***NOTE: I want everyone to know that EVERY draft pick this year was made completely random. There were some surprising/ironic picks so I didn't want anyone to think that I just decided who would be drafted.
THE NBC SPORTS LOGO FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN BEFORE A HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE DEDICATED TO PAST TWF DRAFT's IS SHOWN, CULMINATING IN EDGE BECOMIN UNIVERSAL CHAMPION LAST YEAR, ONLY TO BE DRAFTED OVER TO RAMPAGE.
THE SHOT THEN GOES INTO THE ARENA IN SALT LAKE CITY WHERE THE CROWD IS GOING ABSOLUTELY WILD. THE ANNOUNCE TEAM IS THEN SHOWN, POSITIONED AT RINGSIDE.
Todd Grisham: "Every superstar in the TWF sits on pins and needles tonight in Salt Lake City, waiting to learn the fate of their future! Hello everyone, my name is Todd Grisham and calling the action with me tonight is none other than Jerry Lawler! King, a special buzz around the arena tonight".
Jerry Lawler: "Oh it's like a pay-per-view feel tonight, Todd, I can't wait"!
Grisham: "Both the TWF World and Universal champions are scheduled to be in action tonight and every match we have will have an impact on the future of both Rampage and PrimeTime"!
THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "MI DESTROYERO" COMES ON. ARIEL LEADS KEVIN THORN OUT FROM THE BACK AND THE PAIR DOES NOT LOOK VERY FRIENDLY.
Lawler: "And it looks like we're ready for the first one...... a mixed gender match"!
Grisham: "The dark couple of the TWF, Kevin Thorn and Ariel are on their way to the ring..... ya think these two have seen sunlight in the last few weeks, King"?
Lawler: "Uh.... my guess would be no".
THORN CLIMBS THROUGH THE ROPES, GIVING WAY TO ARIEL WHO PERFORMS HER INFAMOUS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN ON THE RING ROPES ENTRANCE.
THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND THE THEME OF THE HART DYNASTY PLAYS NEXT. HARRY SMITH AND NATALYA COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.
Grisham: "Starting with this match, the division that wins will win a draft pick from the other show! The possibilities are endless tonight"!
Lawler: "That's why it's considered one of our biggest shows each year.... there's almost thirteen thousand people here".
2010 TWF Draft/Mixed Gender Tag Team Match Kevin Thorn and Ariel vs. Harry Smith and Natalya Natalya chose to start the match off for her team, which forced a reluctant Ariel to lock up with her. Natalya easily muscled Ariel around the ring before smashing her chest with a chop in the corner. Off an irish whip, Natalya laid her down with a big clothesline and followed up with a nice elbow drop. It looked as if Natalya could have it won already but Ariel kicked out at 2 when she went for a cover. Natalya pulled the Vampiress of PrimeTime up and hooked her into a fisherman suplex. She hit the move perfectly but Thorn came into the ring to break up the 3 count. Smith came in and tussled with Thorn and referee Marty Elias had his hands full. He got the men out of the ring but the distraction was enough for Ariel to get away from Natalya and make the tag to Thorn. But that tag immediately brought Smith into the match and he was ready, hitting Thorn with right hands before whipping him to the corner for a clothesline. After a very nice delayed vertical suplex, the crowd could sense a huge win for the Harts. He pulled Thorn up and shot him into the corner, following in with a clothesline. From there, Smith hoisted Thorn up onto his shoulders and delivered a picture perfect running powerslam. He had the cover and the match won, but Ariel was on the apron, distracting Elias. Elias turned to make the 3 count, but by this time, Thorn was able to kick out. About this time, Gangrel and Drusus came out from the back, looking to aid Thorn and Ariel. Natalya pointed this out and as Elias argued with the two men, Tyson Kidd came out of the crowd, a plan the Harts seemed to have devised before the match! Kidd got up on the apron and used the ring ropes to slingshot himself into the ring, hitting Thorn with a flying clothesline. He quickly got out of the ring, but Elias just happened to look up at the TWF tron and saw the action that was going on behind his back, calling for the bell. Match Time: 5:11 Grisham: "What happened..... the match has been stopped". Lawler: "I think he's disqualified the Hart Dynasty, Todd". Ring Announcer Stephen DeAngelis: "Ladies and gentlemen, due to outside interference, the referee has disqualified the Hart Dynasty. Therefore, the winners of this match..... Kevin Thorn and Ariel"! THE CROWD BOOED LOUDLY AS "MI DESTROYERO" STARTED TO PLAY AGAIN BUT THE MUSIC QUICKLY STOPPED AS THE REST OF THE REQUIEM ENTERED THE RING AND STARTED TO ATTACK HARRY SMITH. TYSON KIDD CAME BACK IN BUT THE NUMBERS WERE TOO MUCH AND THEY EVENTUALLY OVERTOOK HIM. AFTER TOTALLY INCAPACITATING SMITH, GANGREL AND DRUSUS HELPED THORN GET HIM UP FOR THE "DARK KISS". MORE BOOS FOLLOWED AS THE TWF TRON BEGAN TO SHUFFLE THROUGH THE PICTURES OF EVERY SUPERSTAR ON THE TWF ROSTER. Grisham: "And now it looks like we're ready for our first draft pick"! Lawler: "Who's it gonna be"?! AS THE FANS LOOKED ON WITH ANTICIPATION, THE VIDEO WALL STOPPED ON ZACK RYDER.
