OUTSIDE THE SAVVIS CENTER, FANS ARE SHOWN FILING INTO THE ARENA AS UPRISING GOES ON THE AIR WITH TODD GRISHAM AND THE HONKY TONK MAN OUTSIDE THE ARENA. Todd Grisham: "It is the last event before WrestleMania six and we are live outside the Savvis Center as we have spent the better part of the last week here in St. Louis, Honky". Honky Tonk Man: "Well I was spared the other night on Main Event, I didn't have to do the show with you". Grisham: "Yeah, thrilled to see you too. But fans, what is thrilling is the card that is lined up for tonight. Seven huge matches from the Rampage division that are sure to set this place on fire Honky". HTM: "I heard that there are almost twenty thousand people here tonight Todd and you're right, they are gonna see some great matches"! Grisham: "Tonight, Travis Wakeman will go one on one with Rodney Mack. But as we saw on Main Event, Wakeman has asked that The Undertaker, the man he will face in a Buried Alive match at WrestleMania, meet him man to man here tonight". MATCH PREVIEW: THE UNDERTAKER VS. TRAVIS WAKEMAN (WRESTLEMANIA 6) The video opens with footage from the 2005 Royal Rumble of The Undertaker using any means necessary to eliminate Travis Wakeman. Just when it looked like Taker was gonna win his third Royal Rumble, Wakeman returned to help see he didn't. A clip was then shown of Wakeman telling the world that he has signed a short term contract with Rampage in order to face The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match. The gong of The Undertaker's bell is heard as the video package begins to show highlights of the deadman's long, storied career. The Undertaker's voice can be heard saying "rest in peace" as a freshly dug burial plot is shown. Grisham: "I'll tell ya Honky, that plot does not look very inviting but one of those men will be inside something like that at WrestleMania". HTM: "Well if Travis Wakeman doesn't clear his mind and focus on tonight's task at hand, then Rodney Mack might bury him first"! Grisham: "Also tonight, the TWF King of Cable title will be on the line. Now, Joe Corey says that Taylor Made is incapable of defeating him. Is that true"? HTM: "It's hard to believe anyone can beat Joe Corey anymore Todd. This guy has a win-loss record that rivals that of anyone and I don't think someone like Taylor Made is gonna be the one to take that gold off him". MATCH PREVIEW: TAYLOR MADE VS. JOE COREY The footage starts by showing clips of Joe Corey and Taylor Made as allies, Corey mainly using Taylor to get the things he wanted. The package goes into Taylor Made trying to get a title match out of Stephanie McMahon, but her saying that he had to earn the match. Highlights are then shown from the 6-pack challenge, won by Taylor Made. The confident look of Taylor Made is shown with his arm raised but the voice of Joe Corey repeatedly says "you cannot defeat me.....and at Code Red, I'm gonna prove it. Not even your little girlfriend Stephanie will be able to stop it..... it's inevitable". Grisham: "Well Honky, I know you believe those statements by Joe Corey but I have seen a growing support for Taylor Made and a lot of that will be here tonight in St. Louis. It won't be a walk in the park for Corey. A PROMO GRAPHIC IS SHOWN WITH CHRIS MASTERS INSIDE THE UPRISING LOGO. Don't go away folks because up next, the debut of Chris Masters". COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE NEW MAZDA RX-8 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A FINAL PROMO FOR CODE RED. RETURN FROM BREAK..... AS UPRISING RETURNS, TODD GRISHAM IS DISPLAYING AN OLD PYRONOMICS T-SHIRT. HTM: "What are you doing with that"? Grisham: "The two men that used to comprise Pyronomics, Austin Pyromania and John Cena of course, will meet inside that ring tonight. What does this match mean and what role will Stacy Kiebler play"? HTM: "It's a huge match Grisham, I mean, think what would happen if Pyromania could beat the man who won the Royal Rumble and is scheduled to main event WrestleMania? And as far as Stacy goes, I think she made a big mistake. I mean, what's she gonna do now, greet people as they enter the arenas"? Grisham: "Stacy is just an honest person and she couldn't say that Pyromania looked better in the contest he had against Cena. I mean, Cena at least won his match". HTM: "Yeah, but you always stand behind your man, something Stacy needs to learn. She's just another pretty face.... that's all". Grisham: "Well Stacy will be in a nuetral corner tonight and if you ask me, that situation is about ready to explode". HTM: "And don't forget about that huge six man tag"! Cole: "The DeadPool to take on a team led by Shawn Michaels but right now, we're gonna send it inside the Savvis Center to the voices of Rampage.... take it away guys"! JIM ROSS AND JERRY LAWLER ARE SHOWN AT THE BROADCAST POSITION. Jim Ross: "Thanks Todd and great job out there despite the circumstances, I think you know what I mean there". Jerry Lawler: "I do". J.R.: "Folks we are just moments away from Code Red so if you have yet to order, now's your chance. You don't wanna miss the supercard that the TWF is putting on tonight". SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND THE FANS CHEER, MOSTLY AT THE SIGHT OF JACKIE GAYDA. Lawler: "Pick up the remote control, the phone, whatever! Just make sure you order, it's gonna be me and J.R. that you get, not that phony Honky Tonk Man"! J.R.: "Well we've got action here in the ring before we kick it over to the pay-per-view and here comes the fine specimen Shawn Stasiak". A NEW ENTRANCE THEME HITS AND CHRIS MASTERS COMES OUT TO LITTLE RESPONSE. HIS TREMENDOUS PHYSIQUE IS VERY EVIDENT AS HE POSES ON THE WAY DOWN THE RAMP. Lawler: "Well if Stasiak is a fine specimen, what is this guy then"? J.R.: "Chris Masters is a tremendous athlete who has been involved in some bodybuilding, I mean, the guy is a.....he's a...... Lawler: "Go ahead and say it J.R., he's a masterpiece"! J.R.: "I'm interested in seeing what he can do inside the ring rather than dressing up as a cameraman and helping Joe Corey to victory". Shawn Stasiak w/ Jackie Gayda vs. Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters Stasiak stood right up to Masters when Masters asked for a pose down. But Stasiak kicked him in the gut and followed it up with some punches. Stasiak hung tough, allowing Masters little offense. But after reversing an irish whip, Masters clubbed him with a double sledge across the chest that put Stasiak down. He then picked him up and locked in a full nelson, swinging him around. Stasiak dropped to his knees and tapped out, realizing there was no escape. Match Time: 8:25 Lawler: "Well at least Stasiak made him work"! J.R.: "It's been a number of years since I've seen someone use the full nelson to finish an opponent but King, if applied correctly, it can be a paralyzing move"! Lawler: "Tell me about it, I've had that move put on me a thousand times"! J.R.: "I think it's safe to say that Chris Masters is one to keep your eye on folks. But that's all the time we have, so we will be switching over to the TWF Pay-perview channel, you have to join us there and order to see all of tonight's action go down"! THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK BEFORE THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT LOGO AND LEGAL DISCLAIMER ARE DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN. IN A BLACK AND WHITE SHOT, AN EMPTY WRESTLING RING IS SHOWN AND A PULSE MONTIOR IS HEARD, A HEART FAINTLY BEATING. AS THE CAMERA MOVES TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, VOICES ARE HEARD AS IF INSIDE A MEDICAL FACILITY. "DON'T LET THIS ONE GO" SAYS ONE VOICE. JUST THEN, THE HEARTBEAT ON THE PULSE MONITOR FLATLINES AND COLOR SHOTS OF A FEW RAMPAGE SUPERSTARS ARE SHOWN IN ACTION. JOHN CENA, AUSTIN PYROMANIA, DREW BLOOD AND SHAWN MICHAELS ARE ALL SHOWN..... FOLLOWED BY THE UNDERTAKER. THEN, THEY MORPH INTO THE CODE RED LOGO, WHICH IS FLASHING IN RED AND HAS THE SOUND OF A BEATING HEART CONTAINED IN EACH FLASH. Audio Voiceover: "And now..... TWF Entertainment and The Curse, starring Christina Ricci present........... THE SAVVIS CENTER COMES INTO VIEW AND RED PYRO POUNDS OFF ON THE SET WHICH HAS THE FLASHING CODE RED LOGO AND AMBULANCE DOORS SWUNG OPEN TO CREATE THE ENTRYWAY. THERE ARE STRETCHERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SET AS WELL. Jim Ross: "We are in the Savvis Center for the second time in a week and this time, it's for TWF pay-per-view action"! Jerry Lawler: "Oh I can't hardly wait J.R., we are on the road to WrestleMania and we are gonna see some WrestleMania-like matches right here tonight"! SYLVAIN GRENIER's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD GOES INTO AN IMMEDIATE CHORUS OF BOOS AS HE COMES OUT WITH JIMMY HART WHO IS BABBLING OVER HIS MEGAPHONE. J.R.: "And here comes the man who from this point forward wants to be known as Quebec's Finest, King but we both know that Quebec hasn't named an entire day after him"! Lawler: "You're as bad as Rob Storm J.R.! Must you rub it in"! J.R.: "We are gonna witness two matches tonight between former tag team partners but this one is because Sylvain Grenier's ego got too big for La Resistance"! THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD POP, WAVING THE CANADIAN FLAG. Lawler: "Grenier's ego? Listen J.R., which one of these guys made it a point to let everyone know that he had a day named after him in Toronto"? J.R.: "He took great pride in that King and to be honest, I'm damn proud of him myself"! Lawler: "Well at least Jimmy Hart knows the truth, you see which one of these two he chose to manage". J.R.: "But can Grenier survive as a singles wrestler? I know Jimmy Hart is among the best when it comes to managing superstars but Grenier has always been a tag team guy, that's what makes this an important test for him". Lawler: "Well I would bet money he's up to the challenge". Sylvain Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Rob Storm The battle between the former La Resistance started off in a collar and elbow tie up position. Grenier immediately shifted into a standing side headlock, listening to Hart barking out orders. But Storm backed him into the ropes and shot him to the other side. But with momentum on his side, Grenier took him down with a shoulder block. He then dropped an elbow and went for the cover but barely drew a 1 count. Grenier pulled Storm up and slapped his chest twice with an open hand. He then whipped him to the ropes but Storm avoided a backhand and took Grenier down with a back footsweep. He then rolled Grenier over and locked in a bow and arrow stretch. Grenier fought the pain and was able to break out of the hold. He rolled to the floor to regroup with Hart but Storm followed. Storm hit Grenier with a right hand but Hart shoved him from behind. He then started running around the ring and Storm, not thinking clearly, followed. Grenier positioned himself in a crouched