Taco Bell Arena

Boise, Idaho

Attendance: 8,190

February 24, 2009

Boise, Idaho was the site for this edition of Rampage, a place the show hadn't been since December of 2001. Many of the faces had changed for the fans since then, but the excitement was still the same, if not even more!

Dolph Ziggler vs. Byron Wilcott (invitee)

Did you know? Dolph Ziggler was once a member of the Spirit Squad? Yep, he sure was and he showed a lot of the same enthusiastic energy in this one against Wilcott. But he also showed an incredible amount of athletic ability. After catching Wilcott with a springboard flying back elbow after being whipped to the ropes, Ziggler used a belly to belly suplex which led to a unique swinging neckbreaker drop to pick up the win.

D'Lo Brown vs. Deuce Snuka

This was a hard hitting affair between a couple of guys who have been at odds before. Snuka muscled D'Lo around the ring to begin the match, but D'Lo hung tough and after reversing an irish whip, he was able to catch Deuce with a flying calf kick which led to his signature legdrop. From there, D'Lo was rolling and he was able to deliver the Sky High. But Deuce somehow got a shoulder up before a 3 count. D'Lo picked him up and slammed him to the mat before heading to the top rope, looking for the "LowDown". But he missed it badly when Snuka rolled out of the way. After kicking D'Lo right in the head, Snuka went to the top rope and flew off with his own version of his father's 'Superfly' splash and he landed it with perfection, covering D'Lo for the 1.........2........3!

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Jeff Hardy vs. Dylan Jansens

There was a lot of respect shown between these two men and they put on a great match, both wanting that spot in the 30 man Royal Rumble. Several counters were used by both men and after dodging Jeff's Whisper in the Wind, Jansens looked to have the match won after a fireman's carry slam. But Jeff kicked out at 2. Jansens measured him for a savat kick but he missed and Jeff grabbed his leg, using a nice dragonwhip to take control of the match. Jeff got several near falls over the next couple minutes before going to the top rope. But Jansens got up to thwart any high flying attack, only to catch a foot in the mouth from Hardy. Seeing an opening, Jeff jumped to the mat and kicked Jansens in the abdomen to set up the Twist of Fate but DJ countered out of it into an incredibly innovative rollup to get the 3 count!

After the match, Jeff Hardy was very disappointed in the defeat, but he graciously offered Jansens congratulations as "Out of My Way" by Seether played in a moment the crowd of over 8,000 really enjoyed.

RAMPAGE GOES LIVE

"TO BE LOVED" PLAYS LOUDLY AND THE OPENING MONTAGE ROLLS BEFORE THE TACO BELL ARENA COMES INTO THE SHOT, BLAZING WITH THE OPENING PYRO AND THE EAR-PIERCING CHEERS FROM THE CROWD.

Jim Ross: "Yo quiero TWF Rampage! We are live from the Taco Bell arena here in Boise, Idaho...... thank you for joining us everyone"!

Jerry Lawler: "I never knew they could make so much noise about something here in Boise other than potatoes, J.R."!

"INSIDE THE FIRE" BY DISTURBED COMES ON AND TROY GAFGEN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well the college football team out here ain't so bad, just don't talk about the Fiesta Bowl from a couple years ago but folks, you are looking at the man who went to War in the Winter, a PrimeTime exclusive event, and won the New Year's battle royal".

Lawler: "And now he can name whatever he'd like for his resolution! Can you imagine what I'd ask for if I won that thing"?!

J.R.: "This is still a family friendly show, as far as I know, King. But you're right, Gafgen can name whatever he'd like as a resolution but I understand he'd like to really think it over before making that announcement".

Lawler: "Well this guy Brian Jossie, his opponent tonight, wants to knock the decision right out of him"!

Troy Gafgen vs. Brian Jossie (invitee)

Gafgen and Jossie locked up and for the first couple minutes of the match, Jossie provided good competition. Whether Gafgen had his mind elsewhere or not was unknown, but Jossie took it to him in the opening moments, scoring a 2 count after a perfect floatover DDT. He then walked the middle ring rope looking for an elbow drop but Gafgen rolled out of the way and got to his feet. He then ran the ropes before kicking Jossie right between the eyes. Gafgen threw the young man into the corner where he roughed him up with several hard right hands to the head and body before shooting him to the far corner. Gafgen charged in but Jossie met him with a back elbow. He then ran out but Gafgen delivered a perfect pancake drop before grabbing Jossie for a nice spiral powerbomb which led to a very easy 3 count.

