"TO BE LOVED" STARTS UP AND THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO FOR RAMPAGE ROLLS. CLIPS OF TYSON KIDD HAVE BEEN SPLICED IN ALONG WITH A NEW CLIP OF DOLPH ZIGGLER. THE ARENA THEN COMES INTO THE SHOT AND THE OPENING PYRO AND SENT OFF.

Jim Ross: "We have come to the U.S. Cellular arena here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I gotta tell ya, King, if the fans around here supported the Bucks like they do the TWF..... they might be a playoff team"!

Jerry Lawler: "This is out of control, J.R.! These fans are ready for a huge night"!

ELIJAH BURKE's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE RECEIVES SOME OF THE LOUDEST BOOS ALL NIGHT, PARTIALLY BECAUSE HE's THE FIRST GUY OUT AND THE CROWD IS WARMED UP.

J.R.: "And a big show they're gonna get! What better way could we start tonight off than to have a WrestleMania Jackpot qualifying match"?!

CHEERS EMANATE FROM ALL OVER THE ARENA WHEN "TNT" BY AC/DC STARTS TO PLAY. A SPOTLIGHT FINALLY FINDS CHRIS TIRPAK MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE WILD CROWD WITH A KENDO STICK IN HAND.

Lawler: "And we all remember last year's Jackpot when this guy climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase"!

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak did win the WrestleMania Jackpot but I talked to him earlier today and he made it very clear that he wants another shot to cash it in successfully".

Lawler: "First he's gotta get through Elijah Burke and that is certainly no gimme"!

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualification Match

Elijah Burke vs. Chris Tirpak

This match started out very slowly with both men trying to get control from a tie up or clinch position. Finally Burke got in a shot to Tirpak's right knee before shooting him to the ropes and finding the mark with a flying back elbow. Burke then got atop Tirpak and fired down with a barrage of right hands, forcing referee Chad Patton to pull him off. Burke waited for Tirpak to get up and he then hit the ropes, only to run into a big kick to the face from Tirpak. After a big flapjack, Tirpak delivered an elbow drop and covered him for a 2 count. Tirpak then pulled Burke up and whipped him to the corner but when he charged in, Burke got 2 feet up in his face before hoisting himself to the top rope where he flew off with a picture perfect missile dropkick. But Burke neglected to go for the cover, instead trying to whip Tirpak into the corner but Tirpak reversed it and threw Burke towards the corner. Burke was able to use the ropes to try and sling over Tirpak but he couldn't quite extend over his entire frame and Tirpak caught him on his shoulders, delivering the "Lights Out" just like that to put an end to an exciting match.

Match Time: 6:16

J.R.: "Lights out for Elijah Burke! Tirpak is into the Jackpot"!

Lawler: "And he's gonna get the chance to win it back to back..... what a huge accomplishment that would be"!

"TNT" PLAYED AGAIN AND TIRPAK CELEBRATED THE WIN IN THE RING WHILE POINTING TO THE WRESTLEMANIA 10 SIGN THAT WAS HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS.

J.R.: "What a huge start to a huge night, fans! I'll tell ya what.... you don't want to go away"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS LIVE, "ENTER SANDMAN" COMES ON AND THE FANS GO WILD AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN APPEARS FROM THE BACK AND HE HEADS TO THE RING. HE IS WEARING PLAIN LIGHT BLUE JEANS AND A WHITE HOODIE.

J.R.: "We are back live here on the USA network and fans, you are looking at the winner of the 2009 Royal Rumble"!

Lawler: "For those of you out there that missed out on the Royal Rumble, you missed Travis Wakeman winning the Royal Rumble for an unbelievable third time"!

J.R.: "He had the luck of the draw, coming into the thing at number thirty and we all know what he has now, King.... that guaranteed spot in the main event of WrestleMania 10".

WAKEMAN IS HANDED A MICROPHONE BY LILIAN GARCIA AND THE CROWD IS STILL CHEERING HIM.

Travis Wakeman: "Thank you...... thank you all for that. I know there are a lot of questions the wrestling world wants me to answer. I've seen some of the rumors out there on the internet, but what I will talk about is WrestleMania! (the fans cheer) After once again winning the Royal Rumble, I know have the choice of facing either the World or the Universal champion and ya know.........

