THE SHOT OPENS UP INSIDE THE PEPSI CENTER IN DENVER, WHICH IS JAM PACKED FULL OF THOUSANDS OF LOUD TWF FANS.

"THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP TO START THE SHOW.

Jim Ross: "The countdown to MeltDown is on and the clock is ticking faster and faster as we are in the Mile High city"!

Jerry Lawler: "And we are being joined right now by the longest reigning King of Cable champion in history, J.R., take a look at this belt"!

CAMERAS GO TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WHERE J.R. AND THE KING ARE SEATED NEXT TO J.J. RAMPLIN. THE KING OF CABLE TITLE RESTS ON THE TABLE.

J.R.: "Welcome to the broadcast Mr. Ramplin, it's a pleasure to have you here as we get a look at the man you will defend that title against at MeltDown".

J.J. Ramplin: "I wish I could say it was a pleasure to be here, but I will enjoy watching Trevor Murdoch rough up my MeltDown opponent, not that I'm gonna need much help".

AXL IRVIN CLIMBS INTO THE RING, OPPOSITE HIS OPPONENT, TREVOR MURDOCH.

J.R.: "There is no doubting the toughness or abilities of Trevor Murdoch, but I gotta say, I haven't seen Axl Irvin as focused as he is right now in a long time. I'd advise against being........

Lawler: "Don't give the champ advice, J.R., he's held that title for what.....

Ramplin: "Nearly one full year, but who's counting"?

Axl Irvin vs. Trevor Murdoch

Murdoch struck Axl right as the bell sounded with a kick to the lower abdomen before hammering him with a couple clubbing shots to the back. After shooting Axl off the ropes, Murdoch missed with a clothesline and Irvin came off the other side with a big forearm to the face. Axl knocked Murdoch into the corner with 2 more right hands before pulling him out with a nice suplex. Axl then showed a very aggressive side, ramming the back of Murdoch's head into mat multiple times. Axl went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with an axe handle, but Murdoch punched him in the gut and then delivered a perfect bulldog takedown. Murdoch made a cover, hooking the leg, but Axl pushed him off at 2. Murdoch pulled him up and picked him up for a backdrop suplex but Axl flipped off his shoulders, landing on his feet. Murdoch threw a clothesline but missed everything and Axl connected with the "Axl Cutter" to bring a sudden close to the match.

Match Time: 4:29

J.R.: "Oh it's over! Just like that, Axl Irvin has won it"!

AXL BACKED OVER TO THE RING ROPES AND FLIPPED OVER THEM, LANDING ON THE FLOOR.

Lawler: "Oh look out"!

SUDDENLY, AXL TURNED AND FLEW OVER THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, LANDING ON RAMPLIN. HE GOT SEVERAL GOOD SHOTS IN WHILE RAMPLIN WAS DOING HIS BEST JUST TO DEFEND HIMSELF. OFFICIALS RAN OUT FROM THE BACK TO SEPERATE THE TWO, BUT IT WAS ONLY FOR A BRIEF TIME THAT THEY DID. RAMPLIN AND IRVIN BROKE FREE AND EXCHANGED MORE PUNCHES AS THE CROWD WAS LOVING IT. MORE OFFICIALS AND SOME REFEREES POURED OUT FROM THE BACK TO PULL THE MEN APART AGAIN.

Lawler: "This thing is ready to explode, J.R.! They're all over each other"!

J.R.: "There is much more on the line here than the King of Cable title..... these two men are developing a real dislike for one another"!

Lawler: "We're off to a huge start tonight"!

J.R.: "And there's much more to come....... don't go away"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR SUBWAY IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR MELTDOWN FEATURING SHAWN MICHAELS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL DEFENDING THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES AGAINST THE UNITED NATIONS.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE COMES BACK, "PATH" BY APOCALYPTICA COMES ON AND CHINA ROSE SAUNTERS DOWN THE RAMP WITH THE TWF WOMEN's CHAMPION LUYU DAWNSTAR. THE WOMEN ARE HOLDING HANDS AND LUYU HAS THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST.