Grisham: "Zack Ryder is goin' to PrimeTime"! Lawler: "Oh boy, get ready to hear Woo.... woo.... woo quite a bit over on the Fox network"! "OH RADIO" PLAYED AND ZACK RYDER CAME OUT ONTO THE STAGE, HOLDING HIS HANDS OUT AND HOLDING UP AND ORANGE AND BLACK PRIMETIME SHIRT. Grisham: "This could be a great opportunity for that young man to jumpstart his career King, but in the ring, look at the carnage left by The Requiem"! Lawler: "Yeah, I'd say the Harts hope that entire group gets drafted over to Rampage so they can get another piece of them"! Grisham: "A wild start to the night already...... we'll be right back"! COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN AD FOR THE NFL ON NBC. RETURN FROM BREAK...... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, MEAN GENE OKERLUND, MAKING A SPECIAL APPEARANCE, IS BACKSTAGE WITH DEVON WADE. Mean Gene Okerlund: "Hello folks, I am here at this time with one half of one of the young tag teams here in the TWF, and more importantly, a member of The Empire. Devon Wade, what is it you wanted to say"? Devon Wade: "Mean Gene Okerlund? Seriously? They couldn't have gotten me Lena Yada or that sweet little hottie, Courtney Taylor? Eh... whatever. I just wanted to point out how the last PrimeTime ended. In case you were living under a rock, well, Mr. Rockwell, Mr. Franchise himself suffered the most humiliating embarrassment in TWF history! Rockwell, when are you gonna learn.... when are you....... WADE's WORDS TAIL OFF AS HE SEEMS TO SPOT SOMETHING. JUST THEN, JORDAN ROCKWELL ENTERS THE SHOT. Jordan Rockwell: "There's no need to scream, kid, I'm right here. So go ahead, finish your sentence. When am I gonna what"? Devon Wade: "Are you kidding me, dude. I can say whatever I want to you, so don't make it look like you're gonna push me around. In fact......... JUST THEN, WADE USES BOTH HANDS TO GIVE ROCKWELL A HEARTY SHOVE. ROCKWELL LOOKS DOWN AND SMILES BEFORE COCKING HIS HAND BACK AND JUST DRILLING WADE WITH A RIGHT HAND, ONE THAT KNOCKS HIM STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. ROCKWELL SHAKES HIS HAND AND WALKS AWAY AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF WADE HOLDING HIS JAW. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE SECOND CITY SAINTS ARE INSIDE WAITING. WITH THEM ARE THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES. "I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED STARTS UP AND MONICA WALKS OUT FOLLOWED BY EDDIE SAINT JAMES, WHO IS WEARING HIS HALF OF THE RAMPAGE TAG TEAM TITLES. Grisham: "Oh boy, this one is gonna be a treat, fans. You've got one half of the TWF Tag Team champions facing one half of the Rampage Tag Team champions". Lawler: "Well we all remember the 2009 TWF draft where The BoogeySaints defeated the then TWF Tag Team champions, The United Nations". Grisham: "I also wanted to point out that before tonight's draft, two guaranteed draft picks were given to each division and we will reveal who those picks were later on in tonight's broadcast". Lawler: "Ya know, I heard they wanted to get The Boogeyman out here for this match tonight but this place has a lot of closets..... no one knows where he is". Grisham (laughs): "That may even be true". 2010 TWF Draft Colt Cabana w/ CM Punk vs. Eddie Saint James w/ Monica Cabana got some last minute strategy from Punk before locking up with the very big Saint James. The Saint was easily able to fling Cabana into the corner and land a few shots to the body. He then took a few steps back and came back in but Cabana was able to get a boot to his face followed by a dropkick on the right kneecap. That dropped The Saint to one knee and Cabana then grabbed him by the head and neck, trying to turn it into a tornado DDT. But The Saint picked him up and just dumped him over the top rope and to the floor. Cabana was slow to get up and The Saint went outside the ring, kicking him right in the side of the head. After grabbing Cabana and rolling him back into the ring, The Saint shot a nasty look in Punk's direction. The Saint then got up on the apron but Punk came over and grabbed his right leg. That allowed Cabana to recover and drill him with a running forearm. After pulling Saint back into the ring, Caban ran the ropes and drilled him with a running yakuza kick the upper body. After a kick to the abdomen, Cabana then ran the ropes and caught Saint James with a double knee to the head. Punk yelled "Cover him"! but Cabana went to the middle turnbuckle. Punk seemed to be questioning his partner's tactics. Cabana got off the ropes and seemed to be arguing with Punk when The Saint got up and from behind, hit Cabana with a running boot to the back of the head. That led to the "Death to Humanity" and Saint James hooked the leg for the 3 count. Match Time: 4:16 Grisham: "One lapse in judgment has just cost Colt Cabana this match"! Lawler: "And it's cost PrimeTime a draft pick"! Grisham: "The seemingly well oiled machine of the Second City Saints self destructed there"! THE TWF TRON BEGINS TO RUN THROUGH THE SUPERSTARS AGAIN. Lawler: "Who's it gonna be.... who's comin' to Rampage"?! Grisham: "Oh no...... you gotta be kidding"! THE DRAFT PICK WAS NONE OTHER THAN...... CM PUNK. SEEING THIS, PUNK GOT INTO THE RING AND GOT CABANA UP ON HIS SHOULDERS, DELIVERING THE "GO TO SLEEP". Lawler: "GTS to Cabana! You're right..... this team hasn't just self destructed..... it's imploded"! Grisham: "Amazingly, one half of the TWF Tag Team champions has just been drafted to Rampage.... what does this mean for the titles"?! BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACK, A VERY ELEGANT LOOKING ROOM HAS BEEN SET UP FOR THE EMPIRE. TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH STRATUS ARE ENJOYING DINNER WITH CARNEY, ALBA RIOS AND MATT MORGAN. MONEY MIKE IS FRONT AND CENTER IN THE ROOM, LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA. Money Mike: "Jordan Rockwell, I hope this message gets to you.... and soon. I have two announcements for you. First of all, I have made a match between you and my boy Carney to do battle at Anarchy Rulz. You will face him in one of three matches which these stupid people will have the opportunity to vote for but you can rest assured that I will select those matches and they won't be to your advantage. That's kind of the situation you will find yourself in later tonight. See, you want to put your hands on Devon Wade..... well that's fine. Because tonight, you will face Carney, Wade AND Henning in a three on one handicap match! Well, that is, unless you can come across two guys stupid enough to not only team up with you, but to also risk their jobs and defy The Empire. Good luck, Rockwell.... you're definitely gonna need it". 