Attendance: 14,927
AS UPRISING COMES ON THE AIR ON USA, "LIVE FOR THE MOMENT" IS PLAYING AND MATT HARDY IS WITH JOHNNY JETER ON A PLATFORM OUTSIDE THE ROSE GARDEN, WHICH IS CROWDED BY RABID FANS. BOTH MEN ARE WEARING SLEEVELESS MATTITUDE T-SHIRTS. Matt Hardy: "Welcome to TWF Uprising and we are your hosts, ready to bring you the huge event Evil Intentions tonight, which I am not a part of but that's a different story for a different day. Anyway, more important than the event in my opinion is going to be what we are about to do. Are you guys ready for this?! THE CROWD CHEERS IN UNISON. Fasten your seat belts folks, because we are about to conduct our very first search for the biggest M'fer! So Johnny, you wanna go pick a few of these people out to come up here and talk with Version One? JETER GOES INTO THE CROWD, LOOKING FOR FINALISTS. HE PULLS 3 YOUNG MALES TO THE PLATFORM. Okay guys, the first requirement is you can't be from here in Portland. We all know that the biggest M'fer can't be inbred! ONE OF THE GUYS GOES BACK TO THE CROWD. Okay, let's take the Carney lookalike first. A KID WITH BRIGHT RED, DYED HAIR AND MANY FACIAL PIERCINGS STEPS FORWARD. What's your name kid and where are you from"? Fan: "Uh, my name is Marshall and I'm from Tacoma, Washington"! MOST OF THE CROWD BOOS. Matt: "Okay, what makes you the biggest M'fer"? Marshall: "Well, I've been a Hardy Boyz fan since you and Jeff first came to the TWF". Matt: "Wait a minute, do you see my brother up here? If he knew anything about Mattitude, he'd be here right now. How many girlfriends have you had man"? Marshall: "Technically"? Matt: "Okay, well just because you haven't had a girlfriend won't get you disqualified because Johnny here hasn't had one either. The question is, would you be willing to hand out Mattitude adjustments on a nightly basis"? Marshall: "I really just want to be a wrestler dude. If that means I gotta be an "M'fer", (makes quotation marks with his fingers) then that's what I'll do". Matt: "Listen punk.... step off before I rearrange that ugly face. Who's next? MARSHALL LEAVES THE PLATFORM AS THE FINAL CONTESTANT STEPS UP. Wait a minute, is that..... that is. Dude, no M'fer is gonna be in public, on national television wearing a John Cena shirt. Get him outta here Johnny"! JETER ADVISES THE FAN TO LEAVE THE PLATFORM, WHICH HE DOES AS A MAN IN A SUIT COMES UP AND WHISPERS SOMETHING TO MATT. Matt: "What? Oh, I see how it is. Well apparently the glory hogs Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler have taken their seats and they're ready to call tonight's action". THE SHOT GOES INSIDE THE ROSE GARDEN WHICH IS SLOWLY FILLING UP. Jerry Lawler: "Glory hogs"? Jim Ross: "Has Matt Hardy lost his mind, my gosh. Anyway folks, if you have not done so already, do yourself a favor and order TWF Evil Intentions now. The only way you can get it is by contacting your local cable or satellite provider! Don't miss out on this huge event"! A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE UPRISING LOGO IS DISPLAYED. SAM WILDE, HOLDING A COPY OF THE HOLY BIBLE IS ON ONE SIDE WHILE ON THE OTHER IS MATT MORGAN AND TEDDY LONG. Jerry Lawler: "And when we come back J.R., right here on Uprising we're gonna warm these fans up for the pay-per-view when Sam Wilde tries to climb the mountain that is Matt Morgan"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR STARBURST IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A HARD SELL PROMO FOR EVIL INTENTIONS, PREVIEWING TRAVIS WAKEMAN VERSUS BRADSHAW AND KURT ANGLE VERSUS JOHN CENA. RETURN FROM BREAK...... RINGSIDE..... MATT MORGAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH A DANCING TEDDY LONG. J.R.: "We're back here on Uprising fans and we are less than ten minutes away from Evil Intentions"! Lawler: "Look at the size of Matt Morgan J.R., I wouldn't want to be in the right with this guy". SAM WILDE's MUSIC BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS CHOIR IS HEARD AS HE COMES OUT TO A MODERATE RESPONSE. J.R.: "Morgan has had to recover from the loss he suffered at WrestleMania which seemed to kill the roll he was on but Teddy Long has him poised to get on another one". Lawler: "Well at almost seven feet tall and easily over three hundred pounds, this guy is a major force on Rampage". J.R.: "He calls himself the mountain and Sam Wilde is gonna try and move that mountain tonight"! Lawler: "Then he might want to open up that book he brough out, it might be his only hope"! Matt Morgan w/ Teddy Long vs. Sam Wilde Wilde was decidedly faster than Morgan and he used that to his advantage, working circles around the big man. But when he went for the "Testament to Wilde", he couldn't get him up and Morgan came back with a full nelson slam. That led to the "Avalanche" Powerbomb and Long started celebrating before the 3 count was even registered. Match Time: 7:23 J.R.: "Wow. That's about the only word you can use to describe that sit down powerbomb"! Lawler: "You can give Wilde credit for the hard fought effort, but it was a foregone conclusion if you ask me"! J.R.: "Well folks we are just moments away! We hope to see you for Evil Intentions"! THE LEGAL DISCLAIMER WARNING VIEWERS OF COPYRIGHT LAWS IS DISPLAYED FOLLOWED BY THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT LOGO. "OUT OF EXILE" BY AUDIOSLAVE STARTS TO PLAY AS THE EYES AND THE EYES ALONE OF SOME OF TONIGHT's COMPETITORS ARE SHOWN. Voiceover: "Tonight, these great superstars embark