JUST THEN, ELIJAH BURKE's MUSIC COMES ON AGAIN AND HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH A MICROPHONE.

J.R.: "What's Burke doing out here again"?

Elijah Burke: "Hey..... Wakeman! Why don't you tell these people what they really want to know?! No one in the back knows what's going on with you, but trust me dude, the stuff I'm hearing ain't good".

Wakeman: "What does it have to do with you? And why the hell are you coming back out here..... didn't you just get beat"?

BURKE IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE COMMENT, BUT CALMS DOWN.

Burke: "Ya know, Wakeman, I'm not even gonna let that get to me. If you don't want to talk..... I know a guy who will just beat it out of you".

Wakeman: "Oh, does that mean your talking about Terkay? Because if so, I'd love to see him beat anything out of me! In fact, you go find his ugly ass and tell him that if he's up to it..... he can bring that title he's got to the ring tonight and put it up against me"!

THE FANS LOUDLY POP

Lawler: "What? Is Wakeman looking for an ECW World title match"?!

J.R.: "That's sure as heck what it sounds like"!

Burke: "Ya know, one of these days you're gonna have to stop being so confident, Wakeman. You might have a main event match at WrestleMania for now, but I know the Manbear, and I know he'll have no problem kicking your ass tonight! And after he gets done with you..... if you're lucky...... you'll be able to get up and limp out of here while all these stupid people cheer for their hero that for some reason, they still believe in! Terkay....... he's gonna hurt you tonight".

BURKE's MUSIC PLAYS AGAIN AND HE AND WAKEMAN STARE ACROSS THE BUILDING AT EACH OTHER.

Lawler: "We've got an ECW World title match tonight now, J.R."!

J.R.: "Wakeman has gotten his wish, but if I understand Elijah Burke right, he just played right into the Knockout-Tapout Connection's hand"!

BACKSTAGE AREA........

FANS CHEER WHEN THEY SEE ROWDY RODDY PIPER WALKING THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA. HE COMES TO HIS OFFICE TO FIND JASON OLIVER STANDING IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. PIPER JUST PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN.

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "I don't want to do this with you tonight. We had our match, now I have a job to do. So if you don't...........

Jason Oliver: "Is he gonna be here or not"?

Piper: "He didn't return any calls. Look, this thing is entirely up to him. I talked to him about it and he wasn't sure".

Oliver: "Fine.... he doesn't want to listen to you.... then maybe he'll listen to me. Just make sure to schedule me for about five minutes in the ring tonight".

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

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

This was a terrific tag team match with 4 superior athletes. Haas and Benjamin were cookin', making several tags while they isolated Rhodes in the ring. Benjamin was able to hit his Dragonwhip kick and had the match won but Dibiase came in to break up the pin. Haas then got into and knocked Dibiase down with a right hand before picking Rhodes up and holding him over the top rope, waiting for Benjamin to complete their signature double team move. But Dibiase got up and hit Haas from behind. Haas released Rhodes and threw a clothesline at Dibiase but hit his own partner when he ducked! Benjamin went down hard as Dibiase dumped Haas over the top rope. Rhodes then got up and grabbed Benjamin, delivering his rolling DDT which he calls "Cross Rhodes" to get the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 7:11

BACKSTAGE........

MELINA IS SHOWN IN HER DRESSING ROOM GETTING LOOSE WITH SOME STRETCHES BEFORE GETTING UP TO TAKE A DRINK OF WATER. THE DOOR TO HER ROOM IS OPEN AND RANDY ORTON APPEARS IN THE DOORWAY. SHE SEEMS TO FEEL HIS PRESENCE AND TURNS TO SEE HIM. STARTLED, SHE BEGINS TO CHOKE ON THE WATER.

Melina: (through coughs) "Oh...... uh, you scared me".

Randy Orton: "I want to know what's wrong with Wakeman".

Melina: "What"?

Orton: "You heard me..... what's wrong with him"?!

ORTON STARTS TO COME TOWARDS MELINA, CORNERING HER AGAINST A WALL.

Melina: "I..... I don't know what you're talking about..... he hasn't told me anything".

ORTON IS OBVIOUSLY ANGRY BUT WALKS AWAY, LEAVING MELINA A LITTLE SHAKEN AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

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

RETURN FROM BREAK......