J.R.: "We are back live on Rampage here on USA and divas action is next on the slate, King".

Lawler: "And you know better than anyone how much I love the divas, J.R."!

MELINA's THEME COMES ON AND SHE COMES DOWN OUT WITH A VERY IRRITATED LOOK ON HER FACE. SHE IS SURPRISINGLY CHEERED BY A MAJORITY OF THE FANS THOUGH.

J.R.: "It was on the last Rampage where we saw Luyu and China Rose attack Melina in the back for..... well for no reason really".

Lawler: "Well I'm sure Luyu and China had a reason, you'd just have to ask them".

China Rose w/ Luyu Dawnstar vs. Melina

China attacked Melina before the bell rang and she was all over her despite warnings from referee Jack Doan. China pulled Melina's hair but Melina pulled back as both ladies let out screams. Melina was able to fling China to the mat by her hair before kicking her right in the back of the head. China got to her feet, but Melina was right on her with kicks and punches to the body. After shooting her to the corner, Melina ran in but China got a foot up right in her face before exploding out with a big clothesline. From there, China mounted Melina and angrily slapped her several times across the face. She then pulled her up by the hair and tried for a DDT but Melina blocked it and countered into a northern lights suplex to get a 1...............2.........., but China kicked out. Both ladies got to their feet and Melina charged in but China lowbridged her by pulling down the top rope and Melina went sailing to the floor. As China pulled Doan away from the action, Luyu Dawnstar went after Melina. She threw a right hand but Melina blocked it and kicked her in the midsection before ramming her face first into the announce table! Melina then climbed onto the apron and drove a shoulder into the abdomen of China before shooting herself over the top rope into a sunset flip. She tried desperately to try and pull Rose over, but China finally sat down on Melina and Luyu recovered, grabbing both of China's hands which Doan never saw as he made the 3 count.

Match Time: 6:24

Lawler: "That's it..... China Rose wins it"!

J.R.: "No, China Rose steals it"!

MELINA COMPLAINED TO DOAN AS "PATH" PLAYED AGAIN AND ROSE AND DAWNSTAR LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS, WHICH DIDN'T BOTHER THEM IN THE SLIGHTEST.

Lawler: "Well maybe Melina should think about taking Luyu and China up on their offer now"!

J.R.: "I hate to crush your dreams, King, but I doubt that's gonna happen"!

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

CHRIS TIRPAK IS IN THE BACK TALKING WITH LENNY ARMSTEAD.

Chris Tirpak: "Yeah, I mean, I'd love to see you beat him tonight..... no one can stand Hassan, dude".

JUST THEN, RANDY ORTON COMES UP.

Randy Orton: "Ah, just the man I've been looking for, Mr. Jackpot himself. Tirpak..... I hope you didn't think that hitting me over the head with your little kendo stick a few weeks was just gonna blow over. So I don't care about your little briefcase, everyone knows you're scared to try to cash it in anyway. What I want is a match..... tonight"!

Tirpak: "Really? All you had to do was ask, Randy..... I'll see you out there".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE TWO UNKNOWN SUPERSTARS ARE AWAITING THEIR OPPONENTS.

J.R.: "So it looks like we're gonna get a match between Orton and Tirpak tonight, King".

"DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY TUPAC IS HEARD AND KELLY LEADS OUT AUSTIN PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE, WHO ARE DRESSED VERY SIMILAR TO GENEXT.

Lawler: "What the heck is this"?

PYROMANIA IS DRESSED LIKE M.X. OGDEN WHILE TAYLOR MADE LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE JASON OLIVER. KELLY IS WEARING A BALTIMORE RAVENS CHEERLEADER's OUTFIT.

J.R. (laughing): "I don't quite know what to make of this, King, but it looks like Pyromania and Taylor Made are having fun as always"!

Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made w/ Kelly vs. Von Dusen and Evan Noble (invitees)

Pyromania and Taylor stepped in against two local independent wrestlers looking to make a name for themselves. Von Dusen and Noble caught Pyro and Taylor off guard, attacking them before the bell as they played to the crowd. After knocking both men out of the ring with in stereo clotheslines, Von Dusen let Noble use his body as a launching pad to go flying over the top rope with a suicide dive. But both Pyro and Taylor got out of the way and he hit the floor hard. Pyromania then dove into the ring and Von Dusen put the boots to him. But after getting to his feet and blocking a right hand, Pyromania dropped Von Dusen with a right hand of his own. Taylor made the tag and after Pyro shot Von Dusen off the ropes, Taylor sprung into the air with a flying back elbow that connected with Von Dusen's jaw. After a nice backdrop suplex, Taylor slapped the hand of Pyromania who went to the top rope and flew off with a Phoenix splash, landing hard on Von Dusen. He covered him but Noble was able to return to the ring to break up the 3 count. Taylor came in but Noble caught him with a flying calf kick right across the face. Von Dusen got up and he and Noble sent Pyromania to the ropes, delivering a double backbod drop. Referee Jose Mendez finally stepped in and forced Von Dusen to the corner, making Noble the legal man. Noble pulled Pyro up but Pyro reversed an irish whip and used a drop toehold before running over and clobbering Von Dusen with a right hand. Taylor Made then tagged back into the match and with Noble focused on Pyro, Taylor pulled him to the mat from behind with the "Customizer". But instead of going for the cover, Taylor wanted to add insult to injury, and he did, using Jason Oliver's "Claymore" to get the 3 count.

Match Time: 5:22

Lawler: "Come on, this is ridiculous".

J.R.: "You seem to be the only one not enjoying it, King"!

Lawler: "What, now they wanna talk"?!

PYROMANIA ASKS LILIAN GARCIA FOR HER MICROPHONE AND SHE HANDS IT TO HIM, THROUGH THE RING ROPES. AN ADDITIONAL MIC IS GIVEN TO TAYLOR MADE BY THE TIMEKEEPER AS KELLY COMES INTO THE RING AND STARTS PERFORMING CHEERS, AS IF SHE WERE AT A FOOTBALL GAME.

Austin Pyromania: "So, what'd you guys think? Am I worthy of a title shot now?! How much longer can you keep denying me"!

Taylor Made: "Dude, calm down, alright. You're gonna have to wait as long as I'm around, because let's face it, Max, I'm way more deserving of a title shot than you".

Pyromania: "Jason, we've been over this too many times...... it's M.X., not Max"!

Taylor Made: "Whoa, what's up with your girl, man"?

Pyromania: "Stacy..... what are you doimg"?

TAYLOR GOES OVER TO KELLY AND HANDS HER HIS MIC.

Kelly: "Pshh, obviously, I'm doing what I do best...... dancing! I mean, the tv networks realized I didn't have any talent and I'm starting to wonder if Candice is even more talented than me. I mean, the only reason I'm even in the wrestling business is because I won some cheap dance contest on a wrestling show nobody remembers"?

Pyromania: "SlaughterHouse"?

Taylor: "No, Max, the other one, duh. Anyway, we've gotta get ready for these guys we face at MeltDown. I think they're gonna kick our ass dude".

THE LAUGHS OF THE AUDIENCE TURN TO BOOS WHEN M.X. OGDEN, JASON OLIVER AND STACY KEIBLER APPEAR ON THE STAGE.

M.X. Ogden: "That'll be enough of that crap! Are you two kidding? The first chance you get to be on tv and not on Uprising, you pull this"?

Jason Oliver: "Really guys, you making fun of us, is like Jose Canseco talking trash about A-Rod..... it's a joke".

Stacy Keibler: "Kelly, hah, you are pathetic! And if you say one more word about me, I'm gonna come down there and stick those pom-poms somewhere not even all the boys in the back have seen"!

