THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT LOGO APPEARS ON THE SCREEN BEFORE SEVERAL FLAMING TORCHES ARE SHOWN, PERCHED AGAINST A WALL. A CLANGING SOUND CAN BE HEARD BEFORE PEOPLE SHACKLED BY THE ANKLES ARE SHOWN, BEING LED UP A LONG STAIRWAR. A GUARD CARRYING A PITCHWORK WITH A BLACK HOOD OVER HIS HEAD STANDS BELOW, FORCING THEM UP.
A LOUD SPLASH IS HEARD EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SO AS A VOICE YELLS "DROP HIM".
A HUGE PLATFORM IS THEN SHOWN WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO WALK A PLANK INTO DARK, MURKY WATERS BELOW. IN THE WATER, SHARKS ARE SEEN CIRCLING BELOW.
"DROP HIM" YELLS THE VOICE AGAIN, AS "WHAT I'VE DONE" BY LINKIN PARK HITS AND THE MAN YELLING IS SHOWN TO BE VINCE McMAHON, WEARING A BROWN CLOAK.
ANOTHER PRISONER IS LED UP TO THE PLANK. THE MAN, A HOOD OVER HIS HEAD AS WELL, PEERS DOWN AT HIS FATE. BUT SUDDENLY, HE ELBOWS ONE OF THE GUARDS IN THE ABDOMEN AND FLIPS HIM OVER HIS SHOULDER INTO THE WATER BELOW! THE MAN THEN GRABS HIS PITCHFORK AND FLINGS THE HOOD OFF HIS HEAD.
THE SONG REACHES IT's CHORUS, IT's TRAVIS WAKEMAN! WAKEMAN STARES DOWN AT McMAHON, WHO HAS BROKE INTO AN EVIL LAUGH. THE LAUGHTER CARRIES ON AS THE SHOT FADES OUT AND THE ARENA COMES INTO THE SHOT.
Audio Voiceover: "And now, TWF Entertainment and the XBOX 360 present.........
PYRO BOMBARDS THE SCOTIABANK PLACE AND THE FANS INSIDE, NEARLY 13,000 OF THEM, ARE GOING WILD.
Jim Ross: "North of the border we have gone, to the home of the team that has reached the Stanley Cup finals and, King..... are we in store for a huge night or what"?!
Jerry Lawler: "Three titles on the line tonight, six huge matches in all, J.R., oh, it's gonna be huge"!
J.R.: "All of the action tonight will be courtesy of the Rampage division and it looks like we're ready to get things underway"!
THE MUSIC FOR THE CANADIAN-ITALIAN EXCHANGE, A MIXTURE OF THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM AND THE THEME FROM THE "GODFATHER" COMES ON AND ROB STORM COMES OUT FOLLOWED BY THE MONSTROUS ALDO CORLEONE TO A VERY MIXED RESPONSE.
Lawler: "Well here they come, J.R., the number one contenders for the Rampage Tag Team titles and I think they present the greatest challenge to date to the World's Greatest Tag Team"!
J.R.: "Rob Storm and Aldo Corleone just remind you of that old school style big man-little man combination that has worked so well for teams in the past. Strength, speed and agiiity combined, this team has all the tools to win the titles, King".
THE CROWD POPS AS THE WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM's MUSIC PLAYS AND THEY COME OUT IN MATCHING ATTIRE WITH THE TITLES STRAPPED AROUND THEIR WAIST.
Lawler: "Well if they really want to be remembered as the world's greatest tag team, they're gonna have to be able to win matches like this one"!
J.R.: "We've talked about it before, King, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin were sitting right here at our broadcast position when they witnessed Aldo Corleone almost single handedly win that battle royale in order to get the Canadian-Italian Exchange this match and it was apparent, at least to me, that they knew they had their hands full".
Lawler: "Well it looks like Rob Storm will start the match off, I think if it were me, I'd put the big man in there and see what these guys could do"!
J.R.: "Haas and Benjamin are two of the better athletes you're ever gonna come across in this business. Both are amatuer wrestling phenoms that had stellar careers at the NCAA level"!
Lawler: "Well I hate to say it, J.R., both I don't think the NCAA prepared them for a match like this"!