Match Time: 4:10

J.R.: "And Troy Gafgen keeps on rolling and look, King..... we might get that announcement right now".

LILIAN GARCIA HANDS GAFGEN A MICROPHONE.

Troy Gafgen: "For those of you who don't know...... I was the winner of this year's New Year's battle royal? What was that.... kid? (He points to someone in the first row) You've never even heard of me? Well normally, I'd take that as an insult but I can you this...... everyone in this business will know who I am now. Because for my New Year's resolution....... no actually, I want to savor over this..... so maybe I'll make that announcement..... next time".

GAFGEN DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND LEAVES THE RING AS "INSIDE THE FIRE" STARTS UP AGAIN.

J.R.: "Well, apparently winning the battle royal gives one a change of attitude as well".

Lawler: "Well I'm all for being brash and cocky, but these fans won't tolerate being teased".

J.R.: "I'll guess we'll have to wait for that answer but fans, this, we won't have to wait much longer for at all.........

A PROMO GRAPHIC FEATURING THE 6 COMPETITORS IN TONIGHT's OVER THE TOP CHALLENGE POPS UP.

Lawler: "Oh yes...... tonight, it's gonna be Mr. Kennedy, J.J. Ramplin, Mike Knox, Sylvester Terkay, Richard Ramsley and The Masterpiece in a little preview of the Royal Rumble"!

J.R.: "A six man over the top challenge..... don't go anywhere"!

THE SHOT PICKS UP FROM A SUNNY OUTDOOR SETTING. MONEY MIKE COMES INTO THE SHOT, SIPPING ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PINA COLADA.

Money Mike: "Hello Rampage supporters...... and Rampage fans. Today, I am here in sunny Miami, Florida, one of my favorite parts of the world. And what I have planned is something that the TWF and quite possibly, network tv has ever seen before. So parents, I would put those children under..... oh about twenty one to bed..... because this is not going to be family entertainment".

MIKE TAKES ANOTHER SIP OF THE DRINK AND WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNED LIVE, BETH PHOENIX AND MONICA WERE IN THE RING, READY FOR ACTION.

Beth Phoenix vs. Monica

As soon as the bell sounded, these two vixens were at each other's throats. Both of them are looking to vault themself into title contention and a win here would certainly help their cause. After blocking a kick attempt, Beth came back with a stiff forearm to the head of Monica before running her over with a clothesline. She then went for an elbow drop but missed badly and Monica got up, putting the boots to Beth. After a stiff kick to the head, she hit the ropes but Beth got up to her knees and drove both arms into the midsection of Monica. She then got on top of her, looking to pummel her but Monica reversed position and the two women were just flailing away. Referee Jack Doan stepped in to try and break them up, by they were completely ignoring his orders and he called for the bell to stop the match. But they kept brawling until a few more referees ran out from the back and helped Doan seperate them. A loud chant of "Let them go" broke out.

J.R.: "This match has been thrown out and quite a rivalry is brewing between these two, King"!

Lawler: "They've been at it for weeks and we still haven't seen one of them come out on top..... and it took three men to pull them apart"!

J.R.: "Well we certainly haven't seen the last of these two ladies in the ring together and sometime.... something's gotta give"!

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, RANDY ORTON IS TALKING TO ROWDY RODDY PIPER, TRYING TO GET A POINT ACROSS.

Randy Orton: "I understand that, but with all due respect.......

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "Come on, Randy...... you're better than this. You're better than the guy who does everything he can to dodge a challenge".

Orton: "Dodge? Oh now I'm dodging challengers"?!

Piper: "What the hell do you call what you did to Rob Van Dam? See, Randy, that's what you don't get..... attacking RVD from behind prior to what was supposed to be a World title match doesn't eliminate that problem for you! Oh no, it just pushes it under the rug for a little bit. But at the Royal Rumble, you will put that TWF title belt on the line in a one on one match with Rob Van Dam! How do ya like that"?!

