AS RAMPAGE GOES LIVE, FOOTAGE FROM TWF's MAIN EVENT IS SHOWN FOLLOWING THE TAG TEAM MATCH FEATURING TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND JORDAN ROCKWELL VS. RANDY ORTON AND EDGE.

Travis Wakeman: "Enough! I'm tired of running from this"!

Cole: "What is he talking about"?

Wakeman: "Everyone knows there is something wrong with me, so Orton, you might as well stay out here and listen!

ORTON AND EDGE STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AISLE, INTENTLY LISTENING. WAKEMAN LOOKS DOWN, HIS EYES BARELY OPEN.

I have a disease...... a very serious disease. It doesn't matter what it is, cause it kills you just like anything else. Wrestling is what I do.... this is in my blood and without the proper cure, which is a longshot.... I will die doing this. Orton, if that doesn't scare me..... what the hell makes you think that you do"?

WAKEMAN LOOKS UP AND ORTON LOOKS AS THOUGH HE's SEEN A GHOST. THE CROWD IS VERY QUIET.

Cole: "I...... I don't know what to say".

"TO BE LOVED" FOLLOWS ALONG WITH THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO. THE SELLAND ARENA THEN COMES INTO VIEW AND A LARGE WRESTLEMANIA X LOGO IS SHOWN HANGING IN THE RAFTERS AS PYRO POUNDS OFF THE RAMPAGE SET.

Jim Ross: "You just heard the bombshell that was dropped at TWF's Main Event and King, you have to wonder how that will change the main event for the tenth annual WrestleMania because there is no doubt that it does"!

THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS WHEN "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK.

Jerry Lawler: "Well it changes the main event dramatically. I mean, I know he won't do it, but someone should try and talk Wakeman out of even competing".

BOOS FILL THE ARENA WHEN CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT BUT INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH HIS USUAL POSE ROUTINE, HE JUST HEADS STRAIGHT FOR THE RING.

J.R.: "Well these two men are going to be competing for the final spot in the WrestleMania Jackpot match and look at Masters..... he's ready to go"!

Lawler: "There's been some bad blood between these two, J.R. and Masters isn't wasting any time"!

MASTERS GOT RIGHT IN THE RING AND WENT RIGHT AT AXL AND REFEREE CHAD PATTON CALLED FOR THE BELL TO START IT.

WrestleMania Jackpot Qualifying Match

Axl Irvin vs. Chris Masters

Both men brawled all over the ring trying to get the early advantage but the much more powerful Masters was able to take control and slow Axl down with a standing side headlock. Axl tried to get out but Masters wrenched his massive arms tighter and tighther. Finally, Axl stomped on his foot not once, but twice to gain seperation. Axl then ran the ropes but ran right into a big shoulder from Masters that knocked him to the mat. Masters went for an elbow drop but Axl rolled out of the way and from there, Axl hit him with a running kick to the side of the head. Axl then pulled him up and wanted a DDT but Masters used his legs to drive Axl into the turnbuckle before delivering an impressive stalling suplex. Masters then stood over Axl with both hands outward and boos were heard everywhere as the crowd knew what he was looking for. Axl got up and he went for the "Masterlock" but Axl used a standing switch to escape and he held Masters in a waistlock. Masters suddenly struck him with a mule kick but what he didn't realize was that Patton saw it and called for the bell.

Match Time: 4:47

J.R.: "Wait a minute..... there's the bell"!

Lawler: "What the heck happened"?!

MASTERS GRABBED PATTON BY THE COLLAR WITH BOTH HANDS AND WAS INCENSED AS "THE REALEST" PLAYED AGAIN AND AXL IRVIN WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP WITH BOTH ARMS HELD HIGH.

J.R.: "He's disqualified the Masterpiece! Axl Irvin has the last spot"!

Lawler: "He can't do that! He's taken WrestleMania away from the Masterpiece"!

J.R.: "No, the Masterpiece cheated himself out of WrestleMania with a bad decision and how do ya like that? The man who main evented WrestleMania 9 will not even be a part of WrestleMania 10, King"!

Lawler: "Yeah, you're happy about that aren't ya"?

BACKSTAGE AREA..........

CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW GENEXT TALKING AND THEY SEEM TO BE TALKING STRATEGY FOR THE NIGHT AS CODY RHODES WILL FACE SHAWN MICHAELS AND TED DIBIASE TAKES ON THE BOOGEYMAN. BUT, OLIVER MAKES IT CLEAR HE WANTS TO SEND ANOTHER MESSAGE TO MICHAELS BEFORE WRESTLEMANIA.

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

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

AS RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK, TRAVIS WAKEMAN ENTERS THE ARENA FROM THE PARKING LOT AFTER JUST ARRIVING WHEN TOD GRISHAM COMES UP.

Todd Grisham: "Travis..... how are you feeling? Is everything okay? I can get.........

Travis Wakeman: "Fine..... everything is fine. Ya know, Todd, you can drop the sympathy and so can everyone else, because I don't need it. I came out and said what I said at Main Event because I like to get everything out on the table.... I don't want there to be any excuses".

Grisham: "Yeah but how.......

Wakeman: "Can I compete? Can I get into the ring every night? I've been asked that by everyone. I feel exactly the same as I ever have..... I'm going off a doctor's word and I won't stop..... until it stops me".

WAKEMAN WALKS AWAY AND GRISHAM LOOKS ON, STILL CONCERNED.

"I'M THE BOOGEYMAN..... AND I'M COMIN' TO GETCHA" IS HEARD AND THE BOOGEYMAN's MUSIC PLAYS BEFORE HE COMES CRAWLING OUT FROM THE BACK WITH HIS RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLE BELT AROUND HIS NECK.

J.R.: "It looks like Travis Wakeman is attacking this disease or whatever it is that he has like he has every other opponent, King..... head on".

Lawler: "Yeah, but it seems to me like he's a little on the side of acting tough on the outside but it's killing him on the inside.... literally".

J.R.: "Well let's don't talk about that. Let's talk about a big match we have coming up here with WrestleMania implications".

"PRICELESS" COMES ON AND TED DIBIASE MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO MAINLY ALL BOOS.

Lawler: "Here comes part of GeNext, Ted Dibiase and you're right, J.R., if Dibiase wins this match, he and Cody Rhodes get a Rampage tag team title shot at WrestleMania".

J.R.: "A huge oppurtunity for GeNext here and it has been ordered by Rowdy Roddy Piper that if Eddie Saint James or Cody Rhodes even comes out from the backstage area during this match, his partner will be immediately disqualified".

Lawler: "Doesn't Piper have a match to get ready for"?

J.R.: "Yes and we will talk about that later. That'll be a blast from the past if there ever was one"!

The Boogeyman vs. Ted Dibiase

Right as Dibiase got into the ring, Boogeyman came at him with a mouthful of worms. Dibiase ducked under the bottom rope to get away but Boogeyman stood over him until referee Jose Mendez pulled him away. That allowed Dibiase to get in a cheap shot, a right jab that sent some of the worms flying. Dibiase then ran the ropes but Boogeyman caught him with a boot right in the chest followed by a heavy clothesline. He then went for an elbow drop but Dibiase rolled out of the way. Plotting his next move, Dibiase got behind Boogeyman and tried to lock in the Million Dollar Dream but Boogeyman backed into the corner to knock him off. He then scooped Dibiase up and delivered a very innovative reverse falling powerslam. He rolled Dibiase over and hooked the leg as Mendez got a very near fall. Boogeyman pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes but Dibiase came up with a sunset flip when he dropped his head a little early and he very nearly got the win. Both men got to their feet and Boogeyman found the mark with 2 right hands before shooting Dibiase to the corner. He flew in with a body splash but missed everything when Dibiase moved. The son of the Million Dollar Man then rolled Boogeyman up from behind and got the 3 count!

Match Time: 6:19

Lawler: "He got him! Dibiase and Rhodes have earned a title shot"!

J.R.: "Another match has just been added to the growing card for the tenth annual anniversary and it may be the most unique tag team title match in recent memory".

"PRICELESS" CONTINUED TO PLAY AS DIBIASE REACHED THE TOP OF THE RAMP AND CODY RHODES CAME OUT TO HIGH FIVE HIS PARTNER AND THEY BOTH RAISED THEIR ARMS WHILE LOOKING BACK AT THE BOOGEYMAN.