Rampage Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Canadian-Italian Exchange vs. World's Greatest Tag Team Storm and Benjamin started the match with a collar and elbow tie and Shelton quickly whipped "Canada's favorite son" to the mat with an armdrag. The challengers actually had some support from the crowd, presumably due to Storm's Canadian roots. Storm popped up and Benjamin caught him with a hip toss this time before hitting the ropes. Storm got up and showed his agility, leapfrogging Benjamin and then catching him with a flying calf kick as he came off the other side. Storm then shot Benjamin to the ropes and caught him with a picture perfect dropkick, right on the mouth. A tag was made to Corleone and he stepped over the top rope to get into the ring before just smashing Shelton with a heavy clothesline. Aldo stalked Shelton, who was in a lot of trouble. After a couple kicks to the body, Aldo pulled him up and hammered him with a headbutt. Shelton fell to the mat but tried to shake off the effects as Aldo pulled him up and whipped him to the ropes. But Shelton ducked his clothesline attempt and came off the other side with a dropkick to the knee. Shelton thought this would give him the opening he needed, but Aldo seemingly felt nothing and kicked Shelton right in the face! He then launched Shelton to his own corner, daring Haas to make the tag. Haas did and he came into the ring, sizing Aldo up like he was back on the mat at Seton Hall University. Haas went right at Aldo, grabbing him around the torso, but Aldo just swatted him away and showed his amazing athletic ability with a spin kick to the head. Aldo made the tag back to Storm, who went at the lower back of Haas, using a bow and arrow lock. Haas fought the pain for almost a minute, before finding a way out. Storm got up and planted his right foot into the rib cage of Haas, kicking him in a punting motion. After a swinging neckbreaker, Storm went to the top rope, waiting for Haas to get up. When he did, he flew off, but Haas knocked him out of the air with a dropkick that caught him right in the chest. Storm hit the mat hard as Haas did his best to make it to his corner. Storm didn't make any effort to tag out, and as Shelton Benjamin tagged in, new life was shot into the arms of the champs. Benjamin hit the ring off the hot tag, drilling Storm with back to back clotheslines before grabbing him for the T-Bone suplex, but Storm caught him with an elbow to the back of the head. Storm then took Shelton out with a jumping enziguri. Storm looked over at Aldo, but before he could make the tag, Shelton grabbed his foot and tripped him up. Shelton then held the foot and pulled Storm back to the center of the ring before making the tag to Haas. Haas was content to keep the match on the mat, locking Storm in a reverse chin lock. But Storm worked his way to his feet and countered with a sit down jawbreaker. Storm again tried to tag in the big man, but Haas desperately reached for his foot and took him down with a dragon leg whip. Haas then picked Storm up and delivered a nice vertical suplex. Aldo Corleone had finally seen enough and came into the ring, going after Haas. But threatening a disqualification, referee Jose Mendez got him out of the ring. As this was going on, Shelton used the top rope to slingshot himself into a nice clothesline takedown on Storm. Haas then locked Storm's arms behind his back and rolled him over onto his shoulders as Mendez turned to make the 3 count. Match Time: 8:46 J.R.: "They got 'em! The World's Greatest Tag Team have just taken another step towards being exactly that"! Lawler: "They cheated, J.R."! THE WORLD's GREATEST TAG TEAM's MUSIC HIT AND THEY WERE GIVEN THEIR TITLES AS MOST OF THE CROWD CHEERED BEFORE THEY LEFT THE RING, HOLDING THOSE BELTS HIGH IN THE AIR. J.R.: "I think outsmarted is a better word, King! They had a great strategy, never letting the big guy get back into the match"! Lawler: "Well I'll give them that, cause you know if Rob Storm would've been able to make that tag, we probably would have a different result"! BACKSTAGE AREA...... WILLIAM REGAL IS SHOWN WALKING THROUGH THE BACK ON HIS WAY TO THE RING WHEN HE COMES ACROSS ECW, AND FORMER RAMPAGE SUPERSTAR JOE COREY. William Regal: "What the hell are you doing here"? Joe Corey: "Oh don't start, Regal, I'm here looking over my group, saying hi, ya know"? Regal: "Listen sunshine, if you or any of your goons come anywhere near that ring tonight, you'll regret it"! Corey (laughs): "Yeah, whatever, but you don't have to worry about it, because I talked to J.J., and he wants to show the world he can beat you all by himself. And besides, the rest of the guys and I have something else to do tonight..... come on boys". COREY LEADS THE WAY AS ECW WALKS PAST REGAL IN THE DIRECTION HE CAME FROM. ELIJAH BURKE STOPS AND GETS IN THE FACE OF REGAL, STARING HIM DOWN FOR A MOMENT. THE SHOT CUTS OVER TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, WHERE KRISTAL IS STANDING BY WITH KEN KENNEDY, WHO HAS A KENDO STICK IN HAND. Kristal: "Mister Kennedy, tonight, you will be one of six men involved in a six pack challenge to determine a number one contender for the King of Cable title. But, this won't be any six