ORTON IS VERY ANGRY AND ALMOST SEEMS LIKE HE IS GOING TO HIT PIPER WHEN JACK SWAGGER COMES UP AND PULLS HIM AWAY.... TRYING TO CALM HIM DOWN AS PIPER JUST LOOKS ON. THE SHOT IS THEN SENT BACK TO RINGSIDE.

"BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A MISSED REACTION.

Lawler: "Back to ringside here and I gotta tell ya, King, I side with the Hot Rod on that one..... Randy Orton to me seems like a guy who will do anything to dodge a challenge".

Lawler: "Well let's not jump to conclusions.... he's the World champion and he'll have to defend that title sometime".

"COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYS AND SEAN O'HAIRE HEADS OUT FROM THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "Well we just learned that the time for that will be the Royal Rumble but here comes another champion and this is a match we have been waiting for a good while to see. It will not be for the King of Cable title, but you know that if Sebastian Cain can defeat his former mentor Sean O'Haire today, he'd have to be considered for a shot at the gold".

Lawler: "Look at Sean O'Haire, very tentative about getting in the ring but getting back to what you said a minute ago, fans do want to see these two men go at it but I still think there's a lot more than meets the eye regarding the situation between these two men"!

J.R.: "Well you can see it in Sebastian Cain's eyes.... he wants this match badly".

Non-Title Match

Sebastian Cain vs. King of Cable: Sean O'Haire

The match still had not become official, because Sean O'Haire was pacing around ringside, stalling. Referee Scott Martin asked him for a third time to get in the ring before he removed the belt from around his waist and handed it to the timekeeper. He then turned back around only to have Cain dive through the ring ropes and hit him with a flurry of right hands to the head. Cain got back in the and Martin pulled him back. But O'Haire reached under the ring and pulled out a fire extinguisher, spraying it's contents right into the face of Cain! Martin called for the bell to stop the match but O'Haire got into the ring with the extinguisher still in hand and he smashed Cain over the head with it, knocking him to the mat. O'Haire then peered down at Cain with a sadistic look in his eyes as "Come On" played again and he left the ring with the King of Cable title in hand.

J.R.: "Well we're not doing very good producing winners in these matches tonight..... this one has been thrown out by the ref as well after Sean O'Haire uses yet another underhanded tactic on his one time protege".

Lawler: "But Sean O'Haire is the guy walkin' out of here and Sebastian Cain is the guy who's gonna need help getting to the back"!

J.R.: "Well fans, don't go away because we've still got a huge slate of action in store"!

PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL..........

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO MIAMI, FLORIDA WHERE MONEY MIKE IS NOW WITH THE BOOGEYMAN, STANDING OUTSIDE SOME SORT OF SHOPPING COMPLEX. BOOGEYMAN IS MAKING HIS USUAL WIERD BODY GYRATIONS AND MANNERISMS WHEN A SMALL COMPACT VAN PULLS UP.

Money Mike: "These are our guys..... let's go".

MONEY MIKE AND BOOGEYMAN MAKE THEIR WAY TOWARD THE VEHICLE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN IS PLAYING AND JASON OLIVER IS IN THE RING ALONG WITH CODY RHODES AND TED DIBIASE. ALSO IN THE RING ARE THREE PORTRAIT STANDS COVERED IN WHITE SHEETS.

J.R.: "We are back on Rampage and during the break, GeNext hit the ring and Jason Oliver said he was going to educate the people here in Boise".

Lawler: "This should be good".

Jason Oliver: "Go ahead, people, boo me. In a minute, your boos will get louder. And that is because you continue to tune into this program thinking things work the same way they did fifteen...... twenty years ago in the wrestling world. Guess what? They don't! I was at the airport to fly to this show and a fan came up to me and asked me when they were gonna see Jake the Snake again. Are you serious? Go to the circus when it comes to town..... he'll be there.

RHODES AND DIBIASE LAUGH BUT THE CROWD JUST BOOS.

I had another guy ask me about your dad, Cody.

RHODES STOPS LAUGHING BUT TRIES TO BE SERIOUS.

I know, ridiculous, right? Anyway, let's take a look at what we have here tonight".

OLIVER PULLS THE SHEET OFF ONE OF THE PICTURES AND THE CROWD POPS WHEN THEY SEE IT IS MICK FOLEY.

Lawler: "Mick Foley"!

J.R.: "One of my very best friends.... Mrs. Foley's baby boy".