The TWF Tron flickers on to show Richard Ramsley sitting in the corner of a dimly lit room. His hair and face are visibly soaked with sweat, and small beads of sweat drip off of his brow each time he rocks forward. He runs a hand through his hair, and leans forward towards the camera. His facial expression is one of anger and desperation. He bites his lip harshly, causing a small trickle of blood to glide down his chin. He sniffs, and wipes the blood away with his hand. He coughs once, and once again looks at the camera.

Richard Ramsley: "I've waited..... I've waited, and I've waited, and I've WAITED! I sat back.... I did nothing. I was given matches, but.... my heart wasn't in them... it was like.... it was like getting a band-aid when I needed stitches. It helped quell my rage a little, but it didn't get rid of it. But I feel as though the unholy weight that's been sitting on my shoulder is lifting. I don't have to wait anymore. I'm NOT going to wait anymore. I'm going to strike, and I'm going to unleash my rage. I'm going to hurt you.... I'm going to hurt you so damn badly...I'm going to mame you, I'm going to crush you.... I'll ravage your entire body.... and then I'm going to practically drink in your screams as you lie at my feet, bleeding and helpless!

Ramsley is visibly shaking with what seems to be both rage and anticipation. He puts his hands on his head, and takes a few deep breaths. He then cups his hands over his mouth, and looks up. With one last breath, he looks to the camera once again.

Ramsley: "You see, the first time I went into the locker room as a Rampage wrestler.... I hated you. When I first saw you, I... I hated you with all my heart, but I didn't know why. So I started doing a little research. I learned about you... I learned of the things you've done... and for a second, I... I started to like you. You.... you were as screwed up as I was! We could be friends, we could team up, we could... we could hurt people together. But then I learned more... I learned how you "turned your life around." And that's when I found out why I hate you. I hate you because you did the most unspeakable thing you could ever do.... you CHANGED! You changed who you are, you removed your problems, you..... you made yourself into what society thought you should be.... you were hated by society! You were an outcast! You should have EMBRACED that! But what did you do? You let yourself become a puppet to those who shunned you for who you were. Well guess what? I didn't change. I am what I am, "flaws" and all. And now.... now I'm going to show you.... well, I'm going to show you a lot of things. I'm going to show you how powerful you can be when you embrace your quote-en-quote personal demons. And I'm going to show you that no matter what you think, you're not better than me. In fact.... I'm going to show you that for all this talk of being a changed man, for all this talk about rising above your sins.... I'm going to show you that you and I.... like it or not... are exactly the same. And it's going to be a lesson you'll NEVER forget. So get ready. It all begins soon...

Ramsley gives a twisted smile, he quickly leans back, and kicks the camera. It shakes violently, and focuses on the ground before the camera feed changes to static.

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, MELINA's THEME MUSIC IS PLAYING AND SHE IS ON HER WAY TO THE RING WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST. HER OPPONENT, MONICA IS WAITING IN THE RING.

J.R.: "Boy, that Ramsley is one sick individual".

Lawler: "Well, I'd say he's just misunderstood, but he does seem to have a bullseye on someone".

J.R.: "Well right now we've got the Women's champion, Melina, ready for a non-title match against Monica who is quickly rising up the ranks here on Rampage after a big win over Beth Phoenix at the Royal Rumble".

Lawler: "And Melina has probably got a lot on her mind after what we just saw with Randy Orton".

J.R.: "Well she better get focused quick"!

Non-Title Match

Monica vs. Women's champ: Melina

These two ladies got right after it, trading hard forearms in the center of the ring. Monica was able to sneak in a kick before drilling Melina with a clothesline. She then got down on her knees and grabbed Melina's head, ramming it into the mat several times. Melina struggled to recover as Monica kicked her right in the ribs. She then picked her up and delivered a big suplex, floating over into a cover to get a 2 count. Monica continued to punish Melina but after reversing an irish whip, Melina used a nice headscissor takedown before dropping Monica with a kick to the head. She went into a cover but only got a 2 count. Melina pulled Monica up and whipped her to the corner, following in with a clothesline. She then ran at the ropes again but this time, Monica lifted her up and dropped her throat first over the top ring rope. Melina hit hard and immediately grabbed her throat as Monica went to the top rope, coming off the top rope with a crazy 450 splash right into a cover and that won her the match.

