gonna be the speed and the unpredictability of Jeff Hardy against the pure athleticism and mat ability of Matt Cruz"!

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Jeff Hardy vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz

After a quick handshake, Cruz and Hardy locked up. Cruz backed him into the corner but Jeff ducked an overhand right and got out. Cruz ran at him but Hardy countered with a quick arm drag followed by a dropkick. Jeff ran the ropes and took Cruz over the top with a clothesline before going for a suicide dive, but Cruz got out of the way. Jeff hit the floor very hard, landing on his back. Cruz picked him up and rolled him into the ring and from there, he targeted Hardy's lower back. After a double underhook into a backbreaker, Cruz locked in a bow and arrow. Jeff was being stretched badly, but he was able to swing his right foot to the bottom rope. Cruz got up and grabbed his legs, trying to set in the Colorado Cloverleaf. But Jeff was able to fight through it and pull Cruz into a small package which got him a 2 count. Both men got to their feet and Cruz missed with a wild right before Jeff connected with a sit down jawbreaker. Jeff quickly went to the top rope, grabbing at his lower back. He flew off with the Swanton Bomb, but he missed everything when Cruz rolled out of the way. Jeff immediately grabbed at his back and let out a yell and Cruz simply covered him, hooking both legs for the win.

Match Time: 4:43

J.R.: "And Matt Cruz has become the final man to qualify for the WrestleMania Jackpot, and Jeff Hardy may have been hurt badly here".

Lawler: "Well we talk about this all the time with him, J.R.! Jeff Hardy has that explosive style and when he hits one of those moves, he hits it big bit when he misses..... oh does it cost him"!

"THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYS AGAIN AND CRUZ LEAVES THE RING, HOLDING UP THE "HOOK EM HORNS" SIGN WITH HIS RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "Well give Matt Cruz credit for capitalizing on the situation and let's all just hope that Jeff Hardy can recover from this okay".

TWF Hall of Fame Class of 2008 Inductee- Jeff Jarrett

J-E-double F J-A-double R- E- double T, that's Double J, Jeff Jarrett. That was the way Jeff Jarrett would introduce himself to TWF fans, most of which he was never able to endear himself to, but those same fans could not deny the ability of Jarrett. Jarrett was one of the men who helped get the TWF off and running upon it's inception. Jarrett will always be remembered as the TWF's very first Intercontinental champion but he will be remembered more for his love and dedication to the professional wrestling business. We are proud to welcome Jeff Jarrett into the TWF Hall of Fame.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING. THE CROWD IS LOUDLY BOOING. ALSO IN THE RING IS A TABLE AND 2 CHAIRS.

J.R.: "So Jeff Jarrett is the latest man to be announced as an inductee into this year's Hall of Fame and what a class so far"!

Lawler: "Oh yeah, he joins Bret Hart and Trish Stratus and we understand there will be one more"!

J.R.: "That announcement will come on the next PrimeTime, so make sure you tune in for that".

Muhammad Hassan: "Your attention please.

THE CROWD BOOS AS HASSAN HOLDS UP A CLIPBOARD.

In my hand is the official contract for the TWF World title match at WrestleMania. Tonight, that contract will be signed by the competitors. Introducing first, he is the challenger...... Ken Kennedy"!

THE CROWD LET's OUT A HUGE POP AS KENNEDY COMES OUT, HEADING TO THE RING.

J.R.: "He may be an unlikely main event participant, King, but Mr. Kennedy is on his way to WrestleMania with a chance to win the biggest prize of all"!

Lawler: "This has been called the most unlikely main event in WrestleMania history, and that's exactly why I think it will be great"!

KENNEDY GETS INTO THE RING AND REACHES HIS HAND UP.

Hassan: "Put your hand down..... we're not doing the microphone thing tonight".

THE CROWD BOOS AND KENNEDY TURNS AND GIVES HASSAN A LONG, COLD STARE.

Lawler: "Well the crowd didn't like that".

Hassan: "And now.... he is the reigning TWF World champion.... ladies and gentlemen.... put your hands together for the Masterpiece..... Chris Masters"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS WHEN CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT POSING WITH THE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AS PYRO GOES OFF BEHIND HIM.

J.R.: "Chris Masters has held onto the TWF World title longer than anyone in history! Almost one year with that title, King"!

Lawler: "It's absolutely unbelievable what Chris Masters has done! He's really opened some eyes with this title reign and he's become the top dog around here"!