Oliver: "Here's a guy who gets called a legend all the time..... he's even in the TWF Hall of Fame. But why? Because he jumped off his roof and landed on a mattress? Because he had his ear ripped off in a ring where the ropes were made of barbed wire? That's not wrestling..... it's trash"!

THE CROWD BOOS AS OLIVER TIPS FOLEY's PICTURE OVER. HE PULLS THE SHEET OFF THE PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE AND IT's NONE OTHER THAN HULK HOGAN.

Lawler: "Oh boy, this is about to get real good"!

Oliver: "Jim Ross, you say all the time that some guys don't know the difference between a wristwatch and a wristlock. This guy here is the poster boy for that! He doesn't know one GOD DAMN wrestling hold! But you people worship him because when you were a kid, he told you to train and say your prayers and eat your vitamins! Do you think he does any of that?! No..... he has a son who spent time in prison for a speed race that killed a guy and his wife left him for a nineteen year old boy! Yeah, talk about those twenty four inch pythons, Hogan...... you disgust me"!

OLIVER PUSHES THE PICTURE OVER AND SPITS ON IT.

J.R: "I'm not liking this at all".

OLIVER ALLOWS TED DIBIASE TO REMOVE THE SHEET FROM THE FINAL PICTURE AND IT IS THAT OF RIC FLAIR. A UNISON "WOOOOOOOOO" FILLS THE TACO BELL ARENA.

Lawler: "Nature Boy Ric Flair"!

Oliver: "And this guy here might be the worst of all! Always talked about as the greatest of all time, but what gets lost in the shuffle is his failed marriages, his public drunkeness and worst of all, the fact that he hung around these locker rooms for far too long..... just so he could hear you people say Wooo! Well wooo to you Ric Flair, the TWF has been a much better place since you left it".

MORE BOOS FOLLOW AS OLIVER TIPS FLAIR's PICTURE OVER BUT THOSE BOOS TURN TO CHEERS AT THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES.

Lawler: "What is this?! Piper's coming out"!

J.R.: "Well God bless him for that..... I wondered how much longer this could go on".

PIPER SLOWLY WALKS DOWN TO THE RING AND GETS A MICROPHONE BEFORE WALKING THE STAIRS UP INTO THE RING, NOT TAKING HIS EYES OFF OLIVER.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "Can you tell me what the hell is the meaning of this"?!

Oliver: "Piper, don't come out here and try and throw your weight around with me! I am just trying to spread the message of GeNext and if enough people would listen to it...... the old fossils of this business could walk away and leave the spotlight for young, deserving men like the ones here in the ring with you"!

Piper: "You can't really be this much of a punk. I remember when you broke into this business. You were a little wet behind the ears, but you had so much talent. And now, you..........

Oliver: "And I remember when you used to be cool! I remember the Piper's Pit! I remember seeing re-runs of the Rock N Wrestling cartoon you were in! And when all those people used to talk about Hogan..... I always told them you were better. But now...... now you're just an old freak holding onto his past..... with a beer gut. I mean, come on.........

Piper: "Stop right there! I'm not gonna let one more word of disrespect come out of your mouth! I know what you want and I know you think you're on that level, but I..........

Oliver: "I won't re-sign my contract with this company until I get it! I will come out here and speak out against all legends and beat the hell out of guys........

Piper: "Whoa! You want to beat the hell out of the legends? Well why don't you start with me? You want to sit out here, with your two buddies, and try to spit on what guys like Ric Flair, Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, and so many others, have done for this business? Not anymore. I'll give you your shot........ Royal Rumble....... I'll give you your shot".

Oliver (grinning): "I accept".

PIPER DROPS THE MICROPHONE AND LEAVES THE RING BUT HE DOESN'T TAKE HIS 'WILD' EYES OFF OF OLIVER.

Lawler: "Does this..... does this mean Piper versus Oliver at the Royal Rumble"?

J.R.: "I believe it does but I have never heard Rowdy Roddy Piper speak with more conviction than he just did. I wish I could say he enlightened Oliver, but instead I think he just walked right where he and GeNext wanted him to".

BACKSTAGE AREA........