Lawler: "They just look like champions, J.R., look at 'em".

J.R.: "They were born and bred to be in this business and be successful, King, but I have a feeling both The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James will have other ideas come WrestleMania".

BACKSTAGE AREA.......

TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN HOLDING A MICROPHONE AND STANDING WITH SEBASTIAN CAIN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM.

Todd Grisham: "Sebastian, later tonight you will be part of a huge six-man tag team match that will have plenty of WrestleMania flavor in it. One of the men in the match is the man you will defend the King of Cable title against, Richard Ramsley. What makes you think Ramsley chose to target you"?

Sebastian Cain: "Ramsley and I came up together..... around the same time. We used to talk about making it big, even forming a tag team someday. But for some reason, he didn't like the person I became when I got here. If you remember, one of my goals upon entering the TWF was to clean this place up and ever since, I've ran into one sicko after another. First, it's a guy messing with my family life. Now, it's this nutjob, Ramsley. But you see, Richard, I see through your little facade. I see through all your so-called pain and suffering. Remember when your mother used to say, stop crying before I give you something to cry about? Well it's too late for that, Richard, because at WrestleMania..... I'm gonna give you something to cry about".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE LANCE CADE STANDS INSIDE WAITING HIS OPPOSITION.

"KENNEDYYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND MR. KENNEDY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO A LOUD CHEER.

J.R.: "That six man tag team match comes up later, King and boy will that be a good one".

Lawler: "Oh yeah! Money Mike, Richard Ramsley and Sean O'Haire taking on J.J. Ramplin, Sebastian Cain and Chris Tirpak"!

J.R.: "Also still to come tonight, King, the announcement of the TWF Hall of Fame Class of 2009"!

Lawler: "Oh I can't wait to see who gets inducted this year but first, we've got Mister Kennedy in action"!

Mr. Kennedy vs. Lance Cade

This match started with your basic chain wrestling and both men made a few quick pin attempts but nothing yielded more than a 1 count. Kennedy finally connected with a jumping enziguri that put Cade on the mat and after a nice snap suplex, he tried to get him on his shoulders, perhaps for the "Green Bay Plunge". But Cade was able to elbow his way free and after spinning Kennedy around, he delivered a harsh DDT. Cade rolled him over and got the 2 count. He pulled Kennedy up and shot him to the corner before hitting the ropes himself and scoring with a perfect jumping bulldog. He rolled Kennedy over and got 1........2............., but that was all from referee Scott Martin. Cade smacked his right arm, signaling he wanted to go for his Lariat clothesline but after hitting the ropes, he was kicked in the stomach by Kennedy who then grabbed him by the back of his head and pulled him to the mat with the "Mic Check". The fans loudly popped as Kennedy rolled Cade over and hooked the leg as he covered him for the 1..........2........3!

J.R.: "A good win for Kennedy who had a little trouble there with Cade but was able to pull it out".

Lawler: "And how he's asking for the microphone"!

KENNEDY's MUSIC WAS PLAYING BUT HE QUICKLY MOTIONED FOR IT TO BE STOPPED AS LILIAN GARCIA HANDED HIM HER MICROPHONE.

Mr. Kennedy: "So..... this is the last show before WrestleMania X. As of right now, the man who not only main evented WrestleMania last year but also became World champion is not on the card this year.

THE CROWD BOOS

Anyone know who that is? He happens to go by the name of Misterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy................................ Kennedy"!

Lawler: (laughs) "Might as well have some fun, Kennedy".

Kennedy: "So..... I've decided to take matters into my own hands. I figure I can't win the World title again this year and I can't compete in the WrestleMania Jackpot but damnit..... I can kick someone's ass!

THE FANS CHEER

So if there is anyone back there who doesn't have a match at WrestleMania and would like to have a crack at the one, the only, Mist...........

JUST THEN, A VOICE CHIMES IN.

Voice: "Kennedy....... Kennedy...... over here".

KENNEDY TURNS AROUND IN ALL DIRECTIONS BUT SEES NOTHING.

Lawler: "What the heck? Who is that"?

Voice: "I'm up here.........

FINALLY, THE ARENA SPOTLIGHT SHOWS PJ CASH SITTING UP IN SECTION 9N.