stance by the ring steps and when Storm came around, he exploded on him with a clothesline. Grenier rolled his former partner into the ring and put the boots to his chest, holding his lower back after each one. He whipped Storm to the corner and followed in with a clothesline but Storm moved and lifted him up, dropping him across his knee with a backbreaker. Storm then went to the middle turnbuckle, coming off with a front elbow, enough to get him a 2 count. Grenier looked like he was on the ropes but he reversed a Storm irish whip and caught him with an impressive powerslam. But instead of going for the cover, Grenier showed his inexperience, taunting the crowd. He turned around, looking to pull Storm up. But Storm drove 2 right hands into his abdomen. He then pulled him in for a suplex but Grenier blocked it and lifted him up for one of his own. Storm was able to escape though and land right behind Grenier. Grenier caught him with a back elbow to the face and hit the ropes. But Storm used a back roll while grabbing Grenier's legs and came out with him in a boston crab, a sequence the fans loved. Grenier screamed in anguish but Storm arched his back even more, making it like a Lion Tamer hold. Grenier was in a lot of trouble and there was no where to go, something he probably realized as he slapped the mat to let referee Chad Patton know he was done. Match Time: 6:17 THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYED AS STORM PROUDLY WAVED THE FLAG IN THE RING. J.R.: "That's gotta be a good feeling for Rob Storm, getting this win over Grenier who if you ask me King, should be ashamed of his actions"! Lawler: "They formed one of the better tag teams we've seen here on Rampage J.R. but I think it's safe to say that that is history". J.R.: "Well that'll be something Jimmy Hart and Mr. Grenier can mull over next year on Rob Storm day"! BACKSTAGE AREA..... DRESSING ROOM..... TAYLOR MADE IS SHOWN DRESSING HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR. HE HAS CHOSEN A NICE GRAY SUIT AND A RED KANGOL HAT TO GO WITH IT. TERRI AND DESIRE ENTER THE ROOM. Taylor Made: "Ladies....... did you come to wish me luck"? Desire: "Are you kidding? You left us with Carlito.... remember"? Terri: "But that's okay, because you're not half as cool as Carlito. Besides, you're the one who thinks he gets lucky all the time, you don't need it from us. THE WOMEN START TO LEAVE BUT TERRI COMES BACK. Oh, and if anyone asks, you didn't drop us.... we dropped you". TERRI GOES TO SLAP HIM ACROSS THE FACE BUT HE CATCHES HER HAND AND LAUGHS BEFORE WALKING OUT OF THE ROOM. THE SOUND OF THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS' CHOIR IS HEARD, SINGING THE MUSIC OF SAM WILDE. HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE, WEARING HIS USUAL SHIRT WITH THE PHRASE "GOD IS GOOD". IN HIS RIGHT HAND IS HIS BIBLE. J.R.: "Tag team action on the way here as Sam Wilde makes his way out and a lot of speculation has been made as to whether or not he can trust Nemesis for this match King". SAM WILDE STANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, OPENS HIS BIBLE AND RAISES IT. Lawler: "I don't know what to think about Nemesis anymore but can you believe Taylor Made? He sure thinks he's God's gift to women doesn't he"? J.R.: "When things are all said and done tonight, he might be King of Cable too". AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE FANS BURST INTO CHEER AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH KICKS UP AND A DARK FIGURE APPEARS IN THE ENTRANCE. Lawler: "Well, here he comes"! J.R.: "They've always made a very unorthodox pair but all in all, these two have been great allies for many years King". KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS AND THE FAMILIAR "YOU SUCK" CHANTS START AS HE AND HIS PARTNER, KARAM IBRAHIM COME OUT IN MATCHING RED SINGLETS. Lawler: "Yeah but do you really think they have what it takes to defeat this team, with two Olympic gold medals between them"? J.R.: "The list of accolades for these two is a mile long and not only that, but they have found a winning streak as a team, something that doesn't bode well for Wilde and Nemesis". Lawler: "Well I personally love the way Angle has taken this kid Ibrahim under his wing and taught him how to be a winner at this level. He deserves a gold medal for that if you ask me"! J.R.: "Nonetheless it should make for a very interesting tag team matchup here". Nemesis and Sam Wilde vs. Kurt Angle and Karam Ibrahim With Wilde waiting across the ring, Angle pulled Ibrahim aside and told him to go to the corner because he needed to "get the match off to the right pace". But right when he turned around, Wilde whipped him to the mat with an armdrag followed by another. Angle stood up and a somersault led to an escape. He then smashed Wilde with a clothesline but had already become very frustrated. Angle grabbed Wilde in a front facelock and just tried to wear him down to the mat. He yelled "see this Karam" as Wilde went to the mat. Angle then pulled him up and delivered a vertical suplex before tagging out. Ibrahim came in and pushed Wilde to the corner, driving his shoulder into his midsection. He shot him to the far corner and followed in but Wilde slung over him right into a sunset flip to get a near fall. Ibrahim got up and threw a clothesline but Wilde responded with a drop toehold before making the tag to the big man. Nemesis came in and opened up on the Egyptian wrestler, an offensive