pack......... Kennedy: "You're right, this one will have hardcore rules. Ya see this? KENNEDY HOLDS UP THE KENDO STICK. This is just one of the things I plan to use in that match tonight. If I have to hit someone with a kendo stick, I will. If I have to put them through a table, I will. If I have to hit one of those idiots with a kitchen sink, I will. It makes no difference, Kristal, because when all is said and done, the winner of the match will be...... Misterrrrrrrr....... Kennedyyyyyyyyyyy"! KENNEDY WALKS AWAY AND KRISTAL ACTUALLY SEEMS ENTERTAINED. BACK AT RINGSIDE, WILLIAM REGAL's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A PRETTY DECENT RESPONSE. J.R.: "It seems like ages ago that this man and J.J. Ramplin were aligned, King, but all that is out the window tonight". Lawler: "Well I know Regal's primary focus tonight is on teaching J.J. Ramplin a lesson and that the title is secondary, but I can assure you, Ramplin sees Regal as nothing more than another victim"! THE ECW ENTRANCE IS SHOWN INSIDE THE CROWD AND THE LIGHTS DIM. A RED FLASH GOES ACROSS THE SCOTIABANK PLACE AS "MISERIA CANTARE" BY AFI KICKS UP. MOMENTS LATER, J.J. RAMPLIN COMES THROUGH THE BLACK CURTAIN TO NOTHING BUT BOOS WITH THE ECW TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "Well for those wondering if ECW is popular in Canada, listen to this"! Lawler: "But even these Canadians wouldn't be able to argue this group's success, J.R."! J.R.: "Well ECW will take the credit, but I feel William Regal has a valid point when it comes to Ramplin! Let's face it, where was this kid before he aligned himself with Regal"? Lawler: "Regal did help Ramplin get to where he is, J.R., there's no question about it! But when he realized he didn't need him anymore, he severed that cord! I don't see anything wrong with that"! J.R.: "Of course you don't, but like it or not, if Regal walks out of here with that King of Cable title, it might prove to be a big mistake on Ramplin's part"! TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger: William Regal vs. J.J. "The Ram" Ramplin> The bell sounded and the intensity was etched all over the face of Regal. He came out swinging but rather than cover up, Ramplin stood toe to toe with him, going punch for punch. The southpaw Regal caught Ramplin with a left hook and then kicked him in the gut. Regal then hit the ropes, looking for a running knee, but Ramplin avoided it and clubbed Regal with a nasty clothesline. Ramplin then got down on the mat, driving several knees into the head of Regal to stun him. Regal was really knocked for a loop and Ramplin saw it, smashing him with a shuffle kick when he got to his feet. Off an irish whip, Ramplin then hit a big powerslam and hooked the leg for the 1........2......., but Regal got a shoulder up to avoid a very quick defeat. Ramplin pulled his former mentor to his feet and whipped him to the corner but when he ran in, Regal backdropped him over the top rope and to the floor. On the way down, Ramplin's right forearm smashed against the steel ring steps. This is where the match turned completely around. Regal followed Ramplin to the floor and reverted back to his street fighting days in Blackpool, beating the hell out of Ramplin on the floor. After throwing his right arm into the ring post, Regal knocked The Ram down with a left hand. He then picked him up and rammed him face first into the announce table. But Regal then pulled the monitor Jerry Lawler was watching out of place and used the cord from it to choke Ramplin, risking disqualification. Regal then took Ramplin and threw him into the ring and with a look of anger in his eyes, he grabbed Ramplin and delivered a double underhook suplex. Ramplin looked like he was done as Regal topped him for the 1..........2......., but The Ram was up.... barely. Regal pulled him up, looking to finish him, and he shot him to the corner. But as Regal moved in, Ramplin exploded out of the corner with the Ram's Horns! The crowd was in shock at the sudden turn of events before Ramplin picked Regal up and delivered the "Dead Weight" to get the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 5:59 Lawler: "Take a look at this, J.R.! Do you still think he made the wrong choice"?! J.R.: "A very impressive victory, do doubt about it, and that's one that's gotta bring a smile to the rest of the faces of ECW"! "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AS RAMPLIN GRABBED HIS BELT AND LEFT THE RING, NOT LOOKING BACK ONCE. Lawler: "You're right about that, J.R.! ECW, not William Regal, has gotten J.J. Ramplin to this level"! BACKSTAGE...... IN THE BACK, KRISTAL IS SHOWN STANDING BY WITH JASON OLIVER. Kristal: "Jason, we just saw J.J. Ramplin successfully retain the King of Cable title. Tonight, you will be part of the hardcore six pack challenge to determine a new number one contender for that...... Jason Oliver: "Sorry to cut you off, well actually, no I'm not..... Ramplin, you know that you and I have unfinished business. These people in Ottawa and all across this great country haven't forgotten what you did to our flag and after I win that six pack tonight...... I'll be knocking at your door.... bitch"! TRAINER's ROOM CAMERAS IN THE TRAINER's ROOM SHOW THE TRAINER