Match Time: 5:07

J.R.: "Monica has gotten the win with an incredible move off the top rope...... Melina doesn't know what hit her, King"!

Lawler: "She's lucky this match wasn't for the title"!

"THOUGHTLESS" BY EVANESCENCE HITS AND MONICA LEAVES THE RING TO MOSTLY BOOS AND A SATISFIED SMIRK ON HER FACE AS MELINA SLOWLY GOT UP IN THE RING WITH THE HELP OF THE ROPES.

J.R.: "Well I don't think Melina's thoughts were one hundred percent where they needed to be tonight and this situation with Travis Wakeman..... whatever it is, is really affecting our Women's champ".

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH MONEY MIKE WHO IS DRESSED IN AN ALL GREEN WARM-UP SUIT.

Todd Grisham: "Money Mike, tonight, your hand picked team of The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James will defend the Rampage Tag Team titles against J.J. Ramplin and Matt Cruz, some say that........

Money Mike: "Shut up! The Boogeyman and The Saint are ready, trust me. Cruz, you made the foolish decision to not accept my offer to make your life better, but Ramplin, you made an even worse decision when you decided to stick your nose..............

SUDDENLY, MIKE QUITS SPEAKING AND J.J. RAMPLIN ENTERS THE SHOT. THE TWO MEN ARE FACE TO FACE.

J.J. Ramplin: "What are you gonna do about it, Mike? Did you ever consider that Matt Cruz saw how you made my life so much "better" when I was part of the Horsemen? Come on, Mike, what are you gonna do? One of these days.... you're just gonna have to admit that you're not the great leader that you think you are. In fact..... you're nothin' but a pile of crap".

RAMPLIN WALKS AWAY AND MIKE IS CLEARLY TICKED OFF.

"INSIDE THE FIRE" BY DISTURBED COMES ON AND TROY GAFGEN COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE.

J.R.: "That tag team title match will take place a little later tonight but folks, earlier tonight we saw Chris Tirpak qualify for the WrestleMania Jackpot and we know that this guy is already in it. But King, this match has Jackpot implications on it as well".

"NO MORE WORDS" BY ENDEVERAFTER COMES ON AND JEFF HARDY COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER FROM THE CROWD.

Lawler: "That's right, J.R., because if Jeff Hardy can defeat Gafgen here, he will be in a qualifying match on the next Rampage! But if he loses, he will not be eligible for this year's Jackpot"!

J.R.: "So in other words, Gafgen not only put himself into the match using his New Year's resolution, but he now has the oppurtunity to dictate who won't be in the match".

Troy Gafgen vs. Jeff Hardy

Looking to be the aggressor, Jeff Hardy attacked Gafgen right as the bell rang, hitting him with everything he could. Gafgen was able to catch a leg on a kick attempt only to have Hardy turn it into a reverse mule kick. He then went to the top rope and went for the Whisper in the Wind but Gafgen got out of the way and Jeff hit the mat hard. Gafgen then dropped a legdrop on him and covered him for a long 2 count. Jeff was shaken and Gafgen began to pour it on. After a sideslam, Gafgen pulled Jeff up and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with an impressive spinebuster. Gafgen went for another pinfall attempt but just in time, Hardy got his right shoulder off the mat. Hardy got up and backed into the corner, only to have Gafgen pound him with a clothesline. gafgen backed up again and went for another clothesline, but this time, Jeff got out of the way and went to the top rope, connecting with the Whisper in the Wind. He then grabbed the feet of Gafgen and jumped between his legs, dropping both his legs across his chest. Jeff was back in the match and so were the fans. After leveling Gafgen with a flying forearm, Jeff waited for him to get up and he grabbed him for the Twist of Fate. But as he went for it, Gafgen pushed him into the corner and as Jeff came back, he rolled him up and grabbed a handful of his pants as referee Jose Mendez counted the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 5:11

Lawler: "Wait a minute..... the ref had to have seen that"!

Lawler: "No, it doesn't look like he did, J.R., he's raising the hand of Gafgen".

"INSIDE THE FIRE" PLAYED AGAIN AND GAFGEN QUICKLY LEFT THE RING AS JEFF PROTESTED THE RESULT WITH MENDEZ.