Yeah..... I'm up here. Looks like the rumors were true".

Kennedy: "How the hell did you know I was gonna issue a challenge? I thought somebody from Rampage would be out here".

PJ Cash: "I have my sources and I beat all those Rampage guys to it. WrestleMania is one of the few times of the year that Rampage guys can get in there with PrimeTime guys and I know you think you should be part of WrestleMania, but as of right now, this company has left the PrimeTime Prodigy off the card"!

Kennedy: "Oh.... well you know how we can settle that..... you and me.... at WrestleMania"!

A NOTICEABLE GRIN FORMS ON CASH's FACE.

PJ Cash: "Sounds like fun..... see ya there".

Kennedy: "Well come on down because you're the next contestant on the price is an asswhoopin'"!

J.R.: "Strong words from Kennedy as he and PJ Cash have just agreed to face off at WrestleMania"!

Lawler: "WrestleMania is literally getting bigger by the minute"!

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, MONEY MIKE IS TALKING TO EDDIE SAINT JAMES IN THE BACK BUT SEEMS TO BE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THROUGH TO HIM AS HE IS WITH MONICA.

Money Mike: "I need you ready.... this isn't a joke man. You guys are facing Rhodes and Dibiase now so you two better spend a little less time in the bedroom and a little more time preparing for this match".

Eddie Saint James: "A little less time in the bedroom? I thought I was supposed to be one of those "less fortunate".

THE SAINT PUTS HIS ARM AROUND MONICA AND THEY WALK AWAY, LAUGHING. MIKE TURNS AROUND TO SEE JASON OLIVER STANDING JUST FEET AWAY.

Jason Oliver: "Heh.... can't get a hold of your team, huh? That sounds a little familiar but trust me, my boys will be ready".

Money Mike: "Ya know, I'd like to say something negative to you right now, but if you are able to actually defeat Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania..... you'll finally be where you thought you were like three years ago. Good luck".

MONEY MIKE WALKS BY OLIVER AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING.

CODY RHODES IS SHOWN GETTING LOOSE IN THE RING AS "PRICELESS" PLAYS AGAIN.

THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "SEXY BOY" STRIKES UP AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES UP FROM THE BACK, DOING HIS TRADEMARK DANCE TO THE RING.

J.R.: "Welcome back to TWF Rampage live here on the USA network and we are in the middle of a very big show on the road to WrestleMania"!

Lawler: "And one of the most anticipated matches for this year's WrestleMania is the one between the Heartbreak Kid and Jason Oliver"!

J.R.: "Shawn Michaels will get his chance to take on the self proclaimed King of Sting but first, he's gotta face Cody Rhodes who has his own motivation now that he's part of WrestleMania, challenging for the Rampage Tag Team titles".

Shawn Michaels vs. Cody Rhodes

Michaels got into the ring and went right after Rhodes, showing an eagerness to be aggressive. After several hard right hands knocked Rhodes to a seated position in the corner, referee Jim Korderas pulled HBK away to earn a break. Michaels went back in but Rhodes drove his head into his abdomen and got up, drilling Michaels with a european uppercut. Rhodes would control the next several minutes of the match and he had Michaels in a lot of trouble after delivering a wicked reverse neckreaker in which he dropped the back of HBK's head right on his knee. Rhodes went for the cover but Michaels was up at 2 and a half. Rhodes pulled him up and rocked him with a right hand but Michaels blocked another attempt and landed 3 hard rights of his own. Michaels then went for an irish whip but Rhodes reversed it only to have Michaels dive through his legs and hit an inverted atomic drop. After Michaels dropped Rhodes with a flying forearm, Ted Dibiase was at ringside with a steel chair. Michaels invited him into the ring and Dibiase got on the apron only to have Michaels kick the chair right in his face! He then picked up the chair and smashed it over the head of Rhodes, causing Korderas to call for the bell! Even though he'd been disqualified, the crowd was still loudly cheering for HBK!

Match Time: 7:03

Lawler: "Look at this..... Shawn Michaels has lost it"!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, here comes Jason Oliver".