IN THE BACK, CAMERAS SHOW SEBASTIAN CAIN FUMBLING THROUGH HIS LOCKER AND HE BECOMES ENRAGED WHEN SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE MISSING.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED PLAYS AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES COMES OUT FROM THE BACK ALONG WITH MONICA. HE HAS HIS RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "Back to the action and we've got a spot in the Royal Rumble on the line here, King".

Lawler: "Money Mike and The Boogeyman are in Miami doing whatever they are doing but The Saint is ready for action here".

"TNT" BY AC/DC COMES ON AND CHRIS TIRPAK IS SEEN IN THE CROWD WITH HIS KENDO STICK. HE MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE MANY FANS, HEADING TO THE RING.

J.R.: "This should be a very physical matchup here between two men who could both do a lot of damage in the Royal Rumble match".

Royal Rumble Qualifying Match

Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. Chris Tirpak

As soon as the bell rang, these two physical superstars met in the middle of the ring, trading shots. After each landed several hard punches, Tirpak began to get the best of it when The Saint used a kick to the right knee to slow him down. After a big clothesline knocked Tirpak down, Saint James ran the ropes and delivered a big legdrop right across the throat. He went for the cover, but Tirpak easily pushed him off. He pulled him up and went for a suplex but Tirpak blocked it and responded with a big suplex of his own. The Saint got up but Tirpak grabbed him and whipped him to the ropes, hitting a big elbow across the chest. Tirpak then ran the ropes but Monica grabbed his right leg. Tirpak immediately went for his kendo stick in the corner, pointing it towards her when The Saint barrelled into him from behind and rolled him up for a 1.........2........., but Tirpak pushed out of the pinning combination. The Saint scored with a diving clothesline but his momentum was stopped when he saw Matt Cruz coming down the ramp. The Saint and Cruz seemed to be exchanging words when Tirpak used a rollup of his own from behind and he was able to get the 3 count and the win.

Match Time: 3:32

J.R.: "Oh he got him! Chris Tirpak will be part of the Royal Rumble"!

Lawler: "What is Matt Cruz doing"?!

AS "TNT" PLAYED AND TIRPAK CELEBRATED THE WIN, CRUZ AND THE SAINT LOCKED EYES IN A TENSE STAREDOWN.

J.R.: "Come on, King, your memory can't be that bad. Money Mike and his group of goons here was spurned by Matt Cruz before they all ganged up on him. Cruz came out tonight to say, you may have three on one odds..... but I'm not backin' down"!

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

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

Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase vs. World's Greatest Tag Team

Rhodes and Dibiase had the same cocky, smug attitude they did when they were out earlier with Jason Oliver, but they soon found themselves in a great match with Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Haas and Benjamin were able to win a brawl with all 4 men in the ring after Haas clotheslined Dibiase over the top rope. Shelton then whipped Rhodes to the corner and landed the Shelton Splash before grabbing him for the T-Bone suplex. Rhodes was able to elbow out of the hold and then he ducked a clothesline attempt from Haas and Haas caught Shelton in the side of the head with it. Back on the apron, Dibiase slapped the hand of Rhodes and entered the ring, grabbing the legal man Haas in the Million Dollar Dream. But with the hold still on, he picked Haas up and slammed him to the mat, covering him for the 3 count.

Match Time: 7:16

J.R.: "Oh what a move..... Rhodes and Dibiase win it".

Lawler: "Well we've seen that Million Dollar Dream many times before, J.R., but he calls that move Dream Street"!

"PRICELESS" PLAYED AS RHODES AND DIBIASE LEFT THE RING, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS BUT STILL CELEBRATING THE WIN AS THE CROWD BOOED.

J.R.: "Well like them or not, these kids are on their way to great futures here in the TWF".

BACKSTAGE.........

CAMERAS SHOW MELINA KNOCKING ON THE DRESSING ROOM DOOR OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN REPEATEDLY AND SHE SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. FINALLY, SHE JUST OPENS THE DOOR TO THE ROOM BUT SEEMS VERY DISTRESSED WHEN SHE REALIZES HE IS NOT IN THERE.

THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE ROB VAN DAM IS SHOWN ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WHEN HE RUNS INTO JACK SWAGGER.

Jack Swagger: "Whoa..... where are you goin'"?

Rob Van Dam: "Hey.... calm down, big man. I'm on my way out to the ring, but if you or your buddy Randy Orton had any ideas about getting involved, you might want to think twice about it".