MASSAGING THE SHOULDER OF BATISTA, AND ROTATING IT AROUND. SUDDENLY, HE STOPS THE EXCERCISE. Trainer: "This just isn't a good idea. Your doctor said it's a bad idea, and I'm not gonna clear you to go out there either". BATISTA STANDS UP FROM THE TABLE HE WAS SITTING ON. Batista: "I told you, I am going out there tonight.... now get out of my way". THE TRAINER STEPS ASIDE AS BATISTA LEAVES THE ROOM. THE CAMERAS THEN GO TO THE DRESSING ROOM OF MONEY MIKE AND SHOW HIM GETTING READY FOR HIS MATCH, WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON LOOKING ON. Stephanie McMahon: "I don't care what it takes, I am not spending ninety days with that creep! You have to win tonight". Money Mike: "Oh I'll win, and when I do, I better not ever see that punk near you again"! BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE CAMERA's FOCUS IS ON THE ECW ENTRANCE. THE LIGHTS DIM AGAIN AS "MISERIA CANTARE" COMES ON AND SYLVESTER TERKAY COMES THROUGH THE CURTAIN, LED BY ELIJAH BURKE. J.R.: "Back to the action here at Evil Intentions, King, and here comes the enforcer of ECW, the Manbear, Sylvester Terkay". Lawler: "Well who can forget when this guy powerbombed Batista through our announce table.... he's coming out here to finish the job tonight"! J.R.: "He definitely has the physical tools to do it too, and with Elijah Burke at ringside, it only puts the odds more in his favor"! AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE, THE FANS GO WILD AS "I WALK ALONE" BY SALIVA COMES ON AND BATISTA STEPS OUT TO A HUGE PYRO DISPLAY. Lawler: "Well here he comes, J.R., and even though he looks really fired up right now, you have to question this guy's judgement here"! J.R.: "Against doctor's orders, against trainer's orders, Batista is on his way out here to get it on with one of the toughest guys in the entire TWF and bad judgement or not, you have to admire the guts here of Batista"! Lawler: "It's the animal versus the Manbear, J.R., what a war this should be"! Sylvester Terkay w/ Elijah Burke vs. Batista The bell sounded and like two heavyweight boxers, both men came out swinging. Terkay connected with the heavier shots and after knocking the animal against the ropes, he whipped him in and impressively picked him up onto his shoulders, delivering a TKO. Terkay then got down on Batista, hitting him with lefts and rights to his face. Referee Scott Martin tried to pull Terkay off, but was unsuccessful. Finally, Batista shoved him off. Terkay got a running start and came at him again, but this time, Batista smashed him with a clothesline. Batista then let out a yell, letting everyone know he was back into it. After another clothesline, Batista pulled Terkay up but Burke reached his right arm under the bottom rope and grabbed Batista's foot. This allowed Terkay to get in a thrust to the throat followed by a stiff forearm shiver. But out of nowhere, Batista just picked Terkay up and drove him into the mat with a spinebuster. Burke got up on the apron, but caught a big right hand which knocked him to the floor. Batista then grabbed Terkay and pulled him in for the "Batista Bomb", delivering it with an incredible amount of authority to get the 3 count. Match Time: 2:19 J.R.: "This is over! In just over two minutes, a hobbled Batista has defeated the ECW Manbear"! Lawler: "Wait a minute, J.R., Burke's in the ring"! "I WALK ALONE" WAS QUICKLY CUT OFF WHEN ELIJAH BURKE GOT INTO THE RING, ATTACKING BATISTA FROM BEHIND. BATISTA WAS ABLE TO FIGHT HIM OFF, BUT TERKAY JOINED IN AND THEY TOOK BATISTA DOWN. BATISTA DID HIS BEST TO TAKE BOTH MEN ON, BUT J.J. RAMPLIN AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLONDES CAME OUT, FOLLOWED BY JOE COREY, WHO WAS CARRYING A STEEL CHAIR. RAMPLIN, MERCURY AND NITRO GOT INTO THE RING AND TOOK IT TO BATISTA, MAKING IT 5 ON 1 ODDS. WITH BATISTA INCAPACITATED, COREY CAME INTO THE RING AND BLASTED HIM WITH A STEEL CHAIR. EACH MEMBER OF ECW WAS ABLE TO USE THE SAME CHAIR ON BATISTA, BUSTING HIM OPEN. A LARGE RED BLOOD STAIN COVERED THE MAT AS TERKAY THREW THE RING STEPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND INTO THE RING AS COREY ASKED FOR ANOTHER CHAIR. MERCURY WENT AND GOT HIM ONE AND PUSHED IT INTO THE RING AS BURKE GRABBED IT AND SET IT UP. COREY SMASHED THE CHAIR OVER HIS HEAD AGAIN BEFORE PULLING BATISTA, WHO WAS DEAD WEIGHT, BACK UP AND DELIVERING THE "SHOWSTOPPER" ON THE RING STEPS. J.R.: "My God.... get someone out here to stop this.... there's blood everywhere"! Lawler: "Here comes some help"! A COUPLE TWF OFFICIALS RAN OUT FROM THE BACK BUT BURKE CUT THEM OFF AND WHAT CAME NEXT WAS TRUELY SHOCKING. RAMPLIN, MERCURY, NITRO, TERKAY AND COREY ALL GRABBED A LIMB OF BATISTA, LIFTING HIM OVER THEIR HEADS. WITH A RUNNING START, THEY RAN ACROSS THE RING AND THREW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! BATISTA CRASHED INTO THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE AND WAS OUT. BOTH BOOS AND A VERY LOUD "HOLY SHIT" CHANT FILLED THE ARENA AS THE OFFICIALS FORCED ECW OUT OF THE RING. J.R.: "I can't believe what we've just witnessed, King, Batista has been absolutely destroyed"! "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED AS NOW NEARLY THE ENTIRE CROWD WAS BOOING WHILE EMT's MADE THEIR WAY TO THE RING, PUSHING A STRETCHER. Lawler: "Well this is obviously a very serious situation, J.R., we've got paramedics coming out here now". J.R.: "What would possess someone to do something like this to another person? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that it took six guys to do this"! THE EMT's PUT A NECKBRACE ON BATISTA AND DID THEIR BEST TO IMMOBOLIZE HIM AS THEY LOADED HIM ONTO THE STRETCHER. Lawler: "This could truely be a career changing event for Batista, J.R., he hasn't moved". J.R.: "Well I'd like to say there will be extreme consequences for ECW, but I just can't! This is one of the most vile and dispicable acts I can remember in all my years in this business! Batista, who is no small man, was launched like a long dart through the air, right through the Spanish announce table! Let's send it to the back.... this is disgusting"! BACKSTAGE...... KRISTAL IS WITH MATT CRUZ, WHO IS ON HIS WAY TO THE RING. Kristal: "Matt, before you go out there, I just had to ask, how will your amatuer wrestling background translate into the hardcore six pack challenge tonight"? Matt Cruz: "Do you always ask such stupid questions? No, seriously, all I can say is watch and see. Any of these other five guys think I can't be hardcore, they're in for a long night". A NATIVE AMERICAN WARCHANT IS HEARD, LEADING INTO TATANKA's MUSIC AND HE COMES OUT WEARING HIS HEADDRESS AND CARRYING A TOMAHAWK. J.R.: "Well it looks like we're about to get hardcore, King"! Lawler: "This is gonna be wild, J.R., look at the ring, there's weapons everywhere"! THE CAMERA GETS A SHOT OF THE WEAPON FILLED RING AS "I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO CARLITO's MUSIC. HE COMES OUT, TOSSING AN APPLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND, AND IS MET WITH PLENTY OF BOOS. Lawler: "You don't think Tatanka plans to use that tomahawk, do ya, J.R."? J.R.: "Well I guess he could, anything goes"! THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND A HUGE CHEER IS HEARD AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" HITS AND THE ARENA SPOTLIGHT PICKS UP A SHADOWY FIGURE HOLDING A BASEBALL BAT. WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON, NEMESIS IS SHOWN BEFORE SLOWLY HEADING TO THE RING. Lawler: "This guy has to be one of the favorites, J.R."! J.R.: "He's the biggest man in this match and speaking of weapons, that baseball bat could cause a great deal of damage tonight, King"! DR. DRE's "THE NEXT EPISODE" PLAYS AND MATT CRUZ COMES TO THE RING TO A GOOD CHEER. Lawler: "We just heard this guy claim he can get hardcore, but now it's time to prove it"! J.R.: "Lemme tell you something, King, anybody who can be shot in a drive-by shooting and live to tell about it, is hardcore in my book"! "SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA HITS AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST REACTIONS ALL NIGHT. BUT HALFWAY DOWN THE RAMP, HE IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY MR. KENNEDY, WHO SMACKS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A KENDO STICK. J.R.: "Oh look out.... there's Mister Kennedy, and I suppose that is legal too"! Lawler: "It sure is, J.R., and it just shows you how calculating Kennedy is"! J.R.: "Elimination rules apply here, the last man standing will be declared the winner"! Hardcore 6 Pack Challenge/#1 contender for King of Cable Title Tatanka vs. Carlito vs. Nemesis vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz vs. Jason Oliver vs. Ken Kennedy With the pre-match attack outside the ring, the other 4 combatants went at it inside the ring. Nemesis took it to Tatanka while Cruz and Carlito exchanged shots. Outside the ring, Kennedy had just hit Oliver for the third time with the kendo stick when he decided to go to the ring. But when he got in, Cruz was waiting with a right hand before a belly to belly suplex that sent Kennedy, and the kendo stick, flying. Cruz turned around to catch a garbage can to the head from Tatanka. Carlito tried to get Nemesis up onto his shoulders, but Nemesis blocked it and pushed him towards Tatanka. But the Native American took the trash can and threw it at the head of Nemesis. After a big clothesline from Carlito took him down, Tatanka grabbed a cookie sheet and place it over the face of Nemesis, stomping on it. Tatanka and Carlito, the only two standing, then traded shots. Tatanka took a stiff right hand and put Carlito down with a knifedge chop. He then went for his tomahawk and there was no telling what he had planned, but out of nowhere, Jason Oliver had recovered and he took Tatanka to the mat with a cobra clutch, quickly getting him to tap out. Carlito then got up and went for a double leg on Oliver, but Oliver kneed him in the face and delivered the "Claymore", much to the delight of the crowd. But before he could make the cover, Oliver was clotheslined over the top rope by Nemesis. Seeing an oppurtunity, Kennedy climbed to the top rope and came off with the Ken-Ton Bomb, slamming into Carlito before covering him for the pin. Cruz, Kennedy and Nemesis were in the ring, going at it, while Oliver tried to pick himself up on the floor. Kennedy and Cruz went for a double suplex on the 7 foot Nemesis, but he blocked it and pushed them