2010 TWF Draft Chaos Wolf vs. Troy Gafgen w/ Richard Ramsley This match was just a fight from the second the bell rang. Wolf and Gafgen stood toe to toe, trading blows. Wolf began to get the better of Gafgen and after delivering a stump piledriver, he had things totally in his favor. That's when Richard Ramsley decided to interject himself. Ramsley didn't seem to care not only that he was risking getting Gafgen disqualified, but that he could cost Rampage a draft pick. Wolf ran over and kicked Ramsley off the apron but that allowed Gafgen to come from behind with a shot to the back of the head. After a sidewalk slam, Gafgen hit the ropes and dropped a big leg across the throat of Wolf. But when he went for a cover, Wolf kicked out at 2. At that moment, Chris Tirpak came from out of the crowd and smashed Ramsley with his kendo stick. Tirpak then proceeded to wear Ramsley out with the weapon. This took Gafgen and referee Charles Robinson's attention off the match and Wolf came from behind, lowblowing Gafgen. That led right into the "Chaos Driver". Wolf rolled Gafgen over and covered him for the 1.............2..............3! Match Time: 5:19 Grisham: "Chaos Wolf has defeated Troy Gafgen and secured another draft pick for PrimeTime"! Lawler: "This fight is still going outside the ring though"! CHRIS TIRPAK GOT INTO THE RING WITH HIS LONG TIME TAG TEAM PARTNER CHAOS WOLF AND THE FANS WERE LOUDLY CHEERING AS THE DRAFT SHUFFLER WENT IN CIRCLES ON THE TWF TRON..... FINALLY LANDING ON SHELTON BENJAMIN. Grisham: "Shelton Benjamin is coming to PrimeTime"! Lawler: "A huge pick for those guys and for one night.... Chris Tirpak finally knows what it's like to have the odds even against Ramsley and Gafgen". Grisham: "Chris Tirpak will compete later in the big twenty man battle royal where the winner will receive two draft picks for his division"! Lawler: "Yes, and Richard Ramsley is gonna be in there too". COMMERCIAL BREAK............ COMMERCIALS FOR WENDY's AND TWIX ARE NOW SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK...... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, MEAN GENE IS SHOWN STANDING AT THE INTERVIEW AREA WITH EDGE. EDGE HAS THE UNIVERSAL TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Mean Gene: "Back live here on Main Event on NBC and I am here with the Universal champion Edge who will be in action later tonight. Edge, the title will not be on the line tonight when you face J.J. Ramplin, but who can forget how you won that title last year, only to be drafted over to Rampage"? Edge: "I don't want to hear another word about it.... cause it won't happen again. Even if by some chance my name gets called tonight to go back over to Rampage..... I'm pretty sure I can work something out with the guys who are now in charge". EDGE WALKS PAST OKERLUND AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. 2010 TWF Draft Gina Carano and Monica vs. Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich w/ Gregory Helms and Ken Doll Back in the ring, the stage was set for a divas tag team match. Velvet Sky was teaming with Lacey Von Erich, who was having her first match in the TWF. They came to the ring with their men, Helms and Doll. On the other side of the ring was Monica and the woman who defeated her for the Women's title at WrestleMania, Gina Carano. Forced to team together in order to earn Rampage a draft pick, or perhaps prevent being drafted to PrimeTime, Carano and Monica were not clicking. Velvet Sky and Von Erich did their best to take advantage, but they were clearly an inferior team. Velvet was able to get Carano into the corner with a choke and she then distracted referee Jack Doan as Lacey used the tag rope to choke Gina. Velvet then used her feet to kick the body of Carano and the lovely blonde duo was starting to have some success. But after whipping Carano across the ring, Sky ran and was met with an elbow. Carano then turned and made a tag by slapping the shoulder of her partner Monica. Monica got into the ring and hit Sky with some hard forearm shots before sending her into her corner. Von Erich didn't look too eager to make a tag but she got into the ring and locked up with the former Women's champion. Monica was able to push her to the corner but Lacey got to the ropes to get a break. Lacey then began to do some jumping jacks, somewhat taunting her. Monica took a big swing but missed and Lacey was actually able to drop her with a clothesline. Velvet wanted back into the match and Lacey made the tag. Together, they then whipped her to the ropes and a double back elbow put Monica on the mat. Velvet and Lacey then seemed to get a bright idea of each going to one of the top ropes. Gregory Helms was seemingly talking the girls out of it when Ken Doll got up in his face. Doll shoved him and Helms responded with a right hand. The distraction allowed Monica to nail Von Erich from behind, knocking her through the ropes and out of the ring. Velvet turned and ran at Monica but ate a kick to the abdomen before being planted with a DDT. She rolled Velvet over and covered her for the 3 count. Match Time: 9:16 With the match over, Carano came into the ring and her and Monica exchanged some words and were ready to come to blows as the TWF tron circled through the lottery. Grisham: "It looks like these two are ready to go at it now, King"! Lawler: "I just want to see who the draft pick is". Both ladies turned to the video wall to see the picture of Katie Lea. Monica then slowly left the ring but Carano never took her eyes off of her". Grisham: "The women's division on Rampage seems to be growing more and more intense and it's just grown by one"! Lawler: "A very interesting pick, Todd..... Katie Lea is coming to Rampage"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE MARIA IS SPEAKING WITH THE MAKEUP ARTIST WHEN A VOICE BOOMS OUT FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, STARTLING BOTH OF THE LADIES.