TAYLOR CLEARLY DOESN'T LIKE THAT COMMENT, AND TRIES TO LEAVE THE RING BUT PYROMANIA HOLDS HIM BACK.

Ogden: "Get real fellas, you don't want this. Only at MeltDown, you have no choice. At MeltDown, we're gonna add another footnote to your increasingly insignificant careers"!

OGDEN TOSSES THE MIC ON THE RAMP AS "STRAIGHT TO VIDEO" BY MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE PLAYS.

J.R.: "Party poopers".

Lawler: "Say what you want, J.R., but those two had no right coming out here and acting like that. And Kelly, I've always expected much more out of her. All these two did was add to the beating they're gonna receive come MeltDown"!

J.R.: "Well clearly, Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made have zero respect for the members of GeNext, but at MeltDown, all four of these men will have to put their money where their mouths are"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK..........

A COMMERCIAL FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE IS SHOWN ALONG WITH ONE FOR VERIZON WIRELESS FEATURING V-CAST.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS IN THE BACK WITH ROB VAN DAM.

Todd Grisham: "With me at this time is none other than Rob Van Dam, and Rob, tonight, Money Mike will face Chris Masters in the main event. You will be involved in a fatal four way for the World title at MeltDown. What do you think of these two going at it tonight"?

Rob Van Dam: "Well Todd, if I'm being honest, I hope that Money Mike and Chris Masters beat the holy hell out of each other. There would be nothing better than...........

VAN DAM STOPS WHEN HE SEES SOMEONE APPROACHING, AND MR. KENNEDY COMES INTO THE SHOT.

Mr. Kennedy: "Than what? Than those two beating the heck out of each other..... maming each other in order to make your chances at MeltDown that much better? In order to make things that much easier for you? See Rob, I'm technically the number one contender. What business do you have in this match? The company wants you in there because the people chant your name when you come out? Well at MeltDown, the only name that will be heard around that arena will be that of Misterrrrrr Kennedyyyyyyyyy........... Kenne...........

Rob Van Dam: "R-----V-------D".

VAN DAM WALKS AWAY AND KENNEDY IS LESS THAN THRILLED AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

"VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND RANDY ORTON STEPS OUT TO MASSIVE BOOING.

J.R.: "That big match between Money Mike and Chris Masters is gonna close the show out tonight, King, but what a big match we've got here".

Lawler: "Well I know I'm not the only one who remembers Chris Tirpak smashing a kendo stick over Randy Orton's head very well and now, Orton is ready to exact a little revenge"!

"TNT" BY AC/DC COMES ON AND A SPOTLIGHT BEGINS TO SEARCH THE STANDS BEFORE FINDING CHRIS TIRPAK AMID OF GROUP OF ROWDY TWF FANS, COMING TO THE RING WITH HIS KENDO STICK IN ONE HAND AND THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE IN THE OTHER.

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak possesses that WrestleMania Jackpot which Randy Orton accused him of being afraid to use earlier tonight".

Lawler: "He is afraid to use it"!

J.R.: "And how do you figure that? Because he hasn't yet? He has until WrestleMania next year to use it, King, it's called strategy".

Lawler: "Well let's see what kind of strategy he has here against Orton, especially after that kendo stick comes out of his hand"!

Randy Orton vs. Chris Tirpak

As Tirpak placed his kendo stick and briefcase in the corner, Orton attacked him from behind with a shot to the back. Tirpak fired a punch back but Orton was ready and after a big kneelift, he smashed Tirpak with a european uppercut. After shooting him to the ropes, Orton connected with a very pretty dropkick, right on the money. Orton then trash talked Tirpak a little before trying to rile up the crowd and they were all over him. Orton made his way back to Tirpak, but the New Jersey native punched him in the gut and then grabbed the front of his tights, flinging him into the corner. Orton turned around but Tirpak was all over him with right hands and a kick that put him down in the corner. This was the same corner where the briefcase sat, and Orton grabbed it, taking a swing with it, but Tirpak ducked and lifted him up for the "Lights Out". But as he swung Orton around, Orton's foot hit referee Jim Korderas in the head, knocking him to the mat. Orton then escaped Tirpak's clutches and put him down with a DDT, right on the metal briefcase! Korderas got up and noticed Orton on top of Tirpak before pounding the mat 3 times to give Orton the match.