on personal missions, crusades and the fulfillment of expectations. The pathes they have traveled are very different, but their eyes tell the story. Each man not only wants to conquer not only whatever stands in his way, but wants to achieve and individual, personal goal as well. THE EYES OF MORDECAI ARE SHOWN. They want others to see what they see. THE EYES OF MONEY MIKE...... They want to show those who are unaware of their abilities, what they are capable of. THE EYES OF REY MYSTERIO, PEERING THROUGH HIS MASK. They want to show they belong. THE EYES OF BRADSHAW..... Some of these men seek oppurtunity, THE EYES OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN...... while others seek revenge. THE EYES OF JOE COREY ARE SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THOSE OF KURT ANGLE AND JOHN CENA. THOSE THREE MEN ARE THEN SHOWN IN QUICK, INDIVIDUAL HIGHLIGHT CLIPS. Who has it in them to realize their goals and to what extent will they go to achieve them? ONE BY ONE, THE FACES OF ALL OF TONIGHT's COMPETITORS ARE SHOWN. Look into the eyes". A SKYCAM VIEW IS SHOWN CIRCLING AROUND ROSE GARDEN WHICH IS NEARLY FULL OF SCREAMING TWF FANS. "And now...... Starburst fruit chews and TWF Entertainment present........ Jim Ross: "It is the fifth ever Evil Intentions and we thank you for joining us on what should be an extraordinary night with the superstars of Rampage"! Jerry Lawler: "These fans have been bangin' at the doors all day J.R., they are ready"! THE MUSIC OF MARK JINDRAK AND GARRISON CADE HITS AND THE YOUNG DUO COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION. J.R.: "And we're kicking things off with one of four title matches as you see the number one contenders, Cade and Jindrak, making their way to the ring". Lawler: "One of the few tag teams on Rampage that haven't been beaten by Jamal and Rosey J.R. and a lot of people feel they have a shot tonight"! J.R.: "They form a potent combination King. You've got the sheer athleticism of Jindrak and skills of Cade that remind me very much of Barry Windham". "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND JAMAL AND ROSEY COME OUT WITH THE STUNNING CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL TO A LOT OF BOOS. CRYSTAL IS HOLDING BOTH TAG TEAM BELTS AND SHOWING THEM OFF TO THE CROWD. Lawler: "I wouldn't put too much money against these two though, they have been as dominant as any team we've ever seen here". J.R.: "Crystal Carmichael has helped transformed this big Samoan tandem into one of the more dominant tag teams we've ever seen in the TWF but I see Jindrak and Cade giving them some serious matchup problems because of two reasons, height and athletic ability". Lawler: "Well don't underestimate Jamal and Rosey's athletic ability. They both may be tipping the scales at nearly four hundred pounds, but they wouldn't be the champions if they couldn't keep up with these smaller, more agile teams J.R."! Rampage Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade vs. Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael After the bell rang, Jindrak quickly found himself on the mat after being thrown to it by Jamal from a collar and elbow tie. But Jamal missed with a legdrop and Jindrak got back up, knocking him upside the head with his southpaw punches. But Jamal reversed an irish whip and twisted Jindrak around with a clothesline. Rosey tagged into the match and he and Jamal caught Jindrak with a double hip toss slam followed by a double elbow drop. Referee Charles Robinson got Jamal out of the ring as Rosey nailed Cade with a cheap shot. Jindrak got up with a shot that rocked Rosey back and then he delivered a big dropkick. Cade tagged into the match and hit the ropes but Crystal grabbed his foot. Cade reached over the ropes with both hands and grabbed her by the hair, bringing her up onto the apron. But Rosey came from behind with a backdrop suplex before hitting the ropes and delivering a spinning legdrop. He went for the cover but could only get a 2 count. Then, off an irish whip, Cade ducked a clothesline and caught Rosey with a stiff shot to the face, knocking him to the mat. Both men went for their corners, looking to make the tag. Rosey brought in Jamal who went and grabbed Cade's foot. But Cade countered with an enziguri and that allowed him to tag in Jindrak. Jindrak came in like a house of fire, knocking Jamal to the mat with his dropkick. He then shot him to the corner and Cade came in, whipping Jindrak into Jamal with a heavy clothesline. They then set him up for Jindrak to dropkick him out of Cade's arms but Rosey came in with a shot to the back of Jindrak and then he and Jamal caught Cade with a double superkick. Jamal then officially tagged Rosey into the match and he slammed onto Jindrak with a big splash. But just before he could get the 3 count, Cade made the save. Cade then took shots at each man and Jindrak got up, looking to bounce off the ropes but Crystal lowbridged them behind Robinson's back and Jindrak went sprawling to the floor. Rosey went outside the ring and slammed him onto the Spanish announce table. Then, in one of the most unbelievable moments in TWF history, Jamal, the illegal man in the match, went to the top rope and flew off with the Air Samoa Splash, slamming through Jindrak and the table! "HOLY SHIT" chants were heard for the next minute and a half as Robinson administered his 10 count. Cade came over to try and help but Rosey nailed him with a clothesline before rolling into the ring to beat the 10 count, something Jindrak didn't even come close to doing and that was it. Match Time: 7:08 AS "3 MINUTES" PLAYED, CRYSTAL GRABBED THE TITLES AND HANDED THEM TO JAMAL AND ROSEY. J.R.: "I don't even know how to describe what we just saw fans, I can only hope that Mark Jindrak is okay". Lawler: "Yeah J.R., I mean, that was four hundred pounds flying through the air and landing on him, he's gotta have some serious damage somewhere". J.R.: "In any event, Jamal and Rosey are still the tag team champions as the result of a count out". THE CAMERA GOT A SHOT OF CADE CHECKING ON HIS PARTNERS WITH AN EMT AS THE SHOT WENT BACKSTAGE. BACKSTAGE AREA..... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW DEREK DARKO DOING SOME SHADOWBOXING WHILE CARLITO CIRCLES HIM. Carlito Cool: "You know you're next right"? Derek Darko: "Yeah". Carlito: "Go out there and take it to that champ Eddie Guerrero. This is your chance to prove that you're not just some.... some thug". Darko: "Yeah, that'd be cool". SURROUNDED BY SEVERAL LIT CANDLES, MORDECAI APPEARS IN HIS HOODED ROBE, HIS SYMBOLIC STAFF IN PLAIN VIEW AS HIS VOICE IS HEARD. Mordecai: "Tonight, the crusade continues. And it is you Viscera, you who will be condemned for your sins. It is you whose blood will be spilled! For after our match tonight, you will know my name, you will remember the pale rider for the rest of your existence! Hear me..... fear me"! "PUKE" BY EMINEM HITS AND DEREK DARKO COMES OUT IN A #20 BARRY SANDERS DETROIT LIONS JERSEY. Lawler: "Mordecai and his one man crusade, what an odd fellow he is". J.R.: "That's the understatement of the year. But that's not a comment we can make about this young superstar, at least not yet because this will be his first official match in the TWF". Lawler: "Well Carlito said it, this is a chance to prove he's not just some thug". "VIVA LA RAZA" IS HEARD AND THAT LEADS INTO EDDIE GUERRERO's THEME SONG WHICH IS FOLLOWED BY A HUGE ROAR. J.R.: "So far we've only see him play the bodyguard role to Carlito but after getting involved physically in a couple of Eddie Guerrero's matches, Latino Heat struck back last week"! Lawler: "Yeah, dressing up as a janitor and attacking him in a bathroom"! J.R.: "Oh look out, here comes Eddie from behind"! GUERRERO ENTERED THE RING FROM BEHIND AND ATTACKED DARKO AS REFEREE JACK DOAN CALLED FOR THE BELL TO START THE MATCH. Derek Darko vs. Eddie Guerrero Eddie was all over Darko after the sneak attack, pulling his authentic jersey over his head and firing away with some haymakers. After ripping the jersey clean off and throwing it into the crowd, Guerrero dropkicked Darko in the right knee and hit the ropes for a big clothesline. The crowd responded with a big cheer as he went into his little dance. Eddie then went for his 3 amigos suplexes but after the first one, Darko blocked and countered with a knee to the side followed by a back elbow to the face. After a side backbreaker, he shot Guerrero to the corner with such velocity that Guerrero fell face first to the mat. Darko then loaded up his foot and kicked Guerrero right in the face, making the cover for the 1.....2......., but that was all he could get. "Eddie" chants echoed through the crowd as Darko continued to pour it on. After delivering the snake eyes, Darko bounced off the ropes and connected with a flying clothesline before mocking Eddie's dance, drawing himself a lot of boos. He then lifted Eddie to the top turnbuckle and climbed up, looking for a superplex. But Eddie shoved him off and tried to surprise him by immediately coming off with the Frog Splash but Darko got his knees up. Darko then grabbed Eddie and swung him in a complete circle before whipping him to the corner. He followed in with a clothesline but when Eddie ducked, he nailed Doan with it. Eddie then rolled to the floor under the bottom rope and grabbed a steel chair. He hit the mat with the chair and then inexplicably fell to the mat. Doan got up and saw Darko standing with Eddie on the mat, the chair right next to him. Doan thought Darko had used it but Darko desperately claimed his innocence. Eddie then got up and grabbed the chair, only to have Doan try to grab it from him. During the struggle, the same janitor from last Rampage appeared and he took the handle of his push broom and jammed it into the throat of Darko's esophagus! Guerrero let Doan win the struggle to get the chair and then rolled Darko up, using all his weight to stack him up and get the 1.........2.........3. Match Time: 10:58 Lawler: "What the heck is going on?! Who is that janitor"! EDDIE's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE CELEBRATED WITH THE FANS BUT THE JANITOR WAS NOWHERE IN SIGHT. J.R.: "Well whether you agree with it or not, Eddie Guerrero always finds a way to win and tonight, he's outdone Darko". Lawler: "Well if I was Darko I'd march right into Stephanie McMahon's office and appeal this decision! Then I'd make her get to the bottom of this situation of some freak dressing up like a janitor and interfering in other people's business"! BACKSTAGE...... STEPHANIE McMAHON IS SHOWN BACKSTAGE, WATCHING BRADSHAW ENTER THE ARENA WITH HIS PERSONAL SECURITY. J.R.: "There's Stephanie right now". Lawler: "And there's Bradshaw, boy does he have a big match tonight". STEPHANIE STEPS IN BRADSHAW's WAY. Bradshaw: "Can I help you with something"? Stephanie McMahon: "I just wanted you to personally see me do this, because your restraining order against Travis Wakeman....... SHE PULLS OUT THE RESTRAINING ORDER AND RIPS IT IN HALF. is null and void". Bradshaw: (laughs) "That's fine, because I've got Wakeman right where I want him. (He looks at each one of his security officers) I can just about gaurantee a victory tonight". LED BY HIS SECURITY, BRADSHAW WALKS PAST STEPHANIE WHO IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IMPRESSED. "YOU DON'T KNOW ME" BY LILIAN GARCIA HITS AND MYSTICAL COMES OUT IN AN AMERICAN FLAG STRIPED OUTFIT. Lawler: "Did you hear that? Bradshaw basically gauranteed a victory tonight J.R."