both off. Nemesis then grabbed each man around the throat and delivered an incredible double chokeslam! But much like he did to Tatanka, Oliver came from behind, jumping onto Nemesis' shoulders and taking him to the mat with a rear naked choke. He was literally choked out when referee Jack Doan checked his arm, and Doan ruled he was out, making Nemesis the third elimination in a span of a minute and a half. Cruz and Oliver each picked up a weapon, Cruz grabbing a street sign of some sort and Oliver picking up a steel chair. Kennedy turned around, after having some words with a few of the front row fans, and his eyes widened when he saw his opponents. Oliver and Cruz each came at him, but Kennedy ducked out under the bottom rope. Instead, Cruz turned the street sign on Oliver, smashing him over the head with it. This forced Oliver to drop the chair and Cruz grabbed him for a northern lights suplex but Oliver countered out and tripped Cruz up. Oliver was able to grab the chair again and he jammed it into the midsection of Cruz before picking him up for a powerbomb, but driving him head and shoulder first into the mat to get a 3 count. The crowd came to their feet as the match was down to Oliver and Kennedy. Kennedy had the kendo stick again, but Oliver used the chair to swat it out of his hands, breaking it in the process. Kennedy then threw a clothesline, but Oliver ducked and whacked him across the back with the chair. Oliver then went outside the ring and reached under it, pulling out a table, which really got the crowd riled up. Oliver gave Kennedy another shot, a shuffle kick to the face, before setting up the table and laying him atop it. Oliver then played to the crowd a little but when he turned back to Kennedy, he caught a thumb to the eyes. Kennedy then rolled off the table and reached into his tights, where he pulled something out and smashed Oliver over the head with it. Coins scattered the ring, and it appeared Kennedy has hit Oliver with a roll of nickels. He then grabbed the trash can and placed it over the head of Oliver, before smashing him with the steel chair. After pulling the trash can off his head, Kennedy could see Oliver was nearly out on his feet, making it very easy for him to get him onto his shoulders as he climbed the turnbuckle. Kennedy was on the top rope with Oliver on his shoulders and he let out a loud yell before flying off the top rope with the "Lambeau Leap", right through the table! The crowd let out a collective "Ohhh" as Kennedy rolled on top of Oliver and got the 1.........2.......3. Match Time: 9:11 Lawler: "Are you kidding me, J.R.?! They went right through that table"! J.R.: "Unbelievable.... absolutely unbelievable! Mister Kennedy has become the number one contender to the King of Cable title with an incredible performance"! Lawler: "Oh look at this.... Kennedy's got the microphone"! Ken Kennedy: "And the winner of the match..... which should come as no surprise at all....... Misterrrrrrr Kennedyyyyyyyy"! KENNEDY's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE DROPPED THE MIC AS SOME OF THE CROWD COULD EVEN BE HEARD CHEERING HIM, BUT MOST BOOED. J.R.: "Kennedy made his presence felt even before the match started and he is the man left standing in the end"! Lawler: "Like he just said, J.R., it should come as no surprise at all"! DRESSING ROOM....... TAYLOR MADE IS SHOWN IN THE DRESSING ROOM, LACING HIS BOOTS. KELLY IS BEHIND HIM, AND LOOKS A LITTLE NERVOUS. Taylor Made: (sighs) "What's the matter, Kell"? Kelly: "Well, I just don't know if I'm crazy about you spending the next ninety days with Stephanie McMahon. I mean, I'm supposed to be your Taylorette". Taylor: "And you are.... besides, I bet there's something I can find for the two of you to do together". TAYLOR GETS A SLIGH GRIN ON HIS FACE AS THE SHOT CUTS TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA. CHRIS MASTERS WALKS INTO AN OFFICE WHERE MUHAMMAD HASSAN AND VINCE McMAHON STAND. MASTERS HANDS OVER THE WRESTLEMANIA JACKPOT BRIEFCASE TO HASSAN. Chris Masters: "Here it is... officially cashing in". Vince McMahon: "I can't wait for this, just remember, stick to the plan, and you will leave this dump known as Ottawa the TWF World champion"! Masters: "I like the sound of that". "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND KICKS UP AND TAYLOR MADE MAKES HIS WAY OUT WITH KELLY TO A BIG POP. J.R.: "An it looks like it's time for the first ever Love her or Leave her match, King"! Lawler: "Well Taylor Made is coming into this thing a huge underdog, but I'd love to see him win"! J.R.: "Yeah, I'd love to see what the so called Queen of the TWF would do for the next ninety days". Lawler: "I only want to see him win to see what he has planned for Kelly and Steph"! "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE STEPS OUT, LOOKING OUT INTO THE CROWD WITH A SCOWL ON HIS FACE. STEPHANIE IS WITH HIM, HANGING ONTO HIS RIGHT ARM. J.R.: "Can you imagine the first couple of the TWF being broken up in this manner"? Lawler: "This would be a tragedy for them, J.R.! This would be like Princess Di ending up with some local townsman or the Queen of England being forced to spend three months with one of the Village People.... it would be awful"! J.R.: "Well