JASON OLIVER SNUCK DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND MICHAELS SAW HIM BUT HE TURNED AROUND WHEN DIBIASE GOT IN THE RING. MICHAELS TURNED AND JUST THREW THE CHAIR INTO THE FACE OF DIBIASE BUT WHEN HE TURNED AROUND, OLIVER SMASHED HIM WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK! THE FANS BOOED AS OLIVER STOOD OVER MICHAELS.

Lawler: "He got him again! Jason Oliver has laid out Shawn Michaels with another superkick"!

J.R.: "Well he said he wanted to send another message to HBK tonight and I guess this was his way of doing it"!

"FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN PLAYED AND THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED AS OLIVER LEFT THE RING ALONG WITH RHODES AND DIBIASE, WHO WERE STILL LICKING THEIR WOUNDS.

Lawler: "It's the Kickstart against the Sweet Chin Music! I think I like the Kickstart myself".

J.R.: "Well thus far, it is prevailing".

BACKSTAGE.......

ROWDY RODDY PIPER IS SHOWN IN THE BACK DOING SOME SHADOW BOXING WHEN JOHN CENA WALKS UP.

John Cena: "Whoa.... calm down, killer".

Rowdy Roddy Piper: "Ah.... Cena..... what brings you to the A show, huh"?

PIPER AND CENA SHAKE HANDS.

Cena: "I really want to see what my WrestleMania opponent is capable of these days, but are you sure you want to do this"?

Piper: "Hey.... I heard Hogan wanted a warm up match and a warm up match he's gonna get. I couldn't think of a better opponent than yours truly. There's still a little bad blood there, so he's gonna get a lot more than a warm up".

Cena (shakes his head): "Alright, man, see ya out there".

CENA WALKS AWAY.

J.R.: "Well believe it or not, that match will take place later tonight and that brings us to one of our favorite parts of the year, King".

Lawler: "That's right, it's time to announce the 2009 Hall of Fame class! This is gonna be good"!

J.R.: "Unlike year's past, we will announce the entire class all at once. Here they are..... your TWF Hall of Fame class of 2009 inductees"!

BACK TO LIVE ACTION............

THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES IS HEARD AND ROWDY RODDY PIPER COMES OUT WITH A SMUG LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HE RECEIVES A VERY BIG CHEER.

J.R.: "Fans, do not adjust your television sets. This is not Rock N' Wrestling, this is TWF Rampage and Rowdy Roddy Piper, our current general manager, is coming to the ring to face his arch nemesis".

Lawler: "And he looks ready, doesn't he"?

JOHN CENA IS SHOWN SITTING AT RINGSIDE, JUST IN FRONT OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE.

J.R.: "John Cena will has the best seat in the house here so he can watch his WrestleMania opponent who is just about to come out".

MOMENTS LATER, "REAL AMERICAN" COMES ON AND HULK HOGAN COMES OUT TO AN INSANE POP.

Lawler: "My gosh.... listen to this place"!

J.R.: "Hulk Hogan is still as popular as he ever was..... it's like he never left"!

Lawler: "Look at Cena.... he's even enjoying the response"!

CENA IS SHOWN GIVING HOGAN A STANDING OVATION AS HE COMES INTO THE RING AND RIPS HIS YELLOW SHIRT OFF. BUT PIPER GIVES HIM NO MORE TIME TO SHOW OFF TO THE CROWD, ATTACKING HIM FROM BEHIND.

Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Hulk Hogan

Piper was all over Hogan as the bell sounded but his offensive wouldn't last long. Hogan was able to block a right hand and send Piper to the ropes for a big clothesline after 3 right hands of his own. Hogan then loaded Piper up for a suplex but Piper easily blocked it and poked Hogan right in the eyes. From there, Piper slapped on the sleeper hold and the crowd was stunned as he was putting Hogan away. But moments later, Hogan "hulked up" and Piper couldn't contain his rage. After elbowing his way free from the sleeper, Hogan landed 2 more right hands before whipping Piper to the ropes and connecting with a big boot. Hogan wanted to deliver the legdrop but Piper rolled out of the ring and refused to come back, just taking the count out.

Match Time: 3:40

Lawler: "I don't know if Hogan would've been able to deliver that legdrop, J.R., I don't know if he's up to that anymore"!