! J.R.: "He feels pretty confident with all that muscle around him. "TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL" BY LIL' KIM PLAYS AND TRISH STRATUS COMES OUT, THRUSTING THE WOMEN's TITLE INTO THE AIR IN HER RIGHT HAND. SHE IS MET BY A GOOD CHEER. And speaking of Bradshaw, he is the reason doctors would not list Trish as being one hundred percent tonight King. That Clothesline from Hell had quite an effect and she still hasn't fully recovered yet"! Lawler: "But that's what kind of competitor Trish is though because even hurting, she's still out here to defend the title". J.R.: "I don't know how wise a move that's gonna be though because from what we've seen from Mystical so far has been nothing but impressive". TWF Women's Title Match Challenger: Mystical vs. Trish Stratus Trish offered a handshake but a focused Mystical just shook her head no and then grabbed the champion, whipping her to the mat with back to back arm drags. She then picked her up and whipped her hard into the corner. Trish immediately grabbed the back of her neck and seeing this, Mystical locked in a reverse chin lock, driving a knee into her back. Trish was able to reach out to grab the bottom rope to break the hold but she was in an early hole. Over the next few minutes, Trish looked for a way to mount a comeback against a very aggressive challenger. Finally, Mystical made the mistake Trish needed when she went for a hurracanrana but Trish countered with a powerbomb and stacked her up for the 1........2........, but Mystical was up. Trish shot her to the ropes and went for a hip toss but Mystical blocked it and countered into a backslide for a very near fall. Both women got 2 more near falls but none closer than when Trish used a victory roll to get 2 and 7/8. After smashing Mystical with the Chick Kick, Trish was getting into her stride, sending Mystical to the corner. She lifted Mystical up onto the top turnbuckle and then backed up, looking for the Stratussphere. But Mystical grabbed her legs and threw her to the mat before hitting a swinging neckbreaker that put Trish into a lot of pain. From there, Mystical lifted Trish up for her devastating finisher which she has renamed the "Vaporizer" and that led to a shocking 3 count. Match Time: 8:33 Lawler: "Oh my gosh, she has done it J.R."! J.R.: "She certainly has! We have a new Women's champion"! "YOU DON'T KNOW ME" PLAYED AS MYSTICAL WAS HANDED THE WOMEN's TITLE AND TRISH COULD ONLY LOOK ON WITH A HAND ON THE BACK OF HER NECK. Lawler: "I knew Trish shouldn't have taken this match". J.R.: "Well Trish was not at one hundred percent and let's hope she didn't do any more damage to her neck but let's not take anything away from Mystical. She clearly won the match and she's gonna make a great champion". BACKSTAGE AREA....... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW MONEY MIKE SURVEYING THE ITEMS AT ONE OF THE MERCHANDISE COUNTERS. Clerk: "Can I help you"? Money Mike: "Yeah, can you tell me where the Money Mike shirt is"? Clerk: "Oh, we actually don't have one of those. But we do have this, it's been the top seller tonight". THE CLERK HANDS HIM A REY MYSTERIO MASK. MIKE TAKES IT AND JUST THROWS IT IN A NEARBY TRASH CAN. Money Mike: "That's where that thing belongs". IN ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, MAX OGDEN AND CHRIS MASTERS ARE SHOWN AT THE FOOT OF ROB STORM's DRESSING ROOM DOOR. Chris Masters: "You ready"? Max Ogden: "One..... two...... JUST THEN, STEPHANIE McMAHON COMES UP. Stephanie McMahon: "Hey! Stop right there. You guys aren't even gonna try it. In fact, since neither of you has a match tonight, I think you should just leave the arena. OGDEN AND MASTERS JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Now"! BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, VISCERA's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE BUT THERE ARE SOME SURPRISING CHEERS LOUDLY HEARD. Lawler: "Boy Stephanie's sure throwing her weight around tonight"! Lawler: "Well as we move on to our next match, I know Viscera has displayed a much different, fun loving personality over the last couple weeks but this is a very serious situation". MORDECAI's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH BOTH HANDS ON HIS STAFF. AFTER HAMMERING IT AGAINST THE GROUND, FLAMES PUFF OUT NEAR HIM. Lawler: "Well Viscera's the number one sinner in the pale rider's eyes"! J.R.: "I don't think Dr. Phil could even figure this guy out. And ya know wherever he is, Drew Blood's gotta be watching this match". Lawler: "What do you mean whereever he is? He's rehabbing that injury of course"! Mordecai vs. Viscera No strategy, no technical wrestling here. This was about two big bulls who have grown a serious hate for one another. Viscera took a beating in the early going but Mordecai could not get him off his feet. He tried to bodyslam the big guy but