attack much different than that of Wilde's. Nemesis shot him to the ropes and kicked him right in the face with a boot before making the cover but Angle came in to break it up. As referee Jimmy Korderas pulled Angle to his corner, the beating continued from Nemesis. Wilde was tagged back in and after a fisherman suplex, he got a long 2 count. Angle was very frustrated on the apron but there was nothing he could do. Nothing until he made a blind tag, slapping Ibrahim's left shoulder when Wilde sent him to the ropes. Waiting for Ibrahim to come back, Wilde was clotheslined by Angle who wildly pulled down the straps on his outfit before pulling Wilde up, flinging him across the ring with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Angle went over and made the cover but Wilde was up after a 2 count. Angle was becoming increasingly frustrated and he pulled Wilde up, sending him hard to the ropes. Wilde ducked a clothesline and hit the ropes on the other side, looking for a cross body block. But Angle actually went for the same thing and they collided in mid air. Both men were down, on opposite sides of their corners. But they fought there way across the mat to make simultaneous tags. Ibrahim got in the ring first but Nemesis blocked his right hand and smacked him with a forearm. Nemesis then grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the corner. Angle tried to come in but Nemesis turned around and kicked him right in the face before tagging Wilde again. Wilde delivered a monkey flip to Ibrahim as Nemesis launched Angle over the top rope and to the floor. After a tight swinging neckbreaker on Ibrahim, Wilde tagged in Nemesis, calling for the finish. Nemesis lifted him up as if to go for a shoulderbreaker. But everyone knew what was coming as Nemesis delivered the "Shut Down", hooking the leg of Ibrahim as Korderas made the 3 count. Match Time: 8:00 Lawler: "Ahhhh! How did this happen J.R."?! J.R.: "Well it looks to me like the team of Sam Wilde and Nemesis were the better men tonight"! Lawler: "They were better than Ibrahim! Let's face it J.R., he clearly cost them that match"! AS NEMESIS AND WILDE LEFT, ANGLE SEEMED VERY UPSET WITH IBRAHIM. J.R.: "Yeah, Kurt was so perfect and Karam was so bad tonight, that's how it was King! Gimme a damn break"! Lawler: "Well I betcha Kurt Angle agrees with me"! PARKING GARAGE...... THE HEADLIGHTS OF A VEHICLE ARE SHOWN ENTERING THE PARKING GARAGE. THE VEHICLE, A BLACK HUMMER, PARKS. J.R.: "Who's this now". THE DOORS OPEN AND STRIFE AND BAHAMUT FROM PRIMETIME GET OUT. THE CROWD INSIDE THE ARENA CHEERS WILDLY. Lawler: "Hey, what the hell are they doing here?! Somebody get security"! J.R.: "I have a pretty good idea what those two are here for. A SHOT IS SHOWN FROM OUTSIDE THE SAVVIS CENTER. "TWF CODE RED... LIVE TONIGHT" IS DISPLAYED ON THE MARQUEE. A beautiful night here in St. Louis as the sun is beginning to set, just a lovely shot there". Lawler: "Yeah but what's not lovely is those two goons from PrimeTime that just showed up". "GET THE PARTY STARTED" BY PINK HITS AND ALEX MIRAN COMES OUT TO A SHILLING OF BOOS. J.R.: "Well this oughta cheer ya up King, women's action". Lawler: "You don't think this is serious do you J.R.? You think guys from another show should just be allowed to waltz in here as they please"! "INTERNATIONAL WOMAN" PLAYS, BRINGING GAIL KIM OUT TO A MINIMAL RESPONSE. J.R.: "No King, that's not what it is. But we both know what those two are here for and if you watched Main Event, you'd probably agree that they have every right to get some payback! Now can we call the damn match"?! JESSICA LOPEZ' MUSIC PLAYS AND SHE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Lawler: "Sure, why don't we just forget it, no big deal". J.R.: "We've got a fatal four way coming up here that will determine who will challenge for the Women's title at WrestleMania". ALEXIS LAREE COMES OUT TO HER MUSIC AND A LOT OF BOOS. Lawler: "Well you got four great competitors here J.R., a couple former champions in there, this is a tough one to call". J.R.: "Well you can bet Trish Stratus is keeping a close eye on this one because I think all four of these ladies pose a different threat to her title and the first one of them to earn a decision is gonna get that shot". Fatal Four Way/Number 1 Contender for Women's Title The bell sounded and the 4 women went at it, Gail Kim battling Alexis Laree while Lopez struggled with Miran. Referee Jack Doan had the distinction of trying to keep up with the action. He had trouble early as Gail hit a hurracanrana on Alexis and Lopez small packaged Miran. He made the count for Gail first and she got a long 2 count. Lopez had a 3 count but by the time Doan made the count, Miran kicked out. Miran then got up and plastered Lopez with a kick to the chest before tangling with the other two women. Gail and Alex combined to double suplex Alexis. But Gail then turned on Miran, sending her to the corner and following in. But in a scary moment, Miran backdropped Gail out of the ring and she landed head first on the ring steps. Gail was down on the floor and a couple EMT's ran down to check on her. In the ring, Lopez took Alexis down with a spinning heel kick before going to the top rope. She came off with a dragonrana on Miran but Alex wouldn't allow herself to be flipped over, putting Lopez down with a powerbomb to get the 1.........2........., but Alexis broke it up. Miran and Laree were then face to face, exchanging words. After