THE SHOT OPENS INSIDE THE NATIONWIDE ARENA WHICH IS INCREDIBLY LOUD BETWEEN THE CHEERS OF THE CROWD AND THE OPENING PYRO. ONCE THE PYRO STOPS, "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK COMES OUT TO A MOSTLY NEGATIVE RESPONSE, BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME PUNK FANS IN THE HOUSE.

Jim Ross: "We welcome you live to TWF Rampage where we are in Columbus, Ohio and here comes the man who outlasted twenty nine other men to win the Royal Rumble"!

Jerry Lawler: "Actually he didn't really outlast anyone, J.R.. Punk may be more fortunate than anything first drawing number thirty and only eliminating one superstar, but that was all he needed"!

J.R.: "Fortune definitely plays a role in the Royal Rumble and always has but now that this man has what he has, which is a guaranteed main event match at WrestleMania, he's a threat to whichever champion who chooses to challenge"!

PUNK ENTERS THE RING AND GETS A MICROPHONE BEFORE STARING INTO THE CROWD ON THE HARD CAMERA SIDE WITH A GRIN ON HIS FACE.

CM Punk: "Ya know, they say that good things come to those who wait. And I'd like to say that I agree with that..... but I don't! I have been here for how long now?! I am as good as anyone who has ever competed inside a TWF ring and I have gotten a grand total of zero title shots! So, I could have continued to stand idly by, waiting for that opportunity to come..... or I could have grabbed that opportunity by the throat the way I did at the Royal Rumble! See, I'm tired of toiling around the mid card, facing guys like Troy Gafgen and some jackass named the Diamond Spider.... who isn't even here anymore because he sucked so bad! It's time I'm shown the respect that I deserve and that will only happen in the main event! It's just sad that instead of having that awarded to me..... I had to go and take it! So I..................

JUST THEN, "THE DROWNING" BY THE HAUNTED COMES ON AND RICHARD RAMSLEY COMES OUT, HOLDING A MICROPHONE.

Richard Ramsley: (As he walks down the ramp) "Tell me you're not saying what I think you're saying. Tell me you're not taking shots at your status here in the TWF which in turn would mean you're taking shots at me".

CM Punk: "Ya know what, Ramsley, I was going to talk to you behind closed doors, but since you want this to be out in public, that's fine with me too. Ya see, Richie, you seem to think that I am some sort of lackey for you.... some sort of right hand man. CM Punk is nobody's lackey"!

Richard Ramsley: "First of all, no one calls me Richie! We have a good thing going, Punk, don't do......

CM Punk: "A good thing for who.... you?! Look, I saw Gafgen was a complete tool, but even he had the sense to get away from you're downtrodden, always in the dumps ass! I'm not going to.......

Richard Ramsley: "Punk.... think about what you're saying here..... you need me".

CM Punk: "Oh come on, what do I need you for"?!

SUDDENLY "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

Sebastian Cain: "Hmmmm..... what's going on here..... a little troubled waters? I'd say you guys better piece things together because my little Scottish servant and I plan on beating you in the main event tonight! Punk..... I can't say whether you need Ramsley around or not, but I do know that not long ago we faced each other and he sure didn't prevent you from losing....... to me. See you guys later".

"BLACK" PLAYS AGAIN AS PUNK AND RAMSLEY, NOW STANDING SIDE BY SIDE, STARE BACK AT CAIN.

J.R.: "What a tag team main event we have and it was just made even more interesting"!

Lawler: "Well how do things stand between CM Punk and Richard Ramsley stand?! Punk just said he doesn't need him"!

J.R.: "We have a huge show in store tonight, folks, so don't go away, we'll be right back"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.........

A COMMERCIAL FOR BOOST MOBILE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE "THE HANGOVER PART 2".

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

AS SOON AS RAMPAGE RETURNS FROM BREAK, "LINE IN THE SAND" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND NICK DANIELS COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE IS MET BY A NEGATIVE RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD.

J.R.: "We are back here on Rampage and we are ready to get into our first match of the night. By the way fans, it may be a peaceful night here in Columbus as the key players from The Empire, Travis Wakeman, Trish Stratus, Money Mike and the Billion Dollar Princess Stephanie McMahon are said to be vacationing in Mexico. Here comes the self proclaimed Chosen One.... what do you make of this guy, King"?

Lawler: "Well he's obviously been very impressive but I need to see a little bit more. I know he came in here bragging about the twenty-some titles here and there but that's not good enough to be a star here in the TWF. But I'll tell ya, I can only imagine how luxurious that trip to Mexico has been for The Empire. I hear they left straight from the Royal Rumble and went south of the border"!

THE FANS LOUDLY POP WHEN "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" PLAYS AND CHRISTIAN EMERGES FROM THE BACK, USING HIS HAND TO PEER OUT INTO THE CROWD.

J.R.: "This will be a great test for Daniels against the veteran Christian who I'm sure would love to hand him his first defeat".

Lawler: "Oh there is no doubt he would but Daniels is challenging Christian to get into the ring.... he's ready for this one"!