Match Time: 4:06

J.R.: "Well I'll be damned...... Orton used Tirpak's own briefcase to beat him"!

Lawler: "The very one that he's afraid to use! Ya know, J.R., if he'd just try to cash in on that, it wouldn't be there for his opponent to use"!

"VOICES" PLAYED AGAIN AS ORTON LEFT WITH HIS ARMS RAISED AND A BIG GRIN ON HIS FACE. IN THE RING, TIRPAK SLOWLY PULLED HIMSELF UP, GRABBING HIS BRIEFCASE.

J.R.: (sarcastically) "Yeah, this is a win I'd really be proud of if I was Orton! Hell, why don't we just give him a title shot"!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

SEAN O'HAIRE IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM WHEN SEBASTIAN CAIN BURSTS IN.

Sebastian Cain: "There you are..... I gotta go, it's my sister".

Sean O'Haire: "Go? Go where"?

Cain: "The family wants me to fly home...... tonight".

O'Haire: "Ohhhhh, I get it, and just leave me to fend for myself tonight, right? I have a match, and I need you in my corner. Plus, you've got the biggest match of your young career to get ready for coming up at MeltDown. Ya can't leave. Besides, I was planning on hittin' the town, goin' down to LoDo here in Denver with some of the boys, ya know, gettin' some drinks.

O'HAIRE SLAPS CAIN ON THE BACK.

I'll see a out there".

O'HAIRE LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AND CAIN IS IN DISBELIEF.

BACK AT RINGSIDE AN ARABIC CHANT BRINGS UP THE ENTRANCE THEME OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN, AND HE COMES OUT TO THE MOST HEAT OF THE ENTIRE NIGHT. HE IS WEARING A WHITE HEADDRESS. LENNY ARMSTEAD AWAITS IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Well here we go, the one time general manager of Rampage is ready to do what he came to the TWF to do, be a wrestler".

Lawler: "What do you mean one time, J.R.? Hassan is just on probation and as much as I don't like him, that's a fact".

J.R.: "He has been put into a match at MeltDown with Travis Wakeman, the Technical Magician, by Rowdy Roddy Piper, the interim GM of Rampage and after the interview we heard with Wakeman on the last Rampage, I can't imagine Hassan wanting any part of that".

Lawler: "After that interview, who knows if Wakeman will even be at MeltDown, who knows if he'll ever wrestle again! I mean, I'm sure he will, but he's a complete wild card right now..... no one knows what to expect"!

Muhammad Hassan vs. Lenny Armstead

The bell sounded to start the match and the crowd halted their boos, very surprised to see that Hassan exhibited no ring rust. He easily took Armstead to the mat with an arm drag before driving his knee into his back multiple times. Hassan showed a real vicious side as he clubbed Armstead across the face before using the sole of his boot to rake his face. After spitting right on Armstead, Hassan pulled him up but Armstead had a fire lit inside him, flinging Hassan's arms out before popping him with 2 hard forearms. He then began to use his strongest weapon- his feet- to take the fight to Hassan. After a perfect hurricanrana, Armstead went to the top rope and flew off with a missile dropkick, but Hassan moved out of the way. Hassan then picked Armstead up and dropped him right across his knee with a backbreaker. From there, he grabbed Armstead by the hair and made a throat-slash gesture across Armstead's neck, something that really fired the crowd up. But the Camel Clutch was locked on tight, and Hassan pulled on it harder and harder like a madman. Finally, referee Scott Martin called for the bell to stop the match and Hassan threw Armstead face first into the mat.