those are the prospects facing the billion dollar queen if Money Mike can't pull this off but if he does win, Taylor will be restricted from being within one hundred feet of her"! "Love her or Leave her" Match Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon vs. Taylor Made w/ Kelly The bell sounded to start the match and Money Mike moved in like he was going to lock up with Taylor, but when Taylor went for it, he kicked him in the gut. Mike then fired 3 right hands that connected but Taylor blocked a fourth and went to the body with some kicks. Taylor then hit the ropes and ducked a swinging backhand before scoring with a dropkick. Taylor had all the momentum, and the support of the crowd, on his side. He then turned and blew a kiss to Stephanie, which Kelly curiously applauded, but this seemed to light a fire inside Money Mike. As Taylor moved in to grab him, Mike pulled him by the front of his pants and threw him face first into the middle turnbuckle. After a devastating outpour of punches and kicks to the head and body, Mike picked Taylor up and dropped him over the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes before hitting the ropes and running him over with a clothesline. Mike then got down in Taylor's face, using his fingers to try and rearrange Taylor's facial features before referee Chad Patton pulled him off. Taylor tried to pick himself up, but Mike ran up and kicked him square in the face, knocking a wad of saliva out of Taylor's mouth. Mike made the cover, but Taylor kicked out at 2. Mike pulled him up and Taylor tried to get a shot into the midsection, but it didn't do any damage and Mike picked him up, driving him into the mat with the "Money Pit". Mike looked over at Kelly with an evil look in his eyes and Stephanie raised her right hand, motioning the 1......2........3 as Patton counted it. Match Time: 4:30 J.R.: "And that does it.... Money Mike bringing a convincing end to this match and now, Taylor's gotta pay the consequences, King"! Lawler: "I think they should make him sign that restraining order now! And maybe a new stipulation can be added to where Kelly has to spend the next ninety days with me"! "KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN AND STEPHANIE STOOD OVER TAYLOR ALONG WITH MONEY MIKE, BERATING HIM AS THE CROWD BOOED. KELLY STOOD HELPLESSLY WATCHING OUTSIDE THE RING. J.R.: "I love how Steph acts like she had no part in this. Whether she admits it or not, I'd say she was smitten with Taylor Made"! Lawler: "Well it doesn't matter now, because he's gotta stay at least one hundred feet away from her from now on"! J.R.: "Fans the next time we will be on Pay-Per-View will be with the superstars of PrimeTime and it will be the first pay-per-view ever held in the Cornhusker state"! Lawler: "That's right, J.R., we will be in Omaha, Nebraska for TWF Payback"! BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW TRAVIS WAKEMAN IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, BEATING A PUNCHING BAG, WHEN TODD GRISHAM WALKS IN HOLDING A MICROPHONE. Todd Grisham: "Travis Wakeman, tonight you will be putting the TWF World title on the line against the man who won the WrestleMania Jackpot, Chris Masters. What is your gameplan heading into this one? WAKEMAN STOPS HIS WORKOUT AND GRABS HIS BELT, LEAVING THE ROOM. Okay, it looks like Wakeman is ready to go, let's send it back to J.R. and The King". BACK AT RINGSIDE, CHRIS MASTERS' MUSIC PLAYS AND HE IS SHOWN AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE, ON ONE KNEE. MASTERS STANDS UP AND THROWS HIS CAPE OFF BEFORE PYRO SPOUTS OFF BEHIND HIM, AND HE FLEXES HIS IMPRESSIVE PHYSIQUE FOR THE CHEERING CROWD. J.R.: "And we are ready for the main event..... here comes the twenty-four year old challenger"! Lawler: "Say that again, J.R."! J.R.: "What"? Lawler: "This guy is only twenty four years old! It's like the Lebron James of the TWF! He'd have to be the youngest champion in TWF history"! J.R.: "Quite easily, I think". Lawler: "Well if you ask me, Chris Masters has the confident look of a wily veteran, J.R., Wakeman's gonna have his hands full"! "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN PLAYS AND TRAVIS WAKEMAN STEPS OUT TO A WILD REACTION. HE IS CARRYING THE WORLD TITLE IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND HE HAS THE LOVELY MELINA FOLLOWING HIM. J.R.: "We've seen this man take on opponents of all shapes and sizes in the last nine months, King, and if I checked my facts right, this reign is the longest with that title in TWF history"! Lawler: "There's no doubt that Wakeman's time as champion has been impressive, and he feels that he can beat anybody in the world, but what will he do against the younger, more physical Masterpiece"?! J.R.: "Chris Masters has turned in the WrestleMania Jackpot to get this title shot, a chance he's never been close to in his career, no knock on him". Lawler: "And that's why I believe Masters is gonna make the most of this, J.R."