a slap from Laree, Miran hit her with 3 forearm shivers before backing up and superkicking her out of the ring. Miran then taunted her a little and Lopez came from behind with a rollup to get the 1.........2........, but Alex was up. She then kicked Lopez in the back of the head to slow her down before putting her arms out, talking trash to the crowd. But Laree grabbed the chair the timekeeper was sitting in after forcing him out. She took the chair and smacked Miran right over the head with it, causing a loud smacking noise. Laree then got on the apron and shot herself in with a legdrop as Doan made it over to get the 1..........2..........3. Match Time: 6:50 Lawler: "She did it J.R., she's gonna get another shot"! J.R.: "Well in Joe Corey fashion, Alexis Laree has won this four way and will now get a rematch with Trish Stratus, who beat her at the Royal Rumble"! ALEXIS LAREE's MUSIC PLAYED AND SHE LEFT WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE. Lawler: "Well Trish I hope you saw that, she'd rearrange that Maybelline face of yours with a chair shot like that"! BACKSTAGE....... JOE COREY, CARLITO CARIBBEAN COOL AND CHRIS MASTERS ARE WATCHING WHAT JUST TRANSPIRED ON A MONITOR BACKSTAGE. Joe Corey: "Take a look at that boys..... now that's my girl". JUST THEN, MORDECAI AND VISCERA COME UP AND JUST STAND BEHIND THE 3. COREY FINALLY TURNS TO SEE THEM. Joe Corey: "Oh, uh, Chris, Carlito, can you guys excuse me for a minute". Carlito Cool: "Yeah... no problem man, that's cool". MASTERS AND CARLITO WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE THE ARENA. "IF I COULD BE LIKE MACK" HITS AND CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL COMES OUT WEARING A PAIR OF KNEE HIGH LEATHER BOOTS WITH RODNEY MACK BEHIND HER. Lawler: "It's the Michael Jordan of wrestling"! J.R.: "Well I gotta say King, if he can somehow get a win in this match, I might even call him that"! Lawler: "Rodney Mack is no pushover J.R., don't act like it's the biggest upset in TWF history if he does win this". "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT ALONG WITH TRISH STRATUS TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF CHEERS AS HIS PYRO POPS OFF ON THE SET. J.R.: "I'm not gonna disagree with that and I hope that Travis Wakeman hasn't overlooked Rodney Mack in preparation for WrestleMania where he will be involved in a TWF first.....a Buried Alive match". Lawler: "Well we all heard it J.R., he asked The Undertaker to meet him man to man tonight". J.R.: "Well we know The Undertaker is not one to back down from a challenge, but Wakeman has business with Rodney Mack first". Rodney Mack w/ Crystal Carmichael vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Trish Stratus The bell rang and Rodney Mack came out swinging. But Wakeman was prepared, blocking a right-left combination and firing back with a backhand chop. After a kick to the midsection, he sent Mack to the ropes but Mack grabbed him by the head and slammed him to the mat. Mack then locked in a side headlock, barking like a dog and reminding some of the man who trained him, JYD. Wakeman exerted a lot of energy but got back to his feet, trying to find a way out of the hold. He backed Mack to the ropes and tried to shoot him off but Mack clenched his grip tighter and rode Wakeman to the mat. But a determined Wakeman got out again and delivered a backdrop suplex. Mack still had a hold of him but a second backdrop suplex forced him to release it. Wakeman got up, pulling Mack with him, and delivered a side russian leg sweep. After a snap suplex, he tried to go for Mack's legs but Rodney got in a few rabbit punches to the head and then got up, delivering a belly to belly suplex. He picked Wakeman up, looking to deliver the "Mack Attack". But Wakeman saw it coming, getting in a big knee lift and then delivering a hard DDT. Crystal tried to get Wakeman's attention but Trish came and pulled her off the apron. Crystal smacked Trish across the face but Trish angrily dropped her with the Chick Kick. In the ring, Wakeman gave the thumbs down sign and the crowd knew what it meant. He lifted Mack up and delivered the devastating "Royal Flush" and hooked the leg for the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 5:44 J.R.: "Wakeman has put an emphatic end to this thing and what a shot by Trish"! Lawler: "What a shot? That was ridiculously uncalled for J.R."! WITH WAKEMAN AND TRISH INSIDE THE RING, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. J.R.: "Wait a minute". THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER AS THE GONG OF THE UNDERTAKER's BELL IS HEARD. THEN, SHOTS OF THE DEADMAN FLASH ACROSS THE ARENA. WAKEMAN CAN BE SEEN IN THE RING WITH TRISH, BOTH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT's GOING ON. Lawler: "He asked for this J.R. and it looks like he's got it"! JUST THEN, THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND WAKEMAN LEADS TRISH OUT OF THE RING, BUT WHAT HE DOESN'T REALIZE IS THAT THE UNDERTAKER IS BEHIND HIM IN THE RING. Lawler: "Turn around! Turn around"! TRISH TELLS WAKEMAN TO TURN AROUND AND WHEN HE DOES, HE FALLS TO THE MAT AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING. J.R.: "Whoa"! THE UNDERTAKER's MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND HE ROLLS HIS EYES TO LOOK MORE INTIMIDATING. Lawler: "Do you realize what we just saw J.R.?! I think Wakeman is scared of The Undertaker"! J.R.: "Well I don't know that I'd use that term King, but he was definitely startled"! Lawler: "I wonder how badly he's really gonna want this Buried Alive match J.R."