"The Chosen One" Nick Daniels vs. Christian

Daniels used his hand to motion Christian into the ring and when Christian responded by getting in, Daniels tried to get the jump on him. Christian, however, was ready. Catching the foot of Daniels on a kick attempt, Christian threw the foot down and popped Daniels with some quick right hands. He then grabbed him and whipped him to the ropes. Daniels ducked a clothesline but after hitting the ropes on the other side, Christian caught him with a back elbow. After a low dropkick looked like it knocked Daniels silly, Christian made a cover and got a 2 count. Christian pulled him up and backed him into the corner, nailing some kicks to the midsection. Christian then went up to the middle turnbuckle and began to fire down some right hands but Daniels got two handfuls of tights and dropped Christian on the back of his head with a powerbomb. Daniels stacked him up in a cover but Christian was able to push out of the pin at the count of 2. Daniels got him up and began to trash talk Christian, ramming his head into the turnbuckle multiple times. He then grabbed Christian in a front facelock, dragging him to the middle of the ring. After delivering a 'Rude Awakening' style neckbreaker, Daniels again went for the cover and again got a 2 count. He yanked Christian up and was clearly frustrated as he did. He pushed Christian into the corner and leveled him with a right hand before turning him around. Daniels then lifted Christian up for a backdrop suplex but Christian flipped off his shoulder, landing on his feet. He then grabbed both arms and quickly hit the "Killswitch". He rolled Daniels over and topped him. Just like that, the match was over after a 3 count was registered by referee Scott Martin.

Match Time: 3:07

J.R.: "Ohhhhh that came out of nowhere"!

Lawler: "I think Nick Daniels may have gotten a little too cocky there, J.R.! That Killswitch may have just told him that competition is a lot more stiff here in the TWF"!

"JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" PLAYED AS CHRISTIAN CELEBRATED THE WIN IN THE RING, IN FRONT OF THE CHEERING FANS.

J.R.: "A setback for Daniels and a huge win for Christian"!

BACKSTAGE.......

IN THE BACK, CAMERAS ARE FOLLOWING KELLY, WHO IS IN SEARCH OF GINA CARANO. SHE COMES UP ON NATALYA, WHO IS TALKING WITH MARIA.

Kelly: "Hey, have you guys seen Gina tonight? I really don't want to go out there to face Kayla and that...... that..... thing she has with her".

Maria: "I haven't seen here tonight".

Natalya: "But if we do, we'll be sure to tell her that you're looking for her".

Kelly: "Thanks guys...........

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, DREW McINTYRE IS SHOWN SITTING IN A DRESSING ROOM WHEN SEBASTIAN CAIN ENTERS.

Sebastian Cain: "You ready for our match tonight"?

Drew McIntyre: "Do I have a choice"?

Sebastian Cain: "Look..... things aren't going to get easier for you. But, you're on strike two after what you did at the Royal Rumble with the whole number thing".

Drew McIntyre: "I...............

Sebastian Cain: "Save it..... I don't want to hear what you have to say. Just remember that if I fire you as my personal servant..... you no longer have a job here in the TWF".

CAIN GETS UP AND LEAVES THE ROOM. THE CAMERA SLOWLY ZOOMS IN ON AN OBVIOUSLY SEETHING McINTYRE.

"WITH LEGS LIKE THAT" BY ZEBRAHEAD PLAYS OUT TO THE SOLD OUT CROWD AS THE LOVELY MARIA MAKES HER WAY TO THE RING BY HERSELF. SHE IS ALL SMILES AS SHE WAVES TO THE CROWD AND CLIMBS INTO THE RING. SHE ASKS FOR A MICROPHONE AS SOON AS SHE STEPS IN.

J.R.: "King, we saw an all out war between Jason Oliver, Randy Orton and Matt Cruz at the Royal Rumble with the man from the Rocky Mountains emerging victorious. While it's always great to see Maria out here, you have to wonder where the new TWF Champion is at the moment".

Lawler: "As long as Maria is out here, I don't care if Cruz ever comes out here! I've heard her legs have been called the "Stairway to Heaven". Do you think that's true, JR?"

J.R.: "No comment, Uncle Jerry."

Maria: "Let me hear ya, Columbus! (the crowd loudly cheers) The Royal Rumble was a great event, topped off by the fact that my man, the best wrestler in the TWF, Matt Cruz, regained his World title! (the cheers louder still.) We've both been through a lot at the hands of certain individuals leading up to this, so we both wanted to thank all of you for your support.........

IN MID SENTENCE "FLY FROM THE INSIDE" BY SHINEDOWN INTERRUPTS HER AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS THE IMPENDING ENTRANCE OF JASON OLIVER.

J.R.: "Jason Oliver is on his way out here and that disgusting human being better not lay a finger on that young lady!"

Lawler: "Uh, I think it would best if you left the ring right now, Maria."

MARIA HAS A LOOK OF FEAR ON HER FACE AT FIRST, BUT AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF THE ENTRANCE, OUT COMES MATT CRUZ, SPORTING A FAKE GOATEE, BLACK LEATHER PANTS, AND A BEAT UP MOTLEY CRUE T-SHIRT. HE HAS A BOTTLE OF WATER IN HIS HAND AND HE WAS DABBING HIS EYES WITH IT, TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE HE WAS CRYING. MARIA TRIED TO MAINTAIN HER LOOK OF FEAR, BUT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME NOT SMIRKING AT CRUZ'S EXAGGERATED MANNERISMS.

Lawler: "What in the hell?"

J.R.: (chuckling) "What's wrong, King? We're being joined by the former World champ, Jason Oliver".

Lawler: "Oh please. Only Cruz would kick a man when he's down like this!"

CRUZ TRIPS OVER THE BOTTOM ROPE, PURPOSELY MOCKING OLIVER. AS HE GETS UP, HE UNHOOKS THE WORLD TITLE FROM HIS WAIST AND PUTS IT IN THE CORNER. HE THEN GRABS A MICROPHONE TO SPEAK.