MASTERS GETS INTO THE RING AND TAKES A SEAT OPPOSITE KENNEDY. HASSAN SETS THE CLIPBOARD DOWN ON THE TABLE AND KENNEDY PULLS IT TOWARDS HIM, SIGNING IT WITHOUT EVER TAKING HIS EYES OFF MASTERS.

Lawler: "The challenger has signed".

MASTERS GETS THE CONTRACT AND LAUGHS A LITTLE BEFORE SIGNING IT. HE THEN HANDS IT BACK TO HASSAN, WHO HOLDS IT UP.

Hassan: "It is official! And now, if I were the two of you, I would start thinking about an opponent you would want your WrestleMania opponent to face if you could pick anyone. Because next week on Rampage, you will both compete in Pick your Poison matches"!

HASSAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE LEAVES THE RING. NOT FAR BEHIND HIM IS CHRIS MASTERS, WHO HOLDS HIS TITLE UP AS KENNEDY RISES FROM HIS SEAT, HIS EYES STILL FIXED ON THE MASTERPIECE.

J.R.: "The title match for WrestleMania is official, but what a bombshell dropped by the general manager"!

Lawler: "They can pick anyone! Oh this is gonna be good"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR UNITED AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR COORS LIGHT.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE THEME FROM THE GODFATHER MOVIES IS PLAYING AND ALDO CORLEONE STANDS IN THE RING.

"BEFORE I FORGET" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND TAZ IS OUT TO A BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and if you are just joining us, we are ready for a match that has slobberknocker written all over it"!

Lawler: "And if you're just tuning in, you missed Jason Oliver tell Taz to his face that he wants a match with him and that he came to his aid to make sure he didn't get hurt..... again".

J.R.: "It was Aldo Corleone who attacked Taz after a match with Rob Storm where Oliver came out to give him a hand, but Taz also told Oliver that he's not in his league".

Aldo Corleone vs. Taz

The bell sounded and the two men met in the center of the ring like two heavyweight boxers, slugging it out. Aldo seemed to have a little more behind his shots and he knocked Taz into the ropes. Off an irish whip, Aldo connected with a big back elbow before dropping a leg across his throat. Aldo made a pressing cover, but Taz pushed him off at 2. Aldo pulled Taz to his feet and shot him to the corner but Taz exploded out with a clothesline. He then picked the big Italian up and delivered an incredible belly to belly suplex. Taz tried to lock in the "Tazmission", but Aldo showed tremendous strength by getting up with him on his back and driving him into the corner. Aldo then picked Taz up with two hands by the throat before falling to the mat with a chokebomb. Aldo pounded Taz while on the mat, but when he pulled him up, Taz grabbed him around the neck and dumped him on his head with another suplex. Taz then beat his own chest, getting the crowd fired up. But when he went in for another suplex, Aldo nailed him on the top of the head with a forearm before catching him flush with the Mafia Kick. Aldo made the cover, but Taz got his right shoulder up at 2 and 7/8. Aldo pulled Taz into the corner and started to climb the ropes, but Taz got up and hit Aldo across the back with a forearm. Taz then brought the entire crowd out of their seats as he brought Aldo off the turnbuckle with a german suplex that shook the ring! Taz made his way over to Aldo and covered him, hooking a leg for the 1.........2.......3.

Match Time: 8:06

J.R.: "Can you believe that?! That was one of the damndest things I've ever seen"!

Lawler: "Yeah, Taz was out to........ wait, there's Jason Oliver"!

TAZ HAD HIS ARM RAISED BY REFEREE SCOTT MARTIN BUT HE TURNED RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM JASON OLIVER WHO GOT DOWN AND HAD SOME VERY DEROGATORY WORDS FOR TAZ BEFORE LEAVING THE RING TO A LOT OF BOOS.

J.R.: "Well I think you were just about to say that Taz was sending a message tonight, King, but what about that"?

Lawler: "Jason Oliver obviously took offense to what Taz said earlier and I don't blame him"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, CHRIS MASTERS HAS RAN INTO MARK HENRY.

Mark Henry: "Let me guess, you want me to face Kennedy next week".

Chris Masters: "You're my selection, and like it or not, you're contractually obligated to go out there".

Henry: "Do your dirty work for ya, huh? That's a role I'm familiar with. But this time, I'm doing it for me.... I ain't doin' nothin' for you".

