Attendance: 92,167
AFTER A MOMENTARY PAUSE, A LEGAL DISCLAIMER POPS UP CONTAINING THE USUAL COPYRIGHT INFORMATION. THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT LOGO THEN FLASHES ACROSS THE SCREEN BEFORE ANOTHER SHORT PAUSE.
A BUBBLING LIQUID, RED IN COLOR, IS SHOWN, OBVIOUSLY STEAMING HOT. A LARGE WOODEN SPOON BEGINS TO STIR THE MATTER, WHICH IS INSIDE A HUGE BLACK POT.
Audio Voiceover: "How hot is too hot?
VIDEO CLIPS OF TWF ACTION BEGIN TO ROLL, STARTING WITH TITO ORTIZ's ARRIVAL IN THE TWF AFTER COSTING JOHN CENA HIS MATCH WITH MONEY MIKE.
"When does something get too hot to handle"?
JOE COREY's RECENT ATTACK ON THE UNDERTAKER IS SHOWN, FOLLOWED BY THE LOOK IN THE UNDERTAKER's EYES.
"As the old saying goes..... if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".
CLIPS OF EDGE's WORDS TOWARDS CHAOS WOLF ARE SHOWN, ACCUSING HIM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WIN A MATCH WITHOUT WEAPONS, BUT THEN USING BOTH ALDO CORLEONE AND SAMAIEL TO BEAT WOLF DOWN. FROM THERE, THE IMAGES OF THE 4 MEN IN THE FATAL FOUR WAY FOR THE TWF WORLD TITLE ARE SHOWN, SIDE BY SIDE.
"Who can stand the heat...... and what becomes of those who can't"?
THE IMAGES OF MONEY MIKE, MR. KENNEDY, ROB VAN DAM AND CHRIS MASTERS ALL SINK BELOW THE BURNING, LAVA-LIKE FLUID AS A SINISTER LAUGH IS HEARD. A PAIR OF GLOWING EYES ARE ALL THAT CAN BE SEEN HOVERING OVER THE BLACK POT AS THE SHOT CUTS OUT.
"And now, TWF Entertainment presents................
THE SHOT OPENS UP INSIDE AN INCREDIBLY LOUD WEMBLEY STADIUM, WHICH IS SHOWN FROM AN AERIAL VIEW, PROBABLY FROM A BLIMP.
Jim Ross: "92,167 TWF fans! That is what we have here in Wembley Stadium for one of the largest TWF events I can ever remember, King"!
Jerry Lawler: "I can't believe this! We knew they were gonna be raring to go here in London, but wow"!
J.R.: "Of course, we are not alone tonight, our PrimeTime colleagues are sitting at the table next to us..... what do you guys make of this"?!
THE SHOT GOES OVER TO THE PRIMETIME BROADCAST TABLE, WHERE MICHAEL COLE AND HONKY TONK MAN ARE SEATED.
Michael Cole: "There is no doubt this is one of the most amazing scenes I have ever been a part of, and with the show that is on tap, the people here in Wembley and the fans watching at home are not gonna be disappointed".
Honky Tonk Man: "Five titles will be on the line tonight and we have the collision between John Cena and Tito Ortiz as well"!
Lawler: "Don't forget about Travis Wakeman taking on Muhammad Hassan. You think these people here in the UK want to see Hassan get his"?!
J.R.: "I'd be surprised if they don't, but right now, the lovely Lilian Garcia is in the ring, ready to perform the National Anthem"!
Lilian Garcia: "Oooooh say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly.........
JUST THEN, LILIAN IS CUT OFF BY THE SOUND OF WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC, AND HE STEPS OUT TO AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CHEER.
J.R.: "What the hell"?
William Regal: "Lilian, you disgusting tart, in case you haven't noticed, you are not in America and we don't recognize that silly anthem here. I demand the playing of our national anthem..... God Save the Queen"!
THE CROWD STANDS AND APPLAUDS AS "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" BEGINS TO PLAY AS REGAL HEADS TO THE RING. JUST AS THE SONG CLOSES, FINLAY HITS THE RING AND HE IS ALL OVER REGAL.
Cole: "Oh look out, there's Finlay"!
HTM: "And here comes the rest of the U.N."!
THE FANS ARE ACTUALLY BOOING FINLAY AND THEY CHEER AS PAUL BURCHILL, HARRY SMITH AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV ENTER THE RING AND JUMP HIM. THE 4 ON 1 ADVANTAGE HAS FINLAY IN A LOT OF TROUBLE, BUT SHAWN MICHAELS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL RUN OUT TO TRY TO EVEN THE ODDS. ROCKWELL AND MICHAELS ENTER THE RING AND HIT EVERYTHING THAT MOVES. MICHAELS CATCHES HARRY SMITH WITH THE SUPERKICK JUST AS ROCKWELL GOES TO CLOTHESLINE REGAL OVER THE TOP ROPE. BUT HE IS UNABLE TO TAKE HIM OVER AND BURCHILL HITS ROCKWELL FROM BEHIND. REGAL AND BURCHILL BEGIN TO PUMMEL ROCKWELL BUT MICHAELS COMES OVER TO GIVE HIM A HAND. AFTER KNOCKING BOTH REGAL AND BURCHILL DOWN WITH RIGHT HANDS, HE GOES TO THE TOP ROPE AND FLIES OFF, BUT HE IS TAKEN RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR BY KOZLOV WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE CHEST. KOZLOV HAD JUST RECOVERED FROM BEING HIT IN THE HEAD WITH FINLAY's SHILLELAGH. MICHAELS IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE MAT IN PLENTY OF PAIN AS THE U.N.'s MUSIC HITS AND THE QUARTET LEAVES THE RING, HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK.
Cole: "Well we didn't expect the show to get started like that..... wow"!
HTM: "Shawn Michaels appears to be in a bad way and I wish I could say I felt for him, but these two need to quit trying to be heroes and focus on trying to beat the U.N. later tonight"!
Cole: "That's right, folks, don't forget that Rockwell and Michaels are scheduled to defend the TWF tag team titles later tonight against Paul Burchill and Harry Smith and this can't be the way they wanted to start the night here at MeltDown".
BACKSTAGE AREA........ THE FANS INSIDE WEMBLEY STADIUM GO WILD WHEN TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN IN THE BACK WITH NONE OTHER THAN DAVID BECKHAM AND HIS WIFE, VICTORIA, AKA POSH SPICE. Todd Grisham: "Here with me at this time are the special guests of the TWF tonight, David Beckham and his lovely wife Victoria and it goes without saying that this is the most recognizable couple in this country and one of the most in the entire world. David, any thoughts on MeltDown tonight"? BEFORE BECKHAM CAN SAY A WORD, KEN KENNEDY WALKS UP. Ken Kennedy: "I've got a better question, Todd. I'd like to ask Mister two hundred and fifty million dollar man here what he thinks about tonight's fatal four way. I mean, who do you think wins that one, soccer player"? David Beckham: "Honestly, no offense to you, but Victoria and I are both very big Rob Van Dam fans". KENNEDY GETS A CHUCKLE. Kennedy: "Is that right? That figures, an overpaid athlete being a fan of an overpaid wrestler. Look man, I'm not gonna kiss your ass like everyone else does because of your so-called golden foot, but I will tell ya this. At the end of that match, the only name you will here is Misterrrrrrrr Kennedyyyyyyyyy! KENNEDY WALKS OUT OF THE SHOT BUT COMES RIGHT BACK, GETTING RIGHT UP IN VICTORIA's FACE. Kennedyyyyyyyyyyyyy"! AFTER KENNEDY WALKS AWAY, DAVID BECKHAM LAUGHS. David Beckham: "I'd like to show him a golden foot". "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE COMES ON AND SEAN O'HAIRE STEPS OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS FROM THE BACK AS HE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE VERY LONG AISLE TO THE RING. Lawler: "David Beckham and Posh Spice are here! We've really rolled out the red carpet tonight, J.R."! J.R.: "Yeah, Mr. Kennedy really showed them both a lot of respect, he better go get ready for that fatal four way match later tonight". Lawler: "Well this will be a triple threat match where the winner will earn a shot at the King of Cable title which will be on the line later tonight and you gotta like this guy's chances"! J.R.: "Well believe it or not, I was given information that Sebastian Cain nearly didn't make the trip because of whatever is going on with his family but once again, Sean O'Haire talked him out of that in order to compete in this match". Lawler: "This is the biggest match of Cain's life, J.R., can't anyone see that O'Haire just wants to help him"?! "REQUIEM" BY TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA BEGINS TO PLAY AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT, SEEMING A LITTLE WITHDRAWN. J.R.: "It's very hard for me to see it that way, but one thing's for sure, the first man to pick up a decision here will be the number one contender for the King of Cable title". Lawler: "And what if that is Cain? Don't you think he'll be happy he made the trip"? A LARGE, FIRE BREATING DRAGON APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET, ROARING WITH APPRECIATION FOR DYLAN JANSENS, WHO COMES OUT FROM THE BACK AS "OUT OF MY WAY" BY SEETHER PLAYS. J.R.: "Please don't try to manipulate me the way O'Haire does, King, that's not gonna work and I'm not insulting Sebastian Cain by saying that, he's a great young superstar with a huge upside, I just hope his head is where it needs to be". Lawler: "Well I don't think he wants or needs your well wishes, J.R., he's out here to win". J.R.: "Here comes Dylan Jansens, who has certainly had his fair share of issues with both of these men, but a win here would quickly propel him up the ladder on Rampage and it's pretty easy for me to see who this monstrous crowd is behind". Triple Threat/#1 Contender for King of Cable Title Sean O'Haire vs. Dylan Jansens vs. Sebastian Cain As expected, O'Haire and Cain teamed up against Jansens after the bell sounded. Jansens fought with his usual fiery spirit, trying to fend off both men. He kicked O'Haire in the gut before catching Cain with a back elbow right across the face. He then hit Cain with an overhand right that knocked him to the mat but turned around right into a roundhouse kick from O'Haire. Cain got up and the two men put