(In a bad Canadian accent) Matt Cruz: "I lost the title again? What's that all aboot? (Maria laughs, but tries to maintain her serious look) Even though I lay awake at night, fantasizing about the time I kissed you.... (Cruz/Oliver stares off into space with a blank look on his face, Maria than snaps her fingers to break the trance he was in.) Sorry, lost my focus for a bit. I came out here to beg you to ask Mr. Cruz for another shot at the title. (Cruz/Oliver gets on his knees and claps his hands together to beg.) Please, I beg you. Without the TWF title, all I have in my life is bootleg copies of Skid Row concerts and the DVD of my childhood crush Tommy Lee and his wife Pamela Anderson. That DVD is the only reason I became a Motley Crue fan, don't ya know".

MARIA HAS LOOK OF MOCK DISDAIN, PLAYING ALONG WITH THE PARODY.

Maria: "Get up, you weirdo! (Cruz/Oliver jumps up.) If you think you're getting another shot at the title, you must be on crack! That, or you are incredibly stupid!"

Matt Cruz: "I swear to God I'm not on crack! (the crowd roars with laughter.) I can pass any drug test you give me. My pee is completley clean, and according to Rob Storm, a little salty!"

J.R.: "Oh God!"

Lawler: "I'm sorry..... this is too much".

J.R.: "Yeah, but it's hilarious!"

AFTER THAT LAST COMMENT, CRUZ TEARS OFF THE FAKE GOATEE AND RIPS OFF THE MOTLEY CRUE T-SHIRT. HE PICKS UP THE WORLD TITLE BELT AND SLINGS IT OVER HIS SHOULDER. HE AND MARIA SHARE A QUICK EMBRACE AND KISS. THEY THEN BOW TO THE CROWD AFTER THEIR PERFOMANCE. THE CROWD IN COLUMBUS GIVES THEM A ROARING OVATION.

Matt Cruz: "All right, now that the comedy relief is done, I do have something to say. Oliver, I'm getting a little sick of seeing you up in my face, week in and week out. You're like a mosquito that just refuses to get swat. Now that I've taken my title back from you, I think I've officially swatted you! You want another shot at me and the belt, get in line. After I ref your match with Orton, our business is done. I'm ready to move on to bigger and badder things........

JUST THEN, MONEY MIKE APPEARS ON THE BIG SCREEN, LIVE FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY LAVISH HOTEL ROOM.

MONEY MIKE: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Cruz. What makes you think you can make that decision? In case you've forgotten, The Empire runs things around here! (the crowd loudly boos this) Now, you say you're done with Oliver, well, we'll take that under advisement and get back to you. We allowed you to ref the match between Orton and Oliver tonight, so don't push your luck. As for who your next challenger for that World title is, well, you'll know in due time. We have several possibilities in mind. Just make sure to call the match down the middle. I saw the begininng of the "bromance" between you and Orton after the match at the Rumble. If you favor Orton in any way during the match, there will be some serious consequences coming your way, mark my words. Now take that tramp you call a girlfriend and get out of our ring!"

THE SCREEN GOES BLANK, AS THE CROWD STILL IS BOOING. CRUZ AND MARIA JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS.,p> Matt Cruz: "Mark my words, dude, you still smell like three different kinds of ass crack after the ride Edge and Rockwell gave you! And where you get off talking about Maria like that is beyond me. I hear Stephanie's vagina is nicknamed "The Limo". By that I mean it fits 8, has plenty of leg room, and the Empire came in it tonight! But that's beside the point. I'm insulted that you think I won't call the match down the middle. Whoever wins that match is going to earn it, you have my guarantee!"

"THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYS OUT AS THE WORLD CHAMP AND MARIA ACKNOWLEDGE THE CROWD AND EXIT THE RING.

J.R.: "Wow what a main event that's gonna be, King..... Randy Orton versus Jason Oliver with the World champ as the guest referee".

Lawler: "Well after that ludicrous display by Matt Cruz, I can see Oliver getting disqualified tonight for attacking the referee"!

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

A COMMERCIAL FOR FRONTIER AIRLINES AND ONE FOR "L.A. NOIRE" FOR ALL MAJOR GAMING SYSTEMS ARE SHOWN.

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

CRIS HENNING AND TIFFANIE ARE SHOWN SITTING IN THE ROOM THAT HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR THE EMPIRE SUITE. MATT MORGAN IS STANDING IN THE ROOM AS WELL, WHICH IS SMALLER THAN USUAL. HENNING HAS HIS FEET UP ON THE DESK AND IS SIFTING THROUGH A STACK OF PAPERS.

Tiffanie: "I really don't think you should mess with anything...... they asked us to just make sure the show runs smoothly".

Cris Henning: "Oh I don't think they'll mind if I make a few...... minor adjustments".

JUST THEN, THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. A PIZZA DELIVERY MAN ENTERS THE ROOM WITH 6 OR 7 PIZZAS. HENNING's EYES LIGHT UP BEFORE HE HANDS THE DELIVERY MAN A WAD OF CASH WHICH HE TAKES OUT OF A SMALL BOX.

Tiffanie: "I sure hope you know what you're doing".

"HIT EM UP" BY THREE SIX MAFIA PLAYS AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, BRINGING TODD JOHNSTON OUT TO A MILD CHEER.

