THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE CRIME SCENE. ONE OF THE MANY POLICE OFFICERS COMES UP TO THE LEAD CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR AND THEY JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS AS THE TWF LOGO APPEARS IN A FLASHING BLUE COLOR ON THE CHALKLINE.
THE SHOT THEN GOES INSIDE THE ARENA AND SHOWS THE FOUL PLAY SET WHICH HAS THE LOGO SUSPENDED ABOVE THE VIDEO TRON. THE STAGE IS SET LIKE A CRIME SCENE WITH THE CHALK OUTLINE AND SEVERAL YELLOW MARKERS WITH LETTERS ON THEM, AS IF TO SIGNIFY SOME SORT OF EVIDENCE, TRAILING DOWN THE ENTRANCE RAMP. PYRO SPRAYS OFF THE SET AND THE CROWD LETS OUT A BURST OF CHEERS AND SCREAMS BEFORE THE CAMERA BECOMES FIXATED ON THE RAMPAGE ANNOUNCE POSITION. Jim Ross: "We are thrilled to have you aboard tonight for the eighth annual TWF Foul Play but tonight, King, it will be different than it ever has"! Jerry Lawler: "We've got a steel cage above the ring, the elimination chamber is above the ring..... every single match tonight will be contested under some sort of extreme stipulation"! J.R.: "And for the first time since 2003, Foul Play will be a joint pay-per-view event between Rampage and PrimeTime! Let's send it over to Michael Cole and the Honky Tonk Man"! Michael Cole: "Like our broadcast colleagues just said, this will be one of the most unique events in TWF history"! Honky Tonk Man: "No doubt about that! I hope they've got some extra paramedics in the house tonight, because this could get ugly"! THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "THIS FIRE BURNS" BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE COMES ON AND CM PUNK COMES OUT. Cole: "On the last edition of PrimeTime, CM Punk and Umaga were scheduled to go one on one, but they couldn't settle their differences and now, they meet here tonight at Foul Play"! HTM: "And not only that, but they meet in a Last Man Standing match, one of the toughest matches in this business"! UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING. Cole: "Here comes the crazed Samoan, Umaga, and to my knowledge, neither one of these men has ever participated in a Last Man Standing match". HTM: "One of these men will have to find a way to keep his opponent down for the count of ten and I know this Milwaukee crowd is way behind CM Punk, but I don't like his chances in this one".
Last Man Standing CM Punk vs. Umaga The crowd was buzzing after the show started with this immense matchup. Punk knew it would be tough to try and get in and slug it out with Umaga, so he
retorted to his quickness to throw the big man off. Umaga was up to the task though and after missing with a clothesline and then a backhand, he caught Punk in the air when he went for a crossbody before just throwing him over the top rope and
to the floor. Umaga went to the floor and pulled Punk up, pushing him into the ring post. Punk's back hit hard, but when Umaga ran in, Punk moved out of the way and Umaga hit the post. Punk reached under the ring and pulled out a kendo stick, wacking
the legs of the Samoan Bulldozer. Punk then took another swing but Umaga grabbed the stick and yanked it away before kicking Punk right in the chest. Umaga reached under the ring himself and pulled out a long wooden table. He began to set it up, but
right when he got it up, Punk jumped on his shoulders and had a sleeper hold locked in deep! The fans were screaming as they could see Umaga fading. Umaga went to one knee and moments later, Punk had put him out. Referee Marty Elias began to count and
he reached 7 before Umaga got up. Punk got back in the ring and waited for a groggy Umaga to get back in with him. Umaga came in and Punk landed a low dropkick to the face. He then went to the middle turnbuckle and jumped off but Umaga loaded up his thumb and
took Punk right out of the air with the "Samoan Spike". Suddenly, it appeared to be all over as Elias started to count again. Punk wasn't moving until about the count of 6 and he was able to use the ring ropes to pull himself up to a big cheer. Umaga went right
back on the attack, delivering a big Samoan drop before pulling Punk up by the hair. Umaga got his thumb ready again and let out a primal yell. But Punk avoided the Samoan Spike this type, flinging Umaga's arm out of the way before kicking him right in the face. After ducking a clothesline, Punk connected with a springboard dropkick before going outside the ring and grabbing a steel chair. Punk waited for Umaga to get up while he stood on the apron. When Umaga got up, Punk used the ropes to launch himself across the ring,
driving the chair into the face of Umaga! Umaga crashed on the mat as Elias started to count. The crowd was going nuts...... 1..........2..........3.......4..........5...........6..........7....., but Umaga began to stir, and just before Elias reached the count of
9, he was up. Punk hit him with the chair again, knocking him out of the ring. From there, Punk hit the ropes and ran across the ring, flying through the ring ropes for a suicide dive. Umaga somehow dodged it, though, and Punk landed hard on the floor. After a VERY stiff superkick, Umaga laid Punk across the table he set up earlier in the match. He then went back into the ring and climbed the turnbuckle, all the way to the top! The crowd was stunned and could not believe what they were watching. Just then, Umaga flew off like he was a lightheavyweight, slamming through Punk and the table with the Samaon Splash. A deafening "Holy Shit" chant took over the Kern Center as both men were down. Elias began to count, and it looked like a sure double count out. But Umaga showed his true toughness, standing up at the count of 8 as Punk lay in what was left of the table. Elias reached the count of 10 and called for the bell. Match Time: 8:00 Cole: "CM Punk has been broken here at the Kern Center! I can't believe the impact of that move"! HTM: "Like I mentioned earlier, they better have some extra paramedics on duty tonight"! UMAGA's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE HOBBLED UP THE RAMP, HOLDING HIS MIDSECTION WHILE REFEREE MARTY ELIAS AND A COUPLE EMTs CHECKED ON PUNK. Cole: "Let's go back and look at this! Just a sickening turn of events here for CM Punk"! A REPLAY OF THE SPLASH IS SHOWN FROM 3 DIFFERENT ANGLES. HTM: "Well we're sure off to a big start here tonight and if that's just the beginning, I shudder to think of what this night has in store for some of these guys". THE CAPACITY CROWD CHEERS AS PUNK IS HELPED TO HIS FEET AND THEN GUIDED BACKSTAGE. BACKSTAGE AREA...... IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS STANDING BY WITH AXL IRVIN. Lena Yada: "Axl, one of the main attractions tonight will be an elimination chamber match. Now, as one of the few superstars who has ever won an elimination chamber match, what kind of advice could you give the six guys in there tonight"? Axl Irvin: "Well, first off, I would be lying if........ AXL LOOKS UP AND STOPS TALKING WHEN J.J. RAMPLIN STEPS INTO THE SHOT. J.J. Ramplin: "Is this some kind of joke? You're asking for advice from.... from this guy? When was the last time you mattered"? Axl Irvin: "What the hell does this have to do with you? Unless I looked at something wrong, I don't think you have a match tonight". Ramplin: "Which is crap! You name one guy in the entire TWF who has been on more of a roll lately than me"! Axl Irvin: "So what do you want? Some kind of an award? Here, I got somethin' for ya". JUST THEN, AXL POPS RAMPLIN WITH A RIGHT HAND, KNOCKING HIM BACK. RAMPLIN FIRES BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN WHEN OFFICIALS STEP IN TO BREAK THE MEN UP, BUT THEY HAVE A TOUGH TIME DOING SO. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME" BY THREE DAYS GRACE PLAYS AND LUYU DAWNSTAR MAKES HER WAY TO THE RING. J.R.: "Wow, see what happens when you get the Rampage and PrimeTime guys together"? Lawler: "We've already seen CM Punk get crushed and a backstage brawl.... maybe things will lighten up with some of the divas". MICKIE JAMES' MUSIC PLAYS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A VERY GOOD POP WITH THE WOMEN's TITLE AROUND HER WAIST. J.R.: "I don't know, this is a falls count anywhere match, which I believe is a first in the TWF among any of the divas, but not only that, it's for the Women's title". Lawler: "I have to admit, I am a little disappointed. My notes say that China Rose is barred from ringside for this match, which means I'm not gonna get to see my favorite TWF couple tonight"! J.R.: "Oh that's just too bad, King, but this match has got much more on the line than that". Falls Count Anywhere/TWF Women's Title Match Challenger: Luyu Dawnstar vs. Mickie James
The bell sounded to start the match and Mickie came right at an unsuspecting Dawnstar, rocking her with some stiff forearm shivers. Off an irish whip, Luyu dove through Mickie's legs only to be caught with a spin kick to the abdomen. After a snap suplex, Mickie made the cover, but Luyu was up at 2. Mickie pulled her up, but seemed to lose focus for a second as Dawnstar rolled her up with a small package and got a 1........2........., but Mickie was up. Both women went for a right hand, but Mickie had more behind hers. Off an irish whip to the corner, Mickie ran across the ring and went for a monkey flip but Luyu held onto the top ring rope to block it. After a wicked spinning heel kick to the face, Luyu went for the "Eagle's Landing", but Mickie countered and caught her with a kick to the midsection.
Luyu stumbled back in pain and fell through the top and middle ropes, landing hard on the floor. Mickie vaulted over the top rope, landing right on Luyu. Referee Jack Doan was slow to get out of the ring and as a result, only got a 2 count. Both women got to their feet and Mickie whipped Luyu hard into the ring steps before rolling her back into the ring.
Mickie got on the apron and went for a shoulder to the abdomen but Luyu countered nicely by sticking her knee in the way. Luyu then grabbed Mickie and incredibly brought her back into the ring
with the Eagle's Landing, right into a cover. She had Mickie's legs grapevined tight as Doan dropped down to issue the 3 count. Match Time: 4:55 Lawler: "She got her! We've got a new champion"! J.R.: "Oh did Luyu Dawnstar put Mickie down hard or what?! That was a sure as hell slobberknocker"! "ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME" PLAYED AGAIN AS LUYU RAISED THE WOMEN's TITLE OVER HER HEAD AND WENT UP THE RAMP TOWARDS THE BACK. Lawler: "Look, she's probably going to celebrate with China Rose! How do we get the cameras to follow"?! BACKSTAGE...... LENA YADA IS STANDING WITH BOTH EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA. Lena Yada: "Eddie, you have been granted one of the six spots in tonight's number one contender elimination chamber match, but, Shane McMahon said you better make the most of the oppurtunity". MONICA TAKES THE MICROPHONE FROM LENA. Monica: "Shane McMahon better watch what he says! Ya see, Eddie and I are tired of all the crap that Shane and the people above him pull. Eddie has beaten everyone that has been put in front him, and not gotten one damn title shot! Eddie has been here and taken on the best, and what did he get at WrestleMania?! He had to deal with that freak Nails! And Nails, you mark my words, Eddie is going to hurt you in that chamber tonight, on his way to winning the whole thing"! MONICA DROPS THE MICROPHONE ON THE FLOOR AND WALKS AWAY AND THE SAINT FOLLOWS. CAMERAS SHOW AND THEN ZOOM IN ON A SINGAPORE CANE HANGING FROM A POLE. J.R.: "There's a look at the Singapore cane, a dangerous weapon which will be the key to this match". "ALL AROUND ME" BY FLYLEAF COMES ON AND M.X. OGDEN MAKES HIS WAY OUT ALONG WITH CANDICE, TO MOSTLY BOOS. Lawler: "This one should just be called Eye Spy collides"! J.R.: "It was at WrestleMania when Eye Spy lost a match to the Hart Foundation who reunited for one match, but in my opinion, it was M.X. Ogden that was the reason for that seperation". "PICTURES" BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN HITS AND ALEX SHELLEY COMES OUT TO A VERY MIXED REACTION, CARRYING HIS TRIPOD AND CAMCORDER TO THE RING. Lawler: "Ogden felt that he was carrying the team, it happens all the time! But look at Shelley, he thinks Eye Spy is still going strong, he's coming out here with the camera"! J.R.: "Well maybe after they beat the hell out of each other, they'll see eye to eye again, who knows. But the first man to climb up and retrieve that Singapore cane can use it, and that would be a huge advantage". Singapore Cane Match Alex Shelley vs. M.X. Ogden w/ Candice