the boots to Jansens, stomping on him as the crowd showered them with boos. Jansens was pulled to his feet and whipped to the corner before Cain and O'Haire got on either side of him, smashing his chest with alternating knifedge chops. Cain then scored with a snap suplex before going for the cover, but O'Haire tapped him on the back and told Cain he wanted to wear him down some more. O'Haire whipped Jansens to the ropes but Jansens ducked a clothesline and drilled Cain with a flying forearm. O'Haire ran at Jansens when he got up, but Jansens countered with a backbody drop that sent O'Haire over the top rope and to the floor. This brought the crowd to life and Jansens decided to go after Cain with the odds one on one. After a spin kick to the midsection, Jansens pulled Cain in and went to the middle turnbuckle, hitting a perfect tornado DDT. He made the first cover of the match, but Cain kicked out at 2. Jansens kept the pressure on with several sharp kicks across the body before delivering a snap mare and kicking him hard across the back and shoulders. Jansens ran the ropes but Cain popped up, unphased, and caught Jansens with a textbook powerslam. He then picked Jansens up and quickly got him up on his shoulders, delivering the "Burning Hammer" as the crowd watched on in disbelief. But just as Cain was making the cover, O'Haire had gotten to the apron and he went to the top rope, flying off with the Sean-Ton Bomb, landed very hard across the back of Cain. Cain rolled off Jansens, holding his back in pain as O'Haire rolled atop Jansens and got the 1.........2..........3. Match Time: 4:58 J.R.: "I'll be damned! Sean O'Haire just stole this thing"! Lawler: "Stole it? He won the match"! "COME ON" PLAYED AGAIN AND O'HAIRE LEFT THE RING, WALKING UP THE AISLE WITH A BIG GRIN ACROSS HIS FACE AS CAIN LOOKED ON WITH A SURPRISED, YET NOTICEABLY ANGRY LOOK ETCHED ACROSS HIS FACE. J.R.: "No, he let Sebastian Cain win it for him and now he's the number one contender for the King of Cable title! I know Sebastian Cain is young and impressionable, but this was low"! Lawler: "What'd you want him to do, let him win the match"?! J.R.: "After everything O'Haire has asked Cain to do lately......... yeah, I don't think it would've been a hell of a lot to ask! I just don't like the way O'Haire goes about his business and I'm sure I'm not alone in that! I just hope Cain has learned a lesson here"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TODD GRISHAM INSIDE THE DRESSING ROOM OF MATT CRUZ. ALONG WITH CRUZ IS NONE OTHER THAN MANDO GUERRERO. Todd Grisham: "Fans, up next here at TWF MeltDown, Matt Cruz will take on Carlito and Matt, I gotta ask ya, where is your head going into this match? Just a few weeks ago, you were talking about leaving the sport of professional wrestling behind". Matt Cruz: "You notice I have Mando Guerrero here with me tonight...... well it was Mando who revived my spirit, it was the words that came out of his mouth that told me and reminded me that this is what I was born to do. Mando reminded me of one thing..... one very important thing........ familia. Mando and the rest of the Guerrero's..... they're my familia. I realized that I'm not just doing this for myself..... I'm doing this for them too. So to answer your question, my head will be right where it's supposed to be......... where it was meant be". "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO CARLITO's MUSIC. CARLITO COMES OUT WITH HIS TRADEMARK APPLE IN HAND AS THE CROWD OF OVER 92,000 GREETS HIM WITH BOOS. J.R.: "I'm on board with Matt Cruz, King, he really seems to have that passion and that fire back and I don't like Carlito's chances if that's the case". Lawler: "Well let's not count out Carlito, but I will say that Mando Guerrero deserves a lot of credit here". "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE COMES ON AND MATT CRUZ COMES OUT ALONG WITH MANDO GUERRERO TO A VERY GOOD CHEER. J.R.: "Well these two have met once on Pay-Per-View before, back at TWF Doomsday in October 2005 and if Carlito wants to win tonight, he'll have to hope he has better fortunes than he did on that night, but look who Cruz has got with him"! Lawler: "Mando Guerrero is coming out here with Cruz who we all thought was done wrestling not all that long ago". J.R.: "Well I for one am glad he didn't go that route and I look for a rebirth of sorts for Matt Cruz tonight". Carlito vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz w/ Mando Guerrero After the bell sounded to start the match, Cruz and Carlito locked up in a collar and elbow tie. Carlito did his best to avoid being taken to the mat, but Cruz was able to work him to the mat with a nice Greco Roman style throw. Cruz then got on top of Carlito with a reverse chin lock before pulling back both of his arms into somewhat of a surfboard. Carlito would not give in and Cruz let up on the hold, allowing Carlito to get to his feet. With a head of steam, Carlito ran at Cruz but ran right into a deep arm drag. Cruz then stood up, holding Carlito's right wrist at a contorted angle. Carlito was able to get to his feet, trying to get free, but Cruz grabbed him for a belly to belly. But Carlito escaped by raking the eyes and face of Cruz and then dropping him with a left cross. Carlito ran the ropes and hit a basement dropkick on Cruz, going into the cover but Cruz was up at 2. Carlito had turned the tide in the match and he stayed on Cruz, looking to wear him down and fight him, rather than wrestle him. Cruz had absorbed several punches and kicks in the corner before Carlito backed up and went for a body splash, but he missed everything. Cruz was then able to hit the belly to belly. Carlito wisely rolled out of the ring to prevent Cruz from following up but when Carlito got to his feet, he shoved Mando Guerrero, knocking him over! Cruz was incensed but while referee Scott Martin's attention was on what was going on outside the ring, a man wearing a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans ran through the crowd and got into the ring, hitting Cruz in the back of the head with a clothesline, something he never saw coming. The man quickly got out of the ring as Cruz got up, holding the back of his head. Carlito then got into the ring and came from behind, drilling Cruz with the Backstabber. He then rolled Cruz over to get the 3 count! Match Time: 7:38 Lawler: "What the heck just happened"?! J.R.: "Somebody has come out here and I don't know whether it's a fan or what the...... wait a minute, I know who that is! That's Carlito's younger brother Primo"! Lawler: "Wow, did Carlito have a plan or what"?! CARLITO LEFT WITH HIS BROTHER AS MANDO GUERRERO ARGUED WITH MARTIN IN THE RING OVER WHAT JUST HAPPENED WHILE CRUZ LOOKED ON. J.R.: "This was a serious screwjob, that's all there is to it"! Lawler: "Well Matt Cruz was sure right about one thing....... this match was all about familia"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW MARK HENRY EMERGE FROM HIS DRESSING ROOM AND HE HEADS DOWN A LONG CORRIDOR WHERE HE IS GREETED BY A SLEW OF FORMER TWF SUPERSTARS. KAMALA, GOLDUST, HELL's ANGEL, SPAWN, PAPA SHANGO AND ELECTRIC COMA ARE ALL STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM. Mark Henry: "What the hell is this"? Goldust: "We heard that you were in the Monster's Ball match tonight, Marky, and we just had to ask...... what do you have that all of us don't"? GOLDUST STARTS TO UNZIP HIS OUTFIT AS THE REST OF THE GROUP BEGINS TO LAUGH. SHANGO IS HOLDING SOME VOODOO BONES AND KAMALA IS SLAPPING HIS BELLY AND MAKING SOME ODD NOISES. HENRY IS CLEARLY FREAKED OUT AS THE GROUP GETS OUT OF HIS WAY AND SITTING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY IS THE BOOGEYMAN, WHO HAS A HUGE CLOCK AROUND HIS NECK. HE IS LAUGHING IN A VERY WIERD MANNER. Boogeyman: "London bridge is falling down..... falling down........ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"! HENRY JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AND WALKS ON BYE, HEADING FOR THE RING. Mark Henry (shouting): "Ya'll about to find out that I'm the King of the Jungle"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY BOOS, BEATING HIS CHEST AND YELLING IN HIS SAMOAN TONGUE AS HE HEADS TO THE RING. Cole: "Have you ever heard of a Monster's Ball match, partner"? HTM: "Can't say that I have, but if having one brings around guys like the ones we just saw, let's hope it's a rarity". Cole: "What do you have against guys like The Boogeyman and Goldust"? HTM: "They have an IQ even lower than yours..... combined". "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA HITS AND MARK HENRY STEPS OUT TO MORE BOOS FROM THE CROWD. Cole: "Here's the guy who was unlucky enough to run into that group of strange characters, but it didn't seem to phase him much". HTM: "Mark Henry is a focused man tonight, Michael, ready to prove he's the biggest, baddest and scariest superstar in the TWF"! "LEFT BEHIND" BY SLIPKNOT COMES ON AND NAILS COMES DOWN THE AISLE, CARRYING A FIRE POKER! Cole: "Well here comes the hockey masked freak and if you're wondering why he's got that fire poker with him, it's one hundred percent legal in this match! No holds barred, no disqualifications and you gotta admit, partner, that fits right in with what Nails usually likes to do"! HTM: "Henry and Umaga