J.R.: "Well I'm not sure what Cris Henning is doing back there, but who the hell is gonna eat all those pizzas"?!

Lawler: "Well when the cat's away the mice will play.... that's what that situation looks like to me".

J.R.: "We didn't get a chance to see Todd Johnston in the Royal Rumble match after he failed to qualify but the Indiana native is ready for a big chance to shine here tonight".

"CAN'T BE TOUCHED" BY ROY JONES COMES ON AND OUT COMES CJ LETHAL, LED TO THE RING BY JAKE ROBERTS. EVEN THE PRESENCE OF THE HALL OF FAMER ROBERTS CAN'T STOP LETHAL FROM BEING BOOED.

Lawler: "Well this man on the other hand did qualify for the Rumble and I expected big things from him but as we saw, he was the very first man eliminated in that match".

J.R.: "Two of the young grizzly bears here on Rampage are ready to do battle here. The irresistible force meeting the immovable object as the late, great Gorilla Monsoon would say".

Todd Johnston vs. CJ Lethal w/ Jake Roberts

This wasn't much of a scientific contest as the two big men locked horns in the center of the ring, looking to overpower the other. Lethal, with a big height advantage, was able to counter an attempt to get him off the ground by Johnston with a hammering fist to the back. Lethal then shot Johnston to the ropes, kicking him in the face. Lethal then aggressively pulled Johnston up and delivered a harsh sidewalk slam. He hooked a leg and made a pin attempt but Johnston was up at 2. Roberts yelled instructions from outside the ring as Lethal got Johnston up and shot him to the corner, barreling in with a stiff clothesline. Johnston fell to a seated position before Lethal used his foot, pushing Johnston to the mat. He then grabbed his right leg and pulled him to the mat, driving 2 big elbows into his chest. Roberts seemed to be signaling for something and Lethal got Johnston back up, grabbing him in a front facelock. It looked like Lethal was actually going to use the DDT but instead, Johnston countered with an amazing northern lights suplex. The massive Lethal got up and ran right into a belly to belly and the crowd was going wild. Johnston waited for Lethal to get up, grabbing him and wrapping his arms around his waist from behind. A german suplex was definitely coming but Lethal swung an elbow back into the left eye of Johnston, knocking him for a loop. He then grabbed his arm and shot him to the ropes but Johnston ducked a clothesline and came off the other side, running through Lethal with a vicious spear. Johnston quickly went into a cover, hooking a leg and getting the 3 count from referee Jose Mendez!

Match Time: 6:31

J.R.: "Wow..... just like that it's over"!

Lawler: "Todd Johnston just showed some explosiveness that we haven't seen in awhile here in the TWF..... if ever"!

"HIT EM UP" PLAYED AGAIN AS JOHNSTON LEFT THE RING TO SOME GOOD CHEERS WHILE IN THE RING, ROBERTS KNELT DOWN WITH LETHAL, WHO CLUTCHED HIS ABDOMEN, STILL LOOKING LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HIT HIM.

J.R.: "CJ Lethal seemed to be on cruise control but Todd Johnston could be a real diamond in the rough here, King.... this kid has potential"!

BACKSTAGE........

IN THE BACK, COURTNEY TAYLOR IS WITH CHRIS TIRPAK WHO HAS A VERY VISIBLE, HORRIBLE BRUISE ON HIS RIGHT SHOULDER.

Courtney Taylor: "Chris, you came up a little short in your ladder match with Axl Irvin at the Royal Rumble but tonight, you have a chance to get that belt right back in a Falls Count Anywhere match. How is that injured shoulder going to affect you"?

Chris Tirpak: "Ya know I'm not sure if The Empire respects us or if they're trying to kill Axl and I. But I know this.... I have been given a shot at the title again and bum shoulder or not...... I'll give it my all to get it back".

TIRPAK WALKS AWAY, SENDING THE SHOT BACK TO THE RING.

IN THE RING, "HELP I'M ALIVE" BY METRIC IS PLAYING AND KAYLA KARTER IS IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE AND SPORTING HER NEWLY WON TWF WOMEN's TITLE. WITH HER AS WELL IS THE MASSIVE WOMAN KNOWN AS KHARMA.

Kayla Karter: "Look at it and weep Gina Carano! (Kayla holds the belt up to the camera) I did this exactly the way I said I would! I came to the TWF saying that I would not be your average, prissy little diva! And now..... I've got someone who agrees with that philosophy one hundred percent! And the thing is, Gina...... Kharma is a real bitch"!

KAYLA HANDS KHARMA THE MICROPHONE AND KHARMA JUST LAUGHS INTO IT.

KELLY's MUSIC PLAYS AND THE CROWD CHEERS AS THE BLONDE BEAUTY MAKES HER WAY OUT FROM THE BACK BUT SHE SEEMS VERY NERVOUS.

Lawler: "Ya can't blame Kelly for questioning coming out here tonight, J.R..... I have never seen anything like this Kharma".

J.R.: "Yeah but Kelly's a competitor and regardless of those feelings, she's out here to compete".