Match Time: 5:38

Lawler: "Like him or not, and just about everybody doesn't, but Muhammad Hassan hasn't missed a beat, J.R."!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, there's Wakeman"!

TRAVIS WAKEMAN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK IN A PAIR OF LOOSE FITTING BLUE JEANS AND A WHITE DENVER NUGGETS #15 JERSEY TO A MAJOR POP, THE BIGGEST OF THE NIGHT. HE IS CARRYING A MICROPHONE.

Lawler: "Colorado's own"!

WAKEMAN IS APPLAUDING AS HE APPROACHES THE RING.

Travis Wakeman: "Impressive, very impressive, Muhammad, if that is your real name".

HASSAN IS HANDED A MICROPHONE.

Muhammad Hassan: "What the hell do you want? Just had to come out here and get that hometown welcome, didn't you?! See, guys like you ruin this business! You're all a bunch of damn glory hounds and me, I just want........

Wakeman: "Whoa, just stop right there.

WAKEMAN GETS ONTO THE APRON AND CLIMBS THROUGH THE ROPES.

I don't think anyone wants to here that tired story of how you are discriminated against because you're Arab-American or how people look at you as a terrorist. Let me make one thing clear, they don't look at you as a terrorist, they look at you like a piece of sh*t"!

Lawler: "Wow".

Hassan: "Shut up! You shut up right now! I'm not gonna let you do this, Wakeman. I saw your stupid little interview and I don't know what you we're trying to accomplish, but let me make it very clear right now, this minute, that I am not scared of you"!

Wakeman: "Great, then you'll agree that these people don't want to wait until MeltDown to see this, so there's no reason we can't do this right now".

WAKEMAN REMOVES HIS JERSEY AND THE CROWD POPS VERY LOUD BUT AS THEY DO, HASSAN BACKS OUT OF THE RING.

Hassan: "No, no, like I just said, I'm not gonna let you do this tonight in your little hometown. No, you're gonna wait! I don't want any excuses, like the fact that you're wearing a pair of Silvertabs instead of your gear! No, I want you at your best...... at MeltDown"!

HASSAN DROPS THE MIC AND BACKS UP THE RAMP TOWARDS THE BACK. IN THE RING, WAKEMAN BEGINS TO LAUGH, ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY.

J.R.: "So we go to MeltDown with this, and Hassan says he wants Wakeman to bring his A game"!

Lawler: "He might later regret that, but look at Wakeman....... he's getting a huge kick out of this"!

J.R.: "Like you said earlier, King, he's the wild card of the TWF right now....... and that doesn't bode well for anyone in my opinion! We'll be right back"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR GILLETTE BODY WASH IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR McDONALD's.

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, CHRIS MASTERS IS SHOWN WITH EDDIE SAINT JAMES IN THE BACK.

Eddie Saint James: "Are you sure? I really wanted to get some shots in tonight".

Chris Masters: "Yeah, back off the original plan. I want the world to know that I can beat Money Mike..... by myself".

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CARLITO IS SHOWN WALKING AND HE TAKES A BIG BITE OF AN APPLE BEFORE APPROACHING TODD GRISHAM.

Todd Grisham: "Uh, Carlito, what are.......

Carlito (chewing on the apple): "Todd Grisham.... I know Matt Cruz is at home, supposedly contemplating retirement, but Cruz, if you have any balls at all, you'll show up to face me in a match at MeltDown! When I slapped you across the face, I walked right up to you and did it! When you came out later in the night, you attacked me from behind! Let's see what happens when I'm ready for it"!

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE COMES ON AND SEAN O'HAIRE COMES OUT ALONG WITH SEBASTIAN CAIN TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.

J.R.: "Ya know, correct me if I'm wrong, King, but I don't remember Sebastian Cain ever demanding Sean O'Haire be at ringside for one of his matches".