The Voice: "Okay, you sow, hit the bricks"!
MONEY MIKE ENTERS THE SHOT AND DISMISSES THE MAKEUP ARTIST WITH HIS HAND. THE CROWD BOOS WITH GREAT PASSION AS MARIA's EYES GO WIDE WITH FEAR.
Money Mike: "Well, well, well. The beautiful Maria. On behalf of The Empire, I'd like to congratulate you and your man, Matt Cruz, on being the first couple of the TWF. We in the Empire would like to leave a message for him before his match with our man Morgan, and I was wondering if you could play the role of "incredibly sexy messenger" for me".
MIKE THAN GOES TO BRUSH HAIR OUT OF MARIA'S FACE AS SHE RECOILS IN DISGUST. JUST AS HIS HAND WAS ABOUT TO REACH HER FACE, ANOTHER HAND REACHES AROUND MARIA's HEAD AND CATCHES MIKE's ARM BY THE WRIST SO HARD IT MAKES MIKE WINCE. IT WAS MATT CRUZ AND HE HAD AN ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE AS HE STEPPED IN FRONT OF MARIA. Matt Cruz: "I'd retract that paw of yours, if I were you. You have a message for me, you tell me to my face".
MIKE SHRUGS OUT OF CRUZ's GRIP AND RUBS HIS WRIST. DESPITE THE PAIN, MIKE STILL HAS A SMIRK ON HIS FACE.
Money Mike: "Hey now, simmer down. I just wanted to let you know that we in The Empire hold no negative feelings towards you for that little speech you gave on Rampage. We appreciate people who speak their minds. We had a point to make at WrestleMania, you just happened to be in the right place at the wrong time. That was just business, but we understand that you may still harbor some resentment about the ass kicking we laid on you. Let me assure you, we have no plans to further humiliate you. Now, Matt Morgan on the other hand, had a bit of an issue with what you had to say. We granted him this match against you, but this is his deal. As a show of good faith, we made it a non-title match. We have no plans to interfere or influence the match in anyway".
CRUZ PURSED HIS LIPS, CLEARLY NOT BELIEVING A WORD OF IT.
Matt Cruz: "First of all, I haven't forgotten what you and the rest of you nitwits did to me at Mania. Trust me, there will be a conversation about that. Secondly, I trust you about as far as Scott Hudson could throw you. I'd be willing to bet that after I get done beating down that Cro-Magnon Morgan, the rest of the narrow asses in The Empire come running down to help".
Money Mike: "That would imply that Morgan can't handle himself. I don't know if you were paying attention to what I just said, but this is all Matt Morgan's personal beef with you. You are not even on The Empire's radar..... yet. We have other things concerning us, none of which involves you. (Mike brings his hand up and pokes Cruz in the chest with his index finger) And let me be clear about something else. If we wanted to come down to the ring and involve ourselves in your match, there isn't a whole lot you could do or say about it, punk.
CRUZ LOOKS DOWN AT THE FINGER IN HIS CHEST AND BEGINS TO CHUCKLE. MIKE GETS A CONFUSED LOOK ON HIS FACE, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY CRUZ IS LAUGHING.
Money Mike: What the hell is so funny"?
Matt Cruz: "What's funny is that you think these little pansy ass, fake tough games are enough to scare me. If you didn't figure it out during my war with Orton, I'm not exactly the sanest inmate in this loony bin. There is not a level I won't stoop to when I feel backed into a corner. Try to remember who I am and what I've done in the past before you and yours try to involve yourselves in my business. Come on, babe.
CRUZ AND MARIA LOCK ARMS AND BEGIN TO WALK BY MIKE, WHEN CRUZ STOPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MIKE AND LEANS INTO HIM. Matt Cruz: "Tread very carefully".
CRUZ THEN BUMPS SHOULDERS WITH MIKE AS HE WALKS AWAY. MIKE HAS AN ANGRY LOOK ON HIS FACE AS CRUZ WALKS AWAY, BUT THE LOOK FADES INTO A SMIRK AGAIN.