Non-Title Match

Kelly vs. Women's Champion: Kayla Karter w/ Kharma

Kayla Karter took over right where she left off at the Royal Rumble and was all over Kelly. After a big snap suplex, Kayla dragged Kelly to her feet and popped her with some stiff forearms before whipping her to the ropes and nailing her with a spinning heel kick to the head. Kayla looked sharp and was pretty much toying with Kelly. But she got a little careless, pulling Kelly up after a bodyslam and Kelly came up with a small package to get a 2 count. Kayla ran at her and threw a clothesline but Kelly ducked and then ran the ropes, hitting a flying headscissor takedown. Kelly was starting to get a string of moves going, but she couldn't take her eyes off the imposing Kharma. Karter got up and Kelly charged her only to be put down with a spinebuster. A little surprised, Karter got up and was measuring Kelly for the "Kay Kick" but she missed it and Kelly knocked her into the corner with a dropkick. She then brought the crowd out of their seats with a perfect back handspring into an elbow. From there, she grabbed Kayla around the head and neck, looking for a bulldog but Kayla countered, throwing Kelly across the ring. She then struck with the Kay Kick and there would be no coming back from that as she rolled Kelly over and got the pin.

Match Time: 8:44

"HELP I'M ALIVE" STARTED TO PLAY BUT IT WAS QUICKLY CUT OFF WHEN GINA CARANO RAN OUT AND SLID INTO THE RING, DROPPING KARTER WITH A STIFF RIGHT HAND. KARTER LOOKED TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT BUT KHARMA CAME INTO THE RING, ATTACKING HER FROM BEHIND.

Lawler: "Shades of the Royal Rumble here, J.R..........

J.R.: "Kayla Karter won the title with the help of this woman and now she's all over Gina again"!

AFTER PULLING CARANO INTO A CLOTHESLINE, KHARMA PICKED HER UP AND DELIVERED A HUGE POWERBOMB! CARANO WAS MOTIONLESS. BOOS FOLLOWED AS "HELP I'M ALIVE" PLAYED AGAIN. KARTER HELD THE BELT UP WITH BOTH HANDS AS SHE AND KHARMA LOOKED DOWN AT BOTH CARANO AND KELLY.

Lawler: "Well you heard it earlier..... Kharma's a bitch"!

J.R.: "With this woman at her side, I can't imagine a scenario where Kayla Karter will lose that title! She could hold that for a long time, King".

THE SHOT FADES OUT AND GOES TO BREAK.

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

COMMERCIALS FOR BOTH SONIC DRIVE-IN AND MATCH.COM ARE SHOWN.

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

RAMPAGE RETURNS WITH THE CAMERA FOCUSED ON A SMOKE FILLED ENTRANCE. "I'M THE BOOGEYMAN..... AND I'M COMIN' TO GET YA" IS HEARD, LEADING INTO THE LAUGHTER FILLED THEME OF ONE HALF OF THE TWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. THE BOOGEYMAN COMES OUT OF THE SMOKE AND SMASHES AN OVERSIZED CLOCK AGAINST HIS HEAD. HE HAS HIS TAG TEAM BELT AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "We're back here on Rampage and ready for more in ring action. Here comes quite possibly the weirdest individual in TWF history, King".

Lawler: "Yes folks, don't change the channel, this is still TWF Rampage and not a bad episode of the Twilight Zone, I assure ya"!

J.R.: "The Boogeyman is of course one half of the TWF Tag Team champions and the longest reigning champions of any kind in TWF history, but he will have no tag team partner tonight".

BOOS FILL THE ARENA WHEN THE MUSIC OF SYLVESTER TERKAY COMES ON. HE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK WITH HIS USUAL NO NONSENSE LOOK.

Lawler: "And he's gotta face this man, easily one of the roughest, toughest guys we've ever seen here on Rampage".

J.R.: "The Boogeyman will certainly have his hands full here with the Manbear and I expect this one to be hard hitting..... to say the least".

Lawler: "Well for those fans that can remember this far back, let's not forget that the last Rampage Tag Team champions before The BoogeySaints were Terkay and his partner Elijah Burke"!

The Boogeyman vs. Sylvester Terkay

As the bell sounded, The Boogeyman got down in a crouched stance and circled around Terkay, dancing. But Terkay moved in with a leg kick before drilling Boogeyman with a right hand. Backing him into the corner, Terkay had his right hand on Boogeyman's throat before smashing him with some shots to the body. Seeming almost impervious to pain, though, Boogeyman fought back and actually began to out-strike the Manbear. After a double thrust chop to the throat, Boogeyman whipped Terkay to the ropes and dropped him with a clothesline. Boogeyman then ran the ropes before landing a legdrop. He got up and started doing his "Boogey dance" again but when he went back to Terkay, Terkay used a drop toehold before smacking The Boogeyman in the back of the head several times. Boogeyman got to his feet and Terkay threw a clothesline. But Boogey ducked it and kicked him in the abdomen before getting him up for an impressive gutwrench suplex. Just then, Elijah Burke began making his way down the ramp but Boogeyman reached into his pocket, stuffing a handful of worms into his mouth. He then went outside the ring and kicked Burke right in the face! Boogeyman got back in but Terkay was up and caught him with the vaunted Heart Punch right when he turned around. Terkay made the cover and got the 3 count.

Match Time: 4:21

J.R.: "Terkay hits the Heart Punch and do not be fooled folks, that is a devastating move that you don't want to be on the receiving end of".

Lawler: "And now Elijah Burke is getting into the ring".

BURKE GOT INTO THE RING AND BEGAN STOMPING ON THE BOOGEYMAN. BUT NOT LONG AFTER, EDDIE SAINT JAMES RAN OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. HE ENTERED THE RING BUT TERKAY WAS WAITING WITH A CLOTHESLINE. THE SAINT DUCKED THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT AND HIT THE ROPES, KICKING TERKAY IN THE FACE. AFTER DROPPING BURKE WITH A RIGHT HAND, THE SAINT CLOTHESLINED TERKAY OUT OF THE RING WHEN HE GOT UP.