didn't even come close to getting him up. After clubbing the pale rider across the back, Vis smashed him with 2 open handed slaps to the chest. Viscera then whipped him to the corner and slammed into him with an avalanche. After Mordecai fell to the mat, Vis jumped onto him with the organ busting splash for the 1........2........., but Mordecai got his left shoulder off the mat! Viscera pulled him up and shot him to the ropes but he ducked his head down too early and Mordecai kicked him in the chest and then hit a chicken wing jawbreaker. It looked to be all over but Viscera kicked out at 2. Mordecai got a glance of his staff and looked like he was gonna make a move for it. But Viscera rose up with a ticked off look on his face and he slapped on a cobra clutch. From there, he picked Mordecai up and slammed him to the mat, falling on him and using his gerth to suffocate him. Mordecai was not moving and referee Chad Patton didn't know what to do other than call for the bell when Mordecai's lifeless arm fell to the mat. Match Time: 9:54 J.R.: "Well so much for the one man crusade! Viscera and his five hundred pounds have just squashed it"! Lawler: "But you brought up a good point with Drew Blood earlier J.R., what's he think of this"? AS VISCERA LEFT, MORDECAI SAT UP IN THE RING WITH A DEMENTED LOOK ON HIS FACE DIRECTED AT HIM. J.R.: "Oh my.... if looks could kill". Lawler: "Look at that look on Mordecai's face! I have a feeling Viscera hasn't finished him off yet"! BACKSTAGE...... TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING WITH REY MYSTERIO. Todd Grisham: "Rey, in just a few minutes, you are gonna face Money Mike, a man who has done everything he said he would since coming to the TWF". Rey Mysterio: "Ya know, Money Mike wants to throw away one of my masks, that's fine. Because tonight, I'm gonna show him something, 6-1-9 style and all these people in Portland will see that he's nothing but a cocky, arrogant dude who runs his mouth a lot". "LET's GO" BY TRICK DADDY HITS AND BOOS IMMEDIATELY STARTAS MONEY MIKE COMES OUT. HALFWAY DOWN THE AISLE, A FAN IN A REY MYSTERIO MASK LEANS OVER THE BARRICADE AND GETS IN MIKE's FACE. HE ACTS LIKE HE's GONNA THROW A PUNCH AND THE FAN JERKS BACK AS MIKE JUST LAUGHS. J.R.: "You are looking at one of the most cocky, arrogant superstars to ever step foot at a TWF event and King, I still can't believe this guy is even in the TWF"! Lawler: "No one can J.R., it's still a shock. But since he's gotten here, he's done everything he's said he was going to do"! "619" HITS AND REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE RAMP THROUGH AN OPENING AND RECEIVES ONE OF THE LOUDEST CHEERS OF THE NIGHT. HE COMES OUT IN A PURPLE AND BLACK COSTUME AND ON THE BACK OF HIS PANTS IS THE FACE OF MONEY MIKE WITH A BIG BLACK "X" THROUGH IT. J.R.: "Well here's a man who has beaten the odds his entire career! Rey Mysterio may be the smallest man on the Rampage roster, but his heart may be the biggest"! Lawler: "Well I know there may be some diehard TWF fans out there who won't like me saying this, but if Money Mike is to win this match, then people are going to have to start to recognize the legacy he has created for himself in this business"! J.R.: "Even though I'm not a Money Mike fan and probably never will be, he's not stupid by any stretch. So I assume he knows what he's in for here and defeating Mysterio will not be easy"!Money Mike vs. Rey Mysterio There was a major contrast of styles here but Rey was able to get Money Mike into exactly the kind of match he didn't want. Rey grabbed a charging Money Mike by the arm and threw him right into the ring ropes. But Mike knew the 6-1-9 was coming and rolled out of the ring. But Rey instead flew over the top rope with a flying plancha to take him out. Rey then waited for him to get up but Mike reversed an irish whip and slammed Rey right into the steel ring steps. After putting Rey back into the ring, Mike tried to slow the match down by putting the boots to him. He then picked up the smaller Mysterio and locked in a bear hug, pulling his right arm up to squeeze around the rib cage. Rey was having a hard time breathing but it was Mike who broke the hold, punching him twice in the ribs before delivering a side backbreaker across his knee. Mike then taunted the crowd before grabbing Rey by the mask and pulling him up. Mike then pulled Rey up and measured him for a right hand that knocked him to the mat again. Mike tried to repeat that process but Rey was still in it, blocking the right hand and coming back with a kick to the stomach. Money Mike tried to fire back with a clothesline but Rey ducked and ran to the ring ropes, jumping off them with a reverse cross body block that got him a long 2 count. Rey knew this was his oppurtunity and after catching Mike with the wheel barrow bulldog, he went to the apron and jumped to the top ring rope, flying off with the seated senton to get the 1........2........, but Mike got a shoulder up. After hitting a basement dropkick, Rey went to the middle ring rope and jumped off but was caught and slammed to the mat with a spinebuster. Mike went for a cover but only got a 2 count. Mike pulled him up and went for an irish whip but Rey reversed it and went for a leapfrog but Mike caught him on his shoulders. Rey however was able to counter into a victory roll and got another very, very near fall. Mike was very aggravated and he charged Rey, only to fall into a drop toehold. With