Money Mike: (to himself) "Not bad, kid". "WANTED MAN" BY REV THEORY HITS AS J.J. RAMPLIN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK TO A BIG POP. Grisham: "Matt Cruz is scheduled to battle Matt Morgan later tonight, but right now, a match involving the champion of PrimeTime.... Edge". Lawler: "Well I gotta admire Cruz showing defiance towards The Empire.... I just don't know how wise it is". "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE HITS NEXT AND EDGE IS OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. PYRO EXPLODES BEHIND HIM AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Grisham: "We heard from Edge earlier tonight, King and he said that no matter what.... no matter what we wouldn't see a repeat of what happened at last year's draft where he was drafted to Rampage right after winning the Universal title"! Lawler: "Edge has got to feel like a yo-yo. It was winning the Universal title once again at WrestleMania that brought him back to PrimeTime". Non-Title Match/2010 TWF Draft J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin vs. Universal Champion: Edge The bell sounded to get things underway and the two men slowly moved in on each other, looking for the best way to attack. Ramplin crouched down and tried to lunge in at Edge, but the champion stood his ground. Finally they locked up and Edge backed Ramplin into the corner. All tied up, referee Scott Martin moved in to get a break. Edge tried to throw a cheap shot as they broke and Ramplin was prepared for it, blocking the right hand and coming back with some shots of his own. Edge quickly got a thumb into his eye to stop the momentum. Edge then ran the ropes looking for a clothesline but Ramplin caught his arm and took him straight to the mat with an armbar. Edge quickly scrambled to the ropes to get free. Both men got to their feet and Edge charged in but Ramplin met him with a kick to the gut. He then whipped him into the corner and kept Edge there with some very stiff shoulders into the midsection. From there, Ramplin got Edge up for a big suplex. He covered Edge with a lateral press but didn't even get a 2 count. Back on the feet, Ramplin grabbed Edge and shot him to the ropes but Edge ducked a clothesline and after coming off the ropes on the other side, he kicked The Ram right in the face with a big boot. After using his right hand to choke Ramplin, Edge got him up and roughed him up with some right hands, knocking him into the ropes. Edge went for another irish whip but Ramplin reversed it, trying to swing Edge into a clothesline but EDge ducked that and delivered the Edge-O-Matic. He then went to the corner and the crowd could see what was coming. He was setting up for the spear and when he went for it, Ramplin recognized it just in time and leapfrogged him. Ramplin then went for his own version of the spear, the 'Rams Horns', but Edge kicked him right in the head and hit the Edge-a-cution. He made the cover and got the 1...........2............., but Ramplin kicked out! Incensed, Edge pulled at his own hair as he argued with Martin over the call. He then went over to Ramplin and tried to pick him up but Ramplin countered into a small package. Somehow, Edge was able to reverse it into a small package of his own to get the 3 count! Match Time: 6:16 Lawler: "What happened"?! Grisham: "Edge got him..... Edge got the win". "METALINGUS" PLAYED AGAIN AND EVEN EDGE LOOKED SURPRISED WITH THE END RESULT AS HE LEFT THE RING. Lawler: "I guess he did.... another draft pick coming for PrimeTime"! Grisham: "Let's take a look at the video wall.... who will it be this time"?! Lawler: "Oh boy". Grisham: "Mr. Kennedy is taking his talents.... and his microphone to PrimeTime"! Lawler: "Man this draft has been huge so far..... and we still have so much more to go"! A SPLIT SCREEN IS SHOWN OF DREW McINTYRE AND SEBASTIAN CAIN GETTING READY IN THE BACK. Grisham: "Coming up next, Sebastian Cain faces Drew McIntyre! What show is gonna get the New Superstar Package"?! COMMERCIAL BREAK............ COMMERCIAL's FOR LOWES AND BUD LIGHT ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... "BROKEN DREAMS" HITS AND DREW McINTYRE RECEIVES IMMEDIATE BOOS AS HE MAKES HIS WAY OUT FROM THE BACK. THE NBC LOGO AGAIN APPEARS IN THE LOWER CORNER OF THE SCREEN. Grisham: "The 2010 TWF Draft continues here live on network television and what a night it's been. Now, it's time to find out which show is gonna be awarded the New Superstar Package which could contain one, two, or ten new TWF superstars, King"! Lawler: "And I like the representative PrimeTime has chosen.... this guy has a heck of a future ahead of him". "BLACK"
BY SEVENDUST COMES ON NEXT AND SEBASTIAN CAIN EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO A HUGE CHEER. Grisham: "Sebastian Cain is an equally good choice to try and get this package for Rampage.... but I gotta ask, is this something these superstars actually want for their respective division"? Lawler: "Uhh.... what do you mean"? Grisham: "Well I mean both these guys are young, up coming guys themselves. Is there a chance they don't want to lose their spots to whoever this package could bring"? Lawler: "Well I suppose that's a good point, but both these guys are competitors and I think above all else, they just want to win". 2010 TWF Draft/Winner Receives New Superstar Package Drew McIntyre vs. Sebastian Cain McIntyre tried to get the jump on Cain before the bell rang but Cain was ready for it, turning towards the oncoming McIntyre and kicking him in the gut. After rifling 2 right hands into his head, Cain shot him to the ropes but dropped his head a touch too soon, allowing McIntyre to kick him in the face. But he only caught a glancing blow and as McIntyre charged in, Cain countered with a hip toss. He then went for a dropkick but McIntyre saw that coming and swatted it away. After a sharp kick to Cain's ribs, McIntyre pulled him up and worked him in the corner with punches before landing some stiff European uppercuts. After suplexing Cain out of the corner, McIntyre went for the cover but only got a 2 count. He then pulled him up and delivered a huge running bulldog. Instead of going for a cover, McIntyre chose to taunt the crowd. He then went back to the attack, hampering Cain. McIntyre continued this punishment for the next 5 minutes or so, but Cain stood in there. McIntyre tried to set him up for his finisher, the "Future Shock" DDT, but Cain countered into a nice drop toehold and tried to slap on the STF. McIntyre scrambled to the ropes to prevent it. But when he got up, Cain was waiting with some hard right hands. After whipping him to the ropes, he took to the air with a big dropkick and this one landed. Cain was looking good, but as he moved in on McIntyre, he grabbed his tights and pulled him forward into the middle turnbuckle pad. McIntyre tried to grab Cain from behind but Cain countered with a nice go behind into a standing waistlock. McIntyre grabbed the top rope to prevent him from executing a move as referee Chad Patton tried to remove his arm. As this was going on, McIntyre used a mule kick to low blow Cain, something Patton never saw. He then pulled him into the Future Shock and rolled him over for the victory. Match Time: 11:03 Grisham: "He got him! An underhanded win for Drew McInryre, but a win none the less"! Lawler: "An ironic name for that move too.... cause this could bring quite a future shock.... to PrimeTime"! AS "BROKEN DREAMS" PLAYED AGAIN, McINTYRE CELEBRATED THE WIN, SHOWING OFF FOR THE BOOING CROWD. BUT THE MUSIC STOPPED WHEN CAIN ATTACKED McINTYRE FROM BEHIND AND HE WAS ALL OVER HIM. Grisham: "I don't think Cain was too happy with the way that went down.... he's all over McIntyre"! McINTYRE WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AND GET AWAY. IN THE RING, CAIN YELLED FOR HIM TO COME BACK. Lawler: "McIntyre better get out of Dodge and get back to PrimeTime..... quick"! Grisham: "Well somewhat lost in the shuffle here, PrimeTime has secured the New Superstar Package! New superstars should be showing up on PrimeTime..... well soon"! BACKSTAGE..... Richard Ramsley is shown somewhere in the innards of the building.