HENRY WALKS AWAY BUT MASTERS STILL HAS HIS USUAL COCKY SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Sylvester Terkay vs. Charlie Haas

Charlie Haas tried to give Terkay as many problems as he could, utilizing his amatuer wrestling background, but once Terkay was able to create some seperation, he took over with his strikes. After a right cross caught Haas in the jaw, Terkay dropped him with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Terkay then lifted him up and got him in position for a Canadian backbreaker, but Haas slipped off his shoulders and delivered a big chop block. He then drilled Terkay with a big DDT before going to the outside of the ring and then to the top rope. When Terkay got to his feet, Haas flew off the top with a cross body but Terkay caught him with the Heart Punch in mid air. Haas hit the mat hard, grabbing at his chest as Terkay covered him for the win.

Match Time: 8:13

REFEREE JIM KORDERAS RAISED THE HAND OF SYLVETER TERKAY BEFORE HE LEFT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AND THE SHOT FADED OUT.

J.R.: "Folks, we are back live but what an explosion we had during the break.........

A REPLAY IS SHOWN OF THE VICTORIOUS SYLVESTER TERKAY COMING THROUGH THE CURTAIN INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, BUT SHORTLY AFTER, HE IS AMBUSHED BY CHAOS WOLF. AFTER THROWING A TRASH CAN AT HIM, WOLF PICKS UP AND NEARBY 2x4 AND BREAKS IT OVER TERKAY's HEAD. WITH A RUNNING START, WOLF THEN KICKS TERKAY IN THE CHEST, SENDING HIM SPRAWLING INTO A STACK OF WOODEN PALLETS.

THE SHOT GOES LIVE AND SHOWS SEAN O'HAIRE IN THE RING WITH LUYU DAWNSTAR AND CHINA ROSE. "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE IS PLAYING.

J.R.: "Chaos Wolf is from PrimeTime, what the heck is he doing here"?!

Lawler: "Well we know Sylvester Terkay will challenge him for that ECW World title at WrestleMania and what a fight that's gonna be"!

J.R.: "We also knew about this, the very strange Sean O'Haire has joined us, and he's not alone".

Sean O'Haire: "Tonight, I have something very special planned. One of you fans out there is gonna get lucky! So who's it gonna be"?!

SEVERAL FANS RAISE THEIR HANDS AS O'HAIRE SCANS THE CROWD.

J.R.: "What the hell is this about"?

O'HAIRE POINTS AT A YOUNG MAN IN THE 5TH ROW.

O'Haire: "You, in the white t-shirt, come on in here".

Lawler: "Twice in one night we've got a fan in a TWF ring"!

WITH THE HELP OF SECURITY, THE FAN GETS OVER THE GUARDRAIL AND INTO THE RING.

O'Haire: "What's your name, kid"?

Fan: "My name is Michael".

O'Haire: "Okay, Michael, how would you like to have some fun tonight"?

Michael: "Oh yeah, that'd be awesome".

O'Haire: "Yeah, you sound real convincing. Anyway, I have two of our very own TWF divas out here tonight, and I know they're ready for some fun! So go ahead, do whatever you want with them".

LUYU AND CHINA MOVE IN ON MICHAEL AND START FEELING HIM UP.

Michael: "Uh.... I can't do this..... I'm a happily married man".

O'Haire: "Yeah, I already caught onto that, I saw your wedding band. But that's just it, someone gets married and they've gotta stop having fun?! How long have you been married"?

Michael: "Almost nine years".

O'Haire: "And you're still a young guy, so you've thrown away a good part of your life and for what"?

J.R.: "This is startin' to go too far".

O'Haire: "Come on, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Girls, how 'bout some motivation"?

JUST THEN, LUYU AND CHINA GIVE EACH OTHER A KISS AND MICHAEL CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE, MAKING OUT WITH LUYU FIRST AND THEN CHINA.

Lawler: "There ya go! Live a little, Michael"!

J.R.: "Oh come on, King, just because you're not a happily married man! That was dispicable"!

MICHAEL, A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE, LEAVES THE RING AND TAKES HIS SEAT AGAIN AS "COME ON" PLAYS AGAIN AND O'HAIRE IS LAUGHING VERY HARD.

Lawler: "Oh, like you're one to talk, J.R.! You've been unhappily married, what, seven times"?!

J.R.: "Let's not talk about that, let's move onto something much more serious. I have just been informed that UFC President Dana White has joined us via satellite. Dana, are ya there"?

DANA WHITE IS SHOWN ON THE TWF TRON, WEARING A BLACK UFC T-SHIRT.