J.R.: "Well Piper has had all he wants but I can tell ya this, Hogan will get a hell of a lot more fight out of John Cena"!

AS "REAL AMERICAN" PLAYS, CENA GETS INTO THE RING AND STOPS HOGAN's TRADEMARK "CUPPING THE EAR" POSE. THE MUSIC STOPS AS HOGAN AND CENA EXCHANGE SOME WORDS.

Lawler: "What do you think they're saying"?

"THE TIME IS NOW" STARTS UP BEFORE CENA LEAVES THE RING.

J.R.: "Only the two of them will know, but Cena has his game face on and I can't wait for this one".

Lawler: "It's easy to say that Cena is the favorite with youth on his side, but can the Hulkster reach down deep, just one more time, at the biggest event of all time"?

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

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

WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH RICHARD RAMSLEY AND SEAN O'HAIRE.

Money Mike: "Yeah, so I know you guys both have business to take care of out there tonight. Just leave Ramplin to me....... it's time to show him he's not in my league".

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING FOR THE 6 MAN TAG.

*** ENTRANCES WERE LEFT OUT DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS.

6 Man Tag Team Match

J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin, Sebastian Cain and Chris Tirpak vs. Money Mike, Richard Ramsley and Sean O'Haire

This was just a wild brawl previewing WrestleMania. The match started with Cain and Ramplin in a 2 on 3 disadvantage. Chris Tirpak then came through the crowd, wielding the kendo stick. He entered the ring and dropped the weapon before catching O'Haire with a big clothesline. Tirpak and Cain then combined to toss Money Mike over the top rope and Ramplin followed. The Ram and Mike brawled outside the ring while inside, referee Jack Doan tried to gain control. He was able to get O'Haire and Tirpak as the legal men in the ring but outside, the fight was still going. Tirpak had O'Haire up for the "Lights Out" but Ramsley came into the ring and took Tirpak out with a chop block to the back of his left knee. Cain came into the ring and traded with Ramsley, knocking him into the corner with a right hand but O'Haire was able to pull Cain away and the former rivals went at it. O'Haire got in a thumb to the eyes before Ramsley drove Cain into the mat with a DDT. Ramsley then got back to his corner to legally accept the tag from O'Haire. Outside the ring, Ramplin was able to reverse a whip from Mike, sending him hard into the stairs. In the ring, Tirpak ducked a clothesline from Ramsley before kicking him hard in the abdomen and slapping the hand of Ramplin. The fans loudly cheered as The Ram dropped Ramsley with consecutive clotheslines. But as O'Haire distracted Doan, Ramplin ran the ropes and was cracked in the back by the kendo stick..... swung by Money Mike! Ramsley then hit a nasty STO takedown on Ramplin and covered him for a huge victory.

Match Time: 7:38

Lawler: "That's it..... Richard Ramsley pins The Ram"!

J.R.: "Yeah, after Money Mike lambasted him with that kendo stick! Don't forget to throw that in"!

"HEY MAN, NICE SHOT" BY FILTER PLAYS AS RAMSLEY, O'HAIRE AND MONEY MIKE LEAVE THE RING TO PLENTY OF BOOS.

Lawler: "Money Mike wanted to prove that he's in a league way past J.J. Ramplin and look who is on the mat looking up at the lights"!

J.R: "Well at WrestleMania, Money Mike won't have any tag team partners and he sure as hell won't have a kendo stick! We'll see if he's able to prove his theory then"!

BACKSTAGE......

TROY GAFGEN IS SHOWN IN THE BACK TAPING HIS WRISTS WHEN RANDY ORTON COMES UP.

Randy Orton: "Troy Gafgen...... Randy Orton, Legend Killer..... pleasure to meet you".

ORTON EXTENDS HIS HAND AND GAFGEN SHAKES IT.

Gafgen (smiling): "Heh.... I know you're probably here to give me advice on how to face Travis Wakeman tonight and give me the pep talk about how you want me to soften him up for WrestleMania, right? Well in case you haven't noticed, I've been takin' guys out left and right and at WrestleMania, I........

Orton: "Shut up! I don't care what you do tonight..... just make sure that after the match..... you stay out of our way".

ORTON WALKS AWAY AS GAFGEN HEADS OFF TOWARD THE RING.