His hair is uncharacteristically brushed away from his face, and his
usual look of bored disdain is replaced with one of determination.
Richard Ramsley: "Travis Wakeman.... Money Mike... two men who are arguably the
biggest names to ever be in the TWF... you know, I really don't like you
guys. Travis, you're an over-confident, ego maniacal tool. And Mike?
You're a perverted, sophomoric, power-hungry fool. But you know what?
I know you two don't care if people like you... you only demand their
respect. And... I can admit, you both have mine. As much as I dislike
you, I can respect what you have, and what you've done to get there.
That being said... I hope you two can see where I'm coming from. See, I
don't want anything handed to me. I know that in order for me to be
the greatest wrestler this company has ever seen, I need to claw my way
there. That being said... all I ask is for one more chance. One more
match with that miscreant, Tirpak. At Anarchy Rulz, I want one more
chance to destroy Chris Tirpak, once and for all. And let's face
it... I'm not actually going to stop making his life a living Hell until
I'm given the chance to end his career. So I'm asking you... give me
my match". IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, CAMERAS HAVE CAUGHT MONICA AND ALBA RIOS, AFTER CROSSING PATHS. Monica: "All I can say is..... Alba Rios: "Oh save your threats, Monica, unless you want to be on the bad side of The Empire too". Monica: "You cost me my title at WrestleMania...... I don't care whether you're part of The Empire or not, I'm not gonna forget that". MONICA WALKS AWAY AND ALBA JUST LAUGHS AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE BROADCAST POSITION. Grisham: "Well fans we are just about ready to see Matt Cruz take on Matt Morgan but first, we're gonna take you to some pre-recorded comments from Jason Oliver". Lawler: "We also need to announce that it's now official.... at Anarchy Rulz, Jason Oliver will face Matt Cruz for the TWF World title and you, the fans, will get a chance to vote for what kind of match they will compete in"! **PRE-RECORDED** Jason Oliver is shown wearing a Guns N’ Roses shirt with black leather pants and a leather jacket over top. He’s also wearing black aviator sun glasses and a black bandana.
Jason Oliver: "Now since some people that will not be named should either learn how to do a damn intro or give up and go back to the kitchen and make me a damn samitch! Since they screwed up last Rampage you people are going to get the pleasure of listening to it. So in case you people have forgotten just who I am, I am the "King of Sting", "The Canadian Mustang", "The Alpha and Omega." I am the best damn wrestler competing today. However one thing I am not, one of the only things I am not, I am not the big dog in the TWF. Matt Cruz, at this moment, you are the measuring stick of success In the TWF. Forget Rockwell, forget Corey, forget Taker, Edge, Orton and forget the God damn Empire. It's you. You have the one thing that I want, need, crave, more then anything else in the world! You have the TWF title. So no more games Matt. You aren't Ogden, I don't hate you. So forget The Empire, forget Ogden, forget everything and anything that came before and will come after. This is about proving it to everyone who is the best in the TWF. Who deserves the lead the TWF! So Matt get ready, cause this isn't going to be a fight, this is going to be a wrestling match and you're going to learn just like everyone else has learned..... That this is my world and you just live in it"! BACK TO LIVE ACTION, MATT MORGAN IS IN THE RING ARGUING WITH SOME HECKLING FANS WHEN "THE NEXT EPISODE" HITS AND OUT STEPS MATT CRUZ, ALONG WITH MARIA, TO A HUGE RESPONSE. HE HAS THE TWF WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Grisham: "Well here we go..... one of tonight's feature matches"! Lawler: "Well Jason Oliver has gotten part of his wish.... but he said it's gonna be a pure wrestling match, it might not be a wrestling match at all depending on what these fans have the choice to vote on"! Grisham: "Well first Matt Morgan is the obstacle, and a very big one at that". 2010 TWF Draft/Non-Title Match Matt Morgan vs. World Champion: Matt "Madik" Cruz Right as the bell sounded, Morgan took a big swing at Cruz but Cruz avoided it and took Morgan down with a double leg takedown. Cruz began to pound on Morgan until referee Mike Chioda order them to seperate. Cruz got up and went right back at Morgan, attacking him while he was still on his knees. Morgan pushed him away and got up as Cruz ran in again, only to be smashed by a clubbing clothesline. Morgan then delivered a huge legdrop and the match totally changed. Morgan pulled Cruz up and flung him into the corner before turning his back to him and hitting him with some nasty elbows. Cruz fell to the mat in the corner and Morgan booted him right in the head. Maria came over to try and check on Cruz but Morgan yelled "Get away"! and she scurried back. After pulling Cruz up, Morgan grabbed him by the throat and delivered a thunderous chokeslam. Slowly, Morgan dropped to 2 knees and covered Cruz, but only got a 2 count. Cruz was still in it, but in a lot of trouble. Morgan got him up again but Cruz tried to fight him off. He gained some separation but Morgan went for a running boot. Cruz got out of the way and