Mike draped over the middle ring rope, Rey cupped his hands and yelled "6-1-9". But when he went for it, Mike ducked and got up, grabbed Rey and planting him right after he turned around with the "Money Pit". Mike rolled onto him and hooked the leg deep for the 1........2........3. Match Time: 7:06 Lawler: "Oh! It's the Money Pit J.R.! This thing is all over"! J.R.: "It is the dreaded Money Pit and it has done the master of the 6-1-9 in tonight and folks, that was one hell of a match"! "LET's GO" PLAYED AGAIN AS MONEY MIKE LEFT TO THE BOOS OF THE FANS WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Lawler: "Start realizing this man's legacy J.R., it's only gonna get bigger"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW MAX OGDEN AND CHRIS MASTERS BEING ESCORTED OUT OF THE ARENA BY ARENA SECURITY. STEPHANIE IS TRAILING TO MAKE SURE THEY LEAVE. JOE COREY COMES UP FROM BEHIND. Joe Corey: "What the hell is this?! Hey, they're with me"! STEPHANIE TURNS AROUND. Stephanie: "They were, until I asked them to leave. Ya see Joe, tonight is gonna be different than all of your other title defenses. Because for once, I want to see you defend your title without someone helping you to do it. Good luck". Joe Corey: "Chris, Max, I'll catch up to you guys later. And Stephanie, you watch real close because I don't need anyone's help! Those other three punks are gonna find out what showtime is all about"! COREY TURNS AND WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE THE ARENA. THE MOO OF A COW IS HEARD AND THAT LEADS INTO THE MUSIC OF BRADSHAW. OUT FIRST ARE 5 UNIFORMED SECURITY GUARDS AND BRADSHAW FOLLOWS WITH A WHITE TOWEL AROUND HIS NECK, WAVING TO THE CROWD WHO IS LOUDLY BOOING WITH ONE HAND, AND HIS BOOK "HAVE MORE MONEY NOW" IN THE OTHER. J.R.: "I like the attitude of our owner tonight! No nonsense from Stephanie McMahon and if you ask me, Joe Corey is gonna be hardpressed to win his match tonight with three men gunning for the title and both of his stooges being kicked out of the building"! Lawler: "Well I don't know whether I agree with Stephanie or not, but I know I don't agree with this guy's actions of late"! J.R.: "This is all being done for oppurtunity, clotheslining Trish Stratus and then forcing Travis Wakeman not to lay a hand on him for it, it's all seen as an oppurunity for this man"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES OUT, IGNORING THE FANS LOOKING FOR HIGH FIVES AND FOCUSING ONLY ON BRADSHAW. Lawler: "Well Wakeman's gonna get his hands on Bradshaw now and it's all legal"! BRADSHAW SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AND GETS BEHIND HIS SECURITY. J.R.: "Bradshaw claimed earlier that he has Wakeman right where he wants him. Has oppurtunity knocked on the door of the financial expert"?! Bradshaw w/ personal security vs. Travis Wakeman As the bell sounded, the two men were set to lock up and Bradshaw backed away, asking referee Jim Korderas to check Wakeman for foreign objects. After the pat down, Bradshaw backed out of a lockup again, sticking his head through the ring ropes, further delaying physical contact. But Wakeman couldn't take anymore, charging at Bradshaw and drilling him with some out of control punches. After kicking Bradshaw down to a seated position in the corner, Korderas finally pulled Wakeman back. Bradshaw saw an opening and drove a headbutt into the gut of Wakeman before pounding him across his back and then kicking him in the side of the head. As Wakeman fell through the ring ropes and to the floor, Bradshaw pointed to his head, trying to tell the fans how smart he was. Wakeman pulled himself to the apron but Bradshaw grabbed him for a suplex. But when he tried to suplex him back into the ring, Wakeman slung over him and rolled him up for a 1........2......, but Bradshaw was up. After another kick to the face, Bradshaw picked Wakeman up for his fallaway slam, also known as the Stock Market Crash. But instead of going for the cover, Bradshaw went and grabbed his book. He measured Wakeman, ready to hit him over the head with the hardback edition. But Wakeman caught him around the neck and shoulders and delivered an overhead t-bone suplex. He then picked up the book, ripping the pages into thousands of pieces. Wakeman then had Bradshaw where HE wanted him and moments later, Bradshaw found himself in the Sharpshooter. With Wakeman sitting way back on the hold, one of the security guards grabbed Bradshaw's hand and helped him get to the ropes. Wakeman let go of the hold and had some words with the security guards. But Bradshaw came from behind with a chop block on Wakeman and that led to his big powerbomb. Bradshaw covered Wakeman to get the 1...........2........, but that was it. Bradshaw pulled him up and swung his arm around, readying it for the "Clothesline from Hell". He shot Wakeman to the corner and hit the ropes, looking to deliver the shot. But when Wakeman ducked, Bradshaw slammed into Korderas, turning him inside out. But Bradshaw just drew a smile from this as the 5 security guards rushed into the ring and took it to Wakeman. One of them pulled out a stun gun as two of the others punched and kicked at him. But when the guard got the stun gun ready, Wakeman tackled him and then went on a tear. He threw three of the guards out of the ring before taking one down with a belly to belly suplex. The guard who originally had the stun gun hit Wakeman with a double sledge from behind but when he went for a