! BACKSTAGE....... AS THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, STACY KIEBLER IS SHOWN WITH TODD GRISHAM. Todd Grisham: "Stacy, coming up in just a few moments, you will be in a nuetral corner when two men you know very well, John Cena and Austin Pyromania go at it. Two questions Stacy, do you feel you made the right call in judging their contest and who are you pulling for tonight"? Stacy Kiebler: "Well Todd, I can't change the decision I made now, I just hope the best man wins tonight". STACY WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT SHIFTS BACK INSIDE THE ARENA. "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT IN THE LAVISH SUIT HE WAS SEEN IN EARLIER. HE GETS MORE OF A CHEER THAN USUAL. Lawler: "Well I tell ya J.R., if it were me, I'd be doin' whatever it took to get Stacy over into my corner". J.R.: "That poor young lady has tried and tried to stay out of this and now she's squarely in the middle. But here we go, the challenger for the King of Cable title, arriving in style"! Lawler: "How much do you think a suit like that costs J.R."? J.R.: "Well considering it's custom made, I'd say a pretty penny. But Taylor Made is the only one who can wear an outfit like that and pull it off". "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK KICKS UP AND JOE COREY ENTERS THE ARENA TO A LOUD AMOUNT OF HEAT. Lawler: "Here we go J.R., the game's are gonna end now". J.R.: "I am impressed to see Joe Corey coming out here alone, that's certainly unlike him". Lawler: "He has a point to make tonight J.R., he's gonna prove to the world what most of us, the smart ones, already know"! J.R.: "Well he claims that Taylor Made has no chance. He claims that Taylor Made cannot defeat him and to this point in his career, he has been exactly right! But the stakes have never been this high! Is this Taylor gonna steal the show? That is the question these two are gonna answer"! Lawler: "And I'll answer it for ya in one word...... no"! J.R.: "Referee Jose Mendez assigned the only title match on the card tonight and there goes the bell"! TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger: Taylor Made vs. "The Show" Joe Corey The bell sounded and the two locked horns. Fans came to the edge of their seats as they knew they were about to witness something special. The champion Corey took control early, raking the face of Taylor and following it up with 2 straight right hands. He then shot him to the ropes and went for a clothesline but Taylor countered with a crucifix takeover to get a 1..........2........., but Corey was out, his eyes widening with surprise. But Taylor took advantage and drilled him with a jump kick to the face, followed by 2 stiff european uppercuts. Taylor pulled him in and delivered a float over suplex for another very near fall. Corey was able to reverse an irish whip and grab Taylor for a tilt-a-whirl slam, dropping him to the mat. He then measured him for a jumping knee drop, right on Taylor's forehead. Corey then drove the bone of his forearm into the bridge of Taylor's nose, causing obvious discomfort. Mendez got in and forced a break but Corey moved him out of the way and stomped at Taylor. Corey then whipped him to the ropes again but Taylor leapfrogged over him and took him down with a chop block. After an inverted atomic drop, he picked Corey up and delivered a shin breaker. That led to him going outside the ring and wrapping Corey's right leg around the steel ring post. The crowd came alive as Taylor called for the "Customizer", putting it on in the middle of the ring. Corey was in severe pain and even seemed to be thinking about tapping out. But he was able to roll to his stomach and do a push up, reversing the pain onto Taylor who escaped quickly. Both men were hobbled, but Corey was up first. He put boots into the chest of Taylor before lifting him up for a dose of knifedge chops. Corey flung him to the far corner and slowly walked in, grabbing him for a suplex but setting him on the top turnbuckle. But Taylor kicked him right in the face and jumped off, hitting a wicked tornado DDT. Both men were down for a few moments but Taylor rolled over, draping an arm over Corey's chest to get a long 2 and a half count. Fans felt a title switch coming as Taylor gave two quick kicks to the gut of Corey before bouncing off the ropes. But Corey sidestepped him and grabbed him in a sleeper hold. He swung Taylor around madly but the hold looked to be a choke. As Mendez moved in to check it, Taylor came up with a mule kick right to the groin of Corey before delivering a swinging neckbreaker. Taylor then went to the top rope and flew off, connecting with a big elbow drop. Corey was in a ton of trouble as Taylor covered him for the 1............2.............., but Corey was up. Taylor was literally right there but Corey got the shoulder up, showing why many feel he is the hardest superstar in the TWF to pin. Undaunted, Taylor stayed on the attack, shooting him to the corner. But when he followed in, Corey stuck a foot in his face and then pulled him in for the "Showstopper". But before hooking Taylor's left arm, the challenger slipped out and hit a version of the Stunner. Both men were down again but again, Taylor managed to climb atop the fallen champion for the 1............2.............., but no, again Corey was up. Taylor was pulling at