J.R.: "Well unfortunately for Jeff, he is not eligible for the WrestleMania Jackpot and Gafgen will no longer have to worry about him"!

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, BOTH CHRIS MASTERS AND SEAN O'HAIRE ARE IN THE RING WHEN "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY HITS AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

J.R.: "We are back here on Rampage and we are ready for a blockbuster tag team match as you see Chicago's own Axl Irvin make his way to the ring".

Lawler: "Well it's good to see Axl back here on Rampage but he's in there against two of the most successful TWF superstars over the last couple years".

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF SEAN O'HAIRE STARING A HOLE THROUGH HIM AS HE COMES TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Well he's got a very capable partner in the form of Sebastian Cain, the brand new TWF King of Cable"!

Lawler: "You gotta give credit where credit is due.... Sebastian Cain was able to get the biggest win of his life against Sean O'Haire at the Royal Rumble but you know O'Haire is out to prove it was a fluke.... and he's got the chiseled out Masterpiece to help him do it"!

Chris Masters and Sean O'Haire vs. Axl Irvin and Sebastian Cain

Axl Irvin stepped into the ring to start the match off and he demanded that Masters get in with him. But O'Haire got into the ring and the two men locked up. O'Haire was able to sneak in a knee to the gut before sending him into the corner. O'Haire then distracted referee Scott Martin as Masters used the tag rope to choke Axl. O'Haire then moved towards Axl and slapped him across the chest with a knifedge. Masters was now ready to tag into the match and he came in, muscling Axl up above his head for a gorilla press slam. After a big elbow, Masters went for the cover but Axl was up at 2. Masters locked in a reverse chin lock and the crowd did all they could to rally Irvin. Slowly, Axl began to get to his feet and he drove 2 elbows into the midsection of Masters. But when he tried to break free, Masters pulled him back and clotheslined him in the back of the head. He then made the tag to O'Haire who went to the top rope, coming off with the Sean-Ton Bomb. But Axl was able to roll out of the way. He began to inch his way to his corner where he slapped the extended hand of Cain. Cain came into the ring and hit O'Haire with 2 big clotheslines before bouncing off the ropes and landing a big splash to get a 1........2........, but O'Haire was up. Masters came into the ring but Cain beat him to the punch and kicked him in the stomach, only to be hit from behind by O'Haire. After a big snap suplex, O'Haire made the tag to Masters who picked Cain up and tossed him into the corner with his incredible strength. This time, Masters pulled Martin away from the action as O'Haire used the same tag rope, wrapping it around the neck and throat of Cain. Masters then barreled over the King of Cable with a clothesline. He then got Cain above his head much like he did earlier with Axl but Cain slipped free and landed on his feet, delivering a big dropkick when Masters turned around. Cain then made it to his corner and got the tag to Axl. But before Axl could do anything, O'Haire got into the ring and kicked him in the back of the head. Seeing this, Cain came into the ring and clotheslined O'Haire over the top rope with enough momentum that they both went outside the ring to the floor. In the ring, Axl slowly got to his feet and backed into the corner, trying to shake the cobwebs from O'Haire's nasty kick. Masters charged in looking for a double axe handle but Axl moved out of the way and then rolled Masters up for the 3 count!

Match Time: 6:08

J.R.: "Yes! He got him! Axl Irvin has pinned the Masterpiece"!

Lawler: "It looked like it was curtains for Axl, but what a recovery"!

"THE REALEST" PLAYED AGAIN AS AXL IRVIN AND SEBASTIAN CAIN CELERATED THE WIN INSIDE THE RING, ABSORBING THE CHEERS FROM THE CROWD AS O'HAIRE AND MASTERS WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP, CLEARLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE RESULT.

J.R.: "Masters and O'Haire may not like it, King, but what a big win for Axl and Sebastian Cain"!

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, JASON OLIVER IS SHOWN WHEN DEUCE SNUKA COMES UP TO HIM.

Jason Oliver (laughing a bit): "Oh, let me guess, you want your spot back in GeNext"?

Deuce Snuka: "No.... no I don't! Not after what you did to my father"!

Oliver: "What I did to your father? Your father deserved it, in fact, he deserves a lot more than that".

Deuce: "Look...... when the time comes, I'm gonna make you pay for that, you understand me"?