better be on their toes right now, Nails might go after them before the match even starts"! KEVIN THORN's MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT HOLDING THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE IN ONE HAND AND HIS WALKING STICK IN THE OTHER. THE HANDLE OF THE STICK IS THAT OF A SKULL. HE IS WITH ARIEL AND BOTH MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE RING. Cole: "For over one year now, this man has been the TWF Intercontinental champion, a reign that may be the most impressive we have ever seen"! HTM: "Kevin Thorn has transformed himself into one of the biggest superstars on PrimeTime, but this is clearly his biggest challenge! He doesn't even have to be involved in the decision to lose the belt"! Cole: "Well, we are only about a month away from Halloween, which one of these guys do you think would sell the most Halloween costumes"? Monster's Ball/TWF Intercontinental Title Match Umaga vs. Nails vs. Mark Henry vs. (c) Kevin Thorn w/ Ariel The bell sounds to start the match and Nails gets into the ring with the fire poker, threatening all 3 men, who stand several feet back. Ariel gets up on the apron which momentarily distracts Nails, and Umaga comes from behind with a shot to the back of the head. Henry tries to move in to help the big Samoan, but Thorn catches him with a kick to the head. Henry takes a swing but misses and Thorn hits him with a thrust to the throat. Meanwhile, Nails is able to fight out of a nerve hold from Umaga and once on his feet, he rocks Umaga with 3 big overhand rights. He then goes for a clothesline but Umaga ducks and catches him with a superkick. Nails rolls out of the ring while Umaga and Henry double team the current IC champ. After whipping Thorn into the corner, Umaga tries to sling Henry into him but Thorn gets out of the way. He then catches Umaga with a big clothesline only to see Nails standing in front of him with a barbed wire 2x4! After smacking Thorn with it, Nails holds the weapon up as the crowd loudly pops. He then pulls out a small black pouch and dumps it on the mat. Hundreds of thumbtacks cover the canvas! Nails then picks Thorn up, and he is cut right over his left eye. But before he can do anything, Umaga gets up and hits Nails with a shot to the side of the head. Thorn and Umaga start to double team Nails, but Henry gets up and grabs the 2x4. He is about to hit Thorn with it when Ariel comes into the ring and bravely jumps onto the shoulders of the World's Strongest Man, doing her best to choke him. But Henry runs backwards into the corner, squashing the lovely vampiress. Henry stands over Ariel when Thorn comes over and hits him from behind, knocking the 2x4 out of his hands. Henry and Thorn begin trading shots as Umaga picks Nails up and is ready for the Samoan Spike, but Nails blocks it with both hands. Nails then kicks Umaga right in the crotch and grabs him around the head, bulldogging him right into the island of thumb tacks! The crowd can't believe it as Umaga rolls over, tacks protruding from all over his body. Some are even in his face and head. Nails then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pair of brass knucks, smashing Thorn with them and knocking him stiff. But before he can do any more damage, Henry breaks the 2x4 over the head of Nails. Henry then runs the ropes and crushes Nails with a huge elbow drop. With the other 3 men all down and out, Henry does the unthinkable, going to the outside of the ring and climbing the turnbuckle, all the way to the top. Looking down at the unconcious Thorn, Henry flies off, landing right on him with a ring shaking big splash. Henry hooks Thorn's outside leg and referee Mike Enos plops down to issue the 1...........2...........3! Match Time: 4:56 Cole: "Oh my God! He just engulfed Kevin Thorn"! HTM: "And we have a new champion, Michael..... the world's strongest man"! "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BEGAN TO PLAY, BUT IT QUICKLY CUT OFF WHEN GANGREL AND DRUSUS CAME DOWN THE AISLE. ARIEL SEEMED TO BE SHOUTING OUT INSTRUCTIONS, AND HENRY WAS ALMOST INVITING THEM INTO THE RING. Cole: "What is this?! The rest of the Requiem has come out here and Mark Henry might be in trouble"! HTM: "Gangrel and Drusus look ready to go"! INSTEAD, GANGREL AND DRUSUS PULL THORN UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THEY HELP HIM OUT OF THE RING. Cole: "This match was kept pretty short, but the carnage is evident and we have crowned a brand new Intercontinental champ"! HTM: "But Mark Henry better find some backup and quick...... the Requiem seems to have their sights set on him"! BACKSTAGE..... ECW DRESSING ROOM....... The shot moves to the ECW locker room where "The Show" Joe Corey is standing in front of the rest of the faction.
Joe Corey: "Well, I take it you all remember each other. Morrison… Kato, these men sitting next to you are the Rampage members of ECW. If it is not obvious enough, they all have something that you don't… TWF gold. All three of these men are champions on Rampage. You see, when this ECW thing started, these men were the ones who bought in to the cause right off the bat. And unlike you two, they are still proving to the world just what they have to offer.
That is why I brought you all here tonight. Two years ago, the ECW revolution began. In that time, we have had a lot of success, and we have also had some setbacks....... that all ends tonight. We are going to wipe the slate clean tonight, and start over anew. JJ, you are going to go out to that ring tonight and show that crowd why you are the longest reigning King of Cable in this company's history. There is a reason that I gave you that title you are carrying around, and it is time for everyone to understand why.
As for me, I am going to go out to that ring and start this revolution all over again. We are going to need a jumping off point, and that is going to start and end with The Undertaker. When we started this, the meaning was to take what was ours, and not allow anyone to hold us down. We are not going to let the so-called legends of this business remain on top just because of their names. It is time for the old guard to change, and we are going to be the ones to push them off the ledge. This is the start of a new day! Tonight is the start of a new ECW! Tonight I do what so many have tried and failed to do! Tonight, I end The Undertaker…forever". BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC HITS AND JORDAN ROCKWELL STEPS OUT ALONG WITH SHAWN MICHAELS AND THE TWO ARE BOOED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS, PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME EVER FOR ROCKWELL. MICHAELS SEEMS TO BE IN PAIN AS HE HOLDS THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS RIBS. Cole: "Here come the tag team champs and here's something they're not used to..... boos"! HTM: "These are the loudest boos we've heard tonight, Michael, and it's for two of the most popular superstars in TWF history! But do you see what I see..... Michaels is favoring that left side"! Cole: "This night started with an attack by the United Nations on the tag team champions and Michaels caught one of those nasty headbutts from the Moscow Mauler, Vladimir Kozlov"! THE U.N.'s THEME COMES ON AND HARRY SMITH AND PAUL BURCHILL STEP OUT WITH THE LOVELY KATIE LEA TO AN ERUPTION OF CHEERS. HTM: "Listen to this! This is a true homefield advantage here"! Cole: "Well I can only imagine the celebration that will ensue should the U.N. win this match, but first, they have to defeat a team that has defeated all challengers, holding the titles for over a year, a TWF record". HTM: "And let's not forget about that lovely little sexpot they have with them, Katie Lea". Cole: "I have been told that the rest of the U.N. has been barred from ringside for this match. Harry Smith is ready to start things off here with the Franchise, and Mickey Henson is the referee". TWF Tag Team Title Match Challengers: The United Nations- Harry Smith and Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea vs. Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels Shawn Michaels, who has had battles all over the world with Davey Boy Smith, locked up with his son, Harry, to start the match. Smith grabbed Michaels in a standing side headlock and was able to cinch it in. When Michaels pushed him to the ropes looking for a break, Smith yanked at his hair to slow him down. Smith released his hold and whipped Michaels to the ropes. But HBK ducked a clothesline and scored with a nice dropkick. Fired up, Michaels asked for Smith to get up, hitting him with 3 overhand rights when he did. Michaels then turned and drilled Burchill with a shot he never saw coming. Smith missed with another clothesline and Michaels picked him up for an inverted atomic drop. Rockwell tagged into the match and ran Smith over with a clothesline. The fans were clearly worried and the champs were rolling. After a big elbow drop found the mark, Rockwell pulled Smith up and whipped him to the ropes where he drove a big knee to the midsection. After a nice swinging neckbreaker, Rockwell made the cover, but Burchill was in to stop the count. Rockwell kept moving, shooting Smith to the ropes again for a big backbody drop. Michaels tagged in and went to the top rope, flying off with his textbook elbow. He popped up and was calling on the fans, but all he got was a shower of boos. Burchill again came into the ring but Michaels blocked a right hand and hit him with one of his own but Smith was up and he attacked Michaels with a shot to the back of the head. Burchill finally tagged into the match, 7 minutes in, and now the challengers had Michaels in their corner. Burchill and Smith did a terrific job of cutting the ring off, making fresh tags in and out. After tagging into the match for a third time, Burchill made it an extended stay, working on those injured ribs of HBK. After a big backbreaker across the knee, Burchill stomped on those ribs several times before grabbing the right arm of Michaels, twisting and contorting it in multiple positions. After a knee to the upper back, the bruising Burchill pulled Michaels up and delivered a snap suplex. Burchill slapped the hand of Smith and much like the Hart Foundation used to do, Burchill used the top rope to slingshot Smith into the ring and he clotheslined Michaels. A cover netted the U.N. a 2 count, but the crowd was turning it up. After knocking Rockwell off the apron with a cheap shot, Smith got Michaels on his shoulder, looking for the Bulldog Powerslam. But Michaels was able to grab the top rope, to block it, holding on for dear life. Finally, Smith let go of him, but when he turned around, Michaels switched it into another gear, hitting Smith with a combo of knifedge chops and right hands. Smith threw another wild clothesline that missed everything and after running the ropes, Michaels hit a big flying forearm. He then slapped the hand of Rockwell and the fans littered the arena with boos as The Franchise came in, looking to end it. Rockwell struck Smith with right hand after right hand before using a drop toehold to take Smith into the STF he calls the Tranquilizer. Rockwell had Smith in a lot of trouble and Burchill came into the ring. But Michaels came in to counter him and Henson was distracted by the brawl. He did his best to get Burchill and Michaels out of the ring, but Katie Lea got up on the apron. Michaels went for the "Sweet Chin Music" to KO Burchill, but he hit his sister when Burchill ducked! Katie Lea fell hard to the floor and Michaels, showing plenty of concern, went to check on her. In the ring, Rockwell went to see what Michaels was doing and Smith got up and lowblowed him from behind. Burchill followed that up with a vicious DDT before rolling out of the ring and hitting Michaels from behind. Henson got down as Smith covered Rockwell, hooking the leg for the 1..........2........3! Match Time: 14:52 HTM: "They did it! We have new champions"! Cole: "This crowd is absolutely on fire! But it didn't come without some controversy"! FIREWORKS BOMBARD WEMBLEY STADIUM AND THE CROWD IS DEAFENING. BURCHILL AND SMITH HELP KATIE LEA UP THE RAMP AS THEY CARRY OFF THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES. THE REST OF THE U.N., WILLIAM REGAL AND VLADIMIR KOZLOV MEET THEM AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE TO CONGRATULATE THEM. IN THE RING, ROCKWELL SEEMS TO BE SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING MICHAELS. HTM: "What controversy? Since when does Shawn Michaels care about women"? Cole: "I'll tell ya the controversy! For one, the U.N. jumped Rockwell and Michaels to start this show and Michaels was competed with injured ribs! Then, you get the distraction for Katie Lea and you have this"! HTM: "Katie Lea sacrified herself! She may need dental work but what matters is we have new tag team champions"! Cole: "Well this is truly a moment here in the TWF for these people here in London..... one they'll not soon forget"! BACKSTAGE....... IN THE BACK, CAMERAS SHOW CANDICE MICHELLE CARRYING ON A CONVERSATION WITH D'LO BROWN WHEN GENEXT ENTERS THE SHOT ALONG WITH STACY KEIBLER. M.X. Ogden: "Candice, I know you've been running around here and telling anyone who will listen about how I did you wrong..... looks like you're reelin' in D'Lo now. So if it wasn't clear enough for you, I wanted to show you first hand why I kicked your ass to the curb...... baby........... OGDEN GRABS THE HAND OF STACY, WHO BEGINS TO SPIN AROUND, ONE OF CANDICE's FAVORITE MOVES. GENEXT AND STACY WALK OFF TOWARDS THE RING AND CANDICE THINKS ABOUT GOING AFTER HER, BUT D'LO PULLS HER BACK. D'Lo Brown: "No, it ain't worth it girl, the time will come for that". "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC COMES ON AND KELLY LEADS OUT AUSTIN PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR MADE. THEY ARE WELCOMED BY A VERY GOOD RESPONSE. J.R.: "Well we're jumping right back into the action here but can you believe the audacity of M.X. Ogden"? Lawler: "I don't know, J.R., I'd be happy with either Candice or Stacy, I don't know how I could pick between the two"! J.R.: "Well this match is not about which diva is the flavor of the month. Not long ago, Ogden and Jason Oliver formed a new alliance now known as GeNext, basically proclaiming themselves superior to all those who they feel are past their prime. These two men, Taylor Made and Austin Pyromania interjected themselves into the situation and I'm sure there are millions of people around this world rooting them on tonight"! "STRAIGHT TO VIDEO" BY MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE HITS AND GENEXT COMES OUT ALONG WITH STACY KEIBLER TO A SWARM OF BOOS. Lawler: "And here they come and boy do they look ready"! J.R.: "They're cocky, they're brash, they're arrogant, but like it or not, they usually back it up"! OGDEN AND OLIVER STAND ON EITHER SIDE OF STACY AS SHE GETS UP ON THE APRON AND PERFORMS HER SIGNATURE RING ENTRANCE, SOMETHING THE CROWD REALLY LIKES. Lawler: "Okay, I changed my mind, I'd pick Stacy too"! J.R.: "Calm down, King, we've got a match to call. This will be a tag team match, one fall to a finish and referee Jose Mendez will be in charge". Austin Pyromania and Taylor Made w/ Kelly vs. GeNext w/ Stacy Kiebler The bell sounded to start the match but before anything could happen, Ogden and Oliver were all over Pyromania and Taylor, overwhelming them. Mendez tried hard to pull the men apart and he nearly threw the match out. Something made him decide not to, but Taylor was thrown over the top rope and to the floor and Kelly ran over to check on him. Pyromania did his best to fight two on one, but after catching a flying calf kick from Ogden, Oliver pulled him up and pounded him in the corner with right hands and 4 or 5 kicks to the gut. He then pulled Pyro right into a stiff clothesline as Mendez ordered Ogden to the corner. Outside the ring, Taylor was doing his best to get to his feet when Ogden left his corner and ran over, pushing him hard into the ring steps. In the ring, Pyromania began to fight back, hitting Oliver with 3 hard right hands before catching him with a running kneelift. But when he hit the ropes, Ogden grabbed his foot and nearly tripped him up. Oliver then struck with a nasty superkick. From there, he tagged Ogden back into the match and placed Pyro across his knee as Ogden went to the top rope, flying off with a legdrop and coming down across the throat of Pyromania! Ogden got on for the cover and got the 3 count. Match Time: 2:39 J.R.: "And just like that, this one is over"! Lawler: "GeNext never let Pyro and Taylor get off the starting blocks"! AS "STRAIGHT TO VIDEO" PLAYED AGAIN, GENEXT AND STACY KEIBLER WALK BACK UP THE AISLE, CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY. J.R.: "Ogden and Oliver had a plan from the start and they put it into motion to win here at MeltDown". BACKSTAGE AREA....... IN THE BACK, CAMERAS CATCH TWF WORLD CHAMPION CHRIS MASTERS MAKING HIS WAY TOWARDS A DRESSING ROOM. HE KNOCKS, BUT JUST ENTERS BEFORE ANYONE CAN ANSWER. IT IS THE DRESSING ROOM OF EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA AND THEY ARE WITH NONE OTHER THAN CRISS ANGEL, ENJOYING A GOOD TIME. Monica: "Ahem..... can we help you"? Chris Masters: "I have one of the biggest matches of my career tonight..... I would appreciate if the two of you stayed out of it". Eddie Saint James: "Chris, Chris, Chris..... in case you didn't notice, we are entertaining another Criss tonight and I hate to break it to you...... but that's a little more important right now". Masters (shaking his head): "Freaks............. IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA........ Backstage, Edge paces and pulls at his hair. He sighs and sits down, head in his hands. A door opens and closes off camera, Edge looks up, and looks worried.
Edge: "It's about time! Did you miss the first flight? What the hell took you so long?!"
Samaiel steps into view. He grins and cracks his knuckles.
Samaiel: "I was preparing some things. You know, our plans"?
Edge stammers, sounding hesitant.
Edge: "Yeah, about that.. I'm not sure about it. I mean, I'm glad you did your job on PrimeTime.. believe me, Chaos Wolf couldn't be more distracted! I clearly see him not paying complete attention."
Samaiel: "That's what you paid me for. And about that.. Tonight is going to cost you double."
Edge: "Double? How are you going to change.. Wait, you know I know you're good for it. But, come on, Samaiel.. All I'm asking is for you to--"
Samaiel puts his hand on Edge's shoulder. Edge stops and looks at the camera.