his hair in frustration, wondering what it would take when Chris Masters ran out. But Taylor immediately went to the top rope, jumping on Masters with a cross body that took him out. "Holy shit" rang through the crowd but from the crowd came Carlito Cool and he tossed Corey what appeared to be brass knuckles. Corey went down to one knee as Carlito made his way back through the crowd. Taylor went to pick Corey up but caught a right hand to the throat. Corey then grabbed Taylor and dropped him with the "Showstopper", hooking the outside leg to corral the 3 count. Match Time: 13:47 J.R.: "Well I'll be damned! He's done it again"! Lawler: "He sure has J.R.! And Joe Corey is still our King of Cable champion"! COREY SNATCHED HIS BELT FROM THE TIMEKEEPER AND LEFT HOLDING IT UP TO A LOT OF BOOS. IT WAS EVIDENT COREY ESCAPED BUT HAD BEEN DEALT A TON OF PUNISHMENT BY THE LOOK IN HIS FACE. J.R.: "Yeah but it took three damn guys and a pair of brass knuckles to defeat Taylor! This is a damn shame folks"! BACKSTAGE....... FANS IN THE ARENA LOUDLY CHEER AT THE SIGHT OF JOHN CENA WHO IS SHOWN WEARING A ST.LOUIS CARDINALS JERSEY WITH OZZIE SMITH's NAME AND NUMBER ON IT. WHEN HE TURNS A CORNER, HE RUNS INTO DREW BLOOD. AFTER A MOMENTARY STARE DOWN, DREW BLOOD HANDS HIM A PIECE OF PAPER. John Cena: "And what the hell is this, Bram Stoker"? Drew Blood: "That..... is a contract I helped negotiate with Shane McMahon for you to go to PrimeTime. Take a look at it..... I'm sure you'll like the terms. DREW BLOOD STARTS TO WALK AWAY, BUT TURNS AROUND, TALKING TO CENA IN ALMOST A WHISPER. It's your only choice Cena...... you stay here.... it'll be the end of you". DREW BLOOD WALKS AWAY, LEAVING A BITTER TASTE IN CENA's MOUTH. J.R. AND THE KING ARE SHOWN AT THEIR BROADCAST POSITION. J.R.: "Can you believe the nerve of Drew Blood? That's the second time he's urged Cena to go to PrimeTime". Lawler: "And Cena will heed his warning if he knows what's good for him". JUST THEN, A WOMAN's SCREAM IS HEARD AND THE CROWD GETS VERY LOUD WHEN THEY SEE STRIFE AND BAHAMUT MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE RING WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL AS A HOSTAGE. J.R.: "Wait a minute, here come Strife and Bahamut and they've got Crystal Carmichael with them"! Lawler: "I told you these guys were up to no good J.R."! Bahamut: "Jamal..... Rosey..... you two can make this real simple! You want this slut back..... come get her"! Strife: "Not from behind.... you two come out here and face us like you've been telling everyone you want to do"! JUST THEN, "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND JAMAL AND ROSEY COME OUT. J.R.: "And here we go, it's Rampage versus PrimeTime"! BAHAMUT TOSSES CRYSTAL ASIDE AND THE FIGHT IS ON. AFTER AN EXCHANGE OF PUNCHES, BAHAMUT AND STRIFE TOOK CONTROL AND BAHAMUT BOOTED JAMAL RIGHT IN THE FACE BEFORE HITTING "WHAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF" ON HIM. STRIFE THEN MUSCLED THE NEAR 400 POUND ROSEY UP AND DELIVERED THE "WRONG DESTINATION" TO A THUNDEROUS CHEER FROM THE CROWD. "BOMBSHELL" BY POWERMAN 5000 HIT AS JAMAL AND ROSEY GOT TO THEIR FEET ON THE FLOOR. ROSEY THEN GRABBED CRYSTAL. J.R.: "The situation between these two teams is about to explode King! They wanna find out who the better team is"! Lawler: "Jamal and Rosey had their number until tonight! Strife and Bahamut accomplished what they set out to do"! J.R.: "Yeah but I doubt they'll be satisfied until a match between the two teams is sanctioned so we can all find out who's better"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW A SCENE IN WHICH WITH SHAWN MICHAELS AND MARK JINDRAK AT HIS SIDE, GARRISON CADE IS BEING LOADED INTO AN AMBULANCE BY EMT's. Mark Jindrak: "It'll be cool Cade, you'll be alright". J.R.: "What the hell is this"? Shawn Michaels: "Hang in there Garrison". THE DOORS SHUT AND THE AMBULANCE PULLS OUT OF THE ARENA WITH IT's SIRENS BLARING. Michaels: "Now what"? Jindrak: "I don't know, we gotta find out who did this". IN THE ARENA, "LEGS" BY KID ROCK PLAYS AND STACY KIEBLER COMES OUT TO A POSITIVE RESPONSE, MOSTLY FROM THE MALE FANS. Lawler: "Oh there she is J.R., look at her"! J.R.: "Well I'm a little concerned about what we just saw with Garrison Cade King, someone is obviously behind that". "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2 PAC HITS AND A WALL OF FLAMES RISES ON THE RAMP, LEAVING A SMALL OPENING FOR AUSTIN PYROMANIA TO WALK THROUGH. PYROMANIA DOESN'T SEEM BOTHERED BY THE FANS' BOOS, ONLY LOWERING HIS SHADES TO GIVE A LOOK AT STACY. Lawler: "Boy if looks could kill J.R.". J.R.: "I don't envy the position Stacy is in here King, she doesn't need to be out here". THE BOOS QUICKLY CHANGE TO INSANE CHEERS AS "BASIC THUGANOMICS" COMES ON AND JOHN CENA WALKS OUT, STILL IN THE OZZIE SMITH JERSEY. Lawler: "It's a stipulation in this match J.R., so yes, she does have to be out here"! J.R.: "He won the Royal Rumble a month ago and is the number one contender heading into WrestleMania, but he's gotta stay focused on a man he used to call his friend here". Lawler: "Pyronomics is officially no more J.R., this match is underway"! Austin Pyromania vs. John Cena *Stacy Kiebler in nuetral corner Cena got into the ring and tackled Pyromania, swinging wildly at his head as he tried to cover up. Referee Chad Patton pulled Cena off and Pyromania remained balled up on the mat for several seconds, drawing boos from the crowd. Cena moved in to pull him