Lawler: "What you're not understanding is that this is a teacher-student thing, J.R., Sebastian Cain's not gonna demand anything out of Sean O'Haire"!

J.R.: "Well in case you didn't catch it, his sister is having personal problems, of which we know nothing about, and Sebastian would like to be there to help her! Call me crazy, but where I come from, family comes first"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN "OUT OF MY WAY" BY SEETHER HITS AND DYLAN JANSENS COMES OUT AS A FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON.

Lawler: "I'm sure whatever his sister is going through is minor. Sean O'Haire is trying to get him to focus on his career and the biggest match of that young career at MeltDown".

J.R.: "Minor? Who are you to call it minor? Besides, one of his opponents at MeltDown is O'Haire! O'Haire wants to be looked at as some sort of mentor to Cain, but I see him as someone with a hidden agenda"!

Lawler: "Well you eluded to it, J.R., and at MeltDown, the three of these men will be involved in a triple threat match that will determine a new number one contender for the King of Cable title! Tonight, it's one on one"!

Sean O'Haire w/ Sebastian Cain vs. Dylan Jansens

The bell sounded to start the match and O'Haire quickly found himself on the receiving end of a deep arm drag. He got back up and threw a clothesline but Jansens ducked and drilled him with a jumping back kick to the jaw. After running the ropes, Jansens scored with a quick legdrop but a cover could only get him a 2 count. Jansens pulled him up and went for a suplex but O'Haire blocked it and after a jab to the ribs to create seperation, O'Haire hit him with 2 hard forearms to the face. He then shot Jansens to the ropes and took him out with a roundhouse kick to the face that impressed even the fans booing O'Haire. After pulling Jansens up, O'Haire drove him into the mat with a quick snap swinging neckbreaker. He then went to the top rope, but he took a little too much time getting up there, missing everything when he went for the Sean-Ton Bomb. Jansens slowly got to his feet and pumped both fists to get the crowd into it. After two stinging right hands, he whipped O'Haire to the ropes but he dropped his head a little too soon and O'Haire kicked him right in the face. But after ducking a spinning heel kick, Jansens lifted O'Haire up and planted him with a flapjack. Jansens was ready to finish it, but he noticed Sebastian Cain on the apron, and he went over, dropping him with a right hand. However, when he turned around, O'Haire was in a crouched position and he sprung up, using his unusual power to get Jansens on his shoulders, dropping him with the "Widowmaker" to get the 1..........2.........3.

Match Time: 4:50

Lawler: "He got him! Sean O'Haire wins it"!

J.R.: "Boy, he's getting exactly what he wants out of this kid, isn't he"?!

Lawler: "What do you mean by that"?

"COME ON" PLAYED AGAIN AS A VICTORIOUS O'HAIRE WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH CAIN TO MASSIVE BOOS.

J.R.: "Come on.... without that distraction, I don't think he wins this match! Meanwhile, DJ has been put on a heck of a losing streak thanks to these two"!

Lawler: "Yeah, well I don't get what you're getting at, J.R., O'Haire has helped this kid out immensely"!

J.R.: "All I know is it will be every man for himself at MeltDown. Don't go away fans, Money Mike and the Masterpiece is up next"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR NCAA FOOTBALL 2009 FOR XBOX, PS3 AND NINTENDO WII IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD.

RETURN FROM BREAK.......

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, THE BOOS OF THE CROWD ARE VERY PREVALENT AS THE CAMERAS ARE IN THE RING WHERE CARLITO IS WITH A FAN WHO IS WEARING A MATT CRUZ 'HOOK 'EM HORNS' T-SHIRT.

J.R.: "Folks we are back live and I don't know what the hell is going on, but Carlito has actually come out during that last commercial break and taken a fan hostage in the ring, simply because of the fact he is a Matt Cruz fan".

Lawler: "Yeah, J.R., and we are in Cruz's neck of the woods, so there are a lot of his fans in the stands and this.... this is just not good".