Dana White: "Yeah, I hear loud and clear, J.R.".

J.R.: "Well I gotta say, what we saw earlier tonight with Tito Ortiz was very unexpected".

Dana White: "Well let me start by saying what Tito did earlier tonight was not representative of the UFC in any way, shape or form. For those that follow UFC closely, they can tell you that Tito and I have butted heads for a number of years now. But, as a result of what happened earlier tonight, I have been on the phone with some of the head honchos in the TWF and we have come up with a monster match for WrestleMania".

Lawler: "Tell us, tell us what it is"!

White: "It's gonna be a tag team match in which Money Mike will team with Tito Ortiz to take on John Cena and Chuck Liddell! I can't wait for this one guys".

J.R.: "Well we can't either.... that's a huge announcement"!

Lawler: "And we understand that's not your only announcement"?

White: "That's right, King, I will be a special guest on the next TWF PrimeTime".

J.R.: "Well we'll be lookin' for ya, Dana. I know you're a busy man and you're pressed for time, so we'll let ya get back to the business at hand".

White: "Thanks for having me, guys".

Lawler: "Can you believe that"?

J.R.: "Some major announcements by the UFC president, and the card for WrestleMania 9 is really taking shape".

"99 Problems" the remix by Jay-Z and Linkin Park begins to play as promo graphics are shown for each match at WrestleMania.

Lawler: "Well we just heard about this one.... Money Mike will team with the Huntington Beach Bad Boy, Tito Ortiz to face John Cena and The Iceman, Chuck Liddell"!

J.R.: "And here's one that just became official, the Canadian Mustang, Jason Oliver will battle the street thug from Brooklyn, Taz"!

Lawler: "It is now an Extreme Rules match and it is for the ECW World title.... Sylvester Terkay tries to bring the belt back to ECW against Chaos Wolf"!

J.R.: "Will it be the last time we ever see the Nature Boy in the ring? Ric Flair puts it all on the line against Dustin Kash"!

Lawler: "It's the WrestleMania Jackpot and a guaranteed future title shot goes to the winner! Will it be Randy Orton, Axl Irvin, CM Punk, Matt Cruz, Chris Tirpak or Tatanka"?!

J.R.: "Here in a moment we will see M.X Ogden take on Bret Hart in a steel cage, but at WrestleMania, it will be Eye Spy against the Hart Foundation"!

Lawler: "The King of Cable title is up for grabs when J.J. Ramplin puts the gold on the line against the whole damn show.... RVD"!

J.R.: "The TWF Tag Team titles will also be on the line when Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels defend against the million dollar duo of JBL and PJ Cash"!

J.R.: "And what about the Universal title..... Joe Corey challenging the Rated R Superstar, Edge"!

J.R.: "And we just watched the official contract signing earlier tonight, Mr. Kennedy will challenge Chris Masters for the TWF World title! It all takes place live on pay-per-view from Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas"!

Grisham: "Kennedy, we know that Chris Masters has selected Mark Henry for you to face in the Pick your Poison match next week. Any chance we can get your pick"?

Mr. Kennedy: "Do I look like an idiot, Todd? Do I have stupid written on my forehead? The whole point of the Pick your Poison matches is to have a psychological advantage over your opponent. The fact that Chris Masters has already made his opponent for me public knowlegde shows just how brainless he really is. And that's how I'm gonna beat him at WrestleMania. Does that answer your question"?

KENNEDY WALKS OUT OF THE SHOT, WHICH FADES OUT.

"All Around Me" by Flyleaf hits and the crowd comes to their feet in anticipation. The crowd is split between cheering and booing, as M.X. Ogden comes out with his Tag Team Gold wrapped around his neck like a necklace. Ogden makes his way to the ring and grabs a microphone...

M.X. Ogden: "I don't got much time, so I'ma cut right to the chase. Tonight, I've requested to face Bret Hart in a rematch from Code Red. Except this time, it's gonna be in one of the most brutal matches in the TWF, a Steel Cage Match. Now you could make up whatever theory you want, maybe that I wanna end his career, or that I want to break his weak bones in this unforgiving steel cage".

The crowd begins a strong boo, but is interrupted by.

M.X. Ogden: Wrong! I challenged him to this match because I want to face him one on one with no interferences from either side. That means Alex Shelley and Candice Michelle... Bye, bye! That means Jim "I'm a Fat Freak" Anvil... See ya next week! Why, though? Well, it's quit simple. Do you know why? You.. Yeah, kid in the front row who is clearly a virgin until he turns thirty-seven when he loses it to his mom!