rolled him up for the 1.......2........, but Morgan pushed out. Back on the feet, Morgan went for the Carbon Footprint and Cruz avoided this as well. Cruz landed 2 right hands before trying to whip the big man to the ropes. Morgan reversed it and this time, kicked Cruz in the face. He picked Cruz up again and tried to powerbomb him but Cruz countered into a sunset flip of sorts and got the win. Match Time: 7:03 MORGAN SMASHED THE MAT WITH BOTH HANDS AS CRUZ GOT OUT OF THE RING WITH MARIA, TURNING TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO WALL. Grisham: "Matt Cruz has just won another draft pick for Rampage"! Lawler: "Let's see who it is"! Grisham: "Look at this"! Lawler: "Oh you gotta be kidding me"! Grisham: "These two men might not have faced off for the last time.... Matt Morgan is going to Rampage"! Lawler: "And we've still got the guaranteed draft picks left"! Grisham: "We will announce those when we get back plus..... the twenty man battle royal is still to come! Don't go away"! COMMERCIAL BREAK.......... A COMMERCIAL FOR VERIZON WIRELESS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE". RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.... WHEN THE MAIN EVENT RETURNS, THE RING IS FULL OF SUPERSTARS. 10 ARE WEARING ORANGE PRIMTIME SHIRTS AND 10 ARE WEARING RED SHIRTS FOR RAMPAGE. RING ANNOUNCER STEPHEN DeANGELIS STATES THAT THE WINNING SHOW WILL RECEIVE 2 DRAFT PICKS. 2010 TWF Draft/20 Man Over the top Battle Royal The bell sounded to start things and the war was on. The orange shirt-clad superstars from PrimeTime went at it with the guys from Rampage but the camera focused on two Rampage superstars, Chris Tirpak and Richard Ramsley, swinging away at each other. RVD came over to pull the two apart and was clearly explaining that this was a team event. But when RVD turned around, John Cena came running across the ring and clotheslined him over the top rope. Cena didn't stay in much longer when Dolph Ziggler dropkicked him in the back to eliminate him. Two of the biggest names in the match were already out. Ramsley and Tirpak started to brawl again. Joe Corey came over and nailed both men with right hands before grabbing Tirpak and trying to throw him out of the ring. Tirpak was able to stave off elimination but Wade Barrett wasn't so fortunate, being hit by John Morrison's roundhouse kick which put him out. Several eliminations followed that one as Vladimir Kozlov suplexed Ziggler out right at about the same time that Morrison was eliminated by Dylan Jansens. Kozlov charged across the ring, trying to catch Jansens by surprise but he pulled the top rope down and sent Kozlov sailing to the floor. Joe Corey then ran into the tandem of Tirpak and Jansens and the two veterans eliminated 'The Show' by combining forces. Rampage was clearly in charge at this point but the two tag teams of The Uso's and United Nations began to work together for the sake of PrimeTime. The Uso's eliminated Rob Storm as the U.N. dumped Chris Jericho on his head with a double flapjack. Jansens tried to take on both Uso's but that didn't go too well. After a double superkick, they dumped DJ to the floor. Out of nowhere came Randy Orton, delivering an "RKO" to both Jimmy and Jey Uso. But when he turned around, Blade smashed him with a fist to the throat area which allowed him to get the big elimination of Orton. Sheamus came over and blasted Blade with the Brogue Kick, but Rene Dupree and Paul Burchill were waiting. Sheamus turned into their clutches and they got him up, muscling him out of the ring. The Uso's and The U.N. were left to face Ramsley, Tirpak, Jericho and Christian. PrimeTime also had Blade, but after being smashed with Tirpak's kendo stick, he was eliminated. Shockingly, Ramsley came from behind and dumped Tirpak out of the ring, hampering Rampage's chances. Tirpak tried to get back into the ring but officials outside pulled him back. Jericho and Christian then combined to eliminate The U.N. one at a time. First, Burchill was thrown to Ramsley who grabbed him by the back of the head and threw him over the top rope. Dupree tried to take on both Christian and Y2J, but after scoring with a right hand on each man, Jericho crushed him with a jumping enziguri. Christian then threw him over the top rope. PrimeTime's hopes hinged on The Uso's, but they were already in 2 against 3 odds. They went full speed, attacking Christian and Jericho. But Ramsley came from behind, with Tirpak's kendo stick, and hit each man across the back. Jericho delivered the "Codebreaker" to Jimmy Uso which led to Ramsley clotheslining him over the top rope. Christian, Jericho and Ramsley then played rope-a-dope with Jey, who was eventually eliminated by Jericho. The bell sounded to end the battle royal and even though all 3 men were wearing Rampage T-shirts, they were ready to continue the fight..... with each other. That is, until the video wall started to run through the remaining superstars in the draft. Grisham: "What a showing for Rampage.... three men still standing"! Lawler: "And that's with eliminating one of their own teammates"! Grisham: "Well you know what this means King.... two draft picks to Rampage"! Lawler: "Oh my gosh.... look at this"! Grisham: "Two huge picks for Rampage..... Drew McIntyre and Kaval are coming to the top rated program on USA"! Lawler: "That's huge.... in my