Lawler: "Our way? What the heck is he talking about"?

J.R.: "In a matter of moments, we are going to see Travis Wakeman compete for the first time since he rattled the TWF with his announcement of a life threatening disease. Will he be able to put that aside for his WrestleMania main event match with Randy Orton to win the TWF World title"?

Lawler: "I can't wait to find that out, J.R., but what a massive event WrestleMania 10 is shaping up to be"!

J.R. AND THE KING RUN DOWN THE ENTIRE CARD FOR WRESTLEMANIA AS PROMO GRAPHICS FOR EACH MATCH POP UP ON THE SCREEN.

"INSIDE THE FIRE" BY DISTURBED COMES ON AND TROY GAFGEN IS OUT FROM THE BACK TO MOSTLY BOOS.

J.R.: "In years past, that WrestleMania Jackpot has proven to be as unpredictable and exciting as any match we have all year long".

Lawler: "And this guy here was the first guy to get his name entered, using the privilege he earned by winning the New Year's Battle royale"!

J.R.: "But will that translate into a guaranteed future title shot? We'll have to wait and see".

"ENTER SANDMAN" COMES ON AND PLAYS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS.......

Lawler: "Where is he? I thought he said he was fine".

MOMENTS LATER, WAKEMAN EMERGES FROM THE BACK WITH THE ECW WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. THE CROWD LOUDLY APPLAUDS AND THEY ARE ALL ON THEIR FEET. WAKEMAN LOOKS INTO THE CROWD BEFORE REMOVING THE BELT FROM AROUND HIS WAIST AND CHARGING THE RING.

J.R.: "Oh here we go"!

THE SECOND WAKEMAN GETS INTO THE RING, GAFGEN IS ALL OVER HIM.

Non-Title Match

Troy Gafgen vs. ECW World champ: Travis Wakeman

Gafgen put the boots to Wakeman before picking him up and whipping him to the ropes, drilling him with a clothesline. "Look at your man now"! shouted Gafgen, pointing at Wakeman before stomping right on his face. As the beating continued, a very worried Melina made her way out to ringside. She yelled for Gafgen to stop but he just continued to stomp away at Wakeman. He then went to the ropes and had some unkind words for Melina, who appeared to be in tears. Gafgen turned around but Wakeman exploded into him with a double leg takedown before pounding him with several shots to the head. Wakeman had become like a man possessed, wearing Gafgen out. Finally, he got him up for the "Royal Flush", driving him into the mat. But as Wakeman looked out into the cheering crowd, he just shook his head. He wasn't finished. He got Gafgen up and delivered the Royal Flush again. A chant of "One more time" broke out as a grin formed on Wakeman's face to go with the psychotic look in his eyes. He got Gafgen up again. Boom! A third Royal Flush! Wakeman then mounted Gafgen, who was totally out of it, and drove forearm after forearm into his face before referee Jim Korderas pulled Wakeman off and called for the bell. He had awarded the match to Wakeman.

Match Time: 6:58

J.R.: "Wow, how often do ya see that? The referee has stopped this match".

Lawler: "He kept the safety of Troy Gafgen in mind and if I was Gafgen, I'd be sending a thank you card to Korderas..... Wakeman had lost his mind"!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, here comes Randy Orton".

WAKEMAN STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AS ORTON SLOWLY APPROACHED. WAKEMAN WAS CHOMPING AT THE BIT AS HE WAITED.

Lawler: "Oh, J.R., look at this"!

JUST THEN, WAKEMAN CAUGHT A LOW BLOW FROM BEHIND FROM...... MELINA! ORTON THEN RAN TO THE RING AND DELIVERED THE "RKO" WHEN WAKEMAN TRIED TO STAND UP!

J.R.: "What in the hell is going on?! Please tell me that lovely young girl has done this"!

Lawler: "Melina has turned on Wakeman, J.R., I can't believe it"!

ORTON PICKED UP THE ECW WORLD TITLE AND DROPPED IT ON THE CHEST OF WAKEMAN AS "VOICES" BEGAN TO PLAY. HE AND MELINA STOOD OVER WAKEMAN AS THE CROWD HASTILY BOOED.

J.R.: "This is........ this is just unbelievable".

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