OFFICIALS HAVE COME OUT FROM THE BACK AND THEY ARE ORDERING CARLITO TO UNHAND THE YOUNG MALE FAN, BUT CARLITO REFUSES. FINALLY, CHEERS POUR THROUGH THE PEPSI CENTER WHEN MATT CRUZ RUNS OUT FROM THE BACK!

CARLITO RELEASES THE FAN AND THROWS A RIGHT HAND WHEN CRUZ COMES IN, BUT CRUZ BLOCKS IT AND FIRES BACK WITH 3 RIGHT HANDS OF HIS OWN BEFORE CLOTHESLINING CARLITO OVER THE TOP ROPE. AS THE CROWD IS IN A FRENZY, CRUZ GETS A MICROPHONE.

Matt Cruz: "Carlito! Did you really think I wouldn't be here in my hometown of Denver tonight?!

THE CROWD GOES WILD

Not only have I decided NOT to retire....... I will see you at MeltDown"!

CRUZ DROPS THE MICROPHONE AS "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE KICKS UP. CARLITO BACKS UP THE RAMP TO THE BACK WITH A LOOK IN HIS EYES LIKE HE'D SEEN A GHOST.

J.R.: "Well I guess you got your answer, Carlito"!

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS CUT TO THE BACK AND THEY PICK UP PARTS OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONEY MIKE.

Money Mike: "Like I said, rumors are running all over the place that you were gonna get involved in my match tonight....... this is my warning for you not to".

EDDIE SAINT JAMES THROWS HIS HANDS UP.

Eddie Saint James: "I have better things to do than to concern myself with you".

MONEY MIKE WALKS AWAY, BUT THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF MONICA, WHO IS IN THE BACKGROUND LISTENING TO EVERY WORD.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS AS PYRO SPEWS OUT BEHIND HIM AS HE FLEXES AND POSES WITH THE TWF WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "It will be at MeltDown where this man will defend the TWF World title against three other men and one of those men is his opponent tonight".

Lawler: "Like him or not, wrestling fans have to give credit where credit is due, Chris Masters have overcome the odds time after time after time"!

MASTERS CLIMBS INTO THE RING AND REMOVES HIS BELT WHEN "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT TO BOOS THAT ARE EQUALLY AS LOUD, IF NOT LOUDER THAN THOSE GIVEN TO MASTERS.

J.R.: "And if there was ever a match where the fans of the TWF would literally flip a coin to decide who to root for..... it would be this one"!

Lawler: "Well the fans are missing out then, because this match features two of the best wrestlers in the world today, and it's gonna be great"!

Non-Title Match

Money Mike vs. World Champion: "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters

Right as the bell sounded, Masters and Money Mike met in the center of the ring, throwing haymakers. Mike landed a stiff right hand, but Masters came back by raking his eyes and then he shot him to the ropes, dropping him with a clothesline. After a big suplex, Masters posed in the center of the ring and yelled "Who's the man"?! Masters pulled Mike up but Mike got in a kick to the stomach before rocking the World champ with a forearm to the back of the head. After Mike completed a side russian leg sweep, he noticed Eddie Saint James standing out at ringside, arguing with referee Jim Korderas. Mike was going to go over to him, but Monica was in the ring holding a steel chair! Mike saw her out of the corner of his eye and was able to duck her swing of the chair and it connected with the skull of the Masterpiece! A look of shock in her eyes, Monica quickly got out of the ring as Mike fell atop Masters and Korderas dropped down to make the 3 count.

Match Time: 2:56

AS "KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN, MONEY MIKE ROSE FROM THE MAT WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Monica has cost the Masterpiece! He asked them to stay out of the match"!

J.R.: "No, he asked The Saint to stay out of it and Monica thought she could pull one over on Money Mike..... it backfired"!

MONEY MIKE STOOD IN THE RING, ABSORBING THE BOOS OF THE CROWD.

Lawler: "Think of the momentum this gives Mike heading into MeltDown"!