A Singapore can was suspended about 12 feet in the air, hanging from a pole. The bell sounded and both men gave the cane a look before Shelley ran towards that corner. But Ogden ran up from behind and pulled his former tag team partner to the mat. Ogden threw a right hand but Shelley blocked it and connected with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head before snapping Ogden to the mat with an arm drag. Working a top wristlock, Shelley tried to keep Ogden grounded before kicking him in the square of the back as hard as he could. Shelley then ran the ropes and drilled Ogden with a low dropkick. Shelley looked up at the weapon hanging above, and he began to climb the turnbuckle, and then the pole. Shelley
had his fingertips on the cane, but Ogden climbed up to the middle turnbuckle and grabbed him from behind, delivering a huge backdrop suplex that the crowd loved. Ogden got up first and belted Shelley with some stiff kicks to the ribs. When Shelley got up, Ogden pulled him in for a nice swinging neckbreaker. It was Ogden's turn to go after the cane, but when he got to the top rope, Shelley dropkicked his feet right out from under him, knocking him to the mat. Shelley then caught him with the Shellshock, and he appeared to have things well in control. But suddenly, Jason Oliver came running through out from the back and into the ring and Shelley turned right into the Claymore! Oliver then went to the top and got the Singapore cane. Ogden got to his feet, and Oliver tossed him the weapon. Shelley stumbled up moments later before Ogden swung the cane with all his might, cracking it over
Shelley's head. He then covered him for the 1........2............3. Match Time: 4:17 J.R.: "What in the hell is this about?! Jason Oliver just helped Ogden steal this thing"! Lawler: "I don't know what Oliver is doing out here, but look at this"! After the match, Ogden went outside and asked Candice for something, and she pulled a long chain out of her bikini top. She handed it to Ogden, and with the help of Oliver, he tied Shelley to one of the steel ring posts. Ogden then took the camera and tripod that Shelley came to the ring with, and smashed them on the floor. The camera broke into about 100 pieces. Ogden then grabbed the Singapore cane and he was about to hit Shelley again when Oliver stopped him. Oliver wanted to do the honors, and Ogden handed him the cane. BOOM!! Oliver smashed the cane over Shelley's head again and he left along with Ogden and Candice to some major heat. Shelley was a beaten man, still tied to the post as officials came out to help. Lawler: "Well I never like to agree with anything the Honky Tonk Man says, but he was right on about what he said earlier about the paramedics"! J.R.: "They need to set up some kind of triage area in the back, but it looks like M.X. Ogden and Jason Oliver have destroyed anything that was left of Eye Spy"! Lawler: "Literally and figuratively"! FONT COLOR= "WHITE">BACKSTAGE...... JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, LACING HIS BOOTS, WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS COMES IN. Shawn Michaels: "You ready, we're up next". Jordan Rockwell: "Just about". MICHAELS CLOSES THE DOOR TO AN OPEN LOCKER, AND THERE IS A STICKER WITH A WEIRD SYMBOL ON IT. THE SYMBOL HAS THE LETTERS U AND N AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLORED STARS. Michaels: "What is this? I've seen this sign a couple times this week". Rockwell: "Eh, who knows, let's go, let's do this thing". ROCKWELL LEAVES THE ROOM AND MICHAELS IS STILL STANDING THERE. Michaels (to himself): "Let me guess, it's showtime". IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH MONEY MIKE. Todd Grisham: "Money Mike, tonight, you will face your long time rival John Cena in a first blood match. Your thoughts"? Money Mike: "Ya know, I don't think about much these days, so I don't have any thoughts. What I do know is that after that match, Cena won't know what hit him". THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING AND THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS AS THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES ARE SHOWN, SUSPENDED FROM A CABLE ABOVE THE RING. Cole: "Tables, ladders and chairs, oh my! Are you ready for this one, partner"?! THE CROWD GOES WILD AS THE OLD HARDY's MUSIC HITS AND MATT AND JEFF RUN OUT, EACH WEARING BLACK CARGO STYLE JEANS AND BLACK MESH SHIRTS. HTM: "They didn't have anything like the TLC match in my day... this is gonna be nuts"! Cole: "The Hardy's and their risk taking style fit right into this match, but they haven't teamed up in some time and they will be facing a team quickly becoming one of the best in TWF history". "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS SHAWN MICHAELS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COME OUT FROM THE BACK. HTM: "I still don't understand how two men with egos the size that these guys have, can be so successful. I mean, you got the Franchise and the Showstopper, it's bound to end sometime, right"? Cole: "Well that time could be tonight because Matt and Jeff Hardy would love to win the tag team titles which believe it or not, they've never held"! TLC/TWF Tag Team Title Match Challengers: The Hardy's vs. Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels
The anticipation for this match was crazy as chants of "Hardy's", "Rockwell" and "HBK" littered the arena at different intervals. The match started with the 4 men shaking hands, showing the respect they have for one another. But seconds later,Matt connected with a right hand on Rockwell just as Jeff landed one on Michaels. Both men went for irish whips but Michaels and Rockwell both reversed them. Hardy dove through the legs of Rockwell before scoring with a big jumping bulldog right as Michaels backdropped Jeff over the top rope. Michaels then turned and fired a right hand at Matt, but Matt blocked it and hip tossed Michaels across the ring. Jeff got to his feet and he was thinking way ahead, grabbing a table and sliding it
in to his brother. Matt propped the table up in the corner, but when he turned around, the tag champs were both up and after they each hit a kick to the abdomen, they lifted Matt over with a double suplex. Rockwel made his way toward the table, but
Jeff was standing behind it and he pushed it right into the face of The Franchise. Jeff pushed the table out of the way, but Michaels erased him with the "Sweet Chin Music"! With the other 3 men down, Michaels brought the first ladder into the ring.