"I WILL BE HEARD" PLAYED AND THE FANS CHEERED AS THE SAINT STOOD TALL IN THE RING, YELLING AT THE RETREATING BURKE AND TERKAY.

Lawler: "It's a good thing Eddie Saint James came out here..... who knows what those two had in mind for The Boogeyman"!

J.R.: "And who knows what the future holds...... Elijah Burke and Sylvester Terkay still have a match coming up in the invitational tag team tournament! If they run the table, we could see these two teams meet up again"!

BACKSTAGE.......

THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE EMPIRE SUITE WHERE DEVON WADE IS TALKING WITH TIFFANIE. CRIS HENNING IS NO LONGER IN THE ROOM.

Tiffanie: "I know that..... and I actually could see myself liking you..... but I know that Cris likes me too and I don't want to come between you guys".

Devon Wade: "What if we just hang out a little bit, without him knowing.... and see where it goes"?

Tiffanie: "And if he finds out"?

Devon Wade: "That's a risk I'm willing to take".

WADE MOVES IN AND KISSES TIFFANIE. SHE RESISTS AT FIRST BUT STARTS TO KISS HIM BACK BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACK OUT INTO THE ARENA.

A VOICE STARTS TO SPEAK BUT AT FIRST, CAN'T BE SEEN.

Voice: "Is everyone ready to have some fun"?

J.R.: "Who is that"?

Voice: "I'm over here...... put the camera on section two fifteen".

THE CAMERA MOVES WITH THE VOICE AND FINDS SEAN O'HAIRE WITH A MALE FAN. THE FAN IS WEARING A RED OHIO STATE BUCKEYES HAT AND AN EMPIRE T-SHIRT.

J.R.: "Oh.... it's this guy".

Sean O'Haire: "I am here with Zack...... who came to the arena tonight with a few friends. Tell this audience a little about yourself, Zack".

Fan: "Uh, my name is Zack and I'm a sophomore at THE Ohio State..... go Buckeyes"!

THE FANS CHEER BUT O'HAIRE SEEMS TO HAVE SOMETHING MORE IN MIND.

Sean O'Haire: "Now Zack, I'm sure you love the college experience..... football games and drinking with your boys, which is great, but how about doing something crazy..... something you're "not supposed to do"?

Zack: "Yeah, I'm up for anything".

O'HAIRE MOVES IN AND WHISPERS SOMETHING IN THE FAN's EAR.

Sean O'Haire: "Go ahead, pick one out.... let's have some fun".

THE FAN STARTS TO SCOUR THE CROWD BEFORE LOCKING HIS EYES ON A SEXY BLONDE WOMAN. HE WALKS DOWN THE 2 OR 3 ROWS SHE IS SITTING FROM HIM AND STANDS BEHIND HER.

Sean O'Haire: "That one"?

THE FAN NODS HIS HEAD AS THE CROWD BEGINS TO WONDER JUST WHAT IN THE HECK IS GOING ON WHILE O'HAIRE MAKES HIS WAY OVER.

Sean O'Haire: "Okay, go for it..... anything you want".

JUST AS HE SAYS THAT, A MAN SITTING NEXT TO HER PULLS THE MICROPHONE FROM O'HAIRE.

Man: "That's my wife.... don't even think about it".

Sean O'Haire: "Who the hell cares..... go for it Zack".

THE FAN TAKES THE WOMAN's HAND AND FORCEFULL STANDS HER UP. HE THEN TWIRLS HER AND SMACKS HER RIGHT ON THE ASS, MUCH TO HER SHOCK. HOWEVER, THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS.

Sean O'Haire: "How'd that feel"?

Fan: "That was awesome...... woooooooooo"!

ABOUT THAT TIME, A LARGE SECURITY GUARD STARTS MAKING HIS WAY OVER AND GRABS ONTO THE FAN. BUT SEAN O'HAIRE INTERVENES, DROPPING THE SECURITY GUARD WITH A RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "My God.... what the hell is going on"?!

Lawler: "Has Sean O'Haire lost his mind"?

Sean O'Haire: "Did you all think I was just a bunch of talk?! You people need to learn how to not just bend the rules.... but break them! You need to learn how to buck the trend and do those things that everyone is afraid to do...... those things that are in the back of your mind twenty four hours a day, seven days a week but you're afraid to act on them for fear of what society might say! I hope you all were taking notes..... because I didn't just tell you anything..... that you don't already know"!

"COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYS AS SEAN O'HAIRE STARTS MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD, EXITING THROUGH ONE OF THE THIRD LEVEL SECTIONS.

J.R.: "That may go down as the strangest segment in the history of this show....... all I can say is wow".

"THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND RICHARD RAMSLEY MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH THE 2011 ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER, CM PUNK. PUNK IS WALKING QUICKLY DOWN THE RAMP, LEAVING RAMSLEY SEVERAL PACES BEHIND.

J.R.: "We saw this at the top of the broadcast where CM Punk claimed he no longer needs Richard Ramsley".

Lawler: "CM Punk is still obviously elated over the fact that he won the Royal Rumble, but it may not be a bad idea to keep a guy like Ramsley around".

J.R.: "That sets up an interesting tag team match here where I don't think the two teams totally see things eye to eye".