RVD WALKS PAST SWAGGER WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE BUT SWAGGER DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE FOR HIS WORDS.

CAMERAS THEN GO TO YET ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE M.X. OGDEN, WEARING PLAIN CLOTHES, IS ABOUT TO WALK OUT OF THE ARENA WHEN JASON OLIVER COMES RUNNING UP. OLIVER IS OUT OF BREATH AS HE LOOKS AT A DUFFEL BAG SLUNG OVER OGDEN's SHOULDER, HIS WRESTLING GEAR HANGING OUT OF IT.

Jason Oliver: "What the hell are you doing? Didn't you see what Cody and Ted did out there"?

M.X. Ogden: "No.... and I don't care".

Oliver: "What? What has gotten into you? You.......

Ogden: "I'm done. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm done. I'm walking out the door and I'm doing it for the last time".

Ogden: "So just like that, you're gonna walk out on this..... walk out on GeNext".

Ogden: "That's just it. GeNext.... it's become your thing, not our thing. But not just that, there's plenty of other things, I just don't have time to........

OGDEN STARTS TO WALK OUT BUT OLIVER GRABS HIM. THE TWO ENGAGE IN A LONG STAREDOWN BEFORE OGDEN FINALLY LEAVES THE ARENA AND OLIVER IS SEETHING.

Oliver (to himself): "I always knew you didn't have what it takes".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

Rob Van Dam vs. Rob Storm

After being given a World title shot at the Royal Rumble, Rob Van Dam came out firing on all cylinders and he almost got a very quick win over Storm. But Storm recovered well and ended up giving Van Dam a huge run for his money. After a backdrop suplex, Storm tried to turn RVD over with the Maple Leaf but RVD fought it off and then used his free leg to kick Storm in the face, knocking him to the ropes. RVD popped up as Storm ran back at him with a clothesline but RVD ducked that and caught him with a terrific spin kick right on the jaw. Storm fell to the mat like a ton of bricks before RVD went to the top rope and flew off with the "5 Star Frogsplash" to get the 1........2..........3.

Match Time: 8:40

THE CROWD POPPED AS LOUD AS THEY DID ALL NIGHT TO CHEER VAN DAM FOLLOWING THE WIN BUT SUDDENLY, RANDY ORTON CAME OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A STEEL CHAIR. HE GOT INTO THE RING AND SWUNG IT BUT RVD AVOIDED THAT BEFORE HITTING THE VAN-DAMINATOR AND THE CROWD JUST WENT NUTS!

RVD THEN WENT TO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER 5 STAR FROGSPLASH BUT ORTON HAD ENOUGH AWARENESS TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE COULD.

"ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT PLAYED AS ORTON RETREATED AND RVD POINTED HIS THUMBS TO HIS SHOULDERS AS THE ENTIRE CROWD CHANTED R..........V.........D!

J.R.: "Well, King, I'd say that RVD got a bit of payback tonight".

Lawler: "I just can't believe our champion's not missing some teeth after having that chair kicked into his face"!

J.R.: "I can't wait to see that title match at the Royal Rumble but folks, you don't want to go away because still to come, we will have a six man over the top rope challenge, right here on Rampage"!

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

RETURN FROM BREAK.... OUTSIDE TACO BELL ARENA......

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS SHOWN PACING OUTSIDE THE ARENA. HE IS PUFFING ON A CIGARETTE, SOMETHING HE DOESN'T USUALLY DO, AND LOOKS VERY STRESSED.

THE SCENE THEN RETURNS TO MIAMI, FLORIDA WHERE MONEY MIKE AND THE BOOGEYMAN ARE ABOARD A VEHICLE. BOOGEYMAN IS SILENT AS MIKE TALKS TO SOMEONE HOLDING A CAMERA, IDENTIFYING HIMSELF AS "DIRTY SANCHEZ".

Dirty Sanchez: "So, what makes you want to do this for this guy? I mean, it's cool and all......

Money Mike: "Right now, my goal is to look after those less fortunate and show them the finer things in life. Look at this guy...... what do you think he's done for fun in his life?

BOOGEYMAN GIVES MIKE A WEIRD LOOK.

I've seen your website before and I figured it would be a great oppurtunity for him to experience something....... well you get the idea".

Dirty Sanchez: "Yeah, without a doubt man..... well let's see what we can do here".