Samaiel: "So... Edge, everything going as planned?"
Edge: "I don't know, man. It seems like a lot of work."
Samaiel sounds agitated.
Samaiel: "Listen to me closely, Edge. A plan is like a complex machine, okay? All the parts to it are like little cogs.. They all have to mesh. They all have to do their part. If they don't work well together, the machine fails.. Do you know what that means?"
Edge nods.
Edge: "Yeah.. the plan fails."
Samaiel: "That's right, the plan fails. We don't want the plan to fail. Chaos Wolf is the least of your problems now. Rumor is, he wants me to fight him in a Lights Out match after your match with him. Even bothering to answer my attack proves he is distracted."
Edge: "I just don't think your plan is going to work."
Samaiel slams his fist into a locker.
Samaiel: "My plan?! Don't start talking like that, Edge! This is our plan. Ours! If you want to do this and do it right, you have to mesh. Do you understand? Things will work out exactly like we talked about."
Edge puts his head in his hands again and sighs. He looks up again, composed.
Edge: "Alright then, I understand. Tell me what I have to do to make this work."
Samaiel: "Now you're listening to reason".
Samaiel chuckles and picks up a briefcase.
Samaiel: "Get the cash and put it in here. I'm going to get started". BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THE REALEST" BY YOUNG JEEZY COMES ON AND AXL IRVIN COMES OUT TO A VERY FAVORABLE POP FROM THE CROWD. J.R.: "The action continues here at MeltDown and we are ready for another big title match, King". Lawler: "Was that Criss Angel in the back"? J.R.: "I'm sorry, I don't even know who that is, but what I do know is we've already seen one long title reign come to an end tonight when Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels were defeated for the Tag Team titles, Axl Irvin's task tonight is to defeat the longest reigning King of Cable in TWF history". "MISERIA CANTARE" COMES ON AND A SET OF DOUBLE DOORS OPENS INSIDE THE STANDS. BOOS FOLLOW AS J.J. RAMPLIN COMES OUT WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Lawler: "Axl's gonna need all the luck he can get to do it though, it seems like J.J. Ramplin has beaten just about everyone on the roster"! J.R.: "It seems that way and it's probably not far off. We may have never seen a more impressive reign, for any title, than the one this guy is having". Lawler: "Well one thing is for sure, J.J. Ramplin has been listening to the words of Joe Corey, even if the rest of ECW isn't"! J.R.: "Joe Corey is set to face The Undertaker later tonight but first, we have this huge matchup for the King of Cable title"! TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger: Axl Irvin vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin The bell sounded to start the match and referee Chad Patton was set to call the action. Axl moved in slowly but Ramplin knocked him back with a kick to the gut followed by a quick left jab. Ramplin then hit the ropes but Axl drove a fist into his abdomen before going for a DDT. But Ramplin countered into a northern lights suplex that got a near fall early in the match. Both men got to their feet and began trading punches but Ramplin got a thumb to Axl's eye before drilling him with a european uppercut. After pulling Axl up into a vertical suplex, Axl positioned himself for his big spear. But when he went for it, Axl saw it coming and got out of the way before catching The Ram with a bicycle kick, a move we've never seen Axl use. From there, Axl went into an ultra-aggressive mode, kicking and stomping at the champion before clotheslining him over the top rope when he got to his feet. Outside the ring, Axl was still all over Ramplin with right hand after right hand, nearly knocking him into the crowd. But after throwing Ramplin toward the ring post, Axl charged in but smacked the steel post face first when Ramplin moved. Ramplin followed that up with the "Dead Weight" on the arena floor! Slowly, Axl got up and rolled into the ring, just beating Patton's 10 count, which Axl didn't manage to do. Match Time: 5:54 Lawler: "That's it! Axl Irvin has been counted out, J.R."! J.R.: "The sickening thud of that powerbomb echoed through Wembley Stadium and Axl Irvin may have a broken spine after that impact"! Lawler: "This was just a brawl and J.J. Ramplin is the survivor"! "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AGAIN AND RAMPLIN WALKED BACK UP THE ENTRY RAMP, THE KING OF CABLE TITLE DANGLING FROM HIS RIGHT HAND. BUT IT WAS THE CLEAR THE MATCH HAD TAKEN IT's TOLL ON HIM. CHAD PATTON HAD HELPED AXL IRVIN GET TO A SEATED POSITION, BUT HE WAS STILL SEEING STARS. J.R.: "Well let's just hope Axl is okay, I wouldn't mind seeing these two go at it again". BACKSTAGE........ IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS WITH TITO ORTIZ AND HIS ENTOURAGE. Lena Yada: "With me here is former UFC champion and mixed martial arts legend, Tito Ortiz. Tito, in just a matter of moments, you will clash with John Cena". Tito Ortiz: "That's right, I will. This is going to be my coming out party. Everyone in the MMA world already knows what I'm capable of, but apparently, not all of the wrestling world has taken notice.... until tonight! Cena, you better be ready, because all jokes and one-liners aside...... I'm just gonna kick your ass"! ORTIZ WALKS OFF AND HIS MEN FOLLOW. "BREAK STUFF" BY LIMP BIZKIT COMES ON AFTER A DIGITIZED VOICE CONTINUALLY REPEATS "WHO's IN THE HOUSE" UNTIL THE MUSIC STARTS. TITO ORTIZ COMES OUT FOLLOWED BY HIS 6 MAN ENTOURAGE. Cole: "Well you talk about big fight feel, this one is gonna be huge"! HTM: "The world's of MMA and pro wrestling have come together once again but this time, two of the elite from each profession will knock heads and I can't wait"! Cole: "Tito Ortiz is of course one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, but he has recently put a lot of dedication into becoming a great wrestler and from what we've seen so far on PrimeTime, mission accomplished"! HTM: "I think John Cena is in for a long night. Whether he tries to brawl with Tito or wrestle Tito, I see him as a huge underdog"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "MY TIME IS NOW" PLAYS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO A SURPRISINGLY MASSIVE CHEER, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ALL NIGHT. Cole: "Listen to the reaction for John Cena! The chain gang is out in full force here in London"! HTM: "It's clear that these people here in London are very pro-Cena, but I don't see that having an affect on this match! Tito has a gameplan and he'll execute it"! Cole: "Yeah, and he's also got six big guys at ringside with him"! HTM: "Mike Enos, a former wrestler is the referee...... good decision, but maybe they should've asked Steve Mazzagatti"! Tito Ortiz vs. John Cena Right as the bell sounded, Cena and Ortiz met in the center of the ring, trading blows. The fans were on their feet, cheering on the intense action. Ortiz tried to shoot on Cena, but Cena defended it perfectly and then took Ortiz down himself. After landing a bunch of punches, Cena found himself on the receiving end of some heavy elbows after Ortiz reversed and got the mount. Ortiz then went into a quick armbar and he looked like he was going to snap Cena's arm, but Cena reached for the bottom rope in desperation, grabbing it to earn a break. Ortiz got up and waited for Cena to do the same, throwing a headkick when he did. Cena fell to the mat like he'd been shot and Ortiz covered him for the 1.........2.........., but Cena just got his right shoulder off the mat. Standing over a prone Cena, Ortiz began to club him with swinging forearms from either side. Finally, Cena stood up and had Ortiz on his shoulders, dropping him with an electric chair. 2 members or Ortiz's group got up on the apron but Cena took them both out with punches. He then turned right into a flying knee from Ortiz which looked like a knockout blow. Ortiz made the cover, but still, he couldn't keep Cena down. Ortiz pulled him up and whipped him into the corner but he ran right into a back elbow and Cena smashed him with a clothesline. Cena was all fired up, but he was again distracted by 2 more members of Ortiz's entourage. Again, Cena decked them both with right hands and this time, he blocked the flying knee but Ortiz ducked a right hand and put Cena down with a big backdrop suplex. He then locked on a side headlock, placing all of his weight on Cena. The hold was very close to being a choke and although Enos checked for that, Cena seemed to be fading away. Enos checked his right arm, and it dropped twice. On the third attempt, Cena was able to keep it up, staying alive. From there, Cena's eyes opened as wide as possible and he somehow stood up with Ortiz on his shoulders! With Ortiz in disbelief, Cena delivered the "F-U" and fell into the cover, 1........2........3! Match Time: 6:03 Cole: "Oh my God! I don't know if we've ever seen anything like that"! HTM: "I can guarantee that Tito Ortiz hasn't"! Cole: "John Cena has done it! All of the stuff he's had to deal with since Tito Ortiz surfaced in the TWF, can be put behind him"! HTM: "I have to admit, I'm surprised, but I'll give credit where credit is due, Cena is a freak of nature"! "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED AGAIN AND CENA STOOD IN THE RING, TAKING IN THE CHEERS FROM THE APPRECIATIVE CROWD. BACKSTAGE......... MONEY MIKE IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE AND WHEN HE TURNS THE CORNER, HE RUNS RIGHT INTO CHAOS WOLF. Money Mike: (laughs) "Well look who it is, let me guess, you're on your way to go win the Universal title"? Chaos Wolf: "I only have to worry about one guy tonight..... you're up against three". Money Mike: "See, but that's just one of many things you and I don't have in common, Mister....... Wolf. I mean, for one, I usually have the women flocking to me and you, don't even know what a woman is. But most importantly, I'm a winner and you're....... well you'll find out when your match is over". MONEY MIKE WALKS AWAY AND WOLF LOOKS ON. Chaos Wolf (to himself): "Jackass............ WITH THE SUN PRETTY MUCH SET IN LONDON, A BELL TOLLS AND AN EXCITED CHILL COMES OVER WEMBLEY STADIUM. SEVERAL DRUIDS WALK OUT, FORMING A LINE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE. EACH OF THEM IS HOLDING A BURNING TORCH. AFTER ANOTHER TOLL OF THE BELL, THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY AND CHEERS CAN BE HEARD FOR MILES AROUND. MOMENTS LATER, THE DEADMAN STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK AND SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. Cole: "Are you ready for this? The Undertaker, the seven time TWF World champion, is here in London and look at the show of respect for this man". HTM: "The Undertaker is without a doubt one of the greatest of all time but I really think we're gonna see something special from his opponent, Joe Corey". NOW IN THE RING, THE UNDERTAKER TAKES OFF HIS TRENCH COAT FOLLOWED BY HIS HAT. Cole: "Arguably the greatest superstar the TWF has ever seen compete, The Undertaker looks ready to go tonight". "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYS AND BOOS ARE LOUDLY HEARD AS JOE COREY STEPS THROUGH THE ECW ENTRANCE WITH PAUL HEYMAN. BUT THEY AREN'T ALONE, SYLVESTER TERKAY IS ALSO WITH THEM, HEADING TO THE RING. HTM: "And here comes Joe Corey.... take a look at the determination on his face". Cole: "Well we heard Corey state earlier tonight that he was gonna finish The Undertaker, but what the hell is Sylvester Terkay doing out here"? HTM: "Well he is one half of the Rampage tag team champs, but more importantly, he's part of ECW! Don't you know that when you mess with one of them, you get the whole group"?! COREY GETS A MICROPHONE AND THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO. Joe Corey: "Wow, you people here in London are just really classy....... what a cesspool. Undertaker, I know you came out here expecting to get those grimy hands of yours on me, but because I just don't feel like competing tonight, that's not gonna happen". Cole: "What"?! Corey: "Nope, so you're gonna have to face someone else....... the Manbear, Sylvester Terkay! So you can stop all your booing and for everyone watching at home that feels like you just got ripped off....... good! Get in there Sylvester"! TERKAY HESITANTLY GOES INTO THE RING, AS IF HE WASN'T EXPECTING TO BE PUT IN THE MATCH. Cole: "Can he do this? This match was officially signed! How can he pull out and replace himself with another ECW member"?! HTM: "Well he just did and now the deadman has gotta face the Manbear"! Non-Title Match The Undertaker vs. ECW World champ: Sylvester Terkay w/ Joe Corey and Paul Heyman Still in shock, the crowd had to settle in as the bell sounded. Corey badmouthed The Undertaker from outside the ring and that allowed Terkay to get the jump on him, hitting him with several shots to the head and body. Terkay began to pummel The Undertaker, who seemed to have no defense for the ECW World champion. Finally, Taker blocked right hand and punched Terkay right near the throat, which really staggered him. He then went into a fighting stance and began to pound away with some stiff body shots before whalloping him with a soupbone right hand that knocked him to the mat. After running the ropes, The Undertaker delivered a huge legdrop, covering Terkay for a count of 1. Taker pulled him up and ran the ropes again but Terkay countered with a beautiful armbar takedown. He yanked and pulled at the left arm as Undertaker fought the pain. After keeping him in it for nearly a minute, Terkay stood up and stomped right on his back before kicking him as hard as he could in the ribs. Undertaker stood up and backed up into the corner where Terkay followed with shots to the head and kicks to the body. Taker could barely defend himself as Terkay started to land some kidney punches of his own. He then pulled The Undertaker out into a belly to belly suplex, flattening him with it. Terkay went back to The Undertaker's hobbled left arm, trying to render it useless. Despite the efforts of the Manbear, The Undertaker hung tough and fought him off. As Terkay yanked at the left arm, Taker fired back with right hands, battling to get free. He finally did and after ducking a clothesline, Undertaker kicked Terkay right in the face. Corey yelled "Get up! multiple times as Undertaker locked in, pulling Terkay up. He whipped him to the corner and slammed into him with a clothesline before grabbing his right arm and calling for 'Old School'. But with Paul Heyman distracting referee Charles Robinson, Corey got on the apron and shook the ring ropes. Undertaker fell into the grasp of Terkay, who dumped him on his head with a release suplex. Terkay followed that up by locking the deadman in a dragon sleeper. He had it locked on tight but The Undertaker was able to get to his feet, still in the hold. He began to pound on the right knee of Terkay, eventually forcing him to release the hold. Terkay ran back at him but Undertaker was waiting, slapping his right hand around his throat. Terkay avoided a sure chokeslam though by swatting The Undertaker's arm away. Terkay then clipped him with a kick to the head before grabbing him for another suplex. But The Undertaker escaped with a nasty headbutt before grabbing Terkay again, this time hitting the chokeslam. Undertaker looked straight at Corey with a fierce look in his eyes before scooping up the manbear and delivering the Tombstone, with authority. After crossing the arms of Terkay, Undertaker stuck out his tongue as Robinson issued the 3 count. Match Time: 12:07 AS THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC PLAYED, HE ENGAGED IN A LONG STAREDOWN WITH COREY, WHO SEEMED SURPRISED BY THE RESULT. Cole: "Well so much for Joe Corey's substitute! The Undertaker has come away with a very impressive victory here at MeltDown"! HTM: "No one has done that to Sylvester Terkay..... I can't imagine what is going through Corey's mind right now". THE UNDERTAKER LEAVES THE RING, NOT TAKING HIS EYES OFF OF COREY AS HE WALKS UP THE RAMP. IN THE RING, PAUL HEYMAN AND COREY HAVE TURNED THEIR FOCUS TO SYLVESTER TERKAY, AND THEY SEEM TO BE VERY UPSET WITH HIM. Cole: "What is Corey....... badmouthing Terkay"? HTM: "Sure looks like it..... he dropped the ball, Michael". Cole: "Oh come on! First, you don't have the guts to get into the ring yourself and now..... now you're ticked off that the guy you selected to take your place lost the match?! Joe Corey needs to get over himself"! BACKSTAGE...... CHAOS WOLF's DRESSING ROOM....... CHAOS WOLF IS SHOWN TAPING UP HIS FISTS WHEN THERE IS A KNOCK ON HIS DRESSING ROOM DOOR. Chaos Wolf: "Come in". THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND CHRIS TIRPAK ENTERS THE ROOM. CHAOS WOLF TURNS TO SEE HIM AND HE LOOKS SURPRISED. Chaos Wolf: "Wow..... I don't know whether to shake your hand or knock you out..... TIRPAK EXTENDS HIS HAND AND WOLF SHAKES IT. Chris Tirpak: "Look man, all that BS aside...... I came here to wish you good luck tonight. Chaos Wolf, Universal champion..... has a good ring to it". TIRPAK LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM AND WOLF SEEMS TO BE WONDERING WHAT HE's UP TO. A VIDEO PACKAGE CONTAINING "TEARS DON'T FALL" BY BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE COMES ON AND SHOWS THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OR SO OR THE CAREER OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN. FROM VINCE McMAHON SCREWING HIM OUT OF THE WORLD TITLE TO HIS DRAMATIC RETURN. THE MUSIC CUTS OUT AS CERTAIN QUOTES FROM HIS SIT-DOWN INTERVIEW WITH RICKY STEAMBOAT ARE SPLICED IN. COMMENTS FROM MUHAMMAD HASSAN, MOSTLY ABOUT HIS CLAIMS OF DISCRIMINATION ARE ADDED TO THE VIDEO AND THE PACKAGE ENDS WITH A SIDE BY SIDE SHOT OF BOTH MEN AS THE MUSIC CUTS OUT. BACK AT RINGSIDE, MUHAMMAD HASSAN's MUSIC COMES ON, STARTING WITH AN ARABIC CHANT AND HE COMES OUT TO EASILY THE LOUDEST BOOS OF THE NIGHT, DRESSED IN HIS WHITE OUTFIT AND HEADDRESS. J.R.: "This may be viewed as punishment to some, but judging by the reaction that the general manager of Rampage is getting, I don't think anyone believes it to be unfair"! Lawler: "Well keep in mind that Hassan is just on a probationary period, so who knows how much longer we'll see Rowdy Roddy Piper in that position. Maybe the next time, it will be Hassan throwing Piper to the wolves"! J.R.: "Let's not take anything away from Hassan's in ring ability, he is a great competitor..... I just think he's about to be hit by a whirlwind tonight". AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN COMES ON AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE AISLE, NOT BLINKING AN EYE. THE FANS