Oliver: "No, let's get something straight, you don't make threats to me. Your dad isn't the great guy everybody thinks he is".

Deuce: "What's that supposed to mean"?

Oliver: "Don't make me bring it up...... you know what I'm talking about. Your dad is a piece of..........

BEFORE OLIVER CAN UTTER ANOTHER WORD, DEUCE KNOCKS HIM TO THE FLOOR WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE HE WALKS AWAY.

Oliver: "Son of a bitch"!

THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING.

Tyson Kidd vs. Curt Hawkins

Two of the young up and comers on Rampage squared off here but in this one, Hawkins didn't have a tag team partner. Out to show what he can do in singles competition, Hawkins delivered a picture perfect dropkick followed by a nice armdrag. He then used a headlock takeover but Kidd used a headscissor to get free. Hawkins was able to use an inverted atomic drop when they got up before hitting the ropes, dropping Kidd with a clothesline. Hawkins then asked the fans for support and they cheered as he went to the top rope but when he flew off, Kidd took him right out of the air with a dropkick. Moments later, Hawkins got to his feet and Kidd tried to whip him to the ropes but Hawkins put on the breaks, grabbing him in a standing side headlock. But Kidd jabbed him twice in the ribs before grabbing the back of his head and running towards the ropes. Kidd jumped over the top rope, pulling Hawkins down over it before landing on the arena floor. Kidd capped that tremendous athletic move off by climbing back to the apron and springing off the top ring rope to deliver a pretty flying elbow drop, one that would make Randy Savage very proud, and that got him the 1........2........3.

Match Time: 4:39

KIDD LEFT THE RING TO A MIXED REACTION BUT HE DREW PLENTY OF BOOS WHEN HE REFUSED TO SLAP HANDS WITH ANY OF THE RINGSIDE FANS AND ACTUALLY PULLED HIS HAND AWAY FROM A YOUNG CHILD.

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ HEADS OUT FROM THE BACK TO THE RING AND RECEIVES A BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "We are back here live on the USA network and we are getting geared up for one of two title matches still to come tonight"!

Lawler: "Well it's gonna be interesting to see how Cruz and Ramplin work together, especially since this will be their first match as a team".

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS "WANTED MAN" BY REV THEORY STRIKES UP AND J.J. RAMPLIN COMES OUT AND GOES TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Ramplin and Cruz are two guys who have achieved plenty of success over the years but King, I want your thoughts on the recent change in character of Ramplin, getting involved in an incident in which Money Mike and his men were ready to seriously injure Cruz".

RAMPLIN GETS IN THE RING AND HE AND CRUZ SLAP HANDS BEFORE GETTING LOOSE. "I'M THE BOOGEYMAN..... AND I'M COMIN' TO GETCHA" IS HEARD BEFORE THE BOOGEYMAN's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES CRAWLING OUT FROM THE BACK, A MOUTHFUL OF WORMS AND HIS RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLE AROUND HIS NECK.

Lawler: "Well, it was definitely unexpected but I understand where he was coming from. I really feel that we have yet to see the best of J.J. Ramplin and I think the best from him is going to come when he's not associated with any groups or tag team partners".

"I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATE BREED COMES ON AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES HEADS TO THE RING WITH MONICA. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "Well this is a very unique team, to say the least, of The Boogeyman and The Saint as you take a look at the Saint who is with Monica, who of course defeated Melina earlier tonight".

Lawler: "Money Mike saw something in these guys, as strange as they are, and he made them tag team champions! I mean, what did they have before"?

J.R.: "Well that's what Money Mike says his goal is right now is to help those less fortunate which is all very strange to me but that's another story for another day".

TWF Rampage Tag Team Title Match

Challengers: Matt "Madik" Cruz and J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin vs. The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James w/ Monica

Right as the match started, The Boogeyman threw a clothesline at Ramplin that missed everything and Ramplin picked him up and delivered a spinebuster. He then tagged in Cruz who went to the top rope and came off with a moonsault. The match was over as Cruz hooked the leg but just before referee Chad Patton could get a 3 count, The Saint came in to break the fall. Ramplin got back in and drove the Ram's Horns through The Saint and Cruz waited for The Boogeyman to get up. But just then, Money Mike hit the ring carrying a steel chair and he smashed Cruz across the back, knocking him to the mat as Patton called for the bell. Ramplin hit Mike from behind and he dropped the chair but Boogeyman and The Saint double teamed Ramplin before The Saint got him up for the "Death to Humanity".