"BLACK" BY SEVENDUST HITS AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT, CLAD IN HIS CROWN AND ROBE, ALONG WITH DREW McINTYRE.

Lawler: "You had Sebastian Cain plainly tell Drew McIntyre earlier that he is sitting on strike two and could be fired! You have to wonder out of McIntyre and Ramsley, who will be more fired up tonight".

J.R.: "Ramsley stated to CM Punk that he will prove he needs him but let's be honest, Ramsley can't give Punk anything more than he's already earned himself".

Lawler: "Right but nobody thinks quite like Ramsley does either. I think he's a lot smarter than you give him credit for, J.R.".

J.R.: "He is one twisted individual.... there's no doubt about that but it's that mentality, the things that don't seem to make any sense, that Punks wants away from".

CM Punk and Richard Ramsley vs. Sebastian Cain and Drew McIntyre

Fresh off winning the Royal Rumble, Punk insisted on starting the match for his team, yelling "Get in the corner"! to Ramsley. McIntyre started the match for his team, locking up with Punk. Cain yelled "Don't screw it up already" to McIntyre from the apron as Punk took him to the mat from a side headlock. McIntyre got in a headscissor hold but Punk shook free, landing a sharp kick to the ribs that forced McIntyre to wince in pain. Punk waited for him to get up, slapping on a side headlock again. This time, McIntyre pushed him off, sending him to the ropes. As Punk hit the ropes, Ramsley slapped is back to tag himself into the match. Punk ducked a clothesline from McIntyre and then fell victim to Cain pulling down the top rope and Punk went over, landing hard on the floor. Cain that came off the apron with a clothesline to take Punk out and draw a big cheer from the crowd. But in the ring, McIntyre didn't even realize what was going on. Ramsley stood behind him, visibly shaking, seemingly full of rage and ready to explode. Ramsley nailed Drew from behind with a double axe handle that knocked him to the mat. From there, Ramsley ran the ropes, stuffing a boot right into the face of a seated McIntyre and that turned his lights out. Ramsley covered him as Punk and Cain traded shots outside the ring. Referee Chad Patton dropped to the mat and counted to 3, giving the match to Ramsley and Punk. After the match was over, Ramsley's rageful, incensed demeanor turned to one of pure calmness.

Match Time: 1:04

J.R.: "This thing is already over as Ramsley has pinned Drew McIntyre"!

PUNK STOOD OUTSIDE THE RING, LOOKING IN AT RAMSLEY WHO WAS SEATED NEXT TO McINTYRE, WHO WAS STILL ON HIS BACK. RAMSLEY's EYES COULD NOT BE SEEN DUE TO HIS HAIR, BUT HE DID SEEM TO BE SMILING AT PUNK.

Lawler: "What does CM Punk think now? Does he still want to disassociate himself with this man"?

J.R.: "Well that's one question, the other is, was this strike three for Drew McIntyre"?!

THE CAMERA GOT A SHOT OF SEBASTIAN CAIN, WHO JUST WALKED AWAY AFTER THE MATCH, LEAVING HIS PARTNER..... HIS SERVANT, IN THE RING.

Lawler: "These are a couple of stories that we will no doubt be following, J.R.".

BACKSTAGE.......

CAMERAS SHOW CRIS HENNING SEARCHING THE BACKSTAGE AREA FOR DEVON WADE AND TIFFANIE, CALLING OUT BOTH OF THEIR NAMES, TO NO AVAIL.

BACK TO THE RING, "FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" COMES ON AND CHRIS TIRPAK COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Lawler: "Wow, no wonder why The Empire left that guy off the vacation".

J.R.: "Can you believe that these two men are actually going to compete tonight"?

Lawler: "Not just compete, but this is a falls count anywhere match"!

J.R.: "Chris Tirpak and Axl Irvin brutalized each other at the Royal Rumble in a ladder match but here we are again tonight".

"THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND. HE LOOKS TO BE IN A LOT BETTER SHAPE THAN TIRPAK DOES FOLLOWING THE ROYAL RUMBLE BOUT.

Lawler: "Well years ago, this title was the Toughman title, J.R., so I think all of this is appropriate"!

J.R.: "Axl Irvin was able to climb the ladder at the Rumble and snatch that belt but tonight, falls count in the ring, in the back or hell, even out in the parking lot"!

AXL IRVIN ENTERED THE RING AND HANDED THE BELT TO REFEREE SCOTT MARTIN BUT BEHIND THEIR BACKS, TIRPAK LEFT THE RING AND THEN CRAWLED UNDERNEATH IT.

Falls Count Anywhere/TWF King of Cable Title Match

Challenger: Chris Tirpak vs. Axl Irvin

As the bell sounded, Axl turned and just threw up his hands when he didn't see Tirpak. But Tirpak would emerge soon enough, coming out from under the ring with a kendo stick. Axl never saw him until it was too late. BANG! with the kendo stick over the head. He fell to the mat and Tirpak covered him, hooking the leg for the 1.............2........., but Axl was out! Tirpak almost won it in a matter of seconds, but he got Axl up and tossed him over the top rope. Tirpak left the ring after grabbing his weapon but Axl recovered, kicking him in the midsection and then slamming him face first into the barricade near the entrance ramp. Axl followed that up with a backdrop suplex onto the ramp. He covered Tirpak as Martin hurried over to make a count, slapping the ramp gingerly and getting 2. Axl pulled him up and began to lead him up the ramp, throwing him through the curtain. A cameraman followed the wild action as Axl got up and threw Tirpak over a table. He then picked up what appeared to be a bowl full of potato salad from a catering cart. He brought it around the table but Tirpak got up, kicking the hands of Axl and forcing him to the throw the contents of the bowl right in his own face! Tirpak then lifted a partially blinded Axl to his shoulders and delivered the "Lights Out" right into the table! Both men actually went through it, but Tirpak was able to place an over Axl as Martin slapped the concrete floor, 1...............2..............3!