GREET HIM WITH A DEAFENING CHEER. Lawler: "The video that led into this shows what Travis Wakeman has gone through and what he has become in a nutshell..... let's not forget how instrumental Muhammad Hassan was in taking the World title from Wakeman"! J.R.: "I doubt Wakeman has forgotten, but what I do know is that all Wakeman sees is an opponent". Muhammad Hassan vs. Travis Wakeman As the bell sounded to start the fight, Wakeman stared across the ring with a menacing look on his face, almost daring Hassan to come after him. Hassan slowly walked up, trash talking Wakeman but Wakeman quickly turned the lights out with a right hand. Hassan hit the mat and was in a lot of trouble as Wakeman got on him, almost trying to finish him MMA style. Referee Scott Martin pulled Wakeman up and Hassan got up with a desperation thumb to the eyes. After several right hands, Hassan delivered a side Russian leg sweep before again shouting some obscenities out into the crowd, who loudly booed. He then turned back around and waited for Wakeman to get up. He then went for his reverse STO but Wakeman countered and hit a sit-out spinebuster with authority. When Hassan returned to his feet, Wakeman ran him over with a clothesline. Hassan got up, but Wakeman kicked him in the abdomen and then, to the amazement of the crowd, powerbombed Hassan right on the top turnbuckle pad! Hassan tried to recover, but he was in trouble and Wakeman got down, slapping on the Crossface! Hassan fought it but he didn't fight it long as Wakeman got him to tap out. Finally, 10 seconds after the bell sounded to stop the match, Wakeman finally let go of the hold. Match Time: 6:02 J.R.: "And that's it..... this one is over"! Lawler: "He got Hassan to tap out to that crossface"! J.R.: "Wait a minute, what is Hassan doing"?! RIGHT AFTER WAKEMAN HAD HIS HAND RAISED, HASSAN CAME FROM BEHIND, SPUN HIM AROUND AND SLAPPED HIM ACROSS THE FACE. THE CROWD COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT THEY WERE RELIEVED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. WAKEMAN HIT HASSAN WITH A RIGHT UPPERCUT THAT CROSSED HIS EYES AND KNOCKED HIM STIFF. Lawler: "Whoa..... that was a knockout"! J.R.: "I think Wakeman might have just taken Hassan's probationary period and put him on a permanent leave of absence"! "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AGAIN AS WAKEMAN LEFT THE RING TO A LOT OF CHEERS. IN THE RING, MARTIN WAS DOING HIS BEST TO HELP HASSAN UP, BUT HE WAS UNRESPONSIVE. Lawler: "Let's send it to the back, I think we're gonna need some paramedics out here"! BACKSTAGE.......... IN THE BACK, TODD GRISHAM IS WITH ROB VAN DAM. Todd Grisham: "With me at this time is a man who is about set to compete in the fatal four way match for the TWF World title, Rob........ Rob Van Dam: "Come on, Todd, do you really think I need an introduction? Besides, everyone will hear my name at the end of this match". RVD PATS GRISHAM ON THE SHOULDER AND WALKS WAY WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. Back to the ring, the familiar sound of an engine revving up is heard in the arena and "Stronger" by Kanye West hits. The fans roar when "High Octane" Damien West comes walking out with a new look. He no longer has the bright blue hair and he is wearing a plain white t-shirt and loose fitting blue jeans. He makes his way down to the ring, seeming to take it all in as he grabs a mic. Cole: "Look at this..... it's High Octane"! HTM: "Wow, I forgot about the fact he was supposed to be here tonight.... but is that even him, he looks so much different".
Damion West: "Hmm.. So I guess you guys remember me?
The crowd cheers loudly
West: Ya know, it's funny... people have been asking me where I've been for awhile now, and I gave a lot of excuses. I told people I was hurt, I told people I had family issues... and I lied to all of them. See, it's ironic that I'm saying all of this at MeltDown, because it was here that it all started. Two years ago at this event, I lost the TWF World title, and it put me into a downward spiral. I began to lose focus on my career, and started losing matches. The more matches I lost, the more depressed I became, and I turned to something that I never thought I would,..... drugs.
The crowd sits in a stunned silence as West is visably upset.
West: It got to the point where I lost everything, my family, my friends... everyone gave up on me. But the one thing that hurt the most, was I had given up on myself. I had always prided myself on the fact that even though I may be smaller than the man standing across the ring from me, I had never backed down. And now, I was letting all of my dreams go without a fight. Well, that just wasn't going to happen. I checked myself into rehab, and I can happily tell all of you today that I am clean... and I am back!" Cole: "Wow".
The crowd gives West a standing ovation as he looks around the arena, tears in his eyes.
West: "Thank you... it's because of all of you that I had the strength to come back. But I didn't come back to the TWF to talk on a microphone or play games. I came back for one reason, to take back what is mine. My reputation, my pride, my fans... and my title. You may notice some differences in me, and there is a reason for that. I have always been known as a fun loving guy, and that fun loving guy was a three time TWF World Champion. But I want more than that, I NEED more then that! I am more focused now than I have ever been, I am in the best shape I have ever been in, and I am hungry. So let this serve notice to that whole locker room, I'm Damien West... and I'm back!"
West drops the mic as the crowd explodes and "Stronger" hits again. Cole: "Simply put, but what a statement". HTM: "You can see the maturation..... the determination and I believed every word he said". Cole: "Very startling revelations from Damion West, but he seems to be a different man and like he said..... he's back"! THE SHOT MOVES OVER TO THE RAMPAGE BROADCAST POSITION. J.R.: "Definitely good to see Damion West back in the TWF and King, you and I both know what he is capable of". Lawler: "Oh yeah, one of the most decorated stars in TWF history, without a doubt". "MISTERRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY COMES OUT TO A VERY BIG CHEER AS HE HEADS DOWN THE RAMP. J.R.: "Well we have worked our way into our main event and this crowd is still hot as a pistol"! Lawler: "Four men all battling for the World title here, J.R., I can't wait"! J.R.: "Mr. Kennedy was able to capture the World title back at WrestleMania but using his rematch clause, Chris Masters got it back pretty quickly". "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT TO AN OVERWHELMING STREAM OF BOOS. Lawler: "Well here's my pick...... it's been too long since we've seen the gold around the waist of Money Mike..... tonight is his night"! J.R.: "And the one time he did have it around his waist, if you blinked..... ya missed it"! "ONE OF KIND" BY BREAKING POINT HITS NEXT AND PYRO POPS OFF EVERYWHERE BEFORE ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHEERS ALL NIGHT. Lawler: "Ahh! My ears"! J.R.: "Wembley Stadium is rattling for the Whole Damn Show! Rob Van Dam is as popular a superstar as we have here in the TWF, and that's being shown on an international level tonight"! Lawler: "And we've seen RVD come up huge in big title matches in the past, he could add another star on that resume tonight"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, GOLD PYRO BEGINS TO SPOUT FROM THE ENTRANCE, ALMOST LIKE THOUSANDS OF SPARKLERS HAVE BEEN LIT. BOOS FILTER IN WHEN CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC COMES ON AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE WORLD TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS CHISELED WAIST. THE BOOS GROW EVEN LOUDER AS HE BEGINS TO FLEX AND POSE BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING. J.R.: "One of the most impressive physical specimen we have ever seen grace the TWF ring..... Chris Masters is a freak of nature". Lawler: "And he's quickly transformed himself into one of the greatest champions we have ever seen..... just take a look at the guy"! J.R.: "Masters is at a huge disadvantage tonight however, because the first man to earn a decision, no matter who he earns it over, wins that title". Lawler: "Masters doesn't even have to be involved in the decision to lose the title..... I'm pretty sure he knows that. Sounds like a decision made by Rowdy Roddy Piper to me"! J.R.: "Referee Jimmy Korderas will be in charge of the action here, and there will be a lot of action to follow..... here we go"! Fatal 4 Way/TWF World Title Match Mr. Kennedy vs. Money Mike vs. Rob Van Dam vs. (c) "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters Korderas held the TWF World title up as the 4 men circled each other. The bell sounded after the belt was given to the timekeeper and the 4 men met in the center of the ring, exchanging blows. Money Mike traded with Rob Van Dam while Kennedy and Masters renewed their rivalry. Money Mike was able to get a kick into the midsection of RVD before throwing him over the top rope, but RVD "skinned the cat" and pulled himself back in the ring, drilling Mike with a spinning jump kick right on the jaw. After a corkscrew legdrop, RVD went to run the ropes but Masters met him with a clothesline before clocking Kennedy with a right hand. With Kennedy and