J.R.: "C'mon..... the match is over.... stop this"!

Money Mike went and picked the chair back up and jammed it into the ribs of Ramplin. After hitting Ramplin with the chair across his chest, Money Mike ordered The Saint and Boogeyman to get Ramplin up. They got him up to a seated position.

Lawler: "Oh what now? This is gonna get ugly, J.R."!

With that, Mike smashed the chair over the head of The Ram, knocking him unconcious.

J.R.: "My God! What a sickening shot that was! Money Mike has interjected himself here and laid waste to Cruz and especially J.J. Ramplin"!

"KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AS MONEY MIKE LEFT THE RING WITH THE TRIO OF THE BOOGEYMAN, EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA. IN THE RING, CRUZ GOT UP AND TRIED TO HELP RAMPLIN TO HIS FEET.

Lawler: "J.J. Ramplin has been busted open, J.R., this doesn't look good".

BACKSTAGE......

IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH ELIJAH BURKE AND SYLVESTER TERKAY, WHO HAS THE ECW WORLD TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER.

Todd Grisham: "Okay, guys, coming up in just moments, Sylvester Terkay is going to defend the ECW World title against Travis Wakeman but Elijah, I gotta ask, did you consult with Terkay here before accepting Wakeman's challenge earlier"?

Elijah Burke: "You really don't know the Manbear that well, do you? See, he's held the ECW World title since last year's WrestleMania and he's not afraid of any challenge. Wakeman, you made a mistake asking for this match, especially with whatever issue you're dealing with. Tonight.... the Manbear is gonna break you".

BURKE WALKS AWAY AND TERKAY FOLLOWS, BUT NOT BEFORE GIVING A LONG LOOK TO GRISHAM.

BACK IN THE RING, "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN IS PLAYING AND JASON OLIVER IS IN THE RING, LISTENING TO LOTS OF BOOS AND HECKLING FROM THE CROWD.

J.R.: "That ECW World title match will be our main event but Jason Oliver asked for this time and now he's got it".

Jason Oliver: "Shut that music off!

THE MUSIC ABRUPTLY STOPS

I came out here to make a point because apparently, I didn't make it at the Royal Rumble. See, the deal was that if I beat Piper, he would give me what I want..... he would produce Shawn Michaels! Shawn, you were supposed to be here tonight..... why aren't you? You found it inside yourself to confront me after my match.... after I destroyed the Hot Rod! So why aren't you here? I'd hate to think that you're scared, Shawn. I'd hate to think that the Heartbreak Kid has gone soft.... so where are you? I'll tell ya what..... I've been given clearance to come to the next PrimeTime in Newark, New Jersey. Hopefully.... I'll see you there".

OLIVER TOSSES THE MICROPHONE OUTSIDE THE RING AS "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" PLAYS AGAIN AND OLIVER LEAVES THE RING, AGAIN BEING BOOED.

Lawler: "Well there ya have it".

J.R.: "You have to wonder what this is about. What is Oliver's fixation with Shawn Michaels"?

Lawler: "Well my question is the same as Oliver's..... why isn't Michaels here tonight, as promised by Piper"?

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, "ENTER SANDMAN" BY METALLICA PLAYS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A HUGE CHEER.

J.R.: "We're back and it's main event time! What a big match this is gonna be, King"!

Lawler: "Travis Wakeman has a chance to become ECW World champion here tonight, J.R., but he's still favoring something, you can see he's still not quite right".

J.R.: "And whatever is wrong with him, assuming something is of course, both Elijah Burke and Sylvester Terkay seem to be as interested as anyone as to what that is, over the last several weeks anyway".

BOOS FILL THE U.S. CELLULAR ARENA AS SYLVESTER TERKAY's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE COMES OUT LED BY ELIJAH BURKE.

Lawler: "Well did you notice how long it took Wakeman to get to the ring? I think Terkay can and will pick him apart here, J.R.".

J.R.: "This will definitely be a very good, hard hitting affair between two of the better technicians in the game".