clothesline, Wakeman countered with a backbody drop that took him out of the ring. Bradshaw kicked Wakeman in the face with a big boot and went for the stun gun. But before he could grasp the weapon, Wakeman recovered and kicked him in the groin from behind. He then picked the big Texan up and put him down with the devastating "Royal Flush", hooking the leg. Korderas slowly came to his senses and crawled over to make the slow 1................2...............3. Match Time: 7:49 J.R.: "Oh what a shot! That Royal Flush could end a career King and it has gotten the job done tonight"! Lawler: "I can't believe it! Wakeman had to deal with five security guards and Bradshaw! Did you see what that one guard was gonna do"? J.R.: "Against all odds, Wakeman has come out on top here but wait a minute, what's Wakeman doing now"? BRADSHAW GOT TO HIS FEET WITH A PIECE FROM ONE OF THE PAGES OF HIS BOOK HANGING FROM HIS MOUTH SO SEE WAKEMAN HOLDING THE STUN GUN. JUST THEN, WAKEMAN USED THE STUN GUN ON HIM AND BRADSHAW CRUMPLED TO THE MAT. Lawler: "Oh my God. How many volts of electricity is in one of those things"?! "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AGAIN AND WAKEMAN LEFT TO A ROARING STANDING OVATION, HOLDING THE STUN GUN IN THE AIR. J.R.: "That was for Trish Stratus you son of a bitch! Maybe now you know how it feels"! Lawler: "Well I'm sure he does, Bradshaw's gotta be regretting some of this now". J.R.: "That was a violent thing to do, but who can blame Wakeman?! He is once again victorious on pay-per-view here at Evil Intentions but I think most importantly, he has gotten some serious payback on one, Bradshaw"! BACKSTAGE...... CARNEY IS SHOWN PUTTING ON SOME BLACK WRIST TAPE WHEN MARTY JANNETTY COMES FROM BEHIND AND PUTS HIS HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS. Marty Jannetty: "Hey man". Carney: "Big match coming up". (He takes a deep breath) Jannetty: "I know, just wanted to wish you good luck out there. Wrestle your kind of match and you'll have that title". Carney: "Thanks man, I appreciate that. But now, I've gotta go get the job done". CARNEY WALKS OFF, HEADED TOWARDS THE RING. "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND CARLITO COMES TO THE RING, GREETED BY A LOT OF BOOS. J.R.: "A huge night it's already been here at Evil Intentions and we are now set for our third title match of the evening"! Lawler: "And this is gonna be the culmination of what has been a grueling King of Cable Challenge". THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS AND ROB STORM COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD RESPONSE. J.R.: "It started with eight men and those who won their singles match, entered a tag team match where all you had to do was not get pinned pr submit to advance here and King, in my opinion, this guy here may be the darkhorse tonight". Lawler: "Rob Storm has been on a hot streak but we're not in Toronto, where he has his own day, trust me he'll tell you, so...... J.R.: "Oh stop! "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A VERY GOOD REACTION. The fireball of Rampage Carney is on his way out and given his history with Joe Corey, I think he poses the biggest threat tonight"! Lawler: "Carney had his name drug through the mud thanks to Corey with what happened in SMW and all! If there's one guy Corey definitely doesn't want to lose to tonight, it's gotta be him"! THE LIGHTS DIM AS "LYING FROM YOU" BY LINKIN PARK HITS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT, POURING WATER OVER HIS HEAD AND THEN MARCHING DOWN THE RAMP AS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE BELT GLISTENS AS HE DOES. J.R.: "And keep in mind that the first man to earn a decision wins this match so conceivably, Carney could pin Carlito and become the King of Cable"! Lawler: "It's just not fair J.R., Stephanie has stacked the odds against Corey too high this time"! J.R.: "And look at this, there's no Alexis Laree out here either". Lawler: "All of Corey's help is gone! I don't like the looks of this"! ONCE IN THE RING, COREY REMOVES THE BELT AND HANDS IT TO REFEREE JOSE MENDEZ WHO SHOWS IT TO THE CROWD BEFORE GIVING IT TO THE TIMEKEEPER. Fatal 4 Way/TWF King of Cable Title Match Carlito Carribean Cool vs. Rob Storm vs. Carney vs. (c) "The Show" Joe Corey As the bell sounded, all four men stood in seperate corners, waiting for someone else to make the first move. Finally, Carney shot of a corner and jumped at Corey. Even though Corey caught him, Carney was still hammering him with some fast strike punches to the head. Meanwhile, Carlito and Storm traded shots until Carlito raked his eyes and delivered a swinging neckbreaker. Corey then dropped Carney on the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes before turning to Carlito. The two men seemed to make some sort of pact to work together, taking the other two out so they could decide the match. Carlito went over and began punching Carney in each side of the rib cage as Corey worked on the lower back of Storm. From a hammerlock position, Corey delivered a backdrop suplex, dropping Storm right on his wrist. Carney got to his feet and threw a kick but Carlito caught his foot. Carney however was able to deliver a reverse enziguri to put Carlito down and then he went towards Corey but it was like the champ had eyes in the back of his head s he turned and took Carney out with a clothesline. He then went back to Storm but Storm used a quick inside cradle to get a long 2 count. Storm