But before he could do anything with it, or even get back into the ring, Matt took him out with a baseball slide. Matt returned to his feet and flew onto HBK with a nice plancha from there. In the ring, Rockwell and Jeff Hardy both slowly got to their
feet, and Rockwell beat him to the punch with a right hand. He then whipped him to one of the corners, but Jeff nicely jumped to the top rope and flew off with the Whisper in the Wind, taking Rockwell out. Jeff Hardy saw a brief glimpse of hope and he went for
the ladder, setting it up. But as he positioned it, Rockwell got back up and tipped the ladder over, knocking Jeff off and he landed hard on the ring ropes. Outside the ring, Matt Hardy had stacked two tables on top of each other and he grabbed a steel chair, bringing it into the ring. But Rockwell had also gotten a chair, and he and Matt swung them at the same time. CLANG! A loud smash was heard as the chairs hit each other, and both men stumbled back. But Matt took his chair and threw it right at the face of Rockwell before kicking him low and connecting with the "Twist of Fate". A good portion of the crowd was cheering as Matt made his way up the ladder, but Michaels got back in the ring and went up the ladder, meeting Matt at the top. The two traded right hands, but Michaels snuck in a jab with his forearm before just pushing Matt off to the mat! Michaels then looked up, but the ladder was a good 4 feet from the titles hanging above the ring. So Michaels went to the top of the ladder and flew off with an insane moonsault, landing right on Matt! Another "Holy Shit" chant broke out as both men were down and in a lot of pain. Rockwell got to his feet, but Jeff Hardy came in and pounded him over the head again with one of the chairs before hitting him across his already very hurt right arm. Jeff then looked up at the titles and some of the fans were jumping up and down in their seats as he ascended the ladder..... slowly. This gave Michaels time to get up and he climbed the ladder on the other side. Matt Hardy was able to use his feet to push Rockwell towards the ropes, right onto the tables he stacked on top of each other. Both Jeff Hardy and HBK were at the top of the ladder, trading shots. But after ramming Michaels face first off of the top step of the ladder, Jeff Hardy had a chance to grab the belts but instead, he used Michaels as an extra step, standing on his shoulders and jumping off towards the double stacked tables. At the last second, Rockwell moved off the tables as Jeff broke through them with a seated senton bomb! The crowd was roaring in disbelief as Matt Hardy looked up, seeing Michaels at the top of the ladder. Matt made a furious effort to get back in the ring and climb the ladder, grabbing HBK's right foot. But Rockwell came back in, smashing a chair across the back of Matt Hardy as Michaels was given the last bit of relief he needed in order to reach
up and snatch the Tag Team titles. He then threw one of the belts to Rockwell, who caught it as the bell sounded. Match Time: 22:21 J.R.: "Rockwell and Michaels have retained the titles! What a match"! HTM: "I want to have a personal aptitude test done on Jeff Hardy! What the hell was that?! He had a chance to grab the belts, but he jumped off that ladder! Ugh, all that hair dye must be killing brain cells, cause that was just dumb"! "BACK IN BLACK" PLAYED AGAIN AS ROCKWELL AND MICHAELS TRIED TO HELP THE HARDY's UP, BUT SUDDENLY, THEY WERE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY WILLIAM REGAL, PAUL BURCHILL AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV. THERE WAS ALSO A YOUNG BRUNETTE OUT AT RINGSIDE, BARKING OUT ORDERS. Cole: "What the hell is this?! Regal and a couple of new comrades are all over the champions"! REGAL PUT ROCKWELL DOWN WITH A NASTY DDT BEFORE BURCHILL AND KOZLOV PICKED UP ONE OF THE LADDERS AND USED IT TO CLOTHESLINE MICHAELS, KNOCKING HIM OUT OF THE RING. THE CROWD BOOED AS THE WOMAN CAME INTO THE RING AND RAISED THE HANDS OF ALL 3 MEN. HTM: "Wow, this was a well planned attack". Cole: "I still have no idea what is going on here, but it looks to me like William Regal is the ring leader of this group, and they have destroyed our Tag Team champions following a grueling title defense"! BACKSTAGE........ LENA YADA IS STANDING WITH CHRIS TIRPAK. Lena Yada: "Chris Tirpak, you are just moments away from a shot at the Universal title, which you didn't even have to use the WrestleMania Jackpot to obtain". Chris Tirpak: "Do you realize how long I've been waiting for this? I've gotten one shot at the Universal title in my entire TWF career and tonight, I plan to make it count. (He raises the brief case up in his right hand) Who knows, Edge might have to beat me twice". TIRPAK WALKS AWAY, HEADING TOWARD THE RING AS THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE KERN CENTER, WHERE THE SUN IS STARTING TO GO DOWN. Cole: "Over fourteen thousand fans made the trek down to the Kern Center here in Milwaukee, and among them are some of the Milwaukee Bucks, take a look"! BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, SOME OF THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS ARE SHOWN SITTING IN THE FIRST ROW. DAN GADZURIC, CHARLIE VILLENUEVA AND MICHAEL REDD ARE ALL SHOWN AND THEY LOOK EXCITED TO BE THERE. THE CAMERA THEN GETS A SHOT OF THE RING, WHICH IS NOW SURROUNDED BY A 15 FOOT HIGH STEEL CAGE. THE CROWD GOES INTO A FRENZY WHEN "TNT" BY AC/DC BLARES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND A SPOTLIGHT FURIOUSLY SEARCHES FOR THE CHALLENGER TO THE UNIVERSAL TITLE. SECONDS LATER, CHRIS TIRPAK APPEARS AMIDST A CROWD OF FANS, RAISING A KENDO STICK IN THE AIR. Cole: "And we are ready for the Universal title match and here comes the man who is in possession of the WrestleMania Jackpot, but Honky, he didn't even have to use it to get this match"! HTM: "Just another head-scratching decision made by Shane McMahon. I mean, he gives Chris Tirpak, a Rampage superstar, a shot at our title"? Cole: "Shane McMahon felt that Tirpak deserved this oppurtunity, given the uniqueness of this event". TIRPAK GETS INTO THE CAGE, AND WILDLY WACKS THE CAGE WALL WITH HIS KENDO STICK. HE ALSO HAS THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE WITH HIM, WHICH HE SETS OUTSIDE THE RING BY THE DOOR OF THE CAGE. HTM: "So what happens if he wins this match? Does that mean that both of the top titles in the TWF go to Rampage"?! "YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME" IS HEARD AND IT LEADS INTO "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE. EDGE THEN STEPS OUT WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Cole: "From what I understand, yes, that would be the case. Chris Tirpak is contracted to Rampage, so he would be taking the belt there"! HTM: "What am I worried about? This is Edge we're talking about! He can beat Chris Tirpak"! Cole: "If one of these men escapes the cage either by climbing out or by going through the door, they win the match. But, pinfalls and submissions will get a decision in this match as well". Steel Cage/TWF Universal Title Match Challenger: Chris Tirpak vs. Edge Before the match got started, Edge paced around the ring, delaying getting in. Tirpak was inside, smacking his kendo stick on the mat, daring the champion to come in. Edge refused to get in until Tirpak put the weapon down and referee Mike Chioda made him do just that. Tirpak tossed the kendo stick out of the cage and Edge climbed in. Right as he did, Tirpak was all over him with forearms to the head and back. After a kick to the gut, Tirpak delivered a big suplex and went for the cover, but Edge was up at 1. Tirpak yanked Edge up and whipped him into the corner where he smashed him with a clothesline before picking him up for a big sidewalk slam. Tirpak hooked the leg and this time, got a 2 count. In fact, Tirpak went for a cover after every offensive move he hit. Edge kicked out of 6 pin attempts before Tirpak got him up for the "Lights Out" and he got free, pulling Tirpak down to the mat by his head. Edge then got up and shook off the cobwebs before pounding Tirpak with a flurry of right hands. An irish whip sent Tirpak to the ropes and Edge kicked him in the abdomen before catching him with a running knee lift. An irate Edge then got down on the mat and slammed the back of Tirpak's head into the mat multiple times. From there, Edge made an attempt to leave the cage. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as he made his way up one side of the cage. He was nearly at the top when Tirpak got up and went after him. He used the ring ropes to climb up and grabbed Edge by the back of the tights, pulling them down and exposing his buttocks! This distracted Edge long enough for Tirpak to yank him down to the mat. He then got down and hit Edge with a big impaler DDT, rolling him over for the 1........2........, but again, Edge was up. Tirpak pulled him to his feet but Edge dropped to his knees and connected with a big lowblow. That gave Edge time to pull up his tights before kicking Tirpak right in the side of the head. Edge then asked for the referee outside the ring, Mickey Henson, to open the cage door. But just as he did, Tirpak came from behind with a shot to Edge before grabbing him by the back of the head and throwing him into the cage. Edge bounced off it hard before Tirpak laid him out with a right hand. Tirpak then tried to make his way out through the door, but Edge went after him, stopping him before he could get all the way out. The battle ensued and after another low kick, Edge ran the ropes and went for a clothesline, but Tirpak was thinking the same thing and both men were down. The fans were cheering and trying to really Tirpak to get up, but Edge was up first. He began to crawl towards the open cage door. He was about halfway out, but Tirpak grabbed his leg from behind and tried to pull him back in. Edge fought and clawed to get free but he was able to grab the WrestleMania Jackpot briefcase, tucking it under his chest. Tirpak pulled Edge back into the center of the ring, but when he went to pick him up, Edge smashed him right in the face with the briefcase! Tirpak stumbled back as Edge got up and from there, he ran through Tirpak with a vicious spear as Chioda got down to make the 1.......2...........3! Match Time: 10:40 Cole: "He got him! Edge has successfully retained the Universal title but he has done it under some very questionable circumstances"! HTM: "Why?! There's no disqualifications in a cage match! There's no disqualifications in any match tonight! I just find it ironic that the very briefcase that holds Chris Tirpak's future, cost him the match tonight"! "METALINGUS" PLAYED AS EDGE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE AND, USING ONE OF THE SUPPORT CABLES TO STAND UP, HELD THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS RIGHT HAND AS THE MAJORITY OF THE CROWD BOOED. Cole: "Well, at least you can quit worrying about our title going over to Rampage. Tirpak is still out". BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK CATCH A CONVERSATION BETWEEN PJ CASH, JBL AND BOTH TED DIBIASE AND HIS SON, DIBIASE, JR. Ted Dibiase: "Exactly! Did you see what we did to that ingrate Tatanka?! He can go tell everyone in his little Lakota tribe not to cross the Million Dollar Man"! JBL: "There's no doubt about that! Hey, has your son ever read my book"? Ted Dibiase, Jr.: "Oh yeah, read it a long time ago. But you know what I just realized? We might have the four richest men in the TWF standing right here". PJ Cash: "But what has it gotten us"? JBL: "Excuse me"? Cash: "I said, what has it gotten us? We're all standing here talking, and not one of us has a match tonight". JBL LOOKS VERY UPSET, BUT THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN STEPS IN. Ted Dibiase: "Look, I know you're young, but you'll realize that money buys all things. Beautiful women, nice cars, luxury homes, and one day, it will buy things here in the TWF. So don't sweat being left off the card at an event like this anyway". Cash: "Yeah, I'm gonna go back to the hotel and...... probably spend some money on some overpriced room service". JBL: "That a boy, we'll catch up with ya later". PJ CASH WALKS AWAY AND IS HEADED DOWN A HALLWAY. WHEN HE TURNS THE CORNER, HE HEARS A VOICE. Voice: "Hey..... kid". CASH TURNS AROUND TO SEE DYLAN JANSENS STANDING UP AGAINST THE WALL. Dylan Jansens: "No matter what those guys say..... money does not buy everything. You need to learn to be a leader.... not a follower". CASH AND JANSENS ENGAGE IN A BRIEF STAREDOWN BEFORE JANSENS WALKS AWAY. Cash (to himself): "Who does that guy think he is, one of the three wise men"? "MY TIME IS NOW" HITS AS THE ARENA COMES BACK INTO THE SHOT AND JOHN CENA MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "Well, King, I guess we're gonna give Cole and the Honky Tonk Man a break and call this one ourselves". Lawler: "Fine with me, I'm always up for a good first blood match". J.R.: "We've seen some very hardcore action tonight but the worst might be yet to come as John Cena and Money Mike are sure to beat the hell out of one another here"! "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD PLAYS AND MONEY MIKE STEPS OUT TO SOME MAJOR HEAT. HE IS WEARING A T-SHIRT THAT SAYS "STILL THE KING OF KINGS..... AND I STILL HATE THE FANS". Lawler: "John Cena is probably the man most responsible for the departure of Stephanie McMahon from TWF tv and you know that Money Mike wants to make him bleed for that.... literally". J.R.: "That is without a doubt the case, but I know I'm not the only one who has noticed a total change in the demeanor of Money Mike". Lawler: "Well why do you suppose that is? Let's pretend that you could actually get a hot young girl, J.R., and you and her literally have the world by the palm of your hand, only to have it taken away by John Cena and some guy from the UFC"! J.R.: "Well if Money Mike doesn't want his entire career to crumble right before him, he better come out swinging, ready to bust Cena wide open"! First Blood Match John Cena vs. Money Mike The bell sounded and Cena took of his t-shirt, throwing it at Mike. Mike ran at him and threw a right hand, but Cena blocked it and fired back with right hand after right hand before whipping him to the ropes. Cena missed with a clothesline but Mike went for one as well which Cena ducked before delivering his spinning side suplex. From there, Cena connected with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, and most of the fans were booing. A very distinct "Cena sucks" chant could be heard as he pulled Money Mike up and whipped him to the corner. But Mike