ECW World Title Match

Challenger: Travis Wakeman vs. Sylvester Terkay w/ Elijah Burke

Right from the opening bell, it was the Manbear who was in control, easily breaking through Wakeman's defense and just pummelling him with right hands, first to the head and then the body. After some hard kidney shots seemed to cripple Wakeman, Terkay used a hammerlock to set up a backdrop suplex, right on the right arm and shoulder. Wakeman was clearly in trouble as Terkay tried to get a Fujiwara armbar on, but Wakeman rolled to his knees and punched Terkay twice to free himself. After a clothesline staggered the champion, Wakeman grabbed him and pulled him right into a back elbow. Terkay, although trying not to go down, was still on his feet. Wakeman ran the ropes but Burke grabbed his right foot to trip him up. Terkay then dropped an elbow on the back of his head before rolling him over and covering him with a lateral press. Referee Jimmy Korderas got a 2 count before Wakeman got his left shoulder off the mat. Terkay continued to work on the arm of Wakeman, clearly trying to set up his Triangle Armbar. Wakeman did his best to fight him off, but he was in a lot of pain. Terkay finally pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but Wakeman ducked a clothesline and connected with right and left hands to each side of the face but Terkay dodged an uppercut and scored with a nasty STO takedown. Terkay covered Wakeman and got 1........2.........., but at the last second, Wakeman was up. Terkay picked him up, showing an immense amount of strength as he delivered a dead lift style gutwrench suplex. Another cover and another 2 and 7/8 count for the Manbear. Terkay got him up and sat him on the top rope, looking for the Muscle Buster. He moved in but Wakeman stuck a foot in his face before flying off the top rope with a clothesline. The fans went wild as Wakeman scored, yet both men were down. As Korderas began to administer his 10 count, Burke jumped up on the apron and unhooked the top turnpad in one of the corners. Terkay beat Wakeman to his feet, getting up as Korderas had a count of 7. He threw a clothesline that missed and Wakeman used a jumping enziguri, a move we've never seen him use to put Terkay down again. He then saw Burke on the apron and went after him. Burke jumped off the apron to the floor as Terkay got up and ran at Wakeman from behind. But Wakeman turned and was able to sidestep him, throwing him right into the exposed turnbuckle! Terkay hit it hard and grabbed his head as he fell to the mat. Seeing the opening, Wakeman got down to the mat and locked in the Crossface! He had it right in the center of the ring and Burke couldn't believe his eyes as the fans went nuts. For nearly 2 minutes, Terkay moved around with Wakeman on his back, trying to get to the ropes. Wakeman pulled back on the hold as hard as he could, looking like he might pass out himself. Finally, Terkay had no choice but to tap out.

Match Time: 9:27

J.R.: "My God.... he got the Manbear to give in"!

Lawler: "We have a new champion"!

AS KORDERAS HANDED WAKEMAN THE TITLE, ELIJAH BURKE CAME INTO THE RING AND HIT HIM FROM BEHIND. WAKEMAN TURNED AROUND AND DUCKED A BIG RIGHT HAND BEFORE HITTING BURKE WITH HIS NEWLY WON BELT.

J.R.: "Down goes Elijah Burke"!

Lawler: "Wait a minute, there's Randy Orton"!

FROM OUT OF NOWHERE CAME RANDY ORTON AND HE USED HIS VERY OWN TWF WORLD TITLE TO HIT WAKEMAN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

J.R.: "Oh what a shot! He caught Wakeman solid with that one"!

Lawler: "What's Orton got in mind now"?

AS WAKEMAN WAS TRYING TO COLLECT HIMSELF AND GET UP, RANDY ORTON RAN IN AND PUNTED HIM, SENDING HIM FOR A LOOP.

J.R.: "Oh my gosh.... that was awful".

Lawler: "I think I saw a wisdom tooth fly over my head"!

THE FANS LOUDLY AND VERY HARSHLY BOOED AS ORTON PICKED UP THE ECW WORLD TITLE AND DROPPED IT ACROSS THE CHEST OF AN OUT COLD WAKEMAN.

Lawler: "Well if Wakeman didn't have anything wrong with him before, he sure as heck does now"!

J.R.: "Wakeman has had his brains scrambled by Randy Orton and King, it sure looks like Randy Orton isn't waiting for Wakeman to select his WrestleMania opponent..... I think he's just done it for him".