up but Pyro almost stole it with a small package and then pointed to his head as if to point out his "smart" move. The two locked up again and Cena crouched down, hitting Pyro with a couple swinging right hands to the stomach. He then whipped him to the ropes and lifted him way up with a backbody drop. That led to the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and Cena made the cover to get a 2 count. Pyromania seemed dazed but had the wherewithall to stick a big knee into Cena's head as he charged in and then he dropped him with a clothesline. Using the ropes for extra leverage, Pyro drove the base of his boot into the throat of Cena, nearly getting a 5 count from Patton. Pyro then lifted Cena up onto the top ring rope and brought him down with a DDT. He then got up, making his way towards Stacy but she just backed away, seeming afraid. Cena got to his feet, holding the top of his head but Pyromania turned and booted him in the stomach and followed it up with a vertical suplex. Becoming very slow in his attack, Pyromania went to the top rope and came off with a twisting corksrew, landing in a splash on Cena. The fans let out a collective gasp after seeing the move and Patton made the count but Cena was up at 2 3/4. The fans started to get behind him and after being pulled up, Cena was whipped to the ropes but he ducked a clothesline and drilled Pyro with a flying shoulder tackle. He then hit the ropes again but this time, Stacy came around from the corner and grabbed his foot! Cena turned and seemed shocked at what he saw. Pyromania came from behind with a knee to the back and rib cage but Cena reversed a whip right into lifting Pyro onto his shoulders. Cena had a very serious look in his eyes as he delivered the "F-U", hooking the leg to get the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 6:52 CENA GOT UP AND IMMEDIATELY POINTED AT STACY, WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK INNOCENT. BUT FROM BEHIND CAME PYROMANIA, HOLDING THE RING BELL AND HE SMASHED CENA FROM BEHIND. A HUGE SMILE CRACKED ON STACY's FACE AS HE WATCHED PYROMANIA PROCEED TO TAKE HIS ATTACK FURTHER ON HIS FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER. J.R.: "I don't believe what I'm seeing here"! Lawler: "Stacy has made her choice J.R.! And I think it's the right one"! J.R.: "Well these fans don't and they're letting her know it! Stop this"! THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER AS EDDIE GUERRERO RUNS TO THE RING, CARRYING A STEAL CHAIR. BUT PYRO AND STACY ESCAPE THE RING AND THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. Lawler: "What the heck is he doing out here"?! J.R.: "Well thank God for Eddie Guerrero but Cena is hurt here folks! Damn it Stacy"! Lawler: "Cena might have extra incentive to go to PrimeTime"! BACKSTAGE...... TODD GRISHAM IS WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON. Todd Grisham: "Stephanie, we all just saw Garrison Cade taken to a local medical facility. How will this affect the six man tag team match coming up next"? Stephanie McMahon: "Unfortunately Todd, I can't name a replacement on such short notice. So the match will still take place, only it'll now be a handicap match". THE EERIE TUNE OF THE DEADPOOL PLAYS AND THEY COME OUT WITH MORDECAI AND VISCERA ESCORTING THE WORLD CHAMP TO THE RING. J.R.: "And whoever attacked Cade knew that King! They got exactly what they wanted here! Maybe it was that lunatic Pyromania"! Lawler: "Well whether they got what they wanted or not, this team has a tremendous advantage tonight J.R."! "SEXY BOY" HITS AND THE CROWD GOES COMPLETELY WILD AS SHAWN MICHAELS AND MARK JINDRAK COME OUT, SHOWING NO FEAR. J.R.: "They might be at a disadvantage, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by the looks on these guys' faces"! MICHAELS AND JINDRAK GOT INTO THE RING AND WENT RIGHT AT THE DEADPOOL AS THE BELL RANG TO START THE MATCH. Handicap Match The DeadPool vs. Shawn Michaels and Mark Jindrak Earl Hebner did everything in his power to get the match under control and it was Shawn Michaels trying to make up for the man disadvantage, taking it to Viscera. Vis missed with a squash in the corner and Michaels hit the ropes, blasting him with a flying forearm. A second knocked Viscera into the ring ropes and he got tied up as HBK tagged in Jindrak. Jindrak hit Vis with a couple of left hands while he was tied up but Mordecai came into the ring and clotheslined Jindrak from behind. Viscera then got free and then used his weight advantage, just walking over the body of Jindrak. He tagged in Mordecai who came in and slowed Jindrak down, basically with a few blatant chokes. Finally, Michaels had seen enough and he came into the ring, taking on the pale rider. Viscera tried to come in but Michaels smashed him with the "Sweet Chin Music". But Mordecai grabbed Michaels and threw him over the top rope before making the tag to Drew Blood. Drew Blood came in and stalked Jindrak, waiting for him to turn and when he did, he delivered the "Blood Bath", hooking the leg for the 3 count and the victory. Match Time: 3:47 J.R.: "Mercifully that is over"! Lawler: "You got that right J.R. and once again, The DeadPool stands tall"! DREW BLOOD GRABBED HIS WORLD TITLE AND WALKED UP THE RAMP, WAY AHEAD OF HIS MEN AS THE DEADPOOL's MUSIC PLAYED. J.R.: "It might take two men, it might take a group of men. I don't think one man can stop this maniacal trio! We hope you've enjoyed Code Red fans.... good night"!