opinion.... Rampage is the winner of this year's draft"! Grisham: "Some good picks for both shows, but you know what all of this means..... earlier tonight, the guaranteed draft picks were selected at random for both shows and now, it's time to find out who those were". Lawler: "Okay, I guess we gotta start with PrimeTime". PRIMETIME RECEIVES: BETH PHOENIX AND CODY RHODES RAMPAGE RECEIVES: TAYLOR MADE AND SYLVESTER TERKAY THE SHOT RETURNS TO THE RING WHERE CARNEY, ALBA RIOS, DEVON WADE AND CRIS HENNING ARE STANDING. Grisham: "Well that does it for the 2010 TWF draft but we still have one more order of business"! Lawler: "Oh boy, I almost forgot about this". JUST THEN, MONEY MIKE AND MATT MORGAN COME OUT FROM THE BACK. TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND TRISH STRATUS FOLLOW. MONEY MIKE HAS A MICROPHONE. Money Mike: "Well let's just cut to the chase! No one will be teaming up with Jordan Rockwell tonight, but we've decided to spare him yet another beating! But rest assured Rockwell, you will get yours. But, I was reminded of something we needed to take care of..... and it can't wait. On the last edition of Rampage, a certain superstar decided to take things into his own hands..... actually threatening to pull the plug on Rampage! ALBA RIOS HANDS MIKE A SHEET OF PAPER. You see what I have here? This is a guaranteed contract for a TWF World title shot. It says..... Anarchy Rulz..... it says Matt Cruz defending the TWF World title in a triple threat match against Jason Oliver....... and M.X. Ogden". Lawler: "What"?! Money Mike: "So Ogden, if you had the nerve to show up here tonight, please come down to the ring now". Grisham: "Is he here? I haven't seen him tonight". AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, OGDEN APPEARS FROM THE BACK, A DEFIANT LOOK ON HIS FACE. HE BRISKLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING AND GETS RIGHT UP IN MIKE's FACE. MORGAN AND CARNEY STEP UP, BUT MIKE PUSHES THEM BACK. Money Mike (Laughs): "See.... this is exactly what I'm talking about. Because Ogden, I have a couple of things to tell you. The first..... is this. WITH THAT, MIKE RIPS THE CONTRACT IN HALF, RIGHT IN FRONT OF OGDEN. THEN, HE TURNS THE MICROPHONE AROUND AND SMACKS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH IT. LIKE A PACK OF DOGS, CARNEY, HENNING AND WADE ARE ALL OVER OGDEN. AFTER PUTTING THE BOOTS TO HIM FOR ALMOST 2 MINUTES, THEY PICK OGDEN UP AND PUSH HIM TO MORGAN WHO GETS HIM UP FOR THE "HELLEVATOR". THE CROWD CAN ONLY BOO AS MIKE PICKS UP A BEATEN OGDEN AND DELIVERS THE "MONEY PIT". Grisham: "Ogden has been picked apart here by The Empire..... this is brutal"! Money Mike: "Now, onto what I have been waiting to do for quite some time now. Ya see, at one point there was a stipulation that this person could no longer be a part of the TWF. Well, those days are over. Using the power where I can basically do whatever the hell I want..... allow me to introduce you to the now re-hired...... Stephanie McMahon"! THE CROWD IS IN SHOCK AS STEPHANIE MAKES HER WAY OUT TO THE RING WITH A GIGANTIC SMILE ON HER FACE. Grisham: "The Empire continues to grow! Stephanie McMahon has been added to the mix"! Lawler: "I can't believe this..... we haven't seen Stephanie in years"! WEARING A BEAUTIFUL SPARKLING DRESS, STEPHANIE GETS INTO THE RING AND IS HANDED THE MICROPHONE. Stephanie McMahon: "My first night back and I already get to have some fun. Ogden....... do you remember when you were defeated in the King's Throne match by my man.... Money Mike?! Well, if you want to keep your job, I suggest you kiss his feet and then apologize in front of all these people for your actions"! Grisham: "No way.... no way is Ogden gonna do this". Lawler: "Kiss his feet"? Grisham: "This is just abuse of power.... this has gone way too far". STEPHANIE PRESSES THE MICROPHONE AGAINST OGDEN's FACE. M.X. Ogden: "F......... Fu@* YOU"! Lawler: "What?! Oh my God"! MONEY MIKE GETS OGDEN UP AGAIN AND THROWS HIM TO CARNEY, WHO DELIVERS THE "C-DRIVE" BEFORE STEPHANIE McMAHON GETS DOWN CLOSE TO HIM. Stephanie McMahon: "Ogden...... you're.......... BEFORE SHE CAN FINISH, TRAVIS WAKEMAN TAPS HER ON THE SHOULDER. SHE TURNS TO LOOK AT HIM AND HE WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING, BUT DECIDES NOT TO. STEPHANIE THEN GETS A VERY EVIL GRIN. You're...... FIRED"! THE CROWD BOOS AND BEGINS TO THROW TRASH AND OBJECTS INTO THE RING. Grisham: "This is.... this is disgusting. The career of M.X. Ogden is gonna end this way". "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO PLAYS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT, TURNING THE BOOS TO CHEERS. ROCKWELL HAS A MICROPHONE IN HAND. Jordan Rockwell: "Ya know..... I had no problem facing those three punks tonight three on one. An Carney, at Anarchy Rulz, you will find out what it's like to get in there with the big dogs. But soon.... and I mean very soon..... there will be someone on my side..... there is someone who's not afraid to stand up to you........ and all I can say is, I won't be a damn bit sorry for anything that happens". ROCKWELL DROPS HIS MIC AND STANDS ATOP THE STAGE, STARING BACK AT THE ENTIRE EMPIRE. Grisham: "Has Jordan Rockwell lost his mind? What is he talking about"? Lawler: "Despite seeing what The Empire is capable of.... he just won't back down". OFF AIR.............