! TWF World Title Match Challenger: "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs. Travis Wakeman w/ Melina The bell sounded to start the match, and the buzz of the fans created a "big fight" atmosphere. Masters moved in on Wakeman, but Wakeman showed his incredible mat wrestling prowess by using a go behind into a throw. Wakeman had top position on Masters, who seemed way out of his element. Masters got back his vertical base and threw a back elbow, but Wakeman avoided it and delivered a northern lights suplex, bridging into a cover for a quick 2 count. Both men got to their feet and Wakeman came in, ducking a big clothesline but as he came off the other side, Masters showed his tremendous power by picking Wakeman up with a gorilla press and just slamming him hard to the mat. Masters quickly followed up with some heavy forearms to the back before trapping Wakeman in a neck vise. Masters had Wakeman's head turned awkwardly, and the champion seemed to be in a lot of pain. Masters suddenly just broke the hold and kicked Wakeman right in the face. After a gutbuster across his knee, Masters targeted the ribs of Wakeman, locking in a bear hug on the mat. The massive arms of Masters squeezed around the frame of the champion, threatening to take his every breath. Wakeman was able to wheel his right leg around to the bottom rope to earn a break. But he was slow to get up, and the youthful Masters seemed to be taking over. Off an irish whip, Masters delivered a textbook powerslam, hooking the leg for a 2 count. Wakeman showed he still had plenty of fight left in him, and the crowd was happy to see it. Masters stayed on the offensive, pounding Wakeman and methodically taking the right to him. But Wakeman began to fight back, throwing a right hand here and there before lifting Masters up by the legs and just driving him into the mat! Wakeman grabbed the legs of Masters, looking for the Sharpshooter, but Masters had it scouted and pulled Wakeman into a small package for the 1.......2......, but Wakeman was up. Wakeman beat Masters to the next punch and after 2 kicks to the gut, he hit the ropes but Masters came back with a nasty Polish Hammer! A loud "Oooooh" came out of the crowd all at once as Masters covered Wakeman for a count of 2 and 7/8. Masters didn't get the win, but he had busted the nose of Wakeman, which was bleeding profusely. Masters decided to go back to the bear hug, sucking the life out of Wakeman, who was beginning to have trouble breathing. Out of desperation, Wakeman escaped the clutches of Masters with an ear clap before muscling him up for a belly to belly suplex. Wakeman fell into the ropes, but hearing the cheers of the crowd seemed to revitalize him. After 2 hard clotheslines, Wakeman picked Masters up for a high angle swinging neckbreaker right into a cover, but Masters shot his right arm off the mat at 2. Wakeman kept Masters on the mat, trying to submit him with a variety of holds. But he couldn't get Masters to give in. Wakeman pulled him to his feet but Masters used a go behind right into the "Masterlock"! But there was never any worries as Wakeman came up with a great counter, falling to his back before Masters could interlock his hands and rolling him up for a very near fall. Both men got to their feet but Masters fell victim to a stun gun after running at the champ. That's when Mark Henry made his way down to ringside, along with the chairman of the board, Vince McMahon. Boos overtook the Scotiabank Place as the two approached the ring, but Wakeman intelligently kept his focus on Masters. Masters however, got in a rake of the eyes before clotheslining Wakeman over the top rope. Vince and Masters then acted together in distracting referee Jim Korderas as Henry scooped Wakeman up and drove him spine first into the steel ringpost! Henry laid Wakeman on the apron and put his hands up as if he didn't touch him. Wakeman tried to pick himself up, but as he had his head over the middle ring rope, Vince came over with a steel chair and smacked him in the head with it. Masters pushed Korderas out of the way and made the cover to get the 1........2........, but Wakeman was up! McMahon and company couldn't believe it, and Vince yelled "Masterlock"! Masters followed the order, picking Wakeman up and locking him in his vaunted submission hold. Wakeman quickly tried to counter free, but a Vince ran over to the timekeeper and yelled "Ring the damn bell.... ring the damn bell"! Seconds later, a threatened timekeeper, Mark Eaton, rang the bell and not even Korderas knew what was going on. Lawler: "What the heck just happened? They've called for the bell here". J.R.: "I'm not quite sure, King, but Wakeman didn't give up! Wait a minute, Vince has the title"! Lilian Garcia: "Ladies and gentleman, I have just been informed by Mister McMahon, that the winner of this match, as a result of a submission, and the new TWF World champion..... The Masterpiece, Chris Masters"! J.R.: "No! How the hell can that be?! He never gave up"! Lawler: "We have a new champion, J.R.! Chris Masters has won the title"! MELINA TRIED TO CONSOLE A SHOCKED WAKEMAN AS VINCE, HENRY AND MASTERS MADE OFF WITH THE TITLE, MASTERS HOLDING IT HIGH IN THE AIR AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED. THE CROWD BOOED AND SOME EVEN LITTERED THE RING WITH OBJECTS AND TRASH. J.R.: "This is highway robbery, King! Travis Wakeman has been screwed here in Ottawa"! Lawler: "No doubt history has been made, J.R.! Let the controversy over this begin"!