stuck a foot right in his face before drilling him with a hard clothesline. Mike then went outside and got a steel chair, sliding it into the ring. But when he went to pick it up, Cena used a drop toehold before locking in the STFU! Mike was in a lot of trouble in the hold, in the center of the ring. Finally, Mike tapped out but with there being no blood, there was nothing referee Jim Korderas could do. Cena broke the hold and pulled Mike up before hitting the ropes but Mike was able to stand up and kick him right in the crotch. He then grabbed Cena and delivered the "Money Pit" right on the steel chair he had brought in. Cena grabbed the back of his head in a lot of pain, but he wasn't bleeding. Mike went and removed one of the top turnbuckle pads before getting Cena up. He tried to ram him face first into it, but Cena used his foot to block it before countering with an elbow to the face. He then bounced Mike off the exposed pad, and the crowd thought for sure the match was over. Mike, however, was not bleeding. Cena picked up the steel chair and waited for Mike to get up, but suddenly, a man wearing a skull cap and black warm-up pants jumped over the guardrail and came into the ring. Cena turned around but the man took him down with a double leg and pounded away on his face, hitting him with at least 20 stiff punches. The man got up and removed the skull cap...... it was Tito Ortiz! Money Mike got up and pointed out the fact that Cena was busted open to referee Korderas, who had no choice but to call for the bell. Money Mike and Ortiz then shook hands as before Ortiz raised Mike's arm in victory. Match Time: 8:00 J.R.: "I'll be damned! Tito Ortiz has cost John Cena this match"! Lawler: "He busted him wide open..... look how bad he's bleeding"! "KING OF KINGS" HIT AS ORTIZ WALKED UP THE RAMP ALONG WITH MONEY MIKE. CENA, STILL BLEEDING BADLY, JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF IN THE RING. J.R.: "I wanna know what gives Tito Ortiz the right to be here! Where the hell is security"! BACKSTAGE..... MUHAMMAD HASSAN's OFFICE....... THE MAJOR BROTHERS WALK INTO THE OFFICE OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN, WHERE ELIJAH BURKE AND SYLVESTER TERKAY ARE ALREADY STANDING. Brett Major: "What happened to our match? We were supposed to get these guys, in a table match, for the vacant titles". Muhammad Hassan: "Calm down, the match is set for the next Rampage. But something has come up. Terkay, you are going to be needed for something else tonight, stay in my office. Majors..... you're excused". THE MAJOR BROTHERS LEAVE THE OFFICE SHAKING THEIR HEADS. TODD GRISHAM HAS CAUGHT UP TO MONEY MIKE AND TITO ORTIZ, BOTH OF WHOM ARE TRYING TO CATCH THEIR BREATH. Todd Grisham: "Okay guys, what the hell just happened out there"? Money Mike: "What happened was the culmination of a great plan! I told you Cena wouldn't know what hit him"! Grisham: "But, it was Tito who basically won that......... Money Mike: "Shut up! Tito has some news..... if you don't mind". Tito Ortiz: "That's right! You all know that my contract with the UFC expired, and I was ready to try something new. Well that something new just happens to be the TWF! I have signed a three year contract with Shane McMahon and PrimeTime so look out, cause now you guys got the Huntington Beach Bad Boy"! THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER HAS COME DOWN. Cole: "Big things happening here on PrimeTime, we've landed Tito Ortiz"! HTM: "Yeah, but something even bigger is about to go down, the first ever extreme elimination chamber match"! THE LIGHTS IN THE BUILDING GO OUT AND "MISERIA CANTARE" STARTS UP BEFORE JOE COREY COMES OUT FROM THE ECW ENTRANCE TO SOME HEAVY HEAT. Cole: "Numbers were randomly drawn to see what order each man would come into the ring, and keep in mind that the winner of this match will earn a Universal title match". HTM: "Yeah, and keep in mind that each one of those pods inside that chamber contains a weapon, which will be introduced to the match when that superstar comes in"! COREY ENTERS A POD WHICH CONTAINS A STEEL CHAIR WITH THE ECW LOGO ON IT. "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR PLAYS AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT TO A STRONG CHEER. Cole: "This could easily be the most dangerous match in the history of the TWF..... so many things could happen here"! CHAOS WOLF ENTERS A POD THAT HAS A CHEESE GRATER INSIDE. HTM: "Look at that cheese grater.... can you imagine that ripping the flesh off of one of these guys"? "I WILL BE HEARD" BY HATEBREED COMES ON AND EDDIE SAINT JAMES COMES OUT ALONG WITH MONICA TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. Cole: "Well here comes a man and a woman for that matter who have made a lot of noise on PrimeTime of late! In fact, you could go as far as to say the actions of these two led to Shane McMahon making this match"! HTM: "New entrance music for Eddie Saint James to go along with his new, take no BS attitude! I like it"! Cole: "The Saint coming out with Monica as usual, but did you notice Joe Corey come out here without Paul Heyman"? HTM: "Well after Heyman's foul-up at WrestleMania, it might not be a bad idea on Corey's part". THE SAINT GETS INTO A POD WHICH HAS A BARBED WIRE 2x4 INSIDE. JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AGAIN AND A BELL TOLLS. THE BELL TOLLS AGAIN AND THE CROWD IS LOUDLY CHEERING IN THE DARK. SECONDS LATER, THE UNDERTAKER's IMAGE CAN BE SEEN THROUGH THE FOGGY ENTRANCE. HE SLOWLY WALKS TO THE RING. Cole: "Well this man needs no introduction. The Undertaker has always been a lethal weapon in his own right, and the only pod still open has some sort of biker chain in it. I shudder to think what the deadman will do with that"! HTM: "Well if I'm one of the other five men in this match, whether I like anyone or not, I'm teaming up with them to make sure The Undertaker is taken out"! THE UNDERTAKER GETS INTO HIS POD WHICH IS THEN SHUT AS "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT PLAYS AND NAILS COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER. Cole: "Speaking of dangerous superstars, has there ever been a more sadistic superstar in the TWF than this man"?! HTM: "Nails is going to be extremely dangerous, but he has to start this match and he won't have a weapon, which could be a huge advantage to everyone else"! BOOS FILL THE KERN CENTER WHEN "VOICES" BY REV THEORY KICKS UP AND RANDY ORTON SLOWLY SAUNTERS TO THE RING WITH AN EVIL GRIN ON HIS FACE. Cole: "And it looks like Randy Orton was the other man to draw a short straw". HTM: "Don't underestimate Orton in this match! He is as tough as they come and he probably knows how to find a way to win better than anyone in this match"! Cole: "Orton and Nails will start the match and after five minutes, another superstar will join the fray, bringing a weapon with them. After that, it will be every two minutes before another superstar enters and the last man standing will be the winner". Extreme Elimination Chamber/#1 Contender for Universal Title "The Show" Joe Corey vs. Chaos Wolf vs. Eddie Saint James vs. The Undertaker vs. Nails vs. Randy Orton Nails and Orton began slugging it out as the bell sounded and Orton quickly lost that battle. After landing some stiff right hands, Nails dropped Orton with a headbutt. He then picked him up