then whipped him to the ropes and caught Corey with a flying calf kick before locking in the Sharpshooter. Corey was in a lot of trouble until Carlito came over and kicked Storm in the face before delivering a fisherman suplex. Carlito made the cover and got 1.........2........., but Storm was up. Carlito tried to pull him up but Carney, his partner in the previous King of Cable Challenge tag team match, dropkicked him in the back, knocking him to the floor. But Storm got up and went for a german suplex on Carney. Carney blocked it into a go behind and then hit the C-Drop on Storm. Corey had grabbed a steel chair and he slid it into the ring. But when he came back in, Carney kicked him in the gut and hit the C-Drop on him too. Carney went to the top rope, looking for the Swanton Bomb. But Carlito got on the apron and pushed him off the top rope to the floor outside. Carlito got back into the ring and hit his spinning leg-o-matic on Storm. But before he could go for the cover, Corey got up and spun Carlito around, hitting a DDT right on the steel chair and Mendez turned his attention to register the 3 count. Match Time: 7:02 J.R.: "Oh no! I just cannot believe this guy"! Lawler: "Believe it J.R., he's as good as it gets and there was no help this time either! There goes your excuse"! "LYING FROM YOU" HIT AND MENDEZ HANDED COREY THE TITLE AS ALEXIS LAREE RAN OUT, GOT INTO THE RING AND JUMPED INTO HIS ARMS TO CONGRATULATE HIM. J.R.: "That has been everyone's excuse! But love him or hate him, and I know most hate him, it's time to include this man on the list of the greatest title holders in TWF history"! Lawler: "Oh I love it"! BACKSTAGE...... TODD GRISHAM IS SHOWN STANDING NEXT TO KURT ANGLE. Todd Grisham: "I am here with the number one contender, who in just a few minutes, will challenge John Cena for the TWF World title. Kurt, it's been well documented how hard Cena worked to win the title at WrestleMania. How do you feel about that"? Kurt Angle: "Well Todd, I've always been quite disgusted with John Cena. For one, he's not that good of a wrestler. But what's worse is his rap skills. Someone needs to tell that jerk that the Marky Mark thing was never cool. But Cena, you do hold the World title and you stand in my way of once again holding it. So tonight, I'm gonna make you tap and I'm gonna take it away. And in the process, I'm gonna end your stay on top faster than M.C. Hammer's! Oh it's true"! J.R.: "Fans, this one is for all the marbles, the richest prize in our game! It's Angle versus Cena, take a look"! "OUT OF EXILE" BY AUDIOSLAVE HITS AND A VIDEO PACKAGE DETAILING WHAT HAS LED TO THE MATCH IS SHOWN.

ANGLE's PYRO EXPLODED AS HE RAISED BITH FINGERS TO THE SKY AND THEN MADE HIS TRIP TO THE RING. J.R.: "Perhaps the greatest technical wrestler in the world today is the 1996 Olympic gold medalist and tonight, he aims to be the top wrestler on Rampage"! Lawler: "Well I am one of those that feels that Angle is the best technical wrestler in the world and if Cena gets into a mat war with him tonight, he's in for a quick trip back to the showers"! THE FANS ERUPT AS "MY TIME IS NOW" HITS AND JOHN CENA TROTS OUT WITH THE WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WASTE, COVERING HIS CLYDE DREXLER PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS JERSEY. J.R.: "A lot of people said that John Cena would never win the World title King! So I'd think twice about underestimating him"! Lawler: "I understand what you're saying and it sounds like ninety five percent of this auidence would agree with you. I just think Angle is the better man". J.R.: "I respect that opinion King and it's hard to argue with! I'm just saying that Cena's heart has carried him before and there's no reason to believe it won't tonight"! TWF World Title Match Challenger: Kurt Angle vs. John Cena The bell sounded and the two men walked up to each other. But once face to face, Angle slapped the taste out of Cena's mouth. But that enraged the champion and he came at Angle with his fierce, brawling style. After rocking Angle from one side of the ring to the other with a slew of right hands, Cena whipped him to the ropes and delivered a diving shoulder tackle before getting up and with his arms out, letting out a loud yell of adrenaline. But from the mat, Angle picked Cena's ankle and used a chop block to take him down. He then went to work on the left leg, trying to incapacitate it. Angle tried to lock in a figure four but Cena used his free leg to push Angle to the corner. But when he got up, Angle ran him down with a clothesline. He then locked in a painful crossface chickenwing, the move Bob Backlund made famous and he had Cena in a lot of pain. But somehow, Cena listened to the chants from the crowd and stood up with the hold still on. A shocked Angle then found himself on Cena's shoulders and Cena delivered a nasty version of the "F-U", dropping Angle on his neck and shoulders and hooking the right leg to get the 1........2...........3. Match Time: 4:06 J.R.: "That's what I was talking about! How do you like that"?! Lawler: "I'm..... I'm speechless J.R.". "THE TIME IS NOW" PLAYED AS REFEREE EARL HEBNER HANDED THE BELT TO CENA AND HE STOOD ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, HOLDING IT UP FOR THE RAUCOUS CROWD. J.R.: "Fans if you believe in yourself, you believe you're capable of doing it, who gives a damn what everyone else thinks! John Cena embodies the fighting spirit in all of us"!