THE SHOT FADES OUT FOR A SECOND BEFORE PICKING BACK UP IN THE VAN AND SANCHEZ IS ABLE TO CONVINCE A YOUNG FEMALE TO ENTER THE VAN, PROMISING HER MONEY IF SHE CONSENTS TO A QUICK INTERVIEW.

THE SCENE PICKS UP ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR LATER. THE GIRL HAS ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS, BUT SANCHEZ HAS CONVINCED HER TO STRIP DOWN TO HER BRA AND PANTIES TO EARN SOME EXTRA CASH. NOW, HE ASKS HER FOR SOMETHING MORE AND FOR QUITE A BIT MORE MONEY...... SHE AGREES.

THE BOOGEYMAN IS EXCITEDLY CHOMPING ON A MOUTHFUL OF WORMS AND THE GIRL SEEMS DISGUSTED.

Money Mike: "Now this is what I call helping those less fortunate".

Dirty Sanchez: "Well..... I don't want to get the show cancelled, cause I love Rampage so we better shut these cameras off before this goes any further...........

Money Mike: "Well people, never underestimated the power of Money Mike and rest assured, The Boogeyman here will no longer be a............

THE CAMERA SHUTS OFF AND THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE ACTION IN BOISE.

THE RING IS FILLING UP WITH SUPERSTARS AND J.J. RAMPLIN IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WHILE "NUMBER OF THE BEAST" BY IRON MAIDEN PLAYS.

J.R.: "We are back here live on the USA network and it's time for our main event, an over the top rope challenge and King, I think I'll refrain from commenting on what we just saw".

Lawler: "Well I'm being told in my headset right now that USA network officials are strongly suggesting we don't, so let's talk about this match, a preview of the Royal Rumble of sorts".

"MISTERRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KENNEDY COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

J.R.: "All of these men will take part in the thirty man Royal Rumble including this man..... last year's winner"!

Lawler: "Can you imagine in Mr. Kennedy could win back to back Royal Rumbles and main event WrestleMania again"!

J.R.: "It's never been done before here in the TWF but a win in this over the top challenge could give him plenty of momentum! That, and the luck of the draw and who knows, Kennedy could win it again"!

Over the top Challenge

Richard Ramsley vs. Sylvester Terkay vs. Mike Knox vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Chris Masters

The bell sounded to get this match underway and these 6 men went all out, trying to get quick eliminations. Ramsley and Masters worked together early with a double suplex on Kennedy but as Masters put the boots to Kennedy, Ramsley punched him right in the side of the head and pushed him towards the ropes, trying to get him out. Ramplin was in a brawl with Mike Knox, who was able to throw The Ram into the corner before driving his knee into his gut several times. The ECW champion Sylvester Terkay came from behind and hit Knox in the back of the head before picking him up for a backdrop suplex, dropping him right on his head. But right when he got up, Terkay had his former ECW stable mate Ramplin run through him with the Ram's Horns. Terkay tried to get up quickly but stumbled around and Kennedy ran up and clotheslined him out of the ring. Ramplin came from behind and tried to dump Kennedy out as well but Kennedy landed on the apron and rolled back into the ring before Knox came and kicked Ramplin in the back of the head, knocking him to the floor. On the other side of the ring, Masters and Ramsley were still going at it when Ramsley got in a thumb to the eye. He then kicked Masters in the face before trying to get him on his shoulders for the elimination. But Masters was able to elbow him right in the face before grabbing him under the right arm and throwing him over the top rope, a tremendous show of strength. Knox and Kennedy were struggling with one another across the ring, trying to get each other out. With everything he had left, Masters ran up and grabbed the legs of both men, pushing them over the top rope and they hit the floor at the same time! Masters had won the match and the crowd responded with boos.

Match Time: 10:10

Lawler: "He got 'em both out! Chris Masters is the winner"!

J.R.: "Well that was just five men, King. Not to take anything away from Masters, but at the Royal Rumble, there will be twenty-four other men to contend with! Still, a huge win for the Masterpiece"!

CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AND HE WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP WITH HIS RIGHT ARM RAISED IN VICTORY.

Lawler: "Let's not forget that Chris Masters is a former two time TWF World champion! This might be just what he needed to remind everyone that he's still one of the top dogs in the TWF"!

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