RVD down, Masters and Money Mike seemed to come to some sort of agreement to work on the other 2 men as a unit. But right as Masters turned his back, Mike spun him around into the "Money Pit". It may've been the first time Money Mike had ever heard cheers, but he quickly quelled them by flipping the crowd the bird! Masters rolled out of the ring as the other 3 men went at it. Mike was able to duck another flying kick attempt by RVD and RVD nailed Kennedy instead. Mike then grabbed Kennedy and put him down with a vicious DDT but RVD threw a kick, only to have Mike catch it. That was Van Dam's plan as he then erased Money Mike with the step-over heel kick. After landing the Rolling Thunder, RVD peered into the crowd, who was going crazy. Quick as a cat, RVD leaped to the top rope and flew off with the "5 Star Frog Splash", getting tremendous height. But he slammed into the mat when Money Mike rolled out of the way! However, as Money Mike tried to recover, Kennedy moved in like a thief in the night and used an Oklahoma roll on RVD to get the 1..........2..........3. Match Time: 3:00 Lawler: "What?! That's it"?! J.R.: "That's it! Mr. Kennedy has regained the World title"! Lawler: "I can't believe it..... you made the little joke a few minutes ago about blink and you missed it..... that goes for this match"! KENNEDY's MUSIC PLAYED AS KORDERAS HANDED HIM THE BELT AND MOST OF THE CROWD WAS CHEERING. MASTERS WAS IN SHOCK AS HE LOOKED ON FROM OUTSIDE THE RING. J.R.: "Kennedy took advantage of a situation and got the victory"! JUST THEN, A RUMBLING KICKED UP IN THE CROWD AS "TNT" BY AC/DC BEGAN TO PLAY. Lawler: "What the heck is goin' on"? J.R.: "Is that..... he can't be". THROUGH THE SEA OF HUMANITY, CHRIS TIRPAK COULD BE SEEN, WITH THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE IN HAND. Lawler: "Don't tell me.......... J.R.: "This place is going nuts"! TIRPAK FINALLY REACHES THE RING AND KENNEDY SEEMS TO BE IN SHOCK. TIRPAK HANDS THE BRIEFCASE TO KORDERAS WHO STARTS TO WHISPER INTO THE EAR OF LILIAN GARCIA. Lilian Garcia: "Ladies and gentlemen......... Chris Tirpak is cashing in his WrestleMania Jackpot! The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the TWF World title"! J.R.: "You gotta be kidding"! Lawler: "Things are just happening too quickly out here! I feel like we've gone through a calendar year in about five minutes"! J.R.: "Well we made mention of Mr. Kennedy's first reign as TWF champ being short..... this would be unprecedented"! TWF World Title Match Challenger: Chris Tirpak vs. Mr. Kennedy Tirpak was raring to go as the bll sounded and he went right at Kennedy, throwing wild haymakers. Kennedy did his best to block and defend the shots, but Tirpak went to kicks to the body before picking Kennedy up and throwing him across the ring with a gutwrench suplex. Tirpak went for a cover, but Kennedy was easily up. Tirpak stayed on Kennedy, not wanting him to recover. After slinging Kennedy to the corner, he followed in with a clothesline before getting him up for the "Lights Out". The crowd was on their feet but Kennedy was able to slide off his shoulders and he hit the "Mic Check" out of nowhere. Kennedy was not able to make the cover, and both men were down. Curiously, Chris Masters was still at ringside, protesting what happened in the fatal four way. Kennedy got to his feet first and saw Masters before taking him out with a baseball slide. But that allowed Tirpak to come from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head and after a backdrop suplex, he went for another cover, but Kennedy kicked out after 2. Tirpak kept a close eye on Masters before scooping Kennedy up and putting him right back down with a deathdrop DDT. Another cover, another kickout at 2. Tirpak pulled Kennedy back up and whipped him to the ropes before smashing him with a Stan Hansen style lariat. That's when Masters got up on the apron, in the face of Korderas. Tirpak tried to go back to Kennedy but suddenly, Randy Orton was in the ring and he hit the unsuspecting Tirpak with the "RKO" out of nowhere! The fans littered the place with boos as Orton made a quick getaway. Unsure of what had happened, Kennedy crawled atop Tirpak and Korderas turned to make the 3 count. J.R.: "Ah hell no! You gotta be kidding me! This is bullshit"! Lawler: "Whoa, calm down, J.R."! J.R.: "I'm not gonna calm down! That son of a bitch Randy Orton just screwed Chris Tirpak out of his dream"! KENNEDY's MUSIC PLAYED AGAIN AND HE HELD THE TITLE UP BUT THE FANS CONTINUED TO BOO THE FINISH OF THE MATCH. Lawler: "It was a controversial finish, but Kennedy has survived"! J.R.: "Controversial would be putting it mild and I apologize for getting so worked up, but that was one of the worst things I've ever seen"! BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW RANDY ORTON RUN ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE BUILDING AND GET INTO A VEHICLE WHICH SPEEDS AWAY. THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE SAMAIEL IS TALKING WITH A COUPLE MEMBERS OF SECURITY IN THE STANDS. HE IS SHOWING THEM A TICKET THAT HE HAS PURCHASED TO OBTAIN A RINGSIDE SEAT WHICH HE JUST BOUGHT FROM ANOTHER FAN. Cole: "Well as Randy Orton hightails it out of here, look what we have here..... Samaiel is gonna sit ringside"! HTM: "Can you believe some fan just sold their seat"? Cole: "Well I don't like the looks of this". THE FANS BEGIN TO CHEER WHEN "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR COMES ON AND CHAOS WOLF COMES OUT LOOKING VERY DETERMINED. WOLF COMES DOWN THE AISLE AND IMMEDIATELY GETS IN THE FACE OF SAMAIEL. HTM: "You're making a mistake, Wolf! He's not your opponent tonight"! Cole: "Well one thing is for sure, Chaos Wolf is not intimidated by Samaiel, but I agree with the point you made, partner, he has enough to worry about tonight with Edge". "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND AFTER SMOKE FILLS THE ENTRANCE, EDGE COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS BUT HE IS TRASH-TALKIN' THE ENTIRE WAY DOWN THE AISLE. THE UNIVERSAL TITLE BARELY STICKS OUT OF THE OPENING OF HIS LONG TRENCH COAT. HTM: "And if you give Edge an opening, he's gonna make you pay". Cole: "Chaos Wolf became the Universal champion by winning the Extreme Elimination chamber match but Edge has contended that without weapons..... without hardcore or extreme rules.... Chaos Wolf simply can't win! Tonight is his chance to disprove that theory". HTM: "Well we're all set, but he still has his eyes fixed on the man sitting at ringside". TWF Universal Title Match Challenger: Chaos Wolf vs. Edge As the bell sounded, Edge was chastising Chaos Wolf, screaming "There are no chairs..... there are no weapons"! Suddenly, Wolf struck him in the mouth with a right hand in the mouth and after a kick to the abdomen, he whipped the champion to the ropes for a cactus clothesline. Edge got up but Wolf met him with a clothesline and after a huge hip toss, Wolf watched Edge roll out of the ring and go to regroup with Samaiel. Samaiel rose from his seat and whispered something in Edge's ear and Edge slowly went back towards the ring, getting to the apron. He climbed back through the ropes and Wolf was back on him with rabbit punches to the back of the head but Edge used a double leg to take the challenger down and he reigned down with heavy forearms and elbows as well. Edge was forced to break but he began to put the boots to Wolf who was now on the receiving end of a lot of punishment. But when Wolf blocked a suplex, he reversed it into a big DDT before going to the turnbuckle and flying off with a clothesline. He went for the cover but Edge was up at 2. Again, Edge rolled out of the ring to go talk wih Samaiel but this time Wolf followed. After knocking Edge down with a shot to the back, Wolf turned and drilled Samaiel with a shot that knocked him into the lap of a few fans. Edge tried to go for the spear but Wolf got out of the way and he hit the barricade hard. Knowing he couldn't win the title on a count out, Wolf went back to the ring to break Mike Chioda's count. But as this was going on, Samaiel went and got what appeared to be the hammer the timekeeper uses for the ring bell. He then handed the tool to Edge, who concealed in near his right forearm. Edge got back onto the apron but when an aggressive Wolf went to grab him, Edge jammed the hammer into his esophagus! He then dropped it outside the ring and got back in, running Chaos Wolf over with the spear when he got up. The crowd was heavily booing as Edge climbed atop Wolf and hooked the outside leg for the 1........2...........3! Match Time: 7:58 Cole: "Oh you've gotta be kidding me! Edge just stole this..... what a damn hypocrite"! HTM: "Hyprocrite?! What the heck are you talking about"?! "METALINGUS" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FIREWORKS SHOW LIGHTENED THE LONDON SKY. SAMAIEL CAME INTO THE RING AND RAISED THE HAND OF EDGE WHO HELD THE UNIVERSAL TITLE UP IN HIS OTHER! Cole: "He has said for weeks that Chaos Wolf would need weapons or..... or.... hardcore rules to beat him and look at the way he won this thing"! CAMERAS GET A CLOSE-UP SHOT OF THE HAMMER LYING OUTSIDE THE RING. HTM: "The bottom line is Edge is walking out of here the winner! You know Chaos Wolf would've done the same thing if he had the chance"! Cole: "Nonetheless, we hope you have enjoyed MeltDown....... good night folks"!