The crowd lets out a collective laugh, but the kid shakes his head and begins pouting in his hands.

M.X. Ogden: "And that, ladies and gentlemen, just boosted it up to forty-two. Anyways, back on topic... I wanted this match because I want to prove something. I want to prove that M.X. Ogden is not just about taking the best of the best to the limit, which I have done every chance I've had, but that he can win also. I beat Joe Corey, I beat John Cena, I beat Strife, Rey Mysterio, Viscera... The biggest, the best, and the fastest, I've beaten 'em! And now, it's time to take out a legend... Bret.. Hart. So, Bret, I know you're getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, but before that... You have to do one last thing. It's not win at Wrestlemania, it's not "make it to Wrestlemania!" like you know all these cliche wrestlers will tell their opponent to try and do... It's to look me dead in the eyes tonight after our match, and shake my hand. No matter who wins, no matter how long or short of a match, just do me that one thing. Because tonight isn't about pranks, it isn't about videos, and it isn't about this Tag Team Title! It's about more than that. It's about the most important thing in the world... Respect. And that, Bret... That's a damn fact"!

OGDEN DROPS THE MIC AS BRET HART's MUSIC STRIKES UP AND HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN TO THE RING TO A HUGE CHEER.

J.R.: "Ogden is ready.... but is he ready for the Hitman"?!

Lawler: "Well Bret Hart did win the match at Code Red, but how long has it been since he was inside a steel cage? I don't like this situation for Bret Hart".

J.R.: "Well there's no Candice Michelle, there's no Alex Shelley and there's no Jim Niedhart. Tonight, it's mano y mano".

Steel Cage Match

M.X. Ogden vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart

The crowd was buzzing as Hart and Ogden locked up. Ogden whipped Hart to the mat with an arm drag before pulling him back up by his hair. Bret fought back with a couple jabs to the abdomen before sending Ogden into the steel wall. After a couple kicks to the stomach, Bret picked Ogden up and delivered a side backbreaker across the knee. He then went to the middle turnbuckle, but Ogden popped up and grabbed Bret by the back of the head, pulling him down across the top rope. Ogden then went to the top rope, flying off with a legdrop across the back of the head. Ogden began to scale the cage wall, trying to climb out. Ogden was about halfway up when Hart got to his feet and got on the top ring rope, grabbing Ogden's right foot and pulling him to the mat. Hart fell with the momentum as well, and both men were down. Hart and Ogden got to their feet simultaneously, but Bret beat him to the punch. He then tried to throw him into the steel cage, but Ogden blocked it with his foot and came back with a side russian leg sweep. Ogden yelled at referee Jose Mendez, who was outside the ring, to open the cage door. Mendez opened it, but Hart came from behind and delivered a backdrop suplex. After a stomp to the abdomen, Bret tried to turn Ogden over in the Sharpshooter, but Ogden kicked his way free and then caught Bret with a DDT. Both men were down and feeling the effects of the match, but Ogden crawled to the corner and went up the turnbuckle, slowly getting out of the cage. As Ogden got over one side of the cage, Hart crawled to the cage door. The crowd knew it was a race to see who would get out first, and just as Bret stuck his head out the door, Ogden came down the cage wall and kicked the door right into his head! Ogden then dropped the remainder of the way to the floor and the bell sounded.

Match Time: 5:55

Lawler: "Yes! Ogden said he was gonna do it.... and he did it"!

J.R.: "A huge win for M.X. Ogden, he has outlasted the Hitman inside the steel cage, but now, Bret is back in the ring".

AS "ALL AROUND ME" PLAYED AGAIN AS OGDEN HAD HIS HAND RAISED AMIDST PLENTY OF BOOS. HART CAME BACK INTO THE RING AND STOOD IN FRONT OF OGDEN BEFORE EXTENDING HIS HAND. OGDEN WENT TO SHAKE IT, BUT INSTEAD HE TURNED AND CRACKED HART WITH A RIGHT HAND! THE FANS WERE INCENSED AS OGDEN LEFT THE RING, LEAVING HART HOLDING HIS JAW ON THE MAT.

J.R.: "You talk about respect! I've never seen a punk kid who needs a lesson in that department more than this guy"!

Lawler: "I love it! Bret Hart came in to give Ogden what he asked for, and he turned him down! (laughs) Serves him right"!