for the "Nail Driver" but Orton escaped and went for the "RKO" which Nails countered perfectly, tossing Orton over the top rope and he landed hard on the chamber platform. Nails came out with him and pulled Orton up, ramming him into the pod containing Eddie Saint James. Nails had some words for The Saint, telling him to come in. But The Saint just held up the barbed wire 2x4 that was in his cell. As this was going on, Orton came from behind with a hard shot on Nails before delivering a backdrop suplex right on the steel. Orton made a cover, but Nails was up at 2. Orton pounded away on Nails for the next couple minutes before the timer sounded off at the 5 minute mark and Chaos Wolf came into the ring with the cheese grater. He went right after Orton but Orton saw him coming and got a big kick to the gut in. He then grabbed the cheese grater and smacked Nails with it as he stood up. But Wolf got up and attacked Orton, pounding him with right hands before throwing him hard into the chamber wall. Wolf then tried to lock in the Gogoplata choke hold, but Orton was able to avoid it. Nails got up and kicked Orton right in the head before he and Wolf delivered a double suplex on the steel. Orton was in a lot of trouble but Joe Corey was next to enter the ring, and he had the steel chair with him. He first pounded Nails over the head before driving it into the ribs of Wolf. After sending Wolf into one of the pods head first, Corey loaded him up for the "Showstopper" but Orton delivered a huge dropkick on Corey. Nails then got up and picked up Corey's chair before smacking Orton across the back with it. The buzzer went off again and Eddie Saint James came into the match with a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. The Saint hit Orton, Corey and Chaos Wolf with the weapon, and Orton was busted open with it. But Saint James went right after Nails, digging the weapon into his head while trying to rip off his hockey mask. Nails fought him off, but The Saint kicked him and delivered a big DDT on the steel. Meanwhile, Corey and Orton were double-teaming Chaos Wolf in the ring when the final buzzer sounded and The Undertaker joined the match. Carrying a biker's chain, The Undertaker wrapped the weapon around his fist and struck all 5 of his opponents, knocking them silly. Undertaker then scooped Orton up and delivered the Tombstone, crossing his arms for the 3 count. Nails got up and grabbed the steel chair, but Taker turned around and kicked it right in his face. The Undertaker then grabbed Nails by the throat and chokeslammed him right on the chair before pinning him. Corey, Wolf and The Saint knew they were in trouble, so they all put their differences aside and went after the deadman. Undertaker was able to fight off both Wolf and The Saint, but Corey got in a lowblow from behind before putting The Undertaker down with the Showstopper. He covered him, but referee Mike Enos only got a 2 count before The Undertaker got his right shoulder off the mat. Corey then hit the ropes, but Taker kicked him right in the face before grabbing him by the throat and chokeslamming him on the steel platform outside the ring. The Saint came from behind with a chop block on The Undertaker before hitting him in the back with the 2x4. But Chaos Wolf had snuck outside the ring and covered Corey for the 1........2............3! The Saint waited for The Undertaker to get up and he got him on his shoulders for the "Death to Humanity", but Taker somehow got free and he scooped The Saint up for a ring shaking Tonbstone piledriver, covering him for the 3 count. Undertaker was very slow to get up, and when he did, Chaos Wolf came from behind with something in his hand. It was a stun gun, and he pressed it up against The Undertaker's abdomen, shocking him for a solid 5 seconds. Undertaker crumpled to the mat before Wolf grabbed the steel chair and smashed him over the head with it. Undertaker fell to the mat and Wolf had a look in his eyes of utter shock. But he covered The Undertaker and Enos pounded the mat for the 1........2.........3! Match Time: 14:28 Cole: "Chaos Wolf has won the match! He had a stun gun, and it put The Undertaker out"! HTM: "Chaos Wolf has become the number one contender, but he better develop eyes in the back of his head after what he just did"! "REMEMBER THE NAME" PLAYED AS WOLF WALKED UP THE RAMP, LOOKING BACK AT THE RING. AS THE CHAMBER WAS BEING RAISED, THE UNDERTAKER SAT UP AND LOOKED AT WOLF, WHOSE EYES LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE ABOUT TO POP OUT OF HIS HEAD. Cole: "You're right, partner. Chaos Wolf is victorious, but at what cost has it come"? HTM: "He might not be around long enough to get that title shot". CAMERAS FOLLOW CHAOS WOLF INTO THE BACK, AND HE QUICKLY LEAVES THE ARENA. "NO CHANCE" PLAYS AND VINCE McMAHON COMES TO THE RING AND AS EVERY FAN IN THE ARENA COMES TO THEIR FEET. J.R.: "What an elimination chamber that was, but are you ready for this"? Lawler: "I'm holding onto my seat, J.R., just like you would tell me to do"! VINCE McMAHON IS HANDED A MICROPHONE. Vince McMahon: "Alright, we're gonna get down to business right now! Wakeman, I know you're back there and you're getting ready to come out, but it's not gonna be what you think it is. Look above...... (Vince points to the rafters) We already have a steel cage and the elimination chamber hanging up there. How the hell could we put the Hell in a Cell up there, too?! That was your genius idea to have that match! So, unfortunately, there will be no Hell in a Cell match between you and I tonight! But I tell you what there is gonna be. Since I still own this company, I still call the shots around here. Now, I know you recently signed a new contract and one of the provisions was that I could not fire you, but I am still your boss, and therefore, I can make you do whatever the hell I want. So let me introduce you to your new opponent tonight..... the ECW World Champion..... the Manbear...... Sylvester Terkay"! "MISERIA CANTARE" HITS AGAIN AND SYLVESTER TERKAY COMES OUT OF THE ECW ENTRANCE ALONG WITH ELIJAH BURKE. J.R.: "Well we've got a lot of upset folks here in Milwaukee because this is not the match they paid to see"! Lawler: "Vince McMahon makes a good point though, J.R., he still owns the TWF"! TERKAY GETS INTO THE RING AND STARTS GETTING LOOSE. Vince McMahon: "Take a look, Wakeman.... are you ready for this"?! JUST THEN, MELINA's MUSIC HITS AND SHE COMES OUT WITH A MICROPHONE IN HAND. J.R.: "Well here comes Melina, but I have no idea why". Melina: "Vince, with all due respect, I don't think you know what you're doing here. I mean, Travis is a much different person than you remember, he doesn't even talk to me that much anymore. I don't know what's gonna happen between he and I in the future, but what I do know is that anyone who messes with him, is going to pay the price". Vince McMahon: "Melina, with all due respect, why don't you take your pretty little ass, and go........ Lawler: "Look out Vince"! JUST THEN, WAKEMAN COMES FROM OUT OF THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING. HE IS WEARING ALL BLACK AND HE HAS A TIRE IRON WITH HIM AND HE HITS BURKE IN THE BACK OF THE RIGHT LEG WITH IT BEFORE USING IT TO HIM TERKAY IN THE MIDSECTION. VINCE LOOKS TERRIFIED AS WAKEMAN STALKS HIM. VINCE FALLS TO HIS BACK AND IS BEGGING FOR MERCY. WAKEMAN, WITH A DERANGED LOOK IN HIS EYES, DROPS THE TIRE IRON, AND SLOWLY LEAVES THE RING. J.R.: "Wow, that was.... that was just scary". Lawler: "He could've taken Vince out for good.... what the hell is wrong with this guy"?! J.R.: "I don't know if I'd go to the extreme of assaulting someone with a tire iron, but Travis Wakeman had everything he worked for in his TWF career stolen from him by Vince McMahon..... he has a lot of anger burning inside". Lawler: "Yeah, well get him to a counselor". J.R.: "I can only think that Vince McMahon has got to be thanking his lucky stars right now". BACKSTAGE......... IN THE BACK, CODY RHODES IS TALKING WITH THE WOMAN WHO WAS WITH WILLIAM REGAL, PAUL BURCHILL AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV WHEN THEY ATTACKED JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SHAWN MICHAELS EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. Cody Rhodes: "So, what's your name"? Woman: "I'm Katie Lea... Katie Lea Burchill". Cody Rhodes: "Oh, you must be Paul Burchill's sister, I've heard about you before". Katie Lea: "Oh, have you"? JUST THEN, RHODES IS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY HARRY SMITH! PAUL BURCHILL COMES FROM AROUND A CORNER. Paul Burchill: "Ah, you beat me to it. (Burchill and Smith shake hands) I knew you'd see the light young fellow". WILLIAM REGAL AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV COME UP. REGAL EXTENDS HIS HAND AND HARRY SMITH SHAKES IT. William Regal: "Welcome, Harry. For you are now a part of the United Nations". THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, WHERE SYLVESTER TERKAY AND ELIJAH BURKE ARE WALKING, LICKING THEIR WOUNDS. JUST THEN, JOE COREY COMES UP. Joe Corey: "What the hell was that? What the hell was that"?! Elijah Burke: "Uh..... what, man"? Corey: "So you guys can put off winning tag team gold and you can put off helping me in the chamber to go do some dirty work for Vince McMahon?! Are you forgetting what ECW is all about?! We play by our rules.... not anyone else's"! Burke: "Got it". Corey: "Don't let it happen again"! COREY STARES BOTH MEN IN THE FACE BEFORE WALKING AWAY. FANS IN THE ARENA LOUDLY BOO WHEN CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT AND THROWS THE CAPE OFF HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE POSING FOR THE CROWD AS PYRO SPEWS OFF BEHIND HIM. J.R.: "For nearly one full year, this man was the TWF World champion and except for one match at WrestleMania, he's been relatively unbeatable". Lawler: "And that one match is what he's out here to avenge tonight, J.R., but seriously, are we at Foul Play or the Mister Olympia competition"?! J.R.: "Very clever, King, and looking at the Masterpiece, his physique is definitely impressive, but it's not gonna do much for him tonight in this ladder match". "MISTERRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT TO HIS MUSIC AND ONE OF THE BIGGER CHEERS OF THE NIGHT. HE HAS THE TWF WORLD TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST. Lawler: "Ugh, here comes this loud mouth". J.R.: "Yeah, you and him have something in common. At WrestleMania, Mr. Kennedy was able to cash in on winning the Royal Rumble to become TWF champion, but he'll have to duplicate that feat by climbing a ladder and grabbing that title belt tonight". KENNEDY WALKS UNDERNEATH THE LADDER THAT IS IN THE AISLE BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING AND HANDING REFEREE SCOTT MARTIN THE BELT. MARTIN ATTACHES IT TO A CABLE WHICH IS RAISED ABOVE THE RING. KENNEDY THEN ASKS LILIAN GARCIA FOR HER MICROPHONE. Ken Kennedy: "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, I weigh in at an incredible two hundred and forty five pounds! I hail from Green Bay, Wisconsinnnnnnnnnn! Misterrrrrrrr Kennedyyyyyyyyy"! KENNEDY GOES OVER TO THE TURNBUCKLE, WHERE HE USUALLY REPEATS HIS LAST NAME, WHEN HE IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY MASTERS. MARTIN HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RING THE BELL TO START THE MATCH. TWF World Title Ladder Match Challenger: Chris Masters vs. Ken Kennedy Masters was all over Kennedy after the sneak attack. Masters delivered a big suplex before leaving the ring after the ladder. But right when Masters grabbed it, Kennedy was right on him. After connecting with 2 hard rights, Kennedy picked up the ladder and swung it around, clipping Masters in the head. Kennedy slid the ladder under the bottom rope and went into the ring, setting the ladder up. Masters was up to one knee as Kennedy stood the ladder up, setting it in place. He began to climb it and he was about halfway up when Masters came into the ring with a double axe handle to the back. After yanking Kennedy off the ladder, he whipped him right into it. Kennedy's colission with the ladder knocked it against the ring ropes. Masters then pulled Kennedy up and hip tossed him right on the ladder! Kennedy let out a yell as Masters pulled him off the ladder and delivered a big DDT. Masters was now in complete control of the match but after whipping Kennedy to the ropes, he missed with his Polish Hammer and Kennedy found the mark with a jump kick to the face. After some hard right hands, Kennedy shot Masters to the ropes and lifted him up with a backbody drop. Masters landed right on the ladder and was in a lot of pain. Kennedy pulled the ladder out and set it up again, but Masters started to get up. Seeing this, Kennedy jumped off the ladder out him but this time Masters connected with the Polish Hammer, busting Kennedy's nose open. Masters made his first climb up the ladder as Kennedy slowly started to move around. Masters was at the top of the ladder, reaching for the title when Kennedy came up the ladder, grabbing Masters from behind and he brought him off with a backdrop suplex that got the crowd jumping. Both men were down and they were both slow to get up. When they did, they began trading punches. Masters finally got in a big knee lift and he picked Kennedy up in a military press. But Kennedy slipped off and landed on his feet, delivering a picture perfect DDT. The crowd saw the match going to Kennedy as he began to climb the ladder. But Masters would not stay down. He started climbing the ladder on the other side and he and the champion got to the top, exchanging shots. Kennedy got in a rake to the eyes and tried to get Masters in position for the "Mic Check". But Masters caught Kennedy with an elbow to the side of the head that nearly knocked him off the ladder. Kennedy spun around and was doing his best to hang on when Masters grabbed him from behind in the "Masterlock". He showed a tremendous feat of strength by holding Kennedy in the hold, in mid air for a solid 5 seconds before just dropping him to the mat. Masters then slowly reached up and unhooked the title belt to win the match. Match Time: 11:14 Lawler: "He's done it! Masters is the champion again"! J.R.: "I honestly can't believe what Masters just did! He may be the most powerful man in the history of the TWF, and he's also a two-time World champion"! MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYED AND THE CROWD BOOED AS HE STOOD ATOP THE LADDER, RAISING THE TITLE UP. Lawler: "He loaned the title to Kennedy, but now it's back where it belongs"! J.R.: "We hope you've enjoyed Foul Play! My God what a night"!