Match Time: 3:23

J.R.: "He did it! Tirpak's got the belt back"!

Lawler: "Unbelievable that they both went through that table and you have to wonder if the impact hampered Tirpak's shoulder any further"!

"FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS" PLAYED AS MARTIN BROUGHT THE TITLE OVER TO TIRPAK AFTER RUNNING DOWN TO RINGSIDE TO GET IT. TIRPAK FORCED HIMSELF UP AND ALTHOUGH IN PLENTY OF PAIN, HE HELD THE BELT UP, LOOKING DOWN AT AXL WHO WAS COVERED IN SPLINTERED WOOD AND POTATO SALAD.

J.R.: "This has turned into an incredible rivalry between these two men that has affected their careers permanently I imagine! Tonight, was Tirpak's night".

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

J.R.: "We welcome you back live to TWF Rampage and it is time for our main event".

Lawler: "And here comes the former World champion. I wonder how he feels about our current World champion, who happens to be the referee for this match, mocking him earlier tonight".

J.R.: "Well ya know what they say, King, what goes around comes around and for a few weeks there, Oliver was making a habit out of cheap, horrible imitations".

"VOICES" BY REV THEORY COMES ON AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE.

Lawler: "This man would sure like to have another chance at the title but the question is, has he gotten onto the good side of The Empire yet"?

J.R.: "Well that's why we need some sort of governing board, someone to overrule that kind of crap because if you ask me, the winner of this match should be first in line to face Matt Cruz"!

Lawler: "With that said, do you think Matt Cruz has a preference here? Will that play a role in how he officiates this match"?

J.R.: "I feel that Matt Cruz will call this match down the middle. There is no love loss between he and either of these guys so I doubt he has a favorite".

Jason Oliver vs. Randy Orton

*Special Referee: Matt Cruz

Right from the opening bell, Oliver and Orton went at it, trading blows. Orton knocked Oliver into the corner and began to pound him with right hands. Cruz moved in trying to get a break but like an animal, Orton was all over him. Cruz yanked Orton away and Orton and Cruz had a bit of a standoff, allowing Oliver to come out of the corner with an axe handle to Orton. Oliver followed that up with several stiff punches before shooting Orton to the ropes and locking in a sleeper hold. Orton tried to fight it off, but Oliver had it in tight and he began to put Orton down slowly. Orton finally countered with a sitdown jawbreaker, but the effects of the sleeper took a second to shake off and Oliver jumped into the air with a flying heel kick that connected. Oliver then got down on the mat and slapped on a rear naked choke, trying to put Orton away. Cruz actually began a 5 count, asking Oliver to break the chokehold. Now, it was Oliver up in Cruz's face. Orton started to get up, so Oliver went back at him but Orton came up with a small package and Cruz issued a 2 count before Oliver was up. Both men got to their feet. Oliver threw a punch but Orton blocked it, kicking him in the abdomen and hitting the ropes for a big knee lift. He made a cover and again got a 2 count. Orton pulled Oliver up and whipped him to the ropes, looking for a dropkick but Oliver held the ropes. After Orton landed on the mat, Oliver came in with a bridged rollup to get a 2 count. Cruz gave the same paced count he did when Orton made his pin attempts. Oliver grabbed Orton with both hands around the waist, driving him into the corner. After multiple knifedge chops, Oliver sent Orton up on the top turnbuckle. He then grabbed him around the head and neck and unbelievably, it looked like he was going to pull him off with Orton's own move, the RKO. But Orton fought free and kicked Oliver right into the face. He then grabbed him and performed a perfect tornado DDT. That set up the Orton Stomp as he put his boot to nearly every inch of Oliver's body. Now in complete control of the match, Orton went up to the top rope. Oliver got up and Orton went for a crossbody block only to be dropkicked right out of the air by Oliver. He quickly pulled Orton up and kicked him in the gut before going for the "Claymore" but Orton swung out of it right into the "RKO". Cruz got down and made the count, 1...............2.........., but Oliver got his foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. Orton was shocked by this but got up and pulled Oliver to the center of the ring. He then backed up, looking to punt him into another part of Ohio. But as he ran an, Oliver got up and caught Orton with a spin kick to the gut followed by a wicked DDT. He covered Orton, hooking the leg, but only got a 2 count! Now, it was Oliver who had the idea of a big kick. He took a few steps back, intent on punting Orton. He ran in and swung his right foot but Orton moved his head out of the way, got up and connected with the RKO again! This time it was in the center of the ring and this time, it led to a 3 count!

Match Time: 11:56

Lawler: "He got him this time! Two RKO's were one too many for Oliver"!

J.R.: "That was a fantastic match between two of the best that the TWF has to offer.... what a way to close this night"!

"VOICES" PLAYED AS ORTON HAD HIS HAND RAISED BY CRUZ AND NOW, A LOT OF THE FANS WERE CHEERING.

Lawler: "Orton seems to be gaining a supporting audience here but is The Empire among them"?!
